Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
As they were talking, everyone had already arrived at a bamboo pavilion in the Buzhou Mountain Taoist Temple. After Wang Yangming asked Fang Jian to take a seat, he ordered a boy to serve him spiritual tea.
"Is this Buzhou Mountain Taoist temple surrounded by bamboos?" Fang Jian asked Wang Yangming.
Wang Yangming nodded and said, "Yes, I believe that those who practice cultivation should be pure-hearted and free from worldly desires. They should not be disturbed by worldly affairs or trapped by worldly affairs. So I took some bamboo shoots from the 'Solitary Wind and Moon Bamboo' from the Heavenly Palace and planted them inside and outside the Taoist temple on Mount Buzhou, to create a sense of tranquility and peace."
"Okay." Fang Jian nodded and said, "I happen to be free recently, so I'll have to stay in this Taoist temple for a few more days."
Wang Yangming's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he said, "It's an honor!"
Louguan Terrace, Xuanzhen Pavilion.
Taoist Priest Chiying sat cross-legged on a cushion, holding a whisk in his hand, gazing out of the small attic window with a melancholy look.
She had been locked up in Xuanzhen Pavilion for three days, facing the wall to reflect on her mistakes. However, after only three days, she could not help but miss her young lovers.
"Alas." Master Chiying let out a long sigh. Thirty years, so many lonely spring nights without those young men to keep her company. How was she supposed to get through it?
Just when Master Chiying was feeling melancholy, a ray of fairy light suddenly flew in from outside Xuanzhen Pavilion again. After a while, the window opened, and Ji Zhen'e, dressed in a pure and elegant manner, appeared in front of Master Chiying again.
"Fellow Daoist Ji." Master Chiying quickly stood up from the cushion and called out.
Ji Zhen'e looked at Master Chiying and said, "I have dismissed all of your young men."
"Ah?!" Master Chiying exclaimed, then with tears in his eyes, he looked at Ji Zhen'e with resentment and said, "Friend Ji, why are you so cruel to me?"
Ji Zhen'e said calmly, "Your heart is unstable. I think you should face the wall for three hundred years."
"Wait a minute." Upon hearing this, Master Chiying immediately wiped away his tears and said, "Those people used their beauty to serve me, causing me to break the rules. They should be dismissed. Fellow Daoist Ji did the right thing."
After saying this, Master Chiying bowed towards Ji Zhen'e and said, "Thank you, Fellow Daoist Ji, for helping me escape the sea of suffering of Salaciousness. I will devoutly devote myself to pure cultivation and seclusion in this Louguan Terrace for thirty years. Please rest assured, Fellow Daoist Ji."
Upon hearing this, Ji Zhen'e glanced at Master Chiying indifferently and said, "You should correct your Taoist heart and abandon all desires. You should know that in our Taoist sect, there are only carefree people, not playboys."
"Yes." Master Chiying bowed his head and said.
The next moment, the window closed, and a fairy light flashed outside, and Ji Zhen'e disappeared without a trace.
Xiniu Hezhou and Guqiuguan.
The temple master Zhongshou and the guest official of Guqiu Temple, Fairy Qingyu, were waiting outside Guqiu Temple. Soon, a fairy cloud was seen floating down from the sky and landing in front of the mountain gate of Guqiu Temple.
Upon seeing this, Chongshou and Fairy Qingyu hurried forward to meet them. After the fairy cloud landed on the ground, they saw a group of heavenly soldiers and generals walking down from the fairy cloud.
However, the leading heavenly general was a little strange. He was actually a young man with a dog's head and a human body. However, the dark and chubby dog's head looked a little childish. Combined with the set of heavenly general armor on his body, he looked quite funny.
"General Hei!" Chongshou and Fairy Qingyu immediately stepped forward and saluted the dog-headed heavenly general.
Yes, this dog-headed heavenly general is none other than the current Heavenly Guardian General of the Western Heaven Palace, Heidan, who is a fifth-rank heavenly general replacing a third-rank official.
Heidan returned the greeting to Chongshou and Fairy Qingyu, then asked, "Where is that evildoer?"
Chongshou immediately said, "General Hei, please follow me."
Afterwards, Chongshou and Fairy Qingyu brought Heidan and a group of heavenly soldiers from the Western Heaven Palace to a canyon outside Guqiuguan Mountain.
As soon as he entered the canyon, Heidan felt an extremely strong aura of demonic energy and death.
Soon, everyone arrived at a pit in the center of the canyon. Purple-black demonic energy continued to emanate from the pit. Heidan walked forward and took a look into the pit. He immediately said in surprise, "Dead monk?"
It turned out that there were six corpses lying in the pit, and they were all the bodies of Buddhist disciples.
"They have been possessed by demons," Chongshou said. "After being possessed by demons, they hid in Yinzhai Valley. After being discovered by Daoist Qingyu, they attempted to attack Daoist Qingyu, but were killed by Daoist Qingyu's palm."
"What was their cultivation level when they were alive?" Heidan asked Fairy Qingyu.
Fairy Qingyu replied: "Yang Shen Realm, it is the cultivation level of Yang Shen Realm, otherwise I would not be able to kill them all with one palm."
Heidan nodded, then turned to the surrounding heavenly soldiers and said, "Use the demon-suppressing talisman to seal the body, then collect it and bring it back to the Western Heaven Palace. Then send someone to notify the Buddhist sect to come and identify the body."
"Yes." The heavenly soldiers bowed and then walked towards the pit.
And the moment these heavenly soldiers stepped into the earth pit, the six corpses suddenly stiffened up, and then released extremely strong demonic energy from their bodies. Then, supported by the demonic energy, they flew out of the Yinhai Valley with a "whoosh" sound, and turned into six demonic lights flying in six directions.
"Zombie transformation?!" Chongshou exclaimed when he saw this scene.
Heidan had already flown out of the Yinzhai Valley and stood in the sky, glancing in the six directions the demon corpse had fled. He then raised his command flag and waved it, saying, "All heavenly soldiers, listen to my order! Divide into six teams immediately and hunt down the demon corpse. No mistakes will be made."
The heavenly soldiers also flew into the air and immediately divided into six teams under Heidan's command, and then chased in the six directions where the demon corpse escaped.
