Chapter 105 The Venerable Appears! Pei Jianxian Takes the Initiative to Hold Hands
"Fourth Master, please give me a definite answer! Are you willing to accept my loyalty?"
Ji Wenjun's eyes were bloodshot, and he gritted his teeth and said, "If you don't want to, you can just let this fairy kill me with a sword and send me to reunite with my lover!"
The eldest son of the king, Ji Yun, whispered: "Fourth Master, although Wen Jun is my brother, I still have to remind you that it was he who planned the shipwreck on the Cangyun River, causing you and Fairy Ning to almost fall into the river. This time, I'm afraid he was sent by my father."
"Mr. Gu, please be careful."
Pei Jianxian, who was watching coldly with his arms folded across his chest, frowned and said, "I hate people who are treacherous and fickle the most in my life. He can betray his father now, and maybe he can do it at a critical moment."
"That makes sense."
Gu Zhinan looked at Pei Jianxian, who was wearing a white silk cheongsam and a lady-like outfit, and chuckled, "My fairy is becoming more and more alert."
Pei Wanyu blushed slightly and puffed out her chest proudly: "I have always been smarter than you! Isn't it true?"
Gu Zhinan smiled without saying anything, but at this moment he just wanted to kiss the fairy's stubborn mouth.
The other side.
Listening to the conversation between the three people, Ji Wenjun's pupils suddenly shrank, and then a sad smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Well, Saint Aunt and I were ordered by our father to tamper with the pleasure boat and put you in danger. I admit it!"
"It is understandable that you don't believe me now!"
"bring it on!"
He held the demon's head in his arms and raised his neck, "Please give me one, Master Gu..."
The word "death" has not yet been finished.
A pair of warm and strong hands pressed down on his shoulders.
"this"
Ji Wenjun raised his head instinctively, and saw a handsome and righteous face.
At this moment, the golden sunlight above Xiji Island shone behind his head, making him look like a god descending from heaven.
"Master Si Si, what are you doing..."
Ji Wenjun's throat trembled and he didn't know what to say.
“Prejudice in people’s hearts is a mountain.”
"In my opinion, there is no absolute good or evil in this world."
“There are just different positions.”
Gu Zhinan helped the man up and raised his eyebrows, saying, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend. I believe you hate King Ji, so my Gu family is willing to accept you as a guest for the time being."
"But don't worry, I always trust people I employ, and I don't employ people I don't trust."
"Now that I have said this, I can give you my full trust."
"Just go ahead and do it. If you need me to send someone to assist you, just ask."
"Fourth Young Master, you..."
Looking at the young man in front of him who seemed to be glowing, Ji Wenjun's eyes filled with tears and he choked up and bowed again:
"I have heard for a long time that Fourth Master Gu has a generous character, is courteous to the wise, and has friends all over the world."
"I, Ji Wenjun, will never help someone pee in my life, so I'll only obey you, Fourth Master! Now, I finally understand why those kind demons obeyed your will until the very last moment in Tianfeng Valley that day!"
"That's because you, Fourth Young Master, possess a personality as great and glorious as the sun!"
Gu Zhinan interrupted, "I am just a human body, I don't want to be the sun. There can only be one sun in the world of Kyushu, and that is it."
He looked at Pei Jianxian standing beside him.
"Why are you looking at me?"
Pei Wanyu frowned slightly.
Then, the cold and aloof female swordsman raised her bright red lips and said jokingly, "Aren't they praising you, Gu-Tai-Yang?"
She deliberately dragged out these three words.
"Ahem, everything is fine."
Gu Zhinan laughed dryly and got back to the point: "Second Prince, from what you just said, have you been into the underground treasury of the Tianfeng Palace?"
"My Lord, please call me by my name. I don't deserve to be called the Second Prince."
The dark and arrogant Second Prince of Tianfeng Kingdom humbly bowed his hands, then his expression gradually became solemn: "My lord, you don't know, my two brothers who died young actually admired you very much before, until one day, they entered the underground treasury and saw some secrets. The next day, they found my father and said all kinds of bad things about you. Then, my father locked them at the bottom of the well and starved them to death."
"In order to find out the real cause of death of the two brothers, and also to be curious about what the two brothers saw in the treasury that day. So I sneaked into the treasury, and I didn't expect that I really saw it."
"Second brother, you are lying!"
The eldest son Ji Yun at the side said suspiciously, "When the two brothers passed away, you were only a child of seven or eight years old. How could you have such a mind? And you want to help them get revenge? Absurd!"
"You are the one who is ridiculous, my brother."
Ji Wenjun sneered, "Although I was only seven or eight years old at that time, I already understood the truth of being prepared for danger when a rabbit dies. The two princes were still enjoying great favors the day before, but they disappeared not long after. If I don't find out the reason, I might be the next one to disappear!"
"Do you think everyone is as heartless as you?"
"You have no respect for your elders! You are asking for a beating!"
Ji Yun's fat face turned red and he pretended to hit someone.
"Okay, give me some face and stop arguing." Gu Zhinan cleared his throat, "We must face the outside world with one voice."
The two princes stopped cursing at each other tacitly.
Gu Zhinan cleared his throat and continued, "Go on, what did you see after entering the treasure house?"
"My lord, I have seen the diary of King Bai, the founding monarch of Tianfeng Kingdom." Ji Wenjun said.
"Diary?" Gu Zhinan was stunned.
"Yes." Ji Wenjun said, "King Bai Bai Tianqi was once a prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. In that tragic battle for the throne, he was defeated by his younger brother and was driven to this Tianfeng Island."
"After establishing the country on the three islands of Tianfeng, the White King learned from his mistakes and began to reflect on the reasons for his failure. It was during this process that he fell in love with writing a diary. He loved it so much that he even wrote about his secret visits to prostitutes!"
"Diary? What is this?"
Pei Jianxian, who was listening quietly at the side, blurted out.
But the next second, she looked down at her luxurious low-cut cheongsam and realized that she was playing the role of a "noblewoman of a family guarding the country". Her cheeks immediately turned red. "You guys continue, don't worry about me."
"Fairy, a diary is a form of writing that records one's daily thoughts and actions."
Gu Zhinan patiently explained in plain language.
Pei Wanyu was puzzled and asked, "But who would write down the most private things in their heart on this paper? Wouldn't it be exposed later?"
"Yes, as the fairy said, what is written down is definitely not what is in my heart."
Gu Zhinan smiled and looked at the Second Young Master of the Kingdom and said, "What do you think, Second Young Master?"
"Oh, it's like this, no decent person would write a diary."
Ji Wenjun agreed with a smile, and then said: "But, that Bai Wang is really not a serious person."
"Oh, what do you mean?"
"It is clearly written in the White King's diary that after his defeat, he originally wanted to commit suicide, but it was the 'Venerable' who descended from the sky and guided him to go to Tianfeng Island to establish a country and accumulate strength in order to counterattack Daxia in the future."
"Your Excellency?" Gu Zhinan's eyes flashed. "This damn guy appeared during the White King's era? He also helped the White King establish the Tianfeng Kingdom?"
At this moment, his heart was in turmoil.
That incredible guess about the true identity of the Venerable once again came to my mind.
You know, according to the Tianfeng official history, it was... "Yes." Ji Wenjun said, "It was also said in the White King's diary that he originally admired the Venerable and was grateful to the Venerable, but gradually, he found that the Venerable's motives were not pure and he had his own sinister plots, so he began to be wary of Him."
"In addition, the White King mentioned at the end of his diary that after some investigation, he found that the Venerable was not only a great beauty but also came from one of the eight great families that protect the country in the Imperial Capital!"
What!?
Hearing this, not only Master Gu Si, who was a son of a noble family that guarded the country, but even Pei Jianxian who was standing beside him had his eyes wide open and looked horrified.
"My lord, everything I said is true. These are the original words in the White King's diary."
Ji Wenjun said quickly.
"I believe you. Go on, tell me what else you found."
Gu Zhinan calmed down and said calmly.
Ji Wenjun continued, "After discovering the true identity of the Venerable, King Bai felt that he could not afford to offend Him, so he could only deliberately distance himself from Him. The last long paragraph of the diary was full of King Bai's sighs and various desperate ventings. King Bai even regretted that he founded the Tianfeng Kingdom and made wedding clothes for others."
"etc."
Gu Zhinan interrupted: "The date when the Bai King wrote the words "making wedding clothes for others" was your father's date?"
"Fourth Master guessed correctly."
Ji Wenjun said: "It was the seventh year of Wenyuan in Daxia and the thirty-first year of Tianfeng calendar. That day was also the eve of my father's coup d'état."
"It's completely clear now."
Gu Zhinan narrowed his eyes and said, "When the Venerable saw that the White King was out of control, he turned to support your father to take the throne."
"It should be so."
Ji Wenjun nodded, and said with a deep look, "In fact, in the middle of the diary, the White King seemed to have written down the identity of the Venerable and his true intentions, but when I was reading it, those pages were missing."
"I have roughly guessed his plan. Whether the diary is missing or not is not important anymore."
Gu Zhinan shook his head indifferently.
But my heart was trembling with excitement.
What the hell is this Dark Journey to the West! Beat the small ones, then the big ones come, take the big ones away, is there an umbrella of protection in the sky?
indeed.
If the Venerable is from one of the eight great families that defend the country of Daxia, then there must be his accomplices in the court of the imperial capital.
No wonder the Demonic Buddhist Kingdom in the three southwestern states, Xiao Qiyu, the ruler of the Buddhist Kingdom, clamored, "The aristocratic families at the top of the power in Daxia are rotten to the core."
I'm afraid it's really rotten.
Otherwise, the "Five Kings Rebellion" would not have broken out, nor would Pei Jianxian have taken action to cleanse the old mountains and rivers with such violent means. "By the way, the two Hehuan demon girls who chased me at the beginning of this life claimed to be sent by the "National Master"..."
"so."
Gu Zhinan narrowed his eyes, and a fierce murderous intent burst out of his eyes.
The conclusion can almost be drawn now.
That powerful, profound Buddhist master with a hypocritical face is closely related to the Venerable! "I hope that the elder brother and father I have never met can hold on, at least until the day when my wife Pei and I take in the Venerable Dog and rush back to the Imperial Capital!"
Gu Zhinan prayed silently in his heart.
at the same time.
Imperial capital.
This super prosperous metropolis that he had longed for in his heart also became a little heavy.
Compared to that cunning national teacher.
He even felt that Sister Pei's mother, Princess Tang Luo Wuyan, and Ye Feng's mother, Nangong Mei, had become gentle and amiable.
"The enemy of my enemy is my friend."
"That dog-like national teacher wants to turn Daxia into a den of demons and devils, which is obviously contrary to the interests of those two beauties."
"Then we can use the same old tricks again and form a big alliance?"
Gu Zhinan couldn't help but be stunned.
At this moment, a rather gentle royal sister's voice came to my ears: "Hello, Mr. Gu."
"Hmm?" Gu Zhinan glanced over.
But he saw Pei Jianxian's flawless face, which looked like a fairy from the Ninth Heaven under the sunlight.
"There are three words that you have told me many times. Have you forgotten them?"
Pei Wanyu looked at the young man with her phoenix eyes, and let a strand of black hair hang by her ear, revealing her snow-white earlobe: "This time, I will win!"
"Yeah! We'll win!"
Gazing at the determined pair of phoenix eyes, Gu Zhinan suddenly became courageous. He ignored the gazes of the two kings and princes beside him and took the female boss's jade-white hand.
This time, a blush of embarrassment appeared on her mature and beautiful face.
There was no escape.
But.
He held Master Gu's big hand tightly.
Next.
After listening to his subordinate, Master Ji Er's feasibility report on "Sneaking into the underground treasury and seizing the national seal on the night of the birthday banquet."
Mr. Gu Si gave high praise and made important instructions:
"Wenjun, just go for it. Only success is allowed, not failure!"
"Please rest assured, my lord!" Ji Wenjun said with a solemn look, "I have visited the underground treasury seven or eight times. I can find the national seal and the White King's diary no matter where they are placed with my eyes closed!"
"Very good. In this case, I should go to the Shenlong Temple to meet your father."
Gu Zhinan looked towards the huge dome to the east that was gleaming with golden light. "By the way, do you know why your father wanted to divide the birthday banquet into two and why he had to hold this incense burning banquet?"
"Well, I really don't know."
Ji Wenjun shook his head.
At this moment, a burst of excited voices came from the direction of the village entrance:
"It's the holy monk from the Shenlong Temple in the royal capital!"
"Fellow villagers! The kindness of the Venerable and the King has finally reached our Jijia Village!"
"Two suns in the same sky! Buddha's light bathes the world! Two suns make people's hearts warm!"
"We welcome the Holy Envoy of the Dragon!"
"Second brother? What's going on? Are you the one who brought this person with you?"
Ji Yun looked at his younger brother suspiciously, and said angrily, "Great! I knew you were not sincerely submitting to the Fourth Master!"
"Bullshit!" Ji Wenjun said angrily, "Didn't you hear the villagers say welcome the Holy Dragon Envoy? What is a Holy Envoy? They are monks from the Shenlong Temple! Only the Venerable and the abbot of the temple can mobilize them!"
"Okay, go and take a look."
Gu Zhinan looked at Pei Jianxian next to him with a deep gaze, and then forced a smile and said, "Fairy, what are you thinking about?"
"Demon spirit. What's coming is a group of demons."
Pei Jianxian, who has a natural talent for treasure hunting and has always had extraordinary sensitivity, looked at him with deep eyes: "To be exact, just like the Saint Lady, she is half human and half demon."
"Well, this makes it even more necessary to go and see."
Gu Zhinan's eyes were sharp.
The three of them arrived at the entrance of the village.
At this moment, the green wooden archway with the words "Jijia Village" engraved on it was already surrounded by pale and skinny villagers of all ages, both men and women.
Everyone had tears in their eyes, waved their hands, and praised the scene ahead with a pious look on their faces.
At the dock, a group of warrior monks wearing purple and gold robes were carrying bronze lotus sedan chairs, which were walking on the waves from the river. The moment the curtains of the sedan chairs were opened, a group of young and cute faces appeared.
They were all girls of seven or eight years old! Bang! The monks stepped onto the shore, carrying a bronze lotus sedan, and slowly walked towards the villagers of Jijia Village.
The leading monk wiped the strange thin beard at the corner of his mouth and slammed his staff heavily on the ground:
"The Venerable's teaching: There are still thirteen maidens waiting before the lotus throne of the Pure Land Dharma Assembly."
"Are there any girls of school-age children in your Jijia Village?"
As soon as these words came out.
The villagers of Jijia Village, who had not seen strangers for many years, were stunned for a few seconds.
Then, an old man wearing a green robe and a square scarf, who looked like a villager, picked up his granddaughter and said excitedly, "Holy Envoy! Holy Envoy! I am the villager of Jijia Village! Five years ago, my eldest granddaughter was chosen by the Venerable and had the honor of becoming his maiden!"
"This is my second granddaughter. She is seven years old this year, just the right age!"
As he spoke, he tore open the left side of his cloth, revealing the "Nirvana Mantra" carved with fish bones between his ribs: "Although my family is poor, I have been diligent in practicing Buddhism. My granddaughter has been influenced by her and has a strong Buddhist nature!"
"The most important thing is that her mother washed her body with sea snake blood when the tide rose three days ago!"
"Hmm." The monk stepped forward, and a two-headed centipede sprang out from his sleeve. Its poisonous jaws precisely clamped the mole between the girl's eyebrows. "Hmm, good, this child has a three-life Buddhist affinity with you - take her away!"
Seeing that both granddaughters of the Muramasa family were chosen by the Venerable and were about to receive his grace.
The surrounding villagers rushed to offer their young daughters of marriageable age.
"Holy Envoy, my daughter has been a vegetarian since she was young!"
"My niece dreamt about the lotus throne of the Venerable Master on the Smoke Island last night! What a great affinity with the Buddha!"
“Holy Envoy, don’t be so strict about age! I also want to serve the Venerable! Wuuuuuuu!”
He seemed to be moved by the enthusiasm of the villagers.
The monks accepted all the offered girls and stuffed them into the bronze lotus sedan at the back.
Just as the monks showed a strange smile and were about to ride on the waves and leave.
“Boom!”
A terrifying and sharp silver-white sword light whizzed over from the end of the village!
“Bang, bang, bang!”
After a series of crisp sounds.
More than a dozen bronze sedan chairs were turned into countless pieces, revealing a terrified girl inside.
And at the same time.
The monks' robes were also cut by the powerful sword wind, revealing the hideous bodies inside! In an instant, everyone looked terrified and fell silent!
These monks from the Shenlong Temple actually had fish fins growing all over their bodies, which looked both weird and disgusting! "Who are you? How dare you blaspheme the holy power of the Venerable!"
The leading monk gathered his true energy and roared angrily.
The thin whiskers gradually turned into two slippery catfish whiskers? "I am the eldest son of Tianfeng Kingdom!"
A loud shout came from the entrance of the village.
The monks looked far ahead and saw two men in blue royal brocade robes, surrounding a handsome young man in a green shirt, walking slowly towards them.
And the sword strike just now was actually done by the beautiful woman behind the three men who did not conceal her aura at all.
"Boss, it really is the eldest and second sons. I have seen them before."
A monk with a very short beard stepped forward and looked at the brother who was leading the team.
"Hey, since he is the son of King Ji, let's give him this face and go to another place, Yuanshen Island."
The leading bearded monk made the decision.
Then he ordered his men to grab the girls, and the group turned and walked towards the dock.
At this moment, a cold male voice came:
"Wait."
"Masters, are you allowed to leave?"
Gu Zhinan walked forward coldly.
Then he realized something and quickly winked at the female boss behind him.
Pei Jianxian snorted lightly, and her white silk jade feet swung in the air, flying across the sky and arriving beside Master Gu.
Gu Zhinan looked at the leading monk with great interest. The monk looked like a catfish monster, but had half human features.
"Hey, Your Excellency is..."
"A new variety developed by the Venerable?"
"What's your name? Catfish Man? Catfish Man?"
"Shut up!"
The monk's face turned pale, and he gritted his teeth and said, "No matter who you are, for the sake of the two princes, we will not bother with you today!"
"Forget it. Since the two gentlemen don't want us to show our kindness in Jijia Village, we can just return these girls to them!"
He had just finished speaking.
A cry came from behind: "No! Lord Saint Envoy! It is a blessing for my daughter to be favored by the Venerable!"
"Yes! Lord Holy Envoy! Don't bother with these despicable outsiders! We don't recognize anyone except the Honorable One and the King!"
"We are too poor in Jijia Village! We are too poor! Your kindness has been so hard to bestow upon us, how can we give it up?"
Watching the villagers persevere in offering their grandchildren as gifts.
Gu Zhinan was both angry and amused, "Look carefully! These monks are monsters, not humans! Are you sure you want to hand the child over to them? I'm afraid that the dog venerable will turn the child into medicine dregs as soon as he landed on Yandao Island."
"Sir! Stop exaggerating!"
An old man who looked like Muramasa came over angrily, holding a cane. "My eldest granddaughter was chosen by several holy envoys to go to Yandao three years ago and became a servant of the Venerable. Now she has not only achieved great success in cultivation and learned some mysterious magic, but also sent us a magical projection jade! Through this jade, we can communicate with her at all times! She is much more sensible now than before!"
"That's right! My daughter was chosen together with the granddaughter of Lord Muramasa, and we also received jade! The children grew up fair and tender under the grace of the Venerable. I don't know how much better they are than in the village!"
A middle-aged woman chimed in.
"Don't talk about our Jijia Village. In the entire Tianfeng Three Islands, thousands of girls with a predestined relationship with Buddhism were selected by the Venerable to go to Yandao. Their parents also received this jade stone. Not only can they watch their children grow up every day, but they can also get a glimpse of the blissful holy land of Yandao and be stained with some Buddha's light. The Venerable is really too..."
"It won't be long before they finish their studies and come back to take care of us, the elders and the people of our country!"
The villagers were talking to each other, and the atmosphere was very angry.
He ignored the noble status of the two kings and surrounded the four people.
Compared to Pei Jianxian and the two princes who looked angry.
Fourth Master Gu sighed softly.
His heart was filled with sadness at this moment.
"Muramasa-sama! Take out the projection jade and show it to these three ignorant nobles!"
A villager suggested.
"Okay! Three young masters, I will let you see it clearly now! So that you won't slander me everywhere!"
As Laocun was speaking, he took out a purple-black stone from his arms.
Then, he chanted the Buddha's name while poking the obscure Sanskrit words on it with his fingers.
“Watch this!”
Lao Cunzheng bit his index finger and smeared the stone surface with blood. The Sanskrit on the surface of the stone suddenly burst into golden light, and gradually left the stone surface, appearing suspended in the void!
The next moment, a vivid picture appeared between the lines of Sanskrit:
Above the island shrouded in clouds and mist, in front of an ancient and elegant Buddhist temple that was completely red as if stained with blood, hundreds of little girls were playing on the grass. Each of them had skin as white as cream and a holy Buddha light shining between their brows.
"Niuniu! It's Grandpa! Quick! Show the guests the magic that the Venerable has bestowed upon them!"
Muramasa called out with a loving look on his face.
In the video, a little girl with pigtails smiles sweetly and waves a golden lotus with her little hand. A holographic model of Jijia Village appears in the pistil, and even the broken shells on the mudflats are clearly visible.
While speaking to his granddaughter with a kind look, Muramasa looked at Master Gu with cold eyes: "Young Master, please watch carefully! Is this something that can be conjured up by magic?"
Gu Zhinan's veins popped out and he clenched his fists.
really.
As he had guessed, if the venerable was born a woman, she would be killed by the British police!
"Fourth Master, how should we deal with this situation? Or we should just leave. Anyway, these evil monks dare not touch us."
The eldest son Ji Yun suggested.
"Brother, I rarely agree with what you said. It seems that this situation is very unfavorable for us." Ji Wenjun also agreed.
"Do you see anything?"
Pei Jianxian ignored the noise of the crowd, came to the young man's side, and spoke using a secret method.
“It’s divine thought.”
Gu Zhinan gritted his teeth and said, "Hong Ji, oh no, someone once said that my spiritual power is naturally strong. At this moment, I can clearly feel that what is shown on this shadow stone is the diffraction of the spiritual thoughts of these girls. The fact that the spiritual thoughts can be split so thoroughly shows that their physical bodies are now..."
As soon as the words fell.
The Guardian Soul Realm on his chest, which had been silent for a long time, lit up with a red glow: "You have received a challenging mission: remotely crack the magic of the Venerable."
"Mission Reward: 3000 Experience Points"
"Task time limit: half an hour."
"So, you want me to take action?"
Pei Wanyu raised her eyebrows slightly, and her slender white hand slid towards the fairy sword at her waist. Her plump and slender legs wrapped in white suspenders stood apart, already in a fighting stance.
"No, fairy, I want to formally declare war on that venerable, starting from now on!"
"A mere AI life form can't faze me, the Fourth Master!"
Gu Zhinan said with cold eyes.
One of the three Tianfeng Islands, Yan Island.
In front of the Hongye Buddhist Temple, clouds and mist are rolling and Buddhist chants are lingering.
From time to time, fairy cranes would fly in, their light feet tapping the water surface, creating tiny ripples. A venerable master with long hair draped over his shoulders, graceful curves, a golden and jade cassock, and a Taoist Bagua mask would sit cross-legged on a suspended red-gold lotus platform.
Her slender hands, which were so pale that they were almost transparent, with a few blood vessels exposed, formed the seal of a thousand-petal lotus, and the cinnabar between her brows flickered with her breathing.
As she turned her palm, the twelve-layered white gauze robes moved without wind, and the bronze pestle hanging from the hem jingled, drawing bloody Sanskrit characters in the air.
Just when the magical energy flow reached its terrifying extreme.
The next moment, her body trembled.
Behind the mask, the pair of sacred and magnificent phoenix eyes, emitting amber Buddha light, suddenly opened.
“That man.”
Her voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the Netherworld, filled with endless astonishment and fear:
“He’s really back.”
