Chapter 178 Possessed by Evil
Duobao smiled wryly, "Master, you're relieved, but I'm not."
"Master, did you see the mountain lord when you went to Lishan this time?" Duobao just wanted to cry for help.
Second Master Uncle is probably feeding Junior Brother Kong Xuan right now. Once he comes out, things will change drastically.
“I have never been to Lishan,” Tongtian said, puzzled. “So I have never met your mountain lord.” Duobao knew that he had gone to the East Sea to practice the Zhuxian Sword.
"I imagine the Mountain Lord hasn't seen Master for a long time, and must be eagerly awaiting him at Lishan, hoping to discuss scriptures and doctrines with him." Duobao cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
Tongtian was just thinking about when he had ever discussed scriptures and doctrines with Chang Hao. He and Chang Hao only sparred in swordsmanship or taught each other the way of formations; discussing scriptures and doctrines was something his second brother... his second brother!!!
Tongtian's head was buzzing. He suddenly realized what Duobao meant and caught on to his words. He then looked at himself and realized that he had done this at the foot of Kunlun Mountain and was completely unable to explain himself.
"Duobao, you are right. We cannot keep our friends waiting. Your teacher will go to Lishan for a while."
"Please take good care of these junior brothers and sisters, Duobao. There are many islands in the East China Sea; they don't all need to be crammed onto Jin'ao Island."
Do you understand, Duobao? Don't crowd everyone onto Jin'ao Island, or your second uncle, my second brother, will find something to use against you.
As for him, he went to Lishan to find a protective talisman and couldn't take care of them for the time being.
"Yes, Duobao obeys." Duobao secretly breathed a sigh of relief. His master had finally remembered to lay low for a while. Otherwise, if his second master uncle caught him, his master's situation would be in grave danger.
Duobao rushed as fast as he could and finally managed to resolve the matter before his second senior brother finished feeding his junior brother Kong Xuan. Just as he breathed a sigh of relief, he saw Yuanshi Tianzun standing in front of him like an ice statue.
Guang Chengzi, the junior brother, stared at the scene in utter bewilderment. What... what happened?
"Duobao greets Second Martial Uncle..." Duobao's heart pounded like a drum, and cold sweat almost dripped from his forehead.
"Duobao...you really are a good disciple," Yuanshi said cryptically.
"Second Master Uncle, you flatter me. I am merely respecting my teacher and would never dare to offend you." Duobao lowered his head even further.
“Very good, keep it up, Guangchengzi…” Yuanshi glanced at his eldest disciple beside him, “What are you still standing there for? Go help your senior brother with Kunlun affairs. You don’t need to follow me around serving you all the time. It’s too formal.”
Listen, besides cultivating, this is what you should be doing. Don't spend all day guarding the door and following him around every step of the way.
"Yes, Master, I will handle matters properly with my senior brother," Guang Chengzi replied humbly. "But serving Master is my duty, and I would never dare to neglect it."
Duobao secretly felt sorry for his junior brother Guangchengzi. "Your second senior uncle dislikes you for always following him. Why can't you understand?"
"Where did your master go?" Yuanshi couldn't bear to look at him. He had made it so clear, so why did Guangchengzi seem to be missing a screw?
"Master is going to Lishan to discuss scriptures and doctrines with the mountain lord." Duobao had a mysterious smile on his face.
I imagine that the next moment, my second senior uncle will chase after Master to Lishan to settle accounts, only to be suppressed by the mountain lord.
For a long time afterward, I couldn't see my second senior brother and master in Kunlun...
What a wonderful life...
Yuanshi was secretly pleased. "Guangchengzi, I will go to Lishan to visit friends. You will stay in Kunlun."
"Disciple..." How could I not carry it with me...?
Duobao quickly covered Guangchengzi's mouth, "Respectfully seeing off Second Martial Uncle..."
Duo Bao is quite sensible. Yuan Shi glanced at Duo Bao and said, "If Guang Chengzi comes along, how will he get Chang Hao's forgiveness?"
Guang Chengzi is still too idle...
Tongtian rode the Black Lotus of Annihilation all the way to Lishan. "Amulet, amulet, you must come out of seclusion!" Tongtian thought. "It's okay if you don't come out of seclusion. Anyway, Tongtian knows that if he hides in the back hall, he will be fine."
A wobbly little cub nearly crashed into the Black Lotus of Annihilation, but Tongtian swiftly caught the furry creature. "Oh, it's glittering with golden light. You wouldn't happen to be a Golden Crow, would you?"
Thinking he had struck gold, Tongtian lifted the cub's lower abdomen to take a look, only to find it had two legs instead of three. His disappointment was palpable. "So it wasn't one after all."
"Chirp..."
Tongtian's smile vanished abruptly; something seemed amiss...
His gaze fell on the cub, and his familiar untamed spirit resurfaced. "Alright, alright, even if it's not a golden crow, it's still pretty to look at, all sparkling with gold. It'll be perfect to take it back to keep Kong Xuan company. The two birds will definitely get along."
Tongtian conjured a comb and smoothed out the cub's messy fur, cleaning it as well. He blinked, and a cluster of flames on the cub's brow flickered on and off.
“This kind of bloodline seal is quite rare,” Tongtian said, glancing through the seal. He recalled the once proud phoenix that was the only one of its kind in the world, and the corners of his mouth widened. “So it’s just a little golden phoenix that’s been sealed away.”
The little phoenix stumbled out and bumped into him. It was fate, truly fate. No matter how much the ancestral phoenix schemed to protect the golden phoenix, it couldn't ultimately defy fate...
"I suppose you don't have a name yet. Since we're so destined to meet, I'll give you one. What should I call you?" Tongtian looked at the little phoenix's golden crow feathers, which shimmered with a spiritual light. "I've got it! You'll be called Jinling..."
Far away in the Demon Realm, Rahu's face darkened. He took a deep breath and watched as Tongtian picked up pets that were not presentable along the way. He was so angry that he almost vomited blood.
That's it?
Is this what Tongtian meant by "doing whatever he wants"?
What of mountains of corpses and seas of blood? What of the collapse of heaven and earth? What of the falling of the sun and moon?
"Are you kidding me?!" Enraged, Luo Hou punched the only demon tree in the demon realm, snapping it in half.
"What bad luck! The primordial world is full of strange things, and I still managed to run into this." Taking on disciples is nothing compared to doing whatever you want? Picking up pets is nothing compared to doing whatever you want?
"I don't believe it, I absolutely don't believe it." Luo Hou didn't believe there was such a strange saint, so he decided to pester Tongtian relentlessly. Fortunately, his Zhuxian Sword contained a lot of his demonic energy, so he wasn't afraid of not having enough killing energy to replenish his demonic energy. In fact, it could even grow stronger.
It's a bit of a boon for Tongtian, though. He absorbed the demonic energy, and since the Four Swords of Zhuxian already recognized Tongtian as their master, the purification process was even faster with less demonic energy...
Luo Hou was furious at the sight of the Four Swords of Zhuxian and the Black Lotus of Annihilation. "You heartless ingrates..."
So when Chang Hao returned to Lishan, he saw Yaochi looking conflicted.
Yaochi looked at him with the expression of seeing a savior, "Senior brother, you're finally back."
"What happened?" Chang Hao was now concerned about why Yao Chi, who was usually very energetic, was so conflicted. Yao Chi usually handled things herself.
"Senior brother, Senior Brother Tongtian is hiding in your room and won't leave no matter what. It's like he's possessed." Yaochi couldn't help but laugh out loud as she spoke. How could a saint be possessed?
What is said without intention may be taken to heart by the listener. Even sages are not immune to being possessed by evil spirits, as long as their cultivation surpasses that of Tongtian, such as Rahu, the ancestor of demonic energy...
