Chapter 268
The half-demon suggested: "Let's team up as three people. Maybe we can have a chance of winning if we work together."
Yuan Jing originally came here with the mentality of watching a show, but after Ban Yao said this, he had a good impression of Ban Yao. At least he did not use the two of them by any means to save his life, but proposed that the three of them join forces.
In the previous world, the male and female protagonists in the plot were often either opposed to Yuan Jing's position or had problems with their values, which made Yuan Jing not interested in dealing with such protagonists. But this time, not only did he meet the male protagonist on the way, but Taoist Ling Xiao was likely to be their common enemy. In this case, if the male protagonist had good values, Yuan Jing would still be willing to interact with him.
Yuan Jing waved his fist and said, "Okay, my hands are itching, and there are people, no, there are monsters who are itching and need a beating, so I will relieve their itch for free."
Monk Funeng watched with a smile on his face, and at least no one could see the slightest hint of fear.
The half-demon chuckled after hearing Yuan Jing's words, while the other two demons were so angry that their teeth were itching. One of them shouted, "If you don't accept my toast, you'll have to drink the wine and take my punch!"
The two men shouted and rushed towards Yuan Jing and Funeng, and were about to hit them with their fists. Yuan Jing and Funeng jumped up from the donkey and met the fists of the two monsters. Then there were several "bang bang bang" sounds and two screams, and the two monsters were beaten and flew backwards.
At this time, Yuan Jing fell from mid-air. He had not yet put away his fist. He blew on his fist, and with a young face, he said in an extremely arrogant manner: "If you don't accept my toast, you will be punished. It seems that I should return this sentence to you. I said you deserved a beating, so you deserved a beating. Did you feel good after this beating?"
The two demons were so angry that their eyes turned red. How could they bully others like this? But after seeing how powerful the two Taoists and monks were, they dared not say anything else. They felt extremely aggrieved, and at the same time were afraid that the Taoists and monks would really punish them.
They didn't even hear a word. When did these two evildoers appear in the Great Zhou Dynasty? Yes, compared with these evildoers, these two young monks and Taoist priests were like evildoers and monsters.
After blowing his fist, Yuan Jing put it away, admired the two monsters' extremely frustrated expressions, then waved his hand and said, "Okay, stop showing that face, and make way quickly. Don't block our way."
"Master Dao won't accept us?"
"Why do we accept you? Are you to be our mounts or to sing songs for us to entertain us?" Yuan Jing asked strangely.
The half-demon laughed again, but the two demons could tell that the Taoist priest really wanted to let them go, so they quickly thanked him and left immediately. What if the Taoist priest or monk changed his mind? It would be too late to leave then, so they quickly got away from the demon.
Yuan Jing looked at the half-demon at this time and asked, "You won't blame us if we let them go, right?"
The half-demon was also a little depressed. He had already let him go, so wasn't it too late to say something to him? However, he had helped him after all, so he replied: "I will settle my grudge with them myself when I become stronger. I am very grateful for your rescue just now. By the way, my name is Mu Yinghai, what are your names?"
"My Taoist name is Yuan Jing."
"My Dharma name is Funeng."
"So it's Taoist Priest Yuan Jing and Master Funeng. Where are you going?"
"I heard that Yingtanjian has beautiful scenery. We have been traveling around and wanted to go and see it." Yuan Jing made up an excuse.
Hearing the words Yingtanjian, Mu Yinghai's eyes lit up and he said, "I'm familiar with Yingtanjian. I can be your guide, if you don't mind my identity."
As he spoke, the light in his eyes dimmed a little. Most people would not be able to see through his identity, but it was obvious that his half-demon identity was discovered by these two when they first met. No matter whether they were humans or demons, they were unwilling to accept the existence of a half-demon.
Funeng was a little unhappy. What was this guy doing between him and Yuan Jing? Was a trip for two people going to turn into a trip for three?
Yuan Jing said, "Okay, we just happen to be short of a guide, so it would be best if we have someone to be our guide."
Hearing Mu Yinghai say that he was familiar with Yingtan Stream, Yuan Jing wondered if Yingtan Stream had something to do with the male protagonist? Yuan Jing became more and more curious about the place where the old Taoist priest was buried in the plot, so of course he would not reject Mu Yinghai's suggestion.
Unfortunately, even though Funeng and Yuan Jing had a tacit understanding, he could not know what Yuan Jing was thinking, so he could only reluctantly accept Mu Yinghai's joining. Ever since the group of two became a group of three, Funeng had never shown a good face to this guy.
Yuan Jing knew without thinking that Funeng was jealous again. It was an instinct. No matter whether their current relationship was good friends or something else, this guy didn't like anyone to get between them. He thought about telling Funeng about Mu Yinghai's identity in private when they stayed overnight. Between Mu Yinghai and Funeng, he certainly didn't want to let Funeng down.
Funeng had a stern face and was not enthusiastic towards Mu Yinghai at all. Mu Yinghai was also a little afraid of him, so he talked to Yuan Jing all the way. This made Funeng's coldness become more and more serious, which made Mu Yinghai more confused, while Yuan Jing laughed so hard that his belly fell down.
Finally, it was night and they spent the night outdoors. After Mu Yinghai fell asleep, Yuan Jing took the initiative to get close to Funeng. Funeng was still puzzled, thinking that Yuan Jing was the type who had forgotten his old love after finding a new one, although it was a bit inappropriate to use this word to describe the relationship between the three.
His whole body exuded an aura of "the baby is very angry and needs comfort". Yuan Jing smiled secretly, sat down next to him, and casually set up a formation plate and a barrier to prevent their voices from being transmitted. This made Funeng a little happier, but he still didn't speak.
Yuan Jing did as he wished and spoke first: "Do you know who Mu Yinghai is?"
"How should I know? He's just a half-demon." Funeng finally spoke.
Yuan Jing knew that this guy was actually very easy to please, and he was the same in every life. He continued, "He is a half-demon, but his identity is a bit special. He has a grudge against Ling Xiao, and not only that, but he also has a lot of luck."
Now Funeng finally understood why Yuan Jing wanted to bring Mu Yinghai along. He wanted to use him to deal with Ling Xiao, the demon. The depression in his heart immediately dissipated, and he took the initiative to discuss with Yuan Jing: "Have you seen it? How did he and Ling Xiao, the demon, become enemies? Is his father or mother from the capital?"
"Yes, Senior Brother Fu guessed right. His mother is a demon, and his father is a prince from the imperial family in the capital. That prince and Ji Jinghuai's mother are cousins, so Mu Yinghai and Ji Jinghuai are actually cousins. Mu may be his mother's surname. His surname should be Zhuo, the royal Zhuo. His name is Zhuo Yinghai."
Funeng never expected that after going around in circles, all the people he met could be related to him. Can you say that this world is too small?
"Junior Brother Jing, you know so much about it. So it was Ling Xiao who separated his mother and father? Something happened to his mother? So he wants to go to Beijing to seek revenge on Ling Xiao?" Funeng guessed.
Yuan Jing nodded: "Yes, judging from his face, one of his parents is missing, that is his mother. She must have passed away not long after giving birth to him. From the looks of it, he grew up among the demons, but his half-demon identity is not welcomed, so you can imagine that his life has not been easy over the years."
After knowing Mu Yinghai's identity, Funeng's little calculations started to clatter in his mind. It would not be bad for them to make friends with Mu Yinghai, especially after they went to the capital. With Mu Yinghai in the open, he could attract the attention of Ling Xiao, the demon, and he and Yuan Jing could act calmly behind him.
Well, considering that this guy is very useful to Yuan Jing, let's let him stay with them for the time being, Funeng thought.
Funeng added, "Looking at his bloodline, he is biased towards the demon race. Since he has shown such a great interest in Yingtan Stream, does that mean that Yingzha Stream is related to the demon race?"
Although he was not happy about Mu Yinghai's interruption at that time, it did not mean that he missed Mu Yinghai's reaction when Yuan Jing mentioned Yingtanjian.
Yuan Jing nodded: "That's what I guessed too. Let's wait and see when we get over there. We just need to be careful."
Funeng agreed.
After the two of them finished communicating, they removed the formation and then sat cross-legged on the spot, ready to meditate all night. In the morning, they would still be full of energy and could improve their strength earlier.
In the past, Funeng was very diligent in his cultivation, because he wanted to leave Guiyuan Temple early and go out with Yuan Jing to gain experience, so he practiced day and night. Now, although he is with Yuan Jing, Yuan Jing’s enemy is very likely the Lingxiao demon. He and Yuan Jing are good brothers, and Yuan Jing’s enemy is his enemy. He thinks his strength is too weak, so he has to be more diligent and improve his cultivation so that he can protect Yuan Jing.
Master Jingkong must have been very depressed if you knew what Funeng was thinking. This youngest disciple clearly had the highest talent, but from the beginning to the end, he never practiced for the purpose of promoting Buddhism. Also, why was it that his purpose was so utilitarian, but the cultivation level of this young disciple was rising very quickly? This made Master Jingkong even more depressed. This young disciple was just not doing his job properly.
At dawn, when Mu Yinghai opened his eyes, he saw that Yuan Jing and Funeng had just finished meditation. They had clearly practiced all night. He felt a little ashamed that he had slept all night. With a great hatred on his shoulders, he was not as diligent in practice as Yuan Jing and Funeng. He secretly made up his mind that he must never slack off in the future, as it was up to him to avenge his mother.
The hatred for killing one’s mother is irreconcilable.
If his mother had not been severely injured by the demon, how could she have died after giving birth to him? Mu Yinghai could remember things from the moment he was born. His mother had transferred all her last demonic power to him and sealed it in his body, which had been gradually released and integrated into his body over the years. When Mu Yinghai thought of where this demonic power came from, he wanted to rush to the capital.
But he was not strong enough to go to the capital and die in vain, wasting the life his mother had given him.
