Chapter 269
Even though he talked it out, Funeng still intentionally or unintentionally separated Yuan Jing and Mu Yinghai, the pretty boy. After so many times, Mu Yinghai was made to laugh and cry by him.
Some say Mu Yinghai is a gigolo, but in fact the young monk Funeng looks more like a gigolo than Mu Yinghai. Even fairies would be moved and want to seduce him.
Understanding Funeng's narrow-mindedness, Mu Yinghai's impression of this monk quickly dropped, the kind of down-to-earth drop. He thought to himself, is it necessary for Funeng to be so unfriendly to him? And Funeng, as a monk, aren't you too close to the young Taoist priest Yuan Jing? Don't monks have to abstain from sex? Why did Monk Funeng do this?
This kind of thing between men was not surprising to Mu Yinghai, because he had seen many male demons living with other male demons in the demon clan, and he had also heard of male demons going down the mountain to hook up with human men. But now, when it happened to a monk and a Taoist priest, Mu Yinghai found it unnatural no matter how he looked at it.
After seeing through the intentions of this shameless monk, Mu Yinghai deliberately spoke affectionately to Taoist Priest Yuan Jing. Sure enough, even he could smell the sour smell. The more sour the monk was, the happier he was. It was because this monk had made him lose face for several days.
Although Taoist Priest Yuan Jing was good-looking and young, and looked androgynous, Mu Yinghai swore to heaven that he had normal sexual orientation and only liked delicate and soft girls. Having seen how Taoist Priest Yuan Jing beat a demon with his fists and made her scream, he did not dare to have the slightest thought of blasphemy.
"Okay, stop teasing my brother," Yuan Jing was the first to dissuade Mu Yinghai, "If you continue like this, be careful that he will throw you into the mountains when you fall asleep one night."
Mu Yinghai, who had a very good impression of Yuan Jing, was stunned when he heard Yuan Jing's words. He didn't expect that the young Taoist priest would be such a young Taoist priest. The young Taoist priest felt distressed before the monk jumped up. Mu Yinghai was even jealous of the monk Funeng.
He lowered his voice and said, "Little Taoist priest, that guy is a monk. Have you really thought it through? What if his Buddhist rules are strict? Wouldn't you be wrong to make the decision?"
Yuan Jing smiled: "Humans and demons can live together, so what's wrong with monks and Taoists? At worst, I can let Brother Fu return to secular life."
Mu Yinghai couldn't help but give Yuan Jing a thumbs up, and was full of admiration. The young Taoist priest was too tough: "But I think Master Funeng doesn't seem to fully realize what's going on."
Yuan Jing was not worried at all: "Anyway, we are both still young, there is plenty of time to wait, Master Mu does not need to worry about us, just don't make my Senior Brother Fu angry."
Well, the monk hasn't fully understood yet, so the young Taoist priest is protecting him very closely.
These conversations were conducted with his back to Funeng. Ever since Yuan Jing reminded Mu Yinghai, Mu Yinghai became normal again and no longer deliberately made Funeng jealous. Noticing this change, Funeng's mood finally brightened up a lot. He was sticky with Yuan Jing all day long, completely ignoring Mu Yinghai as if he didn't exist, which made Mu Yinghai so jealous that he almost fainted.
He is not envious, not at all. He has not yet avenged himself, so how can he have the mood to be affectionate with others?
In this way, they finally arrived at their destination, Yingtanjian. Here, there are strange peaks and steep mountains, rocks and rugged rocks, and the terrain is very dangerous. The most dangerous one is Yingtanjian. The two dangerous peaks are covered by clouds and fog all year round, and the mountain scenery cannot be seen clearly. There is a bottomless ravine between the two dangerous peaks. It is said that anyone who falls into it will never come out alive.
The purpose of the three people was very clear, which was to rush to Yingtan Stream. Although the mountain road was difficult to walk on, everyone including Mu Yinghai was not an ordinary person. Mu Yinghai was a half-demon, and his demon bloodline had long been awakened and could be transformed into a demon body. He had been living in the mountains for all these years, so such a mountain road was no problem for him.
The three of them climbed straight up to the mountain peak on the right side of Yingtan Stream. Looking down at the Stream from the peak, they could only see layers of clouds and fog. Their vision could not penetrate the clouds and fog to see the scenery below, and there was not even the sound of insects or birds chirping below. It was like a dead place.
The three of them were halfway up the mountain, which was also shrouded in mist and very humid. Yuan Jing said, "Let's stay here for now and discuss how to get down to the mountain stream."
"Okay, I'll listen to Master Yuan." Mu Yinghai had no objection.
Funeng looked around and said, "Brother Jing, have you noticed anything unusual here?"
Yuan Jingzhi nodded and said, "Yes, judging from the topography and feng shui, this should be a blessed land with mountain spirits and outstanding land. However, since entering this mountain range, the spiritual energy has become thinner as we walk towards Yingtan Gorge. When we reach the top of this mountain, the spiritual energy is even more exhausted. This is not normal, so I think this should be a man-made measure. If I am not mistaken, there should be a sealed area below, and the spiritual energy here has been drained by the seal below."
Mu Yinghai listened to their conversation with his ears perked up. His eyes flickered when he heard the word "seal". When he looked up again, he saw Yuan Jing and Funeng both looking at him, one smiling and the other raising his eyebrows in displeasure.
But in Mu Yinghai's opinion, the Taoist priest smiling in front was even more difficult to deal with. He touched his nose awkwardly and said, "Don't look at me like that. Isn't it okay for me to tell you what I know?"
Fu Neng snorted and said, "I've known for a long time that you're dishonest. Tell me, why did you follow us here?"
Yuan Jing patted Funeng's hand, and Funeng's brows immediately relaxed, which made Mu Yinghai sigh inwardly. This was a case of one willing to fight and the other willing to be beaten. However, it also made him have a better impression of Taoists and monks. Before, he thought that Taoists were like Ling Xiao, the demon Taoist, who would shout and kill when they encountered demons, and were very cold-blooded and ruthless. It turned out that there were flesh-and-blood people like Taoist Yuan Jing in the world.
Mu Yinghai looked ashamed, because he did seem to be using these two people. He said, "I have indeed heard some legends, but I am not sure. So when I heard that you two were going to Yingtanjian, I wanted to come and see if the rumors were true. These rumors are circulating among the demon tribe."
"The earliest rumor was a story my mother told me. When I was just born, my mother told me many stories to coax me, and Yingtan Stream was one of them. Later, I heard about this from other people, so I suspected that the story my mother told me might not just be a story. This Yingtan Stream might really seal a demon king."
"And the story my mother told and the other demons were not the same, but I believe that what my mother told was the true one."
"My mother said that the demon king once fell in love with a man, and that man was a Taoist priest. Because of the demon king's help, the Taoist priest's cultivation level rose rapidly. It should have been a story of a couple living together, but the Taoist priest in this story had bad intentions and deliberately took advantage of the demon king's love for him. After his cultivation level rose greatly and he got everything from the demon king, he designed a plan to unite with other Taoist priests and monks to knock the demon king into this mountain stream and seal him up."
"As for the stories told by other demon tribes, there is no story about the demon king and the human Taoist priest falling in love. It only says that the Taoist priest and monks were afraid of the demon king's strength, so they joined hands to shamelessly plot and severely injure the demon king, and finally beat him into the mountain stream."
Yuan Jing listened with great interest. He had never heard of such a thing. Although the role played by human Taoist priests in the story of Mu Yinghai's mother was not glorious at all, he was also inclined to this story. What was the strength of the demon king? That was even above the strength of his master, with the strength of refining the spirit and returning to the void. If this was not an ordinary demon, but a demon with special blood, then the strength would be doubled.
The human Taoist in the story behaved shamelessly. If humans and demons cannot coexist, they should not have taken so many good things from the demon king in the first place. He turned against the demon king after getting the benefits. No matter which race he belongs to, he is not worthy of respect.
"What is the true form of the demon king? Where did the human Taoist priest come from and what is his Taoist name?" Yuan Jing asked.
Mu Yinghai said, "The Demon King is a phoenix. My mother said that he has the blood of the mythical beast Phoenix in his body. Although it is very rare, it is also quite precious and rare. As for the human Taoist priest, his Taoist name is Qianhua. As for where he came from, my mother never mentioned it. Maybe he came from some unknown small Taoist sect. The Demon King was knocked down the mountain stream and sealed, and he could not come out again. The Taoist priest did not get any good. My mother said that the Demon King also gave the Taoist priest a palm when he fell into the mountain stream. I think the Taoist priest will not live long. Otherwise, with him leading people to suppress and seal the Demon King, his Taoist name would have spread throughout the Taoist sect."
Yuan Jing and Funeng looked at each other. Yuan Jing said, "It's strange. I've never heard Master mention such a thing. What about you, Brother Fu?"
"I haven't heard of it either. Maybe our master should know it, but it's just not time for him to tell us yet." Funeng guessed.
Yuan Jing agreed with this statement. He also had the plot as a reference. The reason why his master came to Yingtanjian at that time should not be that he was completely ignorant of the demon king sealed in Yingtanjian. Perhaps it was because he knew that he was going to deal with a demon king that he realized that he might never come back and arranged his own funeral early.
He had a new question: "Is the Taoist priest named Qianhua really dead?"
He had such a guess based on the plot. Since the plot and the original body's memory included Ling Xiao Yao Dao and the extermination of the demon in Yingtan Stream, he would inevitably connect these things together. If they were really related, could it be that the Taoist named Qian Hua was not dead at all? Of course, it is also possible that the body died, but he was reborn through another method.
Looking at Qianhua's behavior, it seems that he is more similar to the methods of Lingxiao the demon. Neither of them is a good person. It would not be surprising for Yuan Jing to say that they are the same person.
Mu Yinghai found it unbelievable. He was a half-demon and his thinking tended to be on the demon side. The Demon King was so powerful that if the Taoist had not tricked the Demon King, how could the Demon King be knocked down the mountain stream and sealed by the monks led by him? Therefore, Taoist Qianhua had no chance of surviving the Demon King's final blow.
However, Funeng stood by Yuan Jing unconditionally and nodded, saying, "Well, maybe he is not dead, and is hiding in the Taoist team and doing something shady."
Mu Yinghai almost covered his face. Is Monk Funeng worthy of the Buddha by doing this?
Maybe in his heart, Buddha is not as important as Taoist Priest Yuan Jing.
After resting halfway up the mountain, the three decided to go down and explore.
Yuan Jing had another guess in his mind. In the plot, the male and female protagonists teamed up to expose the true face of Ling Xiao's demonic path. With Mu Yinghai's current strength, it was impossible to do so. So how did he defeat Ling Xiao in just a few years? Could it be that he obtained the inheritance of the demon king in Yingtan Stream?
After these few days of contact, he doesn't have to worry that Mu Yinghai will do something to bring chaos to the world after he really obtains the Demon King's inheritance, because in the plot the male protagonist obviously falls in love with the human female protagonist, and his identity as a half-demon is very embarrassing among the demons, and it is impossible for him to lead the demons to occupy the world. Therefore, it is better for Mu Yinghai to obtain the inheritance than for the Demon King to fall into the hands of the demon Ling Xiao.
The road down the mountain stream is very difficult to walk on. Ordinary people, even those with some martial arts skills, cannot walk on it.
Funeng led the way, Yuan Jing walked in the middle, and Mu Yinghai came last. Yuan Jing and the others were not worried at all that Mu Yinghai would do anything behind them.
Soon they were trapped in a sea of fog. The mist in the sea of fog stuck to people's bodies, making them heavier and heavier. In the end, they couldn't even lift their feet.
Mu Yinghai panted and said, "This fog is too weird. If it continues like this, we will be unable to move sooner or later."
Yuan Jing took out the pills for replenishing spiritual energy and handed them to Funeng and Mu Yinghai respectively, saying, "Hold on a little longer, maybe things will get better after this period."
Mu Yinghai took the pill and swallowed it without any hesitation. The replenished spiritual power made the demonic power in his body circulate faster, slightly breaking free from the restraint of the fog on his body, and his speed really increased a little.
They replenished their spiritual energy all the way down, and it seemed like they had been walking for several days and nights. Finally, they felt relaxed. They had passed the foggy area before, but no one let down their guard. Instead, they became more vigilant. The further they went down, the more dangerous it would be.
It was pitch black below the foggy area, but there were tiny dots of fireflies that made the mountain stream look like a dream world. Suddenly, a gust of wind blew, and Fu Neng reached out and grabbed a snake. He pinched the snake's vital point, and the snake struggled desperately but could not get away.
This snake was completely different from any they had encountered outside. If it had not been caught by Funeng, they would not have been able to see any trace of the snake with their naked eyes. Only now did they realize that it was able to hide its body in the surrounding environment.
"This snake is poisonous, very poisonous." Yuan Jing said after carefully examining it.
Funeng simply broke the snake's neck and threw it aside, but there was a rustling sound all around immediately, which made Mu Yinghai's scalp tingle. He looked towards the ground and saw insects that came out from nowhere and crawled onto the snake's body. In a blink of an eye, they had gnawed the venomous snake until not even a bone was left.
Mu Yinghai got goosebumps all over his body. Those bugs wanted to crawl towards them, but Yuan Jing exerted his physical and spiritual power, and those bugs were knocked away. They didn't dare to crawl towards them again, and retreated back into the grass to lie dormant, waiting for the next prey to appear.
The three of them left this place and walked forward carefully. Yuan Jing said, "This is still a place without spiritual energy. If there is no way to replenish spiritual energy, the physical energy will have been exhausted when coming down from above. It will be difficult to deal with any danger below."
