Chapter 280
What Fu Neng was talking about was the love-hate entanglement between the demon king Feng Xiao and the bitch Qianhua. The bitch Qianhua had ulterior motives and was treacherous. Feng Xiao turned from love to hate, and the man and the demon loved and killed each other. After hundreds of years of entanglement, the smoke of war between them was ignited again.
Don't be fooled by the fact that some Taoists and monks appear serious on a daily basis. The nature of gossip does not only apply to the general public, but monks are also not excluded. Some of them are even more gossipy than ordinary people, especially when this matter involves Taoists.
Gradually, some younger Taoists and monks gathered around Funeng, and even the older ones pricked up their ears to listen to what was going on.
After hearing this story, the younger one was furious: "No wonder she called Qianhua a bitch, she is indeed a bitch, so despicable. Don't say that we are from the Taoist sect. Although we don't usually associate with mountain spirits and ghosts, it doesn't mean that we can deceive them, take the benefits from them and then kick them away. Ugh! This person's character is even more despicable than those deceiving mountain spirits and ghosts!"
"That's right. After deceiving him, he brought people to kill him and sealed him for hundreds of years. This monster is too pitiful. My god, I actually sympathize with a monster. Who can blame that stinky Taoist for being so inhumane?"
"No, were those monks so easy to deceive? They just followed that bitch's command to kill the demon without any explanation?"
"By the way, who is that demon? The demon king in the sky just now was also calling Qianhua a bitch. Who is Qianhua a bitch?"
This person kept calling Qianhua a bitch, filled with righteous indignation. After he finished speaking, he suddenly realized that the noise around him had weakened. The Taoist priest was confused and scratched his head and asked, "What's wrong with you? Do you agree with what that Qianhua bitch did? As a Taoist priest, I am ashamed to be associated with this Qianhua bitch."
"Stop talking," another Taoist from the same sect tugged at his sleeve, and then whispered to Funeng, "The demon you are talking about is not the demon king who came to the capital today, right? He has been sealed for hundreds of years and has just been freed from the seal. And that bitch Qianhua, can't be..." The voice became weaker and weaker, "It's the Taoist Lingxiao, right?"
"How is it possible?" The Taoist priest screamed, "Master Ling Xiao is a role model for our Taoist sect. How could he be such a shameless person? He can't be that bitch Qian Hua!"
"Puff!" The sound was so loud that Ling Xiao, who was fighting, heard it. It stimulated the spiritual power in his body to go astray and he vomited blood on the spot.
The elderly Taoists and monks looked at each other in bewilderment. In fact, when Funeng was telling the story, they had vaguely guessed that it was about the grudge between the Demon King and Taoist Lingxiao, but they never expected that this Lingxiao was the same person as Taoist Qianhua from hundreds of years ago.
They were so sure because they knew that with the Demon King's cultivation level, the possibility of mistaking someone was too low. Moreover, when the Demon King appeared, he kept calling Qianhua a bitch and beating Taoist Lingxiao, so Qianhua must be Lingxiao. But if they were really the same person, then regarding the seal incident hundreds of years ago, did Taoist Qianhua really deceive everyone?
Some Taoist and Buddhist sects have left records in the hope that future generations will beware of the sealed demon king, in case the demon king breaks free from the seal and escapes one day to wreak havoc on the people. They also mentioned a few words about why the demon king was sealed. Some Taoist and Buddhist sects even passed it down from generation to generation through the oral tradition of their leaders, but none of them mentioned that the two were originally a pair of Taoist companions. Although it sounds like Taoist Qianhua deceived the demon king, they were still a pair of Taoist companions.
Although the younger generation was a little confused, what he said was not wrong. If the story was not nonsense, then Taoist Qianhua did deceive the Demon King first, and then wanted to kill him. So, is it wrong for the Demon King to come out and seek revenge on the bitch Qianhua?
Even those who believe that humans and demons cannot coexist shamelessly say that Taoist Qianhua is not wrong.
Now seeing Ling Xiao being provoked to the point of vomiting blood, the old men all understood that Ling Xiao was Qian Hua, but how did he change his body and survive? Did he take over someone else's body? This frightened them. All such practices were inclined towards evil magic, but Ling Xiao could be considered a leader of the righteous path.
The younger Taoist priests and monks asked Funeng to confirm whether what he said was about the matter between the Demon King and Taoist Lingxiao. At this time, Funeng became mysterious: "I am just telling a story I heard. I don't know what it is. Why don't you ask the Demon King?"
Go! Do they dare to ask the Demon King? The Demon King is at the top of the cultivation world. If they can’t think straight, they will go to death. The Demon King can beat them into pulp with one palm.
Soon, the story of the possible love-hate relationship between the Demon King and Taoist Ling Xiao spread.
In the palace, the old emperor, who neglected state affairs and immersed himself in seeking the truth and becoming an immortal, was meditating when the eunuch came in with his pants down and pissing his pants: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, Your Majesty, something is wrong..."
The chief eunuch slapped him and said, "Who is wrong? You are talking nonsense. Why don't you drag him away?"
"I was wrong, Your Majesty. It's the Imperial Master Ling Xiao who is in trouble. He's fighting with someone, no, a monster. The fight is going on in chaos on the mountain outside the city."
The old emperor was also unhappy at first. What did he mean by "something bad happened to him?" But when he heard that the Imperial Master was attacked by a monster, he could no longer sit there. He relied on the Imperial Master very much and said quickly, "Quick, pass on my order and quickly send the Imperial Guards to help the Imperial Master eliminate the monster!"
In the eyes of the old emperor, monsters and ghosts should not exist. Their existence would affect the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty and his attainment of immortality, because they would take away the fortune of the Great Zhou Dynasty and himself as the emperor.
"Yes, I will convey the emperor's order right away." The eunuch immediately walked out again.
The old emperor walked around the palace and asked the chief eunuch Li Fu, "Do you think the imperial teacher will be in trouble?"
Li Fu certainly wouldn't say anything was wrong, he shook his head and said: "The Imperial Master protects our Great Zhou court and your majesty, no evil demons can get close to it. With the Imperial Master here, a mere monster is nothing to be afraid of."
"Well said!" The old emperor also thought so. "Let's go to the Temple of Heaven. I want to watch the battle and see how my Imperial Master exorcises the demon. Haha!"
What could Li Fu do? He could only accompany the old emperor to watch the battle. Anyway, the imperial master's palace was some distance away from here, so it was impossible for it to affect this side.
As soon as the old emperor made a move, the princes who received the news also went out one after another to express their support for the imperial master with their actions, because the imperial master played a very important role in their ability to ascend to the throne. As long as the imperial master stood on their side, the old emperor would definitely listen. Unfortunately, the imperial master was unmoved. Although they also kept some Taoist priests and monks in private, none of them could compare to the imperial master.
These people came to the high Temple of Heaven and looked towards the Taoist Palace in the distance. They could vaguely see a giant bird flying in the sky attacking the Taoist Palace below, and from time to time people would ride fast horses into the palace to deliver news.
"Your Majesty, many parts of the Taoist Palace have been destroyed, but the Imperial Master is fine for now. Something is protecting the Imperial Master, and the demon bird cannot get close to him."
"Good! Great! Keep exploring and report back."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
The princes looked at each other in bewilderment. The bird in the sky was no ordinary bird. When had the Imperial Master ever gotten into trouble with such a bird? It would be very impressive if they could tame such a bird and take it out. However, this giant bird was too ferocious. Even from such a distance, they could feel its power.
The old emperor was not worried at all. He was the true dragon emperor and the imperial teacher appointed by the true dragon emperor. How could he be defeated by a demon bird?
The Demon King was a little anxious. Qianhua, that bitch, was hiding inside like a coward and refusing to come out. He made full use of the terrain and miscellaneous knowledge, drawing spiritual energy from the earth and the spiritual veins to supply the operation of the formation. As long as he stayed inside the protective shield, Feng Xiao would not be able to break through and he would be invincible.
At this time, the Taoist priests and monks who usually stood on Ling Xiao's side saw this, and after communicating with each other, they decided to jump out and stand on Ling Xiao's side, and help him to eradicate the demon king first. It was just a story. How could a little monk know what happened hundreds of years ago? Even if Ling Xiao was wrong, the demon king could not be allowed to exist, because his strength was too strong. If Ling Xiao could not resist, the Taoist and Buddhist sects would surely face a catastrophe.
These people jumped out together and attacked the demon king in the air. Some younger Taoists and monks became anxious. It was obvious that Taoist Lingxiao was Qianhua's bitch. How could the elders deal with the demon king without knowing the truth?
Mu Yinghai was secretly anxious, he also realized that if the war continued for a long time, it would be disadvantageous to the Demon King. He didn't expect that the story that Fu Neng told did not play much of a role, and those who should support it would still support Ling Xiao the demon.
In fact, Yuan Jing and Funeng could understand the thoughts of these Taoists and monks. Besides, not everyone was on Ling Xiao's side. They needed to think carefully before deciding on their position.
"What should we do now?" Funeng whispered to Yuan Jing, "That guy has been hiding in his tortoise shell and won't come out. The demon king can't do anything to him. As expected, this is a Taoist temple that has been run for many years. He must have set up a very tight defense and it won't be easy to attack."
Yuan Jing's mind was working quickly. He suddenly had an idea. It might be worth a try.
"I have a way that may be able to help the Demon King, but then we will be exposed. But it doesn't matter. I believe the Demon King will not sit idly by and watch us die. Let's travel around the world with the Demon King, and then send a letter to Master, asking him not to leave Qingcheng Taoist Temple." Yuan Jing said with bright eyes, seeming to be looking forward to such a day.
Funeng smiled and said, "If you are not afraid, why should I be afraid? I will wander with you then."
"And me." Mu Yinghai said unwillingly.
Fu Nengqi: "What does it have to do with you? Get out of here!"
Mu Yinghai felt aggrieved, Yuan Jing burst out laughing, grabbed Funeng's arm and rushed to the top of the hill.
"Hey, you two come back quickly, it's dangerous over there!" The officers who were blocking the road saw two half-grown Taoist monks running in and shouted hurriedly. Not only did they not call them back, but a third person chased them in. It was obvious that he was not an ordinary person, otherwise how could he have broken through the blockade of these officers and soldiers?
"Who is that?" Mrs. Jiang, who was worried, refused to go back and waited outside. When Yuan Jing jumped out and rushed to the Taoist Palace, the face flashed in front of her eyes. Mrs. Jiang felt that her eyes were dazzled. Why did she see someone who had already gone to the underworld?
No, that was a young man dressed as a Taoist priest. He couldn't be that bitch Wen. Could it be that... Mrs. Jiang suddenly thought of the child she had long forgotten about. Could it be that the child she abandoned actually survived?
Mrs. Jiang held the handkerchief in her hand, but her fingernails were digging into the flesh of her palm, but she didn't feel any pain at all.
"Go and ask someone what the name of the Taoist priest who just passed by is and where he came from."
"Yes, ma'am, I'll ask someone right away."
Someone saw the three youngsters running up there and quickly scolded them, "What are you doing here? You're just causing trouble for others. Why don't you get down the mountain quickly?"
The three of them didn't care. How could these people have the time to throw them down the mountain? Funeng and Mu Yinghai protected Yuan Jing on the left and right. Yuan Jing quickly used his heavenly eyes to check the situation here, especially the flow changes of air.
Ling Xiao, who was supporting the formation and the defense shield, suddenly saw Yuan Jing and the other two running down the mountain. For some reason, his eyes fell on Yuan Jing. His brows twitched and he had a bad feeling. When Yuan Jing used his heavenly eyes to watch, Ling Xiao suddenly understood that this was a person who was born with a pair of heavenly eyes. Oh no, isn't this little Taoist priest on the side of Taoism?
"Who is that? What are they doing here? Throw them off the mountain quickly!" Ling Xiao shouted anxiously inside the protective shield, wanting to use other people to throw the three juniors off the mountain.
However, the Demon King intensified his attacks at this time, leaving the Taoists and monks unable to fight. Thinking that Yuan Jing could break the seal formation in Yingtan Gorge, there would definitely be no problem here.
As expected, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. He and the Taoist priest Yuan Jing cooperated once and they could cooperate again.
"Hurry, take me up there!" Yuan Jing saw the whole situation clearly and said hurriedly to Funeng and Mu Yinghai.
Each of them grabbed one of Yuan Jing's arms and flew him into the air. The blessing energy could not last long, but Mu Yinghai was better and could hold on longer, without transforming into a demon body.
Yuan Jing, who had risen into the air, suddenly had a bow and a peach wood sword in his hands. He used the peach wood sword as an arrow and put it on the bow, pulled the string, and aimed at a position below.
Those Taoists and monks realized something was wrong. Why were they aiming at the Taoist Palace below instead of the Demon King in the sky?
"What are you doing? Get out of here immediately, or else don't blame us for being ruthless!"
Yuan Jing's mind moved, a ray of golden light fell on the peach wood sword, shoot!
“Stop them now!”
The Demon King attacked together with the Taoists and monks, but no one could stop the peach wood sword. The peach wood sword went straight into a point of the defense shield below. The peach wood sword, which seemed to have no threat, went straight down and then burst out with a dazzling light. When everyone realized what the light was, they were shocked.
Merit! It was actually merit!
Someone actually used merit to attack, so how could they resist and stop it? That was merit!
Who on earth is this guy, so extravagant that he can use merits like this?
In an instant, the mountains collapsed and the earth cracked.
