Chapter 135: Fire Dragon Suffers Disaster
Fire Dragon Immortal looked at Gong Mengbi and said, "You, the fox fairy, do you recognize me?"
Gong Mengbi said respectfully, "A few months ago, when my mansion was completed, I had a chance encounter with your two disciples. I heard them speak of your alchemy at the Mountain Guarding Yujing. I admire you greatly, but I've never had the chance to meet you. I never expected to meet you here today."
True Man Huolong said, "So you are a disciple of the Sky Fox Academy. I heard you mentioned by my disciple last time."
Gong Mengbi breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists Meng and Wen never told me that the statue in the small holy temple was actually you."
Fire Dragon Immortal sighed, "I once subdued a demon here and was encountered by the villagers, so I built this temple. However, my sect doesn't practice incense, so I wanted to abandon it, but who knew..."
He looked at Xiang Qian, and both Gong Mengbi and Xiang Qian knew what happened later.
"It turns out that Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Wen came here to check out the small holy temple." Gong Mengbi understood the whole story.
Think about it, the Yaksha ghost is not usurping the throne, but just acting in the name of the little saint, protecting the reputation of the little saint, and not even coveting the incense offered to the little saint.
It is not difficult to understand why Master Huolong and his apprentice did not kill the monster even though they knew that it was acting in their name, but instead let it go.
This was originally the Yaksha ghost's own principle, but in the current situation, it can only be said that good deeds will be rewarded and fools will have good fortune.
The Yaksha demon's principles saved him from danger, while the Fire Dragon Master's principles allowed him to escape a disaster unintentionally.
Seeing the miserable state of the statue where Fire Dragon's spirit resided, and hearing his previous words, Gong Mengbi couldn't help but ask, "Excuse my disrespect, but why did Senior Fire Dragon come here?"
This question brought Master Huolong's thoughts back to the previous day.
True Man Huolong said, "This is a long story."
The six yin disappear and one yang is born. The winter solstice is an important day for sacrifice.
All the ambitions of the new emperor after he ascended the throne were wasted in the treacherous situation in the imperial city. First, there was the endless harm caused by witchcraft in the harem, and then there was the unclear death of old ministers.
The entire imperial city was shrouded in an unclear and depressing atmosphere. Gong Mengbi, who was far away in the south, could not feel it, but True Man Huolong, who was enshrined in the Hongfa Tower, could feel the strange atmosphere of panic.
The new emperor offered sacrifices to heaven during the winter solstice and reported on his work. Ye Tianshi wanted to use this opportunity to gather all the gods, eliminate evil spirits, and clear the heavy and gloomy atmosphere in the imperial capital.
One of the most important points is the death of the old emperor.
Ye Tianshi wanted to preside over the winter solstice ceremony, so he asked Huolong Zhenren to go to the imperial tomb with the emperor's festival to find out the truth.
Unexpectedly, Master Huolong was ambushed in the imperial mausoleum. The ambushers used the dragon energy of the imperial mausoleum to obscure the secrets of heaven, thus interfering with Master Huolong's magic, and he did not anticipate the impending disaster.
True Man Huolong was defeated, his physical body was cut off, and his soul was suppressed in the Dharma Realm. If he had not used the incense from the small holy temple as a lamp to break through the Dharma Realm and escape with his soul, who knows what the outcome would have been.
There are so many key points involved, and the complexity of the things and people involved, that it cannot be explained in a few words.
Gong Mengbi only understood a little bit of what he said and asked, "The Immortal is profound in Taoism and has great magical powers. Who can harm him?"
True Man Huolong said, "The one facing me is the Yin-Yang Dharma King. As for the two behind him, they are hiding their heads and showing their tails. They are using the Yin-Yang Dharma King to fight me. I cannot defeat him and will naturally lose."
True Man Huolong looked outside the small holy temple with worry, "Calamity, calamity."
"After my defeat, Master Ye will have a hard time from now on."
Gong Mengbi didn't understand the situation and couldn't express his opinion, let alone say any words of comfort.
However, the title of Yin Yang Dharma King was not new to him. "Yin Yang Dharma King, I heard that he summoned his disciples to the capital at the beginning of the year. I wonder what kind of disturbances he has stirred up in the imperial capital. Speaking of which, I even killed one of his disciples. I'm afraid I'll have to meet him sooner or later."
True Man Huolong said, "Those who follow the evil ways, misinterpret the meaning of the scriptures, and follow the devilish ways, also call themselves Dharma Kings."
Gong Mengbi couldn't judge, so he could only return to Fire Dragon Immortal's own affairs: "I'm afraid that entrusting the Immortal's spirit to the small statue is not a long-term solution. Is there anything I can do?"
True Man Huolong looked at Gong Mengbi, as if wondering whether he could trust him, but the pure and spiritual aura from Gong Mengbi convinced him.
He said, "I'm distracted and seriously injured right now. No outside help is available, so I have to heal myself. But if you're willing to help, I have something I'd like to ask you to do."
Gong Mengbi said solemnly, "Please speak."
True Man Huolong said, "Before I set out for the Imperial Mausoleum, although I calculated no signs, I still instructed my two disciples to retreat immediately if anything unexpected happened, just in case. My defeat at the Imperial Mausoleum would have caused enough commotion that they should head to Zhenshan to seek refuge with Master Yuanming."
"If I died, they might be safe, but I escaped. In order to find my whereabouts, they must hunt down my two disciples. I would like to ask you to go north to meet them and send them safely to Zhenshan."
Gong Mengbi said seriously, "Although we have only met once, Fellow Daoist Meng and Fellow Daoist Wen are still my friends. I will definitely do my best."
The Yaksha ghost beside him said, "I have occupied the small holy temple for so long. Now that you, the real master, are in trouble, it is time for me to repay you. I will go too."
True Man Huolong glanced at Yaksha Ghost and sighed, "You don't owe me anything... On the contrary, I owe you a life-saving grace."
The Yaksha ghost quickly waved his hands, feeling ashamed.
True Man Fire Dragon coughed, and he stretched out two flying dragons, which swam around with their fangs and claws bared, and landed in front of Gong Mengbi and Yaksha Ghost, turning into two dragon balls.
"Your magic power is still weak, and I'm afraid you can't resist the invading enemy. These two dragon balls are transformed from my Supreme Dragon Transformation Method. You can use them to sacrifice and refine magical instruments, which should be able to help you."
The Yaksha ghost had no magic weapon but a steel fork, and he immediately placed the dragon ball on the steel fork.
The magic power of Master Fire Dragon transformed into a flying dragon, living in the steel fork. In just a moment, the steel fork seemed to have grown scales, and then it completely retracted and returned to its plain appearance.
Gong Mengbi pondered for a moment. His magic tools included an umbrella equipped with the form-concealing technique, a small golden furnace equipped with the illusion technique, and an Eight Wind Bottle equipped with the Eight Wind Mantra.
The Eight Wind Bottle naturally does not need the magical power of Fire Dragon Immortal, and it is not suitable.
If you want to kill people, use a sword.
He took out an empty box from his sleeve, revealing two small swords, one red and one white, as big as willow leaves.
True Man Huolong immediately looked over and exclaimed, "The Yin-Yang Swords... did you get them from the Yin-Yang Dharma King's disciple?"
Gong Mengbi nodded and said, "I've only practiced it briefly. Because I lack the sword techniques, I haven't used it yet."
True Man Huolong watched him refine the dragon ball in the Yin-Yang swords. Under the magic power of Tai Shang Hualong, the two flying swords, one Yin and one Yang, turned into two jade dragons, one red and one white, with fangs and claws bared, and fell into the box again.
