Chapter 406: Beating the Old and Weak, and Promising Herself
The monks of Xiufeng Temple seemed to be used to it, and did not shy away from eating meat, drinking wine, and cleaning up the mess.
King Shicheng was also drunk, and was supported by the abbot and went into the temple to rest.
The abbot muttered, "Master, you should drink less. It's easy to break the precepts, but it's hard to keep them. It's okay for today's birthday, but you should still exercise some restraint on ordinary days."
King Shicheng smiled and said, "Eat when you should, drink when you should, but don't be stubborn, don't be stubborn."
The abbot complained, "You are always right. What would happen if the pilgrims saw it?"
The King of Shicheng said, "Just clean up carefully, hide the leftovers carefully, and feed them to the livestock. As long as no one sees me, no one will know I've been drinking."
The abbot chanted "Amitabha" and said, "Others didn't see it, but I did."
The King of Shicheng said, "Okay, stop nagging me and come and help me with my homework."
The abbot then said nothing and went to the meditation room to chant scriptures with King Shicheng.
The sound of the wooden fish faded into the night and gradually became inaudible.
Dark clouds gathered over Taihu Lake.
After returning from Lingyan Mountain at the age of three thousand, he rode the wind and rain into Taihu Lake.
There is no supernatural phenomenon that wind and rain will always accompany the old turtle when he travels, and the reason he makes such a big fuss is just for show.
On the contrary, the white dragon of the White Elephant Dragon, because it is a species of dragon, has some supernatural powers accompanied by wind and rain, but it is not very powerful and is just showing off.
But when they arrived at Taihu Lake, the sky was dark, with no stars or moon, only layers of dark clouds, which were even worse than the wind and clouds he had brought.
The old turtle looked at the sky and said, "Why did the weather change? It wasn't me who did it, was it?"
He dispersed the magic, and the sky was still gloomy. Then he said to himself in a self-deprecating tone, "It really wasn't me who did it."
A breeze blew over the lake, and dense raindrops hit the surface, creating a mist over Taihu Lake.
The old turtle blew a breath and blocked the rain from his body. The mist surrounded him, making it difficult for him to see the things outside clearly, and he could not see the dark clouds in the sky that kept pressing down, as if a giant hand was reaching down from the sky.
When the hand reached out and stared at him, everything around him was pitch black. The old man with blurry eyes was frightened to the point of trembling with fear: "Which master is this——"
Before he finished speaking, the giant hand formed from dark clouds had already pressed him down and slammed him hard towards Taihu Lake.
Normally, it was easy for the Three Thousand Years Old to cross the water and make waves, but at this moment, the water of Taihu Lake seemed like solidified stone and could not be moved. He only had time to retract his hands, feet and neck, and a green light curtain appeared on his body, which was composed of nine palaces like a tortoise shell, and then he was knocked into Taihu Lake by the giant hand.
It was as if the mountains and the earth were splitting apart, and the water in Taihu Lake collapsed, bursting out endless splashes and making a sound like muffled thunder.
The light curtain of the Three Thousand Years Old shattered like a bubble, and the Three Thousand Years Old crashed into Taihu Lake, being swept by layers of huge waves, and everything in front of him went dark.
The giant hand formed from the dark clouds gathered together and turned into the appearance of a thunder officer.
He exhaled and retracted his energy, and the violent Taihu Lake turned into gentleness again. Amidst the surging waves, an old turtle emerged, retreating into its shell.
The Thunder Officer vented his anger and felt pleased at the moment. He sneered and reached into the turtle shell to rummage around. Avoiding the sleeve pouch, he touched a hard object. He took it out and saw that it was indeed the red clam.
"Tsk, old man, who is the poor fellow now?"
The black dragon touched the red clam, exhaled air from its nostrils, and then, feeling very proud, it turned into a black cloud and merged into the sky of Taihu Lake, disappearing in a moment.
When the black dragon disappeared, the old turtle transformed into a three-thousand-year-old human, his face covered in tears as he said, "Damn it! Damn it! This damned black fellow took advantage of my old age and frailty and stole my treasure."
"My baby!"
The Three Thousand Year Old man beat his chest and stamped his feet, "Beating the old and weak, robbing treasures, is there still law and justice?"
The old turtle wiped his tears and dived into the Taihu Lake, and soon escaped.
Gong Mengbi was practicing magic in the Golden Palace of Shenjing Palace.
Although he has transformed into a white fox now, he practices the Moon-Running Method by sending his Dan Qi towards the bright moon, practicing every day without a moment's rest.
The elixir energy floated in the sky, shining with the bright moon, and accompanied by thousands of dragons. Red and white clouds rose and fell, dotted with the lights and fireworks of the Shenjing Palace.
The black cloud of the Thunder Officer landed in front of the Golden Palace and transformed into a young man in black clothes and white face.
He looked up at the moon-like Dan Qi, and a look of obsession gradually appeared in his eyes.
Although he was holding the red clam in his hand and already had a peerless gem, it pales in comparison to the elixir of the Great Immortal Jin Ting.
Dragons are obsessed with pearls, not just those in the water, but also those on land and in the sky.
Cai Leiguan admired the precious pearl in the sky and was already thinking about how he could take away Jin Ting Daxian's inner elixir when he escaped.
But it was impossible now, he could only reluctantly look away and knock on the door of the Golden Palace.
Gong Mengbi opened the door, his white hair loose, not the demeanor for meeting guests.
He seemed to care a lot about pomp and ceremony, but when he didn't care about ceremony, it was somehow reasonable.
The mine officer presented the red clam without much reluctance or heartache at this moment.
He was plotting a bigger pearl, and the one in front of him was not as attractive.
Gong Mengbi didn't answer, but just said, "Follow me."
He took the mine collector to the clear spring of West Dongting Mountain and said, "Throw it in."
The thunder officer threw the red clam into the spring water. After just a moment, the closed clam shell opened again and continued to swallow the spring water, even showing a tendency to drink it all up in one breath.
But it was just a trend. The water level of the spring dropped a bit, and then rose again. The red clams, which had drunk enough water, finally opened their mouths completely, revealing the dazzling red pearls inside.
Ripples of fire appeared in the water, and the red light illuminated half of the forest.
The pearl danced and transformed into a girl with a sad face. She looked at Gong Mengbi timidly and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Your Majesty."
Gong Mengbi said, "Stand up and talk."
The girl stood up, lowered her head, and her dark hair fell down softly, making the black dragon feel itchy.
The girl was wearing black clothes, which contrasted with her snow-white skin, making her look as if she was glowing.
Gong Mengbi narrowed his eyes and stretched out his hand to grab. The black clothes on the girl were like sticky syrup, pulling out dozens of thick and thin silk threads.
In the end, all the syrup gathered in Gong Mengbi's hands. Looking at the girl again, she had an expression of surprise.
The black robe she was wearing disappeared, replaced by a red dress, which made her look even more brilliant.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for rescuing me."
Tears welled up in the girl's eyes as she spoke, "Ever since I left my mother, my soul has been imprisoned in this demon-catching net, deprived of food and water, and stripped of my strength. I've been tossed around many times, held captive by several people. Now, thanks to the king's rescue, I've finally been free."
"Your Majesty, I have no way to repay your kindness. I am willing to pledge my life to you. I beg for your mercy."
