Chapter 3: The Falling Futon
I don't want it
Kong Shuang closed her eyes and suppressed the anger in her heart. Once her mind became clear, she felt extremely regretful. She wondered how she could have been so possessed by the devil and dared to say such disrespectful words to the Taoist ancestor. Fortunately, someone stopped her.
Who is helping me?
Kong Shuang looked around, ruled out the possibility of Hong Yun, looked at the cultivator behind her, and saw her good friend, Chang Xi from Taiyin Star, in the crowd. Chang Xi nodded to her gently.
Next to her was her sister, Xihe, the Queen of Heaven in the later demon clan heaven.
It's not these two people either.
Kong Shuang withdrew her gaze and looked at Zhunti again. When her eyes fell on the person next to her, she opened her mouth in surprise. She came with anger and her mind was fully focused on getting Zhunti to return to the cushion. She didn't notice that the person on his left was the man in red who had misled her with his beauty some time ago.
He was also sitting on the futon? Kong Shuang was puzzled and looked at the people beside him. She knew these two people, Taiqing Laozi and Yuqing Yuanshi, whom she had just met not long ago. So this person's identity must be...
Kong Shuang felt a little regretful in his heart, and his eyes gradually became complicated. It turned out to be Shangqing Tongtian, another unlucky guy.
Seeing her gaze, Tongtian curled the corners of his mouth.
Kong Shuang was now certain that the person who had secretly helped him just now was him.
She shifted her attention to Zhunti. Since Daozu didn't allow her to snatch Zhunti's cushion, she couldn't let Zhunti get it so easily.
Resisting his disgust for Zhunti, Kong Shuang clenched his fists and for the first time in his life, he said to Zhunti in a friendly manner, "Daoyou Zhunti, I'll give you the cushion."
Zhunti suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked at Kong Shuang with a look of surprise. This was the first time Kong Shuang looked good to him. He had been trying to save Kong Shuang and send her to the West for many years. He had tried all kinds of methods, but she had escaped every time. Now that she looked good to him, did it mean that this could be accomplished?
Happiness comes too suddenly.
He tentatively asked, "Fellow Daoist Kong Shuang, after listening to my teachings, why don't you come to my west and stay as a guest?"
Kong Shuang's face darkened, and he clenched and unclenched his fists hidden under his sleeves, but he still couldn't help but say, "Get out!"
Zhunti finally breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer angry. He thought to himself that this was the real Kong Shuang and he had not been possessed by anyone else.
Seeing this scene, Tongtian laughed out loud without any hesitation.
Yuanshi glanced at him again and told him not to get involved.
Kong Shuang cleared his throat, pulled Hongyun in front of him, and continued, "But now that Hongyun has given you his cushion, doesn't Fellow Zhunti have any thanks?"
A thank you gift? Zhunti curled his lips. He already owed Hongyun a huge karma that he could never repay, so he had calculated countless ways to kill Hongyun. This was a thank you gift.
He certainly couldn't tell his true thoughts, so Zhunti said vaguely: "My Western Region is poor, I'm afraid I can't bring anything out."
Kong Shuang sneered, with a half-smile: "The West is barren, Daoist fellow owes Hongyun karma and doesn't want to repay it!"
The monks in the hall were all paying close attention to this side. When they heard Kong Shuang's words, they immediately began to whisper to each other.
Cultivation emphasizes cause and effect. Not wanting to repay cause and effect means killing the other party. Once the other party dies, the cause and effect will naturally be resolved. Zhunti's behavior is really vicious.
At this time, Zhunti was not yet the Zhunti Saint of later generations whose face was as thick as Mount Buzhou. This time, Kong Shuang had touched his mind, and after hearing the whispers of the monks, his face turned red and he hurriedly retorted: "You are talking nonsense!"
However, the monks had already remembered his shameless act of snatching the cushion, so his current argument was really not convincing at all.
Hong Yun was not stupid. He immediately thought of the consequences for himself and his face turned cold.
There were many people who secretly cursed Zhunti for his viciousness in their hearts, but they were all slandering him in their hearts. Only Yuanshi, who watched this farce coldly, took actual action.
Now the seat on the cushion on the field is that Zhunti is ranked fourth, to his left is Sanqing, and next to him is Tongtian.
Yuanshi believed that the Three Pure Ones were the orthodox descendants of Pangu's father god, and he despised this kind of evil mentality the most. He immediately pulled Tongtian aside with great disgust, distanced him from Zhunti, and warned his brother, "Stop associating with such clowns!"
Although the sound was not loud, it was loud enough for people to hear clearly. Zhunti's face burned even redder and spread directly to the top of his head. The originally smooth and shiny top of his head also turned red, which was funny.
This is not the funniest thing. To the right of Zhunti is Kunpeng who lives in the North Sea. When he saw Yuanshi pulling his brother, he hurriedly and carefully moved to the other side towards Nuwa, for fear of being contaminated by Zhunti.
Kong Shuang grinned unceremoniously and laughed out loud. He had thought Yuanshi was arrogant and looked down on everyone, but now he found that he had some cute qualities.
Zhunti was so angry that he couldn't help but glare at Yuanshi. Now Yuanshi had become the most hated person in his heart. Originally, this position belonged to Kong Shuang.
Yuanshi didn't even glance at him.
Zhunti looked at his senior brother Jie Yin for help again.
Jie Yin sighed deeply. He was already filled with bitterness and hatred, and now his bitterness was even more apparent. He clasped his hands together and said to Kong Kong: "Fellow Daoist, you have wronged Zhunti. The West is truly barren, incomparable to the East. There is really nothing good there."
After these words were spoken, the monks in the East began to have a better impression of Jie Yin. Jie Yin was right. They in the East were better than the West.
Although Zhunti was vicious, he was easy to deal with. Jieyin was more cunning and treacherous. Kong Shuang rolled his eyes, knowing that he would not get anything good from the two of them, so he simply said:
"Even if I have wronged Fellow Daoist Zhunti, in this case, to prove Fellow Daoist Zhunti's innocence, why don't you swear an oath to protect Hongyun's safety for the rest of his life, and this matter will be settled."
This is not a loss at all, as Zhunti will become a saint in the future, and Hongyun can be said to have gained a saint bodyguard.
Doesn't that mean he can't kill Hongyun and has to be his bodyguard for the rest of his life? Zhunti curled his lips and didn't want to agree, but received a look from Jieyin: If you don't agree, how are you and I going to survive in the East in the future?
Zhunti could only swallow his complaints and make a vow obediently. A thunder sounded in the sky, which meant that Zhunti's vow was recognized by the Heavenly Dao. He only felt that there was an extra layer of cause and effect on his body.
The instigator was Kong Shuang. He couldn't help but glare at her hatefully. Sooner or later, he would subdue her as his mount and avenge today's humiliation.
Kong Shuang didn't even bother to look at him. He just glanced at the cushion under him with heartache. How could such a good opportunity to become a saint be so easily lost to him?
Seeing Kong Shuang's reluctance to part with the cushion, Tongtian concluded in his heart that she must have felt that the person sitting on the cushion must have a great opportunity, so she valued the cushion so much.
Thinking of this, Tongtian's mind moved, and he sent another divine thought to Haotian and Yaochi, the boys leading the way outside the temple.
Haotian and Yaochi are boys enlightened by the Taoist master to serve in the Zixiao Palace. Their prototypes are two pieces of jade on Mount Kunlun.
After receiving the message from Tongtian, a little girl with two buns on her head came in the door, holding a cushion in her arms. When she saw Kong Shuang, she put the cushion in her arms.
Kong Shuang inexplicably put away the cushion, and before she could ask anything, Yao Chi ran out again as if she knew what she was going to ask.
Some monks began to whisper again. No wonder Kong Shuang was so arrogant. It turned out that he had someone in Zixiao Palace.
Zhunti and Jie Yin couldn't help but look at her with a little more fear. Zhunti began to feel conflicted. Could it be that Kong Shuang still had a relationship with Daozu? Should he give up the idea of ferrying Kong Shuang to the West and establish a good relationship with Kong Shuang?
Tongtian's move was concealed from the cultivators present, but not from his two brothers. The old man said nothing, but he saw that his younger brother probably guessed that Jie Yin Zhunti would target Kong Shuang all the time in the future, and he wanted to use the name of Zixiao Palace to help Kong Shuang.
Yuanshi's face darkened. He looked at the footstools. To be honest, Kong Shuang's footstools were very good, but they could not escape the evaluation of being born from an egg. He immediately said with disdain: "How can a monster born from an egg be worthy of sitting with us?"
These words were actually spoken to Tongtian, and the person he was talking to was Kong Shuang.
But at this moment there was a farce going on in the hall. Zhunti got the cushion, but Jie Yin did not. The two of them turned their attention to Kunpeng. The Three Pure Ones were not easy to mess with. Nuwa was a female cultivator and had an older brother to protect her. If they tried to snatch Nuwa's cushion, the fierce Eastern cultivators would probably rush over.
Kunpeng, who was alone, was in trouble and was being threatened by the two men.
As soon as Yuanshi said this, Kunpeng, Nuwa and Fuxi, who were all from the demon clan, immediately looked unhappy.
Many of the cultivators are also from the demon clan. Not to mention others, those with the strength of Daluo Jinxian include the Golden Crow brothers from the Sun Star, the Jade Rabbit sisters from the Moon Star, Bai Ze from the Qilin clan, Minghe who lives in the Blood Sea, and Kong Shuang who is holding a cushion.
He almost offended half of the hall, but because of his own strong strength, everyone dared not speak out.
Kong Shuang knew that she was being talked about, and she also knew the intention of Daozu giving her a cushion:
Without her intervention, the subsequent story would have developed like this: Hongyun gave the cushion to Zhunti, and Jieyin snatched the cushion from Kunpeng. When Hongjun gave the third sermon in Zixiao Palace, he would distribute the primordial purple energy. Except for the Three Pure Ones, Nuwa, and the two Western saints, the last ray of primordial purple energy was given to Hongyun.
Although they were all people who had sat on the cushion, Kunpeng was the only one who had nothing. Kunpeng hated Hongyun, and together with Minghe and other cultivators who coveted the Hongmeng purple energy, and with the instigation of Zhunti, they intercepted and killed Hongyun. Hongyun died from then on.
Since she understood Hongyun's future difficulties, Hongjun wanted to take Hongyun's role and die, but she would not do that!
Kong Shuang smiled slightly, nodded to Jie Yin, and said in a clear and coaxing voice: "Fellow Daoist Jie Yin, since you want the cushion, how about I give this to you?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell silent and hushed.
Tongtian tilted his head, and looked at Kong Shuang with his handsome eyes and eyebrows, still smiling, and it was impossible to tell whether he was happy or angry.
Yuanshi snorted coldly and looked at Tongtian, "See, I don't want to accept your kindness at all!"
Zhunti turned his gaze to Kong Shuang eagerly, and tugged at the corner of Jie Yin's clothes, secretly reminding him that Kong Shuang was a sinister and cunning woman, and that he should not be fooled by her.
Hongyun stared at Kong Shuang in surprise. Why did her friend change his personality? He seemed like a different person.
Kong Shuang ignored everyone's gazes, opened her red lips slightly, and said in a gentle tone: "Daoyou Jieyin, do you want this cushion or not?"
