Chapter 69 The Truth About Death◇
◎Seeking Revenge◎
After Zhunti took Di Jun from Lingshan, she held a grudge against him. If it were in the past, they would have directly attacked the Heavenly Palace and beat Di Jun so badly that he wouldn't even be able to recognize the Sun Star.
But now Zhunti and Jieyin are no longer alone, they have the West behind them, especially after Minghe led the Asura clan to join the West and abducted a large number of humans, the West has developed into a sect with a large number of disciples.
It is more than the three religions of the neighboring people, Chan and Jie combined!
A sweet burden.
As the leaders of a religion, they must shoulder the responsibility of a leader under this sweet burden. They can no longer act recklessly and offend people at random. After all, although their enemies cannot retaliate against them, they can retaliate against the Western religion.
No matter how much weaker Di Jun was than them, the Demon King of Heaven had many capable men under his command and could not take revenge. So, the two of them set their sights on the ten little golden crows, which were Di Jun's beloved treasures.
The ten little golden crows, as the little princes of the heavenly court, naturally cannot be killed at will. So they wanted to take the little golden crows across to the West. Didn’t you, Di Jun, look down on us in the West before? We insist on having your son become our disciple in the West to make you angry to death.
In this situation, they had to consider Western religion. Although saints were not involved in cause and effect, they could not take risks with the Western Church.
After thinking for a long time, who should be blamed for this?
Kong Shuangtongtian is the first choice, but these two people are more cunning than the other. It is harder to trick them than to let Pangu's backbone, Mount Buzhou, collapse one day.
They can only choose the second option. If you ask who wants Di Jun to be in trouble the most, the two brothers have to step back and give way to the Wu clan. No one is more suitable to take the blame than the Wu clan.
It was easy to put the blame on the Wu Clan. They didn't need to instigate anything; those stupid big guys from the Wu Clan rushed forward faster than anyone else.
Ever since the last fight between the Wu clan and the other clans, Taiyi was afraid that the Wu clan would target his beloved nephew, so he brought ten little Golden Crows back to Heaven. However, the little Golden Crows were too young to withstand the sun's true fire covering their bodies. In Heaven, they were like a big furnace, causing great distress to Heaven.
In desperation, they could only send them back to Yanggu on the Sun Star to live. Yanggu is where the sun was born, and Dijun and Taiyi were born there.
Zhunti and Jie Yin were lying in ambush outside the Sun Star, fearing that they would be discovered by Di Jun and Tai Yi. They did not dare to enter their hometown, so they could only change back into Taoist attire and go to the Witch Clan. A new problem arose: who should they find to lure the Little Golden Crow out?
Zhunti thought of the witch who wanted to eat him at the beginning. If he didn't take revenge now, when would he?
Zhunti found him and gave him a magic bow in order to gain the trust of this wizard. Speaking of the origin of this magic bow, we have to go back to Tongtian.
Back when they were in the sea of blood, the two were nearly killed by Tongtian's sword. Afterwards, they ran to Zixiao Palace to cry. In order to comfort them, Daozu gave them many magic weapons, and this magic bow was one of them.
Although the magic bow is a magic weapon bestowed by the Taoist Ancestor, Zhunti Jieyin is not good at using this kind of magic weapon, let alone his disciples. Even though Zhunti feels distressed, he still understands that the magic bow will just gather dust in his hands, so it is better to give it away and get ten little golden crows in exchange.
A divine bow made by the Purple Sky Palace, how could it be bad? It was enough to kill ten little golden crows.
The wizard who was given the magic bow was named Kuafu. After a few visits, Zhunti became familiar with him. After they became familiar with each other, he deliberately mentioned in Kuafu's ears how domineering the demon tribe was and how arrogant the demon tribe's leader was.
The Wu people were originally big and strong, with simple minds and strong limbs. After a while, they were naturally provoked by Zhunti's provocation and lost their minds. Thinking of the days when the ten little golden crows were making moves in the sky and stirring up hatred, they decided to teach the demon people a lesson in anger.
Zhunti then gave him a tip, asking him to sneak into the Sun Star and lure out the ten little golden crows. Then the two of him and his brothers would help him from outside and together they would give the demon clan a hard time.
In fact, the two of them had already transformed back into their true forms of saints, each with kind eyes and numerous appearances, which made people feel awe and respect. Then, when Kuafu expelled the ten little golden crows, they stepped forward and saved them from the water and fire, and then naturally took them to the West.
This plan seemed perfect, but they overlooked one point. The power of the ten little golden crows was too strong, so strong that they directly burned little Kuafu to death.
Kuafu's plan to seek revenge on the little golden crows was not only known to Zhunti and Jieyin, he also told his good friend Houyi, who followed him to the outside of the Sun Star, waiting to raid the camp for his friend.
Everyone knew what happened later. Kuafu did lead out the little golden crows, but he was also sunburned to death. Houyi was furious and directly took the magic bow that Zhunti had given to Kuafu. Before Zhunti could come back to lead them, he shot and killed nine golden crows in a row with "Shua, swish, swish".
Just as he was about to shoot the youngest Lu Ya to death, Jie Yin suddenly reacted and was about to rescue him when Kun Peng suddenly appeared, followed by Hou Tu...
The two were still unwilling to give up. Just as they were thinking about how to take the Little Golden Crow away without revealing their identities, Tongtian and Taiyi arrived in a hurry.
There was really no chance now! The two men returned to the West in frustration, unaware that Tong Tian had already learned of their conspiracy and the accidental killing of the nine little Golden Crows.
Although the little sun is gone, the sun star is still hanging high in the sky, shining brightly.
Tongtian told the truth of the matter word by word, and looked up at the sky. The nine little golden crows had died tragically not long ago, but he could still feel the resentment of the little suns in the sky lingering. They were resentful, unwilling, and shouting that they did not want to leave.
Taiyi listened to the truth about his nephews' tragic deaths in silence, and his face turned a strange ashen blue. The Donghuang Bell seemed to sense its owner's emotions, and it kept spinning around him.
Seeing his expression, Lu Ya slowly took two steps back and asked timidly, "Uncle, please don't be like this. Lu Ya is scared."
Taiyi was stunned for a moment, looked at Lu Ya, raised his hand slightly, and wanted to show the same smile as usual to comfort his only remaining nephew, but he could only force the corners of his mouth and finally turned around. He couldn't smile.
Tongtian sighed deeply and silently recited Taoist scriptures, praying for the rebirth of the little golden crows.
The twelve witch ancestors learned the truth and gradually fell silent. They looked at each other and discussed for a while. Finally, the eldest, Emperor Jiang, stood up and said to Taiyi, "Today, our witch clan will avenge Kuafu. Later, we will not bother with you, a birdman, for now. The West used the witch clan, and we will go to collect the debt now."
Tongtian raised his eyebrows, a look of surprise on his face.
Due to various reasons, the relationship between the Three Pure Ones and the Witch Clan was like that of sworn enemies, the kind that would fight whenever they met. When he was still a pure-spirited child, the Twelve Ancestral Witches were more powerful than them. Therefore, his two elder brothers would pull him aside and tell him every day:
"The Wu Clan is not a good people, they are cruel and violent. Don't let your guard down just because you think they miss Father God. We will never have anything to do with them..."
Therefore, he had very little contact with the witch clan. When he heard Di Jiang say this, he felt that although this person spoke harshly, he had a bit of a pure heart.
If Kong Shuang were here, he would have praised Di Jiang secretly behind his back.
Taiyi did not expect that the Wu Clan would be the first to go to the West to seek revenge. He was stunned, clenched his fists, and told Kunpeng to send Lu Ya back to heaven. He picked up the Donghuang Bell and also went to the West.
He felt that if he did not seek justice for his nephew, he would have no face to return to heaven to see his brother and sister-in-law.
Tongtian did not stop them. In his opinion, it might be a good thing if the Lich and Warcraft tribes could vent their anger on the two Westerners. If the two tribes joined forces to fight against the West, perhaps they could even resolve the war between the Liches and Warcraft tribes.
Anyway, Zhunti and Jie Yin are both saints, so they won’t suffer much loss.
Tongtian frowned slightly, thought for a moment, and flew into the air to catch up. Zhunti Jieyin put the blame on him, so he had reason to seek revenge.
It is most reassuring to have the development of things in your own hands.
Suddenly, there was a ray of light in the sky, and a golden flag fell down. At the same time, a huge pressure descended, and everyone except the saints knelt on the ground.
Tongtian pursed his lips imperceptibly, casually tucked his sleeves, lowered his head, and said reluctantly: "Teacher——"
A voice came from the flag: "Tongtian, return to Zixiao Palace quickly."
Even though he was extremely reluctant, Tongtian could only nod and agree: "Yes."
He couldn't go to the West, so Tongtian returned to Kunpeng, took out the remains of the nine little golden crows from his sleeves, and asked him to send them back to heaven for burial. He originally wanted to hand them over to Taiyi personally, but now it seems that he didn't know when that would be.
The Zixiao Palace was as quiet and lonely as ever. Haotian Yaochi, who was guarding the door, respectfully called out "Sage Tongtian" and welcomed the person in.
Tongtian frowned all the way to Hongjun in the main hall, performed the master-disciple ceremony awkwardly, and turned away.
Hongjun stroked his beard and looked at his angry disciple below, and couldn't help but laugh: "What? Are you angry?"
Hearing this, Tongtian lifted up his robe and knelt on the cushion. His movements froze and his breathing also stopped slightly. For some reason, the tone of the teacher in front of him was inexplicably strange.
He raised his eyes and said in the tone of a teenager who tugged at his teacher's sleeve and acted like a spoiled brat: "Teacher, why are you stopping me?"
Hongjun's smile deepened: "Seeing that you disregard your status and are involved in karma and karma, it is naturally for your consideration."
"Yes!" Tongtian lowered his eyes and responded, becoming more certain of his thoughts. The teacher in front of him was not a teacher. When the teacher summoned him to Zixiao Palace for discipline in the past, he had never used such a doting and gentle tone to coax him.
Considering the last time he split Lingshan with one sword, his teacher had almost made his ears calloused from nagging. This person who was deliberately trying to get close to him was not his teacher.
If the person in front of him wasn't his teacher, then it could only be...
Tongtian remained calm, responding to the words of this fake teacher in front of him: "I believe I am not wrong. What's wrong with me hoping that there will be no war in the prehistoric world?"
Hongjun's smile remained undimmed as he spoke slowly, "All living beings below the level of Saints will be swept up in the Calamity. This is the way of Heaven, unchanging from eternity. From today on, follow me in Zixiao Palace to listen to my teachings and you may not leave."
After saying that, he stared at Tongtian seriously, hoping that Tongtian would say something like "against the will of heaven", and then he would have a reason to directly convict Tongtian, and Hongjun would have no way to say anything?
But Tongtian did not do as he wished.
