Chapter 9 Zhunti's Complaint
◎She wants to set off firecrackers to celebrate◎
Early in the morning of that day, the sound of bustling people could be faintly heard outside the Zixiao Palace.
Under Tongtian's nose, Kong Shuang could not practice, so she could only rely on sleeping to pass the time. While she was sleeping, she was awakened by the noise outside. When she woke up, she saw Tongtian meditating, immersed in practice.
She swung her claws and slowly crawled onto Tongtian's knees, pecked him awake with her beak, pulled his sleeve, and wanted him to take her out to see what was happening outside.
She didn't dare leave Tongtian's side, because Yuanshi was watching her closely and wanted to throw her out of Zixiao Palace at any time. Fortunately, Tongtian protected her closely and Yuanshi was never able to succeed.
Tongtian opened his eyes and saw the furry ball lying on his knees. Its furry eyes were glowing and staring at him intently. This look was too familiar. Kong Shuang used this look every time he looked at him.
After spending so much time together, he could guess some of Kong Shuang's thoughts and couldn't help but speak: "Do you want to go out and listen to the sermon with me?"
Kong Shuang's snow-white claws had already grabbed his sleeves, and she found a comfortable place to sit down. Her expression was self-evident.
Tongtian poked her head with his finger and asked, "But if you want to attend the sermon with me, you will have to meet my second brother. Aren't you most afraid of him?"
Kong Shuang tilted her head and thought for a while, then slowly slipped into his sleeve. When she hid in the sleeve, Yuanshi couldn't find her. However, she was not concerned about Yuanshi, but about the sentient beings she heard in Zixiao Palace. Many people knew her, and she was afraid of being discovered.
In order to hide from Zhunti and Jie Yin that day, she shrunk her peacock body into the size of an ordinary bird. She should not be discovered, but to be on the safe side, she still had to be careful.
Tongtian brought her into the main hall of Zixiao Palace. The seven seats in the front were basically full, and he was the only one left. He walked over and sat down.
He was late, and Yuanshi couldn't help wanting to scold him. When he got closer, Yuanshi saw something wriggling in his sleeve. He immediately thought of what it was, and leaned towards Laozi with disgust, saying, "Take that thing of yours and stay away from me."
Tongtian responded and took Kong Shuang and pulled the cushion towards Zhunti.
He no longer devoted himself to arguing with his brother about Kong Shuang being a worthless person, because he found that Kong Shuang did not seem happy when he was arguing...
When Yuanshi saw that he was about to approach the two people from the West whom he disliked the most, he felt very conflicted. After thinking for a long time, he pulled him back.
"What did I tell you before? I told you to stay away from them, have you forgotten..."
Tongtian said "oh" again and couldn't help laughing.
Zhunti and Jie Yin looked unhappy. When they came in just now, they were pointed at all the way. The reason was that they looked even more destitute now, as miserable as beggars.
Zhunti also heard Nuwa and his brother discussing the two of them:
"Brother, you said that the two of them are wearing such tattered clothes, aren't they disrespectful to the Daozu? And that Zhunti, the wound on his face is so serious, I think the Daozu will feel pain in his eyes when he sees it."
After hearing this, Zhunti felt angry and aggrieved. He didn't want to come to see the Taoist Patriarch like this, but now Lingshan had been split open. They were already poor, and now they were even poorer. Where could they find nice clothes?
And his face. I don’t know what kind of vicious magic that witch Kong Shuang used. I have already reached the level of a Golden Immortal, but the wound still cannot heal itself. My senior brother said that unless they have high-grade herbs, it will take many years for the wound to heal.
They had collected some magical herbs before, but all the things in Lingshan were destroyed. Thinking of this, he hated Kong Shuang even more.
Originally, they wanted to go to Zixiao Palace to seek revenge on Kong Shuang, but it was already this time and Kong Shuang had not come yet. Kong Shuang was cunning and must have guessed that their brothers wanted to seek revenge on her, so she didn't dare to come.
So what if they don’t dare to come? The western spiritual vein was almost destroyed, which is no small matter. When the Taoist Ancestor comes, they must let him make the decision for them.
Kong Shuang slowly poked his head out from Tongtian's sleeve, glanced at the two people in the west, and saw Zhunti's face swollen like a pig's head. He couldn't help laughing and rolled on Tongtian's arms.
Tongtian noticed that Kong Shuang was not behaving well in his sleeve, so he put his other hand inside and touched her feathers to make her behave.
Kong Shuang knew what he meant. He was hinting that if she didn't obey, he would pull out her hair. She pecked his palm angrily.
Tongtian simply stopped in his sleeve and stroked her fur until her hair stood up.
A familiar pressure surged into the hall again, and Kong Shuang became quiet. She knew that Hongjun was coming.
Seeing Hongjun's figure, Zhunti couldn't help but lie on the ground and cried:
"Daozu, you must stand up for me. My western spiritual vein was nearly destroyed by some scoundrel. That person split the Lingshan Mountain where my senior brother and I live in two. I have listened to the Tao in front of you, but that person didn't even care about your dignity and didn't even take you seriously."
Jie Yin, who was still whispering to comfort him, broke out in a cold sweat for him. The person in front of him was the only saint in the prehistoric world, not the good-tempered Tong Tian. If they offended Dao Zu, they would be in trouble!
Tongtian felt that his words were inexplicably familiar. He remembered when he begged him to calculate the secrets of heaven. It seemed like a request, but in fact it was a sour coercion. However, because he was talking to the Taoist this time, he was a little more tactful.
Yuanshi remembered that day when Tongtian returned to Zixiao Palace covered in dirt. He scolded him for going to demolish the mountain. Tongtian admitted it seriously, but he did not take it seriously. Now Zhunti is crying and complaining that his Lingshan was split in half. Wasn’t it Tongtian’s fault?
He hurriedly exchanged a glance with Laozi, feeling somewhat worried. No matter why Tongtian wanted to split Lingshan, the two of them, as brothers, could not let others bully Tongtian.
I gave him a comforting look, telling him not to be too anxious.
Kong Shuang, who was hiding in Tongtian's sleeve, stopped making a fuss immediately after hearing this. This good news from heaven filled her heart with joy. She still remembered what she said to Yuanshi when she was brought back to Zixiao Palace by Tongtian.
He also remembered that after he was injured and passed out, he faintly heard the rumbling sound of something collapsing in the haze. It was probably when Tongtian was demolishing Lingshan.
Kong Shuang couldn't help but rub Tongtian's palm. If she had known that Tongtian had demolished Lingshan, she wouldn't have let Tongtian stroke her hair, let alone stroke her baldness.
When the cultivators at the back heard that Lingshan was split by someone, they immediately started whispering to each other. The person who could split Lingshan must be no ordinary person. When did the two Westerners provoke such a powerful person?
Amidst various opinions, many people also speculated whether it was Kong Shuang, the mortal enemy of the two Westerners, but was denied by Zhen Yuanzi and Hong Yun. Kong Shuang had just been promoted to Daluo Jinxian not long ago, how could he have this ability?
The cultivator said nothing, but thought silently in his heart, Kong Shuang naturally does not have this ability alone, but if you two are added, I am afraid that three Daluo Jinxians may not be able to split a sacred mountain!
Garuda, who was also hiding in Kunpeng's sleeve, was talking quietly with the teacher: "Teacher, hasn't she come yet?"
Kunpeng comforted his young disciple: "Kongque has probably escaped. If she shows up in Zixiao Palace, she will be targeted by Xifang and Xifang. It's better for her not to show up."
Garuda felt relieved, but Peacock fought against the two men from the West alone to protect him. If something really happened, he would feel guilty. Although he and his sister were not on good terms, he did not want anything to happen to her.
Everyone had their own opinion, and public opinion was in an uproar. Speculations were rife, and everyone turned their attention to Hongjun.
Hongjun looked indifferent. Such a big thing did not affect him at all. Others did not notice that a gloom slowly emerged in his eyes. He originally thought that Bi Zhunti was really pitiful and wanted to heal his injuries, but now it seems that there is no need to do so.
He claimed that some of the monks had heard his teachings while he was sitting there, so he wanted to protect him. However, all the three thousand monks present had heard his teachings. If all of them wanted his protection, wouldn't he be exhausted to death?
At this time, the culprit was still watching the show leisurely. Hongjun glanced at Tongtian imperceptibly. Seeing Tongtian grinning at him, he couldn't help but sigh softly.
Amidst everyone's anticipation, Hongjun finally spoke. He suppressed the gloom in his eyes and looked at the two men from the west, his expression unsettling: "You two have not cultivated your moral character. The destruction of Lingshan is a calamity for both the west and you two."
Zhunti Jieyin's face turned pale in an instant. It was within their expectations that Hongjun would not speak for them, but they did not expect that Hongjun would be so indifferent to them, refusing to give them even a little elixir, and blaming them for not cultivating their moral character.
Although Hongjun was very excessive, Zhunti still came to a conclusion from his mouth that the reason Lingshan was destroyed was because they offended people with their words. When Kong Shuang was seriously injured that time, it was indeed because he wanted to take Kong Shuang's younger brother, the golden-winged Roc, to the west, which angered Kong Shuang.
Therefore, the person who split Lingshan was undoubtedly Kong Shuang. Thinking of this, Zhun broke out in a cold sweat.
That day, he and his senior brother had seriously injured Kong Shuang, but Kong Shuang was still able to split Lingshan despite being seriously injured and even escape. This shows how powerful Kong Shuang's strength has become!
Zhunti began to feel fortunate that he had always been in pairs with his senior brother. If one day he was left alone, wouldn't he be beaten to death by Kong Shuang?
Kong Shuang didn't know that there were so many things going on in his mind, nor did she know that Zhunti had already regarded her as the murderer. She was very happy now, the kind of happiness that she wanted to set off firecrackers to announce that her enemy was in big trouble. She was already happily swinging on Tongtian's clothes.
The others were not in the same good mood as her. When Yuanshi heard the teacher say that the two people from the West did not have good manners, he immediately glared at them fiercely, saying that they had bad thoughts and bad mouths, and they deserved to have a bad mouth.
He looked at Tongtian with relief again. This was more like his brother. If anyone offended him, he would have to pay the price. This was what the Three Pure Ones did!
