The Grand Prince's Mansion.
Fahai collected the demons, and the purple golden bowl burst out with terrifying power. The golden waves were like giant waves, swallowing up the sky and destroying the earth.
At the critical moment, Sanzang formed a seal with his hands. In an instant, the red light of the Buddha seal between his eyebrows was strong, blocking the power of the purple gold bowl.
"This is?"
When Fahai saw this, his expression condensed.
The power of the five realms!
Master actually sealed part of the Buddha's essence in Sanzang's body!
"Three times of Bodhi."
In the stormy sea, Sanzang forcibly lifted the seal in the Buddha Seal between the eyebrows, circulated the Buddha Yuan, and reproduced the secret formula of Buddhism.
"The mirror is not the truth!"
Amidst the deep shouts, golden waves appeared in response, the mirror light reflected the Buddha's essence, and the purple gold bowl crashed down.
"Well."
The moment the Buddha Yuan fell back and the purple golden bowl fell, Fahai groaned, staggered, and a touch of vermilion overflowed from the corner of his mouth.
"puff!"
In front of Qingqing, Sanzang was also impacted by the Buddha's energy, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, dyeing the Buddha's clothes red.
"Princess, let's go."
Not daring to hesitate, Sanzang endured his injuries, grabbed Qingqing, who was also seriously injured, broke through the guards' obstruction, and escaped from the palace.
"Amitabha!"
Fahai glanced at the purple golden bowl that had been knocked to the ground, suppressed the injuries in his body, then waved his hand to put away the purple golden bowl, and immediately chased after him.
"His Majesty."
In the main hall, when the courtiers saw Fozi leaving with Princess Qingqing, they immediately looked at the Shang Emperor in front of them, waiting for the order.
"Chase."
Emperor Shang said calmly.
"yes!"
In front of the main hall, many guards took the order and immediately chased after him.
"Old Bai, let's go!"
Outside the main hall, Li Ziye glanced at Little Red Riding Hood and signaled.
"Um."
Bai Wangyu nodded and left the palace together.
"Boom!"
At this moment, there was thunder in the sky and heavy rain poured down.
On the streets of the capital, the rain was so heavy that even the view was restricted.
"Brother Li, what should I do?" Bai Wangyu asked outside the palace.
"Find the little monk first."
Li Ziye said calmly, "Then, find a way to help him escape from the capital."
"Brother Li, you are making an enemy of the imperial court." Bai Wangyu reminded.
"I can't control that much."
Li Ziye said in a deep voice, "I can't just watch something happen to the young monk and Princess Qingqing. Lao Bai, please go back to Taixue Palace and help spread the word. I want to see the Confucian leader."
"good."
Bai Wangyu nodded and quickly walked towards Taixue Palace.
The downpour drenched the clothes of everyone on the street. Li Ziye stood under the heavy rain and looked at the increasing number of forbidden troops in the capital, his expression getting darker and darker.
This time, the little monk and Princess Qingqing may be in danger.
We must find a way to send them out of the city.
Thinking of this, Li Ziye gathered his thoughts and walked quickly in the direction of Li Yuan.
"boom!"
In the sky, thunder was everywhere, illuminating the dim world. In the heavy rain, where even the Buddha could not be seen, the little monk covered in blood staggered forward carrying the girl on his back, not daring to stop for a moment.
Blood and rain fell down the Buddha's clothes. Even though he was seriously injured on the ground, Sanzang's eyes were brighter than ever.
At the Imperial Academy, Bai Wangyu came over in a hurry and immediately paid homage to Fa Ru and wanted to see the head of Confucianism.
In this Taixue, if there is no summons from the Confucian leader, the only way to see the Confucian leader is through a message from the four masters.
"Wangyu."
Fa Ru looked at the disciple in front of him and said seriously, "This is a matter for the Buddhist sect and the imperial court, and has nothing to do with my Confucian sect."
"Master Zhang!"
Bai Wangyu said anxiously, "The princess did not harm anyone. Even if she is a monster, she will not be punished until death."
"A demon will be a demon after all."
The Master of Dharma Confucianism said calmly, "Just because I haven't harmed anyone before, doesn't mean I won't do it in the future. People who are not of my race will have different minds. You should know this."
"But." Bai Wangyu said urgently.
"There's nothing wrong with it. Go back and tell the Li family's heir that the Confucian sect will not interfere in this matter." The master of Faru said firmly.
When Bai Wangyu heard this, he clenched his hands tightly. After a moment, he bowed respectfully and turned to leave.
In Li Garden, the downpour continued for a day and did not stop. Before nightfall, Bai Wangyu returned from Confucianism.
In the front yard, Li Ziye waited anxiously. When he saw Little Red Riding Hood coming back, he quickly stepped forward with an umbrella in hand and asked anxiously, "How was it?"
Bai Wangyu sighed softly and shook his head.
"Isn't the Confucian sect willing to help?"
Li Ziye's expression was slightly condensed. Sure enough, the Confucian sect was not willing to wade into this muddy water.
"That's all."
Li Ziye sighed, turned around and walked towards the inner courtyard.
"What is Brother Li going to do?" Bai Wangyu asked.
"Since the Confucian sect refuses to help, I can only use my own methods to save people." Li Ziye responded and walked towards the inner courtyard.
Bai Wangyu hesitated for a moment, then followed suit.
In the inner courtyard, Li Ziye walked back to his room and turned the mechanism on the bookshelf.
Suddenly, a rumbling sound sounded, the bookshelf split into two, and a secret passage appeared.
Behind Li Ziye, Bai Wangyu looked shocked when he saw the secret passage in front of him.
There is such a secret hidden in Brother Li's room.
Li Ziye walked into the secret passage, and Bai Wangyu followed him.
In the secret passage, the light of the night pearl shines, illuminating the way forward.
When he reached the middle of the secret passage, Li Ziye did not continue walking forward, but turned around and pushed open a stone door.
Behind him, Bai Wangyu glanced at the depths of the endless secret passage, then quickly withdrew his gaze and walked into the secret room together.
"This is?"
The moment he walked into the secret room, Bai Wangyu felt a biting cold air blowing towards his face and into his eyes. The entire secret room was filled with huge ice bricks, white water vapor filled the air, and the chill was overwhelming.
In the middle of the secret room, there is a bed of ice, with a person lying on it. If you look closely, you can see that it is different from a human being.
"monster!"
After Bai Wangyu saw the body on the ice bed, he immediately recognized that it was the monster they killed that night.
Amid the cold air, the monster's body was still intact and had no signs of decay. Its gray-black torso was very similar to that of humans, but it was different at the same time.
The monster's body is very shriveled, especially its hands, which are like the claws of beasts, slender and sharp. There seem to be strange fine lines everywhere on the body, and there is a vague black air.
"Keng."
Li Ziye pulled out a short sword from his waist. It was the fish intestine sword that he had bribed Lao Qin with before.
When Qin Grace left the Li Mansion, she left many things behind, so Li Ziye brought the Fish Intestine Sword to the capital.
The fish intestine sword is world-famous for its sharpness, and it comes in handy at this moment.
"What is Brother Li going to do?"
On the side, Bai Wangyu asked in confusion.
"Anatomy."
Li Ziye put on sheepskin gloves, then took the fish intestine sword and thrust it directly into the monster's heart.
"Bah!"
Immediately, blood spurted out, dyeing Li Ziye's hands black.
"This monster's blood is black, but Princess Qingqing's blood is red."
Li Ziye opened the monster's chest with his fish gut sword and asked, "Do you know the reason?"
"I don't know."
Bai Wangyu shook his head and said, "However, there were rumors that if a demon eats people, the blood will gradually turn black. However, there is no way to verify whether the rumors are true or false."
"I've heard similar rumors."
Li Ziye opened the monster's chest, looked at the black heart inside, and said, "If the monster eats people, the monster's blood will turn from red to black, then the body, and finally, the monster's heart will also turn black. Look, this monster's The heart has turned black, what does it mean?”
"He ate more than one person." Bai Wangyu said in a deep voice.
"Yes, but even though she is a demon, Princess Qingqing's blood is still red."
Li Ziye said calmly, "It shows that the rumors are true, and Princess Qingqing has never eaten a human being. Since she has never harmed anyone, what right does she have to kill her?"
"But, the world doesn't believe it." Bai Wangyu said seriously.
"Whether the world believes it or not is none of my business."
Li Ziye sneered and said, "Moreover, what do you think, even if the world knows the truth, what can they do? Those who are not of my race must have different hearts. In the eyes of the world, monsters should die. I would rather kill the wrong one than let him go!"
Bai Wangyu fell silent after hearing the words, not knowing how to answer.
"If it wasn't to save the little monk, I actually wouldn't want to wade into this muddy water."
While talking, Li Ziye took a jade bottle, pierced the demon's heart with the fish intestine sword, and collected the demon's blood.
The last drop of red blood came out of the black demon heart and disappeared into the jade bottle.
The Confucian leader once said that demon blood is the cold dew of the extreme night, and the demon's heart blood is the essence of demon blood, which can be used to cast weapons.
This demon has eaten too many people, and its blood has been contaminated. Only this drop of pure heart blood is left.
such a pity!
Li Ziye put away the jade bottle, turned around and looked at Little Red Riding Hood behind him, and said, "Old Bai, now is the time for you to make a decision."
Bai Wangyu was silent, and after a moment, he said, "The Confucian leader told me to follow Brother Li, listen more, and see more. Therefore, I will do whatever Brother Li asks me to do."
"terrific."
A smile appeared on Li Ziye's face and he said, "Then let's go rescue the little monk."
After saying that, Li Ziye pulled the black cloth aside, covered the monster's body, tied it tightly, grinned and said, "Take it on your back!"
Bai Wangyu looked stunned, and without asking any further questions, he obediently carried the demon corpse on his back.
The two then left together and walked outside the house.
"Brother Li, do you know where Buddha is?"
"Maybe you know that the young monk is not familiar with the capital. Apart from Li Garden, the only place he knows is that you and I have been there."
"That ruined courtyard?"
"good."
…
In the capital, in the remote corners, in the dilapidated courtyards, in the pouring rain, the young monk and the enchantress arrived. They have been on the run until now, and their physical strength and energy have reached their limits.
"Little monk."
Qingqing lay on Sanzang's back, feeling the temperature of the little monk's back. A smile appeared on her pale face, and she said weakly, "Do you like me?"
"I, the Buddha, am compassionate and willing to save all living beings, whether they are humans or demons."
Sanzang was silent for a moment and replied.
"Little monk."
Perhaps because of the cold, Qingqing held Sanzang's arm tighter and asked again, "Do you like me?"
"Little monk, I am willing to extradite the princess." Sanzang said softly.
"Little monk."
Qingqing did not give up and asked for the third time, "Do you like me?"
Sanzang's body trembled. After a long time, his eyes gradually became firm and he said softly:
"like!"
