(Two chapters in one!)
…
Guo Zhen looked at the sudden appearance of Chonglou, his head buzzing.
What he is most worried about now is that this evil star will cause trouble.
But now the other party is really here.
And it came so silently.
If he hadn't turned his head suddenly, he wouldn't have noticed the other party, and he wouldn't know how long the other party had been there.
Guo Zhen immediately looked at Chonglou with a look of panic: "You...why is it you again? What do you want to do?"
Chonglou looked at Guo Zhen's panicked look and knew that the other party's true spirit had fallen asleep.
Therefore, he tried his best to be kind and said: "Don't worry, although I don't know why your true spirit has to go through tribulation, but after knowing it, I won't take advantage of others."
"Besides, you are really asleep right now, so there is no point in me trying to fight you."
"Instead, I will help you complete the tribulation. When your tribulation is over, we will have a good fight. If anyone stops you from going through the tribulation, I will make the other party pay the price."
"I think that when you succeed in your calamity, we should be able to fight for a long, long time. That way, I won't be lonely in the endless time in the future..."
The more Chonglou talked, the more excited he became.
After all, this is a person who has the same realm as him and the Emperor of Heaven.
When the other person recovers, he will at least have someone who can accompany him to relieve his boredom in the long and endless years.
Guo Zhen was relieved when he heard Chonglou's words.
It's not just about fighting him.
Moreover, with Chonglou's words, he felt relieved.
When I played Xian 3 before, my favorite character was Chonglou.
Once this guy says something, he never goes back on it.
In order to allow Sedum to explode with the power of flying pods, he almost seemed to take care of and nurture Sedum.
However, Jingtian was never Feipeng, and in the end he failed to unleash Feipeng's power. During the final battle, Chonglou said that Jingtian was superior in martial arts.
This shows that Jingtian's strength is not enough. The opponent is not Feipeng, so he can only compete in martial arts.
Now, isn’t this Chonglou going to do this kind of training for him, right?
But he felt something was wrong.
Why does it feel a little numb because of Chonglou? What does it mean to not be lonely for endless time, and what does it mean to be able to play for a long, long time?
He didn't agree.
Guo Zhen looked at Chonglou and asked tentatively: "Well, you can be sure that I can fight you when my true spirit wakes up, so you are not afraid that I don't have any true spirit at all?"
Zhonglou immediately shook his head and said: "Impossible, that's because your true soul is sleeping. You don't know that you are really going through a calamity now. The power to transcend reincarnation and bring people back to life is only known to me and the Emperor of Heaven, and you are the third one." indivual."
"No one can fake this kind of power. It is the power of understanding the supreme rules and transcending the creatures in the six realms."
All right!
————
Hearing this, Guo Zhen didn't know how to explain it.
That was the power of the Soul Redemption Lamp, not his.
Moreover, he is really not an expert.
The other party thought of him as a master because of his own imagination.
Can't blame him.
However, now that Chonglou was by his side, Guo Zhen suddenly felt more courageous and said, "Well, I want to go into Xiangguo Temple to check if there are any demons gathering here. Do you want to go with me?"
When Chonglou heard this, he said directly: "No need to look, there are indeed many demons gathering inside, and something is wrong, there is a familiar force."
"It seems to be a magic weapon that I refined in the past. I refined three pieces at that time and threw them away when I found them useless."
"Uh!" Guo Zhen suddenly thought of something when he heard this.
The main plot of Xian 2 is the three magic weapons.
It seems that the leader of the Yasha Kingdom, one of the eight kingdoms of the Demon Realm, is the Demon Lord in the Immortal 2 period. Because his daughter fell in love with Jiang Qing, a disciple of Shushan, and then because Kong Lin was jealous of Jiang Qing, he plotted Jiang Qing to enter the Demon Locking Tower. After the Demon Lord's daughter found out, He also followed in.
In the end, Jiang Qing went crazy and massacred the young disciples of contemporary Shushan, and the Demon Lord's daughter also died giving birth to Jiang Waner.
This demon king also attacked Shushan in anger and attacked the Demon Locking Tower. Naturally, he was defeated by Shushan and was forced to invest his power into the three magic weapons.
The Demon Locking Tower was refined with the help of the God Realm, and Zixuan used the Five Spiritual Pearls to repair it. How could the so-called Lord of the Yaksha Kingdom break through it?
Zen Master Qianye became the Demon Lord with the help of the three magic weapons. Naturally, this was the Demon Lord he thought he was. In fact, he had the same strength as the leader of the Yaksha Kingdom. Otherwise, he would not have been killed by Wang Xiaohu and the others.
Although the three of them were helped by the power of Nuwa, which Zhao Ling'er left on Li Yiru's body.
But this also shows that it is rubbish, and the strength is at most a little stronger than the Taoist realm.
The key is that these three magic weapons were just casually refined by Chonglou and discarded as useless?
This is regarded as a treasure by those in the demon world.
After hearing Chonglou describe the situation inside, Guo Zhen suddenly felt uninterested.
Before, Lao Chen wanted to explore Shengyu Village. Although he knew the situation of Shengyu Village, he did not decrypt it for Lao Chen. He completely gave Lao Chen the pleasure of decrypting it.
Chonglou directly told him the details of Xiangguo Temple. Although this was very satisfying, it felt very unfulfilling.
Guo Zhenshan turned around and returned to Liu Shangshu's mansion.
What he didn't expect was that Chonglou actually followed him, never leaving.
this……
Return to Liu Shangshu's mansion.
Li Xiaoyao and the people from Shushan have not returned from the palace yet.
Instead, they saw the betrothal gifts entertaining Murong Ziying and the others.
She poured some floral water for the three of them.
This is not an ordinary flower dew, but a special method of collecting dew from the butterfly spirit. It can be said to be a treasure in the world, and ordinary people will never have the opportunity to drink it in their lifetime.
But Liu Jinyuan is so lucky that he can drink it every day.
Liu Jinyuan followed Caiyi and watched Caiyi entertain the three people. He didn't know what he was going to do and could only keep following Caiyi.
Liu Mengli and the other three obviously knew Caiyi's identity.
Caiyi's butterfly spirit identity can be hidden from others, but not from these three people.
"Miss Caiyi, this is for you, you need it." Liu Mengli gave a piece of jade to Caiyi.
That is the Emperor's Daughter Jade, something given to her by Yun Tianhe's father Yun Tianqing, which can hide the evil spirit from being discovered.
It was precisely this thing that allowed her to safely serve as the daughter of a county magistrate for so long before she met Yuntianhe.
When she gave this thing to Caiyi, she was obviously thinking of the time when she still lived as a human being.
Caiyi took the jade and knew the function of the jade. She immediately thanked Liu Mengli: "Thank you, senior."
"Guo Xianchang, you are back." When Liu Jinyuan saw Guo Zhen coming back, he seemed to find out what he could do, and that was to say hello to Guo Zhen.
Seeing Chonglou, he asked: "I have never seen this immortal before."
Murong Ziying also looked over and was shocked when she saw Chonglou: "He..."
Chonglou performed the illusion as simply as before. Ordinary people could not see his demonic body, and others did not find it strange that he was standing there.
But he, an illusion practitioner, could see it, just like Guo Zhen, Murong Ziying could naturally see it too.
Naturally, Chonglou did not hide this deliberately and wanted Guo Zhen to see it.
Murong Ziying recognized that this was a kind of demonic body, and the other party should be a demon.
But what makes Murong Ziying very strange is that the other party doesn't have a trace of devilish energy.
Is there such a thing?
"Is it him?" Liu Mengli exclaimed, subconsciously feeling nervous.
Yun Tianhe asked: "Mengli, what's wrong?"
However, Liu Mengli hurriedly bent towards Zhonglou, arched her body and said, "I have seen Mr. Demon Zunlou."
The reason why she knew about Chonglou was because he had read information about Chonglou in the ancient books of the fantasy world.
That's because the people who wrote ancient books in the demon world drew the appearance of the heavy building and left it in the ancient books.
After all, Chonglou once was powerful in the six realms. Before Zhonglou met Fei Peng, he was raiding the six realms in search of masters.
At that time, no one wanted to provoke him. Many demon lords in the demon world asked their tribesmen to remember the appearance of Chonglou and not to collide with him.
Therefore, many forces in the six realms should be grateful to Feipeng.
If Feipeng hadn't appeared, they would still be in dire straits.
When Murong Ziying heard Liu Mengli's words, she immediately thought of what Liu Mengli said about this person last time.
He immediately bowed slightly to greet Chonglou: "I've met your Excellency."
He is an immortal and must be the opposite of a demon.
But that also depends on who the target is.
Chonglou obviously didn't pay attention to the three of them, and said flatly: "Don't call me Demon Lord."
In his eyes, except Guo Zhen, no one is qualified for him to care about.
Moreover, he is now focused on helping Guo Zhen succeed in the disaster so that he can fight with him.
Shortly after.
Li Xiaoyao and those Shushan swordsmen returned with Liu Shangshu.
However, Liu Shangshu's face did not look good.
Li Xiaoyao was also a little unhappy.
"How is the matter?" Guo Zhen asked Li Xiaoyao.
Li Xiaoyao sighed and said, "We failed to see the emperor because we were blocked by Zen Master Qianye."
Another Shushan swordsman said: "I didn't expect that Zen Master Qianye to be so powerful. We are no match at all. I'm afraid he has the strength of the 9th level. The key is that he is full of Buddha's light and is a completely upright person."
Guo Zhen was surprised.
This Zen Master Chiba seems to be really capable.
Judging from the time, the opponent should not have this strength at this time.
It seems that something really happened during this period, causing Zen Master Qianye to explode in advance.
However, Guo Zhen has not revealed the details of Zen Master Qianye yet.
Because the transformation of the competitive city has not yet been completed.
No war can begin for the time being.
Moreover, with Murong Ziying and the other three taking care of everything, there is no fear of war starting at any time.
"There must be something wrong with Zen Master Qianye's obstruction in every possible way. We must investigate this matter clearly." Li Xiaoyao said with a frown.
The swordsmen in Shushan nodded.
Guo Zhen just let Li Xiaoyao and the others do it.
We can wait until the competition city is renovated.
He returned to the courtyard assigned to him by Liu Shangshu.
What troubled him was that Chonglou actually followed him into the courtyard.
This is almost like a personal bodyguard.
Team Tang and his party were all in the courtyard.
At this time, Captain Tang also knew that he had to put aside his own affairs first and wait until Liu Shangshu and the people in Shushan finished talking.
However, they would not leave Liu Shangshu's mansion for fear that they would not be able to get in next time.
When Guo Zhen entered the yard, he found that Team Tang and the others were playing cards boredly. Moreover, the cards outside were drawn by himself with pieces of paper.
This is okay.
Team Tang and the others are quite flexible in their thinking.
Seeing this, Guo Zhen's eyes lit up and he said to Team Tang: "Captain Tang, please lend me your cards first."
"Okay, Mr. Guo." Captain Tang nodded and took the card to Guo Zhen.
Guo Zhen took the cards, but smiled and said to Zhonglou: "Your Excellency, Chonglou, have you ever played Landlords?"
"Fighting Landlords? What is that?" Chonglou was confused.
Guo Zhen said with a smile: "Well, Mr. Chonglou, you sit down first, and I will tell you what Landlord Dou is."
Speaking, Guo Zhen continued: "Speaking of Landlords, we must first talk about the playing cards. These cards are A, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6... J, Q, K, big and small kings... "
Guo Zhen introduced the playing cards, and then explained the rules of Landlords to Chonglou in detail.
"Your Excellency Chonglou, are all the rules clear?" Guo Zhen asked.
Chonglou nodded and said: "I think everything is clear."
"Then no magic is allowed, no cheating, let's play a game," Guo Zhen said, and began to shuffle the cards, letting Team Tang act as the third player.
Team Tang didn't know Chonglou's identity, so he was very happy to see Mr. Guo asking him to play cards.
After figuring out the rules, Guo Zhen began to fight the landlord with Chonglou and Tang Team.
Chonglou robbed the landlord in the first round. Obviously, in his eyes, he just wanted to fight two.
But it was the first time I played Chonglou in Doudizhu, and I didn’t rely on mana or spells to cheat. I lost three games in a row directly with the cooperation of Guo Zhen and Team Tang.
"It's interesting." Chonglou frowned slightly, and with a sudden sweep, the cards disappeared, and then his figure also disappeared.
This made Guo Zhen stunned.
Isn't this Chonglou going to retreat to study with the cards?
This is really possible.
Captain Tang was stunned when he saw Chonglou disappearing.
The people in this world who are with Mr. Guo are indeed not ordinary people.
One day passed.
Li Xiaoyao had already asked Jian You from Shushan to go out to investigate the demons. He and Lin Yueru also investigated personally to see if there was any relationship between Zen Master Qianye and those demons.
If there is a connection, then it will definitely not be easy for the other party to build this pagoda and ask for the blood of those young boys to be sacrificed.
The next day, the system prompt sounded again in Guo Zhen's mind:
"Ding! The transformation of the competition city is completed, the countdown begins, and energy begins to be collected..."
Guo Zhen heard the system prompt and looked at the light screen in his mind. There was already an icon of the competitive city with two prompts on it.
One is a 15-day countdown.
One is a reminder to collect energy.
Energy number: 0.
After only a moment, he saw that the energy number increased, but it was an increase of 1 point.
It only took a long time to increase the energy value by 200.
This should be ordinary people having disputes and fighting, which generates this energy.
In other words, ordinary people can also produce energy when fighting, but the energy produced will be very small.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhen was thinking about how to get Zen Master Qianye and Li Xiaoyao to fight without letting Zen Master Qianye be killed at once.
Only continuous fighting can continuously generate energy. Why should Zen Master Qianye survive for 15 days?
But with Murong Ziying and the other two around, once the three of them take action, it seems a little difficult for Zen Master Qianye to survive for 15 days.
So, plan it first.
Thinking of this, Guo Zhen left Liu Shangshu's mansion and went straight to the direction of Xiangguo Temple.
at this time.
In Xiangguo Temple, deep in the Zen room, one can see rays of light surging with Buddha patterns, covering the surrounding area.
The area where the Buddha's light emerged does not look like a gathering of demons at all. Instead, it looks like a Buddhist holy place where demons are retreating.
But under this full layer of Buddha's light, you can see the surging demonic patterns, a black air lingering inside, and a gathering of demons that only ran out of Shu Mountain.
In the middle position, there is a glass flower.
That was the Seven Treasure Glazed Flower, one of the three magic weapons, which contained one-third of the power of the Demon Lord of the Yasha Kingdom.
at this time.
Zen Master Qianye was casting a spell on the Seven Treasures Glazed Flower, absorbing the power bit by bit.
After becoming a demon, he was naturally familiar with one-third of the power of the Demon Lord inside.
But he, a possessed man, did not respect the Demon Lord, but wanted to replace him.
Next to them, the demons stood there obediently and respectfully.
At this time.
A voice came from outside: "Abbott, there is Prime Minister Ding Wei outside asking to see you."
Zen Master Qianye stood up, passed through the demonic energy, and appeared outside covered by the Buddha's light runes.
There is a monk reporting outside.
"Go and bring the people in." Zen Master Qianye ordered.
The monk nodded, and after leaving for a while, he brought a middle-aged man in.
This man has gloomy eyes, and he looks like a man who is good at conspiracy.
This person is Ding Wei, the traitor mentioned by the ministers.
As soon as Ding Wei came in, he said angrily: "Zen Master, now those people from Shushan are investigating in the city, what should we do? You stopped me this time, what about next time?"
Zen Master Qianye frowned and asked, "Isn't it Liu Shangshu who brought those people from Shushan into the palace this time?"
Ding Wei said with a gloomy face: "Yes, it's this guy. Before you came, Zen Master, this guy has always been against me. This time, it seems that four ministers participated in the invitation to the Shushan Sword Immortal."
"If these common men join forces to cause trouble, I'm afraid they will ruin the Zen Master's affairs, and then it will be difficult to complete the Zen Master's plan."
Zen Master Qianye said coldly: "They think that with people from Shushan as their backers, they can influence my plan? They are too naive."
"I remember that there was a banshee in Liu Shangshu's house! The people of Shushan danced with monsters, and the so-called Liu Shangshu harbored filth and allowed his son to marry a monster. Presumably, the evil spirits in the palace were also related to him. Right? That would be rebellion, right?"
Zen Master Qianye said with a hint of amusement on his face.
After he arrived in the capital, he investigated several powerful officials of the Song Dynasty in order to select partners for cooperation.
That is, Ding Wei and six ministers.
In the end, he chose Ding Wei, a selfish traitor, to cooperate with him to complete his plan.
Therefore, he knew all six ministers, and naturally he also knew that there was a banshee in Liu Shangshu's family, and she was the wife of Liu Shangshu's son.
He is no longer the Buddhist monk who hated demons and demons with hatred. Now he is a Buddhist monk when he wants to be a Buddhist monk, and he is a demon king when he wants to be a demon.
Therefore, he did not get rid of the banshee, and even thought of using it at the critical moment.
Unexpectedly, it can actually be used now.
Since Liu Shangshu and the people from Shushan want to do bad things, then deal with them.
At that time, as long as the evidence of Shushan's collusion with demons is conclusive, let's see how shameless Shushan will be in the capital.
What's more, this time he built the Tongguang Pagoda and summoned monks, not just ordinary monks, but many former inheritors of Buddhism.
He had read the classics and knew that Buddhism once had a battle with Shushan, and then its vitality was severely damaged and it was still lingering.
If there is a chance to seize this power in the world, and someone can even resist the two Taoist masters from Shushan, they must not mind competing with Shushan.
When he heard that Zen Master Qianye was going to take action against Liu Shangshu and the others, Ding Wei was naturally excited.
He had long been unhappy with some common men.
As long as these people are killed, he will have the final say in the court.
According to his agreement with Zen Master Qianye, as long as Zen Master Qianye's plan is completed, the throne will be his.
But at this moment, another monk ran in in a panic, handed a bamboo tube to Zen Master Qianye, and said: "Zen Master, someone outside lost a bamboo tube with a piece of paper wrapped around it. It says it must be handed over to you, and it also says it concerns your secrets and life."
These words made Zen Master Qianye frown tightly.
How could anyone know his secret?
But he still subconsciously took the bamboo tube.
There was nothing else inside the bamboo tube, just a piece of paper with writing on it.
"Old man Qianye, I already know your secret. How does it feel to be possessed? Now you have to do one thing for me, and that is to send people to attack Liu Shangshu's mansion and deal with those Shushan monks."
"Otherwise, I will tell everyone in the world that you have become a demon. Then the two people in Shushan who have attained the Dao realm, and even the other 71 people who have cultivated the Immortal Cave's 'Immortal Realm', will fuck you."
"Maybe those Buddhist masters will turn around and destroy you!"
"Remember, I'm watching you, always watching you, and do as I say."
Seeing these contents, Zen Master Qianye was filled with shock.
How could anyone know this secret?
The key is that this person has been staring at him?
Zen Master Qianye hurriedly looked around, looking suspicious.
However, he also forced himself to calm down.
Since the other party wants him to attack the people from Shushan in Liu Shangshu's mansion, it means that the other party is not on the same side as those from Shushan, and also wants to deal with Shushan.
In this case, there is no need to rush for the time being.
Since the purpose is the same, you can listen to the other party's actions first and delay the time first.
After his plan is completed, he will find out the other party and let him know how powerful he is.
At this time, outside Xiangguo Temple, Guo Zhen had already left.
I don’t know if his words will frighten Zen Master Qianye, or if he will think of such a person.
However, as a director, he now has to go back to Liu Shangshu's mansion and wait for the show to begin.
In Xiangguo Temple, Zen Master Qianye immediately destroyed the note in his hand, then called a monk and said, "Go and invite those masters over."
The monk nodded and trotted out immediately.
But within a moment, I saw figures flashing forward and arriving in front of Zen Master Qianye.
These people have Buddhist patterns surging on their bodies, and they are obviously masters of Buddhism.
They were attracted here because they heard that the Thirty-Three-Tongguang Pagoda was going to be built in the capital.
Moreover, during this period, monsters appeared in the capital from time to time, and even in the palace, monsters were causing trouble. It was the time when they were promoting Buddhism.
Naturally, they also knew about the sacrifice of virgin blood.
However, this method of sacrifice is not without explanation. Although it is an evil method, if it can solve the emperor's problem and allow him to support the prosperity of Buddhism, it is also a method.
Sometimes the method does not distinguish between good and evil, but depends on who uses it.
If they use it, it is correct.
It is their honor to pray and recite Puranas for the virgins whose blood was sacrificed.
Otherwise, ordinary people will never have this kind of blessing in their lifetimes.
When Zen Master Qianye saw these Buddhist masters coming, he smiled and said: "Masters, we are all gathered here for the prosperity of Buddhism and to eliminate demons. Now that demons are appearing frequently in the capital, it is time for us to promote Buddhism."
"I discovered that there was a female demon causing trouble in Liu Shang's palace in the imperial court. Liu Shangshu even intended to overthrow the imperial court and use the demon to cause trouble. Now there are people from Shushan who are colluding with Liu Shangshu. I suspect that during this time, the demon was also causing trouble in Shushan. relation."
"Didn't we investigate that all the demons came from Shushan? Maybe the current emperor wants to promote our Buddhism, and Shushan deliberately released these demons."
Hearing this, the Buddhist masters became angry.
For a long time, the Song Dynasty believers suppressed their Buddhist sect, which made it difficult for them to practice Buddhism.
Now that the emperor finally wanted to promote Buddhism and build a thirty-three-story Tongguang pagoda, they would naturally go all out to support Zen Master Qianye.
One of the Buddhist masters immediately said: "Hmph, Shushan claims to be righteous, but it actually associates with demons. It's really shameful."
Another Buddhist master also said: "Yes, this time the banshee from Shangshu Mansion happened to appear, humiliating the Shushan Sect severely and making the Shushan Sect lose face in front of the world."
Seeing the attitudes of these Buddhist masters, Zen Master Qianye was all smiles. He didn't even need to take action personally.
