Within Xiqi Lupeng.
Taoist Ran Deng hurried back and looked around with an ugly face. He saw that each of the Chan Jiao Jinxian was injured and his brows were furrowed. Jiang Ziya was even more heartbroken and silent.
Now, there is no need to argue that the plan to attack the camp at night was a complete failure.
Not only did they not kill Shen Xin and destroy the Ten Jue Formation, but they also made Xiqi return in embarrassment and suffered a huge loss.
After all the calculations, except for him who had won the hemp by lighting the lamp, everyone else had completely lost.
At this moment, Taoist Ran Deng was staring at Cao Bao in the distance, and sighed along with the others without changing his expression. He looked at the sky, seeming extremely sad, and after a long while he slowly said:
"Fellow Taoists, the matter has come to this, the plan has failed, and this great opportunity is no longer available."
As soon as he opened his mouth, everyone became more silent. This was completely saying that Xiqi had been defeated. Jinxian Chanjiao had always been arrogant, how could he accept it now.
Jiang Ziya raised his head even more unwillingly: "Teacher, is there really no way to deal with Shen Xin now?"
Ran Deng did not speak easily when he heard this, but when he saw the real Huanglong howling on the flagpole from a distance, he became more and more dissatisfied, and almost failed to manage his expression.
Seeing this, Chi Jingjie and other golden immortals beside him shook their heads and said to Jiang Ziya:
"Ziya, now that Yin Shang has Zhao Gongming and the mysterious Daluo Jinxian guarding the camp, we can no longer plot against Shen Xin."
After saying that, he sighed feebly and looked over with Taoist Ran Deng's gaze.
"In the end, we were unable to escape from this calamity, which caused Xiqi to suffer."
"Failure is small at the moment, but the face of Luo Wu Chan's teaching is big. Master Huanglong is so embarrassed by Yin Shang, how can we bear it! I don't know who can understand his mistakes, especially the best."
"This..." Jiang Ziya shook his head helplessly after hearing this. He was powerless now.
Many of the powerful Jinxian brothers had no choice but to save the real Huanglong himself.
Lu Peng was silent for a moment. Suddenly, Chi Jing looked at his own Lu Peng and seemed to see something. He quickly spoke eagerly:
"Fellow Taoists, don't be sentimental. Although Huanglong was captured by the Yin Shang Dynasty, Zhao Jiang, one of the Ten Heavenly Lords, also fell into our hands."
"This is Xiqi's biggest bargaining chip!"
"Huh?" After hearing this, everyone became interested and asked hurriedly: "Brother Dao, please tell me what you have planned."
"For today's plan, there may be a remedy!" Chi Jingzhi held the yin-yang mirror in his hand, rubbed it slowly, and continued:
"Whether it is Shen Xin or Zhao Gongming, they are both people who value love and righteousness and are deeply supported by everyone. This is their strength, but it is also their weakness."
"Right now, we only need to summon Yin Shang, agree on a time, and bring Zhao Jiang with us in exchange for hostages. With this plan, Shen Xinding must be happy to accept it, and there will be no reason to refuse."
"Exchanging hostages?" Everyone pondered for a moment and nodded. This may be a way. As long as the other party keeps his word, he can also completely exchange the master Huang Long.
But just when Chanjiao Jinxian was about to make up his mind, the Randen Taoist beside him suddenly shook his head meaningfully.
"Although Fellow Daoist's move is good, what if Shen Xin secretly used a trick?"
"Putting all your hopes in the hands of others and expecting them to keep their promises is never advisable."
After hearing this, all the immortals of Chanjiao took it a step further and found out that this seems to be the truth. If the Yin Shang Dynasty played any conspiracy in this, wouldn't they become even more passive?
Afterwards, everyone looked at Taoist Ran Deng and asked, "Teacher, do you have any clever ideas?"
Taoist Ran Deng narrowed his eyes, nodded slightly, and said as if he was pointing:
"I heard that Taoist friend Yuding has a disciple named Yang Jian. He has mastered the magical power of protecting the Dharma of our Taoist sect. He has seventy-two kinds of transformation power. All birds and beasts in the world, mountains, rocks, grass and trees, yin and yang, and the five elements, everything can change. The beauty of its application lies in one mind."
"We can make him take the form of Zhao Jiang, coax Shen Xin, and take the opportunity to exchange for fellow Taoist Huanglong, and then he can escape on his own at night!"
"In this way, we can not only save Master Huanglong, but also prevent the other party from taking any advantage."
After saying that, Taoist Ran Deng shook his head alone again, with a hint of chill in his eyes as he continued:
"Instead of actually exchanging hostages with Yin Shang, it would be better to take this opportunity to set a trap and lure Shen Xin to the formation in person. While exchanging hostages, Yang Jian and Huang Long would suddenly take action and kill him by surprise. In this way, maybe Great things can happen!”
"..."
When everyone heard Ran Deng Taoist's thoughts, they suddenly became silent.
Good guy, I kept sighing in my heart, the teacher is indeed a teacher, worthy of being the deputy leader of Chanjiao, he is much more insidious than us.
Chi Jingmei just proposed an idea of exchanging hostages, but you changed it into an assassination plan.
It’s really shameless!
Under such circumstances, if Shen Xin was not prepared, he might really be assassinated on the spot, and even Zhao Gongming and other Da Luo Jinxian would not have a chance to come to the rescue.
Really vicious.
And when our Taoist Ran Deng came to face the complicated looks in everyone's eyes, he didn't care at all. Instead, he thought it was a compliment to himself and nodded repeatedly.
Jiang Ziya beside him was a little hesitant when he saw this, and slowly asked:
"Teacher, is this a bit too much..."
"You want to say shameless, right?" Taoist Ran Deng held the Dinghai Divine Pearl tightly in his hand, turned it back and forth, suddenly laughed, and said to Jiang Ziya:
"So what if you are shameless? As long as we can achieve our goal, we will do whatever it takes."
"Ziya, you must know the most important truth. The world will always remember the winners, while the losers will only be wiped out in the world like floating dust."
Taoist Ran Deng's attitude towards Dr. Shen has gradually changed at this moment. Judging from the previous events, he is not an ordinary person at all.
Everything originally was just an appearance, designed by Shen Xin.
Ran Deng didn't pay much attention to the previous plans, but since the Wuyi Mountain incident, Ran Deng Taoist's mentality has changed, completely changed.
He even listed Dr. Shen as a person more worthy of elimination than Zhao Gongming, because with him around, he felt uneasy!
Taoist Ran Deng's expression became colder and colder, and he said seriously to Jiang Ziya:
"No matter how shameless you are, winning is justice. As the saying goes, the winner is the king and the loser is the bandit."
"This is the eternal truth in the world."
Jiang Ziya sighed heavily, how could he not know this truth!
However, he has always regarded himself as a disciple of the Chan Cult and a righteous person, so using such tactics is a bit of a degradation of his status.
It’s just Shen Xin, can’t we defeat him on the battlefield?
But unfortunately, Jiang Ziya had to admit that the result was yes.
It seems that I really can't beat him...
Looking at Jiang Ziya's appearance, Taoist Ran Deng's expression softened slightly and he warned again:
"Ziya, don't think too much. Put down your so-called bottom line. If this plan fails, there is no need to worry. At least Taoist friend Huanglong has been rescued."
"Yin Shang and Zhao Gongming will naturally put the current debt on me and have nothing to do with you."
Taoist Randeng put away the Dinghai Divine Pearl in his hand without any burden, secretly summoned Yang Jian, and together with the other immortals, ordered the matter.
Yang Jian:"???"
When Yang Jian heard the news, his expression was not only shocked, but also shocked.
After waiting for a long time, he opened his mouth and waited for a long time, but in the end he didn't say anything.
But he knew in his heart that Taoist Ran Deng was clearly taking advantage of Doctor Shen's act of loyalty to carry out his calculations.
After listening silently for a moment, Yang Jian squinted his eyes, looked at the unconscious Zhao Jiang in the distance, then looked at the Randen Taoist in front of him, and sighed deeply.
Then, in front of everyone, he bowed and took orders.
"Disciple, you will definitely live up to the expectations of your teacher!"
…
Yin Shang's account.
Doctor Shen and Zhao Gongming had just returned to camp, and they immediately chose to convene the generals to discuss how to deal with Xiqi next.
The day before yesterday, Xiqi attacked the camp at night. Although Dr. Shen, Zhao Gongming, Kong Xuan and others turned the tide and defeated the Randen Taoist, they were really caught off guard.
In fact, the ordinary soldiers did not suffer too much damage, just because Doctor Shen stepped forward and attracted most of Xiqi's firepower for everyone, while Ran Deng, Jiang Ziya and others led their troops straight to the Yin Shang camp, preparing to capture the thieves and the king. .
However, in contrast, the Jie Jiao immortals were seriously injured. Chi Jingjing and other golden immortals of the Chan Jiao stopped outside the Shijue formation, and they were rushing to kill Shi Tianjun and break the formation.
The two sides are naturally fighting to the death, but without the protection of the formation, Shi Tianjun is no match against the Golden Immortal of Chanjiao.
Not only were everyone seriously injured, but they almost died. Even Zhao Jiang, the leader of the Earth Lie Formation, was captured alive by Chi Jingzhi using the Yin-Yang Mirror.
If Zhao Gongming hadn't appeared in time to help at the critical moment, I'm afraid Xiqi would have achieved their goal, killing the Ten Heavenly Lords outside the formation and breaking the Ten Jue Formation.
Even if Xiqi retreats at this moment, all the immortals will still have Yuji in mind.
There was silence in the tent for a moment, then Qin Wan suddenly spoke and asked Zhao Gongming with some doubts.
"Where did Brother Dao and Doctor Shen go? Why did they return to the business camp at this time? Could it be that there was an accident on the way?"
All the generals turned their heads and looked over.
"It's a long story."
When Zhao Gongming thought of this, his face turned red and he was very angry, so he told everyone about meeting Xiao Sheng and Cao Bao on Wuyi Mountain and being enchanted by the Dinghai Divine Pearl.
Come and try it quickly. 】
"That Taoist monk Ran Deng is really hateful. Not only did he sneak up on me and beat me a foot, but he also wanted to kill someone and silence me, thus harming Dr. Shen."
"In the end, under Pindao's desperate efforts, the other party had to retreat willingly."
"Now that there is no magic weapon to help me, I know that my strength is greatly reduced, so I and Dr. Shen went to my sister's place on Sanxian Island and borrowed her golden dragon shears."
Having said this, Zhao Gongming said bitterly:
"Tomorrow I must meet Lan Deng, regain my Dinghai Divine Pearl, and avenge the doctor."
When everyone heard Zhao Gongming talking about Ran Deng's secret attack, they already despised him, and when they heard that the other party was exposed, he wanted to kill Doctor Shen to silence him, which instantly aroused public outrage.
"What! Such a thing could happen!"
Qin Wan was furious, slapped the table and snorted coldly:
"What a burning lamp! How shameless!"
"I didn't expect that the deputy leader of Tangtang Chanjiao, Daluo Jinxian, would be such a villain!"
"You are truly unworthy of the name of morality!"
At this moment, even Kong Xuan, who was not far away, frowned and looked a little nervous. He really didn't expect that it would be so dangerous here. He regretted not following him to protect the doctor.
It wasn't until he saw Doctor Shen and Zhao Gongming sitting here safely that he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
People around him continued to come forward and sigh, and some even praised Dr. Shen:
"Dr. Shen, it's true that good people have heaven's blessings, and good people have heaven's help."
"Doctor Shen must be blessed if he survives the catastrophe."
"Hey, hey, wait..."
Dr. Shen started listening and felt something was wrong. Did our topic go astray?
Then the more he listened, the darker his face began to turn, and something was even more wrong.
By the way, these girls are such kind-hearted teammates, why are they cursing me?
No wonder this doctor has never been able to become a saint. It turns out that there are a lot of moles around him, and there are actually more ghosts than there are in Xiqi.
unacceptable!
Just when he coughed slightly and was about to say something, someone suddenly came to report from outside the tent.
It is said that Taoist priest Xiqi Randeng is outside the city at the moment and wants to ask Dr. Shen to come out of the camp to answer questions. He plans to exchange Zhao Jiang's life for the return of Master Huanglong to the camp.
As soon as this statement came out, the Yin Shang army instantly became confused, and the generals were talking about it. Almost everyone never expected that Xiqi would suddenly make such a suggestion.
Coincidentally, this is exactly what Shi Tianjun also wanted to propose, and he planned to use Zhenren Huanglong in exchange for Zhao Jiang.
But before they could speak, Xiqi was the first to propose a discussion.
He also asked Dr. Shen to come out to the camp in person to meet him. If there was nothing happening on Wuyi Mountain, everyone would not care.
Knowing the shameless tactics of Taoist Ran Deng and his desire to silence Dr. Shen, he couldn't help but think carefully about it.
Qin Wan thought for a moment, and his face changed slightly, looking very ugly. It was obvious that he had great disbelief in Xiqi and thought that there must be a plan.
Although Taoist Ran Deng's reasons are normal, there is nothing strange about exchanging Zhao Jiang for Master Huang Long.
But still can't be believed.
Qin Wan and the other Ten Heavenly Lords looked at each other and hurriedly stepped forward to remind:
"My lord, sir, now that Xiqi has suddenly asked us to talk about Daoist Friend Zhao, there must be some bad intentions in this. Please be careful now."
"We would rather find another way to save Fellow Daoist Zhao than to put Doctor Shen in danger."
Then, he revealed all the doubts in his heart.
Doctor Shen thought for a while and suddenly felt that what Qin Wan said made sense.
With the method of burning lanterns, a mere Huanglong real person may not be in his eyes at all, and whether it is life or death has nothing to do with it.
And even if he wants to save him, Xiqi has other ways, such as making Yang Jian transform and sneak into the Yin Shang Dynasty to save Huang Long.
Why exchange hostages with each other?
Therefore, there is a high chance that there is something wrong here, and it is obviously directed at yourself.
Dr. Shen thought for a while, if that was the case, wouldn't it be a great opportunity?
He wanted to cooperate with Ran Deng to see what the other party was up to.
After making the decision, Doctor Shen said without hesitation:
"Since Xiqi has sent people to negotiate, how can we ignore the safety of fellow Taoist Zhao."
"You don't need to persuade me. Let's set up our positions and meet with the Ran Deng Taoist for a while to see how he responds."
After Doctor Shen finished speaking, he and Zhao Gongming stepped forward to the battle and faced the burning lamp.
On the top of Xiqi, Nezha saw the figure of his adoptive father. He quietly reported to the canopy and lit the lamp to see that Zhao Gongming had known what he meant and smiled.
"Zhao Gongming has borrowed the golden dragon to cut it today."
After pondering for a moment, he continued: "You can't go out. I'll go see him myself. Everything will go according to plan."
After saying that, he climbed onto the immortal deer and walked away from the battlefield.
Not far away, before Ran Deng opened his mouth, Zhao Gongming had already ridden forward on a tiger to protect Dr. Shen, and shouted to Taoist Ran Deng:
"Randeng, please return the Dinghai Pearl to me, and everything will end. If you don't return it to me, I will definitely meet you as a male and female!"
Ran Deng snorted coldly and said disdainfully:
"This pearl is the treasure of Buddhism. I must take it now. You are on the left side of the path. How can you have the blessing and wisdom to suppress it! This pearl is still the treasure that we will wait for the path to enlightenment. You don't have to think too much."
"Come on down and get out of here quickly!"
After saying that, he waved his sleeves and robe towards Dr. Shen, bowed his head, and saluted slowly:
"I wonder if the doctor has ever thought about whether he is willing to save Zhao Jiang's life."
