Leaving aside the two battlefields of Daming Palace and Ci'en Temple for the time being, let us turn our attention to Fengzhuang outside Chang'an City.
Ever since they left the lively lantern festival during the day, Zou Qiwu and his daughter realized that there would definitely be big news in Chang'an next.
But what they never expected was that they had just experienced the "Double Dragon Battle" during the day, and two more fairy battlefields appeared one after another at night.
The first was the two streams of light in the direction of Ci'en Temple. Zou Qiwu knew just by looking at the golden streamers that it must be Pei Wende fighting someone.
Facing the rolling thunder and the blazing white light, the golden streamer incarnated by Pei Wende not only did not fall at a disadvantage, but took advantage of it.
This made Zou Qiwu and his daughter feel nervous, but they also breathed a sigh of relief.
After all, the dragon that appeared again not long ago caused too much noise, and it is inevitable that people will wonder whether Pei Wende is the opponent of the thunder that killed the dragon.
However, compared to Pei Wende who had the upper hand, the battle over the Daming Palace was somewhat incomprehensible to mortals like Zou Qiwu and his daughter.
"Dad, are those all Bodhisattvas?"
Staring at the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas filling the sky with confusion on her face, A Yueguang couldn't help but feel a sense of fascination just looking at that scene.
Especially after the giant god holding the sky appeared, the entire Chang'an seemed to have become a piece of rubble under their feet.
The battle between the Buddhas in the sky and the innate divinity is simply beyond the comprehension and imagination of ordinary people.
"If you ask me, I don't know either!"
Zou Qiwu, who was more confused than his own daughter, said this with a wry smile and rubbed Ah Yue's head.
Ah Yue has been practicing Qimen Dunjia with Pei Wende for some time. Although she has not yet started, she already has the possibility of becoming a Taoist.
But Zou Qiwu was a real mortal. Just witnessing the battle gave him the urge to prostrate and kneel down.
"That was the battle between the 'First Man in the World' and the 'Evil Monk of the Sacred Heart'."
Silently, Xuan Jue's figure suddenly appeared in front of Zou Qiwu and his daughter.
Along with Xuan Jue, Han Xiangzi, who was holding a purple gold jade flute, and Chi Huang, who was majestic and dignified, appeared together.
"Who are you!?"
Zou Qiwu, who was shocked, immediately grabbed his daughter and looked at the trio who suddenly appeared not far away with a wary expression.
"It doesn't matter who we are, what's important is that I know who you are."
Taking a step forward gently, Chi Huang simply waved his long sleeves, and a breeze with poisonous gas knocked Zou Qiwu and his daughter to the ground.
"..."
Frowning slightly, Han Xiangzi seemed dissatisfied with Chi Huang's actions, but he didn't say anything after all.
"With the two of them in hand, I don't have to worry about Pei Wende not handing over the 'Ascension Pill'."
Seemingly sensing Han Xiangzi's dissatisfaction, Chihuang immediately turned to explain to him in a low voice.
"After all, that 'Ascension Pill' contains all your essence, energy, and spirit..."
"Before you don't know Pei Wende's plans, it's always good to have some chips in hand."
Hearing this, Han Xiangzi just shook his head calmly.
"Chihuang, although I am not as smart as you, I can see Pei Wende's affection for your Majesty."
"We only need to tell Pei Wende truthfully that re-smelting and extracting the essence from the 'Ascension Pill' may resurrect His Majesty. There is no reason for him to disagree."
Facing Han Xiangzi's doubts, a smile suddenly bloomed on Chi Huang's face.
Valley
"Han Xiangzi, people's hearts are separated from each other, let alone the 'Ascension Pill', a top-quality elixir that can make people live forever."
"Taking a step back, even if Pei Wende is really willing to resurrect His Majesty, how can he trust us?"
"Isn't he afraid that we will take the opportunity to swallow the 'Ascension Pill' and completely destroy the hope of His Majesty's resurrection?"
I have to admit that Chi Huang's words do make some sense.
This is the same as Pei Wende's "Dark Forest Theory" in his previous life. The chain of suspicion exists at all times.
Especially when both sides are suspicious of the other, it is extremely difficult for one of them to be the first to let go of their doubts.
[Besides, does Xuan Jue really want to seize the Ascension Pill in order to resurrect His Majesty? 】
Chi Huang did not say anything about the last question, but she believed that Han Xiangzi would be able to think of it with his wisdom.
Chihuang didn't doubt Xuan's feelings for His Majesty, just like she didn't doubt her feelings for Han Xiangzi at all.
But the question is, how many monsters in the world have such trust in Xuan Jue?
Once the news of His Majesty's death spreads, the first thing those big demons who have little trust in Xuan Jue will probably do is to snatch the "Ascension Pill".
As for whether they swallow it themselves?
Or is it used to resurrect Your Majesty?
Only God knows.
Anyway, Chihuang has no trust in those big monsters. She believes that Xuan Jue must have the same reason to get the "Ascension Pill" back at all costs.
"So, this is why I don't want to go out..."
Staring at the two mortals who fell to the ground not far away with complex expressions, Han Xiangzi murmured slightly unwillingly after a long time.
More than twenty years ago, the reason why Han Xiangzi chose to join the Taoist sect and escape to Mount Zhongnan to practice Buddhism was because he had witnessed his uncle being burdened by court disputes and being demoted from the capital several times.
But what he didn't expect was that after finally escaping the dispute in the court, he would see similar suspicion among a group of monsters.
"Monasticism is never the answer."
Silently listening to the conversation between Han Xiangzi and Chi Huang, Xuan Jue, who had not spoken until he opened his mouth, directly hit the crux of Han Xiangzi's heart that he was unwilling to face.
"When you told me that you wanted to become a monk and practice Buddhism, I knew you just wanted to escape."
"However, Li Ningyang said that you have a chance to be with you. Now that the fate is over, it is only a matter of time before you enter the Tao."
When he said this, Xuan Jue's tone paused slightly before continuing.
"Just like this time, it was Li Ningyang who said that he understood the secret of heaven and knew that you must go to the mortal world, so I took you back to Chang'an."
"I don't know what the 'opportunity' Li Ningyang talks about..."
"But I know that if you are still unwilling to face the crux of your heart, you will not be able to see it even if the opportunity is right in front of you."
The words were not rough, but Xuan Jue's slightly stern tone scolded Han Xiangzi as if he were an elder.
This made Chi Huang, who was still speculating about the relationship between the two, suddenly light up, and he also became interested in the "Li Ningyang" mentioned by Xuan Jue.
In Chi Huang's impression, there seems to be no great demon named Li Ningyang in the world?
In other words, Li Ningyang, who is suspected to be Han Xiangzi's elder, is not a certain great demon that he knows.
