Although Sun Wukong's piercing eyes couldn't see any problems, Zhang Xiuneng was sure that there was definitely something wrong with the Xuan Lingzi in front of him.
After all, since the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, there has been no precedent for emperors seeking immortality and being granted the title of Imperial Master.
This time the emperor suddenly became obsessed with Taoism, and he must have been fascinated by Xuan Lingzi.
Even the second prince could see the problem, and Zhang Xiu could also see it. His only worry now was how good this Xuan Lingzi was.
If we fight him in the palace, how many casualties will be caused.
Thinking in his mind, Zhang Xiu and others were led into the Tai Chi Hall.
Seeing Zhang Xiu and Xuan Lingzi, the emperor frowned slightly: "National Master, do you think the Holy Master in front of you is a monster pretending to be a monster?"
Xuan Lingzi nodded with an indifferent expression: "Your Majesty does not know something. Now that the demon has been born, the heaven is in trouble. Now all the gods in the sky are pretending to be the demon's subordinates, including the so-called holy master Zhang Xiu in front of you."
Zhang Xiu was surprised when he heard this. He didn't know who Xuan Lingzi's true identity was yet, but his ability to confuse right and wrong was quite a bit like his demeanor back then!
After hearing this, the emperor's face changed drastically, and his eyes showed a look of deep panic: "Even the heaven has been attacked. Who else in this world can subdue the devil?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't panic, don't listen to the nonsense of this monster. There are no gods, demons, etc. in this world. They are just myths and stories."
The emperor was slightly startled, but quickly calmed down, and then looked at Zhang Xiu: "The stranger next to you is..."
Zhang Xiu turned around and said, "Oh, he is Sun Wukong."
Emperor: "@#￥%￥#@......"
Looking at the messy face of the emperor, Zhang Xiu continued: "No kidding, the Imperial Master next to you is the minion of the demon. I didn't expect that the demon has already started to attack the human world. Fortunately, I came in time, 豼He’s not completely under his control yet.”
The emperor looked at Xuan Lingzi and then at Zhang Xiu with a confused look, as if he didn't know who to believe.
Seeing his hesitation, the second prince said anxiously: "Father, the Holy Master is the real one, let me deal with this demon!"
The emperor glared at him: "I am the emperor!"
The second prince clenched his fist angrily: "Father, you will regret it!"
The emperor snorted with dissatisfaction, glanced at Zhang Xiu and Xuan Lingzi, and said: "The holy master has boundless magic power, and the national master also has great supernatural powers. Since you two say that the other is the claw of the demon, let's have a competition and let me see. Find out who the bad guy is."
Xuan Lingzi said calmly: "Pindao accepts the order."
Zhang Xiu glanced at him unexpectedly and didn't know where he got the confidence. He smiled and said, "Since you are willing to fight with me, that's the best thing. Should we fight with words or with force?"
Xuan Lingzi said: "What about a literary fight, what about a military fight?"
Zhang Xiu said with a smile: "I will go to the West to invite the Eighteen Arhats, the Four Bodhisattvas, plus one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers, and the Four Heavenly Kings. You can fight a group of us by yourself."
For the first time, Xuan Lingzi's face showed fluctuations in expression, and the corners of his eyes twitched slightly as he said, "Then let's do Wen Dou."
Zhang Xiu breathed a sigh of relief and said: "In that case, let's go outside the city to compete in spells, and the emperor will be the referee."
Xuan Lingzi nodded, and soon, the emperor ordered two altars to be set up outside the city, and moved to the outskirts to watch the two men fight.
Zhang Xiu and Xuan Lingzi stood on two altars respectively, looking at each other from afar.
The emperor was sitting on a chariot under the protection of the royal guards. The second prince standing next to him had anger still on his face.
After looking at the second prince, the emperor said in a low voice with a slightly solemn expression: "Your Majesty, if something changes later, you can run away immediately and don't worry about your father."
The second prince's expression froze and he looked at the emperor in disbelief: "Father, you..."
The emperor sighed helplessly: "I don't know how many civil and military people in the entire dynasty have been controlled by demons. If I don't become a little stupid, how can I persist until the arrival of the Holy Master..."
The second prince looked at him with mixed emotions for a while, and then realized that his father's previous mediocrity was all disguised, and then said with a firm face: "Father, the Holy Master will win."
In the distance, Zhang Xiu looked relaxed on the altar.
By getting Xuan Lingzi out of the city, his goal has been achieved. Regardless of whether he can win the battle, at least it will not affect the people.
Zhang Xiu relaxed his nervousness and shouted to Xuan Lingzi with a smile: "What should we compete with in the first round?"
Xuan Lingzi stood with his hands behind his back and said with great confidence: "Compete with your best in the first round."
Zhang Xiu was stunned: "Better than rebellion?"
Xuan Lingzi: "@#￥%￥#@......"
What we are competing against is magic. It is magic. What the hell is it compared to rebellion? Can this thing be compared? !
Seeing Xuan Lingzi's stern expression, which was almost unbearable, Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said: "In the first game, let's compete for rain."
Sun Wukong on the side couldn't help laughing, "Qiu Yu, he's familiar. He hasn't been to the Dragon Palace for a long time, and it looks like he's going to trouble the old Dragon King again."
Xuan Lingzi nodded slightly and picked up a yellow talisman with his wooden sword. As the yellow talisman spontaneously ignited, the sky was filled with dark clouds. One command was for the wind to rise, two for the rain to come, and three for the rain to stop and the clouds to disperse.
During the whole process, Sun Wukong did not see any gods in the sky. Sun Wukong, who was originally preparing to leave his body to destroy his prayer for rain, could not help but froze in place.
"This demonic way really has some skills..."
Sun Wukong looked at Zhang Xiu worriedly, feeling that Zhang Xiu was probably having a hard time this time.
Zhang Xiu gave him a reassuring look, waved his long sleeves and used the water control technique, and a drizzle immediately fell from the sky. He said proudly: "The first game is considered a draw, and it is up to you to decide the next game."
Xuan Lingzi slowly released the finger trick in his sleeve, and before he could destroy it, Zhang Xiu asked for rain. Even he didn't see what method Zhang Xiu used, and he couldn't help but feel anxious in his heart. Confuse.
As far as he knew, Zhang Xiu's spells shouldn't be that good...
Xuan Lingzi thought for a moment and took out a red gourd: "There is a flying knife in this gourd. As long as you chant the incantation, you can decapitate people. If you survive my knife, you will win."
Zhang Xiu looked at the expressionless Xuan Lingzi and couldn't help but be in a daze: "Immortal-killing flying knife?"
A glimmer of light bloomed in Xuan Lingzi's eyes: "You actually know this magic weapon."
Zhang Xiu couldn't help but twitch his eyelids when he saw him admitting it himself, and said, "It's not interesting to compete like this. Why don't we try another method?"
Xuan Lingzi said: "How do you want to compare?"
Zhang Xiu said seriously: "I also have a flying knife here, which can kill gods and Buddhas. You use your flying knife to kill the devil, and I use mine to kill the Buddha. Whoever gets their head first will count." Who wins!"
Xuan Lingzi: "..."
Sun Wukong: "..."
Let’s not talk about whether this thing can be done or not. You don’t even blink when you sell Buddha!
