After the two Tianzuns left, Xue Tianqing also jumped up and chased Sanzang and his party.
But when he caught up with everyone, he saw Tang Sanzang crying secretly.
On the hillside not far away, five corpses were laid out. They were the five demons of Qianfu Mountain who had just followed them.
Although the five demons died, there was no external injury at all. If it were not for the lack of soul fluctuations, anyone would have thought that they were just sleeping.
Farther away, Bajie and Sha Seng were fighting together with a man.
Although the two men's cultivation levels are comparable to those of men, the opponent's movements are extremely strange and they can often appear in unexpected places in an instant.
In addition, the man would throw out a kind of black flame from time to time, which gradually put the two at a disadvantage.
After looking at the corpses of the five demons, Xue Tianqing came to the two of them without even saying hello to Tang Monk: "Stand back!"
Seeing that it was Xue Tianqing, the two of them were overjoyed: "Senior brother, we were on our way when this man suddenly jumped out from the roadside and asked about the way. Ling Kongzi and others came forward to ask, but he burned away their souls. Senior Brother Qian Be careful."
After the two of them retreated, Xue Tianqing came to the man and said, "Are you going to commit suicide or let me send you to the underworld?"
The man smiled and said, "What a big sigh. You must be the Sun Wukong who stole the Dinghai Shente, right? If you can beat me in one and a half moves, I will let you go west. But if you can't win, then just stay here."
Xue Tianqing looked at the man coldly: "Aren't you here for Tang Monk's meat?"
The man laughed loudly: "The flesh of a broken monk can make people immortal? Only a fool can believe this! Sir, I am here today just to seek justice for heaven!"
Xue Tianqing sneered: "It turns out that Heaven sent us to make things difficult for us. If that's the case, don't blame me for being rude!"
After speaking, he first put his hands together, and then opened them slightly, and Dinghai Shente appeared in his hands.
The man nodded: "This is the Dinghai Divine Iron. I heard that the Heavenly Court has been giving you a lot of trouble for this matter. If I bring the Divine Iron to Lingxiao Palace, what official position do you think the Jade Emperor will give me?"
"You'd better think carefully about where you will be reborn in your next life!"
After Xue Tianqing said that, she picked up the magic iron in her pocket and started hitting him. When the man saw this, he raised his gun and wanted to pull the magic iron out.
Unexpectedly, the next moment there was only a scream. Not only was the man's spear broken into two pieces, but his head was also beaten into pieces.
Looking at the corpse that fell to the ground, not to mention Bajie and Sha Seng, even Xue Tianqing himself was stunned.
It took him a long time to come back to his senses: "Did you die like this?"
Bajie scratched his head: "It seems to be dead. Senior brother, have you ever had any adventures? How did you send this thief to the underworld with just one stick?"
Xue Tianqing shook his head and said: "What kind of adventure was there? It's true that I almost couldn't come back, but what's going on with this guy?"
"You were beaten to death. Isn't it too late to ask what happened? Senior brother, let's take a look at Xingxian and the others. Their bodies are fine. You have a good relationship with the underworld. See if you can bring their souls back. .”
Xue Tianqing shook her head, because the souls of the five people were burned clean instead of going to the underworld. Even if Black and White wanted to give it to them, they had nowhere to find it.
Fortunately, the five of them are herb elves. Although their souls have dissipated, their bodies still exist, so as long as they are well nourished, new souls will be born.
After Xue Tianqing finished explaining, he asked Sha Monk to put the bodies of the five people away and then stood motionless in front of the man.
Not long after, Bajie packed his luggage and said, "Senior brother, let's go."
"Wait a little longer, we have to find out who owes our debt."
After another half an hour, the underworld messenger showed up.
Xue Tianqing looked at the leading ghost general and shook his head: "You are too slow this time."
The ghost general smiled bitterly: "It's not our fault, because this person should not have entered reincarnation."
Xue Tianqing said, "Who is he?"
"The son of the powerful Bull Demon King, the Holy Face of the Bull."
Xue Tianqing was stunned: "The son of the Bull Demon King? How many sons does he have?"
"Two, this is his eldest son, and there is also a younger son, Niu Shengying."
Seeing that Xue Tianqing was silent, the ghost general continued: "Although the Bull Demon King has not entered the immortal class, his cultivation level is rare in this world. You must be careful in the future."
Xue Tianqing nodded: "Just now you said Niu Shengrong didn't deserve to die. What's going on?"
The ghost general shook his head: "I don't know either. This person originally had two hundred and sixty-one years to live, but now I ask you to send him away directly."
"What will happen?"
The ghost general shook his head: "I don't know. This kind of thing has never happened since the creation of the underworld. This is the first time in the world."
Xue Tianqing patted the ghost general on the shoulder: "Then what to do with this person's soul?"
The ghost general smiled bitterly: "To tell you the truth, the underworld is in chaos now. When I came, the ten palaces of Yama had already gathered in the Yama Palace and were discussing countermeasures."
Xue Tianqing said in surprise: "Is it so powerful?"
"I heard that there is something wrong with the Book of Life and Death. The specific abnormality is not something I, a ghost general, can know."
After speaking, the ghost general stretched out his hand to pull out the soul of Niu Shengrong from his body: "There are still many things in the underworld that need to be dealt with by the young general, so I won't talk more with you."
Seeing that the ghost was about to hand over his soul to his hands, Xue Tianqing suddenly asked: "By the way, I remember that the souls in the past were separated from the body after death. What happened to him?"
"This is a true violent death. The body can still nourish the soul, so the soul will not leave the body immediately."
A long time after the ghost general left, Xue Tianqing came back to his senses when Sha Monk called: "Junior Brother Sha, did anything unusual happen when I fought against Niu Shengrong just now?"
Seeing Sha Seng shaking his head, Xue Tianqing became more and more puzzled. How could it be possible that he was as capable as two junior brothers but was beaten to death by himself?
Finally, he burned Niu Shengrong's body to ashes and led Sanzang to continue westward.
Xue Tianqing didn't understand what happened, and the people in the underworld also didn't understand what happened.
When Niu Shengrong's soul was brought into the Yama Hall, the ten halls of Yama had already gathered.
Seeing King Yama in the middle nodding, the ghost general stretched out his hand and released the restrictions on the Holy Face of Niu.
As soon as the restraint was released, Niu Shengrong opened his mouth and wanted to scream.
But before he could say anything, the ghost general slapped him: "How can we allow you to be so presumptuous in the Palace of Yama?"
King Yama waved his hand to signal the ghost generals to retreat: "Niu Shengrong, what exactly happened, please tell me in detail!"
Although Yan Luo's voice was not loud, it had a calming feeling, which made Niu Shengrong, who was still a little dissatisfied, completely calm down.
"Reporting this to Lord Yan, I don't even know what's going on."
"Don't you know why you intercepted Tang Sanzang and then took the lives of the five demons of Qianfu Mountain?"
"Of course I know this, but I don't know why I came to the underworld!"
"Then use what you know to practice."
Niu Shengrong lives in Bajiao Cave in Cuiyun Mountain. His father is the powerful Bull Demon King and his mother is Princess Iron Fan.
Since he was sensible, he has been practicing martial arts with his parents in order to become famous in the three worlds in the future.
Three years ago, the Bull Demon King told him that if he wanted to get ahead, he must not stay at home, but must go out to practice, so that he could know the gap between himself and the outside masters.
In this way, Niu Shengrong left Basho Cave and began to wander around the world for three years.
During this period, he also did a lot of good deeds in slaying demons and demons, and gained some fame. He felt somewhat elated.
Just two days ago, Niu Shengrong, who was walking aimlessly eastward, was blocked by someone.
The visitor told him that Sun Wukong was protecting Tang San from Tibet to Lingshan Mountain.
Almost everyone knew that Xue Tianqing protected Tang Monk from obtaining scriptures, so Niu Shengrong did not intend to pay attention to the visitor.
Who would have thought that this person would tell him that before Sun Wukong protected Tang Monk, he had stolen Heaven's Sea-Suppressing Iron, putting the Three Realms in danger at any time.
Originally, the Jade Emperor planned to send someone to retrieve the divine iron immediately, but Sun Wukong was the first to join Tang Monk's disciples, leaving Heaven in a dilemma.
If he desperately retrieves the divine iron, Heaven and Buddhism will most likely be at war with each other.
But if the Divine Iron is allowed to be in the hands of Sun Wukong, the mortal world may fall into catastrophe at any time.
Niu Shengrong had also heard about the several battles between Xue Tianqing and Tianting.
And we also know that the main reason why Heavenly Court is like this is to return the Divine Iron to its place.
But he was very doubtful. If Tianting really wanted to get back the Divine Iron, there would be no way to get back Sun Wukong.
Seeing that Niu Shengrong didn't believe it, the person who came directly revealed his identity. It turned out that he was Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun of Heaven.
Erlang Shen told Niu Shengrong that the only way to retrieve the Divine Iron now is to pretend to be a monster, take the opportunity to seize the Divine Iron, and go to heaven to ask the Jade Emperor for credit.
Seeing that Erlang's words were true, Niu Shengrong finally believed his words, but he just didn't understand why Heaven would find him.
Although he has eradicated many monsters in the past three years, he is not arrogant enough to think that he is invincible.
Xue Tianqing has made Tianting disgraced several times. Can she be his opponent?
Yang Jian told Niu Shengrong that he was the only one in the world who was confident of dealing with Xue Tianqing, because the fire of Jiuyou could directly burn his soul to ashes.
Niu Shengrong's Nine Nether Fire and Niu Shengying's Three Flavors True Fire are both innate skills that have been possessed since birth. Different from the Three Flavors True Fire, the Nine Nether Fires burn the opponent's soul, and Xue Tianqing only uses it because the soul is too powerful. Let heaven be helpless.
Yang Jian also told Niu Shengrong that today's Xue Tianqing is like a street rat. If he hadn't joined Buddhism, he would have been cut into pieces.
Although Heavenly Court also wanted to appoint experts to kill him, on the one hand, it was not easy to hear the news, and on the other hand, it was difficult to take action because he was nominally a disciple of Buddhism.
So the Jade Emperor assigned Yang Jian to go down to the lower realms to search for the master, intercept Tang Sanzang on his way to obtain scriptures, then get rid of Xue Tianqing, and welcome the divine iron back to heaven.
Because of Niu Shengrong's reputation, Yang Jian had been to the Bajiao Cave as early as a year ago, but failed.
From then on, Yang Jian began to search for Niu Shengrong all over the world, and finally met him a year later.
Finally, after getting an order from Yang Jian that allowed him to enter and leave the Nantian Gate, Niu Shengrong stopped Sanzang and his party who were traveling westward, and took the lives of the five people in Qianfu Mountain.
Yan Jun frowned when he heard this: "How did you die?"
