After Cao Zhe passed down Haoran's righteousness, his journey was not without purpose.
Instead, he came straight to Jinling and flew to the imperial mausoleum at the southern foot of Purple Mountain.
The air of luck in the sky above the imperial mausoleum has indeed become much thinner.
Cao Zhe snorted coldly, and assembled the innate formation on Purple Mountain that had not dispersed, covering all directions, first forming a gradually shrinking cage.
Based on Confucianism, it is actually the right way to express the awe-inspiring spirit in the heart, which is not applicable at this time.
Because what Cao Zhe will deal with next is not a demon, let alone a ghost.
They are fellow Taoists who also practice Taoism and practice Qi to become immortals.
When the formation is enveloped, a yellow paper crane will fly out of the formation and fly away through the clouds.
Cao Zhe didn't move his position. With his five fingers contracting, he had already grasped the paper crane.
In the blink of an eye, the paper crane exploded into a ball of evil karma in Cao Zhe's palm, and someone hidden in it retreated and disappeared again.
The bad karma turned into fire and was about to burn Cao Zhe's whole body.
Cao Zhe gathered a little bit of strong wind at the tip of his finger, and threw the evil fire out, shooting it into the sky, where it was slowly digested in the clouds.
The brass magic sword on his waist made a clear sound, turning into hundreds of handles and circling around, like a sword dragon.
Pointing to somewhere outside the imperial mausoleum, Cao Zhe said, "Come out! You have been exposed."
After the voice fell, no one was seen.
Cao Zhe was not in a hurry, but continued to seal off the surrounding area. There was no way to evacuate even from heaven to earth.
"You're not just exposed!"
"And I also know who you are and what your identity is, and you have been hiding around us." Cao Zhe said.
"It's you! Jing Long!"
"Or...Xu Hongru, Xu Zhenren!" Cao Zhe revealed the identity of the hidden person in one breath.
“There were a lot of things that I didn’t think through at first.”
"For example, the Demon Queen has been doing evil for many years. Although she has done many evil deeds and deserved her death, why did she suddenly reach the point where everyone is shouting for beatings? It can be said to be 'accumulation' to a certain extent, but it can also be regarded as someone doing it deliberately and guiding her intentionally. .”
"Using the Demon Queen as bait, the world was moved, and even the attention of heaven and earth was diverted. And you took advantage of this opportunity to build a plank road openly and covertly to infiltrate Chencang!"
"The Demon Queen once deceived Emperor Qiande and stole his destiny as emperor. Therefore, as a demon body, she was protected by luck. But you... Jinglong, your appearance is still a flaw, even though you told me, It was because the Demon Queen had drowned the prince in the well several times in an attempt to make up for this loophole. But this statement still could not completely convince me. So, I had doubts at that time, of course... I was just doubtful at first, You are originally a subordinate of the Queen Mother."
"Until the battle at Purple Mountain, in that battle...you revealed a bigger flaw."
When Cao Zhe said this, his eyes had already locked onto the position.
He found the whereabouts of Jing Long...or Xu Hongru.
The sword light flew quickly, the shadow of the sword passed by, and a figure dodged awkwardly.
When the sword shadow struck, he dodged seven times in succession, leaving behind seven bodies to withstand Cao Zhe's flying sword.
And his fallen body was like a sticky substance that temporarily stuck Cao Zhe's magic sword, making it impossible to summon it back by any means.
"You actually saw through it!"
"I pride myself on having a very high regard for you... Xuan Xuanzi, but I still underestimate your wisdom." Jing Long's face showed a different look than before.
It seemed particularly gloomy and deep.
"That's right! Xu Hongru, a poor Taoist, has met a Taoist friend." Jing Long's white clothes changed and returned to a white Taoist robe. The strange fragrance lingered, and the hidden method was quietly used on Cao Zhe.
Xu Hongru deliberately talked to Cao Zhe, telling him about his arrangements over the years.
"Everything has to start from sixty years ago. At that time, Qian De visited the south of the Yangtze River three times and was nostalgic for beauty. Ping Dao was driven by the leader of the White Lotus to contact the Holy Girl in order to capture Qian De in one fell swoop and use Qian De to shake up the Ming Dynasty. "
The White Lotus Sect can be considered a professional rebellion!
There are many factions under the sect. In addition, the Wenxiang Sect and the Wusheng Sect are all closely related to it.
In the final analysis, it can also be regarded as a game between Buddhism and Taoism, as well as the penetration and subversion of human nature by certain immortal and Buddhist forces.
One or two more rises are also related to certain power struggles in heaven.
Cao Zhe also pretended not to notice Xu Hongru's hidden hand and listened to him continue.
Although Cao Zhe was aware of Jing Long, that is, Xu Hongru's secret plot, he deduced it through some of the actions and behaviors of the Demon Queen.
Cao Zhe was still curious about what happened during this process.
"I think you should have a little understanding of it next."
"Qiande has true feelings for the Saint, and the Saint is already interested in Qiande... I have to say that the protection of luck is really incredible. The White Lotus Saint... is so proud and has such a great future. Practitioners, after getting mixed up with this virtue, mess up their minds, and their worldly minds will split their souls."
Xu Hongru's words solved one of Cao Zhe's doubts.
It turns out that the Demon Queen's two souls were not born in one body, but were formed by splitting her soul.
The subtle fragrance is getting stronger, but the sense of smell is getting thinner.
Only Cao Zhe knew that all the vitality around him was being 'exaggerated'.
When this kind of rendering reaches its highest concentration, this place will completely become Xu Hongru’s home court.
His spell power will be greatly enhanced.
However, Cao Zhe's use of magic can only consume his own mana, but cannot communicate the magnificent energy between heaven and earth, which seems to be greatly reduced.
"Next, the White Lotus Sect carried out an assassination attempt on Qian De. Murong Lan, the strongest swordsman at the time, was the main attacker and was supposed to be infallible. However, he was blocked by the Saint. She used the White Lotus Body Washing Technique to forcefully exchange places with Qian De. The Saint The sword in the woman's heart cut off her life, but Qiande dodged the fatal blow and waited for the help of the then national master Ti Xuan Zhenren." When Xu Hongru said this, he suddenly stopped talking.
Suddenly, he was in trouble.
Amidst the bursts of fragrance, Cao Zhe seemed to see a bodhisattva with a fox tail, sitting on the lotus platform, smiling compassionately at him.
And in this smile, there is an endless meaning of death.
"It is better to suffer all the suffering in this life than to live in the next life. Only after you have overcome all the suffering can you enter the ultimate happiness!"
The sound of chanting is endless.
Cao Zhe laughed loudly: "That's it?"
The light of the sword in his hand was mighty, and the true energy and magic power vibrated together.
As the thunder flashed, the Bodhisattva and the strange fragrance were all shaken away.
Cao Zhe could not rely on outside power.
But with his magic power and Qi alone, he is already fearless and unafraid.
Xu Hongru didn't really want to defeat Cao Zhe. He had magical powers and could know many secret things.
He already knew how powerful Cao Zhe was.
This method is used just to find an opportunity to escape.
But when he flew out of a mountain forest and saw the 'second' Cao Zhe coming towards him, his eyes completely changed.
His originally calm expression became no longer so determined.
Generally speaking, the clone technique can see through the difference between the main body and the clone.
However, Xu Hongru had no idea whether the Cao Zhe he was talking to just now was his true form, or whether the Cao Zhe in front of him who was once again blocking his way was his real body.
"Should I let you go before the story is finished?"
"If you break the chapter, you will be sent a razor blade!"
