Faced with the slightly guilty smile of his beloved disciple, Master Taiyi mercilessly exposed it.
"Dharma protector? Huh, if you can keep this cave safe and sound, I will be thankful to God. Tell me, which god is being 'taken care of' by you this time?"
Taiyi Zhenren had a faint smile on his lips. As he spoke, he stretched his muscles leisurely and waved his whisk lightly, as if even the air was filled with an otherworldly aura.
He has always turned a blind eye to the harmless little troubles of his disciples. After all, with his cultivation at this point and the support of his saintly master, there are not many things in the world that can really worry him.
Upon seeing this, Nezha knew that the master was not really angry, so he quickly stepped forward and used his actions to make up for the lack of words. He quickly lit a fire and boiled water, preparing to make a pot of good tea to show his filial piety.
Amidst the slurping of tea, he revealed the truth in an understatement: "Hey, it's actually nothing serious. It's just that my hand slipped and I accidentally beat the third prince of the Dragon King of the East China Sea to death."
After saying this, he looked at his master expectantly, hoping to get some relief or guidance from him.
Upon hearing this, Master Taiyi's face changed slightly. As soon as he took off the fly whisk, his whole body leaned back as if he had lost support in an instant. He almost fell down and exclaimed involuntarily: "Oh my god, this..."
He knew very well that although the Dragon Clan did not show off on the surface, it actually had a profound foundation. Especially since the Dragon Clan's true power was suppressing Guixu, it was the important task of maintaining the water system of heaven, earth, and water that no one could shake.
Once the dragon clan becomes angry and rushes out, the water system in the world will collapse, and the consequences will be unimaginable. Even a saint will not be able to easily bear the responsibility.
However, he then thought that a mere third prince might not be enough to trigger a comprehensive counterattack by the Dragon Clan.
Master Taiyi quickly adjusted his mentality, took the fly whisk from Nezha, sat down again, and concealed his inner turmoil with a wry smile: "I'm so old, I can't even hold things steady.
Don’t worry, although this matter is difficult, it is not a big trouble.”
After that, he closed his eyes and concentrated, clasped his hands together, and silently recited the Qingxin Mantra in his mouth, trying to calm the turmoil in his heart.
"The apprentice I accepted with my own hands, the apprentice I accepted with my own hands..."
Nezha looked relaxed and poured tea for the master with a smile: "What a big trouble this is. Didn't Ao Guang want to complain to heaven? I stopped him halfway outside the Nantian Gate and gave him a good 'teaching'. Now he sees
Take a detour on the road to heaven."
When Master Taiyi heard this, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly, and he glanced sideways at this apprentice who was acting out of common sense.
Good guy! What a good guy!
But who is he? Taiyi Zhenren, one of the most powerful people in the world!
"Forget it, it's not a big deal!" He waved his hands pretending to be calm, but then his heart tightened, as if he had an ominous premonition, and he quickly asked: "But, what happens next?"
Nezha saw the master's expression was different, and a sly smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He first respectfully handed a cup of hot tea to the master's hand, and then continued to speak after the master opened the lid of the tea and tasted it carefully:
"Oh, by the way, I also sneaked into the fairyland of Yaochi and turned into a bumblebee. Seeing that the Jade Emperor was unhappy, I rushed over and stung him all over his body!"
"Clang!" There was a crisp sound, the tea cup fell to the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.
"Master, are you okay?" Nezha quickly stepped forward and asked with concern.
Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly picked up the tea cup, with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Haha, it's okay, this tea is too hot. By the way, you haven't been discovered by those gods, have you?"
Nezha winked playfully, tilted his head, and said cutely: "That was not discovered, but besides, I have made a good friend, named Yang Jian, who is a disciple of Uncle Yuding.
I heard that he also killed the Jade Emperor’s eldest son, the Golden Crow.”
"Crack!" This time, the tea cup in Master Taiyi's hand was completely out of control and came into close contact with the ground again. While he was muttering "It's okay, it's okay, it's just a little storm", he suddenly woke up: "What?! Then
Did the Jade Emperor send people to arrest you? How many people did he send?"
Nezha looked serious and held out a finger: "Not much, only one hundred thousand!"
"Ouch, oh my god~!" Master Taiyi exaggeratedly covered his chest, his body softened, and he lay down directly on the ground. He rolled his eyes and seemed to have paused his breathing for a moment.
"Master, Master! Are you okay?" Nezha rushed over and used all his strength to help Master Taiyi up, fearing that he would make a mistake.
After a while, Master Taiyi barely managed to stabilize his body, and he gently picked up Nezha, placed him on the futon where he was sitting, and said with a smile: "Oh, please sit down, please sit down, let me
You were frightened, what a sin!"
As he spoke, he also beat Nezha's shoulders himself, gently and carefully.
Nezha looked stunned, with confusion written all over his face: "Master, what's wrong with you? Why are you so polite to your disciples all of a sudden?"
Master Taiyi couldn't laugh or cry, so he corrected him: "You should be my master!" After saying that, he turned behind Nezha and began to beat his legs, and he did not forget to say: "I frightened you.
I’m frightened, is this strength okay?”
Nezha became even more confused: "Master, are you so scared?"
When Master Taiyi heard this, he stiffened his neck. Although his voice was loud, he obviously lacked confidence: "Am I afraid? Who have I been afraid of? Even if the Jade Emperor comes in person, I... I'm not afraid of him. Who am I afraid of?
?”
Speaking of this, Master Taiyi's voice gradually became lower, and a trace of worry flashed in his eyes: "Master of the Three Realms, you actually gave him a bite... This... How can I say good to you?
?I'd better drink some water first to calm down the shock."
After that, he hurriedly walked aside, picked up the teapot, and poured cup after cup into his mouth, as if this could alleviate the panic in his heart a little.
After he calmed down a little, he suddenly remembered the business, hugged Nezha into his arms, and asked eagerly: "Tell me, who did they send to arrest you?"
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nezha blinked his big eyes, thought carefully and then replied: "There is Marshal Tianpeng, and there is the Jade Emperor's son."
"Oh, just a son?" After hearing this, Master Taiyi showed a relaxed smile on his face.
Nezha shook his head quickly and added: "No, Master, the Nine Golden Crows have been dispatched and are now searching for us everywhere in the Three Realms."
"What?!" Master Taiyi's eyes suddenly widened, and then his body softened and he leaned back, and he fainted just like that.
"Master!" Nezha was shocked when he saw this. He rushed forward, pinched him, slapped him on the back, poured water into his mouth, and tried to input magic power to help him wake up.
After a long time, Master Taiyi finally woke up from his coma, squirted out a mouthful of water, and then murmured to himself: "It's not a big trouble, it's not a big trouble! As long as the Jade Emperor hasn't seen through your true identity,
There is still room for change.”
He pulled Nezha to him and ordered with a stern expression: "You, return to Chentangguan immediately and stay here for me, and don't cause trouble anymore!
I also want to practice in seclusion and wait until I have mastered my magic skills before making any plans, do you understand me?"
Nezha looked puzzled: "Master, are you so nervous? In the worst case, why don't we go to Master's place to avoid the limelight?"
Master Taiyi couldn't laugh or cry: "Am I still afraid if you can hide? Anyway, you listen to me, and the Jade Emperor has not discovered your true identity, so you should hide. By the way, I have to go to the East China Sea in person to meet with the old Dragon King
Let’s have a good negotiation.”
Nezha waved his hand nonchalantly: "Master, don't worry, brother Yang Jian has made the Dragon King of the East China Sea and the entire dragon clan swear in the name of the dragon clan that they will never cause trouble to me again."
Hearing this, Master Taiyi felt a little at ease: "That's very good, then you can go home peacefully." After saying that, he waved his sleeves gently, and Nezha turned into a stream of light and was sent out of the room in a whoosh.
Thousands of miles away, gradually disappearing into the horizon.
Master Taiyi finally breathed a sigh of relief after solving his apprentice's problem.
He thought to himself that since he was not caught on the spot, it would be fine if he refused to admit his guilt.
However, while he was wandering leisurely in the cave, he gradually noticed something was wrong.
I saw that those precious ten thousand-year-old elixir fields were ruined like dogs, and the refining materials were scattered all over the ground, many of which still had tooth marks and gaps. Weapon racks, calligraphy and painting stands and other items had disappeared, and even
Most of the lotus roots and lotus leaves in the lotus pond were missing, and the spiritual fluid in the pond water was almost dry.
Master Taiyi touched the beard on his chin and said with a confused face: "This... this is not my cave! I am not that poor!"
After a moment, he suddenly realized and roared: "Nezha!" The sound was so loud that even the entire Qianyuan Mountain trembled.
Nezha, who was thousands of miles away, shuddered involuntarily. He scratched his head, looking confused, and then snatched the lotus root from the mouth of the elder brother next to him, chewed it, and murmured to himself.
"This lotus root is so sweet!"
…
Above the nine heavens shrouded in clouds and mist, lies the fairyland of Yaochi.
Suddenly, a deafening "bang" sound broke through the peaceful beauty. The Jade Emperor stood up angrily, his eyes wide open, and his fingers pointed directly at the nine golden crows and the canopy marshal below like swords.
"What do you do for food?
In three days, not only were you unable to capture the monster who transformed into a bumblebee, but you were not even able to catch a glimpse of his true form. Not to mention that Yang Jian, the child, who has been practicing for only ten years, has left you helpless and has no trace at all!
The Nine Golden Crows, Marshal Tianpeng, and even the hundred thousand heavenly soldiers of my heaven, I thought they were all useful talents, but today it seems that they are so useless!" The Jade Emperor's words were full of disappointment and anger.
When Marshal Tianpeng heard this, he smiled bitterly with a hint of helplessness: "Your Majesty, calm down, the Three Realms are vast, the heaven and the earth are infinite. That Yang Jian is indeed gifted, proficient in many magical powers, and has a meticulous mind. He is determined to hide his whereabouts. It is really difficult for us.
Search.
But please rest assured, Your Majesty, we have not given up.
We have learned that Yang Jian is a native of Huashan and is a disciple of Master Yuding, so we have sent elite heavenly soldiers and generals to set up a dragnet near Huashan and Yuquan Mountains to monitor him day and night, just waiting for him to relax a little and reveal his flaws!
At the same time, in order to encourage all sentient beings in the three realms, we have announced to the world that anyone who can provide the whereabouts of Yang Jian and the evildoer will receive high-ranking officials, generous salaries, flat peaches and golden elixirs, and other supreme rewards.
After all, Yang Jian is young and may not be able to bear the temptations of the world, so good news will come soon."
However, after the Jade Emperor heard this, his anger did not lessen. Instead, he looked at the Nine Golden Crows more sternly: "Wait? How long should I wait?
Nine Golden Crows, I will give you the last half a month. If you can no longer bring Yang Jian and the evildoers to justice and uphold the majesty of the heaven, there will be no hope of retaining the divine book of Marshal Tianpeng!"
Marshal Tianpeng:???
…
At the foot of Huashan Mountain, the heat wave was rolling, and Marshal Tianpeng, surrounded by nine golden crows, looked leisurely and at ease.
He was shirtless, shaking a cattail leaf fan in his hand, fanning himself from the heat from time to time. His colleague was also chewing a big watermelon in his mouth, and sweat was dripping down his cheeks and back.
With these nine golden crows gathered together, the power of the sun's true fire to burn everything is undeniable. In just a few days, the clouds around the entire Huashan Mountain have been baked away without a trace, let alone the ponds and lakes.
, even the water system flowing underground is almost dry.
The people throughout Huashan were naturally complaining.
This is the power of the gods. As soon as they sit there, the colors of the world and the world will change. In their eyes, the fate of mortals is like little bugs in the river, drifting with the current without any resistance.
Erjinwu frowned when he saw Tianpeng's current appearance, and was very dissatisfied. He couldn't help but urge:
"Tianpeng, my father only gave us fifteen days to catch the fugitive. You look so carefree, what are you going to do?"
Marshal Tianpeng chuckled, flicked the bangs in front of his forehead, and said nonchalantly: "Your Highness, don't worry. One day in the sky, one year on the earth, our fifteen days are fifteen years.
When the reward announcement spreads throughout the three realms, which fairies will be the main force, even the flowers, plants, ants and mosquitoes will become our spies.
As long as Yang Jian dares to show up, we can catch him immediately!"
Of course, Tianpeng also has his own little tricks. With his ability, even if he fails to complete the task and is deprived of his divine status, he can do well wherever he goes. And Yang Jian's strength is really terrifying. He is stupid to be active.
look for a job.
Just as he was talking, a heavenly soldier hurriedly came to report: "Your Highness, Marshal Tianpeng, and the Fourth Princess of the East China Sea, Ao Tingxin, wish to see you."
Before he finished speaking, he saw a heroic girl wearing golden armor walking towards her. The pair of golden dragon horns on her head shone brightly in the sun.
Marshal Tianpeng's eyes widened when he saw it, and he exclaimed in his heart: "Oh, this girl is so handsome!"
Seeing this, Erjinwu shook his head slightly, stepped forward and asked directly: "Are you Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea?"
Ao Tingxin bowed respectfully and replied: "Exactly. However, Tingxin has now been expelled from the Dragon Palace by his father, and his words and deeds from now on have nothing to do with the dragon clan.
I came here this time to provide clues to the monster that has sneaked into the heaven."
"Oh?" Er Jinwu and Marshal Tianpeng looked at each other, a hint of joy flashing in their eyes.
If Yang Jian and the others couldn't defeat him, could they still defeat that monster?
