Chapter 31 The Eighth Immortal, the Bitter Meat Scheme
"It's a disaster, it's a disaster... Han Xiangzi, where are the other immortal families, haven't they come back yet?"
Three days later.
Han Zhongli, holding a precious fan, rushed back to Cao Mansion in a hurry, and asked Qin Yao who was playing chess with Zhang Guo under the pavilion.
"Tap bang."
Qin Yao gently placed the black chess pieces in the chess room, raised his eyes and said: "You haven't come back yet... Didn't you go together? Why are you still separated?"
Han Zhongli came to his side, sat down, picked up the herbal tea at the table and drank it all: "Don't mention it, the entrance to Nuwa Cave is a gate of time and space. The six of us went in side by side. As a result,
But it was transported to other places."
"Then, what happened?" Qin Yao asked.
Han Zhongli's brows were full of sorrow: "I don't know what happened to others. In short, I am in trouble."
"Don't be anxious, speak slowly, and I'll see if I can think of a solution for you." Qin Yao heard the sound and said.
Han Zhongli took a long breath and recalled: "At that time, I was transported to the place where Yuanshi Tianzun created the world 33,333 years ago.
I've been searching here for a long time, but I haven't encountered a single living thing, not even a hint of green, and everything I've seen is deserted.
After searching for a full one hundred and eighty days, I finally saw a stone tablet..."
"Then what?" Qin Yao asked softly.
"I saw words on the stone tablet, so I looked at it carefully."
Han Zhongli smiled bitterly and said: "The stone tablet said that ten thousand years ago, there was an unprecedented war between the dragon god of the heaven and the dragon demon of the devil. The strong men of the heaven and the devil were ready to make a move, and the war between the two worlds was imminent.
The Buddha was compassionate and couldn't bear to see the war between the two realms leading to the destruction of all living beings, so he went to find the dream demon, and together with the dream demon, he sealed the two dragons to the place where Yuanshi Tianzun created the world. Then the Buddha sealed the entrance of the cave, and since then the turmoil in the three realms has been eliminated."
"Thousands of years later, the unwilling Dragon God took the lead in breaking out of the realm, sneaking into the East China Sea and creating the East China Sea Dragon Clan.
The Buddha was afraid that the dragon demon would also break through, so he sent a Daluo Celestial to find the inner elixir of the demon dragon, the black dragon ball, in the beginning of the world, in an attempt to seal the black dragon ball and completely prevent the dragon demon from being born."
"After recording this, the lower half of the stone tablet was solidified by thousands of years of wind and sand. I wanted to see the outcome of the sealed dragon demon, so I used a spell to pull out the stone tablet. Who would have thought that this stone tablet was the formation eye that sealed the black dragon ball.
As the stone tablet was unearthed, the Black Dragon Ball also ran away. I tried my best to chase it but couldn't catch it, so in the end I had to come back to you to discuss a way to save it."
Qin Yao pondered for a moment, shook his head and said: "Did the Black Dragon Ball pass through the gate of time and space?"
"I've traveled through time," Han Zhongli said.
Qin Yao said helplessly: "Since the Black Dragon Ball has passed through the gate of time and space, is there any way to remedy it? No one can be sure which time node it has reached through the gate of time and space, and we don't even know its specific location.
Where can I find it?"
Han Zhongli: "..."
Qin Yao's eyes flashed slightly and he asked, "Is there anyone else who knows about this?"
"No." Han Zhongli shook his head.
Qin Yao said: "Since no one else knows, and we don't know when the black dragon ball went to time and space, you can just keep this matter in your stomach."
Han Zhongli hesitated and said, "Will this lead to any catastrophe?"
"Even if you can, what can you do in advance?" Qin Yao asked.
Han Zhongli was speechless.
"Don't think about this." Qin Yao said warmly: "Besides the stone tablet, do you have other gains?"
Han Zhongli said honestly: "No."
"Then let's wait until they come back and see what they gain." Qin Yao said lightly.
Han Zhongli's face was full of confusion and hesitantly said: "Don't they even tell Laoguai?"
"If you tell Laoguai, Laoguai will tell Taibaijinxing. If Taibaijinxing knows about it, the whole heaven will know about it." Qin Yao said: "Are you feeling sorry if you are not punished by heaven?"
"That's not true..." Han Zhongli said in a low voice.
As long as there is nothing wrong with the brain, who likes to plead guilty and be punished?
After waiting for a few more days, Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, Cao Guojiu, Lan Cai and the other four came back one after another, but they all found nothing.
That night.
The immortals were sitting in the courtyard enjoying the cool air. He Xiaoyun looked at the starry sky and murmured: "Only Tieguai Li is left. If even he can't find a way to resurrect the flower dragon, wouldn't the gathering of the Eight Immortals be an empty talk?"
"
Qin Yao said quietly: "Tieguai Li will definitely be found."
"Why are you so sure?" Lu Dongbin asked doubtfully.
'Because even if he can't find it himself, Buddha and the Jade Emperor will help him find it.' Qin Yao muttered silently in his heart, but said on his face: "Intuition."
Lu Dongbin: "..."
There is no way to explain something like intuition.
"I'm back."
Half an hour later, Tieguai Li lowered his head and said to everyone with a happy face.
"Have you found a way to resurrect the flower dragon?" Looking at the smile on his face, Lu Dongbin asked subconsciously.
Tieguai Li nodded, took out a jade porcelain bottle with two long fingers, and said with a smile: "This is filled with the resin of the eternal sacred tree, which can be used to make flesh and bones of the living dead. Just apply it on Hualong's head."
By touching it to the neck, it can heal the injury and gather the immortal soul."
"Great." He Xiangu said happily: "Then you should contact Taibai Jinxing quickly and ask him to send Hualong's body back."
Tieguai Li smiled and said, "I think so too."
After saying this, he formed a magic seal with his hand and struck out a series of immortal talismans, and the dazzling golden runes went straight towards Qing Ming.
"Did it succeed?" Taibai Jinxing soon appeared and asked seriously.
"Successful." Tieguai Li smiled and raised the jade porcelain vase: "Please trouble Jinxing to send Hualong's body back, and we will help him bring him back to life."
A smile suddenly appeared on Jin Xing's face. He waved his sleeves and opened a door to time and space. A head and a corpse slowly flew out of the door, all in the shape of humans.
Tieguai Li lifted the two parts with his immortal energy, put his head on his neck while turning his mind, and immediately took out the divine resin from the air, and controlled it with his spiritual thoughts and applied it on Hualong's neck.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "Whoops..."
The flower dragon's neck suddenly lit up with a bright golden light, releasing a rich vitality. The flesh, flesh and bones regenerated rapidly under the nourishment of this vitality. Soon the severed head was connected to the neck, and then the red marks between the two became lighter and lighter.
.
"The soul is back!"
When Hualong's neck became smooth, Tieguai Li touched his glowing crutch on Hualong's forehead and shouted loudly.
Using the Hualong deity as the magnetic field and the blessing of Tieguai Li's immortal energy, ten streams of light flew out from the ground and merged into this body one by one.
Qin Yao watched this scene quietly, feeling it was so ironic.
If he remembered correctly, in this world, Tieguai Li's legs were broken by Hualong...
This is truly repaying kindness with kindness.
"Ho!"
Hua Long took a deep breath, the light in his eyes quickly focused, and there was still a hint of shock on his face.
When his will gradually returned and he saw the current situation clearly, Hua Long's mind tightened and he asked solemnly: "Kill me and then rescue me. What the hell do you want to do?"
"Han Xiangzi killed you because you were our enemy; I saved you because you are the last member of the Eight Immortals." Tieguai Li said: "Otherwise, just because you broke my leg,
I should just sit back and watch you never be reincarnated."
"Am I the last member of the Eight Immortals?" Hua Long was dumbfounded.
What he always wanted to do was to prevent the Eight Immortals from getting together, but in the end he was lonely because of his efforts.
"That's right." In mid-air, Taibai Jinxing confirmed: "Tieguai Li, take out the last spiritual stone."
Tieguai Li nodded slightly, took out the last Eight Immortals Spirit Stone from his pocket, raised his hand and handed it forward.
The spirit stone sensed Hua Long's aura, and immediately turned into a stream of light, which quickly sank into Hua Long's waist. In an instant, a stream of fairy energy emitted from Hua Long's body...
"No, it's impossible."
Hualong looked inside himself and tried to find the spiritual stone, but he couldn't find any stone at all.
The spiritual stone has become one with it and is indistinguishable from each other.
In other words, they are one and the same.
"Although I don't want to believe it, this is the fact." Tieguai Li sighed.
Sensing the increasingly powerful immortal energy in his body, Hua Long fell into silence.
"Ah……"
After a long time, he suddenly laughed and looked around: "If I am really the last member of the Eight Immortals, why do you think I am trying so hard?
As long as I don't join you, the Eight Immortals will never be able to gather together, and the crossing of the sea will never be successful."
"You have to help them." Taibai Jinxing said suddenly.
"Why? Just because I am one of the Eight Immortals?" Hua Long sneered: "Or do you people want to threaten me with my life?"
Taibai Jinxing shook his head: "Just because you want to save your father."
Hualong's smile froze: "What nonsense are you talking about? Why do you need me to save you, father?"
Taibai Jinxing sighed quietly: "The Jade Emperor has always wanted to know why the Dragon King forcibly blocked the East China Sea and why he disobeyed the heaven, so he has been investigating the truth.
A few days ago, I finally got something. It turns out that your father was bewitched by the Black Dragon Ball, and that's why he had desires he shouldn't have."
"You're talking nonsense." Hua Long refuted loudly: "My father obviously inherited the legacy of his ancestors and fought hard for many generations to be independent from the heaven."
"What you know now is just what the Dragon King wants you to know." Taibai Jinxing said: "You said that the Dragon King will fight for many lifetimes. Do you know how many lifetimes these lifetimes are? To put it in simpler terms, you see
Have you passed your grandpa?"
Hualong: "..."
It seems not.
"Hua Long, you are the only one who can save your father now." Taibai Jinxing said in a deep voice.
"Do you have any evidence?" Hua Long was silent for a long time and asked seriously: "You just say that my father was bewitched by that black dragon ball just by talking white teeth?"
Taibai Jinxing looked down at the immortals and said in a solemn voice: "I can't ask the Jade Emperor to prove anything to him. How to make him believe it is up to you."
"Yes." Tieguai Li said.
"You guys can chat, I'm leaving first." Taibai Jinxing nodded, and his body instantly disappeared into the air.
"Everyone, let's think about it together, how can we make the Dragon King expose the Black Dragon Ball." Tieguai Li raised his hand and said.
Among the crowd, Qin Yao raised his eyes and glanced at Zhang Guo, his eyes full of meaning.
Zhang Guo was suddenly aroused, and his thoughts immediately began to spin. A flash of light suddenly flashed in his mind. He raised his hand and said, "I have a plan."
"What's the plan?" The immortals were stunned.
Except for "Han Xiangzi", they would not be surprised if any of the other members of the Eight Immortals offered advice, but Zhang Guo...
How can such an outsider have any good ideas?
Zhang Guo coughed lightly and cleared his throat: "Bitter meat plan."
Hualong: “???”
"Expand it," Tieguai Li said.
Zhang Guo said slowly: "The seven of you can pretend to capture Hua Long, take him to the East China Sea Dragon Palace, and exchange him for the Black Dragon Pearl from the Dragon King.
If the Dragon King refuses, you can whip each other in front of the Dragon King. If you have a deep love for each other, he will definitely show mood swings because of this.
By then, Prince Hualong will definitely be able to tell whether he has the Black Dragon Ball in his hand."
Hualong twitched the corner of his mouth and said to the other immortals: "This won't work. You can think of something else."
On the one hand, this plan is embarrassing, but on the other hand, in order to win the trust of my father, I must fight for real.
He is sick and agrees to this kind of thing.
The immortals went head to head, thinking carefully, pondering, and came up with one possibility after another, but none of them was better than Zhang Guo's suggestion.
"Are you all pigs?" Hualong said coldly as his patience gradually ran out.
"Hey, don't go too far." The immortals looked worried, and Han Zhongli frowned and shouted.
"Too much? If I hadn't wanted to save my father, I would have gone even further." Hua Long said indifferently.
Qin Yao said faintly: "Do you feel that since you have become the last member of the Eight Immortals, we will throw a trap and not dare to kill you again?"
A chill quickly rushed from the bottom of his heart to his forehead, and then turned into fear, causing Hualong to suddenly change his color.
That decapitating blow left a deep shadow in his heart.
"Okay, okay, let's not mention this anymore." Seeing the atmosphere becoming increasingly grim, Tieguai Li opened his mouth to smooth things over, and then said to Hua Long, "Do you have any good ideas?"
"I didn't." Hua Long said with a gloomy expression.
"Since you don't have any good ideas, then use Zhang Guo's trick." Tieguai Li said warmly, "This is the method with the lowest cost and the highest success rate."
"Bitter meat, bitter meat, it's not you who is being beaten, so of course it doesn't matter to you." Hua Long said.
Tieguai Li asked sincerely: "Why do you think it will be to this extent? Could it be that in your subconscious mind, you think that your status in the Dragon King's heart is not as good as a black dragon ball?"
"Impossible!" Hua Long said in a solemn voice.
"Then use this strategy." Tieguai Li said.
Hualong was speechless.
The next day.
The sky is clear and the breeze is gentle.
They were all seven immortals dressed in white-gold fairy clothes, escorting the disgraced Hualong who was tied up with five flowers to the shore of the East China Sea. Zhang Guo, a mortal, was carrying a weapon wrapped in black cloth and followed them from a distance.
.
"Dragon King of the East China Sea, your prince was captured alive by us, why don't you show up quickly!" Tieguai Li knocked Hualong to the ground with his cane and shouted sternly.
