The monks above the Great Sage gathered together, most of them in human form, but there were also half-man, half-animal, five ears and six tails, corpses and Rakshasa, and white-bone monsters.
When Zhang Ruochen and Fanchen arrived, the monks had already had three drinks.
Meng Twenty-eight invited the two of them into the inner hall to attend the gathering of gods, but they were declined.
After he left, Zhang Ruochen and Fanchen found a seat on the edge where children gathered and sat down. There was a rectangular table carved from fire jade, with dozens of exquisite jade plates, dragon livers, phoenix gallbladders, and sacred fruits and holy springs placed on it.
, elixirs, medicinal teas, everything you need.
Some of these foods are so precious that they can make the great sage become jealous and his heart tremble.
The children sitting next to the table were all only seven or eight years old. They were all pretty and pretty, some were cute and playful, some were crying and arguing, and some were eating and stuffing.
Looking at the fine wines on the table, Zhang Ruochen and Fanchen showed no interest in drinking.
Fanchen asked: "You have a keen sense that few people in the world can match. Can you see through the cultivation level of the treasure Ksitigarbha?"
"She didn't take action, and I couldn't release my senses to investigate deliberately. I can only make a rough estimate. There is an early stage of Indestructible Infinite, or a middle stage of Indestructible Infinite." Zhang Ruochen said.
Fanchen's face turned pale and he said: "Isn't it just like Xuanyuan Er? It's over. At least one third of the time, the young monk can't beat her."
"What are you afraid of? She won't use force on you? As long as you stick to your state of mind and don't be confused, you will be safe."
Zhang Ruochen picked up a red fruit on the table and took a bite.
He was about to take the fruit, but Zhang Ruochen beat him to it. The little boy sitting on Zhang Ruochen's left immediately cast a look of disdain and took away the other, greener fruit on the jade plate.
Fanchen asked: "How does the Taoist master plan to deal with it?"
"I don't have to hold on to my heart, I'm at ease, and all potential dharma is just like a dream." Zhang Ruochen smiled easily and naturally.
Fanchen was shocked and felt that Zhang Ruochen's words were making excuses for his own sinking.
Fanchen said: "If the Taoist leader is willing to degenerate and covet beauty, the poor monk will not save you when the time comes."
"If that night comes, you must not save me, otherwise you will be my enemy for ten generations." Zhang Ruochen said.
"Two seniors, isn't it appropriate for you to talk about these things openly in front of a group of us children?" One of the children, who looked to be the oldest, said very seriously.
"Hmph! A Taoist priest or a monk is so unruly!"
"That is, if you go behind the Buddha's back and say bad things about her, I will tell her later and ask her to pluck out your skin and make it into a hanging drum."
…
Nine children, nine pairs of eyes, some angry, some calm, and some murderous.
To be able to participate in the banquet of the Meng family, their cultivation level is naturally not low, and they are not real children.
Fanchen looked at them carefully and discovered that all nine children were wearing Buddhist robes, their eyes were filled with golden light, and all the Buddha's agglomerations were restrained, showing their extraordinary level of cultivation.
"I'm so careless. It's all because I was disturbed by the Pearl Jizo just now. My heart is full of turmoil, but I didn't realize that this table of children all have good cultivation."
Fanchen was embarrassed and regretted not communicating with Zhang Ruochen just now.
Zhang Ruochen did not panic at all. He obviously knew the approximate origin of the "Nine Spirits Buddha Boy" and said with a smile: "Is Baozhu Ksitigarbha your Buddha Mother?"
"That's natural." The psychic Buddha boy said.
The old mortal habit broke out and he asked directly: "Is it your biological mother? Since there is a Buddha mother, there must be a Buddha father, right? You all look different, so you should not be born from the same Buddha father? Oh! What a sin!"
I don’t know what Fanchen thought of, and sighed the last sentence.
Perhaps because he thought that the Buddha father of Jiuling Buddha Boy was killed by the Pearl Ksitigarbha, he thought that everything was the "obstacle and fruit of evil".
When he realized that he had said the wrong thing, he found that all the Nine Spirit Buddha boys were furious. Balls of Buddhist flames ignited above their heads, surrounding him and trying to tear him into pieces.
But Zhang Ruochen had already escaped and disappeared without a trace.
…
Zhang Ruochen followed Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha and Baoyin Ksitigarbha to leave Yuntai Palace.
These two people, one is as strong as an ox and the other is as thin as a bamboo pole, both wear loose bright yellow Buddhist robes, lama hats on their heads, and have ten thousand Buddha patterns on their faces.
Zhang Ruochen saw them restraining their aura and hiding their figures, and felt something strange, so he quietly followed them.
As soon as I walked out of Yuntai Palace, I had an unexpected harvest.
He was not the only one following the two Ksitigarbhas, but there was also a strong man with a ghost-like figure. This man had half-ancestral talisman on his body. Not to mention his appearance, even his heavenly aura was very weak.
This man used some kind of Five Elements Escape Technique. He walked underground and blended with the soil, making it difficult to detect.
"People from the God Realm actually boarded the Tianlong."
Zhang Ruochen recognized that the strong man hiding his aura underground was "Ignorance", the divine warrior envoy of the Eternal Heaven.
This is an existence with Tianzun level cultivation!
Zhang Ruochen released the infinite circle, jumped out of the space of heaven and earth, and took ten steps back before slowly following him.
The two Ksitigarbhas walked quickly and communicated with their spiritual thoughts.
Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha said: "Baozhu and Cihang's debate attracted everyone to Yuntai Palace. We can just take advantage of this opportunity to go and see the envoy."
"I didn't expect that the envoy was also on the Tianlong. If the Meng family hadn't informed us, we would have been kept in the dark." Baoyin Jizo said.
Not long after, Tanduo Ksitigarbha and Baoyin Ksitigarbha came to a palace complex in the middle of Tianlong and walked straight into a Meng house in the core of the palace complex.
In the core area of each of the twelve palace groups on the ship, there is such a Meng house, which is a private residence that only belongs to the gods of the Meng family.
Zhang Ruochen stood in front of the gate of Meng's house, looking at the two Ksitigarbha who disappeared inside, with a thoughtful look on his face.
"This is the residence of the Meng family! What are they doing here secretly?"
If Zhang Ruochen was still cultivating, he would naturally be able to hear the secret communication between the two Ksitigarbhas.
But not now.
All we can do is follow up and find out.
As soon as he walked into Meng's house, Zhang Ruochen's expression suddenly changed, and he had a premonition of extreme danger. After looking at Wu Wu who had sneaked into Meng's house from the ground, Zhang Ruochen did not go in and quietly exited the door.
Looking to the right of the courtyard wall, there is a 100-meter-tall ghost tree planted there.
With a flicker of his body, Zhang Ruochen appeared on the tree, standing on a branch as thick as a bucket, looking into the house through the gaps in the leaves.
Under the light of lanterns, Tanduo Ksitigarbha and Baoyin Ksitigarbha came to the outside of a three-story painting building, and they bowed respectfully inside.
"Greetings to Lord Underworld!"
The second floor of the painting building was lit with lights, and there were two beautiful silhouettes standing inside.
A voice belonging to Lian Xi sounded: "You have attracted people from the God Realm!"
Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha and Bao Yin Ksitigarbha were startled at first, then opened their eyes wide, and sacrificed the "Human Head Building" and "Bao Seal" artifacts respectively to seal off the Meng Mansion.
Who would have thought that the two Jizos in Dihuang were actually colluding with the Mingzu faction, and the person they wanted to meet was a semi-ancestral existence?
Almost as soon as Lian Xi's voice sounded, Wu Lan immediately ran away from the ground.
But the entire land of Meng's house turned into gold in an instant, as if it was made of gold, and countless semi-ancestral divine patterns flowed like a dragnet.
"boom!"
Ignoring it, it broke through the ground and soared into the sky.
Inside the painting building, a hum sounded.
"Whoosh!"
The Eternal Spear flew out, breaking the rules of time, directly penetrating Ignorance's body, and brought out a large amount of blood.
The next moment, Lian Xi appeared in mid-air, holding the Eternal Spear, slashing forward fiercely, sending Wu Wu quickly falling to the ground, colliding with the flying human head banner and treasure seal.
In a flash of lightning, the battle is over.
Lian Xi used the Ghost Seal to suppress the ignored spirit and dragged him into the world of gods.
The gap between the Tianzun level and the Half-Ancestral was too big, and he was too careless, so he fell into the cage of the Half-Ancestral rules woven by Lian Xi and broke into Meng's house, making it difficult to escape.
If he ignored Zhang Ruochen and did not enter Meng's house, even if Lian Xi wanted to kill him because of his half-ancestral cultivation, he would still have a chance to escape.
This battle between the Tianzun level and the Half-Ancestor did not cause any fluctuations in the outside world.
The night was still deep and quieter than before.
After seeing Lian Xi's unparalleled power, Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha and Bao Yin Ksitigarbha respected her as a god and bowed respectfully to her again, gaining a clearer understanding of this messenger in their hearts.
"You went to the Stone Clan, did you complete your mission?"
Ling Xi stood under the painting building, her figure upright and slender, not showing her true face. She still wore a bamboo hat on her head and covered her face with purple gauze.
Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha put his hand into his sleeve, took out the birth and death lamp and presented it to Lian Xi.
Baoyin Ksitigarbha released a corner of the divine world. Inside, the Buddha's light was dimly visible. Between the mountains, a tall and burly figure was locked with thousands of divine chains.
"Who asked you to suppress Huangtian?" Lian Xi scolded him coldly.
Baoyin Ksitigarbha was frightened and said: "If you want to seize the Life and Death Lamp, you must first suppress him!"
Lian Xi said: "Huangtian is extremely talented, and is regarded by the half-ancestors of the hell world as the next generation leader of the upper three clans. If he disappears, the half-ancestors of the hell world will definitely find Tianhuang and you."
Tan Tuo Ksitigarbha said disdainfully: "So what? There is no need for the Nightmare Ancestor and the Ming Ancestor to take action at all, the envoy can make them come back without any return."
"That's all! Since we have captured him, we can keep him in prison and go to Biluo Pass as a sacrifice."
Ling Xi held up the life and death lamp, looked at it carefully, and said: "You have been targeted by the monks in the God Realm. Don't meet me again in the future."
"Weren't the powerful men in the God Realm suppressed just now?" Baoyin Jizo asked in confusion.
Lian Xi smiled coldly, and then struck out like lightning, grabbing the faces of Tantuo Ksitigarbha and Baozhu Ksitigarbha with both hands. The half-ancestral spirit turned into a ray of light and entered their sea of consciousness.
Part of their memory was erased.
When Emperor Tan Tuo and Baozhu Ksitigarbha regained their mental consciousness, they found that the underworld messenger had already left. Their minds were filled with pain and they forgot everything that happened when they entered Meng's house.
I only remember meeting the Underworld Envoy.
The underworld is like a black mist, shapeless and blurry.
Zhang Ruochen did not chase Lian Xi or rescue Huang Tian, but returned to Yuntai Palace as quickly as possible.
"The theft of the Whirlpool World was indeed the work of the Ming Ancestor faction. Prajna stayed with the Soul Mother, and it seems that the Paradise of Paradise also fell into her hands."
Although it was just a silhouette on the painting building, Zhang Ruochen recognized that the person in the same room with the Soul Mother must be Prajna.
As for the soul mother who hides her aura and appearance, it is even harder to hide it from Zhang Ruochen.
"It is no coincidence that the Soul Mother is hiding in the private residence of the Meng family. It seems that some members of the Meng family have already joined the Underworld Ancestor faction."
"The Soul Mother suppressed Ignorance, but immediately ran away and hid. She must know something and who she is afraid of. Is there a semi-ancestral powerhouse in the Eternal Heaven on the Tianlong?"
"The Mingzu faction has successively captured the Whirlpool World, the Paradise World, and the Life and Death Deng. What on earth are they going to do in the wilderness? Is it related to Biluo Pass?"
"The fog is thick and the undercurrent is surging. Where should we start first?"
Zhang Ruochen knew very well that in order to deal with an existence like the Soul Mother and rescue Prajna, on the entire Tianlong, I am afraid that only the invisible half-ancestor of the Eternal Heaven Kingdom could do it.
Zhang Ruochen has never wanted to cooperate with the Eternal Heaven to find the half-ancestor as much as he does now.
But I was worried because what I found was the seventy-two-pin lotus.
"Since Soul Mother is worried, I will disrupt this situation first. Take advantage of the situation and break it! Just..."
Seeing Xuanyuan Er come out of the inner hall, Zhang Ruochen had an idea in his mind and hurried forward to greet him.
Zhang Ruochen blocked Xuanyuan Er's path and saluted respectfully.
Xuanyuan Er knew that Zhang Ruochen and Fanchen had a good relationship, so to save his face, he asked: "Niubi, you are only a peak demigod, you dare to stop me, how brave you are."
Zhang Ruochen smiled bitterly and said in an apologetic manner: "There is no way, I can't find the mortal monk. I am worried that he will be in danger, so I have to ask the King of Heaven."
Xuanyuan Er laughed heartily: "You mean that monk? He opened his mouth and talked nonsense. He was caught by the nine children of that bitch in Dihuang, tied up and thrown into the inner hall. Of course you couldn't find him!"
"What can we do? His mouth will kill him sooner or later." Zhang Ruochen frowned and was very worried.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious. With Venerable Cihang here, it's enough to save his life."
Xuanyuan Er thought of something and asked: "Can you see two foreign Buddhist cultivators wearing lama hats?"
"Are there some strange marks on the face?" Zhang Ruochen asked.
Xuanyuan Er's eyes lit up and he said: "That's right! Where are they?"
Venerable Cihang noticed that Tantuo Ksitigarbha and Baoyin Ksitigarbha were traveling strangely and that they should not have left during the debate on sutras and Taoism, so he sent Xuanyuan Er to search for them.
Zhang Ruochen said: "When I was looking for Fanchen just now, I saw two weirdos near the private residence of the Meng family in the central palace complex. Their eyes were quite scary, striking straight into the soul. I was frightened."
The flames in Xuanyuan Er's bony eye sockets jumped, and he said: "It's really interesting! You must not tell anyone about this, otherwise your life will be at risk."
"Wow!"
Xuanyuan Er disappeared in an instant.
"Taoist Master Sheng Si!"
Meng Twenty-eight came from a distance, bowed to Zhang Ruochen, and asked: "Did the Taoist priest come to the inner hall because of Master Fanchen? The situation is very bad. Originally, Baozhu Ksitigarbha was not very angry, but because of
Venerable Cihang protected Master Fanchen, but now..."
Zhang Ruochen interrupted Meng Twenty-eight and said: "Pindao and he are just casual acquaintances, and their friendship is shallow. Don't misunderstand Mr. Twenty-eight! Pindao is here to report something important."
When Meng Twenty-eight was shocked by the fragile friendship between the two, he also appeared to be listening.
