Chapter 582: On the night of the bright moon, on the top of Chang'an,
Yuan Zangji stepped out of the gate of Nihuan Temple, which had been renamed Shangqing Temple, with a smile on his face and he was in a very good mood.
After several days of negotiations, he finally sold the spoils of the battle, including some properties and houses in Changsha County, to Wang Gui of the Shangqing faction at a suitable price.
I came across some exotic flowers and plants that I had long wanted to buy.
"If you add these things,"
Yuan Zang calculated what he had gained from Wang Gui and nodded with satisfaction.
"The materials for the stone elephant set that Pindao has on hand have basically been gathered together. Now everything is ready. All he needs is a boy who is strong-minded, will not be disturbed by illusions, and can guard the fire..."
Before he finished speaking, Yuan Zangji saw an old man in purple robes coming out of the street next to him and raised his hands to salute him.
"Master Yuan, you're polite!"
"It turns out to be Fu Shenjun..."
After seeing this old man, Genzang immediately smiled with a smile on his face and raised his hand in return.
"It's polite!"
"Master Yuan, this is the invitation from my master Qingwei..."
Fu Yi took out a red gold post from his sleeve and handed it over with both hands.
"I also ask the real person to come down with all my heart!"
Although this invitation came out of nowhere, which made Yuan Zang a little puzzled, he still readily agreed.
"Good! It just so happens that I have finished my business in Changsha. Now that I see Master Qingwei this time, I can also say goodbye in person!"
Fu Yi turned sideways and extended his hand to give way.
"Zhenren Yuan, please!"
…
A few minutes later, a cloud plane took off from outside Changsha and flew toward the sea of clouds in the sky.
As soon as he got on the plane, Yuan Zangji felt something was wrong!
Because of his relationship with the Nirvana Sect, he had lived in Yunzhong City for a while. Although his relationship with these flying foxes could not be said to be very good, at least they were friendly to each other.
But this time it’s completely different!
The foxes looked at him with obviously not-so-kind expressions. They looked at him more like surveillance than sizing up.
What is going on? Could it be that something happened that I don't know about?
After the plane stopped, Yuan Zangji saw Fu Yi smiling at him, and the smile seemed a bit strange.
"Zhenren Yuan, please come this way!"
Yuan Zangji, who was confused, followed Fu Yi across the street and arrived at the square in front of the Tai Chi Hall in Yunzhong City. From a distance, he saw the Taoist priests of the Quanzhen Sect dressed in costumes and walking in front of the Tai Chi Hall.
Sitting cross-legged in front of him, he chanted "Huang Ting" in unison.
"Zhenren Yuan..."
Just when Fu Yi and Yuan Zangji were about to reach the bottom of the steps in front of the Tai Chi Hall, Big Dipper Lord Shi Zhixuan, who had been standing here for a long time, turned around and showed an equally weird smile to Yuan Zangji.
"I'm really sorry. My Master Qingwei is conducting a fasting ceremony for King Qin. He'll be ready soon. Please wait a moment!"
"Oh! It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter..."
Yuan Zangji agreed, then looked at the Tai Chi Hall in Yunzhong City strangely, and asked in a low voice.
"Xiangong Pei, you are so good, why does King Qin suddenly want to fast?"
"Because this expedition against the Nirvana Sect and the monsters they raised, many soldiers were sacrificed, so the King of Qin decided to hold a public memorial ceremony three days later to erect monuments and biographies for these soldiers."
Big Dipper Lord Shi Zhixuan explained with a smile.
"The so-called important affairs of the country are performed by soldiers and sacrifices! In order to show piety, His Highness King Qin is going to fast for three days in Emperor Xuanyuan's palace above the sky to comfort the souls of the dead... Okay! Zhenren Yuan, the ceremony is over,
My master Qingwei has come out!"
The next moment, Kong Qing, dressed in white with big sleeves fluttering, walked out of the gate of Tai Chi Hall. After looking at it for a moment, he immediately walked towards Yuan Zangji and the others, raising his hands in salute.
"Zhenren Yuan, I'm really sorry. Originally, Pindao planned to go to Changsha to welcome him in person, but King Qin has something to do..."
"It doesn't matter! Since it's King Qin's business, I should wait a moment."
Yuan Zangji also bent down to return the salute, then stood up and asked doubtfully.
"I wonder what is going on when Master Qingwei invites the poor Taoist?"
"There is indeed something not too big or too small..."
Kong Qing looked at Yuan Zangji with a sincere face, his tone was calm, and his fingers were tapping in the air casually.
"Zhenren Yuan, I wonder if you felt the Dragon Qi riot in Changsha converging in the direction of Meishan yesterday afternoon?"
"I feel it, it's very intense!"
Yuan Zangji nodded in confusion.
"Don't tell me, Master Qingwei, that you suspect that Pindao did it? That's impossible, our Immortal side has no understanding of dragon energy..."
"No! Pindao has never doubted this, because..."
Kong Qing stopped scratching in the air and pointed towards himself.
"That thing was done by me, Pindao!"
"Master Qingwei is indeed very powerful. He can even mobilize dragon energy, but..."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Yuan Zangji's face became more confused.
"What does this matter have to do with Pindao?"
"It's a big deal!"
Kong Qing nodded slightly, then stretched out his hand and began to draw in the air.
"The reason why Pindao triggered the dragon qi riot is because senior An Qisheng was chasing Pindao, forcing Pindao to use this method to protect himself."
"Oh! I see...what!"
After listening to Kong Qing's words, Yuan Zangji nodded twice with a look of sudden realization, then his expression changed drastically, and he almost shouted in surprise.
"Master Qingwei, who did you say you were chased and beaten by?"
"Shh! Keep your voice down!"
Kong Qing rubbed his ears with his hands, raised his index finger and put it to his mouth, then looked back at the fasting ceremony in progress in the Tai Chi Hall, and pointed forward with his hand.
"Zhenren Yuan, let's take a step to speak. This place is still a bit close to Tai Chi Hall."
With that said, Kong Qing stepped forward and stopped only when he reached the bridge not far from Yuhe.
"Zhenren Yuan, although you may not believe Pindao's words, yesterday afternoon Pindao was chased and beaten by An Qisheng, the founder of Fang Xiandao. He had no choice but to mobilize dragon energy to defend himself, so he triggered the dragon attack.
Angry riot."
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Yuan Zang moved his lips twice, his tone dry.
"Master Qingwei, please stop joking. What kind of person is our Patriarch Men Anqi? How can we bully the small and pursue a real person like you who is not even an earthly immortal?"
"Because Pindao killed Yuan Baiyi... Oh! By the way, Master Yuan, you may not know who Yuan Baiyi is."
Kong Qing relaxed and moved his fingers in the air, seemingly flipping them up and down, as he answered.
"After all, Yuan Baiyi named herself, and An Qisheng or you Fang Xiandao should call her Yu Jingzi!"
"You actually killed Yu Jingzi?"
After hearing Kong Qing's words, Yuan Zangji felt even more unbelievable.
"How is that possible..."
"What, don't you believe it?"
As he spoke, Kong Qing waved his hand, and with a thud, a huge white snake corpse fell onto the square.
"Zhenren Yuan, you were born in Penglai and have met Yu Jingzi many times. You can see for yourself whether this is her body."
After seeing this white snake, Yuan Zangji's face instantly turned pale.
Unlike other successors of Fang Xiandao who were active in China, Yuan Zangji joined Fang Xiandao after being drifted to Penglai due to a shipwreck. He was considered to be an inner disciple with deep blessings and directly bumped into Fang Xiandao's overseas base camp.
An Qisheng and Yu Jingzi have both seen each other many times, so he recognized them at a glance...
That’s right!
This is the body of Yu Jingzi!
"As for why Pindao wanted to kill her,"
Kong Qing didn't seem to notice Yuan Zangji's pale face, and was still talking to himself.
"Then we have to start with the story about the son of Li Xunzhi, the salt and iron envoy, who was killed by a snake demon..."
Then, Kong Qing briefly explained to Yuan Zangji what happened at Li Xun's house at that time, but he said that when he accidentally bumped into two big lolita fighting with Yu Jingzi, he said that he was following him.
Found each other.
"At that time, Yu Jingzi was lucky enough to escape from Pindao's hands, so she held a grudge. Yesterday, when Pindao's subordinate, Winged Fire Snake Lady Song, was hunting down the remnants of the She family, Yu Jingzi actually assisted those cannibalistic monsters of the She family.
, even destroyed the dharma bodies of the four gods in Pindao Sect.
After Pindao arrived, after a fight, he beheaded Yu Jingzi in front of Senior Anqi, angering the other party and killing Pindao painfully. In the end, Pindao could only summon dragon energy to protect himself."
After listening to Kong Qing's words, Yuan Zangji's whole body became numb.
On the one hand, he didn't believe that the young Taoist priest in front of him could successfully summon dragon energy to protect himself despite An Qisheng's pursuit; on the other hand, the other party's detailed description had to disappoint him.
He believed that the other party had indeed escaped unscathed from Patriarch Anqi's pursuit.
"When Senior Anqi was forced to retreat by the dragon's energy, he said that Fang Xiandao and Pindao were incompatible with each other!"
Having said this, Kong Qing nodded slightly to Yuan Zangji and waved his fingers in the air a few times in coordination.
"To be honest, Master Yuan, Pindao has no personal opinion against you. Even Pindao respects you, but there is no way..."
Kong Qing sighed, looking helpless.
"Since you, Xiandao Fang, have started a war with Pindao, Pindao can only accept the fight!"
"oh……"
Hearing this, Genzang Ji smiled bitterly.
"No wonder when Pindao got on the plane today, he felt that these demon servants of yours, Master Qingwei, were somewhat hostile to Pindao. It seems that Pindao has thrown himself into a trap today!"
As he spoke, Yuan Zang spread his hands and formed a posture.
"Although Pindao knows that he is no match for you, Master Qingwei, but if you want Pindao to close his eyes and wait for death, that is absolutely impossible!"
"Makoto, you misunderstood!"
Kong Qing spread his hands and gently shook them up and down twice.
"If Pindao really wanted to take action, he wouldn't have to explain to you for so long. In fact, Pindao invited Master to come here because he has something to do..."
With that said, Kong Qing took out a letter of challenge from his sleeve and handed it to Yuan Zangji.
"Zhenren Yuan, since your Patriarch Anqi of Fangxian Dao has said that he is at odds with Pingdao, Pingdao will help you. On the bright moon night of August 15th, on the top of Chang'an, Pingdao will discuss Taoism with you Fangxiandao.
If Pindao loses, it will be up to you to kill or behead him, but if Pindao wins, all of you Fang Xiandao people will get out of China for Pindao!"
