Chapter five hundred and sixty-six the old man is innocent
Qi Yuan was very dissatisfied.
If it was really because of Guanyin's intervention that the scorpion demon escaped, then his trip would have been in vain.
Not only did it not solve the problem, it also left behind an enemy who would inevitably have to deal with the scorpion demon again in the future.
That would cause him a lot of trouble.
After all, the scorpion demon is a powerful demon king of Jinxian Taoism. It is so difficult for even Yang Jian to deal with it. If he really goes against Emei, how many Emei disciples will be killed secretly?
Therefore, he will not allow the scorpion demon to escape.
This is also the reason why even though he knew that Guanyin Bodhisattva had come to intercede, he still ignored her. He did not reply to her words until the scorpion demon was completely suppressed.
In fact, before Guanyin came closer, she had thought about whether to rescue the scorpion demon from under the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Although the World-Destroying Black Lotus is powerful, she and Xie Sanniang are not without the slightest chance if they join forces internally and externally.
The mutton-fat jade purification bottle she is holding in her hand is a top-grade innate spiritual treasure, and its power is naturally not weak. The water contained in it is also not an ordinary spiritual water, but the Three Lights given to her by Yuanshi Tianzun in the early years.
Divine water.
The three-light divine water also has endless magical uses. The sunlight divine water can dissolve all things in the world, flesh and bones. The moonlight divine water can corrode everything, including the soul of the soul. The starlight divine water can dissolve all tangible and intangible things into nothingness, even the most original truth.
Spirit mark.
Once these three powerful divine waters are fused into one, they are not only infinitely powerful, but also have the ability to change. They can transform all forces into healing holy objects, detoxify all poisons in the world, and restore all vitality to all living things.
Although the injuries she suffered in the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in her early years were serious, the more important thing was the damage to the origin of the avenue. If it was just a physical injury, it could be treated directly with the Three Lights Divine Water, and there would be no need to betray the master and go to the West.
In addition to the Three Light Divine Water, the willow branch inserted in her mutton-fat jade purifying bottle is not a mortal thing, but a weeping willow tree that she obtained by chance and was contaminated with innate energy.
It's just that except for a few limited places in the Three Realms, there are not many places suitable for the growth of innate spiritual creatures, so she turned this spiritual tree into a willow branch and raised it in the Three Lights Divine Water.
The willow branch has infinite vitality, complements each other with the Three Light Divine Water, and is infinitely powerful. If she really wants to use her full strength, she feels that she should be able to rescue Xie Sanniang from under the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
However, after the two willow branches she sent from afar were cut off by Qi Yuan, she became extremely fearful and did not dare to take action easily again, lest Qi Yuan would find an excuse to fight her to the death.
At this time, this junior, who had hardly appeared in her eyes during the Battle of the Gods, had now achieved Da Luo one step ahead of her. With the sharpness of Qi Yuan's sword skills just now, she really didn't dare to offend Qi Yuan.
Yuan takes action against her.
It hasn't been long since her Daoyuan injury has recovered. If she were to be seriously injured by Qi Yuan again and delay her promotion to Daluo, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
Over the years, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva has diligently practiced Buddhism and cultivated many merits. He has a lot of good luck and is ranked among the four great Bodhisattvas in Buddhism. He even competes with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva for the throne of the first Bodhisattva. He is not willing to die just because of a monster.
Miss your opportunity.
Therefore, she endured it and said with a smile: "I was reckless earlier, and I would like to apologize to fellow Taoist Qi."
Then she said: "This scorpion monster had previously sneaked into Lingshan Mountain to eavesdrop on the Buddha's sermons. The Buddha was not paying attention for a moment and was stung by her on his finger. When the Dharma Protector captured her, the monster accidentally ran away.
However, I, Buddha Tathagata, once said that this monster has a destiny with my Buddhist sect, and his life should not be cut off at this time. How about asking fellow Taoist Qi to give me some face and hand over this monster to me?"
"good!"
Qi Yuan nodded.
"...Fellow Taoist, you...agree?"
Guanyin was startled and asked hesitantly.
She had already prepared herself to be rejected by Qi Yuan, and was preparing to use her emotions to reason, come up with all kinds of great principles, and bring out the Tathagata Buddha and the unstoppable development momentum of Buddhism to make Qi Yuan succumb.
of.
As a result, before she could say anything, Qi Yuan actually agreed?
This was completely different from what she had expected!
After all, a few years ago, after King Huangfeng of Huangfengling provoked the head of Emei, Lingji Bodhisattva went to plead for mercy, but he did not show mercy at all.
Lingji had been troubled by this for a long time. After all, the Yellow Wind Demon King was supposed to be surrendered to him and brought back to be his protector, but Qi Baimei killed him without saying a word.
Why is this junior Qi Baimei so talkative now?
Guanyin fell into doubts.
"What's your price?"
Qi Yuan asked.
"ah?"
Guanyin was stunned: "What price?"
Qi Yuan frowned: "Don't you want me to sell you some face? My face is very valuable.
Since you want to negotiate a deal with me, of course you have to offer a price that satisfies me."
"..."
Guanyin was silent.
What kind of logic is this?
It seems that Qi Baimei is really not an easy person to get along with, and he will not let himself take advantage of this.
Qi Yuan continued: "I have always been a childlike person when doing business. I think Bodhisattva should know this.
Even if you don’t know, you can go to heaven and ask someone casually to find out that all the forces in the three realms buy fairy wine or hire spiritual chefs from the Kitchen God Division, and the price is the most reasonable."
Guanyin maintained a kind smile like a spring breeze on her face, but secretly she was full of curses.
Among the three realms, your Kitchen God Division is the most evil-minded. The price of the fairy wine sold is much higher than that of other forces. The price of those fairy wines with unique effects is even more shocking.
Just like the Yang Yang wine brewed for ghosts and immortals in the underworld, nearly 30% of the ghosts and immortals in the entire Netherworld owe a large debt to the Kitchen God Division because they cannot afford the resources. It is not known how many years it will take to pay off the debt.
However, none of those ghost fairies who are usually extremely fierce dare not repay their debts, otherwise there are ghost fairies who are willing to please the Kitchen God Division and capture those old scoundrels to the Kitchen God Division to receive rewards.
There are also special fairy wines specially brewed for many demon clans, which are even more expensive.
Since the founding of the Kitchen God Division, it is unknown how many cultivation resources have been obtained from various forces in the three realms. Otherwise, how could you have been able to support so many disciples in the entire Emei?
If it weren't for those alternative fairy wines that only you, the Kitchen God Division, could brew, I'm afraid many forces would have been unwilling to have any dealings with the Kitchen God Division.
A guy who is so evil-hearted in plundering the cultivation resources of the three realms has the nerve to say that he is the most fair in his dealings. It is really a joke.
Moreover, the Golden Immortal Demon King can actually be traded as goods. This is the first time since the beginning of the world.
This makes Guanyin feel very uncomfortable, after all, she is still in the Golden Immortal realm.
"What does Fellow Daoist Qi want?"
She didn't want to stay with Qi Yuan for too long, otherwise she was worried that her mentality would collapse, so she simply asked Qi Yuan what he wanted.
She felt that Qi Yuan should be planning to exchange some promises from Buddhism, such as that Buddhism would not violate the interests of the Emei Sword Sect when preaching in the East.
Qi Yuan saw her taking the initiative to ask the price, so a false smile appeared on his face: "Since we are doing business, of course we must clearly explain the value of the goods before we can negotiate the price."
As he said that, he turned his eyes and glanced at the World-Destroying Black Lotus held in his hand. Inside the black lotus, Xie Sanniang's figure looked only a few inches in size. She was as delicate and cute as a Thumbelina, completely different from the previous figure.
Such a fierce and demonic appearance makes people want to tease him.
Of course, if she is really released, she will definitely be in another form.
Moreover, Qi Yuan really didn't dare to catch her, otherwise he would have suffered a nasty blow from the banshee.
"How much my face is worth will be discussed later. However, just now Bodhisattva said that this scorpion demon can even sting Tathagata Buddha. Even if it is just a surprise, it can be seen that it is far more powerful than other demon kings."
Guanyin suddenly regretted it.
Why did she say those words just now? It was not clear that she gave this treacherous person a reason to raise the price!
"Moreover, this demon has strong magical power and amazing supernatural powers. It can actually fight equally with Yang Jian, who has practiced eight or nine mysterious skills."
Yang Jian's expression behind him remained unchanged, but he felt a little embarrassed in his heart.
This is really a pot that cannot be opened.
If you want to do business, you can just sell a Golden Immortal Demon King. Why did you bring me out too? I don't want to lose face?
Qi Yuan pretended not to see Yang Jian's glare and said: "Such a powerful Golden Immortal Demon King has special magical powers. The price must be worth several innate spiritual treasures, right?"
He turned his attention to the mutton-fat jade bottle in Guanyin's hand and smiled: "I think the bottle in the Bodhisattva's hand is pretty good. Hey, this willow branch is actually an innate spiritual root?
Although it is not as precious as the ginseng fruit of the flat peach tree, and it cannot produce fairy fruits, it is still an innate thing, and it still has some wonderful uses.
Oh, this bottle contains the Three Light Divine Water. I have long wanted to get some for my girl to refine her sword, but I never had the chance."
If Qi Lingyun's Tianyi Divine Water Sword can be refined with the Three Light Divine Water, it will definitely increase the power of her flying sword.
It is a pity that the Three Light Divine Water is so rare that there is not much of it in the entire Three Realms. Most of it was rewarded by Yuanshi Tianzun to his disciple Cihang Taoist. The rest are in the hands of a few powerful people who cannot escape the world. Even with Qi Yuan's
Even if you don't have the ability, you won't have the chance to get this kind of treasure.
Qi Yuan's eyes shone brightly, he stared at the Lingbao in Guanyin's hand and praised a few times, then looked at the lotus platform at her feet, frowned and said with disgust: "This lotus platform should be in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool.
A growing lotus, right?
Although it is contaminated with the aura of merit and virtue, it is only at the seventh level. The level is lower, but it is not as good as the innate spiritual treasure. It is better for the Bodhisattva to find one or two other treasures."
After hearing Qi Yuan's words, the Bodhisattva was almost furious.
I had known for a long time that this guy was a greedy guy, but I never thought that he would be so greedy. Not only did he want all the spiritual treasures in his body, but he also wanted one or two more from Buddhism. He must be mentally ill!
Innate spiritual treasures are so rare. This young man has several of them in one mouthful. Do you really think that innate spiritual treasures are so easy to obtain?
If Qi Yuan just wants to negotiate terms with Buddhism and asks for a few spiritual treasures, that's all. But if it comes to him, Guanyin won't be happy.
She only has a few treasures on her body, and she still has to keep them for self-defense. How could she be willing to give away her spiritual treasures in exchange for a chance to survive for a hidden child in the future of Buddhism?
When Qi Yuan saw her looking at him like she was mentally retarded, he immediately showed displeasure: "Why is Bodhisattva looking at Pindao like that? This is a golden fairy demon king. The price Pindao wants is fair. Do you agree?" Just agree, forget it if you don’t agree. The so-called business cannot be done without benevolence and righteousness. If it doesn’t work out this time, there will be opportunities for cooperation next time.”
Guanyin shook her head slightly and said: "The conditions proposed by Fellow Daoist Qi are too harsh. I only have these few treasures on my body. It is impossible to exchange them all for a monster with you."
"Oh, forget it."
There was no trace of regret on Qi Yuan's face.
He did not expect this transaction to be successful in the first place, and the reason why he said these words was just to dispel Guanyin's thoughts, so as to prevent the other party from pestering him.
"It's better than this."
Guanyin took a deep breath, calmed down her emotions, and then said: "The great prosperity of my Buddhist sect is determined by the way of heaven. Soon, my Buddhist teachings will be fully spread throughout the Eastern Land.
If fellow Taoist disciples are willing to give me face and leave this banshee to the disposal of my Buddhist sect, I can make the decision and promise you that the Buddhist sect will definitely not interfere with the interests of your Emei Sword Sect in the future, what do you think?"
"hehe……"
Qi Yuan had a smile on his face and looked at the other person with indifferent eyes: "When it comes to doing business, the Bodhisattva is the expert. This trick is used by the white wolf with empty gloves and white teeth. He said such a big statement, just like taking away the Golden Immortal Demon King that I worked so hard to capture, it was really a good plan."
Guanyin frowned: "That's not what I meant."
"That's threatening me!"
Qi Yuan's face gradually darkened: "Then you mean that as long as I don't agree, your Buddhist sect will definitely encroach on the interests of my Emei Sword Sect?
Humph, I, Qi Baimei, have been practicing so far, and I have never been afraid of threats from others. If you want to steal food from the tiger's mouth in Emei, it depends on whether your Buddhist bald head is stronger or the flying sword of my disciple is sharper."
"you……"
Guanyin's brows furrowed.
She didn't expect Qi Baimei to be able to interpret so many meanings from her words. This gave her a deep headache and she didn't know how to refute it for a while.
She deliberately said that Buddhism would not compete with Emei for territory, but she did not believe it herself.
Even if those Buddhist disciples really don't affect the interests of Emei, they will definitely affect the interests of other Shangqing lineages.
After all, most of the spiritual places suitable for practice in Kyushu are occupied by Taoist sects. If Buddhism wants to flourish in the East, it will inevitably have conflicts with the Taoist inheritance everywhere, and it will inevitably involve the Emei Sword in the end. On the head of the pie.
She cast her gaze on Yang Jian, who was not far away, and said: "Master Nephew Yang, how about you help me persuade fellow Taoist Qi, if he is willing to let this scorpion demon go, I owe you a favor, okay?"
Yang Jian glanced at her lightly: "When Senior Uncle Cihang left Chanjiao and went to the West, he was no longer my Senior Uncle.
The Bodhisattva is now a Bodhisattva in Western Buddhism. It is better not to call me master and nephew. Otherwise, I am afraid that my master will misunderstand me. If he thinks that I have the same alien intentions as the traitor Wei Huna, he will deal with me according to the canon.
Aren’t you suffering for nothing?”
Guanyin was choked by his words and was speechless.
What can she say and what can she say?
You can’t say that my uncle, Master, had no choice but to betray my sect and join the West, right?
To put it bluntly, it's not because Yuanshi Tianzun is no longer in the Three Realms. Even if they really go to Tianwaitian in the future, they will be protected by the Two Saints of the West and are not afraid of being targeted. That's why they were moved by Ran Deng's words and felt that after converting to Western Taoism, they can not only
Let them recover from their injuries in a very short period of time, and also practice Buddhism and Buddhism at the same time. Their future prospects will be broader, and they will have more opportunities to attain enlightenment!
In fact, this is also the case. She has now found her own way to advance to the realm of Daluo. As long as she practices hard for a period of time, she can achieve Daluo Golden Immortal.
And if you still stay in Chanjiao, let alone being promoted to Da Luo, there is no telling when you will be able to recover from your injuries.
Just like Yang Jian's master Yuding Zhenren and Nezha's master Taiyi Zhenren, aren't they both still in seclusion in the cave, struggling to repair themselves?
So, she has no regrets.
In order to realize the Tao, Ran Deng first went to Chanjiao and then to the West. Now he has become a quasi-sage and is called Buddha and Patriarch. The heaven and earth will be destroyed but he will not be destroyed. These achievements make her envious.
If Ran Deng can do it, why can't she?
With the Deng Deng Buddha guiding the way ahead, she didn't mind trying along the same path Deng Deng walked.
In order to practice, she will do whatever it takes, just like the reason why she was reincarnated as a girl in this life is because being a woman makes it easier for her to spread her Dharma and gain more faith.
Now her efforts are about to bear fruit.
In a short time, when she achieves Daluo, she will be able to leave Master Yuding and Master Taiyi far behind her in Taoism, and become the existence that she envied at the beginning.
Although she does not regret her choice, it does not mean that other disciples of the Chan Cult do not care about their original betrayal.
That's why Yang Jian said these words in a cold and calm manner. On the surface, he was drawing a clear line with her, but in fact, he was secretly mocking her.
Especially Wei Hu, that guy started very early. During the Great Tribulation of Conferring Gods, he was one of the best among the three generations of disciples of the Chan Cult. However, after the Great Tribulation, he was also lured into Buddhism by Ran Deng.
But he is not doing too well now.
When he went to the West with him, he only had the path of an immortal. After Ran Deng became the Buddha, even if he wanted to take care of him, he could not be promoted to a Bodhisattva, so in the end he was only granted the title of Protector.
It's just a position.
Although his strength has improved a lot after turning to Buddhism in recent years, and he can rival Taoist Taiyi Xuanxian, but he only added the word "King Kong" after the "Dharma Protector".
Although the Dharma Protector Vajra sounds quite majestic, it is actually just a Dharma Protector of Buddhism, and his status is really not high, so Yang Jian directly compared him with him.
Anyway, Yang Jian has now become a Golden Immortal, and his Taoism far exceeds that of Wei Hu, so he has no fear that he will take revenge.
Guanyin glanced at Yang Jian, and then at the World-Destroying Black Lotus in Qi Yuan's hand. She knew that she would also fail this time.
In fact, since the defeat of Lingji Bodhisattva in Huangfengling, Buddhists have analyzed Qi Baimei, including his Emei Sword Sect, and found out that these swordsmen are relatively straight-tempered, not only aggressive by nature, but also relatively accepting of death.
, determined things will not change easily.
So Guanyin had already considered failure before she came. Although she felt a little regretful now, she had nothing to do.
She hasn't become Da Luo yet, but she can't beat Qi Yuan.
Moreover, now is not the time to start a war with the Taoist sect. She and Qi Yuan are both high-level leaders of Buddhism and Taoism, and they cannot start fighting casually. This will trigger a strong reaction from the two sects, and a big mess will occur if they are not careful.
Guanyin did not persuade Qi Yuan to let go of the scorpion demon, but sighed: "It's a pity that such a rare ancient alien species should die like this."
After saying that, she saluted with one hand: "Since Taoist Fellow Qi is unwilling to do this for convenience, let's just drop this matter and leave as a poor monk."
Qi Yuan glanced at her with a strange expression and thought to himself, which of your ears heard that I was going to kill this goblin?
However, there was no need for him to explain to the other party. He just nodded lightly and said without sincerity: "Bodhisattva, please go slowly. I will not send you far."
After Guanyin turned around, he had already turned around and walked towards Yang Jian and others before they could fly away.
After all, we are not traveling together, so why bother to watch the other person leave in a pretentious manner.
