Hearing these words, Xie Sanniang's eyes suddenly opened wide and her face was full of disbelief.
If it weren't for her profound knowledge, I would almost doubt whether I heard it wrong.
The saint who reaches heaven!
This head of Qi actually said that he had the opportunity to take her to Shangqingtian to listen to the sermon of Tongtian Cult Master. This... was really a great opportunity.
Although she knows that this opportunity will never come to her so easily, she will definitely need to help Emei when she is in trouble, tide over the difficulties, and make enough contributions to the Emei Sword Sect, so that the other party can fulfill its obligations.
promise.
But that's enough.
She is never afraid of fighting with others or fighting to the death!
Ever since she opened her spiritual wisdom, she has been fighting with other poisonous insects and poisonous beasts in this poisonous enemy mountain for many years. When has she ever been afraid of fighting?
As long as she is given a chance, she will fight against heaven and earth without fear.
Just like back then, she fought for her life against monsters that were more ferocious than her for a few resources.
In the end, she survived and became the strongest demon king in the history of Poison Mountain.
As for her opponents, they had already been completely eaten by the mountains of poisonous insects, leaving no trace of their corpses.
Now, if this direct descendant of Jiejiao is willing to give her a promise, then she is willing to try her best to get a chance.
Although a sermon by Saint Tongtian may not be able to make her breakthrough, after all, he must be telling his disciples, and it is unlikely that he would open a small stove specifically for an outsider like her, but after this first time, she will
The second time around, she had plenty of time, so she just had to slowly accumulate merit.
Besides, listening to the sermons of saints, no matter what they say, it will inspire her. After cultivating to her current state, what she needs is the inspiration of various inspirations. Maybe she will be able to understand the beauty of the Tao in one fell swoop and let the Tao practice again.
Further.
As long as she enters the Shangqing Heaven, she will have the opportunity to get to know more great masters of Jie Jiao. If she can sit down and talk with those great masters, it will also be of great help to her. It will be much better than her practicing hard at the Poisonous Enemy Mountain.
Qi Yuan smiled slightly: "I never tell lies."
Yang Jian next to him heard this and rolled his eyes secretly, thinking that you had told a lot of lies back then.
But we were talking about business, so we didn't try to undermine him.
Qi Yuan ignored his uncle and just looked at the banshee with a gentle smile.
With his eyesight, he could certainly see that the banshee was attracted to her.
This is what he wants to see. He only needs to draw a big pie to get a golden immortal to work for him. Of course, it is the most cost-effective thing.
Of course, he is not a stingy person. After returning to Emei, he will also give him a lot of benefits. Otherwise, he will not be able to retain people's hearts and he may not be willing to contribute to Emei in the future.
As for taking her to Shangqingtian, it is not a big deal.
The leader of Tongtian Cult has mercy on all living beings, and his disciples are all educated and have no distinctions, so they don't care that he brings a demon clan golden immortal to listen to the sermon.
In fact, there are many outer disciples under the Tongtian Sect, but they are not his disciples. They are just because after going to Jin'ao Island to listen to his sermons, they felt that this is a saint whose teachings are all over the world.
Under his protection, I could not only find a strong supporter for myself, but also practice better, so I considered myself a disciple.
Just like the three thousand great masters who went to Zixiao Palace to listen to the sermons of Taoist Hongjun, the only ones who were actually accepted by Taoist Hongjun as disciples were Sanqing Nuwa and the others. Although the other great masters were also
Those who regard themselves as descendants of Tao ancestors have indeed received the methods passed down by Tao ancestors, but there is still a big difference.
"good!"
After hearing Qi Yuan's promise, Xie Sanniang immediately said: "As long as Master Qi keeps his word, I promise that I will sell my life to you Emei Sword Sect."
She is a demon and acts swiftly and neatly. Now that she has agreed to protect Emei, she immediately changes her position and will only focus on Emei's interests from now on.
In fact, if things like Qi Yuan hadn't happened, she would have planned to follow the example of other demon kings and enjoy life even though she couldn't see the way forward.
Maybe in the future, if I fall in love with a certain man, I will have the idea of getting married. Otherwise, wouldn't this long life be too boring?
However, now that Qi Yuan has seen the hope of further progress in the future, her heart has once again ignited a blazing fire of hope and a desire to fight.
Otherwise, when there is no hope of advancement, even a powerful Golden Immortal will still become what he once disliked the most. Once he indulges himself, it will be difficult to stop.
"sit."
Qi Yuan smiled and pointed to the table next to him, waving his hand to bring a pot of fine wine and several plates of fragrant spiritual food: "Come and try my cooking skills."
He was quite particular and did not give the scorpion monster a portion of fried scorpions.
Xie Sanniang was not polite and sat down directly.
Although this was originally her cave, now that she has taken refuge in Emei, the great Emei Mountain is naturally a place for her to practice.
Looking down at the plates of spiritual food in front of her, and smelling the aroma coming from them, Xie Sanniang couldn't help but praise: "I've long heard that the master is the founder of the spiritual chefs. Now that I see it, it turns out that he is well-deserved."
Although these were just a few ordinary plates of spiritual food, no matter from the perspective of color, smell, or taste, they were far better than the spiritual food she had tasted before.
She herself is a heterogeneous poisonous scorpion spirit. In her early years, she killed and devoured countless poisonous insects. Naturally, she was not afraid of food such as centipedes, poisonous snakes, etc., so she was very happy to eat.
Especially the pot of fairy wine made her eyes shine.
Sure enough, the fairy wine produced by the Lord of the Kitchen God Division was much stronger than the ordinary fairy wine. Whether it was the power of the fairy or other effects, it was far superior to ordinary ones.
Although she is not a drinker, these fairy wines not only taste sweet and fragrant, but also have a miraculous effect on nourishing the body. They are of great benefit both in terms of enjoyment and practical effects.
And she thought that in the future she would be the guardian elder of the Emei Sword Sect, which meant that she could enjoy these fairy wines for free without spending any resources.
Well, I heard that the Emei Sword Sect's Lingshan Hall provides a large amount of spiritual meals every day, which is much more comfortable than being here in Poison Mountain.
Thinking this way, she immediately felt a little satisfied in her heart.
After returning to Emei, I had resources, opportunities, magic formulas to learn from, and Daluo Jinxian to discuss Taoism. If I had known that I would get such a good treatment, I would have taken the initiative to join the army. How could I have the real master to come to my door?
Remembering that if she had not agreed, she would most likely have been fried into a scorpion, she was secretly glad in her heart.
Although she had to fight for Emei after taking refuge in Emei, fighting was nothing more than daily exercise for her.
In fact, after joining Emei, what she really has to worry about is whether she will have a chance to fight, because there are really not many forces in the Three Realms who dare to attack Emei.
Especially when the Demon Sect launched a massive invasion more than a hundred years ago, instead of capturing Emei, seven Golden Immortals were lost in succession. Even the leader of the Demon Sect, the Great Demon King Bo Xun, was forced to seize his body and rebuild the temple.
With such great results, who else dares to offend easily?
So Xie Sanniang was a little worried about whether she would be free. For a monster clan that had been fighting for many years, it would be too boring to have nothing to do all of a sudden.
During the dinner, Qi Yuan asked Xie Sanniang about her practice experience over the years. After getting a general understanding of her, he curiously asked about her sneaking into Lingshan Mountain to eavesdrop on Buddhist teachings.
"Actually, there's nothing much to say about this."
Xie Sanniang said: "Because I was unwilling to stop at cultivation, and wanted to become a Daluo Jinxian, but I had no other inheritance, so I thought of eavesdropping on the Buddha's lectures and learning from the Buddhist practice methods to see if I could break through myself.
I just didn’t expect that I had just sneaked into Lingshan Mountain and was discovered by Tathagata Buddha, who wanted to catch me, so I was stung and took the opportunity to escape.”
When she talked about stinging Tathagata Buddha, she seemed very proud in her words.
After all, he was a quasi-sage, and his Taoism was infinitely higher than hers. As a result, he was caught off guard and fell into the trap of his own misfortune.
"It's not that simple."
Qi Yuan wants to be the head, but he doesn't think that Xie Sanniang can sneak into Lingshan silently with Xie Sanniang's ability.
"Lingshan is a holy land of Buddhism. Even if the Forbidden Dharma Formation is not activated on weekdays, and even if those Vajra Arhats who protect the Dharma don't pay attention at all, the quasi-sage's magical powers are far beyond your imagination.
If you sneak into the Lingshan Hall, I'm afraid Tathagata Buddha would have discovered you as soon as you stepped onto the Lingshan Mountain."
"ah?"
Xie Sanniang was a little unconvinced, but she also thought that not only was the other party's Taoism far higher than hers, but she might also have come into contact with many quasi-sage powers. Unlike herself, she had only seen a quasi-sage like Tathagata in total.
"good."
Yang Jian also said: "I once heard my mother say that my uncle and aunt's magical powers are far beyond her imagination. Let alone anyone entering their palace, as long as they are willing, there are not many things that can be hidden in the entire heaven.
Their eyes and ears, it’s just that they don’t easily detect other gods.”
"Your uncle and aunt?"
The scorpion demon is a little confused.
What this means is that the identity of the elder brother-in-law who heads the real person is very unusual. Could it be that his uncle and aunt are both quasi-sages?
This is not to blame for her ignorance. The main reason is that Qi Yuan was too low-key when he got married. He didn't invite many people, and even his fellow disciples of Jiejiao didn't come to celebrate.
Moreover, a relatively remote and solitary demon king like the Scorpion Demon would certainly not deliberately learn about the gossip and family affairs of a person with whom she has no relationship. She is not that boring.
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "Erlang's uncle and aunt are the current rulers of the three realms."
As soon as these words came out, Xie Sanniang suddenly took a breath of air.
Of course she knew who the rulers of the three realms were, the Jade Emperor and the Golden Mother of Yaochi.
These two people are able to sit firmly in the heaven and control the power of the three realms not only because their backing is strong enough. If they are not capable, no matter how powerful the backing is, they will be ignored by others.
Unexpectedly, this handsome, tall, and powerful man would turn out to be the nephew of the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother.
Xie Sanniang secretly rejoiced in her heart. Fortunately, she did not seriously injure this person. Otherwise, if she had really offended the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, I am afraid she would be a part of the next peach banquet.
Of course, it’s not about attending a banquet to taste delicious food, but being tasted as delicious food.
But in this way, she also confirmed that she must have hidden a secret when she sneaked into Lingshan.
Recalling the previous behavior of Guanyin Bodhisattva who came to plead for mercy and tried to rescue him, it seems that Buddhism must have wanted to gain some benefit from him.
Fortunately, she was lucky and was favored by Master Qi, who recruited her to be the protector of the mountain gate. Otherwise, no matter what the Buddhist master wanted to do, it would not be a good result for her.
Not to mention anything else, among the demon king protectors who were forcibly converted by Buddhism, none of them had many restrictions in their bodies, and the Eight Heavenly Dragons were obedient and did not dare to resist at all, otherwise the harshest thing would be waiting for them.
punish.
But it's different when you take refuge in Emei.
Qi Yuan has not mentioned placing any forbidden spells in her body until now. Instead, he talked to her about various benefits after returning to Emei. He could even ask her to make improvements at any time if she was dissatisfied with it.
Compared to those demon clans who were forced to work hard in Buddhism but had no benefit at all, the difference was simply a matter of clouds and mud!
Without comparison, there is no sense of happiness. It is precisely because of the tragic contrast between the eight heavenly dragon protectors of Buddhism that Xie Sanniang feels a little drifting in her heart, as if she is in the clouds.
"You don't have to worry that Buddhism will cause trouble for you in the future. Now that you have taken refuge in Emei, you are now a member of my Emei Sword Sect. I will take over the cause and effect between you and Buddhism for you."
Seeing her changing expression, Qi Yuan thought she was worried that Buddhism would cause trouble for her in the future, so he spoke to comfort her.
"Thank you, Mr. Master."
Xie Sanniang quickly thanked her.
Although she is not afraid of fighting, if Buddhism plots against her, she will really be unable to withstand it.
"No need to be polite to me."
Qi Yuan smiled and said: "After we have had enough wine and food, let's go now.
Although your cave has been turned over by Ling'er and the others, I didn't let them disturb your place of residence, and it was still well preserved.
You go and take some things you need to take with you, and we will leave here and return to Emei later."
"yes."
Xie Sanniang agreed and got up to pack her things.
Although she has her two usual treasures with her, and the other things are not particularly precious to her, after all, this is a cave where she has lived for tens of thousands of years, and there are naturally many beloved things in it, so she took them with her.
good.
This place will definitely be occupied by other demon kings in the future, so there is no need to leave your things for other demon kings to destroy.
The Golden Immortal was able to pack things up very quickly. He just used the Sumeru magic weapon to put all the things into it. It was simple and quick, and not much time was wasted.
The group of people came out of Pipa Cave, rode on the clouds, and prepared to go east.
Qi Yuan looked back to the west and couldn't help but sigh.
"What's wrong?"
Yang Jian asked.
"I was wondering whether I should go and bring back a few more demon kings."
Qi Yuan said leisurely.
"Why do you think this way?"
Yang Jian was puzzled: "There are many demon kings in the world, but those who have not offended you, there is no need to provoke others for no reason.
Besides, if you wanted to take it away, you could have taken it away a long time ago. Why are you thinking about it now?
You’re not going to find a few more just because you accepted Xie Sanniang as your Emei protector today, are you?”
"it's not true."
Qi Yuan shook his head and said: "The reason why I had this idea is mainly because Guanshiyin Bodhisattva intervened in my battle when he came over today."
His tone was light and his expression was indifferent: "Since Buddhism can interfere in my affairs for no reason, then it seems reasonable for me to do one or two things that make them unhappy!"
