In Dinghai City, Zhoushan, Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue walked slowly.
In Dinghai City, it is still the same as before, mostly humans and monsters. However, in broad daylight, all the people walking on the road are humanoid, with at most a horn on the head, some scales on the arms, or skin color, hair, and eyes.
Strange. They were all well-dressed, and although some looked sinister, most of them were graceful and looked like strangers.
Wuxu followed his memory and walked into an alley. When he reached the depths, he found that the original site of Xuanying Gate had disappeared and had been merged into a mansion with high walls and a deep courtyard. Only the small door remained.
, stayed, but it was also tightly closed. The threshold was already covered with moss, as if it had not been opened for a long time. The original canvas with the word "book" in it that concealed infinite murderous intent was missing.
Traces.
Wuxu frowned and looked at the vaguely lingering black air above the mansion. He was deep in thought when he suddenly saw two demon cultivators flying over from the sky.
The cultivation level of these two demon cultivators was almost the same as that of Wuxu. Zhang Ruoyue's cultivation level revealed at the moment was naturally mostly transformed. Under the cover of their clothes, they were almost the same as ordinary people. They flew to the ground and headed towards Wuxu and
Zhang Ruoyue looked at it
, just now he raised his hands and said, "Two Taoist friends, why are you visiting my Dinghai City in Zhoushan?" Wuxu raised his hands and said, "I have long heard that there is a fairy mountain in Penglai, and I want to go to the East China Sea. I traveled here today. I don't know what you two have.
He Jianjiao?"
One of the two demon cultivators, seeing that Wuxu's words and deeds were quite polite, nodded and said, "Donghai Dragon Palace welcomes all comrades from all over the world. But in order to avoid misunderstandings, I would like to ask you two to follow me to the city lord's mansion for a brief report."
.”
"Donghai Dragon Palace, you really don't pay attention to fellow Taoists from all over the world." At this time, Zhang Ruoyue on the side couldn't help but say, "Tian, since he started practicing Taoism, he has been traveling around the world for hundreds of years, eating the wind and drinking the dew, traveling thousands of miles with each passing day.
, Chao Ci
White Emperor Caiyunjian, Xianlu Yunmengze flying in the evening, have never reported to any city lord's palace. Could it be that the East China Sea Dragon Palace also imitated the Mongols and divided the people of the world into four classes, and wanted to divide the world's monks as well?
Is there a noble or humble person?"
Opposite, another person suddenly changed his color and was about to speak, but was stopped by the previous person. That person, perhaps seeing that Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue were both at the seventh or eighth level of mortal world, was pondering and twirling his beard in an old-fashioned way.
He smiled and said, "Fellow Taoist Tian, you are serious. If you are an ordinary person, let him move and travel east of Hangzhou.
Who is going to watch the ants move? But it is these two Taoist friends with extraordinary cultivation that I, Donghai Dragon Palace, have just seen in a different light. The so-called asking you two to report to the city lord's mansion is so that the city lord can entertain him personally and then give him a famous assassination token.
If the two of you are within the sphere of influence of our East China Sea Dragon Palace, you can hold their assassination tokens and enjoy VIP treatment."
When he said this, Wuxu became interested. Before, Wuxu knew that the third prince of the Dragon King led the East Sea Demon to build the Dragon Palace barrier and landed on the mainland. After occupying a large area, he wanted to compete in the Central Plains and once he climbed to the great treasure,
To be the Ninth Five-Year Supreme Being in the world and implement many new policies, such as the coexistence and co-governance of humans and monsters, and the opening of maritime trade with Fusang in Japan, no matter how
Banning monks from the three sects of Confucianism and Taoism, etc. This move to win over monks sounds like it is different from other forces. You must know that although other forces also respect monks, they are also divided into sects and factions.
And if you are just passing by and have no effect, then a banquet and a meal will be enough. You will not be given a VIP gold card to spend money everywhere.
Wuxu stopped Zhang Ruoyue's subsequent words, smiled and cupped his hands towards the two demon cultivators, "I see, I would also like to ask two fellow Taoists from the East China Sea Dragon Palace to take us to the City Lord's Mansion."
The four of them then took off into the air and flew towards the city lord's mansion. As they were leaving, the demon cultivator who had been holding back and making no sound saw Wuxu looking at the mansion below as if nothing at all, and finally
He opened his mouth and said with a smile, "Looking at their auras, the two Taoist friends seem to be members of the Confucian sect. Confucius said that a gentleman does not talk about strange powers and chaotic spirits. But these two are not ordinary Confucian scholars. I don't know what to say about the haunted mansion below. What do you think?
"
Wuxu smiled slightly, "A gentleman doesn't talk about strange things and his power. The so-called strange things are not strange, and the strange things are self-defeating. What he upholds is that the body is upright and is not afraid of the shadow. The awe-inspiring righteousness in the world will last forever. The mansion below is haunted, but it is just a little bit of evil influence.
That’s all.”
The two demon cultivators paused Wuxu's bold words and couldn't help but glance at each other. The mansion below covers an area of hundreds of acres and is in a good location, but it is owned by an ordinary rich man. The reason for this is
The ghost aura in the southwest corner of the house. All the demon cultivators in Dinghai City, Zhoushan, recognize the origin of this ghost aura. It is not an ordinary ghost aura, but is almost on par with the Dragon King.
The black dragon envoy's unique evil spirit is not that no one can resolve it, but no one dares to do so. Although, this evil spirit of Shadow Shura is made of a pair of tattered cloth sails.
The word "book" floated out, and it was probably written casually by the Black Dragon envoy when he came to Dinghai City. However, it is better to stay away from the calligraphy and imprints left by the old man.
The two demon cultivators smiled at Wuxu in unison. Wuxu sighed secretly and said calmly, "It's just a ghost. The two Taoists smiled so mysteriously. Naturally, my two brothers couldn't talk about it."
Let’s see what happens.” Then he used the Haoran Kung Fu, mustered up the Haoran Qi, and flew down with Zhang Ruoyue.
This mansion was deserted, overgrown with weeds, and desolate. Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue fell from the sky and landed directly in a courtyard. This courtyard was the study that was previously the stronghold of Xuanying Sect in Dinghai City. The green stone path
, the eaves and corner windows are still the same pattern and style as before.
Wuxu led Zhang Ruoyue, meandering to a small building, and opened the dusty door with a creak. Inside, the scattered seats, and even the incomplete teacups, still retain the same appearance as when Wuxu first came here.
The state when Zhang Cuilu and others attacked and killed. Broken windows, rotten wood, a strong smell of corrosion, and the canvas with the word "book" attached to the roof beam, like a faded talisman.
Wuxu couldn't help but secretly applaud. He turned around and said to Zhang Ruoyue, "I'd like to trouble Fairy Ruoyue to protect the young monk outside. I'm very grateful."
After getting along with each other until now, Zhang Ruoyue already knew that the more polite and courteous Wuxu's tone and words were to her, the more determined his attitude was, and it could even be an incomparable break. She quietly withdrew.
Wuxu sat alone for a moment, recalled for a moment, took out the incomplete nine-leaf green lotus lamp, and silently lit it.
The black dragon envoy Wen Tianxiang's shadow Shura evil spirit, stimulated by the Buddha's light, continued to float out from the canvas with the word "book". Within a few breaths, it had filled the small building. The vague faces of Zhang Cuilu and others appeared in the small building.
The wick appeared around it, flying and spinning like a ghost in the darkness.
After realizing the void, he entered the Dharma Realm Dojo and sacrificed the energy of annihilation.
..
The black dragon envoy's unique ghost spirit was so powerful that no non-real cultivator could approach it safely. The two demon cultivators wanted to see a joke and let Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue hit the nail. After waiting for a while, they saw
to the mansion below
The ghost energy seemed to gradually fade away. At the same time, a piece of Confucianism's aura of righteousness slowly rose up. I couldn't help being shocked. I was about to fly down to see what happened when I saw Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue rising from the aura of awe-inspiring righteousness.
And rise.
"How did you two do it?" The demon cultivator who had previously encouraged Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue to go down asked directly in shock.
"Hmph!" Zhang Ruoyue snorted in a low voice, "We are practicing Confucianism. We are full of awe-inspiring righteousness and are just ghosts. What should we fear?"
Wuxu was at the side, closing his eyes and saying nothing, but deep down in his heart he felt like a turbulent wave. Just now, Wuxu wanted to use the black dragon messenger Wen Tianxiang's shadow Shura ghost energy to stimulate and suppress the nine-leaf green lotus lantern, and capture the consciousness of Zhang Cuilu, Lu Pingshan and others.
, who knew that when the Buddha's light and ghost's energy met, they would not give in to each other, fighting endlessly, and were completely out of control. Fortunately, I saw
The situation was not right, so I called Zhang Ruoyue urgently. Zhang Ruoyue shot out the light of the bright moon while releasing the Confucian aura of righteousness that he had just cultivated. Isolating the ghostly aura of the shadow Shura, he could extinguish the nine-leaf green lotus lamp in time. Otherwise, the Buddha's light would fight with the ghostly aura.
Under this, the consciousness of Zhang Cuilu, Lu Pingshan and others were either burned to protect the Dharma, or turned into ghosts.
The two demon cultivators knew that they were wrong. When they saw what Zhang Ruoyue said, Wuxu acted as if there was no one around, so they were not angry. On the contrary, they deliberately kept them close to each other along the way. When they arrived at the city lord's mansion, one of them greeted Wuxu and the other, and the other went straight inside to hurry.
Walked. After a while, a green-robed monk, surrounded by four or five demon cultivators, walked in from the side door on the north side of the hall with a smile. The demon cultivator who went in to report was naturally among them, so there is no need to go into details.
.
However, it was said that this green-robed monk, the Lord of Dinghai City, had a cultivation level of about the third level of a real person. He looked no different from a human being. Even the demonic aura was very light. It gave Wuxu the feeling that he was like a person with a very rich personality.
He is a veteran on the battlefield, and he is like a pampered rich man. He is unruly, yet quite reserved. Overall, he is a mixture of contradictions.
After the green-robed monk sat down, he exchanged a few warm words with Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue, then took out two pieces of dark green cold jade of the same size, stretched out his dark green fingers from his cuffs, shot out two green lights, and then
Turning it over, two pieces of dark green cold
Jade flew to Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue, "This is my East China Sea Dragon Palace Travel Order. Two Taoist friends, holding this token, can travel to the East China Sea unimpeded. If you have daily needs, you can also use this token to travel
Go to various inns and give orders."
This is the equivalent of a green card for future generations. Although Wuxu had heard about it and expected it, he still hesitated for a moment, put down his hand, took the Youyou Ling, touched it gently, and said with a smile, "The so-called nothingness
We should not be rewarded for our merits, but I am afraid that we deserve the kindness of the Lord of Donghai Dragon Palace and Mei City."
The Lord of Dinghai City, who claimed to be Mei Qianhua, waved his hands and said with a smile, "It's nothing to worry about. The Hongmeng has just opened, and all things are born, and there is no difference between them. The three emperors and five emperors, the human race prospered. And Confucius founded Confucianism.
According to the theory, the so-called Zi does not speak of strange powers and chaos, and the human race flourishes and is called the spirit of all things. However, tracing back to the origin, under the great road, aren’t the monks of all races one and the same? How can we distinguish between high and low, closeness and distance? "
"Well said!" Wuxu couldn't help but clapped his hands and applauded, "The limbs have fallen, the intelligence has been removed, and knowledge can be separated from the body, which is the same as Datong! Lord Mei, this is a very unintentional statement!" Then he put the Youyou Order in his sleeve.
"Falling limbs, dethroning intelligence, leaving the body to know, the same as Datong!" The green-robed lord of Dinghai City, Mei Qianhua, also smiled and said, "Mei liked Mencius the most in his life. The quote just quoted by fellow Daoist Song is quite surprising. Mei suddenly felt like an old friend at first sight." At this point, he stood up suddenly and shouted to a subordinate, "Come on, quickly prepare a banquet at the sea view platform. I want to serve two comrades. People are washed away by the wind."
At this moment, just after noon, what kind of banquet is there? Wuxu was about to refuse, but Zhang Ruoyue played with the dark green Youyou Ling and said, "May I ask Lord Mei, can you enter and leave the East China Sea Dragon Palace with this token?"
The dried plum smiled and replied, "Of course."
After this interruption and some exchange of words, Wuxu followed Mei Qianhua and Zhang Ruoyue and others out of the hall and headed towards a high platform in the city lord's palace.
On the high platform, Wuxu stepped up and saw the towers standing in Dinghai City. The cold light shining on the towers reminded Wuxu of the time when he led He Qifeng, Zhang Cuilu and others to assassinate the then defender of Dinghai City. The case of General Liao Xilong.
Liao Xilong should be a ghost monk who came from the outer world. He is good at using the sunset sword. In order to restore his cultivation skills, he secretly killed many humans and monsters in Dinghai City under the cover of the city guard general. It is a pity that in the end, Liao Xilong's spiritual body was allowed to escape. Now it is inferred that it probably went to Lushan Mountain.
After a while, the banquet began. Zhang Ruoyue, Mei Qianhua and other demon cultivators talked eloquently. Wu Xu couldn't help but secretly marveled, when did the demon cultivators from the East China Sea become so fond of Confucianism? Could it be that whether they are flying in the sky or in the water? Even if you are a good traveler, you become a human being and fall in love with the Four Books and Five Classics. Can you be a scholar?
Zhang Ruoyue seemed to be in high spirits, with an awe-inspiring aura lingering around her. Her lips parted slightly, her voice was neither urgent nor slow, and she and the demon cultivators at the table talked about Confucius, the Seventy-two Sages, and then Mencius. Her calm and relaxed expression was evident. Going up, she looks like a female doctor in the Chinese Department. It seems that she is willing to risk her life for the Youyou Ling that can freely enter and leave the East China Sea Dragon Palace.
"I am good at cultivating awe-inspiring aura! May I ask, what is awe-inspiring aura? It's hard to describe." The dried plum blossoms suddenly chanted, "It's hard to put into words! Dao Daoist Tian, what is awe-inspiring aura?"
After the unspeakable period, Mencius made many explanations and descriptions. But when Mei Qianhua suddenly asked this question, it was obvious that he was not trying to examine the following paragraphs, but wanted Zhang Ruoyue to explain what the awe-inspiring spirit was from the perspective of Zhang Ruoyue as a Confucian monk.
But Zhang Ruoyue waved her hand and replied, "The so-called aura of awe-inspiringness is the aura of uprightness and uprightness of our Confucian monks."
But I heard a demon cultivator at the table ask, "Aren't we demon cultivators upright and upright? Just like our city lord, we have been studying classics and history with the great scholars of the human race in Biyou Palace for many years, and now we have reached the realm of real people. , but why can’t I cultivate that awe-inspiring aura?”
This sentence is the key point. After the demon cultivator asked the question, all the demon cultivators, including the dried plum blossom, stared at Zhang Ruoyue with bright eyes. Zhang Ruoyue pointed to Wuxu next to him, "I'm afraid you have to ask me about this. Senior Brother Song. "The spiritual consciousness transmitted to Wuxu, "Dong Shi followed suit. The monster is a monster after all, and he still wants to cultivate the aura of awe-inspiring."
Wu Xu, smiled bitterly and said, "For the information of the city lord and you all, the so-called righteousness in the world is originally meant by Confucian scholars of the human race. Naturally, only human monks can cultivate it with Confucianism skills. Fellow Taoists, I am a demon. Our clan has other opportunities and countless methods, so why should we care about this? "
Mei Qianhua pondered for a moment and raised his glass to Wuxu, "Back then, Mr. Canglan also said something similar. Unfortunately, Mei's cultivation level was not high at that time and he had not fully understood it. Today, I heard Taoist friend Song mention it again. , Thinking about it carefully, I have benefited a lot." He raised his head, drank the wine in the glass, and his appearance and body changed. There were two horns on his head, his eyes shot out fierce light, his whole body was covered with scales, and there was a tail behind him, which gradually disappeared. In the thick demonic atmosphere.
"Haha, demons are demons, why do you need to learn to be human!" As the dried plums turned into laughter, traces of sticky liquid appeared in the air, and the smell was extremely fishy.
The faces of the other demon cultivators suddenly changed, and their expressions became solemn. One or two even stood up, looking at Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue with twinkling eyes.
"Be careful!" Zhang Ruoyue secretly transmitted the message. Under the wooden table, the Xingyun Bamboo Sword was already secretly held in his hand.
Only Wuxu put down the wine glass in his hand with a smile, smiled at the dried plum that had transformed into its original shape, and said with a smile, "I am good at cultivating Haoran's righteousness." The spiritual power circulated, and light white air currents surged out from all over the body, surrounding the body. Within three meters around Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue, not a trace of evil spirit or fishy odor could enter.
The dried plum turned into another burst of laughter, and he replied to Wuxu, "I am good at cultivating the awe-inspiring demonic aura." Then, the aura he had just released slowly subsided and disappeared, and shouted loudly, "Where is the singing and dancing?"
The sound of music rose from a distance, and a procession of beauties in colorful clothes, Shanshan, came.
Wuxu's eyes were sharp, and he immediately felt that one of the women below seemed to be quite impressive, but suddenly he couldn't really think about it. That woman, to put it more vulgarly, was quite pretty and knew how to dress up. Listening carefully, it sounded compared to what it looked like. They are both good at singing and dancing.
While he was looking and thinking carefully, he suddenly felt a stabbing pain in his waist. Wuxu lowered his head and saw that the emerald green tip of the Xingyun Bamboo Sword was touching the Kidney Yu point on his right side. When he raised his head again, there was a message from Zhang Ruoyue's divine consciousness. , "Master Wuxu, where is your righteousness?" But seeing her sitting upright, with a solemn expression, the awe-inspiring aura gushing out of her body, with a crystal luster, surrounded the two of them, forming a self-contained ball, turning the dried plums into demons. All the evil spirits released by Xiu were blocked outside.
At this time, the song and dance below was already in its second performance. The music changed suddenly, sometimes like a landslide and a tsunami, sometimes like the chirping of insects and apes. The woman slowly stepped forward and stood in the lead dance position. Then, she tightened her breasts and shoulders, She stretched her sleeves and danced with her belt, her facial features were almost squeezed together, and her colorful butterfly clothes were fluttering in the wind. Finally, she raised her head, rolled her eyes, raised her arms, and made a series of inhuman sounds.
Wuxu and Zhang Ruoyue were both startled, and then there was a trace of uneasiness on their faces.
This human woman is singing loudly in the language of the demon clan!
Neither Wuxu nor Zhang Ruoyue understands the language of the demon clan, but they have a strange feeling when they listen to their singing. Looking at the demon cultivators such as Mei Ganhua, although they are separated by layers of demon aura, the pleasant breath is flowing freely. , no need for too much induction.
