"Cousin, long time no see." Zhang Xiaowu and Zhuqian were waiting for Yang Jian and Yang Jian to return in Kumao Temple.
"Sure enough, it's you." Yang Jian was still talking and laughing with Chang'e when he came over, but when he saw Zhang Xiaowu, he immediately turned cold.
"I have met the fifth princess." Chang'e bowed and saluted.
"I have met Fairy Chang'e." Zhang Xiaowu returned the greeting. "Cousin, I..."
Zhang Xiaowu seemed to want to say something to Yang Jian, but Erlang Shen didn't want to pay attention to her at all. He took Chang'e and walked directly out of the village, followed by the swing who was counting money over and over again. When they arrived outside the village, Yang Jian turned around and said:
"This village should no longer exist."
"Ah!" Zhang Xiaowu was shocked, "But cousin, this is the emperor and his aunt..."
"I am the great god of justice, not your cousin!" Yang Jian said coldly, "Stop talking!"
"This... is to comply with the decree of the great god of justice." Zhang Xiaowu did not dare to say anything and could only follow the order.
Yang Jian took one last look at Zhangjia Village. His divine eyes burst out with a strong light that shone directly into the center of the village. Half of the inscriptions on the Xuanyuan Sword on the stone mill in the center of the village shone brightly. After a while, the inscriptions actually floated out from the stone. Erlang Shen reached out to grab the inscriptions.
Unexpectedly, a black crow suddenly flew out of the "cocoon" on the waist of the swing. The black bird spread its wings and touched it, and the inscription was printed directly on the crow's wings.
"Jade Bird Man, are you looking for death?!" Yang Jian was furious. This thing, even a personal relic, should not be allowed to be taken away by others. The eyes of the crow in the air opened slightly, and a nameless heat in Erlang God's body went straight to the soul. Yang Jian frowned.
Wrinkled, he ran the technique for a few rounds to refine the heat, then shook his head helplessly: "Oh~ that's all."
The crow cawed three times at the stone grinding stone in the distance, and then flew back to the waist of the swing.
During the "competition for inscriptions", Zhang Xiaowu, Zhang Jiacun and others were photographed in fear of Yang Jian's anger. Chang'e, who knew the identity of the Jade Bird Man, was worried that Yang Jian would conflict with him. Only the little fox on the swing counted the money seriously.
He didn't notice at all that his "pendant" almost caused a big disaster just now.
"Let's go!" Yang Jian used the auspicious clouds and Chang'e swing to fly away from Zhangjiacun.
Zhang Xiaowu and the good people of Zhangjiacun watched the formation being broken and the village exposed to the sun. Everyone was silent, not knowing whether it was sentimentality, regret, or confusion...
************************
Yuelao Palace.
Different from usual, the person sitting at the head of Yuelao Palace today is not Yuelao, but Zhang Bairen. "How?"
Yue Lao shook his head.
Zhang Bairen was disappointed: "The Fall of Stone Grinding failed to move him?"
Yue Lao shook his head.
"What a heart of stone!" Zhang Bairen said. "The inner demons have not been implanted in his body?"
"It should have been successful," Yue Lao said, "but it was destroyed by the Jade Bird Man."
"..." Zhang Bairen sighed, "It's a pity. Without that crow who is proficient in cause and effect, Yang Jian would never have been able to discover such a natural trap."
"Yes." Yue Lao said, "That crow is one of the two people with the heaviest karma in the past and present. He knows the most about cause and effect, understands karma best, and knows the best about merit. With him around, traps such as cause and effect will be difficult to succeed.
I just don’t know if Yang Jian predicted the crisis in advance and invited him to help or for some other reason.”
"It is very likely that he took the initiative to help." Outside Yuelao Palace, Zhang Xiaowu walked in, "I have met my father and Lord Yuelao."
"Yes." Yue Lao nodded, "That man has always been close to Yang Jian. Maybe he has already seen the two traps we set in Zhangjiacun."
"Two? It's three." Zhang Xiaowu said, "The red line has become deeper because of Yang Jian, Chang'e and Zhangjiacun. Now even the Hunyuan Golden Fairy can't save it."
What Zhang Xiaowu said did not get the response she expected. Yue Lao remained silent, while Zhang Bairen asked slightly questioningly: "Xiaowu, how is the situation of the Nine Sons of Zhiyang?"
"Reporting to my father," Zhang Xiaowu knelt down on one knee and said, "After eating the black fire of the Jade Bird Man, all the spells are gone, but it is true as he said, all the magic power is lost."
"That's it." Zhang Bairen said he understood.
"Father, please forgive me. Xiao Wu did not notify them and allowed them to absorb the core yang energy of the nine golden crow corpses without authorization, which almost led to the death of the body and soul. Xiao Wu is guilty." Princess Zhang said.
"No need to say more, go down." Zhang Bairen ordered.
"I... am..." Zhang Xiaowu bowed his head and exited the hall.
After the fifth princess left, Zhang Bairen said to Yue Lao: "The Golden Crow clan is indeed the spirit of the sun. Even the 'Nine Fire Sun Souls' we have cultivated for countless years cannot bear it. This supreme race that contains the rules of the great road is very difficult to deal with.
"Who is the Jade Emperor and what is the Yuelao Palace?
How could the things Zhang Xiaowu did be hidden from him? Zhang Bairen also wanted Zhiyang Jiuzi to touch the core of the Golden Crow corpse to improve his skills, but he was always a little worried and did not dare to try. After discovering his daughter's smart behavior, he
He went with the flow and did not let Yue Lao stop him.
Yue Lao said: "What your Majesty said is that the reason why Master Tongtian returned the Zuphoenix inner elixir to the three masters of Zuphoensis was probably because it could not be refined."
"What do you think should be done with those nine corpses?" Zhang Bairen said, "I always feel that it is a big hidden danger. Sun Star Lord has never given up on tracing the corpses. After the Jade Bird Man appeared, the Wa Palace also began to search for them in recent years.
Even Wuzhuang Guanzhen Yuanzi and Sakyamuni are quietly investigating."
"I think we should keep it," Yue Lao said.
"Continue to keep it?" Zhang Bairen said, "There is a saying in the world that 'it is a sin to hold a bi', not to mention that the 'bi' in our arms belongs to someone else."
Yue Lao said: "Back then, Your Majesty had not yet achieved the status of the Jade Emperor and was going through endless reincarnations. You were unable to escape and could only let me steal the Nine Golden Crow Body. At that time, I was worried today."
"oh?"
"However," Yue Lao said, "when the jade bird man appeared and his origin gradually became clear, I no longer worried. This 'bi' belongs to this little monster, not to Sun Star Lord, not to Wa Palace, nor to any other ambitions."
Boer's, they belong to that little crow. If my subordinates guessed correctly, the Jade Bird Man would have already known that the Golden Crow's body was in our hands, and might even know where it was hidden, but..."
"Just what?"
"It's just that he doesn't know whether he should meet them again in the last life." Yuelao said, "Your Majesty has been reincarnated for thousands of lives. You should understand that the past life and this life are the closest and most contradictory existences. If you are not careful, you may
Cause a catastrophe that threatens the origin. He probably doesn’t know how to face it yet, so even if he knows where the body is, he doesn’t know how to deal with it.
If there is any action. If he has to rob the road in Jiuli Mountain this time, he will not even dare to go to Zhuogu Spring. In this case, he will not ask for it for the time being, so we might as well keep it. Although there is no way to use the fire and Yang energy in the core of the corpse
, but the spiritual power they emit is also of great benefit to the cultivation of our palace staff. I think there is no need to worry too much."
"What you said makes some sense." Zhang Bairen said, "Okay then. That's it. The matter in Zhangjia Village is over. You let Xiao Wu arrange those good people according to plan. Remember, you have to beat Xiao Wu by the way, then
The child is so smart."
"My subordinate understands."
"The other thing is about Huang Tian." Zhang Bairen said, "They dared to expose the location of Zhangjiacun through Tang Monk's Buddhist scriptures. They are so bold that you should punish them." Although the situation in Zhangjiacun had been prepared for Yang Jian a long time ago,
but absolutely
It should not be exposed now, because there are many additional secrets of Yuelao Palace in the village. However, because Huang Tian asked Sun Wukong and others to change their route, the special team monitoring the Buddhist scriptures discovered the village, and Yuelao Palace had to end the "Zhangjia Village Plan" ahead of schedule.
Yue Lao said: "I understand. Not only Huang Tian, but all the 'Wutian Sect' should be dealt with."
