"Sure enough, it's the centipede spirit!" He Xie breathed a sigh of relief.
Even after death, those eyeballs in flesh and blood still fluctuated with strange energy. Even just looking at them made He Xie dizzy.
He quickly looked away and couldn't help but feel lucky that he didn't give this centipede spirit a chance to show off.
The reason why he acted so fiercely was because he discovered the ambush of the centipede spirit as soon as he arrived here, and also sensed the murderous intentions of the seven spider spirits.
Even without these, He Xie would never believe that this matter was so involved. The "Journey to the West Sect" would not notify these goblins to be on guard. With his mind, how could the acting skills of the spider goblins be hidden from him?
As for the centipede spirit, although it was invisible, its demonic power fluctuated and stood out in He Xie's eyes like a firefly in the dark night.
He Xie didn't know whether the centipede spirit really wanted to retreat after he called out the centipede spirit's whereabouts, and it didn't matter to He Xie.
He knew very well the relationship between this centipede spirit and the seven spider spirits. He also knew very well that this centipede spirit's eyes had even caught Sun Wukong. It was very powerful. How could he not strike first and eradicate the root?
He unfolded his consciousness and took a closer look to see if there were any fish that had slipped through the net.
Huh?
There really is!
He Xie's gaze fell on a rock behind him and his eyes narrowed.
"Wait a minute, Your Majesty! Wait a minute!"
The next moment, an old and panicked voice sounded, and the rock exploded into a cloud of smoke with a pop, transforming into an old man with a white beard on crutches.
The old man was wearing coarse clothes and looked very slovenly.
"Your Majesty, this little old man is the God of Pansiling Mountain. He came here to investigate just because he heard the noise. There is no malicious intention." The old man bowed to He Xie with an apologetic smile on his face, but his eyes were full of contentment.
He was vigilant and fearful, and he refused to move forward even an inch.
"Mountain God?" He Xie smiled half-heartedly, "Do you recognize me?"
The mountain god smiled bitterly and said: "Although I have never met the Venerable, how can I not recognize him?"
He muttered something vague and quickly changed the subject: "Your Majesty, by removing these monsters, you have eliminated a great scourge for this hundred miles. These monsters have been entrenched here for hundreds of years. I don't know how many innocent ghosts there have been. Your Majesty's move
The merits are immeasurable!”
He Xie took a deep look at the mountain god and said: "The monsters have been here for hundreds of years. As a mountain god, you allow them to do evil. Could it be that you have been colluding with them a long time ago?"
"It's unfair, sir!" The mountain god was startled and hurriedly cried out, "Your Majesty, you don't know something. This little old man is of humble status and has no morals. He is no match for these monsters. Regarding these monsters, I also reported to heaven this morning. It's just that heaven
It’s been a long time since gods have descended to the lower realm, and there’s nothing I can do about it.”
He Xie snorted coldly: "Don't be sophistical. If you really want to get rid of the demon, what are you doing hiding aside? I think you, the mountain god, have something evil in your heart, so I will take you first and go to Lingshan to ask the Buddha to discern the meaning of your words."
Authenticity.”
After saying that, he waved his sword and looked like he was about to take action.
The mountain god was so frightened that he repeatedly raised his hands and begged for mercy: "Sir, please calm down! I am really unjust. I dare not deceive you. Over the past few hundred years, all the incense in a radius of hundreds of miles has been occupied by these seven spider spirits. The little old man has been completely
There has been no incense income for six hundred years. The reason why I hide here is because..."
"Say!" He Xie's eyes widened and his tongue burst into laughter.
The mountain god was clever and said with a sad face: "The little old man actually wants to wait for the venerable to leave, collect the incense that these monsters will have time to absorb in the future, and repay the tribute owed to heaven for hundreds of years. There is really nothing I can do.
If you don't pay it back, I'm afraid I will be arrested and thrown into a prison with just one order!"
He Xie stared at the mountain god's eyes for a while and found no sign that the old man was lying. Then his face softened slightly and he said calmly: "Take me to the lair of these goblins."
The mountain god wiped away the cold sweat and hurriedly agreed.
Ten minutes later, He Xie summoned clouds, soared into the sky from Pansil Ridge, and landed in Huanghua Temple not far from here.
He didn't stay in this view for long, and soon he was on the road again in the clouds, heading towards the west.
After He Xie walked away, the old mountain god finally breathed a sigh of relief. He hurriedly ran to his mountain temple, pulled out a sacred tablet, and muttered something.
After a while, the magic card suddenly emitted a bright light, and the old mountain god hurriedly described in detail to the magic card what he had seen and heard before...
On top of the cloud, He Xie turned his hand, and two gourds appeared in his palm. When he shook it gently, water seemed to be swaying inside.
What is contained here is incense, which the eight fairies have not yet had time to enjoy.
He has tried to absorb some incense before. This thing has the effect of increasing spiritual consciousness, which is very rare. However, incense is the will of all living beings after all. It is very messy. If you absorb too much, it will be harmful.
It is worth mentioning that the incense collected by these monsters belongs entirely to them, because they have no family and no sect, so they do not need to offer the incense.
If you are a monk who belongs to the three major forces of Heaven or Buddhism and Taoism, when absorbing incense, a large part of it will escape while absorbing it. These escaped incense are actually taken away by the above.
If you are protected by a great religion, you will naturally have to make some contribution. Incense is the protection fee for the disciples of the great religion.
From this perspective, what these monsters stole was actually incense belonging to Western religions.
However, the incense that He Xie absorbed just now did not escape even half of it. The reason for this is because until now, he has not refined the Arhat Fruit status in his body.
In the past three years, He Xie has figured out the general idea of this fruition status through various methods and channels. This thing is indeed a good thing. As long as He Xie refines it, he will be blessed by the luck of the Western religion. With He Xie
I am afraid that my cultivation will immediately trigger a catastrophe, and my cultivation will be one step closer.
However, He Xie has been hesitating about this matter.
Fruit status is a thing created by the leader of the Western religion. Once he refines the fruit status, he will be bound to the Qi of the Western religion from now on, and will definitely be restrained by the Buddha. This is absolutely impossible.
accepted.
Fortunately, no one in the Western sect has ever urged him to refine his fruition status as soon as possible. Even Ananda only mentioned it once and never mentioned it again. This gave He Xie enough time to weigh the pros and cons.
After thinking about it for three years, He Xie also came up with a compromise method that could not only refine the fruit status but also minimize the disadvantages caused by it.
However, this compromise method requires the cooperation of Zhang Neng. He Xie did not dare to take out Zhang Neng rashly in Lingshan, so he has actually been waiting for this outing mission. He decided to just stay on top of this cloud.
The method you came up with to refine your fruition status.
