Chapter 177 Chen Xi Is Happy to Be a Father (6k!)
At the same time.
In the broken left courtyard.
Originally, the celestial spirit was floating, like the pure and true Qingfeng, but now he was surrounded by black air.
He looked at the broken jade pendant in his hand, tears of blood in his eyes, and clenched his teeth.
The black air kept rising and spreading, making his face look particularly hideous.
"After all, I still couldn't defend the Master's Wuzhuang Temple?"
Qingfeng murmured to himself, listening to the fighting and noise in Wuzhuang Temple, his face was painful.
He closed his eyes and recalled the Master's words before leaving.
"The Buddha invited me to go to Lingshan to attend the Yulan Festival."
"But once I go, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
"Qingfeng and Mingyue, you two stay at home and be careful. No matter what happens, remember to guard the ginseng fruit tree."
"If I don't come back soon, and Wuzhuang Temple encounters a major change, and you can't handle it, go find the golden hammer..."
Qingfeng slowly opened his eyes, and his face became firm again.
He tightly grasped the broken jade pendant in his hand and looked at the Taoist priests who rushed over.
These Taoist priests are different from the crazy Taoist priests before.
They are green all over, with bulging foreheads, but their hair is black and shiny, and their eyes are clear.
Although they are also demons, they are obviously still rational.
These Taoist priests who rushed over saw the broken jade pendant in Qingfeng's hand, and they immediately looked sad.
"Junior Brother Qingfeng... I'm sorry for the loss."
"Junior Sister Mingyue has been holding on for so long, but she couldn't hold on until Master came back."
"Now that Junior Sister Mingyue has passed away, the entire Wuzhuang Temple is on your shoulders, Junior Brother Qingfeng."
"Can you hold on in your current state?"
Qingfeng listened to the concerned words of his senior brothers, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded.
A red light flashed in his eyes, as if he was about to become a demon.
But Qingfeng is Qingfeng after all, and he quickly suppressed this abnormality.
"The demonic nature has not yet entered my marrow, and I can hold on for a while."
"How about you, senior brothers?"
The Taoist priests smiled bitterly when they heard this.
They lowered their heads silently and looked at their gradually decaying bodies.
One of the Taoist priests smiled bitterly.
"The three stars' blessing has dissipated for some reason, and we are going to die soon."
"But if we can hold on for a few hours and keep our sanity, it shouldn't be a problem."
"Most of the brothers who can still move have gone to the back garden now."
"Brother Qingfeng, no matter what, just do it..."
Qingfeng had a complicated look on his face when he heard this.
But soon, he calmed down and spoke solemnly word by word.
"Brothers, take care of yourselves!"
After Qingfeng finished speaking, he drew out his magic sword, turned into a wisp of wind, and left slowly.
"Mingyue..."
"Don't worry, I will do my best to complete the master's instructions."
"Now that things can't be done, then knock down the ginseng fruit tree and destroy the things under the tree, so that it won't bring disaster to the world..."
...
The ginseng fruit tree that covered the sky and the sun was full of fruit fragrance, which lasted for a long time.
This strange fragrance enveloped the entire Wanshou Mountain.
When many demons smelled it, their eyes turned red and their faces showed greed.
They were like crazy, disregarding life and death, and desperately went towards the ginseng fruit tree.
And the crazy Taoist priests who were entangled with the roots of the tree grew out from the roots and blocked them.
Many ginseng spirits that were supposed to be timid by nature were now actively cruising here.
They waved their dense roots and cooperated with the blood infants to strangle the demons.
The demons that died in their hands had shriveled bodies, and their blood and flesh essences were all turned into nutrients, flowing through the roots to the ginseng fruit tree.
However, the demons were not completely powerless to resist.
They were overwhelmed by greed and were particularly ferocious. They burned, killed, looted, and fought hard.
The situation in the field was in chaos.
And at this time, in the already chaotic situation, another force joined.
It was a group of Taoist priests who were green all over, but still rational.
They avoided the demons who were red-eyed and intervened in the battle.
The Taoists held magic swords, pinched their fingers, and talismans flew and cast spells.
They specifically targeted the ginseng spirits and blood babies, chasing them relentlessly, making the situation more chaotic.
The huge back garden seemed to have turned into a scorched battlefield, with endless fighting and entanglement...
"It's getting chaotic..."
Chen Xi sat cross-legged on the twelfth-grade flesh and blood lotus platform, looking down at the chaotic scene below, with a rather strange expression.
He had seen this scene countless times.
He was like a disaster star, wherever he was, there would be trouble.
Chen Xi shook his head and turned his eyes to the Ruyi Book in his hand.
The Ruyi Book was quite mysterious, like a dream.
His mind moved, and he opened the Ruyi Book.
On the Ruyi Book, the thirty-six Tiangang techniques were at the top, looming and unclear.
The 72 Disha techniques are brilliant and full of Taoism.
Whether it is Tiangang or Disha, any magical skill that spreads out may cause disasters.
And now all these magic skills have fallen into the hands of Chen Xi.
The trip to Wuzhuang Temple is a great harvest.
Chen Xi is just short of means. With this Ruyi Book, he will be able to deal with demons in various ways in the future.
But it is a pity that if you want to learn the magic skills above, you need enough Taoism.
Although Chen Xi is now equal to a great demon, his cultivation is not profound.
Until now, the Heart Sutra has only been cultivated to the level of ear consciousness.
This has led to Chen Xi's inability to understand the more mysterious Tiangang magic method that has the ability to penetrate the sky and the earth.
Only a few of the 72 Disha techniques can be practiced.
But the good news is that Chen Xi can speed up this process by eating demon meat...
At this moment, the seal characters representing the continuation head on the Ruyi Book are shining and glittering.
Obviously, Chen Xi has already lit up the continuation head and learned the magic method.
"It seems that the monk Daosheng did not lie..."
"The beheading protection method he taught me is indeed the continuation head of the 72 Disha techniques."
Chen Xi's eyes wandered, and he secretly wondered which 72 Disha techniques he should light up first to help the situation in the future.
He had eaten the flesh of demons along the way, and the Taoism he had accumulated was enough to light up one of the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques.
"The nightmare prayer that Mingyue had performed before could make me fall into an illusion and could not extricate myself. It was really mysterious and unpredictable."
"Perhaps this would be a good choice..."
Chen Xi's eyes flickered, and he was moved.
But he suddenly seemed to have thought of something!
Chen Xi narrowed his eyes and looked at the 72 Earthly Evil Techniques, which could be used to summon and dispatch mountain gods, land gods, ghosts, and yellow turban warriors... to drive away gods.
At the moment, what he lacked the most was not actually any means.
Ordinary big demons might not be enough to burn him with karmic fire.
What Chen Xi really lacked was information. Although he had learned a lot about Wuzhuang Temple, he was still a little confused.
Especially the current changes caught him off guard and at a loss.
Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you win every battle.
Chen Xi didn't want to come all this way and end up here inexplicably.
In this case, driving away the gods seems to be a good choice...
If he remembers correctly, there is a land god on Wanshou Mountain.
I don't know if the old land god here still exists in this demon-ridden world.
Chen Xi's lips moved and he spoke.
"The gate of heaven moves, the gate of earth opens..."
"The wind comes from the tiger, the clouds come from the dragon..."
On the Ruyi Book, the immortal seal representing driving away the gods radiates light and shines brightly.
Chen Xi's heart was filled with blessing, and he suddenly paused with the nine-ring tin staff in his hand.
"Where is the land god of Wanshou Mountain?"
As soon as these words came out, the surroundings suddenly changed.
Faintly, it seemed that something woke up.
Chen Xi was delighted to see this. It was indeed a technique of driving away gods, and it could really mobilize the old land god.
The next moment!
A puff of yellow smoke suddenly emerged from the ground...
"Cough cough cough! Cough cough cough..."
Then, a half-dead cough sound came from the yellow smoke.
Chen Xi looked closely and saw a three-foot-tall old man holding a walking stick, shaped like a clay figurine, coming out from the ground.
As soon as it appeared, it coughed non-stop.
Whether it was its appearance or its breath, it could be seen that something seemed to be wrong, and it looked like it would not live long.
The body of the old man was covered with cracks, and most of the mud body had turned into rotten soil.
What was even more terrible was that strange roots were constantly growing out of it, which looked particularly creepy.
The old man was confused and in a daze.
It grabbed the root in its mouth and pulled it, gasping for air.
Chen Xi looked weird when he saw this scene.
At this time, the old land god also saw Chen Xi. He instantly became more energetic, rubbed his eyes, and saluted.
"Land god of Wanshou Mountain, I greet the holy monk."
"I have been a little confused recently and failed to greet you in the first time. I hope the holy monk will forgive me..."
"I wonder why the holy monk returned to Wanshou Mountain this time?"
"Is it possible that the holy monk is thinking about the ginseng fruit again?"
The old land god was talking nonsense, as if he had a mental problem and looked crazy.
Chen Xi had long been accustomed to this, but what he said made him feel that he had grasped some clues.
So he quickly opened his mouth and asked the land god.
"The land god is joking. I am a new monk. Why do you say that I have been here before?"
"Is there a monk who visited Wuzhuang Temple before?"
"I wonder if the land god can tell me more?"
Hearing this, the old land god's turbid old eyes widened slightly.
It trembled and walked forward, carefully looking at Chen Xi, and exclaimed in amazement.
"It's like, it's too much like it!"
"Don't blame this monk, I'm old and blurry, I must have confused it..."
"There was indeed a holy monk who visited Wanshou Mountain and summoned me with the same method."
"I saw that the monk's appearance and methods were almost the same as that of the holy monk, so I made a mistake..." The old land man muttered and explained.
In the process, many roots grew out of its mouth and nose, making it confused.
The old land man kept pulling out these roots, bringing up large pieces of soil.
Its breath was gradually becoming weaker.
Chen Xi frowned when he saw this scene.
He knew very well that the old land man might not have made a mistake.
"Ahem, ahem, ahem..."
"It's a pity that I am a little confused and can't remember many things."
"Holy, high monk, if you have anything else to ask me, please hurry up..."
With his divine eyes, Chen Xi could clearly see that the vitality of the land was rapidly weakening.
It was estimated that it would not be long before the old land man would die.
If he took a few steps at night, he would probably not see the old land man.
But this was normal. After all, Wanshou Mountain was torn apart under the ginseng fruit tree. How could the land of this mountain be spared?
"Excuse me, land man, can you tell me what happened in Wuzhuang Temple that year, so that it became like this."
Chen Xi thought about it and finally asked the most beneficial question for the current situation.
The old land man was confused. After hearing the question, he was stunned for a long time before speaking.
"I don't know why I can't remember many things clearly..."
"I only know that Zhenyuan Daxian went to the Yulan Festival and left in a hurry, and never came back."
"Since then, the atmosphere of Wuzhuang Temple has changed, making me dare not approach."
"I heard that all the immortals in Wuzhuang Temple began to worry about their lifespan."
"In order to solve the problem of the Taoist priests' lifespan, Qingfeng Mingyue specially invited three stars who had a good relationship with Zhenyuan Daxian."
The old land god was sometimes sober and sometimes confused.
As he spoke, he almost fell asleep on the spot.
Fortunately, Chen Xi was beside him, always telling the story to wake up the land god, which made him stutter and finish the whole story.
"Later, I don't know why. After the temple prayed to the three stars, the situation did not improve, but became even more strange."
"I am just a land god. In this situation, I can't protect myself. I just hope not to implicate myself and save my life."
"So I didn't dare to inquire about the things in Wuzhuang Temple, for fear of getting into trouble."
"But who would have thought that one day, the roots of the ginseng fruit tree suddenly drilled out from the ground, turned extremely black, and drilled holes all over Wanshou Mountain."
"I have nowhere to hide here, I had no choice but to run into Wuzhuang Temple to ask the Taoist priests what happened. "
"Unexpectedly, those who had attained the Taoism of Wuzhuang Temple were entangled by tree roots and became crazy."
"Some worshipped strange statues and became crazy and evil..."
"The ginseng fruit tree was strange. They seemed to be arguing about whether to go to the Taoist temple of Zhenyuan Daxian to get the golden hammer and knock down the ginseng fruit tree."
The old land man said, with a look of reminiscence and fear on his face.
Chen Xi was thoughtful after hearing this. Was the problem with the ginseng fruit tree?
As for the three stars invited, there was probably a problem.
In the world of demons, even if there were gods who showed their holiness, they were probably degenerated into demons.
As a result, the Taoist priests of Wuzhuang Temple were completely unaware and were all tricked.
"Golden hammer..."
Chen Xi murmured, and he had not forgotten this thing.
In Journey to the West, this item was used to knock down ginseng fruit.
If what the old man said was true, then this golden hammer might be the key to dealing with the ginseng fruit tree!
Chen Xi sorted out his thoughts and suddenly noticed that the figure of the land god was less than half a foot, and it seemed that he might die at any time.
So, he did not dare to delay and asked hurriedly.
"I have one last question..."
"Do you know where the Taoist palace of Zhenyuan Daxian is?"
The old man shook his head, forced himself to cheer up, pointed to a certain place, and then turned into mud and scattered all over the ground.
Chen Xi sighed, put his hands together, and said goodbye to the land god.
Then he turned around and went to the Taoist palace of Zhenyuan Daxian without hesitation.
If there is anything that can change the situation at this time, it must be the golden hammer in the Taoist palace of Zhenyuan Daxian.
Although I don’t know whether his last obstacle is the breeze, the ginseng fruit tree, or the three stars of happiness, wealth and longevity.
But at least it is not wrong to hold this thing that can deal with the ginseng fruit tree in your own hands.
…
"Ah! What are these!!!"
"Fruit! My fruit!"
Screams and wails continued to sound at this moment.
A large group of demons with red eyes rushed to fight their way out of a bloody road, but were killed halfway.
Two infant ginseng fruits, also known as blood infants, blocked the path that the demons must pass with smiles on their faces, running around, and laughing from time to time.
Every time they passed by the demon group, a demon died tragically, or the heart or the head disappeared.
And those ginseng spirits took the opportunity to manipulate the roots and squeeze the dead demons dry.
On one side is the fear of death, and on the other side is the desire for ginseng fruit.
The demons were caught in the middle and seemed at a loss.
As time passed...
One demon after another, blinded by greed, fell in a pool of blood.
Finally!
The fear of death overwhelmed greed!
The demons were so frightened by these infant ginseng fruits that they had a mental breakdown.
"No! I don't want the fruit anymore!"
"I don't want to die!"
The demons collapsed and roared, and fled in panic. The original momentum of burning, killing and looting plummeted.
They used their hands and feet to break through in one direction.
"Hehe..."
The infant ginseng fruits would naturally not let go of these blood foods. They laughed and chased after them.
The demons running at the end fell one after another.
This scene made the demons' eyes burst with bloodshot eyes, and they wished they had more legs.
Seeing that they were about to run out of the back garden, they left!
At this moment, a monk holding a Zen stick and wearing a cassock, sitting cross-legged on a blood lotus, walked through the courtyard to the back garden.
Coincidentally, this monk was just on their way.
"Get out! Get out of my way!"
"Ah, I don't want to die..."
The demons roared wildly. They didn't dare to turn around and face those infant ginseng fruits, but dared to attack this ordinary-looking monk.
They were afraid of death and bullied the weak.
The fastest demons seemed to dislike the monks who were blocking the way and stretched out their claws.
Obviously, they wanted to tear the monks to pieces and attract the attention of those infant ginseng fruits with their flesh and blood.
Unfortunately, they provoked the existence that they shouldn't have provoked.
"Little demons, they just don't have brains..."
Chen Xi looked at the oncoming demons and shook his head.
He didn't want to waste time with these little demons, so he blew out a fire decisively.
This fire is not an ordinary fire, it is born from anger, it is the fire of karma!
The fire of karma is blazing, burning sins.
And these demons, one by one, are all sinners!
In an instant, the demons coming towards them were drowned by the fire of karma and turned into ashes.
"Hiss!"
The demons who ran slower were scared to death when they saw this.
They stopped one after another and dared not move forward.
Who could have thought that a monk who appeared randomly would be so powerful!
"Hehehe!"
The infant ginseng fruit chasing the demons seemed to have sensed the existence of Chen Xi.
For some reason, they became particularly excited and moved a little faster.
At this moment, Chen Xi also rode the blood lotus and slowly moved forward.
The demons were caught in the middle, and seeing this scene, they were all scared to death, unable to move forward or backward.
"This..."
The demons wanted to cry but had no tears, and didn't know what to do.
The demons in front were desperately trying to squeeze back because they were afraid of Chen Xi.
The demons in the back were desperately trying to squeeze forward because of the infant ginseng fruit.
For a moment, the situation in the field was quite chaotic.
The two infant ginseng fruits became extremely excited and screamed when they saw Chen Xi getting closer and closer.
One by one, the thick roots rose from the ground and tied up the demons who were unable to move forward or backward.
"Hmm?"
Chen Xi raised his eyebrows and wanted to kill these demons, along with the ginseng spirits and infant ginseng fruits, to improve his Taoism.
However, before he could do anything, he saw a blood shadow passing by.
An infant ginseng fruit actually picked off a demon's head and ran towards Chen Xi excitedly.
Its face was full of flattery, and it handed the steaming head to Chen Xi.
This manipulation stunned the demons trapped in the roots, and also stunned Chen Xi.
"How is this possible?!"
"I don't accept it! Why does this blood baby please this monk so much?"
"Could it be that this monk is also a demon in the Wuzhuang Temple?"
"Impossible! Have you forgotten?"
"The crazy Taoist priests in the Wuzhuang Temple before were not in the same group as these ginseng spirits..."
"Hiss! I know!"
"This monk is probably also a ginseng fruit that became a spirit..."
The pupils of the demons shrank sharply, and they trembled like sieves.
And Chen Xi, who inexplicably became a ginseng fruit, looked at the blood baby in front of him, but his face was full of confusion.
What's going on?
Why are the 'ginseng fruits' born from these ginseng fruit trees so close to him?
At this moment, the infant ginseng fruit, like a baby, was full of expectations in his eyes, as if he was a child asking for praise from his father.
Chen Xi looked very strange when he saw this situation.
Could it be that the blood infant that he had killed earlier did not run away because it wanted to get close to him?
The temptation of the infant ginseng fruit to Chen Xi was not small.
In just three or two breaths, Chen Xi could not help swallowing his saliva when he smelled the strange fragrance.
If he had not picked up the Heart Sutra again, he would have been unable to resist opening the head of the infant ginseng fruit and feasting on it.
As for these, the happy infant ginseng fruit was unaware.
The two infant ginseng fruits babbled like ordinary children, playing with great enthusiasm.
They even wanted to jump high, climb onto the lotus platform, and get close to Chen Xi.
"Strange..."
Chen Xi swallowed his saliva. He wanted to see what these blood infants were up to, but he did not do anything and let the blood infants climb onto the blood lotus.
The reason why he was so bold was mainly because he had telepathy and did not feel that the blood infants had any ill will towards him.
What is even more exaggerated is that, under his telepathy, these blood babies clearly have a strong attachment and dependence on Chen Xi.
“Yiyiya… Daddy…”
