Chapter 181: A Fairy Apricot

"Are you threatening me?"

"Why don't you go to the Demon Slayer Division in person and see if you can come out alive!"

Emperor Jingtai's voice became colder and colder. The Demon Refining Cave was his taboo. Whoever touched it would die.

Of course, she was no match for the White Lotus Mother in a face-to-face fight. However, she did not dare to enter Luojing, so she had countless ways to get back on her feet.

"I have read your Buddhist scriptures and there are many things I don't understand. I think the White Lotus Buddha is willing to give me some pointers..."

The Li royal family has produced three martial saints so far, and they know a lot about the secrets of immortals and Buddhas. The White Lotus Mother's plot is not a secret at all. Once it is publicized, the White Lotus Evil Buddha will definitely take precautions.

"Your Majesty has misunderstood me!"

The White Lotus Mother frowned slightly: "I want to give your Majesty a gift so that your Majesty can be promoted as soon as possible so that he can share the bliss with me."

"Hmph! You don't need to worry about my affairs."

Emperor Jingtai snorted coldly. He was not afraid of the White Lotus Mother's publicity, but he didn't want to cause trouble.

The Demon Slaying Division has treasures at its bottom. Anyone with a little knowledge knows that countless people have tried to steal and rob it over the past five hundred years, and even clones of immortals and Buddhas have sneaked in.

During this period, there were a few people who could use mysterious magical powers and treasures to avoid the many formations, but they only went in but never came out.

"I am guessing that your majesty now needs many soul refiners..."

The White Lotus Mother spoke with temptation: "Just find out the identity of that guy, and don't bother your majesty with anything else. I will offer you a hundred living soul refiners."

Emperor Jingtai frowned and asked in confusion: "That guy just killed the Buddha. Why are you so eager to die?"

"Your majesty has misunderstood. I am weak and dare not compete with that guy. I just took precautions in advance..."

The White Lotus Mother said: "If you mess it up a few more times, not to mention that Master will be suspicious, even my life span will not be able to wait."

Hearing this, Emperor Jingtai couldn't help but feel sympathetic. Of course, what moved him was the hundred soul refiners.

This is a huge amount of resources, which is equivalent to the Demon Slayer Division's several years of capturing demons. With the current accumulation, perhaps the goal can be achieved directly.

Emperor Jingtai believed that the White Lotus Mother knew the secret of the Demon Refining Cave.

"Where can Daoyou find a hundred refiners? If it takes thirty to fifty years, there is no need to mention this matter!"

"Has your majesty forgotten my identity?"

The White Lotus Mother's voice gradually became cold, and she slowly said: "The White Lotus Sect has four leaders and deputy leaders, ten Dharma envoys, and twenty-three masters of major branch temples."

"There are also more than a dozen branches such as Maitreya Sect, Sanyang Temple, Zhenkong Society, Luo Sect, etc. It is not difficult to gather a hundred refiners."

"Most of these people are preaching in Jizhou. I only need to give an order and they will come to fight and die!"

Emperor Jingtai was not surprised by the strength of the White Lotus Sect. Instead, he thought that the White Lotus Mother had concealed something. At least the senior officials who supported her in the sect would not sell it cheaply.

"Fellow Daoist, you are really cruel. You betrayed your followers just for a piece of information!"

"It is an honor for a group of ordinary people to make a little contribution to my longevity."

The White Lotus Mother said: "Since the day they stepped into the devil's way, they should have expected this day to come, otherwise I would not be scolded as an evil heretic in vain?"

"I am also an ordinary person!"

Emperor Jingtai thought for a moment and nodded slightly: "I have admired that person for a long time. He has saved the country from danger several times. I want to invite him to the Taimiao to enjoy the national fortune and worship..."

The White Lotus Mother was moved and said: "Your Majesty really cares about me. I wish to live forever with you in the future!"

"Send someone to Dagan as soon as possible, and don't wait any longer!"

Emperor Jingtai waved his hand to close the treasure mirror communication. Every time he communicated with the White Lotus Mother for a long time, he would feel the strange Buddha power eroding.

Fortunately, Dagan was prosperous and prosperous. Even if the immortals and Buddhas used magical spells, it was difficult to break the blessing of luck.

After a moment,

Chu Daban returned to the Wanshou Palace to report that Pei Heihu had been sent to the Demon Slaying Division Prison, under the personal supervision of Prince Chu.

"The White Lotus demon bewitched me and caused me to lose my beloved general!"

Emperor Jingtai ordered: "Send an order to arrest the White Lotus demon. The Immortal Salary Division will set a performance target, and the Demon Slaying Division will be awarded five merits. Send an order to the sixteen governors. If there is another White Lotus rebellion, come to the capital in person to apologize!"

The White Lotus Mother doesn't care about her followers, so Emperor Jingtai doesn't need to show mercy. All of them should be arrested and brought to justice to fill the Demon Slaying Division.

"Yes, my Lord."

Eunuch Chu bowed and accepted the order.

There are quite a few White Lotus followers in Dagan, and most of those who are beheaded on weekdays are ordinary followers. On the contrary, those demons who cast spells and preach, unless the Demon Slaying Division takes action, the local government is unwilling to provoke them, lest they jump off the wall in desperation.

Not provoking does not mean that there will be no record. As long as the court issues an order, they can be arrested immediately.

Emperor Jingtai continued, "In addition, secretly investigate the identity of the Immortal Riding the Bull, and at the same time spread the news that I admire the Immortal, so please enter the Imperial Temple to enjoy the offerings."

"Yes, sir!"

Eunuch Chu did not hesitate at all, even though the target was the Immortal who killed the Buddha.

Emperor Jingtai suddenly asked, "My dear companion, do you know what the connection is between the Heavenly Demon Master and the National Dynasty?"

Eunuch Chu recalled for a moment and replied, "Your Majesty, there was once a Heavenly Demon Master who was the descendant of Taizu's registered disciple."

"It is recorded in the clan secret records that Taizu accepted twelve disciples to establish a sect outside the domain as a barrier to the Great War. Among them, the third generation leader of the Tianxin Sect brought his disciples to join the Heavenly Demon Six Paths and served as the Heavenly Demon Master."

"I see."

Emperor Jingtai suddenly realized that it was no wonder that he knew something about the Demon Refining Cave.

The treasures contained in the Demon Refining Cave were indeed obtained by Taizu when he traveled to the outside world, but it was not until Zhongzong that he found a way to use them.

"Heavenly Demon Six Paths!"

Emperor Jingtai murmured to himself, calculating silently in his heart.

Although Jizhou is ruled by the Six Paths of Heavenly Demons, it can also be called a region dominated by human races. If he can go north to open up territory for Daqian, his achievements will be as good as those of Taizu Zhongzong.

What's more, Jizhou is full of demons and monsters, and they are in urgent need of large-scale efforts to punish the people.

…

Plum garden.

It is named after the plum trees planted everywhere.

The original owner was a famous person in Beijing. When he was serving as an official, a wealthy businessman from Shunzhou spent thousands of dollars to buy it.

Outside Shuying Hall, there is a post every three steps and a sentry every five steps.

In the hall, a man and a woman were drinking tea. The man was wearing casual clothes, but he had a majestic head and could not hide his murderous aura.

It is none other than King Yan, Li Le.

The woman opposite was born very delicate and elegant, with long hair reaching her waist, no makeup, and a moon-white monk's robe.

The woman drank the spiritual tea and said calmly: "The matter that the layman asked the poor monk to investigate has already been revealed. His Royal Highness privately prayed to His Majesty for more elixirs, but was repeatedly rejected."

"Brother Huang is back in his prime, why do you still ask for elixirs?"

Li Le frowned slightly. He followed Mr. Qin's advice and the elixir is still enshrined on the incense table.

Every time he saw the prince's radiant face, Li Le couldn't help but want to take the elixir, but he was afraid that there would be something wrong, so he asked the woman to investigate.

"The elixir is refined by His Majesty himself, never by outsiders. There are countless elixirs in the elixir hall, and it is difficult to find the formula."

The woman said: "However, the Wuchen Divine Monk of Jinguang Temple definitely informed Master that the body of the Snake Immortal has not escaped from the Arhat seal!"

The tea in Li Le's cup swayed slightly, and he suddenly felt a lot of fear for his father, but he was also glad that he did not take the pill. Given the timid and cautious character of the prince, who would rather offend his father than demand the elixir, there is a high probability that something is wrong with his health.

Thinking of this, Li Le made up his mind.

"In a few days, my king, please go to the battlefield in southern Xinjiang and join the general's command to contribute to the country!"

"Has His Highness given up?"

The woman frowned slightly. King Yan's power and status in Beijing were extremely important to Faxiang Sect. Once he entered Southern Xinjiang, it was basically the end of the alliance.

"Don't worry, Madam, what I promised will still be fulfilled."

Li Le protected the Faxiang Sect's legacy in Shunzhou, and the woman in front of him was a contemporary saint.

As for why Faxiang Sect, one of the four Buddhist sects, suddenly had a nondescript saint, Li Le didn't know the hidden meaning.

"Since the poor monk entered the palace as Concubine Ning, he has not yet slept with His Majesty. King Yan has great ambitions and is willing to entrust him with his life..."

When Concubine Ning spoke, her body glowed with little bits of Buddha's light, which was pure and holy, but also had a hint of fatal temptation.

Roar!

A dragon roar came from Li Le's body, and then a black dragon appeared above his head, roaring at Concubine Ning.

Li Le's face was gloomy, but he knew the weirdness of the Buddhist scriptures of saving people, and he could figure out the purpose of the Faxiang Sect saint's entry into the palace with his toes. It's just that in recent years, my father has devoted himself to cultivating Taoism and followed the advice of the real person to strengthen his foundation and cultivate his talents. He has no interest in the affairs of the harem.

"My queen, please respect yourself. I have important matters, so please take the first step!"

Li Legong cupped his hands, stood up and left in a hurry.

"Amitabha! The black dragon's luck actually gave birth to a ray of golden scales..."

Concubine Ning pronounced the Buddha's name, and the Buddha's light shone in her eyes.

Although Li Le has the black dragon's luck to protect her body, her level is much lower than that of Ning Fei. The salvation of people has already shown some effectiveness. As long as she saves people more in the future, she will definitely become a Buddhist protector.

"Maybe Li Le can really become a chess piece for me!"

…

The Demon Slayer Division.

Ministry of Things.

Zhouyi came to Dianmao early in the morning and was meditating on restoring the Yin Shen.

Wuji Xinghuang Banner was forcibly summoned, and most of the backlash was eliminated by merit, while the remaining ones also caused heavy damage to Yin Shen.

The Yinshen is injured and should not be taken lightly.

A hint of hidden danger can make people stop at Yangshen, making it difficult to see the road to immortality.

The enshrining token vibrated slightly, and a message came from the commander, King Chu, ordering Zhou Yi to come to the Demon Slaying Hall quickly.

The Book of Changes calculated with fingers, and as the magical power of concealing the sun became more and more sophisticated, the method of calculation also improved greatly. Even if the King of Chu was a first-rank man, he could vaguely calculate good, bad, and bad luck.

"Lucky stars shine!"

Zhou Yi came to the Demon Slaying Hall happily, bowed and saluted: "I've seen the commander."

"Well, I have a task for you today."

The King of Chu lowered his head to attend to his official duties and said, "Have you been out of prison for a few years? Have your skills become rusty?"

Zhou Yi replied: "Xiaguan compiled the skills he learned in prison into execution sword techniques. Not only did his skills not deteriorate, but he became several times more sophisticated than before he practiced!"

In the previous executions in the prison, Zhou Yi could survive 3,600 blows without damaging his life or materials. As he searched for demon records in books, he had a clearer and thorough understanding of the demon body, but Ling Chi could survive with 10,000 blows.

"There is a prisoner in Prison A, and you need to take action personally."

The King of Chu reminded: "Eunuch Chu has given me the message. It doesn't take much, just three thousand six hundred swords."

"Follow your orders, I'll definitely kill you with a lot of blows!"

Zhou Yi's clone in the execution room did not hear about the mission of the A-character prison. It was obvious that he had special care and wanted this person to die more comfortably.

When Zhou Yi left the Demon Slaying Hall, King Chu suddenly raised his head and looked at the plaque.

"You guys, why are you so quiet today?"

This plaque is a restless guy, but it can be inferred that when it gets nervous, everything is normal, and once it calms down, something is wrong.

The words on the plaque slowly turned into human face strokes, and he yelled at the King of Chu: "Do you want to take care of it? Do you know why I live so long, sir? It's because I never meddle in other people's business!"

"You have black eyebrows and evil spirits on your head. Why are you reading official documents? Go to the cemetery quickly!"

"The Demon-Slaying Division is tired of waiting. Please find a new place for me, otherwise you will go and entrust your ancestors with dreams..."

King Chu's face darkened, and he was so angry that he almost vomited blood, but then he thought about how long the plaque had lived, and he couldn't help but murmur in his heart.

"Perhaps we should go to Master Xianfengsi for a divination?"

…

The torture chamber.

Zhou Yi received the order from the commander to come down. There was no need to hide. There was also the demon-slaying captain to greet him and lead the way.

The underground scenery has remained unchanged for hundreds of years, dark and eerie.

All the way to Prison A-2.

The captain bowed and handed over the torturer's token and said, "Your Majesty, this is the prisoner that Eunuch Chu captured yesterday."

Zhou Yi opened the inner and outer prison doors and saw the man trapped on the execution column, who was none other than General Pei Heihu.

"As expected, the auspicious stars are shining brightly!"

Emperor Jingtai ordered his father-in-law Chu to treat Pei Heihu kindly, so no other instruments of torture were used except skull-breaking awls, heart-piercing nails, five-viscera chains, and hundred-bone locks.

The internal organs were riddled with holes, and the muscles and bones were in pieces. Even if Emperor Jingtai changed his mind, Pei Heihu would be a useless person.

Pei Heihu heard the sound of the cell door and saw that the person who came in was an expert in refining the gods, and he couldn't help but feel a glimmer of hope in his heart.

"General Pei, I am subordinate to Zhou Yi, and I have come specially to execute you!"

Zhou Yi skillfully took out the torture instrument and wiped it on his hand nostalgically, making it smooth as new in an instant.

"Cough cough cough!"

Pei Heihu coughed twice and accidentally pulled the black iron chain that penetrated his lungs. Veins burst out from his painful forehead and said, "I am your Majesty's favorite general. Anyone who kills me will not die well!"

Zhou Yi whispered in Pei Heihu's ear.

"White Lotus Buddha also said the same thing yesterday, so Pindao sent it to the West..."

Pei Heihu's eyes widened, and when he was about to speak, a spiritual light sealed his mouth.

During Zhou Yi's execution, he didn't like to hear the prisoner shouting because it was too noisy.

A knife fell on Pei Heihu's chest, breaking three inches along the muscle texture, and the first execution began.

The movements are skillful and elegant, as if it is not Ling Chi, but an art of swordsmanship!

The body of a first-level martial artist is not weak to the demon clan. After three thousand six hundred blows, Pei Heihu was dying. There was no fear in his eyes and he just wanted to die quickly.

"General Pei, be a good person in the next life!"

Zhou Yi penetrated Tianling with his sword and ended Pei Heihu's life.

The demon illustrated book quickly flipped through hundreds of pages, revealing Pei Heihu's appearance during his lifetime, with the true meaning of the descending black tiger behind him, majestic.

Scenes of scenes appeared before Zhou Yi's eyes...

Pei Heihu rose from the bottom of the army to the first level of martial arts. He was really killing without planning, stepping on mountains of corpses and seas of blood to reach the pinnacle of martial arts. During this period, he cut down roads, destroyed Buddhas, slaughtered cities, and suppressed demons.

It's a pity that I had delusional thoughts and fell into the scheme of the Holy Mother of White Lotus, and I was not safe at the end of the festival.

Right and wrong can only be left for future generations to comment on.

"It's such a pity that such an unparalleled warrior can open up new territories for the human race!"

The spiritual light flashed in Zhou Yi's hand, and an apricot as big as a child's fist appeared. It was ripe and bright yellow in color, and its fragrance was refreshing.

Obtain reward: Immortal Apricot.
