Chapter 179 Senior Brother Betrays the Church!

In the misty clouds, Shen Gongbao's heartbeat was as fast as a drum. He felt that his fate was like a sharp sword hanging above his head, which could fall at any time.

His legs were shaking involuntarily. He was in the clouds and mist, and his sight was blocked. He could only rely on his ears to judge the situation outside.

All that echoed in his ears was the deafening thunder and the screams of the two Taiyi Golden Immortals. He could even feel the power of thunder, the desperate power that made his bones tremble.

He didn't know what had become of the two originally majestic Taiyi Golden Immortals. He only knew that the thunder might fall on his head at any time.

Time passed little by little in his torment, and the surroundings became calm. There is no longer the roar of the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, nor the scream of Taiyi Golden Immortal...

Shen Gongbao didn't dare to move. He was afraid that every move he made would attract Yang Ling's attention and become the next target to be hit by thunder.

He wasn't sure if the quiet now was the calm before the storm.

However, what he didn't expect was that the surrounding clouds and fog began to gradually dissipate, and the light slowly became brighter.

Shen Gongbao slowly opened his eyes and saw the blue sky and white sun, and the bright universe was once again displayed in front of his eyes.

An indescribable joy suddenly surged in his heart, as if he had been reborn.

He glanced around, and as expected, the two Taiyi Golden Immortals, Lu Yue and Ma Yuan, had disappeared.

Above the thick sea of ​​clouds, there was only one black dragon hiding tightly in the clouds and mist, with only a huge dragon head exposed.

At this moment, Yang Ling was standing on the dragon's head, holding a gleaming glass vase in his hand, as if he was about to take back the large formation he had set up before.

Shen Gongbao exhaled a long breath, feeling that he had walked away from the gate of hell.

Thinking of this, he quickly stepped forward and bowed to Yang Ling with a flattering smile on his face, "Thank you for your mercy, fellow Taoist, Shen Gongbao would like to thank you."

Yang Ling glanced at him and said calmly: "Although you are suspected of sowing discord, your hands are not stained with the blood of the human race. I will spare your life this time... I hope you will take care of yourself and don't forget your origin."

Shen Gongbao was slightly startled. He originally thought that the reason why he was spared today was entirely because Yang Ling did not take him seriously.

Now when I heard what Yang Ling said, I realized that it was mainly because his hands had never been stained with human blood!

Don't be jealous, he Shen Gongbao is also from the human race.

Shen's name is Leopard, and Gong is an honorific title.

For example, Beibei Hou Chonghou Hu, Chong is the surname, Hu is the given name, and Hou refers to the marquis; Xibo Hou Jichang is also often called Ji Bochang.

Although he has only been a disciple of Chan for a short period of time, he has actually been cultivating Taoism for thousands of years and has already entered the realm of Xuanxian.

Of course, this bit of Taoism was not enough in front of Yang Ling.

Just when Shen Gongbao breathed a sigh of relief and was about to retreat from this dangerous sky, a cloud floated from a distance.

Above the clouds, stood an old man with an immortal spirit. His eyes were deep and his face was worried. He was Jiang Ziya.

"Senior brother, did you win the battle?"

Before Jiang Ziya arrived, the voice came from afar.

Yang Ling nodded slightly and said calmly: "The culprit Lu Yue and the cannibal Ma Yuan have both been executed."

Jiang Ziya's brows widened and he said happily: "That's great!"

Shen Gongbao heard the conversation between the two and was surprised.

He didn't expect Jiang Ziya to appear here, and it seemed that he had a close relationship with Yang Ling.

He pondered for a moment and couldn't help but asked curiously: "Senior Brother Jiang Ziya, why are you here?"

Jiang Ziya turned his head and saw Shen Gongbao riding a black-spotted tiger. He raised his eyebrows slightly and seemed to be surprised by his appearance: "Junior Brother Shen Gongbao, why are you here?"

Although Shen Gongbao has been practicing for thousands of years, he was still behind Jiang Ziya when he became a disciple of Chan, so he can only be called senior brother.

Hearing Jiang Ziya's question, Shen Gongbao smiled awkwardly, pretending to glance at Yang Ling inadvertently, and seeing that Yang Ling didn't reveal his intention, he laughed and said perfunctorily: "I was passing by, and I happened to see someone. Fighting, come and take a look..."

"Senior brother, shouldn't you go to Xiqi to enjoy the wealth and wealth in the world? Why are you here?"

There was a hint of inquiry in Shen Gongbao's tone, and his eyes looked back and forth between Jiang Ziya and Yang Ling. The more he looked, the more he felt something was wrong.

Jiang Ziya heard his question and said calmly: "I am devoted to Taoism and have no interest in wealth and wealth in the world. Now I am following Senior Brother Yang Ling to understand the immortal way of the mortal world."

Hearing this, Shen Gongbao was secretly surprised.

He knew what kind of mission Jiang Ziya had, and he was jealous of it. He felt that his master was partial, but he didn't expect that Jiang Ziya didn't plan to go to Xiqi!

The surprise in Shen Gongbao's heart was like overwhelming, and it was difficult to calm down, but he did not dare to show too many emotions on his face. He just forced a smile and nodded.

Jiang Ziya didn't seem to notice his eyes, and reported to Yang Ling on the placement of the children, saying that most of the children had been properly arranged.

Yang Ling nodded, with a satisfied look on his face, and said, "Thank you for your hard work. It is a good deed that we have done that these children can have a stable home."

After saying that, he turned to look at Shen Gongbao and said: "You two brothers haven't seen each other for a long time. You should have a lot to say, so I won't interrupt you."

The next moment, he moved slightly and disappeared into the layers of clouds on the black dragon.

Shen Gongbao looked at Yang Ling's leaving figure and was completely relieved. He turned to look at Jiang Ziya and tried to sound calm and natural: "Brother, you seem to have a close relationship with this little Zen master who teaches. "

Jiang Ziya smiled slightly, with a hint of meaning flashing in his eyes, but he did not answer the question. He just said calmly: "Junior brother is not staying in Kunlun Mountain, why did he come to this world?"

"Come out and walk around casually."

Shen Gongbao laughed, the smile on his face was a little forced.

Afterwards, the two senior fellow apprentices remained speechless.

Shen Gongbao felt a little embarrassed, and quickly bowed his hands, his voice a bit urgent: "Brother, I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Jiang Ziya stared at him, an imperceptible light flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say much, just nodded lightly: "Junior brother, be careful on the road."

Shen Gongbao did not stay any longer, turned around and jumped on the back of the long-awaited black-spotted tiger. After waving goodbye, he flew into the clouds and mist in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.

He was in a very complicated mood at the moment. He needed to think carefully about what he saw and heard today.

After Jiang Ziya watched Shen Gongbao leave, he didn't look back until his figure disappeared into the clouds, and there was a slight strange change in the expression on his face.

He seemed to be thinking about something, but in the end he had no words. He just sighed softly and turned around to continue dealing with the matters at hand.

At the same time, Shen Gongbao rode a black-spotted tiger and shuttled between the sea of ​​clouds, with mixed feelings in his heart.

He was shocked by Yang Ling's strength, confused by Jiang Ziya's choice, and confused about his future.

But he knew that at this moment he needed to return to Kunlun Mountain, return to his master, and report what he saw and heard to his master.

The black-spotted tiger is galloping in the clouds, extremely fast.

Shen Gongbao closed his eyes and rested, letting the black-spotted tiger take him flying.

After traveling day and night, about half a month later, Shen Gongbao finally saw the outline of Kunlun Mountain.

The majestic mountain range is like a giant dragon winding between heaven and earth. The mountains are majestic, with many peaks and peaks, towering into the clouds, as if they are a bridge connecting heaven and earth. The mountains are full of aura, exotic flowers and plants can be seen everywhere, and rare birds and animals shuttle among the forests.

The top of Kunlun Mountain is Qilin Cliff, which is also the location of the monastery of Yuanshi Tianzun, the saint who explained the religion.

Its cliffs are steep and shrouded in clouds and mist, just like the door to a fairyland. The cliff is like a unicorn, with its head held high and its stone patterns mottled, like the scales of mythical beasts.

Green pines stand tall on the edge of the cliff, with their branches twisting and turning, like magic soldiers guarding the fairy land. When the wind blows, the pine waves are like tides, accompanied by the long calls of cranes, echoing in the empty valley, making it even more mysterious and unpredictable.

Under the cliff, the sea of ​​clouds surges and the white waves surge, just like the water of Tianchi, which continues all year round.

Among the clouds and mist, celestial beings loom, holding whisks or carrying celestial swords, as if they are isolated from the world, separated by immortality and mortal world.

When he got closer, Shen Gongbao discovered that the immortal shadows were the five Golden Immortals who explained the teachings: Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing, Huanglong Taoist, Taiyi Zhenren and Qingxu Daodezhenjun.

Shen Gongbao stepped onto Qilin Cliff gently, looked at Guangchengzi, Chi Jingjing and others and bowed, and said respectfully: "Shen Gongbao has met all of you senior brothers."

"No need to be polite." Guang Chengzi nodded in return.

Several other senior brothers also nodded slightly to Shen Gongbao.

Because Shen Gongbao started late, they were not very familiar with this junior brother. They only knew that he, like Jiang Ziya, was specially taken under the disciples by their master.

At this time, Guangchengzi asked curiously: "Shen Gongbao, didn't you go to the East China Sea to visit friends? Why did you come back so soon?"

Shen Gongbao opened his mouth and was about to answer when he found two teenage boys standing behind Guang Chengzi.

They are richly dressed, have an extraordinary temperament, and are obviously of noble birth.

"Are these two...?"

Guangchengzi smiled slightly and introduced: "They are the two sons of Emperor Xin of Shang Dynasty. They are called Yin Jiao and Yin Hong respectively. Now they have been accepted by me and your senior brother Chi Jingjing."

"It turns out they are two nephews."

Shen Gongbao nodded, not caring much in his heart, but looked at Guang Chengzi and said solemnly: "Senior brother, my trip to the East China Sea was uneventful, but on the way back, I encountered a big event."

"What's the big deal?" Chi Jingjing also came over, his brows furrowed.

Shen Gongbao looked around and lowered his voice: "Senior Brother Jiang Ziya, he...he is going to betray our teaching."

This sentence was like a thunder, causing the expressions of Guang Chengzi, Chi Jingjing and other Golden Immortals to change suddenly.

"What did you say?!"

"Don't talk nonsense, how could Junior Brother Ziya have such an idea?"

"Shen Gongbao, do you know what you are talking about?"

"..."

Guang Chengzi and others looked at Shen Gongbao and glared angrily.

Shen Gongbao looked solemn, having already expected this result.

At the moment, he briefly talked about his trip to the East China Sea, and then turned to what he saw and heard at Jingshui Pass, as well as his conversations with Yang Ling and Jiang Ziya, all told in detail.

He said very sincerely: "If I weren't worried about being discovered by Yang Ling, I would definitely record it with a photo bead... But I really didn't lie about this, and I hope all the senior brothers will learn from it."

Hearing Shen Gongbao's sincere words, Guangchengzi and Chi Jingjing looked at each other. They really didn't believe Shen Gongbao.

But this is a major matter of teaching, and there is no room for any mistakes.

"This matter is serious." Guangchengzi said in a deep voice, "We will report it to Master immediately."

Red sperm nodded in agreement.

Master Huanglong also said: "What are you waiting for? Let's go to Yuxu Palace now!"

The group of people came outside Yuxu Palace, with different expressions, but they all had a bit of solemnity. Guangchengzi stepped forward, bowed deeply, and said in a steady voice, "Disciple, please see me."

Not long after, the palace door of Yuxu Palace slowly opened, and a white crane boy came out, with a respectful smile on his face: "The master already knows, please come with me."

Everyone followed the White Crane Boy into the palace, stepped on layers of cloud ladders, passed through long jade steps, and finally arrived in front of a glorious and magnificent hall.

In the main hall, incense smoke was lingering, and fairy music was melodious. On the cloud bed, sitting cross-legged, an old man with an immortal air was none other than Yuanshi Tianzun.

Shen Gongbao and others entered the main hall, all knelt down and worshiped, saying in unison: "Disciples, please pay homage to Master."

Yuanshi Tianzun opened his eyes, his gaze was like a torch, and he scanned everyone. His voice was calm and majestic: "Get up, what is so urgent?"

Guangchengzi stood up first and bowed: "Master, I have something important to report here. According to Shen Gongbao, Junior Brother Jiang Ziya is suspected of disobeying the teacher's orders, refusing to go to Xiqi, and also dating Yang Ling from the Human Sect. It’s very secret, I’m afraid I might be suspected of betraying the teachings.”

Yuanshi Tianzun frowned slightly and said slowly: "Baihe, go call Ran Deng, and the two from Anji will come."

"Here!"

Bai He respectfully stepped back and soon led two figures back.

One is the Antarctic Immortal, with a bald head, a kind face, and a cane in his hand; the other is a Randen Taoist, with an unattractive appearance, gray hair, deep eyes, and wearing a Taoist robe.

"Master (leader)." The two of them saluted at the same time.

Yuanshi Tianzun nodded, and his eyes fell on the Antarctic Immortal: "Antarctica, you will take care of Jiang Ziya after he goes up the mountain. You know Ziya the best. What do you think of this matter?"

The Antarctic Immortal thought for a moment and said slowly: "Master, Junior Brother Ziya has always been loyal. Although he is indeed devoted to the Tao, it is impossible to say that he will betray the teaching because of this.

If this matter is true as Shen Gongbao said, it is really unbelievable. "

Yuanshi Tianzun was silent for a moment, and then said slowly: "This matter is of great importance, it is not a trivial matter. Anji, you should go to Nanfangbuzhou in person to find out what his plans are."

The Antarctic Immortal said solemnly: "Disciple, I will obey my master's orders."
