PNB Chapter 289 Rolling with the Wind-Fixing Pearl of True Man Du'e
Chapter 289 Rolling with the Wind-Fixing Pearl of True Man Du'e
Qishan.
Having completely escaped and embraced his newfound freedom, Master Yu Ding wandered around aimlessly.
As I walked, I came to a stream. I scooped up some water to wash my face, gazed at my reflection in the water, lightly tapped my face with a palm-leaf fan, and exclaimed:
"Jade tripod, oh jade tripod, who has as much good fortune as you?"
"Your master is one of the Three Pure Ones, and your disciple is the first disciple of the third generation personally acknowledged by the Primordial Heavenly Venerable. Although you have no cultivation at all, you still have the blessed Yun Zhongzi to help you earn merit."
"Who's as lucky as you?"
Even Master Yuding himself was envious of his own good fortune.
The face on the water's surface was beaming with a radiant smile.
Hey.
After he finished laughing, a figure suddenly pounced out from behind him and pinned him down on his back.
Master Yu Ding stumbled and fell into the stream, swallowing a large mouthful of water before straining to raise his head and shout:
"Who? Release me at once!"
After he finished shouting,
I could only feel an indescribable scent lingering around my nose.
He immediately shut his mouth, sniffed twice, and a mask of pain instantly appeared on his face:
"Hey~ Can't you take a shower before you come out to rob people? You have body odor!"
After he finished speaking, the force on Master Yuding's back became even heavier!
A blond man said menacingly:
"I'm a fox demon! This smells like a male demon!"
After shouting, a small, innocent-looking demon jumped out from behind the fox demon, crept closer with a short sword, and shouted:
"Fifth Brother, this person seems to be a Taoist priest..."
The fox demon, known as Fifth Brother, tossed his hair and said, thinking himself handsome:
"What's wrong with the Taoist? He didn't even know I was coming to arrest him. Fox Sister, what are you afraid of? If you're scared, just hide behind me, and Fifth Brother will protect you."
The fox spirit immediately nodded shyly, then tugged at Fifth Brother's sleeve and urged him on:
"Fifth Brother, my mother said we can't eat people, so let's let him go?"
"Release him! Release him!" Fifth Brother roared in a rough voice, "If we release him, what will we eat? Do you expect me to keep eating wild berries with you every day? I want to eat meat, understand?"
Yu Ding Zhenren never expected that he would encounter two monsters on the third day of his search for freedom.
It's still a fox demon.
He raised his palm-leaf fan and began to speak:
"You'll regret it if you eat me!"
"My master is Yuanshi Tianzun! My disciple is Yang Jian, who kills golden crows without blinking an eye!"
Fifth Brother slapped Jade Cauldron Immortal on the back of the head and spat, saying:
"Your master is Yuanshi Tianzun, and my master is Taishang Laojun!"
Master Yu Ding paused, turned his head with difficulty to look at Fifth Brother's hairy face, and said seriously:
"really?"
Fifth Brother laughed in anger.
It opened its blood-red maw and lunged at Jade Cauldron Immortal.
……
Yang Jiao searched for many caves along the way.
If Xiaobai didn't choose the wrong place, he should already be in the White Bone Cave of White Tiger Ridge.
However, there were no detailed location records for this place, so Yang Jiao could only try her luck to find it.
It condensed into a cloud and circled in the sky with the Mosquito Taoist.
After searching for half a day, they suddenly saw that an entire mountain in front of them was concealed by spiritual energy, as if a huge dome had sealed off all the surrounding spiritual energy in that place.
"Something unusual must be going on."
Xiao Bai is also a demon.
Yang Jiao felt it was a sign from heaven and flew over even faster.
Mosquito Taoist was still curious:
"This mountain is so strange... Ah!"
Before the words had even finished...
The cloud beneath their feet vanished instantly.
They plummeted downwards at an uncontrollable speed.
Yang Jiao raised his sword finger and continuously condensed clouds, but he couldn't detect a single trace of spiritual energy.
Just as they were about to fall from a height of 10,000 meters and have a close encounter with nature, the Mosquito Taoist unfolded its blood-red wings and firmly wrapped its arms around Yang Jiao's waist, pulling her to its side with a slight effort.
The mosquito's expression turned unusually indifferent.
"There are magical artifacts here to suppress spiritual power."
Then, he gently helped Yang Jiao land.
The almost invisible wings on its back then disappeared.
Yang Jiao asked strangely,
"What kind of magical artifact is so effective? We can't use spiritual power on the entire mountain."
She became even more puzzled.
The surrounding wind was so still it was almost imperceptible.
Everything seems to be governed by rules, as if there are no basic natural laws.
Mosquito Taoist remembered the scene when they almost fell. If he hadn't been there, Yang Jiao would be lying on the ground in a mess, and there would be no way to pick her up.
Her gaze darkened, filled with resentment:
"You'll find out when you go meet them."
What kind of magic weapon is this that's so cool!
This mountain is forbidden by magic.
Take a bite to test the depth.
Yang Jiao walked behind Mosquito Taoist, the blue stone steps beneath her feet bearing the footprints of those who had come before.
She looked down.
Finally, following these footprints, we arrived at a cave with the words "Babao Yunguang Cave" written on it.
Yang Jiao was startled, then said knowingly:
"No wonder, no wonder I can't fly here. It turns out that the Nine Cauldrons Iron Fork Mountain, which is guarded by the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl, is the Daoist Temple of the True Man Du'e!"
Mosquito Taoist had never heard of this name before, and asked:
"Who is it? Is it good? Can it beat a mosquito?"
Yang Jiao chuckled for a moment, then said with disgust:
"Whether he was powerful or not wasn't explained much in the book, but anyway, he was that annoying former father of Li Jing."
Ex-father?
Mosquito Taoist has learned a new word.
I don't understand, but I'm shocked.
Yang Jiao walked to the cave entrance and could faintly hear conversations coming from inside.
It stealthily moved to the corner of the cave entrance and poked its head out to look.
Inside the cave, a middle-aged Taoist priest sat cross-legged high up, eyes closed and breathing heavily, seemingly oblivious to the two people standing in front of him.
Opposite Master Du'e, a man dressed in ordinary clothes, with a gentle and refined demeanor, bowed respectfully and said:
"I hope that the Taoist priest will take pity on the common people and lend Ji Fa the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl to save them from suffering."
Master Du'e scoffed and remained silent.
The millions of people of Xiqi were in front, and the millions of people of Chaoge were behind.
The cause and effect only arise from borrowing this wind-fixing pearl.
Upon hearing the refined-looking man identify himself as Ji Fa, Yang Jiao hurriedly stepped on a stone, which rolled away with a sound.
Master Du'e opened his eyes, a smirk playing on his lips, and said:
"Since we have guests, why don't you come in and have a chat?"
Mosquito Taoist scoffed; he had no good feelings towards anyone related to Li Jing.
He rolled up his sleeves and went inside. Reaching the front in a few steps, he shoved aside Ji Fa, who was blocking his way, placed one foot on a stone block, and said with a hint of annoyance:
"We were flying just fine, and your damn bead scattered our clouds and we almost crashed to our deaths! Mosquitoes aren't guests, mosquitoes are here to cause you trouble!"
"I see..." After hearing the reason, Master Du'e, facing the furious Mosquito Daoist, did not hesitate to get up from the futon. Unlike his treatment of the Great Zhou Martial King who came to borrow the Wind-Fixing Pearl, he bowed very politely and apologized: "I am really sorry to have startled this fellow Daoist."
Mosquito Taoist: ...
Yang Jiao: ...
The two men who came to confront him both leaned back.
Can anyone explain how Li Jing's former master, who was so polite, could have raised someone like Li Jing?
Seeing Master Du'e's humble actions, Yang Jiao immediately turned around and secretly slapped herself on the face, annoyed, and said:
"I'm such a jerk, stereotypes are deadly."
Ji Fa saw Yang Jiao and was overjoyed, so he stepped forward and said:
"Young friend, are you Yang Jiao, the God of Pure Blessing?"
Yang Jiao looked at him suspiciously. Logically speaking, they hadn't met yet and didn't know each other, right?
King Wu, Ji Fa, knew from her expression that he had guessed correctly, and he was even happier. When he smiled, his whole being radiated gentleness. He continued speaking without fading his smile:
"The Prime Minister has long ago handed your portrait over to all the generals of the Great Zhou, making it clear that they must grant your request without fail and not neglect you in the slightest."
Mosquito Taoist's eyes lit up, and he leaned closer to ask:
"What about the mosquitoes? Did you draw mosquitoes?"
Ji Fa glanced at it, paused briefly, and then said:
"Um... I'll paint one for you when I get back."
Seeing that the two groups of people knew each other, Master Du'e sat back down and said in a gentle but firm tone:
"Please go back, everyone. I will not lend you this Wind-Fixing Pearl."
Ji Fa wanted to offer a few more words of advice.
Yang Jiao pulled him back and said:
“Your Majesty, you don’t need to borrow from him. He has more than one Immortal Binding Rope and more than one Wind-Fixing Pearl. I have a way.”
Ji Fa immediately became interested and hurriedly asked:
"Oh? Who else in the Three Realms possesses the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl?"
Yang Jiao suspected that the Wind-Fixing Pearl was mass-produced.
In "Journey to the West", Kongkong got it from Bodhisattva Lingji. Even if we don't know where Bodhisattva Lingji is now, there is still one on the umbrella of the four demon generals.
Yang Jiao and King Wu, Ji Fa, walked outside while talking:
“This Master Du’e is Li Jing’s master, and Li Jing is the general of Chen Tang Pass in the Yin Shang Dynasty. He definitely won’t lend you the Wind-Fixing Pearl. It’s okay. I’ll go back and beat up Mo Li Hong’s soul, then I’ll take the Wind-Fixing Pearl off the umbrella and give it to you.”
Ji Fa hurriedly bowed and thanked him:
"Thank you for your trouble."
When the group reached the cave entrance, they had already given up on the idea of borrowing the Wind-Stabilizing Pearl from Master Du'e.
Unexpectedly, at this moment, the usually polite and courteous Master Du'e suddenly opened his eyes and excitedly jumped off the futon.
He showed absolutely no semblance of a composed Taoist priest, his steps were so hurried that his robes were disheveled, and he reached out and shouted at the backs of the group:
"What a load of bullshit, Li Jing!"
"I don't have this disciple! Don't talk nonsense. You want to borrow the Wind-Fixing Pearl, right? Take it now. I have nothing to do with this Li Jing!"
Yang Jiao stared in astonishment at the suddenly stressed-out Master Du'e.
His mouth was slightly open, utterly shocked.
All he could see was Master Du'e jumping around in his cave, his face flushed, uttering a string of foul language.
Finally, he pulled out the still-shimmering Wind-Stabilizing Pearl from the corner, threw it into Yang Jiao's arms with a thud, and roared sharply:
"Take it, take it now, and break through Chen Tang Pass for me!"
Yang Jiao: ...
So this is what Master Du'e is like!?
King Wu Ji Fa swallowed hard. Before Yang Jiao arrived, he had begged until his lips were dry, but Master Du'e didn't even lift his eyelids.
He even had the air of a hermit sage.
But now, he's flying into a rage like a monkey...
Yang Jiao paused for a moment, looking at the Wind-Fixing Pearl she had suddenly obtained, she felt no sense of accomplishment, and even found it quite strange.
Master Du'e's face flushed red, and he flicked his whisk in a deep voice, his eyes glaring:
"What are you looking at? Break the formation now!"
Yang Jiao and the others inexplicably became obedient.
They all nodded like chicks pecking at rice.
"Oh, okay, okay, please stop being crazy."
She grabbed Mosquito Taoist and ran, and even as they ran out of Cloud Light Cave, they could still hear the curses coming from inside:
"I have no disciple named Li Jing! Don't even think about associating that beast with me in the slightest."
"Take this Wind-Fixing Pearl and get out!"
