Chapter 137 Who are you on the same side with? (Subscribe)
"What is this... treasure?"

Yun Zhongzi also sensed something unusual and looked over curiously, with a hint of envy involuntarily flashing across his eyes.

They both killed the nine-tailed fox together and went to Taisutian together, but the treatment they received was completely different.

It seems that the seniors are right.

If you want to get along well when you go out, you can't just rely on fighting and killing, you also have to rely on human relationships and worldly wisdom!
"This should be the treasure that Saint Nuwa gave to my daughter. I am not sure what it is."

Although Yang Ling recognized Yun Zhongzi's character, he still emphasized it to prevent the other party from having any inappropriate thoughts.

It is essential to be on guard against others.

You can't just tell Yun Zhongzi directly that the colorful glass lotus lantern in his hand is the legendary Precious Lotus Lantern?
That's just asking for trouble.

This precious lotus lantern is nine inches tall. The lower part is pure white like ice and snow, while the upper part is shaped like a blooming precious lotus, as big as a bowl. The lotus heart is the wick of the lantern.

In his impression, the Precious Lotus Lantern ranks first among the six great spiritual lamps in the ancient times.

The so-called six spiritual lamps are the Cuiguang Liangyi Lamp of the demon emperor Dijun, the Sun and Moon Divine Lamp of the saint Jie Yin, the Coffin Lamp of the Taoist Randeng, the Eight Scenery Palace Lamp of the saint Taiqing, the Yuxu Colored Glaze Lamp of the saint Yuqing and the Precious Lotus Lamp of the saint Nuwa.

These six lamps are innate creatures born from chaos, and each has different divine powers.

The strongest among them is Baolian.

Legend has it that it possesses the supreme power to illuminate the three thousand worlds of Hongmeng and suppress earth, water, fire and wind. However, the person who uses the Precious Lotus Lantern must have an extremely kind heart in order to fully unleash its power.

Saint Nuwa actually gave him such a treasure so easily?

Why do I feel like there's something fishy going on here?
Yang Ling held the lotus lantern in his hand, with a myriad of thoughts running through his mind.

Yun Zhongzi did not ask any more questions, and the two of them continued to rush towards Chaoge.

On the way, the two chatted and laughed all the way, talking about everything, and they got along quite well, as if they had met too late.

As the sky gradually darkened, the majestic city walls of Chaoge were already visible in the distance.

Yun Zhongzi stopped the cloud, looked at Yang Ling and said seriously: "Daoyou, you act decisively, remain calm in the face of adversity, and respond with ease. Your character and methods are all top-notch, which really makes me admire you.

I wanted to discuss Taoism with my Taoist friends under the moon, but unfortunately I was summoned by my master to come out of seclusion this time. I have already wasted time by going to the palace to exorcise monsters on the way today. I dare not stay any longer and must hurry to Kunlun as soon as possible..."

"Are you leaving now, fellow Daoist?"

Yang Ling felt a little regretful.

He had a good impression of Yun Zhongzi, who was upright, honest and sincere, and felt that this Golden Immortal of Fortune was different from other disciples of the Chan sect.

"When I come back from Kunlun, I will definitely come to ask for advice from you!" Yun Zhongzi said solemnly.

"That's great!" Yang Ling smiled and said, "Although we haven't known each other for long, I admire your integrity!"

The two men bid farewell to each other reluctantly, and Yun Zhongzi turned into a stream of light and flew towards Kunlun Mountain.

A few days later, Yun Zhongzi's figure cut through the sky like a streak of light and landed steadily in front of the gate of Yuxu Palace. Wherever his eyes looked, there was a solemn and dignified atmosphere, and the air was filled with immortal air.

At this time, the gates of Yuxu Palace were closed and the surroundings were quiet and silent.

Just as Yun Zhongzi was about to enter the palace to pay homage to his master, the palace gate suddenly creaked open slowly, and an old Taoist with white hair and beard walked out.

There was deep sorrow on the old Taoist's face, his brows were full of worry and frustration, and his thin figure looked a little lonely, as if he was carrying a heavy sorrow.

Yun Zhongzi took a closer look and recognized that the old Taoist was his junior fellow apprentice Jiang Ziya.

He hurriedly stepped forward and asked with concern: "Brother, why are you so disappointed? What difficulties have you encountered?"

Jiang Ziya heard the familiar voice, looked up and saw it was Yun Zhongzi, and hurriedly stepped forward to salute, with a helpless and powerless look on his face: "Brother, you don't know. Alas, the master... said that I was born with a bad fate and it is difficult to become an immortal. I can only enjoy the blessings of the human world. He ordered me to go down the mountain to help the wise master, and I can become a general in the future."

Yun Zhongzi couldn't help but frown when he heard this. He knew that although his junior fellow apprentice brother was not very talented, he had been practicing hard and was not interested in the disputes in the mundane world. But now he was forced to get involved in it, which was indeed embarrassing.

“Junior brother, if you feel unwilling, why don’t you speak frankly and discuss it with Master? Perhaps Master can be understanding.” Yun Zhongzi suggested.

Jiang Ziya shook his head and replied with a wry smile: "If possible, I would rather practice in the mountains than covet wealth and fame in the secular world!

But given Master's temperament, how could he easily change his mind once he has made a decision? Moreover, Master also said that this is my fate. If I don't obey, wouldn't that be going against the will of heaven?"

Yun Zhongzi was silent for a moment after hearing this. He understood Jiang Ziya's dilemma, but he also knew that his master Yuanshi Tianzun always believed in following the will of heaven. Since his master said that Jiang Ziya's fate was like this, then it must be right!
With this thought in mind, he patted Jiang Ziya on the shoulder and consoled him, "Since this is the case, Junior Brother, you can only follow the will of Heaven and do your best.

But you and I are both practitioners, as long as we have the right path in mind, we can keep our mind clear and do the right things even if we are in the court."

Jiang Ziya knew that he had good intentions, and after receiving his comfort, his expression eased a little, and he nodded and said, "Brother, what you said is absolutely right.

Although I am unwilling to accept this, since it is destiny, I can only do my best and hope that I will have the opportunity to practice in the mountains again in the future."

Yun Zhongzi smiled and said, "As long as you don't change your mind about Taoism, you can practice wherever you are... A few days ago, I was in Chaoge and met fellow Taoist Yang Ling from the Human Cult. He was practicing in the mortal world, but his level of Taoism was not lower than mine!
Junior brother, you have a strong character and extraordinary wisdom. As long as you practice sincerely, you may become an immortal in the future."

Hearing this, Jiang Ziya couldn't help but feel moved. He looked at Yun Zhongzi and said gratefully: "Thank you, Senior Brother, for your enlightenment!"

Just as Yun Zhongzi was talking to Jiang Ziya, several figures walked out slowly from Yuxu Palace.

The first person was wearing a green Taoist robe, with an elegant temperament and a pair of clear and bright eyes, as if he could see into people's hearts.

When he saw Yun Zhongzi, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Junior brother, you are late this time. I wonder what you are busy with?"

Yun Zhongzi looked up and recognized that the person who was speaking was his senior brother Yu Ding Zhenren, and behind him were several other senior brothers including Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Taiyi.

He hurriedly stepped forward, bowed respectfully and said, "Thank you for your concern, Senior Brother! I have been in seclusion recently to comprehend the Great Dao, and only came out a few days ago after receiving a message from White Crane Boy.

On the way to Kunlun Mountain, I encountered a nine-tailed fox causing chaos in the palace in Chaoge, so I went into the palace with a Taoist friend I met by chance to eliminate the demon..."

He was straightforward and always spoke his mind. He immediately recounted his experience of exorcising the demon in detail. When he mentioned Yang Ling, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Fellow Daoist Yang Ling acted decisively and without any hesitation. It's really admirable..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw the Jade Ding Master's face suddenly change, and his voice instantly rose several degrees:
"Wait, who did you say that was?"

"Daoyou Yang Ling..." Yun Zhongzi said in confusion, "He is the young Zen master who slapped the Western Medicine Master during the discussion in West Kunlun. Don't you know him, Senior Brother?"

"Oh, how could I not recognize him? I know him so well!" Jade Ding Zhenren's teeth were almost broken.

Seeing his appearance, Yun Zhongzi was puzzled and asked curiously, "Could it be that there is some misunderstanding between Senior Brother and Fellow Daoist Yang Ling?"

Jade Ding sneered twice and was about to speak when the Taoist Manjusri behind him suddenly frowned and asked, "What's going on with that nine-tailed fox?"

Upon hearing this, Yun Zhongzi quickly recounted the origin of the nine-tailed fox, including what he had heard in Tai Su Tian.

"What you mean is..." Taoist Manjusri looked at Yun Zhongzi with a strange expression, "The nine-tailed fox was originally sent by Goddess Nuwa to live in the palace to confuse the emperor and destroy the Shang Dynasty. But you killed it with your sword?"

Not only him, but the other Golden Immortals of the Chan sect also had strange expressions, looking at Yun Zhongzi as if they wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Don't worry, brothers." Yun Zhongzi said with a smile, "When I heard that the nine-tailed fox was sent by Saint Nuwa, I was also worried. I thought that an innocent person was killed by mistake. But later I found out that the nine-tailed fox took human life lightly and deserved to die!"

"It doesn't matter whether she should be killed or not, but the problem is..." Taoist Manjusri looked at Yun Zhongzi and said word by word, "Junior brother, do you know why our Master summoned you here?"

Yun Zhongzi shook his head, "I haven't met the master yet, so I don't know what's important."

"That's no wonder."

Taoist Manjusri said in relief: "Let me give you a hint first. Master called us here this time to order us to follow the will of heaven and help Zhou to destroy Shang!"

"Now, Junior Brother, do you understand?" Jade Ding Zhenren said unhappily, "That nine-tailed fox was originally a weapon to destroy the Shang Dynasty. With her to deceive the emperor, it would be much easier to destroy the Shang Dynasty. But you killed her without knowing the truth!"

Hearing this, Yun Zhongzi could not help but frown, and looked at the several Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect with displeasure and said, "Brothers, what you mean is that even if we know that the nine-tailed fox will harm innocent people and commit great evil, we will just let it go?

If that is the case, please forgive me, brothers, I cannot do this!"

After saying that, he bowed, then ignored Yu Ding and the others and turned directly into Yuxu Palace.

"This……"

Jade Ding Zhenren looked at Yun Zhongzi's handsome back disappearing into the palace gate, his expression suddenly turned ugly, and he said angrily: "This kid Yun Zhongzi... who is he on the same side with?"

Not only him, but also several other Golden Immortals of the Chan school, such as Manjusri, Samantabhadra and Taiyi, looked unnatural.

Jiang Ziya took in the whole scene, bowed respectfully, packed up his things and prepared to go down the mountain!
