Chapter 431: Muddy Waters
When he first sensed someone was touching the ginseng fruit tree, Zhen Yuanzi was not very panicked. He was one with the ginseng fruit tree, and it could even be said to be his external incarnation. Even if he was taken away, he could easily know the other party's traces and take them back.
Although he looks very cowardly now, in fact, if he really wants to be cruel, it is enough to make people afraid. At least when the saints don’t show up, no one dares to say that he will be able to subdue him. In this case, even the Buddha of Tathagata would not dare to really make him angry, otherwise the subsequent revenge will definitely cause heavy losses to Buddhism.
Therefore, he had the confidence to snatch the ginseng fruit tree from the little thief.
However, soon his confidence was gone, and only panic was left. He could clearly feel that the connection between himself and the ginseng fruit tree was cut off! It was not the kind of cutting that was temporarily isolated by the spell prohibition, but the connection with him was disconnected from the qi!
The qi between the two is cut off, which means that since then, he has no relationship with the ginseng fruit tree.
This is my companion spiritual root. If you say there is no connection, you will have no connection. Are you kidding?
At this moment, Zhen Yuanzi is not just angry, but also has endless fear under the hiding of anger. This feeling is like a normal person suddenly losing his hands or feet.
Faced with his anger, Qingfeng and Mingyue did not dare to breathe, and immediately replied: "It's a long-browed Arhat, a long-browed Arhat! As soon as he came, he asked us to pick twenty-five ginseng fruits for him. Without the permission of his master, we naturally refused to agree. But... he did not know that he took action directly, not only seriously injured me, but also collected all the ginseng fruits. Later, seeing that both of us were unable to resist, he simply took away the entire ginseng fruit tree. Master, the Buddhist disciples are too arrogant and domineering!"
"Long-browed Arhat!"
Zhen Yuanzi clenched his fist hard, and the blue veins were exposed. In just a moment, many thoughts flashed through his mind.
I don’t know what he thought of, but his eyes became colder, “It’s so calculating, it’s so calculating, Sakyamuni, I’m not going to be with you!”
He had already figured it out that all this was a Buddhist calculation, making himself a difficult time on the way to obtain the scriptures. He was just a rhetoric. His real purpose was to kill himself so that he could use himself to fill the killing disaster!
It’s not his fault for thinking this way, after all, Buddhism does have such motivations.
Since he already knew who the person who stole the ginseng fruit tree was, he did not waste any more time and immediately rushed to Lingshan.
If it were the usual, he would never be so impulsive. After all, if Tathagata really wanted to deal with him, he would come to the door foolishly. Wouldn't it be that she fell into the tiger's mouth? Unfortunately, he has lost his mind by anger now.
In fact, there are many doubts about the process of "Grown Eyes Arhat" breaking into Wuzhuang Temple to take away the ginseng fruit tree. If he can keep calm and analyze it carefully, he will definitely find clues...
On this side, Zhen Yuanzi was rushing to Lingshan, while on the other side, Mu Feng had already joined the ancestor of the Styx.
"Your Majesty asked me to wait this time, but I want to go to the Three Sacred Mountain with me?"
The Styx had been waiting here for half a quarter of an hour, and when he finally appeared, he couldn't help but ask with a smile.
Mu Feng shook his head, "I can't go. The strength of Manjushri and Samantabhadra is no match for me. Once they fight, they will inevitably be unable to hide their breath and leave traces."
"Since I don't plan to go with me, why are I waiting here?" asked the Ancestor Styx.
Mu Feng did not answer, but only took out a fruit filled with spiritual energy from the storage space, which was the ginseng fruit.
"This is Zhenyuanzi's ginseng fruit? Did you go to Wuzhuang Temple just now?"
Mu Feng nodded and said, "This fruit ancestor will be put on his body."
The Ancestor of the Styx smiled, "Your Majesty is really polite. Could it be that I took action this time just for this fruit?"
"Don't misunderstand me, I know that a small ginseng fruit is nothing to you. The reason why I gave you this fruit is just to hope that when you deal with Manjushri and Samantabhadra, you will reveal a little bit of the fragrance of the fruit..."
Hearing this, the Ancestor of Styx immediately understood and said in surprise: "Do you want to frame Zhen Yuanzi?"
"Shh--"
Mu Feng made a move to stop the sound and then spoke again: "Don't say so badly, I just want to muddle the water. It's not that easy to frame Zhen Yuanzi? Even if the secrets of heaven are blinded and cannot calculate the causes and consequences, after careful analysis, you can still find many suspicious points. As long as Tathagata, Ran Deng and others are not stupid, they will never rashly regard Zhen Yuanzi as the murderer, at most they will be the biggest suspect."
The Ancestor of the Styx was silent for a long time before he said, "Even so, besides Zhen Yuanzi, your Jie Sect is still the biggest object of doubt, because you will be the one who will benefit in the end."
Mu Feng said indifferently: "The only one who has the ability to kill Manjushri and Samantabhadra at the same time is Wudang's senior sister, but Wudang's senior sister is now discussing the truth with Nuwa in the Palace of the Wa..."
The ancestor of the Styx was stunned, "It seems that you have prepared for a long time, but I feel more at ease with this. Without further ado, I will go to the Three Sacred Mountain now."
Mu Feng bowed to him and said, "If you have any work, be careful and remember not to leave any traces of yours, otherwise the war will break out early and we will not be sure to win."
"Hahaha, I am a vast ancestor. Manjushri Samantabhadra is in the prehistoric world. I don't know which womb is in. I am just two great golden immortals. It is easy to kill them without revealing traces. Don't underestimate me just because I have been silent for tens of thousands of years. I was only one step away from becoming a saint back then."
After saying that, he stopped stopping and immediately turned into a blood mist and disappeared from the spot.
Looking at his departure back, Mu Feng stood there for a long time, then shook his head and left the place.
Everything you should do has been done, and now we are waiting for the final result.
Just as he used the Flying Thunder God technique to return to the cultivation room behind Lingxiao Palace, Mu Feng found that the Jade-faced Princess was waiting outside, as if waiting for him.
Without hesitation, Mu Feng immediately opened the jade door of the training room and asked with a smile: "You are waiting here specifically, but what important thing should I tell you?"
Seeing him come out, the Jade-faced Princess showed surprise on her face and replied: "It's not me, it's Marshal Yin. He said he had something important to report to you, so he specially asked him to call you."
Marshal Yin is Mu Feng's sworn brother, Jiao Demon King. The surname of Jiao Demon King is Yin and is one of the three sages of Lingxiao Palace. Therefore, many people call him Marshal Yin.
"It turns out that my second brother is looking for me, so I can't let him wait for a long time. I'll go there now."
After saying that, Mu Feng hurriedly walked towards the hall. Soon, he entered the Lingxiao Palace.
The Dragon Demon King was standing in His Highness at this moment. Seeing that he finally came out, he immediately smiled and greeted him, "Does it disturb my fifth brother's cultivation? You should not go into seclusion these days. You will be interrupted before you even enter the state. You can't improve your cultivation at all."
It’s not a big mistake for him to say that. After all, it hasn’t been long since Mu Feng came back from Kong Xuan.
Of course, what the demon king of Jiao didn't know was that the reason why he went into the training room as soon as he came back from Kong Xuan was not to practice, but to do something secretly. For example, persuading the ancestor of the Styx to take action, and robbing Zhen Yuanzi's ginseng fruit tree.
He did not intend to tell the Jiao Demon King about these things, not that he did not trust him, but that he would be safer if he knew less than one person.
"I can't practice during this period. At least I have to wait until the Buddhist plan to obtain the scriptures is over before I can calm down."
After a pause, Mu Feng continued, "Didn't the second brother report important matters?"
The Dragon Demon King nodded, "The happy arhat is outside the South Heaven Gate, saying that he has been ordered by the Tathagata to come to pay homage to the Great Emperor of Nanji. The eldest brother did not let him in and blocked him at the South Heaven Gate."
"Happy Arhat?" Mu Feng was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "It seems that the sudden arrival of the Antarctic Emperor to the Heavenly Court for his post is not only beyond our expectations, but also beyond the expectations of the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas. Otherwise, he would never have sent an Arhat to pay homage to him."
The demon king of dragon smiled and said, "It's not just unexpected. At this moment, I'm afraid that the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are very panicked. If I were in their position, I would definitely doubt whether the Great Emperor of Antarctica had completely enrolled in the Jie Sect."
Then, he thought of something again, a cold light flashed across his eyes and continued, "Fifth brother, since they have already doubted it, it is better to do it all the time, just go straight
The happy arhat was killed. In this way, the crack between Buddhism and Confucius and Xuan will inevitably increase. If Buddhism attacks Confucius, then Confucius will have to turn to us!"
Mu Feng looked at him in surprise and said with a smile: "I didn't expect that the second brother would have the same idea as me. However, the happy arrogance cannot be killed, and killing it will only backfire. Let the eldest brother bring him over and I want to see her."
Seeing that he seemed to have already made plans, the Dragon Demon King didn't say much, and immediately left the Lingxiao Palace and flew towards the South Heaven Gate.
After a while, he and the Bull Demon King brought the happy arhat over.
Although the happy arhat is a big bald man, he is like a Buddhist disciple of Huawai, and he doesn't know that he is not a Middle-earth person at first sight. Although he is happy arhat, there is not much smile on his face, and Mu Feng cannot feel the festive atmosphere.
If it were normal times, the face of the happy arhat would not be so ugly, but if he was stopped outside by the Bull Demon King for so long and was almost driven away, how could he be happy?
"I have seen the Emperor of Heaven, but I don't know why the Emperor asked the Emperor of Heaven to stop me and prevented me from visiting the Peacock King?"
As soon as his voice fell, the Bull Demon King standing beside him couldn't help but scold, "You regard the Heavenly Court as a place? Can you enter as you want? You are neither the righteous god of the Heavenly Court nor have you been summoned. Where did you get the shamelessness to question the Heavenly Emperor?"
Faced with the scolding of the Bull Demon King, the happy arrogance remained unchanged and said coldly: "When the Jade Emperor was there, he opened a door of convenience to my Buddhism. I don't want my Buddhism to help the Emperor ascend the throne, but I can't even come in. If this matter is spread, it may damage the reputation of the Emperor."
Seeing that he still looked righteous, Niu Demon King, Jiao Demon King and others were extremely unhappy. A small Taiyi Sanxian dared to act here, so where did he get the courage? If he really became a Buddhist disciple, he could walk sideways in the Three Realms?
For this reason, the two couldn't help but want to scold him again, but Mu Feng stopped him.
Mu Feng didn't say anything, but just looked at the joyful arrogance quietly. After a long time, he spoke lightly, "I know the purpose of your coming here. You don't need to find the Emperor of Antarctica, and I can answer you. The reason why the Emperor of Antarctica came to the Heavenly Court to take office was just to perform his duties and had no other intentions. The Emperor of Antarctica is still the Peacock King of Buddhism."
The happy arhat was stunned. He obviously didn't expect Mu Feng to say anything. However, he was not so easily dismissed and immediately said, "Thank you, Emperor Tian, but I still want to visit the Peacock King in person..."
Mu Feng's brow raised slightly and said unhappily: "What do you mean? Do you think I'm lying to you?"
"I dare not, of course I believe in the Emperor of Heaven, but..."
The happy arhat wanted to explain, but before he could finish his words, Mu Feng interrupted: "Since you believe me, why don't you go back and report to Tathagata quickly? Don't let him wait for a long time."
The happy man took a deep breath and said, "I have been blocked at the Nantian Gate for several hours, and it is not a short while. I have other things to come to visit the Peacock King this time, and I will definitely go back like this."
At this moment, he was very troubled. He could see that the Emperor in front of him did not seem to let him see Kong Xuan. Why?
He couldn't figure it out. Was he afraid that he would see the clues after seeing Kong Xuan? Yes, Kong Xuansu came from arrogance. If he really had the intention to betray Buddhism, as long as he asked, he would never deny it. Could this be what the Emperor in front of him wanted to hide?
No, I have to see Kong Xuan today!
He made up his mind secretly.
Of course, as a Taiyi Sanxian, no matter how determined he is, it will not affect the ending...
"You really have to see the Emperor of Antarctica?" Mu Feng asked with a frown.
The joyful lord said firmly: "Just as the Emperor of Heaven said."
Mu Feng sighed and said, "I have always had good friends with Buddhism, but it is not easy to stop you. Let's do this, second brother, go and ask the Emperor of Antarctica if he is willing to meet this Arhat."
"yes."
Before the happy arrogance spoke, the dragon demon king directly left the Lingxiao Palace.
Not long after, he came back and immediately clasped his fists.
: "I have asked the Great Emperor of Antarctica, and he said he would not see him."
"That's a pity. Since the Emperor of Nanji does not want to see him, I can't force him. Brother, let me see this arhat off for me."
"The Emperor of Heaven..."
The happy arhat wanted to say something, but the Bull Demon King had already come to him and said coldly: "Please!"
"Get out of the way, I must see the Peacock King today!" The happy arhat was also anxious and reached out to push the Bull Demon King.
"I'm so brave, I dare to act wildly in the heavenly court. Even if I kill you today, Tathagata has nothing to say!"
The Bull Demon King was furious and immediately took out the mixed iron rod.
