Too much fruit

Chapter 619 Infernal Affairs

"Wang!"

In the ice and snow, a dog barked. When Jiang Li heard the sound and flew away, he saw a large cauldron standing in a large pit on the ground, with a big red dog squatting next to it.

It raised its head and shook its head, a string of jade talismans around its neck shining brightly.

This big dog is naturally Xiaotian.

As for the jade talisman on its neck, it is the trophy of this battle - the Dao Fruit.

Although Su Nu was beaten into a space crack and Guangli Bodhisattva escaped, the rest of the enemies were not so lucky. There was no time to clean up at that time, and the Dao Fruit had not been separated, so their bodies were left to fall, but Jiang Li did not forget these trophies.

He just left the job of licking the bag to Xiao Tian.

"Well done."

Jiang Li fell to the ground, rubbed the dog's head angrily, and at the same time took a dozen jade talismans strung together.

The former had secretly eaten flat peaches and elixirs at that time, and became an indestructible body. The latter himself also had extraordinary abilities. Although his body was not indestructible, his strength was not weaker than that of others.

[Escape without a trace: Hiding without a trace, coming and going without a trace]

However, the slaves of these three surnames are now incompatible with Qing Qing Si Fu. They have long been close to Mo and have been assimilated by Jiang Li.

[Supernatural powers: True King Taoist soldiers, tracking thousands of miles, sharp teeth and fierce edges, escaping without a trace]

Of course, all the above-mentioned achievements are basically sneak attacks. This dog is quite devoid of martial ethics. Most of them cooperate with their masters in attacking, and they pay attention to taking them by surprise and attacking them unprepared.

Jiang Li sensed them one by one, and found that the Taoist fruits of the nine Arhats were among them, as well as Yun Jiuye's [Celestial Immortal Baiyunzi], Jiang Biehe's [Hui'an Walker Mu Zha], and [Ganlu Prince Jin Zha].

Xiaotian's red dog eyes widened, and he felt an unprecedented sense of power filling his body. The Dao Fruit was pulling the innate energy and refining it.

[The Taoist soldiers of the True Lord: The Taoist soldiers of the True Lord of Qingyuan Miaodao, their skills are the same as those of the True Lord, their physical bodies are strengthened with the sacrifice of the True Lord, and they can also be blessed by the True Lord's skills]

Facing those innocent eyes, Jiang Li sneered, making Xiaotian's hair stand up.

It doesn’t matter whether the head rub is comfortable or not. What is important is that the owner thinks it is comfortable, so it must show that it is comfortable, otherwise it may become uncomfortable.

Fourth-grade Dao fruit?

So, things got out.

Jiang Li pressed his backhand, and the phantom of the white dog flew into Xiaotian's head, and the invisible and qualitative innate energy also poured into Xiaotian's body as the Dao Fruit merged.

Daoguo is refining it into a dog-shaped magic weapon, becoming an accessory similar to a large sword.

The accessory Dao Fruit of Roaring Sky Dog also has information, and even if you really want to take it seriously, this dog's strength can definitely climb to the fourth level.

Without letting him think too much, Jiang Li gently raised his hand, and the shadow of a thin white dog appeared in his palm.

[Promotion Ceremony: Becoming Jiang Li’s Dog]

[Eligibility: Dogs]

"Wang!"

Xiaotian, who was enjoying the head-rub treatment, suddenly opened his eyes and opened his mouth unconsciously.

[Category: Demon]

Xiaotian suddenly trembled at his master's sudden murderous intention. He looked at Jiang Li with a pair of clear dog eyes, as if with some kind of pure stupidity, he wanted Jiang Li to see his innocence.

Tao soldiers are special magic weapons. The upper limit of their strength depends on their master. The stronger the master, the stronger the Tao soldiers will naturally be.

After Xiao Tian accepted this Dao Fruit, Jiang Li's future fights with others will allow others to experience the treatment of the same level as the Great Sage.

Jiang Li narrowed his eyes.

I never expected that this guy Xiaotian would start eating both sides again, secretly becoming Tianxuan's dog.

The Roaring Sky Dog's own achievements are also quite eye-catching. It once bit the Monkey King's calf and knocked him off his feet, and also bit off one of the heads of the Nine-Headed Insect. During the Battle of the Gods, he took advantage of Zhao Gongming's unpreparedness and bit him on the neck, forcing him to escape on a tiger.

"Come."

Xiaotian held his head high, enjoying the treatment of rubbing his head, and narrowed his eyes.

[Sharp Teeth and Fierce Edge: The fairy dog ​​has been cultivated into a thin waist, shaped like a white elephant and powerful as an owl; its copper head and iron neck are difficult to withstand, and its bones will disappear when encountering a fierce edge. The sharp teeth are comparable to divine weapons, capable of breaking all kinds of indestructibles】

This string of jade talismans mainly contains the top five grades of Dao fruits, while the lower four grades of mass-produced Dao fruits are temporarily stored in Xiaotian's stomach.

'You guy, betrayed me again. 'Jiang Li has the urge to kill dogs.

[Tao Fruit: Roaring Sky Dog]

As a Taoist soldier, especially a Taoist soldier like Roaring Sky Dog, as long as Jiang Li thinks about it, it can't hide even a little bit of psychological activity from Jiang Li.

[Ten thousand miles of tracking: The world is endless, thousands of miles of tracking. Targets can be tracked through Qi machines, regardless of people or objects]

"Woof woof woof (that little man seems to be in an emergency)!"

However, its lethality is still not weak, especially the sharp teeth, which have injured Monkey Sun and severely damaged Zhao Xuantan.

'What's wrong, isn't this action of reporting to the mistress from now on going to be hidden from the master? 'The big dog was horrified.

"Well done, I will reward you with a fourth-grade Taoist fruit."

Xiaotian gained experience from eating at all three restaurants.

There is no way, who calls it Erlang Shen's Taoist soldier.

In the flash of lightning, Xiaotian's nose twitched. The magical power he had just acquired allowed him to notice that Yin Tulong was moving. He immediately stretched out his left paw, pointed at the sky and screamed.

Jiang Li also received Xiaotian's thoughts immediately. After sending the Roaring Sky Dog Dao Fruit, he could understand the meaning directly without using his great master's wisdom to interpret Xiaotian's body language.

"Yin Tulong is flying back to Yuxu Temple?"

The vertical mark between Jiang Li's brows flashed, locking onto Yin Tulong's figure, "Did something happen to Yuxu Temple?"

······
······
Riding on the wind and carrying the dog, Jiang Li flew into Yuxu Temple.

Xiaotian led the way, using [Ten Thousand Miles Tracking] to follow Yin Tulong's Qi movement and shuttle through the changing formations.

Not long after, Jiang Li and Xiao Tian arrived in front of Yuqing Hall.

At this time, the door of Yuqing Hall was opened, and there were two Taoists sitting cross-legged in meditation. Both of them had tired looks on their faces, and they could not hide their anger.

Yin Tulong held a bell jar in his hand, and the real fire inside was tempering an evil spirit. It was obvious that he had successfully absorbed the clone of God Ho Luo, but he did not look happy because of this, but had a sullen face. , his face was so gloomy that it could freeze scum.

Taoist Guangcheng, the master of Yuxu Temple, looked at the statue at the end of the hall without saying a word.

Jiang Li also looked around and found that six of the thirteen statues were still flowing with aura and fairy light, two less than the previous eight. In other words, two Taoist fruits were taken away.

The wooden whip on one of the statues also disappeared.

Obviously, the Dao Fruit was stolen. Moreover, there should be Marquis Shen who stayed behind at Yuxu Temple, but now he has disappeared. It's almost clear who the person who takes the Tao Fruit will be.

Jiang Li stayed at the palace gate. He didn't interfere with other sects' matters as he did in the past, and just waited outside.

After a while, Yin Tulong snorted coldly, "I'll go and chase him back."

Firelight flew out from the hall, carrying the figure of the little Taoist, roaring through the formation of Yuxu Temple.

Soon after, Taoist Guangming and another Taoist walked out of the hall, nodded to Jiang Li, and then left dejectedly without saying a word.

Taoist Guangcheng was the only one left in Yuqing Hall.

Jiang Li then walked into the Yuqing Palace.

"Junior brother Shen Hou betrayed Yuxuguan. Pindao didn't expect that he was also a member of the Jiang family."

Taoist Guangcheng looked at the juxtaposed statues of gods and said quietly: "He took away the divine whip. This thing is specially designed to defeat the gods, especially the gods in the heaven system. And the county magistrates and prefectures in the Great Zhou Dynasty Shou, they are all earthly creatures.”

'Sure enough, it's a magical whip. Jiang Li looked at the statue without the wooden whip and confirmed his previous guess.

This statue is indeed that of Jiang Ziya.

Although Jiang Ziya performed very poorly in the Battle of the Gods, his status among human beings is quite high. He is called "the originator of military strategists and the source of military affairs". Series title.

Jiang Ziya's Tao Fruit grade should be quite high, just like the Confucian Dacheng Sage Master, they are both typical, their strength may be poor, but their Tao Fruit grade is high.

Combining the Divine Whip with Jiang Ziya's Dao Fruit, even if no one can accommodate the promotion of this Dao Fruit, it is enough to exert great restraint on the divine Dao Fruit, especially today's official system in the Great Zhou Dynasty is dominated by divine attributes.

The main goal of the Jiang family may have been to defeat the Divine Whip and Jiang Ziya's Dao Fruit from the beginning, and to surround and kill Jiang Li was secondary.

'They even intended to use this to establish a new system to replace the old official system of the Zhou Dynasty, which was a far-reaching plan. but······'

Jiang Li looked at the back of Taoist Guangcheng and said softly: "Marquis Shen seems to have reminded Taoist Guangcheng. He said that if the head of the Jiang family really chooses the Buddhist country, it can only mean that there is Jiang among the top leaders of the Buddhist country. The owner’s family.”

"In this matter, Pindao remembers that Taoist friend was outside Yuxu Temple at that time." Upon hearing this, Taoist Guangcheng did not answer immediately, but talked about the situation at that time.

At that time, Jiang Li had just finished the two thunder and fire tribulations, but was unable to trigger the heavenly tribulation due to the Wind-fixing Pearl, and was recovering from his injuries on the snowy peak.

And when Taoist Guangcheng was talking to Marquis Shen, there was no one else around.

"It's just that my vision is sharp, and I know a little lip language." Jiang Li smiled, "It's just a little trick."

With the realm of Guangcheng Taoist, no one should use magic to eavesdrop or approach secretly, but if it is just good eyesight, it will be different.

There is no vitality, no fluctuation of spiritual thoughts, only plain eyesight. As long as you pay a little attention, only pay attention to the shape of the lips and not the person, so as not to be noticed by the gaze.

The best eavesdropping method is so simple and crude, without any technical content, just by looking.

"Moreover, the Taoist priest should be able to see some clues about the sword energy I gave him," Jiang Li continued, "Being able to study hard requires not only wisdom, but also an understanding of vitality. It can even be said that you need to know all the qi, and the one who is most likely to be able to do this is my Jiang family's "Qi Grave".

Taoist Guangcheng was silent for a moment, then nodded, "That's true. When Pindao and Manjusri fought against each other, he failed to intercept his sword energy, and he also had reservations at that time, so that Pindao couldn't even see the clues. It wasn't until the Taoist friend gave the sword energy to Pindao that Pindao knew the inside story. "

It was precisely because of the existence of this sword energy that Manjusri was not surprised by his exposure.

Before he came here, he had already acquiesced that Taoist Guangcheng knew his identity.

Manjusri is a member of the Jiang family.

"Manjusri has been famous in the Buddhist country for more than a hundred years. When Buddhism was spread to the east of the Buddhist country more than a hundred years ago, he was already in the third level. No one thought that he was related to the Jiang family." Guangcheng sighed.

"But without Manjusri's support, it would not be so easy for the members of Jiang's family to integrate into the Buddhist Kingdom. It is also impossible for the overseas members of the family to believe in the Buddhist Kingdom and join forces with it." Jiang Li didn't seem surprised by this.

He had already speculated in this regard after discovering the connection between Manjusri and Jiang.

There are no unprovoked conflicts in this world. Manjusri targeted Jiang Li in this way, not because he was so small-minded, but because he was tricked by Jiang Li and took action without hesitation. For this reason, he even confronted Taoist Guangcheng.

The root of all this is that he and Jiang Li are enemies, irreconcilable enemies.

I just don’t know if the enlightened beings in the Buddhist country know the relationship between this.

and······
"If Marquis Shen really revealed the secret, would his betrayal have been known for a long time? Taoist Priest."

Jiang Li looked at Taoist Guangcheng's back and his voice became distant.

If Marquis Shen's betrayal was known, and it could even be said that he took the initiative to remind him of the betrayal, then this so-called "betrayal" would have to be described in a different way.

The Buddhist Kingdom and Yuxu Temple have been enemies for many years. Even a disciple of Yuxu Temple died at the hands of a strong man from the Buddhist Kingdom. All the third-grade Taoist tools were taken away and turned into Manjushri Bodhisattva. If there is an opportunity to cause serious damage to the Buddhist kingdom, Taoist Guangcheng will definitely not hesitate to make plans.

"Tao and fruit are cause and effect. Practitioners like us who tolerate Tao and fruit are also invisibly affected by cause and effect. Pindao just takes advantage of this influence."

Taoist Guangcheng did not answer directly, but his words had already explained some issues.

Marquis Shen accommodated Shen Gongbao's Daoguo. Now that he left Yuxu Temple, he fulfilled a cause and effect, and what follows...
Jiang Li thought about the origin of "Fellow Taoist, please stay" and couldn't help but feel cold for Shen Hou's current friends.

······
······
The reverberation of the storm was still lingering in the snowfield. Riding on the dragon-bearded tiger, Shen Hou broke through the cold wind and flew into a forest covered with silver.

Under a tree bathed in Buddha's light, he saw the figure of Manjusri.

Manjusri is still dressed in red clothes, decorated with seven Buddhist treasures, sitting cross-legged on the lotus platform in the air, with a solemn appearance, emitting Buddha's light from the inside out, illuminating all directions.

Seeing Marquis Shen coming, especially seeing the wooden whip in his hand, Manjusri showed a smile.

"That's good, that's good. Although I let Bie He die, this divine whip fell into our hands after all." Manjusri raised his palm and said.

The dragon-bearded tiger fell to the ground and showed a wary look towards the Buddha's light. Shen Hou turned over and got off the tiger, holding a wooden whip in his hand, his face was stern, without the previous irregularity.

"He didn't have to die, and the Jiang family didn't need to betray Yuxuguan." Shen Hou said in a smooth voice.

"The poor monk didn't intend to deviate from Yuxu Guan, but no matter what, fate plays tricks on people."

Manjusri heard the grievances of Marquis Shen, and his smile faded, "Even when the poor monk got the opportunity to join the Buddhist kingdom by fate, he initially thought of trying to retrieve the stolen third-grade Taoist artifact for Yuxuguan. Unfortunately, in the end, This instrument was not retrieved, but was accommodated by the poor monk."

"The Enlightened One personally promoted me and bestowed upon me the transformed Manjusri fruit. Then, with the help of the Bodhisattvas in the Buddha Kingdom, I was successfully promoted and made a great vow to always uphold the Buddha's Way and promote Buddhism. In this way, I stayed in the Buddha Kingdom forever."

In fact, the internal struggle in the Buddhist kingdom is quite fierce, but it always maintains a state of struggle without victory. Because the Bodhisattvas in the Buddhist country will make great aspirations in the "Bodhisattva Vehicle", uphold the Buddha's way, and promote the Buddha's way. They will become stronger because of their great aspirations, and they will not deviate from it.

Because of this, Manjushri was tied to the ship of the Buddhist Kingdom, and what he accommodated was the fundamental path and fruit of Manjushri's power that had been changed.

The Enlightened One personally took action and transformed Manjushri Guangfa Tianzun into Manjushri Bodhisattva, leaving this path and fruit in the Buddha's land, and also leaving Manjushri, who accommodates this path and fruit, in the Buddha's land.

"The root of the betrayal has been laid long ago, and the whip is of great importance. How can Guangcheng be willing to hand it over so easily?"

Manjusri explained, and also advised Marquis Shen to put down the grudges in his heart, "I know you have grudges in your heart, but now that the Jiang family is headed by Poor Monk, it is destined to be difficult to ally with Yuxu Guan. Moreover, Yuxu Guan cannot help Jiang's comeback, but Buddhism can and..."

The Buddhist country may not belong to the Jiang family, or to oneself.

The Awakened One is indeed powerful. When he was young, he easily laid the root of the divergence between the Jiang family and Yuxu Guan. However, he has been in seclusion for decades because of Karma Tathagata, and his control over the Buddhist kingdom is no longer what it used to be.

'If you are really related to Karma Tathagata, then it is not impossible for a poor monk to sit at the top of the Buddha's kingdom. '

Manjusri lowered his eyes slightly, covering up the fluctuations in his eyes.
