Chapter 10 Xuanyuan Tomb 3 Demons
Is Bean Soldier back?
Yun Zhongzi narrowed his eyes. The magic power he had poured into this bean soldier should not have returned so early. He stepped forward and lightly touched the immortal bean with his fingertips.
The next moment, the scene recorded by Doubing appeared.
Chaoge, Xuanyuan Tomb.
Maitreya shed his merchant attire from the teahouse, donned a moon-white monk's robe with flowing sleeves, and sat cross-legged on a blue stone outside Xuanyuan Tomb, his round figure slightly closed, with golden light subtly swirling around him.
What is he waiting for?
The spiritual energy fluctuations of the Bean Soldiers Bewitching Immortals Formation were concealed and invisible, and Guang Chengzi's magical aura was enveloped by the formation.
Maitreya remained motionless, maintaining his seated posture throughout.
One day later.
Yun Zhongzi calculated the time; this scene occurred at the same moment he was heading to the North Sea, or even earlier. After leaving the Chaoge Tea House, Maitreya came straight here.
In the scene, the sky is just before dawn.
A ripple suddenly appeared in the void outside Xuanyuan Tomb, and a figure stepped out from it.
He was a middle-aged man dressed in a gilded robe, with a compassionate and solemn face. He held a medicine bowl in his left hand and formed the abhaya mudra with his right hand. His whole body was radiant with golden light.
The first disciple of the Western religion—the Medicine Master.
This person's cultivation has reached the level of a Great Luo Golden Immortal. He is a low-key person and it is said that he is not far from becoming a Quasi-Saint.
Yun Zhongzi's pupils constricted slightly.
This person was the chief disciple of the Western Sect's Guide Daoist, and his status was comparable to that of the Chan Sect's Guangchengzi and the Jie Sect's Duobao Daoist.
In the scene, Maitreya opens his eyes, stands up from the bluestone, and bows respectfully to the Medicine Master, saying, "Senior Brother."
The pharmacist nodded slightly, about to speak.
Suddenly, he frowned slightly.
Those compassionate, lowered eyes suddenly lifted and looked in the direction where the bean soldier was hiding.
Just one glance.
The apothecary's right hand suddenly changed its fearlessness mudra, and a golden light shot out from his fingertip at incredible speed, heading straight for the bean soldier!
Guang Chengzi's magical power instantly melted and disintegrated before this golden light.
The scene abruptly ended.
Yun Zhongzi withdrew his divine sense and looked down at the immortal bean in his palm.
A fine crack was clearly visible on the surface of the Senzu Bean. If he hadn't inscribed a teleportation array into it at the beginning of the Senzu Bean's refinement, the Senzu Bean would have already turned to dust, and the information would have been lost.
He truly deserves to be called the chief disciple of the Western religion.
Although he was just a bean soldier, he could see through the Bewitching Immortal Formation at a glance. The pharmacist's cultivation level was indeed not far from that of a quasi-saint.
But what truly occupied his mind was not the fact that the pharmacist had broken the Bewitching Immortal Array, but rather why the two of them had appeared at Xuanyuan Tomb.
Xuanyuan Tomb is a cenotaph for the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan.
Although he has attained enlightenment and ascended to the Fire Cloud Cave, a wisp of the Emperor's aura still remains within this cenotaph, drawing in spiritual energy and making this place a rather pleasant blessed land.
Ordinary demons could not even get within a few miles of Xuanyuan Tomb, let alone cultivate within it. However, these three demons were ordered by the Yellow Emperor to guard Xuanyuan Tomb, and thus, they were able to cultivate within it with ease.
The nine-tailed fox spirit, the nine-headed pheasant spirit, and the jade pipa spirit—these three demons were constantly imbued with the lingering aura of the Human Emperor from the Xuanyuan Tomb, each absorbing a wisp of that aura within their demonic bodies. It was for this reason that the goddess Nuwa chose them to enter the imperial city of Chaoge, to be close to Emperor Xin, without being harmed by the Emperor's fortune.
In the original story, these three demons first possessed Daji, then entered King Zhou's harem, bewitched the king, and ultimately destroyed the Shang dynasty. The prelude to the Investiture of the Gods was thus set in motion.
But Nuwa has not yet made a move, so how dare the three demons of Xuanyuan Tomb leave Xuanyuan Tomb on their own?
Or perhaps... they didn't leave voluntarily?
The moment this thought crossed Yun Zhongzi's mind, he felt a jolt in his Niwan Palace.
It's a Western religion!
In the Nuwa Palace in Chaoge, Maitreya used the power of the Seven Treasures Tree to bewitch Emperor Xin, attempting to make the emperor behave improperly before the statue of Nuwa and write blasphemous poems. If Maitreya had not used the Demon-Revealing Mirror to break the seven-colored silk thread at that time, Emperor Xin would have already committed a great crime of disrespect, and under Nuwa's wrath, the first domino of the Investiture of the Gods would have fallen.
He thwarted that plan, but the Western Religion clearly hadn't given up.
Unable to build the Nuwa Palace, they came to the Xuanyuan Tomb.
But how can they get the three demons to leave?
Yun Zhongzi took a deep breath.
He had to get to the bottom of this. Not only for himself, but also for the unresolved grievances from his past life.
Why is it that the Nine-Nine Human Emperor, the ruler of the mortal realm, was originally destined to be the Son of Heaven, but was ultimately reduced to the Supreme Ruler, the Son of Heaven, due to the machinations of these immortals and gods?
The fate of the human race was divided up, and there was no possibility of the human race producing any more great beings; Yun Zhongzi also disappeared into the long river of history.
He raised his hand and formed a hand seal, his body radiating spiritual energy. The aura of Cihang Daoren's magical power surged forth, and a moment later, the one standing in the Jade Pillar Cave was none other than "Cihang Daoren".
His face was compassionate, with a vermilion dot between his brows, and he held a pure glass bottle in his hands. His aura was exactly the same as that of the real Cihang Daoren, so much so that even if the Twelve Golden Immortals were to come, they would have difficulty distinguishing the real from the fake.
The Bewitching Immortal Array was activated simultaneously.
The power of concealment enveloped his entire body, shrouding the aura of "Cihang Daoren" in an invisible barrier. Under these two layers of concealment, even if the Medicine Master were to reappear, he would not be able to easily see through it.
Riding on auspicious clouds, they headed straight for Chaoge City.
Outside Chaoge City, at Xuanyuan Tomb.
Yun Zhongzi descended from the clouds and landed on a desolate hill.
With the Bewitching Immortal Array operating at its peak, he first took out a magic bean, and Guang Chengzi's magic power was injected into it again. He then slowly approached Xuanyuan Tomb.
The tombs are desolate.
The cenotaph of the Yellow Emperor, Xuanyuan, still stands majestically after thousands of years of wind and rain. However, the inscription on the tombstone has been eroded by wind and sand, making it somewhat blurred. The surrounding area is clean and tidy, indicating that the three demons have also taken good care of it.
The bean soldier searched around but found nothing.
Maitreya and the Medicine Master had long since departed, and Xuanyuan Tomb was now deserted.
The three demons have vanished, leaving the building empty.
Yun Zhongzi appeared in his true form, recalled his bean soldiers, pondered for a moment, and made a plan.
There was no significant fluctuation of unorthodox magical power here, only the magical power that was directed at the soldiers monitoring Maitreya. This shows that the three demons must have followed them willingly.
Regardless of the methods they used to persuade the three demons, their ultimate goal was always to reach Emperor Xin.
Before long, Beihai will be completely stable, and Wen Zhong will return to the court. At that time, even if another "Su Daji" enters the palace, with Wen Zhong and Huang Feihu who has not rebelled, the Shang Dynasty can be assured of safety.
Yun Zhongzi looked towards Chaoge City, a wooden sword appearing in his hand.
Since that's the case, then I, this humble Taoist, will respect this world and also try my hand at wielding my sword to exorcise demons.
The figure gradually blurred and disappeared from the spot.
Chaoge Imperial Palace.
It is said that when Emperor Xin went to the Nuwa Palace to offer incense, he was tricked by a Taoist alchemist and almost caused a great disaster at the Nuwa Palace.
Afterwards, the ministers discussed the matter and concluded that it was the goddess Nuwa displaying her divine power, prompting the king to recognize the impending crisis and make preparations in advance. Emperor Xin agreed with this.
From that day on, Di Xin, who was not very respectful to Nuwa before, began to worship and pray on the first and fifteenth of each month.
Today, good news came from Beihai: Grand Tutor Wen has quelled the rebellion and will return soon. Emperor Xin was overjoyed: With Grand Tutor Wen back, I am safe and sound.
During daily worship ceremonies, to show respect, Emperor Xin would worship together with his empress, two consorts, and two sons, dismissing all others. This was because the imperial palace was filled with the aura of the emperor, and ordinary cultivators could not enter, so they were not afraid of being plotted against.
Di Xin himself possessed superhuman strength and was a first-rate warrior.
Just then, a gentle breeze blew by, and a person stood at the entrance of the palace.
This person wore a fish-tail crown, a purple robe with a Bagua symbol, a face like a full moon, eyes like bright stars, a long beard with three strands, and held a wooden sword. He exuded a sharp and dignified air of immortality.
