Nanhua Mountain, Xiaoyao Palace!
Zhuang Zhou and Jinmu Yuanjun spent one more night of tenderness before parting.
"This time, don't go. Your moral purple energy has reached a critical moment. It's time to gain enlightenment and don't be distracted!" Zhuang Zhou said softly.
"Come back soon!" Jinmu Yuanjun hugged Zhuang Zhou and said with some attachment.
He gently stroked Jinmu Yuanjun's hair.
"I'll be right back after finishing my work!" Zhuang Zhou promised.
"When you come back, I will compete with you again!" Jinmu Yuanjun suddenly looked at Zhuang Zhou with provocative eyes.
"Hahaha, okay!" Zhuang Zhou laughed.
Say goodbye to my parents, and say goodbye to Jinmu Yuanjun.
Zhuang Zhou selected ten former disciples of Chongxu Valley. Of course, these ten people were now all dressed in black and called themselves disciples of Xiaoyao Palace.
Liezi was kind to them in teaching, and during this period, Jinmu Yuanjun’s sermons were also kind to them in teaching. Now they follow Zhuang Zhou, and naturally they are not stubborn enough to walk in their original identity.
The ten people selected were all extremely grateful and admired Zhuang Zhou. He also obeyed Zhuang Zhou's advice and saved Zhuang Zhou a lot of trouble along the way.
Zhuang Zhou brought ten disciples from Xiaoyao Palace, and Hui Shi also brought ten famous disciples.
Officially set off for Qi State.
The group was very purposeful and did not stay in other places. It took less than a month to reach the territory of Qi State.
"Zhuang Zhou, it's a pity that our limited cultivation has held you back. Otherwise, you should have reached Qi faster by flying!" Hui Shi sighed.
"You want to fly?" Zhuang Zhou said with a smile.
"Yes, it's a pity that his cultivation level is limited! He is not yet a heavenly being!" Keiko sighed.
"Fei, you don't have to be a cultivator, Dao can also be used!" Zhuang Zhou shook his head and said.
"oh?"
"Liezi's Great Way can control the wind and travel with it. Although my Great Way cannot control the wind, it can control butterflies. If you want to fly, you should have told me earlier!" Zhuang Zhou laughed.
"I take advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth, and control the debate of the six qi, so that I can swim infinitely. How can I treat him badly?" Zhuang Zhou shouted softly.
"boom!"
Behind Zhuang Zhou, black energy surged into the sky, and butterflies erupted into the sky. He suddenly pounced on everyone.
In an instant, a group of people were lifted into the sky by endless butterflies.
"This, butterfly...!" All the famous disciples said in surprise.
Hui Shi understood that this was Zhuangzhou's thought on the Great Dao becoming more and more perfect.
"What a man who takes advantage of the righteousness of heaven and earth and controls the debate of the six qi. Zhuang Zhou, your thoughts are really free!" Hui Shi sighed.
"I cultivate to be 'free and unfettered', so naturally I won't be fettered!" Zhuang Zhou said with a smile.
A group of people rode butterflies and headed towards Linzi of Qi State.
"Xiaoyao? Haha, since Xiaoyao should be free and unfettered, why did he go to Qi State today? When he went to Qi State, was he still Xiaoyao? Isn't this because he was bound?" Hui Shi teased.
Hui Shi is a leader of famous people. Famous people are established by their eloquence. They say good things because they are good at eloquence, but they like to argue when they say bad things. Hui Shi is even more of a stickler. He often took pleasure in arguing with Zhuang Zhou.
"I went to Qi State because I wanted to get rid of the fetters in my heart and gain inner freedom! Visible ties can be easily removed, but invisible ties are the big devil in the heart! Hui Shi, what do you think?" Zhuangzi laughed. road.
"Haha, okay, I'm just waiting to see how you get away with it!" Hui Shi said suddenly depressed.
"You will see it soon!" Zhuang Zhou said confidently.
"I remember before leaving, your mother repeatedly emphasized that you should not embarrass the people who deprived them of their true soul?" Hui Shi asked curiously.
Zhuang Zhou sighed slightly: "My father told me privately that the person who ordered the stripping of my parents' true spirits was none other than Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine."
"Oh? Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine? I heard that everyone is a highly respected person, how could he order such a vicious method?" Hui Shi raised his eyebrows.
"He is still my grandfather!" Zhuang Zhou said with a bitter smile.
Hui Shi was silent for a moment. Was it Zhuang Zhou's grandfather who ordered to deprive Zhuang Zhou's parents of their true spirit and make them lose their cultivation of Taoism? This, how is this possible
How could there be such a father in the world
Hui Shi knew how difficult life had been for Zhuang Zhou's parents without their Dao ideas in recent years. If Zhuang Zhou hadn't kept up his good work, he might not have been able to survive for a few more years.
"No wonder your mother wanted to stop talking several times! Alas!" Hui Shi sighed.
This matter is really complicated.
"Let's not talk about it for now. Haven't you been to Linzi? Come lead the way and let's speed up!" Zhuang Zhou said.
Zhuang Zhou was also very conflicted in his heart. Originally, Zhuang Zhou came here to teach those who attacked his parents a lesson and to avenge his parents. But, who knew, before leaving, Zhuang's father told him that it was his grandfather who gave the order.
This made Zhuang Zhou at a loss for this trip. The most urgent task was to find the true spirits of his parents first.
"Let me take a look, oh, the city in front is called Jimo. It is a small city near Linzi. This city is quite interesting. In the past, there was a difficulty in destroying the city. Later, the Mohist disciples helped to save the city. From then on Change the name to Jimo!" Hui Shi said, pointing to a city not far away.
"Jimo? I've heard it too. You don't need to explain, just point in the direction!" Zhuang Zhou rolled his eyes.
"Just..., eh? Why is there so much miasma in Jimo City?" Hui Shi said in surprise.
Zhuang Zhou looked around, and sure enough, there were countless colorful auras covering Jimo City.
"Ah, help!"
"Let my son go, let my son go!"
"don't want!"
… … … …
… …
…
Waves of shouts came from afar.
"Something big happened in Jimo City?" Hui Shi's face darkened.
Zhuang Zhouyi waved his hand, and the rolling butterflies flew towards Jimo City with everyone in their arms.
Soon, we arrived above Jimo City.
You can see that this billowing colorful energy is produced by monsters flapping their wings.
"What is that, what kind of monster? Bird? Eagle? Birdman?" a Xiaoyao Palace disciple exclaimed.
However, he saw a humanoid monster with huge falcon wings on his back and a sharp falcon face, but his hands and feet were human-shaped, no, the claws on his hands were sharp, like bird claws.
"Hurry and hide at home, the bird demon is here to arrest people again, hurry up!"
"Help, inform the people at Jixia Academy, why haven't they come back yet!"
"My daughter, let my daughter go!"
… … … …
… …
…
With countless shouts, hundreds of bird demons flapped their wings, descended from the sky, swooped down, and captured children one by one. The colored gas emitted by the bird demon's wings seemed to be poisonous. The adults in Jimo City coughed and knelt down while shouting. When it came down, they all looked like they were poisoned.
"Bird demon? What is this?" Zhuang Zhou stared in shock.
Zhuang Zhou's knowledge is not limited. Starting from the ancient times, Emperor Donghuang Taiyi, Zhuang Zhou has seen too many demons. There are really not many demons in the world that Donghuang Taiyi has not seen. Wang Xiong has seen countless foreign races.
But in front of me, the bird demon? What is this
It seems that his strength is not very good. Where did this thing come from
"Bird Demon? When I was coordinating the Qi State, I heard from the envoy of the Qi State that there was a kind of monster in the Qi State, called the Bird Demon, which was causing mischief everywhere. The disciples of Jixia Academy were born, and the Bird Demon was killed in large numbers. The hunting didn't have much impact, and I didn't pay much attention at that time. I didn't expect to see it this time!" Hui Shi was also surprised.
"Sir, I will take action to save these people!" the disciple of Xiaoyao Palace suddenly said.
Zhuang Zhou was about to nod.
"Bah!"
Suddenly a bird demon roared, and all the bird demons suddenly looked in the direction of Zhuang Zhou.
After all, the countless butterflies carrying about twenty people were too eye-catching, and the aura of Zhuang Zhou's great road shrouded the sky with black energy, which was also extremely conspicuous.
Seeing the great aura of Zhuang Zhou and others, the eyes of the bird demons suddenly lit up.
"Bah!"
The bird demons excitedly discarded the child in their hands and immediately rushed towards Zhuang Zhou.
It seemed that Zhuang Zhou and others were more attracted to the bird demon than those young children.
"Bah, bah, bah...!"
Hundreds of bird demons, extremely ferocious, arrived in front of everyone in an instant.
Without Zhuang Zhou's order, all Xiaoyao Palace disciples immediately took action.
"Tian Luo Di Net!" All Xiaoyao Palace disciples shouted.
Although there were not one hundred and eight people, the ten Xiaoyao Palace disciples still activated their respective nets to rush towards the bird demons.
"boom!"
The bird demon collided violently, and the big net shook. Some bird demons were blocked, while others tore the net to pieces in an instant.
"Sir, the strength of these bird demons ranges widely. They are all bird demons, some are weak and some are very strong!" the Xiaoyao Palace disciples said anxiously.
The disciples of Xiaoyao Palace could see it, and Zhuang Zhou could also see it.
These bird demons don't seem to be calm, some only have an instinct.
"Bah, bah, bah!"
The bird demons tried their best to attack the big net, and some of the weaker ones were already imprisoned by the big net. Zhuang Zhou did not take action, because although the battle was difficult for these Xiaoyao Palace disciples, it was enough.
"Boom!", "Boom!"...
With loud noises, the bird demons were captured one after another. In the blink of an eye, there were more than 20 bird demons left among the hundred. And each of these 20 or so demons had the cultivation level of heavenly immortal or above, and they were screaming fiercely and inciting. Rolling poisonous gas swept over.
"This black energy seems to contain the poison of plague!" Hui Shi's expression changed.
"I, I seem to be poisoned, Keiko!" All the famous disciples suddenly turned purple.
"Go away!" Zhuang Zhou shouted coldly.
The butterfly flaps its wings and instantly blows away all the poisonous gas.
Unfortunately, the toxin in this black energy was too strong. Five of the Xiaoyao Palace disciples instantly turned purple, as if they had been poisoned.
Just when Zhuang Zhou was about to take action, a sudden shout came from the sky.
"You evil beast, have you come to our country to do evil again? You will die!" A loud shout suddenly came from the distance.
"Boom!", "Boom!", "Boom!"...
Bolts of yellow lightning fell from the sky and struck all the bird demons instantly.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu"
The bird demons screamed one after another, and were immediately scorched black by yellow lightning and fell down.
In the blink of an eye, all the bird demons were either trapped in the net or struck by lightning, and they were all unable to fight anymore.
"Buzz!"
But he saw, above a yellow cloud in the distance, a group of people in yellow clothes, surrounded by a middle-aged man in yellow robes, coming out of the air.
The middle-aged man from Huangshan was the one who just struck all the bird demons with thunder and lightning.
"Sacrifice wine, Jimo City is enveloped by the poisonous gas of the bird demon!" A man in yellow said anxiously.
"Oops, many people in Jimo City have been poisoned!" Another man in yellow said anxiously.
The middle-aged man in yellow robes at the head's face darkened: "It's important to save people. Let's disperse the poisonous gas in Jimo City first. Quick, save people!"
"Yes! Offer wine!" A group of people in yellow immediately rushed towards Jimo City.
call!
The men in yellow used the power of the avenue to stir up strong winds and disperse the poisonous gas in Jimo City. At the same time, they quickly rushed into the city to save people.
The sacrificial wine looked at the incapacitated bird demons on the ground, then looked at Zhuang Zhouxing, and suddenly a gleam of light flashed in his eyes.
"I'm offering wine in the lower academy of Ji, Chunyu Kun. Thank you very much for your help in saving the people of Qi. What do you call me?" The middle-aged man in yellow robe stared at Zhuang Zhou and others and asked.
"Jixia Academy's sacrificial wine? Has it been replaced again?" Hui Shi frowned and asked in surprise.
You must know that Zhuang Zhou's mother's surname was Tian, and his grandfather was the priest of Jixia Academy, so he should also be surnamed Tian.
"Oh? Your Excellency, do you know Tian Jijiu? Tian Jijiu encountered misfortune, and I shamelessly took on the role of the new Jixia Academy. I am the temporary leader of Jixia Academy. What do you call me?" Chunyu Kun asked again.
