When I heard Grandma Tianqi talk about the so-called "deal", I had doubts in my mind.
Grandma Tianqi is a cat demon, cunning and cautious. I am afraid that I will fall into her trap. You know, the mouse spirit just now was killed by the black energy called "Moth's Kiss" in her brocade bag.
Even Shu Cunguan's bones were turned into powder.
When Grandma Tianqi saw my hesitation, she chuckled and said, "Human boy, I know you are doubting my sincerity. But I'm afraid you have no other choice now, right? The 'Mysterious Demonic Energy' in your body was extracted by me, and only I can break it. No one else can do it."
"And the 'ice energy of annihilation' in my body needs to be expelled with the energy of fire. Coincidentally, you have the flame of the bird soul in your body, and the flame energy is very gentle. If we can cooperate, wouldn't it be helpful for both of us?"
Grandma Tianqi said it very easily. But her Taoism was so high that if I broke the "cold and icy aura" on her body, I'm afraid she would change her face immediately and put me and the little monk Yuquan to death.
I'm not stupid enough to help her get rid of the "Aura of Icy Destruction" from her body.
I squinted my eyes and said in a deep voice, "Grandma Tianqi, your plan is a good one. But do you think I will believe you? Your Taoism is obviously much more advanced than mine and the little monk's. If we exorcise the 'Ice Energy of Silence' for you, I'm afraid we will be the ones to die in the end."
But after hearing what I said, Grandma Tianqi burst into laughter.
She smiled and said, "So that's what you were thinking about. Well, I swear now. As long as you help me get rid of the 'ice energy of annihilation' in my body, I promise not to hurt you in the slightest. If I hurt you, I will die a miserable death and my cultivation will not progress at all."
"How is it? Now that I have sworn, I think you should believe my sincerity, right?"
The young monk Yuquan sat on the side and said to me quickly, "Brother Yang, you can't believe her. She is a demon. Demons have evil hearts. And the civet cats are not good people. They have killed many humans. This old cat demon has a lot of human death energy on his body. He must have killed many people."
I nodded to the little monk Yuquan and said softly, "Yuquan, don't worry, I still have something to ask this Tianqi Grandma."
When Grandma Tianqi saw that the little monk and I didn't agree, she said unhappily: "Since you don't agree to the deal, I'm sorry, I can't tell you what you want to know. I also know that you want to use the Seven Apertures Heart to save your girlfriend. But I won't tell you where the Seven Apertures Heart is."
Seeing Grandma Tianqi like this, I smiled and said, "Grandma Tianqi, you misunderstood. In fact, there is no big hatred between us, and there is no need to hate each other."
"I found your civet cat tribe to save my girlfriend, but I never killed any of your civet cat tribe members. And your civet cat tribe killed my girlfriend in order to get back the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart. In fact, all of this is related to the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart."
"What do you mean?"
Grandma Tianqi asked in a cold voice.
My face returned to normal, and I said, "I don't mean anything. I just want to tell you, Grandma Tianqi, that I can agree to the deal you just proposed. However, I hope you can give me your clan's Seven Apertures Heart so that I can save my
girlfriend. That’s all.”
"I'll give you the Seven Apertures Heart. Humph, human boy, don't let your wishful thinking get you there."
"The Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart originally belonged to my clan. If it weren't for the monk Xiangyun from the Xiangyun Temple who killed my junior, the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart would never have been able to enter the body of the human woman named Huang Susu. Therefore, I will never give the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart to you no matter what."
I curled my lips in annoyance and said awkwardly, "Since you don't agree, Grandma Tianqi, then there is really no need for our deal. Anyway, neither you nor I can move now, but my good friend Monk Yuquan is slowly recovering his Buddhist power."
"I believe that it won't be long before his body recovers. When the power of Buddhism in him recovers, I'm afraid that the person who will suffer will be your Grandma Tianqi!"
There was a threatening tone in my words.
Staring at me angrily, Grandma Tianqi said angrily: "It is said that humans in the world of the living are very cunning. In my opinion, you two are not only cunning, but also despicable. You are threatening me with life and death, right? ... ... Humph, but I tell you, I, Grandma Tianqi, will not obey you two little devils."
"I have practiced for thousands of years, but today I was harmed by that rat spirit. I have to accept the defeat in your hands."
Damn it, this old cat demon doesn't even respond to any of my advice. How abominable.
Time slowly moves forward.
The three of us in the Jade Emperor Temple fell into silence.
Grandma Tianqi's face was extremely gloomy, and her eyes were shining coldly, as if she was going to kill both of us with her eyes.
My body was fine, but the "Mysterious Demon Qi" in my body still blocked the meridians in my body. Any movement of my moral energy would be resisted by the Mysterious Demon Qi.
After half a day of treatment, the Buddhist power in the young monk Yuquan has slowly recovered.
The quiet Jade Emperor Palace was dead silent, with no sound of wind or breathing.
The three of us sat quietly in our seats.
The sky outside began to darken, and soon, heavy rain began to fall from the sky.
The rain was heavy, like a bucket pouring down.
Many peaches and leaves on the peach trees in Xiangyun Temple were knocked off by the rain. The peaches were like smashed human heads, falling all over the ground, as if they had been chewed by dogs.
It’s a bit dark inside the Jade Emperor Hall, but everyone’s eyes are so sharp.
After about half an incense stick of time, the young monk Yuquan suddenly opened his eyes.
"Haha, you stinky cat demon, my Buddhist power has finally recovered!"
Yuquan, who was sitting on the ground, suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.
"snort!"
With a cold snort, the resentment in Grandma Tianqi's eyes became even stronger.
She said unhappily, "Kill me if you want. How can I, Tianqi, be afraid of you two human boys? However, little monk, I want to remind you that if you kill me, I'm afraid that no one in this world will be able to remove the 'mysterious demon energy' in that boy."
Threatening again?!
I looked at Grandma Tianqi with disgust.
After a while, I gritted my teeth and said to the young monk Yuquan, "Yuquan, don't worry about me. Kill this old cat demon now, otherwise something bad might happen. As for the Seven-Aperture Exquisite Heart, I think it is either on the body of this old cat demon, or she has secretly hidden it somewhere."
"... ... You kill her, and then we can look for the Seven-Aperture Heart!"
"But, Brother Yang, you still have that mysterious demonic aura! What if..."
I interrupted Yuquan and said loudly, "Don't worry, just kill this old cat demon first."
The little monk Yuquan looked at me, then looked at Grandma Tianqi, then he put his hands together and chanted, "Amitabha!"
Then the young monk Yuquan nodded at me.
What he meant was that he was going to kill the old cat demon.
After a while, Yuquan slowly walked to Grandma Tianqi with a knife in his hand.
Grandma Tianqi has been practicing for more than a thousand years. She has almost no weaknesses. Even her civet cat tail has disappeared.
If it weren't for Shu Cunguan's "Aura of Annihilation and Ice", I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to deal with this old cat demon.
Soon, Yuquan walked in front of Grandma Tianqi.
Without changing her expression, Yuquan said softly, "Grandma Tianqi, you are a demon, and you have killed so many people. And today you actually dared to break into our Xiangyun Temple, which is the greatest disrespect to the Buddha. So, today, I will enforce justice on behalf of heaven."
Grandma Tianqi's face was swollen and purple, and she gritted her teeth as she made her last attempt. She still wanted to use her demonic energy to break the "Ice Energy of Destruction", but it was of no avail. In fact, the more she forced herself to use her demonic energy, the deeper the Ice Energy of Destruction would penetrate.
"Assholes, my grandmother Tianqi has been in the world for thousands of years, but in the end she died at the hands of you two youngsters. This is really an insult to me. I won't accept this! You two little bastards, you must die a miserable death."
The young monk Yuquan was quite cruel, and after he finished speaking, he swung the knife in his hand towards Grandma Tianqi.
But just when the young monk Yuquan was about to chop Grandma Tianqi with his knife, an old voice suddenly came from outside the Jade Emperor Temple, accompanied by the sound of rain.
"Yuquan, don't kill her rashly! Even though she is a demon, it is not your turn to kill her."
Just when the three of us were surprised to hear the sudden voice, a figure slowly emerged from the rain and walked towards the Jade Emperor Palace.
It was raining, but the man was not wet at all.
He was not wearing a raincoat, only a monk's robe. When the rain was about to fall on him, it was naturally dispersed by the golden light.
Looking up, I noticed that the man had a bald head, white eyebrows, a kind face, and a fair complexion.
But I could feel that there was no life in that man, or rather, he was not a living person at all.
The young monk Yuquan's reaction was the biggest.
When he saw that person, tears flickered in Yuquan's eyes.
The next moment, the little monk Yuquan cried "Oh my God!" and ran towards the man crying bitterly.
But just when the young monk Yuquan pounced on the man, Yuquan's body went straight through the man's body.
No, that person is neither a living person nor a dead person, but a soul!
The next moment, after the little monk Yuquan choked up and made a sound, I was stunned.
"Master, it's you. You're back! Great! You're alive! ... But Master, why can't I touch your body? Where is your flesh body?"
Grandma Tianqi's face was silent. At this time, she said, "He is dead. This is the soul of Monk Xiangyun."
