Strange Stories

Chapter 588 I will stop the God of Fuchi
On the cliff of Fengshan Mountain, in the misty pavilion, two Taoists were sitting cross-legged to entertain guests. Xianzhu, who had a bit of obsessive-compulsive disorder, was adjusting the position of the fruit plates and snacks on the tables. He came close to look again and again, and moved them again and again.

Outside the window, a literary horse was flying in the air, leading a fat crane and a white cloud.

"Master! Master Xuanming is here!"

Xu Yi stopped his horse outside the balcony of the pavilion and said to Lin Jue inside, and then saluted to the person behind him:

"Please come in, sir! My master has been waiting for you for a long time!"

"Good good..."

Taoist Xuanming got off the fat crane's back and walked into the attic with his child.

Following closely behind, Pu Mei also came riding on a Wen horse.

"Master, Taoist Bai Luan is here."

Taoist Master Bai Luan was riding on a white cloud. He looked up and saw a huge snake head sticking out from the top of the mountain above. He was a little surprised. When he came to his senses, Pu Mei had already invited him in.

"Master, Master Mo Yu is here."

Wang Ran also flew from the distant sky on a Wen horse.

Following behind him was none other than Master Mo Yu.

At this time, in the attic, Xianzhu had already stood behind his master. Every cushion and table in the hall was neatly aligned, and the distances and angles between the tables and cushions were also very strict. The fruit plates and snacks on the table were also placed extremely neatly, and the distances from the corners of the table were also quite large. It looked very standard, and even a few immortals who were used to being idle felt embarrassed to sit down.

"Three seniors, please take a seat."

"Hehehe..."

Xuanming Zhenren sat down first, and his boy stood behind him. He couldn't help but look back: "I haven't seen such a purebred Wenma for many years. Where did you find this, Taoist friend?"

"From a hidden wonderland."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming saw the Wenma, but did not see the imperial snake on the top of the mountain." Taoist Master Bai Luan said, "I think I can guess where this hidden fairyland is."

"Emperor Snake..."

The three immortals looked at each other.

Wenma, Huangshe, and Yuanqiu Immortal Tree.

Where else could it be?

Lin Jue was neither surprised nor avoided it.

These three immortals all know how to avoid disasters. They are very old, and they love to watch fun and chat. They are knowledgeable and this cannot be hidden from them.

While they were chatting, Xianzhu had already walked over with the wine jug and wine glasses, and filled the glasses with wine for the three immortals one by one.

"It's been a while since we've gotten together. It's a rare opportunity for the three seniors to gather here again. I'd like to offer a toast to the three of you."

As the host, Lin Jue was the first to raise his glass.

This time he had two cups on his table, one for him and one for the fox, to prevent the fox from drinking from his cups.

The junior sister and the three immortals raised their glasses at the same time.

Just one sip and you'll savor the whole experience.

"It's the Thousand Days Wine with fairy fruit added in it again. Hahaha, to be honest, I've missed it since I came back from your place that day." Xuan Ming Zhenren said, "I was once asked by you if I've ever tasted a better wine than this Thousand Days Wine. Haha, if it's the original Thousand Days Wine, I've definitely tasted it. But this Thousand Days Wine is the undisputed number one."

"Fellow Daoist Xuanming is right." Taoist Master Bai Luan also said, "If there is a chance, I really want to meet the mountain king who can brew such fine wine. I wonder what kind of elegant person he is."

He didn't know that it was a rough pig demon.

Lin Jue did not say anything, but just said:
"If you like, please drink more today. I don't know if I will have the chance to drink again in the future after this one."

When they heard this, their expressions froze.

They all knew that Lin Jue had specially invited them over to talk about something, but they didn't expect that he would not chat at all and just confronted them as soon as he opened the door.

"That one..."

Xuan Ming Zhenren said tentatively, somewhat cautiously: "That mountain king was also...killed?"

"Don't worry, senior. Although this place is not a secluded paradise independent of the heaven and earth, it is also semi-isolated from the outside world. You can speak casually here."

Lin Jue said, and then answered:
"That's not the case. Although the mountain king was deposed, he was once a god and was included in the Nine Heavens Gods. The Purple Emperor will not kill him easily in order to save the Nine Heavens Gods' reputation."

"That's fine, that's fine..."

Master Xuanming nodded repeatedly, and the boy behind him breathed a sigh of relief.

Taoist Master Bai Luan and Taoist Master Mo Yu on the opposite side also breathed a sigh of relief, as if they wanted to peek at their own fate from the mountain lion.

"However, the Purple Emperor is now wantonly exterminating demons without concealment. The gods on the Tianshan Mountain in the Western Regions have never done evil, and have not even left the Tianshan Mountain for hundreds of years. The Long Snake God and the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals actually came to her doorstep, sent down heavenly soldiers to massacre her guards and descendants, and poured out heavenly fire to burn her Taoist temple and Tianshan Mountain. If my senior brother had not arrived, she would have been captured and taken back to the Ninth Heaven." In addition to her, the mountain god of Yishan is also kind and generous. Haha, my junior sister and I practiced in Yishan in our early years and were taken care of by him many times. I never thought that we would be targeted by the Purple Emperor.

"Just because someone entered Yishan to collect herbs and fell off a cliff, someone entered Yishan to look for immortals and got lost, someone was injured by wild animals in the mountains, it became a reason for them to attack the Yishan Mountain God. Also, because evil ghosts once appeared in the mountain, they were afraid of the majesty of the mountain god and escaped from Yishan to cause chaos, which also became a crime of the mountain god.

"Hehehe..."

Lin Jue laughed and drank from his cup:

"My Fuyao is a monster, my disciple is a monster, Seniors Bailuan and Moyu are monsters, and Senior Xuanming's child is not a human either. Who knows when the Purple Emperor will come to visit us? Or when the tiger that brews the wine will be taken into custody. We don't know if we can survive this disaster, and we may not have the chance to drink this wine again in the future."

After hearing this, everyone was silent for a while.

They all like to watch the fun. How could they not know what the Purple Emperor has done in the past few decades?

Maybe one day others will come to watch your fun.

I felt heavy in my heart and didn't know what to say, so I had to drink.

Xianzhu's face looked calm, even calmer than Xuanming Zhenren's boy. He just held the wine jug and poured wine for them one by one.

"Master, if the Emperor of Heaven investigates, you can hand me over." The boy behind Xuanming Zhenren suddenly said, "There is no need to implicate Master."

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Xuan Ming Zhenren said, "This is a great disaster for us."

"Fellow Daoist Lin, do you know a fellow Daoist named Menghua?" said Taoist Mo Yu.

“Sounds familiar.”

"Daoyou Menghua is also a person who has achieved enlightenment. After becoming an immortal, he lived in seclusion in the northern mountains. He used to go with us to watch the fun. When Lord Fuchi fought against three true lords and several gods, he wanted to go with us, but he was good at deduction and calculated that he might face a disaster of war, so he did not go."

Master Mo Yu paused for a moment and said:
"After he became an immortal and retired from the world, he practiced in the mountains. Since he was far away from the mortal world, he could not avoid the company of wild animals, birds, spirits and monsters in the mountains, just like ordinary people living alone in a remote place would also want to keep cats and dogs company to relieve boredom. However, more than a hundred years ago, a donkey he raised became a monster. The donkey was stubborn and stupid, and did not know the seriousness of the matter. When he went out, he hurt people and did some wrong things, so he was exorcised by the Taoist priest.

“I didn’t expect that more than a hundred years later, the Nine Heavens Spirits would find him out and send the Lord of the Long Snake to find him, intending to eliminate all of his monster disciples and children.

“Fellow Daoist Meng Hua tried to stop him… but he was not good at fighting, so he was no match for Lord Long Snake and was killed with one sword.

"I wonder if he has anticipated this disaster."

Lin Jue listened in silence.

No wonder these three immortals came here today, they have seen the Purple Emperor's actions so clearly.

It turns out there is a precedent.

Pity……

"Alas..." Taoist Master Bai Luan couldn't help but sigh, "In fact, goblins and monsters are to immortals and gods just like ordinary birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, trees, and rocks are to ordinary mortals. Birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, trees, and rocks are endless, and goblins and monsters will also continue to appear. To completely eliminate goblins and monsters is like a human wanting to eliminate all birds, beasts, fish, insects, plants, trees, and rocks in the world. How can it be done? Why did the Purple Emperor go to such lengths?"

"Why don't we get through this together?"

Lin Jue suddenly spoke, staring at them with a stern look in his eyes.

"Of course I am willing, but how easy is that?" Taoist Master Bai Luan said, "The Purple Emperor is the Emperor of Heaven. Even though the Divine Lord Fu Chi has resigned, he still has the two famous Divine Lords Chang She and Ju Fang under his command. Later, the two Divine Lords Fei Yi and Zhu Ming were added, who are also the Four Saints who protect the Dao! If it is not a dispute between the gods, but a fight to eliminate demons in the lower world, he can also mobilize the Eight Departments of the Orthodox Gods and the Nine Heavens Great Immortals. Even other emperors have to listen to his orders. How can we resist the power of the entire Nine Heavens?"

"Although the Purple Emperor has a legitimate reason to exterminate demons, he has fallen into paranoia. Many of the Nine Heavens Immortals and Gods also have demon mounts, pets, disciples, and friends. The Purple Emperor has already become disloyal." Lin Jue still said calmly, "Besides, we are also prepared."

"It's you and Fuyao, as well as your fellow disciples and the God of Yishan Mountain, right?" said Bai Luan Zhenren. "Even if that's the case, with your ability and good arrangements, we can use Yishan Mountain where the God of Yishan Mountain is as a battlefield to resist the True Lords under the Purple Emperor and the Nine Heavens Gods. But Fuchi God is considered to be half a disciple of the Purple Emperor. Although he has resigned, the Purple Emperor can certainly ask him to come out again with a letter. With Fuchi God's ability, how can we resist him?"

When they heard the words "Fuchi Shenjun", their faces turned pale.

They went to watch the excitement that day, and the invincible appearance of Lord Fu Chi left them with an extremely deep impression.

Moreover, it is true that Lord Fuchi is immortal and his body has been sanctified. It is also true that his divine power is inexhaustible. It is hard to imagine who can fight against him.

Next to him, Master Mo Yu tightly grasped the cup in his hand:
"I am willing to go through this calamity with Fellow Daoist Lin. Otherwise, after Fellow Daoist Lin is defeated, I will be the only one left."

"I am willing to do so," said Taoist Master Bai Luan, "but we have to discuss the solution, and we have to be on guard against the God of Fuchi. Moreover, the Purple Emperor is also a powerful emperor, and is famous for his ability to eliminate demons and monsters. If he personally punishes us, I'm sure the God of Yishan will not be able to resist even with the help of the mountain, and we are not immortals who are good at fighting."

"Fellow Daoist Bai Luan is right." Taoist Xuan Ming shook his head helplessly. "If we wait a few more decades, and the Nine Heavens are in turmoil again, perhaps the Jade Mirror Emperor in the south will stand up again and fight with the Purple Emperor. At that time, we can not only protect ourselves, but also take advantage of the situation to overthrow the Purple Emperor. Unfortunately, the time is not right now. If the Purple Emperor commands the Nine Heavens on the pretext of eliminating demons and monsters, the most that the Jade Mirror Emperor can do is not send troops to help..."

"The Purple Emperor will definitely not give us this opportunity." Taoist Master Bai Luan said, "Not to mention that in recent decades, the Jade Mirror Emperor has been severely suppressed and can't take care of himself. Even if he has the energy to spare, he will most likely sit back and watch us wear down the Purple Emperor's power and wait for his opportunity."

"It's better to give it a try than to sit and wait for death!" Master Mo Yu said, turning his head, "What countermeasures does Fellow Daoist Lin have?"

Upon hearing this, the other two also looked at Lin Jue.

Even the boy who had always remained calm behind Master Xuanming turned his head and looked at Lin Jue as his fate was at stake.

"there is always a solution to a problem."

The Taoist looked calm and said:
"I will stop Lord Fuchi."

When these words were spoken, the three immortals were shocked.
