Wet viviparity

Chapter 188 Wings, Second Brother
In the Yin Mountain below Xiaoxi Mountain, a jade talisman cut through the heavy Yin energy, adding an inconspicuous brilliance to this mountain full of dark tones.

The jade talisman went straight to a golden altar in the mountain. The altar was decorated with colored glaze, coral, amber, giant clam, agate, etc. The precious light here condensed into colorful auspicious light, which made it impossible for people to see the ghosts and gods on the golden altar.

"Thus have I heard: At one time the Bhagavan was staying in the vast Vajra Dharmadhatu Palace blessed by the Tathagata, and all the Vajra holders gathered there.

The Tathagata believed in and understood the magical powers of play, and was born in a great pavilion of jewels, which was high without center or edge. It was adorned with various great and wonderful jewels, and the Bodhisattva’s body was a lion throne.

The names of the vajra are: Vajrapani who is pure in space, Vajrapani who walks in space, Vajrapani who is born in space, Vajrapani who is covered with multicolored clothes, Vajrapani who walks with good deeds, and Vajrapani who abides in equality in all dharmas.

On the altar, the ghosts and gods were preaching the "Great Sun Divine Transformation Sutra". The ghosts and wandering souls of Yinshan all knelt down before the altar, listening to the sutra intoxicatedly, hoping to cleanse their Yin bodies and escape their spiritual wisdom from chaos.

Suddenly, there was a sound of breaking air, and a gray hand stretched out from the auspicious light on the altar and grabbed the jade talisman that broke through the air.

"You've come so early?"

Inside the auspicious light, a light exclamation sounded, and then with a flick of the hand, the auspicious light was withdrawn, revealing an evil ghost in rags. He said to the ghosts below the altar: "Call the Sun-wandering God Zhu Wen, and have him take the "Moth-Flying Lantern" and give it to the new Insect Official."

After a while, a soul fell down from Yinshan Mountain. There was a small bell covering the soul. It was the Soul-Falling Bell, a treasure of the underworld belonging to the Sun-wandering God.

After taking the magic weapon of the insect official of the underworld, the Sun-wandering God bowed to the ghosts and gods on the golden altar and said, "This time, the underworld has appointed three officials. I'm afraid there will be big changes. Why don't you go with me to see this insect official?"

"inappropriate."

The ghosts and gods on the altar chuckled a few times and said, "I am only sent by the underworld. Although I hold the position of "Lord of the Underworld" and nominally command you underworld officials, it is just an empty title.

The hidden power of the Taoist land is actually controlled by the Taoist sect. If I rashly touch upon it, it will be disadvantageous to both me and you.

Besides, you and that insect official are both disciples of Heguan, so I won’t disturb your fellow disciples’ reunion.”

That day, the parading god Zhu Wen nodded, and then his soul returned to the world of the living. After wearing formal Taoist robes and hats, he rode a mountain leopard and came to a deserted village and temple in Xiaoxi Mountain.

The wild temple had long been in ruins, with only broken walls and mottled red walls left.

In the temple courtyard, in front of an incense burner, stood a figure wearing an ochre-yellow Taoist robe and a Hunyuan scarf. The figure's hands seemed to be habitually folded in his sleeves and looking in a certain direction.

Zhu Wen, who was sitting on the leopard's back and had a slightly out of shape figure, couldn't help feeling a little dazed when he saw the young Taoist in the temple.

He still remembered that he had seen this person in the small blessed land of Luoxi many years ago. At that time, this person was only a dozen years old, wearing two small buns, and looked very old.

By the way, this man looked like this at that time, with his hands crossed and hidden in his wide sleeves.

Now that I think about it, it turned out to be to hide the characteristics of six fingers. At that time, I thought that this junior brother was pretending to be mature.

So many years have passed, nearly twenty years, which is almost a quarter of a mortal's life, and he feels that this person seems to have never changed.

"Junior brother, why don't you go to the other courtyard to take a bath and rest?"

Hearing this, Ji Ming turned around and saw Taoist Baoshang, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhu Wen, as long as Zen Master Su Luo is still alive, how dare I stay in the other courtyard openly?"

Zhu Wen was stunned for a moment. Although his junior fellow apprentice spoke very kindly, his words were as sharp as knives.

To be honest, he admired his junior fellow apprentice in his heart. Although they had never had a close contact in the temple, it was rare for the other party to be able to withstand the pressure from Zen Master Sura and achieve his current level of Taoism.

He first handed over the moth-flying lamp to his junior fellow apprentice, and then comforted him, "The Zen master can't keep asking you for trouble every day, and how can he just ignore the huge mess in the Four Clouds Temple?

Besides, this Fayan Courtyard is a branch of Lanyin Temple, a solemn place. You are a Yin official, so the Zen master must be possessed, otherwise..."

Having said this, Zhu Wen could no longer continue.

Judging from the Zen master's past behavior, he did seem to be somewhat "possessed".

Before the celestial being came to the world, he dared to command the gods of mountains, rivers and earth to search the mountains and examine the soil in order to locate the place where the celestial being would be born. He even left the battlefield without permission during the first battle in Guancai Cave and hunted down the pregnant celestial being. His courage was extremely great.

Seeing Zhu Wen like this, Ji Ming was certain.

Master Fei Huzi once said that his second senior brother had some skills, but he was just an average person. He was not aggressive enough, but he was good at maintaining the status quo. However, he had a rare love for his fellow disciples. "Senior brother, may I ask if there is a way to break the deadlock?"

Seeing that his junior fellow apprentice was asking a question sincerely, Zhu Wen thought about it carefully and said, "If the Zen master really disregards the rules, then I will clip his wings and make him a lonely man."

"Yeah! Wings."

As if in response to their words, not far outside the temple, wisps of smoke rose from the shadow of the temple in the green shade, and faint shouts and slightly shrill screams could be heard.

Zhu Wen knew that was the location of Tonghua Temple, a place of filth and dirt in the mountains. It had been quiet for a long time only in recent years because the abbot of the temple, Hu Ma, had disappeared.

However, he heard that two strange people had come to the temple recently and seemed to be interested in helping to revive the temple's popularity. He had already sent out invitations to people in the mountains, intending to host a banquet in the temple.

Soon, an officer under Zhu Wen came over and said anxiously, "There was a big fire in the Guangfu Pagoda in Tonghua Temple. All the scattered people in the pagoda died in it. No one has survived."

"When you die, you die."

Zhu Wen waved his hand and said.

Those unorthodox followers attached themselves to the monk Fawen and fought against his own Heguan lineage, making the mountain a mess. He had long wanted to get rid of them, and this big fire was a good thing.

"Can"

You Jiang hesitated slightly.

"Say!"

"Fa Wen also died in it."

Zhu Wen subconsciously turned his head and looked at the figure beside the stove. A thought suddenly emerged in his mind, "He killed him. He was trying to cut off the Zen master's wings."

"Junior brother, this is..."

"I've often heard that the heretics are murderous and that the people are unruly. They would fight over a disagreement. I'm afraid the fire in this temple was caused by this."

Ji Ming had a blank expression on his face. He looked in the direction of the smoke and said calmly, "It's a pity that my Taiping Mountain disciple Fa Wen, who liked to associate with the evil ways of the scattered people, got himself involved in such a fight and lost his life."

Zhu Wen truly felt the murderous nature of his junior fellow apprentice.

He had worked with Monk Fawen in the other courtyard for many years. They had been fighting for a long time but he never thought of killing him. As soon as his junior brother came, he killed him to ashes. He was truly a decisive person.

"Yes! It's a pity for Fa Wen's cultivation."

Zhu Wen said so.

The timing now is very clever. The Night Wandering God and the Soul Capture Chief and Deputy Envoy in the underworld have not yet taken up their posts. With the help of him, the Day Wandering God, and his junior brother, the Insect Official, they can suppress the matter and put an end to it.

Seeing Zhu Wen's cooperation, Ji Ming knew that the relationship between brothers was at work. In order to consolidate this relationship, he took out a list and gave it to Zhu Wen, the second senior brother from Heguan.

He glanced at the list in confusion, which showed the locations of some of Fangzhong's bamboo forests, Cinnabar Mountain, forest gardens, animal enclosures, and spiritual workshops.

"What does this mean?"

"Brother, there is no need to ask in detail. Just arrange for someone to check these places, and wealth will come to you."

Ji Ming stepped on the Void Warrior step by step, holding the moth-flying lantern with the round cover of the word "囍", stepped into the air, and said: "In the future, it will be inconvenient for me to go to Xiaoxi Mountain often, and I hope that my senior brother can help me."

When Zhu Wen saw Ji Ming being carried away, he felt that his junior fellow apprentice was a bit mysterious, like a dragon that can only be seen from the head but not the tail. This was a feeling he had only experienced when he first met his master.

Perhaps, apart from the master and the eldest senior brother in Heguan, the third person to establish a foundation will be this younger junior brother.

In a corner of the temple, a scholar and a wealthy man came together and said to Zhu Wen, "The Yin officials Qian Geng and Shu Si under the command of the Insect Official are here to lead a group of Yin soldiers from the underworld."
