Zhu Xian: Learn from the Great Ying Immortal and rebuild the Trinity School

Chapter 84 Lies
Generally speaking, big events in this world always have some signs before they happen.

In other words – there’s a storm brewing.

In front of the bamboo building, Mrs. Gu and Feifei looked worried.

"I heard from other monks passing by that in recent days, the number of poisonous dragons on the ground has decreased a lot for some reason."

"It should be that the solar eclipse is approaching, and the Jiao Ancestor is about to break through, so he called back all his descendants, right?"

"Hey, I wonder if Master Puzhi...if he can really solve this problem, it will be a great merit, but if not, then we..."

The wife of the Gu family sighed:

"We are so incompetent, what can we do? We can only do good and punish evil."

She looked at the two children sleeping beside her with a loving expression on her face.

"If it really comes to the end, we will save as many people as we can. We can only do our best and leave the rest to fate."

…………

The next day,

Just when the high priest Kuisang summoned Puzhi and others to discuss the matter of purifying the Jiaozu, Xu Zhiqiu revealed his cards.

And in front of Puzhi and everyone else, he publicly attacked him—

"In front of Master Puzhi and you guys, I won't beat around the bush with you."

As he spoke, he and Taoist Liu positioned themselves in a strategic manner, blocking the high priest's retreat route.

"In fact, there is no such thing as a Jiao Zu. If you insist that there is one... you are it, right?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the few people who were still unaware of the situation were suddenly in an uproar.

Pu Zhi frowned and asked Xu Zhiqiu,
"Donor Xu, what do you mean by that?"

Ignoring some people's suspicious looks, Xu Zhiqiu continued:

"The entire Yu Land poisonous dragon was mutated through some kind of medicine refining method combined with witchcraft. In other words, they are all transformed from humans."

"I can prove this." The wife of the Gu family nodded. "The internal organs of the poisonous dragon are highly similar to those of humans. In other words, it is a mutated human."

Xu Zhiqiu then attacked the high priest, spreading his hands.
"Look, this is totally irrelevant to what you said before, 'The poisonous dragons in Yudi are all evolved from the essence and blood of the dragon ancestors.' Besides, I didn't see any dragon ancestors at all."

"This, this is too unbelievable!" Fei Fei covered her mouth and exclaimed, looking at the high priest, "If this is true, then why would he do such a horrible thing?"

Now, everyone's eyes were focused on the high priest, waiting for his answer.

There was no obvious emotion on his face. He just looked at Xu Zhiqiu and asked:
"So, you've been there?"

Xu Zhiqiu nodded, which was considered as an admission.

"Tell me, who is the person in the coffin?"

"May Yu Zu regain his glory." The high priest replied indifferently.

After hearing this, Xu Zhiqiu frowned.

Taoist Liu on the side said:
"In other words, the legend of Yu Zu's ascension is completely false?"

The high priest nodded, his attitude of cooperation and no quibbling made people feel awkward, as if they had the energy but nowhere to use it.

"Hey, it seems like you've given up..." Xu Zhiqiu put his hands on his waist and asked coldly, "You should tell the story again."

"There's nothing to say."

The high priest knows almost everything at this moment.

"Ascension is a lie. The fact is that Yu Zu failed, but he did not leave nothing behind. The demigod body in the coffin with the divine fire ignited is the last legacy that Yu Zu left for us, his people."

"What's the use of the divine fire?"

"Fire contains divinity, which can seize destiny, refine and elevate life, and can also transform a Jiao into a Qionglong."

"Qionglong?" Feifei was puzzled.

Taoist priest Liu explained: A snake with four limbs becomes a Jiao after five hundred years, a Jiao becomes a dragon after a thousand years, a dragon becomes a horned dragon after five hundred years, and a Yinglong after a thousand years.

Qionglong is a dragon, but it is the lowest level of dragon. Although it is far from the might and ability of a real dragon, it is also an extraordinary creature with a lifespan of thousands of years.

Xu Zhiqiu frowned and questioned the high priest:

"So, your purpose of transforming humans into dragons is to allow them to take a step further and become higher-level monsters?"

"Human power is limited, the only way is to borrow the way of dragons and join the immortal race."

"This is clearly a crooked path."

"so what?"

The high priest suddenly retorted:
"The path to immortality has been the long-cherished wish of our race for thousands of years. In order to achieve this goal, we are willing to give up our human status."

"Bullshit!"

Feifei suddenly exploded, and the girl was so angry that she trembled all over.
"Do you want to see what sin you have committed? Yes, you did it voluntarily, but what about those innocent people who died because of it? Did they do it voluntarily?"

A hint of sadness flashed across the high priest's cloudy eyes, but it disappeared immediately.

Sighed:

"This is why I am cooperating with you now. As a sinner, I have no chance of immortality. I have also long been prepared to bear all the responsibility for this crime."

"Oh! You are really good at moving yourself."

Xu Zhiqiu sneered and was very contemptuous of his actions.

"So you fooled us all."

And pointed to Puzhi,
"And this person was the one you fooled the most."

Puzhi had been chanting with his eyes closed since the beginning, fiddling with the rosary in his hand.

At this time, he sighed and slowly looked at the old priest:
"So, old donor, what is the meaning of my existence?"

The old priest also did not hide anything from him and spoke frankly:

"Your sacrifice is the prerequisite for the activation of the divine fire."

Seeing that Pu Zhi hesitated to speak, the old priest continued:
"I know what you are going to say. The dragons are violent and bloodthirsty. If you are missing, they will not be saved. I think you understand the consequences."

This is a complete conspiracy.

He also knew Puzhi's intentions, so he admitted his purpose without hesitation.

Even if he was being used, he was certain that Puzhi would never abandon the sentient beings in Yudi.

But having said that, what he did was not a human being after all.

Facing the old monk at this moment, no matter how thick-skinned he was, he could not remain indifferent.

So Chong Puzhi performed an incongruous Buddhist ritual.

"I'm sorry, Master."

"I'll fucking kill you!"

Fan Zengyang couldn't stand it anymore, blood rushed to his eyes, and he picked up the mace and was about to smash his head.

However, suddenly there was a roar mixed with the true power of Buddhism——

"stop!"

Fan Zengyang was shocked and turned around in surprise.

"Uncle!?"

Pu Zhi slapped his thigh and cried out in pain:

"Even if you cut him into pieces now, what's the point? The most urgent thing is to resolve this matter!"

Then the voice turned low and he chanted a Buddhist mantra:

"Anyway, I have already risked my life. As for whether I was cheated or not, what difference does it make to me?"
