The reason why Bajie wants to deal with Hongyangzi first is actually very simple.

In addition to the fact that this Hongyangzi really deserves to die, it is also Bajie who wants to take a look by the way, whether the living souls who died in this Changbai Mountain are classified into the underworld, or whether they are really taken by Tianchi.

At present, this operation really made Bajie discover the clues.

This Hongyangzi's soul really did not go to the Yin Si Difu, but there was a strange force that was pulling Hongyangzi's soul towards the direction of Tianchi.

"Tianchi Shrine Maiden."

Bajie silently recited the other party's name in his heart, and his face became more and more cold.

According to the information transmitted by the six-eared macaque, the witch of Tianchi is pregnant with ancient witchcraft, and in the depths of Tianchi in Changbai Mountain, there is an extremely secret cave, saying that she is retreating in the cave, but the six-eared macaque suspects that the other party is studying some secret methods of evil that are not tolerated by the Three Realms.

The reason why it is suspicious is also because the Tianchi witch has always maintained a strong guard against such a listening supernatural power as them, and the formation laid out outside the cave mansion, even if the six-eared macaque wants to use the supernatural power to probe the secrets in the cave, it is no way out.

Unlike Hongyangzi, who sucks the souls of mortals and ordinary beings, the souls of the witches of this Tianchi are not ordinary. Moreover, she is not too interested in the souls of demons and spirits, and her favorite is the souls of Terran cultivators.

The reason why the True Monarch Temple was not in a hurry to deal with her was precisely because of this.

Based on the list that Bajie saw just now, he knew that there were not many good people who practiced in seclusion in Changbai Mountain, and even if they were not evil cultivators, they were not righteous people.

After all, there is no large-scale danger to the survival of mortals, so the True Monarch Temple adjusted the priority of Changbai Mountain relatively backward.

Because of the existence of the Tianchi witch, it can even be said that those evil cultivators in the entire Changbai Mountain are her potential prey, and the difference is when to do it.

But since the Great War of the Gods, there has been very little news of the Tianchi Witch Maiden, and these evil cultivators in Changbai Mountain are more often after the Great War of the Gods, and they gradually came here to open up the cave.

Moreover, in today's Three Realms, especially outside Changbai Mountain, she has the reputation of "Tianchi Goddess", and how did this reputation come about, Bajie learned from the information of the Zhenjun Temple, because the Tianchi Witch has treated the injuries of many cultivators with her witchcraft, and has the effect of rejuvenating and medicine to eliminate diseases.

This is also the reason why the pair of evil cultivators, under serious injuries, would go to Tianchi to ask for help from the "Tianchi Goddess".

If so, then here comes the problem. is obviously a goddess who "heals diseases and saves people", why is she called a witch by Huang Xiu'er, and a witch by the mountain god, and she is also on the wanted list of the Zhenjun Temple?

The six-eared macaque transmitted to Bajie also clearly recorded the reason for this, that is, this witch practiced witchcraft, and needed to consume a large part of the soul of the cultivators, and went down the mountain to heal the seriously injured cultivators, firstly, to test the results of their own witchcraft practice, and secondly, to spread the reputation, so that those injured cultivators took the initiative to send them to the door.

Relative to hunting cultivators by themselves. Obviously, it's safer to let them send it to the door themselves. Even if the other party finds out that something is wrong, but when he is seriously injured, how can he be the opponent of the shrine maiden?

The reason why the shrine maiden adopted this method was actually due to a lack of trust in her own power.

Moreover, this witch did things, obviously after careful consideration, those cultivators around Changbai Mountain came to her for medical treatment, unless she really couldn't cure it, otherwise she basically healed and went down the mountain.

On the other hand, the more distant those who are far away from Changbai Mountain, just heard about her fame and came here. Naturally, there are very few people who can go down the mountain smoothly.

That's where her word of mouth comes from.

It is recorded in the sources that shrine maidens are not good at fighting.

However, the six-eared macaque made a special mark for the second senior brother, so that the second senior brother could not relax his vigilance because of this, because this witch was a member of the ancient winter god Xuan Ming.

The winter god Xuan Ming, according to rumors, is the grandson of the Yellow Emperor, with a human face and a bird body, a green snake hanging on each ear on each side, two green snakes on his feet and a two-headed dragon as his mount.

In addition to the god of winter, there are also four gods of spring, summer and autumn, respectively, who are in charge of the four seasons of the world. The summer god Zhu Rong, also known as Huozheng, among the Zhu Rong clan, there have even been several Yan Emperors; The autumn god is harvested, and the legend is that he is the auxiliary minister of the human king Shaohao, who is in charge of killing, also known as the god of punishment. But in fact, he is also a civil official.

And Xuan Ming, in addition to the Winter God, is also Shui Zheng, who once assisted the human Wang Zhuan to complete the feat of reaching the heavens and the Jedi.

As a member of the Xuanming clan, this witch said that she was not good at fighting, and the six-eared macaque didn't believe it, but in fact, in the Three Realms, there really wasn't much record of her shooting.

The few times he shot at the target, the strength is actually very average, and it has too high an estimated value.

Under such circumstances, the six-eared macaque still dared to judge that she was not the opponent of the second senior brother, but it was actually due to the six-eared macaque's trust in the second senior brother's current cultivation realm.

Maybe others don't know, but the six-eared macaque knows very well that his second senior brother seems to have an open-minded chest, but in fact, his heart is also very sensitive, but he cleverly hides such emotions.

I have to say that the acting skills of the second senior brother are really innate and unique.

Often when he starts to perform, even the master may not be able to see through his inner thoughts, and even say. The second senior brother will often express the demeanor that others want to see on his face very naturally.

This once amazed the six-eared macaque, but it also touched the six-eared macaque who was familiar with the second senior brother's heart.

Therefore, in the view of the six-eared macaque, in the Changbai Mountain. Maybe it is an opportunity for the second senior brother to really build up his self-confidence, and if he can solve the trouble of Changbai Mountain, it will naturally be a great way to kill multiple birds with one stone.

As for whether it will be because of the second senior brother who is in danger. The six-eared macaque said that from the mouth of the river to Changbai Mountain, he only needed to turn over half a bucket to arrive, and he could support him at any time, even if the witch of the pond still hid some powerful means that day, the six-eared macaque did not believe that she could defeat him and join forces with the second senior brother.

But in fact, the second senior brother, who has been stable all his life, was originally cautious in his imagination.

In order to verify the accuracy of his information, he even cleaned up the traitor and Buddhist outcast Hongyangzi first.

Now the Tianchi witch is in retreat, this Hongyangzi's divine soul is actually not the Tianchi witch who took the initiative to ingest, but the witch array she laid in the Changbai Mountain played a certain role in traction, absorbing Hongyangzi's divine soul to Tianchi.

Hongyangzi now feels very innocent.

It's just an inexplicable flying disaster.

He is meditating and practicing in his cave, and he has long stopped going out to cause trouble, but if he doesn't go out, he can't prevent others from coming to the door.

It's still the second apprentice of the Sanzang Holy Buddha, who has been the most popular in the Three Realms over the years, Zhu Bajie, don't look at this Zhu Bajie has no reputation in the Three Realms, and don't care if he has any real materials, just because his master is the Sanzang Holy Buddha, he can't afford to provoke him.

The bottom line and style of the three Tibetan masters and apprentices have basically spread throughout the Three Realms, although Hongyangzi stays at home, this does not mean that he does not have some channels to obtain information from the outside world, unless he is really closed to the death, it is impossible to know nothing about the most avant-garde news in the outside world.

When Bajie knocked on the door of his cave, he knew very clearly the other party's intentions, and the things he did back then were found by their masters and apprentices, so there would basically be no second end.

Although he didn't want to provoke and offend the Great Mercy and Grace Temple, when it came to the end, his life mattered. He can only fight to the death, so he really didn't spare his hand, just to take Bajie's life, devouring the other party's soul, in order to improve his own cultivation, and then under the pursuit of the Great Ci'en Temple, he died in the world.

His ideal itself is already very skinny, but he didn't expect this world to directly dry him.

Zhu Bajie dodged the fatal blow, but he didn't survive three moves in Zhu Bajie's hands, who said that Zhu Bajie is a short board among the five masters and apprentices?

He actually had the illusion that he might not be able to fight.

This led to the fact that when he didn't do what he could, his head was smashed by Bajie with a nail rake, and his body was directly destroyed, and he died.

It doesn't matter if the body is destroyed, for cultivators, as long as the soul is still there, there may not be no chance of resurrection. In order to prevent the soul from falling into the hands of Zhu Bajie and being overtaken by him with Buddhism, the soul was scattered back in the Three Realms and truly died from then on.

But he never expected that before he could find contact with the Netherworld Difu, there was a very evil force, sealing the only remaining power in his soul, and also pulling his soul in the direction of Tianchi.

Such a change was not expected by him at all.

The details of the goddess of Tianchi are not known to everyone.

Huang Xiu'er knew that it was because the patriarchs of the five immortal families had come to Changbai Mountain early enough to truly see the scene of the Tianchi Divine Maiden seizing the soul of the evil cultivator.

The mountain god also knows that it is naturally through his own priesthood. But what he knows is only some fur, at most some leftovers, more secrets, and the mountain god does not dare to probe too deeply, in case it really provokes this Tianchi goddess The mountain god suspects that the other party is not afraid to attack him.

Therefore, he only knew that this Tianchi witch was studying some witchcraft related to the "divine soul", and he didn't know anything more, so he didn't give Bajie more substantial help before.

"Help!"

Hongyangzi was also sick and rushed to the doctor.

He didn't know what kind of result he would face when he went to Tianchi, but he subconsciously felt that it was definitely not a good end. Then he saw that Bajie stopped in front of him, and he didn't have time to think about it, so he didn't use his brain at all, so he began to ask Bajie for help.

It's just that Bajie stood in front of him like this, and did not cut off the traction between Hongyangzi's soul and Tianchi, but gradually loosened his strength to stop Hongyangzi.

In Hongyangzi's eyes that were first surprised and puzzled, and then gradually frightened. Bajie watched Hongyangzi's soul pass through his body and come out of his body.

Then Bajie performed a stealth method, hiding his figure, and also covering his own scent, so he followed Hongyangzi's soul and went to the direction of Tianchi together.

In fact, when he saw the information transmitted by the six-eared macaque, Bajie wanted to disguise himself as a wounded person to approach this Tianchi witch, once the other party got close, then he could take it down with lightning speed, and completely cut off her, the biggest hidden danger in the Changbai Mountain area.

But then, Bajie denied this plan.

The other party obviously has two brushes in "medical skills", so if the injury on his body is not real, it is very likely to be recognized by the other party. If you startle the snake because of this, let the other party have a defense, and want to find another opportunity to deal with her, it is not as easy as when you first shot now.

Therefore, Bajie chose the current strategy.

First kill an evil cultivator who is guilty of murder, and then when the other party's divine soul is pulled by Tianchi, he uses the method of change invisibility, and then if he can blend into her cave and find out, it is naturally the best.

In fact, this is also Bajie's own curiosity, what is the purpose of collecting so many monks' souls this Tianchi witch.

Not only Bajie was curious, but the six-eared macaque who had always paid attention to the affairs of Changbai Mountain was also a little itchy. I want to send a clone to Changbai Mountain. But in the end, he chose to give up.

It seems that the doppelganger technique of the six-eared macaque and the great sage is naturally not comparable to the soul clone of Wujing, firstly, it cannot withstand too much power infusion, and secondly, the farther away it is from the ontology, the weaker its connection with the ontology will be.

Wujing's doppelganger supernatural power, even if you look at the Three Realms, it is difficult to reproduce the existence of his nine souls, and it is not simply a complete soul divided into nine parts, but the nine souls share a body, which is still completely different in nature.

Envy cannot be envied.

"Something is wrong!"

Bajie, who had hidden his body and smell, followed behind Hongyangzi and had already reached the vicinity of Tianchi, but the closer he got to Tianchi, the more Bajie could feel a strange and cold atmosphere.

And the corpse here is very heavy.

Although there was snow under his feet, the feeling to Bajie was that he was stepping on the white bones of Sen Sen at the moment. The Divine Sense probed a little under the snow, but found nothing.

Bajie silently recited "Sanzang Holy Rulai", slightly calming the waves in his heart.
