Chapter 303: Night Conversation
Just as Bai Yi was thinking, Ao Ling, Hei Feng, Hu Da, Hu San, Bian Dao and others also entered the Spirit Snake Palace one after another. In the past two hundred years, there have been as many as nine Golden Immortal Stage masters in Black Wind Mountain, and in addition to these five, there are four other incarnations of owls, foxes, tigers, and crocodiles. It can be said that with the current strength of Black Wind Mountain, it is not much worse than Taihua Mountain of Chijingzi, plus there are dozens of demon kings in Xiniu Hezhou who take care of each other, which also gives Bai Yi a lot of confidence.
After everyone arrived, Bai Yi took the lead and said, "I called everyone here today, and I have a few things to order. After speaking, Bai Yi glanced around at everyone in the hall, and saw that everyone was listening carefully to what he was saying, Bai Yi continued: "In a month or so, there will be a monk from the Tang Kingdom of Nanzhan Buzhou passing by our Black Wind Mountain, you tell the little demon below, tell them not to embarrass the monk, if he comes to the Black Wind Mountain realm, bring him to see me." ”
After Bai Yi finished speaking, Hu Da, Hu San and the others all showed surprised expressions, and after a while, they turned into doubts. An ordinary monk can make the king pay so much attention, it seems that this person must not be as simple as an ordinary monk.
Since the end of the East China Sea incident, Bai Yi had never gathered a group of demons to discuss things, and now he actually held a meeting for a monk from Nanzhan Buzhou, such a thing had to make people wonder. Everyone looked at each other a few times, and then began to discuss Bai Yi's intentions. It's just that no matter what the reason, it doesn't seem to explain Bai Yi's approach.
After thinking for a moment, Hei Feng said with some solemnity: "Big brother, the monk you are talking about, but the reincarnation of the Golden Cicada of Buddhism?"
"Yes, over the years, I have been inquiring about the movements of Buddhism, and the reincarnation of the golden cicada naturally can't escape my eyes. Bai Yi said indifferently.
After recalling for a while, Hei Feng said solemnly: "I remember that the Yellow Wind Monster once said that if you eat the golden cicada of the tenth reincarnation, you can live forever, although I don't know if this matter is true or not, but it was indeed rumored in Xiniu Hezhou at that time. It's just that I didn't expect the time to come to this time, big brother, do you have any countermeasures?"
Suddenly hearing that they could "live forever", Hu Da, Hu San and others were very excited. Especially Bian Dao, as a demon king in Xiniu Hezhou, he naturally participated in the original demon alliance party, and he had also heard the Yellow Wind Monster and the Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor talk about this matter, but after many years, Bian Dao was about to forget about it. I didn't expect that hundreds of years later, the golden cicada would really be reincarnated in the tenth life, and he would have to pass by the Black Wind Mountain. Such an opportunity is very rare, and immortality is almost out of reach for the demon clan.
Thinking of this, Bian Dao asked in a trembling voice: "King, since you can live forever by eating the meat of the golden cicada, then why don't we ......" As he spoke, Bian Dao also made a gesture to wipe his neck.
Seeing everyone's reactions, Bai Yi smiled bitterly in his heart, although Bai Yi had already eaten peaches and could live forever, but for the demon clan who did not have the resources to cultivate immortals, the temptation of immortality could be imagined. But now Bai Yi had to persuade them to give up the idea of eating Tang monk's meat.
Shaking his head, Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "I don't know if you can live forever after eating the meat of the golden cicada, but I dare to say that whoever dares to touch a cold hair of him will die." As he spoke, Bai Yi told everyone about the plan of the Buddhist Sect. Seeing everyone's shocked expressions, Bai Yi said: "That's the way it is, if you don't want to die, then give me up the idea of eating golden cicadas, otherwise it will harm the Black Wind Mountain, don't blame me for being ruthless." At the end, Bai Yi's eyes swept over everyone present, and pushed back everyone's careful thoughts one by one.
After listening to Bai Yi's explanation, although Bian Dao understood that the meat of the golden cicada was inedible, he still asked a little unwillingly: "Great King, could it be that this hard-won opportunity for immortality is really let go like this? Although the life of cultivators such as us is far beyond ordinary people, if they do not reach that legendary realm, they will not be able to escape the restriction of life span after all, this is ......?"
Sighing helplessly, Bai Yi said in a deep voice: "This is also something that can't be helped, after all, our strength is too much worse than that of Buddhism." ”
After speaking, Bai Yi stood up, looked around at everyone and said: "That's all I want to say, after everyone goes back, you must restrain your little demons, this time things are different from the past, no one can make a mistake." Hei Feng, after you go back, let the red boy go back to Cuiyun Mountain, his current cultivation is already good, and he is enough to be qualified for any demon king. ”
After everyone left, Bai Yi took Ao Ling and walked slowly out of the main hall of the Spirit Snake Palace and walked towards the resting place. Looking at the night sky, Bai Yi curled his fingers and calculated, and after a while, a sigh came out of his mouth again, and he whispered: "A glimmer of hope, it is impossible to escape!"
There seemed to be a deep meaning in these contradictory words, but after that, Bai Yi fell into silence again, and in the darkness, only a few footsteps came, and all the words seemed to have never appeared.
Following behind Bai Yi, Ao Ling looked directly at Bai Yi's back and asked in a low voice: "Brother Bai Yi, do you have anything to worry about? Is it a matter of Buddhism? Could it be that this 'Journey to the West' is really so dangerous, with Bai Yi's strength, he doesn't have the confidence to get through?"
Walking slowly to the courtyard, Bai Yi looked up at the night sky, and said in a slightly sad tone: "The stars are very faint tonight, and the moon has also hidden in the clouds, does this imply that the sun will lose a lot of color tomorrow?"
After pondering for a moment, Ao Ling sighed faintly: "What does Brother Bai Yi mean is that the Journey to the West is just the beginning, and the real danger is still to come?"
Bai Yi retracted his gaze, glanced at Ao Ling with a complicated expression, and asked rhetorically: "Ling'er, follow me, you have suffered a lot, sometimes I really don't want to pay attention to these things, but escaping, is it the solution to the problem?
The rhetorical words made the two fall silent again. After a long time, Ao Ling seemed to smile, and smiled a little happily.
"Although I really want to do that, I know that Brother Bai Yi will definitely not run away, because you are the strongest. What's more, for more than two hundred years, you have been with me, and I have lived a very happy life, even if it is ...... Alas, in any case, I have no regrets. ”
"It's that simple?" Bai Yi asked softly.
Looking at each other, in the night, the two looked at each other, and fell silent for a while.
