Chapter Twenty-Four: The Gift of the Demons
As soon as the old man confessed, the big and small leaders such as Dapeng, Octopus, Houjiu, and Su Shu echoed together, when the master was not there, they were all arrogant, and they could not be a lifetime, but as soon as the master returned, the majesty of the past was still there, which one dared to be proud of his merits, and did not know how to advance or retreat?
Yang Nan looked back and saw that Chiyang was silent not far away, so he smiled at him and said, "Big brother, why don't you say a word?"
Chiyang has been fighting in the south and north for several years, and his cultivation has improved greatly, at this time he is already a third-order cultivator of the grandmaster, and when he heard Yang Nan ask, he still said with a calm face: "Anan, you can't blame them all for the matter of the Zhenjun Temple, I am also responsible for this." ”
With Chiyang's calmness, if it weren't for the urgency, Yang Nan shook his head and said: "I am willing to enter the mortal world for the sake of becoming a Venerable, and I didn't want to get involved in the trivial matters of the world, but now that it has developed to this point, it is a number of days, and I can't blame you, whether it is good or bad, it depends on what happens in the future." ”
Yang Nan knew in his heart that if there was no help from Hu Yuan and other Kunlun disciples, even if he gave Lao Lan ten dares, he would not dare to erect the banner of immortals to recruit troops and buy horses, gather the people of the world, and dare not compete with the Sizhou Sect to snatch the good materials of the best brothers! Although these little demons are a little bold, their loyalty cannot be questioned.
What's more, there is a shadow of the head of Xuanxu behind this matter, Yang Nan is a disciple of Kunlun, and the interests of the sect should be put first in everything, and there is no need to talk about blame.
His face softened, and all the demons in the hall breathed a sigh of relief, even though Yang Nan had traveled for several years, but in the hearts of the demons in the Spirit Beast Mountain, Yang Nan was as terrifying as the sky, if the master wanted to fight or kill, even if he cultivated to the highest gold-topped Dapeng, he couldn't raise the idea of resisting.
You must know that it has only been a few years, and the mana aura on Yang Nan's body at this time has become more and more terrifying, and he is already a cultivator of the Venerable realm!
Looking at the circle of aura behind Yang Nan's head, which monster dares to be presumptuous?
The old man smiled with a black face: "Master, you have already achieved Venerable after a few years, so do we still have the power in this mortal world?"
Yang Nan's face sank, and he shouted: "When did I say that I have become a Venerable? You have worked hard to maintain the True Monarch Temple and earn a great karma for me, naturally you have merit, but you are bold and lawless, you have the same mistakes, I want to reward and punish you!"
The old man grinned, nodded and replied: "What the master said is very true, if you want to be punished, everyone will be punished! However, the master must always look at the roster of spirits and the family business of his subordinates before punishing, right?"
He is not only Yang Nan's confidant, but also the general of the guard, and the pro-Houzhi is different from the demon Dapeng and other demons, and he is even more relaxed when he speaks.
The monsters to which the Zhenjun Temple belongs, all of them have sent their thoughts on the spirit book, this volume from the spirit beast mountain temple of the spirit soul book records the origin, origin, name, and cultivation of more than 138,000 little demons, and even where the Zhenjun Temple is served is also recorded one by one, Yang Nanshen's eyes are like electricity, and he can see all the names clearly at a glance.
The monsters on the spirit book are divided into five categories of flowers, birds, insects, fish and beasts, the number of each category is different, the largest beast is about 50,000 people, the smallest flower and tree spirit monster is about 10,000 people, the highest is the great master, the lowest is also a master, the origin, the degree of loyalty is written clearly, clearly.
After Yang Nan saw it, he couldn't help but nod his head in approval, it seems that Lao Yu and a bunch of monsters really treat the Zhenjun Temple as their own industry, and the worst of the more than 100,000 monsters also has division-level cultivation, and this force is rare in the world.
With these 100,000 demon soldiers, why worry about the uncertain world?
Not to mention, the thousands of little Taoist children who are learning Taoism in various Zhenjun Temples, these disciples will enter Kunlun Mountain in the future, and they will also be imprinted with the mark of Zhenjun Temple.
Yang Nan thought about this, and couldn't help but laugh and said: "Okay! This roster is clear, and the origin can be known at a glance, which is good! It's really good!"
Seeing the master's approval, the old man had a little more joy on his face, and turned his head to the demons and smiled: "What are you waiting for? Why don't you offer the sacrifices you received everywhere?" After he finished speaking, he turned his head and smiled at Yang Nan again: "The good master learned that this sacrifice was not won by us, but the mortal officials and gentry of various prefectures and counties, every May 17, on the occasion of the birth of the master, the Zhenjun Temple is a treasure like a mountain, gold and silver like earth, and the useless gold, silver and jewelry are all taken from the people and used by the people. ”
May 17th, is Yang Nan's birthday, but also became the birthday of the spirit saint Zhenjun, the whole territory of the four continents is really more lively than the New Year's Festival, every household is incense and wishes, into gifts, big such as Lingbao strange things, small gold and silver innumerable, plus the accumulation over the years, actually let a dry demon soldiers and demons will be rich and rival the country!
Yang Nan was noncommittal, and the monsters such as Hua Haitang on the side took out all kinds of treasures from the portable Qiankun circle and presented them together:
"Xuanzhou Zhenjun Temple leader Hua Haitang presented gifts to the master, ten bottles of Xuanqing dew, one hundred flowers of Qionghua through the sea, a thousand jade beads in the night, one hundred catties of Yangshan gold essence iron, six bottles of Danfeng pith, six white cloud horses, ten flower girls, ten high-grade spirit stones, and strange flowers and plants. ”
"Huangzhou Zhenjun Temple Commander Waiting Wine for the Master Gift, Immortal Monkey Drunk Hundred Bottles, Tengyun Dan Ten Gourds, Dingguang Beads Hundred, Sage Calligraphy and Painting, Ten Boxes of Piano Scores, Black Mountain Red Iron Hundred Pounds, Spirit Beast Juggling Gang, Six Huangguang Horses, Ten Fox Girls, Spirit Stones Don't Count, Strange Flowers and Plants Don't Count. ”
"Juggling gang?" Yang Nan couldn't help but be angry and funny when he heard this, this wine actually even got out of the juggling gang, it seems that he really used his heart to the extreme for the gift.
Waiting for the wine to see the master asking, he said with a smile: "Master, I don't have anything else to give, but I see that these more than ten kinds of spirit beasts are naturally smart and can play all kinds of tricks. ”
Yang Nan was noncommittal, and said lightly: "Well, let you bother." ”
Seeing that others were diligent in their gifts, the big goldfish with cheeks on the side couldn't wait to jump up, and shouted: "Nanzhou Zhenjun Temple leader goldfish for the master, Nanzhou cloud paper ten boxes, Lingtong pill ten bottles, Nanming Pearl thousand, Jiuzhou sage hand scroll ten, Buddhist monk hand roll ten, Taoist patriarch hand roll three, dark iron thousand catties, purple rainbow horses, ten mortal beauties, ten high-grade spirit stones, strange flowers and plants." ”
Yang Nan couldn't help but laugh when he heard this: "Goldfish, what the hell are you doing? You actually got the handwriting of the three sages of Taoism, Confucianism and Buddhism, do you want me to integrate and unify the three religions?"
The big goldfish sneered and said: "Good to teach the master to know, this Nanzhou is the master's homeland, there are not many treasures, more is these handscrolls, letters or something, my old Jin was taught by the master, and he didn't dare to come nonsense, this is all the Nanzhou family family dedicated to the master, there is a way to be gracious, and the old gold had to be offered." He naturally doesn't understand what the use of these words, calligraphy, paintings, and paintings is, but I heard that his master was born in Confucianism, and learned Taoism, and later made friends with monks.
Yang Nan shook his head slightly, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "If you have a heart, put it aside, let me carefully refer to one or two, maybe there will be a harvest." ”
Seeing that the owner liked it, the big goldfish nodded with a smile and put all the things on the table, the honest and honest Su Shu took a big stride, and said in a humming voice: "Dongzhou Zhenjun Temple leader Su Shu presented a gift to the master, one ancient ding, three Lingshan, a thousand East Pearls, a thousand Hunyuan iron catties, ten bottles of Dongcheng Dan, a hundred Tieyuan beads, ten iron guards, a hundred pieces of skin armor, a hundred soul assassination knives, six black dragon horses, ten tree girls, ten high-grade spirit stones, and strange flowers and plants. ”
Yang Nan saw the Zhanggao Guding carried by several capable demons behind Su Shu, and said in surprise: "Huh, where does this tripod come from?"
Su Shu laughed and said: "Good to teach the young master to know, this tripod has an extraordinary origin, there is a Jiayuan Mountain in Dongzhou, there is a group of wild monsters living on the mountain, that day this group of wild monsters want to come to my Dongzhou territory to occupy the king, I ordered the demon soldiers to kill for three days and three nights, this group of wild monsters killed cleanly, when I found the old nest, this strange Ding was used as a water urn by this group of wild monsters, I saw that it looked peculiar, the pattern was strange, so I took it back and put it in the Zhenjun Temple, the master is a pedantic celestial, must know its origin. ”
Yang Nan nodded, and moved to the ancient Ding, but saw that this tripod has four legs and two ears, similar to the soul of an ancient divine beast, this soul is a divine beast of the underworld, born to be good at gathering souls and concentrating, not only the physical body is strong, but the natural supernatural power is the immortality of the soul, which shows its power.
This tripod is actually made according to its shape, presumably the origin must be not small, Yang Nan included it in the immortal thunder boat, and left it for Ni Cai to refer to.
Yang Nan looked at the house full of all kinds of treasures, looked at it for a long time, and sighed: "I think you have shed a lot of blood and sweat to protect the land of the four continents over the years, I don't need these things, you all take them and divide them." ”
There are nearly a million miles of land in a continent, and you want to sit on more than four million miles of territory, this vast territory must be guarded, and the price paid can be imagined, more than 100,000 demon soldiers have worked hard to save the peace of one side, each Zhenjun Temple has countless demon soldiers throwing oil and spilling blood, and the three battles, seven blessings, and seven servants in the temple are even more dedicated, and they are more conscientious than the local parents and officials, so that they have a huge family business. The old monsters and other monsters did not do their best, it was really unfair, Yang Nan had always been generous to his subordinates, and he was not much interested in these treasures, but he was a little curious about this ancient Ding and several sages.
Seeing that the master did not accept the gift, the demons couldn't help but look at each other, the old man coughed lightly, and said with a smile: "Master, these are a little bit of the little people's minds, and besides, it is not a forcible robbery, if the master does not accept it, how can I feel at ease? Besides, there are countless treasures in our hands, and we really dare not be greedy for more, so the master should accept it." ”
All the demons bowed to the ground and said in unison: "I am waiting for a piece of sincerity, and I ask the master to have mercy!"
The demons not only sent elixirs, fairy stones and spirit iron, but also the beauties that they usually had to send, this time they actually offered their own spirit horses, Yang Nan knew that they were uneasy in their hearts, and not accepting these gifts made them even more uneasy, he raised his eyebrows and smiled: "Okay, and let Long Yao's housekeepers deal with it, old man, the four commanders have all given gifts, why don't you see your gifts coming?" As a general of the four continents, don't tell me that you don't have any good goods in your hands!"
Seeing that the master was joking, the old man touched his black head and said with a smile: "The master knows everything, and the old man naturally has a gift to give ......."
