The strange thing is that although Duobao Daoist seemed to be aware of the peacock behind Zhang Zixing, he did not turn his face immediately, but patiently answered his question: "This demon's name is Peacock, and since that chaotic time, everything has been born. All things have beasts and birds, and the beasts are long with the unicorn, and the birds are long with the phoenix. The phoenix has to be mated again, giving birth to peacocks and Dapeng demons. This peacock demon is powerful, extremely fierce, good at devouring living creatures, and can suck people in one bite for forty-five miles. Ten days ago, I was on the top of the snow-capped mountain, when I was picking the essence of the moon for cultivation, I was accidentally swallowed by it, but fortunately, my Dao method is skillful, so I can keep my true body immortal. Although I couldn't get out of my body for a while, the peacock couldn't eat me, and the two sides held each other for several days, both exhausted. Later, with the help of the little apprentice Fire Spirit, he cut open his back with the fairy sword Tai'a before he got out of trouble. was about to kill this demon, but it took the opportunity to escape. This demon is fierce and violent, if His Royal Highness sees it, he should avoid it as soon as possible to avoid accidents. ”

Zhang Zixing was taken aback by this passage of Duobao Daoren, the first half of these words was clearly an allusion to the Buddha Mother Peacock King in "Journey to the West" to Sun Wukong, but unexpectedly coincided into this world. In the novel, Duobao was later captured by Lao Tzu in the Ten Thousand Immortal Array, and according to legend, Lao Tzu turned him into a Buddha. Later generations have different opinions about the relationship between Shakyamuni and Duobao, some say that after the Duobao Taoist became a Buddha, he was divided into six, and his mana increased greatly, and he approached the sect leader, and incarnated as the central Suva world leader Shakyamuni and the five protectors of the Dharma around him...... Although there are many opinions and there is no way to study it, this is another world in parallel space, where anything is possible. Judging from the words of the Duobao Daoist, I am afraid that he is the same person as the Shakyamuni in the future.

Huang Feiyan didn't know Zhang Zixing's care, and when she heard Duobao Daoist say that the beautiful peacock was actually a ferocious demon beast, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince helped it hide, she was afraid that it would be in great danger, so she couldn't help but scream. This immediately attracted the attention of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, who looked at Huang Feiyan with suspicion. Zhang Zixing's expression remained unchanged, and said: "This is my wife Huang, who has been doted on, so she often wears men's clothes to accompany her on safaris, she is most afraid of demons in her life, and she just heard that the fairy chief said that the peacock is fierce, so she is afraid." Please get rid of this demon quickly by the two immortals, so as not to harm the people. ”

The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit looked at Huang Feiyan for a while, and found that she was indeed a woman, nodded slightly, and did not doubt it anymore. Huang Feiyan heard the prince say that she was his wife, she was happy and ashamed, she was also very smart, and knew that the prince was harboring the peacock, so she bowed her head and remained silent through shame. Duobao Dao glanced at Zhang Zixing with deep meaning, and said, "Thank you Your Highness for informing me, since this is the case, the poor Dao has retired." ”

"Congratulations to the Immortal Chief, Our Lady!" Zhang Zixing saluted respectfully, "Immortal Chief, he said that if he has leisure, he will also invite him to meet in Moyi, and I will wait for the banquet and listen to the teachings of the Immortal Chief." ”

"What a vacant table! People from the poor mountains and wilderness are fortunate to be courteous to His Royal Highness today, and they will definitely visit instead. Duobao Daoist returned the salute with the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and with a wave of his long sleeves, a pale yellow light slowly flew and fell in Zhang Zixing's hand, which turned out to be a topaz bracelet with exquisite animal patterns engraved on it.

"You and I meet today, that is, by chance, since the poor road is called 'Duobao', how can you let Your Highness return empty-handed? ”

After the Duobao Daoist finished speaking, he turned into a silver light and quickly fled into the distant sky, followed by the red light of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, and soon disappeared into the sky.

Zhang Zixing looked at the jade bracelet in his hand, and felt a burst of pride in his heart: these immortals are all "big money", as long as they coax two happy words when they meet, they will give things away, last time it was Yun Zhongzi who gave him the secret of cultivation, and this time he got a talisman from Duobao Daoren.

As soon as Duobao Daoist and the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit left, they saw a yellow light flashing on the cloak behind Zhang Zixing, and the figure of a peacock appeared on the ground. Since the Duobao Dao people had depicted the peacock as a very terrifying demon before, everyone showed vigilant eyes and looked at it as if they were facing a great enemy.

Zhang Zixing was thinking about another question: can he have the super strength to stalemate with the first disciple of the Tongtian Sect, Duobao Daoren, and he is a peacock, is it Kong...... Thinking of this, his heart began to beat wildly.

Seeing the peacock coming to him, Zhang Zixing was not as panicked as the others, but just looked at it quietly. The peacock really didn't make any moves, but spat out at Zhang Zixing: "Thank you Your Highness for your help, saving your life, don't dare to forget, please Your Highness accept this thing as a thank you." ”

As he spoke, a five-colored pearl appeared in Zhang Zixing's palm, and there was a beautiful mist flowing around this thumb-sized colored pearl, and what Zhang Zixing felt more was the powerful energy it contained.

"This is part of the essence of my inner dan, I think His Royal Highness should be a person who is new to cultivation, if you eat it, not only can you cultivate it to a great increase, have the great power of the dragon elephant, but also prevent a hundred poisons, a hundred diseases, and prolong your life for another three hundred years. When everyone on the side heard that this colored bead actually had such benefits, they couldn't help but envy the prince's chances - what kind of cultivation and the power of the dragon elephant are just returned, and the ability to prevent all evils from invading and prolong life is something that every emperor and nobleman dreams of.

However, to everyone's surprise, Zhang Zixing pondered for a while, and finally rejected this treasure that seemed to ordinary people to be very tempting, and said indifferently: "Peacock, I accepted the treasure of Duobao Daoist in order to be humble and dispel his suspicions. That Pixiu bracelet is just a foreign object, and your colored bead is the essence of your own surname cultivation. Now that you are seriously injured and urgently need to recover, how can I take advantage of the danger of others? Besides, saving you this time is purely for the sake of righteousness, if I covet treasures, wouldn't I have offered you to the Duobao Dao people earlier? You better leave as soon as possible to heal, and you will have to mention something in return. ”

After speaking, Zhang Zixing threw the colored beads back to the peacock. In fact, he was not unmoved by this colored bead at all, this decision was carefully calculated: the "power of the dragon elephant" himself already existed, no matter how advanced his cultivation was, at best he could only be invincible among the human race, and it was impossible to defeat those immortals. As for the invincibility of a hundred poisons and the increase of longevity, it is not too attractive, if the fate of Zhou Annihilation Shang does not change, even if his lifespan is increased by another three hundred years, it will be in vain.

Instead of asking for these low-value benefits, it is better to sell a favor to the peacock, if the estimate is good, it will definitely be able to have a strong arm in the future. Peacock didn't expect that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince really didn't want to repay, he was stunned for a while, and suddenly sighed: "I am a demon clan, born in Hongmeng, enlightened in the emperor, although empty cultivation for thousands of years, but only know that 'if you don't do it for yourself, heaven and earth will be destroyed', now I am fortunate to meet His Royal Highness, only to know the word 'love and righteousness', it is really self-shame." As the saying goes, great grace is not grateful. His Royal Highness's grace of life, the righteousness of helping each other, Peacock remembered in his heart, he said that even if the form and spirit were destroyed, he also wanted to repay this kindness. ”

After speaking, the peacock nodded at Zhang Zixing three times, let out a low roar, and flapped his wings and left.

When Huang Feihu and the others heard the peacock's words, they all cast reverent glances at Zhang Zixing, especially Huang Feiyan, whose eyes flashed with little stars. Originally, this girl was very resistant to being forced to make a side room for the prince, so she had repeatedly made things difficult for Zhang Zixing before, but now she was overjoyed in her heart, feeling that His Royal Highness the prince was indeed a lover worthy of entrusting her life.

Zhang Zixing listened to the peacock's words, knew that the goal had been achieved, and checked the Pixiu bracelet in his arms, his heart was very proud, when he saw the reverent eyes of everyone, he suddenly felt a little sorry, but he did not regret what he did, in order to change the fate of the country, he would do whatever it takes, even if it was unscrupulous.

On a mountain cliff hundreds of miles to the west.

"Master, where did the demon flee to, why don't we continue to hunt it down?" asked the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit with a puzzled face.

"Huo Ling'er, did you Dao Peacock really flee to the West?" Duobao Daoist asked casually with a long beard.

"Didn't the prince just say ......" The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit reacted very quickly, and the fire flashed in her eyes, "Could it be that we have been deceived?

"Yes, if I'm not mistaken, the peacock is hidden on the cloak behind him," Duobao Daoren praised without anger: "What a great merchant prince, brave and strategic, and easy to deal with, if I hadn't refined a pair of peeping eyes, I would have almost been hidden by him." ”

"I only said that behind the cloak is the picture of the ancestor of the Great Shang Xuanniao, it turns out that ......" Our Lady of Fire Spirit is a fiery spleen, and said angrily: "I saw him as a corporal of courtesy, polite to us, and he was also knowledgeable and interesting, but I didn't expect that it was actually hypocritical, perfunctory to our master and apprentice! I will go and take down the demon now, and then have a retribution with the prince!"

"Wait!" Duobao Daoist stopped the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit who rushed back, and said: "That demon is very strong, and there is little difference between him and his teacher, although he is seriously injured, he still has spare strength, if he is burned with jade and stones, I am afraid that we will not be able to please us." I already have a premonition that it should not be extinguished today, so I sold my surname to His Royal Highness the Prince. ”

"Master, since you know that the prince is slandering us, why did you give him a talisman magic weapon?" The Holy Mother of Fire Spirit asked puzzledly, "According to my surname, I have to teach him a lesson!"

"Huo Ling'er don't be anxious, think that the teacher is capable, what is a mere Pixiu bracelet, in fact, this prince's respect for me is not a fake, maybe he was bewitched by the peacock before, and he was lost for a while, but after all, he is an extraordinary person. I see that the prince is extremely lucky, he is young, but he has laid the foundation of cultivating the truth, Shouyuan surpasses ordinary people, and he will be able to ascend the throne as the emperor in the future and dominate the world. What's more, my sect luck is closely related to the big business, there are many disciples in the court, the prince is the future son of heaven, today to form this good fate, to say that it is very beneficial to the prosperity of my religion. ”

Seeing the unwilling appearance of the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit, Duobao Daoist shook his head and smiled: "Don't worry about it anymore, you go back to Qiu Ming Mountain to cultivate." Recently, for some reason, the heavens have been reversed, the cause and effect are unknown, and even the mixed yuan saint is difficult to calculate, so it is better to concentrate on cultivation with peace of mind, and watch it become better, and he will go back to Biyou Palace as a teacher. ”

Although the Holy Mother of Fire Spirit is arrogant, she has always respected her teacher, and she did not dare to disobey at the moment, so she gave a salute and flew away.
