The light of the sword is like the moon reflecting on Kyushu

After returning to Feng Jiuxiao's side, Pang Shiwu asked, "Brother, the situation at the Spirit Child Palace has been resolved. Where do we go next?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "It seems there's also an eagle enclosure and an ice servant's cave, right?"

"Yes!"

"Then let's split up. You, Brother Wolf, and Miss Chang will go to the Eagle House, and I'll go to the Ice Cave!"

Yuan Zishan said, "I'll go with you."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Okay."

Chili said, "What about me?" She knew she didn't know martial arts and couldn't help, but she still had to have the necessary awareness and attitude.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "You stay here with Erni! If you go, we'll have to take care of you."

Chili said, "Alright. Then you'd better take good care of Miss!" Going with the flow, not letting her go suited her just fine, but she didn't forget to "put pressure" on Feng Jiuxiao, that the young lady must be taken good care of.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Of course."

Wang Sheng laughed and said, "Young Master Feng, what about us?" Who would miss out on such a lively event?

Feng Jiuxiao laughed and said, "You guys want to join in the fun too?"

Wang Sheng laughed and said, "Since we're just killing time anyway, why not join Young Master Feng in upholding justice and eliminating evil, thus accumulating some good karma for ourselves? Why not?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Brother Wang and Fifteen cooperated quite well just now, why don't you join their group?"

Wang Sheng instinctively glanced at Xiong Mengyan. Wherever she went, he would go.

Xiong Mengyan smiled and said, "Of course we want to be in your group." She also gave Yuan Zishan a half-smile. Naturally, what she cared about most was Yuan Zishan's attitude.

Yuan Zishan remained expressionless, showing neither joy nor sorrow, neither anger nor laughter. She simply said calmly, "Since Miss Xiong is so kind and wants to do good deeds, we naturally welcome her." Her voice was serene and peaceful, revealing no emotion whatsoever.

Chili frowned and muttered under her breath, "What's wrong with my young lady? Why isn't she reacting at all? She should be angry, shouldn't she?"

Zhang Deyi, standing next to her, narrowed his eyes like a cunning old fox. "Your young lady has such a high level of vision! She's a person of great wisdom!"

Chili was taken aback by his words and looked at the old fox, "How did you figure that out?"

The old fox chuckled, "Of course, I can tell by looking at it."

Chili rolled her eyes at him. "Speak properly!" she thought to herself. "If you keep being inappropriate with me, I'll slap you!"
The old fox instantly sensed that invisible thorns had sprouted from the chili pepper, and if he continued to tease it, he would probably get pricked!

He immediately coughed and laughed, "Most women in this world are born jealous and cannot tolerate any rivals in love. Even if there is only the slightest chance that someone could become a rival, she will try every means to eliminate or drive them away! But your young lady can remain calm and composed, and not show her emotions. This is something that is beyond the reach of ordinary people!"

Chili narrowed her eyes and said, "You mean, being able to endure is a great achievement?"

Zhang Deyi raised an eyebrow, his expression deliberately exaggerated, and said, "Isn't that right?"

Chili said, "There are some things that absolutely cannot be tolerated!"

"But your young lady tolerated it! Guess why?"

Chili rolled her eyes and said, "How should I know? If this were before, my young lady would have kicked that brat out long ago! But this time she's being very polite, I don't know why!"

Zhang Deyi's face held an expression of someone who had seen the vicissitudes of life and understood the ways of the world. "Chili Girl, you are still young. There are some things you wouldn't understand even if I told you."

Chili glanced at him sideways: "What do you mean? What do you mean I wouldn't understand even if you explained?" She was clearly angry! This old fox actually said he didn't understand anything, what was he trying to do? Try to lecture her? Dream on!

Seeing Chili's displeasure and fearing she might turn hostile, the old fox immediately smiled and said, "It's not that you don't understand, it's just that there are some things you haven't experienced yet, so it's inconvenient for you to talk about them."

Chili thought to herself: This old bastard, saying I haven't experienced it, isn't that just a veiled reference to matters between men and women! This old fox! Of course, she couldn't pry any deeper, otherwise, how would she handle it if he suddenly dropped some bombshells that were "not suitable for children"?

Yuan Zishan's composure surprised Feng Jiuxiao.

He originally thought that Yuan Zishan would be very unhappy if Xiong Mengyan suggested teaming up with him, and might even refuse outright!
To his surprise, Yuan Zishan agreed immediately! This really baffled him!

He didn't believe Yuan Zishan would be so magnanimous as to "accept" Xiong Mengyan! There was definitely some factor involved that he couldn't have imagined!

Since we can't figure it out, let's not try!
"In that case, let's finish this quickly! Whichever group finishes the task first, they can go back to the inn."

Pang Shiwu said, "Brother, why go back to the inn? Let's go straight to the palace!" If we don't go to the palace, wouldn't it be a wasted trip to Tibet?
Feng Jiuxiao was taken aback. "Alright! Let's go to the palace then! But if you get there first, be very careful! I heard that the great wizard is still in the palace! And if I'm not mistaken, he's waiting for us there!"

Pang Shiwu frowned and said, "Wait for us?"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "That's right! Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump! Venerable White Lotus, you know the Grand Wizard best here, please introduce him."

Bai Lian said, "Alright! The great shaman is called Chizu Dezan. If the Mahayana Maitreya sect is more evil than the Demonic Sect, then the Bon sect is even more evil than the Mahayana Maitreya sect! Legend has it that Chizu Dezan was born amidst a bloody stench! His mother was already dead when he was born! He was disemboweled by someone!"

"What?! So cruel?" Everyone was shocked! Was this something a human being would do? It was utterly appalling!

Bai Lian asked, "Do you all know the meaning of the name Chi Zu Dezan?"

Everyone exclaimed, "We don't know!"

"It probably doesn't sound like a well-wishing greeting!"

Bai Lian said, "Hehe, a blessing? Chi Zu De Zan means 'Blessing the King with Blood Sea'!"

"A king bestowed with a sea of ​​blood? That sounds bloody!"

Yuan Zishan said, "That Blood Infant Prince from Liaodong is also very evil. It is said that he harmed more than a thousand infants before he mastered the Blood Infant Technique!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "I remember! He seemed to have died at the hands of Li Luomeng! One was completely crimson, and the other was covered in green scales!"

Zhang Deyi whispered, "Is this even human?"

Chili said, "Of course I'm a person!" She rolled her eyes at him, "Looking like a person doesn't necessarily mean you're a person, and not looking like a person doesn't necessarily mean you're not a person!"

Zhang Deyi felt insulted, but he had no evidence, so he could only laugh awkwardly.

Feng Jiuxiao asked, "What is the purpose of the Crimson Crystal Demon Crown?"

Bai Lian said, "It is said that if you wear the Crimson Crystal Demon Crown, you can hear the dying cries from a thousand miles away!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Your claim is worth scrutinizing! To be able to hear sounds from a thousand miles away is indeed a bit far-fetched!" Bai Lian laughed, "These are all just legends of the martial arts world; we don't know if they're true or not."

"Then let's be serious."

"It's true. There was one a few years ago. A great wizard once destroyed Samye Monastery!"

Feng Jiuxiao frowned and said, "It seems that this Samye Temple has nothing to do with the Holy Venerable."

Bai Lian said, "That's right. If they had the Holy Venerable as their powerful backer, they wouldn't have been destroyed. It's all fate. Actually, the Holy Venerable sent someone to contact Samye Temple, hoping they would come under his command, but their abbot was arrogant and unwilling to submit."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "The Imperial Preceptor personally extended an invitation, and they dare to refuse?"

Bai Lian laughed and said, "Although this Grand Preceptor has a high status, he is more senior than the abbot of Samye Monastery! That year, His Holiness was forty years old, while the abbot of Samye Monastery was already eighty! How could an eighty-year-old man look down on a forty-year-old? The key is that this forty-year-old is not even a Tibetan, and he didn't even live in Tibet before he was thirty!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "This is the conflict between a dragon crossing the river and a local snake!"

"It's a pity that the Holy Venerable, this dragon crossing the river, hasn't even shown his power yet, but the Great Wizard, this biggest local tyrant, has already shown his power! After destroying Samye Monastery, he made flutes from monks' leg bones, arrows from their ribs, and armor from human skin. It's simply horrifying!"

Feng Jiuxiao couldn't help but sigh, "There's no limit to how evil it can get!"

Bai Lian said, "It is said that the Great Wizard's combat power is comparable to my master, the Bright Dharma King, and has reached five times the level of the Glazed Realm. Moreover, he is covered with human skin blood curse armor, which is equivalent to adding another layer of protection on top of the Glazed Realm shield! His witchcraft is even more terrifying, and you can die on the spot if you are not careful!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "I remember there was also a Chizu Dezan in the Tang Dynasty. Is there any connection between this Chizu Dezan and that Chizu Dezan?"

Bai Lian said, "Like the Han Chinese, there are countless people with the same name in Tibet. The Han Chinese have both given names and courtesy names, so it's easier to distinguish them. But it's not so easy to distinguish them here. There are many people named Losang, and there are also many people named Sangjie. So this Trizden might just be someone with the same name."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Who can say for sure? But the Bon religion of today is very different from the Bon religion of the past. Before Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne, Bon religion was above the power of the king! So after Songtsen Gampo ascended the throne, he introduced Buddhism in an attempt to suppress Bon religion; when Trisong Detsen came to power, he even set a trap to kill the great shaman Ma Xiang Zhongba Jie, and completely wiped out Bon religion; however, after Langdarma came to power, he banned Buddhism again, which allowed Bon religion to revive briefly."

Bai Lian said, "The two sects are still fighting over this day, and nothing has changed."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "How can there be no change? At least now Bon religion can no longer interfere with royal power, but instead submits to it. It seems that Zanpu Qusiluo is quite capable to be able to make both Bon and Buddhism, the two major powers, submit to his royal court."

Bai Lian thought for a moment and said, "Your balancing technique is indeed quite good."

Although this balancing act seems simple, as if it's just about making the two factions fight each other and restrain each other, it's by no means simple in practice!
The two giants aren't fools; they all understand the vested interests involved. If Tsangpo Qusiluo makes a mistake, he could be swallowed up by the two giants working together!
Nobody likes empty promises!
If King Qusiluo cannot offer tangible benefits, neither the Great Shaman Chizudezan nor the Holy Venerable Losang Yeshe will help him resolve his troubles! In any exchange of benefits, there must always be an equal exchange!

Bai Lian said, "The intelligence says that Chizu Dezan is still in the palace and seems to be waiting for us."

Feng Jiuxiao said, "He wasn't waiting for us; he was just giving everyone a false impression. He was actually covering our retreat. He knew we would definitely go to the palace. Whether or not we pursued Zanpu Qusiluo, the palace was a necessary stop! Only by reaching the palace could we determine Zanpu Qusiluo's destination!"

Bai Lian said, "Since he is waiting for everyone, I'm afraid he has set up a trap in the palace. Young Master, you must be careful!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "I will definitely be careful, but no matter how he sets up the formation, it is still an evil path." He slowly raised his right hand, his palm shining with a bright blue light, and a faint blue flame was floating and rotating, occasionally flashing with sparks and making a crackling sound, which was full of electric power!

Bai Lian's pupils contracted. "This...this is the innate thunder intent?" He really couldn't understand how a mortal's flesh and blood could condense such a vast heavenly thunder. This thunder intent was definitely not condensed from internal energy; it was full of the aura of divine thunder from the nine heavens!
Feng Jiuxiao said calmly, "Not bad! The innate lightning intent condensed from the innate lightning seed!"

Bai Lian thought to herself: What use is the great wizard's evil magic, no matter how powerful? Thunder overcomes all evil! Before the mighty heavenly thunder, all things are but ants! The thunder dragon descends upon the world, and heaven and earth are consumed by flames!
"Young master, then I'm relieved!"

With a slight thought, Feng Jiuxiao caused the blue halo floating in his palm to disappear instantly.

Han Yuan said, "Master, I think I should stay with Young Master Pang."

Bai Lian was taken aback, then said with a half-smile, "Looks like you're having more fun following Young Master Pang, aren't you?"

Han Yuan smiled but remained silent.

It's always so much fun when Young Master Pang is around! The fighting is exhilarating! The killing is insatiable!
Han Yuan glanced at Feng Jiuxiao's group just now. Besides Feng Jiuxiao, there was Yuan Zishan, Xiong Mengyan, Wang Sheng, and Duanmu Yan. These were all peerless masters. With them around, he probably wouldn't even get a taste of the soup!
Although Young Master Pang is a ruthless killer, he is also very good at "taking care of people." He always deliberately leaves some targets for me, and he will come to my rescue if I am in danger! Where can you find such a good "protector"?
Bai Lian said, "Alright, but remember, your main responsibility is translation. Don't overstep your bounds, and follow Young Master Pang's lead in everything!" The implication was that no matter how much you like fighting, you can't steal the limelight!

Han Yuan said, "Yes!"

Pang Shiwu said to Biegwolf and Chang Zijin, "Brother Wolf, Sister Zijin, shall we go?"

Bigwolf and Chang Zijin said at the same time, "Let's go!"

Pang Shiwu, Bigwof, Chang Zijin, and Han immediately set off, hurrying towards the Eagle House, and soon disappeared from everyone's sight.

Feng Jiuxiao said, "Since Fifteen and the others have left, let's go too."

Wang Sheng said, "Okay!"

Feng Jiuxiao suddenly noticed that Zhang Deyi, Ouyang Zhong, and Helian Rongguang were also coming along, so he said, "You guys shouldn't go. Just stay home and wait. If those evil monks start using witchcraft and evil magic, you probably won't be able to withstand it."

Zhang Deyi felt much more at ease, but on the surface he feigned generosity: "We are willing to follow you through fire and water, young master!"

Feng Jiuxiao naturally knew that he was just putting on an act, but she didn't expose him. "Old Mr. Zhang's kindness and generosity are admirable. That's enough! You all stay at the inn and make the best of it! There are enough of us!"

Zhang Deyi feigned regret, "Oh dear, I'm too old to be of any help anymore."

However, he was secretly delighted, finally he didn't have to take any risks!
Whether it's the Eagle's Den or the Ice Cave, just hearing the names tells you that the place must be extremely dangerous!

Even if they manage to escape alive, they'd still have to go with them to the Golden Palace to meet that fearsome great wizard. Isn't that just asking for trouble?! Trouble with a wizard is practically suicide.

It is said that the great wizard was not only a master of martial arts, but also possessed supernatural powers, able to perceive movements thousands of miles away, and could summon hellish soldiers, making him extremely evil!
Only a fool would go on an adventure with Feng Jiuxiao and the others!
Since Feng Jiuxiao asked me to stay, I might as well go with the flow and have a good sleep at the inn!
Helian Rongguang wasn't worried about dying if he went, because he had absolute confidence in the strength of Feng Jiuxiao and the others!
He believed that Feng Jiuxiao would definitely be the ultimate victor! So he really wanted to go and watch the excitement!

However, Feng Jiuxiao forbade him to go, and said it very seriously, so he had no choice but to give up!

He secretly analyzed that Feng Jiuxiao's seriousness meant that things were definitely not simple!
Feng Jiuxiao and his companions possess exceptional martial arts skills, so they naturally have no fear of the Great Wizard. Therefore, their concern should not be about themselves!

They can only worry about themselves!

While they could protect themselves, who could be sure they could protect a general with only average martial arts skills?

Helian Rongguang thought about it more and more and found it made sense. In the past few days, he had thoroughly witnessed and experienced some of the cruel and insidious methods of the Tibetan Mahayana Maitreya sect and Bon sect, and he had developed a sense of dread towards those monks!

The great wizard may not be as skilled in martial arts as Feng Jiuxiao, but the other party is proficient in witchcraft!
It's said that sorcerers can harness the power of spirits and deities, making them beyond human resistance! What if I go and get killed? Better safe than sorry!
Therefore, Helian Rongguang responded readily: if they don't want me to go, I won't go.

Ouyang Zhong wanted to try again: "Young master, I'll be there to support you from a distance. I won't cause you any trouble!"

Feng Jiuxiao said, "No, you stay too and protect Young Master Zeng."

Seeing Feng Jiuxiao's resolute decision, Ouyang Zhong knew he couldn't ask any further questions and could only reply, "Yes."

Feng Jiuxiao thought to herself: What's the use of Ouyang Zhong standing so far away? Once that great wizard secretly casts his spells, he can kill someone without them even realizing it! Unless, of course, Ouyang Zhong is protected by heavenly lightning! (End of Chapter)
