I am a boss in the world of nine uncles

this day.

Yongle Town, Lu Mansion.

The Lu couple escorted the fox and the two maids out of the mansion. When they were about to leave, Lu's father asked reluctantly, "Master Zhang, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Because I received a letter from Fengdu Emperor on his flying sword, Lü Dongbin will be back soon."

"Really?" The old couple were overjoyed.

"Of course, I have no right to deceive you." Qin Yao responded.

Father Lu said quickly: "That's not what we meant. We were just too surprised."

After Lu Dongbin had been away for several years, the people who were most worried about him were the old couple, who almost always hoped that he would come back soon.

"I know."

Qin Yao nodded slightly: "Okay, you two don't need to see me off anymore, see you later."

"See you later." Father Lu responded with a smile on his face. He was so happy that he completely forgot about the previous question.

However, Bai Mudan and Lan Xinghua did not ignore this point. After leaving Lu's residence, the former was the first to ask: "Sir, are we hiding from Lu Dongbin?"

"That's it."

Qin Yao said: "The Emperor of Fengdu said in the letter that Lü Dongbin took the shortcut of sealing his heart and locking his emotions to become an immortal. To prevent him from rekindling his old love, the best way is for you two to never see each other again."

Bai Mudan nodded and said with emotion: "This matter can finally come to an end~"

Qin Yao said: "I just hope that there won't be any unexpected incidents related to Lü Dongbin's love tribulation in the near future, and that we can smoothly transition to solving the Tongtian Sect..."

From his point of view, even though Lü Dongbin's "ascension to immortality" was not complete and the problem of emotional tribulation was still a hidden danger, but no matter what, he was promoted. The moment the other party was promoted to a celestial being, it meant that Lü Dongbin had returned to his position!

Before they knew it, the Eight Immortals only needed Zhang Guolao, Han Xiangzi (Fei Changfang), and Cao Guojiu to complete the group. Zhang Guolao himself had a cultivation base above the Heavenly Immortal Realm, and could return to his position at any time.

This means that the progress bar has reached six-eighths, and the main mission is about to be completed. He really doesn't want anything to go wrong with Lu Dongbin!

Thousands of miles away.

Inside the Xuannv Temple.

Chunying turned her back to the statue of Queen Mother of the West, faced the temple gate, closed her eyes, and sat in meditation.

After a while, a golden light suddenly landed in front of the door, revealing the figure of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady...

"Mystic Lady~"

Chunying slowly opened her eyes and stood up with infinite hope and expectation: "You are finally back. Did you borrow the Dingshan Magic Needle?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens walked in with light lotus steps, and summoned a thin needle shining with golden light. "This is the Dingshan Magic Needle, which is specially designed to defeat the creatures in the mountains."

Chunying was overjoyed: "With this magic needle, we will be able to subdue the pangolin!"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens said solemnly: "Don't take it lightly! The pangolin has lived in Fei Mansion for a long time and is in the company of the immortals. It is not so easy to deal with."

Chunying immediately put away her smile and nodded, "Does your Majesty have any good ideas?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens had already prepared for this, and silently handed the Dingshan Divine Needle to the other party:

"Yang Jian pretended to be me and stole the Zhu Xian Sword from you. I can naturally become his and lure the pangolin out.

However, I am only helping you to lure him out. Whether you can successfully suppress him in the end depends on you."

Chunying took the Dingshan Needle with both hands and said sincerely, "Thank you, Madam."

Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu waved her hand and said, "Our goals are highly overlapping, so helping you is helping myself. No need to thank me. Let's get back to the topic. Are you ready?"

"I'm ready!" Chunying said with a firm face.

"Let's go, and choose a cage for the pangolin first!" The Queen Mother of the West smiled slightly and immediately turned into the appearance of Yang Jian.

After a long time.

The Queen Mother of the West appeared alone outside the Fei Mansion in the underworld. After confirming that Yang Jian was not in the mansion, she immediately held her head high and strode in.

"Master."

In the courtyard, Pangolin, who was silently practicing spear, caught a glimpse of him, quickly put away his red tasseled spear, and greeted him with a smile.

The Lady of the Nine Heavens nodded and waved, "Pangolin, follow me."

"Master, where are you going?" Just as Pangolin was about to agree, He Xiangu suddenly pushed the door open and asked curiously.

The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens said, "I am taking the pangolin to see someone. You don't have to follow me."

He Xiangu: “…”

who?

Can't even see it myself?

"Pangolin, what are you standing there for? Let's go."

The Queen Mother of the West was well aware that talking too much would lead to mistakes, so she turned around quickly and walked forward silently.

The pangolin had no choice but to make a gesture to He Xiangu to go back and talk, and then he followed her away.

He Xiangu stood in the courtyard in bewilderment. Unexpectedly, at this moment, the master's voice suddenly came from the Zhuxian Sword on her back:
"Fairy, that me is fake, you should follow me quickly to prevent the pangolin from getting hurt!"

Upon hearing this, He Xiangu's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly turned into a pink fairy light, rising into the sky, and following the pangolin's footsteps from a distance.

On the road to the underworld.

The Queen Mother of the West instantly recognized the figure of He Xiangu, but did not point it out. Instead, she led them out of the gates of hell and into the human world.

In fact, she was not worried that He Xiangu would come to disrupt the situation.

For her, as long as the Emperor of Fengdu did not show up immediately, she had nothing to worry about.

The only thing I need to think about is how to deal with this little tail...

half an hour.

The Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens brought the pangolin to a hill, stood on the top of the hill and looked out at the sea of ​​clouds, and said softly, "This place is very nice."

Pangolin asked in confusion: "Master, what is very good?"

Behind him, Chunying quietly broke out of the ground, holding the golden Dingshan Magic Needle in her hand, with a sinister smile on her face, and approached him step by step.

In the sky, He Xiangu's pupils shrank and she immediately shouted, "Pangolin, be careful behind you!"

The pangolin recognized that it was He Xiangu's voice, and based on its infinite trust in her, it suddenly flew into the sky.

Chunying's sneak attack missed, so she turned around and swung out the Dingshan Shenzhen, heading straight for the back of the pangolin's head.

midair.

He Xiangu made sword gestures with her hands and controlled the sword with her mind. The Zhuxian Sword behind her immediately flew out of the scabbard, turned into a black light, and arrived at the golden needle at lightning speed, heavily knocking it away.

"The Immortal Killing Sword!"

Chunying was shocked and shouted, "How did this sword end up in your hand?"

He Xiangu raised her hand to catch the Zhuxian Sword that flew back. She stood with the Pangolin in the air and said sternly, "Do I need to explain to you? I advise you to leave quickly, otherwise don't blame me for being ruthless with my sword."

Chunying took a deep breath, turned around and bowed to the Queen Mother of the Nine Heavens, saying, "Please help me get the Zhuxian Sword back!"

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu was about to agree, but she suddenly saw a flaming ring appear out of thin air near the Zhu Xian Sword, emitting golden sparks, and its size was getting bigger and bigger. Almost in the blink of an eye, the ring expanded into a round door. Across the round door, a figure stepped through the door and instantly appeared in front of her...

"How did you sense it?!" asked Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu in surprise.

What she worried about most happened.

The appearance of the other party means that their plan has no hope of success!

"roll."

Qin Yao dispersed the dimensional gate with his backhand and spoke concisely.

The Queen Mother of the West's face turned pale, but when she thought of the other party's means of directly reaching the six realms of reincarnation, she had no courage to stay and confront him. She waved her sleeves, and a gust of wind rolled up, carrying the still unwilling Chunying away quickly.

"Thank you, Master."

After watching their figures disappear, He Xiangu and Pangolin quickly came to Qin Yao and bowed.

Qin Yao nodded: "A journey of a hundred miles begins with a single step. The day when the Eight Immortals return to their positions is getting closer and closer, and this period of time is also the most dangerous time.

This time, although I showed up in time and saved you, I also exposed the Zhu Xian Sword and the fact that I could teleport here because of the Zhu Xian Sword.

Next time they will definitely take more targeted actions, so you must be more careful."

"Yes, Master!" they said in unison.

Qin Yao smiled and looked up at the blue sky: "You guys go back by yourselves, I have something to do in heaven..."

"Master, wait a moment." Pangolin suddenly spoke.

"What's wrong?" Qin Yao looked at him curiously.

Pangolin smiled shyly and said softly, "I would like to ask Master to give me a name. When I was a demon, it was okay to call myself Pangolin or be called Pangolin.

But I am now a Taoist monk, and I don’t want to be called “pangolin, pangolin” anymore. It’s like being called “human” all the time by others. It feels weird.”

Qin Yao paused for a moment, and said with some satisfaction: "Congratulations, you already have human nature. Knowing honor and disgrace, and knowing shame, is one of the important criteria that distinguishes humans from animals."

"human nature?"

The pangolin blinked and asked, "Master, is this useful?"

Qin Yao laughed and said, "Of course it is useful. Take you as an example. After you knew honor and disgrace, you felt that you could no longer be called Pangolin and wanted a formal name.

And when you have this name, you have completed the transformation from a demon to a demon fairy, just like the transformation from the Monkey King to Sun Wukong.

The three realms of immortals and Buddhas will regard the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, as a great immortal, but they will not regard the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, the Monkey King, as a giant in the immortal way. Do you understand?"

Pangolin understood instantly, and suddenly knelt on the ground, kowtowed heavily: "Master, please give me a name!"

Qin Yao smiled and nodded, but he suddenly remembered the name that Pangolin took on when he was doing good in the original play, so he said, "From today on, you will be called Li Baijia."

"Li Baijia?"

The pangolin was surprised and curious and asked: "Master, Master, does this name have any meaning?"

"Have you heard of the poet Li Bai?" Qin Yao asked back.

"I've heard it, I've heard it."

Pangolin nodded repeatedly: "It is said that this man is an expert in both poetry and swordsmanship, and is a rare genius in the Tang Dynasty. Master wants me to become someone like Li Bai? But, I can neither write poetry nor wield a sword?"

Qin Yao smiled and said, "Since you have heard of Li Bai, have you ever heard of the story of grinding an iron rod into a needle?"

"Master, I've heard of it." He Xiangu's eyes lit up and she immediately raised her hand.

Qin Yao glanced at Pangolin, and seeing that he was still confused, he said, "Then let you, as a senior sister, explain to him what expectations this name implies..."

Hundreds of miles away.

Above a vast ancient forest.

The Queen Mother of the West, who was flying like a hurricane, slowly stopped, and the whirlwind surrounding Chunying dissipated.

"I am so angry!"

Chunying's demonic energy started to circulate automatically. She stepped on the air and said indignantly, "Yang Jian must have guessed that we would attack the pangolin long ago, so he lent the Zhuxian Sword to He Xiangu, who was inseparable from him!"

"He may not have guessed this, but maybe he is used to doing things thoroughly."

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu said softly, "In other words, he has blocked all the loopholes we might have exploited in advance, and we are always one step behind him."

Chunying's mouth twitched: "Can you not boost others' ambitions and destroy your own prestige? It's already very uncomfortable that the plan failed, and it's even more uncomfortable when you say that."

“If you don’t even dare to face the reasons for your failure, then don’t even dream of succeeding one day.” said Lady Jiu Tian Xuan Nu.

Chunying was powerless to refute, and then took a deep breath and asked: "My queen, what should we do next?"

The Lady of the Nine Heavens said: “You have also seen that Yang Jian has almost taken his defense to the extreme, and I can’t think of any good way to break the situation for a while.

However, those involved are often confused, while those who are on the sidelines can see things more clearly. You and I are both involved, so you can go find an outsider to consult you."

"Outsider?" Chunying murmured to herself.

Jiu Tian Xuan Nu nodded and said, "I suggest you go find your master. Maybe he can give you a new breakthrough point..."

Chunying nodded slightly, thinking: "Okay, I'll go back to Tongtian Sect now!"

The next day.

Tongtian Island, Tongtian Religion.

Chunying slowly stepped into the temple, looked at Master Tongtian on the throne, and immediately knelt down to salute: "Disciple Chunying, I pay my respects to the Master."

"Has the Zhu Xian Sword been retrieved?" asked Tong Tian Jiaozhu.

Chunying kowtowed and said, "Chunying is incompetent and has not yet retrieved it. Please punish me, Master."

Tong Tian Patriarch waved his hands and said, "You can't be blamed entirely for this. Yang Jian is a man of destiny who is rare in this world. Among the people of destiny in countless eras, he is one of the top ones. Even the Jade Emperor cannot defeat him, let alone you."

Hearing what he said, Chunying felt touched and desperate at the same time, and said with a complicated expression:

"Master, you are wise! I almost succeeded, but I didn't expect Yang Jian to leave a soul mark in the Zhuxian Sword and lend it to He Xiangu, which led to my failure in the end."

"Learning and applying immediately, Yang Jian is really very comprehensive."

Tongtian sighed, and then said: "From now on, you should avoid He Xiangu, unless Yang Jian himself has an accident."

Chunying: “…”

From the Queen Mother of the West to the Master of Heaven, why are they all like this? They only boost others' morale and destroy their own prestige.

"By the way, why did you come back if you didn't take back the Zhuxian Sword?" Tongtian Sect Master suddenly asked while he was silent.

Chunying quickly calmed down and said in a concentrated voice: "Master, I have no other ideas. Please show me a way forward."

Master Tongtian pursed his lips and said thoughtfully: "Perhaps, you can try to start from Lu Dongbin's emotional tribulation.

Although Lu Dongbin has returned to his original position now, he took a shortcut to become an immortal and had natural shortcomings.

If you can overcome this shortcoming, you will make them pay a heavy price! "

At this point, his expression gradually became serious, and he added: "Also, with Lü Dongbin's return, five of the Eight Immortals have gathered together without us noticing. Chunying, we don't have much time left!" (End of this chapter)
