Acting as a god and Buddha: starting from Guanzi

Chapter 207: Sleeping in the eternal wind and frost, the six-winged demonic cicada emerges from the world

"Two masters, this Yanyun Mountain is very dangerous, so the young one was sent here."

At the foot of the mountain, a villager who wrapped himself tightly said goodbye to Meng Yuan. He would not risk getting close to this hell mountain unless the other party solved the trouble that had plagued the village for several years.

In front of the few people was a thousand-foot-high mountain, and thick smoke was rising from the mountain. Just one puff made people feel numb in the throat, itchy nose, and dizzy. This smoke was highly poisonous.

And this is also one of Meng Yuan's destinations this time, where the other bell is located as mentioned by fellow Taoist Zhang.

The Southern Wilderness is really vast. They have walked tens of thousands of miles along the way. They also accidentally heard that there is a Smokey Cloud Mountain here, which is shrouded in a layer of poisonous smoke all year round. It is a forbidden place for living creatures.

"Thanks for your work, the monks and disciples will go on their own, so there is no need to bother the donor."

"Well, the master has magical powers, but he must be careful." The villager left after saying this. He did not dare to stay here longer.

After watching the villagers leave, the master and apprentice immediately turned around and entered the mountain.

Although the entire mountain was shrouded in poisonous mist due to the spread of poisonous smoke, it could not threaten the two of them.

As expected, there were no birds or animals in the mountains, there was no life at all, and the silence was eerie.

"Master, is that man really willing to give up a magic weapon?" Wei Tian asked with some doubts. The magic weapon is not a cabbage. Didn't you notice that the great ancestors Taizu Yan and Luo Zu didn't have magic weapons in their hands? This person gave it away casually. It is inevitable not to arouse suspicion.

"Aren't I willing to give you the divine eye?" Meng Yuan said with a smile.

"How can this be the same?"

Meng Yuan did not hesitate, but said: "Things outside the body, such as magic weapons, ordinary iron, gold, silver and dung, are no different to the Great Dao. Divine weapons are fate, and dead leaves are also fate."

Wei Tian suddenly understood and then stopped asking any more questions.

The two masters and apprentices went deep into the mountain and quickly found the poisonous smoke golden bell under Wei Tian's divine eyes. However, at this moment, someone seemed to have reached it first.

It was a terrifying-looking Taoist priest, wearing a blue-green gold silk robe, with a venomous snake as a belt around his waist, a brightly colored spider lying on his head, and many scorpions and centipedes crawling in the pockets and sleeves of the robe. Climbing up, there was a big toad as tall as a person under the seat, which could be said to be full of five poisons.

Seeing Master and Disciple Meng Yuan, he immediately chuckled and said: "It's really strange. Today, someone unexpectedly had some bad luck coming to my door. Could it be that he also discovered this treasure?"

Meng Yuan saw through his reality at a glance. He was a spirit and monster incarnate. He only had the cultivation level of the early stage of Nascent Soul, but a very powerful force was dormant in his body. If it burst out, he might reach the semi-god level!
"Fellow Taoist, the thing in the cave has an owner, and its owner has given it to the poor monk."

The poisonous Taoist didn't know that Meng Yuan had exposed his true identity. Hearing this, he suddenly showed his yellow teeth and said happily: "Why didn't the smelly bald donkey say that this southern wilderness has an owner, and the treasures are inhabited by virtuous people, you?" If you are not afraid of death, stay."

This monk doesn't know the depth, but after a while, the thing in the cave will spit out poisonous wind smoke, which is really powerful. If the monk is not strong enough, it will naturally turn into withered bones. How can he compete with the poor Taoist for this thing?
Meng Yuanli stood aside and waited quietly with his eyes closed.

Not long after, a terrifying wave came from the cave, and bursts of poisonous smoke came out like poisonous dragons. Wei Tian and Ming Ma suddenly couldn't bear it. Meng Yuan waved his hand and sprinkled a piece of Buddha's light, like a big giant. Zhong protected everyone inside.

And the poisonous Taoist priest waved his sleeves, and saw that the poisonous smoke on his body ran out at this moment, and he opened his mouth wide and began to swallow the poisonous smoke, and then kept feeding it back to him. Gradually, the poisonous smoke became much thinner.

This move immediately made Meng Yuan see something, and he said quietly: "Fellow Taoist, could this thing in the cave be originally used to suppress you?"

As soon as these words came out, the Taoist priest was furious: "Okay, you really know that damn guy, boys, kill him!"

He thought that the monk was just peeking at the treasure, but he never thought that he was really related to the person who suppressed it in the first place. He could not forgive it.

In an instant, countless poisonous insects rushed towards Meng Yuan.

"Don't be rude to my master!" Wei Tian rushed out with a golden pestle, smashed an arm-long centipede with one pestle, and then waved the golden pestle to block the poisonous insects in front of him.

Today's Wei Tian's strength has been earth-shaking. His realm has been condensed with golden elixirs. He has magical weapons such as true scale armor and demon-binding ropes. Now he has obtained a Taoist divine eye. He is so brave that few monsters in the same realm can fight with him. , dealing with these poisonous insects is easy.

The Taoist was also a little surprised when he saw this. It seems that things can't go well today!

buzz-

Three pairs of transparent wings appeared behind him, and they disappeared instantly at an extremely fast speed. The heaven and earth roared, as if the hustle and bustle of ancient times came across the wilderness.

Wei Tian's expression changed. The other party's terrifying power made him feel as if he was facing a golden retriever. A vicious beast?

"Roar!"

But he saw the golden-haired animal on the side suddenly jumped out, opened his mouth and spurted out a stream of flames to force him back. He was full of fighting spirit. This man made the blood in his body begin to boil.

Um?This is
"Do you also have the blood of ancient ferocious beasts?" the Taoist said solemnly.

"Roar!"

"Can't you even speak? How can such a waste be counted as one of my ferocious beasts?"

Taoist Poison seemed to have forgotten Meng Yuan. His six wings shook, and a terrifying demonic sound came out of his belly. The power hidden deep in his blood gradually revived, and in an instant he exploded with semi-god-level power.

The golden retriever was also not to be outdone. The scales under the golden hair on its body shone slightly, and it roared continuously. The two terrifying beasts instantly fought.

But Meng Yuan and Wei Tian took the opportunity to walk into the cave, and the golden wheel of merit appeared behind them and turned into the sun, protecting his whole body from being eroded by the poisonous smoke.

The cave is extremely deep, with a thick layer of black scorched earth attached to both sides. These are the remnants of poisonous smoke over the years, and are extremely poisonous.

"Master, is there anyone there?" Wei Tian shouted immediately when he saw a figure lying on the ground in front of him.

The two of them got closer and saw that it was indeed a person, but to be precise, it was a human-shaped body. The body was covered with a thick layer of poisonous scorched earth, and it was impossible to tell what it looked like.

Meng Yuan waved his hand and put it away.

As they went deeper into the cave, they discovered several humanoid bodies one after another, but slowly, these bodies became more and more weird and no longer looked like humans.

"Master, what is this?" Wei Tian dug out a strange body from the ground and handed it to Meng Yuan. It had a dark appearance, a round body, six or seven legs, and a big hole on its back. .

"cicada!"

"Is there Zen in this too?"

"It's not Zen." Meng Yuan smiled.

There are cicadas in the world. They hibernate underground for several years, break out of the ground and chirp, and then stop in one summer. If there are cicadas that can survive the eternity of wind and frost and come out against the odds, this thing is something extraordinary.

"Let's go, the golden bell should be down there."

Meng Yuan collected the cicada slough and led Wei Tian into the deepest part of the cave, where he immediately saw a magical scene.

On the root of a dead tree, I saw a black gold demonic cicada the size of a millstone. Its six wings soared into the sky, seeming to vent its endless power. But now there was only an empty shell left, and a bell hung on its mouthparts. .Wei Tian was about to step forward and take it off when Meng Yuan suddenly stretched out his hand to pull him back. Several sharp space cracks appeared in front of him, and the poisonous Taoist rushed out of them.

"You actually came to steal the treasure while I was distracted!"

Wei Tian was shocked, and then he stared at it with a faint divine light between his brows and eyes and said, "You defeated the golden retriever?"

"Haha, that evil beast has been sucked dry by me. You can go and collect its body now." The Taoist sneered, showing enjoyment on his face, as if he was reminiscing about something.

"You are looking for death!" Wei Tian was furious, raised the golden pestle in his hand and slammed it down, boom!

The entire cave was shaking, and cracks seemed to be gradually appearing on the surrounding stone walls.

"Disciple, don't be rash."

Meng Yuan immediately shook his head at the Taoist and said, "Although my fellow Taoist is strong, if you want to hurt my golden-haired beast, you are lying. It's just that my beast is a bit naive. I'm afraid it was deceived by the method you used to escape its shell. "

Hearing this, the Taoist immediately stopped playing with Wei Tian and stared at Meng Yuan: "Did you see it?"

Meng Yuan spread his hands, and suddenly more than a dozen humanoid and insect-shaped bodies appeared in his hands. He then smiled and said: "These should be the bodies that fellow Taoists shed in order to escape the suppression of this thing, right?"

buzz-

With six wings, the Taoist came straight towards Meng Yuan. He was about to chop him into several pieces with his wings, which were known for their sharpness and could even cut through space. However, he realized that the monk was faster than him!

As the Buddha's light flickered, Meng Yuan had already walked to the old tree stump, and took off the golden bell and the first body of the demon cicada behind him.

"You can take the treasure, but return the body to me." The Taoist stared at him fiercely with both eyes.

"You still don't know your friend's name?" Meng Yuan asked.

"I am the ancient six-winged demon cicada. Now you can call me Taoist Demon Cicada."

In order to get back his first and most precious body, he endured it!

"Why was fellow Taoist Demon Chan suppressed here?" Meng Yuan looked at the body in his hand. It was actually engraved with divine patterns of law. No wonder Taoist Demon Chan wanted to take this thing back.

Taoist Demon Chan also frowned when he heard this. It was a long-standing story. Although he remembered it deeply, it still took some time to recall it.

"I have been dormant in this world since ancient times. I was born 5000 years ago and wanted to revitalize my lineage of ferocious beasts. Unexpectedly, that damn guy fell from the sky and said that I was causing trouble to the common people and wanted to suppress me."

"Oh? You don't know him?" Meng Yuan asked curiously.

Taoist Demon Chan said angrily: "I have never seen this guy before. His whole body is shrouded in divine light and it is difficult to see clearly. He is very coquettish."

"But how could I, the six-winged demonic cicada, who travels across the three realms, be afraid of him? He couldn't even eat ashes when he flapped his wings. But this guy didn't know what kind of broken mirror he took out, and reflected me on the spot. I was plotted by him, and then he used this broken bell to press me down. Here."

"But my cicada tribe is born to shed its shell, and there is nothing in the world that can trap me. Haha, I, the Demonic Cicada Taoist, are born again. When I get my true body back, I will make this guy look good!"

Just as Taoist Demon Chan was dreaming about suppressing his enemy in a manhole for 5 years or sucking him into a human body, he saw the little monk opposite actually put away his precious body.

"Damn monk, how dare you covet my body!" Mo Chandao cursed angrily.

Meng Yuan shook his head: "My fellow Taoist has not yet recovered his evil nature. Taking away his true body will be a disaster rather than a blessing, and will inevitably kill all living beings. The poor monk accepted the treasures of fellow Taoist Zhang but cannot leave his karma to him. Please follow me and listen to the scriptures." Wouldn't it be nice to wash away the evil spirits in your heart and the demonic cicada will turn into a golden cicada?"

"fart!"

Taoist Demon Chan didn't want to listen to his nonsense. Now it was clear that the other party would not return his true body. Even though he was afraid, he finally waited until the broken bell was silent this time and he had to take it back!

The semi-god-level power instantly destroyed the entire cave, but both of them had magical powers. Meng Yuan and Wei Tian instantly appeared outside the cave, and Taoist Demon Chan also rushed out.

Jin Maohuan was currently chasing another Taoist Demon Cicada all over the sky, but it was just an empty shell. When Wu Wu saw the real Taoist Demon Cicada appearing, he immediately realized that he had been deceived, and rushed over with a roar.

"Damn it, I forgot about this evil beast!"

Through the brief fight just now, Taoist Demon Chan has already discovered that Meng Yuan's strength has actually reached the semi-god level. In addition, there is also the golden-haired monster. If the two of them attack together, he may not be able to resist it.

"Roar!"

Jin Maohuan's anger at being teased began to explode, and he chased Taoist Demon Chan and bit him continuously, causing him to run away in a hurry and left helplessly.

Soon after, Jin Maohuan, who couldn't catch up, had to run back dejectedly. The guy ran too fast.

"Master, why didn't you stop him?" Wei Tian asked a little strangely. Although Taoist Demon Chan was powerful, he was by no means a match for Master. Why did he let him go?

Meng Yuan smiled and looked at Wei Tiandao: "That Taoist Demon Chan is fierce and cunning. I ordered you to take the golden fur to capture him and bring him back to the temple."

"Roar——" Jin Maohuan suddenly became energetic.

Wei Tian also immediately accepted the order without asking why.

"But Master, that guy ran too fast and I don't know where he went. How should I find him?"

The Southern Wilderness is so vast, and Taoist Demon Chan is extremely good at escaping. Without guidance, he might not be able to encounter him in tens of thousands of years, and there is no way to capture him.

When Meng Yuan heard this, he took out a body and shrunk it to the size of a palm using the Ruyi method and handed it to Wei Tian: "If the Taoist Demon Cicada appears within a thousand miles, this thing will guide you."

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the body emitting a faint light pointing somewhere.

Wei Tian immediately mounted his golden retriever and chased after him excitedly.

Watching the man and the beast leave, Meng Yuan didn't care. It didn't matter whether they could catch the Demon Chan Taoist. They just wanted to train the two, otherwise they might suffer big losses when they meet those old monsters in the future.

When the strength is about the same, wisdom becomes the key factor in determining victory or defeat.

Cicada is also Zen.

Then he turned over his hand and took out two golden bells. One of them was the fire bell that contained the drought demon, this one was the smoke bell that suppressed the six-winged demon cicada, and the other one was related to some evil thing?
This fellow Daoist Zhang is dealing with very dangerous things!

Meng Yuan tried to find out what his purpose was, but even with his discerning eyes, it was all hazy and he couldn't see anything clearly, so he had to give up.

"Something big is going to happen over there in the South China Sea. I have to speed up my pace."
