I asked you to play a dungeon, why don't you just raise the BOSS here?

Chapter 441 You are the leader of Jiejiao. Lingbao Tianzun’s instructions, Bodhisattva should wake up

"Let me explain what happened today."

Master Tongtian glanced at all the disciples and said, "Gui Ling, do you know where Jin Ling is now?"

"Master, you have previously arranged for the eldest sister to stay in Chaoge and lead a group of disciples of my sect to deter the scoundrels in the west."

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother bowed and said, "Master has mostly been in seclusion these days, and when I encounter problems, I will go to Chaoge to discuss them with Senior Sister from time to time."

"Well, Chaoge probably doesn't need the Golden Spirit anymore, so why don't you go there?"

Master Tongtian said calmly: "Pass on my decree. You two must gather all the disciples in Chaoge and return to Biyou Palace. You must not disobey."

"Disciple accepts the order!"

The Turtle Spirit Mother hesitated and said, "So, I will go over now?"

"Well, go ahead."

Master Tongtian looked up at the sky and said, "If we delay, something unexpected may happen. We must return to the outside of the Biyou Palace before sunset."

"Disciple understands!"

Seeing that Master Tongtian had a serious expression, the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother did not dare to say much and quickly rode away on a cloud.

"Wudang, go to Luofu Cave in Mount Emei to look for Zhao Gongming. Then, you two can go to Sanxian Island and look for Sanxiao to come and see me together."

Tong Tian Patriarch glanced at Wu Dang Sheng Mu and said, "It doesn't matter if it's someone else, but remember to tell Gong Ming to think twice before doing anything, and not to accept the killing calamity without reason."

"Yes! Disciple understands."

The Holy Mother Wu Dang bowed and turned to leave.

"Well, Wuyunxian will go and gather the disciples who stayed in Penglai Islands; the rest will be led by Duobao to look for Luo Xuan, Lu Yue and other disciples."

Tongtian Patriarch glanced at the immortals and said, "There is no time to lose. Go and do it quickly."

"Yes!"

Taoist Duobao led the crowd in bowing their heads as a sign of respect and then withdrew.

"Grand Master, do you have anything to announce?"

Ah Qing looked at everyone rushing out and felt a little uneasy: "I'm stupid and don't have much vision. If you have anything to do, I'll go find Lin Xuan. Next time we'll come together to visit you, old man."

"There is something else here that concerns you. Please stay for a while."

Tongtian Sect Leader raised his lips slightly and said, "I already know where your Taoist partner is. You can rest assured that it won't delay your work."

"It's still early now, so it's okay to stay a little longer. I'm actually quite interested in Jiejiao."

Ah Qing showed a trace of doubt: "But, does your Jiejiao's affairs have anything to do with me?"

"Although the Qingping Sword has vanished into thin air, it was once the most precious treasure of our Jiejiao Sect."

Tongtian Sect Master smiled and said: "Since it was destroyed by your sword, there must be some cause and effect involved."

"Ah? You don't want me to pay for it?"

"Well, although it's not good to destroy your sect's treasure, I still need this bamboo stick for fighting..."

Ah Qing was a little nervous and subconsciously grasped the green bamboo sword: "How about this, if you want to use this bamboo stick, I can lend it to you, but I can't compensate you!"

"Don't worry, no matter how bad our Jie Sect is, we will never do such a shameful thing."

Tongtian Sect Leader didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and sighed softly, "I think you also understand that the sword in your hand has a very close relationship with the Qingping Sword. Now that the Qingping Sword has been destroyed, your sword has become the symbol of the Sect Leader of Jiejiao, so you better keep it."

"Oh, just don't ask me to pay for it..., huh?"

Ah Qing frowned slightly: "What you said doesn't seem quite right... I'm not a disciple of Jiejiao. Isn't it a bit inappropriate to carry your leader's token around?"

"Well, I need to explain it to them."

Tong Tian Sect Master nodded slightly and said: "After Jin Ling, Gong Ming, Yun Xiao and others come, you can meet them. When you take charge of Jie Sect in the future, you will be familiar with everyone in the sect."

"Hey, hey, what's the mess?"

Ah Qing was a little confused: "Aren't you the leader of Jiejiao? Why did you give up the position of leader to me for no reason?"

"I have achieved the state of Daluo with Jiejiao's tradition, so I should lead Jiejiao and rule the world. But one day I will be gone, and the affairs of Jiejiao will be entrusted to you."

Tong Tian Sect Master said proudly: "My Jie Sect has thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to me, and I can control the three thousand worlds. I think the position of Sect Master will not be a disgrace to you."

"It's not a question of whether it's humiliating or not. The main thing is that I'm not mentally prepared. This is like forcing a duck to climb a tree."

Ah Qing stuck out her tongue and said, "It's all right now. Great Master, you are an immortal saint. As long as you don't retire, you can keep working. It's fine for me to be a mascot who doesn't care about anything."

"Retire? That's an interesting and refreshing statement."

Tong Tian Jiaozhu laughed and said, "I have no plans to retire, but I probably won't live long. You should try to make some preparations in the next two years."

"Ah, wait……"

Ah Qing was horrified: "Great Master, what happened to you? I saw that you looked very healthy, how come you can't live much longer?"

"Since I appointed you as the leader of Jiejiao, I was planning to tell you these things."

Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "Do you know Lingbao Tianzun?"

"I know that he is the leader of Shangqing Sect. Like Eunuch Bai, he is one of the Three Pure Ones. He is an extremely powerful figure."

"But a while ago, I heard that there were some accidents in the mythical world. Even a master like Lingbao Tianzun fell. I don't know the details of what happened."

Ah Qing scratched his head and said, "Grand Master, you are the incarnation of Lingbao Tianzun, right? Since you are safe and sound, the rumor that Tianzun has fallen must be just a rumor."

"Well, it's not easy for you to know this."

"According to the agreement made in the past, the calamity of conferring the gods will determine the master of heaven and earth. Because it involves the rules of heaven, gods, demons, monsters and ghosts all intervene to fight for that ray of luck."

"Lingbao Tianzun uses the Lingbao method to save people in the world, and he will not stand aside. Therefore, he killed the evil corpse and founded the Jiejiao lineage."

Master Tongtian stood with his hands behind his back: "Lingbao and I are one, and I can confirm that he has disappeared into the myriad worlds."

"Ah? Master, you..."

Ah Qing hesitated for a moment: "I feel like you are a nice person, not evil at all, could you be mistaken?"

"The little girl's focus is quite strange."

Master Tongtian laughed in surprise: "When you reach the realm of Lingbao, you no longer have the distinction between good and evil in your heart. The so-called 'good corpse and evil corpse' just represent different obsessions and temperaments. Your Eunuch Bai's 'One Qi Transformed into Three Pure Ones' is the same."

"Oh, now I understand what you said."

Ah Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "The Great Master said that Lingbao Tianzun has fallen. What happened? Great Master, are you okay?"

"I don't know what's going on. With the cultivation level of Lingbao, even if he dies, he can still transform the power of origin into a world that will last forever."

"But the situation at that time was very strange. It only took a moment for the aura of the spiritual treasure to fade and dissipate."

Tongtian Patriarch frowned slightly: "It feels to me as if Lingbao had a reason to die and ended his life on his own."

"Ah? A great figure like Lingbao Tianzun would be forced to commit suicide?"

Ah Qing asked in confusion: "Did Lingbao Tianzun offend some important person in the past?"

"The dispute over the orthodoxy will naturally offend people."

Tongtian Sect Master smiled slightly: "Others may not say it, but those two people in the West hate Lingbao to the core."

"Hmm? It's Jie Yin and Zhunti, right? I haven't had much contact with Jie Yin, but Zhunti is extremely bad. I plan to have a good fight with him this time."

Ah Qing felt a sense of solidarity with them: "By the way, how did Lingbao Tianzun become enemies with them?"

“Jie Yin Zhunti are also the incarnations of great powers who came to respond to the calamity. However, the Conferred God Killing Calamity is of great importance now, and they will most likely come in their true form in a few days.”

"It's funny to say that when these two founded the Western religion, they had a far-reaching plan. They thought they could turn the whole world into a Buddhist Pure Land and thus achieve perfection in the path of the Way."

"But they didn't know that Tai Shang and Ling Bao had already made plans. Ling Bao first cut out an incarnation and came to Tianzhu, using the pseudonym 'Gautama Siddhartha'."

"Laozi went west through Hangu Pass to enlighten them and help them become Buddhas. He was the first to create Buddhism and educate the Indians and people from the Western Regions. This is called 'Laozi's conversion of the barbarians'."

"Afterwards, the two of them planned to wipe out the Indian Buddhist sect. When Buddhism flourished, only the Middle Earth was left."

Tongtian Sect Master sneered and said, "How ridiculous that Jieyin and Zhunti were blinded by greed and short-sighted. What was originally a sure thing ended up in failure."

"Huh? So, the Buddha is one of us?"

Ah Qing understood: "No wonder we have been fighting with the Buddhist sect for so long but never saw the Buddha take action."

"Well, Sakyamuni must be one of the three corpses of Lingbao. He founded the Buddhist sect, and although he used it to prove his truth, he also bore the endless karma and it is difficult to transcend."

Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "Now that the spiritual treasure has fallen, even if Sakyamuni has not yet passed away, his situation must be worrying. Don't expect too much."

"We never expected the Buddha to turn against us... huh?"

Ah Qing's mind moved: "According to the leader, the death of Lingbao Tianzun will also affect the Buddha. Then, leader, you..."

"Haha! You finally thought of this. Since the spiritual treasure has been destroyed, my cultivation is like 'water without a source, tree without roots', and it will not last long."

"It's fine if I stay in this Biyou Palace, but if I leave this place, the source power in my body will dissipate on its own, and it will be reduced to ashes within a year or so."

Tongtian Patriarch said calmly: "It is probably because of this that when the gods and humans were playing the game, they did not take me, a dying man, into account."

"This one……"

Ah Qing showed reluctance in his eyes: "What is the plan of the Great Leader?"

"Humph! I have been worshipped by the human race for thousands of years, how can I live in disgrace?"

“When the killing calamity begins, I will hold the Four Swords of Immortal Slaying and lead the Jie Sect to fight for all living beings.”

"After this battle, no matter what the outcome, I will be reduced to ashes and will not be reincarnated."

"For those of us who practice Taoism, life and death are trivial matters, but this Jie Sect is the result of my hard work. I would be unwilling to let it go with me."

Master Tongtian smiled and said, "Seeing you coming here with a sword today, I can finally put my worries to rest."

"This, this, this..."

Ah Qing frowned and said, "After hearing what the Great Master said, I think we should do something. But I don't know the magical powers of our Jie Sect at all, so I can't teach my disciples well."

"With your talent, it won't be difficult for you to learn the magical skills of our sect. I will teach you a copy later."

Tongtian Sect Master laughed and said, "Usually, Duobao and Jinling are enough to teach disciples the skills. As the leader of a sect, you don't have to do such a small thing yourself." "Ah? Then what else can I do?"

"As the leader of a sect, the most important thing is 'luck'. You have great luck, and you and my Jie Sect can complement each other."

"From this point of view, your statement at the beginning that you wanted to be a 'mascot' is somewhat appropriate."

Master Tongtian stared at the Green Bamboo Sword and said, "There is a faint aura of spiritual treasure flowing on your sword. I believe he also thinks highly of you."

"Lingbao Tianzun..."

Ah Qing frowned and said, "But this sword was given to me by the Wheel of Reincarnation. Could it be that Lingbao Tianzun is also related to the Wheel of Reincarnation?"

"The origin of your reincarnation space is unpredictable, and I don't know the inside story, but it is definitely not something that Lingbao can evolve alone."

Tongtian Sect Master said calmly: "But the spiritual treasure has always protected humanity. If the true spirit is not extinguished, it will not forget its original intention."

"Okay then! It's settled!"

Ah Qing exhaled a breath and said with a smile: "Since I have taken this sword, all those messed up karma will be on my head."

"Don't make that expression. Being the leader of Jiejiao isn't a bad thing..."

"It's like your Taoist partner who adheres to the human way, but is not tolerated by the heavenly way of this world. Now that Hongjun cannot take action himself, he will most likely use some tricks to kill someone with a borrowed knife."

"Besides, I still have some powerful disciples. If you want to do something, they can help you to some extent."

Master Tongtian pondered and said, "Duobao, Jinling and the others will stay to practice the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation. Gongming, Yunxiao and the others will go with you. If you can catch all those villains in one fell swoop, you can have a slight advantage when the catastrophe comes."

"Okay then, it's a deal!"

Ah Qing was overjoyed: "Our Jie Sect is really powerful."

Leader Tongtian: "..."

***
Night falls, cold wind blows
"Grandpa Li, why are you still holding Da Huang's hand so late at night?"

A thin little girl was walking in the village with difficulty, holding a candlestick, her eyes shining.

"..."

The old yellow dog shook his tail and ate grass peacefully without even raising his head.

The old man herding cattle smiled at the little girl and wiped the pipe in his hand.

"Uncle Yu, are you still working so late?"

The little girl waved goodbye to the old cowherd and skipped into the blacksmith shop at the east end of the village.

The strong craftsman was hammering the farm tools one by one, and the flames burning in the cast iron stove instantly dispelled the cold.

"It's great that everyone is here."

The little girl held the candlestick and walked carefully to the fireplace. She felt her body warm and smiled comfortably.

"This is good, but it is ultimately just deceiving yourself."

A cold and compassionate sigh sounded behind the little girl: "Buddha, it's time to wake up."

"W-What did you say? No! How is that possible!"

The little girl turned around and looked at the beautiful black-robed girl in front of her in confusion: "Who are you? How did you get into the village?"

"My name is Aoxue, and this name was given to me by the Bodhisattva in the past."

"Although this village was created by obsession, it cannot escape from this world. I can see the suffering and happiness of the six realms of sentient beings, and I hope that all forms and colors in the world will be free of obstacles."

Ao Xue looked across the entire village and sighed, "I'm late."

"Late? Yes, you are late!"

Tears flowed from the little girl's eyes: "You...you are so powerful, why didn't you come earlier?"

"I tried my best."

Ao Xue sighed: "They didn't die because of me. If the Bodhisattva wants to do something, maybe he should try another method."

"What are you going to do now?"

"All sentient beings cannot be saved, and fixed karma cannot be changed. I am not a talented disciple, so I just want to do good things and not worry about the future."

Ao Xue stared at the candlestick in the girl's hand: "Buddha, you should wake up."

"..."

The little girl was silent for a long time, then gently blew out the candle in her hand.

The moment the candlelight went out, the blazing fire also went out, emitting a cold chill.

Thunder roared out in the silence, and the village that seemed like a paradise was now covered with a thick smell of blood.

From the beginning to the end of the village, there were mutilated corpses everywhere.

Although the bodies have decayed, one can still feel the villagers' fear, reluctance or anger before their death!
In the center of the village, the corpses of demons were piled up densely.

Jackals, tigers, leopards, mandrills, mole rats... or even ferocious beasts that only appeared in myths, all turned into corpses that looked exactly like the villagers.

Similarly, at the last moment of their lives, all the demons showed immense fear and doubt!

"These monsters ate many people. In the end, even though they couldn't eat any more, they still tied up the remaining people and killed them one by one."

"Grandpa Li died, Uncle Yu died, and everyone died one by one... When it was finally my turn, I suddenly couldn't remember anything."

"When I woke up again, it looked like this. Oh, you see, monsters can get scared too."

Blowing out the candle, the little girl's face was pale and her eyes were filled with fatigue. "It's none of your business. I failed to protect everyone."

"It's not your fault either."

Ao Xue reached out and touched the little girl's head: "For this obsession, you have been sleepless for so long, it's hard for you."

"Whose fault is that?"

The little girl let Ao Xue touch her head and asked softly.

"There is no right or wrong in this matter. Survival of the fittest is the law of the jungle that has been in place for billions of years."

A vague male voice sounded from afar: "Since humans can eat wild animals, why can't wild animals eat humans?"

The moment the voice sounded, a man's figure suddenly appeared in the void.

The man looked to be about 27 or 28 years old, with an ordinary appearance, and was wearing an inconspicuous Taoist robe.

But the man's eyes were extremely deep, filled with indescribable wisdom.

With these eyes, everything ordinary about the man is no longer ordinary.

If I had to describe it, it would be a kind of charm that is "unmoved by praise or criticism."

He is like the legendary Confucian saint, with only a bowl and a gourd, and a dignified and noble character.

"Maybe there is no right or wrong in the matter itself. But we are also ordinary people. How can we be so high and mighty?"

Ao Xue looked at the young Taoist priest and said, "Whether it is a demon or a fairy, they should follow their own path. That's all."

"What the Demon Lord said makes a lot of sense."

The young Taoist smiled and said, "If one day the dragon race relies on the law of the jungle to slaughter the human race, what will the Demon Lord do?"

"If the Buddha and the heavens cannot save you, only I, the devil, can."

Ao Xue looked calm: "Since you have the will to save the world, what does it matter if you wash the world with blood?"

"Since the Demon Lord has such thoughts, it is unnecessary for me to do this."

"At the end of the dynasty, the world was in chaos and demons were everywhere. Now the demons and the Western religion have joined forces to deal with... Lin Daojun, and the fate of humanity is in jeopardy."

The young Taoist bowed to Ao Xue and said, "My main body must guard the abyss of the East China Sea and must not leave lightly. Demon Lord, please be careful in this battle."

"The demon tribe and the Western religion... We should meet them."

Ao Xue pondered and said, "May I ask what your name is, brother?"

"I do have a few names in the universe..."

The young Taoist raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile: "This world is the place where the gods are sealed and the catastrophes are killed. The Demon Lord can call me 'Xuandu'."

"It turns out to be Emperor Lingguan, Senior Brother Xuandu."

Ao Xue showed a hint of joy: "Can I ask you a favor, Senior Brother?"

"In this life, since the Demon Lord and Junior Sister Cihang have made a master-disciple agreement, I have no intention of stopping them."

"But if the Demon Lord wants to go and join up with Lin Daojun, I can bring Junior Sister Cihang back to Bajing Palace, and you and your disciples can reunite in the future."

Master Xuandu looked at the confused little girl and smiled, "Junior Sister Cihang, do you still remember me? Do you want to visit the Bajing Palace?"

"I don't know you, but I don't think you're a bad person."

The little girl hesitated and said, "I can go to the Bajing Palace to wait for my elder sister, but I have to bury everyone first."

"Not a bad guy? Well, that's not bad. I'll do more work for you later."

Master Xuandu shrugged his shoulders and said, "Oh, right, when Master left, he said that the peacock was reincarnated as the Vermillion Bird, and is now the leader of all the monsters in the Wa Palace. Although that fellow Taoist is a divine beast, he may not be willing to obey the Wa Palace's agent. Since the Demon Lord has the evidence left by the peacock, he may stop by for a visit."

"...Thank you, Fellow Daoist Xuandu."

Ao Xue hesitated, then reached out and touched the little girl's head: "Originally I should have told you a lot of things, but I have something more important to do now. I will leave after I bury the villagers. You go back with this Senior Brother Xuandu first, and I will come to you after I finish my business, okay?"

"Something more important?"

The little girl thought for a moment and said, "Big sister, are you going to kill the evil monster?"

"That's right..."

"Okay, I'll wait for you."

The little girl smiled sweetly: "Sister, kill all the bad monsters. It doesn't matter if I wait a few more days."

"it is good."
