The disaster of the world begins with Dongfang Bubai

Chapter 42: Monk, you really are worthy of being a monk!

A month later.

Outside Jinguan City, among the mountains.

Xi Mingzhang, dressed in snow-white clothes, strolled slowly and steadily. He saw towering ancient trees around him and magical beasts and birds leaping and flying among the leaves, making the forest full of life.

When he saw the high and low waterfalls cascading down, he suddenly jumped up and came to the huge rock at the top of the waterfall.

At this moment, his eyes suddenly opened up and what came into view was a lush ancient forest, with several surrounding mountains on either side and a vast wilderness of forests extending to the horizon.

Xi Mingzhang walked down the slippery rock and entered the ancient forest. He ignored the towering ancient trees, magical beasts and rare birds around him. He only saw his figure being illusory and uncertain, running fast in the lush forest as if he could shrink the distance into an inch.

Soon, we arrived deep in the dense forest and saw a small stone house standing in an open space with a winding path next to it.

Xi Mingzhang walked calmly along the winding path, and when he reached the end, he came to a quiet valley.

There was a clear stream in the valley, and beside the stream were sparse trees, among which were several small stone houses.

At this time, a girl of about seventeen or eighteen years old walked out of a small stone house.

She was wearing a double-breasted, round-necked, blue printed dress. She had a pure and otherworldly temperament, and an elegant figure. She also had a beautiful face, as pretty as an angel.

"Youlin Cottage is really hard to find. I wandered outside Jinguan City for more than half a month before I found it among the mountains. It turns out to be on the west bank of Sun River at the eastern foot of Phoenix Mountain in the north."

Xi Mingzhang put his palms together in front of his chest and said:

"I am Wuchang, if we talk about relationship, you should call me Senior Brother, but I think you won't agree, so just call me Monk directly."

The girl's voice is clear and sweet:

"Monk, from your tone, you seem to know me well. My mother's disciples are all women, so..."

She paused softly and continued:

"Qingxuan only has a mother and never a father, so, according to what you said, I should really call you a monk!"

Xi Mingzhang chuckled:
"The Demon Sect's Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian once gave the Demon Sect's most precious treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relic, to the world's number one craftsman Lu Miaozi, who then hid it in Yang Gong's treasure house."

"Bi Xiuxin and Lu Miaozi are close friends. Because she is feared by the people in the Demon Sect, Lu Miaozi also claimed that he would give the Demon Sect's most precious treasure, the Evil Emperor's Relic, to Bi Xiuxin."

"This has led to the fact that Xiang Yutian's four disciples, You Niaojuan, Ding Jiuzhong, Zhou Laotan, and Jin Huanzhen, have been trying to seize the evil emperor's relic from Bi Xiuxin for many years."

"Now that Bi Xiuxin has passed away, and you are her daughter, these four people will definitely set their sights on you. Miss Shi, can you help me lead them out?"

Shi Qingxuan was surprised when she heard this:

"Monk, I just thought you were here to look for the Immortal Seal, and was wondering whether I should give it to you."

"After all, only that person knows the location of my little building, and you and he are a master and disciple, so you probably came here for this seal."

"I forgot to say that I am just an abandoned disciple, so the martial arts should be left to his true successor." Xi Mingzhang said with a faint smile.

"I don't believe it. This is the unrivaled martial arts that the evil king used to dominate the world." Shi Qingxuan smiled sweetly:
"Monk, you really don't want it?"

Xi Mingzhang's expression remained calm:
"In my opinion, the Immortal Seal is not as good as the Dao Heart Demon Cultivation Method, so I ask Miss Shi to lead Xiang Yutian's disciples out. Now the four of them are all descendants of the Demon Sect, and their whereabouts are mysterious, so I really don't want to run around looking for them."

Shi Qingxuan raised her eyebrows slightly:
"Monk, do you know that although this 'Dao Xin Cultivating Demons' Great Method' is the highest secret method of the Demon Sect, no one knows its true situation. We only know that throughout the ages, even though there have been many talented people in the Demon Sect, no one has ever been able to cultivate it, and in the end, they all ended up being burned by the devil's fire." "Also, this secret method is better than the 'Heavenly Demon Method' of the Yingui Sect, but in the process of practicing, the practitioner's personality and temperament will change, from a demon to a Taoist. Even the Evil Emperor Xiang Yutian failed at the last moment and was burned by the devil's fire."

Xi Mingzhang shook his head and laughed:
"Most of this was told to you by Lu Miaozi. When did the evil sects become so trustworthy? It would be great if all the righteous sects were as simple as you."

Shi Qingxuan glared at him:
"Monks are always compassionate and won't say bad things to hurt others, but Qingxuan feels that you are being too rude, as if you are indirectly calling me stupid."

"I am a layman and don't understand what Miss Shi is saying." Xi Mingzhang said without changing his expression.

"Then how do you know that You Niaojuan and the other three have the "Dao Xin Cultivating Demons Great Method"? Back then, Xiang Yutian told them the secret method of how to practice with the evil emperor's relics, and also told Zhu Yuyan of the Yingui Sect, but he didn't mention the Supreme Method of the Demon Sect."

When Xi Mingzhang heard what Shi Qingxuan said, he said:
"Xiang Yutian doesn't want his descendants to practice this martial art, which can cause a drastic change in one's character at best and burn one's body in the devil's fire, leaving no trace of one's body, but he also has to obey the master's order and continue to pass it on."

"So, he deliberately accepted four heartless and selfish disciples, and made them fight for the "Dao Heart Planting Demon Method" so that they could not go out and do evil. He also used the evil emperor's relics as a backup to keep them hanging."

He paused:
"Almost all the puzzles that need to be solved have been solved. I wonder if Miss Shi is willing to lead these four people out for me?"

"Qingxuan is exactly what I want. It would be great if someone could help me get rid of the evil people who keep pestering me. Let's set off immediately to a place where we can lead them out."

"Aren't you afraid that I am also a bad guy who wants to harm you?"

Shi Qingxuan glanced at it with interest and said:
"The monk is proud and arrogant, and has the air of a master. He should not embarrass a weak woman like Qingxuan."

"As long as Miss Shi doesn't embarrass me, I'll be safe." Xi Mingzhang reminded with a smile:
"Although she is a beautiful woman, few people can see through the beauty of appearance. Before going out, please cover your face, Miss Shi."

"If I attract unnecessary trouble because of my appearance, I will just stand by and watch."

He spoke as a matter of course:
"Who asked you to help me lure You Niaojuan and the other three here? I'll help you get rid of them, so we're even now."

After hearing this, Shi Qingxuan was silent for a while and said:

"Monk, you really are worthy of being a monk!"

After saying that, she turned and went into the house. Not long after, a girl came out, giving a completely different feeling from the one she had just given.

That flawless face had a disproportionately high nose with a bad joint, which was so unbearable to look at. In addition, her skin became rough and dark, and she naturally became a very ugly woman.

"It seems that Lu Miaozi loves you very much. He not only taught you the exquisite mechanical skills, but also taught you the art of disguise."

"Since you have packed your luggage, let's go." Xi Mingzhang paused for an inexplicable moment, then said:

"Is there no need to bring the jade flute? Even if you are a master of flute art, I don't think anyone would be in the mood to listen to your ugly face."

Shi Qingxuan was no longer as cold and aloof as before, and asked back in a somewhat depressed tone:

"Can't I just play it for myself?"

"As long as Miss Shi is happy, I just hope you won't lose your ambition because of playing with things."

"Are all monks as long-winded as you?"

"They all complained a lot, but they didn't dare to complain to me because they would die if they were human."
