Chapter 143 Suzaku
In front of Zhang Xuanqing, there was a huge capsule machine page. As he consumed a lucky draw ticket for a mythical beast, a capsule was twisted out by him.

Immediately afterwards, the gashapon was activated and a prompt sound rang in his ears.

"Congratulations to the host for successfully gachaing! The divine beast cub [Suzaku] was opened!"

In front of Zhang Xuanqing, a red flame rose out of thin air, and the next second, a palm-sized Vermillion Bird cub flew out from the flame.

Looking at the little red bird in front of him, Zhang Xuanqing stretched out a hand, and the little red bird landed directly on Zhang Xuanqing's hand, as if it knew that he was its owner.

"Suzaku?"

Zhang Xuanqing looked at the vermilion red bird in front of him. At this moment, even he couldn't help but sigh that his luck was too good.

This is Suzaku!
Among the many mythical beasts in ancient times, if someone made a list of mythical beasts, Suzaku would be able to enter the top 10.

Zhuque is one of the four heavenly spirits in ancient Chinese mythology. It originated from the ancient star worship and is the god of the south representing Emperor Yan and the seven southern stars.

In the Eight Trigrams, it is Li, and in the Five Elements, it represents fire. It symbolizes the old yang among the Four Symbols, the summer among the four seasons, and is also the southern land of the sky.

The southern mythical beast, the Vermilion Bird, has the appearance of a bird.

The south is associated with fire, and totems of birds such as the Vermilion Bird often belong to sun worship in ancient mythology.

After the Han Dynasty, Taoism absorbed the Vermillion Bird as its guardian deity, calling him Lingguang God.

It is believed that the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird and Black Tortoise created the world together and are the masters of heaven and earth, maintaining the universe.

But there are also records that the Vermillion Bird's spirit rose to form the sky, and its essence descended to form the earth, and that the Vermillion Bird created the world alone.

Although the record that Suzaku created the world alone is indeed a bit exaggerated, it also indirectly highlights Suzaku's power.

The most important thing is that Suzaku has its own Suzaku Divine Fire, and the Suzaku Divine Fire is the nemesis of all demons.

Legend has it that in ancient times, not even the Zombie King dared to get close to the place where the Vermilion Bird lived. The great god Vermilion Bird patrolled the land, and his divine fire illuminated each area. Wherever it passed, all the demons and monsters were burned to death by the divine fire.

I think this is a successful one.

Zhang Xuanqing carefully looked at the Vermillion Bird on his palm. He found that the Vermillion Bird's divine fire was very weak, and it was obviously still in its infancy.

But it doesn't matter, just wait until you grow up.

Divine beasts are born from heaven and earth. They don’t even need to practice cultivation. They just need to eat and sleep every day. As long as they grow to a certain size, their own power will gradually emerge as they grow older.

Because these powers are originally hidden in their blood.

However, Zhang Xuanqing still had one question that he hadn't figured out, which was what should he feed the young Vermillion Bird?
This was the first time that Zhang Xuanqing had raised a divine beast. He had no experience with this before and didn't know how to raise it.

He directly asked the system what this Vermillion Bird eats? Could it be that it doesn't eat anything?
A moment later, the system replied a Suzaku recipe to Zhang Xuanqing.

After reading this, Zhang Xuanqing felt overwhelmed.

Because the divine beasts are indeed divine beasts. Although they are powerful, they are indeed not easy to raise.

You can tell just by looking at the menu that this Vermilion Bird is not only picky about its food, but the food it eats is also difficult to obtain.

Suzaku's Diet: Spiritual Fire of Heaven and Earth, Top-Grade Spiritual Stones, Demons, Ghosts, and Monsters...

None of them are easy to obtain.

The spiritual fire of heaven and earth is an extremely rare thing, not to mention on Blue Star, even in the world of immortal cultivation. It is hard to come by by chance. Where can Zhang Xuanqing get such a precious thing as the spiritual fire of heaven and earth to feed the Vermillion Bird?

So forget about the spiritual fire of heaven and earth.

As for the top-grade spirit stones, although Blue Star has them, they are not easy to get.

There is still a certain amount of stock on Mount Longhu, but not much, and the top-grade spirit stones have a wide range of uses. It would be a waste to just use them as feed for the Vermillion Bird.

After much thought, Zhang Xuanqing could only use demons and monsters to feed Suzaku.

Anyway, slaying demons and eliminating evil is his original job. Those evil spirits that fell into his hands were either collected by him in the Banner of Ten Thousand Souls or were reincarnated by him on the spot.

Now that we have Suzaku, we can consider feeding those monsters to Suzaku, which is also a good choice.

That’s it…

Zhang Xuanqing just figured out how to raise the Vermilion Bird.

The next second, Zhang Xuanqing heard a shrill siren sound.

At the same time, more than a dozen police cars stopped directly in front of the hotel.

After hearing the sirens, Zhang Xuanqing slowly stood up, walked to the hotel window and looked down.

From his perspective, dozens of police officers came out of the police car and entered the hotel where he was staying, including some fully armed criminal police officers.

Looking at this scene, you can tell that they are not here to check on the ward, nor are they just making a small fuss.

Zhang Xuanqing smiled.

He had already expected such a scene to happen. These official people were most likely here to arrest him.

However, Zhang Xuanqing did not avoid it on purpose. After all, if he wanted to avoid it on purpose, he would not have stayed in this hotel openly.

Why not avoid it? Because I’m not afraid!
A thief is afraid only when he feels guilty. If he is not a thief, what is there to be afraid of?

Zhang Xuanqing stayed in this hotel openly. Even though the police blocked the door, he did not panic.

A few minutes later, there was a knock on his door.

Outside the door, dozens of officials and criminal police were gathered.

These officials were sensible and knew that the person living here was a Heavenly Master. Even though they were armed, they did not break in the door by force but knocked politely.

Because they knew in their hearts that they carried weapons and equipment not to deal with the Heavenly Master, but to show off to outsiders.

After all, Tianshi had killed so many people in Huayuan Temple before, and even destroyed the entire Huayuan Temple.

It is impossible for them to pretend not to see it, otherwise how can they maintain their credibility?
So they must take action tonight to capture the Heavenly Master, but since it is a capture operation, it cannot be made too fake.

The destruction of the entire Huayuan Temple involved too many serious issues, so the authorities could not just send a few ordinary policemen to take statements back, so more than a dozen police cars and real weapons and equipment were dispatched.

This is to express to the outside world that the authorities attach great importance to this matter and have come to arrest people.

But after actually entering the hotel, they were still very polite and knocked politely on the master's door.

The team leader gave orders in advance that no one could act recklessly without his orders, and must not have any conflict with the Heavenly Master and Taoist priests of Mount Longhu.

After all, if a real fight breaks out, they really won't be able to win, so don't make trouble for yourself.

Zhang Xuanqing heard a knock on the door, he slowly walked to the door and opened it.

After opening the door, I saw a group of officials standing outside.

The leading officer captain showed his official credentials to the Heavenly Master and saluted him.

He said, "Tianshi, I'm from the Tianhua City Criminal Police Bureau. We've received a report that you are involved in a Fa Temple massacre, so please cooperate with us and go back to accept the investigation. Thank you."

It was the first time that the captain of the police force was so polite when arresting someone.

Seeing him show his ID to prove his identity, Zhang Xuanqing did not resist too much.

Because he knew he still had to give face to the authorities.

After all, Longhu Mountain is within the territory of Longguo, so we must not make things too awkward with the authorities. We must give face where it’s due.

Since the other party wants to take me back to talk, then let's talk. Zhang Xuanqing said: "Blessings and Infinite Heavenly Venerable, no problem, do I need to prepare anything? Or should I just go with you?"

Zhang Xuanqing cooperated so well that all the officers were stunned for a moment.

The captain of the police officers didn't expect this. He originally thought that capturing the Heavenly Master was a tough job and that the Heavenly Master would not go with them so easily. However, he never expected that the Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master had no intention of resisting at all.

Very cooperative.

The master was willing to go with them. At this time, a young detective came over and took out the handcuffs from his waist.

The next second, he was stopped by the captain.

"Hey hey hey!!"

"What are you doing? Take it back. You don't need to wear it. Who told you to take it out? Do you understand?"

The captain of the police force was sweating profusely as he looked at this ignorant young detective.

I don't know who recruited this guy, but he's so brave, right?

Who gave you the courage to handcuff the Heavenly Master? Let’s not talk about whether this thing can handcuff the Heavenly Master. I guess in the eyes of the Heavenly Master, it is just like a piece of tofu.

Secondly, can you just torture the identity of Dragon and Tiger Heavenly Master as you wish?
The Heavenly Master of Mount Longhu who passed down the tradition more than 2000 years ago, if you don’t give him face today, he will not give you face in the underworld after you die.

The captain of the police force directly told the young detective to put away the handcuffs immediately, saying that they were not suitable for the Taoist priest to wear.

Then he quickly explained to Zhang Xuanqing.

My subordinates are ignorant, I hope the master can forgive me.

Seeing that this captain of the police was very good at dealing with people, Zhang Xuanqing patted him on the shoulder.

Okay, okay, no wonder you can be the captain, you really understand the ways of the world.

Zhang Xuanqing did not make things difficult for these grassroots workers. He knew that they were only following orders and that this was indeed the general trend. Since he had caused such a big fuss, they had no choice but to arrest him.

Then, Zhang Xuanqing, led by this group of criminal police, walked directly out of the hotel.

When this group of police entered the hotel, Taoist Master Xuanming and his companions also heard the sound of sirens. They came out to check and saw that the police officers had knocked on Tianshi's door, hoping that Tianshi would go back with them to cooperate with the investigation. Taoist Master Xuanming knew that the situation was not good and the authorities had come to arrest people!
Seeing the worried expressions of Taoist Xuanming and others, Zhang Xuanqing stopped and gave them a few instructions.

Zhang Xuanqing directly told them to go back to Longhu Mountain by themselves and not to worry about him.

Taoist Master Xuanming also understood that they had to give face to the authorities, and it was impossible for them from Longhu Mountain to mess with the authorities.

Therefore, Tianshi must go on this trip, not only for the official face, but also to maintain the order of Dragon Country. At least this matter must be handled in an apparent way.

Faced with the Heavenly Master's orders, Taoist Xuanming can only obey.

Because they knew that even if they stayed in Tianhua City, they would not be of any help to Tianshi, and staying here would just be a waste of time. It would be better for them to return to Longhu Mountain to take charge of the overall situation.

The Taoist master has profound Taoist skills. If he really wants to escape, no one can stop him.

Secondly, the authorities are aware of the situation and will not make things too difficult for the Heavenly Master.

Taoist Priest Xuanming did not say much and watched Zhang Xuanqing being taken away by the officials.

Zhang Xuanqing was asked to get into the police car and taken directly back to the Tianhua City Bureau.

……

Inside the Municipal Police Station, in the interrogation room,

Zhang Xuanqing was invited in. If a normal suspect was invited into this room, the police would usually exert psychological pressure in order to pry words out of the suspect.

For example, turn off all the lights in the room and leave only one light on, shining it on the suspect.

Psychologically speaking, the pressure exerted in this kind of environment is greater, and it is easier to pry words out.

But this method doesn't work for the Heavenly Master.

Because I was in the same room with the Taoist priest and turned off all the lights except for one.

I don’t know whether Tianshi felt any psychological pressure, but the official personnel in charge of the interrogation felt under a lot of psychological pressure.

After capturing the Heavenly Master, they could only discuss this issue with him.

Even ordinary officials were not qualified to interrogate the Heavenly Master. All those present this time were leaders.

These leaders sat opposite the Heavenly Master and asked questions about Huayuan Temple.

"Tianshi, you handled the matter of Huayuan Temple too impulsively. It really makes it difficult for us to do it..."

The leaders of Tianhua City looked embarrassed.

They don't want to offend Longhu Mountain because of the recent revival of weirdness and the emergence of demons and monsters.

Even the top leaders of the Dragon Kingdom placed their hopes on Longhu Mountain and dared not offend it easily.

After all, everyone is counting on the Heavenly Master and the Taoist priests on Mount Longhu to slay demons and eliminate evil.

But this time, what Tianshi did in Tianhua City was indeed a bit excessive and caused a big commotion. He demolished the entire Huayuan Temple and killed everyone.

It is impossible for the authorities to ignore such things happening in public and in full view of everyone, otherwise order will be disrupted.

These leaders sat in front of the Heavenly Master and they also felt overwhelmed.

After this incident happened, they have been holding meetings to discuss the matter, but have not yet reached a conclusion and don't know how to deal with it.

At this moment, this group of leaders were also pouring out their grievances to the Heavenly Master.

The public must be given an explanation for this matter, but it is difficult to figure out how to do it.

Zhang Xuanqing looked at these leaders and he also knew their difficulties.

He said: "The destruction of Huayuan Temple has little to do with me. You have found the wrong person. If you really want to arrest someone, you should arrest the dragon that destroyed their Dharma Temple."

Zhang Xuanqing cleared himself of all charges with just one sentence.

It also pointed out a clear path for this group of official personnel.

Zhang Xuanqing told them directly that they could use this to communicate with foreign countries later.

Anyway, it was indeed that dragon that destroyed Huayuan Temple.

The leaders sitting in front of Zhang Xuanqing's eyes lit up when they heard this.

This is indeed a solution.

But it can't solve all problems.

Because although the monks in Huayuan Temple were apparently killed by the dragon, those who were not stupid basically knew that the matter was related to the Heavenly Master.

It was you who resurrected that dragon, and you say it has nothing to do with you?
This is still a bit far-fetched.

So if you want to give an explanation to the outside world, these words alone are not enough.

These leaders then proposed a solution.

"Master, how about you cooperate and stay in here for three days as a token of your appreciation?"
