Chapter 1340 The Demon in Queen Jiang’s Heart
Queen Jiang entertained the Golden Spirit Mother and the Turtle Spirit Mother with all her heart and effort, and had already given out everything she could. Even so, she expressed her deep trepidation several times for her poor hospitality and hoped that the two masters would understand.

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother saw that there seemed to be something wrong in Queen Jiang's expression, but she couldn't see anything more. She sighed secretly, thinking that this was the sequelae of saving Gui Ling but not saving her disciples.

She did not regret her original choice, but as a teacher, she was filled with shame and felt guilty for not living up to her students' trust.

Little did she know that at this moment there were two men's voices in Queen Jiang's soul. She suppressed them with great difficulty and endured it with great difficulty.

"Mother, your teacher only remembers Junior Sister Gui Ling. Has she ever thought of you? They have been in the temple for so long, but have they ever asked if you are happy on the Moon Star?"

"Yes, mother, you are too kind. Everyone bullies you and thinks you are weak. Listen to your son's advice and kill them all now! If you are afraid of getting your hands dirty, we brothers will help you kill them!"

Queen Jiang roared in her soul: "Shut up! Shut up right there! You are all evil thoughts, not my sons! My son and the Demon Buddha were suppressed by the Saint Zhunti. You are not my sons at all!"

"Haha, Mother, I am Yin Jiao. How can I not be your son? When I was five years old, I fell down in your bedroom. You were terrified at that time. Do you remember?"

"Brother is right, mother, we are mother and son. I am Yin Hong. Can't you even recognize my voice?"

The two men's voices were arrogant at first, but as they spoke, they turned into pleading, expressing their regret for what they had done in the past and hoping that their mother would save them from suffering.

Queen Jiang's heart was almost broken. She didn't know where these two inner demons came from. After entering the Heavenly Palace for so many years, she had been staying at the gate of Taiyin Star and never going out, just because she didn't want to give the inner demons any chance. She didn't expect that the Golden Spirit Mother and the Turtle Spirit Mother would suddenly come to her today, and she was not prepared at all.

For Queen Jiang to become the Empress of a nation, her intelligence must be quite high. By absorbing a large amount of incense power, her speech and behavior would inadvertently become closer to her divine duties, until she completely stopped paying attention to her past and became a true incense deity.

She has not reached that level yet, and is not qualified to act like a god in front of the Golden Spirit Holy Mother and the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother.

However, in order to suppress the evil thoughts in her soul, she pretended to be polite but a little distant.

This made the Golden Spirit Holy Mother feel even more guilty.

After Queen Jiang struggled to hold out for half an hour in the small talk among the three, they finally got down to business.

"Sun and Moon Pearl?" Only then did she understand the purpose of the two teachers.

The evil thoughts harassed me for a while, then quietly disappeared.

Queen Jiang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She thought for a moment and then said respectfully, "Teacher, Uncle Master, there is indeed something on the Moon Star that emits an extremely yin energy on the fifteenth day of the eighth month of each year. I wonder if it is Uncle Master's Sun and Moon Pearl."

Back when she was in Jiejiao, her relationship with Gui Ling was ordinary. Gui Ling would never say to her, "Come here, nephew, I will show you a big treasure!"

Queen Jiang had never seen the Sun and Moon Pearls. Not only was the Moon Star extremely huge, but there was also the influence of Buddhism here. She was able to instantly think of the anomaly on August 15th and connect it to the Sun and Moon Pearls, which was a manifestation of her great intelligence.

Gui Ling asked, "Is the light on August 15th a silvery-white light like a streak of silk? There's a hint of gold in the white light, and it lasts for a quarter of an hour each time?"

"Exactly."

Gui Ling was overjoyed, believing that the magic weapon left on the Taiyin Star must be his Sun and Moon Pearl.

She gave the Golden Spirit Mother an affirmative look. The Golden Spirit asked Queen Jiang, "That must be your uncle's magic weapon. Do you know where it is now?" Queen Jiang hesitated and said, "My disciple rarely goes out. The orb usually appears to the west of the Moon."

She still didn't want to leave the Taiyin Temple. Here, the Taiyin Star Lord's divine position could effectively suppress evil thoughts. She was not sure if she could suppress them after leaving this door.

But Jin Ling and Gui Ling were both looking at her, so she really had no reason not to go at this time.

"Disciple leads the way for Master and Uncle."

She took the two of them out of the Taiyin Palace and rode a cloud to the west of Taiyin Star.

"Brother, we haven't been out for a long time."

"Yes, big brother, mother always thinks we are children and is afraid that we might get hurt, so she keeps us locked up at home and doesn't let us see outsiders."

"Brother, look over there, there are so many pagodas! Are those bald donkeys here too?"

The evil thoughts that were very similar to Yin Hong's were silent. It was because the Buddha's light along the way was too strong, which had a suppressive effect on them.

Queen Jiang was overjoyed when she found out that they were afraid of Buddhism. She said, "If I had known you were such weaklings, I wouldn't have been suffering in the Taiyin Palace."

Her expression inadvertently brightened a bit, and the Golden Spirit Holy Mother was quite pleased, thinking that it was her sincerity that resolved the barriers in her disciple's heart.

They rode on the clouds and sped across the Moon. Along the way, they saw some scattered monasteries and pagodas. They could not be compared with the prosperous human world and heaven, but compared with the past, the Moon now had some breath of life.

More than 30 million miles away from Queen Jiang's palace, the three of them descended from the clouds.

Queen Jiang walked towards a temple with a plaque that read "Jiuyuan Temple".

"Jiang Yuan pays respect to His Excellency. I wonder which His Excellency is on duty today. I would like to ask His Excellency to descend in his Dharma form. I have something important to discuss with you."

The image of Mahakasyapa soon appeared in front of the temple.

Queen Jiang secretly said in her heart that this "honest" venerable was the most difficult to deal with, but also the easiest to deal with. In the current environment, she really didn't want to see Kashyapa.

Buddhist disciples are different from Xuanmen disciples.

Xuanmen means that the master leads the apprentice, and they prosper together and suffer together. Daoxing Tianzun became a demon, Wei Hu automatically left the Chanjiao, Wenshu Guangfa Tianzun became Wenshu Bodhisattva, and Jinzha also followed him into Buddhism. The master is the greatest, and the interests of the sect should be ranked after the master. After Xuanmen became the Taoist sect, there were some improvements.

Buddhism is another way. The master here is there to teach the Dharma and answer questions. If all disciples have to find a loyal object, it can only be the Buddha, not the master.

When the ten great disciples, including Sariputra, Mahakasyapa and Ananda, sat down to listen to the teachings of Moonlight Tathagata, it was like Moonlight Tathagata bringing a few graduate students and doctoral students. They were not so dependent on human bodies, and they were not child disciples. If Moonlight escaped one day, they would not be affected too much.

Mahakasyapa clasped his hands together and bowed, "So it is the Star Lord who has arrived. I beg your forgiveness for not being able to greet you from afar. Star Lord, you are not at your own residence, enjoying the worship of the people, but have come to this remote place like this. What could possibly bring you here?"
