Chapter 1342 Shattering the Evil Thoughts
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother has been in charge of the affairs of the sect for many years. Even the fairies who are ignorant of the world have become enlightened. She understands "human affairs" and secretly curses the greed of the bald Buddhist monks.

She knew that giving some bribes now would save a lot of money compared to negotiating with other sects. The Buddhist sect allowed the Sun and Moon Pearl to wander around in their territory without taking it, most likely to give face to the Jie Sect. She suppressed her discomfort and with a thought, a small Qiankun bag automatically fell into Queen Jiang's hands.

"You go and negotiate."

"Yes, the disciple obeys."

Seeing their actions, Turtle Spirit Mother suddenly realized that they wanted money! Why don't you explain it clearly?
She was very embarrassed: "Senior sister, nephew, I still have some savings, use mine, use mine!"

This was originally her business. After a few excuses, Jin Ling took back her Qiankun bag. The Jiejiao sect was almost out of food, and Gui Ling was willing to pay out of her own pocket, which was a good thing for her as the sect leader.

After receiving the personnel information, Kasyapa weighed it, scanned the Qiankun bag twice with his divine eyes, and expressed his satisfaction. His Dharma image returned to Lingshan, and the two Arhats, Subduing the Dragon and Subduing the Tiger, also returned with a group of monks to continue chanting scriptures. Jiuyuan Temple regained its previous solemnity and majesty.

"Let's go, they won't stop us anymore." Queen Jiang motioned the two Saint Mothers to follow her. She roughly knew the movement trajectory of the Sun and Moon Pearls. As the Moon Goddess, she could quickly search the stars after obtaining permission from Buddhism. This was her function as a Star Goddess, but she had been suppressed by Buddhism before. Now she had spent money to buy back a temporary right of use.

"Your Excellency, the three hundred and sixty-five main star gods and fourteen thousand eight hundred secondary star gods have all arrived. They are waiting outside the palace for your summons."

The tall celestial general reported very respectfully.

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother was stunned. She found herself wearing Dou Mu Yuanjun's official robe again. The environment before her was not the extremely simple Taoist palace in the Biyou Palace, but a magnificent and majestic palace.

She sat in the main seat, with Dou Mu Yuanjun's officials on both sides, all dressed in gorgeous clothes. All the immortals lowered their heads, waiting for her orders.

She hated this palace, hated it to the extreme, it was her prison.

"This Lord." Her voice was a little hoarse, and the reality and illusion in her memories kept clashing. The scene of leaving the Heaven and returning to Jiejiao was like a dream, and now it seemed so unreal.

A voice kept whispering to her, "You're returning to Jiejiao? What a joke! You've been serving as Dou Mu Yuanjun in the Heavenly Palace, such an honorable position. Why aren't you happy?"

Yes, I have already been on the Investiture of the Gods, so how could I dream of Jiejiao again, and even return to Jiejiao? I am really daydreaming, everything is false.

She sat in the main seat like a wooden sculpture. The many star gods below came to pay their respects one by one and reported the major and minor events that had happened to the stars under their management in the past week. She said a few words in a programmed manner, and then it was time for the next star god.

The Turtle Spirit Holy Mother kept recalling her "sweet dream" in her mind. In the dream, she really returned to the Jiejiao Sect, read a Taoist scripture every morning, started practicing at noon, and when she was bored, she indulged herself in the mountains and rivers. When she was happy, she would have a feast, sing and dance with one or two good friends. That was a very free and easy time.

She recalled many familiar yet slightly unfamiliar faces. Although there was no longer the grand scene of thousands of immortals coming to pay homage to the Jiejiao in her dream, several core disciples were still there. Compared with before, the Jiejiao in her dream was not so noisy, which made the Turtle Spirit Mother feel a lot more comfortable.

The dream flashed through her mind, all mundane. Suddenly, one day, the Golden Spirit Mother came to have a heartfelt conversation with her, going around in circles several times before she finally understood. It turned out her teacher had accepted a new disciple, one who had taken the spot she had longed for among the four great outer disciples. The Turtle Spirit Mother gave a wry smile. Her own true spirit had been broken after being named one of the four great outer disciples. Even in her dreams, she didn't dare to argue, feigning indifference to show she didn't mind.

The scene in the dream soon turned to the scene of the new disciples' induction. She saw the little girl named Kong Xiao. It must be said that her talent was really high, and she had a spiritual aura that was much stronger than herself. The little girl looked honest, but in fact her eyes were always looking around. Gui Ling didn't care and stood there like a wooden man. The little girl smiled at her friendly, but she didn't make any response.

She avoided Kong Xiao's gaze and accidentally looked behind the little girl, and happened to meet Deng Chanyu's eyes.

What kind of eyes were those? They saw through everything, mastering the myriad ways of the world, completely comprehending the myriad transformations of the Three Realms. Their gaze pierced through time and space, separating illusion and reality, rapidly leaping between existence and non-existence, finally resting on her.

"Lao Luo, you are naughty again."

With a loud "boom", the world in front of the turtle spirit collapsed instantly, and the consciousness that was about to fall into the bottomless abyss quickly returned to the body.

"Junior sister? Wake up?"

"Master, what's wrong with you? Master, can you hear me?"

The voices of the Golden Spirit Mother and Queen Jiang reached her ears. The Turtle Spirit Mother was in a trance for a moment. Her previous memories were disappearing quickly. She was very confused. What happened to her?
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother said angrily, "Junior Sister, you must have experienced great joy and sorrow recently, and your mood has fluctuated so much that the inner demon has taken advantage of you. Return to the Green Travel Palace and go to the Lingtai Hall to copy scriptures. Do not leave without my order."

You've been possessed by a demon right in front of me. Is your state of mind, which you've cultivated for a million years, so unbearable?

The Golden Spirit Holy Mother did not give the Turtle Spirit Holy Mother any face at all, and Turtle Spirit was embarrassed to the extreme. She was now in a body that had been possessed by another person, and the degree of compatibility in all aspects was ultimately not as good as her original body. Her state of mind was like tofu dregs, which would break if poked. In addition, she had been in a good mood during this period, and had indeed relaxed her guard against the inner demons.

She had nothing to say and honestly admitted her mistake and accepted the punishment.

Queen Jiang was feeling extremely guilty. It was obvious to Holy Mother Turtle Spirit that she was affected by the two evil thoughts in her soul. However, this uncle-master seemed to have some magic weapon on him, and the evil thoughts were directly shattered by some power. Not only did she wake up quickly, but she was also temporarily free from the harassment of the evil thoughts.

She tried to smooth things over, and Jin Ling didn't want to embarrass her junior sister in front of her disciples, so the matter was just let go.

Jin Ling was secretly calculating in a place where the two people were not noticing.

As the headmaster, she could vaguely sense the shift in her sect's fortune. In the previous moment, Jiejiao's fortune had shifted slightly, then rose ever so slightly. The Golden Spirit Mother was a little excited. Jiejiao's fortune had been declining, so what did this rebound indicate? It meant that things would eventually reverse, that Jiejiao had passed its low point, and that the entire sect's fortune was beginning to recover.
