Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

"If this causes conflict between the Black Car Kingdom and the monks, are we doing evil or good?"

Chu Wuzhi also breathed a sigh of relief. Although a small accident had occurred, it did not cause too much impact and should not alarm the Scorpion Demon.

He whispered to the Fox Goddess:

"Were those men in the garrison just now under the control of an illusion? Why were they so devotedly loyal to those half-human, half-ghost women?"

The Fox Goddess shook her head and said in amazement:

"I just checked. Those men weren't under any illusion. They were all willing. They're just mentally unstable. Most of them are deceiving themselves, convincing themselves that the thing before them is a beauty and they're willing to give everything for it!"

Chu Wuji found it hard to imagine, and even harder to understand, so he had to ask the local people in the Western Regions.

He looked at Guanyin and Nan Hongsha and asked pretentiously:

"You two, I saw through the true colors of those guardsmen at a glance. They clearly weren't under any illusion, so why would they be protecting those inhuman, inhuman creatures?"

Nan Hongsha was just chatting with Guanyin, and exclaimed, "After so many years as a bodyguard, this is the first time I'm working with outsiders, and I still feel so safe." Unexpectedly, Chu Wuji asked about the Hei Che Kingdom Guard.

Nan Hongsha shook her head, unable to figure out the reason. She also looked at Guanyin, wanting to get an answer from the young lady.

Miss Guanyin thought for a moment, recalling what her companions had previously discussed about the Black Car Country, and guessed:

"Perhaps they've been deceived so deeply and invested so much money before that they can't accept reality...

Are you paralyzing yourself by imagining yourself as a deeply devoted person who pursues true love even when others don't understand you? "

If you want to become a beauty follower in the Black Car Country, the procedures are quite complicated.

First, you have to spend money to send gifts and write letters. This process requires a lot of money and energy. It is not enough to send one or two gifts, but you have to do it over time.

After gaining initial recognition, he had to come to the Black Car Kingdom to serve as a soldier and become a garrison officer. Three years later, he was promoted to a member of the "Beauty's Personal Guard."

Whether you can really win her heart is another matter.

It is equivalent to relying on beauty to attract young labor from outside.

In the early years, the Black Car Kingdom was able to pull off this trick because there were so many beautiful women that just a few of them would become famous in the Western Regions and would attract many admirers as soon as they appeared.

The steps mentioned above are the standard procedures for admirers to get in touch with beauties. The beauties back then were indeed so beautiful that they were willing to be the scapegoats.

I don’t know why it became what it is now. It seems that after the incident with the Scorpion Spirit, the Black Car Kingdom gradually changed.

In short, it is basically difficult for admirers who can pass the layers of "giving" to accept the fact that they have been deceived. They have to admit it even after brainwashing themselves, and they will go crazy and bite anyone who says something unpleasant.

After listening to Guanyin's analysis, the group fell into silence.

Especially those escorts who used to love discussing the beauties in the black car country, now felt a chill.

Wardfa raised his head 45 degrees, trying not to let the tears fall. He sighed in regret, then suddenly realized:

"The meat soup is still the best!!"

Ahead, the terrain of the yellow sand land has changed, with jagged rocks, towering and rugged terrain. It is probably Tinglei Ridge.

Chu Wuji looked at Guanyin and couldn't help asking:

"Miss Guanyin, the Tinglei Ridge should be ahead. Tell me something, your escorts are not simple. Could you please introduce yourselves again?

At least tell me what trump cards you have prepared for the Scorpion Demon, so that everyone knows the answer."

Chapter 146: Holy Water Saint White Peacock

Just looking at the fire curtain that popped out from Guanyin's fingertips just now, and the fact that she dared to chase the Scorpion Demon without being afraid of the other party's demon identity, Chu Wuji guessed that the strength of this blonde girl was stronger than he imagined.

Then the things that the Scorpion Demon snatched from her were most likely magical treasures. Don’t let the Scorpion Demon take Guanyin’s treasure and make him suffer.

Considering the situation of the Western Region monastic sects that I had heard about before, this group of people is probably a monastic force disguised as an escort agency?

The blonde girl closed her eyes, thought for a moment, and quickly made a decision. She nodded and said:

"That's right. Hiding some information can easily lead to unnecessary complications..."

The force to which this group of escorts belonged was formerly a monastic force in the Western Regions, the Water and Fire Sect.

However, the Shuihuo Sect is quite special. It is not a sect in the traditional sense, but more like an academy. It advocates spreading the power that transcends martial arts widely, and does not advocate finding a master to establish a sect. Everything is put in the scriptures, and you have to read it yourself if you want to learn.

The people of the Water and Fire Sect, on the other hand, are like generous teachers who travel around the world. They are against accepting disciples and spread their skills and scriptures wherever they go.

If one specifically recruits disciples and establishes a sect, conflicts between factions may arise, and one side may no longer allow ordinary people to have access to these forces in order to consolidate its power.

As a result, a saintly lady of extraordinary talent, White Peacock, within the Water and Fire Sect, took the lead in establishing her own sect and even made it the state religion of a country in the Western Regions, changing it to the Sun and Moon National Water Sect. She became the national teacher, and this triggered a split in the Water and Fire Sect.

This happened more than ten years ago. The "Holy Fire" faction, to which Guanyin currently belongs, was the original wandering preaching faction, which established itself as a security agency.

The sacred object "Holy Fire Pearl" is the greatest foundation, containing scriptures of skills and can also be used as a powerful magic weapon.

Miss Guanyin could only sigh at the past of her parents and said:

"The Holy Fire Pearl can quickly heal serious injuries, dispel poisons and exorcise curses. Its holy flame is said to belong to the primordial fire between heaven and earth, similar to the Haoran Divine Thunder practiced by the Shenxiao Sect..."

Chu Wuji began to understand why the Scorpion Demon wanted to steal the Holy Fire Pearl. He asked:

"The Scorpion Demon is afraid of being struck to death by the lightning tribulation, so he wants to use the Holy Fire Pearl as a life-saving trump card? Or even as a way to resist the power of the lightning tribulation?"

"Most likely." The blonde nodded, feeling a little depressed.

Having just recalled the events that happened to the Water and Fire Sect, these Western Region escorts looked gloomy and the atmosphere was silent.

Nan Hongsha was unwilling to accept this and said angrily:

"With your talent, if you were born a few years earlier and had more time to cultivate, you would most likely have successfully become the Holy Maiden of the Water and Fire Sect. How could there be a White Peacock, the former Holy Maiden?"

Wardfa was a wandering orphan back then. He received the kindness of the Water and Fire Sect and, under the guidance of Master Yunyou, he mastered some power beyond martial arts, which enabled him to make a living.

His current loyalty to the "Black Holy Flame" Escort Agency is based on this fate.

"Without the selfless salvation of the Water and Fire Sect, I, Wardfa, would have long since become a corpse in the desert. The old Saintess Bai Kongque took the skills she learned for herself. Pah!"

The Western Region escort became more and more excited as he cursed, and even cursed the Scorpion Demon:

"The same thing goes for this Scorpion Demon. If you have the ability to steal the Holy Fire Pearl, why don't you steal the White Peacock's Divine Water Pearl?"

Miss Guanyin didn't want to keep cursing all the way. Once she got emotional, it would be difficult for her to remain calm, and she might be chased away by the Scorpion Demon again.

She silenced everyone's indignation, "What's past is past. There's no point in saying more. Let's focus on dealing with the Scorpion Demon first! We must recapture the Sacred Fire Pearl. We can't let it slip again!"

The escorts from the Western Regions had bad tempers, but they all listened to Miss Guanyin. They calmed down, concentrated on their journey, and were alert to the surrounding situations.

The group successfully crossed the border of the Black Car Kingdom and has now entered the territory of Tinglei Ridge. They no longer have to worry about being pursued by those fanatical guards.

They stopped for a while to regroup. Although they were not very tired, it was necessary to confirm their current location and meet up with Old Man Elephant as soon as possible.

The geographical location of the Western Regions is difficult to identify. Once you leave the densely populated areas, you don’t know where you are, and it is difficult to find reference points to mark the area along the way.

There used to be a famous scenic spot in the Western Regions, Dafeng Mountain, which was shaped like Dalilaila, plump and firm. However, after more than ten years of wind and sand erosion, it was directly blown into a flat mountain.

The Western Region escorts were a little distressed. They had signal fireworks to confirm each other's positions, but they didn't dare to use them at the moment.

If the old man can see it, the Scorpion Demon's spies may also be able to see it.

Nan Hongsha said in distress: "I suddenly remembered that I can't use the Fire Book rashly now. Where can I meet up with Old Man Xiang..."

When the old man used the Fire Book to transmit the location information of the Scorpion Demon, he had to go to the territory of the Black Car Country and stay away from Tinglei Ridge before he dared to use the Fire Book.

Wardfa came up with an idea. He grinned and said excitedly:

"I'm going to fart out, the old man should be able to smell it and come find us!"

His companions looked at him speechlessly, wanting to complain, but then they realized that this plan was indeed feasible.

It is hidden and has a wide range of spread!

Chu Wuji did not get involved, so as to avoid their vulgar behavior from spoiling the mood of the Sky Fox Queen.

He hid near Miss Guanyin for the time being. The blonde woman was looking at the yellow sand land with melancholy. When she saw Chu Wuji coming over, she smiled politely and elegantly.

Chu Wuji noticed the loneliness in the woman's expression and guessed that she was thinking about the Water and Fire Sect.

No matter how strong she appears in front of her companions, as a woman, she has to think about the survival of her own power before her strength becomes truly strong, and the pressure in her heart is enormous.

"Miss Guanyin, are you thinking about the escort agency and the Water and Fire Sect?"

"Yes, Bai Kongque was once a senior in the Water and Fire Sect, highly respected and imparting wisdom and strength to the people of the Western Regions. I really don't understand why she would be like this. How could the Water and Fire Sect, such a selfless and non-confrontational force, disband so suddenly..."

The blonde woman looked sad.

The most ironic thing is that after Bai Kongque committed such a treasonous act, not only did she not become disloyal, but the Sun and Moon Kingdom where she served as the national teacher became even more powerful. On the contrary, the Holy Fire Faction was on the verge of collapse, and it was feared that they would soon lose even the Holy Fire Pearl.

Chu Wuji scratched his head with a subtle mood. He couldn't tell whether this was an internal affair of the Water and Fire Sect or something else.

The force that Miss Guanyin belongs to is really similar to what the Heavenly Fox Goddess encountered.

Be content, don't fight or compete, and don't actively bring malice to others. But one day, others take advantage of your kindness to develop their power, and when their power accumulates enough, they suddenly turn their backs on you.

The Fox Goddess also sighed quietly. As a "senior" who had experienced this kind of thing, she shared her thoughts:

“Kindness sometimes requires strength to support it. When you have strength and still refrain from oppressing the weak, that is kindness.

"To show kindness when you have no power is to fatten up evil people without realizing it, and it is self-inflicted and unacceptable!"

Chu Wuji was ashamed. Fortunately, the Sky Fox Goddess didn't let others hear her voice, otherwise, wouldn't it be like offending her teammates in front of a powerful enemy...

However, Chu Wuji couldn't think of any words to reply to Miss Guanyin at the moment, but he couldn't remain silent, so he translated the words of the Sky Fox Goddess and relayed the lessons and insights of the "ancients".

"Miss Guanyin, I'm still inexperienced, so I don't really understand your situation. But... from the perspective of crisis awareness, you can ask yourself to practice 'selflessness and kindness,' but you can't really assume that others are as kind as you.

Don't worry about good or evil, your own strength is the most important thing!"

Miss Guanyin looked into the distance and thought:

"Don't have the intention to harm others, but be on guard against them... Is that what you mean?"

"Correct."

After Chu Wuji responded, he sat aside and reviewed the few martial arts techniques he knew, so as to prevent Miss Guanyin from talking about some profound topics that he would find difficult to continue.

The two beautiful sheep and horses were really close to him. Now they came to him again, holding the reins in their mouths, wanting Chu Wuzhi to take them to the side to eat grass.

"Quite clingy..."

Chu Wuzhi thought that he was avoiding the topic anyway, so he took them to find some grass to eat nearby.

The sand wind blew across the headscarf of the Guanyin girl, quietly pulling out a strand of slightly curly soft golden hair. The hair was like a ray of rosy clouds, swaying in front of the ice-blue eyes of this exotic beauty, making her thoughts gradually drift away.

Before this, when Guanyin thought about the burden that her parents had slowly handed over to her, she felt that the road ahead was uncertain and she didn't know what to do.

The white peacock that took away the divine water beads became more and more powerful.

The Holy Fire Pearl sect is on the decline and can only survive as an escort agency. Not to mention reviving the former Water and Fire Sect, even continuing the Holy Fire Pearl has become a luxury.

If Guanyin's father had not sold the land in Jieshi City earlier and became the invisible richest man in the Western Regions, I'm afraid this escort agency would have to be closed!

“You can ask yourself to be kind and selfless, and you can encourage others to be kind and selfless, but you can’t really assume that others are kind and selfless…”

This escort agency became the continuation of the Holy Fire faction and was also the result of the hard work of the fathers. Guanyin understood this, so she had been personally involved in the affairs of the escort agency.

I feel it is necessary to make a decision.

After successfully retrieving the Holy Fire Pearl, she would put aside the affairs of the escort agency and concentrate on controlling the full power of the Holy Fire Pearl, so that she would have the foundation to walk up to the White Peacock and personally question him about the past of the Water and Fire Sect!

Regardless of good or evil, right or wrong, strength is the prerequisite for everything.

"However, we still have to retrieve the Holy Fire Pearl first..."

Miss Guanyin looked around, found Chu Wuzhi's figure, and walked towards him.

"Master Chu, we should now be partners who trust each other, right?"

Chu Wuji loosened the reins, let the two horses return to the blonde's side, and said:

"Yes, we are about to face the Scorpion Demon. If we don't trust each other now, we will be in trouble~"

The blonde woman nodded deeply and said seriously, "From the perspective of a Lihuo person, it may seem a little strange, but I want to tell Master Chu my real name as a proof of mutual trust."

Chu Wuji understood the foreign customs, put away his relaxed smile, and tried his best to make himself look formal and solemn.

"I inherited my father's surname, 'Fu'. It's said that my grandfather was from the Eastern Region. After some empire broke apart, he migrated to the Western Region."

"It can be seen that Miss Guanyin's face looks like she has absorbed the best qualities of her parents."

"My name is Bodhisattva."

"...?"
