"What do you mean? How can this be considered a good thing? We've been robbed. All of a sudden, old debt has become bad debt. There's no way to settle it."

"You can't say that~"

"What do you mean?" Aunt Green Snake said as she crawled to the arm where her sister White Snake was, and indeed used Chu Wuzhi as a tree branch to climb on.

"Regardless of whether this mysterious black-robed woman showed up or not, the Tianlong monk was never here. We were doomed to fail. Her unexpected intervention actually solved a problem for us ahead of time."

When Chu Wuzhi said this, Aunt Qingshe understood and suddenly woke up.

The target of revenge for their group was precise. Back then, it was the monk Tianlong who played a trick, causing the people to smash and destroy things and drive out the White Snake. Only later did the Buddhist temple move in. However, when the temple was built, the White Snake and the Green Snake had already left.

As long as the temple hands over the monk Tianlong and lets him come out alone to settle the account, the White Snake and the Green Snake may not pay any attention to the Jintai Temple.

The monks of Jintai Temple oppressed the people, seized their land, and plundered their wealth. What did they have to do with it? Their kindness and goodwill had already been exhausted that year.

The actual situation now is that the monk Tianlong has already left this place, and there are only monks from Jintai Temple here.

The White Snake and the Green Snake brought Chu Wuji back from afar, and the choice was a bit difficult - the person who owed the debt was not there, should they take it out on Jintai Temple?

Let them vent their anger. They didn't hold a strong hatred for Jintai Temple. They only learned about the existence of such a temple after returning this time. Killing them wouldn't be enough. If they started killing people indiscriminately, it might affect the reputation and situation of their younger generations.

Chu Wuji now has a friendly relationship with the immortals, and the White Snake and the Green Snake do not want to drag their children down because of their willfulness.

If I don't vent my anger, then this trip will be a complete waste. The more I think about this, the angrier I get. I might even attack Jintai Temple.

The situation is pretty good now. Jintai Temple has been destroyed, and it wasn't them who did it, so they are spared the trouble.

It feels like someone is taking care of me with great consideration!

Chapter 234 Attracting the Dragon Monk

Bai Sujin laughed dumbly, she felt that there was some truth in it:

"When I think about it, it's quite clever. I used to feel uncomfortable with another woman pressing against me, but now I feel like she's just being helpful, saving us from being caught in a dilemma."

On the same arm, Aunt Green Snake was rude again:

"Sister, you're clearly worried that this woman might come and pretend to be your mother to get close to Wu Ji, using your face! Then there will be a few more mothers coming out~"

After the green snake finished speaking, it slid out and transformed into a human form as if fleeing in panic, turning into the heroic girl with a high ponytail. She quickly ran to the corpse of the abbot monk, pretending to check whether there was any corpse transformation.

As for whether Aunt Green Snake’s words just now were lethal, they were a little bit!

The white snake stared at his sister's back and sighed helplessly.

Yun Qingying didn't understand what was going on, so she whispered to her male companion:

"Brother, do you have many mothers?"

"......" Chu Wuji was speechless and hesitated to speak.

He really wanted to say: Silly sister, your master is my mother, your biological mother Madam Jiang is my wet nurse, mother, there is also a fox mother like me living in your body now.

Chu Wuji suddenly had a terrible premonition...

If Ning Xianzhi appeared and I accidentally called out "Mom", then with the evil intentions of the Sky Fox Queen, she would definitely control Yun Qingying's body and then ask "What do you want me to do?"

The master and disciple were embarrassed.

Yun Qingying looked at Chu Wuji in confusion, wondering why his expression changed so much, sometimes frowning solemnly, sometimes taking a breath in fear.

The girl suddenly remembered something. Chu Wuji’s other mother should be her own master Ning Xianzhi.

Yun Qingying had heard Ning Xianzhi mention this matter before. Because it was inconvenient for Chu Wuji to join the Shenxiao Sect at that time, she found another way and asked Chu Wuji to recognize her as his mother first and then register the sect under her personal name.

Pretending to recognize her as the adoptive mother, but actually recognizing her as the master.

Chu Wuji didn't want to delve into the details. He started discussing the subsequent itinerary arrangements and said:

"It's really not appropriate to leave right after arriving. Are there any scenic spots nearby? Or ghost cultivators, Yama Palace, or something like that?"

Bai Sujin recalled carefully:

"Probably not. If there were any ghost cultivators, they would have come to visit me long ago. I guess I did too many things back then, so no one could be chosen as the King of Hell."

In order to be randomly selected as the King of Hell, one must do many good deeds and accumulate merits during one's lifetime, so that one can gain an opportunity to practice cultivation after death.

However, the White Snake Temple "grabbed" all the opportunities to do great good deeds, and the people could live their own peaceful lives. Even when a flood broke out, there were people to help carry water, and the gentry and landlords had no chance to open their warehouses to release grain for disaster relief.

What a missed opportunity to do good!

She continued, "If we go further in, the land temple for Diaolongkou is over there. Maybe we can see some minor gods there."

Chu Wuji had no interest in the land god. Instead of looking for the land god, he might as well go further away and go directly to Xiaoyao Valley to see if he could visit the cranes there and get a meal of fairy rice.

His attention was attracted by the place name here, Diaolongkou?

I was so preoccupied with revenge that I forgot the name of this place was so interesting.

"Mother, why is this place called 'Diaolongkou'? Is there any explanation?"

Aunt Green Snake had been pretending to study the corpse, but was actually listening to the conversation. She said:

"Before the temple was built for my sister and me, this place already had this name. I'm not sure if there's a reason for it, but we've been here all these years and haven't heard of a dragon emerging."

Yun Qingying was well-versed in this area. She recalled the knowledge she had read in books and said:

"Many fish are called 'dragons'. Koi are known as latent dragons, meaning they are hidden dragons waiting for their opportunity. Loaches are also known as fallen dragons, and there is also the golden arowana.

The Yun family has a large pond in the same courtyard as the ancestral hall. Normally, clan members are not allowed to approach it. In the pond, there are several large dragon loaches, nearly a meter long.

A loach nearly one meter long? !

Chu Wuji was quite ignorant in this area. His knowledge was all about survival in the mountains and forests. He asked curiously:

"It's so amazing that it can be placed together with the aristocratic family ancestral hall. What's the story behind this Fallen Dragon Loach?"

"It is said that raising a fallen dragon is helping it to attain enlightenment, allowing it to escape its predicament and be reborn as a dragon in the next life. It can usually spit out official fortunes and wealth, helping the family prosper."

Yun Qingying now looks back at this rumor and thinks it might be somewhat useful, but the effect is very limited, similar to planting a money tree.

If raising loaches could make you rich and bring you good fortune, how could there be any poor people in this world?

However, for loach to have such a glorious legend left behind, something must have really happened in the past.

Chu Wuji said with a hint of regret:

"Then I guess the dragons we're fishing for are probably loaches or something like that. And with the river so turbulent in this section, is it really possible to catch any fish?"

Although he was skeptical, he felt that this place was quite suitable for fishing. If he really came back empty-handed, he could complain that the water was too fast and the bait had been washed away.

He didn't think about fishing anymore. It was rare to encounter such a turbulent river. He really had to think about the water god.

If the main stream of the Tiannu River can't be moved, we can always try to move its tributaries, right? If that doesn't work, then we can go back to the Chu River where he was adopted. Chu River just happened to have his last name, Chu, so it's a good fit!

At this time, Aunt Green Snake was squatting down, studying the patterns engraved on the bell, trying to confirm what the object was used for.

As soon as she took down the bell, the abbot's corpse's obsession took over. His face, covered with corpse spots, raised up, his eyes widened, and he stretched out his hands, palms shaped like claws, ready to take back the bell.

"Ring...you have to call me...my first disciple has returned to avenge his vengeance..."

Aunt Green Snake reacted quickly. The moment the abbot's body moved, she jumped back nimbly to dodge. While in mid-air, she kicked the body again, directly kicking it aside.

"That scared me! This thing is so good at pretending to be dead, it's perfect for being a lucky charm. I guess pilgrims will mistake it for a spirit of a high monk and try harder to pay for it."

She cursed and turned her attention back to the bell. The abbot had just mentioned his first disciple.

Could it be that Tianlong monk?

Green Snake always did whatever she thought of. She immediately condensed a small ball of magic at her fingertips and hit the bell casually.

The sound of the bell suddenly changed. The dull sound became distant, like an echo in a valley.

Soon, a golden monk figure appeared in the temple and stood at the place where the incense burner was moved.

That person was actually the target that White Snake and Green Snake were looking for, the Tianlong Monk!

[Jintai Temple...Master, and fellow disciples!]

He stared at the tragic scene in the temple in stunned astonishment, and soon revealed an angry look of a diamond, with an alarming arrogance, he shouted:

[Evildoers, you can't escape! I will make sure you are punished, and your blood debt will be repaid with blood!]

Chapter 235: Skywrath Dragon Palace

Suddenly someone shouted angrily, and everyone was a little stunned. When they turned around, they found that it was Aunt Green Snake who successfully rang the bell, and successfully carried out the request for help that the abbot had failed to complete.

This golden monk has a strong physique, has practiced well, and has strong muscles and bones. Even if he only appears as a shadow, one can feel his extraordinary strength. He is probably a genius among Buddhist disciples.

Looking back at his appearance, he has regular facial features, his eyebrows start from the bridge of his nose, pass through his brow bones, and finally rise to his temples. He exudes a sense of righteousness and ruthlessness, and firmly believes that his own way is correct.

From the expressions of the White Snake Mother and the Green Snake Aunt, Chu Wuji knew that this person was the Tianlong Monk he had been looking for.

Chu Wuji had no interest in clearing up the misunderstanding in the temple. He urged the shadow:

"When will you come back to reunite with your fellow disciples? Time is very tight, and we have to catch up with our daily schedule."

Tianlong Dharma Monk glared angrily. He recited scriptures to suppress his rational anger and said in a cold voice:

[You evildoers, you can't escape. Even if you hide to the ends of the earth, it's useless. I will spend my entire life avenging the blood debt of Jintai Temple!]

The monk had no intention of having too much conversation with Chu Wuzhi and others in his shadow form. In his eyes, Jintai Temple was massacred and the identity of the murderer was also imprinted in his eyes. This was enough.

The monk Tianlong raised his palm and chanted a spell. He activated the bell through the air. The Sanskrit words on the bell glowed with golden light, and then the bell rang rapidly, like a death bell.

Wherever the sound reached, information appeared in the mind of Tianlong Monk, while Chu Wuji, Aunt Qingshe and Yun Qingying who were standing in the temple were "marked" by the magic power in the bell.

They looked up and saw a beam of light rising from the sky, with a Sanskrit word meaning "the great enemy of Buddhism" floating there.

This is a wanted mark, and the Tianlong monk can follow this mark to seek revenge.

Bai Sujin was not marked, probably because she did not transform into a human form.

After Tianlong Monk completed all this, his golden figure disappeared.

Aunt Green Snake sneered and said, "This guy was afraid that we would run away, so he even marked us. I was afraid that he wouldn't come!"

This situation is quite ridiculous. I thought it was a wasted trip, but I didn't expect such a change to happen...

"I hope this Tianlong monk can come quickly." Chu Wuji echoed, then looked at Yun Qingying worriedly: "Can the light on Qingying's head be erased?"

Yun Qingying's identity is relatively sensitive, and the original plan was to "watch and gain experience" rather than directly participate. The "fox demon disguise" given by the Heavenly Fox Goddess is only superficial. Once Yun Qingying uses the magic of the immortal family, she will immediately be recognized as a disciple of a certain force.

Aunt Green Snake recognized these Buddhist tricks and reminded them:

"This beam of light will dissipate on its own in a month, which means that the Tianlong Dharma Monk will arrive soon. If you try to erase this light, it will only transfer it to someone else."

Yun Qingying did not show any fear or retreat. She said seriously:

"The temples here are plundering fertile land, using magic to oppress and plunder... I don't think this counts as causing trouble for the sect!"

The position of the immortals is not to interfere in the secular world. If the immortals take sides with any human country, it can cause unrest and indirectly lead to disasters. Therefore, they often keep themselves away from the world. Even when they move around in the secular world, they disguise themselves as ordinary people and try not to reveal their identities.

However, the way Buddhists do things is to build Buddhist temples and collect incense and prayers. They hold extraordinary power in their hands, but pretend to be one of the ordinary people and seize land to make money.

What is the difference between this behavior and the evil spirits using their power to harm the civilians who are powerless to resist?

Yun Qingying felt that if the elders of the Shenxiao Sect believed that she was causing trouble, then what position would she have to slay demons and eliminate evil in the future?

"You are a straightforward and stubborn girl, just like Wu Ji before~" Bai Sujin smiled gently, this brother and sister did not deserve it.

A beam of light spit out from the white snake's mouth, knocking away the beam of light on the girl's head. Soon, the beam of light reached the white snake's head.

Just as Aunt Green Snake said, whoever dares to erase it will become the next wanted person and can only wait for it to dissipate on its own.

The white snake no longer coiled on her son's arm. She appeared in human form and stood beside Chu Wuzhi. She was beautiful, with her hands clasped in front of her belly and her manners were elegant.

Bai Sujin was worried that the girl would feel bad, so she tried to comfort her by saying:

"I didn't stop Qingying from taking action. That was your will, but it's better for me to take on this enemy's mark. The White Snake Temple matter was originally my personal affair.

Xiaoqing and Wuji are both very happy, but I, the person involved, am missing. How can this be justified?"

Yun Qingying bit her lips lightly and nodded to show her acceptance.

Chu Wuji scratched his head, his thoughts shifting from "where to go next" to "responding to the enemy and settling accounts," and said:

"This happened quite suddenly. Are we just going to wait here for now? A month isn't too short."

Aunt Green Snake didn't feel much about the time. This matter had been delayed for more than ten years, and one month wouldn't make a difference. Moreover, it was the Dragon Monk who came to her house in person to seek death.
