I was favored by the evil god, and I became a white-bone bodhisattva.

Judging from the standards of well ears and well rings, the performance of these villagers cannot be said to be good.

However, after offering the mountain rice dumplings, the mountain still chose to forgive.

Looking at the wild boar eating the wild rice dumplings with relish, the two brothers couldn't help but sigh at the magnanimity of the mountain.

After the wild boar had eaten all the rice dumplings, a small bamboo shoot, a mushroom and a piece of wild vegetables grew out of the ground in full view of everyone.

"..."

Jing Er and Jing Jie looked at each other, then carefully stepped forward and took off the three things.

"Go back. The mountain has forgiven you. Remember to come to the mountain to offer sacrifices every year on this day."

After Jing Jie finished speaking, Jing Er immediately added: "Also, you cannot light a fire on the day of the sacrifice. Remember this."

Chapter 227: Many Tribulations on the Road of Cultivation

Waking up from her coma, Tangtang smelled the very fragrant aroma of rice dumplings.

"Jingjie, was the sacrifice to the mountain successful?"

She looked at the monk who walked in from the door and asked.

"It's a success! To celebrate, everyone is making rice dumplings."

Having said that, Jing Jie asked the little girl to wait for a moment and hurried out the door.

Soon, he came to Tangtang with a zongzi in his hand: "Are you hungry? I saved this for you. Come and have a taste."

The little girl was indeed hungry, so she quickly peeled the rice dumpling and ate it all.

The taste was of course impeccable, but the sudden increase in mana that came with it made Tangtang feel very strange.

She couldn't help but ask, "What kind of zongzi is this? It increases my mana much more than the last time I ate bird eggs."

"Haha, these are rice dumplings made from the first batch of fresh ingredients grown on the mountain after the sacrifice."

Jing Jie smiled and said, "Tangtang, you have worked hard and made great contributions. My brother and I think this rice dumpling should be given to you."

The little girl smiled shyly, then jumped off the bed with full energy: "The problem of Kaoshan Village has been solved. Now we just have to wait for Senior Brother Jingxing to come!"

"My senior brother has been here before. He said 'In the palace'."

Huh?

"I think what senior brother means is that Xiaobai is now imprisoned in the palace." Jing Jie said seriously.

Previously, everyone suspected that the sharp-mouthed monster lived in the mountains, so they asked Jingxing, who often passed through the deep mountains and forests, to help find it.

I never thought it was in the palace!

Tangtang wondered, "Why is it in the palace?"

“Perhaps the monster is related to the royal family.”

Jing Er strode in. While eating zongzi, he said, "Although Yufu is a small country, its name is inherited from Yufu Ancient Country, one of the Ten Ancient Countries. I wonder, in addition to the name of the country, did the royal family inherit some other heritage from Yufu Ancient Country?"

......................

If monsters are a kind of heritage, then it makes sense.

"Thanks to Second Brother for not having any taboos and running anywhere. Otherwise, we would have wasted a lot of effort if we had focused on the cave."

As he spoke, Jing Jie's expression became serious: "No matter how badly Xiaobai was injured when he was captured, that monster is not something we can deal with. How to rescue Xiaobai still needs to be considered carefully."

"Don't worry, Tangtang can use the immobilization bowl to keep it still." The little girl said confidently.

amount.

"Tangtang, to be on the safe side, let's treat that monster as a monster that can rival the Immortals."

Hearing Jing Er's words, the little girl nodded repeatedly and said, "Yeah, Tangtang also estimated so! It doesn't matter, even if it is a monster that can rival the immortals, the immobilization bowl can still do it, eh?"

The little girl was suddenly stunned, and after a while she said with a bitter face: "No, Sister Wanzi needs to make up for her beauty sleep, Tangtang can't keep holding that monster."

Beauty sleep and the like are naturally just excuses that Maru made up.

The real reason is that Maru feels that Tangtang has been relying too much on the ability of unlimited incarnation recently.

and......

The little girl can reincarnate indefinitely. After she finds Xiaobai, all the weird creatures and practitioners in the world, except for those outside the standard and Bai Tianqing, will have to avoid her.

How much can one achieve in the end if there is no hardship on the path of cultivation?

Maruzi definitely didn't want to see Tangtang stop here, so he made a ruthless decision to take back the daily support of unlimited mana.

....................

After losing Sister Maru's daily support, rescuing Xiaobai from the palace became extremely difficult.

The main reason is that the monster is too powerful and no one can defeat it.

The whole room became very quiet as the three of them struggled to come up with a reliable rescue plan.

Jing'er's legs felt sore from standing, so he sat down on a chair and suddenly felt something hard pressing against his butt.

"Ah! Got it, got it."

He quickly took out the bamboo tube that was rubbing his buttocks, and Jing Er said excitedly: "How could I forget it? We still have a secret weapon."

"Sleepyhead?" Jing Jie reacted quickly.

"That's right. Let's sneak into the palace first to find out where Xiaobai is. Then we can rescue the monster while it's dozing off."

The sleepyhead is a particularly magical insect. Even Tangtang, who has practiced the Miaoxiang Liuli Sutra, fell asleep after being attacked by it.

The method that Jing Er came up with after a flash of inspiration is quite feasible.

"Fortunately, I helped Brother Jing'er catch a few sleepyheads, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do now." The little girl said with a smile.

"That's right, hahahaha. A man's romance can come in handy sometimes."

"A man's romance is catching bugs?" Jing Jie looked helpless as he complained.

"What's wrong?"

Jing Er said as a matter of course: "You never caught bugs when you were a kid!"

Without mentioning Jing'er's hobbies, the matter of rescuing Xiaobai finally made some progress.

The question now is, how can these three people get into the palace?

.....................

"Senior Brother, do you still remember Pumpkin Town?" Jing Jie asked Jing Er.

Seeing his senior brother nod, he continued, "The pumpkins in Pumpkin Town are famous in Yufu. I heard from the people in the town that the palace will send someone to buy pumpkins from them at the beginning of every month."

Jing Er's eyes lit up, but he seemed a little hesitant.

"Brother, what we do may greatly offend the royal family. We are certainly not afraid, but wouldn't it be bad to implicate the people of Pumpkin Town?"

"Well, indeed, I was not thoughtful enough."

Jing Jie pondered for a moment and said, "If it really doesn't work, I will take care of the eldest brother, so that the third brother can be free. With the combination of earth ear and sky eye, we should be able to find a way to sneak into the palace, right?"

In fact, it is best to work with the two magical powers together. Before sneaking in, you can first find out the situation of Xiaobai and the monster. Then you can enter the palace, release the sleepyhead, and rescue Xiaobai in one go.

But...

"I'm afraid that Senior Brother Jingmu's eyesight will fail at the critical moment. We've suffered from this before." Jing'er said with a wry smile.

"Well, it's better than sneaking into the palace and slowly finding out the situation. The Second Prince knows us, and we may run into him in the palace at any time."

As for Yu Yan, both Jing Er and Jing Mu have a great liking for him.

I don't have that much favor towards Jing Jie, but I do have some.

But just because you have a good impression of someone is a good impression, you can’t just expect others to cooperate in rescuing Xiaobai.

After much discussion, the three of them finally decided that they had to ask Jingme for help.

Without further ado, they bid farewell to the villagers of Kaoshan Village in the afternoon and quickly returned to Guantian Temple.

Chapter 228 Saving Private White

Compared to Sang Kingdom, the capital of Yufu Kingdom appears old and dilapidated, and most of the passers-by have a sense of superiority.

And, unlike the residents of King Sang's capital, the people here are very unfriendly to outsiders.

"I feel like we've been ripped off," Jingmu frowned and said, "I rented ten similar houses in Yinlu Village for the same price."

“Take away the feeling and we’re just being ripped off.”

Jing Er shrugged and said, "Although renting an apartment in the capital is more expensive than elsewhere, it's not that outrageous. But business is more important, so let's not worry about it."

As he spoke, he signaled to his senior brother to close the door, and then he used his earth-earing ability.

The effective range of the Earth Ear Communication is very wide, and the capital of the Yufu Kingdom is very small, so even if you are in a house in the marginal area, Jing Er can hear what is happening in the palace.

"..."

An hour later, he withdrew his magical power with a puzzled look on his face: "I didn't hear anything about the monsters and Xiaobai. This shouldn't be the case. It's easiest to get all kinds of information when women gather together."

"Perhaps it's because of the hush money," Tangtang speculated: "Brother Jing'er, you gave the second prince a lot of hush money. He sealed the mouths of people in the palace and prohibited everyone from discussing things related to monsters."

Hearing this, Jing Er slapped his head and said, "I didn't realize it at the time. It must be because of the hush money."

"You still have to look at me!"

Jingmu was about to use his magical powers, but Jinger stopped him and said, "Don't use your right eye. Your right eye sees whatever you want and doesn't obey your commands. Use your left eye!"

Actually, Jingmu’s left eye is not very obedient either.

It’s just that he doesn’t usually use his left eye, so his fellow disciples don’t feel it clearly.

"Okay, okay, put it in your left eye."

Jingmu laughed dryly, and after using his clairvoyance, he gave his left eye some careful instructions before letting it sneak into the palace.

......

Having learned from the last time when he was almost shot down by a sharpshooter, Jingmu's left eye waited until nightfall before quietly sneaking into the palace.

It walked left and looked right, and soon it had completed a circle in the palace.

However, Xiaobai didn't see the pointed-mouthed monster, nor did he see the moving skeleton.

The left eyeball was not discouraged. It wondered: Maybe there is a secret cage under the palace?

"?"

Suddenly, Zuo Yanqiu saw two guards carrying a corpse hurriedly into the garden.

They wielded the shovels skillfully and buried the gorgeously dressed girl.

Although I saw some strange things, it seemed to have nothing to do with monsters and Xiaobai.

The left eyeball continued to circle around the palace. It hadn't found Xiaobai for a long time, and hadn't seen the monster either, so it slowly began to let itself go.

Ignoring Jingmu's advice to return quickly if he couldn't find it, Left Eyeball sneaked into the largest and most magnificent room in the palace.

Theoretically, this room should belong to the king, but the eldest princess lives in it.

Her Royal Highness the Princess was sitting on the edge of the bed, twisting her fingers, bored. The moment her left eyeball flew into the room, her expression slightly changed.

“So boring”

“Too boring”

“Is there anything fun?”

After the eldest princess murmured to herself for a while, she took out a bunch of keys from the drawer and walked out.

She first entered the national treasury, which contained the wealth accumulated by the royal family of Yufu over the years.

While spinning around and scattering gems, the eldest princess inadvertently glanced at the eyeball hiding in the corner.

"It seems that he is not very interested in the national treasury."

Thinking of this, the eldest princess slowly came to the royal library.

The library contains many volumes that record most of the secrets of that ancient era.
