What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The white python demon on the other side did not respond, but made a sword gesture with his hand and rushed forward with another sword.

In this forest, Yanxia and the giant python engaged in a back-and-forth battle. One was a celestial official from Cangzhou, the other a white python renowned in Nanzhao. One, despite having lost both maces, remained undeterred, while the other, gloating over his ferocity, was now radiating his power.

Their words are equally impressive, their sentiments eccentric. Spears fly, swords lash, spells obscure the sky. One man and one demon battle for supremacy, all for the secret of immortality.

After more than ten rounds of bang-bang fighting, there was no winner.

The white python was still a protracted battle player, hissing, "Heavenly Official! You have some skills, I can't embarrass you. Give me a kidney to taste and see if the magic recipe is real. If it's fake, I'll compensate you with one. If it's real, I'll do business with you."

Yanxia's hands were a little sore from fighting, mainly because she had rarely used guns and was not familiar with them.

She also wanted to take the opportunity to rest, so she asked, "What business?"

"If it's true, it's definitely an elixir! So many people in this world seek immortality! If you're willing to sell your blood and flesh to them, they'll go to great lengths to find it for you, even if it means millions of ounces of gold or the throne. Isn't this a fantastic deal?"

Yanxia was surprised and laughed.

This is quite creative!

She then asked, "Your method is good. But I'm not like the leeks in the field, which grow back every time you cut them. Taking flesh and blood from them will severely damage my vitality and won't be a long-term solution."

The scholar in white said, "Of course I have a way. I'll find you some natural treasures from Nanzhao Kingdom to replenish your vitality. There are many deep mountains and old forests there, with many treasures. The Heavenly Officials can also use the treasures to practice. Isn't this a win-win solution?"

"That's a good point. Unfortunately, I'm not interested!"

Yanxia had almost finished her rest, and seeing that this was a monster that relied on martial arts to show off its strength, she immediately summoned the Bull-Headed Dharma Body.

Dangdang Dangdang!

The Minotaur shook the bell, shaking the scholar in white so much that his brain was almost shaken apart.

When the white python saw the Ox-Head Dharma Image, it cried out in pain and tried to run away.

But An Yanxia was not the type to let a tiger go back into the mountains. With her hands clasped together, the Minotaur picked up four demon-subduing pestles and brought them down one after another.

Bang bang bang bang, like beating rice cakes.

Dongdongdongdong, like the sound of clapping a drum.

The scholar in white screamed a few times and then fell silent.

Yanxia walked over and saw a white and red mass stuck on the ground.

She said regretfully, "This snake skin is very good, it should be peeled off!"

The python spirit's soul should have flown out, but Yan Xia raised her hand and picked up the Heavenly Official Seal for Removing Sins and Rescuing Suffering, and pressed it against the corpse. The snake spirit's soul was then drawn into the Heavenly Official Seal, transforming into a snake head relief on the seal.

This method of collecting ghosts was discovered by Yan Xia when she was training the soldiers.

If one could subdue the rampant soldiers, then naturally one could also subdue the souls. However, it wouldn't last long. Yan Xia estimated that it would last for seven days at most.

After killing the snake demon, Yan Xia didn't stay any longer.

But the horse watched the whole battle between Yanxia and the monster and was very frightened. It curled up on the ground and refused to move.

An Yanxia had no choice but to hit the horse with a fire knife, and the horse immediately became excited.

They walked for another half the night, and by the time the city gate was closed, it was already daybreak.

Yanxia went back to Qing'anju in the city, released the snake spirit in the yard, and called Xue Shier and Bai Zhu to have a trial.

Snow Lion came over yawning, rubbed his eyes, and saw Yan Xia covered in blood. He then looked at the snake ghost floating in the air with his mouth wide open.

"Taoist, your life has been really rough..."

Bai Zhu's eyes became sharp, and he asked with concern: "Miss, what is this?"

"I'll tell you later, listen first."

Yan Xia shook her head and stared at the snake demon.

The snake demon couldn't defeat An Yanxia when he was alive, and now that he is dead, he is even more cowardly.

After his death, he felt light and said, "Master, ask whatever you want. I don't ask you to help me return to the world or prolong my life. I only ask you to let me go to the underworld to be judged and reincarnated!"

"You are so free and easy. Are you also like this when you seek immortality?"

The snake spirit laughed and said, "That's not how you seek immortality. But you've already destroyed your physical body and your cultivation, so what are you still clinging to?"

Yan Xia was amused. "You could at least say something harsh, like cursing me a few times or something like that."

Xue Shier looked surprised and thought to himself: So Taoist priests like this kind of fun?

The snake demon was more relaxed than Yan Xia had imagined. "What's the point of saying harsh words? What's the point of cursing? Do you think that cursing you a few times will make my body return? I'm afraid you'll beat me so hard that my soul will be shattered and I won't even have a chance to reincarnate. Besides, the strong prey on the weak. I can't hurt you as much as you can, so I'm lucky to have a reincarnation."

Yanxia clapped her hands. This snake demon was a real social leader who dared to act and take responsibility.

She wasn't a Shedar, but she hadn't considered disposing of the snake demon right there. "Tell me, which side are you from? Explain your situation clearly, and I'll take you to the underworld."

"I have no sect or distinction. I am a casual cultivator from Wenshan, Nanzhao. My time is running out. I set out to sea in search of the First Emperor's elixir of immortality. Passing through Cangzhou, I heard there was a recipe for longevity. So I came to eat your immortal flesh, but you killed me. That's what happened."

The rumor had not yet reached Cangzhou City. Xue Shier and Bai Zhu were confused and didn't understand the situation.

Yanxia frowned when she heard that.

There was really no need for this snake ghost to lie to himself.

"Then where did you hear the rumor that I am the Yuanti of a good person from ten generations, and that eating it can make you immortal?"

"North of Hejian, at the Sanhe Ghost Market on the border with Zhuo County."

Dong Huang suddenly receives a jade talisman: Chapter 137 [Secret of Immortality]

Xue Shier listened to the whole thing and his face didn't look very good.

She just thought that Yanxia had encountered a blind monster on the road, but she had no idea that there was such a connection behind it.

Yanxia pinched the little girl's face.

"What are you doing!"

"You seem quite nervous. Let me help you relax."

Yanxia rubbed it twice more. Xue Shier broke away and glared, "I was worried about you. You are such a good Taoist priest."

The girl smiled and rubbed it twice, which made the snow lion so angry that it bit people.

Yan Xia reached out and held Xue Shi'er down, then said, "Sister Bai Zhu, please help send this snake demon to the underworld for trial."

Although this snake demon has not committed any serious sins, it is not a serious monster either.

Bai Zhu was captured and taken to the underworld for trial, which was in line with the external practice requirements of his "Beidi Method".

The so-called external merit, that is, accumulating virtue and doing good deeds, seems illusory to ordinary people, but to the monks of Beidi Fa, it is visible to the naked eye and is a performance for promotion.

Bai Zhu held the sword and clasped his fists, then swung out a set of soul-catching ropes, which hooked the snake demon and allowed him to leave his body.

Seeing that no one was around to disturb them, Yanxia let go of Xue Shier.

Xue Shi'er didn't appreciate it and bit Yan Xia's finger.

"Are you born in the year of the dog?"

"I'm a cat." Xue Shi'er left two rows of teeth marks and looked at Yan Xia reluctantly with his arms crossed.

She asked, "Have you figured out how to deal with this?"

"About the rumors?"

"Otherwise, what else is there?"

Yan Xia raised her hand and said, "And there's that time you bit me. It hurts."

"Did I bite too hard? Do you want some golden wound medicine?"

Xue Shi'er was a little nervous.

Yan Xia coughed twice and said, "Just lick it for me."

Xue Shier's face turned cold, and he deliberately punched the spherical external armor.

"Have you figured out how to deal with the rumor? I heard that three people can make a tiger. If it gets spread like this, you'll be in danger."

Yan Xia agreed with this. It had only been a few days, and the desperate monsters regarded her as a panacea.

What will happen if the rumors continue to ferment in a few months?

But she already has a solution for this.

"If an enemy comes, we will fight him; if a flood comes, we will block it with earth. If he has rumors, I will naturally have ways to deal with them."

Xue Shi'er frowned and said, "Master, I know you've been acting so arrogant lately, but don't get too complacent, or you might end up hurting yourself. Rumors can be big or small. If they're small, they'll just be a passing cloud. But if they're big, they'll cause even the Buddhas of Mount Lingshan to suffer."

"Indeed." An Yanxia agreed deeply. This world is not so bad. The channels for information dissemination are limited and the speed of transmission is slow.

In the Internet age, rumors are flying everywhere, one today and one tomorrow.

It was because Yan Xia had seen so many rumors that she knew how to deal with them.

Seeing her so confident, Xue Shi'er looked up and blinked, wondering, "Do you really have a method?"

"Of course I have it all planned out. But I still need the help of the Golden Bird Fairy."

Xue Shi'er asked blankly, "What can that stupid bird do?"

You don't seem to be that smart...

Yan Xia held her forehead, sat aside, and said, "Sit down first."

After saying that, she picked up a piece of cheese cake and handed it to Xue Shier, who came over foolishly.

"Wow!"

The little tongue rolled over the finger and swallowed it in one gulp.

Xue Shier swallowed the cake and asked curiously, "What's the plan? Can you tell me?"

Yan Xia said, "Tomorrow you go find Que Xian'er and tell her something important. Ask her to tell her brothers and sisters."

Xue Shier asked, "What's the big deal? Has anything big happened recently?"

Yanxia's head popped up and Xueshier covered his forehead with his hands and whimpered.

"Of course I made this up!"

"Go tell her tomorrow that four thousand miles away in the East China Sea, there's a large island called Fusang. This is where the First Emperor sent the alchemist Xu Fu to search for the elixir of life. Xu Fu arrived here and found the elixir of immortality, but instead of returning to China, he embezzled it and proclaimed himself king on Fusang Island. The elixir of immortality is still on this island."

Xue Shi'er was shocked when he heard the secret, "How could such a thing exist?"

An Yanxia: “….”

"So is it true or not?"

"It's fake... I just made it up." An Yanxia sighed.

Xue Shi'er said dejectedly, "I thought there really was an elixir of immortality."

"...It's not over yet. You can tell her tomorrow. Legend has it that King Mu of Zhou dreamt of wandering into a fairyland and sought the elixir of immortality from the Queen Mother of the West. This elixir is the same one that Chang'e swallowed and flew to the moon. King Mu swallowed one and became an immortal, while the other was hidden in the ancient tomb of Mangshan."

Xue Shier nodded and said, "That sounds fake."

"Fortunately, the brain is not completely broken..."

Yanxia breathed a sigh of relief.

Xue Shier asked again: "But isn't this spreading rumors?"

"Rumors stop at the wise. How could a true practitioner believe them?"

"But I almost believed it just now." Xue Shier looked suspicious.

Yan Xia asked with a smile, "But would Xue Shi'er go overseas to search for the ancient tombs of Fusang and Mangshan just to find this so-called elixir of immortality?"

"That certainly won't happen."

"Isn't this great?"

Yan Xia sneered and said, "Who among those who truly cultivate would abandon their own cultivation to seek some illusory elixir?"

Xue Shier understood that this was specifically designed to deceive the stupid and bad people.

She thought about it, she was neither stupid nor evil, and nodded, "But I still have a question. Spreading rumors like this involves some ancient people and gods, after all. Won't they care?"

Yan Xia asked, "Did I spread rumors about any gods?"

Xue Shier was about to say something, but suddenly froze.
