Chapter 28, Uninvited Guest, Abnormality
Second update, Cai Wei has no savings, seeking all kinds of support!
"Hmm, smells pretty good!"
At this moment, a pleasant female voice suddenly sounded in the room. With the sound, a figure appeared in front of everyone, stretched out her hand and picked up a small steamed bun from Xiao Qing's food box, put it in her mouth, and let out a rather satisfied hum, causing Hong Haier and Hu Qiuyue to stand on end with fright.
Although the cultivation of the monsters in the dry pine valley is generally not high, this fire cloud cave was personally laid out by the Bull Demon King using many treasures and countless restrictions. Generally, for immortals and gods below the Mahayana Golden Immortal, if they don't report to the main gate and get received, it's very difficult to enter without startling the people inside the cave.
Of course, Sun Wukong, that cunning and unconventional monkey, is an exception.
Although Hong Haier was extremely frightened, he didn't panic. Since the person had spoken up, they must have no intention of harming him.
However, as he carefully looked towards the person, he saw that the newcomer was a beautiful Taoist nun, wearing black clothes, with a charming expression, bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin was smooth and white.
It was on that day under the Sixth Harmony Pagoda in Bhikshu Kingdom that she had a brief encounter with the Saint Mother of Intercepting Teachings.
"Nephew has seen Master!" Red Boy was surprised at first when he saw the newcomer, but then he was overjoyed and hurriedly went forward to pay his respects.
"Haha, you little scamp."
The Bodhisattva smiled and helped the Red Boy up, looking him up and down before saying: "You little scamp are far more interesting than that stupid cow."
Then he helped Hong Haier back to his seat and said, "That day at the foot of Liuhe Tower, I vaguely felt that someone was secretly spying on me, but I couldn't detect it. Later, when I heard that stupid cow say that his own son was also in Bicheng City, I knew for sure it was you. But who was the person who took you away?"
"Huh." Hong Haier didn't expect that his master's first words upon meeting would be to ask about his whereabouts on that day, and he was slightly taken aback. The little fox beside him also perked up her ears, clearly curious about Hong Haier as well.
"Shibo, however, had piercing eyes and saw that it was Zhuangzi's senior who brought his nephew to watch from the shadows. Hong Haier saw that he shouldn't have looked at the Holy Mother, so he quickly spoke up."
"Zhuangzi?" When the Holy Mother heard this, she showed a thoughtful expression, and then frowned slightly: "It's been many years since I left the world, I didn't expect that the Taoist school would produce such a strong person. Does the Holy Infant know his whereabouts?"
"Cough! Cough!"
Hong Haier, who was about to take a sip of tea, hastily put it down and looked at Wu Dang Sheng Mu, seeing that her eyes were fixed on him, and hurriedly whispered: "That Zhuangzi is the obsession body of one of the five Zhuangguan."
"What's the Five Elements Watch?" When the Holy Mother heard this, she showed a sudden realization, and then her expression became respectful, sighing: "Nowadays in the Three Realms, only that one person has such methods."
Having said that, he didn't ask any more questions and took a set of bowls and chopsticks from the hands of a small servant on one side, and had dinner with Hong Haier and four others.
But at this moment, Hu Qiuyue's heart was surging with shockwaves. Although she had just asked the little demon beside her to go to the kitchen to fetch bowls and chopsticks, her heart was still focused on Hong Haier.
The conversation between the two did not avoid the crowd, how could they not hear it. Knowing that the person in front of him was one of the four great disciples of the Intercepting Sect, Wu Dang Sheng Mu, although Hu Qiuyue had not seen it with his own eyes during the Bhikkhuni Country campaign, he had also heard about it.
She was once a holy mother who broke through the calamity and came out, now she is already a quasi-saint among people. In the battle of Bhikkhu country, she killed the great Luo Jinxian Weng Dao Ren, making the heroes lose their voices. Moreover, she directly faced the Buddhist door Sakyamuni, the Taoist door Xuandu Dafashi and Yunzhongzi three people. Such heroic spirit is a model for women in the vast chaos.
In the past, among the three realms of demons, gods and Buddhas, the strongest woman who discussed the Tao was only known to be Nüwa, the ancestral saint of the demon tribe. As for others, perhaps the Golden Mother of the Jade Pool, the Queen of the Heavens, the Empress of Earth, the Old Mother of Mount Li, or even Guanyin from the Southern Sea could be considered among the strongest women in the primordial chaos.
However, the three realms now know of another female quasi-saint, who is none other than the Unborn Holy Mother before us. She was originally one of the four great disciples under the Heavenly Sage of the Severing Teachings, and had shone brightly in the Battle of Bhik?u Country. Now, her reputation is flourishing.
Of course, what was even more shocking than seeing the Holy Mother was Hong Haier's one sentence: "Wan Shou Shan".
Nowadays in the three realms, when it comes to Mount Wanshou, its reputation may not be prominent, but Hu Qiuyue was once a Qingqiu Fox Clan, so naturally he knows that there is a great divine power in Mount Wanshou. It can be ranked among the strongest in the current three realms. Even compared to the Heavenly Court's Haotian Jade Emperor and the Western Tathagata Longwang, it is half a step higher. Those who can be on par with it are few and far between.
Who would have thought that in the Bhikkhu country, that person had also gone and brought back the Red Boy to Wanshou Mountain. It's worth noting that the Bodhisattva can be said to be the Red Boy's own family, but what about that one? No matter how Hu Qiuyue guessed, she couldn't figure it out. In the end, she could only marvel at the Red Boy's strong destiny.
"Come on, Master Shibo, nephew's place is just simple food and plain tea, don't know if it will make you laugh."
On the side, Hong Haier was persuading Wu Dang Sheng Mu to eat more, but in his heart, he was somewhat puzzled as to why his master's senior sister would suddenly come.
"Hmm!" Wu Dang's Holy Mother ate elegantly, taking only one bite of each dish to taste it, and after a while, she had tasted over ten dishes, then smiled with some satisfaction, "Not bad."
He then turned his head and smiled at Hu Qiuyue beside him: "This little fox of yours is quite skilled."
"Ah!" Hu Qiuyue heard this, but it was an exclamation of surprise, with a feeling of being flattered, and hurriedly bowed to the Wu Dang Sheng Mu: "Holy Mother's excessive praise, Qiuyue is ashamed and dare not accept."
"It's good if it's good." When the Holy Mother heard this, her expression turned solemn and she spoke.
"Yes!" Hu Qiuyue heard this and was truly frightened, no longer daring to speak, afraid of offending her idol.
"Master!" Hong Haier saw this and hurriedly spoke out, but in his heart he was delighted. It's rare to see the little fox being bullied, after all, in Cuifeng Mountain, only Tie Shan Xian can make it feel fearful.
Shaking his head, he looked at the nun and said, "I don't know why Master came to find me, is there something you want to instruct me on?"
"Oh?" The Virgin Mary, who was sipping tea and tasting it carefully, heard Hong Haier's words and smiled slightly, asking: "Is the Holy Infant full?"
"Hmm." Hong Haier heard this, but was sweating profusely. Alright, although he had been living like an ordinary person lately, eating three meals a day was unavoidable, but as a naturally born immortal spirit body, he had long since stopped needing to eat. However, just to satisfy his appetite, why did Master treat him like a glutton like Xiao Niu and Xiao Qing?
"Ha ha!" Looking at the red boy's expression, although Mother Buddha was smiling, it made the red boy stunned for a moment. He only felt a flash in front of his eyes, but in his heart, he thought it was strange and too beautiful. It turned out that this seemingly stern Master Auntie looked so good when she smiled.
"What are you looking at." Wu Dang Sheng Mu felt the strange gaze of Hong Haier, but her face changed suddenly, knowing that she had been a little out of place just now, and hurriedly opened her mouth to say: "Actually, this time I came, it was because of that stupid cow, let me help his precious son, resolve the fire spirit in his body."
"Really?" Hong Haier was initially somewhat depressed, but after listening, he was overjoyed.
"But... " The Holy Mother looked at Hong Haier with a serious expression.
"What?" Hong Haier was startled upon hearing this, and immediately felt something piercing through his head and feet. He knew that Wudang Shengmu was using a secret method to investigate him, so he remained silent.
"Ah!"
After a long time, the Holy Mother finally sighed and said: "However, there is an extremely strong fire element in the body of the Holy Infant, which requires the power of the Quasi-Saint to refine. Nevertheless, it seems that it's not just as simple as the fire element."
"Ah?" Hong Haier heard it, but was shocked, revealing a puzzled expression, and said: "What else is there?"
"I still need to investigate further." Nangong Sacred Mother said calmly, stretching out her right hand and pointing a finger at the center of Hong'er's brow.
Hong Haier felt his entire body unable to move, and at the same time a very strong magical power gushed out from the fingertips, wrapping Hong Haier entirely, and even penetrating into his body, heading towards the Dan Tian.
"Boom!" Amidst the faint sound, a loud explosion-like noise was heard. The Red Boy indeed felt a surge of powerful energy emerging from his body, and then rushing up to counterattack, forcing the Holy Mother's divine power back in an instant.
"Pffft!" A mouthful of fresh blood spurted out from the Holy Mother's mouth, but it was unintentional, and she had accidentally gotten a slight injury, her face turning somewhat pale.
"Master!" Seeing that the Holy Mother was injured, Hong Haier was somewhat frightened. He let out a cry of surprise and found that he could move again.
"It's nothing." Wu didn't seem to hear him, lightly waved his hand and sighed: "I must have been mistaken."
He then looked at Hong Haier with a somewhat complex gaze and said, "Nephew, it's a good opportunity. I just investigated and found that the fire spirit power seems to have been refined a bit. I wonder if you've had any strange encounters recently?"
"What's wrong?" Hong Haier heard this, but instead widened his eyes and then shook his head: "Nothing, it's just that I've been feeling a bit sleepy lately, always having nightmares."
"Sleepy?" The Holy Mother heard this and was somewhat perplexed, reaching out to grab the Red Boy's left wrist.
Hong Haier felt a warm and gentle power entering his body, flowing through his limbs and the eight extraordinary meridians, circulating once before retreating.
"It's strange." The Holy Mother looked at the Red Child with a puzzled expression, and then her gaze stopped on his neck. It was the small black seal that had been obtained in Bichu Country that day, the Heishi. Now, however, the Heishi's appearance was somewhat unusual - it was no longer the original jet-black color, but rather a dark red glow seemed to be emanating from within the blackness, as if it were transforming into red.
"Good heavens!" Looking at the He Shi Bi, Nangong Shengmu was shocked again, and hastily calculated. After a while, he burst out laughing, saying: "What a wonderful coincidence! What a wonderful coincidence!"
He then smiled, saying, "The Holy Infant is a good opportunity. If it doesn't exceed expectations, the fire spirit power in your body will be refined within fifty years."
"Ah?" Hong Haier's face changed, and he looked at Wudang Shengmu, then hurriedly took off the He Shi Bi from his neck and asked: "Master is saying..."
"It is indeed." The Holy Mother nodded upon hearing the words, and then said: "However, there are still some causal conditions in this. Nephew, if you have free time, go to Flame Mountain to try your luck."
"Flaming Mountain?" But in Hong Haier's heart, he was secretly thinking, "You think I don't want to? Actually, the last time I went there, I was already rejected." He was about to speak when he discovered that beside him, there was still the shadow of the Unborn Holy Mother, who had left behind two books placed next to Hong Haier...
