Chapter 991: Rewards based on merit, Nine Thousand Years of Flat Peach
“Boom!”
A hundred-foot-long waves suddenly exploded on the blue sea, and a huge dragon leaping out of the sea like the Great Wall Lying in mid-air, the dragon's head held high looked coldly at the Seven Immortals, bringing them strong mental pressure.
"Let my son go immediately."
A loud and majestic voice came from the dragon's head, like rolling thunder, rushing straight to the shore.
"Father, save me." Hua Long shouted very cooperatively.
"Don't worry, my son, as a father I will keep you safe." The Dragon King of the East China Sea shouted.
"Pfft."
Qin Yao held the Qingsuo Sword and struck the Hualong back hard with the sword. The blade cut through the flesh and made a long wound, with scarlet blood. Suddenly it burst out.
"Ah!!!" Hualong screamed, shocked and angry, but fortunately he did not lose his mind and reveal the bitter plot.
It’s just...
He was deeply suspicious, was this still a trick?
He clearly felt Han Xiangzi's undisguised murderous intention. If his father was indifferent, this beast would definitely be ruthless.
"Damn it." The Dragon King of the East China Sea roared: "Han Xiangzi, how dare you do something to my son!"
When the Dragon King was angry, the color of the sky and the earth changed, and the blue sea made huge waves, and the water even It turned into a blue-black color, full of deathly silence and danger.
Qin Yao placed the sword on Hualong's neck and said calmly: "Stop."
The huge wave that was about to drown the immortals hung above their heads. The giant dragon transformed into a human form with a majestic head and horns. His majestic cheeks were full of anger: "Han Xiangzi, let my son go quickly." , otherwise I will cut you into pieces even if I chase you to the end of the world."
Qin Yao said in a solemn voice: "You can let him go! As long as you hand over the Black Dragon Pearl, I will let him go."
"Black Dragon Ball? What Black Dragon Ball?" the Dragon King said with a frown.
“Stop pretending, we already know.” Qin Yao looked indifferent: “Isn’t the confidence that you dare to block the East China Sea and resist the heaven come from this magic bead?”
"It's nonsense." The Dragon King said sternly: "I don't even know what this is."
Qin Yao's face showed an expression that seemed to be a smile but not a smile: "Really...then if I tell you, Is the black dragon ball in your hand a fake?"
"Impossible. "The Dragon King spoke subconsciously, and then reacted suddenly: "I mean, the black dragon ball in your mouth cannot be here with me!"
Qin Yao reached out and patted Hualong's head, and said with a smile: " Did you see it?"
Hualong: "..."
Based on his understanding of the Dragon King, the answer to his confusion and doubts was already given at that moment.
It cannot be repaired.
"Father, hand over the Black Dragon Ball." Hualong fell to his knees with a bang, his eyes filled with mist, and he was extremely emotional.
"The traitor." The Dragon King was furious, pointed at his nose and cursed: "You actually believe in outsiders and refuse to believe in your father?"
Hua Long felt a thump in his heart. His soul seemed to be sinking into the netherworld, and he murmured: "Father, isn't my child's life worth less than a magic bead?"
"How many times do you want me to say this?"
The Dragon King shouted with an inward look: "I have never seen it, I have never seen that magic bead."
Hua Long seemed to have been sucked away. His spine and body were limp on the ground, his eyes filled with despair.
Qin Yao glanced at Zhang Guo who was not far away. The moment he turned back, he shouted loudly: "All the immortals, cross the sea!"
"Cross the sea!"
< br>
The other six immortals roared and transformed into streams of light, rushing straight into the sea.
“You don’t overestimate your capabilities.” The Dragon King of the East China Sea sneered, and with a wave of his hand, countless dark blue translucent water swords suddenly flew out of the sea. The sword tips were aimed at the seven rays of fairy light coming at high speed, and then The overwhelming lasing passed by.
"Dang Dang Dang Dang..."
The seven immortals each danced their magic weapons to defend themselves airtight.
The translucent blue water sword hit the light curtains, making a terrifying roar.
"Rush over!" Qin Yao used the immortal blood in his body as fuel in exchange for a short burst of energy, and quickly moved forward against the ice sword that filled the sky with wind and snow.
With him as an example, the other six immortals rushed forward in this self-harming way, and arrived at the Dragon King's side in the blink of an eye.
The Dragon King frowned, and fought with the seven immortals with his bare hands. The dazzling immortal energy turned into various colored beams of light, shining over the sea.
At the same time, Zhang Guo, holding a three-pointed two-edged knife, quietly came behind the lost Hua Long and suddenly swung the knife.
The long knife cut through the air, revealing his whereabouts, but Hualong, who was in a daze, finally slowed down for a moment, and the sharp blade slashed hard on his neck, and a head with an unbelievable look flew into the air. Flying up, rolling down on the beach with blood.
"Successful, I succeeded." Zhang Guo was extremely excited, with a face full of madness.
In mid-air, the Dragon King, who was fighting fiercely with the Seven Immortals, followed the sound. After seeing the separated dragon body, his mind went blank for a moment.
In this brief moment, Qin Yao used himself as the leader, drawing the power of the other six immortals to hit the Dragon King hard.
"Boom!"
The shocking fairy energy light group bombarded the Dragon King and exploded suddenly. The Dragon King was immediately blown to pieces, like leaves dragged by the strong wind, and was not affected by the explosion. Controlled flying to the ground.
"Kill him." Qin Yao used all his strength to activate the divine power in his body, and the Qingsuo sword in his hand quickly extended a sharp sword light, piercing the Dragon King's head from top to bottom.
"Ding."
When the sword light was about to pierce the Dragon King's head, a loud voice sounded between heaven and earth.
As if the words were followed, the people, gods, and dragons present were all frozen in place.
Including Qin Yao’s extended sword light...
"Seal."
After a moment, the voice spoke again. The fairy light on the immortals quickly restrained, and the exposed Qingsuo sword light collapsed directly.
"Explanation." A shining golden Buddha appeared from the sky, holding flower seals in his hands, smiling and speaking human words.
Man, God, and dragon regained their freedom at the same time. They all looked up into the sky and bowed and saluted: "Greetings to the Buddha."
The Buddha turned his wrist, with his palm facing the direction of the Dragon King. An inexplicable suction force appeared out of thin air, and a pure black magic bead the size of a human head was pulled out from the Dragon King's body, releasing streams of black smoke...
"Zhang Guo, why did you kill Hualong?" Buddha turned his hands and put away the black dragon ball, lowering his eyes and asked.
Zhang Guo held his head high and said: "Because he is an evil dragon."
Buddha: "..."
What a simple reason.
But there is nothing wrong with it.
"Buddha, am I doing justice for heaven?" Zhang Guo asked calmly and fearlessly.
The Buddha was silent for a moment and said: "Forget it."
Don't say anything about the Eight Immortals or the Eight Immortals, Hualong is dead now, even the Buddha will not die for one The clear dragon clan spoke out. Zhang Guo laughed and said: "Does that count as accumulating good deeds?"
Buddha said helplessly: "It counts."
Zhang Guo exhaled a breath, as if he had finished a matter on his mind, and bowed in the direction of the Seven Immortals: "Please, all the Immortals, please give me a chance to be immortal for the sake of me doing good deeds on behalf of Heaven and accumulating good deeds."
The seven immortals looked at each other.
Lan Caihe was closer to Zhang Guo after all, and said slowly: "I think it's okay."
Qin Yao nodded: "I think it's okay too. If there are good deeds, then Without reward, who will be willing to do good deeds in the future?”
Tieguai Li pursed his lips and said, “Let’s talk about this later, there are more important things now.”
The other immortals looked at the Dragon King of the East China Sea who stood up slowly, and they all fell silent.
Tieguai Li then looked up at the Buddha and said in a deep voice: "Even though the Dragon King of the East China Sea was bewitched by the Black Dragon Ball and blocked the East China Sea for such a long time, he still indirectly killed countless people who were struggling with the plague. , Why did Buddha want to save him?”
Buddha said leisurely: “Actually, everything you are experiencing now is between me and Yu. The emperor joined forces to test the three realms of gods, humans and demons
The main purpose is to see if these three creatures can transcend their karma, get rid of their resentment, and let go of their obsessions
The seven of you. In addition, Zhang Guo won, and the Dragon King of the East China Sea lost the moment he was bewitched by the Black Dragon Pearl. He was trapped in it and lost until the end."
Tieguai Li: "..."
If it weren't for the huge difference in strength between the two of them, he would have cursed him now.
Is there such a test for humans, gods and demons?
Putting the lives of ordinary people to the test?
The other immortals had different expressions, no one answered, and the scene fell into a strange silence for a while.
Fortunately, the Buddha's face was not made of flesh and was relatively strong. He turned a blind eye to this special atmosphere. He turned to look at the Dragon King of the East China Sea and asked in a deep voice: "You are delusional about being compatible with the devil and conquering the divine world. What is the result?"
East China Sea The Dragon King knelt on the ground and said sadly: "It is because of my weak Taoist heart that I have suffered this calamity. Please punish me, Lord Buddha."< br>
Buddha shook his head and said: "You are the righteous god of heaven. Even if you need to be punished, it should not be punished by me. You should go to heaven to find the Jade Emperor to admit your mistake."
"Yes, Buddha . ”
The Dragon King of the East China Sea suddenly stood up, transformed into a giant dragon, and twisted its body towards the sky.
"Do you still have any questions?" When the tail of the Dragon King of the East China Sea disappeared into the clouds, the Buddha looked directly at the Seven Immortals.
Then, seeing the Seven Immortals speechless and Zhang Guo speechless, the Buddha said: "Although this is a trial, the plague is real, and the medicine mountain is also real. You hurry up and collect medicine from the medicine mountain. The common people who are suffering from the plague are still waiting for you."
"Yes, Buddha," the seven immortals said at the same time.
The Buddha nodded slightly and immediately disappeared into the air.
“Everyone, can we talk about my affairs now?” Zhang Guo said with a flattering look on his face.
Qin Yao glanced at the other immortal families and said seriously: "There are eight immortals, but now there are only seven immortals. It feels unsatisfactory.
After collecting the elixir and saving the people, we might as well go to heaven to ask the Jade Emperor , promoted Zhang Guo As one of the Eight Immortals, are you on the same level as me?
Zhang Guo, Zhang Guo, this name is more pleasant to the ears than Hua Long."
Hearing this, Zhang Guo looked at it. His eyes were filled with gratitude.
Han Xiangzi is a man of his word. He promised that he would be one of the Eight Immortals, but turned around and actually made this suggestion.
As the core of the Eight Immortals team, his words still carry a lot of weight to other immortals.
“I agree.”
Lan Caihe was the first to express his stance.
Lu Dongbin, He Xiangu, and Cao Guojiu, as old friends of Han Xiangzi, naturally would not refute his face.
Han Zhongli did not dare to stab Han Xiangzi in the back because of the Black Dragon Pearl, so six of the seven immortals agreed, leaving only Tieguai Li.
"That's all, you all agreed, can I still refuse?" Facing the eyes in front of him, Tieguai Li said helplessly.
"Great, great..." Zhang Guo jumped up and down excitedly.
Don’t blame him for being impatient. Anyone who longs for immortality would have the same reaction when faced with such a good thing.
Even...even more crazy.
Three months later.
The Seven Immortals took Zhang Guo to rescue the people affected by the plague and eliminated the last source of infection. Then they stepped on the auspicious clouds and took him up into the sky, and were guided by the Taibai Venus directly into the Lingxiao Palace.
"Meet the Jade Emperor."
"No need to be polite, gentlemen." The Jade Emperor raised his hand and said with a smile: "Congratulations on completing the mission of crossing the East China Sea and rescuing all people."
As soon as these words came out, the Seven Immortals suddenly laughed, and the Lingxiao Palace was filled with joy.
"It all depends on God's blessing, otherwise the journey would not have been so smooth." Tieguai Li said with his hands in hand.
‘This is just confusing right and wrong. The success has nothing to do with God. It all depends on my prophet. ’ Qin Yao couldn’t help complaining in his heart.
On the Dragon Throne, the Jade Emperor’s smile became even brighter. He was obviously very satisfied with Tieguai Li’s answer. He waved his hand and said, “This is due to both God’s blessing and your own efforts, especially yours and yours. Han Xiangzi, the two of you played a key role in this."
After hearing him talk about himself, Qin Yao immediately stepped out and said with his hands in his hands: "Thank you for your praise, Xiaoxian is not worthy of it. "
Jade Emperor: "There is no need to be modest. I have seen all the efforts you have made. I will reward you for your merits and punishments for your mistakes. The way to rule is to give Tieguai Li and Han Xiangzi nine thousand. One year's flat peach each Give each of the other five immortals a six-thousand-year-old flat peach as a reward for their merits."
After that, the seven fairies came over holding seven jade plates and presented the flat peaches in the jade plates. In front of all the immortals.
Qin Yao was stunned for a moment.
I really didn’t expect such a surprise in the end.
After all, in the original work, the Eight Immortals were fooled like fools. Not only were they not rewarded, but even the temples built in the human world were deprived of incense.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." After coming back to his senses, Qin Yao and the other immortals put away the peaches and bowed to express their thanks.
"This is what you deserve." The Jade Emperor said, suddenly turning his head to look at Zhang Guo, who was full of envy, and asked: "How did you bring him up?"
"Report to the Jade Emperor." Qin Yao responded: "The Eight Immortals are absent and the white jade is flawed. We would like to ask for a favor for Zhang Guo. Please allow your majesty to consider his contribution to slaying the evil dragon and following us to save the people." He joins the ranks of the Eight Immortals."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said: "Xiao Zi, go to the flat peach garden and fetch a three thousand year old flat peach and give it to Zhang Guo."
"Yes, Your Majesty." The purple-clothed fairy bowed and took the lead. Immediately, colorful ribbons fluttered and flew out of the palace.
"Thank you, Your Majesty, thank you, Your Majesty." Zhang Guo was so happy that he knelt down on the ground with a thud, bowed three times and kowtowed.
The Jade Emperor laughed loudly, waved his hand and said: "Get up, get up, kneeling down is not popular in heaven."
Zhang Guo climbed up quickly with a smile on his face.
Soon, the fairy in purple flew back dragging a jade plate and delivered the flat peaches that ripen every three thousand years to Zhang Guo...
