Chapter 221 Setting up a trap
Yun Xuanzi followed the young Taoist into the main hall.
Inside the hall, a large group of people sat down.
Yun Xuanzi glanced around and saw that there were as many as thirty people.
In front of the main hall, an old Taoist priest sat cross-legged facing the crowd, with an offering table behind him on which were the characters for Heaven and Earth.
The old Taoist priest could tell at a glance that this patriarch was definitely not someone like Yu Chen Dao Ren or Feng Qing Zi.
As for whether it was Chen Chunan himself, she wasn't sure.
This overwhelming and unfathomable aura made her feel a tightness in her chest.
As soon as she stood still, the eyes of the head patriarch and the disciples lined up on both sides all turned to her.
In an instant, all thirty-one pairs of eyes turned to Yun Xuanzi.
Yun Xuanzi felt as if he were being pricked by needles, and his knees buckled uncontrollably, causing him to kneel down on the ground.
"Zhu Yunxuan of the Western Liang Women's Kingdom pays respects to the immortal!"
Yun Xuanzi prostrated himself and kowtowed.
There was a water stain where his forehead touched the floor tiles.
Sitting at the head of the table, Zhen Yuanzi looked at Yun Xuanzi and said softly, "I know why you've come. But we have no master-disciple relationship. I'll have my servant give you some silver. You should go home now."
?
Yun Xuanzi suddenly raised his head and asked, "Let me go home?"
Then will you let me in?
But she is just a mortal right now, while the disciples in this temple are all skilled in cultivation and possess supernatural powers.
The patriarch before her was even more unfathomable, and she dared not be presumptuous.
"This disciple sincerely seeks the Way! I beg the Ancestral Master for mercy!"
Yun Xuanzi has already entered the temple, and the Dao fruit is within reach. How could she be willing to retreat now?
"Alas, I have forty-eight disciples under my tutelage, and now that I have taken them all in, you are indeed not my disciple. Furthermore, my Taoist temple is all of the Qian (male) school, while your entry would be of the Kun (female) school, which is quite inappropriate."
Although the patriarch's gaze was ruthless, he still explained the reason.
Having exhausted all other options, Yun Xuanzi braced himself and said, "This disciple has endured countless hardships and traveled for over three months to finally arrive at the Immortal Mountain. I beg the Ancestor to have mercy and accept me as a disciple. Even if it means doing menial tasks, I will gladly accept it!"
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said to the boy, "Mingyue, this woman has no master-disciple relationship with me. Let her rest for the night and recuperate. Also, give her a good horse and some provisions and silver, and let her leave the temple. Tomorrow, at the Shangqing Heavenly Palace, I will hear the Primordial Heavenly Venerable expound the Hunyuan Dao Fruit. I will be going with your forty-six senior brothers. You and your senior brother Qingfeng will stay here. Be careful."
The Bright Moon Boy bowed and accepted the order: "Disciple obeys."
Immediately afterwards, Zhen Yuanzi and his thirty disciples vanished without a trace.
Upon hearing the first half of Zhen Yuanzi's words, Yun Xuanzi, who was kneeling on the ground, felt his heart sink.
Upon hearing the second half of the sentence, the eyes that were staring at the floor tiles suddenly became frighteningly bright.
When the Taoist temple heard what Zhenyuan Daxian said, he only had forty-eight disciples. If he took forty-six away at once, wouldn't he only have two left?
Although the boy looked somewhat ethereal, he didn't use any supernatural powers to lead me inside, so he probably didn't have much cultivation.
With only two servants guarding the house, wouldn't I have a chance?
Just as she was harboring her own evil intentions, Mingyue Tongzi lightly kicked her shoe in an annoyed manner.
"Get up! The Patriarch is gone. Who are you kneeling before? I thought you were a lucky person who would be accepted by the Patriarch. Tsk tsk!"
After Mingyue finished speaking, she walked away on her own.
Upon hearing that his patriarch had left, Yun Xuanzi immediately got up.
He then glanced at the two characters "Heaven and Earth" that were being worshipped, and then followed the Bright Moon Boy like a shadow.
...
The Mind Monkey, who was watching this place closely, laughed so hard that he almost fell over when he saw that the Consciousness God Chen Chunan's actions, which were full of mistakes, could still be believed by Yun Xuanzi.
"Where did you find the Shangqing Heavenly Palace and the Primordial Heavenly Venerable? You're just taking advantage of the locals who don't understand. Anyone from a previous life would immediately know you're talking nonsense."
After laughing, the restless mind began to deduce the purpose of the consciousness.
These thirty Dao Fruits combine to form the number six and five, which is the Kun (Earth) element, yet only one Yang (Yang) is born.
Therefore, only one out of thirty attainments is truly attainable.
Is this consciousness trying to use this person's hand to evolve the "Peeling" technique, so that the yang energy will return and the true fruit will be revealed?
However, this is not in accordance with the Dao. Yun Xuanzi was not Chen Chunan's teacher; he achieved his Dao through the hands of others, not through his own efforts.
Ultimately, it is the mind that is conscious, always believing only in its own perceptions, and making decisions based on perceptions is not always correct.
The ape then withdrew its gaze and turned to look at the Jade Dust Daoist, who had already completed the great formation.
This person was indeed pitiful. Because he rashly attacked and ruined Feng Qingzi's plan, he was tormented beyond recognition by Feng Qingzi's lustful desires.
I don't know if things will be alright after I get out.
At this moment, Daoist Yu Chen's eyes were filled with extreme madness.
"It's done! I've succeeded! The grand formation is complete, and the Dao Fruit is mine!"
"Activate! Spirit-Seizing Array, activate!"
"Spellcasting! Start casting it too!"
Beams of light suddenly rose from the ground.
The area covered a radius of over a hundred miles, which was quite remarkable, considering that Daoist Yuchen was able to set up the formation with such care.
The sudden burst of light left Suiyun and Feng Qingzi completely bewildered.
"Where did this formation come from?"
Feng Qingzi's heart pounded wildly. Such a grand formation must be a Daoist technique.
He had never liked building formations before, and for a moment he didn't recognize the Spirit-Seizing Formation.
"It must have been my old scoundrel master or Daoist Yuchen who made the move! But he probably doesn't know that there are still immortals present today, nor does he know that the new Daoist Master has already recovered some of his strength. He set up a great formation to trap us, while he goes to take the new Daoist Master himself? I'm afraid he doesn't have the teeth to back it up!"
He ascended to heaven too early; this grand formation was only developed after his ascension, so he was unfamiliar with it at the time.
They can only rely on their own expertise in formations to deduce it.
Within moments his face darkened: "This formation is specifically designed to target the soul; it intends to devour the souls and even the Dao fruits of those within its confines for its own use. What a vicious scheme!"
"What should we do? This formation isn't very strong. If we work together, we should be able to break it."
Feng Qingzi turned her head to look at Sui Yun.
Sui Yun snorted coldly: "What's the rush? He must not have discovered us, otherwise how dare he act so presumptuously in front of us? Right now we're in the dark, and he's in the light. We might as well sit back and watch the two tigers fight!"
Sit on the mountain and watch the tiger fight?
Feng Qingzi's expression was strange. "Yu Chen Dao Ren's cultivation level is just like that?"
It's probably like ants provoking a real dragon!
I'm really afraid that the new leader of the Dao could crush him with a flick of his wrist!
Just as the two were talking.
A crimson cursed light suddenly descended from the sky and plunged straight into Chen Sanzang's fontanelle.
Upon seeing this scene, Feng Qingzi's expression changed drastically.
The art of witchcraft is extremely mysterious; even mortals who know how to use it can kill immortals.
These methods, passed down from ancient times, are the most difficult to guard against, as they are the means by which our ancestors communicated with the power of heaven and earth.
This new leader of the Dao, lest he actually fall into their trap!
At this moment, Chen Sanzang, who was worried about his enemy Feng Qingzi, was sitting cross-legged in his Niwan Palace, holding the sudden blood-red curse energy in his hand with a puzzled expression.
"A curse? Who's trying to harm me?"
