Chapter 365: I'll send you to the Conferred God List, what do you think? (4400)
Yang Jian grunted and struggled, pushing the purple-gold and red gourd to the border of the Mount Sumeru formation.
I was shocked to find that this place had been sealed off by a large formation.
He realized something was wrong.
If he stayed here for a long time and there was no news of his appearance in the ancient times, the Two Saints of the West would know without any guessing that he was the one who did something.
Thinking of this, he took out the Biyi Spirit Talisman and sent a message to Su Daji: "Su Daji, where are you now?"
The message received a response the moment it was sent.
[I'm still helping you with things in Dongsheng Shenzhou. It's such a tough job. Now I'm being hunted by that demon-killing ancestor. He's almost killed all the Rakshasa caravans.]
[Don't worry about the Rakshasa caravan. Now that Taixuan has shown up, the plan has already worked. Get out of here quickly. Use my identity to recruit Taixuan and give him an important position in the Heavenly Court.]
【What trouble did you get into? 】
Su Daji instantly realized that something was wrong, and she asked about it immediately because she was very alert.
[There is no trouble at all. It is the old man Jie Yin who is going to convert Tai Xuan to the Western Religion. If he is really converted, then all our efforts will be in vain.]
Yang Jian laughed it off. What he said was of course true, but he didn't want to tell Su Daji the truth.
After explaining things to Su Daji.
He tentatively caught a fat bird and threw it out, only to see the bird hit the formation, immediately causing ripples. Then the formation counterattacked and beat the bird into a burnt piece, emitting bursts of meaty aroma.
Less than a moment later, a group of monks came to investigate the formation.
Yang Jian could only pull over a leaf to cover himself and the purple-gold-red gourd to hide his tracks.
"Brother, what triggered the formation?"
A voice came.
Another voice said, "He is a fool. Senior Brother Dizang is making a big fuss. Just because something ugly happened, he asked us to seal the mountain and set the formation to the highest level. Any living creature will trigger the formation. He is happy to sit in the Merit Pond leisurely, while we have to run around~~"
The monk grumbled as he picked up the burnt bird and wiped off the burnt feathers, revealing the fragrant and tender flesh.
He couldn't help but feel his mouth watering and his index finger twitching.
"Junior brother, we are not as good as ~"
The monk gestured.
I heard another monk say, "Brother, you can't do that. Eating meat in the temple is equivalent to breaking the precepts. The absurd incident between Brother Ananda and the Deer Arhat is just before us. If we break the precepts, we will be in trouble. Brother Ksitigarbha will definitely not let us off easily."
"So, Junior Brother, do you mean to let this delicious food turn into ashes? This is a gift from heaven. If you don't take it, your Zen mind will be tarnished."
"Brother, you misunderstood. What I meant was that we can go out to eat. Eating out does not count as breaking the precepts."
After saying this, he took out the talisman and created a hole in the formation, and the two monks passed through.
Just as the leading monk stepped over, he frowned.
"What's wrong, senior brother?"
"Nothing happened. It turns out that the ground here is soft. I sank quite deep into the ground just now."
Under his feet, there was a footprint one foot deep.
Afterwards, the two monks each took half of the fat bird and started eating as if no one was around.
After the two of them had finished eating, they rubbed the grease off their fingers with relish before returning to the formation.
Unexpectedly, the two of them had just returned.
Dizang appeared in an instant, and said with a gloomy face: "Did you just open the formation here?"
The two monks did not dare to hide anything and confessed what had just happened honestly.
Upon hearing this, Dizang searched the place carefully, but found nothing in the end.
"You guys should guard well. If you do it again, I will not let you off easily."
~~~~~
After the monks left.
A pitch-black ball was pushed up from the deep footprints, followed by a beetle.
It was Yang Jian and the purple gold and red gourd. He was worried that Ksitigarbha would see through them, but later he realized that his worry was totally unnecessary. After all, the magic of the seventy-two transformations was beyond the ability of Ksitigarbha to see through.
After leaving the formation, like a young swallow flying into the forest, Yang Jian picked up the purple-gold and red gourd, took a step forward, and ran freely.
He wanted to find a place to refine the golden lotus of merit for the List of Gods.
~~~~
The ruined merit pond.
Ksitigarbha sat upright on the ground, his face showing neither sadness nor joy.
Beside him, a big white dog was crawling. It was Di Ting.
Its ears were pressed against the ground, as if it was exploring something.
"Master, that guy is gone."
Listen carefully to the Tao.
Dizang nodded and said, "I have just sent a message to the Saint Zhunti, informing him of the changes in the Merit Pond. Go and collect the foreign demon planted on the Sitting Deer Arhat, lest the two saints discover your whereabouts."
"Yes~"
Di Ting's figure disappeared.

The border between Uttarakuru and Xiniuhezhou is the city of Rakshasa.
Ever since the city lord obtained a precious fan and demonstrated its magical power many times, she was given the name Princess Iron Fan.
The business of Luosha City has been booming recently, but the city lord is not in a very good mood.
She felt that there was an invisible hand exerting influence on Luosha City, causing Luosha City to be involved in the dispute. Now it is deeply involved and it is difficult to escape.
"The city still needs a man to hold it up. It's hard for the city lord to control the situation in Luosha City alone. The people below are afraid of power but not virtue. The monsters who are close to it still obey orders honestly, but after following the caravan away, they start to have other thoughts, which led to this disaster. They have gained a lot of benefits, but in the end, when the crime was exposed, they still expected the city lord to clean up their mess."
In the city lord's mansion, maids gathered in groups of three or four, gossiping.
"If you ask me, it's all the caravan from Dongshen Shenzhou that deserves it. If they hadn't thought about making dirty money, they wouldn't have been caught. They used to drag their feet when paying tribute to the city, but now they're asking for help faster than anyone else."
A rabbit demon asked, "Do you think the city lord will save us?"
"Why are you so concerned about this, you slutty rabbit? Did you accept their dirty money?"
The rabbit demon's face turned pale, and after a while he murmured, "What they did was dirty, but the money was clean. After all, those who died were human beings, which is the best thing for our demon race. If you ask me, the Dongsheng Shenzhou caravan is the great hero of the demon race. They wiped out countless human cultivators without any effort."
"What you said does make sense, little rabbit. I heard that you gave all your money to a demon called Bull Demon King. Are you planning to pay money to become the demon king's wife?"
"No way, no way, the Bull Demon King likes the City Lord, I~I am not worthy of him!"
Several female fairies immediately showed curiosity on their faces, started gossiping, and were about to dig into the matter.
But he felt a chill coming over him, as if he had suddenly entered the cold winter from March, and it was so cold that it was uncanny.
When they looked back, they immediately discovered that their city lord had come behind them without them noticing.
The fairy girl knelt on the ground hurriedly.
They thought they were in great danger and were about to lose their lives, so they were about to open their mouths to beg for a way to live.
Then the city lord suddenly said, "Little rabbit, where is the Bull Demon King?"
"It is in the Moyun Cave in Jilei Mountain of Xiniuhezhou."
Tie Shan said thoughtfully, "Isn't that the cave of the former Thousand-Year-Old Fox King? The Fox King died suddenly three thousand years ago, and the cave was unexpectedly occupied by this Bull Demon. When I was looking for a husband before, he came to the city as a guest, but he never mentioned anything about Moyun Cave. I don't know why."
"This~"
The rabbit demon was a little at a loss when she heard this. She naturally didn't understand the Bull Demon King's deeper meaning. The Bull Demon King had some dealings with the Jade-faced Fox in Moyun Cave. Since he wanted to marry Iron Shan, he naturally wouldn't bring the Jade-faced Fox into the open.
The Bull Demon King knew Iron Fan's background, and he just wanted to use Iron Fan to climb up the ladder. As for the Jade-faced Fox, he was just using its resources to practice.
"The Bull Demon King is more than just that. He has an older brother, a green bull named One-horned King. I heard that he was taken as a mount by Taishang Laojun a few days ago. He is very powerful. If the princess can marry the Bull Demon King, she may be able to get help from Taishang Laojun. Rakshasa City will definitely be able to deal with those troubles well and will make further progress." The rabbit demon said bravely.
"You are still worrying about me, little guy. You have worked so hard."
Tie Shan said with a smile, turning the palm leaf fan in his hand slowly, his eyes full of meaning, "Many Rakshasas in the Dongsheng Shenzhou caravan have received the favor of the Bull Demon King, and you have also enjoyed a lot of blessings. Recently, the madman in Dongsheng Shenzhou who is known as the Demon-Subduing Patriarch has been clamoring to destroy our Rakshasas City, which has ruined the reputation of the Rakshasas caravan and made their business difficult. How do you think I should deal with it?"
"The Demon-Slaying Patriarch is only at the Celestial Immortal Realm, yet he dares to call himself the Patriarch. He is so arrogant. Princess, you can ask the Bull Demon King to take action. He will surely be able to kill him easily, thus spreading the prestige of Luosha City."
"Then I will send you to find the Bull Demon King to help me."
Tieshan said softly.
"How dare I trouble the city lord to see you off? I can do it myself~"
The rabbit demon said half of the words.
Then the palm-leaf fan was waved gently.
A sudden evil wind blew, and the rabbit demon was blown into the sky, with no one knowing whether he was alive or dead.
Tie Shan looked at the other female fairies with a cold expression: "You should behave yourself and don't get involved. Otherwise, you will die and I won't be able to protect you."
After saying that, she slowly left, holding the fan.
"I'm going to Dongsheng Shenzhou. You guys should take good care of the house and don't let any scoundrels cause trouble."
~~~~~
Dongsheng Shenzhou.
A few months ago, Taixuan killed all the Twelve Immortals of Wudang Mountain. Then he gathered his disciples, fought against demons and monsters, and hunted down the Rakshasa caravan.
The Rakshasa caravan traveled around Dongsheng Shenzhou, but the unlucky ones were the three thousand side gates.
The immortals in the three thousand side sects often bully their disciples on a daily basis. When the demon-slaying army led by Taixuan passed through, they reported the injustices of the mountain gate to Taixuan, resulting in the mountain gate where the three thousand side sects were located being cleared out.
These side sects do not have any powerful immortals, so it is naturally difficult for them to escape from Taixuan, who is at the celestial immortal level.
As for his disciples, they all came under Taixuan's command.
At this time, a behemoth had risen in Dongsheng Shenzhou. It was an army composed of hundreds of thousands of Qi-refining practitioners, including nearly a thousand immortals and nearly a hundred earthly immortals. It was clearly a force that should not be underestimated.
The Rakshasa caravan had been forced into the territory of East Kunlun. If they went any further, they would have to cross the West Sea and enter the West Kunlun territory of Xiniu Hezhou.
The Queen Mother of the West was so famous that no one was allowed to enter West Kunlun.
The Rakshasa caravan has reached a desperate situation.
"Senior Yang Yang Yang, Yuxu Palace is unwilling to open its gates to protect us. Senior has to do it himself."
The caravan manager looked at the gorgeous lady in front of him and said.
In his eyes, this mysterious woman was omnipotent.
As long as one of them shows up, things that were previously impossible can be turned into magic.
For example, he would defraud materials from the disciples, and use his tricks to lure those from the side sects to agree, so that they would join forces to harm the disciples.
It was a pity that the truth was revealed, and among these disciples there appeared a strong man like Taixuan, who chased them to the point where they had no way to go up to the sky or down to the earth.
"It's been over a month since we asked Luosha City for help. Why hasn't any help arrived yet?"
Su Daji asked.
She used the alias Yang Yang Yang and took the opportunity to stir up disputes and start a killing.
"The city lord has replied a few days ago, saying that she will send someone over, asking us to hold on for the time being and wait for her to come here to negotiate with the Demon-Slaying Patriarch."
The caravan manager said with difficulty: "Distant water cannot quench immediate thirst. The demon-slaying coalition is coming with great force. By the time Luosha City's help arrives, we will have been beheaded."
Su Daji nodded: "I see, that's easy to deal with. I have a plan that should be able to solve the current dilemma."
"Appreciate further details."
"Gather all the caravan members here, and you will know soon."
After the caravan leader gathers everyone.
Su Daji immediately used her magic to control everyone, forcing them to seal off their own cultivation, and tied them up with ropes.
"Senior, can this method really help us escape from this disaster?"
the caravan supervisor asked.
"What do you mean by escaped? I just made full use of you."
Su Daji laughed.
Then, she erased everyone's memory of her and flew away, pretending to leave.
When he turned around again, he had turned into Yang Jian, dressed in brocade and looking handsome and elegant.
She looked surprised: "Why did you tie yourselves up?"
The Rakshasas were about to explain, but their mouths were quickly blocked by lumps of earth and rocks.
Su Daji pulled the rope and dragged thousands of Rakshasas towards the direction of the demon-killing coalition.
Taixuan was in the coalition forces, setting up camp, making various deployments, and sending many Qi-refining practitioners to form a formation and search the mountain.
Suddenly, a disciple from Wudang Mountain came to report: "Master, those Rakshasas have been captured and are outside the camp!"
Tai Xuan was shocked: "Who has such ability?"
He was about to ask his disciples to welcome him in, but then he thought that this man might have great supernatural powers, so he went out to welcome him in person.
Then he stood up and went out into the battle.
But in front of him, he saw a young man in brocade clothes. He had an extraordinary temperament and looked like a god.
Tai Xuan did not dare to be careless, and bowed his hands and said: "My fellow Taoist has supernatural powers. We have been chasing these Rakshasas for a long time, but we have not been able to capture them. It is really extraordinary that you can capture these demons. I am Tai Xuan, and I have the reputation of the Demon-Slaying Grandmaster only because of the support of my fellow Taoists. I wonder where you are cultivating in seclusion?"
The man smiled and said, "I am Yang Jian, and I have come to give you a chance. These Rakshasas are a gift for you. Please accept them."
Yang Jian!
The Taixuan Lingtai was shaking as if the sea was turning upside down. He had already heard the mighty reputation of Yang Jian like thunder in his ears.
He once thought that Yang Jian would definitely find him and recruit him.
After all, what he did was extremely consistent with the great cause of deification.
But I didn't expect Yang Jian to appear like this.
With one move, he tied up all the Rakshasas that he had been chasing after.
"It's you who are here in person. I'm sorry for being so rude. Please forgive me. It would be a bit rude of Taixuan if I don't accept such a generous gift from you."
Taixuan then called his disciples to suppress the Rakshasas.
He searched among the Rakshasas with his frown deepening.
One person is missing!
"What are you looking for, fellow Daoist? But is there something wrong with these Rakshasas?"
Tai Xuan came back to his senses and realized that Yang Jian was asking him. He hurriedly said, "No problem. I was just shocked by the True Lord's tricks. I couldn't control myself for a while and was a little distracted."
Su Daji naturally knew what Taixuan was looking for, and that was her.
After all, she has done many evil things. If her true face is revealed, who knows what the consequences will be.
This thought only flashed through her mind. She knew that Taixuan was of great importance and she could not play with it casually.
"The True Lord just said there was a good fortune, I wonder what it was?"
Taixuan asked.
Su Daji: "I'll send you to the Conferred God List, what do you think, Taoist friend?"
