Chapter 254 259, Leaking the Secret, Green Snake and White Snake
"Great Sage, with my current strength, can I be a general in heaven?"
Ouyang Feng once again came to the foot of the Five Elements Mountain to bring fruits and wine to the Monkey King, and to verify his current level.
"Well……"
Sun Wukong drank a pot of Western wine, wiped the corners of his mouth, and said with a smile:
"You young man, why are you still so obsessed with power? You're always thinking about becoming an official? Didn't I tell you long ago that being an official in heaven is not as good as being a free and easy king in the mountains?"
Ouyang Feng said: "There are good things in heaven."
"There are good things, but you have no family background, so you won't get any of them." Sun Wukong said with a smile, "Unless you want to learn from me... But with your current strength, you can't learn!"
"My current strength is still nothing in the sky?"
"That's not the case. You are more than qualified to be a vanguard general now."
"Vanguard General? Does that mean I can be compared with the Giant Spirit God?"
"Haha, in terms of strength, you are definitely not as good as that old fellow Giant Spirit. But you are good at martial arts, and your physique has become a little bit indestructible. If we really fight, I'm afraid he will be no match for you."
The Giant Spirit is a true immortal, but Ouyang Feng has not yet cultivated the "Golden Elixir".
But realm does not represent strength.
Because the "Golden Elixir" path that Ouyang Feng pursued is an extremely rare path to great supernatural powers, there are very few people who can achieve enlightenment with the Golden Elixir. Most immortals focus on one of the essence, energy and spirit, and use the other two as auxiliary. Although they can achieve immortality, they are far inferior to the perfect and flawless "Golden Elixir", and their supernatural powers are inevitably much inferior.
Otherwise, Sun Wukong would not have said that there are many gods in the sky. When it comes to their real abilities, they can only be described as "farting to add wind".
"Don't worry, either."
Sun Wukong ate another lychee and said with a smile:
"Every time I see you, your cultivation has improved a lot compared to the last time. Although your progress is a little slow, you are taking one step at a time and walking very steadily. You are also refining your body and honing your magical powers and martial arts. Your skills are much stronger than those immortals who only know how to practice in seclusion or become immortals by taking elixirs. If you achieve enlightenment in the future, you will also be a great magical power. By then..."
He winked and said:
"You first occupy the mountain and become the king in the mortal world, and oppose the Heavenly Court. If the Heavenly Court feels that sending troops to attack you is not worthwhile, they may try to recruit you. But with my previous experience, the Heavenly Court will not be too stingy when recruiting capable people. You may be able to get a good position with the opportunity to attend the Peach Banquet. Of course, rebellion is a bit risky. If you can't withstand the attack from the Heavenly Court, then everything will be over."
Rebellion and seeking amnesty, is this path more than just “a little” risky?
That means there is a risk of death or even extinction of the entire family!
Not everyone is like you, the Great Sage, who has a good physique that allows him to remain unscathed on the demon-slaying stage and survive in the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
Ouyang Feng muttered to himself, but still bowed to the Great Sage:
"Thank you for your teachings, Great Saint."
"Don't thank me. I'm just teaching the kids bad habits."
The Great Sage laughed and said:
"But if I, Old Sun, am lucky enough to escape this disaster on the day you raise the flag, I can still say a few good words for you. Don't look at how embarrassed I am now, but I made a lot of friends in heaven back then, and I also have many acquaintances who can talk to you."
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"Then I would like to thank the Great Sage in advance."
Thinking that it would be only a few years before the Great Sage was released from prison, he transmitted his message again:
"When you escape from the calamity, Great Sage, you must not wear a hat. No matter who gives you a hat, no matter how beautiful it looks, you must not wear it."
Sun Wukong is indeed a bit unruly.
But what qualifications does Tang Seng, a guy who cannot distinguish between right and wrong, good and evil, who is timid and afraid of trouble, who always blames others when encountering trouble and never dares to take responsibility, and who always pushes everything onto his apprentice, whether it is dying or taking the blame, have to torture Monkey King at will?
Ouyang Feng sought immortality not to be submissive, but to live a carefree and happy life.
Monkey King was his childhood idol and he got along well with him now, so he couldn't bear to see Monkey King suffer from the Tightening Curse in the future, so he decided to give him some advice.
"No hat?"
Brother Monkey was a little stunned. Somehow, when he heard what Ouyang Feng said, his heart tightened and he had a bad feeling.
Sun Wukong is not good at divination.
However, with his supernatural powers, anything that could trigger his inspiration and make him instinctively have a bad premonition must be no trivial matter.
At that moment, he glanced at Ouyang Feng subtly and said with a smile:
"I didn't expect you to know how to tell fortunes... Back then, I only wanted to learn the way to immortality, but I didn't learn these fancy techniques... Thank you for reminding me, I will definitely keep it in mind."
He reminded quietly:
"If you are not good enough in Taoism and reveal the secrets of heaven, there will be disaster. Remember, this matter must not be mentioned again."
Ouyang Feng nodded and said:
"I know."
After saying that, he bowed to the monkey, said goodbye and left.
After leaving the Five Elements Mountain, he headed west again until he reached Lingxuzi's cave. He released Lingxuzi and asked him to go back to the mountain to collect a batch of mature elixirs. Then he brought the wolf demon back to the paradise of the cave and asked the wolf demon to refine some elixirs that could replenish qi and strengthen the body, preparing to distribute them as rewards to his soldiers and Huashan disciples.
……
Lin'an Prefecture, on the shore of West Lake.
At the end of the Broken Bridge, on the third-floor terrace of a restaurant, Ouyang Feng was holding a partridge-spotted Jianzhan tea bowl, sipping tea while admiring the snowy scenery of the Broken Bridge.
It's a whole new world.
The time and space coordinates come from the bronze gate, which is one of the many worlds marked by the bronze gate.
However, Ouyang Feng did not know the foundation of this world.
Because when the bronze gate drifted in time and space, although it marked many worlds, not every world had people or objects sucked into the paradise. There were also many worlds that the bronze gate only marked but did not absorb any living beings or matter.
Ouyang Feng has almost explored the known world marked by the bronze gate.
He decided to carefully explore the remaining worlds whose origins he had unknown.
Ouyang Feng feels pretty good about this new world.
The essence of heaven and earth is pure and active, not inferior to that of a blessed place.
The era was actually the Southern Song Dynasty, but there were no martial arts masters to be seen among the common people.
The vital energy of heaven and earth is so active, but there are no martial arts masters. Ouyang Feng guessed that the extraordinary power in this world may not be martial arts, but cultivators and monsters.
"Whether it's a monk or a spirit, they shouldn't exist in the mortal world, right?"
Looking at the few pedestrians on the Broken Bridge, Ouyang Feng was thinking in his heart.
Although the great hermits live in the city, the monks and monsters practice with the essence of heaven and earth, while the worldly market is too crowded with people, full of emotions and desires. Not only will the essence of heaven and earth be disturbed by the huge crowd, but the soul will also be easily polluted by the emotions of the world.
Although a cultivator like Ouyang Feng who practices martial arts would not care, traditional Qigong practitioners might not be able to bear it.
As he was thinking about it, suddenly a figure caught his attention.
On the other side of the broken bridge, a young girl in a green silk shirt was walking in the light snow, holding an oil-paper umbrella.
The edge of the umbrella covered her face, so her facial features could not be seen clearly. All that could be seen was her tall, slender and graceful figure.
But Ouyang Feng was not attracted by the girl's good figure.
What really attracted his attention was the faint charm from the girl.
Ouyang Feng's current spiritual cultivation has reached an extremely high level. With just a thought, his spiritual perception can easily cover a city. If he uses his spiritual perception to respond to the rhythm of heaven and earth and mobilize the essence of heaven and earth, he can even shake the ground, cause an earthquake, and destroy the city.
His spiritual perception is also extremely subtle. With the help of the Tongtian Baojian, he has the ability to discern the smallest details.
Perhaps not as powerful as Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes of Gold, which can see through any changes of demons at a glance, but at least even demons and monsters with less powerful cultivation and the unusual aura on their bodies cannot be hidden from his spiritual perception.
The reason why he identified at first glance that the unusual aura of the girl in green was demonic energy was because he had dealt with monsters many times.
Not only has he killed monsters, but in this paradise there is also a monster beast that guards the mountain and makes elixirs.
As he often comes into contact with monsters, he is of course very familiar with the demonic aura.
Although the demonic aura of the green-shirted girl was not the same as Ling Xuzi's, they were both essentially the aura of non-human cultivators. "There are actually female demons roaming the streets of the mortal world?"
Ouyang Feng stared at the girl in green with curiosity, thinking:
"Could it be a fox demon that absorbs the yang energy of living people to cultivate?"
When it comes to monsters that like to roam the streets, the first thing that comes to Ouyang Feng's mind is the fox monster.
In many legends, fox demons like to seduce humans and absorb their yang energy for spiritual practice.
Of course, there are also love stories about a love-minded fox demon who falls in love with a human and sincerely marries the human.
So, which type is that girl in green walking in the snow?
As if he had noticed Ouyang Feng's gaze.
The girl in green, who had reached the middle of the Broken Bridge, suddenly tilted her umbrella backwards, revealing a pretty face with picturesque features.
An oval face, long and slender eyebrows, charming phoenix eyes, delicate nose, cherry lips...her beauty fits people's stereotype of a beautiful fairy.
The girl in green was walking on the bridge, staring at Ouyang Feng who was standing on the terrace of the restaurant opposite the broken bridge.
Seeing Ouyang Feng staring at her intently and nodding and smiling at her, the girl wrinkled her nose and narrowed her beautiful and charming eyes slightly, revealing a hint of sharpness, as if to indicate that she was not to be trifled with.
She didn't notice Ouyang Feng's aura.
Because Ouyang Feng's way of cultivation is to carefully conceal his essence, energy and spirit, lock up his vital energy, and cultivate longevity.
With his current level of cultivation, if he does not actively release his aura, he will give people the impression of being just an ordinary man who is tall, straight, heroic and handsome.
Maybe he is tall and strong and looks quite powerful, not a weak scholar, but that doesn't make people realize how powerful he really is.
Ouyang Feng felt the girl's temper.
He smiled slightly, gave the girl a meaningful look, turned and left the terrace, returning to the private room on the third floor.
The girl in green was slightly startled, and after thinking about Ouyang Feng's eyes that seemed to imply a deep meaning, she muttered:
“It’s incomprehensible!”
He walked quickly across the broken bridge, passed by the door of the restaurant where Ouyang Feng was, and walked forward without looking back.
But after walking only ten steps forward, she suddenly stopped, hesitated for a moment, and turned to walk towards the restaurant.
The restaurant is on the third floor.
Ouyang Feng sat in his private room, leisurely savoring the signature dishes that had just been served.
Just as I picked up a piece of Dongpo pork and put it in my mouth to savor it, I heard light and quick footsteps outside.
Soon the door of the box was pushed open, and the girl in green rushed in with a folded oil-paper umbrella, as if she was holding a sword.
"What do you mean?"
She glared at Ouyang Feng, as if she was going to call him to account.
Ouyang Feng swallowed the fat but not greasy, tender and delicious Dongpo pork in his mouth and asked:
"What do you mean by 'what do you mean'?"
The girl in green shirt said:
"Why did you look at me with such strange eyes just now?"
Ouyang Feng smiled and said leisurely without keeping her in suspense:
"I'm just curious, why are there monsters in the mortal world?"
"you!"
The girl in green shuddered and took a step back. The light and flowing light green silk shirt on her body instantly changed into a dark green close-fitting scale armor. A few green scales like tattoos appeared on her forehead and cheeks, and even sharp teeth were exposed at the corners of her mouth.
With a clang, she pulled out a rapier from the umbrella handle, held it across her chest, and took a defensive stance. She looked at him warily and asked:
"Who are you? A Taoist priest who catches monsters?"
"No." Ouyang Feng said with a smile: "Miss, there is no need to be so vigilant. I am just curious."
He looked at the deputy general's curvy figure, slim waist and long legs, which were perfectly outlined by the dark green scales, and then looked at the green scales on her forehead and cheeks, as well as the sharp teeth at the corners of her lips, and asked:
"The girl is a snake demon?"
The girl did not relax her vigilance. While gathering her strength, she said in a deep voice:
"So what? What are you going to do?"
"Don't worry, young lady. I don't drink."
"Don't drink?" The girl in green was confused and didn't understand what he meant.
Ouyang Feng picked up the teacup and took a sip, then smiled and said:
"Since you don't drink, you won't take girls back to make wine."
"you!"
The girl in green glared at him and shouted:
"Are you teasing me? Don't think I won't kill you just because you're pretty. If you piss me off, I'll stab you through the heart with my sword!"
Ouyang Feng smiled, being praised by the beautiful female fairy for his good looks made him very happy.
"You like to wear green clothes, your scales are also green, and you happen to be a snake demon, so... you're not called Xiaoqing, are you?"
"A snake demon wearing green clothes and with green scales must be called Xiaoqing? I insist on calling them Xiaobai, Xiaohong, and Xiaolan. What do you think?"
"So the girl's name is not Xiaoqing?"
"..."
The girl in green gnashed her teeth and said angrily:
"So what if my name is Xiaoqing?"
It’s Xiaoqing indeed!
The Song Dynasty background, the Broken Bridge of West Lake, and the green-scaled snake monster made it difficult for Ouyang Feng not to think of a classic story.
The facts were just as he expected. This world was indeed the world where the Green Snake and the White Snake lived.
"Meeting each other means being destined."
Ouyang Feng raised his hand and gestured:
"I can't finish all the delicious food on this table by myself. Miss Xiaoqing, why don't you sit down and share the food with me?"
Xiaoqing looked suspicious:
"You want to treat me to a meal? Why?"
"No reason, I'm just happy."
Ouyang Feng smiled and said:
"Don't worry, I'm not a Taoist priest who catches monsters. As long as Miss Xiaoqing doesn't kill innocent people, I won't call for you to kill me."
Xiaoqing snorted:
"What if I kill innocent people?"
Ouyang Feng smiled slightly:
"Of course, there will be no mercy."
"Can you do that?"
Xiaoqing snorted again, but she did not feel guilty, because she had been practicing for hundreds of years and had never killed innocent people.
Afterwards, she didn't want to show weakness in front of Ouyang Feng, so she put the rapier back into the umbrella handle, dragged a chair over, sat down opposite Ouyang Feng, slapped the table, and shouted to the outside:
"Add some bowls and chopsticks!"
As he spoke, the green scales on his forehead and cheeks disappeared, and the scale armor turned back into a silk shirt.
