Chapter 388 3 Xiao wants to go down the mountain
On Luo Shu's way to the Sun Star, a deep and long unicorn roar suddenly came from the outskirts of Jin'ao Island, breaking the surrounding tranquility.
I saw a black unicorn coming on the clouds, and on its back sat an old man wearing a black robe and with a dignified face. He was Wen Zhong, the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty.
The black unicorn's four hooves were so light that it seemed as if every step was on the void. In the blink of an eye, it arrived in front of the cave of the Golden Spirit Mother.
Wen Zhong gently patted the black unicorn's neck, signaling it to stop. He then slowly slowed down, straightened his clothes, and prepared to enter the cave.
Just as Wen Zhong raised his hand and prepared to salute and report, a gentle yet majestic voice suddenly came from the cave:
"Disciple, come in!"
The voice seemed to have crossed the boundaries of time and space, echoing directly in Wen Zhong's heart, causing him to be stunned involuntarily.
Wen Zhong felt warm in his heart. The voice of his master, the Golden Spirit Mother, was always so familiar and reassuring.
He took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and stepped into the cave.
The light in the cave is soft, and all kinds of rare treasures emit a faint glow. The air is filled with a faint scent of flowers and herbs, which makes people's hearts unconsciously calm down.
"Disciple Wen Zhong pays homage to Master."
Wen Zhong walked into the inner room and saw the Golden Spirit Mother sitting on a cushion with her eyes closed. She was surrounded by a faint golden halo, which made her look sacred and inviolable. He bowed respectfully with a bit of awe in his tone.
The Golden Spirit Mother slowly opened her eyes, her gaze was as sharp as a torch, as if she could see through people's hearts. She smiled slightly and said in a gentle voice:
"Wen Zhong, you and I are master and disciple, there is no need to be so polite."
"It has been several years since we last met, so why did you think of coming to me this time?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong bowed again, with a bit of guilt in his tone, "I am an unfilial disciple. Due to being entangled in worldly affairs, I have not been able to accompany Master all the time. I hope Master will forgive me."
The Golden Spirit Mother shook her head slightly and said softly:
"Master knows that as the Grand Master of the Shang Dynasty, you shoulder heavy responsibilities and it is inevitable that you are entangled in worldly affairs. Naturally, I will not blame you."
When Wen Zhong heard this, a warm current surged in his heart, and his eyes turned red. He bowed again and said:
"Thank you for your understanding, Master. This time, I came here to ask for a favor."
"Sit down and talk."
After the Golden Spirit Mother finished speaking, she gently waved her hand. A white light flashed, and a cushion appeared in front of Wen Zhong.
"Thank you Master!"
After Wen Zhong expressed his gratitude, he carefully sat down on the cushion. He felt a warm breath coming from the cushion, which instantly dispelled the fatigue and tension in his body.
He took a deep breath, calmed himself, and then spoke out his worries and difficulties one by one:
"Master, I am following the order of the King of Shang to lead the army to quell the rebellion. I intend to wipe out the rebels in Xiqi and bring peace to the world."
"However, the Xiqi rebels received help from the disciples of the Chan Sect, and their strength increased greatly. Although there were wins and losses in the battle, they were never able to completely resolve the Xiqi rebellion."
"Now, the two armies are deadlocked at Jiepai Pass, the battle is stalemate, and the situation is not optimistic."
At this point, Wen Zhong frowned, his face full of worry. He paused, and continued:
"What makes me even more sad is that before I came here, my Shang army had the support of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jiejiao. They have a very good relationship with me, and they are also people with high cultivation. Their formations are even more unique."
"However, in the battle with Xiqi, four of them died tragically at the hands of Chi Jingzi and Ci Hang, two of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect."
"This defeat is undoubtedly adding insult to injury for our Shang army!"
When the Golden Spirit Mother heard this, her expression became solemn. She was silent for a moment, as if she was thinking about something.
The cave fell into silence for a moment, with only Wen Zhong's heavy breathing echoing.
After a long time, the Golden Spirit Mother finally opened her red lips, with a hint of complexity in her voice:
"Disciple, you came to me this time because you want to..."
Wen Zhong's body trembled slightly when he heard this. He looked up at the Golden Spirit Mother, his eyes flashing with a determined light, but also mixed with a hint of indescribable bitterness:
"Master, I came here out of helplessness. Guangchengzi, one of the Twelve Golden Immortals of the Chan Sect, actually came to help the Xiqi rebels, which greatly dampened the morale of our army."
"Although I have tried my best, I still feel powerless. I can only dare to ask Master to come down the mountain to help our army."
The Golden Spirit Holy Mother frowned slightly when she heard this. She didn't expect that Guang Chengzi would also end up like this.
In this case, the Ten Heavenly Lords alone are indeed no match for the people of the Orthodox Sect.
The Golden Spirit Mother was silent for a moment, looking deeply into the distance, as if she was thinking about something.
The cave suddenly fell into silence, with only the faint sound of burning candles.
Wen Zhong did not dare to disturb him and just waited quietly for his master's response.
At this moment, a crisp cry suddenly came from outside the cave, breaking the silence:
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, why are you still hesitating? Since Guang Chengzi and Chi Jingzi have already been defeated, we naturally cannot show weakness!"
As the words fell, three figures flashed into the cave like three streams of light.
They are the three fairies Yunxiao, Qiongxiao and Bixiao. Each of them is a rare beauty in the world, and has profound cultivation and extraordinary strength.
Yunxiao was dressed in a light blue dress and dancing with light gauze, like a fairy in the clouds, untainted by the dust.
Qiong Xiao was dressed in plain white, with a gentle temperament yet a hint of firmness, like a fairy under the moon, cold and aloof.
Bixiao is wearing a green dress, full of vitality, lively and agile, like a forest elf, full of energy.
The three fairies each have their own merits. They have graceful figures and beautiful faces, but the heroic spirit inadvertently revealed between their brows makes people dare not underestimate their strength and determination.
When Wen Zhong saw the three men, he quickly stood up and saluted, "Wen Zhong greets the three uncles."
Yunxiao raised his hand slightly, signaling Wen Zhong not to be polite, and a faint smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Although the smile was beautiful, it carried a hint of imperceptible coldness.
"Nephew Wen Zhong, there is no need to be so polite."
Bi Xiao was straightforward and could no longer suppress her indignation. She stepped forward, her eyebrows raised, and shouted:
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, how can we sit back and watch as the people of the Orthodox Sect bully our Jie Sect? After all, the Ten Heavenly Lords are our Jie Sect disciples. Now, they are being wantonly killed by the people of the Orthodox Sect. This is really abominable!"
Qiong Xiao followed closely behind, anger flashing in his eyes, and echoed:
"Junior sister, what you said is absolutely right! Do those people from the Chan Sect think they can do whatever they want just because they have so many people?"
"We, Jiejiao, are not afraid of them! Senior sister, just promise nephew Wen Zhong, let's go down the mountain together and teach them a lesson!"
Yun Xiao heard this, her eyes were deep, as if she was thinking about something. After a moment, she slowly spoke, her voice was soft, but every word was weighty:
"The actions of the Chan Sect are indeed too much. Although my Jie Sect has always been free and easy, I cannot allow them to bully me like this."
"Junior Brother Wen Zhong, please explain the whole story in detail, and we will make a decision later."
Upon hearing this, Wen Zhong was delighted, knowing that his three uncles were willing to help him, so he quickly explained the whole story again.
After hearing this, Yunxiao frowned and was silent for a moment before finally speaking:
"Senior Sister Jin Ling, the Chan Sect has been so disregarding its dignity and mobilizing the entire sect to fight for the Conferred God. It is indeed somewhat embarrassing."
"Besides, our master no longer restricts us from reciting the Huang Ting Sutra, so it's not a bad idea for us to accompany Junior Brother Wen Zhong for a walk."
After hearing this, the Golden Spirit Holy Mother pondered for a moment and said slowly:
"In that case, let's go down the mountain with Wen Zhong."
Wen Zhong was delighted when he heard this, and bowed respectfully:
"Thank you, Master! With the help of you and the three uncles, my army will surely be unstoppable."
