That's right, the god of immortality is a member of the Bu clan!
"My subordinate is here!"
"Summon Fahai to see me immediately."
"Yes, Master!"
A moment later, an old monk with white hair and beard slowly entered.
"God, what do you wish to do with this old monk?"
“Fahai! The descendants of the Bu clan have appeared in the world. You should understand my intentions.”
The God of Immortality had a burning gaze; if he didn't need to oversee the Search for Gods Palace, he would have already taken action himself.
“I understand.” Fahai nodded and raised a finger. “But after this, there is only one last thing left.”
"Understood! Go quickly!" The immortal god waved his hand impatiently.
Just as Fahai was about to leave the hall, he added coldly:
"In addition, find out whether Bu Yuanting has any descendants."
"If you have any, bring them back with you."
"Excellent, excellent..." Fahai chanted the Buddha's name softly and quietly left.
As Fahai stepped outside the hall, he was greeted by a stunningly beautiful woman dressed in flowing white robes.
"Eh? Zen Master Fahai, where are you headed?"
"My lady, it's best not to ask any more questions about this matter."
Fahai shook his head with a wry smile, said no more, and walked forward on his own.
"Hmph, the less they tell me, the more I want to find out..."
The goddess gave a soft snort, intending to quietly follow.
Suddenly, a fully armed general blocked her way.
"Goddess! Where are you going?"
"My lord, do I need to report my whereabouts to you?"
The goddess raised her chin, her expression haughty.
"Of course not."
The god remained calm.
"But just now, the Divine Lord summoned the Divine Mother..."
Shenji immediately put the matter of Fahai out of her mind and hurried towards the Hall of Longevity.
290 - The Story of the Flood of Jinshan Temple!
The Great Tang Dynasty, Daming Palace.
What was the cause of the flooding of Jinshan Temple within the territory of the Song Dynasty?
Wu Zetian did not immediately inquire about the Bu clan, but instead asked about this past event first.
"Report to Your Majesty."
Shangguan Wan'er was highly knowledgeable and could readily access all kinds of intelligence.
"Legend has it that fifty years ago, there was a scholar named Xu Xian in Hangzhou during the Song Dynasty."
"He fell in love with a snake demon, a relationship forbidden by the world."
"Abbot Fahai of Jinshan Temple intervened, intending to subdue this demon."
"However, his magical powers were insufficient, and he was instead subdued by the snake demon."
In desperation, he devised a treacherous plan to lure Xu Xian into becoming a monk and coerce the snake demon into submission.
He disguised himself as a wandering monk and told Xu Xian that his wife was a snake demon in disguise.
"Xu Xian was terrified and immediately followed Fahai to Jinshan Temple to become a monk."
"In a fit of rage, the snake demon joined forces with her sister, Xiaoqing, to cast a spell."
"This caused the water level of the Qiantang River in Hangzhou, during the Song Dynasty, to rise sharply, flooding Jinshan Temple."
"The people of Hangzhou suffered heavy casualties, and the monks of Jinshan Temple were not spared either."
"Ultimately, the snake demon violated the heavenly rules and was rightfully executed by Fahai at the foot of Leifeng Pagoda."
"Lord Shangguan, this..."
All the civil and military officials in the hall looked astonished after hearing this.
Is this intelligence for real?
Are you sure the information is accurate?
Not only are there dragons in this world, but now there are even monsters?
Did they also violate the heavenly laws?
Could it be that the Heavenly Court actually exists?
Lord Shangguan, we are ignorant and inexperienced, please don't try to fool us!
After hearing this story, Wu Zetian not only did not find it absurd, but instead angrily rebuked it:
"Most men in the world are faithless!"
"That damned Xu Xian, even though the snake demon isn't human, isn't she still his wife?"
"To despise her because of her status is utterly heartless and ungrateful!"
"This bastard deserves to die!"
The assembled officials were speechless for a moment after hearing this.
But since the Empress had already made her stance clear, everyone naturally echoed her sentiments.
Everyone was filled with righteous indignation and utterly humiliated Xu Xian.
It was as if he had become the world's number one villain.
After venting her anger, Wu Zetian calmed down a bit.
"But this story is indeed strange..."
"Is the intelligence report truly accurate?"
Helpless, Shangguan Wan'er had no choice but to take the secret scroll from the servant.
"Your Majesty, please look. This is a message sent back by the secret agents of the Great Song Dynasty's Bad People."
Wu Zetian carefully reviewed the documents and found that the contents were exactly the same as what Shangguan Wan'er had said.
"This is too bizarre..."
Chapter 153 Files
She closed the file, feeling increasingly confused.
Do immortals, demons, ghosts, and gods really exist in this world?
"His Majesty……"
Yuan Shoucheng spoke up at the opportune moment:
"Perhaps it's not an exaggeration..."
"After all, a black dragon was spotted in the capital of the Ming Dynasty some time ago."
"And the Tong clan, to which Yin Tianxue belongs, is also skilled in magic..."
Wu Zetian nodded slightly and pondered for a moment before saying:
"But I still feel that there is more to the story of the flooding of Jinshan Temple than meets the eye."
"Mythical beasts may be possible, but the idea of demons is hard to believe."
"Wan'er, have you found out the name of that snake demon?"
In the legend of the flooding of Jinshan Temple, the protagonist Xu Xian, the villain Fahai, the supporting character Xiaoqing, and even the passerby Jingwang all have names.
The female snake demon, however, had no title!
This matter is truly strange.
"The situation has not yet been determined."
Shangguan Wan'er also noticed something was amiss.
Wu Zetian waved her hand and gave up.
She investigated this matter because she discovered that everything shown on the Heavenly Ranking was extraordinary.
"Do you know anything about that Xiao Sanxiao?"
"The Twelve Terrors have lived for at least a thousand years..."
Shangguan Wan'er and Yuan Shoucheng exchanged a glance, their faces showing a helpless smile.
"It's a pity that 'Heavenly Demon' wasn't present; perhaps he would know some of the inside story," Wu Zetian sighed softly.
Cang Qu possesses profound cultivation and has lived for hundreds of years.
Perhaps it will reveal the truth behind the story of "Three Laughs at the Old Man" and "The Flood of Jinshan Temple".
"Does His Majesty intend to recruit the Prince of Jing?" Shangguan Wan'er asked cautiously.
Wu Zetian sneered.
"The Demon Lord Bai Suzhen once saved this person, giving him a chance to be reborn."
"But he betrayed Bai Suzhen. Does such a person even deserve to be recruited?"
"They have utterly failed their identity as Buddhist disciples, and even more so, they have failed to live up to the teachings they received."
"By my decree, anyone who sees this scoundrel, Prince Jing, is to be killed without exception."
"Whoever takes his life will be immediately enfeoffed as a marquis with ten thousand households!"
"this..."
Yuan Shoucheng looked surprised; he had previously wanted to recruit experts from the Heavenly Dao Golden List.
King Jing ranked twenty-seventh on the gold list, demonstrating his exceptional strength.
Why does His Majesty not only refuse to recruit them, but instead try to put them to death?
Isn't this too hasty?
Just as she was about to offer her advice, Shangguan Wan'er spoke up:
"Your Majesty is wise!"
"Compared to the Scripture King, the Demon Lord Bai Suzhen is far more worthy of being won over."
"If we can eliminate the King of the Sutras, perhaps we can persuade Bai Suzhen to submit to the Tang Dynasty."
Currently, there are three people on the Heavenly Ranking who are associated with Bai Suzhen.
Death Crossing - The Hand of the Grim Reaper, Black Eyes
Snow Crossing - Snow Damo
Longitude—No classic, no path, no king.
These three are no ordinary people.
But before they met Bai Suzhen, they were the most insignificant beings in the world.
Xuedamo was originally an ugly and incompetent novice monk.
Although Hei Tong was the young lady of the Hei family in Yunzhou, her entire family was wiped out, and she almost lost her life.
King Jing was even involved in the flooding of Jinshan Temple and nearly drowned.
