He Ping sat back in Paper Sedan's bed and was heading to the meeting point in the direction indicated in the jade talisman.
At the same time, he was also checking the trophies after killing the red-robed demon monk. This time, he received a total of two trophies.
One is the "Empty-Travel Karma Great Freedom Mother God Bead". This skull necklace is considered an amazing piece Law Artifact. Each skull is inlaid with gold and jade, obviously made by a skilled craftsman.
"It's a pity that the skull necklace Law Artifact must be destroyed by Buddhist techniques. If this thing falls into my hands, if I can't find the method to activate it, it will not be able to work miraculously for the time being."
Law Artifact is largely refined by practitioners, so it will also have a strong personal style of practitioners. For example, this "Empty-Travel Karma Great Freedom Mother God Bead" can be activated without Buddhist cultivation.
In addition to the skull necklace, he also took back the small copper bowl, which was only the size of a palm. He Ping turned it over and over to investigate and found a line of writing engraved on the bottom of the copper bowl.
"'All actions are impermanent, arising and passing away. This is the law of arising and passing away, and cessation is bliss'?"
He muttered something, guessing it was a Buddhist verse, but he didn't know what it meant.
"This bronze bowl should also be a Law Artifact, but it is different from this skull necklace. It is not the Law Artifact used for offense and defense. This thing is quite strange-"
He Ping studied again and couldn't figure out a reason. In the end, he could only choose to put away the two things.
Even if you can't use the Buddhist Law Artifact, you can still exchange it with others. Moreover, these two Buddhist Law Artifact may come from the Great Xiye Kingdom, so they are definitely worth a lot of money.
It is said that when the Great You country wiped out Stone Zen Temple and exterminated Buddhism for the fourth time, they seized a large number of Buddhist classics and may have also mastered part of the Buddhist teachings on how to enter the Tao.
"... It's quite profitable."
He muttered to himself.
After staying on Paper Sedan for two hours, it seemed that they had arrived at the meeting point, and He Ping got off the sedan.
There was a forest outside the sedan, and the gloomy sunshine shrouded the surrounding trees. Even the shadows on the ground looked strange.
There was a small path a few feet away, a winding path, with wild grass covering both sides like fire. At the end of this winding path, a village could be vaguely seen on the top of a low mountain.
"Why is there a village in this deep mountain and old forest?"
There may be ignorant villagers in the village. If they see Paper Sedan zi and paper puppets, they might be frightened. He Ping waved his hand behind him, and with a hard push from the paper puppets carrying the sedan, Paper Sedan zi was folded up and sucked into his shadow along with the paper puppets.
He Ping stepped forward and walked for a while, passing through the woods on this path. In front of him was a farmland that had been harvested once. These fields had been plowed over, and large chunks of black mud were piled in the fields.
There is a small stone bridge at the end of the field ridge. Next to the bridge is a very shallow river. Because it snowed yesterday, there is still snow piled beside the river.
"Which person?"
He Ping noticed a figure standing by the river. It was an old man dressed like a street vendor. The old man was holding a fishing rod and sitting on a stone to fish.
"Grandpa the salesman?"
He quickly realized that this person was probably Chixinzi, the person who disguised himself as a salesman and handed the jade talisman to the boy.
(... In that case, I will have a conflict with that demonic monk in red. Is it possible that this guy is also responsible for this?)
He Ping's heart moved. He had been a little suspicious before, because it was a bit strange that the jade talisman would be handed over to the boy. Now it seems that this is too much of a coincidence. However, he never believes in coincidences.
However, he was a little confused as to what the purpose of Chixinzi was in doing this?
"Forget it, the monk is dead anyway. This is just a way to blackmail Chixinzi. If he doesn't come out with some regulations, then I will have no choice but to fall out in person!"
He Ping sneered in his heart, Chixinzi would not make it easy for him unless he gave him a reasonable explanation.
Just when his thoughts turned to this, he smiled coldly and said loudly, "Brother Chixinzi, you really have leisure time and ambition, why do you come to a place like this to fish?"
The old man dressed as a salesman twisted his neck, and what emerged was an unfamiliar face. This face was different from the old man with the calligraphy sticker before. This also proved that Chixinzi would change his face every time he appeared.
"It turns out to be Junior Brother He. You arrived a little late. Senior Brother, I originally expected you to arrive here yesterday."
He Ping saw that Chixinzi had changed his face, and he was also thinking that this old ghost might not have used a human skin mask to disguise himself like him. He might have used the secret technique of living puppets to change his face, so that he could change his face at will.
(Then again, Chixinzi should also have used the secret technique of living puppets, but I don't know how many parts of his body have been replaced. Theoretically, the more parts he replaces, the stronger he will be...)
While thinking about this question, He Ping replied in a pleasant manner, "Junior brother, I will be a day late, but I still have to thank you for your kindness, senior brother."
With that said, he informed Chixinzi about his encounter with the monster monk.
"Senior brother, the jade talisman in the boy's hand should be your handiwork. Senior brother, please don't say that you have nothing to do with this matter!"
"Hahaha, so that's what happened?"
Chixinzi took back the fishing rod and laughed suddenly, "Junior brother, don't be angry. It's a long story. I know who the monk is. His name is Abula, not Great You, but from the Great Xiye Kingdom. He has a good background. He is a monk born in Vajra Zen Monastery. I didn't expect you, junior brother, to run into him. This is beyond my expectation..."
"Senior brother, people don't tell secrets," He Ping said calmly, "If it were another person, he might think this is a coincidence, but I never believe in coincidences in the world. I guess you want to use my hand to get rid of the demon monk, or you want the demon monk to get rid of me. It's best for both of us to lose and die together."
"Hey, Junior Brother He, why do you have to say that."
Chixinzi shook his head.
"Then Abula's Law Power cultivation level is really not as good as yours. It doesn't take much effort to kill him with your ability. I went around in a circle just to do you a big favor, junior brother. You have misunderstood my good intentions."
"I also misunderstood your kindness, senior brother."
He Ping is not angry but smiling.
"Then I need to ask my senior brother for advice."
"Actually, things are not as complicated as you think."
Chixinzi smiled.
"I have said before that Sanyuan Devil Palace's Water Immortal Ruins is full of dangers. Before you, I had invited four comrades, and the five of them decided to work together to explore the ruins. This monk Abula is one of them."
"Then why do we need to change people midway?"
He Ping snorted coldly.
"Abula has a reckless temper. Neither I nor the other three people like this partner. However, he also knows about the ruins. If he spreads it everywhere and the news gets out, there will be trouble."
Chixinzi continued, "I intended to get rid of him, but I couldn't let the other three people know about it, so I took advantage of my junior brother's help."
"Is this what Senior Brother calls 'good intentions'?"
"Junior brother."
Chixinzi pretended to cough again.
"You have to take Abula's place in this operation, and at least show your strength. I originally expected you to come here to meet me after taking the jade talisman, and then I will introduce you to meet the other three people. Abula will also be there if nothing unexpected happens. Then you two will fight each other, and you can decide the winner. I didn't expect that you would quietly kill this monk on the spot."
"Haha."
He Ping just sneered.
Chixinzi, this guy also knows his own character very well, so he should have planned this matter in advance...
"But this is not a bad thing. This monk was born in Vajra Zen Monastery and has a cultivation level of Law Power. Since he was killed by you, you will replace him. Then the other three have nothing to say."
Chixinzi smiled and said, "Those three people are from the Qi Soul Sect, Ghost Cry Sect, and Red Armor Hall. They are all fellow members of 'Nine Evils of Longevity', and they are not inferior to our Immortal Puppet Sect lineage. If junior brother doesn't show some skills, how can he convince the public? I am here because of junior brother."
After saying this, he took out a silver iron order from his arms.
"Junior brother, the refining method of 'Resentful Demon' was recorded in the iron talisman I earned you last time. The refining method of 'Death Demon' is hidden in this iron talisman. It is also one of <Seed Demon Technique> Secret Method. Just treat me as my senior brother and make amends to you!"
Chixinzi waved his hand and threw it, and He Ping took the pale silver iron plate.
"The refining method of 'Death Demon'?"
"There are nine articles in <Seed Demon Technique>, collectively called <Nine Refinements of Nether Demons>, and 'Resentful Demon' and 'Death Demon' are one of them. There are also many benefits hidden in Narcissus Cave Abode. When our brothers work together, the two of us are of the same mind, and we can make a profit. Isn't it much better than taking advantage of others for nothing?"
Chixinzi's talk was still somewhat effective. He Ping thought about it for a while and thought it was correct.
"After all, the time to fall out has not come yet, and I don't know Chixinzi's trump card, so I will pretend to be just seeking benefits, so that this guy can relax his vigilance and find another opportunity to get rid of him."
However, he has not forgotten that his main goal here is to find an opportunity to get rid of Chixinzi.
However, in order to lower Chixinzi's vigilance as much as possible, He Ping felt that he had to pretend to be greedy. After checking the iron sign, the usual cold and cold look on his face disappeared, and a warm glow appeared on his face.
"Senior brother is right, we brothers are one family, so the benefits of Narcissus Cave Abode cannot be cheap to outsiders."
"Junior brother, if you think so, that would be great."
He Ping and Chixinzi looked at each other and smiled, it seemed that all their previous dirty plans had been resolved.
"By the way, those comrades from the Qi Soul Sect, Ghost Cry Sect, and Red Armor Hall, senior brother, don't plan to introduce them to me."
"This is easy to say, let's go to the village first."
Chixinzi laughed loudly, stroking his long beard and making a gesture of please.
