Honghuang: Creation of the Green Lotus, the beginning of the Three Pure Ones

Chapter 268: Just a Side Path
The Wu Gou twin swords, which were no longer under the control of anyone, naturally fell into the hands of Taoist Cihang.

This inevitably shocked Master Puxian, who secretly thought that if he fell into the hands of the disciples of Qinglian Island, his death would be in vain, and he might not even have the chance to be included in the Conferred God List.

It immediately turned into a long rainbow, escaped from the constraints of the dragon lock, and went straight to the outside of Chentang Pass.

As for Puxian Zhenren's escape, Cihang Daoist did not chase him. After all, if Cihang Daoist wanted to keep him, how could Puxian Zhenren have the chance to escape?

Therefore, Taoist Cihang simply took back the Jiaolong Lock, and then forged the Wu Gou twin swords with the fire of the Six Dings and Six Jias.

Finally, he used the Three Lights Divine Water to temper the Wu Gou Twin Swords again. He nodded in satisfaction and said, "It's just right to give these Wu Gou Twin Swords to Mu Zha as a meeting gift."

At this moment, Li Jing was already shocked beyond words. He even couldn't believe his ears.

Of course, what shocked Li Jing wasn't that Puxian Zhenren was defeated by Cihang Daoist, nor was it that Cihang Daoist had taken Puxian Zhenren's magic weapon and wanted to give it to his son as a gift.

Instead, he heard Taoist Cihang reveal the real purpose of the disciples of the Chan Sect accepting disciples.

Finally, it was Cihang Taoist who called out to him that brought Li Jing back to his senses. He then took Cihang Taoist with him and headed towards his own headquarters.

When they arrived at the general's mansion, Yin Shiniang was already waiting in the main hall, holding the newborn Mu Zha.

After all, Yin Shiniang was not an ordinary mortal. After giving birth, she took a pill and recovered to her health.

Now seeing Li Jing and Taoist Cihang walking in, he immediately stood up, saluted Taoist Cihang and said.

"Junior Sister Yin Shiniang, greetings to Senior Brother Cihang. Thanks to you for coming today, otherwise, I'm afraid that this Puxian Zhenren would have really robbed me."

Taoist Cihang smiled and said, "Disciples of the Chan Sect have always been like this. They keep saying they obey fate, but in reality, they are only doing it for themselves."

"Compared to these disciples of the Chan Sect, the Jie Sect disciples are much more genuine. At least they dare to take responsibility for their actions and won't seek fame and reputation like this."

While speaking, Taoist Cihang had already taken Mu Zha from Yin Shiniang's hands.

At this moment, Li Jing finally asked the question that puzzled him, "Senior Brother Cihang, is it true that all disciples of the Chan Sect recruit disciples for this purpose?"

Taoist Cihang nodded with a smile, "Even your former master, True Man Du'e, accepted you three as his disciples for this very reason."

"It's just that Master Du'e is much smarter than the Twelve Golden Immortals. He simply expelled his disciples from the sect and sent them down the mountain to die for him."

"Even if all three of you brothers die, no one will say anything about Master Du'e. They will say he was farsighted."

Li Jing's expression changed after hearing this. "Even his three disciples don't recognize each other. What a scheme!"

At this time, the last bit of affection that Li Jing had for Master Du'e in his heart had completely disappeared.

Suddenly, Li Jing seemed to have thought of something, and he took out the jade talisman for training the Flying Tiger Soldiers and presented it to Taoist Cihang.

"Brother Cihang, this is the jade talisman left by Samantabhadra, which is said to be a method for training Flying Tiger Soldiers."

Without even glancing at the jade talisman, Taoist Cihang spoke directly, "It's nothing more than a crooked way of killing the goose that lays the golden eggs. Qinglian Island disciples wouldn't even bother using it."

Afterwards, Taoist Cihang explained the method of training the Flying Tiger Soldiers to Li Jing and Yin Shiniang. It turned out that the so-called Flying Tiger Soldiers and Crow Soldiers were nothing more than ordinary soldiers trained using Xuanmen Taoist methods.

Whether they were trained Flying Tigers or Crow Soldiers, they were no longer real soldiers. They could even be stored in a magic weapon by the commander.

To put it bluntly, ordinary soldiers were trained into puppets. Puppets without minds would never betray their commander.

After learning what the Flying Tiger Soldiers were, Li Jing immediately drew out the Thunder Sword from his waist and chopped the jade talisman into pieces.

"My disciples on Qinglian Island naturally disdain to use such unorthodox techniques. In fact, if I were to encounter anyone who trained the Crow Soldiers and Flying Tiger Soldiers, I would kill them to avenge the three thousand human soldiers."

Taoist Cihang couldn't help but smile and nodded at Li Jing's decision. He then chatted with Li Jing and his wife for a few more words before returning to Qinglian Island with Mu Zha in his arms.

Looking at the back of Taoist Cihang leaving, Yin Shiniang couldn't help but shed two tears. She said to herself.

"I gave birth to two children, and I didn't even get to see them for two days in total. They were taken away by two senior brothers. I really don't know when they will be brought back to me."

Li Jing knew that Yin Shiniang missed Jin Zha and was reluctant to part with Mu Zha. However, with the apocalypse approaching, how could they dare to indulge in sentimentality?

After all, the key to surviving the catastrophe is to possess absolute strength. Otherwise, what awaits you is deification after death.

Li Jing reached out and took Yin Shiniang into his arms, patting her on the back as he spoke, "There's nothing unusual happening in Northern Chongcheng right now. Madam, why don't you take this opportunity to go back and see your master?"

"By the way, bring some of our Chentangguan specialties with you so that you can have a taste of them. Otherwise, they will say that we have forgotten them because we have enjoyed the wealth of the world."

After hearing this, Yin Shiniang couldn't help but show a look of joy. She nodded to Li Jing and went to prepare.

After sending Yin Shiniang away, Li Jing began to train his troops. It took him three years to finally perfect the military formation passed down by Tongtian.

During these three years, Yin Shiniang had been living on Qinglian Island. She only returned from Qinglian Island a few days ago.

When he came back, he also brought Jin Zha back with him. As for Mu Zha, he naturally stayed on Qinglian Island.

It was now the fifth year of Emperor Xin's reign. In this year, Huang Feihu, the King of Wucheng of the Shang Dynasty, gave birth to his eldest son, Huang Tianhua.

As soon as Huang Tianhua was born, a Taoist priest came to the Wucheng Palace and asked Huang Feihu to go out and greet him personally.

Although Huang Feihu didn't know who the other party was, after learning that he was a Taoist priest, he still brought his family and opened the middle gate to welcome him personally.

After meeting, Huang Feihu clasped his fists towards the Taoist priest and said, "I wonder what your name is, Immortal Master? You have come to my humble residence today. What can I ask for your guidance?"

The Taoist laughed heartily. "I am Zhao Gongming of the Qinglian Island Taoist sect. I have come here today on the orders of my master to accept Huang Tianhua as my disciple. I wonder if King Wucheng would be willing to do so?"

Huang Feihu was so excited that he almost laughed out loud when he learned that the visitor was Zhao Gongming from the Qinglian Island Taoist sect. At the same time, he bowed to Zhao Gongming again and said with a smile.

"My child's ability to worship under the immortal master is a blessing earned in my previous life."

After saying this, he did not forget to make a gesture of invitation to Zhao Gongming and invited Zhao Gongming into the main hall to entertain him.
