This is what an immortal should be like

Chapter 130 Absurd Possibility

In the pavilion by the stream in the Fairy Fox Cave of Xiaosheng Mountain, Xi Miao leaned lazily on the table, and the last peach was one foot away from her eyes.

After tasting one peach, Xi Miao decided not to touch the remaining two peaches.

But in the end, there is only one left today.
Facing the remaining peach at this moment, Xi Miao would definitely not move anymore. She just lay on the table and stared at it in a daze. When she couldn't help it, she put her arm around the peach and sniffed the locked fruit fragrance.

High above the Little Holy Mountain, Zhuang Lin's figure emerged in a wisp of breeze. He looked at the mountains below and secretly admired them.

This place is worthy of being Xi Miao's place of cultivation. The mountains are not steep, and the spiritual energy does not seem to be much better than other places, but it is secretly beautiful. There are hidden brilliances in many directions, which are obviously some spiritual plants in the mountains.

A similar method is now being used in Yinxian Valley. It was an idea devised by Grandpa Mu himself. Through some formations, the nearby spiritual energy is locked within a certain range of the spiritual herbs.

Looking down from the sky for a while, Zhuang Lin glanced towards a certain part of the mountain. Even though he did not have blue eyes and square pupils, his magic eyesight had improved to a certain extent. Although the Fairy Fox Cave was hidden, it could not escape his eyes.

But since it was his first time here, Zhuang Lin didn't want to rush in directly. He casually called out to the mountain as a reminder while descending.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Miao, Zhuang is here to visit me. Are you free to meet me?"

The sound was not obvious in the mountains, but it could definitely be heard in the Fairy Fox Cave and in Xi Miao's ears.

Inside the Fairy Fox Cave, Xi Miao, who was lying on the table, was slightly stunned. After reacting, a look of surprise suddenly appeared on his face.

The real person is here!

Xi Miao hurriedly stood up by supporting herself on the table, tidied up her messy hair slightly, and then pulled at her clothes which were a little disheveled because her chest was pressing against the table, and then hurried towards the entrance of the cave.

After running more than ten steps, Xi Miao finally remembered something. He waved his sleeve at the table over there, instantly took the peach away, and then continued to run towards the cave entrance.

Soon, the Fairy Fox Cave revealed its true appearance. Xi Miao came out of the cave and looked up to see Zhuang Lin descending from the sky holding a small tower. A smile immediately appeared on her face as she bowed slightly to Zhuang Lin.

"Hello, sir. I just heard from the children yesterday that you were in seclusion. I didn't expect you to come today while I was still thinking about you!"

As he spoke, Xi Miao had already stood up and taken a few steps forward, coming to three steps away from where Zhuang Lin was standing. His eyes naturally fell on the small tower in Zhuang Lin's hand.

Zhuang Lin was holding the Linglong Tower and it was inconvenient for him to return the greeting, so he just nodded to Xi Miao.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Miao, I won't be polite anymore. Are you ready to talk?"

It was clear that Zhuang Lin was not just passing by. Xi Miao's expression became serious and he nodded slightly, looking towards the fairy fox cave over there.

"Sir, it is my great pleasure to have you here. Please come into my cave and have a chat! Sir, please!"

"it is good!"

The two entered the cave together. Zhuang Lin admired everything in the cave in his heart, but did not express it. Instead, he returned to the small pavilion by the stream with Xi Miao.

Without giving Xi Miao any time to perform the tea ceremony, Zhuang Lin raised his hand to show the small tower in his hand as soon as he sat down.

"Zhuang came here for this very reason."

As he spoke, Zhuang Lin had already explained everything that had happened this time, including some of the processes he had heard from Xiaowen and the others before going to Foguang Temple, and pointed out the tricks in Foguang Temple.

Xi Miao listened carefully throughout the whole process without any interruption. Even when she heard something that concerned her, she was startled and took note of it for the time being.

By the time Zhuang Lin finished speaking, Xi Miao's eyes had already been fixed on the small tower in Zhuang Lin's hand.

"So, the three evil Buddhas are in this tower?"

"Not bad!"

Xi Miao looked at the small tower in surprise.

Although this small tower is small in Zhuang Lin's hands, it is extremely delicate, from the entrance gate to the layers of tiles and eaves, to the windows above and various wooden structures, it is truly exquisite.

But even so, if Zhuang Lin hadn't said it himself, Xi Miao would never have imagined that this small tower was actually a huge seven-story pagoda in the Wanfo Temple.

There is also a small and exquisite vertical plaque on the small tower, with the four words "Linglong Pagoda" written on it.

Upon closer inspection, the entire small tower was filled with a faint white light. It was not visible in the brighter environment outside, but it was slightly more obvious in the relatively dark environment of the Fairy Fox Cave. The most obvious was the white light at the top of the tower.

Seeing Xi Miao looking around, Zhuang Lin stretched his hand closer so that she could see more clearly.

It’s not that Zhuang Lin didn’t want to put it down, but the pagoda was in a damaged state. Although it didn’t seem to be a big problem to let it go for a short time, it was better to hold it in his hand for safety, so as to avoid any accidents that would destroy the environment of the Fairy Fox Cave.

"Can you open the doors and windows?"

Xi Miao asked this, and Zhuang Lin thought about it and nodded.

"Opening the window shouldn't be a problem. They can't reach it. Just don't open the door."

Xi Miao nodded, and subconsciously held Zhuang Lin's hand with her left hand to stabilize the small tower. Then she stretched out the slender little finger of her right hand and used the slightly sharp tip of her nail to hook open a window of the pagoda.

Then Xi Miao put her face close to Zhuang Lin's hand. Through the window, the first thing she saw was the stairs, and then she saw the other furnishings inside.

The window was located next to the staircase leading to the second floor, about one person's height from the ground.

Inside the exquisite pagoda, three evil Buddhas were suppressed by the righteous spirit on the first floor, sitting cross-legged on a jade-like translucent white floor.

At this moment, the three evil Buddhas still had the appearance of Buddha bodies, and even had a faint Buddha light on their bodies, but this was only an appearance. Many parts of their bodies were both golden and mottled rust-colored, and there were many places under their monk robes that were like pustules and sores, giving off a rotten feeling, and wisps of evil energy were constantly churning inside.

"The window is open!"

One of the evil Buddhas shouted loudly and tried to stand up, but as soon as he stood up, the pressure of the righteous energy seemed to increase tenfold. His body trembled continuously and he sat back on the ground.

The other two evil Buddhas tried to struggle to climb to the stairs, but when they touched the stairs, their arms could no longer be lifted. Every inch they climbed felt like they were bearing a tremendous force.
"Whose eyes are those?"

"Immortal?"

"Please spare my life, Immortal—"

"Master, we are also disciples of the Buddha, enlightened beings who have achieved the golden body. Master, please spare our lives!"

"Sir, you are a Confucian immortal, so teaching is your priority. We are willing to receive your teachings—" The three struggling evil Buddhas suddenly saw a huge eye by the window looking inside. Thinking it was a Confucian immortal looking inside, they called out to him, but received no response.

"I'm not the Confucian Immortal you're talking about!"

Xi Miao's voice entered the tower, and the three evil Buddhas suddenly quieted down after hearing the woman's voice.

Moreover, just hearing this sound made the three evil Buddhas feel itchy, but this was by no means a good thing. Instead, it made them feel uneasy. When they felt it more carefully, they found that there was an extremely special fragrance coming into the tower through the window.

One of the evil Buddhas suddenly reacted.

"Oh no! It's the Fairy Fox Cave!"

The other two evil Buddhas also showed obvious fear, and the Buddha light on their bodies was disordered and the evil energy was turbulent.

"Oh? Are you afraid of me?"

Xi Miao's voice was playful, soft and pleasant. If they had met a woman with such a charming voice in the past, the three evil Buddhas would have wanted to consecrate her personally, but today, their hearts trembled.

Xi Miao said this and glanced at Zhuang Lin, who also frowned slightly as if thinking about something.

"Fellow Daoist Xi Miao, are they afraid of you because you have great magical powers, or..."

Upon hearing this, Xi Miao couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle. Her body trembled slightly with laughter, and she looked inadvertently charming.

"I suppose that although I have some skills, I'm not enough to frighten people. What's more, you are right here. They have seen your methods, so how could they be more afraid of me than you. So there is only one possibility!"

Zhuang Lin also thought of it, and Xi Miao said it lightly.

"I'm acquainted with the Two-Phase Heavenly Sound Bodhisattva. You're occupying the Two-Phase Heavenly Sound Bodhisattva's golden statue in the Xiangyang Wanfo Temple to collect offerings. It seems you're afraid the real Two-Phase Heavenly Sound Bodhisattva will find out."

As soon as these words were spoken, the three evil Buddhas looked strange. After being silent for a few breaths, the evil energy in the three evil Buddhas suddenly exploded, transforming into distorted human faces dragging evil energy or Buddha light, forming three evil winds mixed with Buddha light that rushed towards the window.

This was obviously the last trump card left by the three evil Buddhas. Although it was very difficult, it seemed that they were really going to reach the window.

With a "bang", it was like a bolt from the blue for the three evil Buddhas in the tower. Xi Miao closed the window directly with his fingers.

The three gusts of wind hit the window and bounced back, then fell to the ground and were pressed back into the shape of the evil Buddha. Then there was a roar inside the tower, but the noise could not be heard outside the tower.

Zhuang Lin snorted coldly from outside.

"It seems they still have some strength left. I underestimated them!"

After saying this, Zhuang Lin had an idea, and a white light flashed slightly above the exquisite pagoda. The next moment, the three evil Buddhas in the pagoda were completely crushed. They could not even sit still. They could only lie or crawl on the ground, unable to even lift a hand.

The window was opened again, and through it one could vaguely see Xi Miao's face and Zhuang Lin beside her.

"Please spare me, sir, please spare me." "My golden body is about to break."

"Immortal Master. Fairy Fox Goddess"

Seeing that nothing they said was of any use, the three evil Buddhas immediately began to curse.

"Sir, what kind of Confucian immortal are you? Why don't you give us a chance to mend our ways?"

"He who covets beauty and enjoys intercourse with fox spirits is nothing more than an ordinary scholar—"

"Enjoy it, enjoy it. The little Saint Fox is the most poisonous in the world. Even if you are a Confucian Immortal, you can't bear it!"

"Wait for her to play with you between the skirts of the bed, wait for her to dominate you with her lust—"

"Don't be too happy, Fairy Fox Lady. Confucian Immortals are favored by the destiny of heaven and earth. I'm afraid they won't be able to resist your charm and manipulation. Who knows, they might just be here to take you away!"

"That's right, you think you can seduce all the men in the world, but you don't know that the righteous spirit is specifically designed to defeat the evil spirits like you. Just wait to die first—"

"Ruxian, Ruxian, since you want to cleanse the world, you should start with this vixen. Countless righteous men have died from having sex with her, and countless scholars in the world have been replaced every three days—"

The three evil Buddhas were cursing fiercely and obscenely in the pagoda. Zhuang Lin thought that Xi Miao, a woman, would mind it, but she laughed so hard that she could hardly stand up straight.

"Hehehe, hahahahahahahaha, keep scolding me, scold me! I love seeing you guys being so incompetent that you can't do anything to me and can only talk. You're afraid of Tianyin Bodhisattva, right? I'm going to send you there!"

After saying that, Xi Miao closed the window in fear, and the inside and outside of the pagoda were immediately isolated, and no sound from inside could be heard.

However, as soon as the window was closed, the smile on Xi Miao's face stopped immediately, which made Zhuang Lin secretly shocked. It was even faster than changing her face!
But Xi Miao was not angry because of the verbal humiliation. Her face was calm with a hint of confusion.

"Sir, this is a bit strange. They are certainly cursing me vigorously, but some of the details of my magical powers are quite private. Although they are not considered vital points, even for me, it is difficult to talk about them under normal circumstances. Why do they know this?"

Xi Miao added.

"If I were truly debauched and evil, that would be fine. After all, I often capture people for sexual intercourse, and there are countless righteous people. Scholars change their jobs every three days, so hehe, it would definitely be easy for the news to get out."

While speaking, Xi Miao took the time to joke with Zhuang Lin.

However, seeing Zhuang Lin's strange expression, the former suddenly became a little serious, and then continued.

"But since I received those gifts, these magical powers are so profound that I only need to cultivate within my own mind. Although it is countless times slower, I have no desire and can overcome desire. It is also more pure. A single gesture and movement that can be transformed into ordinary magical powers is enough to affect the opponent. Among the demon cultivators, I rarely leave the Little Holy Mountain, so my reputation is actually not very great."

When Xi Miao said this, some things were self-evident. She was not explaining anything for herself, but she was doubting the source of information of these three evil Buddhas.

"So who else have you told this to?"

Zhuang Lin couldn't help but ask, Xi Miao frowned slightly and shook her head slightly.

"Only my master, but he can't..."

Having said this, Xi Miao was stunned for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and looked at the small tower again.

"There's another person who might know, and that's the Two-Aspect Heavenly Sound Bodhisattva who discussed the Dao with my master so often back then!"

A somewhat absurd possibility emerged in Xi Miao's mind, or perhaps Zhuang Lin had also thought of some possibilities.
