Chapter 23 Hou Yi and the Jade Rabbit
(please collect and recommend)
What happened in the East Palace and the conversation between Taiyi and Dijun were unknown to outsiders.
But the next day, Taiyi issued an edict in the Lingxiao Palace, ordering Ao Yue, the Protector of the Eastern Emperor, to lead 300,000 demon soldiers and demon generals to attack Penglai Fairy Island and annihilate the Eastern Prince.
Ao Yue, who was standing in the first row of the ministers, accepted the decree with her hands.
He knew that this was the opportunity Taiyi gave him, an opportunity to prove himself to the demons.
Therefore, he must complete this task successfully!
"He is actually allowed to lead the troops. His Majesty the Eastern Emperor really thinks highly of him!" Demon Saint Ji Meng, who was standing in the second row of the ministers, said to Jiu Ying next to him through his soul.
Jiuying looked at Ao Yue's upright back, with a hint of disdain at the corner of his mouth, and also used his soul to transmit his voice: "A young boy who thinks that with the identity of the son of Zulong and the favor of Donghuang, he can override
Above us, let the Duke of the East teach him the cruelty of the ancient times."
"Haha, he is indeed a boy, but he is also a powerful boy and should not be underestimated. Don't forget, he forcibly absorbed half of the ancestor dragon's magic power when he was born. Maybe... maybe he can really defeat Dong Wangong in this battle.
"An old voice sounded in the spirits of Ji Meng and Jiu Ying at the same time.
"Brother Bai Ze, what do you mean?"
"The Emperor of the East asked him to lead the troops to attack Penglai, but he did not let any of us Demon Saints accompany him. This was because he was worried that we would share the credit. He wanted to build momentum for Ao Yue, but this also shows that His Majesty the Emperor of the East has a deep love for Ao Yue.
With enough confidence, he believes that Ao Yue can defeat Duke Dong and destroy the Penglai Island." Bai Ze stroked his gray beard and said in a leisurely voice through his soul.
"It's just him, it's impossible, right?" Ji Meng still didn't believe it.
"We'll see." Bai Ze didn't say anything more, but narrowed his eyes slightly when looking at Ao Yue, and a deep color flashed in his eyes.
…
After going to court, Ao Yue walked out of the Lingxiao Palace and was about to prepare various matters for the attack on Penglai Immortal Island.
Meng Zhang had been waiting for him outside the palace. When he saw him coming out, he immediately walked towards him. He didn't say anything or ask anything. He just followed him silently, fulfilling his duty as a guard.
"Dharma Protector, please stay." Suddenly, a sound of laughter came from behind them. Hearing the sound, Erlong stopped, turned around, and saw Bai Ze.
"Defender, I wish the Dharma Protector a great success. When the Dharma Protector comes back from wiping out the Eastern Prince, in your free time, please come to my dojo and sit down. How about we have a discussion?" Bai Ze walked up to Ao Yue and said to him.
Yi Yi, then stood up and said with a smile.
"You're welcome, Demon Saint. You are the senior. You invite me, and I, the junior, should go on your own." Bai Ze is the leader of the ten Demon Saints. Although Donghuang Taiyi has established his status above him, facing Bai Ze,
Ao Yue still didn't dare to neglect, and quickly gave him a bow and responded.
"Haha, okay, then I will sweep the couch to greet you at any time." Bai Ze said with a smile, always with a kind look on his face, as if he was a pure old man with no ill intentions.
"Yes." Ao Yue nodded, saying that she would definitely visit then.
Then, the two walked together for a while and separated at the overpass.
"Your Highness, are you going to attack the Penglai Island of Prince Dong?" Meng Zhang, who had been silent since before, suddenly asked Ao Yue as he watched Bai Ze leave.
"Well, this is the second task His Majesty has given me. I failed in the last task. This time, I must not make any mistakes." Looking at Bai Ze's leaving figure, Ao Yue clenched her right hand into a fist and released it.
Behind the waist, he opened his mouth and said.
"Dong Wanggong is the first male immortal designated by Dao Ancestor. Dong Huang Taiyi wants you to attack him. This...could he be using you to test Dao Ancestor's attitude towards the demon clan?" Meng Zhang thought for a while,
Somewhat worried.
"Huh?" After hearing this, Ao Yue glanced at Meng Zhang.
Meeting Ao Yue's gaze, Meng Zhang was unmoved at first, then slowly lowered his head and said, "I am lying."
"Don't think too much, and don't doubt your Majesty. Since your Majesty has told you so, let's just do it." Ao Yue said calmly. After speaking, she stepped forward, one step at a time, to mobilize the troops.
Hearing what Ao Yue said, Meng Zhang had no choice but to follow him. However, he kept this matter in mind and planned to keep a closer eye on him in the future, lest Ao Yue was really taken advantage of by Taiyi and ran into any danger.
In that case, he would have failed the great elder's trust.
…
On the other side, Buzhou Mountain.
Houtu concluded that Gungun would have to sleep for at least a year before he could wake up. After only one day of sleep, the whole bear woke up. (At this time, it was still one day in the sky and one day on the earth.)
"Ha~" Lying on the earthen bed, it raised its bear paw, put it in front of its mouth and yawned, then sat up and slowly opened its eyes.
"Are you awake, Brother Gungun?" A familiar voice came to Gungun's ears. Gungun turned his head and saw that it was Hou Yi. He was feeding a little rabbit in his arms with a radish.
Little bunny?
Gungun cheered up a bit, turned his head and looked at the rabbit in Hou Yi's arms, recalled the past, and then he remembered.
Yes, it has not released all the demon souls in the spirit-washing cauldron, and its grievances have not been purified. Moreover, it originally wanted to catch a few soft-bone rabbits and roast them, because Gonggong Houtu and Ao Yue's
After the first battle, plus I ate too much Ice Dragon Fruit and needed to sleep, now I have no more.
Wait, Soft Bone Rabbit?
Gungun climbed down from the Tukang, rushed to Hou Yi, and then hugged his thigh and said to him very skillfully: "Good morning, Hou Yi, great witch, I am hungry, do you have anything to eat?"
"
"Haha." Hou Yi laughed, bent down, touched his rolling head and said: "Of course there are, spiritual fruits, right? I happen to have some here. They are from the golden macaque clan to thank our Houtu tribe for protecting them.
, specially sent last year.”
After saying that, Hou Yi moved his legs and signaled Gungun to let go of him first so that he could get the spiritual fruit for him.
Gungun immediately released his arms, followed behind Hou Yi, and said to him: "Thank you, great witch Hou Yi. By the way, great witch, the little rabbit in your arms looks a bit familiar. It is a soft-bone rabbit."
?"
"Yes, Houtu Zuwu sent you to me yesterday, saying that you would sleep for at least a year and asked me to take care of you. At the same time, he also handed over this child to me. He is a soft-bone rabbit. His name is
It's called white jade." Hou Yi gestured with something on a wall. Then, a pattern appeared, shining with light. Then, some spiritual fruits flew out from the pattern and floated in front of Gun Gun. At the same time, Hou Yi replied to it.
road.
"White Jade? This name is too common. I thought it was referring to a piece of white jade." Seeing so many spiritual fruits, his rolling eyes suddenly narrowed and he swallowed subconsciously. Then, his arms
As soon as he moved, he grabbed a piece of fruit and stuffed it directly into his mouth, chewing it and talking at the same time.
"Well, you're right." Hou Yi turned around and smiled at Gungun: "So, I gave her a new name, Yutu. Brother Gungun, what do you think of this name?"
Gungun paused while chewing the spirit fruit, looked up at Hou Yi, blinked, and asked, "Ha, what's it called?"
