Kunpeng is arrogant by nature, and the Golden-winged Dapeng and White Whale are closely related to the Buddha Emperor. The recognition of their master is of extraordinary significance.
The eminent monk Ruohai witnessed everything and sighed secretly in his heart.
The two holy beasts can still see people accurately and understand the great righteousness, but his fellow disciples boast that they are full of scriptures, but they can't understand the simplest truth.
If Daleiyin Temple continues like this, I don’t know how far we can go?
"Senior Monk Ruohai, let's keep walking."
After accepting the Kunpeng brothers, Gu Chen said to the eminent monk Ruohai.
Senior monk Ruohai came to his senses, nodded, and led everyone through the tower forest to the Demon Suppression Tower in the depths.
"Donor Gu, those two witches are extremely difficult to deal with. My senior brother, the abbot, failed to make them relent after asking them many times before. On the contrary, he almost got into trouble with one of them. You have to be careful."
After ordering the monk guarding the tower to open the tower door, the eminent monk Ruohai gave a kind reminder.
"Oh? With Abbot Ruochen's cultivation, now that the witch is trapped in the tower, what other tricks can she play?"
Gu Chen asked in surprise, Abbot Ruochen was a quasi-emperor, and his aura was as deep as the sea. If he read correctly, he was only one step away from enlightenment.
"One of the demon girls has extremely profound attainments in the Soul Dao. Our temple didn't notice this when she was just captured, so she almost fell into the trap." Senior Monk Ruohai explained.
Gu Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes. The soul path is the most bizarre and profound, and its cultivation is also extremely difficult, so there are not many people who practice it.
It is this way that the man in the bamboo hat cultivates. Could it be that the demon girl is really related to the man in the bamboo hat?
Gu Chen felt a little more hopeful. Accompanied by the eminent monk Ruo Hai, a group of people entered the Demon Suppression Tower.
"Bald donkeys, why do you think of me today? Could it be that your conscience has discovered it and decided to let my master and apprentice leave here?"
As soon as they entered the tower, a woman's voice came from deep inside the tower. The voice seemed to have a kind of demonic quality, which made people's hearts agitate.
Gu Chen looked along the source of the sound, and due to the darkness in the tower, he could only vaguely see the silhouettes of two women.
"Amitabha, if the two female donors were willing to answer our temple's questions truthfully, why would they need to be locked up in this dark place for a whole year?"
The eminent monk Ruohai shook his head and expressed his intention: "There are several distinguished guests who want to ask you two questions today. I hope you can answer truthfully today."
After speaking, he looked at Gu Chen and stood at the end of the table.
Gu Chen walked forward and gradually saw the figures of the two women in the darkness.
The monk from the Great Leiyin Temple was very polite. Although the two of them were prisoners, they seemed to be unscathed.
The person who spoke earlier was a woman in green clothes, she looked to be in her thirties, and her appearance was stunning.
Gu Chen frowned slightly. He was pretty sure he had never seen this girl before, but she looked familiar for some reason.
He turned his eyes to another woman, the disciple that the woman in green just mentioned.
This apprentice's appearance is equally stunning, but his temperament is a bit colder.
She is currently practicing cross-legged with her eyes closed, and does not even open her eyes when people come, as if nothing is more important than her practice.
Gu Chen was shocked when he saw this woman, and he almost subconsciously thought, how could it be her?
It's just that he has grown a lot in these years. Although he was surprised on the surface, he remained calm and just stared at the old friend in front of him.
"Who are you? What do you want to ask me?"
The woman in green clothes looked at Gu Chen casually after hearing what the eminent monk Ruohai said.
But when his eyes caught sight of Hai Dongqing next to Gu Chen, his expression froze slightly!
"I didn't expect to meet fellow Taoist Qiu here. It's been a long time."
Hai Dongqing's blind eyes moved and she spoke calmly.
For a moment, everyone looked at him.
"Does the donor know this female donor?" Ruohai said in surprise, but these two women refused to tell them their origins, so they couldn't do anything.
Gu Chen, the island owner and Kunpeng brothers also looked at Hai Dongqing in surprise.
"Of course we know each other. This person was once my heavenly soul general Qiu Mengyi, but there has been no news since she withdrew from heaven many years ago. I didn't expect to meet here."
Hai Dongqing explained.
The former soul general of Heaven?
Gu Chen looked at the woman in green thoughtfully, and saw her pretty face instantly darkened due to Hai Dongqing's words.
"It's just a matter of the past, there's no need to mention it again!"
Qiu Mengyi said coldly that she was a little embarrassed when she met her former colleagues while trapped in the Demon Suppressing Tower.
"Since you were once a member of the Heavenly Court, it will be much easier to handle. I would like to ask fellow Daoist Qiu a few questions."
Gu Chen withdrew his gaze from the female apprentice and said lukewarmly.
As soon as he opened his mouth, the eyelashes of the female disciple who was practicing over there suddenly trembled slightly and she slowly opened her eyes!
"Who are you, also from heaven?"
At this time, Qiu Mengyi looked at Gu Chen curiously.
The person in front of her looked very young, probably about the same age as her disciple.
But looking at the positions of Hai Dongqing and several others, it was obvious that he was the leader, which made her feel curious.
"Master, he is Gu Chen!"
At this time, the female apprentice couldn't help but said, and stood up excitedly.
This reunion was so unexpected that she was a little at a loss and packed herself up in a panic.
After staying in the Demon Suppression Tower all day long, she was inevitably a little sloppy. She looked like an ordinary woman who was afraid of making a fool of herself in front of her sweetheart. Her pretty face was red with embarrassment, and her previous cold demeanor was completely gone.
"What? Is he that Gu Chen?"
Qiu Mengyi was shocked at first when she heard this, and then her expression became even more unkind.
"It turns out to be you!" She said coldly.
"Ye Qingshuang, long time no see."
Gu Chen looked at Ye Qingshuang who was hurriedly packing herself up, and said with a smile.
At this time, he was not only sure that this person was the same person as Ye Qingshuang in his memory, but also remembered why Qiu Mengyi looked familiar.
Back then, when he traveled back in time and space to find the Nine Heavenly Palace, he saw Ye Qingshuang becoming his disciple to a woman in green, and that person was Qiu Mengyi.
Unexpectedly, after so many years, I could reunite with Ye Qingshuang across the vast starry sky, and under such a special environment.
Ye Qingshuang calmed down after the initial panic and answered Gu Chen softly. "Yeah, long time no see..."
There was a hint of complexity and unknown emotions hidden in her soft words.
"Useless girl, it's just a man, look at how I've made you lose your mind!"
Qiu Mengyi saw that her disciple's speech was very different from usual. She gritted her teeth and looked at Gu Chen. "Bad boy, I finally found you. I have many accounts to settle with you!"
Gu Chen couldn't help but frown. He and Qiu Mengyi had never known each other. How could they celebrate the festival?
"Fellow Daoist Qiu, you should be more polite when you speak."
Hai Dongqing's expression turned serious when she saw Qiu Mengyi being disrespectful to Gu Chen.
"Why? Why, after so many years of not seeing you, even Hai Dongqing has corrupted you, following such a boy?"
Qiu Mengyi sneered.
"He is not a yellow-haired boy that you can call by his name casually. He is now the second-generation Emperor of Heaven!"
Hai Dongqing solemnly reminded her, her expression unspeakably serious.
