Buddha is the Tao

After pressing the escape light, Zhou Qing landed on a protruding high ground and looked at the mountains in the distance. On the left, there were poisonous clouds and miasma, and on the right, there were poisonous insects crawling. There were many deep ravines in the mountains, with gurgling water, and a dark scene. There were many stone caves and hideous rocks. Several deep pools of mud with a radius of more than ten miles were bubbling with rotten grass and silt accumulated in them, fermenting and rotting, which made people nauseous.

"What a poor mountain and bad water!"

Zhou Qing sighed in his heart. There was a strong demonic aura in many valleys here, which gathered but did not disperse. It rushed straight up. When the strong wind blew, there was a fishy smell. There was no one living in the hundreds of miles behind him. It was a wasteland. Obviously, there were fierce and violent monsters entrenched.

"Although Dragon Girl Ao Luan is the Dragon God who controls the clouds and rain in the Southern Continent, the Southern Continent is too big, with poor mountains and bad water. I am afraid that she will not come and let it perish on its own. It is not surprising that I don't know the specific situation, but I can't beat four hands with two fists. I don't even know the specific distribution of monsters. If I go in and encounter some forbidden formations, or a monster king master with tens of thousands of monster soldiers, won't I suffer a great loss? Not to mention no loss, I am afraid that I can't subdue a few monsters, which is difficult to deal with!"

It turned out that Dragon Girl Ao Luan told Zhou Qing about the division of some powerful forces in the Southern Continent. For example, Jilei Mountain, Cangmang Mountain, Wudang Mountain, the monster kings in these mountains of hundreds of thousands of miles, and the Shushan Sword Sect, Zhou Qing had no way to provoke them. Most of the people in the Great Wilderness Mountain who had just arrived in the Earthly Immortal Realm were cultivators, and they were protected by the South China Sea. Zhou Qing had to at least give Ao Luan some face.

Only in some mountains where Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou meet, it is a place that neither side cares about. The sky is high and the emperor is far away. It is very desolate and hidden. There is no spiritual platform. There are few spiritual medicines, but there are many filthy things. Therefore, immortals are unwilling to come and Buddhas are unwilling to care. Only some relatively weak monsters are entrenched. The relationship is complicated and chaotic. Zhou Qing thought in his heart that it was a good opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

Although the place is not very good, it is better than nothing. If there is any trouble, the worst thing is to pat your butt and leave. In the earthly immortal world, Zhou Qing is relaxed.

"My identity as the Great Emperor Gouchen should be useful, hehe, hehe!" Zhou Qing laughed in his heart. Just as he was about to use the magic formula, a violent evil wind blew behind him. The sky was dark and the sun and moon were dark. Zhou Qing quickly dodged and hid his body, and used the sky eye to watch in the crack of the rotten stone.

I saw black clouds rolling in the sky, with a yellow aura in the middle. Zhou Qing could see clearly that it was a monster, wearing a yellow cape, a black tights, tiger-skin boots, and a fierce look. He held a young woman in each hand. They were pretty, looked similar, and wore similar clothes. They were a pair of sisters. They were all scared and fainted. There was no movement.

The monster was not ugly, but had a dignified appearance and a restrained spirit. Zhou Qing could not tell what its prototype was, but the overwhelming demonic aura was something that human cultivators could not emit.

"Well, it has some Taoist skills, much stronger than the toad in my house. Look, the six-eyed toad, who is known as the number one master of the demon clan in the human world, is just a chores in the earthly immortal world. My subordinates are also a little weaker."

The monster did not notice Zhou Qing, but just stirred up the demonic wind in the sky, and in a blink of an eye, it fell into the distant mountains and disappeared.

Zhou Qing thought for a while, then activated his spiritual sense, chanted a spell, and stomped his feet gently on the ground.

"Which immortal disturbed this old man!"

A puff of green smoke rose from where Zhou Qing stomped his feet, and then two people appeared, an old man with a white beard, a thin body, wearing a green shroud, and holding a cane, followed by a naked evil ghost, 12 feet tall, holding a steel fork, with a green face and fangs.

The old man looked impatient and had a faint smell of alcohol on his body. The evil ghost's mouth and hands were greasy. It was obvious that he was in a good mood and was called out by Zhou Qing with a spell.

"You Taoist, it's unreasonable to disturb our drinking. If you have something to say, tell me quickly, don't make a fuss!" The evil ghost looked at Zhou Qing and shouted loudly.

Although the old man was drunk and impatient, he remained somewhat sober. When he saw Zhou Qing's face, he rubbed his dim eyes again, and took a closer look. He immediately broke out in a cold sweat, and was so scared that his soul flew away. He knelt down and shouted loudly: "I didn't know that the emperor was coming, and I didn't welcome you. Please forgive me, the emperor. I deserve to die, please forgive me."

The old man kowtowed repeatedly, hitting the rocky ground, and it was obvious that he was extremely scared.

"What emperor, old land god, are you drunk! Or you are crazy! Hahahaha!" The naked evil ghost was stunned when he saw the land god kowtow, and laughed twice. He happened to see Zhou Qing's dress and appearance carefully, and he stood there in a daze.

Bang! The steel fork in his hand also fell to the ground, and the naked evil ghost also knelt on the ground like the land god, "I didn't know that the Emperor Gou Chen was here, and I made a mistake in my words. Please spare me, Emperor! Please spare me!" He cried sadly, his body trembled, his teeth chattered, and his words were a little unclear.

"Hehe, my identity as the Emperor Gou Chen is really useful. The old Jade Emperor didn't give it for nothing. I said that some immortals who ascended to heaven wanted to be officials in the heavenly palace. It turns out that there are benefits."

Zhou Qing comprehended the Taoist classics and the Kunlun secret method, and found some spells to summon gods and soldiers, such as throwing beans to make soldiers and calling the wind and rain. In the past, in the Changping underground of the human world, Zhou Qing saw Wen Lanxin summoning heavenly soldiers to deal with the fierce ghost army souls, but at that time, Wen Lanxin's skills were too weak for Zhou Qing now, and he could only summon a little clone of the heavenly soldiers and gods.

This kind of magic to call the gods is only authentic in Kunlun. No matter how powerful your magic power is or how profound your Taoism is, other casual cultivators cannot call out gods for their own use. Now Zhou Qing can summon complete heavenly soldiers and generals, and four-sided gods with the art of calling gods. However, these heavenly soldiers and generals, and four-sided gods are all fully conscious and powerful. They are living people in the heavens. It is one thing to call them out, and it is another thing whether they help you fight or not.

If you have no power or position in the heavenly court, and you call out gods for help, then congratulations, you have violated the heavenly rules, and the gods you called out will be the first to deal with you, and take you to the heavenly court for punishment, and you will inevitably be stabbed on the immortal beheading platform.

The same thing happened when Zhou Qing summoned the Eight Heavenly Dragons with the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree. Previously, he summoned a clone, which had little power and consciousness. If he summoned the real body, Zhou Qing would be the first to suffer. The Eight Heavenly Dragons would see that you are a Taoist priest and summoned the Buddhist guardians. It would be strange if they didn't eat you. Now Zhou Qing doesn't dare to summon.

Previously, Zhou Qing didn't have the spells and formulas to summon the gods, so he thought that the Emperor Gou Chen was useless. Now it seems that this is a huge lucrative job.

"You little gods of the underworld are so derelict in your duties and covet blood and food below. You dare to neglect this emperor when you see him. It's really hateful." Zhou Qing said angrily.

The mountain god and the land god almost wet their pants when they heard it. Dozens of days ago, the Heavenly Court conferred the Emperor Gou Chen and announced to the three realms that except for the places not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court, all other places had received the news and Zhou Qing's appearance and form.

Mountain gods and land gods are the Yin gods of the underworld, so they are naturally under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Court. Moreover, these small gods have extremely low status, even lower than the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Gods. If you want to report a major event, you must first submit a report to the City God, then the City God submits it to the judge, then the judge submits it to the reincarnated Five Great Emperors, then the Five Great Emperors submit it to the Ten Kings of Hell, and then the Ten Kings of Hell discuss the report together and discuss it with Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. When the Heavenly Court holds a court meeting, go to the Lingxiao Palace to ask the Jade Emperor. The Gou Chen Emperor is one of the four emperors of the Heavenly Palace, only below the Jade Emperor. The difference in status between the two is like comparing an ant with an elephant.

Now it can be said that even if Zhou Qing killed the two Yin gods with one punch, it would be a matter of course. When the mountain god and land god heard Zhou Qing's bad tone, they were of course scared out of their wits and begged for mercy again and again.

"You are guilty of negligence. I will record your fault for the time being. I will ask you, where is this place? Which mountain god and land god are you from?"

Zhou Qing's tone softened a little. He asked the point. His original intention was to summon the mountain god and land god to find out the truth. Now he just wanted to scare the other party and show off the majesty of Emperor Gou Chen.

"My Lord, this mountain is called Black Wind Mountain, with a radius of more than 9,000 miles. We are the mountain god and land god of Black Wind Mountain." The old land god and the mountain god did not dare to stand up, and knelt on the ground to answer.

"This Black Wind Mountain is full of evil spirits, and the surrounding city is barren and uninhabited. It is obvious that there are violent demons causing trouble and harming lives. I just saw a yellow gas in a demon wind from a distance. It was a monster holding two women. I was about to capture it, but I didn't expect that the monster went into the mountain. Do you know if there is any powerful demon king in this mountain?" Zhou Qing asked.

"This Black Wind Mountain is located at the junction of Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou. It is a small mountain with poor mountains and bad water. It is not suitable for practicing Taoism and cultivating the truth. It only produces evil spirits. There is a poisonous dragon pond in the mountain, and there is a poisonous dragon cave on the pond. There used to be a poisonous dragon in the poisonous dragon pond. A hundred years ago, it survived the nine great heavenly tribulations and turned into a dragon body. It swallowed miasma and spit out poisonous fog. It had some magical powers and means. Later, it collected hundreds of small demons in the mountain and lived in the poisonous dragon cave. This poisonous dragon is cruel and murderous, and is born with There is a silver root, and every time it goes down the mountain, it either captures people to eat, or captures beautiful women to bring up the mountain for its own pleasure. As a result, nine out of ten houses in the area of ​​hundreds of miles are empty, and there are few people. In the distant city, there is a Taoist priest from the Tang Dynasty sitting in charge, so the poisonous dragon is a little cautious, and the Taoist priest dare not go up the mountain to chase and kill, so the stalemate remains, and the poisonous dragon occasionally goes to the city to harass. This time, the emperor must have seen that the silver dragon has captured a woman again. "

"How can this be? I was appointed by heaven and was named the Great Emperor Gou Chen. I was sent to the underworld to supervise the demons. It would be fine if the demons devoted themselves to cultivation and transcendence, but such cruel demons who regard living beings as grass must be eliminated."

Zhou Qing was furious, but he secretly laughed in his heart: "This time God is helping me. Although the Black Wind Mountain is a little small and the environment is a little bad, it is at least a piece of land and it does not attract people's attention. It is just right for the buds to develop. A spark can start a prairie fire. I will slowly make plans. Anyway, I started from scratch now and I don't lose anything."

Hearing that there were only a hundred or so little demons in the Black Wind Mountain, Zhou Qing immediately thought of subduing them.

"You two hairy gods, you only care about blood and food. You have produced such a cruel monster. Why don't you report it to the underworld and ask the ghost soldiers to take it, but you want this emperor to do it personally. This dereliction of duty should be executed on the spot to uphold the law of heaven."

Zhou Qing then said angrily.

"I deserve to die, I deserve to die, please spare me, please spare me, it's not that I don't report it, but I am a weak person and can't say anything. What's more, the poisonous dragon is already a fairy, and it has escaped the reincarnation and is not under the jurisdiction of the underworld. Since the emperor has issued a decree, I will go down and report to the city god, report to the king of hell, and ask the ghost soldiers to take it."

The mountain god and the land god kowtowed repeatedly.

"Hmph! The God of the Underworld is responsible for watching over the six reincarnations. How can you act rashly? Moreover, this emperor has important matters to attend to this time. If the news leaks out, even if you, the King of Hell, come, you will not be able to bear it." Zhou Qing threatened again.

"I dare not leak the news, I dare not leak the news!" The mountain god and the land god were smart and immediately knew that Zhou Qing was warning them not to talk nonsense.

The mountain god and the land god were the lowest-ranking gods. Although they had some magic power, they were still a little behind the Ox-Headed and Horse-Faced Gods. Zhou Qing naturally did not take them seriously.

The human world was an abandoned place. Although there were mountains, there were no mountain gods and land gods to manage them.

"Okay, I will spare you for now. Take me to the Poison Dragon Cave, recapture the evildoer, and restore peace to the living beings. Get up!"

Zhou Qing said everything he should say, and stopped threatening the two poor guys.

The mountain god and the land god stood up, set up white clouds, and led the way in front. In a few breaths, they arrived at the Poison Dragon Pond and the Poison Dragon Cave.

After landing on a mountain peak in the distance, the old land god bowed and pointed to the opposite side and said, "Emperor, that is the Poison Dragon Cave, and below is the Poison Dragon Pond."

There was still a tall mountain on the opposite side. There was a platform of hundreds of acres between the mountainside. There were several lush bamboos planted, and the ancient pines and thumb-thick bamboos were swaying all over the mountain. It was very different from the swamps and muddy waters that Zhou Qing had seen just now, and it had a taste of immortals.

It was a bit strange that there was a poisonous dragon pond with a radius of thousands of acres under the two peaks. The lake water was emerald green and bottomless. Even if there was a breeze, the lake water did not move at all, as if it was a piece of jade.

There is a big cave behind the platform of hundreds of acres. There is a red lacquered stone door inlaid with gold, with three big characters on it, which is the Poison Dragon Cave. There are several little demons holding flaming weapons and fighting each other on the flat ground at the entrance of the cave.

"Go and call the poisonous dragon out, and ask him to turn over a new leaf immediately, disperse the little demons, concentrate on practicing Taoism, do more good deeds and merits to make up for his sins. Otherwise, he will be thrown into reincarnation and will never be reborn!" Zhou Qing ordered the mountain god and the land god.

How dare the mountain god neglect it? He quickly flew over the Poison Dragon Pond. Just as he was shouting, five or six little demons stopped their training. One of them had a pointed head, but it turned out to be a deer. He pointed a big knife at the mountain god and shouted, "Where are you from? You are here to make trouble in Black Wind Mountain. Tell me your name quickly or you will die!"

"I'll kill you, you bold demon. You don't recognize me. I am the mountain god of Black Wind Mountain. Tell the silver dragon to come out to meet Emperor Gou Chen. If you are late, I will make sure that all of you will never be reincarnated." The mountain god roared.

"So it's you, the hairy god. This Black Wind Mountain is the territory of my Poison Dragon King. Although you are a mountain god, you are still under the control of my king. We don't know what the Emperor Gou Chen is. You dare to shout outside the Poison Dragon Cave. You are really bold. My Poison Dragon King is enjoying himself with a beauty and cannot be disturbed. In this way, you come to my Poison Dragon Cave every night to make a night watch, light a fire, and wash things, and I will spare your life." The little deer demon scolded.

The other little demons laughed and didn't take the mountain god seriously at all.

"Bold! Monster, die!" Hearing the laughter of several little demons, the mountain god was furious and swung the steel fork to stab.

The little deer demon was not prepared at all. He came to meet him with a knife. The two sides fought for several rounds. After all, the mountain god was a Yin god. He had infinite strength, exquisite fork skills, and a strong Taoism. He was equivalent to a cultivator who had passed several great heavenly tribulations.

The little zhangzi demon was at most a demon in the middle stage of returning to the void, so he was no match for the demon. Seeing that he could not hold on, he was about to flee, but was suddenly stabbed by a fork, and three transparent holes appeared on his body.

Just as his soul was about to leave, he was hit by the mountain god with a fork, and his body and soul were destroyed.

"Kill this guy and avenge brother zhang!"

"Cut this hairy god!"

When the four or five little demons left saw that zhangzi was dead, they immediately rushed over, but they were suddenly attacked by the land god who raised his crutches from behind, killing three of them in a row, and the mountain god stabbed another one to death. Only one zhangzi demon was left, who ran fast and entered the poisonous dragon cave to call for help.

"Damn Mao God, I didn't bother you, but you came to my cave to kill people. You are simply lawless!"

With a cannon shot, the door of the Poison Dragon Cave opened, and hundreds of little demons rushed out, each holding a knife, a gun, a stick, holding a flag, and beating a gong. Zhou Qing had seen the man rushing out of the door with a halberd in his hand, and stood on the platform at the door, looking at the mountain god and the land floating on the Poison Dragon Pond.
