Chapter 119: Laozi, Rakshasa Woman, Ghost Race
Along the way, Bai Ze still slept on the ox’s back during the day, and when everyone else was asleep at night, he would begin to cultivate his techniques.
After breaking through to the Corpse Emperor Transformation, Bai Ze’s body became even more powerful. The Corpse Emperor Vajra Fist was full of vigor, and his body after the Corpse Emperor Transformation had expanded dozens of times.
Indeed, if Bai Ze were to unleash his full size, he would practically become a hundred-meter giant.
However, he forcibly compressed his hundred-meter body down to the size of a child.
It is conceivable how much power this child now possesses, how sturdy his body is, and how his strength has reached a terrifying level.
It’s a pity that, in order to preserve his opportunity to undergo the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Tribulation, he cannot refine his Yang Spirit within his Dantian.
Therefore, although he has now ascended, he is only at the Initial Yang Spirit stage, not even considered a true early-stage Yang Spirit.
However, he is finally a Heavenly Immortal, and his strength has increased dramatically compared to before.
And along this journey, after Bai Ze’s continuous refining, his White Jade Lotus finally sprouted its second leaf.
Now he has two Lotus Leaf Shields. These Lotus Leaf Shields are extremely sturdy and can block attacks from Great Luo Golden Immortals. When he only had one, it already helped him greatly, and now with a second Lotus Leaf Shield, it’s like adding wings to a tiger.
The silver moon hung high, and Bai Ze had just finished his practice and was preparing to go back for a nap. If there were no unexpected events, they would reach Mount Hao tomorrow.
While walking, Bai Ze released two Lotus Leaf Shields, rotating around him, practicing in preparation for a sudden attack.
“Little Brother Bai Ze.”
Suddenly, a silly voice came, it was actually Pigsy.
Bai Ze said, “Old Pig, it’s still early before sunrise. I was just about to go back to catch some sleep. Why are you up so early?”
This Pigsy is very lazy, and if he can stay in bed, he will. Among Tang Sanzang’s disciples, he gets up the latest every day.
It’s rare that he got up before everyone else today.
Pigsy chuckled, mysteriously saying, “I’m looking for you about something, so I got up a bit early.”
Bai Ze: “What is it?”
Pigsy said, “Look, at noon today, we’ll arrive at Mount Hao, which is also the end of your journey.
It’s shameful, I should have helped this time, but Taishang Laojun sent someone to tell me to show mercy.
Little brother, Old Pig is here to say sorry.”
“Wait a minute, wait a minute, the demon on Mount Hao is connected to Taishang Laojun? What’s his relationship with Taishang Laojun?”
Bai Ze was dumbfounded. He didn’t know that Red Boy had any connection with Taishang Laojun, and that there was such a hidden secret.
Pigsy sighed and said, “The demon within Mount Hao naturally has no connection with Old Lord.
It’s just that his mother has a connection with Old Lord. His mother, Rakshasa Woman, is a disciple of Old Lord.”
Bai Ze said, “You’re saying that Princess Iron Fan is a disciple of Taishang Laojun?”
Pigsy was a bit shocked, but thinking about Bai Ze’s identity, it was understandable that he knew some secrets.
Pigsy said, “Since you know that Rakshasa Woman is called Princess Iron Fan.
Then have you ever wondered where she got that Banana Leaf Fan?
Those two Banana Leaf Fans, one Yin and one Yang, both belong to Taishang Laojun.
The Yang fan that creates fire was tricked away by you, and the Yin fan that extinguishes fire is in Princess Iron Fan’s hands.
Furthermore, Princess Iron Fan guards the Flaming Mountain. Do you know the origin of the Flaming Mountain?”
Bai Ze said, “Isn’t it that Old Lord’s alchemy furnace fell over, creating the Flaming Mountain… Oh, right!”
Bai Ze suddenly widened his eyes. Princess Iron Fan guards the Flaming Mountain and has Old Lord’s Banana Leaf Fan in her hand. Bai Ze should have thought that she had a connection with Taishang Laojun.
Bai Ze said, “She’s a ghost woman. Does she have some special luck that made Taishang Laojun take her as a disciple?”
Pigsy said, “Taishang Laojun indeed doesn’t have the habit of taking ghosts as disciples.
The Five Ghost Emperors are all disciples of Taiyi Zhenren.
But this Rakshasa Woman is different. Think about it, why did she call herself Princess Iron Fan after getting the Banana Leaf Fan, and not Madam Iron Fan?”
“Why?”
Pigsy said, “Because she was originally a princess. She is the princess of the Rakshasa Ghost Race. After the Rakshasa clan was destroyed by Buddhism, its people fled to the Underworld and became the Ghost Race.
Five of the Ten Yama Kings are Rakshasa Woman’s elder brothers.
Old Lord took her as a disciple because of this reason.”
I am not afraid of those old ghosts coming, but I have to give Old Lord face. The nine-toothed rake in my hand was made by Old Lord.”
Bai Ze was in a daze. After listening to Pigsy’s words, all the previous doubts were resolved.
Why does Princess Iron Fan have Old Lord’s fan?
Why did she give birth to a son with great luck, destined to become a Post-Heaven Sage?
It turns out that Princess Iron Fan was carrying the luck of the Rakshasa clan.
◈◈◈
Although the Rakshasa Ghost Race is gone now, the Rakshasa Ghost Race has mixed into the Underworld and obtained a position in the Underworld. Several of Rakshasa Woman’s elder brothers have become Yama Kings.
“Old Pig, don’t worry, I don’t blame you. I’m already very grateful for you providing this information. I will defeat that demon with my own hands,” Bai Ze said.
At this time, Pigsy took out a conch shell and said, “Little brother, I know Monkey Bro gave you three life-saving body hairs. Old Pig can’t come empty-handed, right?
Although Old Zhu can’t personally help you, I’ll give you this conch shell.
It contains the water of the entire Yangtze River. That demon comes from Taishang Laojun’s lineage, and I’m afraid he might have some fire-releasing methods.”
Bai Ze took the conch shell, looking at the palm-sized conch shell in surprise: “This small conch shell contains the water of an entire Yangtze River?
That’s too amazing, isn’t it?”
Pigsy said triumphantly, “This is nothing. Old Pig was once Marshal Tianpeng, in charge of the Heavenly Court’s navy.
Although I was cast down to the mortal realm, I can still secretly keep some treasures.”
Bai Ze nodded, “That’s true. You shamelessly flirted with Chang’e and were cast into a pig’s womb. Logically, the Heavenly Court should have confiscated all your magic items for such a serious crime.
It’s very strange that this Nine-Toothed Rake was reborn with you.
It’s obvious to anyone that there’s something fishy going on. It’s normal for you to secretly keep a water-controlling magic item.”
Pigsy, having his secret exposed, was a bit embarrassed. He scratched his head and said, “Those guys are about to wake up, Old Pig has to go back and pretend to sleep.”
Saying that, Pigsy pulled out a light orb in his mind, then shot it into Bai Ze’s mind. Bai Ze immediately understood how to operate the conch shell.
Pigsy turned and left.
“Thank you, Old Zhu,” Bai Ze said gratefully.
He didn’t expect that this silly Pigsy was actually so loyal, not only coming to deliver information in advance but also giving him a magic item.
Bai Ze continued to return to the camp.
However, as Bai Ze was walking, suddenly Sha Wujing ran over again.
Bai Ze looked at Sha Wujing in surprise, thinking, “Did you guys all agree on this?”
“Hehe, little brother.”
Coming in front of Bai Ze, Sha Wujing smiled.
Bai Ze said, “Old Sha, do you have something for me?”
Sha Wujing said, “Isn’t it that we’re about to reach Mount Hao? I know that Big Brother gave you three golden body hairs.
That idiot was acting suspiciously just now, probably also came to give you a treasure, right?
Since both of them have gifts, then Old Sha can’t be stingy either.
Little brother, take a look at this.”
Suddenly, a dry twig appeared in Sha Wujing’s hand.
Bai Ze asked, “What is this?”
Sha Wujing said, “This is a Cassia Sprout, which can help little brother as a substitute. In times of crisis, you can also let it grow into a Cassia Tree and hide inside.”
Bai Ze immediately widened his eyes, looking at the dry twig in disbelief, then looked up at the moon that was about to disappear.
Bai Ze said, “This wouldn’t be the Cassia Tree on the moon, would it?”
Sha Wujing said, “That’s right. You see, Wu Gang chops the Cassia Tree on the moon day and night, not knowing how many years have passed, but when has that Cassia Tree ever been chopped down?
It’s not that the Cassia Tree is hard, but actually the Cassia Tree has an ordinary texture.
It’s just that the Cassia Tree can recover extremely quickly. Wu Gang chops a mark on the Cassia Tree with his axe, and as soon as his axe is lifted, the Cassia Tree recovers again.”
Saying that, Sha Wujing broke the twig in his hand, and the broken twig quickly extended tendrils, sticking together, and in a moment, it was as good as new.
“So magical!” Bai Ze took the twig and tried to break it, and indeed it automatically grew back together.
Bai Ze scratched a mark on it, and the mark also disappeared instantly.
This twig is awesome!
If it’s like Sha Wujing said, in times of crisis, let this Cassia Sprout grow into a Cassia Tree, and then hide inside, wrapped within it, it wouldn’t be easy for others to open this tree.
And this twig can also act as a substitute, it’s simply a life-saving treasure.
Ying Lao said in his mind, “Cassia, Fusang, Jianmu, these are the three great divine trees of ancient times.
Among them, Fusang is a top-grade immortal seed. He can actually take out Cassia, you might as well try to get some information out of him, to see if he knows the secret of the immortal seed.”
