Chapter 71: The Red Cloud Goes Out, Kunpeng Blocks the Road
In the western part of the prehistoric world, in the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, Hongyun has been here for tens of thousands of years and has been comprehending the Hongmeng purple qi in his body, but it has never had any effect.
He himself is an active person, with clouds floating around and not staying in one place for too long. This time, in order to become a saint as soon as possible and avoid the pursuit of those who are greedy for the purple qi of Hongmeng, he stayed at Zhen Yuanzi for tens of thousands of years, and ate ginseng fruit several times.
Originally, I was eating my food all the time, but now I eat it less and less. He really wanted to go out for a walk, but he knew what was happening outside. Kunpeng was always staring at his every move and going out rashly was very dangerous.
If Kunpeng was the only one, he would not be afraid, but he would be afraid that other monks would hide in the dark and want the fisherman to benefit. So he endured his temperament and continued to stay in the temple and did not come out.
One day, Zhen Yuanzi came to visit Hongyun and brought him a message, which made him a little happy.
"Hongyun, I'll tell you a message, but I don't know whether it's good or bad for you. Even if I don't say it at this time, you will know it in a while."
"Oh, what news is that it makes you hesitate so much, let's hear it!"
"There are fewer demons outside who have been monitoring my Wuzhuang Temple. I heard that Kunpeng has also left this place and returned to the Heavenly Court."
"If this is true, it would be good news. Zhenyuan, I feel that I will be suffocated if I don't go out. If the saint is not accused, I might have to stop myself from being infatuated. Now, Kunpeng, who is flying fast, has left, and there are very few people who can catch up with me. I want to go out and make a good move." Hongyun said impatiently.
"Wait a minute, things should not be as simple as you thought. Maybe this is Kunpeng's plan, and the purpose is to lead you out." Zhen Yuanzi said with some concern.
"Zhenyuan, are you too concerned? By the way, did you find out why Kunpeng didn't leave here?"
"It is said that the demon queen Xihe of the demon clan is pregnant with Di Jun's child. I investigated it and this matter is true. The whole demon clan is busy with this matter."
"It is indeed very likely that Kunpeng left at this time. After all, as the demon master of the demon clan, the demon emperor is about to add a heir, so he should be there." Hongyun said.
"But don't forget that Kunpeng is a quasi-saint. He can completely let his evil corpse go to the heaven and stay here as a confusion."
"Haha, Zhenyuan, if you care, you will be confused. Kunpeng is the quasi-saint. Isn't it? No matter what is left behind, his body or evil corpse, they are not my opponent." Hongyun said with a smile.
Zhen Yuanzi thought it was right. He also knew what kind of temperament of his old friend was. It was really not easy to endure it until now, but he was still not relieved.
Kunpeng was sinister and cunning, and he was vengeful. He hated Hongyun to the core at this time and insisted on keeping his eyes on it until now. It was absolutely impossible for him to have no backup plan. So he continued to persuade Hongyun:
"Hongyun, the news of Kunpeng's departure may not be true. You should observe it for a while before talking. After all, it is more important to travel in life."
"Okay, I'll wait for a while to see." Hongyun didn't want Zhen Yuanzi to worry, and said helplessly.
Zhen Yuanzi sighed, patted Hongyun on the shoulder, and went back to his room.
Hongyun stood up and walked back and forth in the house alone. At the beginning, his steps were impatient. After a while, his steps became stable. Hongyun's expression also changed from being bored at the beginning to being calm, because he suddenly figured it out.
He was originally a red cloud in the sky, and his temperament was naturally like a cloud like floating around and enjoying the mountains and rivers.
But now because of the Hongmeng Purple Qi, many people are jealous of it, and they have to choose to temporarily retreat and endure it. It is not too late to go out after understanding the secret of purple Qi and becoming a saint.
This is a good way, but it is not suitable for Hongyun. He can accept it in a short period of time, but what is eliminated in the long run is Hongyun's self-esteem and arrogance as a innate god. How can a person without dignity and arrogance become a saint?
After thinking about this, Hongyun's heart suddenly became bright, and the Hongmeng purple aura that had not been moved for a long time in his soul actually jumped slightly, which made Hongyun more convinced that his thinking was correct, so he came to the place where Zhenyuan practiced and told him what he thought.
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi was obviously stunned, but after thinking for a while, he realized that what Hongyun said was indeed reasonable, but in that case, if Hongyun wanted to attain enlightenment, he could only go out of Wuzhuang Temple.
"Hongyun, what you said just now is indeed the key to your sainthood, but if you do that, you will have a high chance of falling down, and billions of years of hard work turn into ashes. You have to think clearly." Zhen Yuanzi was not stopping him from going out, but just spoke and suggested.
"Zhenyuan, I have already thought clearly. Since the Hongmeng purple Qi is on me, it means that I have the possibility of becoming a saint. No matter what my ending is, I will not give up, and it is even more impossible to give it to others.
I have been practicing in seclusion here for tens of thousands of years, but there has been no progress. But just now when I broke the fear in my heart and decided to go out, Hongmeng Ziqi responded to me, which shows that only when I go out can I have the opportunity to become a saint, so you don’t have to persuade me anymore, I have made up my mind.” Hongyun said firmly without the randomness of the past.
"Well, since you have made up your mind, I won't say much. Pay attention to safety during this trip, remember to have a chance only when you are alive."
"Okay, Zhenyuan, I'll leave now. Remember to leave more ginseng fruits for me. I'll come here to enjoy it next time, haha!" Hongyun put aside all his negative feelings and said goodbye to Zhenyuanzi with a big smile.
"Don't worry, when will you come and when will you have something to eat?" Zhen Yuanzi said softly as he looked at Hongyun's back as he left. Then, he glanced at the hall where Hongyun had been staying before, and blocked it with a wave of magic power, waiting for Hongyun to arrive next time.
Outside Wuzhuang Temple Gate, as soon as Hongyun stepped out of this place, he was seen by the demon clan who stayed here, so he rushed to the place where Kunpeng was and passed the news.
"You can see clearly, is it sure it is Hongyun Taoist?" Kunpeng asked with a gloomy face.
"Reporting to Master Demon, Xiao Yao can see clearly, and there is no doubt that the red cloud is indeed." Xiao Yao who came to report said affirmatively.
"Very good, I'll give you this reward, go down." Kunpeng nodded with satisfaction, took out a acquired spiritual treasure and rewarded the demon clan who reported the news.
"Thank you, Master Demon, the little demon, you will leave." The little monster carefully accepted the spiritual treasure and retreated happily.
After Kunpeng was left in the room, he couldn't help laughing.
"Hongyun, you can't help but come out. It's not in vain that ancestor, I didn't go to congratulate the demon emperor of my clan for his great joy. I'm waiting for you until now. This time, there is no outsider to help you. See what method you have to escape from ancestor, my hands." After saying that, Kunpeng turned into a demonic wind and disappeared into the room.
At this time, Hongyun was full of energy and did not take his own safety at all. He appeared again in the long-lost prehistoric world. He felt that the sky was taller and bluer, and the ground was thicker and wider. Everything was so beautiful, especially the taste of freedom made him addicted.
At the same time, the Hongmeng purple aura in his body began to slowly turn, in line with his state of mind, and explained a little bit of the Tao of becoming a sage, which made Hongyun excited.
He knew that he had taken the right step, letting go of the constraints in his heart, fearlessness and freedom were the most suitable method for him to become a saint. As long as he was given a while, he would definitely become a saint.
But things always cannot be as satisfactory. When Hongyun flew to an uninhabited mountain, Kunpeng's figure appeared in front of him. He stared at Hongyun fiercely, and a low voice came from his mouth.
"Hongyun, you finally don't become a turtle, are you willing to let it go?"
