Traveling through the heavens from the prequel of the Lotus Lantern

Chapter 559 Hualong, don’t try to confuse the public with your lies here.
Inside the peach grove.

I saw two beautiful, graceful, and excellent-looking women sitting opposite each other in an environment filled with peach blossoms.

They drank wine, ate snacks, and played chess enthusiastically.

Suddenly, after the woman in green gave birth to a child, the little fox, who seemed to have stolen the chicken, smiled like a silver bell and immediately said to the woman in yellow:
"Wick, Five Sons in a Row, you lose, it's your turn to drink."

Just after the woman in Huang Shang, that is, the lamp wick, finished her drink in one gulp, Yancai looked at her red cheeks and couldn't help but raise her head and sighed:

"Hua Long, I have to say that although your Peach Blossom Drunk is clear and mellow, with an unforgettable taste, it is actually a bit strong. Even an immortal cannot drink much of it."

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure jumped down from the peach branch.

"Since you can't drink much, you still have to win or lose in the chess game to compete for wine." Yang Jiao glanced at Yancai and then looked at the wick. Seeing that she had the aroma of peach blossoms and wine all over her body, she immediately brushed her sleeves.

"Tsk, tsk, I feel bad. I just said that by chance, Dengwick came into contact with the barrier outside the peach forest. Why did you change your temper and keep her here?"

After the wick dissipated the aroma of wine on his body, his dizzy head suddenly regained its clarity. After hearing the colorful words, Noyu hurriedly replied:

"I was originally the wick fairy who guarded the lamp oil in the Barefoot Immortal's Buddhist Cave. Because I fell asleep while guarding the lamp, the book spirits in the library got into a dispute for some reason."

"They started fighting each other. During the fight, they accidentally caught fire and set the library on fire."

"So much so that he was punished to face the wall and think about his life for 100 years."

"I'm not angry with the punishment imposed by the Heavenly Official. It's obviously those book spirits who are the most guilty. Why did they only punish me and escape to the lower world privately?"

"His Royal Highness Hualong is kind-hearted. He took pity on me because I was hiding from the pursuit of the heavenly soldiers, so he took me in."

Yancai said angrily:
"Hua Long and I grew up together. I know that he is not a nosy character. For hundreds of years, you are the only exception."

Yang Jiao said quietly:
"You failed to perform "A Dream of a Thousand Autumns" on me, so you want to perform it on me in the real world?"

Yancai said angrily:
"Who makes you so cunning? You have already broken through to the Golden Immortal Realm, but you have been hiding it all the time. When I finally advanced to the Heavenly Immortal Realm and learned "A Dream of a Thousand Autumns", I found that I was doing useless work."

Suddenly, Yang Jiao's eyes flashed slightly and he said with deep meaning:

"The wind is very noisy today, and a group of guests have arrived."

Just as the two women looked puzzled, outside the peach grove, Han Zhongli and others were about to break the barrier, when a winding path suddenly appeared in front of them, leading directly to the depths of the peach grove.

Everyone looked at each other and walked in without any hesitation.

After a while, Tieguai Li couldn't help but said doubtfully when he saw the wick:
"Dengwick, why are you in Taolin?"

Deng Wick said coldly:
"It turns out it's you who are burning bridges and being ungrateful."

Suddenly, embarrassment appeared on the faces of Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli.

"We are not trying to burn bridges or help you. We just don't want you to make the same mistake again and again."

After Tieguai Li finished speaking, Han Zhongli quickly added:
"Yes, yes, if the Jade Emperor is angered, where can you hide with an order?"

The wick's expression became more and more indifferent:

"We agreed that I would help Lu Dongbin find his way back from his lost ways and not kill innocent people indiscriminately, and you would go to the Jade Emperor to intercede for me and let me return to heaven. But afterwards you went back on your promise and asked me to surrender to heaven. It's despicable. Shameless.”

Han Zhongli looked even more embarrassed:
"We just don't want you to continue to make mistakes. It's best to surrender first, and then we can help you plead with the Jade Emperor. You have to have confidence in us."

At this time, Yang Jiao said calmly:
"It's not that you are so soft-spoken. As long as Deng Xin doesn't surrender, you can't let her return to the heaven without any fault."

"Prince Hualong, do you know that you are one of the Eight Immortals destined by heaven?"

Yang Jiao was indifferent and asked:
"So what?"

He Xiaoyun frowned slightly:
"Then you don't know clearly that the Dragon King of the East China Sea was deceived by the dragon demon's black dragon ball, and his temperament changed drastically, and he became a demon. He became sensitive, suspicious, violent, capricious, and willful and ruthless."

A hint of sarcasm appeared on Yang Jiao's face. In the original plot line, even if the Dragon King of the East China Sea became possessed and became particularly cruel, he put away his murderous intention after hearing Yan Cai say she was pregnant.

The Demon Shang was like this, but after the Jade Emperor heard the news, he still wanted to extract the soul of Yancai, who was pregnant with Liujia.

So, who is the fairy and who is the devil?

Thinking of this, he looked indifferent:
"Becoming a demon? What's wrong with becoming a demon? Not only can you develop a desire for self-improvement, but you can also gain power far beyond your own."

"Does the so-called power really distinguish between good and evil? It's just that the winner is good and the loser is evil."

Tieguai Li Ting's expression was extremely embarrassing:
"Goodness is right, and evil is evil. Since ancient times, good and evil have not coexisted. Do you still want to insist on this?"

He Xiaoyun also said:
"Prince Hualong, since you and I met, I have been able to feel that you are far from indifferent as you appear on the outside. Otherwise, Tieguai Li and Han Zhongli had not recovered their magic power, and Han Xiangzi, Lu Dongbin and I were still It’s time to be mortal.”

"You have countless ways to hinder us or even kill us."

"In the end, they just gave away a thousand taels of gold, and then hid themselves in this peach forest."

"It can be seen that at the critical moment of right and wrong, you have a bottom line of what to do and what not to do."

"Nowadays, tens of thousands of Dawn people on the shores of the East China Sea are suffering from the epidemic. Only when we, the Eight Immortals, return to our throne can we cross the East China Sea, collect elixirs, and save all people."

"Isn't it because you live in seclusion in the peach forest because you have the father who raised you and the well-being of thousands of creatures on the other, and you don't know how to deal with yourself, so you choose to escape?"

When Han Xiangzi heard the word "escape", he also had something to say:
"In the past, I was trapped in love, and I also had a world-weary heart. I just wanted to escape from anything I didn't want to face. After experiencing all kinds of things, I also figured out what the justice of the common people means."

"As one of the Eight Immortals destined by Heaven, how can you disregard the spiritual lives of thousands of people for your own selfishness? If you do this, not only will you not be worthy of being an immortal, but you will even be a human being in vain."

When Yang Jiao heard this, he still looked expressionless:

"Since ancient times, there are different explanations for becoming an immortal or a demon. The demonic path is called cutting off common fate, while the righteous path is called calamity. All relatives and friends must die."

"Tell me, what happened to you is because you were manipulated."

"Perhaps the medicine island that suddenly appeared in the east of the East China Sea, and the epidemic disease that appeared on the coast of the East China Sea for unknown reasons, are also intentional."

"Who has such magical power and such courage, who is not afraid of all the gods and Buddhas and dares to risk the disapproval of the world?"

Without waiting for anyone to say anything, he asked and answered himself:
"Who else could it be besides the gods and Buddhas themselves? And what is the difference between such gods and Buddhas and demons? They are just wearing an extra layer of hypocrisy and pretentiousness."

Tieguai Li looked angry:

"Absurd, nonsense. Since he is a god and Buddha, he naturally has to take responsibility for all sentient beings in the three realms. How can he ignore the spiritual lives of thousands of people?"

"Hua Long, don't try to confuse the public with your lies here."
