Wandering Gods of Day and Night-Chapter 1118 - 431: Green and Red Fish (Part 3)

"Creak!" 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Roar, roar"

A horde of furry creatures stirred in the tumor tower, with the sounds of mice and bears echoing out.

"Inside this tumor tower, there are spirit monsters working with the demon monk, practicing in Mahayana Temple daily."

"Thank you, Mr. Lu, for your keen observation."

Lu Xingzhou immediately sent out a Hall Secret Letter, summoning lantern after lantern of Divine Lanterns. Today, he wouldn’t be able to kill Fish Monk, but cleaning out these mountain spirits and wild ghosts posed no problem.

At this moment, the sound of slaughter was relentless,

and Zhou Lingyi approached Zhou Xuan, saying, "Brother, I see you’re quite invested in alchemy."

"Elixirs are a big business, of course I’m invested."

"But you should be cautious too. It’s because of you that I realized this business is celestial."

"Don’t worry, I know my limits."

Zhou Xuan agreed,

while Yuan Buyu said, "Good disciple, if you delve into alchemy, I believe you’ll craft fine elixirs. When you start, if you concoct a remarkable one, make a couple for your master to taste."

"Master, I won’t wait until I’ve crafted elixirs to show my filial respect. I have just the thing for you now."

"What is it?"

"Walk down the mountain, keep walking, and you’ll find an inn. The inn’s lamb buns are authentic, thin-skinned and hearty."

"..." Yuan Buyu.

"Nonsense, you think I don’t know those are human meat buns." Yuan Buyu spat and, alongside Zhou Lingyi and Mr. Bai Liu, faded away until they disappeared.

After seeing off his sister and master, Zhou Xuan called Yun Ziliang and the others, "Lao Yun, let’s head back to Mingjiang Prefecture."

"Mr. Lu, farewell."

After greeting everyone, Zhou Xuan bade farewell to Lu Xingzhou: "Whatever you do, make sure the villagers eat Fish Monk raw."

"Rest assured, Mr. Zhou, even if I forget myself, I won’t forget this matter."

"However, Mr. Zhou, why leave in such haste? Come to our Water Fort and have a cup of water wine before you go."

"Perhaps another day, I need to take Mr. Qing Yunzhi to Mingjiang Prefecture to save an old friend."

Zhou Xuan pulled Alchemist Bai Lu over.

"I’m Bai Lu, not Qing Yunzhi..." Alchemist Bai Lu muttered softly.

...

The group left quickly, Alchemist Bai Lu transformed again into the book "Can Tongqi," entering Zhou Xuan’s Secret Realm.

Then, Zhou Xuan activated the "Divine Soul Day Trip," yet while he was momentarily on a day trip, he found himself back at the starting point the next moment.

"What’s wrong, Mr. Zhou?"

Both the painter and Yun Ziliang noticed something was amiss, and they asked Zhou Xuan with concern.

Zhou Xuan glanced at Fish Monk, saying, "It seems he won’t let me leave."

"Who?" the painter asked.

"Fish Monk."

Zhou Xuan described his sensation—during his day trip, the big fish seemed to have cast dozens of anchor hooks that drew his Divine Soul, preventing him from leaving.

But these anchor hooks didn’t appear hostile, for they unlocked freely once Zhou Xuan landed, causing no harm.

"Could this demon monk actually bind you?"

Yun Ziliang was also surprised, and then Wu Ya Monk dismounted his black donkey, approached, and curiously asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you feel anything else in your body?"

"Feel?"

Zhou Xuan closed his eyes and concentrated, and upon careful inspection, he truly felt something.

"Zen Master, I feel something in my body, an invisible hand forming characters within me."

After hearing Zhou Xuan’s description, Wu Ya Zen immediately reassured him, "There’s no need to worry. The one forming characters in you is ’Supreme Secret’."

Supreme Secret is the "Buddhist Secret Method" left by the Ancient Buddha in the bodies of twenty-one Zen masters.

"Why is Supreme Secret forming characters in my body?"

Zhou Xuan asked.

Wu Ya Zen thought for a moment and said, "Perhaps it’s also to thank you for capturing ’Six Desires Zen,’ inviting you to witness the rebirth during the secret method’s activation."

After twenty-one Zen masters perish, "Supreme Secret" will launch, carrying the Ancient Buddha’s "Split Body Will," seeking suitable hosts for parasitism.

The entire process is called "secret method rebirth."

"During rebirth, there are cosmic anomalies, which is a grand Buddhist ceremony. Mr. Zhou, stay and witness this event."

What could Zhou Xuan say? He could only witness.

"Demon Monk, I am bored anyway. Better to witness how the furious residents of Yellow Field Prefecture turn you into fish paste."

Zhou Xuan spoke to Fish Monk with a cheerful smile.

At that moment, the big fish’s tail flashed two streaks of light, one blue and one red...
