Chapter 352

"This sword... this sword is named, Qingping?"

"Hmm? Isn't it obvious?" Tang An had an expression that said "I think it's very obvious."

Jiuling Yuansheng swallowed his saliva; it really wasn't his fault for being blind, the key was that the three big characters before clearly stated it was the Jinbao Sword.

Who would associate a seemingly ordinary Jinbao Sword with no spiritual power with the Tongtian Jiaozhu's Qingping Sword?

"But I have to correct you, when it was with me, it was called Jinbao, I didn't trick you."

Hehe...

He had been wondering before, he hadn't heard that the Lishan Laomu had any Jinbao Sword. So... it was this kind of Jinbao Sword!

"So who is your master?"

"Tongtian Jiaozhu, didn't you know?"

Jiuling Yuansheng's hand shook, and he almost dropped the Qingping Sword.

"I... I also thought I knew." But clearly, he thought wrong.

So his Yellow Lion grandson almost kidnapped the disciple of the Tongtian Jiaozhu?

Not only that, but he also stole the Tongtian Jiaozhu's Qingping Sword into the cave?

How did this matter sound so fantastical?

"Dao... uh..."

"Senior, you had better put the sword away." Jiuling Yuansheng carefully held the Qingping Sword and returned it to Tang An.

As for the treasures in the cave from the Dingpa Banquet, Tang An hadn't collected them after getting drunk. He was truly glad that he had restrained his grandsons and didn't have any bad intentions.

"I told you it's called Jinbao, it really isn't called Qingping right now." Tang An took back the Qingping Sword, too lazy to continue correcting Jiuling Yuansheng. "Forget it, next time you see it, it will be called Qingping again, call it whatever you want."

Tang An stood up and collected all the treasures in the demon cave into the Wealth Gathering Ring.

Under the temptation of such huge benefits, Jiuling Yuansheng had the ability to suppress the lion pack, with no demon daring to act recklessly, which already explained his character and leadership.

"Alright, the matter is resolved, the tribulation is over, next we will go our separate ways and meet again in the future."

Tang An stood up and looked at the lion demons in the cave, finally giving the Yellow Lion Spirit a piece of advice: "Next time, don't be so greedy for treasures, not having the ability to take those treasures is no different from courting death."

The Yellow Lion Spirit bowed immediately, "Yes, yes, yes, this little demon has learned his lesson."

Watching Tang An and her group leave Leopard Head Mountain, the Yellow Lion Spirit couldn't help but be curious and asked Jiuling Yuansheng a question.

"Why did she get so many treasures, yet she gave me that advice?"

Jiuling Yuansheng sighed and shook his head, "You don't have that ability, yet you covet treasures that don't match your ability, naturally it's no different from courting death."

"But she is different."

"How is she different?"

"With her background and means, for the treasures she has her eyes on, it's the owners who are no different from courting death."

The Yellow Lion Spirit suddenly realized, "So my behavior is stealing, and her behavior is robbing?"

Jiuling Yuansheng looked at the Yellow Lion Spirit, unable to refute for a moment.

"I understand, I understand!"

"Understand what?"

"Grandson understands why, when I said that righteousness and evil cannot coexist, she said that grandson was the righteous one."

"..." Jiuling Yuansheng's silence was deafening.

At first glance, this sentence sounded wrong, but upon closer inspection, there was nothing wrong with it at all.

On the journey west.

Tang An and her group left Leopard Head Mountain and continued west.

She lay on Jiuyue's back and recorded the three tribulations in the Journey to the West Calamity Book.

Which three tribulations?

Naturally, being robbed of treasures by demons, encountering danger in the cave, and the tribulation of Jiuling Yuansheng.

Of course, who was actually in danger in the cave didn't matter. What mattered was that as long as the Journey to the West Calamity Book acknowledged the tribulation, it was fine.

"Right."

Tang An climbed up suddenly, "Later, one of you go and drag Marshal Tianpeng down again."

"The prince hasn't been taught well yet, why run so fast, I'm not a demon, can I eat him?"

Nezha nodded but didn't take action.

Because it didn't concern Tang An, he didn't have much interest in participating.

Sun Wukong laughed: "When we rest later, I'll go up to heaven and drag him down once."

Yang Jian asked: "Master, are you not taking Yuhuazhou?"

Tang An sat up, her arms resting on her knees, biting the end of her pen, looking like a scholar-rogue.

"Forget it, I was so busy that I forgot about this."

"Subduing a Jiuling Yuansheng is more important than taking a Yuhuazhou."

"Besides, the king of Yuhuazhou is indeed for the country and the people, let my noble father go and talk to him."

Anyway, whether she takes it or not, according to the trend of the Great Tang, by the time she reaches Lingshan, the territory of the Great Tang will be about the same.

Yang Jian nodded, "Then for the demons further on, will Master take them all back to the Jie Sect?" Actually, he wanted to remind Tang An that not all demons are good to take into the Jie Sect.

Of course, Tang An wasn't stupid; she just wanted to flourish the Jie Sect, not ruin it.

"There aren't many demons left, just three rhinoceroses, the Jade Rabbit, and the three demons of Lion Camel Ridge."

"For the three rhinoceroses, I'll consider whether to take them back to the Jie Sect after seeing them. As for the Jade Rabbit, I'm not interested."

"As for Lion Camel Ridge..."

Tang An's eyes turned cold, "The Green Lion and White Elephant... were originally immortals of my Jie Sect."

"I know their temperaments, but after being taken away by Lingshan, how did they change and commit such monstrous sins?"

Yang Jian raised his eyes slightly, "Master is saying... just like the Green Lion Spirit of Wujiguo, they were all controlled by demonic Qi and lost their reason?"

Tang An shook her head slightly, "I haven't seen them yet, so I can't draw a conclusion."

"Everything can only be concluded after reaching the foot of Lingshan and seeing the Green Lion and White Elephant."

"I hope..."

"I hope this time, they won't make a big mistake again."

The group continued west, walking and stopping, and walked for more than half a month.

When passing a large river, Tang An let everyone stop here to rest.

Yang Jian took Xiaotian Quan to buy food for Tang An.

Sun Wukong was catching fish in the river; now with the Water-Avoiding Pearl, he didn't have to worry about the river water wetting his fur.

Nezha accompanied Tang An on the shore, starting a fire to roast fish later.

"What are you looking at?"

He followed Tang An's gaze and saw a frog under a tree and a sparrow on the tree.

The frog looked up at the tree, and the sparrow looked down, the two creatures seeming to be competing.

"It's quite nice."

"Ah?"

"The Three Realms are at peace, and I still have the leisure to watch a frog and a sparrow argue, it's quite nice."

Nezha nodded, understanding the meaning in Tang An's words.

In fact, isn't the present also every ordinary yet interesting day?

"The sparrow doesn't understand the frog's sadness, the frog doesn't understand the sparrow's darkness."

"Guess which one of them will win the argument?"

Tang An turned her head and realized that Nezha had unknowingly gotten so close to her.

It gave her such a fright that her heart seemed to skip a beat.
