Chapter 26: Begging for Mercy
"Little Daoist, the effect of your Saturn Peach is really good. The serious injuries on my body actually healed in an instant.”
After Cheng Yaojin witnessed the miraculous effect of the immortal peach, he was extremely shocked and immediately shamelessly tried to get close to Gao Xuan.
However, Gao Xuan ignored Cheng Yaojin.
"Hey! You little brat, you're still fighting with Uncle Jin? You see, I've also hit you. It was indeed wrong of me to snatch your Taoist treasure back to my house just now.”
Cheng Yaojin continued to apologize shamelessly.
This caused the surrounding devotees to be incomparably shocked.
This was Duke Lu, who had always been overbearing in Chang 'an. He had actually admitted defeat in front of this young Taoist priest. Moreover, it seemed that the Taoist priest was not willing to pay more attention to him.
The gossip was soon leaked out like bamboo shoots after a rain, shocking Chang 'an again.
"Little Taoist, can you give your Uncle Cheng another Saturn Peach? My Cheng family is also a famous figure in Chang 'an.”
Cheng Yaojin saw Gao Xuan's cold expression and felt that Gao Xuan was capable. His tone began to change into a pleading one.
"Father, according to the rules of Spirit Peak Temple, only one peach of immortality can be provided to any visitor every day.”
Cheng Chuliang stood beside Cheng Yaojin and said hurriedly.
"You talk too much."
What awaited Cheng Chuliang was a fierce kick that almost made him fall.
Cheng Yaojin had always thought that a dutiful son would be born under a stick, so he had never been soft-hearted. Now that he had lost a lot of face in this Taoist temple, Cheng Yaojin wanted to vent his anger, but Cheng Chuliang took the initiative to welcome him.
Cheng Chuliang wailed and could only stay as far away from Cheng Yaojin as possible.
After teaching Cheng Chuliang a lesson, Cheng Yaojin continued to pray to Gao Xuan.
Cheng Yaojin was famous for his love of food. He had already understood the taste of the peaches of immortality, and it lingered in his heart for a long time. He wanted to eat five or six more peaches of immortality to satisfy himself.
"No! The rules of the Daoist temple cannot be broken!"
Gao Xuan shook his head heavily with a determined expression.
Cheng Yaojin was helpless. After decades of ups and downs in the court, Cheng Yaojin had seen through many people's expressions.
He knew that Gao Xuan was the kind of person who would not go back on his word. Since he had said the rules of the Taoist temple, he would not break them even if he was beaten to death.
Looking at the tree full of heavenly peaches, Cheng Yaojin almost drooled. In fact, he really wanted to rush up and pick a few heavenly peaches before running away.
However, when he thought about how ruthless Gao Xuan had been, he knew that if he continued to act presumptuously in the Taoist temple, Gao Xuan would really throw him out as Duke Lu.
Cheng Yaojin helplessly left Lingfeng Temple with Cheng Chuliang.
He turned his head back three times with every step he took. He was still reluctant to part with her.
Li Shiming naturally heard about Cheng Yaojin's interesting story in the Taoist temple, and he immediately laughed heartily.
"Haha, this Cheng Yaojin claims to be the devil king of chaos, but he still met with a rebuff from the young Taoist priest.”
Li Shiming looked at Fang Xuanling and laughed. He couldn't remember how he was embarrassed by the young Taoist priest that day.
"That young Daoist seems to be quite capable. Even Sword Saint Pei Min is very respectful in front of him.”
Fang Xuanling stroked his beard and said.
Li Shi Min nodded," This is also the reason why I didn't punish him. However, although I didn't punish him, his Lingfeng Temple will not be peaceful recently. I'm afraid that Daming Temple and Huichang Temple are going to make a move now."”
"In the past two hundred years, Buddhism and Taoism have not fought once. This is a good opportunity.”
Fang Xuanling's eyes were also filled with excitement.
"That's right! However, yesterday's military intelligence reported that the Turks in the north were acting rashly again, and that something major was about to happen.”
Li Shi Min suddenly said worriedly.
"The Turkic lands are like the Great Han's Xiongnu. We need to deal with these barbarians as soon as possible so that the people of the Great Tang can live and work in peace.”
Fang Xuanling muttered.
Because of the Turks, every time the Turks came to the Great Tang border to cause trouble, the people of the Great Tang would suffer.
The Sword Saint Pei Min, who had once trampled the Turks with his sword, was quietly cleaning the temple. As evening approached, the temple finally quieted down, and the smell of incense was extremely strong.
However, the smell of incense in Spirit Peak Temple was different from other places.
The smell of incense in other places was very strong, so strong that it made people dizzy and vomit. However, the smell of incense in Spirit Peak Temple was like immortal energy, refreshing and comfortable.
Sword Saint Pei Min even felt that if he heard more about it, it would be beneficial for him to consolidate his Sword Dao.
After cleaning up, Pei Min recalled Gao Xuan's Arrogant Dragon's Regrets.
That move was really overwhelming. Although outsiders did not see the brilliance, the Sword Saint did.
Pei Min knew that Gao Xuan had only used 10% of his strength to knock Cheng Yaojin down. If he used 20% more strength, even Sword Saint Pei Min would not be able to withstand it.
Pei Min could not help but re-evaluate Gao Xuan. He understood that this young Taoist priest was really an expert who lived in the mountains at night.
Gao Xuan, who had just entered his bedroom, excitedly summoned the system. Today, his main mission had finally been completed. He had already sold 100 pills for 10 taels of gold!
Next was the exciting lottery draw…
