Fang Jian from Earth became an immortal official in the Heavenly Court. Not only does he have a golden finger, but the Jade Emperor also values him.
So do you think Fang Jian will pretend to ...
Not to mention that Fang Jian and Erlang Shen have some friendship, just the fact that Erlang Shen sent the six brothers from Meishan to invite you outside the West Heaven Gate shows how much he values you. If you don't go, wouldn't that be a slap in Erlang Shen's face?
Fang Jian immediately said, "Master Erlang has invited me so kindly, how could I refuse? My six fellow Taoists, let's head to Guanjiangkou."
The six Meishan brothers all bowed to Fang Jian and said, "Master Hongqing, please come in."
Afterwards, Fang Jian instigated the Third Prince to follow the six brothers from Meishan, turn through the South Heaven Gate, go straight down to the Southern Continent, and head towards Shu County of the Tang Dynasty.
Five hours later, when it was getting dark in the mortal world, Fang Jian finally arrived at the Guanjiangkou Taoist Temple.
As soon as Fang Jian got off his horse, he saw a dark creature rushing towards him and suddenly jumped into Fang Jian's arms.
Fang Jian hurriedly hugged him, then looked down and saw that it was Cen Biqing's unfilial disciple Heidan.
Heidan has now reached the Yangshen realm, but he has not yet transformed and still maintains the appearance of a little black dog.
"Master Uncle!" Heidan called out while lying in Fang Jian's arms, then stuck out his tongue and licked Fang Jian's face affectionately.
"..." Fang Jian felt the wetness on his face, held Heidan in the air with both hands and said, "You are a male dog, don't lick people all the time."
Heidan said: "I miss my uncle so much, I'll just lick him..."
"That's its temper now." A clear voice sounded from behind. Fang Jian looked up and saw a tall, majestic, handsome and elegant white-haired spaniel walking out of the hall. It was Xiaotian Dog.
Fang Jian put the black egg down, then bowed to Roaring Sky Dog and said, "Fellow Daoist."
Roaring Sky Dog squatted down on the spot, staring at Fang Jian, then lowered his proud head slightly and said, "Hello, Master Hongqing."
After saying this, Xiaotian Dog said to Fang Jian, "Master Hongqing, the master and his men have been waiting for you on Yuhua Terrace for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Fang Jian couldn't help but ask curiously, "I wonder who True Lord Erlang invited?"
Roaring Sky Dog said, "There are only three people: Fighting Buddha, Nezha the Third Prince, and you, Master Hongqing."
When Fang Jian heard this, a different feeling suddenly surged in his heart. This feeling was very wonderful, with a sense of pride, honor and even excitement in it.
Erlang Shen only invited Sun Wukong, Nezha, and Fang Jian to his feast. What did this mean? It meant that his strength had been fully recognized by these three people. In Earth's terms, he had entered their circle, although Fang Jian hated the word "circle".
"Master Hongqing, please come in." At this time, General Kang waved his hand towards Fang Jian and said.
Fang Jian nodded, and then followed the six Meishan brothers into the Guanjiangkou Taoist temple. They walked through the corridors of the temple and came to the Yuhua Terrace, which was surrounded by mountains and water, with beautiful flowers and grass, and bright stars and fairies.
As soon as he stepped onto the Yuhua Terrace, Fang Jian saw the shining star lights and winding jade water all around. In the center of the Yuhua Terrace stood twelve jade tables, which were filled with all kinds of fairy delicacies, spiritual fruits and fairy wines.
Fang Jian looked up and saw Erlang Zhenjun sitting at the top, dressed in a dark black Taoist robe. He had his hair tied up and wore a crown, sitting upright with a tall and majestic figure.
Sitting next to Erlang Shen at the top was Sun Wukong, dressed in a purple and gold cassock, and his gaze fell directly on Fang Jian without any concealment.
After looking at Fang Jian for a long while, Sun Wukong slowly said, "So this is what the man who killed my five sworn brothers looks like. Hmm, he's quite heroic."
Fang Jian paused for a moment after hearing this, then bowed to Sun Wukong and said, "Master Buddha, you are joking."
When Sun Wukong heard the words "Foye" from Fang Jian's mouth, his expression changed immediately. He pointed at Fang Jian and said to Nezha, "You're right. This guy is really unpleasant."
Fang Jian: “…”
Nezha turned around and lectured Fang Jian, "Fang Jian, you are so ignorant. He hates being called Buddha the most."
After saying that, Nezha changed the subject and said, "So you can just call him Monkey."
Fang Jian wanted to laugh, but he didn't dare to. If he really laughed, it would be too much.
Fortunately, at this moment, Erlang Shen pointed to the seat opposite Nezha and said, "Fang Jian, take a seat."
Fang Jian immediately bowed and said, "Yes."
Then Fang Jian came to the jade table opposite Nezha and sat down cross-legged. At this time, Erlang Shen said to Xiaotian Dog, the Six Brothers of Meishan, and Heidan, "You can sit down too."
"Yes." The six people and two dogs responded respectfully, and then sat down in their respective seats.
After everyone was seated, Erlang Shen said to Fang Jian, "Fang Jian, this is my private Dharma banquet. Don't be too rigid about your official duties here. Be informal. Most importantly, don't be shy!"
When Fang Jian heard this, his expression immediately became serious. He then bowed to Erlang Shen and said, "Fang Jian understands."
