The imperial palace on earth was extremely prosperous, but it was a little chaotic at the moment. Yesterday's events had begun to spread in a small circle. Overall, the palace was still, barely, stable and peaceful, yet there was a sense of a vortex hidden deep within the heavy situation.

Suddenly, a scream was heard from somewhere, and then a minister in gorgeous clothes stumbled out. The scream was filled with panic and boundless fear: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty... Ugh..." But after just a few shouts, it turned into the sound of vomiting.

The high-ranking minister lay down beside the tree and vomited.

Soon, the whole palace began to riot. People ran around with panicked looks on their faces, exclaiming, shouting, and wailing. The little Taoist boy was bewildered. He and the young man in green squatted on the high wall, watching the changes in the palace, and said, "This, this... Uncle Qi Ling, what happened?"

"what happens?"

"I don't know."

The young man in blue shirt answered with a smile.

The Human Emperor was just thrown into the wooden barrel filled with the corpse-dissolving divine water. The things inside, even if an immortal put them in, would lose their essence, energy and spirit in a short while and turn into a pool of pus. Xuandu once had a purple gold gourd magic weapon, which contained this, but, with just this, it would definitely not cause such a commotion.

He turned the emperor into thick water, letting him feel the pain of his body and flesh melting bit by bit.

But I kept his brain.

So that people in the palace can recognize that this is the Human Emperor.

"Ahem, after all, with the title of destroying Buddha and beheading the emperor, we have to do something."

"After all, there are only wrong names, not wrong nicknames."

Leave his life?

Humph, these little guys are too naive.

The Supreme's teachings still allow you to follow order.

Unlike my Lord, there are no taboos.

Killing him first and letting him know that he is in disgrace are not contradictory.

The young man in green stroked his chin, recalling the screams of the Human Emperor and sighing with emotion.

While the little Taoist boy was still in a daze, the young man in green patted his little head and said, "Let's go!"

"Ah? This, but..."

"It's nothing to be ashamed of, and there's nothing to see. Let's go, I'll take you to buy some snacks. It's been a month since winter began, and the New Year's Day is very close. The world is very prosperous and interesting. Come with me and buy some delicious food to deal with that great master Xuandu."

There was chaos inside the palace, but outside it was just as he said, still prosperous and beautiful, like the mortal world.

The little Taoist boy didn't expect that the green-shirted spirit bought a lot of things here, including toys and candies from the human world, and gave him a portion. So he was quickly bribed. The green-shirted spirit held many things in its arms, with a snack in its mouth, and walked slowly in this human world.

We also went to the largest temple, which was filled with incense and was amazing.

The little Taoist boy saw the green-shirted spirit asking the big monk over there if this place was very effective.

The monk put his hands together and replied:

"My Buddha has boundless magical powers. All believers who worship the Buddha sincerely will have their wishes fulfilled."

The young man in green shirt bit into a snack and asked, "Do I have to buy incense here?"

The monk replied: "Pray to the Buddha is a compassionate act. It is not like buying incense; it is like asking for incense."

The young man in green asked, "Can Buddha sense it?"

The monk replied: "My Buddhist power is boundless and vast. I can know all the affairs of the people. Naturally, I can sense it."

The young man in green nodded, thought about it, and did not worship Buddha.

He just ran to the petitioning place over there, looked at the incense pool, rummaged in his arms, took out the Buddha's relic, rubbed it on his body, and threw it in with a flick of his wrist.

He clasped his hands together and said with a gentle expression, "May the Buddha have mercy on us and bless us all."

Everyone admired his wish.

Only the little Taoist boy at the back was dazed, with snack crumbs falling from the corners of his mouth.

This guy...

Is it some weird evil demon?

Take the Buddha's bone relics and throw them in front of the Buddha to pray for a wish?

What kind of evil taste is this?

The young man in green shirt enjoyed himself so much that he visited all the Buddhist temples around and threw away more than 20 relics.

Little Taoist boy: “…”

What kind of weird interest is this?

Seeing that the young man in green was going somewhere, the little Taoist boy could not accompany him any more. After wandering around the streets of the mortal world for such a long time and being bribed by all kinds of snacks, he realized belatedly that he remembered the Great Master Xuandu and his friends who were still in the Ninth Heaven. He was worried that the Great Master would be angry if he had been away for so long, so he decided to leave.

The young man in green did not stop him. He just waved his hand with a smile. The Taoist boy returned to heaven with an arm full of snacks and toys. Before he could show off his experience today to his friends, the great wizard grabbed his collar and lifted him up. He was so scared that his body froze immediately, like a kitten that was suddenly picked up.

"Where have you been?!"

"That guy didn't do anything to you, did he?!"

"come over!"

The great wizard asked three questions in a row, then carried the Taoist boy, who was as furry as a kitten, back into the house. After a round of spell examination, he finally relaxed a little, and the little Taoist boy breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, fortunately, the great wizard usually has a bad temper, but I didn’t expect that he cares about us so much!

The great wizard is so nice!

The little Taoist boy couldn't help but reveal a bright and friendly smile on his face.

Then, his scalp suddenly went numb. The great wizard grabbed the boy's forehead with his palm and lifted him up. The boy was lying on the ground, and the great wizard's face, which was emitting a dark aura, was reflected in his eyes. He saw the great wizard's mouth slightly raised, with a twisted smile, and a face full of 'murder', slowly approaching: "It's okay, it's okay."

"But how did I teach you in the past?"

"Don't leave Xuandu Temple unless necessary, right?"

"What else?"

"No, don't believe in the Emperor Tianhuang and Emperor Fuxi..."

"Oh, you still call him by his name?"

The little Taoist boy's body was stiff.

The elders’ caring session is over.

Now it is the education stage of the elders, a complete childhood.

After cleaning up, Master Xuandu asked, "What did he do with you?"

The little Taoist boy, with two big bags of tears in his eyes, said: "He, he, he said..."

"What did he say?!"

"He said a Buddha died."

"!!!"

…

The capital of the human world—the Temple of Queen Wa.

As the origin of the human race, the Wahuang Temple had already stood in the center of the Nine Provinces more than 8,000 years ago, when Xuanzhen founded the country. In the early days, the Human Emperor, who was always frugal, used many materials from all over the Nine Provinces to build this Wahuang Temple. Because it was even more magnificent than the imperial palace, it was even called the Wahuang Palace.

The statue was made by collecting soil from Kyushu and water from Zuhe River. It was sculpted by the female master of painting at that time.

Elegant and gorgeous, unparalleled throughout the ages.

However, no matter how magnificent the past was, no matter how great the legend was, it will gradually fade away with the passage of time. In this era, the Wahuang Temple is already quite deserted. Even in winter when the New Year is approaching, not many people come. When the young man in blue came, there were only a few old people still sweeping the huge Wahuang Palace.

The ground is covered with fallen ginkgo leaves, the sky is high and the clouds are far away, the incense is not very strong, but I am happy with the quietness.

The elders seemed surprised that there were young people coming to the Wa Palace. After being surprised, they happily invited him in and brewed a pot of tea for him. They smiled and said, "I didn't expect that at this time, there would be young people like you coming to pay respect to the Wa Palace. I'm sorry that you are not prepared."

"After all, there are still several months until Her Majesty's birthday."

Queen Wa is a legend among legends.

In that era, the Heavenly Stems and Earthly Branches had not yet appeared, and naturally there was no concept of months.

The world now only knows the origin of the legend of repairing the sky when Queen Nuwa appeared, and it is set to the birthday of Queen Nuwa.

The young man in green shirt smiled gently: "I just came to see Queen Wa."

“Is there any fragrance?”

"Haha, of course there is."

"Please wait a moment, sir."

The old temple keeper took great pains to find the incense and handed it to the young man. The latter took out the silver, but the old man waved his hand and laughed:

"Silver? I don't need that. I don't need that."

"Empress Wa is the mother of our human race. Your coming here is like a child visiting his mother."

"I can't even say welcome, how can I accept your money? Come, come, the Nuwa Palace is here, I'll take you there..."

"This was sculpted by a great master himself, and it has all the charm."

He led the young man in green into the hall. The hall was solemn and one could still see how popular it was when it was first built. The statue of Queen Wa was beautiful and dignified, with a waiter on each side. The young man in green looked at her for a long time, then suddenly smiled and whispered to himself:

"Really? Not at all."

"Not even close."

He placed all the things in his arms on the table in front of the statue of Queen Wa. There were toys, exquisite snacks, and small bags of food. He said softly, "These are what I saw when I walked around in this city. It's incredible to say that these children had to be naked and skinned to cover their bodies, but now they have clothes made of such fine materials."

"The food has become much more refined, and food production is more than enough to feed them."

"It's just that there are more termites. After all, it's different from the simple customs of the past. But it's normal... This is a toy for children to play with. Ha, it's full of fantastic ideas..." He introduced each item in a calm tone, and finally raised the incense. His eyes were calm, and the smile before turned into a cold and distant feeling, as if he had become a different person.

Through the lingering fragrance of incense, he looked at the statue of Queen Nuwa and talked to himself.

Now that the Human Emperor is completely dead, the conflicts in the human world that were originally relatively calm will immediately become intense; when the Buddhas return, they will probably immediately contact the South Pole and the North Pole, and even report to the Three Pure Ones, saying that "Emperor Fuxi" has appeared. According to the agreement of the Second Tribulation Period, once Emperor Fuxi, who once created countless disasters, appears, the Three Pure Ones and the Four Imperial Gods will take action to suppress him.

After all, this is a recognized threat.

And, mobilize the rhythm of Tao and kill it with Tao.

The sixteen Buddha lands were transformed into fifteen this time.

Previously, they had been divided into eight branches each, and were fighting endlessly.

Now, one has eight meridians and the other has seven meridians. In addition, Vairocana Buddha left early, and there is a suspicion that he abandoned his fellow practitioners when he saw danger. Now the contradictions between Buddhism, the human world, and the increasingly fierce contradictions between Buddhism and Taoism brought about by Xuandu’s action should explode soon...

Vairocana is such an honest child.

He retreated when I told him to.

Same as before.

The dispute between Buddhism and Taoism will eventually become more and more intense. I wonder if the Three Pure Ones, who are indifferent to worldly affairs, can be forced to join the game.

If that's the case, that should be enough.

Whether it was killing the emperor in public, or forcing the Buddhists to kill a Buddha in the most violent way, it was not without purpose.

The young man in green lit incense, raised his hand, took out a box, rubbed it for a long time, with a complicated expression, sighed, and suddenly a stream of light appeared and flew into the statue. The statue, which was originally made of clay, seemed to have undergone some kind of change, and was vaguely connected with the luck of the entire city.

The young man in green stood quietly in the temple.

I wonder what the fate of humanity, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, and the longevity Buddha will be like.

The words of the Buddhas and the founders of the Tao should be sufficient.

Only the extremely exciting impact of luck can push luck to the limit at the moment of conflict, and even push it to a peak that cannot be reached even if accumulated under normal circumstances. We must seize the opportunity at that moment...

He smiled and nodded, then turned and left.

The old temple keeper came with a plate of sugar-filled buns, and saw the elegant young man with the zither on his back stepping out. He hurriedly said, "Sir, sir, it's already this late. If you haven't had a meal, why don't you have some snacks together?"

"No need. I have a naughty boy at home who is very smart. If I don't go back, I'm afraid it will be dangerous."

The young man said goodbye politely. Although the old temple keeper felt sorry, he did not force him. He sent the young man in green away and then returned to the main hall of the Empress Wa Palace. He was suddenly surprised to see a table full of things, including a piece of silver, which was enough to support the temple keepers of the Empress Wa Palace for a long time. The fragrance filled the air, and the temple keepers who were still managing the Empress Wa Palace suddenly felt lighter.

All the hidden injuries were healed, the body was conditioned to the limit, and he had a lifespan comparable to the three talents of Taoism.

The old temple keeper was puzzled, but suddenly he found that the statue of Queen Wa seemed different from before. He couldn't tell what was different. He just felt that compared with before, there seemed to be an inexplicable vitality and charm, and the attendants on both sides had also changed.

The one on the left turned into a young man with raised brows and a fierce look.

On the right is a gentle young man who fights with one hand.

They were all dressed like the Taoist priest. In just a moment, the old temple keeper felt that this was how the waiters should be.

Before Queen Wa, there was a handful of light blue flowers that had not yet bloomed.

It is so elegant and beautiful that it makes people lose themselves in thought when they see it.

"This is……"

Crowds of people come and go, and the world is like a weave. Compared to the past, it is familiar yet unfamiliar. A young man in a green shirt, carrying an ancient zither on his back, walks in the crowd with a gentle and calm expression, walking away step by step.

"Wa..."

"Happy birthday."
