Chapter 26 Stay in an Inn

Long Pinxuan stepped on auspicious clouds and landed on the street. He looked at the mansion that had been renovated, with a gleam in his eyes.

White House

It’s Bai Suzhen indeed!

As a native of the New World, although Long Pinxuan is relatively young, it is impossible for him not to have watched the classic TV series The Legend of the White Snake, especially the extraordinary love between Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian. The love, hatred and vengeance in the drama have been adapted into many versions.

Bai Suzhen was able to touch the threshold of ascension after a thousand years of cultivation, which showed that she had extraordinary potential. Later, after being enlightened by the Bodhisattva Guanyin, she knew that she needed to complete some of the bad karma in the mortal world before she could ascend to the fairyland.

But from Long Pin Xuan’s perspective, this is nonsense!

Even the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures in Journey to the West was done by Buddha, with all the hardships and such, and how immortals and demons couldn't be together.

Long Pinxuan sneered, saying that both humans and monsters could ascend to become immortals, it was just that their strength became stronger. He didn't know where this rule came from, it made a mess of things and allowed some people to profit from it.

People in the immortal and Buddhist worlds all follow this pattern.

You said you were going to overcome a calamity, but it turned out that the calamity was arranged by them. However, because you really encountered the calamity and sought help, you were filled with gratitude to them.

Journey to the West uses this tactic very well. Isn't the White Snake just a sacrifice of their tactic?

Long Pinxuan touched his chin and thought, if Bai Suzhen was admitted into the academy, then Xu Xian would be admitted into the academy as well.

By the way, wasn't Xu Xian taken to study Buddhism by Fahai before? I wonder what his qualifications are like, but they shouldn't be bad, right? Otherwise, Fahai wouldn't have chosen him.

In this case, hehe, those human-demon love stories are all cultivators, so what's wrong with them falling in love!

Cough cough, overthinking!

He did this because these two were extremely intelligent people.

As the male and female protagonists of an enduring legend, their qualifications must be good!

When Long Pinxuan thought of this, he wanted to go forward and knock on the door, but then he stopped.

If he went to knock on the door now, what would be his excuse? Would Bai Suzhen agree to join the academy?

An excuse to find Xiaoqing and go back?

No, how could he, a dean, do the work of a servant? That's ridiculous!

Let’s wait and see!

I don’t know whether Bai Suzhen was enlightened by Bodhisattva Guanyin.

In many different legends, Bai Suzhen was accepted as a disciple by the Mother of Mount Li, so she went to pay homage to the Bodhisattva Guanyin in Qingcheng Mountain, but no one knows why. Then she turned to Buddhism, and no one knows which temple it was. Later, she came to West Lake in Hangzhou to look for her benefactor.

So in the current plot, Bai Suzhen has been enlightened?

Turn to Buddhism?

Long Pinxuan has not used the guidance technique on Bai Suzhen yet, so he doesn't know which technique is truly suitable for her, but he always feels that there is some key.

Unfortunately, legends from previous lives are just legends, and myths are just myths. In previous lives, they were just things to be read for entertainment. Who would have thought that they would come true in this world?

Not to mention that Long Pinxuan can't remember it now, even if he had searched for this information specifically in his previous life, he probably wouldn't have been able to find the real situation. After all, these are stories passed down by word of mouth, and the various complicated situations involved can only be guessed.

Long Pinxuan thought about this for a while, then stayed in an inn not far from the Bai Mansion. He could observe Bai Suzhen's movements at any time and find an opportunity to get her to join West Lake College.

Xiaoqing became Bai Suzhen's sister. The two exchanged names and then called each other sisters.

Xiaoqing naturally asked about the origin of Bai Suzhen, "Sister, where did you practice before?"

"Bai Suzhen, who lives at the foot of Mount Qingcheng, has been cultivating this body in a cave for a thousand years!"

"Practice diligently to gain enlightenment, and be reborn into a human being!"

"Devote yourself to the Way with all your heart and let go of distracting thoughts. Refuge in the Three Treasures and abandon the mundane world!"

"The Bodhisattva appeared to enlighten me. I want to go to the high places of West Lake to find him!"

Bai Suzhen's introduction made Xiaoqing thoughtful. She frowned slightly, "Sister, I can understand that you are devoted to the Tao, but devoting yourself to the Tao and taking refuge in the Three Treasures are two different systems. Isn't this contradictory?"

Bai Suzhen was stunned. What?

Xiaoqing began to explain the situation to Bai Suzhen seriously. She found that this sister seemed quite naive. Could it be that she was fooled?

Xiaoqing is no longer the same as before. She has been practicing with various powerful monsters and cultivators. She has learned a lot these days, especially the sect systems of the cultivators.

"We have more than just monsters in West Lake Academy. We also have cultivators. I heard all this from the cultivators."

"We had some deviations from the path of cultivation in the past!"

"There are several systems of cultivation. One is Taoism, which is the system that we monsters and most practitioners usually practice. One is Buddhism, which is what we usually call taking refuge in the Three Treasures and taking refuge in Buddhism. The other is ghost cultivation, which is basically the system that ghosts and monsters use to cultivate immortals. After they succeed in cultivation, they will enter the underworld to serve."

Bai Suzhen was very smart, and Xiaoqing's explanation was very detailed, so he quickly understood it. Puzzlement flashed in his eyes, "So, I was practicing Taoism before, and now after being enlightened, I am practicing Buddhism?"

Xiaoqing nodded, "What's so good about practicing Buddhism? You can't do this or that, and you have to be a vegetarian. How can it be as free and easy as practicing Taoism? I am definitely suitable for practicing Taoism!"

Bai Suzhen frowned, "Does everyone have a system that suits them?"

"Of course! I didn't know any skills before, and I didn't know how to practice. It was the dean who taught me!" Xiaoqing said naturally.

"Dean..."

Bai Suzhen became even more curious about the dean. "Xiaoqing, can you recommend a dean to me? I also want to know what kind of training is suitable for me."

Xiaoqing smiled and nodded, "Of course, sister has cultivated to such a level in a thousand years, she must be very talented. Our West Lake Academy accepts students with high talents!"

Bai Suzhen felt relieved, but suddenly asked with some concern, "So practicing Taoism is the same as practicing Buddhism, can one become an immortal?"

Xiao Qing was slightly stunned, and touched her head awkwardly, "Ah, after practicing, I can ascend to what kind of immortal, I don't know, why not ask the dean? He must know!"

The two chatted for a while and agreed to visit the dean tomorrow with Xiaoqing's introduction.

Long Pinxuan was lying on the bed in the guest inn, feeling the hardness of the wooden bed. He turned over uncomfortably. Was he being shameless? He didn't want to sleep on a big bed but on this crappy wooden bed.

He looked out the window at the lights on in the Bai Mansion and sighed. Who made him fall in love with Bai Suzhen and want her to be a student in his academy?

Bai Suzhen is a fierce general. He has been practicing for thousands of years and is about to ascend to heaven. He must be at least a demon lord or even a demon spirit level monster, right?

Coupled with the guidance of his guidance technique, wow, the future is limitless!
