Su Lianyi pointed at herself and began to ask about her own affairs, "Why did I end up in this body after failing the thunder tribulation? And does Xuanmen exist in this world?"
It would be fine if her Taoism and merits returned to the time before liberation, but the fact that she was the 316th generation successor of Xuanmen was something from her previous life!
Taishang Laojun nodded slightly: "I have done some research."
Ever since he last saw the current situation of his junior sister, he began to investigate the situation.
"I asked the people in the underworld, and they were also surprised at first. After careful investigation, they found that you skipped the reincarnation cycle and were reborn directly."
"As for why you skipped reincarnation, even they don't know. We need to continue investigating."
Su Lianyi frowned. "Even the people in the underworld were kept in the dark. It seems there's something fishy about this matter."
Immediately, she looked up at the serious Taishang Laojun again, "Such a big thing happened in the underworld, and you were caught. Did they give you any bribe to keep quiet?"
Taishang Laojun glared at him: "You doubt me?! I am the kind of person who will easily accept bribes!"
"Yes, you are." Su Lianyi admitted without hesitation.
"Junior sister, you——"
Taishang Laojun took a deep breath and immediately gave a thumbs up: "You are really good at judging people!"
He actually accepted the bribe from the underworld!
It’s a waste if you don’t want it!
Su Lianyi tutted and glanced at him sideways. "As the saying goes, what a person lacks, they will make up for in their name. As one of the Three Pure Ones in Taoism, the Great Pure One, you truly have a reputation for being the Heavenly Lord of Dao and Virtue."
"Junior sister, you understand me the best!"
Taishang Laojun looked at Su Lianyi with kindness and satisfaction.
Of course, Su Lianyi was no less experienced than her fellow disciples of many years. She extended her hand and said,
"Give me some."
As a tragic party involved, she also wants hush money!
Taishang Laojun raised his eyebrows and pretended to be dumbfounded, "What are you dividing?"
"Give me some of the bribe." Su Lianyi said bluntly.
"What bribe?"
"Give me some of the bribe!"
"What's the difference?"
"Give me some of the bribe!"
Taishang Laojun covered his small treasury and said with a smile: "Oh, I'm old and hard of hearing!"
Su Lianyi: “…Pooh!”
Just as the two brothers and sisters were pulling each other, a voice that was so familiar to Su Lianyi that she missed it came from Tianmen again: "What are you doing?"
Su Lianyi and Taishang Laojun turned around at the same time, bowed respectfully and said, "Greetings, Master!"
Not long after, an equally handsome man came over.
It was their master, Patriarch Hongjun.
They can joke with each other among their peers, but they still respect their elders and masters.
There was no need for Su Lianyi to explain, as Patriarch Hongjun had already known about her affairs.
Seeing Su Lianyi still alive and kicking, he nodded with relief and said, "I had already predicted that you would face this calamity, but fortune and misfortune go hand in hand. Perhaps this is also an opportunity for you, or for our entire Heavenly Court."
Su Lianyi frowned, "My disciple is dull, please explain in detail, Master."
Patriarch Hongjun also knew that the burden of the Heavenly Court was indeed too heavy for his little disciple to bear.
He explained in a gentle voice, "You also know that this is the Dharma Ending Age. Both spiritual energy and faith are far inferior to what they were before."
"Therefore, the gods and Buddhas from our heaven and hell realms cannot easily reach the human world, let alone continue to spread and strengthen our faith and incense."
Taishang Laojun also sighed and nodded in agreement.
That's true.
Even though he is one of the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, his faith and worship are not as strong as before and can only be maintained with difficulty.
Not to mention the various minor gods under the Heavenly Palace.
"But you're different."
Patriarch Hongjun waved the whisk in his hand and continued, "You are now in the human world, and in the entertainment industry, where it is easiest to gain faith and merit. We have unanimously decided to let you serve as the representative of the Heavenly Court to help the Heavenly Court gather faith and restore its former glory!"
"hiss!"
Su Lianyi took a breath of cold air.
What was in front of her was not her respectable and lovely master, but a huge piece of cake!
Just when Su Lianyi was about to refuse, Patriarch Hongjun said, "This will also be of great benefit to you. The golden light of merit from rebuilding the Heavenly Palace is enough for you to ascend to heaven immediately and return to the heavens."
"With the thin spiritual energy in this world today, if you really had to cultivate hard on your own, do you think you would be able to ascend back in your lifetime?"
Su Lianyi: "..."
Master is worthy of being Master, he immediately grasped her pain point.
Seeing her drooping head, Patriarch Hongjun couldn't help but reach out and touch her: "Master knows that this matter is a bit difficult for you, but when has Master ever fooled you?"
As he spoke, Patriarch Hongjun displayed the golden light of merit on his body.
With a filter of ten layers of thick light on her Master, Su Lianyi was somewhat dazed by the light: "No, there shouldn't be any, right?"
Taishang Laojun: Phew.
Stay calm!
When the master is fooling the junior sister, he must not reveal the truth.
"Okay, I promise."
Since the master was so sincere, Su Lianyi could only agree reluctantly.
"Good disciple!"
Patriarch Hongjun immediately smiled.
"Good Junior Sister!"
Taishang Laojun also gave a thumbs up.
Su Lianyi: "..."
Damn, she was fooled, right?
Before his young disciple could lose his temper, Patriarch Hongjun explained, "Actually, the most crucial issue is that there is no shortage of faith in the mortal world, but it is difficult for us to absorb the power of faith."
“That’s right!”
When this incident was brought up, Taishang Laojun was immediately filled with righteous indignation and said, "Nowadays, people have started using electronic incense and wooden fish. It's completely unauthentic!"
Not only can you not receive the pure power of faith, but you still want them to do things for free. That's too much!
Su Lianyi also nodded.
Whether burning incense or beating a wooden fish, these things should be done to improve one's studies, but using electronic products to cheat is in itself a kind of dishonesty.
“But I don’t really blame them.”
Taishang Laojun sighed, "After all, after so many years, most of our mortal temples have been abandoned and damaged. Even if they want to burn incense and worship Buddha, they can't find a place."
"So, Junior Sister," he sincerely grabbed Su Lianyi's hands and said earnestly, "please help us build more temples!"
What?
Su Lianyi was stunned for a moment, then turned her brows and sneered, shaking off her senior brother's hand: "What the hell do you want!"
"I'm still deeply in debt, where will I get the money to build your temple?!"
I've been giving so many reasons just now, it turns out I'm waiting for her here!
Su Lianyi was so angry that she cursed.
"The gates of heaven are about to close, and it's time for us to leave."
Patriarch Hongjun seized the opportunity, waved his whisk, and said goodbye to Su Lianyi temporarily.
