Chapter 414: The Great Sage of Settlement Returns to the
Arena Zhunti is in great pain.
In order to fish, his reincarnated body has not started practicing until now.
I only learned Buddhism.
At a young age, he was already the most famous monk in the Tang Dynasty. Compared with the real attainments of Buddhism, he was confident that he could beat Tathagata.
But in terms of cultivation, he was sure that Li Changxi could beat him.
Even if it were someone else, Zhunti would not be afraid.
The problem is that Li Changxi is a mental patient.
This guy can't think logically.
The saint has to bow his head under the eaves.
At this moment, Zhunti was very envious of Haotian.
That guy's ninja way is quite useful at times.
Li Changxi also thought of Haotian at this time.
She suggested sincerely: "Zhunti, why don't you switch to the way of ninjutsu? If you can endure all the way to the Western Paradise, all kinds of demons, ghosts, holy gods and Buddhas are materials for your cultivation."
From this perspective, Haotian's path is extremely inclusive and has a bright future.
Zhunti glared at Li Changxi.
"Haotian doesn't even want his dignity anymore, but I still want my dignity."
Although among the Six Saints, Zhunti is generally recognized as the most shameless one.
But compared to a top-notch pervert like Haotian, Zhunti is still far behind.
Zhunti is the one who can put even a minor character like Mrs. White Bone on his blacklist.
For Haotian, this is not a big deal at all.
Zhunti and Haotian can't pee in the same pot.
Even if he practices ninjutsu, he will definitely be beaten by Haotian.
"What a pity." Li Changxi continued to sincerely offer her own advice: "Why bother with face? Just ask for money."
Zhunti didn't want to pay any attention to Li Changxi.
I don’t want to talk to Li Changxi either.
So he ordered them to leave: "It is my senior brother who has a karmic relationship with Taiyin Xingjun. If you really want revenge, go to Lingshan to find my senior brother."
Li Changxi said honestly: "I can't beat Jie Yin yet, but I have no problem beating you."
Zhunti’s fist instantly hardened.
Do you have any shame?
Can it get better?
Fortunately, at this time, the Emperor of Tang arrived and broke the situation where Zhunti was unilaterally bullied.
However, the first sentence of the Tang Emperor still made Zhunti feel a little numb.
"Meet my aunt."
Zhunti: "...You are the Emperor of Tang, the Son of Heaven on Earth, what do you call her?"
Comrade Tang Emperor Li Erfeng explained as a matter of course: "I am a descendant of Laojun, Laojun is the ancestor of Xingjun, Xingjun is naturally my great aunt."
Isn't it shameful for a young man like him to worship the Moon God as his aunt?
The Tang Emperor felt that he had made a great profit.
The Human Emperor Kingdom in the Great Desolate Immortal Realm is different from the ordinary emperors in the human world. Emperor Tang has already ruled countless worlds at a young age. Because of this, he knows the importance of things.
He knew exactly what position Taiyin Star Lord held in the Heavenly Palace and what his relationship with the Changsheng Emperor was.
Now Taiyin Star Lord is willing to be Li Tang's backer.
He also specifically named him as his backer.
Only a fool would not accept this olive branch.
What's the big deal about recognizing an aunt? The aunt even said she would help him recognize a saint as his brother.
The Tang Emperor was in charge of the military at the age of 18 and was considered the best general of the time. He had witnessed countless big scenes.
But becoming sworn brothers with a saint and becoming his brother is something that I cannot even imagine.
It's all the good fortune given to him by my aunt.
From now on, the ultimate ancestor of the Li family is Taishang Laojun.
My aunt is the Moon Goddess.
The sworn brother of the Tang Emperor was the reincarnation of the Western Saint Cundi.
Emperor Tang felt numb with his victory.
So he held Zhunti's right hand tightly.
"Master Xuanzang, from now on, you are my sworn brother, my holy monk."
Zhunti is hard to comment: "The Emperor of Tang is really not afraid of shortening his life."
Not everyone has the blessing to become sworn brothers with a saint.
The Tang Emperor waved his hand, showing the spirit of a great emperor: "I believe that the destiny of the Tang Dynasty and the human race can suppress it. Master, you should also remember that you are only Master Xuanzang in the Tang Dynasty, not the Saint Zhunti."
Zhunti… crossed it out. Master Xuanzang took a deep breath and said, “I understand what your majesty means. The Tang Dynasty welcomes Master Xuanzang, but not the Western Zhunti Saint.”
The Emperor of Tang nodded calmly: "Master, you are mellow and transparent, that is what I mean. If Master Xuanzang seeks the true scriptures for the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty will naturally give Master Xuanzang the treatment of a national teacher. Moreover, the Tang Dynasty only recognizes the Buddhist scriptures translated by Master Xuanzang."
He doesn't know what Cundi and Tathagata are.
The Tang Dynasty will be friendly with anyone who comes to pay a visit.
The Tang Emperor’s meaning was very simple: if Buddhism wanted to enter the Tang Dynasty to preach, it could do so.
The leader of the mission must be Master Xuanzang.
This is the promise to Zhunti.
It is also the sincerity that the Tang Dynasty gives to Zhunti.
Zhunti’s heart is determined.
Changsheng had indeed arranged everything.
As long as he successfully completes this plan and Buddhism flourishes, he will still be the hero and it has nothing to do with Tathagata.
Although there was this little episode with Li Changxi, we can't be crazy and care about it.
"What does Your Majesty want?" asked Master Xuanzang.
He has completely entered the state.
Although Ji Changsheng had arranged everything for him, Zhunti knew that any deal with the current emperor of the Tang Dynasty must be mutually beneficial.
In terms of status, Li Tang is already the human kingdom with the largest territory in the prehistoric fairyland. In theory, Emperor Tang's status can be compared with the Four Imperial Gods.
Ji Changsheng couldn't just give orders blindly, there had to be an exchange of resources.
Zhunti knows clearly what he can get.
He needs to know what Emperor Tang can get, as this is related to whether the foundation of their cooperation is solid.
The Tang Emperor’s answer made Zhunti more aware of the strength of the rear wave.
"The Tathagata wants to extend Buddhism into the territory of the Tang Dynasty. I also want to spread the military power of the Tang Dynasty to Xiniu Hezhou, where Buddhism is based. I heard that the human race in Xiniu Hezhou is in a difficult situation. As a human race, the Tang Dynasty has an obligation to save our compatriots who are still suffering."
"The Emperor of Tang is very courageous, but I have other purposes for this trip. I will not be the pioneer in the war of the Tang Dynasty." Master Xuanzang emphasized.
The Tang Emperor laughed loudly: "I don't need a mage to be the vanguard of the war. I just need a mage to serve as a guide and collect information about the local customs and routes along the way. It would be best if he could also test the strength of the demon tribe in Xiniu Hezhou. The Tang Dynasty has its own iron army to expand the territory of the Tang Dynasty and show its power in foreign lands."
The aura of war and swordsmanship that came from the contemporary emperor and military god made Master Xuanzang, who had not yet practiced, breathe faster.
He realized that the human race had produced another outstanding emperor.
The future of the demon race is becoming increasingly bleak.
But this was no longer his concern at this time.
For Zhunti today, apart from repaying the loan, nothing else matters.
"If that's all, I have no problem with that."
"Okay, my brother is happy."
The Emperor of Tang also felt very happy.
Calling the Saint "Your Majesty's Brother" is a treatment that even the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors did not receive.
You can keep bragging about this for the rest of your life.
"Your Majesty, Guanyin Bodhisattva has arrived."
At this time, a guard came outside to report.
Emperor Tang, Zhunti and Li Changxi did not react immediately.
"Avalokitesvara? Where did this Avalokitesvara come from?"
The guard continued to report: "It should be Guanyin Bodhisattva, but the Bodhisattva said that in order to avoid your majesty's name, so only Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Emperor Tang was instantly agitated: "The Bodhisattva is so polite."
"Erfeng" is just his nickname. The reason comes from the fact that when Emperor Tang Huang was a middle-aged man, he wrote an article "Fu of the Mighty Phoenix", comparing himself to a mighty phoenix. He was the second oldest among his brothers, so the nickname is Erfeng.
His real name was taken from the phrase "helping the world and bringing peace to the people", which just happened to have the word "shi" in it.
If Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva is called Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva from now on because of him, his fame will spread throughout the world in the shortest time.
Although Emperor Tang is already very famous nowadays, he has only been rising for a short time. Compared with Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, he is still a newcomer.
There is no faster way to become famous than stepping on the powerful ones.
Therefore, the Tang Emperor gave Guanyin Bodhisattva enough respect.
Of course, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave Master Xuanzang more respect.
"Greetings to Saint Zhunti."
Zhunti found some comfort from Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Then he watched helplessly as Guanyin Bodhisattva was pulled up by Li Changxi.
"Bodhisattva, you don't have to be so polite. You are a member of the Human Union, one generation younger than me. Zhunti is my descendant's sworn brother, several generations younger than me. You are his elder now."
After Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was promoted to Daluo, the Human Union also extended an invitation to her.
As a pure-blooded human, Guanyin Bodhisattva had no reason to reject the Human Alliance.
If it weren't for her joining the Human Union, Nuwa probably wouldn't bother to help her check her body. Although it was just a piece of cake for Nuwa, the homegirl didn't want to stand if she could lie down.
Hearing Li Changxi's words, Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at Zhunti Saint with sympathy, then immediately lowered his head.
Li Changxi has mental problems, but she doesn't.
Just because Zhunti doesn't care about the mentally ill, that doesn't necessarily mean he doesn't care about her.
So Guanyin Bodhisattva went straight to the point: "The Great Emperor Changsheng has almost arranged everything. As for Tathagata, Lingbao Tianzun has also been informed. Tathagata has begun to cooperate and ordered me to come to Datang to select people to go to Lingshan to obtain the scriptures. Everything is ready. As long as the saint sets off, everything can be officially launched."
Master Xuanzang nodded: "I have no problem with this, but what about longevity?"
There is no mistake in the poem, post, content, and read the book on 6, 9, and bar!
Without a good disciple to protect him, and only a mentally ill person named Li Changxi, Zhunti felt a little insecure.
It’s not that he was worried about his own life being in danger, but he was mainly worried about Li Changxi getting sick.
"It seems like he went to visit Yuanshi Tianwang?" Guanyin Bodhisattva was not sure.
Li Changxi gave her a definite answer: "He went to visit Yuanshi Tianwang. Yuanshi Tianwang was lecturing on 'Huanyuan Daoguo' in the Miluo Palace, and I went to listen. This is not the point. The point is that Zhenyuanzi also went."
Master Xuanzang was moved: "Changsheng wants to take action against Wuzhuang Temple?"
Li Changxi nodded: "Before, Zhen Yuanzi participated in the Yulan Festival and stood on the side of Tathagata. Junior brother has never forgotten this matter. Zhunti, you haven't forgotten it either."
Master Xuanzang smiled slightly.
Just kidding, everyone knows that Bodhisattva Cundi is famous for his magnanimity and never holds grudges.
Of course He will not forget.
"Junior brother, what you mean is that the fish have been caught almost completely, so we should take Zhen Yuanzi as the first sacrifice."
Master Xuanzang said in a deep voice: "Zhen Yuanzi...isn't he a little too strong? I'm afraid my current strength can't protect Changsheng."
"No hurry, let's cut off Zhen Yuanzi's retreat first. He is listening to the 'Hunyuan Dao Fruit' in Miluo Palace and can't come back for the time being. Let's divide the ginseng fruit from Wuzhuang Temple first."
At this point, Li Changxi's eyes lit up.
"Rumor has it that the effect of ginseng fruit is better than peaches."
"It's not a rumor, it's true."
Both Master Xuanzang and Guanyin Bodhisattva gave her a positive answer.
They have all eaten ginseng fruit and peaches, and are authorities in this area.
Then Li Changxi's eyes became brighter.
"My junior brother and I both need ginseng fruit to consolidate our cultivation. We will take this opportunity to return the ginseng fruit to its original owner."
Master Xuanzang, Guanyin Bodhisattva and the Tang Emperor all relearned the phrase "returning the property to its original owner."
But it was no use for them to object.
The two Taoist boys Qingfeng and Mingyue, who were guarding the Wuzhuang Temple, had no objection to this.
At this time, the flow of time in heaven and on earth has returned to the usual pace of one day in heaven equaling one year on earth.
Half a day later.
In front of Wuzhuang Temple.
The Great Sage Pingzhang, the Moon God, Master Xuanzang, and the Bodhisattva Guanyin walked into the Wuzhuang Temple together.
Qingfeng Mingyue led the way personally, and the door opened wide.
"Great Sage, please come in."
The two guides nodded and bowed, adhering to the ambition of saving the village in a roundabout way, and were full of a strong sense of mission.
Ji Changsheng ordered: "Go directly to the ginseng fruit tree."
"Okay Great Sage, please follow me."
Qingfeng Mingyue does whatever the Great Sage says.
After a while, the group saw the legendary ginseng fruit tree.
The green branches are fragrant, the green leaves are gloomy, the leaves look like banana trees, they are more than a thousand feet high, and the roots are seven or eight feet in circumference.
On the south-facing branch, a ginseng fruit is revealed. It looks just like a child, nodding and swaying in the wind.
Qingfeng Taoist introduced: "Great Sage, the ginseng fruit blooms once every three thousand years, bears fruit once every three thousand years, and matures in another three thousand years. In the shortest ten thousand years, only thirty fruits can be produced. If you are predestined, smell it and you will live three hundred and sixty years; if you eat one, you will live forty-seven thousand years.
"Another thing to note is that ginseng fruit is incompatible with the five elements. It falls when it meets gold, withers when it meets wood, melts when it meets water, burns when it meets fire, and sinks when it meets soil. You must use gold utensils to knock it down. If you knock it down, you can use a silk handkerchief to pad the plate. If you use some wooden utensils, it will wither, and even if you eat it, it will not prolong your life. You must use porcelain to eat it, dissolve it in clear water, and it will burn and be useless when it meets fire."
Eating peaches is far less troublesome than this.
However, it is precisely because of this that the peaches are not as effective as the ginseng fruit.
Even the nine thousand year old peaches cannot compare to the potency of the ginseng fruit.
But this does not mean that the peach tree is not as valuable as the ginseng fruit tree.
Ginseng fruit is good, but the yield of peaches alone is better than that of ginseng fruit tree.
There are three thousand six hundred peach trees and only one ginseng fruit tree.
In terms of value, the benefits created by the peach tree for the Queen Mother far exceed the benefits created by the ginseng fruit tree for Zhen Yuanzi.
An industrial chain can be established with peaches.
The ginseng fruit tree can only be a carnival for a niche group of people.
Ji Changsheng sensed Qingfeng Mingyue's cultivation, and then glanced at the lonely fruit on the ginseng fruit tree. He couldn't help but complain: "How many ginseng fruits should there be at this time?"
Mingyue Dao Tong said, "There were originally thirty fruits, and Master ate two earlier, so there are still twenty-eight."
"How many are there now?"
"one."
Mingyue finished speaking and lowered her head in shame.
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed again, she was indeed a good Bodhisattva who was honest and upright.
These holy immortals and Buddhas in the outside world really have no bottom line in what they do.
Originally, she still had some psychological pressure about wanting to embezzle Tathagata's benefits, but now it has completely disappeared without a trace.
The knowledgeable and experienced Great Sage Pingzhang was quite calm.
Having seen the amazing moves of Taibai Xingjun and Li Tianwang, Qingfeng Mingyue's level was no longer enough to shock him.
He just frowned and said, "This ginseng fruit is not enough to pay you."
How could the appearance fee of the Great Sage Ping Zhang be so cheap?
Taoist Qingfeng said quickly, "Great Saint, please allow us to do so. Wuzhuang Temple has been completely refined by Master. In Wuzhuang Temple, time can be adjusted at will without conflicting with the time in the outside world."
In the entire environment of the prehistoric fairyland, time cannot be adjusted.
However, some powerful Daluo masters have completely refined their own caves, separated them from Pangu's body, and turned them into their own private territories.
In a place like this, time can be adjusted.
Heaven, Hell, and the saints’ temples all fall into this category.
The same is true for Wuzhuang Temple.
After all, Zhen Yuanzi is an old-fashioned Daluo and he still has some foundation.
Taoist Qingfeng continued, "Before Master left Wuzhuang Temple, he had already given Mingyue and me the authority to control time in Wuzhuang Temple. As long as the Great Sage forces us to speed up the flow of time in Wuzhuang Temple, the ginseng fruit will naturally mature quickly."
Ji Changsheng and his group were amazed.
These guys are so skilled at smuggling and corruption that they are almost like Taoist priests.
Guanyin Bodhisattva couldn't help but ask: "In this case, why don't you speed up the flow of time in Wuzhuang Temple and replenish the ginseng fruit?"
Mingyue Daotong explained: "The ginseng fruit has a remarkable effect. Even though the ginseng fruit tree is one of the five spiritual roots, it still needs to rest and recuperate. Accelerating blindly will damage the spirituality of the ginseng fruit tree."
Qingfeng Dao Tong added: "The most important thing is that once the speed in Wuzhuang Temple starts to increase, Master will be able to sense it."
This is the most important thing.
So they can't accelerate themselves.
It can only be accelerated under the threat of the Great Sage of Settlement.
Putting the blame aside, they are still good disciples of Zhen Yuanzi.
Guanyin Bodhisattva now has only one feeling: live and learn.
Compared with these immortal monks, she is so pure.
"Great Sage, before we speed up, you'd better ask the Great Emperor Changsheng to stop Master in the Miro Palace. Don't let him come back too quickly. Leave us enough time to set up the crime scene."
Qingfeng Taoist once again demonstrated his professionalism.
Mingyue Taoist was no less impressive, and did not let Qingfeng have all the credit. He looked at Master Xuanzang attentively and said, "Master, you seem to have the body of an ordinary person now. If so, you need to leave Wuzhuang Temple first. Otherwise, with your life span, you will die before you can accomplish your mission."
Master Xuanzang: "...If you speed up, with your current level of cultivation, you won't be able to hold on for long."
Haotian introduced the "lifespan tax" and Ji Changsheng chose to inherit it, so Qingfeng Mingyue's lifespan theoretically isn't long.
Mingyue Daotong smiled slightly and said, "Master, guess how many ginseng fruits I have eaten?"
Master Xuanzang was speechless.
It turns out that all living beings in this ancient world need the teachings of saints.
"Disciple, I'll wait for you outside the temple."
"Okay."
Ji Changsheng moved his wrist.
The Great Sage of Account Balance is back! (End of this chapter)
