"Ah, fish sashimi?"

Chen Xuanzang hurriedly said: "Donor, monks don't eat meat..."

Du Qian smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, they are all protein, just think of it as eating soybeans!"

Chen Xuanzang looked puzzled: "Protein?"

"Why, you don't know?"

Du Qian put his arm around Chen Xuanzang's shoulders and talked to him as they walked: "Let me tell you, as the saying goes, one flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi. This microscopic world, like the macroscopic world, is also a colorful place..."

While Du Qian was casually explaining scientific principles, he put his arm around Chen Xuanzang's shoulder and walked towards the city gate.

Behind them, a young girl in a white shirt and a red skirt frowned and looked at the two of them from behind.

“…Is it him?”

Miss Duan looked at Du Qian's back in confusion. After a little thought, she decided to follow him and see what happened.

At the same time, in the streets of the north of the city, a short-haired monk with tattered clothes and a fat belly was running wildly on the street. He had a greasy chicken leg in his mouth and was eating as he ran.

It was not until he turned into a corridor covered with murals that the fat and drunken monk finally shook off the "pursuers" behind him.

He stood in front of the mural, holding his knees and breathing heavily.

“That was a close call!”

After sighing, the fat monk breathed a sigh of relief, raised his hand to grab the chicken leg, and began to chew it happily.

At this moment, the murals on the wall suddenly moved. Lines of ink flowed like water, and from the original pictures and words, they gradually converged into a dancing black dragon.

The fat monk noticed the movement in the mural and immediately paused. His originally happy expression suddenly turned calm.

He frowned, turned around, faced the mural, and looked at the black dragon with a slightly puzzled look.

I saw a black dragon moving around on the wall of the corridor, looking lifelike with bared fangs and claws.

But strangely, there was a blank space in its eye sockets, as if some force prevented the birth of eyes.

The fat monk looked at the wall thoughtfully, and suddenly picked up the brush in the corner and put a stroke on the ink dragon's eyes.

In an instant, the dragon's eyes opened wide, and a black dragon flew out from the mural, swam around in the air with its fangs and claws bared, and finally landed on the ground, transforming into a young man in a black robe.

Looking at the calm fat monk in front of him, the young man smiled slightly.

"Good morning, fellow Taoist!"

“…”

The fat monk glanced at the sky and chuckled, "It's already noon."

The young man in black robe didn't care at all. He sat down cross-legged, ignoring the dust on the ground, and said with a smile: "What's the difference between morning and noon? It's nothing more than the normal movement of the sun and the moon. As long as I want, even if I want to change the time now, what's the difficulty?"

"hehe!"

The fat monk laughed when he heard this.

He also sat down on the spot, facing the black-robed young man, and said softly: "Your Majesty is in such a refined mood that you actually traveled through my Buddhist world with your divine thoughts. If the Emperor had informed Lingshan in advance, I would not have entertained you so hastily..."

"The Buddha is joking!"

The black-robed young man smiled and said, "Having the Buddha's divine consciousness here is already the highest level of hospitality. How dare Lin not be dissatisfied?"

There is no doubt that the black-robed young man transformed by the ink dragon is the information thought entity that Lin Zhongtian transmitted to this world.

After many attempts, he finally gained the magical power to move freely in this world.

That is [the finishing touch] and [vividness], the two work together to create the body that Lin Zhongtian is seeing now.

As for the fat monk who helped Lin Zhongtian to put the finishing touches on his eyes, he was none other than Chen Xuanzang’s master in the movie, the incarnation of the Buddha’s divine consciousness.

Lin Zhongtian originally thought that he was the projection of Tathagata in this world, so he didn't care much about it.

But when he actually saw the fat monk, he discovered that this guy was actually the true divine consciousness of Tathagata!

As a result, the nature of the world of Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons has changed.

Lin Zhongtian originally thought it was a separate world, but now it seems that it should also be part of the multiverse of Chinese mythology.

After discovering this, Lin Zhongtian could no longer use his information power to directly restrict Tathagata's actions as he had previously thought.

After all, he has always maintained friendly relations with the Buddhists in the mythological multiverse. Buddhist masters like Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva have even looked after alliance members like Bai Youyou on his behalf.

Because of this, Lin Zhongtian chose to show up in a clear manner, pay a polite visit, and leave the choice of dotting the eyes to Tathagata's divine consciousness.

The fat monk was worthy of being the Tathagata's divine consciousness. He understood Lin Zhongtian's meaning instantly, and then pointed the eyes of Lin Zhongtian's black dragon, indicating that he formally accepted Lin Zhongtian's presumptuous visit.

but……

The fat monk smiled and asked, "I wonder why the emperor came here?"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and asked, "Buddha, do you really not know?"

The fat monk smiled but said nothing, obviously intending to hear Lin Zhongtian speak for himself.

Lin Zhongtian raised his eyebrows and said bluntly, "Since the World Honored One does not intend to use the Heavenly Court's trick, then I will speak frankly. Du Qian has already been selected by my alliance. Regarding his affairs, the Buddhist sect shall not interfere!"

The fat monk's eyebrows jumped, and he said helplessly: "The emperor is indeed as the rumors say, he is very domineering!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "You asked me to speak frankly, and now you blame me for not being able to speak?"

The fat monk shook his head and said, "Your Majesty has misunderstood. This is not my intention."

Lin Zhongtian said jokingly, "You'd better not have it. After all, in this world, the Buddhist sect may not be my opponent."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere immediately became silent.

The two of them sat cross-legged and looked at each other, and suddenly burst into laughter.

The fat monk smiled and said, "To be honest, I discovered Donor Du several years ago. At that time, Donor Du's soul was tainted with the aura of the Emperor. I knew his origins, so I asked the local Buddhist sect to secretly watch over him."

"But please rest assured, Your Majesty. Apart from guiding the troupe to find him, our Buddhist sect did not do anything to him."

“I see!” Lin Zhongtian nodded thoughtfully and said with a smile, “Then I have to thank the Buddha on his behalf!”

The fat monk waved his hand and said, "It's just a piece of cake!"

"Compared to this, it's almost time for dinner now. I wonder if the Emperor would be willing to show mercy and let me have a meal?"

Hearing the fat monk's sudden change in tone, Lin Zhongtian knew that this was because Tathagata's divine consciousness had disappeared and he had replaced his personality again.

He smiled and asked, "What would the Buddha like to eat?"

The fat monk looked naive and said with a smile: "Anything is fine. I have no taboos in this earthly body. I can eat simple food or delicacies from land and sea. To me, they are all passing clouds..."

"Okay then!"

Lin Zhongtian waved his sleeves, and the ink marks on the mural suddenly surged, gathering into vivid delicacies from land and sea, which were then taken out one by one by Lin Zhongtian and placed on the ground between the two of them.

In an instant, the fragrance filled the air and the spiritual energy spread out, and then was restrained in a small space by some force.

The fat monk watched Lin Zhongtian's actions, with a hint of shock and solemnity in his eyes.

He had never been exposed to the Avenue of Information, so naturally he couldn't understand what magical powers Lin Zhongtian was using.

In just one minute, a fairy feast that was no less magnificent than the Peach Festival was placed before the two of them.

The fat monk withdrew his gaze and exclaimed sincerely: "The Emperor is so powerful!"

Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Sorry for showing off my ugliness!"

The fat monk glanced at the mysterious power surrounding him and sighed.

Lin Zhongtian’s meaning was very clear. He showed up with his divine consciousness, forcing Tathagata to entertain him personally.

At the same time, he used that unknown power to cover all directions, seemingly blocking the immortal energy and spiritual energy, but in fact he was telling the incarnation of Tathagata that as long as he didn't leave, you wouldn't be able to escape.

Of course, in addition to these negative meanings, Lin Zhongtian’s behavior has another meaning.

That is, he only cares about Du Qian and has no intention of interfering with this world's journey to the West.

This was also what Tathagata wanted to see, so after sighing, he smiled slightly, raised his hand to grab a chicken claw, and started to eat it with big mouthfuls while sitting and talking with the black-robed young man opposite him.

As they were talking, golden flowers fell from the sky and golden lotus emerged from the ground around them.

But even with such a grand vision, the people passing by seemed to be completely blind to it and walked past it as if they were oblivious.

This is the barrier-type magical power among Lin Zhongtian’s many information magical powers, which is more versatile than [Drawing a Prison on the Ground] - [Create a World of Your Own]!

In a small space, the universe and all things combine to form the heaven and earth.

…

…

While the two big guys were sitting and discussing, Du Qian, who was unaware that he had a powerful backer, had already arrived at Yulong Village.

At this time, Yulong Village had just invited an exorcist who looked like a Taoist priest.

His attire looked very professional in the eyes of mortals, with a compass, talisman paper, wooden sword...all kinds of exorcism props hanging all over his body.

But unfortunately, none of these exorcism props have any spiritual charm. They are all similar in shape but lack charm.

It's obvious that he's just a charlatan masquerading as an exorcist.

Du Qian had seen many people like this while traveling around with the opera troupe.

Sure enough, under Du Qian's disdainful gaze, the Taoist priest stood on a wooden boat, holding a peach wood sword, and kept muttering.

He imitated the movements of a Northeastern shaman, held Taoist talismans in his hands, and chanted Buddhist scriptures. In the eyes of those who know the matter, it can be said to be hilarious.

But it was precisely this kind of behavior that made the ignorant villagers around feel awe-inspiring, and they all looked at the river with serious expressions.

Seeing this scene, Du Qian chuckled and quietly activated his magical power [Avoid the Real and Attack the False].

"boom!"

At this moment, the Taoist pointed his finger into the water, and instantly the waves surged and there was a loud roar.

After the roar, a huge Gulliver fish floated to the surface of the water, its pale belly turned upside down, and its belly was covered with hideous bloodstains. It looked as if it could not be deader.

"ah?"

Du Qian was slightly startled, then his face turned black.

My goodness, he had seen the movie and knew that the Taoist priest blew up a giant Gu fish to death in the movie.

He thought that this guy at least had some professional skills in underwater blasting, so he wanted to play a trick on him. However, he didn't expect that this guy even lied about killing the Gu fish!

Being able to hurt a living being in a barrier that avoids the real and attacks the false can only mean one thing -

That means the Gu fish had died long before the Taoist took action!

Du Qian took a closer look and found that the bloodstains on the chest and abdomen of the Gu's fish were quite regular, and looked very much like those caused by a sword. This meant that the Taoist must have killed it long ago, but had somehow hidden it under the hull when he went into the water.

The mine cut the rope, and the body of the Gu fish naturally separated from the hull and floated to the surface.

Du Qian was worthy of being from an opera troupe, and he easily figured out the Taoist's methods.

"Okay, okay, you want to play magic with me?"

Du Qian was so upset that he immediately pulled Chen Xuanzang, who was still in amazement, over.
