After saying that, Xu Xian turned and walked out of the tower.
When he passed by the golden-armored general at the door, he paused, turned around, looked at Du Qian and said hesitantly: "If Brother Du just wants to learn mathematics, I, Xu, am not talented enough, but I can do it for you..."
Before he could finish, Du Qian shook his head and said frankly: "I am looking for someone to teach you mathematics. It has nothing to do with mathematics itself."
Xu Xian pursed his lips, bowed his hands, and said ashamedly: "Then I can't help you!"
After saying this, Xu Xian took a step forward and never looked back.
After Xu Xian flew out of the tower, Du Qian tapped the table with his index finger and looked outside the tower with interest.
"Brother Yi, do we have other helpers in this world?"
“…”
Yi Jiu thought for a moment, then bowed and said, "To answer the Immortal, so far, only I am in charge of Banbuduo, but in Yuquan Mountain, there are still Brother Qi and Brother Ba, and their 3,000 talisman soldiers, who may be able to fight against the 100,000 heavenly soldiers!"
"scare!"
Du Qian was startled, staring at Yi Jiu with wide eyes, and asked, "Is it a celestial soldier from the upper realm or a celestial soldier from the lower realm?"
Yi Jiu was slightly startled, and said with a smile: "Of course it's the heavenly soldiers from the lower world!"
Du Qian breathed a sigh of relief, and then asked, "Are there any soldiers stationed in Banbuduo?"
Yi Jiu said ashamedly, "There are only 300 talisman soldiers to maintain order and capture fugitives. They are currently training on the third floor of the Godly Prison Tower. If the Immortal can use them, I will transfer them here."
"Not yet..."
Du Qian shook his head, and then seemed to remember something, blinking and asking, "Wait, Seventh Brother or Eighth Brother?"
Yi Jiu was stunned for a moment, and said in confusion: "That's right."
Du Qian couldn't help but ask, "Your seventh and eighth brothers wouldn't be called Yiqi Yiba, right?"
Yi Jiu smiled and complimented, "The Immortal is indeed as good as a god!"
"To be honest, I was originally a spirit from a mountain rock. After being enlightened by the master, I was named the guardian general."
"At that time, the eldest master had 17 brothers under him. All of them used the Heavenly Stems as their surnames and the order of their names. I am the 18th, so I am named Yijiu."
Does it mean from A1 to A9, and from B1 to B9?
Du Qian's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but complain in his heart: "This concise way of naming is really the style of Master Yu Ding..."
"In that case, you should call them Brother Sixteen and Brother Seventeen!"
Du Qian spoke with a curious look on his face.
Yi Jiu smiled and replied, "Originally, that was true, but after the eldest master ascended to heaven 1,100 years ago, the fifteen brothers left with him. Only the three of us brothers stayed in this world to look after the family business for the eldest master."
"Over time, we abandoned the surname A sequence and only used the surname B ranking."
"I see." Du Qian nodded, "It does sound a lot easier when you call it that."
Yi Jiu bowed and said, "My Lord, would you like me to inform my two brothers in Yuquan Mountain?"
Du Qian smiled and was about to answer when he suddenly frowned and looked outside the tower.
At this moment, Yijiu seemed to have noticed something. He immediately frowned and glared. He stretched out his right hand, and golden light burst out from his palm, condensing into a long spear. He pointed it at the sky outside the tower and shouted:
"Who?"
Before he finished speaking, a rosy glow appeared outside the tower, and a lotus pedestal appeared out of thin air, on which sat a smiling female figure.
Seeing that familiar beautiful face and that familiar pure bottle and willow branch, Du Qian knew that the person who appeared outside the tower was none other than the world's number one working model of the mythological multiverse, the Bodhisattva Guanyin who saves people from suffering in the South China Sea!
“It’s her indeed!”
Du Qian sighed inwardly.
As early as when he discovered that this world had the background of "The Legend of White Snake", he knew that sooner or later he would have to deal with Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Just as he smiled and was about to greet Guanyin Bodhisattva, Yi Jiu snorted angrily and shouted, "How dare you, you Buddhist scoundrel, spy on my secrets? Surrender now!"
Before he finished speaking, Yijiu leaped up, swung the long spear in his hand, and slashed at the head of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Seeing this scene, the smile on Du Qian’s face suddenly froze.
Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva seemed to have anticipated this. She waved her hand, took out a willow branch, and rushed towards the golden spear.
"clang--"
The melodious sound of metal clashing echoed over the tower.
Du Qian finally seized the opportunity and quickly stood up and said, "Brother Yi, wait a minute!"
After saying this, Yi Jiu frowned slightly, glanced at the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the lotus platform, then withdrew and fell back into the tower.
"Goddess!"
Yijiu held a long spear and bowed respectfully to Du Qian.
Du Qian's mouth twitched, and he couldn't help but whispered, "Brother Yi, why are you so reckless? Don't you know who she is?"
Yi Jiu frowned and asked in confusion: "Isn't it the Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea?"
Du Qian's eyes widened: "I know you still..."
Before he finished speaking, Du Qian's voice suddenly stopped. He looked at Yi Jiu in surprise, thinking that the other party had guarded the world for a thousand years and must know the situation of this world better than him.
...Could it be that the Guanyin before us is only the Guanyin of this world, and has nothing to do with the great master in the upper world?
If that's the case, then it doesn't matter!
As Du Qian thought about this, he turned his gaze to the Guanyin Bodhisattva outside the tower.
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, sat on the lotus platform, and said leisurely: "It's been a long time since we last met. How are you, Emperor?"
As soon as these words came out, Du Qian's body trembled, and he immediately coughed, cupped his hands and said with a smile: "Thank you for the Bodhisattva's concern, the Emperor will live forever..."
Yes, there was a case in this world where immortals, gods and Buddhas disappeared, and they did not reappear until two years ago. How could the Bodhisattva Guanyin at this time have nothing to do with the great master in the upper realm?
Thinking of this, Du Qian used his eyes to signal Yi Jiu not to be impulsive, and then said with a smile: "Since the Bodhisattva has come, please come in and have a chat."
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, flew to the platform on the top of the tower on the lotus platform, then stood up, flew off the lotus platform, and landed on the ground.
Seeing this scene, Du Qian blinked and said with a smile: "The Emperor often said that Bodhisattvas never visit the Three Treasures Hall without a reason. Now that the Bodhisattva has time to come down to the mortal world, he has come to visit Banbuduo on purpose. I wonder what he wants to do?"
Du Qian knew that his cultivation was still shallow, and he might still have some confidence in front of the Guanyin individual in the lower world, but facing an existence who knew Lin Zhongtian and was very likely the incarnation of the Guanyin Bodhisattva's spirit, he would be a little stretched.
Therefore, every word he spoke was about the Emperor, just to remind Guanyin of his background in the name of Lin Zhongtian.
Guanyin also knew what he meant, and immediately showed helplessness on her face, and said bluntly: "Donor Du, you worry too much. I am just an incarnation at the moment, and my words and actions cannot represent the original Buddha in the upper world."
“If I have offended you, this Divine General alone can take me down without the Emperor’s intervention…”
"Oh, really?" Du Qian raised his eyebrows and turned to look at Yi Jiu.
Yijiu nodded slightly, indicating that the Guanyin in front of him was indeed no match for him.
After getting Yijiu's reply, Du Qian finally felt relieved.
This is the downside of taking quests in the Mythic Multiverse.
Even in such an ordinary lower world, there are many natives with strong combat capabilities.
Du Qian is currently just a cultivator at the peak of the Spirit Transformation Realm. He can barely make it into the first echelon in this world, but he is still far inferior to T0-level existences like Guanyin Yijiu.
Fortunately, Lin Zhongtian and Ziwei Palace had enough reputation, and Jade Ding Zhenren had left many backup plans, so that a newcomer with little cultivation could also walk in this world.
Let alone anything else, just talk about the divine general Yijiu beside him, his cultivation is only one step away from becoming an immortal, and his combat power is comparable to that of a true immortal. It can be said that he is at the cliff-level ceiling of combat power in this world.
Thinking of this, Du Qian suddenly felt confident and looked at Guanyin and asked, "What exactly is the purpose of the Bodhisattva's visit?"
Guanyin smiled softly and said, "I came here for an old friend!"
Du Qian asked in surprise: "The descendant of an old friend?"
Guanyin smiled slightly and said, "Master Du should have seen the pair of snake spirit sisters, right?"
Du Qian nodded and said, "Indeed, I have seen it."
Guanyin sighed and said, "To be honest, benefactor, the thousand-year-old white snake spirit Bai Suzhen is actually a disciple of the Lishan Old Mother. I was entrusted by the Old Mother to enlighten her disciple and help the white snake become an immortal."
"That is why I appeared in person three months ago and gave instructions to Bai Suzhen to go to the Sword Tomb in the Purple Gold Haomiao Mountain to ask for the sword."
"Now, Bai Suzhen has asked for the Immortal Sword, so I sent her a message in my dream, and made an appointment with her to meet here half a step away..."
Du Qian suddenly realized, "So it was the Bodhisattva who made the appointment. No wonder she came today."
At this point, Du Qian looked puzzled: "If that's the case, why didn't the Bodhisattva go see the white snake? Why did he come to me?"
Guanyin looked at Du Qian deeply, and sighed softly, "Buddhism and Ziwei have always been on good terms. Since Mr. Du is under the command of the Emperor, you should understand the deep meaning of my action, right?"
Du Qian shook his head decisively and said, "I don't understand."
Seeing Du Qian pretending to be stupid, Guanyin could only sigh and said bluntly: "If Bai Suzhen wants to become an immortal, there is still a most crucial calamity."
"A thousand years ago, when Bai Suzhen was still a little white snake, she was saved by a mortal, and a cause and effect relationship was formed between them."
"Now, a thousand years have passed, Bai Suzhen has cultivated into a spirit, and that mortal has already experienced dozens of reincarnations..."
"I have come here with Bai Suzhen. On the surface, I want to guide her to become an immortal, but in fact, I want to create an opportunity for her to meet the reincarnation of that mortal and survive this disaster."
"I see." Du Qian nodded and asked in confusion, "But what does this have to do with me?"
Guanyin twitched her lips and could only say helplessly: "The reincarnation of Bai Suzhen's savior is Xu Xian!"
Du Qian suddenly understood, and then said with a smile: "No wonder, no wonder, look at my brain, I haven't figured it out. To be honest with you, I have already let Xu Xian go. Given his personality, he might go to Luoshui Town to supervise the Dragon King to make it rain."
"If the Bodhisattva wants them to meet, why not instruct Bai Suzhen to go to Luoshui Town..."
Guanyin raised one hand, chanted a Buddhist name, and said, "I deeply agree with what you said, so before I came to your house, I had already instructed the two sisters to go to Luoshui Town."
"But please do not interfere with what happens next."
"If I am not mistaken, Ziwei Palace is only looking for Xu Xian's master, and it has nothing to do with Xu Xian..."
Hearing Guanyin's words, the smile on Du Qian's face gradually faded, and he said calmly: "Shouldn't I be the one to say this?"
"Buddha, please don't blame me for being so blunt. The Buddhist sect's plan for Bai Suzhen is not just to turn her into an immortal, right?"
As he spoke, Du Qian walked down the stairs, looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and said seriously: "Bodhisattva, you should know the Emperor's attitude towards us. If that Purple Mountain Master is really one of us, then the matter between him and Xu Xian will be taken care of by the Purple Palace!"
