Mysterious female world.
Chen Yi was sitting cross-legged on a mountain top. The Dharma behind him was rising and falling, transforming into a vast demonic land. It was deep and boundless, with demonic flames surging into the sky, and from time to time there were ghostly black shadows that flashed away.
There are seven paths in total, corresponding to seven emotions: joy, anger, sadness, fear, love, evil, and desire.
The core principle of "Zizai Tianmo Sutra" is to infinitely magnify the seven emotions and six desires in human nature in order to achieve a state of freedom and lawlessness.
Even not only one's own body, but also the emotions of other creatures can be manipulated.
At the moment, Chen Yi can only take the first step to materialize the seven emotions. Only when he can absorb the seven emotions of other living beings as nourishment can he be considered successful in this technique.
…
Thirty years passed by in the world, and the cities and towns liberated by Chen Yi and Liuzhu gradually integrated and developed into a huge mortal dynasty - the Tang Dynasty.
In memory of Chen Yi and Liuzhu's kindness, the King of Tang built a golden body for the two of them and established Wu Lao Temple as the state religion. Yu Lian was favored by Chen Yi and naturally became the Tang Dynasty's national master.
One day.
Yu Lian was promoting Buddhism in the temple, and the six-beaded Dharma came to attract all the people to worship:
"Blessed is the Bodhisattva."
"Amitabha."
Liuzhu sat on the lotus, waving her delicate hands lightly, lifting the people with the gentle breeze, and turned to look at Yu Lian: "Yu Lian, have you achieved anything after thirty years of pure cultivation in the world of mortals?"
"Return to Bodhisattva."
Yu Lian clasped her hands together and bowed in response: "My disciple is stupid. He only understands some methods of reciting Buddha's name and chanting sutras and passes them on to the world, but he doesn't know how to teach the world to live in peace and happiness."
"Um."
Liuzhu was not surprised by this and said: "Although you have a deep connection with Buddhism, you will still be born in a mortal body of flesh and bones. All your understanding is Hinayana. It is difficult for you to enter the hall of elegance and lightness."
Yu Lian humbly asks for advice:
"Ask Bodhisattva for guidance."
"You go west."
Six-beaded finger to the west:
"After ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, you can enter my spiritual mountain. At that time, someone will teach you Mahayana Buddhism, teach you to save all sentient beings, save the world and benefit others, and save all sentient beings from the sea of suffering."
She originally planned to impart her Buddhist teachings directly to all living beings, but not everyone has the astonishing beauty of Chen Yi. If she wants to help the world, she has to start from the west.
Based on multiple inquiries.
She discovered that the Buddhist scripture search in the West was not a complete success, and that the real Mahayana scriptures were still hidden in the Sutra Pavilion, shackled by many inner demons, and the pearls were covered with dust.
Only those who have faced the calamity and resumed their journey to the west can achieve positive results and achieve great deeds.
Yu Lianshuang's eyes were bright and she said without hesitation: "If I can really save the world, I would like to make a great wish. I will go to the Western Heaven. I will never return the scripture if I don't get it!"
"That's good, that's good."
Liuzhu said with a smile: "It's a long way to go, and there are many tigers, leopards, monsters, and evil spirits. You are just a mortal. I'm afraid you will never come back, and you won't be able to save your life."
"in this way…"
"Forget it, I'll give you another brocade cassock and a nine-dragon tin staff."
When the words fell.
Golden light surged in his palm, and a cassock and a tin staff flew into Yu Lian's hand.
"This cassock is made of ice silkworm silk, woven by Xian'e. There are various treasures on it. If you wear my cassock, you will not fall into perdition or hell. When you are in danger, I will sense it."
Yu Lian took the treasure with both hands, immediately lowered her body, threw herself to the ground, kowtowed and shouted:
"On behalf of the people of the Tang Dynasty, I would like to thank Bodhisattva for his great mercy!"
…
That night.
Yu Lian was packing her bags when suddenly, a strange man broke into Wulao Temple.
She grabbed the tin stick on the table, her face full of vigilance:
"Who is your Excellency?"
The man calmed his breath and asked straight to the point:
"Are you going to the West to learn scriptures?"
Yu Lian's pupils shrank, full of surprise: Who is this person? Where did you get the news?
"Did you know that before you, the reincarnation of the Golden Chan from Leiyin Temple had united with the Great Sage of the Demon Clan and two Taoist masters to form a team to obtain scriptures and walk the path you are about to take?"
Pain flashed across the man's eyes, and he murmured in a low voice:
"They haven't been able to retrieve the scripture, why do you think you can?"
Yu Lian was silent for a long time.
His expression went from confused to shocked, and finally he was extremely determined: "Although I don't understand what you want to express, my answer to your question is very simple."
From the mouth of this ordinary woman, an extraordinary sentence came out:
"I want to pave the way for future generations!"
There must be someone walking down this road. Why can't that person be me? It's nothing more than dead bones in the grave, just a little bit of wind and frost.
"You will die!"
"What if it happens?"
A rhetorical question left the man speechless: Yes, what if it happens? Didn't they hold on to this eventuality until the last moment?
"well."
He sighed leisurely and said in a deep voice: "Before setting off, go to Shiwanda Mountain. If you are lucky enough to get that help, your probability of success will be greater."
Finished.
He left straight away, but when he turned the corner, he seemed to have been struggling for a long time. Suddenly, his back was turned to the temple, and his voice was a little trembling and a little hopeful, and he said softly:
"If you can, please help my master and senior brothers."
Eh?
Yu Lian was stunned: "Your master and senior brother? Where are they?"
She subconsciously looked towards the temple gate, hearing the sound of thunder, the roar of dragons and tigers, the dark clouds covering the sky, and the heavy rain pouring down. Where could there be a man?
"What a weirdo."
Yu Lian shook her head and continued to pack her bags.
…
The next day.
Consider it all night.
Yu Lian decided to go to Shiwanda Mountain to visit the legendary Mr. Chen.
Deep mountains and old forests.
According to the coordinates provided by the mysterious man, Yu Lian found Chen Yi's residence, but she stopped outside the door with a troubled expression. She raised her hand to knock on the door several times, then lowered her eyebrows with a frown.
The main reason is that she doesn't know what kind of person Chen Yi is, and she is worried that interrupting him rashly will offend him. After all, the two of them have never met each other before, and they are neither relatives nor friends.
True.
She learned a bit of the inheritance left by the other party. The problem was that Chen Yi never acknowledged the relationship between the two of them as master and apprentice. He had not even come to see her in the past few decades.
I felt a little disgusted with her, as if I was deliberately avoiding her.
"Are you the cicada that has been dormant for twenty-three years?"
Yu Lian worries about gains and losses.
A plain and fairy voice came from the ruined temple.
Yu Lian heard this and bowed hurriedly:
"Disciple Yu Lian, meet the fate master!"
"But are you ready to go west?"
"Master Yuan sits alone in Youhuang and manages all the world's affairs. His disciples admire him greatly!"
"Haha, glib."
There was no emotion or anger in Chen Yi's tone, and three sword qi shot out quickly, entering Yu Lian's eyebrows: "You and I are destined to give you three sword qi to see you off."
"The first sword energy can kill the golden elixir demon; the second sword energy can suppress the evil spirits of Nascent Soul; the third sword energy can establish an invincible position in the realm of killing mortals."
"If you come back with the true scriptures in that year, you can be called my disciple."
Yu Lian was overjoyed and bowed to express her gratitude.
"Go ahead."
As soon as the breeze blew, the remaining lotus came down the mountain. Chen Yichang exhaled a breath, slowly closed his eyes, and said to himself: "You will have no regrets when you make a move. The success or failure of this game depends entirely on this woman."
"Return to the present world."

Author's words: According to official history, the state religion of the Tang Dynasty should be Taoism. This plot adopts part of the worldview of Journey to the West, so Buddhism was designated as the state religion of the Tang Dynasty.
