"Amitabha, I'm afraid the donor made a mistake. This is the place where Master Xuanzang practices and lectures. There is no such thing as 'Golden Chanzi'. Please come back -"
The little novice monk thought for a long time, but still couldn't figure out who "Jin Chanzi" was. He clasped his palms together again and politely refused the visitor.
"Haha, I didn't make it clear. It is Master Xuanzang who is here to pay me a visit. My young master can just present this thing to Master Xuanzang."
After being declined by the young novice, the visitor was not discouraged, nor did he show a trace of displeasure. He handed over the "rosary beads" in his hand again.
"Well...well, I can't guarantee that Master Xuanzang will be able to see you, little monk. Please ask the donor to wait here later."
The little novice monk was helpless. He always felt that the person in front of him was a little strange, but he couldn't figure out what was wrong. Finally, he took the "rosary" handed over by the other party.
...
After a short time, the little novice monk left and returned, but his hands were empty.
"Amitabha, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Master Xuanzang invites you——"
The young novice did not bring back the string of "rosary beads", and the visitor did not even mention it, but silently followed the young novice inside.
"Amitabha and Master Xuanzang are waiting for you on the fifth floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. Please go up on your own, but the young monk cannot climb this tower."
When he came to the door of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, the young novice stopped and refused to go any further.
"Okay, I'm here to help you, young master—"
Seeing the young novice standing respectfully aside, the visitor had no choice but to open the pagoda door on his own.
"Squeaky-"
The evening watch has passed, and the chirping of summer insects can be heard all around, making this summer night seem even quieter.
There is no one on the first floor of the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda". There is a green lamp on the wall. It is slightly dim, but you can barely see the way to the stairs.
"Thump thump thump..."
"Thump thump thump..."
The "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" has five floors, and Master Xuanzang was waiting for him on the fifth floor. The visitor did not stop and climbed to the fifth floor in one breath.
"Amitabha, are you here?"
"I'm here. I don't know whether I should call you 'Senior Brother Jin Chanzi' or Master Xuanzang?"
The fifth floor of the "Big Wild Goose Pagoda" is a small room, smaller than a normal room.
There were no decent furnishings in the room, except for a short table facing the stairs. On the short table were several scriptures and the Four Treasures of the Study.
A monk is sitting cross-legged behind the ottoman. He has a bald head without a hat. The scar on his head shines brightly under the green light of the ottoman. He is holding a string of "rosary beads" in his hand.
Wasn't that "rosary" given to the little novice monk by the visitor?
"'The golden cicada has become a thing of the past. After ten lives of reincarnation and ten lives of practice, the poor monk has gained a lot of insights, and it is just a title. Just like others, call the poor monk Xuanzang, Amitabha."
The person sitting on the short table is none other than Tang Monk who came back from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Master Xuanzang is now famous all over the world, and he is also the "Zhan Tan Merit Buddha" in the Western world.
"It seems that Senior Brother's ten lifetimes of practice have not been in vain. Compared with the golden cicada back then, he is even more filled with Buddha nature, which is gratifying. Haha, when I arrived at Senior Brother's place, there was not even a place to sit. ?"
The visitor walked over naturally and took off the gauze hat on his head, revealing a head full of dark clouds and a delicate face.
What kind of face is that?
The clouds are like clothes and flowers, and the spring breeze blows the threshold and the dew is thick.
If we hadn't seen him at the top of Qunyu Mountain, he would have met at Yaotai under the moon.
If Li Zhi were here, he would definitely recognize this person, and would even be surprised by his relationship with Tang Seng. Who is not the "Wu Lady"?
"Junior sister has been extremely talented since she was a child, but unfortunately her heart is not there
I am a Buddha, but I am greedy for the world of mortals. Otherwise, I must be a Buddha in my Buddhist sect. Please sit down, little junior sister——"
Saying "please sit down", Tang Monk took out a futon from the void.
It was the futon that Li Zhi gave him that year. Unexpectedly, it awakened the memory of "Golden Chanzi" and created the "Santan Merit Buddha". Tang Monk actually still kept this thing.
"Senior brother, this futon is a little old, isn't it? It looks like something from Nanhai."
Lady Wu was not polite and sat cross-legged opposite Tang Monk, feeling that this futon was special.
"Junior sister is a person with great ambitions. Now she appears in Chang'an City. I'm afraid she has a big plot, but she found a poor monk for some reason?"
Tang Seng did not answer Mrs. Wu's words, but asked her why she came.
Speaking of this, Lady Wu is no ordinary mortal, she is also a person from the Western Buddhist sect who has reincarnated into the human world.
But for some unknown reason, he not only awakened the memory of his previous life, but also got in touch with the higher-ups of Buddhism.
In fact, she was reincarnated with a mission to rebuild, but unfortunately she met an outsider like Li Zhi, which completely changed the direction of the Tang Dynasty, and even caused the entire Three Realms to change in this way.
"So that my senior brother will know that my little sister came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to promote my Buddhist teachings under the orders of my master. And if we want to promote Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty, we must start from the royal family of the Li family."
"This little girl in this life is so beautiful that she can conquer the country. I originally thought she could enter the palace with this. Unfortunately, the Emperor Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty has not admitted any concubines for many years."
When Mrs. Wu said this, she sighed softly.
According to the master's original instructions, she would have been married to two generations of monarchs of the Tang Dynasty. Who would have thought that before she grew up, Li Shimin "lived in seclusion" in the palace of Prince Jin.
And the other Li Zhi, who is "destined" with Lady Wu, is not even in Chang'an City. If you want to know when he will come back, who should you ask?
Lady Wu stayed in Chang'an for two or three years without achieving anything, and then she had no choice but to follow the path of King Li Tai of Wei.
It's a pity that in the eyes of Lady Wu, King Li Zhi of Wei is no different from other ordinary people, and she is even more disgusted by his fat body.
Even if he went the way of King Wei Li Tai, even if Li Tai showed a "Brother Pig" expression when he saw this Lady Wu, Lady Wu only agreed to be a guest in the Palace of Wei.
Nowadays, the atmosphere of cultivation in the entire Tang Dynasty is getting stronger and stronger. This is actually a situation where the Eastern Taoist Sect is strengthening in disguise.
In order to better complete the set tasks, with the blessing of the Western Buddha, this warrior lady is now also in the early stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal".
In such a state, fighting in battle is still a lot worse. As a stunning woman, she can protect herself enough.
"Then, what's the next step for Junior Sister?"
The "Golden Chanzi" in his previous life was the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, but now Tang Xuanzang seems to have his own opinions.
Moreover, even in the previous life, this Lady Wu was just a descendant of the future Buddha "Maitreya Buddha", known as "Maitreya in White".
Back then, "Maitreya in White" and "Golden Chanzi" could be regarded as the two highlights of Xitian Lingshan. The main reason was that these two were unconventional people and could not help but attract the attention of others.
However, the friendship between these two people can only be regarded as mediocre. Now they can call each other "senior brother" and "junior sister" because of their friendship with each other.
After hearing that Mrs. Wu's mission was to promote Buddhism in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, Monk Tang unconsciously asked.
"In today's Tang Dynasty, the number of masters of cultivation is increasing day by day, especially in the Prince Jin's Mansion. Now my little sister doesn't dare to pry into it at will."
"I heard that my senior brother has an old relationship with His Highness Prince Jin. I wonder if I can help my little sister? I'm not talented, so I'm willing to commit myself to Prince Jin's palace, even if I just become a concubine."
Mrs. Wu bit her silver teeth and said with some reluctance.
With her always proud and arrogant temperament, coupled with the awakening of the memories of her previous life, she asked herself whether
Her appearance, skills, and cultivation are ranked among the best in the entire Three Realms.
Unfortunately, His Royal Highness Prince Jin Li Zhi is already married, and the real Princess Jin is actually the "Three Holy Mothers" Yang Chan.
You know, Yang Chan is now at the top of the list of female immortals in the three realms, and she is also the number one among young female immortals.
As long as Wei Wang Li Tai can give her a little hope, Lady Wu may not make such a request.
"Amitabha, I'm afraid this is inappropriate for junior sister. The poor monk knows junior sister's intentions and methods, but junior sister doesn't know Jiulang's personality and character."
"Let me tell my junior sister this way, even if the poor monk is now a quasi-sage, he probably won't be able to see through Jiulang."
"Although the poor monk has not seen Jiulang for many years, the legends about him spread in the Three Realms alone are enough to shock the poor monk."
"Junior sister, you were able to find the poor monk. The poor monk is deeply relieved, but he is helpless. Now that the calamity of the journey to the west is over, the poor monk always feels that the secret of heaven is getting more and more chaotic."
"You and I belong to the same sect, and Jiulang has an old relationship with the poor monk. At this time of chaos, the poor monk has no choice but to help each other."
"You have put away the rosary given by Maitreya Buddha. It actually contains his quasi-holy strike. As long as you don't offend someone who is too rebellious, I can protect your life. Amitabha... .”
It was rare for Tang Monk to say so many words, then he closed his eyes tightly and began to meditate, but the string of "rosary beads" returned to Lady Wu's hands.
"In that case, I'll take my leave—"
Seeing that Tang Monk stopped talking and looked like he was seeing off guests, Mrs. Wu had no choice but to stand up, turn around and go down the tower.
...
"Amitabha, you are so good, Jiulang, my uncle really misses you. Tang Xuanzang, are you still satisfied with what I just said?"
"Amitabha, Jin Chanzi, the poor monk has said it a long time ago, you can be me, but I am not you. The poor monk has had a bumpy journey all the way to the west, but you are waiting for 'Lingyun Crossing Nestle Jiuzhan?"
"Hahaha, fortunately the poor monk listened to Jiulang's words and practiced all the way. If he hadn't had some cultivation, wouldn't he have been reborn by you in 'Lingyun Ferry'?"
"Shut up! Tang Xuanzang, now you only have a trace of your soul left. Do you still have a chance to rebel?"
"Everyone in the world knows that the person who traveled thousands of miles to learn scriptures is me. I am the current Master Xuanzang. Don't worry, one day I will completely refine this residual soul of yours... "
After Lady Wu left, Master Xuanzang was sitting on the fifth floor of the Big Wild Goose Pagoda, talking to himself.
However, it was clearly the voices of two people just now?
...
"Your Highness, you...what's wrong with you?"
As soon as Li Zhi and his party left the "Sea of Netherworld Blood", they saw a large amount of light of merit falling from the sky. Most of the falling merit went towards Li Zhi, and a small part of it entered Nezha's body. .
"The merits of traveling to the west? Have you completed the study of scriptures?"
Others didn't know what was going on, but Nezha knew it. He also participated in several catastrophes during the Journey to the West and earned the merit he deserved.
For more than a year, Li Zhi and others have been staying in the Demon Realm, which is an existence independent of the Three Realms. When they came out, they happened to enter the "Netherworld Sea of Blood".
Well, this is also a special place. It was the navel of the Great God Pangu, and it gathered the most filthy things in the world.
No, as soon as they came out of the "Sea of Netherworld and Blood", the merits of their journey to the west were distributed in full.
"Second brother, it seems that Journey to the West has ended. Combining the actions of those demons and the anomalies in the Heavenly Demon Palace, I have reason to believe that the Three Realms may be about to change."
"Second brother is still the Three Tanhai of Heaven.
Master Hui, Brother Yang is also serving in Heaven. I think you should return to Heaven as soon as possible. If something happens, you can help him. "
Nezha received some of the merits of his journey to the west. Although his realm was not improved, the cultivation of "Daluo Jinxian" became more solid in the later period.
Li Zhi is not like that. Li Zhi has personally been on the journey to the West for four years. Because he is familiar with the plot, he even steals a lot of scenes from others. He has gained ten times the merits of Journey to the West, which is more than Nezha.
Li Zhi did not use it to improve his cultivation, but instead sent it all into his physical body.
It's a pity that so many merits from the journey to the west broke into Li Zhi's body like a mud cow entering the sea, but disappeared quietly without a trace.
"Hey, it seems that it is really difficult to achieve the body of the ancestral witch——"
Li Zhi muttered quietly, but Nezha rolled his eyes.
Fortunately, he is his brother, so he is envious of him, and he who is jealous of him has him, but how about hating him? At this time, Li Zhi's words and expressions were really a bit hateful.
"Well, little brother, let's go back to heaven first. Now I am also in the late stage of Daluo Golden Immortal. I will discuss it with my elder brother when I go back. Haha, I hope he can make some progress."
The eldest brother in their mouth naturally refers to Erlang Shen Yang Jian.
When the brothers separated, Yang Jian was only in the middle stage of "Daluo Jinxian" cultivation. Is Nezha a little unable to hold himself back and thinking about returning to heaven to vent the "bad breath" that has lasted for more than a thousand years?
"Rutoro, Indra, you two are fast on your feet. Hurry to Nanzhan Buzhou and Chang'an of the Tang Dynasty. If nothing happens to the Jin Palace, you two will guard it secretly for the time being. If the Jin Palace... ..”
"Don't worry, my lord, if anyone dares to offend Prince Jin's Mansion, I will definitely kill them all——"
With the help of Li Zhi's twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus, the two former demon generals of the Asura clan, now considered the two most powerful generals under Li Zhi, have restored their cultivation to the later stages of the "Great Luo Golden Immortal".
It's a pity that Li Zhi, a "road idiot", couldn't tell the direction. He couldn't show his timidity in front of everyone, but he was worried that something would happen to everyone in the Jin Palace, so he asked these two generals to take the lead.
"Your Highness Prince Jin, Xiaolong also wants to go back to the North Sea for a visit. Judging from the hydrology here, we seem to be on the surface of the East China Sea."
"You go directly to the west. As long as you see land, you can return to Chang'an in less than a hundred thousand miles."
After Rutuolo and Indra left, Ao Lei, the eldest prince of Beihai Dragon Palace, also said goodbye.
During this trip to the Demon World, Ao Lei gained a lot of knowledge, at least his own strength improved a lot, and he met many masters of the "Daluo Golden Immortal".
The honest and honest Prince of Beihai was stimulated by all he encountered and felt that his previous vision was too shallow.
Be it the Beihai Dragon Palace or the Four Seas, plus the small part of Beiju and the southern part of Luzhou that he had set foot on, Ao Lei felt that he was a bit of a "frog in the well".
"Okay, brother Ao Lei, just go back first. If something happens that is beyond your control, don't be brave. You can join forces with Tianlang Mountain in Luzhou, Beiju to fight against the enemy."
Due to the purpose of uniting the world, Beihai cannot directly serve under Li Zhi. He is now just a prince in the world.
"Tianlang Mountain" is not the case. It is already Li Zhi's own power.
"Ao Lei will definitely bring this kindness from His Highness King Jin to my father. No matter what happens in the future, Beihai Dragon Palace will definitely stand behind His Highness King Jin. We are willing to be the tail wing and let us run wherever we want!"
Ao Shun, the Dragon King of the North Sea, cannot be too full of words. After all, he is the Lord of the sea. Every word, every action, and every action is related to thousands of sea creatures.
Ao Lei is not the same. Although he is more stable than his second brother, in order to express his gratitude to Li Zhi, he sometimes "utters arrogant words".
After sending all these people away one by one, only Li Zhi, Luo Jia and Xiao Liluo were left in the air.
"Kuro...Kuro, do you have any other plans?"
There were no outsiders around, and Princess Luojia slowly
Relax.
"Yes, the sea under your feet should be the East China Sea, but it is the eastern part of the East China Sea. With Rutoro and Indra returning to Chang'an, ordinary people are definitely no match."
"Continue east from here. There is a better place there. I haven't visited it in many years."
After hearing Ao Lei say that they were on the East China Sea, Li Zhi began to identify them seriously.
The good place Li Zhi mentioned was the isolated "Yingzhou Island". Ten years have passed in a flash, but I don't know what has become of "Yingzhou Island"?
Compared with the Jin Palace in the Tang Dynasty, and the "Xuanyuan Pavilion" in Jiulang Mountain that he casually set up on his journey to the west, "Yingzhou Island" is the most ideal place in Li Zhi's heart.
Unfortunately, the distance is too far.
Li Zhi had completely refined the island protection formation of "Yingzhou Island", but he was unable to bring "Yingzhou Island" back together.
Of course, even if he had the ability to bring it back, could he really hold on to it?
There are certainly many of the three realms of Blessed Land, Cave, and Heaven, but most of them have owners. However, this "Yingzhou Island", as one of the legendary overseas Three Immortal Islands, has disappeared for many years.
If Li Zhi dares to take him back, he will definitely become the target of public criticism in the Three Realms.
Not to mention that his realm was not obvious back then, even now, can Li Zhi completely protect this "Yingzhou Island"?
However, thinking about the scene in my memory of the demons running rampant in the three realms, even if Li Zhi couldn't care about the thousands of people in the Tang Dynasty, what about those people in the palace of Prince Jin?
"Dad, what kind of place is this? Luo'er wants to go there too."
Four-year-old children are innocent and exploring the unknown world is their nature at this age.
Before Princess Luojia could speak, Xiao Liluo jumped over first and jumped into Li Zhi's arms, making Li Zhi smile bitterly.
Who has ever seen a person named "Daluo Jinxian" who calls out "Daddy" in a coquettish voice for a hug?
"Okay, okay, daddy will take Luoer and your mother there to play. If Luoer likes it, we will take it home directly."
Li Zhi didn't just say this.
During this trip to the demon world, it seemed that Li Zhi had not improved much in terms of realm, but he was constantly digesting the twelve strange "Thunder Tribulations".
Not only did it achieve his current "Pseudo-Ancestral Witch Body", it also gave Li Zhi a very strange feeling.
To be precise, it inspired something inherent in Li Zhi's body, which was the product of the bowl of "Wood Spirit Soup" he drank from Po Meng when he entered the underworld.
Just as Po Meng said back then, there was a trace of her elder brother's essence in that "Witch Spirit Soup".
Who is Po Meng, or Empress Houtu’s eldest brother?
Ancestral Witch Emperor Jiang!
Di Jiang's speed is unmatched by anyone in the entire prehistoric era, and his most powerful thing is the "Law of Space".
While others could travel many miles away, this ancestral witch directly used the "Law of Space" to tear apart the space and appear where he wanted to go in an instant.
Li Zhi would naturally not be able to understand such high-end products as the "Laws of Space" based on just a ray of Di Jiang's energy, let alone what level he was at?
However, this time after Li Zhi's physical body reached the "Pseudo-Ancestral Witch Body", he faintly felt that the bowl of "Witch Spirit Soup" he drank many years ago seemed to be working in his body again.
The sea of consciousness that was originally hundreds of miles wide now expanded more than ten times.
However, the water of spiritual power did not spread outward, and it still maintained its original size of hundreds of miles. However, the formation of the "Sky Dou Star Formation" suspended in mid-air expanded, directly covering the entire sea of consciousness. above.
Li Zhi had an inexplicable desire. He always wanted to put a "living thing" into the sea of consciousness. He felt that the "living thing" would definitely be able to survive in his sea of consciousness.
It was a very strange feeling, and Li Zhi couldn't explain why he felt this way.
It's a pity that at this time, Li Zhi is only surrounded by Princess Luojia and Xiao Liluo. He can't use his wife and children as "guinea pigs", right?
The Asura clan has its own inheritance
Seeing that her daughter has reached the realm of "Daluo Golden Immortal", Princess Luojia naturally taught her the skills.
The little girl didn't think too much, she just thought it was fun, so she took them one by one for her own use.
A family of three flew east, but Li Zhi reluctantly became his daughter's "mount". How could a maniac who dotes on daughters let his four-year-old daughter waste his magic power?
...
"Dad, where are we going? We have been flying for more than ten days, right?"
Thirteen days later, Li Zhi finally stopped, standing in mid-air, closing his eyes and feeling.
"Luo'er, we are almost there, eight thousand miles southeast."
Li Zhi was very happy. When he left "Yingzhou Island", he could only sense the existence of "Yingzhou Island" from a thousand miles away, but now it has expanded to eight thousand miles away.
He is only in the late stage of "Taiyi Golden Immortal". If he reaches the Daluo realm, or even a higher realm, wouldn't the perception distance become farther?
Eight thousand miles away, he arrived in an instant, but Li Zhi frowned. He actually smelled the aroma of wine?
"Who is your distinguished master? Why did he appear near Yingzhou Island?"
The aroma of the wine was beyond Li Zhi's imagination. What's even more exaggerated is that Li Zhi used his "Breaking Golden Eyes" to scan thousands of miles around, but he couldn't find even a single figure...
