After handling the affairs of the Council House and reporting the matter to Empress Wen Lin and Master Wei Sheng, Fang Jian returned to the Yuquan Peak Mountain Temple without stopping.
After returning to the mountain temple, Fang Jian set up an altar in his mountain god's monastery, then lit a stick of sandalwood and worshiped: "Fang Jian, the god of Duanjie Mountain in Xihua Prefecture, pays homage to Master Shi Shi of Taixuandu, the same book .”
A bright fairy light was seen above the altar, and then a fourth-grade immortal official from Wenlin in Taixuan Province, dressed in a green robe and crane patch, appeared in front of Fang Jian.
"Hey? Isn't this Lord Duanjie Shanjun? I haven't seen you for a long time. How are you doing?" This fourth-grade immortal official is Yishan. He was the envoy who delivered the imperial edict to Fang Jian in Yangxia County and also wanted to see the treasure.
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Fortunately, it's just not as easy as when I was doing land."
Yishan said with a smile: "My fellow Taoist, what you said is wrong. As immortal officials in heaven, how can we be greedy for pleasure? We should work conscientiously to cure the affairs of the three realms for your majesty."
Fang Jian said solemnly: "Master Qian Shu said that the lower official has been taught. Is Master very busy now?"
Yishan waved his hand and said: "I'm not busy, I've been wandering around Tianhe these days. Don't mention it, the scene of Xinghan in Tianhe is getting more and more magnificent. The stars are stacked on top of each other, and the sky is brilliant. What are you waiting for, fellow Taoist? When I have time, I will take you here to have a look."
"..." Fang Jian hurriedly clasped his fists and said, "Then I would like to thank Mr. Qianshu, but I actually have something to ask Mr. Qianshu for help here."
"Oh?" Yishan asked, "What is it?"
Fang Jian thought for a while and said, "I wonder if Mr. Qian Shu has some free time to go to Yuquan Peak of Duanjie Mountain in Xiaguan?"
Yishan pondered for a moment on the altar, then nodded and said: "Okay, fellow Taoist, please wait a moment."
After saying that, the fairy light on the altar was instantly extinguished, and Yishan's manifested body also disappeared.
Fang Jian was not surprised, but knew that Yishan was preparing to come to Yuquan Peak.
Being a deity in Heaven has a great advantage, that is, Heaven hangs high in the sky. As long as you come out of Nantianmen, you can go to the four major continents or the ten continents and three islands closest to you.
Unlike the lower realm, no matter how high your cultivation level is, unless you are Hunyuan Wuji Luo Jinxian, you have to obediently travel through mountains and rivers to fly to your destination.
Of course, some gods and goddesses have great supernatural powers, like the Monkey King who has traveled thousands of miles. It only takes less time to travel from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Beiju Luzhou.
After Yishan left Nantianmen, he went straight to Duanjie Mountain in Luzhou and Xihuazhou in Beijulu.
It is apparently not allowed for immortal officials from Heaven to go down to the lower realms privately, but in fact it is not that strict. As long as nothing happens, everyone will turn a blind eye.
When Yishan rode the cloud light and landed on Yuquan Peak, Fang Jian hurriedly came out to greet him.
"I'm here to pay my respects to Mr. Tong Qianshu. It's really helpful for Mr. Qianshu to condescend to come down." Fang Jian bowed his hands and bowed.
Yishan laughed loudly, stepped forward to help Fang Jian up and said, "Why do you say this, fellow Taoist? I am a free and easy man, and I never care about the worldly etiquette. Come on, let's go in and talk."
After saying that, the two of them entered the mountain temple and sat down. After Yishan took his seat, he glanced at Fang Jian and said in surprise: "Huh? Fellow Taoist has already reached the Void Refining Realm? It's progressing so fast, miss me. I have been an immortal official for more than five hundred years, but I am still only at the Nascent Soul Realm. My Taoist disciple really has a bright future."
Yishan was very emotional, and he also saw great potential in Fang Jian, and he was more willing to make friends with him.
Although he was two levels higher than Fang Jian, Yishan did not put on the pretense of being a Shangguan at all, and instead made friends as fellow Taoists.
Fang Jian waved his hand and said modestly: "It's just that I made some achievements and was rewarded with Fahua Pills by Empress Wenlin, and that's why I have today's Taoist practice."
"Fahua Pill?" Yishan said after hearing this: "No wonder, this pill is a top-grade elixir. It takes 200 merits to exchange for one in heaven."
Fang Jian was also a little surprised when he heard this, "Exchange for merit?"
Yishan nodded and smiled: "Yes, you didn't expect that our merits can actually be traded."
Fang Jian was stunned for a long time before he realized that he really didn't expect this.
Just listen to Yishan say: "The merit trade was established by His Majesty after he submitted to Heaven 60 million years ago, but it is only limited to immortal officials and people who have become immortals. Immortal officials have the 'Immortal Official Jade Disk'. The official seal of an official is, on the one hand, the continuation of merit and the power of incense, and at the same time, it is also a medium for trading merit. Regardless of whether it is a human or a demon, as long as one attains the Tao and becomes an immortal, Heaven will bestow the "Immortal Urn Golden Medal", and this thing will It is a 'certificate of immortality' and can also store merit and transaction merit."
"But except for immortal officials and below, as long as they have not become immortals, they cannot conduct merit transactions, and they will still have to barter." After Yishan said this, he added another sentence: "And the immortal officials of heaven and the immortals of the three realms have the most transactions. The place is on the 'Four Heavenly Streets' of 'Tianhefang'."
Fang Jian was surprised when he heard this: "Four Heavenly Streets?"
Yishan nodded and introduced: "The four heavenly streets are established in Tianhefang, and Tianhefang is above Tianhe. There are four heavenly streets in Tianhefang, namely Penglai Tianjie and Yaochi. Heavenly Street', 'Zhongnan Heavenly Street' and 'Xumi Heavenly Street'. When you called me just now, I was wandering in Penglai Heavenly Street."
"Everything is available on the four heavenly streets. For example, the Queen Mother of the West's flat peaches are often sold on Yaochi Tianjie, Laojun's magical treasures are for sale on Zhongnan Tianjie, and the seals of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas are for sale on Xumitian Street. Of course, the merits of us petty officials We can't afford it." At this point, Yishan couldn't help but sigh.
Fang Jian smiled slightly, then took out a huge crimson scale from the storage bag and said, "Lord Qian Shu, how much is this thing worth?"
Yishan couldn't help but sit up straight after hearing this, and then looked carefully at the red scales in Fang Jian's hand. When he was young, he raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "This is... the scales of the fire dragon? No, the scales spilled from above. Judging from his energy, at least they are the scales of the Ten Thousand Years Fire Dragon!"
Fang Jian smiled and said: "Lord Qian Shu has a good eye. This thing is the scale that fell off from the demon master of Liejiao Cave, King Liejiao of Blazing Mountain Demon Mansion."
Yishan's eyes suddenly widened, and he looked at the scale in Fang Jian's hand and said: "If this thing is made into scale armor, its defensive power will not be inferior to the body-protecting aura of a monk in the Yangshen Realm! If it is exchanged for merit, one piece is worth at least one All merits!"
Fang Jian laughed, and then took out six identical fire dragon scales from the storage bag.
Yishan couldn't sit still at this moment and stood up directly. He came to Fang Jian in a flash, looked at the six fire dragon scales and said: "Good guy, so many? You won't copy the Blazing Mountain Demon Mansion." Really? As expected, it was three years of pure prefecture and a hundred thousand snowflakes of silver. As a fool, I have long said that I would be an immortal official, but they insist on me serving in Taixuandu Province! "
Fang Jian laughed and said: "Copying the demon mansion of a true immortal demon master, I, Fang Jian, am not that capable. This is the apology from the Lie Jiao King."
When Yishan heard this, he looked at Fang Jian with burning eyes and said, "My fellow Taoist came to me, is it just to deal with these fire dragon scales?"
Fang Jian nodded, but then shook his head, then picked up a ten-thousand-year-old fire dragon scale and said, "This piece is my official's wish. Please accept it, Mr. Qian Shu."
Yishan's breath stagnated, and then he reached out to take the scale, only to feel that it was warm and hard. Then he looked at Fang Jian and said with a smile: "I have long said that Taoist friends are worth making friends with. It seems that my taste is really good. "As he said that, he put the Ten Thousand Years Fire Dragon Scale into his storage bag, and then asked: "Tell me, if you need anything, fellow Taoist, just say it. As long as I can do it, I will never refuse."
Fang Jian said: "Actually, it's nothing. I just want Master Qian Shu to help me deliver something to an old friend in Dongsheng China. Master Qian Shu also knows that as a mountain god, it is difficult for me to leave Xihua Province."
Yishan nodded when he heard this and said: "I understand, this is easy, I agree. What do you want to give? Who do you want to give it to?"
Fang Jian immediately took out a jade box from the storage bag and said, "There is a fairy grass in it. I would like to ask Mr. Qian Shu to send it to the Qingfeng Cave in Yinrong Mountain, Dingjun Mansion, Zizheng Kingdom, Dongsheng Shenzhou, and give it to someone." A fellow Taoist named 'Cen Biqing' brought me a message."
Yishan took the jade box and after listening to what Fang Jian wanted to bring, he immediately nodded and said, "Okay, leave this matter to me."
"Thank you, Mr. Qian Shu. By the way, Mr. Qian Shu, I have these five thousand-year-old fire dragon scales left. I want to exchange them for some merit. I wonder if you would like 6,000 merits per piece?" Fang Jian asked with a smile.
When Yishan heard this, he didn't know that Fang Jian was trying to befriend him. Fang Jian sold the scales to him for 6,000 merits, which were originally valued at 10,000 merits. This was a huge advantage for him.
"Is this... taking too much advantage of you?" Yishan said a little embarrassedly.
Fang Jian said with a smile: "Where the wealth does not flow to outsiders, fellow Taoist Yishan, don't be polite."
Fang Jian had always been called 'Sir' before, but now he was called 'Fellow Daoist'. The meaning couldn't be more obvious.
Yishan immediately clapped his hands and said: "Okay, I'll call you 'fellow Taoist', I accept this love, I want it, I want all five of them."
In a short time, Fang Jian's Immortal Official Jade Plate had thirty thousand more merits, and Yishan was also smiling.
After the transaction was completed, Yishan did not stay long and returned to heaven with Fang Jian's entrustment and six thousand-year fire dragon scales.
Fang Jian looked at the direction Yishan left with a smile on his face. In his storage bag, there were still nine thousand-year fire dragon scales lying quietly. He kept these nine for other uses, so he didn't take them out.
And now that he has 30,000 merits, Fang Jian is extremely happy, "Xiao Hong, all 30,000 merits can be exchanged for Hongmeng Dao Qi."
In just an instant, the 30,000 merits that had just been obtained disappeared without a trace from the Immortal Official Jade Disk, and on the information bar of the Hongmeng Editor, there were 300 more strands of Hongmeng Dao Qi, plus the remaining ones from before. 2 strands, a total of 302 strands.
I suddenly became rich overnight. I exclaimed with joy and thanked King Lie Jiao for the apology to Bodhisattva!
...
In Lingshan, in the Daleiyin Temple where the Buddha's light shone brightly, the Tathagata Buddha who was giving a lecture suddenly paused.
Then he continued to preach as if nothing had happened, and the surrounding Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, Arhats, and Jialan did not notice anything strange.
Only Guanyin Bodhisattva on the side thought to himself: "This person is really an example of disrespecting our Buddha. How can we ever have any 'apologising' Bodhisattva in our Buddhist sect?"
Moreover, the Liejiao King is only a true immortal demon cultivator, so what qualifications do he have to be my Buddhist Bodhisattva?
However, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva was compassionate and quickly put the matter aside and listened attentively to the Buddha's sermons.
