The wind chimes are lingering and the time is fleeting. Fang Jian seems to have had a long, long dream. In the dream, he and Yu Luan traveled around the world in all directions, and finally he became the Great Luo Golden Immortal.
But just when he attained Daluo Jinxian and was about to leave seclusion to meet Yuluan, he woke up from the dream.
The sound of wind chimes in his ears became clearer and clearer, and wisps of tranquil orchids floated beside him. Fang Jian stared blankly at the dome of the cloud room. At this moment, he was only filled with melancholy and loneliness, as well as regrets that were difficult to dispel.
"Suddenly, the wind chime frightened my dream, and I became even more confused when I woke up."
Fang Jian closed his eyes again. He wanted to continue falling asleep. In his dream, he achieved Daluo Jinxian, and Yuluan was waiting for news of his success outside his cave.
But this time no matter how hard he closed his eyes, he still couldn't fall asleep. Fang Jian was very irritated. He suddenly sat up from the jade couch, turned around and called outside: "Hei Boy."
But Hei Haier didn't appear, or even responded. Fang Jian looked outside the hall strangely, and he saw that familiar figure.
"Yu Luan?" Fang Jian's eyes lit up, he immediately stood up from the jade couch and walked quickly towards the figure.
However, when the figure turned around, Fang Jian's face froze, his steps suddenly stagnated, and then he stood there blankly.
Jiutian Xuannv looked at Fang Jian with clear eyes, then opened her mouth slightly and said: "If you don't know how to drink, don't drink so much."
Fang Jian immediately bowed his head and said, "Great Emperor."
Jiutian Xuannv nodded, looked at Fang Jian and said, "I heard Hei Hai'er said you were drunk, so I came here to take a look."
Fang Jian bowed his hands and said, "I thank you for your concern."
Jiutian Xuannv nodded slightly, and then said to Fang Jian: "You just woke up, have a good rest, come to Xuanyang Palace to see me tomorrow, there is a very important thing in heaven, and only you can do it."
Fang Jian was stunned for a moment. For the first time in his life, he did not accept the order immediately. However, he looked at Jiutian Xuannv and hesitated for a moment before saying: "Great Emperor, I want to be included in the list of gods and become a god."
"What?" Jiutian Xuannv looked at Fang Jian in surprise.
Fang Jian mustered up his courage and said again this time: "I want to be on the list of gods and become a ruthless and desireless god."
Jiutian Xuannv's face instantly became extremely serious. She walked up to Fang Jian, then looked down at Fang Jian slightly and said, "Because of Yu Luan?"
Fang Jian's face was hesitant and melancholy. After a while, Fang Zheng said seductively: "Yes, the Great Emperor."
Jiutian Xuannv looked at Fang Jian and said, "Yuluan is me!"
"But you are not Yuluan." Fang Jian looked at Jiutian Xuannv and said: "You are the Holy Mother Juntian of Jiutian Xuanyang Yuanv."
Jiutian Xuannv laughed. She looked at Fang Jian and said, "Yuluan was transformed by me, and all her memories of you came from me." At this point, Jiutian Xuannv stretched out her hands to caress Fang Jian's cheek, "If it weren't for me, would she be devoted to you? Have you ever thought about this? Have you ever thought about me?"
After saying that, Jiutian Xuannv arranged Fang Jian's scattered hair and crown, and arranged his clothes. Finally, she took a deep look at Fang Jian, then turned around resolutely and walked out of Fang Jian's cloud room.
"Long-term love between children cannot achieve great things."
"Come to Xuanyang Palace to meet me tomorrow." The moment she walked out of the Cloud Room, Jiutian Xuannv's demeanor suddenly changed, and she became the majestic Jiutian Xuannv great emperor again.
As Jiutian Xuannv left, Hei Haier finally appeared in front of Fang Jian.
"Master, are you awake?" Hei Haier asked looking at Fang Jian who was in a daze.
Fang Jian came back to his senses, looked away from the direction where Jiutian Xuannv left, then collected his emotions, looked at Hei Haier and asked, "How long have I been sleeping?"
Hei Hai'er said: "Sir, it's exactly one month."
"So long?" Fang Jian was stunned again, and then asked: "Then when did Emperor Juntian come?"
Hei Hai'er blinked and said, "When did Emperor Juntian come? Has she been here all along?"
Fang Jian was stunned and asked after a long time: "Always here? What do you mean?"
Hei Hai'er immediately told Fang Jian about the situation of Fang Jian being sent back after being drunk. After hearing this, Fang Jian suddenly said in disbelief: "You mean, Juntian Emperor took care of me here for a month?"
"Yes, we will never leave you." Hei Hai'er said, "Master, Juntian the Great Emperor is closer to you than his own mother."
When Fang Jian heard this, he immediately couldn't laugh or cry. He raised his hand and slapped Hei Hai'er on the head and said, "Don't talk nonsense."
"Yes, yes, yes." Hei Hai'er quickly stuck out his tongue. Only now did he remember that his master's 'mother' had a greater background. He hoped that she would be a grown-up and would not be as knowledgeable as a child like him.
Fang Jian walked out of Taisu Palace with his hands behind his hands. He couldn't get over the emotion of Yu Luan's departure yet, so he just wandered around aimlessly.
Unknowingly, Fang Jian came to a place he had never been before. This place was full of peach trees and the peach blossoms were in full bloom, dazzling and shining.
Fang Jian looked at the beautiful peach blossoms in front of him and was fascinated for a moment. He stood in the peach blossom forest and admired the beautiful peach blossoms in front of him.
After a while, a breeze blew by, and countless pink peach blossoms were dancing all over the sky in the breeze.
At this moment, a voice suddenly came from the peach forest ahead: "The peaches are blooming, and their flowers are shining brightly. When my son returns, he will be suitable for his family."
Fang Jian was awakened by the sound. He quickly looked forward and saw a fat monk wearing cassocks walking in the peach forest, chanting the poem "Taoyao".
Fang Jian looked at the fat monk who seemed familiar, so he walked forward quickly, but when he saw the fat monk clearly, he was surprised, "Buddha from the east?"
The fat monk turned around with a smile, and he was indeed the current Buddha of Buddhism, the Buddha from the East.
When Sakyamuni was alive, the Buddha who came from the east was the 'future Buddha'. But since Sakyamuni has passed away, 'the future has come', so the Buddha who came from the east is the 'present Buddha'.
"Oh? Emperor Hongqing?" Donglai Buddha walked over with a smile, "How come Emperor Hongqing has time to come to this 'Peach Blossom Slope'?"
"Taohua Slope?" Fang Jian was startled when he heard the name, "This is Yuelao's dojo, Taohua Slope?"
"Exactly." Buddha from the East nodded and smiled: "Look, what are these peach trees?"
Fang Jian looked along the direction of Donglai Buddha's finger, and saw many red silk threads hanging on each peach blossom tree in the endless peach blossom forest.
"These are red lines?" Fang Jian said.
Buddha from the East said: "Yes, these are the red lines. Look, I am looking for them."
Fang Jian looked at the red thread in Donglai Buddha's hand in surprise, and asked doubtfully: "What is Donglai Buddha looking for?"
Buddha came from the east and said, "I'm looking for marriage."
Fang Jian asked: "Whose marriage?"
Buddha from the east said: "Mine."
Fang Jian was shocked and asked: "The Buddha also has a marriage?"
Buddha came from the east and said with a smile: "Can't Buddha have a marriage?"
Fang Jian was speechless and just said in confusion: "Then has the Buddha been found?"
"No." Donglai Buddha shook his head and said, "I've looked around three times and still can't find it."
Fang Jian said: "If you can't find it, that means there is no marriage, right?"
Buddha from the East laughed loudly and said: "Emperor Hongqing, who said that marriage must be on this red thread? Marriage is not only on the red thread, it is more likely to be in the heart."
"In your heart?" Fang Jian asked in confusion: "What's the explanation?"
Buddha from the East said: "Look at these red threads. After Yue Lao pulled them for them, they had to tie them. This means that the couple was married. But decades later, Yue Lao had to untie them again."
"Why?" Fang Jian asked.
The Buddha from the East said: "How can things in this world last forever? Heaven and earth are subject to change, not to mention marriage?"
"So." Donglai Buddha reached out and patted Fang Jian's chest, "Only what is in your heart is eternal. At least in the infinite time of your existence, she is eternal."
"When she exists in this world, she is only in your eyes, and it is temporary. When she does not exist in this world, she is in your heart, and is eternal."
"All appearances are false. All conditioned phenomena are like bubbles in a dream, like dew or lightning, and should be viewed as such."
After Fang Jian listened to Donglai Buddha's words, his whole body trembled and he suddenly understood.
After all, Yuluan is just the incarnation of the Great Dao of Jiutian Xuannv. She can never help herself. So what if Jiutian Xuannv doesn't take her back? Her status as the 'Incarnation of the Great Dao' destined her to be impossible to replace the Nine Heavens Xuannv.
When Fang Jian, Jiutian Xuannv, and Yu Luan are together, who will be embarrassed? Only Yuluan is always just an incarnation, and she is not at ease.
Yuluan's emotional memory came from Jiutian Xuannv, and now it belongs to Jiutian Xuannv. Every time she comes and returns, it is equivalent to Yuluan never existing.
But now Yuluan is deeply rooted in Fang Jian's heart. This is the proof of her existence. If Yuluan exists forever in this world, that would be the real "illusion". On the contrary, it is now that Yuluan is truly eternal.
Fang Jian let out a long sigh, and the melancholy in his heart instantly dissipated. Although Fang Jian still had regrets in his heart, he was relieved.
Although the knot in his heart was relieved, Fang Jian still said a little harshly: "This is too idealistic, I don't agree!"
Buddha from the East: "...???" Such a big Buddha is standing in front of you, and he is still in heaven. You tell me that I am too idealistic?
"Buddha, are you here to enlighten me?" Fang Jian looked at Donglai Buddha and asked.
Buddha from the East laughed, then looked at Fang Jian and said, "Everything has its destiny."
Fang Jian felt much better now, so he also joked: "Destiny? The Buddha from the East wouldn't say that I, Fang Jian, have a destiny with Buddhism, right?"
"That's not necessarily the case. If Emperor Hongqing is willing to come to Buddhism, he will sit on the lotus platform on the Lingshan Mountain." Donglai Buddha said with a smile.
Fang Jian said: "Oh? What kind of attainment would the Buddha from the East be willing to give me?"
The Buddha from the East smiled and said, "How about Generous Tathagata Buddha?"
Fang Jian: "."
"No need to worry, heaven is still suitable for me." Fang Jian quickly waved his hands and then bowed to the Buddha from the East and said, "Thank you very much, Buddha from the East for your enlightenment."
Buddha from the East shook his head, and then asked Fang Jian, "This poor monk also has something to ask of Emperor Hongqing."
Fang Jian looked slightly surprised when he heard this and said, "Oh? What's the big deal? I bothered the Buddha who came from the east to come to heaven in person?"
Buddha from the East said: "That's right, my Buddhist disciple is about to enter the world in the near future and work with the Taoist sect to wipe out the evil god of chaos. Therefore, I would like to customize a batch of standard magical instruments from Emperor Hongqing for daily use by my Buddhist disciples."
"Standard magic weapon?" Fang Jian heard this. This is what Tianting is best at. He immediately smiled and said: "This is easy to handle. I will issue an edict and order Tiangongyuan to contact Buddhism to refine it."
Buddha from the East shook his head and said: "Tiangongyuan cannot make this magical weapon. Only Emperor Hongqing can make it here."
"I'm here." Fang Jian suddenly raised his head, looked at Donglai Buddha and said, "That's not what the Buddha said."
Buddha from the East nodded and said: "Of course, there are two types of custom-made magical instruments that the poor monk wants to customize: one is the 'Huaguang Zen Staff' and the other is the 'Taixiao Rosary'."
Fang Jian understood. He looked at Donglai Buddha with deep eyes and said, "If I understand correctly, Donglai Buddha, you want to use the Huaguang Baogun as the basis for the Zen staff and the Taixiao Thunder Bead String." A perfect rosary, right?”
The Buddha from the East clasped his hands and said, "Good, good, good."
Then he nodded very simply and said: "Yes."
However, is this thing a magic weapon for 'daily' use? ? ?
