Although Qingfeng still looks like a boy, he is actually a Taoist master who has practiced with Zhenyuan for more than a thousand years. However, they have followed Zhenyuan since childhood and guarded Yuanyang, so they have never been involved in love affairs.
But now seeing the Third Prince being so "heartless", Lianxiang Xiyu aroused a little curiosity in his heart.
But after taking a closer look, I realized that the Third Prince didn't seem completely indifferent.
"But what can I do?" The third prince sighed and said, "It's not that I provoked them on purpose. What I can do is to tell them my attitude simply and neatly. As the saying goes, long-term pain is worse than short-term pain. In short, We can't let them hang on me all the time, this is an unrealistic idea."
Qingfeng seemed to understand after listening, but suddenly thought of another level, "Third Prince, is it possible that it is because you have never been able to get married that you gave them some hope. After all, men are unmarried and women are unmarried. Gentleman You can ask for a fair lady, but when a woman meets a beloved man like the Third Prince, she must take the initiative to seize the opportunity."
"What you said makes sense." Xiao Bailong deeply agreed with Qingfeng's words, "But it is impossible to get married. I will ask Master to ordain me some other day and officially become a monk."
"Ha" Qingfeng laughed sarcastically after hearing this, "Third Prince, I didn't mean to do that. I'm not saying whether Master Sanzang will ordain you, but what will happen even if you do? It's you who became a monk, not them. Really? Besides, the ladies of the Tang Dynasty never tabooed these things, right?"
Xiao Bailong's expression suddenly condensed, this matter was really troublesome.
Naturally, he would not doubt Qingfeng's words. After all, as the master of the Holy Buddha of the Three Realms, he was also quite disturbed by it.
In fact, practitioners of Taoism and Xuanmen do not taboo things between men and women, otherwise there would be no such thing as a couple of gods and immortals. But most real people with advanced cultivation, in addition to being consistent in their purity of mind, have another reason. It's hard to meet someone who makes your heart beat.
Or, even if you are in love, you can't force the marriage if the other party doesn't intend it.
It's just that compared to ordinary people, they only have a short life span of a hundred years. Getting married, having children, and carrying on the family line is also a responsibility.
Besides, most of the important matters of marriage in the human world are the orders of parents and the words of matchmakers. How many newlyweds can know their significant other before marriage?
But the monks are naturally different. They have long lifespans, and no one will force them in this regard, so they can live a more free and unrestrained life. When they meet the right one, they will form a Taoist couple and travel together in the three realms; if not Then it is also very good to have good luck with love, or to practice in seclusion, or to visit friends in the mountains.
"It's strange to say." Qingfeng touched his chin and looked at the Third Prince up and down for a long time, "Are you really not interested in them?"
"Except for some compassion, there is no other feeling." Xiao Bailong said the truth.
"Compassion? What do you think of this?"
"Well," Xiao Bailong pondered for a while, thinking about the words in his mind, and then explained, "I may not like them, but when I know they like me, especially when I see them being very affectionate, I feel so happy in my heart. I always feel like I owe them something. Maybe I feel guilty for not being able to respond to their love for me."
"So I don't want to hurt them unless I have to." Xiao Bailong thought for a while and sighed: "But when I explicitly rejected them, it was obvious that I had broken their hearts. Maybe this is what makes me always Another reason not to get close to women."
"The third prince has high righteousness!" Qingfeng said in awe, "I hope you can keep it up. Otherwise, if one day, the news comes out in the three realms that you are getting married, I'm afraid it will be a big storm."
Well, for the sake of the stability of the three realms!
After all, the women who fall in love with Xiao Bailong are not good at all. If it becomes "blackened" because of this, it will be a disaster that brings disaster to all parties.
At that time, the person who worked hard for this matter was none other than Xiao Bailong’s brother-in-law, Erlang Zhenjun.
"Amitabha." Xiao Bailong clasped his hands together. Naturally, I would not cause trouble to my brother-in-law at this juncture.
If it were his brother-in-law, Xiao Bailong felt vaguely that if he had caused trouble, he would not be too polite to him. Even if he would not be put in jail for this, Bao Buqi would do something to appease their resentment. What is the most difficult thing to do?
For example, forcing myself to obey them
Miss Gongsun’s matter has come to an end for now.
After Xiao Bailong came back, he found out that it was Princess Longji who was visiting Ci'en Temple. Then he suddenly realized that it was Hongluan Xingjun who had descended to earth, so it was normal for him to meet Miss Gongsun.
This also reminded Xiao Bailong of a past incident on the westward journey. It was just when they crossed the Tongtian River that there were two disaster stars, Sangmen and Diaoke, descending to the lower world, which made him miserable.
As a pioneer in exploring the path, I have gone astray time and time again without realizing it, which is really derelict in my duty.
Fortunately, Master did not blame him for this, but Xiao Bailong himself always felt guilty.
He has always had this temperament. Even when Princess All Saints eloped with the Nine-Headed Insect, Xiao Bailong was angry and wondered if he had done something wrong to make Princess All Saints empathize.
Later, when we were passing through the Flame Mountain, we managed to clean up Bibo Pond and captured Princess Wan Sheng, only to find out that Princess Wan Sheng was greedy because she wanted both.
Marrying herself openly, but secretly still having an affair with Nine-Headed Insect. She was really planning on getting her own way.
Perhaps this is what prompted him to become the White Dragon Bodhisattva that the little monsters call him today.
Previously, a group of monsters asked for help, but this was not even treated by the Great Sage.
At tomorrow's ceremony, most of the guests who are supposed to be present have arrived early. Even if they are not at Ci'en Temple tonight, they are here to meet Master Tripitaka.
Zhen Yuanzi and Lishan Laomu are also old acquaintances, but relatively speaking, they have less contact. Now, taking advantage of the opening ceremony of the Consciousness-Wei Sect, they can also take the opportunity to discuss Taoism.
"Old man, it's been a long time." Immortal Zhenyuan made a bow.
"Hehehehe——" The old man smiled, feeling particularly happy to see his former Taoist friends today, "I don't need to be polite, Immortal. Please sit down."
After Immortal Zhenyuan sat down, he saw a white snake coiled in Lao Mu's hand, so he took a few more glances.
"When I passed by Qingcheng Mountain before, I met this little snake. I thought I was destined to do it, so I kept it by my side." The old man raised his arm slightly, and the white snake turned into a white light and fell to the ground, but it turned into a woman in plain clothes. Maybe it was her. She was raised by Lishan's old mother. After her transformation, she didn't have the usual beauty of a snake demon transformed into a human being. Instead, she was somewhat holy.
More like a fairy than a goblin.
"Disciple Bai Suzhen, pay your respects to the Great Immortal Zhenyuan." Bai Suzhen has been with Mr. Lishan for some time. What Mr. Lishan taught him was not only the method of cultivation, but also the knowledge.
Bai Suzhen naturally knew exactly what kind of person Zhenyuan Immortal was, so I had a chance to meet him in my incarnation.
When an elder meets a younger person, he or she needs to give some greeting gifts.
Of course, not all juniors have this kind of opportunity.
Otherwise, if there were so many disciples of Jiejiao back then, it would probably be difficult for Yuanshi Tianzun, who has a great family and a great business, to meet one by one.
Some good people are also talking in private, saying that when the Sanqing family was separated, it was because Master Tongtian accepted too many disciples that the meeting gift given by Yuanshi Tianzun could not be collected.
As for the Taiqing Saint, his alchemy skills are unique in the three realms, so he is naturally not afraid of not being able to give him a greeting gift.
Those who are familiar with the matter will naturally know that these are nonsense. For example, the meeting gift given to Mr. Lishan was only given to the four major disciples of Jiejiao, not even the seven major inner disciples who were inner disciples.
On the contrary, in addition to the Twelve Golden Immortals, Chanjiao also has the addition of Nanji Xianweng, the senior brother of Chanjiao, and the Fortune Golden Immortal Yun Zhongzi.
But the reason why rumors can spread, whether good or bad, is because they touch people's hearts, isn't it?
"You came out in a hurry." Immortal Zhenyuan first supplemented himself, then took out a branch from his sleeve, waved it twice in his hand, and then looked at Bai Suzhen, "You girl, you may have noticed this. The origin of the object?"
Bai Suzhen knew that Immortal Zhenyuan was testing her. She thought about it carefully, then bowed and said confidently: "I dare to ask Immortal. But the fallen branches of the ginseng fruit tree?"
"Hahahaha——" Immortal Zhenyuan laughed a few times after hearing this and said, "You are very smart."
Bai Suzhen suddenly felt happy.
"But you guessed wrong."
Bai Suzhen was stunned again when she heard this.
"It is said that the dead branch that I took out from Pindao's hand should be the branch of the ginseng fruit tree." Immortal Zhenyuan did not show off, and directly revealed the answer: "This thing is the dead branch of the Qibao tree, not Pindao's." Ginseng fruit branches.”
Ah..this! ?
How could Bai Suzhen think of this section?
I was frightened for a moment and didn't know how to reply.
"How could the Immortal take this thing out?" Compared to Bai Suzhen's surprise, the old man's expression was more serious, "Is there something wrong?"
"Although it was only a cursory look, I could tell that she seemed to have a Buddha calamity in the future." Since Zhenyuan Great Immortal had already taken out his hand, he naturally had his own intentions. Seeing that the old man didn't want to accept it, he asked first. , "I must have brought her to Chang'an to resolve this disaster through Sanzang, right?"
"Exactly."
Lishan Laomu nodded. She would naturally not be unaware of things that Zhenyuan Immortal could see. Just as Zhenyuan Immortal said, Bai Suzhen will have a disaster in the future, and it will come from Buddhism. As for the end of it, it is because of her His cultivation is no longer difficult to spy on.
I originally thought that after traveling to the west, the secret of heaven would become clear, but I didn't expect that it would become increasingly chaotic.
Even the Eight Immortals in Shangdong, who were quite certain before, have begun to become murky and unclear. I don’t know how Laojun and Tianting will plan this matter.
But Lao Mu thinks that with Lao Jun’s temperament, he would probably just ignore it and let nature take its course. After all, for Lao Jun, it doesn’t matter which eight people are the eight immortals in the cave. What’s important is whether they can get enough of these eight. Number of people.
"Then this thing is perfect." Immortal Zhenyuan gave his own explanation at this moment, "Since it is the Buddha's calamity, it is not enough to only see Tripitaka. Although he established the Consciousness Only Sect, it seems to be very powerful now. There is no information yet. The rise and fall of the sect is all due to him. Moreover, his influence is limited to the Tang Dynasty and those countries on the westward journey. If the poor guess is correct, I have already taken her to see Guanyin Bodhisattva. Alright?"
"good."
Lishan Laomu nodded, "She unexpectedly fell in love with Guanyin."
"In this way, there should be no problem with Mahayana Buddhism." Zhenyuan Great Immortal said with a smile: "And based on the relationship between Maharashtra Tathagata and Lao Mu, I am afraid that the tantric monks will only treat her with courtesy when they see her. Then only Theravada Buddhism will be left.”
When Hou Yi shot the sun, the golden crow that escaped ended up hiding in the Wa Palace of Empress Nuwa. It was not until the Battle of the Gods that it returned to the Three Realms as a Sanren of West Kunlun, the spirit of innate Lihuo.
Finally, he joined the Western Sect and became the Great Sun Tathagata to found the secret sect, and competed with the Tathagata Many Treasures for the position of the Lord of the Spiritual Mountain.
However, the Tathagata Many Treasures was superior, so the Great Sun Tathagata trapped himself in the Buddha Mountain and left an incarnation outside. It was for Zen Master Wuchao to escape from Master Sanzang's induction when he passed by the Buddha Mountain.
The Vajra Buddha beads that finally fell into the hands of the Queen of Xiliang were also given to Empress Nuwa by the Great Sun Tathagata, and the old mother of Lishan was originally the incarnation left by Empress Nuwa. This made everything right.
"And this broken branch of the Seven Treasures Tree in the hand of poor Taoist, isn't it the sacred relic of Hinayana Buddhism?" Immortal Zhenyuan seemed to have seen what Lao Mu was thinking, so he took the initiative to explain, "Back then, poor Taoist The Wanshou Mountain was moved from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Xiniu Hezhou to prevent the West from advancing eastward. How could the two leaders of the Western Sect give up? Unfortunately, both Zhunti and Jieyin's real bodies had left the Three Realms at that time, and Lingshan Buddha You When Brada Buddha came to discuss Taoism with the poor Taoist, it was precisely the technique that he left in the poor Taoist sleeve to destroy the world in the poor Taoist sleeve."
"With his temperament, he will naturally not spread such things in the three realms. Therefore, the monks of Hinayana Buddhism should have some respect for this matter and dare not act rashly."
"Since you are so pure, I would not like to thank the immortal for the treasure."
"Oh, yes." Bai Suzhen forced herself to return to her soul, "Thank you, Immortal, for giving me this treasure."
The words of Immortal Zhenyuan and Lao Mu did not avoid Bai Suzhen. At this moment, her mind was still buzzing, and she felt that she suddenly knew too many things. Could she really know it?
Also, great immortal, let alone what will happen in the disciple’s future kalpas, are you sure that if I take over the seven-jeweled tree left by Uparatha Buddha in your sleeve, will it really not cause trouble?
Isn't this the source of the disciple's Buddha calamity?
Bai Suzhen is very smart, otherwise she would not have been favored by Mother Lishan and taken under her wing.
Although it was just a few words, she could also deduce the circumstances under which Upaladha Buddha would break his own magic weapon, the Seven Treasures Tree, in the Qiankun in Zhenyuan's sleeves, leaving stumps behind. .
"What kind of magical weapons do you usually use?" Immortal Zhenyuan asked Bai Suzhen.
"sword."
After hearing this, the Immortal Zhenyuan started practicing the magic formula on the spot and refined the sword on the spot.
