Yamazaki shook his head and told the two to bring the tiger demon back.
When the tiger demon came forward, the little demons immediately surrendered, and there was no need to tie them up. They followed obediently and returned to the Star Courtyard together.
And Yamazaki also lifted the magic of drawing the ground as a prison, allowing the monsters to gather together, and returned the tiger skin to the tiger monster.
With the tiger demon in charge, I really am not afraid that they will escape.
Then Gao Cuilan was named and asked to prepare food for the monsters. Li Jingxun used the ghosts to help them.
Dig a fire pit, build a stove, and help make noodles.
There are four stoves, just make scallion pancakes, so you don’t have to use dishes and chopsticks, the monsters can just take them.
It was Yuan Xing who led the battle, and Zhu Bajie, who felt sorry for his wife, also came out to help make the cakes. After all, this was equivalent to food for thousands of people, and Gao Cuilan had no skills and was a weak woman.
The tiger demon organizes the monsters to collect firewood and maintain order. If any little monster dares to cause mischief, the tiger's face will scare them into weakness.
When Hu Wei said it, it was true and not false.
…
It was busy until the afternoon, and amid the aroma of scallion pancakes, a visitor arrived.
Mother Lishan and her female apprentice Li Hua, one is a simple old woman in plain clothes and leaning on a cane, and the other is a swordswoman in smart clothes, with a heroic appearance.
Zhu Bajie glanced secretly, his eyes widened, and then he was spotted by Gao Cuilan, who pinched his ears before turning back.
…
Yamazaki went out to greet the guests, and the two sides bowed their hands as a courtesy, assuming that they were on equal terms.
This time, Mother Lishan brought Sun Monkey's eye medicine, Xiao Bailong's wound medicine, and a method to subdue the Great Sage Huangfeng.
Here, Lishan's mother accompanied Li Hua to apply eye drops to the monkey, and Shaoyao also treated Xiao Bailong's wounds.
Lishan's mother then accompanied Li Hua to cast spells and apply medicine on the little white dragon. The medicine was used until the wound healed, and the medicine was not too much or too little, just enough to use up.
Xiao Bailong recovered his body and bowed to Old Mother Lishan, saying, "Thank you very much, Old Mother Lishan and the fairy for your healing grace."
"This is cause and effect." Lishan's old mother made a false promise and did not let him worship. If he worshiped, he would have less merit.
Li Hua responded cleverly, "I don't dare, the little girl has not yet become an immortal, so the master will take her to accumulate merit."
Mother Lishan smiled and said, "If you want to say thank you, I'd better thank everyone in this yard first."
"No need to thank you," Yamazaki said bluntly, "Although your suffering is caused by your absence from Xuan Yan, the pain of being cut into pieces by a thousand cuts is probably related to Li Yingqiong's Western Sea Demon Slayer."
"Her blessings are boundless, she only takes merit, and her cause and effect is taken away by evil virtues."
"Monkey Sun's luck is not bad, at least he has a Hunyuan Golden Body."
"You are out of luck. The full effect will be retribution to you, or the retribution will be in this world. It will only take one day."
"The cause and effect on our side is confusing and entangled. We will bear Li Yingqiong's trouble together. Saving you is also for merit, so you don't have to say thank you."
Xiao Bailong cupped his hand and said, "No matter what, I will bear in mind my life-saving grace and healing virtue."
Yamazaki nodded, "That's okay, after all, the cause and effect is there."
Mother Lishan asked: "I am curious and want to ask, is it necessary to calculate it so clearly?"
"It's better to be clear about the way of cause and effect," Yamazaki hesitated, and then said frankly, "My Taoist friends are highly respected, so I'd better make a good relationship with you."
"Please speak, I am listening."
Yamazaki considered it and said: "I heard that Taoist Taoist has accepted several disciples. Taoist Taoist should know Qingcheng Zhenren Li. He has formed many karma because of his apprentices."
"It's not that it's not good to accept a disciple, it's just that due to cause and effect, both parties have been delayed."
"Ha," Mother Lishan asked with a smile, "What do you think of my apprentice?"
Yamazaki shook his head, "I'm not good at calculating. If I want to take a test, I have to give you accurate information."
Old Mother Lishan smiled and said: "In her previous life, this girl was a beautiful girl sitting in front of the Queen Mother. Just because she had a friendship with a golden boy, they were both punished by the Queen Mother and suffered tribulations in the mortal world."
Yamazaki nodded, "This is a very good thing. Since we have love, we should go down to earth and go through the tribulations. When the tribulations are completed, we should become immortals, and we should break up."
Mother Lishan was surprised, "Oh, fellow Taoist, you don't think the Queen Mother's punishment is too severe?"
Yamazaki shook his head, "The golden boy and the beautiful girl are not ignorant teenagers. They know the rules and regulations of heaven. Although the love affair cannot be controlled, it is still done knowingly."
"As a person in front of the Queen Mother, if you act like this, the Queen Mother will bear the brunt of it. People will not think that the golden boy and the beautiful girl are at fault. They will only see that the Queen Mother is not good at her subordinates and neglects to discipline, so they give the golden boy and the beautiful girl a chance."
"The appearance of the golden boy and the beautiful girl is not what the Queen Mother wants, but what the heavenly court's etiquette and rituals stipulate."
"If this is a small matter, it's a joke; if it's a big case, the Queen Mother can be held accountable for her dereliction of duty."
"If there is an unstable dynasty in the mortal world, powerful ministers may even appoint people to participate in the performance, saying that the queen is incompetent to manage the palace, and eventually she is pulled from the throne and thrown into the cold palace."
"So, the Queen Mother did not directly kill them, but just punished them to go down to earth and endure calamities according to heaven's rules. She was sympathetic to their hard work and showed mercy."
Li Hua was silent, most of the resentment in her heart dissipated.
Mother Lishan nodded, turned to Yamazaki and smiled: "Fellow Taoist is extremely wise, please give me some pointers."
Yamazaki smiled bitterly, "I dare to ask my friend, why did you accept her as your disciple? Is the fate deep enough?"
Mother Lishan was surprised, "What do you mean by this?"
Yamazaki sighed: "I think she is no longer a beautiful girl. If my guess is correct, this golden boy and beautiful girl must have gone through many tribulations in the world, and finally became husband and wife, with children and a daughter."
"Indeed."
"Looking at his aura, he is outstanding in martial arts, especially compared to men. He must have led large armies and been on the battlefield."
"Indeed."
"However, most affairs in this world are dominated by men outside and women at home. If a woman wants to command an army, she must be born into a princely family, and she must have no one available in the family."
Lishan's old mother considered it and said, "This matter is a bit complicated. Her husband and father-in-law are both generals in the Li family's imperial army. Her father-in-law cultivated the Yuan Shen, but her husband didn't know it and accidentally scattered the Yuan Shen, causing her father to die in vain."
Yamazaki pondered, "So there is still something like this, but what I'm talking about is that she must have joined a Taoist friend before and learned a certain skill."
"Indeed."
"Fellow Taoist has more causes and effects, directly involving countless soldiers on the battlefield, changes in the situation in the Li family dynasty, and even the world."
Mother Lishan nodded, "This is her fate, and it is also my fate. To be honest, I am also in the fate now, and my calculations are not good, so I want to ask fellow Taoist for advice."
"So, I asked you just now, how close is the relationship between Taoist fellow Taoist and her?"
"Naturally deep."
"Then, with the merits of fellow Taoists, there is no need to worry about this matter."
"how do I say this?"
"There are too many causes and effects for this woman. If she doesn't have great merits in this life, I'm afraid it will be difficult to become an immortal immediately. Instead, she may transform into a heavenly being after death. Then she can practice with her Taoist friends and accumulate merits again."
Li Hua couldn't help but ask: "May I ask, sir, how great is Tian Da's merit?"
…
