At this moment, Tang Sanzang was extremely horrified!
Because what is enshrined in the main hall of Wuzhuangguan is neither the Three Pure Ones nor the Four Emperors, nor Jiu Yao Yuan Chen, but a goddess!
I saw this goddess with long hair flying and wearing a blood-red robe.
She nodded slightly to look down at the surrounding environment, her face as cold and arrogant as frost.
And inside and outside the body of the statue, there were faint disturbances of red dust, covering the entire hall with a layer of red haze.
Although it is just a statue of a god, the appearance, manner and even the temperament of the statue are exactly the same as that of his former mortal friend!
the other side! …
A name subconsciously came out of Tang Sanzang's heart.
Yes, the statue of this god is none other than his old friend in the real world - the other side!
When he recovered the inheritance of the past nine generations at Liusha River, Tang Sanzang discovered the figure of the other side in the memory of each life.
Later, when passing by Mojiazhuang, I saw Lishan's mother in her silver mirror.
Now that I have entered the Wuzhuang Temple and arrived at the territory of the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, I was shocked to find that the statue enshrined in the Zhenyuan Great Immortal Taoist Temple was actually the statue of the other side!
This... this is too absurd! ?
Why does this woman who shouldn't exist in this world appear again and again in front of him?
Now it even appears in front of him in the form of a god statue! ?
Could it be that she is not a mortal who exists in reality, but a supreme god who can make even the ancestors of earthly immortals worship her! ?
Countless shocks and confusions instantly surged into Tang Sanzang's heart.
After examining the statue for a long time, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi aside with a horrified expression, only to find that Zhen Yuanzi was looking at him with a meaningful expression.
"Holy Monk, does the immortal enshrined in our temple seem familiar to you and reminds you of an old friend from the world of mortals?"
Zhen Yuanzi spoke, as if his reaction to the former was already expected.
Tang Sanzang shook his head to calm down the myriad of distracting thoughts in his heart.
Then he pretended to be calm and asked, "May I ask the great immortal, who is this statue enshrined in Guiguan?"
"Why does the holy monk need to ask questions here knowing that he knows?"
Zhen Yuanzi smiled indifferently, "Of course she is Empress Bian'an, and she is also your old friend in the mortal world for the past five hundred years!"
the other side! Old friends in the world of mortals!
Although he had expected it, after Zhen Yuanzi said it, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel a little thump in his heart.
According to his meaning, that is to say, the other side is a person who really exists in this world.
He is even a supreme god whose status is far above Zhenyuan Immortal!
"Can the Great Immortal tell me what kind of existence the other side is?"
With this thought, Tang Sanzang asked again urgently.
"Pindao is the ancestor of earthly immortals. He neither respects heaven nor Buddhism. He is worthy of being on an equal footing with the Three Pure Ones! The one who is qualified for me to worship is naturally the Emperor of Heaven who is as good as the Jade Emperor!"
In response, Zhen Yuanzi responded.
But just when he was about to continue talking, he suddenly noticed something was wrong, and then looked at Tang Sanzang with a hint of strangeness.
"By the way, Holy Monk, do you really not know the specific identity of the Queen on the other side? Or rather, she has never come to look for you in this life?"
Tang Sanzang nodded, then shook his head, "Perhaps I have seen her before, but she only told me her name, but did not mention her past and present life."
"So, the empress is deliberately concealing her identity and not telling you about it."
After hearing this, Zhen Yuanzi also felt a little embarrassed, "In this case, if I informed you in advance, I'm afraid it would go against her wishes, and she might even suffer some unnecessary consequences."
"So I hope that the holy monk will forgive me. It is inconvenient for me to reveal too much information about her."
…
Seeing Zhen Yuanzi's words coming to his lips and then swallowing them, Tang Sanzang suddenly felt like a mute who was suffering from the pain of eating Coptis chinensis.
But after all, he also expressed his difficulties. Although Tang Sanzang complained about it, he couldn't say more.
Who is the other side, what role does she play in the Three Realms, and what impact will it have on her future journey to the west...
All kinds of confusions flooded into Tang Sanzang's mind again, making him feel even more tormented.
"It's just that, although I can't say much about the identity of the empress, I can still mention some things!"
Seeing that Tang Sanzang was deep in thought and silent, Zhen Yuanzi suddenly added, "Holy Monk, the Queen of the Other Shore has actually always been in the world. As long as you keep going west, I believe you will meet her in the not-too-distant future. "
"And the reason why I was able to meet and become close friends with your previous life Jin Chanzi five hundred years ago is because of the help of the empress!"
The other side has always been in the world...
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang frowned slightly.
"Tang Sanzang, I will wait for you on the road to the west. In this life... you will never escape my grasp again!"
At this moment, he couldn't help but think of the figure he saw in the silver mirror and what she said to him.
Could it be that the other shore is really waiting for me on the road to the west?
And what is her purpose in waiting for me? Once I meet her, will it be a blessing or a curse?
Tang Sanzang's thoughts were still as messy as before.
"Since the death of Emperor Xin, the empress has been hidden in the world for more than 1,600 years. Today, few people in the Three Realms know her identity."
"Unless it is absolutely necessary, I hope that the holy monk will not mention the relationship between you and her, let alone reveal that there is a statue of her in the Taoist temple. Otherwise, you, me, and even the empress will suffer endless consequences. Disaster!"
At this time, Zhen Yuanzi warned again.
It seems that the position of the Other Shore in the Three Realms is not so positive.
As his old friend in the mortal world, Tang Sanzang was naturally closer to the other side than to the gods, Buddhas and even the human emperor Li Shimin.
Although he never knew her true identity in Lushan, he never wanted her to suffer unreasonable changes because of him.
"Thank you, Immortal, for reminding me that this poor monk will be careful in his words and deeds."
With this thought, Tang Sanzang responded like this.
"But, I'm afraid it's too late."
However, when Zhen Yuanzi counted with his fingers, his expression suddenly changed.
He seemed to sense something and subconsciously looked towards the south of the human world.
His eyes passed through the main hall with a tight magic circle, passed through Longevity Mountain, passed through layers of dense forests, and crossed the vast world.
Finally, he fell into Luojia Mountain and beside the lotus pond in the Purple Bamboo Forest, looking at Guanyin Bodhisattva who was also looking sideways towards Wuzhuang Temple.
"Who is this holy person who actually invades this deity's Taoist mansion with his thoughts?"
However, when Zhen Yuanzi looked at it, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva immediately sensed it, and then nodded slightly and looked at the place where the thoughts flowed!
