Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 225 The Trail of the God of Wealth, and the Astonishment of the Buddha Wutian

After Zhang Tian's 'shaky hand', a tragic love affair was born in the human world. The Old Man of the Moon twitched his eyelids and refused to stay any longer, making up an excuse to run away in an instant.

The green ox, quite curious, tilted its head and looked at Zhang Tiandao, "Hey, what kind of wicked idea are you up to, kid?"

"No way!"

Zhang Tian didn't admit it at all, his expression didn't change at all, as if what he said was true. After all, people are most patient and shameless when they are doing bad things.

The blue ox chuckled.

They didn't ask any further questions.

Instead, he lay there leisurely, and unusually, he began to worry about the pilgrims. "When I, Old Niu, was the Demon King of Jindu Mountain, I was chatting with the local earth god. That old man mentioned something: a demon has come near the Women's Kingdom. It's a very powerful scorpion demon!"

The blue ox is a restless creature.

Although he enjoyed the freedom of life, he had no one to talk to, so he was extremely bored. He found a few local landowners to sit around a table with, and since those landowners were quite well-informed, they brought up the matter.

The green ox thought Zhang Tian didn't know, and spoke of what it thought was a secret, "That was a very powerful scorpion demon who secretly went up Mount Ling to steal Buddhist teachings, but was discovered by Buddha."

"The Buddha wanted to subdue her, but she used her supernatural powers to sting him. How cruel!"

Upon hearing the name of the Scorpion Demon, Zhang Tian paused his work. She was a legend in the Journey to the West world, the only one who had injured the Buddha during his four interventions.

The remaining three are all famous figures: the Monkey King, the Six-Eared Macaque, and the Golden-Winged Roc.

Although it was because the other party lacked martial ethics and ambushed the Buddha, who was 40,000 years old, their strength was still quite formidable.

Zhang Tian understood what the Green Ox meant. "So, Old Ox, do you think the pilgrims won't be able to overcome this tribulation?"

He wasn't nervous at all.

On the contrary, they felt confident of victory.

It's because the pilgrimage team he chose this time is very strong. Almost everyone can stand on their own, unlike Pigsy and Sandy who drag the team down. Plus, there's Pleiades Star Lord, who is the natural counter to Scorpion Demon. There's no fear of not being able to get through it!

Seeing his confident appearance, Qingniu said nothing more, but lay there thoughtfully. "I, Old Niu, remembered something. Master once mentioned this scorpion demon, saying that this monster was born of heaven and earth, extremely unique, and possesses innate yin."

"The reason she was able to hurt Buddha was..."

"It's not because her scorpion tail is hard or sharp enough... but because her scorpion tail is poisonous!"

"A rare, innate poison!"

Zhang Tian initially didn't take it seriously. Even though the green ox said that this strange poison was a poison of lust, he still didn't realize the seriousness of the problem.

He was still joking in his heart.

The scorpion demon had met her match. Monkeys prefer hairy creatures, Chen Xuanzang, being a mortal, couldn't withstand poison, and the Little Celestial Venerable, burdened by his own ill-fated relationship, probably no longer liked women. Only Erlang Shen, who had achieved sainthood in the flesh, used all his charms and flirted with everyone, but all of them ended up being the head of the Eastern Depot.

But Qingniu's next words made Zhang Tian's smile vanish, replaced by extreme seriousness. He muttered to himself, "If that scorpion demon's power is a venomous poison of lust..."

"But the Tathagata is the master of Buddhism, and his Buddhist teachings have been perfected. He has no desires whatsoever in his heart, and all beautiful women are but skeletons!"

"Then why was he stung by the scorpion demon, and even felt pain?"

unless……

Buddha had desires in his heart!
The green ox chuckled, as if he had figured out something extraordinary, and inadvertently let slip, "No wonder, no wonder! I was wondering why that old bodhisattva was so confident that she could return to Mount Ling. It turns out that even Tathagata, a half-step Hunyuan, has such a huge flaw!"

The Buddha is a well-known genius.

It took 40,000 years to achieve the half-step Hunyuan realm.

The Buddha's teachings are terrifyingly profound.

His supernatural powers were also extremely formidable.

But who could have imagined that the head of Buddhism would have such a flaw in his Buddhist teachings! For an ordinary practitioner, this would be nothing, but for a master, a small flaw can completely determine life or death!
In his excitement, Qingniu noticed Zhang Tian's serious expression and immediately realized he had let something slip, so he lowered his head guiltily.

Qingniu: It seems I, Old Niu, mentioned the old lady, but it doesn't matter. Young Zhang doesn't know anything about it, and he might not even know who I, Old Niu, am talking about.
But Zhang Tian knew very well.

That old lady.

Returning to Lingshan.

To find the Buddha's weakness.

And that God of Wealth who ran away!

That's clearly Wutian!
Qingniu actually hooked up with the other party!
Zhang Tian's words carried a warning: "That person is not easy to get along with. Although he treats his subordinates very well, his fate is sealed, and he is destined to fail."

The mandate of heaven is only thirty-three days.

To turn the tide, we must first win over the Monkey King, the true chosen one! The future boneless relic!
But as long as Zhang Tian doesn't say anything.

But as long as the Three Pure Ones don't reveal it.

Wu Tian would likely follow the original trajectory and inevitably lose, so Zhang Tian did not want Qing Niu to get involved, but unexpectedly, the other party seemed to have made up his mind.

"Young Zhang, you don't understand. I, Old Niu, am just too eager to improve!"

He was trapped in the Hunyuan Golden Immortal realm.

I've lost count of how many cycles have passed.

I've long coveted the half-step Hunyuan realm.

He's taking a gamble; if he succeeds, he'll become a Buddha or an ancestor!

If it fails...

"Then let's go back to the master's place to sleep!"

Zhang Tian: Uh... why does this feel like Zhu Biao's rebellion? If he succeeds, he becomes emperor; if he fails, he remains the crown prince.

He stopped trying to persuade him.

He could only sigh in his heart. Even the ox of Laozi's family was restless. Countless gods in the Heavenly Court longed to advance further and coveted the merit of following the dragon. After all, the official position in the Heavenly Court symbolized lifespan!

"A troubled time..."

He pondered for a moment, then casually wrote down the path to salvation on the paper: alchemy!
And the other side.

The new Brahma realm.

The future great demon Wutian was wearing down the book in his hand. As the black lotus of his primordial spirit continued to rotate, the restrictions set on the book gradually melted like a snowman under the scorching sun, revealing its true form.

named...

The Tao Te Ching!
The God of Wealth stood respectfully below, saying, "Master, according to your plan, I stole the wealth of many gods in Heaven and deceived them. Even the Great Heavenly Venerable thought I had absconded with the money and sent people to investigate me."

Everyone thought he was a fraudster.

But in fact.

Even if you combined the wealth of a thousand or ten thousand gods, it wouldn't amount to the value of this book in front of you!

The God of Wealth's eyes burned with fervor. "It has been said in the Heavenly Court that Laozi has recently taken in a disciple, so he simplified the Tao Te Ching, which leads directly to the primordial chaos and elucidates the great Dao of Heaven and Earth, and that is how this Taoist scripture came to be."

"Hehe, it turns out his disciple was an ignorant fool, blind to talent. For the sake of petty gains, he actually brought out this peerless martial arts technique!"

The God of Wealth thought Zhang Tian was incredibly stupid.

Unexpectedly, Wutian chuckled coldly, and two beams of black light shot from his eyes, projecting into the air and allowing everyone to see the secrets of the past.

That was the scene of Shenniu Village.

Qingniu watched Zhang Tian write the Daoist scripture with his own eyes. On the surface, he remained calm, but in reality, his eyes were almost bulging out. In the middle of the night, he secretly burned incense, attracting the primordial spirit of Laozi to descend to the mortal world.

He had a fawning expression on his face.

He presented two Taoist scriptures.

One book was written by Zhang Tian, ​​and the other was written by him after he had some insights from reading it.

After reading the first book, Laozi (the Supreme Lord Lao) nodded repeatedly in amazement, "Excellent, excellent, not a single word has been changed!"

This is the highest praise.

He then glanced at the second book, and sighed softly, "Leave a title..."

Qingniu protested: Is it really that bad?

"Sigh, forget it, let's change the title too, I'm too ashamed to accept it!"

Qingniu: ...

Seeing this scene of past secrets.

Wu Tian's many subordinates, including the God of Wealth from earlier, were utterly dumbfounded, finding it unbelievable.

That incredibly profound Taoist scripture!

It was actually created by Zhang Tian!
How can this be? ! !
