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

Chapter 239 Offended the Emperor? A trivial matter! Ah! The Jade Emperor!!
"What, is my alchemy technique authentic?"

"Uh...this is so authentic!"

Faced with Zhang Tian's smugness, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, who considered themselves grandmasters of alchemy, looked at each other in bewilderment and had no choice but to admit it.

After all, it's their so-called alchemy technique.

It's actually a skill.

Zhang Tian, ​​however, used the core inheritance of the Tushita Palace, namely the moral power derived from cultivating the Tao Te Ching, which possesses the supernatural power of making one's wishes come true and doing whatever one wants.

This is the Way!

Is skill greater or morality greater?
That's obviously an opinion.

Zhang Tian, ​​indulging in a mischievous musing, waved his sleeve, storing the hundreds of Clear Water Pills he had successfully refined into his sleeve, and then went to the South Gate of Heaven to wait for the monkey's arrival.

After all, he had been slacking off these past few days and didn't even know where the pilgrimage team had gone, let alone what kind of calamity they were facing. Naturally, he didn't know which deity the monkey should go to for help.

So I just squatted here.

The Bodhisattva Guanyin's finger-counting was indeed accurate.

Zhang Tian stood quietly for a moment, then saw the monkey somersaulting towards him from afar. He quickly reached out and grabbed it, "Monkey, monkey, where are you going?"

"Oh, junior brother, it's been a long time!"

The monkey was very happy.

He had been traveling west in the mortal realm for several years and had not seen Zhang Tian for a long time. This would not be a big deal for other immortals, but since both of them had only been cultivating for a short time, they naturally missed each other.

But he quickly became dejected.

Squatting on the stone pillar of the South Heavenly Gate, he sighed and said, "Junior brother, you have achieved great cultivation in heaven, but you don't know that I, Old Sun, suffer in the mortal world. That old monk has the mind of a mortal, and his Buddha-nature is very poor. He has fallen into the trap of that female demon again."

The monkey actually complained about Chen Xuanzang.

Is your Buddhist nature not strong?
These words sound rather incongruous. If others heard them, they would find them quite amusing, since monkeys are known throughout the Three Realms for their restlessness and poor temperament. Since ancient times, there has been a saying about the "monkey mind" in cultivation.

Chen Xuanzang was the reincarnation of Buddha, a living Buddhist disciple who had practiced Buddhism for nearly twenty years and had already achieved the appearance of a half-Buddha. He could be called an enlightened monk. How can you call this a lack of Buddha-nature?

But Zhang Tian knew that what the monkey said was true.

During his conversation with the other party.

They have already glimpsed the secrets of heaven.

Knowing what had happened to the four of them in the past, and filling in the details of the tribulations they had experienced over the years, he was filled with astonishment.

"Unexpectedly, the monkey still possesses such astonishing comprehension. Despite being a stone monkey, it has achieved Buddhahood even faster than Chen Xuanzang."

It turned out that the pilgrimage team had encountered a female demon who had been tied up on their journey.

The other party desperately pleaded for help.

The monkey realized that the other party was a demon, so he advised Chen Xuanzang not to meddle in other people's affairs. Chen Xuanzang initially listened, but he couldn't resist the female demon's words, which turned the situation around.

"What's the use of obtaining the true scriptures if you wouldn't help someone in distress?"

"To save someone in distress or not to save someone in distress—Master only scratched the surface. He didn't realize that not saving someone in distress is also a great wisdom."

The other party saved the female monster.

He even brought a female demon with him.

As a result, in the middle of the night, the female demon secretly ran up and ate people, killing six young monks. If Chen Xuanzang hadn't saved them, the six would not have suffered this calamity.

This is the cause and effect of the monkey's sigh.

All of this was due to Zhang Tian's comprehension of heavenly secrets. He immediately understood which calamity he had encountered, simply because the female demon was an acquaintance from a hundred years ago. "So it was her? Half of Guanyin!"

The monkey heard it.

He was immediately delighted, "Oh, it turns out to be an old acquaintance of my junior brother."

"Junior brother, do you want a wife?"

"If you want it, I, Old Sun, will hold back on that iron rod, show some mercy, spare her life, and give it to you!"

The monkey had been traveling westward for a long time and had become quite plump, understanding a little about human relationships. He saw that the female demon was very beautiful, with peach-blossom cheeks and tears, a face that could make fish sink and geese fall from the sky, and starry eyes filled with sorrow, a face that could shame the moon and flowers.

It's perfect for my junior apprentice.

This is a deity who doesn't like hair!

These words immediately provoked Zhang Tian to burst into laughter and curse, "You monkey, you're really asking for a beating!"

At least a pretty fox spirit or cat demon should be found. What's with the rat spirit? It's not attractive enough; let's just send it to a netizen's house. Zhang Tian dared not delay his business.

I chatted with the monkey for a few minutes.

They were about to descend to the mortal realm with the Clear Water Pill to subdue the so-called Earth Surge Lady, to vanquish demons and bring justice to the land.

Unexpectedly, the monkey mysteriously pulled out a memorial tablet from somewhere, on which several large characters were clearly written.

which is:
"My father holds the title of Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King!"

Then the monkey chuckled.

Zhang Tian glanced at it and immediately understood. He stopped pulling the monkey along and let it enter the South Heavenly Gate. He quietly followed behind, wanting only to watch a good show.

Suddenly.

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King who commanded 100,000 heavenly soldiers and generals, was furious.

Li Tianwang: "Huh? What? Someone actually wrote a letter of complaint against me?"

Is it registered under a real name?

"Show it to me first!"

"I'd like to see which scoundrel in the mortal realm has the audacity to do this!"

First, look at the signature.

It was Sun Wukong!

Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, was even more furious. "It's one thing for a mortal to sue me, let them be blind. But even the Spirit Star Lord is suing me. Are you trying to start an internal power struggle? Do you think my sword is ineffective?"

talking.

He actually drew his long sword and slashed at Sun Wukong.

This fact also proves that when a deity sues another deity, the outcome is the same as when a citizen sues an official—they will first suffer a few cuts.

Nezha, however, had a good memory and reminded him, which made Li Jing, the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King, suddenly realize his mistake. He slapped his thigh, full of regret, and said that he had forgotten that it was the rat spirit who had claimed kinship.

Zhang Tian watched the fool.

He just smiled and didn't say anything.

In this world of gods, one can receive a response simply by reciting a name. Moreover, important matters like offering incense are recorded on the memorial tablet and in the register of the gods.

Just like a medal for a mortal.

So it's fake just like that?
The group descended on clouds. The rat demon, unlike the Bull Demon King, was unable to obtain any information and was too weak to defeat all the immortals with his bare fists. He was instantly killed.

Xuanzang was rescued.

That was incredibly calm and composed.

Yes, many are kidnapped.

We already have experience with this.

Zhang Tian descended from the clouds, retrieved the refined Clear Water Pill, and bestowed it upon the other party. It melted instantly upon entering the mouth, curing all illnesses, causing Chen Xuanzang to kneel down and express his gratitude repeatedly.

"Thank you so much for your help, Master!"

Zhang Tian nodded.

Look up and gaze into the distance.

A glint of wisdom flashed in her eyes, and she also played out the scene of Guanyin facing the impending calamity. She spoke earnestly, "Monk on your journey to the west, do not be careless. The calamities ahead are numerous and extremely dangerous. The prefect there is blind and ignorant of fate. He has offended the emperor, and it may affect you! Be extremely careful!"

Chen Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief.

He only offended the emperor; he wasn't the powerful demon king I had imagined.

He was full of confidence, "With the Emperor's blessing, my disciples are all capable and have great supernatural powers. Wherever they go, they are treated as honored guests by the Emperor. I think this matter will be easily resolved and will not be a difficult problem."

"That emperor is amazing."

"Oh, which emperor? The new emperor or the old emperor?"

"The Jade Emperor."

Chen Xuanzang: ...

Xuanzang: How about... we split our luggage?
