Dimension Paradise, I am a summoning apostle

Chapter 448 At Jiangtian Temple, Zen Master Wende speaks of cause and effect.
Two constables, plus Xu Jingnian carrying a bag.

Then Chu Danqing and Da Bao set off for Xuyang Town.

It takes three days to reach the destination on foot.

When they left, the Prefect himself saw them off.

He was actually reluctant to let Chu Danqing leave; there were countless benefits to having someone with such abilities by his side.

After Chu Danqing said that he would send the pearl to Jiangtian Temple to eliminate the obsession and karmic obstacles of the Jade Dragon and Golden Phoenix, otherwise there would be endless suffering, the Prefect didn't say anything more.

As for whether the other party has truly reformed, Chu Danqing had no idea.

Human nature is unpredictable and fickle; things are never that easy.

"Young Master Chu, is my wife a demon?" Xu Jingnian couldn't help but ask on the way.

After returning home yesterday, I kept thinking about what was wrong, but I was puzzled and couldn't figure it out.

Fortunately, his sister and brother-in-law, Chen Biao, were there and gave him some advice.

What kind person would use illusion magic to disguise an ancestral hall as a mansion?
It must be a demon or monster with ulterior motives.

Not to mention that he also kept five evil spirits.

Even with his confusion, Xu Jingnian couldn't help but feel uneasy at this point.

I happened to run into Chu Danqing today. He's someone who can subdue evil spirits, so he must know something about this.

"Ask him yourself," Chu Danqing said, not intending to tell him.

The reason is simple: Bai Zhenniang came to repay a debt of gratitude in order to become an immortal. If this were to ruin her path, everything else would fall apart.

Besides, saying it probably wouldn't make any difference.

The phrase "spreading rumors and misleading the public" perfectly captures the characteristics of a demon, and it's not difficult for him to fool Xu Jingnian.

Seeing Chu Danqing's attitude, Xu Jingnian had no choice but to give up.

They were traveling on the main road, where there were many people coming and going, and they did not encounter any demons or monsters.

We arrived at the outskirts of Xuyang Town with ease.

"You two should first escort Master Xu to report for duty. Jiangtian Temple is outside the town; I'll go there to find Zen Master Wende," Chu Danqing said.

The two constables dared not say anything and could only continue escorting Xu Jingnian toward Xuyang Town.

They headed towards Jiangtian Temple, and upon arrival, they immediately expressed their desire to pay a visit to Zen Master Wende.

Upon hearing this, the monks in the temple went to report it.

There was no dismissive or aloof attitude.

The round trip took about ten minutes, and then the monk led Chu Danqing to see Zen Master Wende.

Upon entering the room, one sees an old monk with a long beard, wearing a kasaya, sitting as if in a seated position.

Upon seeing Chu Danqing arrive, he poured tea and lit incense, saying, "I already know the purpose of your visit, layman."

Before Chu Danqing could speak, Zen Master Wende spoke first.

"Oh? You can also perform divination?" Chu Danqing sat down and asked.

"I know a little bit," Zen Master Wende said with a smile. "Those who cultivate themselves all know a little bit."

Chu Danqing didn't dare to speak; he wouldn't.

It's probably because this trial world is quite special; otherwise, what respectable person would bother to cultivate a celestial divination system?

"Then I'll entrust this pearl to the master." Chu Danqing handed the pearl to the other party.

He couldn't discern Master Wende's true nature; at first glance, he seemed like an ordinary person, but upon closer inspection, he was like a mirage.

His estimate was around level 5, which would be no match for the Cat Goddess.

Actually, the Goddess of Cats is said to be 5th tier, but it has many flaws.

Moreover, this flaw stemmed from His origins and background, a fact revealed by Wanlingxian and Chu Danqing.

Otherwise, Chu Danqing wouldn't know either.

So even though it's a level 5 being, it can't beat opponents of the same level, so it's only useful for bullying weaker opponents.

There are two ways to solve this problem.

The temporary solution is for the Cat Goddess to devour the other eight Pillar Gods, but the permanent solution is for Chu Danqing to advance to level 5, at which point he can resolve the issue.

“This Dragon and Phoenix Boy owes a great deal to the layman’s help, which is why he has now achieved perfect merit.” Zen Master Wende said after receiving the gift, “The layman can rest assured about the attachments and karmic obstacles he has been burdened with.”

"Simply place it in a temple and have it receive incense and chanting for seven days to cleanse it."

“Layman, come back in seven days to retrieve this pearl,” said Zen Master Wende.

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing didn't say much, but instead asked, "Master, may I ask who this pearl and the dragon and phoenix boy are?"

He wanted to know its origins.

Zen Master Wende smiled and said, "That's easy to say."

"This dragon and phoenix boy was originally one of the two pairs of boys of the Immortal Tongxuan."

“In the past, the Heavenly Mother of Yaochi held a banquet for all the immortals, and the Immortal Tongxuan went to the banquet with his attendant.”

"These two children, being playful, came to play by the Milky Way and found a piece of uncut jade."

“The boy, feeling mischievous, said he would polish this rough jade into a fine piece and present it to the immortal as a gift.”

"This process took a thousand days, exhausting his energy and spirit, but ultimately resulting in this brilliant pearl."

"The Heavenly Mother could not bear to see this, so she created a lake to nurture the pearl, and left the two souls under the lake, setting up the Three Pools Reflecting the Moon to dispel their obsession."

"If the obsession lessens, the lake will grow a little bigger."

“Originally only the size of a palm, it has now become Hidden Pearl Lake,” said Zen Master Wende.

Chu Danqing was completely speechless. How could everyone here be a god? However, he also noticed a blind spot: why was the Profound Immortal Elder acting like an invisible man, doing absolutely nothing?
"And what about this Immortal Master Tongxuan? Is he just watching?" Chu Danqing asked curiously.

Zen Master Wende smiled and said, "Of course not. Immortal Tongxuan took these two boys to a banquet."

"That's because he went to a banquet." Chu Danqing realized what was going on as she spoke, "Oh, I see."

This isn't going to a banquet; it's clearly going to seek help from the Jade Pool Heavenly Mother.

At first glance, it seems that the Dragon and Phoenix Boys were robbed because the Immortal Master Tongxuan was attending a banquet.

But if I don't go, things might get even worse.

It's likely that the Immortal Master Tongxuan had already made arrangements, but it was inconvenient for him to take direct action.

It must have taken a lot of connections to ensure that the Dragon and Phoenix Boys were only trapped at the bottom of Hidden Pearl Lake, entangled in their obsessive karmic burdens.

It would be truly tragic if it were someone like Bai Zhenniang; one slip and she could be doomed forever.

The Dragon and Phoenix Boys certainly suffered, but their lives were not in danger.

"It seems the layman has also figured out the crux of the matter," Zen Master Wende said with a smile, saving him the trouble of explaining further.

"In that case, I will come to Jiangtian Temple again in seven days." Chu Danqing said, and was about to leave.

The trial mission was not yet complete and obviously needed time, so he planned to leave first.

However, when Chu Danqing got up, Zen Master Wende said, "Layman, why don't you stay in Jiangtian Temple and wait? It will only take seven days at most."

"The temple has beautiful scenery and a scripture pavilion and Dharma platform for reading."

"The round trip takes quite a bit of time, so it's a good place to rest."

Upon hearing this, Chu Danqing felt as if the other party was inviting her to be a guest.

Chu Danqing shook her head: "No, I have something to do."

We can take advantage of these 7 days to deal with Bai Zhenniang.

“Layman, the karma of others is predetermined from their past lives, why interfere?” Zen Master Wende couldn’t help but say.

Chu Danqing finally understood what the other party meant. It turned out that the other party had asked him to stay here because he wanted to deal with Bai Zhenniang.

"I knew it was destined in my past life, but she promised me that she would help me arrange a marriage for her and she would help my Da Bai complete his bloodline." Chu Danqing said bluntly, "I did the job, but she tricked me and my husband Xu, and then ran away without paying me."

“This is not meddling; this is what she owes me.”

"This marriage is related to becoming an immortal. Tell me, is the debt big enough? Shouldn't this debt be collected?" Chu Danqing asked rhetorically.

Bai Zhenniang didn't ask him to act as matchmaker, so Chu Danqing's interference in her affairs was definitely presumptuous.

The problem is that before the other party betrayed him and Xu Jingnian, Chu Danqing had been helping them all along.

No matter how you look at it, he can't possibly be at fault.

Zen Master Wende wanted to say something, but in the end he just sighed.

“Layman, one should be lenient when one can.” Zen Master Wende knew he couldn’t persuade Chu Danqing.

Chu Danqing replied, "Master, rest assured, I will only take what I am entitled to and will not do anything else."

Bai Zhenniang is a scoundrel, but not to the point of being morally reprehensible.

She actually harmed the people around her, such as Xu Jingnian.

No one else was actually in mortal danger because of her actions.

Otherwise, Chu Danqing would have killed her long ago.

As long as you stay away from her, ordinary people won't have any problems.

“Although Bai Zhenniang’s actions were a bit absurd, she only targeted Xu Jingnian and didn’t harm anyone else, so I wouldn’t kill her,” Chu Danqing continued.

But Zen Master Wende didn't seem to believe him.

“If you wish to ensure your son Dabai has a bloodline, why dwell on Xiangliu? Such a fierce spirit is not to be trifled with,” said Zen Master Wende. “If you do not mind, I would like to stay at the temple for seven days.”

"Afterwards, I can go to the Western Paradise to ask for a portion of dragon blood for the layman, so that his bloodline can be preserved."

Chu Danqing was indeed tempted, but her eyes narrowed.

Afterwards, what afterwards?
"No, matters of bloodline are about being of pure lineage," Chu Danqing refused.

After leaving Jiangtian Temple, he needed to summon Yang Qianyuan to help investigate.

He was actually worried about whether Yang Qianyuan could solve the problem.

He was certain that Bai Zhenniang's matter involved many deities.

They certainly know how to conceal the secrets of heaven.

“Layman, so be it.” Zen Master Wende originally wanted to say something more.

However, Chu Danqing completely ignored him and simply cupped his hands in farewell, saying, "Farewell."

After saying that, he left without any hesitation.

To put it bluntly, Chu Danqing didn't think he would do anything heinous.

On the contrary, Bai Zhenniang might actually do something astonishing.

As Chu Danqing came out, she saw a large white crane staring at her curiously, and it even came closer to look her up and down.

Chu Danqing noticed the other person's curiosity, so he reached out and patted the other person's head, then gave the other person a dried loach.

These were originally intended as snacks to feed the Goddess of Cats in the Trial World.

The white crane smelled the aroma and swallowed it whole; the taste made its eyes light up.

Chu Danqing smiled upon seeing this, then fed it two dried loaches before leaving.
