Jackie Chan Adventures: I have everything I need now

Chapter 273 Miao Shan, the Eight-Clawed Black Dragon

Southern Jambudvipa.

Great Qin.

"Is the matter done?"

"I have already visited the Ancestral Dragon's side in my main body, and Yuan Feng also sent a telepathic message at the same time, agreeing without any prior discussion!"

"Will the Primordial Qilin be on our side? Yuan Feng, have you sent a telepathic message?"

Inside the secret chamber, Shen Du slowly turned his gaze to Donghuang Taiyi beside him.

The two stayed there and watched what happened on Kunlun Mountain. After it ended, Shen Du couldn't help but ask Donghuang Taiyi a question.

The speed at which the First Qilin reached the Undying Volcano was less than an hour.

After all, the current primordial world is not as vast and boundless as the ancient world of liches and demons.

In today's primordial world, even an ordinary person can travel from Chang'an City in the Southern Continent to the Lingshan Palace in the Western Continent in just a few decades.

This was proven during the Journey to the West.

Not to mention the powerful Primordial Golden Immortal peak like the First Qilin.

Furthermore, when Sun Wukong returned to Flower Fruit Mountain after causing havoc at the Peach Banquet, the Heavenly Court's pursuers were already at the gates.

The primordial wilderness of today is pitifully small.

It fragmented into three thousand great worlds and countless heavens and seas.

"The First Qilin has agreed!"

Donghuang Taiyi spoke calmly, as if he had everything under control.

“Fellow Daoist Shen Du, my cultivation level has recovered to that of a Primordial Golden Immortal.”

"The war between the celestial beings and the human realm has begun. I hope you, fellow Daoist, can lend me the Chaos Bell for the time being!"

"After the war between the celestial beings and the human, the Chaos Bell will once again be in your hands!"

Shen Du frowned, not because he didn't want to return the Chaos Bell to Donghuang Taiyi, but because he had already refined most of the innate restrictions on the Chaos Bell, leaving no trace of Donghuang Taiyi's primordial spirit imprint. How could the other party possibly control it?
After voicing this doubt, Donghuang Taiyi smiled calmly, "Fellow Daoist, the Chaos Bell is my innate treasure, having accompanied me for countless years. Even without the imprint of my primordial spirit, I can still control it!"

"As long as you, the current master, permit it, the Chaos Bell will naturally come to my aid!"

Upon hearing this, Shendu slowly nodded, "Agreed!"

"The Chaos Bell, when the war between heaven and man begins, Brother Taiyi will give the order, and the Chaos Bell will ring, the universe will be magnificent, and the bell's sound will be deafening, breaking through the void!"

The main force in this battle between the celestial and the human was not his main body, which was deeply cultivating with his Daoist partner Chang Xi on the Taiyin Star, but his avatar Ying Zheng of the Great Qin Dynasty in the lower realm, as well as the demon race, the dragon race, the phoenix race, the qilin race, and the witch race.

The five races joined forces, standing at the pinnacle of humanity, intimidating the Heavenly Court, reversing the dictatorial rule of Heaven, reclaiming the authority of the Earthly Realm, and reviving humanity.

"Excellent!" Donghuang Taiyi smiled, but suddenly sensed something trespassing into the Qin capital of Xianyang, and his eyes narrowed. "This is..."

"The stench of rotten money, the stench of Buddha in a place that harbors filth!" Shen Du's voice was icy.

Ever since Zhao Gao received his orders to suppress Buddhism.

Even though those dozen or so small temples did not spread widely, each temple contained countless amounts of gold. Many people who had broken the law in Qin Dynasty hid in the temples, as did the remnants of the six states who were wanted by the authorities.

After the persecution of Buddhism, Zhao Gao reported that a man named Xiang Ji, with his formidable martial prowess, broke through numerous dangers and escaped his encirclement with several people.

This caught the capital city somewhat off guard. After all, thanks to Bai Qi's training, the Qin army's strength was basically at the level of immortals.

How could a mere mortal escape the encirclement of hundreds of people?

But when I thought about it then, this book seemed to belong to Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu in history.

His surname was Xiang, his given name was Ji, and his son was Yu.

Since it was Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, Shen Du didn't blame Zhao Gao too much.

In this mythical era, Xiang Yu might not be able to turn things around, after all, he is not Ying Zheng in the original story, but Xiang Yu is still Xiang Yu in the original story.

As for Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, he didn't pay much attention to him. In the end, his enemy was the will of Heaven.

With countless gold pieces, their wealth far surpassed that of ordinary noble families. It's hard to imagine that a small temple could possess so much money.

This place was a den of iniquity, where remnants of the six former states and wanted criminals of the Qin Dynasty hid.

To say that one can absolve oneself of all past crimes simply by saying "lay down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha" is far too frivolous.

He disliked the hypocritical words of those bald monks in Buddhism; humanity had no need for such a sect.

If you wish to make offerings, please make offerings to the ancient sages of humankind.

This was also a message from him, Ying Zheng, an avatar of the Divine Capital, to the many civil and military officials, informing them of the human race within the territory of the Great Qin.

"A den of filth and depravity, what a fine name!" Donghuang Taiyi chuckled, seemingly quite pleased with the evaluation of Buddhism.

"However, it looks like that guy is here to cause you trouble."

Shen waved his hand dismissively, "It's nothing, I'll take care of it."

"Bon Voyage."

After saying this, Shen Du turned and left the secret chamber. Donghuang Taiyi also transformed into a wisp of crimson-gold light and vanished into the void, disappearing without a trace.

This secret chamber was where Shen Du, Donghuang Taiyi, and Bai Qi discussed matters.

Not for any other reason, but simply because this secret chamber is concealed by the magical power of the ancestral witch Houtu, and coupled with the great calamity energy of the world, it gradually obscures the secrets of heaven and bewitches the wisdom of living beings. Even the Heavenly Dao cannot see through the conversation here.

The aura of the Great Calamity was born from the primordial origin of the universe.

The Heavenly Dao is not the original will of the primordial world, and it cannot yet peer into the lives of living beings through the energy of the Great Calamity.

"..."

Several hours later, inside the city of Xianyang in the Qin Dynasty.

A woman sits upright in a place bathed in light, with a board in front of her inscribed with words of blessing all living beings and compassion for all people.

His appearance was dignified and serene, his body was pure and spotless, his face was as clear as the moon, and his eyes revealed a sense of compassion, a face that showed mercy to all beings.

Ahead of her, the people of Xianyang City heard rumors that this woman would receive certain benefits for praying for others.

In particular, some elderly people who were on the verge of death experienced a miraculous rebirth and a second life after listening to the woman's scriptures.

She has been in Xianyang for several days and has saved at least a thousand people, including some high-ranking officials, noble families and powerful clans.

Those who received the prayers were blessed with good health, as if they had recovered to their former state years ago. Even some people with weak constitutions regained their vigor as a result.

"I do not know your name, Master. I would like to invite you to the palace."

"My name is Miaoshan!"

"If you wish to invite me to the palace, then so be it. Come here tomorrow, and I will accompany you!"

Having received the reply, Ying Yinman turned and left, a sense of unease creeping into her heart.

What was her father thinking? Why would he let her invite a woman to the palace?!
Although the other party seems to have some supernatural abilities, he is far inferior to General Meng Tian and others who are by the Emperor's side.

However, since it is her father's will, she can do it.

However, what Ying Yinman found particularly incomprehensible was that she was asked to learn from Li Si.

She had only vaguely understood this knowledge a while ago. After telling her elder brother Fusu about it, he remained silent. Not wanting to make a fool of herself, Ying Yinman left Fusu's palace.

Only after Ying Yinman left did Fusu mutter to himself. He had said he would bring a peaceful and prosperous era to Qin, but his father had abandoned him!

Ying Yinman knew nothing about these things.

"Prime Minister Li, what do you think my father is thinking? Why would he invite a woman to the palace? Could it be that my father has taken a fancy to her?!"

Li Si, who accompanied Ying Yinman out, said calmly, "Your Highness, how could I possibly know anything about His Majesty the First Emperor's intentions?"

"Your Highness should prepare for tomorrow's exam. His Majesty the First Emperor has high hopes for you!"

The word "exam" instantly wiped away the smile that had been on Ying Yinman's face, which had been relaxed as she strolled down the street.

"Go back to the palace!"

Ying Yinman, who had originally wanted to stay on Longque Street in Xianyang City a little longer, lost interest and got into the carriage, asking Li Si to take her back.

"Ugh!"

Watching Ying Yinman's retreating figure as she entered the carriage, Li Si couldn't help but sigh.

No one knows what His Majesty the First Emperor was thinking, but he was implying, both openly and secretly, that Princess Ying Yinman was the next ruler of the Great Qin.

But, since ancient times, there has never been a woman who has ruled the world. Your Majesty the First Emperor is about to set a precedent.

But Li Si was powerless to stop all of this, and could only test Ying Yinman to see if she could become the next ruler of Qin.

Miao Shan watched Ying Yinman and Li Si gradually leave, and after entertaining the last guests who came to pray for her, she slowly packed up her stall and walked towards an inn.

Upon returning to the inn, Miaoshan emanated wisps of Buddhist light, which transformed into an invisible protective barrier, blessing the room.

His eyes were filled with sorrow.

"Tomorrow we can go to the palace of the Great Qin and meet Emperor Ying Zheng!"

"What exactly are the two Western Saints trying to do that they specifically sent Subhuti to give me orders!"

Miao Shan rubbed her forehead. She possessed the Buddha's Eyes of the two Western Saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, and could see everything within her gaze.

If it weren't for that recognition, she wouldn't have been willing to take the risk of meeting the Emperor of Qin.

Although she is now a Quasi-Saint of the Corpse, upon arriving in Xianyang City, under the suppression of the human race's fortune, her strength can only be exerted at the peak of the Great Luo Golden Immortal level.

This oppressive force reminded Miao Shan of the oppressive influence of the human emperor during the Shang Dynasty.

Could it be that the emperor of Qin is about to break through the boundaries of the Son of Heaven and elevate his own status to that of the Human Emperor?!
Miao Shan was filled with doubt. If that were really the case, then it would be truly bad.

As the Bodhisattva Guanyin of the West, she is in charge of all matters, large and small, in the Journey to the West, and the merits and fortune she receives are all ranked first.

But the hardship is also the greatest.

According to the deductions of the two sages, the Buddhist journey to the West could begin after the Qin Dynasty and until the Tang Dynasty.

But now, the dense aura of calamity between heaven and earth may disrupt the future course of things.

Little did they know that the reason why Zhunti and Jieyin sent Guanyin to the Qin Dynasty was to see if there was anything unusual about Emperor Ying Zheng of the Qin Dynasty.

The main purpose was to try to predict the outcome of this war between heaven and man so as not to affect their order for the great prosperity of the West.

Otherwise, Zhunti and Jieyin wouldn't have had so much free time, and they would have specifically sought out Guanyin to go to Daqin.

They also want to give away dozens of Bodhi seeds as a reward for this incident.

Miaoshan was the name of Cihang before she betrayed the Chan Sect, went deep into the six realms of reincarnation, was reborn and cultivated again, and was enlightened by Zhunti's three corpse incarnation, Subhuti, to become the Great Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva.

She came to the mortal realm, and naturally she used this name as well.

"..."

In the blink of an eye, the sun and moon changed, and the next day arrived.

Ying Yinman came as she was told, and led Guanyin to the Xianyang Palace.

Half an hour later, the civil and military officials were all reporting their memorials and matters from various places in Xianyang Palace. The eunuch outside the door hurriedly came forward to give this report, which puzzled the civil and military officials.

When did Your Majesty send Princess Yinman to invite the Venerable Miaoshan from Xianyang City? Why are they unaware of this?

"Xuan!"

The god spoke indifferently.

Meanwhile, outside Xianyang Palace, Guanyin looked up at the eight-clawed black dragon sleeping above the palace. Its vast fortune shook the heavens and caused countless immortals, gods, Buddhas, and demons to flee in fear. She was utterly shocked.

The invisible pressure further restricted her strength.

He murmured to himself, "This is the destiny of the Human Emperor!"

Guanyin was greatly alarmed.

The eight-clawed black dragon signifies that Qin Emperor Ying Zheng was only one step away from returning to the supreme throne of the human emperor.

Generally speaking, the aura that the rulers of dynasties in the mortal world gather is a five-clawed golden dragon, signifying supreme power.

The ancient human emperor's accumulated fortune was a nine-clawed golden dragon, also known as the supreme ruler.

During the Investiture of the Gods period, Emperor Xin's imperial fortune could suppress even the most powerful immortals, leaving them with almost no magical power.

Once upon a time, the immortal Yun Zhongzi, possessing the virtue of fortune, held a peach wood sword and hung it in the palace, intending to suppress the nine-tailed fox demon Su Daji, but was ultimately stopped by Emperor Xin.

In the end, Yun Zhongzi could only sigh helplessly.

Given the Emperor's current fortune, there is absolutely no way he would take action to eliminate the demon in person.

It's just that, before they could even make a move, the human race's fortune, sensing his malice, would press down like mountains, suppressing him to the bottom of the valley.

If she were to attempt to bewitch the emperor of Qin at this moment, she would likely suffer a backlash from the emperor's fate.

Now, Guanyin is filled with regret, wishing she hadn't taken on this difficult task.

To try and get close to a human who is about to reclaim the throne of the Human Emperor is probably a sign of desperation.

"Let's go, Venerable Miaoshan!"

Having received permission, Ying Yinman immediately invited Guanyin, who was standing nearby, to enter Xianyang Palace together.

Guanyin looked helpless. She had nowhere to retreat. She was caught between a rock and a hard place. She had the fate of the Great Qin Dynasty in front of her and the matter of the Sage behind her. She could only choose the former.

She couldn't bear the consequences of being questioned by the sage.

She had already offended her master, Yuqing Yuanshi Tianzun, and it would be a loss to offend the two Western saints, Zhunti and Jieyin, as well.

When the two Western Saints gave her this instruction, they were extremely serious about it, as if she would be in deep trouble if she messed it up.

At that time, I fell into a huge pit because of short-term gains, and I had no choice but to accept it.

Guanyin felt a deep sadness as she followed Ying Yinman into Xianyang Palace. The eyes of all the civil and military officials fell on the two of them. Above, a scrutinizing gaze also fell on Guanyin, determined not to give up until they had thoroughly seen through her and uncovered all her secrets.

"Wonderful, ingenious."

"Wonderful virtue attains its fruition, the Greatly Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva."

At this moment, Shendu whispered to himself, having already discerned the background of the person before him.

I just don't know what they're doing in Qin. Shouldn't they be staying in the west making plans?
