We promised to develop a game of elimination, but what the hell is going on with Havoc in Heaven?

Chapter 144 Tang Sanzang's Journey to the West! Perhaps we can ask the Monkey King of Flower Fruit Mountain! (Please subscribe!!!)
at the same time.

It was just as Li Shimin descended to the underworld.

When they encountered the Ten Kings of Hell and Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Inside Chang'an City.

Inside a high-end teahouse.

"Ahhh~ I can't see it anymore."

Lin Xiao and Su Yan were drinking tea here.

After seeing that the follow mode in his live stream had been disconnected, Lin Xiao couldn't help but sigh.

This follow mode has a drawback: if the distance is too far, you can't see what's happening on the other side.

Su Yan chuckled and said, "Didn't you say you didn't care much about this live stream? You didn't seem to put in any effort at all. With such a large audience, you just turned on follow mode and went off to do your own thing."

"Who said that?" Lin Xiao immediately shook her head in denial. "I care about it a lot, okay? It's just that I'm more interested in the Go in this world. Yan Yan, listen to me, that Wang Jixin is really too amazing. If you say it's an AI, many of his moves are so novel that I've never seen them before. It's hard to imagine. It's impossible for him to be an AI."

Lin Xiao spoke to Su Yan with great excitement.

Su Yan nodded. She understood this feeling all too well. Wasn't she the same way when she first met Wu Daozi?
"This game is very interesting, and many aspects of the culture are amazing. It's not just about painting and chess; I've also discovered that many poets in this country have written very impressive poems."

The reason it hasn't spread yet is simply because it's been overshadowed by scenes of fighting, killing, gods, and monsters. But once it's been around for a while, I dare say it will be world-famous.

Su Yan said seriously.

She truly felt the same way; there were just too many amazing things about this game.

However, on the surface, this is a mythological game, and too many things are hidden beneath it.

"Mm." Lin Xiao nodded, agreeing wholeheartedly.

As a casual gamer and a student at Imperial University, even though she majored in science, she could still appreciate the value of this gaming culture.

He deeply agreed with Su Yan's words.

"I wonder how things are going on my father's side," Lin Xiao said, looking down at the teahouse below.

The distance was too far, and her live stream's follow mode was interrupted.

Meanwhile, the players in the underworld were all eager to stream their matches.

As a result, they couldn't even get in touch with Li Shimin, let alone broadcast it live.

Just look at the kind of people Li Shimin encountered when he entered the underworld, and you'll understand.

Judge Cui Jue received them, and then they met with the Ten Kings of Hell. This was a high-level occasion that ordinary ghost messengers like the players would never have the opportunity to attend to.

So they actually have no idea what's going on in the underworld.

"Don't worry, it will definitely be close to the original story."

Su Yan smiled slightly and said, "The dragon's ambition defies the laws of heaven, and a king's promise can lead to death. If it weren't for the Dragon-Slaying Sword of yesteryear, how could there have been the pilgrims on their long journey to retrieve the scriptures?"

Actually, I've always felt that this part of the story is unlikely to be changed. You have to understand, the Dragon King of the Jing River is at the very beginning of the journey to the West; he's far too crucial.

Fate is not something that cannot be defied.

But fate is hard to defy.

Defiing fate is not so simple.

Think about Sun Wukong; how many people were involved to make even a slight change?

What gives the Jinghe Dragon King the right to do so?
Hearing this, Lin Xiao looked at Su Yan and sighed, "It's you literature students who can recite poems so easily. I can't do that."

"Are you making fun of me?" Su Yan asked, both amused and exasperated.

Lin Xiao is from Imperial University, while she's only from Qin University.

The two continued to play and joke around.

Because they both share a passion for Tang Dynasty culture, the two are now very close.

of course.

Matters concerning the dissemination of knowledge.

They hadn't forgotten that Su Yan had already figured out the time to spread modern knowledge to Li Shimin, and they chatted excitedly with Lin Xiao.

This was also the main purpose of their meeting.

……

the other side.

Just as Su Yan had predicted.

Everything is unfolding according to the original storyline.

After Li Shimin's soul entered the underworld and returned to the world of the living, under the guidance of the Ten Kings of Hell, the whole country prepared a Water and Land Ritual to deliver the souls of those who had no one to care for them.

And the person who presides over the Dharma assembly.

It was none other than Tang Sanzang, Tang Xuanzang.

When Tang Xuanzang made his first appearance, countless players were incredibly excited, and the barrage of comments kept flooding in.

If you look closely, you can even see it.

Among the crowd, there were also many players who were learning Buddhism with Tang Xuanzang.

Most of them are Buddhist practitioners in the real world.

Guanyin Bodhisattva changed her appearance and observed the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi from among the crowd, nodding in satisfaction from time to time.

She took out the treasures bestowed by the Buddha—a brocade robe and a nine-ringed staff—and began to hawk them among the crowd.

The viewers in the live stream and the players at the scene were immediately amused by this.

Others may not know that this is Guanyin.

But they all know that.

The comments kept scrolling by.

Lin Xiao was also looking around with curiosity.

This Water and Land Dharma Assembly.

She was summoned by Li Shimin to participate.

Guanyin Bodhisattva was also called crazy and stupid because her asking price was too high.

Seeing that this person seemed extraordinary, Li Shimin summoned him to the main hall after the Water and Land Ceremony.

In the underworld, although he made some agreements with Guanyin, he did not know that the two of them were actually Guanyin and Muzha in disguise.

After Xuanjin Hall.

Li Shimin then asked curiously, "Monk, how much does your cassock cost?"

The old monk, who was actually Guanyin, replied, "The robe costs five thousand taels, and the staff costs two thousand taels."

"Oh? Worth so much silver?" Li Shimin asked in surprise, then asked, "What's so special about this robe?"

“This kasaya is made of silk drawn from ice silkworms and woven by celestial maidens. It is covered with various treasures. Wearing my kasaya will prevent you from falling into depravity or hell. You will be worshipped by ten thousand chariots and accompanied by seven Buddhas whenever you go,” Guanyin replied.

"Oh?" Li Shimin was surprised. He immediately summoned Tang Xuanzang, who was attending the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, and said to him, "Master Xuanzang, this wandering monk has a brocade kasaya and a nine-ringed staff, both of which are treasures. I am willing to buy them and give them to you, Master."

"This humble monk thanks you for your kindness." Tang Xuanzang quickly bowed.

Li Shimin nodded. Tang Xuanzang had presided over the Water and Land Dharma Assembly, and his hard work and contributions were great. Naturally, he should show his appreciation. This cassock came at the perfect time: "Please ask the monk to offer his treasures. I will reward him handsomely."

"Yes." The old monk who was Guanyin in disguise quickly bowed and then said to Tang Xuanzang, "Please accept my brocade cassock and nine-ringed staff."

Li Shimin then asked Tang Xuanzang to put it on and see, and Tang Xuanzang obeyed.

Once he put it on, the kasaya shone with golden light, and all the ministers in the hall exclaimed in surprise.

Lin Xiao, watching from the side, also found it amusing.

She was probably the only one present who knew everyone else's identities.

[Haha, it's starting, it's starting!]

[Here it comes, the Journey to the West is about to begin.]

Holy crap, we finally got here! I'm inexplicably excited.

Holy crap, that robe is awesome!

[Awesome as it may be, isn't this a bit too flashy?]

[Elder Jinchi: Requesting the link!]

Of course, the many audience members who were not present were also incredibly excited to see this scene.

After Xuanzang put on the kasaya.

Li Shimin also ordered someone to give money to Guanyin.

But Guanyin refused.

Li Shimin asked in surprise, "Monk, you originally said the cassock would cost five thousand taels and the staff two thousand taels, so why do you say you don't need the money anymore?"

The old monk, who was actually Guanyin, said, “I made a vow before that I would not take a single penny from you who recognize this treasure. Now that I see His Majesty’s enlightened virtue and respect for Buddhism, and that this eminent monk is virtuous and accomplished in spreading the Dharma, it is only right that I present it to you!”

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately beamed with joy.

Upon seeing this, Xuanzang stepped forward, intending to pay his respects to the old monk.

However, the old monk stopped him: "The Dharma Master just preached Theravada Buddhism. Can you preach Mahayana Buddhism?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang was startled and quickly replied humbly, "Master, I have been very rude and guilty. Nowadays, the monks in the East all speak of Hinayana Buddhism, but they do not know about Mahayana Buddhism."

The old monk chuckled and said, “Your Hinayana Buddhism can only muddle through the world. I have the Mahayana Buddhist canon, which can help the dead ascend to heaven, deliver those in distress from suffering, resolve all grievances, and eliminate unwarranted disasters.”

Upon hearing this, Tang Xuanzang was startled again and was about to ask something.

Unexpectedly, Li Shimin preempted him, eagerly asking, "That monk, do you know where Mahayana Buddhism is located?"

Although the matter of the Jinghe Dragon King was resolved, it still frightened Li Shimin.

I'm afraid I'll encounter similar things again.

Hearing about this kind of Buddhist teaching, they were naturally very interested.

"The Mahayana Buddhist canon is located at the Great Thunderclap Temple on Mount Ling in the Western Paradise, the place of the Buddha Tathagata, which is 108,000 li away from here," the old monk said with a smile.

Li Shimin was somewhat surprised when he heard this.

The court officials were all astonished.

That's quite a distance. If you convert it to Earth, that distance is enough to circle the entire planet one and a half times.

That's why it's said that Sun Wukong's ability to travel 108,000 li in a single somersault is remarkable.

After a brief moment of shock, Tang Xuanzang still firmly said, "In that case, I am willing to do my utmost to go to the Western Paradise to seek the true scriptures and pray for the eternal stability of my king's kingdom."

"Very well." Upon hearing this, Li Shimin stood up from the dragon throne and even stepped down to stand in front of Tang Xuanzang, saying, "Since the Dharma Master is so capable, I am willing to become sworn brothers with you."

Traveling 108,000 li (approximately 54,000 kilometers), Li Shimin must have been incredibly determined.

Upon hearing this, Xuanzang quickly bowed again.

"Excellent, excellent," the old monk said from the side. "But the journey to the Western Paradise is long and fraught with tigers, leopards, and demons. I'm afraid there's no way to return, and one's life is in danger. I wonder if the Master still dares to go?"

Seeing this, Xuanzang approached the old monk and said, "I have made a great vow that I will go all the way to the Western Paradise and will not return until I obtain the true scriptures."

"Amitabha." The old monk smiled immediately, and said with satisfaction, "Those who are willing to go will attain enlightenment and achieve a golden body."

"Amitabha," Tang Xuanzang also uttered a Buddhist chant.

"Haha." The old monk's face was full of smiles. He took Muzha and flew up to the high platform. Then he stepped on auspicious clouds and soared to the ninth heaven, where he revealed the true form of the Bodhisattva.

Muzha, who was beside her, naturally revealed his true form as well.

When the entire court saw Guanyin Bodhisattva reveal her true form, they were all astonished.

"Guanyin Bodhisattva".

"It's Guanyin Bodhisattva."

They rushed out of the hall one by one.

Li Shimin's face also lit up with joy.

He hadn't expected that the Bodhisattva would reappear so soon after their parting in the netherworld.

Everyone followed Guanyin to the outside of the hall and bowed one by one.

"We pay our respects to Guanyin Bodhisattva. May Guanyin Bodhisattva protect us."

The chat room was buzzing with activity.

Guanyin smiled and nodded when she saw this.

She looked at Tang Xuanzang and said slowly, "Xuanzang, the journey is long and fraught with danger. Since you have decided to go west, I will not say anything more. But before you go west, I can point out a clear path for you."

In the Water Curtain Cave of Flower Fruit Mountain in Aolai Kingdom, there lived a handsome Monkey King named Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven. His skills were extraordinary, and his supernatural powers were vast, with few in the world able to rival him.

If you can persuade him to come down from the mountain and escort you to the Western Paradise, then you will have no worries on your journey.”

"Thank you, Bodhisattva." Tang Xuanzang quickly expressed his gratitude and kept it in mind.

"Please, Great Sage, what you say is truly comforting."

[Hehe, this is the kind of grandeur our Great Sage should have! Not waiting under the Five Fingers Mountain for this monk to rescue him!]

[Exactly! Lin Dong doesn't know anything about Journey to the West. Does he know more than I do?]

[It wasn't for nothing that we rescued the Great Sage from the Five Finger Mountain! Hahaha.]

[Good work deserves appreciation, but don't you guys think this Guanyin still looks quite charming?]

[Upstairs, what are you talking about? That person is a bodhisattva!]

What? That's even more exciting!

The viewers in the live stream were all smiles when they saw this.

Even though we still had to travel west, everyone was very happy about this slight difference.

Is it the same to have the Monkey King as your bodyguard on your journey westward and to hire the Monkey King as your bodyguard on your journey westward?

This is the result of their players' hard work!

Seeing that Tang Xuanzang understood, Guanyin nodded, then looked at Lin Xiao and said, "You must be the fourth daughter of the Tang Emperor, Princess Li Xiao?"

"Huh?" Lin Xiao was originally just standing aside watching the fun and doing a live stream.

Unexpectedly, Guanyin asked her a question, and she quickly replied, "Yes, Bodhisattva."

"Would you be willing to travel west with Xuanzang to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in the Western Paradise?" Guanyin asked.

Lin Xiao: "???"

Lin Xiao was completely stunned upon hearing this.

What the hell?
Journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, her?

Why did you suddenly choose her?
Upon hearing this, Li Shimin suddenly looked at Lin Xiao.

In the netherworld, Guanyin Bodhisattva said that there might be something that would require the help of the fourth princess of the dynasty. Li Shimin agreed at the time, but he never expected that it would happen during his journey to the west.

The viewers in the live stream were briefly stunned upon hearing this, before exclaiming in surprise.

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

【Fuck! 】

Guanyin Bodhisattva quickly offered an explanation: "I have heard that in the matter of the Jing River Dragon King, you reminded him in advance that you wanted to save him from the fire and water. You are extraordinary by birth and have a compassionate heart. You can go to the Western Paradise with Xuanzang."

Lin Xiao: "..."

Lin Xiao was speechless upon hearing this.

She soon realized that she had been too involved in the Jinghe Dragon King's affairs and had caught Guanyin's eye!
Seeing that Lin Xiao still didn't speak, Guanyin smiled and said, "If you are willing to go to the Western Paradise, the Dragon King of the Jing River can transform into a black horse to ride for you."

This is also what Guanyin said in the underworld: the only possibility for the Jinghe Dragon King to return to life.

Although Guanyin could save the Jinghe Dragon King, he had ultimately disobeyed the imperial decree.

As the saying goes, one may be spared the death penalty, but cannot escape punishment.

The Dragon King of the Jing River's desire to atone for his sins is not so simple.

Finding Lin Xiaoxi is also very simple.

The story of the Jing River Dragon King is just one example.

Another point is that Guanyin had already noticed Lin Xiao's unusual behavior.

Anomalies have begun to emerge in this world.

Although they lack top-tier combat power, they are already a formidable force in the world.

Therefore, the journey to the West could no longer proceed as usual and needed to be altered.

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

【? ? ? 】

Upon hearing this, the viewers in the live stream began to raise a series of question marks.

Lin Xiao himself was also taken aback and said awkwardly, "Bodhisattva, isn't this inappropriate? Would the Jing River Dragon King be willing to be used as a substitute?"

If it were anyone else, they would probably be overjoyed to hear that they could join the pilgrimage team to the Western Paradise to retrieve Buddhist scriptures, after all, this is a natural source of traffic.

But Lin Xiao is different... she's special.

I've only just found what I love in the Tang Dynasty, and I haven't even had a chance to fully appreciate its golden age. Is traveling west really necessary?

Upon hearing this, Guanyin smiled slightly and then gestured with her hand.

A wisp of green smoke began to appear, and then a dragon's shadow appeared.

It was the Jing River Dragon King.

"Fourth Princess! I am willing, I am willing." The Jinghe Dragon King hurriedly said as soon as he appeared, "I remember the Fourth Princess's righteous words. When I fell into demonic possession, the Fourth Princess did her best to help me turn back from my wrong path. I have no way to repay her for this. I am willing to be the Fourth Princess's mount on her journey to the west."

She was the daughter of Emperor Taizong of Tang, Li Shimin.

Lin Xiao was of noble status, and the Jinghe Dragon King felt that being his mount was not an insult to him.

Not to mention that Lin Xiao had helped him many times. Although he didn't listen to her advice in the end, how could he not remember her kindness? He couldn't even tolerate someone who saved his life.

Of course, besides that.

And then there's the suffering of reincarnation.

Compared to the suffering of reincarnation, what is merely being a mount?

Holy crap! That's incredibly dedicated!

【Seriously, Dragon King, are you kidding me? Is this even considered putting in any effort?】

I've never seen another streamer this lazy and irresponsible. They even keep their stream in follow mode the whole time, so I've never actually seen anyone.

[By the way, what was the streamer doing back then? I remember that apart from reminding the Jinghe Dragon King at the beginning of the game and driving him away twice in my dream, he was playing chess the whole time?]

[Um, you guys have to admit, the game of chess between the streamer and the NPCs is actually quite interesting.]

[Damn! You're so stubborn! Is playing chess the important thing right now?]

Lin Xiao: "..."

Upon hearing the words of the Jinghe Dragon King and looking at the comments in the live stream, Lin Xiao felt a wave of embarrassment wash over him.

There is something to say...

The comments were correct.

After witnessing the incredible actions of the Jinghe Dragon King, she simply couldn't be bothered with the matter anymore, let alone put in any effort or care.

But seeing the Jinghe Dragon King's expression of deep agreement and overwhelming gratitude, they realized that he was truly grateful.

Lin Xiao was speechless for a moment.

As expected of a stupid dragon.

Will sitting on it affect my IQ?

Lin Xiao felt a little disgusted for some reason. After thinking for a moment, she said to Guanyin, "Bodhisattva, please let me consider this for a while."

"Good." Guanyin nodded, said nothing more, and slowly disappeared from the spot with Muzha.

As for the Jing River Dragon King...

It then transformed into a treasure and floated to Lin Xiao's side.
