The True Lord has arrived

Chapter 184 The Eight-Leaf Immaculate Lion King, the Tathagata Envoy with the Green Snail-Head Hairpin
The white jade lion cat with heterochromatic eyes spoke human language.

Zhou Yan darted out the door in a flash, slamming it shut with a bang. His pupils widened in disbelief; the scene was so bizarre that his body reacted before his mind could even process it.

However, he soon realized that this was not the era he was familiar with.

There are monsters in this world. A loud banging sound came from inside the door. Zhou Yan's lips twitched. He calmed himself down and opened the door. Before opening the door, he heard the sound of claws scratching the door panel, but when he opened it, he saw a cat sitting there obediently.

"Meow~~~"

Her calls were especially sweet and charming.

It sat obediently on the stool, its fluffy tail wrapped around its paws.

There were three dishes and a soup on the table, all of them vegetarian.

After a cat maliciously added a rat's head to a high-ranking monk's dinner, the monk smiled and hung it up to give it a good beating. Under this 'cruel' training, its cooking skills were maxed out.

Just then, the arrogant god Lu Renjia returned: "My lord, you asked me to go find Xuanzhu..."

Lu Renjia saw the cat's head.

The lion cat paused for a moment, then sat there obediently, tilting its head and revealing its adorable, innocent heterochromatic eyes: "Meow?"

The arrogant god let out a scream and collapsed to the ground, trembling.

"Ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah!"

Zhou Yan remained silent for a moment, then sat down opposite the lion cat.

Without saying a word, the lion cat grew impatient, its white paws slapping against the plate, making a smacking sound: "Are you going to eat or not?"

Zhou Yan extended his hand.

"Take a bite."

White Jade Lion Cat: "??"

The white jade lion cat had a rope tied behind its rear end. It wanted to knock the boy unconscious and take him away, but the Old Mother of Lishan said she wanted to invite him over. Considering that the Old Mother of Lishan's elder brother was an ancient dragon-snake species that was even more ancient than Manjushri.

Generally speaking, such individuals are very patient but petty.

If you offend the Old Mother of Lishan, you'll only get a gentle poke between your eyebrows.

But he offended the brother of that gentle goddess...

The lion cat shuddered violently.

So he became even more obedient.

He had no choice but to obediently and carefully bite Zhou Yan's hand. Zhou Yan felt that there was indeed a mysterious aura flowing through it, and his own cultivation was faintly surging again.

Taoist cultivation +5.

Zhou Yan felt refreshed and said, "Take another bite!"

"Come again!"

"One more bite, don't you have the strength?"

"Not enough, not enough!"

........................

The white jade lion cat lay there panting, its tongue lolling out, its chest heaving. Looking at the young Taoist priest, it thought that this Taoist priest had something wrong with his head. This was the first time it had ever bitten someone so hard that it had exhausted itself.

Zhou Yan clenched his fist, feeling his cultivation level increase to about 350 years.

However, he also realized that it wasn't the lion cat biting him that brought about the improvement in his cultivation, but rather that the aura and power of this lion cat would trigger Manjushri's Eight Heavenly Dragon Fire. The Eight Heavenly Dragon Fire and Xuanzang's relics would influence each other, and would re-stimulate the power that Zhou Yan had not absorbed when Xuanzang was given the initiation.

These were actually Xuanzang's help.

Zhou Yan thought that this lion cat might have some connection with Buddhism. He reached out and stroked the lion cat's head. The lion cat thought of the request from the Old Mother of Lishan, especially that person's older brother, and obediently let himself be petted.

Zhou Yan placed his hands under the cat's front legs, lifting the cat up so that it became a cat stick.

Master Xiweizi, after perusing the Daoist scriptures, was filled with righteous indignation and still felt somewhat unsatisfied. He came to visit Zhou Yan, though these parts of the Daoist scriptures were merely incidental. What he most wanted to understand was why the local earth god within a thousand miles called Zhou Yan Zhenjun.

A person of the fourth rank can be addressed as a True Person.

True Lord is often used as a title for immortals. He did not think that a mountain lord of an ordinary mountain peak could be so respected by so many local gods, nor did he think that a mountain lord could command local gods to seal the earth veins without performing magic or setting up a shrine.

Something's not right; something's extremely wrong.

This was Xiweizi's main purpose in coming. Besides that, he wanted to discuss further how to deal with the Weaver Girl's killing method, rather than asking if there were any similar Taoist scriptures.

No, absolutely not.

For this reason, he also brought his junior brother Wang Zhenwei with him.

Wang Zhenwei also sighed: "Before my grandmaster came, my Taishanglouguan lineage was also in trouble. Other Taoist sects coveted the original text of the Tao Te Ching, and the Kunlun treasure attracted many mountain gods."

"However, these troubles now seem rather insignificant under the millennia-long arrangements of the great demon Weaver Girl."

Xiweizi stroked his beard and said, "Junior brother, you can't say that so easily."

"Firstly, there are many people who covet the original text of the Tao Te Ching. Although they are weak, they can still be used to spread public opinion, so we cannot be complacent. Secondly, most of the mountain gods attracted by the Kunlun treasure have calmed down because our grandmaster uncle killed the giant spirit general."

"But there are still those who are not afraid of the Giant Spirit General."

“Those powerful figures will not cease their efforts because of the death of the Giant Spirit General; on the contrary, they will be even more eager to try their luck.”

"Among them, Mount Emei, the Nine Elders Cave is the place that governs the seasons."

"Mount Lu, the true official who saves the world with the blue bag of Kuanglu."

"Tianmen Mountain, Chu Yue Tongming Zhenyin True King, these three are the most troublesome."

"Moreover, even if we are in the right, our grandmaster still killed the general under the command of the True Lord of the Western Peak. That True Lord of the Western Peak was originally the strongest mountain god in the entire Western Peak region, which is why he received the imperial edict from the Third Sage and became the Lord of the Western Peak."

"Right now, it's just the presence of the Lord of Mount Tai that has diverted the attention of the True Lord of the Western Peak, but that doesn't mean he's let go of this grudge."

Wang Zhenwei said nonchalantly, "At worst, we'll have a fight."

"When the Dao Ancestor traveled west, how many demons blocked his way? Whether it was the Great Teacher of Virtue, the First Celestial Master, or the Ten Elders of Daotian Valley of Louguan during the time of suppressing Buddhism and preserving Taoism, which generation of renowned Taoist masters did not have countless lives stained with blood on their sword cases?"

"Tranquility and peace are forms of self-cultivation."

"It can't subdue monsters with its mildness, nor can it eliminate external evils with its peacefulness."

"If we want peace, we still need the principles of the sword."

Xiweizi smiled helplessly and sighed, "I used to think the same way you do."

"Then why did you change your mind, senior brother?"

Xiweizi said, "Because of the old Taoist, he became the Taoist master of Louguan."

Different perspectives lead to different views, which in turn necessitates different considerations and reflections.

Wang Zhenwei sighed deeply, while Xiweizi stroked his beard and smiled as he changed the subject, saying, "However, the mountain gods you just mentioned, Junior Brother, are indeed quite capable. Legend has it that there were nine immortals in the Nine Old Caves of Mount Emei, named Tianying, Tianren, Tianzhu, Tianxin, Tianqin, Tianfu, Tianchong, Tianrui, and Tianpeng. "Now that the immortals have departed, the mountain gods of this mountain should not be underestimated."

"Mount Lu, the true official of the Kuanglu Qingnang who saves the world, has a continuous vitality."

"As for Tianmen Mountain, the place where the Chu Yue Tongming Zhenyin Zhenwang resides, it is said to be one of the entrances to Fengdu City. It suppresses both the Yin and Yang realms and naturally possesses extraordinary abilities."

"However, if it were up to me, even these strong individuals might not be able to defeat that one."

Wang Zhen was slightly taken aback, then his expression became somewhat solemn. The broad-shouldered Taoist, who resembled more a martial general or a chivalrous hero than a Taoist priest, whispered the name of that person:

"The Buddhist Wutai Mountain, the branch of the Dailuo Peak Mountain God."

Xiweizi sighed: "Yes, it is an ancient dragon species, the mount of Manjushri Bodhisattva who later studied Buddhism. It is an ancient and unique species. Its cultivation has reached a high level, and it has also obtained the mountain god's earth vein."

"The title of Venerable One—"

"The Immaculate Lion King of the Eight-Petaled Branches, the Envoy of the Tathagata with the Green Snail-Head!"

"In terms of background and methods, this one is no less than those mountain gods."

Holding the eight-sided Han sword, Wang Zhenwei couldn't help but sigh, "The Immaculate Lion King of Eight Leaves."

"I wonder, for what reason did Manjushri Bodhisattva bestow upon him the title 'Immaculate'?"

"Perhaps it's because he cultivated a Buddhist crystal-clear mind?"

Xiweizi smiled nonchalantly: "Who knows?"

"However, our Taoist school cultivates self-discipline and maintains composure in the face of great events."

"How can we become anxious and flustered just because something hasn't happened yet? Where is the composure of a Daoist disciple if we do that?"

"Since the fall of Lord Taishan, the world has been in turmoil and many changes have occurred. Even we ordinary people cannot see clearly. However, at least one thing is clear: we must kill that Weaver Girl demon."

Wang Zhenwei replied, "That's how it should be!"

The two men walked in with calm expressions, but paused slightly after entering the courtyard.

But what I saw was that arrogant god who was known for his explosive temper and who had fought against the patriarchs of Louguan Taoism. At this moment, he was sitting in the shadows in the corner with his arms wrapped around his knees, his eyes vacant, as if he had seen some scene that had shattered his reason.

He seemed to be muttering something to himself.

Even when Wang Zhenwei greeted him, Changshen merely raised his head, glanced at her blankly, and then lowered his head again, muttering, "It's all a dream, yes, yes, it's all a dream."

"I'm definitely still on the battlefield, about to die."

"That's why I dreamt of such a tragic scene."

"That's right, that's it."

"strangeness……"

Xiweizi was slightly puzzled, but he temporarily put that matter aside, composed himself, coughed, pushed open the door, and smiled:

"Master-uncle..."

Xiweizi's smile froze slightly, and Wang Zhenwei's eyes went blank.

One was practicing the profound altar method, and the other was practicing demon-subduing and protection. The two Taoist masters looked over there. The young Taoist with graying temples sat cross-legged on a chair, holding a cat in his hands and raising it up.

The cat's neck fur was very long, with subtle, soft curls, like the topknot on a Buddha's head. Its eyes were special, one like jade and the other golden, and it was meowing obediently.

Wang Zhenwei: "…………"

Hiva: "…………"

The lion cat, who was obediently kneading its paws in the air, saw two real people.

The two people and the cat all fell silent.

Xiweizi and Wang Zhenwei retreated in unison, stepping backward.

Snapped!
They raised their hands and closed the door in unison.

The two stared at each other, dumbfounded. Wang Zhenwei's lips twitched, and he said, "Senior brother, am I seeing things? That's...?"

"Is it the Eight-Leaf Immaculate Lion King?"

Xiweizi took a deep breath, gripped his whisk, and said, "I'm not sure. Let's take another look. Besides, a Daoist disciple should have a firm Daoist heart and remain calm in the face of great events. How can we be so easily swayed?"

"Even if it's a lion, it's not impossible."

“My Taoist grandmaster has his own rules and regulations.”

"Let's go and take a look!"

The two Taoist masters, with unwavering resolve, silently recited profound incantations and opened the door once more.

Seeing the young Taoist priest lift the cat high and begin to observe it, he asked, "I didn't see last time, but are you a male or female cat?"

Hiva: "…………"

Wang Zhenwei: "…………"

The two real people gasped in shock and retreated in unison.

"What do we do now, senior brother?!"

"It's alright, it's alright, it's nothing. We disciples of the Dao should have the supreme Dao heart!"

"Old Taoist, count to three, then you and I will go in together."

"it is good!"

The two Taoist priests, whose combined age was quite advanced, mustered their courage and went in again. When they saw the young Taoist, they finally realized and exclaimed in sudden understanding, "So that's it! You are neither male nor female; you have been castrated!"

"It's a male cat."

Hiva: "…………"

Wang Zhenwei: "…………"

Wang Zhenwei, the old Taoist priest, was filled with awe and thought that his grandmaster was indeed his grandmaster, incredibly powerful. Meanwhile, the old Taoist priest Xiweizi gripped his whisk so tightly that his fingers turned white. Finally, after enduring and enduring, he could no longer hold back and burst into laughter.

He laughed so hard he plopped down on his bottom, bending forward and backward: "Hahaha."

The Eight-Petaled Immaculate Lion King, the Tathagata's Messenger with the Green Snail-Head

Immaculate, immaculate!
"Hahaha, so that's it! It's this Wugou!"

"Pfft hahahaha!"

The lion cat's body froze.
