What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The monks along the way were all very respectful, which left Yanxia confused.

Although, she is a legitimate Taoist priest.

— Zhongli Quan personally confirmed it...

Yan Xia didn't think much about the complicated question of whether she belonged to the Xuanmen or the Buddhist sect. She just wanted to rush to the Iron Lion Temple immediately and have a good "talk" with Xue Shier.

After staying in Kaiyuan Temple for nearly ten days, she had less and less time left. She still had to get two more medicines. If she delayed for a few more days, she would have to prepare for Luo Sushang's funeral.

In the main hall, Abbot Honghai personally received the girl.

Upon seeing her, the abbot exchanged a few pleasantries and then said, "Donor, I see that now that it is Mid-Autumn Festival, the Yin energy between heaven and earth is gradually becoming abundant. I think the black bear monster will choose a good day to cause trouble for Snow Lion."

"Yesterday was the fifteenth day of the lunar month, a perfect time for him to act, but he didn't do anything. Now that it's full, I'm afraid he'll act soon. Benefactor, you can go to the west and wait for him."

Farming depends on the right time, and practicing fighting is similar. Unrighteous monsters and various demons and evil spirits all rely on a breath of turbid yin energy.

On days when the yin energy rises, such as the Ghost Festival and the Mid-Autumn Festival, they will wreak havoc, especially at night.

The girl nodded slightly and said, "Abbot, I'm not familiar with the Black Bear Demon either. What should I do when I get there?"

The abbot thought Yan Xia was worried that she couldn't defeat the black bear monster, so he smiled and said, "Donor, just persuade it. If the black bear monster insists on attacking, you can also do it yourself."

Yanxia gazed slightly ahead.

I understand. Kill the demons and eliminate the evil to prevent future troubles.

Yan Xia asked again, "Abbot, what if the black bear monster doesn't come?"

Abbot Hong Hai: "Donors can use my Dharma name Hong Hai to ask for the precious medicine. As for the details, you can do as you see fit."

Yan Xia: "Okay! I'll set the mountain on fire! Force Xue Shi'er Jun out, knock her unconscious, then go in and steal the precious medicine!"

Abbot Honghai: “…”

The abbot's voice suddenly stopped, and he hurriedly tried to dissuade him, "If it really doesn't work, you can return to the temple. I will teach you a way to harm others."

"Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I can use the dregs of my body to make a life-saving medicine."

Abbot Honghai was talking about the "worst strategy" of using a living person's life to ripen the precious medicine.

Yanxia was very touched by this.

But in fact, she wanted to use herself to ripen the six-leafed flower...

Yanxia left some gold and silver and other things, then packed her luggage and prepared to go to the Golden Pine Forest.

In the main hall, Abbot Honghai sighed slightly.

Monk Daoming dodged and walked into the hall, wondering, "Brother, why didn't you stop that donor? After all, it was a great blessing from the Vajra Saint, so I think he has a connection with our Buddhist sect."

"Then the donor is weak, and if he gets involved in the affairs of the cat-ear thieves in the west, what will he do if he gets hurt?"

Abbot Honghai said, "Since she has comprehended the Vajra Dharma, she must have seen the Bodhisattva in person. Since the Bodhisattva hasn't conveyed his will to us, there must be a reason. We don't need to inquire; we can just let it go."

Monk Daoming: "Brother, you are indeed very wise."

.......

At this moment, at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

A green lion was grinding its teeth against a tree root, and behind it were several Bodhisattvas transformed into mortal men and women, laughing and chatting.

The one walking in front was a Bodhisattva holding a mutton-fat bottle. He smiled and said, "I think it's almost time. We should go east and pass on the staff and robes of the Golden Cicada."

Manjusri Bodhisattva reminded him, “You can also enlighten the monkeys at the foot of the mountain on the way.”

"Why do you think of him?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva slowly shook his head. "Some time ago, I met Zhongli Quan, the founder of the Dan Ding lineage, in the memory world of a destined person. He disguised himself as a woodcutter and enlightened the Great Sage."

"Hey, that naughty monkey has been enlightened for nearly seven hundred years. How come he still has the chance to be enlightened by Zhengyangzi, who attained enlightenment during the Han Dynasty?"

Manjushri Bodhisattva smiled, pinching his fingers, and shook his head, saying, "It's just someone else's memories. True and false, false and true. However, it's a coincidence that my destined person is also a good person of ten lifetimes, a cultivator who has survived ten tribulations. I see that she has no trace in the four continents, so she must have experienced tribulations in the infinite world."

"Practicing for ten lifetimes is truly not easy. It's a pity that the journey to obtain the scriptures has already been decided, so it's not easy for her to have this opportunity."

Manjushri Bodhisattva was about to respond with a sigh, but suddenly lost his composure.

The Bodhisattva holding the mutton-fat bottle asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Manjusri Bodhisattva regretted, "Oh no! I forgot to tell the monks at Kaiyuan Temple in the East to not embarrass my destined lover! Oh no! Zhongli Quan will definitely tease me about this again."

All the celestial beings couldn't help but laugh.

The laughter faded, and Manjushri Bodhisattva returned to his composure. He changed the subject, saying, "Speaking of which, the Heavenly Court is also confused. I wonder which deity presided over the reincarnation of the Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly? They actually forgot to cleanse the countless sins of the reincarnation law, and someone brought an identical one from another world."

The Bodhisattva nearby was surprised and said, "This is truly a serious matter. If the countless sins and filth remain unwashed, then the Dharma will exist in the past, present, and future, not just one. I'm afraid it will cause many disasters."

Another Bodhisattva reminded him, "I remember that this matter was handled by the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li."

The Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing, also known as the Heavenly King Vaisravana, is the Great Marshal of Demon Subduing in Heaven. His name is Li Jing. He has now been reincarnated after experiencing many tribulations and is a general in the lower world.

The Great God of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly has a close relationship with General Li.

He is also known as the Fire Wheel Heavenly King, the Marshal of the Central Altar, and the Third Prince Nezha...

Manjushri Bodhisattva fell silent for a moment.

This dad is too unreliable...

The matter of Lingshan was 18,000 miles away in the East, so Yanxia, who was very excited, naturally would not know about it.

At this moment, she was sending a message to her two maids, preparing to go to the Iron Lion Temple.

Abbot Honghai had told her that Snow Lion wanted the six-leafed flower for the purpose of practicing, so that he could fight against the black bear monster "Xiong Shanjun" who had always been at odds with her.

If Xiong Shanjun really came to cause trouble, then she would come to help Xue Shierjun, do a favor, and ask for the precious medicine. If Xiong Shanjun didn't dare to cause trouble again, then Xue Shier naturally wouldn't have to continue asking for success, and then the precious medicine would become dispensable.

If Xiong Shanjun doesn't come, or Xue Shierjun doesn't give her face, then she will use the Bull Head Dharma Image to snatch it away directly.

Yanxia's plan was simple and crude.

In the golden pine forest, two carriages moved slowly along the forest path.

Yan Xia sat upright in the carriage, silently reciting the Tianxin Method. The state of meditation that was previously vague and very difficult to enter came especially quickly this time.

With her eyes half open and half closed, she could vaguely feel that two patches of yellow buds and white snow were lighting up in front of her, revealing warmth.

He silently chanted a spell again, and an invisible sword energy shot out from his mouth.

——Puala!

In the distance, the bushes under the trees turned into a pile of leaves and dead branches.

Yanxia became alert.

This golden pine forest usually looks peaceful, but no one expected that there would be a formation that conceals the aura in this corner... Fortunately, she had just entered a state of concentration and sensed the abnormality, otherwise she would have been tricked without knowing it.

The world of immortal cultivation is truly dangerous...

A few quarters of an hour later.

The golden sparrow fairy, who had just eaten and drunk her fill, flapped her wings and headed home.

She was very confident in her little nest. As a well-known demon king in the Jinsong Forest, she was good at two things: hiding and running away.

For example, not long ago, she took great pains to set up a Qimen Dunjia formation using dead branches, specifically to hide the grass seeds she had stored for the winter.

In order to hide, she also found dense bushes under the tree as cover.

As soon as the Golden Bird Fairy flew back to her home door, she was stunned to see the bushes broken into pieces under the tree.

“!@＃￥%…Who the hell destroyed the invisibility spell I just set up?”

The Cangzhou Lion Has No Buddha Nature: Chapter 12 [Taking Advantage of the Fire]

Two carriages were moving slowly along the forest path.

Yanxia let the carriage loaded with gunpowder go first, and she rushed all the way to Jinquexianer's residence.

As soon as I arrived, I saw the Golden Sparrow Fairy angrily using magic to move food, cursing as she did so.

Yan Xia couldn't hear clearly, but she was scolding Xue Shi'erjun for having nothing better to do than destroying her formation and saying that he must be trying to steal food again.

Yanxia was thoughtful. It seemed that there was still a grudge between Jinquexian and Xueshierjun.

"Quexian'er!"

"Hey! Why are you here again, a Taoist priest?" Jinque Xian'er flew back a few steps.

"I'm here to ask Quexian for help."

The Golden Bird Fairy leaned back and flew a few steps, but still said:

"Well, this demon king is not a heartless demon!"

The last time she followed Yan Xia to beg for something, she didn't get it and felt a little sorry for Yan Xia.

I ate someone else's horse for nothing and didn't get anything done. This is so unethical.

Then, the Golden Bird Fairy added, "However, I won't do anything like provoking Snow Lion!"

"How could that be?" Yan Xia said seriously, "Mr. Xiong from Wuhe Mountain is coming to cause trouble for Xue Shi'er..."

The Golden Sparrow Immortal's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "Hoohoo! That's despicable! This demon king likes it!"

Yanxia: “???”

What's despicable? Do you understand?

The Golden Bird Immortal flew around the pine tree and asked, "Hurry up and tell me, when are we going to sneak in and steal that stupid cat demon's treasure?"

Seeing Yan Xia remained silent, the Golden Bird Immortal asked in confusion, "Could it be that... Taoist priest, you wanted to take advantage of the fight between the big cat and the others to steal the incense burner she uses for eating? That's so mean! I like it!"

"Why aren't you talking? Are you planning to burn her temple down? That's too wicked. I won't do it."

Yan Xia was speechless and said defensively, "How is that possible? That was my last resort."

"I'm a good person."

Jinquexianer wiped her eyes and rubbed them again.

"I don't think so."

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

Two maids in brocade robes stood in front of the carriage.

Bai Zhu on the left was resting with his eyes closed, one hand on the long sword at his waist. Although his face looked relaxed as usual, every detail of his body showed that his muscles were tense.

Cang Yue on the right was squatting on the ground, poking an ant nest with her finger, and then the ants bit her index finger, causing her to burst into tears due to the pain...

"Look at my hand." Cangyue raised her hand and showed Baizhu her index finger with a red bite mark on it.

Bai Zhu: "...Be serious."

Despite this, Bai Zhu still held Cangyue's fingers and blew on them.

Cang Yue was curious and asked, "Hmm. Miss asked us to wait here. Is she going to set off another thunder?"

"Well...that's the immortals' business, we don't need to ask too much." Bai Zhu shook his head and did not continue discussing this topic.

Demons, ghosts, and magic.

When she was traveling around the world, she was always skeptical about these strange stories. In the words of Confucius, she "respected ghosts and gods but kept a distance from them."

But after following the young lady for the past few months, Bai Zhu didn't know how many times his worldview had been shattered.

Immortals, demons, evil spirits...

As soon as she thought about these things, she began to feel anxious. A mortal being would die if killed, so to protect the young lady, she only needed to kill. But what if the one trying to harm the young lady was a demon?

How to kill demons?

Bai Zhu's back was pressed tightly against the carriage, and only the dozens of cans of "Heavenly Thunder" in the carriage could give her a sense of security.

In the distance, Yan Xia came over and saw Bai Zhu's pale face. She asked with concern, "Sister Bai Zhu, are you feeling unwell?"

Although she was born into a large family in this life, she was born with both her parents orphaned. From childhood to adulthood, Bai Zhu, like an elder sister and a young mother, was always by her side. It was also because of Bai Zhu's devoted protection that Yan Xia did not suffer the same bullying from her elders and younger generations as other orphans.

Bai Zhu, she is the perfect woman to become her mother!

"Not really." Bai Zhuqiang smiled and shook his head.

"Yes. If you have anything that bothers you, you can tell me. I'm always here for you. Sister Bai Shu said that I'm a good listener."
