Myths and Dharma, starting from Erlang Shen

Chapter 479 Lu Shang: It’s time to take back my honor!

"Your three uncles are in front of you. Go over and pay your respects."

Taiyi Zhenren sat on the nine-headed lion and spoke to the young man beside him.

"Yes." The young man nodded, looking a little well-behaved. Until the distance got closer and he saw Ji Ren and Zhang Jingshou, the corners of his mouth suddenly raised.

Yo, you two are here too.

very good!

In that case, it's my turn to pretend!
It's time to show real skills!

The two auspicious clouds slowly approached, and Zhang Jingshou also discovered the other party. He opened his eyes wide and almost shouted out, "Oh my God, why is this guy here too?"

The auspicious cloud approached, and after Taiyi Zhenren and Yun Zhongzi and the other three immortals greeted each other, they pointed at the young man beside them and said, "This is my new disciple, Lu Shang, who has condensed the image of Nezha. I am honored to meet your three uncles."

The young man, Lu Shang, saluted towards the three immortals Yun Zhongzi, and at the same time secretly raised his eyebrows towards Ji Ren and Zhang Jingshou.

"This is Junior Brother Yu Ding's new disciple, Ji Ren, the third-generation chief of the Chan Sect appointed by our master. And this is my new disciple Zhang Jingshou. And this girl is Ji Ren's Taoist partner." Yun Zhongzi introduced.

Ji Ren immediately stepped forward and saluted.

He is one of the only two Daluo in the Chan sect. He saves the dying and the wounded and supervises reincarnation. If anything happens in the future, this big man must be contacted.

“He has passed the Purple Sky Tribulation and opened up a divine eye unprecedented in history. He is a genius.” Taiyi Zhenren looked at Ji Ren and smiled slightly. He waved his whisk and a green lotus emitting fairy light fell and floated on Ji Ren.

"Thank you, Uncle Master." Ji Ren said gratefully. Although he didn't know what it was, something bestowed by a master like Taiyi Zhenren must be extraordinary.

When Zhang Jingshou saw this, he raised his head and looked at Taiyi Zhenren eagerly, "Where's mine?"

Looking at Zhang Jingshou's performance, Taiyi Zhenren smiled slightly, waved the whisk in his hand, and two green lotuses fell, one on Zhang Jingshou and the other on Guan Yan.

Zhang Jingshou and Guan Yan all bowed.

Afterwards, the four immortals of Taiyi Zhenren led Ji Ren and others into Biyuan Mountain, and took Ji Ren and others to pay a visit to the other immortals who had already arrived.

The atmosphere was generally harmonious, except for Master Huanglong, who smiled when he saw Ji Ren and the other three. He rubbed Zhang Jingshou and Lu Shang's heads without any hesitation and said, "I didn't expect that you two would join my Chan Sect. Not bad, not bad. My careful cultivation of you has paid off!"

Zhang Jingshou and Lu Shang looked at each other with resentment and endured it.

"By the way, you two little guys don't know much about the Three Realms. Junior Brother Ji, take them down with you and introduce the Three Realms to them. This will also save you little guys from being annoyed by watching us old guys chatting." Zhenren Huanglong said with a smile.

“Uncle-master, could you please change your title and remove the “small” in front?” Ji Ren said weakly.

Junior-Junior ...Xiaoji? If you don’t know, you might think it’s Junior-Junior-Xiaoji.

“Then change your name to Junior-Junior Brother Xiaoren?” Zhenren Huanglong looked at Ji Ren and said with a joking smile.

"The disciple retire."

Jiren quickly lowered his head.

Seeing Ji Ren's reaction, Master Huanglong burst into laughter without any image, and the other masters also smiled.

Ji Ren led the three people out of the cave, and then found a secluded place in Biyuan Mountain. Without outsiders, the four people immediately relaxed. Zhang Jingshou put his arm around Lu Shang's shoulders and said with a smile: "After you and I separated, what happened in the secret realm? Why did you become my disciple?"

"It was just a very common encounter, fighting all the way. Then I accidentally fell into a secret realm, and saw a Dharma image with three heads and eight arms. Although it was not three heads and six arms, it should be similar. So I killed all my competitors and looked for this Dharma image! Later, when I came out, I met my current master. He seemed very powerful, so I became his disciple." Lu Shang said.

When entering the Heavenly Road, Ji Ren told him that the three-headed and six-armed Mie Ba was extremely powerful, so he paid special attention to it but didn't find it.

Three heads and eight arms. Just imagine if there were two more arms, he would be even more powerful.

“It’s not that he looks powerful, but he is really powerful. And your appearance can be called the most filial son in the Three Realms.” Ji Ren explained on the side, but he forgot that Nezha in the Investiture of the Gods is not the traditional three-headed and six-armed figure, but a three-headed and eight-armed figure.

He's not even a child, but a giant of 16 feet tall.

"How 'filial'?" Upon hearing this, Lu Shang's eyes suddenly lit up. If this was said by someone else, it might be a true filial piety, but it was different when it came from Ji Ren's mouth.

"Your Dharma image is the reincarnation of Lingzhuzi, a treasure in Yuxu Palace. You were born in the womb of Li Jing's wife, the general of Chentangguan, after a gestation period of three years and six months. Only seven years after your birth, you caused trouble in the East China Sea, stepped on the Dragon Palace, beheaded Yaksha, killed the third dragon prince, and skinned and pulled out his tendons. Finally, the four dragon kings came out together and besieged the Li family. Nezha had no choice but to cut his bones to return to his father and his flesh to return to his mother. After that, your soul floated to Taiyi Zhenren's cave. Taiyi Zhenren cast a spell for him and asked his mother to build a temple and set up a statue for him. The statue was worshipped by tens of thousands of people and absorbed the power of incense to return to life. But when his father Li Jing found out, he was afraid that the court officials would report him for pretending to descend the evil god, so he destroyed the golden body and ruined Nezha's way to return to life. Finally, Taiyi Zhenren incarnated Nezha in a lotus to return him to life. The first thing Nezha did after returning to life was to hunt down Li Jing, killing him so that Li Jing had no way to go to heaven or enter the earth." Ji Ren said.

"Good kill!" Lu Shang clapped his hands excitedly upon hearing this;
"Kill you? What a bastard! I've returned your body to you, but you still want to cut off your hope of coming back to life." Zhang Jingshou cursed when he heard this. At this moment, he felt that his father was a saint!

I secretly swore in my heart that I would not be angry with him on the first day after we met again!

"Li Jing? Is it related to Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty?" Guan Yan asked curiously.

"It is somewhat similar to the relationship between your current Dharma Guan Sheng Emperor and your ancestor Guan Yu." Ji Ren said. Guan Sheng Emperor is the deification of Guan Yu, this is indisputable.

However, Li Jing and Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King Li Jing are somewhat different.

Li Jing was very awesome, but people did not directly deify Li Jing, a famous general of the Sui and Tang dynasties. Instead, people took part of the Vaisravana among the Four Heavenly Kings and added Li Jing's image to create a brand new Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King.

"Is that the Tang Dynasty's military god Li Wancheng about to condense?" Guan Yan said.

“It’s possible.” Ji Ren said.

"Isn't it said that there is a natural connection between Dharma images? If Lu Shang condenses the Dharma image, is it possible for Duke Wen to succeed?" Zhang Jingshou asked curiously.

"That's possible." Ji Ren said after thinking about it.

In The Investiture of the Gods, Li Jing's weapon is the Fang Tian Hua Ji, which is quite similar to Lu Bu's.

And to be honest, the battle record of the Pagoda-Bearing Heavenly King in mythology is a bit unmatched by the battle record of Li Jing in reality.

Li Jing, the military god of the Tang Dynasty, can be called the most boring military god. Like other military gods in history, some were born in humble circumstances and suffered humiliation under the crotch, some had great military achievements but were abandoned after their death, some achieved success at a young age but died young, and some had unfulfilled ambitions and suffered from internal strife...

It may be unpleasant or exciting, but it always makes people talk about it with relish.

Only this one, who was born into the Longxi Li family and whose uncle was the famous Sui Dynasty general Han Qinhu, had a smooth first half of his life, and lived peacefully until he was 46 years old. He discovered that his immediate superior Li Yuan was rebelling, and then he was forced to follow him when he failed to report him. After that, he began to really show his skills when he was fifty years old, destroying Xiao Xian, pacifying Fu Gong Ju, conquering Jie Li Khan, and defeating Fu Yun Khan.

One person destroyed four countries, and the speed was very fast. The fastest one took two months.

Wasting national strength and logistics?
nonexistent.

His basic skills are to be able to predict the enemy's outcome before the battle and to be well-targeted during the battle. Countless famous generals have flashes of inspiration and ideas that are worthy of praise and spread.

Attack, destroy the enemy, and destroy the country.

The process was so boring that it lost interest, as if anyone could win the game.

Not a single ripple.

Moreover, the meritorious officials retired and enjoyed their old age.

It can be said to be the best life of an ancient famous general.

The legendary Li Jing didn't even dare to see his son because he didn't have a tower in his hand.

In this regard, Lu Bu still has hope, after all, he has both wins and losses.

"This is possible for you, but it's the same as impossible?" Lu Shang complained.

"You kid, come and get a beating. I just went to the fairyland earlier than you, but I don't know everything." Ji Ren said unhappily.

"Ha~"

Hearing that Ji Ren was going to beat him up, Lu Shang immediately puffed out his chest proudly and said, "Do you think this is still the mortal world? Let me tell you, I have now condensed the appearance of an immortal. My master gave me the golden elixir, and I am now extraordinary. I will definitely become an immortal within ten years, and I will definitely become a true immortal within a hundred years. By then, you may not be able to beat me."

"Oh? It takes ten years to become an immortal, and a hundred years to become a true immortal. That's amazing. Young Master Lu is going to sweep the world and become the number one genius in Da Qi." Ji Ren looked at Lu Shang's proud look and flattered him exaggeratedly.

"That's right, just watch and see how I snatch the honor of the number one genius of Da Qi from you. When the time comes, I will protect you!" Lu Shang put his hands on his hips, with an expression that showed he was so awesome.

Thinking back to when he was on earth, he was clearly a genius, but next to Ji Ren, he had the illusion that he was a waste.

Now, things change over time. I, Lu Shang, am going to be rich!

I have grown strong, and with growth comes change.

"Okay, I'm looking forward to that day. Although it will take you a hundred years to become a True Immortal, and I'm already at the seventh level of True Immortal now. It only took me three years to become an immortal, and then another year to become a True Immortal. It took me six years to reach the seventh level of True Immortal, and now I can fight against Xuan Immortals. But these are just small gains on the road to cultivating immortals and are not worth mentioning. I believe that you, Young Master Lu, will definitely become a True Immortal in a hundred years, catch up with and surpass me!" Ji Ren patted Lu Shang on the shoulder.

Hearing Ji Ren's words, the smile on Lu Shang's face disappeared instantly, and he looked at Ji Ren with an expression of disbelief, "You are a devil!"

Seventh level of True Immortal?

We have only been apart for seven years!
I thought I was already very awesome for advancing from the earthly realm to the extraordinary realm, but you told me that you advanced from the extraordinary realm to the seventh level of True Immortal.

Have we really only been apart for seven years?
Isn't it said that cultivation becomes more difficult as you advance higher?

Why did you break through faster than me?
"come on."

Ji Ren watched as Lu Shang continued to cheer him up and laugh, but why didn’t he laugh anymore? Was it because he wasn’t a person who liked to laugh?
