The copy of the universe from the journey to the west

Chapter 190: Kou Tianshi's teacher Cheng Gongxing, Taoist Lu presents light to Daosheng (asking for monthly ticket)
The scene in front of Lu Chen almost made him unable to hold back his laughter.

Zhou Zhaodi also blushed.

Lu Chen coughed twice, cleared his throat, and said to Xiao: "She is just like this, don't worry about it."

"promise."

Xiao nodded, then looked at the butterfly monster on Zhou Zhaodi's shoulder.

Although her level of cultivation was still too high to tell what the Butterfly Girl had, a butterfly that could appear in this cold winter month was obviously not an ordinary butterfly.

"This is a butterfly from your Blue Crown King butterfly clan." Lu Chen introduced.

Xiao: "Hello, Miss Butterfly."

The butterfly demon replied: "Hello, Sister Xiao, just call me Sister Butterfly."

Xiao smiled and nodded slightly.

Lu Chen couldn't help but glance at the Butterfly Demon. He even called her sister, which meant she had some talent in being a 'bad girl'.

"Xiao, get ready."

Lu Chen said to Xiao again: "This time, I will let you take revenge yourself."

revenge?

Xiao was stunned for a moment, then her eyes lit up and she said excitedly, "Yes, Master."

She has been waiting for this day to come!
Lu Chen did not say clearly when he would take revenge.

But I think it will only take a few days. Wang Lingqi killed a monk from Donglin Temple, which will definitely attract investigation from Donglin Temple.

By that time, without Wang Lingqi in charge of the prefectural office, Zhao Hui, the prefect, would certainly not have to continue living.

"Let's go in and chat."

Lu Chen said to the butterfly demon.

The butterfly demon flew up from Zhou Zhaodi's body, then landed on the ground, and transformed into a girl in colorful clothes.

Her appearance is 70% similar to Zhou Zhaodi.

"Oh! Little butterfly, you can turn into a human!" Zhou Zhaodi shouted excitedly at the butterfly demon.

The butterfly demon smiled and said softly in a timid voice: "I didn't turn into a human, I just used the art of transformation. Taoist Lu should be able to see through my true form, right?"

Lu Chen nodded.

The butterfly demon has not yet transformed. Its current human form is just the result of the art of transformation. If the demons want to truly transform into humans, they must learn the art of transformation or swallow elixirs or something like that.

This is the rule of this world. Not only has the human race's cultivation method been castrated, even the demon race's cultivation method seems to be missing a large part.

Although Lu Chen learned a lot of magic spells in the Journey to the West world, he had never learned the cultivation methods of the demon race.

Xiao took Zhou Zhaodi out to play, and Lu Chen and the butterfly demon took their seats. Lu Chen asked the butterfly demon about the scene in the cave.

"Dongtian, as the name suggests, is actually equivalent to a world."

The butterfly demon recalled her hometown: "Compared to the human world, the cave heaven only lacks the stars in the sky, but other things such as mountains, rivers, and all living things are actually there. Of course, I am talking about Kunlun Cave Heaven. Among the twelve cave heavens, except for the mysterious Hulu Cave Heaven, Kunlun Cave Heaven has the largest area."

Lu Chen compared the Kunlun Cave Heaven described by the butterfly demon with the Shaoyang Cave Heaven described by Zhongli Quan.

Zhongli Quan talked about Shaoyang Cave Heaven, which was completely a world for two people.

Apart from Zhongli Quan, there is Wang Xuanfu. Apart from these two, there is no one else in Shaoyang Cave Heaven.

Each cave heaven is also different from another.

Thinking of Zhongli Quan, Lu Chen couldn't help but feel a little confused. He had been in seclusion for four months, but Zhongli Quan had never appeared once.

Is it necessary for an immortal Taoist to spend so much time just searching Mount Lu?

……

A place with mountains and dangerous peaks.

In the sky, the sun was gray, vague and extremely unreal.

On the ground, there are trees that shade the ground, but strangely, most of the trees are apricot trees.

The dense apricot grove is endless, and the apricot trees are full of apricots.

However, the apricots on these apricot trees are in all kinds of shapes. Some are in bud, some have blossomed into snow, some are full of green apricots hanging from the branches, and some are already ripe. There are also countless ripe apricots that no one picks and they fall to the ground and begin to rot.

It seems that here, every apricot tree has its own ideas, and it will bloom and bear fruit whenever it wants.

And at this moment, two rays of light flew rapidly across the sky.

The person in front was Zhongli Quan, who had a big belly and was holding a palm-leaf fan.

But at this moment, he didn't seem as calm as before, and looked a little weak and nervous.

The palm-leaf fan in his hand was half broken, his face was black, and there was a fist-sized hole on his chest.

If it weren't for his profound Taoist skills, he would have died on the spot.

Behind him was an old man wearing linen clothes and a bamboo hat.

"Zhongli Quan, don't run away. You can't escape. It's better to leave now. If you waste time here, you won't be able to recover."

Although the old man behind him was following very closely, he deliberately just hung behind Zhongli Quan and did not get close.

As long as Zhongli Quan stopped for a moment, he would take out a pitch-black centipede and force Zhongli Quan to continue fleeing.

But as long as Zhongli Quan speeds up, he will immediately catch up with him.

Zhongli Quan naturally knew what he meant.

This is going to exhaust him to death!
Or force him to leave here on his own initiative!

Zhongli Quan turned around and sneered: "Cheng Gongxing, do you think you can win? It is true that I, the Taoist, have been tricked by you, but do you really dare to kill me?"

"With Master Shaoyang here, Cheng doesn't dare to have such an idea."

Cheng Gongxing laughed, his whole body shining with golden light, and he said with a kind face: "Besides, Mr. Zhongli has misunderstood. I have no intention of killing you. It's just that the heaven and earth have already decided who will get this Xinglin Cave Heaven. You are a great god, and if you are here, then no one else can get it except you."

"So if you are in this cave, I cannot open the cave portal and pass on the inheritance. But the root of this cave has been damaged, and it may be destroyed by an accident one day. To be on the safe side, I would like to ask Mr. Zhongli to leave. Your injuries are too severe. You should return to Shaoyang Cave as soon as possible and let the Shaoyang Patriarch help you heal your injuries and recover soon."

"Bah! That's a nice thought! Dong Feng is also crazy. He actually believed you and handed the inheritance key to you, a human evildoer! You colluded with the big monster and devoured the origin of the cave heaven... What conspiracy do you have? What do you want to do?"

Zhongli Quan scolded him repeatedly, and then sneered: "You are really good at scheming. I, the Taoist, really didn't expect that the master of the new Taoist Heavenly Master Kou Qianzhi is actually a Buddhist monk! Moreover, he is a powerful person who understands the three religions of immortality, Confucianism and justice."

Cheng Gongxing pursued slowly and calmly, saying, "I am not a monk, nor am I an immortal or a great scholar. I understand the wonderful teachings of Buddhism and Taoism, but I have only practiced for a period of time. In fact, I am just obsessed with mathematics. As for colluding with the great demon... this is inevitable for the development of heaven and earth. This demon must be born because it is the general trend of heaven and earth. I just don't want Mr. Zhongli to rashly change the general trend, which will cause great changes in our world, just like... the Yin-Yang world."

Zhongli Quan sneered and didn't reply.

Cheng Gong Xingye did not explain too much. He had always been fascinated by mathematics and understood the methods of the other three religions.

But after studying it once, I found that they were all evolved from mathematics.

Any method of spiritual practice has its basis in the order of heaven and earth, and mathematics can explain all the mysteries between heaven and earth!
Of course, no one would believe him no matter who he told it to.

Zhongli Quan didn't believe it either.

What a joke! Cheng Gongxing is using the methods of the three religions, and in the outside world, his disciple Kou Qianzhi is stirring up trouble and plundering the luck of all living beings.

Who would believe that Cheng Gongxing has no ambition?
Oh, maybe Dong Feng of Xinglin Dongtian believed it, but what was the result?

he died!
Until now, the origin of Xinglin Cave Heaven has been completely devoured by the monsters suppressed by the Cave Heaven!
"Lu boy, I don't have time to go out, so you should hurry up."

Zhongli Quan thought silently in his heart.

He cannot leave Xinglin Cave Heaven, even if he dies!

If the big monster in Xinglin Cave Heaven gets hold of the treasure inherited from Xinglin Cave Heaven and escapes, what a huge amount of killing will be caused!
Therefore, he had to hold on and not let Cheng Gongxing carry out his plan with peace of mind.

But one thing is that Cheng Gongxing's purpose is to pass on the inheritance of Xinglin Dongtian to a certain person, not for the sake of the big monster.

Therefore, Cheng Gongxing didn’t care when Xinglin Cave Heaven would be destroyed, and now Xinglin Cave Heaven would not be able to last much longer.

When the time comes, the Xinglin Cave Heaven will inevitably be shattered. By then, the big monster will swallow it up and escape. The entire Jingzhou, and even the entire human world, may become a purgatory on earth!
This is an ancient demon that has been suppressed for nearly ten thousand years and has not yet died!

If it were to come out into the world, Zhongli Quan wouldn't know who could control this peerless monster.

Even his Shaoyang Patriarch may not be able to cure it!
The two of them, each holding their own thoughts, walked away quickly, one in front and one behind.

Just as the two were engaged in a chase in Xinglin Cave Heaven, groups of green gas were quietly appearing beneath a mountain that looked like a long sword inserted into the earth.

Then it disappeared bit by bit, as if it was thrown into another void.

On the other side, a giant green snake was breathing in and out green gas that was slowly flowing out of the void.

……

In Xunyang City.

The heavy snow has stopped, the dark clouds have dispersed, and the sun has come out. The sunlight shines on the white snow, and the reflected light looks like sparkling gems.

As the saying goes, it's not cold when it snows, but it's cold when the snow melts.

In the few days after the snow, the weather was extremely cold and no one wanted to go out.

Lu Chen has been practicing as usual these days. After all, the two inner cores in his body are continuing to generate spiritual energy from heaven and earth.

However, Lu Chen was not in seclusion.

Sometimes I go out.

The situation in Xunyang City has become a little chaotic these days.

The county magistrate's son was killed, and along with him, more than a dozen sons of wealthy families also died.

This is not the end. A senior monk from the Donglin Temple, a monk of the Ming generation, also died there, as well as two little monsters from the monster clan.

Traces of Hu Siniang, the grandmother of the deceased little demon Hu Jiulang, were found at the scene.

This matter was even somewhat related to Wang Lingqi of the Shangqing Sect.

For a time, various forces were ready to move.

The death of the county magistrate's son and others is nothing. What else can they do if they are killed by the demons?
revenge?

They don't have the qualifications, nor the strength!

However, the death of the monks of Donglin Temple and the demon clan is no small matter.

The peace agreement that had been agreed upon by the parties was broken in an instant.

Every day there are cases of monsters killing people in Xunyang City, and Lu Chen will certainly not sit idly by.

Although he let someone else take the blame, after all, the two monsters were killed by his own hands.

Of course, Lu Chen wouldn't be stupid enough to jump out and act as this fool.

His original body was only going to gather information about the Crocodile King and the Green Snake King. As for the monsters in the city, he arranged for several paper man incarnations to deal with them.

His divine power now was enough to control the paper figurine to make it look real, and it was also relatively easy to deal with some demons that had not yet formed a demon pill.

Lu Chen didn't care about Wang Lingqi.

Because someone is coming from Donglin Temple!

Daosheng, Huiyong and Huiguan, three great monks in the Dharma Realm, came together to avenge the dead disciples of the Ming generation.

"We have already found out that it was Wang Lingqi who did it."

In an empty pavilion, Daosheng was talking about the intelligence they had gathered over the past few days.

"Mingzhi was placed under a soul restriction. When his soul was forcibly searched, the restriction backfired and his soul was destroyed. Although Wang Lingqi burned Mingzhi's body with spiritual fire, he didn't know that I have the ability to see destiny."

One of the reasons why Daosheng was arranged by Huibao to go down the mountain was because of his magical power of fate.

Daosheng was the only candidate from Donglin Temple to investigate the case. As for Huiyong and Huiguan, they were here to cooperate with Daosheng to deal with the murderer.

"Haha, if Wang Lingqi knew that you could see fate, he would probably be regretting it now."

Lu Chen said with a smile.

The reason why he left the middle-aged monk Mingzhi to Wang Lingqi was to set a trap for him.

Originally, Lu Chen had never thought that the two sides would become mortal enemies, nor had he thought that Wang Lingqi would use the soul-searching technique.

If Wang Lingqi had been more rational and not performed the soul-searching action, there would have been no problem at all.

But what happened was that Wang Lingqi couldn't resist the temptation and wanted to know more about Donglin Temple. Huibao of Donglin Temple was also a ruthless person, and he placed soul restrictions on even his own disciples.

The combination of these two coincidences created a chemical reaction that even Lu Chen had not expected.

"There's no need to delay this matter. Telling them earlier can also demonstrate your ability."

Lu Chen said: "The sooner we enter the core of Donglin Temple, the sooner we can discover the secrets hidden in Donglin Temple."

"Speaking of secrets, there is one thing that is a little strange."

Daosheng hesitated for a moment, then told the story of the golden light of Guanyin Buddha Lotus, and then asked curiously: "Does the golden light and the flying sword have anything to do with you, Taoist Lu?"

Lu Chen raised his eyebrows.

A flying sword in the shape of a jade sceptre?

You're not referring to the Taibai Jade Gui, are you?
Lu Chen subconsciously glanced at Zifu.

Inside the Purple Mansion, the spirit within Taibai Yugui had been dormant since he had awakened from his retreat, as if it had consumed too much energy and was in the process of recovering.

"There are some."

Lu Chen nodded, opened his right hand, and a ray of golden light came out.

His lower dantian was composed of four forces forming the chaotic energy, but he could also separate the power. However, this method was too troublesome, and the energy consumed was ten times that of the separated power.

But if it's just a wisp, it won't be a problem.

"If it is the same as the golden light in my hand, then it is related to me."

Daosheng stared at the golden Buddha light in Lu Chen's hand with wide eyes, his expression shocked.

He almost knelt down and bowed his head.

same!
It's exactly the same!
The Buddhist music sounded, and the ultimate blissful scene appeared before our eyes.

The next second, the Buddhist music and blissful scene disappeared.

But it was Lu Chen who took the golden light back.

"Sure enough, Taoist Master Lu is the living Buddha!"

Daosheng put his hands together and chanted, "Namo Amitabha."

Lu Chen's expression was calm. He was now immune to the title of the so-called 'living Buddha'.

Besides, Jin Guang is now completely under his control.

The reason why Lu Chen was wary of the golden light of Buddhism in the past was, most importantly, that the golden light of Buddhism was not under his control.

Now that the power belongs to him, Lu Chen naturally will not be afraid.

"You can also take it for research."

The ray of golden light refined by Lu Chen was of little use to him. After it helped him to comprehend the Great Law of One Mind and Three Treasures and the Great Law of Perfection and One Vehicle, it no longer played much of a role in his comprehension.

Daosheng caught the golden light in a panic, and asked in astonishment, "Master Lu, are you giving this treasure to me?"

Lu Chen waved his hand indifferently: "Here you go, I hope it will be of some use to you."

"Thank you very much, Taoist Priest!"

Daosheng was shaking with excitement, and his speech was a little incoherent. He looked at the soft golden light in his hand that was like a small snake swimming around, his eyes were filled with infatuation.

Lu Chen did not go to ask about the Taoist priest, but was just thinking about the golden light from Donglin Temple.

When he tried to subdue the Lantian City God, he used the golden light of Buddhism, but he was not careful and a ray of golden light escaped.

The fact that it is now revealed is probably because the other Buddhist golden lights have been refined by himself, and something has happened to the source. In a hurry, the escaped golden light has also revealed its true appearance.

This was discovered by Taibai Yugui, who was acting as the jailer.

What made Lu Chen a little strange was that it was in Lantian County, which was a thousand kilometers away from here.

Why did that golden light come to Mount Lushan?

Is there something on Mount Lushan that has something to do with it?

After all, Mount Lushan is not the only place in the world where Buddhism flourishes.

To be honest, the city of Chang'an was the source of the prosperity of Buddhism in this era.

Before the establishment of Hu Xia, it was the Later Qin Dynasty, and the rulers of the Yao family, the royal family of the Later Qin Dynasty, all believed in Buddhism.

Kumarajiva, Buddhayasas and Buddhatodara all became known to the world after they became famous in Chang'an.

Even Huiyuan, the founder of Donglin Temple, came to Mount Lushan and established Longquan and Donglin Temples only after he became famous after studying in Chang'an.

Even now, there are many eminent Buddhist monks in Chang'an. The disciples of Kumarajiva and Buddhayasas are basically active in the north.

Donglin Temple is very famous, but it is only famous for its Buddhist chanting lineage and can be regarded as the ancestral temple of this Buddhist chanting lineage.

The holy places for other branches such as observing precepts and sitting in meditation are not in Donglin Temple of Mount Lu.

There were 480 temples in the Southern Dynasties, and that was the grand occasion decades later.

The current situation is that Buddhism is much more prosperous in the north than in the south.

For this purpose, the Northern Wei Dynasty even specifically supported Kou Qianzhi, the founder of the Taoist New Tianshi Dao, and made the New Tianshi Dao he founded prosper, in order to specifically check and balance the Buddhist forces in the north.

So if we talk about the affinity with Buddhism, it must be in the north, not in the south.

Unless, there was something in Mount Lu or Donglin Temple that attracted the golden light of Buddhism and made it come all the way from Chang'an?

"The two worlds are different, and the level of the Buddhist golden light is very high. Judging from the reactions of the monks in Donglin Temple, they also treat the Buddhist golden light as the highest treasure."

Lu Chen thought about it and put the question aside for the time being. He woke Daosheng up from his fascination with the golden light and said, "You and Huiyong and Huiguan are going down the mountain together. Are you going to solve the problem completely?"

Daosheng carefully put away the golden light, calmed down, and shook his head slowly: "If we want to solve it completely, I'm afraid Huibao will need to come down the mountain in person. Our main goal is to deter those who are ready to make a move and stop for a while. Of course, it would be best if we can capture Wang Lingqi. If not, it would be best to expel him from Xunyang City."

There are not many high-ranking monks in the Dharma Realm in the Donglin Temple, only five, and there are only three high-ranking monks in the Dharma Realm in the White Lotus Society.

Together, they are eight high monks in the Dharma Realm.

If it were placed in the world of Journey to the West, this force would definitely be very strong. There would not be such a number of Dharma Realms in the general immortal inheritance.

But this world is different. One can use the divine position to forcibly improve one’s cultivation level.

Moreover, Buddhism has also been castrated. Although the Dharma Realm can also condense the Dharma Realm, the Dharma Realm here is very weak.

In addition, Buddhism does not have many methods of fighting except for some of its own supernatural powers.

For example, Daosheng, his strongest and most mysterious power is the power of destiny. Other abilities such as flying and escaping are all small tricks that he has realized by relying on the attributes of his own magic power.

This is because he is a Zen practitioner, just like the Taoist meditation practitioners, so his combat power is relatively strong.

As for the lineage of chanting Buddha's name, their own power is not their own, but given by the "Buddha" in the dark, so if they fight against the normal Dharma realm, they will be like sending food to the enemy.

The most obvious example is the first battle between Wang Lingqi and Hui Yong.

Wang Lingqi had just been promoted to Yuanshen, but beating Hui Yongjiu was like beating a noob.

Generally speaking, when a normal Taoist spirit fights against a Buddhist spirit, a one-on-one fight will easily defeat the weakling; when one fights two, it can even end in a tie; but when one fights three, he will be at a slight disadvantage.

As for the tradition of keeping precepts, there is no need to say more.

As long as the precepts of the lineage of precepts are broken, it is equivalent to breaking the Buddhist Dharma of the lineage of precepts.

The Buddhism in this world is far inferior to the Buddhism in the world of Journey to the West in the fighting series.

The same is true. Although Donglin Temple is a powerful force in Lushan, it cannot control all places.

In Xunyang City alone, there are three Yuanshen Zhenren and a great demon at the Jindan stage, namely, King Lingqi, Crocodile King, and Green Snake King.

Even if other cities are not as good as Xunyang City, they are probably not much different.

Only if there were two or three times more high-level monks in the Dharma Realm in Donglin Temple could the situation be completely under control.

After all, Donglin Temple is not as good as the Taoist Tianshi Dao that is spread all over the world.

Tianshi Dao has a history of hundreds of years. Since the time of Zhang Ling, there have been eight generations of Tianshi.

Donglin Temple was built only more than fifty years ago.

In a word, it’s not a lack of foundation. The reason why so many things can be done in Xunyang City is because of the Longquan Temple here.

As the ancestral temple founded by Huiyuan, Xunyang City has always been the inherent location of Donglin Temple.

This is also the reason why Donglin Temple is particularly concerned about Xunyang City.

"Wang Lingqi is an unruly person who bears grudges. He is not so easy to deal with."

Lu Chen folded a few paper figures out of yellow paper and said, "Wang Lingqi is a cultivator of the Shangqing Sect. Although his cultivation is not the true teaching, it is also the top-level method. He belongs to the talisman school and must be good at the art of talismans. However, in these battles with Donglin Temple and monsters, he has not used any talismans. He is hiding his abilities."

Daosheng nodded slowly and thought: "Then these few fights with us are actually a disguised way of making a deeper impression on us, so that we can be dealt a heavy blow in the final battle."

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

Lu Chen took out a folded paper figure, then opened his mouth and blew, and a stream of pure yang energy entered it.

The paper man suddenly transformed into a strong man in armor.

The sturdy man clasped his fists and said in a rough tone: "The demon general greets the master!"

Lu Chen said: "Go, find Liu Yuanjing and tell him that we are meeting old friends."

"promise!"

The sturdy man then turned into a streak of white light and disappeared from the spot.

"Master Lu's talisman skills are probably not inferior to those of the Heavenly Master."

Daosheng, who was standing by, personally saw how Lu Chen created a paper man. When the aura of the paper man took shape, its level was no lower than that of an ordinary mage-level practitioner: "I'm afraid the legendary Yellow Turban Warrior is just like this, right?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "I still can't compare to him. The Yellow Turban Warrior is a real magic soldier. I don't know the art of magic soldiers. This is just a paper figurine technique."

This is true. The Yellow Turban Warriors are all magic soldiers that have been raised, just like the magic weapon altar that Kou Qianzhi used when he went to the Louguan Sect, which raised magic soldiers similar to the Yellow Turban Warriors.

Basically, they are made from real ghosts, can move freely, and have higher intelligence than his paper figures.

Of course, if the art of paper-cutting into human form is practiced to a high level, the paper figures made will not be much inferior to the Yellow Turban Warrior.

However, at that stage, one would just rely on one's cultivation to bully others.

Daosheng did not ask too much about this matter, but instead asked: "Master Lu, why do you want to look for Liu Yuanjing? Although he is the head of the Xiangyang Liu family and an innate warrior, it is not appropriate for the court to interfere in this matter, right?"

Lu Chen smiled: "Sometimes, the power erupted by mortals will make even immortals look at it. Liu Yuanjing is not the point. The point is King Jiangxia above him. King Jiangxia is unwilling to care about Xunyang's affairs, because Xunyang is nominally under the jurisdiction of Jiangzhou, but King Jiangxia is a prince with real power. If he wants, Wang Lingqi will not confront him head-on. Besides, I just want Liu Yuanjing to say a few good words to Wang Lingqi in front of King Jiangxia. If Shangqing Sect wants to develop, it also needs to rely on the dynasty, unless it wants to be a hermit, but is Wang Lingqi such a person?"

Daosheng suddenly realized.

Will Wang Lingqi become a hermit?

Definitely not!
He even wanted to achieve the same success as Kou Qianzhi in the north.

This is a cultivator with great worldly desires, so when a powerful prince invites him, Wang Lingqi will only be ecstatic instead of choosing to refuse.
