No taboos in the world

Chapter 500: Water and Land Ceremony, the final main mission
There are Buddhists monitoring the Five Elements Mountain at all times.

Therefore, Hong Chen really couldn't say anything, not to mention that he was just a mortal now.

"Five hundred years are almost up." Hong Chen said suddenly while biting a piece of bread.

Sun Wukong paused chewing, then nodded slightly: "Yes."

Hong Chen looked at him, and he also looked at Hong Chen.

Two pairs of eyes, staring at each other.

They seemed to have caught a glimpse of something in each other's eyes.

Then the man and the monkey suddenly laughed, and then continued eating calmly.

Hong Chen: The Great Sage is not so easy to subdue, but the five hundred years in prison has taught him how to disguise himself. Maybe he is looking for an opportunity to give Tathagata a blow?

Wukong: This brother is indeed not an ordinary deity. I, Sun, see unruly, rebellious and ambitious in his eyes. Maybe he really wants to be the Jade Emperor?
Hong Chen/Wukong: I can help him!
After the meal, Hong Chen asked him to wait patiently, and then he rode Garuda back home.

He landed outside the village and asked Garuda to go find food while he walked home.

On the way, I met many fellow villagers who were traveling to Chang'an City. Upon asking, I found out that Chang'an City was holding a water and land ceremony that day, and everyone was busy rushing to participate in praying and making requests.

Hong Chen then knew that Li Shimin's soul had been taken to the underworld, where he had seen the eighteen levels of the underworld and the two brothers he had killed at the Xuanwu Gate. He must have been very frightened, and after being guided by others, he asked the Buddhists to hold a water and land ceremony to liberate the dead soul.

How could a mortal emperor not panic in the face of these schemes? How could he see through them? Even if he saw through them, what could he do?

The villagers also called Hong Chen to go with them, but he had already lost interest in watching the fun.

Instead of wasting time listening to Xuanzang preach his Buddhist teachings, it would be better to take the big yellow ox at home to plow the fields, because the time for sowing is approaching.

Since you're going to be a mortal, you might as well do it thoroughly.

After saying goodbye to everyone, Hong Chen went home, picked up the farm tools, and led the big yellow cow to the field.

Searching for the scattered memories in his mind, in a short while, he was driving the big yellow ox to plow the field.

It’s true that this is a skill that requires experience. If you’re not a bit smart, you probably won’t be able to master it so quickly.

It's just that the human body gets tired quickly.

A few hours later, he leaned against the edge of the field, panting, drinking from the kettle in his hand. The big yellow ox was also not far away, drinking water from the ditch with its head down.

The sun was high in the sky, making the temperature scorching hot, and cicadas were chirping all around.

Only when the wind blows can it bring a hint of coolness, and such moments make people cherish them even more.

Hong Chen suddenly thought that he could not remember the last time he enjoyed the natural breeze. It seemed that after he had successfully cultivated his internal energy, he could hardly feel hot or cold.

So, does this mean missing out on a lot of feelings and scenery?

Covering his face with a straw hat, he closed his eyes, intending to take a nap to get through the hottest noon.

moment.

When he was half asleep, he suddenly felt a flash in his vision, and then he sat up abruptly.

[Main quest: The journey to the West is about to begin, and Buddhism is about to flourish. This is the last great catastrophe and prosperity before the end of the Dharma. Everything that happens here will profoundly affect the direction of the future three thousand worlds.

You can crack the Buddhist calculations, break the trend of Buddhism's rise, and allow Xuanmen to continue to remain invincible; you can also help Buddhism, discuss the grand event together, and share the fruits of victory.

You can also stay away from the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects and gain benefits as an independent person during the catastrophe, but in this way you will inevitably be targeted by both the Xuanmen and Buddhist sects.

You can also do nothing and wait for the journey to the west to end without any cause and effect.

However, when the false is made to appear true, the true becomes false; when the non-existent is made to appear present, the existing becomes non-existent.

Your choices and actions will profoundly affect your future path.

Note: This is the last main quest. When the Journey to the West ends, all main quests will be settled together.

The guaranteed reward for this main quest: Daluo's right arm is completely fused. 】

At this moment, Hong Chen was completely stunned and almost forgot to breathe.
A frog suddenly jumped into the water, and the splashing water hit his cheek, waking him up with the cool feeling.

He stood up and walked to the ditch, scooped up some cold water to wash his face, and finally immersed his entire head in the water and made eye contact with the little fish swimming in the water.

Looking up, he saw water splashing everywhere. He sat down on the edge of the field again, staring in a daze at the big yellow cow grazing.

Beforehand, he had guessed a lot about the contents of the main storyline of Journey to the West, and the one he had the best grasp of was that he would destroy Buddhism's Journey to the West and ruin its prosperity.

Because isn’t that what time travelers do?
A relatively low-probability event is to let him help Buddhism flourish, because some time travelers do not follow the ordinary path, and after joining Buddhism, they take advantage of the prosperity to improve themselves, which is not a bad choice.

But he never thought that he could freely choose Taoism or Buddhism, and do whatever he wanted with an independent identity, or even stay out of it and ignore it.

Secondly, he never expected that this would be the last main mission.

In the end, he never expected that his right arm was actually an arm from Daluo.

Which Golden Immortal is so kind that he is willing to give me his arm?
Needless to say, there must be some calculation behind this that is difficult to understand at the moment.

After thinking for a moment, Hong Chen took a deep breath, suppressed the doubts that kept arising in his mind, and focused his attention entirely on the main issue at hand.

Since the content of the final main mission was completely free, he didn't need to painstakingly arrange anything.

Instead of racking your brains to figure out how to participate now, it is better to calm down and wait for a breakthrough.

If one achieves the status of a Golden Immortal, with an immortal golden nature, even if one encounters danger, one will not be killed instantly.

And after the breakthrough, you can also plan to complete all other main tasks that have been completed, and finally take advantage of Daluo's right arm.

As a farmer, there is only one sentence you need to keep in mind:

Sharpening your knife will never stop you from chopping wood!
Thinking of this, he gathered his spirits, stood up, patted the big yellow ox's butt, and continued plowing the field.

evening.

I rushed home as the sun set, fed the big yellow cow with fodder, and then made a fire to cook.

After eating and taking a shower, he crossed his legs on the bed as usual.

Although it is impossible to activate qigong, basic breathing exercises can also help the body recover.

Moreover, as a mortal now, recalling the great principles that I have comprehended in the past, I feel as if everything seems fresh after a complete change of perspective.

But mortals are mortals after all, and before long, Hong Chen fell asleep.

The next day.

The village rooster woke him up.

I rubbed my eyes and moved my body, only to feel sore all over.

After washing my face, there was a knock on the gate.

It turned out that the neighbor next door specially sent him a statue of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"I'm telling you, you missed out on a lot by not going yesterday. Did you know that we saw the real Guanyin Bodhisattva yesterday? Take this statue and place it in your house to worship it. I guarantee that you will have smooth sailing and be protected from disasters and evil spirits in the future!"

The other person stuffed her directly into Hong Chen's arms, gave him a few more instructions, and then turned and left.

Hong Chen looked at the statue of Guanyin blankly for a long time, and suddenly laughed.

"I dare to worship, do you dare to accept it?"

The words fell.

The Buddha statue cracked with a snapping sound and shattered into pieces in an instant.

After cleaning, Hong Chen ate a piece of bread and led the big yellow cow out.

The fields were not plowed yet yesterday.
