No taboos in the world

Chapter 503: One Hundred Twelve Nine Thousand Six Hundred Tribulations
"That woman is not a kind person. You will never be able to defeat her with your mind. It is better for you to leave her and become my disciple."

"You are joking, madam. Between a master and a disciple, how can there be no such thing as an undefeated opponent?"

"Humph, I think you don't know what's good for you. She demoted you to a mortal because she didn't want you to interfere with the spread of Buddhism to the East, but she refused to say it directly and said it was for your own good. Don't you think she is hypocritical?"

"Master is a great power, and I am just a small immortal. I think Master has his own considerations on this matter, and as a disciple, I just need to obey."

Seeing that Empress Pingxin's expression was getting uglier, Hong Chen quickly added:
"Your Majesty, you can tell me this, I am deeply grateful! In addition, Your Majesty used the precious Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk to help me hone my skills and make breakthroughs. I have nothing to repay you for. From now on, if Your Majesty has any wishes, Hong Chen will do his best to fulfill them for you!"

Silence is the underworld at this moment.

Hong Chen held his breath and waited intently.

for a long time.

"Hehe, remember what you said today."

Hong Chen immediately responded: "I will keep it in mind and never forget it!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the world changed and Hong Chen had returned to the small courtyard outside Chang'an City.

Because no one had been there for a long time, a lot of weeds grew in the yard and a lot of dust gathered in the house.

He waved his hand to clear away the weeds and dust, and opened the gate. The neighbor heard the sound and quickly went out. When he saw him, he said, "Hey, you're finally back. Where have you been these days?"

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Something happened suddenly, so I went on a long trip."

The man breathed a sigh of relief, then complained, "It's not a big deal to go on a long journey, but you should at least take care of your family. At the very least, you should tell me so that your big yellow cattle won't starve to death."

Only then did Hong Chen remember that there was a living creature in his home.

Just as he was about to go and see, the man called him back and said, "I brought the big yellow cow to my house to feed it. You can take it away."

Hong Chen paused and smiled.

"Give it to you."

The man was stunned, then frowned: "Don't be silly, I know His Majesty has given you a lot of money, but you will have to start a family and career in the future, and there are many places to spend money. If you start to be lazy now and even ignore the fields and livestock at home, how will you make a living in the future when the family is depleted?"

Hong Chen smiled and walked forward and patted his shoulder: "Let's not talk about me first, let's talk about you, how many people are there in your family?"

The man raised his eyebrows and said with a little pride: "My mother is still alive, my wife is capable, and I have an obedient daughter! Hey, I'm not bragging to you, but life with family, even if it's a little tiring, is still a god's life compared to being alone."

"Really?"

"Of course! Although my mother is old, she is still able to move, and she helps us take care of the children. My wife is the most capable and the best at managing the household. Look at our house, if it weren't for her, it wouldn't have been built. Besides, my daughter, although she is young, has been very obedient and well-behaved since she was old enough to understand, and her appearance is getting cuter and cuter."

"What else do you wish for?"

"A wish?" The man glanced at him, put his hands behind his back, and whispered, "You look like you have some knowledge. Have you read books?"

Hong Chen nodded: "I have read some of it."

"Then let me ask you, don't scholars have a saying that goes, 'There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants'?"

Hong Chen glanced at him and said, "Yes, what? Don't you like your daughter anymore?"

"nonsense!"

The man glared, "I love it so much! I think our life is good now. If we have another child, it will be an extra burden for the family and everyone will have a hard time. But my wife doesn't think so. She insists on having another boy, saying that he can carry on the family line. I said it's unnecessary, and she quarreled with me. She even said something like "The worst of the three unfilial acts is not having a successor." I don't understand, why can't a daughter be considered a successor?"

As he was speaking, a woman came out with a bamboo basket on her left hand and a little girl with pigtails on her right hand.

The man grinned and the woman glared at him.

After the woman walked away, the man whispered, "Look! We had a fight last night."

Hong Chen laughed: "Actually, 'There are three unfilial acts, and the worst is to have no descendants' is not explained this way."

"Oh?"

"Mencius's point is: There are many unfilial behaviors, but not fulfilling the duties and responsibilities of the younger generation is the greatest unfilial behavior."

The man thought about it and nodded heavily: "That makes sense!"

"Where is your wife going?"

"She went to worship the gods. She heard from others that Emperor Xuanling was very powerful, so she started preparing things a few days ago. She went to worship today, hoping that Emperor Xuanling would give her a son."

It is said that ever since the temples of Emperor Xuanling have sprung up all over the world, they have taken away a lot of business from Guanyin, the Goddess of Childbirth. Will Guanyin Bodhisattva come to cause trouble for him?

"Then why did she bring your daughter with her?"

"My daughter also said she wanted a younger brother."

Hong Chen paused and said, "This is too simple. Do you have any other wishes?"

The man came back to his senses and looked at him with a strange expression: "Why are you asking me this?"

"Now that I have money, I feel like I have lost my goal, so I want to see what your ideals are, maybe I can find the direction for my future efforts."

"That won't do! You say you are rich, but are you richer than those high-ranking officials? Their money will eventually run out, so how long can your money last? Besides, your family doesn't have as much land as I do. If you really don't know what to buy, just go buy some land and store it up. If you can't finish it all by yourself, you can rent it out to others..."

"Hey, hey, hey, brother, now I'm not talking about me, I'm talking about you."

The man rolled his eyes at him and said, "Okay, my wish is to live to old age without any illness or disaster. It would be best if I could watch my daughter get married, and then play with my grandchildren, or even great-grandchildren, in the future. That would be the best."

"That's it?"

"What are you talking about? This is not simple!"

"Okay, is there anything else?"

"Other things... good weather and good harvests every year count? That way I can save more money, and maybe even let my daughter go to school."

"Okay. Anything else? Tell us together."

Perhaps Hong Chen's interest was aroused by the man, who laughed, put his arm around his shoulders, and talked about a lot of beautiful expectations for his future life.

Most of it is about home and family, and a little bit is about himself.

Hong Chen wrote them down one by one.

the end.

"Very good, all your wishes will come true." "Hehe, then I'll take your good words!" The man cupped his hands and said, "I've finished talking about me, now let me talk about you!"

"Me? What are you talking about me? What do I have to say? Oh, I'm still boiling water on the stove. I won't say anymore. Let's talk later!" Hong Chen went straight home.

Man: "Take your cow first!"

"I really give it to you!"

Bang!
The courtyard door is closed.

The man called a few times but got no response, so he stretched his neck and yelled, "You can lead the dog yourself later, I won't feed it for you!"

Hong Chen sat at home, laughing happily.

After chatting with this man for a while, he felt that the 129,600 reincarnation tribulations he had experienced in the Six Paths of Reincarnation seemed even more painful.

Fortunately, he has already refined the Dao Sword, which can cut off the dust on his Dao heart at any time and absorb all negativity.

Otherwise, they would develop inner demons like some gods and bring disaster to the world.

This experience also made him more cautious and respectful of Haotian.

With so many samsara tribulations, even a piece of stubborn stone would probably have moments when its heart is shaken.

The fact that Haotian was able to return to the throne of Heavenly Emperor intact shows how strong his character is and how profound his cultivation is.

Well, Haotian and I are both great.

At this time, the Red Dust Sword had also turned from blazing white to blazing red because it had accompanied him through the tribulation.

Now the sword spirit is concentrating on absorbing and refining the negative energy to strengthen itself, which can be regarded as satisfying her long-cherished expectation. However, according to Hong Chen's calculation, these negative energy will only be enough for her to refine for two or three months, after all, she has already added two innate restrictions.

However, no matter how great the suffering and disaster you have experienced, it will all be worth it when you see the true spirit and immortal soul overflowing with immortal golden nature.

Jinxian!

It is another peak on the road of cultivation and also another starting point.

Strictly speaking, a saint is also a certain stage of the Golden Immortal.

Therefore, only by achieving the Golden Immortal can one be considered the backbone of the Three Realms.

Closing his eyes, Hong Chen called out to his master.

However, this time he did not get a response from his master, but only received a saintly decree flying from the Nuwa Palace: From today on, Hong Chen is the only disciple directly taught by Saint Nuwa.

At the same time, all the powerful beings in the three realms felt it.

But this incident was not unexpected, so it did not cause any unrest.

Only Hong Chen himself sighed.

The goddess Nuwa didn't want him to interfere in the Journey to the West, probably because she didn't want him to be involved in the cause and effect of the great religion so early.

Those who have been causally connected with the major religions throughout history have basically never had a good ending, as evidenced by the previous Conferred God Tribulation.

Moreover, probably in Nuwa's eyes, Hong Chen does not need to get involved in these messy events at all, and can successfully cultivate to the realm of Daluo and Quasi-Sage under her protection and guidance, just like the great master Xuandu of the human religion.

Why bother yourself with trouble?

If it were Hong Chen himself, he would probably arrange his disciples in the same way.

So, it's not wrong.

The reason why Empress Pingxin intervened was probably because there was something crucial waiting for Hong Chen to do, so she didn't want to see Hong Chen waste his time being a mortal in the world.

What she was thinking about must be closely related to the witch clan.

Moreover, although the tempering of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk is painful, even Haotian has gone through the same tribulation, so the effect is naturally outstanding.

No matter what Empress Pingxin's purpose was, it was an indisputable fact that Hong Chen benefited from it.

So, it can’t be said to be wrong.

Since both ladies are right, the one who is wrong is me and only me, Hong.

It's all my fault that I was not able to break through to the Golden Immortal realm in time, which caused the two ladies to feel resentment because of me. I really deserve death...

"Humph!"

"Humph!"

Hong Chen lowered his head and dared not say more.

After sitting in meditation for half a day and sorting out the improved principles of the Dao after the breakthrough, Hong Chen flew into the sky. Garuda let out a long cry, flew to his feet, and its body swelled in the wind.

"Don't make it too big." Hong Chen stomped his feet lightly.

Garuda nodded, and its wingspan shrank to ninety-nine feet, which was just the right size for a mount.

Looking at the man's house in the daytime, Hong Chen threw down an imperial decree and appeared in the dream to bless them with a peaceful life, and also gave them his own yard, cattle, money and other things.

There's nothing I can do. Who asked him to help me feed the cows?
Besides, being able to live next door to him also proves that this person is indeed lucky.

Garuda flaps his golden wings and travels a hundred miles in one breath.

"Not bad, very quick."

"Thank you for the compliment, Master." The voice came from a little boy.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "But I heard that a real golden-winged roc can fly 90,000 miles with one flap of its wings. This is the golden roc's great speed ability."

Garuda immediately felt wronged: "Master, I was originally just a golden eagle in the mortal world. Fortunately, I was appreciated by you and allowed to accompany you. Although that drop of golden roc blood made my bloodline transform, I am only a beginner in the earthly immortal realm and am not very impressive among the monsters."

"Haha, I'm not saying you're slow, let alone weak. What I mean is, if you run into the only golden-winged Roc in the Three Realms in the future, and if it's obedient, you can take its blood and use it as compensation. But if it's not obedient, then catch it and let me stew it, and we can enjoy it together."

Garuda was immediately overjoyed, flapped his wings vigorously, and his cry pierced the sky.

Lihuo Ding: "I am a congenital spiritual treasure, not a pot for stewing meat!"
