No taboos in the world

Chapter 544: The Spirit Pearl Returns to Heaven, and the Journey to the West Ends

Outside Fengxian County, there is Lingzhuzi Temple.

When Hong Chen walked out of the void, the statue above immediately sensed it, and the real body of Lingzhuzi, who was practicing in seclusion deep in the cave, hurried over.

"Emperor, why are you here?"

Hong Chen looked at him for a few times and saw that he seemed to be taller than before, so he smiled and said, "You've grown taller?"

Upon hearing this, Lingzhuzi exclaimed happily: "Yes, after so many years, I have finally broken through the shackles of the past. Of course, I still have to thank the emperor for his help!" He bowed and saluted deeply.

In the past, Lingzhuzi's body was transformed from a fairy lotus root. Although it had many magical powers, it also restricted his body growth, causing him to always appear like a teenager.

Now, Hong Chen has used the Six Paths of Reincarnation to transform his lotus body into something else, eliminating cause and effect, and living a new life. Naturally, his past has all disappeared and all the constraints no longer exist.

Hong Chen reached out his hand and helped him up. "You're welcome. I came to you today because I have an important matter for you to do. After you finish it, you can return to heaven and resume your position as a god."

Upon hearing this, Lingzhuzi frowned.

"Heaven? What's so good about heaven? It's better to be free and at ease in the human world."

"Haha, don't worry. After you return to heaven, you will naturally not have anything to do with Li Jing anymore. Besides, the position of the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas has nothing to do with Li Jing. Besides, don't mortals know what you, Lingzhuzi, have done and experienced? Now you are just the name of Nezha. Who else can take up this position of God except you?"

After a few words, Ling Zhuzi nodded slowly: "Well, what the emperor said makes sense, so let's do it. However, can you transfer me to your Xuanling Imperial Palace?"

"Okay, even if you don't say it, others will know that you are mine."

"Hehe, that's good! I've seen your temple before, Great Emperor. Ao Tingxin, the dragon girl, stood on one side of your statue. From now on, let me serve on the other side."

"Oh? If the great gods of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly are guarding me, wouldn't I be even more majestic?"

"Hahaha, Great Emperor, please stop joking. You are stronger than me and have done me a great favor. Even if I really become your boy, what's wrong with that? Besides, the Great Emperor Xuanling has a very broad faith. If I stand beside him, I will surely gain a lot of incense and power. In the end, I am taking advantage of you."

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Okay, then it's as you said."

"Thank you, Emperor!"

After the two arrived at the temple, they sat down, and Hong Chen slowly told him the mission in detail.

After listening to this, Ling Zhuzi immediately stood up and said, "I understand. Your Majesty, please take a rest here. I will go to heaven now!"

"Okay, go ahead. I'll take a walk around Fengxian County."

Lingzhuzi flew up into the sky on a cloud. When he passed through the South Gate of Heaven, the four generals of the Mo Clan who were guarding the gate saw him and immediately greeted him with surprise.

"Lingzhuzi, long time no see, you are finally back!"

Ling Zhuzi also smiled and waved to them, saying, "Thank you for your hard work. I have something important to attend to, so I can't stay any longer. I'll treat you to a drink later!"

The four generals of the Mo family hurriedly said, "Okay, okay, you go and do your work."

After Lingzhuzi left, the four generals of the Demon Family said softly:

"Lingzhuzi has reincarnated into another world, and he seems to be a little different."

"At least he is much more polite than before. In the past, he would just raise his chin to us at most."

"Haven't you noticed that he's grown taller?"

"Has he grown? I haven't noticed that, but if he grows up, maybe he can catch up with Yang Jian?"

"I think it's difficult. Erlang Zhenjun is the most handsome man in heaven."

"I don't agree with that. I think Emperor Xuanling can compete with Master Erlang."

"That makes sense. These two immortals are equally matched in the three realms. Lingzhuzi looks too young, like a baby. Let's wait until he grows up."

"Why didn't Fourth Brother say anything?"

"Uh, brothers, I was wondering, Sun Wukong..."

"Hiss... Fourth brother, that's a monkey!"

"What's wrong with the monkey? Isn't that also the Monkey King?"

"Fourth brother! You have a problem!"

"..."

Red Dust Palace.

Lingzhuzi pushed open the door of the palace and immediately heard three snoring sounds intertwined and rising.

He strode to the couch and looked at his three fellow disciples sleeping in a mess, and couldn't help laughing.

Then, he took out the fragrance that Hong Chen had just given him from his arms, lit it, and shook it in front of the three people's noses.

Soon, Wukong woke up first, followed by Bajie and Sha Seng.

The three rubbed their eyes. Wukong was the first to react and jumped up: "Master!"

Hearing this sweet and innocent voice, Bajie and Sha Seng also stood up suddenly.

"Master! Where is Master?"

"Big Brother, Second Brother, our brother has been captured by the monster again!"

Lingzhuzi crossed his arms and watched their performance quietly with a smile on his face.

After a moment of confusion, Wukong finally saw him and his mind immediately became clear.

"Nezha? Why are you here?"

Ling Zhuzi pouted and said, "Don't call me Nezha. I only have one name now: Ling Zhuzi!"

Wukong chuckled, looked around the room, and walked forward to ask, "Okay, Lingzhuzi, why are you here? Where's Xuanling?"

"The Great Emperor has gone down to earth and he specifically asked me to come and help you!"

Hearing this, Wukong's eyes lit up and he immediately grabbed his wrist: "Great! Come on, let's hurry up!"

Behind him, Bajie and Sha Seng hurriedly followed.

After a while, they arrived at the rice mountain, flour mountain and copper lock.

"This old Jade Emperor is really difficult for us. Bajie and I have been busy for a long time and have not eaten up all the rice and flour, and the copper lock has been burned. Lingzhuzi, if you have any good ideas, use them quickly!"

Ling Zhuzi had already received Hong Chen's instructions and was confident, so he said calmly, "Don't worry, you guys step back and watch my magic!"

Taking a step forward, Lingzhuzi stretched out his hands and aimed them at the rice mountain and the face mountain respectively.

As the magical power surged, a passage suddenly opened up, and at the other end of the passage was the human world.

Suddenly, a strong wind blew up, and the rice flour was blown up and fell everywhere on the earth.

When the skinny or hungry people saw the rice and flour falling from the sky, they were busy trying to catch them while constantly expressing their gratitude to God.

Seeing this scene, Sun Wukong's eyes widened, golden light flashed, as if he had realized something.

"No matter how many mountains of rice and flour there are, I'm afraid they are not enough for people on earth to share. If the mountains of rice and flour are truly endless, then there will be no more famine on earth. If the people of Fengxian County have rice and flour, I think they won't mind the drought." Lingzhuzi said softly.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but clap his hands and laugh: "Great! Great! Great!"

Bajie and Wujing also nodded in agreement.

moment.

The Rice Mountain and the Flour Mountain, which had been recovering, finally lost their source and soon disappeared, and as a result, a group of mortals were able to continue surviving in the world.

"Immeasurable merits!" Sun Wukong praised.

Lingzhuzi raised the corner of his mouth proudly and turned to the bronze lock.

"Lingzhuzi, this copper lock is extraordinary. Even when I forged it with real fire, its appearance did not change. What can you do?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.

Lingzhuzi opened his mouth and spit out a bit of blazing white fire in his palm.

"The raging fire cannot dissolve gold, and the fire in one's heart has nowhere to hide!" With a flick of his finger, a blazing white fire fell into the lamp under the lock.

In an instant, the flame in the lamp was dyed and engulfed by pure white.

After a few breaths, the copper lock suddenly made a clicking sound.

A crack suddenly appeared.

Under the gaze of Sun Wukong and the others, the entire copper lock quickly began to crack, until it completely disintegrated and fell to the ground in pieces. Sun Wukong was shocked and asked, "What kind of fire is this?!"

Lingzhuzi raised his chin slightly: "This is a bit of the Great Dao Heart Fire given to me by the Great Emperor!" While speaking, he did not forget to open his mouth and inhale, taking the heart fire that had just popped out back into his stomach.

"Okay, it's done, you all can go back!" Lingzhuzi waved his hand.

Sun Wukong and his two fellow disciples bowed, expressed their gratitude, and then returned to the human world together.

Fengxian County.

When the copper lock cracked, a strong wind blew up immediately, dark clouds gathered, thunder roared, and lightning flashed.

After a while, it started to rain heavily.

The people of Fengxian County took to the streets, letting the rain soak their bodies and mix with their tears to fill their bodies.

In the county magistrate's mansion.

The county magistrate and his wife knelt on the ground trembling with fear and were unable to join in the carnival in the rain.

Tang Sanzang stood aside, looking reluctant, but he couldn't and dared not speak.

It was because the son of the county magistrate was outside and raping a woman, and was seen by Hong Chen who was wandering here.

Hong Chen rescued the woman and brought the county magistrate's son to the house to interrogate him.

"You are the county magistrate, so please tell me, how should the law deal with someone who forcibly abducts a woman in broad daylight?"

The county magistrate trembled and said timidly: "According to the law, he should be beheaded!"

"Master!" the county magistrate's wife called out hurriedly.

"you shut up!"

Hong Chen smiled and said, "Then kill him."

As soon as he finished speaking, the two stone lions in front of the county magistrate's mansion instantly turned into divine generals and escorted the county magistrate's son out of the door.

Soon, a head rolled down in the rain.

The county magistrate's wife wailed and fainted on the spot.

The county magistrate's face turned pale and tears welled up in his eyes.

"You, the county magistrate, are neither good nor bad, but at least you are not a wicked person. If you still want to have an heir, you can try hard. Sanzang, let's go." Hong Chen turned around and took Tang Sanzang out of the county magistrate's mansion, and arrived at the Lingzhuzi Temple in one step.

After sitting down, Hong Chen smiled and said, "I thought you would stop me just now."

Tang Seng clasped his hands together, chanted a Buddhist name, and said, "My uncle has told me that the son of the county governor is not a first-time offender. He has harmed good people before. Although my nephew is dull, he also knows the principles of the world."

Put down the butcher knife and become a Buddha. This sentence is not applicable to all evil people, unless someone wants to deliberately use it to cover up the evil people.

Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. The "saving" expressed in this sentence does not mean ignoring the cause and effect of good and evil, or disregarding right and wrong.

Correspondingly, if there are bad people in Buddhism, there will naturally be good people.

Xuanzang can be described as a monk with excellent moral character.

"Your disciples have returned, so I will leave first. The next time we meet, I guess you will have become a Buddha."

"Uncle Master, you are so kind. I am ashamed to accept your compliments."

"I have done the right thing, and my ambition has been fulfilled. Why should I feel ashamed?"

"That's what Uncle Master said."

Hong Chen got up and left, and the next moment Sun Wukong and the other three returned together.

When the wind stopped and the rain stopped, they set out again on their journey to seek the scriptures.

Ahead, there are only the last nine difficulties left.

Chang'an City.

Jiutianchang opens the palace, and all nations pay homage to Mianqi.

The Daming Palace in Wang Wei's poem truly appeared before Hong Chen's eyes.

Although the scale, color and aura could not compare with the Lingxiao Palace in Heaven or his own Hongchen Palace, the humanitarian atmosphere here also aroused his Taoism.

In the East Palace, Li Qingchen, who was writing at his desk, seemed to have sensed something and looked up towards the palace gate.

As soon as Hong Chen raised his head, he could see the golden dragon of the Tang Dynasty, which was at its peak.

However, the golden dragon did not show its majesty. Instead, it lowered its head with a look of intimacy in its eyes.

No matter whether it is Li Qingchen who has reincarnated as a descendant of the Li royal family, or Hong Chen's own human origin, or his identity as the Emperor of Heaven, the Supreme of the Underworld, or the disciple of a saint, they are all worthy of the golden dragon's bow.

Hong Chen caressed the dragon scales on its forehead affectionately, his vision passed through the palaces and saw Li Shimin in the Taiji Palace.

The Emperor Taizong was diligent in his government affairs and was discussing state affairs with his ministers at this moment.

Next to Li Shimin stood Crown Prince Li Zhi, who was wearing a round-necked robe.

Compared with history, Li Zhi was more mature at this time, and of course more cunning.

Hong Chen stared and watched. Not only did the human dragon energy on Li Zhi not pose any obstacle, but it also retreated away.

This is something that other Taiyi Golden Immortals or even Daluo Golden Immortals probably cannot achieve.

Who made Hong Chen a descendant of the human race who was unanimously recognized by the Three Sovereigns and Five Emperors? The fate of humanity was naturally very close to him.

Seeing through Li Zhi's life is equivalent to calculating his future.

There is no doubt that he was a good emperor.

In some ways, he is not inferior to his father Li Shimin.

However, even if we put aside the political factors, he was prejudiced against Li Qingchen, disliked his Crown Princess, and was a little too obsessed with his father's talented woman.

Hong Chen sighed, looked at the golden dragon in front of him, and asked, "How many years should I give him?"

The golden dragon blinked.

"Three to five years seems too little, but more than ten years seems too much to me."

The golden dragon shook its head and tail, coiled around his arm and swam upwards, rubbing his shoulder affectionately.

"I know you like me, but you don't have to destroy him outright. He is talented, and even if he made mistakes, that is human nature. Even gods would violate the laws of heaven, let alone mortals? You shouldn't be too harsh on him."

The golden dragon raised its head slightly and hummed softly.

Hong Chen smiled again: "Then let him do what he wants. If he doesn't want to depose the queen or the crown prince, then let him do what he wants. Even if it takes decades, I will just stay in seclusion."

Jin Long nodded slowly.

Time passes.

The five people who went on the journey to the West overcame disasters such as the Yellow Lion Demon, the Nine-Spirited Saint, the Rhinoceros Demon, and the Jade Rabbit Demon, and crossed the Lingyun Ferry on a bottomless boat, completing their transformation.

The Great Leiyin Temple is right in front of you.

"Wukong, how many years have we been walking?" Tang Seng sighed as he looked into the distance.

Sun Wukong blurted out: "Master, it has been fourteen years since I escaped from the Five Elements Mountain."

Tang Seng left Chang'an City in the same year that Sun Wukong escaped from the Five Elements Mountain.

"Fourteen years..." Tang Seng turned his head and looked towards the east. The scene of Chang'an in the past seemed to rise in his eyes. "I wonder if Your Majesty is well."

"Hey, Master, don't be sentimental, let's keep moving forward and don't make others wait anxiously!" As he spoke, Sun Wukong's eyes turned around, as if he saw the figures he had met on the journey to the west.

However, Tang Seng thought he was talking about the Buddha, Bodhisattva or Arhat in the Great Leiyin Temple, so he quickly composed himself and strode forward with his head held high.

As the group got closer and closer to the Great Leiyin Temple.

More and more people are watching them from afar.

Plant a millet in spring and harvest ten thousand in autumn.

Seeing that the harvest is about to begin, how can we not take a look?
