[Congratulations to player Xu Xian for defeating the level 28 Golden-haired Rat Demon, Dao Qi +56]
……
Since crossing the Two Realms Mountain, there have indeed been many more demons and monsters.
Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen joined forces and easily suppressed the vast majority of demons, and Xu Xian's Dao Qi also increased rapidly at a visible speed.
In just nine months, Xu Xian has already reached level 36.
[Level: 36]
[Physical Fitness: 617]
[Mana: 605]
[Divine Sense: 531]
【Perception: 5000】
[Luck: 1500]
During this period, Xu Xian gradually revealed most of his cultivation level.
This made Bai Suzhen's beautiful eyes sparkle even more.
"Sir, you are indeed exceptionally gifted; it is truly astonishing."
"Hehe, my extraordinary talent isn't just limited to cultivation. Come on~"
"Um!"
Compared to Bai Suzhen's long demon life, the time she spent with Xu Xian was not very long.
Or rather, extremely short.
But Bai Suzhen felt that the happiness she had gained in these days was countless times greater than that of the previous 1,800 years.
The only thing that bothered Bai Suzhen was that her belly was not very cooperative.
Even though Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian had sex almost every day, no good news came.
Xu Xian didn't care about this.
Or rather, he actively controlled Yuan Yang to prevent Bai Suzhen from actually conceiving with Wenquxing.
Otherwise, he would have gotten involved with the Heavenly Court prematurely.
But Bai Suzhen was unaware of this.
All she knew was that even though her womb was very uncooperative, her husband remained very gentle.
This caused Bai Suzhen even more pain.
Even when encountering beautiful demons while exorcising evil spirits, Bai Suzhen would take the initiative to propose marriage for Xu Xian.
Xu Xian naturally waved his hand in refusal.
As his cultivation deepened, his lifespan naturally increased as well.
There's no rush when it comes to the children.
Seeing Xu Xian's expression, Bai Suzhen assumed that her husband was feeling sorry for her.
Therefore, I felt even more ashamed.
During their lovemaking, they surprisingly came up with many novel ways to play.
She is a true dragon, with a supple and charming figure, capable of performing many actions that are difficult for mortals to do.
In this process, both Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen gained immense satisfaction.
Several more months passed, and the two had already crossed the Two Realms Mountain by a distance of a thousand miles.
On this day, they finally arrived at a temple.
Guanyin Temple!
In Journey to the West, the abbot of this Zen temple wanted to steal Tang Sanzang's brocade cassock, so the novice monks suggested burning Tang Sanzang to death.
Unfortunately, the Monkey King discovered them and borrowed a fire-avoiding cover from the Heavenly King Guangmu to protect Tang Sanzang, and also borrowed wind to blow the fire away.
Ultimately, a massive fire destroyed the Guanyin Temple.
Even the abbot committed suicide by crashing his head into a wall.
For Tang Sanzang, this tribulation was quite simple, but it would lead to the subsequent encounter with the bear monster.
This monster certainly has some tricks up its sleeve.
Despite his unorthodox background, he managed to fight the Monkey King to a standstill in a short period of time.
It's rare to find a powerful monster like this that doesn't belong to any faction and has no criminal record.
Even Guanyin Bodhisattva admired the strength of the bear monster and gave him a headband, making him a mountain guardian deity, which can be considered as achieving enlightenment.
While the bear monster is indeed powerful, its endurance is far inferior to that of the Monkey King, and it also lacks any decent magical treasures or supernatural abilities.
They fought several times, but always stopped fighting by citing reasons such as eating and sleeping.
Xu Xian's purpose in coming here was to meet the Bear Monster and teach him orthodox Taoist immortal techniques.
Of course, before that, it's a good opportunity to see what the Guanyin Temple looks like.
At this time, Guanyin Temple was far less magnificent than it would be a thousand years later; it consisted of only three or four mud-brick and stone-built houses.
In the very center of the room, there is a statue of the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea.
In addition, three or five young monks were meditating and chanting scriptures, appearing quite devout.
It seems that Guanyin Temple is still a fairly orthodox Buddhist temple, without the vulgar trends of later generations.
Xu Xian led Bai Suzhen into the Guanyin Temple.
"Amitabha Buddha, have you two benefactors entered my monastery to pay homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South Sea?"
Bai Suzhen wanted to pay her respects, but Xu Xian stopped her.
"My lord, Guanyin Bodhisattva and Lishan Laomu are both our personal teachers, and we should pay our respects to them."
Xu Xian shook his head.
Whether it is Guanyin Bodhisattva or the true identity of Doumu Yuanjun, the Old Mother of Lishan, they are all great supernatural beings of level 80 or above.
Both of them can easily survive the great calamity of the destruction and rebirth of heaven and earth, making them undoubtedly the masters of the mythological world.
Although Guanyin Bodhisattva still holds the status of a Bodhisattva, she belongs to the Buddhist concept of "returning to the source of compassion".
His cultivation had already reached the heavens and the earth, and even the Heavenly Dao could not suppress him, so he wanted Guanyin Bodhisattva to attain the Buddhahood.
However, Guanyin made a great vow and remained only at the level of Bodhisattva, without seeking further advancement.
Once her great vow is fulfilled, Guanyin Bodhisattva will immediately become the most supreme Buddha in the world.
Doumu Yuanjun, needless to say, is the supreme goddess of Taoism.
Both of them possessed great supernatural powers, allowing them to observe the cause and effect of the three realms and easily uncover the secrets of Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian.
Therefore, Xu Xian must not get involved with these two deities at this time.
Moreover, Bai Suzhen's so-called disciples were not true master-disciple lineages at all.
Rather, it was simply that the spirits of the mountains and fields were questioning the gods of heaven and earth during their cultivation.
Bai Suzhen was asking questions of the Old Mother of Lishan and Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Although they addressed each other as disciples, neither the Old Mother of Lishan nor Guanyin Bodhisattva paid much attention to Bai Suzhen.
After all, there are thousands upon thousands of disciples like this among the famous gods in heaven, and they are not even worth their attention.
Whether or not one visits the shrine is irrelevant.
Seeing Xu Xian's attitude, Bai Suzhen naturally didn't insist and simply stood quietly behind him.
Xu Xian stepped into the Guanyin Temple and used his Dharma Eye to observe the few young novices there.
After a while, he laughed and said, "He truly is a kind-hearted person."
The young novice monk pouted, somewhat dissatisfied: "We are Buddhist disciples, of course our hearts are pure. Have you ever seen a Buddhist who harbors greed?"
"..."
"What the young monk says is true. To be honest, my wife and I are devout Buddhists and would like to offer some incense."
The young novice monk looked at the Guanyin Temple, then sized up Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen, and said, "It's good that you two are so kind. We are content with our lot and devoted ourselves to serving Guanyin Bodhisattva. We don't need any incense offerings."
"Don't say that, this is just a token of my appreciation."
Xu Xian smiled and took out a package containing several exquisite scrolls of scriptures.
This is what he gained at Jinshan Temple, and it's perfect for this purpose.
The young novice opened the package, looked inside, and finally nodded, saying, "Since it's a scripture, we'll accept it. Thank you both, benefactors."
The young novice monk truly devoted himself to Buddhism.
He picked up the scriptures and went into the house, closed his eyes to worship Buddha, and ignored Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.
Several younger novice monks looked at the exquisite scriptures brought by Xu Xian with a strange light in their eyes.
"How beautiful! This is how scriptures should be."
Upon hearing this, the leading novice monk's gaze sharpened: "Junior brother, you're attached to appearances! These books aren't scriptures; the formlessness in our minds is the true scripture!"
"yes!"
Xu Xian looked at the young monks and nodded in praise, "They are indeed people of great wisdom."
After saying that, he took Bai Suzhen away from there and headed to Black Wind Mountain.
After flying for half a day, the two finally arrived in the mountains and found the Black Wind Cave.
Xu Xian also saw an extremely young black bear!
It was indeed the Bear Monster!
