Others follow advice and imitate celebrities, but you start by pretending to be a god?

"What exactly happened in Chechi Kingdom?" Sun Wukong asked again, with curiosity gleaming in his eyes.

The land god slowly replied, "In Chechi Country, the great master, the contemporary Taoist Lin Nan, has established a separate Taoist court in Chechi Country, which is completely different from what the Eastern King did."

"He was given the 'Nine Extremes Alliance Talisman' by the Great Dao Ancestor himself. He can command the immortals and gods of the three realms and has boundless power." The land god continued to narrate, with a hint of awe in his tone.

"Therefore, the gods of the stars in the sky, the gods of the mountains and the land on the earth, and the ghosts and the kings of hell in the netherworld all came to witness the grand occasion of his establishment of the Dao Court." The God of Land continued, "Moreover, they all branded their own names on it to increase the prestige of the Dao Court."

"Now, that Heavenly Master Lin Nan is not only the Grand Master of Chechi Kingdom, but also the Taoist Master of Chechi, in charge of the entire Taoist court." The words of the Land God were full of admiration for Lin Nan.

"In addition, Taoist Master Lin Nan also used his great supernatural powers to open up a blessed land in Chechi country, named Jiuji." The land god continued to narrate Lin Nan's glorious deeds.

After hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be shocked: "Master of Taoism? Lin Nan actually did such a big thing? He established the Taoist Temple and became the Master of Taoism?" His tone was full of disbelief.

"That's right." The land god said with emotion, "I have also been there to pay my respects. Taoist Master Lin Nan is truly a free and easy person who has truly attained the Tao."

The land god's words made Sun Wukong feel a little unhappy. He waved his hand and said impatiently: "Alright, alright, don't say any more. It's just a Taoist temple. When I was called the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, all the gods and immortals came to congratulate me."

Although he said this, there was a hint of sourness in Sun Wukong's tone.

He clearly remembered that when he opened the Great Sage Equaling Heaven Palace in Heaven, although there were immortals and gods who came to congratulate him, the momentum was far less than that of Lin Nan.

So, Sun Wukong decided to out of sight, out of mind. He waved his hand, signaling the land god to leave.

Although the land god was a little confused, he still took his leave and turned back to his own land temple.

……

After the land god left, Sun Wukong still felt a little uncomfortable. He thought to himself: "Lin Nan is so powerful, but I can only follow my master to the West to obtain the scriptures. Is it really true that fortune changes over time?" Although Sun Wukong thought so, he felt helpless.

At this time, his eyes fell on the ginseng fruit tree. He thought to himself, "I wonder if Lin Nan has tasted this ginseng fruit. Anyway, I want to taste it today."

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong vented his dissatisfaction on the ginseng fruit tree. He climbed up the tree and knocked down the ginseng fruits one by one.

……

On the other hand, Tang Sanzang did not eat the ginseng fruit because it looked too much like a baby, while Qingfeng and Mingyue each ate one and enjoyed it happily.

After they finished eating, they suddenly heard a voice calling from outside Wuzhuang Temple: "Where is Junior Brother Qingfeng Mingyue?"

Qingfeng and Mingyue looked at each other and both felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. They were stunned for a moment and then went out to check.

This voice spread throughout the Wuzhuang Temple. Not only did Qingfeng Mingyue hear it, but even Tang Sanzang who was meditating felt that the voice was vaguely familiar, but he couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

Sun Wukong had just picked three ginseng fruits and was about to share them with Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng when he heard this voice. He thought to himself, "Could it be that Zhen Yuan Da Xian has returned?"

When Zhu Bajie heard this, his face changed color with fear: "It's over, it's over. We just stole the ginseng fruit and the owner comes back. What should we do?" He smelled the fragrance of the ginseng fruit and didn't dare to eat it.

Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong and Sha Seng both felt that the voice was vaguely familiar.

Seeing Zhu Bajie's timid look, Sun Wukong said irritably, "So what if the master comes back? We just ate a few of their fruits."

Although he said so, Sun Wukong still put down the ginseng fruit in his hand. He thought to himself: "If the master comes back, why doesn't he just come in? Why is he knocking on the door outside? Moreover, the voice of this person knocking on the door is vaguely familiar to me, as if I have heard it somewhere before..."

"Big Brother, I feel the same way." Sha Seng frowned and thought about it carefully. He still remembered Lin Nan very clearly because he had almost died at the hands of Lin Nan, so Sha Seng quickly remembered that voice.

"No, eldest brother, second brother, this voice belongs to Lin Nan, the great master of Chechi Kingdom!" Sha Seng's face changed and he said in horror.

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie also had different expressions. Zhu Bajie was simply curious, as he had heard many legends about Lin Nan but had never seen him in person.

Sun Wukong laughed strangely: "Good of you Lin Nan, you actually came to my door on your own."

"Big Brother, don't be impulsive." Zhu Bajie quickly advised, "I heard from Qingfeng Mingyue that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has great magical powers. Together with Lin Nan, we can't conflict with them here."

"Of course I know." Sun Wukong said, "It's just that the last time I was under the Five Elements Mountain, that little Taoist priest laughed at me. Now that I have regained my freedom, I want to see how powerful that little Taoist priest is!"

As they spoke, they all put down the ginseng fruits and walked outside.

On the other side, Tang Sanzang was also attracted by the sound. He thought that no matter who was visiting, he should not stay in the house any longer. So Tang Sanzang also walked out of the house.

At this time, Qingfeng Mingyue had hurriedly walked out of Wuzhuang Temple, and saw a Taoist standing outside the door. He was wearing feathered clothes and a precious crown, and he was handsome and exuded a calm Taoist temperament. It was Lin Nan.

"Qingfeng Mingyue, my two junior brothers." Lin Nan looked at Qingfeng Mingyue with a smile. He had known Qingfeng Mingyue for a long time when he was listening to the teachings at Wuzhuang Temple. At that time, Qingfeng Mingyue, who was full of curiosity about the outside world, always pulled Lin Nan to ask questions.

Therefore, they were also very surprised to see Lin Nan at this moment.

"Brother Lin Nan!" They cheered and came forward, surrounding Lin Nan and asking him questions. "Brother Lin Nan, why are you here?" Qingfeng Mingyue asked curiously.

"Master was invited by Yuanshi Tianzun to go to Miluo Palace to listen to a lecture on Hunyuan Dao." Lin Nan replied, "The other brothers also went with him. Now there are only a few monks left in the temple."

"Among them, there is a monk with a hairy face and a thunder god mouth who is particularly abominable." Qingfeng Mingyue complained, "Only Elder Tang is somewhat polite. They have no respect for the master at all and don't even know the master's name. But they all know your name, Senior Brother Lin Nan."

Qingfeng Mingyue told Lin Nan the recent events and the details of Tang Sanzang and others in just a few words.

"So that's how it is. So, Tang Sanzang and his party are in there?" Lin Nan asked.

"Yes." Qingfeng Mingyue had just finished answering when several figures walked out of Wuzhuang Temple.

The leader was a handsome monk wearing a cassock, and the others were a hairy-faced man with a thunder god's mouth, a fat-headed man with big ears, and a tall and ferocious man. They were the four of Tang Sanzang and his disciples who came from the East and went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

"Amitabha, nice to meet you again, Taoist Lin Nan." Tang Sanzang led the group in chanting a Buddhist name, then greeted Lin Nan.

The three disciples behind him were much more casual. Sun Wukong glanced at Lin Nan and said provocatively: "Little Cow Nose, we meet again. Now that I have come out of the Five Elements Mountain, do you still dare to call me 'monkey'?" Obviously, Sun Wukong still felt resentful about Lin Nan's name for him at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain - "naughty monkey".

Zhu Bajie looked at Lin Nan with curiosity. He had heard too many legends about Lin Nan before, and now he finally saw the real person.

Sha Seng unconsciously tightened his body, as if he was afraid that Lin Nan would notice him.

At this time, Sun Wukong spoke with a hint of dissatisfaction: "Hey, you naughty monkey, don't you often call me Ox-nosed Taoist?"

Lin Nan just smiled faintly, not taking the resentment in Sun Wukong's words to heart at all.

He asked softly, "I came to Wuzhuang Temple to visit my two junior brothers Qingfeng and Mingyue. I wonder why you are here?" Although the question was asked casually, Lin Nan actually knew it in his heart.

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and answered respectfully: "My master and I are passing by here, so we'd like to stay here for one night and make a fire to cook some vegetarian food." Hearing this, Lin Nan nodded slightly, with an imperceptible smile in his eyes.

"Oh?" Lin Nan turned his gaze to Qingfeng and Mingyue. Qingfeng quickly explained, "Master had already predicted that they would pass by here, so he specifically told us to entertain them well before leaving." Mingyue also nodded in agreement, and both of them looked sincere.

"Elder Tang was Jin Chanzi in his previous life, and he had a deep friendship with Master." Qingfeng added, with a hint of admiration in his tone.

Then he continued, "Master also ordered us to pick two ginseng fruits to entertain Elder Tang, but Elder Tang saw that the ginseng fruit looked like a baby, so he felt compassion and did not eat it."

At this point, Qingfeng couldn't help scratching his head, and continued a little embarrassedly: "We thought that since Elder Tang didn't want to eat it, we couldn't let the ginseng fruit go to waste, so we shared it between the two of us."

Mingyue also quickly said, "If we had known that Senior Brother Lin Nan would come, we would have kept it for you."

Qingfeng and Mingyue were always so frank in front of Lin Nan, without hiding anything.

In Lin Nan's heart, they are like a pair of innocent children, and he is the trustworthy "intimate brother" in their hearts.

At this moment, they were like children who had eaten candy behind Lin Nan's back. They felt guilty and embarrassed, so they just said it out loud.

Hearing this, Lin Nan just nodded slightly and said, "It's okay. I've already tasted the ginseng fruit last time." There was a hint of comfort in his words, which instantly alleviated the guilt in Qingfeng and Mingyue's hearts.

"Since Elder Tang doesn't want to eat it, it's okay for you to eat it." Lin Nan's words revealed a sense of casualness and magnanimity.

Qingfeng and Mingyue were delighted when they heard this, and nodded repeatedly, as if they had received a great deal of recognition. They invited him warmly, "Brother Lin Nan, why don't you wait here for Master to come back? If Master sees Brother Lin Nan, maybe he will pick another ginseng fruit to treat you." As they said this, the two looked at Lin Nan expectantly, hoping that he would stay.

Lin Nan just smiled slightly and shook his head. He turned his gaze to the people behind Tang Sanzang and said, "Even if I am here, I cannot treat the other guests of the Immortal with disrespect." There was a hint of courtesy in his words, but also a majesty that could not be ignored.

Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and others behind Tang Sanzang all turned their eyes away unconsciously and dodged when Lin Nan looked at them. They all seemed to sense the unusual aura of Lin Nan and felt a little uneasy.

"Hehe, Elder Tang and his companions are only staying here for one day. We will definitely entertain them well and will not neglect them." Seeing this, Qingfeng hurriedly tried to smooth things over. Lin Nan nodded slightly and said, "In that case, let's go into the temple first." Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement.

So, Qingfeng and Mingyue led everyone into Wuzhuang Temple again. As soon as they entered the temple, Qingfeng couldn't wait to say, "Brother, do you want to go see the ginseng fruit tree? Although two fruits have fallen today, there should be more than 20 left." His tone was full of excitement and anticipation.

Hearing this, Lin Nan nodded and said, "It's okay to go and take a look." As he spoke, his eyes unconsciously swept towards Sun Wukong and others, and saw that their faces changed slightly, and they seemed to be a little strange. Lin Nan paused slightly in his heart, secretly wondering if he was a step too late.

"Now, this monkey should have only eaten the ginseng fruit and not knocked down the ginseng fruit tree. Although I came a little late, it is not too late!" Lin Nan thought to himself, "I still have a chance to save the ginseng fruit tree and prevent it from that disaster."

He came to Wuzhuang Temple for this purpose. He wanted to repay the kindness and save the ginseng fruit tree. At this moment, Lin Nan had clearly realized part of the meaning of his existence. He was not in the secrets of heaven, and was not bound by the shackles of heaven, so he could act as he pleased.

Just like now, the ginseng fruit tree was destined to be doomed. Couldn't an immortal like Zhen Yuan Daxian predict it in advance? Of course he did, but he could only sit back and watch. Because in this era, the fortune of Buddhism was at its peak, everything was already predetermined, and Zhen Yuanzi could only cooperate.

But Lin Nan didn't need to do that, he could act according to his own ideas. That's why he came to Wuzhuang Temple at this time.

"It would be a good idea to go and have a look at the ginseng fruit tree." Lin Nan decided secretly. So, he prepared to go with Qingfeng and Mingyue to have a look.

However, at this moment, Sun Wukong and the others seemed a little panicked. Zhu Bajie even secretly pulled the corner of Sun Wukong's clothes, as if hinting at something. Sun Wukong naturally understood what Zhu Bajie meant. He was worried that once Lin Nan went to check the ginseng fruit tree, their secret picking of the fruit would be exposed. (End of this chapter)
