Journey to the West: Start by giving Taishang Laojun a whole life

Chapter 17 Tao Te Ching! Oranges need salt?
"There is actually an explanation for the origin of the previous life..."

Zhang Tian had a strange look on his face, looking at the Huangting Taoist Scripture which he had simplified ten thousand times, and it was so simple and practical. His left eye twitched, indicating wealth, and his right eye twitched, indicating disaster. For a moment he didn't know what to say.

After all, he had often used this method in his previous life, but he only believed half of it, that is, if the left eyelid twitched, good things would happen, either a promotion or getting rich.

Right eye twitching...

Don’t believe in feudal superstition!

Unexpectedly, after traveling through time, Zhang Tian actually acquired this skill again. Although he could only predict good fortune or misfortune, he did not know the details and sources of the good fortune or misfortune. Compared with the Huangting Taoist Scripture that he had cultivated to perfection, it was so simple, even useless. However, Zhang Tian was already satisfied because it was easy to get started.

The world of Journey to the West is too dangerous. If you can master the ability to predict good and bad luck one day earlier, you will have an extra layer of security. You never know when you will be walking on the road one day and hear someone behind you shouting, "Senior, please stay!"

or.

"Young man, you and I have a connection to Buddhism!"

Of course, Zhang Tian is not actually opposed to monks or something. After all, Buddhism has a good reputation in the world of Journey to the West. Compared with the dark supremes in a certain dark forbidden area of the universe, they are as good as saints.

But he didn't want to be a monk.

Especially when he was traveling in Jambudvīpa before, he met many eminent monks who invited him to join Buddhism and were willing to recommend him to enter the Lingshan Holy Land in Xiniuhezhou, but Zhang Tian rejected them all.

only because……

"In my previous life, I had to clock in at work every day, answer questions in the group chat, and suffer from the boss's anger every day."

"After I travel through time, if I join the Buddhist sect, I will have to recite scriptures, chant Buddhist teachings, abide by the rules, and flatter the Buddha every day. I cannot kill this or that, and I must be reasonable when I meet people, and I must persuade naughty children..."

"Then I traveled through time in vain!"

Xiao Zhang, the Holy Ox and Horse Body, decided to change the way he lived. Of course, he must not be as arrogant as a certain monkey. He wanted the sky to no longer cover his eyes, the earth to no longer bury his heart, and all the gods and Buddhas in the sky to disappear into thin air.

If you dare to learn like this, you will probably be struck to death by lightning before you can finish your words.

His goal was very small. He just wanted to become an immortal and live a carefree and leisurely life for 10,000 years. If nothing unexpected happened, living another 10,000 years would be enough to make the Dark Supreme next door jealous to death.

After experiencing the wonderful benefits of the simplified Huangting Taoist Scripture, Zhang Tian took the opportunity to check his other gains. With the insights from the Tao Te Ching, and the simplified Taoist Scripture, he had reached a higher level. He felt that his brain was enough.

The Bull Demon's Powerful Fist, which had been quite difficult to practice before, now saw a way forward and had hope.

"The Bull Demon Fist that has reached a higher level, the Huangting Daojing that can predict good and bad luck, the Tao Te Ching that has given me a lot of insights and has improved my understanding, and the Yijing that can calculate the mysteries of the universe and observe all things..."

He was somewhat delighted for a moment.

After all, compared to the previous eighteen years, with all the searching for immortals and reading, the gains this year can be said to be extremely huge.

He thought too much at once and had an illusion, "With so many gains, even if it's compared to the monkey who joined Fangcun Mountain, it shouldn't be much different, right?"

What did the monkey learn?
Isn't it just a great celestial immortal secret? After you have mastered it, you can master all the secrets. We have a simplified version of the Taoist scriptures, so we are just a little bit short.

Isn't it just the 72 transformations of the Earthly Fiends? Being proficient in transformations can help you avoid the three disasters. If we have a little bit of that, we can turn into a cow, just a little bit short.

Isn't it just three heads and six arms? You can grow three heads and six arms, and fight with them at the same time. I don't have even a little bit of that.

Isn't it just the law of heaven and earth? It can grow to a height of ten thousand feet. With a wave of its hand, it can cause mountains to collapse and the earth to split apart, destroying the heaven and earth. I don't have even a tiny bit of that.

Isn't it just indestructible?

Isn't it just an incarnation outside of the body? Isn't it just a somersault that takes a long distance?

is not it……

"Forget it, damn it, cultivating immortals is so frustrating that I can't even win using the Xiaomi victory method. I'm so angry!"

However, Zhang Tian knew in his heart that he could not compare with the monkey. After all, he was born an ordinary person, while the monkey was born extraordinary. He was a fairy stone that had been nurtured for hundreds of millions of years on the Flower-Fruit Mountain, which was the dragon vein of the Ten Continents and the origin of the Three Islands.

Moreover, he was extremely lucky. He traveled countless miles in search of immortals and learned the way. He crossed the East China Sea from the Dongsheng Shenzhou to the Nanshanbuzhou, and then crossed the West Sea to the Xiniu Hezhou. Finally, he found the Fangcun Mountain where the Bodhi Patriarch, the most powerful master in the Three Realms, lived. Only then did he learn true supernatural powers and skills.

There are many opportunities here, but if you make a mistake in one of them, you might just become the Demon King Monkey King instead of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven or the Fighting Buddha Sun Wukong.

"Even in terms of opportunities, mine is not bad either..."

The mount of Taishang Laojun's family.

There is also the immortal inheritance that has been refined into colorful stones under the cold pond.

Open once a month.

He has already obtained the Huangting Taoist Scripture, and can also comprehend the seven magical powers and the alchemy method of Taishang Laojun. If he can grasp it, he may be able to take this opportunity to completely turn things around, like a latent dragon in the abyss, soaring into the sky.

"Brother Immortal, you are dead, but you still left such a legacy." Zhang Tian thought of the boy from the dead Taishang Laojun's family, and his heart was immediately filled with gratitude, "You are a very good person!"

With the inheritance of the Hantan Immortal.

Zhang Tian felt that every day was full of anticipation, not knowing which magical power he would inherit next, or whether he would obtain the art of alchemy.

He looked at the orange tree he planted as he did every day, and the Taoist eye on his forehead opened, and he saw something slightly different.

[Some spiritual orange trees: After ordinary breeding research, some spiritual oranges can be grown, but not many. The improvement method is: Tao character formula, enlightenment and spiritual communication. ]

Zhang Tian looked a little stunned. After listening to Laozi's preaching, his Taoist Eye had obvious changes. He never expected that it could have such a wonderful use.

"Brother Niu once said that if one can truly comprehend the Tao Te Ching, one will understand the secrets of the Great Dao, be self-taught, and understand all kinds of magical skills. Before, I only had the Tao Te Ching but not the De Te Ching. Now, I have gradually made up for some of it..."

So Zhang Tian followed the instructions of the Eye of Tao, circulated his magic power, condensed a word "Tao" in his palm, and hit it into the tree. This vaguely aroused the spirit in the tree, and it responded.

Try it daily.

The orange tree grew very fast.

Half a month passed like this.

Then it produced fruit.

Without anyone notifying him, the green bull came over following the scent. He put the orange in his mouth and tasted it. His pupils opened wide, and he was extremely satisfied. "Not bad, not bad, but it's still a little bit lacking."

"What's missing?"

"It would be better if it were a little saltier."

Zhang Tian: Salty, salty oranges...

He was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Oranges should be eaten salty. What's the difference between this and eating tofu pudding with sugar?
heresy!!!
