Conferred Gods: Start with a Phoenix clone

Chapter 708 The Trouble with Mo Qilin
With a lifespan equal to that of the prehistoric world, even if the Nanji Immortal were to have his three flowers and five qi sapped, reduced to a mortal, beaten to death, chopped into pieces, ground into ashes, and scattered into the sea, it would be useless. A lifespan equals that of heaven and earth. Losing your body? No big deal! Shattering your soul? Not worth mentioning! As long as the prehistoric world still exists, you will not die.

He can live for more than a year without a body or soul, in a state between existence and non-existence. During this period of more than a year, with his means, it is not difficult to reshape his body.

The combat power of the Antarctic Immortal is indeed weak, but he is really difficult to kill.

Nanji Xianweng is no fool. His own mount was swallowed, and then the sika deer ran back to be his mount without any problem? This is obviously a problem.

The old man said that he was willing to do the job, but he really had no other choice.

Tu Xingsun gave the old man a death order: "The old man from Nanji only has a few mounts: white deer, elk, and white-tailed deer. These are all your descendants. I want you to return to Kunlun Mountain quietly."

The changes in the dark did not affect Deng Chanyu and Daji.

They were planning to go to Yunmengze, but they didn't expect that they would have to stop in the clouds just after leaving Mount Emei and entering the area of ​​Nandu.

"Swish, swish!" Deng Jiugong's mount, the Black Qilin, came riding on the clouds and called to them from afar.

"The voice sounds familiar. Is this the Qilin in our family?" Deng Chanyu asked in a low voice.

Daji waved her hand in front of her twice, and asked in surprise, "Are your eyesight getting worse? The impact of insufficient kidney water is so serious. Why don't we not have children for now? You should take good care of yourself for a while. It's a bit scary. I didn't know you were so weak."

"Nonsense, I'm very strong! Extremely strong! But there's indeed a small problem with my recent skills, which has caused me to be a little face-blind. That Qilin is still calling, you have good eyesight, take a look, is it our Qilin? I'm afraid this guy is deceiving me."

Daji took a closer look as she requested. Mo Qilin was speechless. I have fought for your family and you still don’t recognize me?

Daji gave Mo Qilin an apologetic smile, then whispered, "Yes, that's right, it's our father's mount. How come you can't even recognize your own Qilin?"

Deng Chanyu took a closer look and it seemed to be true! However, these Qilin all looked the same, so she was understandably worried that she might have made a mistake.

The black Qilin came closer and looked at them pitifully.

No one spoke for a while.

Qilin has the ability to hear and convey thoughts.

Deng Chanyu obtained the ability of "telepathy" from Moonlight Taoist, and can now have conversations on a spiritual level.

Daji hugged Di Ting, and Di Ting conveyed what he heard to her, and she then asked Di Ting to convey her own thoughts.

Deng Chanyu, Daji and Mo Qilin didn't say anything. They stood on the clouds and exchanged their thoughts as if they were performing a pantomime.

"It's really tiring. What's going on?" Deng Chanyu rubbed her forehead. Moonlight Taoist was too young and his abilities were limited, which made her unaccustomed to this new magical power. She felt dizzy after listening to it, and finally just asked directly.

The black Qilin used his magic power to make two "swoosh" sounds, which were not his inner voice. Deng Chanyu finally understood.

"You mean to say you're in danger? You knew it in advance? Are you that powerful? Why didn't your clan show any signs of danger during the Dragon and Phoenix Tribulation?"

Mo Qilin rolled his eyes and said, "I really want to kick you to death. You are bringing up such irrelevant things!"
Mo Qilin briefly described his premonition. According to Deng Chanyu's understanding, it was a Taoist who wanted to capture him as a mount. He had sensed this in advance and wanted to avoid it early. "What are you avoiding? Let's keep flying forward. I want to see who's trying to kidnap our mount."

No matter how magical the Black Qilin was, it wouldn't attract too many coveted gazes. Could it be Zhunti coming to compete with Deng Jiugong for the mount? If Zhunti really came, Deng Chanyu wouldn't even need Deng Jiugong as her father. Buy one, get one free! Forget the mount! I'll even give it to you!

Yunmengze was not in a hurry. It didn't matter if they went a few days earlier or later. They slowed down and flew slowly south.

One day later, a monk came from afar on a dark cloud and blocked the road.

"Good, good, I have a strong connection with the Qilin beside you, fellow Daoist. Would you be willing to give it up?"

Deng Chanyu looked at this guy.

The dress is a bit like that of the monks in King Zhou's Luoyi.

With a bald head, square face, big ears, and a rosary hanging on his chest, he already looks a bit like an advanced version, but he is also wearing Xuanmen's cloud shoes and holding a whisk, and seems to be a Taoist priest.

If the daily attire of Taoists like Mahasthamaprapta and Maitreya is already 70% Buddhist, then the attire of the Taoist in front of us is almost 90% Buddhist. If you don't look carefully, you'd think he's a monk.

Deng Chanyu asked, "What's your name, fellow Daoist? Which ancient temple on earth do you practice in?"

"I am Fajie, a wandering immortal from Penglai. Today, I have a sudden inspiration, so I would like to ask for your help."

Fajie? Deng Chanyu found it rather odd. Such a Buddhist name? And yet he kept calling himself "Pindao"?
She is no longer in the same situation as when she first traveled through time. She has been exposed to a lot of information about the ancient times. She can even call out the names of unknown immortals and make certain inferences based on her own memories.

"Fellow Daoist, are you the master of Han Sheng and Han Bian, the former generals of Sishui Pass?"

". It's Pindao."

Han Sheng and Han Bian were the sons of Han Rong, the former commander of Sishui Pass. These two unlucky guys exchanged two for one, killed Ji Fa, and were then beaten to death by Wei Hu. Now this guy is their master, who seems to be in the realm of Xuanxian, and should be a big shot among the immortals.

Fajie is an important but not very important person in the future development of Buddhism.

To say that he is important, if Deng Chanyu remembers correctly, he finally transformed into "Prince Jeta" of the Kingdom of Sravasti, and built the "Jetavana Grove" together with "Anathacharya".

"Jetavana" is the tree of Prince Jeta, and "Anatha" is a garden of the great merchant "Anatha".

They worked together to build a garden and presented it to Shakyamuni Buddha, where he preached for 25 years.

The reason why he is said to be unimportant is that "Prince Jeta" did not become a Buddha, and it seems that he did not even have the status of Arhat. At best, he provided the "Jetavana Tree". The one who covered the 80 hectares of land with gold was "Anāthapiṇḍika."

This is a person who seems to be a Taoist but not a Taoist, like a Buddha but not a Buddha, who seems to have a deep affinity with the Dharma, but is always one step away from the right result.

Prince Jeta's name is always associated with the "prosperity of Buddhism", but in fact he played a very small role in it. Sakyamuni had already become a Buddha before they built the garden, so it didn't matter where he preached, it had nothing to do with the forest.
