Chapter 437 Laozi: Urgent! Urgent! Urgent!

The Golden-Winged Garuda was taken away by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva, and Chenxiang is facing a difficult choice.

If both uncles appear in front of Chenxiang at the same time, Chenxiang needs to choose one of them to fight, or fight both of them together.

Both Erlang Zhenjun were exhausted, but they still mustered their spirits in front of their nephew and waited for Chenxiang to challenge one of them.

"Agarwood, you're here! Come with me!!"

The green ox intervened and took Chenxiang away. The green ox carried Chenxiang towards the celestial realm.

"Why don't you two rest for a few days and come back to find Chenxiang when you're fully recovered?" the roadside man said to the two Erlang Zhenjun.

"Is this your thing?"

Erlang Shen took off the Potara earring from his earlobe and threw it to the roadside. Yang Erlang did the same, and the roadside caught both Potara earrings in his hands.

“It was for Chenxiang.”

"I thought you would reunite after you put them on, but I didn't expect there to be a time limit." Lu Bian glanced at the Potara earrings and put them away.

"We haven't had a proper martial arts sparring session yet, have we?"

"Oh, you want to challenge us?" Erlang Shen looked at the roadside.

"It's just a friendly spar. I'm quite curious about your martial arts skills, True Lord," said the man by the roadside.

"The righteous gods of Heaven forbid private duels," Erlang Shen said calmly.

"You can come find me," Yang Erlang said with a smile to someone by the roadside.

"I'm going back now, or my brothers will start to worry about me," Yang Erlang said, looking at Erlang Shen.

"You rascal..." Yang Erlang's eyes held a lot of dissatisfaction, directed at Erlang Shen.

As the clouds rose and people left, Yang Erlang vanished into the horizon in the blink of an eye.

"I have something to attend to, goodbye."

There was no one to be seen on the roadside.

……

Chenxiang was led by the green ox to the Tushita Palace on the Thirty-Third Heaven.

Following the green ox into the alchemy room, Laozi opened his eyes on the reclining chair upon hearing the noise.

Laozi pointed to the outside of the alchemy room, leaving Chenxiang completely bewildered.

"Master asked you to chop firewood for him," Qingniu said to Chenxiang.

"Ox, you've run away again without permission. Tell me, how should you be punished?" Laozi asked the green ox.

"I didn't go out on my own; it was Li Jing's daughter, Li Xiaomei, who dragged me there. And it wasn't for personal business; it was to punish the Golden-Winged Roc that was causing trouble in the mortal realm," the Green Ox explained.

"Don't think I don't know that you gave all your things to Li's little sister and secretly did something bad."

Chenxiang obediently sat down by the woodpile outside the alchemy room, picked up the axe and began chopping wood, while Laozi was eavesdropping on the words of the Supreme Lord Laozi instructing the Green Ox inside the alchemy room.

Chenxiang picked up a piece of dry firewood and placed it on the woodpile. He swung the axe with all his might, but the axe got stuck in the firewood.

"Can't you use a little more force, young man?"

Chenxiang looked up and saw Laozi walking out of the alchemy room and speaking to him.

"Yes." Chenxiang nodded.

Instead of sitting down to chop wood, he assumed a horse stance in front of the woodpile and used all his strength to chop the wood.

The complete mastery of the skill allowed Chenxiang to clearly know which part of the wood would be easier to split. However, after splitting for a while, Chenxiang was surprised to find that he was actually feeling tired, with the muscles in his legs, waist, and shoulders aching.

He was chopping wood like an ordinary person.

"What are you doing? Slacking off?" Lao Jun said to Chen Xiang from the side.

"No, sir, I'll finish chopping soon," Chenxiang said.

"Hmm." Lao Jun took a few more steps back to the alchemy room.

"We're out of firewood, bring some in for me," Laozi called out from inside the alchemy room.

"Coming right away!" Chenxiang scratched his head.

Was the important matter that the green ox told him about actually about chopping wood for Laozi?
It was indeed quite serious that Laozi ran out of firewood while refining elixirs.

Chenxiang carried a stack of firewood into the alchemy room. Laojun pointed to a spot, and Chenxiang put the bundle of firewood on the ground.

"Really..." Laozi was very dissatisfied and personally added firewood to the bottom of the alchemy furnace.

Chenxiang was a little puzzled. Why didn't Laozi have any servants around him? He did all the miscellaneous tasks of alchemy himself.

"What are you looking at? Hurry up and chop some wood!"

Chenxiang hurriedly went outside the alchemy room to chop firewood.

Chenxiang chopped firewood of uniform size and length, and worked very efficiently. By the time it got dark, all the firewood outside the alchemy room had been chopped and neatly stacked by Chenxiang in the corner.

"Master, may I go back now?"

"Give it back? Go chop some firewood for me tomorrow. This batch of pills will take forty-nine days to refine!" Laozi said to Chenxiang.

"I see."

Chenxiang rubbed his temples; half a year had passed in the mortal realm.

"Don't just sit idly by, go and take the oxen to the Milky Way to graze," Laozi commanded Chenxiang.

"I understand, sir."

Chenxiang went to the cowshed and led the blue ox out. The old ox then led Chenxiang to the Milky Way.

"Old Niu, why did Laozi ask me to chop wood?" Chenxiang asked, puzzled.

“If you use the master’s things, you have to work for the master,” the green ox replied.

"Did my uncle also work for Laozi?" Chenxiang asked again.

"This axe of yours was borrowed from Laozi by Yang Erlang. Of course, it wasn't borrowed for nothing," the green ox replied calmly.

"Old Niu, you were the one who killed the Golden-Winged Roc in the end, weren't you?" Chenxiang said.

"Hehe, just lucky, just lucky," Qingniu laughed.

"You didn't use your full strength, did you?" Chenxiang asked curiously.

"Where did you not use your full strength?"

"Old Ox, I'm not good at fighting," said Green Ox.

"Really?" Chenxiang expressed doubt. "I don't think your skills are weaker than the Golden-Winged Roc."

"Who can prove it?"

The blue ox walked into the water and swam freely underwater.

Its true form is a water buffalo, a very common animal in the human world, only with a slightly bluish skin. As for the title "King of the One-Horned Buffalo," it's something he used when he was living among humans; the one-horn was also a lie to prevent being recognized at a glance.

"Chenxiang, are you alright?"

Chenxiang turned around and saw Li Zhenying appear by the Milky Way.

"It's alright, the Golden-Winged Roc has been taken by Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva to be reincarnated," Chenxiang said to Li Zhenying.

"Did he reincarnate? Isn't that letting him off too easily?" Li Zhenying asked.

“Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said that even the eighteen levels of hell are not a punishment for him. Only by experiencing human suffering in the human realm can he reflect on his sins,” Chenxiang said.

"Has the Heavenly Court withdrawn its troops?" Chenxiang asked Li Zhenying.

"My brother is in charge of finishing up the affairs of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom. I heard that the Golden Serpent Demon led the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom to escape to Beiju Luzhou. My brother asked the Northern Demon-Slaying Heavenly Venerable Zhenwu Emperor to help wipe out the remnants of the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom," Li Zhenying replied.

"What urgent matter did Grandpa Niu bring you to the Great Luo Heaven for?" Li Zhenying asked curiously.

"It's hard to say, but it's definitely urgent." Chen Xiang smiled awkwardly.

He dared not say that the urgent matter was that Laozi's family didn't have enough firewood, and that he had been summoned to heaven to chop wood.

The roadside told Chenxiang many mythological stories, and the first story the roadside told Chenxiang was the story of Taishang creating the world, which left a deep impression on Chenxiang.
