Martial Arts Crossover: Infiltrating a Girls' Chat Group at the Start

As Xuanzang answered, he was gradually persuaded to go to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures.

The brocade cassock and the nine-ringed staff naturally ended up in his hands.

The old monk continued, "On the journey to the Western Paradise, there are many demons and monsters. Xuanzang is just a mortal, and he needs the protection of someone with great supernatural powers."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately thought of Lin Zhu, but dared not rashly help him take on the job.

Upon seeing this, the old monk revealed his true form and said, "Amitabha, this humble monk is Miaoshan, greetings to the Tang Emperor."

As soon as the image of Guanyin appeared, the surrounding Buddhist believers were stunned and immediately knelt down.

"It is Guanyin Bodhisattva, I have met Guanyin Bodhisattva."

Even the ministers knelt down.

In the center of the arena, only Li Shimin remained standing. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he only knelt before Heaven and Earth, and his parents.

Lin Zhu and the people around him stood out in the crowd and were spotted by Li Shimin.

"So it was Guanyin Bodhisattva." Although Li Shimin did not perform a grand salute, he returned the salute with his hands clasped.

Guanyin smiled and waved, unleashing her magic power amidst the overwhelming fortune of the Tang Dynasty to help everyone up, and then looked at Lin Zhu.

"I wonder if the True Lord would be willing to protect Xuanzang along the way?"

This had already been discussed beforehand, and Lin Zhu readily agreed, "Okay!"

Everyone present was very puzzled. Who was Zhenjun?

Li Shimin looked at Lin Zhu, surprised that his brother-in-law had such a background.

The title of True Lord is quite prestigious, and it is highly regarded even in the Heavenly Court.

He hurriedly walked towards Lin Zhu, "Brother-in-law, why didn't you tell me you were coming here?"

This was the first time Cheng Yaojin had seen Li Shimin like this. He turned to Qin Shubao beside him and asked, "Second Brother, who is this person? Do you know him?"

How could Qin Shubao not know?

If it weren't for Li Shimin being there first, he would have gone over to catch up with him long ago. However, he still said, "He should be Princess Pingyang's husband. The Qi and Blood Pills you took before were also his doing."

"So impressive." Yuchi Jingde also looked over, and together with Cheng Yaojin, they started to have their own thoughts.

Since the establishment of the Tang Dynasty, the Qi and Blood Pill has disappeared, and their strength has remained at the early stage of the War God Realm.

Therefore, neither of them could defeat Qin Shubao in a single exchange.

There used to be Luo Cheng who could fight him, but during the Wude era, Luo Cheng was tricked and killed by Li Yuanji.

Therefore, at this time, Qin Shubao's martial prowess was unparalleled.

Those who were in front of Qin Shubao usually encountered unexpected events.

Li Shimin now only sets aside his imperial dignity when facing a limited number of people, such as Lin Zhu, Li Xiuning, and Empress Zhangsun.

Lin Zhu was quite satisfied with his attitude and said, "We're just here to join in the fun, you don't need to pay any attention to us."

When the people of the Tang Dynasty saw Li Shimin's attitude toward Lin Zhu, they knew who the so-called true ruler was.

But they couldn't recognize which True Lord it was.

Erlang Shen doesn't look like this at all; he looks like a fairy.

This was the thought in the hearts of almost all subjects of the Tang Dynasty.

They originally thought Xuanzang was already handsome enough, but they didn't expect someone to be even more handsome than him.

Li Shimin asked, "Brother-in-law, are you really willing to accompany Xuanzang to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"

"It's only been a little over ten years, it's nothing," Lin Zhu waved his hand.

Li Shimin then recovered. Lin Zhu had an infinite lifespan and great abilities, so naturally he was not afraid.

"Then I will see my brother-in-law and Xuanzang off tomorrow."

The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was thus decided.

Guanyin smiled and said, "Excellent!"

Then, she turned around and bowed to Lin Zhu in Buddhist salutation before heading south with Huian Xingzhe Muzha to rest in the Purple Bamboo Forest of the South China Sea.

That very evening, Li Shimin and Xuanzang became sworn brothers.

He had originally planned to bring Lin Zhu along and have him recognized as his elder brother.

But thinking that Lin Zhu would probably disagree, I decided against it.

The next day, Lin Zhu appeared outside the west gate of Chang'an City riding a large black and white dumpling.

At this moment, Lin Zhao's body returned to its appearance in the Divine Continent World, and he safely passed the tribulation of the Law Realm.

Wang Yuyan and Yaoyue did not come to see them off.

Last night, Wang Yuyan shared the spiritual delicacies with Lin Zhu, Yaoyue, Diermeng, and Xiaomeng, and then took Xiaoxue back to Nuwa Palace.

Yaoyue returned to the Moon Palace to cultivate.

Jingwei hadn't had enough fun yet and planned to take Xiaomeng on a world tour.

Di Er Meng, Du Gu Meng, and Li Xiu Ning stayed in Chang'an, where they also taught Li Wan Rou and the others how to cultivate.

Zheng Guanyin is now also an immortal. Li Xiuning took pity on her and, based on the principle of "if you can't get rid of one, you can let a whole group go," she taught her.

Although Li Shimin and Empress Zhangsun knew this, they were not envious.

Outside Chang'an City, Lin Zhu waited for a short while before seeing an army slowly walk out of the city gate.

Leading them were Li Shimin and Tang Xuanzang.

"You've finally arrived."

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin immediately dismounted.

Tang Xuanzang also dismounted, his movements quite agile.

He also possessed martial prowess; after all, that nine-ringed tin staff was no light weapon, and he could carry it over mountains and valleys, demonstrating his immense strength.

"I apologize for keeping you waiting, brother-in-law. I had a great discussion with my brother about Buddhism last night and benefited greatly," Li Shimin explained to himself and Tang Xuanzang.

"Alright, let's get through the formalities quickly, then we'll head to the Western Paradise." Lin Zhu waved his hand, then leaped onto the back of the giant dumpling.

It feels very comfortable to be wrapped in soft fur.

"I'll wait for you up ahead."

Lin Zhao understood and walked westward step by step.

Cheng Yaojin, who was in the group, whispered to Yuchi Gong, "This white bear is really big. I wonder what it would be like to lie on it. I, Cheng, will take leave and go to Sichuan to catch one in a while."

Yuchi Gong said, "Let's go together."

On the other hand, Li Shimin insisted on giving Tang Xuanzang a cup of wine, and then bestowed upon him the name Tang Sanzang.

After drinking the wine mixed with earth, Tang Sanzang said, "Your Majesty, when all the trees in Chang'an turn westward, that will be the day I return."

Before Li Shimin could reply, Lin Zhu muttered, "There's blood mixed with fertilizer from the farmland outside Chang'an. I wonder if eating it will cause diarrhea."

Li Shimin also heard it.

But since these words came from Lin Zhu, he didn't dare to get angry, which made him feel very awkward.

Cheng Yaojin couldn't help but burst out, "Pfft~ Haha... Ha!"

Yuchi Gong punched him, "You fatso, what are you laughing at?"

"Hey, you big black guy, what are you doing? You're getting handsy." Cheng Yaojin hadn't yet realized the seriousness of the situation.

Li Shimin snorted coldly.

Then Lin Zhu asked, "Is it done yet?"

Cheng Yaojin shuddered upon hearing Li Shimin's cold snort, knowing he was in for trouble.

Then, a flash of inspiration struck me—I had a solution.

Chapter 934 The Strict Tang Monk

He rode forward and said, "Your Majesty, Old Cheng would like to see the True Lord and the High Monk off. After all, someone needs to carry their luggage, doesn't he?"

Li Shimin sneered inwardly, 'Well done, Cheng Yaojin; you do have some quick wit.'

Qin Shubao also said, "Your Majesty, I had the honor of meeting the True Lord a few times in the past and even received his assistance. I wonder if I could see the True Lord off?"

He genuinely wanted to thank Lin Zhu.

Before Li Shimin could agree, Lin Zhu waved his hand and said, "Alright, it's just a few pieces of luggage. I'll take them. What's there to be picky about?"

Having said that, he flicked his sleeve and put Tang Sanzang's luggage inside.

"Ah, this..." Tang Sanzang was stunned for a moment, then stepped forward and bowed to Lin Zhu in a Buddhist gesture, "True Lord, please take out my luggage."

Lin Zhu asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"

Tang Sanzang explained, "Replying to Your Excellency, Guanyin Bodhisattva said that one must be down-to-earth on the journey to the Western Paradise. This humble monk cannot use Your Excellency's magic to do anything convenient, please forgive me."

Lin Zhu paused for a moment, "You Buddhist sects are quite troublesome." He still put the luggage out, then waved to Cheng Yaojin, "Old Cheng, you can choose the luggage. Come back after someone else has chosen it."

"Alright, I'm here, Cheng Yaojin!" Cheng Yaojin was overjoyed. He dismounted and picked up Tang Sanzang's luggage.

Lin Zhu then looked at Qin Shubao, who was itching to move, and said, "General Qin, you're not feeling well, so please don't move."

Qin Shubao sighed, "Thank you for your concern, True Lord."

Lin Zhu finally looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Li Er, is there anything else you want to say?"

"Li, Li Er?" Changsun Wuji, who was following Li Shimin, couldn't help but ask. He hadn't heard much about Lin Zhu, which only showed how well Changsun Wugou had kept it a secret.

"How dare you! Although the True Lord is all-powerful, he cannot insult His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Tang Dynasty."

Lin Zhu looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Who is this? Wei Zheng?"

"This old minister is Changsun Wuji." Changsun Wuji appeared as a loyal subject vowing to protect his lord to the death.

Lin Zhu sized him up a few times, then looked at Li Shimin and asked, "Didn't you and Wu Gou tell him about me?"

"My brother-in-law didn't give permission, so Wu Gou and I didn't tell anyone else."
