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

Li Shimin was already used to being called Li Er, so he wasn't angry even though Lin Zhu called him that to his face.

Li Yuan is still alive and well. Ever since Lin Zhu visited him a few times, he has been calling Li Shimin "Li Er" every day, never "Er Lang".

“You are quite good, and your third son Li Ke is also quite good, just like you. It just so happens that he hasn’t cultivated the art of war yet, so you can have Xiu Ning teach him martial arts, which is also a path to immortality.”

Changsun Wuji was somewhat puzzled, as if he had been ignored.

Upon hearing this, Li Shimin's eyes lit up. "I thank my brother-in-law on behalf of Ke'er."

Lin Zhu added, "After I leave, have Wu Gou visit Xiu Ning more often; it will be good for her health."

"I understand, Shimin." Li Shimin then asked, "Can I come along too?"

"Go ask your second sister." Lin Zhu then looked at Changsun Wuji. "Your brother-in-law is not bad, but he's a bit ruthless. He shouldn't have too much power, so he can have a peaceful end."

"I understand." Li Shimin said, looking at Changsun Wuji, "Wuji, from now on it won't be me withholding power from you; you must die a peaceful death!"

Changsun Wuji was dumbfounded and almost vomited blood.

Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong were secretly laughing; they had long disliked Changsun Wuji.

At the same time, I think Lin Zhu's assessment is correct; he is indeed an old hand.

"Alright, Lao Cheng, and Sanzang, we can set off now."

Cheng Yaojin, carrying his luggage, moved swiftly, aided by the good fortune of the Duke of Lu of the Tang Dynasty.

Tang Sanzang was riding Li Shimin's mount, named Baiyi, which was blessed with the fortune of the Tang emperor and could also run swiftly within the territory of the Tang Dynasty.

By evening, the three of them had arrived in Qinzhou.

The journey from Chang'an to Liangjie Mountain was calm and uneventful.

With Cheng Yaojin around, Tang Sanzang didn't need to beg for alms or ask for lodging; he could stay at inns instead.

Several months passed before they finally reached the border between Jambudvipa and Aparagodaniya, which is also known as the Two Realms Mountain.

At this point, the bloodthirsty aura had faded.

On that day, because they were unfamiliar with the road conditions, the three of them had to sleep outdoors at night.

Looking westward, Lin Zhu knew that Wuzhi Mountain was still tens of thousands of miles away.

Looking at the desolate landscape, with no village or shop in sight, Cheng Yaojin sighed and said, "True Lord, Master, what should we do now?"

"Amitabha." Tang Sanzang quickly chanted the Buddha's name, not letting Lin Zhu speak immediately, because Lin Zhu had too many fallacies, and he himself would sometimes be unintentionally led astray.

"General Cheng, it is common for monks to live a life of hardship and sleep in the open. We can just find a place to rest."

Lin Zhu looked around at the surroundings. It was deep in the mountains and forests, and it was nighttime, so it was a bit eerie, with the atmosphere of a horror movie.

“The Tripitaka Master is right, let’s find a place to rest for a while.” He immediately found a rock, spread out a tablecloth, set out the food, and then called out, “Come and eat, you two.”

"Amitabha, I have a few steamed buns in my luggage. Please help yourselves."

Looking at the meat on the tablecloth, Tang Sanzang felt only guilt.

Cheng Yaojin rubbed his hands together and said, "True Lord, isn't it inappropriate for us to eat these things in front of the sorcerer?"

He said that, but after smelling the aroma, he couldn't stop drooling.

This was the first time he had ever seen Lin Zhu take out such food.

Lin Zhu asked, "Just tell me if you're going to eat or not?"

"Eat, of course I'll eat." Cheng Yaojin didn't stand on ceremony with Lin Zhu and picked up a hoof from some unknown wild animal to gnaw on.

"Delicious, so delicious."

If it is a complete spiritual dish, the aroma is very subtle.

But after Cheng Yaojin took a bite, the aroma of meat filled the air, and it wasn't the usual kind of meaty aroma; there wasn't a trace of greasiness.

Even Tang Sanzang's mouth watered upon smelling it.

He ate the steamed bun as if it were meat.

So he quickly stopped talking and hurriedly said, "Amitabha, Amitabha."

Cheng Yaojin said while eating, "True Lord, why can't monks eat meat?"

"Who says monks can't eat meat? Guanyin Bodhisattva does eat it."

Upon hearing Lin Zhu's words, Cheng Yaojin froze, but didn't forget to gnaw on the pork hock.

Tang Sanzang was even more shocked, wondering how this could be possible.

"Amitabha, True Lord, please do not speak recklessly."

He didn't want to believe it from the bottom of his heart.

Cheng Yaojin also woke up with a start, "You jest, True Lord."

Lin Zhu shook his head and said, "It was only from the time of Emperor Wu of Liang that monks stopped eating meat. I have saved a picture of Guanyin Bodhisattva eating meat. Do you want to see it?"

Cheng Yaojin lowered his head, "I, Old Cheng, dare not look."

Tang Sanzang closed his eyes and did not answer.

But deep down he thought: Lin Zhu knows magic, and I am just a mortal, so he will definitely use illusions to fool me.

We had now left Jambudvipa, and there were many demons and monsters in the mountains and forests, but the food in the bamboo grove was full of spiritual energy and fragrance.

This attracted many uninvited guests.

Chapter 935 A Backstab from the Goddess Houtu

A tiger's roar came from the mountains and forests, accompanied by a gust of wind and a strong aura of demonic energy.

Immediately following was a bear's roar.

Two gusts of demonic wind swept in, making Tang Sanzang's legs go weak. He looked at Lin Zhu and said, "True Lord, there is, there is a demon."

Cheng Yaojin wanted to show off in front of Lin Zhu, so he said, "Let me, Old Cheng, do it."

Having said that, a large axe appeared in his hand, and he shouted loudly into the forest: "Where did this monster come from, daring to be so insolent in front of your Grandpa Cheng?"

The sound of grass and trees rustling in the forest grew more urgent, and then a white-browed tiger with piercing eyes and a black bear with a moon-white coat appeared on either side of Cheng Yaojin.

"It smells good, really good." The black bear spoke in a human voice, its gaping maw, big enough to swallow a person whole, dripped with thick, sticky fluid, and a stench filled the air.

"Old man, if you know what's good for you, hand over the food, and I, your humble servant, might grant you a quick death." The tiger's voice resonated in the surrounding air; if an ordinary person heard it, they would probably be terrified.

"Such arrogance! Take this from me, Old Cheng, with my axe!"

Cheng Yaojin swung his axe, his aura of bloodlust swirling around him, and cleaved the tiger monster with a single blow.

But for some reason, he felt as if his strength had weakened.

However, it's enough to deal with these two little demons.

This axe strike came too fast, Cheng Yaojin's power was too strong, the tiger monster couldn't dodge it at all, and was split in two by the axe blade formed by the bloodthirsty power.

The black bear monster was terrified. He never expected that Cheng Yaojin, this fat old man, could possess such enormous power in his small body.

I didn't sense any spiritual energy fluctuations from him!

"Spare me! Spare my life!"

It was also a creature that could bend and stretch, and it prostrated itself on the ground, pleading, "Brave man, please spare my life."

This was the first time Tang Sanzang had witnessed such a bloody scene. He closed his eyes and kept chanting "Amitabha Buddha".

Cheng Yaojin turned to Lin Zhu and asked, "True Lord, what should we do with this bear monster?"

Lin Zhu immediately noticed the intense malevolent aura emanating from the black bear and said, "Kill it."

"No!" Tang Sanzang stopped him, "General Cheng, Heaven cherishes life..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lin Zhu extended a finger, and a white-gold sword aura flew out, piercing through the black bear monster's forehead.

Then he glanced at Tang Sanzang and said, "So indecisive, not like a man."

Tang Sanzang was dumbfounded. "True Lord, how could you do this? It has already begged for mercy, why did you have to take its life?"

Lin Zhu realized how long-winded Tang Sanzang was. Given Sun Wukong's personality, if he didn't put the golden headband on Tang Sanzang's head, he would probably be beaten to death.

After all, they would be living together for more than a decade, so Lin Zhu patiently explained, "This black bear has the strength of a Xuanxian realm and is innate evil energy in its body, making it a demon. If it is released, it will kill many people."

"Ah, this?" Tang Sanzang was taken aback upon hearing this, then forced himself to explain, "Perhaps this humble monk can convert him."

"You?" Lin Zhu shook his head. "Don't even think about it. Besides, killing is for the sake of protecting life, and cutting off karma is not killing people. So don't worry about whether these two demons are dead or alive. Also, don't talk, just eat your food quietly."

Tang Sanzang felt that Lin Zhu's words were fallacious and was about to continue to argue.

Lin Zhu reacted swiftly, striking Tang Seng's speech acupoint from a distance.

Tang Seng opened his mouth, but couldn't make a sound. He could only stare at Lin Zhu with a very aggrieved look.

He's never been this angry before. How could this person be like this?

After Tang Seng's voice disappeared, Lin Zhu's ears were much quieter.

Cheng Yaojin remained silent to the side, for he could not afford to offend either Lin Zhu or Tang Seng.

Meanwhile, Yang Jian scanned the sky and finally found Tang Sanzang.

Then I met Lin Zhu.

"Wait, what's this guy doing here?"

My gaze shifted, and I saw the corpses of a tiger and a bear.

"Looks like I came for nothing."

Lin Zhu felt the gaze directed at him, so he looked up at the sky and saw Yang Jian.

"Erlang Zhenjun, what brings you here?"

He remembered that he should come, and it should be Venus.

Since Lin Zhu had already greeted them, Yang Jian couldn't refuse. He first bowed to Tang Sanzang and said, "Holy Monk, it's been a long time."

Tang Sanzang wondered if he had ever met this majestic and handsome True Lord before.

So he opened his mouth, but only his upper and lower lips collided, without making a sound.
