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

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Sanzang, your cultivation hasn't declined over the years, that's good."

Upon hearing Lin Zhu speak, Tang Sanzang and Ji Gong both looked at him.

"True Lord, how did you know I was here?" Tang Sanzang was clearly excited to see an old friend.

Ji Gong also recognized Lin Zhu. Not only did he see Buddha spying on them every day when they were in Lingshan, but he was also fortunate enough to attend the Peach Banquet.

"Amitabha Buddha, greetings to True Lord Lin Zhu."

"Dragon-Subduing Arhat, it's been a long time." Lin Zhu nodded to Ji Gong.

Fahai and Guangliang were bewildered. Biqing asked, "Dragon-Subduing Arhat? What Dragon-Subduing Arhat?"

Wanwan looked at Ji Gong with disgust. His shoes were tattered, his hat was tattered, and his cassock was torn. He was too filthy.

Tang Sanzang understood and asked, "Does the True Lord mean that Zen Master Daoji is the reincarnation of the Arhat who subdues dragons?"

Lin Zhu nodded, "That's right."

Ji Gong did not deny it.

Guangliang was stunned. "Daoji, are you really an Arhat? Or the Dragon-Subduing Arhat in the Great Buddha Hall?"

Bi Qing also looked incredulous.

“Amitabha, all the things of the past life are now just fleeting clouds. Now there is only the disheveled monk Daoji from Lingyin Temple.” Ji Gong smiled and said to Guangliang, “Brother, you don’t need to be so polite.”

"You...you...you..." Guangliang was momentarily unable to accept it, looking Ji Gong up and down repeatedly. "This shouldn't be happening. How could you be the reincarnation of the Arhat Subduing Dragon?"

“That’s right!” Bi Qing chimed in.

Lin Zhu asked curiously, "Did the Zen Master reincarnate this time to guide these two back to Mount Ling?"

Chapter 1147 Tang Sanzang: I advise you to be kind

Guangliang and Biqing, seeing Lin Zhu looking at them with disbelief, asked, "Is it us? Does that mean we have identities too?"

They immediately beamed with joy.

Tang Sanzang was somewhat curious. He looked at Guangliang and Biqing, then turned to Lin Zhu and asked, "True Lord, may I ask who these two masters are?"

Fahai was puzzled for a moment, feeling that these two were not simple people, while he was just an ordinary monk.

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "Speaking of which, these two have a connection with you, Sanzang."

He never mentions himself in a single sentence!

Tang Sanzang was even more surprised, "Is there some karmic connection between us?"

Ji Gong asked curiously, "Brother Guangliang and Biqing are also reincarnated? In the last few hundred years, only..." He paused, looked at Guangliang and Biqing again, and then quickly looked up at the sky, "No way, how come it's them?"

Seeing that his expression was genuine, Lin Zhu asked in surprise, "You didn't know before?"

Ji Gong shook his head, "I really don't know. This humble monk was reincarnated in the mortal realm because of a bet with the Seventeen Arhats, and also to do some good deeds."

He smiled somewhat shyly.

Wanwan snorted, "A monk is even making bets with people; he's not pure of heart. It seems I have to go back to the underworld and talk to the goddess, and have Ksitigarbha stay in the Avici Hell and cut off his connection with your Buddhist sect."

"Hmm?" Ji Gong was surprised. It turned out that this person was also someone of status. He hurriedly asked, "May I ask who this fairy is?"

Wanwan said proudly, "Wanwan, the Reincarnation Envoy."

Ji Gong suddenly remembered that, according to legend, a group of stunningly beautiful reincarnation envoys emerged from the underworld several hundred years ago. Their cultivation and combat power were extremely strong, and it seemed that they were personally trained by the Goddess Houtu. He never expected to find one right in front of him.

This person is someone who can actually speak with the Goddess Houtu; he felt he had said the wrong thing before.

"Please forgive me, fairy. I spoke without thinking. But my original intention for this reincarnation was good. Although it was a bet, it was indeed to do some good deeds."

Lin Zhu also acknowledged this point, saying that Ji Gong was indeed a highly accomplished monk. He then said to Wanwan, "Wanwan, don't make things difficult for this Living Buddha Ji Gong. He's different from other monks. His only flaw is that he abandoned his wife on their wedding day."

Ji Gong opened his mouth and blurted out, "You know that too?"

He was very ashamed, realizing that he had indeed done something wrong, but he still explained, "This humble monk is destined to become a monk, and this is also to prevent Rouge from suffering as much harm as possible."

Lin Zhu nodded and said, "So Rouge died, apparently by jumping off a cliff."

"What?" Ji Gong was shocked upon hearing this and quickly began to calculate.

Although he awakened his past life memories just before his wedding, his feelings for Rouge before the marriage were genuine.

How could one not be moved upon hearing that Rouge had jumped off a cliff?

He kept calculating with his fingers, but couldn't figure it out.

But the fact that the calculation doesn't show the best outcome means that Rouge didn't die.

Because once someone dies, it can be calculated.

The fact that it wasn't calculated meant that something unexpected had happened to Rouge, and it was an unpredictable one at that.

Seeing his anxiety, Wanwan felt indignant on behalf of her fellow woman, Yanzhi, and said, "Now you're in a hurry? Where were you when you abandoned your wife?"

Lin Zhu said, "I've come to Lingyin Temple to become a monk."

Distracted by this, Wanwan couldn't help but hit him, saying, "Don't mess around."

It was the sound of people cracking sunflower seeds again.

Lin Zhu looked over upon hearing the sound and saw that Tang Sanzang had been cracking melon seeds at some point, and had even brought Fahai along with him.

Guangliang and Biqing were watching intently.

Seeing Lin Zhu looking over, Tang Sanzang reached out and offered him the pumpkin seeds, asking, "Would you like some, True Lord?"

Wanwan's lips twitched twice, and she asked in a low voice, "Little Bamboo, why is this Tang Monk different from what you described? He seems a bit unserious."

Lin Zhu said, "He was originally quite serious."

Wanwan pressed on, "Then how did it turn out like this?"

Lin Zhu looked up at the sky with a guilty conscience, feeling that he had probably led Tang Sanzang astray.

Of course, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie were also accomplices.

At that time, only Sha Wujing was still the same as before.

Wanwan knew what was going on as soon as she saw his expression, and whispered, "Why are you so mean?"

Tang Sanzang objected, "I was just cracking some melon seeds, how is that improper?"

Seeing this, Ji Gong thought it was quite absurd, and wondered why these three guys were just as absurd as he was.

However, the fact that Rouge was not dead was good news, and he breathed a sigh of relief.

Seeing that they could finally get a chance to interject, Guangliang and Biqing quickly asked, "Hey everyone, you haven't told us what our past lives were like yet? Were we more powerful than Daoji?"

Lin Zhu looked at the two of them and said, "Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed."

Ji Gong also said, "That's right, heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. It's best if you and your senior brother, Bi Qing, don't know."

"No, Uncle Daoji, that's not right." Biqing was a little anxious. He really wanted to know his identity in his previous life, even more than Guangliang.

Guangliang said, "Daoji, you should know that it is very immoral to keep others in suspense."

Ji Gong said, "Then I, Dao Ji, have no virtue whatsoever."

Guangliang had no choice but to ask Tang Sanzang for help, "Holy Monk, do you know? This is related to your karma."

Tang Sanzang shook his head. He really didn't know. After all, there were many people with whom he had karmic connections, so it couldn't possibly be the Buddha.

“Abbot Guangliang, I am truly sorry, this humble monk did not know either.”

Guangliang and Biqing immediately became dejected, completely forgetting why they had come to see Jigong in the first place.

The two walked towards the main hall, and Biqing muttered to himself as they walked, "Uncle Daoji is so hateful."

After they left, Tang Sanzang asked, "Why is the True Lord in Yuhang?"

Lin Zhu said, "My new home is here."

"Huh?" This question stunned the three monks. Why would a powerful cultivator with advanced cultivation set up a new home in the mortal world?

Lin Zhu smiled and said, "To be precise, it's a grotto-heaven."

Ji Gong was shocked, "There's a hidden paradise in Yuhang? Could it be beneath West Lake?"

Lin Zhu shook her head. "No."

Ji Gong stopped guessing after failing the first time, as it would be impolite to guess again.

"By the way," he said to Fahai, "Fahai, the Baohe Hall you went to before is under my protection. That White Snake has an extraordinary background, so don't cause her any trouble."

"Hmm?" Fahai glanced at Lin Zhu. "Why? That's a snake demon."

"Not all demons are bad. Little White is grateful and repays kindness; she's a good demon. You monk, can't you listen to reason?"

Wanwan wasn't as polite as Lin Zhu, and she retorted with a single sentence.

Ji Gong quickly said, "Little Master Fahai, I also know Bai Suzhen. She has been practicing medicine in Yuhang for the past two and a half years. Her medical skills are superb. She saves lives and does many good deeds. You must not kill innocent people indiscriminately."

Tang Sanzang looked at Fahai and sighed, "Fahai, what have I been telling you all these years? Humans are born of human mothers, and demons are born of demon mothers. So demons and humans are actually the same. As long as you have a kind heart, what does it matter whether you are human or demon? You are still too stubborn, even more so than your eldest brother. Be kind as a person, and even more so as a monk."

Chapter 1148 Wanwan's Little Thoughts

As his master was indeed Tang Sanzang, Fahai was quite obedient and bowed to him, saying, "Disciple will remember your teachings."

In terms of admitting and correcting his mistakes, Fahai was much better than Sun Wukong. Tang Sanzang nodded, "A promising young man."

Then, the curious Sanzang came online and asked, "True Lord, what is the background of that Miss Bai?"

Lin Zhu smiled mysteriously and said, "Even Buddha himself wouldn't dare offend that background. It's better if you don't know." As he spoke, he gave Fahai a meaningful look.

Upon hearing this, Fahai lowered his head. Fortunately, Lin Zhu stopped him in time, preventing him from causing trouble for Bai Suzhen. Otherwise, given his guilty conscience, even if he were skinned alive by the Old Mother of Lishan, no one would plead for him.

Tang Sanzang was also shaken by the experience and said gratefully on behalf of Fahai, "Thank you for the reminder, True Lord. This humble monk thanks you on behalf of my disciple."

Fahai quickly replied, "Thank you, True Lord."

Seeing this, Lin Zhu kindly reminded him, "Xiao Hai, be careful when you're exorcising demons in the future. Don't just shout 'kill' at every demon you encounter. You need to distinguish between good and bad. If you encounter a good demon, you should let it go. If it's an evil demon or monster, kill it if you can, and run away if you can't win. Don't be afraid of the background of evil demons or monsters. Your senior brother is the Great Sage Equaling Heaven of the Heavenly Court. He cares a lot about his reputation, so he's not afraid of monsters with powerful backers."

This wasn't the first time Fahai had heard of Sun Wukong; he turned to look at Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang looked up at the sky, "I wonder how Wukong is doing."
