From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

Therefore.

Gu Yue Yuanjue is his senior brother!

Zhong Meier didn't understand these words and continued to ask, "Why do you want to go west to obtain the scriptures? Didn't your master in your previous life already obtain the true scriptures?"

"They've obtained it, but is there peace on earth now? Are all the evil spirits in the eighteen levels of hell gone?"

Before Zhong Meier could answer, Jiang Liu replied, "The world is not at peace. The Southern Continent is still rife with strife and killing, a battlefield of words and a sea of ​​trouble."

Countless people died between the Tang and Song dynasties.

How can hell ever be empty?

Since hell is not yet empty, how can the journey to the west be stopped?

Just as it is your brother's duty to capture the evil spirits of the world, he too is never at rest.

"Humph!"

Zhong Meier said with dissatisfaction, "My brother did this to ward off evil spirits and protect the peace of this area."

"We are the same."

Jiang Liu drank a bowl of "Immortal's Intoxication" and, ignoring the girl's praise of her brother, simply complimented, "Your brewed wine is quite good."

Upon hearing this, Zhong Meier paused, stopping her endless praise of Zhong Kui. She glanced at Jiang Liu in surprise, then put her hands on her hips and chuckled, "You monkey do have some taste! My brewing and cooking skills are unparalleled! It was thanks to me that my brother was able to recover his strength after fighting the evil spirits!"

"is it?"

Jiang Liu looked at Zhong Kui with a half-smile.

The latter covered her face in embarrassment.

The sight of such a burly, iron-willed man displaying such embarrassment caused Pigsy, Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, and the others to burst into laughter...

Chapter 1459 Laozi in the Form of a Crane

Silent all night.

As dawn broke in the east, Liang Luzhen's fur trembled in the morning breeze. He slowly opened his eyes and saw himself hanging from a bamboo pole with a large pot of boiling soup below him. Terrified, his hair stood on end, and for a moment he forgot to circulate his qi. He could only cry out in a trembling voice, "Help! Help! Someone wants to eat wolf meat!"

"Hey, isn't this the little wolf from the Wolf Forest? What's he doing swinging here?" Pigsy walked out the door, patted his belly, and chuckled when he saw this comical and familiar scene.

"Second Senior Brother, please save me!"

Upon seeing Pigsy, Lianglu was overjoyed.

But Pigsy changed his smiling face and scolded, "You blockhead, you're really lazy! Your senior brother told you to patrol the mountain, but instead of finding the Lotus Cave on Flat Top Mountain, you took the wrong path and came to this Dragon-Suppressing Cave, where you ate and drank to your heart's content and got so drunk that you passed out. What should your punishment be?"

"I was wrong! I was wrong!" Liang Luzhen quickly apologized.

"I think you're just scared of dying."

Bajie said with a smile.

Even so, since they were practicing together, they still had to be saved. So they used a rake to pull the bamboo pole off the big pot and untie the golden ropes binding Liang Luzhen's hands and feet.

This is precisely—

Lü Zhen led his horse to patrol the mountains, where the water and soil flowed and the Qi roamed the rivers. His willful horse broke free to find his restless heart, and the wood-mother solidified the earth to build bricks.

The bricks are sturdy, the furnace is cast, and the mind is stable and the old woman is kind. The Golden Duke still needs to circulate the Qi throughout the body, and the Five Elements gather to form the elixir.

Once free, Liang Luzhen saw Zhong Kui and Zhong Meier seeing Jiang Liu, Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, Ba Jing, and the others off. He knew perfectly well that he had been deliberately hung up all night, and couldn't help but complain, "Senior Brother, you're really good at playing pranks. How could you make me hang up all night?"

"I wasn't telling you to be hanged, but I saw you were sleeping so soundly that I couldn't bear to wake you." Jiang Liu laughed and then told him about what happened yesterday.

In an instant.

Good shoes send chills down my spine.

If his senior brother hadn't arrived in time yesterday to clear up the misunderstanding, he would probably have been boiled in hot soup three times over!

"Thank you so much, Senior Brother, for saving my life. I will never drink again!" Liang Luzhen knelt down with a thud and kowtowed three times to Jiang Liu.

"Get up."

Jiang Liu smiled, helped Lu Zhen up, brushed the dust off his clothes, and said with a smile, "It's not that I'm asking you not to drink, I just hope you won't be too greedy for alcohol in the future."

after all--

Wine is the essence of grains, and its mellow aroma can soothe the soul.

It's hard to dispel sorrow, and it can't be like sweet rain.

Liang Luzhen noted it down, packed his luggage, used the long axe as a carrying pole, shouldered it, and bid farewell to Zhong Kui and Zhong Meier with Jiang Liu and the others, heading west in the rising sun.

Only after they disappeared from sight did Zhong Meier lower her hand and ask Zhong Kui, "Brother, was that really the reincarnation of the Monkey King?"

"It can't be fake."

Zhong Kui confirmed this and ordered the two ghost kings to bring the purple-gold gourd and the jade bottle. He also personally took the banana leaf fan, the hilt of the Seven Star Sword, and fragments of the blade. Then he said to Zhong Meier, "Give me the Golden Rope as well. These are all Supreme Treasures. Now it is time to return these treasures."

All babies are good babies.

It's a pity—

It was not something he could touch.

otherwise!

He dared not even think about proving his faith through death.

If one dies, and all thoughts in this world completely dissipate, will one still remember one's sister upon reincarnation?

On courage and boldness.

He is far inferior to the Monkey King!

"Give."

Zhong Meier picked up the golden rope from the ground and handed it to Zhong Kui.

"You used the Golden Rope to tie up Liang Luzhen?" When he returned yesterday, it was already dark, and Zhong Kui didn't pay much attention. He never expected that his sister would use this treasure as a kitchen utensil!

“That Ruyi Jingu Bang (the magic staff) was once used as a stabilizer, so why can’t this golden rope be used as a kitchen utensil?” Zhong Meier argued confidently. “It was originally Laozi’s belt!”

"You ah you!"

This is the only girl in my family.

You can't scold them.

They can't be hit either.

What can be done?

He had no choice but to ask Bai Ze to stay home and guard the gate, while he himself used his magic to transform into a wisp of black smoke, ride the wind, and leap into the nine heavens.

Entering the South Heavenly Gate, walking along the cloud path, one arrives directly at the outside of the Tushita Palace in the Thirty-Third Heaven.

The young Taoist priest outside the door saw him arrive and scolded, "Where did this ugly fellow come from? How dare you come to such a place? Get out of here at once!"

Zhong Kui was already used to this, and simply bowed and said, "I hope you know that I have completed the task assigned by my master and have come to return the magic weapon."

Upon hearing this, the young Taoist priest, who was about to show off his power again, twitched his ears and heard footsteps behind him. He saw a celestial official who was nine feet tall, wearing a white robe, with a long neck, bird beak, and a vermilion crown, come out. He hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, I failed to greet you. Please forgive me!"

The crane-like celestial official ignored the boy and looked at Zhong Kui, his voice slightly hoarse, revealing neither joy nor anger: "Is the matter settled?"

"It's done, sir. Everything's here."

Zhong Kui knelt down and presented the red gourd, the jade bottle, the golden rope, the banana leaf fan, and the broken Seven Star Sword.

The crane immortal didn't pay much attention to the red gourd and jade bottle with the invitations, but when he saw that the Seven Star Sword was broken, his pupils shrank: "How did it break?"

“It was broken by the chosen one.” Zhong Kui bowed his head and told the truth, “I fought with him and struck him with my sword. He didn’t lose a single hair on his head, but this sword broke.”

Upon hearing this, a hint of helplessness appeared in the Crane Immortal's eyes, and he sighed, "Very well, that monkey has reincarnated several times, I wonder what great magic he has comprehended. His Azure Vault Dharma Form can support heaven and earth. Last time, he killed Zhen Yuanzi, toppled Longevity Mountain, destroyed the Four Heavenly Kings, and beheaded the Twenty-Eight Constellations..."

The newly appointed Giant Spirit God was also beheaded by him in the Kingdom of Baoxiang.

It's normal that you're no match for him.

Hearing these things, Zhong Kui was momentarily dazed, recalling the gentle and refined demeanor of the chosen one from yesterday... and the tyrannical chosen one described by the Crane Immortal...

Is it really the same person?

"What about the body of the nine-tailed old fox?" the Crane Master asked.

"Master, my body was taken away by that chosen one. He said he's a cultivator, not someone who starves to death." Zhong Kui gritted his teeth and told a lie.

Crane Immortal knew that Zhong Kui was an honest man with a strong and unyielding nature. When he was alive, he had committed suicide by hitting his head against a pillar because the emperor in the mortal world thought he was ugly and had no hope of serving his country. He was not good at lying, so he did not suspect anything. He simply said, "Forget it. Even if I really get that thing, I can't use it openly. Otherwise, I won't be able to explain it to His Majesty. Just give it to him."

Zhong Kui: "..."

This Heavenly Court—

So dark!

“I know you can’t stand these things, but to become a saint and maintain immortality, you need the spiritual energy of all living beings.”

In the early primordial era, spiritual essence roamed the world, and one breath could extend one's lifespan. Cultivators did not need to worry about their lifespan. After several kalpas, the spiritual essence gradually transformed into all things and ceased to roam. This was the will of Heaven in order to seek longevity.

At this point, if immortals and Buddhas wish to maintain their longevity, they must nourish themselves with the spiritual essence of all living things.

These words darkened Zhong Kui's expression, for his exorcising evil spirits and catching demons was essentially nothing more than seizing the spiritual essence of those evil ghosts and monsters.

If it's simply for sustenance, then humans consuming all living beings is in accordance with the laws of nature. However, he also needs to cultivate himself by consuming the flesh and blood of evil spirits and monsters.

How ironic?

"Go down to the mortal realm. I will speak to His Majesty about your matter."

Seeing Zhong Kui's gloomy expression, Crane Immortal waved his hand and said.

"Yes, sir..."

Chapter 1460 Many Children, Many Blessings: An Investment

After the crane immortal left, Zhong Kui finally caught his breath and stood up, only to see two young Taoist boys arrive.

Both of the Taoist boys were dressed in white Taoist robes, but one had a gold topknot and the other had a silver topknot; they were the Gold and Silver Boys.

"Zhong Kui, did you kill our mother?"
