From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

But now that I have inserted this needle into her body, it can prolong her life. I only ask that she later become a disciple of Guanyin, so that she may atone for her sins through this merit.”

"Very good! Very good!"

Seeing Jiang Liu's amused expression, Bajie felt a little embarrassed, but he also laughed heartily. He then glanced at the pale yellow spider in the grass cage hanging in Pilanpo's hand, patted his belly, and said, "You spiders are lucky. Don't cause any more trouble in the future. Follow Pilanpo Bodhisattva and cultivate diligently!"

at this time.

A dragon's roar came from the east, and Bajing descended from the sky, grabbing a small golden dragon as he landed. He said, "Senior Brother, I encountered Little Yellow Dragon, one of the nine sons of the Jing River Dragon King, in the mountains. He was defeated by me, but his temperament was acceptable, not as fierce as the other nine sons, so I spared his life. I just took the dragon pearl from his neck and brought him here for Senior Brother to decide."

“Bodhisattva, in the future, when you do the cloth business in the Kingdom of Zhu Zi, you must not only do business with high-ranking officials and nobles, but also with ordinary people,” Jiang Liu said to Bodhisattva Pilanpo.

Having been resurrected from the dead and received the true teachings of Jiang Liu, Pilanpo understood that "blending in with the world" was not advisable.

If one does not wish to offer incense at Lingshan, one must find a way to make a living and earn three meals a day.

Hiding away in the deep mountains to cultivate oneself?

There will always be someone who bothers you.

If you want to achieve peace and tranquility, you must first engage with the world and understand the root causes of the impurities in the mundane world.

Therefore.

Jiang Liu had just given the six spiders to Pilanpo so that she could open a textile factory in Zhu Zi Kingdom.

Pilanpo naturally understood what Jiangliu meant.

Spiders can spin silk.

Little Yellow Dragon...

You can fluff cotton!

As one of the nine sons of the Jing River Dragon King, the Little Yellow Dragon corresponds to Qiuniu, one of the nine sons of the dragon in folk legend:

It is a small, golden dragon with unicorn-like horns, crouching with its head raised and mouth open.

Plucking strings brings music from ancient times to the present; appreciating the melodies of the Han, Yi, Bai, and Tibetan peoples.

If you don't even understand how to be a person, don't even think about playing the piano. You should learn how to fluff cotton first.

Little Yellow Dragon: "..."

Zhu Ziguo.

When Jiang Liu, Bajie, and Bajing returned with Pilanpo, Maori Chicken, and Little Yellow Dragon, King Zhu Zi and his civil and military officials were already at the city gate to greet them.

The scene of Bajie transforming into a hundred-foot-tall Dharma image and overturning Pansiling was witnessed by all the people in the city.

"Those mages are truly skilled!"

The king praised them endlessly, but upon seeing Pilanpo and Maoriji, he couldn't help but wonder, "Could these two be passersby who were captured by the monsters of the Zhu family compound?"

"That's not the case. These two are Bodhisattva Pilanpo and Pleiades Star Lord, mother and son. The mother cultivates Buddhism in her heart, and the son cultivates Taoism in his body. It was with their help that we were able to eliminate all the monsters on Pansiling." Jiang Liu introduced the two to the king.

"It's actually a Bodhisattva descending to earth, a celestial being descending to the world!"

The king, his ministers, and the entire city's populace who had surrounded them all paled.

What surprised them even more was that the Bodhisattvas of Buddhism and the immortals of Taoism were actually a mother and son—it turned out that the immortals and Buddhas were one family, and it was just that the monks and Taoists in the mortal world were fighting!

"Bodhisattva, Immortal, I am willing to relinquish my kingdom to you!" The king hurriedly knelt down to pay homage, and then pleaded, "I only wish to be allowed to cultivate under your tutelage."

The civil and military officials also knelt on the ground.

What use would I have for an empire?

Pilanpo was somewhat helpless, but having returned to the world to cultivate, she glanced at Jiang Liu, who was secretly laughing to himself, and could only help him up. She said leisurely, "Bodhisattvas are also cultivators, so don't kneel. Get up. I want to open a yarn workshop in the city to weave cloth and make clothes, and to teach the Great Way. I only hope that Your Majesty will rent the street where the weavers are located to my son and me."

"Why rent it? If the Bodhisattva wants it, I'd rather turn that street into a temple!" the king hurriedly said.

“Why change the temple? What do immortals and Buddhas need incense for? Only ghosts and gods need incense offerings.” Pilanpo shook his head and, after much persuasion, finally convinced the king to change the tribute to a rent.

Seeing the curiosity of the people in the city, Pilanpo looked at Jiang Liu with a hint of helplessness and said, "Great Sage, you shouldn't have revealed the identities of my son and me, causing this trouble for nothing."

"Only ordinary people are afraid of trouble. Bodhisattvas are practitioners, so how can they be afraid of trouble? The more trouble the better," Jiang Liu said with a smile, trying to comfort the old woman.

Pilanpo rolled her eyes, but she also understood that to live a life free from worldly strife, one must understand the causes of conflict and comprehend its principles, and then—

Join the struggle!

Create a truly peaceful and harmonious world!

This goal is virtually impossible.

But as the sage once said:

To do something knowing it is impossible is true wisdom.

Then.

Accompanied by Jiang Liu, Bajie, and the King, Pilanpo and Maoriji went to the street where the weavers lived, where they met Pingping, Luzhen, Huyuan, and Hujue.

"The four of you actually returned to Zhu Zi Kingdom before us?"

Bajie teased, "Your senior brother ordered you to sweep away the monsters that have fled on the mountain, but you are so lazy. This is not the physical training for cultivation!"

Pingping glared at Bajie and explained to Jiang Liu, "Brother Yuanjue, we have already wiped out all the man-eating monsters in the mountains."

In addition, during our sweep of Ziyun Mountain, we encountered a young Taoist priest wearing a stone mask.

The Taoist priest said that the disciples in the temple had used the Qinlang Immortal Egg, and their internal organs had been eaten away by insects, turning them into insect demons. He couldn't bear to kill them and asked us to help him solve the problem, and he also wanted to obtain an insect egg to break the curse.

We initially believed him and killed the Taoists who had become insect demons in the mountains, and seized the eggs of the Qinlang Fairy.

But once that Taoist priest got the egg, he turned his back on us and tried to kill us!

It turns out he wanted to eat insect eggs alive, turning himself into an insect demon, and didn't want to be human anymore!

Liang Luzhen continued, "Luckily, I was quick-witted and snatched the insect egg away, and also smashed the mask on his face."

The brothers Hu Yuan and Hu Jue said, "We were about to finish off that evil Taoist priest when Pingping stopped us, saying that the priest's face looked somewhat like the old woman in the city who sold her cloth."

Pingping pointed to the young man who was embracing the old woman not far away and said, "He is that Taoist priest and the old woman's son."

"My son, after you went to the mountains, I never heard from you again. I thought you were dead, but I never imagined you were still alive, only you left your mother behind!"

The old woman wiped away her tears, feeling both angry and happy.

"Your son... will never dare to be unfilial again!"

The son also hugged his mother, his face full of emotion.

Simply because he has experienced a lot—

As a child, his father went to the Zhu family compound to steal the jade shuttle that was rumored to be able to weave silk that could supposedly produce divine silk, and never returned. Influenced by his mother, he vowed to avenge his father...

On her first trip to the ridge, she found the Zhu family compound, but couldn't bring herself to harm the sixth sister. Ultimately, she was discovered by her second sister and thrown into the monster's cave to fend for herself...

He was lucky to have survived. Returning home, he wanted to let go of the past and live a good life, but the nearby weavers also wanted the jade shuttle and needed him to lead the way… His mother also pressured him to avenge his father, demanding he lead the weavers up the mountain to exorcise the monster…

He went up the mountain a second time, bringing the weavers with him, but they distrusted each other and fought amongst themselves, until in the end he was the only one left alive. He lost interest in being human and wanted to become a monster...

Now that Pingping has spared his life and brought him down the mountain, he sees that his mother has given up on revenge. Only then does he realize that not only will his personality change, but his mother's personality will also change.

"It's good that you're back! It's good that you're back!"

The old woman no longer clung to revenge; she only hoped that her son could live a good life at home, find a wife in the future, and have a healthy baby.

"A prodigal son who returns is more precious than gold."

Mother and son were reunited and wept with joy.

Jiang Liu smiled faintly and said to Pingping and Liang Luzhen, "You two did a good job."

thereafter.

Jiang Liu handed over the map of the Crimson and Purple Talisman to Pilanpo, instructing the mother and son to settle there. He then bid farewell to the king and continued his journey westward.

The people of Zhu Zi all came out of the city to see him off for dozens of miles before reluctantly turning back.

This is precisely:

The causes of passion and desire are generally the same; having feelings and desires is natural. Cultivating the mind and refining the heart begins with a single thought; eliminating desire and controlling emotions is the way of Zen.

You must be attentive and steadfast, enduring trials and tribulations until the moon is full again. Continue your practice diligently and without slackening; when your practice is complete and your merits are fulfilled, you will attain great enlightenment.

The river flows westward, stirring up the love web and shattering the fragile yellow flowers. Summer goes and autumn comes, and we see cicadas chirping in the withered willows, while fallen petals flow eastward.

Bajie saw the mountain range ahead and said to everyone, "Ahead lies the Lion Camel Ridge, which stretches for eight hundred li. Back then, when I went west with my master, it was Li Changgeng who came to report that there were three demons, totaling forty-eight thousand demons, who were heading straight for my senior brother's Flower Fruit Mountain."

One was the mount of Samantabhadra Bodhisattva, a six-tusked white elephant that later became the Giant Spirit God and reigned as king in the Kingdom of Treasure Elephant. Now, we have killed it.

One was Manjushri Bodhisattva's mount, a green lion. It is said that it was killed by Erlang Shen and merged with the Dharma form he had created, thus creating the Green Lion Dharma form, which was even more powerful than before.

Another one is Buddha's maternal uncle, a golden-winged roc... Back then, Pigsy was imprisoned in the demon kingdom, but he didn't know where the roc was now, nor had he ever seen him on Mount Ling.

Upon hearing that there were forty-eight thousand demons, Hu Yuan was terrified and asked, "There are so many demons? How did you manage to get through back then?"

Hu Jue was also surprised: "Could it be that you sneaked over there?"

"Could he really slip past and still be granted a title by Buddha?"

Bajie snorted, glanced at Jiang Liu, and seeing that he remained calm, he spoke in the calmest tone the words that chilled everyone to the bone: "Back then, those three monsters captured Master, Old Pig, Sandy, and the White Dragon Horse, leaving only Eldest Brother outside."

In order to feel safe eating Tang Sanzang, the three demons spread the news that Tang Sanzang had already been eaten, misleading my eldest brother into giving up.

Then--

That night, shouts of battle filled the entire Lion Camel Ridge... When Pigsy and the others were rescued, Lion Camel Ridge was littered with the corpses of demons.

Those 48,000 demons were all killed by my eldest brother!

"hiss--"

Hu Yuan, Hu Jue, Lu Zhen, and Ping Ping all gasped in shock, staring at Jiang Liu in disbelief.

To know!

This Gu Yue Yuanjue is actually the "reincarnation" of Sun Wukong!

Chapter 1546 The Corpse Forest in Lion Camel Ridge

"Why are you looking at me? I'm not Sun Wukong."

Seeing everyone looking at him, Jiang Liu chuckled.
