You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

Qingxin nodded, took out the lotus seed that the ancient Buddha Dipankara had given her from her sleeve and placed it in her master's hand.

Patriarch Bodhi said again, "Bring the teacup here."

Qingxin naturally took out the Qingxin glass cup and handed it over.

In front of him, Patriarch Bodhi took the two treasures, opened the cup lid and threw the lotus seeds directly into the cup. The three people around him saw this and all turned their eyes to it, and saw——

New buds sprout from the fruits, and jade lotus roots grow on the green branches.

The cup is full of water from the fairy pond, and golden lotus blooms on the green leaves.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but glance at Bodhi Patriarch, but found that the master looked at Qingxin and smiled: "Qingxin."

Qing Xin nodded obediently: "Master, I'm here."

As soon as the words fell, the girl's figure flashed and then fell directly into the cup. The only difference from before was that -

Qing Xin sat on the golden lotus, looked up at the cup with a confused look on her face and shouted: "Master, why did you accept me?"

Patriarch Bodhi said nothing more. He simply handed the teacup to Xia Zhiming and said with a smile, "The golden lotus has the power to protect the body and calm the mind, but this teacup is too poisonous. Although both treasures have wonderful uses, they are not very compatible with the two of you. When they complement each other, it is even more mysterious."

Xia Zhiming nodded. He actually felt that this teacup was not fun. If he put it in, his cultivation would be reduced, which would be a waste for them.

At this time, Xia Zhiming shook the glass cup slightly, and saw the golden lotus in the cup swaying. He heard Qingxin, who was sitting on the lotus, scream, and instantly fell to the bottom of the cup and turned back to its original form.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming couldn't help laughing. He reached out and took the bluestone out of the cup. After the girl fell into his arms and turned back into her original form, he smiled and said, "Master still understands us the best."

Originally, this treasure would turn the monster back to its original form and directly reduce the person's cultivation level when the monster was put into the cup.

Now, there is a golden lotus in the cup. When capturing people, the person will be captured first on the golden lotus. If there is no murderous intention, this is a simple treasure for capturing monsters. If there is murderous intention, it is just an extra step of shaking the cup.

As for the benefit of this small change, it is naturally that Qingshi Tea can be transformed into Qingxin Tea!

Patriarch Bodhi stroked his beard and nodded, then shook his whisk and said, "Go ahead."

After saying this, Patriarch Bodhi closed his eyes and said no more.

When Qingyun, who was standing by, heard this, his expression suddenly changed. He stopped eating the peaches and looked at the two of them with reluctance.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and then said, "Junior Brother, can I take you out for a walk in the future?"

Qingyun was puzzled, but after confirming that his master had no objection, he nodded happily and said, "Okay, when?"

"About six or seven hundred years."

"A long time..."

"Don't worry, I'll take you to hunt monkeys when the time comes."

"Really?"

"I'm just worried that you won't be able to beat him then."

"He dares to attack me?"

"Haha, I thought so too."

Qingyun took another bite of the peach and then smiled and said, "Then I'll wait."

Upon seeing this, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin bowed to Patriarch Bodhi and said, "Master, your disciple is gone."

……

Outside the Sanxing Cave, Xia Zhiming walked out of the cave holding Qingxin's hand. Then he lowered his head, turned back into a snake, and wrapped himself around the girl's neck.

"Zhiming, where are we going next?"

"Return to Heaven. I'm going to Daozu to be punished."

"Are you going to get hit again?"

"It's the Jade Emperor's punishment. I'm sure nothing good will come of this time."

"You~"

Qingxin rolled her eyes at him, but said nothing more. She just took him on a cloud and flew all the way to Lihentian. When they arrived at the Tushita Palace in Lihentian, they saw Daozu leading two heavenly soldiers. Those heavenly soldiers were also escorting a rebellious and grinning monkey.

Seeing this, Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming exchanged a glance. Xia Zhiming understood, but the girl tilted her head and quickly went forward to ask, "Daoist Ancestor, what is this?"

When the girl asked, Taishang Laojun smiled and said, "This monkey ate my elixir, which contained both raw and cooked ingredients. He used the Three Flavors True Fire to refine it into a body of diamond. The Demon Slaying Platform couldn't kill him, so I brought him here. I'll throw him into my furnace to refine the elixir, and he'll naturally turn to ashes."

……

Chapter 100: Creation of Heaven

After hearing what Laojun said, Qingxin nodded obediently, then walked to the front of the heavenly soldier, pulled up the monkey's shoulder and pierced his scapula with the hook knife. Looking at the monkey in front of him, who was grimacing in pain, he turned to the heavenly soldier and said, "You can go now."

The two heavenly soldiers naturally saluted with their fists before leaving.

Sun Wukong stopped baring his teeth this time. He looked at the familiar man and snake in front of him, rolled his eyes, and did not speak.

Upon seeing this, Taishang Laojun just smiled and nodded, then slowly walked into the Tushita Palace.

Behind him, Xia Zhiming, who was lying on Qingxin's shoulder, quietly flicked his tail, and a small wine gourd fell into the monkey's mouth.

When Sun Wukong saw this, his eyes lit up and he opened his mouth and wrapped the wine gourd in a vegetarian bag.

After a while, Taishang Laojun summoned Jinjiao and Yinjiao, and picked up a palm-leaf fan, then signaled Qingxin to take action.

Seeing this, Qingxin nodded, and pushed the monkey, along with the iron chains and hook knife, directly into the alchemy furnace.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming's snake tongue, which was originally spitting out lightly, stopped instantly. Taishang Laojun, who was about to light the fire, couldn't help but twitch his mouth, but shook his head without saying anything more.

After a while, as the Six Ding Divine Fire ignited in the Bagua Furnace, the flames burned more and more vigorously under the fanning of the Golden Horn and Silver Horn, and soon the monkey's continuous screams were heard from the furnace!

It turned out that Sun Wukong was bound by iron chains and hook knives, and could not move temporarily. He was roasted through by the Six Ding Divine Fire, and screamed in pain.

Beside the alchemy furnace, Qingxin looked at Xia Zhiming with some confusion, but saw that he just shook his tail and looked indifferent, so he could only dare not say anything.

At this time, in the Bagua furnace, Sun Wukong felt the pain from the burning for a while, but he suddenly felt his body lighten. It turned out that the iron chain and the hook knife had been turned into molten iron by the divine fire.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong quickly took out his golden cudgel and used the power of heaven and earth to try to escape. However, the alchemy furnace was not big but contained a lot of things, and he could not touch the edge of it.

After a brief soar, Sun Wukong discovered a spot in the furnace where there was smoke but no fire. His eyes suddenly lit up, and he sat down, spitting out his wine gourd and taking two gulps before finally letting out a sigh of relief.

At this time, the people outside the furnace could no longer hear the screams.

Upon seeing this, Taishang Laojun turned to look at Jinjiao and Yinjiao beside the alchemy furnace and said, "You two should watch the fire carefully. Add charcoal and fan it, but don't let the fire go out."

After the two boys agreed, Taishang Laojun looked at the man and the snake beside the alchemy furnace and said with a smile, "Little snake, the Jade Emperor asked me to punish you, but it is like the fire in the furnace. I will punish you with either force or civility. Which one do you choose?"

Xia Zhiming was puzzled: "Daoist Ancestor, what's the difference between these two?"

The Supreme Lord Laozi smiled and said, "Martial punishment means suffering physical pain. You need to use the Purple Sky Divine Thunder to strike a sufficient number of Yuan before you can stop."

Xia Zhiming's mouth twitched. Normally he was hit by green lightning. That lightning contained the power of creation. It would only hurt but not injure people. After being struck too many times, his body would become numb, and he would not feel anything when he was hit later.

But if it was the Purple Sky Divine Thunder that struck down a number of Yuan, based on his physique, he would probably have to go to the underworld to chat with the King of Hell.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming quickly flicked his tail and asked, "Daozu, how is the punishment calculated?"

The Supreme Lord shook his whisk and said with a smile: "I have a Shouyang Mountain, which is enough to suppress the number of your Tiangang and Disha. So let it go."

Xia Zhiming nodded repeatedly: "That's it, that's it."

Shouyang Mountain is the Taoist temple of Taishang Laojun, which is obviously a backdoor for him. He is a person who can stay idle, so he is not afraid of this.

Taishang Laojun immediately smiled and nodded, then looked at Qingxin and said, "Girl, do you want to go?"

Qingxin naturally nodded. She was not worried that Laojun would harm her. If she was left alone in Heaven, it would be better for her to return to Sanxing Cave.

The Jade Emperor then stretched out his hand, and a green mountain appeared in his palm, with a Xuandu and a Zifu on it.

Then, a flash of light appeared in the purple palace of the green mountain. The man and the snake saw nothing but a flash before their eyes, and soon they appeared in front of the palace gate in the mountain. Then they saw—

The vast sea, the mountains surpass Kunyue,

Zhong Hua Shenxiu, Yue Yang Yaohui,

Yaoguang Luohuan, water mist and haze,

Clouds, rainbows, and falling stars.

Chaos and primordial chaos.

Outside the palace, there are nine wonders. Looking at the Purple Palace, there is only a plaque hanging on the gate, which reads: "Eight Scenery Palace"

Seeing this, Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to appreciate this unparalleled spectacle, but did not stay long. They quickly pushed open the palace door and walked in.

As soon as I walked in, I saw——

The Dao, the mountains, the scriptures, the Dharma, the ocean of learning has no end.

The blue seal and white pages are all written in heavenly books with wonderful brushwork.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin both tilted their heads, thought about it and didn't talk much. After walking around and taking a look, they found that although there were many scriptures in this sea of ​​books, there were actually only three.

One: "Opening the Heaven"

Second: Taishi

The third is Qiankun

Among them, each scripture has 480,000 volumes, and each volume has 480,000 words.

After following the little girl around, Xia Zhiming understood what Daozu meant - since you have nothing to do anyway, you might as well read a book.

Seeing this situation, Xia Zhiming pointed with his tail, and a set of tables and chairs appeared in the library. Qing Xin naturally picked up a few volumes of Taoist scriptures and moved them over to sit down.

As soon as they opened the scripture, both the man and the snake were stunned for a moment. They saw that the first word on the book was "天". The font was a hundred miles wide and there was no end in sight.

Xia Zhiming was fine, he just glanced at it and scanned the entire page, but Qingxin beside him frowned and asked: "Zhiming, what is this?"

"Hunyuan Dao Fa."

"I don't understand."

"It's really a bit difficult for you."

"Hmph~!"

Qingxin snorted lightly, curled her lips, and took out a peach from her arms. Just as she was about to take a bite, she found a purple gold gourd suddenly appeared on the table.

Seeing this, Xiao Qing's eyes lit up, and then he directly picked up the gourd, poured out a Nine Revolutions Golden Pill and threw it into his mouth, eating it like chewing candy beans.

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and stopped pestering the little girl. He landed beside the girl and transformed back into a human form. He then took out the Qingxin glass cup from his sleeve, opened the lid and said with a smile, "Qingxin, come in."

"Ah."

As she spoke, the girl fell directly into the cup holding the gourd, sat on the golden lotus and dangled her feet. Fairy rain fell from the cup, gradually immersing her in it. From outside the cup, she looked like a fairy in the water.

Xia Zhiming sat down at the table, holding a teacup in one hand, listening to the girl's occasional soft singing, taking a sip of the tea in the cup, and opening the book in front of him -

[Between heaven and earth, beyond the Great Purity, there is no measure or quantity]

[In the void, loneliness is beyond words]

[There is no heaven and no earth, no yin and no yang]

【…】

----------------

In the Tushita Palace——

Taishang Laojun sat on the alchemy platform, looking at the two children fanning the alchemy furnace not far away, stroking his beard and chuckling from time to time.

Suddenly, the Taoist master raised his whisk and chuckled softly, saying, "If no one can learn it, what is the point of writing this scripture?"

"..."

"As long as there is a legacy, it will be yours after all."

"..."

Chapter 101 I Don't Take the Blame

The following days were leisurely and comfortable days for Xia Zhiming and Qingxin. They read books, drank tea, and read books again. Occasionally, when they were tired, they would take a nap and continue reading scriptures in their dreams.

Soon, Xia Zhiming also discovered a problem. He had no difficulty understanding this scripture in his dream, but it seemed a little more difficult in the real world.

The purpose of these three volumes of Hunyuan Daofa is clearly stated in the names of the scriptures:

Creation of the Heaven
