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

Taishi

Qiankun

They correspond to the three stages of the creation of heaven and earth from nothing to something, and these three Taoist scriptures are the Hunyuan Taoist methods corresponding to those three stages.

Xia Zhiming actually didn’t understand how such an abstract thing could exist as Taoism, but it had nothing to do with him.

Anyway, after he figured out this layer, he threw "Kai Tian" aside and turned to read "Qian Kun".

There was a dream that allowed him to modify it at will. Yuanshi Tianzun also taught him a book called "Forty-nine Chapters of the True Scripture of Taoism", which allowed him to simulate the process of disorder in the universe and then return to order at any time with just a thought.

Under such circumstances, Xia Zhiming's speed in learning this method was naturally rapid. He soon forgot the years, and the books in the library were reduced one by one.

As for Qingxin, the little girl once jumped off the lotus platform after eating the golden elixir. When she was rescued by Xia Zhiming again, she had lost track of time.

Such chaotic days continued until——

In the dream, Xia Zhiming was sitting at the table and closing a scripture. He saw only black words on a white background written on the blue cover - Kaitian; the 480,000th volume.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming snapped his fingers, set off a few fireworks above his head to celebrate, pulled out a deep purple crack, and threw the scripture in his hand directly into the crack.

At this moment, Qingxin in the teacup saw the fireworks and her eyes suddenly lit up. She shouted, "Zhiming, have you finished watching?"

"The enemy."

"Then should we go out?"

"Actually, if you've had enough, you can stay a little longer."

"My mouth is full of the taste of peanuts. I don't want to eat anymore."

"..."

Xia Zhiming couldn't help but twitch his lips. He lifted Xiao Xiao Qingxin's collar and squeezed her out of the cup. He found that Xiao Xiao Qingxin was holding the purple gold gourd, and her cheeks were a little bulging. He couldn't help but poke her.

Gulp~!

There was a crisp sound of something entering the water, and a small golden pill leaked out from the girl's cheek. It grew to the size of a thumb in the wind and fell directly into the cup.

"Qingxin, is this what you meant by not eating anymore?"

"I've finished eating the peaches, and I'm a little thirsty just eating the golden elixir..."

“I have some fruit here.”

"I don't want to bother you."

"Qingxin, you are still so good even though you have grown up."

"Hmph~!"

When Qingxin heard this, she rolled her eyes at him, but she couldn't resist and could only flap her legs in protest.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming put the girl on the corner of the table and casually put the Qingxin glass cup on the table into his sleeve.

After little Qingxin quickly grew into the young girl Qingxin, Xia Zhiming smiled and took the girl's hand and led her out the door.

When the gate of Bajing Palace was pushed open again, Xia Zhiming looked at the chaotic scene in the mountains, thought for a while, took out the ruler and cut three feet.

The first foot——

When chaos first began, everything was unclear.

The second foot——

Clear above and turbid below, yin and yang in order

The third foot——

The Nine Palaces and Eight Trigrams, the universe is determined.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming nodded, casually scratched a crack in front of him, then put away the ruler in his hand and smiled at Qing Xin beside him: "Hunyuan Taoism, isn't it very cool?"

Qing Xin lowered her head, looked at Xia Zhiming's palm and asked in confusion: "Zhiming, why are your hands shaking?"

Seeing that she had discovered it, Xia Zhiming naturally stopped pretending. He lowered his head and transformed back into a snake, wrapping himself around the girl's shoulders.

Then, with a somewhat helpless look on his face, he said, "These three volumes of Taoism are essentially about guiding the natural evolution of the primordial chaos into a complete world. Forcibly dividing the chaos like I did is purely an evil way of using it."

“But it’s beautiful.”

"I think, too, that if you chop a few times and open up the sky, you'll get a sense of accomplishment."

Qingxin nodded, expressing her approval of Xia Zhiming's operation, then carefully stepped across the purple space crack in front of her and appeared in the Tushita Palace.

On the alchemy platform, Taishang Laojun looked at the man and the snake that emerged from the crack and said with a smile: "Don't use these three volumes of Taoist scriptures carelessly in the future."

"Don't worry, Daozu, I'm definitely not that stupid."

Xia Zhiming nodded repeatedly. He was very clear about this point. These three volumes of scriptures were difficult and useless.

Even in the gaps he casually drew for fun, he was jumping back and forth on the dividing line of all things. He was simply the typical example of someone who didn't want to live and was looking for death.

However, Xia Zhiming did not feel that his studies were in vain. With these three volumes of Taoism, there would be nothing in this world that he could not break through.

Even if Daozu threw him into the Bagua furnace now, he felt that he could cut through the furnace with a ruler and run out.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming turned his head and glanced at the Bagua furnace behind him. He saw that the Liu Ding divine fire in the furnace was still burning, but there was no sign of the golden and silver boys fanning it.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming couldn't help but ask: "Daozu, how long have we been in there?"

"It just matches the number of Tian Gang and Di Sha."

"Where did the monkey go?"

Upon hearing this, Taishang Laojun immediately shook his head and said, "That rascal monkey, when he jumped out of the furnace that day, kicked over my Bagua furnace with one kick."

Xia Zhiming looked puzzled and asked a question he had long ago: "Daoist Ancestor, have you never seen the past and the future?"

The Supreme Lord nodded, then shook his head and cursed with a smile: "The Eight Trigrams Furnace deserved this disaster, but that rascal monkey hid the secrets of heaven, and the old Taoist didn't realize that he still had a disaster. What do you say we should do?"

"..."

Xia Zhiming was speechless. According to what Taishang Laojun meant, the monkey was so bold as to push Daozu in the end. He definitely couldn't take the blame for this - what monkey? He didn't know him!

Across from him, Taishang Laojun looked at him and chuckled without saying a word.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and then tentatively said, "Don't worry, Daozu. I will help you teach that monkey a bloody lesson in the future."

The Supreme Lord shook his head, raised his whisk and tapped the snake's head. Then he smiled and said, "Don't say that. The monkey is being held captive by the Buddha at the border between the Southern Continent and the Western Continent. If you go to see him, just remember to give him a few more taps."

On the opposite side, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin nodded repeatedly when they heard this.

From then on, Daozu said no more, and the man and the snake bowed again. After Qingxin placed the purple gold gourd next to Daozu, he turned and left with the white snake.

……

(There is one more chapter left, I will write it in the afternoon, I haven’t slept yet.)

Chapter 102: Concern

After coming out of the Tushita Palace, Xia Zhiming and Qingxin went back to the Lingguan Mansion and showed their faces, then went straight to the South Gate of Heaven and left the Heavenly Palace.

After Qing Xin ascended to heaven, the speed of his flying through the clouds and mists could finally be seen. After a while, he saw a conspicuous Wulian Mountain. That mountain——

The mountains are like fingers, and the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and so on are complete.

The heart is always calm, and the bitter wine makes the heart ache when it goes down the throat.

Summary: The monkey is drinking alone.

Seeing this scene, Qing Xin naturally wanted to descend from the clouds with Xia Zhiming.

Just as they were about to go forward, they saw five Jiedis appear in the Buddha's light and blocked their way. They were the golden-headed Jiedis, the silver-headed Jiedis, the Paragate, the Parasamgate and the Mahagadis.

The golden-headed Jie Di, holding a golden bell, stopped the two and said, "No trespassing is allowed under the Five Elements Mountain. Please return, my two immortal friends."

Qing Xin tilted her head, thought for a moment, and then looked at Xia Zhiming. The white snake shook its tail and said with a smile, "We two came here on the orders of the Taoist Ancestor to find that monkey and give him a hard time."

The Jiedis looked at each other, then put their hands together and said with a smile: "In that case, we will not disturb you anymore."

After saying this, several Jiedis flashed by and soon disappeared.

"The title of Daozu is really useful."

"Zhiming, what is this?"

"Just give them a reason and don't make things difficult for them."

"You think too much."

"That's common sense."

As the man and the snake were chatting, they descended from the clouds. Sun Wukong, who was standing at the foot of the mountain, heard the familiar words and looked up with joy. He shouted like thunder: "White Snake! Qingxin! Hurry up! Hurry up!"

Hearing Sun Wukong's powerful shout, the man and the snake looked at each other and shook their heads, then fell directly in front of the monkey.

Then I saw that Sun Wukong's whole body was stuck in the mountain, with only his head and half of his left arm exposed, looking in a miserable state.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming thought for a moment and then turned back into his original form, reaching out and taking the wine gourd from the monkey's hand.

Sun Wukong was stunned and quickly said flatteringly, "White Snake, I rely on this wine to relieve my boredom now, please don't take it back."

Xia Zhiming ignored him, stretched out his hand to call some rain water to wash away the dust on the back of his head, then handed the gourd back to him and said with a smile: "Now it's yours."

"Give it to me?"

"You've always wanted to steal my gourd, but now you don't want it anymore?"

"I want it!"

Sun Wukong nodded repeatedly, then shrunk the gourd and stuffed it into his left ear. Then he asked, "I have been trapped in this mountain for sixty years. I didn't expect that you would be the last one to come and see me."

"Who has been here?"

"Yang Jian comes here every year, Nezha has been here twice, Bull Demon King and his gang have also sneaked in, and..."

"Who else?"

"There are also thirty wandering Taoists."

Xia Zhiming was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "Qingxin and I were put in solitary confinement. After 108 days in heaven, we came too late."

"I, Old Sun, also heard it in the Bagua furnace. I don't blame you."

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming took out a fruit plate from his sleeve and placed it in front of him, then handed a peach to him, and then began to ask about the whole story after they were confined.

Sun Wukong naturally did not hide it either——

But at that time, he came out of the Bagua furnace and took the golden cudgel and fought all the way down to the thirty-three heavens, but outside the Lingxiao Palace, he met Yisheng Zhenjun and Dutian Dalingguan.

After a fight, the Jade Emperor in the Lingxiao Palace was alarmed, and he invited the Buddha Tathagata. The Buddha and the monkey made a bet, saying that as long as the monkey could jump out of his palm, he would let the monkey go freely.

He was confident of his great abilities, so he naturally agreed. In the end, he urinated in the palm of Buddha Tathagata, but he lost in an unclear way. When he was about to run away, he was directly suppressed here by Buddha Tathagata's palm.

After saying this, Sun Wukong took a bite of the peach in his hand, but suddenly froze for a moment before saying, "This peach tastes a little familiar."

"Your peach from Huaguo Mountain."

"..."

Sun Wukong was silent for a moment, then looked at Qingxin and said, "Qingxin, I'm sorry to bother you with those little ones."

Qing Xin tilted her head: "Who told you that?"

"The Bull Demon King said, 'You summoned the ghost messengers to help those little demons have a good rebirth, but I, Sun, became the king and the ancestor, but I am the one who is most sorry for them.'"

"Monkey, you've changed."

"I, Old Sun, am so grateful for the help I've received."

"After saying this, it feels like you've changed back."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong hung his head and said nothing. Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming took out his ruler and said with a smile: "Monkey, let me hit you a few times."

"White Snake, are you leaving?"

"Can't bear to part with you?"

"..."

Sun Wukong remained silent, then spoke hopefully: "I am unable to travel, but I have something I want to ask you. Could you please go and check it out for me?"

"What's going on? Where can I go?"

Sun Wu turned his neck, pointed westward, and said, "This year I keep hearing people crying in my ears. It's so noisy that I can't sleep. Please go and take a look on my behalf and stop them from nagging me."
