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

"I don't need the side door cultivation method."

"If he is a man, he can take possession of another person's body under the pretext of practicing."

"Then I want to learn."

"Hmph! I won't teach you."

"Alright alright."

As the two chatted, a storyteller suddenly appeared on stage and sang: "It is said that three hundred years ago, the ferocious Qin was brutal and cruel. How cruel was he?"

At this point, the storyteller paused, looked at the audience, and asked with a smile, "Does anyone know?"

Under the stage, Xia Zhiming heard the words "Tiger and Wolf Qin" and couldn't help but tilt his head. He looked at Qing Xin beside him and asked, "I took a nap. Where did you take me?"

Qing Xin asked doubtfully, "This place isn't far from the Five Elements Mountain. I came in as soon as I saw the city."

"It seems so!" Xia Zhiming nodded and looked at the storyteller on the platform with interest.

The storyteller closed his folding fan and sighed, "What is a tyrannical Qin? Taking six out of ten taxes is a tyrannical Qin!"

"Heaven will surely destroy those who are cruel and inhumane. Fortunately, our Emperor Gaozu received the mandate from Heaven and slew the white snake to overthrow the tyranny of that tiger and wolf nation."

"After that, our dynasty was well-versed in both civil and military affairs, but two hundred years later, the treacherous Wang Mang plotted to usurp the throne."

"What is a great traitor?"

At this point, the storyteller pointed westward and angrily cursed, "Ten miles away, there's a Five Elements Mountain. Beneath the mountain lies a demonic monkey, suppressing Wang Mang's ambitions. If it weren't for this, the world would have been in chaos long ago!"

"Fortunately, our predecessor, Emperor Guangwu, received divine help. A meteorite fell from the sky and destroyed the king's army. Our dynasty's orthodoxy was once again continued. Today we are going to talk about that star!"

……

In the audience, Qing Xin couldn't help but pull Xia Zhiming's tail when she heard this and asked, "Zhiming, does this country have a grudge against us?"

"How to say?"

"First, the white snake was killed, then the monkey was suppressed, and even the stars fell to the ground to destroy the enemy army. This must be some evil spirit that has seized the throne of the Human Emperor."

"Pfft~!"

"Zhiming, please don't laugh at me. Why don't we go and take a look together?"

"Okay, okay, it's getting late, let's go see this big man tomorrow."

"Huh? You know what?"

"of course I know."

During the small talk, the storyteller on the stage also started to talk, but it was not very interesting. However, Xia Zhiming still listened with great interest.

Seeing that he was in a rare mood, Qingxin was naturally happy to accompany him. She picked up the teacup and started drinking it in sips, enjoying herself happily.

After the man and the snake finished listening to the story, Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to book a room in this teahouse. As for the money, it was of course the leftovers from the last time the two of them took Tiger Pioneer to perform.

That night--

Qingxin's face flushed, and she sat cross-legged on the bed in the guest room, trying to calm her mind but unable to find the method.

Inside the girl's Taoist robe, Xia Zhiming looked at the exceptionally soft and tender skin in front of him. He couldn't help but probe and lick the snake's tongue, but was held in place by her. He could hear the girl's somewhat shameful whisper: "Zhiming, don't kiss me..."

Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue and said helplessly: "Qingxin, don't press it, I won't kiss you anymore."

"Zhiming, don't say anything either."

Xia Zhiming spat out his tongue: "Qingxin, why don't you stop practicing this method? It's a bit torturous."

"Don't talk!"

"When can we finish practicing?"

"Zhiming...did you do this on purpose?"

"No, not really."

"Zhiming, you are bad~!"

Chapter 108 Origin

midnight--

Qingxin lay on the bed, grabbing the sheets with a trembling body, then raised her snow-white neck, biting her lips with her silver teeth, her eyes misted, and she stared at the ceiling in confusion.

After a long time, the girl slowly exhaled a breath of foul air, then reached into her arms with trembling fingertips, dragged the white snake out, and held it with both arms.

After Xia Zhiming struggled out of the girl's arms and poked his head out, Qingxin pleaded weakly, "Zhiming... please stop making trouble, okay?"

Xia Zhiming couldn't spit out his snake tongue anymore, so he could only change the subject in a sullen tone: "Okay, how's your cultivation going?"

"It's completely useless..."

Xia Zhiming then laughed and said, "Silly girl, my golden elixir is perfect, flawless and flawless. How can you absorb my essence?"

Qing Xin's face flushed immediately, and she said shyly, "Zhi Ming, since you already knew, why didn't you tell me?"

"I just want to see the bluestone bloom."

"You...that's all."

Qing Xin sighed and said softly: "Just don't enter my Qi Sea, the rest is up to you..."

"I always know my limits and won't ruin your practice."

"You."

The night was quiet, and the girl was sleeping with the snake in her arms. Xia Zhibai had a good sleep the previous day, but now he couldn't fall asleep. He could only stick his head out to help the girl smooth her hair.

In the "movement" category, there are actions and creations, such as taking yin to replenish yang, climbing bows and stepping on crossbows, rubbing the navel to inhale, using prescriptions to prepare things, burning grass and beating tripods, taking red lead, refining autumn stone, taking women's milk, and absorbing essence and energy.

Qing Xin asked his senior brother for this practice method, with the idea that it would make up for the loss. Unfortunately, Xia Zhiming's practice was too high, so this practice method was useless.

It can't be said that it is useless. At least after this incident, Qingxin shouldn't hold Xia Zhiming down like a thief when he goes into a girl's arms in the future.

……

The next day—

As the sky brightened, the man and the snake both woke up. When Qingxin was dressing up, she saw the white snake on her shoulder flick its tail, and countless illusions in the whole room were suddenly shattered.

Seeing him like this, Qing Xin asked in confusion: "Zhiming, when did you cast the illusion?"

Xia Zhiming spat out his tongue and said, "Of course it was when you brought me in last night."

"So much cloth?"

"That's to make sure no one in this world can see it, of course."

Qingxin nodded, but she didn't know whether what Xia Zhiming said was true or not, so she didn't pay much attention to it. She just picked up the white snake hanging around her neck and turned to walk out.

……

Luoyang City——

In the city, Qingxin was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a tea bowl and sipping tea with a calm expression. She ignored the strange looks from people around her and walked in the middle of the street.

Xia Zhiming turned his head from time to time, looking around carefully, and saw——

The ears are filled with music and the eyes are full of splendor; the building is filled with pearls and jade and the roads are filled with flowers.

China is prosperous and wealthy, and there is no suffering in the Celestial Empire.

Summary: Yongping prosperous era.

After taking a quick look around, Xia Zhiming finally spit out his snake tongue with satisfaction. This was his first time in Shenzhou, and he happened to catch up with the prosperous times, which made him feel relieved.

Beside him, Qingxin saw him looking around in silence for a while, and finally showed a relaxed look. Then she asked: "Zhiming, do you care about this place?"

"Yeah, and now I like it."

"This Luoyang City seems to be the richest capital city among all the countries we have visited."

At this moment, someone behind him interrupted with a proud voice: "How can our Celestial Empire be compared to those barbarians?"

Qing Xin and Xia Zhiming couldn't help but turn their heads to look behind them, and saw a line of carriages and horses coming behind them. In the front was a middle-aged man in a red robe leading a white horse, who was obviously the person who interrupted.

When the middle-aged man saw her looking over, he frowned and asked, "I am Cai Yin, a doctor from the Imperial Guards. Who are you, and why are you blocking my way?"

Qingxin rolled his eyes and, with the same frown, asked in return, "I am the Qingxin King of Kutuo Mountain, from the Western Niu Hezhou, the Lion Camel Kingdom, and what is your business? Why are you making such a fuss?"

Cai Yin bowed to the heavens and said proudly, "I followed the orders of the current emperor to travel to the Western Regions to seek the Buddhist path. Now that I have found the true Buddha and the true scriptures, I will naturally return to the capital to report!"

After saying this, Cai Yin bowed his head and questioned, "What ability do you, a girl, have to claim to be the king?"

Qingxin was choked, but didn't know how to respond, so she turned to look at Xia Zhiming on her shoulder.

Seeing her like this, Xia Zhiming shook his head, looked at the official opposite him, and replied proudly, imitating his tone: "My king can enter the Nine Heavens and investigate the underworld, so why can't he be king?"

Beside him, Qingxin raised the corners of his mouth when he heard this and nodded repeatedly.

Xia Zhiming then lifted his snake body and leaned forward to question, "You claim to have obtained the true Buddha's scriptures. I wonder which Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vajra, or Arhat was present? There are tens of millions of Buddhist scriptures. Which one did you obtain?"

As soon as Xia Zhiming finished speaking, Cai Yin, who was standing opposite him, looked at the white snake who had spoken and was suddenly confused. He quickly took a step back and said with a bow, "Excuse me, great immortal, may I ask which true gods are Buddha, Bodhisattva, Vajra, and Arhat, and where are they located?"

Xia Zhiming ignored him and turned to look at Qingxin. After seeing the girl nod with satisfaction, he rubbed the girl's cheek and was too lazy to pay attention to him anymore.

Qingxin also picked up the teacup and took a sip. He did not make things difficult for the man anymore and made way for him.

Seeing this, Cai Yin could only shake his head helplessly and continue leading the convoy forward, but he kept looking back every few steps, turning to look at the man and the snake from time to time.

At this moment, someone in the carriage asked him to stop, and then he saw an old monk calmly walking down from the carriage.

Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin looked towards him, only to find that the monk was radiant with Buddha's light, his eyes piercing. After exchanging a glance, they both wondered: how could such an arrogant fellow actually invite a high-ranking monk?

The monk on the opposite side saw the two people's true faces, but his eyes lit up. He put his hands together and bowed to them, saying: "Amitabha, I am Shemoteng, a humble monk, greeting the two great masters."

"May you be blessed with infinite happiness, I am Xia Zhiming." Xia Zhiming responded first.

"May you have infinite blessings, Lord Tianzun, and I, Qingxin, the poor Taoist, live in my heart." Qingxin followed suit.

After the two men and the snake had exchanged greetings, they heard Shemoteng, standing opposite them, say with a smile, "I was entrusted by the lay Buddhist named Cai to come to Jambudvīpa to spread the Dharma. I didn't expect to meet Shangzhen. Would you be willing to come over and have a chat?"

Qing Xin didn't answer, but Xia Zhiming became interested and asked tentatively, "Does the monk want to spread Buddhism to the East?"

"Exactly!"

"The Buddha himself said: Jambudvīpa is a land of fame, wealth, right and wrong, greed, lust and pleasure. Why don't you leave now?"

Shemoteng was stunned for a moment, looked at Xia Zhiming, praised the Buddha's name again, and asked with a smile: "Is what the Supreme One said true?"

"Why would I lie to you?"

"In that case, I will not leave."

"What would you do if you lived the rest of your life without a single believer?"

"The sea of ​​suffering is boundless, yet my Buddha has thousands of volumes of scriptures."

At this point, Shemoteng turned, looked westward, and prayed: "Disciple Shemoteng, I vow to spend the rest of my life studying Buddhist scriptures and reciting Buddhist teachings. I wish this to be a raft for those in the future who are destined to cross the boundless sea of ​​suffering."

After saying this, Shemoteng bowed his head.

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

Lingshan, Great Leiyin Temple——

The Tathagata Buddha sat before the other Buddhas, but suddenly opened his eyes of wisdom and said with a smile, "I grant you this. Your merits will be increased, you will not fall into the cycle of reincarnation, and you will enter my paradise. I will pass on my true Dharma for future generations."

In the audience, Guanyin Bodhisattva praised: "I am a humble disciple, but I wish to go there and help those believers to come to my paradise."

The Tathagata Buddha said happily, "Then I'll trouble the Venerable Guanyin to go there."

Upon hearing this, the Bodhisattva smiled and nodded, then bowed and left.

……

Chapter 109 Disaster

On the official road, a line of carriages and horses stopped in the middle of the road.

Beside the carriage, Shemoteng made a great vow, then stood up and smiled at the white snake in front of him, saying, "I have made a great vow that I will never leave this southern continent for the rest of my life."

Xia Zhiming looked at the monk in front of him, thought for a moment, and then asked tentatively: "I have something to say, would you like to hear it?"

"Please speak frankly, Kamishin."
