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

Before him, the historian bowed sullenly and said, "Your Majesty, this is already a lot."

"you you you!"

Liu Zhuang was so angry that his face turned red, his hands trembled, and he gritted his teeth. After a long time, he finally put down the book in his hand and cursed: "Get out!!!"

Seeing this, the historian had no choice but to put away the book and was about to leave when Liu Zhuang called him back and said, "The immortal's true teachings will be of great use to future generations. Remember them!"

The historian, however, hugged the book tightly, raised his head and replied firmly: "Your Majesty, it is indeed not allowed to be recorded!"

Liu Zhuang said, "Mortals are divided into different classes. If the emperor were to live forever, he would have to enslave his people for a hundred generations. Only an immortal can understand this truth. Do you remember this?"

The historian shook his head firmly and said, "Your Majesty, history does not record reason. It is left for future generations to understand for themselves."

Liu Zhuang was helpless when he encountered such a stubborn guy and could only wave his hand and let him leave.

……

On the other side, above the sky——

Xia Zhiming looked at the distant Luoyang City below and suddenly said, "Qingxin, I seem to have done two big things again."

"I didn't see it, what's going on?"

"Buddhism spreads eastward, and the true teachings of the side sects are passed down."

"If it's a good thing, why worry about it?"

"After all, I am a big man."

Qingxin was puzzled, but did not ask any more questions. She just took Xia Zhiming and went straight to the horizon.

Sitting on the girl's shoulder, Xia Zhiming looked at Luoyang going away below, and recalled the two people he met today -

Shemoteng, also known as Kasyapa-matanga, was the owner of the White Horse Temple and the source of Buddhism in the Central Plains.

He devoted his life to spreading Buddhism, but because Emperor Ming did not allow Han people to be ordained, there were few believers. In the end, he passed away, leaving behind only a copy of the "Sutra in Forty-two Chapters".

Emperor Ming of Han, Liu Zhuang, was the source of Mingzhang's rule.

In civil affairs, he respected rituals and Confucianism and introduced Buddhism. In military affairs, he conquered the Xiongnu in the north and managed the Western Regions. In domestic affairs, he was strict with himself, intimidating officials. He also dredged the Yellow River, which has remained unchanged for 800 years. He is considered a wise ruler.

Then, today he couldn't help but help both of them, not knowing what would happen in the future.

Thinking of this, Xia Zhiming sighed and snuggled into the girl's arms.

"Zhiming, don't play around in broad daylight~"

"Let me rest for a while."

"what happened?"

"Let's not come to Jambudvīpa anymore in the future."

"You obviously like it very much."

"This place disturbs my mind!"

"Cuckoo~"

Chapter 111 Cave Heaven Paradise

Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

After coming to the human world, the man and the snake naturally had to come back to pay their respects to their master.

After all, one day in heaven is one year on earth. While they were in solitary confinement, the master hadn't seen them for a full 108 years.

When the man and the snake met Bodhi Patriarch and Qingyun again, they chatted for a while but it was already late, so Qingxin took Xia Zhiming to stay.

That night--

Qingxin was busy cleaning up the backyard hut that she hadn't lived in for a long time. After it was spotless, she wiped her forehead and tidied her messy hair.

After seeing that she had finished her work, Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue to taste it, then nodded with satisfaction - this is the good thing about fairies, they won't get their bodies dirty even if they sweat, and they always smell good.

At this time, Qingxin, who noticed Baishe's actions, tilted his head, frowned, dragged out a bathtub from under the bed and placed it in the middle of the room. After two taps of his fingertips, the bathtub was filled with hot water.

After testing the water temperature briefly, Qingxin took off her hairpin, shoes, socks, corset, Taoist robe, inner garment, and underwear, leaving only a bellyband.

The white snake on the girl's shoulder saw her preparing to take a bath. After a moment's admiration, she smiled and said, "Qingxin, it's not that bad, is it?"

"Humph~"

Qingxin just hummed softly, held onto the wooden edge, and stepped on tiptoe into the bathtub. After sitting down in the tub, the water level was just at the girl's armpits.

After Qingxin cleaned it, he took the white snake off its neck and stroked it from head to toe like washing a cucumber. Then he leaned against the bathtub, closed his eyes and rested in satisfaction.

On the side, Xia Zhiming floated on the water. After lowering his head to confirm his swimming talent, he quickly swung his tail and dived into the water and disappeared.

Qingxin opened her eyes slightly and glanced at him, but ignored him.

But soon——

Looking at the white snake climbing up his neck, Qingxin tilted his head. After he retched a few times, he asked in confusion: "Zhiming, what's wrong?"

Xia Zhiming shook off the water droplets on his body and said with some depression: "Now it is confirmed that I am not a water snake. I was choked hard and felt uncomfortable and wanted to cry."

Qingxin smiled and nodded his head, then slowly stood up from the water. Her immortal body and clothes were like lotus leaves, and countless water droplets rolled down without being able to touch her body.

When the girl blew out the oil lamp and lay on the bed, Qingxin curled her lips and watched the white snake gradually disappearing beside her, then closed her eyes...

However, to her surprise——

After a while, Qing Xin pinched the tail of the white snake in her arms and asked doubtfully: "Zhi Ming?"

In the girl's arms, Xia Zhiming pulled the tail out of Qingxin's hand and asked in confusion: "What's wrong?"

"Yesterday you were so diligent in your search for immortals and exploring their mysteries. Today I took you back to Sanxing Cave, so why don't you go again?"

"Searching for Immortals..."

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment, then quickly said with a smile: "You want to go?"

"I thought you liked it."

"Hmph, half a day is not enough for me."

In the girl's arms, Xia Zhiming spat out his snake tongue: "Alright, I'll go out and help you find an immortal. You stay here and don't move. Next time when I have more time, you need to accompany me to find an immortal, okay?"

"Okay~"

"Then it's settled."

After saying that, the white snake flashed and quickly disappeared from the spot.

Lying on the bed, Qingxin felt her arms lighten, but she was not worried about Xia Zhiming running around. She just tucked in the quilt, quickly relaxed, and closed her eyes.

……

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

the other side--

Xia Zhiming's snake body flickered, and he quickly found a fairy's residence while moving, and saw -

Jade pillars protect the immortal palace, pink curtains hide the red door

Pearl bells hang high, and a blessed land hides a cave.

Outside the Immortal Palace, Xia Zhiming saw this scene and exclaimed in his heart. He raised his snake head and pushed open the two door curtains that were a bit heavy for him, and then knocked on the pearl bell on the door.

However, the pearl bell only trembled slightly after being hit, but the fairy palace did not open. It was obvious that it was closing its doors to visitors.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming was not annoyed. Judging from the style of this fairy palace, one could tell at a glance that a female fairy must be living inside. It was unreasonable for him to visit without handing in an invitation.

However, he did not give up. He changed his snake body into a more effective position, then he stuck his head out again, pushed open the door curtain, and rang the doorbell tirelessly.

Da, da ...

After knocking dozens of times, the pearl bell vibrated violently, and the white snake could hear the continuous ringing of the bell in its ears.

Just listening to the sound of the bells, there are many variations of the chirping of orioles and swallows, each one is melodious and beautiful, with lingering sounds, worthy of being a treasure from the immortals.

Xia Zhiming rang the pearl bell for a while until he almost felt dizzy, but the fairy palace did not open.

In desperation, the White Snake could only lower the door curtain and was about to leave, but when the curtain fell, the door of the fairy palace seemed to move, as if it was only half-closed.

Xia Zhiming didn't want to give up, so he stuck his head into the fairy palace to take a look, but he heard a loud bell ringing outside the door, which seemed to be a warning, and the entire fairy palace began to tremble.

After thinking for a moment, Xia Zhiming made another transformation. His whole body shrank into a three-inch small snake in an instant. He tried to stick his head out again, but the bell sound suddenly became much smaller, and the vibration in the cave stopped.

From then on, the white snake successfully slipped into the fairy palace.

After entering the door, there was a half-moon shaped magic circle as thin as a cicada's wing blocking Xia Zhiming's way. However, because Xia Zhiming was only a three-inch snake body and was light and agile, he quickly dodged it.

After passing the last hurdle, Xia Zhiming finally succeeded in sneaking into this cave.

The cave was as warm as summer, with fairy dew falling from time to time. The white snake swam into it and was unknowingly covered with dew, but it had no time to care.

Just because this cave is so special——

Fairy songs and beautiful music can be heard in my ears from time to time.

The corridors were covered with gemstones and corals, all crimson without a trace of other colors. The gemstones and corals were also stained with many crystal dewdrops, and the room was full of green fragrance.

However, the corridor seems a bit narrow because of the corals.

However, for the white snake's now shrunken body, it had no effect at all except that it was easily blocked. Instead, it made him see the beautiful scenery even more clearly, and he gradually became so engrossed in it that he forgot his purpose.

However, although Xia Zhiming had the ability to transform, he had no intention of hiding his tracks. Occasionally, he would make a big move and accidentally cause a shock to the fairy palace. He would then withdraw and hide in the coral forest, waiting for the storm to pass before going out to play again. The feeling he had was something that could not be described to outsiders.

However, the road to immortality has an end. No matter how much Xia Zhiming likes this cave, it is ultimately someone else's immortal residence.

After a long time, Xia Zhiming arrived at the deepest part of the cave and saw a door that was lightly closed. He then stuck his head in and knocked on the door a few times.

After not getting a response for a long time, Xia Zhiming sneaked in again using his old tricks, and saw——

Auspicious clouds and purple clouds fill the sky, and fairy music never stops.

The three flowers of heaven and earth are about to bloom, and the five energies of spirit and soul are about to condense.

Among the strange visions in the sky, there was a beautiful female fairy in Taoist robes who was meditating with her eyes closed. Even when Xia Zhiming peeped at her, she did not wake up.

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming knew that this trip to find the immortal was doomed to be in vain, and he did not dare to go in and disturb her practice. He shook his tail and left the door.

Just as he was about to turn around and go back to the immortal road, Xia Zhiming heard the warning sound of an oriole bell that resounded throughout the immortal palace.

Then, the door in front of him suddenly opened, and with the whole cave shaking, a surging tide directly washed Xia Zhiming out and knocked the white snake directly onto the half-moon-shaped magic circle in the fairy palace.

……

Chapter 112 Ruby Palace

The next day, early in the morning——

In the backyard of Sanxing Cave, Qingxin listened to the cries of phoenixes and peacocks outside the house. She opened her eyes in confusion and sat up from the bed.

When she came to her senses, she felt dry mouth and tongue, so she took out the Qingxin glass cup from her Taoist robe beside the bed, drank a few sips of tea, and finally recovered.

Qingxin took a quick look at the red embroidered bellyband on her body, and without thinking too much about it, she stood up, put on her clothes, washed up, and then sat in front of the dressing table to start dressing.

After combing her hair, tying it up, adjusting her hairpins, drawing her eyebrows, and applying lipstick, Qingxin looked at the beauty in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction.

Returning to the bed, Qingxin reached in and fumbled under the quilt. She quickly tilted her head, lifted the sheet and spread it out casually. She leaned over and glanced under the bed, but still could not find any trace of the white snake.

Seeing this, Qingxin thought for a moment, then frowned as if she had thought of something, and tried to call out softly through the red thread of marriage.

"Zhi Ming?"

In a blessed place somewhere, Xia Zhiming heard the shouting and asked in confusion, "What happened?"

"It's dawn, where are you?"

Xia Zhiming moved his snake body, pulling the red string on his body, and letting Qingxin feel his position: "I went out last night and found a fairy palace. I haven't left yet."

"?"

At the edge of the bed, Qingxin's face suddenly flushed, and she scolded him, "Come back soon, don't stay with others."

"Don't worry, I'll be right back."

"But why do I feel like you're getting further away from me?"

“I can advance but cannot retreat now. I can only stir up the formation in this cave and wait for the formation to counterattack before I can be driven out.”
