What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The Nine-Spirit Green Lion had been away from his homeland for a long time and had no idea that such a thing existed. He couldn't help but look at the Heavenly Official beside him.

This heavenly official was enfeoffed in Cangzhou, and his name should be "An Yanxia"?

A good saying goes: After years of traveling, a traveler will have many old feelings.

Qingshi began to like Yanxia more and more.

Seeing that An Tianguan was not arrogant and was squatting and laughing with him, he felt close to him.

Seeing that the time was right, An Yanxia continued chatting and asked, "I heard that there is a custom of sky burial in Anxi, and there are priests who specialize in sending corpses to the mountains. They are called unclean people."

Qingshi couldn't help but nod and said, "That's right. This is the custom of Zoroastrianism."

An Yanxia sighed and said, "Vulgar, vulgar! The old envoy hasn't returned to his homeland for a long time, right?"

The Blue Lion sighed and said, "I have already spent five hundred days of suffering in heaven."

As he spoke, Qingshi also remembered that in the mortal world, there are one hundred thousand good things and eight thousand wonderful things, and he began to yearn for the mortal world.

“No matter how beautiful it is, it is the water in my hometown. No matter how close it is, it is the people in my hometown!”

Yanxia was also filled with nostalgia, thinking of the good old days on Earth. She took out her wine gourd and two wine cups, and said respectfully, "Old messenger, have a drink of plain wine! I urge you not to be too sad!"

Qingshi misunderstood, thinking that An Yanxia, like him, was also recalling her homeland.

He immediately felt that An Yanxia was a person of affection and righteousness, and was deeply moved, so he took the wine glass.

Although this Nine Spirits Green Lion had nine heads, it only had one true face. He drank the wine and thanked the Heavenly Official, saying, "Today I drank a cup of wine from him. I will repay you tomorrow!"

Yan Xia was happy when she saw that she had tricked Jiuling Yuansheng into getting close to her.

This guy fought back and forth with the Monkey King, he must be a capable person!

Her expression did not change, she just said:

"Let's not talk about this. Next year during the summer solstice, I will go and ask for another pot of Pure Yang Immortal Wine. Then I will drink a couple of cups with the old messenger."

An Yanxia and Jiuling Qingshi drank heartily, like old friends.

Yanxia also activated her succubus skill, and with her high skill points in speaking and some knowledge, she talked about everything from Persian folklore to religious changes, from the battle for supremacy with Chiyou to Dayu's flood control, and what she said actually had some substance.

"Hey! I'm not shy either. I have a good friend of the same generation named Xue Shi'er. Since you're older than me, how about I call you brother?"

"No! No! The Heavenly Official is highly regarded by the Great Heavenly Venerable. How can you lower yourself to be brothers with an old lion like me?"

"All things in heaven and earth are born from one energy. Tracing back to the source, how can there be any distinction between high and low?"

Yan Xia smiled and said, "It's just a private relationship, I don't think the Great Heavenly Venerable would mind."

The blue lion sighed, bowed his head and said: "Such is the heart of a saint! An Ba sin has a bright future."

He neither refused nor agreed, but was just curious about Xue Shier.

This seems to be a lion spirit, so it can barely be considered a younger member of the same clan.

When she heard Yanxia happily talking about Xue Shier's practice and the unpalatable porridge Xue Shier made for her a few days ago, she couldn't help but shake her head.

It’s not as simple as just being friends!

He warned, "Demons often fall into demonic obstacles during their cultivation. Once they do, they are prone to greed, ignorance, anger, and murder. Some even resort to cannibalism, using the mere dregs of our human bodies as nourishment for their cultivation. I have a three-character mantra I devised to break the demon. You can pass it on to her. Reciting it during cultivation will slay the inner demon."

"Thank you so much, brother!"

Outside the temple, the clouds and mist dissipated, and a young girl came out.

It was Xie Ziran, the "Master Qingji" who received An Yanxia.

This Master Xie has profound Taoist skills, but he looks young, about thirteen or fourteen years old, and he has horns.

Yanxia felt that this was an old woman pretending to be young.

As soon as she stepped into the hall, the little girl's nose twitched and her face was intoxicated as she said, "What a nice smell of wine!"

"Who's drinking? Why don't you give me a drink?"

The nine heads of the blue lion closed their eyes at the same time, indicating: Don’t talk nonsense, I didn’t drink.

Yanxia swept her sleeves, and all the wine glasses disappeared. She also looked up at the ceiling of the hall.

Xie Ziran was speechless and said, "An Bazui, you forgot to put away your wine gourd."

"Ok?"

Yanxia was startled and turned around quickly to look, but there was nothing!

He rummaged in the Sumeru mustard seed again and took out a wine gourd in his hand.

Didn’t she hide this in the Sumeru mustard seed?

The little girl put her hands on her hips and said, "Humph! It turns out that it was Anba who was drinking! You even took out your wine gourd!"

Well, I was caught in a sting operation.

"Don't wrongly accuse me!"

Yan Xia put the wine gourd on her back and said, "Master Xie, have you ever seen me drinking?"

"without......"

"Then how can you be so sure?"

"So what were you two drinking here just now?"

Yanxia laughed and said jokingly, "They drink the breeze and eat the clouds and mist, just like monsters eating people!"

Xie Ziran was shocked. Are they still talking about cannibalism?

She also laughed and asked, "Which of you ate a human? It just so happens that I'm in charge of the merits and sins of the Heavenly Officials. Reporting it to the Heavenly Official Office will also count as an achievement."

An Yanxia said casually: "I don't eat people. I can barely be considered a rich person, and I know that rich people are not delicious."

"What's not delicious?"

The Green Lion played the supporting role and said in a muffled voice, "It doesn't taste human."

Yan Xia nodded: "That's right"

Xie Ziran crossed his arms, a smile in his eyes, and asked again: "Does the old messenger also eat people?"

"I don't eat people. I'm a country monster. I've seen a lot of people and I know they're not tasty."

"What?"

An Yanxia also joined in the joke, saying, "The people are suffering."

The blue lion nodded: "Indeed."

"Great! They're talking about cannibalism."

Xie Ziran clapped his hands and said, "You two have great opinions, which should be made into three great white things."

Yan Xia curled her lips and said, "Children are not allowed to drink."

"Hey! I'm a winged guest who has attained enlightenment for many years, but I'm not a child!"

Xie Ziran saw An Yanxia was about to take the wine gourd away, so he shrunk to an inch and walked over to her side, saying with a smile: "Give me a cup quickly. I have nothing to do, so I can drink with Bazui."

She sniffed it and said greedily, "What a good wine!"

An Yanxia held the gourd and questioned, "Master Xie is a celestial god. He has tasted all kinds of fine wines and delicacies, not to mention all kinds of nectar. How can this be considered a good wine?"

"You don't understand!" Xie Ziran laughed and said, "The wine in heaven is as bland as water, while the wine in the human world is as strong and mellow as cheese."

"Everyone knows that the Jade Liquid from Heaven has thirty-six mysterious properties and seventy-two miraculous powers.

"But few people know: there are three thousand kinds of wine in the world: sake, yellow wine, green wine, fruit wine, etc., with eight thousand kinds of wonders and a hundred thousand kinds of goodness. They encompass the sun, moon, stars, food, clothing, housing, transportation, mountains, rivers, plants, birth, old age, sickness, and death! Joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness are all in the wine glass!"

When Xie Ziran was speaking excitedly, he turned around and patted his chest, just like Liu Ling in the wine or Wu Song intoxicated.

This little girl brags without thinking.

Yanxia also listened with joy, clapping her hands and humming along: "One bowl of white wine can make me forget my worries and dispel my sorrows; three bowls of wine can make me compete for the same glory; clouds are fleeting and dogs are rotten, but this fermented glutinous rice wine is the only thing that truly lives up to its reputation!"

The singing voice lingers in the air.

An Yanxia casually threw out three wine glasses and tapped the gourd. Then she heard a gurgling sound, and the golden wine condensed into several small fish, flew out of the gourd mouth, and fell into the wine glasses.

"He's a wine lover!"

Xie Ziran happily took the wine glass, drank it all, wiped his lips with his back hand, and said happily:

"Finally, I've caught you drinking!

"An Ba Zui, Old Green Lion! Each of you write me an 800-word confession and submit it to the Heavenly Court later. I'm worried about not being able to catch anyone guilty lately.

An Yanxia thought the little girl really wanted to drink, but she didn't expect her to be so wicked. She complained, "Master Xie, you're trying to sting the law!"

Xie Ziran was very smart. Although he didn't know the meaning of "fishing enforcement", he understood An Yanxia's meaning and said with a smile:

"Anba, please forgive me. Old Green Lion, don't worry. I've really been lacking in sales lately, and I don't have a replacement. I won't make it difficult for you. I'll just fine you half a month's salary. Here, this is compensation."

After saying that, the little girl took out two heavy porcelain bottles.

Yanxia took it, unplugged it, and smelled the refreshing fragrance.

It turned out to be a bottle of wine.

Xie Ziran said, "I picked this up in the Great Thousand Nectar Palace. Don't let anyone see it."

The blue lion also got a bottle and sniffed it.

He looked at Xie Ziran, his nine heads baring their teeth simultaneously, and warned, "Master Xie, I'm here to guard the Ganlu Palace. You don't want the Great Celestial Venerable to know that you took two bottles of Soul-Returning Juice, do you?"

An Yanxia was confused.

Qingshi explained to Yanxia:

"This is the Soul-Returning Drink from the Ganlu Palace. After drinking it, the soul will fly to the infinite world. Immortals often use this drink when they are reincarnated after experiencing tribulations. If they are not reincarnated, this drink is just a clear and fine wine. After drinking it, you will have a deep sleep for three days, nothing magical."

The little girl raised her hands in surrender.

"I forgot that you're just a janitor, Qingshi! Don't report me, don't report me."

"I'm going to be reincarnated soon, so I took a few more bottles. After all, as you all know, the Third Prince's reincarnation was bumpy. I'm afraid I'll make a mistake and be sent back to heaven to start over again!"

Donghuang Suddenly Receives Jade Talisman: Chapter 121 [The Dispute between Buddhism and Taoism]

"Anbazin, please!"

"Master, please go first."

An Yanxia bid farewell to Old Green Lion and followed Xie Ziran into the Baohua Palace. Behind the Baohua Palace were "one palace, two offices and three ministries".

The first palace is the Miaoyan Palace, where the Emperor Qingxuan resides.

The second office is the Tianguan Office and the Zizhao Neifu, which are in charge of the monks in heaven and on earth who are in charge of the talismans of Miaoyan Palace.

The Three Provinces are the decision-making bodies of the Qinghua Realm, and are not much different from the Three Departments in the human world.

The trip first went to the Heavenly Official Office. On the way, Xie Ziran casually explained the structure of the sky, mostly about the Three Pure Ones, the Four Emperors, the Five Directions and the Five Elders.

"This heavenly realm consists of thirty-three levels, where many immortals and gods reside. Above them is the Heaven of Separation and Hatred, where the Daoist Lord resides. Beyond the heavenly realm, there are the Three Mountains and Ten Islands beyond the East China Sea, the Thirty-Six Cave Heavens, the Seventy-Two Blessed Lands, the Western Heavenly Pure Land of Lingshan, and many other sacred realms of gods and Buddhas."

"But after all, it's really boring. Not as interesting as the real world."

The little girl said playfully, "I want to reincarnate and experience tribulations too, and I must find a fun place to play. Does Anba Zui know where it's fun?"

"If you want to talk about interesting things, after the Tang Dynasty passed the Western Frontier, further west of the Liusha River, there is a country of women. The whole country is made up of women. It's very interesting."

Xie Ziran laughed and said, "What kind of fun is this? I'm afraid it's only fun for some perverts!"

Yanxia was hit by a range attack, and her face hurt a little...

"Well, then to the northwest of the Country of Women is the Country of Poor Women, where all the people are men."

"Boring, boring. Let's have some fun!"

"Well, I heard there's a small country in India called the Kingdom of Miefa. They worship Taoism and suppress Buddhism, and monks are not allowed to enter."

"Then this king must be a tyrant. Why would I go to a place like this? I might as well go to Longhu Mountain, Gezao Mountain, or something like that."

An Yanxia was speechless about Xiao Deng and complained, "I think you are suitable to go to the Lion Country..."
