Chapter 22 Bai Suzhen's Thoughts, Laoshan Taoist
Chapter 22 Bai Suzhen's Thoughts, Laoshan Taoist
Xiaoqing turned to look at Fahai and felt her body trembling slightly.
That old bald monk is incredibly skilled!
Even more terrifying was that Fahai was dressed in a holy robe, holding a warding-off-evil staff and a purple-gold alms bowl, with the Wuwang Buddhist beads in his palm.
It's obvious they came to capture demons.
Xiaoqing was trembling with fear and could barely move.
She could clearly sense that there were already several demonic auras in Fahai's golden alms bowl, and each of them was powerful.
This old bald monk has gained a lot from this trip!
Xu Xian then naturally stood in front of Xiao Qing and said, "You waited for me just to see the medicinal herbs? Stop causing trouble and go home."
As he spoke, he gently patted Xiaoqing's shoulder.
Xiaoqing suddenly felt a sense of relief and, without saying anything more, quickly ran away.
Fahai had already sensed the demonic aura emanating from Xiaoqing, so naturally he wouldn't let her escape.
He raised the golden bowl, about to recite the incantation, when suddenly a mortal stopped him.
"Master, I was just looking for you."
Fahai frowned slightly, wanting to push Xu Xian away, but also knowing that this man had a karmic connection to him.
"I have memorized your magic; you will not escape Hangzhou!"
Fahai watched Xiaoqing's retreating figure and ultimately did not make another move.
He turned to Xu Xian, bowed, and said, "Amitabha, do you believe me now, benefactor?"
Xu Xian scratched his head: "Believe in what?"
Fahai narrowed his eyes: "Your wife and that girl Xiaoqing just now, they are clearly two snake demons!"
Xu Xian retorted without hesitation, "Nonsense! I came here to tell you to stay away from my house!"
After saying that, he turned around and left.
Fahai watched Xu Xian's retreating figure and shook his head: "Once I've investigated the cause of Liang Lian's death, I'll go and subdue the two demons, Bai and Qing!"
Xu Xian walked home, pondering the plot.
Fahai is the most important link in Bai Suzhen's love tribulations.
Bai Suzhen, on the other hand, stirred up Fahai's greed, anger, and ignorance, which was also a tribulation in his cultivation.
Their fates are intertwined, making it extremely difficult to avoid.
Even if Xu Xian is familiar with the plot and intervenes forcefully.
It can only change the process, not the final battle between the two.
Of course, Xu Xian wasn't entirely useless.
Because of Xu Xian's intervention, the ending of Bai Suzhen's story is no longer a simple happy ending.
It depends on the outcome of the final battle between Bai Suzhen and Fahai.
If Fahai wins, he can break free from greed, anger, and ignorance, and will be in charge of Jinshan Temple during his lifetime and return to the Western Paradise to enjoy ultimate bliss after his death.
Xu Xian, of course, would not allow such a thing to happen; he needed a perfect ending for the Bai Suzhen storyline.
Bai Suzhen wins, Jinshan Temple is destroyed!
Xu Xian obtains the innate, immaculate body and numerous Buddhist treasures from Fahai!
Only in this way can he quickly clear the Lanruo Temple dungeon with overwhelming force and forcefully suppress the hidden BOSS, the Black Mountain Demon!
Then, he can withstand the pressure from all the gods and Buddhas and plan the journey to the West.
"According to the plot, the Calabash Brothers should have already been born and are about to wreak havoc on Calabash Mountain."
"Ordinary demons and even demon leaders are no match for the Calabash Brothers. Only the treasures of the Scorpion Demon and the Snake Demon can subdue them."
"I'll take advantage of the chaos and get the [Seven-Colored Lotus] from the mountains!"
"We need the skill to traverse mountains... Laoshan Taoist."
When Xu Xian arrived home, Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen were already waiting for him.
Xiaoqing whispered something to Bai Suzhen, who then asked with a smile, "Did you bring back the medicinal herbs, my lord?"
"Yes, it's already been sent to the clinic."
"You've worked hard, my lord."
Bai Suzhen removed Xu Xian's outer robe and then prepared to cook.
Just as she was about to leave, she suddenly asked, "How have you been feeling these past few days, my lord?"
Xu Xian knew that this was the result of Xiaoqing blowing on Bai Suzhen.
When I took the Ganoderma lucidum, it did release a little bit of mysterious energy.
Xiaoqing has already discovered it.
However, both Xiaoqing and Bai Suzhen believed it was the work of the Lingzhi herb and did not think that Xu Xian had embarked on the path of cultivation.
Xu Xian waved his arm, a look of surprise on his face. "I was just about to tell my wife that since the Dragon Boat Festival, I've felt much lighter and healthier, unlike before when I was so weak. I never imagined that having nightmares could change my constitution."
"Hehe, my lord, you've turned misfortune into blessing!"
Bai Suzhen smiled and then went to the kitchen to cook.
Xiaoqing immediately followed him out.
"Sister, I told you, the Ganoderma lucidum herb made that guy much more powerful."
Bai Suzhen nodded, and after a long while, she said, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Xiaoqing was stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was happening.
The elder sister did not want Xu Xian to live like an ordinary mortal, with only eighty years of lifespan.
She wanted Xu Xian to embark on the path of cultivation so they could be husband and wife for a long time!
Xiaoqing exclaimed in surprise, "Really? Sister, you can achieve your goal in another thirty or fifty years. Why bother?"
"What do you think of my husband?"
Xiaoqing frowned slightly, thought carefully, and then solemnly replied, "I have to admit that guy is better than I imagined, much better! From any perspective, he and my sister are a perfect match... except for lifespan."
While busy with her hands, Lady White Snake uttered simple yet sincere words: "Human love is intoxicating, and I truly wish to be husband and wife with my husband for a long time."
Xiaoqing became anxious: "If that happens, Sister won't be able to achieve perfect merit!"
Bai Suzhen prepared the meal and asked Xiaoqing to help serve it.
Just before entering the house, she whispered, "When we first got married, my husband once said to me, 'I envy not the immortals, but only the mandarin ducks.' At first, I didn't understand, but after the Dragon Boat Festival, I made up my mind to let my husband embark on the path of cultivation."
"I envy not the immortals, but the loving couple..."
Xiaoqing muttered something, not understanding.
The two went inside and stopped discussing the matter.
Xu Xian, with his keen senses, naturally heard the conversation between Qing and Bai.
He just smiled and didn't mention it again.
After the meal, Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen went to bed to rest.
Now that Xu Xian had already revealed some of the effects of the Ganoderma lucidum, he naturally worked even harder at night.
The once sturdy wooden bed seemed unable to bear the weight, and began to creak and groan.
The two fell asleep late at night, feeling quite satisfied.
At noon, Xu Xian woke up.
"To activate the [Laoshan Taoist] instance, you first need to leave your body and then climb the misty Laoshan Mountain."
Thinking of this, Xu Xian immediately activated the third level of the [Small Heavenly Cycle Hibernation Technique] – Spiritual Journey to the Void!
Xu Xian's breathing was steady, and his complexion was rosy, as if he were in a state of excellent sleep.
But his soul had already drifted into the void and entered the clouds.
Amidst the swirling clouds and mist, it appears as if a celestial mountain is soaring straight into the sky.
Xu Xian's soul seemed to transform into an ordinary mortal and landed at the foot of the mountain.
"The time it takes to climb a mountain depends on good fortune, and with my current good fortune..."
Xu Xian shook his head with a wry smile and climbed the steps.
Fortunately, the [Laoshan Taoist] instance, combined with the Divine Wandering state, almost puts the outside world in a state of time stop.
Even if he spends three to five years climbing here, it's only one night for his physical body.
"It can't take three to five years to climb, can it?"
Xu Xian muttered something in the misty mountains and continued climbing.
Seven months later, Xu Xian arrived at the mountaintop and saw the Sanqing Temple!
Xu Xian stared at the Taoist temple above him, gritting his teeth: "I hate immersive experiences!"
