Buddha is the Tao

Zhou Qing sat in the Immortal Mansion and called his disciples to come one by one. The second-generation disciples Liao Xiaojin, Wen Lanxin, Big and Small Foxes, Long Tian, ​​and Long Di, and the third-generation disciples Xiang Hui, Dai Jinrong, Li Rong, Huang Tianbo, Xie Xiaohong, Li Jie, Liu Zhihua, Kang Jie, and Xiao Kunlun, were all listening to his orders.

Zhou Qing's disciples are now quite large. The second-generation disciples are all immortals who have escaped from the cycle of karma. Although Wen Lanxin, Big and Small Foxes, and Lan Shen are still young and cannot compare to those who have been immortals for a long time, they all have powerful magic weapons.

The Demon King Hall that Zhou Qing robbed was secretly taken out by the Jiao Demon King from the ancient prehistoric heaven. They are all magic weapons made by the ancient demon clan. Although they are not good-looking, they are all powerful. The Jiao Demon King was reluctant to give them to his subordinates, but Zhou Qing took advantage of them.

Liao Xiaojin, who refined Chiyou's blood and achieved his true body, was certainly much stronger than everyone else. Red Boy got the Sheyue bow and arrow, and his own strength was strong enough. In a fight, he was not inferior to Liao Xiaojin. Long Tianlongdi, the two ancient dragon whales, had cultivated for tens of thousands of years, and their true energy was simply terrifying. Zhou Qing got these four people. Although his foundation was still shallow, he was much stronger than before. At least he could handle any small matter without doing it himself.

Among the three generations of disciples, only Dai Jinrong had a relatively high level of Taoism, but she had only survived the five great heavenly tribulations, which was not even as good as the toad before. However, compared with the human world, it was much faster. To cultivate to this level, it would take at least 800 years, if not a thousand.

The rest of the three generations of disciples have successively entered the late stage of returning to the void, survived one or two great heavenly tribulations, and their strength is not enough to make it in the earthly immortal world, so they have to continue to practice.

"Also, you two, go and bring your mounts over." Zhou Qing said to the big and small foxes.

The little fox Zhou Chen led the powerful bear king and the toad over. The toad's six eyes turned, and it was unknown what it was thinking.

"You two have been my disciples' mounts, and you have made great contributions. I have also promised that after I become a Taoist, I will convert you. Now you all have to become immortals. I am merciful and will return your true bodies. You can become my disciples and help manage my demon soldiers. Are you willing?" Zhou Qing's voice came down from above.

Such a good thing, how could the toad and the bear king be unwilling? Zhou Qing's magical powers are now completely irresistible to them. As long as Zhou Qing moves his fingers, they will be annihilated. It seems that the gap between the five great leaders and Zhou Qing is an insurmountable gap.

The day when the apricot yellow flag and the seven treasures tree were taken away, Zhou Qing understood the gap. "Chaos never counts years, each will complete the truth with its own wonderful way. At that time, there was no starry sky. There were parties before the sky."

Zhou Qing sighed in his heart and asked Liao Xiaojin to accept the two monsters as his disciples. He removed the golden talisman and the restriction. The toad and the bear rolled and turned into a big man and a young man. Zhou Qing gave them Taoist robes and asked them to put them on. He said, "I will give you Taoist names for you two."

He said to the powerful bear king, "You can be called Taoist Feixiong!" The powerful bear king was happy and obeyed the decree.

Zhou Qing said to the toad again, "You have six eyes, so you can be called Taoist Liutong!" The toad was also happy, and the two monsters bowed to Zhou Qing sincerely.

"Longtian, Longdi, you have also achieved the right result. If you become my disciples, you will no longer be monsters, but immortals. You can also help your senior brother manage the monster soldiers."

Longtian and Longdi were originally commanding troops under the Jiao Demon King. They were familiar with the route and were of great help to Liao Xiaojin.

Since the destruction of Donghuang Taiyi, the demon clan has lost its status and is not orthodox. Only by worshipping the Chan and Jie sects can they be called immortals, and worshipping Buddhism can they be called Arhats, Bodhisattvas, and Buddhas. If they don't have connections, they are just monsters, at most a demon immortal, and cannot enter the mainstream. Zhou Qing received the position of Gou Chen and the talisman of Yuanshi Tianzun, and worshipped him as a disciple, which can be regarded as a positive result. In the future, he can communicate with the Tianjie immortals on an equal footing, and may even attend the Pantao Banquet, which is a right that monsters cannot enjoy.

It's like, immortals are the government of the court, and monsters are just outlaws. Monsters with magical powers are recruited and become positive results.

Long Tianlongdi followed the Jiao Demon King, but he was still a monster after all. If he followed Zhou Qing, he became an immortal, so of course he was willing.

"Xiao Jin, gather the demon soldiers and settle them on the top of the mountain to guard the mine. The rest of the disciples, guard the Immortal Palace and Black Wind Mountain. Yunxia, ​​you also go to the side and ask your master to guard the Great Freedom Palace. By the way, borrow the Qingjing Glazed Bottle. I want to use my magical powers to move mountains and recreate the world. When Xiao Jin is very happy, let the immortals who come and go see that the current situation has lost the face of my Tiandao sect."

Zhou Qing gave the instructions one by one, and of course his disciples did not dare to neglect them. Yunxia also went.

Since taking over 3,700 three-headed mountains and a territory of 8 million miles, the number of demon soldiers under Liao Xiaojin has increased to 1.5 million. Although most of them are weak, they are still a number and can be used to some extent. The 20,000 demon fairy sailors of the Jiao Demon King are the real elite. Liao Xiaojin firmly grasped them in his hands, settled them down, used magic power to suppress the mountaintops, and managed the flowers, trees, birds and beasts to see how Zhou Qing used his magic power.

Zhou Qing flew up to the sky and chanted a spell. Hula! Hula! All the mountain gods and land gods of the 3,700 mountaintops ran out, each leading a team of ghost soldiers, and a large group of black people knelt below.

"You lift the mountains and put them down one by one according to my order. I will set up a big formation to gather spirits, which will be of great benefit to your cultivation and will definitely not spoil your blood food."

How could these mountain gods and land gods disobey my order? Zhou Qing called on the four gods of Jiedi, the duty officer, and the day and night wandering gods to help. In a moment, the mountains flew up and the entire two worlds were flattened.

Fortunately, those gods used a sleight of hand, so ordinary people could not see it. Even if the cultivators knew what was going on, they would not say it.

Zhou Qing spent three days and three nights to set up the flags one by one, and asked the gods to place the mountains according to the positions of the flags, creating a new world. Yunxia brought the bottle, and Zhou Qing washed the mountains one by one, and rain and dew fell, and all things grew. The gods thanked him and left.

Everything was settled. Lan Shen came back and asked the Dragon Palace for many exotic fruits, but it was still far from enough. Zhou Qing had no choice but to sit in the Immortal Palace to think of a solution. He lit a stick of incense and entered into a state of meditation on the spot. After half an hour, he came back.

"Do you have a solution?" Yunxia asked hurriedly when she saw Zhou Qing smiling.

"I haven't figured out a solution, but I accidentally got a glimpse of the secret. Don't return this pure glass bottle. Just say I borrowed it for a few days." Zhou Qing said with a smile.

"What's going on? It's so mysterious?" Yunxia asked in surprise.

"This is a secret of heaven. It has a great relationship with your Da Zizai Palace. You will know in five days at least and eight days at most." Zhou Qing said. Seeing this, Yunxia didn't ask any more questions.

Zhou Qing's enlightenment that day made him more and more profound. As long as he focused on meditation and had the chance, he could vaguely see the past and future. This was not a magical power. Bodhisattvas and even Arhats in Buddhism could do this, but the deeper the Taoism, the more accurate the perception.

As the two were talking, a disciple came to report: "Master, outside the mountain gate, there are people who claim to be disciples of the Five Zhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou who want to see you?"

"What? Wanshou Mountain Five Zhuang Temple, disciples of Zhen Yuanzi? Come on!" Zhou Qing was startled and said immediately.

After half an hour, Wen Lanxin led the way and led more than a dozen immortals, carrying a gold-painted plate with a radius of eight feet, covered with a brocade map of geography, all the way to the Immortal Mansion, and bowed to Zhou Qing before stopping.

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Qing asked curiously.

"I heard that the disciple of the Emperor had a family, and my master received the invitation and should have come in person, but he suddenly comprehended the Taoism and was in seclusion. I am afraid that he will not be able to come to congratulate after August, so another immortal came to give a gift first, which is ten ginseng fruits, to show my gratitude."

The leading immortal saluted Zhou Qing and ordered the immortal on the stage to unveil the embroidered geographical map. Suddenly, a bright light shone, and the whole immortal palace was filled with fragrance. Wen Lanxin took a breath of fragrance, and his limbs and bones were floating. The whole person was extremely sober. The fragrance penetrated into the internal organs and merged into the body. Suddenly, the true essence surged, and it was not easy to calm down. In one breath, the true essence collected from the essence of the sun and the moon and the spiritual energy of the heaven and earth in the body increased a lot. These increased true essences will take at least ten years of effort to gather.

"I've heard that ginseng fruit is a supreme treasure, but I still underestimated it. Can a single sniff of its fragrance offset ten years of hard work?"

You know, once you achieve immortality, progress is extremely slow, and the amount of heaven and earth energy you absorb and exhale also increases dramatically. The true essence that Wen Lanxin has accumulated through ten years of hard work is enough to allow a cultivator in the Spiritualization Stage to progress immediately to the late stage of Return to Void.

"If an ordinary person smells it a few more times, wouldn't he become an immortal? There is such a good thing?"

Wen Lanxin was shocked. Among the billions of rays of light, there were ten one-foot-tall babies sitting, naked, with all the facial features intact, smiling, vivid, chubby, and pink.

The immortal covered the brocade map again, and the rays of light disappeared immediately, returning to their original appearance. Wen Lanxin sniffed a few more times, and the fragrance disappeared.

"This ginseng fruit cannot be exposed for too long, otherwise it will disappear after six hours. Only by covering it with this embroidered geographical map can it be kept safe." The immortal added.

"Well, Zhenyuan Daxian, thank you for your concern. My disciple's wedding is just a small matter, how can it be worthy of such a generous gift?" Zhou Qing said with a smile and said a few polite words.

After staying for a few cups of tea, the immortals stood up to say goodbye. Zhou Qing couldn't keep them, so he had to see them off personally.

"Master, what does this mean? We Tiandao Sect and Wuzhuang Temple have never met and have no contact. Why do you send such a generous gift?"

Wen Lanxin, the big and small foxes, Liao Xiaojin, and Long Tianlongdi all came over, looking very greedy. Long Tianlongdi even swallowed his saliva secretly. Ginseng fruit is not a joke. It is countless times better than the peaches of the Queen Mother. It is a spiritual root of the earth immortals when the world was created. It bears the primordial energy and seizes the fortune of the universe. The benefits of it cannot be explained in three days and three nights.

"What have you become? Cultivating the Tao is one's own hard work. Relying on external objects is ultimately a minor path. Look at the couplet written by the master himself?" Zhou Qing scolded loudly.

The disciples looked at the two lines of words on the pillars of the main hall, and they all understood something. Only the little fox was puzzled, and his eyes were still fixed on the plate of ginseng fruit.

Their roots were revealed at this moment. The little fox had a shallow foundation. In the end, his name was on the Conferred God List, and he would inevitably go to the Conferred God Platform. Zhou Qing made a big fuss about this, which was a very distant thing.

Of course, no one knew about this now. Only Zhou Qing felt a little uneasy, but it disappeared in an instant. He just thought that the little fox's heart had not been restrained. He was naughty for a while and could not understand the superior and wonderful directness, so he didn't take it to heart.

"What are you still standing there for. Xiaojin, carry this plate of fruit in and put it away. You will use it to entertain guests in the future. The rest, go to the door to greet guests." Zhou Qing shouted again.

"Master is becoming more and more powerful!"

The little fox muttered. When the disciples left the mountain gate, they saw golden light lingering in the sky, and more than a hundred tall golden-haired monkeys came down. The leading golden-haired monkey was about ten feet tall, holding a golden stick as thick as a bowl, wearing a lion armor, and looked very majestic.

"Where are you, fellow Taoist?" Wen Lanxin and the disciples stepped forward to salute.

The golden-haired monkey quickly asked his subordinates to take the golden stick, and also bowed and said, "I am Marshal Ma under the seat of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Huaguo Mountain. I want to see the Emperor today. Please introduce me!"

Wen Lanxin quickly took Marshal Ma into the mountain gate. Seeing hundreds of golden-haired monkeys holding huge plates covered with brocade paintings, the little fox muttered, "Another gift!" Although the voice was small, Marshal Ma still heard it. Marshal Ma turned around, his hairy face opened his mouth and smiled at the little fox, scaring the little fox so much that she almost fell off the cloud and quickly hid behind her sister.

Marshal Ma turned his head away, and the little fox patted her chest and let out a sigh of relief. It was because of this smile that the little fox escaped from the disaster in the future thanks to Marshal Ma.

After entering the Immortal Palace, Zhou Qing sat down again and asked questions. Marshal Ma and the immortal said the same thing: "I am sorry that my great king cannot come because of something. I would like to send you peaches and fruits grown in Huaguo Mountain. I hope the emperor will not despise them."

The two sides were polite for a while. Zhou Qing asked his servants to take over hundreds of trays and served tea. After drinking a few cups, Marshal Ma said goodbye and Zhou Qing escorted him to the mountain gate.

Huaguo Mountain is a sacred mountain vein. The peaches produced there are from the same root as the Queen Mother's peaches. Although they are not as precious as ginseng fruits, they are also supreme immortal products. Zhou Qing counted them and found that there were no less than 3,000. The rest of the fruits and herbs were countless, including dates the size of papayas, longans as black as gold, lotus roots as white jade, golden lotus pods as big as washbasins, etc., all of which were treasures of the immortals.

"Why are Huaguo Mountain and Wuzhuang Temple so generous?" Yunxia was surprised.

"This is worth pondering. I know what's going on." Zhou Qing quietly dismissed his disciples and told them to practice on their own. He entered into meditation and sat still.

Four days passed, and everything was peaceful. No one came to give gifts in advance. He got ginseng fruit, peaches and other things, and borrowed many things from the Dragon Palace, which could barely serve as a treat.

Zhou Qing opened his eyes and called Liao Xiaojin to come over.

"Master, what's the matter?" Liao Xiaojin asked.

"Although I have arranged a marriage for you, you don't know the details of the other party. Besides, Xi Niu Hezhou is a little flustered. Your seven fiancées are all women. I'm afraid that if one of them is lost, there will be a problem with the wedding after August. Now that we have notified all parties, there must be no problems, which will make the gods laugh. You can go to Jiuquan Mountain in Xi Niu Hezhou and visit Red Boy to get familiar with the situation." Zhou Qing said.

Liao Xiaojin laughed: "Master, you are getting more and more confused. Feng Ling'er and the others are not ordinary women, but demon kings with great magical powers. How could they lose anything?"

"Go when I tell you to go. There is a great opportunity and a test for you. I want to go to the Heavenly Palace to prepare for your wedding. Go quickly." Zhou Qing laughed and shouted.

"Master is keeping it a secret. It's better to go and take a look. Wait for me to tell you about the training of my demon soldiers, and then come to say goodbye to you. Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Well, there is one more thing. If your junior brother Red Boy causes any trouble and asks you for help, you can only act in secret and never show up. Do you understand? You don't need to come to see me. Just go directly." Zhou Qing said.

Liao Xiaojin went out. Later, Zhou Qing picked up the bamboo stick and went straight to the heaven and entered the South Heaven Gate.

Let alone Zhou Qing's affairs, Red Boy got the benefit for himself, bid farewell to his parents and Zhou Qing, his cheap master, set up the Fire Cloud, and rushed all the way. It took two days and two nights to reach the Flame Mountain in Xiniu Hezhou, his own territory.

Red Boy's Five Flames Divine Fire Escape Technique is a fire escape, and he is born with a spirit body and is extremely fast.

Although the Flame Mountain is only 800 miles in radius, the surrounding mountains are at least 300,000 miles in radius. Only the Flame Mountain with a radius of 800 miles is blazing all year round, rushing to the sky. Even iron will melt thousands of miles away, not to mention the temperature in the center.

However, Red Boy is not afraid, but likes it. Since he cultivated the Five Flames Divine Fire, he hollowed out the 800-mile Flame Mountain and built it into a palace. Near the Flame Mountain, no grass grows, no wood or stone remains, all of it is crystal red ground, inherited the fire energy, and gave birth to many spirits.
