Chapter 103 Returning to Buzhou Mountain, Arranging for Shuangcha Ridge!
After enjoying a few carefree days in the Kingdom of Women, Xu Xian finally decided to leave.
He thought that the scorpion demon, that sickly and delicate woman, wouldn't let him go easily, but to his surprise, the scorpion demon just sighed softly.
"If you want to leave, then leave. I can't stop you."
"With such strength, you've actually played with me for so long."
"Let's go, let's go quickly."
"Anyway, I don't want to talk to you."
"snort!"
Ha, what a tsundere!
Xu Xian embraced the Scorpion Demon, feeling her body tremble slightly.
I don't know if it's because I feel uncomfortable or because I'm not used to it.
Xu Xian thought for a moment, then lay down on the scorpion demon's lap and let her hold him.
The scorpion demon's body stopped trembling and finally calmed down.
"Hey, when are you coming back to see me?"
"My ability to ride the clouds is extremely powerful. I will come here every three to five days, or perhaps more than ten days."
"Hmph, I don't care anyway!"
Xu Xian comforted the scorpion demon and then said, "I once learned a supernatural power called the Heart-Piercing Horse-Diving Poison. You can try to learn it by analogy."
After saying this, Xu Xian pointed a finger at the Scorpion Demon's forehead, and a mysterious rune entered the Scorpion Demon's mind.
The scorpion demon closed her eyes and pondered for a while, then laughed, "Although it's called the Heart-Piercing Horse-Falling Poison, it's still quite a distance from my Horse-Falling Poison Stance. But since you gave it to me, I'll try to cultivate it."
The Scorpion Demon closed her eyes to cultivate, while Xu Xian rode the Jade Terrace Golden Cloud towards Mount Buzhou.
Xu Xian's departure this time was not short, but compared to the long lifespans of the people of Buzhou Mountain, it was nothing.
Xu Xian returned to Buzhou Mountain and came before Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother, seemingly without arousing any suspicion.
Bai Suzhen looked at Xu Xian with a smile and said, "My lord, you've had a wonderful time this time!"
The Holy Mother of the Three Realms also said softly, "They've become so carefree that they've forgotten their souls."
Xu Xian did not dwell on this issue, but instead said, "Next, I have something to tell you about that concerns the completion of merit for everyone here."
Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother exchanged a glance, and Bai Suzhen asked, "The matter of the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism?"
"Uh, it's a gibbon? That guy really has a big mouth!"
Xu Xian thought that the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism was extremely secretive, but he did not expect that Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother already knew about it.
The Third Holy Mother laughed and said, "Actually, you can't blame the Long-Armed Ape. That guy is just too honest and simple."
Xu Xian waved his hand and laughed, "That's not important. What I want to tell you is that the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism is one of the most important opportunities of this era, almost comparable to the Investiture of the Gods."
"this----"
Neither Bai Suzhen nor the Third Holy Mother experienced the Great Tribulation of the Investiture of the Gods, but they had both heard of the horrors of that calamity.
The current Heavenly Court originated from the Investiture of the Gods.
The eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism today involves such a large number of issues.
Bai Suzhen thought for a moment and then said, "It seems that, with the eastward spread of Mahayana Buddhism, the power structure between the Heavenly Court and Buddhism is about to be reshuffled."
Xu Xian nodded and said, "That's right! Whether it's the Heavenly Court, the Buddhist sect, or Zhen Yuanzi's Earth Immortal lineage, or the Peacock, Roc, and other demon races, they all want a share of the pie in the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism. What we need to do is—"
Xu Xian looked at Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother, his tone extremely solemn: "We must stir up trouble and seize the greatest opportunity!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother felt their bodies tremble slightly.
This was not fear, but an indescribable excitement.
Xu Xian had just said that his merits were complete, and Bai Suzhen was still quite puzzled.
She thought she was simply accumulating merit within the Heavenly Court system to become a minor immortal.
But at this moment, Bai Suzhen and the Third Holy Mother suddenly realized that what Xu Xian meant by "achieving perfect merit" was actually becoming a new force.
The Third Holy Mother looked up at the sky and murmured, "I'm afraid it will cause chaos and upheaval. At that time, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect will become our enemies."
Xu Xian smiled and asked, "Are you scared?"
"Ha, of course I'm not afraid!"
"good!"
Xu Xian was very satisfied, and then he called Xiao Qing and Han Ba, and everyone gathered in the main hall of the main peak.
Xu Xian recounted the story of the eastward transmission of Mahayana Buddhism to everyone, and after they had digested it, he continued, "Now there is a problem that needs to be solved, and that is manpower!"
Xu Xian stretched out his palm, and a lotus flower bloomed in his hand.
The lotus flowers shimmered with light, forming a complete path for the Journey to the West.
Xu Xian pointed to a certain location and said, "This place is called Shuangcha Ridge. It's the first challenge we can intervene in. Who should we send?"
The drought demon's expression hardened, and it began to think carefully.
As the master had said before, Jin Chanzi had not yet taken in the Great Sage Equaling Heaven in Shuangcha Ridge, and had no proper protector at all.
It's nothing more than the Six Ding and Six Jia, and the Daily Duty Officer.
In other words, there is no need for powerful demons in Shuangcha Ridge; a Great Demon realm cultivator is sufficient to guard this place.
Mount Buzhou has gathered eight groups of people, and there is no shortage of demons at the Great Demon level.
The problem is that, starting from Shuangcha Ridge, Buzhou Mountain will truly be exposed to the Heavenly Court and Buddhism.
Therefore, the monsters facing this calamity need to be meticulous and deal with the Six Ding and Six Jia, the Daily Duty Officer, and even Venus.
The two sides could not actually fight, but they had to demonstrate the prestige of Buzhou Mountain.
Xu Xian did not stay at Buzhou Mountain for long and was not very familiar with the eight troops under his command.
It would be a shame to place the White Bone Demon and the Fox Girl in Shuangcha Ridge.
Moreover, the forces Xu Xian recruited in the original game were completely different from the eight groups he currently commands.
This kind of experience naturally cannot be reused.
If we want to find someone else with a meticulous mind, we still need to arrange for Drought Demon.
After pondering for a moment, the Drought Demon said, "Reporting to the master, the scorpion women of the Blue Scorpion clan are meticulous and capable of this task!"
Xu Xian was overjoyed and immediately summoned the Scorpion Woman into the main hall.
The outermost part of Buzhou Mountain consists of eight peaks, which belong to the Blue Scorpion Clan.
The Blue Scorpion King is arranging for his subordinates to allocate cultivation resources.
These demons, residing in Mount Buzhou, have no need to worry about cultivation resources.
Mount Buzhou naturally gathers the spiritual veins of Beiju Luzhou, making its spiritual energy extremely rich.
Xu Xian also obtained countless treasures from the Heavenly Court, which was more than enough to support these demons in their cultivation.
At this moment, a large blue scorpion used its large pincers to grasp a small pill and carefully threw it into a pool of spiritual spring water.
"This is a elixir bestowed upon my master by his mistress, Bai Suzhen."
"The medicinal power is extremely concentrated, and ordinary demons simply cannot withstand it."
"I can only blend it into the spiritual spring, and each clansman can receive a cup of spring water containing the elixir."
"This cup of spring water will allow you to successfully break through to a higher realm and improve your cultivation!"
Beneath the giant blue scorpion, countless other giant blue scorpions were densely packed together.
Of course, many blue scorpions also choose to transform into human form and cultivate themselves with the appearance of humans.
After listening to the big blue scorpion's words, they knelt down and kowtowed to the giant turtle, thanking Xu Xian for his kindness.
Then they lined up to receive the spiritual spring water.
In the latter half of the group, a lively young girl was gazing longingly at the spiritual spring, poking her cup with her finger: "If I poke the cup deeper, I can take away more spiritual spring water—"
Before the girl could finish speaking, she suddenly saw a huge figure appear beside her.
Sensing the familiar presence of the figure, the girl was startled: "M-Your Majesty, I was just joking."
""
The Blue Scorpion King looked at the girl, smiled, and shook his head: "Come with me."
"I just poked the cup, is that enough to deprive me of my chance?"
Although the girl didn't understand, she knew that her king wouldn't harm her, so she followed the Blue Scorpion King and left the place.
He kept turning back to look at the spring, his mouth watering.
"Alright, alright, there will be a bigger opportunity for you later, don't embarrass yourself like this."
The Blue Scorpion King was very pleased with the girl in his tribe, but he was also afraid that she would embarrass herself in front of Xu Xian. Therefore, he instructed her, "No matter what happens from now on, just nod, understand?"
The girl pouted and said, "I heard it, I heard it with both ears! By the way, Your Majesty, where are we going? I've never traveled this road before!"
Blue Scorpion King thought to himself, "Of course you haven't been here before. This is the road to the main peak."
Not to mention you, even I, the Great King, rarely have the opportunity to go to the main peak.
Thinking about it this way, it seems like I've taken advantage of this tribe.
The Blue Scorpion King smugly led the girl to the main peak, only to startle her: "Your Majesty, have you lost your mind? This is the main peak, where my master resides! We can't come here!"
The Blue Scorpion King ignored the startled girl, led her directly into the main hall, and then turned and left.
He did not have Xu Xian's permission, therefore he could not enter the main hall.
The girl stepped inside and immediately saw the figure sitting in the main seat.
Xu Xian, the master of Buzhou Mountain!
The girl had only seen Xu Xian's statue in the temple on the mountain peak; this was the first time she had ever actually met her master.
She was visibly nervous; despite possessing the cultivation of a great demon, she even took a deep breath before stepping forward to Xu Xian, kneeling and kowtowing, saying, "Master!"
Xu Xian looked at the bright-eyed, white-toothed girl and said with a smile, "Don't be shy, get up."
The girl remained kneeling on the ground, motionless: "I dare not be rude!"
"Heh, she's quite obedient."
With a gentle touch, Xu Xian placed a futon beneath the girl.
The young girl sat cross-legged on the futon, blinking her big eyes as she looked at Xu Xian.
Xu Xian chatted with the girl for a few moments, inquiring about her cultivation progress, before finally saying, "I have a task for you."
The girl immediately straightened up: "Yes!"
"Heh, don't rush to agree. This task is a bit complicated. Drought Demon, you explain it to her."
"yes!"
The Drought Demon spoke, explaining the key points of the mission to the girl, before asking, "You need to make the Heavenly Court and Buddhism aware of the power of Mount Buzhou, but you can't truly stop Jin Chanzi. Can you strike the right balance?"
The girl blinked her eyes and immediately nodded, saying, "Of course! All I need to do is build a small temple on the monk's usual route, do some good deeds on a regular basis, and accumulate a good reputation. When the monk passes by, I can use a little trick to offend him, thus placing myself on the moral high ground. At that time, the Heavenly Court and the Buddhist sect will naturally not do anything to me; on the contrary, they will beg me to let the monk pass."
"Forehead----"
Xu Xian was taken aback, and inwardly marveled at how meticulous this young girl truly was.
With a quick glance, he came up with a rather ingenious solution.
Now that the Heavenly Court and Buddhism are thriving and claim to be the orthodox order in the world, they probably won't make things difficult for Scorpion Woman, this little demon who has accumulated good deeds.
If this little demon is also quite resourceful, that would be even better!
Xu Xian looked at the girl in front of him and became more and more satisfied.
Bai Suzhen naturally understood Xu Xian's thoughts, took out a pill, and flicked it to the Scorpion Woman.
"This is a pill bestowed upon you by your master. Take it."
Bai Suzhen was a disciple of Zhulong, so she was naturally familiar with the ways of fire.
Ever since she saw the elixir that Xu Xian brought back from the Tushita Palace, Bai Suzhen has also been making elixirs.
Buzhou Mountain was rich in resources, and Bai Suzhen was extremely talented, so she quickly refined some quite remarkable pills.
Although far inferior to Laozi's Nine-Turn Golden Elixir, it was still enough to drive demons at the Great Demon Realm mad.
The elixir that Bai Suzhen gave to the girl at this time, in terms of medicinal power alone, even surpassed the one given to the Blue Scorpion Clan today.
However, this pill has a gentler effect, making it easy for a young girl to absorb.
The girl accepted the pill with both hands and bowed to Xu Xian in gratitude.
But she found that Xu Xian wasn't looking at her; instead, he was muttering something to himself.
"Accumulating merit and doing good deeds — temples — the treasure that stops Tang Sanzang —"
Xu Xian muttered to himself for a while, then his eyes lit up.
He reached out and flipped his hand, and a golden pagoda appeared in his palm.
When Bai Suzhen saw this pagoda, her eyes held a complex expression.
It is Leifeng Pagoda, a gold-level treasure, used for suppression!
In the original storyline, the monsters on the journey to the West possessed all sorts of treasures.
Generally speaking, gold-level treasures can cause great trouble for the pilgrimage team.
Needless to say, red-level treasures are unbreakable. If the gods and Buddhas of the heavens don't put in the effort, even they won't be able to decipher them.
Xu Xian never used the tower once after he acquired it.
Because the pagoda carries an extremely strong Buddhist atmosphere, even the slightest movement of it will attract the attention of the Western sacred mountain.
However, after several hundred years, the Buddhist aura within the tower has been completely refined by Xu Xian.
At this point, the pagoda had become a treasure of Buzhou Mountain.
They can use it at will, and they are not afraid of being spied on by Buddhist sects.
Xu Xian handed the pagoda to the Scorpion Woman and then touched her forehead.
The Scorpion Woman immediately felt a splitting headache.
It was as if countless complex pieces of knowledge were flowing through her mind.
"Thank you, Master."
The Scorpion Woman knew that this was an opportunity bestowed upon her by her master.
Therefore, she suppressed her headache and kowtowed to Xu Xian.
"Thoroughly comprehend these four supernatural powers, and at the same time master the use of Leifeng Pagoda. I will personally test you a year from now."
"yes!"
The Scorpion Woman accepted the pagoda and retreated with difficulty.
Upon returning to the mountain peak belonging to the Blue Scorpion Clan, she immediately went into seclusion to carefully savor the complex information in her mind.
Three days later, she finally sorted out the complicated information and learned the names of the four supernatural powers.
[Pray for clear skies][Pray for rain][Spell water][Medicine]!
Among the Seventy-Two Earthly Fiends, this is the most suitable supernatural power to manifest in the mortal realm.
