Chapter 73, Lighting the Lamp
Tongtian looked down at Bai Jin, who had a bruised nose and a swollen face in his main seat, and said with a smile in his eyes, "Is Duobao really the one who beat him?"
Bai Jin nodded repeatedly and said firmly: "It's really a fight from my senior brother, I'm merciless! The disciple is so miserable."
Bai Jin also knew in his heart that this trick could not be hidden from the master, but he still had to sell it. Otherwise, how could the master calm down? Even if the senior brother beat him half to death, he would never let the master take action. Once the master took action, he might turn from the noble white crane of the sky into a red-crowned crane, and he would still be the kind that could never be restored. Senior brother, I can only work hard for you, and I will compensate you in the future.
Tongtian waved his hand and said unhappy: "When you go back and recover from your injuries, you are the first disciple of the outer sect of the Saints. What kind of morality is it to be so embarrassed?"
Bai Jin said in surprise: "Thank you, Master!" He immediately stood up and ran outside.
"Slow down~"
Bai Jin paused under his feet, turned his head to look at his master with guilt, I am so miserable, Master, you won’t punish me, right?!
Tongtian sat in the main seat with a plain face and said, "Tell Duobao, let him think about your actions in the past few days."
A look of doubt flashed in Bai Jin's heart. What are we doing? We did nothing! He answered honestly: "Yes!"
"Go!"
After Bai Jin ran out of the hall, his body flashed and returned to clean, and he flew downwards.
In the Shangqing Palace, Tongtian Gao sat in the main seat, his face calmed down. Thinking of the words of his elder brother before, Bai Jin was the only one among the hundreds of disciples who really cared about him. He sighed in his heart, Duobao, you have disappointed your master, and you have done nothing.
...
On the other side, Lan Deng came to a mountain range by clouds and fog. His expression suddenly moved. He felt a powerful wave of power in one direction, and his face changed and rushed forward.
In a valley, a strange divine beast knelt down, with a cow's body, a deer's head, a ponytail, and a dragon scale. A wave of power surged on its body. It struggled hard, but it could not move at all.
In front of the strange beast was a handsome man in a white robe, elegant and easy-going, exuding a temperament that makes people want to be close to.
The handsome man smiled and said, "The four-dimensional beast is like a divine beast. You are destined to be with me in the West. Are you willing to go to the West with me? I will pass on your Western Avenue."
Sibuli roared in a silence: "Who are you?"
The handsome man said gently: "Western Zhunti."
The four-way beast widened its deer's eyes and exclaimed: "Saint Zhunti?! You are a saint!"
The handsome man nodded with a smile.
The four-defying characters didn't struggle immediately, and they showed a look of surprise. Saint! This is a saint. What a blessing this is to be seen by the saint. Not to mention the West, we have to go even outside the world!
Zhunti said gently: "Would you like to follow me to the West to visit the Western Avenue?"
Sibuli nodded repeatedly and couldn't wait to shout excitedly: "I'm willing, I'm sure I'm willing to, please ask the saint to take it in."
"Fellow Taoist, please stop." An old voice came from the east.
A auspicious cloud came quickly, and the auspicious cloud fell and dispersed. The thin-bodied Lan Deng stood next to the Sibusi.
Lan Deng bowed and said respectfully, "I have met the Saint of Zhunti."
Zhunti said happily with a slight jaw on his head: "It turns out that fellow Taoist Lan Deng is here, so fellow Taoist does not need much ritual."
Randeng stood up straight, turned his head and looked at Sibuli next to him, sighing in his heart, it was hard to deal with!
Zhunti asked with a smile: "What happened to fellow Taoist Raindeng?"
Randeng bowed respectfully and said, "My teacher is still missing a mount. I saw that this beast is destined to be with my teacher. I came here specially and asked the Saint Cunti to give up his love."
The Saint Zhunti shook his head slightly and said, "I have promised to take it to the West. If I regret it at this moment, I will break my promise. This is inappropriate."
Randeng frowned, it was difficult to deal with this.
Zhunti looked at Sibuli, then suddenly smiled and said, "But since it was a fellow Taoist who came to ask for it, it would be a pity to refuse it, so it would hurt your affection! Let this divine beast make a choice to see who it is willing to go with."
Randeng immediately looked happy, bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, Saint Zhunti."
Zhunti looked at Sibuli and said, "It's time for you to choose. Are you willing to go with me to practice hard in the West, or are you willing to make a mount for Senior Brother Yuan?"
Sibuli looked at Zhunti and Lan Deng again. The whole beast was confused. The two saints competed for themselves. The heart instantly fell into a floating state, and the whole world was spinning, the sky was falling, the earth was surging, and golden lotus was surrounded by colorful light, and it reached its peak in an instant.
Randeng also said, "Please choose!"
The four-dimensional figure suddenly came to their senses, and the deer brain began to move rapidly. There were two saints in the West, but the original was one of the Three Pure Ones, three saints, three greater than two, and just now the Saint of Cunti said that going to the West was to practice hard, so I didn't want to go.
Sibuli immediately shouted: "I chose the original saint."
Randeng smiled in surprise and said quickly: "Please leave it behind by Saint Zhunti."
Zhunti nodded and smiled freely and said, "Since I've said it, I will fulfill it. The four-no-like beasts belong to you."
Randeng bent down and bowed and said gratefully: "Thank you, Saint Zhunti."
The Saint Zhunti raised his hand and said, "Fellow Taoist, don't need much politeness, please get up!"
Randeng stood up with the flow.
Zhunti said with emotion: "There were fewer and fewer fellow Taoists in Zixiao Palace. Today I rarely meet a fellow Taoist, can I tell you next to you?"
"How dare you postpone the invitation from the saint?"
Zhunti reached out and chuckled, saying, "Please!"
Ran Deng patted the Sibuli beast and said, "You are waiting here and don't walk around."
"Yes!" The Sibuli beast groaned, with excitement in his eyes.
Randeng followed Zhunti step by step into the void and walked towards the distance, and came to a mountain.
Zhunti stretched out his hand, and the soil and rocks on the mountain surged upwards, and the light flashed and solidified into a gorgeous pavilion. The two walked into the pavilion and sat down.
Zhunti looked at Dongfang and said with a smile: "I heard that fellow Taoists came to the sect of Senior Brother Yuan, but I wonder if they were forced by Senior Brother Yuan?"
Ran Deng shook his head and said, "No, I was looking for my own path and practicing hard without any results. Then I became a disciple of the saint, hoping to get guidance from the saint."
Zhunti suddenly said, "So that's it. Three thousand great roads can prove the way, but the talent that suits you the most is going further. This is why fellow Taoists have never broken through to the Quasi Saint?"
Randeng nodded and said seriously: "What I pursue is not the quasi-saint realm, but the path to my great way."
Cunti put his hands together and said happily: "Great goodness! This is what those who seek the Tao do."
Randeng shook his head and said regretfully: "But the way is hard to find!"
"Do you think the primitive saints can't help you with the path of enlightenment?"
Randeng shook his head and said, "I don't know!"
Zhunti thought for a while and said sincerely: "If fellow Taoists cannot find the way to the Tao in the Abhidharma, they might as well come to our Western teachings."
Ran Deng shook his head and laughed and said, "The Three Qingshu is the Hongjun Avenue, and the Three Thousand Avenues are all in it."
Zhunti said seriously: "But I have opened up eight hundred side doors in the West. Although it is derived from the Three Thousand Great Ways, it is different. Fellow Taoists might as well give it a try."
Randeng was moved and murmured: "Eight hundred side door~"
Zhunti said with a smile: "Fellow Taoist might as well listen to my preaching and try to see if you can get something."
Randeng stood up and bowed solemnly, saying, "I have a job, the saint of Cunti."
Zhunti said with a smile: "It would be a blessing to help fellow Taoists embark on the road."
Randeng stood up and a warm feeling rose in his heart. Saint Zhunti is a good person!
