Chapter 49 - 48:1 know you’re in a hurry, but don’t rush for now!
This moment.
Upon seeing the leader’s astonished expression.
Black Wind Town’s Land God felt a thump in his heart, could it be that our leader is financially tight; so the task… in the end, would it not fall on him?
According to his analysis, among the superior immortal’s territory, besides him, there are three other Land Gods and two homeless Devil Race, who are all destitute.
However…he’s not much belter, although he is a Land God of the town, under the oppression of Guanyin Zen Temple , he barely has any surplus provisions.
He grits his teeth.
“Deign to listen. Supreme Being, I am willing to offer two taels of gold for the construction of rhe Taoist temple!11 Black Wind Mountain s Land God said, deeply bowing down after he finished speaking.
He being a grassroot officer…suffering hard.
However.
As the words of Black Wind Town s Land God fell.
Azure Dragon Mountain Land God, Black Wind Mountain s Land God, Black Dragon Pool’s Water God, and Young Lord White Snake and Black Bear Essence, two demons, became even more bitter.
Because not to mention two taels of gold from them, even two taels of silver, or even two copper coins are unavailable, mostly because they didn’t need worldly wealth in their daily lives.
“Little God cannot be compared with the Land God of the town, 1 am merely wild mountain…’1
“I’m ashamed, ashamed, Little God is also….11
This moment.
Xuanqing recalled something.
Last time he attended the scattered cultivator convention, that Pig Eight… no. Now he should still be called Zhu Ganglie, rhe reason he used worldly wealth for the Secret Book.
Could it be that he had known the result of the Journey to the West long ago, and started accumulating worldly wealth while still having a demon body to prepare for the future?
“Sir, why don’t Big Brother Black Bear and I go to rhe West for a trip, I heard that there’s a pig demon there with vast divine powers, who has a lot of worldly wealth.”
The words of Gentleman Bai She came from his ear.
Xuanqing came back to his senses, looking at the anxious expressions on rhe faces of the junior brothers, he immediately said: “Don’t be anxious!’1
“I may not have anything else, but as for worldly wealth, how much I need, I have!”
Having said that.
With a flicker of thought.
He took out the silver from his backpack.
He spent some of the initial three hundred taels exchanged from the glass cup, and the remaining six hundred taels from the hundred jin of silver used to purchase the Secret Book, add up to over eight hundred taels of silver!
“Black Wind Town Land God, you take these eight hundred taels of scattered silver for now, I entrust the task of setting up a Taoist temple to you.1‘
As Xuanqing waved his right hand.
He handed the eight hundred taels of silver to Black Wind Town s Land God.
Lastly.
He added, “1 will give you more gold and silver in a few days, do a good job. I won’t let you suffer a loss!”
Hearing these words.
Black Wind Town’s Land God was overjoyed, he hurriedly bowed, saying, “it’s enough, enough. We have all the required stone and wood for the construction of the Taoist temple, the main cost is the hiring of people and the forging of a golden body.”
The two demons and three little gods on the side also heaved a sigh of relief.
Xuanqing did not return to reality, but stayed in the Game World, communicating with Black Wind Town’s Land God about the details of the Taoist temple.
Such as where would be the best place for rhe location of the Taoist temple, or what style to build it into, layout arrangement, etc.
Two blossoms bloom, each on a branch.
On the other side.
The boundless ocean, under the scorching sun, steamed up a thick layer of fog.
Within this dim fog, one could vaguely see an island, and the bamboo forest on the island was filled with fog, the aura was extremely rich, like a fairyland.
The ocean is the Southern Sea, and the island is named Mount Luojia!
Apart from the bamboo forest on Mount Luojia, there was also a lotus pond, and in it stood a pavilion.
This moment.
There rose peals of Sanskrit chants from within the pavilion.
The lotus flowers in the pond swayed, blossoming and wilting in an instant.
Even more astonishing, a plump goldfish astonishingly leapt and circled over a lotus flower, its eyes utterly intoxicated.
Outside the bamboo grove.
Stood a robed child, with a topknot and clutching an iron stick, wearing a lotus-themed outfit.
“Mo Ke Jiedi, if you could stop pacing back and forth, you’re making my eyes dizzy.” The child blurted out in a bad mood.
“So urgent-”
A bald monk, wearing an open-chested robe, paced back and forth anxiously, occasionally pausing to gaze into the depths of the bamboo grove.
The monk was from the Five Elements Mountain located between two realms who came to give a report to Guanyin Bodhisattva about the peculiar situation at the mountain.
After arriving at Mount Luojia, he was stopped outside the bamboo grove by the Bodhisattva’s protector child.
“Muzha Protector, can we be a bit flexible? 1 have urgent matters.” Mo Ke Jiedi pleaded, his face filled with worry.
However.
Muzha chuckled lightly, “I know you’re in a hurry, but be patient. The Bodhisattva has ordered that she should not be disturbed when she is giving her sermon!”
Hearing this.
Mo Ke Jiedi grew even more distressed, and said: “But… if the Bodhisattva continues to sermonize, would be a great… ah… she’s stopped?”
Before he finished speaking.
The chant from within the bamboo grove had suddenly disappeared.
Noticing this.
Muzha smirked, couldn’t help but chuckle, “You, Jiedi, I told you to wait, didn’t believe me. See, the Bodhisattva has finished her sermon.”
Mo Ke Jiedi was overjoyed, quickly clasped his hands together: “Amitabha, Amitabha, Muzha Protector, 1 shall enter now.”
“Go, go!”
Muzha impatiently waved his hand, watching Mo Ke Jiedi rushing away, and mumbled quietly, “What a restless guy.”
Purple Bamboo Forest.
In the pavilion.
A woman of dignified and divine appearance, dressed in a white gauze dress, held a jade purifying bottle.
She pulled out a willow branch from the jade purifying bottle, sprinkled a droplet of water, and shot it towards the goldfish lying on the lotus leaf.
Afterwards.
She turned slowly to look at the bald monk kneeling on the ground, his chest bare.
“Mo Ke Jiedi, why such hurry?” Guanyin Bodhisattva spoke calmly.
“Respectful greetings, Bodhisattva!”
Mo Ke Jiedi clasped his hands together, kowtow to the Guanyin Bodhisattva, then began to speak: “Junior and my four brothers were tasked with overseeing the Five Elements Mountain…”
“The first Taoist starved himself to death, then another Taoist was… After we finished him, we discovered a fallen Immortal Official Document. The one we killed was a Daoist Immortal Officer!”
Hearing this.
Guanyin Bodhisattva slightly frowned.
“A peculiar Taoist starved himself to death, and another Daoist Immortal Officer you killed.”
“Strange, present the Immortal Official Document of the slain Daoist.”
“Uhm…”
Mo Ke Jiedi scratched his bald head, a sheepish expression on his face, “Honorable Bodhisattva, it’s gone. The Immortal Official Document somehow vanished in an instant!”
“Did you get a clear look at the Daoist Name on the document?”
“I… I did not get a good look, only saw that it was a Ninth-Rank Immortal Official from the Daoist order, subordinate to the Department of Thunder in the Heavenly Court’s Five Thunder Court, the Right Judge!”
Guanyin Bodhisattva took a deep breath.
She didn’t bother to ask further.
She closed her eyes directly, her right hand performing various mudras, performing her vast divine power to deduce what had transpired.
A moment later.
An expression of surprise emerged on Guanyin Bodhisattva’s face. She uttered a single word.
“Go!”
