Chapter 3900 A disastrous start
"...Your plastic surgery results are pretty good, aren't they?" [Tyrannosaurus] reached out and pinched his cheek, exclaiming in surprise, "But looking at it up close, I realize this damn Buddha's face is actually quite fake!"
Di Qinglong said irritably, "Pay attention to social distancing."
Tyrannosaurus Rex shrugged... After creating some distance, he casually picked up the crystal box containing the original Three Buddhas, examining it as if it were some kind of insect, "And then? What are you planning to do next?"
"Yes, Zhu Guo, will you ever turn back into your original form?"... This was the question from the mentally challenged Bai Long.
"Old Zhu, you are now in the form of the [Three Incarnations of the Buddha], is that alright?" This was Sun Lanbao.
Di Qinglong looked at Sun Lanbao and said, "These masters' skills should be reliable... but the key is that just looking at them isn't enough. The longer they simulate the [Three Buddhas], the more flaws they'll reveal. However, it should be enough to save people... You all stand aside for now."
[Tyrannosaurus] nodded to the two guys from [The Traveler's Group].
At this moment, Master Wang and the others seemed to have completely ignored the mentally challenged Bai Long's shout of "Vermilion Fruit," and squatted by the side, utterly dejected.
They can't go back; they can only go down a dark path.
"Come in!" Di Qinglong sat directly on the golden silk cushion and called out in the voice of the "Three Buddhas' Son".
So, under the terrified gazes of the masters, the bald men in white robes strode in—when they saw the [Three Buddhas], they were all stunned for a moment, but they didn't seem particularly surprised.
Although what we see before us is the transformed state of Buddha-sama—but it is normal precisely because it is in a transformed state, because Buddha-sama rarely de-transforms (or removes) his makeup, even when he is sleeping!
"Congratulations, Your Excellency Buddha!"
The people in white robes offered their congratulations one after another... Most of them were genuinely congratulating him, as long as this "stunning beauty" could be restored, no matter what method was used, the Buddha's emotions would be able to stabilize.
"Hmm... These masters have worked tirelessly and made great contributions, and I am very pleased!" Di Qinglong said calmly, "Reward these masters well! Let them go back and reunite with their families!"
“Yes…” the bald men in white robes responded in unison.
After all, a master of exorcism truly holds a prestigious position in the martial arts world... Although killing the Buddhist disciple would be acceptable, it's always better to spare him.
Master Wang and the others tried their best to suppress their excitement and looked at the fake Buddhist disciple with gratitude... Regardless of who the other party really was, at least he kept his promise.
That was done perfectly!
However, after this incident, they will probably have to live under assumed names and change their identities.
"We'll take our leave..."
After Master Wang and the others left, Di Qinglong walked to the mirror and slowly examined the fake skin of [Three-Life Buddha].
He deduced from the objects placed in the room that the [Three Buddhas] was probably someone who liked to look in the mirror—but seeing the bald men in white robes around him looking at it as if it were nothing unusual, Old Di thought that his deduction was probably accurate.
"By the way, bring those guys from the [Traveler's Creed] up here. This Buddhist disciple wants to meet them," Di Qinglong suddenly said as he touched his jawline.
The bald men quickly replied, "Yes, we'll bring Sun Lanbao, Sha Toutuo, and that strange old man over right away!"
Di Qinglong frowned. "Wait, where is Xuanzang?"
“Master Xuanzang…” The bald men exchanged glances and immediately knelt on the ground in panic. “I’m sorry, Master Buddha, Master Xuanzang… he… actually, he was just taken away by the nuns of the Venerable Avalokiteshvara.”
"What?!" Di Qinglong turned around abruptly, genuinely shocked. "Why didn't you stop them?!"
The bald men in white robes dared not raise their heads, fearing that a single glance from the Buddha's disciple would cost them their lives. "It's really...it's really...Venerable One, she...we..."
"Useless!!" Di Qinglong cursed loudly.
The bald men in white robes could only tremble in fear... This was a major work accident, and the Buddha only scolded them once, which was considered extremely merciful!
"Never mind, since it's [Avalokitesvara]... I can't blame you." Di Qinglong sighed, sat back on the golden silk cushion, and seemed to be deep in thought.
The bald men in white robes remained kneeling, too afraid to raise their heads.
"Bring those guys up first."
"Yes……"
……
……
[Explanation of the City]... In a quiet courtyard within the palace where the Venerable Avalokiteshvara stayed.
Bald...but very well-proportioned nuns are leading Avalokiteshvara through the crowd.
"Your Excellency...Master Xuanzang is inside the room."
[Guanyin] nodded slightly. She did not go in immediately, but stood outside the house with great interest, listening to the sound of the wooden fish being struck coming from inside the room.
This was accompanied by the sound of some people quietly reciting scriptures.
"When did Xuanzang start liking to do homework..." A look of surprise appeared on Guanzizai's face. In her impression, Xuanzang hated these things.
He believed that all the scriptures circulating in the Central Lingshan were lies fabricated to control the common people, and therefore he loathed them.
"It's actually the Heart Sutra of Guanyin." Guanzizai suddenly chuckled, then waved his hand and said, "You all wait here."
"Yes……"
Then, Avalokiteshvara walked alone into the house in front... and saw Xuanzang, who had been invited from the Three Buddhas.
No matter how many times I watch it, I always feel that Xuanzang was a truly amazing guy... unlike the technologically advanced and ruthlessly crafted creations of the Three Buddhas.
—Her natural beauty is truly enviable.
"Xuanzang, it's been a long time."
Xuanzang, who was striking a wooden fish and chanting the Heart Sutra, suddenly stopped and slowly opened his eyes. His gaze was clear, so clear that it seemed to see through everything.
Then the handsome young man revealed an extremely attractive smile, "Well done, it's good to meet you today. I think there must have been something between us before. I've gained some weight recently, and Sister Guanyin... doesn't seem to be as pretty as before."
[Guanzizai] tilted his head slightly, "You've been out having a wild time, and you seem to have become even more humorous... It seems that the people in the [Traveler's Guild] really brought you a lot of fun."
“Excellent, excellent.” The bald, handsome man put his hands together. “Along the way, the scenery along the way, the heartfelt and physical bond between master and disciple, we are already inseparable. How joyful, how joyful.”
Avalokitesvara suddenly sighed, shook his head, and said, "I know you're pretending to be stupid, but if you insist on doing so, I can't say anything... I invited you here today just to ask you on behalf of Lord Gautama, when do you plan to return?"
The bald, handsome guy blinked.
Avalokiteshvara said calmly, "Xuanzang, you are the sole heir of the Central Vulture Peak, and there are certain responsibilities you must shoulder. Moreover, these things are what you were born with, and you cannot simply give them up as you wish."
The bald, handsome guy remained silent.
[Guanyin] is not in a hurry at this moment, and is patiently waiting for the answer.
Finally, the handsome young man relented and asked, "Is there any true scripture there?"
"It's this again!" Guanzizai frowned slightly and said, "Why are you so stubborn? Whether it's a true scripture or a false scripture, as long as people like it and are willing to believe it, then it's good! Stop making this ridiculous insistence!"
The handsome young man stared blankly at Guanyin, then suddenly sighed, "You... are not the Guanyin I know anymore."
[Guanyin]'s furrowed brows relaxed slightly, and her gaze softened... Her voice carried an unusual rhythm as she softly said, "Xuanzang, you should know... I am the Master's Buddhist companion, between you and me..."
The bald, handsome young man suddenly seemed surprised, "Huh, is this kind of relationship between you two? I don't think this part was in the script you gave me, Benefactor Wen?"
"What Benefactor Wen?" Guanzizai asked subconsciously, frowning.
The bald, handsome man shook his head and sighed, "It's nothing... In short, you're no longer the one I cherish in my heart. Alas... how can one have it all?"
“Xuanzang, you…” Guanzizai said softly, “Actually, as long as you are willing to inherit the Central Lingshan, I… can also be yours.”
“No, no, even if it’s a threesome…” The bald, handsome man shook his head. “This humble monk would never betray the bond between us, master and disciples! This benefactor, you should go back. This humble monk has not yet finished his homework for today.”
After saying that, the bald, handsome young man closed his eyes again and began to strike the wooden fish.
Guanyin snorted coldly and sneered, "You're even reciting the Guanyin Sutra! How laughable! It seems that going out to play has really messed up your brain!"
The bald, handsome guy didn't respond.
[Guanzizai]'s gaze turned completely cold. "If you like chanting scriptures, then keep chanting here! Today, I will deliver the rest of the [Traveler's Guild] from suffering! Without those karmic burdens, you should be able to wake up and realize that [Central Vulture Peak] is the most suitable place for you."
[Guanyin] simply waved his sleeve and left.
When she came out, the nuns waiting outside could clearly feel that the Venerable One's aura was somewhat somber.
"Is the execution ground ready?" After walking for a while, Guan Zizai suddenly stopped and asked.
"Your Excellency, everything is arranged. We are just waiting for Your Highness to escort the members of the 'Traveling Troops' in." A very beautiful nun said softly, "Should we send someone to 'remind' them?"
Guanzizai pondered, "Of the [Traveler's Guild], shouldn't all that's left be the Vermilion Fruit and that mechanical horse? Has there been any activity within [Shiyi City]?"
“There’s been no movement for now.” The beautiful nun thought for a moment and said, “Zhu Guo is not known for his martial prowess, and as for that white dragon horse… it’s even less of a threat. The [Traveler’s Crew] only has the two of them left, so I’m afraid they won’t actually show up.”
[Guanzizai] glanced casually at the nun, and just as he was about to speak, his gaze shifted slightly.
Suddenly, a light cicada chirping sound came from a large tree outside the palace wall... [Guanyin]'s pupils narrowed slightly in an instant.
I looked in that direction.
Amidst the shadows of the trees, a golden cicada could be vaguely seen trembling.
"Golden Cicada... How could this be?" She subconsciously looked towards where the bald, handsome guy was.
……
……
……
……
The Void... [Mythological Side], [Void Spirit Mountain] Realm—[Canaan] World.
The spiritual light spread to every corner of this world... This is a world of great Buddhist prosperity, a feudal world of high martial arts resembling ancient times.
Today, in the sacred site of the Canaan world, within the Supreme Mahayana Thunder Sound Temple, the bells toll, and the relics accumulated on the pagoda over the years tremble.
All the monks practicing in the temple were alarmed.
"Host, what... what's going on?"
"I'm afraid a supreme Buddha is about to descend..." The old abbot gently closed his eyes. "This is a blessing for us, a blessing for the world! I have a feeling that the supreme Buddha will soon visit our temple. Quickly make some preparations!"
"Good!"
……
"This is Canaan... The scenery is quite nice. You guys in Void Spirit Mountain are quite adept at managing small worlds."
Above the clouds of the world, two figures stood—one of whom was none other than the ancient Buddha Dipankara of the Void Spirit Mountain.
As for the other one, he is a handsome young man... the master of the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace, the Jade Emperor, whose name has many characters!
Of course, this is just one of the dharma bodies that the Jade Emperor uses more often.
As the master of the Heavenly Court and Heavenly Palace, he certainly couldn't enter the territory of the Void Spirit Mountain alone... The only thing he couldn't let his guard down was this group of bald men from the Void Spirit Mountain!
The ancient Buddha Dipankara smiled slightly: "The Heavenly Court has many small worlds that can rival Canaan. The Jade Emperor is being modest... Putting aside other things, the Azure that was exchanged with Canaan back then must be quite impressive now."
—【Azure】...
A strange look flashed in the Jade Emperor's eyes. He avoided the question and asked, "Ancient Buddha, how do you plan to arrange this place?"
—I can't be the only one who loses [Azure]!
—You [Void Spirit Mountain] should also give up the [Canaan] world to [Shop] for me!
The ancient Buddha Dipankara smiled slightly and said, "After this humble monk and a few others worked together to deduce the truth, we have finally found some clues. The 'Journey to the West in the Void' promoted by the 'Shop' this time, the 'Three Burials'... actually originated from this 'Canaan' world."
"Is this really true?" The Jade Emperor was slightly surprised.
Ran Deng said, "This matter involves many coincidences. The Three Burials in Canaan already had a cause and effect, but due to various circumstances... It is not convenient to say more about this matter."
The Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said, "Now that you know the origin of the Three Burials, how do you plan to arrange it?"
Ran Deng said, “Since the Shop has chosen the Three Burials as the main theme, in keeping with the Shop’s consistent style… then the Canaan world will inevitably be the starting point or the end point of the Three Burials. Therefore, we have jointly designed two different plans. Regardless of which plan we choose, Your Majesty and I will need to work together to first bring the Canaan world into the control of the Heavenly Kingdom.”
"Hmm..." The Jade Emperor thought for a moment and said, "Since the Three Burials originated from here, given the style of the Shop, using the original ingredients... the chances are indeed very high. However, you really dared to hand over the Canaan world to the Kingdom of Heaven?"
"To take, one must first give," said Ran Deng calmly. "The true scriptures are obtained in this way."
The Jade Emperor couldn't help but sneer inwardly... However, this plan was indeed exciting—perhaps the balance of power among the three giants on the mythological side would undergo some subtle changes and be broken because of this?
"Then let's get started." The Jade Emperor said directly, "Send Canaan away first, so I can begin making arrangements... Delay could lead to unforeseen changes."
"So good!"
……
As a result, the entire world of Canaan was gripped by a terrifying tremor... as if the end of the world had arrived!
The Supreme Mahayana Thunder Sound Temple in the Canaan world, which had been excited at the beginning, remained excited... and terrified!
"What happened..." The old abbot slumped to the ground in disbelief... The stars in the world had all shifted and become completely unfamiliar!
……
The movement of an entire small world requires an immense amount of power, like an abyss... If everyone wasn't a fourth-level being, they probably wouldn't have been able to withstand it!
After all, this involves not only the consumption of power, but also some rules of the void—and the key is to do this secretly, so as not to let the [Heavenly Kingdom] side find out.
"The Heavenly Kingdom's expeditionary force left this area not long ago." Randeng pointed to the dim starry sky. "Do you see that dead star? That world is restarting, and the expeditionary force shouldn't return for a long time. Canaan is safe here for the time being."
The Jade Emperor nodded slightly and said, "It seems that the Ancient Buddha has a very accurate grasp of the Heavenly Kingdom's movements."
"I suppose the Jade Emperor is no less capable," the ancient Buddha smiled slightly.
After they finished moving the items, they were about to leave quietly... but at that moment, a strange fluctuation suddenly came from the surrounding space.
The expressions of the ancient Buddha and the Jade Emperor changed slightly.
Holy light, like an inverted Milky Way, stretched out a path to heaven—and on that path, a six-winged figure of light rapidly converged.
It exudes an aura that is in no way inferior to that of the ancient Buddha and the Jade Emperor's Dharma body... and is even more powerful because it is located within the Heavenly Kingdom.
The Jade Emperor's expression darkened slightly. "Michael..."
The six-winged figure slowly spoke, saying, "[Jade Emperor]...and you hypocritical fellows from [Void Spirit Mountain], do you intend to break the agreement between the three parties?"
The ancient Buddha and the Jade Emperor exchanged a glance but remained silent... However, the sudden appearance of the Heavenly Master Angel clearly indicated that this was not a coincidence.
Michael's voice rang out again, full of mockery, "I suppose neither of you will answer, but it doesn't matter. The Kingdom of Heaven doesn't intend to pursue your transgressions this time... After all, you two have given me such a great gift."
"What?" The Jade Emperor frowned instinctively.
Michael said leisurely, "Isn't a golden world a great gift... the world of Canaan, right? On behalf of my lord, I gladly accept it."
Something's fishy!
Dipankara Buddha and the Jade Emperor's Dharma Body exchanged a quick glance.
Michael, however, delivered the fatal blow with a smile, "No way, you two don't know? The [Shop]'s [Void Journey to the West] project has already provided a preview... It's set in a primordial world existing within the third node's secret realm, called [Kasyapa]..."
The Buddha Dipankara and the Jade Emperor fell into a deep silence.
Michael simply smiled without saying a word.
[Jade Emperor]: Holy crap... Why didn't Ziwei tell me?! Luckily, the ones who suffered the most were those bald guys from [Void Spirit Mountain]! I was just bewitched; it's a traditional skill of the bald guys! Those who know, know; don't blame me!
Ran Deng: Damn it, you shouldn't have missed the auction... What's the point of saving face?! What's the point of saving face for the bald guy?! This was so careless... This was clearly a setup by the [shop]!
Michael: [Raguel] did a really good job this time. It seems sending this doormat to see [Joan of Arc] was somewhat useful after all...
……
……
……
……
003, [Qilin City]...In a hotel, in a luxury suite.
Sitting on a small stool, Taibai Jinxing suddenly took out the Spirit Mirror used for communication with the Heavenly Court. "...Your Majesty, why can't I use the Spirit Mirror?"
"...No rush, let's finish reading the preview first!" [Emperor Ziwei] said calmly, "Anyway, it hasn't officially started yet, so informing His Majesty now won't do any good."
—Damn it, this crappy place charges for sending a text message… Do you think I'd let you brag to the Jade Emperor like that?!
Save money wherever you can!
"really……"
Venus nodded, then stretched out its claws and picked up a plate of white jade melon seeds from next to Zhenwu, quietly becoming a spectator.
"But then again, the relationships within the Central Spiritual Mountain of this [Kasyapa] world are so chaotic... I wonder how those bald men of the [Void Spiritual Mountain] will thank me when they find out..." Venus muttered to himself.
Zhenwu frowned and said, "I feel that this Kasyapa world... is far more than this. It's already rare for a small world to be born in a secret realm, and this is actually a golden world!"
