Tianjiu's figure floated, and after a few breaths, he forcibly broke through the power of several laws that were attached to his body. Just when he was about to dodge and fly up, he suddenly fell on a rock.
The moon is shining brightly, the stars are shining brightly, frogs are croaking all around, and cicadas and birds are chirping in the low shrubs. From far away, bursts of Buddha's voice are heard, rendering this world harmonious and peaceful.
.
"Mother-in-law, the Immortal King is amazing! I'll dig you up!" Tianjiu sat up, pointed at the sky and roared. Unfortunately, there was nothing in the sky except the moon and stars.
"Amitabha! The benefactor's stars fell from the sky at night and scared away the old monk's fish!" A Buddhist message came from under the rock.
"Huh?"
Tianjiu turned around in shock and saw a pond of one hundred feet below. Lotus leaves were dancing in the pond. A three-foot pavilion protruded from the north side of the pond. On the pavilion, a great monk in black robes sat cross-legged.
He has thick eyebrows and big eyes, ears like wheels, a huge golden mole between his eyebrows, and a fluttering white beard under his big rosy face. He has an aura of power hidden on his body, and he seems to be a great immortal, or a holy immortal. The great monk
He was holding a slender fishing rod in both hands, as if he was fishing for something in the night.
"Hi! Master, if you don't go back to the temple to meditate in the middle of the night, what are you going to catch?" Tianjiu ducked down, landed on the edge of the pond, and waved softly.
"The temple is so noisy that it is useless to meditate. I can only hear the sound of cicadas but not the meaning of the cicadas. It's annoying!"
"Ouch, Master, you have a restless mind, have miscellaneous desires, and easily get angry. It is indeed not suitable for chanting. What are you fishing for? Is it time for the fish in the pond to sleep?" Tianjiu said with a smile, and walked to the monk.
Next to him, he sat down cross-legged.
The great monk turned his head and glanced at Tianjiu, then looked back at the fishing rod in his hand: "You can fish for anything. In this lotus pond, there are two sixth-order male and female fairy dragons, nine-headed third-order white crocodiles, and hundreds of first-order cicada frogs.
, and there are thousands of spirit carps swimming around. At dusk, I am determined to catch a sixth-order fairy dragon. When the dragon rises, I will pray for the people;
It was raining; midnight was coming, and I was hoping for a cicada frog. When the frog came ashore, it would return to the Zen platform to teach the Dharma; alas, when dawn was approaching, even the spirit carp abandoned me, which shows that God's will is playing tricks on people."
"Oh, according to your opinion, the higher-level things you catch, the better and wider the benefits will be?"
"That's right! This is the rule I set for myself."
"What if you can't catch anything tonight?" Tian Jiu asked with a smile.
"Then I'll bury this lotus pond and never fish again!"
"Yeah! That makes sense! Did the master lay the bait?" Tianjiu narrowed his eyes.
"Of course! This is not my first time fishing."
"Oh?! It seems that your bait is not working well. The fish is tired of eating and crooked. How can you catch it?!" After Tianjiu finished speaking, he touched his hand and found an extra piece of black meat. He picked it out casually.
The block flew into the pond and accurately hung on the fishhook.
"This...?" The great monk was about to speak, his thick eyebrows furrowed. He saw a black shadow shooting towards him, the shadow paused, and a masked saint in black robe appeared.
"big……"
"How presumptuous! Didn't I warn you not to disturb me when the weather is unclear?" the great monk snorted coldly.
The black-robed saint was stunned for a moment, glanced at Tianjiu, and answered with clasped fists: "Master... Master! It was the old man who asked the master if he had caught a fish? If he caught one, should he kill it or release it?"
"Tell the old man that he will have the answer before he leaves." The great monk replied coldly.
"But the old man said that the sound of cicadas was too noisy and kept him awake at night, so he asked the master what his magic method is?" the black-robed saint asked again, cupping his fists.
The great monk's thick eyebrows were furrowed, with a slightly unhappy look on his face. After thinking for a few moments, he turned to look at Tianjiu: "How can I solve this problem when the little donor usually can't sleep?"
"Ahem! Well, it's easy! If you can't sleep, don't sleep. Find someone who can sing and listen to the music. It will refresh your body and mind, and you will feel refreshed the next day." Tianjiu replied with a smile.
"Listen to music?"
"That's right! The louder the song, the better!" After Tianjiu finished speaking, he transmitted a message to the great monk.
"Amitabha! I've realized it!" The great monk suddenly realized it and sent a message to the black-robed saint who stood solemnly.
"Yes! Master, please fish slowly!" After the black-robed saint finished speaking, he ducked and flew away.
※※
"From what I heard, I was kicked down by someone?" The great monk looked at the pond again and spoke.
"Oh, don't mention it! A lady who is in the realm of the Immortal King, tsk tsk, her figure and face really make the boy want to stop, but he couldn't get it in his mouth for a long time, and he got kicked by her in vain." Tianjiu grinned.
"Hahaha! I'm just a saint, but I just want to eat the Immortal King. I have a big appetite, but unfortunately my belly is small. I just got kicked, so I'm lucky."
"Hey! I'm new here! Master, where is this place?"
"Outskirts of the Holy Palace, Donghuang Temple!"
"Dong...huang, oh, this is a treasure land! Is the master the abbot here?"
"Shh! Brother, a fish has indeed taken the bait!" The great monk pointed to the pond and whispered.
In the pond, the fish float tapped three times, then suddenly flew up, and a six-foot golden dragon emerged from the water.
The golden dragon opened its teeth and claws, and its eyes flashed with fierce light and terror. When the five claws passed by, the space collapsed, and several invisible clouds flowed around the body, disrupting the originally fragmented space and making it hazy.
After struggling for a few breaths, a blue firework about a foot long suddenly erupted from the dragon's mouth, as if it wanted to burn the golden fishing line in its mouth.
"Obstacle! You've already gotten up, are you still struggling needlessly?" The great monk pointed at the golden dragon and shouted.
The little golden dragon looked at the great monk with a look of endless pleading, and uttered a trembling voice: "Master, little dragon can't help but be greedy for a while, please let the little dragon go!"
"Hahaha! Once you are greedy, you should pay the price for your greed."
"If Master can release the little dragon, the little dragon will bring the female dragon with him to fish for you for the rest of his life!" the little golden dragon cried.
"Hmph! After catching your male dragon, the female dragon is still easy to catch. Just sit back and wait for death, otherwise I won't be polite!" The great monk said, freeing up a big hand and lightly snapping his fingers.
In the temple in the distance, several rays of black light shone before our eyes in the blink of an eye. Then, with a neighing sound, five miniature bald eagles soared above the pond. Each of the five eagles was less than a foot tall, and the largest one was only seven
inches long and short. They stared at the little golden dragon on the hook, with excitement on their fierce eagle faces.
"Go! Show the sixth-level fairy dragon to the old man, and tell him that there is a noble person to help him today, so that he can have a lot of fun." After the big monk finished speaking, he pointed out, and the little golden dragon whined and stopped struggling completely.
The smallest bald eagle opened a three-inch golden peck, gently picked up the golden dragon, flashed its black wings, and disappeared into the air. The remaining four eagles neighed in unison, and then disappeared without a trace.
"Brother, what treasure did you feed the fish just now? The sixth-level immortal dragon is more intelligent than the great immortal, and its power is even better than that of the holy immortal. I have been fishing here for decades and have never caught anything. Today
As soon as the little brother came, he waved his hand and came out, high, really high!" The great monk was in a good mood, put away the fishing rod, looked at Tianjiu and said with a smile.
"Master, thank you! Buddha pays attention to the word fate. It's not that the master can't catch it, but that the fate has not yet arrived. The bait is just a foreign object. It is meaningless to tell the master now."
"Oh? Why is this?" the great monk asked in confusion.
"Simple! You also said that the lowest level in the pond is a spiritual creature. The intelligence of psychic creatures is naturally extraordinary. Once they suffer a loss, they will never suffer again the second time. So if the master wants to catch another spirit
If there is something wrong, you must use another bait.”
"Amitabha! What I said hit the spot, and I was enlightened. Moreover, I seemed to have a deep understanding of the Buddha's thoughts, and the immortal body seemed to contain precious light. There was the light of the sun and the moon between my brows, and there was also a spring breeze. It seemed like a Buddha but not a Buddha. I thought
Let me ask you, where is this guy from and where is he going?"
"Ahem! Master, why didn't you mention what's on the boy's arm?" Tianjiu said with a squinted smile.
"Haha, little brother, there is only one streak of violent energy on my arm. Anyone in my generation has hundreds of such violent energy, especially my old man. Before I came to Donghuang Temple, I had tens of thousands of violent energy on my body, and to this day
"There are still several paths that have not been transformed. I only have one path. In my eyes, it is nothing more than a speck of dust on the Buddhist altar." The great monk said like a spring breeze.
Tianjiu stood up solemnly and saluted the great monk: "The little pigherder Tianjiu is temporarily appointed as the special envoy of Wanzhou Immortal Mansion. Now, under the orders of His Majesty the Eastern Emperor, he comes to the imperial court to see you. The master who can summon five eagles at one time should be Mo.
King Wei Mo Yi?"
"Amitabha! You can teach me! Tianjiu, Mo Wu mentioned you before, and I asked you, are you willing to join our Mo Wei camp?"
"This...Master, King Mo Wu has already asked this kid once." Tianjiu replied with a smile.
"Oh? How did you reply?" The great monk looked at Tianjiu with interest.
"The boy replied to King Mo. We will consider everything after meeting His Majesty Donghuang."
The great monk nodded slowly, thought for a moment, and asked with a smile: "Do you want to get a job at the old man's place?"
"Hahaha! Master is laughing. It is said that it is better to enjoy the shade under a big tree. Since you have to choose a big tree, of course it is the biggest one. You are also a towering tree, but..."
"Amitabha! Tianjiu, I want to ask you, do you think it is better to enjoy the shade under a big tree, or under two big trees at the same time?"
"Eh? Of course two!" Tianjiu couldn't help but laugh. (To be continued.)
