This moment!
Looking at the City God, who was bowing deeply.
Xuanqing did not respond, but asked again, “City God, I wonder if you can use that technique again?”
“Sigh, as long as there is sufficient power of incense fire, or the innate merit of guiding reincarnation can all be done, but now that I’m about to dissipate… 1 have no way!” exclaimed the City God mournfully.
“In that case, I’ll lend you a hand!”
Xuanqing said blandly, “Although 1 am not sure whether I can get rid of the Guanyin Zen Temple, it is easy for me to ensure your safety as the City God.” With a slight uncertainty in his voice, he asked, “Is… Is this for real? Do you know who that is? The famous Guanyin Bodhisattva?”
“Hehe!”
Xuanqing chuckled lightly.
He didn’t explain, but with a wave of his right hand, he took out the Gathering Qi Bead containing the power of incense fire from his game backpack.
Gathering Qi Bead?
The City God’s eyes widened as he felt the thick power of incense fire inside. His shock was beyond words.
It’s clear that Xuanqing, as the new Left Judge of the Five Thunder Court, and even in a place like Black Wind Town, how could he have so much incense fire?
However.
Those are not the points, the important thing is that it seems… he is saved!
“Are you willing to give this power of incense fire to me?”
Exclaimed the City God excitedly.
“Since you gathered the Qi of the Netherworld to help me improve my cultivation, I’ll give you this incense fire as a token of my gratitude.”
When he finished speaking.
Xuanqing tossed the Gathering Qi Bead in his hand over.
“Ah!”
The City God hurriedly caught it.
Even though he knew this Gathering Qi Bead couldn’t be so frail, faced with something that concerned his own life, he still unconsciously reacted this way. “Daoist friend Xuanqing, with this power of incense fire, 1 feel 1 can live for at least a hundred years,” the City God said, full of vitality.
Immediately after.
He heard the City God say, “There’s a way to deal with the Guanyin Zen Temple.”
“Oh? What’s the plan?” asked a curious Xuanqing.
“Humph-” The City God squinted his eyes, lightly stroking his beard, and spoke leisurely, “In the Guanyin Zen Temple, the Elder Jinchi possesses some skills and specializes in bewitching people’s minds.”
“But even so, it can’t change the fact that he is a mortal. My ‘Book of Life and Death’ records clearly that in another 6o years, he will die a natural death.” “Therefore, I plan to…”
“So, you plan to wait for others to die of old age?” Xuanqing frowned slightly, somewhat displeased. “1 thought the City God had a good plan, but it turns out to be like this., it’s a bit of a shame. You’re hardly a standard Seventh Rank Yin God City God.”
“Enough, let’s stop talking about the Guanyin Zen Temple. 1 have my own plans.”
Xuanqing waved his hand, stopping the City God who was about to speak again.
In reality.
He clearly understood what the City God was thinking. He claimed to fear Elder Jinchi, but he was actually worried about retaliation from Guanyin.
However.
For him, a cultivator with unlimited resurrection and no losses, it doesn’t matter if it is Guanyin Bodhisattva, or even the Tathagata Buddha himself, he won’t flinch.
In this Game World.
Probably only the Three Pure Ones would be respected by Xuanqing. As he is a Taoist himself, naturally he would have to respect the founders of Taoism.
He didn’t react to the City God’s pitiful plea before because his heart is set on pursuing the Great Dao and he didn’t want to get involved in these trivial matters.
“Speaking of it, I’ve had dealings with that Guanyin Bodhisattva, but it was an unfortunate one.” Xuanqing said pensively.
“An unfortunate one?”
The City God was slightly startled, and didn’t quite believe it in his heart.
Who is Guanyin Bodhisattva?
Her great compassion and mercy are hailed across the Three Realms, and her cultivation level reaches the heavens and pierces the earth, making her top-tier even within Buddhism.
In this context, although being a Standard Ninth Grade Daoist Immortal Official is pretty good, compared to Guanyin Bodhisattva, it’s like the difference between heaven and earth.
Noticing the expression of the City God.
Xuanqing doesn’t mind, nor does he feel the need to explain anything.
The reason why he saved the City God was not only because he felt that he was somewhat of a Daoist god, but also because this Land of Darkness could help his soul cultivation.
The City God awkwardly smiled, then he opened his mouth and said:
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing, your soul power has suddenly increased. Why not consolidate it here in the City God Temple, what do you think?”
Upon hearing this.
Xuanqing closed his eyes, feeling the state of his soul.
Indeed, as the City God had said, because it had been abruptly upgraded too much, it was somewhat bloated and needed to be digested properly.
“Sure, 1 will solidify it here.” Xuanqing nodded.
Then.
As if he suddenly remembered something, he said, “By the way, there is another matter I want to consult with the City God.”
“Oh? Please do tell, Daoist Friend.”
Xuanqing collected his thoughts, then asked, “When I first came to Black Wind Town, 1 tried to save an old lady, but the Earth God told me the old lady’s lifespan had already run out….”
“However, according to my observation, when that old lady encountered me, there was a hint of life in her destiny. It was entirely possible to save her. I wonder why…”
Upon hearing this.
The City God fell into deep thought.
“The old woman you mentioned, 1 believe it’s someone who I helped pass on a year ago.”
“To be honest, that Earth God didn’t really deceive you, he just withheld some information.”
Upon hearing these words.
Xuanqing was even more puzzled.
The City God stood up, his hands behind his back, and looked out at the grey sky outside the hall, “All living things in the world have their destined lifespan, no doubt about it.”
“But as a Daoist Immortal Official, even if you forcibly saved her, there won’t be any consequences, nor will there be any ‘Yama commanding death untimely’.” “The Earth God hindered you, probably because he didn’t want his kin to be sent to the Westernmost Land, that’s why he chose to withhold some information.”
At this moment.
Xuanqing finally realized.
Looking at the state of this City God, if he hadn’t guided the old woman’s soul, he probably would have vanished into thin air by now.
Once the Netherworld City God is gone from Black Wind Town, the townspeople, upon death, would have no choice but to be guided by monks to the Western Paradise.
At that time.
Even if the old woman was saved by him, her life would eventually come to an end, and she would ultimately be guided by the monks.
“Daoist Friend Xuanqing, were you planning to save that old woman because you wanted to earn some Human Merit?” The City God asked tentatively.
Xuanqing nodded.
After this length of time.
Ever since he saved Yang Ying and obtained some Human Merit, he had not come across any Human Merit after that.
“If you’re expecting to earn Human Merit, I’m afraid you’re going about it the wrong way.”
“Can you explain?”
Xuanqing was intrigued.
Ever since he entered the Journey to the West World,
he’s been feeling his way through every situation. The people around him are either low-level immortals like the Earth God or independent cultivators like the two demons.
The highest-ranking person he has met was the Guanyin, and they were in a confrontational relationship.
Now that he’s met a ‘City God’, an old experienced hand, he can finally get a clearer understanding.
PS: I’ve added some settings, filling in the gaps from before. Rest assured, dear readers, I’ll try to avoid dialogue-heavy plot explanations in the future.
