Chapter 458 Life is not easy, Niu Niu sighs

"Grandmaster, I also understand the rules. It is only natural for a saint to not be involved in cause and effect."

Wen Rui said seriously, "I am not expecting you to personally participate by staying here. Since you are determined not to get involved in this matter, I ask you to make a promise not to help us or ruin our business. That's enough."

The Supreme Lord narrowed his eyes and said in confusion, "How ridiculous! You are judging a saint by your own standards. I am at such a high level that I cannot be so narrow-minded as to bully you grandchildren, right?"

He hadn't expected that Wen Rui would make such a strange request. He thought he would take this opportunity to steal more pills, or even one or two magic weapons.

I was prepared to bleed, and I dug out some broken and scrapped magic weapons from the trash can to get rid of Wen Rui, but I got this result.

Of course, even if a magic weapon is damaged by a saint, it can reach the level of acquired treasure and be regarded as the best of the best.

"It's hard to say. If a saint has no face, he will have no humanity anyway. He will treat everything as straw dogs. What disgusting things can he not do..."

Princess Longji, Fairy Jiangyun and Fairy Yueying were all stunned. Ever since they entered the Bajing Palace, everything that had happened had challenged their three perspectives time and again.

Taishang Laojun is the supreme Three Pure Ones. Even Long Ji, who has the highest status among the three fairies, dare not show the slightest disrespect in front of him.

Wen Rui, however, had no taboos and treated him as an ordinary old man with a white beard. He never stopped verbally offending him since he entered the door.

Long Ji also didn't understand what was so arrogant about Wen Rui. If she relied on the power of her father Wen Zhong, wouldn't her father, the Jade Emperor, have a higher status?

In front of Taoist Laojun, she could only be as quiet as a chicken and behave like a fairy with her tail between her legs. Why did the son of the Heavenly Lord dare to be so rampant?

Laojun couldn't stand it any longer. No matter how good-tempered he was, he couldn't stand being confronted by a junior. He said with a stern face, "Does your father know that you talk to me like this? Does your great master know? Do you believe me, I will go and complain to them and make them clean up the mess in front of me!"

"I'm so scared... I'm afraid I won't be able to handle the three glasses of wine and will have a hangover and a headache the next day."

Wen Rui said sarcastically, "It's useless to keep saying these things, as if you and my great master have a very good relationship. Didn't you break up with him when you beat him twice five hundred years ago? As for my father, at most he called me a rebellious son and forced me to admit my mistakes and apologize to you, and then he let the matter go. Do you think he is a coward like Li Jing who sold his son to beg for mercy?"

Taishang Laojun was speechless for a moment. He really had no idea what to do with this young man who kept making trouble for himself. He couldn't kill him, but beating him would be too humiliating. He was really an annoying person.

"If you dislike me and want to get rid of me quickly, just tell me straight away."

Wen Rui became impatient and urged, "Why, are you feeling guilty? You don't even dare to keep your promise. Are you really planning to trip us up and cause trouble?"

Laojun rubbed his temples, squeezed out the little patience he had left, and said: "I will not ruin your business, are you satisfied? It's inexplicable, I have no time to avoid you troublemakers, how can I have the leisure to have anything to do with you!"

"Words are not enough, just sign this agreement..."

Wen Rui took out a jade slip from his arms, but before he could hand it over, Laojun's sharp eyes swept over it, and the jade slip turned into nothingness.

Swallowing his saliva, Wen Rui witnessed up close the power of a saint's attack. A single glance could annihilate everything.

This look was obviously a warning, warning him that if he continued to force it, the jade slip that turned to ashes would be his fate.

"I am sorry for being presumptuous. The saint's words are golden and binding, and heaven and earth are witnesses. Why do we need to sign any agreement?" Wen Rui hurriedly apologized with a smile on his face, sweating, and signaled to the three fairies with his eyes to follow him quickly.

It is a good habit to know when to quit. Even if you are sure that Taishang Laojun cannot do anything to you, it is still better to be cautious and sensible.

The three fairies followed Wen Rui out of the Bajing Palace in a daze. They still didn't understand what Wen Rui meant by taking the huge risk of angering the saint and being stared to death, just to ask for a promise from Laojun.

When he arrived at the courtyard outside the Bajing Palace, Wen Rui did not go to the gate, but turned to the cowshed on the side.

In the cowshed, the blue cow was lying on a pile of straw, its eyes were unfocused, as if it was wandering in the sky, thinking blankly about its life.

"Tsk, tsk, there's not even a shed, it's too shabby, is this a place for people to stay? Oh, I forgot you're a cow."

After walking around the stunned Niu Niu, Wen Rui said, "Brother Niu, you have such skills that you are unrivaled even in the three realms. You don't want to go to the mortal world to make a name for yourself, but stay here and work like a slave. I really feel sorry for you."

"Stop talking nonsense!"

Qingniu came back to his senses and saw Wen Rui's contemptuous look. He couldn't help but speak in a human voice: "What do you know? I am the mount of the saint. I accompany the saint and listen to the saint's teachings. This kind of blessing cannot be obtained even if you immortals ask for it!"

"Ah, yes, yes..."

Wen Rui said with a smile: "It is much more glorious than being a mount for the Bodhisattvas. Otherwise, how could those wimps from Jiejiao who were caught by the Bodhisattvas to ride on sneak into the mortal world to occupy the mountains and act tyrannically? Their awareness is not as high as yours, brother."

The blue bull turned its head away, not wanting to pay attention to Wen Rui who was mocking it, but unable to resist its curiosity, it turned its head back and asked, "Is it true that the mounts of the Western Religious Bodhisattvas can secretly escape to the mortal world and live freely? Aren't they afraid of being caught and killed?"

"The timid ones will die of starvation, while the bold ones will die of gluttony. Even if they are caught, the compassionate Bodhisattva will not be willing to kill them."

Wen Rui said sarcastically, "Otherwise, when they participate in activities like the Peach Festival, the Ullambana Festival, and the Heavenly Peace Conference, what will they ride to show off their special qualities in front of the immortals and gods and gain face?"

Glancing at the blue ox, Wen Rui continued, "I'm wondering, what's the point of gods and bodhisattvas keeping mounts? If they need to hurry, the bodhisattvas can use their divine feet, and Laojun Daozun can use his Wanli Xianting. Isn't that much faster than riding a big lion, a big elephant, or a bull?"

"How about you, Brother Niu, share your own experience and help me solve my doubts. Do you think your work is meaningful?"

Qingniu lowered his head, and the light in his eyes seemed to dim a little.

"We gods at least have divine duties. We can shout slogans like 'caring for the people, regulating the laws of heaven, and bringing blessings to the world', which makes our existence seem meaningful."

Wen Rui continued to spread poisonous thoughts: "Brother Niu, you are a high-level cow and horse, the practical value is basically zero. Rather than being a means of transportation for a saint, it is better to be a pendant-like decoration. No matter how long you work, you will not be promoted. What is the purpose of living?"

"Stop talking! I just blocked your way a few times. It's not a big grudge, right? Do you have to come here to hurt me?"

The blue bull flew into a rage, its eyes red, and said angrily: "Don't I want to live a good life and do meaningful things? Even if I have a million ambitions in my heart and a thousand magical powers, I can't get out of this cattle pen that is several meters square!"
