Chapter 552: Stop pretending, let’s show off

The questions asked by the Mother of Mount Li fully reflect the straightforward nature of the people of Jiejiao, who talk about things that are not related to the topic.

But it is normal for her to have such doubts. After all, no one would do such a loss-making business unless they are seriously ill.

In the early years of the Lishan Immortal Sect, the Lishan Old Mother and her five true disciples searched the three realms and four continents in order to revive the sect, specifically selecting female chicks that were "born from eggs in moisture, covered with fur and horns."

This kind of stone that gave birth to the spirit fetus of heaven and earth is not of much value in my mother's eyes. She would not even bother to pick it up when she passed by it.

The Zixuan Cave lineage of the Lishan Immortal Sect has several female disciples who were transformed from jade marrow. The most outstanding one among them is Bing Linglong, who was adopted by the Jinling Immortal Sect.

Compared with Bing Linglong, who is extremely smart, well-behaved, sensible and able to endure loneliness, the spirit fetus in the broken stone is simply the difference between a beast and a genius girl.

Guanyin Bodhisattva raised her eyelids, her smile was a little stiff, she silently recited the Heart Sutra in her heart, and said in a calm tone: "Monks should be compassionate. After all, there is life in this stubborn stone. Saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda..."

"Holy Mother, don't listen to her nonsense!"

Wen Rui interrupted mercilessly: "Everyone has their own preferences. Bodhisattva likes this type. The wilder and more unruly it is, the more it shows that their Western Buddhism has an infinite brainwashing ability. What's it to you?"

"They love to play with contrasts in the Western religions. They use the trick of putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha to fool ignorant sentient beings. They also turn it into a beautiful woman sacrificing her body to feed the devil, moving the devil to sing a love offering. It's so sour..."

"you!"

The Bodhisattva suppressed his anger, but because the Mother of Mount Li was present, he could only lower his eyes and recite the Heart Sutra, this time he recited it aloud.

"Don't be rude!"

Lishan Old Mother rebuked Wen Rui and said, "I need to listen to Bodhisattva Guanyin's own explanation to make sure I was not deceived in this exchange, so as to avoid confusion in the future."

Wen Rui quickly shut his mouth tactfully.

"Alas..." The Bodhisattva sighed and said, "Even though I am reluctant, I have no choice but to agree to Emperor Wen's request."

"Since both parties are willing, I, as the middleman, have witnessed the result of the exchange. If a dispute arises in the future and one party regrets it, I will stand up for the other party and seek justice."

The tone of Lishan Laomu was calm, but it contained the majesty of a great master. The question she asked just now was obviously to support Wen Rui.

Wen Rui just felt that all those years of being a bootlicker were not in vain.

The Bodhisattva reluctantly handed the jade bottle to the Mother of Lishan. Wen Rui patted his chest and took out the stubborn stone from his secret realm.

"Wait a minute, I have something else to say, and I need to make it clear in front of the Virgin Mary."

The Bodhisattva said, "This stone will eventually give rise to living things and develop self-awareness. Since Emperor Wen has handed it over to me, I am not allowed to have any evil thoughts about it or affect its thoughts in the future."

“Hey…ah this…”

Wen Rui's eyes darted around, never expecting that the Bodhisattva could see through his evil intentions. He really planned to secretly brainwash the monkey in the future, instilling some revolutionary ideas and dragon-slaying techniques into him, so that the Bodhisattva would end up with nothing. "This is what should be done. Now that it has been handed over, I have severed all karmic ties with this stone, and I will never have anything to do with it again."

Wen Rui could only nod his head solemnly and said, "But I won't provoke it. If it provokes me, what can I say?"

"I will make sure this never happens!"

The Bodhisattva stared at Wen Rui and spoke word by word, "Just remember, stay away from my jade spirit from now on. Don't let me catch you secretly flirting with it behind my back!"

"You make me sound like a thieving cat..."

Wen Rui muttered angrily, "Remember this, keep an eye on your spirit fetus and don't get into trouble. If you cause me trouble and I accidentally kill you, I won't compensate you!"

Sparks flew between their eyes. It was obvious that a feud had been formed, and there would definitely be a sequel to this cause and effect.

In the end, the Bodhisattva was more magnanimous and endured his rage. He rolled up the stubborn stone with his whisk, bid farewell to the Mother of Lishan, and walked away on the lotus platform.

After sending the Bodhisattva away, Wen Rui hurriedly rubbed his hands and approached the Mother of Mount Li, saying happily: "My Lady, please help me check if this bottle is genuine and if it has been tampered with."

Lishan Old Mother held the jade bottle in her hand, looked at it carefully for a while, and said, "What trick did you use, you little brat? This pure bottle is a treasure passed down by the Xianjiao lineage, and it is the support of the Bodhisattva to save the world. No matter what, it should not fall into the hands of a traitor like you."

"My Lady, look at what you said. The greatest treasures in the world belong to those who are virtuous. I am virtuous."

Wen Rui looked innocent and said, "Didn't the Dinghai Pearl of Master Zhao Gongming's great-grandfather and the Four Swords of Zhuxian of Master Tongtian all change hands because of their great virtue?"

Lishan Old Mother threw the Jade Purifying Bottle to Wen Rui in a bad mood and frowned, saying, "I am worried that you will not be able to enjoy the treasure even if you get it! Brother Duobao came to visit me some time ago and reminded me to discipline you. He almost couldn't help but teach you a lesson on behalf of your father and break a few of your legs to teach you a lesson."

"During this period of time, how come you have formed so many bad relationships with the Western Church? I want to protect you, but I don't have the energy to face the Buddhas directly."

Since the Mother of Lishan dared to throw the Jade Bottle over, it meant that it had been thoroughly checked by her. Wen Rui happily put it into the secret space.

After putting away the jade bottle, Wen Rui raised his head, put away his smile, and said seriously: "In the past, my strength was low and I could not take care of myself. Many of my words were regarded as jokes by my fellow disciples. I dared not tell the queen my true thoughts. Now that I have obtained this jade bottle, it is like the old thief Ran Deng obtaining the Dinghai Pearl. Although my Taoism is not yet fully developed, I have the capital to settle down and make a living."

"Although the time is not yet ripe, I cannot continue to hide my plan from you."

Wen Rui sat upright and said seriously, "My disciples want to completely isolate Western religions from the Southern Continent. We must not allow them to introduce Buddhism into the Central Plains. The descendants of China should not listen to those foreign monks chanting sutras!"

"To seize the fortune of the Western Religion, to establish Jie Religion as the righteous law of heaven and earth, and to seek a glimmer of hope for all living beings in the world, is the great wish I have made since the defeat of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation!"

"The dispute between the disciples and the Western religion has been exposed. It cannot be hidden or kept low-key. It is almost to the point of bloodshed."

Lishan Old Mother slowly shook her head, frowning, and said, "The secret of my Jiejiao's prosperity has not yet been revealed, and the time is far from coming. You are acting against the will of heaven... Why are you so impatient and impulsive! You, child, should have discussed it with me before making any plans!"
