Chapter 288 This evil creature even dared to plot against me, how dare you say he is a good person?
"It turns out that Bodhisattva also has a panicked side!" Cheng Long couldn't help laughing when he saw Zhenzhen disappearing out of thin air and her stunned look when she left.

The system is really awesome!
I made a lot of money this time!
With the Bodhisattva as his support, he will have the courage to face any danger no matter where he goes or what kind of danger he encounters.

You no longer have to worry about encountering someone you can’t beat and being forced to exit the show early and return to the world of Hong Kong variety shows.

"Zhenzhen has been called back by the Bodhisattva, and she will definitely not be back in a short time. Xiaobai and Xiaoqing are in seclusion again, so I have to find something for myself to do..." Cheng Long's mind moved, and a shiny black lotus seed appeared out of thin air in his palm.

The next moment, the sky above the dojo was covered with dark clouds, and a thunderstorm descended. It was as if a big hole had been broken in the sky, and endless darkness enveloped the earth. The wind was howling, thunder and lightning were intertwined, and the roar continued, shaking people's eardrums.

A terrifying feeling of palpitations came over me.

Cheng Long subconsciously put the black lotus seeds into the storage compartment.

"Boom!"

A bolt of thunder fell into the front yard of the dojo.

The front garden, which had just been built a few days ago, suddenly became riddled with holes.

Afterwards, the dark clouds that had quickly condensed dispersed strangely. The thunder disaster came quickly and went away quickly.

"It seems that this world is not working!"

Cheng Long originally wanted to take some time to cultivate the black lotus seeds, but he didn't expect that the Green Snake World could not accommodate this lotus seed, and it made the same stress response as the Heavenly Dao in the Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio world.

It was because he was full of merit, otherwise the lightning just now would have fallen on his head.

"The Green Snake and Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio dungeons are both mythological worlds with heaven and hell. Guanyin Bodhisattva has the cultivation of a Daluo Jinxian. How can there be no space for a tiny lotus seed?"

Cheng Long didn't understand this. Even if this lotus seed was the seed of the world-destroying black lotus, it shouldn't cause such a reaction, right?
Isn’t it a top-grade innate spiritual treasure of the same grade as the Golden Lotus of Merit, the Red Lotus of Karma, and the White Lotus of Purity?
As for that, it hasn’t even started to develop yet!

……

Putuo Mountain.

"What is this evil creature doing?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva noticed the movement from Cheng Long's side and couldn't help but frowned.

Although she has not yet clarified her identity and formally recognized the other party, the devil contract has been signed. When the heavenly punishment suddenly appeared above the dojo, it is impossible for her not to react at all.

"My Lord, was that a punishment from heaven?" Zhenzhen asked cautiously.

"Yes, that devil must have done something that angered God and man!" Guanyin Bodhisattva gritted her teeth and threw dirty water, obviously feeling aggrieved about being cheated.

However, Zhenzhen, the incarnation who had been with Cheng Long for half a year, didn't think so. "My Lord, although the young master is a demon cultivator from another world, he has never killed innocent people. He has been doing good deeds all his life. It is impossible for him to do something that would anger the gods and the people!"

"This bastard even dared to plot against me, how dare you say he is a good person?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva narrowed her eyes and stared straight at her incarnation. Before the incarnation returned to its original body, it actually had a certain degree of autonomous consciousness.

It was also because of this that Zhenzhen took the initiative to perform the bamboo forest childbirth scene that was supposed to be performed for Fahai to Cheng Long, indirectly setting herself up for trouble.

Zhenzhen smiled awkwardly and changed the subject: "My Lord, the heavenly punishment just now was not directed at you, young master. I vaguely sensed that the heavenly punishment was directed at a certain object..."

"Huh~~ You can already notice it, how could I not know it!"

Guanyin glared at Zhenzhen in displeasure and said dissatisfiedly: "I get a headache just by looking at you, come back!"

The Bodhisattva waved her hand, and her clone Zhenzhen immediately turned into a stream of light uncontrollably, was drawn into her body, and became one with her.

Without the incarnation of a deceitful person standing by to get in the way, Guanyin Bodhisattva's anger gradually calmed down, and she couldn't help but wonder, "What on earth did that evil creature take out? Why did it cause heaven's punishment?"

"You made such a big noise that the eyes of all the gods and Buddhas were drawn to you. If you hadn't done so many good deeds, you would probably not even know what was going on when you were about to die!"

Even she was tempted by the object that could make heaven and earth fear and want to destroy it, and other powerful beings were naturally no exception.

no doubt.

At this time, Taiqing Laozi, Western Heaven Buddha, Jade Emperor, Zhen Yuanzi and other top masters with great supernatural powers, as well as some powerful people like Guanyin Bodhisattva, all noticed Cheng Long.

Only because Cheng Long's merits are so numerous that people are astonished, no one dares to act recklessly.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Guanyin Bodhisattva to sit still.

……

Yaochi.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother were idle and were discussing the Tao as usual, but suddenly a heavenly punishment appeared on the earth, which attracted the attention of the two. However, when they sensed the appearance of a strange treasure that was not tolerated by heaven and earth, the treasure that contained a hint of destruction disappeared without a trace.

"Haotian Mirror!"

The Jade Emperor snapped his fingers and shot out a ray of fairy light, which transformed into a round mirror with a radius of more than one meter, floating in the air. It was the Haotian Mirror that could observe the sky above, explore the underworld, and trace the past.

This mirror is like a huge screen. As long as the Jade Emperor has a thought, any corner within the three realms of heaven, earth and man will appear on the screen.

Even back in time.

Under the manipulation of the Jade Emperor, the process of the formation of heavenly punishment is clearly visible.

However, when he and the Queen Mother's eyes fell on Cheng Long, they could only see a mist. They could only vaguely perceive that this person was a demon cultivator with raging demonic flames on his body, but no karma.

"Huh~~ He's actually a little devil. How come the green and white snakes live with him?" The Jade Emperor rules over the three realms and has heard a little about the love story between man and demon prepared by Buddhism.

Secondly, every time Buddhism causes trouble, it is trying to snatch the good fortune of the world and compete with Taoism.

The same is true of the love between Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen.

Bai Suzhen is a disciple of Lishan Laomu and a true Taoist disciple. However, because of the suggestion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, she went to West Lake to meet Xu Xian, wanting to repay his kindness and settle a cause and effect that happened a thousand years ago.

But he was taken to Leifeng Pagoda by the French Customs.

If the Taoist sect had not come to the rescue and arranged for Wenquxing to be reincarnated, pass the imperial examination and gain the title of No. 1 scholar, and use his power as the Emperor to force Fahai to release the people, the disciples of Lishan Laomu would have been converted to Buddhism.

Although Bai Suzhen in the Green Snake world and Xu Xian have no entanglement in past or present lives, they were able to transform early because of the help of the Buddhist beads. When Xiaobai later fell in love with Xu Xian, it was inevitable that there was no Buddhist master who secretly took action to interfere with the other party's will.

Otherwise, how could a thousand-year-old snake demon be so frivolous and careless as to fall in love with a mortal?

"Jade Emperor, this guy is not some little devil. His merits are greater than many immortals and the Buddha of the Western Heaven. He doesn't look that old, so how could he have such a huge amount of merits?"

It was the first time that the Queen Mother encountered such an amazing demon cultivator. Not only was his demon cultivation free from karma, his demon flames also exuded a righteous aura, and he had the merit of saving the world.

If someone else had even one percent, or even one thousandth, of Cheng Long's merits, he could ascend to heaven in broad daylight and become an immortal.

But they only discovered now that there is such a person in the world!
That’s outrageous!

"I have been practicing since I was young, and I have endured 1,750 calamities before I finally achieved the true fruit and sat on the throne of the Supreme of the Three Realms. How could he, a demon cultivator, have such a huge amount of merit?"

To be honest, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but be envious when he found a golden wheel of merit hidden behind Cheng Long's head. In addition to enhancing luck and protecting oneself, merit can also help people realize the truth and see their true nature. Cheng Long rarely went astray during his practice, and there were almost no major setbacks in his practice, which was precisely because of this.

This is also the main reason why he has been able to maintain his original heart and not be deceived by power after practicing the supreme magic skill such as the Killing Art for many years.

“It is impossible for merit to be accumulated in one person without any reason. Even if this person has been a good person for a hundred lifetimes, or even a thousand lifetimes, he cannot accumulate such a huge amount of merit.”

What the Queen Mother said is correct. Let alone hundreds or thousands of generations, there are very few people who are good in the world, even ten generations into the future.

Because every person's reincarnation and rebirth can be traced back to the underworld, a person who has done good deeds for eight lifetimes is qualified to enter the Immortal Pond and become a celestial soldier in heaven.

Unless there is someone with great supernatural powers who secretly erases all traces and helps this person achieve the right result.

“There is the aura of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva around him. Could he be the reincarnation of some great Buddhist master?” The Jade Emperor calculated with the help of his fingers. All the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas with golden wheels of merit in the Western Paradise of Buddhism were present. He could not be the reincarnation of a great Buddhist master.

The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother discussed for a long time, but could not figure out anything, so they finally gave up trying to figure out Cheng Long's whereabouts...

"Jade Emperor, although this man's origins are unknown, his merits are enough to make him a fairy. Why don't you and I grant him a fairy position and let him serve me?" Queen Mother Wang suggested.

"He is a demon cultivator with an unknown origin. If he is simply recruited into the Heavenly Court, there may be trouble."

"If we don't recruit them, won't that give the Buddhist sect an advantage?"

"Let me think about it..."

The Heavenly Court has always had a one-to-one position for each person, and it is already full now. A demon cultivator with great merit in saving the world cannot be given a petty official position.

But if he doesn't recruit him, the shameless bald donkey will find ways to convert this person and bring benefits to Buddhism for nothing.

"Announce Taibai Jinxing to enter the palace..."

Just as Cheng Long expected, as long as he had enough merits, even if he was a demon cultivator, the Heavenly Court and the Great Leiyin Temple, which represented the major forces of Buddhism and Taoism, would still rush to send people to recruit him.

Just as the Jade Emperor sent out Taibai Jinxing, Tathagata from the West also sent a Bodhisattva to the Purple Bamboo Forest.

This Bodhisattva is none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva, who is closest to Cheng Long.

……

Cheng Mansion, hall.

"Sister Guanyin, have some tea!"

Cheng Long poured a cup of freshly brewed West Lake Longjing tea and handed it to the stern-faced and unsmiling Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Playing tricks and making Zhenzhen sign the devil's contract can certainly make people get what they want, but when the master is weak and the servant is strong, respect is essential.

Yes, it’s respect, definitely not because of cowardice!
After all, anyone who has signed the contract will be destroyed and die if they dare to do anything against him.

"Master Cheng, you are really capable. You have even figured out what's going on with me."

Guanyin Bodhisattva stared at Cheng Long with a cold face and expressionless expression.

If it weren't for the strict restrictions in the contract, she would have wanted to kill this evildoer.

The devil's contract is more powerful than the golden hoop she gave to Tang Monk when she presided over the Journey to the West earlier. The golden hoop had to have Tang Monk chanting a spell to work, and for the contract to take effect, it only takes the slightest murderous thought towards the owner, and the owner will die.

So, facing the smiling Cheng Long at this moment, she was both angry and scared.

"Sister Guanyin, I am only doing this for my own safety. If you cannot swallow this, then just pretend that nothing happened. After all, as long as my life is not in danger, you will not be summoned. I can even promise you that as long as I am stronger than you in the future, I will give you your freedom."

Cheng Long could see that Guanyin Bodhisattva was very angry, but because of the devil's contract, he had to swallow his anger.

Before he saw the other party again, he thought about taking advantage of the opportunity to take down the other party, but now he thinks it’s better to forget it. A forced melon is not sweet, and there is no need to take advantage of others.

"Then how long do we have to wait?"

"Uh~~ maybe three to five years, maybe a hundred to eighty years, it's hard to tell, but it won't be more than a thousand or three thousand years, how about that?"

Cheng Long didn't know when he would be able to cultivate to the realm of Daluo Jinxian, but in his opinion, if he still couldn't cultivate to the realm of Daluo Jinxian after three thousand years, he would have stronger means of survival, so there was no need to force Guanyin Bodhisattva to stay.

"Okay, then I will protect you for three thousand years. During this period, I will do my best to help you achieve enlightenment. But you also have to promise me that you will give me my freedom immediately when the deadline is up."

For a great golden immortal like Guanyin Bodhisattva, nothing is more important than freedom. When she received the decree from Tathagata, she was already prepared for Cheng Long to ask for a huge sum of money.

Unexpectedly, this kid was quite tactful. He did not take the opportunity to ask for anything, but just wanted to keep him safe.

Although three thousand years is a long time, if she wanted, she could even go into seclusion for three thousand years at a time. This amount of time is not particularly excessive.

After talking about private matters.

The cold face of Guanyin Bodhisattva suddenly became warm.

"Mr. Cheng, the reason I came here this time, apart from discussing some personal matters with you, is mainly to receive the command from Tathagata Buddha. My Buddha wants to take you to the Western Paradise. As long as you are willing to join my Buddhist sect, I can grant you the status of a Bodhisattva." Guanyin Bodhisattva made the invitation in a very calm tone.

Because she didn't believe in her heart that Cheng Long would ever be converted.

It is impossible for a demon cultivator who likes beautiful women and eating meat to become a monk. Even if the Buddha promises him the status of a bodhisattva, it will be difficult to seduce him.

"Sister Guanyin, your incarnation Zhenzhen has been with me day and night for half a year, and should know my personality very well. I will not go to the Western Paradise unless you force me to convert. Otherwise, no matter what you say, I will not agree."

"I know, but I must hear your rejection with my own ears before I can go to the West to meet the Buddha."

"I reject."

Bodhisattva Guanyin stood up without hesitation, and then took out three jade pendants from his sleeves, saying: "Master Cheng, these three jade talismans contain three of my divine thoughts, each of which can block a blow from a Daluo Jinxian. Keep them."

"Thank you, Sister Guanyin."

"I am leaving."

Not long after Guanyin Bodhisattva left, a auspicious cloud floated over the sky.

Cheng Long took a closer look and found an old man with a white beard and a Taoist appearance standing in the clouds, with a thoughtful look in his eyes.

Sister Guanyin, who represented Buddhism, had just left when someone else from Heaven came. It was probably because the black lotus seeds triggered a heavenly punishment, causing him to enter the sight of all the gods and Buddhas.

"Young man, I am Taibai Jinxing. I am ordered by the Jade Emperor to invite you to heaven for a chat..." Taibai is a very kind old man. After landing, he was also very polite. He still bowed to Cheng Long, who had not yet become an immortal, to greet him.

Cheng Long smiled and said, "Do you have fairy wine and peaches?"

Taibai Jinxing was stunned at first, then smiled and said, "Not necessarily peaches, but fairy wine, fairy peaches...you can eat as much as you want."

"Wait a moment~~"
