In a beautiful valley, a group of Kun Taoists gathered in front of the Taoist temple, looking at the female Taoist priest in front of her with a long sword on her back.

A beautiful Kun Dao said with wet eyes, "Master, the Northern Region is different from our Western Region. You must take care when you go north."

The heroic woman in front smiled and said: "As a teacher, I was lucky enough to experience in the secret realm with the master. I have such a deep blessing, how could something happen? Don't worry! After the teacher leaves, the position of Taoist Temple Master will be passed on to me.

Zu Lan, Zu Lu, Zu Hong, you must go hand in hand with your senior sister..."

A girl with a little baby fat took two steps forward and responded respectfully: "Yes!" She said with firm eyes: "Disciples must work hard to carry forward the Taoist temple."

The other two girls also nodded and said, "We will definitely assist Senior Sister."

The girl nodded with satisfaction, and the long sword flew out with a clang from behind, spinning in the air and floating in the air.

The girl jumped up from the ground with a slight jump and landed on the flying sword in the sky. The flying sword instantly broke through the air.

…

The Taoist gates in the entire Western Region were agitated. This happened often. A sword light streaked across the sky and landed in the White Cloud Temple.

Half a month later, Bai Yun brought more than 20 Taoist disciples to Sanqing Temple. With Li Ping'an's encouragement, more than 20 Taoist disciples entered the Sutra Pavilion and each selected a magical power, and then rushed to the Northern Fire Kingdom with great ambition.

The Tao Gate of the Fire Nation in the Northern Territory had just been opened, and King Wuling of the Stone Kingdom in the Eastern Region also came to Sanqing Temple in the Western Region. Firstly, he visited Shi Mo's mother and son, and secondly, he brought the Stone Emperor's request to invite the Tao Gate to settle in the Stone Kingdom. Li Ping'an was also happy to do so.

Yes.

In the next few decades, the Holy Church and the Taoist Sect began to compete in the Eastern and Northern Territories. Even with the help of the Fire Nation and the Stone Kingdom, the Taoist Sect was still at a clear disadvantage. The Holy Church's hundreds of thousands of years of accumulated heritage were revealed, completely suppressing the new generation.

The Taoist sect made it difficult for the Taoist sect in the northern and eastern regions. Even if Shi Hao and the other two took action, it would be difficult to reverse the situation.

…

It was a sunny and windy day, and Li Ping'an was riding a green bull and walking slowly in a mountain forest, observing every detail of the world, hoping to gain some insights and make the space of the formation more real.

A plume of black smoke suddenly rose from the ground in front. A figure in a dragon robe walked out of the black smoke, bowed respectfully to Li Ping'an and said, "See the Taoist Master!"

Green Newton stopped and looked at the King of Wheels with wisdom.

Li Ping'an said: "King of Wheels, if you don't work in the underworld, what are you doing to me?"

The Wheel King smiled bitterly and said: "Tao Master, the underworld is too difficult now. More than ten City God's Mansions in the northern region were destroyed just now. Not only does the City God have no place to work, but even ghost missions are often blocked by practitioners when they catch souls.

"

The smile on Li Ping'an's face disappeared, and he said leisurely: "Those disciples who left the Western Region have worked very hard, but the hundreds of thousands of years of operation of the Holy Church have been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and their luck has been long. All of this is because the Taoist luck has been suppressed by the Holy Church.

Caused by.”

The Wheel King murmured: "Luck?" He looked up at Li Ping'an and asked anxiously: "Does the Tao Master have a way to increase the Taoist sect's luck?"

Li Pingan nodded and said, "Yes!"

The Wheel King's eyes lit up and he looked at Li Ping'an expectantly.

Li Ping'an said quietly: "I made a great oath to the way of heaven, guided by the luck of the dynasty, went through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, traveled west to learn the scriptures, and on the day of success, merit came from heaven, and my luck increased greatly."

The Lunxuan King said excitedly: "Master Taoist, when will this journey to the west begin?" It is no wonder that the Lunxuan King is not anxious, because the underworld is really too difficult now.

Li Ping'an hesitated and said: "You go back first, let Pindao think about the journey to the west again."

The King of Wheels bowed his head and said respectfully: "Yes! Xiao Wang takes leave~" The figure turned into a puff of black smoke and melted into the ground, disappearing.

Li Ping'an reached out and patted Aiqing Niu and said: "Let's go! Let's go back~"

"Moo~" Qingniu let out a low cry, leaping into the air and running towards Sanqing Temple.

The green bull landed in front of the Sanqing Temple. Li Pingan floated under his body and walked towards the Taoist temple. After returning to his room, he sat cross-legged on the bed and silently shouted in his heart: "System, come out, I have something to ask you."

"Hey~ don't pretend to be dead, just squeak when you hear it~"

"Whether you come out or not, believe it or not, Pindao is going to draw a circle in front of Sanqing Taoist Patriarch and curse you!"

"Squeak~ The Daomen Propaganda System is here to serve you wholeheartedly. Do you need any help?" The voice of the big pig's hoof system suddenly sounded in my mind.

Li Ping'an ignored the ridicule of the system and immediately asked: "If a poor Taoist also carries out a journey to the west to obtain scriptures, will the Taoist sect's luck also increase greatly? Just like the Buddhist sect in the ancient times."

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for activating the active mission and traveling to the West to learn scriptures! The reward is a set of customs clearance documents, a set of purple teaching robes, a bagua whisk, and a hidden jade talisman of Journey to the West."

Li Ping'an knew in his heart that it must be possible, otherwise the system would not give such a generous reward, and said in his heart: "Extract the secret jade talisman of Journey to the West!"

A ripple appeared in front of him, and a jade talisman slowly landed among the ripples, and was caught by Li Ping'an.

Li Ping'an was already very familiar with this kind of jade talisman. He entered it with a little concentration, and his mind suddenly appeared in the sky above a vast city. Tang Sanzang and his four people were slowly walking out of the city. The only thing that made Li Ping'an feel strange was that Tang Sanzang was walking out of the city.

Sanzang was not riding a horse but riding a carriage. There was a monkey scratching his head and ears sitting cross-legged on the top of the carriage.

In Li Ping'an's sight, the infinite luck above the carriage spread tens of thousands of miles backward, forming an endless river of luck, which was very shocking.

Next, Li Ping'an saw that every time Tang Sanzang's master and disciples passed through a disaster, a stream of merit would fall from the sky. Every time they passed a country and stamped the customs clearance document, part of that country's destiny would be separated into the long river of destiny.

Among them, the long river of luck becomes thicker and endless. Under the leadership of Tang Sanzang's master and disciple, it is unstoppable, as if it wants to open up a great road to the sky between heaven and earth.

After watching for a long time, Li Ping'an came back to his senses, and a clear understanding arose in his heart. It turns out that this is the truth about Journey to the West. Thinking of the long river of destiny that divides the world, he felt a burst of envy and jealousy in his heart. He secretly made up his mind, I will do it too.

!

Li Ping'an got out of bed, opened the door, walked outside, and said, "Everyone come back and assemble!"

After finishing speaking, he walked outside and went all the way to the main hall of Sanqing Temple in the front yard. He took three long incense sticks and bowed respectfully three times. He said: "The ancestor of Sanqing Taoism is here, and I plan to start traveling westward to obtain scriptures to increase my Taoism."

Good luck, please protect me from Taoist ancestors." He inserted the long incense into the incense burner and stood aside.

After a while, Qingxue, Qingyu, Shihao, Baixiaochun, Ningyi, Baiyun and others came to the main hall. They also took three long incense sticks and bowed three times, and then stood in a row respectfully.

Qingyu said with a smile: "Master, what did you ask us to do?"

Li Ping'an said solemnly: "Master plans to start a journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures."

A question mark arose in the minds of all the disciples: What is it about traveling to the west to obtain Buddhist scriptures?

Li Ping'an didn't tell them the story of Journey to the West, mainly because the heaven in the story was a bit miserable, which really damaged the Taoist sect's noble image.

Li Ping'an said sternly: "My master plans to choose one of the Taoist disciples from other regions, and let him walk back to the Western Region step by step, going through hardships along the way, and bringing back the Taoist scriptures."

Um~ The disciples really don’t know what the master is thinking. They can obviously be sent across the void, so why do they have to walk back step by step?! This is so troublesome.

Li Ping'an glanced around and asked: "Who among you has a suitable person to learn from the scriptures?"

Bai Yun's expression changed, and he quickly said: "Master, there is someone who is more suitable for me, but he is not in the Eastern Region or the Northern Region, but in the Southern Region."

Shi Hao said in surprise: "The Southern Territory is the headquarters of the Holy Church. How come there are our Taoist disciples there?"

Bai Yun said: "The east of the Southern Territory is the holy land of the monsters. There are also some human countries, but they are having a hard time under the bullying of the monsters."

Ning Yi nodded and said: "I have been to the Southern Region, where there are very few human monks in terms of both quantity and quality. The land is vast and sparsely populated, and the mountains are scattered all over."

Bai Yun showed a smile and said: "Qingfeng built a Taoist temple in the Ming Dynasty in the eastern part of the Southern Territory, but it did not make any achievements. There are even very few believers. They come to me every day to complain and want me to give it to them.

I sent him some sermons, but I just thought he was joking on a whim, so I didn't pay much attention to him.

Master, if you want someone to learn from, Qingfeng is very suitable, let him come back step by step!"

Li Ping'an laughed and said, "Qingfeng will definitely jump in anger if he hears what you said."

Qingxue and Qingyu also let out a knowing laugh. It’s been a long time since I last saw Junior Brother Qingfeng!

Li Ping'an pondered for a while and said: "I have already thought about the person who wants to learn the scriptures, let him worship Qingfeng as his teacher!"

Several disciples were curious. Master thought of it so quickly? Who is it?

Li Pingan raised his head and said: "Qingming~"

Ning Yi took a step forward and responded respectfully: "Disciple is here!"

Li Ping'an asked: "How many lives has Yama been reincarnated into?"

Ning Zhen immediately said: "This is the fifth life. In the first life, a demon pretended to be the river god and asked for boys and girls as sacrifices. The King of Hell risked his life to stop him, and was eventually killed by the demon.

In the second life, King Yama was reborn as a son of a wealthy family. A severe drought in the southwest affected the people. King Yama went to rescue the disaster and died suddenly from overwork.

In the third life, King Yama was reincarnated into a commoner's home and drowned himself while saving a drowning woman.

In the fourth life, King Yama was reincarnated into an ordinary family, and became an official through his own efforts. Due to his divinity, he could discern the details and judge cases like a god, and was loved by the people, but eventually died at the hands of assassins.

The fifth life is now. I have just been reincarnated as a mountain man. I am still a baby. My parents were killed by ferocious beasts and I am raised by the village chief. If nothing goes wrong in this life, King Yama can return to his throne."

Bai Xiaochun murmured: "She looks a lot like me."

Li Ping'an smiled and said: "That's him. Go and give the reincarnation of King Yama to Qingfeng, and he will be raised by Qingfeng. Twenty years later, he will start traveling to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures."

Ning Zhen said respectfully: "Yes! Disciple, go ahead now." He turned around and walked out, turning into a stream of light and rushing out of the sky.

"Come with me!"

Li Pingan led everyone to the peach tree in the front yard. He pressed his hand on the Suolong Well, and streams of light circulated on the Suolong Well. A ripple appeared on the water surface, revealing the scene below. A huge black dragon lay at the bottom of the well.

, the dragon's eyes closed tightly and fell into a deep sleep.

"Magic dragon~" Li Ping'an's voice echoed at the bottom of the well.

The demon dragon suddenly opened its blood-red eyes, looked up, grinned with a flattering smile and said, "Master, do you want to order a song?"

Li Ping'an looked at the magic dragon, pondered for a moment and said, "Do you want to go out?"

The whole body of the demon dragon trembled, and a pair of huge dragon eyes looked at Li Ping'an in disbelief. I... I can still get out? After being trapped for decades, listening to the chanting in the temple every day, the demon dragon's ferocious demonic heart has long been gone.
To be continued...
