Chapter 321: Invitation to Jinshan Temple, First Meeting with Xuanzang, Dragon King of West Lake, Human Principles

Tang Dynasty, Yuhang County.

Ever since Di Xiao learned that the cultivation forces in Yuhang County were so complex and so special, he not only did not feel a headache in his heart, but instead felt a sense of vague anticipation.

After all, the cultivation forces in Yuhang County correspond to some of the forces in his memory.

Of course, although he was familiar with these forces, Emperor Xiao would not put all his thoughts on them. He handed over all the affairs in Yuhang County to Wu Meiniang, and then he turned around to practice in seclusion.

In the world of Journey to the West, strength is everything. Di Xiao, who was in seclusion, concentrated on running the Wandaohua War Sutra, gathering the fighting spirit of all the female warriors in Yuhang County and refining his own fighting method.

Unfortunately, everything in Yuhang County was peaceful, and there were not many wars, so the fighting spirit of these female warriors was slightly insufficient. It was difficult for them to help Emperor Xiao achieve the peak of the Golden Immortal in a short period of time.

Emperor Xiao simply fought with himself and continued to comprehend the way of war.

After practicing like this for several years, Di Xiao was awakened by Wu Meiniang's voice transmission.

Before Di Xiao went into seclusion, he specifically told Wu Meiniang not to send messages to him unless she encountered problems that could not be solved.

Now Wu Meiniang sent a message, and it was obvious that she had encountered a problem that was difficult to solve. Di Xiao rushed out and found Wu Meiniang's trace.

"Mei Niang, what difficult problems have arisen?" Di Xiao's eyes flashed with concern. He really cared about Wu Meiniang. After all, she was his future helper and a strong person in the future.

Wu Meiniang's heart was warm, her eyes were tender, and she said with concern to Di Xiao: "My husband, the reason I suddenly sent you this message is not because there is a problem in Yuhang County that is difficult to solve. It is because of this invitation to invite you to come."

"Invitation?" When Di Xiao saw the invitation, his eyebrows changed slightly: "Jinshan Temple invites me to participate in the new abbot's appointment?"

"Yes. The old abbot of Jinshan Temple has cultivated to the realm of Golden Immortal. According to the agreement between our Tang Dynasty and the major forces in the prehistoric world, all major forces that come to the human race to preach, in addition to sending pure humans to preach. Even the preachers and the human disciples they accept, as long as they cultivate to the realm of Golden Immortal, must leave the human race's nine states. Unless they are willing to join the Tang Dynasty and be tied to the Tang Dynasty's national destiny!" The county magistrate Di Xiao was naturally clear about the rules mentioned by Wu Meiniang.

The human race was cultivated by the major forces, but the human race cultivated by others was ultimately branded with the traces of the major forces. Therefore, these people full of traces of the major forces were nothing to Huoyun Cave, but they were quite embarrassing to the Tang Dynasty. The Tang Dynasty did not want its dynasty to be infiltrated by the major forces.

However, if you choose to bind yourself to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, it will be different. After all, if you bind yourself to the fate of the Tang Dynasty, your cultivation speed will be extremely fast, but if the fate of the Tang Dynasty is damaged, it will also implicate the bound cultivators. This can be said to be a matter of national fate.

Moreover, there is no eternal dynasty or eternal national destiny among the human race. Therefore, many cultivators are basically unwilling to join the Tang Dynasty. Therefore, anyone who cultivates to the Golden Immortal realm will choose to leave the human race and hand over the power they have created to their disciples.

Now that the old abbot of Jinshan Temple has reached the realm of Golden Immortal, it is natural for him to pass on his position to the newcomer.

Thinking of this new host, Di Xiao was also vaguely interested: "Okay, I'll accept this invitation. I'll go and see what's going on in Jinshan Temple when the time comes."

Yuhang County, Jinshan Temple.

Since receiving the invitation from Jinshan Temple, Di Xiao also arrived at Jinshan Temple at the agreed time.

Riding on the county magistrate's exclusive mount, he brought Wu Meiniang to the Jinshan Temple.

The old abbot of Jinshan Temple led the new abbot to greet him: "Amitabha, the arrival of Dixiao County Magistrate brings great honor to our Jinshan Temple." "Haha... old abbot is too polite." He didn't care about the old abbot's flattering words, but smiled: "Speaking of which, although I am the county magistrate of Yuhang County, I have been in seclusion for many years and have never visited the major cultivation forces in the county. Now I would like to use your Jinshan Temple to meet with the major forces."

"It is an honor for our Jinshan Temple." The old abbot was really polite. He radiated compassionate Buddha light and invited Di Xiao to enter Jinshan Temple.

When he entered the Buddhist temple in Jinshan Temple, he saw that it was already full of monks. Emperor Xiao's deep double pupils swept across the room, taking in everyone.

Most of these people were cultivators. And as Wu Meiniang transmitted the message, she gradually understood the situation of the people who came.

The current head of Shushan Sword Sect, Taoist Qingwei, the Water Moon Fairy of Xianling Island, the Dragon King of West Lake, and the headmaster of the Tang Dynasty Civil and Military Official School...

My goodness, all the major cultivation forces in Yuhang County have come. Especially this West Lake Dragon King, who made Di Xiao a little confused. Although I heard from Wu Meiniang before that there are many monsters in Yuhang County, I didn't expect there is also a dragon.

Emperor Xiao was puzzled as to how there was an extra Dragon Lord of West Lake, but the people in the Taoist temple, seeing Emperor Xiao coming, all bowed and said, "We greet the County Magistrate Emperor Xiao."

"No need to be so polite!" Di Xiao flicked his sleeves and said politely, then followed the old abbot of Jinshan Temple to a distinguished seat in the main hall.

As soon as Emperor Xiao sat down, he felt a strong Buddha light. The Buddha light was pure and contained a mysterious power of compassion.

Emperor Xiao frowned and looked at the person emitting Buddha's light: "Such a pure and compassionate Buddha's light, this monk is..."

Since Emperor Xiao received the Buddhist inheritance from Tathagata, he has a certain understanding of the Buddhist practice system. In the Buddhist practice system, the power cultivated is called Buddha power, and this Buddha power is full of compassion and sympathy because of the relationship between the Buddha's law.

Especially the higher the level of cultivation of Buddhist and Taoist practitioners, the more compassionate they appear when they use their Buddha power, just like some enlightened monk.

But why is it that the handsome monk in front of me, who has no cultivation at all, is emitting such Buddha light?

"Amitabha. I am Xuanzang, nice to meet the Magistrate of Dixiao County!" The monk smiled slightly, just like the Buddha smiling at a flower, filled with compassion and mystery.

Emperor Xiao was stunned, looking at the monk in front of him, somewhat surprised. Xuanzang, Tang Xuanzang, the core of the Journey to the West, was also the reincarnation of Jin Chan, the eldest disciple of Tathagata.

After knowing that this was the world of Journey to the West, Emperor Xiao had been interested in Tang Monk and his disciples. But he had only communicated with Sun Wukong before, but now he met Tang Xuanzang face to face.

"It turns out to be the monk Xuanzang. I have heard of the monk Xuanzang before in Chang'an, but I have never met him. I didn't expect to meet him in Jinshan Temple today." Although Emperor Xiao was surprised, he responded politely to Tang Xuanzang. After all, he was so polite, so he couldn't lose his demeanor. However, Emperor Xiao was secretly on guard.

After all, Di Xiao did not forget why he came to Yuhang County.

Xuanzang clasped his hands together, still very calm: "I was born in Jinguang Temple, which is a lineage of Jinshan Temple. I was invited here today, and it is also my fate to meet the Dixiao County Magistrate."

Emperor Xiao's expression showed a hint of understanding. It turned out that Jinguang Temple and Jinshan Temple were of the same lineage. That's right, the two temples are only one word different, so it's normal for them to be related.

At the moment, Emperor Xiao was looking at Xuan Zang and was full of curiosity about him. After all, he was the future protagonist of Journey to the West, so he asked, "Master Xuan Zang was born in the Jinguang Temple. I wonder if he has practiced Buddhism or Taoism?"
