Chapter 386 A Complete Set of Empty Plates

Looking at Zhu Jiuyin's actual arrival, Wei Yuan merely smiled and said,

"I just found some delicious human cuisine and wanted to see if Zhu Jiuyin would be interested."

"Eat first, no rush."

Zhu Jiuyin glanced at Wei Yuan, with a smile that was not quite a smile, and said,

"Then I'll leave after I finish eating."

Wei Yuan remained unfazed and said, "Indeed, I need Zhu Jiuyin's help with something."

Zhu Jiuyin took a sip of wine, frowned slightly, then switched to a refreshing drink similar to lemonade. Only then did his brow relax, and he nodded slightly, saying calmly, "Speak. What do you need my help with?"

Wei Yuan exhaled and briefly recounted the entanglement with Buddhism.

Zhu Jiuyin was not interested in human affairs.

He picked up a piece of pastry again and said calmly,

"Deduction? Speaking of which, when Fuxi was deducing the Eight Trigrams, I saw it, and I even participated in it, listening to his explanations."

He glanced at the stunned Wei Yuan and added,

"Yu the Great and Qi once found things left behind by Fuxi. Qi had some insights."

"But Yu the Great gained nothing, except for the Yeying Sword."

"Your temperament is similar to Yu the Great. Forget about those original Eight Trigrams and Yi numbers."

Wei Yuan opened his mouth.

Why do I feel like you're subtly insulting me when you say my temperament is similar to Yu the Great?

Yu: Are you being polite?

Wei Yuan grumbled inwardly. Following Zhu Jiuyin's instructions, he recalled the hexagram he had just divined, and then interpreted the dream. He closed his eyes, and scenes appeared before him. The first scene was Wei Yuan standing on a mountain peak, wearing a mask, slashing at the air and waves in front of him, splitting the waves.

The second scene was the mask on Wei Yuan's face suddenly shattering, revealing his true appearance.

As the mask shattered, the rocks under his feet also suddenly crumbled, and Wei Yuan could no longer stand, suddenly falling downwards.

Below was heavy lava, a churning sea of blood. Wei Yuan glared at this sea of blood, subconsciously raising his hand to slash, but naturally there was no sword in his hand. He suddenly opened his eyes and saw Zhu Jiuyin looking at him expressionlessly, holding a piece of pastry in his hand, while the plate in front of him had been knocked over by Wei Yuan.

Wei Yuan: "…………"

Congratulations, after successfully writing a little notebook for the Queen Mother of the West.

You have once again successfully knocked over the lunchbox of the Nine Nether God.

Achieving the "Ancient God Double Kill" achievement...

Yeah, right.

Zhu Jiuyin flicked his sleeve, without any hint of annoyance. Or rather, he only showed emotional fluctuations when he saw the true spirit of Gu, and when Wei Yuan described those Daoist thoughts. At other times, he was as indifferent as heaven and earth. After asking Wei Yuan what he had seen, Zhu Jiuyin pondered for a moment and said calmly,

"You should be able to see it too."

"Your subsequent Daoist-Buddhist conflict will not have any obvious ripples on the surface."

"But your hidden identity will be broken."

"You have received a lot of help because of your past, but now, because of the exposure of this identity, a large number of crises will directly emerge, eventually leading to your death. Lava, sea of blood... it seems that you made quite a few enemies during those years in the human world."

Wei Yuan frowned.

The result of this hexagram interpretation is shielded by Zhu Jiuyin, and will not be interfered with or distorted.

In other words, this hidden identity being broken refers not to the curator of the museum, but to a certain identity in history, and will therefore lead to a fatal disaster. Wei Yuan fell into deep thought. Zhu Jiuyin casually picked up a piece of pastry and said, "In fact, it's very simple to avoid this."

"The so-called divination of heavenly secrets is actually just a perception of yourself."

"This danger comes from yourself. Then, you only need to replace yourself."

"Don't go in person."

Seeing that Wei Yuan was still a little puzzled, Zhu Jiuyin calmly brought over a plate of snacks and said to himself,

"Then that so-called person in the dark, who can see through your identity, is probably directly seeing through your true spirit."

"This method basically requires sensing the world to be recognized, because your true spirit is more 'heavy' and more 'prominent' than your fleshly body, just like a sword is placed in front of you. Anyone who looks at it with their eyes will conclude that it is a sword, or at least a weapon, and will not say that it is a piece of iron."

"This is because its presence as a 'sword' is stronger than the material 'iron'."

"You are now existing as the true spirit of 'Yuan', and its presence is stronger than your 'fleshly body' in this life."

"Therefore, as long as someone whose heavenly secret divination methods have reached a certain level and who knows of Yuan's existence, then he is like someone who recognizes a sword seeing a sword, and will never mistake it."

Wei Yuan reacted and said in a deep voice, "In other words, I need to hide my true spirit?"

Zhu Jiuyin picked up a glass of lime juice and took a sip, saying,

"No."

"Ordinary methods are just like adding a scabbard to the outside of the sword. It's meaningless."

"What you should do is to reverse the sense of existence, so that the sense of existence of your fleshly body is stronger than your true spirit."

"In this way, the heavenly secret technique used by the other party will only focus on your fleshly body and ignore the true spirit."

Wei Yuan was thoughtful, and said slowly, "My fleshly body from ancient times?"

Thinking this way, that fleshly body that ate enough exotic beasts and did not decay with the years seems to be able to shield the heavenly secrets now. It is probably equivalent to a house with a strong enough sense of existence, and the special nature of Wei Yuan's true spirit will be concealed.

Then he suddenly thought of something.

The fleshly body was suppressed by Yu on the east side of Chongwu Mountain, left in this world, and was guided by Zhu Jiuyin to find it. And now, the best way to break the situation and hide himself is precisely this fleshly body, which is not strong but special enough, and has experienced the scouring of time.

Is it a coincidence? Or...

Wei Yuan looked at Zhu Jiuyin.

Zhu Jiuyin picked up a salted cashew and said, "It seems you have a way."

"I also have a way to make you safer."

Wei Yuan suppressed the thoughts that subconsciously emerged in his heart and said slowly, "Please teach me."

Zhu Jiuyin nodded and said, "I will take care of it myself."

He paused and said, "Yuan, the way of heaven and earth, there must be gain and loss. Remember this."

This seemed to be a warning, which made Wei Yuan's heart sink. Then he saw Zhu Jiuyin disappear. He thought for a long time, but couldn't figure it out or understand it. He had no choice but to get up and prepare to wake up from the dream, bring his other fleshly body back, and use it as the Taiping Dao Daoist to lecture in place of his main body. Then he saw that all the delicacies surrounding him were gone.

Only a pile of empty plates remained.

A desolate scene.

Wei Yuan was stunned.

Zhu Jiuyin?!

Wasn't he lecturing me?!

When did he eat it all?!

…………………

The next day.

The grand event of the Daoist and Buddhist debate was finally about to begin. This event received a lot of attention. The people living nearby hoped to witness this scene with their own eyes. Some people even came from thousands of miles away. Mount Tiantai was already overcrowded. If it weren't for the Special Operations Team's strict crackdown on ticket scalping and other things, this might have driven a wave of underground economy.

A clergyman with black curly hair, brown eyes, and a scholarly air walked off the plane.

Chewing sunflower seeds in his mouth.

Resentment in his eyes.

The Holy See really knows how to pass the buck.

For some reason, the Pope and the Pontiff both refused to come.

First, the Pontiff used divine magic.

Then the Pope also used it.

Then the old Pope, who had been persuading the Pontiff to go to Shenzhou, also shut up.

In the end, they sent people from the New World and Australian branches to come here, while the Holy See kicked this double agent, who had only just snuck into the Shenzhou Christian Church base, back to Shenzhou, letting him use his face to go and watch, and be a double agent for these Holy See guys.

What's going on?! Are you kidding me?!

A double-faced double agent?!

Bull!

Saint Johnson, follow the Lord's will, stop resisting. There are monkeys everywhere outside the church.

Amen.

Xiang Hongbao rubbed his head. The scene he saw some time ago, where the Great Sage seemed to be holding two watermelon knives, cutting from the Lingxiao Palace's Nantian Gate directly to the Mother Continent's Garden of Eden, still made his brain buzz.

It's impossible to be a double agent, but he still plans to go and see the excitement. The Christian Church, also known as the Daqin Christian Church, feels like it incorporates some Buddhist and Daoist elements. It wouldn't hurt to take a look.

Anyway, he is a pure-blooded Shenzhou person.

He just got a new ID card.

As for the guys who set off from Australia, he couldn't be bothered with them.

Xiang Hongbao patted his butt, took a taxi, and went straight to Mount Tiantai.

At this time, in a certain city in Shenzhou.

A thin young man, wearing a black baseball jacket, jeans, and a pair of domestic sneakers, carrying a box of unknown objects, sneaked into a tenement building, knocked on the door, and a hoarse voice came from inside:

"Tianwang Gai Di Hu!" (Heavenly King Covers the Earthly Tiger!)

The thin youth said solemnly:

"Wo Hu Yi Mi Wu!" (Crouching Tiger One Meter Five!)

The person inside asked again:

"Bao Ta Zhen He Yao!" (Pagoda Suppresses the River Demon!)

The thin youth looked resolute and replied:

"Tianshi Zhang Bu Gao!" (The Celestial Master Doesn't Grow Tall!)

"Good, you're a brother."

"Come in."

The door opened a crack, and the young man flashed in. The inside looked like a bar, but the people inside were all strangely shaped. Some had long hair, some had horns on their foreheads, and some had sheep heads, but there was no demonic aura. They all had pure primeval energy.

These were all the Shan Hai Jing (Classic of Mountains and Seas) monsters that had been smuggled in and then captured and modified by Zhang Ruosu.

That thin youth was the venomous beast Qin Yuan.

Of course, now he is the great proletarian beekeeper, providing high-quality honey for Shenzhou.

He put down the things he was carrying. Inside were all made honey wines. After a group of demon beasts were captured, they were directly subjected to ideological transformation, divided into Chinese language, ideological and moral education, common sense and law, and those damn three subjects.

Mathematics, mathematics, and still f***ing mathematics!

But now they have finally made it through.

As for the password, it was found after they initially mastered modern mobile phones. It was a couplet that not only had cultural heritage, but also was filled with resentment towards the two guys who caught them back. It could be called unparalleled and flawless.

A few people clinked glasses.

Qin Yuan opened the second-hand big TV that they had pooled money to buy, and said solemnly: "Shenzhou has done such a hateful thing to us, actually forcing us to learn mathematics, and also have to take exams, and also elect discipline committee members. Therefore, we must resist. Where there is oppression, there is resistance. We are just, so we will not lose!"

A group of demon beasts raised their honey wine and shouted: "We will not lose!"

Qin Yuan continued: "We must overthrow the hateful Crouching Tiger ideology of Longhu Mountain!"

A group of Shan Hai Jing demon beasts roared: "Overthrow the hateful Crouching Tiger ideology of Longhu Mountain!"

Qin Yuan was satisfied and was about to speak when a loud roar came from upstairs: "Hey, you guys downstairs, be quiet!"

"Believe it or not, I'll dance the square dance in front of your house next time?!"

Qin Yuan's anger suddenly subsided.

He coughed and pointed to two demon beasts, saying: "I, Ju Fu, and A Qing will form a branch group to organize our great cause. Hmm? Where did Ju Fu go?"

A demon beast with Qingniao (Bluebird) bloodline raised its wings: "Ju Fu likes to move things, so he is now a shared bicycle recycler. Should we give him a call?" The demons called, and a hearty laugh came: "Is there only one of me left?"

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I only have one bike left to recycle here."

"If I don't get back in half an hour, I'll treat today!"

Qin Yuan muttered that Ju Fu was so stingy, so he would be back soon.

In a certain place, the demon beast Ju Fu, transformed and wearing work clothes, opened his phone with a smile and looked at the map. Huh? Why can't I see the end of that red line? He silently zoomed out the map, zoomed out, zoomed out, and the smile on his face slowly solidified.

He looked at his watch.

Finally, he made a phone call: "Boss, I found a walking 500,000."

"Yes, a spy, or a smuggler."

"What? What did he smuggle?"

Ju Fu looked solemn and serious: "He smuggled a shared bicycle."

"To Australia."

The middle-aged man on the other end of the phone: "…………"

The Shan Hai Jing beasts, who did not receive a response from Ju Fu, turned on the TV. Qin Yuan took a sip of iced beer and explained:

"Today is the battle between the Daoist and Buddhist sects."

"As the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated. We also have to see what these human cultivators are practicing and what powerful methods they have. Only in this way can we successfully defeat them. Let me see, the Taiping Dao Daoist Master, hum, I've never even heard of him. I don't know what he's capable of."

"Come, watch."

ps: Today's second update... 3,800 words.

Because I didn't want to start directly and dryly, and added the life of harmless fierce beasts in the Shan Hai realm as a buffer, the word count is okay~
