Suddenly, a sound reached Bai Zhi's ears. Looking in the direction of the sound, she saw several powerful immortals standing on the mountaintop, shaking their heads slightly at her.
That must be telepathic communication.
"We won't feed it much, but this monkey used to be a good friend of mine. We're just catching up, so would you gentlemen do us the honor?"
Bai Zhi's answer made Wu Fang Jie Di frown slightly, but he didn't say anything more. As long as Bai Zhi wasn't here feeding the monkeys every day, it was acceptable.
Of course, more importantly, what is Bai Zhi's identity? She is a disciple of Laozi and was even invited by Buddha to discuss Taoism with Medicine Buddha.
Although they are dragons, they are not comparable to those mountain and well dragon kings who are easily beheaded.
"Thank you all. If you need any pills in the future, please feel free to contact me."
"Hehe, you're too kind, True Lord."
The Five Directions Protectors relaxed their expressions.
Chapter 665 This is the way of human relationships
Looking at the expressions of the Five Directions Protectors, Bai Zhi shook her head.
Indeed, the martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions.
"Monkey, you can eat slowly, I'm leaving now."
Upon hearing this, the monkey froze, abandoning even the magic fruit in its mouth, and struggled to look up to ask, "Little White, where are you going?"
Bai Zhi replied irritably, "Monkey, you didn't think I'd been staying here all along, did you?"
She still has a lot to do, including the peach tree task, which she's just one step away from completing.
She felt uneasy if she didn't finish dealing with this reward of spiritual roots of heaven and earth as soon as possible.
"Hehehe, we haven't seen each other for so long, it's good to have a chat. You have no idea how miserable I've been trapped here for 200 years."
The monkey seemed rather submissive.
He was truly terrified of loneliness here. For 200 years, there hadn't been a soul in sight. He felt that if he were imprisoned for another few hundred years, he might even forget how to speak.
“You’re being punished here, not on vacation. And do you think the Five Directions Protectors guarding this place would agree to my request?”
Although the Five Directions Protectors have accepted her kindness, it doesn't mean they can do whatever they want here without restraint.
They're guarding this place; it's not just a joke.
"If I get out, I'll definitely take care of those guys..."
Hearing Bai Zhi's words, the monkey was quite unconvinced and wanted to say something harsh, but he stopped halfway through.
"Definitely something?"
Seeing this, Bai Zhi asked with a smile.
"I will definitely make good friends with all of you brothers."
The monkey gave an awkward laugh and changed the subject.
His previous experience taught him that there are always people more capable than oneself, and he dares not say anything about fighting or killing casually now.
It's already tough enough being under these circumstances; if something else happens, will we even survive?
"Alright, just stay put. If it were anyone else who committed the crime of causing havoc in the Heavenly Palace, they would probably be annihilated. The fact that you're being kept here is already an act of mercy."
"Do you really think there's no way to kill you in this world?"
The monkey chuckled sheepishly, "I understand, I understand."
Putting aside everything else, just take the Eight Trigrams Furnace as an example. If Bai Zhi wanted to, she could fill the entire furnace with flames. Even if the monkey was indestructible, he would eventually turn to ashes.
"Be a good boy and reform yourself, and strive to become a new person!"
After leaving behind a pile of fairy fruits, Bai Zhi left the monkey's place amidst his longing gaze.
Upon arriving at the Five Directions Protector, Bai Zhi greeted them.
"I'm sorry to trouble you all. This monkey was once my good friend, but he's trapped underneath me. I came to visit him and hope I haven't caused you any trouble."
"You're too kind, True Lord. We are very grateful for your cooperation in fulfilling our duties, and it's not much trouble for us to spend a little time visiting you."
Several Buddhist deities dressed in golden armor performed a Buddhist salute and said with a smile.
"Please don't stand on ceremony, gentlemen. These are some things I refined while practicing in the Tushita Palace. I'm giving them to you as compensation for disturbing your cultivation."
As she spoke, Bai Zhi took out five golden pills.
Although she was quite poor in this world, lacking magical treasures and precious materials, the Tushita Palace had them all. Its storeroom was overflowing with all sorts of rare materials, which she could use for practice.
Even if these pills are not as good as the Nine-Turn Golden Pill refined by Laozi, they are still much better than those refined by the two boys.
At least it won't be the same food that monkeys eat, leaving behind a lot of erysipelas.
"This is not appropriate..."
Smelling the fragrance emanating from the pill, the Jiedi coughed lightly. Although he said he refused, his hand still honestly took a pill from Baizhi's hand.
Seeing this, the others took the remaining four coins, somewhat embarrassed.
These Buddhist deities are not as wealthy as the gods in the heavenly court.
After all, they are just a local power. Although they are not weak, they cannot compare with the Heavenly Court, which rules over the three realms, in terms of finances and resources.
Not to mention the patterns on Bai Zhi's pills. Although they are not nine-turn pills, they are still seven or eight-turn pills. They are considered precious items in the Heavenly Court and are treasured by them.
“We brothers appreciate your kindness, True Lord. If you ever want to come and see this monkey again, as long as it’s not excessive, we’ll take full responsibility.”
The group was all smiles, eager to chat with Bai Zhi for hours.
Look how well the Abundant and Vast Lord knows how to treat people; he makes you feel instantly warm and friendly.
"Thank you all in advance. But do any of you know how to get to Guanjiang Estuary?"
After delivering the items, Bai Zhi asked a question.
"Oh? You're going to find Erlang Shen? That makes sense. I've heard you have a good relationship with Erlang Shen. How about this, I'll personally lead the way for you. I've been to Guanjiang Estuary before."
"Aren't you supposed to be protecting Wuzhi Mountain? Wouldn't taking me to Guanjiang Estuary violate the Buddha's decree?"
"Haha."
The leader, a golden-armored Jiedi, laughed loudly, "It's alright. We're not here all the time. We take turns guarding it most of the time. After all, it's unrealistic for the five of us to guard a monkey for hundreds of years."
"That's true."
Bai Zhi nodded slightly. These were powerful guardian deities in Buddhism, so how could they stay here and watch the monkey being trapped underneath and exposed to the elements?
"Sorry to trouble you."
"No trouble at all, no trouble at all. It is our honor to guide the True Lord."
The golden-armored deity smiled kindly, then began to ride the clouds, carrying Bai Zhi in one direction.
After flying for a short while, Bai Zhi saw a huge mansion, but it didn't look like the residence of immortals or gods. Instead, it looked like the residence of a mortal landowner.
If it weren't for the help of the Golden Armored Immortal, she might not have been able to find this place.
"This is the residence of Erlang Zhenjun at Guanjiangkou. Although I have met Erlang Zhenjun once, we are not very familiar with each other, so I will not go in."
"Thank you for your trouble. This medicine is for you alone."
Bai Zhi took out a purple herb and handed it to Jie Di.
Seeing this, the Golden Armored Immortal was practically beaming with joy. Although this medicine wasn't as good as the previous seventh or eighth-grade Golden Elixir, a sixth-grade elixir was still a very good thing.
Just by taking people on a trip, they managed to get such a good thing. I'm afraid my brothers would be jealous if they knew.
"You're too kind, True Lord. Haha, I'll do my best to help you in the future."
He decided that when he returned, he would definitely spread the word about Bai Zhi's generosity to his colleagues in Lingshan.
This is someone worth befriending.
After Jie Di left, Bai Zhi slowly flew down towards the mansion.
Chapter 666 Prelude to the Resurrection of Yang Jian's Mother
"True Lord, someone has come to visit."
Inside the mansion, Yang Jian was chatting quietly with his younger sister when he heard a grass-roots deity come in to report.
"Oh? Who?"
"Reporting to the True Lord, that person claims to be the Abundant and Vast True Lord Bai Zhi. Judging from his appearance, he seems to be a dragon."
After thinking for a moment, Cao Tou Shen replied.
"Bai Zhi? Is that the one you mentioned last time, brother?"
The girl beside Yang Jian asked with a hint of concern.
"Hehe, yes, that Bai Zhi Zhenjun is quite powerful. If you were to fight her head-on in one place, most immortals would probably not fare well."
"However, last time it was just that the monkey was stupid and didn't know how to run away. If it had run away, it probably wouldn't have been weakened so much by Bai Zhi's power and was eventually knocked unconscious by Lao Jun with one blow."
"She said last time that she had something to talk to me about, but then she mysteriously disappeared for a while."
"However, as a wandering immortal, she doesn't hold any official position, so it's normal for her to appear and disappear unpredictably."
"Then... True Lord, shall we welcome that person in?"
The grass-headed god stared longingly at Yang Jian. This guy didn't sound like some nobody from the countryside. It wasn't right to make him wait outside.
"Please come in, this is an honored guest. Have the servants prepare food and wine."
Yang Jian waved his hand, and the Grass God, having received the order, hurriedly ran back.
A short while later, the Grass God came in with Angelica dahurica.
"Erlang Zhenjun, it's been a long time."
Bai Zhi greeted him first.
"Miss Baizhi, there's no need to address me like that. As someone who has greatly helped the Third Prince, you can just call me Yang Jian or Brother Yang."
"Oh, this lady next to me is my younger sister, Yang Chan."
Seeing Bai Zhi looking at her younger sister, Yang Jian introduced her.
Bai Zhi looked at Yang Chan with some curiosity. Her skin was like jade, and she had bright eyes and white teeth. Although she wasn't her type, her looks were still quite good.
It's hard to say how such a fairy-like woman ended up being taken by Liu Yanchang.
No wonder Yang Jian was so angry later.
If my sister had married someone powerful, it would have been fine, but someone like Liu Yanchang... well...
"I have met True Lord Baizhi. My brother has already told me many stories about you."
Yang Chan bowed slightly, then served Bai Zhi a cup of tea.
"Hi, I don't have anything special to say. I hope my visit today hasn't bothered you and your brother."
Bai Zhi sat down and asked casually.
"No, my brother and I don't usually have much to do here at Guanjiang Estuary. Your presence here, True Lord, adds a touch of liveliness."
Yang Chan said softly.
"I'm glad I didn't disturb you. I just happened to be passing by and was thinking about what I talked about with Brother Yang last time."
"Oh? What does Miss Baizhi want to talk to me about?"
Yang Jian was a little curious. Given Bai Zhi's status, it couldn't be something trivial, could it?
"It's nothing. I've heard about Brother Yang's story of splitting the mountain to save his mother, and I admire him greatly."
Upon hearing this, Yang Jian looked somewhat dejected, and Yang Chan promptly poured him a cup of tea.
After finishing his tea, Yang Jian calmly said, "Miss Baizhi, there's no need to mention the past. Although I split the mountain, I ultimately failed to save my mother."
"That's not what I meant. I just wanted to ask, Brother Yang, do you have any intention of reviving your mother?"
Bai Zhi tapped the stone table and said with a smile.
Yang Jian frowned, looking at Bai Zhi with confusion, "Miss Bai Zhi, what does this mean?"
