Chapter 403: Pupil of the Heavenly Dao
The backyard.
Guanyin Bodhisattva and Tianyu Pusa stood together. Compared to the holy and sacred Guanyin Bodhisattva, this Tianyu Pusa was charming and graceful. She cultivated the appearance of the Red Dust and possessed many faces; to different people, every impression was different.
"I never expected Brother Jinchanzi to truly break through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm," said Tianyu Pusa.
Her brows and eyes were like a painting, her skin like congealed fat, her red lips like fire, and her eyes seemed capable of bewitching souls and stealing spirits.
Although Tianyu Pusa's cultivation was not as high as Guanyin's, she was also in the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm.
It was just that her method of advancing to the Great Luo Golden Immortal was different from the traditional way; she had entered the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm through the path of Faith and incense.
This was the cultivation path of Buddhism: gathering the Faith of all living beings to attain the Great Luo in an alternative way.
Guanyin was the same, only more advanced than Tianyu Pusa.
Now that Xuanzang had broken into the Great Luo realm by force, it was impossible for Tianyu Pusa not to be envious.
But what Tianyu Pusa did not understand was that, logically, upon advancing to the Great Luo, Xuanzang should have understood his past and present lives, broken the mystery of the womb, and regained the memories of his nine lives, yet the Jinchanzi before her did not seem to have recovered his memories.
So the question arose: what kind of power could prevent a Great Luo from awakening the memories of their past lives?
Furthermore, let alone a Great Luo, even an ordinary mortal becoming an immortal could already see through their past and present lives.
Or perhaps, was Xuanzang pretending?
"Tianyu Pusa, this tribulation is intended to test Xuanzang's Buddha-heart; do not overthink it," said Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Although Tianyu Pusa was a member of Buddhism, she was very dangerous; in order to keep her thoughts clear, she might engage in some kind of ancient dual-cultivation technique.
"Guanyin Bodhisattva, are you certain you want to test the Buddha-heart of a Great Luo Golden Immortal? In this realm, how many are there in the entire Three Realms? With the Buddha knowing that Jinchanzi has broken through to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm, he still set up this tribulation; what do you think it is for?" Tianyu Pusa asked in return.
"How would I know what the Buddha is thinking?" said Guanyin.
"Do you not want to know the secret of how Jinchanzi advanced to the Great Luo Golden Immortal realm so quickly?" Tianyu Pusa asked again.
"Amituofo, for a monk, all things are empty. This is Xuanzang's predestined affinity, not mine," said Guanyin.
"Hehe. But it seems this Wangmu Niangniang holds Jinchanzi in very high regard," Tianyu Pusa said, her gaze fixed on the main hall.
At this moment, one could see that Wangmu's gaze had not left Xuanzang.
Guanyin was silent; she could naturally see the unusual attitude Wangmu held toward Xuanzang.
It was just that she did not understand when Wangmu and Xuanzang had formed Karma.
One was the mistress of the female immortals of the Three Realms, the other a member of Buddhism and the heaven-ordained Scripture Seeker.
"Very well, prepare some tea and vegetarian food," said Guanyin.
"Why go to such trouble?"
Tianyu Pusa gave Guanyin a Byakugan, and with a flick of her finger, the stones on the ground and the frogs and insects in the grass turned into exquisite, fragrant pastries and vegetarian meals.
"……Are you sure that monkey won't be able to tell with that Transformation Art?" said Guanyin.
"He won't," Tianyu Pusa said confidently.
Guanyin Bodhisattva said nothing more; this was all that could be done now. Everything in this courtyard was conjured, there were many flaws, and there were no servants; she couldn't exactly have them go and brew tea and cook themselves.
The main hall.
Wangmu Niangniang and Xuanzang were conversing happily, and Xuanzang was also guessing Wangmu's identity.
According to the plot of Journey to the West, the only one capable of playing the role of the mother of multiple Bodhisattvas was the ancient cultivator Lishan Laomu.
But unlike his impression, this incarnation of Wangmu Niangniang was truly too beautiful, and she possessed an elegant and noble temperament that appeared and disappeared, as well as a touch of majesty that was intimidating without anger, as if she had been in a high position for a long time.
In this regard, she was not like Lishan Laomu!
"Who exactly is she?"
Xuanzang thought to himself, then suddenly asked:
"Female Bodhisattva, I do not yet know your name."
Upon hearing this, Wangmu said:
"Master, you may call me Lady Chen."
"……" Xuanzang.
"Lady Chen, you actually share the same secular surname as Master," said Bajie.
"What a coincidence," Sun Wukong stared at Wangmu with glowing eyes.
"There is no coincidence without a story; it seems our family has a very deep affinity with the Master," Wangmu smiled.
"I'm afraid it's a karmic debt; calling herself Madam Chen, she's actually taking advantage of me."
Xuanzang thought to himself, though he remained calm on the surface. It was just a pity he could not peer into her true form and did not know which immortal she was.
However, her strength was at least that of a Great Luo Golden Immortal, otherwise, he would not have been unable to see through her.
"Ding, obtained reward for doing one good deed a day: Heavenly Dao Pupil experience card."
At this moment, the voice of the Heavenly Dao Rewards Diligence System rang in Xuanzang's ears.
And the reward was naturally for helping others in the world of Zhang Sanfeng previously, helping Zhang Sanfeng save the dying Miejue.
It was just that this damn system's nature remained the same, taking so long to issue the reward.
"Heavenly Dao Pupil, the Eye of the Heavenly Dao; under the Heavenly Dao, one can peer into all truths, falsehoods, and nothing can hide. It can also reopen heaven and earth, evolve Chaos, trace the origin..."
Understanding the information about this reward, it was similar to the Fiery Eyes, but definitely more advanced than the Fiery Eyes; it belonged to the Heavenly Dao Dharma Pupil, and under the Heavenly Dao, nothing could remain hidden.
But why was it an experience card? And only for three days.
"With this Heavenly Dao Pupil, would I be able to see through the disguise of the person in front of me?"
Xuanzang had an idea in his heart. This was just an experience card; once used, it would be gone, and Xuanzang did not count on keeping it as a trump card.
If he did not know the other party's identity, it would be hard for him to receive their moves.
Moreover, this Lady Chen's gaze had been on him the whole time, as if she wanted to eat him; he did not know what kind of scheme she had in mind.
"Monkey, look, Master's gaze has met with this Lady Chen's," Bajie transmitted his voice.
"So what, you idiot?" said Sun Wukong.
To the side, Bajie and Sun Wukong whispered to each other.
Although Bajie was lecherous, after Sun Wukong's reminder, he also felt that this family was full of suspicious circumstances.
Especially since even Houzi could not see through the disguise, the other party's strength could be imagined.
And for some reason, he felt a very familiar pressure from Lady Chen, making him unable to resist wanting to kowtow to her.
This was terrifying!
In his past life, Bajie was Fleet Admiral Tianpeng, and he held a pivotal position in the entire Heavenly Court.
There were very few identities that could make him voluntarily kowtow.
"We are about to have another mistress."
Immediately, Bajie covered his pig nose and chuckled.
"Pah, you idiot, what are you thinking? Master would fancy this Lady Chen? She looks just average," Sun Wukong said.
"Of course you, this dead monkey, think she looks average, because you are a monkey. If you look with human eyes and judge with human aesthetics, among human women, this Lady Chen is definitely a ninety-nine out of a hundred, plus this mature temperament..."
Bajie sighed, saying that if he could have such a soulmate in this life, he would die without regrets.
"..." Sun Wukong.
In his eyes, women were indeed not as good-looking as the female monkeys of Huaguoshan, and the key point was that they didn't have fur.
"Heavenly Dao Pupil, open!"
Meanwhile, Xuanzang silently merged with the Heavenly Dao Pupil experience card, and suddenly his eyes were as if aided by a god; all things in heaven and earth had no secrets in his eyes and were incredibly clear.
His gaze looked toward the Queen Mother, and the pupil power of the Heavenly Dao Eye directly saw through the disguise!
In his eyes, she was an extremely graceful and luxurious woman in a purple dress, with exquisite Phoenix patterns covering the purple dress from top to bottom, and an immeasurable Merit Halo hanging behind her, her aura extraordinary!
Reflected in the Heavenly Dao Pupil, the Queen Mother's temperament was unique, like an Empress reigning over the Three Realms, her pressure dominating heaven and earth.
"She is... the Queen Mother!"
Although Xuanzang had never met the Queen Mother, in the entire Three Realms, only one person possessed such a temperament.
