Chapter 82: Sword Immortal Li Bai, a Real Man Never Looks Back

Journey to the West: Starting by Joining the Chat Group, Main Text Volume, Chapter 82, Sword Immortal Li Bai, a Real Man Never Looks Back, Jiaofangsi, Main Hall.

Inside the main hall, there was singing and dancing, with people coming and going, all of them scholars, poets, and wealthy merchants.

Xuanzang walked among them, and his head-turning rate was absolutely one hundred percent; after all, monks usually stay in temples.

There was simply no one like him who would appear in the Jiaofangsi so openly, and the key was that he didn't even have to pay.

Many dancing girls cast amorous glances at him, but unfortunately, Xuanzang was not interested in them.

He arrived at the place where the young talents of Chang'an gathered; these young people were all watching the scrolls hanging down from the dome, which featured the talented scholars and beautiful women who had left poems there in the past.

Among them was Xuanzang's poem!

It is said that a thousand gold pieces are easy to obtain, but a single poem is hard to come by!

The poems in the Jiaofangsi that could truly become famous throughout the world were few and far between.

Xuanzang walked closer, and a few young people were gathered around his poem, appraising it.

One of the young men, with a free and easy appearance, frowned, his face showing a look of contemplation.

This attracted the attention of others, and it also caught Xuanzang's attention.

"This person is no ordinary man," Xuanzang thought to himself.

The Qi Luck on this young man could not be compared to that of an ordinary person; although it was not as good as his own, it was not bad either.

"Brother Taibai, why have you been staring at this poem for such a long time?"

A young man wearing a white robe and looking quite handsome asked.

This man was surnamed Ye, named Suifeng, and was a direct descendant of the Ye Family of Chang'an, a prominent family.

And the one addressed as Brother Taibai was surnamed Li, named Bai, a wandering swordsman who was quite famous in Chang'an City.

Li Bai said subconsciously, "This poem feels very familiar; there is a strange feeling that I cannot put into words."

"Haha, it is rumored to be written by a Holy Monk; do you know him?" Ye Suifeng laughed.

"A Holy Monk!"

Li Bai nodded slightly, very interested in this Holy Monk.

As the few of them were discussing, they also noticed Xuanzang on the side.

They were very surprised; how could there be a monk in this Jiaofangsi?

"Monk, you don't eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name, so why have you come to this place of wind and moon?" Ye Suifeng asked.

Xuanzang's reputation was widespread, but very few had actually seen Xuanzang.

Li Bai was no ordinary person; his eyesight was unique, and at a glance, he felt that Xuanzang was definitely not a creature of the pond, especially that innate transcendent temperament, which was very rare.

Xuanzang said, "If there is Buddha in the heart, one can eat vegetarian food and chant Buddha's name anywhere. If there is no Buddha in the heart, even if one chants sutras day and night in a temple, it is nothing but emptiness."

Li Bai listened and became thoughtful. He felt that these words were very philosophical; it seemed like he had said something, yet it also seemed like he had said nothing at all, but the logic was sound.

Seeing this, Ye Suifeng became even more curious and asked:

"Monk, then do you have Buddha in your heart?"

"I am the Buddha; why would I need to have Buddha in my heart?" Xuanzang said casually.

Upon hearing this, Ye Suifeng and Li Bai were suddenly shocked as if seeing a Heavenly Human; good fellow, this young man was truly arrogant, actually claiming to be the Buddha.

Before the two could react, Xuanzang smiled indifferently and said:

"Laughing aloud, I go out the door; how could we be people of the weeds!"

Leaving behind a line of poetry in front of Li Bai, he then left gracefully.

Ye Suifeng and Li Bai were astonished.

"Laughing aloud, I go out the door; how could we be people of the weeds!"

Li Bai's eyes contained brilliance; he felt that this poem was very profound and very free-spirited, and it could not be compared to those ordinary poems at all.

But for some reason, after hearing this poem, he always felt that something was not quite right.

"Taibai, who exactly is he?" Ye Suifeng asked.

"I don't know." Li Bai shook his head.

"Who else could it be? There is only one Holy Monk in the entire Jiaofangsi!"

Not far away, another handsome man was standing there, with an extraordinary temperament and a slender figure.

He had been standing there for a while, observing Xuanzang, Li Bai, and the others.

"Young Master Daolei!" Ye Suifeng's face showed surprise.

Young Master Daolei had a mysterious background; although he was not a descendant of a Chang'an noble family, no one dared to underestimate him.

"Brother Daolei, according to what you mean, could this person be that Holy Monk, Xuanzang!" Li Bai said.

"Hmm. Besides him, who else can open their mouth and produce an Absolute verse for the ages!"

"Laughing aloud, I go out the door; how could we be people of the weeds!"

Daolei showed a look of admiration; if he had this level of skill, he wouldn't be short of money in the Jiaofangsi.

"It really is him!"

"What a pity, what a pity. I should have invited him for a drink, sigh!" Li Bai showed a look of regret.

On the other side, Xuanzang had already returned to his residence, but he had not expected to encounter Li Bai, the Immortal of Poetry.

According to logic, Li Bai should not have been born yet at this time; at the very least, there should be a difference of about a hundred years.

But thinking that this was, after all, a world with a mythological background and not real history, he felt relieved.

However, according to Xuanzang's observation, Li Bai at this time had a bit of Sword Qi on him and possessed some strength, but not much.

In history, Li Bai was proficient in both literature and martial arts and was known as a Sword Immortal.

Perhaps Li Bai practiced martial arts when he was young and had not yet changed his profession.

"Tsk tsk, this Jiaofangsi truly hides its secrets well; there are demonesses, there are future Sword Immortals, I wonder what else is hidden here."

Regarding this, Xuanzang's interest grew even stronger, and he felt more and more that coming to Chang'an was a wise decision.

"Ding, Playboy has started a Chat Group live broadcast!"

Suddenly, a notification sound came from the Chat Group.

In an instant, many group members joined the Live Broadcast Room, all wanting to see what kind of stunt Tony was pulling!

Xuanzang thought for a moment, then also cast his consciousness into it.

As the Live Broadcast Room opened, Tony's figure appeared before everyone.

In the broadcast, there were no high-rise buildings; it was an endless wilderness, with many tanks and military aircraft?

Playboy: "Ladies and gentlemen, what follows is the moment for the smartest, most talented, and greatest inventor in this group to defy the heavens."

Demon Queen: "Damn, what the hell are you doing? You're toxic!"

Demon King Who Never Suffers Defeat: "Popping in!"

Little Fairy of Peach Blossom Island: "Same here!"

Zui Ai He Shounai: "Wahahaha, this mustachioed uncle is so flashy!"

Han Paopao of the Seven Profound Sect: "Are these the group members? They look a bit impressive!!"

Pope of Spirit Hall: "Curious!"

Diviner: "Just a show-off!"

Scripture Seeker of Journey to the West: "Eating melon!"

Bad Commander: "Is this another world!"

Ye Fan Zhen Bu Hei: "So, Teacher Tony, why exactly did you start a live broadcast? To get a haircut?"

Playboy: "Nonono, everyone should have already seen this genius's Script; where I am now is the moment Iron Man is born! According to the Script given by the Group Owner, at this time I attend a weapons exhibition invited by the military, and then I get ambushed."

Diviner: "But you have already built the Steel Armor in advance, and have already caused the trajectory of fate to change! If anything goes wrong next, you cannot blame the Group Owner's Script for being incorrect."

Yan Shuangying said, still leaving herself a way out. She was not stupid; she had already guessed what Tony was going to do.

Demon Queen: "Just for this trivial matter? In our Chat Group, who hasn't defied the heavens or changed their fate! You're the only one with so much fuss, even doing a live broadcast."

Playboy: "Isn't this to build rapport with the newcomers and get familiar with them."

First Extraordinary Woman of the Yin-Yang School: "This palace thinks you mainly want to show off!"

Sect Master of Yunlan Sect: "Well said, satisfying your vanity."

Playboy: "There is that reason, but next I will perform a special skill for everyone: a real man never looks back at explosions!"

As the words fell, dozens of the latest weapons from Stark Industries behind Tony were launched simultaneously; artillery fire filled the sky, the distant mountain ranges were blasted flat, and waves of air swept toward him.

Tony spread his arms, wearing sunglasses, his face showing a calm expression.

Boom!
