Chapter 1983: Tiger eyes shed tears, the Daoist heart is clear

The King of Chechi smiled and scanned Tang Seng and his disciples, saying, "Holy Monk, I will issue a decree tomorrow to lift the forced labor of the monks and rebuild the destroyed temples. Are you satisfied?"

Tang Seng nodded slightly, a smile on his face, and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Immediately, the King of Chechi said, "It is getting late. Why don't you all rest in my palace tonight? I will arrange for the servants to prepare a vegetarian banquet and fine guest rooms."

Tang Seng still wore a smile, held one palm vertically by his lips, and said, "There is no need for fine guest rooms; as long as they are clean, it will suffice."

Marshal Tianpeng, hearing the words "vegetarian banquet," was already drooling. He complained slightly, "Oh my, we have been debating magic for a whole day; my stomach is truly about to starve!"

These words made everyone in the palace laugh out loud, and the King of Chechi also said, "Don't worry, there will definitely be enough food tonight!"

So, the King of Chechi waved his hand, ordered everyone to withdraw, and then instructed a few servants to prepare guest rooms for Tang Seng and his disciples.

Great Immortal Huli looked up at the towering Three Pure Ones Daoist Temple, then went back to look at the bodies of his second and third junior brothers. His second brother was decapitated, and his third brother was scorched yellow by the explosion.

A shimmer of light seemed to move in his eyes, and he let out a long sigh.

In this grand palace courtyard, the crowd had all dispersed. Only he remained, looking up at the bright moon in the sky, and he muttered to himself, "Yuanshi Tianzun is above. We three brothers were born from the same root. We have worshipped daily, not daring to have any negligence."

"Now... I would like to ask Yuanshi Tianzun one thing: have you ever acknowledged my two ill-fated brothers as your disciples?"

In the sky, a bright moon still hung high. The two animal corpses lay casually on the marble floor of the palace. The atmosphere looked exceptionally eerie, and the night, because of the moonlight, was permeated with a faint blue glow.

Great Immortal Huli did not receive any response from Yuanshi Tianzun. At this moment, several guards ran up to clean up the bodies of Great Immortal Luli and Great Immortal Yangli. He suddenly felt that everything was like a dream.

If he said he had no feelings of attachment, that would certainly be a lie. They had lived in the same forest since they were animals and had a very good friendship.

And from demons, they cultivated into human forms, and finally received the enlightenment of Daoist arts, which led to their achievements today. Now that both junior brothers were dead, leaving him alone, his eyes actually showed some loneliness.

"My second brother once said that Daoist scriptures are useless things and do not improve one's cultivation at all."

"My third brother also said that as long as he could improve his cultivation, he would do anything he wanted."

"But I deeply believe in what the Daoist scriptures say: 'The Dao that can be told is not the eternal Dao.' I believe in the state of 'non-action,' but why did you two just not listen to my advice?"

After Great Immortal Huli finished this sentence, the tiger eyes under his thick brows narrowed slightly, and a tear fell.

It is true; perhaps others would not understand. The three of them had supported each other and cultivated for how many years? If one were to calculate, it should be over three thousand years.

It was truly not easy for them to reach their current cultivation level. They had originally thought they could continue cultivating like this, but who knew that the visit of Tang Seng and his disciples... ===== CHAPTER 1985 =====
