Rescue the Bhikshu Kingdom (I)
After a long while, Ao Tu dressed and came out of the house.
Upon seeing this, Xiao Zhenying exclaimed happily, "Master, you've rested well! Where are Sister Jiangzhu and Sister Apricot Immortal?"
Ao Tu laughed and said, "They are very tired and have fallen asleep inside. Don't disturb them."
Xiao Zhenying nodded and said, "Master, can you teach me alchemy?"
Ao Tu patted Xiao Zhenying's hair and said, "Another day, I have something to do today."
Xiao Zhenying could only lower her head and say, "Okay."
Ao Tu then descended to the Lower Realm.
On the way, Ao Tu thought about what was happening on the other side of the Good Corpse.
He wanted to transform the barren Northwestern Two Lands and create the Human Race to offset the wickedness of his Self Corpse. After all, although Self was cruel to living beings, if those beings were his own creations, some cruelty would be understandable. The Merit he gained from creating the world would outweigh the karmic consequences he had committed.
Regarding the creation of the Human Race, we need to consult with the Nuwa Palace.
In addition to creating the Human Race in the Northwestern Two Lands, he also wanted to improve the soil and water of the Northwestern Two Lands.
Ao Tu had previously seen the desolate and barren landscapes of Northern Utarakuru and Western Ox Continent through the lens of Good Corpse.
Using the words "water and soil" to describe these two lands is actually quite an exaggeration.
These two plots of land can only be described as soil; as for water, it is so scarce as to be almost invisible and not worth mentioning. Most of the creatures living there are Ancient Times Desolate Beast, and ordinary creatures would find it extremely difficult to survive on that land.
The best solution Ao Tu could think of to improve this situation was to invite the three Ancient Times tribes.
The dragon governs aquatic creatures, the Phoenix governs birds, Qilin governs beasts.
These three are all auspicious beasts that can improve the environment of Heaven and Earth, turning barren lands into Blessed Land Cave Heaven.
It just so happens that Ao Tu is of Dragon Race origin, so he plans to go outside the Nuwa Palace to ask the three races for help.
Furthermore, matters concerning land also require a trip to the Underworld to consult the Empress Houtu.
Whether it's improving the lands of the two continents or creating the Human Race, the Merit gained is immense, and Ao Tu cannot possibly claim it all by himself. Moreover, it would be difficult for one person to accomplish it alone.
However, at this moment, Ao Tu calculated that Tang Sanzang and his disciples would soon arrive at the Bhikshu Kingdom, so he Lower Realm to the Bhikshu Kingdom first to collect the Twelve Years ' worth of rewards and obtain the Chaos Bell.
The matters Northwestern Two Lands are of great importance, subtly related to his the Path, and cannot be accomplished overnight; there is no need to rush them.
In a short while, Ao Tu arrived in the Lower Realm and first found the White Bone Spirit and the others.
The White Bone Spirit's arm has fully grown back; her body, made of Fifth-Grade Black Lotus root, is indeed extraordinary.
The matter of the Bhikshu Kingdom was not complicated. Ao Tu had always liked the innocence and cuteness of children, so he did not want to help the Deer Spirit that ate children. He simply led his demons to occupy Qinghua Manor on Willow Grove Slope and set up the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation to block Tang Sanzang and his disciples.
With the unfurling of the Sun-Moon Banner, a horde of demons was swept up, and in no time they arrived in the Bhikshu Kingdom.

[Current Progress: Three Thousand days]
Ao Tu glanced at all the refreshed rewards. Nothing else stood out, except for the three-year reward, the "Gratitude Bag." The name gave him a familiar feeling, as if he himself had chosen it...
In fact, the treasure that the Self Corpse Attainment of the Dao, the treasure that embodies the Self, is also a bag.
However, that object exuded Evil Qi energy; it was crafted from the skins of billions of living beings A Great Continent, making it a truly Baleful Qi Treasure. It couldn't possibly be associated with Merit Treasure...
Ao Tu thought for a while, then stopped thinking about it.
Anyway, he can get the treasure even if he does nothing, and he'll know what it is once he gets it.
Ao Tu stood on the Bhikshu Kingdom and looked down. He saw no Purple Qi in the city, but there was a faint Purple Qi lingering in the villages outside the city.
Ao Tu was puzzled, so he looked south again and saw a clear stream seventy miles south of the city, with thousands of Willow on both banks. He thought that must be the place called Willow Grove Slope.
Ao Tu then went to the willow grove, released the demons, and with a flick of his hand, Cave Heaven the Qinghua Manor.
But the blessed land was dark and deserted. Weeds grew everywhere, stone paths were covered in dust, benches were covered in moss, and vines climbed over pavilions. Bees built their nests under the eaves, and snakes and rats made burrows in the halls.
The White Bone Spirit said, "Your Great King, this place has been uninhabited for a long time!"
Ao Tu said, "Who among you will drive away these snakes and insects and clean up the mess?"
A Feiniu stepped forward; it was Ao Tu's Ninth Younger Brother brother, with a single eye on its head, emitting Plague Qi that drove away all snakes, insects, rats, and ants.
The demons then cleaned the manor.
The Scorpion Demon entered the house, and upon seeing something, pulled Ao Tu inside, saying, "Your Great King, come with me."
Ao Tu went inside and found a small hut with a bed for women to lie on, as well as an erotic screen.
The Scorpion Demon lay on top of her, displaying her allure, and said, "Your Great King, you must be exhausted from setting up battles twice. Now that you have nothing to do, let me serve you with some pleasure!"
Upon hearing this, Ao Tu sighed and slapped her, saying, "Get up now! This place is so filthy, who knows how many people have used it. Tear it down immediately!"
Upon hearing this, the Scorpion Demon got up and reluctantly tugged at Ao Tu's sleeve.
Ao Tu said, "You've defeated several Bodhisattva, and you're even a female Demon King in the outside world. Why are you always thinking about that kind of thing?"
The Scorpion Demon said, "It is by nature of me. If I were to unite with Your Great King, our offspring would surely inherit Your Great King's bloodline."
Ao Tu said, "If you're after offspring, you've chosen the wrong person. I am Primordial Divine Saints deity; even if we were to mate, it would be difficult to have children."
The Scorpion Demon said, "I admire Your Great King's methods. Even without children, I am willing to follow Your Great King."
Ao Tu shook his head and said, "Go and arrange for the demons to stay. This Qinghua Manor was Cave Heaven occupied by that Deer Spirit; it shouldn't be so desolate. There's something strange about it. I'll go outside and take a look."
The Scorpion Demon then agreed.
Ao Tu walked out of the Qinghua Manor and headed outside.
Meanwhile, after leaving Lion Camel Ridge, Tang Sanzang and his disciples traveled for half a year before finally arriving in the Bhikshu Kingdom.
Tang Sanzang saw a city in the distance and asked, "Disciples, what do you think that is ahead? Is it Royal City or a prefecture?"
Wukong looked at it and said, "Master, it's a prefecture or county."
Tang Sanzang said, "I see that the city covers a vast area and has a dignified shape, unlike a prefecture or county; it must be Royal City."
Wukong laughed and said, "Master, you don't know. Every Royal City must have King, and there will be five-colored clouds and Purple Qi mist rising from it. Now there is no Purple Qi in this city, so it is a prefecture. It must be a wealthy place, hence the city is very large."
Bajie said, "Whether it's the Royal City or a prefecture, if it's the Royal City, we'll go and exchange our travel documents and ask the King for some good food; if it's a prefecture, we can ask the governor for some too. At least we'll have a good meal. These past few days, we've been eating in the rain and Old Pig, and my stomach has been growling with hunger!"
Wukong laughed and said, "Let's go! Let's go!"
