Teaching disciples in Jade Flower Prefecture (22)

Humans eat grains and other foods, and naturally possess Seven Emotions and Six Desires. How could a mere mortal, without the destiny to become an immortal or a saint, not be moved by them?

Moreover, the Third Prince is different from the Eldest Prince and Second Prince. The Eldest Prince and Second Prince are different; one possesses the Immortal Breath of a great immortal, and the other radiates the Jewel Light of a Mani treasure. They have already undergone a complete transformation and are extraordinary.

The Third Prince had only one Breathing Technique, which he practiced day and night, working extremely hard. Now, seeing the opportunity to become an immortal, his resolve was further shaken.

However, despite this, the Third Prince had his own thoughts. He carefully recalled the words of the "sacred one" just now, and the four characters "loyalty, Loyalty, Filial Piety, Benevolence, and Righteousness" settled in his mind. After a deep consideration, he restrained his greed and bowed:

"O True Lord! I have a teacher! My teacher taught me the art of breathing exercises and has been very kind to me. How can I betray him? Even if my teacher agrees to let me join another religion, there should be proper etiquette and order. How can I disregard propriety and bow down to another religion for the sake of opportunity? If I really do such a thing, I'm sure His Holiness will not accept me!"

Ao Tu shook his head and chuckled. He possessed the Mind Reading, and the Third Prince's thoughts could not be hidden from him in the slightest.

Ao Tu laughed and said, "You, young king, are certainly intelligent, regardless of your loyalty and filial piety."

Upon hearing this, the Third Prince broke out in a cold sweat and kowtowed repeatedly.

Ao Tu said, "I don't need you to become my disciple. You still believe in the Buddhist Sect, but you must promise to respect my teachings. If you are unable to resolve your own difficulties, my teachings' messenger will guide you after your death. How about that?"

The Third Prince hurriedly replied, "I will obey True Lord's command!"

Ao Tu gently waved his hand and said, "Come back! Come back! Come back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Taoist Taiqian and Taoist Baoshan arrived riding on auspicious Auspicious Light.

When the Eldest Prince and Second Prince saw the immortal arrive, they hurriedly brought their entourages over as well.

Bai Ze and the other lions also rushed over.

The Old King had heard that a divine being had descended outside, so he dragged his ailing body out as well.

Upon seeing the three figures in the Heaven, the Eldest Prince exclaimed, "Taiqian Master Taiqian, who are these people?"

The Taoist Taiqian did not respond.

The Second Prince exclaimed, "Immortal Baoshan, this must be an accomplice that my Third Younger Brother has somehow managed to find!"

Taoist Baoshan also ignored it.

The two Taoist Ao Tu bowed slightly and greeted Ao Tu, "Fellow Daoist!"

Ao Tu smiled lightly, and the two Taoist transformed into pure energy and returned to their own bodies. It was then that Ao Tu's head was surrounded by Daoist energy, Buddha Aura, demonic energy, Dragon Qi, divine Divine Light, and a powerful aura that stretched for Three Thousand, reaching the Tongtian and the earth.

Wukong realized what was happening, scratching his head in anger, jumping and scrambling, baring his teeth and shouting, "Ah! You tricked Old Sun again!"

The Eldest Prince, Second Prince, and Third Prince, unaware of the supernatural Supernatural Ability of the Immortal Household, were all puzzled.

Old King asked, "Immortal Household, what is the meaning of this?"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "These are all my Incarnation. When I came to this city before, I saw that the Royal Qi was waning and Three Hidden Dragons dragons were lying dormant. Therefore, I set up this test so that I could meet the True King."

Upon hearing this, the Eldest Prince and Second Prince collapsed to the ground, looking dazed.

The Third Prince was overjoyed.

Old King bowed and said, "Thank you, Immortal Household, for helping me select a virtuous and capable person. I am now at ease."

Ao Tu said, "Your time is near, and it is inconvenient to change it. I will remove your illness and let you enjoy your old age in peace."

After saying this, he raised his hand and pointed, and Old King's illnesses were completely cured, and he was healthy and strong again.

Old King bowed and thanked him.

The three Prince knelt together, thanking Ao Tu for curing their Father King's illness.

Upon seeing Bajie, Pigsy sneered:

"When he was seriously ill, he was only concerned with vying for power and didn't care for me at all. Now that he's recovered, he's rushing to kneel and kowtow, uttering words of gratitude. He's truly not a human being!"

The Eldest Prince and Second Prince were so ashamed by what Bajie said that they dared not refute him.

Wukong suddenly remembered something and said, "Wait! Wait! Isn't that Taoist Baoshan Taixi's Taixi brother? How could he be your Incarnation? Could it be..."

Ao Tu laughed and said, "That's right! That's right! Bao Shan is me! Taiqian is me! You is me! Buzheng is me! Taixi is me! Dao is me! Buddha is me! Demon is me! God is me! Saint is me!"

Upon hearing this, the onlookers, both commoners and officials, knelt down and kowtowed.

Ao Tu then summoned Bai Ze to come forward.

Bai Ze transformed into a goat and knelt beneath the Golden Lotus.

Upon seeing this, the lions bowed and said, "True Lord take us with you! We are willing to be your pawns!"

Ao Tu said, "You Lion Beast were destined to die. But I saw that you were diligently cultivating and had never eaten humans, showing your kindness, so I averted your calamity and saved you. Come! Come!"

Having said this, he summoned Gourd from the Blood Sea and collected all the lions and other demons, as well as the Little Demon who had died earlier, into the Gourd. He then addressed the people, saying, "Those who believe in my teachings will be reborn in the Good Realm after death and enjoy paradise."

The people bowed in reverence once more.

Ao Tu then prepared to leave.

Bajie said, "Wait! Wait! There's still a lawsuit to be fought!"

Ao Tu asked, "What case?"

Bajie said, "The Second Prince owes me a thousand gold pieces!"

Tang Sanzang quickly pulled Bajie away with his hands.

Bajie said, "Master, why are you pulling me? That was my Old Pig, I'll give him Jewel Light power and sell him for a thousand gold pieces!"

Ao Tu laughed, "Indeed! Indeed! Bajie, you've never been to Spirit Mountain, and you've lost money in business. With your legacy, your descendants will have no money to enjoy!"

Bajie exclaimed happily, "Our Buddhism are correct!"

Tang Sanzang helplessly clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha Buddha."

The Second Prince said, "I'll have someone bring the money right away."

Ao Tu said, "No need. Since you have betrayed your master, you should return the divine power he bestowed upon you, and from then on, you will owe each other nothing."

As soon as he spoke, the magic came true. A wisp of Immortal Breath emerged from the Eldest Prince's chest, and a beam of Jewel Light flew from the Second Prince's head, returning to Wukong and Bajie's hands respectively.

The two Prince turned back into Mortal, raised their hands and feet but showed no strength, and their faces turned ashen.

Ao Tu departed with Nezha, Red Boy, and Bai Ze.

After this matter was concluded, from then on, from the royal Jade Flower Prefecture, no one worshipped Buddha or Daoism, but only the "Great Sect" and believed in True Lord. But that is a story for later, and we will not mention it for now.

After bidding farewell to Old King, Tang Sanzang and his disciples embarked on their Journey to the West, passing through Jade Flower Prefecture a few days later.

Ao Tu, along with Nezha and Red Boy, went straight to the Heavenly Realm. He first sent Red Boy to the Golden Ox Star Palace.

Nezha, on the other hand, was very clingy and refused to leave.

Ao Tu originally intended to send him away by telling him that Heavenly King Li must be worried since he hadn't returned to the Cloud Tower Palace for a long time, and to tell him to go back and check on things first.

Nezha sneered, "If they were truly in a hurry, how could there be no movement in the Heaven?" He then said to Ao Tu, "I'll go with you to the Flower Realm and get me some good fruits and Immortal Wine. You haven't even thanked me for dressing up as your page for so long!"

Ao Tu laughed and said, "I'm going to Yaochi."

Nezha asked in confusion, "What are we going to Yaochi for?"

Ao Tu said, "You wouldn't know even if I told you."

Nezha crossed his arms and said, "Tch, what do you mean I don't know?"

Ao Tu then pulled him over and whispered a few words in his ear.

Upon hearing this, Nezha blushed and quickly looked away.
