Chapter 781
“Golden-headed Arhat?”
Jiang Chen was startled.
It was the Golden-headed Arhat from the First Heaven who had met Jiang Chen once when Jiang Chen destroyed Qingyu.
In the Lightless Realm, Jiang Chen had fought a great battle with the Ancient Buddha Clan.
I thought the Ancient Buddha Clan would be vindictive, but who knew that on the issue of Qingyu, the Ancient Buddha Clan actually sold Jiang Chen out.
Of course, the one who fought with Jiang Chen that year was the Infinite Buddha Realm, whose boss was Amitabha; and the Golden-headed Arhat came from the Posuo Buddha Realm, whose boss was Sakyamuni.
Although Jiang Chen was wary of the Ancient Buddha Clan’s unconventional moves, he had to appreciate it. After all, if you can make friends, try to make fewer enemies, unless there are big enough benefits. Only in this way can you get ahead in the battlefield of all races.
“Jiang has just ascended to heaven, and the Golden-headed Arhat has come to visit. It seems that he must have some advice!” Jiang Chen returned the greeting and said politely.
Li Shimin looked at the Golden Head Arhat with a vigilant look.
“I don’t deserve your advice!”
The Golden Head Arhat said with a smile:
“However, out of the mercy of the Buddha, the mission in the fifth heaven cannot be accomplished without great perseverance and wisdom, so I invite His Majesty the Emperor Jiang to join. Of course, the mission rewards are also very rich. As long as you complete the mission, according to the mission contribution, His Majesty the Emperor Jiang will not be far from advancing to eternity.”
Advance to eternity? ! !
Jiang Chen was shocked, and at the same time, the alarm bells in his heart rang.
For a mission that can advance to eternity, would the Ancient Buddha clan be so kind as to invite him to complete it together?
Li Shimin seemed to have thought of something, his face changed drastically, and he chatted privately:
“Brother Jiang Chen, you must not agree to it. I will explain the specific reason to you later.”
The Golden Head Arhat glanced at Li Shimin, as if he saw through Li Shimin’s little trick, but he didn’t care at all, and continued to smile:
“I will send the task to His Majesty Jiang Chen now, and His Majesty will know whether it is true or false at a glance.”
[Hint: The Golden Head Arhat has given you the task of “Go to the West to Obtain Scriptures.” ]
Go to the West to Obtain Scriptures?
Are you trying to make fun of me!
Jiang Chen complained while looking at the task description.
[Task background: The daughter of Zulong Jie Luo has profound Buddhist knowledge and is devoted to Buddhism. She wants to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in order to promote Buddhism. Now she needs four talented lords with deep Buddhist affinity to escort her along the way. To show her piety, all task participants must not ascend to the fifth heaven for more than one year. ]
[Task objective: Starting from the prosperous Tang Dynasty, without using any means of transmission, successfully escort the Dragon Girl to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West. You need to obtain the jade butterfly of the 81 territorial masters along the way. ]
[Task requirements: In order to protect the rights and interests of both parties in the task and prevent participants from deliberately sabotaging the task and harming the Dragon Girl, participants in the task must wear a golden hoop. After the task is completed, the golden hoop will be automatically removed. (Please refer to the specific terms for the rights and interests of both parties)]
[Task reward: 30 million Buddhist merits and virtues, improve the qualifications of the team to obtain scriptures, and the specific distribution depends on the contribution. ]
[Task time limit: 20 years. ]
[Failure penalty: None. ]
This…
Jiang Chen looked at the task description, and his expression became more and more strange.
Don’t even change the script?
I don’t know who the screenwriter is? It’s too perfunctory! !
Without Li Shimin’s reminder, Jiang Chen instantly realized the purpose of the ancient Buddha clan taking out such a big bait. After all, Jiang Chen had also read Journey to the West in his previous life.
Most likely, he wanted to make him a “Buddha” like he did when he conquered the monkey, and at the same time conquer the God Realm and strengthen the power of the Posuo Buddha Realm. Oh, maybe the future “Dragon Girl Buddha” is also one of the goals.
But… eternity!
This temptation is too great!
Jiang Chen’s qualifications can be ranked in the top three among the three middle schools in the East China Sea, and he is a favored child of heaven second only to An Chuxia.
But among the myriad races, it is nothing.
Even if he has a large amount of spiritual objects such as dragon teeth rice, before the decisive battle with the ancestor Saint King, he has no confidence in being promoted to eternity, let alone giving birth to a small world in his body.
And the present may be his biggest opportunity.
Thirty million Buddhist merits are thirty million crystals of divine power. If you save some, you can build ten most basic kingdoms of God.
Such a large budget is used to give the pilgrimage team a crown. It is really a big deal!
Although the task editor is only of mythical quality, it is a rule-based prop.
As long as one party issues the task and the other party accepts it, even powerful people of the level of the First Saint King, God, and the Worldly Self-free King Buddha cannot unilaterally break the contract.
Including task rewards, such as the 30 million merits used by the Ancient Buddha Clan for initiation, will be bound by the Heavenly Dao before the task is completed, automatically infused after the task is completed, and automatically released after the task fails, and used for other purposes.
So Jiang Chen does not have to worry about the Ancient Buddha Clan breaking their promise.
Even if he does not transfer to the Ancient Buddha Clan at that time, and the Buddhist merits cannot play a 100% effect, he canLet his qualifications soar to an incredible level.
This is an open conspiracy!
It is also a gamble of the Posuo Buddha Realm!
It seems that the ancient Buddha clan is very confident in their means of salvation!
Seeing Jiang Chen fall into deep thought, Jin Shou Luo smiled even more:
“Your Majesty, my Buddha is sincere, you can also consider it carefully. If you agree, just give me an answer within 10 days.”
Jiang Chen nodded: “I will consider it carefully!”
Jin Shou Luohan seemed to be very confident in the task conditions, and did not persuade him any more, and left directly.
The sudden appearance of the golden-headed arhat cast a shadow on the originally celebratory welcoming ceremony. Li Shimin, who had already guessed something, asked in a deep voice:
“Brother, tell me the truth. Did the ancient Buddha clan give you a task like escorting a monk to obtain scriptures?”
There is nothing to hide: “Indeed, escort my master to the West to obtain scriptures, and the reward can make my personal strength increase dramatically.”
Speaking of this, Jiang Chen smiled and said: “But unlike that monkey, my master seems to be a woman!”
“Female master? These bald donkeys are so despicable and flattering…ah, no, brother, I’m not saying you are lustful.”
Li Shimin explained insincerely , and then said in a hurry:
“Brother, you should know that the biggest goal of the Ancient Buddha Clan is not to obtain the scriptures, nor to promote Buddhism, but you.”
Jiang Chen smiled, and then asked curiously: “When Master Xuanzang went to obtain the scriptures in Journey to the West, my second brother seemed to have sent him off. I have also seen the precious videos left at that time. Why did you stop me?”
Li Shimin said unhappily: “Xuanzang is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and he is a great man of the Ancient Buddha Clan. Can I stop him? As for Sun Wukong, he is the strongest man of the Monkey Clan, and I can’t control him either! In this case, it is better to do a favor and sell the Ancient Buddha Clan one!”
Jiang Chen thought so.
Like the world, this is also in line with Li Shimin’s style of doing things.
Jiang Chen said solemnly: “Please rest assured, second brother, I know the wolfish ambitions of the Ancient Buddha Clan, and I will not let them succeed.”
“That’s good, that’s good!”
Li Shimin breathed a sigh of relief.
He believed in Jiang Chen very much.
After all, he could resist the temptation of God’s promise to directly promote him to a 12-winged angel, so it should be no problem to resist the temptation of the Ancient Buddha Clan.
Otherwise, if Jiang Chen really participated in some Journey to the West mission and was converted to Buddha by the Ancient Buddha Clan, not only would the Blue Star civilization lose the opportunity to soar to the sky, but it would even be a loss for the entire human race.
For those who become Buddhas, the four elements are empty.
Although they have advanced to eternity, they are no longer human.
Just like the Monkey King, who immediately abandoned his monkeys and grandchildren after becoming a Buddha. Even when Huaguo Mountain encountered a strong enemy and went to Lingshan for help, the Fighting Buddha only replied, “The birth and death of all things are free and fixed, and cannot be forced.”
If it weren’t for the demon clan’s Great Sage Ping Tian who came to the rescue out of old friendship, the monkey clan would have been wiped out…
Soon.
Li Shimin invited Jiang Chen and others to a banquet in the magnificent Taiji Palace.
Of course, although Li Shimin couldn’t stab him in the back, after all, his current level was too low, so Jiang Chen still used Yi Qi Hua San Qing to split an avatar in advance.
After three rounds of wine, Li Shimin suddenly stood up and dismissed all the servants, leaving only the backbones of the Divine Realm and the Great Tang.
“His Majesty Emperor Jiang ascended to the Great Tang, and the whole world celebrates. Taking this opportunity, I have a proposal…”
Seeing that he attracted everyone’s attention, Li Shimin said cautiously:
“The Blue Star civilization has been falling apart for a long time. Now His Majesty Emperor Jiang has emerged and has unified the sixth and seventh heavens, so I plan to merge the Great Tang into the Divine Realm. When His Majesty Emperor Jiang reaches the maximum level, we will help His Majesty Emperor Jiang unify the fifth heaven Blue Star Region. What do you think?”
