Li Nianfan smiled and said, "From the beginning, the ending of 'Journey to the West' has already been decided. Tang Sanzang being able to obtain the scripture is a foregone conclusion. It seems to be filled with trials and tribulations, but it's actually just a formality. Don't you think that the path to the Journey to the West has already been paved by someone?"
"The path has already been paved by someone?" The youth revealed a pondering expression, faintly feeling that something was wrong.
Li Nianfan continued, "Why don't I change my question. How many trials and tribulations do you think there are that can truly threaten the lives of the master and disciples?"
"This …"
The youth hesitated.
When he first heard of 'Journey to the West', he was immediately shocked. Since then, he didn't miss a single word. It could be said that he was very familiar with the plot.
At this moment, the 81 trials and tribulations flashed through his mind rapidly, but he discovered a problem that made him incomparably shocked.
Previously, no one had reminded him, so he didn't notice it. Now that Li Nianfan pointed it out, he couldn't help but feel that the 81 trials and tribulations weren't worth mentioning at all, because there were bodyguards everywhere.
Cultivators of our generation, if we take a wrong step, we might turn into ashes at any time. Compared to the trials and tribulations of cultivators, these 81 trials and tribulations were like children playing house.
If it couldn't threaten one's life, could it still be considered a trial?
Li Nianfan smiled slightly, "In my opinion, 'Journey to the West' is just a travel biography of Tang Sanzang starting from the East and going all the way to the West. It recorded everything he saw and heard, the local conditions and customs."
Boom!
The youth's entire body shook, then he sat back in his seat, his eyes lost focus.
His mouth moved, wanting to refute, but he didn't know where to start.
He recalled every scene over and over again. The more he thought, the more he felt his scalp tingle. It seemed that among all the tribulations, the biggest one came from Womanland?
At that time, Tang Sanzang's heart was shaken. He wanted to stay and didn't want to go and seek the scripture.
In other words, as long as Tang Sanzang was determined to go and seek the scripture, it was basically a foregone conclusion that he would succeed in his cultivation!
To put it more bluntly, others had already paved the way for you. As long as you worked hard and didn't indulge in eating, drinking, whoring, and gambling, you would be able to achieve good results.
Li Nianfan simplified and summarized in a simple sentence, "Although there were hardships, the Buddha had planned for 500 years. Not only did he arrange for Sun Wukong to escort us, but there were also various Bodhisattvas to answer questions along the way. Even the demons we encountered had immortal backgrounds. Although they said they were here to capture us, in fact, no one dared to do anything to Tang Sanzang. As for the small demons with no background, they were directly beaten to death."
If that was the case, Tang Sanzang was really here for a vacation.
However, if that was the case, the original inspirational path of learning the scriptures would turn into a leisure travel biography. The darkness in it even made the young man shudder involuntarily, and goosebumps rose all over his body.
Li Nianfan's eyes were also filled with emotions. Mr. Wu Chengen was indeed a great talent. There were too many hidden meanings in the "Journey to the West", and it was frightening to think about and couldn't help but sigh in admiration.
He sighed softly and said, "Look at this mortal society. If there is no immortal fate, the descendants of businessmen are mostly businessmen, farmers are mostly farmers, and officials are mostly officials. From birth, everything has long been invisibly predestined. How difficult is it to change one's social class? If a mortal wants to walk the path of immortality, it is as difficult as ascending to the heavens. But what about the second generation of immortal cultivators? "
In his previous life, he had a very deep understanding of this. The so-called growth and tempering of the second generation of rich people was nothing more than relying on their powerful parents to send them abroad for gilding. Search!
The young man's pupils could not help but expand rapidly, and his face was filled with disbelief. "This, this, this …"
Although Li Nianfan did not say everything, he had a deep feeling because he was the Tang Sanzang of the immortal cultivation world!
As the son of the Azure Valley Lord, he was the second generation of immortal cultivators that Mr. Wu spoke of. Wasn't the path of growth already paved long ago?
The so-called breakthrough of the bottleneck, the so-called trial of the Dao heart, and the so-called training outside, which one of them did not have anyone protecting him from behind? Even the demons that he killed during the trial were prepared by others. How could he have gone through so much hardship? This was simply a joke.
The young man slowly stood up. "Mr. Wu's words today are really enlightening. This meal, no matter what, should be treated by me!"
With that, he placed a string of spirit stones on the table. "I'll take my leave now."
His mind was still in a mess, and he was anxious to go back and digest what he had learned. Hence, he left in a hurry.
Looking at his back, Li Nianfan could not help but smile. This young man was really impatient, but he had a good heart.
He picked up the spiritual power on the table and weighed it in his hand.
It was great to be able to get to know a rich man, and he could even get a reward. "Little Daji, you're rich now. Today, I'll take you shopping and see if there's anything that catches your eye."
Azure Valley.
It was located at the foot of the mountain behind the mountain. The terrain was very special, but it was well hidden.
It was hidden by trees and mountains, and it was also blocked by natural barriers. Only immortal cultivators could reach it.
Qin Manyun was in a courtyard in Azure Valley. Her brows were slightly furrowed, as if she had something on her mind.
Opposite her sat a beautiful young lady in a long green dress. Her appearance was not inferior to Qin Manyun's at all. Her hair was black like ink, her skin was like jade, and her eyes were beautiful. Her every frown and smile revealed an indescribable charm.
Probably because she was older than Qin Manyun, she had a dignified temperament.
The two women sat in the garden, but they became the two most beautiful flowers, overshadowing the surrounding flowers.
The dignified young lady smiled and looked around. "Little Sister Manyun, your teacher is blessed by the heavens. I think she will be able to turn misfortune into blessing and safely pass through the Tian Death."
Qin Manyun sighed softly. "I wanted to ask your father about the tribulation. What a pity."
The dignified young lady comforted her. "Don't worry. When my father is done with the Azure Demon Lockdown Ceremony, I will personally bring you to see him. When that time comes, if Uncle Qin can successfully break through to the Tribulation Stage, it will be something worth celebrating."
"Thank you, Big Sister Ziyao." Qin Manyun looked at Gu Ziyao gratefully and asked curiously, "This time, Uncle Gu actually invited all the Tribulation Stage cultivators in your valley. Did something happen to the Azure Demon Lockdown Ceremony?"
Gu Ziyao pondered for a moment and said, "You also know that the seal of the Azure Demon Lockdown Ceremony will only get weaker. Every time it erupts, it is actually a weakening. After so many years, you can imagine the remaining strength of the seal. And … in the past two days, for some reason, the seal suddenly loosened to its limit. Even my father was shocked."
"How could this be? Did something happen in the past two days? "Qin Manyun could not help but frown.
Gu Ziyao shook her head, revealing a worried expression. "I'm not sure, but I vaguely heard my father say that there was some kind of change in the world. I don't know if it is good or bad."
