Volume 3: The World of the Lotus Lantern Chapter 22: World Treasure: Lotus Lantern
Yang Chan was startled when she heard this, and subconsciously covered her waist, looking at Jia Le with a vigilant look.
"True Lord, you're going through so much trouble, aren't you just trying to get my Precious Lotus Lantern?"
Ao Tingxin had an expression of "I see". Even Xiao Jinwu began to look puzzled. They felt that it was entirely possible. After all, this was the Precious Lotus Lantern, an innate-level magic weapon. There were only a few of them in the entire world . It was normal for Jiale to covet the Precious Lotus Lantern.
Jiale looked at the expressions of the others and suddenly felt sad.
He covered his chest and said, "I have planned so much for you, but you actually doubted me. Forget it, to prove my innocence, I will find a place for you for free."
Um!
Seeing Jiale's expression, everyone was stunned again. After hesitating for three seconds, San Shengmu suddenly felt that she might have really wronged Jiale. After all, everything Jiale said just now didn't sound false. What's more, Jiale was a direct descendant of Shangqing and was not in any danger. He should not be willing to plot against his Precious Lotus Lantern.
Besides, Jiale is a person of status after all. He can't do such a tasteless thing. How can he live like a human being if he shows off his clothes?
Thinking of this, the Third Holy Mother actually felt a little guilty.
After all, they have taken great pains to help you, and you still doubt them. That is really unfair of you.
"I'm sorry, Master. That's not what I meant."
As he said this, he took out the Precious Lotus Lantern and handed it to Jia Le. "Here, I'll give it to you now. Just like you said, I can't take this kind of thing lightly. I'll keep the Precious Lotus Lantern with you temporarily. When this calamity is over , you can return it to me."
Even though the Third Holy Mother seems to have lived for a long time, she really doesn't have many friends within the Three Realms.
Apart from Yang Jian and Nezha, there are only three close friends left.
At this time, Yang Chan also guessed who the person behind the scenes might be. If that was the case, she naturally could not go to find her three best friends. If she implicated them, Yang Chan would not be able to bear it.
As for Yang Jian, he already had enough trouble. If she disturbed him again, it would be immature of her to do so.
As for Nezha, it’s better not to talk about him.
Looking at it this way, it would be most appropriate to accept Jiale's kindness.
Jia Le was a little surprised when he saw Yang Chan taking out the Precious Lotus Lantern. This was an innate magic weapon, the most advanced treasure in the world, and she could have been taken out just like that.
To be honest, Jiale didn't want to covet this treasure, he was just curious about what was so magical about the Precious Lotus Lantern.
"Well! In that case, I will accept it reluctantly. Don't worry, after you escape the disaster, I will return it to its original owner."
Jiale took the Precious Lotus Lantern and examined it carefully.
The lamp is nine inches high and pure white, just like ice and snow. It is shaped like a blooming lotus, as big as a bowl. The lotus core is the wick. The azure blue wick gives Jiale a special feeling, as if it is the core of the whole lotus lantern.
The magic power was transferred into the Precious Lotus Lantern, and the soul immediately attached itself to it. Soon Jia Le knew the function of the Precious Lotus Lantern, which was not much different from what was described in the TV series.
It seems that it is not the ancient spiritual treasure, but something unique to this world. The power to activate it is not magic power, but an extremely kind power. Only by activating it can it shake the world and reverse the universe. Well, to put it simply, it is love, great love. Loving one person may not be able to activate it, but loving the whole world will make you invincible.
Let me put it this way, it is not only usable by monks, but if it falls into the hands of ordinary people, with great love in their hearts, they can also unleash some of its power.
To summarize the functions, first: As a treasure of great love, it is naturally the nemesis of all evil. Holding this treasure, once someone has evil thoughts about it, they will be hurt by it, and the stronger the evil thoughts, the greater the power it can inspire.
2. The Lotus Lantern has seven petals in total, which can emit seven-color light to create dreams. For those who enter the dream, the Lotus Lantern will spontaneously guide their lives.
Three: Each petal can transform into any form to protect its owner. It is spiritual, will recognize its owner, and will never be damaged. It can also heal any injuries and restore all the abilities and skills of the injured.
4: It can also inspire all human potential. The simplest point is that in a crisis, holding the Precious Lotus Lantern, you may be able to directly exert abilities several times or even dozens of times beyond your own and suddenly burst out, which is a necessary skill for most protagonists in novels and TV shows.
5: If the owner of the magic lamp is really dead, the Precious Lotus Lantern will automatically absorb his soul to protect and prolong their soul. The most amazing thing is that the Precious Lotus Lantern can help the owner come back to life. As long as his body turns left 9981 times and right 9981 times, he can be resurrected. Not only the owner, but also other people the owner of the magic lamp can do it. Of course, they cannot be those who are dead.
However, the resurrection process is very rigorous and the number of circles is very particular. If the number of circles is not enough or too many, the resurrection may not be possible, or the soul may be wrongly replaced, and the process must start over before recovery.
6: The Precious Lotus Lamp, which was born out of great love, can wash away all the filth in the world.
7: The Precious Lotus Lantern can lead everything in the world to any place. What does that mean? It means that if you want to go somewhere but don’t know how to get there, just tell it and the Precious Lotus Lantern will take you there.
8: The Precious Lotus Lantern can give its owner a warning by luminous light, and its intensity represents the degree of danger.
Nine: After all, it is an ability. If you have to do it desperately, swallow the wick of the Precious Lotus Lantern, and you will immediately possess ten thousand years of magic power. Well, you will directly become a Golden Immortal, which is more useful than Laozi's golden elixir. Of course, the wick is the key to the Precious Lotus Lantern. Without the wick, the Precious Lotus Lantern will become a useless lamp. Unless it is absolutely necessary, it is better not to do such a wasteful thing.
The highest realm of using the Precious Lotus Lantern is "the unity of man and lamp". It can become one with the successor. Once the wick is lost, it can be reignited by using the blood of the person who eats the wick or by the person who turns into the wick of the Precious Lotus Lantern. After the mission is completed, if it is summoned with sincerity, the Precious Lotus Lantern after "the unity of man and lamp" can be restored. That is to say, the person who turns into the wick of the Precious Lotus Lantern can also restore his human form and separate from the wick of the Precious Lotus Lantern and return to its original place.
Good baby, good baby.
This Precious Lotus Lantern is simply amazing. It is reasonable to say that it is a treasure of the world. With this treasure, it is completely possible to kill enemies at higher levels.
It may be an exaggeration to say that it is omnipotent, but it is not far off.
Just think about it, if you can kill people directly and then resurrect them, what else is impossible? It's like cheating.
However, the use of the Precious Lotus Lantern is not without its drawbacks.
The Precious Lotus Lantern does not require much magical power, and only people with great love can use it, and that is just a condition. The rare thing is that after using the Precious Lotus Lantern, the Precious Lotus Lantern will take away a part of the user's lust, and the user's so-called great love will also turn into nutrients for the Precious Lotus Lantern as it is used.
Jiale even thought that if he used it too much, he might become a machine without passion.
Yeah! It's the way of heaven.
No wonder the Third Holy Mother rarely uses it. She must be afraid of such consumption. Perhaps there is some deeper meaning. As Jia Le has not yet refined the Precious Lotus Lantern, there is no way of knowing.
However, its merits outweigh its flaws. It is still a powerful treasure. In the face of life and death, those minor side effects can be ignored.
Besides, is Jiale the kind of person who would take something and not return it? He just used it for a period of time, and it wouldn’t suck away the love of someone as loving as Jiale.
"True Lord!"
"True Lord!"
…
Seeing Jiale staring at the Precious Lotus Lantern without moving, with a little glistening on the corners of his mouth, San Shengmu couldn't help but feel a little scared, wondering if he was really sending a sheep into the tiger's mouth.
Ao Tingxin even pulled at the corner of Third Holy Mother's clothes. She had also heard Third Holy Mother talk about some of the incredible functions of the Precious Lotus Lantern. Who wouldn't be tempted by it? And yet Third Holy Mother just handed it over like that. Now she was reminding Third Holy Mother to come back quickly.
Jia Le came back to his senses upon hearing the voice. He was somewhat out of control. He straightened himself up and put away the Precious Lotus Lantern.
It must be said that it is somewhat of a waste that the Precious Lotus Lantern is with Yang Chan. If it is in his hands, Jia Le can clear out all the demons and monsters in this world without even needing to become a Golden Immortal and bring peace back to the world.
Jiale felt that he absolutely loved it and there was nothing wrong with using the Lotus Lantern.
"Well, Third Holy Mother, the place I've chosen for you is the Overseas Three Immortal Islands. What do you think?"
Overseas Three Immortal Islands!
The Third Holy Mother suddenly understood. She heard that Jiale had a very good relationship with the Three Goddesses of the Sky. The Three Immortals Island was an important place of the Shangqing lineage. The Three Goddesses of the Sky were rare people with great magical powers in the three realms, especially Goddess Yunxiao, who had basically no rivals. If she went to the Three Immortals Island, no one could do anything to her. No matter how powerful the Buddhist sect was, they dared to provoke the Three Goddesses of the Shangqing lineage, even if they had three courages. Nezha's master trembled when he heard the name Yunxiao.
But looking at the Precious Lotus Lantern that has disappeared, Jiale should be able to trust it.
"Okay, I'll follow your instructions. However, I have a duty to serve Huashan. If I am away for too long, the Emperor will surely be furious."
"This is not difficult, Your Highness. Thank you for your help."
Xiao Jinwu did not refuse. To him, this matter was just a trivial matter. The position of the Holy Mother of Mount Hua for San Shengmu was actually somewhat decorative. It was purely a position created by the Jade Emperor to arrange for San Shengmu. It didn't matter whether she was there or not. For Xiao Jinwu's face, it was just a matter of a word.
"I wandered around for a long time this time. After dealing with this matter, I went back to the Sun Star. I gained a little, but I still need to retreat for a while."
Jiale was a little surprised when he heard this.
Could it be that this knot in my heart is really going to be resolved?
But this is a good thing, so Jiale is naturally happy.
"Thank you, Tenth Brother."
Since the plan was decided, Little Golden Crow did not delay any longer and left the Holy Mother Palace directly. Jia Le glanced at the Third Holy Mother and Ao Tingxin and felt that there was no need to waste any more time here.
"Let's set off as well. We still need to go to Jinling. One of my fellow apprentices also needs to go to Sanxian Island. Let's pick him up and go together."
The Third Holy Mother naturally had no objection, and Ao Tingxin quickly agreed. She had originally come from the East China Sea to find the Third Holy Mother, but she didn't expect to have to go back so soon.
Outside Jinling City, Qingyun Temple.
Qing Yunzi found that he seemed to have recognized a fake senior brother. Just after he recognized his senior brother, Jiale disappeared. He finally came back, but happened to encounter such a bad thing as Dong Yong, and then his senior brother was gone again. Now his senior brother is already a fourth-rank Sun Lord in the Heavenly Court, and the adopted son of the Jade Emperor, in addition to his status as a member of the Shangqing lineage.
No, I'm afraid I can't call him senior brother now. Senior brother is the fourth generation disciple of the Shangqing lineage, and he, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten... I won't count anymore, he has suddenly become an ancestor.
Brother, I hope you haven't forgotten him.
Just when Qing Yunzi was worried about gains and losses, Jia Le, Yang Chan and Ao Tingxin, finally entered Jinling City.
The three of them walked all the way here. The distance from Huashan to Qingyun Temple was not short, so the three of them traveled along the way and it took them two full months.
The Third Holy Mother and Ao Tingxin never had such an opportunity before.
The Third Holy Mother is a homebody. Apart from her three best friends and Yang Jian's place, she has basically never been anywhere else. She stays at the Holy Maiden Palace and has severe social phobia.
As for traveling and sightseeing, it is even more impossible. Even gods are not as leisurely as imagined.
What's more, just like what the gods said, among mortals, in the red dust, lust can blind one and easily disturb one's mind, be contaminated by cause and effect, and ruin one's practice. Unless it is necessary, it is better for gods and humans to maintain an absolute distance. You see, those gods who have problems basically do not follow this rule, and they desire to be mortals and act in mortal ways. In the end, their practice is ruined because of worldly affairs.
The laws of heaven stand majestically.
It is common for male immortals to fall in love with mortal beauties, and for female immortals to fall in love with mortal scholars. Even monsters are no exception, let alone gods.
Ao Tingxin was not much better off. Although she had not been granted a formal position, the task of raising clouds and rain was enough to keep her busy on weekdays. Even if she had some free time, it was either with Brother Donghai Long or between her three best friends. She had the best relationship with Yang Chan, and spent most of her time hanging out with Yang Chan.
They have never seen or experienced anything like this in the mortal world.
This time, after following Jiale and hearing his insights, they felt that Jiale was extremely reliable and that they should be safe following Jiale, so they had fun and had no worries along the way. In fact, Jiale did not get the Precious Lotus Lantern in vain, as this small class was directly extended to extracurricular practice expansion.
Along the way, Jiale imparted knowledge to the two of them, explaining almost all the 1,008 scams to them, and also provided actual cases. The two of them felt that people were treacherous and it was better to stay away from them as soon as possible, especially men, especially scholars. Now, whenever a scholar appears, their first reaction is definitely to stay away from him.
After Jiale's rendering, the two of them are no longer blank slates.
All the way to the foot of Qingyun Mountain, the two were still not satisfied.
But they were happy, but Liu Yanchang was depressed. He had already lived in the Holy Mother Palace for two months. According to Buddhist psychology experts, with the temperament of the Third Holy Mother, she should have come out to see him long ago, and there should have been friction. But now, she just ignored him and there was no movement at all .
This is totally abnormal.
Did he leave for something? He hasn't come back recently.
However, since this is related to the great cause of Buddhism, Liu Yanchang is no ordinary person, otherwise he would not have been sent to carry out such a serious task.
It's only been two months, there's no rush, he'll just waste time here. He doesn't believe that with his ability, plus the support of the entire Buddhist community, he can't win over a little girl as gentle as a blank sheet of paper?
After all, Yang Chan is the niece of the Jade Emperor. Although this relationship may not be valued by the Jade Emperor, being Yang Jian's sister is also serious enough. So before becoming an ordinary person, Liu Yanchang had already, under the planning of the Buddhist sect, eliminated his cultivation and all traces. Now he just has a normal person's body but an extraordinary brain.
Liu Yanchang, who did not have many means, simply appointed himself a temple priest of the Holy Maiden Palace and started to set up a stall in front of the palace, ready to share the worries of the Three Holy Mothers. As time went by, he believed that he could not do anything to Yang Chan.
However, the Third Holy Mother was destined not to know about this behavior for the time being.
“Senior Brother!”
Qing Yunzi was so excited when he saw Jia Le appearing in front of the Taoist temple. If he hadn't realized that the gap in status was getting bigger and bigger and that there were other people around Jia Le, Qing Yunzi would have jumped up and given him a kiss.
"Woo, Brother, I knew you wouldn't abandon me. Woo, you finally came back."
At this moment, Jiale really wanted to beat Qingyunzi to death, as his reputation was ruined here. Looking at the weird looks of San Shengmu and Ao Tingxin, Jiale felt that he had exhausted all the embarrassment in his previous life. Although Qingyunzi looked a little frivolous at ordinary times, he was not like this. What was he doing today? If you didn't know, you would think he was a good person.
He pushed Qing Yunzi away with disgust.
"Behave yourself. If you keep making such disgusting expressions and saying such disgusting words, I will throw you into the Land of Monsters to feed the monsters."
Only then did Qing Yunzi calm down and realize that he was too excited.
But there is nothing he can do. It's not his fault. These days, Qing Yunzi has been thinking about Jia Le day and night and he is almost going crazy. After all, this is his only savior. Ever since he met Jia Le, Qing Yunzi feels that he may really be reborn. With Jia Le improving at such a speed, even if he can't save himself, he can help him find someone to solve the problem.
But this opportunity was gone so easily, it was good enough that Qing Yunzi was not crazy anymore.
Now that Jiale has finally appeared, Qing Yunzi is thinking of asking Jiale to tie him to his belt.
"Brother, this is a long-awaited reunion. I'm so excited. Who are these two?"
Qing Yunzi looked at San Sheng Mu, Ao Tingxin, Jin Hong and Jin Ling with some surprise. Having been tortured by foundation problems for so many years, Qing Yunzi had long lost his love for beauty. If he had the time, he might as well study his own foundation to see if there was any way to solve it.
However, the looks of San Sheng Mu, Ao Tingxin and Jin Ling are indeed rare, and their temperaments are also top-notch. Qing Yunzi also considers himself to be knowledgeable. When he was in his heyday, he had seen many fairies from various immortal sects in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but none of them could compare with the two in front of him.
As for Jin Hong, just ignore him.
"San Sheng Mu, Ting Xin, this is a junior fellow I met before, a disciple of San Xiao Guan, who was sent here. He is a good person, but his brain is a little abnormal."
Three Holy Mothers!
Ting Xin Qingyunzi had no impression, but he knew the name of the Three Holy Mothers very well. After all, the story of Erlang saving his mother in Taoshan was known to all three realms. There is a saying in the cultivation world until now, which is: Three hundred years in the east, three hundred years in the west, how do you know that I may not be the next Yang Erlang.
As Yang Erlang's younger sister, Yang Chan, relying on her brother's status, naturally spread the word among the three realms. She didn't know how many female fairies in the three realms she had offended, and they were envious, jealous and hated her, and wished they could take her place.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and go in. You know the Third Holy Mother. That one is Ao Tingxin, the fourth princess of the East China Sea Dragon Palace. These two are the chief and elder of the Fire Crow Clan."
Dragon girl!
And I heard that the Fire Crow Clan has been subdued by my senior brother. How impressive.
Qing Yunzi couldn't help but secretly praise him in his heart. He was indeed his most admired senior brother. How long had he been a True Immortal? He was surrounded by such people. It was his birthday. No, "Come in, come in."
There hasn't been any major changes in Qingyun Temple, and the incense is still very popular.
"Brother, do you want wine or tea?"
Jiale was also helpless with Qing Yunzi. Why didn't he realize at the beginning that Qing Yunzi also had a funny side?
"Cha, take a rest today. Tomorrow we will set out for the East China Sea and go to Sanxian Island. You can come with us. I have already talked to the three uncles and will take you to solve the foundation problem."
What!
Qing Yunzi's hand couldn't help shaking as he poured the tea. He was excited, too excited. It turned out that his senior brother had not forgotten him. He went to find the ancestor of Sanxiao Temple and the founder of the martial arts.
"Brother, from now on, just watch my performance. Even if I can't repay you in this life, I will definitely reincarnate as a beautiful woman and marry you in the next life."
puff!
San Shengmu and Ao Tingxin had just taken a sip of the tea and hadn't swallowed it yet when they heard Qing Yunzi's words, they spit it out.
"Haha, Master Zhenjun, you are so blessed to have such a filial junior brother."
Jiale wiped the tea off his face and looked at Qingyunzi. Is it too late to kill him now?
On the second day, the group of six left Qingyun Mountain and went down the mountain. There was no one in Qingyun Temple, so naturally they went into seclusion. Since it was a temple for one person, it could be opened and closed at any time, so it was not a big problem.
Hangzhou.
"Hey, everyone, please stay."
Hmm! Jiale and his companions looked back upon hearing the sound. It turned out to be a slovenly monk, wearing ragged clothes and holding a palm leaf fan. However, he did not look so repulsive, which was rare.
"Hey, isn't this Monk Jidian from Lingyin Temple? Is he free today?"
Qing Yunzi obviously knew this monk. Jia Le couldn't help but look over when he heard that. It was actually Ji Gong!
I have to say that among the worlds that Jiale traveled through, few of them seemed simple.
The world of Uncle Jiu is mixed with tomb robbers, the world of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio is mixed with the White Snake, and now the world of Precious Lotus Lantern is even mixed with Jigong. No, it’s not just that.
However, after getting used to it, I no longer care about it and can accept it anyway.
Monk Jigong is the reincarnation of the Arhat Subduing the Dragon. As the leader of the Eighteen Arhats, his strength as the Arhat Xianglong is naturally unquestionable. Even the Arhat Subduing the Tiger cannot compare to him. He is almost a golden immortal. Even now that his golden body is gone and he has been reincarnated as a Buddha, his strength is still at the peak of the mortal world. If he borrows the power of the Dragon Subduing, he will have no problem displaying the level of a true immortal.
With the golden body in hand, it is possible to achieve the level of a Xuanxian.
It's just that Jiale originally had a good impression of Jigong, but last time he was caught by the Subduing Tiger Arhat and had a lecture on him, he became wary of the entire Buddhist sect. Even the Subduing Tiger Arhat was like that, so the Subduing Dragon Arhat might not be as simple as Jiale thought. After all, if you are in the big dye vat of Buddhism, you will inevitably be infected with some Buddhist habits.
Unlike Taoism, where there are all kinds of strange Taoists, Buddhism is much purer than Taoism. Anyone who leaves Buddhism is almost cut from the same mold. At least in this world, it is almost like this. Even the Subduing Tiger Arhat cannot be expected, let alone other Buddhas.
Jigong would definitely not stop them without reason. Jiale has always been cautious when dealing with Buddhism.
After all, there is a connection here, or he is preaching, and if you are not careful you might be taken away and have your head shaved. Who can bear this? It is never too much to be cautious.
"Sorry to bother you donors, I am a humble monk Ji Dian and I am here to greet you."
