one year later.
Chaoge City.
Wutian looked up at the city gate after two years of absence, feeling very emotional in his heart.
After leaving Mount Putuo, Wutian took Guanyin into the territory of Dashang, and then began to travel from the southern kingdoms. The two transformed their bodies, changed their makeup, and became ordinary people. They began to walk among the kingdoms. Go in the direction of the song.
During this year, not only Guanyin but also Wutian was also practicing. The two of them sealed their cultivation and lived like mortals. At first, Guanyin was not used to this feeling, but out of her yearning for Buddhism, she persisted in the end. down.
Guanyin felt hungry for the first time, felt heat and cold for the first time, and for the first time knew the hardships of mortal life, and even saw some beauty in the world.
Once, the two of them passed by a village where a wedding was being held, and the hero and heroine of the wedding were slaves who had been freed. Seeing the newlyweds smiling happily under the blessings of the villagers, Guanyin was very moved, even though The so-called new house was just an ordinary thatched house, but in their eyes, it was home. At this moment, Guanyin seemed to understand why mortals could still burst out with such vigorous vitality in this short life.
Along the way, Wutian did not deliberately guide Guanyin. Everything just went with the flow, and she had to experience everything on her own.
Slowly, Guanyin changed. She was no longer obsessed with breakthroughs in cultivation, but learned some pharmacological knowledge from Wutian. The two of them often collected medicines on the way, and would treat people when they needed help along the way. Guanyin once I asked Wu Tian, why don't you use mana to help people? Wutian said that mortals have their own way to go, and excessive interference will only make people dependent on the ascetics. People still have to strengthen themselves, so that the human race can prosper forever.
"Is this Chaoge? I have heard many brothers talk about it in Yuxu Palace before." Guanyin said while looking at the towering city gate.
"Oh? What are they talking about?" Wutian turned around and asked.
"They all seem to be belittling the King of Humans." Guanyin hesitated and said.
"Then what do you think? How do you feel about the Human King or the Human Race now?"
Guanyin was silent for a while.
"They are wrong. I don't know why they comment so much. In the past year, although I have seen some bad things, there are more touching things. It is not easy for mortals. They are existences worthy of respect and recognition. ”
"As for the King of Talkers..."
"Although I have never met him, based on his lifting the shackles of slaves and everything I saw when entering Chaoge's range, he deserves the title of King of Humans," Guanyin said.
Wutian nodded and did not continue to ask. If he asked again, he would be suspected of sowing discord. Although Guanyin entered Buddhism, her inner feelings for Yuxu Palace were not something that could be given up in a short while, and there was no way she could let go of them. Tian also knew that there was a knot in Guanyin's heart, that was Yuanshi. She didn't know how to meet her former teacher in the future.
"Come on, let's go in."
At this time, the two of them had followed the crowd entering the city to the city gate. The soldiers guarding the city only looked at the two of them briefly. Seeing that they were dressed like ordinary people, they accepted them and let them go without asking anything.
Entering Chaoge City, Guanyin felt the unique prosperity here. Compared with the human cities she had been to before, it was more vibrant, with noisy cries, endless crowds, and running children, all full of vitality.
The two of them walked and watched, but Wutian consciously walked towards the direction of Zhutian Tower.
"As expected of Chaoge, there are probably more people here than all the people I met on the road put together." Guanyin exclaimed.
"Haha, that's natural, this is a big commercial capital." Wutian smiled.
At this moment, a commotion suddenly broke out in front of the street.
The two looked at each other and walked over quickly.
I saw a group of people gathered around looking at something. The two of them quickly got inside with some tricks. In the center of the crowd, they saw a three-year-old girl stepping on a man, and the man was holding a A big knife, the blade glowing with cold light.
"Mengmeng..." Wu Tian was stunned for a moment.
"You don't want to ask me, who am I? How dare you use a knife on me?" the little girl said angrily.
"Killing, killing." The strong man was lying on the ground and kept wailing.
People around him also started talking. It turned out that this person had just come to Chaoge not long ago. I heard that he was still a cultivator. However, this person was very arrogant and domineering. After coming to Chaoge, he occupied the cultivation base and demanded money from some merchants. , but if he didn’t obey, he would use magic to hurt people. He was a little restrained at first, but in the past few days, he seemed to have tasted the sweetness and became more and more excessive. Today he happened to come to a pastry shop next to here to blackmail him. Unexpectedly, he was blackmailed by a little boy. The child was uniformed.
"If you keep barking, I'll castrate you. Giggling..." Mengmeng started laughing after she finished speaking.
"You stinky girl, please let me go. Do you know who I am? I am a disciple of Kunlun. Kunlun, do you know? My master is Deng Hua, a disciple of Yuxu." The man said loudly.
"Eh? It's Yuxu again." Mengmeng's eyes lit up when she heard this, and her little feet moved slightly.
"Card..."
The man's leg bones were broken.
"ah..."
The man screamed miserably, in agony.
"good."
People around him cheered when they heard this.
At this time, Guanyin looked very embarrassed. She naturally knew Deng Hua. He was just a registered disciple of Yuanshi. She was not very familiar with him, but he was still considered a disciple of Yuxu. Now that his disciple was caught doing evil, she also felt that Shame on you.
"The upper beam is not straight and the lower beam is crooked." Wutian shook his head and said.
Guanyin was silent. The facts were before her eyes, and she could not refute it. As a cultivator, it was really embarrassing for her to do such a despicable thing.
At this moment, a group of sergeants pushed through the crowd and walked in.
"Miss Mengmeng." The leader seemed to know Mengmeng.
"Huh, you're here so late. I'll tell Dan Chenzi later to punish you." Mengmeng said softly.
All the sergeants immediately grimaced.
Mengmeng jumped off the man and said casually.
"I handed this person over to you, but I have destroyed the Taoism in him."
After saying that, the little guy was about to turn around and leave, but he quickly stopped and turned around to walk towards the pastry shop.
She was seen packing up all the pastries placed at the stall at the door, and then she picked up the package that was bigger than her body and said to the confused shop owner.
"Hehe, these are just a thank you gift. I'm leaving." After the little guy said that, he turned around and ran away, making people dumbfounded.
Soon, Wu Tian and the others continued to walk forward. After the scene just now, Guanyin felt very depressed.
While walking through an alley, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side.
"Hey."
A childish voice sounded, and a huge package appeared before his eyes, and then a little head popped out from under the package. It was the Mengmeng who had just left.
Guanyin was stunned for a moment, while Wutian looked at Wutian with a smile on his face.
"I've seen you a long time ago. Hehe, how are you? Did I look so majestic just now?" Mengmeng said with a smile.
"Wei Feng, so majestic. It would be even more majestic if we didn't take snacks from others." Wu Tian joked.
"Huh, what do you know? This is called reward, take it." Mengmeng pouted dissatisfiedly and threw the package to Wutian, who reached out to catch it.
Then the little guy circled around the two of them.
"Why are you like this? I still like your bald look." Mengmeng said with a frown.
"Who is this sister?" Mengmeng asked next.
Wutian suddenly felt dizzy.
At this time, Guanyin looked surprised. It turned out that the two knew each other.
"Okay, this is not the place to talk. Let's go back first."
Wutian said helplessly.
"Yeah." The little guy nodded.
"Hold me." Then she jumped up and down onto Guanyin, like an octopus.
"Uh..." Guanyin was stunned for a moment and looked at Wutian with some confusion. She had never been hugged so closely by someone, even though the other person was a little girl.
"Hahaha, her name is Mengmeng, she is a naughty and cute troublemaker." Wutian burst out laughing when he saw Guanyin's expression.
"Hehe, you smell as good as Sister Long and the others." Mengmeng put her little head close to Guanyin and smelled it.
Then the three of them walked towards Zhutian Tower together.
"So, you are the only one?" Wutian asked.
"Yeah, it's so boring." The little guy nodded.
"Hehe, you came back just in time, you can play with me."
"Originally, I wanted to go to Biyou Palace, but my brother didn't allow me to leave Chaoge." Then Mengmeng said with a sad face.
"Biyou Palace?"
Guanyin was suddenly shocked.
"Hahaha, please don't harm fellow Taoist Tongtian." Wutian couldn't help laughing.
"Hmph, I won't pull his beard next time he comes to visit. By the way, you didn't bring me a gift?" Mengmeng said and looked at Wutian, her eyes full of expectation.
"Ahem... Yes, of course I do. I'll give it to you when I get back." Wutian coughed twice and said.
Soon the three of them arrived at the Zhutian Downstairs. With a wave of Mengmeng's little hand, Guanyin suddenly felt a change in the surrounding space. When she reacted, she and Wutian had arrived in a strange room.
"This is Zhutian Tower." Wutian explained, and then pointed to the window on the side.
Guanyin looked over, and first saw the street outside. She couldn't help but look at the child in her arms, and then realized that this child was even more powerful than what she just saw, and could bring her here without knowing it.
"Hey, where's the gift?" Mengmeng jumped off Guanyin and stretched out her little hand towards Wutian.
Wu Tian reached for his sleeve and took out a golden lotus. The lotus shone brightly and was very dazzling.
Guanyin recognized it at a glance. This was the golden lotus that Wutian had nourished with Buddhist teachings every day for a year. She originally thought it was a magic weapon refined by Wutian himself, because it already had the breath of a magic weapon on it. Time will be an amazing treasure, and I didn’t expect it to be a gift for this little girl.
"Wow, lotus, it looks delicious." Mengmeng immediately took it happily.
"Eat?" Guanyin thought she had heard wrongly.
