Buddha is the Tao

The Juexian Sword was sealed in the scabbard, without any breath, and even Zhou Qing could not see anything unusual. Hearing that the person in front of him was indeed the Dragon Girl, Zhou Qing estimated her cultivation and found that the Dragon Girl's cultivation was not inferior to that of the East China Sea Dragon King Ao Guang. It was much more difficult to achieve Taoism with a dragon body than with ordinary monsters, but her magical powers also increased exponentially.

"I was indeed invited by the Three Altars Sea Assembly God. As for the position of Emperor Gou Chen, it was appointed by the Heavenly Court. I am not worthy of it."

Zhou Qing said hurriedly. That day, Nezha and Zhou Qing attacked Bai Qi at the same time. Nezha attacked several times, but he did not use his full strength. Zhou Qing only estimated a rough idea. Similarly, the aura of the Dragon Girl was also hidden very deeply. When it comes to the cultivation of the celestial immortals, the strength is no longer just a competition of magic weapons. The level of magic power, the clever use of Taoism, and the close combat moves are all greatly related. Everyone has a condensed body and a soul that has become an infant or a child. They can withstand a few bombardments. It's not like the cultivators who have not become immortals. The soul is useless without the body.

"If these two fight, I'm afraid Nezha will have a slight advantage!" Zhou Qing guessed in his heart.

"You have fought with the great wizard Bai Qi for more than a month with your own strength. You have such magical powers. The Great Emperor Gou Chen can barely be called the leader. However, the Great Emperor Gou Chen was the leader of the demon tribe in the three realms. He was canonized by the original Tianzun Fu Zhao. The demon tribe is not convinced. I am afraid that you will be in trouble." Seeing that Zhou Qing looked like a master and his face was not hateful, Ao Luan kindly reminded him.

"Alas, I understand this point. I was originally a wild man in the mountains. I hid myself from the cage, escaped from the secular world and cultivated myself. I drank sweet springs, chewed pine and cypress, and did what I wanted. But the great witch came out. I couldn't bear to see the lives of the people suffer, so I tried to stop it. With my meager magic power, I couldn't subdue it. I wanted to ask my fellow Taoists for help, but I didn't expect to alarm the Heavenly Court. I was in a dilemma about the will of the Heavenly Court. I wanted to refuse, but I didn't expect to offend the majesty of the Heaven and be charged with disrespect. They wanted to send heavenly soldiers to arrest me. I had no choice but to accept the imperial edict and cause trouble. I deserved this disaster."

Zhou Qing sighed and sighed seriously, pretending to be very serious.

"So that's how it is. The real person can't bear to see the lives of the people suffer. He is truly an otherworldly expert. It's a pity that the Heavenly Court has evil intentions. The real person has taken on this false name out of thin air. Not only will he be in trouble, he may also be killed!" Ao Luan was admiring when he heard what Zhou Qing said, and he bowed his head in salute.

Zhou Qing also hurriedly returned the salute and said, "How dare I accept such a great gift from the princess? I know that there are many demon kings in the lower world with great magical powers and boundless magic power. I am not their opponent. There will be trouble, but how can I be killed? Are you here to kill me for a mere false name?"

"The real person doesn't know. I will explain it to you later."

Ao Luan was about to explain to Zhou Qing when a bright red flashed in the distance, and then it became bigger and bigger, like a streak of silk. It was Nezha riding on the wind and fire wheel, rushing towards this side.

"Daoyou Zhou is indeed a trustworthy person."

Seeing Zhou Qing, Nezha put away his wind-fire wheel and stopped to greet him. Zhou Qing looked carefully and saw that Nezha was very different at this time. He was wearing a water cloud Taoist robe, a silk ribbon, and cloud shoes. His long hair was tied up with a white silk ribbon, just like a Quanzhen Taoist.

"Daoyou is right!" Zhou Qing returned the greeting. At this time, they were all from the same Taoist sect, so it would be inappropriate to use other names.

The three of them greeted each other, and Ao Luan said, "Brother Nezha, why are you so aggressive? My Four Seas Dragon Clan has a grudge against you, but that was thousands of years ago. Why are you still holding a grudge?"

Nezha smiled and said, "The people back then were just old grudges, so let's not talk about it. I came here on the orders of the Queen Mother of the Jade Pool to ask the princess for the Eighth Prince to marry her. The princess refused to accept, which was disrespectful to the majesty of heaven and violated the heavenly law. I am an important official of the Heavenly Court, so I naturally have to maintain the majesty of the Heavenly Court and hold you accountable."

"There is no point in talking nonsense. We have already made three rules. Who will win and who will lose is clear. With your power in the Heavenly Court, it is not difficult to make the rogue Eighth Prince give up." Ao Luan said.

"What is the grudge between the two Taoist friends? Do you have to gamble? Why don't you listen to my words and let me do the work to make peace?" Zhou Qing saw that the atmosphere was gradually tense, and he was happy to be a peacemaker.

Zhou Qing was the Great Emperor of Gou Chen. Although he was in name only, he had some weight and he had the face of being a peacemaker. Listening to Ao Luan's explanation, Zhou Qing frowned and said, "Why is the Heaven Court so unreasonable? Marriage is a matter of mutual affection, how can it be forced?"

"Hehe, it seems that the Heaven Court is really not a good thing, and it is forcing marriage, but this is also normal." Zhou Qing laughed in his heart after knowing the situation.

"Master Zhou is wrong, the law of nature, the law of nature, naturally, the heaven is greater than the law, this gambling fight is inevitable, Master, you should be a witness." Nezha smiled and blinked at Zhou Qing.

"What a great saying that the heaven is greater than the law, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas, let's see the truth in the means!" Ao Luan said.

Zhou Qing understood and stepped back a few steps: "We are all from the same lineage of Taoism, so it's okay to stop at the right time." Zhou Qing also thought about what the two people's means were.

Nezha didn't say much. With a wave of his hand, a fire spear appeared. Ao Luan raised the Juexian Sword with its sheath, and the air flow rolled. Both of them were masters of the immortal way. This fight was probably more exciting than Zhou Qing's fight with Bai Qi. Bai Qi was a great wizard and was not good at using magic weapons. Although Zhou Qing had many magic weapons, he had no way to deal with Bai Qi's immortal body. The two of them just fought hand-to-hand.

But Nezha and Ao Luan were different. They knew magic weapons, Taoist magic, and close combat.

Nezha was not polite either. He shook the fire spear, and a few spear flowers as big as a bowl appeared. The flames were bright and stabbed towards Ao Luan. The spear head was changing constantly. Although it was stabbing at the chest, it covered Ao Luan's retreat from left to right.

Ao Luan's beautiful eyes were full of light. She pointed her sword with the sheath and hit Nezha's spear head. The two weapons met in silence, but there was an undercurrent. Then countless colorful stars the size of wine glasses burst out, like fireworks, dazzling. Both of them were shocked and flew backwards ten feet away.

Zhou Qing was shocked. This attack seemed plain, but it was extremely dangerous. Exquisite skills were included in it. The changes of Taoist techniques were dazzling. The fight with Bai Qi that day was a big fight. Both sides were almost invincible and were not afraid of blows. It was no problem to take a few blows. The fight between Nezha and Ao Luan was just a little bit, and they could not take a single blow. Skills were more important than strength.

Nezha stood still with his gun, and did not continue to attack. He said with a slightly angry look: "Why do you fight me without unsheathing your sword? You look down on me so much."

"My sword was given to me by my master. After it is unsheathed, it is extremely powerful and difficult to control. It is not good to hurt you!" Ao Luan was telling the truth, which naturally sounded like irony to Nezha. Even Zhou Qing shook his head repeatedly.

"I held back before because I was afraid that people would laugh at me for bullying a woman. Since you are so arrogant, I will not hold back." Nezha laughed, held up his gun, and stood in front of Ao Luan. Ao Luan was not afraid at all. He held the sword against the gun, and the two of them fought a good fight.

Ao Luan's movements were light and graceful, while Nezha was steady and skillful, and his fire spear was superb. After fighting for half an hour, Ao Luan gradually found it difficult to resist, thinking: "This great god of the Three Altars and Seas is indeed worthy of his reputation, and he has some skills. I followed my master to cultivate Taoism, and practiced the techniques of Lead Gong, Adjusting Kan and Catching Li. I am a little unfamiliar with close combat. If I fail, won't I marry that scoundrel?"

Ao Luan betrayed his flaws, jumped out of the circle, raised his hand, and a golden light appeared. In the air, it turned into a memorial archway more than ten feet high, pressing down on Nezha's head.

Nezha chased after him, and when he saw the memorial archway pressing down, he smiled and said, "How can this magic weapon do anything to me?" He raised the Qiankun Circle to meet it, and with a bang, the golden memorial archway was broken into two pieces, lost its aura, and returned to its normal size.

After breaking the magic weapon of Dragon Girl Ao Luan, Nezha collected the Qiankun Circle, rushed forward, transformed into a spear shadow, surrounded Ao Luan, and killed her so hard that she was sweating profusely and could only defend herself without any chance to fight back.

"The destiny cannot be disobeyed. You'd better follow me to the Heavenly Palace as soon as possible, marry the Eighth Prince, and enjoy the beauty of the Heavenly Palace." Nezha laughed loudly.

"The victory is not yet decided, the Great God of the Three Altars and Seas should not be too proud!" Ao Luan defended left and right, his face livid, "Since the Great God is forcing me, I have no choice! You blame me for being rude."

Holding the Fire Spear, Ao Luan shook the sword, snap! Snap! The sound of "Zhu Xian" rang out, and the jade scabbard broke, revealing the body of the Juexian Sword. Fortunately, the dragon girl tried her best to restrain the power of the sword, so as not to shake the world. Zhou Qing's eyes were sharp, and he saw the two ancient seal characters on the sword body at a glance. His heart moved. Although he had not seen the true appearance of the Four Swords of Zhuxian, he could feel that this thing was the first murderous weapon in the Conferred God Period. The four swords were arranged in a formation, and the murderous aura was so heavy that even the Original Heavenly Venerable had to retreat.

"It seems that this Ao Luan Dragon Girl is not simple!" Zhou Qing thought in his heart, and then he heard a puff. Nezha's fire-tipped spear head was cut off by Ao Luan's sword and turned into an iron rod. Ao Luan swung his sword, and the green light flashed, cutting the spear shaft in Nezha's hand into three or four pieces.

Nezha only had a one-foot-long pole in his hand, which he could not hold. He was horrified and jumped back, offering a gold brick to hit Ao Luan's sword-holding arm.

Ao Luan gathered the lightning and sent out a thunder. A green light shot out from the Juexian Sword, facing the gold bricks. After a swirl, the gold bricks were broken into three or four pieces. Ao Luan sent out another thunder and sent out another sword light to cut Nezha.

"Good Junior Sister! Are you serious?"

Nezha had nothing in his hands. Seeing the sword light coming again, he quickly grabbed the Qiankun Circle to block it and shouted.

The Qiankun Circle was colorful and entangled with the sword light for a while, and then it was torn apart and cut on the main body. Sparks flew and cut out a gap the size of a soybean.

"What did you say?" Ao Luan was stunned when he heard Nezha's shout, but the Juexian Sword could not be controlled by his heart and could not stop its momentum. In the thunder and vibration, another sword light shot towards Nezha, just right, and cut on the gap of the Qiankun Circle, still cutting it into two pieces. The remaining momentum was not weakened, and he cut Nezha in half.

Nezha had no choice but to retreat quickly. He didn't know that the sword light seemed to be psychic and kept chasing him.

Seeing this, Zhou Qing threw the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree to block the sword light of the Absolute Immortal Sword, and then swung it to shatter the sword light. Ao Luan then stopped the Absolute Immortal Sword.

"What did you call me just now?" Seeing Nezha pick up the broken magic weapon and fly over. Ao Luan asked.

"During the Conferred God Battle, this Absolute Immortal Sword fell into the hands of my uncle Daoxing Tianzun. My master is Taiyi Zhenren of Jinguan Cave in Qianyuan Mountain. They are all disciples of the Chan Sect. I went to my master's place a few years ago, and Uncle Daoxing happened to be there. He talked about my junior sister. This time, I was playing a joke on my junior sister and wanted to see what she could do. I didn't know that Uncle Daoxing even gave her the Absolute Immortal Sword. It was really unexpected."

Nezha looked at the destroyed magic weapons and felt a little pain in his heart: "It seems that I have to go to the master to sacrifice again!"

Seeing the puzzled look of the Dragon Girl, Nezha asked curiously: "Why, Junior Sister, don't you know?"

"Are you really my senior brother?" Ao Luan asked back.

"So the Taoist uncle is making a fuss. The place where the junior sister practices is the Jade House Cave in Jinting Mountain in the overseas world of the Earthly Immortal Realm?" Nezha immediately reacted and laughed.

"So you are really my senior brother!" Ao Luan believed it, and then laughed again: "This can't be blamed on me, who asked the senior brother to play this joke on me."

"Haha, haha, the two of you really don't know each other until you fight. It turns out that you are senior brothers and sisters, both of whom are disciples of the Golden Immortal, and are masters." Zhou Qing was lucky to have the Seven Treasures Wonderful Tree, otherwise he really couldn't stop the Juexian Sword.

Seeing that the two chatted for a long time, talking about the matters of the master's sect, one by one, and getting more and more excited, Zhou Qing was bored, so he said.

"Brother, since the Heavenly Palace is so boring and you can't come down often, why don't you stay in my Dragon Palace for two days. Master Zhou, thanks to you for blocking the sword light this time." Ao Luan said hurriedly.

"There is no other way. The Eighth Prince is blowing wind and making trouble at the Queen Mother's place every day. The situation is urgent. I came down this time to find an excuse to help Junior Sister, so that the Eighth Prince can put his mind aside. If he dares to go to the Heavenly Palace to return his life, I will talk to Junior Sister when I have time!" Nezha sighed.

"Master Zhou, Junior Sister, I'm leaving first! Also, Junior Sister, don't spread this matter, I'm afraid that the Queen Mother will have thoughts again." After a few people talked for a while, Nezha seemed very anxious and hurriedly said goodbye. Even Ao Luan couldn't keep him.

"Wulian Tianzun, round like a wheel, this Three Altars Sea Assembly God is a thoughtful person." Zhou Qing sighed. As for this Juexian Sword, it is the thing of the Golden Immortal of the Chan Sect, but Zhou Qing didn't have any thoughts.

"Where is the Immortal going?" Seeing Zhou Qing was about to leave with a flick of his sleeves, Ao Luan hurriedly called out.

"I will still go back to cultivate my true self and practice Taoism. I am too lazy to care about some mundane things." Zhou Qing said.

"Which immortal mountain is the Immortal practicing in?"

"I am a wild man. There is no immortal mountain. I have never been out of the world and I don't know the cycle of life. In my spare time, I collect herbs to save people. When I am busy, I adjust yin and yang, lead and mercury. I don't know gods, Bodhisattvas, or demon kings." Zhou Qing was used to talking nonsense, and he blurted out everything without thinking.

Ao Luan was envious when he heard it. Xuan Ji said again: "The Immortal is so leisurely, but as I said before, the Immortal has been subjected to the sinister intentions of the Heavenly Court, and he must be careful of the demon kings in several places."

"Which places?" Zhou Qing just remembered that Nezha interrupted Ao Luan's words when he came. He was not very clear about some forces in the earthly immortal world, so it was a good time to ask.

"This is not the place to talk. Besides, I can't explain the details at once. Why don't you come to my South China Sea Dragon Palace for two days, and I will tell you one by one. I admire your methods very much. It would be great if you could teach me the Taoist martial arts."

Although Ao Luan defeated Nezha with the power of magic weapons, he knew that his own strength was indeed not as good as his senior brother. Zhou Qing's methods were sophisticated, so Ao Luan wanted to learn from him.

Zhou Qing thought it was a good idea. The four seas dragon clan had a wide range of friends and was well-informed, which was a great help for him to understand the world of earthly immortals. It was just that the old Jade Emperor was very insidious and gave him the false title of Emperor Gou Chen, which simply bound Zhou Qing's hands and feet. Otherwise, with Zhou Qing's methods, he would be like a fish in water in the world of earthly immortals.

Breaking through the void, the spiritual energy rushed towards them. The two of them were flying high in the sky. Below them were mountains, cities, or plains. Ao Luan said, "This is the land boundary where the two continents of Xiniu Hezhou and Nanzhanbuzhou meet. Have you ever been here?"

Zhou Qing shook his head and did not answer. He came from the human world, so how could he know the geographical conditions in the earthly immortal world. After flying for a while, the plains below were vast and boundless, with countless cities standing in a row and houses like ants. The dense black dots were all human heads. Thousands of miles away, the sound of shouting and killing shook the sky, and the murderous aura rushed to the sky. The sound of weapons colliding came faintly. It was clearly a war between two countries. The soldiers were fighting. Zhou Qing and Ao Luan were attracted. From a distance, they could see clearly that there were soldiers wearing green armor in the south and soldiers wearing yellow armor in the west. They were fighting under a huge city. The murderous aura rushed to the sky, and there was a faint momentum of black gas condensation.

"Alas, the Tang Dynasty is at war with the Tianzhu Kingdom again. Every time they fight, I wonder how many lives will be reincarnated again." Seeing this situation, Ao Luan sighed.

"The Tang Dynasty, Tianzhu Kingdom? Why do they sound so familiar to me? The feelings are really similar to those in the human world!" Zhou Qing laughed in his heart.
