Volume 2: The Great Tribulation of the Lich Chapter 350: The Substitute
The saints summoned each other, but it did not cause any sensation, because one wanted to keep a low profile, and the other also wanted to keep a low profile.
In the Biyou Palace, there are several green lamps and nine Taoists.
The leader sat high on a cloud bed, and his disciples followed his orders down the stairs.
When Mingyu came in, Duobao was the first to greet her.
"Greetings, Senior Brother Mingyu!"
"Don't be so polite. I came here in a hurry and didn't bring any gifts." Mingyu waved her hand and returned the gift half-jokingly.
The three sisters, Golden Turtle, Spirit Fire and Spirit, were not surprised and greeted them with a smile. However, the new member of the attendant immortals, Golden Hoop Immortal, was very surprised at Mingyu. It was the first time for him to see someone joking in front of the master, even though Tongtian was usually very easy-going.
Tongtian laughed and said, "Look at how stingy you are. Everyone knows that Sister Nuwa has the Qiankun Cauldron. If she wants, she has more spiritual treasures than a Taoist like me!"
Mingyu greeted him and then spread her hands: "Your Majesty has many spiritual treasures, but they belong to you. Although I am your disciple, I cannot always ask you for them. As for spiritual treasures, one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, or eight are enough. Any more will be a burden."
These words sounded a bit pretentious, so much so that Duobao Taoist, who also had many treasures, could not stand it. He rolled his eyes and wanted to say something.
"I don't mind, please let the treasure weigh me down, thank you!"
Tongtian was also amused and pointed with his fingers: "You didn't bring any magic treasures, but you should have at least some rare and precious fruits, such as star fruit, ginseng fruit, peach fruit, hibiscus fruit, laurel seed, bodhi seed, red lotus seed, yellow plum...hiss~, your wealth is even richer than that of a saint like me, take some out and share them with my disciples to satisfy their cravings."
Hearing Tongtian know so clearly about her wealth, Mingyu suspected that he had been thinking about her for a long time, and now that he was delivering the goods to her door, he was going to rip her off.
However, Mingyu did not refuse and regarded it as paying tuition.
He laid out the nine kinds of innate spiritual fruits one by one, and also took out some enlightenment tea, and gave them to Duobao's several junior brothers and sisters, as well as his uncle Tongtian.
"Thank you, Senior Brother Mingyu!"
Duobao and the others spoke with such sincerity. When they looked at these spiritual fruits, even though they were Taiyi Golden Immortals and Daluo Golden Immortals, they still felt a little greedy.
You have to know that this innate spirit is hard to come by, and those that can bear fruit are even fewer. The ten things in front of you are all the best of the best.
"Eat more, don't be polite, he is richer than me, don't feel sorry for him!" Tongtian is very generous and it is very easy for him to be generous to others.
Mingyu didn't know whether to laugh or cry. It was really uncommon for her to be extorted by her own uncle-master. The key point was that she was the one who delivered the goods to the door.
But Tongtian is right about one thing: you don't have to feel bad for yourself because strictly speaking, these things are not yours.
The star fruit was given by the star god Xiye, the ginseng fruit was given by Zhenyuan, the peaches came from West Kunlun, the hibiscus fruit was the salary given by the heaven, the laurel seeds were the reward for helping Chang Xi to take care of the children, the red lotus seeds were fished out from the blood pool of the Styx, the yellow plum was given by Ao Guang of the dragon clan, and as for the enlightenment tea, Hongyun would stuff himself with a can whenever he had time. There were very few bodhi seeds, as he got them for free when he went to Lingshan last time.
Tongtian was very satisfied with Mingyu's generosity. He did not enjoy his own share, but divided it among his disciples. He then asked, "I wonder if Fengqi Daozang is not enough, or if Daozu's good advice is not enough for you? You are willing to come to my Jin'ao Island. Don't tell me that you came here just to listen to my preaching..."
Mingyu is also a guest of Zixiao. He went to Zixiao Palace three times to listen to teachings, and even did not miss the special lessons given by the Taoist Ancestor. With a saintly master standing behind him, his path in the Tao is smooth, so there is no need for him to come and listen to him specifically.
Mingyu blinked and said sincerely, "I really came here to listen to the teachings. As the saying goes, one can polish jade with stones from other mountains. Moreover, your great Dao is a priceless treasure, the only one in the world, and it is also a beacon that points !"
This is a beautiful statement, and it really hits the heart of Tongtian. For a Taoist who enjoys being a teacher, your recognition of other people's knowledge is the greatest respect for them.
The corners of the leader's mouth rose unconsciously, and he was very proud in his heart, but he was a little arrogant. He commented on Mingyu's words with four words: "Slippery tongue!"
The words sounded nice, but Tongtian didn't believe them all.
Seeing this, Mingyu had no choice but to say, "I came here for another purpose besides listening to the teachings."
"Speak!" The saint suddenly became very frugal with his words.
"I wonder if Master Uncle has anything to use as a substitute for death?"
Tongtian raised his eyebrows slightly and looked Mingyu up and down: "You are not in a death calamity, are you trying to commit suicide again?"
The word "again" was used so well that Mingyu was choked.
"Not for me."
"Who are you going to give it to?"
Tongtian was a little curious.
"For those poor children..." Mingyu sighed and looked outside the hall.
There was a small island there, and on the island, a young man with purple eyes and star robe was teasing a little girl with long rabbit ears.
"Uncle Xiye, when are you going to take Yue'er to see my brothers? I miss them so much~~"
A wisp of gentle breeze carried the little girl's whispers into the hall.
When Tongtian Taoist heard this, he remained silent.
a long time.
He took out a wooden plaque, and wisps of fresh air emanated, a rich fragrance.
The leader put his two fingers together and put the sword together, engraved Taoist text on it, and with a wave of his hand, the wooden tablet was split into ten parts.
"Take it."
Mingyu took it with a smile and bowed: "Thank you, uncle!"
"Alright, alright, you know I don't like these empty formalities." Tongtian waved his hand and said, "I can't completely take your place in death, but I can certainly snatch a glimmer of hope. This is all I have, so... Alas, actually I hope you'll never use it."
Finally, Tongtian sighed imperceptibly.
Mingyu said sternly, "Then I'll borrow Master Ji's advice."
Seize a glimmer of hope .
These six words are what we need.
Anything else is fine, but these six words are more suitable.
Of course, Mingyu also has other preparations.
He did not lie to Tongtian. Mingyu came to Jin'ao Island mainly to join in the fun and listen to a lecture. It was just that he unexpectedly saw the little rabbit here, and Tongtian asked about it, so he took the opportunity to bring it up to save him from making another trip later.
He put away the ten wooden signs and did not stay long. He chatted with Duobao and others, asked Tongtian a few questions about the Tao, then bowed and left the hall, walking straight down the Zizhi Cliff.
"Remember to come back and listen to what you need to hear!"
Tongtian's voice rang in his ears again. Mingyu smiled and nodded slightly.
"Yes!"
He left on the waves, just as he had come.
Soon he caught up with Xiye and the little rabbit.
"Oh, it's Uncle Mingyu!" The little white rabbit was very happy and jumped into Mingyu's arms.
Xiye was surprised, "Why are you here too?"
Mingyu rubbed the little girl's ears and let go of her hand as Yue'er struggled in dissatisfaction.
"I should be the one asking you this. Why did you bring Little Twelve down to the Moon Palace? Does Sister Chang Xi know about this?"
Hearing Mingyu's question, Xiye felt a little guilty, and his expression began to falter: "Well... actually... I left a message for my sister."
Mingyu rolled her eyes in annoyance.
Well, this is a child kidnapper!
