Lao Tzu is Ji Gong

Without waiting for their opinions, he put it directly on their heads.

The two of them naturally didn't refuse. Looking at the gold locket, they felt an even stronger sense of intimacy. After putting on the gold locket, they laughed and said, "Hey, it looks like a pair. Let's take a look together!"

As they spoke, Guangliang and Biqing put the gold lock pieces together, and a burst of golden light appeared. A fat man and a thin man, both wearing red bellybands, appeared before Li Xiuyuan.

"Venerable Dragon Subduer, what are you doing here?"

When the two men saw Li Xiuyuan, they were greatly surprised, as they had no memory of what had happened before.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Alright, you may return to Mount Ling with me now."

As he finished speaking, a smile appeared on his lips. Two men were holding enormous iron hammers, a sight that was both shocking and disturbing.

Most importantly, they possessed memories of their past lives.

"No, that won't do, Buddha will blame us."

As he spoke, Bi Qing quickly shook his head; at this moment, he was clearly the leader of the two.

"Yes! Yes! We let the Golden-Winged Roc escape, and Buddha wants us to descend to the mortal realm."

After saying this, Guangliang looked sad.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry about that. The Roc has already been suppressed by the Sage. As long as you return, Buddha will no longer blame you."

As he spoke, he thought to himself that, given his influence, Buddha would surely grant his request.

Taking two people back was just out of consideration for our time at Lingyin Temple; if I could help them, I would!

"Really?"

Both of their eyes widened.

"Hmm, would I lie to you?"

As he spoke, Li Xiuyuan nodded with a smile.

Chapter 385 Abbot of Lingyin Temple

Li Xiuyuan thought to himself, "With my connections, the Buddha will definitely grant me a place. Besides, as long as I don't die young, I will definitely have a place in the Three Realms, even if I can't compare to a saint."

However, apart from the Sage, no one else is confident that they can destroy Li Xiuyuan once he grows up. Most importantly, the Sage is imprisoned in chaos by the Heavenly Dao Abyss, and is not allowed to reveal his true form.

If Li Xiuyuan can grow up, we should still give him this much face; I think the Buddha will know what's important.

Upon hearing this, the two felt a surge of confidence. If he had known that he was often bullied by Jianglong in this life, he wouldn't have chosen to believe it.

"Alright, Venerable Dragon Subduer, you'll have to help us then!"

As he spoke, the chubby fairy boy began to say nice things; his chubby face actually looked rather cute.

"Yeah yeah!"

The thin fairy boy readily agreed. The two of them naturally did not want to descend to the mortal realm, but since the Buddha had banished them, they absolutely could not return on their own.

Fortunately, both of them knew that the Dragon-Subduing Venerable was a favorite of the Buddha, and if they could get his favor, it would definitely be feasible.

Although the two have silly personalities, it doesn't mean they are stupid. After all, people who can become immortals or Buddhas are not as silly as they are portrayed in the original work.

Upon hearing this, Li Xiuyuan calmly replied, "Don't worry, nothing will happen with me here."

After saying that, he patted his chest and assured him.

"En!"

The two nodded quickly, regardless of whether it would be useful or not, they had to believe it would be useful at this moment.

Just then, a person walked in. He had a face full of wrinkles, but when he saw that Guangliang and Biqing looked different, he was not surprised at all and calmly said, "Daoji, are you leaving?"

As he spoke, his gaze became very enthusiastic. He was just a little monk in the mortal world, and he knew the identities of Li Xiuyuan, Guangliang, and Biqing.

When he actually saw a few people leaving, he couldn't help but feel a little envious. After all, they were going to the sacred place in the hearts of monks, the Western Paradise, where they could see the Buddha.

Upon seeing Huiming, Li Xiuyuan replied calmly, "Hmm, not bad. Master, we are about to leave. This is the last time I will call you Master. If you don't mind, you can come with me to Mount Ling. For the sake of our master-disciple relationship, I can grant you immortality."

Having said that, he made a momentous promise, for his descent to the mortal realm was now nearly complete.

It was time to go back, but when I saw the old monk, remembering our past relationship as master and disciple, I wanted to help him out.

"Yes, I do!"

Upon hearing this, the old monk quickly nodded in agreement. He had long admired the prospect of becoming an immortal, and even the benefits promised by the Buddha in the past were not as great as those offered by Li Xiuyuan!

Li Xiuyuan nodded after hearing this and replied, "That's excellent!"

As he spoke, the chubby fairy boy beside him asked, "Hey, who is this old monk? Why is he coming back to Mount Ling with us?"

Having said that, he was extremely surprised, after all, not just anyone could go to Mount Ling.

"Guangliang, you........."

Huiming was greatly surprised to see that Guangliang did not recognize him.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Alright, that's enough. I will explain the rest to you. Let's gather everyone first."

As he spoke, he and several others teleported to Zhao Bin and Chen Liang's side.

Seeing the two people practicing magic, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Zhao Bin, come here."

Having said that, he told the two people to hurry up and come over without further ado.

"Yes, Master."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Bin immediately walked over, along with Chen Liang, who assumed they had been summoned for some business and also intended to check on them.

Upon seeing the two approaching, Li Xiuyuan took out a golden relic from his system space and said, "Zhao Bin, take a look at this."

As he spoke, he noticed Zhao Bin looking over, and disregarding the other's opinion, he threw the relic directly at him, where it merged into the space between his eyebrows.

Suddenly, golden light surged around Zhao Bin, and in an instant, he transformed into a different person, holding a whisk in his hand, resembling Ling Chanzi.

"Huh! The Venerable Subduing Dragon?"

Ling Chanzi was taken aback when he saw Li Xiuyuan, and then said, "And what are you doing here, Fat and Thin Immortal Boys?"

After saying that, he glanced at the group of people.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan said calmly, "Alright, no need to say more. Our sect is about to head to Mount Ling, so it's time to settle these matters."

After saying that, he asked Huiming to explain, but given the temperament of the fat and thin fairy children, he was afraid that they would only make things more confusing.

At this moment, the two people next to him finally understood, and Chen Liang also suddenly realized that the people around him were all extraordinary.

Li Xiuyuan is the Dragon-Subduing Venerable, while Guangliang and Biqing are celestial children. Even his senior brother is the reincarnation of Lingchanzi from Mount Ling.

He was the only ordinary person there, and after listening to the conversation of the others and learning that they were going to Mount Ling, he was greatly disappointed.

Upon seeing this, Li Xiuyuan smiled slightly and said, "Chen Liang, don't be sad. With our cultivation of magical power, immortality is within our reach. As long as we can master the Great Sun Tathagata Sutra, we will meet again in the future."

He paused for a moment, then added, "I'll entrust the management of Lingyin Temple to you! From now on, you will be the abbot of Lingyin Temple."

Having said that, he had made his decision, and Huiming, who was standing beside him, did not object at all.

He was about to leave, and Li Xiuyuan's words did not take his feelings into consideration.

Of course, Huiming felt no dissatisfaction. For ordinary mortals, becoming an immortal was a distant dream, and now he finally had the opportunity.

Huiming would only feel extremely grateful to Li Xiuyuan and would not complain that he had removed him from his position as abbot.

It can't be called a revocation, since Huiming had already made up his mind not to stay.

Chapter 386 All Matters Completed

"Yes, Master, your disciple will definitely study hard to catch up with you."

As he spoke, Chen Liang felt a mix of emotions, but he didn't act like a spoiled child. He secretly resolved to cultivate diligently.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuyuan nodded and said calmly, "You guys take Huiming and leave first! I still have some things to take care of."

The journey to the Western Spirit Mountain is now long and arduous, far exceeding the 108,000 li journey on the Journey to the West. After all, the entire Immortal Realm is vast and boundless, and given that they are deep within the Eastern Divine Continent, the journey will take even longer.

If only a few people were to fly, it would probably take several months to reach the destination!

"Okay, but you absolutely have to come!"

With that, the chubby fairy boy agreed, but seemed a little uneasy and reminded Li Xiuyuan again.

"Ok!"

Li Xiuyuan nodded in agreement. With his travel speed, catching up with a few people would be a piece of cake. After all, having mastered the laws of space, speed was his forte.

Moreover, Li Xiuyuan is extremely powerful, practically invincible at the same level. But let's get back to the point.

Li Xiuyuan is about to return to Lingshan and needs to establish his own Daoist temple. He probably won't come to Lingyin Temple. Instead, he will take several women with him.

With a thought, Li Xiuyuan arrived at the manor at the foot of the mountain, where he found everyone already waiting. He had informed them in advance through his cultivation techniques.

Hong Xiuying was dressed in a white blouse with floral patterns, a white pleated skirt, and her jet-black hair was styled in a princess bun, adorned with a pearl hairpin with tassels hanging from it.

That fair and clean face, soft and delicate skin, long and beautiful eyebrows, and eyes that sparkled like stars.

Beside Hong Xiuying was a little girl of about thirteen or fourteen years old. She was cute and charming, and was wearing a black dress.

Bai Ling was also wearing a light white silk robe and a pearl white crepe skirt.

On her oval, fair, and jade-like face, a pair of dimples appeared slightly between her cheeks. A light touch of rouge made her cheeks look like a newly opened magnolia flower, white with a hint of pink.
