Chaos Spirit Field

Zhunti Taoist was speechless. Wasn't this scolding a bald man in front of the monk? He didn't dare to lose his temper easily, because Yuanshi Tianzun's strength was far superior to his own. In desperation, he could only shamelessly say, "Brother Yuanshi, how about a drink?"

Yuanshi Tianzun knocked Zhao Shanhe on the head and said, "Zilong, be careful with your words in the future. Don't be so outspoken. You didn't even bother inviting your master to your birthday party?"

Zhao Shanhe quickly explained, "Master, if you were here, my brothers and sisters would definitely be nervous. When it's your birthday, I'll definitely make sure to host a good one."

Yuanshi Tianzun waved his hand after hearing this and said, "A saint lives as long as heaven and earth, so why celebrate a birthday? Hurry up and bring out the fine wine so that Master and fellow Taoist Zhunti can have a few drinks. Also bring some spiritual fruits to go with the wine."

Zhao Shanhe quickly picked some peaches and placed them on the table. He said, "Master, the only spiritual fruits I have that are worthy of your status are these peaches that ripen once every three thousand years. I hope you don't mind them."

Yuanshi Tianzun smiled and said, "It's been a long time since the Peach Garden was destroyed. Fellow Daoist Zhunti, let's enjoy some together."

Zhao Shanhe went downstairs to prepare delicious food. He knew that Yuanshi Tianzun still had doubts about his identity. He had used a lot of strength in that attack just now. Fortunately, his strength had improved a lot over the years, and the strength of his clone was still pretty good, so he was not exposed.

Yuanshi Tianzun was indeed testing Zhao Shanhe, and he saw nothing amiss. The strength matched, the innate spiritual treasure was present, and Yang Xiaochan was pregnant—all of which indicated that Zhao Zilong's identity was unquestionable. However, the reality was that this was not the case, which only showed that the Chaos Spiritual Field was truly too powerful.

The clone's experiences naturally couldn't be hidden from Zhao Shanhe, the original body. He looked at the big tiger in front of him, speechless. The Buddhist sect was really a bunch of good-for-nothings. Plagiarism was shameful.

The tiger stared at the monk in front of him, wondering why the monk didn't run away when he saw him. Wasn't he afraid of death?

Zhao Shanhe looked at the tiger and said calmly, "Why should I run? You are a vegetarian tiger."

The tiger was delighted when he heard this and quickly asked, "Monk, can you hear me? Can you please cooperate with me? If I fail to complete the task, I will be punished by my master."

Zhao Shanhe nodded and said with a smile, "Of course. Then tell me, what do you want me to do?"

The tiger was filled with gratitude and said, "All you have to do is pretend to be scared and run away. Then my mission will be accomplished."

Zhao Shanhe thought about it and felt that this request was not too much, so he agreed. Then, he pretended to be terrified and shouted loudly: "Ah! There's a tiger! Run!" After that, he turned around and ran away, and it looked like it was really happening.

Seeing this, the tiger immediately let out a deafening roar to cooperate, thinking that the mission was finally accomplished.

At this moment, a middle-aged man in hunter's clothes appeared. He stopped the panicked Zhao Shanhe and shouted, "Master, don't be afraid. Where is the tiger? Let me get rid of it."

Zhao Shanhe stopped and carefully looked at the man who suddenly appeared. He asked, "Are you Liu Bochin?"

The hunter looked skeptical, but he still answered honestly, "My name is indeed Liu Bochin, and the mage knows me."

Zhao Shanhe smiled slightly and explained, "I don't know him. It's just that in Journey to the West, it's written that when Tang Sanzang was in danger at Shuangcha Ridge, Liu Bochin killed a tiger and saved the day. I've studied Journey to the West carefully, and I suspect this Liu Bochin is the reincarnation of the Tiger-Subduing Arhat. I wonder if that's true."

Fu Hu Luo Han was speechless. He had never expected his identity to be discovered. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. Why didn't Xuan Zang play by the rules? Wasn't he deliberately making things difficult for him? He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Xuanzang, why did you do this?"

Zhao Shanhe looked at Liu Bochin and said, "Amitabha, you are truly the Arhat who subdues the tiger. Heaven is merciful to all living things, and the tiger is also a living being. It is loyal to you, so why harm it? Although the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is based on Journey to the West, we cannot just follow the book, otherwise it would be a blasphemy against the way of heaven. If Buddhism wants to flourish, it must be sincere. The tiger that is being subdued is not the fierce tiger in the mountains and forests, but the tiger of desire within your heart. Only when you understand this can you truly achieve the right result."

The Tiger-Subduing Arhat felt he saw the Buddha's presence in Xuanzang. He clasped his hands together, bowed deeply, and said, "Thank you for your guidance, uncle. Thousands of miles away, beneath the Five Elements Mountain, there is a monkey who can protect you. I'll take my leave now."

Zhao Shanhe said quickly, "Nephew, please stay. That monkey is unruly and needs to be bound with a tight spell before it can be released. Please go back and tell them to send the things as soon as possible. The more the better, at least four."

"My nephew will report this to the higher-ups. Take care, uncle."

After the Tiger Subduing Arhat left, the big tiger came out of the forest and said, "Thank you for saving me, monk."

Zhao Shanhe asked in confusion: "Tiger, you knew you were going to die, why didn't you resist?"

Tiger asked back, "Resistance will lead to death, and it will also bring trouble to your family. If it were you, what would you choose?"

"I guess it's the same as you. I really take things for granted. Life is full of frustrations. What are your wishes?"

"I want to join Buddhism, please help me, Master."

Zhao Shanhe pondered for a moment and said, "I will teach you the Diamond Sutra. How much you can comprehend depends on your luck. I will ordain you, and you will officially join the Buddhist sect.

The tiger said with tears of gratitude, "Thank you, Master, for your help."

Zhao Shanhe transformed into Teacher Tony, stroking the tiger's head. The tiger's hair fell off little by little, and a bald tiger was born. It has to be said that it was indeed not very beautiful.

Lao Hu did not dislike Zhao Shanhe's craftsmanship at all. Instead, he looked very proud and tears of joy came out of his eyes. He said loudly: "I have finally become a disciple of Buddhism." It felt like an ordinary person passing the civil service exam.

Zhao Shanhe looked at the frightened white horse with a bit of depression. He said, "Tiger, can't you keep your voice down? Look how scared you made my mount."

The tiger said embarrassedly, "Master, I was so happy that I couldn't help myself. How about I be your mount?"

Zhao Shanhe thought for a moment and said, "Alright, after passing Liangjie Mountain, we'll reach the demon tribe's territory. The white horse really isn't suitable as a mount, so let it go."

The white horse knew that his master was doing this for his own good, so he reluctantly left. Zhao Shanhe then rode on the tiger and set off. I wonder what Tang Sanzang would think if he saw this.
