I, the poor monk Tang San, buried the sky, buried the earth, buried all living beings

The Mountain Carrying Technique is one of the magical powers among the Eight-Nine Profound Arts. Like the Bull Demon King, Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, they are also proficient in this technique and are therefore very familiar with it.

"It's done. The underground fire veins can no longer cause any major waves. From now on, Flame Mountain will be peaceful!"

Tang Ku once again boarded the brick and came before the Bull Demon King, laughing and saying, "Let's go back and reunite with them, and then we can talk about what happened here!"

Lao Niu nodded and followed Tang Ku back to the place where Yang Jian and the others lived. They didn't notice at all that under the mountain that Tang Ku was pressing down, strands of tender shoots continued to grow out, forming longer vines and spreading towards the entire mountain.

"Hey, Saint Monk, is this the mount you collected?"

Nezha watched Tang Ku get off the brick's back and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement, "This guy looks... so unique, so funny!"

Tang smiled bitterly and said, "If you want to have fun, go play with him... Just now, I found this thing down there. It's now called a brick. It was transformed from the furnace brick of Taishang Laojun. Because it is connected to the earth veins, it has become like this over the years..."

At that moment, Tang Ku described the following situation. Yang Jian, knowledgeable and experienced, pondered, "So, the earth spirit is actually the mastermind, causing this furnace brick to mutate... and the two should be interdependent. As for the changes in Flame Mountain, considering what you saw, I think if this... um... brick was awake, Flame Mountain should be very peaceful. It's because the earth spirit put the brick to sleep in order to cultivate together. The flame power was left unattended and ran wild, resulting in the omnipresent fire of Flame Mountain!"

"Exactly that!"

Tang Ku clapped his hands and said, "I think so too. Now that there's no room for the two to combine, the fire of Flame Mountain will never be rekindled. This can be considered a merit, and I've also got such a good mount... Well, it's really comfortable on my back!"

Everyone laughed, but Nezha, who was teasing a brick not far away, ran over angrily and said to Tang Ku, "Holy Monk, can I kill that guy?"

Yang Jian asked curiously, "What's wrong?"

Nezha's face flushed crimson as he raged, "I was fooled by this thing... Damn, I asked it if it could speak human language, and it said it only knew two words. I asked it which two words, and it actually said 'spare my life'! I said, 'I didn't say I wanted your life, did I?' And then it turned around and said 'I only know two words'... Later I found out that this thing only knew those two words. Shit, I actually got fooled by this stupid thing!"

Tang Ku looked at Nezha with a smile on his face: "I thought it was quite interesting, so I didn't tell you. I was fooled by it just now!"

Everyone was stunned. They turned to look at the brick that was catching the butterflies, then looked at the monk and Nezha who seemed very smart, and they all laughed out loud.

"Well, it seems that even the smartest people sometimes have to make mistakes one day!"

The Bull Demon King said with a helpless smile.

"Master!"

Shi Jingmo stood up from the pile of rocks nearby, still supporting the weakened Hasgard, and said to Tang Ku, "He's fine now!"

Tang Ku nodded, walked up to them, looked at Taurus, and suddenly smiled: "How about it, are you convinced? Our world is full of masters. If it weren't for your master's strange power, you would have a hard time even gaining a foothold in this world!"

Hasgart glanced at the Bull Demon King with lingering fear, then suddenly revealed a helpless smile and said, "Shi Jingmo is right. The power I hold in my hands is illusory. I took a detour in my pursuit of power!"

"Then...are you still going to keep going?"

Tang Ku said in a calm voice.

"I...I don't know!"

Hasgart glanced at Shi Jingmo and smiled helplessly. "I'm not like him, with a clear goal. I'm completely lost. I have no idea what path to take next! My only faith is the goddess. Now that I can't return to my own world, what's the point of living?"

“Everyone’s life has meaning!”

Tang smiled bitterly and said, "It's just that people are controlled by obsession, so they can't see the truth! In fact, in this world, there are many places worth exploring and discovering. If you are willing, you can completely break free from the control of your master like Shi Jingmo, travel the entire world, and perhaps you will understand the true meaning of power..."

"Breaking free from the Master's control... does that mean... that means destroying my current strength?" Hasgard looked at his hands and suddenly clenched his fists. "I don't know if I have the courage to do it... I'm too used to the existence of power. I'm afraid..."

"Fear and confusion are normal human emotions. In fact, you don't have to suppress these emotions at all!"

Tang smiled bitterly and said, "A single thought exists in your heart. Obsession is your driving force, but it is not a rope that binds you. You need to open your mind a little more. Don't confine yourself to this holy garment. When you have the courage to make a decision, you will understand how to proceed!"

Hasgart's eyes were full of confusion, and he seemed completely unable to understand Tang Ku's words.

"Hasgarth, as an old friend, I have to say a few words to you!" Shi Jingmo suddenly curled his lips and said, "You are just too stubborn. The master is not sure whether he can save the goddess Athena. Are you really going to help him wholeheartedly?

Don't forget what the previous Pope was like... A Saint's faith isn't about being obsessed with loyalty to someone; your true loyalty lies in your own heart. My master's point is, saving the goddess is actually very simple. As long as you give up the false power in front of you, cultivate your own strength, and cultivate it to a level comparable to that of a god or even a saint, you will be able to break through the void and return to your own world. At that time, you will also understand more things!

Hasgart was stunned for a moment. In a flash of thought, his Taurus Cloth automatically fell off, transforming into a golden bull, standing beside him. Hasgart's face suddenly broke into a bright, sunny smile, as if nothing was a problem for him.

"Amitabha, well done, well done!" Shi Jingmo laughed, "You finally figured it out!"

"Jingmo, you're being too blunt, but... it seems to work better than mine!"

Tang Ku smiled and nodded, looking very teachable. At the same time, he thought to himself, "It seems that these stubborn people need this kind of straightforward method to get them to transcend!"

The Bull Demon King, Yang Jian, and Nezha on the side all took a step back, watching the master and disciple pretending to be cool, and became secretly alert.

"I absolutely cannot let these two masters and apprentices lecture me, absolutely not!"

The three of them thought in unison.
