When Liu Menghan came outside, the steward came up to him and said with an apologetic smile: "Miss Liu, I'm so sorry. We may have to close early tonight. Something unexpected happened. It happened to be your performance. This is really..."
Liu Menghan glanced at the Supreme Treasure, winked at him quietly, and then said seriously: "Oh, so that's it... It's a pity that there are so many dignitaries from the Second City tonight, and the gift money for this performance..."
The steward quickly said: "We will pay half of the gift money according to the contract. Miss Liu has no objection, right?"
Liu Menghan nodded slightly, "Well, in that case, it's fair. Then, Manager Wang, I'll leave first."
"Okay, okay, girl, it's easy to go."
Before leaving, Zhizunbao still remembered Liu Menghan's lesson, called the boy who was on duty with him, and then took half of the money given by the guests and let them divide the money among themselves.
These young men were originally hostile to Zhizunbao, but seeing that he was such a good person and benefited everyone, their hostility immediately decreased a lot, and they all praised him loudly.
It was the first time for Zhizunbao to do this kind of thing. He was so sophisticated and would not pretend. After taking out the money, he did not take advantage of the opportunity to win people's hearts and just left.
Although everyone thought he was a weirdo, money moved people's hearts, and how to distribute the money next was the most important, and the conflicts that broke out after that were no longer what the Supreme Treasure cared about.
High in the sky, Xu Yin's eyes were focused on the Supreme Treasure, and he looked over its past, and found that it was not much different from what he knew.
Unexpectedly, Monkey actually worked as a handyman for Wei Zheng for a period of time and learned a lot.
"I can also control the cause and effect line of Sun Wukong. This is really weird. I should pay attention to it in the future. Who makes him the protagonist of this world?"
At the same time, Xu Yin also noticed that the conversation between Liu Menghan and Sun Wukong related to the ancient legend of this world, which was actually suppressed by the Buddhist and Taoist families in the modern world and was not allowed to be spread. It was only spread on a small scale among the demon clan.
Because the ancient bronze sword once said that there are guardian gods in this world who are the wishes of all living beings, and they have always protected civilization from being corroded by external gods.
If we look at this situation now, could it be that the gods in ancient legends are the guardian gods made possible by the wishes of civilized sentient beings in this world, while Buddhism and Taoism are the foreign gods?
So why do they suppress the desire for civilization? What benefits can they ultimately gain?
When Xu Yin asked the Ancient Bronze Sword, the Ancient Bronze Sword only asked him to find the answer on his own.
Xu Yin had no choice but to continue to stay high in the sky, observing many movements in the mortal world through the white jade talismans scattered throughout the world.
Liu Menghan took Zhizunbao back to Tingxiang Pavilion where he lived, and began to teach Zhizunbao how to play drums rhythmically with music.
Zhizunbao is quite perceptive, and he can master it as soon as he learns it, and he can master it with a little practice, which surprised Liu Menghan.
After playing a song with him, he saw that Zhizunbao made no mistakes, so he happily asked him to perform with him next time, instead of doing the work of a servant and being teased by a group of dignitaries.
After Zhizunbao went to rest, Liu Menghan played the piano alone and couldn't help but recall everything he encountered in his dream.
"Why did the heroine in the Second City encounter spiritual pollution? I heard my grandma once say that our Dream Tapir clan was born in the sea of consciousness of all living beings, and the opportunity was the time when the pollution of spiritual consciousness appeared.
There was a period in history when the sea of consciousness of all sentient beings encountered turmoil, and unknown, hell-like and desperate pollution continued to spread in the sea of consciousness.
Therefore, every time someone falls asleep and encounters pollution, it will be like falling into hell, his consciousness will be wiped out, and his body will become alienated into an indescribable appearance.
Either it turns into a bunch of twisted tentacles, a pile of rotten flesh, or a monster with eyes, fangs, etc.
If this pollution spreads, I am afraid that all living beings will turn into purgatory and civilization will be annihilated. Therefore, all living beings have a subconscious desire to purify this pollution.
Our dream tapir family was born under this powerful will, but in fact, we can only prevent this pollution from spreading, rather than eliminate it.
The pollution itself has become another kind of existence under the will of all living beings, and the river of Hades that merges with the reincarnation of all living beings has become another kind of existence. It is said that the Nine Netherworld Palace is the embodiment of this wish power. Unfortunately, no one knows where the Nine Netherworld Palace is.
Now that the pollution has disappeared, how did it reappear in the world? When I meet grandma another day, I must tell my tribe about this."
On Luo Xiuxin's side, her father Luo Jianming also rushed back in time to make sure that there was nothing wrong with his daughter, and he felt relieved a little.
After Luo Xiuxin fell asleep again, Luo Jianming found Xu Lan and asked about the scene in her dream again.
However, due to the hint given by Liu Menghan, Xu Lan could not recall Liu Menghan, so he could only vaguely say that he had cut off the core of the nightmare.
Luo Jianming frowned and said: "The origin of nightmares is mysterious. It is said that only Dongsheng Shenzhou and Xiniu Hezhou have the truth.
Your junior sister only had a fight with Su Huaiming, and then encountered this incident. Although I don’t think Su Huaiming has the ability to control nightmares, I still hope that you, Laner, can investigate this matter carefully."
Xu Lan nodded seriously and said: "Nightmares cannot be controlled by the devil. This kind of existence is like a monster. It will harm anyone when it encounters it. The disciple will do his best to find the truth."
Luo Jianming patted him on the shoulder, "Although this matter will delay your scientific examination study, this scientific examination... His Majesty does not want to select anyone from among them to serve as an official."
Xu Lan was surprised and said: "The imperial court does not want to select people to serve as officials. Why is this?"
"Master, I took advantage of my position and learned some inside information. I am telling you this because I know that you, Lan'er, have always been very stable in your words. This matter must not be spread outside.
For this imperial examination, Your Majesty wants many students to go west to gain experience, go through ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, use cause and effect as a boat to cross the sea of karma, and then go to Xitian Leiyin Temple to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures."
Xu Lan inexplicably remembered Jiang Liu'er and the theory of consciousness-only theory proposed by Jiang Liu'er.
He said: "If the Buddha is willing to spread the Dharma, why not come directly to our southern continent and teach the Dharma in person, which will surely benefit the world a lot."
Luo Jianming smiled coldly, "Haha, maybe it's the idea that the Tao should not be taught lightly. How can you teach the Dharma easily without making the world go through a lot of torture? Maybe that's what it means.
In short, the core lies in the nine-nine-eighty-one difficulty. I feel that this matter is quite strange, and I do not recommend that you participate in this trip to the west. If you simply give up on the imperial examination, it will not be a big deal."
Xu Lan smiled, and his smile looked quite strange.
Luo Jianming couldn't help but ask: "Why is Lan'er laughing for no reason?"
"Oh, Master, I am thinking of a friend who came to Beijing with me. This person once questioned in public that the key step on how to become a Buddha was deliberately concealed in the Buddhist scriptures handed down from generation to generation.
The disciple thought that if he knew about this, there would be so many people accompanying him on the journey to the west, and he would be happy to move forward bravely, hehe, although this person's character is sometimes very inconsistent."
