White Lotus Enlightenment in the Ancient World

Bai Yi was pretending to be a mortal woman, but she didn't expect to be seen through by the young man in front of her.

"Don't be afraid, fellow Taoist, you also know my master."

Wu Ling's tone was respectful and did not overstep his bounds. Bai Yi also noticed that he was not lying, and there were not many seniors who could be called masters, so Bai Yi nodded and followed him into the city respectfully.

Chaoge City was buzzing with people. Although the Nuwa Palace was closed for one day after King Zhou sent incense, people who burned incense almost broke through the threshold after that day. Emperors came to pay homage specially, and the common people like them were even more convinced. Doubtful.

Bai Yi had been cultivating in Qingqiu for several years and had never been to a human city-state. Now that she saw the scenery, it was naturally novel. She also bought a sugar cake from a passing vendor and wanted to go back and try the taste.

What she didn't expect was that the young man in front of her didn't take her to any palace compound. Instead, he went straight to the largest inn in the city, Yunlai Inn.

The Yunlai Inn in Chaoge City can be said to have all the necessary facilities. In addition to food and accommodation, there are also gentlemen who sell stories and stories, as well as talented people who recite poems and compose poems.

It occupies such a large area, and I heard that the boss behind it had some connections with princes and ministers, so I built the inn.

At this time, the boy waiting at the door burst into laughter when he saw the visitor. He pushed away the sour Taoist master and disciple in front of him and came forward to greet him.

"Hey, little brother, you are back. Did your trip go well?"

In fact, he didn't know who Wu Ling was and what he did, but this customer was generous and tipped him for every pot of tea he served. He also wanted to make some extra money.

But the little Taoist priest behind him was not happy when he heard this, and he stepped forward and grabbed the boy's sleeves.

"How come you don't understand the principle of first come, first served? How can we just go and entertain others before we have chosen a room?"

The Taoist who was obviously the master quickly grabbed the Taoist boy and apologized to everyone.

"I'm sorry for being so reckless. My friend, please be busy first and we'll take a look later."

The little Taoist priest wanted to retort but was stopped by the master. When he stared at him, he didn't dare to yell any more.

Wu Ling had only been practicing Taoism for a short period of time and did not understand the sophistication of the people here. He casually threw down a bunch of copper coins and asked the boy to bring a pot of tea, then took Bai Yi to the private room on the top floor.

After the people left, the little Taoist asked angrily.

"Didn't Master say that there is always injustice on the road? How come we have to swallow our anger even when we are being bullied?"

The old Taoist was afraid and patted him on the shoulder with a soft tone.

"You kid, don't be so rigid. The young master just now obviously possesses immortal magic and is probably not a disciple of an expert. We are here to do justice, not to stir up troubles. Sometimes we can see more clearly by taking a step back!"

The old Taoist priest's eyes were deep, thinking that Master Qiu was taught by Taiyin and passed down the great art of swordsmanship. Only poor people like them had the opportunity to see the prosperity of the world. If they were aggressive and refused to give in, wouldn't it be against the principles of the teaching?

The little Taoist priest disagreed.

"Tch, you are just timid. Elder Li always walks sideways, how can he be as careful as we are?"

"Hey, you kid is looking for a fight!"

The master and apprentice looked like father and son, and it was fun to fight. The diners next to them were so amused that they asked the old Taoist priest to stop.

"Huh, this guy is really annoying!"

There was laughter in the lobby, and Bai Yi had already followed Wu Ling to the door of the private room. When he knocked on the door, he heard a voice asking him to come in.

When she entered the door, she saw a young master enjoying tea and playing chess with a girl. Bai Yi's initial confusion instantly turned into shock. She recognized the jade lock on the young man's neck!

"Little fox pays homage to the master!"

"Haha, get up and wait until I finish playing this game of chess."

How could Bai Yi not agree? She bowed respectfully and stood quietly behind Wu Ling. At this time, her eyes were involuntarily attracted to the chess game.

I saw that the black chess had already formed an encirclement and surrounded the white pieces, but the young man did not panic. When a piece fell, the situation suddenly turned around. No matter how fierce the black chess was, the defeat would be embarrassing.

Li Shan shook his head helplessly.

"Master's master's chess skills are beyond the reach of his disciples."

Chang Yi smiled and shook her head: "No, it's your indomitable Taoism that obscures the scenery on the side, otherwise I would lose this round."

As he spoke, Chang Yi looked at Bai Yi, who was standing quietly aside.

"Can you see any clues?"

"Uh... me?"

Bai Yi was a little stunned when she was asked. Her chess skills could only be said to be beginners, so she couldn't tell what her skills were. At this moment, she was hesitating and couldn't explain why.

Chang Yi didn't embarrass her, and directly understood the deeper meaning.

"You see, this black man looks ferocious, but after a single attack, no one is left alive. Fortunately, the remaining ones are just the remnants of the defeated army. They are just waiting for the white man to kill them all. And what's the big event in the court? So?"

"this……"

Bai Yi's eyes flashed and then she fell into deep thought. The master was obviously telling her the principle of protecting yourself wisely.

If the Shang Dynasty was defeated, could Empress Nuwa really save her, a "monster" who poisoned the human race? But if you want to protect yourself, how can you harm Shang Zhou?

Thinking of this, she couldn't help but frown. The original plan to harm the merchant was disrupted by this chess piece.

Chang Yi couldn't help but chuckle when she saw her being silent for a long time, pulling Bai Yi back from his thoughts.

"The great calamity cannot be disturbed, but why don't you become a chess player?"

Bai Yi suddenly realized when he heard this, yes! She was not alone, she came with her two comrades, and not to mention those evil monsters outside, so why should she end up there herself?

"Thank you for the tip, sir!"

Bai Yi was overjoyed and quickly knelt down to thank her. The master had given her a way to survive! Otherwise, how could she, a fox who has done many evil things, have a good ending after the catastrophe?

Chang Yi waved her hand and picked up the ordinary tea on the table.

"You need to consider the fate of this yourself. If you can do it properly, you can also obtain the position of the female envoy of calamity."

"The little fox will live up to the master's instructions!"

"That's right, go ahead and don't delay the Holy Mother's orders."

Bai Yi burst into tears with gratitude. After kneeling three times and kowtowing nine times, she turned into a breeze and flew to the inner courtyard of the palace. She planned to explore the situation first.

Chang Yi in the Nuan Pavilion took a sip of the bitter Fan tea in the cup and couldn't help but let out a long sigh of relief.

"It's really difficult for her. She wants to harm others but also wants to protect herself. However, this Nuwa Empress has become a shopkeeper, or is she trying to kill the donkey?"

Lishan next to him heard such words for the first time and couldn't help but be curious.

"Since this woman is the master of disaster, do you think the gods will let her go because of this?"

Unexpectedly, Chang Yi chuckled and shook his head silently. Immortals are actually just like mortals. How could they give up such an opportunity to show off their achievements? Even if it is stained with karma, we must get rid of this "sweet potato"!

Putting down the clay tea cup, Chang Yi looked at Chaoge from a distance and saw mortals bustling and busy making a living, little did they know that a great disaster was about to come.

But being so ignorant and fearless is not a blessing. They don't have to calculate and work like the gods and long for those illusory opportunities.

"The tribulation energy in Chaoge City is very thin now, and there is no big event at the moment. Wu Ling, you go find a secluded house and we will stay here for a few days to watch the fireworks in this world."

"My disciples obey."

Wu Ling accepted the order with his hands, and then pushed open the door and left like a mortal, without using the earth walking technique that he specialized in.

This was Chang Yi's special instruction. It had been many years since I had seen an immortal in the mortal world, so it was better to keep a low profile.
