The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1331

Chapter 1331: Chapter 1328: The Trust to Deliver a Letter Chapter 1331: Chapter 1328: The Trust to Deliver a Letter “As mentioned earlier, there are indeed many who do not believe that the demon troubles have been pacified. It's just that the various races of the Three Realms each have their own concerns now, and it seems difficult to unite as before, let alone discuss the Demon Clan together,” the Bodhi Ancestor said slowly.

“Compared to the joint effort of the various races to crusade against the Demon Clan, Junior is actually more concerned with the outcome of the battle at Chang'an in Dreamland. Junior and many fellow Daoists fought desperately to reseal Chiyou, yet for some reason, it affected the affairs of the world from a thousand years ago,” Shen Luo said, frowning.

“Changes in the past influencing the future are not difficult, but changes in the future affecting the past are illogical. I'm afraid that after your death in the dream, some other change must have occurred,” the Bodhi Ancestor responded.

“Junior also thinks so, and has come to Mount Fangcun precisely for this matter,” Shen Luo said, standing up.

“You want me to help you fix this jade pillow and send you into the dream of the future again? I'm afraid I might disappoint you, old man. I'm not skilled in this way, and I haven't even figured out the jade pillow, not to mention repairing it for you,” the Bodhi Ancestor shook his head and said with a wry smile.

“Elder misunderstood, Junior has already obtained the method of repair from Tianji City. Now, I'm just lacking some treasures to assist in repairing the jade pillow,” Shen Luo hurriedly said.

“You're saying that within my Mount Fangcun, there is something that you need?” the Bodhi Ancestor asked, raising his eyebrows slightly.

“That's right. Junior has come this time precisely to borrow the 'Map of Mountains and Rivers' from Elder. Once the repair is complete, I will surely return the treasure,” Shen Luo said with a clasped fist and respectfully.

Upon hearing this, the Bodhi Ancestor's expression visibly changed, and he fell silent for a time.

His gaze fell on Shen Luo and he began to size him up.

Shen Luo immediately felt as if he was being seen through, and subconsciously shrank back a little.

“It's not that the old man doesn't want to trust you, but this object is of great importance. I cannot hand it over to you, as it may very well bring harm to you and lead to your death,” the Bodhi Ancestor said thoughtfully.

“Could it be that those monks with suspicious movements who have gathered at the Mountain Gate are all here for that object?” Shen Luo immediately associated to a certain possibility.

“It seems you've noticed them too?” the Bodhi Ancestor's eyes lit up as he said with a smile.

“So, is the sealing of Mount Fangcun also because of this?” Shen Luo asked.

“You could say that. The matter is quite complicated and can't be explained in a few words,” the Bodhi Ancestor waved his hand and said.

“Elder, is there anything Junior can help with?” Shen Luo, who had a special sentiment towards Mount Fangcun, couldn't help asking.

“Do you know who is targeting Mount Fangcun this time?” the Bodhi Ancestor hesitated for a moment before asking.

“There are many different people at the mountain's base, and Junior only had a brief glimpse. It is impossible to distinguish their identities, but it seems that the Demon Clan's involvement is inevitable,” Shen Luo said.

“The Demon Clan… Indeed, the unrest in the Three Realms nowadays always involves the shadow of the Demon Clan. But this time it's not that simple, and this matter is not something you can meddle with,” the Bodhi Ancestor sighed.

Hearing this, Shen Luo fell silent.

Although he had reached the early stages of a True Immortal, his cultivation level and combat power were still insufficient. At least when facing an enemy who could engage with the Bodhi Ancestor, he would certainly stand no chance.

“In that case, Junior will take leave now and won't cause further trouble for Elder on the mountain,” Shen Luo said.

“I thought you would speak of advancing or retreating together with Mount Fangcun; isn't that a surprise?” the Bodhi Ancestor said, somewhat unexpectedly, when he heard Shen Luo's words.

“Junior's cultivation methods are all from Mount Fangcun, and I have long held respect in my heart for Elder and the Sect, but Junior feels he still bears an unfulfilled mission and thus cannot speak such words,” Shen Luo shook his head and replied.

“Your temperament is very much to the old man's liking. Perhaps there is one thing you could do for the old man,” the Bodhi Ancestor pondered and said.

“Elder, please speak,” Shen Luo said respectfully.

“Go to the Oversea Immortal Mountain of the Eastern Victorious Divine Continent, to the Water Curtain Cave in Flower Fruit Mountain to find my disciple Sun Wukong, and bring him the letter of my behest,” Bodhi Ancestor pondered briefly, then said.

Shen Luo was not unfamiliar with Flower Fruit Mountain, having visited it once before in a dream.

“Alright, I can take this task on your behalf, Elder. It happens that I also have some matters to attend to at the East Sea Dragon Palace,” Shen Luo considered for a moment before promptly agreeing.

“This old man only asked you to deliver a message, not to do so in exchange for the Map of Mountains and Rivers as a reward,” Bodhi Ancestor slightly raised his eyebrows and said, looking at Shen Luo.

“It's just running an errand and delivering a message. If Elder is offering the Map of Mountains and Rivers as a reward for such a small favor, I would have to doubt whether the map is genuine,” Shen Luo replied with a smile.

“Then I will be in your debt,” Bodhi Ancestor merely lifted his teacup, saying.

“Since I'm unable to assist with the affairs on the mountain, I will depart immediately for Flower Fruit Mountain,” Shen Luo said with a salute of his fist.

“There is no rush at this very moment. Rest here on the mountain for the night. Tonight, with the stars as a foundation, I will hold a sermon for my disciples. You and your traveling companions might as well come and listen too,” Bodhi Ancestor sipped his tea and said.

“Even though I am not a disciple of Mount Fangcun, may I still sit in on the lecture?” Upon hearing this, Shen Luo became overjoyed.

“Tonight, as I give the lecture, I will be the one to decide,” Bodhi Ancestor said with a smile.

“Thank you, Elder,” Shen Luo immediately bowed deeply in gratitude.

“The lecture is still some time off, so let the Daoist Child lead you to rest awhile,” said Bodhi Ancestor.

Shen Luo bowed once more in thanks.

When he straightened up, a white dazzling light appeared before him and a gateway to the Void materialized.

With a single step forward, he was back in the thatched cottage.

Outside the cottage, Fu Donglai was carefully holding a teacup and savoring the tea. He did not have much interest in wine, but he had a particular fondness for fragrant tea.

“If you two would please follow me,” the little Daoist priest, who evidently had already received instructions from Bodhi Ancestor, led them both toward the guest residences halfway up the mountainside.

Evening.

In the midst of Mount Fangcun, there was a spacious square.

Several hundred sect disciples were seated cross-legged, arranged fan-like around the center of a simple lecturing platform raised about three feet above the ground.

Shen Luo and Fu Donglai were also placed among them, neither too far nor too close to the lecturing platform.

As the evening sun slowly set and the moon's early light rose, the deep blue sky became bright with the light of Venus, and a Daoist figure took form from the gathering light, appearing on the platform and sitting down cross-legged.

The disciples of Mount Fangcun did not stand up but all respectfully chanted in a loud voice: “We welcome the Ancestor's sermon.”

After Bodhi Ancestor appeared, two figures also materialized beside him, both in Qing-colored Daoist Robes. One with slightly high cheekbones and a stern face was Jue Ming, who had previously stopped Shen Luo and his companion at the Mountain Gate.

The other portly Daoist, whom Shen Luo had learned about from the little Daoist priest, was Jue An, another personal disciple of Bodhi Ancestor. Like his Senior Brother Jue Ming, was one of Bodhi Ancestor's vital aides, responsible for the myriad affairs of the Sect.
