Chapter 490: Chapter 356: The Ruthless Master of the Primordial Beginning, The Astonished Tathagata’_2
In summary.
Zhenyuan Great Immortal and Taishang Laojun thus staunchly took Xuanqing’s side whenever conflicts arose between Xuanqing and Tathagata, regardless of the reason.
Hearing this.
Xuanqing also smiled knowingly, then turned his head andmanded to his subordinates, “ck Bear, go bring out the Drunk Golden Immortal.
“Today, I want to drink merrily with Ancestor Master, elder Zhenyuan, and the Daoist Friends of the Three Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou… till we are thoroughly inebriated.’
“Yes, sir!” The ck Bear Essence immediatelyplied and then rushed towards the direction of the ck Wind Mountain wine cer.
Low tea tables were set up in the main hall of ck Wind Mountain’s Taichu Dojo.
Zhenyuan Great Immortal and Taishang Laojun sat in the main seats, while Xuanqing and the Three Immortals of Fu, Lu, and Shou sat on either side.
Further down were the seats of individuals like Gentleman Bai She, the ck Bear Essence, Qingwan, Bai Ling’er, and others, all arranged ording to their seniority and status.
It’s worth mentioning.
Tang Xuanzang and the Monkey King also sat among the guests.
Everyone was extremely curious about these two, a master and his disciple, who had directly defected from Buddhism and joined the Taichu Dao court,’and frequently nced at them.
As the host.
Xuanqing stood up, picked up the Purple Gold and Jade Goblet, and toasted to Taishang Laojun and Zhenyuan Great Immortal, who were seated in the main seats.
Ancestor Master, Elder Zhenyuan, I am deeply moved by your support for this cause. In this life, may you enjoy the fruits of the Dao!”
Upon finishing.
He then tilted his head back and downed the Drunk Golden Immortal in the jade cup in one gulp!
“Hahaha, good, good. Cheers- ”
Taishang Laojun and Zhenyuan Great Immortal alsoughed heartily, picking up the jade cups in front of them and likewise finishing their drinks in one gulp!
“Ah, this Drunk Golden Immortal is quite good, it has a different vorpared to the pure ginseng fruit or the Nine Thousand Years t Peach.” Zhenyuan Great Immortal couldn’t help but express his admiration.
Even though he had tasted it at the banquet earlier and even packed some when he left, he still found it very refreshing every time he savored it.
“That’s right, that’s right- Xuanqingd, this ck Bear under yourmand is indeed talented, possessing such crafting skills.”
Taishang Laojun also stroked his beard and smiled in admiration.
At his side.
Hearing his master’s Ancestor Master praising him.
The ck Bear Essence quickly stood up, raised his cup, and respectfully said to Taishang Laojun, “Thank you, thank you, Ancestor Master, for your praise. I will strive to brew even better fine wine as a tribute to my master and the Ancestor Master!”
It has to be said.
Despite the ck Bear Essence’s outwardly straightforward appearance, he was indeed very sharp-witted.
From Taishang Laojun’s earlier praise, he was able to react immediately, and from his subsequent words, although he was respectful to Taishang Laojun, the Ancestor Master, he always put his own ‘Master’ first.
For instance, the phrase ‘tribute to my master and the Ancestor Master’, meant to first pay tribute to his master and then to the Ancestor Master, thus showing great deliberation and tact in his words.
Indeed.
After hearing the ck Bear Essence’s speech.
A satisfied smile spread across Xuanqing’s face.
In the Game World, the ones he valued most were Gentleman Bai She, the ck Bear Essence, and Qingwan.
Seeing this scene.
At one side of the banquet.
TangXuanzang’s eyes shimmered, and after a slight hesitation, he still picked up the wine cup on the table and slowly stood up.
Now that he had joined the Taichu Dao Court, he was no longer the monk he used to be, and consuming spirited wine was not considered a vition of any rules he adhered to.
His expression sincere, Tang Xuanzang began, “Dao Master of the Primordial Beginning, I, Jiang Liu’er, am indebted to you for your kind patronage and for directly confronting Buddhism for my sake.”
“There are no words to describe my gratitude. Henceforth, I devote my life…and my souL.to you, the Dao Master.”
‘If one day I stray, may Heaven, Earth, and Human Three Ways reject me, may my spirit be obliterated, and my true essence be annihted!”
At his side.
Seeing Tang Xuanzang standing up, Monkey King, seated next to him, also promptly rose to his feet.
“I am the same as my master. If I ever stray, may Heaven and Earth reject me, may my spirit be obliterated, and my true essence be non-existent!” The Monkey King quickly affirmed his stance.
Seeing this scene.
“Hahaha, good-”
Xuanqingughed heartily, then also picked up the jade cup on the table and emptied it in one gulp. Then, as if he had thought of something, he raised an eyebrow and asked,
“Jiang Liu’er, no, that must be your childhood name, so you mean to say, you have not yet received a Taoist name after entering the Tao?”
“Yes, Dao Master, I… do not yet have a Taoist name.” Tang Xuanzang nodded.
“If that’s the case… then I will give you one, listen closely…”
Xuanqing fell into contemtion.
He was not good at naming, but when facing the protagonist of Journey to the West and considering Tang Xuanzang himself was also exceptional, he felt inspired.
After a moment of thought.
A name… emerged in his mind, inspired by a popr short video he had watched during his mortal days.
Three Burials!
Burying Heaven, Burying Earth, Burying Human, this is what Three Burials means!
Of course.
In this Journey to the West World, the Taoist ancestor who symbolizes Heaven through merging his body with the Tao, the ce of reincarnation symbolizes Earth, and the creatures of the Human World represent Humans.
Obviously, it can’t be exined this way, it needs to be reworded.
With this in mind.
Xuanqing began to speak: “Jiang Liu’er, I hereby grant you the name of Three Burials…what do you think?”
Three Burials?
Upon hearing these words.
The crowd all revealed their bewilderment. Among them, the Taishang Laojun seemed to have thought of something and, stroking his beard, was about to say something.
“I am willing to be named Three Treasures, but… Dao Master, back when I was at Shimen, the king had heard that Mahayana Buddhism has Three Treasures and had named me so. Does that not…
Tang Three Burials hesitated.
To be honest.
He honestly wanted to sever all ties with Shimen, even to the extent of not wanting his name to have any rtion to it.
Just as fervent his faith had been, when it copsed, so deep bes his resentment.
Of course, if the Master of the Primordial Beginning still insists on him using this name, he would ept it, because he has dedicated everything to the Master of the Primordial Beginning.
“Three Burials, ah Three Burials, the burial I give you… is different from the treasure of Shimen’s.”
Xuanqing, smiling, then exined:
“The burial I grant you, is the burial of burying. The so-called Three Burials, it means to bury the past, bury the present, bury the future, to transcend the world, to achieve a peak cultivator like the Tathagata.”
Upon hearing this statement.
At once.
Everyone in the main hall revealed expressions of surprise. They did not expect their Sir to have such grand hopes for this Tang Xuanzang, no, Tang Three Burials, setting even his goal to the worldly peak level of the Tathagata Buddha. Even.
Even Taishang Laojun, Great Immortal Zhen Yuan, and the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals did not expect that the Three Burials mentioned here had this implication.
Especially Taishang Laojun, his face showed a trace of embarrassment.
He initially thought that his disciple was nning to name himself Three Burials as in burying heaven, earth, and the world, and was originally nning to console him, only to realize this Three Burials had this implication, such a troublesome naughty boy- –
At this moment.
“Bury the past… Bury the present… Bury the future? ”
Tang Three Burials murmured softly, his eyes bing brighter.
He understood.
It turns out that the Master of the Primordial Beginning and him were thinking the same way. Undoubtly, this name of Three Burials, besides expecting his own cultivation, is also hoped topletely bury the past, bid farewell to the past, and start a new life in the Dao Court of the Master of the Primordial Beginning!
“Master… I haveprehended it, thank you for giving me the name, I am… Tang Three Burials from nowon!” Tang Three Burials, his hands forming the Yin-Yang Finger Gestures, his aura became sharper.
Upon seeing this.
Xuanqing nodded slightly, a satisfied smile on his face.
And so.
The entire family banquet guest is beaming!
Due to the nature of this gathering being a family banquet, things such as Ginseng Fruit, Nine Thousand Years t Peach, Drunk Golden Immortal, and other treasures were provided in unlimited supply.
No matter whether it was Great Immortal Zhen Yuan or Taishang Laojun, they were deeply satisfied with their cravings.
Even the Fu, Lu, and Shou Three Immortals on the side also imed that joining the Taichu Dao Court was indeed a fortunate thing, otherwise, how could they have such an enjoyable meal.
