Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

After finishing the good deed, Du Qian left alone, hiding his merit and fame.

He had already recognized Miss Duan's identity as the heroine in the movie, the female exorcist who had an emotional entanglement with Chen Xuanzang.

The entire "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons" tells the story of Chen Xuanzang's demon transformation before embarking on the journey to the west.

In this world where demons are rampant, immortals and gods are invisible, and mortals are suffering, Chen Xuanzang, in order to save the world from suffering, became a disciple of a meat-and-potatoes monk who claimed to be a disciple of Mahayana Buddhism.

From the fair-weather monk, Chen Xuanzang didn't learn any skills other than theories and ideas. The only means of exorcism was just a child's play book called "Three Hundred Children's Songs."

It was with this book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" that Chen Xuanzang embarked on the path of becoming an exorcist. During the subsequent journey, he met the heroine Miss Duan, surrendered the fish demon and pig demon, and finally realized the nature of Buddha. Suppressed Sun Wukong who escaped from trouble.

In Du Qian's understanding, none of the main characters in the entire story is an ordinary person.

Needless to say, Chen Xuanzang himself was the reincarnation of the same Golden Chanzi, the second disciple of Sakyamuni.

And the meat-and-wine monk can know the true origins of many demons and monsters. He can also disguise the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra" as "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and claim to be Mahayana Buddhism. He is obviously the incarnation of Tathagata Buddha.

As for Miss Duan, this girl is no ordinary person.

The indefinite flying ring in her hand eventually turned into a golden hoop on Sun Wukong's head.

Combined with the plot of the original "Journey to the West", there is no doubt that this is hinting at the identity of Miss Duan's incarnation of Guanyin.

Of course, except for the meat-and-potatoes monk who clearly retained his Buddha nature, most of the other incarnations of immortals and gods have fallen into catastrophe and cannot remember their identities and memories of their previous lives at all.

But even so, Du Qian still didn't want to meet Miss Duan at this time.

After all, the only offensive magical power he currently has is [cursed fire].

Other magical powers, even the golden [Lonely Beauty Self-Admiration] and [Avoiding Reality and Emptying the Void], are all auxiliary and defensive magical powers.

Under such circumstances, problems can easily arise if you rashly appear under the noses of Tathagata and Guanyin.

If they could crack the system, wouldn't he be delivering food?

Unless Chen Xuanzang is also present.

It can be said that among the many characters in "Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons", the only one Du Qian can befriend with confidence is Chen Xuanzang.

Moreover, he is also the protagonist of the plot, the undoubted central figure in Journey to the West.

With him here, even if Tathagata and Guanyin discover Du Qian's problem, they won't be able to intervene on the spot and interfere with the plot.

So Du Qian has already made up his mind. Before he becomes truly powerful, the prerequisite for him to participate in the plot is that Chen Xuanzang must be present!

Thinking of this, Du Qian couldn't help but quicken his pace and walked towards the inn.

At this moment, a figure suddenly appeared and stopped in front of him.

Du Qian paused and looked at this person in surprise.

I saw a thin young man standing in front of Du Qian. He was wearing shabby clothes and a dirty chicken coop on his head. He clasped his hands and saluted Du Qian seriously.

"Amitabha, on behalf of the folks in Hai'an City, I would like to thank the benefactor for your help!"

"..."

Du Qian twitched the corner of his mouth and looked at the young man's unconventional attire suspiciously.

This means Cao Cao, has Cao Cao arrived?

Why did he just think of Chen Xuanzang, and Chen Xuanzang appeared in front of him?

...If there is a ghost, there must be a ghost!

Du Qian thought firmly in his heart.

At the same time, Chen Xuanzang straightened up and said in a serious tone: "It's just a donor, how can you curse others?"

"……Um?"

Du Qian was slightly startled, then said with black lines on his head: "Did you hear that?"

Chen Xuanzang nodded and said seriously: "I heard it."

Du Qian's eyes widened and he said confidently: "As a monk, how can you eavesdrop?"

Chen Xuanzang was startled for a moment, and then said with some shame: "Sorry, donor, I am an unordained Mahayana Buddhist disciple, and I am not familiar with many Buddhist precepts. You..."

"What me!"

Du Qian interrupted Chen Xuanzang's words, waved his hand and said: "Mahayana Buddhism, right? I've never heard of it. If you have nothing else to do, please find someone else to preach. I'm very busy!"

"Hey, donor!"

Chen Xuanzang quickly stopped Du Qian and said helplessly: "Donor, you misunderstood. I am not here to preach to you."

"The thing is like this, my name is Chen Xuanzang, and I am an unorthodox disciple of Mahayana Buddhism. Some time ago..."

Du Qian couldn't help but said: "Wait, tell me a long story, try to summarize it to less than twenty words. If you say too much, I'm afraid that I will accidentally enter the Dahua studio next door, so I can't help but give you a Du-style massage." "

"..."

Chen Xuanzang immediately closed his mouth, his face turned red, and he remained silent for a long time without saying a word.

Du Qian couldn't bear it anymore and couldn't help but said: "What are you doing again?"

Chen Xuanzang carefully looked at Du Qian's expression and whispered: "I am considering the language and try to condense it to within twenty words."

Du Qian's cheek muscles twitched and he stared at Chen Xuanzang for a long time before sighing and saying: "Okay, you say it!"

Chen Xuanzang swallowed and said cautiously: "I am a trainee exorcist. I just took over the task. I am scared and want to find someone to form a team."

God is so damn scared!

Du Qian had a look of disgust on his face and couldn't help but take a step back.

At this moment, the familiar system prompt sounded in his mind again.

"Ding--"

"Congratulations to the host for triggering the plot mission [Subjugate the Fish Demon], the mission reward, and an advanced lottery opportunity."

Story mission?

Premium sweepstakes opportunity?

Du Qian was slightly startled, and then he felt happy. He quickly opened the system panel regardless of Chen Xuanzang's presence in front of him.

[Story mission: Surrender the fish demon]

[Task description: A fish demon suddenly appeared in Yulong Village. This fish demon was originally a kind person. He rescued a drowning child by the river. However, the belated villagers mistakenly thought he was a human trafficker and beat him to death. His body was thrown into the river and allowed to be eaten by fish and wild beasts. He was so resentful that he eventually transformed into a half-fish, half-animal water demon and came back to take revenge on the villagers]

[Mission goal: Subdue the fish demon and awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in the fish demon’s heart]

[Task reward: One advanced lottery opportunity (you can specify the type of magical power, and the magical power must be blue level or above)]

Du Qian was delighted when he saw the description of high-level lottery opportunities in the mission reward, but then he realized that something was wrong.

Because in the mission goal, in addition to subduing the fish demon, there is also an outrageous requirement to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in the fish demon's heart.

If Du Qian remembers correctly, in the plot of the original movie, Chen Xuanzang never awakened the truth, goodness and beauty in the monsters' hearts, and each time he subdued the monsters with stronger violent means.

This kind of thing that even Tang Seng couldn't do, the system actually wanted him to do it.

Du Qian said he couldn't accept it and protested seriously.

But unfortunately, the protest was invalid and the system said I couldn't hear it.

Du Qian had no choice but to turn off the system panel and look at Chen Xuanzang who looked confused in front of him.

"So, you want to go exorcism with me?"

"Yes." Chen Xuanzang nodded and said seriously, "I don't take any money from the mission reward, it all goes to the benefactor."

Du Qian frowned and said, "Why do you suddenly want to form a team with me?"

He had such doubts when he just heard Chen Xuanzang's request.

After all, in the movie, Chen Xuanzang is a courageous mortal. Even if he is really afraid of monsters, he will only face difficulties. How could he suddenly be dragged into exorcism?

... Could it be the influence of Buddha or the system?

Du Qian thought this in his heart.

Chen Xuanzang showed a smile on his face and said with some embarrassment: "To be honest, I noticed the benefactor from the very beginning. The benefactor first made fire in the crowd, causing Miss Duan to take action, and then relaxed the demonic man. Because of his vigilance, he was eliminated by Miss Duan..."

"I saw all this series of behavior."

"But at that time, I was confused and couldn't figure out why the donor would do this."

"It wasn't until the end that the benefactor secretly took action and caused the two men who threatened the hostages to spontaneously combust. That's when I finally came up with a guess."

Having said this, Chen Xuanzang paused and lowered his voice and said: "Donor, if I guess correctly, this kind of barrier that prevents everyone from attacking each other should also be the benefactor's method!"

"..."

Du Qian was startled, and immediately looked at Chen Xuanzang with great interest.

Sure enough, Chen Xuanzang was as wise as a fool. He seemed to be naturally dull, but in fact he was very wise.

He was actually able to see the relationship between Du Qian and [avoiding the truth and turning to the false] from Du Qian's actions.

To be honest, if it were Chen Xuanzang, if it were anyone else, Du Qian would greet his family at the same time he said these words.

For the sake of the system mission, Du Qian thought for a moment and whispered: "That's right!"

Chen Xuanzang was immediately overjoyed: "Great, I knew it!"

"The donor has such a skill. As long as he uses it, the fish demon will not be able to harm the villagers. At that time, I can use my own methods to awaken the truth, goodness and beauty in the fish demon's heart?"

……oh?

When Du Qian heard this, his heart moved. He wanted him to assist Chen Xuanzang!

However, it doesn’t seem impossible?

Du Qian blinked his eyes and asked knowingly: "Awakening the truth, goodness and beauty of the fish demon?"

Chen Xuanzang nodded solemnly and said: "Yes, it is said that human beings are inherently good in nature at the beginning. I believe that even monsters who do evil have truth, goodness and beauty deep in their hearts. My exorcism method relies on this exorcism book to awaken the monsters." The truth, goodness and beauty in my heart..."

As he spoke, Chen Xuanzang took out the worn book and wrote in five characters - "Three Hundred Children's Songs".

Du Qian took a serious look at "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and nodded in agreement.

"It makes sense, well said!"

"……Um?"

Chen Xuanzang was slightly stunned. He was already prepared to be laughed at by Du Qian, but he didn't expect that the other party would nod in agreement.

To be honest, this is the first time he has seen someone agree with him since he left the school for so long.

Chen Xuanzang couldn't help but ask: "Donor, do you believe what I say?"

Du Qian nodded decisively and said, "Believe it, why don't you believe it?"

"To be honest, although I have not entered Buddhism, I still have a compassionate heart."

"You should have seen how merciful and merciful I am when you look at my Great Compassion and Harmony Barrier that can't hurt anyone. If you and I join forces, we will surely torture the fish demon... ahem, we will definitely be able to wake up the fish. The truth, goodness and beauty in the demon’s heart!”

With that said, Du Qian put his arms around Chen Xuanzang's shoulders and said in a friendly tone: "Come on, good brother, without further ado, let's set off now!"

"Do you have a map? Mark the location quickly. Let's go and get back quickly. Maybe we can make it in time for dinner. Oh, by the way, what do you like to eat? You don't mind the fish fillet sashimi, right?"
