Lin Xiaoqian prepared a small amount of wontons today, about fifty bowls, but they were almost all sold out in no time.
She specially reserved a portion for Monkey King's clone upstairs, and brought the cooked wontons upstairs to the clone. Lin Xiaoqian sat on the sofa in the lounge area, took out the original "Journey to the West" and paper and pen, and began to write and draw.
The words "Journey to the West Walkthrough" were clearly written on it.
The opening line reads, "Brother Monkey, remember this: if you pass by the Flowing Sand River and see a middle-aged man with red hair and a flamboyant, emo style, wearing a skull around his neck, be aware that he is Tang Sanzang's third disciple on his journey to the West. He was originally a Curtain-Raising General in Heaven, but was banished to the mortal realm for committing a transgression. Introducing yourself will prevent a fight (please be sure to keep your mouth shut)."
'A chance encounter with a luxurious villa in the middle of nowhere reveals a young, beautiful woman with immense wealth, struggling to find an heir? Looking for a son-in-law to inherit the fortune? No way! Only a entrapment (a test of divine intervention) will ensue.'
"At Wuzhuang Temple on Longevity Hill, there is a ginseng fruit tree..." Lin Xiaoqian paused here, blinked, and then wrote, "All expenses at the temple can be paid for by Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Lin Xiaoqian wrote a long, detailed piece of paper, then nudged her clone who was eating wontons nearby, "Brother Monkey, can you see your real body?"
The clone beside him paused for a moment, then blinked, and picked up the paper to read it.
Lin Xiaoqian was relieved to know that Monkey King could see her. She happily knocked on Mo Ying's door and asked, "Mo Ying, have you ever eaten ginseng fruit?"
Mo Ying honestly shook his head.
"Great! I've never had this before. Shall we go to Wuzhuang Temple tonight and try it?"
Upon hearing this, Mo Ying was slightly taken aback and asked, "What do you want to do? You're not thinking of stealing the ginseng fruit, are you?"
Lin Xiaoqian rolled her eyes at him. "What are you talking about? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I plan to visit you openly and honestly this time."
Mo Ying looked at her suspiciously. Really?
Lin Xiaoqian openly showed it to him and explained, "This Zhen Yuanzi is the ancestor of earth immortals. He is a friend of the Three Pure Ones and the Four Emperors. Even Guanyin Bodhisattva has to give him some respect. Why would I be so bored as to oppose him? I'm going to pay him a visit. Just say the word, are you coming or not?"
"Walk."
Lin Xiaoqian picked out a few items from the warehouse and put them into a storage bag. Then, he called Liao Zhuang and Jiang Shuang, and the group headed to Wanshou Mountain.
Upon arriving at the entrance of Wuzhuang Temple, the couplet on the gate reads: "The abode of immortals who live forever, the home of Taoists who live as long as heaven."
Mo Ying looked at the couplet and exclaimed in admiration, "Truly worthy of being the ancestor of earthly immortals."
Lin Xiaoqian quickly took photos of herself and the gate of Wuzhuang Temple to check in. After she finished taking her photos, she called on others to take photos together.
Just then, the gate of Wuzhuang Temple opened, and a young Taoist boy walked out.
Seeing their strange behavior, he couldn't help but ask, "Who are you all, and what brings you to Wuzhuang Temple?"
Lin Xiaoqian and his companions stepped forward and said, "Fellow Daoist, we are disciples of Masters Marx, Engels and Mao. We were traveling and happened to pass by this place. We found the scenery here beautiful and a Taoist temple standing here, so we came to pay our respects."
The young Taoist priest did not recognize Masters Marx, Engels, and Mao, but since they were guests, he politely invited them into the Taoist temple.
After entering, the young Taoist asked the others to wait in the courtyard for a moment while he went in to announce their arrival.
After the young Taoist left, Liao Zhuang couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing, "Little Qian, you're really something, Master Marx, Engels and Mao, hahahaha."
Lin Xiaoqian's face showed a matter-of-fact expression, "Am I wrong? This is the education I received since I was a child. Apart from Mo Ying, do you dare to say that you are not? Also, in someone else's territory, please watch your words and actions."
Liao Zhuang and Jiang Shuang tried hard to suppress their laughter and quickly shook their heads, "Me too, us too."
A short while later, the young Taoist boy came out and said, "Master, please come in."
Lin Xiaoqian and the others followed the Taoist boy into the inner hall.
Incense smoke curled inside the hall, and Zhenyuan Daxian sat high on a futon, exuding an air of otherworldly grace that inspired awe.
Lin Xiaoqian bowed politely and said, "Great Immortal, we juniors have come here without permission and have caused you much trouble. We hope you will forgive us."
Zhenyuan Daxian nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and asked in a gentle voice, "My young disciple told me that you are disciples of Masters Marx, Engels and Mao?"
Lin Xiaoqian remained calm and replied without changing her expression, "Exactly."
Zhenyuan Daxian frowned slightly. He had lived for tens of thousands of years, yet he had never heard of anyone named Marx, Engels, or Mao.
"I spend all my time in seclusion cultivating and rarely go out. Forgive my bluntness, but where is the Taoist temple of Master Marx, Engels and Mao?"
Zhenyuan Daxian wanted to deduce from the master's Taoist temple who this Master Ma Enmao really was.
Lin Xiaoqian stood ramrod straight, head slightly raised, and declared in a resounding voice: "Wherever there are people in this world, that is the sacred ground of Masters Marx, Engels and Mao."
Zhenyuan Daxian was slightly taken aback. When did such a powerful figure appear in the Three Realms?
He did some calculations with his fingers, and although he couldn't see it clearly, it was indeed related to the future of humanity.
It seems that the great calamities and merits of this world in recent years have always been related to the human race, so Zhenyuan Daxian dared not underestimate Master Ma Enmao.
He also began to consider befriending Lin Xiaoqian and his sect.
"In that case, it is fate that you have come from afar. In my Wuzhuang Temple, there is a precious tree called the Ginseng Fruit Tree. Under the clear breeze and bright moon, go and pick a few fruits to entertain our distinguished guests."
The gentle breeze and bright moon accepted the order and departed.
Zhenyuan Daxian and Lin Xiaoqian continued their discussion of Taoist magic, as he wanted to know exactly what made Master Ma Enmao so powerful.
"Since you are all disciples of Masters Marx, Engels, and Mao, you should know their insights into the ultimate principles of heaven and earth. I wonder what they thought the Dao was?" Zhenyuan Daxian looked at Lin Xiaoqian and the others with a calm gaze, his eyes full of inquiry.
Lin Xiaoqian pondered for a moment, his mind flashing back to the knowledge he had learned in political class, before solemnly speaking: "In the view of my sect, the Dao exists in all things in the world. The people's clothing, food, housing, transportation, labor, and livelihood all contain the meaning of the Dao. People create value through labor, improve their lives, and promote social development; this is the Dao."
Upon hearing this, Zhenyuan Daxian's eyes flashed with understanding, and he nodded slightly, "Starting from the livelihood of the human race, it is indeed unique."
Lin Xiaoqian's eyes shone brightly as he continued, "Speaking of which, our sect has made some scientific inventions related to people's livelihoods, and we would like to discuss them with you, Great Immortal."
Just as Zhenyuan Daxian was about to ask, "What is science?"
Lin Xiaoqian took out a tablet from her storage bag, tapped it lightly, and a light screen suddenly appeared in the air, with many square icons on it.
Zhenyuan Daxian narrowed his eyes slightly. Was this an illusion?
He then shook his head inwardly, no, there was no magical fluctuation on the screen.
Lin Xiaoqian held up the tablet and began to introduce it, "This is a unique creation of my sect, called a tablet. You can use it to play games, watch videos, and listen to music. Most importantly, my sect has researched new technology that allows tablets to have a signal even when they are thousands of miles apart, so they can video chat with each other."
