Chapter 187 Treasure Hunt ~Lucky Star~
Li Muyang stared wide-eyed at the five-person pilgrimage group.
The five members of the pilgrimage group were left in an awkward situation.
Good heavens, so many years have passed, why do people still know about this embarrassing history?
Having read the script, they naturally knew what the original script was called!
Li Yunfei coughed lightly and said, "Son, you shouldn't insult someone by bringing up their weaknesses! You've really hit a nerve!"
Li Muyang looked completely innocent: "What's so heartbreaking about this? I reckon that besides you guys, I'm probably the only one here who knows what this word means. By the way, how do you guys even know this word?"
Monkey King shrugged: "Look at the script! The director gave it to me!"
Li Muyang (′-i_-｀): Okay, there is indeed scripted behavior in Lucky Star Treasure Hunt.
But... who's the director?!
It was obvious that the five members of the pilgrimage group didn't want to bring up their past embarrassing history again. They didn't dare to mention the director's existence at all, and even Li Yunfei kept quiet. Li Muyang could only suppress his curiosity.
Our own world clearly has Journey to the West! We even have a sequel to Journey to the West! We also have Investiture of the Gods. If there's anything we don't have... it's probably DC.
Well, their own world doesn't have DC. To be precise, it doesn't have the DC that Li Muyang remembers. There is Warner Bros., and there are similar works that replace DC. It's just a pity that many of the characters and plots don't match up!
The problem is... there really is a rich guy named Bruce Wayne over there, and there really are outstanding people in Gotham City, and even in Metropolis, there really is a superhero who wears red underwear on the outside and flies around.
What serious DC movie company even makes a cultivation story?! Which version is this? It can't just be a script randomly inserted by the Heavenly Dao, right?
Li Muyang didn't even dare to imagine how strong he would become if Superman started cultivating.
I suddenly feel fortunate that cultivation resources abroad are monopolized by powerful families, making it difficult for ordinary people to access them; otherwise, I really don't know what kind of chaos would occur.
Well, in the foreign countries of the main world, in the eyes of those powerful and high-ranking people, the lives of ordinary people are not even considered lives. They are more like experimental subjects. Most of the time, the focus is on scientific research results.
Even the powerful outsiders, or more accurately, superheroes, mostly rely on mutations and superpowers, making them overnight millionaires.
As for the powerful and wealthy outside, it's less about them cultivating themselves and more about them becoming like the followers of gods or believers.
Adhering to the principle that since we're already here, we definitely need to have a good chat with the five members of the pilgrimage team!
To be honest, Li Muyang prefers the Lucky Star version of the five-person team! Because this version of the five-person team is so "approachable" and "down-to-earth"!
As a comedy anime, it is packed with jokes, and those jokes are still relevant today. Most importantly, the plot satirizes many social phenomena.
The Tang Monk here isn't a pushover; at the slightest disagreement, he'll have Wukong beat him up. Yeah! Simple and brutal!
Things are different now. People are cultivating their character and temperament—referring to Monkey King—so even the Tang Monk himself has stepped in! Don't underestimate Golden Cicada's strength!
Yes, this version of Journey to the West does indeed have a conspiracy theory element, but Jin Chanzi happens to be a part of the plan.
As they chatted, Tang Sanzang glanced at Li Yunfei, who was having a lively conversation with Monkey King, and then whispered to Li Muyang, "Muyang, do you know who your parents are?"
Li Muyang blinked, smiled knowingly, and shook his head: "I don't know, I don't want to know, there's no need to know."
Tang Sanzang finally breathed a sigh of relief. He had made such a big mistake earlier, and Li Muyang's eyes had clearly changed. How could he possibly cover it up? Luckily, Li Muyang didn't care!
Otherwise... well, he can't afford to offend Old Tang!
Li Yunfei also glanced at him silently. The child is growing up, and he was actually thinking about when to tell him. The problem is, the kid doesn't ask!
Surely he, as the father, can't be the one to chase after the father and tell him?
This silly boy is too mature for his age!
But it doesn't matter. Just like Li Muyang said, there's no need to know. Identity is just identity. Right now, he's just Li Yunfei, an ordinary Chinese researcher.
As for having my wife tell her, there's even less need. So let's just maintain the status quo and wait for the day when I inexplicably find out! Let nature take its course. If I don't know, I don't know; if I do know, I'll know.
The main idea is to lie down and give up.
"Hehe, meeting is fate. Come, come, Muyang, take this!" Tang Seng chuckled and handed Li Muyang a little trinket, a small, glittering golden cicada. Hmm, it was clearly alive! At first glance, it was even a bit cute?
Li Muyang was speechless. What's wrong with you immortals? Do you all like to give each other gifts when you meet?
Last time, Little Vajra gave me gourd seeds, and this time, Tang Sanzang is giving me a golden cicada! Should I take it or not?
Tang Sanzang smiled knowingly and said, "Muyang, you need to understand one thing. We definitely won't give gifts casually. The only people who give gifts on the first meeting are juniors we know and have a long-standing relationship with, understand? To put it bluntly, it's all about social etiquette! If I had descendants, your parents would most likely give gifts too, so accept them without worry."
WTF?
Li Muyang's lips twitched violently. Holy Monk, where did you get your descendants from?
"Hmph, the story is just for reference. Master isn't really a bachelor." The second senior brother snorted and said, "It's just that the mistresses didn't come down with us this time."
Li Muyang (；￣д￣): ……6!
It's absurd yet contains a tiny bit of logic.
Silently accepting the Golden Cicada, Tang Sanzang personally presented it to her. This Golden Cicada was clearly not comparable to the Golden Cicada King Gu that Nan Ying had drawn last time. That was just a Gu worm. To be precise, the Golden Cicada that Tang Sanzang gave her was probably the ancestor of the Golden Cicada lineage!
Six-winged Golden Cicada!
It's certainly not a ferocious beast-level existence, but it's probably a divine beast-level bloodline.
"May I ask, Holy Monk, where did you get this thing?" Li Muyang casually remarked, a strange look in his eyes. Logically speaking, this thing should be considered your descendant, right?
Could it be that he had children with the "teachers' wives"? The scene was a little hard to imagine!
Tang Sanzang waved his hand dismissively: "It's a small matter. I have already refined the true form of the Six-Winged Golden Cicada. It is just a bloodline Golden Cicada that was condensed by consuming a little power. Innate beings have this ability to reproduce asexually and can condense bloodlines by relying on power. I have converted to Buddhism and am no longer a Golden Cicada. I can't let the Six-Winged Golden Cicada lose its bloodline, can I?"
Li Muyang broke out in a cold sweat, and the cicada in his hand felt burning hot.
"Relax, these little things have been cleansed by Buddhist scriptures for so many years, the ferocity of the six-winged golden cicadas has almost completely dissipated. Besides, they themselves came from my bloodline, so they naturally carry my habits and are no longer as crazy as they used to be!"
Tang Sanzang noticed Li Muyang's concerns and explained.
However, Li Muyang complained with a complicated expression, "Now that you mention it, Holy Monk, I'm even more worried that this Golden Cicada has learned bad habits from you! It might be smoking, drinking, and getting perms, right?"
Tang Sanzang (′-i_-｀): ……
Heartbroken!
No! When did I ever get my hair permed? With my already sleek and stylish hairstyle, how could I possibly get it permed?
Well, what I'm implying is, Holy Monk, you really do smoke and drink?
Despite his complaints, Li Muyang still accepted the golden cicada with a smile and thanked Tang Sanzang: "No matter what, I am very grateful for the gift from the Holy Monk!"
As he spoke, Li Muyang took out five Bodhi seeds and secretly slipped them to Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang didn't react at first and tried to push Li Muyang's hand back, but when he touched Li Muyang's hand, he fell silent. His hand, which had been pushed out, was frozen in mid-air, and he didn't know what to do.
Li Muyang, with a keen eye, reached out and stuffed the item into Tang Sanzang's pocket. Well, perhaps the five of them found suits too unflattering, so they had all changed into business jackets, making them look more and more formal than the last.
By the time Tang Sanzang "realized" what had happened, the gift was already in his pocket. The holy monk said "annoyedly," "Muyang, according to age and seniority, I am your elder, and according to cultivation, I am also your senior. It is only right that I give you a gift. How can I accept your gift?"
Despite saying that, he still stuffed it in with his hand, showing no sign of taking it out.
Li Muyang inwardly complained, but outwardly he still agreed and explained, "It's no big deal. I have a tree there, so I don't need this. Just consider it a tribute to the senior! Besides, it's not all for the Holy Monk; there's also a share for Brother Monkey and the others! Please accept it without worry."
Tang Sanzang looked at Li Muyang in bewilderment. "You have a tree there? What the heck? By the Buddha Mother! You let this kid plant it in the ground?"
No! Tang Sanzang suddenly realized, how could this be! This Bodhi seed is clearly not of the same grade; it seems to be a Bodhi tree from another world.
Only then did I feel relieved; otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to lift that Bodhi seed!
Although it wasn't a particularly valuable return gift for Tang Sanzang, the Bodhi seed was definitely very precious to Li Muyang. At least that's what Tang Sanzang thought. His gaze towards Li Muyang immediately became much kinder. Originally, he was only looking at Li Yunfei and Xiao Xuanyan out of respect, but now he genuinely liked him!
This young man is so sensible!
"Alright! We can't just take your things for nothing! If you ever have any trouble in the future, just come to us, the five of us! We'll definitely help you if we can!" Tang Sanzang said, waving his hand.
Li Muyang naturally offered some polite words, but he would certainly accept the favor.
Otherwise, these bodhi seeds would be given away for nothing!
The conversation between the two could be heard by everyone else, including Number One and the others.
The seating arrangement was generally based on strength, but Tang Sanzang deliberately pulled Li Muyang to sit next to him, probably initially because of something he had let slip, and he didn't expect things to develop like this later.
Bodhi seeds? That's good stuff!
Li Yunfei and Xiao Xuanyan remained silent. Li Muyang had already secretly given them a few of these things when they met before, and they had to thank their Shennong Beast at home! He was an absolute professional when it came to farming.
It can not only induce labor, but also has no side effects.
Shennong Beast products are always top-notch! Look for Shennong Beast!
