Since ancient times, there is only so much passion and hatred,
This hatred lasts forever.
...
Tianpeng has a story, and Li Zhi happens to have a drink. Maybe it's a close relationship, or maybe it's because Tianpeng hasn't had a chance to chat with anyone for many years.
The three of them actually sat in front of the "Yunzhan Cave" door, chattering from noon to dusk.
It turns out that Tianpeng's name is Zhuganghei, whose full name is "The founder of the Nine Heavens, the father of the five directions, the general of the Arctic, the general Zuoyuan, the general, the commander-in-chief Tianpeng Zhenjun". He was once the head of the Four Saints of the Arctic and was in charge of the 80,000 people in Tianhe. Navy.
Zhu Ganghe was originally a subordinate of Emperor Ziwei. After taking charge of the Tianhe Navy, he was secretly attracted by the Jade Emperor many times. Unfortunately, Zhu Ganghe remained unmoved.
Not to mention the Jade Emperor, even Zhu Gangxi's immediate superior, Emperor Ziwei, only has a subordinate relationship with him. However, few people know Zhu Gangxi's true identity, but now he is included in the Taiqing lineage. .
It's a pity that everyone has weaknesses, and Zhu Gangxi is no exception, and his biggest weakness is "lust". What's more terrifying than lust is that a person who is a late-stage Golden Immortal can be trapped by love.
So, who does Zhu Gangxi fall in love with?
The colorful fairy in the Moon Palace is, to be more precise, a jade rabbit.
They were in heaven together, they were in love with each other, and they promised each other three lives. It turned out that Zhu Gangxi was already using his relationship to make good things happen as soon as possible.
When he heard this, Li Zhi was very surprised. Could it be that the rumors were wrong?
"Haha, little junior brother, you must have heard that I, the old pig, molested Fairy Chang'e and was demoted to the mortal world, right?"
Li Zhi's unusual behavior did not escape Zhu Ganghe's eyes. This is already a thing of the past, and there is nothing difficult to say.
"Little brother... little brother, it's just hearsay. It's hard to judge things that you haven't seen with your own eyes."
Li Zhi had no choice but to speak truthfully.
"If the people of the Three Realms knew that I, the mighty Marshal Tianpeng, could be demoted to the mortal world just for having a tryst with a little palace lady in colorful clothes?"
Zhu Ganghe drank another sip of wine, unable to conceal his desolation in his words.
"I believe you all know the final result. 'That one' gave me the title of molesting Fairy Chang'e, and he hit me with two thousand hammers, hitting the lower realm and being seriously injured. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave me the guidance, so that I am waiting here for the pilgrim."
When "that one" was mentioned, Sun Wukong cursed a little on the sidelines, but Li Zhi didn't express any opinions.
However, Li Zhi only dared to believe half of what the seemingly straightforward second senior brother in front of him said. As for the other half of the original reason for waiting for the scripture seeker, Li Zhi didn't believe a word.
Li Zhi is not a native of this world. As an "outsider", he is very aware of the interests of all parties here. How could he be sent to the West to learn scriptures because of an accidental incident of molesting a fairy?
The few candidates who have learned from the experience are the product of competing interests and compromises between several parties. Even Li Zhi himself joined in so rashly, he didn't know when he would be "kicked out".
Although the time is uncertain, one thing is certain, that is, Li Zhi cannot reach Lingshan.
"Second Senior Brother, where is the Fairy in Colorful Clothes after you descend to the lower realm?"
Since Li Zhi didn't want to believe his original intention of learning the scriptures, he had no choice but to follow Zhu Gangxi's "peach incident" and continue to dig deeper.
"Do you know who owned this 'Yunzhan Cave' in the first place?"
Zhu Gangxi did not answer Li Zhi directly, but raised the question again.
Li Zhi naturally knew the answer, but like Sun Wukong, he quietly waited for Zhu Ganghe's secret to be revealed.
"The 'Yunzhan Cave' belongs to 'Second Sister Mao', which was created by Fairy Nishang in the lower world for demons. When I was knocked down to the mortal world, Nishang insisted on following me and secretly went down to the world."
"When she was in the Heavenly Palace, Ni Chang and Fairy Chang'e were both female fairies under the throne of the Taiyin Star, and they were sisters. Fairy Chang'e was the eldest, and Ni Chang was ranked second."
"When she arrived in the lower realm, Nishang revealed her demon body and acted in the name of 'Second Sister Mao'. This is why I married into the 'Yunzhan Cave' as soon as I arrived at Fuling Mountain."
Li Zhi was completely confused. It turned out that the well-known "Second Sister Egg" in later generations was actually a typo of "Second Sister Mao"?
Isn't this too shocking?
"So, where has the 'Second Sister Mao' gone now? Why did you idiot go to Gao Laozhuang to go to Huo Huo's Miss Gao again?"
Sun Wukong finally caught Zhu Ganghye's "handle" and thought to himself, you idiot, are you still here to show your "infatuation"? How could Miss Gao be pregnant with a child?
"Hey, Senior Brother, I don't know something. The second year after I, Old Zhu, and Sister Mao got married in 'Yunzhan Cave', she was captured by someone sent from heaven."
"At that time, I, Lao Zhu, was seriously injured and had not recovered, and my realm had dropped to the early stage of Xuanxian. I was no match for those generals. I could only watch helplessly as Second Sister Mao was taken away."
"Who would have known that she went to heaven and would rather die than admit her guilt. In the end, she exposed her pubic area and lost her soul."
"It was the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave Second Sister Mao a chance to reincarnate. Two hundred years later, she came back and was born in Gaolaozhuang, three hundred miles away. Her surname was Gao and her given name was Cuilan..."
Zhu Gangxi finally finished telling his story, and he let out a long breath.
After being suppressed for so many years, Zhu Gangxi felt very miserable. He was unable to fight against the Heavenly Court, and he did not dare to blame his teacher. He had to continue to obey orders obediently.
I have been waiting for my beloved for so many years, but when we meet again, we cannot recognize each other. Everything can only start again from a complete stranger.
Zhu Gangxi wanted the two to get together again, but they encountered various obstacles from the world. The key is that Gao Cuilan had no knowledge of the past, and Zhu Gangxi was the only one who really worked hard.
Not Fairy Chang'e, but Fairy Nishang?
Nishang is the second sister Mao, the misinformed "second sister egg"?
And after Second Sister Mao was reincarnated, she turned out to be Gao Cuilan in Gao Laozhuang?
Li Zhi felt that with such a bizarre plot, no future drama would dare to write it like this.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother, do you think I can write any more 'retreat documents' to Miss Gao?"
Li Zhi was speechless. Even Sun Wukong, who had no feelings about men and women, felt that he should not blame Zhu Gangxi anymore.
…
"Okay, the wine is almost gone, we should go back. Second Senior Brother, if you really can't bear to part with this 'Yunzhan Cave', just keep it. Set up some formations here, maybe you can come back one day. There’s still a place to stay.”
Zhu Ganghe glanced at Li Zhi gratefully, then turned back and arranged some arrangements before the three of them left Fuling Mountain in the clouds.
"Master, Master, we are back -"
He went fast and came back even faster. Before he fell from the clouds, Sun Wukong started shouting in mid-air.
Gao Laozhuang had already started lighting the lamps. Tang Seng, Gao Taigong, Gao Cai and others heard Sun Wukong's call and hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Ah, the monster...the monster is back again——"
They directly ignored Sun Wukong and Li Zhi, and immediately recognized Zhu Ganghe, who was accompanying them, and retreated back into the room. His appearance was really impressive.
"Amitabha, Wukong, Jiulang, you are finally back."
Sun Wukong and Li Zhi had been away for a whole day, and Tang Seng was also worried for a whole day. Although he believed in their abilities, he could not help but feel worried when they saw them not coming back for a long time.
Seeing Zhu Ganghye's appearance, Tang Seng was not moved by it.
As a monk who has nothing in common, he doesn't judge people by their appearance. What's more, after traveling for more than ten thousand miles, he has seen some monsters.
Besides, Sun Wukong and Li Zhi were standing together with the monster. In Tang Seng's view, they had captured the monster. What else did he have to be afraid of?
"Uncle Clan was worried because we were delayed in dealing with some things, but in the end we were lucky enough to live up to our fate. Second Senior Brother, why don't you come over and pay homage to Master soon?"
Li Zhi came over first to salute, and then ducked out of the way, revealing the pig mane behind him.
"Disciple pays homage to master——"
After looking at Tang Seng's appearance, Zhu Gangxi knew that this must be the rightful owner. He hurriedly put away his laziness and ferocity, knelt down and gave Tang Seng a big salute.
"This...Amitabha, Wukong, and Jiulang, why do they worship me?"
Zhu Ganghe was completely stunned by Tang Seng.
"Master doesn't know something. This idiot, like me, Sun, also received the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva and is waiting for Master here to protect Master while he is studying in the West."
"Master, my disciple Zhu Gangxi was originally the Marshal of Tianpeng in Heaven. Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva gave me a dharma name called Zhu Wuneng. I have also abstained from five kinds of meat and three kinds of disgust."
At this time, Zhu Ganghe was actually afraid that Tang Monk would think he was ugly and would not accept him, so he kept winking at Li Zhi next to him.
"Amitabha, since it is Guanyin Bodhisattva's guidance, the poor monk will accept you. Since you have abstained from the five kinds of meat and three kinds of disgust, how about I give you another alias, just call it 'Bajie'?"
Hahaha, Li Zhi was holding back, not daring to laugh out loud.
The famous "Zhu Bajie" was finally born under my own eyes. This feeling is really amazing!
"Bajie? Thank you Master for giving me the name——"
Tang Monk accepted Zhu Bajie and was naturally celebrating.
When the people of Gao Laozhuang saw that the pig demon had been accepted as a disciple by Tang Seng, they congratulated Tang Seng on the one hand, and they were even more happy to finally send away this plague god.
Having received special instructions from Li Zhi before, Zhu Bajie said nothing about Cuilan.
Now that things are already like this, and Zhu Bajie and Gao Cuilan are so destined, Li Zhi will naturally not stand in the way, but will find ways to consider their union.
The group of people traveling westward said goodbye to Gao Laozhuang on the second day and continued their journey westward.
The first night, according to Li Zhi's instructions, Zhu Bajie secretly went to see Gao Cuilan.
Unfortunately, since Zhu Bajie showed up drunkenly on their wedding day, Gao Cuilan never let Zhu Bajie touch her body again.
On the contrary, before getting married, Zhu Bajie worked in Gao Laozhuang for more than half a year, and the two secretly fell in love. Under Zhu Bajie's various temptations, the two actually became "secretly married".
How can the immortal body be the same as a mortal person if it remains behind?
After all, Gao Cuilan has been pregnant for more than half a year. Not only did she not show her pregnancy at all, but no one in the Gao family seemed to be aware of it?
During this meeting tonight, Zhu Bajie was kept out of the boudoir as usual. What was rare was that Gao Cuilan did not yell.
"Cuilan, there are some things that I, Old Zhu, have not said to you before. We are going to part ways tomorrow, so I think it would be better to explain it clearly to you."
"My identity has been told to you many times before, but you still don't know anything about your own identity."
"You were originally the colorful fairy from the Moon Palace in the sky. We promised each other three lives in the sky, but after you were reincarnated, you lost the memory of your previous life."
"It is God's destiny that we can renew our relationship in Gao Laozhuang. Cuilan, maybe you don't know it yet, but you are actually pregnant with my flesh and blood."
"Now I am about to go west and I won't be able to come back for more than ten years. You must take good care of yourself and take good care of the child in your belly."
"I left two pills for you at the door. Take the red one yourself. It can strengthen your body and maintain your appearance."
"With the white pill, after the child is born, you can turn it into water and give it to him to take. It will protect him from all diseases and keep him healthy and strong."
"Cuilan, wait until I, the old pig, come back..."
…
But it is said that Tang Monk accepted Zhu Bajie, and the team heading west expanded again.
Sun Wukong was still exploring the road ahead, and Li Zhi got a job of leading the horse. Zhu Bajie, who joined last, picked up his luggage with a nine-tooth rake and followed the team at the end.
The real name of his nine-tooth nail rake is "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake". It was forged by Taishang Laojun himself with the power of six dings and six armors using magic weapon iron.
It weighs a staggering 5,048 kilograms with the handle. It is about the same weight as the "Black Cloud Dominating Sun Spear" that Sun Wukong gave to Li Zhi, but its grade is much higher. It is an indispensable item. An acquired mid-grade spiritual treasure with both offensive and defensive capabilities.
If Taishang Laojun knew that the Shangbaoqin gold rake he had worked so hard to build was being used as a burden for carrying luggage, I wonder how he would feel?
A few days ago, Xu Zhu Bajie had just left his "homeland" and was still depressed. Even though Li Zhi secretly gave him two jars of wine, he still didn't feel happy.
Li Zhi simply tried different ways to tease him, even going so far as to go out in person and use the "Black Cloud Dominator Spear" in his hand to fight Zhu Bajie's "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake".
It's a pity that Li Zhi and Ben are no match for him.
The realm is not as good as that of others, and the weapons are not as good as those of others, but he can barely lose to Zhu Bajie in terms of strength and moves.
Thanks to "Cangming Jue", when he was promoted to the second level, he obtained the "powerful" characteristic, and then obtained the "bloodthirsty" and "god-destroying" characteristics from Mo Wen and Chunwu. Spear technique.
"Junior brother, although you can't survive fifty rounds in the hands of the old pig, you should be proud of yourself."
"You have to know that you are still in the middle stage of 'God Transformation', and I, old pig, am in the early stage of 'Golden Immortal'. There are still four or five major realms left in between."
"In my opinion, ordinary heavenly immortals and true immortals may not be your opponents. Even if you encounter a mysterious immortal, you are still capable of fighting."
Zhu Bajie is not looking up to Li Zhi, what he said is very pertinent. The key is that the characteristic of "powerful" is too terrifying. One force can reduce ten levels, and strength is the foundation for being able to leapfrog challenges.
The country of Uzang is vast and sparsely populated. There are barren mountains and deserts everywhere. The group of people did not walk very fast, but it made it easier for a few people to discuss things.
It's either Li Zhi versus Zhu Bajie, or Li Zhi versus Sun Wukong. Sometimes, Li Zhi even tries his best to encourage Little White Dragon.
Who makes Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's cultivation level too high? They are both in the early stage of Golden Immortal, and they are not in their heyday, so they can easily control Li Zhi.
On the contrary, Xiao Bailong was "only" at the early stage of Xuanxian, and he was using a sword, so he suffered a little loss due to the weight of the weapon.
Even so, two hundred and twenty rounds were the limit that Li Zhi could endure in a fight with Xiao Bailong.
Realm, realm?
Li Zhi's fighting experience and skills have increased a lot through repeated battles with his senior brothers, but his cultivation level still relies on hard work.
Therefore, every night when he stayed, no matter what the environment was, Li Zhi never slept. Instead, he practiced "Cangming Jue" on the futon. Time was too precious for him.
Under the leadership of Li Zhi, the entire scripture-seeking team has virtually turned into a mobile training group. Except for Zhu Bajie who occasionally sleeps when he is lazy, everyone else is practicing all night long, even Tang Seng is no exception.
More than three months passed like this, spring blossomed, and Li Zhi turned fourteen.
It has been almost a year since they left Chang'an. The Westward Journey team finally left the Us Tibetan Kingdom. Another large mountain appeared in front of them, with forests of ancient trees towering into the clouds.
"Disciples, the mountain ahead is so steep, are there any monsters?"
Tang Monk reined the white dragon horse under his seat and looked around. Sun Wukong and Li Zhi also used the "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes" and "Destroy the Illusion Golden Pupils" one after another.
"Haha, Master, are you scared? There won't be any monsters here."
"This mountain is called 'Futu Mountain'. There is a Zen Master Wuchao in the mountain. He is a truly Taoist monk. Even the old pig in his heyday may not be able to go fifty rounds in front of the old Zen Master. "
"He also persuaded me to practice with him. Unfortunately, Lao Zhu was not the kind of person who could endure hardship, so he politely declined and went down the mountain to become a monster."
"Master, look, didn't Zen Master Wuchao come to pick you up in person?"
Sure enough, a tall old monk walked up in front of everyone. He had a bald head and a silver beard. He looked very steady, but he couldn't tell what kind of cultivation he had.
Li Zhi and Sun Wukong looked at each other, and both shook their heads without any trace.
Sun Wukong's "fiery eyes" do not have the ability to see through people's cultivation, but Li Zhi is really incompetent because his level is too low.
Tang Monk had already dismounted his horse and paid homage, but the old Zen master just gave him a hand.
"Holy monk, please get up. I'm not welcome, I'm not welcome--"
Zhu Bajie also hurried forward to greet him.
"Old Zen Master, long time no see. Do you remember me, old pig?"
"Oh, you are Zhu Ganghye from Fuling Mountain? How come you have such a great destiny to be able to walk with the holy monk? What a joy and congratulation -"
"So that the old Zen master will know that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave me some advice earlier and asked me, old pig, to become the master's disciple, so I can follow him to the Western Heaven."
Zhu Bajie explained hurriedly, with a happy face.
"No wonder, no wonder, you are good at nature. You need to serve me diligently from now on and don't be lazy again."
Zen Master Wuchao seemed to be very happy for Zhu Bajie. After all, this was the person who fell into his eyes and wanted to be his disciple.
"I wonder who these two are?"
Zen Master Wuchao looked at Sun Wukong and Li Zhi again, especially staying on Li Zhi for the longest time. He also frowned thoughtfully from time to time...
