The curse of the white tiger is gone, and the eight-hundred-mile "White Tiger Ridge" has gradually regained its former aura.
Of course, from now on there will no longer be "White Tiger Ridge", but will be renamed "Jiulang Mountain". The female slayer even used great magic power to set up a large protective formation in the core area of "Jiulang Mountain".
The place is six hundred miles away. Due to the female slave's own reasons, she could only stay in the underground palace, but Bai Ling built a residence above the ground.
Now that the human body has been completely restored, naturally he can no longer live in the cave. Based on the appearance of human houses, a place covering an area of 100 acres was built.
Li Zhi was delighted when he saw it. He felt itchy and wrote the inscription "Xuanyuan Pavilion" himself.
Regardless of whether they are the female slaves, Li Zhi or Bai Ling, they are all disciples of Huangdi Xuanyuan, so it is not an exaggeration to use this as their name.
In the main hall, Nvba even made a stone statue of Xuanyuan Huangdi with her own hands.
When the first stick of incense was lit, Emperor Xuanyuan, who was far away in the Fire Cloud Cave, received the incense from "Xuanyuan Pavilion".
"Female slave? How many years have I suffered from you..."
He was still dressed in imperial attire. He had not yet recovered from the trauma he had suffered while helping Li Zhi overcome the calamity a few days ago, but his sharp eyes could not conceal his kindness.
"Second brother, you didn't get this heir for nothing. I'm even a little envious..."
The man on the side, wearing the skin of a tiger and leopard with leaves covering his shoulders and waist, is none other than the Earth Emperor Shennong. Looking at the screen of light that appeared in front of him, he could not hide his envy in his words.
Li Zhizheng knelt on the ground and muttered something. Behind him were Mo Wen and Chun Wen kneeling side by side, and behind him was Bai Ling.
"Haha, how about I spread the word about this guy and ask him to change "Xuanyuan Pavilion" to "Three Emperors Palace"? "
The person wearing the imperial uniform is naturally Huangdi Xuanyuan. Of course, what he said was just a joke.
Li Zhi had the courage to call that place "Xuanyuan Pavilion", and there is evidence to support it. If it were really changed to "Three Emperors Palace", it would cause trouble.
The female slave did not show up, but she was also praying silently in the underground palace.
"Sister, if this "Jiulang Mountain" is managed well, it can be used as a shelter. Mo Wen and Chun Wu are my two avatars. I want to keep them here to practice, which can also be considered as leaving you two helpers. They are all in the early stages of cultivation as "Celestial Immortals" now, and they hope that their senior sister will give them more guidance in the future. "
Li Zhi naturally had nothing to hide about the female martyrs. He just felt that his resources were limited, so it was better to keep Mo Wen and Chun Wu, so he casually gave each of them ten kilograms of "ginseng fruit wine."
"Mo Wen and Chun Wu have met Senior Sister——"
Mo Wen and Chun Wu, one on the left and the other on the right, saluted the female demon.
"Gee, my junior brother is really extraordinary. He even has two clones? Just leave them here with peace of mind. Within a hundred years, I will definitely give you two "Golden Immortal" level helpers. "
The mountain-protecting formation was activated, and the spiritual energy within a radius of thousands of miles slowly gathered. Both Nuba and Li Zhi believed that before long, this "Jiulang Mountain" would definitely become an excellent place for cultivation.
Choosing this place as a stronghold was the result of Li Zhi's careful consideration.
For one thing, the female slave cannot leave here easily. Even if she wants to leave, where can she go?
Thousands of years have passed, and the ancient Xuanyuan Terrace has changed. Even the Yellow Emperor Xuanyuan lived in seclusion in the "Fire Cloud Palace" and was not allowed to step into the Three Realms.
Secondly, to the east of here is the "Wuzhuang Temple" of Wanshou Mountain in Zhen Yuanzi, and to the west, the "demon" will leave soon.
It can be said that within a radius of ten thousand miles, there are no too powerful monsters causing trouble. With the two "Golden Immortal" level masters, Nuba and Bai Ling, they are enough to hold up the scene here.
But the female demon is not a simple "Golden Immortal" level. After getting rid of the seal, coupled with the increasing rise of "Jiulang Mountain", it is just around the corner to restore the former Da Luo realm.
"Then thank you, senior sister. When we were at the "Wuzhuang Temple", I also told Brother Zhenyuan that if Hou Qing and Ying Gou dare to come again but are defeated, senior sister can go to the "Wuzhuang Temple" for help. . "
"Sister, there is a saying in the human race, "If you keep the green hills, you won't have to worry about running out of firewood."
”, don’t act out of anger, keep it useful, no matter how many grievances you have, there will always be a time to settle accounts in the future. "
Li Zhi was afraid that the female tyrants would have a strong temper. If those two came, the female tyrants would be no match for them, but they would still fight to the death, which would be troublesome.
"Okay, how come you are the mother-in-law at such a young age? How many years have I lived, senior sister? Don't you still understand the importance of this?"
"If nothing else, if they really come, wait until they can break the mountain-protecting formation."
At this time, in "Jiulang Mountain", the "Bagua Qianyuan Formation" was deployed by the female lord. This was the painstaking work of Emperor Fuxi, and it was passed to the female lord by chance.
This formation is rare in the Three Realms, but its power is not inferior to Taishang's "Liangyi Mote Formation".
It's just that the female slayer lacks the perfect materials to set up the formation, so she can only use local materials. The power of the "Bagua Qianyuan Formation" has been greatly reduced.
Even so, it is not something that ordinary Daluo Jinxian can break through, not to mention that there is someone in charge of the formation.
After everything was settled, Li Zhi just went on the road.
…
At this time, Tang Seng, his master, and his disciples finally arrived at the first human country, Baoxiang Country.
"Master, we finally encountered a country. The people here look really strange. They all have high noses, curly hair, and their eyes are actually brown..."
This was Zhu Bajie's voice. He was not really happy to be in a country. To meet a large city-state, he could always have a good meal and then sleep peacefully.
Besides, no matter how strange these people look, can they still be as strange as their three brothers?
"Wukong, when we left Chang'an, the Tang Emperor gave us a "Customs Clearance Certificate". Whenever we encounter Guobang, we should go to the court to change the official documents. We'd better get down to business first. "
It has been three years since I came out. Along the way, I have encountered desolate mountains, wild forests, deserts, and rivers, as well as scattered villages and towns. Only when I suddenly encountered a country did Tang Monk remember the "Customs Clearance Document".
After all, it is the capital of a country, and there is an endless stream of people coming in and out at the city gate.
Before the hour came, the city gate became bustling. Tang Seng and others had to line up in order if they wanted to enter the city.
"Amitabha, this old man, why do so many people gather at dawn?"
Taking advantage of the gap in the queue, Tang Seng greeted an old man in front of him.
"Oh, it turns out you're an elder. Are you from somewhere else? This is the "Baoxiang Kingdom". Today is July 19th, and it's the day when His Majesty the King posts the imperial list. I don't know that this time the reward has increased. How much? "
Tang Seng was confused, and the old man seemed unwilling to elaborate, so Tang Seng had no choice but to follow the flow of people.
When they approached the city gate, Tang Seng and his disciples finally saw the content on the imperial list.
The general meaning of what is written above is that the third princess of Baoxiang Kingdom, Princess Baihuashy, was accidentally lost when she went hunting thirteen years ago today.
It was the apple of His Majesty's eye, and she had been missing for only twenty-eight years, so His Majesty posted a notice offering a huge reward to anyone who could find the Princess.
Unfortunately, year after year passed, and the king even sent out a large number of troops to search all the mountains within a thousand miles, but there was still no trace of Princess Baihuashy.
Many old ministers persuaded the king to give up. If the person is really still alive, why is there no news?
However, His Majesty the King also accepted death and felt that his precious daughter must still be alive.
In addition to sending people out to search regularly, a reward list is posted every July 19th, and the rewards are getting richer every year.
For example, now, the size of the reward has been increased again. Anyone who can provide information will be rewarded with 10,000 gold. Anyone who can find the princess is willing to share the world and the country with her.
"Hey, Master, do you want to make a small fortune?"
After reading the contents of the imperial list, Sun Wukong approached Tang Monk and asked with a smile.
"Wukong, can you find the Flowery Princess? If you really have the ability, you might as well find it for them. As for
Gold, silver and jewels are nothing more than external possessions, so don’t be greedy. "
After practicing, Tang Seng became less pedantic and more chivalrous.
"Hehe, don't worry, Master. This is a shameless princess. If she's still alive, ask the land. If she's dead, ask the King of Hell. If there's another monster or something nearby, hehe, that would be more fun."
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he blew gently and saw the imperial list on the city wall swaying into Sun Wukong's hands.
"Look...look, why did the imperial list fly away?..."
"Here, someone revealed the imperial list——"
"Really or not, after thirteen years, has someone finally revealed the emperor's name?"
For a time, there was a lot of discussion inside and outside the city gate.
The officers and soldiers guarding the imperial list also squeezed through the crowd and came to Tang Seng and his disciples.
"These... elders are polite, but are you waiting to reveal the royal reward list?"
A general at the head looked at Tang Seng's master and disciples. He had seen the world. Seeing the appearance of these people, chills ran down his spine.
"Amitabha, it was the monks and disciples who revealed your inscriptions. Please introduce your Majesty the King to you."
Anyway, he was going to see the king to change the "clearance document". Sun Wukong was very confident about finding Princess Baihuashy, so Tang Monk naturally looked at ease.
In this way, the master and apprentice, four people and one horse, followed a group of guards into Baoxiang Kingdom and walked towards the palace.
…
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty is so happy——"
The leader of the guard asked his men to lead Tang Seng and his disciples slowly, but he himself rode Juechen and ran into the palace first to report the good news to the king.
The king of Baoxiang Kingdom is a middle-aged fat man. He is tall but has small eyes. He has a thick beard and is not angry or intimidating.
"General Sasser, didn't I ask you to post the royal list? Why did you come to the palace? What's the happy news for the lonely king?"
Not to mention it's a happy event, it's so sad that I'm going to die from it.
This King Baoxiang also experienced a fierce battle for the throne, and finally fought his way out and became the leader of a country.
After taking the throne for more than 20 years, he also married many concubines. Unfortunately, he only gave birth to three princesses, and the first two princesses unfortunately died in infancy.
Only the third princess, Bai Huaxian, was left. Thirteen years ago, she was lost in the mountains.
In the past thirteen years, the Lord of Baoxiang has worked hard in many ways, while constantly selecting concubines, hoping to give Lin'er another chance, even if it means another princess.
On the other hand, countless people were sent to look for the lost Princess Baihuashy.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't see a glimmer of hope.
Thirteen years have passed. The once decisive generation of commanders is now not only about to empty out his body, but also faces the danger of being forced into the palace by the royal family.
He has no heir. Once he leaves Hexi, the throne will naturally fall into the hands of others.
And some of those ambitious people can't wait to connect secretly, and from time to time they even make some small moves.
"Your Majesty, the reward list you asked the general to post was revealed by some holy monks. They threatened to find Princess Baihuashy. The visitor will be at the palace soon."
General Sasser finished speaking with great joy and waited there quietly.
He himself is a direct descendant of the leader of Baoxiang Kingdom. If he can find Princess Baihuashy, not only will he get some rewards, but the most important thing is his own job.
Only then can it be preserved for a long time.
"What? Someone revealed the royal list? Please invite me quickly - no, the lonely king has to go and greet him in person."
The Lord of Baoxiang could not wait any longer. He had not heard from him for thirteen years. Once he saw hope, one can imagine how he felt at the moment.
"Amitabha, the poor monk Tripitaka of the Tang Dynasty, the Lord of Baoxiang Kingdom——"
As soon as he entered the palace gate, Tang Monk saw a group of people walking in front of him. The leader was dressed in royal robes, with flags, gongs, umbrellas and fans behind him. Following him was the commander of the guard.
Tang Seng judged that,
The person coming must be the king of Baoxiang Kingdom, so he took the first step to salute.
"No ceremony, no ceremony, the holy monk is so good-looking, he turns out to be from the Tang Dynasty. Please come in quickly——"
The lord of the country personally picked him up, which was enough to give Tang Seng and his disciples face, but these few didn't think there was anything worth touching.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha have all seen the big scene. The Jade Emperor in Heaven has also seen it. Regardless of their status, they don't know how many times they want to beat the king.
As for Tang Monk, he has been a monk since he was a child and has not adhered to secular etiquette. Moreover, he is from the Tang Dynasty and is the sworn disciple of the Tang Emperor. He treats foreigners with the pride of the Tang Dynasty in his heart.
As a result, the Lord of Baoxiang became more respectful to these few people. How could he be an ordinary person when he saw that the king of a country could still have such magnanimity?
Lord Baoxiang personally accompanied him. He did not go to the main hall of the court, but rushed directly to the "Guanglu Hall" to prepare a banquet.
"The elder is a holy monk of the Tang Dynasty. Why did you come to my country of Baoxiang?"
After all, he is the leader of a country, and his excitement after hearing the good news for the first time was suppressed by years of self-cultivation.
"To report to the Lord of the country, the poor monk was sent by our emperor to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in Xitian to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. He passed by Baoxiang Kingdom and came here to change the official document."
"At the city gate, I saw the notice posted by the king. Maybe the poor monks and others can do something."
When he heard that the other party was just here to change the official list, the Lord of Baoxiang was still a little disappointed. It was not until Tang Seng took the initiative to mention the matter of the official list that the Lord of Baoxiang regained his smile.
"Haha, the Tang Dynasty is great. It is full of treasures and outstanding people. When you see the appearance of a few elders, you know it is an extraordinary place."
"My son Baihuaxi was pitiful. He was lost in the mountains thirteen years ago and has never been heard from again. I wonder how Elder Tang can help him?"
Lord Baoxiang looked at Tang Seng eagerly, but Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong aside.
"Your Majesty, I am the grandson who has taken care of the missing person. I wonder which mountain your beautiful princess was lost in, in what direction, and how far away is she?"
After receiving Tang Monk's look, Sun Wukong jumped out, which shocked the Lord of Baoxiang.
"This elder was the last general who accompanied the princess on a hunting trip. To the southwest, in Wanzi Mountain, three hundred miles away from here."
The commander of the guard army replied from the side, his voice was very low, as if he was afraid of angering the Lord Baoxiang.
That incident happened, and he hated and regretted it for thirteen years.
Fortunately, he is a close confidant of the King of Baoxiang. He has been with the King for decades. Not only has he not been punished, he still holds the position of commander of the guard army.
Unfortunately, the more this happened, the more the commander blamed himself, and thirteen years passed in a flash.
Three hundred miles?
Sun Wukong was very surprised that he couldn't find him even though he was so close, and he was still living in peace after so many years. Could it be that he thought wrongly?
To the southwest, the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" can be seen far away. Although Sun Wukong does not have Li Zhi's "clairvoyance" characteristics, it is only three hundred miles away.
Is that Wanzi Mountain? So beautiful.
Wanzi Mountain is also called Wanzi Mountain because of its numerous peaks, green cypress trees, clear springs, flowing water, spring flowers and autumn fruits, and a myriad of purples and reds.
There are many cliffs, and the rock patterns in them are also colorful, which is really beautiful.
Sun Wukong glanced around, but did not find any evil spirit. On the east cliff with undulating peaks, he saw a faint light of Buddha, but it seemed like Xuanxuan Dao Qi?
"Your Majesty, there is indeed something extraordinary in Wanzi Mountain. Have you ever gone to investigate?"
Sun Wukong asked, suppressing the doubts in his heart.
"What did this elder say? Since the little girl was lost in Wanzi Mountain and it wasn't too far away, of course the lonely king sent someone to investigate."
"The peaks on the east cliff are undulating, the walls on the west cliff stand thousands of feet high, and the "Phoenix Head" on the north cliff. Lian Gu has been there twice in person. Alas, it's a pity that I found nothing. "
The Lord of Baoxiang thought that Sun Wukong would say something amazing. He didn't want to say it for a long time, but he still
Although we were still making circles in Wanzi Mountain, the excitement at first became much less intense.
"Master, there must be something extraordinary in Wanzi Mountain, but I can't tell whether it is a monster or a monster at the moment. Please just sit here for a while, and I will go back as soon as I can—"
Sun Wukong naturally saw King Baoxiang's disappointed look, but he did not step forward to argue, but turned back to Tang Monk and said.
"Senior Brother, in the past it was you and Junior Brother who took the spotlight in subduing demons. Now that I, Old Zhu, have improved my cultivation, how about we let Old Zhu and Junior Brother Sha take a trip this time?"
Zhu Bajie, who was always lazy, took two big bites, wiped his mouth with his sleeve and said.
"this……"
Sun Wukong wanted to refuse, but then he thought of the idiot's original identity and the person behind him, so Sun Wukong didn't say the words of rejection.
"Well, Bajie and Junior Brother Sha must be careful when they go there. He is on the east cliff of Wanzi Mountain. When you get there, you two just say that you are welcoming Princess Baihuashy back to the palace."
"If there is no Princess Baihuashy there, you two should come back by yourself. If you really find the princess's whereabouts, you can find her if you can. If you can't, just come back and ask me, grandson, to go with you."
Although Sun Wukong knew the nature of this idiot, he still couldn't help but give some instructions.
Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha didn't waste any time. They each arranged their weapons, jumped into the air and flew away.
"These...these are all divine monks——"
The Lord of Baoxiang and the guards beside him had never seen such a scene before. They were so excited that they wanted to kneel down and worship.
"My Lord, please don't do this. You and I can just wait here for good news..."
…
There must be strange things when the mountains are high, but there are also spirits when the mountains are steep.
There is really a nest of monsters in this Wanzi Mountain, but they have never harmed anyone, and the leader is a powerful person.
This man was born in the human-monster clan. He first cultivated Taoist supernatural powers and then Buddhist methods. Over the years, he actually developed a unique "relic inner elixir" that is unique in the world.
"Relics" are of course treasures that can only be formed in the body of those with advanced Buddhist teachings, while "Linglong inner elixir" is the product of the Three Pure Taoism.
Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha came up in the clouds. After a journey of three hundred miles, they arrived at Wanzi Mountain in just a cup of tea.
The two of them lowered their cloud heads and saw a golden light flashing in front of them, as if there were voices playing.
"Junior Brother Sha, you stay behind to help me, Old Zhu, while I go to attack the enemy."
In Zhu Bajie's view, this place is not a remote place. Even if there is a monster, will it still be his opponent in the Dzogchen realm of "Golden Immortal"?
"Hey - listen to the monsters in the cave. If anyone can breathe, give your grandpa pig one -"
Good guy, this shout immediately alerted the demons here.
Just on the side of the east cliff of Wanzi Mountain, there is a cave called "Boyue Cave". It looks like an ancient pagoda, is overgrown with weeds, and is very dark.
The demon here was playing with his wife and children when he heard Zhu Bajie's cry, and the demon frowned.
What do you think that monster looks like?
"Blue face, red beard, red hair, shining golden armor.
The belly is wrapped with a stone belt and the waist is lined with a stone belt. The chest is stretched up and the armor is tied with a cloud sash. "
"Madam, please stay here with the children for a while while I go out and get rid of these two nasty flies."
The demon waved his ocher-yellow robe and strode out of the cave.
But he didn't see his wife. He rolled his eyes, abandoned the two teenage children with some disgust, and followed the demon quietly.
"Who is so arrogant and dares to come to my cave to act wild——"
When Zhu Bajie was waiting impatiently, the demon was already rising in the air.
"Haha, there really is a monster, isn't it? Then listen carefully, monster. Did you abduct the shy princess of Baoxiang Kingdom?"
"If it's really you who did it, just hand over the princess obediently. If you, Grandpa Pig, are in a better mood, maybe he will spare you this nest of monsters. If not, I will go on a killing spree today, old pig -"
good
Well, this idiot is also involved. His name is "Bajie". In the past two years, besides abstaining from sex, what else has he abstained from?
"Hmph, you pig demon, you have such a loud voice. Come on, let me weigh you down."
The demon could also feel that Zhu Bajie was not a good person, but he hated him even more for being so speechless. The most important thing was, how did he know that Princess Baihuashy was here?
It turns out that the demon's wife in the "Boyue Cave" is none other than Princess Baihuaxi who disappeared thirteen years ago, and the two children are naturally the son and daughter of Baihuaxi and the demon. .
"The wind roars in front of the leisurely mountain, and the waves roll when you travel overseas.
A pair of blue indigo-scorched tendon hands are determined to pursue souls and take life-saving knives. "
Enraged by Zhu Bajie, the demon pulled out his own unique weapon, the "Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Knife". It was gloomy, cold, and radiating cold light, catching people's eyes.
Zhu Bajie always thinks he has seen it somewhere?
However, the opponent's weapons were all revealed, and Zhu Bajie didn't hesitate. He immediately jumped into the air, picked up the "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake", and hugged his head to build it.
"Hey——"
The "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake" was hitting the "Soul-Chasing Naming Knife". The demon didn't think anything of it, but the old pig couldn't bear it. He turned upside down in the air and managed to avoid falling from the clouds.
"What a monster, you have a lot of strength, come again-"
Saying "Come again," Zhu Bajie launched the "Thirty-six-Way Wind Rake" to fight the monster.
Zhu Bajie is now the "Golden Immortal" in the later stage of Dzogchen, and is just a hair away from returning to the Taiyi realm. When he really reaches out, he finds that he is no match for him at all.
After just over sixty rounds, Zhu Bajie couldn't stand it anymore. The key was that the power he had always been proud of was repeatedly defeated in front of his opponent.
"Second Senior Brother, don't panic, Lao Sha is here to help you——"
Monk Sha, who was watching the battle on the sidelines, saw that Zhu Bajie was no match for him, and he didn't care that he was only at the middle stage of "Golden Immortal". He shook the "True Treasure Staff of Subduing Demons" and joined the battle group.
The addition of Monk Sha was a surprise.
Originally, Zhu Bajie and the demon were fighting head-on, but when Monk Sha came, the fight was so loud that the little demons with low cultivation levels around him covered their ears and rolled on the ground.
"Hmph, you, a fierce monk, are quite powerful. Unfortunately, your level is too low. It's time to end it——"
The three of them fought for more than 40 rounds. The "Soul-Chasing Life-Taking Knife" used the move "Left and Right Blossom". The left knife struck Zhu Bajie's belly, while the right knife cut across Monk Sha's collarbone.
This move came so fast that they didn't even have a chance to react. Zhu Bajie dodged back desperately and fell directly from the cloud head.
But the backhand of this move was a knife to the right, which missed Monk Sha's collarbone and was slightly lower.
"Crack——"
The magic beads worn around Monk Sha's neck were cut off, and the left chest was stabbed so deep that the bones were visible.
Monk Sha, who was still a strong-willed master, felt as if his magic power was being drained away with this sword blow. He fell heavily onto the cloud and was tied up by a group of little demons.
"Junior Brother Sha, I will go back to find Brother Monkey to save you—"
Zhu Bajie saw that the situation was not good, so he dared to fight again. Tens of thousands of flames disappeared without a trace.
""Fire Escape"? Who is this pig demon? He can actually use Taiqing Sage's "Fire Escape"? "
Zhu Bajie escaped, Monk Sha was captured, but the demon was a little confused...
