After the sutra-collecting team successfully solved the trouble in the Kou Mansion, they continued westward. Suddenly, they saw the Buddha's light shining in front of them and the sound of the Buddha's trumpet spreading far away.
"Master, is there Lingshan Mountain in front of Master? We have finally arrived at Lingshan Mountain!"
Zhu Ba Ring pointed forward and said excitedly.
"How do I know if that's the case? I'll just go and take a look and I'll know why I'm still so irritable after working with my master for so long. I shouldn't be."
Xuanzang was actually very happy in his heart, but in order to maintain his appearance in front of several disciples, he acted extra calm.
"Yes, ahead is Lingshan Mountain, where the Taoist temple of Western Buddhism is located."
Sun Wukong nodded and said.
"Then what are you waiting for? Let's just say, do it! Go to Lingshan and become a Buddha!"
Zhu Bajie felt his blood boiling all over, as if he had endless strength.
The master and the disciples encountered countless disasters along the way to learn the scriptures, just to be able to reach the Lingshan Mountain and obtain the true scriptures.
Now that there is only one step left to complete the task, it is really difficult to suppress the excitement to vent the grievances suffered along the way.
"Let's go, I want to see what other tricks this Western Buddhism can come up with to overthrow Buddhism!"
Xuanzang took the lead and stepped forward with a graceful and elegant attitude.
"Destroy Buddhism!"
The Buddhist scripture collection team had already determined the direction and headed straight towards Lingshan Mountain, just to arrive as soon as possible.
"Lingyundu..."
However, the team soon ran into trouble. An endless river appeared in front of them, blocking their way forward.
"Master, how are we going to get through this? It looks quite scary."
The ambitious Zhu Bajie was immediately poured cold water on him and calmed down on the spot.
"It's just a river. I only need one step to cross it. Is it difficult?"
Xuanzang was just about to use his body skills to cross Lingyundu, but was directly stopped by Sun Wukong beside him.
"Master, there is a forbidden air technique on this river that cannot be flown over. Moreover, there is something strange in the river. I'm afraid it won't be so easy to get through."
Sun Wukong released his Golden Eyes to see that there were countless forbidden formations on Lingyun Ferry. If he forced a breakthrough, he would be severely bombarded, which was extremely dangerous.
"Then how can we get there? I can't fly, and I can't swim. Is it possible that I can only watch here?"
Xuanzang frowned and said, feeling quite shocked.
If you want to go to the Western Spirit Mountain, you must cross the river in front of you, but not only can you not leap over this river, but you cannot be contaminated by the river water!
"Master, there is a single-plank bridge here. It seems you can walk across it."
Sha Wujing pointed to a tree trunk in front of him and said. This tree trunk stretched across the entire Lingyun Ferry with no end in sight.
"Why is this a bridge? This is completely a guillotine! How to get there? Just step on it and your feet will slip and you will fall!"
Xuanzang glanced at it and couldn't see clearly what was going on ahead. He didn't even know whether this so-called single-plank bridge was safe. He was afraid that it would fall into an abyss!
"Master, are you afraid of heights, so you don't dare to cross this bridge?"
Seeing Xuanzang's huge reaction, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but question.
"You're kidding, how can I be afraid of heights? I'm just... just worried about your safety!"
Xuanzang looked at it again and felt that the world was spinning. He quickly looked away, not daring to look at it again.
"Then this is going to be difficult. It's hard to find a single-plank bridge to cross the river, but Master is still unwilling to walk."
Sha Wujing didn't know what to do, and now there was no way out.
"Look again, look again, will those bald donkeys from Western Buddhism be so kind as to prepare a bridge for us? Of course not!"
Xuanzang continued shamelessly, making it clear that he was unwilling to cross the Lingyun Ferry through the single-plank bridge.
So after receiving Xuanzang's instructions, Sun Wukong and the four others began to look for other ways to cross the river that could help them reach Lingshan as soon as possible.
It's just that on this wide Lingyun Crossing, all magical powers and spells are isolated, making it impossible to use spells to seek breakthroughs.
"Hey - do you guys want to cross the river? Come and cross the river by boat!"
Just when the Buddhist scripture collecting team was in a dilemma, a boatman suddenly appeared on the rough river, rocking the boat towards the Buddhist scripture collecting team, and kept calling out.
"Master, look, there is a boatman, we can cross the river by boat!"
Zhu Ba ring said to the boatman.
Xuanzang followed the sound and saw a boatman who looked like an old man holding a shabby boat, as if it might capsize at any time!
Xuanzang's face became a little ugly again, he might as well not sit down, maybe it would be safer.
"Master, if you don't sit down, you will have to walk on the single-plank bridge. Master, how do you choose to cross?"
Zhu Bajie spread his hands helplessly and said.
Now is not the time to enjoy it, so it would be nice to be able to take a boat ride.
"Sit, sit, sit, I don't believe you can drown in this river!"
Feeling that four eyes were focused on him, Xuanzang had no choice but to grit his teeth and make up his mind before speaking.
"Come up quickly, I can send you to the other side."
The boatman looked at it and said with a smile, welcoming the scripture collection team on board.
"You can't sit on it, you can't sit on it, you can't sit on this boat!"
Before Xuanzang stepped on the boat, Lin Pan's voice came from far away, causing Xuanzang's body to tremble.
"It's my brother here!"
"Huh-huh-"
Lin Pan panted and rushed to the Buddhist team. He stared at the old man behind the team and felt relieved. Fortunately, the team arrived before that.
Otherwise, when all the scripture-seeking team gets on the old man’s boat, something big may happen!
Because Lin Pan still remembered the warnings of the immortals on Meishan Mountain, the man who punted the boat on Lingyun Ferry was a Taoist guide for the leader of Western Buddhism, a veritable saint of heaven!
"Does this little friend also want to cross the river?"
asked the old man punting the boat.
"nature!"
Lin Pan replied happily.
"Then little friend, you can follow these people on the boat and you will be able to go to the other side soon."
The old man continued.
"That's no need. Just go about your business and see if anyone else needs to pick it up."
Lin Pan waved his hand, making a driving gesture and said.
"Why are you like this, little friend? There is no other boatman on Lingyun Ferry. If you want to cross the river, you can only take my boat."
The old man explained patiently, and then continued to invite the Buddhist scripture collection team on board.
"You said you won't sit down, why do you still want to forcefully solicit customers?"
Lin Pan blocked the scripture collection team behind him and carefully stared at the actions in front of him.
"Why don't you sit down, little friend?"
At this moment, the old man's face had stiffened, and his tone was a little more unhappy.
"What's the use of your broken boat? Of course you have to take a big boat to cross the river!"
Lin Pan waved his little hand, and a green light shot out. The bamboo raft brought from Meishan was floating steadily on the Lingyun Crossing River!
