Since that day, Yang Jian and the Meishan brothers had an honest conversation, and they set out to help the Meishan brothers fulfill their wishes.
Zhang Laoer and Yao Laosan travel around together. One wants to see all the scenery in the Three Realms, and the other wants to eat all the delicious food in the Three Realms.
Li Laosi, Guo Laowu, and Zhi Laoliu returned to heaven as officials under Yang Jian's arrangement. Although they were not under the command of the Judicial Temple, their immortal ranks were raised two levels due to their merit. They can be said to be rising stars and newcomers in heaven. A powerful figure in Jin Dynasty.
Only Mr. Kang did not want to leave and stayed at Guanjiangkou.
Li Anran and San Shengsheng came to Erlang Zhenjun's mansion and asked from Boss Kang about the last time he saw Yang Jian.
Mr. Kang said: "The last time I saw the second master was sixteen days ago. That day, the second master accidentally discovered a purple-gold grapevine. It was very pleasing to the eye and wanted to move it to Huashan Mountain. He also asked me if I wanted to go with him. .”
"I refused because Guanjiangkou still had some unfinished matters. Since then, I have never seen him or Roaring Sky Dog again."
The Third Holy Mother added next to her: "That's true. I should have met the second brother later than Mr. Kang. After the second brother planted the purple and gold grapes in Huashan Villa, he stayed there for two more days before meeting my mother and me. Say goodbye and leave with Roaring Sky Dog."
Li Anran asked: "Third sister, was there anything unusual when the second brother left Huashan?"
As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Li Anran realized that he had asked nonsense. With Yang Jian's government and the importance he attached to his family, no matter how big the matter was, he would hide it.
Sure enough, the Third Holy Mother shook her head and said, "No."
Li Anran continued to ask: "Where is the roaring dog?"
The Third Holy Mother recalled it, her eyes lit up, and her head nodded like a chicken pecking rice: "Yes! The Roaring Dog seemed to be very happy that day, and kept running towards the second brother, and kept rubbing his head against the second brother. legs."
Boss Kang's expression suddenly relaxed and he laughed: "The Roaring Sky Dog is usually very afraid of the Second Master. He only dares to make trouble around the Second Master when he is doing meritorious deeds. The Second Master must have discovered something and went to investigate. Well, these geniuses didn’t show up.”
The Third Holy Mother was a little excited: "Really?"
Mr. Kang laughed and said: "Third sister, when have I ever lied to you? In order to deal with the Peng Demon King, the second master took us to hide in Xiniu Hezhou for almost half a year. It should be the same thing this time! If you don't believe it, you can ask Brother Li Anran!"
The Third Holy Mother turned to look at Li Anran, her face full of expectation.
Li Anran nodded: "That's probably what happened. Third sister, can you rest assured now? It won't be long before the second brother comes back by himself."
The Third Holy Mother was completely relieved and happy in her heart. The smile on her face couldn't be suppressed and she said several times: "That's great!"
Then he suppressed his smile again, gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Second brother, he disappeared without saying a word and made everyone worried. It's really abominable! When he comes back, I will make my mother scold him severely. ! Let’s see if he dares to do this again!”
"Brother Li, thank you for accompanying me on this trip!"
The Third Holy Mother saluted Li Anran and thanked her, and said, "My mother is still waiting for news from me in Huashan. I will go and tell her about this first!"
Li Anran said "hmm" and said goodbye: "I still have some things to do in the prison. Third sister, brother Kang, I will go back first."
After saying that, Li Anran turned into a golden light and headed towards Nantianmen.
When he left the sight of San Shengsheng and Boss Kang, all the smiles on his face had disappeared, and his eyes were full of worry and solemnity.
Boss Kang and Sansheng Sheng didn't know what Yang Jian was busy with during this time, but they knew that Yang Jian had been secretly investigating the Tongtian River, trying to find evidence that Guanyin secretly instructed King Inspiration to use boys and girls and incense to make elixirs.
Use this sinful and unavoidable felony to send Guanyin to the heavenly prison to restore the majesty of the Temple of Justice and the rules of heaven.
If there is no progress in this matter, there will be no danger. If there is progress, there will be many dangers.
Li Anran hesitated for a moment, then changed direction and flew towards Tongtian River.
Whether it was from the perspective of interests or from the perspective of his friendship with Yang Jian, he couldn't ignore this matter!
When Li Anran arrived near the Tongtian River, he did not approach directly. Instead, he asked the Earth Mountain God to inquire about the situation.
Soon, Li Anran learned from the mountain god Tutu.
Half a month ago, that was the days when Yang Jian disappeared.
Tang Monk and his disciples took the scriptures obtained from Lingshan and fell from the sky to the west bank of the Tongtian River, and were later thrown into the water by the old turtle.
After finally reaching the east coast, they encountered evil spirits who snatched the scriptures again. They fought for a day and a night before finally resting.
These mountain gods and lands are all unworthy Yin gods. They dare not approach them at all. They hide in their respective caves and tremble. They only heard the outline of what happened.
It was not until afterwards that they learned from the people of Chenjiazhuang that Tang Seng and his disciples stayed in Chenjiazhuang for one night, and then they were picked up by the gods and disappeared.
"really."
Li Anran was not surprised at all and had a rough understanding of the whole incident.
He told Yang Jian about the Tongtian River. Yang Jian had already known about the problem with the old turtle in the Tongtian River.
However, because the evidence that Guanyin ordered the King of Inspiration to use boys and girls and incense to make elixirs, all the aquatic creatures in the upper and lower reaches of the Tongtian River have been wiped out by Guanyin.
If Yang Jian wants to find evidence, he can only start with the person behind Lao Yuan who led Tang Monk and his disciples to Tongtian River.
He was afraid of alerting others, so he never acted rashly. He only let Roaring Sky Dog remember the smell of the old turtle, and always pay attention to the movements on the Tongtian River.
Half a month ago, when Tang Monk and his disciples were passing through the Tongtian River with the scriptures, Lao Yu finally saw it and threw Tang Monk and his disciples into the river on the pretext that Tang Monk did not help him ask the Tathagata how long it would take to achieve enlightenment. He also colluded with a group of demons and ghosts to snatch the scriptures.
Roaring Sky Dog smelled something wrong in the Tongtian River, told Yang Jian about it, and felt that he had made a great contribution, wagging his tail next to Yang Jian and begging for mercy.
Yang Jian did not miss this opportunity and immediately left Huashan and came to Tongtian River with Roaring Sky Dog.
If nothing else, he should have followed Lao Yu or those monsters to investigate the mastermind.
Li Anran immediately lowered his cloud head and entered the Tongtian River. Sure enough, he saw that there were only a few shrimp soldiers and crab generals left in the water turtle's place, and the old turtle had disappeared.
Li Anran turned into a golden light and flew into the old turtle's back palace. He found a piece of clothing that was stained with the smell of the old turtle and placed it in front of him.
"One, two, three, four, five, metal, wood, water, fire, earth, change!" Li Anran took out the treasure bag and chanted a spell.
Buzz!
Rays of light flashed, and a palm-sized puppy carved from wood flew out and sniffed at the clothes.
Then, it shook its head, sniffing the scent between heaven and earth with its nose, and chanted loudly: "The world is endless, follow it for thousands of miles!"
The roaring dog's tracking technique is so powerful that Li Anran is naturally very greedy. He asked the roaring dog to cooperate with him early on and used the treasure bag to refine several tracking dogs that can use the tracking technique. dog.
These tracking dogs are all one-time magic weapons, and their tracking skills are much inferior to those of Roaring Sky Dogs.
It is difficult to use them to find people and things in the Three Realms out of thin air, but if you just follow the smell, it is more than enough.
As for why Li Anran didn't just use the tracking dog to track Yang Jian, it was naturally because it was useless!
Yang Jian has always been cautious in doing things. He has a magical beast like the Roaring Sky Dog that tracks people through its sense of smell, and others may also have it!
Therefore, Yang Jian is using magic to cover his aura all the time.
Not to mention this tracking magic weapon, even the roaring dog could not find Yang Jian's whereabouts at all.
It had been less than half a month since the old turtle left Tongtian River. The tracking dogs soon smelled the remaining scent of the old turtle, turned into a golden light, and flew to the west.
Li Anran was worried that the noise would be too loud and would alert the old turtle, so he made a magic trick to cover up his and the tracking dog's aura and figure.
One person and one dog flew all the way through Xiniuhezhou and towards the West Sea.
Gradually, a trace of doubt flashed in Li Anran's eyes, but he realized that this route looked familiar.
He thought for a moment, then suddenly remembered and was shocked: "This is the way to the abyss of darkness! It is Wutian who plots against Guanyin!"
Li Anran himself has never been to the Abyss of Darkness, but he has seen it in Zhu Bajie's life.
This dark abyss is a gap in the three realms. It is surrounded by weak water on the outside and difficult for golden immortals to cross. It is chaotic inside and filled with resentment.
Only those evil spirits who are not tolerated by heaven and earth and are desperate will venture into it.
In order to improve Heipao's heeling qualifications, Heipao's parents and two python spirits gathered a large number of demons and ghosts to rebel, besieged the West Sea Dragon Palace, and used evil methods to sacrifice countless water gods and mountain gods.
When the Jade Emperor found out, he was furious and sent the Tianhe navy to encircle and suppress the python. The male python was successfully killed, but the female python desperately escaped into the abyss of darkness.
The Tianhe navy was afraid of the poison of the weak water, and no one dared to step into it.
Only Zhu Bajie broke into the abyss of darkness and dragged out the body of the female python for the sake of Marshal Tianpeng promised by the Jade Emperor.
Li Anran also knew the location of the Black Abyss.
However, he has never thought about this abyss of darkness, and he has not even thought about approaching it!
Others don't know, but he knows that this dark abyss is no longer a place of chaos, but is ruled by Mo Luo Wutian, who has been exiled to the dark abyss by the Tathagata!
This Wutian will rule the three realms for thirty-three years in the future!
Even though there are a lot of strange things in this, but he can do this, he is already one of the top powers in the three realms!
Not to mention, he still has the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus in his hand!
"No wonder he just led Tang Monk and his disciples to Tongtian River to give Guanyin a warning, instead of directly making what Guanyin did to the public!"
"No wonder Guanyin turned a blind eye to the old turtle and allowed it to form a causal relationship with Tang Monk after he killed all the living creatures in Tongtian River in a rage!"
"I see!"
Li Anran's previous doubts were instantly answered.
Wu Tian is the Buddhist Mara and the former Gimna Bodhisattva. Although he is at odds with the Tathagata and even most Bodhisattvas and Buddhas, he is still essentially a disciple of Buddhism.
His fundamental purpose in vying for the Tathagata's position as the Buddha's World Honored One is to reform the Buddhist world, not to destroy Buddhism.
Naturally, he would not expose what Guanyin had done and disgrace Buddhism. He just led the four monks from Tang Dynasty to the Tongtian River to give Guanyin a warning and gain a handle on Guanyin.
This is why Guanyin, after wiping out all the aquatic creatures in Tongtian River, had a problem with the old turtle that suddenly appeared in Tongtian River and allowed it to form a causal relationship with Tang Monk.
Wutian's purpose was precisely the thirty-five volumes of 5,048 Mahayana Buddhist scriptures that Monk Tang took from the West.
Only when you know yourself and the enemy can you win every battle!
Wutian wants to seize Tathagata's position as World Honored One, so he naturally needs to know everything about Tathagata's opponent.
If he guessed correctly, Wutian had already memorized all these scriptures the moment the scriptures fell into the water!
The subsequent demons' seizure of the scriptures was just a formality to bring this ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties to a successful end!
——Wutian considers himself a disciple of Buddhism from beginning to end. The pursuit of Buddhist scriptures in the west is related to the spread of Buddhism to the east and the prosperity of Buddhism. He will not really take away the scriptures under any circumstances.
Li Anran was thinking about it when he suddenly lost contact with the tracking dog.
Looking up, I saw wisps of white mist steaming from the water in the distance. Under the sunlight, it strangely reflected the colorful brilliance. The void was constantly twisting and changing, the light and shadow intertwined, giving people a sense of chaos and danger. .
The moment the tracking dog entered the white mist, it lost its spiritual luster and fell from mid-air to the sea. In the blink of an eye, it turned into a wisp of blue smoke and disappeared.
"Second brother has already gone in?" Li Anran's heart sank and he stopped.
From Zhu Bajie's life, he already knew how powerful weak water is. A goose's feather is not floating, and a flying bird is difficult to cross. It can restrain most magic weapons and spells in the world. Even ordinary golden immortals cannot escape the end of their souls when they enter.
If you want to pass, there is only one way——
Can resist with physical force!
With Yang Jian's physical strength, it wouldn't be a problem to enter, but after entering, encountering Wu Tian would be a big problem!
Without any hesitation, Li Anran turned around and flew towards the Golden Light Cave in Qianyuan Mountain.
He didn't know that there were not only Yang Jian but also monkeys in this abyss of darkness!
Just three days ago, Monkey followed the World-Destroying Black Lotus all the way here.
Although Weak Shui is powerful, it is completely worthless in front of the World-Destroying Black Lotus.
Even though Monkey's World-Destroying Black Lotus is not a real twelfth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus, but a sixth-grade World-Destroying Black Lotus grown from the seeds of the World-Destroying Black Lotus, it protected him smoothly through the weak water and entered the world. In the abyss of darkness.
What greeted him was the great protector in black robe under the Wutian throne whom he had seen in Huaguo Mountain that day.
"Sun Wukong, you are indeed here! Buddha Wutian asked me to wait here for a long time!"
"Stop talking nonsense! Didn't your Buddha say that he could help me take off the tight bandage? Take me to see him!"
The monkey snorted coldly. He knew that there was no free lunch in this world, and he was ready to pay the price.
However, when he entered the depths of the Dark Abyss and entered the cave built by Wutian, he was shocked.
"Yang Jian?! Why are you here?!"
