After sending Wukong away, Fahai deliberately exposed several flaws, hoping to attract the demon to appear. After watching and waiting for a long time, the demon did not take action.
He thought secretly: "Perhaps the poor monk's magic power has been transmitted to this place, making the monster on guard, whatever, whatever... this plan may not work."
In the past, fishing like this was always successful, with almost no mistakes. Today, for the first time, I met a monster that was not fooled. It also made Fahai calm down a little and he should concentrate on dealing with the monster.
Compared to transforming sentient beings, the poor monk is still better at subduing and eliminating demons!
Amitabha.
The Great Merciful and Great Compassionate Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.
You are right, you are the one who has to save the suffering sentient beings in this world. Only by saving the demons and monsters that are causing harm to the world, is it a meritorious deed.
Even within Buddhism, there are also specializations in the arts.
I am an ordinary monk, but I worry about the Buddha's heart all the time, committing sins and sins.
After thinking about it like this, Fahai suddenly became enlightened, and the depression that had been accumulated in his heart suddenly dissipated a lot.
"Wukong!" Fahai sent a message to the Great Sage, saying: "Master, I am blocking the way of that demon, don't let him run away!"
The great sage cast an invisibility spell and hid aside. Seeing that the goblin did not take the bait, he heard the master's instructions and knew that the master was going to subdue the goblin directly. When he was about to block the goblin's path, he saw something in the air. The red clouds dissipated and fell into the forest——
Weird thing.
The Great Sage did not show up, and still maintained his invisibility to cover the place where the demonic cloud fell.
Before he could take two steps, he heard a cry for help coming from the forest, "Help——"
The voice was like a child's, but it contained a translucency...for fear that their master and disciples wouldn't be able to hear it.
oops!
After hearing this, the great sage smiled secretly in his heart: What a monster, he caught fish here, he is really brave.
Fahai outside the woods had just picked up his Zen staff when he heard the cry for help. He was also quite emotional. He saw monsters along the way. Although he met monsters everywhere, they also had different personalities. It was really interesting.
Maybe... when I'm bored while traveling, I can record the differences between demons and compile them into a book for future generations to consider when subduing demons.
As for the various experiences along the way, Wu Jing's Nine Hearts and Ones have actually recorded them for a long time. Some of them are the customs, specialties, human relations and culture of each place they passed; some are their experiences when they conquered demons; and some are their masters and disciples. Conversations between several people, mountains, rivers and hydrology, etc.——
They had more and more luggage along the way. In addition to Bajie purchasing a large amount of ingredients and seasonings at each place he passed, it also had a lot to do with the large number of manuscripts Wu Jing recorded and left behind while walking.
The two disciples beside him also heard the cry for help. Bajie came over and said, "Master, why did I hear someone calling for help?"
Sha Monk stopped the second senior brother for a moment, then pointed to the mountain and said: "Second senior brother, do you think this mountain is good?"
Bajie immediately became happy, "You're even thinking about me. This mountain is more sinister than Pingding Mountain, Wanzi Mountain, and Huangfengling. How can it be a good place? Are you trying to say that this is a good place?" How could anyone call for help in the middle of nowhere?"
Bajie has also seen a lot, and he has already been alert.
Sha Monk nodded and said: "This is exactly the reason. This cry for help is probably the trick of the monster, trying to trick us... Master, we must be on guard."
"Yes." Fahai nodded in agreement and said: "Whether he is a human or a demon, let me take a look at it as a teacher. If he is a human, I will save him. If he is a demon... I will have saved him early. You two Be careful and don't scare him away."
At this time, the little white dragon was still searching for a cave in the mountains——
It's not that easy to find this demon's cave in Haoshan, which is six hundred miles away.
The main reason is that he is a god in the water, and now he is a sinner, so he cannot summon the earth and mountain gods. Otherwise, he would chant a spell to summon the earth and mountain gods so that he can ask questions clearly.
But it is also interesting to say that although these earth and mountain gods have names, each of them has low magic power and is not as good as a little demon. If there is a powerful demon in the mountain, he may not dare to show his face. Just like the mountain god of Pingding Mountain, doesn't he also obey the laws of the golden horn and the silver horn?
The earth and mountain gods are like this. In fact, the weaker water gods are no better. The water palace is often occupied by demons. Some demons with a background can even transform themselves into the dragon palace or the heaven to replace them.
He turned into a white snake and was walking through the mountains. Suddenly he heard a child calling for help, which seemed to be the direction he came from. He thought to himself: "Oh, could it be that I went too far?"
The smell of saltpeter and fire in this mountain was so strong that his sensitive sense of smell, which had done so much in hunting monsters in the past, was somewhat ineffective. The next time he saw Xiaotian Dog, he needed to ask him for advice on tracking techniques.
The little white dragon turned around and walked in the direction of calling for help. If it was a human, he would save him. If it was a demon... he would cut off his way for the master. The master was obviously not in a happy mood these days. If he continues Holding it in... Firstly, it is not beneficial to the body's cultivation, and secondly, it is also because it is afraid that the disciples like them will not be able to bear it anymore.
It happened that there was a demon in this mountain, so the master wanted to vent it.
There is also a tacit understanding. In the past, Xiao Bailong and the Great Sage were aiming to seize the power to eliminate demons from the master, but now they are in perfect agreement.
After all, the little white dragon was far away, so it was Fahai, Bajie, and Wujing who heard the sound first and found the monster.
The three masters and apprentices took a closer look. It turned out to be a child of seven or eight years old. He was completely naked except for a red bellyband. He tied his hands and feet with hemp rope and hung him high on the top of the pine tree. He kept calling for help: " Help—help—"
It was also he who saw Fahai and the others walking in front of him, and said in a tearful voice: "Master, help me, master, help me -"
"Oh, why is he a half-year-old child?" Bajie saw how pitiful he looked. Although he knew he was a monster, he still felt a little softer.
Fahai used his Dharma Eyes to look, and saw that the little child in front of him turned out to be a calf that was always on fire. He was quite surprised. After thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any monster in the Three Realms with such an appearance.
Regardless of his origins, this demon has a lot of evil karma and must be a man of many evil deeds in ordinary times. Now he is using this method to make demons here. It is not just for himself, but he may have also deceived many mortals.
"Master, please save me quickly...save me quickly."
The red boy saw that Tang Sanzang, who was walking in front, was just looking at him, and didn't seem to have any intention of showing mercy to him as a monk to save him from danger. He had doubts in his heart, and he saw that Tang Sanzang was guarding two ferocious monsters. The monk thought to himself: Could it be that he is really a man who talks without keeping his word?
Thinking about this, he bowed his head more and more, with tears in his eyes, he just said that he was miserable, "Master, please be merciful, please save me. My family lives in the withered pine stream behind the mountain. I have some possessions, but it's evil." A group of robbers, they killed my father, abducted my mother, and robbed the family property... Because my mother begged so hard, they spared my sword and hung me on this tree, only to die of cold and hunger. ..."
The goblin became more and more enthusiastic as he talked. He ignored the logic and opened his mouth: "I have been hanging here for three days and three nights, and no one has come to walk. I don't know what I have accumulated in this life. I will meet my teacher in this life. If I am willing to give up, Great mercy, save my life and return home... I will set up a ranking for Master's longevity and pray for blessings every day."
The great sage who was hiding aside was very happy after hearing this, and said in his heart: "If my master were an ordinary monk, I would have been deceived by you long ago. You are full of nonsense, how can you deceive my master?"
Bajie, who was originally feeling a little compassionate, suddenly stopped talking when he heard the goblin's words. He didn't care about the rest for the time being... He just said that he was just a little doll, and he would have died long ago after hanging on a tree for three days and three nights. , where is the energy to cry for help like this?
Look at his wrists and ankles, there aren't even any marks on his wrists... Even if he's a demon trying to deceive, he still has to look real. It's full of flaws, and it's too perfunctory. It's far worse than the Bone Lady back then. ..Really look down on people.
Bajie cursed in his heart: To be honest, this demon has indeed accumulated a lot of cultivation. If he can tie himself up and send him to the master for salvation, it can be regarded as a mistake and he has learned from the wrong way, which is a meritorious deed for you.
