"Master, who is that old woman carrying the basket?"
Bajie asked curiously. The master obviously changed his mind and left after seeing the old lady.
"The incarnation of Bodhisattva."
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva travels in the three realms with three thousand incarnations, and is famous for the thirty-three incarnations. Although this incarnation is not among the thirty-three incarnations, it cannot be hidden from Fa Hai's eyes.
His Dharma eyes can not only identify evil spirits, but also immortals and Buddhas.
Come to think of it, with Bodhisattva's compassion, how could he turn a blind eye to this place?
Since the Bodhisattva is here, there is no need for Fa Hai to worry about this matter. In the words of the Bodhisattva, it is up to her to do this kind of thing of saving all sentient beings; she can just focus on conquering demons for the time being. .
It is said that there are specializations in the art industry, and Fa Hai also agrees with this.
Although he does not resist the way of transformation, it is obviously more suitable for him to conquer demons and eliminate demons.
Amitabha.
On the other side, the Great Sage has already decided the winner with Sai Taisui.
"The great sage's reputation is truly well-deserved."
Sai Taisui was more or less surprised. He knew that Sun Wukong was powerful, otherwise he would not have had the ability to cause trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Even though the Heavenly Palace did not take full action, this was not a reason to look down on the Great Sage. In particular, Sai Taisui knew that the Bodhisattva was very fond of the Great Sage.
He didn't know whose disciple this Sun Wukong was, but his seventy-two transformations obviously came from the same source as Yang Jian's Eighty-nine Mysterious Techniques, and Yang Jian was one of the few who could compete with the second-generation disciples during the Great Tribulation of the Gods. Even the third generation disciple who defeated the second generation disciple.
When he parried the Great Sage's golden cudgel, Sai Taisui knew what level of cultivation the Great Sage Qitian had reached. At this moment, the Great Sage Sun was much more tyrannical than Yang Erlang back then.
Of course, after more than a thousand years, Yang Jian will not stand still. Yang Jian's momentum in the Three Realms is not small now.
Because of this, Sai Taisui fell into silence after his defeat. He had been lying in the purple bamboo forest for more than a thousand years. Although it cannot be said that he has made no progress, in comparison, there is really nothing commendable. Perhaps it is because of his failure. It's reached a bottleneck.
It would be fine if he just lost in martial arts, but when this monkey faced him with his Taoist and magical powers, he could not lose at all. This was what really surprised Sai Taisui.
Although he didn't put up the Four Elephant Formation, didn't he also use the "Great Sage Thunder Sound"?
The appearance of Ling Xuzi is still fresh in Sai Taisui's memory. He asked the Bodhisattva the reason, and the Bodhisattva did not hide it, but asked himself not to tell anyone about it.
If he loses, he loses, and he is not someone who cannot afford to lose.
When the Bodhisattva broke his four-image formation, he was resigned to defeating him. Perhaps it was because of this that the relationship between him and the Bodhisattva was not as tense as the two Bodhisattvas Manjusri and Samantabhadra and the two senior brothers Qiu Shou and Lingya.
well.
I heard that the two senior brothers, Qiu Shou and Ling Ya, are now the kings of the mountain in Shituo Ridge. If they meet this Master Tripitaka, I am afraid that there will be a fierce battle between the two sides, and they will either die or be injured.
The Great Sage took advantage and did not stay in Qilin Mountain any longer. After chatting with Sai Taisui for a few words, seeing that it was getting late, he said goodbye and returned to Qilin Town.
But he didn't see the master and others. He glanced around and saw the little pig demon accompanying an old woman to collect medicine on the mountainside, so he jumped over and said, "Junior Brother Meng, where is the master?"
"Elder brother." The little pig demon paid his respects again and again, "Master asked me to see you and told him that he would go back first."
"Going back first?" The Great Sage also looked a little surprised, and then took a few more glances at the old woman next to the little pig demon, and then turned his fiery eyes and golden eyes to look, and saw a dazzling golden light.
"oops!"
The Great Sage exclaimed, "Disciple Wukong, pay homage to the Bodhisattva!"
But I saw my mother-in-law, who looked like an ordinary old woman, suddenly changed her temperament, "Wukong, why are you disturbing my incarnation?"
Although the words were a bit harsh, they did not mean to blame him, but instead seemed a bit helpless and pampering.
"Disciple passed by by chance, no intention to disturb, no intention to disturb." The great sage clasped his hands into monkey fists and repeatedly begged for mercy.
The Bodhisattva has thousands of incarnations, but it is impossible to pay attention everywhere. Even a Bodhisattva with such great power cannot withstand such mental exertion. And the reason why the thirty-three incarnations are famous in the world is because the Bodhisattva's mind always remains. On the body.
Naturally, the Bodhisattva was not paying attention to the incarnation of the Bodhisattva here at this moment. He was still disturbed by the great sage's fiery eyes and golden eyes, so he lowered his spiritual thoughts.
"But that Jin Guangxian is causing trouble here?"
"No, no." The Great Sage waved his hand: "It was just a small misunderstanding, and it has been resolved now."
With a thought in his mind, the Bodhisattva clearly understood what this incarnation had seen here. He smiled and cursed at the Great Sage: "You monkey, why don't you quickly go to serve your master in the West to obtain scriptures?"
"Yes, disciple takes leave."
The great sage somersaulted away, leaving the little pig demon in place with his mouth wide open: "Bodhisattva. Bodhisattva?!"
"This incarnation of the poor monk still lacks a child to collect medicine. Are you willing?" The Bodhisattva looked at the little pig demon.
The little pig demon thought for a while and then refused with difficulty: "This disciple still wants to travel the three realms."
"Amitabha." The Bodhisattva smiled and said, "Don't be nervous. You are so determined. No wonder you were chosen by Tripitaka and accepted as a disciple."
The Bodhisattva stretched out his hand and saw three hairs falling on the back of the pig demon's head: "These three hairs can save you from danger, so make good use of them."
After saying this, golden light flashed, and the Bodhisattva's mind and consciousness escaped.
The little pig demon rubbed the back of his head, obviously he hadn't recovered yet.
The Great Sage returned to Zhuzi Kingdom and saw his master in the East Pavilion. He quickly stepped forward and said, "Master, this disciple is back."
"Can you see the Bodhisattva?"
"Yes." The great sage scratched his head, "Because I couldn't see clearly, I looked at it with fire eyes. I never thought of disturbing the Bodhisattva. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva didn't blame me and let me come back."
"Who doesn't know that the Bodhisattva treats you very well?" Bajie said with a smile, "I think if Brother Monkey had to serve me all the way to the west, the Bodhisattva would release you from the Five Elements Mountain and take you to the Purple Bamboo Forest to free range. "
The Great Sage went up and kicked him. Bajie turned around and tried to dodge, but in the end, it left a mark on his clothes. Then he hid beside the Master and raised his eyebrows in provocation at the Great Sage.
The Great Sage did not share his understanding, and only said to the Master: "I was talking about telling the Bodhisattva about this before, but I didn't expect that the Bodhisattva already knew about it."
"This is actually not surprising." Fahai said to the Great Sage: "The king of this Zhuzi Kingdom enshrines the golden body of Bodhisattva. If other countries suffer evil things, they will inevitably go to the Bodhisattva Hall to pray. This matter concerns the golden hair jade. The Zhuzi Kingdom is on the only way for our master and disciples to go west, how can a Bodhisattva not take it seriously?"
"Since the Bodhisattva already knew this, why didn't he just rescue the Queen of the Golden Holy Palace?" the Great Sage asked.
"Why didn't you ask Bodhisattva just now?"
The Great Sage: "I was panicked for a moment, but I forgot to ask."
Everyone:.
I never imagined that you, Sun Dasheng, would still panic.
Regarding the affairs of the Zhu Zi Kingdom, the master and disciples only touched upon it. If it went deeper, it would obviously not be appropriate.
What can be done has been done. As for what kind of disputes there are between the Empress of Jin Sheng Palace and His Majesty, that is a matter between the young couple.
However, Fahai still hopes that the two of them can do something. Perhaps another era of great strife is coming. Along the way, in addition to the poor ability of the leader of the Jisai Kingdom, it is also the leader of the Xiliang Female Kingdom. The Lord is also quite skillful.
The kings of several countries are not only wise rulers, but also want to be pioneering kings. That is to say, the terrain of Xizhou is dangerous and mostly hindered by mountains, rivers and rivers, otherwise wars would have started long ago.
In fact, the Tang Dynasty never marched westward. In addition to dealing with the northern grassland rangers, the mountains were high and the roads were far away, making it difficult for soldiers to move.
Even if the troops march through, it will be difficult for the government to pass the decree. It is better to consolidate the people's livelihood.
The five masters and disciples rested for the night and said goodbye to the Lord of the Noble Kingdom the next day.
After another period of trying to keep him in vain, the king and his wife went out of the city to see each other off in person and traveled more than ten miles. Then they returned to the country and discussed with their queen the preparations for going to Qilin Town.
After a careful discussion, the two of them also knew that this would be an incredible opportunity. If it were really possible to take the demon clan under their control, the national power of the Zhuzi Kingdom would undoubtedly rise to a higher level.
Apart from anything else, at least when demons invade, they have the means to protect and counterattack.
Let's say that the master and the disciples said goodbye to King Zhuzi's city, and continued to travel during the day and practice at night, heading west.
We have traveled through countless mountains and plains, and experienced endless waterways. Autumn has passed away and winter has faded away before we know it, and the beauty of spring has returned.
“Before you know it, another year has passed.”
"Elder brother." Xiao Bailong, who had just returned from exploring the mountains, said with a smile: "Why are you feeling sad about the autumn and sad about the spring?"
The Great Sage was looking far away from the treetops at the moment. When he heard the little white dragon speaking, he also smiled, "I was pressed in front of the Five Elements Mountain, just having fun, feeling that time was flying by but not caring; then I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, I have been suffering year after year but there is no end. I just feel the suffering. Now I am following Master westward. I don’t realize how fast time passes when I walk on the road. But in the blink of an eye, I suddenly realize that eleven years have passed.”
When everyone heard this, they were all filled with emotion.
They didn't realize it in the past, but now that they heard what their senior brother said, it was really true. The things that master and apprentice have experienced in the past eleven years are so vivid in their minds as if they were yesterday. But after careful calculation, it has already passed the eleventh year. Years long.
The Great Sage smiled and said: "My old grandson went from Chang'an to Lingshan. It only took me a somersault to reach this point. I can run several times in one day. But I didn't expect that I could follow my master and walk here step by step." Strange to say, I, Old Sun, actually have such patience."
The Great Sage has an impatient temper and has always liked to act impulsively. Now that he has such a realization, it can be seen that the hardships along the way have also had a profound impact on the Great Sage.
When the great sage was just released from the mountains, he never thought that he would be able to follow the master for so long. At that time, he even thought that if the "great monk" was difficult to serve, he would simply give up.
call out--
The Great Sage jumped down from the treetop, landed in front of Little White Dragon, and said: "You came back so early today, but there are evil spirits entrenched in the mountains ahead?"
"Yes." Xiao Bailong nodded and said, "My little brother has found out. The mountain ahead is called Pansi Ridge. There is a Pansi Cave in the mountain ridge. There are seven spider spirits in the Pansi Cave."
"Only seven spider spirits?"
"No." Xiao Bailong shook his head: "In addition to these seven monsters, there are seven other types of little demons in the cave. It's just that my eyesight is blind and I can't see their true colors. I can only smell the smell of poisonous beeswax dragonflies. It is a man-eating monster, with human bones in the back mountain, and in the cave there are refined human oil, gluten made from human flesh, and tofu cubes made from fried brains."
"What a monster!" the great sage shouted angrily, and then looked at the master, "Master, let's not rest any longer. Let's go and succumb to the monster!"
"Amitabha." Fahai also stood up from the rock and said, "I looked at the little white dragons. Can you find out their location?"
"The seven fairies are divided into two places." Xiao Bailong said to the master: "The disciples saw that they have quite a lot of magic power, and they are so powerful, so they just secretly inquired in order to prevent the snake from being alerted. If we want to subdue the monsters, we have to divide our troops into two. The road will either lead them to one place and catch them all in one go.”
Fahai thought for a while and smiled: "It would be easier to deal with if it were just a human-eating monster."
"Master, what do you mean by this?"
"Send one person to pretend to be a commoner who strayed into the mountains and was caught by the monster. The group of monsters will go into the cave and enjoy themselves, and then they can catch the turtles in the jar." Fahai said this, paused for a moment, "It's a pity that the teacher Reputation is no longer useful, otherwise you can go out in person."
Xiao Bailong thought for a while and said: "Master, this matter requires the disciple to take action."
"oh?"
"Because these seven spiders are female and have beautiful human forms." Xiao Bailong pointed to his own face and said, "The disciples pretend to be rich brothers who wandered into the rivers and lakes and strayed into this place. Even if they don't like the appearance of the disciples. , just exude a little bit of dragon fragrance to make them take the bait."
After hearing this, the Great Sage couldn't help but said: "The little white dragon is a pure true dragon bloodline. It is said that eating a bite of its meat will not have the effect of immortality. I think it can also extend your life."
Hahaha--
Everyone laughed for a while, and then made a detailed plan.
It is also true that they are brave and talented people, but ordinary people, who dares to send themselves to the door to be used as bait for monsters?
Little Bailong entered the mountain first.
Everyone waited for a while before entering the mountain.
Pansi Ridge is less than 800 miles away, but it is around 500 miles away. The Pansi Cave is still deep in the mountains. The little white dragon still has the Great Sage Monkey Hair on his body, and both the master and the disciple can sense it.
Not long after walking, the Great Sage suddenly saw a waterfall. He stopped for a moment, turned around and jumped out of the jungle, with a little joy in his eyes.
Seeing the strange thing, Bajie opened a path, approached his senior brother, and asked curiously: "Brother Monkey, what are you looking at?"
"Ah haha, haha - it's so beautiful!" The Great Sage was overjoyed, swinging his hands in front of his chest. When he saw Bajie approaching, he pointed at the waterfall and said: "Bajie, look, here and my flowers and fruits The mountains are very similar”
Bajie was stunned for a moment and said: "Brother Monkey, I have never been to Huaguo Mountain either."
The Great Sage just smiled: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, I will point it out to you - look at this waterfall, there is one in my Huaguo Mountain, and behind the waterfall is the Water Curtain Cave."
Bajie shook his head and said, "Brother Monkey, I think this place is not as good as your Huaguo Mountain."
"Why?"
"There are no fruits here!" Bajie looked around and said, "There aren't many flowers either."
Wukong laughed and said to his master: "Master, let me go and take a look behind the waterfall."
"Teacher, let's go and have a look."
Wukong thought of the Water Curtain Cave, and Fahai also thought of the cold pool under a waterfall.
