There is obviously something wrong with the order issued by the second king of Shituoling.
The three demons, Dapeng, only suggested that he disperse the patrols, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he told the little demons on each hilltop in the mountain to be prepared, and even wanted to cover twenty miles outside the mountain.
But no matter what, the request of these demons is to catch Master Tripitaka; and Master Tripitaka wants to surrender them in one fell swoop.
In fact, with the abilities of their masters and disciples, even the Eastern Ocean can swing open the way, even the iron-wrapped mountains of silver can break through the door, but there are few places in the Three Realms that can block their way.
It's just that there are too many little demons in Shituo Ridge. If True Lord Erlang hadn't come, and their master and disciples wanted to save all the demons in Shituo Ridge, the variables involved would be incalculable. Fahai would naturally not act rashly. .
But things are different now. With True Monarch Erlang leading the heavenly soldiers here, and having found out the whereabouts of the three demons, there is no need to discuss too many strategies.
Therefore, Fahai made the six-eared macaque look like a great sage, and the master and his disciples entered the mountain openly, leaving Erlang Shen Yang Jian behind to dispatch troops and horses outside the mountain, and cooperate with each other inside and outside.
On the Lion Camel Ridge.
The master and his disciples had just entered the mountain and had not walked a few steps when they heard the tinkling and peeling sound of bells behind the mountain. After a pause, they saw a young man holding a pole. With a flag with the word "order" in it, a bell hanging on his waist, and a clapper in his hand, he walked out of the mountain from north to south.
He shouted in his mouth: "The king asked me to patrol the mountains - after searching the south mountain, look for the north. Oops!"
But it was this little Zuanfeng who bumped into Tang Seng and his apprentice, startling him and jumping from the road to the rocks.
He pointed at Bajie and the "Great Sage" and said, "Where did you monsters come from!?"
Everyone was stunned for a moment when they heard his question. It was obviously a bit unexpected.
Bajie even touched his nose. He had been mistaken for a monster by monsters countless times.
But the little monster didn't wait for their master and disciple to answer. He just looked at the Great Sage and Bajie and said, "Monsters from other mountains are not allowed to enter Shituoling without permission. You guys wait here while I go ask the leader to come over."
After saying that, Xiao Zhuanfeng jumped to the other side of the rock and ran away without looking back.
"Catch him and bring him back." Fa Hai ordered Liu Er, who had turned into Wukong.
The six-eared macaque, who had become a great sage, flew up to catch up, grabbed the little Zuofeng, lifted it in front of the master with his backhand, threw it to the ground, and said: "Master, this little demon is quite clever. .”
The little demon cried in his heart: What's the use of being clever? It's not like I was caught by you.
"Your Majesty, have mercy on your life, Your Majesty, have mercy on your life!" The little demon kowtowed repeatedly, but when he saw that everyone ignored him, he had to keep saying: "Holy Monk, have mercy on me. Holy Monk, have mercy on me."
"Humph." Even Bajie could see at this moment that the little demon's words just now were clearly trying to fool people, deliberately mistaking them for demons as a way to delay the attack, so he said to scare him: "Master, little demon He is full of tricks, so he should be sent to reincarnation instead of being a disaster in the world."
Seeing that the little demon was kowtowing louder and louder, Bajie placed the rake in front of him and asked, "You little demon, how can you pretend not to know who I am?"
Did he ask questions knowingly? At this juncture, the configuration was still like this. Any goblin who had had thoughts about Tang Sanzang would be able to recognize them. What's more, it was a drill wind specially used to patrol mountains?
At this moment, the little Zhuanfeng was naturally very panicked. Hearing Bajie's question, he quickly explained: "How virtuous is the little demon? He is just a little demon patrolling the mountains. How virtuous is he to dare to meet all the elders?"
For an ordinary little demon, meeting Tang Seng and his disciples is of course a fatal thing. At this moment, it has fallen into the hands of others. I just hope that Master Tripitaka can spare his life because he has not had time to do evil. Naturally, he will answer all questions: "Holy monk, the kings above want to eat you." Meat, since these little monsters like us who come out to beg for food are working under the king, naturally we will do whatever the king orders us to do."
The king above wants to eat Tang Sanzang, what does it have to do with little monsters like them?
Not to mention being able to get a mouthful of meat, I'm afraid it's hard to even find a mouthful of soup.
Some brainless people can't hold it back, but the little Zhuanfeng in front of them obviously has some ideas, "The king asked us to patrol the mountain, so we must be obedient. The disobedient little monster will not be allowed to stay in Shituoling." Yao Shi recognized the elders at a glance, but he didn't dare to tell them off. He just wanted to fool a few words, pretend not to see them, and left like this, but unexpectedly, the holy monk saw through them and asked the great sage to catch them."
Xiao Zhuanfeng lowered his eyebrows at this time, as if he were harmless to humans and animals, and allowed Master Sanzang and his disciples to behave at will.
"Amitabha."
Fahai didn't expect to elicit such words, and thought to himself: In fact, isn't the classification of levels in the demon clan more stringent than that of the human clan?
"It's up to you to lead the way." Fahai said to Xiao Zhuanfeng, "Let's lead the poor monk to the Lion Camel Cave to meet your two great kings."
"Ah this." Xiao Zhuanfeng was stunned for a moment, and then he knew what Master Sanzang was trying to do.
His own king planned to eat the meat of Tang Monk, and with the temperament of this holy monk, he naturally also wanted to slay demons. How could he turn a blind eye and remain indifferent when passing by Shituoling now?
His grandma's.
The little demon cursed in his heart, it was clearly a dispute between big guys like you, but now it makes me, a little demon, suffer, it is totally unreasonable.
Even demons believe in the laws of nature. Otherwise, those demons with spiritual enlightenment will not practice honestly and hope that one day they can attain enlightenment and become immortals.
Master Sanzang asked him to lead the way. Of course, Little Zuanfeng did not dare not to follow him along the way. More and more Little Zuanfeng followed him. Some little demons saw them from a distance and actually started to spread rumors: "The people from Zuanfeng Camp are Brother caught Tang Sanzang!"
Soon, the news spread throughout the Lion Camel Ridge, and the mountain leaders who were about to lead the little monsters out of the mountain naturally stopped and subconsciously led the little monsters towards the direction of the Lion Camel Cave.
When the green lion and white elephant in the lion camel cave received the news, their expressions were very different.
Qingshi was overjoyed and drank another jar of medicinal wine. With the strength of the wine, he immediately promised to reward Xiao Zuofeng heavily for catching Tang Sanzang.
In this regard, Bai Xiang could only say that Qing Shi's brain had long been lost to the clouds.
It would be strange to say that there are no ghosts in this.
I'm afraid that Tang Sanzang had used Xiao Bailong to figure out their brothers' whereabouts, and now that they were coming into the mountain, he would naturally take action against them.
This was also expected by Bai Xiang, so he would not be surprised by it.
At this time, the little white dragon carrying the yin and yang gas bottles had not yet entered the mountain. Coincidentally, Dapeng had not received the message from the white elephant, so he did not know what the current situation was in Shituo Ridge.
What kind of scene is this Shituoling?
Fahai has seen it with his own eyes. Compared with this place, those monster mountains in the past can be regarded as "good places".
Skeletons are like mountains, and bones are like forests.
Human hair was turned into felt pieces, and human skin was rotted into dust.
People's tendons are wrapped around the trees, and their branches are burnt and shiny like silver.
It was really a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, and the stench was really unpleasant.
That is to say, there are no people around now. Otherwise, the sight of living people would probably be cut into pieces, and the scenes of freshly cooked human flesh would be everywhere.
After careful inference, it is not difficult to figure out what kind of hell this place was in Shituoling back then, but it was also a place where demons caroused.
Xiao Zuanfeng, who was leading the way, noticed the chilling aura coming from behind. When he thought that this aura came from a senior monk, he shuddered all over.
Qing Shi may have thought that Tang Sanzang had thrown himself into a trap, and it would take no effort to get it.
But Bai Xiang had already been very cautious. Even when Xiao Zuanfeng led Tang Seng and his disciples to the door of the cave, the door was closed tightly.
"Come forward and call the door."
Fahai said to Xiao Zuanfeng.
Xiao Zhuanfeng subconsciously walked to the door. It wasn't until he knocked on the door of the cave that he suddenly woke up: Damn it, I actually listened to him like this? Could this be the legendary Buddhist method of deceiving people?
Of course, the little demon is just thinking wildly. Let alone a little demon patrolling the mountains, Fahai would not use such inferior and inferior methods even when facing the three kings of Shituoling.
Bang bang bang.
Xiao Zuanfeng knocked on the cave door.
Seeing that there was no response from the cave, Xiao Zuanfeng prepared to knock two more times.
But I heard Master Sanzang behind me say, "The poor monk Tang Sanzang has come to pay homage to the mountain."
The voice seemed to pass through the cave door and into the cave.
Creak——
The cave door slowly opened, and a demon king came out. The demons quickly paid homage to the two kings.
Fa Hai took a closer look at his face and found that his face was indeed somewhat similar to that of the little elephant from Baoxiang Kingdom.
The phoenix has golden eyes, yellow teeth and thick legs. A long nose with silver hair, the head looks like a tail. The round forehead is frowning, and the body is cheerful. This one is an old elephant with yellow tusks who has hidden his teeth for many years.
"Amitabha." Fa Hai held the nine-ringed tin staff in one hand and raised the other hand in front of him, making a Buddha salute.
Bai Xiang also held his fists in his arms, doing the common courtesy, and said: "Master Tripitaka, I have admired your name for a long time, and now you are here at Shituoling. Since the visitor is a guest, why don't you go into the cave to talk about it?"
When Xiao Zhuanfeng saw this scene, he was surprised and said in his heart: "It's strange that the two kings met, not to mention being extremely jealous, but they actually started talking to each other like this. Second king, if you invite Master Sanzang into the cave like this, will they agree?" What?"
Xiao Zhuanfeng was not the only one who was thinking this way, the little demons around him were also thinking about the same thing at the moment.
Master Tripitaka nodded and said, "Please."
This was even more unexpected for them.
Not only were these little monsters unexpected, but even Bai Xiang, who had invited him, did not expect Master Tripitaka to agree so happily.
Fahai is naturally confident. There are only two demon kings in the cave. Even in their cave, Fahai is confident that he and Liu Er can defeat them. The little demons in the cave are naturally taken care of by Bajie and Wujing. .
What's more, they had discussed with True Lord Erlang before. When they entered the cave, they could attract a group of monsters to gather on the top of the main mountain and catch them all in one fell swoop.
Bai Xiang led the way. He knew the relationship between Master Tripitaka and his son, but he never mentioned a word.
Fahai could naturally see that Bai Xiang was hiding his thoughts, but he obviously had no plans to unravel him at this moment. Although Bai Xiang was not burdened with human-eating karma, those mortals who fell into the mouth of the little monster in Shituoling were... It has nothing to do with him.
If he and Qingshi hadn't gathered the demons this time, the people around Shituoling would not have suffered this disaster.
The inside and outside of the cave can be said to be two completely different scenes. If we say that the outside of the cave is a forbidden area for humans, it is a place where monsters dance wildly.
So the display in this cave is quite like the scene of an immortal's house, and it doesn't look like a monster's house.
What you see is strange and elegant, beautiful and spacious.
There are yaocao fairy flowers on the left and right, and pine trees and bamboos on the front and back.
There is fragrance everywhere, but where is the smell of blood?
One walked seven or eight miles inward before reaching the third door——
Hululu——Hululu——
The snoring was loud and echoed in the cave.
Fahai opened his eyes to look around, only to see an old demon sleeping slumped on a chair in the center. The cave was full of the smell of alcohol, and he could smell the bitter smell of some herbs inside.
The masters and disciples saw that the old demon was snoring like thunder, and between the opening and closing of his huge mouth, there were even more jagged teeth. Coupled with his nose turned up to the sky, his red eyebrows and flaming face, his round head looked... More vicious.
The lion is the king of beasts.
What's more, this green-haired lion does not hide its ferocity at all. If it roars in the Shituoling Mountain, it will make all the beasts panic; if it wanders around in a circle, the demons will tremble.
There are hundreds of big and small bosses listed in those two rows, each of them is fully dressed, neatly dressed, majestic and murderous.
It was only then that Bai Xiang took out the jade talisman and sent a message to Dapeng in front of Master Sanzang: "Third brother, Master Sanzang and his disciples, except for Xiao Bailong, are all in my cave at the moment."
"Tang Monk." Bai Xiang said to Sanzangfa without any concealment: "That little white dragon is being hunted by my third brother at the moment. You may not know that my third brother is a golden-winged roc, specializing in eating real dragons."
He seemed to want to see some panic on Master Sanzang's face, but it was obvious that Fahai's calmness at the moment naturally disappointed him.
Something's wrong!
Tang Sanzang's calmness was probably an act, but the disdain and ridicule shown by several disciples behind him, especially Zhu Bajie, when he heard his words, gave him a warning sign in his heart.
The green lion slept soundly in the cave, and it was all up to the white elephant to deal with Tripitaka and his disciples.
But outside Shituo Ridge, Dapeng, who had been summoned by his second brother, couldn't help but take action. He held it back all the way because he was worried that Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice had other plans. In addition, he wanted to use Xiao Bailong to pull off the trick. , leading Tang Seng and his disciples, but they didn't expect that their master and disciples had already arrived in the Lion Camel Cave.
Although the second brother did not tell the whole story clearly, the message from the second brother was that Xiao Bailong was no longer useful, so he quickly returned to the cave to clean up Tang Sanzang.
"Bah!"
Dapeng, who was in the clouds but transformed into the size of a mosquito, suddenly revealed his true form. After a high cry, his wings stretched out, as if covering the sky and the sun, and a shadow covered the little white dragon.
Uh-huh!
A pair of sharp claws seemed to be about to scratch the head of the little white dragon.
Ding dong!
But Xiao Bailong, who was well prepared, threw down the burden in his hand and summoned the cold spear to hold Dapeng's claws back.
"Ouch——!"
When the patrol leader and another Zhuan Feng saw this, they were so frightened that they rolled around. They didn't even want the yin and yang gas bottles. They hid behind a rock. How could they have imagined such a change in front of them?
