On the bank of Liusha River, Wu Jing took off the Buddhist beads made from the skulls of nine generations of sutra collectors from his neck, buried it under the river monument of Liusha River, and then sat cross-legged on the ground and recited a verse Scripture.
Master Fa Hai and his disciples did not stay in Liusha Heduo. After Wu Jing completed the salvation ritual, he said goodbye to He Bo and the Dragon God's invitation and left on the clouds.
In Huangfengling, Xiao Bailong went to take care of the first batch of little monsters he rescued that year. Only then did he learn that it was them who united all the monsters in Xizhou and went to Lingshan to petition together, but they have not come back yet.
Xiao Bailong left a scroll of scriptures and asked them to stay safe and practice well.
As for what he would do in the future to achieve enlightenment and walk uprightly in the three realms, Xiao Bailong did not say anything. Because the longer he followed his master, Xiao Bailong began to think that these words were unreasonable.
Most of these little monsters are kind-hearted or cowardly in nature. Not to mention evil intentions, even when they see stronger mortals, they have to hide away. Why should they be dragged down by those monsters who are causing trouble?
Just like the little pig demon in Langlang Mountain, it seems that he can now walk in the three realms, but if he loses his identity as a "disciple of Tripitaka", he may not be able to walk more than a few miles before being "exterminated to protect the devil."
The Three Realms should not be like this.
The little white dragon is a dragon god, not a human or a demon. Therefore, he also has his own perspective on viewing sentient beings in the three realms.
Fahai has always encouraged this, and as long as Xiao Bailong's intentions are good, he has no intention of interfering.
Not only Xiao Bailong, but also the other disciples.
They always have to go their own way and always stay by their side, which is indeed not the case.
After passing Futu Mountain, and seeing that they were about to reach Gao Laozhuang, Fahai asked Bajie: "Do you want to go down and meet Miss Gao's family?"
"Let's forget it." Bajie shook his head quickly, "But master and disciple want to go to Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain."
Even though Marshal Tianpeng was demoted to the mortal world and turned evil, for Bajie himself, if Marshal Tianpeng hadn't always had a ray of kindness left to protect his true spirit, I'm afraid he wouldn't be where he is today. Such an encounter.
Not to mention becoming a disciple under the master, I'm afraid whether I can save my life is still open to question.
Bajie's feelings for Marshal Tianpeng are quite complicated, not to mention that before Marshal Tianpeng was about to be saved, he left all his abilities to Bajie. In fact, in another sense, Bajie can be regarded as The descendant of Marshal Tianpeng.
Although Bajie was revisiting his old place, since he did not go to Gao Laozhuang, he naturally did not waste too much time.
"Pity."
Wu Jing also sighed softly to the master: "After all, this disciple started a few days late. I thought that when I passed by Gao Laozhuang this time, I could meet Miss Gao, who had fascinated my second senior brother, so that I could leave a portrait. Unexpectedly, the second senior brother couldn't get in, it's because the disciple didn't have this opportunity."
Bajie was unmoved at all, and just said he couldn't see it, so he didn't see it.
"Even if we meet, what can we do?" Bajie felt a little bitter in his heart, "Can master let me return to secular life? Or has Miss Gao really been waiting for me, old pig, for so many years?"
"Now that things have happened, there is no need to deceive yourself." Bajie sighed in his heart and said, "It is better not to see him, otherwise it will only increase his troubles."
The Great Sage watched all the changes in Bajie's expression. At this time, the Great Sage seemed to understand a little bit why the master said that this idiot looked sentimental, but in fact he was a heartless person.
If his identity were changed, the Great Sage felt that he would definitely not be able to make such a decision.
Soon, the Great Sage put the matter behind him. Just as Bajie was worried, Miss Gao didn't like his pig head. Could it be that someone would like his thunderous face?
What I have seen and heard along the way is actually corroborated.
No matter where they go, Master and Little White Dragon have admirers. As for the two of them, except for some ignorant and fearless children who occasionally come to hang out with them, no woman has ever taken the initiative to stick to them.
Not counting the white-bone spirit who helped Bajie practice, she was sent by the master to test Bajie. Bajie also withstood the test and saw through the lust warning.
Old Mrs. Gao has died of illness.
Now the person in charge of Gao Laozhuang is Miss Gao.
Fourteen years have passed, and although Miss Gao is not yet forty years old, because she adopted an adopted son, who won the imperial examination in the Tang Dynasty some time ago, she was appointed as the county magistrate of a county in the original Wuszang Kingdom. After successfully suppressing the bandits, he was transferred back to the central court. The Emperor of the Tang Dynasty issued an order and granted Miss Gao the title of Madam.
In this one-third of an acre of land, they are all very noble people.
Someone asked her why she didn't get married?
Mrs. Gao only said: "When I got married, people from the village came to have a wedding banquet. Why did they say that I am not marrying?"
When everyone saw this, they naturally stopped talking.
Passing through Black Wind Mountain and Guanyin Monastery along the way, the Great Sage pointed in the direction of Black Wind Cave and said with a smile: "That's where my old grandson recited sutras for the first time."
Wu Jing immediately left Yunlu, went down and walked around in a circle, then spread out his pen and paper and began to draw.
The five masters and disciples did not stop when they passed by Wanku Mountain.
Fox Sister and Fifth Brother led their daughter to stay with Mrs. Yang at Guanjiangkou. Some ordinary foxes who are not in the mountains now have obviously been trained well by Fox Sister. Although they have evil spirits, they are not guilty. Karmic entanglement.
It's not because they are in Wanku Mountain, but their master and disciple have always been open-minded towards such fairies.
The Snake Coiled Mountain and the Eagle's Sad Stream were the sad place for Xiao Bailong. But when he passed by this place again, he obviously no longer cared about what happened back then and was very calm.
Not long after walking forward, Wukong looked around for a while and said to his master: "Master, that family at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain has disappeared now."
This is where the dream begins.
Especially for the Great Sage, it is the greatest honor in his life to be able to truly understand what kind of person the Master is here and to worship the Master sincerely.
But the grandfather and grandson were nowhere to be found, and even the thatched house was destroyed. This made the great sage look very unhappy.
Naturally, Wukong's emotional changes could not be hidden from Fahai, so Fahai simply pressed the cloud head again and landed outside the dilapidated hut.
The great sage didn't waste any time. He poked the bottom with his golden cudgel and shouted: "Old man from the land, come out quickly!"
Bang!
After a loud noise, some white smoke appeared on the ground. When the white smoke dissipated, the figure of an old man appeared in front of everyone.
"Land, let me ask. Huh?"
Before the Great Sage finished speaking, he was stunned and said, "It's you!"
But it was the Great Sage who recognized the other party when he saw the face of this land.
"Hehehehe." Tutu chuckled for a while, "It's the little old man. The little god has met the Holy Buddha, the Great Sage, and the elders."
"We haven't seen each other for more than ten years. How come you have become part of this place?"
"It was also thanks to the blessing of the Great Sage." Tutu said quickly: "The little god's yang life span was over, but his soul did not go to the underworld. Instead, he was taken to the mountain by the original mountain god of Wuzhi Mountain. After meeting Lord Bingling, It was sealed as the land here.”
This land was none other than the old man from back then. Seeing that he had this opportunity, the Great Sage congratulated him, and then asked: "Where is your little grandson?"
"The little old man passed away that year. He stayed filial piety for me for three years and then went to work in the Tang Dynasty."
"I see."
After some pleasantries, the Great Sage figured out the whole story and realized that he had almost misunderstood. After chatting for a few more words about the land, the master and the disciples walked to the "site" of Wuxing Mountain on foot.
After all, it was the place where the Great Sage Qitian was suppressed back then. Now that he is here, he naturally has to take a closer look.
Wu Jing made another splash of ink.
Heavenly Court, Tushita Palace.
"What's going on with Yang Erlang?" Laojun glanced at the Jade Emperor with a smile on his lips: "It's been almost a year since my son was born, why is there no movement at all?"
The Jade Emperor knew that Lao Jun was deliberately teasing him, but in front of Lao Jun, he was too lazy to put on pretense. This was one of the few places where he could let go of his pretense, and besides, not all secrets could be kept in front of Lao Jun. Liveable.
"Human customs include full-moon banquets and hundred-day banquets. Now it seems that we can only wait and see whether he can host this first-year banquet." The Jade Emperor was playing with an object in his hand. This was his uncle and grandfather. A greeting gift made by myself for my grandson.
Unfortunately, I never had the chance to send it out.
The old man sent a gourd to the Jade Emperor and said, "Your Majesty, let's have a taste of this pot."
The Jade Emperor took one and put it in his mouth, tasted it for a while, showed a look of great enjoyment, and said with a smile: "Just right!"
In these days in Tushita Palace, the alchemy furnace has not stopped, but only the two of them and the Qingniu know that Laojun's alchemy furnace does not contain the Nine-turn Golden Pill that can make people become immortals, but the three realms. Various candies made from various spiritual fruits.
It's a snack prepared for Young Master Yang. At first glance, it's enough for him to enjoy throughout his childhood.
Since it is produced by Laojun, there is no need to worry about the quality, and there is no need to be afraid that eating it will cause tooth decay, otherwise it will simply be Laojun himself destroying his own brand.
"These candies are second best." Laojun chuckled, looked at the Jade Emperor and said, "A few days ago, His Majesty asked the old Taoist to refine a human body."
As soon as the Jade Emperor heard this, he immediately sat up straighter, with obvious expectations in his eyes.
Laojun didn't show off, and said directly: "It's done."
After that, Laojun waved his whisk, and a lifelike body appeared in front of the Jade Emperor. This body was glowing like white spots, but its face was chaotic and its appearance could not be seen at all. "Your Majesty, you can The soul of the person who wants to be resurrected will pass into it." As he said that, Laojun took out another golden elixir and sent it to the Jade Emperor, "Let him take this soul-melting elixir again, and he will be able to live with this soul-melting elixir. The physical body made of Chaos Jade is completely integrated into one body, and there will be no future troubles.”
The Jade Emperor stood up, looked serious, bowed solemnly to Laojun, and said, "Thank you, Laojun, for your help!"
"It's just a piece of cake." The old man shook the whisk twice, and then said: "Now that the journey to the west is over, the old Taoist will start the matter of the return of the Eight Immortals."
"I will cooperate fully."
After the Jade Emperor expressed his stance, he put away the jade body.
Although both parties knew it well, the Jade Emperor couldn't help but ask Lao Jun, "I'm not curious, Lao Jun, for whom did I prepare this jade body?"
"Chaos jade is not a thing of the three realms." When Laojun saw the Jade Emperor asking, he knew that the other party wanted him to tell the truth, so he followed the Jade Emperor's words and said: "And among the three realms, there are indeed three people. The leader of the three people whose heels and heels should be on top of the Chaos Jade is naturally Your Majesty."
The Jade Emperor nodded, indicating that Laojun's words were correct.
"Then as your Majesty's biological sister, the eldest princess Yao Ji, who was the goddess in charge of the world of desire in heaven, is also following suit. And it is naturally self-evident who the owner of this jade body will be. "This question is not difficult at all for Laojun, and since there are such obvious clues, it is impossible for Laojun not to guess it.
"Besides, your majesty was able to gather the soul of the eldest princess back then. It was the old Taoist who secretly took action." The old gentleman and his majesty looked at each other and said with a smile: "Presumably, this is what your majesty wants to ask."
"What Laojun said is right." The Jade Emperor nodded. Seeing that Laojun had said it clearly, he had nothing to hide, "After all, I was stealing from Tiandao. It was too easy back then, and I always felt a little uneasy. of."
"In order to save Yao Ji's chance of survival, you sent your ten sons to Yang Jian's mountain-breaking ax." Instead, Lao Jun shook his head and said: "The old Taoist just followed the trend, and actually did not take action deliberately."
"If your Majesty insists on asking why." The old gentleman waved the fly whisk, touched his long beard with one hand, and said in a deep voice: "If the eldest princess really lost this chance of survival back then, I am afraid that your Majesty's wrath will spread to the three realms. .”
The Jade Emperor smiled slightly when he heard this, bowed his hands to Lao Jun, then stood up and left without saying anything more.
He didn't even intend to hear who the third person was that Lao Jun had not yet said.
To be honest, sometimes even Laojun can't understand the Jade Emperor's thoughts, especially the Jade Emperor's attitude towards the way of heaven, which is sometimes close and sometimes resistant, which makes Laojun a little unclear. This is why Laojun One of the reasons for not leaving heaven easily.
In order to be able to restrain the Jade Emperor in heaven, as long as he is in heaven, the Jade Emperor must restrain himself and not do too much in many things.
It is precisely because of this that he had a hand or two in many things that the Jade Emperor did, overtly or covertly.
For example, when Sun Wukong was thrown into the alchemy furnace for refining, it was all a lie to refine the elixirs in Sun Wukong's body. The medicinal power of helping Sun Wukong refine those elixirs was still about the same.
Moreover, those elixirs back then were originally prepared for Sun Wukong. All the truly top elixirs like the "Nine Transformations Golden Elixir" were put away by Lao Jun in advance.
Let’s not talk about these, let’s just say that the fact that the head of the great sage could not be chopped off on the demon-slaying platform was really a problem for the heavens?
