Facing the dog demon that was bowing to him, Li Daoxuan didn't seem surprised at all, and there was a hint of emotion in his voice.
"I haven't seen you for just a few months, but I didn't expect you to become what you are today."
Xiaotian said respectfully: "If it weren't for the immortal's enlightenment in the past, the little demon would never have achieved what it is today. I'm afraid it would still be a confused wild dog that would have died of freezing or starvation in a corner."
In the past, when Li Daoxuan first returned to Longhu Mountain, there were many cases of pregnant women hanging themselves in the mountain. Later, Li Daoxuan found Shanghe Village and killed the horse demon there. He found that the nightmare boy was controlled by Zhang Jiuxiao's son, Zhang Tiande, and was fighting during the battle. After the process, he randomly enlightened a wild dog.
It was just a casual and unintentional move at first, but I didn't expect that this dog demon had a lot of blessings. It seemed that he had an adventure. Although he has not yet reached the Yin Shen realm, his physical strength is already among the best in the Bigu realm.
Li Daoxuan nodded, then opened his eyebrows and looked at the dog demon, his eyes darkened slightly.
He clearly saw a ray of black energy on his body, indicating that although this dog monster had never eaten people, he had also done bad things.
Under Li Daoxuan's gaze, Xiao Tian felt as if he was being crushed by Mount Tai. He was out of breath, and his proud body felt like it was about to burst.
Especially the eye between the Immortal Master's brows puts tremendous pressure on it, as if everything about it is seen through by that eye, leaving nothing to hide.
"Master Immortal, please calm down. Since the little demon was enlightened by you, he has kept your teachings in mind and has never eaten human beings. However, sometimes when he was hungry, he would inevitably steal some chickens and ducks to eat. Later, he lived in Beishan and recruited people there. Some mountain spirits and wild monsters call themselves the Demon King of the North Mountain, but they only scare the merchants and have never harmed anyone!"
Li Daoxuan looked at it quietly, his eyes were like thunder, making the hair on its body stand on end, but he still did not dare to resist and bowed his head humbly.
"Brother, Xiaotian has been following me for a while now. He has changed his habit of stealing and is no longer scary. Why don't you let him go?"
Xuanzang could not help but plead for mercy.
Li Dao
He was not pretending, but was sounding the alarm to this dog monster.
Very few monsters can resist the temptation of cannibalism. Because they have no skills, they practice very slowly. If they don't eat people, they can only rely on hard work accumulated over time.
But the environment that monsters live in is one where the jungle is predatory. If you are weak, you are likely to become the food or subordinate of other monsters.
Therefore, most monsters have a hobby of cannibalism. For them, human flesh not only speeds up their spiritual practice, but is also a unique delicacy in the world!
This is also the reason why so many gods' mounts in "Journey to the West" can't help but eat people after they come down to earth. For example, the carp raised by Guanyin likes to eat boys and girls the most. After the longevity star's mount comes down to earth, he turns into a monk and a master. He proposed to use the hearts and livers of 1,111 children to make elixirs for longevity.
Not to mention the three demons of Shituoling, they directly created a terrifying cannibal kingdom.
Even the mounts of gods and Buddhas are like this, let alone ordinary monsters in the mortal world, so Demon Li Daoxuan gave it a vaccination to prevent this dog monster from going astray.
As Li Daoxuan withdrew his gaze, Xiaotian felt like he was sweating profusely. The creature that had easily killed several water ghouls just now was now trembling with fear.
It was thankful in its heart that it had resisted the temptation of cannibalism and had not touched the immortal master's bottom line, otherwise it would have become a dead dog now.
"I'm doing it for your own good too. Although cannibalism can speed up your cultivation, it is like drinking poison to quench your thirst. If you want to step into the Yin Shen realm and transform into a human being, you must survive the thunder tribulation. The more sins you will bear by then. , the thunder disaster becomes more difficult to survive."
Xiao Tian trembled, then shrank in size and turned into a soft and cute little black dog. His tail kept wagging, and he ran to Li Daoxuan's feet and rubbed against his shoes.
"Thank you, Master Immortal, for your guidance!"
That flattering look makes him look like a little licking dog.
Li Daoxuan shook his head and smiled, then walked to the Bashui River, stared at the corpses floating on the water, and frowned slightly.
When did these water ghouls appear?
This is Chang'an. If there are really water ghouls causing trouble, it is impossible for bad people not to receive the news, unless these water ghouls have just appeared recently.
But Li Daoxuan looked around and found that the yin energy here was not too heavy.
Monsters like water ghouls will only be born in places with extremely heavy yin energy, and often only one will be born. Li Daoxuan has only seen several water ghouls appear together once, in Surabaya, Xuzhou. river.
However, the Sishui River has a dark atmosphere. During the Sui Dynasty, many people were buried there due to the construction of the canal. It is understandable that several water ghouls were born, so why should they be here?
Li Daoxuan was puzzled. For some reason, he suddenly remembered the rumors he heard in Xuzhou.
A man accidentally fell into the Sishui River in Xuzhou. He survived by luck, but turned into a madman. He shouted all day long that there were thousands of water ghouls under the water, as many as heavenly soldiers and generals.
Later, Li Daoxuan used a unicorn whisk to go into the water to catch monsters, but he only found eight water ghouls.
…
"Brother?"
Xuanzang saw Li Daoxuan standing by the water without speaking, so he couldn't help shouting.
Li Daoxuan came to his senses and said with a smile: "What's wrong?"
"Brother, are there such monsters underwater?"
"there is none left."
Xuanzang nodded, and then asked: "Brother, I fell into the water before and dropped two things. One is a book and the other is an alms bowl. Can you help me find it?"
Li Daoxuan smiled slightly and said, "It's just a small matter."
He pointed a finger and saw a column of water rushing up, sending two things in front of Xuanzang, one was "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and the other was a purple and gold alms bowl.
The moment he saw the purple gold alms bowl, Li Daoxuan showed surprise.
Because this alms bowl is the magic weapon of the evil Buddha Maha. This object can become extremely large, contains immeasurable universe, can suck people into it, and is very strong.
Li Daoxuan had previously smashed it down with Fantian Seal, and Maha wanted to use the purple-gold alms bowl to stop it, but the bowl was directly smashed away and fell like a wave, falling to no one knows where.
Later, Li Shimin sent people to search for it, but found nothing.
Unexpectedly, it was in Xuanzang’s hands!
It can only be said that Xuanzang is worthy of being the future eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, a Buddhist scripture seeker from the West, and has a deep connection with Buddhism. This purple and gold alms bowl went around and around, and finally returned to his hand.
Like the trajectory of fate.
And the book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" made Li Daoxuan even more imaginative.
"Xuan Zang, didn't Master Sanle teach you how to practice?"
Li Daoxuan probed.
The current Xuanzang still has no mana fluctuations in his body, and he is not even in the Bigu state.
Xuanzang shook his head, but his expression was calm, and he said: "Master must have his considerations, and I also found that what I like more than practicing, seems to be reading and translating Buddhist scriptures."
He looked at Li Dao My abilities are limited, so I am satisfied with being a grass that can shelter ants."
"The important task of slaying demons and demons will be left to you, my eldest brother. I will chant bells and drums in the morning and evening, and pray for my eldest brother in front of the Buddha day and night."
Li Daoxuan was startled, looking at Xuanzang with clear eyes and calm expression, he immediately looked at him with admiration.
He did not expect that Xuanzang's state of mind would have improved so much after not seeing him for two years. Now he truly had the temperament of an eminent monk.
Don't be confused by power, don't be disturbed by fame and fortune, let go of unnecessary desires and gain peace of mind.
This is a rare quality.
"Xuan Zang, my elder brother is really impressed by you. I believe that you will never be just an ordinary monk in the future. Once you become enlightened, you will be a late bloomer!"
Li Daoxuan believes that there is some kind of hidden force driving the trajectory of destiny.
Now that the gods and Buddhas have disappeared, there will no longer be Guanyin Bodhisattva who will give Xuanzang the Three Treasures and designate him as the person to fetch Buddhist scriptures from the West. However, two of the Three Treasures have now come to Xuanzang, one is a purple gold alms bowl, and the other is The item is the brocade cassock in Li Daoxuan's gourd.
There was also the "Three Hundred Children's Songs", which gave Li Daoxuan the urge to tear it into pieces and then put it back together to see if he could form the "Great Sun Tathagata Sutra".
"Xuan Zang, Master Sanle came to Chang'an before and asked me to take care of you. He has to leave for a while for something and will come back to you soon. Otherwise, why don't you live with me in the Xuandu courtyard first?"
"Perhaps I have a house in the capital that is rewarded by His Majesty, and I can give it to you to live in."
Xuanzang felt a little disappointed when he heard that his master was no longer in Chang'an, but he quickly cheered up.
"Brother, can you recommend me to go to Daxingshan Temple to practice Buddhism? I heard that there are ten thousand volumes of Buddhist scriptures there, and even the ancient Sanskrit scriptures brought by Janagata and Damagupta from India. I want to go there. Practice Buddhism and read scriptures.”
There was a hint of expectation in Xuanzang's eyes. For him, these ancient Buddhist scriptures with subtle meanings were more attractive than magic and supernatural powers.
It's just that he is just a young novice monk now and has not yet received the monk's ordination. Let alone go to Daxingshan Temple to study Buddhist scriptures. Even if he wants to sweep the floor there, he may not be qualified.
Daxingshan Temple is the most prosperous temple in Chang'an. It is located in Dongjingshanfang. It was built in the second year of Taishi, Emperor Wu of Jin Dynasty. It was originally named "Zunshan Temple" and was later renamed Daxingshan Temple by Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty. It has been 400 years ago. Years of history.
Li Dao
"Thank you, brother!"
Xuanzang bowed and saluted, feeling very grateful. For the eldest brother, this might be just a piece of cake, but for him, it was the realization of his dream wish.
"Why are you so polite to me? By the way, brother has a gift for you. I'm sure you like it!"
Li Daoxuan turned his hand, and the brocade cassock in the gourd of the Three Realms appeared in his palm. It was red cloth with gold patterns, inlaid with seven Buddhist treasures such as glass and agate. It was really brilliant and brilliant, shining in the sun.
"This is a brocade cassock. It is made of the Seven Treasures of Buddhism. It is invulnerable to fire and water, and is invulnerable to swords and guns. It is also protected by merit and luck. It is difficult for ordinary demons to harm the body. If you can wear it today, even if there are ten water ghouls, you will be able to wear it." I can’t move you!”
As he said this, Li Daoxuan wanted to put it on Xuanzang.
Xuanzang quickly took a step back and said, "Brother, this is too valuable, I can never accept it!"
The favor of giving the sword back then has not yet been repaid. The cassock in front of him is far more precious than the fish intestine sword. If he accepts it, how can his conscience be at ease?
Li Dao
Xuanzang still shook his head and said stubbornly: "Then I can't accept it either!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes moved, and a smile appeared. He thought of a good idea, and he didn't have to worry about Xuanzang's refusal to wear it.
"Xuan Zang, look at your clothes. They were wet from the water just now. I feel like you can't wear them anymore. Brother, please help you change into another one."
Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and before he could react, he saw his eldest brother pointing his finger at him, and suddenly the red sword light flashed like lightning.
He only heard the sound of broken cloth, and felt a chill on his body. When he came back to his senses, he found that he was already standing naked between heaven and earth, and all the clothes on his body were chopped into powder by the sword energy.
"Big...brother!"
Xuanzang's face suddenly turned red, like a ripe persimmon.
Li Daoxuan laughed and threw the brocade cassock to him.
"Xuan Zang, this is the only cassock you can wear now. Of course, if you still don't want to wear it, I won't force you."
"Woof woof!"
Xiaotian glanced at Xuanzang thiefly, raised his eyebrows, and showed surprise.
That's okay, the little monk doesn't show his true face.
Xuanzang didn't hesitate and immediately put on his cassock. When he felt the clothes on him, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still red.
"Brother, I still have some things to deal with, so I'll leave first. I'll make arrangements for Daxingshan Temple, so you just have to go. In addition, Xiaotian will let me use it for a while."
After Li Daoxuan said these words, he waved his long sleeves, and the space around him and Xiaotian shook slightly, like ripples on the surface of a calm lake.
The next moment, one person and one dog disappeared.
Xuanzang bowed in the direction where Li Daoxuan disappeared, then carefully took the purple gold alms bowl and the book "Three Hundred Children's Songs" and walked towards Daxingshan Temple.
But what he didn't know was that about half an hour after he left, the body floating in the water suddenly sank to the bottom of the lake. When it reappeared, it had turned into a pile of white bones, as if it had been eaten away by something.
…
"Woof woof!"
"Master Immortal, it's so scary here. The dragon in the sky is staring at us!"
Xiaotian jumped on his short legs and hid behind Li Daoxuan, his tail raised high and his hair standing on end, as if he was very frightened.
Roar!
Dragon roars were heard in the void, and the dragon energy hovering over the Tai Chi Palace was awakened. It seemed that it had noticed that a monster had entered the palace, and its dragon eyes looked in the direction of Li Daoxuan.
The blue dragon tattoo on Li Daoxuan's back was slightly hot, and there were bursts of dragon roars, as if he was talking to the dragon's energy.
In the end, the dragon spirit looked away and stopped paying attention.
Xiaotian finally put down his tail, stuck out his tongue and panted, seemingly frightened.
It knew that if it hadn't been for the protection of the immortal master just now, I'm afraid it would have been bitten to death by the dragon now!
"Can you see the dragon?"
Li Daoxuan suddenly asked.
"Wow, wow, I can see it, it scares me to death!"
Li Daoxuan's eyes flickered, and he became somewhat curious about this dog demon's adventure.
Whether it is the dragon's energy or the dragon's roar just now, ordinary people cannot see or hear it. People who are cultivators or those with higher spirituality can sense the existence of the dragon's energy, but they cannot see it, unless they practice powerful eye skills. Or have extraordinary bloodline.
For example, Li Daoxuan's Erlang Zhenjun opened the eyes of the sky.
This dog demon has no pupil skills. He can see dragon energy just by relying on his own blood. The origin of his heels may be unusual.
This is what Li Daoxuan is curious about. He must know that when he enlightened this demon, it was just an ordinary wild dog.
But now is not the time to ask. Li Daoxuan looked around. The house was beautifully decorated, covered with soft carpets, and had many porcelain vases with various beautiful flowers and plants inside.
This is Changle's boudoir.
Li Daoxuan said to Xiaotian: "I want you to help me find someone through the smell."
Thank you to Yixiaoyoutianxia for the 10,000 tip, thank you to the Marlboro Boys for the 200 tip, and thank you to Slightly Fat Peanut for the 100 tip. Thank you!
