Master and disciple came to the Liusha River again. Looking at the rolling water, Sanzang asked: "Wukong, how to cross the river?"
Xue Tianqing smiled after hearing this, jumped to the water's edge, and then began to recite the spell silently.
The next moment, the river was divided into left and right sides, and an alley formed by a water wall appeared in the middle of the river.
Seeing the surprised expressions on their faces, Xue Tianqing smiled and said, "Master and junior brother, if you are not on your way, when can we wait?"
Only then did Sanzang react: "Bajie, it's not easy for your senior brother to do this. I'll get on the road quickly."
After saying that, he urged his horse and headed towards the Liusha River.
Seeing that the method of blocking water on a snowy and clear land was used so casually, Bajie felt a little confused.
He wanted to say something, but Sanzang had already rushed into the river, and he had no choice but to follow him.
Although it is summer, the alley formed by the river is quite cool, so walking on the road is quite pleasant.
Who wants to go straight to the west side of the sun, but still can't see the west bank of Liusha River, which makes Sanzang a little irritated.
"Wukong, after walking for a day, why can't you see the shadow on the other side?"
Xue Tianqing smiled slightly: "Master, you will arrive in the West soon."
Sanzang was stunned: "Could it be that Lingshan is in the water?"
Before Xue Tianqing could say anything, a burst of silver bell-like laughter sounded: "Tang Sanzang, Lingshan is not in the water, but the Western Heaven is here!"
Sanzang was shocked when he heard this, but before he could react, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air and lifted him up.
"Tang Sanzang, my sister is right, this is your Western Heaven!"
Bajie was shocked when he saw this: "Senior brother, why is this?"
"You can just live a good life, but you have to accompany this old monk to travel across mountains and rivers. Do you think it's worth it?"
After saying that, without waiting for Bajie to react, he kicked him to the ground: "Sister, I brought him here for you."
As the water ripples rolled, the Crystal Palace appeared not far in front of the three of them.
The woman stood inside the gate and looked at Xue Tianqing and smiled softly: "Thank you, brother."
Xue Tianqing carried Tang Seng and Bajie, raised the white horse with her feet, and turned into a gust of wind and rushed into the Crystal Palace.
Just looking at the posture, it is no different from the wild monster of the mountain spirit.
Entering the hall, Xue Tianqing tied Sanzang and the two to a pillar nearby, tied the white horse, and then came to the woman: "Sister, how are you doing?"
The woman chuckled and said, "Thank you, brother."
After saying that, he reached out to hold Xue Tianqing's arm, and walked straight to the side hall, leaving only Sanzang with an ashen face and Bajie who kept cursing.
As the woman left, Water Wall Alley disappeared immediately, and the entire palace was immediately enveloped in the ocean.
Fortunately, the Crystal Palace was different. Although there was river water outside the palace, there was not a trace of water vapor inside the palace, otherwise Sanzang would have died in an instant.
Seeing Xue Tianqing leaving with the woman, Bajie tried his best to break free from the rope.
But I don’t know what means Xue Tianqing used. The harder he used it, the tighter the rope was tied. Bajie finally had no choice but to give up and started a new round of cursing.
Shan said Xue Tianqing followed the woman through the two-story side hall and arrived at the other party's bedroom.
Looking at the luxurious yet elegant decoration, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, the woman smiled and said: "Brother, do you regret it? You can't regret it now, unless you eat me with all my bones."
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "I just regret why I didn't get to know you earlier."
The woman hugged Xue Tianqing's neck: "This is not honest. If you didn't follow Tang Sanzang here, I'm afraid you would have stayed together with your fellow apprentice nephew."
Xue Tianqing shook her head again: "That was Yang Jian who deliberately framed me. You don't even think about it. He has already been expelled from the school. How can there be anyone to send him off?"
Later, Xue Tianqing walked to the bed and sat down: "Now that I think about it, this journey is too worthless. Even if I have to be pressed under Wuzhi Mountain all the time, it is a thousand times better than following the old monk to eat and sleep in the open. It is really tiring. "
After saying that, Xue Tianqing lay down on the bed and fell asleep directly.
Xue Tianqing's move was beyond the woman's expectation. She called out "brother" softly several times, but when she saw no response from the other party, she turned around and closed the door and returned to the hall.
The woman first circled Bajie around her mouth twice, then raised her hand and slapped him twice: "If you dare to scold my brother again, I will cut out your tongue!"
Seeing that Bajie shut up, the woman came to Sanzang and said, "Are you Tang Sanzang? I thought you were a handsome young man, but you turned out to be an old monk. I really don't know if the meat is good or not."
When Bajie saw this, he said angrily: "Monsters, if you know the truth, let us go immediately. If the Bodhisattva knows that you are misbehaving here, you will definitely be sent to Avici Hell."
The woman laughed loudly after hearing this: "Bodhisattva, I really wish that Bodhisattva could stand in front of me so that I could ask her questions."
Although the woman was laughing loudly, the laughter contained more of a sarcastic tone.
After she stopped laughing, the woman said bitterly: "If the Bodhisattva really came here, I would like to ask where she was back then!" After speaking, she waved her sleeves and prepared to leave.
Seeing that the woman was about to leave, Sanzang asked anxiously: "You monster, what did you do to Wukong?"
"I just awakened my brother's true nature. He is mine from the beginning. He is not here to accompany me for the rest of his life, but I keep you going west. What's the point?"
The woman returned to the side hall and saw Xue Tianqing sleeping soundly, so she sat by the bed and waited for him to wake up.
After almost two hours, Xue Tianqing opened her eyes and smiled softly: "I still don't know what my sister's name is."
"Lin Miaoxue, brother used to call me Xue'er."
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this, and then said after a while: "If I want to leave, what will my sister do?"
Lin Miaoxue asked in confusion: "Why did my brother leave? Wouldn't it be better for you and me to stay together forever?"
Xue Tianqing said: "My sister just wants me to bring Tang Sanzang. Have you ever thought about staying with me for the rest of your life?"
Lin Miaoxue looked aggrieved: "I think it is true that my brother brought Tang Seng, but it is also true that I will stay with you for the rest of my life. I have been waiting for you for more than seven hundred years, do you really not remember anything? ?”
The development of the matter was somewhat beyond Xue Tianqing's expectations. He was silent for a long time before speaking again: "Why can't we find a blessed place in the cave and have to be trapped at the bottom of the quicksand river? If you live here for a long time, even a good person will go crazy."
Lin Miaoxue let out a long sigh: "Brother, do you think I don't want to? But if I leave the Crystal Palace, my soul will be gone and I will never be reincarnated."
Xue Tianqing asked puzzledly: "Why is that so?"
Lin Miaoxue's eyes suddenly turned red when she heard this: "After you left that day, I waited at the entrance of the village every day. Who would have thought that the person waiting for you in the end would not be you, but a huge disaster."
According to Lin Miaoxue, her people have lived by the Liusha River for generations and made a living by fishing.
Lin Miaoxue was a beautiful woman when she was a child, and when she grew up, she became a beautiful girl.
Because of this, no one from all over the country cared about him, and the matchmaker who went to propose marriage broke down the door of the He family.
Although the marriage proposals came one after another, no one could catch Lin Miaoxue's eyes.
At first, Lin's father didn't take it seriously, but as Lin Miaoxue got older, he began to worry. Finally, after Lin Miaoxue refused another marriage, she angrily asked her what kind of husband she wanted to find.
Who would have thought that Lin Miaoxue's words would surprise her father, because she had already made a private life-long commitment to Sima Yu in the village.
When Lin's father heard this, he immediately became furious because Sima Yu not only had no father or mother, but also had a poor family. How could such a person be worthy of his daughter!
Despite repeated persuasion, Lin Miaoxue was determined. In desperation, Lin's father could only summon Sima Yu and told him that if he wanted to marry Lin Miaoxue, he must give out a gift of a thousand taels of silver.
One thousand taels of silver was a huge sum of money for an ordinary person, let alone Sima Yu, who lived in poverty.
In the end, Sima Yu decided to go out and earn a betrothal gift before returning to his hometown to marry Lin Miaoxue.
Before leaving, Sima Yu told Lin Miaoxue that he would marry her gloriously in just two years.
Originally, Lin Miaoxue was also full of confidence in Sima Yu, but who would have thought that for three whole years, there was no news about him, and in the end she could only keep watch at the entrance of the village every day.
On this day, Lin Miaoxue was staring into the distance at the entrance of the village. She didn't want a group of bandits to happen to pass by. Seeing the fairy-like Lin Miaoxue, they kidnapped her without explanation and eventually humiliated her to death.
After Lin Miaoxue died, bandits took advantage of the night and threw the body into the Liusha River, which was still rich in river shrimp at that time.
Who would have thought that the moment the body was thrown into the river, the world suddenly changed.
Not only did the originally sparse night sky with moon and stars suddenly become covered with dark clouds and thunder and lightning, there were also constant lightning strikes from the sky to the ground.
Just when Lin Miaoxue's soul was about to leave her body, a thunderbolt fell from the sky, not only shattering her body, but also driving her soul into the current Crystal Palace.
From then on, Lin Miaoxue's soul was trapped here and never left Liusha River again.
After talking about the past, Lin Miaoxueyu, who was in tears, waved her hand, and a picture appeared out of thin air.
In the picture, who is the man waving goodbye to but Xue Tianqing?
"Brother, do you really not remember anything? Where did you go back then?"
Xue Tianqing didn't know how to answer, so she could only change the subject and said: "What are those wisps of fluorescence on the river?"
"Injustice souls, when the world changed greatly, more than tens of millions of people died as a result. Those souls, like me, were thrown into the river by thunder and could never leave again. As time goes by, the resentment of these souls becomes more and more serious. That’s what it is today.”
Xue Tianqing asked in confusion: "There are so many wronged souls, why doesn't the underworld come to collect them?"
Lin Miaoxue shook her head: "I don't know, these innocent souls have been here since I fell into the river. If I hadn't happened to fall into the Crystal Palace, I would be just like them."
"In the beginning, I was no different from these wronged souls. Who would have thought that later I accidentally discovered something in the Crystal Palace, which not only enabled me to understand the method of cultivation, but also allowed me to control the quicksand river water. What's more, I was able to re- He cultivated his physical body and became what he is today.”
Having said this, Lin Miaoxue took out a teacup-sized, dazzling bead from her sleeve: "That's it."
Xue Tianqing asked: "What is this?"
Lin Miaoxue shook her head: "I don't know either, I just know that it can control the quicksand river water."
Xue Tianqing wanted to take the bead and look at it carefully, but Lin Miaoxue put it into her sleeve again: "You can't look at it now."
"Why?"
Lin Miaoxue smiled softly: "This is my dowry. I can only give it to you after we get married."
