The steel knife was slashing at him. Sanzang closed his eyes and thought to himself: I don't regret dying. How can I go to see the King of Tang Dynasty under Jiuquan!
Who would have thought that after a long time, Sanzang didn't feel any discomfort. When he opened his eyes again, he found that the steel knife was shaking only half a foot away from his neck.
Looking up further, I saw that although the old man was holding the steel knife tightly, he was trembling all over and did not dare to go down another half inch.
After a long time, the old man turned around and said: "King, Madam, I have never killed anyone before, so I am a little scared."
Before the King of Bones could speak, the old woman on the side had already snatched the steel knife and cursed at the same time: "It's useless!"
After speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed Sanzang in the chest.
Just as the tip of the knife was about to pierce Sanzang's chest, a golden light suddenly appeared on his body, followed by a "click" followed by the old woman's scream.
When the old woman slowly fell to the ground, the demons realized that the steel knife in her hand had been broken, and the broken section just penetrated her chest.
Seeing this, the White Bone King stood up and walked up to Sanzang in a few steps. His hands were scattered all over his body like the wind, and finally he said with some frustration: "Madam, there is a restriction on Tang Sanzang. I think it must be Monkey King."
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Bones said: "So, what should we do?"
The Bone King rolled his eyes, and then sneered: "Come here, hang Tang Sanzang at the highest point of the cave door, and see if Sun Wukong can save him or not!"
Then he said to Mrs. Bones: "As long as you catch Sun Wukong and kill him, the restriction will be broken."
Mrs. Bones snorted when she heard this, then ignored the matter in front of her and walked towards the cave angrily.
Seeing this, Xue Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief: Hanging for two days is better than losing his life. We should really thank Guanyin Bodhisattva. If it weren't for her cassock, Master might not have survived.
However, after this incident, Xue Tianqing finally understood: real monsters would not be stupid enough to grab Tang Monk and leave him alone. They really wanted to eat Tang Monk's flesh!
Mrs. White Bones is still making do with it. If she encounters those who are careless and bites them directly, the consequences will be unimaginable! It seemed that the road to the west was far more difficult than I originally imagined.
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing couldn't help scratching her chin: Are there too few people for herself and Bajie?
After pondering for a moment, he couldn't help but look up into the distance.
Although he was hung at the entrance of the cave, Sanzang was very stubborn and did not make a sound from the beginning to the end.
Xue Tianqing nodded upon seeing this, and then prepared to leave the cave to think of another way to deal with the ice resentment.
But before he could take a step forward, he suddenly saw two ghosts coming from outside the cave. When they reached the old woman's body, they reached out and grabbed her soul, and then pulled her soul out.
Although the old woman's soul continued to struggle, the monster in the cave turned a blind eye and allowed the ghosts to take her away.
Arriving at a secluded place, one of the ghost servants opened the passage to the underworld and prepared to turn around.
But before he could take a step, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and then Xue Tianqing's smiling face appeared beside him.
"You two brothers have been working hard all the way. Do you want to take a short rest and then go back to resume your life?"
Seeing that it was Xue Tianqing, Gui Chao hurriedly raised his hands and said: "It turns out to be a noble man. I wonder what your orders are?"
Xue Tianqing was stunned: "Noble? Whose noble am I?"
"The noble man is joking. You have an irreversible friendship with Master Hei. Of course you are our noble man."
Only then did Xue Tianqing react: "The two eldest brothers were joking. That's because you are giving me face. But why are you two here on business today? Where are you, sir?"
Gui Cha smiled: "I don't know how many creatures in the three realms die every day. If adults take action, I guess he will be too busy to handle it. If you want two adults to take action, they must be big shots with earth-shattering status."
Xue Tianqing was stunned for a moment, but there was no strange look on her face: "I see, the two eldest brothers will take a break, and I'll ask the old woman a few words."
Gui almost nodded: "Your Majesty, please excuse me."
Xue Tianqing came to the old woman's soul and was about to speak, but she heard the ghost caller say: "Wait a minute."
I saw Guizhan forming a seal with one hand, and then a green light appeared from his fingertips.
As he pointed the green light into the old woman's forehead, a sound like killing a pig reached Xue Tianqing's ears.
Gui Cha sternly said: "Shut up, if you dare to speak out again, I will make you mute forever!"
Seeing that the old woman stopped making any sound, Gui Chai said: "I don't know, noble man, but people are most unwilling when they have just passed away, so they seal their mouths before taking their souls away from the body, so that their ears can be pure."
Xue Tianqing touched her chin, recalling the scene when she first met Black and White Wuchang, and almost burst into laughter.
Suddenly, something moved in his mind: "You two, what is the official position of Black and White Wuchang in the underworld?"
Gui Cha was surprised and said: "Don't you know, noble man? They are the marshals of the underworld's soldiers and horses, and their position is only under the Lord of Hell."
Although Xue Tianqing didn't say anything else, her heart was in turmoil: Two generals came to seize her soul, and even ghosts wouldn't believe it if there was no other reason!
Xue Tianqing smelled the soul and said to the old woman's soul: "Tell me, what is going on?"
Hearing this, the old woman knelt down in front of Xue Tianqing and said, "Exalted Immortal, please forgive me. Immortal, please forgive my life."
Xue Tianqing said impatiently: "Why spare your life? You are now a soul. Don't you know it?"
The old woman immediately realized: "Exalted Immortal, this was all forced upon me by the White Bone Heavenly King and his wife and my old man who had been stabbed a thousand times. It has nothing to do with me."
"The underworld will have its own fair judgment on what was right and wrong in life. First, tell us the truth about how you plotted against us and how many lives you took."
The old woman nodded quickly and then told all the past.
The old woman and the old man are nearly two hundred years old now. The reason why they have lived for such a long time is all because of the help of the White Bone King.
Originally, the two of them were just ordinary people, living in the small courtyard where Xue Tianqing had been.
When they were young, they also had children, but unfortunately, they all died before them in the end.
The family happiness did not come as expected, but the white-haired man sent the black-haired man several times in succession, which caused earth-shaking changes in the mentality of the two of them, and they even had the intention of committing suicide.
Who would have thought that one night, a dark wind blew, and the Bone King fell from the sky.
Although they knew that the other party was a monster, the old couple were not afraid, but looked forward to it: as long as they could give them pleasure, dying at the hands of a monster would not be bad.
What the two of them didn't expect was that instead of taking their lives, the White Bone King would grant them the art of immortality.
Although the two of them didn't know much, they were not stupid. They knew that there must be conditions for the White Bone King's move.
Sure enough, the White Bone King took out a special long incense stick and told them to pay attention to the passing monks.
If a monk passes by, let him stay at home for the night and light incense.
Finally, the White Bone King left two pills and drifted away, returning to White Bone Peak to wait for news.
After that, the couple began to pay attention to pedestrians on the road. As long as a monk passed by, they tried their best to let him stay at home and light incense candles.
In more than a hundred years, the couple had never counted how many monks had been captured in White Bone Peak. They only knew that they were the monks who were captured and never left.
However, apart from monks, the Bone King has no interest in anyone else, so ordinary people have not been affected.
Over the years, the White Bone Cave not only sent firewood, rice, oil and salt from time to time, but the White Bone Heavenly King also gave the two of them a pill every year.
Since taking the elixir, not only have the two stopped aging, but their health has also begun to get better and better.
Although he looks like an old man, his body's flexibility is far inferior to that of a young man. If not, they wouldn't have been able to take down Sanzang easily.
Not long ago, Mrs. Bones, who had never been seen before, arrived here in person.
She told the two of them that as long as they caught Tang Sanzang who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, not only would they no longer have to wait here, but they could also go back to White Bone Peak with her to practice magic and become a couple of gods and immortals.
Because the pills the two of them are taking now can only protect them from death, but Tang Monk's meat can make them immortal.
After hearing this, the two became even more enthusiastic! Not to mention monks, even bald people and those with thin hair will find ways to introduce it into their homes and light incense.
As a result, in just half a year, no less than a hundred monks were arrested and taken to the Bone Cave.
This morning, they were also waiting by the road.
Unexpectedly, the weather changed suddenly soon, and then heavy snow fell. The two had no choice but to turn around.
Who would have thought that just as the couple left, Sanzang and his entourage arrived.
If the master and the apprentice had ignored the wind and snow and kept moving forward, this disaster would not have happened.
I wonder if it was God's will. Not only did Sanzang dismount his horse to avoid the wind and snow, but Xue Tianqing also accidentally discovered their small courtyard, and that's what happened next.
When the group of people came to the entrance of the small courtyard, they saw monk Youdao among them, and Bajie was still carrying weapons. Therefore, the two were a little unsure of their identities and did not light the incense immediately.
When he didn't want to talk, Sanzang took the initiative to talk about his origins, which made the old man overjoyed.
He wanted to light the incense immediately, but because Xue Tianqing and Bajie were nearby, he never got around to it.
Just when the old man was trying to find an excuse to leave, Sanzang asked why the house was so shabby.
However, Xue Tianqing easily gave the small courtyard a new look, which shocked the old man even more. He realized that these people were not comparable to the original monks.
But in the end, the old man was still in a hurry and sent Xue Tianqing away on the grounds that his son and daughter-in-law were missing, so that he had time to light the incense.
Then the Bone Heavenly King and his wife arrived hand in hand and captured Sanzang and Bajie into the Bone Cave.
After hearing what happened, Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "Do you know the origin of that monster?"
The old woman shook her head and said: "Although the villain has lived like crazy for two hundred years, he has no moral character. I don't know what made him become a spirit."
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment, then asked Gui Cha: "Brothers, do you know where the White Bone Peak is and why there are so many white bones on the peak, most of which I can't even name."
Guizhao, who had just spoken to Xue Tianqing, sighed: "It's not surprising that the noble man came late. The White Bone Peak was originally the last tree in the world, and it was also the last battlefield of the Lich War. Those bones were all from that year." Heroic spirits who died in battle.”
Xue Tianqing was stunned when he heard this: "Jianmu? Is there really a Jianmu in the world?"
After returning from Dongsheng Shenzhou, Bajie once mentioned building a tree to Xue Tianqing.
But because there was a reason for the incident at the time, Xue Tianqing thought it was a lie about ginseng fruit essence, so she didn't take it to heart.
Now that I heard this name from Guizhan again, I realized that there are real trees in the world.
