Chapter 005: White Bones Become Essence
Further inside, the wind was gusting, and the trees were withered, and not even a single living insect could be found. The spirit bead kept moving, and I also felt cold.
Sun Wukong also sensed that something was wrong, and called the land god, only to know that this place was called White Bone Ridge. There is a ghost living on it, who has been hovering over this mountain for five hundred years, called the "White Bone Spirit".
Speaking of the experience of the white bone spirit, it is actually a very old-fashioned story, which is roughly the same as the legend of many immortals intermarrying.
Five hundred years ago, Sun Wukong made trouble in the heavenly palace, tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers were arrested in the lower realm, a heavenly soldier did not return to heaven on time, and became a relative to Bai Gu in the mortal world, the two fell in love with each other for ten years, and the Jade Emperor learned that he recalled the heavenly soldiers, and after punishment, he was ordered not to meet with his mortal wife. The white bone hated the Emperor of Heaven ruthlessly, and seeing that the wait was far away, he finally became sad and desperate, and jumped off the cliff to die for his love.
For five hundred years, her body has long been turned into white bones, but her soul is in love with this life, unwilling to be reincarnated and reincarnated, and cultivated into a powerful ghost, even so, she is still very amorous, waiting for the time when the husband and wife of the heavenly soldiers meet, in order not to frighten Lang Jun with her white bone appearance, she sucks the flesh and blood of living beings to maintain a short period of beauty.
said that when Sun Wukong heard such an unjust soul, he frowned, Tang monk meat can be "immortal", if the unjust soul eats him, he can have flesh and blood and restore his beautiful appearance, how can she let it go?
Lingzhu quietly told me not to approach this kind of lonely soul and wild ghost, because the bad luck will cause the spirit stone to produce impurities.
We had to be careful. After walking for an hour, there was a sudden intermittent burst of singing, and I could not tell whether it was singing or more like crying.
A young woman came to us from the bushes, carrying a basket in one hand and a red flower in the other, and smiled at us in the shade. My first feeling was that this woman was so white, so white, and her face was smeared with thick red powder to hide this miserable whiteness, and she looked like a Japanese geisha.
She stood five feet away from us, smiled and asked, "Where are the elders?"
Tang Seng didn't speak, Zhu Bajie greeted him with a smile, "Where is the little lady going?" We want to climb over this mountain, but we don't know how far the road ahead is. ”
The woman smiled and said, "It's still far away, the elders are in a hurry, it's better to stop and rest, I have some food here to enjoy with you." ”
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was so happy that he danced hand and foot, I don't know whether it was good to look at the little lady or to eat, "Master, get off the horse quickly, there is a meal to eat." He finally remembered his master.
In this kung fu, I saw that Sun Wukong had been shining at her with fiery eyes, "Bajie, go away!" He suddenly jumped up and hit the woman with a stick.
The woman was startled, jumped backwards, and jumped a few feet away.
"Ouch, master, I think the senior brother is crazy, crazy, and now he sees beautiful women are monsters. Zhu Bajie snorted.
"Master, be careful, this woman is a white skeleton, I think she is here to confuse the master. Sun Wukong said to Tang Seng.
Zhu Bajie looked at the woman for a long time, "A white bone can be so good-looking? I think you just fight monsters to make up the numbers, grab the first skill, and if you want to fight monsters, you can't ignore people's lives." ”
Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, picked up the stick and swung it at the woman again, "Let me show you the original form." She was so frightened that she took a few steps back, threw the basket in her hand, and dodged in all directions.
"Wukong, stop. Tang Seng shouted, and then said to the woman gently: "Female donor, we are busy on the road, if you are a human, leave quickly, if you are a ghost, go to reincarnation as soon as possible, my apprentice's golden hoop stick is not long-eyed, and it will beat you to the soul." It turned out that he also saw that the rice basket that the woman threw in a panic contained a pile of stones.
The woman was stunned for a moment, and suddenly lifted the surface of her face, it turned out to be a human skin, she laughed, and ghostly laughter echoed throughout the mountain, "Sun Wukong really deserves his name." That's right, I am indeed a white bone, I have been wandering here for five hundred years, there is a maze everywhere, it is not so easy to get out, you still obediently leave Tang Seng, I can let others go west. ”
"It's up to you. Sun Wukong swung his bat.
The white bone spirit flickered and disappeared, only to hear an empty voice echoing in the valley, "Enjoy the rest of your time, Tang Seng, and come to take your life when people are sleepy and tired." ”
Sun Wukong jumped into the air and looked at it from afar, where was the shadow of the white bone spirit.
"Hehe, Brother Monkey, or you have the ability, I'll just say it, Brother Monkey can see the monster, Brother Monkey, do you want to rest for a while?" Zhu Bajie followed behind to condole.
"Go, go, you can close your big mouth and accumulate virtue. "Sun Wukong hates it when he thinks about it.
I can't care about the coercion of the white bone spirit, it is important to hurry, but the next road is indeed as the white bone spirit said, there is a lot of confusion, and walking is a dead end.
This direction is obviously facing west, but it can't get through in the mountains, and in the end, a steep wall is in front of you.
Sun Wukong slammed the golden hoop stick straight towards the steep wall, with a loud "boom", the mountain shook and bounced back, Zhu Bajie used a nine-tooth nail rake to slash hard, but the mountain smashed a big hole.
The later it gets, the more unsettling it is, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng are so irritable that they keep probing in the clouds, but unfortunately Tang Seng is a mortal, he can only walk down-to-earth, and he can't find a way out, so he can only be trapped here.
Several people were busy, and they were all so tired that they sat on the ground.
The sky was hazy and dark, and it was very eerie and terrifying on the White Bone Ridge in the ordinary evening, not a single animal could be seen, most of the trees were withered, and those who barely survived could not see a little life, no birds, no insects, and the silence was terrible!
There was a cold wind blowing in the valley, like a cold hand wrapped all over my body, I couldn't help but shiver, I didn't expect that the first monster I encountered after being reborn turned out to be a terrifying white bone spirit!
Just after being quiet for a while, I suddenly saw the white dragon horse raising my front hooves, a neigh, before I could come back to my senses, Sun Wukong also raised the golden hoop stick towards me: "Monster, where to escape." ”
I hurriedly turned around, and a skull was close at hand, with holes as big as light bulbs, and I screamed in fear. The white dragon horse galloped over, and at the same time, Sun Wukong's golden hoop stick also fell, and the monster flickered, followed by a piercing laugh, and disappeared without a trace.
Soon, everything was quiet again.
The master began to meditate on the ground and recite the Heart Sutra.
Lingshi whispered to me, "All roads are connected, there must be wind, you go to this steep wall and walk in front of it, see if there is any wind between the gaps of these layers of dead trees, if there is, there will be a road behind." ”
So I walked to the pile of trees and weeds under the steep wall, and began to grope a little bit, to explore, to see where I could feel the wind.
