Chapter 143: Bone Demon Rebellion
In the following days, Tang Sanzang and his party once again regained their peaceful time on the road.
However, after the monkey got out of trouble from Wuzhi Mountain, he experienced a defeat in the hands of Zhen Yuanzi, and the whole monkey seemed much quieter than in the past, as if he had something on his mind.
Tang Sanzang wanted to enlighten the monkey, but he couldn't find any good time for a while, so he could only give up for the time being.
And Zhu Bajie doesn't know if it's because he ate a few more ginseng fruits, his mana has recovered a lot compared to the period of Marshal Tianpeng, and the whole pig seems to have swelled a little, giving Tang Sanzang the feeling, probably: "I feel like I'm doing it again." ”
Even when Zhu Bajie occasionally teased the monkey, his confidence seemed to be much more sufficient, and the monkey was a little depressed at this time, and he didn't have much mind to talk to Zhu Bajie, causing Zhu Bajie to feel that his status was gradually rising in the team.
I have to say that the ginseng fruit is indeed very useful, although Tang Sanzang eats it to moisten his throat and quench his thirst, but for Zhu Bajie, the effect is indeed quite large, that is, the side effects are somewhat obvious, causing this Zhu Bajie to be a little undersmoked.
As for the sand monk, he was as honest as ever, diligent, quiet, capable, hard-working, carrying the heaviest luggage in the team and saying the fewest words.
In the barren mountains and mountains, the countless peaks and the endless forests at a glance, between the turn of day and night, it is extremely easy for people to ignore the concept of time.
Walking and walking, unconsciously it has come to the cold winter, the sky is hazy all day long, and the snowflakes fall down, wrapping a layer of white single clothes for the boundless green forest sea.
Beauty~
In the memory of his previous life, Tang Sanzang had rarely seen the existence of snow, and even had the dream of rolling in the snowdrift when he was a child.
However, now Tang Sanzang, who is a human teacher, is not good at losing his temper in front of his disciples like this, and under the consideration of his image, he has to spread out with one hand, catch the wisps of falling snowflakes, and gently rub them with his palms, feeling the coolness in them.
The snowflakes are as usual, but they are no longer human!
Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel a little nostalgic in his heart at this moment, if it was in the past, he was in such a cold winter, he would inevitably be wrapped in several layers of cotton jackets, and the whole person would tremble.
But at this moment, even if the snowflakes are fluttering, with his own physique, he is just a thin plain white monk's robe on his body, and he can walk in the vast snowflakes at will.
Tang Sanzang inexplicably remembered a few words and chanted softly:
"Snowflakes fluttering~North wind Xiao Xiao~The world is vast~"
At this moment, an old exclamation sounded in front of him.
"Good sentences, good sentences, worthy of being the Tang Dynasty monk at the peak of poetry culture, touching the scene and feelings, he actually came up with such an artistic conception sentence, wonderful!"
As the words fell, I saw a dwarf land lord in cotton clothes come out from the front and respectfully saluted Tang Sanzang. Said. "The land of the White Tiger Ridge boundary has seen the holy monk."
And Tang Sanzang immediately turned over and dismounted, and returned the Buddha ceremony. "The poor monk Tang Sanzang has seen the land immortals."
As soon as these words came out, the land lord was really smiling, and his expression was like a spring breeze.
As the most humble among the first-class immortals, and his mana can only be regarded as an unpopular landlord, he really couldn't suppress his joy when he received such a courtesy from Tang Sanzang, the master of the rumored Monkey King.
"I don't know what happened to the arrival of the land immortals? Whether it is a disciple of the poor monk who inadvertently damaged the land, please make it clear, and the poor monk will immediately ask them to apologize to you. ”
Tang Sanzang said politely.
However, the land lord looked at the warning eyes of the monkey and Zhu Bajie, and subconsciously was cowardly.
Not to mention the Monkey King, it is Marshal Tianpeng, as an ordinary land lord, he can't afford to provoke him at all, even if the other party is at fault, the land lord will not dare to sue.
Immediately, the land lord said with a smile. "The holy monk laughed, the little god came this time to inform the holy monk of an important news."
"What's the news?" Tang Sanzang's gentle and compassionate expression paused slightly and asked.
"There are bone demons in the boundary of the White Tiger Ridge in front of them, setting off an army of skeletons, and it is very dangerous to go forward again, so the little god specially came to tell the holy monk that it is best to stay here temporarily, and after the heavenly court sends the heavenly soldiers and generals to exterminate the skeleton army, they will pass through the White Tiger Ridge again." The land lord explained simply.
"Army of Skeletons?!" Tang Sanzang's brows narrowed slightly, and he asked after a deep groan.
"Land Immortals, I don't know when the Heavenly Soldiers will come? How long will it take to wipe out the army of skeletons? ”
"The little god of this matter has been told to the immortals of the heavenly court not long ago, but one day in the sky, one year on the earth, plus the heavenly court needs to prepare for the mobilization of heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals, and it will take about two or three years to go down to earth, and wherever the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals go, some demon armies will be wiped out like a devastating and withering force." The land lord thought for a while, and said according to his usual experience.
Two or three years?!
Hearing the land lord say this time so lightly, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Maybe for the first-class immortals, two or three years is just a snap of a finger, but for mortals like themselves, two or three years is already a long time, if you work hard, maybe you will be able to reach the Western Heavens.
Afterwards, after a few polite words with Tang Sanzang, the land lord hurriedly left.
Tang Sanzang stood in place and thought for a moment, then turned his head to Zhu Bajie and asked. "Bajie, you used to be the marshal of the heavenly canopy, and you often have a mission to go down to the earth to exterminate the demons? And does it take so long? ”
Zhu Bajie was the clearest about this matter, recalled it, and replied. "Master, this kind of thing is indeed not uncommon, you must know that the total number of Heavenly Soldiers and Heavenly Generals in Heavenly Court can be more than one million, such a huge military force, naturally has their significance......
"And there are indeed demons in the mortal world that often gather to rise, in order to maintain the peace of the mortal world, it is necessary for the heavenly court to personally send heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to subdue demons and eliminate demons, such as when Brother Monkey was in Huaguo Mountain, it was the same."
Speaking of which, Zhu Bajie didn't forget to tease the monkey, and then said. "But Master doesn't need to worry, even if Brother Monkey gathered many demon kings back then, isn't it a heavenly soldier and heavenly general who is difficult to match Heavenly Court? The army of skeletons set off by a mere bone demon is nothing more than powder. ”
"Amitabha, the Eight Precepts, that's not what it means to be a teacher......" Tang Sanzang paused and asked. If it takes two or three years for the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals to dispatch mortal beings, then how much disaster will ordinary beings have to suffer? ”
This question can stop Zhu Bajie.
In the past, Zhu Bajie, as the commander of an army, just accepted military orders, led the invincible heavenly soldiers and generals to sweep away the demons, and enjoyed the joy of iron blood and victory, but he never cared about these.
