However, to Tang Sanzang's surprise, as the three of Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice walked upstream along the quicksand river, they found a village - "quicksand village" within a few miles.

？！

Tang Sanzang's brows furrowed slightly, if it was based on his own memory, normally speaking, there were human beings in this sand monk's recipe, and it would not be an exaggeration to say that it was a big demon entrenched here, so it was basically extinct near the quicksand river.

However, before Tang Sanzang, who was puzzled, entered the village to learn about the situation, a strong man went straight to Tang Sanzang in the village, heading straight for Tang Sanzang.

"Mage, stay, stay!"

Immediately, Tang Sanzang turned over and dismounted, took the initiative to greet the strong man, and said. "Amitabha, this benefactor called the poor monk, but what's the matter?"

The strong man had thick eyebrows and big eyes, five big and three thick, with a bit of the simplicity of a crop man, panting and walking in front of Tang Sanzang, after seeing Tang Sanzang's appearance clearly, his eyes subconsciously lit up, and then he hurriedly returned the salute.

"This mage, I call Sha Ying, but I have a few words to tell you."

"Oh? What's the matter? Please also ask the donor for advice. Tang Sanzang smiled and asked gently.

"I wonder if the mage is planning to go west, so he stays on this shore?" Sha Ying asked.

"Exactly, the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and was about to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, but he encountered this quicksand river blocking the way, it was at a loss, but what method did the donor have to teach me?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"No, no." Sha Ying waved his hand and said without hesitation. "This quicksand river, if it has been handed down from my ancestors, it means that except for the gods in the sky, no one can get by, it has been hundreds of years."

After a pause, Sand Eagle pointed to the east.

"What I want to tell the master is not to think about crossing the river, where did you come from, then go back, let alone think about cutting wood to cross the river, this quicksand river is raging, turbulent waves, not to mention a small boat, even a huge ship or goose feathers can be instantly swept into the bottom of the river, it is very ......terrifying."

"And it's not every time you can meet the river god and save people, this is a lesson that has been passed down from quicksand village for hundreds of years, mages must not doubt it, lest they give their lives in vain."

Tang Sanzang's brows furrowed slightly, then he stretched out and asked gently. "The donor's kindness, the poor monk is very grateful, but what is the river god that the donor said just now?"

"Lord River God?!" Speaking of this name, the sand eagle's eyes brightened up a little, and he said with great admiration and adoration. "That's the river god of this quicksand river, he is an excellent good god, he has a lot of care for the quicksand village, and often rescues those who don't listen to the river crossing."

"So, in order to make the river god less careful, we villagers in Liusha Village often discourage those who cross the river, but unfortunately every year many people who do not heed the warning die at the bottom of the river."

"I see, the river god ......" Tang Sanzang subconsciously read this word.

And the sand eagle looked at Tang Sanzang thoughtfully, half-believing, and then spoke. "Mage, don't believe it, more importantly, every seven days, Lord River God will fight with the Sword Immortal, and there is no time to rescue the person who fell into the water, today is the day of the River God's Fight."

Then Sand Eagle didn't say much, and after a salute, he trotted all the way downstream, as if he was doing a routine patrol.

Looking at the back of the sand eagle leaving, Tang Sanzang no longer had the intention of entering the "quicksand village" to disturb the village, and turned to the monkey and asked. "Wukong, according to what the donor said just now, there is a river god in this quicksand river, can you confirm it?"

Hearing this, the monkey jumped to the edge of the quicksand river, and recited a "exorcism" formula of "seventy-two changes of earth", but this trick fell into the quicksand river like a stone sinking into the sea, without a single response.

"Master, what the mortal said is not credible, there is no river god in this quicksand river at all, otherwise as soon as this trick comes out, those land, river gods and the flow will inevitably come to visit and be sent."

"Brother Monkey, could it be that the river god happened to be not at home and went to fight with the so-called sword immortal, so it had no effect." Zhu Bajie's long mouth asked.

"Hey, idiot, then you can help Master find out the river god?" The monkey retorted.

In fact, for the "river god", Tang Sanzang was very suspicious that it was the sand monk, but the mortals along the coast couldn't tell the difference, so he mistakenly thought that the sand monk was the river god or something, and the monkey's suggestion made Tang Sanzang's eyes light up, and he turned to Zhu Bajie, who was saying cool words.

"Bajie, then I will bother you to go into the water and find the river god, if you find the river god, it will be of great help to cross the river."

"Yes, Master." Zhu Bajie often had the courage to quarrel with the monkey, but he didn't dare to refute the order of the respectable Tang Sanzang, and immediately obediently unloaded his luggage under the monkey's good show, and took the nine-toothed nail rake and planned to go into the water.

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly changed, dark clouds shrouded it, and a cold light descended from the sky and went straight to the quicksand river.

"Master, be careful!" Instinctively, whether it was a monkey or Zhu Bajie, they all protected Tang Sanzang's side, staring at the cold light that fell from the sky.

Fairy Sword!

There is no doubt that it is a fairy sword, and it is an extremely high-grade fairy sword with considerable spirituality.

It's just that what Tang Sanzang and the others didn't expect was that the immortal sword went straight to the center of the quicksand river in front of them, and instantly disappeared into the water.

Immediately, the waves of the quicksand river surged more than ten times in an instant, and there were bursts of roars and the sound of weapons colliding from the bottom of the river, as if someone was fighting against this fairy sword in the bottom of the river.

Tang Sanzang looked at the quicksand river like this, but he understood why the sand eagle would say that there was a fighting method between the river god and the sword immortal, and turned to the monkey and Zhu Bajie and asked. "What kind of fairy sword is that, do you know?"

The monkey shook his head, and Zhu Bajie pondered for a moment and said uncertainly. "Master, it's a bit like the flying sword used by Heaven to punish sinners, but this punishment is extremely rare, that is, the old pig I have been in Heaven for so long, and I have never witnessed the execution of this flying sword."

"Hmm!" Tang Sanzang nodded, pulled the monkey and Zhu Bajie and the others back a little, staring at the turbulent river surface like a natural disaster.

And the roar and the sound of weapons colliding lasted for a full hour or two before it gradually weakened, and what made Tang Sanzang's eyes widen in disbelief was that the sound of chanting gradually came from the bottom of the quicksand river.

"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......

“…… The relics are the empty phase of all the laws, neither born nor destroyed, neither dirty nor pure, neither increased nor decreased......"
