Chapter 103: Eight Hundred Quicksand Realm
Tang Sanzang remembered that night, he pulled Ao Yu to a corner with a serious face and concealed from the monkey and Zhu Bajie, and even for fear of causing a misunderstanding, he just communicated with Ao Yu in his mind and asked.
"How long have you been doing this?"
"It's from that day that I was united with the holy monk's brother...... After the fusion, it only appeared once in a while, and it has become more and more serious recently. Ao Yu said without the slightest concealment.
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang put one hand on Ao Yu's shoulder, felt it carefully, and indeed found that the "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon Seed" seemed to have undergone some changes, and it felt like he had entered a new stage.
"Is this the problem?" Tang Sanzang thought so, and looked at Ao Yu's extremely uncomfortable appearance, even with tears in her eyes, but she also felt a little heartache for her.
Therefore, Tang Sanzang, who was helpless, had no choice but to take advantage of the fact that the monkey and Zhu Bajie did not notice, and quietly helped her scratch according to the position Ao Yu said.
According to what Ao Yu said, somehow, when Tang Sanzang put his hand up, the itch quickly retreated, and instead there was a feeling of ecstasy and comfort.
Since then, whenever Ao Yu has an uncomfortable back, he has to ask Tang Sanzang to relieve it.
And Tang Sanzang probably guessed that this was his own responsibility, and Ao Yu's pitiful appearance was really impossible to refuse, so Tang Sanzang could only do what Ao Yu wanted.
At the same time, in order to avoid the misunderstanding between the monkey and Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang slowly and completely got used to the direct communication with Ao Yu in his mind, and even after he became completely proficient, Tang Sanzang was able to condense his own image in his mind for dialogue like Ao Yu.
"Bang la la~~~"
Suddenly, Tang Sanzang, who was emptying himself and meditating the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" in his heart, was summoned to his senses by the sound of a stream of water.
Just listening to this turbulent and continuous sound, Tang Sanzang could feel that there would be a river ahead.
Immediately, with Ao Yu speeding up, Tang Sanzang crossed a mountain in less than a moment, and then everything in front of him suddenly turned white.
It's not fog, but when you look at it, it's all wide and I don't know how to geometry, and the water surface is endless, the water is raging, and the waves are turbulent, and it's dangerous and terrifying, even if Tang Sanzang once remembered the sea in the storm.
And the water surface in front of me, as far as the eye can see, is that there is no wind and waves, and it is like this everywhere.
With just a glance, Tang Sanzang understood that this kind of natural danger was by no means something that ordinary humans could pass through, it was like a jade belt on the earth, dividing this shore and the other side into two completely different worlds.
As Tang Sanzang and the others approached the river where they couldn't see the edge, they saw a stone tablet standing on the bank:
"Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths."
"The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink to the bottom."
"Quicksand River, it turns out that it's here!" Tang Sanzang looked at the handwriting on it carefully, and said secretly in his heart. "That's where the sand monk Sha is?"
And Zhu Bajie on the side said disapprehantly. "This Fanhe mouth is not small, I knew that the old pig also set up such a stone monument in Tianhe, and it also looks majestic."
"Hey, idiot, don't talk big, it's better to think about how to let Master cross this eight-hundred-mile-wide quicksand river." The monkey's fiery eyes blinked slightly, but it confirmed that this stone tablet was not nonsense, and the quicksand river at this dangerous time was indeed eight hundred miles wide.
"This is not simple, the master is standing on top of the white dragon just like in Gao Laozhuang, and the white dragon will pass in a few leaps, no matter how powerful this quicksand river is, is it possible that he can still rise to the sky and roll the white dragon down?" Zhu Bajie said disapprerovingly.
"That's a good idea......" the monkey scratched his cheek, thinking that it was somewhat feasible.
"It's not appropriate, it's not ......", it's just that how could Tang Sanzang agree with this plan.
Since the last time he entered the "Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon State", Tang Sanzang knew that unless he relied on his own strength to step into the air, even if he stood on top of Ao Yu's head, he would have a strong reaction similar to fear of heights.
As a master, Tang Sanzang didn't want to lose face in front of the monkey and Zhu Bajie, this kind of cowardly and incompetent performance, Tang Sanzang was absolutely no longer willing to expose it to them.
What's more, after the catastrophe of "Huangfengling", Tang Sanzang understood that it was meaningless for him to simply cross the node of the quicksand river, and the main thing was to go through the tribulation.
The key point of the last tribulation is the Yellow Wind King, so the key point of this tribulation is probably the sand monk, if the problem of the sand monk is not solved, even if Tang Sanzang crosses the quicksand river, it is meaningless.
Merely......
Tang Sanzang looked at the surging waves, wave after wave rolling towards the quicksand river on the shore, but he didn't see the appearance of the sand monk.
If Tang Sanzang remembered correctly, he should have come out on his own.
However, the monkey didn't quite understand the complicated thoughts in Tang Sanzang's heart, and asked. "Master, what's wrong with that little female dragon carrying you over?"
"Amitabha, good, good......" Tang Sanzang clasped his palms together and bowed his head slightly to the west. The poor monk promised that the Guanyin monk would go step by step to the West Heaven Da Lei Yin Temple to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, how could he cross the 800-mile quicksand river in the air? ”
After a pause, Tang Sanzang turned to the monkey and Zhu Bajie, and said earnestly. "If today's mind as a teacher is relaxed, and he flies over the eight-hundred-mile quicksand river in the sky, and he encounters a mountain range in the future, won't he have to travel in the sky again?"
"Amitabha, Wukong, Bajie, Er, etc., whether it is the mountain range, or the quicksand river, they are like life problems, since they appear, then climb over and swim over, rather than escaping the past like a trick."
"Disciple understands!" Hearing this, the monkey and Zhu Bajie nodded and said in Tang Sanzang's voice that seemed to contain Zen.
"It's just Master, not to mention that this quicksand river is terrifyingly turbulent, and more importantly, it is eight hundred miles wide, even if Master's physique is far beyond that of mortals, it is not easy to swim through." The monkey did not forget to remind.
"This matter ......" Tang Sanzang glanced at the sand monk who still hadn't risen in the quicksand river, and said instead. Swimming 800 miles, being a teacher is not a monster, this kind of thing is still just, this matter still needs to be thought of by a good student, Wukong, Bajie to find out if there is a boat or something like that, or to open a way in this quicksand river. ”
Immediately, Tang Sanzang did not stay on the shore to wait for the rabbit, or the meaning of looking for a sand monk like he did in the Eagle Sorrow Stream at that time to throw a bowl to lure the monkey down to find the little white dragon.
This is a quicksand river that is 800 miles wide and not many miles long, and it is not a waterhole like the Eagle Sorrow Stream in the Snake Pan Mountain, and the probability of taking the initiative to find the sand monk is no less than looking for a needle in a haystack.
