Chapter 199: The Old Turtle's Appeal

Tang Seng ignored Zhu Bajie and walked straight onto the old turtle's back.

The sand monk on the side looked at Tang Seng, and then at Zhu Bajie, and finally after thinking about it, he felt that Tang Seng's majesty was much stronger than Zhu Bajie, so he followed Tang Seng directly on the back of the old turtle.

Zhu Bajie stood in place and hesitated a little, after the last time he experienced the Heishui River incident, he had always felt that this kind of people who helped cross the river would throw them into the water halfway through.

After Tang Seng went up, he waited for a while, and found that Zhu Bajie was still standing still, Tang Seng immediately frowned and said in disgust: "Bajie hurry up, otherwise you look good." ”

Zhu Bajie heard Tang Seng's displeased, and then left all the thoughts in his mind behind, and went straight to the old turtle's back.

In Zhu Bajie's opinion, he would rather fall in the middle of the water than be beaten by Tang Seng.

Because Tang Seng's strength is so strong, so strong that he has some doubts about life.

A strong man like Tang Seng, who seems to only have a Xuan Immortal's cultivation, but can beat the Golden Immortal, really doesn't dare to provoke.

After Zhu Bajie got on the turtle's back, the old turtle said, "Holy monk, please stand up, it's time to set off." ”

Tang Seng nodded and said, "It's hard work, you can go, we have already stood firm." ”

When the old turtle heard this, he swam towards the surface of the water with his limbs fluttering.

Although the old turtle has a huge body and looks like a slow movement, his swimming ability is extremely powerful, and he just slid a little bit and flew out more than ten meters.

Tang Seng shook his head, and sighed a little about this ability, if he had this ability in his previous life, wouldn't the world-class swimming champion still be in his bag?

Thinking like this, Tang Seng suddenly smiled.

The memories of his previous life are still a little too profound, so much so that he has now cultivated to the realm of the 8th layer of Xuan Immortal, but he can't leave behind all the things in his previous life.

I always think that if the current cultivation was placed in the previous life, then what could I do?

Tang Seng knew very well in his heart that he could only go further on the road of cultivation if he left everything in his previous life and truly faced his cultivation, his Taoism, and his Dao in his current identity.

This is the cultivation of the state of mind.

The cultivation of the state of mind is much more important than the cultivation of oneself.

If the state of mind cultivation can't keep up, and its own strength has exceeded a certain limit, then it will only lead to going mad and becoming a devil who only knows bloodthirsty killing, without the slightest sense.

Moreover, such a person can only succeed at a low level after all, once he reaches the level of Da Luo Jin Immortal, a person who does not cultivate enough in this state of mind will eventually be eliminated.

After reaching the Da Luo Jin Immortal Realm, the person who cultivates to the same level in two people, but has a poor state of mind cultivation, will also suffer a great loss when fighting, and will even be killed by someone with enough state of mind cultivation in one blow.

It's like a child holding a sharp sword, but no matter how sharp it is, it can't compare to an adult with a broken stick.

Although there is a huge difference in the weapons, children cannot exert the true power of the sword, while adults can exert the true power of the broken stick.

Although Tang Seng knew very well that his state of mind was in urgent need of cultivation, he was not in a hurry at all.

Because the cultivation of the state of mind needs to go through the tempering of the world, and then gain some understanding, so that one's state of mind can be improved again.

This kind of improvement is not something that can be achieved overnight, and it is not possible to achieve real improvement with a utilitarian attitude.

This kind of can only use time to slowly boil up, to see how many things he has experienced, how many insights he has gained, and how high his understanding is on the way to cultivation.

For the improvement of state of mind cultivation, no one can help Tang Seng, only Tang Seng himself to cultivate.

However, Tang Seng has already felt it, although he has no way to completely abandon the various aspects of his previous life, but he is now working hard in this direction, and I believe that one day in the near future, he will be able to have a complete epiphany.

In the future, there will only be Tang Sanzang, a Tang monk who traveled to the west to learn scriptures, and there will be no Tang Sen in the city in his previous life.

Tang Seng thought that the old turtle had already slipped to the middle of the river.

The speed at which the river was eight hundred miles wide, and the speed at which it had slid four hundred miles in such a short period of time was truly terrifying.

After all, it doesn't fly, it swims.

At this moment, the old turtle suddenly spoke: "Holy monk, holy monk, where are you coming from and where are you going?"

Tang Seng secretly said in his heart: It's coming.

In the original Journey to the West book that I read in my previous life, there is a strong description of this old turtle.

For ordinary youkai, as a calamity on the westbound road, it will be fought and will never be mentioned again.

But this old turtle is different, he is not a difficulty on the westbound road, but a difficult one on the eastbound road.

It is recorded in the original book that when the old turtle carried Tang Seng and several people across the Tianhe River when he traveled west, he once entrusted Tang Seng to ask him in front of the Buddha how long he could live, whether he would die in the end, or whether he could fly into an immortal and enjoy the life of immortality.

But when Tang Seng met the Buddha, his heart was full of joy and excitement of getting the true scriptures, where was he in the mood to remember these trivial things.

Naturally, Tang Seng forgot to ask the Buddha.

Later, when Tang Seng and others got the true scriptures in the original work, they traveled all the way east.

Passing by the Tongtian River again, the old turtle had been waiting by the river for a long time.

Speaking of which, this old turtle is also very insidious.

He was very kind when he was on the shore, and directly invited Tang Seng's people to get on his turtle back and carry them across the river, without mentioning anything about lifespan.

And when he humped Tang Seng and the others to the middle of the river.

This old turtle, this scheming old turtle began to ask Tang Seng if he had helped him ask the Buddha about his future.

However, at that time, Tang Seng reacted, and he forgot about this matter.

Originally, if it was a different person and just make it up, this old turtle didn't know that things had been fooled like this.

But Tang Seng in the original book, three of the three of them are very strict about the rules and precepts.

So after Tang Seng thought about it, he decided to tell me directly what he forgot to ask.

Now it's a big deal.

This old turtle was not a kind-hearted monster in the first place, and the reason why he crossed the river with Tang Seng when he was carrying Tang Seng was to let Tang Seng's people ask him in front of the Buddha.

As a result, I knew that Tang Seng actually forgot to help him ask, which is amazing.

The scheming old turtle didn't say a word, and directly began to sink.

It doesn't matter if he sinks this time, but Tang Seng and the others can't swim, and with the true scriptures, everyone fell into the Tongtian River.

This river leads to the sky, but the weak water of 800 miles can't even float a feather.

Not to mention Tang Seng and his boxes full of scriptures.

Only when Sun Wukong saw that something was wrong and immediately flew into the air, which saved him from being sunk in the Tongtian River.

However, after Sun Wukong reacted, he hurriedly rescued Tang Seng's people, and then the four of them began to rescue the scriptures that were washed away by the water.

But the river is so turbulent, how can the scriptures fall into the river unharmed?

In the end, Tang Seng and several people only rescued more than half of them, and a small half of the scriptures had been washed away by the water, and they didn't know where they went.

Therefore, according to the legendary records, the true scriptures obtained by the Tang monks are not complete.

Instead, he lost a part of it in Tongtian River, which was really a pain for Tang Seng for a lifetime.
