Chapter Seventy-Three: Quicksand River, Sand Monk
Quicksand River, Sand Monk!
After this difficulty, Tang Seng Tianding's team of three apprentices and one horse was completely perfect, and it was completely possible to open the Black Journey to the West.
However, thinking of Monk Sha, Tang Seng frowned slightly, because he remembered a saying in his previous life.
It is said that in the original work, Tang Seng was reincarnated ten times, and then he became Tang Seng, and in the nine lives before him, they were all monks, and they all embarked on the road to the west.
But those previous lives were all mortal wonches in the flesh, and without the protection of his apprentice Sun Wukong, and without the escort of the gods and Buddhas, they lost their lives every time they walked to the quicksand river.
The necklace of nine skulls hanging around the neck of Monk Nasha is the former ninth generation of Tang Seng.
Because this sand monk is a water monster, he specializes in eating passers-by, and he is a real evil monster.
Even if he was a Celestial Shutter General in the Heavenly Court, he couldn't change the fact that he had become a man-eating water monster.
In this case, Tang Seng and his enmity can be said to be incompatible!
In the original work, Guanyin Bodhisattva came forward and asked Monk Sha to take off the skeleton around his neck and turn it into a boat, helping Tang Seng to cross the quicksand river, and using this method to resolve the grudge.
Tang Seng in the original book is just a mortal, who can be kneaded by others, but now Tang Seng is a traverser and has the strength of Tough Guanyin, so it is completely impossible to understand the grudge so easily.
When the time comes, no matter how you say it, you have to get a little benefit before you can allow Monk Sha to enter the team.
Thinking like this, Tang Seng ordered Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie to speed up and go straight towards the quicksand river.
Two days later, in the early morning, Tang Seng and others finished eating the food bought by Sun Wukong, Tang Seng touched his stomach with satisfaction, and then said: "Wukong, for the teacher just eaten, sleep for a while, you go ahead to explore the way, see where we are?"
Sun Wukong nodded, slapped Zhu Bajie, and said, "Idiot, pack up your things and wait for Master to sleep peacefully!"
Zhu Bajie nodded aggrievedly, and could only get up and start packing up, while Sun Wukong stepped on the clouds and flew towards the west.
"Come on, Bajie, take care of you for the teacher!" Tang Seng said with satisfaction, then lay down on the rattan chair, closed his eyes and began to take a nap.
This rattan chair was made by Xiong Da in the Chaos Pearl World, specially used to please Tang Seng, and this rattan chair was used by Xiong Da to cast a formation, which can make the people lying on it quickly enter a state of sleep.
Tang Seng liked this gift very much, and set aside a large area, so that Han Qi was not allowed to go in and bully Xiong Da, so he accepted this gift, and took it out from time to time to sleep for a while, which can be said to be very comfortable.
After a while, when Tang Seng woke up, the sun was already in the west, Sun Wukong leaned on the trunk of the tree, was pretending to sleep, heard the sound of Tang Seng getting up, immediately opened his eyes, jumped off the tree, and said, "Master, are you awake?"
As he spoke, Sun Wukong slapped Zhu Bajie's head on the side and fell asleep, and scolded: "Idiot, are you still sleeping? Master is awake, you are still sleeping here, why are you like a pig?"
Zhu Bajie sat up in a daze, covered his head, and said with an aggrieved face: "Brother Monkey, if you hit me on the head again, you will be stupid! Also, I was originally a pig." ”
When Sun Wukong heard that Zhu Bajie dared to refute, his eyes widened, and he was so frightened that Zhu Bajie hurriedly got up and ran behind Tang Seng.
"Okay Wukong, don't make trouble, tell me, where have we been?" Tang Seng shook his head and asked.
Hearing Tang Seng's question, Sun Wukong gave up the idea of continuing to teach Zhu Bajie and said: "Master, twenty miles ahead, there is an extremely wide river, this river is eight hundred miles wide, there are no boats and bridges around, and this river is full of mud and sand, and the water flow is extremely turbulent, like half of the water and sand flowing together, if we don't use mana, it may be difficult to cross this river!"
Hearing this, Tang Seng's eyes lit up and asked, "Wukong, have you seen the name of that river?"
800 quicksand boundaries, 3,000 weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom, which is the original record of the quicksand river.
Sun Wukong was slightly stunned, and then said in surprise: "Master, how did you know that this river is called the Quicksand River?"
Tang Seng shook his head and didn't explain, but he was a little excited in his heart, he finally arrived at the quicksand river, and he was about to enter the plot of the sand monk, which was really good.
The two days of rushing are really boring, and now that I have finally walked to the quicksand river, the peaceful life is about to be a little interesting!
"In that case, let's not waste time, hurry up and get on the road!" Tang Seng stood up, put away the rattan chair, and then said.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie didn't dare to hesitate when they heard this, one led the horse, and the other carried the burden, and quickly hit the road.
The group of people are all cultivated, so the twenty miles of land are quickly completed.
Tang Seng got off the white dragon horse, looked at the incomparably wide river in front of him, and suddenly a heroic feeling arose in his heart, and an idea of wanting to conquer this river slowly arose.
After taking two steps forward, Tang Seng saw a broken boundary monument, which read: Liusha River, three big characters, and behind this monument, the poem was recorded: Eight hundred quicksand boundaries, three thousand weak water depths. The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom.
"Yes, in the previous world, I had never seen such a magnificent river of quicksand, it was simply a spectacle!" Tang Seng opened his arms and sighed.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie glanced at each other, and they had long been accustomed to whether Tang Seng said something they didn't understand.
After watching the wonders of the quicksand river for a while, Tang Seng calmed down and groaned slightly, then he thought: This sand monk is in this quicksand river, according to the original record, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk fought at the bottom of this quicksand river, Zhu Bajie is only slightly better, it is very likely that this sand monk's cultivation lies in the peak of Xuanxian or the early stage of Jinxian.
At this time, Tang Seng had already begun to plan how many merit points he could get from Monk Sha, because Zhu Bajie had proved that even if he was a member of the scripture learning group, he could get the corresponding merit points by defeating him before returning to obedience.
Now Tang Seng is extremely hopeful that this Sha monk is a golden immortal in the early stage, because after the golden immortal is defeated, he will give 10,000 merit points!
But a difficult question is in front of Tang Seng, he doesn't know water, what should he do to seduce Monk Sha out of the water?
At this moment, there was a churning of water in the middle of the quicksand river, and a red-haired savage rose from the water, and this savage had nine skulls hanging from his neck.
