Chapter Forty-Eight: Little Leiyin Temple
Let's say that Tang Seng and his entourage, after leaving the city of the king of the sacrificial fortress, encountered another difficulty when passing by a thorny mountain.
Due to the unique conditions of this thorn ridge, many trees on the ridge have become fine.
Among them, there is a wooden fairy hermitage, in which there are eight "elegant" monsters, drinking wine and tea all day long, wind and snow.
They had already heard of the name of Tang Seng and his apprentice, so they laid a trap and arrested Tang Seng and his apprentice in the nunnery.
Among them, there is a female goblin, who is an apricot tree and a fairy who calls herself an apricot fairy.
Xingxian has a soft spot for Tang Seng and hopes that Tang Seng can stay.
She didn't use beauty or anything, but persuaded her verbally. However, Tang Seng was determined and persuaded Xingxian in turn.
After several days of contact and discussion of Zen, in the end, Xingxian and the others were finally moved by Tang Seng's remarks and let go of their master and apprentice.
As a result, just a few days after this tribulation, another calamity struck......
"Master, look, there seems to be a Zen temple in front of you!"
While walking, Zhu Bajie suddenly raised his hand and pointed into the distance.
Tang Seng put up a pergola and looked into the distance, indeed, he could faintly see the shadow of a pagoda.
After continuing to walk for a while, sure enough, a golden temple appeared in front of me.
Sun Wukong took a closer look and couldn't help but wonder: "Strange, why does this temple look a bit like Leiyin Temple?" β
"Leiyin Temple?"
As soon as he heard this word, Tang Seng was in high spirits.
Because, Leiyin Temple is the Dojo of Rulai, and it is also the destination of his westward journey to learn scriptures.
Before you know it, it's here?
"Great, it's finally here!"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng couldn't help but be pleasantly surprised.
"But ......" Sun Wukong said again: "If you want to say that this Leiyin Temple disciple has also been to it a few times, this temple is a bit similar, but this location is ...... Not quite right? β
"Senior brother, what you said was hundreds of years ago, and the surrounding environment must have changed."
Zhu Bajie said with an affirmative face.
"Yes, yes, is it wrong for senior brother?" Sha Seng also chimed in.
"No matter, let's go over and have a look."
So, the four masters and apprentices continued in the direction of the monastery.
When he got closer, Tang Seng took a closer look again, and in the golden light, there were faintly three words imprinted in his eyes: Leiyin Temple.
At this time, Tang Seng was even more excited, and immediately bowed down: "Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang, finally ......"
"Master, don't worship!"
Sun Wukong's face changed, and he hurriedly stopped.
Tang Seng frowned: "Wukong can't be rude, this is obviously Leiyin Temple." β
"Master, look at it again, there are three words in Leiyin Temple, but this temple is four words."
"Huh?"
Tang Seng was stunned, and then took a closer look...... Sure enough, he missed a "small" word.
The full name of this temple is: Little Leiyin Temple.
But even so, Tang Seng still said with a pious face: "Wukong, even if it is Xiaoleiyin Temple, it can't be made." The Buddha and the Bodhisattvas all have different dojos.
Perhaps, this is the ashram of the Buddha.
Monks should now meet the mountains and cross the mountains, meet the temple to worship the Buddha, go, and go in to worship with the teacher. β
"Alas, Shiro is happy......"
Zhu Bajie thought that he had arrived at Leiyin Temple, thinking that the matter of learning scriptures had finally come to an end, but he didn't expect it to be a small Leiyin Temple, so he was inevitably a little disappointed.
"Eight precepts, don't be rude!"
Tang Seng scolded.
"Yes, Master."
So, the master and apprentice walked slowly to the mountain gate.
At this time, Gu Ming happened to descend from the sky......
"Shangxian, you came just in time."
When Sun Wukong saw Gu Ming, he couldn't help but perk up, and hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Quickly persuade my master to ......."
Gu Ming whispered: "Wukong, this temple is indeed strange, but you also know your master's personality, he will never believe it if he doesn't see it with his own eyes......"
"It's also ......"
"Amitabha!"
Tang Seng also walked over and saluted Gu Ming.
"Elder Tang, don't come unharmed."
Gu Ming asked with a smile.
"Don't mention it, Master, he almost became someone else's son-in-law again."
Zhu Bajie didn't care about the wind, and said this.
The muscles on Tang Seng's face trembled, and he squinted at Zhu Bajie: "Bajie ......"
"Uh...... That, Senior Brother Sha, which Buddha's dojo do you think this will be? Could it be the Buddha? β
"Maybe, probably, probably, probably......"
While talking, the group walked into the mountain gate.
As soon as he entered the mountain gate, Tang Seng decided that this was the Buddha's dojo.
Because, in the square in front, there is a towering stupa, as well as a huge golden Buddha statue, at least dozens of meters high, the treasure is solemn, the Buddha light is overflowing, people dare not look up to it.
"Amitabha, disciple Xuanzang, see Buddha!"
Tang Seng subconsciously knelt down and bowed.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also knelt down to worship.
Sun Wukong looked around coldly, he had already sensed the demonic aura here.
Gu Ming doesn't know how to worship, not to mention that this is a fake Buddha, even if he really sees Rulai, the big deal is to come forward and bow his hand to show etiquette.
After bowing, continue up the steps.
When he came to the main hall, Tang Seng really saw the "Buddha".
In the hall, Rulai sits in the middle, and there are more than ten Arhats and the like on both sides.
Tang Seng hurriedly knelt down again to pay homage.
Above, if you see Sun Wukong and Gu Ming not kneeling, you can't help frowning and said, "When you see this seat, why don't you two kneel?" β
"Wukong, why don't you kneel down and see the Buddha soon?"
Tang Seng was so anxious that he drank it.
As a result, Sun Wukong said: "You are not a Buddha at all, why should my grandson kneel for you?" Besides, even if I see Rulai Lao'er, my grandson doesn't worship. β
"Goku...... The Buddha asks for forgiveness for his sins, and the disciple teaches no way......"
Tang Seng hurriedly pleaded guilty.
Gu Ming smiled and said, "Whether you are true or fake, you are not a disciple of the Buddhist family, why do you want to kneel?" β
"Bold!"
Then you can't help but shout angrily.
This guy is indeed a monster, calling himself "Yellow Eyebrow Ancestor", also known as the Yellow Eyebrow Monster, or the Yellow Eyebrow King.
If you want to say that his origin is also quite a background, it is a boy under the seat of Maitreya Buddha, the "Buddha from the East".
This guy took advantage of the Maitreya Buddha to go out to travel, stole three treasures and went down to earth privately, occupied the mountain as the king, and led a group of demons under his command, claiming to be the ancestor.
This time, when he heard that Tang Seng was about to pass by here, he used the demon method to change the cave into the appearance of Leiyin Temple.
However, this guy still kept a hand after all, and he didn't dare to name it Leiyin Temple directly, but added a small word in front of it.
In a word, his purpose is to catch Tang Seng and eat Tang Seng meat.
"Youkai, die!"
At this time, Sun Wukong had already used his fiery eyes to see the other party's true body, and immediately jumped and smashed it with a golden hoop stick......
"Goku ......"
Tang Seng exclaimed.
In fact, at this time, he vaguely understood in his heart that the Rulai in front of him might be really fake.
After all, he is not as pedantic as he used to be, and he can roughly see some signs that something is not quite right.
It's just that he is so devout to Rulai that he feels guilty at the slightest suspicion.
βGuang~β
Suddenly, a golden light flashed.
A huge golden cymbal opened and closed, locking the unprepared Monkey King in it.
"Goku ......"
Tang Seng exclaimed again.
"Hahaha!"
Seeing that Sun Wukong was successfully captured, the yellow-eyed monster couldn't help laughing.
What he fears the most is Sun Wukong, after all, Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace back then, leaving behind most legends.
Many monsters think that as long as Sun Wukong is taken, the remaining Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Seng will be the meat on the chopping board.
So, the yellow eyebrows stopped pretending to be a showdown.
A group of monsters have turned into their original forms.
At this time, Tang Seng finally understood: Sun Wukong was right, and he was fooled again.
"Children, go, grab Tang Seng and his party, turn around and steam, let's enjoy Tang Seng meat together."
"Yes, King!"
A group of little demons were excited.
If it weren't for Gu Ming here, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng would probably be lazy to fight back, they love to scratch and steam, anyway, they have experienced a lot of this matter, and they don't care about this more time.
The yellow-eyed monster was also too carried away to forget that there was another master here.
To be precise, I didn't guess at all......
"Great Mighty Heavenly Dragon, Punishment!"
Taking advantage of the other party's carelessness, Gu Ming shouted, jumped in shape, and swung his sword to slash at the yellow-eyed monster.
This sword, like a dragon shadow, is unstoppable.
The Yellow-Brow Monster didn't expect this mutation at all, and hurriedly swung his weapon to resist in panic.
"Bell~"
As a result, the weapon in his hand was cut in two, and the sword shadow continued to castrate, almost cutting it into two pieces.
If you are an ordinary person, it is definitely a life.
However, since this yellow-eyebrow monster dared to pretend to be Rulai, his cultivation was naturally extraordinary, and he immediately used magic to heal his injuries.
However, on the surface, it is healing, but the vitality has been greatly damaged......
In fact, Gu Ming's sword didn't expect to kill the Yellow Eyebrow Monster, its purpose was to severely damage this guy.
As long as this guy's vitality is greatly damaged, then he can take advantage of his weakness to forcibly cut off the connection between his magic weapons, and then take it for himself.
In the past, for these little monsters under the throne of the great gods, Gu Ming generally would not take the initiative to provoke, and even if he helped, he would generally not fight the idea of the magic weapon in their hands.
After all, these magic weapons were stolen from the great gods by these little demons.
But now it's different, he already has enough power to protect himself, even if it is Rulai and the Jade Emperor, he has to give him some face.
Besides, this time the Yellow Eyebrow Monster did go quite excessively, and even pretended to be the Buddha and transformed the Leiyin Temple, which is a bit too much.
Therefore, even if Gu Ming took the opportunity to take away a magic weapon, it would be difficult to ask Maitreya Buddha to get it back.
This guy has two magic weapons, a golden cymbal, and an acquired seed bag.
The golden cymbal is the one that trapped Sun Wukong, and even Sun Wukong was difficult to escape, which shows that its power is not small.
The acquired seed bag, which has the same function as the golden cymbal, is also used to collect people, but the capacity is larger.
Gu Ming didn't care either, as long as the golden cymbals were fine.
If he snatched both...... In that case, it will inevitably offend Maitreya Buddha completely.
There's no need for that.
Sure enough, as soon as the yellow-eyed monster was hit hard, the power of the golden cymbals immediately weakened, and Sun Wukong also took the opportunity to escape.
As soon as Sun Wukong appeared, Gu Ming immediately had an idea, forcibly cut off the connection between the Yellow Eyebrow Monster and the magic weapon, and received it in his carry-on package.
Now, even if Maitreya Buddha comes, don't expect to take this treasure back.
"Monster, eat my grandson!"
Sun Wukong was ashamed and angry, and once again brandished the golden hoop stick and wanted the life of the yellow-eyed monster.
However, the yellow-eyed monster is seriously injured, how dare he fight? He didn't dare to use another magic weapon easily, so he could only flee in a hurry.
This guy is very cunning and has set up a mechanism in the cave to facilitate escape in a critical moment.
Therefore, when the Monkey King's golden hoop stick fell, the yellow-eyed monster was gone.
In desperation, Sun Wukong and his entourage could only solve the little demons in the cave one by one.
"Wukong, ...... for the teacher"
After the little demon was solved one by one, Tang Seng walked up to Sun Wukong with a face of shame and wanted to explain a few words.
Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong waved his hand with an open-minded demeanor: "Master, don't say anything, the disciple understands Master." β
Indeed, although Tang Seng's personality has changed a lot, he is not as indiscriminate as before, and only acts on his own opinions.
But, this time is different.
This monster is too cunning and too bold to pretend to be the Buddha.
This also happened to hit Tang Seng's weakness, he was so reverent of Rulai that he didn't dare to be suspicious.
"Thanks to the Immortal this time, if he hadn't made a timely move, Senior Brother would have been in danger."
Zhu Bajie said with a happy face.
Then he remembered something, subconsciously looked around, and muttered: "But strange, why is the golden cymbal missing?" β
Sha Seng guessed: "Maybe it was taken away by that monster." β
Gu Ming didn't squeak.
It's better to pretend to be confused about this kind of thing.
"I don't know where the youkai fled to?"
Gu Ming took over at this time: "It's okay, he's seriously injured, and he can't escape far if he wants to, let's search around." β
Sun Wukong said: "This monster pretends to be Rulai Lao'er, it must have something to do with Rulai Lao'er, so I will go to Rulai to comment on it, and you will go to the monster first......"
"Goku ......"
Tang Seng wanted to say something, but Sun Wukong had already taken off and disappeared in a blink of an eye.
"That's it, let him go, let's go find the monster."
Gu Ming sighed, turned around and walked towards the cave mansion.
Next, according to the previous practice, Sha Seng stayed behind to take care of Tang Seng, Bailongma, and luggage, while Gu Ming and Zhu Bajie began to search for the whereabouts of the Yellow Eyebrow Monster.
As the saying goes, take advantage of his illness and ask for his life.
After searching for a long time, Gu Ming finally used his insight to lock on to the aura of the Yellow Eyebrow Monster.
This guy actually hid in a tiger **, and wanted to use the breath of an ordinary beast as a cover.
But he still couldn't hide Gu Ming's discernment, and he caught him right.
So, he and Zhu Bajie were bright and dark, and Zhu Bajie went to call the battle.
Zhu Bajie came to the tiger's den and roared in a deep voice: "Huangmei Lao'er, get out and die!" β
This roar startled the yellow-eyed monster and jumped up.
Is it finally chasing after you?
Even so, he had no choice but to fight hard.
So, he ran out of the pain......
"Monster, eat an old pig with palladium!"
As soon as he saw the yellow-eyed monster appear, Zhu Bajie picked up the nail palladium and smashed it.
However, the yellow-eyed monster had already been prepared, so the trick was repeated, and with a wave of his hand, he used the acquired human seed bag......
Zhu Bajie saw that he was about to succeed, but a huge suction force came, and the whole person was immediately uncontrollably included in the acquired seed bag......
"Hmph, it's not enough!"
The yellow-eyed monster snorted coldly, and at the same time watched around vigilantly.
After all, Sun Wukong and his party did not appear, how could he dare to take it lightly?
As he was watching, a huge ape figure suddenly appeared, picked up a huge fist and smashed it viciously......
The yellow-eyed monster was shocked, and subconsciously used the acquired seed bag again.
As a result, the giant ape was successfully received into the bag.
Before he could tie the bag tightly, a shout sounded in his ears: "Certain!" β
Gu Ming finally appeared.
The previous ape shadow was actually just a bait to distract the yellow-eyed monster.
That ape shadow was actually fake, and it was illusioned by Gu Ming's use of the skill "Divine Brush".
In the past, the stroke of genius could only draw some rocks, trees, and the like.
As Gu Ming's realm improved, his skill level also increased.
Now, the Stroke of God can draw living creatures and attack targets.
Although attacks don't have much effect and don't deal substantial damage to the target, they often do work wonders.
The biggest effect is to distract the target.
Just like just now, the Yellow Eyebrow Monster thought that someone had raided, so he naturally used his magic weapon.
Gu Ming also took advantage of this gap, and when the Yellow Eyebrow Monster had no time to use the magic weapon again, he performed the fixation technique and fixed it.
However, he knew that the strength of this yellow-eyed monster was not weak, and it would not last long, so he snatched away the acquired seed bag, and then took out his fingers like electricity, hitting more than ten points on the opponent's body in a row.
Now, this guy doesn't have a day, so he doesn't want to move.
"Damn, where did this guy get so many treasures?"
Zhu Bajie was released, grabbed the acquired seed bag, seemed to be angry, but in fact, he was greedy, and quietly put away the acquired seed bag.
Gu Ming didn't stop it, anyway, this guy would hand it over sooner or later......
