Chapter 48: Clues

Hui'an walker confirmed his identity in front of the gate, entered the hall, and performed a Buddhist salute to Guanyin, who was meditating with his eyes closed on the lotus throne: "Disturbing the Bodhisattva's meditation, the disciple has just received news from the heavenly court, and the attack on Xuanzang ended in failure, this is the prism record they provided." ”

"Expected." Guanyin said as he entered the prism record directly into his subbrain, "With their inefficient immortal structure and forward-looking style, it is difficult to deal with the methods of the anti-thieves. Heavenly Court always relied on external objects, but rarely paid attention to itself. Of course, you have to do the important things yourself. ”

Hui'an Walker nodded yes.

A moment later, Guanyin had read all the records, and with a wave of her hand, several lotus petals on the throne projected several images, showing a huge fleshy monster, a sinister and swift white branched mimic creature, and a phantom-like pale figure. "They only thought about attacking Xuanzang, but they didn't pay attention to this new type of creature?" She asked.

Heavenly Court didn't say anything. The disciple also deliberately inquired about its ownership, and found that there was no relevant research project, so he first acted arrogantly and put it under the jurisdiction of the Great Leiyin Temple. If the bodhisattva wishes to, the relevant permissions can be accessed at any time. ”

"Oh? The Jade Halal King didn't take the lead? ”

"It seems that only the additional requirement for oversampling has been posted. Due to the failure of the operation, this side mission was also cancelled, and he did not react to it specifically. ”

Guanyin smiled and said, "It seems that he can't take a fancy to it." In his eyes, it was just another mutated creature parasitic on corpses, and his precious viruses were a hundred times stronger than that. But he didn't notice. Beneath the ordinary manifestations of this creature, there are many interesting abilities hidden.

"Many immortals have lost their curiosity about mortal things, believing that the advanced creations in their hands are superior. As everyone knows, this is the reason why they can't break through the existing realm. Muzha, although you were originally a person from the heavenly court, and you worship under my door, don't be tainted with their pedantic habits. ”

"Remember the teachings of the Bodhisattva." After Hui'an Xingshi finished speaking, he showed regret again, "It's a pity that it has followed Xuanzang and can't be captured for the time being." The disciples only found some of the remaining cells in the White Tiger Ridge Shelter. It has lost most of its activity and cannot show its original traits. ”

"It doesn't matter." Guanyin said indifferently, "But Xuanzang really doesn't refuse to come." So many people from all walks of life gathered around. Isn't he afraid of trouble? I thought he was a cautious person, but now it seems that he is a little too reckless. ”

After she finished speaking, Hui'an Xing said again: "There is one more thing. Heavenly Court simulated the consciousness of the canopy in the Snake Mountain. and succeeded in obtaining the memories of his new life after he descended to earth. Results should be forthcoming. Bodhisattva, since we have Xuanzang's soul characteristic parameters in our hands, why don't we take the same action? ”

Guanyin shook his head and said, "Muzha, you have been converted to Buddhism for many years, how can you still be so competitive. Heavenly Court takes action against the canopy, that's their business, do you want to be faster with them or what? Xuanzang and Tiancang are different. He is the core of this gang of thieves, and it is much more difficult to sneak up on him than it is to sneak up on the canopy. Not to mention. You may not be able to get much useful information from him. ”

"Why did the Bodhisattva say that?"

"In the previous twenty years, he could only be regarded as an ordinary mortal, except for a slightly stronger physique, not much different from the others in the Jinshan Cave. I checked in the underworld, and there are no traces of his soul transfer in the reincarnation network, even if he uses private tools to illegally transfer his soul, it will inevitably leave special fluctuations in the reincarnation network. After ruling out this possibility, how did he get reborn in such a short period of time and master so much information and skills? ”

Hui'an Walker pondered: "You mean that everything is instructed by Erlang Zhenjun? But the scrutiny of Jiro Zhenjun has lasted so long, and it still hasn't been found out how they communicated, except for the suspicious place you mentioned......"

"No evidence is the greatest evidence. In addition to Yang Jian's secret troubles, what else can explain Xuanzang's abnormality? Besides, he himself admitted that he had been deceived by my false information, but we couldn't catch his obvious tricks. Guanyin paused and continued, "Speaking of evidence, Muzha, do you remember that when you were in Huangfengling, Xuanzang and the black bear spirit had ever met?" ”

"Disciple remembers."

"We all suspect that Xuanzang is a hidden rebel member. So, regardless of how he got in touch with the rebels during his twenty years in the Golden Mountain Cave, he was secretly recruited by them. Just to mention the obvious features we left on the black bear spirit, if they were recognized by the remnants of the rebels, how many times would they not try to rescue them? ”

Muzha agreed: "Indeed. Before his arrest, the black bear spirit had a very high reputation among the anti-thieves, second only to the golden cicada. When he was still in Black Wind Mountain, he led out a few thieves who escaped by chance. Recently, after passing through Baoxiang City, he successfully led to the hundred flowers who pretended to surrender. If Xuanzang was a rebel, with such a good opportunity on Huangfeng Ridge and the help of the white dragon, he should have lifted the hoop on the black bear's head. ”

Guanyin said, "Exactly. The golden cicada is extremely cunning, and once taught those thieves how to hide from Meng Po, and after reincarnation, it is possible to retrieve the hidden backup memories, or other such means, so that there are always one or two fish that slip through the net. But after he was killed by us, the rebels lost their backbone, and even if they occasionally recovered, they were limited to humble strength, and it was difficult to succeed. Giving priority to rescuing the more powerful main generals is the consistent practice of these thieves, and this is how the original golden cicada survived many times.

But Xuanzang is different, his style of acting may be very similar to that of the rebels, and even the shadow of the golden cicada occasionally, but there are significant differences in some key behaviors. For example, he chose an unreliable target like the canopy as an ally, such as giving up a great opportunity to rescue the black bear spirit, or for example, he did something that the rebels had not done in hundreds of years - to rob the prison in the Valley of the Two Realms.

In contrast, these are more like actions that are only possible at the behest of some inner ghost. In short, Xuanzang will not have much real ability, and he will set his pursuit level so high, just to attract everyone's attention. Xuanzang is not a rebel, he is just a pawn acting on his behalf, and what really needs to be taken seriously is the person who issued the order behind him. ”

"I see. So Erlang Zhenjun was furious in the Zen Temple that time, because he discovered the Bodhisattva's plan, and deliberately performed a break with Xuanzang? Hui'an Walker said thoughtfully.

But he was puzzled: "But if they really maintain some kind of unknown contact, why did Xuanzang still carry out so many outings during the trial and ban of Erlang Zhenjun?" He obviously has a way to shield the prism's observation, and he should wait until the limelight has passed before making plans. Without the command of Erlang Zhenjun, his chess piece is easily in danger. ”

"Maybe he is following Yang Jian's instructions in advance, or perhaps, our reasoning has failed, Xuanzang actually did not listen to Yang Jian's orders, but someone else." Guanyin smiled, "But they are very secret, and they still left a clue." In that underground base that Yang Jian instructed to create, traces of a poisonous gas could be found. I analysed its composition and found that it has the effect of erasing memories, but in some special cases, it may not work......

In addition, the remaining surveillance footage shows a group of lizard demons, and their caves can be found nearby, but these monsters are gone. If you can find these lizard demons, you may find some overlooked clues on them. Muzha, I'll leave this matter to you. ”

"Disciple commands!" (To be continued......)
