Li Xiang fled from Cuiyun Mountain, and did not immediately return to his Thorn Ridge, but came to the Flame Mountain. Sun Wukong arrived here one step ahead of him and was ready to put out the fire. Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and others all looked up, and only nodded slightly at Li Xiang's arrival.

Li Xiang only nodded to them, and then looked up at Sun Wukong and watched him put out the fire. I saw that the one-foot-long fan was held by Sun Wukong in both hands, and he fanned it out with all his strength, and the flame mountain was extinguished peacefully, and the silence was removed; Sun Wukong fanned the second one, only to smell the whole mountain Xi Xiaoxiao, the breeze moved slightly; The third fan, the sky is full of clouds and deserts, and the drizzle falls on Feifei.

Seeing that the flames of the mountain of flames were all suppressed, everyone was overjoyed. But Li Xiang shouted to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, you only care about these three fans for one year, and the fire will recur next year." Why don't you fan a few more and completely extinguish the fire, wouldn't it be convenient? ”

Tang Seng heard that the fire could be completely extinguished, and he also shouted: "Wukong, if the fire of this mountain is completely extinguished, the people here can live and work in peace and contentment, this is an act of immeasurable merit, you can do it!" ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he agreed, raised the fan and continued to fan, not wanting a figure to fly from afar, and shouted loudly: "Great sage and slow!" ”

Sun Wukong stopped and looked at it, and found that it was a red child, and said, "Didn't you follow Guanyin Bodhisattva to be a good wealth boy?" Why here? ”

The red boy said: "I came to follow the Bodhisattva's decree, and ordered you not to extinguish the fire of this mountain, just suppress the fire and send Elder Tang over the mountain." ”

Sun Wukong wondered: "Why is this?" My master also said that extinguishing the fire is a matter of immeasurable merit, so why shouldn't the Bodhisattva allow it? ”

The red boy said, "I don't know why the Bodhisattva doesn't allow it. It's just a matter of being ordered. Also, the Bodhisattva asked you to give me the banana fan. Bring back to the Lower Mountains. ”

Sun Wukong hesitated a little, feeling that something was wrong. How could a bodhisattva make such a decree? At this time, Li Xiang flew to his side and sneered at the red boy: "Are you the red boy? Put a samadhi real fire and I'll take a look! ”

Sun Wukong immediately came to his senses, his face sank, and he said, "Who are you?" Quickly show your original form! ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide it anymore, the red boy turned into the appearance of the Bull Demon King, and said, "Sun Wukong, my wife, Princess Iron Fan." It all depends on the worship of the people near the Flaming Mountain, and you extinguish the fire of the Flaming Mountain, what does she eat and drink? I won't settle the account with you for abducting my child, and you won't ruin my wife's livelihood!" ”

Li Xiang sneered: "Old Niu, are you nesting in the gentle township all day long, and your brain is all into a pulp?" Now the fan is in our hands, you can't beat the two of us in a fight, and just now you also pretended to pass on the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva, no matter how you look at it, you should be begging us. You have a natural face, don't we owe you anything? acquaintances, so they quickly apologized, and then obediently retreated. If not. We're going to kill cows and eat meat today! ”

As a demon king who survives in the cracks between heaven and Buddhism, the Bull Demon King is also able to bend and stretch, knowing that he is no longer an opponent with Li Xiang alone. What's more, there is also a Monkey King, so his face immediately changed. He smiled flatteringly and said, "Yes, yes, it's my old cow." I beg your pardon. The flame mountain will be extinguished when it is extinguished, at most there will be less offerings, but when the fan is used up, please return it to the two of you. My wife has no fan, what is she called Princess Iron Fan? ”

Sun Wukong said: "Don't worry, since my sister-in-law is willing to lend the fan to my grandson, I will definitely borrow and repay, and I will never be greedy for her." ”

Li Xiang interjected at this time: "This fan belongs to Princess Iron Fan, and if you want to return it, you will return it to Princess Iron Fan." You are a negative person who married the second room and let the original partner keep the empty room alone, why should you ask for a fan for Princess Iron Fan? You don't want to sweep your original partner out of the house and start plotting to seize the family property, right? ”

The Bull Demon King waved his hand again and again: "There is no such thing, there is no such thing!" Don't slander people with empty mouths and white teeth, my old cow is not that kind of person! Although he married a second room, he never abandoned his original match. If you don't believe me, let the rakshasas take it themselves. Then I'll take my leave, and you can continue! ”

Looking at the back of the Bull Demon King who was panicking, Sun Wukong laughed, turned Li Xiang, and said in a low voice: "Old Shu, I think the iron fan princess is a little interesting to you, why don't you accept her!" Let the old cow also taste the taste of abandonment. ”

Li Xiang rolled his eyes and said, "I want to accept you, I'm not that interested." Hurry up and put out your fire, and when the fire is extinguished, I will play with the fan for two days. ”

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "If you want to play with the fan, you tell the princess of the iron fan yourself, I don't care." If you accept her, let alone play for two days, even if you take the baby for yourself, presumably the princess of the iron fan will not have a second word, wouldn't it be convenient? ”

Li Xiang angrily raised his leg to kick him, but Sun Wukong dodged with a smile, and Li Xiang ignored him and lowered the clouds. Sun Wukong waved the banana fan again, and fanned it forty-nine times in a row, and the heavy rain poured on the flame mountain of the fan. The most amazing thing is that where there is fire, there is rain, and where there is no fire, it is sunny, as if the rain is spiritual, so I will find a place with fire, so that Li Xiang will be amazed.

It rained heavily all night, and Tang Seng and the others naturally couldn't climb the mountain at this time, so they had to wait for the rain to stop. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Xiang asked the banana fan to come over and carefully understand the mystery. He's a big guy in the wind system, and he quickly figured it out.

In fact, the wind from this fan is not strong, the key is the Taiyin qi entrained in the wind, but it is rare in the world. There is a samadhi true fire in that flame mountain, and ordinary winds can't extinguish it at all, even samadhi divine winds can't restrain it. What extinguishes the fire is actually the qi of Taiyin.

If it is a samadhi kamikaze, Li Xiang is still interested in studying it, and there is nothing to study about the qi of Taiyin, so he threw the fan to Sun Wukong and asked him to return the fan, and he returned to Thorn Ridge with his divine foot.

Back at home, Li Xiang had nothing to do, so he simply realized the Taiqing Heart Method again. However, this time I went to enlightenment, I didn't settle down, I just read in general, just like reading a book in my spare time. If you understand it, you will understand, and if you don't understand it, you won't force it, and you will slowly understand it later.

The reason why this is so is because Sun Wukong and they are already very close to Thorn Ridge, and it will not be long before they arrive. When he arrived at Thorn Ridge, how could Li Xiang, the landlord, not entertain him? So I simply didn't settle down, and waited for Sun Wukong and them to leave.

When Sun Wukong and the others crossed the Flame Mountain, it was late autumn, and when they came to Thorn Ridge, it was already the end of winter and spring. On this day, Li Xiangzheng led his little demon to play football again, and heard Sun Wukong shouting at the bottom of the mountain: "Old tree! You don't tidy up the thorns on the mountain, get out of the way, let us cross the mountain! ”

Li Xiang is a big tree in this life, and he has his own experience in controlling plants and trees. Seeing where Sun Wukong and them were with Tianyantong, he pinched a trick in his hand, and the thorn bushes all over the mountains immediately moved to both sides, revealing a road two zhang wide. Tang Seng and the others walked along the main road until they reached Li Xiang's small courtyard.

Tang Seng thought that Li Xiang was also an immortal, but he didn't expect to see a little demon in the courtyard when he arrived at Li Xiang's residence. Frightened, he sifted through chaff and said, "Is this really the dojo of the green pine people?" Isn't there a monster who changes into his appearance to deceive people? ”

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Master, don't panic, who are you saying that green loose person?" He was just a pine tree. However, although he is a demon body, he cultivates the immortal family Taoism. Look at these little demons, although they are half-beasts and half-humans, they are clean and tidy, and there is no smell of smell on their bodies, which is very different from the monsters elsewhere. ”

Tang Seng was relieved and followed Sun Wukong into the courtyard. It wasn't until they entered the courtyard that they realized that the group of little demons had divided into two teams and were chasing a ball around in a marked field. There are also many little demons watching the game from the sidelines, cheering endlessly. Zhu Bajie said strangely: "What are these little demons crazy about?" It looks like a polo, but they don't ride horses, is it because this ridge is full of thorns and there is nowhere to put horses? ”

Li Xiang also greeted him at this time, and said with a smile: "Yes, yes, my thorn ridge is full of thorns, and no large animals can enter, and horses naturally can't be raised." Bajie's rake can just be used to open up the wasteland, so why don't you do me a favor and remove all the thorns all over the mountains, so that I can have a place to raise horses. ”

Zhu Bajie immediately shook his head like a rattle and said: "You have the ability to open the way, how can you not eradicate thorns?" Do you treat me as a fool and take me as a coolie? I'm not going to do it! ”

Li Xiang laughed again, stopped teasing Zhu Bajie, and stretched out his hand to invite guests: "Elder Tang, please come inside!" You have worked hard from afar, wash up first, and then have a wine banquet, and I will pick you up and wash the dust. ”

Under the guidance of Danyang and Guiyao, the four Tang monks settled down in the wing room first, took a bath and changed their clothes, and then came to the lobby and saw that a large round table had been set up with wine and food. Looking at the dishes on the table, they were all vegetables and wild fruits, without the slightest meat, which made Tang Seng quite satisfied, and thanked Li Xiang again and again.

After everyone sat down, Li Xiang entertained everyone and gave everyone vegetables one after another. Tang Seng tasted it first, his eyes lit up, and he exclaimed: "The donor has a good cook, I have tasted a lot of various foods along the way, but I have never seen such a vegetarian meal, it really tastes good!" ”

Li Xiang pointed at Gui Yao and said with a smile: "The good cook that Elder Tang said is her, don't look at her small, but she is definitely ingenious." ”

Gui Yao thanked him: "The master praised me, aren't these dishes I made under the guidance of the master?" The master is the genius of the heavens. ”

Sun Wukong said: "Okay, okay, you masters and servants don't sell yourself and boast." Old tree, our master and apprentice have walked for a long time, since we have come to you, we have to rest and go again, you, the landlord, have to entertain us well. ”

Li Xiang smiled and said, "It's easy to say, but you still have to pay for the accommodation." I don't want anything else, Brother Monkey, you and I have been friends for so long, and I also thank you for teaching the seventy-two changes and somersault clouds, but I have never learned your stick method, eat and drink enough for a while, let's compete, how about it?
