371 Seventy-two changes
Li Xiang was stunned, he didn't expect Guanyin Bodhisattva to be dead and the idea of wooing him to join the Buddhist sect. This is the second time Guanyin Bodhisattva has invited him, but Li Xiangzhen is really reluctant to join Buddhism, so he has to bite the bullet and say: "Please forgive the Bodhisattva, the wish of the poor path is not fulfilled, please give me some more time." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva said indifferently: "I don't know what your wish is, can you tell me?" Maybe I can help. ”
Li Xiang hesitated: "This ...... To tell you the truth, I have a great enemy, and I have sworn that I must kill him. Therefore......"
Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed: "Since Daoist friends have made such an oath, I can't stop it. Since this is the case, I won't force it, I just hope that Taoist friends will not lose their hearts because of hatred and fall into the devil's path. ”
Li Xiang didn't expect Guanyin Bodhisattva to let him go so easily, and he was immediately grateful, and said with a deep salute: "Please rest assured that the poor Dao will only kill this one person, and will never implicate the innocent." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded, and took Muzha Tengyun away. Seeing them leave, Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, and immediately turned back to Sun Wukong and said, "Brother Monkey, if you get out of trouble, I won't accompany you, let's meet again." ”
Sun Wukong also saw that Li Xiang was very nervous in front of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and couldn't help asking: "Old Shu, why are you afraid of Guanyin Bodhisattva?" I think she's very kind. ”
The two have been together for a long time, and they call each other a lot more casually, one is called Brother Monkey, and the other is called Lao Shu, which can be regarded as informal.
Li Xiang wanted to warn Sun Wukong a few words, but he wanted to say something again, and finally shook his head and said: "You will know how powerful she is in the future, so I don't want to say more." Brother Monkey, take care of yourself and say goodbye. ”
Sun Wukong suddenly shouted again: "Wait! You and I didn't have a relationship before. But you have been with me here for 200 years, and you are much better than all my righteous brothers. I know you've always coveted my seventy-two changes. Now that we're going to separate, I'll just fulfill you. Listen up. I'll just read it once. ”
As he spoke, Sun Wukong began to dictate the mantra of the seventy-two changes. Li Xiang didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly listened.
In fact, Sun Wukong's so-called only reciting it once is similar to covering his ears and stealing the bell. Li Xiang is also a true immortal, and his memory is thousands of times stronger than that of ordinary people. There are geniuses among ordinary people who have never forgotten, and even if Li Xiang is not a genius in the true immortals, he can completely remember it over and over again.
After Sun Wukong finished reading, Li Xiang closed his eyes and silently repeated it in his heart, seeing that he had memorized every word. Only then did he open his eyes, knelt down and kowtowed: "Brother Monkey's great kindness, I will never forget!" I'm going back to my Thorn Ridge, and if there's anything you need my help with, come to me. ”
After saying goodbye to Sun Wukong, Li Xiang did not leave immediately, but came to the small temple dedicated to him, and appeared for the last time to warn the people nearby. The Marble Mountains are about to collapse, and everyone must be careful to avoid them. Only then did he use his magic foot and return directly to Thorn Ridge.
Returning to the place where his original body was, Li Xiang found that the big pit left behind when he had survived the Transformation Tribulation was still there. But it's already overgrown with artemisia. Li Xiang raised his eyes and looked at the barren mountains around him and sighed. Either way, this is his home on this plane. Let's pick it up.
Use mana to level the neighborhood a bit, and then cut down the wood to build a house. A small courtyard was built. Anyway, he was the only one who lived there, and it was useless to have a house that was too big. This time. He missed the other dryads he had used as shields, and if they were still there, he could talk to him. Now that they're all dead, I'm so lonely. …… Hey, that's not right!
Li Xiang came to the place where he crossed the robbery again, and found that there were two osmanthus plants that actually had spiritual wisdom! He thought about it carefully, and then remembered that when he first crossed the tribulation, he turned all the big trees that might become essences one by one, but these two dangui plants were short and couldn't stop the thunder tribulation, so they didn't use them. I didn't expect them to be silent and intelligent!
This made Li Xiang very happy, so he sat cross-legged in front of the laurel tree and recited the first two layers of "Getaway". After reciting it three times, the two cinnamon plants made a rustling sound of leaves rubbing, as if to express gratitude to Li Xiang. Li Xiang nodded, got up and went back to the newly completed house, and realized that the seventy-two had changed.
Seventy-two changes may seem like just a change technique, but in fact it's not that simple. Ordinary youkai also change, but their changes are just using illusions to cover up their true appearance, so that when others see them, they are confused and think that what they see is real. This kind of transformation technique is too simple, and if you meet a master, it is easy to see through it. For example, Sun Wukong's fiery eyes are the best at identifying this illusion.
Seventy-two changes are different, they are real changes. When you become a bird, you are a bird from the inside out, and when you become a fish, you are really a fish. Even if you catch the dissection, you can't find out whether it's true or false. During the Battle of the Gods, Yang Jian took advantage of this characteristic to transform into a fly and flew over the miasma that people and animals could not pass through. This is a change from the genetic level, not a supernatural person, and I can't see through it at all.
Since this kind of supernatural power is so magical, it is naturally not so easy to cultivate. Sun Wukong can be regarded as a genius in the sky, and it took thirty years to barely practice. It's a pity that it's still not perfect, when fighting with Yang Jian, it becomes a fish, but it looks like a carp is not a carp, and it looks like a mandarin fish and not a mandarin fish; turned into a small temple, and also erected the flagpole that the tail turned into behind it, so that Yang Jian saw the flaw, so he couldn't escape, and was finally captured. Li Xiang's talent is far inferior to Sun Wukong, and it is of course even more difficult to comprehend this magical power.
However, to Li Xiang's surprise, after listening to his preaching, the two dangui plants quickly transformed into human forms and came to meet him. Because the cultivation of the two osmanthus plants is still shallow, the image of the illusion is also two children, a man and a woman. When he saw Li Xiang, he called him "master" and knelt down and kowtowed.
Li Xiang saw that they knew how to repay their kindness and knew how to be polite, so he accepted them by his side and served them. They were named Danyang and Guiyao. Talk and preach in your spare time, and you will not be so lonely.
Danyang and Guiyao can appear in human form, but they are not transformed into shapes, but only in the form of human beings. Although it looks like an ordinary person, it is always conditioned by the ontology. If the body is lost, they will also be harmed. Therefore, they usually don't dare to stay away, so they can only stay next to their main body and drive away the snakes, rats and beasts that may hurt them.
On this day, Li Xiang was meditating in the house, and heard someone shouting, "Old tree, old tree!" My grandson has come to see you, and I haven't come out to greet you! ”
Li Xiang heard that it was Sun Wukong's voice, hurriedly walked out of the house, looked up, and sure enough, it was Sun Wukong who came to the clouds, and landed directly in the courtyard without going through the gate. Li Xiang greeted him with a smile and said, "Congratulations to Brother Monkey, you are out of trouble." Come on, come on, come into the house and talk to me. ”
didn't want Sun Wukong to wave his hand and said: "Old tree, I have something urgent to do now, so I won't go into the house." At the beginning, you said that if I am in trouble, even if I ask you for help, I am in trouble now, can you help me? ”
Li Xiang was surprised: "What trouble are you in?" Let's start with that. ”
Sun Wukong said: "The **** promised Guanyin Bodhisattva to ensure that the scripture taker went to the West Heaven, and soon after you left, the scripture taker came." I escorted him to the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, and there was a ginseng fruit tree in that view, which bloomed once every 3,000 years, and fruited once every 3,000 years, and only matured three years ago, and only thirty of them matured each time. If you smell it, you will live to be 360 years old, and if you eat one, you will live for 47,000 years. My grandson was greedy, so he stole three and ate them separately with his two junior brothers. But the boy in that view was not dirty, and I said that I had eaten four of him, and in a fit of rage, I pushed the fruit tree to it. I don't want the master to come back, what is Zhen Yuanzi, it's so powerful, my grandson can't beat him, he took it back, let me compensate for his fruit tree, otherwise we won't let our master and apprentice go. I pleaded everywhere, but no one could save the tree. Later, I thought that you are also a big tree, and there must be a way to save the fruit tree, so I came to you. ”
Li Xiang didn't expect that they had already walked to Wuzhuang Temple, but when he heard Sun Wukong's request, he shook his head again and again and said: "Brother Monkey, it's not that I shirk, it's really that I don't have that ability." That ginseng fruit tree is one of the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, there is only one in the world, I am just an ordinary pine tree to attain the Tao, how can I be as good as a ginseng fruit tree? But I know who can save the tree. ”
Sun Wukong grabbed Li Xiang's sleeve with great joy and said, "I knew that you must have a law, come quickly!" ”
Li Xiang said: "The person with this ability is none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva. She has a magic weapon, called the Sheep Fat Jade Bottle, which can give birth to nectar water and cure the spirit seedlings of the fairy tree. Just go to her, and you'll be able to save her. ”
After Sun Wukong heard this, a somersault cloud appeared on his head, and his voice came from afar: "Thank you Lao Shu, I'll talk to you again in the future." ”
Li Xiang saw Sun Wukong coming and leaving in a hurry, so he could only shake his head and smile, and went back to his room to continue meditating.
Originally, Li Xiang thought that Sun Wukong would leave this time, and he would not come for at least a year and a half. Unexpectedly, less than a month later, this monkey came to Thorn Ridge again, and without waiting to enter the door, he shouted that Li Xiang should prepare wine and food, and that he wanted to have a good drink with him.
Li Xiang hurriedly came out of the house and asked in surprise: "Brother Monkey, didn't you keep the scriptures to go to the west to learn the scriptures?" Why do you have time to come to me for a drink? ”
Sun Wukong said angrily: "Don't mention it, that old monk doesn't know what to do, he doesn't know the true face of monsters." I was obviously trying to save him, but he blamed me for killing my life, swore to God, wrote a derogatory book, and expelled me. When I came out, I was upset, and I wanted to talk to you, so I came to your house. ”
Li Xiang understood as soon as he heard it, this was the part where the monkey beat the white bone spirit three times. Although the monkey suffered some grievances at this time, after Tang Seng figured out the truth, the relationship between the master and apprentice would be deeper. So he didn't say much, just asked Danyang and Guiyao to renovate the banquet and entertain Sun Wukong. (To be continued.) )
