Chapter 8 The knife did not wake up to the predecessor
With the study of the ghosts in the five border passes, coupled with the ability to never forget, Xuanzang finally successfully passed the border pass before the moon came out. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
Gaochang is different from the Tang Dynasty, compared to the Turkic Tubo and other countries are still weak, not to mention the strong Tang Dynasty, Gaochang has only border cities, there are no border passes.
Xuanzang came out of the border, less than a mile to the vast desert, when Xuanzang was at a loss, by the moonlight that had just come out, he saw a figure sitting on a sand dune on the edge of the desert, and when he looked closer, it was Shi Pantuo.
"You're not leaving?"
"You're not dead?"
The two asked at the same time, then looked at each other and smiled, Xuanzang said first: "After you left, the division was arrested by a team of soldiers, but fortunately, the leader of this team of soldiers is my Buddhist believer, with his help, the division went all the way to the fourth beacon tower, and took out the map to help delineate the route for the division, so that he could get out of this pass safely." ”
"The master hasn't arrived yet, so naturally the apprentice can't go. Shi Pantuo said righteously, as if Xuanzang was not the one who escaped when he was shot by a bow and arrow.
After all, you have to rely on Shi Pantuo to cross the desert, the mage has heard that the danger of the desert is not inferior to the vast ocean, Xuanzang did not dare to turn his face, nor reprimanded, but said with relief: "So very good, you and I master and apprentice together to cross this thousands of miles of desert." ”
By the moonlight, the two traveled ten miles, and the time came early, Xuanzang's arrow wound was unbearable, and the two decided to sleep on the spot.
He took out the sheet from his bag and spread it on the ground, folded the robe neatly and released it in the bag, and the master recited the sutra, and then slept peacefully.
The two were less than a zhang away from each other, Xuanzang was restless during the day, and was frightened by the bow and arrow at night, and walked ten miles with arrow wounds, he was already extremely tired, and there was a slight snoring sound soon after lying down.
The mage was asleep, but the other was getting more and more energetic.
Xuanzang didn't know, and he didn't even know the generals at the border pass, but this teenage boy was a robber, so he took a person from Datang to go out of the border pass as the goal, killing people and robbing things, and he succeeded more than a dozen times in two years, and he didn't have to throw the body after killing, and the body would be buried in the long yellow sand.
And this time, Xuanzang became the target of the teenager.
Fifteen-year-old is a child after all, how can he be an adult man who dares to go to the border alone, he is wary of children, and Shi Pantuo shot after the other party was asleep, and he never missed.
This Shi Pantuo is also patient, even if he heard Xuanzang's snoring, he was stunned and waited for more than half an hour before he was ready to make a move, more than half an hour, this is more than an hour in the later life, and everyone is asleep.
A sharp dagger was silently taken out of his arms and wrapped around to the west of Xuanzang, so as not to cover the moonlight, and the change of light would wake up the sleeping person.
At this time, the knife is moving forward and the person is not awake, the dagger has approached Xuanzang's throat but a line, as long as the young man exerts force in his hand, not to mention the difference in the head, just looking at the cold light emitted by the dagger, just one throat is enough to cut, Xuanzang also can't escape the situation of death.
"Kid ....."
Weak and with a helpless familiar voice, Shi Pantuo gave up his intention to kill Tang Seng and looked at the phantom in front of him in surprise.
Ghost! It's still familiar to Shi Pantuo, and he brought himself up with the robber Ah Qi.
"Uncle Seven, is that you?"
The ghost of the seventh uncle smiled bitterly: "That's right, it's me." ”
"Why are you here? Uncle Seven, I miss you, why don't you come to see me all the time?" A teenager, facing the once only relative, tears quickly fell.
It's normal for people to be afraid of ghosts, but once they are their own relatives, half of them can forget their fears.
"Thanks to you, if you hadn't found this monk, I wouldn't have even had a chance to meet you. Ghost Ah Qi said self-deprecatingly.
"This monk?" Shi Banda wondered.
The ghost shadow Ah Qi looked at Shi Pantuo lovingly, and said: "That's right, it's this monk, I killed too much, and those unjust souls who died can't enter reincarnation, and hundreds of unjust ghosts are waiting for me in front of the ghost gate, because I miss you in my heart, and I broke free from the soul messenger and fled back to this place." Thinking that my hands are covered with blood, I can't even enter the eighteenth layer of hell, these two years, I have been silently watching you, I have escaped from the ghost gate and I will lose a lot of yin yuan, even if I want to see you, you can't see me, this desert land Yang Qi is too heavy, maybe after a while, I will be scattered, but fortunately, this monk and kind-hearted person has his own good light protection, only within a foot of him, I can show you to see!"
"Really, then I tied up this monk and let Uncle Seven be by my side forever. Shi Pantuo was quite moved after hearing this, and said fiercely.
Ghost Shadow Ah Qi shook his head and said: "You and I used to focus on finding lonely people, you don't know the scene of hundreds of unjust ghosts together, it makes me ashamed and frightened to think about it, you are also going to grow up, don't do this kind of business! Find a place to farm and graze, marry a girl to pass on the lineage, burn more incense and worship the Buddha, do more good deeds, maybe after death, you will not become a lonely ghost like me." ”
Shi Pantuo said with tears in his eyes: "I just want the seventh uncle to be by my side forever!"
"You just wanted to kill this monk, right?" Seeing Shi Pantuo nodding, the ghost shadow Ah Qidao persuaded him: "Child, you and I have killed hundreds of people, but there is no such good person among them, I will end up like this, if you kill this monk, you and I will be punished by heaven!
"I don't care what happens on this day, if I am punished by God, I will be punished by God! As long as Uncle Seven is by my side, now I will tie up this monk, and find a place where no one knows us in Tianming, and I will be able to see Uncle Seven every day with him. Shi Panta said stubbornly.
"Don't listen to Uncle Seven?" After the ghost shadow Ah Qi finished speaking, he was silent for a while and said leisurely: "Actually, I am your own father!"
"Father?" Shi Banda wondered.
Ghost Shadow Ah Qi nodded and said: "Who let my father be a robber, I really shouldn't have let you be my helper, even if it was thrown into a good family, it is better than this! Daddy was reluctant to give it away, so he let you go on this road, listen to Dad's words, stop it! Child, you are a mortal, you can't see the good light of this monk, Dad is a ghost, but you can see clearly, this person can't be killed! and can't be tied up!"
"Okay, I listen to Daddy, but I want Daddy to stay here for one night, the child misses Daddy so much!" said Shi Pantuo with tears in his eyes.
One person and one ghost chatted by Xuanzang's side until dawn, and the ghost shadow Ah Qi retreated, and Xuanzang, who was tired this night, never woke up at all, so naturally he didn't know that a ghost had come.
The day dawned, and the morning sun climbed the sand dunes, exuding a thousand rays of light shining on the face of Xuanzang who was sleeping at the bottom of the slope.
Master Xuanzang woke up and rubbed his eyes, looked around, and immediately found Shi Banda sitting on the top of the sand dune.
The mage said in his heart: This apprentice is still good, he didn't leave himself when he woke up, he was still waiting for himself, without him to guide the way, the same sand everywhere, it was really not easy to get out.
Xuanzang stood up and tidied up his clothes, and wanted to carry a salute to Shi Pantuo, but he couldn't find his own salute.
"It's not good! We were robbed last night! Disciple, have your baggage been stolen too? How is this good? The robe for the teacher is still inside! The fasting meal that has been turned into is also inside! How is this good!" Xuanzang beat his chest and cried.
For monks, the robe is face, some monks are even proud of collecting rare robes, and some even save hundreds of robes, poor Xuanzang in order to go west, the robe he brought is the most luxurious of his dozen robes, which can make Xuanzang anxious.
"Your burden is here!" Shi Pantuo raised a bag of things, and Xuanzang saw that it was his own bag, and he was immediately overjoyed, and he ran over to get it back.
Climbing up the sand dune, the mage saw that Shi Pantuo was indeed holding his own bag in one hand, and the other hand was holding a dagger, and he was stunned for a moment when he saw the dagger Xuanzang, but unfortunately the monk didn't understand what was going on, and he was still reaching out to get back his burden.
'Huh!' The cold light flashed, and the dagger slashed in front of Xuanzang's outstretched hand.
Shi Pantuo stood up, looked at Xuanzang, who was frightened and puzzled, and said viciously: "Old monk! You were robbed! I didn't kill you last night, it's because the young master is in a good mood! Get out of here!"
