Xingxian smiled lonely when she heard this, nodded and said: "Exactly, but now the wood immortals who are worshiped and worshipped have become big devils who kill people and bloodthirsty people and endanger one party, which is really a great irony." ”

Tang Sanzang couldn't help but sigh and comforted: "Fortunately, you haven't fallen into the Demon Dao, and you are still fighting unremittingly to protect the mountain people of Thorn Ridge, just rush to this, I should also salute you and worship you." After Sanzang finished speaking, he bowed down and bowed to her.

Seeing this, Xingxian's pale face showed a flush again, but the sadness in his eyes became deeper and deeper, and he shook his head silently and said: "Even so, as the two boys said, in order to maintain the safety of the people in this forest, I have been consuming true yuan for the past two hundred years to emit red mist, coupled with the broken root system and malnutrition, it has always been a vicious circle, hurting the fundamentals. Recently, I have become more and more emaciated, my physical strength is weak, and I feel that my limit has arrived, and my life is short, and I am afraid that I will not be able to support it for long. ”

Sanzang felt an inexplicable pain in his heart when he heard this, and couldn't help but blurt out: "If you compare your heart to your heart, I really agree with what those two boys said, human beings are so selfish and greedy, in order to be able to shelter themselves from the wind and rain and live comfortably, they have cut down too many trees to build pavilions and pavilions, carved beams and painted buildings, where do you take into account the feelings of your trees? ”

Xingxian smiled reluctantly when she heard this, and said out of the dust: "You can think like this, it is a great relief in my heart, I am not stupid, I just think that plants and trees have roots, they should take root in the soil, absorb nutrients, and it is the right way, if in order to seek survival, but so perverse, mutilating living beings, killing people and drinking blood, it is a deviation from the right path, and it is also against the dignity of plants and trees." ”

Sanzang couldn't help nodding his head when he heard this, stroked his palms and sighed: "Yes, yes, the dignity of plants and trees is to take root in the soil, absorb nutrients, and be able to say such profound words, is it also worthy of my worship?"

Xingxian didn't feel full of shyness, and looked up to the sky and sighed: "It's just that you are really Meng Lang, who is clever and eloquent, and actually bowed to me twice for this, which is far from the wooden-natured and incomprehensible Chen Xuanzang two hundred years ago, but you seem to be more real and accessible, approachable, closer to the Buddha's Avenue, back to basics, I can't help but rejoice in my heart." ”

"It's a pity that at this moment my roots are lost, time is short, I really regret that I didn't meet you at the best time, I can't help but make people cry. ”

Having said this, Xingxian suddenly woke up, grabbed Sanzang's hand and ran to the back of the ancient temple, and said as he ran: "No, since I left you here, I took the liberty of letting go of the two boys of Guimei, thinking that they must be worried about this matter, so they will go to Sihao to complain." Si Hao is bound to be furious when he hears this, and will come to Xingshi to ask for guilt, they have strong means and a large number of people, how can I resist it with just one person? And when I am not defeated, I will first explain what I want to explain, so as not to leave regrets. ”

Sanzang was led by her and ran wildly, and for a while he couldn't help himself, panting and said: "Slow down, slow down, but there is something urgent to explain so urgently, isn't it just to catch someone to take blood, and not to miss me, how can Sihao not give you this face, and want to come here to fight with you?"

Xingxian suddenly stopped when he heard this, turned around and looked at him fixedly: "Tang Sanzang, the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty, you don't have to pretend to be crazy and stupid, you admit that you are the person of destiny appointed by the Buddha, but when I don't know that eating a piece of your meat can be more than 10,000 years old, immortal, drinking a mouthful of your blood can make the white hair black, dead wood in spring, grass and trees take root, rotten bones and flesh?"

"Guimei two boys are stubborn, ignorant, don't know your own being, but Si Hao is such a shrewd character, listen to their description, must know that you are here, they have been because of the root system cut off all these years and hate, lingering, knowing the effect of your flesh and blood, when really ecstatic, day and night, as long as you come, in order to eat your flesh and blood, regrow the roots, restore glory. If they had heard your news from the two boys now, would they have no reason to flock to you?"

Sanzang sneered when he heard this, and said with disdain: "Ya, it's only been a few months, and the function of Lao Tzu's stinky skin has actually grown again, and it can make dead trees spring and plants and trees take root, this effect is really too powerful." If that's the case, I'd rather let you eat a piece of my flesh and drink a mouthful of my blood, then not only can you regrow your roots, but you can also grow your roots for more than 10,000 years, and you won't have to work so hard to cultivate. ”

As soon as the words came out, Xingxian only ate and laughed, shook her head vigorously and said: "Although this matter has spread all over the Three Realms, and it is very serious, I still have some doubts, even if it is true, I just want to guard my dignity as a plant and tree, do not eat meat, do not drink blood, and do not move half of your hair." ”

Sanzang was extremely moved when he heard this, nodded and muttered: "If the blood in my body really has such an effect, I would rather open my wrist and water you, so that you can regrow your roots and restore your complexion." ”

Xingxian was also very emotional when she heard this, and suddenly her cheeks turned red, and she turned her head and said: "Don't say that, even if the branches are withered and rotten, I will never let you do this, okay, you look ahead, we have arrived." ”

Sanzang looked up in the direction of her finger, and saw a small tomb bag piled up a few steps ahead, and a stone tablet was erected in front of it, on which were transcribed with black juice a few beautiful characters "The Tomb of Chen Xuanzang, a Tang Dynasty Monk".

Sanzang couldn't help but be taken aback, and said in shock: "I don't want the famous Tang monk to be buried behind this small ancient temple after his death, it's really incredible, but the environment here is quiet and elegant, and it's not too indebted to him." ”

Xingxian nodded, and said with a solemn face: "Since he is your pioneer predecessor, you should kneel down and worship him if you can't." Tang Sanzang was very obedient, and immediately knelt down, silently, and respectfully kowtowed to the tombstone three times.

Tang Sanzang stood up, but saw a small black box placed on the stone platform in front of the tombstone, square, I don't know what material it was made of, revealing a faint sweet fragrance of wood, which was very fresh.

Sanzang couldn't help but be puzzled, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Ya, this little black box is exquisite, but what is it used for, isn't it his ashes?"

Xingxian shook his head and said sadly: "His ashes have already been burned and buried in this tomb by me, but this is a relic left after the body is burned, you can open the box and see how it reacts to you?"

Sanzang opened the lid of the box according to his words, and saw a white transparent, palm-sized, ginger-shaped relic lying quietly in the box.

In an instant, this relic was like being electrified, emitting a brilliant and colorful light, which made Tang Sanzang can't help but squint his eyes and said in horror: "Ya, how can this relic emit light, like a powerful light bulb." ”

Xingxian was very happy when he saw this, and congratulated him: "It seems that you are really his successor, I come to touch the relics every few months, and it does not emit such colorful light, and you take it on your body, maybe it will be of great use in the future." ”

"Okay, everything that should be explained at this moment has been explained, and I don't have anything to worry about, just quietly guarding you here, waiting for Sihao to send someone to crusade against me. ”

Hearing her tragic, as if she was determined to die, Tang Sanzang was in a hurry, gritted his teeth and proposed: "They are not human beings, how can you fight, can you just sit here and wait to be killed, let's escape." ”

Xingxian waved his hand when he heard this, and sighed: "No, they are all grass and trees, and with the information provided by the trees and thorns in this forest, they can quickly sense where we are hiding, and there is nowhere to escape if they want to." Unless I use the True Yuan to emit another burst of red mist to confuse them, but I don't have enough energy at the moment, I have already sent it once earlier, and I can't raise my energy to consume the True Yuan, so it is better to save some effort and deal with them more. ”

Sanzang snapped his fingers when he heard this, and continued: "That's okay, since I was captured by two boys, my disciples must be anxious, and they will come to find me even if they do their best. ”

Xingxian didn't feel that he waved his hand again, and said with a shallow smile: "I know that your four disciples have indeed come to look for you with the information provided to me by the grass and trees in the forest, but they were instructed by the mountain people to drive the clouds straight in the direction of the Muxian Nunnery, and when you spoke to me, they had already flown over our heads." ”

Sanzang was very depressed when he heard this, and jumped to his feet and complained: "Alas, then why don't you remind them, but let them fight in vain, if not, you can also let them fight with you side by side with Sihao, so that they will not be so isolated?"

Xingxian couldn't help but sigh silently, with a resolute attitude, and said proudly: "I only want to wait quietly with you by this ancient temple at the moment, and I don't want others to come and disturb me, don't worry, if Sihao really comes to commit it, I will do my best to protect your safety like a few of your disciples." ”

Seeing that she was stupid again, Tang Sanzang was annoyed, heartache, and helpless: "But how can you be alone to defeat their many people, you will die, since their target is me, you better leave quickly, just wait for them here alone, anyway, Lao Tzu is a person appointed by the Buddha to learn scriptures, a dignified person of destiny, even if he is caught by a monster, he will not die so easily." ”
