Chapter 42 Get down the tower safely
Fuxian gritted his teeth when he heard this, and said hatefully: "It's not that I can't beat him, but the speed of that guy is really too fast, this Bodhisattva can't catch up with him at all, can't fight with him, it's really depressing, alas, if my white elephant is still by my side, it would be good, I will definitely be able to catch up with him." ”
"But like him, he is so alive and under my palm and does not move, his strength is not small, even if I can catch up with him, I may not be sure of victory, but I don't know where it is sacred, what is the intention of stealing this relic of resentment?"
The old monk couldn't help but be moved, and asked cautiously, "Could it be the nine-headed horse in the blue wave pool?"
Fuxian shook his head and denied: "No, those who can forcibly seize the relics of resentment under the suppression of this Bodhisattva Jade Ruyi are at least Bodhisattva-level figures, no matter how powerful the nine-headed insect is, it is impossible for a mere nether demon to reach this level, and it is impossible to be born with my many palm power without stagnation." ”
"I hope that this relic of resentment really fell into the hands of that nine-headed insect, at least he is in the turbulent stone mountain and blue wave pool, there are traces to follow, easy to find, and his ability is limited after all, it is not much use to ask for this relic of resentment. What I am most worried about at the moment is that this relic has fallen into the hands of an evil demon of my level, he has high knowledge and strong means, and he will use this relic of resentment to absorb the resentment of evil spirits to do evil, create deep and wide evil, and destroy all lives, which will be another great disaster. ”
Tang Sanzang nodded, and echoed: "Yes, I also think it can't be the nine-headed insect, after all, he is guarding this realm, if he really wants to seize this resentment relic, he can do it as early as two hundred years ago, how can he wait until today, go to the Bodhisattva to get an axe, there is a great sense of provocation, this courage, even if he is a nine-headed insect, he may not be able to have it." ”
Fuxian sighed when he heard this, and said with a slight bow: "Yes, Sanzang, you are reasonable, there should be no mistake, you need to be careful about your westward journey this time, the deity chases the black fog all the way, and sees that he is speeding away on the Western Avenue, maybe the other side of the territory can also meet your Sanzang army." ”
"Okay, let this matter aside for the time being, thanks to the blessing of the mysterious black mist, at least from today onwards, there will be no more resentful relics in the realm of this sacrifice race to bewitch and harm people, and this has to be regarded as a commendable thing. Sanzang, the old things are over here, you take my lotus platform down the tower, rest for a while, it's time to go west on the road. ”
As he spoke, he held up his palm and threw the small golden lotus platform out of the railing at the top of the tower, and the lotus platform rose in the air, shook it a few times, and it was transformed into the size of two zhang square circles, which could accommodate four or five stout men to sit on.
Seeing this, the master and apprentice of Sanzang respectfully bowed to Fuxian, and Sanzang sat firmly in the center of the lotus platform with the support of the two disciples. In an instant, the lotus platform slowly descended, but there was no one around, and the wind was very loud, which frightened Tang Sanzang and didn't dare to open his eyes, and it was only a moment before the lotus platform fell to the ground.
Tang Sanzang stood up, only felt that his legs and feet were weak, looked at the city gate in the distance, and complained depressedly: "Ya, this Fuxian Bodhisattva is really stingy, there is a way to help people to the end, send the Buddha to the west, and use this lotus platform to arrive in just a moment, but also ask this master to walk over with his feet, isn't it tiring?"
The monkey shrugged his shoulders unconsciously and said with a smile: "Master, I won't let you climb the first layer of corpses, so you can be content." ”
As he was talking, Bajie suddenly grinned, pointed his hand and said, "Master, look, who is here?"
When the master and apprentice looked up, they saw that Ao Bai had turned into a white horse in the distance, carrying Tianshu, Wujing and Ya Vulgar carrying their luggage, shouting and greeting all the way, and running towards their side at a high speed.
Sanzang couldn't help but be happy in his heart, and waved his hand and greeted: "Tianshu, Wujing, didn't you let you wait at the gate of the city, why did you run over at this time, I was distressed that I had to walk five or six miles for the teacher, so I saved some effort, I thought about it really thoughtfully." ”
A few people ran to the cut, took a few breaths, Sha Wujing scratched his head, and said with a grin: "Master, we have eaten the barbecue, and we have been waiting for it to be very bored, and when we saw the black light on the top of the tower disappear from afar, we knew that you had successfully tempered the evil spirits on the tower, and in the spirit of being idle and idle, we ran to meet you." ”
As soon as he heard this, Bajie was so excited that his saliva flowed, and he said anxiously: "Ya, you people who have not contributed are living well, and you don't remember my old pig if you have such a good thing as eating barbecue, which is really hateful." ”
Seeing that he was in a hurry, Ya Shi couldn't help but comfort: "Second Senior Brother, we are ordered to prepare food here, if you want to eat barbecue, I just want to know how the combat power of the evil spirits in this tower is, can the battle be tragic?"
Sanzang listened to the swing of his sleeves, and said impatiently: "Okay, let's talk about it after eating the barbecue, girl, there are mountains of corpses and bones in this tower, but I am tired of being a teacher, so I have to take a good rest." ”
Bajie was really hungry, and for a while he devoured and wiped out the barbecue meat brought out by Wujing, Wukong also closed his eyes and ate a few bites at will, only Sanzang swallowed his saliva weakly, and hesitantly stretched out his hand and retracted it, looking like he wanted to eat but didn't dare to eat.
Seeing that the master didn't eat it, Bajie couldn't help but fall right into his arms, grabbed the barbecue in front of him and ate it, and with a puzzled face, he couldn't help but turn around and ask: "Master, don't you eat such delicious barbecue, do you have no appetite, it's too tyrannical." ”
Wukong shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, shook his head and said: "Bajie, don't tease Master, you entered directly from the top of the tower, and didn't climb up from the bottom like us, Master must have climbed the corpse pile when he left a deep psychological shadow on the bloody corpse, so he didn't dare to eat these barbecued meats, in fact, don't say it's him, even my grandson is so super determined, now he can only eat meat with his eyes closed, and he doesn't dare to look at it directly." ”
Bajie glared at him when he heard this, and said with a grin: "Alas, you two are really petty children, what is wrong with the bloody corpse, when we were making monsters elsewhere, the fat and greasy big living people also caught a few of them, and directly slapped them to death and gnawed the meat to eat, what psychological shadow can this leave behind, it's too exaggerated, right?"
Seeing that the master retched when he heard this, Tianshu got off the white horse, couldn't help but pat him on the back, and diverted the topic: "In this way, the resentment of the evil spirits in this tower is really strong, and it is outrageous to destroy the living beings like this, bloodthirsty and murderous. ”
Sun Wukong nodded and sighed: "Not only is the resentment strong, but the combat effectiveness is also really good, if it weren't for Bajie leading the Fuxian Bodhisattva into the top of the tower to temper them, even my old grandson would not be able to be good." ”
As soon as the words came out, even Ao Bai's eyes widened, and he said in horror: "Didn't the master ask the old fox Manjushri to be invited, why did you invite the Fuxian Bodhisattva, the second senior brother has really run far enough this way." ”
Bajie chewed the barbecue in his mouth, and said with a hum: "Well, this matter is a long story, and I can't say it clearly for a while, my old pig is also full at the moment, seeing that the master can't eat meat for the time being, we have to bury the pot to make rice, cook him a bowl of porridge and eat it on the road." ”
Tianshu laughed when he heard this, stroked his palm and exclaimed: "The second senior brother has always been diligent, and he actually wants to cook porridge for the master, which is really rare." ”
The old pig blushed when he heard this, and said weakly: "I am also a long-hungry person, I know how painful it should be to not be able to eat, and besides, the master has also struggled hard this time, although he has not made much contribution, his feelings are respectable, and I only cook him a bowl of porridge to show filial piety." ”
The monkey blinked his eyes and said with a puzzled face: "My old grandson just thinks it's strange, when we finally went downstairs, why didn't the old monk ask us to help recapture the Buddha treasure from the nine-headed worm, he was worried about it for two hundred years, and when it came to refuge, he didn't say a word, and the situation was really suspicious." ”
Sanzang rolled his eyes unconsciously, and said disdainfully: "Since they have chosen to take refuge, the past, sadness and shame are like clouds of smoke, and there is no concern, not to mention that this imperial city has turned into a ruin, things are not human, glory is not there, what does it matter if they take back this Buddha treasure or not?"
Wukong pondered for a moment and nodded: "Even so, don't they want to attract the refugees who fled from the city to return to China and rebuild their glory, if there is no Buddha treasure shining on the earth, those people will definitely not return." ”
Bajie snorted when he heard this, and waved his hand angrily: "In this case, we are about to go west, and when we pass by the chaotic stone mountain and blue wave pool, we will easily defeat the nine-headed worm, and take back the Buddha treasure and put it on the pagoda to shine, won't it attract the people to return?"
Ao Bai's eyes widened when he heard this, and he said disdainfully: "Second Senior Brother, you said it lightly, I heard the old land say that the nine-headed insect has a vicious face and strong means, so that he would rather let the Buddha of Jinguang Temple be wronged and aggrieved, and the people will be displaced, and he will not confide in the truth, and easily blame him. ”
Sanzang couldn't help nodding when he heard this, and sighed: "Well, since this battle is unavoidable, we really have to be careful, and call a few helpers when necessary, fortunately, Fuxian Bodhisattva is here to guard the pagoda, even if we can't beat the nine-headed insect, we don't have to worry about finding a helper, and the power of Fuxian Bodhisattva's divine palm is really not ordinarily strong." ”
