Chapter 2: The Black Mist Forest
Sanzang shrugged his shoulders slightly, shook his head and said: "I don't know this, I want to come to His Majesty the King to take precautions, and send the emperor's uncle and Taishi to Huoluozhuang to carry out construction operations for the villagers, with deep intentions, just to take the opportunity to seize his rights, and besides, His Majesty the King is the father of the country after all, and he can decide the appointment and dismissal of the emperor's uncle and master at will. Everyone couldn't help but nod their heads when they heard this, and they admired it one after another.
Ya Shi tugged at Tianshu's sleeve and shook it incessantly: "Senior sister, but you still have the skill of communicating with spirits, can you teach me?"
Tianshu was disdainful when he heard this, and said noncommittally: "A little carving insect skills are not enough to worry about, it is only right that you should concentrate on learning combat power from your senior brothers, so don't be distracted anymore." ”
Yashi shook his head, and said unwillingly: "But you are walking too slowly, and the days are long, and you can't practice martial arts, don't you want to suffocate me to death?"
Tianshu's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he couldn't hide his excitement and said: "That's right, I heard that your kid is familiar with martial arts, but he is like a master in the cultivation of Taoism, his internal breath is disordered, and he has no progress, which is really worrying." In this way, if you are idle anyway, you will be idle, and I will teach you a Tao Te Ching, which is a masterpiece written by Taishang Laojun before he became Lao Tzu in the next life, and you can use it to memorize if you have nothing to do, which will be of great benefit to you in the practice of Taoism. ”
"Then it's better to choose a day than to hit the day, let's start now, the first article, follow me to recite, 'The Tao can be the way, the very way, the name can be famous, the name is not famous.' Nothing, the beginning of heaven and earth, and yes, the mother of all things. Therefore, there is always none, and I want to see its wonder, and I always have, I want to see it. These two have the same name and the same name, and they are the same mysteries. Mysterious and mysterious, the door of all wonders. ’”
When Tianshu said this, Ya Shi's eyes widened, and he stuck out his tongue a little nervously: "No, what is mysterious, mysterious, the door of all wonders, it's too profound, don't say you don't understand, and it's very awkward, but how can you remember it?"
As soon as the words came out, Tianshu smiled coldly, pulled down a rattan from the branch next to the road, slapped it on his leg fiercely, gritted his teeth and said: "This kid, the old lady is so easy to catch an opportunity to teach people, how can you easily miss it, you haven't tried it yet, how can you remember it, it's okay if it's too profound, you can slowly experience it in the future, first give me rote memorization, and the time limit is before this evening, if you don't recite it for me, see how I abuse you?"
This time he pumped extremely hard, Yashu obviously didn't expect Tianshu to be so ruthless, and was slapped on his thigh by the rattan knot, so painful that he burst into tears, jumped up from the ground suddenly, and mourned vigorously: "Okay, okay, can't I memorize it, they are all senior sisters, and their hands are still so black, but I really can't remember, why don't you memorize it again and explain it a little?"
Seeing that Tianshu really read it again, there was something that didn't make sense, and explained carefully, Tang San hid on Wujing's back, and said with a smile: "Look at this little Nizi who looks serious, it seems that she really wants to teach elegance and vulgarity, but she is too strict, I'm afraid not to frighten this kid." ”
Wujing under him also smiled innocently: "Yes, I have never seen Tianshu have such a strict time, it is easy to come to a little junior brother who is lower than his own rank, but he is not allowed to exert his power as a senior sister, but the elegance and vulgarity are really offended, and he has to practice combat power at night, and he has to be affected by the thunder of the thunder and lightning halberd. ”
Wukong smiled slightly when he heard this, and said indifferently: "It's okay, it's okay, his potential is very good, he has to develop it well, and besides, he wasted two hundred years of good time in the Pig Cave, if he doesn't work harder and recovers the lost time, how can he keep up with the increasingly severe situation on the westward journey?" Sometimes if a person is not persecuted, he really doesn't know how much ability he still has to hide, and you don't have to worry about him being tired, look at his strong body, he can be unharmed by Wanjun thunder and lightning every day, and he is a little tired, so what's the matter?"
Sanzang laughed when he heard this, and nodded again and again: "Even so, seeing that he was abused so badly by Tianshu, I really can't bear to be a teacher, after all, the human body is flesh and blood, no matter how hard you work hard, you must always know how to combine work and rest, I won't join in the fun as a teacher, just teach him a few songs casually to cultivate his sentiment." ”
In this way, the Sanzang Legion walked all the way through the territory of Zhu Ziguo, and continued to trek hard along the road to the west, along the way did not forget to teach the Ya Vulgar combat power and the essence of Taoism, not to mention that the Ya Vulgar is really talented in martial arts, ten days and half a month down, very skilled in tricks, so that a few people no longer have anything to teach him, so they had to fight with him one by one. Elegance and vulgarity are really good, after a few days like this, his experience in the enemy has become more and more abundant, except for a slight lack of shortcomings, he can already barely support Wujing to the top of a hundred moves before gradually falling behind.
However, Bajie and Wujing are both born straight, and they go on a rampage, and they don't seem to be soft at all, and every time they have to fight elegantly and lose their armor, and they say forgiveness, but they are still bruised and purple, with a blue nose and swollen face, before they give up. He didn't think anything of it, and after resting for a while, he still carried a pig's head with two people, but Tang Sanzang, who was soft-hearted, couldn't look at it a little, and reminded the two of them many times to show mercy to their subordinates, and not to spoil the new junior brother.
The two of them were also full of grievances when they heard this, and they were really in a hurry, so they reluctantly threw out a cruel sentence:" Master, this is actually not the original intention of the two of us, it is the result of Tianshu and the senior brother after discussion, the two of them said, if you want to learn real kung fu, you must first learn to be beaten, if the kung fu is not at home, the ability to resist the attack is improved, and he can save his life at a critical moment, after all, our Sanzang army is lonely, if the battle is chaotic, no one can protect him, people, at the critical moment, you have to rely on your own strength. ”
Sanzang was speechless when he heard this, thinking that Tianshu, this little girl, is usually weak in writing, and it is really ruthless when it is really strict, and these days he has used a copy of the "Tao Te Ching" to force the elegance and vulgarity to be nervous, and he has talked nonsense in his sleep at night, but fortunately, this kid's ability to resist beatings is super strong, and after more than ten days of abuse, he has memorized a small part of the scriptures of the "Tao Te Ching", and this perseverance is really admirable.
But it is said that the three Tibetan masters and apprentices have been on the road for days, and gradually came to a mountain, the atmosphere here is very different from before, although the mountain is low, it is not precipitous, but it is endless, it is very extensive, and the depths of the dense forest are faintly full of a black gas, ghostly, hidden infinite killing machine, let people see a bitter fear from the depths of their hearts.
Seeing the jealousy on everyone's faces, Tang Sanzang greeted, and the apprentices immediately understood, led by Wukong and Ao Bai, and behind the Bajie and Wujing Palace, the master, Yashu and Tianshu were tightly protected in the middle. Several people cautiously and slowly advanced along the way, although the road was slow, but there were no dangers, and they passed safely, but the black smoke in the forest became thicker and thicker, and the Sanzang army did not dare to take it lightly, one by one, their fists were clenched, silent, and gradually moved towards the hinterland of the unknown forest.
At this time, Sun Wukong, who was leading the way in front, suddenly stopped, raised his hand solemnly to stop everyone's footsteps, everyone was already nervous, and seeing his strange expression, they became more and more like a frightened bird, and threw inquiring glances at him one after another.
The monkey waved his hand slightly, looked at the dense forest in front of him and said, "No, this forest is really a little weird." ”
Bajie smiled dryly, shrunk his head and said: "This monkey saw us so nervous, but he didn't forget to come out to be funny, look at the black fog in this forest, a clear-eyed person can see that there is a monster, but do you still need to remind you?"
The monkey was noncommittal when he heard this, and scolded: "This pig's head is funny, how can my grandson be that alarmist person, of course, with a mortal eye like you, you can't tell the difference." Come on, come on, come and see, what is this?"
As he spoke, he pointed his hand, and the thick black fog in front of him suddenly receded, and on the high branches, dozens or even hundreds of colorful nets were adhered horizontally, and in the middle of the big net, all kinds of dead creatures were firmly glued, there were flying birds the size of geese, there were bighorned stag struggling desperately and dying on the side, and there were dead people with their mouths open on their backs, and their bodies had turned into half of the bones. The corpses were all horrible with painful expressions, and the most bizarre thing was that their epidermis was intact, but their bodies were shriveled, as if they had been sucked dry from the inside by something.
Bajie looked horrified, and said in horror: "Mom, this monkey is too powerful, just this little finger points out that so many dead corpses come and don't perform magic tricks, which is really condescending." ”
The monkey was very disdainful when he heard this, and shrugged his shoulders leisurely and said: "This pig's head thought that he was frightened, so he talked nonsense again, this is just some of the most ordinary tricks, but it is covered by the black fog, can't you see it? ”
Tianshu nodded, and said with a solemn expression: "Look at the skin of these corpses, but the juice on the inside has been sucked dry, like the masterpiece of spiders." ”
