However, it is said that since Kong Xuan was the head, the luck of Buddhism has declined for no reason, and this change has aroused the vigilance of the Buddha.

He summoned all the Buddhas to make calculations together, but he could not get any results, and in the end he could only blame them on the calamity.

Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple.

In the top Mo Xiao Han, the root is connected to the Sumeru vein. The peaks are arranged, and the strange stones are uneven. The palace of the heavenly king put a glow, and the purple flame was sprayed in front of the Dharma Protector Hall.

The floating tower is showing, the bowl is fragrant, it is the earth that is better than the doubt, and the clouds are leisurely and the days are long.

On top of the auspicious clouds and golden flowers, the huge body of the Buddha sits upright, and down are the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, the eighteen arhats, the eight heavenly dragons, the three thousand bhikshunis, and so on. The entire spiritual mountain is full of golden light, and the Buddha's light shines on every inch of the place, and there is a scene of great light and great bliss.

Beneath the clouds are countless horizontal sands, and in each grain of horizontal sand there is a huge Buddha country, in which trillions of incense people are fanatical believers, contributing their beliefs all the time.

Countless dots of incense beliefs converge into a stream, and finally enter the cloud of merit and celebration of Buddhism as its heritage.

At this time, the sky above suddenly burst into blue light, and a figure came from the chaos.

The Buddhas stopped chanting and looked up, and saw a pretty woman in palace clothes descending into the Great Lei Yin Temple.

"It turned out to be a Qingluan Taoist friend of Wa Palace, I don't know what teachings the saint has when he comes to Wuleiyin Temple?"

Qingluan bowed and said with a smile: "I've seen the Buddha, I don't know Kong Xuanke, I heard that he entered your Buddhism and became a Ming King Bodhisattva, why haven't I seen him?"

"The Buddha's mother, Kong Xuan, stays in the Golden Light Dojo to practice on weekdays, and she will not come to the Da Lei Yin Temple to discuss the Buddha's recitation. The Bodhisattva on the side replied.

The Buddha nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Qingluan didn't want to ask again, and after leaving Lingshan, he went to Peacock Mountain.

On Peacock Mountain, Golden Light Dojo.

The light of the five strange peaks was far dimmer than usual, and the colorless divine light seemed to be damaged and flickering.

The bird-beaked boy had not seen this situation in countless years, but before the old man returned, there was no other way, he could only wait anxiously.

At this time, the prohibition of the dojo suddenly opened automatically, and the bird-beaked boy's face was happy, "It must be that the eldest master is back!"

The person who came was a palace woman in Tsing Yi Emei, although her face was pretty, but at this time it faintly revealed a graceful and luxurious bearing, which made people dare not think about it.

"You are ......" The boy was slightly surprised, and quickly reacted after a moment, "You are grandmother!"

Hurriedly knelt on the ground, bowed and kowtowed.

"It turned out to be you, a little finch, who hadn't transformed when I saw you last time, hehe, yes, I actually became Kong Xuan's janitor!"

Qingluan smiled and waved his hand, letting the boy get up.

"Where's your lord, not at home?"

"The eldest master went out with the two Bodhisattvas a few days ago, and he hasn't come back yet!"

"Oh, which two bodhisattvas?"

"It's Manjushri and Puxian!"

"Tong'er, watch the door!"

"Yes, grandmother!"

Qingluan swept in the direction of Wutai Mountain, the speed was extremely fast, and he came to a blessed land of immortals in one leap.

Colorful rain falls, and the white crane leads its neck to the moon.

After the clouds and mist dissipated, a hidden ashram appeared, with a stone tablet in front of it, engraved with "Pure and Cool Hua" on the front, and "The Wonderful Text on the Merits of the Great Wisdom Manjushri" recorded in small characters on the back.

The forbidden formation at the entrance of the dojo has been completely closed, which means that in the cultivation world, it means to retreat and practice, and no one can be disturbed.

Seeing this, Qingluan sighed slightly, thinking that he had come at the wrong time, and was about to turn around and leave.

At this time, the formation suddenly opened, and when the rolling fog was churning, a golden gate appeared, and a Buddha carved bronze mirror the size of a bowl was hung above the gate.

Manjushri walked out of the door quickly, gave a salute and said, "Amitabha, the distinguished guests are coming, if you miss the distance, forgive your sins!"

Qingluan looked at the bronze mirror and knew in his heart that it was also a magic weapon that could perform the Circular Light Technique, and could observe things outside the cave from a distance.

"Manjushri Bodhisattva, the deity is Qingluan of the Wa Palace, and I want to inquire about the whereabouts of my son Kong Xuan!" Seeing the juniors, Qingluan was not polite and asked bluntly.

Manjushri's face froze, as if he thought of something bad, and asked, "I've seen Venerable Qingluan, hasn't the Great Ming King Bodhisattva returned to his dojo?"

"I went to look for it, and the janitor said he hadn't returned for a few days. Qingluan suddenly felt a trace of uneasiness in her heart.

"Here's the thing, the ...... of the Lion Camel Country before"

Manjushri recounted the events before and after, and Qingluan became more and more uneasy on the side.

"In other words, Dapeng may have suffered a disaster, and Kong Xuan went to find the bad luck of the person who learned the scriptures? You two didn't want to block the plan to travel to the west, so you returned to the dojo early?" Qingluan said with a solemn face.

Manjushri's expression was slightly unnatural, "Yes, Venerable, that's probably how it is!"

Qingluan didn't answer, and turned around directly and disappeared into the sky.

"Congratulations to Venerable Qingluan!"

————————————————

Tang monks and apprentices drove the carriage, all the way over the mountains and mountains, after 800 miles of Lion Camel Ridge, and then west is the land of Pingyang.

The sound of cicadas has gradually subsided, and after passing a hill, a large river appears at the end of the sight.

Even if it is dozens of miles away, the dividing line where the sky and water meet is very clear, and the deafening sound can be faintly heard.

As we got closer, the river became even more majestic, and there was no end in sight to the past, and its scale was an inland sea for mortals, with a width of eight hundred li, and the waves in the distance seemed to be pouring down from above the nine heavens.

Everyone got out of the car, and the white dragon horse also stopped on the shore.

"Master, this river is not easy to cross, and I don't see any boatmen making a living on it. Xiong Likui walked to the river and glanced at it, turned around and said.

Zhu Bajie picked up a handful of water at this time, wanting to refresh himself, but as soon as the water sank into his hand, he found that something was wrong, "Master, the water in this river is not ordinary, it seems to be Xuanyuan's weak water, the boat can't cross, the goose feathers can't float, it seems that we can only try to fly through the air." ”

Sun Wukong looked around and found a stone tablet with moss, and saw that there were three seal characters engraved on it - quicksand river.

Seeing a small four-line true character on his abdomen, Sun Wukong opened his mouth and read: "Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths." The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. Master, this river is called the River of Quicksand!"

Xuanzang has long known the origin of this river, and there is a degraded curtain general hidden under the water, although he is a degraded immortal, but his nature is more vicious than a monster, eating countless people, and even the first nine generations of the golden cicada were swallowed by it.

Not only that, but the skull of the former ninth generation of scripture learners was also worn by him and hung around his neck to play.

Xuanzang was very curious about what the golden cicada thought at this time, he wanted to go on the road to get the Western Scripture without bringing a single protector, which obviously wanted to swallow the merit of the biggest head alone!

However, he obviously underestimated the difficulty of the westward journey for a mortal, and the first few times he may have walked to this quicksand river alone because the spirituality of the primordial god was not annihilated by reincarnation, but unfortunately every time he was eaten as food by the sand monk.

finally survived to the tenth life, and was crushed by Jiang Qiyu who crossed over and occupied the body of the newborn.

This may be the good and the evil is rewarded, the golden cicada was the six-winged cicada in his previous life, and it was the head of the five insects in the flood wilderness, the shell was as hard as fairy iron, the magic weapon was difficult to hurt, and he fed on the creatures in the six realms, and his character was greedy, and he could never eat enough.

As soon as the six-winged cicada was born, it had the power of rules, which could stimulate the desire of the birth spirit hidden in the deepest part of the heart, even the immortal gods were difficult to immune, devoured countless living beings, and the killing was not small.

However, his own karma is too heavy, the fierce greed belonging to the six-winged cicada in the Yuan Shen has not been wiped out, and he is also riddled with karma and uncertain thoughts; although he is gifted and born with the power of rules that only quasi-saints have, he has not been able to break through the realm for a long time.

Therefore, the protagonist of the eastward transmission of Buddhism chose him, one is to let him get rid of the body of the six-winged cicada, get rid of part of the karmic entanglement, and the other is to wash away the sins with the help of merit, and the merit is complete, in order to add another quasi-holy Buddha to the Buddha to increase luck.

But Buddhism didn't calculate that after the reincarnation of this golden cicada ten times, the power of the rules was also dispersed, of course, it seems that there is a Xuanmen's calculation, and this curtain general hidden in the quicksand river is the most important part of it.

These are naturally Xuanzang's cranky ideas, and the specific facts still need to be verified.

While thinking about it, the sky gradually darkened, and a few bats that came out to catch insects flew over the quicksand river by mistake.

During the day, several people have found that the sky above this section of the quicksand river seems to be a forbidden area for birds, and most of those birds dare not fly above the river, but these bats are blind, and the flight of their bodies does not rely on vision to locate them, so they seem to have come to the wrong place.

"Whoa!"

A giant palm stretched out from the river, grabbed the bat that was hunting, and then there was a "crunch" chewing sound under the water.

When the water demon was hunting, it seemed to find the people on the shore, and hurriedly swallowed the bats, and there was still dark black blood at the corner of the mouth.

With a flick of his arms, he jerked the water apart and emerged from the river.

Sun Wukong took out the golden hoop stick from his ear, "The monster is so ugly, why is it scary?"

The water demon was four or five meters tall, with explosive red hair, eyes as wide as copper bells, and a pale blue skin that was neither black nor blue, and a mouthful of sharp teeth was staring at several people with a wicked smile.

There is a white bone necklace strung with nine skulls around his neck, shirtless, his ribs are wrapped in a thin layer of skin and flesh, and there is a row of white bone spurs on his back, which looks fierce and abnormal.

"Ahaha, I can add food again tonight, I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time!Yo hoo, that little monk looks really fine skin and tender meat, it must taste very smooth!" The water demon laughed wildly after he came ashore.

"There's a bunch of Smurfs on the other side of the mountain, on the other side of the sea, hey, you big guy, are you Smurfs?"

Xuanzang walked up to the water demon and asked with a harmless smile on his face.
