Chapter 30: The Mysterious Old Taoist
Suddenly, there was a crisp sound of "swish", just when Sun Shenglong's halberd immediately cut the throat of the Golden Mastiff King, a soft force came from the neck of the Golden Mastiff King, and actually pushed Sun Shenglong's halberd out slowly, Sun Shenglong was frightened for a while, and looked at the Golden Mastiff King who also opened his eyes in disbelief, neither of them understood what was going on, just now with the performance of the Golden Mastiff King's resignation, this was definitely not done by him, and the Golden Mastiff King also knew that this was definitely not a false pretense that Sun Shenglong deliberately wanted to let go of himself.
Sure enough, just when the two were full of questions about each other, an old Taoist priest slowly walked from the other side of the hillside, saying that it was an old way, but it was a little strange, this person was wearing a gray-white simple Taoist robe, a pair of gray-black free boots, and under the silver-white hair, there was a handsome and clear face like a teenager, and his deep eyes smiled slightly, although he was not very resolute, but it seemed to contain the bearing of the whole world. The old Taoist priest took a few steps forward, and from behind him came out seven more entourages, five men and two women, all wearing gray Taoist robes, following behind the old Taoist priest.
At this time, the old Taoist priest had slowly walked to the two who were puzzled, and still said to Sun Shenglong with a smile: "There are very few living beings in the world who can obtain the essence of the sun and the moon, and it is even more rare that they can practice for a hundred years to refine the creation of heaven and earth.
"This" Sun Shenglong hesitated, he originally wanted to kill the Golden Mastiff King, but I don't know why, hearing the words of this old Taoist priest, it made him have a feeling of wanting to obey from the bottom of his heart, this feeling is very wonderful, that is, the Monkey King who made him worship infinitely before did not let him have this feeling, so he took back the halberd, stretched out his hands and said respectfully to the old Taoist: "The kid is not talented, dare to ask the Taoist chief is the famous mountain, where is the cave, may the beggar be called!"
"Haha. The old Taoist priest still looked at Sun Shenglong with a kind face and said: "The poor Taoist is a wanderer in all directions, heaven and earth are home, so I don't work to ask, but just pass by here, and see that the two of you are fighting with each other because of a disagreement, and now if you lose a life because of this, it is really not worth it, and I hereby come to tell you, besides, the Taoist heart is merciful everywhere, if you spare his life, it is also for yourself to accumulate virtue and do good." ”
After hearing this, Sun Shenglong turned his head and looked at the Golden Mastiff King hatefully, and with a "swish" sound, he put the halberd on his neck and said, "If I want to spare this person, it's okay, but he only needs to promise me one thing." ”
"Oh, what's the matter?" said the old Taoist priest, looking at Sun Shenglong with interest.
"Just let this demon turn his back to the east and west, kowtow three times to the five-fingered sacred mountain, and make amends to my great sage grandfather!" After saying a word, Sun Shenglong's eyes, which had already regained his calmness, turned a faint reddish again, and the anger of the Golden Mastiff King insulting Sun Wukong once again made the fire in his heart burn.
"Great Sage?" the old Taoist priest frowned slightly, and muttered slightly inquiringly: "But is that the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"
"Exactly!" Sun Shenglong replied loudly: "The Taoist also knows the king of my family?"
"Huh. The old Taoist priest nodded slightly: "I think that the monkey king is the body conceived by heaven and earth, the body created by the sun and the moon, and when he first came out of the world, he made trouble in the Dragon Palace, changed life and death, and then gathered to rise up, stealing peaches, stealing wine, stealing elixir, Shi Wei Shi can make trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and 100,000 heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals have never caught him.
"Don't hide from the Taoist chief, the kid is the little monkey in the Monkey King Cave in the Monkey King Cave of the Aolai Mountain Water Curtain Cave in Dongsheng Shenzhou, in the past, it was just a common beast in the mountains, it was the king of my family who passed on my method, let me cultivate the immortal Tao to have today's cultivation, just because I retreated and cultivated, and never caught up with the time when the king of my family showed off his might, and when the period expired, he broke through, but only to learn that he was pressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain because of the anti-heavenly court, and I thought that the king of my family treated me like a biological brother, and I was my teacher, so I was alone across the ocean, and wanted to go to the Five Elements Mountain to visit him, I also knew that the destiny of heaven was difficult to violate, and I did not dare to hope that my little Taoism could save him from the mountain, but just thinking of him suffering in the stone box at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, I feel guilty, as long as I can see him and say a greeting! Who knows that when I just walked to this mountain, I met this demon, and he dared to insult the king of my family! If it weren't for the face of the Taoist, I would definitely kill him this time to relieve his hatred! So, I can let him go, but he must kowtow to the west and apologize!"
"Oh!" The old Taoist priest suddenly realized, turned his head to the Golden Mastiff King and said: "You goblin too, how dare you be so arrogant? Even if he Sun Wukong is pressed on the Five Elements Mountain at this time, you shouldn't insult him like this! You only know that you have some Taoism, but you don't know that he has made a lot of trouble in the Lingxiao Hall several times, and has stolen the queen mother peach several times, and has been everywhere without shelter, and has made trouble once in thirty-three days, you go to the four seas to ask, he is the first demon in the past dynasties!"
"Alas" the Golden Mastiff King sighed: "By now, I have known that I was wrong, I didn't expect this monkey to be so desperate as me, it turned out that it was just because I scolded the king of his family." ”
Sun Shenglong heard the old Taoist priest praise Sun Wukong so much, and he became even closer to him.
The old Taoist priest thought for a while and said to the Golden Mastiff King, "In that case, why don't you go with him to the Five Elements Mountain?"
"Let's take a walk?" When the Golden Mastiff King heard this, he raised his head sharply to look at the old Taoist, and his heart went up and down, not knowing what the old Taoist wanted to do. Sun Shenglong on the side also looked at him inexplicably, wondering what the old Taoist priest was trying to do.
"Yes!" The old Taoist priest said as if he didn't care about himself: "Just imagine, there is still some distance to the Five Elements Mountain, and you monkey will not soar through the clouds, like this step by step to get there, it is inevitable that there will be more demons on the way, you spare his life now, which is equivalent to giving him a life, and it is reasonable for him to walk with you and help you along the way to the Five Elements Mountain! Wouldn't it be better if you could take him to the Five Elements Mountain and apologize to your great sage in person?"
"This" Sun Shenglong hesitated a little, he turned his head to look at the golden mastiff king with a black face who was already angry, and it was obvious in his eyes that he was unwilling to go to this troubled water.
The expression of the Golden Mastiff King The old Taoist priest also saw it in his eyes, so when Sun Shenglong didn't notice it, the old Taoist priest put his left hand behind his back without changing his face, and suddenly pinched a trick, and in an instant, a spiritual power bypassed Sun Shenglong and hit the Golden Mastiff King directly, so that the Golden Mastiff King couldn't even speak at once, and only felt that he was unconsciously pulled into another space, all sides were empty and dark, and standing in front of him was the old Taoist priest who had no expression on his face, the old Taoist priest didn't say anything, but the gray-white Taoist robe was blowing up without wind, and there was a pure righteousness between heaven and earthThe manifestation of "sudden" surrounds himself, and the spiritual power contained in this breath makes the Golden Mastiff King feel so small for the first time, even inferior to an ant.
What kind of cultivation realm is this, the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth is all-encompassing! Just for a moment, this supreme power made the Golden Mastiff King think that he had seen the Heavenly Emperor in the Heavenly Palace, who was high above and ruled the Three Realms!
"Go with him, it will be the result of this time, and the poor road will not lose you. After saying a bland and toneless sentence, the old Taoist priest slowly turned around, leaving the golden mastiff king to kneel on the ground with a "plop" sound: "Yes"
"It seems that he is very reluctant to run this errand with me?" Sun Shenglong's words were not painful, and he woke up the Golden Mastiff King, who did not know when he had already returned to reality, and he gave a cold war "poof" stood up, turned his head, and just looked at the old Taoist priest who was smiling and chanting, but at this time, the smile of this Taoist, in the eyes of the Golden Mastiff King, was as if it was the divine power of heaven and earth and could not be disobeyed, what he had experienced just now was simply terrible, this ordinary old Taoist priest actually took himself to another space without noticing, and the vast avenue orthodox Golden Mastiff King did not dare to think about it, what kind of existence is this!
Sun Shenglong on the side saw the sudden change of the Golden Mastiff King, and he couldn't understand what was going on, the Golden Mastiff King stared at the old Taoist priest as if he suddenly saw some terrible person, Sun Shenglong looked at the Golden Mastiff King curiously and then at the old Taoist, and wanted to ask what was going on. But he didn't know that in the eyes of the Golden Mastiff King at this time, the old Taoist priest in front of him was far more terrifying than what Sun Shenglong saw, even the ghost envoy from the Nine Shadows did not make him so creepy.
The old Taoist priest saw that the Golden Mastiff King didn't speak and just looked at himself, afraid that Sun Shenglong would see the clues, so he smiled and asked the Golden Mastiff King: "Are you willing to go?"
"Go, go, go, I will, will!" The golden mastiff king heard the words of the old Taoist priest as if it was a thunderbolt from the sky, and immediately nodded in agreement, and at the same time, his legs were so frightened that he almost fell to the ground, but for some reason, suddenly a force held him there steadily, making him want to kneel but couldn't kneel.
"Look. When the old Taoist priest saw that the Golden Mastiff King agreed, he turned to Sun Shenglong and said, "It seems that he is also willing to go with you for this experience!" ”
"Okay then" Sun Shenglong looked at the Golden Mastiff King with an indifferent expression: "It's just that you have to listen to me along the way!"
"Listen, listen, don't worry, sir! The little one will definitely serve well!"
"Alas," Sun Shenglong wanted to say something about the Golden Mastiff King, but he didn't know what to say, when he was about to kill him just now, he was also a hero! But now that he didn't kill him, he knew that he could have a chance to live, so why did he become such a wretch? In fact, how did Sun Shenglong know that there are some things in this world that are far more terrible than death, and just now the old Taoist priest just said to the Golden Mastiff King in another space, "Go with him, I will not lose you." This sentence didn't even have a little tone of discussion, he directly ordered the Golden Mastiff King to go, and the spiritual power of cultivation exuded by the old Taoist priest was indeed not something that the Golden Mastiff King could compete with, he could only go, and if he didn't go, he was afraid that the end would be more terrible than death.
"Haha, since that's the case, then the poor road won't bother, the two of you go slowly!" After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he stretched out his right hand and made a gesture to Sun Shenglong to ask him to leave, and at the same time glanced at the Golden Mastiff King and then moved out of the way to the west, and this glance once again made the Golden Mastiff King feel a trace of cold air from the top of his head to the soles of his feet.
"Eh, sir. The Golden Mastiff King turned his head to Sun Shenglong and said, "The Appropriate Dao Master said that you can't ride the clouds?"
"Yes," Sun Shenglong said helplessly, and he didn't bother to explain this shameful matter.
"It's better for me to show up and carry the old man away, so it's much faster than you and me traveling a long distance. After the Golden Mastiff King finished speaking, he was about to turn into a giant mastiff, in fact, he just wanted to leave this old Taoist priest with Sun Shenglong as soon as possible, he was really insecure here, and he didn't know when his life would be lost.
"Hehe, forget it. Who knew that Sun Shenglong didn't speak, but the old Taoist priest opened his mouth: "Do you know what the two treasures on his body are? What he is wearing is the innate treasure 'Flame Xuantian Armor' from the Taishang Laojun Bagua Furnace, and the one in his hand is also from the innate spiritual treasure 'Painting Pole Fang Tian Halberd' in the Dragon Palace, not to mention the divine armor, this halberd alone weighs 7,200 catties, how can you carry it? Besides, how far can you carry him with kinetic energy? Haha, you two, let's just go on the road like this! Haha!"
After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, the two of them were stunned, the Golden Mastiff King was shocked by the two immortal weapons on Sun Shenglong's body, and he only understood why his big knife couldn't hurt this monkey at this time. Sun Shenglong, on the other hand, was shocked by the eyes of the old Taoist. "How does he know about my two treasures? And it's so clear! He doesn't look like he's trying to rob my divine soldier, who is he?" A series of questions kept spinning in Sun Shenglong's mind, and with a lot of doubts, Sun Shenglong and the Golden Mastiff King set out on the road, stepping towards the unknown west.
When Sun Shenglong and the Golden Mastiff King gradually walked away, the old Taoist priest looked at the direction they left, the originally kind and stretched eyebrows were tightly wrinkled together, and the crane-haired and childish face was also faintly pale, and the seven attendant Taoist priests behind the old Taoist priest saw this, one by one, they didn't understand what they meant, they really couldn't understand these two little demons who were not worth mentioning, what was the reason why the old Taoist was so worried, and then, one of the seven people who looked calm and a little mature Taoist walked out, came to the old Taoist, he opened his mouth, as if he didn't dare to disturb the old Taoist's deep thoughts, the old Taoist turned his head to look at him, and then stretched his brows, and returned to its former solemnity.
"Master. The young Taoist priest saluted with both hands and called out respectfully and continued: "The two of them are just ordinary little demons, why is the master so light and so accommodating to him?" After speaking, the young Taoist priest lowered his head, not daring to look at the old Taoist priest's eyes again, so respectful, it is not difficult to think of what kind of majesty the old Taoist usually is.
"Alas," the old Taoist priest sighed for a while and said, "This monkey may have a big secret hidden in it!"
"So"
"Okay, no need to say more, let's return to our original position first!" After the old Taoist priest finished speaking, he shook his left hand lightly, and the "swish" disappeared in front of everyone's eyes out of thin air.
"Congratulations to the master!" After hearing the old Taoist priest's words, the seven young Taoist priests bowed down in unison, although they also knew that the master at this time could not hear their congratulations at all. Since ancient times, the Great Dao has been cultivated as "gathering to become a body, and scattering to turn into qi", but I am afraid that before their knees touch the ground, the moment when the master turns into qi, it is already thousands of miles away.
patted the dust on his body, and the seven young Taoist priests did not stop for a moment and scattered their bodies with a few "swishs", but they did not turn into true qi like the old Taoist priests, but turned into seven strange and brilliant meteors, the seven meteors were only the size of a fist, but they were of different colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Purple according to the seven palaces of the Beidou, Qi brush brush to take off, if Sun Shenglong and the Golden Mastiff King were present at this time, they would definitely be shocked, because the old Taoist priest let the seven young Taoist priests return to their original positions, and the direction of their seven people to return to the throne is not the east, west, north and south which mountain Taoist temple, but flew straight to the vast heavenly palace
