Chapter 176: Heaven and Earth Tribulation
"Elder Xuanzang, there are three donors, if there is nothing important, I will go back to the room to observe the Buddha treasure first."
As he spoke, Jin Chi Chang bowed to everyone present and left happily.
At the same time, Xuanzang also began to settle accounts after the autumn.
He stared at the monkey head and said angrily: "You, it's not easy enough for us to deal with demons along the way, and you still have to cause this trouble!" ”
"Don't panic."
The monkey laughed and said: "I really saw that the old monk was too jumpy, so I scared him with a brocade robe, but I didn't think that the old monk borrowed it with a lazy face.... But don't worry, Master, with me, he won't dare not pay it back if he borrowed 10,000 guts from that old monk! ”
"Alas!"
Xuanzang just sighed, and stopped saying too much.
The other side.
Hearing Xuanzang talking to the monkey, Su Xing interjected: "Dare to ask Elder Xuanzang, is it true that you just said that you have to deal with demons along the way?" ”
In "Journey to the West", most of the demons are transformed by the souls of the deceased or the cultivation of animals.
But in the birthday star, only human beings can cultivate and have spiritual wisdom.
Birds and beasts, on the other hand, can only be beasts, and they can neither open their minds nor transform into human form.
As for the souls of the dead ....
Humans on the birthday star do form souls after death, but the souls of the deceased are either devoured by the birthday ghosts, or they dissipate into invisibility shortly after leaving the body.
The human soul cannot be separated from the body for a long time, and the soul will be scattered soon after death, and there is no such thing as reincarnation.
Therefore, there should be no demons on the birthday star.
"Amitabha!"
Faced with Su Xing's question, Xuanzang recited the Buddha's name and said: "The monks don't speak, I really have to deal with demons on the road." ”
Xuanzang's side.
The monkey knew that Su Xing was from Dongsheng Shenzhou, and he didn't know much about the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou, so he explained: "Some of the demons on Xiniu Hezhou are changed by people, and some are of unknown origin, and they can't find any reason, just like the 'weird' of Dongsheng Shenzhou." ”
Su Xing nodded in understanding.
He continued to ask the monkey, "Senior, weren't you trapped in that mine before?" Why did you come to this Xiniu Hezhou? ”
"It's a long story."
The monkey said: "There is a six-character mantra in the mine, and I couldn't get out no matter what, but you tore the talisman, and the seal was loosened.... After that, I don't know who destroyed the ginseng fruit tree in the tree world, and even the seal with the mine was destroyed, and then I escaped from the ground. ”
Is it because of the ginseng fruit tree?
Isn't that the same as I released this monkey?
Although Su Xing was surprised in his heart, he forced himself to calm down and said, "What does that ginseng fruit tree have to do with the seal underground?" ”
The monkey said: "The ginseng fruit tree is the largest monster on the Dongsheng Divine Continent and the Southern Ganbu Continent.... Once something happens to it, the ground shakes, and almost everywhere will be affected, and the desert I am in is no exception, and after this seal is loosened, I will escape. ”
"As for why I came to Xiniu Hezhou...."
The monkey continued: "After I escaped from the mine, I found that the immortals of the Heavenly Court had really disappeared, and they also began to target the Jindan monks in the Dongsheng Divine Continent and the Southern Ganbu Continent, which caused me to be unable to stay in those two major continents.... So, I came all the way to this Xiniu Hezhou. ”
The Heavenly Court monitors the world and will take the initiative to target monks who have broken through to the Golden Pill stage.
At this time, Su Xing already knew.
It was precisely because of Heavenly Court that he and Carl fled all the way to the other two continents.
But there is one thing that Su Xing is not clear: "Senior, what is the situation with the 'Heavenly Court', why have all the immortals disappeared, and they have to keep targeting the Jindan monks in the lower realm?" In addition, what exactly do you mean by 'seeking demons' you just said? ”
If it were someone else, asking questions like Su Xing checking the household registration, the monkey would never answer patiently.
Su Xing and Monkey have known each other for a few years, and they are old friends.
In addition, the monkey was able to escape from the Lingshi mine because of Su Xing, so the monkey knew everything: "What is going on with those immortals, you have to go to Nantianmen and go to Heaven to know, so I don't know.... As for 'seeking Buddha', it means transmitting 'Buddha' back to Dongsheng Shenzhou. ”
Send the 'Buddha' back to Dongsheng Shenzhou?
Su Xing was puzzled: "Is there anything to say about this?" ”
"You want to know?"
The monkey did not directly answer Su Xing's question, but just stared at Su Xing and the others for a long time.
After a period of silence, he spoke: "Unexpectedly, I haven't seen you for the past few years, and you have actually cultivated in the Jindan stage." ”
Su Xing said modestly: "It's just a coincidence...."
The monkey said again: "Since you have become a monk in the Jindan period, it is better to come with me and ensure that my master Xuanzang goes to the extreme west to 'seek Buddha'." ”
Let me also go to the west?
Su Xing looked at the monkey, and felt strange in his heart.
Now that there are Xuanzang and Sun Wukong in the Journey to the West team, so if he joins at this time, won't he become the Zhu Bajie?
And in terms of income, the 'Buddha' religion of this birthday star is not as powerful as in "Journey to the West".
Even if Su Xing really went to the so-called 'Far West Land', there was no possibility of becoming a Buddha and becoming an ancestor.
Thinking that joining the westbound team was likely to be thankless, Su Xing decisively refused: "Senior, I think I'm still..."
"Don't be too busy saying no."
Before Su Xing could finish speaking, the monkey interrupted: "If my master can't ask the 'Buddha' back to Dongsheng Shenzhou and Nanganbu Continent, then the entire birthday star may die with it.... Of course, that includes you and your two friends. ”
From the monkey's mouth, Su Xing learned:
Originally, there were no unspeakable creatures on the birthday star, and there were no three types of disasters: 'weird', 'natural disasters' and 'demons'.
But tens of thousands of years ago, for some unknown reasons, there were three more indescribable names on the birthday star: 'Shou', 'Ling' and 'Buddha'.
Since then, there have been 'weird', 'natural disasters' and 'demons' above the birthday star.
Speaking of this, the monkey explained: "According to my master, the appearance of 'weird', 'natural disaster' and 'demon' is the birthday boy's rebellion against those three unspeakable. ”
The reason is simple:
An unspeakable creature that is suspected to feed on the 'black silk threads' emitted by humans.
Then, as long as we can kill all human beings and cut off the food of the indescribables, then the 'Buddha', 'spirit', and 'longevity' will also disappear.
Therefore, in order to eliminate all human beings on the birthday star, 'weird', 'natural disasters' and 'demons' came into being.
It can be said that these three calamities were born entirely due to the will of the planet.
Ten thousand years ago, when Emperor Haotian first entered the Heavenly Court, the three major calamities had not caused much harm.
But in the last few hundred years, since the immortals, gods, and Buddhas on the birthday star disappeared for no reason, the situation has become very different.
Since then, the immortal Buddha has disappeared, and disasters have occurred.
This phenomenon is known as the 'Great Tribulation of Heaven and Earth'.
