Ahh

The so-called sharpening knife does not mistake the woodcutter.

First find a gathering place for Buddhist cultivation, let Xuanzang Gou get up and develop, and then continue to travel west after having a certain amount of cultivation.... It makes sense.

Su Xingruo realized: "So my task is to protect Xuanzang's safety when he is practicing?" ”

"It's not just you, it's me."

The monkey explained: "It's just that I can't look at Xuanzang every step of the way, so I need to find another trustworthy person." ”

"Got it...."

After the monkey explained the reason for the westward journey, Su Xing officially joined the westbound team.

Karl and the old man said that they would find a human gathering place as soon as possible, redevelop their power and collect the 'black silk thread'.

Seeing that it was getting late, the two went back to their respective rooms to rest and said no more....

In the main hall.

Thinking of the plot about the Guanyin Monastery in "Journey to the West", Su Xing reminded the monkey: "Senior, this Guanyin Monastery is likely to be in danger, especially the Elder Jinchi, he is likely to make some small moves at night for the sake of that brocade robe." ”

"You don't have to worry about that."

The monkey sneered: "As long as I am here, it is impossible for a monk who has not cultivated to the Jindan stage to hurt half a hair of Xuanzang." ”

"Oh, there's more." The monkey thought for a while and said, "Since we want to work together, then don't call me senior, let's call me Brother Monkey in the future!" ”

Brother Monkey?

Su Xing was stunned when he heard this, and said strangely: "I remember, when you were trapped in the Spirit Stone Mine, didn't you always resent others treating you as a monkey?" ”

"Ahh

The monkey sneered, "After escaping from the mine, I gradually remembered the past.... My friends, brothers, and anyone younger than me basically call me that, so it doesn't matter. ”

- Since escaping from the mines in the desert underground, the monkey has not only escaped the pollution of the whispering voice of the 'spirit', but is no longer as crazy as before.

At the same time, he has recovered most of the memories of the past.

The monkey said: "When I was studying art, my teacher gave me the surname 'Sun', the name Wukong, so you can also call me the big name Sun Wukong." ”

You also say that you are not the Monkey King....

Su Xing showed an expression that was really like this, and asked, "That monkey brother, the master you learned art before was..."

"Don't say it, don't say it!"

The monkey watched left and right.

After confirming that Carl and the old man had left, he revealed a secret to Su Xing: "Do you remember the "Nine Turns of Reincarnation" I passed on to you before, right?" Although that exercise looks ordinary, it is actually a Heavenly Demon Exercise. ”

Su Xing exclaimed: "Heavenly Demon? What do you mean? ”

"I don't know."

The monkey said: "When the old man passed on the Dharma, he didn't explain to me the meaning of 'Heavenly Demon', only that the Heavenly Demon Exercise did not need to be sacrificed to the unspeakable, and that it could use any nature of 'black silk thread'.... That's why I was able to turn to Buddhism. ”

Speaking of this, the monkey smiled proudly: "I see that the path you have taken in your cultivation is neither an immortal, nor a god, nor a Buddha, and it seems that you have never sacrificed to the unspeakable, so you must have also practiced my "Nine Turns of Reincarnation", right?" ”

Practicing the Heavenly Demon Exercises, doesn't there need to be a sacrifice to the unspeakable?

Hearing the monkey's explanation, Su Xing was a little puzzled in his heart:

Just like the monkey said, he can indeed absorb the 'black silk thread' directly without sacrificing.

And whether it is the 'black silk thread' that comes from madness, faith or pain, Su Xing will not refuse.

Merely.

Su Xing was able to do this, not because he had cultivated the "Nine Turns of Reincarnation Decision", or because of some other 'Heavenly Demon Technique'.

Su Xing was born like this.

——Since the beginning of the crossing, when the Danding Sect was selling life pills, he had already been able to absorb and use the 'Black Silk Thread'.

As for the reason for this, Su Xing is unknown....

In order to hide it, Su Xing did not tell this secret to the monkey, but only defaulted to the cultivation of the "Nine Turns of Reincarnation".

While Su Xing was talking with the monkey, he saw that it had completely darkened, so they went back to Xuanzang's residence to rest....

…

Meanwhile.

Inside the Golden Pond Elder's House.

In front of the hanger, Elder Jin Chi held the candle lamp in his hand, staring intently at the 'Buddha Treasure' brocade robe in front of him, hoping to get a glimpse of the Buddha's fate from it, in order to break through the bottleneck in the later stage of foundation building.

But the Buddha is the Buddha's fate, and what is particular is the word 'edge'.

If fate has not arrived, it will be forced.

Jin Chi stayed in the room, from night to night to the third watch, and never got a glimpse of the mystery from the Buddha's robe.

Thinking that he is more than 260 years old, there is not much left to live....

Time.

The powerlessness of not being able to break through the bottleneck, the fear of death, and the coveting of the Buddha's treasure robe made the golden pond cry and can't do it by itself.

Outside.

The little monk who came to change the lamp oil at night heard Elder Jinchi's crying, so he carefully pushed the door in: "Master, you have already borrowed the Buddha treasure, why are you still so sad?" ”

Jin Chi said helplessly: "You are young so you don't know, there is often a great horror between life and death.... This Buddha robe, this is my last chance to break through, if I can't understand tonight, I'm afraid I'm going to die soon, alas! ”

The little monk said: "Master, I think that Xuanzang seems to be a good talker, if you really want to observe the Buddha treasure for a few more days, then let him stay in the temple for a few more days." ”

"It's useless."

Jin Chi shook his head and said: "If you can't understand it in one night, that is, you can't get fate, even if you do it for a few more days, there will be no change." ”

The little monk said: "If a few days are not enough, then Xuanzang will stay here forever." ”

Jin Chi knew that the little monk had bad intentions.

He shook his head and said, "Idiot, you're still in the Qi cultivation period, so you can't see it.... Although Xuanzang is easy to deal with, the hairy-faced monkey beside him is a great power in the Jindan period, and the three nobles who came to our temple today are not simple. ”

Jin Chi said with a look of despair: "As soon as I built a foundation for later stage Buddhist cultivation, I couldn't see any of them cultivating, how could we be offended by such a group of great powers?" ”

"Since you can't take it by force, then be decisive and return the robe directly!" The little monk carefully reminded: "Master, you are careful that you are attracted to this robe, if you accidentally break the precepts and become a demon, it will be worth the loss." ”

The little monk's words were not simply to scare Jin Chi.

The 'Buddha' feeds on the 'black threads' formed by suffering.

Then, in order to fight against the 'Buddha', the will of the planet will do everything possible to make human beings fall into desire and no longer feel suffering.

And these human beings who hide in their desires are the so-called 'demons' on Xiniu Hezhou.

In order not to lose oneself and degenerate into demons, Buddhist practitioners should not indulge in pleasures while practicing.

They need to constantly restrain their desires, which include murder, stealing, fornication, lies, appetite, pleasure, greed, and so on.

in the room.

Hearing the little monk's reminder, Jin Chi's face showed a sudden expression, and he was afraid: "It's so dangerous!" I did just get dressed because of this robe.... I can't break through, but I still have a few years to live, but if I become a demon, I may die immediately. ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme."

Seeing that Jin Chi was woken up by himself, the little monk also breathed a sigh of relief: "Then or, Master, give me the robe now, and I will return it to Elder Xuanzang for you!" ”
