"Master, this place is the Quicksand River."

As a pathfinder, the little white dragon had already been here, and at this moment he led the master to the shore and stood at a stone monument.

Everyone looked at the stone tablet and saw that there were three seal characters engraved on it - "quicksand river", and there was a small four-line real word cloud on the belly: "Eight hundred quicksand realms, three thousand weak water depths." The goose feathers can't float, and the reed flowers sink at the bottom. ”

The little white dragon sighed quite a lot: "This water is more vicious than the disciple's eagle stream, and it is eight hundred miles away... Master, let's fly over. ”

The four masters and apprentices are all people with advanced mana, and it is not a problem to soar through the clouds and fog.

It's just that the master made a vow, and he had to go to the west one step at a time, otherwise... Not to mention a small quicksand river, Chang'an travels back and forth from the west, and runs several times a day.

Fahai ignored the little white dragon's jokes, he watched the turbulent tide for a moment, and said: "When I was in Fuling Mountain, the Bodhisattva once said that in this quicksand river, there is a sin god who has been degraded by the heavenly court, and he is the third apprentice she prepared for the teacher. ”

"Wukong, you go and call him up for questioning." Fahai instructed the Great Sage to call people.

Before the great sage went, he asked, "Does the master want to accept him?" ”

"Just the three of you are a drag... You first call him over, and help him overcome his sins as a teacher, and free him from the pain of this daily flying sword piercing his heart. ”

"Master Sanzang who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures is here, and if the demons in the water get the guidance of the Bodhisattva, come and see them quickly!"

The Great Sage shouted on the shore, and the river was still flowing, but there was no reply inside.

He flew up, hovered over the quicksand river and shouted a few more times, and even carried the Dharma of the Buddha's lion's roar, but there was still no movement.

The Great Sage felt strange, he wanted to go into the water to find out, but he remembered his underwater skills, but now there is a junior brother who has obtained the inheritance of Tianpeng, and the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea is here, so he doesn't need to be strong, so he returned to the master and replied truthfully: "Master, the disciple has shouted for a long time, but no one has replied, so it is better to let Bajie and the little white dragon go into the water to explore." ”

The little white dragon was the most positive, and he had already begun to move his muscles and bones when he heard this.

Bajie saw that the little white dragon had moved, so he didn't fight or grab, and hid back, for fear that the master would see him and assign him a job.

How could his little action escape Fahai's ears and eyes?

"Bajie, don't be lazy, go down and take care of the little white dragon."

"Alas, alas."

Bajie sighed and agreed: "Isn't the disciple thinking about this to put the luggage in place first?" ”

He put down his burden, carried a nail rake, and came to the side of the little white dragon, and whispered: "Brother, although I have won the inheritance of Marshal Tianpeng, this underwater battle is the first time... If you encounter a powerful spirit for a while, my brother will help me more..."

He first gave Xiao Bailong a preventive shot.

Xiao Bailong is a sincere brother, patted his chest and said, "Second senior brother, don't worry. ”

Then he flew through the air, turned into a white dragon, and burrowed into the quicksand river.

Bajie followed.

The two brothers went into the water, and the great sage and the master watched from the shore.

"There is a resentment in this water, and I am afraid that the monsters in this river are not trivial." Fahai's brows furrowed slightly, and he said to the big apprentice beside him: "If the two of them are defeated for a while, causing monsters in the water to appear, don't keep your hands... Take the opportunity to hold him first. ”

The Great Sage nodded repeatedly, copied the golden hoop stick in his hand, and stared at the river intently.

Poof-

After a while, he saw Xiao Bailong and Bajie rushing out of the water one after another, and the Great Sage felt strange, because there was no fight, and the two junior disciples did not follow the pursuers.

But the expressions of these two junior brothers after landing on the ground were not quite right.

The Great Sage hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that the two of them were pale, their pupils shrunk, as if they had seen something terrifying, and asked urgently: "Bajie, little white dragon... What's beneath this quicksand river? ”

The little white dragon swallowed his throat, calmed down, and saw that the master was also coming, so he spoke: "There are corpses everywhere, countless unjust souls, among which there are nine headless corpses that are the largest. These nine headless skeletons surround a line of corpse bodies, just because there are nine skulls hanging around his neck, there is a black evil breath, colluding with it, from the nine skulls, you can vaguely see some humanoid phantoms, their faces are all the same as the master's appearance, but the face is hideous, not the Buddha... The disciple saw it clearly, it was a soulless sin immortal god body, and the second senior brother and I didn't dare to move it, so we came back first to report to the master. ”

"Amitabha." Hearing this, Fahai remembered the words of the Bodhisattva that day, and said: "I think that this sin immortal god body is the body of the curtain heavenly general; The corpses and countless souls everywhere are the evidence of his crimes of cannibalism in the past few hundred years; As for the nine headless corpses you mentioned, they were left behind after the nine generations of Shi Qian passed through this place to learn the scriptures of the previous generation... The nine skulls he hung on his chest were naturally the heads of the ninth generation of his master. Now you say that he is a walking corpse without a soul, I am afraid that it is the handiwork of the Bodhisattva. ”

Xiao Bailong and Bajie only learned about the past that day when they listened to the senior brother's chat. Now that I have heard the master talk about it, I have compared them one by one, and I only feel a chill in the back of my head.

Bajie even muttered: "Since the Bodhisattva has made a move, he will simply cross all the unjust souls under the water... Why did you take only the soul of the sinful God? ”

"Hey, hey." The Great Sage looked at the quicksand river with an unkind expression: "I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva has seen the master's supernatural powers and knows that ordinary calamities can't stop the master, so he makes it more difficult, and deliberately leaves these unjust souls and remnants to block the way when the master comes."

"Maybe it's the Bodhisattva who took the Dharma exam and wanted to see if the teacher would only transcend the demons, but forgot how to purify these unjust souls." Fahai looked at the turbulent quicksand river and said, "Wait for the teacher to go into the water and take a look." ”

"Master." Bajie stretched out his hand to stop the master, quite a bit of grievance, "I want the disciple to say, who created this sin, who will clean it up... Our master and apprentice just step on the water to cross the river, what do you care about his idle things? ”

Wukong also felt that it made sense when he heard it, and echoed on the side: "In order to set up a catastrophe for Master's westward journey, he actually did such a hurtful thing... It's just a god and a Buddha. ”

The little white dragon nodded his head, although he didn't think he should sit idly by, but... He also felt that what the senior brother and the second senior brother said was right, and also followed: "Master, you haven't seen the scene under the quicksand river, you know that it is the bottom of the quicksand river, and if you don't know, you think you went to the underworld." Obviously, the crimes of the gods were suppressed here, but the victims became passers-by for no reason, and there is no such reason in the world... This mess should be dealt with by Heaven or Yinsi. ”

Looking at the three disciples who were filled with righteous indignation, how could Fahai not be moved?

But what is the purpose of his practice of Buddhism and walking in the world?

If this can shake his Dao heart, he will not crush it into a Buddha relic that day... I have long gone to Lingshan to sit on the seat of a true Buddha.

"Amitabha."

Fahai recited a Dharma call and said to the three apprentices: "If I don't go to hell, whoever goes to hell." ”
