Chapter 118 Tang Seng (3) The Sword of the Great River, Playing the Eight Precepts

Bonfires are lit on the riverside, and fireworks are dancing and swaying.

The four masters and apprentices sat silently, and no one said a word for a while.

Wukong's eyes were thoughtful, Bajie's eyes were rolling, and the sand monk was chanting peacefully.

Wang Li's eyes are closed.

After a while, Bajie couldn't bear it, and moved his elbow to the side, "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey?" ”

Goku came back to his senses and stared at him silently.

Bajie was taken aback by his eyes, "Brother Monkey, why do you have such an expression?" ”

"Idiot, if you have something to say, let it go if you have a fart!"

Bajie laughed, looked at the master, and said, "Brother Monkey, why did you say that the master suddenly changed?" ”

"Where has changed?"

"Needless to say? Master, his old man has never killed a living being, but just now I saw him holding a nine-ring tin rod and knocking on the fish's head, obviously trying to knock out his brain, but unfortunately Master's strength was not enough, but he was shocked and retreated. Also, Master, he is a mortal, why did he suddenly read three scriptures and suddenly realized the cultivation method in a row? Seriously, those three scriptures, we haven't seen him read them over and over again, right? ”

The question of the Eight Precepts goes straight to the core.

But Wukong listened, but only chuckled.

"Idiot, that's a good thing."

"Brother Monkey, what do you say?"

"Hehe, Master has never been a mortal, but a holy monk, he knows Buddhism, studied the scriptures and teachings, and now he has obtained the Dharma, and he has also accumulated a lot of money, and once he had an epiphany. What's so strange? Besides, Master, he has cultivation in the future, and it will be a lot easier for you and my brother to protect him on his journey to the west to learn scriptures, not to mention the matter of eating and drinking, even if he encounters monsters, Master will not still be unable to recognize him, but will blame you and me, right? ”

This is, Sha Seng also stopped chanting, opened his eyes and said: "Second Senior Brother, Senior Brother is right, if there are monsters in the future, Master should also be able to find out the strange, so as not to misunderstand Senior Brother's fist heart again." ”

Wukong couldn't stop the smile on his face, and it did seem to be a little more relaxed.

But Bajie said unrelentingly: "Brother Monkey, Senior Brother Sha, this cultivation makes sense, but why did Master suddenly dare to kill?" I think there are still ...... questions."

Wang Li's eyes were opened, and Bajie suddenly stopped.

But seeing the glimmer of light blooming in Wang Litong, vaguely like a sword, Bajie bowed his head slightly, and felt even more strange in his heart.

The atmosphere was a little stagnant, and Sha Seng was about to make a round, but Wang Li shook his head at him.

Immediately, he picked up a stick and stabbed it twice into the fire, and the flames suddenly rose higher.

"Bajie, you like to think very much?"

Hearing this, Bajie shook his head again and again: "Master, you know me, I don't like to use my brain the most." ”

Wang Li said: "I don't think so, there are four people sitting here, you are the one who likes to use your brain the most, your intelligence is hidden, there are no traces, there are furrows in your chest, and you don't show it outside." As the saying goes, the pig's nose is inserted in the green onion to pretend to be an elephant, but when I look at your current appearance, I almost can't understand what you are pretending. ”

His tone was unwavering, his tone did not fluctuate, but his words were like a thin needle, piercing their hearts lightly.

Bajie was not stunned, just smiled, and even said with some pride in his demeanor: "Master, although my old pig is indeed wearing a pig's head now, he was also a well-known marshal of Tianpeng in the heavenly court back then, smart in his heart, and there are furrows in his chest, which is inevitable, otherwise how to lead the Tianhe Water Army?" If you don't believe it, ask Brother Monkey, he also heard the name of Marshal Tianpeng when he was in Heavenly Court, right? He winked at the monkey, apparently teasing the monkey's Bi Ma Wen official position.

However, this time, instead of being directly provoked by him, the monkey stared at him with burning eyes.

Sha Seng didn't seem to react, still ignorant.

Wang Li's eyes were casual and relaxed, and he glanced at them, and then looked at the bonfire in front of him.

"I know that sometimes pretending to be stupid is also a way to protect yourself. But if you know you need protection, why do you want to spy on others? ”

Suddenly, Bajie's heart shook violently.

Wang Li continued: "I'm sitting in front of you right now, what do you want to know? ”

Bajie shook his head quickly, his two big ears dangled, and then his eyes fell into the flames, as if he saw a certain fairy in the light and shadow.

But Wang Li didn't intend to let him get away with it.

"Before, there were things I didn't see, I just didn't think they were important. But now it's dawn on me that there are a lot of things that you can't just avoid by deliberately ignoring them. Whether you want to accept it or not, whether you want to remember it or not, it is there itself, and you may forget it once in a while, but it will stab you every now and then. ”

At this time, even the sand monk who was not very active felt wrong, and hurriedly lowered his head slightly like two senior brothers, staring at the flames intently.

"Our team, all over the world, all over the world, has only one goal, which is to learn the truth. But I now have to wonder who really wants to learn from the scriptures, and who ...... Are you messing around? ”

Wang Li paused deliberately, although he didn't look at the three people opposite, he also knew that they must have a reaction in their hearts.

"I don't care what happened in the past, but from now on, I hope that no one will be a stumbling block on our way, I ...... The wish of the poor monk is to seek the true scriptures and return to the Tang Dynasty, if anyone does not want to do it, he can leave now, and I promise to intercede with the Bodhisattva and the Buddha for him. ”

Silent.

After a while, Wang Licai spoke again: "It seems that no one wants to leave, so from now on, I hope our team can have some rules." As he spoke, he suddenly turned his head to look at the white horse who was chained to the side, "You come here too." ”

The white horse was stunned, snorted, and then turned into a young man.

In a white robe, with a golden crown on his head, his face is handsome and heroic.

"Sit." Wang Li pointed to the position next to the sand monk.

"Thank you, Master!" The little white dragon arched his hand and sat upright.

Wang Li looked at him several times.

He thought of the White Dragon Temple.

That was the real starting point of his new life, and it was also the beginning of his path, and in the White Dragon Temple, he met and knew the people of this world for the first time.

In other words, the little white dragon has a kindness to him, or cause and effect.

I just don't know which side the little white dragon belongs to now or in the future.

The positioning of the West Sea Dragon Clan is relatively Mohu, and the bias is even more ignorant, and Wang Carp can't really see it.

"From now on, you don't have to turn into a white horse again."

When the little white dragon heard this, he was immediately anxious.

But Wang Li followed and said, "You are the third prince of the Dragon King, and you are also the second to enter my door." Therefore, in the future, you will be the second disciple. ”

For a moment, the other three apprentices raised their heads at the same time.

Xiao Bailong hurriedly refused: "Master, there is no need to be like this, I ...... I can be a junior brother. ”

The three apprentices immediately looked over.

Wang Li was unmoved, his demeanor remained unchanged, and he only asked: "If you are a teacher, will no one listen?" ”

For a while, the little white dragon didn't dare to say much.

In the end, it was Wukong who laughed first: "Hehe, my grandson has another junior brother." ”

So, Bajie and Sha Seng also followed: "Senior brother! ”

The little white dragon echoed in some panic, and his face turned red, and he didn't know if it was because of excitement or fear.

Then, Wang Li said: "There are some things that the poor monk couldn't say before, but now he feels unhappy and unhappy, and he can't say it." Since you all studied under me, I think there will be some rules in the future. ”

The four of them retracted their smiles and pricked up their ears.

Wang Li raised his index finger: "I have only one request, from now on, what I say, you can do it immediately." If you don't want to listen or do it, then I can still let you go at any time, and I will never stop you, let alone force you to stay. In the same way, if you don't want to, don't stay, you are willing to torture yourself, but I don't want to be tortured by you. At the end of the day, there were only five people in the team, and I didn't want to hear two or more. Questions? ”

On this night, the scripture study team reacquainted themselves with their master, a holy monk from the Tang Dynasty.

At the same time, many immortals have also refreshed their cognition of Tang Seng.

Lingshan.

If you come to see Guanyin alone.

"Golden cicada?" Guanyin was puzzled.

Rulai shook his head: "The golden cicada has never woken up. ”

"So where did Xuanzang's change come from? The poor monk did not see any signs of his influence. ”

Rulai said with a smile: "Although the golden cicada has not woken up, the wisdom of the world is in the true spirit, Xuanzang once had an epiphany, or some instinct was awakened, and it is not surprising that his temperament has changed because of this." ”

"World-honored, will this affect the important task of learning from the scriptures?"

"Don't worry, Jin Chanzi is a poor monk disciple, and his heart is to Buddhism. In the future, Xuanzang's idea of learning scriptures will only become firmer. ”

Guanyin looked at the distant Tongtian River and said softly: "Such a poor monk is relieved, his words before really surprised the poor monk." ”

"The golden cicada is a fierce beast in the wilderness, and it has been reincarnated many times before it enters the Buddha's gate. Although his ferocity has diminished, he is still jealous and hateful. In the future, the Bodhisattva still has to ponder it. ”

Guanyin is colorful: "Receive the decree!" ”

Heaven.

In the Tongming Palace, Taibai met the Jade Emperor alone.

"Your Majesty, that Xuanzang seems to have changed."

"It's okay, even if he really turns into a golden cicada, what can he do?"

"The Nine Turns of the Golden Pill ......"

"Send! If the golden cicada can really wake up, then the future catastrophe will be more interesting. ”

"The old minister understands."

"The next calamity is Lao Jun's mount, you go and tell me, don't have an accident."

"The old minister will go to Tushi Palace."

Next.

Although the sky was bright, there was a mist on the river.

The burned bonfire was left with a pile of ash and a few pieces of reddish charcoal, and Bajie dug a pit to fill it.

Sha Seng packed his luggage, and Xiao Bailong was helping by his side, he still looked a little uncomfortable with his current identity.

Goku Hangerlang sat on a tree.

Wang Li, dressed in a brocade robe and holding a nine-ring tin staff, walked to the river.

"Master, your hat." The little white dragon chased after him with a lotus-like Pilu hat.

"No, put it away." Wang Litou waved his hand without looking back, he didn't like the feeling of wearing a Pilu hat on his head, it was better to be neat and tidy with his bare head.

Last night's rules were set temporarily.

Wang Li has six years, he naturally doesn't want anyone in the team to drag his feet, although now there is no one who is really a spy, but what he wants more is to order and prohibit, even if it is superficial obedience, Wang Li does not need them to be really convinced.

It took a total of 14 years to learn the scriptures in the West.

Before Wang Li's arrival, Tang Seng had been gone for several years, and if he worked hard, he might not be able to reach the West Heaven within six years.

Wait, little fat man, I'm here again!

He had just stepped on the water-stained pebbles with his front feet when he saw a sudden splash in the river, followed by a huge turtle shell rising to reveal an astonishingly large old turtle.

The old turtle rowed to the shore and turned into a streamer and went ashore, turning into an old man with a wooden staff on his fingers.

The face is wrinkled, the gray hair on the top of the head is thinning, and the nose is very weird.

If the real Tang Seng saw it, I was afraid that he would be startled by him.

But Wang Li, he didn't, he quietly watched the old turtle float from the river to the shore to turn into a person, his eyes were waveless, and even looked a little indifferent.

When the old turtle appeared, he looked at him secretly, and was stabbed by his gaze.

The old body hurriedly bowed down, and his words were full of gratitude: "Tongtian River Old Turtle, meet the holy monk!" ”

The old turtle's movements looked trembling, as if he was about to fall if he was not careful, but Wang Li did not have any intention of helping.

This old guy is taller than Wang Li's cultivation, even if he is indeed old, how can he be so weak? These things that can be seen at a glance are all pretended to attract sympathy and pity.

Perhaps, this old turtle has just escaped from the trap, and he still doesn't know what happened on the shore last night.

"What?"

The cold voice of inquiry entered his ears, and the old turtle was stunned.

"Holy monk, I was originally an old turtle in the river, and the water house below is also mine, many years ago, that monster suddenly came here and robbed my water house. Now the holy monk has removed the monster and returned to my house, and the old turtle should thank you! As he spoke, he really bowed down again.

Wang Li still didn't help, but said: "I understand it, this matter is just a matter of convenience." ”

But the old turtle climbed along the pole: "The holy monk did it, but it saved my life, and returned a quiet Tongtian River, in order to repay the kindness of the holy monk, I am willing to send the holy monk and apprentice across the river." ”

Wang Li's head bowed, "Are you going to carry us over?" ”

"Since this is the case, the holy monk can rest assured that the little immortal can become a little bigger."

"What do you want?"

"This ......"

"Is that any?"

"Well, yes, yes, there's a little thing. Xiaoxian heard that the Buddha of the West Heaven was born and destroyed, and he could know the past and the future. Xiaoxian has been cultivating in this Tongtian River for more than 1,300 years, and the holy monk Wanwang asked the Buddha for me to see when I would be able to achieve the right result. ”

When Wang Li heard this, he didn't say yes or no, but asked, "Can you achieve positive results, why do you ask the Buddha?" ”

The old turtle was stunned three times.

"Goku!"

"It's coming!"

Wang Lidao: "You go and ask those people to see how this old turtle was in charge of the Water Mansion back then." ”

Hearing this, Sun Wukong suddenly looked at the old turtle and smiled with his fangs.

The old turtle was startled, and hurriedly said: "Since the holy monk is unwilling, the little fairy does not dare to force it, so he will leave." ”

"Stop him." Wang Li's order, Wukong immediately threw out the golden hoop stick, and smashed into the ground behind the old turtle with a clang, blocking his way.

Wang Li smiled and said: "Old Turtle, don't be afraid, if you have meritorious service in the Shuifu, then I will definitely keep your little request in mind, and I will definitely ask for you when I arrive in the West Heaven to meet the Buddha." Of course, if you have made no achievements when you are in charge of the Water House, and even harm the people, then the poor monks cannot turn a blind eye, and they will eliminate harm for the people today, what do you say? ”

The old turtle immediately fell to his knees.

"Holy monk spare your life! When the little cactus water mansion was in the house, it never harmed any of the people! ”

"That's not doing anything?"

The old turtle trembled and did not dare to respond.

Wang Li looked at Wukong.

Wukong flashed around, and the old turtle didn't dare to leave.

Sha Seng walked over with his luggage, Xiao Bailong and Bajie were on the left and right, and the three of them were also curious to watch.

After a few moments, Goku returned, smiling coldly.

Wang Li immediately said: "In his position without seeking his own government, dereliction of duty, wanton dereliction of duty, do you think you are still worthy of living in the Tongtian River to control the water mansion?" ”

The old turtle kept kowtowing.

Wang Li looked at Sha Seng: "According to the law of the heavenly court, how should I deal with it?" ”

Sha Seng honestly recalled for a while, and then said: "When half of the cultivation is defeated, you will not become an immortal for a thousand years." ”

"Goku."

"Okay!"

The old turtle hurriedly said: "Holy monk, you are a member of Buddhism, I am an immortal of the heavenly court, how can you punish me privately?" ”

"Whether it is Buddhism or Heavenly Court, they are all sentient beings, and I will punish you today, not for Buddhism, not for Heaven, but for the people on both sides of the 800-mile Tongtian River!"

is still the same sentence, no matter what identity Wang Li is or what realm he is, he is more willing to stand on the side of ordinary mortals.

Not only because mortals are the foundation of heaven and earth, the source of the Immortal Sect, but also because he has been a mortal who has no gods in his life, but also because he knows that he can have today because of luck, otherwise he is still a mortal, and even in the future, if things are uncertain, he may become a mortal.

He only hoped that if he returned to the mortal world one day, there would be one or more cultivators in the world who thought of mortals as he did now.

The monkey moved, the old turtle could not escape, there was no way to avoid it, after a miserable scream, the cultivation fell halfway, and suddenly it was really trembling and weak, and his face instantly decayed, and the little hair that was left also fell out a lot.

"Whether you can become an immortal or not, I can't control, but I believe that with your old turtle's lifespan, there should be no problem in rebuilding it. After only 1,300 years of cultivation, you have to ask the Buddha when you will achieve the right result, why don't you let me ask when God will make you a saint? ”

As soon as Wang Li finished speaking, Bajie immediately panicked and said, "Master be cautious!" ”

Wang Li waved his hand, and there was no purple thunder in the sky.

"Wukong, you send him farther away, and don't allow him to go back to Tongtianhe. Others, waiting by the river, wanted to go down to the river for a look. ”

"Master, no!" Suddenly, a group of people stopped them.

Wang Li glanced back, and when his eyes came, he shut up one after another.

"Wait, Xiaobai, you go to the nearby villages and tell them that there will be no need for virgin sacrifices in the future."

"Yes, Master!"

The white dragon took the order and left, and Wang Li went down to the river.

Straight down, the light dimmed, and after a while, the bottom of the river showed a bright light again.

Wang Li saw the panicked little monsters, and he didn't pay much attention to them, standing outside the water mansion, and his talent unfolded.

【Shangqing Kendo Dao Rhyme】.

Needless to say, the origin of the Tongtian River would not have dared to add such a name to him if it were not for the fact that this river really originated from Tongtian.

The length of the 800-mile-wide Tongtian River is unknown, but it was indeed opened up by Tongtian back then, but it was not deliberate, but a sword qi that was smuggled into the flood from the chaos many years ago.

With the addition of Dao Yun, Wang Li's instantly felt a familiar breath in this river that has flowed for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years.

This sword should have been cut out of the Trapping Immortal Sword.

Because after Wang Li attracted the residual sword qi, the immortal sword shadow that guarded the sword spirit took the initiative to shake.

On the outside, you can see the wisps of red air rising from the depths of the river, which will converge into a fog in a short time, and its color is bright red like blood, and the evil atmosphere is cold, and the edge is pressing.

And the next picture was even more shocking to the countless immortal powers in the sky and the earth that almost dropped their jaws.

I saw that the blood-red sword qi was rolling and circulating, slowly but surely integrating into Wang Li's body.

The picture is as real as if it were unreal.

In the West Heavenly Spirit Mountain, Rulai finally changed his face.

In the Tongming Palace, the Jade Emperor was stunned and then laughed.

In the underworld, there was a leisurely sigh.

Wang Li didn't realize it, and while immersing himself in comprehending the residual sword qi, he quickly cultivated his own sword path from scratch.

The former was fine, but the latter looked like he had a sudden epiphany again, and then he went straight to the leap forward.

But no matter how amazing the picture is, under the influence of the saint's sword, it doesn't seem to be surprising.

This is the real intention of Wang Li.

The main goal of this trip was to experience actual combat, and his actual combat ability was mainly focused on kendo.

All the methods realized from the scriptures, regardless of rank or origin, are for the sake of supplementing the left kendo.

After all, after leaving, it was impossible for him, a disciple of Shushan, to just cast the Jizo Dharma Body and step on the golden lotus to fight, so that others would not only doubt Wang Li's identity, but also question Shushan's swordsmanship.

The sword technique operated, and the sword intent was derived in an instant, and the sword heart was condensed after a while.

At the same time, Wang Li practiced kendo from scratch for the third time, and was also able to forge a sword spirit for the third time!

This time, the sword spirit finally completely faded from the appearance of a burning stick, revealing a complete and clear sword shape!

At the same time, Wang Li's sword intent and sword intent have also been further strengthened, and the road of kendo has been greatly improved!

The river is contaminated with the breath of the sword, and the water slowly oozes out the meaning of fierceness.

The rushing forward Tongtian River suddenly resembles a flowing fairy sword.

On the bank of the river, several apprentices sensed the uncontrollable rhyme of the sword in the river, and they were dumbfounded.

Subsequently, the river was turbulent, the waves were furious, the wind and clouds surged, the wind and thunder changed, the thunder turned and fell, and the lightning was endless.

In a trance, there was a scene of apocalypse.

Sun Wukong and the little white dragon returned separately, and when they stood on the shore, they couldn't help but look at them like lightning and marvel.

"What a stabbing sword aura!" Goku evaluation.

Bajie urn sounded angrily: "Brother Monkey, shouldn't this be Master again?" ”

Xiao Bailong shook his head: "Except for Master, I can't think of anyone else." ”

Sha Seng was firm: "Master is a genius, it must be Master!" ”

Sun Wukong held the golden hoop stick and shook his head strangely: "Master practices swords? It's always a little weird. ”

Bajie said simply: "There are not many people in Buddhism who use swords, but they are ......."

"Shut up, nerd!" Sun Wukong hurriedly scolded.

Bajie didn't mean to speak, but when he yelled at him like this, he pouted aggrievedly.

"Two senior brothers, there are many people who use swords in Buddhism, such as the Dharma body of Manjushri Bodhisattva, who holds a sword in his hand, but this sword is a wisdom sword, which can cut off all ignorance and stupidity, and the five poisonous afflictions."

Wukong looked back at him: "Senior brother is very knowledgeable, and he also knows the principle of the wisdom sword." ”

Xiao Bailong shook his head: "It's all from the master's mouth over the years. ”

"The wisdom sword has a shape but no substance, and the sword in the river has both form and spirit, just like a fairy sword falling into the mortal, every drop of water has become a sword, and what the master understands is not the wisdom sword." Sha Seng said seriously.

Bajie said: "Senior Brother Ao, I will be the junior brother in the future." Master said, you are the second disciple. ”

Xiao Bailong smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Senior brother doesn't have to be like this, the disciple of the master does not dare to disobey, but I know that my own ability is not enough to be the second senior brother, so in private I am the junior brother of the three senior brothers." ”

This is the survival of the little white dragon, or rather, this is the survival of the Dragon King of the West Sea and even the Four Seas.

Be as low-key as possible, and do things in a low-key manner, and it's best that no one notices the existence of dragons. Since the first catastrophe of the flood famine, the dragon clan has been paying off its debts.

But no matter what, his words still won a lot of favor from the three of them.

Bajie also said some quite reasonable words at this time: "Senior Brother Ao, the ranking between senior brothers is only in order, what the master said is also reasonable, you get started before me, and in the future, you can be the second senior brother with peace of mind, I will be the third senior brother, and Senior Brother Sha will still be Senior Brother Sha." ”

Lao Sha smiled a little innocently: "I have another senior brother." ”

As he spoke, the river overturned, and then a column of water rose high into the air.

The water droplets are like a sword, the water flow is like a sword, and after this water column is vacated, it is directly condensed into a sword!

The blade of the sword is facing downward, and the excess torrent is pouring down, and on the hilt of the sword, Wang Lili stands solemnly.

The sword of the great river, as high as a hundred zhang, surging and tumbling over the sea.

At this time, his cultivation came to a level equal to his body.

The peak of refining and transforming the gods in the current world, that is, the primordial god realm in the later generations.

Above the sky, the clouds opened, and the fairy light condensed into a bundle, enveloping the king carp.

"Master is going to become an immortal?!" Bajie exclaimed.

"You're such a fool, look at that cloud, it's clear that someone from heaven has come!"

As Wukong said, the white clouds gradually faded, and the Tai Bai Xing came from the sky with the heavenly honor guard.

Wang Li was stunned and took the Nine Turns Golden Pill from his hand, shocked and delighted at the same time.

Although this golden pill can't be taken away, at least it seems to have an extra life to hold it in your hand now, and you can taste it in the future.

After Wang Li thanked him, Tai Baixing hurried away.

Then before he had time to think, the light of the Buddha appeared in the air.

Guanyin is here again.

"Meet Guanyin Bodhisattva."

On the lotus platform, Guanyin looked at the thin-necked white jade bottle in his hand, and a trace of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Xuanzang has brought enough surprises to Buddhism in less than a day, and they are even about to become frightened.

"Xuanzang."

"The disciple is here."

"The Nine Turns Golden Pill is a unique first-class elixir in the world, which can be brought back to life and become an immortal on the spot. Heavenly Court took this as a congratulatory gift, and it really had a heart. In the future, if you attain fruition, do not forget the cause and effect, and you will be rewarded greatly. ”

Wang Li felt that this sentence was not said to him, but more like it was said to Heavenly Court. So he immediately thought of some questions, and his eyes flickered slightly undisguisedly, directly exposed in front of Guanyin.

Seeing this, Guanyin's heart also moved, and said: "Xuanzang, what do you want to do with this nine-turn golden pill?" ”

Wang Li looked at the porcelain vase and suddenly smiled: "Since this Dan can be called the first in heaven and earth, it will be left for the future to save people's lives." ”

Guanyin's smile deepened: "You have entered the path of cultivation, and you don't want to swallow this pill?" You may not know that this pill has no effect on cultivation, and you can go straight to the realm of heavenly immortals. ”

Wang Li shook his head without hesitation, and said solemnly: "Buddhism practice, the emphasis is on the state of mind, once you have an epiphany, you will prove the fruition." The disciple's cultivation is only to eliminate the demons and defend the way, not to mention, the practice is also like the enlightenment of the Dharma. ”

"Good!" Guanyin was very satisfied with his attitude, and after a slight pause, he handed a fairy sword to Wang Li, "This sword was obtained by the poor monk by accident back then, and today you have understood the way of the sword, so I will give you protection." ”

"Thank you, Bodhisattva!"

Wang Li held the sword in both hands, and when he looked up, he saw Guanyin bowing slightly to him, and then the lotus platform turned and disappeared.

Come to think of it, at this moment, Guanyin should think that she has reached some kind of tacit understanding with him?

But in reality?

It's not that Wang Li doesn't want to take the Nine Turns Golden Pill, but it's that it's best for him to temper his actual combat ability in the Yuan Shen Realm, and at most he can't exceed the Returning Dao Realm.

Because his magic weapon "Yin and Yang Balance" could only raise him to the realm of Returning to the Dao at most, and it was still unknown whether the Heavenly Court Test would allow the use of such magic weapons.

His targets are mostly those little monsters, not the real big monsters.

Or, let those big demons willingly reduce their strength to fight against him, it depends on Wang Li's means.

Stepping on the golden lotus and breaking through the air to the shore, the sword of the great river suddenly collapsed, and the water rumbled after falling.

The cloth shoes and robe are not wet at all, holding the sword in one hand, the habitual movements are very familiar and chic, not seeing half of the past weakness, and there is a decisive and fierce air between the eyebrows and eyes.

"Let's go!"

Wukong came up with a smile and said, "Master, the road to learn scriptures, one step at a time, this river is wide, although you have cultivation, can you get by?" ”

Wang Li also responded with a smile: "Don't underestimate me." ”

Immediately, the five of them set off.

Wukong flew high, the little white dragon helped him carry the nine-ring tin staff, Bajie followed closely beside Wang Li, and the sand monk still carried the burden.

Every step under the feet of Wang Carp will give birth to a golden lotus, drain the river water, and support itself.

After walking for a while, they suddenly heard the beating of gongs and drums on the shore, and there was a faint laughter of joy and cheerfulness.

The five of them looked back, and suddenly saw the people on the shore raising their hands happily and waving their hands, as if to thank and bid them off.

Wang Li couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Wukong couldn't help but say while floating in the air: "Master, since you released me from the Five Elements Mountain, this time is the one I admire you the most. ”

Bajie never let Wukong concentrate on the front, and said in a whisper: "Master, I think so too, old pig, although it feels a little strange, but the current master is indeed much more decisive." ”

Xiao Bailong said with a smile: "I think Master should be like this, but he didn't show it in the past. ”

Sha Seng: "Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother and Third Senior Brother are all right!" ”

After crossing the river, the five of them went straight to the west.

In the past, although Tang Seng rode a horse, his body was weak and weak, and he could not rush all the time for a day; At this time, even if Wang Carp walks, but the foot is faster, occasionally starry night, he does not complain of tiredness, and others are not so faceless, even if Bajie wants to play tricks, Wang Carp only cares about moving forward and ignores him, he can only catch up in the end, repeating several times, Bajie also has no lazy thoughts.

On this day, the five people who were traveling suddenly encountered a big mountain.

The road is narrow and the cliffs are high, and the rocks are steep.

The forest is deserted and the smoke is surging, and the mountain bones are ridged and the water is clear.

Saga's towering sky, the mountains are towering and the blue sky is obstructed.

Wang Li's feet paused, and the four apprentices also stopped.

The sword light in the child is faintly white, and the wind shows his true face.

But seeing that although there was no demon wind rising in the mountains, there was no fierce soul roaring, and even wisps of fairy light suddenly appeared, which could not be concealed or concealed.

At the top of the mountain, the bird's luck rises and gathers, turning into a huge bull's head, with a golden ring on the tip of the nose, two horns bent into the sky, and a golden sharp and longer single horn on the top of the forehead, and the eyes are like the sun and the moon, and the power is really extraordinary.

This kind of immortal light flows, five-colored divine clouds, even if it is a beast body, it can't be called a demon no matter what.

Wukong stepped forward: "Master, this mountain is difficult to walk, I think it's better to ride a horse up the mountain, right?" ”

The little white dragon also said: "Master loves his disciples, and disciples should also be filial to their masters, so come to my back!" As he spoke, he was going to turn into a horse.

Wang Li waved his hand, "No need, just look at the majesty and height of this mountain, and suddenly sigh with emotion." ”

"Master, you don't know how to compose poetry, what are you feeling?" The eight precepts are all muttered.

Wang Li squinted: "I want to make a poem, you fool is afraid that you can't understand it." ”

"Why does Master always look down on my old pig?"

Ignoring his complaints, Wang Li set off for the mountain.

A group of people crossed the mountains and mountains, crossed the river and jumped over the waves, and were at the top of the mountain, but they saw the towering buildings in the col not far away, and the houses were quiet.

Wukong looked at it and was about to speak, but Wang Li had already shook his head at him slightly, Wukong knew in his heart that he had seen something, so he rolled his eyes and quietly stared at Bajie and snickered.

In a few moments they came to the col, near the succession of houses.

Wang Li took the initiative to stop.

"Wujing, put down your things and rest on the spot."

Bajie really stood up immediately.

But Wang Li didn't wait for him to speak, and said directly: "Bajie, the house in front of you stretches, if you want to come, there should be someone's house, you go to make some fasting, we will eat and then leave." ”

Suddenly, Bajie's face turned happy, and he said with a smile: "Okay, Master, you can wait here!" I'll go back when I go to the old pig! ”

Wukong turned his head and smiled, and then told him again: "Master is hungry, don't delay, go and come back quickly, remember?" ”

"I know, I don't have to turn my fate less than you, and besides, the master is giving money now!" Bajie responded twice, waved his arms, and walked away quickly in a comfortable manner.

Seeing him walk away, Wukong turned around: "Master, can you ask me to go and eat some fast?" ”

Sha Seng was stunned when he heard this: "Didn't the third senior brother go?" ”

Wang Li and Wukong looked at each other and smiled, and said, "No need, now I have already opened the valley, and I can have a meal once in a while." ”

"Well, I watched the demon wind gusting here, and the evil aura was raging, just stay here to guard the master!"

His words mean that what he sees is completely different from what Wang Li sees.

This does not mean that the fiery eyes are not as good as Wang Li's sword boy, but that the green cow must be prepared for Wukong's eyes. The fiery eyes are refined in the Laojun Dan furnace, and the green ox is Laojun's mount, so it is reasonable to take this precaution.

The little white dragon rose up with a purple gold bowl turning into a dragon, and after a while, he returned with a bowl of clear water, "Master, I have been walking for most of the day, let's drink some water." ”

Wang Li's jaw took it.

Ever since he beat him so that the little white dragon didn't have to continue to turn into a horse, the dragon has become more and more attentive. Before discovering that he had any second thoughts, Wang Li was very willing to believe in his sincerity.

After a moment's pause, the four of them suddenly listened to the mountain shake, and when they looked around, the building suddenly turned into a bottomless, black cave.

Bajie first shouted for help, but it soon turned into a very harsh and sharp pig cry one after another.

The faces of the little white dragon and the sand monk changed, and Wukong leaned back and rolled on the spot with a smile.

Wang Li sat still and smiled slightly.

"It sounds like the family is actually killing pigs. Wukong, you say, don't they know that monks can only eat vegetarians? ”

Wukong twitched with laughter: "Hahaha...... Yes, yes, yes! Master...... Haha, Master is right, this wilderness, people outside the world, maybe they don't know what a monk is? Hahahaha~"

The little white dragon saw that something was wrong at the moment, so he could only shake his head helplessly.

The sand monk reacted more slowly, and said in a panic: "No, Master! It doesn't sound like I'm killing a pig, it's like a brother's cry! ”

"Really? But it sounds like I'm killing a pig. Wang Li asked rhetorically.

Wukong said again: "Yes, yes, what Master said is right, people are killing pigs, this is to entertain us, poof...... Hahahaha! ”

Sha Seng was a little hesitant, holding his breath and listening.

After a while, he panicked even more: "No, Master, Senior Brother, you heard it wrong, it's really the voice of the Third Senior Brother!" And the house has become a cave, it must be a monster's cave! ”

Only then did Wang Li stand up in a good time.

"Maybe we really misheard, Wukong, Xiaobai, let's go, let's go up and have a look."

Wukong hurriedly came to Wang Li's side, and said as he walked, "Master, that monster has some skills, why don't I go up alone?" ”

"It's okay, Wukong, you remember, as a teacher, you will never easily risk yourself, if there is anything you don't know, you must have a plan for the teacher."

"This ...... Okay, Lao Sun remembers, no matter what, I will still try my best to protect Master. ”

The group came to the bottom of the cave, and a group of little demons with swords and scumbags immediately rushed out of the cave.

Little White Dragon and Sand Seng lit up their weapons, but Wukong and Wang Li looked at them and laughed.

After a while, another group of goblins came out of the cave surrounded by a big demon.

The skin is blue and black, there are two horns on the top of the head, there is a single horn on the forehead, a pair of cow ears are flat down, a black robe, a red cloak, but the majesty is tight.

He scolded as soon as he opened his mouth, and his voice was rough and as loud as a bell.

"Monk, what are you bringing people to my cave for? Isn't it an accomplice to the thief who stole my clothes? ”

Wukong couldn't hold back his laughter.

But Wang Li said, "You know best what I have done, aren't you waiting for me here?" ”

Such straightforward words made Qingniu stunned.

"Nonsense! I am the one-horned king of Jindou Mountain, how can I know you, a wild monk who came from nowhere?! ”

"Unicorn? Aren't you a cow? Wang Li asked again.

Immediately, Qingniu's heart tightened, and he couldn't help but think: Could it be that I was exposed?

Wang Li said again: "Since you don't know where I come from, then I will tell you that the poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures!" ”

As soon as these words came out, he didn't know how the green cow sounded, anyway, he was quite cool. I have heard Tang Seng speak these two sentences before, and many friends can't help but imitate, but today, he really said these words with Tang Seng's body and tone, which can be regarded as making up for the feelings of the past.

Before Qingniu came back to his senses, Wang Li couldn't help urging: "It's your turn!" ”

Let's put on a good show, why are you still distracted?

"Huh? Oh oh, right. Hahaha, it turns out that you are a monk from the east, I heard that eating a piece of meat from Tang Seng is white and black, and your teeth are reborn, you are uninvited today, but it is my luck! ”

Wang Li looked at his happy and arrogant appearance and nodded with satisfaction.

Seeing this, Qingniu also proudly straightened his chest.

Immediately after, Wang Li said, "I have a suggestion, do you want to listen to it?" ”

"Oh?" Qingniu was slightly suspicious, "If you tell me, I'll listen to it!" ”

"You have suppressed your cultivation to the same extent as me, and you and I will fight. If I win, you will let my apprentice go, and if I lose, I will be at your disposal, even if you eat both of me, and the poor monk will die without complaint! ”

Qingniu was stunned for a moment, and immediately laughed from the bottom of his heart.

"Hahaha, you monk, are you going to fight me alone?"

Wang Li smiled: "Yes, I'm going to fight with you!" ”
