Chapter 42: The Mysterious Guardian

Wangshan ran a dead horse.

From a distance, you can see that there is a big mountain in front of you, Tang Seng and Li Zhi slipped away all day, but they couldn't reach the foot of the mountain.

The sky turned dark again, and Tang Seng heard the sound of "cooing" in his belly, perhaps still haunting yesterday's events, and the two of them had not eaten all day.

"Uncle clan, it seems that we can't reach that mountain today, let's find a place to rest early, recharge our energy, and go west tomorrow, right?"

Li Zhidu admired Tang Seng's physical strength and toughness a little, he himself was a cultivator, and it didn't matter if he didn't drink or eat for a day.

However, today's Tang Seng is just an out-and-out mortal, and his stomach has been screaming for a long time as if he is nothing.

"Amitabha, let Jiulang worry, you can arrange it."

Li Zhi thinks in later generations, Tang Seng is ignorant of the world, these two people are together, there is no identity and status barrier, as if they are really like uncles and nephews.

At this moment, Li Zhi suddenly felt that the evil wind in front of him was not good, and then a fishy smell came.

Oops, not good-

Speaking badly, Li Zhi got up from his horse and jumped in front of Tang Seng's horse, so frightened that Tang Seng hurriedly pulled the reins of the white horse.

Before Tang Seng could ask what was going on, he saw two white-fronted tigers running from the mountain road in front of him.

The two tigers in front of them did not have the majesty of the king of beasts at all, and seemed to be followed by an extremely terrifying existence, busy like a lost dog and anxious like a fish that slipped through the net.

"Demon ...... Monster? ”

Tang Seng was still immersed in yesterday's events, and when he saw the tiger in front of him, he thought of the "General Yin" yesterday.

Li Zhi could see that although these two tigers were vicious, they were just ordinary tigers who had not yet opened their minds.

Slightly released his own coercion, and in front of him, ordinary beasts naturally couldn't get close.

Sure enough, the two white-fronted tigers with hanging eyes first saw someone in front of them, and wanted to rush over directly, but when they approached the range of coercion released by Li Zhi, they stopped sensitively.

There was coercion in front and pursuers in the back, and these two fierce tigers hurriedly used their front paws to pull only the gravel on the ground, and from time to time they let out one roar after another.

Finally, the fear behind them put more pressure on them, and the two white-fronted tigers roared and rushed towards the two of them.

"Hmph, I can't help myself-"

Seeing that the two tigers were approaching, Li Zhi didn't use any moves, but just pushed his palm forward gently, and the two forces locked the two tigers, fixing them on the ground and unable to move.

At this moment, from the direction from which the tiger came, another big man ran up.

is a big man, with a flat-top height of nine feet, which is a head taller than Tang Seng.

Ziweiwei's face hall is holding a three-strand support fork, hanging a bow from her waist, wearing a spotted leopard skin hat, wearing a cashmere robe, a lion belt around her waist, and suede boots.

The person who came first saw the two fierce tigers restrained by Li Zhi, and was slightly stunned, and the surprise in his eyes did not escape Li Zhi's eyes.

"The elder in front is polite, under Liu Boqin, he is a hunter in the mountains, and he chased two big insects in a certain family, and he didn't hurt the two, right?"

Liu Boqin saluted to Tang Seng on the white horse, but his eyes were fixed on Li Zhi standing in front of the horse.

In his eyes, Li Zhi was dressed as a scholar, and he was a thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy, but after a closer look, Liu Boqin's eyebrows furrowed.

Liu Boqin was looking at Li Zhi, and Li Zhi was naturally observing Liu Boqin.

This person is dressed as an ordinary hunter, but his name of "Liu Boqin", Li Zhi has long been like thunder, especially the various mysterious legends about this "dragon set".

This place is located between the Shuangcha Ridge and the Liangjie Mountain, and no one knows how many years Liu Boqin has lived here.

If you really treat him as an ordinary hunter, then Li Zhi, a person from later generations, will be a little too embarrassed to be a traverser.

"Breaking the Golden Pupil" is resurrected, but unfortunately, as expected, there is nothingness.

Li Zhi immediately understood, this is also a big master.

So, who could this person be?

Who is strong enough to protect the person under the mountain in the west for hundreds of years as a mortal here?

"Amitabha, the donor doesn't need to be polite, fortunately, there are poor monks' nephews here, but there are no accidents."

Tang Seng also jumped off the horse, came to Liu Boqin, and recited the Buddha's name.

At this time, Li Zhi had already withdrawn his coercion, but the two fierce tigers were still obediently staying, not daring to move the place at all.

"Hmph, it's cheap for you two evil animals today, why don't you get out of here-"

Maybe it was because these two tigers were restrained by Li Zhi, or maybe it was because he saw Tang Seng, a monk, Liu Boqin rarely let go of those two tigers.

The two tigers seemed to be able to understand Liu Boqin's scolding, bent their waists, carefully wiped past Tang Seng and Li Zhi, and then ran away.

"Dare to ask where the elder came from, and where is this going?"

Seeing that the two tigers had run away, Liu Boqin came to Tang Seng again and asked.

"The poor monk Tang Sanzang came from Chang'an and was sent by our emperor to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures in the Da Lei Yin Temple of West Tianling Mountain."

"Oh, it's a monk from Chang'an, disrespectful, disrespectful! The mountain in front is called the 'Two Realms Mountain', which is still the land of my Tang Dynasty, and after the 'Two Realms Mountain', you will reach Tartary. ”

"If it's late today, a certain family lives in a mountain village not far away, and my mother is also a believer in Buddhism, why don't the holy monks go to the cold house for one night, and then get up early tomorrow morning and go west?"

Xu hadn't seen anyone for a long time, and Liu Boqin seemed very excited.

"In that case, the poor monks and nephews will be bothered."

Liu Boqin led the way on foot, Tang Seng and Li Zhi rode on horses, although the mountain road was narrow but stable, Liu Boqin's pace was not slower than that of a galloping horse.

Turning a mountain beam, I saw a mountain villa in front of me, towering ancient trees, barren vines, said to be a mountain villa but only one family.

The manor covers an area of not small, the front and back can not see the length of the length, the left and right are wide and the bottom is dozens of zhang long.

There is a black gate in the center, maybe the people of the mountains and fields are not very particular, there is no plaque on the gate, and on the side of the gate, there is a thin dog lying down?

Seeing Liu Boqin coming, the thin dog hurriedly stepped forward and wagged his tail around Liu Boqin and begged for mercy.

Li Zhi was stunned again, not because there was this abrupt mountain villa in the col, but because of the thin dog.

A thin dog, it turned out to be the realm of Xuan Immortals?

Li Zhi is now a cultivator in the Yuan Infant Stage, and his "Delusional Golden Pupil" can only see the existence within five realms of him, and the Xuan Immortal Realm is just five realms higher than him.

A thin dog is a Xuan Immortal Realm, which makes Li Zhi very frustrated.

The fine dog seemed to sense Li Zhi's prying eyes, and as soon as he raised his head, a bright light was released from his eyes, and Liu Boqin hurriedly stepped forward and let the fine dog walk away without a trace.

"Holy monk, please, this is the humble house, there are still tiger meat and bear paws saved yesterday, just so that the holy monk can also fight tooth sacrifices."

I don't know if Liu Boqin did this on purpose, and he didn't notice the surprise on Tang Seng's face, two people who looked like domestic servants walked out of the door and led their horses down.

Even though it was dark, Tang Seng was still startled by the appearance of the two domestic servants, one with a full face, short eyes and short mustaches, and the other with a pimple bag on his head.

After three courtyards, I entered a hall.

"Mother, a guest is coming, what delicious food have you prepared? ——”

After a while, an old woman walked out.

Liu Boqin's appearance can't tell the specific age, and the old woman in front of him, whom he calls his mother, looks like she is only fifty or sixty years old at most.

The hair has turned gray, but it is full of red light, although he is not wearing silk and satin, he walked out of the inner house, and he is also full of manners, faintly with everyone's demeanor.

"What am I yelling about? Who will come here in the deep mountains and ravines? ”

The voice was very steady, with a smile on his face, and as he spoke, he saw Tang Seng and Li Zhi who walked in the door.

"Ah, there is really a distinguished guest coming to the door, or is it a Buddhist holy monk? The little woman's words were conflicting, and she also hoped that the holy monk would have a lot of sea. ”

The old woman was straightforward, and when she saw Tang Seng at a glance, she immediately said her words of guilt.

"Amitabha, don't be like this for the female benefactor. The poor monk Tang Sanzang came from Chang'an, sent by our emperor, to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures in the Daleiyin Temple of West Tianling Mountain. ”

"Lu Yu Linglang, warmly invited here, the poor monk and the nephew intend to spend the night, and go on the journey tomorrow, disturbing the female benefactor."

The more knowledgeable the old woman is, the more respectful Tang Seng becomes, clasping his hands together, and frequently saluting.

Seeing the old woman, the doubts in Li Zhi's heart increased instead of decreasing.

This old woman who was called her mother by Liu Boqin was really an ordinary mortal?

"Where did the holy monk come from? The little woman has always eaten fasting and recited the Buddha, and the holy monk passes through here, if the child has not invited the holy monk to the house, it should be the little woman who has no way to teach her son. ”

"It's just that when I saw the face of the holy monk, there was a reluctant request, I wonder if the holy monk can take a chance to help?"

The old woman seemed to have thought of something, and when she looked at Tang Seng again, her eyes were full of joy.

"I don't know what is difficult about the female benefactor? Even if the poor monk has no power to restrain the chicken, the female benefactor has something to ask, and the poor monk should do his best. ”

Tang Seng didn't understand what the other party wanted to say, but in the face of such a polite person, Tang Seng was unwilling to refuse her bluntly.

"Tomorrow happens to be the death day of the late husband, the little woman wants to ask the holy monk to stay here for one more day, to chant for the late husband, he has been dead for many years, and I don't know if it is cold over there."

The old woman muttered to herself, her eyes full of infinite sorrow.

"Amitabha, this is a matter within the poor monk's share, don't work for the female donor to invite, tomorrow the poor monk will chant sutras for the husband."

The old woman thanked each other again and again, and cooked in person, and made a table of vegetarian feasts for Tang Seng, but Li Zhi was invited by Liu Boqin and opened another table of banquets.

"I look at the little brother's heavenly court, the earth pavilion is round, and there is a faint dragon and phoenix capital, I don't know what the little brother is called? Is it really Elder Tang's nephew? ”

The two sat opposite each other, there were not many dishes, but they were really tiger meat and bear paws, Li Zhi sighed secretly in his heart.

I was in the emperor's house in this life, but I never ate tiger meat or bear paws, and it was even more impossible in the future life.

"Under the surname Li Mingzhi, he was the ninth son of His Majesty the Tang Emperor and was named the King of Jin. Master Xuanzang traveled west to learn scriptures, and he intended to increase his knowledge, and the master became a brother with his father, and gave the surname Tang Sanzang. ”

"It's convenient to go out to do things, and I also take one of my own names as 'Tang Jiulang' in Xia, so it's not an exaggeration to say that I am the nephew of the mage."

Facing Liu Boqin, Li Zhi didn't hide anything, and said 1510.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect the little brother to be such an honest person, interesting, interestingβ€”β€”"

Liu Boqin listened to Li Zhi's words, and was not surprised, and second, he was not frightened by his identity, but laughed "haha".

hurriedly beckoned Li Zhi to eat, hesitated, turned around and left the table, and took a pot of wine from the room.

"A certain family does not respect your title of king of Jin, just for the honesty of Fang Cai, you are qualified to drink this pot of wine from a certain family."

Liu Boqin put two wine glasses on the table, and each person poured a glass full of wine.

"This is? …… How can it be so fragrant? ”

Although Li Zhi was only more than thirteen years old, he had already started drinking a few years ago.

Datang is not strict in this regard, not to mention, his psychological age is probably in his forties.

Li Zhigui is the king of Jin, and he is also a very person in his daily interactions, but he has never seen such a fragrant and pleasant wine, and it seems that smelling it can sublimate his whole body and mind.

"Little brother, I see that you are a 'Heavenly Leaky Body', but you can cultivate to the Yuanying realm, which is also a rare thing. Although this wine is also expensive, the most important thing is that it is good for your current condition. ”

"Although the 'Heavenly Leaky Body' can cover your realm for a while, however, when you meet someone with great skills, or someone who has cultivated eye powers, you can see through everything about you."

"There is a medicine in this wine, which can strengthen the appearance of your 'Heavenly Leaky Body', I think under the quasi-saint, few people should be able to see through you again."

"Besides, your breakthrough is imminent, drink this pot of wine to ensure that you break through to the realm of 'transforming gods' steadily."

Liu Boqin picked up his wine glass, signaled to Li Zhi slightly, raised his neck and drank it, and then showed the bottom of the glass.

Li Zhi glanced at the wine in front of him, and then looked at Liu Boqin's appearance as if he was smiling, and secretly gritted his teeth without hesitation, and drank it directly.

Sure enough, as this glass of wine entered his throat, a cold cold air swam in the internal organs, and finally converged in the sea of knowledge.

Among the black and white primordial infants, the white primordial infant opened his mouth and swallowed the cold qi into his stomach.

In an instant, the white Yuan Ying was frozen into an ice sculpture, so transparent that you could see his internal organs.

Seeing this, the black Yuanying smiled slightly, and stretched out his hands to hold a pair of ice hands of the white Yuanying.

Slowly, the ice sculpture melted, raising layers of cold smoke, but it was wrapping around the black and white binary baby until it was completely enveloped.

At this time, Li Zhi had already meditated cross-legged on the spot, meditating and concentrating, concentrating all his mind to deal with the changes in the sea of consciousness.

Liu Boqin on the side saw it, and still ate the dishes on the table by himself, it seemed that Li Zhi's reaction was completely in his expectation.

After about a quarter of an hour, Li Zhi opened his eyes again.

"Brother Liu, do you still have such wine, it seems that ...... It seems that it is still a little bit away from breaking through to the 'Transformation God' realm. ”

Li Zhi asked with a little embarrassment, but his words were also full of expectation.

It turned out that in Li Zhi's sea of knowledge, when the black and white Yuanying was clearly revealed again, the realms of both had been improved, but they only reached the great consummation of the late stage of the "Yuanying", and did not break through to the realm of "turning into gods".

"This ...... How is this possible? ——”

This time it was Liu Boqin's turn to be surprised, and he looked at Li Zhi with wide eyes.

It is true that it is still in the "Yuan Infant" period, even if it is already in the later stage of the Great Perfection, there is still one step away from "turning into a god".

Shouldn't this be?

Rao is Liu Boqin is well-informed, and he has unknown talents, but he can't get a glimpse of Li Zhi's sea of knowledge, how do you know that there are black and white babies there?

"Hey, little brother, don't hide it, this kind of wine can only pour two glasses in this pot, I knew that a certain family wouldn't drink this cup."

The current situation has made Liu Boqin a little embarrassed, but the big words have already been said, do you want to lose your own face?

"There is still an elixir here, although it is not the best, but it is also a rare thing. It's just that your current realm is too low, and if you take it rashly, I'm afraid you'll swell and die, you can ......"

Liu Boqin took out a red porcelain bottle from his arms, obviously still a little hesitant, and there was a trace of pain in his eyes.

Li Zhi took it without hesitation, and the feeling of breaking through the attempt was really uncomfortable.

didn't listen carefully to what Liu Boqin said, took the porcelain bottle, poured out the pill and swallowed it with one mouth.

With Fang Cai's glass of wine, Li Zhi now has 10,000 peace of mind about Liu Boqin, and he knows deeply that the things this person took out are definitely not found by himself with a lantern.

"Ah, why did you just swallow it? ——”

Liu Boqin was shocked and almost wanted to help, but saw that Li Zhi had already quietly refined the elixir.

"This son is really strange, can he still resist the medicinal power of the 'Xuan Xian Dan'?"

Liu Boqin stopped eating and drinking, and stared at Li Zhi without blinking.

On the one hand, he was protecting the Fa, and on the other hand, he was full of curiosity about this young boy.
