Chapter 45: The Eagle Meets the Dragon

"The flames are shining, and the ends of the earth are returning to the clouds.

Thousands of mountains and birds are noisy, looking for accommodation and casting into the forest.

The beasts are in pairs, and the Huiwo tribe is in groups.

A hook of the crescent moon breaks the dusk, and the halo of 10,000 stars shines. ”

In the westbound team, since the addition of Sun Wukong, Li Zhi has become a curious baby.

There are endless questions, as long as he can think of them, he will ask Sun Wukong, so that Brother Monkey only thinks about going everywhere.

"Little junior brother, when my grandson was learning art back then, if you had half of your heart now, maybe you wouldn't have only learned this little skill."

After the havoc in the Heavenly Palace back then, and more than 500 years under the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong is no longer the hot-headed and desperate monkey he was back then.

"Senior brother, are you still not satisfied? Who in the Three Realms, in heaven and on earth, does not know your prestige? ”

"Take the past ten days as an example, the methods you taught the little brother have made the little brother more like a 'fairy', but unfortunately, I still don't have the exercises to fly."

It has been more than ten days since I left the Marble Mountains, but I have always walked in the nameless mountains.

Fortunately, with Sun Wukong and Li Zhi here, they will neither lose their way, nor do they have to worry about any danger.

During the peaceful journey, it was just this gap that Li Zhi learned a lot from Sun Wukong.

Like what "stealth technique", "water avoidance trick", "body cleansing spell", etc., even Sun Wukong also taught Li Zhi the "Five Elements Escape Method", which can be regarded as an additional means to save life.

Sun Wukong also knew Li Zhi's true identity, which is actually not a big deal.

That is a man who once didn't even care about the Jade Emperor, the prince of a country in the mortal world, and Sun Wukong would not treat him differently.

However, while teaching Li Zhi, he let Sun Wukong pass the addiction of being a master.

It's a pity that Li Zhi's realm is too low, and Sun Wukong doesn't dare to let go every time he fights with him, and he can't fight happily.

Fortunately, Li Zhi is now regarded as an infinitely powerful existence in the same level, even if it is Sun Wukong's "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick", he can barely play twice.

It's a pity that it is far from being able to lift weights and be familiar with it like Sun Wukong.

Getting acquainted with Sun Wukong, Li Zhi finally asked the doubts in his heart.

"Senior brother, junior brother, looking at your realm, why is there only the peak of 'Xuan Immortal'? Are you seriously injured and have not recovered? ”

Li Zhi can also be regarded as a person who is proficient in medicine, but with his Taoism, he cannot explain Sun Wukong's current situation.

"Ahem, don't hide it from my junior brother, although my grandson was only a Taiyi Golden Immortal when he was the most powerful, ordinary Da Luo Jin Immortal may not be my opponent."

"Back then, I lost the gambling fight to Rulai, and I was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years.

"In this way, day after day, year after year, Lao Sun's realm is constantly falling, so that he has now fallen to the realm of the peak of Xuan Immortal."

The phenomenon described by Sun Wukong was incomprehensible to Li Zhi for the time being, but he could feel the deep loneliness in his heart.

"Senior brother, don't be discouraged, it's a long way to the west, and you and my brother just take the opportunity to practice well. The younger brother also strives to be a fairy, even if it is just a 'heavenly immortal', the senior brother will naturally be able to restore his former demeanor. ”

Li Zhi finally understood why many monsters in Sun Wukong couldn't surrender all the way to the west, and it turned out that his strength had already been greatly reduced.

Xuan Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal, that is several levels apart.

Above the Xuan Immortal is the Golden Immortal, and the Golden Immortal only arrived in the Taiyi Realm after the Golden Immortal, and the Taiyi Realm is subdivided into Taiyi True Immortal, Taiyi Xuan Immortal and Taiyi Golden Immortal.

In other words, compared with the heyday of the year, today's Monkey King has fallen to four major realms, which is completely different.

Sun Wukong is really good at the exercises, in fact, there are only three, "Seventy-two Changes of Earth Evil", "somersault clouds" and "Dapin Tianxian Jue".

And "fiery eyes", "law heaven and earth" and "incarnation outside the body" are his three most proficient supernatural powers.

After 20 years of studying art, he only knew the "Seventy-two Changes of the Earth" and "somersault clouds", and the so-called stick methods were realized by himself in countless fights.

And the "Dapin Tianxian Jue" was originally a direct exercise to Daluo, but unfortunately, the monkey was impatient and seriously polished, and he never failed to break through to Daluo.

"Little junior brother, the old grandson of the art of flying will only be 'somersault clouds', this can't be taught to you, I look at the exercises you have learned, and it may not be under the 'Great Heavenly Immortal Formula'."

"It's the 'Seventy-two Changes of the Earth', if the junior brother is interested, the old grandson can teach some, so that you can avoid the 'three disasters' when the time comes."

Li Zhi was naturally very happy, but he also understood the truth that greed could not be chewed.

He himself has a mysterious "Cangming Technique" to cultivate, and inexplicably has two more sets of gun tricks "Bloodthirsty" and "God Extermination", and there are many small spells that he has just learned from Sun Wukong.

Li Zhi deliberately selected five kinds of birds of prey that matched with the "Five Fowl Plays" to learn, that is to say, after mastering these changes, he would perform the "Five Fowl Plays" again in the future, that is, real tigers, real deer, real bears, real apes and real birds.

The method is easy to master, the key is more practice and comprehension on his own, but Li Zhi has become a cultivator for no reason, going deep into it and unable to extricate himself.

"Uncle and elder brother, we are about to walk out of the mountains and reach the place where the people gather. Many of the methods I have practiced still have some unfamiliar points that need to be practiced. ”

"In my opinion, it is better for you to go ahead first, and I will stay here for retreat. Anyway, it's the way to the west, and the senior brother can also leave some marks so that I can catch up later. ”

"It's just that the kid is a little rude to do this, and he can't serve by the side of the clan uncle all the time......"

If it is said that the name "clan uncle" was called "clan uncle" at the beginning, it was just for convenience, or because of Tang Seng and Li Shimin's brotherly friendship.

Then, after getting along for so long, Li Zhi also slowly got to know Tang Seng a little, and respected his perseverance and character very much, so it was logical for him to call "Uncle Clan".

It's not that Li Zhi is hypocritical, it's true that what he is cultivating now can't be seen by the world, otherwise it will definitely shock the world.

Who can see a tiger for a while, a black bear for a while, a fire for a while, and a water for a while?

When Li Zhi said these words, he was a little reluctant, and said that he would accompany him to the west, and he had just walked thousands of miles.

"Amitabha, Jiulang doesn't have to be like this, the poor monk is going west to learn scriptures, and you are here to increase your knowledge and practice your skills."

"Now that there is such a good opportunity, it is too late for the poor monk to be happy for you. There are few people in the empty mountains, which is just used to practice Xuangong, so you can rest assured that you are here, isn't there still your senior brother. ”

Sun Wukong also came to comfort Li Zhi, he admired Li Zhi's hard-working and studious attitude, thinking that when he encountered his favorite exercises, didn't he also practice day and night?

even gave Li Zhi a monkey hair, telling him that as long as he held this monkey hair, he would not lose their whereabouts.

Tang Seng and Sun Wukong continued westward, while Li Zhi stayed in the mountains for the time being.

......

Finding a deserted mountaintop, Li Zhi used a little means to level out an open field and set up a camp.

The "Broken Golden Pupil" scanned a radius of ten miles to make sure that there was no one around, and Li Zhi summoned the black and white boy in the sea of knowledge for the first time.

"I've seen the deityβ€”"

Looking at the two people saluting in front of him, Li Zhi felt strange.

It's like you're looking in the mirror, and it's still two at once, one black and one white.

"No need to be polite, you and I are one, don't be separated. I look at the two Taoist friends in one article and one armed outfit, why don't they each take a name for this, how about calling them 'Mowen' and 'Pure Martial Arts'? ”

"Thank you for the nameβ€”"

The black and white two young men bowed down again to thank them.

The name is just a symbol, and besides, it is given by the deity, so these two people will naturally not refuse.

"The mountains here are inaccessible, I want to cultivate here for a while, you two can also practice on the side, and at the same time protect the Dharma for me."

For his own doppelganger, Li Zhi naturally would not hide his secrets, so he passed on all the methods taught by Sun Wukong in the past ten days to Mowen and Chunwu.

The open space that Li Zhi leveled out is enough for the three of them to use, and he is now in the realm of "transforming into a god", and many methods that he suddenly learned have not had time to polish and precipitate well.

And the two clones of Mowen and Chunwu only have the realm of the late Yuan Infant, which makes Li Zhi very puzzled, is it because there are two Yuan Infants?

......

The days of cultivation are boring, and the days of cultivation are also the fastest.

When they were separated from Tang Seng and them, but at the beginning of May, it was now late autumn, and more than half a year had passed.

"Although the two of you are divided into two bodies, you have wonderfully 'one for two and two for one' in the path of cultivation, so there are pros and cons to this."

In other words, the cultivation of these two people must go hand in hand, and the cultivation of one person is bound to be shared with the other.

Looking at Mowen and Chunwu in front of him, Li Zhi was very emotional.

Half a year has passed, and these two have officially broken through the late Yuan Infant stage, and have reached the realm of "transforming gods" like him.

The most important thing is that the tacit understanding between the two of them is far better than that with Li Zhi.

Especially when the two join forces to fight the enemy, it may not be called cooperation, just like their left hand and right hand.

The two joined forces to fight with Li Zhi with their bare hands, Li Zhi was still able to play with ease, if the two used the two guns of "bloodthirsty" and "god-destroying", Li Zhi would be a little in a hurry.

He also knows how to marksmanship, but because he doesn't have a suitable blade for a while, he will suffer a lot from the black and white gun battle in the hands of Mowen and Chunwu.

Fortunately, today's Li Zhi is infinitely powerful, and he can hard-catch the marksmanship of the two with his bare hands, as long as he avoids the sharp spear head, he will not fall into disadvantage within five hundred moves.

"You two should go to the sea of my knowledge, now our cultivation is still not enough, if you encounter danger, you two can also be used as a killer weapon in case of emergency."

"Also, if you two are committed to learning guns, you might as well take a look at the high hanging gun in the sea, I always feel that it is not easy. Whatever happens, remember not to annoy it. ”

Although Li Zhi didn't know what the origin of that strange gun was, it didn't prevent him from respecting that person.

Sometimes, with that gun staying in his body, Li Zhi actually has some inexplicable peace of mind.

Half a year is enough for Li Zhi to integrate many of the methods he learned from Sun Wukong, and the second layer of the "Cangming Jue" is also more condensed, and he will not grow much if he continues to retreat.

Li Zhi went out of the nameless mountain, and it turned out that the black horse he was riding on had long since disappeared.

Li Zhi didn't care, and took a step and headed west.

Today's Li Zhi, although he does not have a special flying technique, walks on the ground, and can go out more than ten zhang in one step, and walks with all his money, and the speed will be under the galloping horse?

Five days later, he came to Chen's house.

It's a pity that the Chen family now only has two husbands and wives, and Li Zhi asked about Tang Seng and his apprentice, and Chen Laozhang sighed.

Li Zhi left them two ingots of silver, asked for the path, and went west again.

It's also amazing, every dozens of miles, the monkey hair on Li Zhi's body will flicker non-stop, according to Sun Wukong's original statement, this is a ban he set nearby.

But whenever the monkey hair in Li Zhi's hand reaches the range of ten miles of the prohibition, the monkey hair can flicker on its own, indicating that Li Zhi is not going in the wrong direction.

After walking westward for another ten days, Li Zhi reached a dangerous mountain at a speed of no less than 300 miles a day, and in early winter.

Just in time for the snow falling in the mountains, the wind is cold, the slippery and freezing Lingling, you can see the cliffs and rugged roads everywhere, and the mountains are steep and steep.

"Snake Pan Mountain Eagle Sorrowful Stream-"

Seeing that there were six big characters engraved on the highest mountain stone, Li Zhi finally knew where he had come.

Listening closely, there was a sound of water.

Turning over the two mountain beams, I finally saw that there was a waterfall hanging in front of it, there was a pool under the waterfall, thousands of waves flew and sprayed broken jade, and a flood of water roared in the breeze.

It's a pity that there is no jade dragon here, but Li Zhi can also feel the thick water spiritual power around him, which is not inferior to that in the "Hebo Mansion".

"Hey, I knew I had come here for retreat, I don't know how many times better it would be than the nameless mountain before!"

Seeing this incomparably clear stream, Li Zhi finally knew why this place was called "Eagle Sorrow Stream".

It was a special river, the water was so clear that the magpies could see their shadows when they flew over it, and they thought they were birds of the same flock, and threw themselves into the river to find their companions.

Therefore, as long as the birds fly over the river, they will be drowned in the stream, just like an inexplicable suicide, it is really a stream as its name suggests, a stream that makes eagles worry.

And Li Zhi saw the eagle sorrowful stream, but his first feeling was cold, quiet and lonely.

The valley is deep, there is nothing, only the sound of flowing water is extraordinarily loud, echoing in the valley, and it is also a magnificent sense of emptiness.

Li Zhi unconsciously sat down cross-legged, letting the snowflakes fall on his head and body, but he immediately melted away, greedily absorbing the water aura around him, and the second layer of the "Cangming Jue" was running at high speed in his body.

The wind stops, the snow stops,

Sunset, moonrise.

……

"Who are you?"

Li Zhi unconsciously meditated beside the Eagle Sorrow Stream for three days.

Suddenly, the waves in the stream were surging, and a person flew out of it and asked sharply.

This time, it can scare Li Zhi a lot, this place is obviously a borderless land, how can a person fly out?

Li Zhi fixed his eyes and saw that it was indeed a person flying, and it was a woman.

I saw that she was wearing a pink top on her upper body, a long skirt on her lower body, snow-white lotus arms, and an emerald green belt around her waist.

Wearing a hosta on his head, what Li Zhi didn't know was that this hosta could turn into a "cold ice sword" at a critical moment.

Looking at his face, he looks like he is about fifteen or sixteen years old?

Although the voice of the question was cold, he looked very handsome, and his two big eyes were fanning, even if he was questioning, he was more curious.

"This girl, who is just a passer-by below, can't help but be greedy when she sees the unique landscape here. I wonder why the girl is also here, and she is still coming out of the stream? ”

This woman has doubts, and Li Zhi is even more doubtful.

This is obviously the place where the little white dragon was punished, and the time has long been accepted by Tang Seng as a mount, how can anyone be there?

"Passerby? Here, the 'Snake Pan Mountain Eagle Sorrowful Stream' is the territory of my Dragon Clan, how did you come here as a Terran monk? ”

The woman didn't seem to be very satisfied with Li Zhi's answer, and asked aggressively.

After listening to this woman's words, Li Zhi was even more stunned.

What is "my dragon clan", is it also a dragon in front of me?

"Girl, in Xia Tang Jiulang, she was originally a person from the Tang Dynasty. Some time ago, my uncle received an apprentice here, who was Ao Lie, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, and he also witnessed the West Heaven. ”

"In this way, the third prince of Ao Lie is also considered a senior brother, I say so, I don't know if the girl is still satisfied?"

Since the other party claimed to be a member of the dragon clan, Li Zhi simply beat the snake with the stick, directly indicating his close relationship with the little white dragon, although the two have not yet met.

"What? You said you were the nephew of the Tang monk? Okay, yesβ€”"

"My aunt and grandmother can't help Tang Seng, but you are a little monk of the human race, or a monk of the 'Heavenly Leakage Body', I'm afraid you can't reach the innate realm, right?"

"My third brother was captured by your uncle to be a mount, you little monk, stay and be a pet for your aunt-"

As she spoke, the woman snorted coldly, split her left and right hands, and hit Li Zhi's face with one palm.

"Oh, the Heavenly Immortal Realm......"

Under the "Broken Delusion Golden Pupil", the cultivation realm of the woman opposite was unobstructed.

is two realms higher than Li Zhi, and it is also one of the "masters" encountered along the way so far, with a relatively small gap with Li Zhi.

"Ah, girl, girl, don't do itβ€”"

Li Zhi dodged left and right in embarrassment, and a shallow smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and no one knew what he was thinking......
