Chapter Forty-Nine: Tracing the Black Wind Mountain

Li Zhi still left the Eagle Sorrow Stream of Shepan Mountain, originally he was able to stay, and I believe that Ao Ling is also willing to see it.

Here, although it is not a famous mountain and river, for today's Li Zhi, it can be regarded as a rare feng shui treasure.

However, the young heart doesn't want to stay in one place for too long, the excitement of Journey to the West is his biggest yearning at present, not to mention, he really misses Tang Seng and Sun Wukong.

Along the route in memory, there are more secret notes left by Sun Wukong as a guide, first came to the "Li She Temple", then passed through the "Xifan Ha Xuan Kingdom", and finally arrived at the "Guanyin Temple".

At this time, the "Guanyin Temple" was under construction, and after asking a group of monks, I learned that the Tang monks and apprentices had just left two months ago.

Li Zhi's solo journey is still faster than Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, not to mention that they have to experience it one by one.

In a fire, except for the meditation room where Tang Seng lived at the time, everything else has basically been burned to ashes, most of the monks have gone to him, and some monks have stayed.

As soon as Elder Jinchi, the owner of the old courtyard, died, the Guangzhi monk who "performed outstandingly" on weekdays actually turned into the host here.

However, after the fire, most of the people left, and many belongings were also reduced to ashes, but it became difficult to rebuild the temple.

Guangzhi did not live up to his Dharma name, and he was also a person who practiced it, and in less than two months, he mobilized all the monks to go around to transform their fate.

Xu is Guanyin Bodhisattva's prestige in the world is enough, as soon as I heard that it is to rebuild the "Guanyin Temple", there are many generous people.

After raising money to buy the necessary materials, the craftsmen were ready-made, working for the Guanyin Temple, and many craftsmen said that they would not be paid, and that they would only have two full meals a day.

Now, two months have passed, the gate and courtyard wall of Guanyin Temple have been repaired first, and the Daxiong Treasure Hall is about to be completed, and even some pious pilgrims have come to worship the incense.

Li Zhi didn't stop at the Guanyin Academy, and he didn't even go to meet the Guangzhi monk, he was just a small character who couldn't get on the stage, even if he had some sinister intentions, he couldn't attract Li Zhi's attention.

It was the black bear spirit who had a back and forth with Sun Wukong, which made Li Zhi particularly interested.

Although it is said that Sun Wukong has been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and his cultivation has not advanced but retreated, the last time he was separated, Sun Wukong was only at the peak of Xuan Xian.

However, the black bear spirit seems to be a native wild demon, where did he learn such great skills?

In a spirit of curiosity, Li Zhi turned south, and twenty miles away from Guanyin Temple was the Black Wind Mountain.

It's a pity that the black bear spirit has been taken back to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and when Li Zhi came to Heifeng Mountain, all he saw was devastation.

There are remnants of mountains and rubble everywhere, and I don't know if this is the result of the battle between Sun Wukong and the black bear spirit, or is it caused by Brother Monkey's anger?

Under the "Broken Golden Pupil", Li Zhi soon found the cave of the black bear spirit.

This is the second time he has stepped into the monster cave, the last time it was the tiger cave of Shuangjialing, but it is far from being as clean and tidy as here, and there is a faint sound of Buddha.

Li Zhi remembered that the black bear essence was dedicated to the Buddha, and he had been a good neighbor with the Jinchi Elder of Guanyin Temple for more than 200 years.

The Batu Cave was already an ownerless place at this time, and Li Zhi stepped into it, but he didn't find any prohibitions.

Li Zhi glanced at the scattered weapons on the ground, although they were slightly better than those used by the mortal army, they were not even magic weapons, and they were already dilapidated, so he walked over in disregard.

This should be the main cave of the Batu Cave, and Li Zhi has walked nearly a cup of tea from the entrance of the cave, but he didn't feel any suffocation, and he didn't know what kind of ventilation treatment was done.

It's a pity that the entire cave is empty, except for the aura, Li Zhi has not found anything eye-catching.

"Hey, I didn't get anything, is it really a poor monster, or was someone got the first to get there?"

Li Zhi shook his head speechlessly, and suddenly looked at the corner of the inner cave, the soil and stones under the ground seemed to be a little loose, and even slightly undulating.

"It's actually a snake, but how can the breath be so weak?"

Li Zhi's "delusional golden pupils" can clearly see that there is a small white snake wriggling, and it seems that it is about to burrow into the ground.

As far as Li Zhi knows, there were originally three monsters in this Black Wind Mountain, and the black bear spirit was naturally the big demon king, who had a close relationship on weekdays, and there was a green wolf demon called Lingxuzi, and the other was the white flower snake spirit.

These three demons not only do not eat people, but also live in harmony with people, the black bear spirit to the Buddha, the green wolf demon called the spirit of the void, is a demon to the Tao.

And the white flower snake spirit likes to dress up as a scholar and calls himself a "white-clothed showman".

However, Li Zhi clearly remembered that except for the black bear spirit who followed Guanyin Bodhisattva, it seems that the other two monsters were beaten to death by Sun Wukong?

didn't let Li Zhi wait too long, and in the ground in the corner, a snake really came out.

It is about three feet long, with white flowers and letters.

"Dao friendly interest, do you still have the heart to come to this Batu Cave? ——”

Li Zhi withdrew the stealth technique and appeared in front of the White Flower Snake Essence, and at the same time, a fixation technique was used, and the White Flower Snake Spirit was imprisoned there.

"You...... Who are you, and how did you end up in Batu Caves? ”

It turned out that the white-flowered snake on the ground was really a white-clothed showman who had befriended the black bear monster.

At the beginning, Sun Wukong hit with a stick, and the white flower snake saw that he was invincible, and hurriedly released a virtual body of his own.

It was the snakeskin that he shed when he was transformed, and by chance, he refined a virtual body, which was regarded as an extra life.

Even so, under the Ruyi golden hoop stick, if it is really smashed, it will be destroyed.

The White Flower Snake escaped, but its cultivation has regressed significantly, and now it is only the middle stage of the "Golden Pill", which is not yet the realm of Li Zhi.

"You're the White Showman, aren't you? I can let you go, but I don't want you to play any tricks, I just have some questions for you. ”

Li Zhi naturally understands the behavior of the three demons of Black Wind Mountain very well, so he will not embarrass the other party or even put him to death like Sun Wukong.

The white snake regained its freedom, but it was still a snake, and it was too seriously injured to turn into a human form for more than two months.

"But with the immortal asking, the little demon must know everything and say everything."

The situation is stronger than people, originally the three of them were in the area of Black Wind Mountain, and they didn't have to worry about their own safety at all, but they were kind to others.

Unexpectedly, two monks who learned from the scriptures came, and the black bear king even stole their brocade robes by mistake.

In the end, the three demons of Black Wind Mountain, one dead and one injured, were taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Since then, although the white snake has not harmed people, it will no longer take the initiative to contact humans as before.

What's more, he is still a snake now, but he can speak with people, and he can't come into contact with humans in such a state.

"Your Highness has also heard about the three demons of your Black Wind Mountain, and knows that you have never done evil, otherwise you would not be so kind to you."

"I see that this cave is filled with a strong Buddha aura, is that the black bear really a person who is a Buddha? So, where did he learn that skill? ”

Invisibly, Li Zhi has already used the "Mind Technique", this series of small spells are all learned from Sun Wukong, all varied, and they can really come in handy at critical moments.

"Shangxian Rongyu, I and the Black Bear King, as well as the dead Lingxuzi Dao brother, although we are from the demon clan, we have never oppressed the weak, let alone careless of human life."

"The Black Bear King has always been a good Buddha, and many of the Buddha's principles were learned from Elder Jinchi, as for his strong skills, the little demon felt that it should also be 'passed down from generation to generation' by Elder Jinchi."

This white flower snake, when he was a child, lived in this Black Wind Mountain, at that time this place was not called Black Wind Mountain, but was called "Guanyin Ridge", echoing with the "Guanyin Temple" twenty miles away.

Later, a green wolf came from elsewhere, and the black bear spirit was the latest.

The reason why the White Flower Snake used the word "generational" was because although Elder Jin Chi had also lived for more than two hundred and seventy years, he did not have any mana.

Second, when the black bear spirit came to Guanyin Ridge, he was just a little demon who had just begun to form a pill, and his strength was far inferior to Lingxuzi and the White Flower Snake.

Unexpectedly, after the Black Bear Spirit had been dating Elder Jinchi for more than a hundred years, his cultivation and realm had broken through one after another, turning into a god, crossing the tribulation, and becoming a heavenly immortal, until he reached the realm of Xuan Immortal.

The speed of entering the country made the Lingxuzi and the white flower snake on the side envious, and since then, "Guanyin Ridge" has been changed to "Black Wind Mountain", and it seems that it is not the black bear spirit himself who proposed it.

The White Flower Snake and Lingxuzi decided that the cultivation of the Black Bear Essence was a great advancement, and it must be related to Elder Jinchi.

"Passing it on" seems more reasonable, but in place of whom?

Regarding the words of the white flower snake, Li Zhi believed ninety percent.

In the journey to the west, most of the powerful demons have a backstage, and they will not be killed by Tang monks and apprentices.

When it comes to the critical moment, the backers behind them will stand up and let their disciples, and even the mounts and servants of the nether realm become demons, just to add some tribulation to Tang Seng's westward journey.

The real purpose is to divide the merits of the Journey to the West, rescue Tang Seng and embarrass Tang Seng will also gain merit, more often than a thief shouting to catch a thief.

"Let me ask you, every time the black bear spirit meets with Elder Jinchi, does he go to the 'Guanyin Temple'? Or is there another place to go? ”

After the introduction of the white flower snake, Li Zhi still didn't hear what he wanted, and continued to ask.

"This ......"

The white flower snake hesitated a little, as if he was thinking about the past, but now that he was a snake, Li Zhi couldn't understand the expression on his face.

"Shangxian, when you say this, the little demon remembers something, behind this Batu Cave, there is still a cave, which is the place where the Black Bear King practices on weekdays."

"Once the little demon came to visit the Black Bear King, he saw him and Elder Jinchi walking out of there, maybe every time they gathered there, the Black Bear King didn't go to the Guanyin Temple very much."

Hearing this, Li Zhi's heart moved, is there a play?

"Lead the way, let's go to the black bear's practice place and have a look-"

One snake and one person, out of the Batu Cave turned back, Li Zhi stared at the white flower snake in front of him with a pair of eyes, for fear that he would suddenly play some tricks.

However, when I came to the cave in the back mountain, I didn't see any unusual movement of the white flower snake.

As everyone knows, among the three demons of Black Wind Mountain, the combat power of the White Flower Snake may be the weakest, but it is the most resourceful of the three demons.

Seeing that Li Zhi's cultivation and methods were far superior to his own, and hearing that he called himself "His Royal Highness", he must be a master with great background.

Besides, he himself wanted to know what the Black Bear King's practice place was like.

The location of the cave where the black bear practiced was naturally known to the white flower snake, but it did not have the "strength" to open the cave door.

That's right, it's "strength".

The cave where the black bear practiced was very simple from the outside, just like any other ordinary cave.

It's just that the stone gate is very special, there is no mechanism or formation set up, it is purely a broken dragon stone-like existence.

The White Flower Snake had also tried, but with his cultivation in the middle of the Xuan Immortal period at that time, he was unable to push the stone gate open.

"Shangxian, this is it, but the stone gate of this cave is too heavy, and in the entire Black Wind Mountain, only the strength of the Black Bear King can push it."

The place white flower snake was brought, and then, he could only and only wanted to watch from the sidelines to see if this young man who suddenly appeared had the ability to open the stone door.

The black mountain, a large stone gate nearly two people high, you can imagine how burly the black bear is.

Li Zhi looked at it with the "Broken Golden Pupil", and indeed did not find any mechanism and energy fluctuations, but the stone gate in front of him was three feet thick, and it seemed to be made of a whole piece of black stone?

Generous, just this whole big black stone, I'm afraid it is not something that the black bear spirit can possess and create.

"Crunch-"

Li Zhi tried it with one hand, but only staggered a gap in the stone door, and a cool breeze came from it, bringing bursts of Buddha energy.

Is there an incense altar inside?

This stone gate is indeed very heavy, Li Zhi estimated it, I am afraid that it will not weigh less than 20,000 catties, especially on Sun Wukong's Ruyi golden hoop stick.

Li Zhi's face was heavy, he didn't know if he would cause any unnecessary trouble if he really went in.

But now that they're all here, do you want to turn around and go back?

"The immortal is really powerful, the little demon admires-"

Although the cultivation of the white flower snake has regressed, the eyesight of many years is still there, the black bear essence is the existence of the peak of the Xuan Immortal, and its combat power is not inferior to the ordinary Golden Immortal Realm, so it can push the stone gate freely.

From Li Zhi's body, he could feel that the other party's cultivation should not exceed his former self, that is to say, he would not reach the Xuan Immortal Realm.

Now that he can push this stone gate with one hand, how can he not let the white flower snake admire?

It's a pity that he still thinks badly, Li Zhi not only failed to reach the Xuan Immortal Realm, but is not even a true immortal and a heavenly immortal, he is just a mid-stage cultivation of "transforming into a god".

With the characteristics of "vigorous", it is completely possible to wrestle across several levels!

The compliment of the white flower snake made Li Zhi no longer hesitate, and his hands were clasped together, "Crunch-"

"Bang-"

The large black stone door was pushed open entirely, revealing a black cave.

"Come along—"

Li Zhi turned his head to look at the white flower snake lying on the ground, and said leisurely.

"Thank you, Immortal—"

The white flower snake responded, and there was a hint of gratitude in his words.

Although there is no light in the cave, it is completely unaffected by Li Zhi, who has the "Golden Pupil of Broken Delusion", and the white flower snake, who is accustomed to walking at night.

It's just that Li Zhi still misses Ao Ling a little, to be precise, he misses Ao Ling's bowl-sized night pearl.

"Hey, why are you so tender? At that time, if she had the cheekiness to ask her for the night pearl, would she not give it to herself? ”

"Perhaps...... Possible...... To a large extent...... The other party really won't give it to himself, right? ”

……

The cave is not deep, from the entrance of the cave to the innermost part, it is only dozens of zhang long, and there are not even any twists and turns.

It's just that the entrance of the cave is normal, but when you get inside, it's a big belly, and it's actually divided into three independent quiet rooms.

The largest of them has an incense table in the center, and a large bronze incense burner is full of incense ashes, but there are no tablets or Buddha statues in sight.

There is also plenty of aura here, but this aura seems to be different from ordinary natural aura, Li Zhi has just absorbed a little, and his heart can't help but give birth to the illusion of worshipping to the west?

There are two futons on the ground, which seem to be used for daily meditation, and the material is also extraordinary, surrounded by aura, and it is still fresh.

Li Zhi didn't be polite to anyone, why did he come? With a wave of his hand, he put the pair of futons into his "storage ring".

I looked at the big bronze incense burner...... Forget it, you can't take everything, can you?

"Look, there's a word there—"

With the shouting of the white flower snake, two people above the big incense burner, six large characters are depicted, and there seem to be many small characters around each word.

"Om", "Ma", "What", "Horn", "Mi", "How", ......

Six gilded characters, is this the "six-character proverb"?
