Chapter 51: I was an infatuated guest
Without saying anything all night, Li Zhi spent it in Tang Seng's room.
The two of them didn't sleep all night, Li Zhi was practicing the "Cangming Jue", and from time to time he was still warming the seedlings of the "Sun True Fire" in the dantian, while Tang Seng was reading the scriptures under the lamp.
In this situation, Li Zhi took out the pair of futons as if offering a treasure, sat one for himself, and let Tang Seng sit on the other.
I don't know if it's an illusion, Li Zhi found that sitting on this futon and meditating, the speed of the "Cangming Jue" was actually thirty percent faster than usual.
And Tang Seng sat on the futon and watched the scriptures, I don't know if the scriptures brought to him by Li Zhi were too attractive, or the futon had a miraculous effect, he didn't close his eyes all night, and the whole person was still radiant and tireless.
"Jiulang, this scripture and this futon are all good things, where did you get them?"
Tang Seng is a monk, and he will not be attracted by external things, but this sutra and book are the things of Buddhism, but the futon allows him to have more time and more vigorous energy to study the Dharma, and he is naturally more attentive than ordinary things.
"Uncle clan, don't inquire about the origin of this sutra and futon, the sutra is naturally given to you, as for this futon, I will carry it with me, and you can use it to chant and meditate when you live every day."
It's not that Li Zhi wants to hide Tang Seng, it's just that he is afraid that if he says that these things are from the hands of monsters, Tang Seng can't figure it out anymore, but wastes this good thing in vain.
"Master, little junior brother, bad luck, bad luck, I have been waiting all night in vain, and I haven't even seen the shadow of the monster."
The sky is bright, and the snow has not stopped.
Sun Wukong pushed the door in, complained constantly, sat on the chair next to him, stood up again after a while, and walked back and forth in the room.
"Haha, why is Senior Brother so breathless? Maybe the youkai is preparing for the New Year at homeβ"
Li Zhi is naturally a joke, not to mention a monster, even if the Wusi Tibetan country here does not have a very strong concept of the New Year.
"Amitabha, Wukong, Jiulang, since you know that there are monsters making trouble here, you better find a way to get rid of them, otherwise we will go west, won't the master here continue to be persecuted by them?"
Yesterday, the old lady Gao had carefully introduced the origin of the monster in the village, and knew that although the monster was a monster, he had never harmed anyone.
In addition to admitting death in the matter of Miss Gao's family, there is nothing out of the ordinary in other aspects, so Tang Seng used the word "persecution".
"Uncle Clan, don't worry, this monster seems to be an honest person, you will wait here for a while, and my senior brother and I will take a trip to the 'Fuling Mountain Cloud Stack Cave' to meet that monster for a while."
"Fuling Mountain Cloud Stack Cave" is the address that the monster himself reported to Gao Taigong, three hundred miles southwest of Gao Laozhuang.
......
Li Zhi experienced the feeling of driving a cloud for the first time, and he was so frightened that he sat on the "somersault cloud" and didn't move at all, for fear of accidentally falling from mid-air.
"Haha, junior brother, your guts are too small, I have slowed down the speed of the 'somersault cloud' a lot, if it weren't for you, it would have been there in the blink of an eye for three hundred miles."
"Hmph, don't make fun of me, senior brother, one day the younger brother will also learn a flying technique, and he will definitely be above you's 'somersault cloud'."
Who wouldn't know how to boast about Haikou, knowing that within the Three Realms, there were very few people who could be faster than the "somersault cloud" in speed, but Li Zhi didn't want to lose his prestige verbally.
"It's supposed to be there, strange, why can't you see a little demonic energy? On the contrary, there is a trace of too clear air? β
Sun Wukong slowly descended the clouds, and the two slowly came to the foot of a big mountain.
It's a big mountain, even in winter, the mountain is not lacking in green, pine and cypress can be seen everywhere, there is a faint sound of water flowing in the depths of the mountain, not only can you not see the demonic energy, but the aura here is not comparable to the villages and towns inhabited by the human race.
It seems that it has snowed heavily not long ago, and even though the sky has cleared, the thick snow is pressing on the trees, and the occasional naughty little animals pass by, and the snow falls one after another under the collision, and suddenly bursts of snow mist rise in the trees.
Li Zhi also carried the "Broken Golden Pupil", the scene in the mountains was clear at a glance, there was indeed no demonic energy, and it revealed a sense of peace.
It seems that he is quite comfortable here, no wonder on the way to the west, he thought about going home again and again.
"Little junior brother, the monster's cave should be there, you take your time, my old grandson will go and meet him for a while-"
Before the words fell, Sun Wukong had disappeared.
Li Zhi shook his head helplessly, monkey anxious, monkey anxious, where do feelings come from?
Identifying the direction, Li Zhi can naturally feel the location of the Monster Cave Mansion, and there are still more than ten miles away from where he is.
Li Zhi didn't know how to fly, so he had to step up his feet, and he was really lucky enough to get to the second layer of the "Cangming Jue", and he could go out more than ten zhang in one step.
"Ding-ding-ding-"
When Li Zhi arrived, he saw Zheng Huan fighting between the two in the field, who else could it be that the one who was holding the stick was not Sun Wukong?
I saw Brother Monkey holding the Ruyi golden hoop stick in his hand, up and down, left and right, not at all as if he was facing a great enemy, it was just like playing.
The other person, with a black face and short hair, a long beak and big ears, wore a shuttle cloth straight jacket that was not green or blue, and actually tied a flower cloth handkerchief under his neck, and held a bright nine-tooth nail rake.
Li Zhi remembered that there was a poem describing the appearance of this gentleman, which was really realistic.
"The dirty lotus canopy hangs on the mouth, and the ears are like a fan showing golden eyes.
The fangs are as sharp as a steel file, and the long mouth is open like a brazier."
"Bi Ma Wen, you plagued monkey, you have nothing to do to break the gate of other people's caves, you will be punished-"
Not long after the two fought, Sun Wukong had already gained the upper hand, which made Li Zhi a little puzzled.
In his opinion, Sun Wukong was just a cultivator in the early stage of the Golden Immortal at this time, and the guy opposite was also in the early stage of the Golden Immortal.
The realm of the two is the same, but the black guy is a little timid when they fight.
It seems that meeting acquaintances is trouble, and the sequelae of Sun Wukong's havoc in the Heavenly Palace still leaves a mark in some people's hearts.
"Hmph, you fool, persecuting a woman from a good family, are you embarrassed to pretend to be innocent? Since you know my grandson, you should know my grandson's temper, and you must be convinced! β
Sun Wukong stopped talking, and the Ruyi golden hoop stick in his hand sped up a few points, Xu saw that the other party could recognize him, presumably he must be a person with a relationship, but the power on the stick was weakened by three points.
In the end, the black guy only had the ability to parry, and had no power to fight back, just relying on the familiarity of the terrain to circle around here.
"Little junior brother, stop this fool-"
When Sun Wukong saw Li Zhi coming over, his eyes rolled and he shouted loudly.
When the black guy heard this, he raised his eyes and saw Li Zhi walking towards him, but he didn't dare to think about it, he turned around and fled back to the cave.
Originally, he was not an opponent of Sun Wukong, but now that the monkey has another "junior brother", can he still be a good one?
In a hurry, the black guy didn't have time to check Li Zhi's cultivation, in the eyes of others, it was just a "leaky body".
"Senior brother, is this guy difficult to deal with?"
Li Zhi asked knowingly, stopped and stood still, and raised his eyes to look at the cave not far ahead.
"Cloud Stack Caveβ"
Three quaint big characters, it seems that there are a lot of years, antique, not at all like the handwriting of monsters.
"The skill is so-so, the weapon in his hand is a treasure, he actually knows my grandson, maybe it is an old acquaintance of the past, so he didn't kill him."
Sun Wukong replied.
Fang has only fought for dozens of rounds, although both sides have not exerted their full strength, Sun Wukong can feel that this demon's exercises are upright, and in terms of moves alone, compared to the previous black bear spirit, it is much more clever.
"By the way, you came back in a hurry yesterday, and there was a gift that I didn't have time to give to you for a while. I heard you say that you learned marksmanship, and when I went to the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea to drink, I asked for a weapon for you by the way. β
After speaking, Sun Wukong had an extra weapon in his hand, which was a spear.
The red barrel of the gun, the head of the gun, the barrel of the gun is engraved with white clouds, and the head of the gun is slightly raised, and there is a ball the size of a fist, but it is red gold.
"Little junior brother, how about trying this gun, the old dragon king has been distressed for a long time."
Sun Wukong casually threw the spear to Li Zhi, Li Zhi reached out and took it, and checked it in his hand, about 5,000 catties, if Li Zhi was used normally, it would be a little heavier.
"Thank you, senior brother, what a weapon, it seems to be a fire-attribute gun? Holding it in his hand, the little brother can feel its passion and arrogance, it is really a good treasure, I don't know if this gun has a name? β
said that it is a treasure, but in fact, it is just a high-grade magic weapon, not even an acquired spirit treasure, compared to the Ruyi golden hoop stick in Sun Wukong's hand, I don't know how much worse it is.
That is the treasure used by Dayu to control the water, a proper acquired merit and spiritual treasure, although it has not been able to return to the congenital after tomorrow, but it can be regarded as the number one within the Three Realms.
"Hehe, as long as the little junior brother likes it, its name is 'Dark Cloud Tyrant Sun Spear', it seems that the old dragon king has just started not long ago."
"Although it's just a high-grade magic weapon, it has fire attributes, and there are special bonuses to deal with some monsters, which is enough for you to use for a while."
Sun Wukong said, unconsciously stroking his Ruyi golden hoop stick, no matter what good weapon he is, in his eyes it can't compare to his stick.
"'Dark Cloud Domination Day'? Good name, thank you brother for the gun-"
Li Zhi pulled a spear, clenched his fists again, and officially thanked Sun Wukong.
"Hehe, when we have time, let's have a good competition, and it's important to catch that fool first."
Seeing that Li Zhi really liked it, Sun Wukong relieved himself and was glad that he didn't work in vain.
"That fat-headed and big-eared bastard, you come out for my grandson-"
Sun Wukong directly blocked the door of the "Cloud Stack Cave" and shouted inside, that arrogant arrogance, those who don't know still think he is a monster.
"Bi Ma Wen, you are nosy, you don't go to such a big place in the world, why do you want to come to my old pig to make trouble?"
Xu was scared by Sun Wukong, no matter how Sun Wukong scolded outside, the black guy just refused to come out.
The gate of the "Yunzhan Cave" has been broken by the golden hoop stick, and when you look from the outside to the inside, you can faintly find that there are several prohibitions behind the gate, and there is a pungent smell coming out.
"So that you fool can know that my grandson is now a monk who has protected the Tang Dynasty West to learn scriptures, and he happened to pass by Gao Laozhuang, three hundred miles away, and heard about you marrying a people's daughter."
"My master is a monk, so he is naturally compassionate and kind to others, and I like to catch a monster to play, so I'm not coming to you."
Sun Wukong didn't hide anything, since he wore the "Tightening Spell", he didn't look like much on the outside, but deep inside the monkey, there have been subtle changes.
Thinking back to the previous things, he felt that he was afraid that he had been calculated from the beginning, whether it was making trouble in the underworld, making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and trapping the Five Elements Mountain.
He was rescued by Tang Seng, put on the "Tight Mantra", and encountered the "Eagle Sorrowful Stream" and "Guanyin Temple", and he slowly had a trace of enlightenment in his heart.
You must know that Sun Wukong is the "Lingming Stone Monkey" in the "Four Monkeys of the Mixed World", through change, knowing the sky, knowing the location, and moving stars.
It's just that more often than not, he doesn't want to think about it, and he only does things with enthusiasm, but it is Li Zhi's appearance that makes him really feel a trace of warmth.
In the face of the foolish thing in the "Cloud Stack Cave", Sun Wukong faintly felt that this demon probably did not appear here by chance, so he directly reported his current identity.
"Youkai? You're a monster, and your whole family is a monster! You say you're protecting the people who are going west? Or is it from Datang? You can't lie to me! β
After hearing Sun Wukong finish speaking, the black guy inside had actually come to the entrance of the cave, but his heart was still a little unstable, so he didn't dare to come out directly.
"Foolish, you don't inquire, my grandson walks properly and behaves rightly, how can he ever do something that lies and deceives people?"
"This ......"
The black guy still seemed to be a little hesitant.
"The benevolent brother inside is invited, under Li Zhi, he is the ninth son of His Majesty the Tang Dynasty, and he is named King of Jin. The senior brother is indeed the great apprentice of the Tang Dynasty Westward Monk, and His Royal Highness has also come here from Chang'an, which is enough to testify. β
Li Zhi stepped forward in time to reply.
He knows the temperament of the person inside too well, looking at the rough branches, but he is very cautious in his heart.
That black guy only had time to observe Li Zhi, he was indeed a human race, and he still had a royal aura on his body, so he couldn't be wrong.
"Don't hide it from the two, my old pig was originally the 'Marshal of Tianpeng' in the sky, but he was demoted to the lower realm because he violated the rules of heaven, but he mistakenly voted for a pig's fetus, so he became what he is now."
"However, Guanyin Bodhisattva came here early, and told me that there will be a high monk in the Tang Dynasty to come, go to the West Tianling Mountain to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, and ask me to wait here for the old pig, and by the way, I will make an apprentice for him, escorting him all the way to the west and witnessing the West Heaven."
At this time, the black guy had already come out of the "Cloud Stack Cave", still holding a nine-tooth nail rake in his hand, and the clothes on his body had been torn a lot during the fight just now, which looked a little funny.
"Hahaha, that's really not a fight, you don't know each other, it turns out that we are all senior brothers, the younger brother has seen the second senior brother-"
Li Zhi is the best at coming to this set, not to mention that he has been holding back for most of the day in a fake way, and he can finally recognize each other, how can he not rush ahead?
"Senior brother, second senior brother, is it possible to drink?"
At this time, Li Zhi had already taken out three jars of fine wine from his "storage ring" one after another, all of which were five catties.
"This ...... Instructed by the Bodhisattva, my old pig has broken the 'five meat and three disgust', can I still ......?"
Canopy was a little hesitant and a little expectant.
"I said that you bastard, of course you can't drink it in front of the master, what is this behind the scenes......"
As a senior brother, Sun Wukong did not say any more, but directly replaced it with action.
"Hehe, hehe, I understand, thank you little brother. Senior brother, junior brother, come and do it-"
Outside the "Cloud Stack Cave", the three of them cleared out an open space and sat on the ground.
Well, it was still Li Zhi who was particular and sat on a futon.
"Tianpeng, since you are also the master's apprentice, after drinking, let's burn down the cave here, and then go to Gao Laozhuang to write a letter of resignation, and follow us to the west, right?"
After killing half a jar of wine, the three of them were slightly drunk.
This is not an ordinary water wine, but has been processed by Li Zhi for the second time, and it adopts the distillation technology of later generations.
The three of them didn't have the luck to fight each other, and they wanted this slightly drunk feeling.
"Senior brother, junior brother, this 'Yunzhan Cave' can be burned, and Xitian naturally wants to go, but the resignation document with Miss Gao can't be written."
Tianpeng killed five catties of distilled liquor in one go, and the whole person was red-faced, but under such a rough appearance, Li Zhi seemed to feel a soft and fragile heart?
"Second Senior Brother, why do you say this, is there anything hidden in this matter?"
Li Zhi handed his jar of wine to Tianpeng again, and his gossipy eyes betrayed his inner thoughts.
"Do you know why my old pig was relegated to the lower realm?"
"Do you know who originally owned this 'Cloud Stack Cave'?"
"Do you know who Miss Gao is?"
"Do you know that Miss Gao is now pregnant with my old pig's blood and bones......"
......
The wine on the altar was dry, and the altar fell into pieces.
It's not winter, it's just snowflakes.
