Chapter 52: Futu Meets the Black Nest
Since ancient times, there has been affection and empty hatred,
This hatred lasts forever.
......
Tianpeng has a story, it just so happens that Li Zhi has wine, maybe it's fate, maybe it's because Tianpeng hasn't had the opportunity to chat with people for many years.
The three of them actually sat in front of the door of the "Cloud Stack Cave", chattering from the previous morning until dusk.
It turns out that Tianpeng's name is Zhu Gangguan, and his full name is "Patriarch Jiutian Shangfu Wufang is in charge of the Arctic Zuoyuan, the generalissimo Tianpeng Zhenjun", who was once the head of the four saints of the North Pole and was in charge of the 80,000 sailors of Tianhe.
Zhu Gangguan was originally under the command of Emperor Ziwei, and after being in charge of the Tianhe Water Army, he was secretly wooed by the Jade Emperor many times, but unfortunately, Zhu Gangguan was never moved by it.
Not to mention the Jade Emperor, even if it is Zhu Gangguan's direct boss Emperor Ziwei, the relationship between him is only a subordinate relationship, and few people can know Zhu Gangguan's real heels, but now he is included in the Taiqing lineage.
It's a pity that everyone has weaknesses, and this pig is no exception, and his biggest weakness is "lustful", what is more terrible than lust is that a person who has cultivated in the late stage of a golden immortal will be trapped by love.
So, who does Pig Gangguan fall in love with?
The neon fairy in the Moon Palace, more precisely, is a jade rabbit.
In the same heavenly court, the two love each other, and promised each other three lives, originally Zhu Gangguan was already using his relationship, and it became a good thing to prepare jade as soon as possible.
When he heard this, Li Zhi was surprised, could it be that the rumors were wrong?
"Haha, little junior brother, you must have heard that my old pig was demoted to the mortal world because he molested Fairy Chang'e, right?"
Li Zhi's abnormal movement did not escape the eyes of Zhu Gangguan, this is already a thing of the past, and there is nothing bad to say.
"Little brother...... The younger brother is just a rumor, and he has never seen it in person, so he naturally does not praise the judgment. ”
Li Zhi was helpless, so he had to say truthfully.
"If you let the people of the Three Realms know that my old pig marshal Tianpeng is just a tryst with a small Ni Shang Gong'e, can he be demoted to the mortal?"
The pig just poured himself another sip of wine, and between the words, it was difficult to hide the desolation.
"I think you all know the final result." The one who gave my old pig a name for teasing the fairy Chang'e, and blamed two thousand hammers, knocked down the nether realm, and was seriously injured, fortunately, there was Guanyin Bodhisattva to guide me, so that I waited here to learn the scriptures. ”
mentioned "that one", Sun Wukong was also a little scolding on the side, but Li Zhi did not express any opinions.
However, Li Zhi only dared to believe half of what the seemingly honest second senior brother said in front of him, and as for the half of the reason for waiting for the person to learn the scriptures, he didn't dare to believe a word.
Li Zhi is not a native of this world, as an "outsider", he knows too well that the interests of all parties here are involved, how could he be sent to the West Heaven to learn scriptures because of the accidental phenomenon of molesting a fairy?
I don't know if the candidates who learned from the experience are the product of the competing interests and compromises of several parties, and even Li Zhi himself was added so rashly, he didn't know when he would be "kicked" out.
Although the time is uncertain, one thing must be certain, that is, he Li Zhi will not be able to reach Lingshan.
"Second Senior Brother, what about the fairy in neon clothes after you go to the lower realm?"
Since Li Zhi didn't want to believe his original intention of learning from the scriptures, he had no choice but to continue to dig deeper after Zhu Gangguan's "peach-colored incident".
"Do you know who this 'Cloud Stack Cave' belonged to in the first place?"
Zhu Gangguan did not answer Li Zhi directly, but asked this question again.
Li Zhi naturally knew the answer, but like Sun Wukong, he quietly waited for the secret of Zhu Gangguan's reveal.
"'Yunzhan Cave' is 'Second Sister Mao', that is, the Nishang Fairy was created by the demon in the lower realm, my old pig was knocked down to the mortal world, but Nishang insisted on following him, so he secretly went to the world."
"When I was in the Heavenly Palace, Ni Shang and Chang'e Fairy were the same fairies under the Taiyin Star Monarch, and they were like sisters, Chang'e Fairy was the elder, and Ni Shang was ranked second."
"When I arrived in the lower realm, Ni Shang revealed her demon body and acted in the name of 'Second Sister Mao', which is why my old pig will enter the 'Yunzhan Cave' as soon as I arrive in Fuling Mountain."
Li Zhi was completely stunned, it turned out that the well-known "Second Sister Egg" in later generations turned out to be a clerical error of "Second Sister Mao"?
That's too shocking, isn't it?
"So, where did the 'Second Sister Mao' go now? Why did you go to Gao Laozhuang to go to Miss Gao's house again? ”
Sun Wukong finally grabbed the "handle" of Zhu Gangguana, thinking to himself, you idiot are still performing "infatuation" here? How can Miss Gao be able to conceive a child?
"Hey, senior brother doesn't know, in the second year of my old pig and second sister Mao's marriage in 'Yunzhan Cave', she was arrested by someone sent by heaven."
"At that time, my old pig was seriously injured and had not recovered, and his realm had fallen to the early stage of Xuan Xian, and he was not the opponent of those heavenly generals at all, so he could only watch Second Sister Mao being arrested."
"Who knew that she went to heaven, and she would rather die than admit her guilt, and in the end, she exposed her dantian and her soul was scattered."
It was the compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva who made a move to give Second Sister Mao a chance to reincarnate. Two hundred years later, she came back, and she was born in Gao Laozhuang, three hundred miles away, with the surname Gao Cuilan......"
Pig Gangguan finally finished his story, and he breathed a long sigh of relief.
After being suppressed for so many years, Zhu Gangguan's heart was very bitter, he was powerless to fight against Heavenly Court, let alone blame his division commander, and he had to obediently continue to obey orders.
After waiting for my beloved for so many years, I can't recognize each other when I see each other again, and everything can only start again from a complete stranger.
Zhu Gangguan sought to get the two together again, but was obstructed by the world in every way, the key is that Gao Cuilan has no idea about the past, and only Zhu Gangguan is really hardworking.
Not the Chang'e fairy, but the neon dress fairy?
Nishang is the second sister Mao, the misrepresented "second sister egg"?
And after the second sister Mao was reincarnated, she was actually Gao Cuilan in Gao Laozhuang?
Li Zhi felt that with such a bizarre plot, I am afraid that future generations of bloody dramas would not dare to write like this.
"Senior brother, junior brother, do you think I can write any more 'resignation documents' for that Miss Gao?"
Li Zhi was speechless, and even Sun Wukong, who had no feelings about men and women, felt that he should no longer blame Zhu Gangguan.
……
"Alright, we're almost done drinking, and we should go back. Second Senior Brother, if you really can't bear this 'Cloud Stack Cave', just keep it. Set up some formations here, and maybe when you come back one day, you can still have a place to stay. ”
Zhu Gangguan glanced at Li Zhi gratefully, turned around and went back to arrange, and the three of them left Fuling Mountain in a cloud.
"Master, Master, we're back—"
When you go, you go fast, and when you come back, before you fall from the clouds, Sun Wukong shouted in mid-air.
Gao Laozhuang had already begun to hold the lamp, Tang Seng, Gao Taigong, Gao Cai and others heard Sun Wukong's call and hurriedly walked out of the house.
"Ah, youkai...... The youkai are back—"
They directly ignored Sun Wukong and Li Zhi, and recognized the pig gang who was accompanying them at a glance, and retreated to the house one after another, the dignity of that person is really memorable.
"Amitabha, Wukong, Jiulang, you are finally back."
Sun Wukong and Li Zhi left for a whole day, and Tang Seng was also worried for a whole day, although he believed in the skills of the two, and it was inevitable to worry about seeing that they had not returned for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of Zhu Gangguana, Tang Seng was unmoved.
As a monk, the four major are empty, and he doesn't judge people by his appearance, not to mention that he has seen some monsters after walking down for more than 10,000 miles.
Besides, Sun Wukong and Li Zhi stood with the monster, in Tang Seng's opinion, this is to capture the monster back, what else is he afraid of?
"Uncle Lian is worried, and we have been delayed in dealing with some things, but fortunately we have not been dishonored. Second Senior Brother, why don't you come over and meet Master? ——”
Li Zhi came over first to give a salute, and then flashed and exposed the pig gang behind him.
"Disciple to meet Master—"
Looking at Tang Seng's appearance, Zhu Gang knew that this must be the main master, and hurriedly put away his laziness and ferocity, and knelt down to give Tang Seng a big salute.
"This ...... Amitabha, Wukong, Jiulang, why does he worship me? ”
At this time, the pig was stunned.
"Master doesn't know, this nerd, like my grandson, was also instructed by Guanyin Bodhisattva, waiting for the master here, protecting the master to learn scriptures from the west."
"Master, disciple Zhu Gangguan, originally the marshal of the heavenly canopy, Guanyin Bodhisattva gave me a law name, called Zhu Wuneng, and I also quit five meat and three hates."
At this time, Zhu Gangguan was afraid that Tang Seng would think he was ugly and would not accept him, so he gave Li Zhi next to him a look.
"Amitabha, since it is the guidance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the poor monk accepts you, since you have already abstained from five meat and three hates, then I will give you another alias, which is called 'Eight Precepts'?"
Hahaha, Li Zhi endured it on the side, and didn't dare to let himself laugh out loud.
The famous "Zhu Bajie" was finally born under his own witness, this feeling is really amazing!
"Bajie? Thank you, Master, for the name—"
Tang Seng accepted Zhu Bajie and celebrated.
And the people of Gao Laozhuang, seeing that this pig demon was accepted as an apprentice by Tang Seng, came to congratulate Tang Seng, and secondly, they were even more happy to finally send away this plague god.
has been specially instructed by Li Zhi before, and Zhu Bajie has not improved Cuilan's affairs in a word.
Since things are already like this, and there is such a fate between Zhu Bajie and Gao Cuilan, Li Zhi will naturally not obstruct it, but will find a way to take care of their union.
Journey to the West, on the second day, they said goodbye to Gao Laozhuang and continued to travel west.
The night before, according to Li Zhi's instructions, Zhu Bajie secretly went to see Gao Cuilan.
It's a pity that since Zhu Bajie got drunk and showed his original form on the day of marriage, Gao Cuilan never let Zhu Bajie touch her body again.
On the contrary, before getting married, Zhu Bajie worked in Gao Laozhuang for more than half a year, and the two secretly fell in love.
After the immortal body remains, how can it be equated with mortals?
After all, Gao Cuilan has been pregnant for more than half a year, not only has she not shown her pregnancy at all, but even everyone in the Gao family doesn't seem to be aware of it?
At this meeting tonight, Zhu Bajie was blocked out of the boudoir as usual, and it was rare that Gao Cuilan did not shout.
"Cuilan, there are some things that I haven't told you before, and we will be separated tomorrow, and I think it's better to explain it clearly to you."
"I've told you my identity many times before, but you don't know your own identity."
"You were originally the neon fairy of the Moon Palace in the sky, and we promised three lives in the sky, but after you were reincarnated, you lost the memory of your previous life."
"We can continue the frontier in Gao Laozhuang, all of which is destined by God. Cuilan, you may not know it yet, but in fact, you are already pregnant with my flesh and blood. ”
"Now that I'm going west, I shouldn't be able to come back for more than ten years, you must take good care of yourself and take care of the child in your belly."
"I left you two pills at the door, the red one you can take by yourself, it can strengthen your body and maintain your appearance."
"The white pill, after the child is born, you can turn it into water and give it to him, which can ensure that he is immune to all diseases and thrives."
"Cuilan, wait for my old pig to come back......"
……
However, it was said that Tang Seng accepted Zhu Bajie, and the westbound team expanded again.
Sun Wukong was still exploring the way ahead, Li Zhi had a job of leading the horse, and Zhu Bajie, who joined last, picked up the luggage with a nine-tooth nail rake and followed the back of the team.
His nine-toothed nail rake, the real name is "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", which was forged by Taishang Laojun with the power of the divine iron and the power of six dings and six armors.
Its weight is a number of hidden pieces, with a total of 5,000 and 48 catties of handles, which is comparable to the weight of the "Dark Cloud Tyrant Sun Spear" given to Li Zhi by Sun Wukong, but the grade is much higher, and it is a rare spiritual treasure that has both offense and defense.
If Taishang Laojun knew that the Shangbao Qinjin rake that he had worked so hard to build was used as a burden to carry luggage, I don't know how his old man would feel?
A few days ago, Xu is Zhu Bajie had just left his "homeland", and he was still sullen, even if Li Zhi secretly gave him two jars of wine, he still didn't see him happy.
Li Zhi simply changed his method to tease him, and even did not hesitate to go down in person, using the "Dark Cloud Ba Sun Gun" in his hand to meet Zhu Bajie's "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake".
It's a pity that Li Zhi is not anyone's opponent.
The realm is not as good as people, the weapons are not as good as people, and they are barely able to lose to Zhu Bajie in terms of strength and moves.
That's thanks to the "Cangming Jue" when he was promoted to the second layer, he got the characteristic of "Vigorous", and then he got it from Mowen and Chunwu, and the two major gun tricks of "Bloodthirsty" and "God Extermination" appeared inexplicably.
"Little junior brother, although you can't go through fifty rounds in the hands of the old pig now, you should be proud enough."
"You must know that you are only in the middle stage of 'Transforming into a God', and I am an early stage of 'Golden Immortal', and there are four or five great realms in the middle."
"In my old pig's opinion, ordinary immortals and true immortals may not be your opponents, even if you meet Xuan Immortals, you have the power to fight."
Zhu Bajie is not exalting Li Zhi, what he said is also very pertinent, the key is that the characteristics of "vigorous" are too terrifying, one force will drop ten, and strength and head and foot are the foundation of being able to leapfrog the challenge.
The country of Wusi Tibet is vast and sparsely populated, and you can see barren mountains and mountains everywhere, or deserts with no people, and the group of people is not walking fast, but it is convenient for a few people to learn.
Either Li Zhi to Zhu Bajie, or Li Zhi to Sun Wukong, sometimes, Li Zhi also did everything possible to instigate the little white dragon out.
Who made Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie's cultivation too high, both of them were in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, and they were not in their heyday, and they could easily handle Li Zhi.
On the contrary, it was the little white dragon, "only" the realm of the early stage of Xuan Xian, and he used a sword, and he suffered a little loss in the weight of the weapon.
Even so, it can be two hundred and twenty rounds, which is the limit that Li Zhi can support when he fights with Xiaobailong.
Realm, realm?
In the repeated battles with the senior brothers, Li Zhi's fighting experience and skills have increased a lot, but the cultivation realm still relies on water grinding work.
Therefore, every night when he stayed, no matter what kind of environment it was, Li Zhi never slept, but practiced the "Cangming Technique" on the futon, and time was too precious for him.
Driven by Li Zhi, the entire scripture-learning team has invisibly become a mobile cultivation combination, except for Zhu Bajie, who occasionally sleeps lazily, almost everyone else is cultivating all night, even Tang Seng is no exception.
More than three months passed like this, and the spring blossomed, and Li Zhi grew to the age of fourteen.
It has been almost a year since leaving Chang'an, and the westward journey team finally walked out of the Wusi Tibetan country, and a big mountain appeared in front of it, with ancient trees and long forests, towering into the clouds.
"Apprentices, this mountain ahead is so steep, I'm afraid there will be some monsters?"
Tang Seng sat down on the white dragon horse, looking at it, Sun Wukong and Li Zhi also carried the "fiery eyes" and "broken golden pupils".
"Haha, Master, are you scared? There aren't any monsters here. ”
"This mountain is called 'Futu Mountain', there is a Wuchao Zen master in the mountain, that is a real Taoist monk, even if the old pig is in his heyday, he may not be able to go through fifty rounds in front of the old Zen master."
"He also persuaded me to practice with him, but unfortunately the old pig is not the kind of person who can endure hardships, so he politely quit him and went down the mountain to become a monster."
"Master, look, isn't that the Wuchao Zen Master coming to pick you up in person?"
Sure enough, a tall old monk walked in front of everyone, with a bald head and a silver beard, and a steady body, but he couldn't see what kind of cultivation he was?
Li Zhi and Sun Wukong glanced at each other, and both shook their heads without a trace.
Sun Wukong's "fiery eyes" do not have the ability to see through people's cultivation, but Li Zhi is really powerless because his realm is too low.
Tang Seng had already hurriedly dismounted and worshipped, and the old Zen master was just a void support.
"Holy monk, please get up, unwelcome, unwelcome-"
Zhu Bajie also hurriedly stepped forward to salute.
"Old Zen master, I haven't seen you for a long time, do you remember my old pig?"
"Oh, you're a pig from Fuling Mountain? How can you have such a great fate and be able to walk with the holy monks? Congratulations—"
"So that the old Zen master will know that the previous time Guanyin Bodhisattva mentioned something, let me make an apprentice to the master, so that I can follow to the west to go on a journey."
Zhu Bajie hurriedly explained, his face beaming.
"No wonder, no wonder, you are a good edification, and you need to serve diligently in the future, and don't be lazy again."
Wuchao Zen Master seems to be very happy for Zhu Bajie, after all, this is also the person who entered his eyes and wanted to be accepted as a disciple.
"I wonder who these two are?"
Wuchao Zen Master looked at Sun Wukong and Li Zhi again, especially the one who stayed on Li Zhi's body for the longest time, and frowned from time to time, thoughtful......
