Chapter 54: Tang Seng's Mutation

"The Technique of Turning into a Rainbow", the strongest escape technique of the Golden Crow clan, even in the time of the flood, is one of the best existences.

Back then, the Demon Emperor Jun and the Eastern Emperor Taiyi, in their heyday, were able to achieve a breath as far as 120,000 miles.

You must know that Sun Wukong's "somersault cloud" full of the Three Realms is only a somersault of 108,000 miles, and the time to fight a somersault takes three or four breaths.

However, this supernatural power also has a big drawback, that is, it consumes a lot of mana.

Now Li Zhi has just broken through to the late stage of the "Tribulation", even if he uses his "Rainbow Transformation Technique" with all his might, it is only a thousand miles of breath, and it can barely last for more than ten breaths.

Even so, Li Zhi was already very satisfied, and even a little overjoyed.

Cultivation can continue to grow, and the realm can also continue to improve, with the "Rainbow Technique", he can be regarded as completely making up for the defects in the flying lifting technique, and there is no need to rub Sun Wukong's "somersault cloud" for a long journey.

At the beginning of his studies, Li Zhi carefully operated the "Rainbow Transformation Technique" and slowly walked towards the west, breathing a hundred, two hundred, and three hundred miles......

A pleasure that he had never felt before rose in his heart, and Li Zhi felt that this was only a "fairy", and he could barely "travel to the north sea in the twilight", right?

……

Li Zhi had a "short" realization on Futu Mountain, but who knew that more than three months had passed, and the three Tang monks and apprentices went west on the road and walked out of more than 5,000 miles.

After asking about the land, I learned that after walking two or three thousand miles to the west, I would have to go out of Nanbu Continent and enter Xiniuhe Continent, which is full of demons.

After walking for more than 5,000 miles, it was still calm, and he didn't encounter a powerful demon, which made Sun Wukong, who had recently cultivated a lot of money, a little depressed.

"Brother Monkey, I'm afraid you didn't work as hard as you do now when you were apprenticing to learn art, right? Could it be that you are really stimulated by the little junior brother? ”

It was another scorching afternoon, and the sun was really scorching, so the master and apprentice had to find a shady wood, and wait for the heat wave to pass before hurrying.

"Idiot, what do you know? When my grandson was the strongest, he was just a Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he wasted so many peaches and golden pills in vain. ”

"However, Lao Sun found that the energy of those peach and golden pills has not completely disappeared, and there are actually many remnants in my many tricks, which have not been completely refined and absorbed."

"Don't underestimate the little junior brother, listening to him talk about it, he has only been cultivating for six or seven years, and he is already in the middle stage of 'transforming into a god', and when my old grandson apprenticed for six or seven years, he only knew how to pick peaches on the mountain to eat......"

Since Yicheng came down the mountain, Sun Wukong has never mentioned to anyone about apprenticeship, but today he inadvertently thought of all kinds of things back then.

In addition to sighing, Sun Wukong seemed to understand something again, closed his eyes and entered the cultivation again.

"Hehe, looking at your diligence, my old pig is a little embarrassed to sleep."

Yes, when we first met in Fuling Mountain half a year ago, Sun Wukong, like Zhu Bajie, was still in the early stage of the Golden Immortal.

Half a year has passed, Zhu Bajie is still in the early stage of the Golden Immortal, but Sun Wukong has recovered to the late stage of the Golden Immortal, and he is about to return to the realm of Taiyi.

The speed of recovery of this realm is three or five years earlier than in another time and space?

"Wukong, let's continue on our way. Hey, when you separate, you should leave one of Jiurou's futons and sit cross-legged on it, so that you can better understand the Dharma as a teacher. ”

Everyone else is normal, but Tang Seng has changed.

Constantly studying the two scriptures that Li Zhi brought back, Tang Seng first felt that his body had changed, and his body, which was originally a little plump, gradually became stronger.

Immediately after that, his strength was getting bigger, and his spirit was more sufficient, even if he didn't have Li Zhi's futon, he only slept for one or two hours a day, and he was still energetic and energetic on the second day.

In fact, on the way from Gao Laozhuang to Futu Mountain, Tang Seng felt his own changes.

Unexpectedly, in the past three months, his changes have become more obvious, such as hiking over the mountains like walking on flat ground, and the "nine-ring tin cane" in his hand is also whirring and windy.

It's just that he has never learned any moves, and he is unwilling to learn Sun Wukong's stick technique, so he can only dance with his strength.

What kind of vision does Sun Wukong have, he keenly found that he, a mortal master, has begun a real cultivation?

It's a pity that Sun Wukong doesn't understand the Buddhist exercises, and the basic requirements for learning scriptures seem to be that Tang Seng must be a mortal?

Sun Wukong, who is frizzy by nature, didn't immediately say anything about it, but acted as if he didn't find it at all, and the simple Zhu Bajie really didn't seem to notice it?

However, Tang Seng is very satisfied with this change, he has been dedicated to Buddhism, and now he can have more time and energy to study Buddhism, is there anything more interesting to him than this?

The time has passed, and the day is getting westerly, and the three masters and apprentices are on the road again.

Tang Seng was interested, did not ride the white dragon horse, but held the "nine-ring tin staff" and walked between the mountains and forests.

As far as the eye can see, the mountains overlap a large area, and you can't see the edge at all, afraid that it will be hundreds of miles long?

The high ones are mountains, and the steep ones are mountains; The steep is the cliff, and the deep is the gully; It is the spring that rings, and the flowers that are fresh.

The three of them walked for more than an hour, and the mountain breeze came slowly, adding a bit of coolness.

"Hehe, Brother Monkey, it's actually windy, this bird weather is about to turn my old pig into a roast pig-"

Zhu Bajie is fat, and he is most afraid of the heat, in addition to hot sweat, he is more likely to be tired and hungry, without Li Zhi to follow, the supply of food is much less.

Before Sun Wukong could speak, the mountain wind was blowing stronger and stronger, flying sand and rocks in an instant, covering the clouds and the sun.

"Wukong, this wind is coming so sinisterly, I'm afraid that there will be some monsters here?"

Tang Seng stopped, remembered Li Zhi's instructions, and hurriedly moved closer to the white dragon horse.

Not to ride on the horse, but to the side of the white dragon horse, reaching out and grasping the reins tightly.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie also put down the luggage he was carrying, and put the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake" in his hand to protect Tang Seng on the other side.

Sure enough, after three vicious winds, he cut his tail and ran his hooves, and jumped over from the side of the hill with a colorful tiger.

"Idiot, be optimistic about Master, we have tiger meat to eat tonight-"

Sun Wukong pulled out the Ruyi golden hoop stick and smashed it towards the colorful tiger.

Unexpectedly, the tiger looked huge, but his body was extremely agile, and he dodged Sun Wukong's stick with a dodge and ran towards the valley on the right.

"Hehe, little flower cat, do you still want to run away when you see your grandfather?"

If it was just an ordinary tiger, maybe Sun Wukong wouldn't be able to kill it all, but unfortunately this colorful tiger has obviously become a sperm.

Then, it is no longer a tiger, but a tiger spirit.

After three turns and two turns, Sun Wukong and the tiger spirit couldn't see a trace.

"Bajie, Wukong, he won't have an accident, right?"

When Tang Seng saw the colorful tigers, he was no longer as scared as he was at the beginning, but when he saw Sun Wukong disappear with him, he inevitably had some memories in his heart.

"Master, don't worry, it's just a tiger spirit in the 'tribulation' period, Brother Monkey is estimated to be playing with it, don't you know Brother Monkey's skills?"

For Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie has a hundred confidences.

"Haha, stupid pig, Grandpa Tiger is back-"

Suddenly, a colorful tiger appeared on the left, and the man stood up and spoke.

If it wasn't the tiger spirit who led Sun Wukong away, who else could it be?

"Oh, the little tiger spirit, it's really a little capable, see the old pig caught you and roasted your baby to eatβ€”β€”"

Zhu Bajie danced the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", rushed up, and built the split.

The tiger spirit actually pulled out a pair of demon knives from his arms, and returned the fight, and fought for more than 20 rounds, the tiger spirit couldn't withstand Zhu Bajie's attack, and ran away again, but ran to the mountain beam on the other side.

In this way, only the lonely Tang Seng was left standing beside the white dragon horse, holding the "nine-ring tin staff" in his hand, his legs and stomach were a little tendoned, and there were words in his mouth.

"Haha, great monk, no one is here to protect you now, right?"

Suddenly, another voice came overhead.

Tang Seng looked up, isn't this still the tiger spirit just now?

"So that you, the monk, know that I am the tiger pioneer under the command of the Yellow Wind King, and today I was ordered by the king of my family to take the opportunity of patrolling the mountains to catch a few mortals to satisfy my hunger."

"Your two entourages are very hateful, and they actually wasted the only two ghosts in this vanguard, but if they can catch you back, maybe the Yellow Wind King will be happy, and he can reward me with two mouthfuls of lamp oil to drink."

After the tiger pioneer finished speaking, under the above momentum, a tiger claw grabbed Tang Seng, and he also knew that the two ghosts could not delay much time, and planned to catch Tang Seng and leave.

Looking at the tiger claws that were almost in front of him, Tang Seng didn't know where he got the courage from, and put the "nine-ring tin staff" in his hand up horizontally.

"Huh-" With a loud bang, Tang Seng was directly shocked out more than two feet away, and the "Nine-Ring Tin Staff" also let go, but the Tiger Pioneer was excited by the golden light emitted by the "Nine-Ring Tin Staff".

Fortunately, Tang Seng couldn't play the effect of the "Nine-Ring Tin Staff" at all, and the Tiger Pioneer was just excited by the golden light, as if he was slightly electrocuted.

"Oh, I didn't see it, what you're holding in the hands of a mortal monk is still a treasure? It's hard for the Yellow Wind King to reward me now, hahaha-"

The Tiger Pioneer picked up the "Nine-Ring Tin Staff" from the ground, but unfortunately, it never saw anything special about this staff.

"Great monk, can you go with this pioneer now? ——”

Tiger Pioneer looked at Tang Seng who had regained his feet from the ground, and said with a wicked smile, but Tang Seng unconsciously stepped back.

......

"Little Flower Cat, do you want to move my clan uncle too?"

At this tense moment, a gentle voice came.

"Kuro? Come and save meβ€”"

Who else could it be if it wasn't Li Zhi?

"The Technique of Turning Rainbows", even if it is a beginner's practice, more than 5,000 miles and half an hour is enough to arrive.

When passing by the city in the middle, Li Zhi also went in with great interest to replenish some wine, water, dry food, melons and fruits and cooked food, the "storage ring" is really a must-have for long-distance travel.

"Another mortal? It's still a martial arts practitioner, it's good, and the meat of a martial arts practitioner tastes more chewy. ”

Seeing that a young man was coming, Tiger Pioneer was not surprised.

In its eyes, Li Zhi is just a strong martial arts practitioner, and it is not that it has never eaten such a person before, and it doesn't care about this one.

"Little junior brother, are you back? Master, is it okay? ——”

At this moment, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie rushed back one after another.

It's just two ghosts, and as soon as the primordial spirit of the Tiger Pioneer gets rid of the ghost, the ghost's combat power immediately drops a lot.

Even the Tiger Pioneer himself is not an opponent, let alone two ghosts?

One by one, the ghosts were folded under the "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick" and the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", and each left a tiger skin on the ground.

"Senior brother, second senior brother, you are guarding its retreat, this tiger's cultivation is comparable to mine, and I just used it to practice today."

The Tiger Pioneer is not a minion, but he is also a little demon general who can be named in the Journey to the West, and he can barely mix a little demon king with his strength in another place.

At this time, Sun Wukong paid attention to Li Zhi.

"Little junior brother, it's only been more than three months, you ...... You actually broke through four small realms in a row, and reached the late stage of the 'Tribulation'? ”

Rao is Sun Wukong is well-informed, and his cultivation speed like Li Zhi is too shocking "monkey".

In the past three months, Sun Wukong himself has forgotten to sleep and eat, except for rushing during the day, he is almost recovering the energy of cultivating and refining the remaining peach and golden pill in his body.

Even so, he only went from the early stage of the Golden Immortal to the late stage of the Golden Immortal, which made Zhu Bajie envious to death.

"Hehe, it's just a fluke, it's just a fluke, when the little brother catches this tiger spirit, we can use it for wine at night."

As soon as he stretched out his hand, the "Dark Cloud Overlord" gun appeared in Li Zhi's hand.

"Little Flower Cat, I know very well where you are a monster, and I know even better what tricks you have. If you let my senior brother and second senior brother fight you, it will be a bit too bullying. ”

"You and I are similar in cultivation, let's compare and compare, you will be the first demon to die under the spear of the 'Dark Cloud Overlord', and you will be proud enough to go to the underworld."

After speaking, without waiting for the Tiger Pioneer to answer, the "Dark Cloud Domination Day" gun was "remnant wind and bloodthirsty", and he smashed his head.

"Hmph, little doll, is your Grandpa Tiger still afraid that you won't succeed?"

A mere mortal dares to humiliate himself like this?

The Tiger Pioneer's anger hit the top beam, and temporarily threw away the "Nine Rings Tin Staff", the key is that it will not be used, and the double knife in his hand is raised, wanting to set up the big gun that Li Zhi smashed down.

In the ear chakra, a loud sound of "pop-" was heard, which was much more than the movement of Fang Cai Tiger Pioneer to Tang Seng.

The Tiger Pioneer's twin knives were directly smashed into four sections, and a pair of tiger claws could no longer hold the handles, hanging there, bleeding down.

"Runβ€”"

At this moment, Tiger Pioneer had no temper, and only one word flashed in his mind.

It had already fought with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, although it didn't take long, it could also judge that the monkey who made the stick was more powerful, so it ran away in the direction of Zhu Bajie.

What about the second senior brother of the pig?

One person and one tiger in the field just started the fight, he thought that he would have to fight for a long time, who would have thought that this stupid tiger would actually fight with Li Zhi as soon as he came up.

originally possessed the characteristics of "vigorous", but now that the Great Realm has risen to another level, Li Zhi's strength has nearly doubled.

Zhu Bajie may not have the strength of Li Zhi now, let alone this tiger spirit?

In one shot, the Tiger Pioneer was defeated and fled in the direction of Zhu Bajie, and the old pig really didn't have time to take precautions, and the Tiger Pioneer jumped out more than ten zhang.

"Stop it, idiot...... Okay, no need-"

Sun Wukong stood still and didn't move, only to see a white shadow flash, and the "Rainbow Technique" flashed.

When he saw Li Zhi again, he was already standing in front of the Tiger Pioneer with his hands in his hands.

And the "Dark Cloud Tyrant" gun, pierced from the back of the Tiger Pioneer, and the tip of the spear more than a foot long revealed from the front heart, directly shattering the Tiger Pioneer's internal organs, and the dead could no longer die.

"Little junior brother, are you too explosive? Anyway, what was that body method just now, how could it be so fast? ”

Li Zhi stood there pranayama, don't look at the short moment just now, whether it was the shot that covered his head and brain, or the instant and vertical of the "Rainbow Transformation Technique", it was all planned by Li Zhi in advance.

He and the Tiger Pioneer were originally cultivated between the two of them, and the demon clan had the advantage of natural strength and resistance to beating, if it wasn't for the surprise, the two sides would have to fight for a hundred and ten rounds.

Li Zhi was able to kill the opponent in seconds with only two shots, and his mana was also lost a lot.

"Senior brother, this demon is just a pioneer in exploring the way, what else does it say, there is a Yellow Wind King, let's be careful."

Li Zhi knows the plot, this endless mountain that can't be seen at a glance, and he sees this tiger pioneer again, how can he not guess that this is the 800-mile Huangfeng Ridge?

The one in the Yellow Wind Cave is not bad in strength, and it should be a Golden Immortal-level existence.

The most terrifying thing is its "samadhi divine wind", is it really like another time and space, you have to invite Lingji Bodhisattva to come?

Journey to the West is a big merit cake, and Li Zhi doesn't know when he will be forced to quit, so in the foreseeable event, he wants to make as much merit as possible.

"What Jiu Lang said is reasonable, this Tiger Pioneer is so cunning and ferocious, presumably their Yellow Wind King should not be easy to deal with."

Tang Seng took the opportunity to get back his "Nine-Ring Tin Staff", and it seemed that he hadn't seen Li Zhi kill the tiger spirit with one shot.

Li Zhi rushed to kill the demon, but he didn't want Sun Wukong to do it, in case Tang Seng's "compassion" was committed again, it might cause trouble.

However, why didn't Tang Seng react to his violent blow?

"Uncle Clan, you? ……”

Li Zhi glanced at Tang Seng, under the "Broken Golden Pupil", Tang Seng is still the same Tang Seng, but Tang Seng is no longer the Tang Seng?

"Little junior brother is right, let's be cautious, hehe, let's find a place to deal with this tiger spirit first."

Sun Wukong pulled Li Zhi with one hand, and also took the opportunity to block back Li Zhi's unfinished words.

After tossing for a long time, it was dark, and it was no longer suitable to hurry, so everyone had to find a place to camp.

Li Zhi returned, that is, the real camp, but in his "storage ring", he only brought a tent, which was naturally reserved for Tang Seng.

He took out some vegetarian food, melons and fruits and water from the "storage ring" and gave them to Tang Seng, and took out a futon and put it in the tent, and the white dragon horse stopped next to the tent.

For the sake of safety, Li Zhi even begged Sun Wukong to draw a big circle around the tent and the white dragon horse with a golden hoop stick.

It's just that Li Zhi is not sure whether the circle drawn by Sun Wukong is effective against the Yellow Wind Monster at the level of the Golden Immortal.

The three of them, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Li Zhi, were a little farther away, set up a bonfire, and began to barbecue tiger meat.

No matter what, you have to symbolically avoid Tang Seng, although Tang Seng himself has simply eaten dinner, sat cross-legged on the futon, and began a night of chanting and meditating.

"Senior brother, uncle he ......"

Li Zhi wanted to ask for an understanding, but secretly glanced at Zhu Bajie, who was drinking next to him.

"Little junior brother, your Taoism is still shallow, and my old injuries have not yet recovered......

Sun Wukong took a fresh peach brought by Li Zhi and took a bite hard.

Monkeys are monkeys after all, and they always like to eat peaches.

The monkey is no longer a monkey, and the Five Elements Mountain has been pressed down for five hundred years, which is enough for him to figure out something.
