Chapter 61: The same people don't have the same fate
The little white dragon Ao Lie was drunk by the mysterious voice and retreated outside the hall, and only Sun Wukong and Li Zhi were left in the hall.
Unexpectedly, the voice actually took the initiative to talk about Sun Wukong's heels - Lingming Stone Monkey.
"It's a pity, although you are a Lingming stone monkey, your innate characteristics have been completely covered up by people for some reason, and you haven't played it out at all."
The voice continued.
"Senior, my senior brother may have been calculated, I wonder if my senior can help?"
Looking at Sun Wukong's confused appearance on the side, Li Zhi hurriedly took over the conversation for him and asked.
"Haha, you kid can really climb the pole, but the old man is just a wisp of residual thoughts here, if it is the peak state of the old man's body, it may be possible to help him recover his origin."
"Lingming stone monkey, through change, know the sky, know the location, move the stars and change the fight. Now only the skill of 'through change' still exists, and it seems that it is just an acquired technique, but in fact, it is completely upside down. ”
The man seemed to feel sorry for Sun Wukong, but he couldn't do anything about it.
As he said, the two are originally cognate and cognate ?
"In that case, please also ask the seniors to show the senior brother a clear way, how to act next, I might as well have a charter."
Sun Wukong's matter, that is his Li Zhi's matter, Brother Monkey doesn't know the depth of it, but Li Zhi knows a little bit about it.
Whether it was the "Monkey King" when he was havoc in the Heavenly Palace, or the "Fight to Defeat the Buddha" after taking the true scriptures and cultivating the positive results, Sun Wukong has never been able to show the characteristics of his Lingming Stone Monkey.
From this point of view, he must have been calculated by someone, otherwise, unless Sun Wukong is not a Lingming stone monkey at all.
It's scary to think about this matter, isn't it possible that there are so many powers that are friendly with Sun Wukong, and no one can see Sun Wukong's abnormal state?
"It's not that there is no way, but it's a pity that it's too illusory, the old man sees that he is confused, and there are still two ways to find it if he wants to completely get rid of it."
"First, he himself can reach the quasi-holy realm, and when he beheads a corpse, whether good or evil, there will be no more good and evil, or he should return to his origin."
"Second, if there is still one thing in the world that can solve this symptom, it must be the White Lotus of the Twelve Pure Worlds, but unfortunately, this lotus has disappeared since it appeared."
Li Zhi smiled helplessly, he understood everything.
But the two strategies proposed by the other party may not be able to be completed even by a person who has practiced for hundreds of millions of years, and the other is even more slim, and there is not much difference between saying it and not saying it.
It is said that the chaotic green lotus was originally thirty-six products, and a total of five lotus seeds were born, which were green, white, red, black, and gold.
Among them, the cyan lotus seed matured, turned into twenty-four products of the creation of the green lotus, because the creation of the green lotus is too against the sky, as soon as it was born, it was divided into three, and turned into Taiyi dust, three treasure jade Ruyi and Qingping sword, all owned by Sanqing.
The other four immature lotus seeds were transformed into the Twelve Rank Karma Fire Red Lotus, which were owned by the Styx Ancestor; The twelve-grade extinction black lotus was originally owned by the demon ancestor Rahu, and Rahu's whereabouts were unknown after his death.
The twelve-grade merit golden lotus, owned by the Western Sect to guide the Taoist, was later used to suppress the luck of Buddhism, but unfortunately it was swallowed by the mosquito Taoist and has become a nine-grade golden lotus.
The last one, the Twelve Pure World White Lotus, has never recognized the Lord, and no one knows where it is going.
Even so, the kid also thanked the senior brother for his guidance. I am considered to have received the favor of my predecessors, but I don't know where I need the younger generations to be a little effective? ”
Li Zhi saw that the other party was teaching exercises to Xiaobailong again, and he was solving doubts for Sun Wukong, so they wouldn't all be giving out benefits for free, right?
Instead of waiting for the other party to bring it up, it is better to take the initiative to ask, at least the posture of being a junior should be put in place.
"Haha, don't show off in front of the old man with that little bit of ghost thinking from you, the old man has already said it, and there is not much time left for me."
"This remnant thought here is also a spare hand left by the old man back then, I didn't expect it to be really used, hey, it's a pity that I opened the heavens of the three clans."
The voice was low again for no reason, perhaps thinking of something unbearable from the past.
"Although we haven't been together for a long time, the old man feels that you are a trustworthy person worthy of trust, I have a drop of essence blood left for you, if possible, I hope you can help the dragon clan at a critical time."
After speaking, the coercion in the entire hall suddenly decreased, and a fist-sized drop of crimson blood seemed to come from the void and slowly floated in front of Li Zhi.
"This ...... No merit is not punished, how dare the kid accept such a generous gift from his predecessors! ”
Even if Li Zhi only had an orange-level "Delusion-Breaking Golden Pupil", he could see that this drop of crimson essence blood contained a huge amount of energy, and even Sun Wukong on the side saw it with envy.
"Boy, you better accept it, so that the old man can go with peace of mind, maybe we will have a chance to meet in the future."
"Maybe within the Three Realms, maybe outside the wilderness, I hope you and I will be friends rather than enemies by then. Take care of the two, the old man and the candle dragon will ......"
As soon as the words fell, the hall disappeared out of thin air, and the surroundings brightened up again.
If it weren't for the fist-sized amount of essence blood floating in front of him, Li Zhi would have suspected that everything about Fang Cai was just a dream.
Candle Dragon?
The top ten divine dragons of ancient times ranked second, second only to the ancestral dragon at the head of ten thousand dragons.
According to rumors, the candle dragon is part of the body of the god Pangu, with a human face and a snake body, red color, and a body of thousands of miles.
When you open your eyes, it's day, and when you close your eyes, it's night, and the light reflected by its eyes can shine through the underworld under the Nine Yellow Springs.
Inhale for winter, exhale for summer, and when you breathe, it becomes a long wind that shakes the heavens and the earth.
Able to call the wind and rain, do not drink water, do not eat, do not sleep and do not rest.
……
"Little junior brother, you better hurry up and put away this drop of essence blood, just now my old grandson has already noticed it, and several eyes came to check on the quicksand river, but they were all covered by the old grandson one by one."
Seeing that Li Zhi was still there in a daze, Sun Wukong on the side hurriedly reminded, and even scratched his ears and cheeks in a hurry.
"Thank you, brother—"
A "thank you" contains how much emotion Li Zhi has, and Sun Wukong's status in Li Zhi's heart has risen again.
You know, this is a drop of the essence blood of the candle dragon?
If Sun Wukong reaches out and snatches it, it is estimated that he will soon be able to return to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and even break through directly to Da Luo.
The essence blood of the candle dragon entered the body, and it was directly collected by Li Zhi in the "dantian", together with the flame of the "true fire of the sun".
Such a big drop of essence blood, and the essence blood of the candle dragon, is not something that the current Li Zhi can easily refine, if he is really so brutal, I am afraid that the final result can only be an explosion and death.
"Senior brother, junior brother, are you finally willing to come out?"
The voice of a small white dragon was heard in the distance, and it was at least ten miles away from here.
Li Zhi was a little puzzled, obviously he retreated outside the main hall, why did he go out so far?
"The quicksand river is a land of right and wrong, so it's better for me to leave first."
The three of them stayed here for a few days, Li Zhi and Xiao Bailong both gained, only Sun Wukong accompanied the two junior brothers for nothing.
His state of mind also changed invisibly, and his mind kept lingering with the words of the candle dragon, especially about his heels.
The three of them did not stay any longer, nor did they rashly leave directly from the water, but walked through the bottom of the quicksand river until they reached the bank of the West River before coming out of the water.
"Senior brother, junior brother, I think it's better for me to change back into the White Dragon Horse, one is not noticeable, and the other is that I can settle down and practice this 'Nine Turns Divine Dragon Technique' well."
"Nine Turns Divine Dragon Technique", that is a complete dragon clan exercise, and it is also the highest-level dragon clan exercise that Xiao Bailong has ever seen at such a age.
With this exercise, Xiao Bailong was confident that within a year, he would improve his cultivation from the peak of Xuan Immortal to the realm of Golden Immortal.
Those who cultivate immortals are respected for their strength, and the others are floating clouds, how many people care about their external appearance?
Especially the little white dragon, he found that he was walking on the road of learning scriptures in the form of a white dragon horse, and it seemed that every step was still accumulating merit?
"It's all up to you, that senior of the dragon clan put the hope of revitalizing the dragon clan on Senior Brother Ao, and the younger brother also hopes that Senior Brother Ao will make great progress in cultivation and break the curse of the dragon clan as soon as possible."
Since Candle Dragon did not personally inform Xiao Bailong of his identity, Li Zhi did not plan to talk too much from the side, and it was not too late to wait for some things to come up.
At the beginning of the Dragon and Han Tribulation, whether it was the Dragon Clan, the Feng Clan or the Qilin Clan, they were not able to bargain for anything in that battle that lasted for thousands of years.
On the contrary, with the death of one strong man after another in the three clans of Kaitian, the entire clan was greatly injured, resulting in no winner in the end, and gradually became a spectator between heaven and earth.
Looking at the current Three Realms, the Dragon Clan has retreated to the four seas, the Feng Clan has returned to Tiannan, and the Qilin Clan has become an auspicious beast.
To say that the dragon clan is even worse, it was cursed by the Heavenly Dao back then, and after so many years, there has never been a new Da Luo Jin Immortal in the entire dragon clan.
After the three of them went ashore, they identified the direction and took off to look for Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha who had been on the road a few days earlier.
……
The words are divided into two ends, and there are three Tang monks and apprentices.
On that day, with the help of Hui'an walkers, using the red gourd given by Guanyin Bodhisattva as the main body, the sand monk hung nine skulls on his neck in a circular circle, and made a Dharma boat that could float on the quicksand river.
Tang Seng is still shallow in practice, so he naturally has to sit on the boat, but Monk Sha is the one who sits here but is at the helm, Zhu Bajie originally wanted to ride the wind, and he fell on the Dharma boat when he saw the hunting heart.
Sun Wukong had already greeted Tang Seng in advance, and after the three of them abandoned the ship and landed on the shore, they first thanked the Hui'an walkers, and then did not stop here, and continued to go west.
Now that they have become senior brothers, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha had a little dirty quarrel before, and they will naturally disappear.
These two people can be regarded as not knowing each other, and they really fought for five days on the banks of the quicksand river, and they were also amazed by each other's skills.
"Senior Brother Sha, when I was in Heavenly Court, why did my old pig never see you?"
Without Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie seems to be more comfortable.
Master Tang Seng walked in front, Zhu Bajie carried the "Shangbaoqin Golden Rake", and chatted with the sand monk who was carrying the luggage.
"Second Senior Brother, the younger brother was originally a deacon in the harem of Da Tianzun, and he didn't like to socialize with people very much, plus he came to the Liusha River a long time ago, so it is normal that he did not meet the second senior brother."
Monk Sha didn't seem to be very willing to talk about the old things of Heavenly Court, so after a perfunctory sentence, he walked a few steps to catch up with Tang Seng.
"Master, after crossing the quicksand river, we will reach the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou, and from then on, there will be many mountains, rivers and monsters, do we need to wait for them, senior brother?"
The Liusha River is also a special existence, which is the dividing line between Nanzhan Buzhou and Xiniuhe Zhou.
When Monk Sha was punished here, it was also a clever arrangement of people with a heart, and anyone who traveled from the east to the west to Lingshan must pass through here.
Where did the nine skulls you hang under his neck come from?
That is the first nine generations of Tang Seng, or the nine reincarnations of the golden cicada, and the ninth generation is the heart of the monk to the west.
It's a pity that every time I walk to the quicksand river, I am eaten one by one by the sand monks who are trapped here as demons.
It is also strange to say that whenever Monk Sha eats a scripture learner, the other flesh and bones can melt in the mouth, but this skull is extremely hard and can float on weak water.
Seeing this, Monk Sha collected the skulls of these scripture learners, accumulated nine of them, and wore them into a terrifying necklace and hung them under his neck.
This time, he helped Tang Seng cross the quicksand river, and the necklace made of nine skulls was considered to have completed their mission and disappeared out of thin air.
The reincarnation of the ninth generation, just to survive this life, Tang Seng is crossed by people, why is it not self-ferrying?
A good person in the tenth life will die a tragic death in the ninth life, and the merits on his body will automatically accumulate in the next life every time he dies, until now this tenth life can cross the quicksand river and reach the western heavens.
"No need, the teacher has already agreed with Wukong, we just have to go west, if you really encounter any monsters that you can't deal with, the teacher will also notify your senior brother in time, and they will arrive as soon as possible."
Tang Seng touched the letter in his arms, which was secretly given to Tang Seng by Sun Wukong when he was leaving, and told him the method he used.
"Hehe, Lao Sha, this Xiniu Hezhou and my old pig also came back then, no matter what demons and monsters he has, can't you and I two golden immortal cultivators still deal with them?"
In the past six months, Zhu Bajie's cultivation has been steadily picking up, especially after fighting with Monk Sha for five days, he feels that his combat skills have returned to the peak, and what he lacks is nothing more than that the realm has not yet reached the former Taiyi Golden Immortal.
I have to say that the environment can really change people.
With Li Zhi's scripture-learning team, a wind of cultivation has already been formed up and down, and even Tang Seng has "fallen", not to mention Zhu Bajie?
The three of them continued to travel west, at this time it was almost the middle of winter, the mountain wind was gusting, except for Tang Seng, the other two were naturally not afraid of the cold.
Even Tang Seng was bent on exercising his physique, but he gritted his teeth, dressed in a single coat, and strode forward, which made the later Sha monks stunned for a while.
It is only said that Xiniu Hezhou is mountainous, watery and monsters, but they have been out for two days in a row, but not only have they encountered any monsters, but they can see beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere along the way.
If you can wait until the spring flowers bloom, you can imagine how wonderful the scenery can be along the way, this is not like a place where there can be monsters, even if there is, I am afraid that there will be fairies, right?
……
On this day, the three Tang monks and apprentices hastily had lunch, and continued to rush forward while the warm sun was just right.
Since Tang Seng began to cultivate, his daily appetite has also increased.
It's a pity that the two people who can "fast" the most are not in the team at this time, and the matter of fasting can only fall on the second senior brother Zhu Bajie.
"Master, my old pig didn't have enough to eat at noon, so let's find a place to rest early tonight, right? You also have a little more time to meditate and chant. ”
Regarding the amount of food consumption of Zhu Bajie, Li Zhi also kindly "checked" him, and in Li Zhi's opinion, this is a disease.
In later generations, many people always liked to take Zhu Bajie as an example to deny those weight loss theories.
For example, exercise weight loss, Zhu Bajie walked 100,000 miles in the west, and he didn't see him lose weight.
Another example, dieting and weight loss, all the way to the west, the wind and food sleeping in the open, not eating well and sleeping well, how have you ever seen Zhu Bajie lose weight?
It's a pity that Li Zhi gave a treatment plan, but the old pig didn't do it.
That is the "cut stomach", the stomach becomes smaller, and the appetite is naturally smaller.
Zhu Bajie complained in a whisper there, but Tang Seng and Monk Sha just didn't hear it, in such a wilderness, should they really meet people?
What is the difference between resting early and walking two extra steps, anyway, they are sleeping in the wilderness, and what they eat and drink is not something they can control.
Walking and walking, turning a mountain, the sun is still hanging high, Tang Seng who walked in the front, actually saw a mountain villa?
"Wujing, that is? ……”
"Hahaha, Master, my old pig is really a blessed person, you can come whatever you want, you can always have a good meal now, right?"
Zhu Bajie also saw that in the valley not far away, there was a manor, and hurriedly ran over to the ground.
"What a manor! Master, I'm afraid I've really run into a big family—"
Monk Sha stabilized the burden of luggage on his shoulders, and his heart was also happy, mainly because he felt a little sorry for Tang Seng.
The mortal body did not fall behind him and Zhu Bajie at all when he walked on foot, and invisibly a trace of respect for this new master, Monk Sha swelled up in his heart.
……
"Mojiazhuang—"
When Tang monks and apprentices came to this grand manor, Li Zhi and the others, who were thousands of miles away, had just left the quicksand river.
