Chapter 70: The Mysterious Corpse Demon

Speaking of Sun Wukong, since he learned the "Broken Golden Pupil", he realized how low-end his original "fiery eyes" were, and he was even more moved by Li Zhi's love for passing on his art.

After thinking about it, he finally passed on his "seventy-two changes" to Li Zhi.

The two have a good relationship, and they have become brothers in life and death in the "Wuzhuang View", and it is not a big deal to give each other magical powers.

Sun Wukong is now a mid-stage cultivator of "Taiyi Xuanxian", and the "Delusion-Breaking Golden Pupil" has also been practiced to the intermediate level, that is, the "green" level.

Standing in front of this big mountain, the "Broken Delusion Golden Pupil" scanned the range of five hundred miles, and it was naturally clear what mountain demons and monsters were during the period.

And the mountain range in front of you is called Baihu Ridge, mountain after mountain, mountain after ridge, mountains overlap, winding for hundreds of miles.

"Senior brother, don't entertain me, this corpse demon has been entrenched here for an unknown number of years, but he also has the ability of the early stage of the "Golden Immortal", wouldn't the junior brother go up and deliver food for nothing?"

In the team of Journey to the West, Li Zhi still habitually calls Sun Wukong "senior brother", not only to take care of the emotions of Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha, but more importantly, he himself is used to it.

Sun Wukong is different, calling "third brother" one by one, as if to show his extraordinary relationship with Li Zhi.

What Sun Wukong can see, Li Zhi can naturally do, not to mention that he is a person who is a "prophet", and he doesn't know which demon he is about to encounter.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that the corpse demon who was not very powerful in his impression was also a master at the level of "Golden Immortal"?

In fact, Li Zhi has already discovered that something is wrong, and the Journey to the West has not encountered many demons to this day, but they are all much stronger than his inherent concept.

Could it be because of his arrival that he has invisibly increased the difficulty of Journey to the West?

The conversation between Sun Wukong and Li Zhi also made the rest of the scripture learning team stop.

"Wukong, Jiulang, are you saying that in the mountains ahead, are there demons?"

Tang Seng had just finished asking, and suddenly, he saw a black mist rising in the sky.

"Oh no, you wait to protect Master—"

Sun Wukong shouted, took a vertical leap, waved the "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick", and smashed towards the black mist in the air.

"Master—"

"Master—"

Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha also hurriedly surrounded and protected Tang Seng tightly.

"Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, there's no need to be in such a hurry, it's just a monster trick, and his true body is not here."

When he said this, Li Zhi also had enough "Broken Delusion Golden Pupils" and looked at the White Tiger Ridge, but he saw the figure of a crouching tiger about the shadow.

However, it is a phantom, it seems that there is no soul, but there is an obsession in the heart, and it is guarded here.

"Senior brother, I think that demon is afraid of you, if you are here, she probably won't dare to show up."

Seeing Sun Wukong come back with nothing, Li Zhi said with a smile.

"Well, it's also a cowardly demon, if you have the ability, you can make it clear that you can do a fight, and you can do it with real knives and guns, what kind of demon should you be if you hide your head and show your tail?"

Sun Wukong is very angry, since he recovered to the Taiyi realm, he has not had a good fight with others.

Zhen Yuanzi's realm is too outrageous, and Sun Wukong didn't dare to find it uncomfortable.

What about these junior disciples, Zhu Bajie's "Golden Immortal" is full of perfection, ready to return to the Taiyi realm at any time, and his peak period is only the middle stage of "Taiyi Xuanxian", which is Sun Wukong's current cultivation.

Sand Monk ...... Or don't say he's good.

In Sun Wukong's opinion, this third junior brother simply wasted two "ginseng fruits" in vain, and there was no reaction in his stomach when he ate them, and he was still in the middle stage of "Golden Immortal", unchanged.

Even the little white dragon came from behind, and after thoroughly refining the two "ginseng fruits", he actually made his "Nine Turns Divine Dragon Formula" rise to the fifth turn, and the proper "Golden Immortal" was only one line away from Zhu Bajie in the later stage.

With such a strong team of scriptures, how many monsters on the mountain dare to run out openly and toughly?

"Wukong, I'm a little hungry for my teacher, why don't you find a place to eat fast?"

After leaving the "Wuzhuang View" of Wanshou Mountain, there are few people along the way, even if you encounter a few villages and towns by chance, they are also small and pitiful.

It's been more than two months, and Li Zhi hasn't been able to come across a decent place to make a good purchase.

As a result, the stock in his "storage ring" has long been depleted.

"Master, the demon is ahead, you let me go fasting at this time?"

Sun Wukong is one head and two big, thinking that our master worships, this is because he thinks that his "god-turning" period is very good, and he wants to communicate with the demons here?

"Senior brother, you better go, if you don't leave, how dare the demon come out? ……」

At this time, Li Zhi secretly used his divine sense to spread the word.

"Well, when I was in the air just now, I found a red patch in the southeast, like a peach forest, so my grandson will go pick some peaches and come back."

Since Li Zhi also said so, Sun Wukong naturally followed the flow of goodness, nodded and called the "somersault cloud", and headed towards the southeast.

"Master, since Senior Brother is going to pick peaches, let's take a rest here and wait for Senior Brother."

Without waiting for Tang Seng to decide, Zhu Bajie was already lying on the ground, and after a while, he snored loudly.

"Haha, the second senior brother not only has a generous stomach, but also has such a big heart, and he can actually fall asleep at this time, which is really not comparable to ordinary people."

Although it was not the first time he had seen Zhu Bajie like this, Li Zhi couldn't help but complain.

Tang Seng and Monk Sha were not surprised, they each found a place and sat down to rest.

Tang Seng didn't want to waste time, so he sat cross-legged directly, and even took the futon from the white dragon horse to continue practicing his Zen skills.

For this, Li Zhi also has to admire.

Tang Seng is such a person, once he identifies something, he is extremely focused on action, especially after Guanyin Bodhisattva taught him the "six-character proverbs".

In Tang Seng's heart, this is the recognition and encouragement of Guanyin Bodhisattva, so chanting and cultivation have been placed in an equally important position by him.

It had been more than thirty years since he had been chanting, and his cultivation had only just begun for more than a year, so he naturally had to redouble his efforts to make up for it.

Li Zhi also sat down, just outside Tang Seng, neither cultivating nor daring to sleep.

I just closed my eyes slightly, waiting for the "person" to appear.

The time is not big, a gust of mountain wind is blowing, and it has entered the weather of July, even the mountain wind is not much cool.

"It's coming—"

Before Li Zhi could open his eyes, Zhu Bajie, who was sleeping soundly, actually sat up.

"It's so fragrant, it's so fragrant, where does the food smell from?"

Sure enough, from the west side of the mountain ahead, a village woman turned.

He was only in his early twenties, wearing a red floral blouse, an aqua blue cloth skirt, a silk handkerchief covering his head, and a bamboo basket in his hand.

Although he was dressed plainly, he was also clean and neat, and the rich aroma of the food came from the bamboo basket.

Zhu Bajie, who has always been old-hearted, has long been impatient to greet him, Li Zhi is happy to watch a good show on the side, he just needs to guard Tang Seng.

Sure enough, the process of this drama is not much different from what Li Zhi "knows".

In the end, the woman also died under Sun Wukong's "Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick".

"This ...... Wukong, how can you do such a murderous act?"

Even if he has already started to cultivate, Tang Seng is still a pious monk in his heart, and when he saw Sun Wukong kill a village woman, can Tang Seng not be angry?

"Uncle Clan, you come with me—"

At this time, Li Zhi knew that Sun Wukong should not be allowed to talk too much, no matter what he said, he would be considered to be arguing for his atrocities.

Because, not everyone is like the two of them, who have "broken gold."

Hitomi", you can see the transformation of demons.

To be precise, this village woman who was "beaten to death" is not a demon, but more like a method of borrowing corpses?

Li Zhi pulled Tang Seng and came to the woman's body.

Even though he was already in the cultivation stage of "transforming into a god", Tang Seng couldn't help but feel a little scared in his heart when he looked at a corpse so closely.

"Jiurou, what's so nice about this corpse? Are you trying to exonerate your brother?"

The relationship between Li Zhi and Sun Wukong is obvious to all in the entire scripture-learning team, and Tang Seng even feels that Li Zhi seems to have surpassed himself in an instant when he sees Sun Wukong?

"Haha, is that what Uncle Clan looks at me? Although the little nephew is not a man with lofty ideals, he can't easily do anything to commit murder or shield wicked people. Come and see—"

Li Zhi squatted down and fiddled with the village woman's arm a few times, stiff.

"Uncle Clan, do you see what's coming?"

Li Zhi didn't say anything, but slowly guided Tang Seng.

"This ...... This woman seems to have been dead for a long time?"

Yes, it is impossible for the hands and feet of a person who has just died to stiffen so quickly, if Tang Seng is bold and touches the hands of this village woman, he will find that it is extremely cold.

If Tang Seng had been more bold and had used a knife to cut the village woman, he would have found that there would not be a drop of blood flowing out at all.

"Uncle Takami, you can always believe that this woman did not die at the hands of the elder brother, right?"

"It's the demon in this mountain that just arrived, but this demon is good at possessing other people's corpses, this is just a small test of the knife, I'm afraid it will continue to be encountered later."

Li Zhi didn't explain it directly, but he also nodded at Tang Seng appropriately, as for whether it would ruin the Journey to the West, there would be so many fewer tribulations.

Then it's not his responsibility, isn't there still the chief planner who learned from the scriptures?

What should be done by others, he Li Zhi is always not good at acting on his behalf.

"Master, look, this basket of fragrant meals turned out to be all stones, toads—"

At this time, Zhu Bajie came over with the bamboo basket.

Zhu Bajie here, compared to another time and space, has already fallen out of a big realm in terms of cultivation in the same period, and when he comes up, his vision will naturally not be much lower.

"Amitabha, I see, Wukong, I blame you for being the teacher—"

Under the witness of the two phases, Tang Seng finally understood the truth.

"Jiulang, if you pass on that eye power to me, I won't be wrong about good or bad people in the future."

Tang Seng said on a whim, but Li Zhi had a black line.

"Uncle Clan, it's not that the little nephew refuses to pass you on, it's really that your cultivation is still a little worse, and this is still the two "ginseng fruits" that were forced to bring it up."

"In a short period of time, it is unlikely that you will make a big leap in the realm, and if you want to come to the big demon you will encounter again along the way, you probably won't be able to see it even if you learn it."

It's not that Li Zhi cherishes himself, Sun Wukong has passed it on, and it's not impossible to pass it on to Tang Seng again.

It's just that for Tang Seng, more precisely, he doesn't have any confidence about Tang Seng who turned into a golden cicada again after learning the scriptures.

Who knows if Tang Seng will recognize him as a "clan nephew" at that time?

Therefore, for Tang Seng's feelings, Li Zhi is quite entangled.

On the one hand, it is sincere communication and closeness, and on the other hand, he is also inexplicably worried about what may happen in the future.

With the growth of cultivation and the fact that he has seen several legendary powers, Li Zhi feels more and more that the drama of Journey to the West is not simple.

In the beginning, he just relied on the memories of later generations, an adventurous and playful state of mind.

Now think about it, their old Li family believes in Taoism seriously, and Taoism is the state religion of the Tang Dynasty, and even the two generations of monarchs of the Li family claim to be the descendants of the head of Taoism.

In this case, if Buddhism is introduced to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, what will be the result?

reach

In the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism, Li Zhiren's small arms are thin, and he can't control it, but what about his Li family?

Think of yourself in another space, and even more so your own "daughter-in-law", who is an out-and-out Buddhist!

Thinking of this, Li Zhi even regretted a little, he had the advantage of "foresight", why didn't he do something to prevent the slightest thing when he was in Datang?

Li Zhi's polite refusal did not cause Tang Seng to make further requests, perhaps he just said something casually on a whim.

Everyone ate the fresh peaches picked by Sun Wukong, rested for a while, and continued to travel west.

Since he already knew that there were demons in this mountain, he naturally had to take precautions, still Wukong was in front, and behind the Sha Seng Palace, Li Zhi and Bajie were supporting Tang Seng on the left and right.

The little white dragon has also increased his vigilance, but he is still in the form of a white dragon horse, so it can be more hidden, and he may be able to receive unexpected results at critical moments.

What made Li Zhi wonder was that he had walked more than a hundred miles, and the mountains had turned over three or five times, and he still hadn't seen the old woman who was supposed to appear?

"Senior brother, I feel that something is wrong, we seem to have reached a dead end?"

The mountains here are unusually barren, and in July, the mountains are supposed to be beautiful, the flowers and plants are abundant, but the mountains here are all bare, neither any grass nor trees, nor a single bird or beast.

The sky is gradually darkening, and no matter what it is today, you can't get out of this continuous White Tiger Ridge.

"It's a little weird, it seems...... Seems like we've already walked this path before?"

After careful identification, Sun Wukong found the clue, but Li Zhi inexplicably remembered the phantom of the Crouching Tiger.

"Senior brother, when you first entered the mountain, did you see that there is a phantom shadow of a crouching tiger in this continuous mountain, and this place is also called "White Tiger Ridge", could it be that there is a white tiger here?"

The white tiger here is not the mutated breed of the Bengal tiger that later generations said, but involves the four spirits of the sky.

As we all know, the green dragon, the white tiger, the vermilion bird, and the Xuanwu are the four spirits of the sky, also known as the four elephants, which is where the white tiger is located in the west.

"It shouldn't be, my grandson doesn't feel any anger, and since it gets dark, the death here is heavier, as if ...... It's like it's a huge graveyard."

Sun Wukong muttered, but Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he almost threw the rake in his hand.

"Senior brother, don't be startled, people will be scared to death, what a huge cemetery, why can't I feel it?"

After walking for most of the day, the little peaches eaten at noon had already been digested, and Zhu Bajie was hungry again.

Even if they realized that something was wrong, they could not stay far away, and they still cautiously groped their way forward, only to find that the road was becoming more and more difficult to walk.

"Master, follow closely, the road ahead is not easy."

"Master, if you don't put that 'brocade robe' on, that thing is also a treasure, and you will be blind in the package."

"Master......

Originally, Sun Wukong wanted to talk and distract Tang Seng's attention, but among these people, he was a little worse off as a master, with a body of cultivation, and his mentality was still in the realm of mortal monks.

As he was talking, Sun Wukong couldn't hear anyone's response, and turned around to see, where are the masters and disciples?

"Master—"

"Bajie, why did your senior brother go so fast? Go ahead and call him, don't go far."

In Tang Seng's eyes, the Monkey King in front of him just turned a mountain pass, and then ...... Then there is no one to be seen.

It was getting late, and Tang Seng's cultivation was ten zhang away, so he couldn't see it clearly, so he casually ordered Zhu Bajie to say.

The old pig himself was a little scared, always thinking about what the senior brother said about the big cemetery just now, but the master had an order, and he could only obey it.

Holding his "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake" in his hand, he took two steps to chase Sun Wukong.

"Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, where have you been? Wait a minute

We—"

Then, I couldn't hear Zhu Bajie's voice.

......

"Uncle Clan, let's stop, this should be an illusion, we are all fascinated."

Having lost contact with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie one after another, Li Zhi instinctively felt that he couldn't go any further.

Here is a mountain beam, looking around, smoke curls and fog rises.

It is said that with Li Zhi's ability to "break the delusion golden pupil", there should not be much difference between him during the day and at night, not to mention that he also has the skill of "clairvoyance".

However, standing on this mountain beam, he could only see a distance of dozens of zhang in a radius.

Li Zhi thought about it, suddenly bit the tip of his tongue, spurted out a mouthful of blood into the sky, and then shouted.

"Break it for me—"

The "Zixiao Divine Thunder Spear" had already been pulled out in his hand, and a ring stab was in front of him.

"Giggles, I didn't expect you, a human race cultivated as a "Heavenly Immortal", to be able to see through the illusion of the old lady? It's a pity, today is the night of the full moon, and even if you are a Da Luo Jin Immortal, you may not be able to please it."

An eerie female voice came, but Li Zhi couldn't discern her position.

"Are you Lady Bones? Why do you want to do it to us? It's just a corpse demon in the early stage of the "Golden Immortal", aren't you really afraid of death?"

It's not that Li Zhi is talking big, one is that he wants to suppress the other party, and the other is that even if the corpse demon appears, there is also the Sha Monk in the middle stage of the "Golden Immortal" and the little white dragon in the late stage of the "Golden Immortal", so he can't lose to the other party, right?

"Oh, you're a teenage Terran, and you know Lady Ben's name? It's also rare."

"Why do you want to do it, isn't that nonsense? Naturally, it's to eat Tang monk's meat."

"Tang Seng is a good person who cultivates in the tenth generation, I heard that you can live forever if you eat Tang Seng meat, and I naturally can't let you go when I come to this "White Tiger Ridge".

The illusion was trapped in Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, and it seemed that this white bone lady felt that she had won the battle, and there was no concealment, so she replied generously.

At this moment, Li Zhi was even more puzzled.

In fact, in later generations, countless people have analyzed why there have been rumors everywhere that eating Tang monk's meat can be immortal since the beginning of the white bone essence, where did this come from?

"Lady White Bone, I don't know who told you that you can live forever after eating the meat of the Tang Dynasty Holy Monk?"

If you have doubts in your heart, you naturally have to ask them.

"Hmph, you've talked too much, let's die—"

At this time, two swords came out of the void and stabbed Li Zhi viciously.

"Youkai, Sha Wujing is here, Hugh is rampant—"

Tang Seng was protected by Li Zhi, if Li Zhi was attacked, or hid to the side, then the next person to suffer must be Tang Seng.

Now that the demon has appeared, Monk Sha, who had been waiting for a long time, waved the "Demon Suppressing True Staff" in his hand and smashed it with his double swords.

"When—" There were two crisp sounds, and the "Demon Slayer True Staff" simply collapsed the opponent's two swords.

If you want to say that there is nothing else, Monk Sha's strength is really great.

Sometimes Li Zhi felt that he had been able to see the upper limit of this third senior brother's strength, but when he turned around, he found that he didn't seem to be doing his best?

"Hmph, you have the strength to take a few more swords from the old lady—"

At this time, the owner of the two swords also appeared, and it was indeed a woman.

I saw that this woman was tall, and in terms of the size of the later generations, she would be at least 1.75 meters or more.

I don't know if it was practiced or if it was originally so, but this woman's skeleton was obviously wide, not inferior to that of ordinary men.

A pair of male and female swords in his hand are similar to the weapons of the little white dragon.

is actually dressed in a palace dress, is she still a princess and a mother of which country?

Looking at his face, his face was pale and pale, without a trace of blood, and his eyes emitted a blue light.

"The heavenly river is leaking—

Lady White Bone couldn't help but say, and the two swords fell from the sky in one, stabbing directly at the sand monk standing on the ground.

A white practice fell, and Monk Sha seemed to feel that the "Demon Suppressing True Staff" in his hand seemed to be much heavier.

However, when facing demons, Monk Sha unconsciously had a sense of hatred, and this hatred came from the inheritance in the bloodline.

"Die—"

The two of them fought together, one "Demon Suppressing True Staff" was powerful, and the other was extremely fast and extremely killing.

Although Monk Sha is a small step higher than the realm of Lady White Bone, and the two are really fighting together, it is Lady White Bone who has more of the upper hand.

"The Heavenly River is leaking—"

"The Golden Lotus of the Earth—"

"The world is in the spring—"

"The earth shakes and the mountains shake—"

Li Zhi was stupid, not because the two of them fought too fiercely, but because he was shocked by Mrs. White Bone.

To be precise, he was shocked by the swordsmanship of the White Bone Lady.

"This ...... How is this possible?"

Over and over, Lady White Bone only used four swordsmanship to force Monk Sha to only parry, and had no power to fight back.

The realm can't catch up with him, but the swordsmanship of the White Bone Lady is too outstanding, and she can faintly use the power of heaven and earth.

Li Zhi kept waiting, waiting for Mrs. White Bone to make a new move.

He really wanted to know if this White Bone Lady would make it, "Flying Immortals Outside the Sky" or "Heaven and Man Unity", these are all tricks in the "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique"!

The "Heaven and Earth Sword Technique" that appeared with the "Cangming Technique", after breaking through to the "Heavenly Immortal" realm, Li Zhi had just begun to cultivate.

This White Bone Lady of White Tiger Ridge, why would she also use the swordsmanship he learned?
