Chapter 52: Three Conditions

Although he has been mentally prepared, the difficulty of climbing the mountain is far beyond Sanzang's expectations.

At sunset the next day, he was halfway up the mountain, and beyond that were five separate peaks.

At this time, Sanzang was hungry and thirsty, and his whole body was sore, if it wasn't for his sincere heart, he would have been unable to hold on to it.

Watching the red sun fall in the west again, Sanzang licked his chapped lips, then opened the water bag and carefully took a sip, then sat down on the boulder to rest.

Although there was still some dry food he carried, Sanzang didn't dare to eat it, because the more he ate, the more thirsty he became.

At the bottom of the five-fingered mountain, Xue Tianqing kept shaking his head: "Master, you gave me a good job!" That's it.,What if you let the monster catch it and gnaw it directly? ”

After being imprisoned in Wuzhi Mountain, Xue Tianqing spent a full ten years refining almost all of the Nuwa stones.

In today's Qiankun bag, there are only five stones that he deliberately left.

Unlike the aura, the power contained in the Nuwa stone brings a completely different experience to Xue Tianqing.

Although it was full of his body, he showed no trace of it, if it weren't for this, the Heavenly Tribulation would have found him a long time ago.

At this time, the snow and sunny cultivation are rare in the high world, even if Taishang Laojun is here, he can fight with it.

According to Xue Tianqing's current Taoism, he has long been able to get out of trouble, but in order to return to his hometown, he endured it.

Looking at Tang Sanzang's chapped lips in the picture, Xue Tianqing shook his head, and then stretched out his hand to point, and a stream appeared in the mountains not far away.

Sanzang on the stone felt that he had regained some strength, so he struggled to stand up and prepared to continue climbing.

At that moment, a murmuring sound suddenly reached his ears.

At first, Sanzang thought that he had heard it wrong, how could there be water flowing on such a desolate mountain!

But as the sound grew louder and louder, he finally determined that it was not an auditory hallucination. So regardless of the fatigue on his body, he ran and crawled towards the sound of the water.

Walking down the hillside to the west, a clear stream appeared in front of Sanzang.

First he knelt on the ground and thanked the Buddha, and then Sanzang buried his head in the water and drank a hearty drink.

It wasn't until he felt that he couldn't drink anymore that he sat on the ground and took out the bag of dry food.

After eating and drinking, Sanzang was originally ready to leave immediately, but looking at the darkening sky, he finally found a sheltered mountain nest and clothes to lie down.

Early the next morning, Sanzang had breakfast and filled the water bag again, and then he headed towards the main peak in high spirits.

When the sun set again, he finally reached the top of Wuzhi Mountain.

Although Wuzhi Mountain is unusually steep, the top of the mountain, which is 50 zhang in circumference, is very flat, and there is a huge rock lying horizontally on the northernmost side.

On the boulder, there is a yellow silk with six big golden characters - Om, Ma, Ng, Horn, Mi, and Ng.

Seeing the six-character mantra, Sanzang called the Buddha and bowed upside down.

Just as he was kneeling, a voice sounded: "Just a few words, do you need to be so excited?" ”

Sanzang looked up and looked around, but he still couldn't find half a figure: "What kind of monster is it, my Buddha's six-character mantra is here, if you dare to be presumptuous, you will never be reborn!" ”

"Please, take a good look at the six-character mantra is still there? Monk, the peaceful days of the people here can make you kowtow away this time, I see how you explain to your Buddha. ”

Sanzang looked at it when he heard this, only to find that Huang Aya, who was still on the stone just now, was gone.

Just as he was about to look around, a man in his twenties appeared in front of him out of thin air.

Seeing the man appear, Tang Sanzang was shocked: "Who are you?" ”

The man smiled evilly: "People? Do you think people would appear to you like this? ”

After speaking, he circled around Tang Sanzang twice: "This is the legendary Tang Imperial Brother, they all say that eating your meat can lead to immortality, is it true?" ”

Sanzang hurriedly explained: "Don't believe such nonsense, if this is the case, will I still live until now?" Someone must have wanted to kill the poor monk to make up such a lie! ”

The man first smiled, and then licked his lips involuntarily: "True or false, it's always a bloody food, and it's better to eat it than to be hungry." ”

After speaking, he forced Tang Sanzang step by step.

Sanzang was forced by the man to keep retreating, and at the same time he was secretly anxious: Didn't you say that the monster couldn't get close to Wuzhi Mountain for twenty miles, and now that he has reached the top of the mountain, why is Sun Potian still not powerful?

Seeing that there was a cliff behind him, Tang Sanzang suddenly said: "The king is slow, please listen to me." ”

The man stopped: "What else can you say when death comes?" ”

"Does the king know the origin of the immortals in the heavenly court?"

Seeing the man's puzzled face, Sanzang continued: "Most of the immortals in the Heavenly Court are cultivated by elves, and they have devoted themselves to cultivation since the beginning of their spiritual wisdom, and they are dedicated to goodness, and finally they ascended to Sendai and achieved immortality. ”

The man became more and more puzzled: "What do you want to say?" ”

"Great King, if the Great King is dedicated to goodness, he will eventually be able to achieve the Golden Body of Positive Fruit like the gods of the Heavenly Court. But if the king kills and does evil, I am afraid that he will fall into the hell of Ah Bi in the future. ”

The man's eyes widened when he heard this: "My God, you can really do it, you can say such things in order to survive!" But this can only coax children, and it is useless to me, so I should die obediently. ”

After speaking, the man stretched out his right hand and pinched Tang Sanzang's neck.

Sanzang closed his eyes when he saw this: My life is over.

At this moment, a woman's voice sounded: "Wukong, don't tease your master." ”

When Sanzang heard this, he opened his eyes and saw an auspicious cloud in the air, and a woman with a fairy aura fluttering on the head of the cloud and holding a jade net bottle stood tall.

"Bodhisattva, or I'd better go back to Wuzhi Mountain, Taishang Laojun also said, and he will suppress me for five hundred years. I think even if I stay here for another 500 years, it will be better than sending this old monk to Lingshan. ”

Xue Tianqing was bargaining with the Bodhisattva, but Tang Sanzang hurriedly bowed: "The poor monk sees Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”

The Bodhisattva said: "Tang Sanzang, the road to the west is thousands of miles, not only the mountains and rivers are steep, but the rivers are boundless; There are also many spirits eyeing each other. If you want to reach Lingshan safely, you need someone to support you all the way, and this Monkey King is the one who will protect you to the west. ”

Seeing Sanzang looking at himself, Xue Tianqing bared his teeth: "I teased you just now." ”

The Bodhisattva snorted: "After twenty years of concentrating on cultivating your nature, you are still so stubborn, you should really be directly suppressed for five hundred years." ”

Xue Tianqing looked helpless when she heard this: "I said it just now, it's better to go back to the mountain and wait for five hundred years." ”

"Why?"

Xue Tianqing blinked her eyes, trying to recall what Sun Wukong said in Journey to the West: "Don't hide it from the Bodhisattva, this Sanzang Master will definitely suffer step by step along the way, and there should be disasters everywhere." In addition, he is a mortal in the flesh, once there is an accident, who is it? ”

"Wukong, what the hell do you care?"

Xue Tianqing's figure came to the Bodhisattva's side in a flash: "Bodhisattva, don't say dark words in front of the Ming." As soon as the following encounters the mountain spirit monster, he will die in one bite. Don't forget, I'm just a man with two hands, and there are a lot of monsters, do you think I can take care of it? ”

The Bodhisattva pondered for a moment: "Wukong, tell me about your conditions." ”

Xue Tianqing clapped his hands: "A Bodhisattva is a Bodhisattva, smart!" It's not impossible for me to accompany him to Lingshan, but you have to promise me three conditions. ”

The Bodhisattva smiled and pointed to Xue Tianqing: "You can really pick the opportunity, but it doesn't hurt to say it." ”

Xue Tianqing stretched out a finger and said, "First of all, you can't put any tight spells on me, otherwise I'd rather die of pain than accompany him to Lingshan." ”

The Bodhisattva was stunned when he heard this: "What is the Tightening Mantra?" I've never heard of anything like this. ”

Xue Tianqing's eyes rolled: "You don't know? That's when I didn't say it! The second condition is whether you can give this old monk something to save his life, I'm really afraid that one of them won't be taken care of, so the monster will eat him. As you know, youkai cannibalism isn't that much of a thing, and maybe it's just a bite if you catch it. ”

The Bodhisattva nodded: "This matter is easy to do, I have a brocade lanthanum robe here, which was made by the Buddha himself." What do you think of wearing it to avoid sinking, not to fall into hell, not to suffer from vicious suffering, not to encounter the disaster of blood and light? ”

Xue Tianqing was surprised: "There really is such a thing!" ”

The Bodhisattva was puzzled: "The robe is made by the Buddha, and no third person knows about it except the Buddha and me, how do you know?" ”

Xue Tianqing bared his teeth: "I must have guessed, I still need to say this." In that case, then our first condition is fulfilled. ”

The Bodhisattva stretched out his hand: "Wait, this is the second condition." ”

"No, the first condition is originally nothing, and it can't be counted!"

The Bodhisattva clasped his hands together: "The monks don't speak, the first condition just now is what you think in your heart." ”

Xue Tianqing gritted his teeth: "Okay, then it's two conditions, and there is a third!" ”

Speaking of this, he looked at the sky: "You also know that I have some festivals with Heavenly Court, if they know that I will protect Tang Seng to go west, there is a chance that they will secretly make trouble." Once that time comes, if you kill a few heavenly soldiers, you can take care of me. ”

The Bodhisattva looked at Xue Tianqing with a smile: "What are you going to do?" ”

Xue Tianqing's eyes were cold: "God blocks and kills God, Buddha blocks and kills Buddha!" ”

The Bodhisattva didn't seem to hear Xue Tianqing's words: "Wukong, how about I pass on the same skills to you again?" ”

Seeing Xue Tianqing looking at him suspiciously, the Bodhisattva continued: "The technique of changing hairs, just one hair can turn into another you. ”

Xue Tianqing shook her head without hesitation and said, "I told you before, I don't want to become a bald scoop, even if it can still grow, it hurts me to pull out my hair." ”

Seeing that the snow is sunny and not learning, the Bodhisattva is not reluctant: "Wukong, don't be half-hearted on the way west, and when you get to Lingshan to see the Buddha, you will definitely be able to return your golden body." Although your cultivation is good now, you are a scattered immortal body, and you will eventually be deficient. Only when the Da Luo Golden Body is achieved can the merit be considered complete. ”

Xue Tianqing sighed: "Bodhisattva, to tell you something from the heart, I really don't have a golden body in your mouth. But don't worry, since I promised you at the beginning, I will definitely send Tang Sanzang to Lingshan. ”

"Wukong, how difficult it is on the way to the west, if you really encounter difficulties that you can't get over, I will guarantee that you will be called Tiantianying and the earth spirit."

Then the Bodhisattva looked at Tang Sanzang on the top of the mountain: "Tang Sanzang, this is your big apprentice Sun Wukong, he once broke tens of thousands of heavenly soldiers alone, with him by your side, peace of mind." ”
