Seeing that Xue Tianqing had received the eight precepts, the Bodhisattva turned around and wanted to leave.

At this moment, Tang Sanzang suddenly stepped forward: "Bodhisattva, the disciple has something unclear, and I ask the Bodhisattva to teach me." ”

Seeing the Bodhisattva nodding, Sanzang continued: "When I was in the Two Realms Mountain, the tiger spirit who plundered me once said that if you eat the flesh of a poor monk, you can live forever, and the reason for this is to ask the Bodhisattva to give advice. ”

Guanyin sighed softly: "Fame and fortune are moving, and immortals are not immune." This matter is all because some people can't see the glory of my Zen door in the world, and their hearts are dissatisfied. Remember, as long as you keep your heart, you will be able to see the face of the Buddha. ”

After speaking, Guanyin Bodhisattva rose straight into the sky and disappeared.

Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: Is it a rumor that you can live forever after eating Tang monk's meat?

It's right to think about it, people like the Jade Emperor and Master have to fight for their lives with the sky, not only practicing every day, but also refining pills to strengthen the essence and keep the yuan, so as to slow down aging.

If you can eat some monk's meat and you can live forever, immortal and immortal, then the gods and Buddhas will become a joke.

After coming back to his senses, Xue Tianqing immediately shouted: "Bodhisattva wait, how can we cross the Eagle Sorrow Stream?" ”

It's just that his voice hasn't landed yet, and Guanyin Bodhisattva has risen into the sky, and no trace is gone.

Xue Tianqing chased after him, but Bajie on the side said: "Senior brother, don't worry, the eagle is not sad, but today is not the time." ”

Seeing that the snow was sunny and incomprehensible, Bajie explained: "The eagle is sad and can spend two days, but not a single day, and today is a single day, so it can't be passed." ”

Seeing that Xue Tianqing was still puzzled, Bajie came to the truth of the matter one by one.

This Eagle Sorrow Stream was originally not called Eagle Sorrow Stream, but called Lishui River, and the water level at that time was not as low as it is now.

At the beginning, there were not only boatmen ferrying boatmen on the Lishui River, but also a bridge across the east and west.

I don't want to think that 500 years ago, a white dragon who violated the rules of heaven was suppressed here.

Although the evil dragon was suppressed, it still made waves in the Lishui River, and many pedestrians suffered for a while.

Fortunately, it wasn't long before there were heavenly soldiers and generals who were ready to kill the evil dragon.

But the evil dragon didn't want to be killed, so he fought with the heavenly soldiers and generals.

The battle was earth-shattering, and although the heavenly soldiers and generals finally killed the evil dragon, they also suffered heavy casualties.

This battle not only completely destroyed the bridge, but also caused the water level of the Lishui River to drop significantly, and since then people cannot walk, and boats cannot cross.

The evil dragon is dead, and the dragon soul is endless, but because it is trapped under the water and cannot leave, it can only lure the living beings here to feed on their essence.

Since the bridge is no longer there, pedestrians cannot cross the river from there, so they have to take a detour.

In this way, the dragon soul could only turn its gaze to the birds and beasts here.

As a result, it turned the original sparkling river surface into a mirror-like mirror, attracting birds to take the bait, which is also the origin of the name Eagle Sorrow Stream.

Later, a master of the family passed by this place and saw that the dragon soul was extremely miserable, so he ignited it.

In the end, he purified his soul with great mana, and let it turn into a jade bridge in two days, helping people cross the river to forgive their sins.

The master told the dragon soul that when his sins were atoned for, someone would rescue him from the sea of suffering.

After the master purified the dragon soul, most of the essence it had eaten collapsed, forming the white mist in the current stream.

Although he no longer does evil, because the dragon soul is too powerful, if he stays in the eagle stream for a long time, he will definitely be eroded by its yin qi, so the nearest town here is also ten miles away.

On a double day, pedestrians will immediately cross the Jade Bridge and reach the opposite bank.

But on a single day, the merchants and the people would stay in the town for one night, and then cross the river together the next day.

After listening to Bajie's story, Xue Tianqing glanced at Tang Sanzang: "I said that I would stay in that town for one night before leaving, you have to continue to hurry." How about now? I'm going to spend the night on the shore tonight. ”

Sanzang frowned and said, "Gang Bajie said that the dragon soul is too powerful and will erode the yang energy of mortals, if you spend the night here, is it a little inappropriate?" ”

Xue Tianqing helplessly pointed to the robe on Sanzang's body: "What did Guanyin Bodhisattva give you this thing for, have you forgotten?" It's there, don't talk about the dragon soul, even if the evil dragon is still there, there's nothing you can do. ”

After comforting Sanzang, Xue Tianqing said to Bajie again: "You have been here for so many years, do you know any caves or other places, you can't stay in the wilderness overnight tonight." ”

Bajie smiled: "The younger brother has practiced for thousands of years, doesn't he have his own cave?" Master, brother, please come with me. ”

When she was young, looking at the mansion-like cave, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but swallow her saliva: "I said Bajie, you have a good life, there is such a place, why do you have to go to learn scriptures?" ”

Bajie Zhengse said: "Senior brother, no matter how happy I am here, I am just a mountain spirit and a wild monster." Only by going to Lingshan and achieving positive results is the right way. ”

Tang Sanzang also coughed lightly: "Wukong, don't talk nonsense." ”

Xue Tianqing smiled: "What's nonsense, I just want to see if my junior brother is sincere enough to go to the West Heaven." It's not too early, let's have a good rest and set off as soon as possible tomorrow. ”

There was nothing to say that night, and Tang Sanzang got up early the next day and left after washing.

Xue Tianqing grabbed Sanzang and said, "Master, why are you going?" ”

"Cross the eagle sorrowful stream and go to Lingshan."

Xue Tianqing smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, you wait for a while, and wait for me to explore the way." ”

After speaking, without waiting for Sanzang to agree, he disappeared in front of him, and the next moment he appeared on the Eagle Sorrow Stream.

Looking at a crystal clear bridge across the empty Eagle Sorrow Stream yesterday, Xue Tianqing secretly said to himself: No wonder Bajie said that it was a jade bridge, which was really like a beautiful jade carving.

When he opened his vain eyes, he saw a white dragon lying across the stream.

The dragon's head is in the east, the dragon's tail is in the west, and the dragon's body is still bubbling with a trace of yin.

It's just that unlike ordinary souls, although this dragon soul is a soul, it has almost been realized, otherwise it would not be possible to transform into a jade bridge.

Xue Tianqing shook her head with some regret: After coming to this world, I have seen the shadow of a dragon several times, but I have never seen a real dragon. It's easy to see one now, but it's still a soul.

Not wanting to look at the dragon head again, Xue Tianqing actually found that the dragon soul was looking at him coldly.

Seeing this, Xue Tianqing fell into the clouds, came to the dragon soul, and stretched out his hand to grab a dragon whisker: "It's all a yin soul, and you dare to have bad thoughts, you don't know whether you live or die!" Pave the way and build a bridge here to atone for the sins of the past, or I will let your soul fly away! “

After the dragon's whiskers were caught, the dragon soul let out a wail.

Although he couldn't speak, he was asking Xue Tianqing to let him go with a howl that was almost pleading.

Xue Tianqing let go of the dragon's beard: "Honestly incarnate as a bridge, let the people reach the other side safely, and wait for the sins to be atoned for, there will be an opportunity." ”

When he returned to the cave, Tang Sanzang was already a little impatient.

If it hadn't been for Bajie's obstruction, it is estimated that he would have arrived at the Eagle Sorrow Stream a long time ago.

Seeing that Xue Tianqing nodded at himself, Bajie breathed a sigh of relief: "Senior brother, in fact, I'm also afraid of accidents, it's a ghost after all, who knows if it will go back on its word." Don't forget, eating Master's meat can not only make you immortal, but also increase your cultivation, which is estimated to have spread throughout the demon world. ”

Xue Tianqing smiled: "Do you believe it?" ”

"A fool only believes that if this were the case, Master would have been eaten to the point that there would be no scum left."

When they came to the side of the Eagle Sorrow Stream, Xue Tianqing protected Sanzang in front, Bajie led the horses behind, and the three masters and apprentices boarded the jade bridge formed by the dragon soul.

At first, Xue Tianqing was extra cautious, for fear that some moths would come out of the ghast.

Seeing that the other side was already close at hand, his heart was in his stomach.

Turning his head to look at Bajie and the horses following behind him, Xue Tianqing smiled softly: "I don't know how many bridges I have crossed in my life, but the bridge made of souls is the first time I have crossed." ”

Bajie smiled: "Although I live next to this bridge, I have never walked it. ”

Xue Tianqing was puzzled: "Why? ”

Bajie sighed lightly: "Don't hide it from Senior Brother, when I walk in this kind of transparent place, I always feel a little uneasy in my heart, and I can't even move my legs and feet." ”

Xue Tianqing laughed: "Do you know what this is called?" This is called acrophobia. If mortals have a fear of heights, forget it, but you are an elf, how can you control the clouds if you have a fear of heights? ”

Bajie was a little embarrassed: "I can't hide it, I don't know how to control clouds, I know some methods of soaring clouds, and I am only two or three zhang high from the ground." ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: After cultivating for thousands of years, he is not very good at driving the clouds, what kind of existence is his junior brother?

Just when the snow was clear, I suddenly felt a shake under my feet, so I secretly said in my heart that it was not good.

Fortunately, at this time, the master and apprentice were less than a foot offshore, so Xue Tianqing grabbed Tang Seng and threw him to the shore, regardless of whether he fell out of the way.

It's just that when he turned around and wanted to save Bajie again, it was too late.

I saw that the bridge under my feet turned into a white dragon, wrapped in Bajie and horses, and rushed towards the depths of the Eagle Stream.

Xue Tianqing was just about to chase after him, but he heard Sanzang on the shore shouting: "Wukong save me!" ”

Xue Tianqing looked up, but saw that he had just thrown Tang Sanzang directly to the tree on the shore because of his excessive force.

At this time, Sanzang, the whole person was hanging in the air two zhang high, and only the corner of the monk's robe was hanging on the tree, which could fall at any time.

Xue Tianqing shook her head helplessly, flashed to Sanzang's side, and gently put him on the ground.

As soon as he reached the ground, Sanzang rushed to the edge of the Eagle Sorrow Stream with an arrow step, and shouted below: "Bajie, where are you?" ”

Xue Tianqing hurriedly pulled Tang Sanzang back: "Master, don't call it up, don't call it up, and then put you in." ”

Helping Sanzang to sit down on a big rock, Xue Tianqing sighed: "This bodhisattva hides his head and tail when he does something, just tell me that there is something here!" ”

Sanzang was displeased when he heard this: "Wukong, don't speak ill of the Bodhisattva behind your back, Amitabha!" ”

"Master, how can this be called saying bad things about her behind her back, even if I dare to say it in front of her, I don't believe that she doesn't know that there is a dragon soul in the Eagle Sorrow Stream."

Sanzang shook his head: "Wukong, don't lie about it, the Bodhisattva is like this, and she must have her deep meaning." ”

Xue Tianqing said: "Whether you have a deep meaning, or if you don't have a deep meaning, I'll talk about it later." Now you wait here, I'll go and save Bajie and the horses. ”

Who wants Sanzang to grab Xue Tianqing: "Wukong, no!" ”
