Xue Tianqing, who left Zuojiazhuang, did not go directly to the quicksand river, but circled around the village.

It took almost an hour for him to come to the river, and he put his hand in the water and tried it repeatedly.

In the end, he came to the conclusion that the water of the quicksand river was ordinary water.

Since it is an ordinary river, why doesn't everything float?

After a long time, he opened his vain eyes and looked into the distance, only to see wisps of fluorescence rising from all over the water.

When he was young, Xue Tianqing jumped into the air and drove the clouds towards the river with great care.

Less than ten zhang away from the riverbank, he saw that countless fluorescents had turned into silk threads and rushed towards him.

Seeing this, Xue Tianqing returned to the river bank in a flash, and then turned his head to look.

In the blink of an eye, the fluorescent silk thread had reached the point where he had just stood, and the speed was staggering.

Sensing that the target was gone, the silk thread retracted a little reluctantly, and then turned into a fluorescent flicker.

Looking at the strange scene, Xue Tianqing was taken aback: Could it be that this river is alive?

But soon he felt that something was wrong, why didn't he have anything to do with the fact that he had just put his hand into the water?

Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing put her hand into the water again, and then saw countless fluorescent lights pounce like hungry wolves, and burrow into the flesh.

But for some reason, after the fluorescence touched the palm of the hand, it turned around like a flood beast.

It's just that although the fluorescence in front turned around and left, the one behind still moved forward bravely, and for a while his hand became a ball of light.

Seeing that some of the filaments of light even came from miles away, Xue Tianqing was secretly surprised, are these filaments fighting separately or as a whole?

If you are fighting on their own, then the sense of smell of these things is too sensitive!

But if it's a whole, doesn't it know that it can't do harm to itself?

After a long time, Xue Tianqing waved his hand and grabbed a foraging hare from the grass and held it in his palm.

"I'm sorry, I'll have a good baby in my next life." With that, he stretched out his hand and placed the hare above the water.

In the next moment, the filaments of light that did not retreat swooped over like a tide, and finally pierced directly into the hare's body.

To his surprise, although almost wrapped in a light cocoon, the hare did not seem to notice it.

Suddenly, Xue Tianqing felt his hand sink, and it turned out that the fluorescent began to exert force, trying to drag the hare into the water.

It was only then that the creature in his hand sensed that something was wrong and began to struggle desperately.

Xue Tianqing did not let go immediately, but looked at the bottom of the water along the fluorescent light.

It's just that even if he has a false eye, he can't see what is happening in the clear water. Eventually, he had to let go and let the fluorescent hares out of the water.

After Xue Tianqing withdrew his hand, the water surface finally returned to its original appearance, and there was no abnormality except for the slightest fluorescence that ordinary people could not see.

A moment later, Xue Qing drove up the river to see if there was any other way to cross the river, but in the end he was disappointed.

When Xue Tianqing returned to the stele here, he stayed by the river for a while and prepared to return to Zuojiazhuang.

Who would have thought that just as he turned around, he suddenly heard the sound of water splitting from behind, and turned his head to see that he couldn't help but be there.

There seemed to be two invisible walls in the water, separating them out of thin air, revealing a riverbed full of pebbles.

Looking at the alley formed by the water wall, Xue Tianqing frowned: Is this a kind invitation or a malicious trap?

After pondering for a moment, Xue Tianqing turned around and walked towards the river.

The moment he stepped to the bottom of the river, he felt a sense of fatigue.

When I was in my hometown, I was just an ordinary one of hundreds of millions of people, so why did I have to find a way to go back?

In this mythical world, although one's own cultivation cannot be said to be top-notch, it is also above ten thousand people.

In this case, why do you want to go to the West Heaven like an entourage, Tang Seng who keeps his mortal body?

Not to mention the difficulties and dangers on the road, ghosts and monsters are rampant, even if you reach Lingshan, what can you do and become a Buddha?

Even if you become a Buddha, what's the fun? How can there be a king in the mountains and a happy life in the Wuthering Mountains?

The mortal world is a place abandoned by gods, and the gods and Buddhas in the sky only know how to ask for it, but they never think of reciprocating, what is the point of such gods and Buddhas?

In a trance, Xue Tianqing suddenly felt a light in front of him, and when he looked up, he found that there was an underwater palace not far away, a palace made of translucent crystal.

The first time she saw the palace, Xue Tianqing blurted out: "Crystal Palace!" ”

On the gate of the palace, a night pearl the size of a bowl is shining dazzlingly, illuminating the vicinity.

Under the reflection of white light, the whole palace is like an ice carving, crystal clear, and beautiful.

Just when Xue Tianqing stopped to watch, an unusually sweet voice came from the hall: "Brother, don't you come in yet?" ”

Xue Tianqing's body shook when she heard this, and then she seemed to have lost her ability to judge, and involuntarily walked towards the hall.

Although the night pearl is full of light, the crystal used as the wall is not completely transparent, so the palace gives people a hazy feeling.

In the depths of the palace facing the gate, there is a phoenix couch carved from amethyst, which emits a fascinating brilliance under the backdrop of the night pearl.

On the phoenix couch, an unusually beautiful woman was half-leaning there, dressed in a light veil and half-covering her jade body, which could be called a stunner in the world.

Seeing that Xue Tianqing stood still, the woman sneered: "Brother, let me wait so hard, why did you come now?" ”

Although there was no sparkle in her eyes, Xue Tianqing still smiled: "It's better to come late than not at all." ”

The woman covered her mouth: "My brother is here, do you still want to leave?" ”

"Why are you leaving? Instead of keeping that old monk to go to Lingshan, it is better to spend a lifetime with his sister here. As she spoke, Xue Tianqing's face had a strange look.

The woman got up and came to Xue Tianqing, putting her hands on his shoulders: "My sister has been waiting for you here, waiting for you to grow old together." ”

Hearing this, Xue Tianqing smiled dumbly: "The Jade Emperor has to fight for his life with the sky, how can you and I be spared?" It's not so much about getting old as about spending the rest of your life together. ”

"Brother, have you forgotten that you can live forever if you eat Tang monk's meat. As long as my brother can lead Sanzang here, you and I can be a happy couple forever. ”

Xue Tianqing nodded and said, "My sister is very right, I'll go and catch the old monk." ”

The woman grabbed Xue Tianqing: "As long as Sanzang is introduced into the river, he will be a fish to be slaughtered." ”

Then she whispered a few words in Xue Tianqing's ear, and finally chuckled: "My sister is here waiting for my brother to return, and the day Sanzang arrives is the time when you and I are compatible." ”

When the woman spoke, the pungent aroma went straight to Xue Tianqing's nose, making his heart ripple.

Suddenly, he hugged the woman in his arms: "Why can't you do good things now?" ”

The woman's figure slipped and broke free: "I've been waiting for you for so many years, aren't you willing to wait for me for a moment?" ”

Xue Tianqing chuckled and said, "Sister, wait a minute, I will bring the Sanzang master and apprentice here." ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out of the palace, and his steps seemed to be as firm as he had never been.

Looking at Xue Tianqing's back, there was a mist in the woman's eyes: "It's been more than seven hundred years, and you're finally back, but how did you become like this." ”

……

After Xue Tianqing left, Bajie wanted to serve the master and rest early. But for some reason, there is always an inexplicable irritability in Sanzang's heart.

Seeing that the ugly time is over, and the snow has not come back, Sanzang will wake up the napping Bajie.

"Bajie, how many hours has your senior brother been there, and there is no news at all, why don't you go out and have a look?"

Bajie was a little embarrassed: "Master, Senior Brother told you to take good care of you." What if I leave, what if something happens? ”

Sanzang smiled: "What accidents can I have in Zuojiazhuang?" You've also heard during the banquet that there have never been monsters here, so rest assured. ”

"In that case, Master, be careful, I'll go and go back."

After Bajie finished speaking, he picked up the nail rake and was about to go out, but he almost collided with Xue Tianqing when he arrived at the door.

"Senior brother, why did it take so long to come back? Master was in a hurry. ”

Xue Tianqing smiled: "Master, I have found a way to cross the river, but I may have to wronged you." ”

Sanzang said: "As long as you can cross the river to the west, no matter how big the grievance is, it is not a grievance!" Wukong, how about we leave immediately? ”

Xue Tianqing hurriedly said, "Why is Master so anxious? You better rest for a while, and wait until you have enough spirit to resign to the owner tomorrow. The owner of the village is so hospitable, we can't just leave without saying hello. ”

Sanzang nodded when he heard this, and then went to bed to rest under the service of Bajie.

After Bajie also fell asleep, Xue Tianqing sat in the hall, looking at the door with his eyes and not knowing what to think.

The next day, Sanzang didn't even eat breakfast, so he went to say goodbye to the owner of the left village.

Hearing that the three of them were leaving, the disappointment on the owner's face was greater than his surprise, but he didn't say anything.

Although the hour was still early, he still ordered someone to prepare breakfast for Sanzang.

Sanzang wanted to refuse, but was stopped by Xue Tianqing.

Although it is an exaggeration to say that the quicksand river is 800 miles wide on the stone tablet, there are still 100 miles away, and I don't know how much effort it takes to cross the river alone, so I don't care about this time and a half.

Hearing this, Sanzang reluctantly sat down with patience and eagerness.

Although it was only breakfast, the dishes were as rich as yesterday.

Seeing that Sanzang was guarding a large table of dishes, but he had no appetite at all, the owner was quite helpless.

It was still under the persuasion of Xue Tianqing that Sanzang barely ate a few bites.

In the end, the owner of the village looked at the banquet that was almost untouched, smiled bitterly, and ordered his subordinates to take out the dry food that had been prepared long ago.

Sanzang wanted to excuse himself, but was stopped by Xue Tianqing.

Walking in the water is not as good as at other times, and he can't do it while supporting Sanzang and going out to make a relationship.

Seeing this, Sanzang could only thank the owner and accept the dry food.

The owner of the village took the whole village to the entrance of the village, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the master and apprentice.

After coming out for a few miles, Sanzang looked back at Zuojiazhuang, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: Looking at this Xiniu Hezhou is indeed a place of worship and worship, compared with Datang, it has already fallen behind.

Thinking of this, he made up his mind that he must welcome the Mahayana teachings back to the Tang Dynasty, so that every family in Nanbu Zhou will worship the Buddha, and every household will believe in Shamen.
