Chapter Seventy-Six: The Opposite Itinerary
Hei Wuchang's weird smile not only made Xue Tianqing feel abnormal, but Qingyue was the same.
On the way, she kept asking what was going on in the side hall on a sunny day.
Although Xue Tianqing told everything truthfully except for the agreed things, Qingyue still looked suspicious.
Zhenhaizhu is indeed extraordinary, even if the group has left the Crystal Palace for a hundred miles, the underwater path is still as stable as Mount Tai.
Three days later, the three masters and apprentices and Qingyue finally landed on the west bank of the Liusha River.
Looking at the endless flow of the river, Xue Tianqing sighed: Who knows how many unjust souls there are in the river?
Seeing this, Qingyue snorted: "What? It's only been a few days since you've been away and you're starting to miss it? ”
Xue Tianqing looked helpless: "In front of the master, what nonsense?" ”
"He's your master, not my master. Tell me the truth, what the hell did that woman say to you? ”
Xue Tianqing laughed more ugly than crying when she heard this: "Grandma, what I regret the most now is that I didn't take you in, otherwise there would be so much trouble." ”
Qingyue will be suspicious: "Okay, even if you don't hide it, I believe you." ”
After speaking, he helped him tidy up his clothes: "It's a long way to go west, so you must be careful." ”
Without waiting for Xue Tianqing to nod, Qingyue then whispered: "If you are worried about your life, you don't need to pay attention to the old monk and just run for your life." ”
In Xue Tianqing's surprised gaze, she said with a tangled face: "Why don't you swear again?" ”
It's just that as soon as the words came out, I felt that it was inappropriate, so I changed my words: "When you come back, you have to come back to me first, otherwise you won't want to see me in this life!" ”
Seeing that the snow was clear, Qingyue drove the clouds into the sky.
Looking at the direction in which Qingyue was leaving, Sanzang asked, "Wukong, who is this?" ”
"My nephew, I told the master before, and before following you, the disciple had a master."
"Wukong, the monks need to be pure, and they must not covet the red dust woman, otherwise it will be difficult to see the face of the Buddha."
Xue Tianqing smiled bitterly: "Master, Qingyue is my nephew, don't think about it." Besides, Bajie and I just kept you west to Lingshan, but we didn't convert to Buddhism, so we can only be counted as followers. ”
Sanzang smiled and said, "If you two don't think this place is shabby, how about shaving your degree as a teacher?" ”
Xue Tianqing hurriedly waved his hand: "Excuse me, I guarantee that you go to Lingshan and escape into the empty gate are two different things." ”
Seeing that Bajie also did not nod, Sanzang was slightly disappointed but did not say much, but took the lead and went west.
Looking at Sanzang's back, Bajie turned his head and said, "Senior brother, did you break Master's heart just now?" ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "If there is a Buddha in your heart, there are spiritual mountains everywhere; If there is no Buddha in your heart, even if the spiritual mountain is at your feet, you will not be able to see it. ”
Bajie blinked his eyes and said, "Then do you have a Buddha in your heart?" ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I have always had a Buddha in my heart, but I don't have the Buddha on the Spirit Mountain." ”
Seeing that Bajie was puzzled, Xue Tianqing smiled again: "Master is far away, hurry up and follow." ”
Bajie muttered: "There is a Buddha in the heart, but there is no Buddha, what kind of Buddha is the Buddha in the heart?" ”
After leaving the quicksand river, the three masters and apprentices went all the way to the west without stopping, walking thousands of miles away.
As I was walking on this day, I suddenly saw a dense forest in front of me.
Although it is late autumn, the trees are still lush and the forest is full of flowers.
Sanzang grabbed his mount and said, "Apprentices, it's a good place to live. ”
Xue Tianqing said with a smile: "All the way to the west, there are many desirable scenery along the way, why does Master love this?" ”
I don't want Sanzang to sigh: "This place reminds me of the woods behind the Huasheng Temple, the same dense, the same flourishing, the same flowers. ”
Xue Tianqing said: "When we get to Lingshan to see the face of the Buddha, you and I will return to Datang immediately, and then build a separate Zen temple for you after the Huasheng Temple." ”
Sanzang shook his head: "You misunderstood as a teacher, when I left Chang'an, His Majesty asked me when I would return." As a teacher, he replied that it would take as little as three years, and at most five years before returning to the country. It has been more than a year since Chang'an, but it is not known where Lingshan is, and how to return to Datang. ”
Xue Tianqing laughed: "Master, as the saying goes, there is a Buddha in the heart, and there are spiritual mountains everywhere; There is no Buddha in the heart, and the spiritual mountain is not visible at the feet. If the master is shaken, I am afraid that he will not be able to see the spiritual mountain for the rest of his life. ”
Although Bajie scoffed at Xue Tianqing's old words and new theories, Tang Sanzang was like an empowerment: "Thank you Wukong for your advice." After speaking, he dismounted and prepared to pay homage.
Xue Tianqing hurriedly held Sanzang up: "This can't be helped, if you say a few words, you will bow down, the teachings along the way, don't I want to give you my life?" ”
After picking up Sanzang, Xue Tianqing said again: "Since Master thinks the scenery here is very beautiful, then rest for a while, I will go to fast, and then set off after eating." ”
After saying that, he instructed Bajie to take care of the master, and Xue Tianqing drove the clouds to make a relationship for the two.
Seeing that the snow was clear and leaving, Bajie helped Sanzang to sit down on the stone, and then stood aside with a nail rake in his hand, like the Buddha's protector Vajra.
Seeing this, Sanzang smiled bitterly and said: "Bajie, the scenery here is beautiful, how can there be demons and monsters, don't worry." ”
Bajie shook his head: "Although the scenery here is pleasant, there are no people in front and back, which is quite strange and should not be careless." ”
Sanzang was stunned when he heard this: Yes, along the way, why haven't you seen people?
At this moment, a roar resounded through the mountains and forests, and the birds scattered in all directions, and the beasts disappeared.
The master and apprentice turned around sharply, and saw a large insect with a length of more than a foot rushing towards the two, and even directly knocked off many trees on the way.
Bajie raised his eyebrows: "What a big insect, presumably the strangeness of this place has something to do with it, Master is sitting here, I will meet this beast." ”
By the time Sanzang said the words "be careful", Bajie had already rushed out of the distance with a nine-tooth nail rake.
Seeing Bajie coming head-on, the big insect roared and rose into the air and pounced straight over.
Bajie turned sideways to let go of the big worm, handed the nail rake to his left hand, and stretched out his right hand to grab its tail.
Immediately afterwards, Bajie threw the big insect out with his right hand, and he didn't know how many trees he broke along the way.
Fortunately, the skin of the big insect is rough and thick, and although it fell heavily on the ground, its body was not half damaged.
Even so, the big insect also knew the power of Bajie, so he fled to the forest without looking back.
Seeing this, Bajie was willing to put it, so he chased after him with a nail rake, and threw Sanzang and one person next to the woods.
Just when Sanzang was uneasy, a gust of wind broke out, and then a monster with a rat head and a human body appeared in front of him.
"You are Tang Sanzang?" After the monster finished speaking, he didn't wait for Sanzang to speak, grabbed it, and dragged it north.
Speaking of Bajie alone, he chased for several miles, and suddenly saw the other party turn into a big man in the shape of a big man, and fled into the distance with a strong wind.
Seeing this situation, Bajie just wanted to catch up, but his heart suddenly moved, and then he turned around and walked back.
It's just that when I got to the edge of the forest, I saw the white horse standing there alone, and Sanzang was gone.
Just when Bajie was at a loss, he suddenly heard a loud shout above his head: "Bajie, where is Master?" ”
It turned out to be a snowy day and a sunny day.
Looking at Bajie, who was in a daze, Xue Tianqing fell into the clouds: "What happened?" ”
After listening to what happened, Xue Tianqing said hatefully: "I fell for the other party's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain." ”
Bajie was puzzled: "Senior brother, that monster is indeed a tiger spirit." ”
Xue Tianqing looked at Bajie speechlessly: "You are guarding the horses here, I'll go and inquire what kind of monster captured Master." ”
Bajie asked, "Where did Senior Brother go to inquire?" ”
Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: Yes, where can I inquire?
But soon he reacted: "Since they know our whereabouts so well, it must not be too far away." Hello is guarding the horses, and when I find out the news, I will come back and take you to save the master. ”
After Xue Tianqing finished speaking, he was about to rise in the clouds, but at this moment, a voice sounded: "Walker and slow." ”
When the two of them heard the sound, they saw a puff of smoke rising from outside Zhangyu, and a short old man appeared.
Before Xue Tianqing could speak, Bajie had already raised the nail rake: "You monster, come to harm me again!" ”
Xue Tianqing grabbed the nail rake: "What the hell is going on?" ”
Bajie said angrily: "Senior brother, when I was in Wuzhuangguan, it was his accomplices who planted me. The same five short figures, the same obscene face. ”
Xue Tianqing pushed Bajie aside: "Don't talk nonsense, people are orthodox immortals, aren't they?" The god of the land. ”
It was none other than the land here.
The land walked up to the two and sneered: "In front of the walkers, the little ones dare not call themselves gods. ”
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I don't know if the land god is here at this time, what advice do you have?" ”
"I don't dare to give advice, but I just saw two walkers who want to find Sanzang, and I came to inform the news."
Xue Tianqing heard this: "In this case, I thank God first, I don't know where the monster is?" ”
"From here, there is a Yellow Wind Ridge thirty miles to the north, and there is a Yellow Wind Cave on the ridge, and there are a group of monsters in the cave, who have been entrenched here for decades, and they are the ones who have just taken the Sanzang Master captive."
After listening to what the land said, Xue Tianqing was immediately stunned: Wuzhuang Temple, Liusha River, plus Huangfengling, did he go the other way?
After a long time, he pointed in the direction of the sunset and asked, "Is that the West?" ”
The land laughed: "The walker is joking, the land of the sunset is, of course, the West." ”
Xue Tianqing became more and more puzzled: how did the itinerary reverse what was recorded in the novel?
Seeing that the snow was clear, the land called twice and continued: "Walker, the name of the cave master of the Yellow Wind Cave is the Yellow Wind King, since he occupied the Yellow Wind Ridge thirty years ago, he has almost eaten the surrounding people clean. ”
Xue Tianqing touched her chin: "King Yellow Wind? Does he know the three flavors of the divine wind, as soon as this wind comes out, the heavens and the earth change color, and the ghosts and gods are shocked? ”
The land looked at Xue Tianqing suspiciously: "The Yellow Wind King is a weasel essence, and he has some means, but I have never heard of him knowing what three-flavored divine wind he has." ”
"I don't know the three flavors of the divine wind, so what magic weapon is there?"
The land shook his head: "Except for the supernatural powers, this monster has nothing special. However, his little means are not worth mentioning in front of the walkers, and you let the heavenly soldiers and generals flee in the first place. ”
Xue Tianqing's eyes rolled: "Since you know that the monsters are making trouble here, why don't you go to eradicate them, or report to the heavenly court and send heavenly soldiers to strangle them?" ”
