Chapter 81: The Trap
Let the mountain gods and lands return to their places, Xue Tianqing returned to the room and explained the reason to Sanzang and others and prepared to leave.
I don't want Sanzang to frown when he hears this: A demon is a demon, how can a person seek skin with him.
Xue Tianqing smiled softly, and then pointed to the eight commandments: "Master, should you send him to the underworld?" β
Seeing that Sanzang was puzzled, Bajie rolled his eyes helplessly: "Master, I am the grass and tree elf." β
"If Master thinks that Bajie is a demon, he will be killed directly!" After Xue Tianqing finished speaking, his figure disappeared in a flash.
Seeing this, the old man was surprised and said, "Two elders, where did Elder Sun go?" β
Bajie said with a smile: "I said that my senior brother is the ancestor of the immortals, and now I am afraid that he is thousands of miles away." β
The old man was very excited when he heard this, and kept talking about the hope of his son and daughter-in-law's return, and then urged his wife to take out all the treasures in the family and entertain the three Tibetan masters and apprentices.
When the old man was full of joy, Xue Tianqing had already come to the nameless peak that the mountain god had spoken.
Looking at the green eyes, Xue Tianqing was surprised: Doesn't this place belong to the world?
Although there is still a lot of snow in the sky, this mountain seems to be independent of the world.
Before the snowflakes fell, they turned into a trace of water vapor, so that the whole mountain peak was steaming like a fairyland.
Just when the snow was clear, a voice sounded out of thin air: "Elder hard work, please go into the barren mountain to talk about it." β
As he spoke, a man in white appeared out of thin air and stood not far away quietly watching the snow and the sky.
Xue Tianqing arched his hand and said, "May I ask the master's name?" β
The man smiled and said: "I have been trapped in the barren mountain for a long time, I have no name and surname, because of the love of my friends and neighbors, I will give the name Danyangzi, and the elder please." β
Following the man to the cave located on the mountainside, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but nod as he looked at the extremely delicate furnishings.
Danyangzi invited Xue Tianqing to take a seat, and then offered tea.
Xue Tianqing didn't beat around the bush, and asked Danyangzi if he could get acquainted with the nearby spirits.
Danyangzi pointed to the southwest and said: "From here to more than 300 miles, there is a Yellow Dragon Cave, and there is a Yellow Dragon Daoist in the cave. She was busy refining pills and mixing dragons and tigers on weekdays, and she never hurt anyone's life. β
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I don't know how the relationship between the Immortal Chief and the Huanglong Dao people is?" β
Danyangzi smiled and said: "It's just because they are all Dao sects, so I often learn from the experience of refining pills." β
Xue Tianqing nodded: "The Taoist is like this, it's really enviable." β
Danyangzi bowed his head and said: "The elder has a good appearance, and the Buddha's light is added, so he must be a master." Huanglong Zhenren did not do evil, and for the sake of her cultivation was not easy, she also asked the elders to be merciful. β
Xue Tianqing smiled again: "If Huanglong Zhenren is as the immortal chief said, I will definitely not make a big move." It's just that I'm a person from the Daomen, why does the immortal chief say that I am a Buddha with light? β
Danyangzi said: "Everyone doesn't see it, I see it alone." Even if the elder is not a member of the Buddhist sect, he must be associated with the monks, otherwise there will be no such Buddha light. β
Xue Tianqing nodded: "Immortal Chang has such a Buddha fate, why do you still have to stay in the barren mountain?" β
Danyangzi sighed lightly: "Although I have a Buddha fate, there is no true Buddha in the world, how many Shamen disciples call Amitabha Buddha, but they only have fame and fortune in their hearts, so don't want Buddha fate." β
Xue Tianqing laughed: "Why does Mr. think he is a Buddha? β
"Helping the world, transforming sentient beings, taking the world as the foundation, taking the people as the root, regardless of personal gains and losses, not seeking fame and fame, if there is trouble in the world, you can give up your life to practice."
Xue Tianqing nodded first, and then shook her head: "What the immortal chief thinks is too naΓ―ve, all living beings in the world are greedy, how can anyone take Mr.'s words to the extreme?" If you can achieve five points, it is a blessing in the world. β
Danyangzi looked at Xue Tianqing quietly: "In that case, why does the elder still want to go west to Lingshan?" β
Xue Tianqing stared at Danyangzi for a long time, and finally said four words: "I want to find the true Buddha." β
Hearing this, Danyangzi got up: "Thank you for the elder's advice, if there is a place to send in the future, the elder will just speak." β
Seeing that Xue Tianqing said goodbye, Danyangzi said again: "If you see Huanglong Zhenren, please be merciful to the elders." The Yellow Dragon Cave is different from other spirit caves, if you get there, I believe the elders will not be able to make up their minds. β
Although he was a little puzzled by Danyangzi's words, Xue Tianqing still nodded: "If I haven't hurt anyone, as long as I can reform myself, I will never hurt his life." β
After speaking, he drove the clouds, braved the wind and snow, and went straight to the Yellow Dragon Cave.
Walking out of less than 100 miles, the snow has been cleared out of the wind and snow blockage.
There is no wind and snow fetters, the snow is sunny and the spirit is shocked, urging the auspicious clouds under the feet, and it will not be long before coming to the Yellow Dragon Cave.
As soon as he stopped, he heard a burst of laughter from below.
Looking at it closely, I can't help but sigh again: what an idyllic scene!
I saw yellow rape flowers, green wheat fields and countless unknown crops swaying in the wind.
There are men and women in the farmland, talking and laughing while working.
A little farther away, there are dozens of courtyards, all of which are red bricks and yellow tiles, and there are patches of flowers and plants in the courtyard.
Xue Tianqing scratched his head: No wonder Danyangzi said that the Yellow Dragon Cave is chic, if it weren't for the black cave in the distance, who would have thought that this was the Monster Cave Mansion.
Then he quietly pressed the head of the cloud and walked along the field path towards the two busy women.
"Female Bodhisattva, what is this?"
Seeing this, a woman hurriedly returned the salute: "It turned out to be an immortal chief, this place is the Huanglong Cave, and we are all the people under the rule of the Huanglong Zhenren." β
Xue Tianqing asked, "Who is Huanglong Zhenren?" β
Another woman let out a hearty laugh: "Huanglong Zhenren, just listen to the name, of course it is an immortal." β
Xue Tianqing wanted to ask more, but he heard someone not far away: "This fellow Daoist, what are you doing here?" β
Looking for prestige, I saw a woman with fairy wind bones standing there not far away.
Xue Tianqing opened her mouth in surprise when she saw this: Huanglong is really a woman?
It took him a long time before he came back to his senses: "It's polite to be here." β
Huang Long Zhenren was stunned when he heard this: "This Taoist friend is not from the Daomen?" β
Xue Tianqing was a little embarrassed: "It used to be, but later I was driven down the mountain by the master, and I went west to Lingshan to protect the Buddha." β
Huanglong Zhenren suddenly realized: "You are the Monkey King!" β
Seeing Xue Tianqing nodded, Huang Long Zhenren smiled and said, "Fellow Daoists, please, even if you have left the master's sect, you are also a model for us to practice freely." β
After saying that, he took two steps forward, grabbed Xue Tianqing's hand and walked inside, and introduced Xue Tianqing to the men and women in the field as he walked.
Looking at the tall gate tower in front of him, Xue Tianqing stopped: "This is the residence of Daoyou?" β
Huang Long Zhenren nodded: "Exactly!" β
Xue Tianqing pointed to the cave not far away: "Where is it?" β
"That is the residence of the poor Dao before he attained the Dao, and it is not a secret, the Poor Dao is the body of Huanglong who cultivated and lived there before he became enlightened."
The Yellow Dragon that Huang Long said was actually a big snake, and Xue Tianqing had already seen her true appearance just now.
It's just that there is one thing that makes Xue Tianqing puzzled: how did the monster get a group of people to live an idyllic life?
With questions, Xue Tianqing followed Huang Long Zhenren to the living room.
As soon as I sat down, I saw more than a dozen men and women pouring in outside, holding various melons and fruits in their hands.
After everyone put the melons and fruits on the table and withdrew, Huang Long Zhenzhen said: "Poor and remote land, there is no hospitality, only these superficial things, don't be surprised by Taoist friends." β
Xue Tianqing smiled a little unnaturally: "Fellow Daoist, why is this like this?" β
This sentence asked Huanglong Zhenren inexplicably: "What do you mean?" β
"I mean, Daoyou is born as a spirit, why do you live such a comfortable life here?"
Huang Long Zhenren giggled when he heard this: "Spirits are bound to eat people to survive?" After I have cultivated into a human body, I am no different from others, so do I want to eat like others? Furthermore, isn't it just for the sake of being at ease and carefree when we practice for the rest of our lives? β
Huanglong's words made Xue Tianqing stunned: Yes, what is the purpose of cultivation, isn't it just to be carefree in the world?
Seeing that the snow was clear, Huanglong Zhenren sighed: "Although we are spirits, we also want to cultivate to achieve positive results and hope for immortality." How could it be that thousands of years of cultivation would be ruined because of appetite? β
Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment: "But many spirits in the world still enjoy eating people." β
Huanglong Daoist stretched out two fingers: "There are two reasons, one is that those spirits have their own roots, and the other is that they don't want to forge ahead." Those who don't want to forge ahead will be tolerated by heaven and earth sooner or later, but those who have a foundation are still self-realizing. β
How could Xue Tianqing not understand what Huanglong Zhenren meant, he nodded and said: "Daoyou is reasonable, since this is the case, why don't you learn Danyangzi?" β
"Could it be that seeing the people in dire straits, but being indifferent, is the best way to practice?"
Xue Tianqing was stunned again: "Although it is not advisable to be alone, it is better than robbing the people, right?" β
This time it was Huanglong's turn to be stunned: "What do you mean by this?" β
Xue Tianqing pointed out the door: "Those people outside, didn't you loot from everywhere?" But don't forget, they also have parents and children in their families who want to wear them. β
"Where did you hear that I plundered the people? They are all willing to live here, just for the peace of life. Some of these people I rescued from the spirits and brought them here. β
Xue Tianqing got up suddenly when she heard this: "Then do you know how many spirits there are around here?" β
"Except for me and Danyangzi, there is no one else nearby, and there are a few spirits who are not shallow in the distance."
"What spirits?"
Huanglong Daoist said: "More than 1,500 miles to the north, there is a White Bone Peak, where a couple often mutilate the people. It's just that their mana is profound, and we are not opponents, so we can only let it go. β
Xue Tianqing asked, "What kind of demon is that couple?" β
"The man calls himself the King of White Bones, and the woman is called Lady of White Bones, which is the Tao of two ancient remains."
Xue Tianqing sighed when she heard this: "It turns out that not only are there really white bone spirits, but also two." β
Huanglong Zhenren was puzzled: "What do you mean by this, do you know their husband and wife?" β
Xue Tianqing shook her head: "I don't know, but can you tell us more about their origins?" β
Huanglong Zhenren shook his head: "I don't know why they got the Tao." I only know that because the location of the White Bone Cave is too desolate, they often transform into ordinary people, catch passers-by on the side of the road, and bring them back to the cave to enjoy. β
As soon as Huang Long's real voice fell, he saw Xue Tianqing's figure disappear in a flash, and then appeared outside the small courtyard.
Seeing that people had already gone to the empty courtyard, Xue Tianqing stood for a long time, he never thought that he would fall into someone else's trap.
