Chapter Eighty-Three: The Remains of the Great War of the Ancients

The steel knife slashed at him, Sanzang's eyes closed, and he secretly said in his heart: It's not a pity for me to die, what face is there under Jiuquan to see King Tang!

Who thought about it for a long time, Sanzang did not feel any discomfort. When I opened my eyes again, I found that the steel knife was shaking no more than half a foot from my neck.

Looking up again, I saw that although the old man was holding the steel knife tightly, he was trembling all over, and he didn't dare to go down another half an inch.

After a long time, the old man turned his head and said, "Heavenly King, madam, the little one has never killed anyone, and he is a little afraid." ”

Without waiting for the White Bone Heavenly King to speak, the old woman on the side had already snatched the steel knife and scolded at the same time: "Useless thing! ”

After speaking, he raised his knife and stabbed it in Sanzang's chest.

Seeing that the tip of the knife was about to pierce Sanzang's chest, he suddenly saw a golden light on his body, and then only heard a "click", followed by the old woman's scream.

When the old woman slowly fell to the ground, the demons realized that the steel knife in her hand had been broken, and the broken piece was pierced into her chest.

Seeing this, the White Bone Heavenly King stood up, walked in front of Sanzang in a few steps, his hands were like a wind on him, and finally said with some frustration: "Madam, Tang Sanzang has a ban on him, I think it must be Sun Wukong's doing." ”

Lady Bones heard this, "So, what should I do? ”

The White Bone Heavenly King rolled his eyes, and then sneered: "Come on, hang Tang Sanzang at the highest place of the cave door, and see if Sun Wukong can save it!" ”

Then he said to Mrs. White Bone: "As long as you catch Sun Wukong, kill him, and the ban will be broken." ”

Lady Bones snorted when she heard this, then ignored what was in front of her and walked towards the cave with a grunt.

Seeing this situation, Xue Tianqing breathed a sigh of relief: it is better to be hung for two days than to lose her life, I should really thank Guanyin Bodhisattva, if it weren't for her robe, the master might not be able to save his life.

However, after this incident, Xue Tianqing finally understood: real monsters will not be stupid enough to grab Tang Seng and throw it aside, they really want to eat Tang Seng meat!

Mrs. White Bone is still going to be done, if you encounter those who are not exquisite, you will gnaw it directly, and the consequences are unimaginable! It seems that the difficulty of the westward journey is far more difficult than I originally imagined.

Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing couldn't help but scratch her chin: Are there too few of herself and Bajie?

After a moment of contemplation, he couldn't help but look up into the distance.

Although he was hung at the entrance of the cave, Sanzang was very hard and did not say a word from beginning to end.

Xue Tianqing nodded when she saw this, and then prepared to get out of the cave and find another way to see how to deal with the cold ice resentment.

But before he could take a step, he suddenly saw two ghosts coming from outside the cave, and when they reached the old woman's corpse, they reached out and grabbed her soul.

Although the old woman's soul kept struggling, the monster in the cave turned a blind eye and let the ghost take her away.

Arriving at a secluded place, one of the demons opens the passage to the underworld and prepares to turn back.

But before he could take a step, he suddenly felt his shoulders sink, and then Xue Tianqing's smiling face appeared on his side.

"The two eldest brothers have worked hard all the way, do you want to take a break and then go back to your life?"

Seeing that it was snowy and sunny, the ghost hurriedly arched his hand and said: "It turned out to be a nobleman, I don't know what the nobleman commanded?" ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned: "Noble? Whose noble man am I? ”

"The noble man laughed, you have a good friendship with Lord Hei, of course you are our nobleman."

Only then did Xue Tianqing react: "The two eldest brothers laughed, that's the adults giving me face." But why are you two here on an errand today, my lord? ”

The ghost smiled: "The creatures of the Three Realms don't know how many people die every day, if all the adults go out, it is estimated that his old man will not be able to be busy with death." If you want two adults to come out, you must be a big man with an earth-shattering identity. ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned, but there was no abnormality on his face: "I see, the two eldest brothers will rest for a while, and I will ask the old woman a few words." ”

The ghost nodded: "Your Excellency, please." ”

Xue Tianqing came to the old woman's soul and just wanted to speak, but heard the ghost say, "Wait." ”

I saw that the ghost was almost stamped with one hand, and then a green light appeared from his fingertips.

As he lit the green light into the old woman's forehead, a pig-killing sound reached Xue Tianqing's ears.

The ghost said sharply: "Shut up, dare to speak again, I will make you mute forever!" ”

Seeing that the old woman was no longer silent, the ghost cha said: "The noble man doesn't know that when a person has just passed away, he is the most unwilling, so he will seal his mouth before taking his soul away from his body, so that his ears can be purified. ”

Xue Tianqing touched her chin, recalling the scene of her first meeting with black and white impermanence, and almost laughed out loud.

Suddenly, his heart moved: "Two, what is the official position of black and white impermanence in the underworld?" ”

The ghost cha was surprised: "The noble man doesn't know? They are the generalissimos of the underworld, and their position is only below the king of Yan. ”

Although Xue Tianqing didn't say anything more, his heart turned upside down: the two generalissimos came to seduce their souls, saying that there was no other reason for ghosts to believe it!

Xue Tianqing sniffed her heart and said to the old woman's soul: "Tell me, what's going on?" ”

When the old woman heard this, she knelt down in front of Xue Tianqing: "The immortal spares his life, and the immortal spares his life." ”

Xue Tianqing said impatiently: "What kind of life, you are now a soul, don't you know it?" ”

The old woman immediately woke up: "Immortal, this is all forced by the White Bone Heavenly King and his wife and the old man of my family who suffered a thousand knives to do this, and it is none of my business." ”

"The underworld has its own public opinion on right and wrong during his lifetime, first of all, you will tell us how to calculate us and how many lives have been harmed."

The old woman nodded hurriedly, and then told all about the past.

The old woman and the old man are now nearly two hundred years old, and the reason why they have lived for so long is because of the help of the White Bone King.

Originally, the two of them were just ordinary people, living in the small courtyard where Xue Tianqing once been.

When they were young, they also had children, but unfortunately they were unfortunate every year, and they all died before them.

The joy of family did not come as scheduled, but the white-haired people sent the black-haired people several times in a row, which turned the mentality of the two people upside down, and even had the intention of dying.

Who would have thought that one night, a gust of yin wind blew, and the White Bone Heavenly King then fell from the sky.

Although they knew that the other party was a monster, the old couple was not afraid, but had some expectations: as long as they could give a good time, it would be good to die at the hands of monsters.

What the two didn't expect was that instead of taking their lives, the White Bone Heavenly King wanted to give them the art of immortality.

Although the two of them don't have much knowledge, they are not stupid, and they know that there must be conditions for the White Bone Heavenly King's move.

Sure enough, the White Bone Heavenly King took out a special long incense stick and told them to keep an eye out for passing monks.

If a monk passes by, he will let him stay overnight at home and light a long incense stick.

In the end, the White Bone Heavenly King left two pills and floated away, returning to the White Bone Peak to wait for news.

After that, the couple began to keep an eye out for pedestrians on the main road, and whenever a monk passed by, they tried to get them to stay at their home and light incense and candles.

For more than a hundred years, how many monks were captured in the White Bone Peak, the husband and wife never counted, only knew that it was the monk who was captured, and never left.

However, apart from the monks, the White Bone Heavenly King had no interest in anything else, so the common people were not affected.

Over the years, the White Bone Cave has not only sent firewood, rice, oil and salt from time to time, but the White Bone King has even given the two of them a pill every year.

Since taking the pill, not only have the two stopped getting older, but their health has also begun to get better and better.

Although he looks like an old body, his body is flexible, and even a young man is far inferior. If it weren't for that, they wouldn't have been able to take down Sanzang easily.

Not long ago, the Lady of the White Bones, who had never been seen, was here in person.

She told the two that as long as they caught Tang Sanzang from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, not only did they not have to continue to wait here, but they could also go back to the White Bone Peak with them to practice spells and become a pair of immortal couples.

Because the pills the two of them are taking now can only keep them immortal, but Tang monk meat can make them immortal.

Hearing this, the two of them were even more enthusiastic! Not to mention monks, even bald people, those with thin hair will try their best to introduce them into their homes and light long incense.

In this way, in just half a year, no less than 100 monks were arrested and taken to the White Bone Cave.

This morning, they were also waiting on the side of the road.

Unexpectedly, it didn't take long for the sky to change abruptly, and then the snow fell, and the two had no choice but to turn around.

Who would have thought that as soon as the couple left, Sanzang and his party arrived.

If the three masters and apprentices had kept moving forward despite the wind and snow at that time, there would have been no such disaster.

I don't know if it's providence, Sanzang not only got off the horse to avoid the wind and snow, but Xue Tianqing also inadvertently found the small courtyard of the two, so there was something later.

When the group came to the gate of the small courtyard, they saw that there were monks and Taoists among them, and Bajie was still carrying weapons. So the two were a little unsure of their identities and didn't immediately light the incense.

When he didn't want to talk, Sanzang took the initiative to talk about his origin, which made the old man overjoyed.

He wanted to light the incense immediately, but because Xue Tianqing and Bajie were on the side, he never got free.

Just as the old man was looking for an excuse to leave, Sanzang asked why the house was so shabby.

And the snow and sunny weather easily made the small courtyard look new, and the old man was even more frightened, understanding that these people were not comparable to the original monks.

However, in the end, the old man was still in a hurry, and opened the snow on the grounds that his son and daughter-in-law were missing, so that he had the kung fu to ignite Changxiang.

Then the White Bone Heavenly King and his wife came together and captured Sanzang and Bajie into the White Bone Cave.

After hearing what happened, Xue Tianqing frowned and said, "Do you know the origin of that monster?" ”

The old woman shook her head and said, "Although the villains have lived for two hundred years, they have no Taoism, and I don't know what they are." ”

Xue Tianqing pondered for a moment, and then turned to the ghost: "Two big brothers, do you know where the White Bone Peak is, and why there are many white bones on the peak, most of which I can't even name." ”

The ghost who had just spoken to Xue Tianqing sighed: "It's not surprising that the noble man is late. White Bone Peak was originally the last building tree in heaven and earth, and it was also the last battlefield of the Lich War, and those white bones were all heroic spirits who died in battle. ”

Xue Tianqing was stunned when she heard this: "Jianmu? Is there really a building wood in the world? ”

After returning from Dongsheng Shenzhou, Bajie once mentioned the matter of building wood to Xue Tianqing.

But because there was a reason for the incident at that time, Xue Tianqing thought it was a lie about ginseng fruit essence, so she didn't take it to heart.

Now that I heard this name again from the mouth of the ghost, I realized that there was really a building wood in the world.
