"Sun Dasheng, don't hit the boat and spend other people's property, I'll send your masters and apprentices over."

The voice of the old turtle came from a distance, like the thunder of an urn bell, which made people's eardrums itch.

The mortals by the river were so frightened that they fled home, and the bold ones hid far away to watch the movement.

Soon, the water surface rolled, and the old turtle appeared in everyone's field of vision, with a pink head, green eyes and sharp teeth, and a humanized flattering smile on a turtle face.

The monkey picked up the golden hoop stick and scolded sharply: "Evil animal, stop for my grandson!" If you dare to step forward again, I will beat you to death with a stick! ”

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also looked vigilant, picked up their respective weapons, and protected Tang Seng in front of him.

No wonder they are so vigilant, just before Guanyin cast a spell to overtake the water tribe in the Tongtian River, this blink of an eye, such an old turtle appeared, it is really weird!

The old turtle said: "I am grateful for the grace of the great sage, and I am willing to send you master and apprentice with a good heart, why do you want to beat me?" ”

The monkey said, "What favor do I have with you?" ”

The old turtle said: "Great sage, you don't know that the first of the water turtles at the bottom is my residence, and my ancestors have left it to me since the ages. The king of inspiration came here nine years ago when the tsunami wave overturned, and with his mana, he injured many of my children, took away many of my scroll clans, and occupied my cave mansion. ”

"Today, the Great Sage invited the Heavenly God of Heaven and Guanyin Bodhisattva, took away the demon, and returned the cave to me. This kindness is as heavy as a hill and as deep as the sea, how dare I not repay it? ”

The divine light in the monkey's eyes flowed, but when he saw that the clear air on the old turtle's body was surging with Buddha light, not like a demon, his vigilance dropped slightly, and he said, "What you said is true?" ”

The old turtle opened his red mouth and swore to the sky: "If I don't sincerely send Tang Seng across this Tongtian River, I will turn into blood and water, and I will die without a place to be buried!" ”

This oath to heaven is not an oath to the heavenly court, but an oath to the way of heaven!

The higher the cultivation, the greater the restraint, and once broken, the oath will be fulfilled immediately.

Although the old turtle in front of him has not turned into a human form, it is not because of insufficient cultivation, but because he has deep heels, but he is a different species from heaven and earth, and it is difficult to transform into a shape.

It dares to make this oath, and it should be telling the truth!

The monkey put away the golden rod and said, "Come up." ”

Only then did the old turtle swim to the shore, jumped up, jumped onto the river cliff, and the back of a turtle was as round as a white cover, revealing a slight light.

The old turtle saluted Tang Seng and said, "Master, come up to me, and I will take you through." ”

Tang Seng hesitated a little, worried: "This tortoise shell is smooth, I am afraid it will be difficult to settle, if it reaches the middle of the river and falls into the water, what should I do?" ”

Lao Yuan said: "Master, don't worry, my tortoise shell only looks smooth, but in fact it is no different from the ground, it is very stable, and this kind of thing will never happen." ”

Zhu Bajie also persuaded: "Master, don't worry!" This old turtle has been in the Tongtian River for so many years, how could he make such a mistake? If you don't feel at ease, I'll give you a try first! ”

Saying that, Zhu Bajie led the White Dragon King to the back of the turtle, and it was really steady, just like on the ground.

Seeing this, Tang Seng no longer hesitated, and walked towards the old turtle.

Just as he was about to step on the turtle's back, a voice suddenly came from the side.

"Wait!"

Tang Seng looked back, it was a monkey, and wondered: "Wukong, what's wrong?" ”

The monkey frowned, but didn't know what to say.

Just now, a trace of uneasiness suddenly rose in his heart, and he subconsciously opened his mouth to stop Tang Seng.

But if he really asked him to say that there was something wrong, he couldn't say it.

The monkey did not speak, and the scene froze for a moment.

Sha Seng stepped forward and said, "Senior brother, since this old turtle dares to swear, there is no problem in thinking about it. It may have been sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to give us a drink. ”

"Hmm." The monkey nodded.

What Sha Seng said was also the most reasonable possibility he thought of.

However, the uneasiness in his heart could not be eliminated.

Turning his head to look at the sides, he found that the original mortal boatmen were all scared away by the old turtle, and he couldn't go without the old turtle at this time!

This old turtle is coming in a strange way, I need to pay more attention!

The monkey untied the tiger tendons, put them in the nose of the old turtle, pulled them up like a rein, stepped on the cover with one foot, put one foot on the head, held the iron rod in one hand, and pulled the reins with the other, and shouted: "Old turtle, go slowly, crooked, just take your head!" ”

"Don't dare! Can't! The old turtle shook his head again and again, did not struggle or resist, and let the monkey do it.

After that, there was no small action, and the four Tang monks and apprentices were sent to the other side with their horses and luggage.

Only after going ashore, when Tang Seng thanked him, he asked Tang Seng to help him ask the Buddha when he would be able to transform into a human form.

"Is it really my grandson's heart?"

The monkey looked at the back of the old turtle disappearing into the river, and was always a little uneasy, but he could not find the source.

In the end, he could only give up for the time being and go to the west with Tang Seng and the three of them.

But he didn't know that when the old turtle saw them off and returned to the cave, a strange and demonic purple light suddenly lit up on his body.

A black lotus platform emanated from its body, suspended in mid-air.

"Buddha." The old turtle knocked on the ground with his head and said respectfully: "The disciple has followed the instructions of the Buddha and concluded the cause and effect with the Tang monk." ”

"Good." A voice came from the black lotus platform.

The old turtle hesitated for a moment, and couldn't help but ask, "Buddha, when will the disciple be able to transform into a human form?" ”

Black Lotus said: "You can wait in this Tongtian River with peace of mind." When the Tang monk and apprentice return from Lingshan and end the cause and effect with you, it is the day when you transform into a human form and cultivate to the right fruit. ”

The old turtle was overjoyed and kept kowtowing: "Thank you Buddha!" Thank you, Buddha! ”

Hei Lian didn't speak again, and the light gradually dimmed, merging into the old turtle's body.

On the other side, Guanyin also asked from the Jade Emperor to bring the King of Inspiration back to Luojia Mountain for severe punishment, and lifted the King of Inspiration out of the prison.

Without saying anything all the way, I returned to the purple bamboo forest of Luojia Mountain, took the inspiration king out of the bamboo basket, and put it in the lotus pond.

Guanyin then opened his mouth and asked what Li Anran did after taking him away.

The Inspiration King said: "After the Heavenly God of the Prison brought the disciple back to the prison, he locked the disciple in the cell. Other than that, nothing has been done. ”

Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief and warned: "The things of the mortal world are in the past, and you will not mention them to anyone again in the future." If you say half a word, I will know it, and I will peel you and file your bones, and teach you to never recover! ”

The Great King of Inspiration assured with trepidation: "The disciple will never dare to divulge half a word. ”

Guanyin waved his hand, waved away the King of Inspiration, and sat cross-legged on the lotus platform, his brows furrowed, full of thoughts.

Whether Li Anran was really enforcing the law impartially, or in order to curry favor with Taiyi Tianzun, he deliberately troubled her and lost her face, and took the King of Inspiration in the prison.

As long as she didn't find out that the King of Inspiration used the soul of a boy and a girl to make alchemy, it would not be a big deal for her!

What really made her sleepless was that-

"Who led Xuanzang's master and apprentice to Chenjiazhuang?"

The person who is directly responsible for Lingshan's study of scriptures in the West is Guanyin!

She knows best that the route of learning scriptures from the west should not pass through Chenjiazhuang!

But now, not only has it passed, but the time point is also stuck on the eve of the festival, which is obviously someone secretly calculating!

This person must have already known about the fact that the King of Inspiration used the souls of boys and girls to make alchemy with their blood relatives, and even had conclusive evidence.

This time, he was merciful and did not directly expose the matter, but only led Tang Seng and his apprentices to Chenjiazhuang, which was regarded as a warning to her!

But next time, or when the other party has something to ask her to do, it may not be!

This sword hangs above her head, and the threat to her is too great!

"How can this be?" Guanyin clenched the bamboo basket in his hand, and his heart was really uneasy.

After she learned that the monkeys appeared in Chenjiazhuang, she immediately went to the purple bamboo forest to weave this bamboo basket, just to sift through all the creatures in the Tongtian River and find out the person who secretly calculated her.

At least find some clues.

But as a result, nothing was found!

After casting a spell to surpass all the water tribes in the Tongtian River, he was worried about the rumors, and he didn't mean to vent the anger in his heart!

Guanyin also has a few suspicions in her heart, but there is no tangible evidence for this kind of thing, how dare she ask the other party for verification!

can only bury this in my heart in advance and wait for the other party to come to the door.

Guanyin thought of the monkey again.

According to Lingshan's original plan, the monkey has the courage to be lucky, and his strength is not weak, so let him be the protector of Tang Seng should be able to deal with the calculations of the Xuanmen, and turn the danger into disaster!

In addition to the calculations of the Xuanmen, the other calamities on the West Heaven Road are the benefits of Lingshan to those gods and Buddhas who know the inside story of the Western Heaven and promise to join forces to deal with the catastrophe!

They sent their disciples to mount them down to the earth, and then they went down to the earth to subdue them, which can be regarded as a catastrophe, and they can also obtain the humane merit of spreading the Dharma to the east.

In this way, they always want to think about the good of the West and give Lingshan a few thin noodles.

Even if there is an accident and the doorman's mount dies, it is just a dead doorman's mount, and it won't hurt yourself in the slightest!

Unexpectedly, this monkey recognized Li Anran, and as soon as something happened, he went to the prison to find Li Anran!

First the red child, then the Che Chi country, and then this Tongtian River!

But the reason that the monkey found is very legitimate, and Guanyin is not good at stopping him on the bright side!

This caused her a lot of trouble!

This time through the Heavenly River, if it weren't for the monkey suddenly going up to the sky to invite Li Anran to descend the demon, she wouldn't have to be in such a hurry!

"That monkey has always been unruly and unruly, but now he has repeatedly gone to heaven to ask the god of heaven for help in the name of violating the rules of heaven and evil, what is he thinking? Is it because you want to take refuge in the Xuanmen? ”

"And the god of prison, does he know about the Western Heaven to learn scriptures and the Buddhist Taoist gambling fight?"

Guanyin frowned slightly.

If Li Anran knew about the Buddhist gambling and fighting, and deliberately befriended the monkey, then she would have to pay more attention!

The four protectors of the Dharma are learned from the West Heaven, and the monkey is the core of the core!

If Li Anran pried the monkey away in front of the gods and Buddhas of the Three Realms, her fake goods would not be able to replace the monkey, and it would be difficult to learn the scriptures after that!

"The things of this world can be one or two, not again and again! I'll give the monkey two more chances! ”

Guanyin quickly made a decision.

Then, she reined in her mind and crossed her knees to cultivate.

She captured the Inspiration King back to Luojia Mountain on this trip, and it can be regarded as a trip in the calamity, and the efficiency of cultivation at this time is a hundred times and a thousand times that of the past, but it cannot be wasted.

At the same time, Li Anran was also cultivating in the prison.

Guanyin took the Jade Emperor's holy decree to mention people, and he could only hand over the King of Inspiration, but fortunately, he was fast enough to read the life of the King of Inspiration.

After thinking about the matter of the old turtle, he decided to stay away.

This old turtle first calculated Guanyin and led the four Tang monks and apprentices to the Tongtian River.

Later, after Tang Seng and his apprentices returned from learning the scriptures, on the grounds that Tang Seng did not help it ask Rulai when he would be able to cultivate his human body, the four Tang monks and apprentices were overturned in the Tongtian River.

After that, there was an incident of demons snatching the scriptures.

This guts can be said to be groundbreaking!

Although according to the records in Journey to the West, the monkey relied on his own cultivation to protect the scriptures.

But at that time, the monkey had already achieved positive results, and his cultivation was at least a Da Luo Jin Immortal!

Li Anran was just entering the realm of Taiyi Golden Immortal at this time, but he didn't want to cause this trouble.

For the next half month, Li Anran cultivated in peace in the prison.

During this period, Nezha completed the official task of subduing demons, returned from the mortal world, and went to the prison to find him as soon as possible.

Not for anything else, just to show off his identity as a senior brother!

"Senior Brother Li Anran, Senior Brother Li Anran" kept shouting, making Li Anran roll his eyes.

Only a little kid like Nezha who doesn't grow up likes to take advantage of others in terms of seniority!

Even though this little kid is more than 10,000 years old!

However, the heart is still naïve and immature!

These words naturally made Nezha angry, took out the fire spear and fought with Li Anran, and fought hard again, and then-

Succeeded in reaping two failures!

In the process, Li Anran was surprised to find that Nezha seemed to see Li Jing and let go.

In the past, as long as Nezha drank too much wine and mentioned Li Jing, he would grit his teeth and want to rush over and kill Li Jing immediately.

This time, after he drank too much, he talked to Li Anran about the rules and regulations.

Li Anran: "??? ”

Is it fashionable to say that there are rules and regulations now?

Why did Yang Jian to the monkey and then Nezha start to say that this is the rule of heaven?

Li Anran looked confused.

He didn't know that Yang Jian and Nezha had a showdown, and after Nezha knew Yang Jian's ambition to revise the Tiantiao Tiangui and implement it, he couldn't help but pay attention to the Tiantiao Tiangui, which would have the scene of today's drunken Tiantiao.

As for Li Jing, Nezha had already figured out how to deal with him, and now he was just waiting for the time to come.

Nezha pulled Li Anran drunk and talked for a long time before staggering back to the Yunlou Palace.

Not long after Nezha left, another Taoist boy from Tushi Palace came to the prison.

"Si Prison Heavenly God, Taishang Dao Ancestor asks you to go to Tushi Palace."

"Okay."

Li Anran was not surprised.

The fake Tongtian is still in his hands, and Taishang Laojun wants to complete the layout of the Eight Immortals in the upper cave, so it's strange not to come to him!
