Chapter 3 Xizhou Bamboo Mountain

The voice disappeared suddenly, and Lao Lei felt that his head sank, and the words just now had been deeply imprinted in his mind.

"If you want to cultivate, go to Xiniu Hezhou and come to the Jiuqu Panhuan Cave of Zhujie Mountain to find me!"

Lao Lei was suddenly shocked, he didn't expect that he could encounter such a big opportunity when he was lying in the sun outside casually, did he be regarded as the protagonist's halo?

Immediately, Lao Lei began to ponder, Xiniu Hezhou, Zhujie Mountain, Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, the former is aware of the Tao, but the latter one, although he has a little impression, he can't remember it clearly. There's no way, I'm really not very familiar with the plot of "Journey to the West", and I watched "Journey to the West" many years ago.

But now that he has got the opportunity, Lao Lei naturally can't give up easily.

"Hei Er!" Lao Lei immediately returned to the black water hole in the black water pool and found Hei Er.

"Huh, what are you looking for me?" asked Hei Er, a stunned guy.

Lao Lei said in a deep voice: "Didn't the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave go out to look for immortals?"

"That's right! Anyway, did the Monkey King eat the wrong peach, and ran to the sea without any trouble, or our Heishuitan. Kuro Er laughed.

"I want to go to sea too. ”

"Oh what?" Hei Er was stunned for a moment, and looked at Hei Da curiously, "Aren't you dizzy in the sun, are you? ”

"You don't need to ask, this is for myself, and for the entire Black Water Cave!" said Lao Lei. Immediately, he summoned the crocodile beasts and announced that he was going to sea.

The crocodiles were shocked, originally Hei Da had nothing to do to learn human walking, and it was already a laughing stock in Huaguo Mountain, how could his brain be hot this time, and he was going to go to the sea to find immortals again. Did Heida live for hundreds of years and now have Alzheimer's?

"Whatever you think, I'm determined anyway. Lao Lei said, "Hei Er, you can help me make a raft another day, prepare some cured meat and wine, and I'll set off immediately." ”

The crocodiles are helpless, Hei Da is the boss of the crocodile clan, and he can't stop the crocodiles from doing whatever he wants.

Immediately, Lao Lei took Hei Er and them to get some trees and simply made a big raft. Then Lao Lei got enough cured meat to eat for several months, and also brought two cans of coconut wine, a specialty of Huaguo Mountain.

Then Lao Lei said goodbye to the beasts of Huaguo Mountain, took a raft alone, and drifted across the sea.

Lao Lei sat on a raft made of trees, drifting along the sea breeze and straight into the waves. The wind direction is northeasterly, and this raft is naturally heading towards the situation of Nanzhan Buzhou. If you want to go from Dongsheng Shenzhou to Xiniuhe Continent, it is naturally impossible to walk from the land, so you have to pass through the boundless wilderness and climb over Mount Meru in the middle of the four continents.

Along the way, Lao Lei was quite quiet, although he was a crocodile and was not afraid of water, but his body was too big, and he was afraid that he would overturn the raft if he was not careful.

Lao Lei was also thinking about a question. According to the plot development of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong's monkey should have arrived in Xiniu Hezhou and was accepted as an apprentice by the Bodhi Patriarch, which looks quite strange.

It stands to reason that this monkey is unknown, and the Bodhi Patriarch is also a hidden master, so why did he accept him as an apprentice. This must have been planned in advance, just as Renekton met with chance, and the monkey must have also got it.

This plot seems simple, but in the various studies and speculations of later generations, it actually reveals a considerable amount of strangeness. In particular, the identity of the Bodhi Patriarch has caused countless people to speculate, some people think that this Bodhi Patriarch is a hidden saint, some people think that this Bodhi Patriarch is a person under Taishang Laojun, and some people think that the Bodhi Patriarch is the quasi-Taoist of the Western Sect behind Buddhism. And Sun Monkey was able to worship under his door, which was definitely premeditated.

However, Lao Lei can't control so much now, and the means played by these saints are not something that he, a crocodile who has not become a demon, can manage.

Lao Lei didn't know how long he had been drifting, and suddenly encountered a gust of wind and sent the raft to the shore.

Lao Lei went ashore, only to see that this was a beach, and there were people on the beach to hunt geese, dig clams, dry nets, and pan for salt. These people were taken aback when they saw a raft floating on the sea, and a large black-backed crocodile standing on it.

"Hehe, there are a lot of people here, and since you have reached the human realm, you have to learn the style of human beings. Old Lei smiled.

Lao Lei rushed directly to the crowd, opened his bloody mouth, pretended to be a vicious demon beast, and frightened a group of people to flee in all directions.

"Mom, youkai!"

"Help!

Lao Lei grabbed a tall human, stripped off his clothes, and put them on himself. But as soon as he put on Lao Lei Ke, he was depressed. He was originally a big crocodile three feet long, even if a person stood up and pinched his head and tail, he was still more than a foot tall, and human clothes were too small to wear, almost like a small vest.

But Lao Lei didn't care, just treated it as a sweatshirt. Wait until you have cultivated a demon body, and then change your body shape.

Lao Lei changed his clothes and walked towards the interior of the land.

Along the way, the two passed through many human towns and learned some human words. Lao Lei originally had a foundation, he just needed to adapt to the way the crocodile sounded, and Lao Lei also found that he should be in the realm of Nanzhan Buzhou now. The previous gust of sea breeze blew itself here.

Fortunately, Lao Lei found a map from a roadside stall, and he knew that he was on the west coast of Nanzhan Buzhou, not far from Xiniu Hezhou.

Lao Lei walked around Nanzhan Buzhou for a few days and saw the customs. This Nanzhan Continent is a human-dominated situation, and now it should be ruled by a dynasty called the Qin Dynasty, but the emperor of the Qin Dynasty is also quite bold, integrating most of the entire Nanzhan Continent together, making it a vast country.

Then Lao Lei got some cured meat, wine and other food, came to the coast, found his own raft, and continued to sail.

It's another lonely and lonely journey, and Lao Lei is used to it now, and he can endure loneliness. Those immortals and monsters, which one is not tens of millions of years old, the road to cultivation is long, how can it be without perseverance?

Exposed to the wind and sun, the waves beat and the rain showed, Lao Lei finally saw the land again. According to the signs on the map, this should be Xiniu Hezhou.

Lao Lei let out a long roar, jumped onto the shore, abandoned his raft, and headed towards the interior of Xiniu Hezhou.

This Xiniu Hezhou is completely different from the Nanzhan Continent, Xiniu Hezhou is sparsely populated, wilderness is everywhere, and demons are rampant.

After walking for a while, Lao Lei met someone. To be exact, I met a youkai!

Lao Lei was startled at first, and then calmed down, isn't he also a monster?

Coming in front of him were two lion spirits, one with black hair on his head and the other with white hair, tall and no different from Lao Lei. When they came to the shore, they were also stunned when they saw Lao Lei.

"I said starling, there's really a crocodile here!" the black-haired lion looked at Old Lei curiously.

The white-haired lion nodded: "Grandpa is really clever, there is really a crocodile here." ”

Lao Lei frowned, these two lions seemed to have come specifically to find him.

"Dare to ask the two eldest brothers, do you know how to go to Zhujie Mountain?" Lao Lei asked tentatively.

The white-haired lion grinned: "I'll just say that grandpa is clever." Ten days ago, our grandfather gave us an order that a black-backed crocodile would come to the shore here in ten days, and let us take the black-backed crocodile to Zhujie Mountain. ”

Lao Lei immediately understood in his heart that this should be the work of the mysterious predecessor who gave him the opportunity.

Immediately, Lao Lei followed the two lion spirits and headed towards Zhujie Mountain.

It is said that as one of the four major continents, Xiniu Hezhou is naturally vast and boundless. Moreover, Xiniu Hezhou is known as the most chaotic place in the four continents, the power is intertwined, and there are countless hidden masters, even the heavenly court is difficult to manage the affairs of Xiniu Hezhou.

Along the way, over the mountains and mountains, the two lion spirits led Renekton all the way to the west.

After seven or eight days, Lao Lei and the others came to the foot of a mountain.

A good mountain peak, only to see the whole mountain peak towering, straight into the clouds, full of thousands of zhang high, the most peculiar thing is that each mountain peak is like a bamboo joint, there is a ring in the middle.

"Brother Crocodile, this is Bamboo Mountain. Our Zhujie Mountain is not very famous in the Three Realms, but no one has ever dared to mess with it!" the white-haired lion spirit proudly introduced, "Our grandfather is quite a powerful master, even if the great saints of the demon clan see their grandfather, they are all respectful!"

Obviously, their grandfather was a rather terrifying demon king. None of the Great Sages of the Demon Clan is the existence of the Three Realms of Megatron, but they all have to be respectful in front of their ancestors.

The lion spirit took Lao Lei up the mountain and came to a cave. This cave is called Jiuqu Panhuan Cave, and the door of the cave looks ordinary, with only a black plaque hanging.

The two lion spirits came to the door of the cave, took out a token and swept it over the door, and the door opened by itself. Yes, this Jiuqu Panhuan Cave is actually entered by swiping the card, but it is a bit high-end and atmospheric.

"Eighth Elder, Ninth Elder, are you back?" opened the door with a small lion spirit, and saw that the two big lion spirits were a little respectful.

"That's right, you go and inform Grandpa right away, and say that the person he wants has been brought. The white-haired lion spirit said.

Lao Lei followed the two lion spirits and continued to walk inside, only to see that the entire Jiuqu Panhuan Cave was full of lion spirits, large and small, with different coat colors, and there were nearly 100 lions. Moreover, the entire Jiuqu Panhuan Cave is vast and boundless, there are a total of nine caves, and Lao Lei and the others entered the widest cave in the middle.
