Chapter Twenty-Nine: The Tribulation of Wuzhuang Guan
The fungus does not know the obscurity, and the cockroach does not know the spring and autumn.
The world is vast, and there are ups and downs in the Three Realms. As soon as the Journey to the West tribulation began, the saints entered the Zixiao Palace, and the five people who responded to the catastrophe finally embarked on the long journey to the west under the design of the Hongjun Dao people, competing for the great luck of heaven and earth.
It is said that after Pangu opened the sky, he left an axe mark that ran through the three continents, and the Hongjun Daoist people used this axe mark to set the road to the west. The five people who responded to the catastrophe of the Journey to the West were all robbed in Beiju Luzhou and headed towards Xiniuhe Continent.
"It's been a year. Renekton looked at the sky of Xiniu Hezhou and said slowly.
"Hehe, third junior brother, aren't you thinking about your Mingsha Mountain?" said Zhu Bajie on the side. Renekton knocked Zhu Bajie's pig head with a smile and said, "Second Senior Brother, are your ears itching again?"
A group of five people left the 800-mile desert a year ago, and experienced two or three more disasters in the middle, and they were still safe. However, in recent months, Zixiao Palace's Journey to the West list has not sent the next calamity.
Tang Sanzang also became silent along the way, and since he had an epiphany in the eight hundred miles of desert, his whole personality had changed. He doesn't seem to be afraid of the two demon kings of Sun Wukong and Renekton anymore, and he only thinks about taking the Western Scripture.
The crowd climbed over several mountains, crossed several rivers, and came to the realm of Xiniu Hezhou.
"Xiniu Hezhou, my old grandson is here!" Sun Wukong looked quite excited. You must know that most of the territory of the entire demon country is on Xiniu Hezhou, and there are people from the demon clan everywhere, and of course they are respectful to the demon kings such as Sun Wukong, and it is not easy for other forces to play tricks against them.
"Is this the Xiniu Hezhou?" Tang Sanzang also said in a low voice, "I heard that the Xiniu Hezhou is the most dangerous and complicated place in the Three Realms, so we have to be careful." ”
As soon as the words fell, Sun Wukong suddenly ignored everyone, flew high into the air, and looked ahead. Then he fell, secretly pulled Renekton, and said, "Eighth brother, something is strange. ”
"Oh?" said Renekton, his brow furrowed, he didn't notice anything wrong.
"Do you know that my master is the life experience of Patriarch Bodhi?" asked Sun Wukong.
Rekton nodded and said, "I've heard my master and third brother mention that you and your master are both descendants of the Honghuang Ancient Clan. ”
"But we are not the only ones who are descended from the Honghuang Ancient Clan. Sun Wukong said in a deep voice, "At the beginning, the flood was shattered, and after the Yuan Shi Tianzun destroyed the flood ancient clan, some of the remaining descendants of the flood ancient clan were secretly born in the Three Realms. Among them, there is a descendant of the Honghuang Ancient Clan, whom I also know, and his territory is ahead. ”
"Who?"
"Zhen Yuanzi!"
In Zixiao Palace, a golden light suddenly lit up on the Journey to the West list, and another catastrophe appeared.
"Huh?"
"How is it possible?
"Good guy, this Flood Ancient Clan actually secretly participated in the Journey to the West Tribulation. By the way, one of the two demons, Sun Wukong and Renekton, must be a descendant of the Honghuang Ancient Clan!"
"Amitabha, the ancient clan of the flood wilderness actually has to share the luck. ”
All parties in the Three Realms seemed to have discovered a shocking secret, but they didn't expect that the Honghuang Ancient Clan would also participate in the Journey to the West Tribulation. Immediately, some people suspected Sun Wukong and Renekton, and the Honghuang Ancient Clan was actually a relatively taboo topic in the Three Realms. At the beginning, the flood was shattered, and some of the remaining people of these flood and ancient clans were secretly hidden in the Three Realms, not daring to show their heads.
Taoism as a whole and even Buddhism are quite unfriendly to the Honghuang ancient people. Especially the exposition of the Yuan Shi Tianzun, the original Honghuang Gu clan was destroyed by the Yuan Shi Tianzun, so naturally they made every effort to suppress and exterminate it, and the people who explained the religion even called the descendants of the Honghuang Gu clan the remnants of the Honghuang or the Honghuang rebel party.
"It's really whatever you say. Renekton read the news of the Great Sage and said with a wry smile, "Your Honghuang Ancient Clan is about to be exposed now. ”
Sun Wukong shrugged and said, "No way, expose it." My master and his old man have already prepared, let's take one step at a time. ”
Immediately, a group of five people continued to move forward.
I saw that among the mountains, there is a willow forest, in which the birds are singing, on the clear spring stone, the breeze is blowing, and it is a blessed land of immortals. And in the willow forest, there is a Taoist temple standing in the middle, and occasionally the sound of chanting and preaching comes.
"This is Zhen Yuanzi's Wuzhuang view. Sun Wukong said, "Eighth brother, you and the second junior brother are both from my demon clan, Zhen Yuanzi should not reject you." At that time, Master, you are a Buddhist, and Buddhism and my Honghuang Ancient Clan have always been at odds. ”
Tang Sanzang just said lightly: "I know for the teacher." ”
The five of them walked towards the five villages, and met two Taoist children with red lips and white teeth waiting for them outside the door.
"Under the breeze. ”
"Under the bright moon. ”
"Meet the five great immortals, my master is not there because of something, so let the two of us wait here. ”
Then the two boys of Qingfeng and Mingyue led a group of five into the Wuzhuang Temple. Renekton looked left and right, and saw that the bluestone was the ground in the five villages, and the green tiles were on it, lush, and there was a sense of tranquility and far-reaching.
"Aren't you Honghuang Ancient Clans all pursuing unrestrained primitiveness?" "Renekton asked secretly, "Why doesn't this Zhen Yuanzi look like the style of the Honghuang Ancient Clan at all?" ”
Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "Eighth brother, you don't know, the people of the Honghuang Ancient Clan are also divided into several categories. My master and this Zhen Yuanzi belong to the more elegant ones, and they both like to live in some places like Xianjia Cave Mansion, and my master is even more clean. ”
"By the way, how powerful is this Zhen Yuanzi?"
"I don't know, but he shouldn't have reached the quasi-saint, but he is definitely a top master in the heavenly realm, I'm afraid that he is not weaker than you, eighth brother. ”
"I saw that Zhen Yuanzi was not fake, he should have been hiding somewhere. Renekton analyzed, "The appearance of the Honghuang Ancient Clan will naturally attract the attention of the Three Realms, and Zhen Yuanzi will definitely not be able to deal with it alone, so he simply hides by himself and let us help him block the arrows." ”
"Probably so. Sun Wukong nodded.
Anyway, Renekton and Sun Wukong were muttering and discussing, but Zhu Bajie and Tang Sanzang were chatting happily with Qingfeng and Mingyue. Not long after, this Qingfeng and Mingyue said that their ancestor Zhen Yuanzi had a ginseng fruit tree, and asked them to pick some ginseng fruits to honor the four masters and apprentices.
"Ginseng fruit?" Reekton was stunned for a moment, suddenly remembering some legends he had heard. This ginseng fruit is a different species in the flood era, a rather magical fruit tree, its fruit is like a human baby, when it encounters gold, it falls, it enters the soil, it burns when it encounters fire, it melts when it encounters water, and it withers when it encounters wood. Moreover, the ginseng fruit blooms once every 3,000 years, bears fruit once every 3,000 years, and then matures after 3,000 years.
Then Qingfeng and Mingyue took four ginseng fruits and presented them to the four people.
Renekton was secretly happy in his heart, he could still mix a mouthful of ginseng fruit to eat, which was really a good benefit. However, Renekton had just eaten a bite of the ginseng fruit when he suddenly frowned, and thought of something he had seen in an ancient book.
Immediately, Renekton left an avatar to accompany everyone, turned into a gust of wind, and quietly came to the backyard of the five villages.
I saw that in the backyard, there was a huge fruit tree standing, with lush branches and simple shapes, and more than 20 ginseng fruits on it. Renekton slowly walked over to the ginseng tree, looked around, and reached out and tapped on the trunk.
"Sure enough!" Rekton's face suddenly froze, as if he had discovered some secret.
At this moment, the sky suddenly became cloudy!
Renekton hurriedly flew into the air, and on the other side, Sun Wukong also turned into a golden light and flew out, and the two looked at the clouds in the sky with solemn eyes.
Suddenly, countless gray currents floated out of this dark cloud and fell to the earth.
The gray air was like a terrible poison, and everywhere it passed, not a single grass grew, the trees died, and the birds and beasts hissed, as if they were seriously ill. The entire lush valley was turned into a purgatory on earth by this gray air current.
"Is this the plague?"
"Oh no!" At this time, Zhu Bajie hurriedly flew up from Wuzhuang Guan and shouted, "Master, he was suddenly infected with the plague!" Then Zhu Bajie was speechless when he saw the desolation and plague everywhere.
"Hahaha, Thunder Demon King, we haven't seen each other for a long time!"
A familiar voice came from the sky, and Renekton looked up to see that the person who came was none other than his old acquaintance, the current acting sect leader, Taiyi Zhenren.
Taiyi Zhenren looked at Renekton and Sun Wukong with a smile on his face, and said: "Thunder Demon King, Sun Monkey, one of the two of you should be the remnant of the flood wilderness, right? But it doesn't matter, I don't want to move the person you should rob, I am here today to arrest Zhen Yuanzi, the remnant of the flood wilderness." ”
Renekton sneered: "Taiyi, but you may be disappointed, because Zhen Yuanzi is not here, he has already hidden." ”
"Is it??Are the people of the Honghuang Ancient Clan all shrunken-headed turtles?" A hoarse voice came, and I saw that among the countless clouds, two Daoists with thin faces slowly walked out.
"Let me introduce myself, I am Li Ping, the plague Taoist of the plague department. ”
"I am Lu Yue, the true monarch of the plague department. ”
Plague Department!
Renekton and Sun Wukong stared at each other at the same time. Good guy, I didn't expect Taiyi Zhenren to dispatch one of the four plague departments in order to deal with Zhen Yuanzi. Among the four divisions of the Heavenly Court, the Thunder Department is the strongest, but the Plague Department is indeed the most disgusting and terrifying, because although their plague is not a big threat to masters, it is almost insolvable for people with low cultivation, and it is definitely a weapon of mass destruction.
"Zhen Yuanzi, do you think you can hide?"
In the clouds, another person walked out slowly, this person was wearing a Taoist robe, looking like a fairy wind and bones, but a pair of gray eyes made people shudder.
