The ancient road is west wind, and the sun is setting.

On the official road to Chang'an, Jiang Liu's team continued to march under the afterglow of the setting sun.

"Master Xuanzang, there are still more than 230 miles to Chang'an, it is already night, it is very unsafe for monsters to run rampant at night, let's go to the front post station to rest, and set off again tomorrow morning?" Li Jingfu asked Jiang Liu.

"Master Li is too polite, you arrange it, listen to you. Jiang Liu got out of the car and said.

Soon, Jiang Liu and his party came to an official post station to rest.

There was a special person, after preparing everything in the room, he began to eat, and after walking for a day, Jiang Liu was already hungry.

"I wonder how many mages will eat?" asked the people in the post station to the three of them.

Zhengde and Zhengming immediately looked at Jiang Liu.

"Three simple servings of meat. ”

"Uncle Shi, let's add another meal. Zhengde heard that he asked for three servings of meat, and hurriedly added.

"No, three portions of meat are fine!" Jiang Liu gave a look at Zhengde and directly suppressed the words behind him.

Jiang Liu glanced at Zhengde and knew what Zhengde thought, but he ignored it. Since it is his own team, he must vigorously cultivate, not only in strength but also in thought. They will be grateful to themselves in the future, in this bizarre and mythical world, how can they not do everything possible to improve their strength.

For Jiang Liu and the others ordering meat, Master Li didn't think there was anything wrong. In the Tang Dynasty, some monks could eat meat, after all, the demon race in this world was constantly threatened, and eating meat could strengthen the body and accelerate the cultivation of martial arts.

The air in this world is full of aura, everything has spirits, and naturally all things will absorb a certain amount of aura with breathing and eating. The more powerful the organism is, the more spiritual power it subtly absorbs, and the more it eats, the better and stronger it is. But meat is very expensive, and it would be good to eat a meal of meat during the Chinese New Year.

The river flow is quenched three times at this time, which is the critical moment of desecration and requires a lot of energy. It has to go through a lot of tempering to change one's physical body and be reborn. Once you completely adapt to the spiritual power of heaven and earth and are accepted by heaven and earth, you will become an innate soul.

Human beings are congenitally weak, and it is difficult to move in this era when the desolate demon race is rampant, and even exists like blood food. However, everything in heaven leaves a glimmer of life. Human beings can continue to strengthen themselves the day after tomorrow, and they can evolve to the innate from the day after tomorrow, and this process is called metamorphosis.

Soon the group went back to their rooms to rest after eating.

Jiang Liu came directly to Zhengde's room and saw Zhengde, who was sitting on the ground and had been pouring through atonement.

"Angry in your heart?" Jiang Liu asked.

"The master and nephew would never dare. ”

"Have you ever seen a precept that clearly states the prohibition of wine and meat?"

"It's not really, it's just that over the years..."Zhengde looked stunned.

Jiang Liu directly interrupted Zhengde's words and said, "No, the monks, what you want is to have a Buddha in your heart, and to cultivate the Buddha is to cultivate the mind, and what you want to cultivate is the Buddha in your own heart, your own Dharma, not to be restricted by these precepts." ”

"Yes, my nephew understands!"

"Okay, don't get up yet, in the future, let me see you pouring such scriptures, see you beat you once. In the future, I have to spend half of my time practicing and practicing boxing every day, and I must break through to the eightfold blood coagulation within half a month. Jiang Liu said in a deep voice.

"Ah, half a month, this is too difficult, isn't it?" Zhengde just got up, and almost knelt down in fright.

"It's not difficult at all, your qualifications and talents are very good, even better than Zhengming. After arriving in Chang'an, I will find a way to get a large amount of meat and medicinal food to nourish the body, and I will practice well in the future. ”

"Thank you, Uncle Xuanzang, I'll go to cultivate. Although Zhengde doesn't know why, it sounds so weird, but he knows that Uncle Xuanzang is good for himself.

After Jiang Liu enlightened Zhengde, he was very satisfied and left Zhengde's room.

Jiang Liu is very satisfied with the attitude of Zhengde, and it will be good to slowly cultivate his thoughts and strength in the future.

Jiang Liu plans to use the explosive knowledge of his previous life to enlighten him, and only when people know enough knowledge can they have correct judgments, keep their hearts, and not be frogs at the bottom of the well. This is the reason why Jiang Liu came to this world to continue to learn Buddhism and martial arts.

Jiang Liu walked downstairs, studied the Diamond Sutra for a day, and now needs to relax, planning to go outside to enjoy the scenery, and try to see Chang'e in the moon. As soon as I got around the corner, I heard the two officials downstairs discussing the monster.

"Have you heard, in the mountain village not far from us, a family of three died last night when monsters were haunted. ”

"Ahh ”

"My house is next door to them, and I'm scared when I get home. ”

"It should be fine, after all, we are considered to be on an errand in the imperial court, and we should also have a trace of national fortune protection, and we will not enter the evil spirit, right?"

Jiang Liu thought it was very interesting after hearing it, he had always heard that there were monsters in this world before, but he had been in the temple before, and there had never been monsters sneaky in the pure land of Buddhism to make trouble. I didn't go to admire the moon, and walked directly to the two little officials.

Through the words of the other party, Jiang Liu was convinced of the saying of luck, and as long as the officials of the dynasty had a trace of it, then if he became the abbot of Hongfu Temple at that time, wouldn't he also enjoy the blessing of a trace of imperial luck.

"What were you two talking about?"

"Master Xuanzang!" the two of them were just talking about the terrible thing, when they suddenly heard someone calling themselves, they almost jumped up in fright, and after seeing that the person who came was Master Xuanzang, they calmed down.

"Master, let's talk about the mountain village 4 miles away from here, 3 people have died in a row recently, the death is extremely miserable, the whole body has no skin, and now it is rumored to be a sneaky killing, so scared that the people around them dare not go out in the middle of the night, and the doors of every house are closed at night. ”

"The official didn't, maybe it was artificial, deliberately making this kind of thing to cover up the truth of the matter. Jiang Liu's brows furrowed, and he guessed after pondering for a moment.

"It's because of the report to the official that it will become more and more terrifying, and a deceased person reported to the official to look for protection, but that night. In front of everyone's eyes, he said, "Ah! It's coming, it's not me, don't kill me."

Then, like a ghost, he kept scratching his skin, and his strength was so great that he couldn't stop it at all, and finally strangled himself to death. The little official seemed to think of something fearful, and his body trembled violently, and it took a moment before he slowly recovered.

The first time Jiang Liu heard this kind of thing, he also felt that the cold was pressing.

After that, Jiang Liu asked a lot of details, and it seemed that various factors should really be the devil and the monster at work.

Judging from the information provided by the second official, this monster seems to be asking what to look for, and Jiang Liu has a hunch that someone may die tonight.

Jiang Liu was very entangled for a while, save people, his strength is not enough, I don't know how strong the other party is, if I put myself in, it will not be worth it. If you don't save it, let it go, and I can't bear it, plus there's a trace of curiosity about monsters.

Just when Jiang Liu was worried, the Buddha beads on his wrist emitted a trace of cool power, and Jiang Liu's mood calmed down in an instant.

How did I forget it, seeing the Buddha beads given by the master in my hand, although I couldn't see the grade magic weapon, it was definitely very strong, and Jiang Liu had infinite confidence in an instant.

Although Jiang Liu already had confidence in slaying demons, he knew that he still couldn't be reckless.

The road is one foot high, and sometimes it comes the other way around. Although I grew up watching Uncle Nine movies, there are many dangers, but it is better to think long-term.

Jiang Liu first came upstairs, directly interrupted Zhengde's cultivation, called Zhengde Zhengming over, and asked them to follow behind him. Then I came to Master Li's room.

"Master Li, have you ever fallen asleep?" Jiang Liu knocked on the door and shouted inside.

"But Master Xuanzang, I haven't fallen asleep yet, so I'll open the door for you. Li Jingfu shouted outside the door.

Moments later, the door had been opened.

Jiang Liu looked inside, and there were three people sitting on the ground in formal clothes, as if they were discussing something.

"What are you discussing?" Jiang Liu asked suspiciously.

"Oh, we are discussing the route of tomorrow, how to go more safely, and send the mage to Chang'an as soon as possible. Li Jingfu explained.

After Jiang Liu heard it, he was still a little moved, at least he was a good and responsible official, "There is Lord Lao and you." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, by the way, mage, there is nothing important about visiting late at night. ”

"That's the case...... Jiang Liu told everyone what he had heard and what he thought before.

Li Jingfu didn't say anything, and a man beside him said after a deep groan: "Master Xuanzang really deserves to be a high monk, and he is compassionate. Judging from the experience of many years of humble duties, this should be a little demon or a sneaky method, mostly to scare and make the deceased commit suicide, and its Taoism should not be deep.

Of course, it cannot be ruled out that the big demon did it on purpose, but according to the official Persona record, there is no big demon recorded nearby, and if the mage wants to get rid of the demon, he should protect it. ”

Jiang Liu was secretly happy in his heart, ha, big brother, just wait for you to say this, not to let you, the 7-fold master of the Quenching Body Realm, protect me, I would have gone by myself, and I would have come back from catching demons.

"Amitabha, then let's set off with a little preparation, saving people's lives is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter." As soon as Jiang Liu heard his analysis of the sentences, it seemed that it should be a little monster, and he hurriedly urged, he had not seen a monster in the temple for three years.

Liu Hong came downstairs, and after asking the little official again, he seemed to be completely relieved, and he also brought four peak masters of the blood condensation realm, after all, for the safety of Master Xuanzang, it was the top priority of this mission.

A group of 9 people set off directly towards the mountain village.
