Chapter 262: Swaggering
Under the twilight, Sun Wukong walked on the muddy mountain road.
He stepped on it, his feet were covered with mud, and he felt fresh.
Sun Wukong looked left and right, and then his heart became playful, just like when he was seeking the Tao, jumping up on the mountain road.
"How is that human like a monkey?"
A leopard secretly observes Sun Wukong in a dense forest.
It's a bit weird, but it's just an ordinary person, and there's no threat.
The leopard found an opportunity and rushed over.
Sun Wukong was playing happily, and suddenly a yellow shadow came from behind him like a spring.
He instinctively dodged away, and the yellow shadow hit the sharp stone in front of him, and the stone made a loud noise, making it can't help but wail.
After the leopard wailed, it immediately arched its body and opened its bloody mouth: "Human, why are you dodging!"
"If you're going to kill me, of course I'm going to get out of the way. ”
Sun Wukong looked at the leopard, it can speak human language, and it has obviously become a essence.
But even if he becomes a spirit, he is just a little demon.
Sun Wukong walked over and examined its wounds.
The leopard didn't bite a few times, and looked at him with some incredulity.
"You're not afraid of me?"
"I've seen a lot of monsters, so there's nothing to be afraid of. ”
A white light appeared in Sun Wukong's left hand and cured the leopard.
He then got up and glanced up at the sky.
The sky was cloudy, and it seemed like it was going to rain.
"Alright, I've got to find a place to spend the night. ”
He touched the leopard's head and continued along the mountain road to a Taoist temple called Ox Temple.
Sun Wukong knocked on the door.
The door opened, and the Taoist boy inside came out to take a look, and immediately closed the door with a frightened face.
"Boy, pass by here on the next road. ”
Sun Wukong said: "Can you borrow it for one night?" ”
"There's a leopard behind you. ”
The voice of the Taoist boy came from the door.
Sun Wukong turned his head and saw that it was the leopard who followed.
He then laughed and said, "This leopard also wants to hide from the rain, why is it difficult for you to let it stay for one night?"
"No, no!"
The Taoist boy in the door refused repeatedly.
Sun Wukong was helpless, and was about to leave, when a voice came from the depths of the Taoist temple: "Let them in!"
Then, the frightened Dao Tong opened the door.
But as soon as he saw the leopard, he ran into the Taoist temple.
Sun Wukong walked in with the leopard, and immediately saw a crane-haired and childish old man ushered in him.
"Poor Dao is the master of scalpers. ”
Lao Dao bowed his hand to Sun Wukong, and when he looked at the leopard beside him, he knew that he was not an ordinary person.
"Sir, but you're from the Land of All Souls?"
Lao Dao asked.
"How does the viewer know?"
Monkey King is a little strange.
"Just look at the clothes. ”
Lao Dao replied.
The costumes of the Kingdom of All Souls are extremely beautiful, and he has seen many Ten Thousand Souls merchants wearing similar clothes in Chang'an.
Lao Dao invited Sun Wukong to the temple and instructed the Taoist priests to pour hot tea for him.
The two chatted for a few words, and the old man brought rice again.
"It's all coarse tea and light rice, please take a moment for a while. ”
Lao Dao said to Sun Wukong.
"It doesn't matter. ”
Sun Wukong felt that this viewer was very enthusiastic.
"My rice, rice seeds, come from Huaguo Mountain. ”
Lao Dao said: "Fifty years ago, many surrounding villages came here to seek rice seeds, but now no one cares. ”
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong was a little strange: "I passed through several villages along the way, why can't I see anyone?"
"I don't know, sir. ”
Lao Dao shook his head and said, "They have all been requisitioned." ”
He told Sun Wukong that at the beginning of the reign of the current human king, he issued a demon order, recruited men from all over the country to enlist in the army, and launched a mighty demon war in Nanganbuzhou.
The youkai of Nanbu Continent are scattered in all directions, and most of them have fled to Xiniuhe Continent and Dongsheng Shenzhou.
This is also one of the reasons why the population of the Land of All Souls exceeds 10 million.
However, the war lasted for decades, and humanity paid a heavy price.
There are several villages around Scalper Temple, which are now uninhabited.
"This demon order is simple to say, how can you really clear demons. ”
After hearing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say.
"What the gentleman said is very true. ”
Lao Dao sighed: "It's a pity that Poor Dao didn't understand it back then. ”
He also participated in this war, and after decades, he realized that he was doing useless work.
Unless human beings cut off all living beings, how can there be no monsters at all in this world?
The human king's actions angered the monsters and made Nanganbu Continent even more unstable.
"I have heard that now Fang Shi and all kinds of demons gather in Chang'an, the capital of the capital, and use the fantasy and evil magic of the left side door to confuse everyone, and do everything. ”
Lao Dao said: "Your Majesty is eloquent, but for some reason, he turns a blind eye. ”
Sun Wukong showed a thoughtful expression.
"Forget it, don't talk about it. ”
Lao Dao then asked, "Why is the gentleman here?"
"Plant trees. ”
Sun Wukong replied.
"Planting trees?"
Lao Dao showed a puzzled face.
Nothing happened overnight.
The next day, Lao Dao and a few apprentices watched Sun Wukong walk around the courtyard.
"Are you sure it's here, sir?"
Lao Dao asked, "If there is nothing here, how can it be possible to plant trees." ”
Sun Wukong didn't reply, he dragged the light in his hand, and slowly fell to the ground.
As soon as the incense was burned, the Ten Thousand Souls Tree rose from the ground.
The Taoist priests were taken aback.
"What kind of spell is this?"
Lao Dao hurriedly asked.
"All Souls. ”
Sun Wukong replied.
Lao Dao was shocked in his heart: "This is the immortal technique that mortals can also use?"
Sun Wukong turned his head to look: "Have you heard?"
"Naturally, I heard it. ”
Lao Dao nodded: "I have heard that the Great Sage created the Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao, but I don't know what it is. ”
When I saw it today, it was really magical.
"Sir doesn't have the slightest magic power, why can he create a tree out of thin air?"
Lao Dao asked.
Sun Wukong didn't hide it, so he told him again.
The old Taoist didn't understand, but he admired it: "Can Mr. teach me this Ten Thousand Spirits Immortal Dao?"
"Teach you?"
Sun Wukong frowned slightly, he had no plans to accept apprentices, and he didn't have time to stay here.
"Poor Dao is dedicated to seeking the Tao, but due to the limitations of his qualifications, he has not achieved much so far. ”
Lao Dao gave up his hand to Sun Wukong and said, "Just a little bit, Mr. can teach me the fairy way." ”
Sun Wukong thought about it, looked at the old Tao's eager eyes again, and made a decision in his heart.
"I shouldn't stay too long. ”
Sun Wukong said: "If you want to learn, you have to follow me." ”
"What's so hard about that. ”
Lao Dao's spirit was shocked, and he immediately ordered his disciples to pack up their salutes.
"There's one more thing I have to warn about. ”
Sun Wukong said: "If you follow me, there will be many dangers. ”
"Sir, rest assured. ”
Lao Dao smiled: "We are people who seek the Tao, and we can die at night when we hear the Tao." ”
Sun Wukong was stunned, but he didn't expect him to say such a thing.
In this way, a group of Taoist priests followed Sun Wukong to spread the Tao of Ten Thousand Spirits, and added a leopard.
Along the way, Sun Wukong did not hesitate to share knowledge, but unconsciously, the crowd around him gathered more and more.
It's no longer like it's acting in secret, it's swaggering.
