Chapter 18: First Encounter with the Little Demon
"Heaven, I heard that there are three Tibetan scriptures in the Western Lingshan Da Lei Yin Temple, Buddhism is boundless, can purify all sentient beings, and transcend the sea of suffering, I sent Master Xuanzang and Mo Chen Gongzi today to seek the true scriptures, pray to the heavens and the earth, protect the two, and admire this. β
On the outskirts of Chang'an, on the altar of worship, on the high platform, Li Shimin held a roll of dragon-patterned Ming topaz silk, solemnly reading, and below was the Tang Dynasty monarchs and ministers on both sides, and Mo Chen and Xuanzang stood in the center, looking respectful.
After Li Shimin finished reading the will, he lit the holy decree with a torch, and respectfully bowed three times and nine times between heaven and earth, while Mo Chen and Xuanzang saluted at the same time: "Receive Your Majesty's holy decree." β
After the burning of the holy decree, Mo Chen only felt a slight relief from top to bottom, and his own mana was more lively, knowing that this matter was really settled, and Datang's luck recognized him and Xuanzang to learn scriptures.
Sacrificing to the sky and sacrificing to the gods are two different things, there is nothing that can represent the sky, even the Jade Emperor, the lord of the Three Realms, is also a god, not the sky, the sky does not need to be sacrificed, the heaven is the way of heaven, the way of heaven is ruthless, everything is treated equally, and the heaven sacrificed by mortals is actually the luck of their race.
The Journey to the West was initiated by Datang, and at this moment, it was recognized by Datang's luck, and Mo Chen was really justified.
However, Mo Chen didn't plan to protect Tang Seng, his position was still the same as Liuding Liujia, seeing that Tang Seng would not die, just ensure that the scriptures were learned smoothly, and other disasters or something, he looked at it coldly, and he had those apprentices there, otherwise what use would they have?
As soon as the ceremony of sacrificing to the sky was over, Li Shimin pulled the two of them to drink a glass of farewell wine together, and then sent them to leave.
Li Shimin also gave a lot of things, customs clearance papers, purple gold bowls, as well as two miscellaneous servants and a good horse, and offered enough coils and dry food, but he was quite careful.
And the reason why a horse is that Mo Chen takes the initiative not to ride, he can't ride a horse, if he wants to go faster, as soon as he uses the technique of turning rainbows, in the blink of an eye, it is the end of the world, what mount do you want?
Leaving Chang'an City, the group walked all the way to the west for a total of several months, and arrived at the border of the Tang Dynasty.
During these days, Mo Chen has always maintained the appearance of being a stranger, and he didn't say a few words to Tang Seng, but he gave the brocade robe and nine-ring tin staff he took from the Bodhisattva to this Tang elder, which made Tang Seng feel that he was cold and kind-hearted.
This is Tang Seng is a little naΓ―ve, what Mo Chen thinks in his heart is that without these two angry treasures, how to seduce those female monsters on the way to the west, without those female monsters, I am afraid that Buddhism will have to make up for other disasters.
changed the plot, it would be very bad for Mo Chen.
So Mo Chen is really not hot, purely for his own sake, anyway, he can't use that baby, and to be honest, in the face of Tang Seng, a little white-faced monk, he is still faintly jealous.
That's right, Tang Seng is also handsome and extraordinary, and the key people also have an elegant and modest temperament, which is naturally formed by reading poetry and Buddhist scriptures for many years, this temperament is the most deadly, no wonder so many female monsters follow one another, give up eating him and want to be with him.
Reincarnated and re-cultivated, a good man in the tenth world who has no power to restrain the chicken, although he can't achieve the effect of immortality and the like, his skills have increased greatly, and his life span is definitely extended, but first, Mo Chen does not eat people, and secondly, his cultivation is too high, and Tang monk meat can play a small role, otherwise he wants to try.
At this time, it was late autumn, Elder Tang got up early in the morning, took the servant horses, and rushed towards the outside of the border of the Tang Dynasty.
Mo Chen's eyes froze, there was a demonic aura!
Elder Tang and a few mortal servants did not stop, they were still picking grass to find the way, but at this time, the sky was not yet bright, and the road was not easy to find. Mo Chen shook his head, the two servants sent by the Tang King are about to explain here, and they are still looking for a way.
He doesn't have any intention of rescuing, he is the demon king himself, monsters eat people or something is the most common, and this is Tang Seng's catastrophe, although he has an identity of walking on the bright side to learn scriptures, but the task is to lead Liuding Liujia after all, secretly protect Tang Seng, as long as this great monk does not die, the catastrophe that should be experienced, he will not interfere, of course, it depends on the mood, anyway, he is not afraid of offending the Buddha or something to be kicked out of the team.
Sure enough, before he took two steps, several people fell into a big pit with their horses, Mo Chen was naturally unharmed, he pinched a stealth trick and hid aside, and suddenly a gust of demon wind blew out of thin air, and there was a fishy smell floating in the demon wind, and a majestic voice: "Little ones, take the future, take the future." β
As these words echoed in the mountains, dozens of little demons suddenly sprang out near the big pit, and they tied up the frightened few people with a terror.
The demon had just tied up Tang Seng and a few people, but he heard a loud voice from the mountain: "General Yin, Xiong Shanjun and the special sergeant are here." β
As soon as these words fell, another demonic wind blew in the flat ground, and when the wind gradually dissipated, I saw a fat man and a big black man standing on the edge of the pit with a smile.
Mo Chen pouted on the side, a tiger spirit, a bison spirit, and a black bear spirit, the momentum is not small, in this wilderness, there is a demon wind at every turn, who can show it?
"Uncle Shi, you see that those demons are going to eat Tang Seng, do you want to take action to secretly protect it?"
Sure enough, the three-headed demon was pointing and cutting Tang Seng's heart, and Tang Seng's eyes were closed, trembling all over his body, and he was chanting Amitabha Buddha there.
"You can watch these little demons, don't bother me. Mo Chen directly found a clean place, closed his eyes and meditated, and said with an impatient expression.
Indeed, several earth immortal-level little demons, Liuding and Liujia are all gods in the early stage of the heavenly immortals, and the four-value Gong Cao and the nineteen guardians Jialan are also immortals and Buddhas at the peak of the earth immortals, this is just cultivation, not to mention the gap between many immortal gods and spirits and monsters, where can they be protected by Mo Chen, they can easily clean up the little demons in front of them.
Can you not, the work of subduing demons and destroying demons to save the master still has to be those apprentices, who are secretly protecting them.
But when he saw Liuding and Liujia pinching the Dao trick with their hands, a touch of golden light suddenly appeared, and while the three demons were discussing whether to eat steamed or fried, they quickly disappeared into Tang Seng's body.
And after these three little demons discussed, they were just about to do it and slaughter Tang Seng, but they found that they couldn't get close to Tang Seng's body no matter what.
What's the situation?
The three little demons stared at each other with big eyes, frightened and abnormal, and after a long day's effort, the Xiongshan Jun said: "Don't eat everything, eat two, and keep one." β
