Chapter 573: Trap
On the boundless surface of the river, the water was controlled by mana to push the ice floes, carrying the boat slowly towards the other side of the Heishui River little by little.
The Black Bear Spirit and the Rolling Shutter quickly jumped out of the boat with their weapons in hand, and stood on the ice floes to look around vigilantly.
Tianpeng held the nine-toothed nail rake and protected Xuanzang firmly behind him.
The man stood motionless holding the frozen oars as if nothing was going on with him.
In the middle of the boat, the monkey was still sitting cross-legged, looking up at the sky slightly, and sighed lightly: "Say, who are you, what is your intention to make a move against Master Xuanzang?"
Hearing this, the little white dragon hurriedly shrank behind the monkey. At this moment, only the little white dragon is left among all of them, and he can't figure out the situation.
"Big ...... The Great Sage laughed. The captain slowly grinned dryly, and sighed softly: "Who can be the old man......? The old decay is just the captain on the Heishui River. ”
The wind swept over the ice that the monkey had cast and condensed on, blowing on his face, and a chill hit him, but the sweat couldn't help but slide down drop by drop.
"The acting is so bad, don't pretend. The monkey stretched, stood up, carried the golden rod to his shoulder, turned his head to look at the captain, and said, "One last chance." Who are you?"
"Great Sage...... Are you mistaken?"
"Three. ”
"The old man is really just the captain of the Heishui River, don't be wrong for the good guys!"
"II. ”
The man's face turned white.
"One. ”
Before the words fell, I saw the captain fall to the ground with a "plop".
A burst of white light flashed, and the captain had changed his appearance. Transformed into a youkai about seven feet tall.
Upper and lower jaws up to a foot long. The whole body is covered with brown scales. The long ten fingers looked extremely sharp, and there was a long tail behind him.
It looked like a crocodile.
This qiē seemed to be expected for everyone else, but the little white dragon screamed in surprise.
"Jie Jie?"
The crocodile spirit glanced up at the little white dragon slightly, but did not say a word.
"Is it really you? Why are you here?"
Canopy asked softly, "Do you know him?"
"This is my cousin, the son of the uncle Jinghe Dragon King I just mentioned. The little white dragon hurriedly stopped in front of the monkey and said, "Great Sage, this is my cousin Jie Jie." It must have been a misunderstanding. ”
"Really?" the monkey stared coldly at Jie Jie, still unmoved.
At this moment, only a muffled sound of "bang" was heard, and the whole ship shook violently with the frozen ice.
Xuanzang almost fell to the ground.
At the same time, the ice sculpture that had been hanging overhead was shattered by the waist and smashed towards the boat.
At that moment, the monkey rolled, and the stick suddenly stretched out and stabbed against the falling wave ice sculpture.
In an instant, the huge ice sculpture shattered, but continued to smash towards the boat like a sliding mountain.
Such a violent "hail" rain. If it is really hit, mortals will definitely die.
In a hurry. Tiancang hurriedly propped up the shield and protected Xuanzang in it.
At this moment, the ice outside the boat had completely cracked, and the black bear spirit and the roller shutter standing on the ice were in a hurry, dodging and jumping back to the boat.
But at this moment, just as everyone's attention was being distracted, the dragon jie who was kneeling on the board of the boat suddenly burst out, pushed away Ao Lie who was blocking the monkey and rushed towards Xuanzang.
Just between the lightning and flint, the monkey made a backhand, and the golden hoop rod quietly changed its trajectory and roared towards the sprinting dragon.
Before Yong Jie's hand touched the corner of Xuanzang's clothes, the monkey had already hit him the waist.
With a "bang", the whole thing was knocked down on the board, and a mouthful of blood splattered out.
If it weren't for the fact that it was not easy to perform in this small boat, I am afraid that this moment would have taken the life of the dragon.
The opportunity was fleeting, and Yu Jie didn't dare to linger any longer, only to see him roll over with his injuries, and directly rolled out of the hull and fell into the water.
This qiē came very quickly.
In this short moment, the ice that was originally used to resist the wind and waves was shattered, the monkey and the canopy were busy resisting the falling ice sculptures, the roller blinds and the black bear spirit were forced back, and the dragon Jie shot at Xuanzang, the monkey counterattacked, and the dragon Jie fled. Before and after, the little white dragon didn't even have time to say a word, and it was already over.
The crushed ice rained down on the boat, making a rattling sound.
The little white dragon watched the ripples of the water splash in the distance slowly swing away, and for a while, he was dumbfounded.
"Chase!" Rolling Shutter gritted his teeth and was about to jump out of the boat, but was pulled back by the canopy.
"Don't chase, he has a fellow party. Raising his head, the monkey saw that the height above his head was less than three feet above the surface of the river, and at some point there was already a huge magic circle suspended in the air.
This circle is so large that it almost spans ten miles of the river, and it is impossible to see the edge at a glance.
Following the monkey's gaze, the black bear spirit also saw the huge magic circle, and said hesitantly: "By the way, just now, we didn't seem to be able to perform the Cloud Soaring Technique. ”
The monkey sighed helplessly and said, "This should be a forbidden flight array, and it is important to protect Master Xuanzang." ”
The no-fly magic circle that the old white ape was proud of back then, I didn't expect to meet it again in this situation. The difference is that the strength of the caster this time is by no means comparable to that of the old white ape, and the range of spells is also extremely large.
The wind and waves on the river became more and more frenzied, and the whole ship was jolting up and down violently like dead leaves, as if it might be swallowed up by the waves at any moment. If it weren't for the canopy, maybe Xuanzang would have been thrown out of the boat.
Holding Xuanzang, Tianpeng looked up at the magic circle, and said softly: "Can it be broken?"
"Yes. However, the movement is a bit big. Lowering his head, the monkey looked at the tumbling river: "What is above is just an illusion, if the other party paints the circle on top of our heads, we can't be unaware." The real circle should be at the bottom of the river. The other party, also at the bottom of the river. It seems that this black river has been planned for a long time. ”
......
At this time, in the Heishui River, the injured Jie Jie had already escaped for a long time.
Stretched out his hand and took out a piece of white jade from his waist and put it in his mouth, and suddenly, the black river in front of him suddenly became no different from usual. There are even schools of fish looming around.
In the blink of an eye, he was planted on a hill at the bottom of the river.
Standing on the hill were the three demon kings of the Peng Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Prison Tamarin King. At their feet, there was a blue circle with a diameter of more than ten zhang and covered with Sanskrit characters slowly circulating.
In the middle of the circle, from a distance, it looked like a thin monk sitting cross-legged with his hands folded. It's a pity that I can't see my face clearly with a turban.
Seeing the arrival of Yu Jie, the Peng Demon King hurriedly greeted him.
"Missed?"
Lying on the ground, covering the wounds, she nodded in pain: "That monkey is too fast...... As long as he was by the monk's side, he couldn't do anything at all. ”
The Lion Camel King looked at the dragon Jie lying on the ground and snorted helplessly: "Then what should I do next?"
The Peng Demon King glanced back at the monk in the center of the magic circle, then looked up at the river, and said, "Even if they can't start, with this thing here, they can't escape for the time being." Trap them first, and if you can force them into the water, it's the best. ”
With that, the Peng Demon King walked quickly towards the circle and stood on one of the corners of the circle. The other two demon kings also hurriedly walked to the other two corners of the circle.
Slowly, the three of them began to inject spiritual power into the circle.
......
At this time, whirlpools had formed on the surface of the river.
The monkey even saw a fish being thrown out of the river by the water, and then torn in half by two whirlpools.
If it weren't for the fact that the monkey had blessed the boat with spiritual power, it had forcibly stabilized its center of gravity. At this moment, the ship is probably torn apart like the fish.
These are no longer water, they are liquid knives at all!
In the midst of the raging waters, the boat moved slowly despite all the wind and waves and turbulence. That's extremely slow.
However, just when everyone thought that it was only a matter of time before they reached the other side and left the circle, suddenly the whole ship shot forward, and quickly deviated from its original course under the unpredictable river water, and the whole ship flew irregularly in the rolling waves.
The roller shutter and the black bear spirit were already taking care of themselves, the canopy was tightly holding Xuanzang, and the little white dragon was dragging the stern of the boat, and he was almost thrown out.
Finally, the monkey finally stabilized the boat again, but he no longer dared to move in any direction.
All of them were out of breath, as if they had only half a life left.
Tianpeng looked at the waves blocked by spiritual power, and a drop of cold sweat slowly slipped down his forehead.
"I'm afraid...... It's not as simple as a no-fly circle. ”
At this moment, the monkey's whole face turned pale.
"This is the magic of Buddhism. ”
"The magic of Buddhism?"
"Yes, it's a Buddhist thing, it seems that that Yongjie has taken refuge in Buddhism. ”
"This is impossible!" The little white dragon on the side shouted loudly: "My dragon clan has no contact with Buddhism, how can Yongjie take refuge in any Buddhism?"
With this call, everyone looked towards the little white dragon.
The monkey looked at him expressionlessly and said softly, "Are you his cousin?"
"Yes. The little white dragon nodded.
"Okay, you go down and talk to him, ask him about the matter, and then come back." ”
Saying that, the monkey reached out and dragged the little white dragon, so frightened that he hugged Xuanzang and refused to let go, so that Xuanzang almost turned his back on it, and the monkey let go, let go of the little white dragon, and walked to the side of the boat angrily.
Pointing to the river flying in the sky, Tian Peng said: "The power of this magic circle is not small, do you think, who will come? There should be few people in the Buddhist sect who can cast a magic circle of this strength, right?"
"At least one of the four great Buddhas. Without thinking, the monkey replied, "Dharma-Ming Nyolai, Fuxian, Manjushri, otherwise, it is the strange and unpredictable King Jizo." (To be continued......)
