Chapter 576: The Golden Body (Grand Chapter)
At the moment when Xuanzang and Tianpeng were swallowed by the giant hand formed by the black water, the monkey hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop it.
But at this moment, he revealed his flaws.
The surging black water enveloped him entirely, and in a panic, some of it even poured into his mouth.
At that last glance, he saw that the giant hand formed by the black water was scattered by himself, but there was nothing inside. Immediately after that, he was already caught in the fierce battle with those rivers.
Splashes of water obscured the sky.
The gigantic body brings great attack and defense, but it also greatly reduces speed and agility. When dealing with such a large circle, it is not only useless, but harmful.
The black bear spirit, the roller blind, and the little white dragon who had already landed on the opposite bank looked back at what happened behind them in amazement.
......
"Hit!" Under the water, the Peng Demon King suddenly terminated his control of the magic circle, and pointed at the Prison Tamarin King with Fang Tian's halberd: "You stay." ”
As he spoke, he kicked his legs and swam into the distance.
This kind of swimming does not have any spiritual power output, not even any movement, it is simply propelled by the power of the river.
Stunned for a moment, the Lion Camel King also hurriedly rushed up.
The real battle began.
......
"Scatter!"
With a loud shout, the black water entangled beside him was forcibly shaken away by the monkey with spiritual power.
In a hurry, this spiritual power even provoked a whirlwind to spread wildly around, blowing the little white dragon off guard, and he had to cover it with his hand and retreat a few points.
The whole river seemed to explode and calmed down.
By the time the river recedes. The monkey quickly lifted the law and looked down like a heavenly. found that Tianpeng and Xuanzang were gone. The rapids were mixed with pieces of wood left over from the crushing of the boat.
Because he suddenly dissolved the relationship between the law and heaven and the earth. A huge whirlpool quickly formed on the surface of the river, forcing the raging water to rotate with the suction, so as to buy a little respite.
However, before he could fall in the air, streams of waterspouts had already risen into the air again, roaring towards him.
"Steady. ”
A voice sounded in the monkey's head.
"Canopy?" the monkey couldn't help but be stunned.
"It's me. The water of this river is very strange, although it blocks the outside world from perceiving things in the river, it does not block the perception of the outside world from the river. ”
"What's your situation now. Where?"
"Master Xuanzang is with me, safe for the time being. We're about 500 zhang southeast under your vertical. ”
At this time, the canopy, which had stepped on the silt at the bottom of the river, propped up a spherical shield centered on itself and more than three zhang in diameter, isolating all the river water.
There was enough air in that shield, and Xuanzang was panting beside the canopy.
Holding the nine-tooth nail rake, the canopy looked around vigilantly.
Drops of water slowly fell from his forehead, and he didn't know if it was sweat or the water in the river.
The situation couldn't be worse at this moment.
His perception of the qiē on the surface of the river was still very clear, but as soon as he entered the water, there was only the range of three zhang around him. Anything beyond that was a blank slate for him.
Attacked at such a distance. Not to mention that there is a Xuanzang beside him, even if he is alone, it is difficult to deal with other cultivators who have cultivated more than Taiyi Golden Immortal.
Without the slightest hesitation. The monkey fell like a meteorite from mid-air, dodging the current of water that was coming at him and escaping into the river.
The no-fly circle was still there, which meant that he couldn't control his body at will. Whether in the air or in the water, this is the same in principle. And in such a fierce current, if you want to swim, unless you are an aquarium in the first place, it is simply impossible.
The only way to act in such a place may be to "walk".
Sinking directly to the bottom of the river, the monkey spread its feet and rushed in the direction that the canopy had said.
But he hadn't run a few steps before he noticed something unusual.
At the bottom of this river, there are many magic circles that have never been seen before, all of which are in Sanskrit, and they are obviously written by Buddhism. Many of them are not even activated until now.
It is clear that the comers have planned in detail, even estimating all their possible moves, and have arranged them accordingly.
"Really...... Well-intentioned. Thinking about it, the monkey couldn't help but laugh.
He already had a premonition of the next predicament.
This kind of opponent who can sit down and plan carefully is actually more terrifying than those opponents who fight against themselves with knives and guns. This is probably the terrible thing about the path of enlightenment to the path of practitioners.
On the battlefield, the Dao of Enlightenment is definitely not an opponent of the Dao of Walkers, but once it retreats into the background, it will soon become a difficult opponent.
It is a pity that Buddhism is almost all "enlightened paths", and they abandon suffering and happiness, they are purer than the enlightened paths of Taoism, and they are more able to ponder their opponents in detail.
Soon, he discovers an even bigger problem - the bottom of the riverbed is soft silt!
If it was usual, you would have been able to move forward with these muds. But this is not the case at the moment.
The monkey pressed his legs into the mud, and the river water, which was like a sharp knife, could easily sweep away the mud like the autumn wind sweeping away the fallen leaves.
The river can't push the monkey's body, but it can keep the mud flowing like another rushing river. Leave him unable to act.
In desperation, the monkey used the Falling Technique to increase his weight, sinking his body deep into the mud until he stepped into the deeper sand.
With his hands outstretched, he stepped on the sand and stones, using all his strength to directly break through the oncoming silt. Unfortunately, it was still too slow.
......
In another location on the river.
There was a muffled sound, and suddenly, the shield of the canopy was torn open from the side and back. A large knife rushed out of the gap, and the figure of the Lion Llam King could be seen in the black water.
Before the canopy could turn around. The Lion Llama King has already rushed through a short distance of three feet. A knife slashed at the waist of the canopy.
Under severe pain. Canopy gritted his teeth and wielded a nine-tooth nail rake to fight back.
But before the nine-foot nail rake could fall in the air, the other party had already drilled out the shield from the other side and disappeared into the black river.
Canopy knelt on one knee over the wound on his waist, blood dripping from his fingers.
"Marshal ......"
Xuanzang wanted to help, but was stopped by Tianpeng reaching out.
"Leave me alone...... Be careful yourself......"
That being said, but at the bottom of this river, what can Xuanzang do?
The other party was waiting for an opportunity to move beside him, and the canopy looked around with wide eyes. But he couldn't see anything.
At this moment, Tianpeng suddenly felt the monkey rushing out of the river with the power of the golden hoop stick, and suddenly his heart chuckled.
The monkey's position has changed, and it is farther away from itself!
Because he can perceive the changes in the outside world, with the help of a few references, Tianpeng can clearly know that although neither he nor Xuanzang moved, the position was silently shifting.
To make matters worse, the monkey was positioned farther away than it had just been. It is clear that the monkeys are also experiencing some problems at the bottom of the river, so that there is a certain shift in position.
"The location has changed. The original location is twenty feet to the west!"
It was this fleeting moment that the canopy quickly informed the monkey of his location.
The monkey did not answer. Instead, it quickly rushes into the water.
The situation no longer allows him to think about it.
Holding the nine-tooth nail rake, Tian Peng slowly stood up, changed hands, and put on a posture to meet the battle. His gaze continued to scan the dark river outside the shield.
There was a muffled "boom", and the shield above his head was broken.
A Fang Tian painting halberd stabbed along the gap towards the forehead of the canopy.
In the panic, the canopy had to flash to the side.
At this moment, the shield on the side was broken again, and the Lion Camel King once again rushed out with a big sword. This time, the landing point of the broadsword was the neck of the canopy.
Between the lightning and flint, gritting his teeth, Tianpeng hurriedly used a nine-tooth nail rake to block it.
But at this moment, the Peng Demon King rushed in along the crack above his head, rolling in the air, and Fang Tian's halberd slashed heavily on Tiancang's arm, bleeding like an infusion!
Immediately afterward, just as Tianpeng was distracted and dodged the Fang Tian Painting Halberd, the Lion Camel King suddenly punched the wound on Tianpeng's waist with one free hand!
This blow directly knocked Tianpeng into spitting blood.
The next moment, just when Tian Peng thought it was over, the two demon kings turned around and broke out of the shield and disappeared into the black water.
A spiritual power condensed in the palm of the canopy, and the shield that was broken and riddled with holes was quickly repaired, stopping the black water that was frantically pouring in.
When he turned around, he saw Xuanzang with his hands folded on the side and a dignified expression, and he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
In this level of battle, Xuanzang has no possibility of participating in it at all. As long as you can take care of yourself and don't add to the mess, it will already be a great help.
But what's going on with the Lion Camel King and the Peng Demon King?
I thought it was someone from Buddhism, but it turned out that two demon kings appeared. What's going on? The Demon King took refuge in Buddhism? Or did they really believe the rumor that Buddhism released that they could live forever?
For this reason, Canopy can't think about it at the moment. The question he was more concerned about was, is the other party's expression cautious or confident?
What a good opportunity, just now I have been stabbed twice, and I am facing the close assault of the Lion Camel King, as long as the Peng Demon King takes a little risk, there should be a great chance to take Xuanzang.
But the other party actually gave up......
Were they really so sure that the monkey wouldn't be able to get there anytime soon?
At this moment, the canopy once again felt the monkey protruding from the water with the help of a golden hoop stick.
"Where did you just go...... Fifty-one zhang to the northwest ......"
A mouthful of blood spilled out of Canopy's mouth.
They moved again, and they clearly did not move, but the water, and even the silt at the bottom of the river, moved. To make matters worse, the monkeys are far and near, and they are clearly not out of the river bottom.
In such a situation, can the monkey really find itself?
Just when the canopy was a little desperate, the monkey that was slowly falling from mid-air adjusted its body in the air, and pointed the golden hoop stick in his hand directly at the position reported by the canopy!
"Long-!"
With a shout, the golden hoop stick in the monkey's hand suddenly stretched out, penetrating the river, and the shield of the canopy pierced into the silt at the bottom of the river beside Xuanzang!
Time. The sand and silt on the bottom of the sea have been lifted up.
Tianpeng suddenly realized. Hurriedly stretched out his hand towards the golden hoop stick that was not far away.
But at this time. The Peng Demon King suddenly broke through the shield behind the canopy and appeared beside Xuanzang.
In a hurry, Tianpeng had to turn around and smash it towards the Peng Demon King.
Peng Demon King hurriedly dodged, but this flash, but it was closer to Xuanzang.
And at this moment, behind the canopy, the lion camel king suddenly appeared, and a horizontal slash slashed at the back of the canopy.
A scream. Blood spurted out.
Under the severe pain, Tianpeng had to turn around to deal with it.
The Peng Demon King grabbed Xuanzang in one hand and Fang Tian's halberd in the other, and retreated violently, ready to escape into the black water at any time.
At this moment, the canopy is already at the end of the crossbow.
Wounded, bleeding, and in danger, he dealt with two opponents whose strength was almost equal to his own at the same time, and he had to protect Xuanzang. It was simply an impossible task for him.
However, in the midst of this fierce fight, Tianpeng slammed the big knife in the hand of the Lion Camel King with all his might, and the tiger's mouth was in severe pain. The Lion Camel King had to take two steps back, accidentally stepping on the golden hoop stick that stabbed diagonally into the mud behind him.
Suddenly. The vibration sensation on this side instantly transmitted to the other end of the golden hoop rod.
Before everyone could react, they only heard a loud "bang...... At the top of the shield, the monkey got in......
In an instant, the Lion Camel King, the Peng Demon King, the face turned white!
"It's you!"
I saw the monkey roll in the air and kick the lion camel king in the face with a heavy kick, directly kicking him out.
Immediately after, he landed on his toes, sprinted, and punched the Peng Demon King in the abdomen.
Under this blow, the armor on his back was torn.
In the severe pain, the Peng Demon King had no choice but to let go of the hand holding Xuanzang and turned around and escaped into the black water.
The monkey did not pursue, but quickly carried Xuanzang behind him, dragging the scarred canopy with one hand and the golden hoop stick in the other, and shouted-"Long!"
Suddenly, the golden hoop broke through the river and rushed to the opposite bank.
"Hold!"
The black bear spirit standing on the shore reacted quickly when he saw the golden hoop stick smashed beside him, and quickly grabbed it!
The next moment, under the drag of the black bear spirit, the golden hoop rod shortened at an extremely fast speed, pulling the monkey, Xuanzang, and Tianpeng out of the water together!
......
The black water laps against the banks of the river in waves, and it looks like ocean waves.
The clothes of the three people who sat in the shallows had been dyed a pure black color.
"Damn, it turned out to be them! Don't let me meet, let me meet, these two guys don't want to live! They shouldn't have been spared a dog's life in the first place!" dragging Xuanzang and Tiancang, the monkey scolded and walked towards the riverbank.
Wisps of black water choked out of Xuanzang and Tianpeng's mouths.
In the distance, the black bear spirit and the rolling shutter waded towards them in a hurry.
"Stop scolding...... It's useless to scold. Tianpeng coughed heavily, coughed up blood, and dragged the monkey's hand to float weakly in the water: "This battle is not something they can make, they have someone behind them." Even without them, there would be another group of people doing it. ”
The blood continued to spill from the wound and floated on the water, red and black mixed in color, looking like cinnabar on an ink painting.
In this fierce fight, the monkey was basically unscathed, Tianpeng was already injured, and Xuanzang was a mortal, although he only had half a life left, but it was much better than Tianpeng.
At the very least, he can still struggle to stand up on his own.
"Are you alright?"
Xuanzang checked up and down, and slowly shook his head: "Let's see how the marshal is first." ”
The monkey carried the canopy on his back.
"Badly hurt?"
"Sort of. Tianpeng replied with a pale face: "I can't die." But if you come any later, I'll be dead. ”
"At a critical time, you have to believe in the Great Sage, understand?"
The monkey smiled heavily, and walked step by step to the riverbank with the canopy on his back, meeting the roller blinds and the others.
......
At this time, at the bottom of the river, the three demon kings had already gathered in one place.
The magic circle on the side was still circulating, and the thin old monk in the middle was still sitting motionless, and some strange golden element was scattered around like fireflies.
From beginning to end, he didn't move at all, and it looked as if he had sat down.
Holding the golden awl given to him by the Peng Demon King, he looked at the three of them cautiously.
The Prison Tamarin King did not participate in the sneak attack, so he was naturally unharmed.
The lion camel king was kicked by the monkey. There was a look of pain on his face. It doesn't seem to have eased up. Looks like it's a bit choking.
The Peng Demon King was also hit hard. But it doesn't seem to be a big deal.
Looking at the three demon kings with somewhat ugly faces, Fei Jie said cautiously: "Just now, why don't you just capture Xuanzang? Or kill him." ”
The Peng Demon King rolled his eyes and snorted coldly, "Do you need to do what I do?"
"It's not a matter of leaving it alone. Yu Jiehan said with a smile: "Just such a good opportunity......
Before the words fell, Fei Jie had already noticed that the Peng Demon King was glaring at him, and when the words that were about to come to his lips were swallowed back, he turned his head and said, "I'll spy on them." ”
The demon kings were silent.
Helpless, he had to leave in a huff.
After the dragon is gone. The Lion Camel King frowned and said, "Just now...... It is indeed a rare opportunity. ”
Peng Demon King stretched out his hand and rubbed his temples, and said coldly: "What do you know, in that situation just now, if you are not careful, Xuanzang may die at any time." ”
"What does it matter?" the Lion Camel King raised his head and said, "Didn't the King of Jizo say, just use the golden cone to take blood, and get the blood, as for Xuanzang's life or death, it doesn't matter." ”
Hearing this, the Peng Demon King sneered and sighed leisurely: "He definitely doesn't care." Actually, it's not that it doesn't matter, but it's better to die. It's just a matter of killing Xuanzang. It can't come from his mouth. This is the same reason that Shakyamuni could not kill Xuanzang. It is said that they want to test Xuanzang, but in fact, they are all proving their own ways and arguing their own laws. ”
After a slight pause, the Peng Demon King continued: "However, for us, Xuanzang can never die. You must remember this. ”
"Why is that?" asked the Prison Tamarin King on the side, raising an eyebrow.
"Because Xuanzang is dead, what are we?" Stretching out his hand to cover the position where his abdomen had been hit by the monkey, the Peng Demon King walked to the edge of the magic circle step by step, looking at the monk inside: "Xuanzang is dead, and the monkey will break the jar and fall." Do you think he really can't solve this black water? If you force it, he can completely divert the whole river and cut it off. Besides, what the Buddha promised you and me, will you all take it seriously? Xuanzang is alive, the monkey is a threat, and we are the knife, so that their hands can not get bloody. As soon as Xuanzang died, the monkey was not a fart, and Buddhism no longer needed us. Hey...... The dragon kid still hasn't figured out the situation. Revenge? When the time comes, Wei Zheng is dead, and revenge is avenged. The monkey was angry, and his family was not even enough to plug their teeth. It's not enough for the West Sea Dragon Palace to be buried with them, so who will avenge them?"
Hearing this, the Lion Camel King couldn't help but nod apprehensively.
The prison marmoset king on the side was helpless.
It is clear that they are all on the wrong track. The story of the monkey letting go of the red child has spread throughout the Three Realms, and the monkey has no intention of bothering with his former subordinates to the end.
If they had bowed their heads and admitted their mistakes like the Bull Demon King, they might not have needed to go to the opposite side of the monkey at all.
But at this point, who can guarantee that the monkey will forgive them as much as he forgave the Bull Demon King?
One wrong step, and now they can only bite the bullet and go all the way to the dark.
After being silent for a while, the Peng Demon King laughed slowly and said, "Don't worry, they can't run for the time being, we still have a chance." ”
......
At this moment, it was sunset, but everyone did not stay away from the Heishui River, but camped on the bank of the river.
When the monkey stepped on the bank of the Blackwater River, he had already discovered that the land on the other side of the river had been shrouded in the circle at some point. Walking around quickly, he soon realized that what they had stepped on was not the opposite bank at all, but an "island" in the Blackwater River, or a mile-square enclave on the banks of the Blackwater River, surrounded by tumbling black water.
"Thousands of calculations......" the monkey couldn't help but laugh helplessly.
This is where I am in the light and the enemy in the dark.
To put it simply, as soon as the other party sent Na Jie to be the captain, he had already made up his mind to lure his group here. Pulling around in the boat, crossing the river at an extremely slow pace, on the one hand, to try to seize the opportunity, and on the other hand, to stall for time, to paralyze the pedestrians, and wait until the boat had come down the river to this area.
Although he is still not really out of danger, fortunately, the other party does not have the courage to set foot on land. Overall, it can be regarded as a temporary comeback.
But how should such a situation be broken?
Did you just use the golden hoop rod to take them across the Blackwater River one by one?
Although the other party may not have something hidden in the river, this trick is not impossible. At the very least, these people can't do anything to the monkeys while they're there.
However, at such a long distance, how many people can a monkey take at a time? What if the monkey leaves to take people with him?
Thinking about it, the monkey suddenly thought of a strange story he had heard when he was a child. It is said that a tiger gave birth to two little tigers, a leopard, once the big tiger is not there, the little leopard will bite the little tiger to death, and now you have to cross the single-plank bridge, you can only take one at a time, and you want to bring all three little ones safely, what should you do?
How can a tiger give birth to a leopard?
This is a question that the monkey still hasn't understood.
Thinking all the way, the monkey slowly walked back to the camping place, and saw Xuanzang lighting a fire on the side, the black bear spirit collecting firewood, and the injured canopy still lying still.
Walking step by step to the canopy, the monkey sat down cross-legged, looked at the river and said, "Is it better?"
"Much better. Tianpeng coughed dryly twice, and said slowly: "Maybe we all guessed wrong, it wasn't the Buddha who came." ”
"What's that?" the monkey looked back.
Pursing his lips, Tianpeng hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice, "It's probably ...... The golden body of a certain Buddha who became a Buddha. This thing is sometimes more difficult to deal with than the Buddha himself. (To be continued......)
PS: Well, I made a change in the outline yesterday, and I changed it again today. Of course, it is more merged together. Too many new chapter subscriptions will drop......
