Chapter 312: Bhikshu Country
Ren Qinglian and Dapeng were fighting a lot, and Zhu Gangguan and Sha Wujing, who were hiding in a col somewhere outside the city, naturally saw it clearly, but before the victory or defeat was decided, the two of them chose to turn a blind eye very tacitly, and waited until they saw the demon king defeated from a distance, and then they led a group of monkey soldiers to the city.
The wild running of thousands of monkey soldiers made a lot of movement.
Xuanzang hadn't recovered from the shock of Ren Qinglian's repulsion of the Peng demon, but he was awakened by the shouting of killing like a charge, subconsciously grabbed the monkey's hand, and said in shock: "Wukong, that monster still has a helper, and it has come back!?"
The monkey snorted coldly, pinched a trick, and saw the noise outside disappear in an instant.
And in front of Zhu Gangguan and Sha Wujing, a huge group of monkey soldiers turned into a flutter of monkey hair dancing in the air.
Xuanzang was puzzled, so he heard Sha Wujing's voice coming: "Master, don't be afraid, Wujing is here!"
"The old pig is coming, too!" came the voice of the pig.
Xuanzang said "suddenly": "It turns out that Bajie and Wujing have subdued the monsters outside!"
The monkey's face darkened, and the two good junior disciples had already broken into the door.
Ren Qinglian held back a smile, took the opportunity to pull away from the topic, and didn't say a word about what means she used and what magical powers she used in the battle with the Dapeng Demon King.
The group braved the cold, stayed in the rain and dined in the wind, and continued on the road. Autumn went to winter, and finally saw a city again.
Xuanzang saw a few big characters engraved on the city gate from a distance, and asked the monkey: "Wukong, where is that compartment?"
The monkey said angrily: "When I arrived, I naturally knew that if it was the national capital, I would go to change Guan Wen, and if it was an ordinary state and county, I would spend the night!"
Xuanzang was stunned for a while, and he couldn't understand what kind of madness this monkey had, since he left the Lion Camel Country, he was like someone else owed money.
"Master, if it's an ordinary city, we'll pass through the city, and if it's the national capital, we'll just change Guan Wen here. ”
Seeing that the atmosphere was a little embarrassing, Zhu Gangguan said happily: "Since there are people, it doesn't matter if it is a big city or a small city, let's find a place to have a hot meal!"
"Eat, eat, eat, you know!" the monkey rolled his eyes, "My grandson sees that this city is not simple, and the resentment above the city is condensed, obviously there is a grievance ......"
Zhu Gang said with a smile: "When did Senior Brother learn astrology," he said, and looked at Ren Qinglian again: "Saying this in front of Ren Jushi, don't you think that some Guan Gong is playing with a big knife in front of him?"
"Uh," Ren Qinglian, who really closed her eyes and studied the changes in devouring space, couldn't help but open her eyes when she heard this, and smiled bitterly: "Don't, what the Great Sage said is right, the sky above this city is indeed full of resentment, and the evil spirit is very heavy, I'm afraid there are monsters in the city." ”
Along the way, he was observing the changes in the Devouring Space. Although the inner heaven and earth of the clone was constructed by the deity with the power of the dantian world, it already had its own unique evolution trajectory after fusing the gluttonous devouring space. However, this evolution has been very slow, and so far, there has been no more noticeable change, except that the atmosphere that devours space has become much more peaceful. But Ren Qinglian knew that his devouring space already had a part of the Buddha Yuan, which could be transformed into a Buddha Kingdom world similar to the Buddha Kingdom in his palm at any time. It's just that he doesn't have any intention of establishing a Buddhist country to spread his faith, for the time being, he is just using this change to understand the power of the Buddha.
Xuanzang heard the word "monster" is not light, subconsciously tightened the reins in his hand, and slowed down the horse's pace, "Ren Jushi knows what kind of city it is, how can there be monsters!"
This monk is actually not stupid, he listened to the slapstick of the apprentices, and vaguely guessed that Ren Qinglian had the magic means of "unknown prophet", since he touched the ash of the nose of the monkey, this lazy entourage just "woke up", so he tried to ask.
Ren Qinglian gave Xuanzang a little face, nodded and said: "There are three big characters written on the tower of the city, as for why there are monsters doing it, I don't know this!"
In my heart, I was thinking that the old abbot of the bhikshu country seemed to be the mount of the birthday star, and he had a little friendship with Fulu Shou Samsung on Penglai Island back then, so he just took this opportunity to try to let the old man help drive away the bad luck on him. Although this bad luck has not caused serious consequences so far, but there are many extraneous branches along the way, and even he suspects that the fight with Dapeng has something to do with the bad luck on this body, but his luck is good, and he turns evil into good fortune! But luck is too elusive, who knows if he will always have good luck......
Although Xuanzang learned the name of this city, he felt that it was better not to ask, and the news of the monster was not found, which made him a little worried along the way.
After entering the city, looking at the streets that were quite prosperous, and could even be said to be a scene of Heqinghaiyan, everyone felt a ubiquitous chill, which seemed to confirm Ren Qinglian's previous statement.
Xuanzang tensed his body and looked around on horseback, and soon noticed a scene that was extremely incongruous with this prosperous atmosphere. I saw that there was a goose cage at the door of every house, covered with a five-colored satin curtain, but the wind blew a corner, but it made Xuanzang see clearly that the cage was filled with children, and even let the monkey go to check.
After some inspection, the result was shocking, those cages were full of boys, some sat in the cages and played, some sat in the cages and cried, some ate fruit, and slept, but the pedestrians who came and went turned a blind eye and no one cared for them.
The monkey remembered Ren Qinglian's words, and had already guessed that it might have something to do with the monsters in the city at this time, and with a roll of his eyes, he landed on an old sergeant sleeping in the wind under the sunny wall, and stepped forward to inquire.
When the old man saw the monkey's respectful face, he was shocked, and naturally he had to answer all questions. The monkey soon returned to Xuanzang's side and told the story one by one: "Three years ago, an old Taoist came to this bhikshu country with his daughter who was twenty-eight years old. When the king saw that his daughter was beautiful, he was fortunate to be in the palace, and he was greedy for pleasure day and night, so that he was thin and tired, and his body was weak, and he did not eat much food, and his life was in danger. Guozhang, that is, the old Tao, visited the fairy prescription, saying that it requires 1,111 children's hearts and livers, decoction and medicine, and there are thousands of years of immortality after taking them. The parents of the people, afraid of the royal law, did not dare to cry, so they spread rumors, called the children's city......"
Xuanzang listened, and even King Huana was a dumb monarch without a way, but Ren Qinglian knew that all this was just done by Bailu Jing on purpose. For three years, the king of the bhikshu kingdom has always been in a fierce body, so good that he can be greedy day and night. It was only not long ago that he fell ill, and the white deer spirit proposed to use the child's heart and liver as a medicine prescription.
This time was chosen very coincidentally, the king of the bhikshu country was overjoyed and ordered to select one thousand one hundred and eleven children from the people of the capital and put them in a goose cage, waiting for tomorrow to kill the refining medicine, just at this time, Xuanzang and others came to this bhikshu country.
The days were obviously calculated, and before that, the white deer spirit had not done anything heinous except for offering a fox spirit to the king, and after that, those boys were saved by the monkeys, and the white deer spirit did not really do evil.
In this whole process, Bailujing is just performing according to the script arranged by the birthday star and the Bodhisattva. The only victim seems to be the only one who is described as handsome and looks like a white-faced fox of Guanyin.
