The west bank of the Liusha River is also a desert, but unlike Nanbu Island, the sand here is as white as snow, and from a distance, it looks like a white earth felt stretching out......

In the evening of this day, Xuanzang and his party finally walked out of the desert, and the light evening breeze blew on their faces, and everyone felt relieved and felt comfortable.

"I've been on the road for days, so let's rest here tonight. "With the help of the demon pill sent by Ren Qinglian, Xuanzang's spirit is not bad, but after days of trekking in the desert, his body is very tired.

Naturally, the crowd had no opinion, and the monkey carved out a clearing in the waist-deep weeds.

Sha Wujing helped Xuanzang off the horse and tied the horse to an ancient tree nearby, where Zhu Gangguan had already found dry food from the burden and distributed it to everyone.

Xuanzang looked at this scene and was very pleased.

However, when his eyes turned to Ren Qinglian, he frowned slightly. I can't help but secretly wonder in my heart: In the end, he is a child of a rich family, who is tired and lazy!

Ren Qinglian didn't care at all, she played with a skinned rabbit alone, grilled it with real fire, and took out some bottles and cans from time to time and sprinkled them on it.

These bottles and cans are the condiments he bought from the family in Gao Laozhuang, and he put them in the Qiankun ring, along the way, not to mention anything else, this barbecue skill has been exercised.

Over there, the pig just smelled the tempting smell of rabbit meat, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

When Ren Qinglian saw it, she smiled and said, "Do you want to taste it?"

As soon as the words fell, Xuanzang looked at him with some blame.

Ren Qinglian didn't care either, and said with a smile: "The wine and meat have passed through the intestines, and the Buddha is sitting in his heart." "But I was thinking in my heart, that Sha Wujing was still eating people in the quicksand river before, if it wasn't for Xuanzang who met this time, I'm afraid that someone would be eaten raw by him again. Now that the three monkeys have switched to vegetarian food, they have made him look like a bad person.

Xuanzang didn't think much about it, reading Ren Qinglian's words, and sighed slightly, this Ren layman has a lot of Buddha roots, but it is still a red dust, it seems that if you want to let the other party convert to my Buddha, there is still a long way to go!

Ren Qinglian is actually not particular about eating, but he is also unwilling to follow Xuanzang as an ascetic, not to mention, he seems to be exercising his barbecue skills without doing his job, but in fact, he is also improving his control over his true qi.

The most direct manifestation of this improvement in the control of true qi is that when he casts the "Floating Shadow", the amount of true qi he needs to consume is less than half of the original.

Suddenly, in the silence, a soft piano sound poured into his ears like gurgling water.

At the same time, the three monkeys also heard the sound of the piano and looked into the depths of the dense forest in the distance.

The sound of the piano is like silk, telling of infinite emptiness, echoing through the treetops and forests with the gentle night breeze.

"There is a kind of rhyme in this piano sound that sees through the red dust, and the Buddhism of Xiniu Hezhou is prosperous, and it really deserves its name!" Ren Qinglian couldn't help but mutter.

The monkey said: "In this barren mountain and wild mountains, the owner of the qin sound is only afraid that it is a monster!"

"Monsters?" Xuanzang, who was still reciting Buddhist scriptures just now, suddenly woke up, "Wukong, are the monsters coming......?"

After speaking, he saw Ren Qinglian looking at him with a smile on her face.

Zhu Gangguan shook his head secretly on the side, the performance of this golden cicada had already disappointed him on the road, and the scene in front of him was not surprising.

Na Sha Wujing was a good apprentice who was empathetic, and stepped forward to comfort: "Master, don't panic, there are senior brothers and second senior brothers, even if there are really monsters coming, I can't hurt you!"

Ren Qinglian said with a smile: "It's a piano sound, the Great Sage said that the owner of that sound is a monster, but I think it's very likely to be a Shamen monk who has seen through the red dust." ”

The monkey raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why don't we make a bet and go over and see if it's a human or a demon!"

"What kind of gambling method?" Ren Qinglian became interested.

The monkey smiled: "If my grandson wins, you won't be able to sell barbecue in front of us in the future!"

Zhu Gangguan nodded, although Sha Wujing did not speak, he could see that he agreed with the monkey's bet.

It's no wonder that when they were demons before, they were cold and cold, they didn't distinguish between meat and vegetables, and they were at ease. Now that they have taken refuge in Buddhism, they have to be bound by those rules and regulations, which are nothing originally, after all, they are all monks who can open the valley, and eating dry food is just to make a show in front of Xuanzang.

But Ren Qinglian did not hesitate to roast meat in front of them, and the roast was quite fragrant, which inevitably made them move their index fingers and arouse the cravings in their stomachs.

The so-called out of sight is pure, but this bet of the monkey is reasonable.

Ren Qinglian nodded, it's a big deal to stay away from them next time she barbecues, "What if the Great Sage loses?"

The monkey frowned, Ren Qinglian was so confident, he was a little unsure, and said after a long time: "How about owing you a favor?"

Ren Qinglian smiled, "Why should the Great Sage take it seriously. ”

The monkey shook his head, "Let's go over and have a look!"

As he spoke, he flew in the direction from which the sound of the harp came.

Ren Qinglian followed closely, and the floating light, like a streamer, disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the piano got closer and closer, and the two soon came to a strange rock.

It was a female nun dressed in black, judging from the beautiful nose bridge and relief-like outline, this woman had not escaped into the empty door, but she was also a beautiful woman who had fallen into the country and the city.

She leaned on a piano table, waved her right hand, and her five fingers drew a clear arc in the air, and pressed it again, and the sound of the piano was Miao Miao, and it entered deep space.

The monkey smiled bitterly and said, "Did the layman already count on this scene!"

"It's just that I have some insight into the qin music, and I guessed it, the previous bet, the great sage doesn't have to take it to heart, if I bake food in the future, I will find a place where you can't see it......" Ren Qinglian also transmitted the sound into the secret, and when she said it, she couldn't help laughing.

But the more he did this, the more the monkey could not help but accept defeat, shook his head, and was about to leave, when suddenly a long and high howl came from the distance.

The two of them looked at each other and stopped.

The black-clothed nun among the strange rocks looked up at the west, and soon saw a white figure leaping into the air like a lightning bolt.

"This is the martial arts body method?" The monkey was taken aback, and he could see that the body technique of this white-clothed man was even more clever than the "floating light" he taught to Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian was even more shocked.

Just when the two of them were slightly stunned, the figure had already come to the nun in black.

The black-clothed nun snorted and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Through the faint moonlight, you can vaguely see the figure that jumped forward, it was an equally young and beautiful nun in white.

The nun in white clasped her fists and arched: "On the orders of the patriarch, please go back!"

The black-clothed nun shouted sharply: "Shut up, the ancestor is far away in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, and has not appeared for nearly a thousand years, you dare to lie to me in the name of the ancestor." ”

The nun in white was stunned, and immediately protested: "Master, her old man is about to ......."

The black-clothed nun said coldly, "Kneel!"

The nun in white hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down.

"The first precept of this sect is to disrespect the teacher and the elder to death, do you think you can be arrogant if you learn this mastery?" asked the black-clothed nun in a cold voice.

"Master and nephew don't dare! It's really that the family teacher is approaching Shouyuan, and I am afraid that I won't be able to complete the entrustment of the ancestor, so I ordered the master and nephew to come and invite you back!"

"In this way, what she argued with me back then, I won after all......" The black-clothed nun muttered, and there was no joy or sorrow on her face.

The white-clothed nun kowtowed and said, "Master, her old man has arrived at Yumeng Mountain, and I hope to see my aunt and ......."

"Okay, I see, you go first!" said the nun in black with a wave of her hand.

The nun in white stood up and bowed again, but when she turned around, her eyes suddenly looked at Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian hid behind a boulder five feet away from the two of them, but she could still see clearly that the eyes of the nun, who were in white and shining like lightning.

Surprised, the breeze around him was blowing, and the nun was already standing in front of him.

"Who are you?"

The monkey had already used a stealth method, so the nun did not notice the existence of the monkey, but just shouted coldly at Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian felt the martial arts power in the body of this white-clothed nun that belonged to the peak of refining qi and transforming gods, and was a little surprised that she found herself so keenly and came to her like lightning.

The nun saw that this boy in a blue shirt was very handsome, but she looked at herself nakedly, which made her feel unnatural.

With a cold snort, he took a step forward, shaking his hand, and the sword flashed nine small crystal flowers, and the tip of the sword had cut through Ren Qinglian's clothes.

The sword spilled out like water, and there was an empty cold air on it.

Ren Qinglian secretly wrinkled her eyebrows, Xiniu Hezhou actually had such a powerful martial artist, and listening to the conversation between her and the black-clothed nun just now, this seemed to be a sect, and there were many more powerful martial artists among them.

Thinking about it, he looked over to the nun in black.

The white-clothed nun turned her sword blade, immediately put her sword into the sheath, and said contemptuously: "Hmph, it turned out to be a dumb person!"

But soon, her eyes caught a glimpse of the broken clothes on Ren Qinglian's chest, and there was no trace of blood flowing out, and she couldn't help but sigh.

You must know that as the leader of the younger generation of Cihang Jingzhai, although she did not use her full strength with this sword, the sword trembled out, and the tip of the sword pierced into the opponent's chest more than three inches deep, but the other party did not say a word, so that she thought that the other party was a mute. At this time, she found that there was no blood on Ren Qinglian's chest, which naturally made her stunned, and her face couldn't help but change slightly.
