Chapter 132: The Struggle for Merit

South China Sea, Putuo Mountains.

As soon as the monkey told the Bodhisattva about the demon encounter in the quicksand river, he heard the Bodhisattva laugh and scold: "You monkey head must be reckless again, and you refuse to tell the monster what the monk said!"

"I can't figure out the details of what happened in the water, but Wu Neng found the monster's nest and fought a draw with him, thinking that he had never said anything about learning from the scriptures. The monkey sneered.

"The monster in the quicksand river was originally the general of the Heavenly Palace, and it was also the good believer I persuaded to teach him to protect the people who learned the scriptures. If you are willing to say that you are a person who learns scriptures from the east, he will not argue with you, but will be obedient. Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and smiled.

The monkey scratched his ears and said helplessly: "That monster is now cowardly and refuses to go ashore, only lurking in the water, how can he be obedient? What's more, now that Ren Jushi has been trapped in the quicksand river for a night, he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead, Master, he is worried and afraid, and he is trapped in front of this weak river!"

Bodhisattva heard the word "Ren Jushi", his brows wrinkled unconsciously, the last time he let the little white dragon stop him, but it was in vain, not long ago, the king of the earth came from the Bodhisattva, saying that this person turned out to have something to do with the Wu clan. Killing and not being able to kill, and not being able to stop it, is really a headache.

"Bodhisattva, saving people is like fighting fire, please give my grandson an idea, and subdue that monster as soon as possible. Seeing the Bodhisattva's pensive face, the monkey couldn't help but remind.

Guanyin Bodhisattva came back to his senses at this time, called Hui'an to his side, took out a red gourd from his sleeve, and instructed: "You can take this gourd with you, go to the water surface of the quicksand river with Wukong, just call 'Wujing', and he will come out......"

At the same time, the voice was secretly reminded: "Remember, you must first lead him to Tang Seng, and then wear his nine skeletons in one place, according to the nine palace layouts, and put this gourd in it, which is a Dharma boat, and cross Tang Seng across the quicksand river boundary, this is a great achievement." ”

When Hui'an heard this, he was overjoyed.

He was the second son of King Tota Li, after the famous family, very wise, in the early years with Fuxian Zhenren practiced Taoism, and later Lao Tzu turned Hu into Buddha, Fuxian and others changed to Buddhism, he also abandoned the Tao into the Buddha, worshiped Guanyin Bodhisattva to continue to practice.

It's just that for so many years, his cultivation has been trapped in the Arhat realm, and the eldest brother Jin Zha, who was equal to his strength back then, had already broken through to the Bodhisattva realm and was named the "Junzha Liming King Bodhisattva", serving the Buddha and being its front protector.

In this case, the Bodhisattva gave him a merit, wouldn't it be a carbon gift in the snow, so that he saw the hope of a breakthrough, how not happy.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to hold the gourd out of the Chaoyin Cave and go to the quicksand river.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the backs of these two people leaving, and thought of the entourage mentioned by the monkey just now, and pinched his fingers with some anxiety, but his face turned dark.

She knew that there was nothing to do with Ren Qinglian, so the object of this calculation was only Sha Wujing, but this calculation was the discovery of the anger, this curtain general had just entered the Xuanzang Sect, and what made her even more angry was that the opportunity she arranged for Hui'an had been taken away by Zhu Gangguan.

......

By the quicksand river, the pig was busy for half an hour, and finally built a raft out of shrubs and leaves.

"Haha, Senior Brother Sha, now it depends on the power of your strange treasure!" laughed, and the smug Zhu Gangguan said to Sha Wujing.

Sha Wujing took off the nine skull ornaments hanging around his neck, and said with some doubts: "What if it is unstable and falls down halfway?"

Ren Qinglian said with a smile: "Just use the rope to form these skeletons into a nine-palace array, and place the raft made by the second senior brother in it, it will be fine, and there will be a few of us around the mage later, even if there is a mistake, we can help in time to ensure that nothing goes wrong." ”

"This is easy!" Zhu Gangguan's eyes lit up, he practiced the Xuanmen Rectification Law in his previous life, and he was a little involved in the formation, and it was not difficult to form a simple Nine Palace Array.

Soon, the three of them used the nine heads to form an extremely shallow nine-palace formation around the raft.

Strands of cold qi circulated on these nine skeletons, Ren Qinglian's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but wonder: "Is it because the masters of these nine skeletons are not shallow in front of them, and their grievances will not disperse after death, and they will be supported by the yin wind, so that they can float on the quicksand river!?"

This made him think of Xuanzang's previous nine reincarnations, although they were all mortal fetuses, but after all, they were the reincarnation of the golden cicada, and the Tao was so high that it was obviously not comparable to ordinary people who learned scriptures.

But he didn't know that what he guessed was eight or nine and ten.

These nine skeletons are indeed the bones left by the reincarnation of the ninth generation of Xuanzang in front of him, Sha Wujing has eaten countless people in this river, but these nine heads are easy to be ordinary people because they are contaminated with the supreme path of the soul breath of the golden cicada, and they die in vain in the quicksand river, and the resentment is condensed, and it has become a ghost dao magic weapon.

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Hui'an to use the gourd to form a Dharma boat with these nine heads, so that Xuanzang could cross the river in one aspect, and the other aspect was to take into account the resentment in using this Dharma boat to cross the skeleton.

Of course, the merits that can be obtained by crossing these grievances are limited after all, so the Bodhisattva repeatedly told Hui'an to guide Sha Wujing to take refuge in Tang Seng and personally arrange the crossing of the river.

These are the merits that Hui'an needs.

However, now it is cheaper Zhu Gangguana, Ren Qinglian has not realized the merits contained in it, although Sha Wujing vaguely understands something, but he has just entered Xuanzang's door, so naturally it is not good to compete with his senior brother for the limelight, just pretending not to know, and helping Xuanzang on the raft.

......

Hui'an and the others walked very fast, and from a distance, they saw the raft floating on the quicksand river, and the skulls arranged around the raft in the shape of nine palaces.

When the monkey saw Ren Qinglian, he couldn't help laughing and said, "It's still Ren Jushi who has a way, not only subdued that monster, but also thought of such a way to cross the river!"

But he didn't notice the hideousness that flashed in Hui An's eyes beside him.

......

On the raft, Xuanzang recited the Sutra of the Past and crossed the souls of these poor people.

But I didn't know that this scene just confirmed the Buddha's saying, "A thought transcends life, and crosses people by themselves." This sentence.

Soon, the three of them reached the West Bank without danger.

Before the pig could put away the raft, he saw that the nine skeletons had turned into nine yin winds, and they were gone.

At the same time, Sha Wujing had already seen Hui'an Walker and the monkey, and said with a smile: "It's Senior Brother who has come back, and he also brought the Wooden Fork Walker back!"

Ren Qinglian and the others looked up, and sure enough, they saw a monkey and a white-clothed walker pressing their heads on the clouds and walking this way.

"Ren Jushi, if you come back earlier, you will have to run to the South China Sea without my old grandson!" the monkey grinned.

When Hui'an heard this, his face turned dark, and he hid the red gourd given by the Bodhisattva without a trace, but he hated the Ren monk mentioned in the monkey's mouth to the bone - the first hatred of cultivation is the bad guy chance, which is an undying hatred.
