Chapter Eighty-Six: After the Quicksand, the Four Saints Gather
"Wukong, is there a way to take out the skull of the river god intact?" At this time, Tang and Song had to turn to Sun Wukong for help.
"What's so difficult about this?" Sun Wukong beckoned, and rolled the body of the river god from the river to the shore, only blowing lightly, and a huge demonic qi gushed out from the mouth, quietly enveloping the whole body of the river god, and in the blink of an eye, the body of the river god was corroded and weathered, turned into ashes, and dissipated as soon as the wind blew, leaving only an intact skull.
"Elder, what's the use of asking for this bad thing?" Zhu Bajie stepped forward and asked with a puzzled expression.
"Useful for itself. Tang Song smiled mysteriously, threw his skull into the river, and sure enough, he saw quietly floating on the surface of the river, without the slightest intention of sinking.
Tang Song hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, worthy of being the river god in the quicksand river, and his body could really resist the laws in the quicksand river.
"Now there are nine. Tang Song looked at Sha Wujing and said with a smile, now everything is ready, only the east wind is owed!
How do you know that Sha Wujing beckoned his hand and rolled the skull into his hand, but he still shook his head and frowned: "There is no formation eye." ”
"Array eyes?" Tang Song looked puzzled.
"It's just that placing these nine skulls in the position of the nine palaces is far from enough to reach the formation, and you still need to find another thing to make the formation eye before you can activate the formation, and the magic boat can walk on the water. Sun Wukong explained.
Tang and Song suddenly realized, and suddenly remembered that in the original work, in addition to pointing out the method of crossing the river, Guanyin also sent Mu Zha to bring a gourd, saying that placing the gourd in the middle is a magic boat, obviously that gourd is the eye of the Nine Palaces Array.
But the key problem is that he is not a real learner, so it is impossible for Guanyin to send someone to send a gourd this time, and it seems that this problem has to be solved by himself.
But speaking of gourds -
Tang Song looked aside, and suddenly saw a huge gourd more than one person tall lying quietly on the bank, it was the magic weapon of the river god, I love Luo with the same high imitation.
Tang Song: "......"
Tang Song sighed with emotion, and finally came down for a trip, not only to send people to the head, but even to take the initiative to prepare for you, what a selfless spirit this is?! What a great kindness this is?! Tang Song decided that the next moving journey to the west will definitely include the river god as a candidate.
"Wukong, what do you think of this gourd?" Tang Song hurriedly asked.
Sun Wukong nodded and said, "This magic weapon was conceived by the river god from the quicksand river, but it is very suitable." ”
Tang Song sighed, he is indeed a good person! River God, you can go with confidence! The poor monk will definitely make reasonable use of your inheritance, which was not left voluntarily.
Sha Wujing put the gourd in the middle, and placed the nine skulls one by one according to the position of the nine palaces, and gently pressed his hands on the gourd, and the mana quietly ran between the nine palace formations.
"It's done. Sha Wujing wiped the beads of sweat from his forehead and looked relieved.
"With this Dharma boat, it will not be a problem to cross this quicksand river this time!" Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing when he saw this, and hurriedly pushed the Dharma boat into the river, and sure enough, he saw that the Dharma boat was floating safely on the water, and it couldn't be shaken even if the waves rolled.
Tang Song slowly boarded the Dharma boat, feeling like it was on the shore, not feeling any fluctuations at all, Sha Wujing operated the mana, and the boat was like an arrow off the string, separating a waterline and sailing towards the opposite shore on the waves.
After all, the French boat is not an ordinary wooden boat, the speed is extremely fast, and only a trace of black shadow can be seen quietly flashing on the river, Tang Song felt that it was not long before he had reached the other side, Tang Song slowly got off the boat, and just about to admire, he saw that the French boat was slowly sinking underwater, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
"There's an auto-destruct program for this thing?"
Tang Song regretted for a while, no matter how you say it, the gourd is also the natal magic weapon of the river god, which can load the water of the quicksand river and the water of the Yellow River, and the white jade bowl of the Yellow River Shuibo has the same effect, and he also wanted to put it away and leave it to Sha Wujing as a treasure to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but he didn't expect it to suddenly sink to the bottom.
"How can the treasure of the water god be used by others, it must have been taken away by the Ministry of Water in the sky, and the elders don't have to worry. Seeing Tang Song's expression, Zhu Bajie saw it in his eyes and hurriedly whispered comfort.
Tang Song nodded helplessly, and knew in his heart that although there were countless treasures on the way west, there were very few that could fall into his hands, and he didn't see that in the original book, Sun Wukong also took a few treasures from the monsters, and in the end he was not forcibly taken back by the power of heaven?
In fact, Journey to the West embodies that sentence very well all the way - what I give you is yours, what I don't give you, you can't rob it! In fact, it is essentially no different from the Legend of Shushan Swordsman, there seem to be a lot of treasures, but after counting them, I finally found that they are actually already mastered, and there is nothing to do with you at all.
Just as he sighed, suddenly there was a heat in his arms, Tang Song hurriedly took out the merit orb, and a merit treasure light fell from the sky, slowly injecting into the orb, and suddenly the gold in the orb added a few points.
The merit came, and it was announced that the catastrophe of the quicksand river had officially passed.
......
West Heaven Great Thunder Sound Temple.
On this day, Rulai sat in the center, surrounded by 500 Arhats and 3,000 Buddhas, spitting lotus flowers and reciting the Buddha, looking at the Guanyin Bodhisattva on the side, and slowly asked: "Where is the person who took the scriptures now?"
Guanyin pinched his fingers and counted, bowed down for a moment and said, "I have already crossed the quicksand river." ”
Rulai pondered for a moment, and sighed: "I look at the red dust of the person who learned the scriptures, and the Zen heart is not stable, this time you still need to wait for the next mortal to try him." ”
Guanyin was stunned for a moment, but immediately knew the meaning of Rulai, immediately received the order to go down, found Fuxian and Manjushri two Bodhisattvas, and personally went to Nali Mountain to invite the old mother of Li Mountain, although the old mother of Li Mountain is very high, but it is the best lively, I heard that I also gladly agreed, so the four great powers gathered in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea to discuss this matter.
The fairy aura was swirling, the Qingyun was shrouded, and the Bodhisattva of Fuxian sat aside, and slowly said: "I see that the heart of the person who has learned the scriptures has not been removed, so it is better for me and the other four to become young women to try him, so as to complete the assignment of my Buddha." ”
"Just what I wanted. ”
Guanyin and Manjushri nodded one after another, and then the three of them looked at the old mother of Li Shan who was sitting in the center, and the old mother of Li Shan smiled slightly and said, "The old body has no opinion. ”
"But that Monkey King has fiery eyes, and we have to be careful. Fuxian Bodhisattva said solemnly.
"With the eyes of that splashing monkey, how can they see through our real body? Just cover up a piece or two of auspiciousness, so as not to be carelessly seen through by the monkey's hopeful technique, and there will be no major problems. Manjushri smiled.
"Don't be careless, I have a treasure here to restrain his eyes, but this plan is foolproof. Guanyin Bodhisattva chuckled lightly and took out a collar from his bosom, on which were tied three purple and gold bells, shining with treasure light and eye-catching.
Guanyin Bodhisattva shook it gently, and there was a crisp sound of bells, "This is the purple gold bell, which is the treasure that Lao Jun lost to me in a bet back then, and the smoke and sand happened to restrain the fiery eyes of the monkey." ”
"Wonderful, I didn't expect the Bodhisattva to have such a treasure, it seems that this trip is worry-free. Fuxian Bodhisattva stroked his palm and smiled.
Four divine lights flashed at the same time, and in the blink of an eye, they turned into four beauties with national beauty and fragrance, the first one was a middle-aged beauty, with a graceful demeanor, which can be described as a and still charming.
The woman coughed lightly and said with a smile: "This time, I will be the mother of the three of you." ”
The next three beauties covered their mouths and chuckled, and they all called out coquettishly: "Obey the mother." "For a while, the soft voice is soft, and the spring is full of fragrant gardens.
"That's very good, this time the four of us will go to the lower realm and try the monk. The woman flicked the sleeves of her robe, and the light flickered, and the four of them disappeared in an instant.
