Chapter 52: The Golden Cicada (II)

"Have you ever heard of the 'Golden Cicada'?"

Zhou Bai's voice was not loud, but it shocked Tang Seng's heart, and the teacup fell to the ground and fell to pieces.

Staring straight at Zhou Bai's left hand taken out of his sleeve, his fist was clenched, and the golden light faintly revealed between his fingers made Tang Seng's uneasiness intensify, and at this moment, he only felt cold all over his body, and subconsciously wanted to get up to avoid it.

However, Zhou Bai had already used his mana to imprison the space around Tang Seng, and before Tang Seng could stand up, he felt the aura surging from all directions and pressed him back to his seat.

opened his mouth, but no sound came out, Tang Seng was shocked, his face was frightened, but he was helpless.

Zhen Yuanzi is a good person, but he is not a pedantic and dull fool, the ancestor of the earth immortals, and the same king of the world, I don't know how many causes and effects have been buried under each title, from ancient times to the present, the ginseng fruit tree does not know how many people coveted and forcible it, and the creatures and lives that died in his hands were by no means under Zhou Bai.

His brows furrowed slightly, although he was a little uncomfortable with Zhou Bai's behavior, he did not show any disgust and resistance, in the past, the golden cicada served tea to him at the Orchid Bon Meeting, and today he also returned Tang Seng a ginseng fruit, which can be regarded as the end of cause and effect, since the cause and effect have been over, then the other party's life and death have nothing to do with him.

His eyes fell on the red gourd on Zhou Bai's waist, Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and sighed lightly, smiling bitterly.

As Zhou Bai slowly opened his palm, everyone's eyes looked at the dark golden light in his palm, the light powder drifted away, and I saw a small cicada chrysalis quietly suspended above Zhou Bai's palm, without the gold powder Buddha light attached to the surface, the dark golden cicada chrysalis fell in everyone's eyes, like a dead thing without movement.

Even Zhen Yuanzi had never seen such a scene, and looked at the golden cicada in Zhou Bai's hand with a surprised expression, and then looked at Tang Seng who was also frightened.

How can there be two golden cicadas in the world?

As early as the golden cicada in this life, that is, the Tang Seng in front of him, when he was born, he had already determined the other party's itself.

Now Zhou Bai actually took out a golden cicada in his hand, whether it was the breath or the body, it was exactly the same as the person who served tea with him at the Orchid Bon Fair five hundred years ago.

And Tang Seng saw the golden cicada at the moment, the panic in his heart had faded away for some reason, although the cicada chrysalis in Zhou Bai's hand did not move, but he still inexplicably felt that the golden cicada was not dead, and the inexplicable affinity made him want to reach out and touch the cicada chrysalis in Zhou Bai's palm, but there was a faint resistance that kept telling him that if he woke up this thing, he would face extreme danger.

After hesitating for a moment, Tang Seng's eyes suddenly exuded a quintessential Buddha light 'swastika' word, 'swastika' word flowed, and Tang Seng, who was sitting cross-legged, seemed to have a Buddha phantom behind him, his demeanor was majestic and solemn, and the supreme Buddha wheel was above his head.

If it was an ordinary Dharma phase talisman, Zhou Bai naturally didn't care about it, but this Buddha looked around as if he had self-awareness, and his burning gaze fell on Zhou Bai and Hongyu.

His expression moved slightly, although Zhou Bai had never seen this Buddha, he also faintly guessed the identity of the other party, glanced at Hongyu, the two of them stood up and bowed their heads, and saluted: "I have seen Senior Brother Duobao." ”

Brother Duobao.... Where in the world are there many treasures, some are just like that!

A long sigh echoed in his ears, and the Buddha shook his head slowly, but did not answer.

All laws are like this, and all appearances are empty.

A wisp of fresh wind outside the window blew away the majestic Buddha shadow, and also woke up Tang Seng in a trance.

Perhaps it was the Dharma body just now that evoked his tenth life of Dharma practice, and now Tang Seng is still mortal in the flesh, but there is a slight difference.

The pupils as clear as a child have broken nine petals at some point, like a lotus wrap, and like an endless starry sky.

The image of the double pupil couldn't help but remind Zhou Bai of the young monk who deceived the way of heaven in the world of Liaozhai.

The corners of his mouth hooked up a smile, Zhou Bai looked down at the golden cicada in his palm, and said with a smile: "Do you know what its name is?" Zhou Bai didn't look up, but Tang Seng understood that this sentence was said to him.

His lips moved slightly, Tang Seng pursed his lips and shook his head silently.

Does he know, or does he not want to say it? Zhou Bai glanced at Tang Seng and said with a smile: "His name is Jiang Liu'er." ”

When the words fell, Tang Seng's face turned pale, and at the same time as Zhou Bai spoke, he felt as if he had lost something, and his inner breath was surging, and he couldn't know what he was missing even if he meditated hard.

Only Zhou Bai's Qi Hope Technique can clearly see that the luck of the Buddha Gate, which was originally blocked by the Lingbao robe, was actually divided in half and fell on the golden cicada in Zhou Bai's hand.

'Click~' A soft sound sounded in the dead side hall, Zhen Yuanzi looked down, and saw that the back of the golden cicada in Zhou Bai's hand cracked a thin slit, and at the same time as the crack of 'Ka Ka Ka~' was generated, it continued to spread.

In the blink of an eye, a golden cicada emerged from the chrysalis, its wings trembled, and the roaring aura gathered from the surrounding mountains and forests, like silk threads, all into its mouthparts.

'Click~' The golden cicada turned his body, and after his gaze stayed on the surroundings and Hongyu for a few breaths, he landed on Tang Seng.

The broken pupils were like stars, which caused the golden cicada to be overjoyed, and with the wings that gradually grew, the golden cicada suddenly crashed into the strange-looking Tang Seng.

couldn't figure out why the golden cicada who was close to him suddenly attacked him, and before Tang Seng could react, he was hit by the golden cicada in the center of his eyebrows.

The golden light flashed, and Tang Seng, who was hit by the golden cicada into the Yin Hall, cried out in pain and fell down with his forehead.

The golden cicada that flew upside down was already put away by Zhou Bai before it landed, and it was put back into the empty space.

As if hearing the commotion outside, Zhou Bai looked up, but saw a few people approaching at the threshold, so he turned back to his seat and said indifferently: "Don't pretend, if you don't get up, I will make you never get up." ”

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and sighed bitterly, and cooked tea in a clean cup.

Tang Seng, who should have fallen down with his forehead, dusted off the water stains on his body as if nothing happened, took out a teacup on the table in front of Zhen Yuanzi, and said indifferently: "Zhou Bai Daoyou, I haven't seen you for a long time." ”

His eyes fell on Hongyu, and Tang Seng bowed his head and said: "Hongyu girl, a sword in the past, the poor monk remembers it in his heart." His face was indifferent, his temperament was warm, and he didn't look like he was being controlled by Zhou Bai.

Zhou Bai calmly glanced at the three people who came over, and said softly, "I can easily resurrect you from nothingness, and I can also wipe you out at will, I just hope that you can live a little longer, complete the westward journey, and get out of my control." ”

That way, I can kill you again.

Hiding the killing intent in his eyes, the last words were no longer necessary, he knew that Jin Cicada understood what he meant.

"Master, Brother Monkey is clamoring to come, my old pig really can't stop it. Zhu Bajie, who had the loudest voice, began to shout before he walked in.

Mu Zha's heart behind him moved slightly, and he carefully observed Tang Seng, and was relieved to see that he was safe and sound.

Sun Wukong grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear, and the other party screamed in pain, before letting go and said, "You pig's head, obviously you were found out by me stealing food, and you dared to flee here to spread rumors." ”

Tang Seng glared fiercely at the two who were about to quarrel again, and leaned over to Zhen Yuanzi and Zhou Bai and said: "The inferior disciple was born in the wilderness, he doesn't know how to be polite, he collided with two Taoist friends, and he looked at Haihan. ”

Zhen Yuanzi laughed, raised his palm to hold Tang Seng up, and said with a smile: "It's okay." Without any movement from him, three short cases appeared in the void, with melons, fruits and delicacies, and a jasper disc in between, covered with silk handkerchiefs, and the faintly revealed aura of life caused the three of them to inhale fiercely.

Zhu Bajie's Adam's apple rolled, and after looking left and right, he quietly reached out to uncover the silk handkerchief in front of him, but was slapped on the back of his hand by a furry palm.

'Hiss~' Zhu Bajie hurriedly withdrew his hand, and looked at Sun Wukong with dissatisfaction and grievance.

Sun Wukong coughed lightly, hugged his fists to Zhen Yuanzi and said, "Thank you, the owner." Zhu Bajie and Mu Zha also saluted.

Looking at the three gobbling up, Tang Seng smiled bitterly, handed Zhen Yuanzi an apologetic look, reached out and took the tea handed over, and drank it shallowly.

As mentioned earlier, this spiritual tea is also an innate thing, and it is even more rare because of the tea wood retreat, Tang Seng drank it and felt the aura in his body churning.

Different from Tang Seng, there is no prohibition set by the Buddha in his mind, and the majestic aura enters from the mouth, washes the meridians, and finally condenses the sea of knowledge, turning into a round and unsullied pale golden pill.

As soon as his mind moved, Tang Seng smashed the relics of Buddhism and Taoism into pieces, and the blue and white Xuan Qi of the Daomen Inner Dan dissolved in the sea of knowledge and disappeared, and the only remaining Buddhist relics floated in the sea of knowledge in an extremely irregular shape.

As his realm climbed, Mu Zha's expression became more and more surprised, Tang Seng was reincarnated, just for the sake of this time the Dharma was transmitted eastward, he should have been blocked by the Buddha and could not step into the door of cultivation, why did he break through from an ordinary person with a physical body to the realm of return after drinking a cup of spiritual tea?

Could it be that Zhou Bai came forward this time in order to unlock the ban set by the Buddha and prevent Tang Seng from traveling west to learn scriptures in mortal bodies, so as to reduce the merits of the heavenly path after the consummation of the westward journey?

The more he thought about it, the more he felt like this, Mu Zha secretly said in his heart, he would have to send a message to the Bodhisattva in the hall immediately, otherwise when the master consolidates his cultivation and even breaks through to the immortal level, then 'ascetic Tianzhu, Buddhism will spread eastward' will become a joke of Buddhism.

You must know that ninety-nine eighty-one is difficult, and most of the monsters under it are true immortals and Xuan Immortals, once Tang Seng cultivates to the realm of immortals, then the role of calamity along the way is not so great.

Sun Wukong also felt something strange, different from Mu Zha, although he didn't know that Tang Seng's soul had already been banned, he could find a trace of disobedience with his perception.

The golden light in his eyes was extinguished, and under the scanning of the divine power of the fiery eyes, the Tang Seng in front of him was the previous Tang Seng, and even the true appearance of the golden cicada hidden in the sea of knowledge was glimpsed by him.

Fortunately, Tang Seng's cultivation still failed to break through the immortal level in the end, and Zhen Yuanzi had already put away the tea set and had no intention of making another cup.

Seeing Tang Seng's slightly open eyes, the three of Sun Wukong finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for the broken pupils caused by the golden cicada's true appearance, Tang Seng's aura did not change in any way.

A touch of sunset rose outside the window, and the afterglow of the sunset also fell on Zhou Bai and Hongyu through the window, Zhen Yuanzi took a sip of the tea that had already been cold before getting up, Tang Seng smiled, and left with the three disciples beside him.

With a wry smile on his face, the teacup in Zhen Yuanzi's hand turned into light powder and dissipated, and the table in front of the two of them disappeared without a trace.

"Although I heard that you are going to take action for the interception of the sect, but you don't want to be a fellow Daoist, your courage is too big, right?" Zhen Yuanzi sighed, "If you have the slightest friendship with you, he can seem to ignore the golden cicada in your hand, but the two saints in the West are different, they are meticulous and extreme, you are not afraid of being discovered by them to be abnormal when you do it to the people who travel west?"

Zhou Bai smiled when he heard this, and asked rhetorically, "Has Brother Dao discovered the abnormality?"

Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and sighed lightly, and said with a wry smile: "If I can find something unusual, I will definitely stop it." Until now, he didn't know why there were two identical golden cicadas in the world, and what made him even more puzzling was that this golden cicada born from 'snatching away' could perfectly replace the original Tang Seng without revealing the slightest flaw.

Zhou Bai said faintly: "The profoundness of this person's city is beyond your imagination, and I am very relieved to call him out." ”

Life and death are all in one mind.

Since Zhou Bai achieved the holy position in the Chaos Bead, his perception of the Returning Void Space has become deeper and deeper, if the Returning Void Space in the Chaos Bead is the management system of the Chaos Bead, then he has completely controlled all the authority of the Chaos Bead.

You must know that this chaotic world, which is independent of the heavens, is no different from the desolate world in terms of rank alone, and the golden cicada that was returned to the indelible at the beginning was also re-summoned by him with his existing authority.

If the original golden cicada was Tang Seng's mirror doppelganger in the Xiaoqian world, then now the golden cicada summoned from the Chaos Bead is no different from the golden cicada in the wilderness, which is also the reason why Zhou Bai dared to summon him to split half of the luck of the Buddhism.

Zhen Yuanzi hesitated: "I see that he is quite resentful of you, what if he leaks this matter to the Buddhist Sect?"

A killing intent was hidden in the depths of Zhou Bai's eyes, and he sneered: "Since I can summon him out, I naturally have a way to control him." ”

Every world will reject outsiders, and even before Zhou Bai was granted the right to return, he was more or less ostracized by the Heavenly Dao in every world.

As the higher the level of the world, the more obvious this rejection becomes, and if it weren't for the fact that he had the Chaos Bead and became the 'escaped one' under the Great Dao, he would have been wiped out by the Zixiao God Thunder a long time ago.

And the same is true of the golden cicada, if it weren't for Zhou Bai giving him a trace of 'variable' aura, he would not have been able to be reborn and set foot in the general trend of the Heavenly Dao.

This trace of breath gave him a chance, if he successfully completed his westward journey, he would accept the reward of the Heavenly Dao and wash himself with the merits of the Heavenly Dao, if he betrayed Zhou Bai in private, Zhou Bai would also feel the senses, and directly use this breath to withdraw the golden cicada to the Chaos Bead.

Jin Chan is a smart person, and he naturally understands the way to break the game, that is, when he accepts the merits of the Heavenly Dao and whitewashes his own existence, he will tear his face with Zhou Bai.

Before that, he was the person who learned the scriptures of this world, Tang Sanzang.
