Chapter Twenty-Five: Plotting the Golden Hoop
Chapter 25 Planning the Golden Hoop
A trickle of cold veins pierces through the clouds, and the clear waves reflect the red sun.
Although Zhou Bai didn't know how to deduce the heavenly machine, he hoped for the method of qi, and the two of them went against the wind, all the way to the east, I don't know how many mountains and rivers they crossed, and a cold air pulsed from the sky in front of them, Zhou Bai's expression moved, and he and Ao Lie fell in front of a cold pool.
Now it is still the middle of summer, the low shrubs next to the cold pool have been covered with a layer of hoarfrost, Zhou Bai raised his eyes to look, only to see the surrounding mountains are thousands of feet high, the cliffs are rugged, there is only a steep path between the cliffs in the stone wall winding and looming, Zhou Bai can't help but praise: "What a dangerous place." ”
Ao Lie looked around and couldn't help frowning: "Will the people who go west that Brother Dao said really pass through here?"
Zhou Bai pointed to the east, Ao Lie looked along Zhou Bai's fingers, and the glow outside the mountains covered his eyes, and only an extremely ethereal coercion came from there. "Do you know what that place is?"
Ao Lie shook his head, although he is the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, he rarely travels, what the third prince needs is to live his life in a sloppy manner, 'ignorant, lazy and stubborn' is his tutor, and it is also what the Dragon King of the West Sea wants him to do.
After all...... The successor to the throne of the Dragon King will only be Prince Moang, not the Third Prince of Ao Lie.
Zhou Bai said softly: "There is the Five Elements Mountain, and the one suppressed under the mountain is the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace more than a hundred years ago. Seeing the look of surprise on Ao Lie's face, Zhou Bai smiled and said: "From the Five Elements Mountain, there is only this mountain road, and people traveling west can only pass through here. ”
Ao Lie understood Zhou Bai's words, his eyes flashed, he hesitated for a moment, and asked, "If you can borrow the hand of the Monkey King, can you kill the nine-headed insect." ”
Zhou Bai shook his head and said with a smile: "He alone can't defeat the nine-headed worm." ”
"You haven't seen the nine-headed worm, how do you know that you can't beat it!" Ao Lie heard this, and said angrily: "That's the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and the 100,000 Heavenly Soldiers and Zhou Tian Immortal God have nothing to do with him, how can they not defeat a demon!"
Zhou Bai did not explain, but continued: "You have two choices, one is to devote yourself to Buddhism, and wait until the end of the westward journey to obtain the merits of the general trend, maybe you can suppress the hydra with the help of Buddhism. Second, obtain the essence of the golden cicada, achieve the consummation of the golden immortal, and slaughter it with your own hands. ”
Two choices, one good and one evil, are very easy to choose, as long as you stay here for hundreds of years, and then carry a monk to the Great Lei Yin Temple, you can wash away your sins and gain merit.
If there had not been any 'wife-snatching' and 'poisoning', Ao Lie would naturally choose this flat avenue, but it is a pity that although he looks calm now, his hatred for the nine-headed insect has actually reached its peak.
A look of struggle flashed in his eyes, and Ao Lie said in a deep voice: "I choose to devote myself to Buddhism. ”
A smile flashed in Zhou Bai's eyes, and he shook his head and said: "If I don't make a move, the Buddhism Sect will send someone to persuade you to surrender, but it's a pity that I have already rescued you, do you think the Buddhism Sect will believe a person who has been rescued by the Interception Sect?" The smile in Zhou Bai's eyes fell on Ao Lie's eyes, full of irony.
A punch came, and Ao Lie shot out with hatred.
However, even if he tried his best, it was difficult to touch Zhou Bai, Zhou Bai laughed, and turned into smoke in front of Ao Lie's eyes, leaving only a sound through the mountain stream.
"Friends of Puhang Dao, we will meet again. ”
As soon as the words fell, I saw a beam of Buddha light falling into the mountain stream, and the Buddha light unfolded like a beautiful fan, but it was a pity that a red sword mark on the fan surface destroyed the ink on the fan surface.
A light sigh came from in front of him, Ao Lie looked up, and saw a solemn woman appear on the boulder at some point, Ao Lie's face changed, and he hurriedly leaned over and saluted: "Xiaolong Ao Lie has seen Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”
Guanyin is a little bit of a hand, the Buddha light in front of him all converges, and the fan surface is also closed, changing into a paper fan, which is included in the sleeve.
"Ao Lie, you are the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, disobedient to the monarch's father, rebelled against the water tribe, and even set fire to the pearl in the palace, the Jade Emperor was furious and had already ordered you to be killed. Guanyin looked at Ao Lie with a calm face and asked, "Are you guilty?"
Ao Lie's face was bitter, and he knelt down on his knees and said, "Master Guanyin, Xiaolong is guilty!"
Guanyin nodded, his eyes showed a look of satisfaction, and his tone softened a little, "My Buddha is merciful, and the poor monk doesn't want to see you die, so he specially pleaded with the Jade Emperor and asked you down." ”
"Capital sins are forgiven, but living sins are forgiven. Guanyin closed his eyes slightly, and a pale golden hoop appeared out of thin air in his hand, and said softly: "You need to carry a monk on your back in four hundred years, go west to the Great Lei Yin Temple, and wait until your merits are complete, so that you can get rid of your free body and earn the supreme Buddha fruit." ”
Ao Lie showed a resolute look on his face, leaned over and took the golden hoop in Guanyin's hand, put it on his head, and said in a deep voice: "Thank you Master Guanyin." ”
Guanyin said: "This stream is deep and steep and wide, the water is completely clear, just as you cultivate the mirror of the mind, you will wait for the arrival of the monks here, and you must not do evil." ”
As he spoke, Guanyin's figure gradually blurred, and when the words fell, he still turned into a drop of dew and fell into the cold pool.
Seeing Guanyin leave, Ao Lie's eyes showed a trace of bitter tears, and it was only now that he realized that everyone in the world was calculating him.
In order to get married, he wanted to marry the Princess of All Saints, whom he had never met, and on the wedding night, the Princess of All Saints eloped with the demon cultivator Hydra, which gave him a strange poison that confused his mind.
thought that his father would stand up for him, but he didn't want to be the first to raise a butcher's knife against him, so he first petitioned the heavenly court to accuse him of disobedience, and even ordered the subordinates of the Shui tribe to detain him.
And Zhou Bai and Guanyin Dashi ....... With a long sigh, Ao Lie turned into a jade dragon and burrowed into the depths of the cold pool, opening a simple cave in the stone wall at the bottom of the water.
Lying prone on the cold stone, the stone wall opened up by his supernatural powers was as smooth as a mirror, reflecting his huge dragon head and the golden hoop that grew as he grew bigger.
'Whew!' A roar shook for hundreds of miles, and the calm water surface set off huge waves, slapping on the mountain with a loud bang, and in an instant the birds were scattered, and the beasts knelt down.
It seems to hear a roar in the distance, at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, a furry palm wiped off the fallen leaves piled up at the corner of the mountain, revealing the cheeks of a hairy face Lei Gongzui, two golden lights appeared and disappeared in his eyes, Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Another neighbor is coming, I just don't know if it's delicious or not." ”
Hantan Stone Cave,
Ao Lie used sharp claws to break the golden hoop on his head, but found that this thing seemed to have grown into flesh and blood, and his body had been integrated, and the violent stinging pain shook in the sea of consciousness, and the more pain he wrought, the more powerful he broke the golden hoop, but this was in exchange for greater pain.
Until the spiritual power of his whole body was exhausted, and he could not even maintain his body, he had already fallen into the pile of rubble, losing consciousness and consciousness.
I don't know how long it has been, maybe a thousand years or maybe 10,000 years, only in the coma there is no real troubles and hatred, in the endless darkness and dead silence, Ao Lie seems to see the birth and destruction of one world after another, opening up the endless chaos and vast void before the flood.
When he was lost in the meaning of the Tao, a familiar voice suddenly sounded in his ears.
"Wake up.... Wake up...."
Ao Lie suddenly woke up, only to find that he was still in the stone cave, and the cold sweat on his forehead and the weak spirit told him that the previous coma was not tens of millions of years. Turning his head to look, he saw a familiar figure sitting in front of the pile of rocks, although it was facing away from him, but the things in the other party's hands fell into his sight.
'Golden hoop!' Seeing the golden hoop, Ao Lie's heart subconsciously tightened, although he had not yet experienced the feeling of the 'tight hoop spell', but the feeling of being shackled on his head, and the feeling of life and death made him unforgettable for life.
Seeing that Ao Lie finally woke up, Zhou Bai couldn't help but smile and said, "What are you afraid of? Don't you feel any difference in yourself?"
Ao Lie, tremblingly stretched out his hand and touched his forehead, wiping away the cold sweat while his complexion couldn't help but change, he suddenly turned to look at the stone wall, only to see a young man with a delicate appearance and a somewhat haggard look on the smooth stone wall, and the most important thing is ...... The golden hoop between the foreheads is gone.
"Brother Dao... You!" Ao Lie looked at Zhou Bai with a complicated expression, and there was a trace of gratitude in his eyes.
Zhou Bai smiled, constantly casting all kinds of spells in his hands, testing the texture of the golden hoop, not caring about Ao Lie's gaze at all, "You don't have to thank me, I just did what I originally planned to do." ”
Ao Lie sighed lightly and said with a wry smile: "I thought that Brother Dao would not come......." When Shicai put on the golden hoop, he regretted it, no one else had heard of this kind of thing, as the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea, a white dragon with pure blood, how could he not have heard of it.
Golden Hoop Immortal...... Ma Sui.
Intercepting the golden immortal, is also the disciple of the saint of Tongtian, once the golden hoop falls, even the same golden immortal Huanglong Taoist can not escape, you know, the Huanglong Taoist is also a disciple of the saint, and it is one of the twelve golden immortals of the famous teaching.
Since the war between the three clans in ancient times, the prestige of the dragon clan has fallen again and again, and Huanglong Zhenren has become the pillar that the dragon clan relies on, and the pillars can't support this golden hoop, not to mention his little white dragon cultivated by Xuan Xian.
Zhou Bai smiled indifferently and said, "Since I said that I want to turn you into a bad chess piece of Buddhism, I will naturally come to take away the golden hoop." ”
If Zhou Bai does not appear, then it is Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves Ao Lie, and at the same time, this golden hoop will not be used on Ao Lie, and Zhou Bai has appeared now, and even almost broke the plan of Buddhism, Guanyin is not sure of Ao Lie's true attitude, so he will naturally give the only three golden hoops to Ao Lie.
After playing for a while, Zhou Bai reluctantly gave up his plan to study the golden hoop, the material and grade of this golden hoop are too strange, it is no different from the innate texture, it does not have any killing and garrisoning effect, and even the method used is very simple and rude, just put it on the top of the opponent's head.
casually threw the golden hoop to Ao Lie, Ao Lie subconsciously wanted to avoid it, then reacted, quickly caught it, and looked at Zhou Bai suspiciously, not knowing what the other party meant.
Zhou Bai smiled: "No matter how hard you try, you can't defeat the nine-headed insect, but if you put this golden hoop on his head, you can let him cut off one by himself." After speaking, Zhou Bai shrugged his shoulders, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a wicked smile, "As for how to explain the matter of the golden hoop to Guanyin, it's up to you." ”
The blue light appeared under his feet, and a transparent film appeared in front of him, and Zhou Bai's figure turned into a streamer and disappeared into the cold pool.
What's the scariest thing about a team?
Mistrust.
When the people who travel west protect each other and are suspicious, and the people of Buddhism do not trust the people who travel west, then how can this great drama of westward travel be staged?
After Zhou Bai left Hantan, he planned to go to the Five Elements Mountain not far away, and meet the 'Monkey King' who only heard his name and did not see his person after coming to the flood wilderness.
"Little brother, help me bring some melons and fruits when you come over. Before Zhou Bai could get close to the Five Elements Mountain, an extremely subtle voice came from his ears.
Zhou Bai shook his head and continued to walk as if he had not heard of it.
A hundred miles away was only an instant for the golden immortal who was walking in the sky, but Zhou Bai stopped at a distance of more than ten miles from the Five Elements Mountain, the voice of the monkey head was still clear, but there were a few more reprimands from the Buddha Gate next to it.
Before Zhou Bai could get closer, a golden statue of Hercules appeared in front of him, the power god was as high as two zhang, and all the mana was condensed in the flesh and blood, his eyes widened angrily, and he reprimanded: "This is a forbidden place for monks, retreat quickly!"
Before Zhou Bai could answer, he heard the laughter of the monkey head, as if he had encountered something extremely happy, if he hadn't been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain, I am afraid that he would have jumped up and down and laughed wildly.
'Demon monkey, what are you laughing at?' The distant voice fell into Zhou Bai's perception along the wind.
'Hey, hey, hey~ I'm laughing, someone is looking for death. The monkey's voice was a little sharp, and his tone was quite contemptuous, 'Wufang Jiedi wants fewer people~~'
'What do you mean?!'
'Hey, hey, don't tell you. The monkey laughed again.
Just when Jiedi in front of him was about to ask again, he found that a strange man had already walked not far away.
"Who are you!" the golden-headed and silver-headed Jiedi looked at each other, and the silver-headed Jiedi stepped forward and asked. While asking, his eyes quietly looked behind Zhou Bai, and he saw the golden body of Polo Jiedi and Polo Monk Jiedi standing in the distant mountains, although there were breath fluctuations, there was no reaction.
Zhou Bai waved his hand, and the spiritual power surged from the swing of the long sleeves, knocking the two Jiedi to the ground.
Sun Wukong, who was at the foot of the mountain, bared his teeth at the Buddha Gate Power God who fell to the ground, and said dissatisfiedly: "Why don't you kill them!"
Zhou Bai couldn't help but be stunned, shook his head and smiled: "I still need them to convey a message, why kill them." ”
"Just keep one to convey the message, and the other few will be slaughtered directly, if you can't bear to do it, hand them to me, and I will kill them." Sun Wukong smiled evilly, and his tone was full of murderous intent.
Zhou Bai frowned slightly, the Monkey King in front of him was completely different from what he remembered, or in other words, it was completely different from the Monkey King he had 'beautified' in his memory.
Zhou Bai looked down, his eyes shrinking suddenly.
I saw Sun Wukong, who was buried deep in the soil and grass, although his face was full of mud, he had a pair of eye-catching eyes, and the golden light flashed in the depths of his pupils.
