This Skull Mountain is majestic and terrifying, the top of the mountain can not be seen at a glance, a piece of blood-colored red clouds float in the middle of the mountainside, roaring in the wind, the mountainside is full of black caves, a dense blood-colored bamboo forest under the mountain, white-headed and black-body vultures spread their wings and soar in mid-air.

"It looks like the Skeleton couple is on top of this mountain. Sun Wucat looked at Skull Mountain and said, his eyes flashing with joy, as if he had discovered a treasure in the world.

"Well, but if we want to go up, we must first pass through the blood-colored bamboo forest below, which is the corpse forest, and the forest is full of dead bodies and bones, which are said to belong to cultivators. Sha Wuyu said a little timidly.

"I am anxious to seek the Lord, and I hope I will forgive me, Amitabha. Sun Wumao folded his hands, bowed to the forest, turned to look at the blood-colored remnant sun that was about to set, "No fish, it's not too early, let's go up the mountain as soon as possible." ”

Walking into the corpse forest, a chill came to the face, the tall and dense large-leaf blood bamboo covered the sky and the sun, and could not see in the slightest bit of sunlight, the swaying bamboo leaves were like blood-red skulls, staring at their every move in amazement, although the bamboo and bamboo were very spacious, but still faintly unable to see the end. Not far on the ground, two half-human-tall vultures heard the sound, flapped their wings and flew away, leaving behind the corpse of a monk who had been hollowed out, and several white bones were displayed next to it.

Sha Wuyu screamed "ah" and threw herself into the arms of Sun Wu Cat, after all, she has been growing in the water, almost never come out, and she has only heard of this place, which makes her very frightened.

Sun Wumao comforted Sha Wuyu, saluted the monk's corpse, and continued to walk deep into the bamboo forest.

The sun was setting, the sky was getting darker, and it was very quiet on all sides. Sun Wumao suddenly noticed that there seemed to be some strange noise behind him, so he stopped and turned around.

It didn't matter if he turned around, a flock of vultures appeared in front of him, no less than a dozen of them, half-human tall, white-headed and black-headed, with no feathers on their necks and heads, only a few fluff. They stretched their long necks and stood in a row, which couldn't help but make Sun Wumao's heart tighten, it turned out that the two vultures just now were not frightened away, but to summon their companions to share this delicious meal, they stared at the two uninvited guests with salivation, their eyes glowed with green light, as if they were staring at two pieces of fat that were about to reach their mouths.

"Wait for us to leave quickly, we are just passers-by, not here to give alms!" Sun Wumao protected Sha Wuyu behind him and scolded sharply.

The row of vultures continued to move forward quietly, as if they did not understand or simply did not pay attention to Sun Wumao's words.

"If you don't listen to the dissuasion and approach without permission, don't blame me for hurting your life!" Sun Wumao stretched out his arms and made an offensive stance. At this time, Sha Wuyu had also realized the seriousness of the situation, fear could not defeat the enemy, and only bravery could make the enemy timid. She stood up from behind Sun Wucat and also lined up in a posture.

The row of vultures suddenly stopped, and the middle one strode out of the array, tilting its head to carefully examine the two pieces of "fat" that were about to reach its mouth on the opposite side, and let out a "clucking" sound, as if expressing a contemptuous mockery.

"Woo ......" A vulture suddenly fluttered its wings from behind the led vulture, and pounced straight on the Monkey Cat.

The Monkey Cat turned around and dodged, and the vulture fluttered into the air, but its huge wings swept over the head of the sand fish, and the wind brought it lifted her head.

Sun Wucat saw Sha Wuyu fall to the ground, but he didn't care about her, took advantage of the situation to pounce on the vulture that had not yet landed, grabbed its long neck with his right hand, raised his strength above his head, jumped to a giant bamboo, and slammed it on the thick bamboo trunk in mid-air, the vulture let out a terrible wail, and then stepped on this bamboo trunk and jumped to the side of another giant bamboo, and then a slam, and a terrible wail.

The Monkey cat fell to the ground, and the vulture also slipped to the ground with the bamboo stem, flapped its wings a few times, and whimpered for its life. This series of movements is clean and neat, without dragging, worthy of an agile cat.

Seeing that their companions had suffered a loss, the vultures quickly attacked in two directions, one running to the Monkey Cat and the other to Sha Wuyu, who had not yet had time to get up from the ground.

Seeing this, Sun Wumao wanted to save Sha Wuyu, but he was distracted for a while, the vulture was too fast, and the one that rushed to the front hit him heavily on his chest, knocking him far away, and his back hit a huge bamboo behind him, and he felt a tingling pain in his chest, and his eyes were full of Venus.

Sun Wucat endured the severe pain, covered his chest, staggered to stand up, suddenly saw two more vultures rushing towards him, straight to the door, he quickly rolled to the right, the two vultures could not dodge, the spread of their wings hit the bamboo stem, fell to the ground and screamed in pain, Sun Wucat took the opportunity to jump over, both feet stepped on the heads of the two vultures, only to hear the sound of "click" two bone cracks, both died under their feet.

The remaining two vultures were too frightened to approach when they saw this, but they just jumped left and right on the ground in panic, and Sun Wucat didn't have time to pay attention to them, so he finally pulled out to rescue Sha Wuyu.

At this time, Sha Wuyu was surrounded by five vultures, and one of the vultures rode her to the ground, tearing the clothes on her chest, and the scene was embarrassing. Sand Fish was grappling with both hands at its neck, and as soon as he let go, his sharp hooked beak would sink into the flesh.

Seeing this, Sun Wumao hurriedly stepped on the giant bamboo beside him, kicked his feet, jumped in front of Sha Wuyu with his strength, grabbed the vulture riding on her with both hands, grabbed the root of the neck with his left hand, and twisted his head with his right hand a few times, and the vulture's neck became a twist, fluttering his wings a few times and whimpering for his life.

The five vultures around were dumbfounded, and at this time, the Monkey King cat had already killed red eyes, and no matter whether they wanted to rush up or run for their lives, they picked up the vulture that had just twisted their necks into twists and smashed them at the one in front of them, and grabbed the heads of the two vultures with their hands back, and waved their arms, only to hear the simple "click" twice, and the necks were both broken, the speed was so fast, the movements were so agile, it was dizzying, as if it only happened in an instant.

The remaining vultures, who were not dead and who were not dead, saw that they could not fight him, so they quickly shook off their wings and fled for their lives.

Sun Wumao didn't chase after her, but quickly turned around and picked up the frightened Sha Wuyu and sorted out her clothes.

"It's okay to have no fish, and they won't dare to come again!" Sun Wumao picked up Sha Wuyu and stroked her hair and comforted.

"Thank you for saving me again. "Sha Wuyu was very strong, he didn't cry, he was just a little frightened.

"It's okay, it's all my fault, if I hadn't borrowed shells from the skeleton couple to learn that underwater kung fu, I wouldn't have come here, and I wouldn't have encountered such a dangerous thing. Sun Wumao blamed himself.

"You don't need to blame yourself, since it's to save our master, even if you don't come, I will pull you here. Sha Wuyu comforted.

Sun Wumao smiled ashamedly.

"What should you do with this clothes?" Sun Wumao asked, staring at the torn clothes on Sha Wuyu's chest, but fortunately, there was still a chest wrap that was not broken.

"My clothes are the scales on my body, don't worry about it, it will heal and regenerate on its own. Sha Wuyu said.

From Sun Wumao's expression, it can be seen that he thinks this is very magical, after a day's journey, and after a desperate struggle, they are extremely tired, and sit on the ground to rest.

"Wu Mao, why did you say those vultures attacked us?" asked Sha Wuyu.

"Obviously, they think of us as people who have come here to give. ”

"Almsgiving?" it was clear that Sha Wuyu had heard of it for the first time.

"Yes, give your life. This is the most noble almsgiving, but also the highest state of Mahayana Buddhism, according to my Buddhist teachings, after death, the soul leaves the body into a new reincarnation, the body becomes a useless skin, after death will be placed in the corpse of the forest to the birds and beasts, it is also the last time in life to do good, the merit is immeasurable, and can redeem the sins of life, is conducive to the reincarnation of the soul, the folk also call it the heavenly burial. ”

"Sky burial?"

"Well, the original meaning of celestial burial is the immortality of the soul and the repetition of the soul, and death is just the separation of the immortal soul from the old skin, and it is a different transformation of the different dimensional space. After death, the skin is placed in the corpse forest for birds and beasts to swallow, three days later, if the skin is eaten by birds and beasts, it means that it has accumulated virtue and done good deeds before its death, and its soul returns to heaven, if it is not eaten up or the skin is intact, it means that it has done a lot of evil in his life, and even birds and beasts do not want to enjoy it. When we first stepped into the bamboo forest, we saw the monk who had been hollowed out by the vultures, and it was in the midst of a celestial burial, and we disturbed his funeral in the past, so that the vulture left before it was eaten, so we made a salute to apologize, hoping that he would not blame. ”

"What's the difference between this and a tragically dead person exposed to the wilderness and devoured by those jackals, tigers and leopards?" Sha Wuyu felt very puzzled.

"Well...... Sun Wumao scratched his head and thought for a while, but he had no answer in his heart, so he could only prevaricate: "My Buddha thinks that there is a difference, then there must be his reason, how can I be allowed to speculate and blaspheme my Buddha's compassion." ”

"Since I'm a Buddha with mercy, how can you blame me for the slightest blasphemy I said to him?" Sha Wuyu mischievously compared Zhen'er, but she really didn't mean disrespect, just confused in her heart.

Sun Wumao didn't have a deep knowledge of Buddhism, but he occasionally overheard a few words when he was in Lingshan, and Sha Wuyu's question made him speechless.

"By the way, Wuyu, how much do you know about this corpse Tuolin?" Sun Wumao tried to change the topic to avoid Sha Wuyu's question.

"It's a forest with a lot of corpses!" replied Sha Wuyu.

"No, no. Seeing that the topic was successfully shifted, Sun Wumao secretly rejoiced in his heart, "As far as I know, this bamboo forest is just one of the corpse forests. ”

"One?" Sha Wuyu became strongly interested in this sentence, as if Sun Wumao knew this corpse Tuolin better than himself.
