Chapter Seventy-Six: The Road Leads to the Heavenly River
Above the sea, Prince Moang and all the immortal friends were waiting anxiously. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ info Before I knew it, it was getting late, and the sun was setting, spreading a layer of mist on the sea, which complemented the thick smoke rising from the sunset mountain. Just when everyone couldn't hold it back, a wave suddenly surged on the sea. Prince Moang and other water-skilled people hurriedly drew their weapons, and the other scattered immortals also rose and waited for them.
"Everyone, be careful!"
A huge wave rolled over, but everyone saw Gao Lan and the old demon standing side by side, with six old monsters at the bottom of the sea standing beside him, as well as the god of the sunset mountain....... However, none of these people were holding weapons, nor did they have those water tribes to arrange troops, and they glanced at Prince Moang, who was a little stunned, and stepped forward and said: "Prince, after the enlightenment of Fairy Xiaolan and the mountain god, I have been relieved and awakened, and I ask the prince to forgive me." β
Prince Moang was stunned for a moment, and all the immortal friends were also stunned. I saw that the prisoner took Gao Lan's hand and said: "I think that in this life, no one wants to believe me once, because I used to be such a stupid person, I was deceived everywhere, and I took the blame again and again." But I didn't expect that in this world, there are still stupid people like me! There is a way that the one who is a confidant dies, and the woman is the one who is pleased. Even if there is no recovery in the future, I will admit it. β
"We feel the guilt of the king, but it is not right to be angry with others. Don't hide it from the king, Ao's family has also been punished by heaven repeatedly, but people exist in the world, and natural disasters are hidden, but because of this, they can make brothers by their side, which is not a shame!" Prince Moang also stepped forward and grabbed the arm of the prisoner. The prisoner smiled and said, "What the prince said is very true. In this case, please go to the water village to get together, and the prisoner will prepare a thin wine, and accompany you!"
"Please!"
Seeing this, the scattered immortals were originally a little suspicious, but after Prince Moang and Gao Lan entered the water together, everyone no longer hesitated, and they all dived into the water one after another. Among them, there are many friends who have been arrested by the prisoners, but as the prisoners say, those people are only locked up in water prisons, and they have not been harmed. After the matter was resolved, he finally released his previous suspicions, and the prisoner set up a banquet in the water village to accompany the immortals.
And the god of the sunset mountain also fulfilled his promise to let him enjoy his freedom. But if there is a Heavenly Court official to investigate, the prisoner will have to hide in the legal prison and get through the test in a fool's way. The prisoner should admit the grievances.
In this way, the Sunset Sacred Mountain has finally returned, and now the scattered immortals and demon immortals in the Zhonghai area can cultivate here, and they are also happy.
Such days are months in a flash, and there is no Heavenly Court official to check it. Unconsciously it was winter and spring again, and on this day, the sea was breezy and sunny, and Gao Lan and several scattered disciples sat on a small boat together, feeling the Dharma fog erupted from Xixia Mountain to the sea, and they were all intoxicated. Those who are on the same boat are all Gao Lan's friends, the brothers and sisters of You Baoxian Temple, and the Taoist friends of Wuzhuang Temple.
In this sea mist, there are many such small boats, all of which are sitting with scattered immortal disciples of various sects, and the atmosphere is very harmonious.
Although this kind of magic fog is no longer of much use to Gao Lan now, she can still use it to refine the magic weapon. For example, the eight-foot dragon scale gun, and the fox tail halberd that has never been used much around the neck. After years of fighting, the magic weapon will be somewhat worn out, but after being drunk in this sunset mist, it has become neat and new, and it seems to be more solid.
Now, even Song Lei has cultivated her mana and stepped into the immortal class. The group reunited again, and they also had mixed feelings.
Gao Lan took the fox tail and felt that he had almost finished cultivating, and handed it to Song Lei and said, "Senior sister, you don't have a magic weapon yet, this is for you." Song Lei took it in surprise and wrapped it around her neck: "Wow, I like it!" To be honest, she likes this fox tail, I'm afraid she likes it a little more than the magic weapon itself. After all, girls are most interested in such ornaments.
These scattered immortals all like to make friends with Gao Lan. Because Gao Lan treats people sincerely, he has no arrogance, and he is generous, a veritable "wealth boy".
"Senior Sister Xiaolan, I have to admit that every time I see you, you will surprise us a lot. The Chong Gray Daoist leaned on the side of the boat, holding a pot of wine and tasting it slowly, letting out a sigh of emotion from time to time. "I think when you first came to our Wuzhuang Temple, it was only at the level of our disciples who had just entered the outer gate, but in the past few years, you have risen all the way, and even our master is impressed. β
"Haha, this is the benefit of following Tang Seng Xitian to learn scriptures. Gao Lan raised her chin proudly, which made everyone yearn for a while. Ling Shusheng said: "Otherwise, when will we also go to Dongtu to see if there are any monks who want to travel far away." We will also protect him, maybe the Buddha will be gracious and seal us with a golden body and fruit?" he said, and everyone agreed.
"If the Buddha wants to pass on the scriptures, it must be more than once. Gao Lan also agreed, "Maybe in the future, there will be a place for scattered immortals, and maybe everyone will be brought over." Song Lei listened, but said: "What's so fun about that, I still like to be free, and having Ling Liang with me is enough." After she finished speaking, everyone else looked at Ling Shusheng, making him all a little embarrassed.
"By the way, Senior Sister Xiaolan, don't you have a boyfriend?" Song Lei couldn't help but ask, "You are so good, there must be a lot of people chasing you." β
"This ......" Gao Lan was a little embarrassed for a while, but at this time, a straightforward voice suddenly came from the sky: "Niang-Ziββ! Niang-Ziββ!" Everyone looked up, but it was Zhu Bajie driving a black cloud and calling Gao Lan. Gao Lan was stunned for a moment, glanced at the old pig, then at everyone, and said with a dry smile: "Actually, I have a nickname, just 'Liangzi'." Well...... Ryoko Kawashima. β
"Oh. Everyone nodded, but they didn't believe it.
"Ladyββ! Master's illness is cured, and we are ready to learn scriptures from the west!" Bajie kept shouting in the sky, so that the people on the other ships noticed them. Gao Lan finally couldn't help but roar: "Don't howl, it's disgusting!"
Bajie burst into tears.
In this way, Gao Lan said goodbye to these immortal friends in Zhonghai and went back to Turbidity Qing City with Zhu Bajie.
In the turbid city, it is still as calm as ever. Back in the familiar inn, Gao Lan saw Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, and Sha Seng came over affectionately and shouted: "Senior sister!" Gao Lan also smiled and patted Lao Sha's shoulder. Sun Wukong looked listless, it seems that he has accompanied Tang Seng here to recuperate for most of the year, and he has tossed an old grandson enough. At this time, Tang Seng glanced at Gao Lan and said two words: "Checkout." β
"Huh?" Gao Lan looked at Tang Seng, but saw him take out a bill. Gao Lan took the bill and glanced at it, and her face suddenly darkened. "Master, do you have an annual meeting here?"
"Hey, it's the way west, and it's not easy to be a teacher. Tang Seng sighed, turned around and ordered: "Wukong, open the way." Eight precepts, carry the burden. Wujing, prepare the horse. Turning back to Gao Lan, he reminded again: "Xiaolan, check out." When he had finished speaking, he walked out with his hands behind his back and pace. Gao Lan licked her lips and comforted herself: "Hey, isn't it just money." Grab it later...... Just earn it again. β
In this way, Tang Seng and his entourage finally set off again, grinding and grinding along the way, stopping and stopping, and finally walked for another half a year, and then came to Yuanhui County, the border of Chechi Country. Although Che Chi Guo is also a big country, he is a cripple, and he can walk half a circle in a year; but it took Tang Seng 16 months to walk from Che Chi Guo to Yuanhui County! Sixteen months, this progress has been recorded in the records of the Three Realms of Fenis.
At that time, in the Three Realms, there was a popular saying: Which one is stronger in grinding technology, ask Lao Tang on the West Heaven Road.
Chechi Guoyuanhui County, which is also a sign on the Xitian Road, is 54,000 miles away from Chang'an, which is half of the westbound journey. In the northwest of Yuanhui County, there is a Chenjiazhuang, next to a big river, called Tongtian River; in these years, I don't know where a monster came from, lived in this Tongtian River, and used to calling for wind and rain, stirring up wind and waves, causing the people on both sides of the river to be displaced, and suffering disasters year after year.
Later, the monster appeared, proclaimed himself the king of inspiration, and forced the people to build temples, sacrifice pigs, cows, sheep and wine, and eat a pair of boys and girls a year. Every year, when parents give their children to youkai to eat, they cry very miserably.
In the late autumn and early winter of this year, the Tang monk and apprentice were traveling all the way west, and suddenly heard the sound of water, only to see a big river blocking the way. Tang Seng didn't know the depth of the river, and asked if he could wade through, Bajie took a stone and threw it, only to hear the sound of "tom", turned back to Tang Seng and said: "Master, this water is not as deep as the sea, I'm afraid it's half of it, and I can't go through!" Tang Seng listened, and said a little anxiously: "Apprentices, how wide is this river?"
Sun Wukong listened, drove the clouds and looked far away, only to see the water and sky in the distance, and the white sky could not be seen. After landing on the ground, he said, "Master, it's very wide. My grandson's eyes can see three or five hundred miles, but now I can't see the end at a glance!" After Tang Seng listened, he was so anxious that he couldn't speak for a while. Wukong saw that the shadow next to him looked like a human figure, so he hurriedly ran over with a stick, but saw that it was a stone tablet on the bank of the river.
The stele is written with three big characters of "Tongtian River", and there are ten small characters next to it: the river is eight hundred miles wide, and there are few people who have crossed it since ancient times.
Wukong hurriedly called Tang Seng to come and see. Tang Seng saw it and couldn't help crying: "Apprentices, I left Chang'an back then, and I just thought it was easy to walk on the West Heaven Road. I don't know that along the way, the demons are blocking the way, the mountains and rivers are far away, I really don't know what year and month I will be able to get the true scriptures back!" Sha Seng hurriedly went over to comfort him, while Gao Lan stood far away, too lazy to pay attention to this hypocritical guy.
"Senior sister, you can also say something. Sun Wukong glanced back at Gao Lan and hurriedly made a look. Gao Lan sighed, stepped forward and said to Tang Seng: "Master, although the West Heaven Road is far, there will be no way out. Since it's getting late today, why don't we find a place to rest. After a few days to find the ferry, it's not too late to go west. When Tang Seng heard this, he immediately burst into tears and said, "Okay." β
Sha Seng also said, "Little junior sister is right!" Sun Wukong sighed. At this time, there was a faint sound of gongs in front, Sun Wukong hurriedly went over to investigate, and when he came back, he had a happy face, and said to Tang Seng: "Lao Chen, I have come to your hometown in front." The village is called Chenjiazhuang, and there are more than 100 households, but it is also lively. Let's go and stay overnight, so that we can give Master a meal to eat. β
When Tang Seng heard this, he immediately smiled.
