Chapter 12 The pure altar messenger with complicated emotions
That night.
Qin Yao and Zhu Bajie continued drinking and admiring the moon.
Agarwood and Xiaoyu sneaked out of the Jingtan Temple, in front of the flowers and under the moonlight, their palms held together unknowingly.
Everything looked the same as yesterday, until the lotus lantern hanging on Qin Yao's waist began to shine brightly...
"What does this light turn on for no reason mean?" Zhu Bajie asked in confusion.
Qin Yao took off the artifact from his waist and solemnly said: "Early warning, there is danger coming."
Zhu Bajie's heart trembled and he asked: "Erlang Shen?"
"Not sure, it might be the Roaring Sky Dog."
"snort."
"Hmph, hum~~"
Not long after, outside the temple.
Dressed in tight black clothes and holding a big bone in his hand, the barking dog took a deep breath into the temple and finally confirmed that the father and son were here.
After hesitating for a moment between going straight in to find someone and waiting for his master to come over, Roaring Sky Dog raised his head and glanced at the word "Jingtan" hanging on the door of the temple. Thinking of the reputation of the messenger of "Jingtan" in the Three Realms, he strode in with his head held high.
In the temple.
"stop!"
Zhu Bajie hurried over from the backyard and asked: "Why did you come in without telling me?"
"The door of your temple is open, isn't it just to welcome others into the temple? How can you say that I came in without telling you?" Roaring Sky Dog asked.
Zhu Bajie said seriously: "My gate is reserved for pilgrims. Are you a pilgrim?"
Xiaotian Quan plucked out a piece of hair with his backhand and turned it into a stick of incense: "I can also be a pilgrim."
Zhu Bajie shook his head: "The incense I serve here is not this stick of incense, but delicacies from all over the world. If you don't have delicacies, don't come into my door."
Roaring Heavenly Dog threw the incense in his hand to the ground and said: "I think you have too many small things in the temple. To tell you the truth, I came to pursue the criminals of Heavenly Court on the orders of Zhenjun Erlang. If you don't want to violate the rules of heaven,
, if you are convicted of being an accomplice, please hand over Liu and his son to me as soon as possible."
Zhu Bajie snorted coldly: "My place is a pure place of Buddhism, and there is nothing to invade from heaven."
"Did you just rely on your words? Do you dare to let me search it?" Roaring Sky Dog asked.
Zhu Bajie: "Why should I let you search? Who do you think you are? Don't say it's you. Even if your master comes to my place, you have to be polite to me."
"Isn't that the opposite? You should be the one who is polite to my master." Roaring Sky Dog said.
Zhu Bajie turned his hand and summoned a nine-tooth rake, pointed at the opponent and said: "Get out, get out, don't force me to do it."
"Okay, okay, it's better to meet each other than to be famous. They say you are a fearful master. I didn't expect you to be so stubborn. When my master comes, let's see how you explain to him!" Under the intimidation of the nine-tooth rake, Roaring Sky Dog
He exited the Jingtan Temple step by step and stood at the temple door with an angry look on his face, saying harsh words.
"Bang."
What responded to him was the temple door that Zhu Bajie deliberately slammed shut. The loud sound was like a slap on his face, making him jump in anger, but he did not dare to make a mistake.
In the temple.
Zhu Bajie strode to the backyard and said to Qin Yao who was down the corridor: "You guessed it right, it's Roaring Sky Dog. I've already driven him out."
Qin Yao looked solemn: "The roaring dog is here, which means Erlang Shen will come here soon. Can the Bodhisattva respond?"
Zhu Bajie's mind was racing, and he thought to himself: "If I say that there is no way to deal with it, Wuneng will become incompetent. The other party will definitely look down on him, and it will be difficult to explain to Chang'e in the future."
Thinking of this, his chubby cheeks suddenly became solemn, and he suddenly came up with a solution...
"You two, father and son, work together to cut off the three thousand worries and take refuge in Buddhism. Then I, the Buddha, can eliminate your misfortunes and solve your problems."
Qin Yao shook his head and said: "The Third Holy Mother is still waiting to reunite with our family. I can't be tonsured with agarwood."
Zhu Bajie secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but still had a heavy expression on his face: "This is not going to be easy. If you don't get tonsure and convert, I can't ask Buddha for help..."
After this conversation, even if he failed to protect Liu and his son in the end, he could still explain to Fairy Chang'e.
So even if he was rejected, he was not at all disappointed, only happy.
"In my opinion, we still have to find the Fighting Buddha." Qin Yao looked into Bajie's eyes and said, "How about you take us to his place to have a look, what if we happen to catch him out of seclusion?"
"How could such a coincidence happen?"
Zhu Bajie waved his hand and said: "Well, I'll go to Lingshan tomorrow. If he comes out of seclusion, I'll bring him here; if he doesn't come out of seclusion, we can't count on him."
As he said this, he even looked forward to Erlangshen being able to rush into Jingtan Temple and take away the father and son when he went to Xitian...
The next morning.
Zhu Bajie stood in the backyard and said to the three people who were seeing him off: "The period of my departure is the most dangerous time for you. Remember to hide it well. No matter what Erlang Shen says, don't show your face. What's more,
Don't be stupid enough to open the door for him."
"Don't worry, we are not that stupid." Chen Xiang responded.
Qin Yao's heart moved slightly, and he raised his eyes and said, "Before leaving, why don't Bodhisattvas lay a layer of barrier in this Jingtan Temple? Or just seal the temple directly, and then unseal it when you return."
Zhu Bajie: "..."
"That's right." Chen Xiang's eyes lit up and she said excitedly: "This barrier doesn't need to be sustained for long. It can sustain Erlang Shen's attack until you come back for rescue."
Zhu Bajie was very helpless, but he couldn't reveal his little thoughts, so he could only look serious, but in fact he arranged the next layer of defensive barriers perfunctorily.
He knew very well that this barrier could be used to block the Roaring Sky Dog, but it was purely wishful thinking to use it to block the Erlang Shen!
Half afternoon.
The sunlight is warm and the environment is quiet.
Xiaoyu, who was lying in the bedroom taking a nap, fell asleep. In her dream, she returned to the fox cave and saw the old fox sitting cross-legged in meditation.
"Grandma." Xiaoyu called softly.
"Xiaoyu, where have you been? Why do I feel that you are so far away from me?" the old fox asked.
Looking at the old fox with his eyes tightly closed on the bed, Xiaoyu was slightly startled. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was a dream or not.
"Don't be afraid." The old fox said, "I am using the dream method to talk to you. We are all in your dream."
Xiaoyu suddenly realized it and said: "I'm at Jingtan Temple."
"Jingtan Temple!!!" The old fox's voice suddenly became louder.
Zhu Bajie is famous all over the world for being named the envoy of Jingtan Temple. How could she not know where this Jingtan Temple is?
"That's right." Xiaoyu explained: "I met the Liu family and his son in a small city who were avoiding the pursuit of Erlang Shen. I walked with them and came to the Jingtan Temple."
The old fox said in astonishment: "Walking with them? Are you doing it voluntarily?"
"Yes." Xiaoyu said, "I want to get the lotus lantern and avenge my parents!"
Old Fox: "Didn't I tell you? Stop this plan! Then Liu Yanchang is a real killer. You can't fight him."
"I never thought about fighting him."
Xiaoyu explained: "Now that I have a very good relationship with his son Liu Chenxiang, maybe we can start from the perspective of true love and borrow the lotus lantern.
And more importantly, Liu Yanchang is planning to meet Sun Wukong. If I can follow him and gain a foothold next to Sun Wukong, I can look for opportunities to take action."
"No." The old fox said flatly: "Before you perfect the Heaven Splitting Divine Palm, Sun Wukong can wipe you out with just a wave of his fingers. It's too dangerous."
"If you are 30% sure, you should give it a try, because if you don't try, you won't have a 10% chance." Xiaoyu said softly.
The old fox was speechless.
"Grandma, I know you are worried about me." After a moment, Xiaoyu said again: "Don't worry, I will be careful and careful, and try not to risk my life."
The old fox sighed and said: "Now that you have made up your mind, grandma will tell you one more thing. I heard someone said that there is a wick in the lotus lamp, and swallowing the wick can give you tens of thousands of years of mana. I don't know whether it is true or not.
"
Xiaoyu: "I know, I will test it."
"Be sure to pay attention to safety. Grandma, you are the only one close to me in this world." The old fox said.
"Dong dong dong, dong dong dong."
Suddenly, there were slight knocks on her door, and then Chenxiang's voice came from outside the door: "Xiaoyu, are you still resting?"
"Grandma, it's time for me to wake up." Upon hearing the call, Xiaoyu said quickly.
"Go, go," the old fox responded.
In the bedroom, Xiaoyu suddenly opened her eyes, strode to the door, and reached out to open the wooden door.
"I didn't disturb you, did I?" Chen Xiang retracted her palm and said with a smile on her face.
Xiaoyu shook her head: "No, come in and talk~~"
at the same time.
Outside the temple.
The roaring dog flew up into the sky and met Erlang Xiansheng Zhenjun who came with a group of grass-headed gods.
"Well done, Roaring Sky Dog." After the two sides met, Erlang Shen praised with a smile.
Roaring Heavenly Dog suddenly beamed with joy, nodded and said, "Unless they abandon their bodies, they can't get rid of me even if they flee to the ends of the earth! Master, they are in this temple now, please hurry up and order the door to be broken down."
Erlang Shen suppressed his smile, shook his head and said: "You cannot force the door open! This is the dojo of Buddhism and Bodhisattvas after all. If you force the door open, it will easily cause conflict between the West and Heaven. Even if I am the God of Justice, I cannot be responsible for this."
"Then what should we do?" Roaring Sky Dog said with disappointment.
"Be polite first and then fight."
Erlang Shen responded, and just now he shouted to the temple under the clouds: "Envoy of Jingtan, Yang Jian is here to visit, please show up to meet me."
The sound was rolling and spreading throughout the temple, but there was no movement at all inside the temple, as if it was just an empty courtyard.
Erlangshen frowned and shouted again. Seeing that no one answered, he murmured: "Is it possible that you are not at home?"
"The Liu family and his son must be in the temple." Roaring Sky Dog said.
A flash of light flashed in Erlang Shen's eyes, and he saw the barrier light film hidden in the void, but he still ordered to Roaring Sky Dog: "Go inside and have a look."
"Yes, Master."
The roaring dog flew directly from the air towards the temple. As it flew, it was stopped by a transparent film of golden light.
"What the hell is this?"
Roaring Sky Dog stepped on the light film and banged it twice with a bone. He saw the light flow, but the film body did not see any damage.
"It's a seal." Erlang said: "It seems that Zhu Bajie has been prepared for it."
"Second Master, let me break this light film." Kang Taiwei cupped his hands and said.
Erlang Shen raised his hand: "As I said before, don't cause conflicts between Buddhism and Heaven. Wait, the Liu family and his son are both here. It's impossible for Zhu Bajie not to come back."
This wait lasted two days.
In fact, Zhu Bajie was afraid that he would go back early and confront Erlang Shen, so he hid in Lingshan for two days. He felt that time was almost up, so he rushed to Jingtan Temple in a hurry.
But when he came to the Jingtan Temple and saw Yang Jian and a group of grass-headed gods behind him, his cheeks suddenly twitched hard and he wanted to turn around and leave.
Unfortunately, when he saw the other party, Yang Jian also saw his figure, and waved enthusiastically: "Messenger of the Purifying Altar."
Seeing that he couldn't escape, Zhu Bajie took a deep breath, rode the clouds and came in front of the gods, forcing a smile on his fat face: "What advice does the justice god have?"
Erlang Shen did not say that he was here to arrest Liu and his son, but said with a smile: "I am passing by your place and want to ask you for a cup of tea. I don't know if it is convenient."
"Ouch, what a coincidence."
Zhu Bajie waved his hand and said: "I came back to get something. I have to leave after getting the things. I'm afraid I won't be able to entertain the God of Justice."
"I wonder what you want to take?" Erlang Shen asked.
"Do I need to report this to you too?" Zhu Bajie frowned.
Erlang Shen waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't get me wrong, I'm just curious."
Zhu Bajie exhaled and said, "If there's nothing else, I'll go get something first."
"Please..."
Zhu Bajie glanced at him, waved his hand and cast a spell to remove the barrier, but when he landed in the courtyard, God Erlang also fell down with the grass-headed gods.
"What does this mean, God of Justice?" Zhu Bajie summoned a nine-tooth rake and asked loudly.
Erlang Shen winked at Roaring Sky Dog, and the latter immediately rushed out like an arrow from a string, crashing through a wooden door with a bang, and a pair of young children suddenly caught the eyes of the gods.
"What do you mean by harboring an important criminal from Heaven, Messenger of the Purifying Altar?" Roaring Sky Dog asked triumphantly.
Zhu Bajie said without changing his expression: "Heaven is going to offend? Who?"
"He, Liu Chenxiang!" Roaring Sky Dog pointed at Chenxiang and said loudly.
Zhu Bajie took a deep breath and said: "He is not a criminal, he is a lay disciple I accepted. Yang Jian, are you going to take my disciple in my dojo?"
Yang Jian said calmly: "The Purifying Altar Envoy, this person is what the Queen Mother wants to take."
Zhu Bajie bravely stretched out his hand and said, "Where is the purpose of the law? Show me."
"There is no legal decree." Yang Jian said.
"How can you prove it without a decree?" Zhu Bajie said: "If you can't prove it, how do I know if you are lying to me?"
Yang Jian nodded and said: "Okay, then I will go to heaven to ask for the decree."
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie's expression went blank.
No, boss, how come you, the God of Justice, are as soft as noodles?
Can't you just be tough and lead troops to capture people?!
