Chapter 632: He is just a poor monk; the alliance letter is meant to be torn up
Well...
I haven't felt this kind of reaction for a long time.
I recall that when I was traveling westward, when I encountered the monsters in the mountains, both of them would often be startled, shouting "monsters" to each other, and their eyes full of vigilance.
Later... Bajie gradually became familiar with this scene. Whether he was called a monster by people or monsters, he was able to remain calm and calm.
Although the story of Journey to the West spread among the people of the Tang Dynasty, the images of their masters and disciples were also widely known.
But in order to avoid unnecessary accidents, Bajie often hides his pig head when he goes to places where people gather, and turns into a completely humanoid appearance to show others.
Today I was going to dress up as an Orion to seduce the Snow Demon in Changbai Mountain, but I didn’t expect that the Snow Demon hadn’t shown up yet. Instead, I met a “Wong Tai Sin” first.
"Pig demon?"
After a moment of shock, the "Wong Tai Sin" calmed down. Bajie's appearance is indeed shocking at first glance...but after seeing more, he will feel naive.
Although it's not really cute, it's still a bit ugly.
This time Bajie showed his true face, and "Huang Taixian" also recognized Bajie's "race" at a glance, "Where did you come from, a pig demon, how dare you enter Changbai Mountain without permission... I also had bad luck today.
It’s just for your entertainment.”
"I'm sorry." Bajie bowed his hands to the other party and apologized, "Old Zhu, I really didn't know that you can only ask for the title from the human race. I really didn't mean to amuse you... I just don't know.
What impact will it have on your practice?"
"It's not a big deal." Huang Daxian waved his hand and said: "This method of 'asking for a title' will only work on the human race... Since you are a pig demon, no matter what I ask you, or
No matter what you answer, I won't be affected. The only thing is..."
"Only what?" Bajie was stunned for a moment.
"It's not a big deal. It's just that when we 'ask for a seal', it will consume part of our energy and luck... If we don't get a response when we 'ask for a seal', we won't be able to 'ask for a second time' within a short period of time."
Sealed.”
In fact, similar situations have not never happened among the Huangxian clan...but it is not easy for them to encounter such a thing.
"But I can't blame anyone else." This "Huang Daxian" waved his hand to Bajie and said: "'Asking for a seal' actually tests our eyesight. After all, whether we can transform depends on the human race's mouth."
... Today I just lost some energy and luck. If we meet those who are even more unreliable, we open our mouths and say some unpleasant words... That will ruin our practice."
Bajie saw that this "Huang Daxian" was quite reasonable, so his feelings about it naturally improved a lot, and he turned to ask, "I haven't heard of your surname yet."
"I dare not show you respect, I am Huang Xiu'er."
After hearing this name, Bajie looked at the other person for a moment. Huang Xiuer was obviously very aware of the trouble his delicate name would bring to him, so he immediately added, "I am the third eldest child in the family.
The five immortals and mountain goblins in Changbai Mountain will call me Huang Sange if they want to give me face, and my relatives and friends will call me Huang Saner."
"It turns out it's Brother Huang and the poor monk Zhu Wuneng. We met for the first time and we were disrespectful."
When the other party reported his name, Bajie naturally wouldn't hide it, so the two parties officially exchanged their names.
"Zhu Wu can... Zhu Wu can..."
Huang Xiuer repeated Bajie's name several times, as if searching in her mind for where she had heard this name...
What did he call himself just now?
Poor monk?
Poor monk...poor monk...
Huang Xiuer's eyes met Bajie's face, and she immediately screamed again: "Oh!"
Suddenly he patted his thigh and said repeatedly: "Is the elder the second disciple, Zhu Wuneng and Zhu Bajie, who followed Tripitaka to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
When Bajie announced his name, he was not afraid of being recognized by the other party. Instead, he was a little worried that the other party would not recognize him... However, it seemed that his trip to the west was not in vain.
Even the "Huang Xian" in Changbai Mountain has heard of his name.
Of course Bajie knows that the reason why he is well-known is because of his master. Otherwise, who in the Three Realms would know who Zhu Bajie is?
"It's the poor monk."
Bajie clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist salute to Huang Xiuer.
"Who said I had bad luck today?" Huang Xiu'er put her hands on her hips and laughed: "Obviously a lucky star has come, and I, Huang San'er, have to meet the eminent monk... I haven't asked why the eminent monk changed his appearance this time.
How about entering our Changbai Mountains?"
"To be honest, the poor monk came to Changbai Mountain to find some local spices and specialties..."
"Easy to say, easy to say..." Huang Xiuer obviously knows the story of Bajie. This second disciple of Sanzang Buddha was the chef responsible for three meals a day on the westward journey, and his recipes are still circulated among the people.
, although they are all vegetarian, they are also well received. "Why do you need the elder to do such a small thing personally? The elder will come back to the clan with me for a small gathering. Tomorrow I will send someone to bring all the spices and specialties that the elder needs."
Bajie also didn't expect that Huang Xiu'er was very hospitable. Maybe it was because of his status that he didn't dare to neglect her, but it was undeniable... Bajie could clearly feel the kindness of the other party.
Bajie, who has always been accustomed to doing things by himself and being self-sufficient, is actually a little uncomfortable with it.
"Why...could it be that the elder looks down on me, Huang San'er? Do you think that I, Huang San'er, am a wild spirit, and don't want to associate with me, Huang San'er?"
"Brother Huang, what are you talking about?" Bajie immediately said, "It's just a poor monk who has just arrived here and bothers me like this..."
"Hahahaha——" Huang San'er laughed a few times and jumped directly onto Bajie's shoulders, "What's the trouble? Now that you've come to Changbai Mountain, as long as you think highly of me, Huang San'er, then I'll do it
The elder is a friend... Since he is a friend, if the friendship between landlords cannot be fulfilled... if word spreads, I, Huang Saner, will not be able to hang around in Changbai Mountain."
"Then...it's better to be respectful than to obey."
Bajie has also been walking among the people of the Tang Dynasty for many years, so he naturally knows that there is a big difference between the local mountain spirits and the demons in Xizhou.
The mountain spirits in Nanzhou that have survived to this day actually basically maintain a friendly attitude towards the human race. At worst, both sides keep a respectful distance and do not disturb each other... It is rare to say that the mountain spirits are naturally very hostile.
Human race.
Once such a situation occurs, there is a high probability that a certain human race will have a local conflict with these mountain spirits. It is a personal grudge and cannot be elevated to the level of various races.
Because those races that were truly hostile to the human race, as early as the period of the Human King, had led their elites to often encircle and suppress them. Therefore, the mountain spirits that were able to survive in Southern Continent until now, in the eyes of the Human King and the human masters at that time, they were just
A fairly docile race that does not need to be cleaned up.
It's just that the human race was very docile at that time, but in the eyes of the ordinary human race after that... it is not so obedient.
Why do the Huangxian clan have to "beg for a title" from the human race in order to transform?
In fact, it is precisely because during the ancient human race, their ancestor was the pet of a human king. By constantly trying to please the human king, he succeeded in transforming with the help of human luck... Therefore, this method of transformation also followed.
His bloodline was passed down to future generations, and gradually evolved into a way of "asking for a title" from the human race.
It’s not just the Huangxian clan.
The five great immortal families in Changbai Mountain were all vassals of the human race in ancient times.
It was only later that the human race's bloodline power gradually declined, and the five great immortal families were worshiped by the human race in turn.
However, with the rise of the human race again, the older generation of mountain spirits gradually recalled their obedience under the rule of the human king... and began to actively restrain their respective tribesmen not to cause trouble at this time.
Otherwise, if disaster strikes, it will affect the entire ethnic group.
There were quite a few ethnic groups that were enemies of the human race that were directly flattened by the human kings back then. The rivers of blood were by no means an exaggeration, but a brushstroke depicting a real scene.
With Huang Xiu'er as a "local snake", Bajie was not in a hurry to find the snow demon, and agreed to Huang Xiu'er to visit their tribe. Naturally, Bajie would not change his route halfway, so he followed the direction pointed by Huang Xiu'er.
forward.
On the way, I also asked the other party about some local things in Changbai Mountain.
Huang Xiuer also really regarded Bajie, whom she met for the first time, as a friend. She knew almost everything and talked about everything. Anyway, Bajie didn't expect that his small body could be so bold and energetic...
Making friends depends on your luck.
Some people will feel bored at first sight, and then they will say a few words that are not congenial... Relatively speaking, it is natural to feel like old friends at first sight.
Bajie was originally an easy-going person, and Huang Xiuer did not underestimate the difference in status between the two parties. In addition, the two parties had a good initial impression of each other. After going back and forth, they became more and more familiar with each other.
In just a few steps, they were already calling each other brothers. The elder brother is the elder brother and the younger brother is the younger brother. They are very close to each other.
"I didn't expect that Third Brother has been practicing for more than a thousand years." When Bajie heard about Huang Xiu'er's age, he was a little surprised, even though there were many thousand-year-old monsters killed under his rake on the way to the west.
..But with Huang Xiuer’s small appearance, if he hadn’t said it himself, it would be hard to imagine that it was already a “thousand-year-old demon”.
"Hi." Huang Xiu'er waved her hand, "What's the point of my mediocre skills? I'm far worse than the wise brother... The wise brother has only practiced for decades, and he has achieved such a level of cultivation. Although the foolish brother has grown up,
Thousands of years...but it is still beyond the reach of a horse."
"Amitabha." Bajie clasped his hands together, "This poor monk is just lucky. He is lucky enough to be a disciple of Master and listen to the teachings day and night, so he has achieved today's results."
"My dear brother, you are too humble." Huang Xiuer stood on Bajie's shoulder, leaning on one of Bajie's ears, and said with a smile: "If my dear brother has no extraordinary talent, how can he teach Tripitaka the Holy Buddha
How can we understand the Dharma and turn it into our own use?”
The two chatted and complimented each other all the way.
Soon we arrived at the homeland of the Huangxian clan.
The tribes of the five great immortal families in the Changbai Mountains were all registered with the imperial court. It was Xue Rengui who personally led a group of Xuanjia troops to divide the territories for the five mountain spirit tribes that had surrendered to the Tang Dynasty.
.
Li Shimin's purpose of sending Xue Rengui was very clear, which was to use the reputation of the Tang Dynasty God of War to intimidate them.
Even though they had agreed to surrender to the Tang Dynasty, it was just a verbal agreement, and it was just a thought to break it.
Li Shimin did not ask them to sign any treaty, because the principle is the same. As long as the Tang Dynasty remains strong, the other party will naturally obey the orders of the Tang Dynasty honestly... Otherwise, if the Tang Dynasty declines one day, even if there is a treaty
With it in hand, I'm afraid the other party won't take it too seriously.
Moreover, this is Li Shimin’s personal practice.
Just like when we were not as powerful as the Turks, we signed the Weishui River Alliance...and then endured the humiliation and recuperated our energy. After accumulating enough strength, the first thing we did was to destroy the Turks.
Therefore, Li Shimin does not believe that there is any so-called permanent covenant in this world, and peace is far from being achieved by relying on a "covenant agreement." What really needs to be relied on is the war horse under the crotch, the armor on the body, and the weapons in the hands.
It is even said that the existence of the alliance letter seems to be torn up.

Why was Wang Xuance able to "run rampant" in the East and West continents?
In addition to his own tyrannical bloodline power, the rising Tang Dynasty also gave him the confidence to act.
Why did Tripitaka, the emperor's disciple, dare to show his face to the Buddhas and Bodhisattvas on the Lingshan Mountain? It was also because of his boundless magic power that was as deep as the sea, and his Buddhist practice that was unparalleled in the three realms.
Why are all the "Five Immortals" so honest now?
Of course, they knew very well what would happen to those who opposed the Tang Dynasty. It was their instinct to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, and under such circumstances, it was easy to make the right choice.
Is the reason why Huang Xiuer wants to befriend Bajie really because they hit it off immediately and are very compatible with each other?
Bajie's own cultivation, as well as the Tripitaka Buddha and the Great Ci'en Temple behind him, are all indispensable prerequisites for achieving all of this.
Otherwise, he is just an ordinary pig demon...most likely he will not receive such courtesy from Huang Xiuer.
However, some things are hard to be confused about. If you see through it without telling it, we are still good friends. If we really dig into it... How many pure close friends can we have in this world?
Perhaps more often than not, they are superficial brothers who "collude" in one place because of interests.
And such friends are always quick to come and leave quickly.
"father."
As soon as people entered Huang Xian's territory, Huang Xiu'er shouted: "We have a distinguished guest."
On the way here, Bajie already knew Huang Xiuer's identity. He was the third son of the current leader of the Huangxian clan in Changbai Mountain... In fact, the spirits in Changbai Mountain called him "Third Brother" because of his father.
