As a pioneer of path exploration, Xiao Bailong had been here a long time ago. Now he led his master to the shore and stood at a stone monument.
Everyone looked at the stone tablet and saw three seal characters engraved on it - "Liusha River". There were four small lines of real characters on the belly that said: "Eight hundred quicksands, three thousand weak water depths. Goose feathers cannot float, and reed flowers set the bottom."
Shen."
Xiao Bailong sighed with emotion: "This water is more ferocious than my disciple's Yingchou Stream. It passes by 800 miles away... Master, let's fly over."
The four masters and apprentices are people with profound magical powers, soaring through the clouds and mists is no problem.
However, Master has made a wish to walk to the West one step at a time, otherwise... let alone a small quicksand river, even if it is a round trip from Chang'an to the West, it would be several times a day.
Fa Hai ignored Xiao Bai Long's joke. He watched the turbulent waves for a moment and then said: "When we were at Fuling Mountain, the Bodhisattva once said that in this Liusha River, there is a sinful god who was demoted from heaven to earth. He is
She gave it to the third apprentice she prepared for her master."
"Wukong, go and call him up for questioning." Fahai told the Great Sage to call him.
Before leaving, the Great Sage asked: "Does Master want to take him in?"
"Just the three of you are already a burden... You call him up first and help him as a teacher to transcend his sins and get rid of the pain of flying swords piercing his heart every day."
"Master Tripitaka, who went to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, is here. If the demons in the water receive guidance from the Bodhisattva, please come quickly to pay homage!"
The great sage shouted loudly from the shore. The river was still flowing, but there was no reply.
He flew up, hovered over the Liusha River and shouted a few more times, even carrying the Buddhist lion's roar method, but there was still no movement.
The Great Sage felt strange and wanted to go into the water to find out. However, considering his underwater skills, now that he had a junior brother with the Tianpeng inheritance and the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, there was no need for him to be brave, so he returned
The master's side responded truthfully: "Master, I have been calling for a long time, but no one has replied. Why don't you let Bajie and Xiaobailong go into the water to explore."
Xiao Bailong was the most positive. After hearing this, he started to stretch his muscles.
When Bajie saw that Xiao Bailong had made a move, he stopped fighting and hid behind him, fearing that his master would see him and assign him a job.
How could his little move escape Fahai's eyes and ears?
"Bajie, don't be lazy, go down and take care of Xiao Bailong."
"Alas, alas."
Bajie sighed and agreed again: "Isn't this my disciple who wants to arrange his luggage first?"
He put down his burden, carried the rake, and walked close to Xiao Bailong, whispering: "Brother, senior brother, although I have inherited the inheritance of Marshal Tianpeng, this is the first time I have ever experienced an underwater fight... If we meet again later,
There is a powerful spirit, please help me more..."
He first gave Xiao Bailong a vaccination.
Xiao Bailong was a sincere brother, he patted his chest and said, "Second senior brother, don't worry."
Then he flew through the air, turned into a white dragon, and got into the quicksand river.
Bajie followed soon after.
The two brothers got into the water, and the great sage and the master watched from the shore.
"There is a resentment in the water. I'm afraid the monsters in the river are not trivial." Fahai frowned slightly and said to the eldest disciple beside him: "If he and I are defeated in a while, and monsters appear in the water, don't you want to
Keep your hands open... take advantage of the opportunity to catch him first."
The Great Sage nodded repeatedly, took the golden cudgel in his hand, and stared at the river with all his concentration.
puff--
Not long after, Xiao Bailong and Bajie were seen rushing out of the water one after another. The Great Sage felt strange because there was no fight and there were no pursuers behind the two junior brothers.
But the expressions on the two junior brothers' faces after they landed were not quite right.
The Great Sage hurriedly stepped forward and saw that their faces were pale and their pupils were shrunken. They seemed to have seen something terrifying. He asked urgently: "Bajie, Xiaobailong... what exactly is under the Liusha River?"
Xiao Bailong swallowed his throat and calmed down his mind. Seeing the master coming over, he opened his mouth and said: "There are corpses everywhere and countless wronged souls. Among them, the nine headless corpses are the largest. These nine headless skeletons are surrounded by
A walking corpse, just because there are nine skulls hanging around his neck, there is a black evil spirit breathing out, and it is connected with it. From the nine skulls, some human figures can be vaguely seen, and their faces are all the same as those of the master.
The general appearance is just that the face is ferocious and there is no Buddha-like appearance... The disciples saw clearly that it was a soulless sinful immortal body. My second senior brother and I did not dare to touch it without permission, so we came back first to report to the master."
"Amitabha." After hearing this, Fahai recalled the words of the Bodhisattva that day and said: "I think this sinful immortal body is the body of the general who rolled up the curtain; the corpses and countless innocent souls all over the ground are his.
The evidence of cannibalism left behind for hundreds of years; as for the nine headless corpses you mentioned, they were the remnants of the ninth generation’s former master who was devouring them when he was passing by this place to obtain Buddhist scriptures... He hung them on his chest
The nine skulls are naturally the heads of the nine previous incarnations of my master. Now that you say he is a soulless walking corpse, I am afraid it is the handiwork of a Bodhisattva."
Xiao Bailong and Bajie only found out about the past that day when they listened to their elder brother's chat. Now that they heard the master talk about it and compared it one by one, they felt a chill in the back of their heads.
Bajie even muttered: "Since the Bodhisattva took action, he simply transformed all the guilty souls under the water... Why did he only take the soul of the guilty god?"
"Hehe." The Great Sage looked at the Liusha River with an unkind expression: "I'm afraid that the Bodhisattva has seen the master's magical power and knows that ordinary disasters cannot stop the master, so he increases the difficulty and deliberately leaves these ghosts and lingering thoughts to block the way when the master comes."
"Perhaps the Bodhisattva is studying Buddhism and wants to see if my teacher can only save demons but has forgotten how to purify these wronged souls." Fa Hai looked at the turbulent Liusha River and said, "I will wait for my teacher to enter the water.
One view.”
"Master." Bajie stretched out his hand to stop the master, with a sense of vindication, "I want the disciple to tell me who caused this evil, and who will clean it up... We, master and disciple, just cross the river on the water splash."
, What does he care about these other things?"
After hearing this, Wukong felt that it made sense, and he echoed: "In order to set up a disaster for Master to go west, he did such a harmful thing... It is simply unworthy of calling him a god or Buddha."
Xiao Bailong nodded his head. Although he thought that he should not sit idly by and ignore it, but... he also felt that what the senior brother and second senior brother said were right, and he also said: "Master, you haven't seen the people under the Liusha River.
It was a strange scene. They knew it was at the bottom of the quicksand river, but those who didn't know it thought they had gone to the underworld. It was obviously a crime committed by gods and was suppressed here, but the victims became passers-by for no reason. There is no such reason in the world...
This mess should be dealt with by heaven or the underworld."
Seeing the three disciples filled with indignation, how could Fahai remain unmoved?
But what does he gain by practicing Buddhism and walking in the world?
If this could shake his Taoist heart, he would not have crushed the Buddha's relic that day... he would have gone to Lingshan to sit on the throne of a true Buddha.
"Amitabha."
Fahai recited a Dharma chant and said to his three disciples: "If I don't go to hell, who will?"
