Chapter 697: It’s a trial in itself; destiny is really not here to teach
Liangshan is really not an easy place to go out.
The formation in the mountain is indeed as Lan Caihe said, the formation is wonderful... In addition to having the effect of no-flying, it also has the ability to hide the trail.
That is to say, Lan Caihe had figured out the situation of the paths and secret posts outside Liangshan in advance, otherwise the first step into the mountain would have been a huge obstacle.
"How does the Liangshan Mountains compare with the Changbai Mountains?"
Li Chunfeng knew something about Bajie in Liangshan, but he didn't know it in too much detail. He just learned from Yuan Tiangang that Bajie had saved a great wizard in Changbai Mountain who had been surviving since ancient times.
In fact, Li Chunfeng still treats the wizards with respect, especially those branches of wizards scattered in the northern grasslands and the mountains of the southwest. If they can truly unite under the leadership of the Tang Dynasty, it will undoubtedly be
A very powerful force.
It's just that... after all, the wizard lineage and the human king lineage were sworn enemies back then. It was not without this reason that the nomads on the grassland repeatedly violated Bian'er.
But here in the southwest mountains, it is relatively better. They have always believed that I will not provoke you, and you should not bother me. They insist on being closed and not communicating.
Of course, these two branches have completely different attitudes towards the Central Plains, which actually depends on the topographic environment of their respective survivals.
Liangshan is located in Qilu, the hometown of Confucius and Mencius, and one of the important birthplaces of Chinese civilization.
The cultural heritage here is even higher than that of the Central Plains.
In this land, in addition to the prosperity of culture, it can also be said that there are many heroes... It is said that before the demons occupied Liangshan, a group of Jianghu people settled in Liangshan.
"It seems that Liangshan is even more dangerous." Bajie said: "In the Changbai Mountain, after all, there are five great immortal families who are devoted to the Tang Dynasty... But this Liangshan seems to be full of monsters, and they are like iron barrels.
Together... As of now, it is extremely difficult to get deep into it... let alone find the lair of this group of monsters."
Liangshan is very big.
Liangshan is famous for being surrounded by eight hundred miles of water.
With such a force on the way to the west, it would definitely be considered a great demon king.
Taking a detailed look at the 800-mile boundaries on the journey to the west, except for the special conditions of Qijue Mountain and Thorny Ridge, which one of them has a good reputation for monsters?
Either he has powerful supernatural powers, or he has a profound background... As for Qijue Mountain, it was because of a mountain of rotten persimmons that the whole mountain smelled so bad that people who didn't know it thought they were on the Shishi Mountain... As for that
Thorn Ridge is also because of the thorns on the mountain, so the demons are not willing to settle in the mountain.
At first, the two of them followed Lan Caihe's instructions and walked smoothly around the outskirts of Liangshan Mountain.
But after I started to dig in a little bit, I hit a wall everywhere.
Relying on Li Chunfeng's Taoism and Bajie's brute force, he was able to break through a few formations, but for the huge formation that covered the entire Liangshan, it was just a drop in the bucket and had no practical effect at all.
Even trying to catch two tongues, he always found nothing. This is one of the reasons why Li Chunfeng felt that the little monsters in Liangshan were all elite.
With the blessing of the formation, and before finding a flaw in the formation, even Li Chunfeng and Zhu Bajie had to stop temporarily.
On the outside of the mountain is the warning array, further inside is the enigma array, and behind the enigma array is obviously the trap array.
Because Li Chunfeng still saw some clues with his own discernment, and Li Chunfeng studied under Taishang Laojun. In addition to Laojun's alchemy skills, Li Chunfeng also learned the essence of Laojun's formation skills... That's why he dared
Take Zen Master Bajie into the battle to explore, otherwise you will definitely not be in danger.
Bajie's current characteristics are that he is obedient and easy to control, and he is very cautious in every step he takes in the formation...he only listens to Li Chunfeng's instructions. After all, he can only be regarded as a beginner in the realm of formation.
For Bajie, he was completely blind in this large formation in Liangshan and had no clue at all.
"Let's exit first."
Li Chunfeng looked at the trapped formation close at hand and did not choose to go in to find out. He just made the decision to retreat temporarily. Regarding Li Chunfeng's decision, Bajie had no objection and nodded and said: "The land route is impassable, so it is better to go and explore again.
waterway."
Compared with the mountains on the ground, it is obviously more difficult to set up a large formation of the same level in the water... Moreover, Bajie has inherited the characteristics of Marshal Tianpeng. His combat effectiveness in the water is higher than that on the ground.
Increase by at least 30%.
It can be said that the water is Bajie's home field. Even the Great Sage has to give Bajie three points in the water... If you are not careful, Bajie will take advantage of him.
You must know that the current Great Sage is no longer as good at water fighting as he used to be. Under the targeted training of his master, the Great Sage has been overcoming this weakness and making himself more invulnerable.
It can be seen that Bajie's strength has actually grown to a very impressive level while silently.
It was a test in itself. Although Li Chunfeng and Zhu Bajie really wanted to break through Liangshan's defenses at once, the scene before them was also within their expectations.
And there is another point that has been corroborated.
When he was in Luoyang, Li Bai learned from Master Mingxuan in Green Bamboo Alley that the old demon who attacked Ohnoze Water God and the group of black armor soldiers that day had the aura of Shangqing Taoism on his body.
Even if the other party is not from Jiejiao, he has been passed down by Jiejiao.
However, Master Mingxuan only recognized the breath of Shangqing Taoism and did not identify the other party's identity, so he could not truly confirm the other party's whereabouts.
But now that Li Chunfeng has seen and personally experienced the large formation set up according to the terrain of Liangshan Mountain... he can almost confirm the other party's inheritance. Those who can have such a level of formation, in the entire Three Realms, are basically from
He belongs to the lineage of Jie Jiao... Even if he is not an inner disciple, his status among the outer disciples is definitely not low.
In fact, if you count them carefully, there are only a few direct disciples and inner disciples of Jie Jiao. Their whereabouts are not a secret now, and they can be eliminated directly.
The eldest brother, Taoist Duobao, is a Tathagata Buddha in Lingshan; the eldest sister, the Holy Mother Jinling, was on the list of gods and was named Doumu Yuanjun. Now she is in retreat in the palace in heaven, bent on breaking through the shackles of the list of gods; the Holy Mother of Turtle Spirit is even more so.
Died tragically by blood-winged black mosquitoes...
Of the four direct descendants, only one, Wudang Virgin, sits on Jin'ao Island and is in charge of Biyou Palace... The only time she left the island was when she followed Qingping Sword to the Tang Dynasty and accepted Li Bai as his disciple.
The whereabouts of the seven inner disciples are also relatively clear.
Wu Yunxian was locked in the Eight Treasures Merit Pool of Dayei Temple in Lingshan. This Eight Treasures Merit Pool is the spiritual treasure of the Taoist Guide. Even though the Taoist Guide is now outside the three realms, Tathagata Buddha has not been able to break it.
Treasure, rescue Wuyunxian;
As for Jin Guanxian... In fact, there is a certain suspicion among Li Chunfeng. After all, before he captured Long Er Dingguangxian, his whereabouts in the Three Realms had always been relatively concealed... If it was intentional
If he were to hide his whereabouts, given his level of cultivation, it would be really difficult for him to detect him, whether it was Listening or the Six-Eared Macaque.
As for the fact that Master Ming Xuan cannot recognize the identity of Jin Huanxian... then it is possible that Jin Huanxian has made a certain disguise. This can also explain why Jin Huanxian did not show a stunning array before.
level.
And there is another point. When the old demon from Liangshan took action outside Luoyang City, Jin Guanxian was really not on Jin'ao Island. As for where he was at the time of the crime... I'm afraid no one can testify for him.
.
If it is really him, then he is probably playing a big game...but all this must be based on Li Chunfeng's inference.
As for Piluxian, he was taken to the Western religion by Taoists after the Great Conferment of Gods, and later became Vipassi Buddha. Together with the fearful Sun Buddha who explained the teaching, they were both Buddhists in the past seven years.
One of the Buddhas, and after he joined the Western religion, he has been in seclusion... That is to say, when Tripitaka went to Lingshan to obtain scriptures and received the Buddha's decree, he came out of seclusion and showed his face in Daleiyin Temple.
..Although he was very low-key that day and had no intention of causing trouble, he was still subjected to thunderous sounds from the sun... This experience can be said to be unforgettable in his life.
Although Tathagata Buddha did not attack him that day, the look he looked at him still contained profound meaning.
For Piluxian, he was still struggling in his heart... After all, he had some bad intentions back then. He thought that Jie Jiao had failed miserably, and coupled with the powerful magic power of the Taoist Jie Yin, when he captured him, he also
Without much resistance, he just accepted the Western religion.
But who could have expected that the person who finally made the decision in Lingshan would be his senior brother Jie Jiao... He also felt unclean in his heart, so he tried not to meet his senior brother. But now many of his fellow sects want to return to Jin Ao
When he was on the island, he felt that he didn't have the dignity to return to Jin'ao Island... Therefore, after Master Sanzang and his disciples left Lingshan, he went back to retreat.
And Pilu Immortal is really practicing the Buddhist path of annihilation that cuts off the cause and effect of the world of mortals.
Later, the Qiu-shou Immortal and the Spirit-tooth Immortal were saved by Master Tripitaka in Shituoling. One soul was still scattered in the three realms, and the other had a ray of true spirit left, which merged with the Spirit-tusk Elephant Buddha enshrined in incense.
Now he has transformed into the body of a white elephant, and is accompanying Samantabhadra Bodhisattva to clean up poisonous obstacles in Luzhou, Beiju. This is a matter of great merit;
Jin Guangxian and his two senior brothers, Qiu Shou Xian and Ling Ya Xian, were surrendered by the three great warriors during the Conferring God War and were taken as mounts... Different from the experiences of his two senior brothers, he
The treatment he received at Guanyin Bodhisattva was quite good... Not only did the Bodhisattva not treat him in the slightest, he even treated him as a fellow Taoist to discuss Taoism... Then he untied his shackles and set him free.
.
In the end, due to some misunderstandings, he accepted the Jinshenggong Empress of the Zhuzi Kingdom as his disciple, and his good disciple even built Qilin City with his own hands, becoming the first demon city in the Three Realms... It can even be said to be the beginning of a demon city.
It was the first time that the monster race and the human race coexisted harmoniously.
Although the emergence of Qilin City is full of various coincidences and non-replicability, it has to be said... its significance is still significant and is worthy of learning and carrying forward.
Now, under his sect, he also accepted a prince from the Tang Dynasty, King Li Tai of Wei, and He Xiangu, one of the candidates for the Eight Immortals... He didn't have much time to go to Liangshan to lay out the plans.
As for the last Long-eared Dingguang Immortal, it is even more impossible. Ever since he was captured by the Golden Hoop Immortal and sent to Jin'ao Island, his future life has been destined to be difficult.
No, I was tortured every day... all kinds of punishments were given in different ways.
Our Lady of Wudang even issued a special task to the three brothers of Hu, Deer and Yang, asking them to come up with some punishments specifically for the Long-eared Dingguang Immortal... At the beginning, Immortal Yangli carefully designed it, but Immortal Huli and Immortal Luli were still the same.
I was worried and couldn't be as upright as my third brother... But later, I saw that every time the punishment designed by Yang Li was adopted by the Wudang Holy Mother and tested to a certain effect on Chang'er Dingguang, he could still get some results.
Some exclusive rewards...this made the Great Immortal Huli and the Great Immortal Luli uneasy.
Based on this idea, it can be considered as a perfect way to mobilize their enthusiasm.
Moreover, they also successfully gained many benefits from being a Virgin.
In this regard, Chang'er Dingguangxian only wanted to die quickly...but this time he truly realized that life was worse than death, and there was no chance for him to commit suicide.
More than half of the direct disciples and inner disciples of Jiejiao were lost...Those powerful outer disciples had suffered heavy casualties when they had fought with the Fengshen. For example, Zhao Gongming of Mount Emei,
Empress Sanxiao from Sanxian Island, Luo Xuan from Fire Dragon Island, and Lu Yue from Famous Mountain on Kowloon Island.
Even if these great immortals with advanced cultivation are on the list of gods, they are almost all the main gods... For example, Zhao Gongming is the true king of the Golden Dragon Ruyi Zhengyi Longhu Xuantan in charge of the Ministry of Finance, and Luo Xuan is in charge of the Ministry of Fire
The Southern Three Qi Huode Xingjun, Lu Yue is the Wenhuang Haotian Emperor who is in charge of the Wen Department...
These great immortals can be said to have shined brilliantly in the Conferred Gods War. If it were not for destiny, they would not be able to intercept the teachings. In addition, coupled with some of their own shortcomings... I am afraid that whether Xiqi's side can win is still open to question.
In fact, Xiqi's side paid a heavy price to deal with these immortals. Winning was very difficult and not easy.
In the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation, Jiejiao's entire army was almost wiped out... Even though some of the disciples escaped, they finally fell apart after the leader, the sage Tongtian, was taken to the Zixiao Palace to reflect on his past by the Tao Ancestor.
The largest sect in the Three Realms, which was originally known as the Ten Thousand Immortals, fell into despair overnight, as if it had been destroyed.
Now think about it, with a body as large as Jiejiao, maybe there are some fish that have slipped through the net... Just like Master Mingxuan, he missed the catastrophe of becoming a god because he really went to retreat...
But there may not be some powerful but low-key monks who managed to escape from the battle of the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation.
Of course, it is also possible that after more than a thousand years of practice, some disciples who were not taken seriously back then have become stronger... And this is what Master Mingxuan only felt that he was familiar with the other party and could recognize the Shangqing Dao Dharma.
, but cannot identify the other party’s identity.
And there is a high probability that this old Liangshan demon doesn’t know the real Mingxuan either.
