King Zhou waved his hand and did not explain too much to the other party.
"Right..."
King Zhou seemed to suddenly think of something, and changed the topic, "Since you have returned safely, I won't say much else. I have a task to give you now."
Hearing these words, Yi Aai was stunned for a moment, and there was a huge gap in his heart. He had just escaped from death, and he still expected King Zhou to reward him with two Nine-turn Golden Pills.
But in the end, not only were there no words of concern, but they were assigned additional tasks before they even sat down.
Even the white-faced fox on the side felt that what King Zhou was doing was a bit impersonal. He smiled and saluted, "King, Brother Yi Ai just escaped from the pagoda. You should let him rest."
"Even if you can't rest, why should you give two pills to adjust the meridians?"
On the way to Qingqiu, Yi Ai told the white-faced fox that King Zhou had many Nine-turn Golden Pills in his hand, and after eating them, he could improve his cultivation.
After hearing this, the white-faced fox wanted to try the power of this Nine-turn Golden Pill.
The Nine Turns Golden Pill, that is the elixir refined by Taishang Laojun.
King Zhou's face darkened when he heard this, and his eyes were like black holes trying to swallow up the white-faced fox.
"Who do you think you are? You dare to teach me how to do things?"
The white-faced fox suddenly felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, his whole body was chilled, and his body was shaking uncontrollably. He did not dare to say another word, and secretly guessed in his heart.
"Who is this person? Why do I feel so much fear when I face him? He is even more terrifying than Empress Shiji."
Yi Ai felt a hint of murderous intent from King Zhou, and looked panicked, and quickly stood in front of the white-faced fox.
No matter what, it was because of him that the white-faced fox made King Zhou angry.
Yi Ai cupped his hands and said, "King, my subordinates are not teaching me well. Please don't blame me. I don't know what task the king wants to assign to me?"
"snort."
King Zhou snorted angrily, shook his sleeves and said with serious eyes, "I want you to kill Qin Tian!"
Qin Tian repeatedly ruined his good deeds, and it was difficult to calm down his anger unless he killed him.
As soon as he heard Qin Tian's name, Yi Ai was shocked and said timidly, "Wang, but, I...I can't beat Qin Tian."
It's not like Yi Ai has never fought against Qin Tian.
When the world was flooded, King Zhou sent a dozen strong men from Burial City to round up Qin Tian, and Yi Ai was one of them.
But at that time, even if more than a dozen strong men took action together, they were still defeated by Qin Tian.
At that time, none of the more than a dozen strong men in Burial City were any match for Qin Tian, let alone him alone.
Yi Ai naturally hated Qin Tian deeply, but he still knew himself and did not dare to provoke him again.
Yi Ai didn't want to experience the strong sense of oppression at that time again.
King Zhou seemed to have expected that Yi Ai would say this, and reminded him aloud: "If you can't defeat Qin Tian, can't you find a helper? It is said that you have a father who is a Buddhist? Just let him take action.
Already?"
After hearing King Zhou's reminder, Yi Ai realized that although he couldn't defeat him, he could win over others.
His father is Venerable Sakyamuni among the Buddhists. He is powerful and has a high status. If the other party is willing to take action, it will not be difficult to capture Qin Tian!
As a result, Yi Ai suddenly became more confident, nodded heavily, and said, "I accept your orders, and the king will wait for my good news."
After saying hello to King Zhou, Yi Ai turned around and left Daji Cave, taking the white-faced fox with him to Lingshan Mountain.
King Zhou looked at Yi Ai's leaving figure with a very gloomy look in his eyes.
…
Here, after Qin Tian returned to Nanyue Mountain from Tianting, he had sent Joey back to Yunwu College, and Yuhuatian had also returned to Tianmeng.
Qin Tian could only return to the Wangyue Mountain Villa in Qingshi alone.
"So boring."
Qin Tian was lying on the sofa, looking a little bored.
"Forget it, let's go collect a debt."
Qin Tian got up from the sofa and called out debt a in his mind, which could be regarded as killing time.
I opened the list of overdue customers and saw a name named Golden Body Arhat on it.
"Huh? Golden Arhat? Isn't this Sha Seng? Why is he also among the overdue customers?"
After wondering for a while, Qin Tian clicked in out of curiosity, ready to check it out.
The interface shows that the borrower is a golden Arhat and a monk.
One hundred and thirty-two years overdue.
The reason for the debt is that we urgently need to purchase rare medicinal materials, so we have paid three million merit points to our company.
After reading it, Qin Tian was a little confused. It has been almost more than a thousand years since Sha Monk became a Buddha, right?
Why would you borrow money from a heavenly loan company just because of millions of merit points?
And the most important thing is that this debt was borrowed more than a hundred years ago. Could it be that Buddhism cannot afford to pay salaries?
No, Buddhism should be different from Heaven. I don’t know why this monk is so embarrassed.
Unable to figure it out, Qin Tian didn't think much about it and clicked on Sha Seng's name to find out.
In the blink of an eye, Qin Tian came to a river beach. The water was fast and turbid.
The area around the river beach was overgrown with weeds, and there were no traces of human habitation.
I turned around and saw a stone tablet in the distance that was almost weathered. After wiping off the sand and gravel on the stone tablet, I could clearly see from above that there were a few large characters written crookedly on it.
These big characters are not today’s characters, they look like ancient Chinese characters.
Qin Tian couldn't understand it, so he took out his mobile phone to take pictures for identification, and took the photographed stone tablet to the Internet for identification, and then he realized that these words were "Liusha River".
Qin Tian looked at the photos on his phone and muttered, "So this is the Liusha River!"
While talking, Qin Tian saw from the corner of his eye a dilapidated cabin in the distance.
"How come there are still people living here?"
Qin Tian put his mobile phone into the storage ring and walked into the cabin curiously.
Gently pushing the door open, there was a "squeaking" sound. Listening to this sound, I thought that this wooden house must have been there for a long time.
When you walked into the wooden house, you saw a very simple bed on the ground, and a low table beside the bed. Directly above the wooden house, there were two Buddha statues carved from wood.
One of them is Tathagata Buddha, and the other one is Guanyin Bodhisattva.
The two Buddha statues are spotless. It is obvious that someone lives here often and has been cleaning the two Buddha statues.
Under the Buddha statue, there is also a shabby book with the word "Sha Monk" written on it. It should be his diary.
"It seems that this is where Sha Monk lives."
Qin Tian picked up the book and looked at it twice, but did not open it.
After all, I am here to collect debts, not to pry into privacy.
Qin Tian looked around with his hands on his hips and murmured doubtfully, "This Sha Monk is really strange. He can't live in a good spiritual mountain, so why does he live in Liusha River, which is so remote and not very spiritual?"
"Is it like the Great Sage who likes nostalgia?"
Tap tap tap...
Just when Qin Tian was confused, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him.
When he turned around and looked around, he saw a bearded Shatuo with dark skin and wearing a Buddhist robe.
The other party was not angry because of Qin Tian's unauthorized intrusion. He just put his hands together kindly and asked, "Amitabha, I don't know who this donor is. What's the matter with coming to the monk's wooden house?"
Qin Tian looked at the Sha Monk for a while, and then said, "I am Qin Tian, I guess you are the Golden Body Arhat Sha Monk, right?"
After reporting himself to his family, Sha Seng also understood Qin Tian's intention, and with a warm expression on his face, he said
"It turns out that I am the debt collector of Tianting Loan Company. I am the young monk. Please sit down quickly. I am a humble person. I hope the donor will not dislike it."
With that said, Sha Monk brought out a pot of tea from nowhere, brewed it, and brought it to Qin Tian.
"Donor, please have some tea."
Qin Tian took a look and saw that the tea was clear, with a few green leaves floating in the cup and steaming up.
Because I was worried that this was a pot of fairy tea that might affect my cultivation, I waved my hands repeatedly and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I don't like drinking tea very much. I'm really sorry."
When Sha Seng saw Qin Tian's refusal, he thought his tea was too cold and the other party simply refused. I didn't like it, so there was a trace of embarrassment on my face,
"I'm really sorry, this tea is already the best tea here."
"Forehead……"
Qin Tian didn't understand what Sha Seng meant at first, but after seeing the embarrassment on his face, he immediately understood that the other party might have misunderstood, and hurriedly explained.
"That's not what I meant. I'm just worried that drinking your immortal tea will affect my cultivation. My constitution is somewhat special. If I use external force to improve my cultivation, I'm afraid it will be counterproductive and prevent my cultivation from progressing."
Hearing this, Sha Monk suddenly understood and said with a smile, "Donor, don't worry, my tea is just ordinary tea. It will not affect your cultivation. Donor, just drink it without worry."
After hearing this, Qin Tian also took the tea cup and smelled it, feeling a little unsure. After taking a sip, he found that it was indeed ordinary tea.
This kind of tea is not worth much money at all.
But despite this, this is the best tea here in Sha Seng.
Seeing Qin Tian drinking tea, Sha Monk also showed a hint of embarrassment on his face, and tentatively said, "Almsgiver, I don't know about the debt, can you give me a little longer? Don't worry, it will be three months at most, when I have saved up."
After the merits are calculated, they will be given in full."
Qin Tian raised his eyebrows and did not immediately agree to Sha Monk, but asked, "Sha Monk, you are also a golden Arhat of Buddhism. Why are you living in such a miserable state now? Maybe it's because Buddhism can't afford the salary, so...
…”
After all, as a Sha Monk, it is really unreasonable to live in such a dilapidated cabin, drink the cheapest tea, and still have millions in debt.
In any case, Sha Seng is also a golden arhat. Among Buddhists, his salary is at least nearly one million.
Hearing this, Sha Monk quickly waved his hand and said, "Donor, please don't misunderstand me. Buddhism will distribute the salary on time every month. However, the monk's salary was all used to support a friend, so..."
Qin Tian asked curiously, "Friend? What kind of friend can spend millions of your merit points in a month?"
Even Qin Tian himself is not so lavish. If there is no special matter, spending one million merit points a month is really outrageous.
"This... please forgive me for not being able to tell you."
Sha Seng shook his head and said nothing, as if he had some scruples that he couldn't tell Qin Tian.
Qin Tian noticed that Sha Seng seemed to have some difficulties and solemnly promised
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else. I just want to know why you can't repay the loan, otherwise I won't be able to explain it to the company, right?"
Having said that, Qin Tian was just out of curiosity.
Sha Monk seemed a little embarrassed, but what Qin Tian said was indeed reasonable.
In any case, I was overdue for a long time, so I really should tell the reason why.
So after hesitating for a long time, Sha Monk slowly said, "Almsgiver, if the young monk tells you, can you keep it a secret for the young monk? At least don't tell the master, senior brothers, the others, and people in the Buddhist sect?"
The masters and brothers Sha Seng was talking about were naturally Tang Seng and Sun Wukong.
Qin Tian nodded and agreed without hesitation, "Don't worry, I will keep the secret for you."
After hearing Qin Tian's assurance, Sha Monk felt relieved and told Qin Tian the truth.
It turns out that Sha Monk’s friend is a hedgehog spirit.
During the Journey to the West, Sha Monk was ordered to go to fast, but he suddenly lost his way halfway and unknowingly wandered into the territory of several monsters.
There were five people on the other side, and the leader was a wasp spirit.
After a cursory look, I realized that the wasp spirit's cultivation was not weak.
Among the four masters and disciples, Sha Monk had the lowest magical power, so he planned to turn around and leave secretly.
But who would have expected that a branch suddenly broke under his feet, attracting the attention of several monsters in front of him.
The Sha Monk immediately ran away, and the Wasp Spirit shouted, "Stop!"
Soon, several monsters quickly surrounded Sha Seng and looked him up and down.
"Hey, isn't this Sha Seng, one of Tang Seng's four masters and disciples?"
"Although I can't eat Tang Monk, it's not bad to be able to eat Sha Monk."
Sha Monk sensed the other party's malice, dropped the iron bowl he was using for fasting, held it with both hands, took out his magic weapon, the magic weapon for subduing demons, and shouted sternly, "Monsters, you'd better retreat quickly and wait for me."
Senior brother is here, and you are all going to die!"
The wasp spirit laughed twice disdainfully, "Hahaha, if you could call Sun Wukong here, you wouldn't have thought about escaping just now. I think Sun Wukong should be a long way away from you now, right?"
Sha Seng was poked at the central point, a trace of guilt flashed across his face, and he shouted with a bit of strength, "Monster, the reason why I don't call me senior brother is to save your lives. You'd better not be ungrateful!"
"Ha ha ha ha……"
The wasp spirit obviously didn't believe it, and laughed wildly, with a hint of contempt and ridicule in his eyes, "Then I want to see if Sun Wukong will come to save you!"
"Brothers, come on!"
After giving the order, the monster behind the wasp spirit picked up the guy and rushed towards Sha Seng.
The opponent had a large number of people, and Sha Monk's cultivation level was not high, so he was beaten back and forth.
Bang!
In the end, the Demon Subduing Staff was knocked out of Sha Monk's hand, and he was thrown a few meters away and fell heavily to the ground.
The wasp spirit jumped up, jumped in front of Sha Seng, and said condescendingly
"Hmph, today the brothers are finally able to eat meat. Although you are not one ten thousandth as good as Tang Monk, eating you can improve your cultivation by a few years."
"Monster, if you dare to touch me, my senior brother will definitely not let you go!" Sha Monk roared viciously, trying to use Sun Wukong's reputation to scare him away.
But the wasp spirit looked fearless and said, "When I eat you, how will your senior brother know that it was us who touched you?"
"Brothers, set the pot on fire and get ready to cook meat!"
"yes!"
Several monsters came forward, tied up Sha Monk, and set up a large iron pot next to him, with a blazing fire burning at the bottom of the pot.
Soon, the hot water in the pot was boiling. The wasp spirit rubbed her palms impatiently, licked the corners of her mouth greedily, waved her hands and said, "Quick, throw him in."
"yes!"
Seeing that he was about to become someone else's ration, Sha Seng was so anxious that he tried to break the rope around him, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't break free from the rope.
Several monsters came over fiercely and picked up Sha Seng.
Sha Monk looked at the boiling iron pot with fear and despair, thinking that his journey to the West was about to end here.
"stop!"
At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded.
Looking around, he saw a woman with a beautiful face and a slender figure. She was wearing a purple dress, with black hair draped over her shoulders, and a thorn-like headdress on her head.
There was a hint of anger in her eyes, and she stared at Wasp Spirit and the others.
"Wasp Spirit, are you tired of living? The lesson my husband-in-law taught you last time wasn't bad enough, right? Who told you to eat people casually again?"
When the wasp spirit heard this, she immediately became as cowardly as a grandson, bowing her back and bowing to the woman.
"It turns out it's the hedgehog girl. I haven't eaten it yet. I'm going to let him go. Don't tell the lion spirit!"
It turns out that the woman in front of me is a fairy who has become a hedgehog, and she is a companion with the lion spirit in the mountains.
As the king of beasts, the lion spirit has been cultivated into a spirit. His cultivation level must be much higher than other monsters. No one within a hundred miles is not afraid of this lion spirit.
Although the lion spirit is a monster, he is very kind-hearted and never bullies the weak. The reason is also related to the hedgehog spirit.
The lion spirit sets rules in his own territory. Monsters in his territory are not allowed to harm other creatures.
But there are always some monsters who like to touch lions' teeth and violate taboos.
This wasp spirit was one of them. The last time he tried to kill an old goat spirit for a tooth sacrifice, he was discovered by the lion spirit and gave him a severe lesson. Not long after that, the hedgehog spirit caught him again.
Then, the wasp spirit winked at several other monsters and put Sha Monk down.
The wasp spirit smiled and looked at the hedgehog.
Jing begged for mercy and said, "Hedgehog girl, I have let him go. Can you spare me for once and don't tell Mr. Lion Jing?"
The hedgehog spirit snorted angrily, "Next time I find you violating a taboo, I will never forgive you!"
"Yes yes yes!"
The wasp spirit nodded repeatedly, then waved to several monsters and fled the scene.
After the wasp spirit left, the hedgehog spirit cast a spell to untie the rope from Sha Monk's body and said, "They have left, you can leave."
After saying that, he was about to leave.
"Girl, please stay!"
The monk hurriedly stopped the other party, and when he saw her stop, he raised his hands and thanked her, saying, "The young monk accidentally lost his direction and entered this place by mistake. I would like to thank the girl for saving my life. The young monk has nothing to repay. I don't know where the girl lives. I will wait until the young monk finishes his work."
After a great deed, I will definitely repay the girl for saving her life."
If it were other monsters, if they heard that Sha Monk was one of the four masters and disciples of Journey to the West, they would definitely be eager to repay their kindness.
But the hedgehog spirit shook his head and said with a smile, "Master, you don't have to be polite. This little girl is just a little help. If it were someone else's little girl today, she would still come to the rescue."
"If you don't know the way, you can go out along the road ahead."
"My husband is still waiting for me, so I will take my leave first."
After saying that, the hedgehog spirit left.
Sha Monk was left staring blankly at the opponent's back, unable to recover for a long time.
This is the first time Sha Seng has encountered such a kind-hearted monster, which is completely different from the monsters that Senior Brother usually fights.
Then Sha Seng left here along the path pointed by the hedgehog. After returning, Sha Seng did not tell Tang Seng and the others about this.
Sha Monk was worried that even if he said so, Sun Wukong would not believe in the kind-hearted monsters in the world.
Not long after, the four masters and disciples of Sha Seng set off.
From then on, Sha Monk never saw the hedgehog spirit again until Sha Monk became the golden Arhat in his twentieth year.
That year, Sha Monk had lived in Lingshan for a long time but still reached the bottleneck of his practice. After receiving the guidance of the Tathagata, he realized that the worldly matters in his heart were unfinished.
But Sha Monk didn't know what unfinished business was in his heart.
Reluctantly, Sha Monk decided to repeat his journey to the West before he became a Buddha.
So we came to the Liusha River where we first traveled to the west.
After walking along the Liusha River, Sha Monk did not realize any Buddhist principles. When he was about to leave, there was a sound of fighting in the distance.
When I walked over following the sound, I saw several monsters attacking a banshee.
The banshee was now in a miserable state, slumped on the ground, her body covered with scars and bloody flesh, her face covered with dirt, and her appearance could not be seen clearly.
At this time, the appearance of a monster made Sha Monk suddenly startled.
That monster turned out to be the wasp spirit I encountered many years ago.
I saw the wasp spirit pointing at the banshee arrogantly, saying arrogantly, "Hedgehog spirit, you finally fell into our hands this time. The lion spirit has been dead for more than ten years. You have no backing. I want to take a look."
Who can save you!"
"Today we are going to peel off the hedgehog skin from your body and make it into armor!"
Saying this, the wasp spirit waved, and all the monsters surrounded him.
Sha Monk really couldn't stand it anymore, so he used a spell to lift up several monsters and threw them more than ten meters away.
The wasp spirit looked at the men who were thrown out with a look of horror on its face, looked around fearfully, and shouted loudly, "Who dares to ruin my good deeds without their own lives?"
"Amitabha."
After a loud voice sounded, Sha Monk walked out slowly, looked at the Yellowjacket with a calm expression and said, "Waspberry, do you still remember me?"
The wasp spirit couldn't feel any killing intent from the other party, so she frowned, looked up and down but still couldn't remember, and asked, "Who are you?"
Although Sha Monk at this time did not change much from before he became a Buddha, his expression changed a lot.
In the past, there was a fierce look in Sha Monk's brows, but now his face is full of Buddha's light, and his brows are benevolent.
Seeing that the wasp spirit didn't recognize him, Sha Monk reminded him, "A few decades ago, you almost threw me into an iron pot and cooked it. Have you forgotten?"
The wasp spirit became a little impatient, threw away his hands and shouted, "I've eaten too many people, how can I remember who you are? Bald donkey, I don't have time to play riddles with you, if you don't want to die, get out of here!"
"Amitabha, I didn't expect that after so many years, your monster's violence has not diminished but increased."
Sand Monk's trip was just to gain enlightenment and practice, and he didn't want to increase his sins, but the behavior of the wasp spirit really disappointed Sand Monk.
"You bald donkey, don't you have ears? I told you to get lost, did you hear me?"
The wasp spirit couldn't bear it any longer, and stretched out his hand to grab it. A big knife appeared in his hand, and he slashed it at Sha Monk.
Sha Seng turned around and hid, then reached out and slapped the opponent on the chest.
"puff……"
Immediately, a mouthful of blood spurted out from the wasp spirit's mouth, and its body flew backwards, falling heavily to the ground.
"You..." Wasp Fairy looked at Sha Seng in disbelief with a face of astonishment.
From the beginning to the end, Wasp Spirit never felt any killing intent from Sha Monk, but he did not expect that the other party would shatter his own meridians with a casual blow.
The banshee, who was slumped on the ground, was even more surprised. She looked at Sha Monk in a daze, her eyes starting to become brighter than dull at the beginning.
"You are..." The banshee seemed to recognize Drifting, but she did not say anything. Instead, she lowered her head and did not dare to look at Drifting again.
Sha Monk did not notice the Banshee's expression at this time, but kept looking at Wasp Fairy. He said leisurely, "Wasp Fairy, I am a golden Arhat. Decades ago, you almost threw me into an iron pot.
Among them, if you are willing to change your past mistakes and put down your butcher knife and practice hard today, I will not care about you."
When the wasp spirit heard this, he immediately remembered it and quickly knelt down on the ground, kowtowing to Sha Monk and begging for mercy.
"Sir, the golden Arhat, is too ignorant to recognize you. I deserve to die. I don't dare to do it anymore. Please spare my life, please, the golden Arhat."
"I will never dare to do bad things again in the future. I will practice hard, eat fast, chant Buddha's name, and ask the Golden Arhat to spare my life!"
As the wasp spirit said this, she slapped herself hard.
The sound of the slap was extremely loud, and the whole river beach was filled with the sound of "slap".
Seeing that the wasp spirit was willing to change his past, Sha Monk stopped embarrassing him and waved his hands and said, "You two can go."
"Yes, thank you Lord Golden Arhat. I'll leave right now!"
The wasp spirit got up, waved to the monsters behind him, and left the scene in a hurry.
After the wasp spirit left, Sha Monk came to the banshee, stretched out his hand and said, "Donoress, they have left. You can get up."
The banshee did not take Sha Monk's hand, but stood up tremblingly, saluted to Sha Monk and thanked him, "Thank you so much for saving your life, little lady."
Hearing this voice, Sha Seng's expression tightened, and he stared at the other person's face tightly, "Are you..."
The banshee turned away, not wanting to be recognized by Sha Monk.
However, contrary to expectations, Sha Seng recognized him at a glance.
"Are you the hedgehog spirit from decades ago?"
The hedgehog spirit bit his lower lip, somewhat unwilling to admit it. His eyes were slightly red, obviously he had suffered a lot of grievances over the years.
A few decades ago, the Hedgehog Spirit was prosperous for a while under the protection of the Lion Spirit, but now it is in dire straits.
The monk seemed to notice the embarrassment of the hedgehog spirit. He stretched out his palm and turned it over. Several pieces of clean clothes appeared in his palm. He handed it to the other party and said, "You put on these clean clothes first, and then you can tell me what happened."
The hedgehog tremblingly took the clothes from the opponent's hand and turned towards the Liusha River.
Sha Monk chose a far away place to meditate and chant sutras.
After the hedgehog spirit cleaned up, the two sat beside the fire and had a long talk.
After questioning, I found out that the reason why the hedgehog fell into such a miserable state was more than ten years ago.
The lion spirit is pure in nature and does not want to bully the weak, nor does it like killings on its territory.
But over time, some monsters in the territory became very dissatisfied with the lion spirit's style and believed that monsters should have the blood of monsters.
Then, a group of monsters began to plot to trap and kill the lion spirit.
The lion spirit is the last He died in the hands of those monsters, and his territory also fell into the hands of those monsters.
The hedgehog spirit, without the protection of the lion spirit, is like fish meat on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered by others.
The hedgehog spirit had no choice but to leave his hometown, but the group of monsters still refused to let go of him and chased him all the way.
This escape lasted for more than ten years.
Finally, the hedgehog spirit came to Liusha River after many twists and turns. There were few people here, and because of the thin spiritual energy, there were few monsters.
So the hedgehog spirit lived here for several years.
But he never expected that even after escaping to Liusha River, he would still encounter his former enemy, the Wasp Spirit.
If not for the appearance of Sha Monk, I am afraid that the current hedgehog spirit would have become a dead soul in the hands of others.
After listening, Sha Monk's eyes were full of compassion and he clasped his hands, "Amitabha, good at fighting. Lion Spirit Donor has never done any evil in his life, so he will definitely be rewarded with good things. But Miss Hedgehog, what are your plans in the future?"
The hedgehog's eyes were dull, and he just looked at the dancing flames quietly, shook his head and said, "I don't know."
Seeing that the hedgehog spirit had no idea, Sha Monk suggested
"If you have no plans, the poor monk can find a place for you to settle down, so that you will have no worries for the rest of your life, and you will not have to suffer from being hunted down."
But the hedgehog spirit shook his head and said, "No, I want to continue wandering. I heard that you can be reincarnated after the death of a demon or a human being. It has been eighteen years now, and I want to find the reincarnation of the lion spirit."
Sha Monk sighed, lamenting the hedgehog spirit's infatuation in his heart.
"But the divine world is so vast. Even if the lion spirit is reincarnated, where would you find it? This is like looking for a needle in a haystack."
The hedgehog bit his lower lip, his eyes complicated, as if he knew how difficult it was.
After the hedgehog spirit pondered for a moment, it seemed as if he remembered something. His eyes were full of hope as he looked at Sha Seng, and then he knelt down with a 'plop' and begged.
"Master Golden Arhat, you are now a member of Buddhism. It must not be difficult for you to know a person's reincarnation. Please help me."
"If you can help me find the reincarnation of the lion spirit, this little girl will be willing to work as a cow and a horse for you in the future!"
"Oh, why are you doing this?"
Sha Monk shook his head helplessly, not knowing that love could make people so persistent.
Seeing the determined look on the hedgehog spirit's face, Sha Monk couldn't help but feel moved, and nodded helplessly, "Okay then, I'll help you look for it."
Seeing Sha Monk nodding, the hedgehog spirit burst into tears of joy, with a bright smile on his face, and bowed repeatedly to thank Sha Monk.
"Thank you so much, Lord Golden Arhat, thank you so much, Lord Golden Arhat!!"
Sha Monk helped the hedgehog spirit up and said, "You once saved my life. If it weren't for you, how could I be the golden Arhat I am now? You don't have to be so polite to me. You can just call me the Dharma name Wujing."
"
The hedgehog spirit wiped the tears on his face and said with some embarrassment, "How is that possible? You are a Buddha and this little girl is a demon. How can I call you by your dharma name? How about I call you master?"
"Okay." Sha Monk nodded, then stretched out his hand and transformed a wooden house on the edge of the beach.
"I have cast a spell on this wooden house, so monsters are not allowed to come near. You will wait here for me these few days. When I find out the reincarnation of the lion spirit, I will come back and let you know."
"Thank you, Master. My little girl is waiting for you here."
Afterwards, Sha Monk left Liusha River on a cloud.
Sha Monk left Liusha River and took the lead in finding his senior brother, Sun Wukong.
Wanting to check a person's reincarnation, the first thing Sha Monk thought of was the underworld. When it comes to the underworld, who is more familiar with it than Sun Wukong?
When we came to Huaguo Mountain, we saw Sun Wukong and a group of monkeys playing on the swing.
"Senior Brother, you have been well lately." Sha Monk waved to Sun Wukong from afar to say hello.
When Sun Wukong saw Sha Monk coming, he immediately jumped off the swing and said happily, "Old Sha, why do you have time to come to my old Sun Huaguo Mountain? Isn't Lingshan too boring? Come to my old sun's Huaguo Mountain to get some fresh air."
?”
Sha Seng smiled, pulled Sun Wukong and said, "Actually, I came here this time to trouble Senior Brother to do me a favor."
When Sun Wukong heard this, his face fell, and he said very displeasedly, "You and I, my fellow apprentices, have been together for so many years. It's not a big deal. If you asked me to help, why would you make a special trip to just send a message?"
"After all, we haven't seen each other for many years, so we are estranged from each other, aren't we?"
Seeing that Sun Wukong was displeased, Sha Monk smiled and said, "Elder brother, you are right, how could I be separated from you? If I were separated from you, how could I ask you for help immediately?
"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he felt much better. He grinned and said, "That's pretty much it. Then tell me, what do you want Senior Brother to do for you?"
"I want Senior Brother to help me find someone's reincarnation."
"Oh?" Sun Wukong was curious and poked Sha Monk's chest and teased, "Who reincarnated and made you make a special trip? Could it be that you have fallen in love with some girl?"
Zhu Bajie asked Sun Wukong to reincarnate Gao Laozhuang and Miss Gao Cuilan before, but Sun Wukong did not agree at that time.
So this time Sha Monk asked the same question, and Sun Wukong subconsciously thought that the other person was the same as Zhu Bajie.
Sha Seng said helplessly, "Senior Brother, please stop making fun of me. I'm not the Second Senior Brother, and the person I'm looking for is a man."
"Oh? Then you can tell me your name, and I will go to the underworld to ask you."
Sha Monk said truthfully, "This man was a lion spirit in his previous life. He has been dead for eighteen years now. Logically speaking, he should have been reincarnated."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was in trouble and said, "If the other party is a goblin, I, the busy old Sun, can't help you."
"Why?"
Sun Wukong helplessly spread his hands and said, "This underworld has always been concerned with the birth, old age, illness, death and reincarnation of mortals. Although the King of Hell is familiar with me, he cannot overstep his authority and take charge of the reincarnation of monsters."
"Then who should I ask?" Sha Seng asked.
"Just go to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is in charge of the reincarnation of demon gods. You can ask him." Sun Wukong reminded.
Sha Monk showed joy on his face and bowed to Sun Wukong, "Thank you, Senior Brother. I will go find Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva right now."
"Hey, why don't you stay and have a drink with me, my grandson?"
Before Sun Wukong could finish speaking, Sha Monk left Huaguo Mountain on a cloud.
Soon, Sand Monk came to Jiuhua Mountain, the ashram of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.
Arriving at Jiuhua Mountain, following the guidance of the disciples in the ashram, Sha Monk found Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva who was meditating in the mountain.
Sha Monk clasped his hands together, bowed respectfully to the other party and said, "Little Monk Sha Wujing, please see Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva."
Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva gradually opened his eyes, and when he saw it was Sha Monk, he cheerfully said, "Golden Arhat, why are you here?"
Sha Monk said truthfully, "The young monk came here today to trouble Bodhisattva to help me find a person. To be precise, he is the reincarnation of a monster."
"Please tell me the reason, and I will consider whether I can open this convenient door for you."
If you want to find out whether a monster or a god is reincarnated, you will be giving away the secret, but if there is a legitimate reason, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is still willing to help.
Since he was asking for help, Sha Monk naturally couldn't hide it, so he told Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva about the Hedgehog Spirit and the Lion Spirit.
After listening to the story told by Sha Monk, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was moved, nodded and said, "Okay, I will fulfill this infatuated monster today."
Having said that, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva reached out and turned over a thick book of reincarnations, which recorded information about the reincarnations of all demons and gods in the three realms.
After briefly browsing, Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva found the reincarnation of the lion spirit, and raised a meaningful smile on his lips.
"Amitabha, it's really the fate of the people."
"Bodhisattva, haven't you found it?" Sha Monk asked hurriedly.
"We found it. The reincarnation of this lion spirit is in a place called Ningyu Village. You can go and find it on your own."
Hearing this, Sha Monk showed joy on his face, clasped his hands and thanked, "Thank you Bodhisattva. I will take my leave, little monk."
Later, Sha Monk left Jiuhua Mountain and returned to Liusha River.
After Sha Monk left, Hedgehog Spirit had been waiting for him to return in the cabin, feeling extremely tormented every hour.
When he heard the footsteps outside the door, the hedgehog spirit hurriedly opened the door and rushed out of the cabin. When he saw it was Sha Seng, he couldn't wait to ask, "Master, have you asked?"
