Wang Mingzhen did not expect that he would find traces of an old friend in the dark shadow's lair.
This old friend is none other than the former Ghost King of Mount Tai, a member of the Nether Clan whose real name is Netherworld Jingtian.
This Netherworld Jingtian was once killed by Wang Mingzhen in the world of the Republic of China. He was also sent by Ju Ling to seize a ray of true spirit with his magical power, and his foundation was damaged.
Logically speaking, Netherworld Jing's innocent soul is damaged, and he can only cultivate to the three-star realm in this life, and has no intention of breaking through to the four-star immortal realm.
But now, this Netherworld Jingtian is at the early stage of six-star cultivation. This discovery almost made Wang Mingzhen's jaw drop.
Obviously, after this Netherworld Jingtian left the world of the Republic of China, he received huge opportunities, and was able to repair his foundation and make great progress.
Wang Mingzhen was also quite keen on the opportunity of this old friend. I guess with Youming Jingtian's hospitality, he probably wouldn't mind sharing the opportunity with him.
According to Wang Mingzhen's observation, there are about thirty of these outsiders. The strongest among them are in the early six-star stage, and the weakest are in the early five-star stage. They are all considered masters.
Wang Mingzhen thought to himself that with his current strength, it would be easy to deal with these people.
Wang Mingzhen grabbed it with one claw, and the entire space was imprisoned. You Ming Jingtian and others were unable to move as they were caught in his palm.
Then, Wang Mingzhen cut through the void again and returned to the City God's Domain. He left quietly, just as he came gently, and waved gently, taking away the mastermind behind the scenes.
Not to mention how Wang Mingzhen dealt with Youming Jingtian and others, Xuanzang's master and apprentice finally arrived at the border of Liusha River after months of sleeping in the open air and long journey.
The 800-mile quicksand river is 3,000 meters deep. Goose feathers cannot float and reed flowers sink to the bottom. This 800-mile quicksand river is difficult to find and difficult for birds to cross, blocking Xuanzang's master and disciples' westward journey.
Just when Xuanzang and his disciples were looking at the river and sighing, they saw that the Liusha River was surging like mountains, and the waves were rolling like ridges, and a demon broke out of the water. It was the general who was demoted to the mortal world by the heaven.
Looking at Xuanzang on the shore, Juan Lian's heart palpitated. He had a vague hunch that as long as he ate that monk, his "Tao Heart Planting Demon" would be able to truly complete, condense the prototype of the Tao Fruit, and become a truly powerful person.
.
Not only that, he can also forcibly break through the restraints of the Jade Emperor's Ten Thousand Swords Penetrating the Heart, and can break free from the demonic illusion of the extraterrestrial demon king Bo Xun, understand the true meaning of the demon Buddha, and restore his true self-awareness.
Although Juan Yan's consciousness was vague, his instinct was extremely powerful. Driven by his instinct, Juan Yan rode the whirlwind and ran ashore, heading straight towards Xuanzang.
The incarnation of Wukong sensed the powerful momentum of the rolling curtain, worried about Xuanzang's safety, and quickly hugged Xuanzang and retreated.
Zhu Bajie has successfully practiced the "Dream Heart Sutra" and is often in a state of sleeping and waking. His mind is incomparably in line with the way of heaven, and his sense of danger is dozens or hundreds of times that of practitioners of the same level.
Sensing the deep evil energy contained in the roller blind, Zhu Bajie instinctively put down his burden, raised the nine-tooth rake, and looked at the roller blind's head, but it was blocked by the roller blind's royal staff.
The two of them were on the bank of the Liusha River, each acting as a hero. This one was once the leader of the Four Saints of the North Pole, the Grand Marshal of the Sky; the other was the front guard of the Jade Emperor, the Great General of the Rolling Curtain.
This one went to explore the clawed dragon, and the other held a staff with a molar elephant, stretched out four feet wide, and penetrated into the windward fortress. This one had no head and no face to catch, and the other one had no chaos and no space.
The two of them went back and forth, fighting for twenty rounds, with no winner or loser. Now that he has practiced both Buddhism and Demonism, his cultivation is even better, but his consciousness is hazy and he can only use one-tenth of his abilities.
Even so, Zhu Bajie still had to use all his strength to block the rolling curtain's attack and barely maintain an undefeated situation.
But the incarnation of Wukong saw very clearly that in ten rounds at most, Zhu Bajie would run out of mana and be completely at a disadvantage.
Seeing this, the incarnation of Wukong said to Xuanzang: "Master, that demon has so much magical power that an idiot may not be his opponent. I'm going to help him!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the incarnation of Wukong raised the giant dragon-coiled stick and smashed it at Roller Blind's head. Roller Blind, however, did not panic, raised the treasure stick in his hand, and held the dragon-coiled stick of the incarnation of Wukong.
After the curtain became possessed, the fighting instinct seemed to be innate, and the fighting was extremely ferocious. Even if Wukong and Bajie joined forces, they could only maintain an invincible situation.
At this time, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva came from the Great Leiyin Temple in the West. Seeing how fierce the roller blind was, he quickly pulled out a willow branch, kneaded a hand and recited a mantra, and the willow branches turned into chains and wrapped around the limbs of the roller blind.
The instinct to roll up the curtain is so powerful. As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva takes action, he senses a fatal crisis approaching. Demonic energy surges all over his body. He directly transforms into Wukong and Bajie to fight back, and dives straight into the quicksand river.
Master Xuanzang and his disciples bowed to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and the incarnation of Wukong hurriedly asked: "Bodhisattva, have you ever found out the specific origin of that black shadow?"
Along the way, the master-disciple relationship between the incarnation Wukong and Xuanzang became stronger and stronger, and they naturally did not want Xuanzang to be assassinated again.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva pondered for a moment and then said: "Buddha has found out some clues. I believe that traces of the black shadow and the forces behind it will be found soon."
As soon as these words came out, Xuanzang's master and disciples breathed a sigh of relief. In order to prevent Xuanzang from being assassinated, the incarnations of Wukong and Bajie had been on high alert. Their minds were in a state of tension for a long time, and they were vaguely unable to bear it.
After a moment of silence, the incarnation of Wukong looked at Guanyin Bodhisattva and continued to ask: "Bodhisattva, do you know the origin of the demon in the river?"
Guanshiyin Bodhisattva thought for a while and explained: "This demon was originally the curtain general of the heaven, and was deeply trusted by the Jade Emperor. Hundreds of years ago, he accidentally broke the Queen Mother's beloved glass lamp and was demoted to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor.
I will be punished by ten thousand swords piercing my heart every day."
The incarnation of Wukong was stunned when he heard this, and said in confusion: "Since this roller-curtain general is a confidant of the Jade Emperor, he just broke a mere glass lamp, so he should not suffer such a serious punishment!"
"In normal times, if the curtain-rolling general had made such a mistake, he would have been scolded at most. But he was unlucky. The peach garden was stolen, and the Queen Mother was so angry that she would inevitably turn her anger on him!" Guanshiyin Bodhisattva said slowly.
.
When the incarnation Wukong heard this, his expression suddenly froze. The source of this incident turned out to be a mistake he made when he was young and frivolous!
"Namo Amitabha!" Xuanzang proclaimed the Buddha's name, looking at the Liusha River with unbearable eyes, and his whole body exuded a faint aura of compassion.
"A river of eight hundred quicksands blocks the way. I wonder if Bodhisattva can cross the river?" The incarnation of Wukong changed the subject and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Ever since he learned that the fate of General Roller Blind was closely related to his theft of the Peach Garden, the incarnation of Wukong felt embarrassed to continue attacking Roller Blind.
After all, the roller-shutter general is a poor man and an unlucky guy, so the incarnation of Wukong is naturally unwilling to continue to add insult to injury.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva first nodded, and then shook his head, which made Master Xuanzang and his disciples look puzzled.
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Guanshiyin Bodhisattva explained: "It is easy for us to cross the river, but it is extremely difficult for Xuanzang to cross the river in his mortal body!"
"The water of this Liusha River has the characteristics of weak water. Goose feathers cannot float, and reed flowers sink to the bottom, let alone a boat!"
After listening to Guanyin Bodhisattva's explanation, Master Xuanzang and his disciples couldn't help but look at each other. The Liusha River is eight hundred miles wide and tens of thousands of miles long. How much time would it take to bypass it?
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva chuckled and said, "You don't need to worry. Everything in this world is interdependent, and naturally there are things that can float on this quicksand river."
"Back then, in the first life of Jin Chanzi, he once fed the demon with his body, hoping to help Juan Yan regain his sanity. However, Juan Yan had already planted the devil's roots deeply and failed to complete his work. Even Jin Chanzi's next eight lives were all buried in Juan Yan.
In the belly of the curtain."
"But the head he left behind contains Jin Chanzi's good intentions and karma, and it can be used as a boat to cross the river."
When the incarnation Wukong heard the words, he couldn't help but respect Jin Chanzi, and quickly asked: "Bodhisattva, where are the heads of Jin Chanzi's ninth generation?"
Before Guanyin Bodhisattva could answer, the incarnation of Wukong came to his senses and murmured to himself: "Could it be the skull chain around the neck of the curtain?"
As soon as he said this, Xuanzang's face suddenly turned pale, and his eyes looking at Liusha River were filled with fear.
Although he greatly admired the noble sentiments of his predecessors, the eminent monks, who sacrificed themselves to feed demons, Xuanzang had to say that his concubine could not do it!
Due to the extraordinary practice of rolling curtains and the special nature of Liusha River, Guanyin Bodhisattva is not sure of victory due to the home field advantage, let alone the incarnation of Wukong.
After discussion, it was decided to let Zhu Bajie enter the Liusha River, draw out the rolling curtain, and then have Guanyin Bodhisattva capture him.
Zhu Bajie was once the Tianpeng Marshal, in charge of the 80,000 Tianhe Navy, and his water quality was excellent. Entering the Liusha River, he quickly found the hiding place of the rolling curtain.
The two of them were fighting each other in an instant. The demon-quenching treasure staff held the head chakra, and the nine-tooth palladium nail moved quickly. It jumped over the waves, shook the mountains and rivers, and shook the world. It was as fierce as the Tai Sui hitting the banners, and as evil as the funeral gate lifting the treasure cover.
After fighting for half an hour, Zhu Bajie gradually felt that his strength was weak and quickly retreated towards the shore. The roller blind followed closely and was led to the shore by Bajie.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has been waiting on the shore for a long time. As soon as the curtain emerged from the water, it was tightly bound by the willow branches and it was difficult to break free for a while.
Roller Blind was anxious and angry, roaring unconsciously, and the demonic energy all over his body turned into a demonic head above his head, baring its teeth and claws, and emitting bursts of demonic sounds.
The demonic sound penetrates the ears, arousing the seven emotions and six desires. It seems that there are endless demons growing in the heart, arousing inner desires and leading people to fall into the purgatory of the world of mortals.
However, after transforming into Wukong's innocent heart, the demon's magical powers were strange, but they could not do anything to him. The demon was unwilling to do anything and rushed towards Bajie.
Bajie is in charge of his own dream, and the demon breaks into it, just as his plaything. After being tortured by Bajie, the demon attacks Guanshiyin Bodhisattva.
Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva's Taoist heart has been polished for countless years and has long been pure and flawless. The devil could not shake the Taoist heart, but was damaged by the Buddha's light.
Seeing this, the demon became a little angry and angry. He ignored him and rushed towards Xuanzang with his head covered, wanting to bite his soul and pollute his soul.
After ten reincarnations, Xuanzang's physical body has been perfectly transformed into a container of human qi, and his body contains an incredible amount of human qi.
And the human nature is so overbearing that all evils cannot invade and all kinds of magic cannot touch it. As soon as the demon broke into Xuanzang's body, there was a scream, the scream was so shrill that everyone was dizzy.
The human energy in Xuanzang's body was stimulated by the demon, and it instantly shone brightly. A mysterious and mysterious aura spurted out from Xuanzang's body. The aura was bright and upright, containing endless power of thought, and instantly enveloped the demon.
"Hey, is it you?"
An inexplicable will came, and the devil, who originally lacked wisdom, instantly changed his appearance, and a powerful aura emerged from his body.
At this moment, the demon seemed to be the incarnation of desire. Just standing there, Xuanzang felt that his mind was wavering, as if he was falling into an endless abyss.
Xuanzang did not dare to be careless at all, and quickly guarded the mourning platform and recited the Heart Sutra silently. The human energy in his body seemed to be stimulated, and he also showed supreme power.
Behind Xuanzang, there seemed to be Buddhist kingdoms appearing in the heavens, and sentient beings chanting, as if the ancestor of ten thousand Buddhas had descended into the human world.
Not to be outdone, the devil chuckled and threw all his strength into the phantom of the Buddhist kingdom. In an instant, someone in the Buddhist kingdom became a demon and turned into a monster of the devil. He wanted to destroy the world and bring the Buddhist kingdom to ruins.
Fall into the abyss of hell.
There is a Buddha shining with infinite light, fighting with the demon. In just a short moment, the phantom seems to have experienced millions of years, the evolution of civilization, the cycle of life and death, and everyone is stunned.
Suddenly, a variety of strange phenomena appeared in the sky above the Liusha River. The endless black demonic energy and the immeasurable Buddha's light complemented each other, making the Liusha River even more magical.
The battle between the Buddha and the demon seemed to take a long time, but in fact it was fleeting. In the end, the demon could not defeat the Buddha and was directly evolved one by one by the Buddha's light.
Xuanzang's whole body suddenly bloomed with immeasurable brilliance, illuminating the entire Liusha River like a holy land. Under this Buddha's light, the demon also turned into ashes and dissipated between heaven and earth.
After the demon was eliminated by Xuanzang, the Buddha nature within the rolling curtain instantly awakened, and rays of Buddha light overflowed from the rolling curtain, as if a Buddha had descended.
At this time, the light of wisdom flashed in Juan Yan's confused eyes, and his eyes looked at Xuanzang full of gratitude.
It can be said that as long as the roller curtain accumulates enough knowledge, he will be able to break through the embryonic form of Taoism and become one of the most powerful people in the world.
Under the persuasion of Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, Juanlian accepted Xuanzang's disciples with the intention of repaying his kindness and became Xuanzang's third disciple.
After Xuanzang ordained the roller curtain, he gave him a Dharma name, called Wujing, also known as Monk Sha.
As for Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, he retired after his achievements, and after joining Manjusri and Samantabhadra, they hid in the dark together to protect Xuanzang's safety.
From then on, the journey to the west was complete. Xuanzang rode the white dragon horse, Sun Wukong led the way, Zhu Bajie was responsible for leading the horse, and Sha Monk was responsible for carrying the load, all the way to the west.
