The next day, Sun Houhou borrowed a boat again, followed Sha Monk's instructions and sailed upstream, then turned back to the commercial road.
There are many monsters in the barren mountains and ridges, so it is better to take the high road for peace of mind.
However, the current of Liusha River was very fast and it was really difficult for the boat to move. After paddling for a long time, it only moved a few miles.
Xuan Yan decided to cross the river first.
…
Cross the river and walk along the river.
Monkey Sun said he was sending the boat back, but in fact he threw it away not long after.
Yamazaki used magic to restore the broken boat to its original shape, named Scorpio, and instructed him to send the boat back.
Named Fan Zhen, went to another ship owner to compensate, and also bought a horse to ask Xuan Yan to beg for help.
Otherwise, it would be nearly 30 million miles to walk, and God knows how long.
…
In the evening, Xuan Yan checked into the Xingchen Courtyard, and Fan Zhen also brought back a white horse.
The next morning, when Xuan Yan left, he asked Fan Zhen for alms and took the white horse away.
During the day on the road, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng paid attention to collecting water plants along the way.
When I checked into Xingchen Courtyard at night, the water plants were piled in the stable.
Sha Monkey washes clothes, and Sun Houhou shows sympathy to the person who washes clothes for him, so Zhu Bajie has an extra job of feeding the horses.
Zhu Bajie wanted to express a serious protest, but when faced with Sun Houhou's Ruyi Golden Cudgel, he honestly compromised.
…
morning.
Xuan Yan and his party set off and walked along the river beach. As they reached the upper reaches of the Liusha River, the water became gentle.
Halfway up the mountain in the distance, a huge manor came into everyone's eyes, with tall doors, bright tiles, pavilions and pavilions, and it looked extraordinary.
Especially the endless fields on the river bank make the manor even more domineering.
Before Xuan Yan and others could approach, patrolling Zhuang soldiers came to check.
Seeing Monkey Sun and Zhu Bajie, they were all on guard.
"Everyone, be careful, there are monsters!"
Zhu Bajie said quickly: "It's not a monster, it's a monk!"
Xuan Yan stood up and dismounted, "Amitabha, please don't misunderstand me, donor. We came from Nanfangbuzhou and went all the way to the southwest to worship Buddha. We took a sidetrack and left the business road, so we ended up here."
"Don't make excuses. There is a ghost king causing trouble in Liusha River in the east. There is Huangfengling on the bank, which is also a monster nest. How can you get through it?"
Sun Houhou laughed and said, "Those scourges are gone, don't worry."
"What's going on!" A woman in a plain white brocade robe flew over.
"Monster!" Sun Houhou shouted, and Xuanji and others were on guard.
The woman did not hesitate and looked at her condescendingly, "Humans, monkey demons, pig demons, ghosts, and dragons?"
"I've seen Miss Bai." The young men saluted one after another.
Xuandan folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, the poor monks and disciples are just passing by here, and I hope that I can help you."
"So that's it, you are Xuan Yan." Miss Bai stood down and looked so beautiful that Zhu Bajie was immediately fascinated.
Xuan Yan didn't dare to look at it, "Exactly, I wonder where the female donor learned about it?"
Miss Bai glanced at Zhu Bajie, Sun Monkey, and finally at Little Bailong. He was the only one who could take a second look at it, but the rest were really unsightly.
"It was reported from the West Sea that in order to find Sun Monkey and Little White Dragon, a pig demon led the sword fairy to kill the monsters on several islands, and even killed a demon king."
Xuandan put his hands together and said, "Amitabha, good, good, good."
Zhu Bajie came to his senses and said, "That was all a misunderstanding."
"That's all, our sisters have stopped cannibalism long ago. No matter how good you are, Xuan Yan, we don't want you. You can go."
Miss Bai called to Zhuang Ding and they all left.
"Ah?" Xuan Yan was stunned, feeling very awkward, because he had an intuition that there was something in his words, but he just didn't realize it.
Zhu Bajie looked at him eagerly, "Master, let's go beg for alms."
Sun Houhou pinched his ear and said, "You idiot, what are you thinking about? If you want to think about it, just think about your little wife."
"It hurts, it hurts..." Zhu Bajie shouted, "Damn monkey, it's really not your ears!"
"Nonsense." Sun Houhou laughed.
Xiao Bailong asked: "Master, do you want to leave?"
"Let's go and bypass Zhuangzi." Xuan Yan no longer thought about it.
Naturally, he didn't know that Sun Houhou and Xiao Bailong were drunk and talking nonsense in the West Sea, and Xuan Yan's identity was passed on by the monsters again and again, turning it into a life experience that the monsters coveted.
In the previous life, he was the golden cicada on the bodhi tree in front of Amitabha Buddha's throne. In the previous life, he was the golden cicada, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. In this life, he was reincarnated as a human being.
Eating Xuanji has many benefits, ranging from strengthening the body and curing all kinds of diseases, to greatly improving one's cultivation and prolonging one's life, to being able to live forever and live as long as heaven and earth.
No matter how you hear this, it's all nonsense and rumors, but rumors only apply to wise men, and most monsters are not smart enough.
…
The five members of Xuanji rode away, and Yamazaki and others also followed.
Zhuang Ding checked, and Yamazaki bluntly said that he was passing by.
Zhuang Ding couldn't see the problem, but felt strange because few people usually passed by, so he used a small spell to send a letter to Zhuang Li again.
This time two women flew out, one in red and one in white, both beautiful.
The woman in red asked: "Sister, among these people, are there demons, ghosts, and what is that fresh air?"
"I'm afraid it's the spirit of an immortal." Miss Bai flew down and saluted Yamazaki and others, "I wonder if it's an immortal coming to earth!"
Yamazaki nodded, "Girl, you have good eyesight."
Miss Bai wanted to kneel down, but found that she couldn't. She suddenly realized, "Isn't the Xian family even willing to accept a gift?"
Yamazaki smiled and said: "Rituals are also cause and effect. If you have something to say, tell me directly. If you can help me, you will form a good relationship. If you can't help me, I will naturally let you know."
"I dare not hide it from the Immortal family. Our sisters are flower monsters, vine monsters, lonely wild ghosts. Fortunately, we have developed spiritual wisdom and cultivation. However, the road ahead is uncertain. We are not just where we are. We also hope that the Immortal family can give us some advice.
.”
"That's a coincidence. I can answer this question, but first, do you want to be an immortal, a Buddha, or just a monster?"
"Here, do you still want to ask the Immortal Family for advice?"
"I can't help you with this, you have to ask yourself."
The woman in red interjected, "We want to achieve success."
"Then what do you think is Zhengguo?"
"Of course it's immortality."
"Haha, you are a ghost. You can easily live tens of thousands of years. It is also possible to live a hundred thousand years. Even the immortals in the sky may not live as long as you."
"But they are better than me."
"There is cause and effect in heaven and earth. As long as you do good deeds and accumulate virtue, you will not encounter disaster. Even if you are killed, there will be another opportunity when you go to the underworld."
"Isn't there a way not to die?"
"All things are mortal. Obsessing over life and death will only give you obsessions, which will turn into demons and harm your spiritual practice. You will often die faster."
"But I'm just afraid."
"I'm afraid of death. There's nothing I can do. If you're afraid of being transformed, I can send you to the Buzhou Mountain Demon Realm. You must have heard of it."
"I've heard it before, but if we leave, these people will have nothing to rely on. If we take them with us, let alone millions of miles to get there, let's talk about how they will live after we leave!"
"It's simple. We are destined to meet each other. I know how to move mountains. If you are determined to leave here, I can move your entire Zhuangzi there."
