The honest voice of the second senior brother came to his ears, and Li Zhi slowly opened his eyes.
I was lying in a soft grass, looking up at the sky. It was night time, with cool breeze and starry sky.
"Uncle Clan, First Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, are you all okay?"
Li Zhi took an internal look at his body and found that everything was normal. All the meridians and acupuncture points were intact, and the "Cangming Jue" was running freely and endlessly.
How could this happen?
Mo Wen and Chun Wu in the sea of consciousness unexpectedly went into seclusion at the same time, and Li Zhi was unable to ask them what happened.
"Junior brother, we are all fine. Fortunately, you reminded me that I closed my eyes in time. Otherwise, such a bad wind would have blinded my old Sun's tricks."
"I was just blown away thousands of miles by that terrifying strong wind. Fortunately, my old grandson is strong enough, and Idiot and Bailongma suffered a lot."
Sun Wukong took over the conversation and said, with a gloating tone, which indicated that nothing serious happened to him.
"Junior brother, what happened? Then where did King Huang Feng go? We were all blown away by the strong wind, and it took several hours to wake up. When we came back, we found you unconscious, but the master was there.
I was meditating and chanting sutras."
Zhu Bajie’s head is two times bigger than usual, and there are still scratches on his forehead. It seems that he has endured a lot of hardship.
"I don't know what happened. I just remember that after the strong wind, the Yellow Wind King wanted to eat me. I was seriously injured and unable to resist, and then... and then I no longer have any memory."
Li Zhi raised his hands and found that they were unscathed.
However, he clearly remembered that his hands and feet were deeply embedded in the rocks. Under the "Samadhi Divine Wind", his limbs were torn apart?
"Amitabha, when I woke up, I found Jiulang lying unconscious on the ground, so I hurriedly brought him here."
"It's a pity that I don't have any skills as a teacher and I can't save Jiulang. I can only read scriptures and pray for your safe return. I also hope that Jiulang wakes up soon."
Tang Seng's face did not show the slightest joy of surviving the disaster, but on the contrary, there was a bit of sadness.
For the first time, I felt that I was so small and helpless. If I had the ability to reach heaven and earth, wouldn't I be able to protect Jiulang?
Li Zhi turned over and sat up, looked around, and found that he was still on the Huangfengling Mountains in the Eight Hundred Miles, not far from here, where the battle took place during the day.
"Uncle, senior brother, second senior brother, I can't feel any monsters here anymore. Isn't this too weird?"
"If you don't feel tired, let's travel overnight. It would be better to leave Huangfengling as soon as possible."
Although everyone was safe and sound, Li Zhi still had doubts in his heart.
The "Samadhi Divine Wind" was really powerful. He couldn't figure out how he escaped this disaster, but he didn't want to stay here any longer.
If the Yellow Wind King comes back, I'm afraid their fate will be even more tragic. They really can't deal with that "Samadhi Kamikaze".
The white dragon horse was also injured and was inconvenient to carry Tang Seng. Fortunately, Tang Seng was unscathed and walked ahead on foot.
Four people and one horse, heading west at night.
……
What Li Zhi and the others didn't know was that during the day today, after the "Samadhi Divine Wind" passed, the Buddhist Lingji Bodhisattva once came here.
Unfortunately, at that time, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Bai Longma were all blown away by the "Samadhi Divine Wind", while Li Zhi and Tang Seng were unconscious.
The disaster in Huangfengling was expected. Tang Monk and his disciples were surrounded by protective Jialan. Naturally, the big guys in Buddhism knew exactly where the pilgrims had gone.
Lingji Bodhisattva was the only person scheduled to solve the problem in Huangfengling. It was about time, but he still did not wait for the Buddhist team to ask for help.
Therefore, Lingji Bodhisattva, who could not sit still, took the initiative to come to Huangfengling.
What was displayed in front of Lingji Bodhisattva was the tragic image after the "Samadhi Divine Wind". He used magic to save the unconscious Tang Monk, but did not wake him up immediately.
Li Zhi, who was also unconscious, was not within the treatment range of Lingji Bodhisattva.
Lingji Bodhisattva has also heard about Li Zhi for a long time, and that was after Li Zhi at the "Shenghua Temple" in Chang'an stood up to Hui'an Monk.
However, in the eyes of Lingji Bodhisattva, Li Zhi is nothing more than an ant.
There was no such person in the established team for the journey to the west. So, even if he sneaked in by force, he was destined to be unable to reach the west. Seeing that Sun Wukong and others were not there, Lingji Bodhisattva simply started looking for the Yellow Wind King.
Relying on the mark on King Huangfeng, Lingji Bodhisattva finally found King Huangfeng, who was also unconscious in the wilderness more than three thousand miles away from Huangfengling.
After some treatment, King Huangfeng slowly opened his eyes and looked at Lingji Bodhisattva in front of him. King Huangfeng actually had halazi flowing out of his mouth?
Is this...being beaten stupid?
It turned out that "Li Zhi" punched King Huang Feng directly on the forehead.
The strength was "mastered" just right, not causing King Huang Feng's brain to explode, but completely shattering his soul.
"Who did it?"
Lingji Bodhisattva was so angry that he didn't care whether he was poisoned by "anger". He chanted a mantra and summoned today's protective Jialan.
You must know that this King Huangfeng is no ordinary monster. He was originally a yellow-haired marten who attained enlightenment at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. He ate the clear oil in the glass cup for fear that King Kong would take him.
The Tathagata felt that he did not deserve to die, and thought that it would be difficult for him to practice, so he let Lingji Bodhisattva let him go back to the mountain invisibility.
Huangfengling is just the temporary residence of King Huangfeng. After the Westward Journey team passes and accumulates merit, he will still return to Lingshan as one of the Buddhist guardian spirit beasts.
Being in the late Golden Immortal stage and being able to control the combat power of "Samadhi Divine Wind" cannot be discarded casually. How can Lingji Bodhisattva not be angry?
"Venerable Lingji, your Majesty, at that time the Great Sage Huang Feng used the 'Samadhi Divine Wind', and we had no choice but to escape desperately. As for who hurt the Great Sage Huang Feng, the little god really doesn't know——" p>

Riyushen and Jintou Jiedi were so frightened that they kept accusing them. They had just kept some distance apart, otherwise they would definitely be affected by the "Samadhi Kamikaze".
During that one meal, the entire eight hundred miles of Huangfengling was blown into darkness by the flying sand and rocks. No living thing dared to come near, and even the gods were afraid of death.
"Amitabha——"
Lingji silently recited the name of Dharma and Buddha to calm his mind a little.
He also understands the power of "Samadhi Divine Wind". If he doesn't have "Fixing Wind Pill" and "Flying Dragon Staff", he may not be able to get benefits from "Samadhi Divine Wind".
"You all go back and pay attention to the movements of Tang Seng and his disciples."
Lingji Bodhisattva had no choice but to wave away Sun Wandering God and Golden Head Revealer.
Looking at the foolish and stupid King Huang Feng, Lingji Bodhisattva didn't know what to do.
"That's all, let's take a trip to Lingshan..."
After such a big change, Lingji did not dare to be careless. Not only did they lose the merits they deserved from their journey to the west, but the key was the emergence of forces beyond their control.
You know, King Huang Feng has the strength of the late Golden Immortal, but he was beaten into this state by a punch?
Lingji is confident that he can do it, but the key is, who did it?
Although Lingji is not good at deduction, he is still at the peak of Daluo Jinxian, but even after he calculated for a long time, he was still confused.
He must inform Buddha Tathagata as soon as possible. This is considered a minor dereliction of duty on his part, and he should go to Lingshan to seek punishment.
……
Three days later, the Buddhist scripture collection team finally walked out of the 800-mile Huangfengling Mountains.
King Huang Feng, whom everyone had been worried about, never appeared again, which puzzled Li Zhi.
"If we cross Huangfengling in this way, does it disrupt the layout of the journey to the West? Did Senior Brother escape the pain of 'eye-sore'?"
Everyone else was rejoicing, but Li Zhi secretly glanced at Sun Wukong from time to time.
"Junior brother, why do you always look at me, Old Sun?"
Sun Wukong is so alert that he caught Li Zhi's eyes in a matter of seconds.
"Um... senior brother, I have something to ask you. It may involve your privacy. I don't know whether to ask or not?"
Li Zhi deliberately lowered his voice, but Zhu Bajie wisely ran forward to lead the horse.
Since the white dragon horse was injured, Tang Seng has never ridden it again. He just asked Zhu Bajie to put his luggage on the horse.
"Ask me, how come there are so many polite words between you and me?"
For Li Zhi, Sun Wukong's unreasonable affection has nothing to do with the time of acquaintance, nor the strength of both parties.
Sun Wukong just feels that Li Zhi has a natural affection for him. Even if everyone in the Three Realms may betray him, Li Zhi will not do anything to hurt him.
"Sir, can you tell me how your 'fiery eyes' came about?"
Even though they were the only two people walking behind, Li Zhi still chose to use his spiritual consciousness to communicate with Sun Wukong.
You must know that there are guardian Jialan around them all the time, and Li Zhi has made it clear that he cannot trust them.
As for Sun Wukong's "fiery eyes and golden eyes", it is known that he was refined in the Eight Diagrams Furnace of Taishang Laojun in "Tushita Palace" when he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace.
"Fire eyes and golden eyes" are good at distinguishing between truth and falsehood, and can recognize changes. At a glance, they can tell whether they are humans, ghosts, monsters, or monsters.
Li Zhi actually knew the origin of Sun Wukong's "Fire Eyes", but when he thought about Sun Wukong's eyes being injured by the "Samadhi Divine Wind" in another time and space, he couldn't help but think of the speculations of later generations.
"Why do you ask about this, my junior brother? My old Sun's 'Fire Eyes' were developed in Taishang Laojun's Bagua Furnace, and it has become a powerful skill."
Speaking of "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes", Sun Wukong was a little complacent, and his eyes even moved a few times in unison, making them shine brightly.
"Elder brother, in my opinion, your current 'fiery eyes' are just because there were too many flat peaches and golden elixirs in your body at that time, and the energy had nowhere to vent. In the Bagua furnace, you were not afraid of flames but only afraid of smoke."<
/p>
"In the end, a pair of eyes were damaged by the smoke. With the blessing of countless energies in the body, you were able to refine the 'Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes'. This is not an impressive skill, but it ruined your original eyes.
”
Li Zhi said it very sincerely, but Sun Wukong looked at Li Zhi blankly, not knowing how to answer correctly.
"Senior Brother, think about it, when you were first born, compared with the 'fiery eyes and golden eyes' now, which one was stronger or weaker?"
Li Zhi's words directly brought Sun Wukong's thoughts back to more than a thousand years ago.
He was originally a native of Dongsheng, China, from overseas, but he was transformed from a stone egg on the top of Huaguo Mountain.
When it was first born, it was as big as a ball. When it saw the wind, it grew and turned into a stone monkey, with all five senses and all four limbs.
Then he learned to crawl and walk, and bowed to all directions. Two golden lights shot into Dou Mansion, and even directly alerted the Jade Emperor in heaven, and now...
"Senior Brother, the past is gone. No matter who is right or wrong, it doesn't matter. Gods and Buddhas are only strong and weak, not right or wrong."
"If eldest brother doesn't mind it, the 'Breaking the Illusion Golden Eyes' that I practice can be considered a good eye magical power, and it may be able to relieve eldest brother's eye disease."
Seeing Sun Wukong's slightly lonely look, Li Zhi knew that he must have figured out the whole story.
Some people in later generations said that Sun Wukong was born with "golden eyes that destroy delusion", but it was refined in the Bagua furnace and became "fiery eyes and golden eyes".
Naturally, Li Zhi would not hide anything from Sun Wukong, and immediately passed all the contents of the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" to Sun Wukong through his spiritual consciousness.
During the whole process, the two of them did not stop and slowly followed Bai Longma. No one could tell what they said or did.
"Junior brother, thank you——"
This time it was no longer a teleportation of spiritual consciousness. Sun Wukong rarely put away his usual playful smile and said solemnly.
"Haha, senior brother, are you still being polite to me? However, if one day I encounter some trouble, senior brother can't just ignore it."
Seeing that Sun Wukong has fully understood the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" technique, all he needs in the future is nothing more than hard work. What level he can reach in the end depends entirely on his personal cultivation level.
The "Golden Eyes for Breaking the Illusion" is divided into seven levels, in order of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. Li Zhi has been practicing for several years, but now the great realm is still in the "Tribulation" stage, and the "Golden Eyes for Breaking the Illusion" has only reached
Only "orange" level.
In terms of his current function, it is not as good as Sun Wukong's "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes".
Li Zhi is looking forward to the results of his senior brother's training. With his cultivation level four levels higher than Li Zhi's, Sun Wukong should be able to reach the "green" level or even higher.
"Don't worry, little junior brother, unless my old grandson's soul is gone and his body is dead, no matter how much trouble he encounters, I, old sun, will definitely stand in the front and never let him be harmed at all!"
Have you ever seen Sun Wukong look so solemn?
Li Zhi was very touched. This was not obtained by a set of "Golden Eyes of Destruction" technique. He was able to understand the loneliness deep in Sun Wukong's heart.
Don't look back at the time when Sun Wukong traveled to three mountains, set foot on the Five Mountains, made friends with countless gods and Buddhas, and even betrayed the seven great sages of the demon tribe.
However, during the battle in the Heavenly Palace, Sun Wukong was bet against Tathagata Buddha and was crushed. No one at the Five Elements Mountain came forward to save him, not even anyone who stood up to say a word for him.
"Haha, does the senior brother look down on the younger brother so much? You and I work together, and the realm of Taiyi and Daluo may not be the limit for us -"
Li Zhi's vision was not comparable to that of people of this era. After jumping out of the small circle of Chang'an City and seeing the wider world outside, Li Zhi's ambitions were further expanded.
……
Walking out of Huangfengling for 800 miles, there is a vast plain ahead.
Walking at sunrise and staying at sunset, walking and practicing are the only daily routines of the Buddhist scripture gathering team. Tang Monk actually stopped riding horses from then on, euphemistically calling it physical exercise.
Li Zhi couldn't bear to see it, so he secretly passed "Five Animals Play" to Tang Seng.
Other exercises may not be suitable for Tang Monk, but "Five Animals Play" happens to be an outside-in exercise. Power is generated from form, and strength is generated from force. The strength penetrates the whole body, strengthens the muscles and bones, and condenses the energy to connect the mind.<
/p>
Li Zhi discovered that today's Tang Monk has, strictly speaking, passed the stage of "refining essence and transforming qi", and the next step is to "refining qi and transforming spirit".
Of course, that is the definition rule of Taoism, but Tang Seng practiced it from the two Buddhist scriptures brought back by Li Zhi. Unfortunately, none of the people traveling with him practiced Buddhism.
"Young junior brother, there is no need to worry about it. You must understand the principle that different paths lead to the same destination. All things in the world practice, whether they are Taoist, Buddhist, Shinto, ghost, or demon. Once you reach the realm of 'celestial beings', everything will be the same from now on."
of."
The actions of Li Zhi and Tang Seng were naturally noticed by Sun Wukong, and he unconsciously reminded them kindly.
He did not face Tang Seng directly, but wanted to let Li Zhi do this "favor".
First of all, Li Zhi and Tang Seng knew each other before, and they were both from the human race. Although they have different beliefs, at least for now it seems that they still have a close friendship.
Secondly, I don’t know whether it was due to the influence of Li Zhi or Sun Wukong’s own inherent thoughts. In his heart, he was not willing to testify to the West.
The "tightening curse" on his head became a motivation for him to practice hard day and night.
Nowadays, even if he is traveling during the day, Sun Wukong will keep his mind in the sea of consciousness and practice, leaving only a trace of consciousness to drive his body forward.
I have to say that with Li Zhi as his companion, a lot of alms work has been saved.
When encountering a crowded market, people will ask for help from the shops and stock up on necessary supplies.
If you are sleeping in the wilderness, the worst possible option is to eat some cooked food and fruits prepared in advance, or hunt on the spot.
If there is really no human habitation for hundreds or thousands of miles, Li Zhi will take care of all the begging, and his begging is actually to go back to the town he passed before to do shopping.
As a result, Li Zhi's "Rainbow Transformation Technique" has been continuously improved. Now it is easy to use it to travel thousands of miles in one breath.
Autumn passes and winter comes, another three months.
"Wukong, are we almost out of the boundary of 'Nanzhan Buzhou'?"
I left the Tang Dynasty and missed Chang'an, and traveled to all the countries to miss the Tang Dynasty. Now I have traveled more than 20,000 miles, and I am about to leave the border of Nanzhan Buzhou.
Tang Seng consciously joined the training team without surprising anyone. Even Zhu Bajie didn't say anything. Everything seemed to be so natural.
Li Zhi and Sun Wukong's daily remarks also intentionally or unintentionally talked about a lot of things about the Three Realms, such as the origin of the four continents and the distribution of great powers and forces.
Or the various stages of practice, as well as the precautions required at each stage of practice, the concepts and exercises of Buddhism, Taoism, Confucianism and hundreds of schools of thought.
Tang Seng no longer just focused on his Buddhism, but continued to explore the ideas of other sects. In this way, when he returned to Buddhism again, he had a new understanding of Buddhism.
One "Eight Great Bodhisattva Sutras", one "Kongkongzang Bodhisattva Sutra", which Li Zhi brought back from Heifeng Mountain, and one "Multi-Heart Sutra" taught by Zen Master Dewuchao, which is what Tang Monk used to practice Buddhism on a daily basis.
Basics.
"Five-Animal Play" is also one of the lessons in the morning and evening. Even when he was rushing in the wilderness, Tang Seng did not naturally play "Five-Animal Play", but he mostly used "Tiger Walk" and "Deer Walk".
Tang Seng's Buddhism became more and more profound, and his cultivation also kept pace with the day. In less than a year, he actually broke through the realm of acquired nature and entered the realm of innateness, and it was possible to "build the foundation".
……
Suddenly one day, when everyone was walking forward, they found that there was no road, and there was a huge wave of water and turbulent waves.
"Wukong, the water here is wide, the waves are deep, and there are no boats. If you want to cross to the west, I'm afraid you will have to spend a lot of trouble."
Li Zhi also stopped and looked into the distance, looking westward at the boundless water and sky.
"Brother, how wide can this river be? I can only see a hundred miles away, and the water is still surging."
"Hey, thanks to my junior brother's care, my grandson's 'fiery eyes' have become even brighter. I can see thousands of miles away at a glance. I can even go to heaven to take over the position of 'clairaudience'."
Sun Wukong obtained the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" from Li Zhi and has been practicing for more than three months. With his talent and cultivation, he can train the "Golden Eyes of Destruction" to the "green" level.
That is to say, when it breaks through the "green" level, a new skill appears in "Breaking Golden Eyes", which is "clairvoyance".
The "clairvoyance" is more than just a thousand miles, but with Sun Wukong's current cultivation level, he can only see a thousand miles.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Li Zhi suggested that Sun Wukong still retains the appearance of "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes", and the "green" level "Pulling Golden Eyes" has already exceeded the efficacy of "Fire Eyes and Golden Eyes".
"This river is actually eight hundred miles wide. Perhaps this is the boundary of 'Nanzhan Buzhou'."
"Master, Brother Monkey, Junior Brother, come and see, there is a stone monument here——"
Zhu Bajie shouted not far away.
Sure enough, there was a stone tablet standing on the bank, with text written on it, including the name of the river and four lines of mantra.
"It turns out that we have arrived here..."
Li Zhi sighed secretly when he saw Wen, and turned his gaze to Tang Monk beside him.
