Ao Lie, the little white dragon, was driven out of the hall by the mysterious voice. Only Sun Wukong and Li Zhi were left in the hall.
Unexpectedly, the voice actually took the initiative to talk about Sun Wukong's heel - the Lingming Stone Monkey.
"What a pity. Although you are a spiritually intelligent stone monkey, your innate characteristics have been completely covered up by others for some reason, and you have not been able to use them at all."
The voice continued.
"Senior, my senior brother Xu has been tricked by someone. I wonder if senior can give me a helping hand?"
Looking at Sun Wukong's confused look, Li Zhi hurriedly took over the conversation for him and asked.
"Haha, you kid is really good at climbing along the pole. However, I only have a trace of regret here. If I am in the peak state of my body, I might try to help him restore his original nature."
"The clever stone monkey can understand changes, know the time of the sky, know the location, and move the stars to change the fight. Nowadays, only the skill of 'transformation' still exists. It seems that it is just a learned skill. In fact, it is completely putting the cart before the horse.
”
The man seemed to feel sorry for Sun Wukong but was helpless.
As he said, the two are originally from the same origin?
"In this case, please ask senior to give me some guidance on how to proceed next, so that we can have a plan."
Sun Wukong's affairs are Li Zhi's affairs. Brother Monkey doesn't know the depth of it, but Li Zhi knows a little bit about it.
Whether it was the "Monkey King" when he was causing trouble in the Heavenly Palace, or the "Fighting and Defeating Buddha" after acquiring the true scriptures and attaining enlightenment, Sun Wukong has never been able to show the characteristics of his spiritually luminous stone monkey.
From this point of view, he must have been plotted by someone, otherwise, unless Sun Wukong is not a spiritual stone monkey at all.
It’s terrifying to think about this matter carefully. Could it be that with so many great powers who are friendly to Sun Wukong, no one can see that Sun Wukong is in an abnormal state?
"It's not that there are no ways, but unfortunately it's too vague. I think he has been obsessed with his mind. If he wants to completely get rid of it, there are two ways to find it."
"First, he himself can reach the state of quasi-sage. By beheading a corpse, no matter whether he is good or evil, he will no longer be good or evil, or he will return to his origin."
"Secondly, if there is anything in the world that can cure this symptom, it must be the Twelve-grade Pure World White Lotus. Unfortunately, this lotus has disappeared since it appeared in this world."
Li Zhi smiled helplessly, but he understood everything.
But of the two strategies proposed by the other party, one may not be able to be completed even by people who have practiced cultivation for hundreds of millions of years, and the other is even more elusive. It doesn't make much difference whether they say it or not.
It is said that the Chaos Green Lotus was originally of the thirty-sixth grade, and it produced a total of five lotus seeds, namely green, white, red, black, and gold.
Among them, the green lotus seeds matured and turned into the twenty-fourth grade green lotus. Because the green lotus was too heaven-defying, it was divided into three parts as soon as it was born.
All owned by Sanqing.
The other four immature lotus seeds turned into the twelfth-grade karma red lotus, which was owned by Ancestor Styx; the twelfth-grade world-destroying black lotus was originally owned by Demon Ancestor Rahu, whose whereabouts are unknown after his death. p>
The twelfth-grade Golden Lotus of Merit and Virtue was owned by the Western Taoist Taoist Master, and was later used to suppress Buddhist luck. Unfortunately, the third-grade Golden Lotus was devoured by the Mosquito Taoist and turned into a ninth-grade Golden Lotus.
The last one is the twelfth-grade Pure World White Lotus. It has never recognized its owner, and no one knows its whereabouts.
"Even so, I have thanked my senior for his guidance on behalf of my senior brother. We have received the favor from our seniors. I wonder if there is any need for my juniors to provide me with a little help?"
Li Zhi saw that the other party was teaching the skills to Xiao Bailong and solving the puzzles of Sun Wukong. He couldn't be doing welfare for free, right?
Rather than waiting for the other party to bring it up, it is better to take the initiative and ask, at least as a junior.
"Haha, you kid, don't show off your evil thoughts in front of me. I just said it, and I don't have much time left."
"This sad thought here is also a backup weapon that I left behind back then. I didn't expect that it was actually used. Alas, it's a pity for the three tribes of Kaitian."
The voice became lower for no reason, perhaps thinking of some unbearable past event.
"Although we haven't been together for long, I feel that you are a trustworthy person worthy of trust. I have a drop of blood left for you. If possible, I hope you can help the Dragon Clan at a critical moment."
After saying that, the pressure in the entire hall suddenly dropped, and a drop of crimson blood the size of a fist seemed to come from the void and slowly floated in front of Li Zhi.
"This... no reward for no merit, how dare you accept such a generous gift from your senior!"
Even though Li Zhi only had the orange-level "Breaking Gold Eyes", he could still see that this drop of crimson blood contained huge energy. Even Sun Wukong on the side saw it, and his eyes shone with envy. p>
"Boy, you'd better accept it, so that I can leave with peace of mind. Maybe we will have a chance to meet in the future."
"Maybe within the Three Realms, maybe outside the prehistoric world, I hope you and I will be friends instead of enemies. Take care, I'll go with Zhulong..."
As soon as he finished speaking, the main hall disappeared out of thin air, and the surrounding area became bright again.
If it weren't for the fist-sized blood essence floating in front of him, Li Zhi would have suspected that everything just now was just a dream.
Candle Dragon?
The top ten divine dragons in ancient times ranked second, second only to the Ancestral Dragon, the first of all dragons.
According to rumors, the candle dragon is transformed from part of the body of the great god Pangu. It has a human face and a snake body, is red in color, and is thousands of miles long.
When you open your eyes, it's daytime, when you close your eyes, it's nighttime. The light reflected from its eyes can illuminate the underworld under the Nine Nether Yellow Spring.
Breathe in for winter, exhale for summer, and with one breath, you become a long wind that shakes the heaven and earth.
He can control the wind and rain without drinking water, eating, sleeping or resting.
……
"Junior brother, you'd better put away this drop of blood as soon as possible. Just now, I, Old Sun, have noticed that several eyes came to Liushahe to check, but they were all covered up by Old Sun."
Seeing Li Zhi still in a daze, Sun Wukong on the side reminded him hurriedly, even scratching his head in a hurry.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
"Thank you, Senior Brother——"
A "Thank you" contained a lot of Li Zhi's emotions, and Sun Wukong's status in Li Zhi's heart rose again.
You know, this is a drop of Zhulong's blood essence?
If Sun Wukong reaches out and snatches it, he will probably be able to return to the peak of Taiyi Golden Immortal very soon, or even directly break through to Daluo.
The Zhulong essence and blood entered the body and was directly collected by Li Zhi in the "Dantian", together with the flames of the "True Sun Fire".
Such a large drop of essence and blood, and the essence and blood of Zhulong, is not something that Li Zhi can easily refine now. If he is really so reckless, I am afraid that the final result will only be death by explosion.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother, are you finally willing to come out?"
The voice of Little White Dragon was heard in the distance, and it was estimated that it was at least ten miles away from here.
Li Zhi was a little puzzled. He clearly retreated outside the main hall, why did he go out so far?
"The Liusha River is a place of trouble and trouble. It's better for us to leave first."
The three of them stayed here for several days, and both Li Zhi and Xiao Bailong gained something. Only Sun Wukong accompanied his two junior brothers for a time in vain.
His state of mind was also changing invisibly, and Zhulong's words kept lingering in his mind, especially things related to his heels.
The three of them did not stay any longer, nor did they leave rashly from the water surface. Instead, they walked through the bottom of the Liusha River until they reached the bank of the West River before getting out of the water and ashore.
"Senior Brother, Junior Brother, I think it would be better for me to transform back into the White Dragon Horse. Firstly, I won't attract anyone's attention, and secondly, I can calm down and practice this 'Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Art' properly." p>
"Nine Transformations of the Divine Dragon Technique" is a completely dragon-like technique, and it is also the highest-level dragon technique that Little Bailong has ever seen in his life.
With this technique, Xiao Bailong is confident that he can improve his cultivation from the peak of Xuanxian to the realm of Golden Immortal within one year.
Those who cultivate immortality are respected for their strength, and everything else is just a cloud. How many people care about their external appearance?
Especially Xiao Bailong, he found that he was walking on the path of Buddhist scriptures in the body of a white dragon and horse, and it seemed that he was accumulating merit with every step he took?
"Everything is up to you. The senior Dragon Clan has placed his hope of revitalizing the Dragon Clan on you, Senior Brother Ao. I also hope that Senior Brother Ao will make great progress in cultivation and break the curse of the Dragon Clan as soon as possible."
Since Zhulong didn't tell Xiaobailong his identity personally, Li Zhi didn't intend to say anything else. It's not too late to talk about some things until he gets stronger.
During the Dragon-Han Tribulation, neither the Dragon Clan, the Phoenix Clan, nor the Qilin Clan could gain any advantage in the battle that lasted for thousands of years.
On the contrary, with the passing of one strong person among the three Kaitian clans, the whole clan's vitality was severely damaged, resulting in no winner in the end, and gradually became a bystander in the world.
Looking at the Three Realms today, the Dragon Clan has retreated to the four seas, the Phoenix Clan has retreated to the south of the sky, and the Qilin Clan has become an auspicious beast.
To say that the Dragon Clan is even worse, they were cursed by Heaven. After so many years, there has never been a new Great Luo Jin Immortal in the entire Dragon Clan.
After the three people landed, they identified the direction and took off to look for Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk who had set out a few days earlier.
……
Let’s break it down into two parts, let’s talk about the three masters and disciples of Tang Monk.
That day, with the help of Hui'an Monk, he used the red gourd given by Guanyin Bodhisattva as the main body and hung nine skulls on Monk Sha's neck in a circle to make a Dharma boat that could float on the Liusha River.
Monk Tang's spiritual practice was still shallow, so he naturally had to sit on the boat. Monk Sha was the one sitting here, but he was the one at the helm. Zhu Bajie originally wanted to ride the wind, but when he saw Xin Xinxi, he landed on the Dharma boat.<
/p>
Sun Wukong had already greeted Tang Monk beforehand. After the three of them abandoned the ship and landed, they first thanked Hui'an Traveler and then continued westward without stopping here.
Now that they have become senior brothers, the little bit of quarrel between Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha has naturally disappeared.
The two people could be considered strangers without fighting. They competed for five days on the banks of the Liusha River, and both were amazed by each other's abilities.
"Junior Brother Sha, how come I, Old Zhu, have never seen you when we were in Heaven?"
Zhu Bajie seems to be more comfortable without Sun Wukong around.
Master Tang Seng was walking in front, Zhu Bajie was carrying the "Shangbao Qin Golden Rake", chatting with the courageous Monk Sha who was carrying luggage.
"Second Senior Brother, I was originally a deacon in the Great Heavenly Lord's harem, and I don't like to interact with others. In addition, I came to Liusha River a long time ago, so it is normal that I did not get to know Second Senior Brother."
Monk Sha didn't seem to be very willing to talk about old things in heaven. He said a few perfunctory words and then walked a few steps to catch up with Monk Tang.
"Master, after crossing the Liusha River, we arrived at the border of Hezhou, Xiniu. From now on, there are mountains, water, and monsters. Do we need to wait for Senior Brother and the others?"
Liusha River is also a special existence. It is the dividing line between Nanzhanbuzhou and Xiniuhezhou.
When Monk Sha was punished here, it was also a clever arrangement by thoughtful people. Anyone traveling from east to west to Lingshan Mountain must pass through here.
Where did the nine skulls hanging around his neck come from?
That is the first nine lives of Tang Seng, or the nine reincarnations of Jin Chanzi. The ninth life of the monk always turned his heart to the west.
It's a pity that every time I walk to Liusha River, the monster Sha Monk who is trapped here eats him one by one.
Strangely enough, every time Monk Sha eats a pilgrim, all the other flesh and bones will melt in the mouth, but this skull is extremely hard and can float on weak water.
Upon seeing this, Monk Sha collected the skulls of these pilgrims. After he accumulated nine skulls, he pierced them into a terrifying necklace and hung them around his neck.
This time, after helping Tang Monk cross the Liusha River, the necklace made of nine skulls had completed their mission and disappeared into thin air.
The nine reincarnations were just to survive this life. Tang Seng was transported by others, so how could he not be transporting himself?
A good man in ten lives has to die miserably in nine lives. The merits accumulated every time he dies will be automatically transferred to the next life. Until now, in this tenth life, he can cross the Liusha River and reach the Western Heaven.
"No need. I have already made an agreement with Wukong. We will just go west. If we encounter any monsters that we cannot deal with, I will notify your senior brother in time and they will arrive as soon as possible."
Tang Seng touched the letter talisman in his arms. Sun Wukong secretly gave it to Tang Seng when he was leaving, and told him how to use it.
"Hey, Lao Sha, this Xiniu Hezhou and I, Lao Zhu, have also been here before. No matter what demons and ghosts he has, can't you and I, two golden immortals, still be unable to deal with them?"
In the past six months, Zhu Bajie's cultivation level has steadily improved. Especially after five days of fierce fighting with Monk Sha, he felt that his combat skills had returned to the peak. What was missing was that he had not yet reached the level of Taiyi Golden Immortal. I have to say that the environment can really change people.
With Li Zhi in the team, a trend of cultivation has already formed. Even Tang Monk "fell", let alone Zhu Bajie?
The three of them continued westward. It was almost midwinter, and the mountain wind was blowing. Except for Tang Monk, the other two were naturally not afraid of the severe cold.
Even Tang Seng, who only wanted to train his body, gritted his teeth, walked in single clothes, and made the later Monk Sha look at him.
It was only said that Xiniu Hezhou has mountains, water and monsters. However, they went out for two days in a row. Not only did they not encounter any monsters, but they saw beautiful mountains and rivers everywhere along the way.
If you can wait until spring and the flowers bloom, you can imagine how wonderful the scenery along the way will be. This is not like a place where monsters can be found. Even if there are monsters, there will probably be gods, right?
……
On this day, Master Tang and his disciples had a hasty lunch, and took advantage of the warm sunshine to continue on their way.
Since Tang Seng started practicing, his daily food intake has also increased.
It's a pity that the two people who are best at "transforming the zombie" are not in the team at this time, so the matter of transforming the zombie can only fall on the second senior brother Zhu Bajie.
"Master, I didn't have enough to eat at noon, so let's find a place to rest early tonight? You also have more time to meditate and chant sutras."
Regarding Zhu Bajie's food intake, Li Zhi kindly "examined" him. In Li Zhi's opinion, this was a disease.
In later generations, many people always liked to use Zhu Bajie as an example to deny those weight loss theories.
For example, with the exercise weight loss method, Zhu Bajie traveled a hundred thousand miles to the west, but he did not lose weight.
Another example is the diet and weight loss method. After traveling all the way to the west, the person who lived in the open air could not eat well or sleep well. How could he ever see Zhu Bajie lose weight?
It's a pity that Li Zhi gave a treatment plan, but Lao Zhu refused to do anything.
That is "cutting the stomach". As the stomach becomes smaller, the appetite will naturally become smaller.
Zhu Bajie complained softly there, but Monk Tang and Monk Sha just pretended not to hear him. How could they really meet someone in such a wilderness?
What difference does it make between taking an early rest and walking two more steps? After all, we are sleeping in the wilderness, and we can't control what we eat and drink.
As we walked, we turned a hilltop, and the sun was still high. Tang Seng, who was walking at the front, actually saw a villa?
"Wu Jing, what is that?..."
"Hahaha, Master, I, the old pig, am really a blessed person. I can have whatever I want. Now I can always have a good meal, right?"
Zhu Bajie also saw that there was a manor in the valley not far away, and he hurriedly ran over to it.
"It's such a big manor! Master, I'm afraid we really met a wealthy family——"
Monk Sha stabilized the luggage on his shoulders and felt happy in his heart, mainly because he felt sorry for Monk Tang.
Being mortal, walking on foot was not at a disadvantage to him and Zhu Bajie. Invisibly, Monk Sha felt a sense of respect for this new master.
……
"Mojiazhuang——"
When Tang Seng and his disciples arrived at this grand manor, Li Zhi and the other two people, who were thousands of miles away, had just left Liusha River.
