There are countless exotic flowers and plants that thrive in the nurturing essence of heaven and earth, exuding a rich and fresh flavor everywhere.
Manjusri showed a faint smile, put his hands on his back, and walked leisurely in the Flower and Fruit Mountain, feeling the charm emanating from the surrounding flowers, plants and trees.
Before the journey to the west to measure the tribulation, he had already made an agreement with the saint not to directly intervene in the tribulation, so as to give most of the merits to Tathagata, so that he could kill the corpse based on the merits of the journey to the west after the dust of the tribulation had settled.
.
"For those two high-ranking Western Saints, it doesn't matter who is the final winner. What they want to see is a stable situation and continued growth in prestige."
"So, I did some bad things secretly and took advantage of every opportunity to improve Hanadao's luck through Sun Wukong. To the Second Sage of the West, they are just trivial things that cause trouble and are insignificant to the overall situation."
"However, you must do things with moderation and not continue to cause trouble. Otherwise, not only will the Western Second Saints Association take action to suppress it, but even the top leaders of Buddhism will unite to block the interests."
Manjusri came to the Water Curtain Cave, looked at the slightly desolate cave, and narrowed his eyes thoughtfully.
The blessed land of Huaguo Mountain is the source of the beginning of the entire calamity, and it is filled with a particularly rich flavor of calamity.
If you stop here for just a moment, you will feel the majestic smell of death, which turns into a continuous muddy phenomenon and slowly eats away at the edge of Manjusri's robe.
This is the karma actively bred by the calamity.
If ordinary living beings make some mistakes, their bodies will be directly eaten away by karma, and they will be strangled crazily during calamities.
Tens of thousands of years of practice, turned into ashes and smoke for no reason, this is the horror of calamity.
Manjusri knelt down and gently touched the seat that symbolized the Monkey King with his palm. He found that behind the ancient and desolate charm, there was still a faint trace of blood.
"How strange!"
Manjusri frowned slightly, thinking deeply.
The water curtain cave is a sanctuary for monkeys in Huaguo Mountain.
Normally, there will be many monkeys playing and resting here.
However, it is extremely empty and lonely here, without any trace of monkeys.
Is it possible that all the monkeys here have changed their personalities?
Manjusri's eyes flickered slightly, and the rich gilded light flowed quietly.
His vision suddenly changed, and he could easily penetrate the rocks and see the apes chasing and playing outside.
The wind and clouds in the sky and the earth changed accordingly, billowing black demonic energy swept in, and many roaring shadows appeared on these apes.
These phantoms look ferocious, and their bodies are covered with strange scales, vaguely exuding an extremely terrifying sense of oppression.
Obviously, these apes are not the original ones in Huaguo Mountain.
"It seems that the initial guess was wrong. I thought that Nuwa would replace these apes with demon generals. Unexpectedly, she actually covered them up by skinning them."
"No wonder, I always feel that something is wrong with the situation. It turns out that the original apes have been killed, and now those who occupy the magpie's nest are in the Golden Immortal realm. The handiwork of Nuwa is much more terrifying than imagined."
"These are the generals of the Demon Court in the past. Although they betrayed the Three-Legged Golden Crow and followed Nuwa to practice, their living habits cannot be changed."
The location of the Demon Court is far away from the sky, so it is bathed in the sunshine and stars. Therefore, most of the Demon Clan veterans like to practice in an environment with sufficient sunshine.
Although Shuilian Cave is a cave with melodious charm, there is no warm sunlight shining in, which is quite uncomfortable for these generals.
This also explains why this place is so empty and there are no traces of apes.
Shuiliandong is the source of disaster.
If you practice here, you will be eroded by karma, but your speed will increase as a result.
Manjusri has now killed three corpses and is the pinnacle of existence in the ancient world, so he can avoid the influence of such negative factors.
He looked around and found that the dust here was a little thick, so he blew lightly, and the breeze blew up the surrounding dust and threw it away to the outside world.
The waterfall flowed endlessly, and a large ball of filth suddenly flew out from it, which immediately attracted the attention of many apes.
As the sharp roar sounded, the apes came in groups, rushing in all directions.
They all showed grinning expressions, as if they were about to tear the uninvited guest into pieces.
"You bastard, get out of here!"
A burly Taiyi ape jumped outside the water curtain cave and scolded in a low voice.
His level was not enough to detect traces of Manjusri, so he thought that those who broke in unprovoked were the spirits cultivating around Huaguo Mountain.
The tens of thousands of years of practicing with Nuwa have made this ape have a particularly bad temper, and he does not pay attention to other spirits at all, so when he speaks, he is particularly unpleasant.
He put his hands on his hips, looked in the direction of the Water Curtain Cave with a fierce look on his face, and kept yelling curses.
This Immortal Family Blessed Land itself contains the ability of rules, and ordinary investigation methods cannot see the scene inside at all.
If you rush in directly and catch the culprit, you will inevitably look a little embarrassed. If you want to maintain the absolute style of the overlord, you must let the other party take the initiative to confess.
"That bastard inside, don't pretend not to hear."
"Shuilian Cave is our territory. If you break in without any reason, you should be torn into pieces."
"If you don't come out, don't blame me for being evil and cruel."
…
Keng!
The cries that echoed through the sky resounded inside the cave.
Immediately afterwards, the sharp ikebana blade swung out along the waterfall, directly cutting off the many apes that were surrounding it.
These Golden Immortals, Taiyi and his ilk didn't even have a chance to resist, and their bodies were instantly cut into countless segments.
The blood and minced meat exuded a fishy and unpleasant smell, which looked even more ferocious against the backdrop of the beautiful mountains and clear waters.
The few surviving apes were curled up and shivering, their eyes filled with fear and uneasiness.
"With such cruel methods, who is the ancestor here?"
"I've told you before, don't be too reckless."
"Whether it's life or death, leave it to fate."
Manjusri stepped out of the waves and left the Water Curtain Cave directly in front of these apes.
Seeing Manjusri's slightly indifferent eyes, these apes swallowed hard, knowing in their hearts that they had kicked an iron plate.
"Senior Manjusri, it turns out to be you."
"I have heard about the deeds of my seniors for a long time, but I didn't expect that when we meet now, we are really so majestic."
"Senior's smell is really fresh and makes me feel relaxed and happy."
In order to survive in the hands of Manjusri, many apes present began to flatter him one after another.
Manjusri frowned slightly and pointed slightly forward.
The rich light flickered quietly, causing the skin of these apes to instantly turn to ashes, revealing their true appearance hidden underneath.
It turned out to be a group of scarred wolf monsters.
"Tell me in detail, is it the will of Sage Nuwa to go to Huaguo Mountain to occupy the magpie's nest?" Manjusri asked.
A little wolf demon who looked a little childish quickly stood up and replied with extra respect: "Senior Qi, we came to Huaguo Mountain not to follow the orders of Empress Nuwa, but to follow the instructions of Empress Nuwa.
Sent by disciple Hongfu."
"Hongfu is a Daluo Jinxian with a profound realm, proficient in the cultivation of the Tao, and is good at deduction and planning. He is the right-hand man of the Nuwa Empress, and his status is far above that of the Jinfeng ancestor."
"My bloodline is the Dew Wolf from Bozhou in southern Xinjiang. We are born with the ability to skin and remove bones and replace them. Therefore, we were sent here by Hong Fu to practice and collect information about the journey to the West."
"That's it." Manjusri nodded thoughtfully.
According to the information collected by Beiming, Nuwa was seriously injured and is currently recovering from her injuries in the Wa Palace.
Nowadays, all the matters of the Demon Clan are taken care of by Hong Fu himself. It is conceivable that Nuwa no longer has suitable soldiers and horses in her hands.
Jinfeng was beheaded by Lu Ya in Jiu'an Mountain, and Po Meng was expelled from the underworld by Yulin.
Nuwa's camp was retreating steadily, and was constantly being eaten away by Manjusri.
Now, she has reached the point of being stretched thin, otherwise, how could she send Hong Fu to do these dirty things.
Thinking of this, Manjusri frowned slightly.
"Just now, I killed dozens of your kin. The grudges over this matter..."
"Senior, don't worry. Those you killed were all traitors within the clan. They took the initiative to surrender and join Nuwa's camp, which is why they drew us into the whirlpool of the struggle."
The immature little wolf demon responded quickly.
He looked at Manjusri with eyes full of gratitude, as if Manjusri was the benefactor who saved him from fire and water.
"Senior eradicated evil and helped the Lushui Wolf Clan resolve their serious problems. He is our grateful hero. How could he care about the grudges inside?"
"Okay, you are very sensible." Manjusri was particularly satisfied.
Then, he clapped his hands gently.
Many techniques were flying quietly like fireworks, and they all disappeared into the mind of the little wolf in front of him.
"These inheritance techniques were accidentally acquired by me when I was young. Although they appear to be various, they are the most suitable path of cultivation for ordinary living beings. I hope they will be helpful to you."
"Thank you, senior, for your advice."
At this moment, a white figure came from the horizon.
The overwhelming charm of compassion made Manjusri frown slightly.
He waved his hand gently, signaling these wolf monsters to leave quickly.
It is Guanyin.
The Guanyin of today is no longer the Cihang of the past.
In order to reach a higher realm, she resolutely joined the Tathagata camp and planned for this modern Buddha saddle.
Almost 80% of the entire price reduction arrangement for Journey to the West was created by Guanyin.
The slightly swaying lotus platform moved quickly towards the Huaguo Mountain.
Guanyin's eyes were deep and her mood was uneasy. She held a Yangzhi purification vase in her hand, sending out a biting cold wave.
The Yangzhi Pure Vase was a treasure that was personally rewarded by Yuanshi Tianzun when Cihang came to Kunlun Mountain. It is an innate spiritual treasure.
The inside of the bottle contains the extremely majestic waterway aura, containing hundreds of drops of Sanguang Divine Water, which is the top waterway resource in the ancient world.
In order to ensure that the aura of this treasure would always be strong, Cihang inserted the branches of ancestor Yangmei into the bottle and tempered it with the aura of the top powerhouse.
Seeing the anxious and worried expression of the other party, Manjusri smiled calmly.
"Cihang, why are you so anxious?"
"Is it possible that you are afraid that I will run away?"
