Lightning, thunder, strong winds, and heavy rains appeared one after another in the vast Gobi desert in less than an hour. Xiao Jiang stood at the entrance of the cave and watched the rapidly gathering desert floods rushing outward from the valley outside the cave entrance. With one hand, he
Holding Sha Wu's hand and hugging Chen Yu, the difference between the two little ones quickly became apparent.
Sha Wu looked at the flood rushing down the mountain without fear. No matter how thunder, lightning, and wind roared, he held Xiao Jiang's hand extremely calmly;
Chen Yu hugged Xiao Jiang's neck tightly, hiding his little face on Xiao Jiang's shoulder with his eyes closed and motionless. However, this little guy was quite brave, and at least he didn't cry. It was rare.
Sha Seng and Tang Seng were packing up their simple beds. They didn't need to find any comfortable position, but the two children had to be a bit normal. In a pit in the cave, Zhu Gangxi had already started cooking dinner, and Ao Lie stood beside Xiao Jiang.
Side was also watching the storm. Suddenly he pointed at a rapidly moving black spot halfway up the hillside and said:
"There is someone protecting the Dharma."
Xiao Jiang had already seen clearly who was coming. He handed the two children to Ao Lie with a slight smile and said with a smile:
"A passing demon tribe just wants to take shelter from the rain. As long as she doesn't cause trouble, everyone will pretend to be fine. I will pay attention to the surrounding situation."
Ao Lie nodded and took the two children back to the cave. After a while, a person appeared in the rain curtain on the cliff outside the cave. This was a woman with a well-proportioned figure. Under the firelight at the entrance of the cave, her skin color was obviously wheat-colored.
, a big ponytail hanging down to her waist, and a set of aqua tights with no trace of water at all.
The woman glanced at Xiao Jiang and was a little surprised. She frowned when she saw Tang Monk, the others, and the two children in the cave, then clasped her fists at Xiao Jiang and said:
"Brother, my little sister is passing by here. I will stay here for a while. I will leave when I wait for Shui. I won't disturb you."
Xiao Jiang touched the ground with his feet, and a circle of stone benches rose up in front of the cave. The upper mountain wall quickly protruded outward by two or three feet, so that the rain would not affect the vicinity of the cave entrance. He sat on a stone bench and tilted his head to look at the woman and said with a smile:
"You should be chasing the three-headed python in the water, right? You are no match for him in the water, and he will no longer be your match once the water stops. Waiting for the right moment is the right choice. Girl, please sit down. It won't rain until tomorrow morning.
It won't stop. The three-headed python is hiding in the stone forest and doesn't dare to swim away from the water. I guess there are things in the stone forest that he can't bear to part with. Just wait until the water recedes."
The woman sat down in surprise. She suddenly looked at Xiao Jiang again. After looking for a while, she stood up with surprise in her eyes and said:
"Are you the Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, Monkey King, Monkey King, Monkey King of Monkey King?"
Xiao Jiang was sure that he had never seen her, but the other party actually recognized him. You must know that although there are many people in the Three Realms who know Sun Wukong, there are also many monkey monsters. It is really difficult for people who have never seen Sun Wukong to recognize him.
Come.
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"You actually know Lao Sun, well... Judging from your aura, which is somewhat similar to that of the Great Holy Bull Demon King Pingtian, could it be that you are his sister Niu Xiangxiang?"
The woman was stunned and nodded:
"Did you hear what my elder brother said about me? My elder brother often mentioned you before, saying that you were the most powerful demon in the world of demons. Recently, I heard that you were escorting the Buddhist scripture seekers of the Tang Dynasty to the west. I didn't pay attention before. I just thought of the cave.
It was only from those people inside that I guessed that you belonged to the Monkey King, the Monkey King."
Of course, the Niu Demon King would not talk about his private affairs. The reason why Xiao Jiang knew Niu Xiangxiang was because he heard about it when he went to Niu Demon City. When he accidentally met Zixia who traveled through time and space in the city, Xiao Jiang also knew some special things.
He did not stay there any longer.
Xiao Jiang said with a smile:
"Girl Niu, after all, Brother Niu and I are old acquaintances. Can you tell us why you are chasing those three giant pythons?"
The identity of Monkey King is there, it is a golden sign. Niu Xiangxiang glanced inside the cave and whispered:
"He and I were fighting over a Heavenly Blood Scripture left by the ancient demon god in the Quicksand Valley. He harassed me many times because he could move freely in the quicksand. Finally, he found the Heavenly Blood Scripture, but he did not dare to leave the valley.
Because he knows he will be blocked by me once he comes out."
Xiao Jiang looked at the distance in the rain curtain and said:
"Oh, is that flooded stone forest the Quicksand Valley? The giant python is wrapped around the stone pillars waiting for the water to recede. Well, since you can meet me, let me do you a little favor."
As he spoke, Xiao Jiang grabbed his hand and found a blood-red leather roll in his hand. He glanced at the contents of the roll, shook his head, threw it to Niu Xiangxiang and said:
"The method of blood evil is useless if you practice it. You can choose it yourself."
Xiao Jiang seemed extremely relaxed, but Niu Xiangxiang said in shock:
"Capture objects from the void, penetrate space, and have quasi-sage cultivation. No wonder you can confront the Tathagata of the West head-on."
A smile appeared at the corner of Xiao Jiang's mouth. His cultivation level cannot be calculated by pure Taoism level. Strictly speaking, his true cultivation level has not reached the quasi-sage level, but he is not afraid of the quasi-sage peak.
When he showed his ability, he was not showing off but had his own plans. Seeing Niu Xiangxiang's horrified look, he knew that things could go on. He said with a smile:
"The most important thing in the practice of the demon clan is to keep the mind. If the mind enters the devil's way, it will lose its mind and become selfless. If you don't have a self, you are not a demon. You are just a puppet of the devil.
The Heavenly Blood Sutra in your hand can allow you to reach the Dao Fruit Golden Immortal within a hundred years, but I can be 100% sure that once you enter the Dao Fruit, you will be destroyed."
Niu Xiangxiang originally planned to read the Tianxue Jing, but when she heard Xiao Jiang's words, she didn't even look at the thunder fire that came out of her hand and burned the scroll. She pouted and said:
"I don't want to be killed for practicing evil skills. Sun Dasheng, do you think I have a lot of money to cultivate to the Dao Fruit normally? You must know that if you don't enter the Dao Fruit, you will have to enter reincarnation. The five degenerates of gods and humans can only resist on their own. If you can't resist, you will die.
That’s why I came back to compete after hearing about this technique.”
Xiao Jiang opened his eyes and stared at Niu Xiangxiang. He glanced at Niu Xiangxiang's bones and forehead and said:
"With the ancient beetle bloodline, it is not a problem to cultivate to Dao Fruit, but why are the techniques you practice different from Brother Niu? He is a master who has almost reached the middle and late stages of Dao Fruit. Why are you still in the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal?"
Niu Xiangxiang was overjoyed when she heard this, and she said eagerly:
"The great sage can see my level, and I am indeed worthy of being the number one demon. I practice the method of the long-horned ox, and I need to accumulate my cultivation level step by step. My elder brother said that his cultivation level will skyrocket when he encounters adventures, so I will
So much worse than him.
By the way, we also have a brother who is wandering around without a trace, as if he wants to gain enlightenment and practice in the human world."
Xiao Jiang thought about it for a moment, then he smiled and said:
"Meeting is fate, Miss Niu. I'll give you something. You can slowly understand it. Maybe you can make a breakthrough after hundreds of years of seclusion."
