Seeing daybreak, Tang Seng, who was inconvenient because of having a child, could only ask Xiao Jiang and Ao Lie to get the customs clearance documents. After leaving Jisai Country, the Red Queen whispered in Xiao Jiang's ear:
"Master, you have messed up the matter of sacrificing Saiguo. Next is Thorny Ridge. What are you going to do with those tree demons? Behind it is Pansi Cave. Tsk, tsk, seven beautiful spider spirits. If we get the whole
Pansidong Garment Factory, your wives will be more comfortable."
Xiao Jiang's eyes lit up. The Red Queen's proposal was really good. He looked at the people who were happily on their way and said:
"I cleared away all the troubles along the way, and everyone had a leisurely walk. I just happened to go get those spiders and plant them in the space forest. Those spiders can be used to weave clothes and make clothes."
The Red Queen's words saved the tree demons of Thorn Ridge and a group of spider spirits in Pansi Cave from death. Only one hundred-eyed centipede was killed and soaked in medicinal wine. That thing is very good for treating rheumatism and bruises.
…
"How could this happen here?"
In Tang Monk's horrified voice, Zhu Ganghui and Ao Lie covered the eyes of the two children. Sha Wujing's face had turned a real livid color. He stared dumbly at a city that was collapsing everywhere.
Apart from the dark crows flying all over the sky, there are only skeletons among the broken walls and ruins.
Xiao Jiang looked at this dead city coldly. He already knew everything before entering the city, because this place is called Shituo Kingdom, and this city is also Shituo City. Originally, they could take another road to Shituoling if they went west.
But Xiao Jiang showed the way and everyone arrived at this city.
Xiao Jiang shook his head and said:
"All the people in this city were eaten by monsters, leaving only a pile of skeletons. Alas, I didn't know that there were such unbearable and terrifying things so close to Lingshan Mountain."
Zhu Ganghe shook his head and said:
"A man-eating demon is still an evil demon that eats a whole country's people. Protector Sun, such an evil demon should be a demon. The Buddha said that he would immediately become a Buddha by laying down his butcher's knife. If such a demon also laid down his butcher's knife, he would become a Buddha immediately.
?”
Xiao Jiang said:
"When I was a monster, the one hundred thousand monkeys in Huaguo Mountain even hunted animals and knew how to save seeds, let alone actively hunt humans. Monsters eating humans is inherently demonic, and shapeshifters eating humans are even more demonic beasts. This way
Whoever eats up a country is a heinous super devil.
I have never understood why I can become a Buddha by putting down the butcher's knife. Is it repentance or abandoning evil and doing good? If I were that kind of person, even if I repent at most, I would die. But I can become a Buddha just because of repentance. What if I eat it?
It would be really good if the evil deeds done by people can be wiped out."
Tang Monk's mouth that was reciting sutras suddenly stopped. He looked at the bones everywhere with a trace of confusion in his eyes. Compared with Xiao Jiang, he knew more about various Buddhist scriptures. In the past, he expressed great support for putting down the butcher's knife and becoming a Buddha immediately, because he felt that bad people
Repentance can help more people work hard to help more people for the evil they have done.
But now when he looked at the bones everywhere and listened to Xiao Jiang's words, Tang Monk became suspicious for the first time. He clasped his hands and said:
"I am a compassionate Buddha and would not let such a devil go unchecked."
He still had some hope, that is, according to the Eastern Buddhist teachings, eliminating demons is to protect the Tao. He hoped that Sakyamuni could clean up the demons here to prove that Buddhism also has a bottom line in saving evil people.
Xiao Jiang sighed and said:
"This lion and camel country has been destroyed, so we don't need to change the customs. After climbing over the mountains to the west, we are not too far from Lingshan Mountain."
What did Xiao Jiang want to do? He could have taken Tang Seng around the Lion and Camel Kingdom without passing by him. He had secretly explored the Lion and Camel Ridge a few days ago, and the Lion and Camel King who was originally here had long been unknown.
However, the golden-winged roc that sealed Wutian led tens of thousands of demon soldiers to do all kinds of evil in the mountains.
Xiao Jiang is a person who attaches great importance to family ties, but he will never take care of evil relatives. The Golden-winged Dapeng is his brother-in-law, but now in his eyes, he is a real devil, and Lingshan put it here deliberately.
Big devil.
…
Shituoling Mountain is thousands of miles wide and tens of thousands of miles long. It would take several years to get around it. Tang Seng, with his ordinary feet, had no choice but to climb over the mountains. After walking in the mountains for seven or eight days, Tang Seng in front suddenly looked at a big mountain in the distance.
After reining in the horse's head, Zhu Ganghye, who was standing next to him, shouted:
"Master, why are you stopping? We can rest for the night when we get to the foot of the mountain ahead so that we can climb that big mountain tomorrow."
Tang Monk frowned and looked at the mountain and said:
"The mountain ahead is like a prostrate lion, with a ferocious appearance and an overbearing aura. Why do I feel that it is dangerous there?"
Pulling Sha Wujing, who was carrying the child and saluting, over, he laughed and said:
"Master, is it possible that you have opened your eyes? You can actually see good and bad luck. This protector didn't say anything."
Xiao Jiang jumped forward and said with a smile:
"Just because I don't speak doesn't mean there are no monsters. It's just that I have eliminated the dangers along the way, so you guys have a lot of time to do. This time I want you to show off your skills, otherwise you will be said to have no merit when you get to Lingshan."
, Anyway, don’t worry, I can keep Sanzang and the child, you three just behave well, there are a lot of monsters in this mountain, enough for you to toss.
But next, you must remember one thing, don’t get beaten to death by monsters, do you understand?"
Ao Lie, Zhu Gangxie and Sha Seng were all bright-eyed after hearing this. They had not shown any strength during this journey. If they really arrived at Lingshan, they would be looked down upon. After they all nodded, Xiao Jiang flicked his fingers three times.
A light of inspiration fell between the eyebrows of Tang Monk and the two children. He said with a smile:
"Now it's time to have fun, Sanzang, if you remember the Heart Sutra closely, you can protect you and your child. I will always protect you secretly. As long as you are not afraid, nothing will happen."
Tang Seng trusted Xiao Jiang more than he trusted himself. He nodded and said:
"Then let Wu Ming Bajie and Wu Jing practice their skills."
Tang Monk agreed, and the three brothers began to discuss how to deal with the demons in Shituoling. After a while, Ao Lie said with a little excitement:
"Okay, that's it. Let's sneak into Shituoling in three groups. We'll capture the thief first. As long as we kill the old monster, we'll be able to kill the little monsters by then."
Xiao Jiang held the reins and said with a smile:
"You go and play. I'll take Sanzang to the foot of the mountain to rest. If you have any good news, please let me know."
Ao Lie and others happily turned into strong winds and flew away. Xiao Jiang, Tang Monk and the two boys went to the woods at the foot of the mountain. Tang Monk and the two children ate separately, while Xiao Jiang jumped to the tree crown and stared at the distance in the direction of Shituoling.
Watch the fun.
"Your Majesty asked me to patrol the mountain... Il Il Yo Il Il Yo, be careful of Sun Wukong. If you want to eat Tang Monk's meat, be sure to avoid that dead plague monkey."
