In the dead of night, Xiao Jiang sat on the bed and closed his eyes to rest. Xiao Bai suddenly projected a picture and said:
"Master, I have cut two sections of ginseng fruit tree branches. Qingfeng Mingyue and the two Taoist boys are sitting under the tree and guarding it. They are probably really afraid that you will finish the fruit for them."
Xiao Jiang glanced at the screen and sneered:
"Do I care about a few fruits? I will plant a ginseng orchard by myself in the future and eat whatever I want. Besides, there are no tasks here and I am not interested in talking nonsense with them."
There was nothing to say all night. Early the next morning, Sha Wujing went to pick up the dragon and horse. Zhu Bajie also took his luggage. They said goodbye to Qingfeng Mingyue and the two Taoist boys continued westward.
"Huh, I finally left. I see that Sun Wukong is worried in his heart. Even the Jade Emperor Tathagata can't do anything to this guy. If he really bothers him at Wuzhuang Temple, I can only stare."
Over the Wuzhuang Temple, a long-bearded Taoist with a rosy face whispered in a relaxed manner. Next to him stood an old woman. She smiled and said:
"Sun Dasheng is not as scary as you think. To be honest, he still doesn't like your few fruits. I originally planned to have a good chat with him, but now it seems that I have to wait until he finishes studying."
The Taoist laughed and said:
"Mother Lishan seems to have a good impression of Sun Dasheng. Considering your personality, you can evaluate him like this, which means he is really outstanding."
The old woman is Lishan Old Mother, but this is just her appearance. It is said that she is a woman who looks like Nuwa, who is the extremely beautiful goddess of the prehistoric times.
The Taoist is Zhen Yuanzi, the ancestor of the Earth Immortal of Wuzhuang Temple. Mother Lishan said with a smile:
"If you, Great Immortal, come into contact with him, you will probably have a new understanding. In his eyes, he doesn't care at all about the things that others care about."
Zhen Yuanzi rubbed his hands and said:
"My Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth peeked out yesterday, but I couldn't sense the slightest breath of Sun Dasheng. You know, even if you are a saint, my Treasure Mirror of Heaven and Earth can also detect the breath of holy light, but how could Sun Wukong have no breath fluctuations?
In my eyes, he is just a peak Taoist cultivator, but in my heart, I feel that he is terrifying, and that terrifying aura even makes me feel scared."
"Have you forgotten what he is capable of?"
Mother Lishan smiled and said:
"He is the 366th great god on the list of gods. With the twenty-four-square divine whip in his hand, no one can beat him. Especially when he killed Queen Peacock Ming, who was in the late quasi-sage period, the six great Buddhas in the West are preparing to jointly suppress him.
, the result is still nothing, although the Jade Emperor and Laojun intervened, but his strength may not have anything to do with his cultivation."
Zhen Yuanzi frowned and said:
"How could it have nothing to do with his cultivation level? Do you mean his divine status? For a powerful person at the level of a Great Heavenly King, even if the twenty-four-direction divine whip can hit all living beings in the three realms, he should have no lethality against a sub-sage.
"
Mother Lishan looked at the sky and said:
"There's something you probably haven't heard of. That is that Sun Wukong's status on the list of gods is not fully displayed. The Jade Emperor has never explained the reason. It is estimated that his strength is related to the hidden name of the god."
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head and said:
"That's it for the time being. The West originally asked me to add another difficulty to the westbound team. If I hadn't felt something was wrong, the difficulty would have been my own.
This Sun Wukong is so mysterious and strange, can the Buddhas in the West really trust him?"
Mother Lishan said:
"If he is the key to the journey to the west to measure the calamity, then the West must trust him, and we can also guess why they have to let him join the team of people traveling to the west."
"Measure the calamity..."
Zhen Yuanzi looked to the west thoughtfully. With a move of his hand, a golden light flew out from the Wuzhuang Temple and fell into his hand. He spread his hand and a strange box appeared, from which two small doors opened on both sides.
A mirror-like object began to scan in all directions.
After a while, Zhen Yuanzi stared at the mirror and said:
"The heavenly secrets are extremely chaotic, and only a piece of pure air surrounds the team heading west for Buddhist scriptures. It seems that the key to calamity lies within the team, and
Sun Wukong may really be the protagonist of the calamity."
At this time, among the westbound team, Zhu Bajie was happily leading the way, Tang Monk rode on the white dragon horse quietly, Sha Wujing carried his luggage with a melancholy look, and only Xiao Jiang followed leisurely on a white bull.
Behind him, he was chewing on his peach with no distractions, as if nothing had happened.
…
In the Baihuling Skull Cave, a black bat spirit knelt on the ground and said to a charming woman:
"Madam Qi, Tang Monk and others have arrived at Baihu Ridge. It is said that eating Tang Monk's meat can lead to immortality, survive three disasters and five tribulations, and prevent the five declines of heaven and humans. Madam, do you have any ideas?"
The woman rolled her eyes at the bat spirit and said:
"If Tang Monk's meat really has such an effect, will it be my turn? All the gods and Buddhas will probably have to share it with him and eat it up."
The bat spirit smiled flatteringly:
"Well, rumors always get more and more sinister as they spread. It must be true that at least there are benefits to eating his meat."
The woman sneered. She was the Bone Lady of this Skull Cave. Although her cultivation level was not high, she knew a special method of transformation. Although she had not practiced here for many years, she had some understanding of the outside world.
Mrs. Bones said:
"I said that since this Tang Monk dares to travel from the East to the West, he naturally has capable people around him. Can you tell me who are the people in his team?"
Bat Spirit said:
"Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are Tang Monk's disciples, and there is Sun Wukong riding a white bull. In comparison, his dragon horse is a bit intimidating."
Mrs. Bones' face turned pale and she fell back and fell to the ground. The bat spirit hurriedly stepped forward to support Mrs. Bones and said:
"Madam, what's going on?"
"Are you really not afraid that I will die quickly? Sun Houhou's killing name is known to all three worlds. Even Kong Xuan, the first saint among the saints in the Conferred God Period, died under his whip. If I go to eat Tang Monk's meat, I guess even me
There won’t be any bone residue left.”
The bat spirit has a shallow cultivation, so naturally he doesn't know how terrifying the name Sun Wukong is in the demon world. He killed all the demons in the east. If the west was not the private land of Lingshan, he would have killed all the demon kings and demon saints in the west.
Although the White Bone Demon is not the Demon King yet, she has heard about the horror of Sun Wukong and learned that Sun Wukong is in the team heading west. Not to mention that Tang Monk's meat is not so magical, even if it is so good or even a hundred times better, who would provoke someone who just kills people for this?
The existence of terror.
In the valley of Baihuling, Xiao Jiang looked back at a cave surrounded by clouds and mist in the distance and whispered:
"A good monster is a self-aware monster. A white-bone demon is not even interested in letting me take action. But it seems that there are no powerful monsters appearing along the way. This is good. Arrive at Lingshan as soon as possible so that I can arrange the next things.
