"Now that you have achieved something, let's go down the mountain." Ananda said straightforwardly, "Sixty-four thousand miles east from here is the Zhuzi Kingdom. There is a Pansilk Ridge there. In the ridge, there are seven spiders who have been cultivated into spirits.
The mountain is king, so go and cross them."
He Xie was slightly startled: "May I ask, Your Majesty, what crime did these seven spider spirits commit?"
Ah Dang said: "It would be a long story."
"You know, in ancient times, there were originally ten sun stars. Later, the great wizard Yi shot down nine crows, leaving only one golden crow star, which is the true fire of the sun. Today, there are nine hot springs in the world, all of which were transformed by crows.
The Zhuogu Spring in Pansi Ridge is one of the nine springs, which has the effect of purifying the physical body."
"This spring was originally the bathing pool of the Seven Immortals in Heaven. Unexpectedly, these seven spiders took over. They used this spring water to wash away the evil spirit and wanted to turn into humans. The immortals did not want to fight with it, but this Zhuogu Spring is in my hands.
In Western teachings, one cannot sit idly by and add cause and effect."
He Xie was silent for a moment and then asked: "If they are obsessed with it..."
Ananda smiled deeply: "I, the Buddha, also roar like a lion."
He Xie clasped his hands together and said, "I will obey His Majesty's decree."
Ananda looked He Xie up and down, and suddenly said: "Now that you have entered my sect and achieved enlightenment, how can you not be tonsured and change into the monastic clothes? If not, just sit down and I will tonsure you."
He Xie had known that such a day would happen sooner or later, so he calmly said: "Thank you, sir."
Half an hour later, He Xietengyun, dressed in a bright yellow cassock, with a string of Buddhist beads hanging around his neck and a shaved head, came out of Lingshan, feeling infinite emotions in his heart.
It's really the fate of man that suddenly turns him into a bald donkey.
wrong.
Now I can’t scold the bald donkey anymore, I don’t do it either…
Touching his bald head, He Xie felt melancholy in his heart.
After walking a long way, he smiled and stopped worrying about the matter. Only then did he dare to let go of his thoughts and think about the mission of this trip.
Ananda's decision to transform the seven spider spirits was obviously not without purpose.
These seven spider spirits were one of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties that Tang Sanzang experienced when he traveled to the west a thousand years later. Now that he has killed these seven spiders, wouldn't Tang Sanzang have one less difficulty?
And not only that, there is a senior brother behind these seven spider spirits, a centipede spirit whose name is Thousand-Eyed Demon Lord. His magical skills are so extraordinary that even Sun Wukong suffered a great loss.
Once He Xie kills seven spider spirits, he will most likely make the centipede spirit become his enemy as well. Let’s not consider the question of whether he can beat him or not. He just said that the first time he goes on a mission, the Buddha will let him
What is the purpose of transforming these seven spider spirits yourself?
You must know that this world is not like other worlds, where He Xie randomly tampered with the plot and changed the fate of the characters. Here, we pay attention to cause and effect and fate. He Xie does not believe that Tathagata Buddha could not calculate the fate of these seven spider spirits.
This matter is somewhat contradictory. He Xie feels that there must be a key to it that he doesn't know yet. What is it?
Full of questions, He Xietengyun headed east.
He Xie used the soaring cloud technique to cover half of the distance of more than 60,000 miles in only three hours. The speed was not unsatisfactory.
However, this speed is far inferior to Sun Wukong's Somersault Cloud. A person's somersault would take him thousands of miles, and he would arrive in a blink of an eye. Compared with the soaring cloud technique that He Xie currently masters, it is like the sky and the earth.
Cloud mud.
This is the result of He Xie's hard work in cultivating the art of Soaring Clouds to the extreme.
Although with the addition of the Double Dragon Sword and the magical ability to control swords, He Xie's cultivation and combat prowess have once again improved, but based on this alone, he knows that he is still just a low-level figure with some ability to protect himself in this ancient world.
That's all.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, he deliberately flew very high along the way. Once he encountered someone who was flying in the clouds, he would stay away and try not to meet them.
The status of the Pure Altar Envoy did give him a big backer as the Western Sect, but don’t forget how the Pheasant Spirit died. If he encountered someone who was determined to kill regardless of the situation, wouldn’t He Xie die unjustly?
So if he can still keep a low profile, he should try to be as low-key as possible.
Halfway through the road, He Xie suddenly saw an auspicious cloud rising from below, heading straight towards him.
He suddenly felt something in his heart. It was obvious that this person was here for him.
He Xie was partly doubtful and partly wary. After a moment's thought, he suddenly thought of the contradiction in the purpose of this trip, and suddenly he felt a little enlightened. He simply stopped his head and waited for the visitor.
Soon, a visitor arrived. This person was wearing a phoenix crown, with a graceful figure and an air of nobility. However, he was a familiar face - the female head of the Xiliang Kingdom who had met He Xie at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
"Is the Purifying Altar Envoy in front of you, the Reverend Bu Zheng?" The queen's red lips parted slightly, her beautiful eyes stared at He Xie, and she asked softly.
He Xie clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha is just a poor monk."
The queen smiled gently and said: "I have long heard that there is a talented person in Lingshan. Later I found out that the venerable sir and I had a chance to meet each other. It is a pity that we did not get to know each other at that time. I have always regretted it. It is really a shame to meet you today."
I'm lucky in three lifetimes."
"The poor monk is terrified." He Xiexi's words are like gold, but the smile on his face is very kind.
"Your Majesty, your Majesty, this is the territory of our Xiliang Kingdom," the Queen continued, "Your Majesty is passing through the poor land, how can I not neglect the friendship of the landowner? I would also like to ask Your Majesty to condescend to the palace, I have prepared it.
Vegetarian food and wine, I beg your venerable person to appreciate it with all your heart."
"It's a sin, it's a sin!" He Xie immediately looked apologetic, "To be honest with your majesty, the poor monk went out according to the decree of the Buddha and really didn't dare to waste time. The queen was so kind and grateful to the poor monk, but she only regretted that the poor monk was not blessed, so he could only come to apologize next time.
.”
The Queen looked at He Xie deeply. She was a little unsure whether He Xie was really "doing his official duties" or was being wary.
She originally thought it was the latter, because two Arhats had been ordered to "accidentally encounter" He Xie on his way here, but they were far away from each other by the new envoy, so the latter entrusted her to come forward.
Who would have thought that this dishonest Arhat would still reject him thousands of miles away.
"It's because I have no luck." The queen sighed softly. He Xie's refusal was very firm. She knew that talking more would be useless.
But now that the matter has come to this, we might as well speak frankly.
"May I ask, Your Majesty, what are you going to do here?" the queen asked.
He Xie had some faint fluctuations in his heart. He had a strong premonition that a shocking secret was about to be revealed in front of him.
"Follow the rule of Buddha's law and subjugate demons." He Xie said slowly.
"What kind of demon has been conquered? What kind of demon has been eliminated?" the queen asked next.
He Xie looked at the queen and said, "Please forgive me for not being able to tell the truth directly."
The queen smiled and said, "Although I am not a Westerner, I know that Buddha has always been compassionate. I, Hezhou, Xiniu, have outstanding people and are surrounded by the sound of Zen. Even the monsters in the mountains always have the heart to worship the Buddha. As far as I know,
There are no great evil monsters in the direction where the Venerable is going. The Venerable has just attained the fruition status. If he does not know the cause and effect and goes out hastily, I am afraid that he will be in trouble."
