early morning.
After the fire receded, only charred trees and destroyed buildings were left in Guanyin Temple, as quiet as death. The traces of the fire seemed to have become a monument, witnessing the occurrence of this disaster.
The white dragon horse lying in the courtyard was fine, its hair was still white and shiny, and it was not affected at all.
Think about it, Ao Lie, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, if even a mere ordinary fire can injure him, he will not be favored by Buddhism and become one of the eight heavenly dragons destined by Buddhism.
“Well, I had a very comfortable sleep this time...”
In the charred black open-air wing, Tang Monk on the bed opened his eyes in a daze, stretched out lazily, his face was full of the comfort and relaxation of sleeping until he woke up naturally.
However, when he regained his composure, he saw that only the stone foundation of the wing was left. The surrounding area was scorched black, with thick smoke rising from time to time in some places. He was dumbfounded on the spot.
"Brother Sun, Guanyin Temple was fine last night, why was it burned down this morning?"
Tang Monk quickly turned to look at Cheng Long sitting in another room and asked Origin.
This is so weird!
I didn't hear any movement last night, but when I opened my eyes, the entire monastery was burned down.
"Of course it's because they wanted to burn us to death and seize your brocade cassock. Unfortunately, they ignored the direction of the wind and caused the entire monastery to be burned down." Cheng Long replied calmly.
Burning a monk in a Zen monastery was nothing to him.
Although he did not fully share the memory of the deity, he also knew that the deity was a demonic cultivator. Even if he followed the meritorious path of killing people to save the world, he would definitely have killed many people along the way.
In comparison, the dozens of monks in Guanyin Temple are completely worth mentioning.
"Ah~~How could Elder Jinchi, how could he be... so terrible! He actually set fire to death for a cassock?" Tang Monk was frightened.
Even if he saw last night that Elder Jinchi liked Bao Bao very much, he would not kill anyone and set fire to Bao Bao!
In his opinion, Elder Jinchi would have tried to buy the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff for various reasons, and then he would have just refused cruelly.
I never thought that the dignified old abbot of Guanyin Temple would be greedy and murderous.
“What’s the point? There are so many people killing their wives and sacrificing their children for their own selfish desires.”
"..."
Tang Monk was silent.
About a moment later, Tang Monk, who had regained consciousness, simply tidied up his clothes and asked: "Brother Sun, the brocade cassock is invulnerable to water and fire, so it should not be burned. Can you help me look for it?"
“No need to look for it, your cassock was given to you by a black bear last night. It was stolen. I originally wanted to chase it, but the fire was too strong last night. If I left, you would die."
Cheng Long is now a powerful person in the late stage of Hunyuan Golden Immortal, Taiyi realm. The black bear spirit stole the cassock, and he watched the whole process, so there was no need to rush to retrieve the cassock.
And what he was worried about was not the fire that spread throughout the Zen monastery, but the people behind the journey to the West.
He would not let Tang Monk be killed until he met Empress Pingxin and confirmed whether she was involved in the journey to the west and what her purpose was.
After all, escorting Tang Monk to Lingshan to obtain scriptures can earn a lot of merit. Whether it is used to improve his cultivation or injected into the golden cudgel, it will be of great benefit.
Of course.
If Empress Pingxin's request is great and benefits herself or the human race, then he doesn't mind rebelling and secretly gives Tang Monk a stick to end the game of Journey to the West early.
Tang Monk is the tenth reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and he is also the one destined to succeed in learning the scriptures. The previous nine lives were just a preview. Every time he passed by the Liusha River, he was eaten by Sha Monk, and his skull was worn into a necklace. Wear it on your body.
It has to be said that the former rolling curtain general was really resentful. Just because he accidentally broke a glass cup at the Peach Festival, he was demoted to the Liusha River and had his chest pierced with a flying sword once every seven days. I was left with more than a hundred threats and suffered endless pain.
Although Bajie was tricked and given birth to the wrong pig, he would not have suffered such torture.
Little Bailong was even more happy. He was just cuckolded and then demoted to Yingchou Stream to wait for the pilgrims to arrive.
"Brother Sun, where is the bear you mentioned now?"
Monk Tang didn't care about other items, but the brocade cassock and nine-ring tin staff given by Guanyin could not be lost, because these two treasures were to be worn when arriving at Daleiyin Temple. They were necessary projects for face, and secondly, they could also protect own safety.
The brocade cassock is invulnerable to water and fire, and can protect oneself and repel insects. Wearing the cassock, you will not fall into perdition or hell. It is equivalent to carrying a gold medal for immunity from death. You are not afraid of the accidental death of the body. It has a bull's head and a horse's face, and is impermanent in black and white. Even the seducers from hell won’t come up to seduce Tang Monk’s soul. This is This gave Buddhism the opportunity to resurrect Tang Monk's physical body...
"Heifeng Ridge, on the way to the west, pack up and set off!"
Cheng Long stretched out his hand and pointed to the endless mountains to the west. , Tang Seng nodded, and then came to an open space alone to solve personal problems.
This kind of thing will not be described in the original novel of Journey to the West or in the film and television series, but the Tang Monk in front of him is a mortal with no power to restrain a chicken, and it is inevitable that he will eat, drink, and defecate.
……
Heifeng Ridge.
The black bear spirit wearing a brocade cassock was looking at Elder Jinchi in front of him with an embarrassed expression.
During the time it moved here, it got closer to Elder Jinchi.
Because Black Bear is an authentic Taoist practitioner and has been influenced by Buddhism, he learned that there was a Guanyin Temple at the foot of the mountain, so he took a look at it curiously. It happened that Elder Jinchi had many interactions with monsters, and he liked Black Bear Spirit. He specialized in studying Buddhist scriptures and talked with them.
As soon as they went back and forth, the two became good friends.
I ran to the Zen monastery that caught fire last night and found that I really liked this brocade cassock. I have been wearing it until now. However, I was caught by the awakened Elder Jinchi. As a knowledgeable and sensible Qingxiu otaku, it is inevitable that It's a bit embarrassing.
“You shameless bear! You have wasted the more than a hundred days of friendship between you and me. I usually treat you well when you come to my place, but now you actually robbed a poor monk... ..."
"Haha, brother Jinchi, brother Jinchi..." The black bear spirit scratched his face in embarrassment. He scratched his head and said: "Don't I, Lao Hei, like your cassock? How about you bear the pain and give it to me? How about I exchange good things with you and extend your life for hundreds of years?"
"Haha, give me the treasure in exchange? Don't I know how to find the life-extending spiritual thing by myself?"
Elder Jinchi smiled coldly and said: "Do you know that this cassock is a priceless treasure given by the Bodhisattva himself? Can it be compared to the spiritual fruit elixir that only extends life for hundreds of years?"
Black Bear Spirit's words , which made Jin Chi very disdainful. As he said, there are many life-extending spiritual things in the world of Journey to the West. Anyone who has some cultivation and dares to take risks can find some in the deep mountains and old forests.
Having lived for more than two hundred and seventy years, he is well-informed and knows very well that extending one's life does not necessarily require hard training. If one is lucky and finds a treasure of heaven and earth, he can even ascend in the daytime.
Looking at Elder Jinchi, who was unable to get enough of the oil and salt, the black bear spirit couldn't help but scratch his head and ears anxiously.
Suddenly, Black Bear Spirit's eyes suddenly lit up and he said: "Brother Jinchi, I saved your life last night. If I hadn't arrived in time and brought you out of the burning house, what would you have done now? It has been reduced to ashes along with the Guanyin Temple. Isn’t it too much to give you a cassock as a reward?”
"Wha, what? The Guanyin Temple was burned down?"
Elder Jinchi was stunned, obviously he couldn't believe his ears, even though he agreed with his disciples to set fire and kill people last night.
But what he agreed to was to burn down a wing!
How did it become a whole Zen courtyard?
“Can I still lie to you?”
As he spoke, the black bear spirit drew a circle in front of his face and used the round light technique to reflect the true picture of Guanyin Temple.
Looking at the dark Zen courtyard with scattered smoke in the picture, Elder Jinchi was completely confused. His gold, his cassocks, and his treasures were all in the courtyard!
This fire is not burning the temple, but his lifeblood!
"Look, if I hadn't taken action last night, you would have turned into charcoal like those little monks." The black bear spirit waved away the round light technique and occupied the brocade cassocks with peace of mind. Saving a life is better than building a seven-level pagoda, and taking a piece of cassock as a reward is not too much.
"..."
Jin Chi was stunned for a long time, and slowly said: "Well, you Xiong Zan, I was almost fooled by you! My cassock is invulnerable to water and fire. Even without you, I wouldn't be able to do it. He was burned to death. Please return the cassock quickly. Give it to me, this is the only one I have.”
“Ah this~~this...I want to wear it for a while, and let me wear it for a while...”
Black Bear Jingshi’s sophistry. To no avail, I could only plead humbly.
It does not dare to occupy the cassock given by Guanyin. After all, after a while, the lady Guanyin will take it to Luojia Mountain to be a guard bear.
You must be more honest when working in a Bodhisattva dojo.
It didn’t want its bear paw to be chopped off again. It lost its bear paw twice in a row and spent a lot of life to grow it back. The state of Taiyi Golden Immortal in the middle stage was a bit unstable.
If you do it again, you will really fall to the early stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal.
"Okay, I'll let you wear it for another quarter of an hour."
Jinchi knew how powerful the black bear spirit was, and he couldn't pull the cassock away from the other party, so he could only let the other party have fun.
"Okay, okay!!"
The black bear spirit nodded repeatedly, regardless of whether it was a quarter of an hour or not.
He just wanted to wear it for a while now. Looking at the sparkling cassock on his body, the more he looked at it, the more he liked it. He would spin around in circles from time to time, just like a child.
Jin Chi kept urging, trying to get the other party to take off the cassock and return it.
Just when one person and one bear were struggling to the limit, a little demon hurriedly ran from outside to report.
"Report! Your Majesty, a monk leading a horse and a mountain god came to the door, asking you to send the cassock out respectfully."
"Who is so bold?"
Black Bear was frightened, but he came anyway.
“I don’t know.”
The little demon in the transformation realm shook his head repeatedly.
"The person coming from outside should be Tang Sanzang, the mountain god..." Elder Jinchi on the side said. Forgive him for his ignorance, he didn't see Cheng Long's true identity last night, and thought he was also a monk.
"No matter what kind of mountain god he is, if he dares to be arrogant in Heifeng Ridge, I will beat him until he doesn't even recognize him." Black Bear Jing was dressed in cassock and took the black tassel gun beside him. , shouted loudly: "Little Guys, follow me out to meet them.”
“Yes, Your Majesty...”
“Yes, Your Majesty...”
Little monsters from all walks of life. chanted in response.
Outside Batu Caves.
Cheng Long sat on a big rock, looked back at Tang Monk and White Dragon Horse not far away, and quietly waited for the black bear spirit to appear.
Not long after, a commotion came from the Batu Caves.
Following this, Cheng Long and Tang Seng saw a group of strange little demons rushing out of the Batu Cave.
They are all fierce and evil, and many of them still exude evil spirits.
These little monsters are, after all, temporary subordinates recruited by the black bear spirit. It is normal for the good to be mixed. In fact, even in Beiju Luzhou, there are very few monsters that do not eat people or kill animals.
The real anomaly is the black bear spirit.
"Where did you come from as a wild mountain god? How dare you act wild here!" The black bear spirit walked over in a nondescript manner, wearing a golden cassock and holding his natural weapon.
“Wild Mountain God?”
Cheng Long almost stopped laughing when he heard this.
He is the Great Sage, the Great Sage, and the God of the Mountains of the Two Realms, but he was actually called wild by a bear.
However, although the words were irrational, they had no lethality at all. On the contrary, it was the black bear spirit's dress that made him feel particularly weird. The idiom "monkey wearing a crown" is the most appropriate way to describe it.
"You, a dark monster, are quite suitable to be a mountain god. You have rough skin and thick flesh, and you look solid."
"You little pretty boy, you actually dare to mock me, look at this. Gun! "
The black bear spirit was hit by Cheng Long, so he raised the spear in his hand and stabbed him.
This monster has some strength, but not much.
At least he couldn't make a big splash in front of Cheng Long. Fortunately, the black bear spirit liked Qingxiu and had never killed anyone. He managed to deal with it a few times before driving him into the hard stone with a stick.
“Plop!
After being hit by a stick, the black bear spirit felt that all the bones in his body were about to fall apart. After struggling to escape, he decisively knelt down and begged for mercy: “God, please forgive me, the little demon has never harmed anyone.” , I just like shiny things, so I borrowed them from Brother Jinchi to wear. I don’t know who they belong to. If they belong to you, I will take them off and give them back to you now. ”
Who doesn’t know how to act?
The famous Monkey King, the Monkey King, jumped out of the Three Realms five hundred years ago and is no longer among the Five Elements.
Now I am following Tang Monk to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures. If I don’t know what to do, my palms will be small if they are cut off again, and I might even lose my life.
So after symbolically passing the combo, Xiong Zhen, who seemed stupid but was actually shrewd, surrendered decisively.
"You know the truth!"
Cheng Long put away the golden cudgel and took the brocade cassock from the black bear spirit. Originally, he was ready to greet Tang Monk to go down the mountain, but Elder Jinchi unexpectedly He actually rushed out without dying.
"Elder, please stay!"
Jin Chi quickly ran to Cheng Long and Tang Seng, and said with a straight face: "You two are really rude. The poor monk entertained you warmly last night, but you don't know what is good and what is good." , set fire to my monastery, today If you don't give me an explanation, the poor monk will definitely report it to Guanyin Bodhisattva and ask her to come forward to seek justice."
"You want justice?"
Cheng Long narrowed his eyes and asked. Staring at Elder Jinchi slyly.
At first he had almost forgotten about the culprit, but unexpectedly, this guy still thought about the cassocks and tried to slander them for setting fire to the temple.
"Yes, the temple is destroyed, you must compensate me, and keep both the cassock and the tin staff."
Elder Jinchi actually does not care about the temple being destroyed, as long as he can get the brocade cassock and the nine-ring tin staff, You can rebuild a Zen monastery anywhere you want and continue to recruit disciples.
“Haha... you want a cassock, right?”
Bang!
Cheng Long threw out a backhand punch, and Elder Jinchi's head spun dozens of times on his neck until his neck was twisted into a twist. (End of chapter)
