One person above Qing Huang Ting

Chapter 745 Six Spiders Hidden in the Pansi Cave

He drove the thunder chariot, crossed two states, went out of Beiju, entered Xiniu, passed the Zhuzi Kingdom, climbed over the mountains and jumped over several large rivers.

Finally, I saw the warm Qi rising from the deep mountains, rising upwards. It was neither cold nor scattered, neither dry nor arid. It was warm all year round, just like the rising sun hanging in the sky and never setting.

"It does have some Tanggu atmosphere."

The thunder stopped and the god appeared. Hu Xiuwu landed on the clouds, his eyes piercing ten miles as he looked towards the source of the hot qi.

The hot qi came from a mountain that was higher than the other mountains. It seemed that because of the warm qi, the mountain was covered with dense green plants, without any yellowing or withering colors. There were no flowers hiding from the cold or young branches avoiding the wind. Hundreds of flowers bloomed in all colors, and ancient trees competed for spring, lush and green.

Even wild animals, birds and fish in the water are more numerous than on other hills.

In the lush forest on the mountainside, there is a temple built next to a stone bridge beside a stream. There are several thatched huts in the courtyard. Although they are thatched huts, the doors have door knockers and the window frames are carved, which makes them elegant and precious in details.

Just like the Lion Camel Cave in Lion Camel Ridge that Hu Xiuwu had seen before, although the mounts from heaven were stranded in the mountains, they still had the leisure and elegance to take care of the caves where they stayed, adding color to the caves and maintaining the style of the heavens.

It is just like the children of a noble family who have come down to the countryside. Even though they have fallen into poverty, they still retain the lifestyle of "never tired of fine food, never tired of delicate dishes".

Hu Xiuwu landed in the nunnery.

It's a pity that this nunnery is now in decline, with several thatched roofs broken and walls collapsed, the thatch trampled into the mud, and the blue bricks broken into broken stones. Without anyone to maintain it, it looks desolate and dilapidated, and one can only vaguely see its former elegance and charm.

Although no one takes care of the nunnery, there are still signs of life there.

Several huts showed obvious signs of someone breaking into them. Most of the supplies in the huts had been taken away, the doors had been lifted up, the windows were leaning against the window holes, and some clean thatch had been collected. Embroidered shoe prints of varying sizes could be seen everywhere.

Without much experience in hunting, Hu Xiuwu followed the trail and walked into the dense forest from the overgrown back door of the nunnery.

A small path cleared out of the forest leads directly to the belly of the mountain and to a cave.

There is a plaque on the cave with the words "Pansi Cave" inscribed on it. The characters are elegant and graceful, and it is obvious that they were written by a scholar who has achieved success in calligraphy.

Pansidian Cave in Pansidian Ridge.

This is the Pansi Cave, one of the eighty-one tribulations. This cave originally belonged to the fairy of Kunlun, but was later occupied by seven spider spirits.

After the pilgrims arrived at the Spider Cave, like all the female fairies, they wanted to have a taste of the hot and sticky elixir of immortality when Monk Tang came to beg for alms.

In the end, the seven spider spirits were defeated by Sun Wukong and fled to Huanghua Temple to seek refuge with their sworn brother, the Hundred-Eyed Demon Lord.

Later, the seven spider spirits were killed by Sun Wukong, and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King was also captured by the son of Vimala Bodhisattva, Mao Ri Xing Jun, and became the boy guarding the gate of Qianhua Cave in Ziyun Mountain of the centipede.

This is the ending of Journey to the West.

In Black Myth, during the battle at Huanghua Temple, Sun Wukong went to deal with the Hundred-Eyed Demon King, and handed the seven spider spirits over to Zhu Bajie to deal with.

Originally, the fairies of Kunlun came down to earth and reincarnated as spider spirits to experience tribulations. The Queen Mother of the West gave Lingshan face and put together 81 tribulations. After the tribulations, the souls will naturally return to the Queen Mother of the West, asking her to reshape their bodies.

But the fairies of Kunlun should never, ever break the rules and have children. In the game, Zi Zhu'er has six daughters, but only the youngest one is Zi Zhu'er's biological daughter, the rest are the daughters of her older sisters.

As the Marshal of the Heavenly Peng, Zhu Bajie knew the strictness and cleanliness of the Queen Mother of the West, and knew that these seven fairies who were reincarnated spider spirits would never be able to return to Kunlun.

The fairies broke the rules and gave birth to children, which was a taboo in Kunlun. The Queen Mother of the West would never accept fairies who had lost their purity. They could only enter the underworld, fall into reincarnation, and struggle in the mortal world without liberation.

Zhu Bajie started to rake and killed six of them, leaving only Zi Zhu'er, the youngest of the seven spider spirits, who had had a moment of pleasure with him. He spared her out of pity. When he returned to report to his eldest brother, he did not dare to mention the matter.

The reason why Zhu Bajie let Zi Zhu'er go was not only because he had had sexual intercourse with Zi Zhu'er, but also because he recognized her as an old acquaintance in the Heavenly Palace and a fairy from Kunlun.

When Zhu Bajie was in Heaven, he never liked Zi Zhu'er. When he was in Heaven, Zhu Bajie was the Marshal of the Heavenly Peng. He held a high position and was tough and handsome. There were countless fairies who liked and loved him. Sometimes what he said to Sun Wukong was not all self-praise, but really the truth.

But he fell into the mortal world and became a demon, separated from gods and demons. His old friends avoided him like the plague and he suffered from the cold and warmth. But when he arrived at Pansiling, there was still one person who remained the same and loved him deeply.

How could Zhu Bajie not be touched, so he let Zi Zhu'er go, and from then on, he dared not go near Pansiling again, for fear that the matter would be exposed.

Puff puff!

Thinking about Zi Zhu'er and Zhu Bajie, I entered the Pansi Cave and five white streaks attacked me from the darkness.

Hu Xiuwu's steps remained unchanged, and the golden light naturally rose and then disappeared, as if it was broken by the five white rays.

The sticky white silk, as thick as a finger, stuck to the thin golden light shield.

The front end stuck to the golden light shield, and the back end was swung up and circled around Hu Xiuwu several times, tying up the golden light shield, and then flexibly tied it to the stone pillars and stalagmites in the Pansi Cave.

"Is it spider silk?" Hu Xiuwu looked at the white rope stuck to the protective aura and waited and watched what would happen without making any move.

Spider silk is extremely resilient. A spider silk as thick as a finger is hundreds of times stronger than a steel chain and cannot be broken by a knife.

Therefore, Hu Xiuwu, who was wrapped in spider silk, gave a sense of security to the little demon who was putting spider silk in the dark.

"Hey~, where did these thieves come from? How dare they trespass into the Pansi Cave?" There were fierce female voices overlapping and echoing in the Pansi Cave, howling shrilly like evil spirits from hell.

However, Hu Xiuwu could hear the harshness and immaturity in the voice.

Hu Xiuwu just found it funny, and as if he was playing house with a child, he coaxed her, "I heard there was a spring in the Pansi Cave, so I came here to take a look. I never thought there was someone in the cave?"

"How dare you come and think of Zhuo Guquan? You don't know whether you live or die! Leave now!"

"You are showing your weakness."

Although he thought so, Hu Xiuwu pretended to be terrified and said, "I have an important matter and must see Zhuo Guquan. Please be lenient, Your Majesty. I am willing to offer tribute."

"What tribute?"

"Fifth sister, shut up! We agreed that I'm the only one who can speak."

"Sister, he said he has a tribute. If he has the elixir, he can save mother."

"Shut up, Xiaosan, we've made a deal. I'm the only one who can speak!"

A group of kids started quarreling among themselves before they even got the things.

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"Ouch!" "I was wrong." "Mother, it was my sister's idea." "Traitor, Fourth Brother." "Why should I be beaten too?"

"I wonder who this immortal is? Why is he teasing my daughters here?"

She had a graceful figure and a pretty but pale and sickly face, which made me feel sorry for her. However, with her hands on her waist and her posture upright, she remained dignified and elegant, looking like a lady from a wealthy family.

Surrounding her were five little girls in palace costumes, who only reached her waist. Some of them were lively, some were heroic, some were charming, some were naughty, and some were acting like adults, full of majesty.

But the same thing was that they were all disheveled, with their smooth, white bellies exposed. This was not caused by their playfulness, but to release spider silk.

The spider spirits in Journey to the West actually follow the prototype of spider creatures. Even the seven spider spirits that captured Tang Monk had to take off the handkerchiefs around their waists and release spider silk through their belly buttons.

When Hu Xiuwu found out that the parents from the opposite side had arrived, he stopped pretending. A golden light flashed, and the spider silk was immediately ignited.

The red flames followed the silk thread, burning a web of fire, burning the five spider silk strands until not even ashes were left.

Hu Xiuwu looked at the person who came and said, "Are you Zi Zhu'er?"

Unlike the old and frail appearance in the game, although Zi Zhu'er is now sick and looks as if she has not recovered from a serious injury, her pretty face of a fairy from heaven can still be seen.

"That's right." Zi Zhu'er bowed slightly, and the remaining five girls glared at Hu Xiuwu, realizing that they had been deceived by this outsider.

Hu Xiuwu said: "After all, she is a fairy from heaven, so she is very polite."

"I want to go to the Zhuo Gu Spring. Please lead the way."

Since Zi Zhu'er showed up, Hu Xiuwu confessed his purpose.

"You are so rude. You broke into my house and stole my things."

"Mother relies on the Zhuo Gu Spring to recuperate. If you take the Zhuo Gu Spring away, what will happen to my mother?"

The fourth sister, the bravest of the five sisters, rushed to her mother, her eyes wide open, and pointed at Hu Xiuwu with her hands on her hips.

The other sisters followed the fourth sister's footsteps and stood in front of Zi Zhu'er with their hands spread out. Even a small spider crawled out of Zi Zhu'er's chest.

That was Zi Zhu'er's youngest daughter, her daughter with Zhu Bajie.

Hu Xiuwu praised: "You are indeed filial."

"Fourth sister, please don't be rude." Zi Zhu'er pulled her daughters back, worried that Hu Xiuwu would vent his anger on his daughters, so she scolded them, "If the Immortal wants the Washing Spring, we mother and daughter are of course willing to offer it with both hands."

Hu Xiuwu shrugged: "Why do I look like a bad guy?"

"I only want the Zhuo Gu Spring. As for Zi Zhu'er's injuries, I can also treat them. You spiders can also join my team."

Zi Zhu'er was a little hesitant, mainly because she didn't trust the credibility of the gods.

She was afraid that after Hu Xiuwu got the Zhuo Gu Spring, he would turn around and refine them into elixirs.
