Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 257 Xu Qiye on the Red Dust Road, Haoshan meets the Bull Demon King again
Heavenly Court, Si Wei Mansion.

Erlang Shen sits in the first place, with seven star kings on the left and Lu Yin and Taibai Jinxing on the right.

Kui Mulang knelt in front of everyone, looking decadent.

Taibai Jinxing smiled and said, "Zhenjun, let's start."

Erlang Shen nodded and said: "Kui Mulang, the 28th star in the upper realm of the heaven, had an affair with the maid of Pixiang Palace, cannibalized the human race in the lower realm, and caused cholera in the Baoxiang Kingdom. The heavenly court is short of 13 days."

"Kui Mulang, am I wrong in what I said?"

Kui Mulang nodded heavily and replied: "Everything Zhenjun said is true."

Erlang Shen said again: "As a god, you have quite neglected your duty. You are a demon in the lower world, and you are making mischief. It is your first offense, and several Xingjuns interceded, so they punished me to go to Taishang Laojun to clean the ashes. After the merits are completed, you can return."

Cleaning up the ashes is nothing, but it may take some difficulty to complete the merits. But considering Laojun's generous character, it only takes three to five days at most before letting Kuimu Lang go back.

Lu Yin thought.

"Thank you so much, True Lord, and thank you so many Star Lords."

Kui Mulang saluted, "What about her...?"

Erlang Shen shook his head, "She is still in the world. Don't ask any more questions about the rest."

Kui Mulang's eyes moved and then he became quiet again.

A brief interrogation and conviction is basically a process. At this point, no matter how stubborn you are, you can recognize the reality.

Immediately, Tian Dinglishi escorted Kuimulang and rushed to Tushita Palace.

"Laojun is quite cheerful."

Taibai Jinxing smiled and said that the outcome of Kui Mulang had already been decided, and he was just accompanying him for a formality.

When Laojun learned about this, he told the Jade Emperor that he still lacked a dust collector in his alchemy.

Several people laughed together, chatted for a few words, and then dispersed.

Southern Zhanbuzhou.

Chang'an, the capital of the Tang Dynasty.

The popular Huangtian Temple was built by Li Shimin. Although it has not been widely publicized, some people come in to pay homage, pray for longevity, or wish for peace.

There were no temple blessings in the temple, only common people and officials coming and going. Some said it was very spiritual, and some said they had never heard of the so-called Huangtian Great Sage.

But even so, Li Shimin and Wei Zheng still try to visit once a year.

Lu Yin had nothing to do today, so he came to Nanzhan Buzhou alone to prepare to spread the world of mortals.

Attached to the statue, Lu Yin saw everyone who came to worship.

Well, it's not good for those who are rich and noble, it's not good for those who are naturally sad, and it's not good for those who are widowed and lonely.

To pass on this great law of the world, one must be a well-behaved person, be it a scholar or a cook.

I want to be a middle-class person, the kind who can't achieve anything high or low.

After looking at them for two or three days, I finally settled on one, an ordinary middle-aged man with a standard face.The clothes on his body are not considered to be luxurious, nor are they revealing.

His mental state is average, but he looks powerful, as if he has practiced martial arts for two years.

Standing in the crowd, he couldn't be spotted at a glance, and after a while, it was his turn to offer incense.

Lu Yin breathed lightly, and the wish in his heart rang in Lu Yin's ears.

The Supreme Sage Huang Tian, ​​the villain Xu Qian, has worked hard all his life and has never done anything bad. In his early years, he studied hard and tried hard to gain fame, but failed many times. Later, he went to a Taoist temple far away and became a registered disciple for two years. He was also dismissed because of his lack of understanding. The master rushed down the hill.

For example, I am over forty this year and I still have accomplished nothing and am just making ends meet. I have nothing to ask for at this moment. I just ask the Great Sage to grant me a source of blessing. If there is no source of blessing, a disaster may end my life.

Here, thank you, the Great Sage.

Xu Qian muttered in her mind for a while, and Lu Yin heard it clearly and thought to himself, this is the person.

Then Xu Qi'an put the fragrance in his hand on the incense burner, cupped his hand, and left the place without looking back.

Lu Yin cast a spell in the dark, transformed into an old man in green clothes and white hair, and waited on the street.

Xu Qi'an was on the way home, and just now he went to the Huangtian Dasheng Temple to speak the truth, and now he felt much more comfortable, and he didn't feel cold when the cold wind hit his body.

"A beauty is easy to grow old, a hero is late, who said that the world has a long time? Rolling in the world of mortals, wasted into a fairy, who said that there is no immortality in the world?"

Xu Qi'an paused and followed the sound of singing. He saw an old Taoist priest lying on the street in the cold wind, holding a gourd in one hand and pointing diagonally at him with the other.

Xu Qian hesitated for a moment, took out two copper coins from his arms, threw them in front of the old Taoist priest, and then left in a hurry.

The old Taoist paused, quickly put away the two copper coins, and shouted: "Xu Qi'an, you are so conceited, why did the Taoist priest come here on purpose, but you insulted me with the copper coins?"

Only then did Xu Qi'an stop. This old Taoist priest could reveal his name at once. Could it be that he was really talented?
But then I thought about it, before I practiced in a Taoist temple, the same was true for the temple master. But two years later, apart from being taught some boxing and kicking skills, he went down the mountain because of his lack of understanding.

Thinking of this, Xu Qi'an said: "Don't make fun of me, Taoist priest. When I learned Taoism in the Taoist temple, the temple master said that I have no understanding. Unless there is help from the gods, otherwise, I will be a commoner all my life."

The old Taoist priest stood up, put his dark hand on Xu Qi'an's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Ordinary people say that there are three thousand avenues, and cultivating the Tao is just one of them. Maybe your understanding is not good at this way, but you can master other ways. Woolen cloth?"

Xu Qian's heart moved slightly, but then he said: "Although I haven't studied Dharma, I still know the principle that one Dharma can connect all Dharmas. Taoist Master, please don't make fun of me!"

"Hahahaha! Are you kidding me?"

The old Taoist priest laughed loudly, and with a wave of his hand, the two of them took off into the air. In an instant, they flew over Chang'an City. The dim but firm lights of thousands of houses made up the sea of ​​light.

Xu Qian's whole body was trembling, tears fell uncontrollably, and then he laughed loudly, as if he was crazy.

Lu Yin took him to fly to the Nantianmen again, let Xu Qi'an take a look at the majestic Nantianmen, and then took him to fly down to Jiuyou, where he saw the eerie gate of ghosts.

After Xu Qi'an calmed down, the two returned to the alley.

With tears still on Xu Qian's face, he knelt on the ground with a "pop" sound and shouted: "Master!"

The old Taoist quickly moved away, and said with a smile: "You are clever, you have the demeanor of my past, listen carefully, I am not your master, I am your uncle, and now I am accepting apprentices for your master, and I am here to teach you the Dafa of the world of mortals. Do you understand?"

Xu Qi'an knelt on the ground and asked, "Uncle, what about my master?"

The old Taoist priest replied: "Your master died while slaying demons in Beizhou, so I had to travel thousands of miles to recruit disciples for him."

"Beizhou?"

Xu Qian looked puzzled.

The old Taoist priest smiled and said: "This Beizhou is the Beiju Luzhou. The location we are currently in is called Nanzhanbuzhou. The others are Xiniuhezhou and Dongshengshenzhou."

Xu Qian nodded.The old Taoist slapped Xu Qi'an's head with his palm, sending half of the Red Dust Dao Fruit into his sea of ​​consciousness. He said with a smile: "Your Xu Qi'an has a bad name. Your future practice will inevitably be bumpy, so why not just call it Xu Qiye."

"I will obey my uncle's order!"

Xu Qiye replied while recalling the information that appeared in his mind. ,

After a few breaths, there was no movement in front of him. Xu Qiye raised his head and saw that the slovenly old Taoist priest had disappeared. Xu Qiye shouted loudly and said: "I dare to ask my uncle which great god he is, so I can look for you again in the future." .”

"You boy, I am Lu Yin, the Great Sage of the Yellow Heaven. You are good at cultivating and spreading the orthodoxy by the way. Remember it!"

The Great Sage Huang Tian!

Xu Qiye thought of the Huangtian Great Holy Temple he had gone to before, and knelt on the ground and kowtowed dozens of times. Seeing that there was no one around, he laughed loudly.

"It's a waste of half my life, it's a waste of my life!"

Xu Qiye sighed, picked up the gourd left by Lu Yin and walked away.

Lu Yin's figure disappeared in the clouds, but he did not leave. This spread of Taoism did not happen overnight, and he had to observe it for a while.

After Xu Qiye obtained the Hongchen Dafa, he was the first to pass it on to his wife and children in line with the principle of spreading the Taoism. The three of them lived in Chang'an City, and the Hongchen Dafa was practiced smoothly.

Therefore, within a year, Xu Qiye had already entered the Mahayana. He was stuck at the stage of enlightenment and had not yet realized it. So he preached and practiced in the charming restaurants of Chang'an City.

After all, in the world of mortals, there are many desires, so practicing can be regarded as getting twice the result with half the effort.

Another half year later, the first Hongchen Temple was built on the outskirts of Chang'an City. Seeing this, Lu Yin left with peace of mind.

Xu Qiye is reborn as a Daoguo, and the journey will be bumpy, but he can always turn danger into good fortune, which is the fate of the protagonist in the legend.

At the least, he would pretend to be a slap in the face, and at the worst, he would set off a dispute over the orthodoxy. In short, with the consent of all parties, Xu Qiye will have no problem walking all the way to the Taiyi Golden Immortal.

A year and a half later, the people from the West Coast also surrendered the two gold and silver demons, and excepted the false king of the Blue Lion of the Wuji Kingdom. Although this Green Lion was also under Manjushri Bodhisattva, compared to the three demons of the Lion Camel Ridge, the Blue Lion Weakened by more than one margin.

Even though he was good at managing the country despite not being able to win the upper hand in a fight, once Manjushri Bodhisattva came, there was no suspense anymore.

After subduing the green lion spirit, the four masters and disciples continued to move forward.

The Tang monk and his four other monks went on the Yangchang Road, worshiping Lingshan with all their hearts.It is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, but you can see that the red leaves are withered by frost, the forest is thin, and the rain-ripened yellow rice is everywhere.The plum blossoms are blooming in the warm sun, and the wind is shaking the mangosteens with a cold sound.The masters and disciples left the Wuji Kingdom and stayed in Xiaoxing at night. It was more than half a month ago when they suddenly saw a high mountain. It was really a sky blocking the sun.Sanzang was immediately frightened and hurriedly pulled the reins and called to the travelers.

Sun Wukong asked: "What are your instructions, Master?"

Tang Sanzang said: "You see there are huge mountains ahead. We need to be careful with the embankments, lest evil things come to invade me."

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Just walk, don't worry too much, I have my own protection."

The elder had no choice but to be generous, spur the horse harder, and rush to the rock. It was indeed very steep.

But look at the mountain: whether it is high, the top is connected to the blue sky; whether it is deep, the stream is like the underworld.In front of the mountain, there are often white clouds and black mist.Red plum blossoms, green bamboos, green cypresses and green pines.Behind the mountain is a platform that holds tens of millions of feet of souls, and behind the platform there is a weird cave hiding demons. In the cave is a tinkling dripping spring, and under the spring there is a winding stream.I also saw the ape jumping in the sky and clawing at the ground to offer fruit, and the deer with forked antlers, looking at the deer in a daze.At night, I look for the tiger in Bashan, and at dawn, the water dragon emerges from the waves.When you climb up to the cave door, you can hear the sound of chirping, which makes the birds flutter in surprise, and you can watch the movements of the animals in the forest.Seeing this group of birds and beasts, people were frightened.The hall is like a cave, the hall is like a hole, the hall is like an immortal.The bluestone is dyed into thousands of pieces of jade, and the green gauze covers thousands of piles of smoke.

In the dark, there is a land mountain god who sees the four Monkey Kings, turns his eyes, and rushes towards the mountain.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty!"

The Earth Mountain God ran in in a hurry.

The Bull Demon King sitting on the first seat showed a trace of anger, and then said helplessly: "What's the matter?"

The Earth Mountain God hurriedly said: "My lord, the four people you ordered to go west have all arrived."

"Well! This statement is true!"

The Bull Demon King became interested. Since he was defeated by Lu Yin in Beizhou last time, the Bull Demon King has reduced his appearance time and practiced cultivation in the mountains. He also heard that eating Tang Monk meat can lead to immortality, so he planned to have a tooth sacrifice to relieve his stomach.

"It's true, and that monk with a rough face and a loud mouth!"

The mountain god replied.

The Bull Demon King's eyes darkened. This Sun Wukong was not easy to deal with. If he wanted to eat Tang Monk's flesh, he would have to use some strategy.

"Go and inform the nearby demon kings, big and small, that my brother Sun Wukong is here and I will have a feast for three days."

The Bull Demon King said to the mountain god.

"Go to the foot of the mountain and inform the four Tang monks. I, Lao Niu, will arrive later."

The land and mountain gods took the order and left.

The Bull Demon King sighed for no reason. The fire veins in the mountains here were strong, which would always arouse his desire every night, but there was no wife at home and no concubines outside, so he couldn't help but hate Lu Yin even more.

Nowadays, things are big in Heaven. Unless the Demon Lord and the Holy Court take action, it will be extremely difficult to surrender Lu Yin. Now that he has eaten Tang Monk’s meat, he will find a beautiful girl to hide in Dongzhou.

The Bull Demon King thought so.

At the foot of the mountain, when the four people were walking, a burst of laughter came from around them.

Sun Wukong glanced at him and scolded: "Where is the God Mao who is pretending to be a ghost and doesn't come out yet?"

"Great Sage, take your time, Great Sage, take your time!"

The land hurriedly appeared, and said with a smile: "The name of this place is Haoshan, and it is the territory of the Great Pingtian Bull Demon King. Now that the Bull King knows that he is coming to worship his brother Sun Wukong, he specially ordered me to come to meet him. Afterwards, the Bull King arrive."

"Oh? Bull Demon King?"

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes a few times, and Zhu Bajie ran over with a groan and said: "Since we are sworn brothers, isn't it a big feast?"

"For this reason, the Ox King has invited friends from three mountains and five mountains. This time there will be a three-day banquet!"

Earth smiled and replied.

Tang Monk looked embarrassed and said, "Disciple, you can't neglect your journey to the west!"

Sun Wukong didn't say anything, and Zhu Bajie said: "Master, how much effort will it take to delay three days? Besides, besides Lu Yin, this is the first time I have seen monkeys have other friends."

"Pooh!"

Sun Wukong reacted, grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear and said, "What do you know, my old grandson has many friends!"

Then he turned around and said to the land: "Ask the Bull Demon King to wait, I will meet you later."

Tu Tu Tu looked happy and said: "In this way, we welcome the Great Sage."

After saying that, he turned into smoke and disappeared.

Tang Monk sighed, and Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie continued to move forward noisily.

　Damn it, it hurts!
