Journey to the West: Bound Bone Essence at the beginning

Chapter 374

"You idiot!" Bai Gu pretended to be angry and scolded: "How can there be such a coincidence in the world? Xuandu is not connected to your soul and can sense when you are in danger."

Bajie touched his head: "Do you mean that the arrival of Senior Brother Xuandu has something to do with you?"

"Of course it's related." Bai Gu said, "He was the one we invited from the 33rd Heaven."

Bajie: "..."

Okay, now I have nothing to say.

"Okay, okay, as long as everyone is okay." At this time, Sanzang said to smooth things over: "It's getting late, let's get on the road quickly."

"Get on the road, get on the road." Sha Monk smiled innocently and agreed.

Dragons and horses raised their hooves, white bones made clouds, Sha Monk carried burdens, Bajie walked quickly, and monkeys flew in the sky above everyone. Before they knew it, time flew by and it was already dusk in the blink of an eye.

Sanzang was obviously unlucky today. From dusk to late night, he failed to meet a single house.In desperation, he had no choice but to ask Bai Gu to set up a layer of barrier on the spot to isolate the wind and cold, and lean on a tree to take a nap.

Baigu lit a bonfire in front of the tree. Monkey, Bajie, Sha Seng and others sat in a circle around the bonfire and talked softly.

"How many difficulties do you think Sanzang had to go through in total before he could climb to the Great Leiyin Temple?" Not long after, Bajie asked suddenly, listening to the faint snoring coming from under the big tree.

"Seven-seven 49, eight-eight 64, nine-nine 81, it's nothing more than these numbers." Sha Monk said: "Buddhism is accustomed to stubbornness in these mysteries."

Bai Gu suddenly thought of the "missing" Kui Mulang for no reason, and subconsciously said: "I'm afraid I can't get enough of 81."

"Why?" Bajie asked curiously.

Bai Gu shook his head and said with a smile: "Intuition."

"Is this the harm?" Bajie said, "Don't trust your intuition too much, otherwise you will suffer a loss sooner or later."

Baigu glanced at him: "My intuition is different from yours, but... thank you for your kind reminder."

Seeing that she didn't seem to listen, Bajie smiled silently, said no more, lay down on the grass and closed his eyes.

Bai Gu looked at him deeply. She didn't know if it was an illusion, but she felt that the other person seemed to be approaching her...

Early the next morning, Sanzang woke up Bajie, who was sleeping like a dead pig, and everyone set out on the journey again.It was windy, frosty, and rainy all the way, and suddenly I heard the sound of two bells and drums.

Sanzang stood on horseback and watched, and saw that in the valley ahead, there were stacks of towers and palaces. There was a black plaque hanging on the door plate. On the plaque were written five large gilt characters: Baolin Temple was built by imperial decree.

"Great Sage, is there nothing weird about this temple?" Sanzang asked.

The monkey's eyes flashed with golden light, and he said slowly: "There is nothing wrong with the temple, but there is a resentful spirit in the backyard. I don't know whether it is good or bad."

Sanzang looked up at the sky and saw that there was still some time before evening. He felt a little at ease: "It is better to do less than to do more. It is still early, so we will take a detour."

Bones shook his head: "The resentful souls that can live in Buddhist temples must be extraordinary, and maybe they are related to the calamity of our journey to the west. You also know that calamity is something that cannot be avoided by hiding. We can only take the initiative to find a solution. .”

Sanzang listened to her words, got off his horse, took the lead, and led the demons to the gate of Baolin Temple to clarify his identity. In the blink of an eye, he was invited into a hall and met an elder in the temple.

The elder exchanged Buddhist dharma with Tripitaka and found out that this was indeed a powerful monk, so he did not dare to neglect and made clear arrangements for everyone's food and accommodation.

that night.

Sanzang was sitting alone in the Zen hall, reciting the Heart Sutra silently, when he suddenly heard someone outside the door shouting softly: "Master... Master..."

Thinking of what White Bones said in front of the temple, Sanzang held the rosary beads in his hands, stood up and opened the door. Listening to the voice, he came to the courtyard. Through the dim starlight, a dark shadow was vaguely visible. "Who are you and why are you calling me?"

"Master Qi, I am the king of the Wuji Kingdom, and I am calling you just to ask for help."

Sanzang was surprised: "What trouble did your Majesty encounter?"

"Five years ago, there was a severe drought in Wuji Country, and the people were in dire straits. We thought hard and couldn't think of a solution. At the critical moment, a Taoist priest suddenly came to the country, started a ritual, called for wind and rain, and solved the urgent need of Wuji Country." said the king.

Sanzang said: "This is a good thing. Why did Your Majesty become a resentful spirit?"

King: "This is of course a good thing for the people of the Wuji Kingdom, but it is not a good thing for the people. At that time, because he saved the Wuji Kingdom, the people trusted him and allowed him to be free. After two years of going in and out of the palace, while I was walking in the garden, he suddenly became evil-minded for some unknown reason, pushed me into the well, drowned me in the water, and then turned into me and became domineering in the country."

After hearing what he said, Sanzang pondered for a moment, and then suddenly shouted: "Zhai Master, the Great Sage."

Bones and Monkey appeared beside him instantly, and the former asked: "What's wrong?"

Sanzang knew that they must have heard the conversation between him and this resentful ghost, so he said directly: "I also ask you two to go to the palace to find out the situation."

The two demons nodded, flew up together, and disappeared into the night sky...

A few hours later, dawn broke, and a new day ushered in Mount Wutai.

White Bones and Monkey brought the sunshine and knocked on the door of the dojo palace halfway up the mountain. After being informed by the novice monk, they entered the temple and walked into a sea of ​​flowers.

"Why did the two great sages come to my Mount Wutai?" Manjusri asked with a smile in the middle of the sea of ​​flowers.

White Bone smiled and said: "Does Bodhisattva know that your mount, the green lion spirit, sneaked down to the mortal world, snatched someone else's throne, and occupied someone else's kingdom?"

"There is such a thing?" Manjusri was very surprised and very curious: "Who told you that the evil demon is my mount?"

Baigu said lightly: "Old gentleman."

Manjusri: "???"

……

If it was really this person, then there would be no problem.

After a long time, Manjusri, who hesitated again and again, finally followed Bai Gu and others to leave Wutai Mountain and came to Wuji Kingdom.

At this moment, in the palace, the black chicken king disguised as a blue lion spirit was taking a nap. He was sleeping well, but he suddenly shivered and woke up suddenly.

"Here comes someone." The green lion spirit shouted loudly.

The palace door was pushed open from the outside, but those who appeared in front of him were not those obedient maids.

"Blue Lion Spirit, why did you come here?" Manjusri shouted sharply.

The green lion spirit's head was filled with questions, and he asked calmly: "Bodhisattva, why are you here?"

Manjusri wanted to reply in his heart, I don’t want to appear here at this time, but there is no way, the matter is over, and this drama will continue to play out.

"You evil beast, you'd better tell me the truth, otherwise I won't spare you!"
