Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 101 The boundary between heaven and earth, strong winds and ocean currents, Black Horn dies!

"call"

"Huhu."

The cold wind was howling and heavy snow was falling.

The first snow this year was particularly heavy.

In front of the city gate of Chechi State, everyone tried their best to hide inside the city, but a tall figure with black hair and black robe walked against the trend into the vast snow and wind.

The man in black robe walking against the flow.

Of course it was Qi Hu.

Since he came to Chechi Kingdom with his elder brother Changya and second brother Dajiao sixteen years ago, he has never set foot out of Chechi Kingdom again.

This time he achieved Yuandan and set out again with Che Chi in order to go to Jindou Mountain again and avenge what happened sixteen years ago.

When the huge gate of Chechi State in the rear was submerged in the wind and snow.

Qi Hu stopped, looked up at the sky, and felt the coolness of the snowflakes blowing on his face.

He bent slightly to gather strength, then suddenly rose from the ground and headed straight towards the sky above.

This jump,
Jumped straight into the air
Then, a white cloud quickly formed from under his feet, carrying Qi Hu and rushing straight into the sky full of wind and snow.

"Huhu."

There is the whistling wind and the cold snow in my ears.

Qi Hu rode the cloud straight up into the sky, and soon he saw large patches of leaden clouds covering the earth below.

When he broke through the leaden clouds, the scene before his eyes suddenly lit up and the whole world became clear.

Looking at the sky around me and the earth below me which is as small as an ant.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh: "It's true that the higher you stand, the better the scenery."

Although he could fly in the past, he had never flown to such a height and didn't dare to do so. But now, he has fewer concerns.

After carefully observing the different scenery.

Qi Hu couldn't help but look up towards the sky above his head, looking at the vast blue sky above.

Then he continued to ride the cloud and fly higher into the sky.

"call"

The wind rushed past my ears.

Qi Hu keeps moving forward.

After flying for more than an hour.

Finally, the blue sky appeared before him with incredible reality: it was a huge blue gale layer that was swift, fierce, vast and boundless.

Just by standing a little closer to the gale layer, one can feel its speed and ferocity.

"This should be the Gangfeng layer mentioned in the knowledge given by Zhang Tianshi."

Slightly below in the sky, standing on a white cloud, Qi Hu, dressed in a black robe, looked at the huge blue ocean curtain above his head that covered the entire sky and earth, and couldn't help thinking in his heart.

From that vast amount of knowledge, Qi Hu learned that the layer of strong winds that spans the entire three realms of heaven and earth can be regarded as the dividing line between heaven and earth.

At the same time, because the Gangfeng ocean currents are extremely turbulent, this is also the place where immortals above the Yuandan realm travel.

After all, the entire Three Realms and Four Continents are too vast.

With Qi Hu's current level of cultivation, it should be no problem for him to enter the strong wind layer above his head. However, he could stay in there for a short time to try out the novelty, but he definitely couldn't stay there for a long time.

This was because his mortal body was too weak to withstand the long-term blowing of the strong wind.

Of course, if he has some good protective treasure, it should be no problem for him to rush to the bottom lane for a short time, but that will damage the treasure. Because treasures need spiritual energy to nourish and maintain, the energy will eventually be fed back to the owner.

In short, if you don’t have enough cultivation and haven’t become an immortal, don’t even think about learning from the big guys to use the strong wind layer to travel.

At the same time, there are many immortals traveling in the Gangfeng layer.

Therefore, it is also very dangerous inside the gale layer.

Because you don’t know what’s coming from the opposite side, behind you, and from all directions. Are they the immortals from heaven, or the unstable cultivators from the lower world, or the violent and cruel monsters, or something else in human skin with a beast’s heart, or a snake’s heart with a Buddha’s face.

In short, the Gangfeng layer is now far beyond the reach of a little tiger demon like Qi Hu who has just achieved Yuandan status.

He also didn't want to go in and take the risk to experience the novelty.

It is enough to just stand below and take a close look at what this so-called gale layer that divides heaven and earth looks like.

After looking carefully for a while.

Qi Hu turned around and flew downwards.

Flying downwards is much less tiring than flying upwards, but it still took nearly an hour.

Looking at the vast and surging Tongtian River below.

Qi Hu flew directly towards Chenjiazhuang beside Tongtian River.

Fortunately, the Tongtian River is vast and easy to spot, otherwise he would have to search for a while.

Fly all the way to the main road not far from Chenjiazhuang.

It was approaching evening.

Qi Hu landed and looked down at the black robe on his body. The black robe fit him well and made him look quite heroic and extraordinary.

But unfortunately it is just ordinary fine fabric.

If it weren't for his protection, we wouldn't have been able to make it to the strong wind layer just now.

This black robe was suitable for wearing back in the mountains, but it was a bit inappropriate to go to Chenjiazhuang now, so he changed his black robe into a blue Taoist robe, with a cloth bag on his shoulders and a long sword on his waist. He was still dressed the same as when he passed by Chenjiazhuang several times before.

immediately.

Qi Hu braved the heavy snow and walked towards Chenjiazhuang not far ahead, stepping on the thick snow on the ground with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

Not long after.

We arrived at Chenjiazhuang, which had high walls and tightly closed gates.

Qi Hu reached out and knocked on the doorknob.

Soon the small window on the door was opened, revealing a young man's face. Looking at Qi Hu, who was dressed as a Taoist priest, although he was impressed by how good-looking the Taoist priest was, the young man did not relax his vigilance and immediately asked, "Why did this Taoist priest come to my Chenjia Village?"

Hearing the young man's words, Qi Hu immediately smiled and said, "It's snowing so heavily, I'm here to stay overnight, please let me know and make it convenient for you."

"Then wait a moment, Taoist priest."

Hearing Qi Hu's familiar words, the young man responded, then immediately turned around and walked towards the back.

soon.

A middle-aged man appeared in front of the small window behind the thick door. Looking at the handsome young Taoist priest wearing a blue robe and a long sword hanging from his waist, the middle-aged man was stunned for a moment, then excitedly asked, "But is Taoist Priest Qi in person?"

"I didn't expect that after all these years, someone would still recognize me."

Looking at the middle-aged man with an excited face, Qi Hu bowed and smiled, "It's me, the snow is very strong, I would like to stay in your guest room for one night."

"Quick!"

"Open the door quickly."

But before he could finish his words, the middle-aged man who heard Qi Hu's admission became excited and immediately said.

soon.

The gate of Chenjiazhuang was wide open.

With the warm welcome from the middle-aged man, Qi Hu once again walked into the gate of Chenjiazhuang.

After some inquiries.

Qi Hu only then realized that the head of the Chen family whom he knew back then had already passed away and been buried for many years.

The middle-aged man in front of him was the child who had met Qi Hu many years ago when he was with the patriarchs of Chenjiazhuang.

It was also because Qi Hu had helped the Chenjiazhuang people to drive away evil spirits and dirty things.

Therefore, the patriarch of Chenjiazhuang instructed his successor about the matter of Taoist Qi Hu, asking them to entertain Taoist Qi well if they had the chance to meet him in the future and not to neglect him. This was also the reason why the middle-aged man was excited when he saw Qi Hu.

Hear the other person finish speaking.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh in his heart that life is short and time passes quickly for ordinary people.

Like him, in the National Master's Mansion of Chechi Kingdom, sixteen years passed in a flash, and the former manager Song Zude died after collapsing to the ground at a banquet outside a few years ago.

In recognition of the other party's contribution, Qi Hu continued to hand over the management position to his honest son. The son took over his father's position and continued to guard the Imperial Master's Mansion for him.

Qi Hu had four maids, spring, summer, autumn and winter, given by the king at the beginning.

Now, they have grown from young girls to charming young women in their thirties.

As for the other servants in the mansion, they had been replaced batch after batch.

Even the king in the palace has grown from being young and naive to being a middle-aged and steady man.

Time flies so fast. Nothing can be faster than this.

After a conversation with the melon-eating kid back then, now a steady middle-aged man, a group of people soon came, all because they heard that Taoist Qi had come.

Many of them were children back then.

A warm reception.

Not long after Qi Hu clearly refused the invitation to the banquet, he moved into the best guest room in Chenjiazhuang.

In the guest room.

When Qi Hu sat down at the dining table, he looked at the food in front of him and fell into deep thought.

Because he noticed that although the Chenjiazhuang people were enthusiastic, they obviously had something on their mind, but they just didn't say it out loud.

I guess it’s because it’s late today and it’s not easy to speak.

But they should say it tomorrow.

What could it be?
The first thing Qi Hu thought of was his memory. The King of Inspiration, who came from the lotus pond of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva in Chaoyin Cave in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea and was one of the Five Elders of the Five Directions, came to Tongtian River and threatened to bring good weather and demanded the annual sacrifice of boys and girls from Chenjiazhuang.

Think of this.

Qi Hu couldn't help but sigh in his heart. Taking himself as an example, it was impossible for the goldfish spirit Ling Ling Da Wang to come to Tongtian River without the order of Guanyin Bodhisattva.

But Guanyin Bodhisattva must have known that the other party was asking Chenjiazhuang for young boys and girls as a feast.

It is precisely because I know that the other party knows.

Qi Hucai sighed that those great immortal gods didn’t care about the life and death of mortals at all.

But speaking of this.

It's considered good enough for the King of Inspiration to eat a pair of boys and girls every year.

The Golden-Winged Dapeng that occupied the Lion Country, devoured the entire human kingdom, and turned the Lion Country into a demon country was extremely terrifying, brutal, and outrageous.

What's even more outrageous is that the Shishituo Kingdom is not far from the so-called Western Pure Land, the Buddhist lair of Lingshan. Moreover, the golden-winged Dapeng is the nominal uncle of the Buddhist leader: Tathagata Buddha.

This is really outrageous. It's outrageous to the extreme.

If we allow such a vicious monster like the Golden Winged Peng to do so many evil things, how can Buddhism still say that all beings are equal and compassionate?
Relatively speaking.

Although the Heavenly Court has done many immoral things in its treatment of the human race, it is still much better than Western Buddhism.

Qi Hu also saw at first glance that the human race was nothing more than a source of nourishment for both the Heavenly Palace and the Western Sacred Mountain.

shook his head.

Think no more.

The reason he came to Chenjiazhuang this time was to find out whether the King of Inspiration had occupied Tongtian River.

Thinking of the expressions of the Chenjiazhuang clansmen before.

I guess we should know tomorrow.

Early the next morning.

Just as Qi Hu expected, when he was invited downstairs to the private room for dinner.

The middle-aged patriarch of Chenjiazhuang brought several clansmen to kneel down in front of Qi Hu and said in a sad voice: "Master Qi, please save our village!"

"Please save our Zhuangzi"

Hearing this plea, Qi Hu, who had some guesses in his mind, immediately reached out and helped the clan leader up, saying: "Clan leader, there is no need to do this. If you have anything to say, just tell me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help."

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

The middle-aged clan leader then stood up straight, and ordered all the doors to be closed to prevent other clan members from coming in. Then he sat down next to Qi Hu and said, "Master, our Chen Family Village is suffering."

"Master, you know the Tongtian River outside, right? There came a man who called himself the King of Inspiration in Tongtian River."

Hear this.

Qi Hu's heart suddenly moved. Sure enough, the goldfish spirit came.

He did not interrupt and continued to listen to what the Chenjiazhuang patriarch said.

"That King of Inspiration threatened to bless Chenjiazhuang with good weather and good harvests, and asked Chenjiazhuang to sacrifice a pair of boys and girls to him every year."

"In our Zhuangzi, the elderly send off the young every year."

“It’s really hard.”

At this time.

Qi Hu, with a calm expression, finally spoke up and said, "With the King of Inspiration acting like this, have you ever thought of asking other people for help? I remember that this place belongs to Chechi Country, right? Why didn't you report it?"

"Master, you don't know."

Hearing Qi Hu's question, the middle-aged clan leader subconsciously glanced at the door and then whispered, "We spent a lot of money to find a Taoist priest and two monks, but they were all eaten by the King of Inspiration."

"After we finished eating, he even said that if we dared to find someone to bother him again, he would eat up the entire Chenjia Village. That's why we didn't dare to report it."

After listening to the words of the middle-aged patriarch.

Qi Hu was silent for a long time, then stood up, calculated with his hands, and said: "Chief, I'm sorry, I just calculated, and I don't think I'm a match for the King of Inspiration, so I can't help you."

He was just a small Yuandan, so how could he dare to go to Tongtian River to cause trouble for the King of Inspiration.

Hearing Qi Hu's words.

Several high-ranking members of Chenjiazhuang around could not hide the look of loss and sadness on their faces. The middle-aged clan leader was even unsteady on his feet and sat down on the bench, almost falling to the ground.

Seeing the other party like this, Qi Hu felt a little bit sorry, so he said: "But there is no need to be too discouraged, clan leader. I can't deal with the King of Inspiration, but there will be capable people who can deal with him in the future."

Upon hearing this.

The middle-aged patriarch immediately looked over as if he had found a life-saving straw.

Qi Hu said calmly: "I have already calculated that within ten years, someone will come to your Chen Family Village to help you get rid of the King of Inspiration."

Done.

Qi Hu no longer had the appetite to eat here, so he turned around and walked out of the room.

He did not pay attention to the calls and pursuit of the Chenjiazhuang people behind him. White clouds rose under his feet and he quickly soared into the sky on the white clouds and disappeared into the horizon.

Seeing Taoist Qi riding away on a cloud, all the Chenjiazhuang clansmen knelt down and kowtowed, calling him a god.

It was also from this farewell that no one from Chenjiazhuang ever saw the immortal Taoist Qi again.

Out of Chenjiazhuang.

Qi Hu quickly flew high into the sky.

When passing by Tongtian River, he looked down and saw that the river was vast and the waves were still surging.

He stopped thinking about it.

He rode on the cloud and sped towards the direction of Jindou Mountain.

The first benefit of becoming a great demon in the Yuandan realm is the ability to travel quickly.

Looking at the lush green forests passing by rapidly below, he at least didn't have to hide from place to place like he did before.

The big monsters occupying the mountains and forests below are basically in the Yuandan realm.

Now, as long as he wants, he has the qualifications and strength to circle a mountain range, occupy it and become the king of the mountain.

At this time, we passed by a forest below.
He had passed by here once and was troubled by the mountain king Yuandan monster.

But now Qi Hu has no intention of causing trouble.

Because there were too many Yuandan monsters that had caused him trouble, he had neither the interest nor the time to visit them one by one.

All he wants now is to go back to Jindou Mountain and find trouble with the bull demon Heijiao!
Talk about it.

This means that in the outer mountains close to the human gathering place, most of the mountain kings are Yuandan realm monsters.

It's okay for him to travel so boldly.

If you go to the extreme south or north, you will find the mountains and forests deep in the endless vast mountains where there is not a single trace of human habitation and which truly belong to the world of monsters.

Qi Hu must be as cautious as before.

Because those who can occupy a piece of land in those mountains are all real big monsters above the Yuandan realm, who have shed their mortal bodies and achieved immortal bodies. If he dares to pass by carelessly like he is now, he might be eaten by some big monster who will dislike him.

My mind was in a mess along the way.

Qi Hu sped all the way.

In the past, it would take him at least half a month to return to the mountain from Chechi Kingdom.

now.

He left Chenjiazhuang in the morning and arrived near the Jindou Mountain Range just after noon.

Facing the Jindou Mountain Range.

Qi Hu was already familiar with the route, so he didn't beat around the bush and flew directly towards the main mountain of Jindou Mountain.

Not long after.

Qi Hu flew to the main mountain of Jindou Mountain, and stopped in mid-air on the huge mountain next to where the bull demon Black Horn was. Then he shouted in the direction of Black Horn's cave, "Black Horn, come out and die!"

Ps: It is true that I had heat stroke yesterday. I am now exhausted. The weather in Fuzhou is still extremely hot. Book friends in Fuzhou can testify for me. The small kitchen where I work is even hotter. Business is good and I have been cooking non-stop. It is always hot. Going to work every day is like being in a steamer. I am soaked all over. This is not an exaggeration (covering my face).
Ps: Thank you all book friends for your monthly tickets and recommendation tickets, thank you~
