Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 158 Why bury your bones in your hometown? There are green mountains everywhere in life!
Looking at Sun Wukong soaring into the sky.

At this moment, Qi Hu, who survived the disaster, felt extremely grateful, scared, fortunate, and happy. His emotions were extremely complicated.

He was extremely grateful that when he was in Chechi Kingdom, Master Zhang asked him to make things difficult for the team.

Although he tried his best to make things difficult for the team, he also tried his best to make friends with them.

A two-pronged approach.

Although for Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang, who have now obtained the true scriptures and achieved enlightenment, recalling the difficult incident they encountered in Chechi Kingdom, they may suspect that Qi Hu may have played a role in fueling the incident or played some role in it.

However, Qi Hu's help to them was also real.

What's more, now that they have obtained the true scriptures and achieved the right results, looking back at those things, they will only feel that those were inevitable difficulties, and Qi Hu, who helped them a lot, would naturally be credited with no faults, not to mention that when they were in Qi Hu's Jinshan Temple, both sides got along quite well.

When leaving afterwards, Sun Wukong, who was always the most sober, gave Qi Hu a life-saving hair, which was the embodiment of their relationship.

And what Sun Wukong just said, that his master Tang Sanzang was talking about him later, was probably just good things, not bad things, otherwise Sun Wukong would not have mentioned it again.

The other party also said that he wanted to take him back to see Tang Sanzang to reminisce the past, which undoubtedly shows that his relationship with the former pilgrimage team, now "Fighting Buddha" Sun Wukong and "Sandalwood Merit Buddha" Tang Sanzang, is the same as before.

And Qi Hu no longer had to worry about the fact that he had secretly fanned the flames and made things difficult for Chechi Kingdom.

"call"

He let out a long breath, and the extremely tense emotions in his heart were greatly relaxed.

The life-saving hair given by Sun Wukong can be said to be a real life-saving hair, even the real body came in person.

At this moment, without any worries, he no longer had any defensive feelings towards Sun Wukong. In addition, the joy of being able to survive in the midst of extreme despair, only those who have truly experienced it know how precious it is!

With such a life-saving grace, the image of Monkey King, the omnipotent idol in his mind when he was young in his previous life, seemed to be almost merged into Qi Hu's eyes.

His gratitude towards Sun Wukong was beyond words.

"No!"

"Teacher, save me!!"

At this moment, a loud voice of fear came from the distant clouds.

Hearing this voice, Qi Hu's eyes suddenly lit up. He was too familiar with this voice, too deeply, because it was the owner of this voice who used his big hands to deal with him twice before. Is it your turn to beg for mercy now! ?

Qi Hu immediately widened his eyes and looked towards the distant clouds.

Now that Sun Wukong is here, there is no need for me to run away anymore. It’s the extraterritorial demons who should run away!
But he opened his eyes wide again, and saw thick dark clouds in the distant sky. Apart from the occasional flash of dazzling light that reflected through the thick clouds in the sky, he could not see anything else.

It’s a pity that he couldn’t see the tragic situation of the extraterritorial demon that was attacking him.

But Qi Hu soon stopped paying attention.

Because he has more important things to do.

With Sun Wukong here, the losers are now the extraterritorial demons, and Qi Hu will naturally take the opportunity to give them a beating!

Just like what the extraterritorial demons did to the demon tribe in the three realms before.

Quickly thought of this.

Qi Hu immediately looked around, but couldn't see the target, so he immediately urged the white jade snow boat under his feet to fly high into the sky.

When he flew high enough, he immediately lowered his head and looked downward.

Of the two extraterritorial demons that had attacked him before, the one in black robe was killed by him, but the one in white robe was still alive, and the giant turtle, a spiritual beast equivalent to the late Jindan stage, was also not dead!

He still remembered that those treasures that were directly knocked away by him when he transformed into his true form as a tiger monster were quite valuable.

Now that we have the opportunity, we must find it, otherwise this trip to the Black Stone Forest will be a big loss.

"Running so fast?"

"It wasn't that long ago, only a dozen breaths at most."

"I don't believe you can run far!"

Standing high in the sky, Qi Hu looked down at the earth with his tiger eyes, and a golden light suddenly shone.

Soon, he saw a white figure riding a giant turtle flying low and fast in the black stone forest far away in his sight.

"Got you!"

"Running pretty fast!"

Qi Hu sneered for a moment, then he steered the white jade snow boat and shot off in the direction of the opponent's escape with a whoosh.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

At this time, in the distant sky, behind the endless thick black clouds, thunderous rumbling sounds like thunder continued to be heard.

Qi Hu just looked up and stopped paying attention.

He has great trust in Sun Wukong!
With Sun Wukong's deployment, he had no doubt that the high-ranking demons from outside the realm would be defeated this time.

If it was a battlefield at the Earth Immortal level or Great Sage level at the beginning, it would be hard for him to say that he would win, but this was just a demon king level battlefield in the human immortal realm at the beginning, but for some reason the demon from outside the domain was at the demon ancestor level.

Now there is a great sage-level existence on his side, and he is the best among the great sages, the most famous demon in the Three Realms, the former "Great Sage Equaling Heaven", the current "Fighting and Victory Buddha", the master of the Three Realms, sealed by the Jade Emperor, and granted Buddhahood by the leader of Lingshan in the Western world, the Buddha Tathagata, himself. He is one of the top demon kings in the Three Realms, Sun Wukong!

And based on Qi Hu's understanding of the major event of Journey to the West and Seeking Buddhist Scriptures.

Qi Hu suspected that the real intention of Tathagata Buddha in promoting the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was probably to introduce Sun Wukong into Buddhism, which was higher than allowing the reincarnation of his second disciple Jin Chanzi to return or allowing Mahayana Buddhist scriptures to spread to the East.

Yes, Qi Hu believed that the original intention of Tathagata Buddha in promoting the journey to the West was to successfully bring Sun Wukong into his sect.

As for whether Sun Wukong had any connection with Buddhism in the past, he was not sure now.

But from the perspective of maximizing benefits alone, his idea is the most reasonable.

As for the other disciple, Jin Chanzi, who was reincarnated as his second disciple and returned, he only needed to be directly enlightened. At that time, Jin Chanzi would recall the confusion he had experienced in the mundane and ignorant past several lifetimes and would naturally awaken and realize.

As for the spread of Mahayana Buddhism to the East, Tathagata certainly had this in mind, but it was definitely not his ultimate intention.

Because their Xiniuhe Continent is far inferior to Jambu Continent in terms of the number of people and the size of the country.

If it weren't for the fact that there were so many mountains and monsters in the Southern Continent and it wasn't accessible by land, the Tang Empire alone would have been able to sweep across the entire human kingdom in the Western Continent.

If we really have to say what makes Xiniu Hezhou stronger than Nanzhanbuzhou, it is that the monsters in Xiniu Hezhou are more numerous, stronger, and more ferocious.

As a monster who had traveled through two continents not long ago, Qi Hu had some say on these matters.

In short, as his cultivation level gradually increased and he practiced for a longer time, he understood more and more that the lower-level beings, especially mortals, are nothing but ants in every aspect compared to the high and mighty gods in heaven, Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Arhats.

Because mortals need them more;
And they really don't need mortals.

Of course, this is just Qi Hu's personal opinion.

Qi Hu drove the white jade snow boat to chase after him. His speed was much faster than the giant turtle, the spiritual beast under the feet of the white-robed extraterritorial demon in front of him.

Just a few breaths.

He chased after them, looking at the figure of a young demon from outside the region riding a giant turtle in front of him. Qi Hu raised his hand, and a rope emitting black light flew out immediately, shooting towards the man and turtle in front.

"Trying to catch me!"

"no way!"

Feeling the strange movement of spiritual power coming from behind, the white-robed demon from outside the domain on the big turtle suddenly changed his expression. He turned his head and looked at the black snake-like thing flying rapidly. He shouted loudly, then quickly raised his hand and slashed out a dazzling sword light!
However, Qi Hu’s target was not him at all, but the giant turtle, a spiritual beast, under him.

The black rope fell immediately under Qi Hu's control. When it dodged the opponent's sword light, it immediately entangled the giant turtle, a spiritual beast equivalent to the late Jindan stage.

"click"

As soon as the black rope of the middle-grade magic weapon touched the body of the giant turtle, it instantly locked the entire turtle into a ball.

This rope treasure was originally made for tying up and locking up enemies, so its effect is beyond doubt.

Although the giant turtle spiritual beast has the strength equivalent to that of a late Jindan realm, its cultivation is mostly raised by feeding on spiritual medicines. Also, because it belongs to the water element in the Five Elements and is a relatively gentle monster like the turtle, plus it has been tamed long ago, such a spiritual beast can probably fight against cultivators and monsters of lower realms, but it cannot defeat some powerful Jindan realm cultivators, even those in the early stages with powerful means, let alone a ferocious monster like Qi Hu!

This spirit beast had been frightened by Qi Hu's appearance when he displayed his true form.

At this time, he was locked up directly, and had no treasure to protect him. All his spiritual power and supernatural powers were locked up. He could not move at all, and fell downwards except for making a scream of fear.

The white-robed monk couldn't care less about his spirit turtle at this moment. He quickly flew up and stood firm, looking at the attacking blue-robed tiger demon, holding a magic sword and waiting with a serious expression.

Judging from the strength that the tiger monster had shown before, he and his senior brother, the handsome monk in black robe, were the golden elixir seed disciples in the Qingyang Sect, who would surely pass the tribulation and become immortals in the future. They also had the hope of becoming elders. With such a disciple, the two of them joined forces, but were easily killed by the tiger monster in just a few encounters!
He was severely shocked.

He had previously thought that the tiger demon would definitely die at the hands of the sect elders, but he never imagined that the demon would actually survive and now dare to hunt him down!
How could he not be afraid when faced with such a tiger monster!
"You, the devil, are you looking for me to avenge the murder of your fellow apprentice?"

Looking at the pair of angry eyes of the white-robed outer demon, Qi Hu, holding the Frost Axe, said coldly: "Why are you running away?"

But when the man in white robe opposite opened his mouth, he spoke in a completely incomprehensible language.

Qi Hu immediately cursed himself for being stupid. The black-robed demon from outside the world could speak the languages ​​of the three realms, but this guy couldn't. So he didn't waste any time and just took a step forward with the axe in hand and disappeared on the spot.

next second.

Qi Hu, holding a big axe, appeared in front of the white-robed monk, raised the axe and chopped it down.

The white-robed extraterritorial demon looked at Qi Hu's sudden appearance, his pupils shrank suddenly, and he raised his sword to block!

"boom!"

With a loud bang, flames suddenly exploded!

The white-robed extraterritorial demon was hit by the axe and his body swayed. He immediately turned around and retreated, while at the same time he also emitted a dark red light and headed straight for Qi Hu.

Qi Hu saw a flash of red light, but ignored it at this time. He just looked at the man in white robe and immediately said, "Determined!"

For an instant.

A dark red light rapidly hit Qi Hu's body from behind.

The white-robed extraterritorial demon not far away on the opposite side was also fixed in place by Qi Hu's magical power, and his eyes were filled with fear for a moment.

"boom!"

The moment the dark red treasure hit Qi Hu's body, ripples of water light suddenly appeared on the water blue magic robe. After a burst of fire, the water blue robe was safe and sound, but the ripples of water light on its surface decreased a lot.

Qi Hu, who was wearing a magic robe on the outside and a magical "Golden Armor Shield" on the inside to protect his body, ignored the opponent's attack. At this time, he controlled the opponent. A ball of thick black light shot out from his body. His tall figure was holding the Frost Axe. He moved in one step and appeared in front of the opponent again, picked up the axe and chopped!

"boom!"

Unexpectedly, in the extremely anxious and terrified eyes of the white-robed demon from outside the domain, Qi Hu's axe chopped down, but it only produced a large ball of sparks, and then got stuck on the opponent's shoulder!
He failed to break through the opponent's robe defense!

"A robe of magic weapon level!"

In an instant, Qi Hu, who already owned several magical weapons of various kinds, became very sensitive to this. Looking at the brilliance of the robe in front of him, he immediately realized the grade of the other party's robe, and his eyes suddenly lit up.

At this time, the white-robed demon from outside the domain saw that the axe could not hurt him, and his eyes suddenly lit up with joy. His body finally broke free from the restraints, and he raised his hand and raised his sword to stab towards Qi Hu.

Qi Hu immediately turned sideways. When he was in Chechi Kingdom, he had studied in depth the techniques of various weapons such as swords, axes, guns, sticks, and even fists and feet. This was to make it easier for him to use the right treasures in the future!

At this time, Qi Hu dodged the opponent's close-range sword and kicked out immediately!
The opponent was kicked and staggered in the air.

Followed by.

Just as the other party turned over and stood up.

A thick black light came rushing over, and in the blink of an eye it pierced through the robe defense of the white-robed extraterritorial demon and penetrated into his body.

"what!"

An extremely shrill scream suddenly rang out, and the white-robed monk had just stood up when he fell towards the black stone forest below with a scream.

Looking at each other at this moment.

Qi Hu did not move forward but instead quickly retreated backwards.

He certainly understood the pain of a damaged soul, because every enemy that was hit by his magic weapon, the "Soul-Eating Needle", would scream and wail!

Anyway, the opponent is dead, so there is no need to get too close to him at this time, to avoid his counterattack before death!
Just one second.

The white-robed demon from outside the domain who was falling straight down suddenly stabilized his body. Although it was trembling, it was indeed stable. Moreover, the opponent was turning around and trying to fly away.

“This one is strong-willed.”

Qi Hu's face suddenly showed surprise, because the other party was the first one who could run away after being hit by the soul-devouring needle. If he could continue to live, he might have a chance of becoming an immortal in the future.

But "his hero is my enemy"!
next second.

A ball of black light shot out again, this time passing straight through the head of the white-robed monk who was unable to dodge!
At this moment, the white-robed monk's struggling body suddenly trembled, his eyes finally relaxed, and he began to mutter: "Junior Brother, Junior Sister"

"etc."

He tried hard to raise his arms, trying to grab something, but he was powerless. He just twitched the corners of his lips and uttered the last murmur with difficulty: "Brother, here I come"

A little further away.

Watching the white-robed monk fall into the black stone forest below.

Qi Hu followed immediately and looked at the opponent's body. Having just witnessed the opponent's final struggle, he did not take the enemy's body with him as he did in the past. He just took the treasure bag, magic sword, and damaged robe from the opponent, then raised his hand to raise a large cloud of dust to cover the opponent's body.

I just watched the other person's last appearance before he died.

Qi Hu suddenly thought of himself who was in a desperate situation not long ago. At that time, his two lives flashed through his mind.

If Sun Wukong hadn't appeared, I would be the one dead now.
At this moment, he only hoped that if he died in a foreign land in the future, he hoped that someone would cover him with the last handful of dust.

But this thought just came to my mind.

Qi Hu shook his head and laughed. He was a tiger demon, and every part of his body was a treasure. He was afraid that he would be divided up by the enemy as soon as he died.

As for dying in a foreign land, he shook his head and sighed: "Why bury the bones in the hometown? There are green mountains everywhere in life."

Crush the last trace of sentimental thoughts.

Qi Hu immediately soared into the sky and flew towards the direction of the bound spirit turtle.
