Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 98 Inspiration returns, Xuanzang travels west!
"Is that the Tongtian River that Third Brother mentioned?"

"Yes."

"Are we getting out now?"

“I came out.”

"Ah, I finally got out."

Above the white clouds, a handsome Taoist priest in a blue robe and two monsters behind him, one with an elephant head and the other with a deer head, were looking at the vast river in front of them that had just thawed, and could not help but sigh.

These three are naturally the three Qi Hu brothers.

It took more than three months and overcame many dangers and obstacles before we finally walked out of the vast mountains.

We walked all the way from Jindou Mountain to Tongtian River.

"Is that the Tongtian River behind the Nu River at the foot of our Jindou Mountain?"

Changya looked up at the vast river ahead, then turned his head and said, "So, if we had been walking along the Nu River, we could have gotten here?"

"Brother, what you said is correct."

Hearing his elder brother's words, Qi Hu immediately laughed and said, "But if we really did that, I'm afraid you and I, three brothers, would have died by now."

"hey-hey."

Hearing the seriousness of his third brother's words, Changya immediately laughed and said, "I was just talking."

"Third brother, that's the human race, right?"

At this time, Dajiao on the side suddenly pointed downwards and said.

Qi Hu turned around and saw several mortals pushing carts on the road below, so he nodded: "Yes, they are the human race."

"That person looks like the general we met before, not the former maid of Black Horn."

Changya looked carefully at the human figures walking under the white clouds and couldn't help but say, "The noses and eyes are similar."

Qi Hu laughed when he heard this and said, "That's a big difference. It's the first time for both of you, big brother and second brother, to see a real human race, right?"

"Correct!"

"That's right."

The tusk-horned horse nodded immediately.

Qi Hu continued: "Then you must watch carefully. If you don't want to be treated as a monkey when you arrive at Chechi Kingdom, you must watch carefully now and don't look weird and scare people."

"hey-hey."

Hearing what the third brother said, Changya immediately smiled, retracted his gaze, turned his head and looked at Qi Hu carefully, then grinned and said: "Then the following human races are not good-looking, can the eldest brother also become the same as the third brother? I think the third brother's appearance is quite good, and he must be good among the human race."

Da Jiao also looked over when he heard the sound.

"It turns out that Big Brother is attracted to me for this kind of look."

Hearing his elder brother's thoughts, Qi Hu said with a smile: "Brother, go ahead and change. If you can really change like me, you will be amazing."

"Third brother, you said this!"

Changya was delighted when he heard that and immediately said, "You can't blame me for looking like you later."

"I said"

Qi Hu smiled and nodded, indicating that he would never go back on his word.

It's not easy to become a human being.

If Qi Hu had not been a human in his previous life and had looked exactly like him now, he would not have been able to become so similar.

Moreover, when a monster transforms into a human, its personality, original body shape, and even its original temperament can all affect the appearance of the person it transforms into.

He also wanted to see what his elder brother could transform into if he imitated him.

"Well."

Hearing this, Changya was not scared. He looked at his third brother carefully again, and then he had an idea.

soon.

His entire half-demon body with an elephant head and a human body began to change rapidly.

Just a few breaths of time.

A young man who was nearly two meters tall and strong, with a bald head, small eyes, a pair of huge protruding ears, a face full of flesh, a small elephant trunk, and gray-brown skin appeared in front of Qi Hu and Da Jiao.

"What has changed?"

At this moment, Qi Hu was stunned. Was this thing really made according to his own image?

Da Jiao on the side also laughed. He had already looked at the people below, and when he saw the look on his elder brother's face, he suddenly laughed.

"How about it?"

Changya seemed quite satisfied, and was pleased that he had transformed in just one go.

Qi Hu also laughed at this time, stretched out his hand and patted his eldest brother's small elephant trunk and said: "Have you seen those people below, who has this thing? Change it again."

Then he patted the long-toothed ear and said, "And your ears are too big, they need to change too."

After a while.

After Qi Hu's repeated instructions, a two-meter-tall, strong, small-eyed, bald man appeared.

"So be it."

Seeing that saving it to this extent was already the limit of the eldest brother, Qi Hu couldn't help but say: "It's a little ugly, and a little weird, but at least it shouldn't scare people."

Hearing what his third brother said, Changya was scolded and wilted, but he was still a little unconvinced and said, "Big brother has changed into your appearance, third brother. Isn't there anything similar about you?"

"A similar place?"

Hearing Changya's question, Qi Hu immediately observed carefully. After looking for a while, he said, "There are some similarities. Take the two nostrils for example. They are a little similar to me."

"hey-hey."

"Hey Hey."

On the side, Da Jiao finally burst into laughter after hearing the sound.

"Second brother."

Qi Hu then turned to look at Da Jiao and said, "Are you going to transform into a human now, or wait until you see a few more humans before you transform? Anyway, you must transform properly before entering Chechi Country."

"Let me take another look."

Big Horned Man immediately said: "Anyway, Third Brother is here. If anything goes wrong, Third Brother can help me check it out."

Qi Hu nodded and said nothing more. He looked at the vast Tongtian River in front of him and immediately flew higher.

He didn't know when the carp spirit occupied Tongtian River, but it was better to be careful.

We crossed the Tongtian River smoothly.

Qi Hu immediately descended his altitude.

These mountains and forests that are relatively close to human settlements will not have any big monsters living here. Even if there are monsters, they are only small monsters such as small monsters and ghosts.

When those creatures saw a big monster like Qi Hu, they didn't even have time to run away, so naturally they didn't have the courage to harass him.

Qi Hu has not been in the human world for too long, but he has had a lot of experience and has some understanding of this.

But this time.

He, accompanied by his elder and second brothers, did not stay in Chenjiazhuang, but flew directly past Chenjiazhuang and headed towards Chechiguo.

A few days later.

Outside the city of Chechi State, next to the forest near the main road.

A huge white cloud stopped in mid-air.

The humans passing by below were a little surprised as to why the clouds were so low, but they did not think too much about it.

Above the clouds.

Qi Hu looked at the 2-meter-tall bald man with small eyes beside him, then looked at the sharp deer horns on the other side, who was constantly looking at the big horns of the passers-by below, and couldn't help but say: "Second brother, Che Chiguo is just ahead, have you thought it through?"

"about there."

Da Jiao retracted his gaze upon hearing the voice, turned to look at Qi Hu, nodded and said: "If I become wrong in a while, Third Brother must point it out to Second Brother."

"Do not worry"

Qi Hu nodded and smiled. He also wanted to see what Da Jiao would do.

Changya, who was standing by, touched his bald head and grinned, "Second brother, change quickly. Big brother can't wait any longer."

Da Jiao ignored him and closed his eyes in thought for a while.
Then the entire half-demon body began to change rapidly.

Not long after.

A middle-aged man with black hair, ordinary face and a small mustache appeared in front of Qi Hu and Chang Ya.

"How about it?"

The middle-aged man looked at the two brothers in front of him and asked immediately.

"This"

Changya, who had been looking for fun, was greatly surprised when he saw his second brother's appearance. He immediately exclaimed: "Not bad, second brother, how did you change?"

“It’s really good.”

Hearing his elder brother's words, Qi Hu nodded and smiled. Not only did his second brother's facial features become very similar, but he also seemed to have a hint of the elegant temperament of a well-educated middle-aged scholar. It was indeed very good.

“But there’s still a little bit left.”

As he spoke, Qi Hu pointed at Da Jiao's slightly pointed ears and said, "Second brother, these ears need to be reshaped a little more to be perfect."

Da Jiao immediately reached out to touch his ear upon hearing the sound, then looked at his third brother in front of him and nodded immediately: "Wait a minute."

soon.

The big horn made the ears normal.

In this way, the human forms of the three brothers were initially formed.

Qi Hu is a handsome young man with an elegant demeanor, Changya is a bald man with small eyes, and Dajiao is a middle-aged elegant scholar.

He looked at his elder and second brothers in front of him again and saw that there were no obvious flaws.

Qi Hu said, "There is only one thing left now. We can no longer use our previous names in this world. We have to choose new ones. Have you decided what to call your elder brother or second brother?"

"What's your third brother's name?"

Da Jiao asked immediately after hearing the voice.

Qi Hu: "My name is Qi Shan Zhenren."

“That’s easy.”

Hearing Qi Hu's name, Chang Ya immediately said: "Then I will call you Chang Ya Zhenren"

"Longfang Zhenren."

Qi Hu was speechless when he heard the voice, but as long as his brother liked it, that was good.

"Then I."

Da Jiao also said: "I will just call you Master Jiaoli."

"Wrestling real people."

Hearing this name, Qi Hu's mind immediately recalled the three Chechi State's imperial masters, Hu Li, Lu Li, and Yang Li.

I don’t know if they will show up now that I have become the national teacher.

But judging from the scenes in his memory, those three should all be great monsters in the Yuandan realm.

And now he
Although as far as I can think, since Master Zhang has come to find me, those three probably won't come again.

But what if.
The guy in Black Horn is a Yuandan, and those three are also Yuandan. If he can’t become a Yuandan, he’s afraid that he won’t even be able to sit firmly on the position of Chechi Kingdom’s state master in the future!

Take a deep breath and suppress the urgency.

Qi Hu looked at Changya Dajiao and nodded, "Okay, big brother and second brother, remember your names, let's get ready to go into the city."

talking.

Qi Hu rode on a white cloud and flew towards the forest nearby.

Not long after.

Qi Hu then appeared on the avenue outside the city of Chechi State with his elder and second brothers.

Because his whereabouts had not been exposed.

This time, the three demons did not appear in Taoist robes, but changed into ordinary clothes and passed the inspection of the guards at the city gate smoothly.

As you walk into the outer city gate, you'll suddenly find yourself in a noisy and bustling place, with a large number of small vendors setting up stalls and selling all kinds of things.

Changya and Dajiao were shocked when they saw the hustle and bustle in front of them and the numerous houses and buildings and the bustling crowds of people in the distance.

They had only heard Qi Hu say it before.

But no one has seen it with their own eyes.

This is the first time I've seen it, and it's definitely an eye-opener.

Just as Changya and Dajiao were amazed at the prosperity of the human kingdom.

Qi Hu also looked carefully at the small stall market in front of him.

Compared with the last time I came here during the drought, there are far fewer people selling things. Although there are still a few scattered stalls, it is much better than two years ago.

There are also more stalls and a wider variety of goods being sold, which means that the market economy has recovered.

He has made a lot of contribution to this.

Qi Hu felt satisfied and fulfilled.

But as soon as he looked away, he saw his elder brother walking towards a stall selling various snacks not far away on the opposite side.

Qi Hu was not surprised. He looked at Da Jiao who looked helpless and said with a smile: "Second brother, let's go and take a look too."

soon.

Qi Hu and Da Jiao followed Chang Ya to a stall selling shiny red candied haws. They looked at their eldest brother, who was greedy but didn't know how to start talking.

Qi Hu, who looked like a knight with a hat covering his face, walked forward.

Not long after.

Changya had six or seven different snacks in his hands.

Da Jiao didn't have anything in his hands. In his words, he would have plenty of time to visit these places in the future and there was no rush.

Watch as you walk.

Soon.

Qi Hu brought his elder and second brothers to the inner city gate.

When I was queuing up to enter the city with my eldest and second brothers.

Qi Hu, who was queuing in front, just turned his head and saw his eldest brother Chang Ya, who was standing behind his second brother, eating cotton candy. At this time, he saw a child in open-crotch pants walking by, so he casually inserted the candy stick into the crack of the child's buttocks.

"Wow"

Suddenly, the child felt something in the crack of his buttocks. He turned his head immediately and saw a bald, strong man with small eyes. He was so scared that he burst into tears.

After watching the entire scene, Qi Hu immediately put his hand to his forehead, feeling speechless, helpless and funny.

Seeing the child hurried over, the parents had no choice but to step forward again.

Send away the parents of the crying child.

Qi Hu looked at Chang Ya and asked, "Brother, what were you thinking just now?"

"hey-hey."

Changya scratched his bald head, grinned and said: "I just think it's fun, I won't do it again in the future"

Hear what big brother said.

Qi Hu had no choice but to cover his forehead again.

He didn't know whether his elder brother would do such evil things in the future.

But looking at his excited expression, you can tell that he must be very happy to come to Chechi Kingdom.

Qi Hu only thought that he would go back to Jinshan Temple and give him a good talk about what he can and cannot do, so as to prevent him from doing something that would anger the gods and the people in the future.
All the way to Jinshan Temple.

It was already evening.

"Big brother, second brother."

Standing in front of the imposing archway with the plaque of Jinshan Temple, Qi Hu pointed at the archway in front and the huge and exquisite Taoist temple with continuous buildings in the back and said: "That's where we will eat, live and practice from now on!"

Da Jiao was just about to ask what this magnificent Taoist temple was used for.

When he heard his third brother's words, his eyes suddenly lit up.

As for Changya standing aside, the excitement on his face was so evident that there was no need to express it in words.

"Good, good, very good!"

They walked all the way into Jinshan Temple, Changya looked excited and kept talking.

I met the bear demon and his henchman Xiong Er who was guarding the place.

Even though the other party often reported to him, Qi Hu still asked about Che Chi's domestic situation.

As for others, there is no need to tell the king, because the "fake body" he left behind is in the quiet room, and others will only think that he has been in seclusion for several months.

Early the next morning.

Qi Hu then "came out of retreat" and summoned all the people in Jinshan Temple inside the main hall where the statue of Zhang Tianshi was enshrined.

When Qi Hu arrived at the main hall with his eldest brother and second brother.

Including the lackey Xiong Er who was in charge of the entire temple, four inner sect boys, and a dozen little Taoist boys who were recruited into the temple later, all were present.

The ghost Xiong Er was a bear demon in the early stage of spiritual realm in his previous life. Although his strength was weakened to a certain extent after becoming Qi Hu's ghost, his other abilities were basically the same as before his death, naturally including the ability to transform into a human.

He transformed into a middle-aged Taoist priest. As for his body, as long as Qi Hu's spiritual power could supply it, he would naturally look no different from an ordinary human being.

The four inner sect boys were Zhang Xiaofan, Chen Fu, Ji Yingying and Bai E, two boys and two girls, who were bought by Qi Hu at the stall at the beginning.

Because of their seniority and proficiency in setting up altars for praying for rain, they have now been promoted to inner sect boys.

Qi Hu's Jinshan Temple did not specifically divide its positions according to other Taoist temples, such as the abbot, the high priest and the like, but it was divided into the outer gate and the inner gate on its own.

The four inner gate boys are responsible for managing and teaching the other dozen or so new boys who come in later, also known as outer gate boys.

The daily tasks of these boys are to practice and master the knowledge needed to pray for rain, maintain the operation of Jinshan Temple, and most importantly, worship the statue of Zhang Tianshi.

"master"

Seeing Qi Hu walk in, all the boys immediately bowed to him.

Qi Hu then introduced them, pointing at the eldest brother Chang Ya and saying, "This will be the eldest master from now on." He then pointed at the second brother Da Jiao and said, "This will be the second master from now on."

"From now on, the orders of the two masters are equal to my orders"

After the introduction, Qi Hu talked in detail with his elder and second brothers about many things that they needed to pay attention to in their future life in Chechi Kingdom.

First of all, it's about eating people.
Qi Hu couldn't control other monsters, but he could still control his sworn brothers.

Therefore, this time I will specifically emphasize this.

Like Changya Dajiao and Qi Hu, they had no channels for contact with humans before, so naturally they had never eaten humans.

After Qi Hu was the first to break through and become the leader, Qi Hu, the youngest brother, basically had the final say among the three brothers.

Of course, Qi Hu usually respects his elder and second brothers.

Changya Dajiao naturally agreed to everything Qi Hu gave them this time.

Finish explaining the precautions.
Changya and Dajiao couldn't wait to go out shopping and have some fun, so Qi Hu arranged for his most sensible inner disciple Zhang Xiaofan to accompany them.

He himself went into the palace.

Because during the previous few months of his seclusion, the king had come to Jinshan Temple several times to see him, but was stopped by Xiong Er every time.

Qi Hu entered the palace.

The young king was overjoyed to see Qi Hu, and quickly told him that the prince was young, often sick, and in poor health, and he wanted the imperial teacher's help.

If Qi Hu had not changed his "Moon Yin Eating Qi Method", he would definitely not be able to help the prince this time.

But now, this kind of thing is not difficult for him who has exchanged for the "Jiuhua Gold Seal".

He simply transferred a trace of gentle spiritual power that had been repeatedly refined into the little prince's body, and the little prince's complexion and body began to improve almost at a visible speed.

This also made the king more trusting of Qi Hu, the national teacher.

Solved all the king's problems at once.

After Qi Hu gave some instructions to the one-eyed bear demon who was protecting the king who was unaware of the situation, he went to the Imperial Master's Mansion again.

Come back the next day.

Qi Hu announced that he would go into seclusion again.

This time I’m really in seclusion.

The eldest and second brothers have just advanced to the spiritual realm not long ago, so of course they want to have a good time eating, drinking and having fun.

Qi Hu didn't care, as long as they didn't do anything that would anger God and people.

His retreat was not a life-long retreat, but he was just concentrating on cultivation. He could come out at any time if anything happened.

As for the operation of Jinshan Temple, it is all under the responsibility of the royal family, so there is no need to worry about all the food and drink expenses.

Compared to the former national teacher, the monk Benzhen, the royal family of Chechi Kingdom all hoped that the position of national teacher would be held by Master Qishan until their death.

in the following time.

The new national master Qishan, who can pray for rain, is in charge.

In addition, there were no longer a large number of monks sucking blood from the people, and the young king, when expelling the monks, used the power of the national teacher to catch a number of corrupt officials and killed a number of them, shocking the court and the public.

The fortunes of the entire Chechi Kingdom also began to turn from decline to prosperity and prospered.

Time passed slowly like this.

Time flies like an arrow,

Years are like a shuttle.

Chechi Kingdom is peaceful and harmonious.

But the world is not at peace.

Qi Hu has been in seclusion in Jinshan Temple for ten years.

In Yuanhui County, east of Chechi State, in the large village "Chenjiazhuang" beside Tongtian River, news suddenly spread that an extremely powerful king of inspiration had come to Tongtian River. However, this news only spread in a small area and did not spread too widely.

Qi Hu has been in seclusion in Jinshan Temple for the sixteenth year.

September.

Southern Zhanbuzhou.

The Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty.

The Tang Emperor issued a notice to recruit monks and held a water and land ceremony to liberate the lonely ghosts in the underworld. He recruited eminent monks, and Chen Xuanzang, a monk from Huasheng Temple, was chosen to preside over the water ceremony.

same year,

December.

Carrying an important mission, Master Chen Xuanzang stepped out of Chang'an and began his journey westward.

Ps: Although it’s a little late, I still want to wish all my book friends a happy Mid-Autumn Festival, a happy family, and good health~~
