Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 132 Merit Controversy
South China Sea, Putuo Mountain.

As soon as the monkey told the Bodhisattva about the encounter with the monster in the Liusha River, the Bodhisattva laughed and scolded: "You monkey head must be trying to be brave again, and you won't tell the monster what the monk Baotang said!"

"I can't figure out the things in the water. It's just that Wu Neng found the monster's lair and fought him to a draw. I think he didn't tell the story of learning the scriptures." The monkey laughed.

"The monster in the quicksand river was originally the general of the Heavenly Palace Rolling Curtain, and he was also a good believer I persuaded and taught him to protect the people who learned the scriptures. If you are willing to say that you are the people who learned the scriptures from the Eastern Land, he will never argue with you and categorically submit to you. " Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said with a smile.

The monkey scratched its ears, and said helplessly: "The monster is now timid and refuses to go ashore, but only sneaks in the water, how can he be surrendered? What's more, now layman Ren has been trapped in the Liusha River for a night, and he doesn't know whether he is alive or dead. , Master, he was worried and afraid, and was trapped in front of this long river of weak water!"

The Bodhisattva frowned unconsciously when he heard the word "Ren Layman". The last time he asked the little white dragon to stop him, he returned in vain. This person turned out to be somewhat related to the Wu Clan.It is really a headache to kill and not kill, and not to stop.

"Bodhisattva, saving people is like putting out a fire. Please give my old grandson an idea to subdue that monster as soon as possible." The monkey couldn't help but reminded the Bodhisattva when he saw the thoughtful expression on his face.

Only then did Guanyin Bodhisattva come back to his senses, and called Hui An to him, took out a red gourd from his sleeve, and said, "You can take this gourd with you to the surface of the Liusha River with Wukong, and just call out." Wujing', he came out..."

At the same time, the sound transmission into the secret reminded: "Remember, you must first lead him to surrender to the Tang monk, and then put his nine skeletons together, arrange them according to the nine palaces, and put this gourd in the middle, which is a Dharma boat. , Crossing Tang Seng across the boundary of the Liusha River, this is a great achievement."

When Hui An heard this, his brows were filled with joy.

He was originally the second son of Tianwang Tota Li. He came from a famous family and was extremely wise. In his early years, he practiced Daoism with Master Puxian. Later, Lao Tzu turned Hu into a Buddha. Worship to Guanyin Bodhisattva and continue to practice.

It's just that for so many years, his cultivation base has been stuck in the realm of Arhat, and his elder brother Jinzha, who was comparable to him in strength, had already broken through to the realm of Bodhisattva, and was named "Junzha Liming King Bodhisattva". Its front protector.

In this case, if the Bodhisattva gave him a piece of merit, wouldn't it be like sending carbon in the snow, letting him see the hope of breakthrough, how could he not like it.

Thinking of this, he couldn't wait to hold the gourd out of Chaoyin Cave and head towards Liusha River.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the backs of the two people leaving, and thought of the attendant mentioned by the monkey just now, and pinched his fingers with some worry, but his face darkened.

She knew that nothing could be calculated from Ren Qinglian, so the target of this calculation was only Sha Wujing. It was only this calculation that she found out with both shock and anger. To her dismay, the opportunity she arranged for Hui An has been taken away by Zhu Gangli.

……

By the Quicksand River, Zhu Gangli had been busy for half an hour, and finally built a raft out of shrub branches and leaves.

"Haha, Junior Brother Sha, now it depends on the power of this strange treasure of yours!" Laughing loudly, the proud Zhu Ganglian said to Sha Wujing.

Sha Wujing took off the nine skull ornaments hanging around his neck, and asked with some doubts: "What if it is not fixed firmly, and it falls over halfway?"

Ren Qinglian smiled and said: "Just use ropes to tie these skeletons into a nine palace array, and place the raft made by the second senior brother in it, it will be fine, and we will protect the mage later, even if there is a If something goes wrong, we can help in time to ensure nothing goes wrong."

"It's easy!" Zhu Gangli's eyes lit up. He practiced Taoist orthodox methods in his previous life, and he has dabbled in formations a little. It is not difficult to form a simple Nine Palaces formation.

Soon, the three of them used the nine heads to form a superficial Jiugong formation around the raft.

A cold air circulated on the nine skeletons, Ren Qinglian's eyes lit up, and she couldn't help but wondered: "Could it be because the masters of the nine skeletons have done a good job in front of them, and their resentment lingers after death?" , there is a cloudy wind to support them, so that they can float on the quicksand river!?"

This made him think of Xuanzang's previous nine reincarnation identities. Although they were all mortal bodies, they were the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi after all. The high level of Taoism is obviously beyond the reach of ordinary Buddhist scriptures.

But he didn't know that his guess was almost inseparable.

These nine skeletons are indeed the skeletons left by Xuanzang's previous nine reincarnations. Sha Wujing ate countless people in this river, but these nine skulls are easy to ordinary people because of the supreme Taoism in the soul breath of Jin Chanzi, and they died in vain. The Liusha River condensed its grievances and became a magic weapon of ghosts.

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked Hui An to use the gourd and these nine heads to form a dharma boat. It is one aspect to facilitate Xuanzang to cross the river, and another aspect is to consider using this dharma boat to ferry the resentment in the skull.

Of course, the merits and virtues that can be obtained by crossing these grievances are limited after all, so the Bodhisattva repeatedly told Hui An to guide Sha Wujing to surrender to Tang Seng and personally arrange the crossing of the river.

These are the merits that Hui An needs.

However, now it is cheap, and Ren Qinglian has not realized the merits contained in it. Although Sha Wujing vaguely understands something, he has just joined Xuanzang's sect, so naturally it is not easy to compete with his senior brother. Limelight, just pretending not to know, helped Xuanzang onto the raft.

……

Hui An and the two walked very fast, and from a distance, they could see the raft floating on the Liusha River and the skulls arranged around the raft in a nine palace manner.

Seeing Ren Qinglian, the monkey couldn't help laughing: "It's Lay Ren who has a way. Not only did he subdue the monster, but he also thought of a way to cross the river!"

But he didn't notice that there was a hint of ferocity flashing in Hui An's eyes beside him.

……

On the raft, Xuanzang recited the scriptures of the past life to ferry the souls of these poor people.

But I don't know, this scene just confirms the saying in the Buddha's saying, "One thought transcends life, crossing others and crossing oneself."

Soon, the three of them arrived at the west bank without any risk.

Before Zhu Gang picked up the raft, he saw that the nine skeletons had turned into nine winds and disappeared without a trace.

At the same time, Sha Wujing had already seen Hui'an Xingzhe and the monkey, and said with a smile, "It's the elder brother who has returned, and brought Mucha Xingzhe back!"

Ren Qinglian and the others looked up, and sure enough, they saw the monkey and a white-clothed walker pressing down on the clouds and walking towards this side.

"Layman Ren, if you had come back earlier, my old grandson would have gone to the South China Sea in vain!" the monkey said with a grinning grin.

Hui An's face darkened when he heard this, and he hid the red gourd given by the Bodhisattva without any trace. He hated the layman Ren mentioned in the monkey's mouth to the bottom of his heart - the first hatred in practice is the chance of bad people. Endless hatred.
