You, a monster, still want to travel to the West?

Boom! A loud bang on the head!

Looking at the white snake that had retreated back onto Qingxin's shoulder, the Bodhisattva said with a smile, "The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures will take no more than three to five years. If I had not been diligent, this matter would have vanished in the blink of an eye. It is truly a helpless act."

In front of the Nantian Gate, everyone bowed their heads upon hearing this and said, "Praise the Bodhisattva's righteousness."

The Bodhisattva chanted the Buddha's name in reply, then left everyone and went back to the Tushita Palace.

At the spot, Qingxin glanced at the Bodhisattva who was going away, reached out with heartache to take the white snake off and held it in his arms, helped him wipe his dizzy head, pressed down the auspicious cloud and went straight to the human world.

……

-------------

at the same time--

It was deep autumn on earth, at four o'clock in the morning, Tang Sanzang led his two disciples, facing the clear frost and looking at the bright moon. They were wearing beautiful cassocks, holding shining nine-ring staffs, and each rode a white horse on their way.

After walking for several miles, Tang Sanzang looked at the mountains in front of him and saw no other way to go. He had no choice but to lead the horse and pull weeds with his disciples to find a way.

It is too difficult to describe the ruggedness and difficulty of the journey, too dirty and difficult to describe the hardships.

The monks had not walked for long when they looked up at the treetops that blocked out the entire night sky and suddenly realized they had lost their way.

While they were wondering, the three men and their horses lost their footing and fell into a pit on the road. Their clothes were torn by branches and gravel, and they were covered in blood.

Tang Sanzang was panicked for a moment, and his two disciples were even more terrified, with tears streaming down their faces.

Misfortunes never come singly. While the monks were terrified, suddenly from the bottom of the pit came the roars of tigers, howls of wolves, demons howling and ghosts screaming. They all shouted, "Catch him! Catch him!"

As soon as the words were spoken, accompanied by a gust of black wind, fifty or sixty monsters quickly jumped out of the pit, all of them ferocious.

Then, the demons rushed out of the pit, and with a series of tragic neighs, they tore the white horse into pieces of meat and intestines, and chewed up the blood and broken bones together.

After a while, the demons had eaten up all the horses, and then they surrounded the three people with blood all over their bodies, evil green eyes, and evil grins.

Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang was immediately frightened out of his wits, and his two disciples were also frightened to the point of being paralyzed!

At this time, a demon king came out of the cave, very ferocious, and saw him——

He is majestic and powerful, and looks dignified and heroic.

The eyes are bright and lightning is shining, and the thunder is roaring in all directions.

Saw teeth are exposed outside the mouth, and chisel teeth are exposed beside the cheeks.

The body is surrounded by brocade, and the spine is covered with patterns.

The steel whiskers have little flesh, and the claws are as sharp as frost.

Huang Gong of the East Sea is afraid, and the White-browed King of the South Mountain is afraid.

Summary: General Yin of Shuangchaling.

Chapter 199 Good Meat~

The book continues from the previous chapter.

The story goes that Tang Sanzang and his disciples were crossing Shuangcha Ridge, but they happened to encounter General Yin and other demons, who swallowed the white horse alive and surrounded them.

When General Na Yin saw the three delicate monks, he burst into laughter and shouted, "Men! Capture these three monks, take them back, clean them, and stew them together!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

The demons immediately agreed, rushed forward, tied up the three monks tightly, and carried them into the devil's cave.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side——

Under the dim morning light, Qing Xin was hovering above the territory of Hezhou, holding the white snake in one hand and with the other hand, he put his two fingers together and emitted golden light, chanting a long spell in a solemn voice.

In the girl's arms, Xia Zhiming listened carefully. The general meaning of the spell was: The Great Celestial Lord has issued an imperial decree, and those whose names are read must come to see me immediately.

After a moment, the girl finished chanting the spell and waited for the immortals and gods to respond one by one. Then she lowered her eyes and asked softly, "Zhiming, what should I say when they come?"

Xia Zhiming thought for a moment, then raised his head and replied, "The protection of the Dharma is carried out by the Five Jiedis, the Six Dings and Six Jias, and the eighteen guardians of the Dharma, a total of thirty-two people who take turns on duty."

"As for the Four Guardians, asking them to be guardians is simply forcing them to do something they shouldn't do. Just have them record the achievements of the immortals and the pilgrims."

Qingxin tilted her head: "Then what should we two do?"

"Coordinate the needs of all parties; formulate rules and regulations; rationally allocate resources; actively listen to opinions; and work for the well-being of those seeking scriptures and all the immortals and gods."

"Zhiming, don't talk nonsense. I don't understand."

Xia Zhiming spit out his snake tongue and jokingly said, "To put it bluntly, the rest has nothing to do with us. Go back and sleep with me."

Qing Xin touched his head helplessly: "Will the immortals agree?"

"Tell them: After the mission is accomplished, we will personally ask for their reward if they have any merit."

"Yes?"

"I didn't teach you to let the Four Guards record your mistakes."

"..."

After hearing what he said, Qingxin was speechless for a moment - she always felt that something was wrong, but she couldn't figure out which sentence was wrong.

Before she could ask more questions, the immortals and gods in the sky had already dressed in armor and were riding on clouds. In a moment, they were close to her, and they saluted and greeted each other before standing in rows.

Seeing this, Qing Xin didn't think any more and followed Xia Zhiming's instructions. At the end, he didn't forget to add: "After this is over, I will go to the Great Heavenly Venerable to ask for a reward for you."

The immortals in front of them looked at each other in bewilderment after hearing this. Then the golden-headed Jie Di stood up and asked doubtfully: "Excuse me, Spiritual Officer, what is the standard for this secret guardian?"

Qing Xin recalled someone's words about counting merits over faults, and answered seriously with his head held high: "As long as the person who obtained the scriptures survives, the rest has nothing to do with you."

The immortals and gods exchanged a glance, all smiling, clasping their fists and bowing, saying, "Your humble servants obey your orders!"

After he finished speaking, all the immortals and gods stayed where they were, expressing their opinions and discussing the division of labor with the Four Guardians. The scene was chaotic for a while.

Seeing this, Qingxin held the white snake in one hand, and after thinking for a while, she calculated Tang Sanzang's position.

As soon as he figured out the result, Qingxin couldn't help but tilt his head and looked at the immortals arguing heatedly in front of him. After thinking for a while, he pressed the cloud and flew towards the distant Shuangcha Ridge following the sensation.

In a moment, Qingxin brought the white snake into the forest, landed above a cave, and leaned over to look at the bloody and broken flesh outside the pit.

Noticing her movements, Xia Zhiming slowly climbed onto her shoulders, peered down, and said with a smile, "I smell the scent of Tang Sanzang. There are still many monsters in the cave."

Qingxin nodded and took the white snake into the magic cave.

As soon as they entered the devil's cave, the man and the snake saw three demons sitting in the middle, each of them eating. Then they saw them -

A tiger demon with hanging eyes, its claws grabbing the legs and feet, and its teeth like saws tearing the fat.

A black-skinned bull demon, holding the heart with his iron hand, gnawed on the juicy muscles.

A green-haired wolf demon, holding the head in its claws and holding the soft, tender and greasy lungs in its mouth.

There were also some little demons, chewing the flesh and bones with a crunching sound, and swallowing the fat intestines with big mouthfuls.

In the deepest part of the devil's cave, there was a Tang Sanzang tied to a stone pillar. He was now frightened and terrified.

Seeing this scene, Xia Zhiming and Qing Xin looked at each other, both speechless - they hadn't even left the territory of the Tang Dynasty yet, and they could see such evil demons, which really opened their eyes.

At this time, the three demons in the cave naturally noticed Qingxin and looked over at the same time.

General Na Yin licked the blood that flowed from between his lips and teeth. After looking at the girl, he couldn't help swallowing greedily and exclaimed: "Good meat! Top-notch white meat!"

On the side, the two demons also swallowed their saliva, dropped the heads in their hands, and asked happily: "General, can this girl be used as a meal for our guests?"

General Yin burst into laughter when he heard this: "Hahaha, since..."

Buzz! ! —The sound of a sword chiming!

Puff! —The sound of ripping!

Accompanied by a loud sword sound, the tiger demon was cut in half by a green light as soon as he finished speaking, amidst the laughter that echoed in the cave.

At the dining table, the two big demons were suddenly horrified, and the little monsters in the cave were all stunned.

At the entrance of the cave, Qingxin raised his sword fingers, and with a thought, he raised the Qingping Sword again. As the sword light flashed, roars and screams rang out.

During this period, the Bull Demon and the Wolf Demon also tried to use magic power or weapons to resist, but under the double crush of Qingxin's magic weapon and magic power, they were chopped and fled in panic, and finally followed in the footsteps of General Yin.

A moment later, Qingxin grasped the sword that was not stained with any blood, glanced at the broken bodies and remains on the ground in the cave, and then walked to Tang Seng with the white snake and cut the rope on his body with one sword.

Xia Zhiming looked over the girl's shoulder, looking at the pale Tang Sanzang lying on the ground, and asked with a smile: "Do you remember us?"

On the ground, Tang Sanzang sat up and leaned against a stone pillar. He moved his dry lips and replied with a bitter face: "Remember, thank the immortals for saving me."

"Do you know something?"

Xia Zhiming spit out the snake's tongue and said with a smile: "You are the reincarnation of a Buddha, a good person for ten lifetimes, and you have a lot of merits. If the demons eat a piece of your flesh, they will be able to live forever."

Tang Sanzang raised his head suddenly and realized something in an instant.

Xia Zhiming stretched out his tail and pointed at the corpses in the cave, laughing: "Your journey west will probably be full of these ghosts. What do you think now?"

Tang Sanzang suddenly fell silent.

He originally thought that demons, like Xia Zhiming, could be communicated with through words and influenced by Buddhist teachings.

Unexpectedly, the first demon he encountered on his journey to the west dealt him a heavy blow - most demons eat people without blinking an eye!

And he happens to have a body as beautiful as a fairy!

Chapter 200 Brother, can I?

In the demon cave, Tang Sanzang was silent for a long time, then smiled bitterly and shook his head: "Thank you for the reminder, Immortal. Please don't try to scare me on purpose."

"I really didn't scare you."

Xia Zhiming extended his tail and pointed at the surrounding debris. "Don't be fooled by the terrifying appearance of these monsters eating. They're not even soldiers. Wait until you see the monsters that move mountains and fill the sea like eating and drinking water, and you'll know how terrifying this journey west is. A single smack will wipe you out."

Tang Sanzang choked when he heard this and turned to Qingxin for confirmation.

Seeing his unconvinced expression, Qing Xin put away the sword in her hand and nodded helplessly, "I'm not lying to you. If it comes to a life-or-death fight, even some powerful monsters can't defeat me."

With the six demon saints hand-picked by Xia Zhiming blocking her way, she didn't think she could win. She did have a glimmer of hope by relying on the Qingxin Glazed Lamp, but she was afraid that she couldn't use it at all.

Thinking of this, Qingxin tapped the white snake's head on his shoulder speechlessly - suddenly he felt that the journey to the west was a bit too difficult.

Across from him, Tang Sanzang frowned in deep thought, muttering, "This... How am I supposed to get through this?"

Xia Zhiming poked his head in: "Do you want me to teach you a trick?"

"Please speak frankly, Immortal?"

Xia Zhiming stuck out his tongue and said with a smile, "From here to the west, there is a mountain shaped like five fingers. It is called the Five Elements Mountain, also known as the Two Realms Mountain."

"At the foot of that mountain, there's a monkey subdued by the Buddha himself. He's the Bi Ma Wen who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. If you can rescue him and gain his help, your journey westward will be hopeful."

"Bimawen?"

"Yes! It's Bimawen!" Xia Zhiming nodded repeatedly.

Qingxin glanced at the white snake on his shoulder with a strange look in his eyes. Seeing that its tail was circling around, it was obvious that it was up to some evil intentions. He suppressed his smile and tapped its tail.

On the other side, Tang Sanzang, who was in danger, did not think too much. After listening, he bowed and thanked him: "Thank you for your guidance, Immortal."

Seeing this, Xia Zhiming nodded with satisfaction and said goodbye to him happily, wagging his tail.

Qing Xin glanced at the somewhat embarrassed Tang Monk and asked tentatively, "Did you lose anything?"

Tang Sanzang smiled bitterly and said, "The disciples and horses that accompanied me were all eaten by demons. I will search for the remaining items slowly by myself."

Xia Zhiming was delighted when he heard this: "Your horse is gone?"

"I originally had a white horse for transportation, but as soon as I saw the demon, the horse was poisoned and now no trace of its remains remains."

"Any plans?"

Tang Sanzang shook his head and said nothing, looking like he didn't care much.

Seeing him like this, Xia Zhiming spit out his tongue, rubbed Qingxin's cheek, and said nothing more.

The girl immediately understood, bowed and said goodbye, then she picked up the breeze and left the devil's cave with the white snake.

Original place——

Tang Sanzang brushed off the dust on his body, looked around for a long time, and finally found his nine-ring staff and package.

Looking at the two human heads that had been bitten beyond recognition on the table, Tang Sanzang showed pity on his face. However, he did not dare to stay in this deep mountain for any longer. He could only recite the "Nirvana Mantra" once, climb out of the pit and continue heading west.
