What kind of Journey to the West is this?

The more Xiong Shanjun thought about it, the funnier it became.

This cat is very stubborn. He must have endured so much hardship to be invited by this girl to see him!

"I want the tiger to fight with me up to Huilong Peak."

Xiong Shanjun's laughter stopped abruptly, and his big eyes stared at Yanxia.

"Are you serious, fellow Daoist?"

Yan Xia's face was serious, "How could it be fake?"

Xiong Shanjun shook his head and said, "I'm not going."

"The Red Coiled Dragon is not something a little cultivator like you can control. Even with that cat, it's not enough."

Yan Xia shook her head and asked, "Shan Jun was attacked by Chi Pan many years ago. Have you forgotten about it?"

Xiong Shanjun laughed and said, "You don't have to provoke me."

Yan Xia laughed and asked, "The mountain king and his family have about a hundred people, but I see that Ban Yue Peak is at the intersection of Wuhe Mountain and Hantan Mountain. It's not close to people, and spiritual energy doesn't gather there. But it's a place with many roads and a lot of energy flowing through it. Firstly, there's no incense to worship here, and secondly, there are no natural treasures. The mountain king needs to practice, and the monsters need to practice too. How long can they stay here?"

Xiong Shanjun raised an eyebrow, wanting to retort, but he held back and said, "I'll stay as long as I can. At worst, I can move to another place."

Xue Shier wanted to speak, but Yan Xia covered his mouth.

"But how long can I stay here? Wuhe Mountain only has two places where Qi gathers: one at Huilong Peak and the other at Dongbo Pond. There's also Qinghu Slope, right next to the official road, which could be used as a temple for spiritual practice. But these places are already owned! Where can you find a way out, Mr. Mountain?"

Xiong Shanjun sighed and said, "You're really sharp-tongued. So, what should I do? Should I go and seek death with you?

"Chi Pan has countless demons under his command. How can we deal with him with just you and me? I might as well continue wallowing in this quagmire.

"Well, let's have a fight! If you can beat me, I'll go back to Longfeng with you!"

"Right on my mind."

Yan Xia was also getting a little impatient and drew out her two maces.

What a bizarre thing! My conversation skills level simply couldn't be raised. Flirting with Snow Lion and tricking Golden Sparrow Fairy was smooth sailing, but when it came to serious matters, I was stretched to the limit.

It’s better to fight.

Fighting is fun!

The Cangzhou Lion Has No Buddha Nature: Chapter 21 [The Mountain King Bows to Me]

"Are you really going to fight?!"

Seeing the two men about to fight, Xue Shier excitedly said, "Taoist, I'll help you!"

But the girl remained unmoved.

"Still showing off! Even though this black bear monster is injured, it can't be defeated by just concentrating the mind. Let me help you quickly! I've been wanting to give him a good beating!"

Xue Shi'er is obsessed with fighting Xiong Shanjun.

Black Bear also laughed, "You cat, what are you doing here?"

All I saw was that the black bear was not wearing any armor, but was holding a black iron stick, and its pair of dark green eyes were looking down at the girl.

Xue Shier added, "You are a demon who has mastered the art of refining essence and knows your fate. You are so shameless to bully the younger generation. How despicable!"

boom!

The bronze mace hit the rock, sending a lot of broken stones flying.

"No need. Xue Shi'er can just watch from the side." Yan Xia shook her head, looked up at the black bear who stood up, silently recited the Heavenly Heart Sutra, and summoned her own Bull-Headed Dharma Body.

He has a green face and an ox head, and holds a steel fork and a spear in his hand. His face is majestic and terrifying. He is dressed in white clothes embroidered with precious lotus flowers and jade gourds, and his silk ribbons are dancing in the wind.

Xue Shi'er was stunned and asked in surprise, "Taoist, how come you have cultivated a monk's Dharma body?"

The black bear monster was horrified and felt that the face looked familiar.

Oh no, could this be the Vajra Dharmakaya he saw in the Golden Pine Forest?

But wasn't that what Monk Honghai released to warn him? How did it end up on this fellow Taoist?

Xue Shier stared at the Bull-Headed Dharmakaya with an inexplicable fear and asked, "Daoist, which Buddha did you invite this Vajra from?"

Yan Xia said seriously, "That's right: the Bodhisattva of the Neither-Perception-Nor-Non-Perception Heaven, the Vajra of the Endless and Beginningless, the Venerable One of the Wonderful Light World, and the Great Bright King of the Platinum Star."

Snow Lion: “…”

Yan Xia stopped talking nonsense and turned to look at the black bear who was about to run down the mountain. She shouted, "Mountain King, are you still going to fight?"

Beat the ass!

Xiong Shanjun muttered to himself, picked up his weapon and tried to run away.

He could see that this fellow Taoist was actually sent by the monks from Kaiyuan Temple! He had a long-standing grudge against Buddhism, so he didn't dare to cooperate with the monks.

If a fight really breaks out and King Kong accidentally kills him, then he would have no right to complain!

But Xiong Shanjun had not taken two steps when, with a "bang", a steel fork stabbed at his feet.

The black bear suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, turned his head sharply, and was terrified.

All I saw was a bronze mace coming down from the sky.

In a flash, Black Bear swung his iron rod, knocking the bronze mace away, and cursed, "You unreasonable Taoist priest! You really want to kill me!"

Yan Xia showed no mercy and smashed down another mace, knocking down the iron stick swung by Black Bear. She pulled back and turned around to look back at the moon. The two bronze maces, one real and one fake, immediately threw Xiong Shanjun into disarray and made him unable to defend himself.

However, after only three or four rounds of fighting, Black Bear's old injuries relapsed and he revealed several flaws, and Yan Xia quickly gained the upper hand.

"Drink up! Don't get hungry, this is the breakfast tea that Old Bear just had!"

"Wow, ugh, ugh... Ugh! You Taoist priest, you made me eat my breakfast for nothing. Hurry up and compensate me!"

"Ah! Stop it, stop it..."

Yan Xia didn't even use the Bull Head Dharma Body, but chased after the hammer with the copper mace in hand.

This black bear monster initiated the fight, so Yan Xia naturally wouldn't let him go easily.

Xiong Shanjun asked for a hammer and got it, but he was hit so hard that he dropped the iron rod and ran away with his head in his hands.

What amazing martial arts!

If Yanxia wasn't so weak, Xue Shier felt that An Yanxia could beat Xiong Shanjun to the ground and call him daddy in three rounds.

There was worry in her eyes.

This Taoist priest is skilled in martial arts. What if one day he doesn't want to pretend to be a good person anymore, and wants to attack her, knock her down, and force her to "slay demons and convert spirit beasts"? What should we do?

Over there, Yanxia forced Xiong Shanjun under a tree.

Pointing the bronze mace at Xiong Shanjun's nose, Yan Xia said, "Since you want to fight, I will naturally accompany you. You can either continue the fight or join me in the fight up Huilong Peak."

The black bear was so angry after being beaten that he couldn't help but curse, "You nun Taoist priest, you are so despicable! You are clearly a cultivator with five supernatural powers and six eyes who has achieved the Vajra Fruition, but you still pretend to be a casual cultivator who is concentrating his mind to build a foundation, deliberately deceiving an old bear who is injured all over! It's a pity that I still treat you as an equal!"

Xue Shier nodded vigorously on the side.

She had long felt that this Taoist priest was not a good person!

"Hmm? I've always been a Taoist priest. Never mind, Shanjun, stop messing around."

Yan Xia was confused and said, "Since it was the mountain lord who initiated the fight, why are you blaming me? I tried to reason with the mountain lord, but he refused to listen and wanted to fight. Now that we're fighting, why are you thinking of reasoning with me again?"

As she spoke, Yan Xia weighed the bronze mace and looked directly at the big black bear.

"Does the mountain want to continue fighting?"

Black Bear finally realized the change in attack and defense, and broke out in a cold sweat. He shouted hurriedly, "No more fighting! No more fighting! I'll go back to Longfeng with you."

................

Xiong Shanjun was beaten badly and was depressed. He asked Yanxia and Xue Shier to go under the tree to discuss how to deal with the Red Panlong.

The big black bear sat down on the wooden stake, picked up the porcelain cup with his fingertips, took a sip of tea, and said to himself that he was lucky not to be killed by King Kong.

"Buddha..."

"Call me by my name. You can also call me fellow Daoist." Yan Xia crossed her arms, very dissatisfied with the way Black Bear addressed her.

What Bodhisattva Vajra? She's a legitimate Xuanmen cultivator, okay? What, Vajra Dharmakaya? Pah, that's called a substitute messenger!

Xiong Shanjun quickly agreed and said with a wry smile, "Fellow Daoist, fellow Daoist. Since you are going to attack Huilong Peak, you must choose an auspicious day so that I, Little Bear, can recuperate. I have all these injuries..."

Yan Xia thought for a moment and asked, "Do you have an almanac?"

Xiong Shanjun was overjoyed and said quickly, "Yes, yes, I'll get it for the Bodhisattva."

Soon, Xiong Shanjun ran to the shed and found an old almanac that was issued to the world by the imperial court in the second year of Wude.

Yan Xia flipped through a few pages and frowned, "It's not a new almanac, so I'll just have to use it."

Xiong Shanjun rubbed his hands together and said with a flattering smile, "The mountain is far away, so it's really hard to buy. It would be convenient to buy it in the city, but there are the City God and the wandering gods in the city day and night, so I dare not enter."

Indeed, this shabby place called Wuhe Mountain is sparsely populated.

Yan Xia nodded, not caring at all, and asked, "Doesn't the Red Coiled Dragon hold a banquet every month? When is it this month?"

Xiong Shanjun quickly said, "August 19th."

She picked a day, took out a copper coin, and used the six-coin method to cast a hexagram, flipping it several times. After observing the changes, she would draw a hexagram.

Although Xue Shi'er had read the I Ching, he couldn't tell fortunes. He watched with curiosity as Yan Xia used a branch to arrange the hexagrams on the ground. He only heard the girl say:

The lower Qian and the upper Kan are water and heaven needs it. With faith, light, prosperity, and loyalty, it will be auspicious to cross the great river.

Xiong Shanjun also looked over curiously. Although he didn't understand, there was a bit of admiration in his eyes besides fear.

Being able to tell fortunes means that one must be a well-read person who has studied the Three Changes and Ten Wings, and a scholar.

Monsters also worship knowledge.

Unfortunately, Xiong Shanjun was illiterate. As he listened to Yan Xia's interpretation, he muttered, "What does this mean?"

Yan Xia said: "On August 19th, although danger lies ahead, you are strong and unyielding. Your righteousness is not exhausted, and you will achieve success in the midst of righteousness."

Xue Shi'er, who was also illiterate, asked, "What does this mean?"

Facing two monsters who urgently needed nine years of compulsory education, Yanxia suddenly understood why foxes had to take exams during their training...

She had no choice but to say, "It's a good thing anyway."

The Cangzhou Lions Have No Buddha Nature: Chapter 22 [Young People Should Have Some Cleverness]

At the foot of Banyue Peak, next to Xiangshui Pool.

Xiangshuichi is a lotus pond. The lotus flowers are not in full bloom, only the buds are clustered together. Instead, a group of toads are croaking.

It was already autumn, and these toads were still restless. Snow Lion wanted to catch all the toads at once and make soup with them.

The snow lion found a comfortable position, lay on a piece of rotten wood, and stretched out his claws to catch the flying butterflies.

Even if he catches it, he won’t eat it. He reaches out and lets it go, then lets it go and catches it again.

The poor butterfly was being played around with.

I am really bored.

Yan Xia came over and asked, "Where are we going next?"

She calculated the date, three days later, August 19th, an auspicious day. It was a good time to wait for Xiong Shanjun to recover from his injuries, and then they would go hunting the Red Panlong.

"We're not going anywhere. There are many demons on Huilong Peak. Let's let the black bear recover first. Otherwise, if we go into a fight with such a burden, we might end up in trouble."

"What exactly is the Red Coiled Dragon capable of?"

"I'm not entirely sure. I only know that Panlong can't fly, it's just a snake that walks on the ground. He's skilled at using three-flavor fire. He previously damaged Xiong Shanjun's eyes with the poisonous smoke from his fire."

Xue Shier really doesn't know much.

Even Xiong Shanjun, who had a deep hatred for the Red Panlong, didn't know much about it. He only knew vaguely that it was a monster that circulated water and grain to refine true essence, and was particularly good at breathing fire and poisonous smoke.

As for the details, this old dragon lives in seclusion all year round and not many people know about it.

Xue Shi'er was very confident and said, "If you were a Vajra Saint, and Xiong Shanjun and I were to contain the demons under his command, we would definitely be able to tear his head off and use it as a bowl."

Xue Shier had a much higher opinion of Yan Xia's strength and spoke more cautiously.

The main reason was that she was afraid that if she offended Yan Xia one day, she would have to encounter a minotaur at night...
