Chapter 159: The Three Transformations of the Candle Dragon
"How long will it take to get to Lingshan?"
"It should be soon. After all, I just heard that it is already the 80th difficulty."
At the foot of Lingshan Mountain, there are majestic temples and huge pagodas scattered all over the place.
Under the pagoda are dried bones that are bowing devoutly. Some of the linen clothes have weathered, while others are still intact, or some are begging for the afterlife, their consciousness blurred.
There is a white jade road that leads all the way to the top of Lingshan Mountain.
On one side of the White Jade Avenue, Chen Zhu and Patriarch Bodhi were drinking milk tea face to face behind the pagoda, and they looked into the distance from time to time.
“Is it appropriate for us to just leave all the junior brothers and sisters to Karl?”
Chen Zhu thought about it, but still felt it was inappropriate and his conscience was against it.
After so long, my fellow students have actually grown up and have their own unique way of understanding the world.
It’s just because of cultivating immortals that his life span has increased significantly, so he still looks young.
but……
It is precisely because of this that the troubles became increasingly serious, and many times Patriarch Bodhi had to lose face.
"What can you do in a few days?"
Patriarch Bodhi chuckled and said, "Wukong and his companions have already passed Lingyun Ferry and have been reborn in the bottomless boat. Wukong has even realized the Nine Transformations. I believe they will soon reach us."
"The eighty-first difficulty hasn't come yet."
Chen Zhu said leisurely: "We still have to hide for a while, otherwise the old turtle will be scared and dare not come out."
Speaking of this, he thought of the Taiyuan Spirit Turtle, that turtle thief. After he sacrificed himself, he was able to find his true body. It was truly extraordinary.
As for Zulong... he couldn't see through that existence, and everything he showed was ambiguous...
Chen Zhu shook his head, put aside the things he couldn't understand, and looked at two visions at the same time.
One is Honghuang, the anchor point where he is, and the other is the world of Journey to the West. There is a faint river of light running through the two sides.
Zhulong's talent has undergone the third transformation. Many things have changed and he has gained some great power.
I don’t know if Zhu Jiuyin’s turmoil can be resolved after hiding for a while.
After all, following the invincible Zhu Jiuyin who had been around for ten thousand years, there was another Zhu Jiuyin who was offered sacrifices to three times a day, and there was also Zhu Jiuyin who killed the prison god and rejected Zulong.
His reputation was too great, so he had to fake his death to escape.
He drank tea with the master and waited for the arrival of Sun Wukong.
However, what he didn't notice was that there was a group of little creatures lying in ambush nearby.
"Do you think that eating Tang Monk's flesh can really make you immortal?"
A young man asked shrewdly. His name was Chen Zhan.
"Of course not! I've heard many monsters say so. It is said that Tang Seng is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi. Jin Chanzi, sizzle~ Don't you like fried Jin Chanzi?"
Another girl wiped her saliva and said, "I caught several big ones from the Xiantian maple tree in Sanxing Cave last time. They were really delicious."
When these words were spoken, the boys and girls began to drool.
They all ate it, and it tasted really good.
"But……"
Another girl who looked soft and tender frowned: "You forgot, afterward the master hit us with a whisk, saying it was a spirit beast, it hurt."
"What are you afraid of!"
A skinny black guy laughed frivolously: "Are you willing to give me a beating in exchange for a cicada?"
This……
This……
You know what, they really are willing to do so.
So the boys quietly hid behind the pagoda, waiting for Jin Chanzi's arrival.
These were none other than the top disciples in the Sanxing Cave, the evil stars that had been stirring up trouble in the Three Realms in recent years. Even the gods in heaven would tremble when they saw them.
They were very excited, and there was a little black dragon exploring the way ahead, emerging from the soil.
"It's confirmed. There are still ten minutes to go. Everyone cheer up. Immortality begins today!"
Ao Hei was very excited and continued to bury himself in the soil. He did not learn other moves, but he studied the Five Elements Escape in the Thirty-Six Changes of Tiangang the most carefully.
In the distance, a group of four people and a horse were walking slowly down the White Jade Avenue.
We can barely call them human beings, but among the four masters and apprentices, none of them is normal.
If you look closely, you can see a giant pig monster that is three and a half meters tall, with taut muscles and rough and thick skin.
There was also a six-meter-long bearded fish monster, holding a monk's staff, and bowing on the staff as if it were a mini gift box.
The only ones who were still relatively normal were Ma and Tang Seng.
And in the front, a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth was walking with a black stick in his arms. I don't know how much blood of demons was soaked in that stick.
Sun Wukong looked around and could see Lingshan Mountain shrouded in Buddha's light and not far away.
Last time, there was some kind of demon who said he was the mount of Bodhisattva, but he didn't believe it at all and beat him to death with a stick.
Pah, the mount could also descend to the mortal world and become a demon? Old Sun has read a lot of books, and the demon is full of evil, with human blood all over its body, and he could smell it from a long distance away.
He didn't give the monster a chance to speak, and the master also agreed, and didn't say anything when he saw him beat the monster to death.
"I feel like something's wrong."
Suddenly, Sun Wukong frowned and looked at the white jade road ahead.
As soon as these words came out, the team suddenly became tense.
Tang Seng didn't feel anything, but it was mainly because the pig demon and the fish demon subconsciously leaned together.
Every time the eldest senior brother said this, it meant that a powerful guy was coming.
They were not afraid of their opponents, but they were afraid that Monkey King might accidentally hurt them during the fight.
Take the last time for example, the eldest brother used the Samadhi True Fire to deal with Red Boy, but because he had just learned it and couldn't control it well, he burned all of their hair, and it has not grown back until now.
Zhu Bajie glanced around. What was this damned monkey going to learn?
Sun Wukong looked ahead carefully, opened his flaming eyes, and felt somewhat confused.
"Strange, I feel wrong?"
He frowned. This couldn't be wrong.
"It may be that the Buddha of Lingshan is so powerful that I vaguely misunderstood."
Sun Wukong said this, and at the same time, the young men in the soil breathed a sigh of relief.
The moment Sun Wukong spoke, several people spontaneously went underground.
Well... they are all good at the Five Elements Escape.
Chen Zhan lowered his voice and exclaimed: "Fuck, you scared me, this Sun Wukong is really powerful. I heard that he once caused a big commotion in the Heavenly Palace. He is one of the reincarnations of the Chaos Demonic Ape."
"Awesome! Luckily I learned how to fly and hide, otherwise we would have been discovered by those piercing eyes."
Ao Hei wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, and everyone was amazed, saying that he was indeed the person who had caused trouble in the Heavenly Palace earlier than them.
Chu Jue frowned: "Where is the Golden Cicada? Aren't we here to catch the Golden Cicada? Where is it?"
Her mouth was watering: "I didn't see the golden cicada either. Is it in the bowl in the monk's hand?"
Hearing her question, Ao Hei immediately replied: "Golden Chanzi... isn't he the one riding a horse?"
"The one on horseback?"
"But that's a human being!"
The boys were stunned, Bai Tian even shuddered: "Could it be that... Jin Chanzi is actually a human, not a cicada?"
"Fuck, you guys don't even know what a golden cicada is, and you're trying to get me the elixir of life?"
Ao Hei's face was grim: "What should we do now? If you don't make a move, I dare not move, for fear of being beaten to death by the master."
Yu Xuan said softly: "Why don't we just forget it? Master said we are not allowed to eat people, and Senior Brother said so too."
"The ginseng fruit still looks like a baby."
Pan Wu lowered his head, rolled his eyes, and clapped his hands for the last time!
"It's all here..."
"Yeah, now that we're here," Chu Jue suggested, "why don't we tie him up first? What if the monk reveals his true form and turns into Jin Chanzi again?"
What he said...seems to make sense.
"Here they come, right above us."
Ao Hei suddenly spoke and everyone looked at each other.
"on!"
"Boom!"
A violent explosion caused the milk tea in Chen Zhu and Patriarch Bodhi's cups to jump and roll.
"What's the matter?"
Patriarch Bodhi frowned, "There have been no disasters along the way from Lingyun Ferry. The Journey to the West is about to be completed, and there shouldn't be such an explosion."
"This is different from the original." Patriarch Bodhi took out a famous book with three big characters on it: "Journey to the West".
There is a line of small print below: "Children's Book, Illustrated Edition."
"Master, let's stop deceiving ourselves."
Chen Zhu sighed: "It's the junior brothers and sisters who ran out."
Hearing this, Patriarch Bodhi took a deep breath. It seemed that his eldest disciple had no intention of taking action. Was he so ignorant?
"Master, Pan Wu and Ao Hei tricked Junior Brother Wukong away."
Patriarch Bodhi's arm trembled: "That Golden Cicada has already been able to break through ten lifetimes, his cultivation is quite good..."
"Master, Pan Wu stole the whisk you used before and tied up Tang Seng."
Patriarch Bodhi: …
He was hesitating. Wasn't it time for the Buddha in the Great Leiyin Temple to take action?
"Master, Sha Wujing and Zhu Bajie are dividing the gifts. They estimate that one will go back to Gao Laozhuang and the other will go back to the Flowing Sand River."
"rough!"
The founder of the three religions and a great master cursed and kicked Zhulong, then he had already rushed to the other side!
"You little bastards, stop it now!"
When the old man rushed over, he only saw the light of the teleportation formation dissipating.
"You bastard, you've already thought of a way to retreat!" He wanted to follow him in, but as soon as he stepped in, he was blown to pieces. There was actually poison in the teleportation array!
"I'm so angry!"
The ancestor roared, cut through the space directly, and returned to the Three Star Cave in one step!
I saw that there was a pot of boiling water and a fire on the stove in the cave, and Yuxuan was timidly choosing side dishes.
Chu Jue drooled as he stared at the tied-up Tang Sanzang.
He kept muttering, "Golden cicada, oh golden cicada, please turn into a golden cicada soon, so we can eat you."
The three Heizi, Ao Hei, Pan Wu and Bai Tian, began to prepare ingredients and look through the recipes eagerly.
Tang Sanzang's face turned pale. Where did this monster come from? It was too efficient. It only took a few blinks of an eye to tie him up here.
If the girl hadn't been there, he would have been stripped naked by now.
Shouldn't there be some formalities? After all, he is also a pilgrim. Where is the reinforcement? Where is Sun Wukong? Where is he!
This is too bullying. He is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi and has already awakened his memories of his past life. But why can't he break free from this rope?
When he took a closer look, he was horrified to find that the rope was a rope for tying up immortals. If he was tied up like this, not only would he be unable to break free, even if he were to come back from his previous life, not to mention his current self.
"Forget it, I'll strike him first. Once he dies, maybe his true form will be revealed."
Pan Wu pulled himself together and picked up the knife, intending to try it first. As he spoke, the knife had already touched Tang Seng's skin.
"hiss!"
The latter felt cold and scared, oh no, he was going to die!
"Bah!"
At the critical moment, suddenly, the void was cut open, and Patriarch Bodhi came with a whip and knocked the bronze knife away with one whip.
It was made of copper from Shoushan Mountain. He locked it tightly in the cabinet. How did these bastards steal it?
With a cry of surprise, Tang Seng burst into tears. The savior had finally arrived. He looked carefully and was even more horrified. Why was it Patriarch Bodhi?
"Thank you for your hard work, holy monk. I am an old immortal who sees injustice when the road is open~"
Patriarch Bodhi moved his mouth and tried to pretend, but when he saw Jin Chanzi's eyes, he couldn't pretend anymore.
"I didn't see anything, understand?"
The master's face was solemn and filled with murderous intent. The latter nodded repeatedly, wishing he could break his neck.
"Go."
He waved his hand and Jin Chanzi was sent back to his original place.
"Master, we'll take our leave now."
The young men pretended nothing had happened, bowed respectfully, and prepared to leave.
"crunch~"
But just as they reached the door, a pair of dragon claws stretched out and gently closed the door, and their eldest brother Zhuming smiled at them outside the door.
At this level, only these little bastards and the old rabbit are left in the room.
"Big Brother, don't do this."
Yuxuan pretended to be pitiful, but this trick was no longer effective.
Chen Zhu's face straightened, and he said righteously, "Report, I'm an undercover agent."
Yuxuan's face turned dark and she was unable to speak.
They felt the murderous aura, and Patriarch Bodhi was so aggressive that he grabbed them all in his hand with one slap.
"You are so lawless! You dare to catch Tang Seng. If I had come a little later, would you have cut me into pieces and thrown into the water?"
"Okay, okay, since you like to be cooked, today I will let you have a taste of being cooked, just in time to refine your Nine Transformations Golden Body!"
"Watch me burn the mountains and boil the sea!"
"what!"
Hearing the screams, Chen Zhu looked away, unable to bear to watch any longer.
……
……
He pulled away, stepped on the sunlight and returned to the foot of Lingshan Mountain.
Putting away the tea set, not far from here, there are always monks and nuns sitting cross-legged and collapsing, losing their lives.
Monks and nuns also arrived, sat cross-legged and chanted Buddhist scriptures.
Buddhists cultivate for the afterlife, which means taking the sufferings of this life with them to the next life, and it will definitely be peaceful and stable. If they continue to cultivate merits, they will have a chance to become an Arhat messenger.
He doesn't like Buddhism, but this is also a kind of heaven and earth.
Looking around, there were corpses everywhere. The foot of Lingshan Mountain was ten or a hundred times more terrifying than Purgatory.
On the solemn white jade avenue, Sun Wukong came back with great momentum, holding a stern-faced young man in his hand.
"You guys ran fast, giving me, Old Sun, a hard time catching you!"
There was surprise in Sun Wukong's eyes. He had been chasing for so long, but in the end he only caught one and let the other one run away.
He gritted his teeth and said, "Tell me quickly, where did you take my master?"
Mo Qi struggled: "I will not give in. Tell me, I am the oblique ..."
"It's me~"
"! What are you talking about? Huh?"
Sun Wukong's arms tightened: "What are you talking about, are you kidding me?"
He was about to pick up the Life and Death Stick, but fortunately at this moment, a Candle Dragon came over and raised its fingertips, intending to touch the Life and Death Stick, which would have been more impressive.
But he thought about it and realized that he didn't have the antidote, so he gave up.
"Okay, Junior Brother, stop making trouble."
Chen Zhu grabbed Mo Qi casually and said, "It's not good to kill at the foot of Lingshan Mountain."
Mo Qi looked up and was immediately delighted!
"This monkey is so annoying! Hurry up and save me! Your brother is here!"
"! Holy shit!"
Chen Zhu's face darkened: "What kind of nonsense are you talking about? I don't understand, get out!"
He kicked Mo Qi on the butt, and the latter was immediately kicked back to Fangcun Mountain and thrown into the kitchen accurately.
Patriarch Bodhi was cooking his disciples, and when he realized that it was his reliable and caring disciple who cooked the food, he was immediately moved.
It’s better to use Zhuming, because he knows how to deal with the aftermath.
In fact, that brat is not easy to deal with either, but who can blame us for the comparison?
In the pot, the water was the sea, and the stove was the mountain. The boys were being boiled and crying out, and suddenly they froze for a moment.
"Mo Qi, you're here? Good brother, we knew you wouldn't abandon us."
Mo Qi was speechless, wanting to cry but without tears: "Do you think I want to come back? I was kicked back by my senior brother!"
"Humph, you still have the energy to talk here, I will add fuel to your fire!"
When Patriarch Bodhi saw that the force was still not strong enough, he decided to burn the fallen leaves of the innate maple tree. The innate qi in the dead leaves could also nourish their bodies.
This innate maple tree was brought to the world of Journey to the West by Zhuming, and then the Tao was completed, and naturally there were spring, summer, autumn, winter, and the twenty-four solar terms.
But soon, Patriarch Bodhi discovered something wrong. The innate maple tree was missing a branch.
His face turned pale and he hurried back to the kitchen. He saw that the branch in the stove was burning vigorously.
At this moment, the master was furious, and in Sanxing Cave, thunder rumbled and the sky and the earth collapsed!
"You bastards! I'll burn you to death!"
"The sun is so hot!!!!"
……
……
My fellow disciples should be fine.
Chen Zhu didn't think too much and set his eyes on Sun Wukong.
"Junior brother, how do you feel about this level?"
“Benefited a lot!”
Sun Wukong sat upright, and next to him was Tang Monk, who was still frightened and wanted to say something but didn't dare to.
Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie sat together obediently and carefully folded the gifts that had just been disrupted.
"Snapped!"
Chen Zhu slapped the monkey on the back of the head: "Speaking monkey language!"
Sun Wukong, who was sitting upright, bowed his head, scratched his ears and cheeks, and laughed:
"These tribulations are too difficult. Each one is very difficult. It would be great if there was an easy way out."
"But luckily, we will soon reach Lingshan, and then I, Old Sun, will be free!"
This is right.
Chen Zhu silently raised his head: "Brother, I will leave for the time being. After you marry the true scripture, I will give you a surprise."
After he finished speaking, he turned around and glanced at Tang Sanzang again.
The latter's shoulders twitched and he nodded hastily. He understood, he really understood. He had not heard or seen anything today. No one in the entire Three Realms understood better than him!
Chen Zhu nodded with satisfaction and left.
His innate qi has been exhausted, and he has to go back to the prehistoric world to replenish it.
"Xiao Zhuming, you're back?"
Elder Qing said, "Daoyou Taiping is still angry, do you want to go and see..."
Chen Zhu's shoulders trembled. How could he dare to look at it at this time? He turned around and stepped into the light river again:
"Please don't say anything nonsense. Wait until Taoist Taiping calms down a bit. I'm afraid he'll find out I lied to him and kill me with his sword."
"I still have something to do, so I'm leaving first."
This time he went to Chen Dachui's world.
"Sledgehammer, Sledgehammer, are you there?"
He pulled Chen Dachui up from the bed, and the latter wiped his saliva subconsciously.
"Boss, what's the matter? Why is it so urgent?"
"It's urgent. There's only a few days left. Could you please help me find some books?"
"What book?" Chen Dachui rubbed his eyes and took out his phone: "I'll place an order for you online. It will arrive tomorrow."
Then, Chen Zhu said seriously: "Theses on Feuerbach, The German Ideology, The Poverty of Philosophy, Wage Labor and Capital, Marxism-Leninism..."
Chen Dachui: ???
Well... At the end of the chapter, I recommend the book to my author friends. I hope they can recommend the book to me too. Everyone is welcome to read it~
