My Journey to the West on the Heavenly Road

Chapter 258 Marshal Tianpeng
No. [-] mountain, withered pine stream, a secluded forest.

Jiang Yuan watched a group of auspicious clouds fly into the forest, and soon heard the faint sound of shouting and killing.

That is Dharma Protector Vajra, leading the four Jiedi, Yintou, Poluo, Poluo Monk, and Maha, and the three meritorious officers who are on duty for the month, day, and hour, and continue to clear the monsters in Haoshan Mountain.

In addition, Jiang Yuan's mount, the donkey, also went to join in the fun.

The movement became farther and farther away, and gradually there was only a whistling wind. Jiang Yuan turned his head to look at the meritorious man of the year, and said:

"Even if all the priests cleared away the demon atmosphere today, I'm afraid that it won't be long before new monsters will occupy this mountain forest again and become kings."

The sunlight cast golden light through the trees, and the meritorious officer of the year stood under the shade of the tree behind the golden light, wearing a green robe, with a thin face and a godlike air.

Behind the priest, there is a "hill" - a big black-skinned buffalo!
The buffalo's eyes were closed, its neck was in shackles, and its body was covered with burns. Large areas of skin and flesh were fused together, making it hideous and terrifying.

This is the original form of the bull demon.

An hour ago, the cow demon was screaming and screaming after being burned by the secret method of wind and fire. If Cao Cao on duty hadn't loudly reminded Jiang Yuan to be merciful, he might have died on the spot.

The reason for the intercession was a piece of black iron waist plate that the meritorious officer found from the fainting bull demon after the battle.

There are eight words engraved on that card: "Sailor of Tianhe, Qingsha Tongqu"

It turned out that the cow demon was the hydraulic engineer who was in charge of dredging the river and cleaning up the sand in the river that day. He ran down the boundary at some point and took the refined Tianhe silver sand with him to occupy the mountain as a demon.

Dharma Protector King Kong originally wanted to take the bull demon to the Heavenly Palace to be tortured, but under the persuasion of Sigong Cao and Wufang Jiedi, he sent a letter to the commander of the Tianhe Navy, Marshal Tianpeng, and asked him to take over his subordinates.

The meritorious Cao and Jintou Jiedi stayed behind to guard the bull monster and wait for Marshal Tianpeng.

Hearing Jiang Yuan's words, the meritorious officer on duty glanced at the cow demon, and saw that there was no sign of waking up. He once again lamented Jiang Yuan's current magic power, then pointed to the golden-headed Jiedi on the other side, and replied with a smile:

"Lingshan has already invited the Heavenly Palace. In the future, it will grant mountain gods and land here. It is said that there will be one mountain god for ten miles, and one land for ten miles, so as to ensure the smooth flow of mountain roads and unimpeded travel."

Not far away, the old monk Salud sat opposite Jintou Jiedi, surrounded by Fuduoluo and other disciples.

I saw that Jiedi put his palms together and released the Buddha's light, and asked in a low voice: "Monk, what scriptures do you want to pass on when you go to the East?"

Salud, an old monk, respectfully replied: "The Agama Sutra, Arahantship."

Jintou Jiedi's expression was solemn: "Nanzhan Buzhou has a prosperous human way, and a hundred schools of thought contend. It is known as the 'Shenzhou', but it is a pity that the world is so ignorant, addicted to fighting for fame and fortune, and it is far away from my Lingshan. Listen to the wonderful Dharma."

As he said that, Jiedi bowed slightly to the old monk and saluted, "The monk is not afraid of hardships and passed on the Buddha's voice to me, so he should be a 'holy monk'."

"Your Honor is too good to be called a 'Holy Monk'!" The old monk hurriedly clapped his hands together in return.

Jintou Jiedi smiled and said: "If the monk can pass across the eastern land of Shenzhou, he will definitely cast a golden body, bless the Buddha, and add another lotus seat to my Lingshan."

Fuduoluo and other disciples immediately became excited, but the old monk seemed calm and calm, just recited the Buddha's name, put his hands together and bowed his head: "This is also the wish of the old monk."

"Okay, then I wish the monk to fulfill his great vows early and attain Buddhahood." Jintou Jiedi laughed loudly, full of admiration for the old monk.

Here, Jiang Yuan withdrew his gaze, turned to the meritorious officer of the year, and asked curiously: "Is Lingshan going to Nanzhan Buzhou to preach?"

Priest Gongcao smiled lightly, and said casually, "Otherwise, why would you send King Kong to Jiedi to unblock the mountain road?"

After finishing the words, he added: "However, according to what I heard, we will not establish a religion in Shenzhou immediately, but let nature take its course, wait for the water to flow, and then spread the Dharma widely."

Could it be that "at that time" is going west to learn Buddhist scriptures?Jiang Yuan thought to himself.

But it didn't feel right, Tang Seng went to the west to seek Mahayana Buddhism, and before that, Nanzhan Buzhou had Hinayana Buddhism.

So first teach the Hinayana Buddhism, and then hundreds of years later, teach the Mahayana Buddhism?
"Let's not talk about that. I was only concerned with dealing with the buffalo just now, but I didn't have time to catch up with you,"

The year-round meritorious Cao waved his hand, unwilling to discuss Buddhism in private, then looked at Jiang Yuan and exclaimed: "It's only been ten years, and you have already cultivated five qi, and you still have such supernatural powers, it's really amazing!"

Jiang Yuan said humbly: "It's just a lucky chance."

The year-round meritorious Cao shook his head, "To be honest, in the Three Realms, I have never seen a few people who have made rapid progress in cultivation like you, but have a solid foundation and amazing supernatural powers."

"This is by no means 'lucky'." Priest Gongcao stared at Jiang Yuan with piercing eyes, and said slowly: "You have great luck!"

Jiang Yuan smiled, and pointed to the laurel branch wooden hairpin on his finger, and made a joke: "If you say so, priests are also my luck."

"Hahaha" The meritorious service officer of the year burst into laughter, very happy.

The act of doing what he wanted that day was to make friends with a future great power, so how could he not make this priest feel happy.

What is even more gratifying is that Jiang Yuan's current strength has far surpassed him as a priest, but he still keeps close to him.

Jiang Yuan also laughed happily, he didn't have so many thoughts, he was simply the joy of reuniting old people, and he also liked this meritorious priest who valued love and righteousness.

"Where's the priest, how have you been all these years?" Jiang Yuan asked with a smile.

The year-round meritorious service shrugged and said with a casual smile, "Just like in the past, traveling to the Three Realms and receiving talismans must not be as mysterious as the experiences of fellow Taoists."

Suddenly, Priest Gongcao seemed to have thought of something, his smile faded, he glanced at Jintou Jiedi not far away, walked up to Jiang Yuan, and asked in a low voice, "Are you the one who is in charge of the Jinghe River with that eight rivers?" Does the old Dragon King have grievances?"

Jiang Yuan was startled, not because he was shocked when Cao Cao heard about his grievances with the Dragon King of Jinghe, but because he was worried that the Dragon King would go to the Heavenly Court to sue.

The meritorious service officer on duty quickly responded to his concerns.

The priest glanced at the expressionless Jiang Yuan, and continued on his own: "A few years ago, the old Dragon King sent a watch to the Lingxiao Palace, accusing you of killing his son, despising the rules of heaven, and begging the Great Heavenly Venerable to be holy." Order the Heavenly Soldiers to take you."

"Is Tianting acceptable?" Jiang Yuan frowned.

The priest's eyes flickered, he stared at Jiang Yuan and asked, "It only took you one year in the East China Sea to cultivate the fruit of ghost and immortality?"

Jiang Yuan nodded.

Gongcao then issued a series of questioning questions: "Are you closely related to Jishui Hebo and Fang Xiandao Dongyang real person? Do you recognize the ten gods of the Sanguan Palace? Have you ever been the Dragon Lord of the Dragon Mansion in Haizhongzhou? Are you still related to Shizhou and Sandao?"

Not knowing why, Jiang Yuan could only continue to nod.

The meritorious service officer of the year was amazed, "So you have great luck!"

Jiang Yuan came back to his senses, and said in surprise: "But these old friends showed up?"

"Yes."

Priest Gongcao looked at Jiang Yuan with a glowing look in his eyes, "On that day, the Dragon King of Jinghe sent a memorandum, and the Great Heavenly Venerable asked to check the truth, so he sent the warriors to search for your past in the lower realms, and it turned out."

The priest was simply in high spirits.

".Jishui Hebo was the first to refute the Dragon King, and then Fang Xiandao's Dongyang real person said that you have cultivated the fruit of ghosts and immortals. You are an immortal, so be careful; the ten gods of the Sanguan Palace said that you have a pure character and are not a person who acts recklessly. ;The Dragon King of Haizhongzhou even counter-sued the Dragon Clan for wanton violence and oppression of goodness."

"The last is the ten continents and three islands," the priest said, and couldn't help but glance at Jiang Yuan, his face full of curiosity, "They seem to have presented the whole incident to the Lingxiao Palace in detail, and prompted Da Tianzun dismissed Jinghe Dragon King's complaint."

"Jiang Daoyou, you have only been practicing for ten years, but you have already formed a good network." I don't know how many times I have been amazed by the meritorious service of the year.

Jiang Yuan was not complacent, and he silently recited the friends who spoke up for him that day, but he felt a surge of warmth.

This time I went back to the East China Sea, but I wanted to pay a good visit to thank him.

"But fellow Taoists, don't let your guard down," Cao Cao seriously reminded, "The Dragon King of Jinghe River has always been rebellious. .”

Jiang Yuan turned cold, "Did the Dragon King take revenge on my relatives and friends?"

Cao Cao thought about it for a while, then looked up at Jiang Yuan, "Since Lingxiao Palace rejected the complaint, Jinghe Dragon King would not dare to retaliate rashly. But these years, Jinghe Dragon Mansion and Jishui Hebo Mansion have fought against Tiangong There have been many lawsuits, and I heard that the two Dragon Palaces in the East China Sea are very unstable."

"Jinghe Dragon King."

Anger arose in Jiang Yuan's heart, and the figure of ink thread and hemp rope appeared in his mind.

Originally, after hearing Long Live Fox King say that he had already run across Yuelu Mountain and returned empty-handed, Jiang Yuan wanted to wait until later when he was free, and then slowly search for opportunities.

From the looks of it now, let's go to Yuelu Mountain first to find out the result. If you can get the treasure, not to mention the Jinghe Dragon Mansion, even the Dragon Clan of the Four Seas, there is nothing to be afraid of.

"Thank you for the priest's reminder."

After making a decision, Jiang Yuan suppressed his anger and thanked Cao Cao who was on duty for the year.

"It's a pity that I only learned about it later, but it didn't help me much."

Priest Gongcao waved his hand, and then handed over a golden leaf talisman: "This is my cloud seal talisman. If there is anything to do today, please send a message."

There is a cloud seal rune on the golden leaf talisman: "The priest who protects the Dharma is a meritorious service in the year"

With this talisman, you can make a talisman of meritorious priests, use the magic power of the priests to summon the divine light of the Dharma protector, or set up the altar to invite the priests to descend.

"Thank you priest"

Jiang Yuan accepted the talisman and was about to make a sound when a group of auspicious clouds came quickly from the sky.

"It must be Marshal Tianpeng who is here, fellow daoist, follow me to welcome you."

The meritorious officer on duty immediately greeted Jiang Yuan.

At the same time, Jintou Jiedi not far away also ended his conversation with the old monk, got up and walked.

The auspicious clouds fell to the ground and disintegrated, turning into little rays of light and drifting away. A mighty heavenly official lingering in immortality strode out, with fire in his eyes:
"What about the damn buffalo?!"

After saying that, he caught a glimpse of the black-skinned buffalo with burns all over his body, glared at him immediately, and cursed: "I treat you as a picky bastard, how dare you lie to me and sneak into the lower realm, I don't think you want this body skin!"

"Welcome to the true king!"

The year-end meritorious officer and Jintou Jiedi rushed forward to salute, the old monk and others dared not look directly at the mighty god-man, but Jiang Yuan was full of curiosity.

I saw the marshal of the canopy, wearing a golden crown on his head, a divine armor and a black robe with water patterns, a fluttering jade belt hanging from his waist, and real dragon leather boots on his feet. Between strides, there seemed to be golden flowers blooming, and his whole body was full of immortality. Absolutely, auspiciousness is like a canopy.

Such a heavenly official and sage could not have imagined that he would be reduced to such an ugly state in the future!
It can only be said, or the same sentence, since it belongs to the divine way of heaven and enjoys the leisure of the heavenly palace, it means that the mighty power belongs to the heaven and can be deprived at any time.

Marshal Tianpeng noticed Jiang Yuan's strange gaze, and glanced over, showing displeasure.

But seeing that this is an immortal monk who has already cultivated the fairy fruit, and he is in trouble, so he didn't pursue it, just pretending that he didn't see it, he turned his head to Gongcao and Jiedi and cupped his hands:

"My lord has written down your friendship. You and I are no strangers. Today is an urgent matter. I will take this buffalo back to Tianhe for disposal. I will come to thank you in the future."

The four-valued meritorious service and the five-direction Jiedi were originally intended to form a good relationship with Marshal Tianpeng, so naturally they would not do bad things with good intentions, and immediately said respectfully: "The business is important, Zhenjun please do it."

Marshal Tianpeng nodded, walked a few steps to the black buffalo, surprised at the buffalo's injury, and thought to himself: Dharma Guardian Vajra and this meritorious service, Jiedi, I'm afraid they don't have such supernatural powers, could it be.
Tianpeng glanced at Jiang Yuan out of the corner of his eye: It seems that he is capable, and it is no wonder that he is arrogant and disrespectful of his lord, but today he has no time to learn as much as you.

Then I saw the Generalissimo of the Heshui Army holding the horn of the buffalo with one hand, and said in a low voice: "The evil animal is still not awake?"

The black-skinned buffalo trembled all over, and slowly opened its eyes. When it saw the canopy marshal, it immediately kowtowed and begged for mercy: "The little god knows his mistake, the real king spares his life!"

"At this moment, you know you are wrong? Follow me back to Tianhe!"

Marshal Canopy sneered, auspicious clouds formed under his feet, and then he pulled the horns, and the buffalo staggered up the clouds.

"Everyone, I will go."

With a clear whistle, the auspicious clouds flew into the sky.

From the beginning to the end, Jiang Yuan didn't have time to talk to Marshal Tianpeng.

　It's too late, I'm sleepy, and I can't write more than [-] words.
