Chapter 617: Another Path to Lingshan
Suddenly, space froze and time stood still.

It was as if the entire Lingshan Mountain was paused in an instant, and the vivid colors faded from all things. Only Zhang Ke and the Buddha head in his hand still retained their original appearance.

Seeing this, the Buddha, who had been in a trance, finally regained some of his self-esteem. His slightly dim eyes scanned the surroundings through Zhang Ke's tall perspective.

He knew that the old guys in Heaven would not let Emperor You go out alone, and they would always send a few people to protect him in secret.

However, what the Buddha did not expect was that Emperor You's growth was too unexpected, or perhaps he was not well prepared due to the recent closure of the mountain and his excessive focus on Lingshan, which led to lack of information. As a result, in a pure fight, he was taken down in one fell swoop before he could even last fifty rounds.

With absolute advantage, behead him and display his head to the public!
If the current situation had happened earlier, He would not be so lost and dazed, but being easily beaten by a child less than a hundred years old and protected from death, this is...
However, neither Zhang Ke nor the existence of the time stop speculated by the Buddha cared much about the Buddha who was captured and still had some ulterior motives.

As time in the outside world stagnated and all visible and invisible things fell into a state of passive isolation and unable to communicate with the outside world, Zhang Ke saw wisps of white smoke rising from the body of the crazy Monkey King, gathering into clouds in mid-air, and finally turning into a white-headed ferocious ape that was a hundred meters tall!

Its head is white and its body is green, with its forehead raised high as if by keratin. Its sunken nose and sharp teeth sticking out from the corners of its lips make its already ugly face look even more bandit-like. Although its figure is as small as a grain of corn in the eyes of ordinary people compared to Zhang Ke, who has deployed the Fa Tian Xiang Di and is blessed by Ying Long, it is a bully among ordinary monkeys. Its strong upper body and scars all over its body prove that it is a pure fighting machine.

There is a layer of golden eyeshadow on his eyes, which is the only sign that he has in common with the Monkey King below.

But to Zhang Ke, He has a name that is more well-known to the public - Huaiwo Water Lord Wuzhiqi!

When he saw the other person, there was no surprise in Zhang Ke's eyes.

After all, in the ancient myths and unofficial histories, there has always been a legend that the Monkey King evolved from Wuzhiqi. They are both monkeys, wild and rude, and have the same flaming eyes and golden pupils. Such indirect evidence is indeed much more reliable than the rumors about the Sky-Bulding Stone.

At least in the mythology that Zhang Ke knew, Nuwa, as one of the barbarian kings, would not leave such an obvious mistake to be made into a monkey to tarnish her name. Of course, even if there was, with Nuwa's temper, from the monkeys to the troublemakers, the whole family would be plowed, and no one would survive!

Don't really take the kind-faced woman from the Yan tribe, who always sits under a tree and watches a group of elders and a few monkeys playing around with a smile, as the real Nuwa.

If you don’t have a bit of temper, you really can’t be the king!
As for Nuwa in the Yanbu time segment, after all, not everyone can be like Zhang Ke, who pulls down the high and mighty ancestors in the mythology of the Savage Nine Provinces from the altar and exposes their angry and frustrated side behind their solemn appearance.
What's more, Zhang Ke had heard Wuzhiqi say long before that he had left many incarnations in Jiuzhou, Meishan Yuanhong being one of them. And as the only two monkey-headed men who caused a big scene in mythological history, it was normal for Wuzhiqi to have some followers.

When Zhang Ke looked at Wuzhiqi, Wuzhiqi was also looking at Zhang Ke with a smile, and his face revealed a kindness that was inconsistent with his personality:

"Feeling lost?"

"What's so strange about this? Not everyone can be as safe and sound as you are. In the wilderness and the Nine Provinces, there are many people who have met with accidents and ended up in a miserable state!"

In just a moment, he felt as if countless kind elders' gentle gazes were focused on him. Feeling uncomfortable, Zhang Ke couldn't help but point directly at the key point:
"Yes, if you had that ability, you wouldn't have been suppressed by King Yu and Yinglong under the Huai River forever!"

What Zhang Ke didn't expect was that after he said that, Wuzhiqi's expression was not angry at all, but rather complacent: "That's right, if it weren't for those two bastards who didn't follow martial ethics and bullied me, the flood in the wilderness wouldn't have been quelled so easily!"

No, you were beaten to the point of being paralyzed and lying at the bottom of the river for countless years, and you are still so proud of it?
Oh, King Yu fought with Yinglong, so it’s okay!

After all, the last person who was treated like this was Chi You who caused the Battle of Zhuolu, and the latter's lineup was also the backup Human King and Yinglong. Although the lineup of ancient gods was more luxurious, in some cases, those that should be deliberately ignored should be ignored.

Thus, in the entire barbaric history, these two people were the only ones who could cause the whole world to rise up and attack them. Compared with Chi You, whose body was separated and disassembled into parts, He Wuzhiqi was only paralyzed on one side of his body. Shouldn't he be proud of that?
Whoever refuses to accept this can go and try and see if those angry human kings can kick His head like a ball.
"."

Zhang Ke had nothing to say and couldn't say anything.

He was too naive earlier. What's with the random orders and the full concentration? It turns out that my every move is under your surveillance?

Oh, I only remembered to criticize the Heavenly Court, but forgot to whip those old Dengs who were hiding in the blood and peeping.

No, aren’t you all so free?
If you have the time, with so many joys and sorrows in the world, why don't you punish evil and promote good, and perform your duties and keep an eye on him?
Zhang Ke, feeling uneasy, could only say sorry to Wuzhiqi.

It's not that he is ungrateful or ungrateful, it's simply that his family is too strict with him. The intrigues between the parents on both sides are already torturous enough. If Wuzhiqi is added, who knows what will happen to Zhang Ke? Anyway, the old Dengs don't have the ability to kill him, but Wuzhiqi... I'm afraid that King Yu will not be the only one who runs to the Huai River every now and then in the future.

With such high efficiency, I think if you hang a sign saying "Beat the Evil Monkey Thirty-one Times" by the Huai River, business should be pretty good, right?
When Zhang Ke was thinking about some evil thoughts in his mind, Wuzhiqi also felt something.

He is just a fragmentary true spirit. Unless he seizes the body of Sun Wukong, who is his incarnation, and combines his soul with his body to call upon some of the power that belongs to his original body, it is difficult for him to do anything when he appears alone.

Although His name is Wuzhiqi, even a wisp of His true spirit alone has power that is unimaginable for ordinary people, but what He is facing are not mortals, not ordinary immortals and gods, but ancient beings who are located at the top of the wilderness and the Nine Provinces and are in harmony with heaven and earth.

This group of old immortals are scary enough when they appear individually, but if they plan as a group, the Void Outer Realm, which was previously defeated and suffered heavy losses, is the best portrayal of this.

Wu Zhiqi guessed something from Zhang Ke's easy-to-understand expression and decisively changed the subject: "I'm leaving?"

"Go? Where?"

"Go back to Huaishui!" Knowing that his plan had failed, Wuzhiqi looked at the Monkey King who was crying and laughing like a doll and said coldly: "Not only this, the true spirits of other incarnations will be gathered back to their original bodies one by one. As for it..."

"Now that Lingshan has been destroyed by you, and the Heavenly Court has no need for it, it's time for it to live the life it wants!"

As he spoke, pity almost flowed out of Wuzhiqi's eyes.

Unlike those beings who have strict control over their incarnations, or even whose incarnations are their real bodies.

Wuzhiqi's idea of ​​separating into different incarnations came simply from his own difficult circumstances. However, monkeys are naturally lively and active, and he could not stand loneliness, so he scattered tens of thousands of true spirits to various places in the two worlds to experience life.

Not to mention those who were wiped out along the way, or those who died prematurely and failed to grow up.

Speaking of the two most famous ones, whether it is Yuan Hong or Sun Wukong, before meeting Zhang Ke, both of them lived their lives according to their own personalities and ideas from beginning to end. Although it cannot be said that there is no shadow of Wuzhiqi in them, He appears to the outside world more as a person with extraordinary talent and eyes.

That is to say, in the conventional sense, just listen and watch, without saying or doing anything.

Even so, these two incarnations could not avoid being plotted against, and one was more miserable than the other. Even with Yuan Hong's help, Wuzhiqi had already asked Bodhi to be Monkey King's teacher, and had gained some skills and a favor, but in the end he still could not escape the covetousness of Lingshan.

But now, the storms have finally come and gone.

Wuzhiqi, who had seen enough, did not plan to stay any longer. After all, compared to this little bit of Jiuzhou, the wild fun of the upcoming "rainy season" was more enjoyable. What's more, with the overall chaos, he might even be able to escape.

Who would have the time to peek through the screen when you can experience all the beauty of the world in person?
Of course, no matter how treacherous and changeable the external situation is, according to the monkey's character of watching the fun, he still looked at Zhang Ke affectionately before leaving: "I will wait for you at Huaishui, no matter when, but if you ask for something, I will show up!"

Ah!
what?
Looking at Wuzhiqi who disappeared after saying those words, and at the same time, the gazes on him suddenly became heavier, Zhang Ke's eyes suddenly went dark.

It's no wonder that King Yu would go to the Huai River to beat you up whenever he had the chance. Every time you were beaten, it was always unjust!
Wuzhiqi left, and the stagnant space in Lingshan returned to normal. Seeing everything come alive again, Zhang Ke no longer had the same feeling as before. Then, the next moment, a red and violent sea of ​​fire swept across the entire Lingshan.

Countless novices and monsters were entangled in the raging flames and turned into burning torches, with their flesh and blood and true spirits being rapidly depleted.

The originally lush and beautiful sacred mountain took on some kind of brilliant glass color after being melted by the raging fire. After the surface soil, rocks and vegetation were burned, the treasures and wealth exposed were so precious that even Zhang Ke was dumbfounded.

All kinds of rare treasures, gold, silver and gems were melted into golden water by the pure flames. The scorching magma turned into surging waves that mercilessly hit the magic barriers. The turbulent barriers made the beings within them tremble with fear. Their usual calm expressions could no longer be maintained at this moment.

“There’s no need to be so extreme!”

Looking at the Lingshan Mountain, where everything was melting in the sea of ​​fire and tending to collapse, Zhang Ke glanced at Emperor Wenchang who appeared on his shoulder and said helplessly, "But don't you think it's a little late to say this?"

"That's why I showed up!"

Feeling emotional and helpless.

Seeing at least one third of the lives being burned to death in the sea of ​​fire in an instant, and other types of losses exceeding half, Emperor Wenchang felt a twitching pain in his heart. Just now everyone was busy intercepting Wuzhiqi, but they didn't expect that when they were not paying attention, their own naughty child would give them a big job!

Destroy Lingshan?

That's something this unfortunate thing could do.

But in comparison, instead of destroying Lingshan and waiting for a new "Lingshan" to rise from the left path, it is better to preserve the original Lingshan system and make some modifications to make it more suitable for Kyushu.

Of course, to be honest, whether it is Lingshan or Zuodao, if it is according to the thoughts of the emperors and the gods in heaven, they really don’t want to go through so much trouble and just destroy it together.

But his own disciples were unable to stand up.

It was as if the Taiping Dao had exhausted the violence of the Taoist sect. Although there had been occasional disturbances since then, the entire Taoist sect had completely laid flat like a salted fish. Apart from cultivating immortals and ascending to heaven, there was nothing else that could arouse their interest.

In this complex and chaotic world of mortals, there must be a group of nosy guys to share the pressure of the immortals themselves.

There is nothing wrong with this, as countless worlds in the void do this. The Wilderness is an exception because the Human King and that group of reckless men have taken over this responsibility themselves. After the ancient gods and mythical beasts were forced to limit themselves to regulating the authority of heaven and earth, the human race has enough energy to adjust itself, but not Jiuzhou!

In this way, the sacred mountain will not only not be destroyed, but will instead prosper to a certain extent.

"But this Buddha and all the Buddhas"

Zhang Ke raised his head in his hand as if nothing had happened to signal to the Emperor. He was not some second-rate guy who would raise a tiger to cause trouble. After making sure that he had offended Lingshan to death, cutting the grass and eradicating the roots was Zhang Ke's only thought.

Knowing Zhang Ke's worries, Emperor Wenchang said calmly, "You don't need to worry about this. Jiuzhou needs Lingshan, but it doesn't need Lingshan. If you find it useful, then take it with you to play. If you don't want to take care of it, then have someone send it to the underworld and let Hou Tu Niangniang deal with it!"

Riddler, get out of Kyushu!
Seeing that Emperor Wenchang did not seem to be pretending, Zhang Ke thought for a moment and then opened his mouth to retract the sea of ​​fire raging everywhere in Lingshan. During the time when the two were talking, more than a million torches had burned themselves out and turned into ashes floating in the sky with the wind.

After doing all this, Zhang Ke raised the Buddha head in his hand in front of him and looked at each other: "Since the emperor is begging for mercy, then let's put this matter behind us."

"But as a cause and effect, the Buddha must help me guide the way and act as an advisor. When everything is settled, I will let you return to Lingshan, okay?"

"Amitabha, do I have any right to refuse?"

Looking at Zhang Ke who had already placed the tip of the knife on the back of his head and started to "shave his head", even though Buddha had tried to accept everything, he still felt depressed in his chest.

Of course, He was not in a mood to feel depressed now that His body was torn apart.

After receiving the latter's definite reply, Zhang Ke turned around and returned the same way without any reluctance.

The Lingshan Gate, which already had a big hole in it, was directly hit by Zhang Ke in the Dharma state. The originally expanded passage was torn to an extreme at this time. Unstable space cracks opened up everywhere, and the chaotic storm blocked every creature that wanted to pass through.
After a long time, when the hot magma solidified, the frightened Buddhists looked at their devastated homes with compassion, at which a figure with a smooth forehead was escorted through the chaotic gate of Lingshan.

Behind him, several creatures with different appearances that did not resemble humans were looking around with their heads raised.

"Master, this broken place is Lingshan, this is too..."

"Don't want to come? Then you can go back. Your master didn't force you. Going back to the Tang Dynasty to translate scriptures, traveling to various temples to explain Buddhist principles, curing illnesses and saving lives, and slaying demons and monsters are all great merits and great compassion. It's better to go back!"

The fat monk with a simple face came forward carefully, supported the monk who was about to cross the hot rock, and asked, "What about you, Master?"

"Now that I have arrived at Mount Lingshan, I will not leave unless I visit the Great Hall and discuss the scriptures with the Buddhas!"

Master Xuanzang looked solemnly at the remains of the Buddha, most of which had sunk into the ground, and couldn't help but sigh.

Although he had worked with Di You before, every time he met him, he could reshape his original perspective on everything he was trying to understand.

Although Master Xuanzang does not reject the style of killing barbarians and sweeping away disloyalty, blind annihilation (physical) is not as good as being convinced and voluntarily becoming a dog of the Tang Dynasty, which gives people a sense of accomplishment. Ahem, to be precise, the Buddha is merciful, and even the barbarians must be given a chance to reform.

As for not repenting, huh? There is no need to repent even if you are dead. After all, Buddha still has some tolerance.

"Master Xuanzang, Lingshan is now in your hands!"

When the master and his disciples were preparing to climb over the mountains and climb the Buddha's body to the main hall, Emperor Wenchang, who had appeared on Zhang Ke's shoulder earlier, suddenly appeared beside them. He bowed to them from the bottom of his heart and apologized, "I originally wanted to ask the North and South Yue Emperors to escort you to Lingshan, but who would have thought that the situation would change so quickly that Lingshan would be destroyed in a moment of carelessness."

"But fortunately, the Buddha is gone, and the other Buddhas are distracted, so you can take over Lingshan with ease. As for the subsequent reconstruction, after this period of time, the Heavenly Court will provide assistance as much as possible and will never make things difficult for you."

"Amitabha, Your Majesty, there is no need to do this!"

Xuanzang said: "You have helped a lot by sending me to Lingshan. As for the matter of arguing with the Buddhas, I will do it myself. The Buddhist principles do not rely on fists, but on a heart that is truly kind and compassionate to all living beings!"

"As for taking over Lingshan, I just want to make all Buddhist scriptures in the world the canon, guide people to be good, and save all living beings. Longevity is not my wish."
