I am guarding the sky prison in Journey to the West

Chapter 154

Che Chiguo, Huiyuan County.

The clouds are dense, the wind is howling, and the snow is as heavy as goose feathers, and the surrounding area is covered with silver.

The Haohaotangtang Eight Hundred Li Tongtian River is also completely frozen, and many pedestrians...

No, to be more precise, the pedestrians transformed from monsters are walking on the ice!

Like the original time and space, after learning that Tang Seng and his party had arrived in Chenjiazhuang, the king of inspiration had the idea of ​​eating Tang Seng's meat.

Under the suggestion of his subordinate, the striped mandarin fish, he used spells to freeze the Tongtian River, and when the Tang monk, master and disciples walked on the river, the ice would burst and bring them back to the cave.

"Brother Li, what my old grandson said is right?"

The monkey pointed to the icy and snowy land below, and complained: "That guy is really daring! Calling the wind and calling the rain is nothing more than that, and using such means to forcibly change the weather, and freeze this area for a hundred miles! He didn't understand the rules and regulations of the sky!" , I didn’t pay attention to you, Brother Li!”

Li Anran: "..."

Li Anran didn't pay attention to the monkey, and glanced at the Tongtian River below, but he was muttering in his heart.

King Inspiration's method of freezing thousands of miles is quite powerful, freezing the entire Tongtian River, the ice layer is at least a dozen meters thick, and the ice surface is far harder than ordinary ice.

But because of this, the traces of man-made spells are very obvious!
Coupled with the fake traders who come and go on the river.

Not to mention a monkey with piercing eyes, but any monk with a normal head can see the tricks in it!

However, in the original time and space, the three brothers Monkey, Zhu Bajie, and Sand Monk seemed to be blinded and brain-twitched at the same time, and they took Tang Seng to the ice to cross the river!
There is only one possibility for this obviously abnormal phenomenon——

The three monkey brothers did it on purpose!
The only thing that is uncertain is that the three of them, the monkey, or more directly, the monkey who made the final decision deliberately used Tang Seng as bait in order to eliminate the demon, and then missed it for a while, causing Tang Seng to be caught.

Still aware of the tricks behind the pilgrimage to the West, deliberately let the monster take Tang Seng away.

"If I hadn't time-traveled, as Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk, I should still know some inside stories about the pilgrimage to the West. Only the monkey is completely kept in the dark and doesn't know anything."

"With the mind of a monkey and the cautiousness raised under the Five Elements Mountain, after experiencing so many things, it should be aware of some clues. It is also very possible to use Tang Monk to test Lingshan's reaction."

Li Anran is more inclined to the second possibility.

Monkeys have never been kind, let alone jealous of evil.

Looking at the many times he slayed demons on the Westward Journey, either the monsters first captured Tang Seng to provoke him, or they wanted to show their holiness in front of people.

It is unlikely that he would use Tang Seng as bait just for a mere Chenjiazhuang!
It is more likely that he is using Tang Seng to test Lingshan's reaction!
However, Li Anran reckoned that the monkey in the original time and space might not have thought that he pretended to be a fool and made nonsense with a suggestion to cross the river on ice.

The two brothers Zhu Bajie and Drifting really dare to respond!
Especially Zhu Bajie, he used his nine-toothed rake to goug the ice surface of Tongtian River with all his strength, leaving only nine white spots in the end!

Such an obvious abnormal phenomenon, he just said that the ice layer is thick enough to not break open!

He also pretended to ask for some straw to wrap the hooves of the white dragon horse, saying that it would not be easy to slip!
Then, he took Tang Seng up to the ice layer, let the king of inspiration break through the ice, and took Tang Seng away.

And the three of them flew into the midair, nothing happened!

After that, the three brothers were not in a hurry to save people, but went back to Chenjiazhuang to have a full meal before turning around to save Tang Seng!

All they had to do was write it on their faces that they did it on purpose and that they didn't worry about Tang Seng's safety at all!
After that, the monkey encouraged Zhu Bajie and Sand Monk to go down the river to catch the monster, while he stayed on the bank to paddle for fish.

Just when the King of Inspiration jumped out of the water, he swung a few sticks indiscriminately, and couldn't wait to go to Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea to test Guanyin's reaction!

As a result, I saw Guanyin with disheveled clothes and weaving a bamboo basket early in the morning, then hurriedly left him, rushed to Tongtianhe, captured the king of inspiration, and wiped out the mouths of all living things in Tongtianhe!
Tang Seng was safe and sound!

It should be at this time that the monkey guessed that there was something tricky behind the pilgrimage to the West, and began to work without any effort, moving rescuers in various ways.

Unlike when facing the yellow wind monster, the black bear monster, and the red boy before, when they were really helpless or suffered a big loss, they only went to others for help.

Compared with the original time and space, the monkey in front of him knows more about the truth behind the journey to the West.

He already knew the Buddhist Taoism hidden behind the Western Paradise, and also knew that the Buddhist sect wanted him to surrender his name and break with the Taoist sect.

After realizing that the king of inspiration is not a mortal monster, Monkey decisively chose to go to the heavenly court to file a complaint.

On this point, the monkey should have learned from Immortal Huli by using the five thunder method to seek rain!

Although it will be more troublesome to go through formal channels, it is better than having any worries, and no one can find faults!
The monkey said: "Brother Li, my grandson has never been good at underwater things. When going to the sea and river, you have to twist the water-avoiding formula, or change the shape of the fish and crab. If you twist the formula like that, you can't swing an iron rod." , can’t use supernatural powers, can’t beat monsters. This time, it’s all up to you!”

Li Anran: "..." Do you dare to be a little more fake!When you went to the East China Sea Dragon Palace to grab the golden cudgel, why didn't you see that you couldn't do it?
Li Anran couldn't help but rolled his eyes.

This monkey has really changed!

In order not to cause trouble, they all learned to put down their face and take the initiative to give in!

Swish!
With a wave of Li Anran's right hand, a golden light scattered.

The dense clouds all over the sky dissipated instantly like morning fog when it met the scorching sun, the strong wind stopped suddenly, and the snowflakes disappeared.

The golden light fell on the earth and the river, and the thick snow and solid ice began to melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

It's just a few breaths before and after.

Huiyuan County has a radius of thousands of miles, it seems that from the cold winter to the early spring, everything before has dissipated like an illusion.

Only those monsters that fell into the water turned into their original forms one after another. They were all water monsters like catfish and crabs. They rolled over the river twice before fleeing to the cave.

There were also some mortals on both sides of the Tongtian River who noticed the strangeness outside and were stunned and rubbed their eyes.

Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie, and Drifting Monk also came out together with Yuanwai Chen.

Tang Seng and Chen Yuanwai were mortals with naked eyes, but Zhu Bajie and Drifting saw Li Anran and the monkey in the air at a glance.

Zhu Bajie immediately shrank his head and retreated into the room. He had suffered a great loss under Li Anran's hands back then, and now he is still a little apprehensive looking at Li Anran.

Drifting Monk was better, but he wasn't too happy to see Li Anran, so he just pretended he didn't see him, and stood by Tang Monk's side, pretending to protect his master's safety.

"Brother Li, it really is a good method!" Monkey couldn't help admiring.

Recovery is much harder than destruction!
The king of inspiration was frozen for thousands of miles overnight, which is already impressive!
With a backhand, Li Anran broke the spell of King Inspiration without causing any harm to the mortal creatures. This kind of method is even more powerful!
"The great sage praised it absurdly." Li Anran didn't take it seriously.

His water spells were learned from the sermons of the Supreme Sage. It would be strange if he could not compare to the King of Inspiration who practiced with Avalokitesvara!
Li Anran didn't want to waste time, and immediately lowered the cloud head, and was about to enter the Tongtian River to capture the king of inspiration, when a voice suddenly came from a distance.

"Prison God, wait a moment!"

Following the prestige, one can see a cloud of auspicious clouds flying in a hurry in the distance.

The person with the cloud head is the Guanyin Bodhisattva, but at this time, the Guanyin Bodhisattva has bare feet and bare arms, and his skin is crystal clear, as white as suet jade.

He was only wearing a small jacket and a brocade skirt, his hair was a little messy, he had never worn a wreath, he was holding a purple bamboo basket that had not yet been woven in his left hand, and several bamboo strips in his right hand.

While shouting at them, they flew over in a hurry, while they kept weaving bamboo baskets.

"Bodhisattva?!" The monkey rubbed his eyes vigorously, with the expression of seeing a ghost.

He has also met Guanyin several times, but every time Guanyin is solemn and solemn, with compassion and aloofness. This is the first time he has seen Guanyin with disheveled clothes and no make-up!

Did you come here in such a hurry that you didn't even finish weaving the bamboo basket?
Li Anran was also slightly taken aback.

He had met Avalokitesvara in Calabash Mountain before, and he could not feel any emotional fluctuations in Avalokitesvara at all.

But at this moment, he was clearly aware of anxiety!
What is hidden in Tongtian River?Can Guanyin be rushed like this?

Li Anran was even more curious, but also somewhat puzzled.

The thing behind the Tongtian River is so shady, why didn't the Taishang Laojun use it as an excuse to blackmail Guanyin and even Lingshan, instead of attracting monk Tang and his disciples!

If it's just for the sake of Buddhism and Taoism, wouldn't it be like throwing away the watermelon and picking up the sesame seeds?
"Prison God."

Guanyinyun was extremely fast, and arrived in front of them in an instant. Seeing that Li Anran hadn't caught the king of inspiration, he was slightly relieved, and moved faster with his hands, weaving the bamboo basket non-stop.

"I have seen Guanyin Bodhisattva." Li Anran stepped forward to salute.

Although Avalokitesvara betrayed and converted to Buddhism, Xuanmen and Taoism have always maintained a superficial harmony, and he must respect Avalokitesvara.

At least, on the surface it seems so.

"Bodhisattva." The monkey stepped forward to salute, and couldn't help asking, "Why did the Bodhisattva come here today? Still... still dressed like this?"

The first half of the sentence is knowingly knowing why, and the second half of the sentence is that the monkey really didn't want to understand!
He has encountered more than one incident of gods and Buddhas leaving their mounts and pets to become demons!
Even if the king of inspiration is related to Avalokitesvara, that's not the case, is it?

While speaking, Zhu Bajie and Drifting also flew over.

They didn't want to meet Li Anran at first, but now that Guanyin is here, they can't do it if they don't come out.

Seeing Avalokitesvara dressed up like this, she hurriedly bowed down and said, "I'm guilty of doing (offensive) at will! Guilty!"

Avalokitesvara ignored them, but looked at Li Anran with a little shame, and said: "Prisoner God, the King of Inspiration in the Tongtian River is a goldfish raised in my lotus pond. He floats his head to listen to scriptures every day, and cultivates skills."

"I don't know which day it was, the tide was high, and I fled here. I was looking at the flowers on the railing this morning, but I didn't see this fellow coming out to pay respects, pinching his fingers and patrolling his lines, thinking that he would become a master here and do evil, so he didn't have time to dress up. Use your magic skills, weave a bamboo basket and capture him."

Li Anran pretended to be surprised and said: "This King of Inspiration is actually a goldfish in the Bodhisattva's lotus pond? No wonder he has such tricks! But Bodhisattva, don't need to be so troublesome, I'll go down and catch him for you!"

After all, Li Anran was about to go into the water, Guanyin's expression changed, and in a hurry, he pulled Li Anran back.

Li Anran pulled his arm hard, and the Avalokitesvara leaned forward, but he couldn't shake it off after all, so he turned around and asked with a puzzled look: "What does the Bodhisattva mean by this?"

"Prison God."

Avalokitesvara glanced at Li Anran's face, observed carefully for a few times, but couldn't see any clues, and said: "I didn't notice for a while, let that fish escape, it's not right to cause harm to the world, how can it be better?" Please do it! My bamboo basket is about to be weaved, and the Prison God will be ready in a moment!"

Li Anran was about to refuse, but suddenly felt palpitations, and immediately changed his words and said: "In this case, I will entrust the Bodhisattva to capture the King of Inspiration."

Ever since he realized the principle of cause and effect in the Golden Cave, Li Anran's perception has become more acute.

A premonition of imminent disaster had arisen in his heart just now. If he directly rejected Guanyin, Guanyin would probably attack him!

Only then did he change his mouth.

"This is what I should do." Guanyin noticed the astonished expressions of the three monkey brothers next to him, and let go of Li Anran's hand without any trace.

Li Anran said: "Bodhisattva, there is something I need to explain to you in advance."

Avalokitesvara asked, "What's the matter?"

Li Anran said: "This inspired the king to build temples and temples to cheat incense, use spells to change the sky, and force people to sacrifice boys and girls, which has violated the rules of heaven..."

Halfway through Li Anran's words, Guanyin's face darkened, and his terrifying aura was overwhelming like a tide.

The monkey was startled.

Zhu Bajie and Drifting stared even wider, their hands and feet were trembling.

They have never seen anyone dare to talk to Guanyin Bodhisattva like this!
Li Anran did not dodge or dodge, neither humble nor overbearing, his eyes met the gaze of Guanyin Bodhisattva, and continued: "I need to take it back to the prison, report it to the Jade Emperor, and hand it over to the Jade Emperor for punishment!"

Guanyin didn't speak, just stared at Li Anran with a pair of eyes.

The atmosphere became more and more oppressive.

The world seemed to have sensed something, and it was a bit dim.

Just when the monkey couldn't help but wanted to step forward to persuade Li Anran, Guanyin finally spoke.

"It is said that the Prison God is highly appreciated by the Judiciary God, and was single-handedly promoted by the Judicial God. You really learned a lot from her! This matter, I agreed!"

"Thank you Bodhisattva." Li Anran's face was still calm and his tone was indifferent, but he breathed a sigh of relief in his heart.

Avalokitesvara obviously doesn't want people to know the hidden things in Tongtian River, so she doesn't care about her image or cover it up.

Li Anran didn't dare to touch this bad luck, looking for any evidence, he had no choice but to take the next best thing and arrest the king of inspiration into the sky prison.

In this way, he can know what happened in it!
Guanyin stopped talking and concentrated on weaving the bamboo basket.

Soon, she finished weaving the bamboo basket, untied a silk sash from the jacket, tied the basket, held the silk sash, half stepped on the clouds, threw it into the river, slid up and pulled it, and chanted Zi said: "Go to the dead, live to live, go to the dead, live to live!"

After reading it seven times, I picked up the basket, but I saw a goldfish shining brightly in the basket, with eyes and scales beheaded.

And the Tongtian River is already filled with death, all the water monsters, fish spirits and even ordinary aquariums have all died!
Their souls were also rescued by Guanyin and sent to reincarnation!
There is no trace left in the world!
