Invincible from nine bulls and two tigers

Chapter 222 Journey to the West Begins! (4k)

Call ~
Take a deep breath.

The monk with red lips and white teeth sat cross-legged on the ground.

Sweat beads the size of peas were dripping from his forehead.

"Amitabha~"

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together and chanted the Buddha's name in a low voice.

The road to obtaining the true scriptures was not as smooth as he imagined.

After walking out of Chang'an City, he walked towards the place of the scriptures, the place of Lingshan.

But along the way, he discovered something very strange.

That is the location of Lingshan given by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, which is extremely vague.

It can even be said that there is only one general direction.

Where exactly it is and how far it is from Chang'an City, none of this is clear.

After that, there were bandits and bandits along the way, and the strong men of the green forest attacked him.

Even the two strong men assigned to him by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty were killed by these strong men in a fight.

Originally, he could not escape the fate of being killed. Fortunately, at this time, the Buddhist Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the world.

He rescued himself from that group of strong men and answered many questions in his heart.

According to what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, Lingshan has no specific location.

As long as you have enough Buddha nature, you will have a profound understanding of the Buddha's path.

You can do it, you will see the spiritual mountain in your eyes, you will see the spiritual mountain in your heart, and you will reach the spiritual mountain as soon as you step on it!

This made him somewhat puzzled. If Lingshan had nowhere to go, then why did the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty go to Lingshan to obtain the true scriptures himself.

Then Guanyin Bodhisattva said that he wanted to truly understand the Buddha's way and obtain the true scriptures.

Only by experiencing the ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships and clearly understanding all the sufferings in the world can we understand the great wisdom of Buddhism.

Therefore, at this time, he did not have a specific goal or where he wanted to go.

Only in the dark, a thought guided him, making him go somewhere different from the direction given by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty.

After running around for several days, he lost the white horse given by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, and he didn't make much achievements in martial arts.

It made him a little exhausted at this time.

At this moment, I was hiding in the shade, sitting cross-legged, slowly reciting scriptures, and restoring my energy.

After a moment, Tang Sanzang opened his eyes, and there was no trace of boredom in his clear eyes.

Just like a clear spring, it is not disturbed by dust and is extremely pure.

"If we continue a few miles further in this way, we should be able to reach Wuzhi Mountain."

"I wonder if the monkey demon Bodhisattva mentioned is really in this Wuzhi Mountain."

Tang Sanzang took out the dry food from his bag, then looked towards the mountains in front of him, which he was about to enter, and murmured in a low voice.

81 difficulties, hardships and dangers, with low martial arts strength, it may be difficult for him to overcome it successfully.

Therefore, Guanyin Bodhisattva told him that Buddhism had selected three disciples with great supernatural powers for him.

These three will do their best to protect his safety on the way to learn scriptures.

Sun Wukong at the foot of Wuzhi Mountain is the one closest to him and the one with the strongest magical powers.

It's just that Sun Wukong is untamable and unruly and ferocious, so it's a bit difficult to get him to concentrate on escorting him.

Tang Sanzang thought like this, and a scripture suddenly appeared in his mind.

"If the demon monkey is unruly, just recite this scripture and it will naturally be tamed."

At the same time, the words of Guanyin Bodhisattva emerged in his heart.

Recite this scripture silently in your mouth until the physical fatigue subsides.

Only then did Tang Sanzang slowly stand up and walk towards the rolling mountains in front of him.

The moon was rising and setting, and when he came to a mountain that was shaped like five fingers, the sky was already darkening.

He was not eager to find the Sun Wukong mentioned by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

After all, it is a big demon, although according to what the Bodhisattva said

With that scripture called "The Tightening Curse", the monkey demon will not pose a threat to him.

But it was already dark now, and there was no suppression from the blazing sun.

What if the big demon explodes and suddenly tears itself apart?

He was not afraid of death, but he did not understand Buddhism or obtain the true scriptures before his death.

There was so much reluctance and regret in my heart.

With this thought in his mind, he found a natural cave among the mountains.

Then there was no bonfire, and after entering the cave, he sat cross-legged and began to chant scriptures in a low voice.

With the cassock given by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty, the cold and heat will not invade, but I will not feel cold.

bang~
wow~
Thunder rang outside the cave.

Immediately afterwards, raindrops began to fall.

Then the rain became heavier and heavier, and finally it was like falling down, with terrifying force.

Under such commotion, Tang Sanzang naturally would not continue to recite scriptures.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked at the pouring rain outside the cave, with a trace of worry in his eyes.

With such heavy rain, it is inevitable that there will be wild animals looking for shelter in the mountains.

There must be beasts coming to this cave of mine.

The two bodyguards given by the Holy Emperor of the Tang Dynasty died, and there was no one left to protect his own safety at this time.

What should I do if powerful tigers, leopards, and jackals appear?
Thinking of this, he stood up and wanted to light a bonfire.

In order to use fire to drive away the approaching beasts.

Roar! !

But before he could raise the bonfire.

A tiger roar suddenly sounded from outside the cave.

His figure suddenly stagnated, and his heartbeat suddenly became violent.

He slowly raised his head and looked outside the cave.

I saw a huge black shadow gradually emerging from the rain curtain.

Call ~
Then, the fishy smell, like a sharp arrow, instantly poured into the cave.

Tang Sanzang's figure was suddenly washed away by this aura and fell down.

Immediately afterwards, in his eyes, a white-fronted worm with a body as large as an elephant slowly appeared in front of him.

boom!
The tiger's tail swayed slightly, but during the collision, several stones were knocked down from the edge of the cave.

Then the cold tiger eyes stared at him closely, towards Tang Sanzang, and suddenly let out a long roar again.

Roar! !

A more violent wind hit than before.

The violent sound almost pierced his eardrums, made him dizzy, and almost fainted on the spot.

But at this moment, his rapidly beating heart slowly calmed down.

"Amitabha~"

A wry smile appeared on his face, then he clasped his hands together and sat cross-legged.

Looking at the tiger so close to me, its head almost as big as my own, I no longer had any fear in my heart.

"A poor monk has many hardships in his life. Only by practicing Buddhism and practicing Zen can he find peace in his heart."

"I died in a tiger's mouth today. Although I have many regrets, I reached bliss earlier."

The murmuring sound came slowly from his mouth, and then his slightly tense body gradually relaxed, and peace reappeared on his face.

He looked up at the huge tiger in front of him, smiled slightly, and then closed his eyes calmly.

As if to welcome the coming tiger bite.

Roar~~woo~!

The violent roar of the tiger sounded again.

Only halfway through, it suddenly turned into screams and screams.

boom! !

Immediately afterwards, a strong collision and roar sounded in the cave.

The entire cave suddenly fell into violent shaking.

Countless rock fragments fell, and smoke and dust rose everywhere, filling the cave. "Cough cough cough~"

Tang Sanzang suddenly coughed violently.

At this moment, he has not discovered what happened.

He forced himself to open his eyes, but they were covered by smoke and dust, making it difficult to see clearly.

He felt a stinging sensation in his eyes and quickly closed them.

call! !

Then, a sound of exhalation was heard in the ear.

A strong wind appeared in the cave, blowing away the smoke and dust in the sky.

After the uncomfortable feeling faded, Tang Sanzang slowly opened his eyes and looked at the scene happening in front of him.

I saw that the cave was now covered with stone fragments, all of which had fallen from the cave wall.

But the originally huge and fierce white-fronted insect with eye-catching eyes now collapsed on the ground, with a large amount of blood flowing out of its mouth and nose, and it was no longer breathing.

On one side of the cave wall where the tiger body collapsed, the outline of a huge ferocious beast appeared faintly.

This tiger was directly thrown against the cave wall with great force and died from the violent impact.

Tang Sanzang's pupils suddenly tightened, as if he didn't expect that the big insect that was so powerful just now was already dead at this moment.

There was an inexplicable feeling of mourning in my heart. Looking at the tiger corpse on the ground, two lines of tears flowed down from the corners of my eyes.

He then crossed his legs and closed his eyes, began to recite scriptures, and prayed for the salvation of the tiger corpse in front of him.

"Hey, he is a fool."

Suddenly, a mocking voice sounded in his ears.

He knew that the owner of this voice should be the person who saved him.

He immediately increased the speed of reciting the scriptures. After a while, when the recitation of the scriptures was completed, he quickly opened his eyes.

Stand up, put your hands together, whisper the Buddha's name, and then bow down to thank the person.

But when he looked at the person, he suddenly paused again.

Because what appeared in front of him was not the human race he thought.

With a thin body, a tight band on his head, and a furry face with a thunderous mouth, he looked exactly like a monkey demon!
It's just that the other party's face is gloomy and cold at the moment, and his eyes are full of sarcasm, which seems to be extremely disdainful.

When Tang Sanzang first saw the monkey demon in front of him, he was startled, but then he recovered within a few breaths.

He looked at the monkey demon, pondered for a few breaths, and then bowed again and said thank you.

"The poor monk Tang Sanzang would like to thank the benefactor for helping me."

Not hearing the other party's response, Tang Sanzang straightened up.

I saw the other party leaning against the side of the cave, closing his eyes, as if falling into a deep sleep.

Tang Sanzang stood on the ground for a moment, then hesitated for a few breaths, sat cross-legged again, closed his eyes and recited the sutra in a low voice.

The cave fell into silence again, with only the faint sound of chanting echoing.

The monkey demon wearing a tight band on his head looked impatient, but he made no other moves and turned over to continue sleeping.

The heavy rain is still pouring down outside the cave, but if someone looks down from a height.

You can see countless mountain beasts fleeing for a hundred miles around the cave as the center.

Regardless of whether it is raining heavily now, it seems that there is an extremely terrifying existence in the cave.

Boom! !
Lightning fell, illuminating the sky and the earth like daylight.

Then there was the roar of thunder.

But Tang Sanzang felt an unprecedented sense of security in his heart.

Since leaving Chang'an City, he felt peace of mind that he had never had before, and he couldn't hold on any longer, and fell asleep slowly.

There was no words for a night, until a ray of white light penetrated into the cave.

Tang Sanzang slowly woke up.

He opened his eyes and glanced around.

The huge elephant-like tiger corpse was still there, but the figure of the monkey demon disappeared.

Tang Sanzang frowned slightly, thoughts surging in his heart.

"That monkey monster, isn't it the Monkey King that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva said?"

If the other party is not the Sun Wukong who will protect his safety as Guanyin Bodhisattva said, then why did the other party appear last night?
After thinking about it for a few breaths, he slowly shook his head, packed his things, and planned to leave.

When he reached the side of the tiger corpse, he stopped and recited a sutra toward the tiger corpse again.

"What a fool."

The sarcastic voice sounded in his ears again.

Tang Sanzang opened his eyes, turned around to look, and saw the thin figure reappeared at the entrance of the cave.

In his hand, he was holding some fresh fruits.

"Take it and eat it, then you can go on your way early."

Then before he could react, the other party threw the fruit towards him.

In a panic, he quickly picked up these fresh melons and fruits.

Tang Sanzang looked at the monkey demon resting with his hands folded and his eyes closed.

He didn't say anything more, but started to eat fresh melons and fruits.

"I dare to ask the donor, but is it Sun Wukong?"

After a few breaths, Tang Sanzang looked at the monkey demon and tried to ask aloud.

Although he had already made up his mind, he still asked again.

Because according to what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, he needs to go to Wuzhi Mountain by himself to release the suppressed monkey monster at the foot of the mountain.

But although he was already close to the five-finger-shaped mountain, he was still several miles away.

And he didn't make a move, and rescued the monkey monster that was suppressed under the mountain.

How did it appear in front of me?

All kinds of doubts lingered in Tang Sanzang's mind, making him unable to help but ask questions about the great demon in front of him.

“So what if it is, so what if it’s not, there’s so much nonsense.”

"Eat quickly, so you can go on your way."

The monkey demon looked at Tang Sanzang, a look of impatience appeared on his face, and then said coldly.

Tang Sanzang's face froze and his brows furrowed slightly.

This monkey demon is indeed as Guanyin Bodhisattva said, difficult to communicate with.

But he was not discouraged and continued to speak again.

"I heard that not far from here, there is a mountain called Wuzhi Mountain. At the foot of the mountain, a great demon with great supernatural powers is suppressed."

"Guanyin Bodhisattva said that I need to go to Wuzhishan to rescue the big demon from suppressing it."

"So, the poor monk wants to know whether the donor is the great demon named Sun Wukong."

"If not, the poor monk would like to thank the benefactor for his rescue last night, but we just need to say goodbye."

"The poor monk still needs to go to Wuzhishan to rescue the big demon."

Tang Sanzang spoke slowly and calmly, then ate the fruit and was about to leave.

"Yes, yes, I am Sun Wukong."

"Then Wuzhishan still wants to suppress me, well, if not"

The monkey suddenly sneered, admitted his identity, and was about to continue.

Then he seemed to think of something again, and fell silent without continuing to speak.

"Let's go, there's no need to go to Wuzhishan."

He glanced at Tang Sanzang, then turned and left.

And the moment he admitted his identity.

A golden light suddenly flashed across Tang Sanzang's eyes.

Then he regained his composure, as if nothing had happened, he smiled slightly and followed the monkey demon.

After the two people left, a pair of footprints embedded in the ground appeared on the ground in this cave.

It seems to have been formed by someone stepping on it with great force.

And the owner of these footprints.

But it was Tang Sanzang who had just left!
