Soul Ferry: My master is Uncle Jiu

Chapter 379 Seed
This sound was like thunder, full of energy.

It spread out from the cave and reached the sky.

Above the clouds, the Four Directions Gong Cao, the Six Dings and Six Jias, and the Eighteen Guardians of the Religion looked at Taibai Jinxing with strange expressions and asked cautiously, "Star Lord, do you think we should save him or not?"

Taibai Jinxing felt his head swell up, and finally his old face turned grim, "Save! Why not save him?"

It's not shameful to earn merit.

What's more, if he doesn't cooperate, when will these 81 difficulties end?

He was not worried about Buddhism, but about the merit he deserved.

If this disaster fails and a new disaster is arranged, then wouldn't it be very likely that his share will be divided up?
Besides, it's all acting, it's just a little exaggerated.

Immediately, Taibai Jinxing removed his cover, revealing his true form from the clouds, his immortal aura fully exposed.

Within the cave.

Tang Sanzang was confused after being suddenly thrown into a water tank and taking a cold bath.

No, what is this for?
Looking at the three monsters again, and seeing the Taoist priest shouting with his hands in the shape of a trumpet to his mouth, a chill rose from his heels to the top of his head.

The three monsters knelt down on the spot, kowtowed and begged for mercy, "Grandpa Taoist, spare our lives!"

"We have done everything you asked!"

"You have done everything I said, but I am still not satisfied." After sensing the breath of Taibai Jinxing, An Yan put his hands on the sides and leaned his back against the water tank and said.

"What?"

"Because you are so ugly, you scare me."

As soon as these careless words were spoken, the three monsters' faces turned green.

Facts have proven that if anyone deliberately wants to find fault with you, it is wrong for you to lift your left foot first when you go out.

"You're crazy!"

"I won't play anymore!"

"The wind is so tight!"

The three monsters expressed their unwillingness to play anymore and swore, but they did not dare to fight the Taoist priest desperately, so they had to stir up evil winds and rush out of the cave.

They finally realized that this stinky Taoist priest had no intention of letting them go.

The fastest runner is General Yin. Clouds follow the dragon, wind follows the tiger. His original form is the king of the forest, a tiger. His speed is much faster than that of the big stupid bear and the big stupid cow.

At times like this, whoever runs slowly will be in trouble.

Te Chushi, who was born as a working ox, is a bull spirit. His speed is comparable to that of Xiong Shanjun, but his brain works a little faster than Xiong Shanjun. Based on the principle of "a friend's death is better than my own", he did not hesitate to transform his lower body into his original form and gave Xiong Shanjun a powerful kick from behind.

Xiong Shanjun was kicked in the face unexpectedly, and fell back with a cry, turning into a rolling gourd.

"Good brother, I cannot thank you enough for your kindness. I will go to your grave to eat grass and weed on this day next year."

"…The beautiful words of greeting to family and ancestors omitted…"

Xiong Shanjun quickly got up and ran while cursing, and his curses were very unpleasant.

The entrance to the cave was just ahead. Xiong Shanjun jumped out and felt dizzy. He wondered why the world was upside down.

Plop!
When his soul came out, he found that his head and body were separated.

At the entrance of the cave, General Yin and Mr. Te, who had come out before him, also revealed their true forms, with their heads and bodies separated, and their spirits and bodies similar to his.

Before Xiong Shanjun could think more, a sharp breath came from the sky.

"The man-eating demon should be killed."

The Gengjin sword energy emitting a brutal murderous aura fell from the sky.

The three demons looked up, only to feel the blinding golden light. Then their vision went dark and their souls flew away.

The immortal gods and guardians in the clouds, who rarely saw Taibai Jinxing take action, were so shocked that they were numb today.

Taibai Jinxing, who looked like a good old man, made a stunning move with his first move. With just a flick of his whisk, the Gengjin sword energy swept across the sky, sweeping away all the monsters.

Taibai Jinxing walked past the three demon corpses and entered the cave. Every demon he met was destroyed with just a glance.

These are all demons that eat people and kill people. They don't deserve to die.

In the cave, An Yan jumped out of the water tank and fished out Tang Sanzang who had just taken a bath. He laughed and said, "Master Sanzang, is this hot bath comfortable?"

Tang Sanzang, dripping with water, smiled bitterly, "I don't feel comfortable at all, but I am a little frightened. Taoist An, why are you doing this?"

"I'll tell you later. Now come with me to welcome an old immortal." An Yan shook his head and smiled. He looked at the four pitiful people in the prison, raised his hand and waved, saying to them, "It's okay. Come out. Go check the luggage."

The iron chain fell with a sound.

The four rescued people nodded repeatedly, did not dare to hesitate, and ran to retrieve their luggage.

Looking at An Yan walking out, Tang Sanzang was stunned and followed him. He was very curious about the old immortal that An Yan mentioned.

Soon, a kind old man wearing a white robe embroidered with gold and holding a whisk appeared in front of Tang Sanzang.

Before he could speak, the old man chanted: "I am Taibai Jinxing from the sky, and I have come to rescue you. You will have the help of the gods on your way forward, so do not complain about the difficulties, Master."

Rescue? God's help? Complaints?

Tang Sanzang was a little confused. He looked at An Yan who was trying to hold back his laughter, and then looked at the old immortal in front of him who called himself Taibai Jinxing.

His expression was a little strange as he bowed and said, "Thank you, Venus. Although the journey was difficult, it was safe."

Hearing this, Taibai Jinxing, whose old face was a little hot, glared at An Yan who was laughing at the side, and said with a laugh: "Master, you are blessed by Amaterasu. Then I wish you to obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible."

"Old Immortal, what about me? What about me?" An Yan jumped out restlessly and pointed at himself.

Taibai Jinxing rolled his eyes and said, “I almost want to hit someone, give it back to me.”

But due to An Yan's current status, he still said against his will: "The Taoist priest is not afraid of the hardship of the journey to the west and has spread the reputation of our Taoism. He is indeed the future star of our Taoism."

"Oh, you figured this out." An Yan sighed and raised his head slightly.

Taibai Jinxing's face turned dark, what a shameless guy.

Did he doubt that An Yan would be a match for those Buddhist monks? Now it seems that he is more than capable of defeating them.

At the same time, he felt a little gloating in his heart, wondering where Taishang Laojun had found the best stuff, and that Buddhism had met its match this time.

"The journey west to Lingshan is long, so I won't delay you two."

After completing the task, Taibai Jinxing ran away in a flash to avoid getting angry.

Why does it sound weird that it doesn't delay my journey?

An Yan shook his head and said, "Master Sanzang, let's get going."

Just at this moment, four followers carried out the horses and luggage.

The group headed west again.

When they reached a wide road, Tang Sanzang rode forward and walked side by side with An Yan.

An Yan glanced at Tang Sanzang, who was hesitant to speak, and realized that he came here because of what happened just now. He glanced at Gongcao Jialan who was hiding in the clouds in the sky, and flicked the whisk in his hand seemingly inadvertently, and the invisible and intangible time around the two of them rippled slightly. During this period of time, his understanding of the law of time has exceeded 1%, and he can initially interfere with the flow of time.

The subtle fluctuations are difficult to detect even for a Golden Immortal, let alone the celestial beings in the sky.

After finishing everything, An Yan asked bluntly: "Master Sanzang, just tell me what you have to say. I see you have been holding it in for a long time."

"Master An, have you figured it all out?" Tang Sanzang, who was still hesitating, paused, then showed an embarrassed look.

An Yan shook his head. "Your worries are written all over your face. I still have some insight."

During the conversation, in the eyes of the four followers and the immortal gods and guardians in the sky, the two men were just concentrating on their journey.

This is because An Yan captured the scene of the two people hurrying on their way, and used the power of time to cover the two people, as if the surveillance footage was fixed at a certain moment.

To others, what they think they are seeing is something happening at the moment, but in fact it is a scene from the past.

"You don't understand?"

"I don't understand!"

"It's very simple. Didn't Guanyin Bodhisattva tell you? The journey to obtain the scriptures requires going through eighty-one difficulties. If I don't do this, these eighty-one difficulties will not be completed, and you will never be able to obtain the Mahayana Sutra." An Yan said directly.

The reason why he cooperated was for the merits of the Journey to the West.

Every time he goes through a hardship, he can gain corresponding merit.

At the same time, while he was enjoying the benefits of Buddhism, he was using his own connections to do his own things.

If this move succeeds, Buddhism can be said to have hurt the enemy 800 times and suffered 1,000 losses of its own.

On the other hand, An Yan's words made Tang Sanzang fall into confusion, and he said in confusion: "So this is what Guanyin Bodhisattva meant? But in this way..."

He deliberately said that this is not formalism? What is the purpose of this?
Simply to let him know how difficult it is to obtain the scriptures, and to show piety step by step?

Seeing Tang Sanzang's confused mind, An Yan said: "Since you have doubts, why don't you wait until you reach the Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven and ask the Buddha for an answer?"

"Amitabha! I am obsessed with appearances." Tang Sanzang showed a hint of enlightenment.

Once the arrow is shot, there is no turning back. If you have many confusions, why not wait until Mount Lingshan to ask the Buddha and ask him to solve your doubts?

A seed has been inadvertently planted in Tang Sanzang's heart. As to whether it will grow into a Bodhi tree, it depends on the nutrients he receives along the journey to the West.

There is a saying that goes, "Read ten thousand books and travel ten thousand miles."

Unity of knowledge and action!

Only in this way can you know whether what you insist on is right or wrong.

This was true for Tang Sanzang and An Yan himself.

Looking at the rejuvenated Tang Sanzang, An Yan smiled slightly and withdrew the power of time that permeated the surroundings.

After walking for another half a day, it was almost dusk and they arrived at a ridge.

The stream flows through, unknown wild flowers bloom tenaciously in the late autumn season, there are rocks everywhere, and the sounds of monkeys and deer echo in the air.

But as he walked, the sounds of monkeys and deer disappeared, the chirping of birds in the woods also came to an abrupt halt, and the horse under him became restless.

An attendant with experience as a hunter stepped forward and said, "Master, there may be a big insect in this mountain. We should not stay here for long."

"There's a big beast? Master An, what should we do?" Seeing that it was getting dark, Tang Sanzang was at a loss and could only place his hope on An Yan.

Judging from the nonchalant manner in which An Yan dealt with the group of monsters during the day, it should be easy for him to deal with a big beast.

Different from the white horse under Tang Sanzang's crotch, An Yan's horse seems very calm. Isn't it clear who is the master?

An Yan did not let Tang Sanzang down, and waved his hand, saying, "Go ahead with peace of mind. Nothing will go wrong with me here."

Just as he finished speaking, a strange wind blew up from the dense forest ahead, and two ferocious tigers jumped out, roaring in the forest.

An Yan raised his eyebrows, thinking that there was really someone so blind, he grinned.

Under the watchful eyes of two tigers, An Yan jumped off the horse. Feeling that his father had gotten off the horse, he immediately became restless.

"Don't be afraid, it's okay."

An Yan smiled, patted the horse's head, and strode forward.

That momentum is more like that of a tiger.

Seeing that the food in front of them dared to come forward, the provoked tigers immediately pounced on it from the left and right, roaring and opening their bloody mouths.

Although he knew An Yan's strength, Tang Sanzang still felt nervous when he saw An Yan actually raised his arms and let the tiger bite him.

"You beast! Don't hurt anyone!"

Suddenly, there was a loud shout and a man jumped out.

The man was holding a steel fork, with a bow and arrow hanging from his waist. He was wearing a leopard skin hat and a cashmere robe. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes and did not look like an ordinary person.

However, this shout did not stop the two tigers. Instead, it aroused their ferocity and they bit down hard on the arm.

"Not good! Warrior, get out of the way!"

Seeing that instead of rescuing the tiger, Liu Bochin was shocked and rushed forward with the steel fork in his hand, trying to save the man from the tiger's mouth.

But it was too late, the two tigers had already taken action.

It wouldn’t matter if the tigers didn’t bite, but once they did, the two tigers were in great trouble.

Crisp shattering sounds were heard, and the two tigers retreated as if they had been electrocuted. Their teeth, which were originally as sharp as daggers, were all broken at this moment, and the two tigers rolled over in pain.

The sudden change made Liu Bochin drop his jaw in shock. He was confident that he had some martial arts skills, but he couldn't break the teeth of two tigers with just his pair of iron arms.

On the other hand, the Taoist's clothes were not even torn.

The Taoist shook his head and sighed, "It's no use biting you."

Coupled with the fact that the two tigers were wailing like domestic cats, Liu Bochin felt a little bit sorry for them.

So he decisively stepped forward and used two forks to send them off to avoid pain.

Two tigers: We thank you! Living King of Hell!

After sending the two tigers off, Liu Bochin turned around, clasped his fists and said to the Taoist priest with a hint of respect: "I am Liu Bochin, nicknamed the Guardian of the Mountain. May I know your name?"

Is this person Liu Bochin?
An Yan looked him up and down, bowed, and said with a smile: "You can just call me An Yan. I am a Taoist priest who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East to teach Taoism."

"This is Master Sanzang, a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East to seek Buddhist scriptures in the West."

"It turns out that you are a master from the Tang Dynasty in the East!" Liu Bochin was overjoyed when he heard it, and warmly invited the two to visit his humble home.

Hearing this, An Yan nodded and said, "Then I'd better obey your command."

Seeing that An Yan had no objection, Tang Sanzang naturally did not want to sleep in the open if possible.

"Wait a moment, you two."

Liu Bochin carried the two big tigers and led An Yan and his group happily back home.
