No taboos in the world

Chapter 510: A Vow-Fulfilling Girl Suddenly Meets a Mountain Wilderness, Sanzang Kills the White Bone Demon with His Sword
Tang Sanzang didn't get an answer, but he was not disappointed.

Because he wanted to know more, if a demon appeared again, would it be possible that the demon also wanted to become immortal by eating him?

and so……

"My disciples, if there is another monster ahead, if you can capture it, remember to let me ask him a question."

Sun Wukong readily agreed: "No problem, it's just a small matter!"

The four masters and apprentices hurried on their way, and soon they crossed the main road and entered a small path. The winding mountain road was covered with thorns and branches, and there were many wild beasts in the mountains, and tigers and wolves were howling in groups, which scared Tang Sanzang so much that he turned pale.

Wukong raised the golden cudgel, which quickly grew longer. With a flick of his hand, thorns were broken, trees fell, and the wolves, tigers and leopards were frightened and fled in all directions.

When they reached the mountainside, Tang Sanzang dismounted to rest, while Wukong jumped onto a cloud and went out to beg for alms.

While we were resting, we suddenly saw a pretty woman with delicate features, wearing a coarse blue skirt, carrying a bamboo basket in her left hand and a sand pot in her right hand, walking towards us from the back of the path.

Tang Seng was sitting on a rock wiping his sweat. He took a quick glance and saw a figure. He couldn't help but say, "Bajie, Sha Seng, Wukong said there was no one here in the wilderness. Look, isn't there someone coming?"

Bajie suggested going to check it out.

Not long after, he came back in a hurry with a big belly, and said happily: "Master, I don't know where the monkey has been for so long and it hasn't come back. But the female Bodhisattva came with food and said she wanted to fulfill her vow to feed the monks."

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he didn't believe it, because he hadn't seen any human beings along the way.

But the woman had already arrived.

After several exchanges of words, Tang Sanzang, who was already easily persuaded, and with Bajie's persuasion beside him, he couldn't help but believe it a little.

But Sanzang was concerned about the woman's identity and family, and still didn't want to eat her food. But Bajie couldn't help but want to eat it, and Sha Seng couldn't stop him.

At this time, Wukong somersaulted down from the cloud and blocked Tang Seng's way.

"Master, be careful. Don't think this woman is a good person. We haven't seen anyone on the way up the mountain. Now someone suddenly shows up, and it's a woman. Isn't that strange?"

Tang Sanzang instinctively didn't believe it and immediately shook his head and scolded him.

But suddenly, he thought of his earlier doubts, looked down at his wrist, pulled Wukong's furry arm, and whispered, "Wukong, are you sure she is a monster?"

"Hehe, my eyes are naturally able to see through illusions. Although they were once damaged in Laojun Bagua Furnace, my good brother Hong Xuanling made a fortune elixir and restored my eyes. They are even more magical than before! Master, if you don't believe me, then why don't you believe your good uncle? Have you forgotten his hospitality to you on Xuanling Mountain?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Sanzang's wavering mind immediately tilted towards Wukong.

At this time, Bajie, who was eavesdropping with his neck stretched out and ears stretched, said dissatisfiedly: "Master, I think the monkey has bad intentions. This female Bodhisattva worked hard to go up the mountain with a delicious vegetarian meal in her hand, but she deliberately didn't let you eat it well, just waiting to see you eat the sour wild peach!"

Wukong suddenly turned around and bared his teeth, frightening Bajie so much that he stepped back and shouted, "Master, look at him, he's bullying me again!"

Tang Sanzang was not able to hear what he said at this moment. He just looked at the woman carrying the basket and the pot silently, his eyes full of inquiry.

The woman's face was covered with sweat, her smile was as beautiful as a flower, her eyes were like a bay of autumn water, and she looked back sincerely.

Tang Sanzang was unsure again.

Seeing this, the woman took a step forward to explain.

Wukong waved his hand, and the top of the golden cudgel suddenly stretched out and hit the woman's chest, sending her flying into the air and hitting the huge rock behind her. She died after hitting the ground. The food in her hand fell to the ground and immediately turned into frogs, toads and insects crawling all over the ground.

Tang Sanzang's eyes widened in shock, and his already fair skin looked even paler.

"Master, look, is what I said wrong?"

Bajie: "I think you killed him, and you were afraid that Master would recite the Tightening Curse, so you deliberately used a trick to deceive me!"

"Hey!" Wukong turned back angrily, "You idiot, you can't tell the real monster from the fake one, why do you keep instigating it?"

Bajie took a step back and said, "I was telling the truth. I thought that woman was a kind-hearted girl, but it's a pity that she was beaten to death by you!"

"you!"

Bajie jumped and hid behind Tang Sanzang.

Wukong gritted his teeth in anger.

Tang Sanzang felt a little nauseous when he saw the toads and insects all over the ground, but the woman's corpse made him feel compassionate.

"Wukong, you said she was a monster, why didn't her body change?"

Bajie quickly said, "That's right, she is clearly a person."

Wukong raised his golden cudgel and said, "Master, if an ordinary person were hit by my cudgel, his head would be cracked and his hands would be broken. But just now, I stabbed her in the heart with my cudgel, but this woman has no injuries. How can she be a human being?"

"This……"

Tang Sanzang was hesitant, while Bajie and Wukong were arguing.

After a moment, he said, "Okay, don't argue anymore. I will chant sutras in front of the Buddha tonight. No matter whether she is a human or a demon, I will save her soul. When we reach the West, I will ask the Bodhisattva or Buddha for help."

The quarrel ended here, and Wukong presented wild peaches to the group, who shared them and then set off again.

After walking for a while, I suddenly heard an old woman in her eighties in front of me, walking with a cane and crying.

Bajie was shocked: "Master, this is bad, I'm afraid that the girl's family is here to find us!"

Wukong retorted: "Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense. The woman is eighteen and the old man is eighty. Could it be that a sixty-year-old clam gave birth to a pearl?" As he spoke, his eyes flashed with golden light, and the old woman immediately showed her true form in his eyes. He laughed and said, "Master, this is still a monster. I think she didn't kill it just now, so she changed her appearance and came here again."

Tang Sanzang was stunned, holding the reins tightly with one hand and raising the other hand slightly.

"Wukong, are you sure it's a monster?"

"That's right, Master. If she is not a monster, I will dig out her eyes!" Sun Wukong was extremely confident in his eyes. Tang Sanzang raised his head, suddenly raised his sword finger, and whispered: "Uncle Master, if the woman in front of me is really a monster, please use your sword to kill this evil monster who is teasing people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw that one of Sanzang's arms was suddenly covered by a dazzling white light.

In an instant, the crying of the old woman opposite stopped abruptly. A look of deep fear rose on her old face. She threw away the cane in her hand, turned her head and turned into a black mist rising up.

Tang Sanzang’s heart trembled when he saw this: What Wukong said was true, it was indeed a monster!
In an instant, a crescent-shaped, blazing white sword energy was released from Tang Sanzang's hand.

The sword energy seemed to break through space and came directly to the black fog, cutting it down before it could rise!
As the sword energy came into contact with the black fog, it suddenly made a sizzling sound and quickly disappeared. In the blink of an eye, a skeleton cut into two halves fell on the green grass.

In an instant, except for Wukong who knew the origin of the sword energy, Bajie, Sha Seng and even Tang Sanzang himself were all shocked and stunned.

Wukong chuckled twice, walked forward and picked up the two halves of the bones.

"Master, this is a white bone demon, which has the ability to transform. I think it has killed many people with this magic, and only then has it refined its bones like white jade. You killed the demon today, which is revenge for those people and also stopped her from harming people in the future. Your merit is immeasurable."

Tang Sanzang gradually came back to his senses and looked at his sword fingers in disbelief. He couldn't believe that the three sword energies that his uncle-master had casually bestowed upon him could have such powerful power.

"Master, what kind of sword technique is this? It's so powerful?" Bajie couldn't help but ask.

Sha Seng lowered his head slightly as he carried the luggage, but he also listened attentively.

However, before Tang Sanzang could speak, Wukong said, "Hey, Master, how could I know any sword techniques? This is just a life-saving method specially given to him by a senior master whom he met on the journey to the West."

Tang Sanzang nodded.

Bajie was surprised: "Who has this sword energy that makes me, an old pig, feel so familiar with it?"

"Guess?" Wukong laughed.

Bajie frowned and thought hard, his eyes gradually brightened, and finally he clapped his hands suddenly: "I remember! It's Emperor Xuanling!"

"Hey, your pig brain is quite useful!"

"Go away, go away. I was once the Marshal of the Heavenly River Navy. How could I not know the Great Emperor Xuanling?" After a pause, Bajie smiled and said, "So, when you raised the flag of rebellion, you were defeated by the Great Emperor Xuanling in a battle and taken back to the Heavenly Palace for punishment, right?"

"Yes, Brother Sun is indeed a skilled martial artist with profound cultivation. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't have had so many adventures and breakthroughs so quickly."

Bajie felt a little jealous. Thinking of his own experience, he sighed inwardly and said no more.

Sha Seng walked with his head lowered, and his eyes showed reverence for the Emperor of Heaven.

"Wukong, if there is another monster, help me capture him. My questions are still unanswered."

Wukong smiled and said, "Capturing the monster is a piece of cake. I'm just afraid that Master will listen to that pig-head's slander and won't believe me, Sun."

Bajie led the horse and walked straight ahead, pretending not to hear.

Tang Sanzang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Wukong, I trust you."

"That's good, Master, just wait and see!"

The four masters and apprentices continued on their journey, their shadows stretched out in the sunset.

Red Dust Palace.

Tang Sanzang triggered one of the three sword energies, and Hong Chen felt something.

One look down into the world below will make things clear.

As the saying goes, "When a sharp weapon is in hand, murderous intent arises naturally." Tang Sanzang is a high-level monk who can keep his mind calm and control his nature, but he is also obsessed with obtaining Buddhist scriptures in the West. If there are demons and monsters blocking the way ahead, he will not be pedantic in order to save his life or clear the path.

Otherwise, why would he shout "disciple, save me" after being captured by the monster? At the same time, he also tacitly approved of his disciples' actions to eliminate the monster after the disaster.

Killing demons and eliminating evil does not violate Buddhist precepts, but is instead a benevolent and righteous act worthy of promotion.

To convert demons, one must also consider the timing and method.

However, he used a sword energy to kill the White Bone Demon, but he also solved another problem.

Thinking of this, a golden lotus broke through the air and Hong Chen reached out to catch it. The golden lotus turned into light and poured into his body. It was the message from the Bodhisattva.

After reading this news, Hong Chen shook his head helplessly.

The main cause of this difficulty is not the White Bone Demon, but the distrust between Tang Seng and Wukong.

According to the script of Guanyin Bodhisattva, the two of them will part ways because of the matter of the White Bone Demon. This is the core of the catastrophe, and this catastrophe will also affect several other subsequent catastrophes.

Now that the catastrophe has been averted by Hong Chen, Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally comes to him and asks him to come up with a question and solve the subsequent troubles.

However, this time, there will be no merit to be gained after setting the question, because the merit will be given to the person who originally designed this level.

It can be seen that the merits of the eighty-one difficulties have been finally distributed.

Up to now, he has accumulated five tribulations during his journey to the West. There are a total of four tribulations that can bring him merits. Together with the merits he snatched from Guanyin when he changed horses in the steep stream, it makes a total of five tribulations. The merits will have to wait until the end of the journey to the West for the settlement and distribution by the Heavenly Dao.

However, right now we have to resolve the additional impact of this matter on subsequent disasters.

Now is far from the time to turn against Buddhism.

As soon as he thought of it, a picture fell from the heaven and landed in Baoxiang Kingdom.

Immediately, Hong Chen continued to close his eyes and comprehend the sword art.
