No taboos in the world

Chapter 518: Tang Monk’s doubts, Li Jing’s mischief

Hong Chen also forgot when he said such boastful words. He must have been quite drunk at that time.

"You mentioned two monsters, what do they look like?"

Sun Wukong scratched the back of his hand, scratched his face, and said, "One of the two monsters has a golden horn, and the other has a silver horn. They live in the Lotus Cave. They have been drawing shadows and figures for a long time. They want to capture monks, copy their names, and eat Tang Monk. My master has suffered a lot. I don't know how many monsters and demons want to eat his flesh along the way."

It turned out to be Jinjiao and Yinjiao. Hong Chen secretly laughed at the two boys. They spread the news early and let the people traveling west know that they were blocking the way ahead. So they could find a way to fight with them early to avoid making a scene.

However, this disaster was arranged by Laojun, so Hong Chen couldn't interfere.

"Of course I have treasures, but it's not convenient for me to lend them to you now."

Hearing this, Wukong became anxious: "What do you mean? Are you afraid that I won't return it to you?"

"Of course I wouldn't think so. It's just that I went to visit one of my junior sisters a few days ago, and saw that she seemed to be haunted by calamity, so I left all my treasures to her. As for the remaining treasures on me, they are of average quality. Even if I lend them to you, I'm afraid they won't be able to defeat those two monsters."

Sun Wukong suddenly scratched his ears and cheeks, unable to calm down.

Hong Chen smiled and said, "But speaking of treasures, I can point you to a place. If you can successfully borrow the treasure, those two monsters won't be a problem."

"Oh? Tell me now!"

Hong Chen raised his hand and pointed upwards: "Tushita Palace."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong's eyes narrowed, and then he looked ashamed: "Back then, I went to the Tushita Palace and stole a lot of elixirs, and was locked in the furnace by the old monarch for 49 days. We have a grudge against each other. Now I go to borrow treasures again. Will he agree?"

"Whether he agrees or not, you have to go and see him to know." After a pause, Hong Chen continued, "You may not know that the Ruyi Jingu Bang you 'borrowed' from the Dragon King of the East China Sea was made by Laojun himself. It was originally called Dinghai Shenzhen, and was used by Dayu of the human race to measure the water level when he was controlling floods. Laojun has such extraordinary ability to refine weapons, how could he be without treasures? Even if he takes out two of them at random, it will be enough for you to subdue the monsters."

"I see! Great! Great!"

Wukong was overjoyed. He bowed to Hong Chen, thanked him, then turned around and flew out of the Xuanling Imperial Palace.

Hong Chen was also filled with emotion. Wukong should have used his clever monkey brain to cheat the treasures of Golden Horn and Silver Horn from the Fine Ghost and Smart Bug, but now he changed his mindset and directly asked others to borrow the treasures.

Regardless of whether he has any deep thoughts about Journey to the West, just from this action, we can tell that he has at least figured out the method of "taking advantage of the situation" and no longer chooses to be reckless or face all difficulties alone.

This is also a kind of progress, isn't it?

After returning to Hongchen Palace, Hong Chen sat down cross-legged and turned over the remaining pages of the Taoist book in his sea of ​​consciousness. In an instant, a rich rhythm of Taoism filled the air.

The golden lotus in the pond outside the palace sensed the rhythm of Tao, and its body swayed slightly, revealing the ninth-grade lotus petals at the bottom that were beginning to take shape.

Lotus Cave.

Tang Seng was tied firmly to a stone pillar, his head tilted to one side and his face full of sorrow.

'Great Emperor, Great Emperor, you gave me three sword qi. I used one sword qi to kill a white-bone monster, and I still have two left. But I encountered so many monsters along the way, and I didn't even have a chance to use my sword qi. Alas, I am incompetent. I hope that the Great Emperor will not blame me when he knows this.'

He tried to make a sword-like gesture, but his hands had long been bound and he could not make such a movement. After trying for a moment, he sighed dejectedly.

next door.

Jinjiao looked at his hand and said, "This Tang Monk still refuses to give up."

Yinjiao was still frightened. "Hiss, Emperor Xuanling's sword energy is indeed very terrifying. Tang Seng is just a mortal. When I caught him just now, I saw his movements, which made me feel cold. Fortunately, I reacted quickly, otherwise I would have been seriously injured."

Jinjiao glared at him and said, "How dare you say that? If you really get hurt, I'm afraid you and I will become a joke in the three realms. If you bring shame upon my reputation, I will never forgive you!"

Yinjiao shrank his neck: "I didn't expect that the sword energy given to him by Emperor Xuanling would be so terrifying. He, a mortal, could actually withstand it."

"Emperor Xuanling is the only disciple of Goddess Nuwa, and his status is much higher than that of us boys. The three realms were shaken a few days ago, and he is the ruler of the underworld, with a position as high as that of the Emperor of Heaven. How can you underestimate him? In my opinion, the sword energy given to him by Emperor Xuanling has not weakened, but has become increasingly fierce and murderous because of his true spirit of Jin Chanzi."

"There is such a change?!" Yinjiao was shocked.

"Humph! The Golden Cicada is a ferocious beast that has roamed the world since the ancient times. Even if it has listened to Buddhist teachings for a few Yuanhui and reincarnated as a mortal, it is difficult to erase its nature!"

"If his true spirit awakens..."

"That won't happen. Lingshan won't sit idly by." Jinjiao stroked his chin and said, "Before we went down to the mortal world, the master reminded you and me that the swordsmanship of Emperor Xuanling should not be taken lightly. Now it seems that we were a little careless, but fortunately we didn't make any mistakes and nothing bad happened."

As he spoke, he suddenly smiled and said with an ambiguous meaning: "Now the sword energy of Emperor Xuanling in his body is getting stronger and stronger. If the people behind him are also disrespectful, they will suffer when the time comes."

Hearing this, Yinjiao's eyes lit up and he began to smile evilly.

After a while, Jinjiao calculated the time and said, "The Monkey King should be back soon. Let's go and talk to Tang Seng again so that we can 'remind' him."

Yinjiao was also very interested in doing bad things and nodded repeatedly.

The two men walked around the cave entrance and strode inside.

Hearing the footsteps, Tang Seng hurriedly turned his head to look, and saw Jinjiao and Yinjiao, his face turned panic-stricken.

Jinjiao: "Hehe, Tang Dynasty monk, your disciple with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth has been chased away by our brothers. Don't even think about escaping. While you have the last bit of time, you should recite some Buddhist scriptures to pray for your soul to be liberated in advance. We will eat you later and find a place to bury your bones." Tang Seng's face turned red, and Bajie and Sha Seng, who were also tied up behind him, started to make a fuss.

Sha Seng: "Monster! If you want to eat, eat me first, don't eat my master!"

Bajie: "Yes! If you want to eat, eat my fellow apprentice brother Sha first, but don't eat my master!"

Silver Horn waved his hand, and two rays of light sealed Sha Seng and Ba Jie's mouths, saying, "You two should shut up, especially you, a pig-head. You are sneaky and cowardly!" He turned around and ordered the little demon, "When you cook Tang Seng later, wash this pig as well, pluck its hair and roast it together!"

Bajie glared, twisted his body and whimpered in anxiety, but unfortunately no one paid any attention to him.

Yinjiao approached Tang Seng, who trembled slightly with fear.

He leaned down and stared at Tang Seng until sweat broke out on the tip of his nose. Then he leaned over and looked at Tang Seng's right hand, and said with a smile: "Monk, you are still lucky. Emperor Xuanling actually left you something to save your life."

Tang Seng was surprised: "How did you know?"

"Hey! With your mortal body, how could you hide it from me? It's a pity that you are a mortal, your reaction is too slow, and your movements are even slower. If you really release the sword energy, I will be dead! I will definitely eat your right hand first, so as to make up for the fact that you scared me just now."

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng deeply regretted his indecision.

next time!

Next time if there is a monster blocking my way, I will release my sword energy at the first instant!

I believe that Buddha will not blame me for this act of exorcising demons and monsters.

Seeing the change in his eyes, Yinjiao turned back with a smile and looked at Jinjiao. Both of them were satisfied.

Before leaving, Tang Seng suddenly spoke again.

"My two great kings, could you please tell me why you are so obsessed with eating my flesh?"

Jinjiao turned around and said with a smile, "You have fallen into the mortal world and your wisdom has not yet awakened. No wonder you ask this question. Well, I will be kind enough to tell you! You were originally Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha. Because you did not listen to the sutras attentively and despised Buddhism, you were punished to reincarnate in the lower world. You are also a good person who has practiced Buddhism for ten lifetimes. You have not lost any of your yang energy. If I eat you, I can prolong my life, which is equivalent to tens of thousands of years of hard practice!"

Ordinary monsters wouldn't dare to say such things, and powerful monsters wouldn't bother to say them, but Gold Horn and Silver Horn had nothing to worry about.

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng was greatly shocked and murmured, "It is so..."

Soon, he asked again: "Then...then how did you know this? You...and the monsters I encountered before, why do you all know about them?"

Jinjiao smiled, turned and left.

Unable to get an answer, Tang Seng leaned against the stone pillar, feeling a little disappointed.

Not long after, Sun Wukong returned from Heaven, bringing with him treasures he had borrowed from Laojun through much coaxing and persuasion, and subdued Golden Horn and Silver Horn. But just as he was about to take action, Laojun appeared and took the two boys away.

Wukong couldn't help but complain, saying that the old man didn't even think highly of a boy.

Setting out on the journey to the West again, Tang Seng became obviously much more cautious, especially his right hand, which was often left empty, as if ready to move at any time.

Many days later.

Outside the Xuanling Palace of the Heavenly Court, there was suddenly a ray of fire coming towards the distance. When it got closer, it was seen that it was Nezha, the great god of the Three Altars and Sea Assembly, with three heads and eight arms and full magical powers.

Behind him, a golden light was chasing him at an extremely fast speed, and the distance between him and Nezha was getting closer and closer.

"Rebellious son! Stop right there! Where are you going to escape to?!"

A loud shout came from the golden light.

Nezha turned his left head back and said viciously, "Bah! Li Jing! Didn't you say you wouldn't go looking for your bald master? How come you couldn't help but go to him to ask for treasures after just a few days? You would rather cry and kowtow to outsiders than ask for treasures to target me. I only regret that I didn't take the opportunity to kill you!"

His voice was very loud, rolling like thunder in the empty Nine-Layered Heaven. It was obvious that he wanted to expose this family shame directly to the ears of the immortals in Heaven.

In fact, many gods have already discovered this fighting and chasing father and son.

However, due to their face and to understand the reason of the matter, they chose not to show up immediately.

Now after hearing Nezha's accusations, it would be even more difficult for them to come out and mediate.

"You! You rebellious son! Are you really going to piss me off to death before you give up?!"

Li Jing was ashamed, annoyed, angry and embarrassed.

Immediately, he did not know what method he used, but the speed of the golden light suddenly increased again.

Seeing this, Nezha was horrified. One head looked behind him, and the other two heads stretched their necks towards the imperial palace and shouted loudly:

"Hong Xuanling! Save me!"
