Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 134 Cihang Jingzhai
The west bank of the Liusha River is also a desert, but unlike Nanbuzhou, the sand here is as white as snow. From a distance, it looks like a white carpet stretching...

In the evening of that day, Xuanzang and his party finally walked out of the desert. With the light evening breeze blowing, everyone felt relaxed and relaxed.

"Having been on the road for several days, let's rest here tonight." With the help of the demon pill that Ren Qinglian gave, Xuanzang's spirit is not bad, but after days of trekking in the desert, his body is very tired.

Naturally, everyone had no objections, so the monkey carved out a clearing in the waist-deep weeds.

Sha Wujing helped Xuanzang off the horse, and tied the horse to an ancient tree nearby, where Zhu Gangli had found dry food from the pack and distributed it to everyone.

Xuanzang was very pleased to see this scene.

But when her eyes turned to Ren Qinglian, she frowned slightly.I can't help thinking to myself: after all, he is a son of a rich family, well-clothed and well-fed, tired and lazy!
Ren Qinglian didn't care about it, and played with a skinned rabbit alone, grilling it with a real fire, and took out some bottles and cans from time to time, and sprinkled it on it.

These bottles and cans are the condiments he bought from the family in Gaolaozhuang, and he put them in the Qiankun Ring. Along the way, among other things, he has honed his barbecue skills.

The pig over there smelled the tempting smell of rabbit meat, and swallowed a mouthful of saliva from time to time.

Ren Qinglian saw it, and said with a smile: "Would you like to try it?"

As soon as the words fell, Xuanzang aroused some reproachful eyes.

Ren Qinglian didn't care too much, and said with a smile: "Wine and meat pass through the intestines, and the Buddha sits in his heart." But in her heart, she was thinking that Sha Wujing was still eating people in Liusha River before, if it wasn't for Xuanzang who met this time, I'm afraid it would have happened again. Someone will be eaten raw by him.Now after the three monkeys switched to vegetarianism, it made him seem like a bad guy.

Xuanzang didn't think much about it, he sighed slightly as he read Ren Qinglian's words, this Layman Ren is quite rooted in Buddhism and wisdom, but the world of mortals is still alive, it seems that there is still a long way to go to convert the other party to my Buddha!

Ren Qinglian is actually not particular about food, but she is not willing to follow Xuanzang to be an ascetic monk. What's more, he seems to be training his barbecue skills without doing business, but in fact he is also improving his control over his true energy.

The most direct manifestation of this improvement in the control over zhenqi is that when he casts "Floating Light", the zhenqi he needs to consume is less than half of what he used to be.

Suddenly, in the silence, a soft zither sound poured into his ears like gurgling water.

At the same time, the three monkeys also heard the sound of the piano, and looked into the depths of the distant jungle.

The sound of the piano is like silk, telling the infinite emptiness, echoing in the treetops and forests with the gentle night wind.

"There is a sense of seeing through the mortal world in this piano sound. The Buddhism in Xiniu Hezhou is prosperous, and it really deserves its reputation!" Ren Qinglian couldn't help murmuring.

But the monkey said: "In this barren mountain, the owner of the piano sound is probably a monster!"

"Monster?" Xuanzang, who was still reciting Buddhist scriptures just now, suddenly woke up, "Wukong, is the monster here..."

After speaking, I saw Ren Qinglian looking at him with a suppressed smile.

Zhu Gangli shook his head secretly at the side, the Jin Chanzi's performance on the road had already disappointed him, so the scene in front of him was not surprising.

But Sha Wujing was a good and considerate apprentice, he stepped forward to comfort him and said: "Master, don't panic, with the senior brother and the second senior brother here, even if there are monsters coming, they can't hurt you!"

Ren Qinglian said with a smile: "It's the sound of a zither. The Great Sage said that the owner of that sound is a monster, but I think it's very likely to be a Salmonella monk who sees through the world."

The monkey raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Why don't we make a bet and go over and see whether it's human or demon!"

"What kind of bet?" Ren Qinglian became interested.

The monkey said with a smile: "If my old grandson wins, you can't show off barbecue in front of us in the future!"

Zhu Gangli followed suit and nodded. Although Sha Wujing didn't say anything, he could tell that he agreed with the monkey's bet.

It's no wonder that when they were demons before, they were unscrupulous, regardless of meat and vegetables, and they were at ease.Now that they convert to Buddhism, they have to be bound by those rules and regulations. These are nothing, after all, they are all monks who can eat grains, and they eat dry food just to show off in front of Xuanzang.

But Ren Qinglian didn't shy away from grilling meat in front of them, and the roast was quite delicious, which inevitably made them twitch their index fingers and arouse the gluttons in their bellies.

The so-called blindness is not seen, but the monkey's bet is justified.

Ren Qinglian nodded, at worst, stay away from them next time she barbecues by herself, "What if the Great Sage loses?"

Hou Zi frowned, Ren Qinglian was so confident that he became a little uncertain, and he said after a long time, "How about I owe you a favor?"

Ren Qinglian smiled, "Why does the Great Sage take it seriously?"

But the monkey shook his head, "Let's go and have a look!"

As he said that, he flew towards the direction where the piano sound came from.

Ren Qinglian followed closely behind, with a flash of light, like a stream of light, which disappeared in an instant.

The sound of the piano was getting closer and closer, and the two soon came to a towering strange rock.

It was a nun dressed all in black. Judging from the straight nose bridge and relief-like outline, this woman was probably an all-powerful beauty before she escaped into Buddhism.

She leaned on a piano table, waved her right hand, and her five fingers drew a clear arc in the air, and pressed down again, the melodious sound of the piano was transmitted into the deep space.

The monkey smiled wryly, and said via voice transmission: "Did the layman have already arrived at this scene!"

"It's just that I have some knowledge about the qin music. I guessed it. Don't worry about the previous bet. If I roast food in the future, I will find a place that you can't see..." Ren Qinglian also transmitted the sound into the secret, After talking about it, I couldn't help laughing.

It's just that the more he is like this, the more the monkey can't refuse to admit defeat. He shook his head and was about to leave when a high-pitched roar came from a distance.

The two looked at each other and stopped in their tracks.

The black-clothed nun among the strange rocks looked up to the west, and soon saw a white figure leaping towards the sky like lightning.

"Is this martial arts movement?" Monkey was taken aback, and could see that the white-clothed man's movement was even better than the "Floating Light and Gliding Shadow" he taught Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian was even more shocked.

Just when the two were slightly startled, the figure had already come to the black-clothed nun.

The nun in black snorted and said coldly, "What are you doing here?"

Under the light of the moon, one can vaguely see the jumping figure, which is an equally young and beautiful nun in white.

The nun in white clasped her fists and said, "By the order of the patriarch, please go back!"

The black-clothed nun snapped, "Shut up! The Patriarch is far away on Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, and has not appeared for nearly a thousand years. How dare you use the name of the Patriarch to lie to me."

The nun in white was startled, and immediately protested: "Master, she is about to..."

The nun in black said coldly: "Kneel down!"

The nun in white hesitated for a moment, and finally knelt down.

"The first commandment of our sect is to die if you don't respect your teacher. Do you think you can be arrogant if you learn the best skills of this sect?" the nun in black asked coldly.

"My nephew doesn't dare! It's because my teacher's lifespan is approaching, and I'm afraid I won't be able to fulfill the entrustment of my patriarch, so I ordered my nephew to come and invite you back!" The nun in white knelt on the ground and said stubbornly.

"In this way, I won the dispute between her and me in the end..." the black-clothed nun murmured, no sadness or joy could be seen on her face.

The nun in white kowtowed and said, "Master, her old man has arrived at Yumeng Mountain. I hope to see my aunt..."

"Okay, I see, you go first!" The black-clothed nun waved her hand.

The nun in white stood up, bowed and saluted again, but when she turned around, she suddenly looked towards Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian hid behind a boulder five feet away from the two of them, but she could still clearly see the eyes of the nun in white, shining like lightning.

Surprised, there was a breeze blowing around him, and the nun was already standing in front of him.

"Who are you?"

The monkey had already used an invisibility method, so the nun didn't notice the monkey's existence, but just yelled at Ren Qinglian coldly.

Ren Qinglian felt the martial arts power in this nun in white, which belonged to the peak of refining qi and transforming gods, and was a little surprised that she discovered herself so keenly and came to her like lightning.

The nun saw that this young man in blue clothes was very handsome with sword eyebrows and star eyes, but he stared at her nakedly, which made her feel unnatural.

With a cold snort, he took a step forward, and at the place where he shook his hands, nine small crystal flowers flashed from the sword light, and where the sword tip reached, it had cut through Ren Qinglian's clothes.

The sword light spilled out like water, and there was a emptiness of cold air above it.

Ren Qinglian frowned secretly, Xiniu Hezhou actually had such powerful warriors, and listening to her conversation with the black-clothed nun just now, it seemed to be a sect, and there were many powerful warriors among them.

Thinking about it, he looked towards the nun in black.

The white-clothed nun turned her sword, immediately sheathed her sword, and said contemptuously, "Hmph, so she's a mute!"

But soon, she caught a glimpse of Ren Qinglian's chest where the clothes were torn, and there was no trace of blood flowing out, so she couldn't help but let out an uh.

You know, as the leader of Cihang Jingzhai's younger generation, although she didn't use her full strength with this sword, the sword trembled, and the tip of the sword pierced the opponent's chest more than three inches deep, but the opponent made a sound She didn't say anything, so that she thought the other party was dumb.This time, she actually found that there was no trace of blood on Ren Qinglian's chest, which naturally made her startled suddenly, and her expression changed slightly.
