Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 145 Li Shan's Mother
Along the way, Ren Qinglian was trying to open up the two acupoints of Hualongchi and Dengxiantai, but she couldn't find the right way, and couldn't implement it smoothly. She guessed that her Taoism must be a little worse, so she didn't stick to it. Consolidate the current realm with peace of mind, comprehend the mysteries of the world, and evolve the vicissitudes of the dantian.

Now seeing the collapse of clouds and the rise of strange peaks, he couldn't help but lift up the Nine Nether Mysterious Eyes and look at that family.

After Jiuyou Xuantong broke through again, he can see through all kinds of ghosts and magic at a glance.

Soon, he found the sky above that courtyard, surrounded by Qingyun, covered with auspicious mist, knowing that it must be the kalpa when the Four Saints tried their Zen mind, and immediately turned around and smiled: "Master, it's getting late, there are people ahead. It's in the manor house, just to stay overnight!"

After hearing this, the monkey raised his eyes, and soon saw the Qingyun Ruiqi floating in the sky of the manor house, and saw Ren Qinglian's expression was strange, knowing that there was another mystery, he smiled and said: "That's right, that's right, it really is." A nice family."

Hearing the words, Zhu Ganglian led the horse and walked forward a few steps, climbed up and looked into the distance, and soon saw the family indistinctly, looked at Ren Qinglian in a somewhat complicated manner and said: "Layman, your ability is making rapid progress, and you can't believe it. I saw that family before Brother Monkey."

As soon as he finished speaking, Sha Wujing came forward with his luggage, and said with a smile, "Layman Ren is hiding something!"

Xuanzang put his bridle on Xu Guan, and said: "The mind of the statues is born, the Buddha's mind sees the Buddha, and the demon's mind sees the demon... Well, it's getting late, let's go and have a look!"

After finishing speaking, he dismounted from the horse, followed the mountain path, passed a gatehouse, and came to the manor house with hanging lotus and elephant trunks, painted pillars and carved beams.

The monkey was the most anxious to leave, and when he saw the iron lock on the rich door, he was about to push the door and enter.

Xuanzang hurriedly stopped him, and laughed and scolded: "We are all monks, we should avoid suspicion, and don't trespass!"

After finishing speaking, he turned his gaze to Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian was helpless. The monkey called the door several times before, which frightened the host very much. Xuanzang preached a few times, but there was not much improvement. He also went to call the host a few times by himself. Although the attitude was much better, but However, he was not as popular as Ren Qinglian. As time passed, Xuanzang learned to behave. When encountering such a thing, the first thing he thought of was to let Ren Qinglian handle it.

But they don't know that money can turn ghosts, Ren Qinglian will give some silver taels to the head of the household without a trace every time, so that the owner's family will naturally be more polite and considerate when greeting them like walking monks.

However, the family in front of her didn't need Ren Qinglian to break the bank and lightly knock on the rich door. After a few times, she heard footsteps not far behind the door.

Ren Qinglian concentrated on sensing, but what she felt was nothingness, she couldn't help being horrified, thinking that the person who came was very likely to be the widow transformed by Li Shan's mother, secretly trying to figure out the real origin of the other party, this Li Shan's mother.

The monkeys and others were happy to be at leisure, unloading their burdens, tying their horses, or leaning against the base of the wall, or sitting on the stone drum in front of the door, or leaning against the foundation of the house.

Soon, the courtyard door opened, and a half-aged woman came out from the inside. Seeing Ren Qinglian, she asked softly, "Who are you? You keep knocking on the door, disturbing people's cleanliness. Don't you know the right and wrong in front of the widow's door?" many?!"

Ren Qinglian's expression was strange, she raised her eyes to peek, and saw this woman was wearing gold and silver, embroidered skirt and flower shoes, she was in her mid-mature, her charm was still there.As for trying to find out the other party's real body fairy posture, but found nothing.

He subconsciously looked at the monkey, wanting to know if the other party's piercing eyes could detect something, and which one was stronger or weaker than his own Nine Nether Mysterious Eyes.

But I don't know, although the pupil technique is broad and profound, it also depends on the target. Even a monkey's piercing eyes can't detect Li Shan's old mother's magic trick.

Even so, it does not prevent the monkey from guessing through the aura of the old woman that the widow in front of him is enlightened by a certain immortal Buddha, and he does not reveal the secret at the moment, with a smile on the corner of his mouth, looking at Xuanzang with great interest performance of others.

Ren Qinglian understood, pointing to Xuanzang who came forward and said with a smile: "We came from the Tang Dynasty in the East, and this is Master Xuanzang, who is ordered to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures!"

As he said that, Xuanzang had already stepped forward, and Heshi smiled and said, "Old Bodhisattva, don't be afraid. These are the apprentices of the poor monk. We, a group of five, passed by Baofang and saw that it was getting late. Tan Mansion, please borrow for one night."

"It's easy to say, easy to say!" This woman is a bold master, she has a strong ability to accept the appearance of the three monkeys, even if Xuanzang doesn't explain, she won't be afraid, and when she speaks, she invites everyone to enter the hall .

After the ceremony, everyone sat down and watched tea.

The woman yelled, and saw a girl in white clothes, with a radiant face like snow, walking out slowly from behind the screen. She came forward with a golden fruit plate and a white jade teacup, and began to serve tea for everyone.

When Ren Qinglian saw her, she frowned. She felt a familiar aura from this girl, but she couldn't think of where she met her before.

Taking a closer look, I saw that the girl was only thirteen or fourteen years old, half-destroyed in the cloud, and her wisdom was hard to describe.After trying to say a few words, the girl didn't see her daughter's shyness at all, she spoke with a very generous expression, and between her willow eyebrows, there was a pair of water-cut pupils, shining brightly.

The woman soon found out that Ren Qinglian was flirting with her maid, snorted, and told the girl to go down to arrange a meal.

Ren Qinglian smiled wryly, he is really not a lolicon, he just wanted to find out who this girl was, and it would give him a familiar feeling.

The woman ignored Ren Qinglian and continued to chat with Xuanzang.

"The little woman's maiden name is family, her husband's family name is Mo, she was unlucky when she was young, and her father-in-law died early..." Speaking of sadness, the woman couldn't help crying.

It was the first time for Zhu Gangli to see such a charming woman. It was like an ant was crawling around in his heart. Seeing this lovely and pitiful look again, his heart and liver would be melted, and he softly comforted her. A few times, it caused the woman to roll her eyes, secretly laughing non-stop.

Then, the woman mentioned that her family had a wealth of wealth and thousands of acres of fertile land. She felt that there was no one to guard the huge family business, and she wanted to recruit Xuanzang's master and apprentice as her husband.

Xuanzang originally planned to comfort the woman a few words, and even thought about doing a funeral service for the woman's deceased husband for free, but he didn't expect the woman to change the subject, and actually mentioned that they should inherit the family as master and apprentice. Business, get involved in it.

Even if it is deaf makeup and dumb, with eyes closed and peace of mind, silently does not answer.

Ren Qinglian couldn't help laughing secretly when she saw this, but she was a little bit bitter about the woman deliberately ignoring him. After all, in terms of appearance, although he couldn't guarantee that he would be more handsome than Xuanzang, at least he was more handsome than the three monkey brothers Let's do it!

Shaking his head, knowing that Li Shan's old mother didn't arrange a scene for him, he apologized and went outside to blow the evening breeze by himself.

Seeing Zhu Gangli, he pushed Xuanzang and said, "Master! If you are not interested in what this lady says, why don't you give the spot to Layman Ren!"

Ren Qinglian had just crossed the threshold when she heard the second senior brother's words, she almost sprained her foot, and said via voice transmission: "Second senior brother's kindness, Ren Mou is willing to accept it, but fate can't be forced, I wish the second senior brother a victory tonight!"

With that said, the man has arrived at the manor.

Although this courtyard was created temporarily, its layout is majestic, with mountains of longevity, blessings and seas, and golden lacquered jade pillars.

But Ren Qinglian made an excuse, obviously not to appreciate the beauty of this ancient garden.Stepping on the Tiangang, his figure is like electricity, following the breath left by the girl, he walked towards the backyard.

But after walking for a long time, Ren Qinglian discovered that the path of the courtyard was arranged according to a kind of maze formation. She was afraid of being tricked by a few Buddhist Bodhisattvas, so she didn't dare to go further, so she found a pavilion near the periphery. Sit down and plan to sit on the sidelines.

"Shangxian Qinglian is not sitting in the room, why did he run here alone!" Soon, a voice sounded from behind Ren Qinglian.

This voice... Ren Qinglian turned around and saw the smiling girl leaning on the pavilion.

"Are you Bai Suzhen?" The only people who could call him that were the few monsters he met in Liangjie Mountain, and the only one who was a banshee was the white snake.

"Hee hee." The girl smiled, turned around, and returned to her previous appearance in Liangjie Mountain.

"Congratulations, Miss, for being a famous teacher. In such a short period of time, she has learned a brilliant art of transformation." Ren Qinglian laughed.

"Do you know who my master is?" Bai Suzhen listened with curiosity.

Ren Qinglian smiled mysteriously: "Isn't that Mrs. Mo in the room?"

"It turns out that the Shangxian doesn't know the identity of the master." Bai Suzhen patted her chest, and let out a long sigh of relief. When she came, the master had already told her that the transformation technique of their lineage is the legendary golden eye It is also difficult to see through!
But Ren Qinglian suddenly said: "It's Li Shan's old mother!"

Bai Suzhen opened her mouth in surprise, and it took a long time to come back to her senses: "Shangxian actually saw through Master's transformation technique?!"

Ren Qinglian didn't deny it, instead she said with a strange expression: "If my guess is correct, this is the place where several Buddhist Bodhisattvas used to test Xuanzang's masters and apprentices, but Li Shan's old mother is a master of Taoism, I don't know Why did you come to help preside over the overall situation?"

Bai Suzhen was shocked again, but thinking that Ren Qinglian could see through Master's transformation technique, it would not be a problem to see through the transformation technique of those bodhisattvas. The bodhisattvas and my master have a friendship from the same school, and they often discuss scriptures and Taoism with each other... Besides, don’t you think the strategies of the bodhisattvas are very interesting, hehe!"

Saying that, Bai Suzhen couldn't help laughing.

Thinking of the scene in the original book where Zhu Gangyan was teased by several Bodhisattvas, Ren Qinglian couldn't help but smile.

However, Ren Qinglian also has some clues about the identity of Li Shan's old mother.

The so-called fellowship naturally does not refer to Buddhism, it should be Taoism.During the honeymoon period of the three religions of Taoism, the disciples of the sects all called each other brothers and sisters according to the entry sequence, and judging from the changes in the identities of the four sages trying Zen, the seniority of the old mother of Lishan is obviously higher than that of the three Cihangs. There are only a handful of Taoist disciples who are taller than the Golden Immortals and meet this status.

Combined with some conjectures that Ren Qinglian saw in her previous life, it is not difficult to imagine that this old mother of Li Shan is the Wudang Holy Mother, a disciple of Jiejiao who survived the Conferred God!
In fact, when the Holy Mother of Wudang withdrew from the Ten Thousand Immortals Formation in advance under the instruction of the Tongtian Sect Master, it can be regarded as keeping a share of incense for the Jiejiao.For a long time thereafter, this Holy Mother of Wudang was the most influential Taoist master in Nanfangbuzhou.

Her good corpse, the Holy Mother of Lishan, founded the Luojiao in Lishan, which combines the essence of Buddhism and Taoism, and has always had a great influence among the human race.For example, Zhong Wuyan, the wife of King Xuan of Qi, was a disciple of Old Mother Li Shan, and Bai Suzhen, Fan Lihua, and Liu Jinding, who were extremely famous and legendary women in history, were also disciples of Old Mother Li Shan.
