Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 172
The significance of Journey to the West to Ao Lie is not only how much merit he can get from it, but more importantly, this is the first time he has shown his face under the eyes of the public after he converted to Buddhism, which is related to his future development in Buddhism.

In this way, at least in the early stage of learning Buddhist scriptures, he should be regarded as the one with the most firm belief among Xuanzang's disciples.

Therefore, when he heard the people in the posthouse talk about the strange incident of Xuanzang becoming a tiger spirit, and seeing the three senior brothers disappearing one by one, he revealed his real body in a state of anxiety, and went to rescue him as a maid.

This is the first time he has made a move since he joined the scripture learning team. You know, even if you count Yingshoujian and the rewards for meritorious deeds at Lingshan, he has only made four moves along the way.

It's just that, not to mention that his Dragon Ball has been taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if it hasn't been taken away, he is not the opponent of Kuimu Langxing Lord.

After being wounded and escaping back to the post house, he was looking forward to the stars and the moon, waiting for the two cheap seniors to come back to rescue them.

Fortunately, Zhu Ganglu didn't make him wait too long, and finally rushed back when the people were quiet and the moon was bright.

Ao Lie snorted, called the idiot over, and then explained the matter.

After Zhu Gangli heard this, he was unlucky and clamored to divide the luggage and break up.

Of course, this idiot is bright in his heart, and he said this just to tease the little white dragon who looks like a gourd all the way.

Ao Lie didn't dare not believe it, he was afraid that the scripture learning team would break up, so he hurriedly tried to persuade Zhu Ganglian, biting Zhu Ganglian's straight shirt, and gave Zhu Ganglian an idea: "Senior brother, don't say anything. If you want to disperse the fire, if you want to save Master, you just need to invite someone to come."

Zhu Ganglian naturally knew who Xiao Bailong was talking about.

When the monkey didn't leave, he felt that the monkey was stealing the limelight everywhere, and when it was his turn to carry the beam, he realized that it was a good thing that there was a tall person standing on top of him.

It's not that he hasn't thought about Xiao Bailong's proposal, it's just that he has to think carefully about how to ask for it, given his understanding of Nabi Mawen.

Seeing that he was silent, Ao Lie remembered Xuanzang whispering on the horse on the road to Baoxiang Kingdom, and with a thought, he told Zhu Gangli about it, "Second senior brother, master regretted it a long time ago, you After going to Huaguo Mountain, just say that Master misses him..."

After all the good words, Zhu Gangli finally nodded and walked towards the East China Sea on the clouds.

……

On Huaguo Mountain, the atmosphere is somewhat solemn and bleak!
After Ren Qinglian beheaded those monkey zombies, she deliberately burned the blood of the zombies in their bodies with blood flames, and then took the monkey corpses full of valleys into the dantian space and brought them back to Huaguo Mountain for burial.

With the assistance of the four monkeys Ma, Liu, Ben and Ba, things were quickly arranged.

When the monkey asked Taishang Laojun to strengthen the seal of Xuanyin Valley, when he returned to Huaguo Mountain, he saw a small piece of soil newly buried in the back mountain.

After all, it is not a human being, and there is no tombstone on it.But memory and sacrifice are common to all intelligent races.

There was nothing to say all night, and just after dawn the next day, the monkey with red and swollen eyes came to Ren Qinglian.

"Layman, my grandson wants to ask you something..."

"My brother, why bother to be polite, the Great Sage just speak up if you have anything to do."

Ren Qinglian smiled, and made a rough guess as to the monkey's purpose.

"I don't know if you still have Sanguang Shenshui, can you give some to my grandson, so that the mountain can be restored to life!" Monkeys seldom ask for help, especially for themselves!

"What do you think this is?" Ren Qinglian said, a water dragon appeared on her outstretched palm, and slowly condensed into a three-color water polo the size of a football.With a light hand, the water polo flew towards the monkey.

The monkey didn't know that this was the Sanguang Shenshui that Ren Qinglian condensed overnight, he was moved, put the water away, stepped forward and patted Ren Qinglian on the shoulder, and said nothing.

Ren Qinglian saw that he was a little depressed and still hadn't recovered from the miserable experience of the group of monkeys, and comforted him: "When the heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; when the heart is destroyed, all kinds of demons are destroyed. Let him pass the past, if my guess is right , we have to go back soon!"

Houzi knew that Ren Qinglian had always been relentless, so he nodded.He also remembered the promise the Bodhisattva had made with him, that after he successfully learned the scriptures, he would be able to prove the right fruit, and murmured: "If you cultivate the right fruit and become a Buddha, will you not have these troubles!"

Some time ago, Ren Qinglian also asked Zhen Yuanzi about a similar question, whether it would be too forgetful after beheading the corpse and sanctifying it. After thinking about it, she relayed Zhen Yuanzi's original words: , all need a price. Or be too forgetful, indifferent to everything;

The monkey was thoughtful, "Wouldn't it be a puppet without emotion?"

Ren Qinglian remembered Zhen Yuanzi's words, and said again: "Of course not, it's just that if you want to have flesh and blood, affection and love, you have to pay more..."

As the mountain wind blew, the monkey looked at the group of monkeys playing at the foot of the mountain, and murmured, "My old grandson would rather choose the latter!"

Ren Qinglian smiled, choice is important, but how many people will persevere in the face of depleted lifespan.

Asking about longevity, since ancient times, there are only a few people who can truly be immortal. The vast majority of people, in order to survive, will gradually forget their original intentions and give up the things they once cherished.

After the monkey left, Ren Qinglian continued to stay on the top of the mountain.The way of a warrior is even more difficult. Instead of saying that you must stick to yourself and stick to your heart, it is better to seize the time to improve your strength, make yourself stronger, and avoid falling into that kind of dilemma.

What's more, what he is now is still a treasure land of cultivation!

He was able to condense so much Sanguang Shenshui in just one night. In addition to Huaguo Mountain, which is the ancestral vein of Shizhou, where the aura is abundant, more importantly, the location he is at now has once bred the Lingming Stone Monkey, hidden secrets.

Thinking about it, he was standing up according to the posture he had figured out last night, in the posture of fetal breathing, running the Swallowing Heaven Art, and exhaling.

The next moment, he saw tiny whirlpools of spiritual energy appearing on the acupuncture points all over his body.And at the same time, the power of 360 five stars projected down on the places that were hard to distinguish with the naked eye, submerged into the acupuncture points all over his body.

Most of these acupoints and apertures Ren Qinglian has never specially cultivated, but when a warrior refines qi, the true air flow will subtly temper these acupoints along the way through the eight extraordinary meridians.Because of this, the power of the stars projected down did not cause too much impact on him. After the slight sting at the beginning, there was a slight tingling sensation.

This feeling reminded him of the experience of opening up the main orifice when he practiced the Dragon Elephant Prajna Kungfu. After a little thought, he realized that the acupoints of the human body have a mysterious connection with the stars in the sky. With the strength, his 360 five acupoints tended to open up into a sea of ​​qi space.

In other words, if it can be developed successfully, he will have another choice of storage place for his Martial Dao Gang Qi in the future.

It turned out that in order to let the Lingming stone monkey be born in advance, the Buddhist sect discussed with the Jade Emperor and arranged a small star formation above the mountain to attract the power of the ancient stars to illuminate the huge stone.

And the nine orifices and eight holes on the boulder that gave birth to the monkey are exactly the same as the Eight Trigrams and Nine Palaces Formation in Ren Qinglian's dantian. Last night, Ren Qinglian stimulated the vitality of the nearby heaven and earth to practice, but inadvertently made the big star formation work.

For the Heavenly Court, the power of the sun, the moon, and the stars is a strategic resource just like the flat peaches. After the monkey was born, the connection between the star array and the ancient stars was severed.But the power of Zhou Tian and stars left in the formation was forgotten by everyone.

Now, by chance, Ren Qinglian activates the star formation and replays the scene of giving birth to the monkey, but it allows him to see the possibility of opening up the five acupoints of 360.

It's a pity that the power of the stars left in the formation was originally not much, and some of it has slowly passed away in the past few hundred years, and in the end, Ren Qinglian failed to fulfill her wish.

Although it was a bit regretful, having these stars' power penetrated into his acupoints laid the foundation for his future cultivation.

While Ren Qinglian was concentrating on cultivating, the monkey also used the Sanguang Shenshui to rain down, which restored the Huaguo Mountain to its former vitality.

A few days later, Zhu Ganglian finally arrived at Huaguo Mountain.
