Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 288
The more dangerous the old man said about Qijue Mountain, the more the monkey disdained it. Seeing Xuanzang's astonished face, he couldn't help but stepped forward and shouted: "You old man is so unreasonable! You just say so many things to bluff people! If you don’t want to stay overnight, I’ll just say yes, and we’ll just squat under this tree for a while, and the night will be over, why bother to keep chattering like this?”

The old man is not afraid of this monk with a rough face and a thunderous mouth, pointing at him with a quinoa stick: "You bastard, with a flat nose and sunken cheeks, you don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth, what are you doing to bump into my old man!"

"Wukong is so rude!" Xuanzang followed suit.

Then the monkey apologized and said with a smile: "Master, don't blame it, it's because this old official has blind eyes and doesn't know how powerful my grandson is!" There is a treasure of beautiful jade.' If you judge people by their appearance, it is very wrong. Although my old grandson is ugly, he has some tricks."

Ren Qinglian's heart moved, the monkey is going to report himself.

But what puzzled him was that the original book mentioned that when the ancestor Bodhi expelled the monkeys, he once said: "I'll know if you speak half a word, and I will peel your hozen's skin and rasp your bones, and demote your soul to the world!" The Nine Nether Places will teach you that you will not turn over in ten thousand kalpas!"

But now, why is this monkey talking outrageously again?

Ren Qinglian didn't know that during the six-eared macaque's disaster, the appearance of Patriarch Bodhi made the monkey suddenly realize that being expelled from the school was just an illusion. Patriarch Bodhi had been caring about him all these years, even his Master also has a deep relationship with Buddhism!
That being the case, those warnings from back then can naturally be ignored. This monkey is also a guy who likes to show off. When he mentioned his origin and great supernatural powers, he couldn't hold back his mouth: "My grandson lives in Dongsheng Shenzhou , the body worships the Lingtai square inch, the supernatural powers and martial arts are all round, can disturb the sea and subdue the mother of dragons, be good at carrying mountains to chase the sun, bind monsters and capture demons, move stars to change battles, steal heaven and earth, and the changes are endless!"

It's a pity that the old man is a genuine mortal, the monkey said to himself that I am the only one in heaven and earth, the old man just sneered and disapproved, bowing his body and begging Xuanzang: "Elder, please!"

Ren Qinglian laughed secretly when she saw it, and stepped forward and asked: "If it's just the poisonous miasma formed by some persimmon trees, then Qijue Mountain is probably nothing to be afraid of. Could it be that there are some powerful monsters on this mountain that make the old man so afraid!"

The old man had noticed this normal-looking young man a long time ago, and when he heard his words, he explained as he walked: "To be honest, our place has been peaceful for a long time, but three years ago, a sudden gust of wind blew up. The wheat planters were in the field, and the seedling transplanters were in a panic. They only said that the sky had changed, but where the wind passed, a goblin came out and ate the cattle, horses, pigs and sheep grazing by the villagers. The goblin is extremely ferocious, seeing chickens and geese swallowing whole, and men and women are all swallowed alive..."

The monkey showed that he didn't get the attention it deserved, and kept worrying about it. Hearing the old man's words, he couldn't help but snorted: "I think you are too stingy, and you don't want to go to the surrounding temples to ask a mage to come and subdue the demons." !"

This place belongs to the Xiaoxi Tiandijie of Maitreya Buddha. There are many temples and Taoist temples along the way. Whether it is Buddha or Taoism, if you offer some incense, you can always find a few monks with magic spells to subdue demons.

It's okay not to mention this, but the old man complained bitterly after hearing what the monkey said: "Where did you go to invite him? That monk also wears cassocks. He first talks about "Peacock" and then reads "Fahua". After fighting with the monster for a while, there was no sound, we went up and saw that his bare head had already been beaten into a rotten watermelon."

Ren Qinglian knew that the red-scaled python was the clone of the Demon King Swallowing the Sky, not to mention a few ordinary monks with a little morality, even Monkey and others, it would take some effort to clean it up.

But the old man became more and more angry: "After the monk died, more troubles followed. We bought him a coffin for burial, and gave some money to his apprentices. Those apprentices of his are still heartbroken, and they still want to pay for it." Make a fuss and complain to the government!"

Those who want to come to Tuoluo Village have also been tortured by that group of monks. They have not been reduced to demons, and they have caused a lot of trouble.

The old man talked about the Taoist priests he had invited, but the result was similar.

Xiaoxitian is considered to be the fief granted by the Buddhist sect to Maitreya Buddha. This Buddha who came from the east knew that his achievements today are inseparable from the saint Lao Tzu, so he naturally wanted to please him. Therefore, there are many Taoist temples in this land.

After hearing this, Xuanzang said to Amitabha, "Don't worry, old benefactor, these disciples of the poor monk do have some Taoism, and they can also subdue demons and eliminate demons, but we don't want gold, silver, copper coins, and thousands of acres of fertile land." This is precisely: to save The camel has a stable Zen nature, free from filth and filth, and has a pure heart.

Although the old man felt that Xuanzang looked like an eminent monk, he was still somewhat skeptical.

The monkey was already gearing up for a try, and thought to himself: If you don't show some skills, you will really be underestimated by this old man.Secretly let go of the breath, and soon felt the existence of the monster, sending out a provocative idea.

At this time, the sky has gradually darkened, black clouds cover the stars, and the lights are dim everywhere.

Soon, the evil wind came, and the old man went straight under the table in horror. Xuanzang, whom he regarded as a great virtuous monk, was not much better, even hiding faster than this old man. The two of them squeezed into the room Under the table, tremblingly looked out.

The demonic aura was pervasive, the night was flying high, and he was still in shock, only to see two lantern-like eyes appearing in the sky.

"What a giant python!" Zhu Gangli gasped, but Ren Qinglian knew that this was not an ordinary giant python, but a strange beast swallowing the sky.

Even with the help of Jiuyou Xuantong, Ren Qinglian saw more. When the red-scaled python flew out of Qijue Mountain, the whole body was filled with poisonous gas. The smell of sulfur was also blowing away with the night wind.

The word "Swallowing Heaven" in the name of the Swallowing Python has nothing to do with magical powers such as swallowing, although this huge monster can swallow creatures several times its size.In fact, the reason why the Sky Swallowing Python dares to claim the title of Swallowing the Sky is because of its strange poison, which claims to be able to corrode everything, melt everything, and then swallow everything!
And the legendary seven-colored sky-swallowing python can be called one of the most poisonous beasts in the prehistoric world!
But the monkey said with a smile: "'Travel at night with candles, and stop without candles.' This goblin is showing us the way, let's go and have a look!" After speaking, he flew over there.

Zhu Gangli and Ren Qinglian followed closely behind, leaving Sha Wujing to protect Xuanzang.
