Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 421 The Eight Immortals Gather
Ren Qinglian rolled her eyes, hugged Buddha's feet temporarily, and prayed to these gods and Buddhas for nothing, if he hadn't secretly protected the old man with his true energy, the old man might have been killed by the energy splashing around at this time.

At this time, Lan Caihe also noticed the embarrassment of the old shopkeeper. He knew that the old man was a Grandet. Even if they demolished the entire attic, they probably wouldn't take the initiative to leave. He even sneered at Monk Daoji: " The place is too small, Daoist can't move his hands and feet, go outside!" Then, he suddenly waved his sleeves, and floated up like a big crane, flashed out of the attic, and went to the depths of the West Lake.

Daoji didn't think too much about it. Although the strength of this sloppy Taoist was somewhat beyond expectations, he also became more and more courageous with each battle. With his self-confidence bursting, he would not retreat, and shouted: "Where to go!" Jumped out of the window and chased after him.

"..." The old shopkeeper looked frustrated, and sighed silently. Although the two demons didn't demolish his attic, they scared away his few customers. He shook his head and looked around. , the only remaining guest has also disappeared without a trace.

……

From winter to spring, the water in West Lake is warm.

On the lake, two galloping figures finally stopped on a small island in the middle of the lake.

"I have some skills, but it's a pity that I have fallen into a demon barrier. It's better to see my nature and take refuge in my Buddha!" ​​Seeing Lan Cai and his mysterious body skills, Daoji couldn't help but think of Hui An's words.Hui An passed by Lingyin Temple that day, but it was only a temporary impulse to enlighten the subduing dragon Arhat. He didn't explain much at the time, but let him accumulate strength to escort the Mahayana's upcoming Legend of the White Snake, and this so-called Accumulating strength naturally not only includes the recovery of his own strength, but also includes letting him recruit some Buddhist masters with extraordinary aptitude.

Ren Qinglian, who followed closely, had a weird expression when she heard this. This Dragon Subduing Arhat actually dug the corner of the wall to the Eight Immortals of the Upper Cave taught by the people.

Lan Caihe smacked his mouth, and casually drank the last bit of blue wine in the flagon, Yang Tianchang laughed and said, "However, this Dao is about to become a demon!" Ji's head was more than ten feet high, and the sleeve of his robe swung swiftly, and he slapped it down fiercely.

"Taiqing Xianqi!" Feeling Lan Caihe's completely released breath, Monk Daoji finally changed his color, "You are a disciple of the Human Sect!" Disciples are rare, even if there are, whoever is not a neat and handsome Taoist disciple like this kind of Taoist disciple would think about this sloppy Taoist in front of him.

A strange look flashed in Lan Caihe's eyes, and he thought: "This bald donkey really has some origins!" But he didn't intend to stop at all, and the white magic power leaped out from his fingers, condensed and never scattered, covering the sky and covering the earth fall.

Daoji monk didn't dare to be careless, he let out an angry roar, his feet were walking like a tiger, his palms were empty, and he spun between the opponent's palm prints.

There was no one on the island, and Lan Caihe had no scruples at this time, he pressed his palms repeatedly, and flipped leisurely, his ten fingers began to emit a faint golden color under the sun, and the nearby air began to become scorched.

"Samadhi True Fire! Who are you?" Daoji was taken aback. There are only a handful of human disciples who can use Samadhi True Fire in the entire Earth Immortal World. , but may not be comparable to these Taoist direct disciples.

In the distance, Ren Qinglian also became a little surprised, "Lan Caihe's previous life may have some connection with Laojun!" But he never thought about it, this connection is far more profound than he thought.

Lan Caihe is the birth of the Barefoot Immortal. The monkey turned into this Barefoot Immortal when he made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. Although this person's strength is only in the ordinary Golden Immortal realm, his seniority is not small, so the Queen Mother will be at the Pantao Festival will ask him.This barefoot immortal was originally an innate nine-color flower vine on Buzhou Mountain. As we all know, in the early years of the flood, there were countless treasures born on the Buzhou Mountain. The congenital spiritual roots that people found on that mountain were made of gourd and vines. In addition, plantain fans, fairy apricots, etc. were also found on Buzhou Mountain.

Therefore, growing on Buzhou Mountain is not only a blessing for these innate spiritual roots, but also a catastrophe for them. Although the innate nine-color flower vine is not as good as the gourd vine in terms of grade, it is a good refining material because of the spatial power it contains , and was soon acquired by Lao Tzu, who had tasted the sweetness, and used the nine-color flower vines to weave two or three flower baskets, one of which is the one in Lan Caihe's hand now, and Li Er kept one in his hand. One was bestowed upon Huang Tianhua during the Conferred God Period.However, Lao Tzu only discovered after cutting most of the nine-color flower vine that spiritual wisdom was born from this spiritual root. Practitioners are most afraid of the entanglement of cause and effect, but it is a done deal. What can be done now is to find a way to save the nine-color flower vine. Come down, and then, the nine-color flower vine successfully transforms into a form, and it will become the barefoot immortal in the future.

Because of the damage to his body, this great immortal has a sloppy appearance since he took shape, and he needs to be barefoot and constantly absorb the spiritual energy of the earth to ensure that he is not hungry. However, because of this, he has cultivated a high-strength Work hard on your feet.However, with his appearance and aptitude, it is obviously impossible for him to be accepted as an apprentice by the sage Lao Tzu.This time the Taishang Laojun planned the Eight Immortals because he thought of this person. Firstly, what happened back then made him feel ashamed. It has been completed, and it is no problem to be a disciple taught by others.

However, Lan Caihe's Samadhi True Fire obviously did not cultivate well, and those faint golden colors could not become real flames in the end.

This made Daoji feel relieved, guessing that this thief just learned some superficial tricks from somewhere, he strode forward, left fists right, right fists left, the crossed fists seemed slow, but they were always round Turning around and changing as you wish, the pure Buddhist energy gradually converged into two Jiaoyao dragons, locked on his arms by him, and hit Lan Caihe with a bang.

"What a move to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger!" Just as Daoji and Lan Caihe fought again, six figures galloped across the lake. The person who spoke was an old man on crutches. Ren Qinglian recognized his identity at a glance. The oldest one, Tieguai Li!

Tieguai Li is a person from the pre-Qin period. His real name was Li Xuan. At that time, Li Er, the incarnation of the sage of the Taiqing Dynasty, rode a bull and traveled around the Ba Kingdom. Seeing that he was talented and intelligent, he gave some advice. Self-proclaimed, wandering around to practice Taoism, not long ago the Eight Immortals of Shangdong Yingjie were born, and it was the daughter-in-law who became a mother-in-law and became a true disciple of Renjiao.

Thinking about it, Lu Dongbin had strode over, "You guys made such a big fight in the Chenghuang Pavilion, so you are fighting with this monk?"

Ren Qinglian shrugged her shoulders: "I didn't do anything. It was Lan Caihe who had an argument with this monk. If they didn't agree with each other, they fought!"

"Haha, Lan Cai and fellow daoist are in the same spirit. They are still the same as the barefoot fairy in my previous impression. They dare to love and hate!" It was Ren Qinglian's old acquaintance Zhong Liquan who spoke.

"It turns out that he is the reincarnation of the Barefoot Immortal, no wonder..." Thinking of the legendary description of the image of the Barefoot Immortal, Ren Qinglian was stunned, "I don't know if the other fellow Taoists are also the reincarnation of some famous immortals!"

Zhong Liquan said with a smile: "You must already know Chunyang's identity. Among the eight of us, apart from him and Lan Caihe, only He Daoyou's past life can be regarded as a famous god."

"Oh?" Ren Qinglian was curious, looked at the Taoist nun who was walking in the back, wearing a plain Taoist robe, and secretly said: she looks fresh and refined, worthy of being the beauty of the Eight Immortals.But thinking of the bloody love triangle between Lu Dongbin, Bai Mudan, and He Xiangu described in the previous Journey to the East, I couldn't help but look at Lu Dongbin again.

Lü Dongbin felt unnatural when he saw him, and thought: "Could it be possible for this brat to see something..." Thinking, he gave a dry cough, and introduced him to He Xiangu: "He Xianzi, he is Han Xiangzi. " Then she turned to Ren Qinglian and said, "Han Xiangzi, this fairy is He Xiangu."

"..." Ren Qinglian opened her mouth. Didn't Lu Dongbin play tricks on himself? In this world of immortals, he is too beautiful to be eaten. He didn't bother to pay attention to the matter between the two, so he tugged at Zhong Liquan's sleeve , asked in a low voice: "Don't play tricks, who was He Xiangu in her previous life?" This was what he was really curious about.

"you guess."

Guess your sister!Ren Qinglian roared in her heart, He Xiangu already laughed and said: "You made Han Daoist laugh, Pindao's previous life was Baihua Fairy from Penglai Island."

"It turned out to be Baihua Fairy, I'm sorry and disrespectful!" When I followed the monkey to visit Penglai Island, I heard the existence of this fairy mentioned by the three stars of Fu Lu Shou. It seemed to be the fairy who was sitting by the Queen Mother of the West. A disciple of Renjiao.

Next, Tieguai Li and the others also introduced themselves. Uncle Cao created a pavilion on the island, and seven people sat in it to gather, leaving Lan Cai and one person outside to continue with Monk Daoji. Learn from each other".

"This monk has an extraordinary background. I heard that he is a guardian arranged by Buddhism for Xu Xuan. Xu Xuan, you all know that he is the nephew of Lan Cai and fellow Taoist?" Ren Qinglian said meaningfully.

Everyone nodded subconsciously. They had known Lan Caihe for more than a day or two, and the Mahayana teaching plan was not a small matter, so they had already heard about it.

"This person is the reincarnation of the Dragon Subduing Arhat of Buddhism, but according to Pindao's previous calculations, it will take several lifetimes to awaken his memory. It seems that this time Mahayana has taken a lot of trouble for Xu Xuan!" Zhang Guolao is proficient The technique of deduction, couldn't help but say.

It really is Arhat Subduing Dragon!Ren Qinglian thought to herself.

Over there, even though Ren Qinglian and the others did not intervene in Lan Caihe's battle with Daoji, having them on the sidelines would eventually increase the pressure on Monk Daoji's heart. Those who recovered began to gradually fall into a disadvantage.

Lan Caihe had been secretly paying attention to the conversations of several fellow Taoists, and when he heard Zhang Guolao's words, he had no scruples and laughed loudly: "The number of days is so long, since it's not yet time for you to be born, you can continue to reincarnate and go back. !” As he spoke, the skirts of his entire body fluttered in the wind, and the sleeves of the robe that lifted the sky were like wings blowing in the wind, making it look like a god and demon descended into the world.

The two men's figures were erratic like ghosts, and they fought more intensely. Lan Cai and the basket hid countless weapons, knives, guns, swords and halberds, and the blue sharp edges continued to travel through the void. The flying dragon roared and neighed in the void.

Finally, with a sound of "Boom!", a big knife fell on Daoji's shoulder.

The turbulent airflow composed of Buddha's power and sword energy strangled and smashed several nearby rocks, and Daoji's body was also crushed. His Taoism has improved rapidly in a very short period of time, but after all And Mortal, without enough natural resources and earthly treasures, it is not easy to restore physical strength.

"Haha, have fun!" Lan Caihe dropped a shoe on the edge of the pavilion, and cupped his hands towards Tieguai Li and others on the Seven Stars table: "Six fellow Taoists, don't come here without any harm!"

"You! Aren't you afraid that those Bodhisattvas will trouble you?" Lu Dongbin smiled, "Come, take a seat!" After speaking, he spread his five fingers, released the misty fairy light, rearranged the wooden particles of the seven-star table, transformed and expanded, and produced more On one side, it becomes an octagonal table.

"You're being polite!" Lan Caihe bowed slightly, and then sat down solemnly, "Poverty Dao, this is called obedience to heaven!"

Everyone laughed, and Ren Qinglian couldn't help laughing.

"But when it comes to looking for trouble, you should go to Fellow Daoist Lu!" He Xiangu said suddenly.

Everyone was a little confused, and Lu Dongbin himself was even more confused.

Then I heard He Xiangu continue to say: "During the Buddhist plan this time, the white snake was severely injured by Lu Daoyou."

Speaking of this, Lu Dongbin suddenly realized: "It turns out that this is the matter..."

When everyone asked again, Lu Dongbin didn't hide anything.

It turned out that a few years ago, Lu Dongbin was traveling all over the world, slaying demons and killing demons. During this period, he happened to meet Bai Suzhen. After a battle, he severely injured the snake demon. Although Li Shan's mother appeared in time and saved half of the white snake's life, but This beam can be regarded as a knot.

"No wonder Bai Suzhen agreed to participate in this plan of the Buddhist sect. She must have suffered some serious injuries in the battle and wanted to use this plan to break through the catastrophe and be reborn!" Ren Qinglian thought of Han Xiaoyu, this idiot Although the silly little fox "died" at the hands of Fa Hai, he also died because of Lu Dongbin.

"I don't know how she is doing now. When the things here are over, I will go to the underworld first. While merging the blood and body, I will take a look at her..." In his opinion, in the future, the cultivation base of Tu Niangniang will be It is definitely no problem to save the Nine-Tailed Fox.

This gathering of the Eight Immortals is not just a simple meeting. The matter of the Eight Immortals going to the cave has been planned for a long time. Now that the Eight Immortals gather together, it is for the purpose of going to the Heavenly Court to be rewarded. Only in this way can they justifiably become the protagonist of the Great Tribulation. With the protection of Xuanmen luck and heaven luck, he will become the real backbone in the following turmoil in Guixu.

Although Ren Qinglian doesn't value the so-called rewards from the Heavenly Court, but this kind of luck plus body is bound to be fought for. After all, he has long experienced the benefits of luck, and when the strength is not enough to crush everything Sometimes, with the help of such external force, it is obviously more helpful to live longer and get more.

Everyone chatted and laughed for a while, then went to the heaven.The Jade Emperor bestowed a feast on him and gave each of the eight people a cave. Ren Qinglian also had her own cave in the heaven. Under the leadership of the fairy officials, she came to his cave——Biyun Peak, which is located at 33 Heaven's paradise.

"This is 33 days?" Ren Qinglian couldn't help asking when she heard the location of Biyun Peak from the fairy official.

"Han Immortal doesn't know that although the Heaven Realm is huge, it is only in these 33 days that the aura is the most intense, and it is possible to give birth to such a blessed place!" The Immortal Official said respectfully.

Ren Qinglian nodded and signaled the immortal official to leave on her own, but she thought of Xuanyuan Huangdi who had secretly helped her in Xuehai Wuya that day, "Since you're here, let's go see the emperor first!" As he spoke, he glanced at a jade talisman handed to him by the immortal official before he left.

This jade talisman is like a map, marking all the fairy mountain caves in 33 days, which not only facilitates Ren Qinglian to identify her own cave, but also prevents him from accidentally breaking into other people's caves and causing unnecessary troubles.

"Fire Cloud Cave..." Ren Qinglian realized that he was not too far away from Fire Cloud Cave, so she smiled and headed there.

The whole heaven is made up of small thousand worlds accumulated layer by layer. The 33 days at the top of the pyramid is undoubtedly the place with the strongest aura. Ren Qinglian walked among the clouds and slowly discovered that these things she thought when she came The clouds and mist are actually formed by the condensation of aura. It is conceivable how rich the aura must be in these 33 days.
