Super Prestige System

Chapter 328 The flower demon is dead, Bajie is abnormal.

The time sequence changes easily, winter ends and spring arrives.It was not until March of the following year that the Westward Journey team arrived at the next stop: Thorn Ridge.

The thorns climb eight hundred miles, and there are roads that few people travel in ancient times!
There was originally a road in Thorny Ridge, but now it is covered with thorns and thorns, and the road has been covered by clusters of thorns and needles, which is exactly:
Rubbing the first leaves densely, climbing and pulling are just fragrant.

Looking from a distance, I don't know where to go, but looking closely, it looks like green clouds.

There is a Muxian nunnery in Thorn Ridge, and eight monsters live in the Muxian nunnery:
Pine Tree Spirit: Eighteen males.

Cypress Tree Spirit: Guzhi Gong.

Cypress Book Essence: Ling Kongzi.

Green Bamboo Essence: Old Man Fuyun.

Maple tree essence: naked ghost.

In addition to these men, there is also a woman in Muxian Temple. This woman's name is Xingxian. Xingxian has two maids under her command: Dangui and Wintersweet.

When Zhou Ding watched Journey to the West for the first time, when he saw these eight tree spirits and flower demons, he only had one thought in his mind: Idiots, you are just seeking death!
Zhou Ding couldn't figure it out, these people wanted cultivation but no cultivation, they wanted ability but they didn't have it, and they didn't intend to eat Tang Monk's flesh.
In the end, one by one was wiped out by Zhu Bajie and uprooted. What a sad ending?

However, after Zhou Ding carefully thought about it, he suddenly discovered that things were not as simple as they seemed.

In this world, there is never love without reason, nor hatred without reason. It is impossible for these tree demons to risk their lives and rob Tang Seng just to recite poems and chat with Tang Seng.

Zhou Ding discovered the purpose of doing this from the content of the tree demon and Tang Seng talking about poetry and Taoism.

In order to confirm his guess, Zhou Ding did not destroy the plot of Thorn Ridge.

Tang Seng was kidnapped by the tree spirit. After waking up, four old tree spirits, Shibagong, Fuyunsou, Ling Kongzi, and Guzhigong, came forward to greet Tang Seng.

The four elders of the tree spirit exchanged greetings with Tang Seng, and then said: "The holy monk has practiced since he was a child, and he is a monk with the Tao. I am lucky to be in charge of the stage, and I dare to seek great teachings. I hope the holy monk will teach me a thing or two with the Zen method. Consolation life."

Zhou Ding hid on the clouds, smiled slightly, and said in his heart: The show is coming!
Are the dryads really asking for advice?

Not also!

The demons in Thorn Ridge did not really ask Tang Seng for advice, but they wanted to spark a debate between "Buddha" and "Tao" by asking for advice.

All the monsters in Thorn Ridge know that everyone on their side is not high in cultivation, and the strongest person is only at the stage of immortal cultivation.With these people alone, it is impossible to use force to destroy Journey to the West, so they can only send texts.

If you can defeat Tang Monk by debating, it will be like draining fuel from the cauldron of Journey to the West. If you can destroy Tang Monk's Zen mind, Journey to the West will inevitably fail.

Tang Monk's emotional intelligence was not high. He thought that the four tree spirit elders were sincerely discussing Zen, and he said: "Zen means tranquility, and Dharma means salvation. The degree of tranquility cannot be achieved without enlightenment. The enlightened person can wash away his mind and worries, and be free from the worldly world. It is also……"

Shiba Gong and Guzhi Gong were responsible for singing the praises and echoed: "The holy monk is the foundation of Zen enlightenment!"

Fu Yunsou sang with a white face and argued: "Although Zen is quiet and Dharma is saved, one needs to have a calm mind and a sincere mind. Even if you are a great enlightened immortal, you will end up in the path of lifelessness. What we call 'mysterious' is also Big difference."

Xuan Zhe, Dao Ye, Fu Yunsou's words indirectly indicate his identity as a Taoist.

Tang Seng asked: "Tao is extraordinary, body and function are united, how is it different?"

Fuyun old man replied: "...the Taoist, originally safe in China, turned to seek proof of the West. I wasted straw sandals, I don't know what to look for? The stone lion gouged out the heart and liver, and the wild fox saliva poured into the bone marrow. Forget the origin and practice Zen, and seek the Buddha fruit……"

The old man Fuyun almost pointed at his nose and scolded Tang Monk: China's Taoism is profound and inclusive, you are not a Taoist priest, but a monk, and went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.
Maybe it was out of politeness, maybe it was because people were under the eaves, but Tang Seng didn't immediately refute.

Looking at the night scene of Muxian Nunnery, Tang Seng pretended to be moved by the scene, and expressed his ambition with a sentence: "The Zen heart is like the moon and dustless."

Later, Tang Seng wrote another poem:
"Zhang Xi comes to the west to pay homage to the Dharma King. I hope that the wonderful scriptures will be spread far and wide. The three beautiful golden zhi are auspicious in the poetry world, and the treasure tree has thousands of flowers and lotus stamens.

A hundred feet must make progress, and the world of ten directions will stand and hide.It is cultivated into a majestic body of jade elephant, and there is a dojo in front of the gate of bliss. "

Tang Seng told his ambition with a poem: I like to be a monk, and I just want to learn from the scriptures!

Not to be outdone, the four tree spirits wrote poems one after another. The general meaning of the poems mostly contained the beauty of freedom, comfort, ease and freedom, alluding to the boring life of a monk.

A thousand cups of wine is less than a bosom friend, but a few words are too much if you don't speculate!

Tang Seng was a little bored, he didn't want to talk to everyone, and he was afraid of hurting his face, so he said politely:

"The poems of all the immortals and elders are really spitting out phoenixes and spraying pearls, and you Xia Mo praised them. The deep love and high affection are extremely touching. But the night is deep, and the three little disciples are still waiting for me. The poor monk can't stay long. I hope you will return to me with instructions." road."

It means: Your poems are really good, but I want to go back!

How could all the old tree spirits let Tang Seng go, and persuaded: "Don't worry, holy monk, we are destined to meet each other. The sky is sunny and clear tonight, and the moon is as bright as day. Sit down again and wait for the dawn to send the eminent monk across the ridge. Let the disciples meet."

Zhou Ding is clear: the debate between the tree demon and others has not worked, and now they are going to implement the second plan.

What is the second set of plans?
The second plan of the tree demons is to seduce Tang Seng when the persuasion fails.

The person who seduced Tang Seng was Xingxian.

Is Xingxian beautiful?

To be sent out to seduce Tang Seng, her appearance is naturally extremely beautiful!

Qingzi makeup emerald, red face match rouge.

The star's eyes are still bright, and the eyebrows are beautiful and neat.

The bow shoes have a curved phoenix mouth, and the silk socks are beautiful and muddy.

Enchanting and charming like a girl on the roof, not as pretty as Daji when she was young.

The Xingxian described by Wu Chengen can be compared with Daji, and the beauty can be imagined.

When the beauty Xingxian came, Tang Seng stopped making trouble, and sat quietly at the side, enjoying the tea and fruit offered by the beauty, and watching the beauty sing and dance happily.

The tea offered by Xingxian is actually an aphrodisiac soup.

Seeing Tang Seng drinking the tea, all the monsters in Thorn Ridge showed joy on their faces: as long as Tang Seng and Xingxian achieve good things, the Zen mind will be destroyed. In this way, it can also achieve the purpose of destroying the westward journey and preventing the eastward advancement of Buddhism.

pity!

If there is enough time, maybe Tang Seng can really follow the way of Xingxian and stay here to achieve good things with Xingxian.

Unfortunately, time is limited!
The ecstasy soup has not yet exerted its medicinal effect, and the demons realized that Monkey King will find this place soon, so they must speed up the pace of action.

Ever since, Xingxian nakedly expressed his love for Tang Seng.

The Eighteenth Duke persuaded: "Xing Xian has the feeling of looking up, how can the holy monk have no intention of bowing down? If you don't see pity, you don't know the fun."

Gu Zhigong also persuaded: "The holy monk is a well-known man of Taoism, how can he act carelessly. If Xingxian is interested, he can teach Fuyun old man to be a matchmaker with Shibagong, and I will protect my relatives with Ling Kongzi. Why not marry this marriage? !"

There are all those who protect the media and pull the fiber. If Tang Seng pushes the boat along with the current, everyone in Thorn Ridge will successfully destroy Journey to the West.

……

But will they succeed?
will not!

Journey to the West is the general trend of the way of heaven. The small trend of the way of heaven can be changed, but the general trend remains unchanged. Even a saint can't change the occurrence of Journey to the West, let alone a few little demons?
When he heard that he was going to get married, Tang Seng suddenly woke up and immediately returned to his appearance as a virtuous monk. He said seriously: "It would be great for us to talk about mysteries and Taoism together. Why did you set up a beauty trap to deceive me! What's the reason?"

Everyone in Thorn Ridge saw that the ecstasy soup that Tang Seng drank hadn't worked. They looked at each other and nodded knowingly: implement the third plan immediately.

What is the third plan?
Pull hard, the overlord bows hard!

As long as Tang Seng loses his body, he loses the qualification to learn scriptures. In this way, he can also achieve the purpose of destroying the journey to the west and preventing Buddhism from advancing eastward.

The naked ghost who has not spoken has appeared.

The naked ghost looked like a villain with a bad temper, and roared: "You monk, you don't know how to praise! What's wrong with Sister Xingxian? She is handsome and graceful, and she is not only a female worker in knitting, but also a poetic talent. Absolutely worthy of you, why do you refuse like this?
Tang Seng didn't answer!
The naked ghost continued: "I talk to you nicely, if you don't listen, I'll get angry. When the time comes, you won't be able to become a monk, and you won't be able to marry a daughter-in-law. Both will fail!"

The naked ghost threatened Tang Seng with evil words. Xingxian Qiao came to Tang Seng with a sweet smile and said softly: "Please don't worry, my dear guest. I will lean against the jade and enjoy the fragrance with you, and we can play around." After that, he pulled her. Tang Monk is going to the bridal chamber.

When Tang Seng was in distress, Wukong seemed to have received some kind of guidance, and immediately discovered the tricks of the dryad and others, and found Tang Seng's location.

When the tree spirit and others saw Wukong coming, they knew that there was nothing to be done, so they hurriedly disappeared and returned to their original bodies.

According to Zhou Ding's instructions, Wukong smiled and said to Bajie, "Bajie, have you ever seen a monster?"

Bajie shook his head and replied, "No."

Wukong pointed to the surrounding trees and said, "These are the trees that become spirits here."

Hearing the words, Bajie swung his rake forward, no matter good or bad, he danced wildly, knocking down the bodies of wintersweet, dangui, laoxing and Fengyang to the ground.

Zhou Ding hastily transmitted his voice to Wukong: "That's it!"

After Tang Seng and his apprentice set out on the road, Zhou Ding came to Muxian Temple and rescued the demons in Jingji Ridge!

All the demons knelt down to thank, Zhou Ding asked, "Can you tell me why you plot against Tang Seng?"

All the tree demons shook their heads and said nothing, Zhou Ding smiled slightly, and said, "Even if you don't tell me, I can guess one or two..." As he spoke, Zhou Ding waved his finger, and a word 'person' appeared on the ground.

The monsters were shocked!

You may have guessed that the word "ren" written by Zhou Ding refers to Renjiao.

Seeing the reactions of the demons, Zhou Ding thought: It seems that I guessed right!
You readers may want to ask, why did Zhou Ding guess about the Human Cult?

If Journey to the West fails, only Taoism will benefit, and among the three religions of Taoism, only Zhu Bajie, a disciple of Renjiao, participated in the Journey to the West incident!

The most important thing is: Zhu Bajie’s behavior has been very abnormal since the team came to Thorn Ridge!

As everyone knows, Zhu Bajie is a lazy person, he can lie down and never sit, and he can sit and never stand.

A lazy guy who has been making soy sauce all the way, but after arriving at Thorn Ridge, he is uncharacteristically!
When Tang Seng came to Thorn Ridge, he saw that although there were traces of the road on the hill, there were thorns and needles on the left and right. He said worriedly, "How can I ride a horse on such a road? Wukong, how far is this mountain?"

Wukong flew up to the clouds, looked around, and replied: "Master, this mountain is nearly a thousand miles away!"

Drifting laughed and said, "Master, Mochou, we also learned how to burn wasteland. We set a fire and burned all the thorns in the past."

But Bajie said: "Don't talk nonsense! The time to burn the wasteland must be around ten months, when the grass is withered and the trees are withered, so that the fire can be started. Now is the time when the crops are in bloom, how can we burn it!"

Bajie's words can at most fool Tang Monk who can't do magic, but they can't fool Wukong and others.

Everyone is a god, and the one with the lowest level of cultivation is also the True Immortal Taiyi. The fire released by the gods is not ordinary fire. How difficult is it to burn a mountain?
In order to prevent Drifting Monk from burning the mountain, Bajie desperately cast his Dharma Aspect Heaven and Earth immediately. He grew to a height of twenty feet, pulled away his steps, used palladium with both hands, hugged the thorns left and right, and walked in front of his head to open the way.

Logically speaking, it is Wukong's business to open roads across mountains and build bridges over water. Bajie, who has always been lazy, has to rush to do the work.

In order not to burn Jingji Ridge, the lazy Bajie actually started working as a coolie. Who can believe that there is nothing fishy in it?

Who is Bajie protecting?

Obviously, the people Bajie is protecting are the dryads in Thorn Ridge!
The bodies of the dryads are all in the mountains. If you use the fairy fire to burn the mountain, a few dryads will definitely not escape bad luck!
Bajie is a disciple of the Human Cult. Therefore, Zhou Ding speculated that these tree spirits must be related to the Human Cult.

Maybe some friends asked: Since Bajie is with them, why did Bajie kill them himself?
There are three reasons:

First, Bajie didn't want to make a move at first, and kept pretending not to see it. After the monkey pointed it out, Bajie made a move!

Second, Bajie is worried: There is a cowardly dryad who begs for mercy and leaks the secret!
Third: Ba personally takes action, and he can decide the severity. Even if the bodies of these dryads are knocked down, they may not necessarily die. If Wukong takes action, these dryads will undoubtedly die!

Zhou Ding easily revived these dryads, so it can be seen that Ba Jie really saved a hand!
Although the tree spirits admitted that they had some relationship with the Human Religion, Zhou Ding also knew that what they did was definitely not the instruction of Saint Taiqing!
Saint Taiqing is the smartest of the three Qings, he would not be so foolish as to count on a few little demons to destroy Journey to the West.

The most likely possibility is that these tree demons have thought of a way to help Taoism and want to please Taoism.

As for Taoist disciples, although they feel that their plan is difficult to succeed, what if they succeed?

In addition, even if they fail, Taoism will not lose anything, so the disciples of Taoism are happy to see their success.

Zhou Ding looked at these pitiful tree spirits with scars and asked, "Where do you plan to go from here?"

Thorn Ridge can no longer live, if they continue to stay in Thorn Ridge, there is only one dead end.

All the tree demons looked at each other, and Xingxian replied instead of everyone: "I am willing to wait for the sage to send me, I hope the sage will take me in!"

Zhou Ding thought: It seems that after this incident, these dryads have been disappointed with the Human Sect. It is true that they only have the cultivation base of the Immortal stage, but they have only cultivated for a thousand years, and within a thousand years, they can cultivate to the Immortal stage by themselves. It can be seen that , Their qualifications are good and they are worth cultivating.

In addition, there are only two immortals, father-in-law and Yu'er, in the huge Jilei Mountain, so it's really weak, it's time to add some subordinates!

With this in mind, Zhou Ding nodded, and with a big wave of his hand, he attracted a cloud of auspicious clouds, and led the tree spirit from Thorn Ridge to Jilei Mountain!
