dark battle

It was a full three months since the two left.In the past, Chen Xiang traveled all over the country by flying high above the clouds, and was completely unfamiliar with the land route. It was not until he entered the mountains that he gradually recognized the place - Emei.

"You came here just to bring me? Why are you still here? Even if Monkey King can still teach me, how long will I have to learn?"

Liu Yanchang just strode up the mountain, and said plainly: "It's already here, why don't you go up to see your master?"

Chen Xiang was also very open-minded: "Yes, I've come here, at least I can hurry up when I go back."

restore mana

The fairies on Mount Emei are as old as before, with clusters of flowers and clear green leaves.Coming here through mountains and rivers, revisiting the old place is particularly touching.

However, before Chen Xiang had time to feel sad, he saw the dense cobwebs at the entrance of the holy Buddha's cave, hurriedly ran forward to take a closer look, and was very surprised: "It seems that he hasn't come back for a long time."

Liu Yanchang waved to him, motioned him to come closer, pointed to a place on the ground and said, "Father took you away for three months, just to let you see this pit again with your own eyes."

Chen Xiang lowered his eyebrows and looked, his heart was shocked.There are two hollows on the ground where the knees are buckled, which is the imprint left by him kneeling for a year when he was begging for a teacher. Counting it, it was four or five years ago, but it is still there.

"Chen Xiang, you failed this time, but it may not be a bad thing for you. Didn't your mother tell you? Be calm and think about things. Have you ever thought about it? Thought, no matter how powerful he has magic power, it is nothing but the courage of a man."

Chen Xiang looked at Liu Yanchang in a daze, as if he had penetrated his voice and reached a place that he had never been before.

In the past, everyone was telling him that as long as he possessed the best abilities, he could save his mother, and he himself had always believed in this.The only purpose of his mana is to save his mother, so in order to get the Jade Emperor's pardon, he gave up his mana, which is almost comparable to Sun Wukong.And when he was cheated out of mana, he naturally thought that everything was over.

But now, his father told him that magic power is just the courage of a man.

"Chen Xiang, don't be impatient, if you don't think clearly, even if you immediately have the previous mana, you will still lose to the Heavenly Court."

Chen Xiang's lips moved slightly, as if there were thousands of emotions welling up there, but they all dissipated invisible when they were about to blurt out.

"I'll go back to Liu's Village and wait for you."

The wind in Emei is the same as before, with a little sweetness and a little monkey-specific atmosphere.Agarwood stood there like a log, staring down at the two knee holes under his feet, and the memories that had been temporarily gone surged up again and again...

……

"It must be 'almost' and 'almost' when practicing, so when it comes to critical moments, it is always a little bit closer!"

……

"You don't even know why your mother was crushed under Mount Hua, but you still want to save your mother, don't dream!"

……

That person, that extremely cold and ruthless person, why did the words that he blurted out in retrospect burn like flames?

Chen Xiang actually remembered the conversation he had with Taishang Laojun, he said at that time: "Kill me, put me into your gossip furnace to make alchemy."

And what did Taishang Laojun say?

……

"It's not that I don't want to throw you into the gossip furnace, I just feel sorry for my elixir! What about your determination, confidence, and patience? I didn't expect you to be so unable to withstand setbacks. Do you know why the fire in the gossip furnace never burns?" Is it extinguished? A piece of firewood can only bear the responsibility of the period of time it burns, and it will turn into ashes when it is burnt out. Extinguish."

……

Tiantiao is a piece of firewood?

……

"Although you have eaten so many elixir from me, you never know the magical effect of those elixir, which ones belong to gold, which ones belong to wood, which ones belong to water, which ones belong to fire, and which ones belong to earth, because you swallow them whole. Those elixir It's in your flesh, like the books you've read—it's in your head, and it's yours."

……

It turns out that what I gave up was only the magic power at that time, but the elixir has already melted into my blood, so I can't let it go, I just need to dig out the power of these elixir!

That's it!

That's it!

Why does Taishang Laojun know that I have read five thousand books and know the three tests set by Erlang God?

No matter what the reason is, Erlang Shen, I cannot admit defeat!

The years have not traced, and Chen Xiang practiced alone among the lush forests and bamboos. He only felt that his state of mind was not what it used to be, and his mana was gradually enlightened.

"Taishang Laojun, thank you!"

……

Early in the morning, the Zhumen of Jingtan Temple were photographed vividly.Zhu Bajie had just used the early fast, and while picking his teeth with an inch-long nine-tooth nail rake, he looked angrily to see which brat was so presumptuous.

Lazily opening the door a foot, Zhu Bajie suddenly saw the visitor, screamed strangely, and wanted to close the door again, but the visitor grabbed the latch to stop him.

Zhu Bajie shrank his neck: "Who are you?"

The visitor wondered: "You don't know me anymore? I am Chen Xiang." In the past, Master Zhu used to rely on his old age to sell the old, but now it seems that he is really old and confused.

Zhu Bajie tremblingly said: "Didn't you be thrown into the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun?"

"I was thrown in." Chen Xiang couldn't help laughing when he saw that Zhu Bajie thought he was a ghost, and that a Buddhist envoy was afraid that his apprentice would become a ghost, and said brightly: "Although I haven't cultivated my sharp eyes, I have great magic power. increase!"

"You, you, don't bully the old pig. You can't tell the truth from the fake. How can you prove that you are the real Chen Xiang?"

"Look into my eyes." Chen Xiang said, "What do you see?"

"I saw...a pig...no, I saw myself." Zhu Bajie took a closer look at the figure again, only to feel that Chen Xiang was a fresh and graceful young man, calm and majestic, a vigorous young man The spirit is still there - this familiar feeling cannot be deceived, "You, are you really Chen Xiang?"

Chen Xiang smiled lightly, and coaxed coquettishly: "I am really Chen Xiang, Master."

Zhu Bajie was stunned for a long while, then hugged the young man tightly into his generous and fleshy arms, tears welling up in his eyes: "Disciple, you have made Master heartbroken! Disciple, Master wants to kill you!"

The two masters and apprentices briefly described their respective affairs for the past year in the quiet main hall of Jingtan Temple, and mentioned the long-term disappearance of Monkey King. After guessing and guessing, they finally thought of Yang Jian.There are a few people in the Three Realms who can restrain Sun Wukong, but at this time, the only one who has reason to embarrass him is Yang Jian, who is almost the same as him.If the power of the Lotus Lantern is added, it is not impossible for Yang Jian to trap Monkey King.

Zhu Bajie was still a little unconvinced: "Sun Wukong is after all the Buddha of the Western Paradise who conferred the title of Fighting Conqueror Buddha, Erlang God dare not do anything to him, right?"

"They even dare to pretend to be the Jade Emperor and the Queen Mother, what else are they afraid to do?"

Chen Xiang heard that Ding Xiang and Ao Chun were helping in Jilei Mountain at this moment, and guessed that Yang Jian's people must also be in Jilei Mountain. At this time, the defense of the Zhenjun Temple must be empty, so he just went to check on the whereabouts of Monkey King.

Xiaotiangou was running errands to send a message, and accidentally smelled the scent of agarwood in the clouds. He couldn't help being terrified, and hurriedly rolled back to Jilei Mountain to report to Yang Jian.

Chen Xiang sneaked into the Zhenjun Temple and was already acquainted with it for the first time. He hid behind the stone statue of Xiezhi in front of the temple and observed for a while. Going up to the front of the hall, he explained to the gate guard: "This is the son of the Bull Demon King, Red Boy."

The guards looked at each other and frowned: "Red Boy? Are you the only escort?"

Chen Xiang was taken aback for a moment.He himself is highly skilled, but he only knows that the red boy has been regarded as a thorn in Tianting's side recently, so he imagined his appearance, but he never regarded him as such a thorny opponent. He only reacted to the Holy Infant when he was reminded At any rate, the Great King was considered a demon king, and hurriedly said: "His mana has been abolished by the True Monarch, and now he can't even beat you. The True Monarch ordered him to be locked up here."

The guard lets go.

Chen Xiang didn't expect it to be so smooth, he hesitated and took a step forward, then backed up and said: "I'm new here, I'm not very familiar with this place. Zhenjun has ordered that Honghaier is not an ordinary prisoner. Special detention must be held in the safest place."

The guard at the gate saw him talking in a long-winded manner, so he was considerate of him as a newcomer, and understood for him: "That is to say, you want to be locked up with the most dangerous and important people? We understand this." He beckoned a colleague to guide Chen Xiang.

Chen Xiang followed the guards along the dark corridor and circled around to the deepest place.The guards greeted Qingtian Lishi, and then withdrew on their own after fulfilling their duty of leading the way.

Seeing Chen Xiang's confused face, Qingtian Lishi asked, "Where's the token?"

Token?Chen Xiang gritted her teeth and scratched her head, using a secret trick, and took out a dozen strings of tokens of various colors from the back of her head in one breath, "These two days are really annoying, Zhenjun and Brother Meishan asked me to do a lot of things, I don't know which one it is , take a look?"

"Is there any mistake..." Qing Tianlishi rummaged through a stack of tokens twice, hit himself impatiently on the waist and took off a red-string red gold oval token, "Is there anyone like me?"

Chen Xiang stared at it carefully while smiling, and also conjured up a seemingly identical token from the back of his waist, "Yes, it's round, so I specially put it up. Is this right?"

Qingtian Lishi nodded, and turned to lift the intricately carved Xuanmen behind him.Chen Xiang's biggest advantage is that he has a wink, and he quickly goes over to help.Chen Xiang noticed that the Athenian Hercules seemed to have stopped lifting upwards.
