Journey to the West: Stone Heart and Stone Edge

"You mean, the golden post is transformed by the belief of Buddhists?"

Ruyi nodded slowly, looked at Nanhua with a little expectation, "Kong Xuan told me so."

This time, it will be troublesome... Nan Hua looked away, feeling depressed and uncomfortable.

Among all the people present, he knew better than anyone else the power of the Golden Letter of Faith, and because of this, he could only keep silent.

He couldn't say the words "powerless".It's not that I'm afraid of wishful disappointment, but that I'm afraid of despair.

This is not just such a high-sounding reason as Tathagata "strikes for the heaven".To be able to use the golden letter of faith, there must be a major event in the Tathagata, which is enough to affect the event of the entire Lingshan.

And Monkey King is the key pawn in this event!

Nanhua didn't know exactly how important it was, but after guessing this step, he knew that there was almost no room for turning around Lingshan.

With the weak ability of a mortal, it is absolutely foolish to try to compete with Lingshan.

Nanhua's face was cloudy and uncertain. After thinking for a long time, he raised his head and asked, "Master...does the Patriarch have any orders?"

Ruyi didn't tell him the words left by his master on Fangcun Mountain before, so Nanhua asked this question. He wanted to know the mind of Patriarch Bodhi.

Ruyi thought that Nanhua was questioning why the master stood by and watched, so she explained, "What we are doing now is actually ordered by the master. It's just that the old man may have other considerations, so he didn't intervene."

"After talking for a long time, what did you think of?" Honglian listened for a while, and finally couldn't help but interject.

"I don't think you need to worry about Kong Xuan. If I guess correctly, he is most likely recalled by the Patriarch." Nanhua said to Ruyi, "Judging from the methods you mentioned about Kong Xuan and his previous actions, To make him leave without saying goodbye, either his life is in danger or he has to leave. Since Tathagata was unwilling to fight him in public before, at least he can be safe on the surface. He is not a person who has a beginning and an end. The patriarch can call him Let's go, it must have something to do with the senior brother."

Even, combined with what Ruyi is doing now, Nanhua has already vaguely guessed what Kong Xuan might do.

"You guessed what he was going to do?" Honglian asked.

Nan Hua paused and shook his head.

Honglian was speechless, "Then what's the use of saying that?"

It's not that Nanhua doesn't want to speak out, even if there are no outsiders here, the inside story he guessed is of great importance.He still doesn't know how capable Tathagata is, so no matter if he guesses right or wrong, he can only keep his mouth shut.

He brought the topic to Kong Xuan in order to deliberately ignore what he really cared about.

Forced to sit at the corner of the table, Sun Wukong, who was more than three steps away from Ruyi, looked at everyone present, and said in his heart that it would be a lie not to be moved.To be honest, he never thought before that besides Ruyi, besides the master, besides the monkeys and grandchildren of Huaguo Mountain, there would be anyone who would be toward him.

However, Nanhua's speculation also made Sun Wukong's original doubts even deeper.He had originally thought that it was because he had refined the golden elixir and had an indestructible body like a vajra. Tathagata couldn't think of a way to kill him for a while, so he had no choice but to press him down the mountain.Listening to this conversation now, why does he feel that the matter is far more than that.

What kind of tricks does the old man Tathagata want to play?

Ruyi didn't expect Nan Hua to see through everything. In fact, she was very grateful for Nan Hua's analysis of Kong Xuan's whereabouts.Although not everything Nanhua said is correct, but his analysis is very reasonable. If Master really thinks about it behind the scenes, Ruyi will have more confidence.

"You'd better leave as soon as possible, it's too dangerous here."

Neither the Golden Retriever nor the one who rescued the Jade Rat tonight are not easy to deal with.If Shicai hadn't been there as he wished, Nanhua might be doomed.

Honglian frowned, feeling that Ruyi shouldn't drive others away as soon as she opened her mouth. Even if they are not as good as Kong Xuan, they can still contribute.

"Okay, I'll leave immediately." Nanhua agreed happily.

The persuasion that Hongren hadn't said yet choked in her throat.

This kid is so spineless, I still think of him as one of my own!Hong Lian curled her lips, looking down on Nan Hua a bit.

"Hmph, look at how he was complaining at first, who knows he's a coward." Nanhua left as soon as he said that, Honglian didn't even say goodbye to him, and after he left, she complained to Ruyi angrily .

"Everyone has his own ambitions, and he didn't do anything wrong. Where did you get your temper?"

"That's right, but he's a little too straightforward." Honglian muttered in a low voice with a bad face.

Ruyi laughed, "Don't you want to push me for a long time before leaving? It's useless to stay, and it's safer to leave early. You have such nagging skills, why don't you go to meditate and practice."

After tossing and tossing for half the night, Ruyi still wants to hurry up and continue teaching his apprentices.

Before, he just verbally told the little monkey not to enter the house to make trouble at this time, but now he didn't even verbally tell him, and just put a spell outside the house, who told him he was still making mistakes.

"You deserve to fall out of favor," Honglian gloated at the side, watching the little monkey bump his nose at the door and drooping his head dejectedly on the table, "Who told you not to learn well."

Sun Wu gave him a blank look, really confused why Ruyi was still angry.

Hong Lian didn't care about his attitude, and continued to laugh at him, "You'll be able to steal and take advantage at a young age. You're lucky. If Sun Monkey is here, I might beat you into meatloaf with a stick."

The little monkey turned his head suddenly and stared at Honglian.

"What are you looking at, don't believe it? That monkey is very domineering. In the past, on the mountain, I told my senior sister that he wanted to eat me. His mouth is cheap and stingy." There is no limit to being arrogant and domineering in front of others, and pretending to be cute as soon as you turn your face to the senior sister, let me tell you..."

Honglian said so much, Sun Wukong didn't hear a word, and now only Honglian's words are left in his mind.

If Sun Monkey catches up with...

Monkey King, who had never turned a corner all this time, suddenly realized that he is not Monkey King now!

So what he sees is completely different from what Ruyi sees.

Although it's strange to think about it, but if you look at the injustice at that time as yourself, Monkey King feels that Ruyi's slap is really good.

Thinking about it this way, just one slap is too little.

The depressed mood of being rejected from the door suddenly became inexplicably happy.

Sun Wukong, who understood the crux of the problem, felt that this matter was easy to solve, just wait for Ruyi to come out and tell her the truth.

Ruyi, who teaches Taoism in the house, doesn't know this. She is trying her best to be a good teacher.

"The art of transformation is one of the 36 transformations. It is suitable for concealing one's appearance and deceiving people's eyes and ears. Only people with heavenly eyes like Yang Jian, or people whose cultivation level is much higher than yours can see through it, but few people will pay attention to the common things around them Things, so as long as they change properly, even people who are stronger than you can hide it."

Six Ears listened carefully, and asked aloud, "Master, do you mean that even someone whose cultivation base is much higher than me, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cast spells, he can't see through the changes?"

Ruyi nodded, and added, "There is a limit to this. There are different levels of cultivation. If your level is too high, the technique of transformation will not work at all."

"What about you, master, at the level of master's cultivation, will my current transformation technique be useful?"

"Of course it's useful." That's why Ruyi taught him this technique first. With Jinmaoji's level of cultivation, Liu Er can completely protect himself. "Have you memorized the formula just now?"

Six Ears nodded vigorously.

"Then you try it first." Compared with the end of the mantra taught by Patriarch Bodhi, Ruyi who personally taught him is indeed doing his best.

Even in other sects, this is the treatment only chief disciples have.

But speaking of it, Liu Er is indeed Ruyi's chief disciple.

He secretly recited the key points several times in his heart, his six-eared eyeballs moved left and right, the corners of his mouth raised to look at Ruyi, and suddenly he turned around and immediately changed his appearance.

Purple gold crown with phoenix wings, golden armor with locks, lotus root silk walking on clouds, stretched out a hand, and a golden cudgel stick on the ground, facing Ruyi straightened up proudly.

He originally had the same appearance as Monkey King, but it was just a change of clothes, which was much easier than turning into a bird and mountain eagle.

That familiar and dazzling outfit almost dazzled Ruyi's eyes.

Ruyi, who was originally smiling gently, turned cold.

Liu Er is so sensitive, as soon as Ruyi's face changed, his smile froze.Hastily put away the spell and knelt on the futon, lowered her voice, cautiously said, "Master, have I changed well?"

His pitiful expression resembled a child who wanted to please others but was afraid of doing something wrong.

This made Ruyi's scolding come to his lips but he couldn't get out.

Monkey King was right, Liu Er used to make Ruyi feel distressed.

Ruyi softened her expression, "Where did you learn this practice?"

Liu Er just learned the art of transformation and was able to comprehend it in less than a quarter of an hour. Ruyi is believed, but comprehension does not mean that he can use it.There is no real energy in the body, even if you know the magic formula, it is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Before Ruyi accepted him as an apprentice, Liu Er Ke didn't show any signs of cultivation, but now he already has the true essence that can support the technique of transformation, how can Ruyi not pay attention to it.

If he himself has a master, it is even more necessary to find out why he worships him again.After all, defecting from the teacher's school and suspending the teacher's worship are both serious crimes. Let's talk about the incident in Nanhua back then, not to mention that he was an outer disciple, even if he was just a handyman.

Liu Er rubbed the corner of his clothes with one hand, not knowing how to answer.

He originally wanted to make Ruyi happy, but he neglected that he had not yet started in Ruyi's eyes.

He blamed himself secretly in his heart, he had been hiding in that kind of place for so long before being discovered, how could he reveal his secrets so easily in front of Ruyi.

Seeing his hesitation, Ruyi said again, "It's a big taboo to suspend the teacher and worship again, and I won't punish you, you go back to your teacher."

Liu Er panicked, saw that Ruyi was about to get up, grabbed Ruyi's hand, and said anxiously, "I don't ask anyone else as my teacher, I only have you, Master, trust me, Master!"

"Then where did your cultivation come from?"

"I, I learned it secretly." Liu Er's voice was as low as a mosquito.

Ruyi didn't quite believe it, "If you didn't have a teacher, how could you have the opportunity to secretly learn other people's exercises?"

Liu Er's eyes changed, but he lowered his head, so Ruyi didn't see it.He held Ruyi's hand firmly, and rubbed his whole body against her feet before muttering slowly, "Of course, there will be a price to pay."

He hates recalling the past, because there is nothing that makes him happy.But he can't lose what he has now.

Master's hand is soft and warm, it would be great if he could hold it like this all the time.Liu Er sighed inwardly, uncovering a little bit of the past that he didn't want to recall.

The place where six-eared macaques can be bred is also a treasure land in Lingshan.But there is not the monkeys' world, but the big and small goblins circle their respective territories.

I don't know when it started, but all beasts become spirits, no matter whether they do evil or not, they are called goblins, so Liu Er and the others are also goblins.

At that time, Liu Er didn't have the ambition to be king. It can even be said that he was a bit cowardly. He always stayed away from goblins fighting for territory.Even if he was provoked by a goblin while walking, no matter how strong or weak he was, he would definitely run away without slapping his ass.

With food and drink, why work so hard?Liu Er didn't understand.

But there is a saying that it is a blessing not a disaster, and a disaster cannot be avoided.

When Liu Er was hit by a white thunder on the seven orifices of Tianling Gai and bled, and almost died, he realized that those monsters who only use their claws to tear them all day long are really worthless.

Beast cultivators are often looked down upon, but almost everyone admits that refined beasts are good refining materials.Alchemy, elixir, magic weapon, formation, all in all, the spirit beast is almost full of treasures, there is nothing to waste.

If it wasn't for that sect that was only good at elixir, Liu Er would have been skinned and boned long ago.

Among the refining medicines, Xueyin is the most refined.The six-eared macaque is a spiritual species in the world, and it is this one that saved his life, unlike other fairies.

Good medicinal materials need to be used for a long time, so they must be raised in captivity, and cannot be bought and sold at once.

If an ordinary goblin fell to this point, they would probably resign themselves to their fate.But six ears don't.He was initially locked in a dim iron cage, and he could only see light and people when feeding and taking blood.So he began to pretend to be sick, sometimes dying limply, and sometimes gnawing on the cage violently, he knew that his blood was precious, and those people were reluctant to let him die.

As long as the cage was carried outside, he immediately became normal and quiet, and within half a month, he was chained and locked in the back mountain forest, surrounded by fields of elixir.

Six ears can see more people, and occasionally hear some people's names from the conversation.He began to try one by one, eavesdropping on those obscure Taoism, and secretly practicing at night when no one was paying attention.

After a long time, he also figured out the daily routine of his guards. Although the iron chains that locked him were strong, they were just ordinary things. After all, he was just an ordinary spirit beast who knew nothing.

It's not surprising that Liu Er can escape if he counts with his heart and no mind.It's just that his meager amount of mana can't take revenge at all.

Liu Er pulled up his sleeves and raised his arms to Ruyi's eyes, indicating that he was not lying.

Above his elbow, there are more than a dozen scars densely arranged, and the hair can't cover it at all.Ruyi didn't ask, but maybe there are other places.

This was totally unexpected.

In fact, many things are far darker and crueler than what Liuer encountered, but these are far away from Ruyi.If Liu Er didn't have the talent to know good and evil, I'm afraid he would be ruined.

"I have only worshiped you, Master."

Ruyi patted his head pitifully, "Well, I believe you." She didn't know that what would be uncovered would be a bloody scar, but she would not let this happen again.

Liu Er grinned, "Then, Master, do you think I've become better?"

I especially admire those seniors who are able to change daily while on duty~
