[088] The mysterious Wuchao Zen master
Looking at the cheerful little look of the phoenix bird, Tang Seng said again: "But, Xiaohuang, you will be my demon pet from now on, are you willing?"
Phoenix thought for a while and said, "The elder is a person who can follow me. I am willing to follow the elder and be the elder's demon pet, and protect the elders all the way west." At the same time, I thought to myself: If he treats me badly, I have wings, so where can't I go?
"Ding~~Congratulations, I have successfully conquered the mutant phoenix bird spirit, please name her."
Hearing the sound in his mind, Tang Seng couldn't help but smile and said, "Xiaohuang, will I call you Xiaohuangxing in the future?"
"Okay, I'll listen to the elders." The phoenix nodded his head and said, "They're talking."
"Ding~~Congratulations, you have successfully named the mutant Phoenix Bird Spirit and obtained a merit value of 100,000. At the same time, you can obtain the task "The Secret of the Pure Phoenix Body", and the task reward is ominous; the task needs to ensure the safety of the mutant Phoenix Bird Spirit and find the secrets of the Phoenix Family and the Pure Phoenix Body."
After receiving such news, Tang Seng was stunned. He spent 2 million merit values to conquer Wukong, spent 100,000 merit values to collect Xiaobailong, and spent 200,000 merit values to collect Bajie for his disciples, which made his merit value negative. It is said that when the merit value is too much, it will cause heavenly tribulation. Tang Seng was still a little worried. Now, the submission of the mutant phoenix bird spirit will not only not deduct merit, but also added 100,000 merits to himself, making his merit value return to the positive number.
Tang Monk was just a little happy and returned to normal. Because the loss of a man's horse was a blessing, the cost of two million merits to conquer Wukong does not mean that this is a bad thing. It can be seen from the protection that Wukong brought to Tang Monk later; and similarly, the 100,000 merits obtained by conquering the phoenix bird now may not be a good thing. Maybe the subsequent task of "The Secret of the Pure Phoenix Body" will bring Tang Monk to how much trouble it will bring to Tang Monk.
Of course, this is just Tang Seng’s guess.
For a gorgeous demon pet like Phoenix, Tang Monk was inconvenient to keep it with him all the time, and said, "Xiaohuang, I have a secret realm of cultivation that can greatly increase your cultivation speed. Although you have not yet changed into a human form, it is also good to be able to change into a human form after practicing in a secret realm for a period of time. What do you think?"
"What's the best thing about human form?" Xiaohuang muttered, but said: "Well, it's good to increase my cultivation level. I don't know where that secret realm is?"
Tang Monk smiled and said, "I'll take you in." After that, he wrapped it with his mind and teleported it into the secret realm. In the secret realm, Yuxian and Yu'an little princess planted flowers, Lianjian's Lianjian didn't seem boring. Their cultivation skills also improved a lot. In particular, Yu'an little princess, with her body as a mortal, embarked on a path of cultivating immortals and practicing Taoism, and she was not slow on this road. Now she has broken through the fasting stage and entered the Dan Killing stage. Since she entered the Tao with martial arts, she is more powerful than other cultivators of the same level.
After fasting, Princess Yu'an lost a bit of earthly vulgarity and a little colder, adding a bit of fairy aura. Every frown and smile, and every move exuded a pure and unworldly aura, which made Tang Monk feel quite pleasing to the eyes and fascinated.
In just a few months, Jade Immortal has improved from more than 700 years of cultivation to more than 900 years of cultivation. It can be seen that in the secret realm, the speed of cultivation is ten times more than that of ordinary cultivation places. However, Tang Seng is not ready to release these two little beauties, one is because their cultivation needs to continue to cultivate, and the second is because he, a monk, should not bring two beauties like peerless beauties.
Now, Tang Monk sent the Phoenix to the Secret Realm again, first, so that the Phoenix's cultivation can be further improved, and second, it can add a partner to Yuxian and Yu'an.
When the phoenix bird entered the secret realm, he couldn't help but feel dazed when he saw the two girls of Yuxian and Yu'an, he said to Tang Seng: "They..."
Tang Seng laughed and said, "They are two people who practice the truth, and they are also practicing in the secret realm."
Phoenix said, "Are they all humans?"
Tang Seng smiled and said, "One is a little woman and the other is a little fairy."
The Phoenix nodded and said, "I just said, why did I feel a demonic aura?" He paused and said, "What kind of demon is that demon? Why did he become so beautiful?"
Tang Monk laughed and said, "The lover among flowers, the rose of jade."
"Oh, it turns out to be a rose demon." The Phoenix Bird Monster said: "Then will I be as beautiful as her after I practice into a human form?"
"Uh, how do I know this?" Tang Seng laughed and said, "But she is the Jade Rose, you are the pure phoenix body. Both are peerless and strange. Maybe after you practice into a human form, you will be more beautiful than her!" At the same time, he said in his heart: Of course, it may also be extremely terrifying and hideous.
"Oh, that's good!" The Phoenix suddenly said firmly: "I also want to practice into a human form."
Tang Monk said lightly: "You make the decision on your business!" Then, Tang Monk introduced the Phoenix to the two girls Yuxian and Yu'an to become partners. With the help of Tang Monk, the Phoenix became Yu'an's mount, allowing Yu'an to enjoy the feeling of flying in the world. Since then, the Phoenix has become Princess Yu'an's mount, and has practiced together, flew together, and done many things for Tang Monk, which has won the reputation of a fairy. However, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for now.
Tang Monk handled the matter of Phoenix Bird, so he rode a white dragon horse and continued to travel west with Wukong and Bajie's two disciples. During this time, Gao Cuilan, a beautiful country beauty, did not appear, and Bajie did not mention Gao Cuilan halfway. Tang Monk thought, maybe it was because of the variable Phoenix Bird that Bajie had no time and opportunity to be the son-in-law of Gao Laozhuang.
And that country beauty, Miss Gao Cuilan, may have another life for her. I wonder if she will be robbed by the robber. At that time, there will be no passing hero played by Bajie to save her! Haha, no matter what, Gao Cuilan has lost the entanglement of Bajie, which should be considered good. Tang Seng hopes that she will recruit a good son-in-law, live a peaceful life and live happily.
After leaving Gaojiazhuang, Tang Monk and his disciples continued to travel west with one horse. They walked safely for nearly a month, passed the Us Tibetan Realm, and looked up and saw a mountain.
Tang Monk stopped the whip and pulled the horse and said, "Wukong, Wuneng, the mountain ahead is high, I don't know what monster is there."
Bajie said: "It's okay. This mountain is called Futu Mountain. There is a Zen Master Wuchao in the mountain. He practiced here, and the old pig had also met him."
Tang Monk's heart moved and said, "Zen Master Wuchao? Haha... what are his abilities?"
Bajie said, "He has some practices. He once advised me to practice with him, but I have never been there."
Tang Monk nodded and said lightly: "Then let's go and visit this Zen Master Wuchao."
Several people continued to move forward and entered the Futu Mountain. The scenery of Futu Mountain was very beautiful and elegant. There were green pines and green cypresses in the south of the mountain, and green willows and peaches in the north of the mountain. They were noisy and rumbling, and the mountain birds were talking together; they danced gracefully, and the cranes flew together. The fragrance was fragrant and the flowers were colorful. There were green waters under the stream, and there were auspicious clouds in front of the cliff. Such beautiful scenery made Tang Monk feel very pleasing to the eye. He thought that if there were no great gods and immortals practicing Taoism in this mountain, there would be the demon with high magic power to occupy the mountain as the king. I don’t know what the identity of the Zen Master Wuchao was.
After another trip, Tang Monk saw a huge ancient cypress tree from a distance, a nest of firewood and grass. On the left is an elk carrying flowers, and on the right is a mountain monkey offering fruits. At the top of the tree, there are green phoenixes and colorful phoenixes and roosters and salty cranes and pheasants gathered.
Bajie pointed there and said, "Isn't that the Zen Master Wuchao?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Seng ran quickly to the Wuchao Zen Master with his disciples, and the Wuchao Zen Master was also sitting in the huge firewood nest, waiting with a smile, as if waiting for them specifically.
But when the Zen Master Wuchao saw his three groups coming, he jumped off the tree even after leaving the nest. Tang Monk dismounted and worshiped, the Zen Master helped him with his hands: "Saint Monk, please get up, lose welcome, lose welcome."
Tang Seng was stunned. How could this Zen Master Wuchao recognize me?
Bajie said: "Old Zen Master, bow."
Zen Master Wuchao asked in surprise: "You are the pig Gangli, Fuling Mountain. How could you have such a great fate and have to walk with the holy monk?"
Bajie said: "I was advised by Guanyin Bodhisattva two years ago and I wish to be a disciple."
Zen Master Wuchao was overjoyed and said, "Okay, okay, okay!" He also appointed Wukong and asked, "Who is this person?"
Wukong smiled and said, "How come you, the old Zen master, recognize that idiot, and don't you recognize me?"
Zen Master Wuchao laughed and said, "Because there are too few things to see."
Tang Seng smiled and said, "He is my eldest disciple Sun Wukong."
Zen Master Wuchao smiled and said, "I owe gifts, I owe gifts."
Tang Monk bowed again and said, "I don't know what kind of teaching does Zen Master Wuchao wait for me here?"
Zen Master Wuchao smiled and said, "How do you know I am waiting for you here? But I am really waiting for you here." Seeing Tang Seng looking at him with a smile, Zen Master Wuchao said, "I am waiting for you here to encourage you. Although the journey to the West is still far away, it will eventually reach the end, but the demonic obstacles are hard to eliminate. In view of this, I will send you a volume of "Duxin Sutra", which consists of fifty-four sentences, totaling 270 words. If you encounter a place where the demonic miasma is, you will not be harmed if you recite this sutra."
Tang Seng thanked him, "Thank you, Zen Master." Then he heard the Zen Master recite it and then recited it again. Tang Seng recited it again and remembered it clearly.
After the Zen master passed it on, he said, "You can recite more in the future. In addition, you must also use the great secret realm of joy and do not let it become a decoration."
When Tang Seng heard this, he was shocked. Why did this old Zen master know that I had a great secret realm of joy? Thinking of this, Tang Seng wanted to ask clearly, but he saw that the old Zen master had already flew into the firewood nest on the big tree. Tang Seng reached out to grab it, but couldn't catch the old guy at all. Tang Seng was so anxious that he waved his hand and shouted: "Hey, old Zen master, wait, I haven't finished asking any more!"
However, Zen Master Wuchao ignored Tang Seng and went straight back to his nest, but his voice came from the air:
"Thousands of mountains and rivers are deep, and there are many miasma and demons.
If you encounter Zhitian Cliff, don’t worry or be terrified.
Walking on the Moer Rock, walking sideways.
Carefully in the black pine forest, the demon foxes cut the way.
The elves are everywhere in the country, and the demon lord lives in the mountains.
The tiger sits in the piano hall, and the wolf is the chief clerk.
All lions and elephants are kings, while all tigers and leopards are kings.
Wild boars carry loads and encounter water monsters first.
The old stone monkey is angry.
If you ask who knows, he knows the way to the west.”
Seeing Tang Monk so anxious, Wukong said, "Master, don't ask him anymore. Let's watch while walking, what are you asking others for?" After that, he was still angry and raised his golden cudgel and was about to stab the Wuchao where Zen Master Wuchao was sitting down. However, he suddenly saw thousands of auspicious clouds and thousands of lotus flowers arose outside the Wuchao, protecting the firewood nest of Zen Master Wuchao. Even though Wukong had the power to stir up the sea and the river, he could not break a broken vine in Wuchao.
Seeing this, Tang Monk quickly stopped Wukong's behavior and said, "Wukong, don't do anything nonsense. This Zen Master Wuchao is the supreme god and Buddha. Your golden cudgel is not his opponent!" As he said that, he looked at the auspicious clouds and a chaotic place wrapped in lotus flowers. He became more and more curious about the identity of Zen Master Wuchao.
