Chapter 197 You Are so Brave! (6k!)

Buddha Tower, third floor...

"Bang!"

There was a muffled sound, and a strange-looking monster fell to the ground with a bang.

"What is this thing?"

Chen Xi leaned down and stepped on the head of the strange-looking monster with a very strange expression.

Just now he was still looking at the murals and the herbs in the prison, but he didn't expect that a little monster came to die.

I think it is the guardian of the third floor of the Buddha Tower, but this appearance is really strange.

The skinny body, holding a long spear, with a blood-red Ganoderma on the head.

At first glance, I thought it was a monster wearing a bamboo hat.

Looking closely, I suddenly found that the Ganoderma was the head of this guy.

Chen Xi was curious, so his eyes were full of glass light.

Under the sky eye, this Ganoderma monster has nowhere to hide.

Nine-leaf Ganoderma spirit!

Under the deep forest and pine trees, between the beautiful mountains and clear waters.

Wine is made into medicinal treasures, and the wine is red.

"It turns out to be a monster that has become a spirit of Ganoderma lucidum."

Chen Xi understood and vaguely felt that there seemed to be some dragon energy on it.

Obviously, this is another guy who has gained Taoism because of the little white dragon's gem.

Chen Xi looked around the cells thoughtfully.

The Ganoderma lucidum planted on the monster in the cell is similar to this nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum.

It's just that the Ganoderma lucidum in the cell seems to be immature.

"This is a good thing, born from dragon energy, and it's very nutritious to eat!"

As they got closer to the top of the tower, the Dragon King became more and more active, and now he even spoke to himself, which was no different from before.

After hearing this, Chen Xi immediately pinched the neck of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum spirit and exerted a little force.

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the blood-red Ganoderma lucidum head of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum spirit was pulled off by Chen Xi.

"Don't worry..."

"I just took a look with my clairvoyance. This thing is a good wine-making material."

"When the matter here is over, maybe we can ask the monkey to help us process it."

Chen Xi said to the dragon head on his neck, and then he carried the nine-leaf Ganoderma on his back.

Until this moment, he suddenly missed the Toad Spirit again.

If the Toad Spirit was here, he would not let him carry a lot of things with him.

That guy has a lot of things in his belly. Whenever he travels, he will have a lot of food and money in his stomach.

Chen Xi shook his head. It seems that he has to find an opportunity to find a method of storing things in the Ruyi Book.

If he remembers correctly, Hu Tian in the 72 Disha Techniques is such a magical method.

If he had Hu Tian, ​​he would not have to go through so much trouble.

Fortunately, Chen Xi had four heads and eight arms and could hold a lot of things in his hands. Otherwise, he would not know where to put the money on the road...

"Buddha, I found the entrance to the fourth floor."

The bone girl had been paying attention to the entrance to the fourth floor while Chen Xi was thinking.

Now that she found it, she immediately called Chen Xi.

"There is nothing strange on this floor."

"Let's go, we have to be quick."

"With such a big commotion, I suspect that Kuimulang may have rushed here."

Chen Xi stopped thinking about it and walked over immediately when he saw the entrance to the fourth floor.

The bone girl waved the jade ruyi and chanted a spell, and the door opened in response.

This time, Chen Xi learned to be smart.

In order to save time and not be harassed by the monsters in the tower.

Chen Xi asked the bone girl to use the jade ruyi to hide their figures in advance, and then he entered the fourth floor.

"Boom boom boom"

When they stepped into the fourth floor, the pagoda suddenly turned.

The sky and the earth spun, and they felt dizzy.

Chen Xi had prepared in advance and grabbed the bone girl, so the pagoda did not separate them.

The Vairocana Five Buddha Crown emitted a faint light.

Chen Xi's dizziness was relieved and he quickly came to his senses.

"Hey, hey, work harder!"

The shouts came over.

Chen Xi and the bone girl looked in the direction of the sound and took a closer look.

There were monks everywhere.

These monks were skinny, but they had a lot of strength!

They had chains wrapped around their hands and stones tied to the other end.

These monks pulled the stones to repair the pagoda.

Seeing this, Chen Xi said nothing and quietly activated his divine eyes.

Supporting monks!

There is no place to use the strength, just lift the big stone.

I was so eager to repay the Buddha's kindness, but I lost my skin and flesh.

Fortunately, Chen Xi and the bone girl had hidden their bodies in advance.

Otherwise, with the number of ghosts on this floor, they would definitely be upset.

"Buddha, look..."

The bone girl seemed to have seen something and whispered immediately.

Chen Xi heard it and looked in the direction of her gaze.

He saw that on the wall of this floor of the pagoda, there were many dense Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures engraved.

"What is this?"

Chen Xi immediately became interested. He never thought that there were Buddhist scriptures here.

He relied on his hidden body and simply swaggered through a group of monks who were doing hard labor and came to the wall of the pagoda.

Chen Xi had never learned any Sanskrit scriptures, and had never read any Buddhist scriptures except the Heart Sutra.

However, perhaps because of breaking the precepts of Buddhism, or because of his excellent wisdom, he learned all these things without a teacher.

It was naturally a piece of cake to want to identify these engravings.

Chen Xi looked at it, but the more he looked, the more disappointed he became.

The seal engraving on the wall of the pagoda was not a Buddhist scripture containing great wisdom, such as the Heart Sutra of the Mahāprajnaparamita.

The Sanskrit Buddhist scriptures engraved on it were merely something used for praising and singing.

The general meaning seems to be that the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty in the East wanted to go to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and passed through this place to slay demons.

Save all the people from fire and water, and bring the princess back in perfect condition.

The merit is immeasurable, and I will enjoy the incense and offerings day and night.

However, the praises carved on the wall only say so much about the pilgrims of the Eastern Tang Dynasty.

Most of the rest are praising Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The scriptures on the wall describe in detail that after the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty left, a wolf attack broke out here, causing heavy casualties among the people.

Later, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared and gave a jewel, which temporarily calmed down the wolf problem.

Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened them to know how to be grateful, recite the Buddha's name and believe in the Buddha, so that they can avoid disasters.

So, they built this pagoda.

People all over the city, day and night, worship Guanyin Bodhisattva and the eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty.

The supporting monks on this level are the craftsmen who in the past were willing to shave their heads and enter the stupa to work as hard laborers to repair the stupa out of gratitude to the Bodhisattva for saving the suffering.

When Chen Yi saw this, he felt a little confused.

"Weird..."

"According to the scriptures on the wall of this pagoda, these supporting monks were willing to shave their heads and enter the pagoda before they were alive."

"Then why now, after these guys died, their grievances are still lingering, and they seem to have some deep hatred."

Chen Yi took advantage of the situation and looked at the supporting monks who were acting as coolies.

These supporting monks have faces full of bitterness and deep hatred.

One by one, they dragged stones and built cells.

From time to time, a few words of vague complaints would pop out of their mouths.

"I'm tired and hungry, so miserable..."

"Those officials, when are you going to serve dinner?"

"I regret it so much. I shouldn't be doing this hard labor. It's very different from going to jail."

And every time at this time, there will be familiar hawks, dogs and ghosts, whipping them.

"Put some rice in!"

"If you don't repair the Buddhist temple, you will be the food of the old men!"

This feeling and scene repeats itself over and over again.

They seem to be like those resentful ghosts, always repeating their behavior in life.

"Buddhist temple?"

Chen Ye chewed on the words and suddenly became curious.

At this moment, the supporting monk seemed to be tired from hunger and fell to the ground, unable to get up again.

At this time, the eagle and dog ghost will crack his whip and order the monks to carry the fallen support monk into the cell he repaired himself.

A stone lotus platform had been prepared in the cell, and there was a thick and long iron pestle standing on it.

The monks carried the exhausted support monk and, ignoring his pleas, stuck him firmly on the iron pestle so that he could sit on the lotus platform without falling down.

This scene made Chen Ye's eyelids jump.

And that's not all yet!

After the supporting monk sits on the lotus platform and dies in pain, he will be poured with gold paint to form a golden Buddha statue, which will be kowtowed and worshiped by these ghosts.

This situation and scene are almost the same as the Buddha incarnate that Chen Hao knew.

Chen Ye looked around and realized that the cells on this floor were filled with such fleshly Buddhas.

It is really sad that these fleshly Buddhas worked as hard labor and built prison cells during their lifetime, and then became Buddhas after death and lived in the prison cells they built.

Compared with those serious Buddha statues, every face of these fleshly Buddhas cast by living people is extremely ferocious and painful, as if they are screaming.

On the lotus platform under them, there are lines of small characters engraved on them, which describe the merits and virtues of each physical Buddha in detail.

During the Baoxiang Kingdom, he encountered a wolf attack and was trapped in a pagoda. His food and water were exhausted. He used his body to feed people. He was liberated and sat down. His merits are immeasurable.

The eminent monk Hui Yuan died from fatigue while repairing the pagoda. Everyone ate him for three days, and eleven important ministers and princes survived.

The eminent monk Huike died of hunger while repairing the pagoda. Everyone ate him for two days and nine important ministers and princes survived.

Line after line of seal carving is shocking.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and looked attentively.

But when I saw these golden Buddha statues, resentful ghosts were imprisoned inside them, and they were full of wailing and shouting sounds.

They are trapped by the golden paint and cannot be liberated or transcended.

In this situation, Chen Ye only saw two words... cannibalism!

"Is this the so-called 'Buddha Temple'?"

Chen Ye's face turned gloomy, his eyes full of disgust.

Unexpectedly, a wolf attack caused the dignitaries trapped in the pagoda to do such a heartless thing.

The monks were worked hard and forced to build pagodas.

Even after death, he will not let go of it, eat it dry, wipe it clean, and pour it into it to become a Buddha.

I even want to reuse it and make some incense money.

Chen Ye took a deep breath and forcibly extinguished the anger in his heart.

Everything in front of me is just a reappearance of scenes affected by resentment.

No matter how much he hates this kind of behavior, it doesn't help.

After all, these ghosts are just repeating their behavior in life.

"Let's go and find the entrance to the fifth floor."

Chen Yi shook his head, unwilling to stay here any longer.

Only the physical Buddha in this place is quite strange, and there is nothing else worth taking action on.

In this case, there is no need to waste time here.

Compared with the previous floors, the doors on this floor are not hidden.

In just a moment, Chen Ye and Gu Nu found themselves approaching.

"As you wish, according to my will, the spirit will appear quickly..."

In order to prevent the bone girl from opening the door, the monks would come and cause trouble.

Ever since, she chanted the incantation.

A stone wall rose up, making it difficult for the monks to approach.

Chen Yi took the opportunity to swing the nine-ringed tin stick and forcefully opened the door. As the door was opened, Chen Ye suddenly became restless.

He had a dragon's head on his neck, grinning widely, and looking excited.

"It's close, it's close!"

"Longzi, hurry up, faster!"

Long Jun seemed to feel the pearl, and he was impatient and wanted to fly over directly.

"Shut up, be quiet now!"

Chen Xi was affected by it, his face was unhappy, and he scolded in a low voice.

This scene made the bone girl, who could not hear Long Jun's voice, look quite strange.

"Hey, Master Buddha, the door is open."

Seeing that the supporting monks were about to rush over, the bone girl hurriedly reminded Chen Xi.

And at this moment, a fierce cold wind blew down from the fifth floor along the opened stone door.

The strong cold even made the surrounding brick walls quickly covered with a layer of frost.

But then another hot wind alternately gushed out, melting all the frost, making people's skin burn painfully.

"Follow closely!"

Chen Xi took a step and said nothing nonsense.

This little bit of cold and hot wind was nothing to him.

The bone girl is not a flesh and blood body, but a creature born after death, so she is naturally not afraid of cold or heat.

She followed Chen Xi's steps and stepped into the fifth floor.

As soon as she entered the fifth floor, she saw two roads stretching upwards.

One road was covered with biting frost and gusts of cold wind.

The other road was covered with hot yellow sand and howling hot wind.

When the bone girl saw this scene, her eyes lit up and her thoughts suddenly became active.

"This floor looks a bit like the place mentioned by the little slut..."

And just at the moment when the thought came to the bone girl's mind!

He caught it with his telepathy!

Chen Xi glanced at the bone girl without leaving a trace, and remembered the conspiracy between the bone girl and the fox girl that night.

Could it be that the so-called twin flowers bloomed on this floor?

Sure enough!

The bone girl seemed to have confirmed something, and immediately spoke at the right time.

"Master Buddha, the road here is divided into two ends, and there seem to be many forks in it. It looks like a maze in the tower."

"We still don't know where the entrance to the upper level is. The consequences of forcing it in are unpredictable, and it will take a lot of time for two people to go together.

"Why don't we each choose a road, and if we find the entrance to the upper level, we can use the jade ruyi to inform the other party?"

Chen Xi had expected it, and his expression did not change.

He nodded slightly, with a little praise in his tone.

"You are thoughtful, then I will do as you say."

The bone girl was delighted, and immediately took out the jade ruyi and chanted a spell.

A ball of light flew out and turned into two shriveled bodhi seeds, which fell into the hands of both parties.

"Master Buddha, if you find the exit, you can crush this thing, and then the other party will feel it."

Chen Xi fiddled with the bodhi seeds, nodded, and put them away.

"Please choose first, Master Buddha. "

The bone girl spoke respectfully, bowing her head in humility.

Chen Xi did not hesitate, and immediately chose the yellow sand road and walked into it.

The bone girl watched Chen Xi go away, and then she felt relieved and turned to the frost road.

...

Chen Xi suddenly stopped on the yellow sand road.

The tip of his nose moved slightly, and he threw away the bodhi seeds, and turned to follow the scent of the bone girl to return.

Since the bone girl is willing to propose to go separately, she must have something to rely on and be able to find the twin flowers.

Instead of walking around blindly, it is better to follow closely and see what tricks the other party is playing...

Big About half an incense stick later.

Chen Xi followed the bone girl, but he didn't get too close to avoid being discovered.

With his clairvoyance, it was easy for him to stare at the bone girl from a distance.

At this time, the bone girl had no idea about this.

She walked on the frost road, and from time to time there were ghosts blocking her way.

These ghosts were covered with frost, holding a sickle, and laughing from time to time.

Frozen hungry ghosts!

If there are ghosts on the frost road, their bellies will bulge and their necks will grow hair.

They are fierce, slanderous and cunning, and you are afraid of my ugly appearance.

The bone girl was not as indifferent as when she was with Chen Xi before. The appearance of a waste.

She faced these frozen hungry ghosts calmly, muttering something.

When the jade ruyi was shaken, the frozen hungry ghosts that blocked the road were blown into pieces all over the ground.

The bone girl did not stop, bypassing the icicles, passing through the snow and fog, and even going straight through the glacier.

In just a cup of tea, she walked very far, and the scenery ahead could be vaguely seen changing.

Chen Xi narrowed his eyes, and the divine foot followed closely behind.

He did not take shortcuts, but only took the path that the bone girl had taken.

It was obvious that the bone girl was hiding something, a key that he did not know.

If Chen Xi really believed the bone girl foolishly, According to the words of the woman, he might still be wandering in the maze after he took the flowers and found the exit.

At that time, the bone woman would find the exit first and then notify Chen Xi.

He could only swallow this loss in silence, and even thank the bone woman.

The bone woman gradually went deeper into the frost road, and soon a tomb suddenly appeared in front of her.

On the tomb, there grew two-color flowers, one black and one white, intertwined with each other.

Seeing this scene, the bone woman couldn't help but speed up her pace, secretly delighted in her heart.

"I didn't expect it to be so smooth..."

"It's all thanks to the Buddha, the Bodhisattva is really as good as a god."

"Now that I have this thing, I have broken the plan of Kuimu Lang, and I will go back and present it to the Bodhisattva."

"This time I have done a good job, and I will definitely not let down the Bodhisattva's appreciation! "

As the bone girl approached quickly, a line of words gradually became clear on the tombstone beside the grave.

The Tomb of My Beloved Wife Baihuaxiu, a few large vermilion characters, suddenly came into view.

Seeing this, the bone girl was slightly startled.

The Bodhisattva seemed to have mentioned that the crazy woman Baihuasha in Baoxiang country was Baihuaxiu's predecessor.

Unexpectedly, the place where the twin flowers grew was the tomb of Baihuaxiu.

The bone girl suppressed her thoughts and stretched out her hand towards the tomb.

"Bang!"

A wisp of green smoke rose from the bone girl's palm.

The bone girl pulled back her palm in pain, and her true form was revealed on the spot, turning into a white skeleton.

She looked up and found that there was a glass cover on the tomb.

There were faint stars flickering on it.

"Humph, a trivial trick..."

The bone girl raised her head, and such means could not stop her.

She shook the jade ruyi and repeatedly lit up the many star patterns on the glass cover.

In an instant, a star map was outlined.

The jade ruyi took advantage of the situation and touched the Kui star of the twenty-eight constellations, and the glass cover immediately shattered.

For a moment, the scent of the twin flowers slowly drifted out.

The bone girl felt this breath and felt familiar, and she was slightly stunned.

But she quickly came to her senses and reached out to pinch off the stem of the twin flowers and take away this extremely important elixir material for Kuimu Lang.

Suddenly!

Something changed!

A strong hand, as white as jade, suddenly stretched out from the side and took the twin flowers first.

The sudden change made the bone girl stunned on the spot.

The bone girl came to her senses and quickly turned her head.

She saw Chen Xi standing beside her without knowing when, gently twisting the twin flowers in his hand and looking at them carefully.

"Black and white twins, one yin and one yang, I didn't expect there is such a strange plant, it's really amazing."

"Bone girl, you are so brave..."

"Tell me, why did you go to such great lengths to get me out of the way and take this flower?"

When Chen Xi finished speaking, Bone Girl's thoughts were in a mess.

After spending some time together, Bone Girl had a general understanding of Chen Xi's personality.

Now what she did was already a big taboo!

If she said that Chen Xi would let her go, Bone Girl herself would not believe it.

For a moment, Bone Girl's eyes flickered with ghost fire.

And just when she was struggling whether to tell a lie to get away, or to commit suicide to repay the great kindness of the Bodhisattva...

Chen Xi seemed to feel something, and suddenly raised his head and looked in a certain direction.

In an instant!

A sharp knife light, full of murderous and evil spirits, broke through the air!

The surroundings were filled with ghosts and wolves howling...

Chen Xi raised his Zen staff without hesitation, and the nine rings rang out, and the rings rang out!

Break all laws!

The knife light shattered, and the ghosts and wolves howled.

"How dare you!"

"You two little thieves actually ran into someone's house to steal, and killed my gatekeeper and beloved minister, ruining my husband's elixir..."

"Do you think my Baoxiang Kingdom is easy to bully?"

A cold and murderous voice came over.

Chen Xi and the bone girl looked forward.

I saw a woman in armor and a red robe, who looked very heroic, slowly walking out of the snow and fog.

An indescribable murderous aura enveloped the surroundings, making it difficult to breathe.

Every step the woman took, there would be a sound of golden swords and iron horses colliding and fighting around.

In a trance, this place seemed to have turned into a battlefield.

There is no doubt that this is a big demon!

Chen Xi's eyes narrowed slightly, and he stuffed the twin flowers into his arms.

He picked up the bone girl and grabbed her spine to prevent her from escaping.

The bone girl's desire to escape was extinguished immediately.

This action made the heroic woman opposite her utter a loud "tsk".

She had a beautiful face, which looked too white, and a purple mark on her neck was very eye-catching.

She also held a figure in her hand...

The figure looked bruised and swollen, but it made Chen Xi look very familiar.

"Shen Hou..."

Chen Xi's eyes moved slightly, and he was surprised.

How did this guy get caught again?

How can he survive to this day as a thief like this?

Chen Xi said nothing, holding the nine-ring tin staff tightly, staring at the heroic woman, his thoughts turning quickly.

Looking at Baoxiang Country, there seems to be no one else who can have such ability except the Hundred Flowers Killer.

Unexpectedly, in addition to Kuimu Lang, Baihua Sha is also a big demon!

Chen Xi knew very well that it was nothing but a foolish dream for him to quickly kill a big demon.

And once he was dragged by it, he might provoke Kuimu Lang.

At that time, he would have to face two big demons at the same time in someone else's home court, and one of them was a former star king!

No matter from which angle you look at it, the chances of winning can only be described as slim.

Seeing Chen Xi silent, Baihua Sha picked up Shen Hou and shook it casually.

Shen Hou was almost shaken, and one of his souls almost left his body and the other souls ascended to heaven.

Chen Xi couldn't bear to look at his embarrassed appearance.

"Your companion is loyal and righteous. After being tortured by me, he still refused to confess and just said nonsense to delay time."

"You thief, if you don't want this guy to die, then surrender as soon as possible."

"If you hand over the elixir of your husband, your crime can be redeemed, or you can be spared from death..."

ps: I recommend a book written by a friend about the theme of Journey to the West. Interested readers can take a look.
