So Bajie arched the road in front, and the others followed behind.
One day passed, and more than 300 miles of deserted roads were opened.
Lin Yun originally wanted to burn this rotten persimmon first, but Bajie worked so hard to give him a chance to show off, it doesn't matter if it's just a day or two longer.
Another day later, and the next day late, several people saw an open place, and there was a stone tablet on the road, with three large characters on it, which was "thorn ridge".
There are fourteen small characters in two lines under the stone, which read "The thorns can be climbed for eight hundred miles, and there have been roads in ancient times that few people have traveled."
When Bajie saw it, he laughed and said: "The [-]-mile thorny ridge begins with Qijue Mountain, and it's only in the middle, but my old pig wants to give it fourteen words in the sky: From now on, Bajie can break through it and go straight to the west. The road is smooth!"
"Haha, you can engrave Bajie on it, it's a credit to you."
Sanzang also got off his horse and said: "Bajie, you are tired, we will stay here for tonight, and we will leave at dawn tomorrow."
After being praised, Bajie felt as if he had been beaten, and smiled uncharacteristically: "Master, I am not tired, and the weather is not bad, so why not drive west overnight!"
Since Bajie was so motivated, Tang Seng would naturally not object, and they continued on their way.
After another day and night, it was getting late again.
There is only the last section of the [-]-mile Thorn Ridge left.
But I saw that the front was shaggy and knotted, but I could smell the wind knocking on the bamboo, and the sound of rustling.
There is an open space in the middle of which is an ancient temple. Outside the temple gate, there are green pines and cypresses, and peaches and plums.
The ancient temple in front of the rock is under the cold current, and the green grass grows wildly under the stage.
Wukong looked at it and said: "This place is not good for sitting for a long time!"
Drifting asked strangely: "Brother, why do you say this? This is a deserted place, and there is no monster home. What are you afraid of?"
But as soon as he finished speaking, suddenly there was a gust of dark wind, and an old man turned out from behind the temple gate.
The old man was wearing a horn scarf and light clothes, holding a cane and wearing straw sandals. Behind him was a naked ghost with a blue face, fangs, red beard, and a plate of doughnuts on his head.
Seeing several people, he knelt down with the ghost envoy and said, "Great Sage, Shangxian, the little god is from the land of Thorn Ridge. I know that you two are here, and there is no way to receive them. I specially prepare a plate of steamed cakes and present them to my teacher and father." , invite each to a meal. This place is [-] miles away, and there is no one else, presumably the few of you have shared meals and slept in the open for many days, and now you must be hungry."
Bajie was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurried forward to get some bread to eat.
Wukong's golden eyes flashed, he knew the opponent's real body, and shouted: "Stop! This guy is not land, and a mere little monster dares to come here to deceive the old grandson! Look at the stick!"
When the old man saw that he was calling, he was already prepared. He turned around and turned into a gust of dark wind. The [-]-mile Thorny Ridge is the base camp of this monster, and here, it actually has the meaning of a formation.
The few people didn't have time to react, and with a whoosh, Tang Seng was picked up and taken away, drifting around, not knowing where he was going.
Lin Yun also had to admire these monsters, they were quite capable, and they were able to capture people under their noses.
Of course, this was also Lin Yun's deliberate indulgence. After all, if he doesn't take him away, how can it be considered a difficulty.
"Brother is not good, the master has been taken away!!!"
"Don't be so loud, my grandson saw it..."
Chapter 274 People Without Ideals Are Not Sad
But he said that the old man and the ghost envoy carried Tang Monk to a hazy stone house and put him down gently.
The old man didn't hurt him, just hand in hand with him and said: "Holy monk, don't be afraid. We are not villains, but the Eighteenth Lord of Thorn Ridge. Because the night is clear and the moon is clear, I invite you to meet with friends Poetry, pastime for the old ears."
But at this time, Lin Yun and Wu Kong had already arrived, but they hid themselves aside.
"Master, don't disturb, we are right here."
After listening to the words, Tang Seng felt relieved, and opened his eyes to look around carefully.
The scenery here is good, but it is considered a place where the misty clouds go, and the people in the Qingqing fairyland.
It just happens to clean the body and practice, and it is suitable for planting bamboo and flowers.Every time I see cranes coming to Cuiyan, I hear frogs singing in the green swamp.Even more competition Tiantai Danzao, still looking forward to Huayue Mingxia.It is said that it is very plowing the clouds and fishing for the moon, and the seclusion here can be praised.Sitting for a long time, your arms are like the sea, and the window screen is on the hazy moon.
Tang Seng watched by himself without speaking.
At this time, the night was already deep, but the moon was shining brightly, only the voice of someone talking to each other could be heard.
"Eighteen princes invited the holy monk to come here, and the holy monk was shocked!"
Lin Yun was also pleasing to the eye, but they were three old men: the first one had a frosty appearance, the second one had green temples, and the third one had a humble dark complexion.
The faces and clothes of the three people are all different, but they all came to pay respects to Tang Seng, which is completely different from ordinary monsters.
Tang Seng saw that the other party was very polite, so he returned the courtesy and said: "What kind of virtue does the poor monk have, dare to do you a favor?"
Face is mutual, the other party gives face, and Tang Seng also repays it. The main reason is that Lin Yun and Wu Kong are both there, so he doesn't panic.
Hearing this, the eighteen princes also smiled and said: "I have always heard that the holy monk has the way, and I have waited for a long time, but I am lucky to meet you today. If you don't spare jewels and jade, and sit in your arms, you can see the true school of Zen."
To translate, I just want to sit and discuss the Tao with Tang Seng.
Tang Seng's most honorable thing before learning the scriptures is the Water and Land Dharma Conference and the previous big debate. Talking about Buddhism is his favorite.
Ever since, Tang Seng bowed and said, "Dare to ask the immortal's title?"
After hearing this, the eighteen princes replied: "The one with frosty appearance is named Guzhigong, the one with green temples is named Lingkongzi, and the one with open-mindedness is named Fuyunsou. The old clumsy is called Jinjie."
Tang Seng saw that these people did not look like human cultivators, so he deliberately asked, "What is the longevity of the four old men?"
Mr. Guzhi smiled slightly and said: "I am old and have been through thousands of years, and the sky is full of leaves and springs in four seasons. The fragrant branches are lush and snake-like, and the broken shadows are heavy with frost and snow. I have been strong since I was young, and I am upright and like to cultivate. Wu Resting in the phoenix and living in the extraordinary generation, far away from the vulgar world."
Ling Kongzi smiled heartily and said: "I have been proud of the wind and frost for thousands of years, and the high-spirited spiritual branches are strong. The night is quiet and the sound is like raindrops, and the autumn is sunny and the shadows are like clouds. The root has already obtained the formula of longevity, and it is especially suitable to be ordered. Stay with the crane. Transforming a dragon is not a vulgar generation, it is bright and refreshing, and it is close to the fairyland."
The old man Fuyun smiled softly and said: "There are thousands of years to spend in the cold, and the old scene is more peaceful and quiet. It is not noisy and the dust is cold, and it has experienced frost and snow. It is romantic. The seven sages talk together as a couple, and the six escape as friends. Singing fee. Can jade knocking gold is not trivial, natural sentiment and immortality."
In the last section, Shiba Gong said with a full smile: "I have been around for more than a thousand years, and I am still chaste and beautiful. I am sorry for the power of the rain and dew, and I have borrowed the good luck of the universe. I am the only one who holds the wind and smoke in the myriad valleys, and it is scattered all the time. Let me do it. Cover Zhang Cuiying and leave the celestial guest, playing the piano and preaching books."
Sanzang thanked him and said: "The four immortals are all long-lived, but the strong man is more than a thousand years old. He has attained the Tao in his old age, and his abundance and beauty are not the four magnificences of the Han Dynasty?"
Wukong also studied chemistry for a while, but he still didn't know about Si Hao, so Lin Yun also rumored: "Great Sage, there are quite a lot of sayings about these Si Hao, most of them refer to Duke Dongyuan and Lu who lived in seclusion in Shangshan at the end of Qin Dynasty. Mr. Li, Qili Ji, and Xia Huanggong. These four people have white beards and eyebrows, so they are called Shangshan Sihao. It was the time when Emperor Gaozu of the Han Dynasty called them to be officials. Later, Zhang Liang used Zhang Liang's strategy to welcome Sihao out of the mountain to serve as the assistant prince, and Gaozu saw that the prince's wings had been formed, so he dispelled the idea of changing the prince."
"Haha, the master is messing around. Not to mention whether Si Hao is alive or not, this is not the right place."
"Master is complimenting you, Great Sage, what should we do with these four monsters? Just kill them or what should we do?"
Facing a few monsters, Lin Yun didn't want to kill them directly.
"Look first, don't worry."
The four elders were also happy when they heard this, and said: "I have accepted the award, I have accepted the award! We are not Si Hao, but Si Cao from the deep mountains. Dare I ask the holy monk, how young is he?" Tang Seng had something to say when he talked about his life experience. Seeing Tang Seng put his palms together and bowed, he said, "40 years ago, I was just born out of my mother's womb. Before I was born, the disaster has come." "So rough?"
