Volume 1: Journey to the West Chapter 81: Hundred Thousand Mountains Blocking Lingshan (Part 4)

Let us say that the first big mountain in Xiniuhezhou is Mount Xumi in Tianzhu Kingdom. It is surrounded by three thousand yojanas (one yojana = forty miles) and is tens of thousands of feet high, second only to Kunlun. Thousands of miles to the west from Mount Sumeru is Lingshan. The Bodhisattva guarding the mountain is called Lingji Bodhisattva. He is a great sage who was ordered by the Buddha to build Mount Sumeru. The Buddha promised him that Maitreya Buddha would be enthroned as a great treasure on Mount Sumeru in the future, and Lingji Bodhisattva would be the future Buddha of Lingji.

Zhu Ganglie ordered Jingwei to move the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the border of Tianzhu, which had already fallen into the eyes of Lingji Bodhisattva. When the Bodhisattva saw that the Hundred Thousand Mountains surrounded the west so tightly that even birds could not fly in, he could not help but turn purple with anger. , when he was about to challenge him, he thought he was no match for Zhu Ganglie and the six-eared macaque, so he ordered someone to guard the mountain gate and set off to Lingshan Mountain to seek instructions from the Buddha.

As soon as he left, the Bull Demon King and others followed him in behind. The old cow saw Red Boy when he was in Zimu River, and received Zhu Ganglie's instructions to let the nine-headed insect keep a close eye on Mount Sumeru. Lingji Bodhisattva had already fallen into the eyes of the nine-headed insect. As soon as he left, the old cow transformed into the appearance of Lingji Bodhisattva and appeared in the Daughter's Kingdom. The entire Daughter's Kingdom came to pay homage to the Bodhisattva. Lao Niu arrogantly used his magic to take away the Fei Quan and arrived at Mount Sumeru. None of the Vajras guarding the mountain could see his true face and allowed him to walk into the mountain.

The Bull Demon King planted the birth spring on the top of the mountain and sneaked out. When the millions of women in the daughter country saw that Lingji Bodhisattva had snatched the spring of birth, they had already cried and begged Immortal Ruyi to take back the spring of birth. Ruyi Zhenxian, with awe-inspiring righteousness, took Sha Wujing, the male cockroach and the nine-headed insect to Mount Sumeru and had a melee with King Kong who guarded the mountain, regardless of victory or defeat.

The Vajras fought with these monsters inexplicably, and they were puzzled, thinking that these monsters were trying to grab the top of the mountain, so they fought even harder.

Ruyi Zhenxian and others had already received Zhu Ganglie's instructions. They only shouted to attack with heavy thunder and light rain, which made the noise known to passers-by, but actually did not use their full strength. Just waiting for Zhu Ganglie to complete the arrangements and gather a hundred thousand old demons to gather on Mount Xumi.

There are many demons in Xiniu Hezhou. If it weren't for Zhu Ganglie's troubles, these old demons would have been unknown until they died of old age. At this moment, Zhu Ganglie snatched them away from the top of the mountain. The demon kings, emperors, and saints couldn't bear it anymore, and they gathered together, gradually forming Like a torrent, it goes to the west. But I saw monster clouds rolling over the entire Xiniu Hezhou, covering the sky and the earth. Countless old monsters were calling their friends, preparing to march to the west.

These old demons gradually condensed into three forces. One is the Taoist monsters headed by King Qingniu Si, Old Demon Huanglong and Jiuling Yuan Sheng. These monsters are often mounts of gods. Either due to negligence or intentional indulgence, they become demons in the lower world. .

The second group is the Western Buddhist monsters headed by the Yellow-browed Old Buddha, the Green-haired Lion Monster and the Long-nosed White Elephant. Most of these monsters are Western Buddhist Dharma Protectors, Vajras, and Ming Kings. Some of them are related to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and are also known as The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas indulged themselves and turned into demons in the lower world. They either caused disasters with Tang Monk, or deliberately caused them to cause harm to the world, and then went to Lingshan to conquer them in order to enhance their reputation in the world and develop the power of Buddhism.

The third force is the scattered monsters headed by the three brothers Bihan, Bishu, and Bichen and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King. This type of monsters often have neither high nor low magical powers and specializes in cultivation, but they should not be underestimated because they have the largest number. . There are countless ancient giant monsters in Xiniu Hezhou, but these guys are lazy and indifferent by nature. When the blue luan bird moves the mountain, they don't move at all. They hide in the cave and sleep, letting her capture the mountain. .

When these three forces came together, there were inevitable disputes. There was a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. The blood flowed like a river, and even half of the journey was not completed in a month. The leaders of the demon clan said worriedly: "Now that we can't reach Tianzhu Kingdom, I'm afraid we will kill each other and die." The ten leaders gathered together to discuss and said: "There is no rule without rules. Let's make a rule and then go to the west to find it." That pig demon is unlucky!”

The ten people discussed for a day and finally came up with the regulations. Fighting with weapons was strictly prohibited on the Western Road. Fighting was allowed, but magic weapons could not be used, otherwise they would be killed immediately.

After killing several knowing monsters, all the demons were frightened, and then they calmed down and headed towards the west. There were so many of these old demons, and they were all big eaters. Wherever they passed, there were no humans or animals, no grass grew, and even the river water was drunk.

What is lacking in the western part of Xiniu Hezhou is fresh water. There have been years of drought. Monsters with high cultivation levels are naturally not affected. Those with low cultivation levels are still forced to dig hundreds of meters in the ground to find water sources.

The weather was getting hotter that day, and all the old monsters stopped riding clouds and hid in the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness and avoid the sun. Suddenly, there was only a thunderclap, and the sky was clear. In the blink of an eye, a dark cloud flew over and stopped above the heads of the demons. The thunderbolts flashed and it started to rain.

One hundred thousand old demons all shouted: "Good rain, good rain!" They opened their big mouths to catch the rainwater. King Qingniu Si and other old demons saw it. Although they thought the heavy rain was strange, they couldn't stop it and could only let them go.

"This rainwater is a little sweet! Could it be that some dragon god saw that we were hungry and thirsty and brought nectar from the sky?"

The heavy rain only lasted for a stick of incense. The dark clouds dispersed and the sky was as blue as a wash. King Qingniu Si's sharp eyes saw a nine-clawed dragon flying secretly between the clouds and mist. Qingniu quickly flew forward and followed him for a hundred miles. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt, and he asked tentatively: "King of Dragon Demon, where are you going?"

After hearing this, the dragon covered his face with his claws and ran away in panic. King Qingniu Si sneered, stopped in front of him on a cloud, grabbed his paw, and shouted: "Stop pretending to be a ghost, you are the only one in the world who has such a big body, the North Sea dragon!"

The Demon King Jiao had no choice but to release his claws and said with a chuckle, "It's none of my business. My young master asked me to make the clouds and rain. If you want revenge, go find him!"

The Green Ox King was puzzled and said, "Is there something strange in the rain?"

The Demon King Jiao's eyes turned and he said with a smile, "Niu Si, you didn't drink the rain water?"

"I have been practicing the authentic immortal method and have been fasting for a long time. I don't eat meat or grains. I only eat cypress dew and refine my essence and nourish my qi. This rain is not from the right place, so I don't bother to go. Hey! "

The Jiao Demon King breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." He whispered in his ear: "I've told you about it, don't gossip and tell everyone that I did it, otherwise my reputation will be in jeopardy!"

Qingniu shuddered a dozen times and shouted: "Vicious, vicious!" He grabbed the Jiao Demon King and said: "Good brother, you asked me to take 100,000 pregnant women to the West, isn't that going to kill me? Please show me a way, otherwise I will spread the good things you did everywhere!"

The original intention of the Jiao Demon King was to lure him out. Seeing that the old cow was worried, he whispered in his ear: "Brother Zhu Ba wants to join forces with you." Seeing that there was no one around, he whispered: "I believe you have also heard about the chaos of the heavenly secrets. The saints are going to confer the gods again. The matters of the Conferring God List have not been decided by the big brothers. Brother Zhu Ba asked me to deliberately lure you out and pass on a message to you: If you can help him once, even if your name appears on the Conferring God List, he can keep you safe." The Green Ox King was delighted and looked around, whispering: "I also heard about this from my master , saying that Zhu Ganglie was the one who was destined to be robbed, and many people were on the list. I had also wanted to ask him for help, but we were not familiar with each other. This is a good relationship. What exactly does Brother Zhu Ba want me to do? "

The Jiao Demon King told the story in detail and said, "The Luotai Spring has been hung on Mount Xumi. You only need to say that it was Lingji Bodhisattva who took action to harm 100,000 big monsters, and encourage them to find Lingji Bodhisattva to bring bad luck, and then everything will be done. "

The Green Ox smiled and said, "This is simple." After bidding farewell to the Jiao Demon King, he came to the group of monsters and saw that the monsters who had drunk rain water were indeed swollen and crying. These monsters also had some knowledge and knew that it was the water of the Zimu River and that they were calculated by others. The Green Ox Si King fanned the flames and said, "I just saw Lingji Bodhisattva sneaking over from the cloud."

Some of these old monsters believed it, and some did not. When they arrived at the Kingdom of Women, they saw that everyone in the Kingdom of Women was crying and cursing, saying that Lingji Bodhisattva had taken away the Luotai Spring. Only then did they believe it.

"You bald Lingji who wants to be killed by thousands of swords and shaved by tens of thousands of swords, did we provoke you to do such a cruel thing?"

One hundred thousand old demons were furious and rode on clouds and mist to Mount Xumi. .
