Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 160: Study the Buddhist principles together and worship the Tathagata!
Gray world.

The top of the mountains.

The huge fairy city sits on a vast and majestic land, shining brightly.

When Qi Hu followed Sun Wukong and saw from afar the base of the Three Realms against the extraterritorial demons, the Miluo Immortal City sitting above the clouds, it was already midnight in the early morning.

Although there is no distinction between day and night in this small world.

But all the cultivators from the three realms take the time of the three realms as the standard.

For them, calculating the time is a simple matter.

The same is true for Qi Hu.

Just when he thought that Sun Wukong would take him to stop like the large number of monks outside the gate of Miluo Fairy City, and then line up to enter through the gate.

Sun Wukong showed him what privileged exceptions were.

When Sun Wukong approached the fairy city on his cloud, he did not stop or slow down, but rushed straight into the fairy city from the sky above.

The magic circle covering the entire fairy city only shone slightly and then quickly disappeared into the void.

Qi Hu, who was standing next to Sun Wukong, was greatly surprised.

When he just arrived at this fairy city a few days ago, his immediate superior, the Demon King Huang Mang, who has now passed away, warned the six Yuandan realm monsters, including him, not to enter the forbidden airspace, let alone enter the sky above the fairy city.

Now it seems that those are all used to restrict low-level monks, just like the society he lived in in his previous life.

He flew all the way to the core area of ​​the western city of the fairy city and flew into a magnificent fairy mansion.

"Brother Monkey."

As soon as Qi Hu followed Sun Wukong to land in the courtyard of the Immortal Palace, he heard a slightly familiar voice coming from the hall in front.

Then, he saw a fat figure wearing monk robes, with a pig head and pig ears, and an increasingly fat head and big ears, walking out of the hall quickly, complaining and shouting: "You said you would go away, but it's been so long. The master has been here for half an hour. I have an empty stomach, and the master has been nagging me for half an hour. You have to compensate me, the old pig."

The complaints haven't been finished yet.

Zhu Bajie saw a figure in a blue robe standing next to Sun Wukong. He was slightly startled, then he reacted, but he was not able to react completely. He felt that the Taoist in front of him looked familiar, but he still couldn't remember where he had seen him. He couldn't help but ask Sun Wukong: "Big Brother, where did you bring this back from? Why does it look familiar to me?"

"I have met Elder Pig."

Before Sun Wukong could speak, Qi Hu smiled and bowed.

Zhu Bajie couldn't remember Qi Hu, but Qi Hu recognized this man with a very clear image at a glance. Now he should have been named "Purifying Altar Messenger" by the Buddha in the West and enjoyed the status of Bodhisattva. His full name is "Namo Purifying Altar Messenger Bodhisattva" Zhu Bajie.

But everything in this world must have corresponding virtues.

Just like Qi Hu, when he first met the team of pilgrims, he was just a small cultivator in the early stage of Jindan.

Even now, more than thirty years have passed. Although he has a good talent for cultivation and has reached the late stage of Jindan, close to the state of perfection, that is all. He is still just a minor cultivator.

From the outward appearance, Qi Hu did not have any great immortal background, nor did he have any followers, and he was also born a monster.

In ordinary human fairyland, demon kings and even demon ancestors are not aware that the four members of the pilgrim team obtained the true scriptures and were canonized by Lingshan Tathagata, which is something that only the immortals and gods know now.

Although it is far from a secret.

But it is not something that a mere Jindan demon cultivator like him should know.

It is normal for him not to know, and it is abnormal if he knows.

therefore.

Even if he knew it clearly in his heart, he would not reveal it easily, just like he only called Sun Wukong the Great Sage before, because he knew that the other party was the Monkey King who made a fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, and it was Sun Wukong who told him.

Now, when he met Zhu Bajie, he could only call him by his original title, rather than the Bodhisattva "Purifier of the Altar".

"Back then in Chechi Country"

Qi Hu continued with a smile, "I have the honor of meeting the Great Sage, Elder Tang, Elder Zhu, and Elder Sha. I wonder if Elder Zhu still has any impression of me?"

"Chechi Country"

After hearing what Qi Hu said, Zhu Bajie's eyes suddenly lit up and he immediately recalled it. He looked at Qi Hu and said happily: "So it's you, little demon Taoist priest. I still remember that you were the national teacher of Chechi Kingdom, right?"

Qi Hu smiled and nodded: "Elder Pig has a good memory, it's the secret path"

"I, Old Pig, remember that you, the little Taoist priest, have helped me, my master, and my fellow brothers a lot."

Zhu Bajie was getting happier and happier as he talked. Ever since he, his elder brother and his junior brother Sha escorted the master to Lingshan, he was named "Purifying Altar Envoy Bodhisattva" by Tathagata Buddha in the Leiyin Temple of the Great Leiyin Temple of Lingshan. After achieving enlightenment, he recalled the past and thought of the good times. This is something every successful person cannot avoid. When he met an old friend on the journey to obtain the scriptures, he was naturally happy and asked with a smile, "Why did a little Taoist like you come to this place?"

"It's a long story."

Seeing that Zhu Bajie was very nice to him, Qi Hu felt much calmer and said with a smile, "I am grateful to the Great Sage for saving my life this time, but I am still feeling uneasy. How about I drink some tea to calm my mind and then talk to the elder in detail?"

"It should, it should"

After hearing what Qi Hu said, Zhu Bajie immediately realized that it was inappropriate for him to block the other party here and just ask for advice, and immediately grinned and said: "Hey, little Taoist priest, please..."

Seeing Zhu Bajie's expression, Sun Wukong on the side laughed and scolded: "You idiot."

Before the three demons entered the hall, they heard a voice coming from the hall: "Bajie, which immortal is here? Why are you laughing so happily?"

Hear this sound.

Qi Hu had of course recognized the owner of the voice. It was none other than Tang Sanzang, the mortal who had gone through untold hardships on the journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures. Now he had obtained the true scriptures, awakened his innate wisdom, understood his past and present lives, and was named "Namo Sandalwood Merit Buddha" Jin Chanzi.

Zhu Bajie, who was standing in front of him, heard this and immediately trotted into the hall. He walked quickly to Tang Sanzang who was standing up and said, "Master, look who did you bring here today?"

While talking.

Qi Hu and Sun Wukong had already stepped into the hall, and saw Zhu Bajie walking towards them accompanied by a tall, handsome and kind-looking man wearing a monk's robe.

If it’s not the original Tang Sanzang, then who else could it be?

However, compared to Tang Sanzang when he was a mortal, the one in front of him had a restrained divine aura and a faint Buddha's light, just like a great monk and Buddha who had attained enlightenment.

At that time, Tang Sanzang finally obtained the true scriptures and achieved the right result.

Not daring to neglect, Qi Hu stepped forward quickly and saluted: "Meet Elder Tang. It has been many years since we last met. Elder, you have indeed reached Lingshan, obtained the true scriptures, and achieved your wish. It is truly a cause for celebration!"

Looking at Taoist Qi Shan, who was wearing a blue robe, tall and handsome, but obviously a little tired, Tang Sanzang was pleasantly surprised. He quickly reached out and helped Qi Hu up, saying, "Master Qi, thank you for your courtesy. We haven't seen each other for many years. It is fate that I can meet you in this battlefield outside the domain."

talking.

Tang Sanzang immediately looked at Zhu Bajie and said, "Bajie, why don't you serve tea to Taoist Qi!"

This time, when Zhu Bajie heard the order, he did not directly confront Tang Sanzang as he did before. He went to the inner hall honestly, but muttered to himself: "This is Monkey King's yard, why do you always order me around?"

Tang Sanzang had long been accustomed to Zhu Bajie's laziness, and he didn't care. He immediately looked at Qi Hu, stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "Master, please take a seat."

Feeling the enthusiasm of the current "Sandalwood Merit Buddha", Tang Sanzang is not hypocritical.

Qi Hu finally felt relieved and sat down at the tea table beside him.

Tang Sanzang sat down, looked at Qi Hu opposite him and sighed: "I never thought that the Taoist priest would come to this foreign battlefield. It has been more than 30 years since we last met. The past is still vivid in my mind."

"Indeed."

Hearing Tang Sanzang's words, Qi Hu nodded and sighed, "Thirty years seem like yesterday, and the world has changed a lot. I never thought that I would meet the elders, the Great Sage, and several young elders again in this battlefield outside the domain."

"But if the Great Sage hadn't come to my rescue this time, I would have probably met with an accident."

At this point, Qi Hu immediately stood up and bowed to the Monkey King, who was sitting at the table next to him. The Monkey King had changed his clothes into monk robes and said, "Thank you, Great Sage, for saving my life. I will never forget it."

Qi Hu thanked Sun Wukong so solemnly in front of his master, but he was actually thanking him in his heart. He was very happy, but he waved his hand and said casually: "You little demon." But as soon as he opened his mouth, he immediately realized that his master was there, and immediately changed his words: "It was because you used the life-saving hair that I gave you that I could feel it and save you."

Although Sun Wukong acted casual, the smiles at the corners of his mouth and eyes, and even the fact that every hair on his body stood up, could not hide his happiness and cheerfulness, which exposed his true thoughts at the moment.

In front of his master, the little demon who was valued by his master was so grateful to him. Sun Wukong felt that his sense of accomplishment was incomparable at this moment.

Hearing Qi Hu's words, Tang Sanzang smiled and nodded with satisfaction: "Although Wukong occasionally gets angry, I always trust him when he does things. He saved you this time because of your virtue. With your teachings and support for countless people in Chechi Country, even if Wukong didn't help, the disaster would have turned into a blessing. You don't have to take it too seriously."

And heard this.

Qi Hu suddenly felt something strange in his heart, and realized that although Tang Sanzang had awakened the previous life wisdom of Jin Chanzi, the second disciple of Tathagata Buddha, and combined the two into one and was named "Sandalwood Merit Buddha", he was still basically the Tang Sanzang he knew, and his personality did not seem to have changed much.

He was naturally happy about this and immediately said, "I am not sorry for the elder's praise. I was kind enough to receive a hair from the Great Sage before, and now you have saved my life. I will remember it in my heart."

But he didn't finish his words.

"Hey, if it's up to me, Old Pig, you don't have to worry too much about it."

At this time, Zhu Bajie came out with a teapot and teacup, and said loudly: "I don't know how much hair I lose every day. How much is picked up and how much is given away. Even if it is not the little Taoist priest today, but someone else, I will go to save him."

Zhu Bajie has always liked to make trouble with Sun Wukong. When he saw Qi Hu thanking his eldest brother in public in front of his master, he immediately had the intention of causing trouble, just like he did when they were seeking scriptures.

But he didn't finish his words.

"Go go."

Sun Wukong was immediately dissatisfied, and immediately jumped up and appeared beside Zhu Bajie. He stretched out his hand and grabbed Zhu Bajie's big ears and scolded: "What do you know, you idiot?"

"It hurts, it hurts, it hurts."

Zhu Bajie immediately yelled, "Brother Monkey, be gentle."

Seeing the fight unfolding again, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but hold his forehead and looked at Qi Hu and said, "Look at these two useless disciples of mine. I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Taoist priest."

It's impossible to laugh at someone.

Qi Hu, who had a sworn brother named Chang Ya Da Jiao, felt the brotherhood between Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie as he watched this scene.

But I didn’t see Sha Seng, and I don’t know where he went?
As soon as Qi Hu had this thought, he heard footsteps coming from the courtyard of the main hall.

He raised his head and saw a tall figure with a green face, red hair and a ferocious expression walking into the hall.

Say Cao Cao and Cao Cao will arrive.

The visitor was none other than Sha Wujing, but the current Sha Wujing should be the same as the other three pilgrims in the hall. He should have obtained the true scriptures, achieved the right results, and was named "Golden Body Arhat" and enjoyed the status of Bodhisattva. His full name is "Namo Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat Bodhisattva".

"master."

"Big brother"

As soon as Sha Seng entered the hall, he was obviously stunned when he saw Qi Hu in a blue robe sitting next to the tea table. He was quite surprised, but he was calm and greeted Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong, but did not greet his second brother Zhu Bajie, which immediately made Zhu Bajie dissatisfied.

Tang Sanzang, who was the most enthusiastic towards Qi Hu, immediately looked at Sha Seng and asked with a smile: "Does Wujing still recognize the Taoist priest?"

Sha Seng smiled and nodded: "Of course I recognize him. Taoist Priest Qi helped us a lot in Chechi Country. Without Taoist Priest Qi, we would not have had such a good time."

Of course, Sha Seng had some impression of Qi Hu.

Although this impression is not bad, it is not very deep either.

However, he remembered that the person worshipped in the temple by the Tiger Demon National Master was Zhang Tianshi, a close minister of His Majesty and the leader of the Four Heavenly Masters.

I think this tiger demon must have some relationship with Zhang Tianshi, and the master values ​​this tiger demon national master so much.

Although he looked down upon the tiger demon's cultivation level, he would never show it.

After some polite exchanges.

The four masters and disciples sat down in the hall.

It was also the first time that Qi Hu drank the tea brewed by Zhu Bajie.

After another reminiscing about the past, he was curious about the four masters and disciples who went on the journey to the West.

Qi Hu then talked about the reason why he came to this foreign battlefield: "After the elders left, I felt that the world was colorful, so I practiced in Chechi Country for a few years, and then left Chechi Country, heading east, all the way to the Southern Continent and the Eastern Tang Dynasty mentioned by the elders."

"When I returned again, the King of Chechi had died. I no longer had any interest in this country, so I entrusted Chechi to the Shushan Immortal Sect."

"That's how I came to this battlefield outside the domain. On my first mission, I encountered a life-threatening situation and was saved by the Great Sage."

After Qi Hu slowly finished recounting the difficult experience of how he came to this foreign battlefield.

Tang Sanzang looked at Qi Hu and said sincerely, "Amitabha, the world is full of suffering. You are a man of noble character. Why don't you come to my Lingshan Mountain to study Buddhism and worship Tathagata together?"
