The Ascension Plan of the Ancestral Star of the Shuttles

Chapter 362
However, after the four-person group of Buddhist scriptures passed through Huoyun Cave, they continued to climb mountains and ridges all the way to the west.

It's just that there are not many human settlements near the six hundred miles of Drill Hill.

They walked for three days in a row, but they didn't find a place to stay. They slept in the wild every day, and they relied on Monkey King to fly to other places for food.

Until this day, the four masters and apprentices and a white dragon horse turned around a mountainside, but saw a large peach blossom forest on the opposite mountain.

There is only one trail extending up the mountain among the peach forests, the mountain is filled with clouds and mist, and a building is looming in the clouds and mist.

Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, he pointed to the top of the mountain and said, "Wukong, what kind of place do you think that is?"

Sun Wukong put his golden cudgel on the ground, stepped on the stick with one foot, curled up the other foot, built a pergola between his eyebrows with his left hand, and looked up the mountain.

I saw the fire shining in his pupils, his eyes glowed with golden light, and he could clearly see the scene on the mountain.

Monkey King jumped off the stick and said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, this is a Taoist temple."

When Zhu Bajie heard it, he patted his belly, which was like being pregnant for six months, and said with a pig's mouth: "The relationship is good. If we have a Taoist temple, we can stay overnight for alms, have a good meal, and have a good rest."

Tang Sanzang said hesitantly: "There are no villages and towns nearby, how can there be a Taoist temple here? Could it be that the monsters have changed?"

Tang Sanzang is just innocent, not stupid, and the experience along the way, especially after the catastrophe of the Bone Demon at Baihuling, made him develop a cautious temperament.

But all Taoist temples always need incense to worship, no matter how remote it is, there must be living people living nearby.

How can there be any reason to build a Taoist temple in this wilderness?

Moreover, this peach forest is also very strange, incompatible with the surrounding environment, so Tang Sanzang suspects that there are monsters using blind methods to trick them into falling into a trap.

Sun Wukong laughed sharply: "Don't worry, Master, I have just seen it with my piercing eyes. There is no trace of evil spirit on the mountain, but it is surrounded by the spiritual energy of the fairy family. Maybe it is a secluded Taoist master who is here to hide from the world and cultivate."

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang felt relieved, and said joyfully, "Then let's go a few steps quickly and go to spend the night before it gets dark."

"Okay, master, get on your horse."

After turning around the mountainside, the road here is relatively gentle, and riding on horseback will not cause the horse to fall due to too much inclination.

Tang Sanzang got on his horse immediately, led by Monkey King, and rushed to the Peach Blossom Mountain.

With a big belly, Zhu Bajie walked leisurely behind the white dragon horse, carrying a nine-toothed rake.

The honest Drifting Wand used his magic wand to carry the salute and walked at the end.

And in the sky, Wufang Jiedi, who was secretly protecting and monitoring the four-person group along the way, saw this scene and looked at the Taoist temple with some doubts.

Boluo Jiedi said to the leader Jintou Jiedi: "How can there be a Taoist temple here? It shouldn't be!"

Jintou Jiedi frowned slightly, and said: "Wait and see what happens, first look at the other party's origin and then make any calculations. If there is no harm, then don't worry about him."

Journey to the West has a lot to do with it, so as long as they don't spoil it, they won't make any troubles.

Presumably those gods with names and surnames, with heads and faces, would not dare to spoil the Buddhist plan, but if they were unknown juniors, they would be wiped out.

Therefore, Jintou Jiedi believes that there should be no accidents on the journey to the West.

After more than half an hour, Tang Sanzang and his party had already descended to the foot of the mountain and arrived at the entrance of the path among the peach blossom forests.

But I saw a stone tablet standing at the intersection, with three big characters "Peach Blossom View" written on it, and beside the three big characters, there are densely packed small characters.

Out of curiosity, Tang Sanzang ordered: "Wukong, go and see what is written in the small characters on the stone tablet."

Sun Wukong made a promise, jumped forward, took a closer look, then turned to Tang Sanzang and said, "Master, it's a poem."

"Oh?" Tang Sanzang's eyes lit up, he got off his horse immediately, and walked to the stone tablet, Zhu Bajie and Drifting also came forward one after another.

Tang Sanzang recited according to the poem on the stele: "Peach Blossom Temple on Peach Blossom Mountain, and Peach Blossom Fairy in Peach Blossom Temple. The Peach Blossom Fairy plants peach trees, and picks peach blossoms for wine money."

"Drunk awake only sits in front of the flowers, and drunk still comes to sleep under the flowers. Half awake and half drunk day after day, flowers fade and bloom year after year.

"I hope that when I die of old age, I don't want to bow before the chariots and horses. The chariots and horses are enough for the rich, and the wine cups and flower branches are for the poor.

"If wealth and honor are compared to poverty and lowliness, one is on the ground and the other is on the sky. If poverty and lowliness are compared to chariots and horses, he has to drive and I have leisure.

"Other people laugh at me for being crazy, but I laugh at others, but I can't see through it. I can't see the tombs of heroes in the Five Tombs, and there are no flowers, no wine, and no hoes."

After reciting this poem, a smile appeared on Tang Sanzang's face, and the image of a free and easy, leisurely, elegant and happy hermit who wandered in the forest immediately appeared in his mind.

Even the white dragon horse couldn't help Xiluulu neighing.

Zhu Bajie slammed his mouth, and said in a rare serious way: "This Peach Blossom Immortal is an existence who has truly seen through the world and was able to transcend. His open-mindedness makes me ashamed of myself, old pig!"

Tang Sanzang looked at Zhu Bajie in surprise, and said, "Bajie, how can you see so many things?"

Zhu Bajie glanced at Tang Sanzang speechlessly, looked melancholy at the horizon, and sighed: "Master, this disciple was also the Marshal of the Canopy that day, and he has lived thousands of years, so he is not some uneducated pig demon." .”

"Uh……"

Tang Sanzang was stunned, and then realized, no, as far as this group of people is concerned, I am afraid that he is the one with the lowest education, and even Bailongma is better than him.

With an awkward cough, Tang Sanzang smiled again, and said, "Let's go, let's go visit this Peach Blossom Fairy."

Zhu Bajie instantly changed back to his tired and gluttonous image, he wiped his mouth and said, "I don't know that this Peach Blossom Immortal eats all day long."

Monkey King also laughed and said: "Even if you don't eat, it would be nice to have a few glasses of vegetarian wine! If the peach blossoms in the mountains are used to make peach blossom wine, it will be very delicious."

Tang Sanzang listened to the discussion between the two brothers, and suddenly felt his tongue growling, his stomach growling, and he hurriedly urged everyone to go up the mountain.

The so-called vegetarian wine is low-alcohol original wine that has not been distilled. Monks and nuns can also drink it, and it will not break the alcohol prohibition.

At present, the four masters and apprentices lead the horses up the mountain, and after walking for half an hour, they finally arrived at the Taoist temple.

There is still a peach blossom forest in front of the Taoist temple. Tang Sanzang walked in the front and asked the three apprentices to walk behind so as not to surprise others.

Along the path among the peach blossom forests, I walked for tens of feet, and finally walked out of the forest to the open space in front of the Taoist temple.

The scene in the open space is clear at a glance. There are six Taoists here, including four main Taoists and two Kun Taoists.

A cold-tempered Kun Dao was sitting at a stone table with a white-bearded Qian Dao, concentrating on playing chess.

There are also two main roads, a middle-aged and a young man, watching chess from the sidelines.

There is also a young and handsome Gan Dao, and a beautiful Kun Dao, lying side by side on two reclining chairs by the peach blossom forest, seemingly falling into a deep sleep.

And on the ground next to the reclining chair, there were two huge wine gourds, and bursts of floral wine fragrance poured into the nostrils of the master and apprentice.

This made the master and apprentice secretly happy, it really is vegetarian wine, but if you drink too much of this vegetarian wine, it will also become intoxicating.

When Tang Sanzang and his disciples walked through the peach blossom grove and entered this open space, the people at the stone table had already noticed them.

Deng Tai'a, who was watching the battle, got up first to meet them, but Xu Weixiong, Huang Longshi, and Chen Zhibao just turned their heads to look at them.

Deng Tai'a flicked his whisk, made a Dao seal, and sang: "Fusheng Wuliang Tianzun."

Tang Sanzang returned the salute and said: "Namo Amitabha."

After exchanging greetings, Deng Tai'a said: "Where did the elders come from, and why did you come to my Peach Blossom Temple?"

Tang Sanzang smiled and said: "The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the east, and took three disciples to the west to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. When passing by here, he saw Guanyu standing in the mountains. I came here to stay overnight and have some fasting meals. Where there is trouble, I hope the elder will take care of it."

After listening to Tang Sanzang's words, Deng Tai'a smiled and said: "So that's the case. Although this is just a trivial matter, I still need to inform the temple master."

Tang Sanzang hurriedly asked: "Which fairy elder is the master?"

Deng Tai'a pointed to Li Fei who was sleeping on the couch, and said, "That's the one."

"Ah? This..." Tang Sanzang looked at Li Fei with a somewhat astonished expression.

He originally thought that the old Taoist with white beard and hair in the game over there was the owner of the Peach Blossom Temple!

Unexpectedly, the real master of the temple is actually the youngest Taoist.

Seeing this, Deng Tai'a smiled, turned around and walked to Li Fei's side, shook him awake, and said, "Monastery Master, there are a few elders from the Tang Dynasty who want to spend the night in the temple for alms, what's the idea of ​​the temple? "

Li Fei stood up drunkenly, looked at Tang Sanzang and the others, lifted the wine gourd beside him and held it in front of him, and asked, "Are the elders drinking?"

"Uh……"

The master and apprentice were a little confused, Tang Sanzang said in a daze, "If it's plain wine, it doesn't hurt to drink some."

Li Fei grinned and said: "Vegetarian wine, definitely vegetarian wine, pure peach blossom stuffing, since you drink it, then keep it!"

Tang Sanzang was rather dumbfounded, if we don't drink together, you won't stay!
Although the young Guanzhu's temperament is a bit weird, he is quite easy to talk to, so he said immediately: "Thank you, Guanzhu, did you ask for the title of the Guanzhu?"

Li Fei walked up to Tang Sanzang, and said with a smile: "Poverty Spirit Sword, when I was a mortal, my relatives and friends called me Master Spirit Sword. After entering Taoism, fellow Taoists called me Spirit Sword Daoist."

As he spoke, he patted Deng Tai'a on the shoulder and said: "This is Deng Tai'a, who is known as the Peach Blossom Sword Immortal. I haven't asked the elder for his dharma name."

Tang Sanzang said together: "The poor monk Xuanzang."

A look of surprise appeared on Li Fei's face, and he said, "Could it be Master Sanzang?"

Tang Sanzang wondered: "The Lord knows the poor monk?"

Li Fei laughed and said, "Nowadays, among the immortals with a little background in the Three Realms, who doesn't know that Master Sanzang is going to the West to learn scriptures in order to save the world?"

As he spoke, he looked at Sun Wukong and the others, and continued: "So, these are Sun Dasheng, Marshal of the Canopy, and General of Rolling Curtain?"

After hearing what he said, the three brothers and sisters looked at each other and paid him a tithe.

After seeing the ceremony, Sun Wukong said with deep meaning: "Since the temple master knows my master, he still calls out the origins of the three of us, so it must not be just some 'immortal with a little foundation'!"

Li Fei waved his hands and said with a smile: "Hey, that's not important. Since you guys have reached the boundary of the poor, you must rest here for a few more days."

"It's a long journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. It can't be done in more than ten years, and it's not short of a few days' work. Let's take a break, and I'm going to prepare a vegetarian meal. Let's have a good drink later."

"Uncle, please take a few elders to the temple to put away your luggage, I will come as soon as I go."

Uncle?

The master and apprentice looked at the two with strange expressions.

Deng Tai'a nodded and said: "Okay, you go! Elders, please follow me."

Li Fei smiled at Tang Sanzang and the others, took a step aside, and then disappeared.

Tang Sanzang let out a light snort, and Deng Tai'a explained: "It's just shrinking to an inch, the elders don't need to be surprised, please come inside."

"Thank you, Elder Immortal."

Tang Sanzang paid a tithe, and then followed Deng Tai'a to watch the insiders, when he passed the stone table, he saw the three people playing chess and watching chess nod to them, he also smiled and nodded in return.

After entering the Taoist temple, Sun Wukong curiously said to Deng Tai'a: "Daoyou Deng, just now my old grandson Tinglingjian Daoyou called you uncle?"

Deng Tai'a smiled and said: "Yes, the so-called one person attains the Tao, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, we are actually related to each other."

"Kun Dao, who plays chess, is the master's dual cultivator. Her mother is my sister, and the one who watches chess is my sister's adopted son. The other two are also old friends from mortal days."

The master and apprentice were dumbfounded, this is really a one-person attainment, and the chicken and the dog ascended to heaven.

Sun Wukong asked again: "So, the one who attained the Dao first was the Spirit Sword Daoist?"

Deng Tai'a said: "Exactly."

Sun Wukong said: "Then I don't know when fellow Daoist Lingjian attained the Tao?"

Deng Tai'a shook his head and said: "I don't know about this poor Taoist. He had attained Taoism before he knew us. He got to know us when he went down to the world for calamity, and after the calamity was over, he took us to practice together. Only then can we be what we are today."

"So that's it." Sun Wukong nodded, full of curiosity about this spiritual swordsman, especially when he walked through the hall and walked to the backyard.

I saw that there were no statues in the main hall where Sanqing was supposed to be enshrined, and there was only a word "Tao" hanging on the wall, which made the masters and apprentices secretly startled.

They have seen a similar scene before, that is in the Wuzhuang Temple of Longevity Mountain.

The master of the temple, Yuan Daxian, also does not enshrine any immortal gods, but enshrines the word "heaven and earth".

Zhenyuan Daxian Daotong explained: Sanqing is a friend of the family teacher, Sidi is an old friend of the family teacher, Jiuyao is the younger generation of the family teacher, and Yuan Chen is the guest of the family teacher.

Therefore, those gods can't afford the incense offerings from their masters.

At first, Sun Wukong thought they were bragging, but later he found out that everything was true. The Great Immortal Zhenyuan was the ancestor of the Earth Immortal, and his status was extremely respected.

But when they came to this Peach Blossom Temple, they didn't even enshrine the heaven and the earth, they only enshrined the "Tao".

This made them a bit confused. Could it be that this spirit sword master is more powerful than Immortal Zhenyuan?
impossible?

After they passed through the main hall, they saw a few words on the wall of the back hall, which shocked them even more.

I saw the writing on the wall: first there was Pangu and then there was heaven, and Taoist Lingjian is still ahead.I am only living today, and a chaos is a year.

Anyway, Li Fei is not a native of this world, no one can figure out his own origin, bragging, as long as he has the matching strength, any bragging is justified.
