Fahai travels through Tang Sanzang

Chapter 633: Five Great Immortals; Monsters!

If Bajie were asked to choose between gluttony and lust, then it would be obvious that Bajie would choose the former.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and eating is the biggest thing.

Even if he is now successful in practice, three meals a day are essential. Even if there are occasional accidents, after the meal, he has to open his mouth and take a few sips.

But female sex is like a bone scraper.

Even if you look at the flesh on your small body, if you really want to be knifed, you won't be able to withstand a few blows.

It has to be said that the calamity of the White Bone Demon back then would be a lifelong experience for Bajie.

As the saying goes: Food, color, and sex.

However, benevolence, justice, propriety and wisdom are not imposed on me from outside, they are inherent in me.

Bajie has a deep understanding of this.

That day, Bajie used the Tiangang Transformation to transform into a young hunter and entered Changbai Mountain——

There is a saying in the Classic of Mountains and Seas: In the wilderness, there is a mountain named BuXian, and there is the country of the Sushen family. This BuXian mountain is Changbai Mountain, also known as Taibai Mountain.

It is named after the white pumice and snow. It is known as "the highest peak in the world with thousands of years of snow and ten thousand years of pine trees". It is one of the top ten famous mountains in China.

It is as famous as Mount Tai, Mount Huang, Mount Emei, Mount Lu, Mount Hua and other fairy mountains. Because it is far away from the Central Plains, there are many more monsters in the mountains than in the famous mountains and rivers of the Central Plains.

Some evil cultivators who find it inconvenient to show up in the Central Plains will also choose to practice in seclusion in the Changbai Mountains.

There are still relatively few authentic Taoist monks who choose to practice in Changbai Mountain, and more are the spirits and monsters in the mountains who have gained enlightenment. These are the five major immortal families in Changbai Mountain: Hu, Huang, Liu, Bai, and Hui.

They are foxes, weasels, snakes, hedgehogs, and rats, the five major groups.

Through practice, they can ascend to immortality, but if they want to achieve it, the conditions are very strict. The most basic one is not to do evil in the world, but at the same time, you must accumulate merit.

Some people are profound in their Taoism, and naturally they have the opportunity to attain the Tao and become immortals.

But as the ethnic group grows, it is inevitable that the good and the bad will be mixed, and it is not uncommon for some young people to appear wantonly.

For such people, the five major ethnic groups have always left it to chance. Whether they become immortals or become demons depends entirely on their own desires, which will only lead to disaster in the future. The ethnic groups will not stand up for them, and their future of life and death is entirely left to their own fate.

Fox Fairy is the head of the five great fairy families, but because of their scarcity and reputation as "fox spirits", they act more cautiously and will not show up in front of others easily;

Huangxian is the weasel. This group has always been called "Huangxian" or "Uncle Huang" by the people. Rumor has it that this group of people is very vindictive. Even if an ordinary mortal sees an ordinary weasel, he will be punished. Take a detour. However, if Huangxian wants to transform into a Taoist form, they need to ask the human race, "Do you think I look like a human being?" They take the form of enlightened people. Otherwise, not only will they fail the test, but their path will be completely ruined, and they will have to practice all over again. Naturally, they will take revenge;

As for the White Fairy, although they have thorns all over their body, this is not a weapon for them to attack the enemy. If it is an armor used to protect themselves, compared to the mysterious Fox Fairy and the vengeful Huang Fairy, the White Fairy is obviously much kinder, and It is regarded as a symbol of auspiciousness by the people in the world. The White Immortals are also the most willing to accumulate merit among the five immortal families. Their method of accumulating merit is also very simple, that is, they transform into the old lady Bai, cure all diseases for mankind, pray for blessings and eliminate disasters;

The Snake Clan, as the Liuxian, is the most powerful group among the Five Immortals. The relationship with humans is not close, but they will not easily provoke the human race, but if someone invades their territory, or If you offend them, it will not be simply retaliation like the "Huang Xian". It will often lead to lawsuits involving human lives.

In the past, no one cared about it, but now the Tang Dynasty will naturally not sit back and watch such things happen. Yuan Tiangang personally went to Changbai Mountain to fight, kill, win over and appease the Liuxian clan. A group of people easily divided and disintegrated them, and became a considerable force among bad people.

Finally, the Rat Tribe, who was the Gray Immortal, was believed by the people to be the "Cang God". However, after Yang Jian succeeded to the throne, he also started to clean up many of these wild gods who had not been "imperialized". Therefore, the Gray Tribe in Changbai Mountain was rumored to be responsible for Some of Bai Ze's bloodline have the ability to predict misfortune and determine good or bad luck, so they went into hiding early and were not affected.

But because of this, he no longer dares to accept incense offerings from the world as the "Cang God".

Changbai Mountain is now also within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. Regarding the five immortal families in Changbai Mountain, Li Shimin's strategy is still to appease and win over. After all, they are not monsters that cannibalize and harm people, but are more like native mountain spirits.

Since Li Shimin is determined to become the king of men, naturally these races in his own territory cannot just sit idly by.

As for the "Five Immortal Families", when facing a human emperor like Li Shimin, they seemed to have only one option: surrender. Otherwise, they would become enemies of the Tang Dynasty. When the army pressed on, they would still It's hard to say how many people can be left alive.

Of course, Li Shimin would not take action as soon as he came up. It is the Chinese style to be polite first and then attack. Since the mountains and wild spirits were involved, Yuan Tiangang was naturally the one to take action.

Among them, the Fox tribe expressed that they could surrender to the Tang Dynasty, but they had never been stained by the world of mortals. As long as they were given a place to live in the Changbai Mountains, in the future, the Tang Dynasty would naturally respect them as long as they had a life.

If necessary, they can also offer fox girls to the court.

Yuan Tiangang himself can make the decision to leave a piece of tribal land in the Changbai Mountains. However, it is not within his authority to divide this territory to a large extent. He needs to report it to His Majesty for his decision;

Yuan Tiangang actually wanted to refuse the offer of the fox girl. But after careful consideration, he gave up the idea and informed His Majesty of the matter, allowing His Majesty to make his own decision.

Li Shimin actually did not object to the marriage between various tribes in the Three Realms and the Tang Dynasty, but the premise was that it was the woman who married outstanding girls from the tribe into the Tang Dynasty, rather than the Tang Dynasty sending the girls away.

And these "marriage" women from various ethnic groups who married into the Tang Dynasty basically married princes and some young and outstanding royal family members.

There are no concubines of these foreign women in his own harem and Li Zhi's harem.

Even if the Qingqiu Fox Clan wanted to marry a pair of aunts and nephews to Li Shimin and Li Zhi respectively, they were still rejected by Li Shimin. He was not afraid that he would not be able to deal with the Qingqiu Fox Clan, but that he did not have the free time now. As for If Li Zhi is not allowed to accept a Qingqiu Fox into the harem, he is worried that he will not be able to conquer him.

Among the "Five Great Immortal Families", it was actually the Huang Clan and the Liu Clan that suffered the most. The former saw Yuan Tiangang coming to visit them, and came to "ask for a title" over their own abilities. As a result, they suffered backlash and were even dealt with by Yuan Tiangang. , if the clan leader hadn't made a decisive decision and knelt down to admit his mistake, I'm afraid Huang Xian would have been removed from the "Five Great Immortal Families".

Liuxian is not as lucky as Huangxian. In fact, Yuan Tiangang is the bad guest who comes to the door, and Yuan Tiangang also knows that he is an uninvited guest. After the recruitment failed, because the attitude of the leader of Liuxian was too unruly, both parties Conflicts in words inevitably escalate to physical conflicts.

The final result was that the body of the Liuxian clan leader was taken as a trophy by Yuan Tiangang and brought back to Chang'an.

If Yuan Tiangang hadn't thought that the Liuxian clan could be used, he probably wouldn't have given them the chance to serve.

Bai Xian was the most obedient and officially joined the Tang Dynasty. Because of their talents in medical skills, they were basically organized into military doctors, while the rest were recruited by unscrupulous people and became wandering doctors. He was a doctor who traveled throughout the major states and counties of the Tang Dynasty.

Some of the Gray Tribe migrated, and the rest either joined the army as scouts, or joined the bad guys and became spies.

It can be said that today's "Five Immortal Families" in Changbai Mountain have become the minions of the Tang Dynasty.

Not long after Bajie entered the Changbai Mountains, he met Huang Taixian who was "asking for a title". He saw that Huang Taixian dressed him up like a human being, wearing a cloak and holding a small umbrella. "Bajie" transformed into a young and strong man and stopped him halfway. Then he bowed to "Bajie" and asked: "Strong man, what do you think I look like? Do I look like a human being?" Wong Tai Sin Bajie was naturally aware of the story of asking for the title. Whether the other party could get it after years of hard work all depended on this question. In line with the idea that even if it didn't work out, don't ruin the other person's good deeds. Bajie smiled and said: "Like people."

call--

As soon as Bajie said these words, he first heard the other party let out a long sigh of relief, which was also mixed with the joy of being about to succeed, and then he could clearly see the other party's animal face, revealing a very human smile. .

Immediately afterwards, Bajie saw that the other party closed his eyes, threw the small umbrella, and opened his arms, as if waiting for a miracle to come.

Bajie is also looking forward to it.

After all, Master had only mentioned Wong Tai Sin's request for a title in the past, but now this was the first time he had encountered it. It was inevitable that he was a little curious and wanted to see what was going on.

You must know that among the various tribes in the Three Realms, only the Huangxian tribe in the Changbai Mountain area needs this method to cultivate into human form. Now it is very rare to witness the other party's transformation in person.

But...it took about one stick of incense.

The other party still kept the same posture as before, but the smile on the corner of his mouth was erased at some point.

Bajie's eyes were full of doubts and puzzlement. Didn't he say he could transform? Why was there no movement at all?

But he wasn't sure whether it was because the time hadn't come yet, so he didn't dare to speak out without permission, for fear of disturbing the other party and interrupting the other party's transformation process.

"why."

Bajie didn't speak, and the weasel couldn't bear it any longer. It opened its eyes and carefully looked at its unchanged body, its eyes full of confusion.

"Strong man, what was your answer just now?"

Bajie quickly replied: "I said he is a human being."

"Really?"

"It's true."

As he spoke, Bajie took out a bead from his body and said to the weasel, "Look."

This bead is a photographic weapon refined by the senior brother. They, master and disciple, all carry it with them. They can record what happens around them anytime and anywhere. It is indeed useless at ordinary times, but once it is used It often works wonders.

When their master and disciple went to Lingshan, the reason why no immortal or Buddha dared to attack their master and disciple with words like "killing innocent people indiscriminately" was because they had left evidence in advance.

It would be fine if they honestly didn't speak up. Otherwise, based on the evidence in the hands of their master and apprentice, they would pursue the case in reverse and beat them to a dead meal, and the crime of lax discipline would be the worst.

The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas in Lingshan obviously know the sharpness of their masters and disciples, and they will avoid it if they can, otherwise they will more or less show up when they travel to the west.

Well, Lingji Bodhisattva showed up and almost broke his Taoist heart.

Manjushri Bodhisattva also made an appearance, but as a result, he is still undergoing reincarnation in the human world. He doesn't know when he will be able to realize himself and return to the Buddha realm.

This is a lesson learned from the past.

The weasel obviously didn't expect Bajie to have such a skill, so he quickly came over to watch, wanting to see what was going on.

"There's nothing wrong with my outfit."

Weasel was the first to confirm this.

"The movements I made when I saluted you were also very regular and there were no mistakes."

The weasel then looked back——

"My questions and your answers are also very normal."

After the weasel confirmed that there were no problems with these three elements, it obviously fell into self-doubt. It murmured softly: "Could it be that my practice is not enough? It's not time to ask for a title from the human race? It shouldn't be. Last year on February 2 When I asked for the title from the human race, his cultivation level was not as good as mine, so didn’t he still succeed in asking for the title? What is the problem?”

"Wait a minute!"

Bajie listened to the other person talking to himself, and an idea suddenly came to his mind: "You just said, ask for a title from the human race?"

"Yes." Weasel nodded, "Our clan, after reaching a certain level of cultivation, can choose to 'ask for a title' from the human race who goes into the mountains alone. As long as the human race says that we look like humans, we can turn into human forms. , I’ve never had any problems before, but for some reason, you came to my place, okay?”

When the weasel said this, he suddenly thought of something.

It first looked at the "magic weapon" in front of it, then focused its gaze on Bajie, and finally discovered the key to the problem, "Who are you?"

Bajie thought for a while, spread his hands, and said helplessly: "Is it possible that I am not a human being?"

weasel:

"呲-"

It subconsciously wanted to grin.

But the next moment, he saw Bajie retracting his transformation and revealing his true appearance.

"Ouch!" The weasel screamed and jumped back suddenly, "Monster!"

Bajie:.
