Journey to the West: Six Ears of Rebirth

Chapter 11
"72 Cave Mansion, 72 Demon Kings, count how many demons you can have. This Huaguo Mountain is rich in vitality, which is good for cultivating Taoism. For thousands of years, I don't know how many demon kings have been born." Ao Ling said, "Even human beings want to come here. I am practicing here."

"What? There are still humans here?" Lu Ning asked in surprise.

"Yes! Among the 72 demon kings, there are human beings." Ao Ling said with a smile.

"How can humans live with monsters? This is incredible." Lu Ning said, in his impression, isn't it human beings who kill demons and monsters, and monsters running around?
"You misunderstood. Ordinary people are naturally afraid of the strange and terrifying appearance and powerful power of monsters, but those who practice Taoism are not like this. Their upper body is heavenly and their hearts are already perfect, so they naturally don't stick to formalities. Human monks interact with monsters , is also a very common thing." Ao Ling explained with a smile.

"That's it!" Lu Ning suddenly understood, he suddenly remembered that the black bear spirit in Journey to the West was mixed with human ascetics.

"Just like our dragon clan, if you want to classify them, they are also monsters. But when we fly clouds and rain, and help humans, humans also respect us and respect us as gods. Moreover, don't forget that there are many gods and monsters in the sky. Ao Ling blinked and said with a smile.

Lu Ning wanted to say more, but suddenly his ears moved and he stopped talking.He heard the sound of breaking through the air, and someone was flying towards them.

"Someone is coming." Lu Ning said.

As soon as he finished speaking, a figure walked through the forest and came not far from the two of them.This person is dressed in a gray Taoist robe, with a white beard hanging down, and his face is old, but he looks like a fairy.

"I've met two fellow Taoists, Taoist Cangxiong of the poor way. I heard some movement nearby yesterday, and because of the delay in my cultivation, I came to visit you two today." Taoist Cangxiong bowed and saluted with a smile.

Lu Ning was taken aback for a moment, unexpectedly, he was talking about human cultivators and he could see it. He really said that Cao Cao was here, that Cao Cao was here.Then the two saluted and met each other.

"This Cangxiong Ridge is the training place of the poor Taoist. I wonder what the two of you are doing here?" Taoist Cangxiong glanced at the two of them, and said, with a hint of wariness in his eyes.

After hearing this sentence, Lu Ning immediately understood that human beings say it nicely is a place of cultivation, and if they want to change to monsters, they might say that this is Lao Tzu's territory.This is asking why the two trespassed on other people's territory.

Scratching his head, Lu Ning didn't know how to answer, but fortunately Ao Ling took it.

"Fellow Taoist, we came here temporarily to escape for a while because the demon king in the depths of Huaguo Mountain occupied our residence. If we disturb you, we will leave immediately."

Hearing this, Taoist Cangxiong immediately took a breath and looked at the two of them, and said in surprise: "You guys managed to escape from that devil's hand, that devil's cultivation level is so high that he's close to being an Earth Immortal, it's Huaguo Mountain A rare and powerful monster, even the demon king under him is terrifyingly powerful."

"Just a fluke."

Daoist Cang Xiong was silent now, and after a while he said: "You can stay if you want, but you have to do me a favor, to tell you the truth, the poor Taoist cultivation base has reached the bottleneck, and there is only one step left to go." Enter the level of refining gas and transforming gods."

Lu Ning nodded, he could tell that this old Taoist had a big 24 hanging on his head, he was only one level short of entering Qi Refining and Transforming God, which was one level higher than him.

"I don't know what's busy?" Ao Ling asked.

Daoist Cangxiong suddenly blushed, as if a little embarrassed, "It's a bit windy here, let's go into the cave and discuss it in detail."

Lu Ning smiled, there is no wind in the air, it is clear that Taoist Cang Xiong has something tricky in his heart, he is too embarrassed to tell them outside.Lu Ning was very curious as to what Taoist Cang Xiong wanted them to do.

The three of them flew straight for five miles, and arrived at Taoist Cang Xiong's cave.Different from the real cave of monsters, Taoist Cangxiong said it was a cave, but it was actually a thatched hut surrounded by mountains and rivers.Made of green bamboo, it is very elegant when placed on the water.With Lu Ning's aesthetic ability, he only felt that it was a fairyland on earth, so he kept nodding his head.

"Three poles of green bamboo and a little water, it is the best in the world. Although the residence of the poor Taoist is simple, it is still satisfactory." Daoist Cangxiong led the two into the bamboo residence, and said with a smile.

Lu Ning nodded, and said in admiration, "The Taoist priest is a very elegant person, I feel very comfortable here."

"Hehe, fellow daoist, you are being polite." He said politely, but the smile on his face obviously increased.Anyone who is praised will be happy in his heart, and those who practice Taoism are no exception.Because of Lu Ning's words, Taoist Cangxiong felt very refreshed.

"Let's get down to business, Cangxiong Daoist asked us to help with anything?" Ao Ling asked from the side.

"Speaking of this, Pindao is a little embarrassed." Daoist Cangxiong blushed again, "Pindao has been stuck in this bottleneck for more than ten years. Seeing that his age is about to pass a hundred, he really doesn't want to waste his life."

Lu Ning nodded, people go to high places, water flows to low places, everyone wants to go further.

"The more I practice, the more I find it difficult to advance on my own strength. Just three years ago, I learned that there is a Qingfeng Temple fifty miles away from Huaguo Mountain. The three-turn Guishen Pill is really helpful to me, and I can enter the realm of refining Qi and turning into a god."

"So I was cheeky, prepared some gifts, and went to visit Taoist Qingfeng."

Having said this, Taoist Cangxiong showed a trace of anger in his eyes.When Lu Ning saw it, he knew that this Taoist might have been treated badly.

"I don't know that the owner of Qingfeng Temple is not here, so that's all. There is still a boy in this Taoist temple, so I went in politely and asked if I could get an elixir in exchange."

"But I didn't expect that this trip of the poor Taoist is simply asking for trouble." Daoist Cangxiong slapped the bamboo table in front of him fiercely.

Lu Ning and Ao Ling looked at each other and asked, "What happened?"

"The Taoist boy looked young, but his cultivation was not weak. He was a level higher than me, and he had that magical spell. After I went to propose the idea of ​​exchanging the elixir, the Taoist boy laughed at me loudly, saying that I cultivated For being humble, you want to get the elixir." Daoist Cang Xiong said loudly, his body trembling a little, obviously still very angry at the thought of that time, "Poverty is not easy to provoke, how can you not fight back when you are humiliated?"

"I argued with him, and finally moved my hands."

Now Lu Ning and Ao Ling understood that Taoist Cang Xiong must have lost.This time, I'm looking for the two of them, I'm afraid it's to help them out, to save face.

"We understand what Daoist Cangxiong means, but you are both human beings, but we are demons, I'm afraid I really want to help you..." Ao Ling hesitated.

"Two fellow daoists, don't worry. That dao boy looks like a human, but he is actually a tiger spirit. It's very arrogant to call himself the tiger spirit at such a young age." Cang Xiong said humanely.

"Immortal Tiger Power?" Lu Ning's eyes lit up when he heard the name. Could it be that he is the boss of the three monsters in Chechi Kingdom in Journey to the West?
