Journey to the West: The poor monk Bodhidharma, the supreme Buddhist and Taoist

Chapter 254 The Bull Demon King's Reminder!

As we all know, Huoyan Mountain is the territory of the Bull Demon King.

Because all the thousands of living beings in Huoyan Mountain must have the protection of Princess Iron Fan to survive.

But the origin of the Flame Mountain has a great relationship with Monkey King.

Back then, Sun Wukong made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, was captured and returned to heaven by Xiansheng Erlang Zhenjun, and was escorted to Tushita Palace, where he was thrown into the Bagua furnace of Taishang Laojun, intending to refine it into a golden elixir.

As a result, after practicing the number of seven and seven, when the gossip furnace was turned on, Monkey King was safe and sound except for his eyes being smoked.

As soon as he got out of trouble, he kicked over the gossip stove.

While kicking down the alchemy furnace, a few bricks fell to the mortal world, and there was lingering fire inside, which turned into a flaming mountain.

Fortunately, after Princess Iron Fan married the Bull Demon King, she moved to live in Jilei Mountain near Flame Mountain.

Wandering around on weekdays, I came across Huoyan Mountain. I saw that there is no spring or autumn here, and it is hot all seasons. The heat is steaming, and no grass grows. rain.

The residents of Huoyan Mountain have just planted and harvested, and they can have five grains to maintain their health.

For hundreds of years, it became a tradition.

In order to get good weather, the family of Huoyan Mountain worships once every ten years, four pigs and four sheep, the inside and outside of the bonus, different fragrances and fruits, chicken and goose wine, bathing devoutly, go to Jilei Mountain, ask Princess Iron Fan to come out of the cave, and do so. .

Hearing that Bodhidharma borrowed the plantain fan to extinguish the flames in the Flame Mountain, the Bull Demon King couldn't help but smiled wryly.

"Since this is the case, it can be regarded as a merit. I will lend you my plantain fan!"

The Bull Demon King waved his hand, speaking generously.

As for why Bodhidharma knew the formula to make the plantain fan bigger, he didn't have time to find out.

Zhu Gangli on the side suddenly interjected: "Bull Demon King, don't act as if you are very generous! You lost this fan to the Bodhidharma!"

"I know, I want you to talk more!"

Glancing at Zhu Gangyan in dissatisfaction, the Bull Demon King turned to Bodhidharma and said, "However, there is something I have to remind you!"

"What's the matter?"

Seeing the seriousness of the Bull Demon King, Bodhidharma was a little strange.

After pondering for a while, the Bull Demon King said: "Although my wife and I are regarded as monsters, we are considered bandits. Especially my wife is a female fairy who has attained the Tao. She will never ignore the suffering of all beings..."

"Ok!"

Dharma nodded.

In the original novel of Journey to the West, the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan did not do anything harmful except for a few fights with the four Buddhist scriptures.

And, to some extent.

Had it not been for Princess Iron Fan's help, Huoyanshan would have long since disappeared.

After listening to the words of the Bull Demon King.

Zhu Ganglian frowned, as if he felt the same way.

"Bull Demon King, but based on your words, I will save you a few words in the future!"

Pig just laughed.

Glancing at Zhu Gang's mane, the Bull Demon King ignored him and continued, "500 years ago, my wife and I settled in Jilei Mountain. Suddenly, one day, a fire fell from the sky, turning the ground into a sea of ​​flames with a radius of [-] miles..."

"My wife and I were afraid of hurting the living beings, so we went out to see the situation. We saw many living beings were buried in the flames, and we were moved with compassion!"

"Madam even took out the plantain fan, wanting to extinguish all the flames of the Huoyan Mountain once and for all..."

"Oh? Princess Iron Fan is kind!"

Dharma nodded.

But the problem is.

Until the period of Journey to the West, when the master and apprentice passed by for Buddhist scriptures, the Huoyan Mountain was still there.

If what the Bull Demon King said just now is true, then something must have happened during this period, which hindered Princess Iron Fan.

As expected, the Bull Demon King sighed heavily, and said: "Unfortunately, things didn't work out as expected. Due to various obstructions, my wife and I had no choice but to let it go!"

"Multiple obstructions?"

Dharma couldn't help but frowned.

Logically speaking, the Huoyan Mountain is a catastrophe set by the Buddhist sect on the Westward Journey Road. Only after the three-tone plantain fan can the fire of the Huoyan Mountain be extinguished.

Buddhism also took advantage of the trend to bring such powerful monsters as the Bull Demon King into their sect, which can be said to kill three birds with one stone.

If someone really prevented the Bull Demon King and Princess Iron Fan from fanning out the Flame Mountain, it must be Lingshan Buddhism who jumped out to stop it.

But according to the Bull Demon King's wishes, the Buddhist family was not the only force that came out to stop it at that time.

This made Dharma a little puzzled.

Bodhidharma asked: "Besides Lingshan Buddhism, are there other forces obstructing?"

"Not bad!"

The Bull Demon King nodded.

"What other forces are there?"

Dharma asked.

"No way!"

The Bull Demon King hesitated to speak, hesitated for a moment, and finally decided to keep silent.

"If you really want to fan out the Flame Mountain, you will know when the time comes!"

The Bull Demon King immediately added another sentence.

Regarding the words of the Bull Demon King, regardless of whether it is true or not, Bodhidharma has already made plans to use the plantain fan to destroy the Flame Mountain.

It's just that this time I happened to meet the Bull Demon King in Bibotan, so I "borrowed" the plantain fan on a temporary basis.

You don't have to think about it later.

He looked at the plantain fan in his hand again. Although he didn't know the formula to make the plantain fan smaller, Bodhidharma didn't bother to ask the Bull Demon King, and immediately threw the plantain fan into the system backpack.

Seeing that the plantain fan suddenly disappeared from Bodhidharma's hand, the Bull Demon King asked eagerly, "That...Holy Monk Bodhidharma, when are you going to the Flame Mountain?"

"how?"

"I'd love to be with you!"

As he said that, as if he was afraid that Bodhidharma might misunderstand, the Bull Demon King hurriedly said, "I have no other intentions, I just want to be your guide because I'm afraid you won't be able to find your way!"

Bodhidharma smiled and said, "You are kind!"

It is a kind of wisdom to see through but not tell through.

Zhu Ganglian listened beside him, and couldn't help but sneered.

Just about to speak.

Unexpectedly, the Bull Demon King saw his lips moving slightly, before he could say anything, he interrupted first: "However, I have to wait until I finish the martial arts competition to recruit relatives first!"

"what?"

Wansheng Laolong heard the words and smiled bitterly, "Strength King, why are you still thinking about the martial arts competition to recruit relatives?"

"I came here to you this time, isn't it just for this?"

The Bull Demon King grinned.

Judging from his appearance, he didn't seem to be affected by the disastrous defeat by Bodhidharma just now.

For the Halloween princess's contest to recruit relatives, it seems inevitable.

After hearing what the Bull Demon King said, all the demons present also frowned.

"What? Did I hear correctly? King Dali is also here to participate in the martial arts contest to recruit relatives?"

"This, this is too heaven-defying!"

"I protest!"

All the monsters at the scene suddenly became dissatisfied.

All of a sudden, the voices of the demons became louder and louder, and finally reached the ears of the Bull Demon King unabashedly.

Looking around with some displeasure, the Bull Demon King shouted in a deep voice: "I and Princess Wansheng are talented and beautiful, do you need monsters to object?"

This statement came out.

It caused an uproar.

Just at this time.

Suddenly, a woman's voice, as pleasant as a silver bell, rang out: "Uncle Niu, didn't you already lose just now? Why do you still have the nerve to continue participating in the competition to recruit relatives?"
