Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 73 Lingming Stone Monkey
Landslides and ground cracks, and the fields roar.

Lots of stones, thrown flying and rolling down.

The monkey vented its emotions to its heart's content, roaring and raging.The tyrannical momentum knocked down several mountain peaks in the blink of an eye.

Ren Qinglian and the other two stopped far away on a boulder protruding from a cliff, looking at the monkey, a thought flashed in their minds - so amazing!
This is the Dharma protector predetermined by Buddhism, fight against Buddha!Under the same realm, the actual combat ability is outstanding, and probably only Yang Jian, the protector of the Xuanmen Erlang God, can compare with him.

But Yang Jian's outstanding combat power was obtained only after he had cultivated eight or nine yuan kung fu, but this monkey was born with an innate ability.

Among the four monkeys in the mixed world, the Lingming stone monkey does not seem to have particularly dazzling innate magical powers, but he is proficient in the way of change, good at controlling the right time and place, and moving stars to change battles. He is a natural fighting race!
This is also the reason why the monkey has the lowest level of cultivation, but its combat power is higher than that of the Bull Demon King and Yang Jian after practicing 72 Earth Sha Transformation Techniques!
Although Ren Qinglian sighed in her heart, she soon aroused a fighting spirit to catch up.

The invisible river of blood seemed to let out a roar, resisting the aura of the monkey from a distance.

Although Xuanzang had mortal eyes, he also felt a different aura, as if he was meeting Ren Qinglian for the first time, and stared at him for a long time.

Tian Xingjian, a gentleman strives for self-improvement!Ren Qinglian was immersed in this state of striving to make progress, but she didn't notice Xuanzang's puzzled eyes.

Soon, there was a clear howling, and the monkey flew towards the cloud full of energy.

Ren Qinglian put away the aura on her body, and changed into a look of being out of the ordinary again.

The monkey knelt in front of Xuanzang, dripping red, "Master, I'll come out!" He said, bowing four times.

Xuanzang was secretly pleasantly surprised to see that he was well-behaved, not like the evil spirit he had imagined.

After the monkey paid homage to the master, he looked at Ren Qinglian curiously, and sang aloud: "Your Lao Lay send my master..."

"You don't need to be polite, the Great Sage, these are all matters of the next class." Ren Qinglian said flatly.

"..." Monkey looked at Xuanzang with some doubts.

Xuanzang said with a smile, "Layman Ren is one of the two attendants sent by the Tang king as his teacher."

"Two attendants?" The monkey looked around, but did not find the shadow of the second attendant.

Xuanzang has already talked about what happened to Zhongjie Nunnery with a sad face.

Hearing that Ren Qinglian had killed a tiger demon, a look of surprise flashed in the monkey's eyes.

Although he is not proficient in deduction, but when he was studying art in Sanxing Cave, he also saw a deduction technique called Ziwei Doushu from several senior brothers.

It was really boring to be trapped in the mountains all these years, so I did some research on this Ziwei Doushu good student. Although I dare not say that it is exhaustive, it is still extremely effective to calculate the origin and past of a few mortals.

But for Ren Qinglian, what he calculated was chaos!Could it be that the other party, like himself, has other origins, and was persuaded by the Bodhisattva to become the monk's entourage.

Just as he was thinking, a black demon cloud had shot over, and someone shouted from above, "Grandpa Great Sage, you are indeed out of trouble!"

It's that little monkey!Hou Zi temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart, and a rare warmth appeared on his face.

Xuanzang naturally also noticed the approach of the demon cloud, and his whole body was trembling.

Ren Qinglian saw it, and said with a smile: "Master, don't be afraid, he is a friend from the nearby Monkey King Valley."

After hearing the words, the monkey finally couldn't help but asked, "Who are you?"

Ren Qinglian smiled: "I'm next Ren Qinglian."

As he said that, the Xueyi had already lowered a demon cloud and came in front of the three of them.

"Congratulations, Grandpa Great Sage, for escaping the sea of ​​suffering..." Halfway through the speech, he suddenly saw Ren Qinglian's appearance clearly, and said with a surprised expression: "Shangxian Qinglian is also here!"

Ren Qinglian knew that she would lose her words if she spoke too much, so she just nodded slightly.

Monkey's heart has already set off a huge wave: he really has another origin!

At the same time, she sent a voice transmission to Xuezhen: "Do you recognize him?"

Xue Yi didn't dare to hide anything, so she told the whole story back and forth.

Houzi became more and more uncertain about Ren Qinglian.

Ren Qinglian suddenly thought of something, found a monk's robe from her luggage and handed it to the monkey.

"My lord, this dress was specially prepared for you when I came here!"

Xuanzang couldn't help rolling his eyes when he heard this.Layman Ren didn't even frown when he told a lie. This monk's robe is clearly the monk's robe brought by Zhongjie'an from Shaolin Temple.

But the monkey happily took the robe and clasped his fists in thanks.

Ren Qinglian didn't even dare.

For a while, the two respected each other.

When Xuanzang saw the monkey in the monk's robe, he thought to himself that the monkey really looked like a monk, so he didn't want to expose Ren Qinglian's lies right now, but made up his mind in his heart that he must persuade Layman Ren well in the future , Lying is to be blamed by the Buddha!
The monkey talked to the Xueyi King for a while, telling him to practice well and not to cause trouble, then he and Ren Qinglian went west together.

Naturally, gossip was inevitable along the way, but Ren Qinglian always smiled and said nothing about her status as an immortal, and the monkey never figured out who the other party was.

But no matter what, Ren Qinglian took the initiative to show her favor. First, she removed the withered grass and fallen leaves covering his face, and then gave him a dry monk robe, which made him have a good impression of Ren Qinglian, and he answered every question along the way. , but let Ren Qinglian know many secrets of the world of immortals and demons.

Soon, the three of them crossed the Liangjie Mountains, and encountered a fierce tiger, roaring and cutting its tail.

According to the original script, the tiger's skin was used to hide the monkey's shame, but it is obviously useless now.

The monkey had been pinned under the mountain for more than five hundred years. Seeing that he finally had a chance to move his hands and feet, how could he let it go? He pulled out an embroidery needle from his ear, faced the wind, and turned into a monkey. With a thick iron rod, with a loud shout, it was about to hit the tiger on the head.

When Ren Qinglian saw it, she stopped her and said: "The great sage, don't hurt his life, save his life, this big cat is of great use."

The monkey groaned and thrust the iron rod into the ground, smashing a few stones to pieces.

Ren Qinglian's complexion remained unchanged, and she said with a smile: "The great sage made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace back then, and even the gods and Buddhas of the heavens were no match for him, so why should he be as knowledgeable as a big cat!"

Monkey had a good look on his face, but he was still a little unhappy, and he couldn't help asking: "You said you can save his life, what's the use?"

Ren Qinglian smiled and pointed to Xuanzang who was panting behind her.

After a day's long journey, the elder's pair of shoes almost collapsed.

"Master Xuanzang is not a practitioner after all. If he walks like this, he may be exhausted before he reaches Lingshan Mountain. How about taking this big tabby cat and giving him a walk?"

When the monkey just got out of trouble, he was so excited that he wanted to send the monk to the west with a somersault cloud, but Xuanzang said that it is important to be sincere in learning scriptures, not to be tricky.After a long time, he was already a little impatient with the slow pace of the other party. Hearing Ren Qinglian's proposal, he kept applauding, "Good idea, good idea!"

Xuanzang didn't expect Ren Qinglian to think of such a bad idea, but his complexion turned pale when he heard it.
