Rebirth of Journey to the West

Let us say that the first big mountain in Xiniuhezhou is Mount Xumi in Tianzhu Kingdom. It is surrounded by three thousand yojanas (one yojana = forty miles) and is tens of thousands of feet high, second only to Kunlun. Thousands of miles to the west from Mount Sumeru is Lingshan. The Bodhisattva guarding the mountain is called Lingji Bodhisattva. He is a great sage who was ordered by the Buddha to build Mount Sumeru. The Buddha promised him that Maitreya Buddha would be enthroned as a great treasure on Mount Sumeru in the future, and Lingji Bodhisattva would be the future Buddha of Lingji.

Zhu Ganglie ordered Jingwei to move the Hundred Thousand Mountains to the border of Tianzhu, which had already fallen into the eyes of Lingji Bodhisattva. When the Bodhisattva saw that the Hundred Thousand Mountains surrounded the west so tightly that even birds could not fly in, he could not help but turn purple with anger. , when he was about to challenge him, he thought he was no match for Zhu Ganglie and the six-eared macaque, so he ordered someone to guard the mountain gate and set off to Lingshan Mountain to seek instructions from the Buddha.

As soon as he left, the Bull Demon King and others followed him in behind. The old cow saw Red Boy when he was in Zimu River, and received Zhu Ganglie's instructions to let the nine-headed insect keep a close eye on Mount Sumeru. Lingji Bodhisattva had already fallen into the eyes of the nine-headed insect. As soon as he left, the old cow turned into the appearance of Lingji Bodhisattva and appeared in the Daughter's Kingdom. The entire Daughter's Kingdom came to pay homage to the Bodhisattva. Lao Niu arrogantly used his magic to take away the Fetus Spring and arrived at Mount Sumeru. None of the Vajras guarding the mountain could see his true face and allowed him to walk into the mountain.

The Bull Demon King planted the birth spring on the top of the mountain and sneaked out. When the millions of women in the Daughter Kingdom saw Lingji Bodhisattva snatching away the Spring of Rebirth, they cried to heaven and earth and begged Immortal Ruyi to take back the Spring of Rebirth. Ruyi Zhenxian, with awe-inspiring righteousness, took Sha Wujing, the male cockroach and the nine-headed insect to Mount Sumeru and had a melee with King Kong who guarded the mountain, regardless of victory or defeat.

The Vajras fought with these monsters inexplicably. They were puzzled, thinking that these monsters were trying to seize the top of the mountain, so they fought even harder.

Ruyi Zhenxian and others had already received instructions from Zhu Ganglie. The thunder was loud and the rain was light. They only shouted to attack, making the noise known to passers-by, but in fact they did not use their full strength. Just waiting for Zhu Ganglie to complete the arrangements and gather a hundred thousand old demons to gather on Mount Xumi.

There are many demons in Xiniu Hezhou. If it weren't for Zhu Ganglie's troubles, these old demons would have been unknown until they died of old age. At this moment, Zhu Ganglie snatched them away from the top of the mountain. The demon kings, emperors, and saints couldn't bear it anymore, and they gathered together, gradually forming Like a torrent, it goes to the west. But over the entire Xiniu Hezhou, monster clouds were rolling in, overwhelming the sky, and countless old monsters were calling their friends, preparing to march to the west.

These old demons gradually condensed into three forces. One is the Taoist monsters headed by King Qingniu Si, Old Demon Huanglong and Jiuling Yuan Sheng. These monsters are often mounts of gods. Either due to negligence or intentional indulgence, they become demons in the lower world. .

The second group is the Western Buddhist monsters headed by the Yellow-browed Old Buddha, the Green-haired Lion Monster and the Long-nosed White Elephant. Most of these monsters are Western Buddhist Dharma Protectors, Vajras, and Ming Kings. Some of them are related to Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, and are also known as The Buddhas and Bodhisattvas indulged themselves and turned into demons in the lower world. They either caused disasters with Tang Monk, or deliberately caused them to cause harm to the world, and then went to Lingshan to conquer them in order to enhance their reputation in the world and develop the power of Buddhism.

The third force is the scattered monsters headed by the three brothers Bihan, Bishu, and Bichen and the Hundred-Eyed Demon King. This type of monsters often have neither high nor low magical powers and specializes in cultivation, but they should not be underestimated because they have the largest number. . There are countless ancient giant monsters in Xiniu Hezhou, but these guys are lazy and indifferent by nature. When the blue luan bird moves the mountain, they don't move at all. They hide in the cave and sleep, letting her capture the mountain. .

When these three forces came together, there were inevitable disputes. There was a small fight every three days and a big fight every five days. The blood flowed like a river, and even half of the journey was not completed in a month. The leaders of the demon clan said worriedly: "Now that we can't reach Tianzhu Kingdom, I'm afraid we will kill each other and die." The ten leaders gathered together to discuss and said: "There is no rule without rules. Let's make a rule and then go to the west to find it." That pig monster is unlucky!”

The ten people discussed it for a day and finally came up with the regulations. Fighting with weapons was strictly prohibited on the Western Road. Fighting was allowed, but magic weapons could not be used, otherwise they would be killed immediately.

After killing several knowing monsters, all the demons were frightened, and then they calmed down and headed towards the west. There were so many of these old demons, and they were all big eaters. Wherever they passed, there were no humans or animals, no grass grew, and even the river water was drunk.

What is lacking in the western part of Xiniu Hezhou is fresh water. There have been years of drought. Monsters with high cultivation levels are naturally not affected. Those with low cultivation levels are still forced to dig hundreds of meters in the ground to find water sources.

The weather was getting hotter that day, and all the old monsters stopped riding clouds and hid in the shade of trees to enjoy the coolness and avoid the sun. Suddenly, there was only a thunderclap, and the sky was clear. In the blink of an eye, a dark cloud flew over and stopped above the heads of the demons. The thunderbolts flashed and it started to rain.

One hundred thousand old demons all shouted: "Good rain, good rain!" They opened their big mouths to catch the rainwater. King Qingniu Si and other old demons saw it. Although they thought the heavy rain was strange, they couldn't stop it and could only let them go.

"This rainwater is a little sweet! Could it be that some dragon god saw that we were hungry and thirsty and brought nectar from the sky?"

The heavy rain only lasted for a stick of incense. The dark clouds dispersed and the sky was as blue as a wash. King Qingniu Si's sharp eyes saw a nine-clawed dragon flying secretly between the clouds and mist. Qingniu quickly flew forward and followed him for a hundred miles. The more he looked, the more familiar he felt, and he asked tentatively: "King of Dragon Demon, where are you going?"

After hearing this, the dragon covered his face with his claws and ran away in panic. King Qingniu Si sneered, stopped in front of him on a cloud, grabbed his paw, and shouted: "Stop pretending to be a ghost, you are the only one in the world who has such a big body, the North Sea dragon!"

The Jiao Demon King had no choice but to release his claws and said with a smile: "It's none of my business. It was my young master who asked me to make clouds and rain. If you want revenge, go find him!"

King Qing Niu Si was puzzled and asked, "Is there something strange in the rain?"

The Jiao Demon King's eyes fluttered and he said with a smile: "Niu Si, you didn't drink this rainwater?"

"I practice the authentic immortal method. I have already gone away from grains. I don't eat meat or grains. I only eat cypress meal dew to refine essence and nourish Qi. This rain has an abnormal origin, so I am too lazy to drink it!"

The Jiao Demon King breathed a sigh of relief and said with a smile: "That's good." Fu'er spoke in detail and whispered: "I've told you what happened. Don't be too talkative and go around saying that I did it, otherwise my reputation will be hard to protect! "

Qingniu fought for more than a dozen times in a row, shouting: "Vicious, vicious!" He caught the Jiao Demon King and said: "Good brother, if you ask me to take a hundred thousand pregnant women to the West, won't you kill me? Please do so. Show me a clear path, or I will spread the word about your good deeds!"

The Jiao Demon King's original intention was to lure him out. Seeing that the old cow was worried, he whispered: "Brother Zhu Ba wants to join forces with you." Seeing no one around, he whispered: "I guess you have also heard about the chaos of heaven and the Holy Spirit. People are going to confer gods again. The big bosses have not yet decided on the canonization list. Brother Zhu Ba asked me to deliberately lure you out and send you a message: If you can help him once, even if your name appears on the canonization list, he can keep it. You are safe."

King Qingniu Si was overjoyed and looked around, whispering: "I have also heard from my master about this matter. Zhu Ganglie is the one who deserves the disaster. Many people are on the list. I have long been willing to ask for it." They are just not familiar with each other. This relationship is good, what exactly does Brother Zhu Baxian want from me?"

The Jiao Demon King explained the matter in detail and said: "The Fountain of Rebirth has been hung on Mount Sumeru. All you have to do is say that Lingji Bodhisattva is responsible for killing hundreds of thousands of demons and instigating them to find Lingji Bodhisattva's bad luck, and great things will be done." ”

Qing Niu smiled and said: "This is a simple matter." After bidding farewell to the Jiao Demon King, he came to the group of monsters and saw that the monsters who had drunk the rainwater were all full-bellied and screaming. These monsters also had some knowledge and knew that the water of the Zimu River had been plotted by others. King Qing Niu Si fanned the flames and said: "I just saw Lingji Bodhisattva sneaking past the clouds."

Some of these old demons believed it, and some didn't. When they arrived at the Daughter's Kingdom, they saw everyone in the Daughter's Kingdom crying and cursing, saying that Lingji Bodhisattva had robbed the Rebirth Spring, and then they believed it.

"The Lingji bald donkey who was killed with a thousand cuts and scraped with a thousand cuts, we have provoked you and are you going to do this?"

One hundred thousand old demons were so powerful that they rushed towards Mount Sumeru in the clouds and fog. .
