Chapter 6 It's all about the waves
After passing Huangfengling, there was a smooth road along the way. Chen Mang changed Zhu Bajie's thirty-six Tiangang to his hands without much effort, and became familiar with the various changes in the magic formula along the way.
Half a year passed in a blink of an eye, and the master and disciple walked west as usual. When they arrived at the river, they were suddenly blocked by a wide river.
Chen Mang stopped by the river and looked at it. He saw the river seemingly boundless, with turbulent waves on the water, deserted everywhere, and there was not even a ferry.
A stone tablet is erected on the shore with the words "Liusha River" written on it. The inscription below reads: "Eight hundred Liusha Realms, three thousand weak waters are deep. Goose feathers cannot rise, and reed flowers sink to the bottom."
"Oh, it turns out that we have arrived at the Liusha River."
Just as Chen Mang suddenly realized, waves suddenly rolled in the water, and a red-haired monster showed his head.
Zhu Bajie shouted: "Monster!" He waved his nine-toothed rake and hit him.
The monster held the shovel and fought with Bajie in the same place. He fought from the sky to the water, and then returned from the water to the sky. No one could do anything to each other for a moment, and he fought no matter how he won or lost.
After a while, Sun Wukong shouted loudly and smashed the monster's head with a stick!
Seeing that the situation was not good, the monster hurriedly got into the water and never showed up again.
Zhu Bajie blamed him with his fat belly, "Brother Monkey, I'm about to take him down, but I was beaten away by you!"
Sun Wukong smiled with a stick in his arms: "I, Old Sun, haven't fought with anyone for too long. Seeing you fighting so fiercely, I couldn't help it. "
The monster floated in the water and said to the two of you on the shore: "You two fight one, what good guys are you! That pig demon, if you have the ability, come down and fight me!"
Zhu Bajie said with his stomach straight: "If you have the ability, come up!"
"You come down!"
"Come up!"
"You come down!"
"Come up!"
Looking at the childish appearance of the two people, Chen Mang couldn't help but twitch the corners of his mouth, and came to the river and pushed Zhu Bajie away, slammed his fist at the river surface, shouting: "Ice Age!"
Suddenly a cold air came, and the entire river surface instantly condensed into ice. The monster who was still scolding Zhu Bajie froze into an ice sculpture in the blink of an eye.
Immediately afterwards, Chen Mang emitted several sword energy to cut the ice near the monster, and the monster slowly flew to the shore with the ice cubes under him.
The next moment, the surging weak water attacked again, smashing the ice condensed by Chen Mang, and instantly swept into the bottom of the river and disappeared.
Looking at the monk Sha who slowly recovered with his magic power, Chen Mang said, "I am a disciple from the Tang Dynasty in the East. Are you enlightened by Guanyin and want to protect me to go to the West to obtain the scriptures?"
Sha Seng nodded excitedly: "Master, my name is Sha Wujing, my disciple has finally waited for you to come!"
Chen Mang took out the sword to shave him, and said, "Sha Wujing, good name, your senior brother and second brother have been given nicknames by your master, so you can also give you one. Your surname is Sha, and you were frozen into an ice sculpture by your master just now. Why not just call it Sha Diao?"
Sha Seng smiled and said, "Thank you, Master."
Chen Mang laughed out loud and said, "Forget it, I think it's better to call Sha Seng and Sha Monk."
Sha Seng nodded and said, "Everyone listens to Master."
Chen Mang smiled and changed his clothes. Soon, the second monk in the group of Buddhists was born.
Looking at the vast river in front of him, Sha Monk volunteered: "Master, there is no boat in this quicksand river, I'll carry you across the river."
Chen Mang looked at Sha Seng faintly: "I never rely on boats to cross the river, I only rely on waves." As he said that, he stepped on the river with one leg and floated, and then a huge wave soared into the sky, holding Chen Mang towards the other side.
"This...this..."
Sha Seng was so shocked that his chin was about to fall. In his stunned expression, others also used their means to cross the eight hundred miles of quicksand river, which was said to be unable to float...
At the same time, in the sky thousands of miles away, four auspicious clouds floated above the sky, and four people stood on the clouds, dressed as monks and Taoists.
Looking at Chen Mang who was waving across the Liusha River, Lishan’s mother said meaningfully: “Is this the one you chose to seek the scriptures?”
Guanyin smiled slightly: "This Jinchanzi was originally a second disciple of the Buddha. Because he did not listen to the Buddha's teachings and was despised by the great teachings, he demoted his true spirit to the earth and be reborn in the East. If he could go to the West to obtain the scriptures and preach the Dharma, he would be able to take refuge again and become a Buddha with merit."
The old mother of Lishan sneered and said, "This Jinchanzi is a wonderful person. I think his Buddhism has its own school of Buddhism, and his mind is indestructible. You can give up the test of your heart."
Guanyin couldn't help but sigh slightly when she heard this: "The fixed number of ninety-nine eighty-one is less than one, which makes me embarrassed."
Li Shan’s mother smiled indifferently: “What’s the difficulty? Isn’t it just to send a few more mounts to the earth.”
Guanyin looked at the turbulent quicksand river from afar and said quietly: "I'm afraid these mounts will go but never return..."
Chen Mang, who had crossed the Liusha River, turned around and looked at Sun Wukong behind him: "Wukong, you have consumed too much magic power for your master and you are a little hungry. Go ahead to explore the way and see if there are any people. If not, just catch some jackals, tigers and leopards to eat."
"I'm going!"
Sun Wukong responded, and the clouds flew up, and soon turned back, and came to Chen Mang's body to report: "Master, there is a Wuzhuang Temple in front of you, where can you make some vegetarian food."
Chen Mang's eyes suddenly lit up: "It can be considered as a visit to Wuzhuang Temple. The owner of this Wuzhuang Temple is called Zhen Yuanzi, who is the ancestor of the earth immortals, also known as the King of the Shi Tongjun, and the ginseng fruit grass and elixir are his."
Sun Wukong was slightly surprised and said, "This Zhenyuanzi is such a big name. Why haven't I heard of his name before?"
Chen Mang said: "He is a great man who has existed since the beginning of heaven and earth. He is of the same generation as Sanqing. He has a strong magic power. Although his reputation is not obvious, don't underestimate him."
Sun Wukong and his friends became serious, and while listening to Chen Mang's popular science, they headed towards Wuzhuangguan.
Soon, the group came to Wuzhuang Temple. After passing the main entrance, two Taoist boys wearing Taoist robes greeted him. As if they had known that Tang Monk would come, they asked, "Is the person coming from the Tang Dynasty from the East Tu?"
Chen Mang smiled and nodded: "I'm fine."
Two Taoist boys reported their names, one was Qingfeng and the other was Mingyue, and respectfully brought their master and disciples to the main hall.
On the walls of the hall, there were the words "Heaven and Earth" decorated in colorful words, and there was an incense table below. Chen Mang walked over and lit three incense sticks, and then he was introduced into the wing room to rest.
Soon, two Taoist boys brought two ginseng fruits. Chen Mang smiled and sent Qingfeng and Mingyue out.
After a while, Sun Wukong and others came in together, and looked up and down around two ginseng fruits that looked like babies. Looking left and right, Zhu Bajie was even more greedy and drooling.
