Build the Traveler Alliance from scratch

As soon as these words came out, the journey to the West was completely decided, and the next trip finally officially started.

The Tathagata took out a brocade cassock, a nine-ring tin staff, and three gold hoops, a total of five treasures, and gave them to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"This cassock and tin staff are the most precious treasures of my Buddhism. They can be used by those who seek scriptures. If you are willing to come here with a firm mind, wear my cassock to avoid falling into reincarnation, and hold my tin staff to avoid being poisoned."

"As for these three golden hoops, they are called 'tightening hoops', and there are three tightening curses attached to them. If you encounter a demon with great magical powers on the road, you can use this to persuade him to learn well and become an apprentice with the Buddhist scripture seeker. If you don't listen, If you call me, put this hoop on his head, and he will see roots sprouting from his flesh. After chanting the incantation, his eyes will swell, his head will be split, and his forehead will be cracked. I will teach him to come into my house!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva took the treasure, bowed to the Buddha three times, and then left with his attendants on the lotus platform.

When the treasure was presented, all the immortals and Buddhas were watching, but when the tightening mantra was passed down, only Tathagata, Guanyin, and a very few people with great supernatural powers present could hear it.

Lin Zhongtian's heart moved, and he silently memorized the entire tightening curse in his heart.

There was another person with great supernatural powers present who also heard the tightening curse.

Lin Zhongtian seemed to be aware of it, and suddenly turned his gaze to the opposite side, looking at the disciple of Yuanshi Tianzun who was wearing a green robe.

Master Yuding also noticed Lin Zhongtian's gaze, and immediately smiled and nodded. There seemed to be nothing unusual.

When the Buddha's light blooming from Guanyin Bodhisattva disappears from the horizon, the Bon Festival will officially come to an end.

With Lin Zhongtian's support, Tathagata's goal of holding this grand meeting has basically been achieved.

A group of immortals witnessed the beginning of the journey to the West with their own eyes, and they all changed their minds and said goodbye. They wanted to report this matter to the forces and backers behind them as quickly as possible.

Master Huanglong, Master Taiyi and Master Yuding are no exception.

They said goodbye to Tathagata himself, and then left Lingshan by various means.

Only after they were thousands of miles away from Lingshan Mountain did the three real people manifest their bodies, ride on the auspicious clouds, and fly side by side.

Master Taiyi's face was solemn, and he asked via voice transmission: "Junior brother, what do you think?"

Master Yuding put his hands on his back, stepped on the auspicious clouds, and said with a fairy air: "Of course I stand and watch!"

"Two senior brothers, don't worry about it. Before you and I left the mountain, didn't our master say that this great catastrophe of journey to the west is the will of heaven and cannot be stopped. If the true scriptures are spread to the east, Buddhism will prosper... "

Taiyi Zhenren said somewhat unwillingly: "So we just don't do anything?"

Master Yuding smiled slightly and did not answer.

Master Huang Long glanced at him and said with a smile: "How do you know that we didn't do anything?"

"……oh?"

Master Taiyi raised his eyebrows and looked at them with some surprise.

Master Huang Long coughed and changed the subject: "Okay, let's not talk about this anymore, let's talk about Emperor Zhongtian!"

"He has a small force under his command. I've heard about it, but I didn't expect that he could actually find a strange beast from the ancient times that I didn't even recognize. That hornless black dragon as big as a Kunpeng does have an extremely weird energy in it. The dragon spirit, but I just can’t understand, what kind of dragon is he?”

Master Huang Long was full of doubts and couldn't help but ask: "Two junior brothers, do you have any clues?"

Master Yuding and Master Taiyi looked at each other and shook their heads.

Master Taiyi said softly: "The hornless black dragon is indeed miraculous, with rich blood and strong qi and blood, comparable to the direct son of the ancestral dragon, but in the final analysis, he is just a golden immortal, so it is harmless."

"In comparison, what I care more about is Emperor Zhongtian."

"The aura of this person is consistent with the Tao, and the charm of the Tao is extremely strong. Forgive me for being offended, I even feel that he is closer to the Tao than Master, Uncle, and others..."

Master Yuding nodded and said solemnly: "The most peculiar thing is that this situation is not caused by cultivation, but a kind of identity and personality, just like the Great God Pangu before the creation of the sky, and Jiu Bu Just like the living master!"

Master Huang Long couldn't help but asked: "What is his origin?"

Master Yuding shook his head: "Who knows, but I finally know why Heavenly Court and Buddhism want to win over him..."

"Yeah, I finally understand it too!"

Master Taiyi nodded with emotion, then was slightly startled and looked at the jade tripod in surprise.

"Wait a minute, Junior Brother Yuding, when did you change into your external incarnation, where is this person?"

"Shh!"

Master Yuding quickly sent a message to explain: "Two senior brothers, I have something else that I need to handle, so please don't make any noise and just take me back to Yuxu Mountain to recover!"

"……here we go again!"

Master Huang Long shook his head helplessly and sighed: "Mysterious."

…

…

Looking south to Buzhou, at the foot of Wuxing Mountain.

An old man with a wooden stick in his hand, a white beard and a childish face was walking on the road, heading towards the mountains ahead step by step.

At this moment, a young woodcutter caught a glimpse of him and quickly called him to his side, pulling him to the roadside and telling him not to move forward any further.

The old man looked at him in surprise and asked, "Why?"

The woodcutter said with a smile: "I don't know something, but this mountain was originally called Five Elements Mountain. A few years ago, I, the Great Tang Dynasty Khan, conquered the Xiding Kingdom, and the army stopped here, so it was renamed Liangjie Mountain."

"I heard word of mouth from the elders that this mountain fell from the sky when Wang Mang usurped the Han Dynasty."

"There is a divine monkey pressing down at the foot of the mountain. It is not afraid of hunger, thirst, heat or cold, and it is supervised by the mountain god."

"If mortals approach easily, they may be in trouble!"

"Oh?" the old man asked with interest, "Where did such rumors come from?"

The woodcutter showed hesitation when he heard this. After a moment, he sighed: "To tell you the truth, there was no such statement before. Until about half a month ago, sudden changes occurred here, and the situation changed. A mountain god appeared and warned us not to go near Five Elements Mountain."

"I see!"

The old man's face showed surprise, and he immediately took out five red jujubes and said with a smile: "Thank you for your kind words, brother. I have five jujubes picked on the road here. They taste quite sweet, so I gave them to me as a return gift. Bar!"

The woodcutter was startled for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly: "How can this be done!"

The old man shook his head and stuffed five big dates into the woodcutter's arms.

"It's just a few dates, not gold, silver or jewelry."

"...That's true."

The woodcutter thought about this and accepted the jujube.

The old man raised his hand to stroke his beard, and with a smile on his face, he said: "Five jujubes correspond to the five people in your family. Remember to share one jujube with each person. Don't eat too much, as eating too much is useless."

The woodcutter smiled and thanked me jokingly: "Thank you very much, husband!"

After saying that, he suddenly realized something was wrong. How could this stranger in front of him know that there were five people in his family?

Thinking of this, the woodcutter's eyes widened and he quickly raised his head, wanting to ask.

But at this time, the old man holding the wooden stick had disappeared before his eyes. No matter how he looked, he could not find any trace of him.

Only then did the woodcutter realize that he had bumped into an immortal.

He stood there stunned for a while, then knelt down and bowed in all directions, then hurriedly stood up, carefully put away the five jujubes, turned around and hurried towards home.

On the other side, Sun Wukong was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain. He seemed to be looking at the sunset on the horizon in a daze, but in fact he was focusing all his attention on a very special monkey hair on the back of his head.

Ever since he met Lin Zhongtian, this monkey hair has been stuck in his head and in his heart.

If there is anything that Sun Wukong misses the most at this stage, it must be the carefree apprenticeship time at Lingtai Fangcun Mountain and Xieyue Sanxing Cave.

And the person he cares about most at this time must be his mentor - Patriarch Bodhi.

Therefore, when Sun Wukong discovered that a great supernatural being who was even more terrifying than Buddha was eyeing his master, it became difficult for him to calm down.

He tried to study the monkey hair on his head, but the Buddha's seal was still there, and Sun Wukong was unable to do anything with all his magic power and magical powers.

For more than half a month, Sun Wukong not only failed to gain anything, he was not even able to shake the monkey hair and see its true appearance.

"Wu——Kong——"

At this moment, a familiar and long voice sounded in his heart.

Sun Wukong was startled for a moment, then couldn't help but feel excited and his eyes filled with tears.

"...Master!"

Tears evaporated from Sun Wukong's eyes, and he excitedly shouted out those long-lost words in his heart.

The voice sighed softly and replied: "Today, the earth has changed greatly, and the heaven and earth are in chaos. I will keep my words short and will not exchange greetings with you anymore."

Sun Wukong calmed down his turbulent mood and said in his heart: "...Master, tell me!"

The voice said calmly: "The Tathagata has held the Bon Meeting in Lingshan Mountain and made plans for the journey to the west. Wukong, the time has come for you to escape from trouble, but there will be countless difficulties, obstacles, and conspiracies on this trip."

"My teacher doesn't want to see you suffer any injustice, so I'll give you a scripture to solve your problems."

"When the sutra collector arrives, you will know the meaning of this sutra!"

At this point, the voice began to teach Sun Wukong spells and scriptures.

Sun Wukong listened carefully and engraved it in his heart, remembering it exactly.

After the teaching was completed, the voice sighed softly: "Today's situation is chaotic, and I don't know yet. I don't know whether teaching this sutra to you is good or bad. When disaster strikes, how you choose depends on you!"

After saying that, the voice completely disappeared and never appeared again.

Sun Wukong urgently called "Master" several times in his heart, but received no response.

In desperation, he had no choice but to put away his thoughts and silently recall the problem-solving scripture.

At the same time, in a place where neither the Earth Mountain God nor the five directions were aware of, an old man with white beard and white hair and a childlike face, holding a wooden stick, stood under a pine tree, looking at the monkeys under the Five Elements Mountain, and sighed quietly. .

He turned around and was about to escape quietly.

At this moment, an unexpected figure appeared in front of him.

"Good evening!" The handsome young man looked at the old man with a half-smile, "Master Yuding~"
