Half a year later.

Gaocheng, at the gate of the Pure Land Temple.

"Amitabha."

Under the gaze of the monks, Abbot Mude pronounced the Buddha's name and asked, "Xuanzang, are you really planning to leave?"

"no way."

Xuanzang clasped his hands together and performed a Buddhist ritual. After saying, "These days, the list of gods has been urged to become tighter and tighter. Moreover, since I broke through to the middle stage of foundation building half a year ago, my cultivation has been no longer improved. I continued to stay in Pure Land Temple, which is just a waste of time."

——Since the Zhu Mansion incident half a year ago, Xuanzang has been practicing hard in the Pure Land Temple, hoping to break through to the late stage of foundation building as soon as possible.

However, during this period of time in Pure Land Temple, Xuanzang's cultivation level improved too rapidly, resulting in unstable foundation.

Therefore, no matter how hard he practices, it is difficult for him to improve his cultivation.

In addition, the List of the Gods has been urging Xuanzang to travel westward. In desperation, he had no choice but to embark on the road of "seeking Buddha" in advance.

also.

Since obtaining Zhu Gangli's ability to "desire illusion" has been done for half a year to fully integrate it.

Now he can easily retract this illusion ability.

Moreover, since the "Illusion of Desire" uses human emotions and six desires to generate illusions to defeat the enemy, Su Xing named this ability the "Illusion of Desires".

Outside the Pure Land Temple.

Seeing that Xuanzang was determined to leave, Abbot Mude said, "Elder Xuanzang, there are almost demons everywhere on the way to the extreme west... It would be better to bring me with me, which can help you some more."

Abbot Mude was originally a Buddhist practice in the late stage of foundation building, and was only one step away from the Golden Elixir Stage.

After receiving Su Xing's tips, he realized that he had the current early stage of the Golden Elixir stage.

For the Jindan stage monks, it is almost impossible to reach the sky by collecting the "black silk thread" by their own strength or relying solely on hard work.

Therefore, after learning about Xuanzang's "seeking Buddha", Abbot Mude had the idea of ​​following Su Xing and others to travel west.

Although the monkey has the best combat power, Abbot Mude did not help much when he traveled west.

But the other party was a Buddhist practitioner in the first Jindan stage. Even if he couldn't help much, he would at least not drag Su Xing and the other two down.

Taking this into consideration, the monkey responded to the request of the Mude Abbot.

So the westbound team expanded to four people from then on.

…

After leaving Gaocheng, Su Xing and the other four walked west along the official road.

Different from the settings in "Journey to the West".

Su Xing and his group did not need to go through the 'nine and eighty-one difficulties' when they traveled west.

Therefore, when passing through the "Lanruo Temple", "Baiguling", "Pansi Cave" and other places, Su Xing suggested that everyone avoid it from the long road.

Not only that.

When passing by the "Freshlysand River", Su Xing even cast a spell to build a earth bridge without risking crossing the river.

After walking like this for three months, the four of them were safe and sound...

Under the towering mountains.

The wood slowly landed on the ground along the clouds.

He said to Su Xing and the other two: "Two senior brothers, Elder Xuanzang, although the mountain in front is steep, the top of the mountain is flat, and there is also a city called "Pingding City", which doesn't look like there is something wrong."

Mude suggested: "Or...we might as well stop taking a detour and cross directly from the 'Pingding City'?"

In order to avoid demons as much as possible, Su Xing put forward a principle on the way:

That is, temples, cities, and pagodas are not included, and rivers, canyons, and hills can also take a detour, so try to get around it.

But the "Pingding City" ahead does not apply to this principle.

The road to the west is forbidden to fly.

Pingding Mountain has only one road leading to the top of the mountain, and the rest of the areas are majestic and steep. If you don’t use your magic power, you will not be able to walk there at all.

But if you use your magic power, you will be taboo to travel west.

In desperation, the monkey had no choice but to compromise: "Then why should we pass by 'Pingding City' as Mude said?"

Xuanzang nodded and agreed, "That's all."

But because Su Xing knew the plot of "Journey to the West", he always felt that there was danger on the top of the mountain.

For example, the golden horns and silver horns in the story of "Journey to the West"...

But Su Xing thought about it again and again that the gold and silver purple gold red gourd was already in his storage bag.

In addition, Pingding City is another human city, not a place where demons gather.

Considering this, Su Xing also agreed to Mude's proposal and said with great caution: "However, I always feel that the word "flat top" is not auspicious... Even if the Pingding City is not dangerous, you may encounter trouble when walking on the mountain road."

For example, a lotus hole suddenly appeared on the mountain road...

Su Xing continued: "So, we should do it step by step and be cautious."

"Not that, Su Xing, you're too empty." The monkey said speechlessly: "The four of us have been away in this wilderness for more than three months, sleeping in the open air. Don't you want to enjoy it in the Pingding City? Have some good food and have a good sleep?"

The monkey said with a relaxed look on his face: "That's a human city.... Zhu Ganglie turned into a demon before, but it was just an accident. We can't go to a city, so someone turned into a demon, right? There is no such coincidence in this world? Do you think we are in the storybook?"

"It's true."

Su Xing analyzed: "Unless someone deliberately harms us in secret, how can one connect two human cities, and all Buddhist practitioners become demons..."

In the story of "Journey to the West", Tang Monk's meat can live forever after eating it, so it is coveted by countless demons.

But on the birthday star, Xuanzang's flesh does not have this function. He is just a Buddhist practitioner selected by the Investiture of Gods.

Therefore, it is impossible for someone to make bad things in secret.

Because there is no motivation at all...

Along the mountain road, the group successfully entered the interior of Pingding City.

It was not until this time that Su Xing discovered that this city was a gathering place for cultivators who mainly worshipped the "longevity" statue and took the path to becoming immortals.

But this is reasonable:

In Dongsheng Shenzhou, there is a "Little Pure Land Temple" that was passed down from Xiniu Hezhou, who took the path of becoming a Buddha.

Then it is not surprising that you can see a place of cultivation where you can become an immortal or a god on Xiniu Hezhou.

The place where the immortal cultivators gather in Pingding City is called "Lotus Cave".

When he first entered the city, Su Xing was shocked when he heard these three words, and immediately went to the "Lotus Cave" to investigate.

But it was discovered that there were only two mid-stage foundation-building monks in this "Lotus Cave" and were elders in the sect.

The rest are all disciples who are just beginning to learn the Qi Refining Stage, and they are not afraid at all.

And those two elders are both people with good mentality, optimistic and positive attitude, and there is almost no possibility of becoming a demon.

After eliminating all possible dangers, Su Xing and the other two were able to stay in an inn in the city and wait until dawn before continuing on their way.

…

At night.

Lotus Cave in Pingding City, secret room.

Jinjiao knelt on the ground, and said tremblingly, "Taishang, I am just a mid-stage monk in the foundation building stage. It is a bit unrealistic for you to let me keep those four, right?"

Perhaps it was because he refused Laojun's entrusted.

As soon as Jinjiao finished speaking, he was immediately pressed to the ground by a huge force.

Under the influence of huge force, Jinjiao made a crackling sound like a burst of beans...

This is a sound that occurs when a human bone is squeezed and misaligned.

The pain caused by the huge force made the golden horn distort.
