Li Fu replied, "When the heart arises, all kinds of demons arise. When the mind dies, all kinds of demons perish."

"All kinds of difficulties on the road are all tests."

"But if you feel it is a difficulty and stop there, then it is a real difficulty."

"But if you don't feel the difficulty in your heart and keep moving forward, you will be able to obtain the true scripture."

"Everyone also knows that I am the son of the Holy Emperor, and I once made great aspirations in Chang'an City."

"If I want to be in the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there will be no demons and there will be peace and joy."

"This is my wish, I am willing to suffer disaster with my body, and my liver and brain will be wiped out."

All the monks realized something after listening to it, and they all praised it.

Make a bed for Li Fu and ask him to rest.

The waning moon sets in the west, and the rooster crows early.

The monks in the temple have morning classes and fast.

After Li Fuzhai said goodbye, the monks were reluctant to leave and sent each other off for more than ten miles.

A few days later, the three of them arrived at Gongzhou City.

Officials in the city welcomed him and settled him in, rested for one night, and left the city the next day.

After traveling for a few more days, we arrived at Hezhou Guard.

This is the border of the Tang Dynasty.

The soldiers stationed here, as well as a group of monks, were all here to welcome him.

Supplies a change of clothes and is ready to advance.

Before Li Futianming set off, he said to his two followers, "The road ahead is just outside the border of our Tang Kingdom. The dangers have doubled, and it may not be as safe as the territory. The two followers will disband and go back to resume their lives."

The two thousand-mile travelers shook their heads in disbelief.

Li Fu gave a strong order, and the two followers saw Li Fu leaving the customs alone and continuing westward.

Now we have entered late autumn, the days are short and the nights are long.

Beyond the country’s borders lie high mountains.

Even though Li Fu was holding a map, he was still extremely cautious for fear of taking the wrong path.

One person and one horse, digging through the grass to find the path, moving forward slowly.

I saw a strong wind rolling in, and dozens of monsters with animal heads and human bodies walking across the mountain.

Li Fu and his horse were surrounded and captured.

Although Li Fu had known this for a long time, he could see that the Demon King was tall and had protruding fangs. When he spoke, he spit out foul smell and his body trembled instinctively.

Li Fugang calmed down when he suddenly heard the noise and noise from the surrounding area.

I saw two monsters striding in, one behind the other.

The monster in the front looks like a giant man with black skin, and the monster in the back has two horns, which is also extraordinary.

The demon leader quickly stood up to greet him and even said hello to the black-skinned demon.

Li Fu took a closer look and realized that the demon king was a tiger spirit, and the black-skinned man was a bear monster.

The tiger spirit exchanged greetings with him, "Xiong Shanjun, how are you doing today, Special Administrative Officer?"

Xiong Shanjun replied, "I have been vegetarian in recent days."

The three monsters sat on the floor and chatted loudly.

Suddenly I heard Li Fu's horse moaning and neighing.

Xiong Shanjun asked, "Where did General Yin come from?"

The tiger spirit replied, "The horse and this man came to the door on their own initiative."

The special agent asked, "If this is the case, can it be used for entertaining?"

General Yin said, "Of course."

Xiong Shanjun said, "Don't eat them all. You should eat one and save the other. In my opinion, I will eat the horses and save the humans."

The demons and evil spirits grabbed each other like sharp knives and killed the horses.

The big monster eats its flesh, and the little monster drinks its blood.

Ruying hair and drinking blood makes me happy.

Li Fuwang ate until late at night, when the moon was shining brightly, and then he fell asleep.

When I woke up the next day, the demon was nowhere to be found.

This open space is like a campsite after a picnic. Although it is quite messy, there is no trace of the demon anymore.

Li Fuzhi is one of the hardships.

He was neither panicked nor afraid, and quietly searched for his luggage and packages.

Only the cassock, tin staff, purple gold alms bowl, and customs clearance document were missing.

He was a little anxious when he suddenly saw an old man appearing over there.

The old man came with a stick and asked Li Fu what he was looking for.

Li Fu introduced himself to his family and said, "I am a monk from the Tang Dynasty, and I am going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. Unexpectedly, I encountered a demon just after I left the Tang Dynasty."

"The luggage documents are missing and I am looking for the lost items."

The old man said, "When I came here just now, I saw a horse and some luggage there. I wonder if it is what you are looking for."

Li Fu followed and saw the silver-haired horse and luggage tied by the tree.

Li Fu originally remembered that the horse had been eaten alive by monsters, how could it be so vivid?

After he thought about it, he already knew roughly.

I'm afraid it wasn't him who dismissed the two travelers in advance and messed up the disaster arrangements.

The monster had no one to eat, so he ate the horses, but his journey to the West on foot was like a fool's dream.

In this way, another similar horse was arranged to wait here.

As if to test his idea, Li Fu asked the old man, "Is this Shuangcha Ridge? Is this the place where tigers and wolves den?"

The old man seemed surprised and curious. He asked, "How do you know?"

Li Fu rummaged through his luggage and found a map. He said, "The map indicates where this is. But I don't want to encounter disaster as soon as I leave the country."

He asked the old man curiously, "Why are you here?"

The old man waved the dust in his hand, and the white crane came.

He rode a crane and said, "I am Taibai Jinxing in the Western Sky. I know you are in trouble today, so I am here to help you. You will encounter many disasters along the way. But don't complain, they will all be helpful. I will leave now that you are safe."

”

Taibaijinxing said and flew to the sky.

Li Fu thanked Taibai Jinxing and walked slowly with his horse in hand.

The road in the mountains seems far away, but after four or five hours of walking down, it has only climbed two or three hills, and it is already dark.

Li Fu gathered the dry firewood, took the tinder in his arms, and lit the bonfire.

As the firewood crackled, Li Fu heated up a few pieces of dry food, fell asleep, and got up early to continue on his way.

On this day, we traveled dozens of miles.

Still no people in sight.

Suddenly, the branches shook, and there seemed to be the sound of tigers roaring in the forest.

Li Fu held a nine-ringed tin staff, thinking that it might be able to kill tigers.

I saw a man with a steel fork and a cluster of arrows hanging from his waist. He was cooking the tiger in twos and twos, peeling the skin and removing the meat. He was extremely skillful.

When Orion was about to leave, Li Fu called out, "Donor, please stay."

Li Fu leads his horse to meet the Orion.

I saw that the Orion leader must have a leopard-print fur hat, a cashmere coat, an animal tail tied around his waist as a belt, and a pair of deerskin boots on his feet.

This person has round eyes and thick eyebrows. He is not angry and intimidating, and has a rather reckless temperament.

The man was holding a steel fork to see what was coming.

Discovering that it was a monk who had no strength to tie a chicken, he put his steel fork on the ground and said with a gentle expression, "Elder, don't be afraid, I am the hunter here. My surname is Liu Mingboqin, and others call me Zhenshan Taibao."

"I'm just here to look for the meat of big insects to eat. Don't be afraid."

Li Fu returned the courtesy and said hello, then said, "Hello, strong man. I am a monk from the Tang Dynasty who went to the West to obtain scriptures. My surname is Li, my name is Fu, and my Buddhist name is Tripitaka."

"I just encountered a tiger. More eunuchs are here to save me from water and fire."

Liu Boqin said, "Elder, there is no need to thank you. Although this place has passed the pass of our Tang Dynasty, it is still the land of our Tang Dynasty and the territory of our Tang Dynasty."

"The elders and I are people who drink from the water and soil of our country."

"Elder, don't be afraid, come home with me and rest."

"Early tomorrow morning, I will send the elder on his way without any risk."
