Chapter 492 Taibai Jinxing: It Is Normal for Civil Servants to Be Able to Fight, Right? [Seeking Monthly Votes]

"Elder Tang, this is Hezhou Wei Fuyuan Temple!"

In the setting sun, Xuanzang rode a white horse, led by Hezhou Wei officials, to the entrance of a local temple, preparing to rest here for a night and hit the road again early tomorrow morning.

Xuanzang got off his horse and thanked the officials. The novice monk in the temple took the horse away and took the two porters to a side yard to rest.

The abbot of the temple led the monks and went out to greet Xuanzang. He also prepared various kinds of meals for Xuanzang.

"I'm causing trouble for you all."

Xuanzang bowed and recited the scriptures silently before sitting down and starting to eat.

The abbot of the temple read Xuanzang's customs clearance document and returned it with both hands, his words full of respect:

"I didn't expect that the holy monk is actually your majesty's sworn brother. It is really my blessing to be able to come to this temple!"

Xuanzang took the ultimatum and stuffed it into the backpack given by Li Yu, smiled and said a few polite words, and continued to eat his vegetarian meal.

After the meal, he preached scriptures to everyone as usual and elaborated on some core concepts of Buddhism. It was not until night fell that he entered the Zen room to prepare for a rest.

Before going to bed, he took out his mobile phone and read the original text of the electronic version of "Journey to the West".

"After Fuyuan Temple is the territory of the three demons of Gongzhou. Wouldn't the two porters be eaten soon?"

After understanding the core essence of Buddhist scriptures, Xuanzang was no longer afraid of traveling westward, but he could not bear the thought of his entourage being eaten.

"The purpose of praying to Buddha and seeking scriptures is to do good deeds. How can you waste other people's lives?"

Xuanzang thought about it again and again and came up with a plan.

At the fourth watch of the next day, as the rooster crows, Xuanzang gets dressed and gets up.

After putting on cassocks, we came to the side yard. Two porters had also woken up. One was packing luggage and the other was feeding water to the white horse. When they saw Xuanzang, they quickly saluted.

Xuanzang opened the zipper of his backpack, took out two gold ingots, and handed them to the porters:

"We have already left the border of Tang Dynasty. You two can be sent here. The poor monk can walk the rest of the way by himself. Please keep these two gold ingots. In the future, you can marry a wife and have children to make a living. Our acquaintance is not in vain. One game.”

The two porters quickly knelt down and asked if they had offended the elder.

Xuanzang smiled and said:

"You two are very good, and you have taken good care of this poor monk along the way. But as the saying goes, our fate has come to an end, and it is time for you to take another path."

These two people were destined to die violently. Xuanzang was worried that driving them away would cause other accidents to happen to them, so he asked them to sit down cross-legged. He specially recited a passage from the Diamond Sutra to strengthen their spirits. Then I recited the "Peacock Sutra" to pray for the blessing of the Peacock King, and finally the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" to ask my senior brother Ksitigarbha to take care of me.

After reciting the three verses, it was already past the fifth watch. The soup and rice in the temple were ready. After eating, the two porters made baggies from their luggage and hung them on the horses. They knelt down and kowtowed to Xuanzang in farewell.

However, the two of them did not plan to go far, but stayed near Hezhou Weifuyuan Temple:

"The two of us followed His Majesty's order to go west with the holy monk to collect scriptures. Now that the holy monk insists on going alone, we will stay here and wait for the holy monk to return from collecting scriptures, and then we will return to Chang'an together!"

These words not only touched Monk Tang, but also the gods such as Ksitigarbha, Zhang Daoling and Taibai Jinxing who were secretly protecting him also sighed repeatedly.

Ksitigarbha also specifically asked Cui Jue to extend the lives of the two of them, and when they returned from studying for Buddhist scriptures, he would also allow them to show their faces in Chang'an and enjoy the wealth of the world.

Saying goodbye to the two porters and the monks of Fuyuan Temple, Xuanzang mounted a white horse and embarked on the westward journey alone.

It was late autumn at this time, heavy fog filled the air, the grass on the roadside had turned yellow, and there was still a thin layer of frost hanging on it. Xuanzang said to himself as he walked:

"With such a solemn look, it really looks like a disaster is coming."

Twenty miles westward, a man and a horse walked into the mountains. There was no road ahead. They had to push through the weeds to find it slowly. As they were walking, the white horse's feet were empty, and Xuanzang, the man and the horse, fell into a huge pit.

"Hahahaha, another prey has been delivered to the door. Guys, hurry up and bring the prey up. I am going to treat Mr. Bear Tiger and the Special Agent to dinner at noon!"

"Got the order!"

Soon, a group of ferocious fairies came to the trap and pulled Xuanzang, the white horse and their luggage out.

Everyone pushed Xuanzang into a cave. Xuanzang saw the mountain king here. He was actually a monster with the head of a tiger and the body of a tiger. He looked ferocious and terrifying, with a stature of five to three inches. His whole body exuded a fishy smell.

"Your Majesty, he is a bald monk!"

"Huh? Monk? That's great. Monk is a vegetarian, and the meat is more tender. It's suitable for steaming and eating with garlic paste..."

Just as he was talking, two goblins came outside, one with a bull head and a body, nearly three meters tall, and the other with a bear head and a body, as strong as a hill.

They are obviously fairies, but they greet each other like humans.

The bear-headed goblin bowed his hands to the tiger-headed goblin:

"General Yin, how have you been lately?"

"Very good. We have captured another monk. How is the tiger doing lately?"

The bear-headed goblin patted his belly:

"It's good, but I haven't eaten meat for a long time and I'm really hungry."

Upon hearing this, the tiger-headed demon raised his head and smiled:

"Today, let's steam this monk and eat it with garlic paste. I'm sure the tiger will enjoy it!"

After saying that, he exchanged a few words with the bull-headed goblin who claimed to be a virgin, with a hint of embarrassment in his voice, and repeatedly emphasized that he should steam it and eat it with garlic paste.

Xuanzang: "..."

Are you meeting a garlic lover?

Why don’t you say anything without dipping it in garlic paste?

At this time, the little demons started to boil water. Xuanzang found that Taibai Jinxing had not come to save him yet, so he muttered to himself:

"Isn't there any triggering condition needed?"

He recalled the content in the original work, and it seemed that every time he encountered this situation, he would cry and complain... Could this be the triggering condition?

Thinking that his senior brother was probably squatting with a group of immortals to observe in secret at this time, Xuanzang not only couldn't cry, but even wanted to laugh a little.

But when the little demon carried him to the steamer, Xuanzang finally couldn't help it anymore:

"It's a pity that I made a great wish to obtain the true scriptures, but it was lost here. It's really miserable!"

General Yin, who was drinking tea with two friends in the distance, heard this and joked with a smile:

"What a monk, he actually wants to learn Buddhist scriptures... It's really hard for such an aspiring monk to eat. Guys, use a gentle fire!"

The meat steamed over slow fire is more tender and more delicious when dipped in minced garlic.

Several little demons agreed and were just about to take off Xuanzang's clothes, clean them and steam them in a pot, when suddenly a golden light burst out in the dim cave, and a Taoist priest with white beard and hair and white robes appeared from the golden light. With a flick of the whisk, the rope on Xuanzang's body automatically disconnected.

With another flick of the whisk, Xuanzang arrived outside the cave. At the door was his white horse, carrying luggage on its back, snoring impatiently, as if what he had just experienced was a dream.

"Is this difficulty over?"

Xuanzang straightened his cassock and led the horse forward, intending to leave the tiger's den first. The smell here was really unpleasant.

As soon as he left, Taibai Jinxing in the tiger's den took action.

At this time, this good old man from heaven took a fly whisk and went on a killing spree. The little demon who had just pushed Xuanzang and even touched Xuanzang's head was not spared. They were all beaten to death by Taibaijinxing.

Seeing the old man's violent appearance, General Yin turned his hands into sharp tiger claws and took the initiative to attack:

"Where did the stinky Taoist priest dare to run wild on my territory?"

The expected monk's dip in garlic paste was gone. General Yin was very angry. He roared like a tiger and wanted to tear Taibai Jinxing alive.

Special Agent and Xiong Shanjun are very understanding:

"If the monk is gone, he will be gone. The same goes for eating this Taoist priest. He is too old to be chewy."

Zhang Daoling and Ji Zang, who were watching in mid-air, were all happy. They never thought that the three demons of Gongzhou were all fucking gourmets...

Zhang Daoling said:

"Such a monster, it would be a pity to kill it and throw it away. I will take it away later and let Empress Yunxiao process it into delicacies and send it to the real world to share with His Highness the Holy Son."

Ksitigarbha is a vegetarian and is not interested in such things. Instead, he has doubts about Lao Zhang’s motives:

"You don't want to curry favor with the new Holy Princess, Empress Yunxiao, do you?"

Zhang Daoling didn’t hide anything:

"Who wouldn't want to curry favor with a top-notch Daluo who is only one step away from being a saint? In the future, when Wukong encounters a disaster, he may need the cross-border help of Empress Yunxiao."

Upon hearing this, Ksitigarbha quickly clasped his hands together:

"Empress Yunxiao knows how to advance and retreat, is sensible, and has a kind heart. She is indeed a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Holy Son."

Zhang Daoling grinned:

"You are too smooth to be a monk."

Ksitigarbha sighed slightly:

"After Master named me the future Buddha, the young monk once asked him what to pay attention to when becoming a Buddha. He asked me to forget about Buddhist principles. The more tactful I am, the more prosperous Buddhism will be."

Xuanzang, a technical talent who studied Buddhism, could devote himself to studying Buddhism.

But as a Buddha, you need to frequently communicate with the outside world, establish good relations with all forces in the heaven, and be good at sorting out internal conflicts. This cannot be done by relying on Buddhist teachings, but must be diplomatic.

Management ability and business ability are two different things. Now Ksitigarbha must make this change so that Buddhism can go further.

While the two were talking about this, the fighting in the cave had already extended outside.

Even though Taibai Jinxing's old arms and legs are shaking every step and looking like they are about to fall apart at any moment, every time they make a move, they can make the three demons of Gongzhou scream in agony.

During the fight, Taibai Jinxing deliberately failed to restrain his divine power, so that all the little demons around him disappeared under the impact of the divine power, and even their souls were gone.

This is the strength of heavenly civil servants.

The situation was not good, the old man was getting fiercer and fiercer as he fought... Xiong Shanjun winked at the special officer, and then abandoned General Yin and ran away without any sense of loyalty.

Taibai Jinxing waved his hand, and two silk threads separated from the whisk, which quickly became larger and longer. They tied Xiong Shanjun and Special Agent tightly and hung them upside down on a nearby cliff.

Then he picked up the fly whisk in his hand and slapped General Yin hard on the tiger's head, cursing incessantly:

"Dip in garlic paste! Dip in garlic paste! I'll let you dip in garlic paste..."

With each blow, General Yin wailed. Finally he couldn't bear the pain anymore and began to beg for mercy:

"Master Tao, please forgive me, can't I stop eating garlic from now on?"

Taibaijinxing:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?

Did I hit you because you ate garlic?

Before coming here, he had already checked the information about this tiger demon and asked the nearby mountain god. He found out that this guy actually ate thousands of people and often invited his friends to have human body parties.

Thinking of the advice of Empress Nuwa, Taibai Jinxing unconsciously increased the intensity of the whipping, and soon the tiger demon with his brain full of garlic paste was whipped to death.

Then he took the initiative and beat Xiong Shanjun and Special Agent to death. He also killed all the little demons in the two demon caves. He also used his divine power to purify the nearby demons and restore justice to the world.

After doing this, Taibai Jinxing returned to his trembling old Taoist appearance and caught up with Xuanzang who was riding forward:

"The man-eating goblin has been executed, and the holy monk can continue on his way."

"Thank you, Immortal. Wukong is right ahead. Immortal, please go say hello and ask him to wait patiently for two days. Don't blame the young monk for his slow walking."

Taibai Jinxing had not seen Wukong for five hundred years. After hearing this, he said goodbye and flew away, heading straight to the Mountain of Two Realms where Wukong was imprisoned.

On the other side, Zhang Daoling fell from the air and saw tiger carcasses, bear carcasses, and cow carcasses that were several sizes larger than the house. He kept muttering about the shameful waste, and then put away the ingredients.

Well, it’s not that we are always greedy, the main reason is that His Royal Highness the Holy Son advocates diligence and frugality. As the office director of the Wa Palace, we must practice it and actively respond to the call.

After taking away the body, Lao Zhang deliberately cut off a nearby hilltop in order to add merit to Taibai Jinxing, and carved the words "Taibai Demon Subduing Place" before leaving the world of Journey to the West.

Returning to the Wa Palace, he ducked out and arrived at Chaoge City in the Fengshen World. Following the rules of a mortal, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door of Sanxiao Courtyard.

"Come on, come on!"

Qiong Xiao's cheerful voice soon came from the courtyard.

When the wooden door opened and it was Zhang Daoling, Qiong Xiao was a little surprised:

"Lao Zhang, why are you here?"

Zhang Daoling said with a smile:

"I bought some ingredients in Journey to the West and gave them to you to try...Where is Empress Yunxiao?"

"Sister is in retreat carving the plaque of [Man can conquer nature]. Come on, come on, I'll make tea for you...Lao Zhang, can you take me with you next time you buy ingredients? I haven't been to Journey to the West yet."

Zhang Daoling did not dare to agree:

"This matter requires Empress Yunxiao's nod."

He knew very well the level of trouble this girl was capable of, so he didn't dare to agree hastily. If she got into trouble there, both worlds might be disrupted.

Walking into the courtyard, Qiong Xiao waved, and a pavilion appeared in the courtyard, complete with stone tables and benches, and a complete set of tea sets on the table.

Obviously, this is where Sanxiao usually entertains guests.

Yunxiao, who was in seclusion, sensed that there were guests in the yard and came out specially. After Zhang Daoling greeted him, he released the three corpses, which frightened Qiongxiao:

"Wow haha, there's some soy sauce beef to eat!"

If such a big cow is marinated, it can eat several meals.

As for bear carcasses and tiger carcasses, they can be made into air-dried meat.

Anyway, there’s meat to eat!

The skins of cows, bears, and tigers that were peeled off were not wasted. They were given to Wen Zhong and asked to make some clothes for Wu Wenhua. When Wu Wenhua came to thank him, he nudged him to hunt some ducks outside the city to make ginger ducks. Perfect!

Qiong Xiao was like a planner, arranging the ingredients in front of her.

Yunxiao recalled the plot of "Journey to the West" and asked curiously:

"Is this the corpse of the three demons of Gongzhou?"

"Yes, I was just beaten to death by Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng. Based on the principle of not wasting anything, Pindao specially sent it here. If the empress has time, she can make it into delicious food and send it to the real world by your majesty to give to His Highness the Holy Son. Taste one or two.”

Yunxiao said:

"No problem, I will also give some to the Empress and Heavenly Master."

After saying that, the beautiful fairy gently flicked her sleeves, and the three corpses flew precariously into the air, and began to peel and decompose themselves. There was a pool of spring water next to them, and they began to wash the meat.

The whole process was a bit bloody, and Yunxiao deliberately covered it with clouds and mist to avoid scaring the people in Chaoge City.

Zhang Daoling didn't bother him much, drank a cup of tea and left.

Next, Xuanzang in Journey to the West will meet Liu Boqin, the Taibao of Zhenshan.

It is also interesting to say that this Orion Liu Boqin is just a mortal, but he can frighten the poisonous insects and beasts, evil tigers and pythons in the mountains. Wherever he stands, he can scare the beasts into fleeing without having to take action.

The Shuangcha Ridge where he lived was only half a day away from the territory of the three demons of Gongzhou, but the three demons who liked to eat people never dared to provoke him. Instead, they allowed Liu Boqin to eat their descendants.

This is not a mortal, he is simply the mountain god himself!

When Zhang Daoling returned to the world of Journey to the West, Xuanzang was being besieged by various poisonous insects and beasts, and the white horse was so frightened that it could not even stand up.

"This must also be a difficulty, right?"

Xuanzang took out a bottle of mineral water from his robe and took a few sips. Just as he was about to call for help again, the tigers and poisonous insects around him suddenly fled in all directions.

The mountain Taibao finally arrived...Xuan Zang muttered, stuffed the mineral water bottle back into his robe, straightened the monk's clothes again, saw a figure walking quickly from a distance, and quickly thanked him.

"I am a hunter in this mountain. My surname is Liu Mingboqin, and my nickname is Zhenshan Taibao. I was going to find two tigers for food today, but I didn't want to meet you."

Xuanzang thanked him again, and Liu Boqin said:

"You don't need to be so polite. You and I are both common people of the Tang Dynasty, so it should be like this. It's getting late today. Elder, why don't you stay at my house for the night. I'll take you across the mountain tomorrow."

"Thank you Taibao!"

The two of them had not gone far when a beautiful tiger jumped out. Xuanzang was so frightened that his legs became weak.

The tiger roared, took a closer look, and found Liu Boqin was there, turned around and ran away.

Liu Boqin's eyes shone with joy, he caught up with the steel fork, and fought with the tiger.

After a few rounds, the tiger died. Liu Boqin, without blushing or out of breath, carried the dead tiger on his shoulders with a smile on his face:

"This bastard must have smelled the elder's scent that was strange, and wanted to jump out and eat people, but he just fell into the trap... Elder, walk faster, I will stew the meat when you get home, so that you can enjoy it."

You killed a national first-class protected animal... Xuanzang chanted a Buddhist name, led the horse and followed Liu Bochin.

Seeing this, Zhang Daoling in mid-air breathed a sigh of relief.

If he could connect with Liu Bochin, Xuanzang would not be in danger. When Liu Bochin escorted him across the mountain, he would meet Sun Wukong again. From then on, Xuanzang would no longer have to worry about his life.

He waved his whisk, and a box of Dule bananas appeared in his hand. While Xuanzang was staying at Liu Bochin's house, he went to see Wukong again and conveyed the will of the Queen Mother.

Arriving at Liangjie Mountain, Zhang Daoling was about to go down when he saw Taibai Jinxing and the mountain god sitting in front of Wukong, one on the left and one on the right, holding a bunch of colorful playing cards in their hands.

Wukong skillfully put the cards in his hand together, and said excitedly:

"Call the landlord!"
