529, Lingyun Ferry, Corpse Dropped

Talked with Sun Wukong for a few words.

When the two saw Emperor Jingyan and a group of imperial guards coming, they ended the conversation.

When the imperial concubine saw the young Taoist talking happily with the monk with a hairy face and a thunder god mouth, she felt relieved and got up from the ground. Although she looked a little embarrassed, she did not hide her beauty.

"Thank you, Taoist, for saving me." She stepped forward to thank him boldly.

In fact, she should have thanked the monk with a hairy face and a thunder god mouth, that is, Sun Wukong. It's just that she thought Sun Wukong was ugly and fierce. And this young Taoist looked kind and handsome, and he was easy to talk to at first glance. Judging people by appearance has always been the case since ancient times.

"It doesn't mean to hurt you."

Bai Gui hugged the jade rabbit, stroked its back, and smiled.

It seems that this sentence is nothing surprising. In fact, it reduced the guilt of the jade rabbit without a breath. He is not the only one who protects his shortcomings, but most of the immortals are the same. There are very few people who don't protect their shortcomings. It is not advisable to kill relatives for the sake of justice.

Moreover, the Jade Rabbit did not do anything too evil, and it was not irreversible.

"Zhaoyang and I are talking and laughing happily..."

The Imperial Concubine hesitated.

The reason why she did not thank Sun Wukong directly was also related to this. Even though she knew that Princess Zhaoyang or Princess Tianzhu was the Jade Rabbit Fairy, she did not think that the Jade Rabbit would kill her. On the contrary, Sun Wukong's tyrannical behavior scared her a lot.

"What the Taoist said is true. Although this demon pretended to be Zhaoyang, he was also kind." The Imperial Concubine was a person with a delicate heart. Seeing that the Jade Rabbit Fairy was Bai Gui's "favorite", she was willing to do Bai Gui a favor and continued to speak along with Bai Gui's words.

The two cooperated tacitly, fighting and eliminating at the same time.

The Jade Rabbit Fairy's guilt became that of a little demon who was ignorant of the world and sneaked out to have fun in the human world.

Emperor Jingyan finally arrived at the garden. He saw dust on the pomegranate skirt of the imperial concubine, and saw Bai Gui and Sun Wukong standing beside him. He was surprised and said, "My beloved concubine, what happened just now?"

When he was on the road, he felt a strong wind blowing over, blowing the ceremonial guards into pieces.

This strong wind was the strong wind when Sun Wukong swung the golden hoop.

The anger of the immortals was extraordinary.

"Your Majesty..." The imperial concubine felt the big hand of Emperor Jingyan, and a trace of disgust flashed between her willow eyebrows. Emperor Jingyan was already in his seventies, and she was in her prime, but this expression was quickly concealed by her, "Your Majesty, Princess Zhaoyang is a monster, and has been subdued by the Taoist priest and the monk with a hairy face and thunder mouth. It is the jade rabbit in the Taoist priest's arms..."

When her eyes touched the jade rabbit, the imperial concubine's almond eyes also had a hint of love.

This jade rabbit is snow-white, without a single stray hair. The whole body is crystal clear like snow, the rabbit lips are pink, and the eyes are like stars. It is a top-grade variety at first glance.

However, considering the extraordinary origin of this jade rabbit, the imperial concubine did not dare to offend it.

"Your Majesty, this jade rabbit is the pet of an old friend of mine." Bai Gui bowed and said with a smile: "This time, I sneaked into the lower world because of playfulness. As for offending your Majesty and trespassing into the palace, please don't mind it. This is a phoenix hairpin made of fairy gold, which is very valuable..."

"I would like to use this thing to eliminate the cause and effect, is it possible?"

He took out a golden hairpin from his sleeve and handed it to Emperor Jingyan.

This golden hairpin was actually a low-grade magic weapon. However, giving a magic weapon to the emperor of the mortal world will add some cause and effect, which will have a certain impact on humanity. This is not his original intention. Therefore, he used his magic power to directly smooth out the restrictions and laws inside the golden hairpin, and gave it away as an ordinary treasure.

The fairy gold was shining and dazzling.

When the imperial concubine saw this treasure, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

She said coquettishly: "Your Majesty, the Taoist priest just saved my life. Besides, this Jade Rabbit Spirit is hiding in the palace and has not caused any trouble. In my opinion, it is better to agree to this matter."

Emperor Jingyan wanted to wait for a price, but when he saw the imperial concubine acting coquettishly, his heart softened and he agreed: "My beloved concubine is right. If it weren't for Taoist priest Bai and this elder, there would be more trouble in the palace. Today, the trouble has been eliminated, which is also the credit of Taoist priest and elder. I will accept this golden hairpin and put an end to the cause and effect of this matter."

The longer the reign of an emperor, even if he is not a wise ruler, he will not be a mediocre person. This year is the 28th year of Jingyan. Emperor Jingyan has never changed the reign title, which shows that the weather is good and the people are happy.

In the feudal era, the reign title was generally changed when natural disasters, military events, etc. occurred, and the reign title was changed to pray for blessings from heaven. Therefore, if the reign title remains unchanged and the reign lasts for a long time, the emperor in power will not be too bad.

Agreed to settle the cause and effect. First, the golden hairpin given by Bai Gui is indeed a treasure, and he is very fond of the imperial concubine. Second, if he disagrees, the consequences will be unpredictable. This Taoist can collect monsters, but he can also release monsters. Thunder, rain and dew are all grace from the gods.

"Wukong, go and invite the real princess so that His Majesty and the princess can be reunited."

Tang Monk twisted the Buddhist beads and spoke.

Sun Wukong said "yes", and clouds appeared under his feet, and he arrived at the Gegubujin Temple outside the city, took the Tianzhu Princess imprisoned behind the temple on the cloud, and returned.

This Tianzhu Princess is exactly the same as the princess pretended by the Jade Rabbit Fairy before, but she is dressed in plain clothes, looks quite elegant, and has thin cheeks. You can tell at a glance that she has suffered a lot.

"Father." Princess Tianzhu cried and said to Emperor Jingyan, "Three years ago, I was watching flowers under the moon, but was captured by this evildoer. She locked me up in the backyard of the Gegubujin Temple and pretended to be me..."

Yue'e's memory has not been lost, and there is no mystery in the womb. She naturally saw that the person pretending to be her was Yutu. It's just that because she is now a mortal, all her magic power has been lost. She had to pretend that she didn't know Jade Rabbit, so as not to make Jade Rabbit reincarnate and torture her.

After crying, Yue'e finally had a chance. She got out of Emperor Jingyan's embrace and took a good look at the imperial garden. Suddenly she saw Bai Gui and the jade rabbit in Bai Gui's hand.

"Why did Inspector Bai get here?"

"Did he capture this Jade Rabbit?"

She had a few more guesses in her heart and thought to herself.

However, she had seen Bai Gui in the morning, who was extremely handsome and had a worldly mind, so she was sent down from the fairy world to the mortal world by Qingyuan Miao Dao Zhenjun. Seeing her old friend at this moment, she took a quick glance, and when she lowered her head, her pink face became more shy and bright.

When Erlang Shen hit Yue'e in the lower realm, Bai Gui was beside him. Knowing that Yue'e had not lost her memory, he stepped forward and explained the reason: "So that your majesty will know that what happened today has been destined for a long time. The jade rabbit in the poor Taoist's arms is making trouble for the moon palace. The jade rabbit of the medicine, and your majesty’s beloved daughter, Princess Zhaoyang, is also a fairy of the Moon Palace. Because she admires the mortal world, she descended to earth to experience calamity. This jade rabbit holds a grudge because the princess slapped it in the previous life, so..."

Originally he didn't want to say so much. But unexpectedly, it seemed that because of his intervention, Lord Taiyin Star was not seen coming during this calamity. If the Lord Taiyin Star did not come, and no one could explain the cause and effect of this disaster, this disaster would not be considered complete. He had just left the body of the Yang God and went to the Moon Palace. He handed the famous thorn to Taiyin Star Lord to urge her to descend to the realm, but Taiyin Star Lord was too lazy to move and entrusted him to deal with it...

Taiyin Xingjun is a senior immortal god, and he is not lacking in this merit.

Yue'e knew this very well, and she didn't say anything more when Bai Gui made it clear.

"Moon Palace? Enmity?"

Emperor Jingyan and the imperial concubine were a little shocked.

They never expected that they would be involved in the secret affairs of immortals and gods. Especially the imperial concubine, she secretly said that she was lucky not to be too harsh on the Jade Rabbit Spirit just now. It sounds like the Jade Rabbit Spirit has a low status and is just a pet, but how can she be compared to a mortal concubine.

"So that's why."

Emperor Jingyan was an old emperor after all. He quickly calmed down and nodded, "Since Taoist Master Bai has settled this matter, what the Jade Rabbit is is not what I should be concerned about."

"Taoist Master Bai..." Yue'e walked up to Bai Gui and raised her eyes to examine Bai Gui's appearance. After Emperor Jingyan finished speaking, it was time to talk about her entire rightful speech. He couldn't avoid it, "Taoist Master Bai, I wonder what I committed in my previous life and was demoted to the mortal world?"

Just now Bai Gui said that she was "longing for the mortal world", but she pretended not to know.

Saying this... has a deeper meaning.

"My heart is moved, and I fall in love with... Pindao." Bai Gui frowned, with a calm face, and said the matter frankly. When he went to the Moon Palace for a banquet, Yue'e frequently looked at him sideways. He was not an ignorant boy, so how could he understand Yue'e's thoughts.

Yue'e looked slightly complicated, nodded her head, and stepped aside.

No further questions were asked.

Bai Gui's words have already shown that he has no intention of her. Also, the reason why she fell in love with Bai Gui was because she saw that Bai Gui was a handsome man and had a high status, so she fell in love with him. It's not necessarily that he has much affection for Bai Gui.

Now, although Bai Gui did not refuse explicitly, his meaning was already clear.

She can let go of this matter.

"Fairy Yue'e, it seems that your mood has been perfected."

Bai Gui saw this and sent a message.

After a long journey to the mortal world, my longing for the mortal world gradually became indifferent. That's why Yue'e was able to let go of her worries so easily. As long as this life is completed, Yue'e can once again be ranked among the immortals.

Bai Gui, Tang Seng and his party stayed in Tianzhu for two days, enjoyed a feast and then left.

Out of the capital of Tianzhu.

Bai Gui said goodbye, "Master Xuanzang, I still have some important matters to attend to. I will wait for you guys at Lingshan after I finish them. See you at Lingshan."

After that, Tang Monk and his party will have to go through another calamity, a calamity other than that of the bandits.

After this calamity has passed, we can reach Lingshan Mountain.

"Senior Brother Bai, are you going to be a guest at Lingshan Mountain?" Zhu Bajie snorted twice, full of joy, "Senior Brother Bai, after you enter Lingshan Mountain, you must give me a few nice words and discuss your merits and deeds with the Tathagata. When you reward me, please give me more credit.”

"The Tathagata is the true Buddha, Taoist Master Bai..."

Tang Monk stepped forward to stop him.

He knew that Bai Gui had great supernatural powers, but he didn't think that Bai Gui had the ability to speak to Tathagata Buddha and ask for favors from Zhu Bajie. After all, he had been with Bai Gui for a while.

"Master, you don't know what my senior brother is capable of." Zhu Bajie waved his hand. He is the direct disciple and grandson of the Supreme Being. With his status as well as being an immortal, it is not difficult to say a few words in front of the Tathagata. He looked forward with a look on his face. He said with a smile: "Junior brother, I won't make things difficult for you. In short, just get a good status."

He knew in his heart that after this trip to Lingshan, he would be rewarded based on his merits and he would have the opportunity to become a Buddhist venerable.

"Junior Brother Zhu, I'm just a guest and can't influence Tathagata's thoughts." Bai Gui was speechless, a hundred people have a hundred human natures, and Zhu Bajie has such a rogue character, "After arriving at Lingshan, if there is a chance, I will say something."

He was embarrassed to speak frankly because he was worried about the friendship between his fellow students.

This sentence is a polite refusal.

Zhu Bajie drooped his head, feeling quite frustrated.

During his journey, he had no part in slaying demons and monsters, as his eldest brother Sun Wukong did it for him. He also had no part in carrying luggage, as his third junior brother, General Juanlian, did it. Bai Longma was also a good runner, and even if he had no merit, he had worked hard. And along the way..., it was hard to say what he had done. He was just a slacker.

Without waiting for Zhu Bajie to say anything else, Bai Gui nodded and disappeared in an instant.

After a few breaths.

He arrived at the foot of Lingshan Mountain.

Before going to Lingshan Mountain, there was a stream of running water, rolling and flowing, about eight or nine miles wide. As he got closer, there was a ferry with a monument named Lingyun Ferry.

At the ferry, there was a bottomless boat.

The boatman was old, sitting on the bow, beating a wooden fish and reciting Buddhist scriptures.

Bai Gui saw with his Dharma eyes that this was the Guide Buddha, but the Guide Buddha did not speak to him, so he pretended not to know, and randomly found a single log and threw it into the river.

He took a step forward, moved sideways for a few steps, and landed on the log.

The log broke through the waves and headed for the other side.

After breaking through the waves for a few breaths, a lot of dirt fell off his body. This was not dirt, but some dirt on the Yang God, which was washed away by the river water. When he walked to the middle of the river, he took out a lotus seed, bit through the skin, and a stream of nectar gushed out, sharpening his body.

After cultivating into a Yang God, he had shed his wings and ascended.

If a mortal passed through this river, he would fall dead, that is, his flesh body.

The lotus seeds were the golden lotus seeds of merit given by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The log hit the soil on the other side, and Bai Gui's feathered clothes fluttered, and he landed leisurely, and arrived at the ferry on the other side. There were also boatmen at this ferry.

"Amitabha, I meet you, Taoist friend."

The Buddha of Reception was solemn, nodded and whispered.

"Buddha."

Bai Gui nodded in return.

"The journey to the West to obtain the scriptures is about to be completed. This trip was instructed by the Queen Mother. How about being a boatman here with me?" The Buddha pointed to the bottomless boat.

He was seen sitting cross-legged in the river, the water over his knees.

The wooden fish was suspended in the air.

"Thank you for your guidance, Buddha." Bai Gui nodded, stepped on the bow of the boat, and his footsteps also fell into the river.

The river water was cold and washed the Yang Shen.

One wash, a thousand Yang Shen thoughts were annihilated. But the river water contained a force of creation, and the Yang Shen thoughts were regenerated, clearer and brighter than before.

"Amitabha..."

The Buddha closed his eyes, stopped talking, and continued to recite the Buddhist scriptures.

And Bai Gui was not polite, and began to cleanse the Yang Shen with the help of the power of the river. According to Bai Gui's guess, the river water of Lingyundu should be the "merit" water specially refined by the Buddhist sect.

This is a path that mortals must take to become Buddhas.
