Chapter 854: One is Better than Ten
The endless yellow land as far as the eye can see.
There were no green trees or flowers to be seen. There were only yellow leaves and grass, dry riverbeds everywhere, and the trunks of dead trees.
There is basically no trace of human life within a thousand miles.
This can be said to be a place where basically no one lives.
at this time,
A group of people are walking towards us from afar.
They are a team of four people and one horse.
Leading the way was a monkey with a hairy face and a thunder god's mouth. He wore a yellow monk's robe on the upper body and a tiger skirt on the lower body.
This is none other than the Monkey King Sun Wukong who caused havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago.
Sun Wukong was trapped under the Five Finger Mountain for 500 years, and finally waited for Tang Xuanzang to go west to seek Buddhist scriptures. Tang Xuanzang removed the seal on the Five Finger Mountain for Sun Wukong, so that Sun Wukong had to protect Tang Xuanzang on his journey to the West to seek Buddhist scriptures.
Along the way, Sun Wukong met the third prince of the West Sea Dragon Palace, Xiaobailong, and Zhu Bajie, who was the predecessor of Marshal Tianpeng.
They even passed through the Quicksand River not long ago and found the last member of the pilgrimage, Sha Wujing.
Sha Wujing’s predecessor was the curtain-lifting general of heaven.
After walking a hundred miles through the Quicksand River, the pilgrims suddenly entered a plain area.
Walking in such a plain area is naturally easier than walking on a rugged mountain road.
just,
I don’t know what happened, but after I walked into this area, the heat of the sun in the sky suddenly increased.
Because of the heat, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were wearing very cool clothes. Tang Xuanzang could not stand the heat at all. His face turned red and sweat accumulated all over his body.
Just then, when they passed by a dead tree that had been hundreds of years old, Zhu Bajie shouted, "Brother, let's take a rest before we go!"
Sun Wukong looked back at Zhu Bajie and said unhappily, "Rest! Rest! Rest! You idiot, all you know is rest and be lazy."
Zhu Bajie was used to being scolded by Sun Wukong, and he didn't care about what Sun Wukong said. He just wanted to rest. He glanced at Tang Xuanzang and immediately came up with a plan: "Brother Monkey, it's no problem for me to continue walking. I'm afraid the master can't bear it anymore."
As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Wukong looked back and saw that Tang Xuanzang looked listless and was obviously in extremely bad condition.
So Sun Wukong nodded and said, "Then let's take a break!"
They began to put down their luggage and hide in the shadows of the dead trees to avoid the hot rays from the sky.
Tang Xuanzang was just a mortal. He was almost fainted by the scorching heat. He had no strength left in his body and didn't want to say anything.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he knew that the situation was not good, so he immediately said to Zhu Bajie and the others, "Bajie, Brother Sha, you keep an eye on Master. I'll go get him some water."
After saying this, Sun Wukong turned into a stream of light and disappeared before their eyes.
After Sun Wukong left, Zhu Bajie lay on the suitcase and rested even more unscrupulously.
Although Zhu Bajie was not a mortal, he could not bear the sun high in the sky.
He couldn't help but complain: "Yang Jian killed nine Golden Crows, and the remaining little Golden Crow is really hotter than ten. It's killing me with heat."
The Jade Emperor sent Tianpeng down to the mortal world in the past, but took away all his cultivation. Zhu Bajie's current cultivation level was the result of his five hundred years of practice.
It's also very remarkable.
Zhu Bajie, who was lying down to enjoy the cool air, suddenly saw a hint of green in the distant sky.
"Brother Sha, what do you see over there?"
Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing looked in the direction of Zhu Bajie's finger and saw a hint of green. He immediately thought of something and pushed hard with his feet to fly several hundred meters into the sky. What he saw was a small oasis with flowing water in the center of the oasis.
"Second Brother, there is an oasis ahead." Sha Wujing said with a frown after landing. Zhu Bajie was overjoyed when he heard it and said, "What are we waiting for? Let's go there right away! It's really too hot to escape the heat."
Sha Wujing said with a worried look on his face: "Second Brother, let's wait! Let's talk about it after our eldest brother comes back."
"What's there to wait for?"
Sha Wujing said: "When the eldest brother was here, he didn't see the oasis. After the eldest brother left, we found it at a glance. This may be the full set of monsters!"
Zhu Bajie said unconcernedly, "It's such a big oasis, what monster can do that? Don't worry! And you can see that the old monk has a serious case of heat stroke. If we delay, something unexpected might happen!"
Upon hearing this, Sha Wujing nodded helplessly and agreed with Zhu Bajie's opinion.
They put Tang Xuanzang on the back of the white dragon horse and ran towards the oasis in the distance.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were not ordinary people, and the horse was not an ordinary horse either, so it didn’t take long for them to reach that distance.
Enter the oasis area.
There were clusters of wild flowers and lush grass, a scene full of green and vitality.
The hot weather along the way also relieved a lot of the irritability caused by it.
They found a broken but ancient stone tablet at their feet, with three blurred words written on it: Mirroring Lake.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing took a look and guessed that this was once a densely populated area, but that they might have moved away with the change in the weather.
There was no time wasted after entering here. I immediately ran straight to the lake in the center and drank big gulps of water to relieve my thirst.
After drinking enough water, I took a bath in the water to cool off.
After Sha Wujing fed Tang Xuanzang a few sips of water, he still did not wake up.
Although the condition is still poor, the situation is obviously much better than before.
"Junior Brother Sha, do you smell anything?"
When Sha Wujing heard what Zhu Bajie said, he immediately twitched his nose and sniffed. A fresh fragrance entered his nasal cavity, and he felt that both his mind and body had benefited.
"There is a precious medicine!"
The two of them immediately perked up, (→_→…←_←) looked at each other, and looked towards the area where the medicinal fragrance came from, and their eyes immediately brightened.
There is a small island of two hundred square meters in the middle of the lake.
There is a yard on the island that is about the same size as the island.
There is a big tree in the center of the yard!
The big tree exudes a misty air, and the whole tree is flowing with golden ripples, which is very gorgeous.
The most important things are the fruits hanging on the big trees, which are full of very strong vitality and contain extremely rich Taoist rhyme.
One glance at Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing reveals that they are not ordinary people.
They immediately became excited and picked up Tang Xuanzang and walked towards the island on the water.
Zhu Bajie didn't think much about it, but Sha Wujing still had some rationality.
Sha Wujing's gaze lingered on the wall at the edge of the island for a while, and he thought to himself, "Wall? Does that belong to someone?"
but,
He also noticed that the broken wall was almost completely covered with green vegetation.
The gate of the yard was also dilapidated and decayed. Seeing this, Sha Wujing's doubts were dispelled, and he thought that this place had been abandoned by the original owner long ago.
