The Monkey King

On the boundless river, the water flow was manipulated by mana to push the ice floes, carrying the boat slowly drifting towards the other side of the Blackwater River little by little.

The black bear spirit and the roller shutter quickly jumped out of the boat with weapons in hand and stood on the ice floe to look around vigilantly.

The canopy holds the nine-tooth nail rake and firmly protects Xuanzang behind him.

The captain stood motionless holding the frozen oar, as if everything that was happening had nothing to do with him.

In the middle of the boat, the monkey was still sitting cross-legged, looking up at the sky slightly, sighing lightly and saying: "Tell me, who are you, and what are your intentions in attacking Master Xuanzang?"

Hearing this, Xiao Bailong quickly shrank behind the monkey. At this moment, among everyone, only Xiao Bailong is still confused about the situation.

"The Great...the Great Sage is joking." The boatman slowly grinned dryly and sighed softly: "Who can this old man be? The old man...the old man is just the boatman on the Blackwater River."

The wind passed over the ice formed by the monkey's spell and blew on his face. A chill hit him, but the sweat couldn't help but slip down drop by drop.

"If your acting skills are so bad, stop pretending." The monkey stretched, stood up, put the golden cudgel on his shoulders, turned to look at the boatman and said leisurely: "Last chance. Who are you?"

"Great Sage...have you misunderstood?"

"three."

"I'm really just a boatman from the Heishui River. Don't make the mistake of blaming a good man!"

"two."

The man's face turned pale.

"one."

The words have not yet finished. The boatman fell to his knees with a thump.

There was a flash of white light, and the boatman had changed his appearance and turned into a monster about seven feet tall.

The one-foot-long upper and lower jaws are covered with brown scales, and the long fingers look extremely sharp. There was a long tail swinging behind him.

It looked like a crocodile spirit.

All this seemed to be expected to others, except Xiao Bailong who screamed in surprise.

"Tao Jie?"

The crocodile spirit raised his head slightly and glanced at Xiao Bailong, but didn't say a word.

"Is it really you? Why are you here?"

Tianpeng asked softly: "Do you know him?"

"This is my cousin, the son of the uncle Jinghe Dragon King I just mentioned." Xiao Bailong quickly stopped in front of the monkey and said: "Great Sage, this is my cousin Miao Jie. It must be a misunderstanding."

"Really?" Monkey stared at Miao Jie coldly. Still unmoved.

At this moment, there was only a muffled sound, and the entire ship and the frozen ice surface shook violently.

Xuanzang almost fell to the ground.

At the same time, the ice sculpture wave that was originally hanging above the head was shattered by the waist, and the whole thing was smashed towards the boat.

At this moment, the monkey rolled over, and the stick suddenly stretched out and stabbed the fallen wave ice sculpture.

In an instant. The huge ice sculpture shattered, but continued to hit the boat like a sliding mountain.

If it were hit by such a violent "hail" rain, a mortal would definitely die.

In desperation, the canopy quickly held up a shield to protect Xuanzang.

At this moment, the ice outside the boat had completely cracked. The black bear spirit and the roller blind standing on the ice were in a hurry, dodging and jumping back to the boat.

But at this moment, when everyone's attention was diverted, Miao Jie, who was kneeling on the board of the ship, suddenly stood up. Pushing away Ao Lie who was blocking the monkey, he rushed towards Xuanzang.

In the midst of the lightning and flint, the monkey made a backhand, and the golden cudgel quietly changed its trajectory and whizzed away towards the sprinting Miao Jie.

Before Miao Jie's hand could touch the corner of Xuanzang's clothes, the monkey had already hit him hard on the waist.

With a "thud", Miao Jie was knocked down onto the ship's board, and a mouthful of blood spattered out.

If it wasn't difficult to perform it on this small boat, this would be it. I'm afraid it has already taken Tao Jie's life.

The opportunity was fleeting, and Miao Jie did not dare to stay any longer. He held his injured area and rolled over, directly out of the hull and fell into the water.

It all happened very quickly.

In this short moment, the ice originally used to resist the wind and waves was shattered. The monkey and the canopy were busy resisting the falling ice sculpture. The roller blind and the black bear spirit were forced back. Miao Jie faced Xuanzang. Take action, Monkey fights back, and Miao Jie escapes. Back and forth, Xiao Bailong didn't even have time to say a word before it was over.

Broken ice hit the boat like raindrops, making a splashing sound.

Little Bailong looked at the ripples of water slowly spreading in the distance, and was dumbfounded for a moment.

"Chase!" Roller Shutter gritted his teeth and was about to jump out of the boat, but was pulled back by the canopy.

"Don't chase him, he has accomplices." Looking up, the monkey saw that there was a huge magic circle floating in the air above his head less than three feet above the river.

This magic circle is so big that it almost spans the ten-mile-wide river, and it can't be seen to the side at a glance.

Following the monkey's gaze, the black bear spirit also saw the huge magic circle, and said hesitantly: "By the way, just now, it seemed that we couldn't use the soaring cloud technique."

The monkey sighed helplessly and said: "This should be a no-flying circle. It is important to protect Master Xuanzang."

The no-fly magic circle that the old white ape was so proud of back then never expected to be encountered again under such circumstances. The difference is that the strength of the spell caster this time is definitely not comparable to that of the old white ape, and the range of the spell is also huge.

The wind and waves on the river became more and more crazy, and the whole ship was bumping up and down violently like a dead leaf, as if it might be swallowed by the huge waves at any time. If it hadn't been for the support of the canopy, Xuanzang might have been thrown out of the boat long ago.

Supporting Xuanzang, Tianpeng looked up at the magic circle and said softly: "Can it be broken?"

"Yes. However, the movement is a bit loud." Lowering his head, the monkey looked at the rolling river: "The above is just an illusion. If the opponent draws the magic circle above our heads, we can't not notice it. The real magic circle should be At the bottom of the river. The other party is also at the bottom of the river. It seems that this black river has been planned for a long time. "

…

At this time, the injured Miao Jie had already escaped for a long time in the black water river.

He reached out and took out a piece of white jade from his waist and put it in his mouth. Suddenly, the dark river in front of him suddenly became the same as before. There are even shoals of fish wandering around.

In the blink of an eye, he had fallen on a hill at the bottom of the river.

Standing on the hill were the three demon kings: the Peng Demon King, the Lion Camel King, and the Hell Tamarin King. Under their feet, there was a blue magic circle with a diameter of more than ten feet and covered with Sanskrit characters that was slowly flowing.

From a distance, in the middle of the array, it looks like a skinny monk sitting cross-legged with his hands clasped together. Unfortunately, he was wearing a turban and couldn't see his face clearly.

Seeing Mao Jie's arrival, Demon King Peng hurriedly greeted him.

"Missed?"

Mao Jie lay on the ground, covering her injury, and nodded in pain: "That monkey is too fast... As long as he is next to the monk, there is no way he can attack."

The lion camel king looked at Miao Jie lying on the ground and snorted helplessly: "Then what should we do next?"

Demon King Peng looked back at the monk in the center of the circle, then looked up at the river, and said: "Even if they can't attack, they won't be able to escape for the time being with this thing here. Trap them first, and if you can force them into the water, then we can do it." It couldn't be better."

After saying that, Demon King Peng quickly walked towards the magic circle and stood on one of the corners of the magic circle. The other two demon kings also quickly walked to the other two corners of the magic circle.

Slowly, the three of them began to inject spiritual power into the magic circle.

…

At this time, one whirlpool after another had formed on the river.

The monkey even saw a fish being thrown out of the river and then torn in half by two whirlpools.

If it weren't for the monkey, he had already blessed the boat with his spiritual power and forcibly stabilized the center of gravity. At this moment, the boat was probably torn apart like the fish.

These are no longer water, they are simply liquid knives!

In this raging river, the boat moved forward slowly, ignoring all the wind, waves and bumps. That's extremely slow.

However, just when everyone thought it was just a matter of time before they reached the other side and escaped from the circle, suddenly the entire ship shot forward and quickly deviated from its original route due to the strange and unpredictable river water. , the whole thing was flying around irregularly in the rolling waves.

Both the roller blind and the black bear spirit were too busy to take care of themselves. The canopy held Xuanzang tightly, and the little white dragon dragged the stern of the boat and was almost thrown out.

Finally, the monkey finally stabilized the boat again, but he no longer dared to move in any direction.

Everyone was panting, as if they only had half their lives left.

Tianpeng looked at the waves blocked by spiritual power, and a drop of cold sweat slowly slipped from his forehead.

"I'm afraid...it's not as simple as the no-fly magic circle."

At this moment, the monkey's entire face was livid.

"This is Buddhist magic."

"Buddhist magic?"

"Yes, it's something from Buddhism. It seems that Miao Jie has taken refuge in Buddhism."

"This is impossible!" Xiao Bailong on the side shouted loudly: "My dragon clan has no contact with Buddhism, how could it be possible for Mao Jie to join any Buddhist clan?"

With this shout, everyone looked towards Xiao Bailong.

The monkey looked at him expressionlessly and said softly: "Are you his cousin?"

"Yes." Xiao Bailong nodded.

"Okay, go down and talk to him, ask him about the matter and then come back."

Saying that, the monkey stretched out his hand to pull the little white dragon. He was so frightened that he hugged Xuanzang and refused to let go. He walked to the side of the ship.

Pointing to the river water flying in the sky, Tianpeng said: "The power of this magic circle is not small. Who do you think is coming? There should be few people in Buddhism who can display such a powerful magic circle, right?"

"At least one of the four great Buddhas." The monkey replied without thinking: "Zhengfa Ming Tathagata, Samantabhadra, Manjushri, or else, it is the mysterious Ksitigarbha." (To be continued~^~ )
