Chapter 646 Eight Hundred Miles of Quicksand River? I'll Make It Eight Miles! [Monthly Votes Requested]

By the Quicksand River, the Black Bear Spirit put down his burden, pointed to a stone tablet not far away and said:

"Brother, there are words on it, something like Eight Hundred Quicksand Realms..."

While he was reciting, Wukong interrupted him:

"Don't recite, the plot will be triggered after you finish reciting, and you will start to fight Sha Seng... No, he is not called Sha Seng yet, he is just a general who was demoted to the human world. At best, he has fallen into a demon, and he can't even be considered a demon."

After all, he is a god, but he started to cause chaos when he came to the human world, eating tens of thousands of people, and even the entire Quicksand River became a disaster.

The black bear demon took a large drinking bottle and drank the mountain spring water in one gulp:

"Brother, how high is the official of the General Curtain Rolling? Did you know him when you were making trouble in the Heavenly Palace?"

"He is just a small follower responsible for lifting the door curtain, how can he be considered an official."

"Then what he said in his praise poem is 'I am the most respected in the South Heaven Gate, I am the most respected in front of the Lingxiao Palace', it seems that he is higher than the Marshal of Tianpeng."

Wukong laughed:

"Just take a look at the praise poem, everyone is bragging to death, in the whole South Heaven Gate, the only powerful one is Wang Lingguan, Wang Lingguan is the guardian of Taoism, similar to Wei Tuo of Buddhism, compared with him, the General Curtain Rolling is nothing."

Wang Lingguan is quite powerful, he once fought with Wukong in the South Heaven Gate.

But then the thirty-six generals of the Thunder Department arrived, and Wukong used his three-headed and six-armed magical power to directly defeat the group of immortals. It was at this time that Kuimu Lang Li Xiong was beaten by Wukong and suffered from Yuyu disease, and secretly went to the lower world to heal his wounds.

Wukong took out a bunch of bananas from the bag and handed them to the black bear spirit, letting his junior brother fill his stomach, and then took out a snow pear and sat by the river to eat it.

In the real world, Xuanzang came out of the warehouse and just caught up with Li Yu's parents and father-in-law and mother-in-law leaving.

The National Day holiday is about to end, and the parents of both sides are also preparing to go back to work.

Seeing Xuanzang, Zhang Ping asked:

"You have become a monk, why haven't you come these days? We still want to go to the small temple on the mountain to worship."

Zhao Peimin asked in confusion:

"Does your mother-in-law believe in Buddhism?"

"It doesn't cost money, so I believe in it a little."

Xuanzang bowed to everyone:

"I have been busy with other things recently and have not been able to come to the scenic spot. Please forgive me, elders."

Zhou Bingren looked at Xuanzang and whispered to his daughter:

"He is dressed like Tang Monk, who is he?"

"Xuanzang."

Zhou Bingren: "!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Oh my god, Tang Monk, right?

He wanted to ask a few more questions, but he finally held back. He said he would not cause trouble for his daughter and son-in-law, and he could not break his promise.

Xuanzang put on a cassock and recited a passage from the "Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva's Sutra of Eliminating Disasters and Prolonging Life" to Zhang Ping and Zhao Peimin to eliminate disasters and pray for blessings.

The two mothers didn't understand the scriptures, but as they listened, they unconsciously entered a mysterious state and felt a lot more peaceful.

While everyone's attention was on Xuanzang, Zhou Ruotong revealed some inside information to her father:

"I took two weeks off some time ago and left for ten years."

Two weeks? Ten years?

It took Zhou Bingren a while to react. His daughter must have gone to another world. He had a lot to say, but in the end he just told her:

"Be careful, safety is the first priority."

He really wanted to know how his daughter had been doing in the past ten years, why there was no trace of time on her face, but she became younger, like when she just graduated from college.

But what's the point of asking?

It must be something he couldn't understand, even beyond common sense, so forget it.

Zhou Bingren took the initiative to change the subject:

"The Huns' golden knife has been studied almost completely, and it will soon be reported in the media. The National Museum will also set aside an entire exhibition hall to display the knife."

The Huns' golden knife is a treasure from the perspective of cultural relics research or historical research.

More importantly, the words carved on this knife can show the bravery and strength of the Han people, which is very helpful in enhancing national self-confidence.

Zhou Ruotong asked:

"Are there no experts opposed?"

"Yes, some old and young people of the Qing Dynasty, and those Pan-Mongolists who jumped up and down, all strongly opposed it. One even threatened to resign. Your grandfather quickly approved it... But Lao Deng from the Palace Museum, as a member of the Qing Dynasty royal family, clearly expressed his support, which surprised me."

Lao Deng?

Zhou Ruotong asked:

"Is he Deng Lisong's father?"

"I don't know either. I only know that Lao Deng's son likes carving and seems to have won a big prize."

Then there is no running away, he is indeed Deng Lisong's father.

After Xuanzang finished reading the scriptures, Zhou Bingren and Li Jianxin started the car, said goodbye to everyone, and left Yinzhou, one heading south and the other heading north.

After they left, Xuanzang said:

"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Liusha River."

Li Yu was overjoyed:

"You are fast enough, let's go, I will find Brother Dao first."

Since we have arrived at the Liusha River, we can do something to change the original setting and make Tiandao uncomfortable, such as... making the Liusha River narrower.

The Liusha River in the original book is 800 miles wide and 3,000 miles deep, and even Wukong can't see the specific length... This setting makes the area of ​​the Liusha River larger than the Mediterranean Sea.

Now it's time to change this unreasonable landform structure through Brother Dao.

If the setting of the original plot is the rule of heaven, then the more changes Brother Dao makes, the less consistent the world in the book will be with the law of heaven.

For Brother Dao, this is a loophole that can be taken advantage of.

Brother Dao was taking a nap in the living room. In order to make it easier for him to sleep, Zhou Ruotong specially bought an enlarged mink carpet. The guy curled up on it, as comfortable as the landlord Cai Cai before liberation.

Li Yu came to the living room and patted the dog gently. The guy didn't move at all.

"You can never wake up a sleeping dog unless there are new rules in the world."

Before Li Yu finished speaking, Brother Dao looked like he had just woken up, slowly got up and opened his eyes.

"Come on, let's do a small experiment that can enhance your strength."

In fact, Li Yu didn't know if he could enhance Brother Dao's strength, but in order to make him cooperate, he naturally had to maximize the benefits.

As the saying goes, "Lin Chiling at the press conference, Luo Yufeng at the physical machine", this is normal business behavior and is not a scam.

Sure enough, when Brother Dao heard about the increased strength, he stood up suddenly, left the living room, and followed Li Yu to the study obediently.

After Zhou Ruotong and Xuanzang also came over, Li Yu said to Brother Dao:

"Can you try to make the Liusha River shallower and narrower, so that it becomes a normal river?"

According to the setting in the book, the sand content of the Liusha River should be several times higher than that of the Yellow River. Coupled with the rapid flow of water, this is why the saying "a goose feather cannot float, but a reed will sink to the bottom".

To put it simply, this river cannot even float goose feathers, let alone boats. It is simply a dead end on the journey to the west.

Even though Mu Zha helped to cross the river in the end, in addition to the magic gourd he brought with him, he also borrowed the skull of Xuanzang's ninth reincarnation and combined the skull and gourd to form a small boat that could cross the Liusha River. , crossed eight hundred miles in a moment and arrived at Xiniu Hezhou.

If Brother Dao can change the landscape, the Liusha River will no longer be an obstacle on the way forward, and the Tang Dynasty's army can easily cross this river and go to Xiniu Hezhou to implement the king's transformation.

Brother Dao thought for a while and let out a groan, as if he was not sure.

Zhou Ruotong encouraged:

"Try it. If it doesn't work, forget it. Don't force it."

Brother Dao lay down and prepared to give it a try. Xuanzang quickly returned to the world of Journey to the West, intending to observe the reaction there.

As soon as he arrived, he felt that the world suddenly became gray, the originally clear sky was covered with clouds, strong winds blew by, and huge waves several feet high were set off in the Liusha River.

"Master, what did His Highness the Holy Son say?"

"He wants to change the depth and width of the river. The sky is about to change. Let's find a place to hide first."

Upon hearing this, Wukong threw the golden hoop into the air, and the iron rod turned into an iron shed. The four pillars of the shed were deeply embedded in the soil and remained motionless despite the strong wind.

Xuanzang held the telescope and looked at the river seriously.

Soon, the sky became darker and gloomier, and the wind on the river became stronger and stronger. The black bear spirit was worried about blowing the master, so it directly grew into a size of ten feet, blocking the strong wind.

Wukong flew over the Liusha River and carefully observed the changes in the river surface.

After watching for a while, he keenly discovered that the other bank was slowly floating towards this side, and the water level in the river was gradually rising. The speed of the current was getting faster and faster, and large and small whirlpools appeared in the water.

There were more and more dark clouds in the sky, gradually converging into an angry face, with its mouth open, and various mountain-sized lightnings slanting down. The thunder was mixed with two words that made people tremble:

"court death!"

These two words carry the power of heaven and earth. Even Wukong, a guy who is not afraid of heaven and earth, can't help but shudder. This is a personal suppression that he cannot resist.

Before the thunder that resounded through the sky stopped, the dark clouds in the sky turned into the shape of a dog. Then, a distant and loud barking of a dog came, and the trembling and fear just now disappeared.

Wukong knew that this was a fight between two heavenly beings, so he quickly lowered his flying altitude and did not make a conspicuous package to avoid being angry.

The other bank was getting closer and closer. Wukong flew over with a somersault cloud and stood on the west bank. Suddenly he found that the west bank was not moving now, but the east bank was approaching to the west.

"That's strange. Could it be that the land suddenly disappeared?"

This battle between the gods has attracted peeps from all sides. Vairocana Buddha, who once used the power of Buddhism to create a reservoir in the Water Margin world, is staring straight at the Liusha River, trying to feel the gods. The mood and method of controlling the world, but as soon as I started to think about it, I spit out a mouthful of golden blood.

Medicine Master Liuli Buddha quickly treated him, and the Tathagata sitting on the Nine-Rank Lotus Platform said:

"The sky is unpredictable, just be yourself and do everything according to your ability. Those who do not measure their own abilities will suffer backlash."

Vairocana Buddha put his hands together:

"It's me who's trapped, Amitabha!"

Wukong returned to the east bank again and found that from this angle, it was indeed the west bank that was moving:

"Compared to the east bank, it is the west bank that is moving; relative to the west bank, it is the east bank that is moving... Is this the legendary theory of relativity?"

Unlike the Black Bear Spirit, who is busy studying every time he takes a break, Wukong doesn't read many books, so he doesn't even understand some common sense of physics.

Although there were dark clouds and thunder and lightning, the team was safe. Wukong plunged into the water and landed directly on the bottom. He found that the bottom of the water was also slowly rising.

According to this view, when we turn back to the Tongtian River, we can also use this method to cross the river.

Wukong turned around underwater and just as he was about to float up, he saw a gloomy cave, in which a red-haired, blue-faced demon was sleeping soundly. Nine skulls were hanging around the demon's neck, and a magic staff was placed next to it. It was the general who was demoted to the lower world.

The cave was full of bones, which should be the mortals eaten by the general.

Wukong wanted to kill directly while the battle of heaven was too busy to take care of it, but the golden hoop blocked the wind for his master on the shore, so he gave up the idea.

It's better to wait until the battle of heaven is over, go to the river to recite poems to trigger the plot, and then kill the general on the shore openly, and see if anyone can beg for mercy.

If someone begs for mercy, kill them all, just as if it were to collect some interest for these innocent people.

As for the general, whether he was a black hand arranged by the heaven or had ulterior motives, he would wait until he was reincarnated. Now he had to pay for the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Wukong flew out of the water and told Xuanzang everything he saw and heard.

Xuanzang didn't expect that he was successful, so he immediately went to the real world to report and give His Royal Highness the Son of God a reassurance.

Before leaving, he said to his two disciples:

"The Heavenly Dao is fighting, you two can find some bridge-building materials nearby, and we will build a bridge across the two continents here, which is also a good thing."

Xuan Zang came to the real world and bowed to Li Yu and Zhou Ruotong:

"Your Highness, the Holy Son, the Holy Son's Concubine, the Liusha River is now narrowing, and the riverbed is slowly rising. Wukong also went to the upstream and downstream to see that there was no flood disaster, and the river water did not flood the fertile fields."

Li Yu did not expect that his plan would really succeed:

"Great, this way, Brother Dao will be able to control the world in the book faster."

Zhou Ruotong observed Brother Dao and found that he did not show any pain or discomfort, so he was relieved.

In the Journey to the West world, Wukong and the Black Bear Spirit flew to the nearby deep mountains and found several towering trees with a diameter of more than ten feet, and made the trunks into bridge piles.

Then, the Black Bear Spirit found some iron trees, split the trees directly, made them into beams, and then found suitable bridge boards and other things.

After the two brothers prepared all the materials, Wukong flew to Chang'an with a somersault cloud and asked Li Shimin for an imperial edict to confer an imperial title on a general who died in battle in the early years as the river god of Liusha River and to be responsible for the maintenance of the bridge.

When Wukong returned to the Liusha River with the imperial edict, he found that Erlang Shen and Nezha had all come.

"Great Sage, what's going on?"

Erlang Shen was also puzzled:

"Aren't we going to fight Sha Wujing? Why has the river shrunk before the fight even started? Will Xiniu Hezhou be merged with Nanzhanbuzhou?"

Wukong said:

"This is the experiment of His Royal Highness the Son of God, to turn the Liusha River into an ordinary river. You two should be patient. Now the two Heavenly Daos are fighting, and we can't participate."

Erlang Shen took out the Dingfeng Pill, fixed the wind around, and handed Wukong a bag of salt:

"Zigong's well salt has been produced. Li Ke hopes that His Royal Highness the Son of God will sponsor some more packaging bags, cartons, and matching strapping tapes. The more the better. This salt is very popular among the people. The soldiers all say that they feel very strong after eating it."

Wukong put it away and said:

"I'll tell Master later... There are only two tasks at the moment. One is to kill the general Juanlian, and the other is to build a bridge. How do we divide it?"

Three troublemakers, plus a black bear with good fortune, all want the merits in front of them.

Four people, eight hundred minds were working like this, and finally they decided to draw lots, but the lot could not be prepared by any of the four people, but the trembling earth god was called out, and he was asked to prepare four lots, one of which was dyed red, and the person who drew the red lot had priority.

Wukong was the most cunning, he did not cheat, but when drawing lots, this guy secretly prayed to Dun Dun, and then drew the red lot in one fell swoop.

"Thank you, thank you, I will not be polite!"

Wukong immediately chose to eliminate demons and took the project with the most merits.

Erlang Shen Nezha and Black Bear Spirit continued to draw, and this time it was Erlang Shen who won the lot, but he did not choose to repair the bridge, but planned to transport all the bones in the underwater cave, let Xuanzang first pray, and then bury them.

He was responsible for supervising the waters of the world. There was a man-eating water monster in the Liusha River, and Erlang Shen felt that he was responsible, so he chose to bury the dead.

Nezha did not fight with the black bear demon:

"You take care of the bridge repair, I will announce the imperial decree and see if anyone comes to rescue General Juanlian."

Announcing the imperial decree to confer the title of God will also bring merit, and the Water God Temple will be built at the bridge head, and Nezha can also share some incense, so it is not a loss.

After all, he just felt that the world here had changed, so he slipped over from Lingshan to eat melons. Now he has a share of merit, which is a pleasant surprise.

The old land man wiped the sweat from his head, feeling that he had not been so nervous for at least a thousand years.

Wukong took a box of eight-treasure porridge to the land:

"Old man, in the future, I will report the people's livelihood situation here to the underworld regularly, and you will definitely benefit from it."

"Thank you, Great Sage!"

After the land man left with the eight-treasure porridge, Wukong took out some food and deliberately gave Nezha a can of instant lotus root powder, which made the little brother complain that the Great Sage was so childish.

After everyone finished eating and drinking, the strong wind gradually died down, the dark clouds in the sky also dispersed, and the width of the Liusha River became ten miles, and the depth was only about four or five meters at most. The original natural barrier became an ordinary river.

At this time, Xuanzang also returned to the Journey to the West world, indicating that the Heavenly Dao Master had woken up and the renovation project of the Liusha River was officially completed.

Wukong finished drinking the eight-treasure porridge in the jar, wiped his monkey mouth with a heart-to-heart tissue, tidied up his crown and fiery feathers, and then carried the golden hoop and slowly came to the stone tablet of the Liusha River.

He pretended to say:

"So this place is called Liusha River..."

Then he recited the poem on the stone tablet word by word:

"Eight hundred Liusha worlds, three thousand weak waters deep; goose feathers can't float, reed flowers will sink to the bottom!"

Just after reading, there was a splash of water, and a red-haired, blue-faced, ferocious-looking water monster, holding a magic staff, rushed out of the Liusha River...

It should be said that the food of Pang Donglai is delicious and very much in line with my taste. After shopping in the supermarket, I went to the brand new Cao Wei Ancient City to take a look. It was considered the end of my National Day holiday. I will start two updates tomorrow.
