Chapter 139 Red Boy
The monkey was obviously unaware of what the gold and silver boys had done to save him. He spoke with lingering fear about how dangerous it was for him in the Bagua furnace. He managed to escape in the end but ended up crying at the slightest touch of the wind.
Li Anran saw this and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
There are many conspiracies and calculations in this world, but there is also true humanity!
The monkey may have long forgotten that he had helped the Golden Boy, and may not even remember the Golden Boy.
However, the Golden Boy always kept his kindness in his heart, and even after five hundred years, he still hadn't forgotten it!
The monkey then explained that he was not afraid of Red Boy, but was afraid of smoke because of an old habit he had from the past, which was why he suffered a great loss at the hands of Red Boy.
Then he started talking about the origin of Red Boy.
"That monster is called the Holy Infant King. He has some connection with me. His father is my sworn brother, the Bull Demon King Pingtian Great Saint..."
He also talked about the process of how he suffered losses.
"Don't be fooled by the young age of that evil creature. He is very cunning. He first disguised himself as a child kidnapped by bandits..."
As the monkey told the story, Li Anran quickly knew what had happened.
Similar to the original time and space, Red Boy first disguised himself as a child kidnapped by bandits to stir up conflicts between Tang Monk and the monkeys, and took the opportunity to kidnap Tang Monk.
Then he used the Samadhi Fire to burn the monkey to a crisp.
I have to praise Sha Seng here!
Just talking about the Samadhi True Fire, the monkey is actually not particularly afraid of it. Even if he can't deal with it, he can still escape without any problem.
Unfortunately, Sha Seng gave him a stupid idea of "Five Elements Restraint", which led to the Monkey King inviting the Four Dragon Kings to bring down a heavy rain.
As a result, the rain not only failed to put out the fire, but made the fire burn even bigger.
The monkey simply couldn't bear it anymore.
To use the words that the monkey himself said to Guanyin in the original time and space, "You have poisoned all your disciples and almost cost them their lives."
Afterwards, Red Boy predicted that Zhu Bajie would ask Guanyin for help, so he disguised himself as Guanyin and captured Zhu Bajie who went to ask for help and brought him back to the cave.
From this point of view, Red Boy is definitely one of the few monsters on the way to the West who has high IQ and caused the Monkey King to suffer a great loss.
In the original time and space, after the monkey woke up, he went to the South China Sea in person to invite Guanyin, and only then was he able to subdue Red Boy.
But in this world, after the monkey woke up, he did not go to the South China Sea to find Guanyin, but came here.
"Brother Li, this Red Boy acted recklessly and bullied the land and mountain gods, violating the laws of heaven. This is a heinous crime. As the prison god, it is unreasonable for you not to come down to earth and put him in the prison!"
Li Anran: “…” It’s really cause and effect, retribution is inevitable!
Li Anran was speechless.
He was just thinking that Red Boy learned the Samadhi Fire from the Flaming Mountain, and the Flaming Mountain was formed by the bricks that fell into the mortal world when the monkey pushed over the Eight Trigrams Furnace.
From this point of view, the monkey being burned and smoked by Red Boy has a bit of a taste of cause and effect and retribution.
Unexpectedly, the retribution of cause and effect fell upon him again.
He had met the monkey several times when the monkey was suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain.
At that time, the monkey had admitted defeat and surrendered verbally, but he was still unwilling to accept it in his heart. He said openly and secretly that what he did was reasonable and there was nothing wrong with it, and that the Jade Emperor and Tathagata should not have suppressed him under the Five Elements Mountain.
Li Anran was too lazy to talk to the monkey, so he simply gave him a copy of the Heavenly Rules.
Unexpectedly, this monkey learned it seriously and now he can put it into practice. He even knows how to use the Heavenly Law to defeat him.
Li Anran thought about it for a moment and agreed: "Okay, then I'll go with you."
Journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures is not only a calamity, but also a merit.
He had never thought of getting involved, but now, it was the monkey who invited him!
Then it’s not a bad idea to participate and gain some merit!
As for what Lingshan Xuanmen would think...
Li Anran: I don’t know anything. You can’t cause trouble for me, right?
Monkey saw Li Anran walking towards the door and hurriedly stopped him: "Are you alone?"
Li Anran: “???”
The monkey asked again: "Do you have a way to deal with the Samadhi True Fire?"
Li Anran's eyes twitched, and he immediately understood what the monkey had just said.
The monkey came to him for help, but he didn't want him to come down to earth for help. Instead, he wanted to find some helpers and reinforcements in heaven through him.
The monkey had learned to read people's expressions over the years, and seeing that Li Anran was speechless, he smiled and said, "That's great! Let's go! Let's go now! If we go too late, my master might be eaten by the monster !"
Li Anran was too lazy to say anything else and quickened his pace along with the monkey.
However, he knew that the monkey's worries were completely unnecessary!
The journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures was a scheduled battle between Xuanmen and Lingshan.
The failure condition of Lingshan is that Tang Monk becomes worldly-minded or the four guardians, Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, give up the journey to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures.
Although Tang Monk is just an ordinary mortal, he is secretly protected by the Four Valued Officials, the Five Directions Jie Di, the Six Dings and Six Jias who protect the religion, and other gods and Buddhas.
Once he is in real danger of life, these invisible guards will appear to protect him.
By then, let alone Red Boy, even if the three of them worked together, they would not be able to eat Tang Seng!
Li Anran and the monkey left the South Gate of Heaven and flew straight to Xiniu Hezhou.
In an instant, they arrived at Drill Mountain where Red Boy was.
"Brother Li, the monster's cave is right over there!" said the monkey, pointing downwards.
Li Anran looked in the direction the monkey's finger pointed, and saw a rocky cliff. Under the cliff was a cave. In front of the door stood a stone tablet with eight large characters in a flamboyant style engraved on it. They were "Fire Cloud Cave in Dry Pine Stream, Haoshan Mountain".
"good."
Li Anran nodded and was about to go down to subdue the monster, but was stopped by the monkey again.
The monkey said, "Brother Li, I will take care of this monster. You just need to wait for him to set fire and then put out the fire."
Li Anran: "...Okay."
Li Anran really didn't know what to say.
This monkey has suffered such a great loss at the hands of Tathagata , but he hasn't changed his vanity and face-consciousness!
"I am going to leave!"
The monkey leaped forward and turned into a ray of golden light and flew out of the Fire Cloud Cave. He took out his golden cudgel and smashed it towards the gate of the Fire Cloud Cave.
boom!
With a loud bang, the stone gate collapsed and the entire Drill Mountain shook twice.
"Monster, come out quickly! Your grandpa...Uncle Sun is back!" the monkey shouted.
He was afraid of Red Boy's Samadhi Fire and worried that Li Anran would not be able to rescue him in time, so he did not dare to rush in directly. He just picked up the golden cudgel and smashed it hard on the door a few more times.
Soon, there was movement in the Fire Cloud Cave.
First, a group of little demons rushed out pushing five small carts, and placed them according to gold, wood, water, fire and earth.
Immediately afterwards, Red Boy strode out with a flaming spear in his hand.
Her face was as white as powder, her lips were as red as vermilion, she had crescent-shaped eyebrows and phoenix eyes. She wore a dragon and phoenix battle skirt, and had a pair of black cloud-like hair tied up in her hair. She looked very majestic.
Compared to Nezha, Red Boy looks younger and not as handsome as Nezha, but he is more plump, with chubby arms and a small face, looking like a doll in a New Year picture.
However, Li Anran's attention was more on those little monsters.
"No wonder Red Boy's Samadhi True Fire is so powerful, it turns out that he has borrowed the power of the formation!"
The formation formed by the five small cars in front of us seems to be the simplest five elements formation, but there are Taoist patterns engraved on the bodies of the five cars. Obviously, each car is also a formation individually!
This kind of formation within a formation is far more powerful than ordinary formations, but it is also more difficult to set up!
Li Anran immediately thought of the original time and space, when Guanyin said that the Jade Bottle could easily extinguish Red Boy's Samadhi Fire, but she never really fought with Red Boy from beginning to end.
Instead, he chose to draw a spell of bewitching magic on the monkey's palm, and let the monkey pretend to be defeated and lure Red Boy out alone.
He also took advantage of Red Boy's curiosity and tricked him onto the lotus platform that he had conjured up using Li Jing's thirty-six Tiangang swords. He then trapped Red Boy in a sword formation, put a tight hoop on Red Boy, and forcibly converted him into his disciple.
This does not mean that Guanyin's Jade Bottle cannot extinguish Red Boy's Samadhi Fire.
But, it is obvious that Guanyin knew that Red Boy's Samadhi Fire and this formation were difficult to deal with, so she chose this most labor-saving method.
When Red Boy saw the monkey, he gnashed his teeth in anger and shouted, "You monkey! I let you take advantage of me, but you are still not satisfied and you come to break down my door again. What crime should you be punished for?"
What Red Boy was talking about was the incident in which the monkey disguised himself as the Bull Demon King and took advantage of him in the Red Cloud Cave.
Although Red Boy finally saw through the monkey's trick, he still called the monkey "Daddy" several times .
The monkey never suffered a loss, and said with a smile: "My son, what crime should you be punished for driving your father out of the house?"
Red Boy suddenly became furious and shouted, "I will kill you!" He rushed forward waving his flaming spear and went straight for the monkey's chest.
when!
The monkey swung his stick forward and directly put the flaming spear aside, still taking advantage of the situation: "My son, you are really going too far! Not only did you drive your father out of the house, you also wanted to kill him! You are such a rebellious son!"
"Asshole, you're looking for death!"
After all, Red Boy lacks vocabulary, and he only uses a few swear words, which are far less lethal than the monkey.
After a few words, I was so angry that my three souls jumped and my seven orifices were fuming.
The fire spear stabbed out repeatedly, and the red tassel was like a flame, bringing up a dazzling red glow, as if it wanted to poke thousands of holes in the monkey's body.
"My son, why are you angry? This is not good!"
The monkey was not willing to be outdone, or perhaps he knew that Li Anran was watching from the side, and he had some thoughts of clearing his name, so he swung the golden cudgel with ease, and the shadow of the cudgel merged into one, shining with golden light.
Ding, ding, ding, ding…
Two rays of light, one red and one gold, kept meeting and separating in the air.
The Fire Spear and the Golden Cudgel also kept colliding with each other.
The terrifying power caused ripples in the void like the surface of water, and the dazzling light was like suns, illuminating the area within a hundred miles with a blazing white.
Red Boy's cultivation is not as good as that of the fake Tongtian, he is only at the Golden Immortal realm.
However, he had perfect control over his own energy and spirit, and during the fight with the monkey, almost no magic power was wasted.
It can be said that all the energy and spirit are concentrated at one point, and one's own strength is exerted to the extreme.
The fight between the two was subtle and not as loud as the one caused by the fake Tongtian, but the exquisiteness of their moves and the use of magic power far surpassed the latter.
However, Li Anran felt that "The monkey's strength has declined too much. Compared with the time when he made trouble in Heaven, he is much worse!"
Li Anran had seen scenes of monkeys making trouble in the Heavenly Palace in the lives of some sinful immortals.
Although there are only some fragmentary fragments, we can still see the style of the Monkey King.
Compared to now, not only is the monkey's cultivation far inferior to when he made trouble in Heaven, but his momentum is also vastly different!
This resulted in his moves not changing much from before, but the power was significantly weakened, always giving people a feeling of being timid.
However, since this is the case, the Monkey can still be said to be one of the war gods of the three realms!
Red Boy tried his best, but he could only block about a hundred attacks before his forehead began to sweat and his hands and feet became weak, and he could hardly resist any more.
The monkey also noticed this, and he exerted even more force with his hands, and smashed the golden cudgel heavily on Red Boy's head.
Although Li Anran told him not to worry about the Samadhi True Fire, it would be so face-saving if he could capture Red Boy without Li Anran's help!
when!
There was another sound of weapons clashing. Red Boy's arms were shaking with pain, and the base of his palm that was holding the Fire Spear was cracked and blood was flowing out.
Seeing the monkey rushing forward again, Red Boy threw away the flaming spear in his hand without saying a word, and turned into a red cloud and retreated backwards.
"not good!"
The monkey got anxious and jumped up to catch up, but he was still a step too late.
Red Boy had already retreated to the entrance of Fire Cloud Cave, stood on the small cart in the middle, and shouted fiercely: "You naughty monkey, I'm going to burn you to death!"
Bang! Bang!
Red Boy clenched his fist with one hand, punched his nose twice, chanted a spell, and fire came out of his mouth, thick smoke burst out of his nose, and flames appeared in the blink of an eye.
Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!
Flames burst out from those small cars, red flames, and the fire burned into the sky, dyeing the entire Fire Cloud Cave, a hundred miles around, red.
"Could the Bull Demon King really be the Kui Niu, the mount of Master Tongtian?"
In his previous life, Li Anran had read many speculations that the Bull Demon King was the Taoist Master Tongtian, Kui Niu, but he had always been skeptical.
Because Tongtian’s Kuiniu is a black buffalo, while the Bull Demon King’s true form is a big white bull.
But now, he somewhat believed it.
Red Boy's martial arts, flying skills, Samadhi Fire and especially the flame formation before him were obviously all taught by a master!
Moreover, this expert is not just ordinary expert!
Buzz!
Li Anran used his divine eye to look downward.
Invisible red lines were seen connecting the cars together, forming a flame formation, which amplified the already raging fire by more than ten times.
This flame formation is extremely mysterious and is not inferior to the Ziwei Star Fighting Formation in the slightest!
You know, the Ziwei Star Fighting Formation is judged by the system as a seventh-level formation!
It is equivalent to the Hehuan technique created by the Fox Ancestor!
It is impossible to learn formations of this level without a deep enough background!
Li Anran looked at the formation in front of him, and the first thing he thought of was the Earth Fierce Formation of Zhao Jiang, one of the Ten Heavenly Lords of Jiejiao.
Zhao Jiang's Earth Fiery Array was exactly what was broken by the former Taoist Cihang, now the Bodhisattva Guanyin, using the Jade Purifying Bottle!
