Chapter 21021 What a plan

I asked him, "How many people have you eaten so far? Do you have any magic weapons on you?"

But he told me that he had never eaten a human being.

"Ah, you're still a Suhe?"

He corrected me dissatisfiedly: "Don't call me Su He!"

Me: …If not Su Yao, then Su Yao Su Ren? !

"Well! I have a treasure on my hand, it's called the Map of Mountains, Rivers and States! This magic weapon is very suitable. It can hold mountains and rivers, and take in the fireworks of the world. When it is opened, it becomes a small world, which is very comfortable! Do you want to come and broaden your horizons?" He turned his wrist, and a scroll appeared in the palm of his hand.

I do know something about the Shanhe Shejitu, but it's completely different from what I know now. Because in my impression, this object is said to be a magic weapon bestowed by Nuwa to Yang Jian, so it shouldn't be in Hedi's hands.

"Who gave it to you?" I asked him.

He didn't explain this question, seemingly intent on keeping me in the dark. I had no intention of digging deeper. Frankly, Yang Jian should call Taiyi Zhenren "Uncle Master," so borrowing his magic weapon wouldn't be a bad idea. And... I glanced at He. He and I were accidentally transported here by the whirlpool in the lotus pond. I'm certain He didn't possess any mountain, river, and state maps back then, so the magic weapon he holds now must have been a gift from the current Yang Jian or Taiyi Zhenren. But that's not certain. Giving away a magic weapon so openly would be too blatant. It must have been done in secret.

Just to travel west?

Is it such a big deal?

Furthermore, when he contacted me earlier, he was still considering how to embarrass Tang Sanzang and his companions. Now he even has a magic weapon. Obviously, he acquired it during the time we haven't met. Does that mean he knows this calamity is just a formality?

So the main storyline of this calamity is still White Tiger Ridge. As for the Four Kings, you can forget about them. They have nothing to do with my Yunshui River anyway. Just treat them as ordinary NPCs in Journey to the West.

I hid the strangeness in my eyes and said in a playful manner:

"With this magic weapon, Sun Wukong must be in a headache!" After the Mountain and River State Map teleports people into the painting, what happens next?

"That's right! Listen up, little sister! As soon as Tang Monk arrives, I'll send someone to capture him. When you're done, I'll steam or braise him, whatever you like!"

I smiled: Not necessarily.

Then he said seriously, "Brother, who are you planning to send? Could it be that White Bone Lady?"

"Three Strikes on the White Bone Demon" was at least included in the textbooks, and it was officially recognized as a masterpiece.

Hesi glanced at me, her eyes full of admiration: "You are worthy of being my good little sister! You are exactly what I thought! When we catch Tang Sanzang, we two brothers and sisters will make a good spicy hot pot!"

I:……

No, where did you know about Malatang?!

"Don't speak Sichuanese. What if people mistakenly think you can perform Sichuan opera?"

Although he didn't understand what Sichuan Opera was, He did stop speaking Sichuan dialect afterwards.

Then he explained to me seriously:

"Little sister, you may not know this, but this White Tiger Ridge was originally the lair of the White Bone Demon. Relying on her ever-changing abilities, she lured countless people to her prey. Because of this, the Heavenly Court once sent the Third Prince down to the mortal realm to eliminate the demon. Logically, the White Bone Demon should have been easily destroyed by the Third Prince, yet why did she survive?"

I:……

Why do I feel more serious after stopping speaking Sichuan dialect?

However, I think this is not mentioned in Journey to the West.

"Good brother, tell me quickly!"

He smiled. When he wasn't smiling or talking, he had a certain ethereal aura. Now that he was smiling, it felt like ice and snow were melting.

I locked my shoulders, eager to hear some explosive gossip from him, but he told me, "Because of Tang Monk."

I:……

It suddenly wilted.

"Tang Monk had to go through 81 trials on his journey to the West, and our White Tiger Ridge is one of them."

Oh, so you knew that, too. Indeed, the gods in heaven gifted him with magic weapons. But then again, the difficulty of White Tiger Ridge is truly exponentially more difficult.

"But then again, the Third Prince wants to kill the White Bone Demon but can't. Can he compromise?"

The White Bone Demon is a demon that brings disaster to the area, and Nezha has always hated evil. Moreover, he doesn't look like he will obey.

He said, "So, to vent his anger, he beat all the monsters in White Tiger Ridge half to death. Since then, these monsters have dared not cause trouble in the area anymore."

“…”

I smelled the smell on my body and suddenly understood why these monsters ran away when they saw me.

"Are you saying that the monsters in White Tiger Ridge no longer eat humans?"

It sounds a bit like a fairy tale.

"But I just heard that white tiger demon say he wanted to capture those three people and eat them."

He scoffed, "It's just talk. Even though they won't eat humans anymore, it's good to scare them. We can't lose the prestige of White Tiger Ridge. Besides, not eating humans doesn't mean not killing people. Besides, the Third Prince patrols the sky from time to time. These monsters are scared and dare not act rashly."

It sounds reasonable, but I still have this weird feeling that the devil is always stronger than the good.

"Good brother, have you seen the Third Prince?"

He shook his head. "A day in heaven is a year on earth. I don't think the Third Prince is on patrol every day, is he?"

It seems so.

I don't know when I can see Xiao Lianhua again. I miss him a little bit. If I shout "Xiao Lianhua" now, will he answer me?

Life in the lotus pond is still comfortable. Even if I can't transform into a human, I don't have to think about anything. I can just swim around in the pond or lie on the lotus leaves to bask in the sun. On the other hand, in this mortal world, I have to think about everything because of the calamity of the journey to the west, and I am afraid that I will die if I am not careful!

"Don't you miss him?" I couldn't help but ask He.

As Taiyi Zhenren's mount, he should have watched the little lotus grow up, right?

He was speechless and said, "Who would have thought that brat would annoy me the moment I saw him. It was only when he grew up that he began to become more sensible..."

When it comes to this topic, Crane chatters on and on.

The Nezha he described is a completely different image from the little lotus I know and the third young master I saw in my dream.

"But it's really rare that after being resurrected, he actually has moments of shyness."

I:……

Thinking of the pieces of wood at the bottom of the pond, I felt that the crane was watching the fun again.

I was too lazy to correct him again and again; he just loved to watch the fun. The topic of Nezha ended for the time being, and He returned to the White Bone Demon.

"The White Bone Demon can transform into any man, woman, old or young, so it's more than enough for her to deceive Tang Monk."

I reminded him, "His senior disciple has a pair of piercing eyes, so it wouldn't be difficult for him to see through the transformation."

He, however, was not worried. He said, "So what? If Tang Sanzang trusts Sun Wukong's Fiery Eyes without a single iota of confidence, he will have to lie down and endure more than half of these 81 events."

I scratched my head. Why did he sound like he was reading a script? Or was it just my imagination?

By the way, I have forgotten where I heard it from, but the play "Three Fights with the White Bone Demon" also has the saying of beheading the three corpses.

"Okay, little sister, don't worry about this. Just wait for Tang Seng to come." He patted my shoulder. He seemed to see my uneasiness and put my mind at ease.

It's true that I've been freed from the calamity, so there's really no need to worry too much. But for some reason, I always feel like this calamity isn't that simple.

Before leaving, I asked He to keep the three of them locked up for a while. If they were accidentally stabbed, it wouldn't be a big deal. But we just had to make sure they didn't reach the other side. Then I grabbed the fruit basket I'd brought and left.

After returning to Yunshui River, I brought Lady Liu out of the riverbed. The killer's threat was temporarily resolved, so I let her return to her home. The riverbed was too damp after all.

After that, I waited for news from the Taoist priest and the arrival of my master Tang Seng and his disciples.
