"Isn't this... Sha Seng?" The first time Lin Chong saw the big man, he recognized the image of Sha Seng and Sha Wujing from the "Journey to the West" that he had replayed endlessly during his childhood summer vacations.

"It's not Namo Eight Treasures Golden Body Arhat, but Sha Tongtian." An old man selling steamed buns said, "It is said that he is the descendant of the Golden Body Arhat, who can subdue demons and magic, and is invincible to immortals and saints."

"Sha Tongtian..." Lin Chong pondered, the descendant of a famous person, must be the second generation.

At this time, Wei Yingwu appeared in Lin Chong's sight. This Niwan-stage human cultivator handed Sha Tongtian a large bag of silver with a grin. Sha Tongtian weighed it and became furious: "How dare you, kid, fool me with bricks and tiles!"

"Hey? Uncle Sha, how come it's bricks and tiles? We have to be honest when doing business..." Wei Yingwu retorted hurriedly, but he was stunned when he saw that the package that was opened actually contained a pile of bricks and tiles.

"Get out!" Sha Tongtian pushed Wei Yingwu.

Wei Yingwu dug into his other package and found it was still a pile of mud and tiles. His two thousand taels of silver! He was furious and pointed at Sha Tongtian, "It's you who defamed me! Give me back the two thousand taels of silver I worked so hard to save!"

"Saved with great effort? Wasn't it all won in the gambling house in this town? I'm afraid someone switched it. Get out! Don't be an eyesore here!" Sha Tongtian stood up suddenly. He was more than two meters tall, two heads taller than Wei Yingwu. Wei Yingwu immediately became scared.

"Please stop arguing, you two. I will pay for this young brother's boat fare." Lin Chong walked up and took out two thousand taels of silver from Wei Yingwu's bag after he used magic to freeze Wei Yingwu last night, and gave it to Sha Tongtian.

"This is the boat fare for both of us," said Lin Chong.

Sha Tongtian nodded and said, "Yes," and waved his hand, signaling the two to get on the boat quickly.

"Brother, who are you?" Wei Yingwu was a little confused. Where did this kind-hearted person come from?

"My name is Kang Xuanlu, and I'm a scholar who plans to go to Xiniu Hezhou to see the world." Lin Chong said with a smile.

As they were talking, the boat had already started, carrying a dozen people on board and drifting into the stormy Quicksand River.

"...Why do I feel that your tone of voice is a little familiar?" Wei Yingwu, who has great luck and is extremely sensitive to danger, pondered.

"Maybe this is fate." Lin Chong continued to laugh, "May I know your name, brother? I see your clothes, you seem to be a fairy?"

"I am Wei Yingwu from the Dongting Immortal Sect, nice to meet you, Brother Kang." Wei Yingwu bowed.

"I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. So you are the descendant of the immortal way. I wonder what are you going to Xiniu Hezhou for?" Lin Chong asked.

"Nothing much, just going for a walk~" Wei Yingwu replied.

"Should we go to the Great Leiyin Temple?" someone next to him suddenly spoke.

Wei Yingwu was suddenly shocked.

When Wei Yingwu said that he wanted to stroll around Nanniuhezhou, Lin Chong naturally didn't believe it. Crossing two continents for half a year, sleeping in the open air, just to stroll around with no destination?

No other travel enthusiasts on earth are so idle.

But when the person next to him mentioned the Great Leiyin Temple, Lin Chong understood and couldn't help but think of the purple gold bowl hidden in his own cellar.

Think again of the treasure-hunting behavior of "hitting the sky's chance" that Wei Ying had highly praised before.

Are we going to the Great Leiyin Temple to seek the secret of the manifestation of merit?

It is true that life never ends and the treasure hunt never ends.

The person who spoke was Sha Tongtian.

Sha Tongtian, with his bare chest and holding a large oar, steered the small boat to drift in the 800-li Quicksand River. Yellow sand was rolling in the sky and raging waves were rolling in the water. It was impossible to see what was happening within a hundred meters ahead, but the boat was sailing very steadily, which showed Sha Tongtian's boat-handling skills.

Seeing Wei Yingwu hiding, Sha Tongtian sneered, "There are more than a dozen people on this boat. Who isn't going for the opportunity at the Great Leiyin Temple? I don't know what Buddhist treasures you have in your hands, but if you provoke the water monster in the Quicksand River, throw it in immediately, or I will throw you in too!"

"Sha Tongtian, you took our money, and now you're going to do something murderous?!" a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman said in horror.

“It’s not me either.” Sha Tongtian looked at the flowing sand river, “You are either from Nanzhanbuzhou or Dongshengshenzhou. There are Taoist forces in those two continents. I’m afraid you don’t know what Xiniuhezhou looks like now…”

"What does Xiniu Hezhou look like?" someone asked.

"The Buddhist heritage has been cut off, demons are rampant, and in the thirty-two years since Jedi Tongtian came into being, the human beings of Xiniu Hezhou have been almost devoured by the demons!" Sha Tongtian snorted coldly.

Huh? Everyone on the boat looked at each other in shock.

"Is it that miserable?" someone asked in disbelief.

"If you can cross the river safely, you will know it if you see it with your own eyes." Sha Tongtian said, "The demons on Xiniu Hezhou are everywhere trying to steal the Buddhist treasures. If they steal the treasures, they will gain merit. With merit, the demons can also become Arhats and Bodhisattvas. So I say, you better be careful..."

There is no wrong version in the 1619 book forum!

Before Sha Tongtian could finish his words, a column of strong wind suddenly blew out from the yellow sand in front of him, and the water surface became turbulent. The boat was almost capsized, and Sha Tongtian hurriedly inserted an oar directly into the river bottom, like the heart of a scale, to stabilize the boat on the water.

"What monster dares to mess with your Grandpa Sha!" Sha Tongtian shouted.

"It's your Fu Bo Luo Han Yi Cheng Jin Grandpa!"

A loud roar was also heard in the yellow sand, and then two huge red lanterns emerged. When you get closer, you can see that the lanterns are not lanterns, but two huge fish eyes. It looks like a fish head that is bigger than the entire boat, floating on the water.

"So it's a scale of gold. After eating a few treasures of merit, you dare to call yourself an Arhat?" Sha Tongtian sneered.

"You must have at least a thousand years of merit!" The big fish spoke in human language, "I ate a few Buddha bones, they were delicious. What are you transporting this time?"

The big fish's lantern-like eyes glanced towards the small boat, and immediately, more than a dozen people, either in their arms or in their bags, had brilliant golden light coming out.

"Oh my, it really is carrying treasures!" Big Fish laughed, "These days, the only ones who dare to cross the Quicksand River are the Taoists heading for the Great Leiyin Temple. They all have prizes. Hurry up and present the treasures to your grandfather Fubo Luohan!"

"Master Sha, look at this..." The monk who looked like a businessman immediately became anxious.

"I am only responsible for ferrying you, not for protecting your safety. If you think you can beat it, just give it a try. Don't blame me for not reminding you that the monsters in Xiniu Hezhou are about merit. A thousand years of merit requires ten thousand years of refining to be as good as the great saints of the monster tribe over there."

Sha Tongtian said this in a low voice, but he put the oars sideways in the middle of the river, waiting for the passengers to make their choice.

The passengers were suddenly in an uproar. Among them, the one with the highest level of cultivation was only a golden elixir. If their cultivation was not insufficient and they did not receive the true teachings, who would travel thousands of miles to the Great Leiyin Temple to look for opportunities?

A great sage is equivalent to a Taoist priest in the divine realm. How could he possibly defeat him?

So one by one, after much deliberation and being repeatedly threatened by the big fish, they all took out Buddhist treasures from their bodies with great difficulty, such as oil lamps, Buddha bones, or scriptures, and threw them into the river, and the big fish swallowed them one by one.

When it came to Wei Yingwu, his face turned pale, his hands trembled, and he took out from his arms... a wooden fish?

Good night~ I read all the gossips of Dianniang today. Even I, who don't read forums, got this big news from Sina Technology. Since I have so much free time, I should speed up a bit. I will try to update five times a day starting tomorrow~
