Chaos Spirit Field

Zhao Shanhe, on his way west, had a wry smile on his face. Women with excessive curiosity were indeed troublesome. Long Shisi couldn't help but ask, "Master, you don't seem very happy."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "My son is dead, so why should we celebrate? Shut up, I want to be quiet."

At this moment, a woman's voice came: "Master Xuanzang, your Jingjing is here."

Long Shisi couldn't help laughing when he saw the person coming. He teased, "White Haired Girl, you are so ugly, and you dare to pretend to be my master's woman. You are really presumptuous."

The man said angrily: "Bitch, I'm going to freeze you into a popsicle."

Long Shisi shouted loudly, "Big Brother, come alive and let this monster have a taste of your stick."

Yuan Hong was not ambiguous when he heard this. He hit the person with a stick, and the person turned into snowflakes and fell down. He asked with a puzzled look on his face, "Master, what kind of monster is this?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "This is a snow demon. Although it's not very powerful, it's extremely formidable. Let's find a cave and stay there for the time being."

As soon as they moved into the cave, heavy snow began to fall, and the sky and the earth gradually turned white. Long Shisi shivered and said, "Master, it's so cold."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Long Shisi, this is just a psychological effect. A calm mind naturally warms you up. This is a test for you."

Long Shisi asked in confusion, "Master, I'm not a pilgrim, what's the point of testing me?"

Zhao Shanhe sighed and said, "The Buddha has changed the rules, and there's nothing I can do about it. When the snow stops, we'll continue on our journey."

Yuan Hong asked in confusion: "Master, can't this snow demon be killed?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Although the Snow Demon's strength is average, there are only a few in the Three Realms who can restrain her. I am one of them, but the rules of the Journey to the West have changed, and the Buddha has not allowed me to take action."

"Master, besides you, who else can restrain the Snow Demon?"

"Master Lu Ya, the mastermind behind the Snow Demon, no longer acts recklessly. He has learned to use tactics instead."

At this moment, a man appeared outside the cave. It was none other than Lu Ya Zhenren. He said, "Master Xuanzang, it's been a long time since we last met. If you return the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife, I will take the Snow Demon away. What do you think?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Amitabha, although I have become a monk, I will never forget my mother's teachings: I will eat anything, but I will never suffer any loss. You have already caused disasters on the journey to the West. If you attack again, I will kill you, and even Buddha cannot save you."

Lu Ya Zhenren was a little frightened. He pretended to be calm and said, "Xuanzang, I want to see how you can subdue the Snow Demon."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "The Five Elements are mutually reinforcing and mutually restraining. It's actually not difficult to subdue the Snow Demon. Besides the Sun's True Fire, the Holy Infant's Samadhi True Fire can also work."

Lu Ya Zhenren smiled and said, "You are right. It's a pity that the Holy Infant has entered Buddhism and cannot take action."

"The Holy Infant is indeed forbidden, but his father is not restricted. The Heavenly Dao does not allow the replacement of the Lord of Heaven, so the Great Master Xuandu has no worries."

Lu Ya replied, "The price you paid for asking Master Xuandu to help you is not low."

Zhao Shanhe shook his head and said, "Helping this poor monk overcome his calamity is a great merit. If he doesn't want to help, Taishang Laojun can actually do it. Now it depends on who will sell the Queen Mother's face."

Lu Ya Zhenren thought to himself that this was not good. He said, "Xuanzang, how about I take the Snow Demon away now?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Since she has already fallen into the calamity, she must bear the consequences. If you take action, I can also flex my muscles. Do you want to give it a try? I'm sure the Queen Mother will be very pleased with a Golden Crow of the Daluo Jinxian. I actually miscalculated; it was actually the Taishang Laojun who came."

Taishang Laojun said: "Master Xuanzang, I have come here by the order of the Queen Mother of Heaven to help you conquer the demon."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Xuanzang thanks Taishang Laojun for his help. Take this tight-binding curse. The Queen Mother knows how to activate it. I wonder if Laojun is interested in capturing a Golden Crow."

Taishang Laojun glanced at Lu Ya Zhenren and replied expressionlessly: "I am here to subdue the Snow Demon."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Master Lu Ya, you should be thankful that it's the Jade Emperor who has come this time, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to use my tight-fitting curse to deliver an extra one. I have a deal to make. If you wear this tight-fitting curse, I'll return the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife to you."

Master Lu Ya was tempted to reach out and take it, but then the goddess Nuwa appeared and shouted, "Master Lu Ya, you can't do that."

Zhao Shanhe saw Master Lu Ya regain consciousness and thought it was a shame. He said, "Nuwa, I have humbled myself to seduce a bird. Could you please not make trouble? Master Lu Ya, as long as you put on the "Tightening Curse," this promise will be valid at any time. I will give you the Immortal Slaying Flying Knife and the Gourd."

Master Lu Ya broke out in a cold sweat. He had nearly fallen into a trap just now. He was still somewhat tempted by Zhao Shanhe's proposal. Seeing this, Lady Nuwa quickly said, "Master Lu Ya, don't forget that Xuanzang also possesses the True Sun Fire. Greed is the original sin."

At this moment, Taishang Laojun came over. He had already subdued the Snow Demon and said, "Master Xuanzang, your magic spell is truly ingenious. It even affects the soul. Your weapon refining skills are already higher than mine, and no less than Zhao Zilong who refined the innate spiritual treasure."

Zhao Shanhe replied, "Taishang Laojun, you're being a bit unkind. You see the truth but don't say it. We're still good friends. Innate spiritual treasures are just that, so-so. As long as I have the ingredients, I can refine them in a matter of minutes. Zhao Zilong is nothing more than a thief. Goddess Nuwa, you'd better tie this bird up."

Nuwa glared at Zhao Shanhe and left with Lu Ya. Taishang Laojun also returned with the Snow Demon to report. Long Shisi trembled and asked, "Master, the Snow Demon has been subdued by Taishang Laojun, so why hasn't the snow melted yet?"

Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Long Shisi, the Snow Demon is a test for your master, and this thousand miles of white snow is a test for you. It's time for us to get going."

"Master, why don't we wait until the snow melts before we leave?"

"Long Shisi, since this is a test, the snow won't melt unless we leave."

"Master, can I turn into a dragon?"

"You can try."

Long Shisi tried several times but still couldn't recover. He said aggrievedly, "Master, can you please remove the restriction?"

Zhao Shanhe replied, "The restrictions imposed by the Goddess Nuwa cannot be broken by your master. From now on, just be a horse. Although the snow is cold, it can't hurt you. A little more training will do you good."

Long Shisi couldn't help but complain, "Nuwa doesn't dare to bully you, she only dares to bully an honest man like me."

Zhao Shanhe smiled and said, "Long Shisi, you know that saints are everywhere. Just pray for your own good fortune."

Long Shisi suddenly found that his voice had turned into the neigh of a horse. He looked at Zhao Shanhe with grievance, as if seeking help.

Zhao Shanhe said, "A saint should not be offended. As a teacher, I am powerless. From now on, I am finally at peace. Amitabha."
