Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 4 Searching for the Immortal Master Out of the Mountain Village

As soon as Zhang Xing got home, he heard a "bang" on the door, and then saw his mother, Mrs. Zhang, rushing home with a wooden bucket of clothes.As soon as he saw Zhang Xing, he asked, "Xing'er, are you okay!" Then he looked at Zhang Xing with concern.

Before Zhang Xing could answer, another voice came from the door, "Mom, slow down, brother will be fine." Another figure came in from the door. It turned out that Zhang Xing's younger sister, Yun'er, came back with her mother. .

"Mother, I'm fine. It's just that there were immortals fighting in Honglian Mountain just now. Now that they've all left, I'm fine." Zhang Xing looked at Zhang's concerned eyes and comforted him.

"It's fine, it's fine." Hearing his son say it's fine, Mrs. Zhang felt relieved.After all, "Gods fight, mortals suffer." The red light that filled the sky just now was so powerful that it really startled Mrs. Zhang, who was washing clothes, and rushed back in a hurry for fear of something happening at home.

After comforting his mother, Zhang Xing went back to his room. First, he calmed down the scene he saw just now. I have to say that the battle just now made Zhang Xing more clearly understand that he is a fairy, and he also recognized that Zhang Xing was there. There is a clear goal on the way of practice.

After sorting out his mood, Zhang Xing came to the desk and picked up the pen on the pen holder, and thought of the simplest and most basic talisman among talismans - the fireball talisman.Fireball Talisman: After activating the Talisman Paper, a fireball will appear to attack the enemy.Zhang Xing thought about how to draw the Fireball Talisman in his mind, then dipped a brush in cinnabar and picked up the brush to draw.Seeing that he was about to succeed, suddenly the yellow paper on the table ignited spontaneously without fire, and burned the talisman paper to ashes.

Although he failed, Zhang Xing was not discouraged. He changed another piece of yellow paper and continued to draw.This time, the talisman paper did not ignite spontaneously. The moment Zhang Xing closed his pen, he felt that the hair-like aura in his body was reduced by a third, and the talisman paper on the table only flashed red, and returned to the ordinary yellow color. It looks like paper, but Zhang Xing knows he has succeeded.

Next, Zhang Xing drew two more times, and did not stop drawing symbols until the aura in his body was exhausted.And there was another Fireball Talisman on the table.Zhang Xing did some calculations, and the success rate of drawing fireball symbols by himself is about [-]%, which is still acceptable for a novice.Feeling the emptiness in his body, Zhang Xing couldn't help but feel a emptiness, and Xin Hao felt that it came and went quickly.

Zhang Xing, who had just finished drawing the talisman, suddenly heard his father Zhang Peng's voice from outside, "Ma'am, is there anything wrong at home?" Then he heard his mother Zhang's voice, "Everyone in the family is fine, but what is going on? Huh?" "Hey, don't mention it! For some reason, a fairy and a monster appeared on the back mountain to compete for a red lotus, so a fight broke out, but luckily it didn't affect the village!" Zhang Peng explained to his wife.

Hearing this, Zhang Xing stopped listening, but adjusted his breath on the bed, thinking about what to do in the future.Although I have now stepped into the threshold of a monk, the only thing that the old Taoist has passed on to me is a basic practice method and some talisman practice methods.Now that the old way is gone, how can I seek benefits in Journey to the West with such a little cultivation?It seems that the only way to learn from the monkey grandson is to become a teacher.

But there are still a few problems to be resolved before apprenticeship.One: Since this is the world of immortals, there are monsters and ghosts. With my cultivation level, I went out to find immortals and apprentices, and accidentally found the food on the mountain where the monsters had not yet turned into monsters.Two: Parents will not allow me to go out, how can I get them to agree to me?Three: Although I know that this is the world of Journey to the West, but now I am in Dongsheng Shenzhou, but I don’t know the geographical environment here at all, and I don’t know where to go.So before you go out, you need to understand these three questions.

After running for a week, Zhang Xing collected the exercises, picked up the two talisman papers on the table, pushed open the door and went out. Before he entered the hall, he heard a commotion inside. Zhang Xing walked in and found out A large number of people gathered at home were discussing the fairy-monster war that took place today.Uncle Wang whom Zhang Xing had just crossed over was also among them.

Zhang Xing looked at the hall and walked out. Just a few steps away, a voice shouted, "Xing'er, dinner is about to come, where are you going!"

It turned out that Zhang Peng yelled when he saw his son coming out as if he was walking out, and this yell also stopped the noisy hall.Zhang Xing turned around and respectfully said, "Father, I have something to go to my husband, and I'll be right back."

"Then, be careful outside, go back quickly!" Zhang Peng urged after hearing his son's answer.

"Well, father, I will be careful." Zhang Xing said, then turned around and walked out the door, walking towards Mr. Zhang's house.

When he arrived at Mr. Zhang's house, Zhang Xing hadn't greeted him yet.Mr. Zhang yelled, "You boy, who did you meet? Fortunately, nothing caused any harm. Otherwise, let's see how I deal with you."

Although I expected to be in trouble, I didn't expect Mr. Zhang to have such a big reaction, "Sir, the student didn't expect that Taoist to know the law. This incident made me realize that I don't have enough experience, and I want to go out and travel." , so I would like to borrow some books about the geographical environment from my husband to read, and I hope that my husband will be successful." Zhang Xing found an excuse to state the purpose of this trip.

Hearing Zhang Xing's explanation, Mr. Zhang also calmed down. Although he was a little suspicious, he still said to Zhang Xing, "It's too early for you to go out and travel, let's talk about it later, but you want to borrow a book about the geographical environment. You You can watch it here, but you can’t take it out because it’s too important.”

Although no books were lent out, they were still readable, and the purpose was fulfilled, so Zhang Xing left and went home.

After lunch, Zhang Xing came to Mr. Zhang's house, walked through the hall to the school, and found books on geography and environment on the bookshelf. At this moment, footsteps came from outside the door. Zhang Xing felt strange that Mr. Zhang would not bother yourself!Who else will come at this time?

Thinking of this and looking back, I saw a handsome young man in a white shirt and a scholar's crown walking in.

This time, Zhang Xing looked at the handsome young man in front of him and remembered his memory.

"This young man's name is Xiao Yichen. He came to this small village with his mother eight years ago. No one in the village has ever seen his father. The family is orphaned and widowed. Their lives are peaceful, but Xiao Yichen is very talented in reading and very He is loved by Mr. Zhang. But he himself rarely communicates with the classmates in the village, alienating everyone, which is why Zhang Xing only nodded to him before."

Zhang Xing and Xiao Yichen looked at each other, then walked away, and continued to look for books, and Xiao Yichen was also surprised for a moment, as if he didn't expect someone to arrive earlier than him, but he only looked at Zhang Xing, then found a book and started to read it by himself .

Winter goes to spring, and it is another year in a blink of an eye.It has been a year since Zhang Xing traveled to the world of Journey to the West. During this year, Zhang Xing has completely adapted to the life of this world, and the "Small Realm Basic Practice Method" has also reached the late stage of foundation establishment, and it is only one step away from ending. Dan.

During the period, Zhang Xing also talked with his family about the idea of ​​going out for a trip. Sure enough, all the family members were unanimously opposed. In the end, Zhang Xing only used a fireball talisman, and said that a master taught him a spell. Now he has The ability to protect reluctantly agreed, but Zhang Xing could not leave until he was 13 years old.

And during this year, Zhang Xing also knew the geographical environment within a hundred miles through Mr. Zhang's collection of books, and he also had a goal for where to go after going out.

And today is Zhang Xing's 13th birthday, and it is also the day when Zhang Xing will travel.So no one in the family is happy.

Even if he didn't want to anymore, it was time to travel, and Zhang Xing bid farewell to his family with a package prepared by his mother Zhang on his back.

"Father, mother, I'm leaving!" Zhang Xing said with some sobs. "Sister, you have to listen to your parents and stop being naughty."

As soon as Zhang Xing finished speaking, Mrs. Zhang broke down in tears, while her younger sister Yun'er took Zhang Xing's hand and said, "Brother, Yun'er doesn't want you to go, Yun'er will stop being naughty in the future."

Although Zhang Peng didn't cry, his red eyes still didn't fool Zhang Xing. "Xing'er, come back if you have a bad time outside! Remember that there is still a home here that belongs to you."

Hearing this sentence, Zhang Xingzai couldn't hold back his tears, turned around hastily, and walked out of the village, leaving only a strong back for his family.
