Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 621 There are not only monsters blocking the way westward, but also pigs wrangling
As mentioned last time, Tang Seng left Gaolao Village after receiving the hard work of carrying and leading horses. After walking for five or seven days, he came to the front of Futu Mountain.

Zen Master Wuchao has been lost for many years. At that time, half of Futu Mountain collapsed, and no one recovered.

Difficulty on the road is only second, the key is the death of Zen Master Wuchao, no one passed on Tang Monk's "Multi-Heart Sutra", and after being taken away by the monster, he must think about it, maybe the monster has not eaten him, he will be anxious first And died.

Tang Seng saw that Tang Seng was walking as if sticking to his feet with glutinous rice, and immediately became a little impatient. Without saying a word, he whistled and disappeared without a trace, leaving only the bewildered monkey and the expressionless Tang Seng.

It is said that with the protection of Bajie, the pig demon of Marshal Linfan of the Canopy, Tang Seng is less dependent on monkeys, and he is dispensable to monkeys, so he did not lift his eyes when he left, and even wished for monkeys to go I won't be coming back.

After walking on the difficult and steep mountain road for more than an hour, Tang Seng couldn't move anymore, so he sat down on the grass beside the road and shouted: "Bajie, rest and go on your way!"

Hearing this, Bajie immediately dropped the burden, found a water bag from the luggage, and handed it to Tang Seng.

Tang Seng took the water bag, took two sips, and handed the water bag back to Bajie, who drank a lot in one go.

"Bajie, I'm hungry as a teacher!" Tang Seng said.

"Let me see if there is still some dry food." After Bajie said, he went to rummage through the luggage, and after a while he said: "Master, the dry food is gone!"

"Bajie, in that luggage is a purple gold bowl given by the king of Tang Dynasty, you take it, and bring me some vegetarian food on the way when it's due!" Tang Seng said.

Zhu Bajie was also a little greedy, and after saying yes, he dug out the purple gold bowl from his luggage and walked towards the west road with it.

Xiniu Hezhou is the most desolate, a city is a country, and most of them are no-man's land. Bajie walked more than 20 miles of mountain roads, and he didn't even see a ghost, let alone a village.As soon as Zhu Bajie's laziness broke out, he still remembered that when he was turning his fast, he saw a yellow grass field by the side of the road, he fell into it, and never crawled back, and soon he heard the sound of snoring.

Bajie slept very well this time, and it lasted an hour, but Tang Seng, who was waiting for the pig to return, was anxious and starved to death.

"Hey, Bajie thought he met a benevolent master. He prepared a fast meal and offered it. He only cared about eating to his heart's content, and he didn't care about me, a starving master. Come on, come on, come on, I'll meet him on the road ahead!" After Tang Seng sighed, he tied his luggage on the horse's back and led the horse westward.

Now, besides the pony led by Tang Seng, there are three people who learn scriptures. Tang Seng walks, Bajie sleeps, and there is a wild monkey. What is he doing?It turns out that after Sun Wukong escaped from Tang Seng and Bajie, he went to a deep mountain and old forest on the West Road to pick wild fruits. At this time, he was eating and drinking indulgently, waiting for Tang Seng!
"At the speed of the old monk, if you want to go out of the pagoda, if you don't talk about it, it will be tomorrow morning, and you will have enough food and drink at noon tomorrow. It's better to have a good sleep first." Monkey King yawned and put his body Shrunk to an inch long, lay down on a tree, tore off a leaf, covered the body, and fell asleep with eyes closed.

Let's go on to talk about Tang Seng, but Xiao Tang led the horse and went down Futu Mountain tremblingly. He was also hungry, thirsty and tired, sitting on the side of the road and sighing, feeling extremely miserable.

Seeing that the sun was setting and Bajie hadn't returned yet, Tang Seng had no choice but to gather some dry firewood. After a lot of effort, he started the fire, took out the leather blanket, and shivered by the fire.

"Ha..." Sleeping all afternoon, Zhu Bajie's laziness subsided a bit, and when he woke up from a sweet dream, he cut the corner of his mouth and looked around in a daze.

"Oh, I came here for alms, why did I sleep here? Forget it, there are no homes for hundreds of miles on this Xitian Road. I just said that I walked for hundreds of miles and didn't see half of them. I was worried about the safety of the master. , I just came back. Well, let’s just say that, I think Master is fat and fat, and he won’t die from starvation. When I think of my old pig as a demon, sometimes no passer-by will come to me for ten days and midnight, and Master will say Fat meat, it should be able to last for four or five days!" Zhu Bajie held his chin and thought for a while, then found the purple gold bowl from the grass, and hurried back.

"Master, I'm back!" Bajie came to the foot of Futu Mountain, saw Tang Seng sitting by the fire, and immediately stepped forward and said.

"Is it ready for the vegetarian meal?" Tang Seng asked.

"On this west road, there is no one's house for hundreds of miles. The apprentice almost walked away without seeing anyone. Seeing that it was getting late, I was afraid that the master would have an accident in this barren mountain, and he hurried back eagerly. I was exhausted. I'm going to sleep now!" Bajie finished speaking, put the bowl in the luggage, lay down beside the fire, closed his eyes, and began to cry, and fell asleep as he said.

Seeing that Bajie was so "tired", Tang Seng opened his mouth and said nothing. He tightened his belt and wrapped himself in a leather blanket. He felt drowsy, but he couldn't fall asleep no matter what.

"People are strangers in a foreign land, and they miss their relatives every festive season!" On a difficult day, Tang Seng rang his hometown, recalling the sweetness and thinking about the bitterness, and the bitterness became more bitter.

This night, Tang Seng didn't know how he got through it. He even yearned for the taste of monkey and wild fruit in the middle of the night. Although he ate it, it was laxi, but at least it contained sugar and could fill people up.

The sun had risen so high that Tang Seng woke up drowsily. He called Zhu Bajie who was soundly asleep, threw the burden to him, got on his horse, lay down on the horse's back, and let the white dragon horse hunch him westward.

The white dragon horse followed Tang Seng, knowing that he had been hungry for a day, and when he was on the road, he scrambled and galloped for three hundred miles in half an hour, and came to a village with Tang Seng on his back.

At this time, people were preparing meals, and Tang Seng, who smelled the aroma of the rice, finally regained his spirits, got off his horse, and went to a nearby family for alms regardless of Bajie, who had disappeared.

Fortunately, the host was kind and gave Tang Seng a bowl of white rice to eat. After Tang Seng finished eating, he waited for Bajie in the village. However, Bajie, who had no supervisor, chased the white dragon horse for a hundred miles, and then plunged into it again. After entering the grass canopy, I was still soundly asleep at this time!

When it was getting dark, Zhu Bajie came staggeringly carrying a load. Tang Seng asked him why he arrived so late, and he panted and said that the white dragon horse was too fast. He could not catch up with the load and left. Three hundred miles away, my whole body hurts.

Anyway, Tang Seng of Huoling likes Mumu Bajie, while Jingong Monkey, Huo conquers Jin, Tang Seng always dislikes him, Jin conquers wood, Bajie has always been unhappy with him, so the peaceful Shuiling Xiaobailong and Tuxing Sha Monk , to be able to stay with the irritable Jin Gong, the monkey.So Bajie was not reprimanded by Tang Seng, and both found a family to stay and had a meal.

After eating and drinking enough, and resting for the night, Tang Seng was shaking and coughing, so he woke up Ba Jie early, buckled the saddle and ready the horse, ate breakfast, bid farewell to the master, and rode the horse forward again.

"The old monk's feet are really stuck to his feet when he walks!" After waiting for two days, the monkey who still did not see Tang Seng was annoyed. After cursing, he jumped into the air and looked around. After a while, he fell down angrily, and went to the mountain forest to pick some wild fruits to enjoy.

"Old monk, at your speed, by the time you get to Dexitian, your son's son's son will all have beards!" After meeting Tang Seng, Monkey King complained.

The monkey was just complaining, he didn't want to hurt the old monk, he thought that Tang Monk became a monk just after his first full moon, he kept the precepts, he had never touched a woman's hand, but he had his own son, and it was a man who was pregnant.A word from the monkey immediately annoyed Tang Seng. He blushed and scolded: "Splash the monkey!"

"Old monk, why do you scold my old grandson?" Sun Wukong asked with burning eyes.

Tang Seng faltered and hesitated, but he couldn't answer. Could it be that he was going to make himself ugly, and he talked loudly, but he didn't say a word.

"Yo Yo Yo, could it be that the old grandson hit it off, you old monk, the sixth sense is not clean, and you left out an illegitimate child?" The monkey is so smart, and he guessed the matter very closely as soon as he rolled his eyes.

"Pohou, how can you misinterpret the Buddhist scriptures, and turn..." The old monk devoted himself to the Buddha, and his "six roots" were mixed with his reproductive organs, so he immediately became angry, and after speaking in anger, he passed out .

"Brother Monkey, you are going too far!" Zhu Bajie couldn't see it anymore, and said with a dark face.

"Why, do you want to fight?" Sun Houzi took out the golden cudgel from his ear and waved it in his hand.

"Hmph, I'm afraid you won't make it!" Zhu Bajie said forcefully, but then he said: "But Master, the old man was fainted by your anger, wait for me to wake him up, and then argue with you."

Bajie's medical skills were still excellent, and the old monk was just too angry and agitated, and he just pinched the person a few times before he regained consciousness.

"Bajie, let's go!" After Tang Seng woke up, without looking at the monkey, he said to Bajie, got on his horse, and rode west.

"Heng, I'll argue with you later!" Bajie snorted, picked up the burden, and followed Tang Seng away.

"Hmph!" the monkey snorted coldly, holding the iron rod horizontally, and followed in a leisurely manner.

A group of four people hurried on their way in this weird atmosphere, eating and sleeping all the way, taking the moon and the stars, and several months passed, because there were two ugly apprentices who were so ugly that ghosts would be scared to protect them, but no little monsters came Harassing Tang Seng is also considered stable.

From spring to summer, the scorching heat, it is the time when the hot summer is just about to sleep, Zhu Bajie takes advantage of the unpreparedness of the two, sneaks into the shade of a tree, and sleeps him beautifully, making the monkey and Tang Seng wait, which greatly delays marching speed.

The monkey was too lazy to take care of it, but Tang Seng believed the idiot's rhetoric, and he really thought that he was taking the burden of walking and suffering, so he didn't blame him.

Walking again and again, this day until late at night, there happened to be a cottage beside the mountain road. Tang Seng said: Bajie, look at the "mirror of fire hidden in the west mountain at sunset, and ice wheel at the moonrise in the East China Sea" (it's getting late).Fortunately, there is a family beside the road. Let's stay overnight and leave tomorrow. "

Bajie said happily: "That's right. My old pig is also a little hungry, and I will go to someone's house to make some fast food. I have strength and can easily carry luggage."

The monkey scolded, "You home-lover! You're going to complain after you've been away from home for a few days!"

Bajie said: "Brother, I don't think you are a person who drinks wind and smoke. I have been with Master for the past few days, and I have been half hungry, do you know that?"

Tang Seng heard it and said: "Wu Neng, if you are serious about staying at home, you are no longer a monk, you should go back."

Bajie knew that learning from the scriptures would bring merit, so how could he really go back, unless he couldn't get it, he immediately knelt down in a panic and said, "Master, don't listen to what your brother said. He wronged people. I never complained, so he just Said that I complained. I am a straightforward and honest person. I said that I was hungry and I wanted to find someone to feed him. He called me a house-lovers. Master, I have accepted the precepts of a Bodhisattva, and I am merciful to my master. Serving Master to go to the west, vowing never to regret. This is called "cultivation of hatred and suffering". How can you say that you are not a monk!"

Tang Seng said: "Since that's the case, get up."

Seeing that Tang Seng had been coaxed, Bajie immediately jumped up, and began to pick up the burden in his mouth. If the monkey was proficient in pig's lip language, he would definitely beat him up, because what he said was: Damn Bi Mawen, sooner or later I want to teach you a lesson!
Soon they arrived at the door of the house on the side of the road, Monk Tang got off his horse, Ba Jie rested his luggage, and the monkey leaned on an iron rod, standing under the shade of the greenery.After Bajie took over the reins from Tang Seng, Tang Seng leaned on a nine-ringed tin staff and pressed rattan to weave a cloak. As soon as he walked to the door, he saw an old man leaning on a bamboo bed, chanting Buddha in his mouth. .

Seeing the old man chanting Buddha, Tang Seng was overjoyed, and said that he had met a good man, and he had dinner tonight!Tang Seng didn't make too much noise, but called out slowly: "Benefactor, I've asked for an interrogation."

Hearing the voice, the old man raised his head to see Tang Seng, jumped up, hurriedly gathered up his clothes, and went out to salute, "Elder, I'm sorry. Where did you come from? Why did you come to my humble family?"

The Tang monk said: "The poor monk is a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. He went to Leiyin Temple to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures under the imperial decree. It was late in the evening when the treasure was born, and he wanted to go to Tan Mansion to ask for a loan for one night. It is convenient and convenient."

The old man waved his hands and shook his head, "I can't go there. It's hard to get scriptures in the west. If you want to learn scriptures, go to the east."

Tang Seng was silent, and pondered in his heart: "The Bodhisattva pointed to the west, why do you always say that you go east? There must be scriptures in the east..."

Tang Seng thought about it and didn't answer for a long time.

The monkey was very upset when he saw that Tang Seng was cowardly, and couldn't help it, stepped forward and shouted: "Then old man, you are so old, you don't know anything. I am a monk who came to stay overnight, so I just said this to me." .Could it be that your house is very narrow and there is no place to sleep? We will sit under the tree for a night without disturbing you."

The old man grabbed Sanzang and said, "Master, you don't speak a word. That disciple of yours, with such a crooked face, chin and cheeks, thunderous mouth, and red eyes, a consumptive demon, how could he charge back at an old man like me!"

The monkey smiled and said: "You old man, you don't even look at me! Those who are more handsome, like this old monk, are called fancy but not attractive. I think my old grandson, although small, is quite strong, wrapped in a ball of leather. .”

The old man said: "You must have some means."

The monkey said: "If you don't dare to boast, you will see it."

The old man asked, "Where do you live? Why did you cut your hair and become a monk?"

The monkey said: "Old grandson Guandong Shengsheng Shenzhou Haidong Aolai..."

The monkey boasted a bit, but the old man said it was head-butting, introduced Bajie and said that one was uglier than the other, a lot of gossip, and then arranged board and lodging, and finally said that this is Huangfengling, there is a strong yellow wind on the mountain great sage.

Well, it turned out that the manor was set up by the gods who protect the Dharma to inform Tang Seng and his party, arrange food and lodging and prepare eye drops for the monkeys to treat their eyes.That's right, there is no one's family in these hundreds of miles, and there are no foreign women. Could it be that close relatives cannot reproduce together?
Tang Seng is afraid of the old man's fantastic blowing of the yellow wind monster, while Bajie is vigilant, but the monkey doesn't care and speaks nonsense, so Bajie is fine, but the monkey will suffer a lot!
