Westward Journey into Dragon

Chapter 628 Dinghai Silver Needle Specially Treats Bajie’s Recalcitrance
As mentioned last time, Tang Seng, Hou Zi, and Ba Jie cleared the Huangfengling pass and started on the road again. They came to the bank of the Liusha River. Because of the conflict between the roasted sweet potatoes and the sand monk, the sand monk was startled away.

The monkey and Bajie went back to Tang Seng talking and laughing. Tang Seng asked if he had caught the monster, and the monkey answered no. die.

For things like fighting monsters, Bajie hides whenever he can, and immediately said: "Brother, don't hesitate, you go and get him, and the old pig will guard the master."

The monkey smiled and said, "My dear brother, my grandson is very unfamiliar with kung fu in water. If you walk empty-handed, you have to recite formulas and recite the 'Water Avoidance Mantra' before you can enter the water. Otherwise, you will become a fish, shrimp, crab and turtle." If it’s a fight, I can take you in the mountains and in the air; but in the water, some people can’t do it.”

"It turns out that the monkey is also afraid. The old pig used to be the governor of Tianhe, and he was in charge of [-] sailors. The water quality is good, but the water is very muddy, and there will be fierce things. If there are any monsters in the water, there are family members, old and young. Seven litters and eight generations come, so I can't beat him. And in winter, the water is cold, no matter how thick the old pigskin is, I'm afraid of cold water, I still don't want to stand out." Ba Jie is simple (few tendons) but smart With a heartbeat, he said: "Pigs can't swim, well, old pigs can climb trees!"

The monkey scolded: "Idiot, you used to be the Marshal of the Canopy, in charge of the [-] Tianhe Navy, how dare you say you can't swim, and ask for a beating, right? And you dare to talk about climbing trees in front of grandpa grandpa. You met your ancestors!" It's like juggling a saw in front of Lu Ban!"

"I'm afraid that the monster has a helper in the water. If 180 of them come up together, I won't be able to get out if I don't get stuck in it? Do you know how to get water? If no one comes to save you, what if he treats me like a pig and kills me?" Bajie said.

The monkey said: "If you go to fight with him in his water, don't be in love with it. You can lose but not win. Lead him out and wait for the old grandson to help you. If you are really caught, I will go to the South China Sea to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva to rescue you." you!"

Bajie said: "Okay then, I'll fight him right now, maybe I can even snatch sweet potatoes!"

"Just remember your two broken sweet potatoes, and remember to lead him ashore." The monkey scolded with a smile.

"Understood!" Bajie said, and peeled off the green brocade straight skirt, took off his shoes, danced with both hands, split the waterway with a rake, and performed a water escape technique. under the water.

After wandering around the bottom of the water for a while, he caught a loach and performed the method of searching for souls. He knew where Drifting Monk lived, and immediately pushed the water away.

It is said that Monk Drifting was defeated, he was panting, and he just picked up a sweet potato and gnawed it, when he heard the sound of someone pushing water, got up to watch, it turned out that Ba Jie came over with a rake on his shoulders.

Bajie saw Drifting eating his sweet potato, immediately got annoyed, and cursed: "That ugly monster, how dare you take the food from your grandpa pig's mouth (pig's mouth snatches food), don't run away, eat your grandpa pig !"

Sand Monk held up his stick to defend, and shouted: "That black pig, don't run away, watch and fight!"

Bajie made Palladium stand up and said: "What kind of fairy are you, dare to snatch old pig's sweet potatoes?"

Drifting says he is not a goblin, and even boasts about it, which annoys Ba Jie, causing the two to fight from the bottom of the water to the surface.

Bajie secretly hated that his pig food was taken away by the Drifting Monk, but he forgot the strategy of defeating but not winning and keeping alive. He danced like an old cat clawing his claws, fast and anxious, never leaving Drifting's face , is to beat to death.

The monkey waited eagerly on the shore, but Bajie was not there to lead Drifting ashore. Impatient, he lifted the golden cudgel, jumped in the air, swooped down like a goshawk pounced on a rabbit, and the golden cudgel hit Drifting's body directly. head.

Monk Drifting was tired of dealing with Bajie's attack, but Monk Sand plunged headlong into the water while the monkey was still in the air.

Because Ba Jie held a grudge against the sweet potatoes, he fought to the death without retreating, but the monkey did not wait for Drifting to go ashore as soon as the wisher came ashore, scaring him into the river again.

Bajie would beat him up, and he was at fault, but he still shouted: "You Bi Mawen, you are such an impatient monkey! Take it easy, and when I coax him to the shore, you block his way back and let him If you can’t return to the water, don’t you just catch him? Now that he’s gone in, I’m afraid he won’t come out again!”

The monkey smiled and said, "Idiot, if you hadn't been fighting with him, and the fight became more and more fierce, I would not be able to bear it? Stop shouting, let's go back to see the old monk."

Sanzang saw Bajie fighting Sand Monk. He bowed to Bajie and said, "Apprentice, you have worked hard (Tang Seng has never done this to monkeys. It should be fortunate that he has never seen monkeys fighting monsters like this)."

Bajie understands the way of being a human being, and he is not as perverse as a monkey. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "Not to mention hard work, it is only a surefire way to subdue the goblin and send you across the river."

Tang Seng asked: "What was the result of your battle with the goblin just now?"

Bajie shook, shook off the river water from his body hair, put on his clothes and shoes, sat down by the fire, and said: "The strength of that monster is about the same as that of an old pig. Just about to lure him to the shore, the senior brother is eager for quick success. When he was still on the surface of the river, he raised his stick to beat him, scaring the monster into the river again."

Tang Seng didn't dare to blame the monkey, so he just cried, "What can I do?"

The monkey comforted impatiently: "Old monk, don't worry, don't be anxious. It's getting late now, let's sit under this cliff to shelter from the wind, and wait for the old grandson to pick some fruits. You eat and go to sleep, and we can talk about it tomorrow. "

Bajie said: "That's right, you go and come quickly."

Bajie is a good pig who can eat whatever he likes, and is not picky about his food. Tang Seng is incomparable. Hearing that the monkey was going to pick the fruit, his expression immediately changed. This wild fruit is easy to become thinner after eating, and it has been frozen by frost and snow, and it is cold again. It's hard, and it definitely hurts my stomach after eating it, so I hurriedly said: "That's too much trouble, didn't Bajie just find sweet potatoes, go dig some more, and I'll have a good meal, and I don't need to go all the way to find wild fruits Already!"

"Bajie, go dig some sweet potatoes!" Tang Seng said to Bajie without waiting for the monkey to speak.

"This old monk, he doesn't eat the ready-made fruit, so he insists on digging some sweet potatoes!" Ba Jie cursed in his heart, but he smiled and took his orders.

Ba Jie came back soon, and the master and apprentice sat around the fire, and after eating the roasted sweet potatoes, they went to bed.In the early morning of the next day, Tang Seng got up, remembering the matter of crossing the river, and asked the monkey, "Wukong, what are your plans for today?"

The monkey said: "There is no arrangement, Bajie needs to go into the water to attract monsters."

In the midst of winter, Bajie just wants to hibernate, "Ah!" Bajie sneezed hard, his nose dripping, and he said weakly: "Brother, the water is cold and dirty. I went into the water yesterday, and I might have caught a cold." Damp disease, but can't get water."

Tang Seng said: "It's fatal to be blocked by the flood, but now you are sick, Bajie, what should you do!"

The monkey is very smart, knowing that with the cultivation base of the eight precepts, it has long since survived the cold and heat, and it will not suffer from minor illnesses such as colds and colds, so it immediately said to Tang Monk: "Old monk, you don't have to worry, I am proficient in medicine, old grandson. He also has the title of Miracle Doctor, who specializes in treating all kinds of difficult and miscellaneous diseases, even laziness, Bajie is just a small problem, and I can cure him in minutes."

"Then you should hurry up and treat him! Bajie looks like this, I feel uncomfortable!" Tang Seng said.

"It's easy to say! It's just that my healing method is unique. Although the recovery speed is fast, the patient will feel pain, but good medicine is good for the disease. Only in this way can Bajie recover quickly!" the monkey laughed.

"Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain! Wukong, you can let go of it!" Tang Seng said.

"Okay, Bajie, come here, brother monkey will treat your illness!" Monkey said to Bajie.

"I'm weak all over, and it's hard to get up. How can I get over it, or Brother Monkey come here!" Pretending to be sick requires dedication, but Ba Jie perfectly shows the state that a patient should have!

"Okay, I'll go!" the monkey said in a vicious voice, and walked towards Bajie, and at the same time took out the Dinghaishen needle from his ear.

Seeing the monkey take out the Dinghaishen needle, Bajie was terrified, got up, jumped to the distance, and shouted: "Bi Mawen, what do you want?"

"Heal you! My old grandson is acupuncture and moxibustion. This Dinghaishen needle is the guy I eat. I don't leave my body in the morning and evening. It specializes in treating all kinds of dissatisfaction... The strange diseases that other doctors treat. Idiot, I see that you just acted like this." Feng, full of qi, is not a patient at all, but I want this Dinghaishen needle to treat you!" The monkey is most jealous of others calling him Bi Mawen, and after angrily shouting, he waved the Dinghaishen needle in his hand against the wind, and the magic needle immediately turned into a An iron rod as thick as an arm, the monkey raised both hands and hit Bajie.

"Master, help!" Bajie asked Tang Seng for help while dodging.

There are so many monks in Chinese history, but there are not many famous eminent monks. It is impossible for a stupid person to become an eminent monk. Tang Seng naturally knew that Bajie was pretending to be sick, and his face turned black with anger, but he loved Bajie and said: "Wukong, let him go this time, let him take the crime and make meritorious service. If he can't make meritorious service, he will be punished for both crimes. If you beat him to death, I won't say a word."

"For the sake of the old monk, I will spare you this time. If next time, I will break your legs and sprinkle salt to make ham!" The monkey snorted coldly and put away the golden cudgel.

"Don't dare, don't dare!" Bajie waved his hands again and again.

"You are currently wearing a sinful body. If you can't do meritorious service, I will break your pupils!" The monkey shouted.

"Yes, yes, yes!" Bajie nodded and bowed again and again, but he was cursing in his heart: Bi Mawen, don't do me wrong, or you will tear off your monkey head and kick it as a ball!
"Do you know what to do?" asked the monkey.

"I know! I know! Go down to the river to lure monsters!" Bajie quickly replied.

The monkey smiled and said: "My dear brother, I am not impatient this time. I just want you to lead him up. I will stop the riverside and not let him go back. I must capture him alive and ask him how to cross the river!"

Bajie had no choice but to wipe his face with snow water, force himself up, picked up the nails and palladium with both hands, walked to the river, parted the waterway, and still went down to the place where the sand monk lived.

Sand Monk just woke up at this time, suddenly heard the sound of pushing the water, and quickly got up to watch, saw Bajie swimming with the palladium, got up quickly, blocked the demon-subduing stick, and shouted at the same time: "Come on, come on, watch the stick! "

Bajie held up his palladium and said: "You are a 'weeping stick', that's why you asked your ancestors to watch the stick!"

The treasure stick was seen clearly by Bajie, and Drifting was very upset. He wrote a poem boasting: "The treasure stick has a great reputation, and it was originally from the Thoreau School in Yueli. Wu Gang cut down a branch, and Lu Ban made it with Kungfu... The name is Baozhang Shan Subduing the demon... The Jade Emperor gave me to carry it with me... I can make it as long or as short as I like, and I want it to be thin or thick according to my attitude..."

Regarding his own laurel, forged by Lu Ban, and bestowed by the Jade Emperor, Drifting groaned at himself, laughed at Bajie and said: "Look at your rusty nails and palladium, I can only hoe the fields and build vegetables!"

Bajie's rake also has its origins. He laughed secretly at the Drifting ignorance, and dared to compare the weapons made by Lu Ban with the magical weapons forged by Laojun. Splash! What kind of vegetable, if I shake you for a while, I will teach you that there is no place to put plasters, and all nine eyes will bleed! Even if you don't die, you will still have a tetanus, let you know the consequences of stealing your grandpa pig's sweet potatoes! "

Being ridiculed by Bajie, Sand Monk was very annoyed, he threw away his arms and started fighting with Bajie in the muddy river.

"You deserve to be killed for stealing sweet potatoes!" Ba Jie couldn't forget the sweet potatoes, and beat and cursed.

"Being entangled with a few sweet potatoes, the chicken intestines and liver will rot sooner or later!" Drifting cursed back.

Bajie is a sweet potato, and the more he fought, the more courageous he became. Drifting became angry, and his combat power soared. He fought again inextricably, from the bottom of the river to the surface of the river.

This time, Bajie remembered the monkey's order, and led Drifting to go ashore.Although Drifting is often tortured by a hundred swords piercing the heart, his head is not very bright, but he is not stupid. He was almost shot by a monkey twice, and after chasing him to the river, he stopped.

Seeing that Drifting didn't go ashore, Bajie stomped his feet and cursed: "I'll beat you to stealing sweet potatoes! If you have the guts, you come up! This high place is easy to fight with your feet on the ground!"

Drifting scolded: "You guys don't try to coax me up, if I go up, you will teach that helper to come up again. If you come down, you are still fighting in the water."

No matter how much Bajie yells and curses, Drifting refuses to go ashore, but just stands in the river and scolds Bajie.Seeing that the Drifting Monk refused to go ashore, the monkey was so anxious that he was so anxious that he wished to catch the Drifting Monk ashore and hit the ground with a stick.

Bajie and Sand Monk faced each other for a quarter of an hour. The monkey's patience was exhausted, and he said to Tang Monk: "Old monk, sit down yourself, and wait for me to have a 'hungry eagle carving meal' with him."

After the monkey finished speaking, it made somersaults, jumped in mid-air, and fell down with a brush, with its hands grabbing Drifting Monk's shoulders like eagle claws.

Although Sand Monk scolded Bajie, he was the general of the curtain rolling, he saw all directions with his eyes, listened to all directions, heard the sound of the wind, raised his head sharply, saw a monkey swooping down from the clouds, put away his treasure staff, and returned He plunged headlong into the water, his body was hidden in the muddy waves of the sand river, and he could not see it.

The monkey lost track of Drifting Monk, circled around, landed on the shore, and said to Bajie: "Brother, this monster has also become treacherous. Even if you scold him like a river, he won't go ashore again. What can I do? "

Bajie shook his head again and again and said: "Difficult, difficult, difficult! With my strength, I'm only on par with him, and I can't beat him! ——I exhausted all my breastfeeding strength, and I only stretched my hands to the level. It is impossible to capture him." Impossible, let's think of another way to cross the river (I won't go into the water to attract monsters anymore)."
