Journey to the West begins with a full-level Tang monk

Chapter 200

Tang Seng knows the true face of the old turtle very well, because he has read the original work.

So when the old tortoise opened his mouth, Tang Seng already knew what fart he was about to fart.

But Tang Seng still had to rely on the old turtle at this time, so Tang Seng still looked kindly like a holy monk, nodded and said with a smile.

"The poor monk and others came from the Tang Dynasty in the east. They wanted to go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. They passed the Tongtian River. Fortunately, there was an old turtle. Thank you for helping us cross the river."

Hearing Tang Seng's thanks, the old tortoise burst into a smile, and the whole tortoise trembled twice.

Then the old turtle said, "Holy monk, holy monk, since you thank me so much, I have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Tang Seng naturally understood what he was going to say, smiled and said: "Old tortoise, you have helped me so much, you can naturally ask for anything, and the poor monk will definitely do his best."

The old tortoise was even happier when he heard Tang Seng's promise. After thinking for a while, he said, "Holy monk, to be honest, my old tortoise has lived in the Tongtian River for tens of thousands of years, but monsters like us turtles want to It is too difficult to transform into a human, basically there is only one turtle in a million that can transform into a human."

"At this time, my lifespan is running out. But I haven't seen the hope of being able to transform into a human being and rank in the immortal class. I don't know if I can transform into a human being, rank in the first class, and have This chance of immortality."

"Since the holy monk wants to go to the Western Paradise to pay respects to the Buddha, someone with great supernatural powers like the Tathagata Buddha must know the end of the old tortoise. Therefore, the old tortoise wants to ask the holy monk to be able to meet the Buddha on the day of his arrival in the Western Paradise. I asked a few questions before, to see if my old tortoise has the fairy fate to be able to transform into a human being, and to be in the fairy class, I want to live forever."

"Or, how many years can I live? The old turtle hopes that the holy monk can help the old turtle find out. I don't know what the holy monk thinks?"

When Tang Seng heard the old turtle's words, he sneered in his heart and said to himself, it really is so.

But Tang Seng's skill in nourishing Qi is very strong at this time, so although he was disdainful in his heart, he still showed a kind face on his face and said: "There is nothing wrong with trivial matters, don't worry, old turtle, when the poor monk arrives in the west and sees the Buddha, I will definitely ask for you, and I will tell you how it is when I come back."

Hearing Tang Seng's promise, the old tortoise was very happy, and even led him to swim a little faster, he said gratefully: "Then I would like to thank the holy monk for his generosity, the old tortoise is here waiting for the good news from the holy monk. "

Tang Seng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter."

The old tortoise was even happier when he heard it, and swam to the shore with a sullen head.

After a while, the old tortoise carried Tang Seng and others to the other side of the Tongtian River.

"The holy monk has arrived!" The old turtle stuck his head out and leaned his body on the shore and said.

Tang Seng nodded and said: "Then I will trouble you!" After speaking, Tang Seng went straight down the old turtle's back.

Zhu Bajie, who was behind him, led the white dragon horse, and walked down with a look of surprise and uncertainty.

According to Zhu Bajie's conjecture, the old tortoise should have thrown them into the middle of the river, but this is obviously different from the script.

The old turtle actually carried them safely to the other side of the river, which was beyond Zhu Bajie's expectation.

After getting off the turtle's back, Drifting walked over and patted Zhu Bajie on the shoulder and said, "Second senior brother, don't be suspicious, just follow the master from now on, the master is always right."

Tang Seng nodded in satisfaction when he heard the words, glared at Zhu Bajie and said, "Look how sensible Sha Wujing is, it doesn't look like you know how to find trouble for your teacher every day."

Zhu Bajie touched his nose in a somewhat disheartened manner.

Before, he always wanted to flatter Tang Seng, but he always hit the horse's leg.

Unexpectedly, this seemingly dull Drifting Monk could win Tang Monk's favor as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Zhu Bajie feel a sense of crisis.

After all, his forte such as flattery has shown some signs of failure in front of Sha Wujing, so what else can he rely on to gain a foothold in the Westward Journey team?Is it just because he leads the horse?

Zhu Bajie's mind turned secretly, and he wanted to play his role again, regain his strength, make a comeback, and flatter Tang Seng well.

"The holy monk wishes you a smooth journey here, and come back soon after obtaining the Western Classic."

Tang Seng nodded and said, "Thank you, old turtle, you can go back first."

"Okay, holy monk, then I will go back first."

The old turtle said, turned his head and sank into the water.

At this time, Zhu Bajie leaned over to Tang Seng and said, "Master, I really wronged him just now. This old turtle is actually a good person, and Master is thoughtful!"

Zhu Bajie felt that Tang Seng had a very happy conversation with the old tortoise just now, and thought that the old tortoise won Tang Seng's favor, so he wanted to praise the old tortoise in front of Tang Seng to win Tang Seng's favor.

But what Zhu Bajie didn't expect was that after hearing this sentence, Tang Seng slapped him on the head again and said: "What kind of a good person is a good person? Are your eyes blind? You really deserve to have a pig's brain. Even a good person You can’t tell the difference from the bad guys.”

Zhu Bajie was stunned by the beating, and stood there with a messy expression on his face.

He really couldn't figure out what was going on. On the other side of the bank, he said that the old tortoise was not a good person, but he was beaten by the Tang monk. After crossing the river, he changed his words and said that the old tortoise was a good person, but was beaten by the Tang monk again After a meal.

Is this still reasonable?Why is he beaten when he speaks.

He felt that Tang Seng was targeting him, but he could only dare to be angry and dare not speak out.

What Zhu Bajie didn't know was that Tang Seng just pretended to be a snake with the old tortoise, and wanted to cross the Tongtian River with the strength of the old tortoise.

Of course, Tang Seng is not the kind of person who is extremely ruthless, he is not purely using the old turtle.

It is clearly recorded in the original book that this old turtle is not a good person.

It seems that he used his kindness to carry Tang Seng and them across the river to hope that Tang Seng would help him inquire about this matter. As a result, Tang Seng didn't ask, so he threw Tang Seng into the river. This seems to make sense.

But in fact, it is very clear in the original book that after the inspiration king of Tongtianhe came to Tongtianhe, he immediately occupied the old turtle's cave and built the residence of the inspiration king in his cave.

But he could only be immersed in the majesty of the king of inspiration all day long, trembling, afraid to speak out, suffering from being bullied beyond words.

After Tang Seng and others arrived at Tongtian River, they directly eliminated King Inspiration, restored Tongtian River to its original appearance, and allowed the old turtle to find its original lair.

From this aspect, Tang Seng had great kindness to the old turtle.

But the old tortoise not only did not remember this kindness, but because Tang Seng forgot to ask for him, he threw Tang Seng into the water in a rage.

This is completely a typical example of repaying kindness with hatred.

So this old tortoise is not a good person from beginning to end.

Tang Seng just pretended to agree to him and used his strength to cross the river, which is not considered too much use of him.

For a person like the old turtle who only remembers his kindness to others and never remembers the kindness of others to him, he should be given a severe lesson. Tang Seng's lying to him just now was nothing more than a small punishment and a big warning.

And the most important thing is that this old tortoise's cultivation base is very low, otherwise he wouldn't be able to defeat even a king of inspiration.

His cultivation was so low that Tang Seng couldn't even arouse his interest in beating him, and even if he did, he wouldn't get much merit.

Seeing the stunned Zhu Bajie, Tang Seng raised his foot and kicked his ass, cursing: "What are you doing here? Hurry up and get on the road."
