Sign in to Zhutian from Journey to the West

Chapter 233 Overnight in Chenjiazhuang

After accepting the task.

Seeing that Tang Seng, Monkey King, and Drifting were still discussing how to cross the river, Huang Yang couldn't help but said: "Monkey, little monk, it's getting late now, instead of discussing the matter of crossing the river dryly here, why don't I wait to find someone else?" How about a flat place to shelter from the rain, after a night's rest, we can discuss it after dawn?"

It's good if Huang Yang didn't mention it, but Tang Seng felt sore and weak when he mentioned it.

Feel carefully, but hungry.

Quickly responding to Huang Yang's words: "It's extremely, it's extremely, it's so dark, you can't see it, let's take a good look at this Tongtian River tomorrow, and look along the bank to see if there is that fisherman..."

As he said that, Tang Seng looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, go and see if there is a house nearby, or a flat place to shelter from the rain."

Hearing Tang Seng's words, Monkey King nodded and flew up.

"Little monk, there seems to be that family in front of you."

Sun Wukong shouted in the air.

Tang Seng was overjoyed when he heard this.Call Drifting Monk, Huang Yang, and go to the direction pointed by Monkey King.

After walking for a while, Sand Monk's ears moved, and he asked with some doubts: "Master, senior brother, did you hear anything?"

"It seems to be the sound of drums and cymbals. I think it is someone who is doing vegetarian food. Let's go catch some vegetarian food and ask the ferry to find a boat. Let's go there tomorrow." Sun Wukong said

Tang Seng listened carefully and nodded, "It doesn't sound like a Taoist musical instrument, but it sounds like something happened to my monk's family. I'll go and have a look."

The four masters and apprentices followed the direction of the sound along the bank of the Tongtian River.

Over the beach, the road is up and down, there is no right way.

After passing through a willow forest, I saw a cluster of houses.

There are about hundreds of houses, the lights are flickering, and they are scattered among the mountains.

A crooked path is surrounded by mountains and rivers, leading to various households, but it is also a good place to live.

When he came to the entrance of the village, Tang Seng got off his horse, but saw a white banner tree in front of someone's house at the end of the road, with bright lights and candles inside, and fragrant cigarettes.

Seeing this, the monk Tang said, "Wukong, it's different here than the mountain valley and riverside. Under the eaves of the world, you can hide the cold dew and sleep at ease. When you are a teacher, go to the head of the Zhaigong gate to ask for help." , if you are willing to keep me as a teacher and apprentice, I will invite you to come over; if you don't stay, the master must have some red and white matters, so don't bother us here, it will only be annoying..."

"Master, let's go. I, Bajie and Wujing are waiting for Master here." Sun Wukong said.

Tang Seng leaned on a tin stick and came to the door of that family. Seeing that the door was half-covered, he did not dare to enter rashly.Instead, he knocked on the door and waited for the host to come out.

I saw an old man walking out of the house.

Tang Seng quickly made a Buddhist salute and said, "The poor monk has seen the old benefactor."

But the old man said: "You monk, you are late."

Hearing the old man's words, Tang Seng couldn't help being taken aback, what kind of opening is this?

"How to say?"

The old man said: "If you come early, I will give up the vegetarian monk. Even if you are full, I will give you three liters of cooked rice, a piece of white cloth, and ten copper coins. But at this time, all the guests have left, and the cooked rice and white cloth have been distributed. You Why are you here now?"

Tang Seng heard this, and quickly said: "Old benefactor, the poor monk is not here for fasting."

The old man looked Tang Seng up and down, and asked, "I'm not here to catch up with the fast, but what are you here for?"

The Tang monk chanted the Buddha's name and said: "The poor monk is the monk who was sent by the imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the East to go to Daleiyin Temple in the West to obtain the scriptures. , I hope I can spend one night in your mansion, and I will go on the road tomorrow morning."

Hearing this, the old man was full of doubts and said: "Little monk, you don't look like a bad person because of your delicate features, but don't lie to me, an old man. I have heard of this Eastern Land Tang, and it is five or sixty thousand miles away from here. , With your small body, how did you get here? I'm afraid you were eaten by those wolves, tigers, leopards, ghosts and ghosts on the way."

Hearing this, Tang Seng nodded and said: "What the old benefactor said is that the poor monk did encounter many monsters, monsters, wolves, tigers and leopards along the way, and escaped from danger many times. Thanks to my three disciples who opened the way on the mountain. , Build a bridge when encountering water, and protect the poor monk, and you can get this."

Hearing that Tang Seng said that there were three more apprentices, the old man hurriedly said: "Why don't the three apprentices come here? There is a place to rest in the small house, the elder will quickly call your apprentice."

After hearing this, Tang Seng thanked him a lot, then turned around and shouted loudly: "Wukong, Bajie, Wujing, come here."

Hearing Tang Seng's shout, the three of them trotted over, one carrying a load, one leading a horse, and the other carrying a nine-toothed rake.

Seeing Huang Yang, the old man's eyes lit up, he looked up and down and said: "This is a handsome brother."

When I saw Monkey King and Drifting Monk, I was frightened all of a sudden.

"Monster, the monster is coming."

Sun Wukong is not like Huang Yang, who likes to walk in the appearance of a human race, but walks in the real body of the ape, which looks like a monster that has become a spirit.

And Drifting, dressed in azure blue, looks like a Smurf, and with a fierce look on his face, it makes people feel scared from the bottom of their hearts.

Tang Seng couldn't help but glared at Sun Wukong and Drifting Monk, and quickly helped the old man up and said, "Don't be afraid, old benefactor, although these three apprentices of the poor monk are not good-looking, they have the ability to subdue dragons and subdue tigers."

The old man trembled and said: "Elder, you are so handsome, why did you find these two apprentices who look fierce, really..."

"Amitabha, old benefactor, this is fate."

Sun Wukong tied up his horse, Drifting put away his load, and the three of them went to the hall.

Several monks in the hall were chanting scriptures and doing things there. Seeing them, Monkey King couldn't help shouting: "Then monk, what scriptures are you chanting?"

When the monks heard this, they looked up and saw Monkey King with a sharp mouth and cheeks. They were so frightened that they stumbled and scrambled, unable to look at the chimes and bells in their hands.

"The monster, the monster is here!"

"Monster, the monster is coming..."

Yelling, yelling, yelling, the scene was a mess.

Tang Seng helped the old man into the house, looked at Sun Wukong and the Drifting Monk, and cursed: "If you don't learn the Eight Precepts and become human, you will know that you will scare people with your real appearance, frighten the old benefactor, and disturb the monks who recite scriptures. Guilt, sin..."

At this time, I saw an old man walking out of the house with a cane. He stomped the cane on the ground and said, "What kind of evil spirit came to my good family's house in the dark?"

The old man supported by Tang Seng just now hastily shouted: "Brother, don't be surprised. The elders are not demons, but Arhats who went to the West to learn scriptures from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Although the disciples are fierce, they have the ability to subdue demons and eliminate demons." ..."

"A monk from the Tang Dynasty?"

"Yes, old brother." The old man replied.

"Ask the boy servants to serve the elders..." I saw those boy servants hiding behind the curtain, trembling.
