Sign in to Zhutian from Journey to the West

Chapter 240 The Old Turtle's Request

Guanyin Bodhisattva left with a few arhats and went to the Far West to investigate.

Tathagata sighed deeply and muttered to himself: "I hope it will be in time."

His eyes turned to Tang Seng and others who were still in Chenjiazhuang.

The corners of his mouth moved slightly, and in a moment he returned to the majestic image of the treasure.

……

It is said that after Guanyin Bodhisattva and Manjusri Bodhisattva left one after the other, Huang Yang quickly released his spiritual consciousness to find out where Sun Wukong was.

Before Sun Wukong wanted to fight with the Bodhisattva, he was restrained by the magic spell, and it was fine if he failed, and fell into the Tongtian River.

Although it is not possible to drown, it will take nearly half an hour for Monkey King to recover.

At any rate, it was for his own sake that he suffered this. You can't let Sun Wukong be like a seaweed, swaying with the waves.

After a while, Huang Yang found Monkey King.

The image of Monkey King at this time is simply miserable.

The golden cudgel didn't know where it was thrown when Sun Wukong was in pain, and he lay on the ground in a mess, twitching from time to time to show that he was not dead yet.

Seeing Monkey King like this, Huang Yang's eyes were cold, and he couldn't help saying: "Damn it."

He picked up Monkey King and flew towards Chenjiazhuang.

When Tang Seng and others saw Huang Yang coming back, they surrounded him one after another.

"Bajie, what's going on with Wukong? How come you were all fine when you went out, but when you came back, Wukong became like this?"

The place where Huang Yang, Sun Wukong and Avalokitesvara fought was a little far away from the shore, and with Tang Seng and others' mortal bodies, they couldn't see clearly at all.

It is also impossible for Huang Yang to tell the truth to Tang Seng.

Is it possible to say: I killed the monster, Guanyin Bodhisattva said that I would no longer discipline me, and wanted to take me in.

Or just open your mouth and reveal that the fish demon is raised by Guanyin?

No matter what, it is not a good ending for Huang Yang.

After pondering for a moment, Huang Yang said: "That monster is too powerful, and the monkey and I tried our best to kill him, and the monkey was seriously injured because of it..."

"What should I do?" Tang Seng couldn't help asking anxiously when he heard that I was hurt by my hard work.

"It doesn't matter, it only takes one day, and the monkey will be alive and kicking."

After hearing this, Tang Seng couldn't help but nodded and heaved a sigh of relief.

Chen Qing and Chen Cheng who were on the side quickly said: "Elders, the fast food is ready, please follow me to eat."

I didn't feel anything if I didn't remind him, but when I mentioned it, Huang Yang touched his stomach and felt a little hungry.

From the morning to now, the actual plan deceived the King of Inspiration to show up, until he killed the King of Inspiration, and then Avalokitesvara appeared later, and Manjusri preached the decree...

Although it didn't feel like much time, it was noon.

It made Huang Yang feel like where did all the time go.

After eating and resting for a while, Tang Seng couldn't sit still.

He called Huang Yang and asked in a low voice, "Bajie, while the weather is fine, why don't we wait for the master and apprentice to find a place to cross the river along the river bank. Sitting like this, I really feel flustered as a teacher."

"Master, didn't Brother Chen say that there would be no bridges or ferries within [-] meters of the Tongtian River?"

Drifting looked at Tang Seng with some puzzlement. The local people said that there was no bridge or boat, and it was useless to walk along the river bank.

Is it possible to turn out a boat or a bridge by walking around?

Obviously impossible.

After rejecting the persuasion of everyone in Chenjiazhuang, the four masters and apprentices went on the road again.

Sun Wukong hadn't woken up yet. Seeing this, Tang Seng didn't ride the horse, and directly put Sun Wukong on the horse's back. He was holding the scriptures in one hand and walking in front of him holding the rein in the other.

But he heard a cry coming from the Tongtian River.

"Elder, elder, wait, elder..."

Taking a closer look, it turned out to be an old turtle, the size of a room, with an unknown lifespan, screaming in the water.

Drifting thought that the monster eating boys and girls was coming again, so he couldn't help but put on a defensive posture.

"Where are you monster, why call me master and apprentice?"

Only Lao Yuan said: "So that the elders know that I am not a monster."

"Then what are you?" Tang Seng asked.

The old man paused for a moment, and slowly explained his background: "I am the last river god in the Tongtian River. Elder, you don't know that the first water turtle under the Tongtian River is my residence, which was handed down by my ancestors. When I came to my place, I overturned this ancestral home because I awakened my Taoist heart and practiced spiritual energy. However, more than ten years ago, a fish demon came from nowhere, bullied people with power, and fought with me. Many sons and daughters were injured by him, and even a lot of family members were taken away by him. I can't beat him, not only the cave was taken away by him, but also my water god position was restrained by him with the demon law. In desperation, I just If you can, you will take your children and family and leave to find another place to practice. Now that the elders have subdued this evil monster and returned the house to me, I have no repayment. May the elders cross the Tianhe River."

"Who knows if what you said is true or not?" Although Lao Yuan explained it in detail, Drifting still didn't believe it.

Just listen to Huang Yang said: "If you make an oath of heaven, I will believe what you say..."

After hearing this, the old man pointed his claws at the sky, and said, "If what I say is true, I will be covered in blood and turn my back on the way."

Suddenly, there was a thunder in the sky, as if responding to Lao Yuan's oath.

Drifting heard this, although his face was still vigilant, but he relaxed a lot in his heart.

Huang Yang jumped onto the old turtle's back.

The old turtle suddenly became very large, like a moving island.

Seeing Huang Yang, he called out to Tang Seng and the others: "Come up quickly, little monk. The white dragon horse carried Monkey King on its back. With a kick of four hooves, it jumped onto the turtle's back."

Instead, the villagers who were following Tang Seng and the others were frightened enough, thinking that the monsters were coming again.

After everyone got on Lao Yuan's back, Lao Yuan just slowly entered the water.

Tang Seng was a little scared, so he just grabbed the hands of Huang Yang and Drifting Monk, and saw the old turtle raised his head and said with spiritual thoughts: "Holy monk, don't be afraid, on my tortoise shell, there is a formation of gossip formed by heaven and earth. It is less than one-tenth of the power of the real Bagua array, but it can still protect the holy monk from falling into the water."

In less than a stick of incense, Lao Yuan sent Tang Monk and his apprentice to the other side.

After Tang Seng got ashore, he thanked the old turtle again and again.

"Amitabha, thank you, the old turtle, for sending me away. The poor monk can't thank you. I will thank you when I come back from the scriptures."

But I heard Lao Yuan say: "No need to thank the elders, I heard that the Tathagata Buddha in the scenic spot of Lingshan Mountain in the West Heaven has the ability to destroy the world and recreate all things, and can know the past and future of all sentient beings. For more than 300 years, although Huisheng has a light body, has trained to a size as desired, and can speak human languages, it is still difficult to get rid of the original shell. I hope the elders will ask the old man after seeing the Buddha to see when I can cultivate a human body. Take off the shell."

"According to the auspicious words of the benefactor, if you can meet the Buddha, the poor monk will ask you a question." Tang Seng heard that it was not an unreasonable request, but just a question, and he agreed without thinking.
