[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

Speaking of which, the old white turtle of the Heishui River is also pitiful. He was originally an old monster of the Heishui River, he monopolized one part of the waters, and lived a leisurely life. Unexpectedly, a powerful inspiration king with a background suddenly came and killed him. He, the original boss of Heishuihe, could only shrink back aggrievedly. Now that the great inspiration king was finally accepted by Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice, the old Baiyuan was so happy that he wanted to laugh up to the sky. , but also related to his opportunity to become an adult, this old demon almost couldn't wait to come over.

He is not the king of inspiration whose eyes are higher than the top. Old Baiyuan is used to hard life, and he cherishes any opportunity to cultivate a human body very much.

Besides, even that fierce inspirational king is cold, how dare he take Joe in front of Tang Seng and his disciples?

"Mr. Baiyuan, the poor monk owes you a chance." Tang Xuanzang threw such a sentence at the old Baiyuan as soon as they met.

The old white turtle was stunned.

"The old man and the holy monk have never met each other. I don't know when..." Although he knew how difficult it would be for Tang Xuanzang to owe him a chance, but the chance was too great. Got it wrong?He has no chance of returning it.

Tang Xuanzang smiled and didn't answer his question. However, if he didn't say anything, the old Baiyuan felt at ease. He also heard that Tang Xuanzang was the reincarnation of the golden cicada, a good man of the tenth life. Thinking of this, the old Baiyuan felt in his heart There was even a hint of pride: to be able to make Jin Chanzi owe him a chance, how much virtue he must have accumulated in his previous life!

Fortunately, when the king of inspiration occupied the Tongtian River and forced the nearby people to sacrifice boys and girls, he did not join forces with that monster. Otherwise, the opportunity would have been lost, and the cage would have been ready.

Tang Xuanzang explained this opportunity to Lao Baiyuan in detail.

It turns out that the [-]-mile Tongtian River stretches as far as the eye can see. People on both sides suffer from the lack of bridges, and there are many water monsters in the water. Although chickens and dogs hear each other, they never communicate with each other. The economy has not been developed effectively, so that although the water and soil on both sides of the strait are fertile, the common people are poor.

The opportunity Tang Xuanzang wanted to give to Lao Baiyuan was to build a ferry for the people on both sides of the strait. In ancient times when transportation was extremely inconvenient, building bridges and roads was a great merit. What's more, with Sha Wujing around, with this It is very convenient for Lao Baiyuan to get a quota for cultivating human form due to the merits.

After all, if this old white turtle was cultivated into a human form with the help of Dongtu Daomen, then he owed the Daomen a huge favor. The Jade Emperor should be very happy to dig the corner of the Western Buddhist gate, right?

The old white turtle is a born monster. He didn't have any beliefs at first. After a lot of troubles from the king of inspiration, he didn't like Guanyin and the Western Buddhism behind her. Besides, Tang Xuanzang didn't let him do anything embarrassing. , It is just to open a ferry on both sides of the Tongtian River to ferry the people on both sides of the river back and forth.

"Stay here and guard the ferry, and when I come back from the scriptures, I will naturally report to the heaven for you and ask you to cultivate a human body." This promise Tang Xuanzang can give himself, he has already thought about it, if the Jade Emperor dares to take Joe, he will Take this old white man to the Western Buddhism.

"It's great to be Party A..." Wu Hong sighed enviously.

Old Baiyuan was stunned.

Tang Xuanzang couldn't help a burst of black lines.

What Wu Hao said is actually correct. In his previous life, he was born in the Eastern Taoist sect, but in order to promote Buddhism, he traveled to the west to learn scriptures and destroyed the incense of the Eastern Earth Taoist sect. It is no wonder that he will not be reincarnated in hell after death. In the middle, some things were not what he wanted to do, but the situation forced him to do them.

However, after being reborn, everything has changed.

He no longer bears the burden of reincarnating Jin Chanzi and promoting Buddhism, nor does he act as a double agent for the so-called prosperous Tang Dynasty. He is just himself and lives only for himself.

As the so-called barefoot is not afraid of wearing shoes, when Tang Xuanzang had nothing to ask for both Buddhism and Taoism, everything was reversed. The former Party B became Party A, and Tang Sanzang, who was sandwiched between the two ends, changed suddenly and became The Avenger who came back with a lot of anger...

Wu Hao was really looking forward to it, looking forward to the day when Elder Tang arrived in the Western Paradise.

I hope Elder Tang can restrain his rage of revenge a little bit, at the very least, let Guanyin Bodhisattva remove the curse on his head first...

"Okay, let's rest here in Chenjiazhuang for a few days, and when the old white turtle has erected the ferry, we will cross the river."

Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice helped Chen Jiazhuang save the scourge of eating children like the King of Inspiration, and now he can be regarded as the great benefactor of the entire Chen Jiazhuang. It is by a big river, but there is not a single fish scale on the dining table, only a bowl of chicken and a plate of roasted mutton. The mutton smells very strong, even Tang Xuanzang, who has gradually become accustomed to eating meat. I can't take it anymore.

"Owner, I see that there are many ditches and rivers near your village, why don't you catch some fish and shrimp to eat?" As an alien who is used to eating synthetic food, Wu Kong really can't see the people here spoiling natural ingredients like this You know, the number of times he has eaten real fish and shrimp since he was a child can be counted with a single slap!

"Ah!" The old villa owner looked at Wu Kong with helplessness, "Our eight hundred li Tongtian River is bottomless, and there are many monsters eating people in the water. Who dares to go down the river to catch fish!"

Wu Hao's eyes lit up: There is a huge gap in this market!

Moreover, he really wanted to get some fish and shrimp to taste. He lived in the wind and camped along the way, and he didn't have the conditions to cook any delicate dishes. It happened that Elder Tang said that he would rest here for two days, so he could definitely get some fish and shrimp. , After processing, put it in the warehouse, so that if you want to eat it next time on the road, you can take it out and cook it directly.

After dinner, Wu Kong went to the Tongtian River and called the old Bai Yuan out.

Without the king of inspiration, the [-]-mile Tongtian River has returned to the hands of Old Baiyuan. The little monsters in the river listened to him and were working tirelessly to move the stones in the water to the dock. The fish and shrimp were gone, and the old white turtle was obviously relieved, and immediately got people ready to go.

"Great Sage, let's go back and rest first, and I will order the younger ones to send the fish and shrimp to the village." Old Bai Yuan looked at Wu Kong flatteringly.This master who can overthrow the Queen Mother's peach feast can be said to be the glory of their monster clan.

"It's okay, I came here to tell you, in fact, if you Shui people really want to cultivate human form as soon as possible, in addition to doing good deeds and accumulating virtue, you should also make friends with mortals when you have nothing to do on weekdays. Seeing that we are here, we happen to be in touch with you and the owner of the Chenjiazhuang, and in the future you can take the fish and shrimp you catch to the villagers in exchange for food or clothing."

"Then... there are not many villagers here, and they can't eat so many fish and shrimp."

"You don't need to worry about this. Send whatever you catch to the old owner. I will teach them how to marinate fish and shrimp and dry fish and shrimp. These are of my own use. Don't worry, just follow the instructions. If any monster with no eyes dares to come to Tongtianhe to make troubles, you just hold my hair and call my name loudly, and I will see who dares to bully me without eyes."

As long as he is not confronted with the two major forces of Buddhism and Taoism, he is not afraid of other demons and ghosts.Besides, as long as it wasn't Tang Monk's meat, he believed that no monster would take it easy and face the Monkey King who almost overturned the heaven for some worthless fish and shrimp.

Old Baiyuan didn't expect that it was just some fish and shrimp, and he could get the life-saving hairs of Monkey King, and immediately stuffed the three pale golden hairs carefully into his bosom, as if he planned to keep them for his life. Here comes the heirloom.

With the Monkey King as his backer, the cautious old white turtle couldn't help but feel flustered. On the same day, he ordered his subordinates to send over several hundred catties of fish and shrimp, all wrapped in water plants, and when the water plants were opened, the fish and shrimp inside Still alive and kicking.

The old owner of Chenjiazhuang heard from Wu Hao that there would be fish and shrimp brought by the water demon every day, and he thought he would bring a dozen fish at most. He didn't even plan to ask the villagers to help, thinking that his wife would be able to handle it. After all, Wu Hao promised him that he would pay him a processing fee of 2 to 10 copper plates per catty according to the quality of the dried fish. If calculated in this way, if he can process dozens of catties of fish and shrimp every day, it only takes one day of hard work. Wouldn't their family be able to make a lot of money this year?

The old owner sat at home confidently and waited for the fish and shrimp to come to his door. He had no doubt that Wu Hong would lie to him. After all, these eminent monks from the Tang Dynasty were not even their opponents. , not to mention those water monsters in the Tongtian River?

However, what the old owner of the villa never expected was that Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong had given old Baiyuan so much benefits that this old guy tried his best to curry favor with their masters and apprentices in order to cultivate human form as soon as possible, and gave away several hundred yuan at a time. Jin fish and shrimp come here.

Now, without Wu Kong asking, the old owner hurried to the village to find someone to help. He heard that a pound of dried fish and shrimp can be exchanged for 2 to 10 copper coins. Brought them over to help, Wu Cong took the opportunity to brainwash them, saying that the old white turtles in Tongtian River were kind-hearted by nature, and that the King of Inspiration was responsible for eating children. After that, the old white turtle took charge of it, and told the villagers that the old white turtle planned to build a ferry on both sides of the river. From now on, the people on both sides of the river only need to spend a few copper coins to walk back and forth in the river.

As soon as this remark came out, Chenjiazhuang suddenly became lively as if it was Chinese New Year. The older generation was fine, but the young people dreamed of seeing what the world was like on the other side of the river. Plus, they could earn money every day by handling fish and shrimp for Wu Kong. When Qian arrived, many young people in the village made an appointment to go to the other side of the river together when the ferry was built.

"I used to think that doing good and accumulating virtue is to educate demons and make them be good, but I don't know that demon nature is hard to get rid of. Some demons are used to cannibalism, and they refuse to put down the butcher's knife no matter what. Your method is good. At the very least, that old white turtle has the heart to accumulate merits, and soon he will cultivate the human form, and he will restrain the water monsters in the water, and from then on, the people on the two shores will live in peace." Watching the villagers happily talking about the old white turtle, there is no feeling at all. Feeling that there was something terrible about this monster, Tang Xuanzang couldn't help sighing.

"There is a saying among our businessmen that it is not profitable to start early. In fact, being a man and being a demon are the same. We are always more willing to do things that are good for ourselves. On the contrary, we blindly ask him to give selflessly, saying To put it more vulgarly, people also have to support their families. If a person doesn’t even care about his parents and children, and his family members are starving to death, he still has to save food to help others. Such a person is just like a murderer. What's the difference? Could it be that the food in his family is only his own? Sacrificing relatives in order to fulfill oneself, if this is what Buddhism calls compassion, then I'd better be a selfish layman."

Thinking of Tang Xuanzang trying to persuade the monster to put down the butcher knife in the original book every time, but being caught and almost eaten countless times, Wu Hao felt that the elder Tang in front of him was more down-to-earth.
