[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

When it came to the will of the Jade Emperor, Sha Wujing's simple and honest face showed a hint of shame.

It's really not his fault!No matter how good the master and elder brother treat him, he is also a member of the heavenly court and can only obey the Jade Emperor alone. Then when he reports his work, the old sage Taishang Laojun happens to be there, so it is not too much to listen in, right?The Jade Emperor asked Lao Jun to do the calculations on his behalf, is that normal?

This calculation, can be regarded as a big event!

Nima Tiandao's warning to the Taoist sect disappeared inexplicably!

At this time, Tang Xuanzang and his disciples were still on their way to the west to learn the Buddhist scriptures. Therefore, the reason for this phenomenon must not have been brought by the Buddhist scriptures, and the real scriptures have not yet been obtained.

So where is the problem?

The Taishang Laojun pinched it out, and now, even the old sage couldn't help scolding his mother: Who the hell changed their scripture learners?

Also replaced by aliens from a world that seemed more powerful than them!

Aliens have invaded, and their own people still play a ball of wool?Waiting to knit?Don't hurry up to hug a group to keep warm, bah!Hold a group and unanimously external?

"So, His Majesty the Jade Emperor issued a decree, ordering me to return to Chang'an?"

At this moment, Elder Tang had a sentence in his heart that MMP didn't know whether to say it or not.

"Yeah, it's not that I'm going to return to Chang'an right away. Your Majesty just said that I'm going to learn the scriptures and let it go. As for whether to continue traveling in the Western Regions or go back to Chang'an, it's up to you, Master." Sha Wujing scratched a little embarrassedly. Scratch your hair.

Anyway, the meaning of the Jade Emperor is very obvious. Now there is no need to play the trick of learning scriptures in front of heaven. The mission of Tang Xuanzang and his disciples is tantamount to canceling halfway. Now they are free and continue to travel around the Western Regions. Traveling (self-driving tour), returning to Chang'an, or even returning to Huaguo Mountain, it's up to them.

However, Tang Xuanzang and his disciples cannot let their hard work be in vain. The Jade Emperor has always been considerate in winning people's hearts. He ordered Sha Wujing to reward the master and his disciples with some treasures. Elder Tang is a supreme old man The longevity pill from the alchemy furnace can prolong life by 600 years by taking one pill.What was given to Zhu Bajie was a decree of pardon. From now on, Zhu Bajie will be able to return to his post and go back to be his canopy marshal. Xiao Bailong has also been released after serving his sentence, and he can continue to return to the East China Sea to be his Dragon King Third Prince .

As for Sha Wujing?No matter what Tang Xuanzang's decision is, he will return to the Heavenly Court to return to his life.

"What about me?" Wu Kong expressed strong protest on behalf of the original Monkey King!On the way to learn the scriptures, it is obvious that this person has made the most contribution, so why is everyone either prolonging his life or getting promoted, and Monkey King has nothing?

"You still have the nerve to ask for a reward?" Sha Wujing looked at Wu Kong in disbelief, as if he never expected to see such a thick-skinned person in his lifetime, "If you hadn't accidentally hit and broken the shackles of heaven, Just because you broke the plan arranged by His Majesty, hmph..."

Boss Wu laughed uncomfortably, and complained in a low voice with some grievances: "You think I want to come here? Monkey King is so poor that he doesn't even have a house in Chang'an. Elder Tang still has several houses..."

I'm jealous of my real name, that's about as luxurious as the first living area (capital) of the Star Alliance!

Tang Xuanzang: "..."

Sha Wujing: "..."

After a long silence, Tang Xuanzang said helplessly, "Since both Wu Jing and Wu Neng are going back to Heaven, and the third prince is going back to the East China Sea, then only Wu Kong and I are left now, Wu Kong, What are your plans?"

If the opponent was the real Monkey King, he would definitely take people back to Chang'an without saying a word. He even thought about how to deal with King Tang.

However, Boss Wu is not Wukong after all.

"Then what else is there to say? Of course, go back to Chang'an immediately!" Boss Wu's heart was full of excitement. It was a famous metropolis on the ancient earth in history. Even a scumbag like him had heard countless legends about Chang'an City. .

What "a whole month in Chang'an, the sound of thousands of households pounding clothes", what "the spring breeze is proud of the horseshoe disease, and you can see all the flowers in Chang'an in a day", what "Chang'an looks back at the piles of embroidery, and the top of the mountain opens for the first time"... That is definitely the history of China. The era of high light.

Seeing Boss Wu's bright eyes, Tang Xuanzang felt that there was no need to continue asking.

Xingba, now he is just a weak chicken, he was backed by Guanyin Bodhisattva before, now, Guanyin didn't ask him to return the brocade cassock and nine-ringed tin staff, it's considered the last bit of respect for him, what more bike do you need?Cough~ At this time, it is really kind of Wu Hao to be willing to accompany him back to Chang'an.

but--

"It's not in a hurry to go back to Chang'an." Tang Xuanzang waved to Wu Kong. The master and apprentice sat together, looking at Sha Wujing in silence. You no longer have to monitor your itinerary and plans, do you?

Sha Wujing touched his nose and took the initiative to make room for the master and apprentice.

"Elder Tang, you are in the Western Regions, and you still have unfulfilled wishes?" Wu Cong asked cautiously. Seeing Elder Tang's serious face, could it be that there is someone who is still worried about the next journey of learning the scriptures?

"Cough~ That's not true, it's just that when I return to Chang'an this time, if I want to live a more comfortable life in the future, I have to take care of it... Chang'an nobles love the treasures and toys from the Western Regions, so we have to go back. Why not?" Speaking of these, Tang Xuanzang has lived for thousands of years, and he is still a little uncomfortable, he is not such a philistine, and now the situation is just compelling.

In his previous life, he suffered from "uncommon things". Since the return of the Western Regions to the Tang Dynasty, he should have been highly regarded by the king of the Tang Dynasty. What Tang didn't have was enough to bring back. All kinds of treasures brought back from the Western Regions were directly stored in the temple, and the precious books he obtained were not allowed to touch anyone else.

His original intention at the time was really just that he was afraid that those classics would be damaged or lost by borrowing and borrowing. The treasures were hidden in temples, and he also wanted more people in the Tang Dynasty to be able to admire the elegance of the Western Regions.

But he never thought that what he did not only offended all the dignitaries in Chang'an invisibly, but also severely disgraced King Tang. King Tang was always proud of the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty, but he did such Showing the treasures of the Western Regions to the people of the Tang Dynasty is tantamount to giving the face-conscious King Tang two slaps in the face——

Do you think our Tang Dynasty is a country on the eastern soil?That's because you have never been abroad, and you don't know that the countries in the Western Regions are richer than you...

Whenever he thinks about this point, Tang Xuanzang feels that the king of Tang did not punish him for the death penalty, so he really deserves to be a wise king of a generation.

In this life, he would not dare to make such a low-level mistake again.

In fact, he also had the strength to go back to Chang'an to manage things up and down.On the way back from learning the scriptures, I don’t know how many countries in the Western Regions wanted to show their favor to the King of Tang through him. He accepted the letter of credentials and promised to convey it on his behalf, but declined the treasures presented to him by the countries of the Western Regions. At that time, he was still complacent. It's because of my own high morals.

The results of it?

Back in the Tang Dynasty, the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty, who believed that he did not receive benefits from others when he passed through the countries of the Western Regions?Putting on a look of being relaxed, I don't know how much gold, silver and jewels I have swallowed behind my back.He knew that the officials of Tang Dynasty must have been talking behind their backs like this, but at that time, when he finally figured it out, he had been dead for a long time.

In this life, he decided to change his way of life, the first thing that needs to be changed is the correct posture of receiving gifts!

"You're right to think so!" After hearing these words, Boss Wu patted Elder Tang on the shoulder, and persuaded him earnestly, "Haven't you seen that even Bodhisattvas often say 'this treasure is destined for me'? Let's talk , if the countries in the Western Regions want to be protected by the Tang Dynasty, instead of looking for ways to be deceived by others, it is better for you to come forward, they pay money, you contribute, and you can still form diplomatic relations between the two countries, isn't it the best of three worlds?"

"As for the expensive gifts you received, you keep some of them for your daily life, and don't you still have to distribute the rest to the courtiers? This is also making way for them in advance, isn't it? Now, a kind-hearted person like you There are really too few middlemen! You don’t know, the ones I dealt with before can only be counted as one thank-you gift to them. Get some ink out of it. Believe me, holy monk, you will definitely become the most popular eminent monk in the entire Tang Dynasty!" Boss Wu took the opportunity to beat him up.

"However, when I return to the Tang Dynasty, I will return to lay life, and I will no longer be a holy monk admired by everyone." Tang Xuanzang sighed, but there was no trace of sadness in his tone, as if he was a little impatient?

"If you think so...wait! Holy monk, am I right? You want to become a vulgar person? What about translating Buddhist scriptures?" Wu Kong looked at him in disbelief.Could it be that people who have died once can completely overthrow even their beliefs?

"Naturally, we must also find eminent monks who are willing to return to the Great Tang with us and translate Buddhist scriptures." Elder Tang smiled slightly.The best way to get your boss to let you change jobs is to let him know that someone is more suitable for this position than you, and it is cheaper.

He was already shouldering the heavy responsibility of traveling westward to "learn scriptures". When he returned to Chang'an this time, regardless of whether the scriptures he retrieved were genuine or not, his value would naturally be different from the past. Let's put it this way, given his current status in Buddhism In terms of status and influence, if the King of Tang doesn't make him a national teacher, the Buddhists in Chang'an will probably murmur: Could it be that His Majesty is discriminating against our Buddhist sect?

However, the national teacher is not so easy to seal, you have to reward the national teacher's office, right?Need some servants to serve you?Do you have to pay monthly salary?The reward at the end of the year can't be low. If Tang Xuanzang can't think about it and wants to scold him, even if Tang Wang pretends to be "humbly accepting advice", wouldn't he be aggrieved?

In contrast, the monks he recruited to help translate Buddhist scriptures were said to be eminent monks from the Western Regions, but in fact they were not well-known among the people of the Tang Dynasty. Give them some rewards during the New Year and holidays, so that they can work obediently. If Tang Xuanzang was the king of Tang, he would rather have such subordinates. After all, translating Buddhist scriptures is nothing more than a major issue related to the people's livelihood.

In this way, King Tang's face was preserved, and at the least cost, he drew a successful conclusion to the study of Buddhist scriptures in the West.And the most critical information is still in his hands. No one will know the real purpose of Tang Xuanzang to learn scriptures from the West, and he doesn't have to be trapped in temples and ancient Buddhas like in his previous life for the rest of his life.

He Tang Xuanzang wants to truly live for himself!

And before that, he had to save enough money to go back and give gifts, otherwise, no one would help him play drums in the emperor's ear, what if the king of Tang would not allow him to return to vulgarity?

"It's okay, in case we don't have enough money to give you a gift, I still have some good things here." Hearing Tang Xuanzang's worries, Wu Hao readily expressed that he could help. Strange and weird new products, as well as some handicrafts made of special materials, clothes, shoes and socks, etc., can all be taken out as gifts for them "treasures obtained in the Western Regions".

"Keep those for now. I know the things in your hands are unprecedented in this world. When the day comes when you have nowhere to go, take them out to save your life. The things I need to go back to Chang'an are the things I will use on this journey. After thinking about it carefully, if it is done, those things are enough for us to go back to Chang'an, and we can buy a few Zhuangzi for the rest. Whatever you want to plant in the future, just buy some people and ask them to plant it."

After thinking for a while, Elder Tang warned worriedly: "There are a lot of people who have attained the Tao in Chang'an. I bought Zhuangzi for you. You can just buy mortals to plant them. Don't be greedy for petty gains and catch those monsters to do it for you. If you are a white worker, if you are caught by those Taoist priests, you may cause trouble."

"How can I be greedy for petty gains? They are all voluntary!" Boss Wu called Qu, "Besides, instead of letting them commit crimes and kill people outside, it is better to detain them for labor reform. Maybe they can do more good deeds and have more money." It helps in training."

Tang Xuanzang was speechless, so he could only secretly light a row of wax for the monsters near Chang'an.

He has tried his best to dissuade this boss. If this Boss Wu is really reluctant to spend money to buy people, and insists on going to the mountains to "convert" some ghosts and ghosts to "reform through labor" and "become a demon again", then...then he should spend money to dredge them first. Let's talk about Jing Zhaoyin, lest this one be reported by Taoist priests for raising monsters (illegal employment).

well!At first glance, the life after returning to vulgarity does not seem to be so smooth.Elder Tang gave Boss Wu a sad look.

He thought that Boss Wu was much more mature and stable than Wukong, but now it seems that he is not a fuel-efficient lamp!

Zhu Bajie never thought that he just went out for a trip, and when he came back, everyone would divide their luggage and go back to their respective homes.

The long-standing dream suddenly came true, and Zhu Bajie felt a little lost for a while: By the way, shouldn't the sentence of dividing the luggage and breaking up the team be his regular line?

"Really break up?" Holding the sleeping bag Wu Kong gave him, Zhu Bajie looked foolishly at Sha Wujing unpacking there. All their things were in Junior Brother Sha's burden. Separate them and pack them separately. Since you don’t plan to go any further, it doesn’t make much difference if you divide them early or late.

Moreover, while the Jade Emperor has not forgotten the merits he has made this time, it is the most suitable time for Sha Wujing to go back now. This is also his tacit understanding with Tang Xuanzang: Tang Xuanzang let him go as soon as possible, and he also Received the favor of Tang Xuanzang.

As a secret worker who obeys orders, Sha Wujing will not betray his master for Tang Xuanzang, but, within the principles, it is still possible to help him with small favors.

Seeing that everyone was not opposed to splitting up the luggage, Zhu Bajie panicked: "We haven't gone to the west to obtain the scriptures, so we just broke up and went back, then I am..." Can't be the Marshal of the Canopy?

"Don't worry, the Jade Emperor has a decree to pardon your crimes. You can return to the heaven with me this time." Sha Wujing glanced at Zhu Bajie helplessly, "Don't look at those fairies who seem to be gentle and kind. You don’t even know that you’ve been sold, so when you go back this time, listen to my advice, don’t get drunk and molest Xian’e, and beg Yue Lao to arrange a good wife for you, wouldn’t it be better than outsiders?”

Zhu Bajie's two big drooping ears, after hearing Sha Wujing say that he can return to the heaven to be his canopy marshal, suddenly became energetic. As for molesting Xian'e mentioned later?That was the time when he was young and frivolous. Now that he had Cuilan, he asked Yuelao to lead him a red thread when he returned. When the two of them got married, he took Cuilan and his father-in-law to the heavenly court to enjoy eternal life. Fu, isn't it beautiful?

Zhu Bajie thought so, and said so. After all, among the masters and apprentices present (including Bai Longma), he was the only one who had a wife. Oh, Xiao Bailong did have a fiancée before, but with wild men (Nine-Headed Insect) ran away, according to Zhu Bajie's temperament, how could he not show off this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity?

When Tang Xuanzang heard the word "Gao Cuilan", Tang Xuanzang couldn't help but thump in his heart, it's too bad!Bajie, I'm afraid he doesn't know that his wife has become a ghost at this moment... He originally wanted to go back this time, and when he passed by Gao Laozhuang, he would stop by to save Gao Cuilan. She has always lived a life of love and beauty, but unfortunately met Zhu Bajie, an idiot, who misused her infatuation and brought her misfortune!

Seeing Zhu Bajie showing off his virtuous and beautiful daughter-in-law with a sullen expression, and thinking about the happy life with Cuilan in the heaven in the future, Tang Xuanzang felt very uncomfortable.

In his previous life, he strictly abided by the rules and regulations, and when he saw Zhu Bajie occupying a commoner girl, he only wanted to subdue this evildoer and return the girl's free body.

It's just that he misjudged the evil of people's hearts.

If Zhu Bajie just left suddenly by himself, perhaps, because of the power of this monster, the villagers dare not do anything to the "female family" he left in the village.However, the mistake was that he and Wukong took down the monster Zhu Bajie with almost an overwhelming advantage. Those villagers only thought that the monster had been subdued by the holy monk and would never come back. Press it, forgive him if he can't make any waves, so what is there to be afraid of?

Gao Cuilan was occupied by the monster, she had already lost her virginity, and the villagers were intimidated and frightened by the monster.After Tang Xuanzang took Zhu Bajie away from Gao Lao Zhuang, the villagers looked at Gao Cuilan as if she was a demon concubine next to a Wudao Hunjun, and they wanted to get rid of her quickly.Although the high official had some fame, he couldn't keep his daughter in front of this powerful "public opinion". He could only watch helplessly as his beloved daughter was tied up on the altar by the crazy villagers and burned to death.

Later, the villagers were afraid that Gao Cuilan's soul would come back to seek revenge on them, so they sealed Gao Cuilan's ashes in an altar, locked them with chains, and dropped huge stones to suppress them at the bottom of the river.Gao Yuanwai lost his beloved daughter, that’s not counting. Since then, no one is willing to grow the fields of Gao Yuanwai’s family, and the grain they produce can’t be sold. There are rumors outside that their family is infected with evil spirits. Sooner or later, the family will be extinct. In this way, who would dare to make friends with the Gao family?

It was less than a year since Zhu Bajie left Gao Laozhuang, and the Gao family had fallen into disrepair. Gao Yuanwai and his wife were bullied locally, so they had to sell their family property at a low price. .

As for Gao Laozhuang, not long after Gao Yuanwai and his wife left, the village began to be haunted. At first, it was just that the sheep raised by the villagers disappeared by the river for no reason. Later, the woman who went to wash clothes by the river also began to disappear. , none of the villagers dared to go to the river to wash. Even so, gradually, the villagers discovered that as long as there is water, once they approach, there will always be people who disappear inexplicably.

However, how can people live without boiling water?

No one dared to say the name hidden in their hearts, but everyone knew that "she" must have come back for revenge!

The villagers frantically wanted to find a powerful monk who could slay demons and eliminate demons, but everyone was shocked to find that outside the village, with the altar as the boundary, the whole village was surrounded by a thin layer of mist. As long as a person walks into the fog, he can never get out again.

The villagers retreated back to the village in despair, watching helplessly as the mist became thicker and gradually filled the entire village. I don't know where the people she caught are hiding, and the villagers live in great panic and despair day after day... Until many years later, Tang Xuanzang passed by after passing away and saw Gao Cuilan again in the form of a ghost At that time, Gao Cuilan could no longer recognize him, and the villagers in Gaojiazhuang had already turned into living dead.

Only then did he realize how outrageously wrong what he did back then!

But at that time, Zhu Bajie, who accompanied him to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, had already been sealed off by the envoy of the altar, and had already cut off all emotions and six desires, so that he never realized that Gao Cuilan, whom he had a short-term relationship with husband and wife in the mortal world, had already died tragically because of him.

"Master, wait for me to return to Heaven with Junior Brother Sha first. You and senior brother should walk more slowly on the road. Let's go back to Gaolaozhuang to pick up my wife." Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes and decided to pull Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King back together. Gao Laozhuang.

I think that when I was captured by Monkey King, I was ashamed and humiliated in front of my daughter-in-law. This time I will return home in good clothes, so that my daughter-in-law and father-in-law know that he is still a man of face and status now. Well, this is not a wronged daughter-in-law, right?

"Okay." Tang Xuanzang slowly raised his head and glanced at him, "I will visit the rulers of the Western Regions along the way with your elder brother, so it doesn't matter if you walk slowly."

"Hehe~ Master still loves me, old pig." Zhu Bajie scratched his head, and said a little shyly that he had to go back to take a rest in the residence he used to have in the Heavenly Court before he could go down to the lower realm to pick up his wife and enjoy the blessings in heaven.

Sha Wujing and Wu Kong looked at each other, feeling a little heavy in their hearts.

Tang Xuanzang's expression was obviously wrong, Zhu Bajie's daughter-in-law, I'm afraid something went wrong.

However, since Tang Xuanzang didn't tell the reason, it's not easy for them to expose it face to face, especially Sha Wujing, he is the Jade Emperor's man after all, so it's normal for Tang Xuanzang to keep some things from him.

In contrast, Wu Hao has no such taboo. Moreover, when he reads the original Journey to the West from the perspective of an outsider in later generations, he always feels that Tang Xuanzang's master and apprentice simply and rudely brought Zhu Bajie, who had married Gao Cuilan, to him. Going, it seems that something is not good.The main reason is that the Star Alliance protects the freedom of marriage by legislation, not to mention between men and women, it is men and women, women, and even the marriage of ancient earth blood and aliens. As long as it is not illegal, it is protected by law, Gao Cuilan Wu Hao didn't dare to say whether he and Zhu Bajie were in true love, but they were all married, and you took their husband away, so at least you should appease the emotions of the family members, right?

Tang Xuanzang had no choice but to tell Wu Kong that Gao Cuilan's family might have been ruined and she had turned into a ghost.

Sometimes even Tang Xuanzang himself was very strange. In his previous life, he had always treated Wukong as a child who couldn’t grow up. He didn’t dare to discuss important matters with him, mainly because he was afraid that the monkey would be impulsive. , but also took the golden cudgel to beat him to death with a stick.

However, when facing Wu Kong, he was able to confide all the worries in his heart without any scruples, and even some of Wu Kong's ideas would inspire him a lot. The elder felt that life was much easier all of a sudden.If Wukong gave him the most feeling of "tired heart" in his previous life, then what Boss Wu gave him was "peace of mind".

He didn't dare to tell Zhu Bajie about Gao Cuilan's matter, and he was worried about letting Sha Wujing know about it, but he was able to sit down and discuss it with Wu Kong without any burden. From this point of view, Boss Wu's life is quite successful.

However, even Wu Hong didn't expect Gao Cuilan to die!

Thinking of Zhu Bajie's pig head happily preparing to go back to the Heavenly Court to repair the house, and to take Gao Cuilan to the Heavenly Court to enjoy the blessings, at this moment, Wu Hao felt really aggrieved and uncomfortable.

Even in the Star Alliance with a highly developed civilization, women are more difficult than men in some places.To use the simplest analogy, if a spaceship has an accident on an alien planet, and the passengers in the spaceship are exiled to an alien planet, if a man marries an indigenous woman there, at most people will laugh at him for his good fortune when he returns. Even alien women can get it.However, if it is a woman, it is best not to come back in this life, because once touched by an indigenous man, for those who have traditional concepts, such a woman, even the children born to them, have blood. It's dirty, and even being discriminated against for finding a job...

Although Wu Kong has no sisters, but as long as he thinks about it a little, he can guess what will happen to Gao Cuilan who lost her shelter after Tang Xuanzang and Monkey King take Zhu Bajie away in the original book...
