[Journey to the West] Wukong purchasing

Worried that he was not proficient in tracing people, Wu Kong was still watching at King Qin Guang's place to see which one King Qin Guang had chosen as the place where Gao Cuilan's sister was reincarnated.It has to be said that Qin Guangwang, this "good brother" is quite good. He chose Chang'an City, a rich and gentle town, as the place where Gao Cuilan was reincarnated. Boss Wu nodded with satisfaction.Although Elder Tang didn't say a word, he could feel that he felt guilty for Gao Cuilan's death. Now that Gao Cuilan's wronged soul has been redeemed, she can be reincarnated in the prosperous Chang'an City, born in a wealthy family No matter what the future holds for her and Zhu Bajie, at least this life should be much better than the last one.

Yan Luo of the Tenth Hall politely sent this evil spirit out.Turning his head, he discussed with King Qin Guang, and opened a private room for those dead ghosts in Gao Laozhuang in the [-]th floor of hell.

Anyway, let's talk about it after being locked up for a few hundred years. The Pohou was fooled and left, and the master didn't come. Would the wife of Marshal Canopy dare to burn it?These mortals probably don't know how to write the word "death", right?

When Wu Hong returned to Gaolaozhuang, it was almost dark. Elder Tang was growling with hunger, but he didn't eat anything. It wasn't that he didn't want to eat, but he didn't have to.

Gao Cuilan's grievances transformed Gao Cuilan's resentment into a radius of tens of miles. The crops could no longer grow, and several corpses were soaked in the river, and the fish and shrimps could not be touched.

It was also Tang Xuanzang’s carelessness. When Wu Kong left just now, he used to think that the luggage and dry food were at Sha Wujing’s place. After a while, his mouth was dry and he had no water to drink or dry food. Then he realized: What the hell? Sha Wujing had already returned to the Heavenly Court to return to his life. His and Wu Hong's luggage were placed in Wu Hong's magical warehouse, and he was empty-handed, with only a string of Buddhist beads left in his hand...

what to eatDo you eat your hands?

Fortunately, Wu Hong came back before dark.

"How? Would His Royal Highness Qin Guang be willing to help?"

"Don't worry, King Qin Guang is really a kind-hearted King of Hades with a sense of justice." Boss Wu sat down next to Elder Tang, took out a water bag and drank a couple of sips, then wiped his mouth and continued, "Qin Guangwang is also very disgusted with Gao Laozhuang's beasts who bully the weak and fear the strong, who bully and harm innocent women. Tell them to go to the [-]th floor of hell first. By the way, the matter of Bajie's wife has also been settled. Reincarnation Go to the home of a wealthy family in Chang'an City. There are two sons and one daughter in that family, both grown up. If Bajie's wife is reborn in this family as an old woman, she will be loved by her parents and protected by her elder brothers and sisters. Maybe when we return to Chang'an, the reincarnated Miss Gao will already be able to walk."

"That's good... Cough ~ Wu Kong, where is the water bag for the teacher?" Seeing Wu Kong drink up the water in the water bag in one go, without thinking of him at all, Tang Xuanzang was speechless for a while, but also really hungry Thirst was unbearable, so he could only remind him softly.

Wu Kong: "..." Oh no!His pig brain!He almost forgot that Elder Tang was a mortal, and he was so hungry that he didn't eat a meal.

When he was leaving just now, he was worried that he wasn't there. In case the ghost Gao Cuilan got angry and hurt Elder Tang, he drew a circle around him with a golden cudgel. The protection measures were well done, but he forgot to circle him. Elder Tang inside left some drinking water and food... Fortunately, he came back in time, otherwise Elder Tang was not captured and eaten by the monster, and he would have starved to death first.

"Hey~Elder Tang, are you starving? Well, drink some water first, I'll cook right away!" Wu Kong awkwardly took out Tang Xuanzang's water bag, and then took out the luggage that Sha Wujing had packed for them and turned over. , there are still a lot of pancakes in it. When Sha Wujing and the others left, they left all the food for the two of them. However, there was not much jerky left. Soaked vegetable soup, lit a bonfire, burned a large pot of soup, and baked pancakes until both sides were browned, the master and apprentice ate vegetable soup, and finally filled their stomachs.

"Hey! Elder, it won't work if we go on like this. One of us must learn how to cook, or we should catch a little demon who can cook and come to work as a coolie?" Wu Kong asked him tentatively.

In fact, Wu Hao can still cook simple meals, but there are only a few of them. They still don't know when they will be able to return to Chang'an City. They can't just rely on those few dishes to survive the journey, right?

Tang Xuanzang paused when he drank water, swallowed half of the water in his throat, and then slowly said: "There is no rush, the ones we want to recruit this time must come back to Chang'an with us. The first thing that matters is Temperament must be prudent, diligent and down-to-earth, cautious in words and deeds, and virtuous."

Datang seems to be tolerant and open, but in fact there are also those people who are intriguing and harbor evil intentions. People around them can be more cautious in their actions, so they can avoid troubles.

As for before finding the cook——

"I have seen people cook meals before, but now there is no one else. Let me cook the daily meals in the future." Tang Xuanzang said, actually took out a neat set from the bag that Wu Kong took out. Changing into the Hu suit, and wrapping a turban on her head, at first glance, even Gao Cuilan almost didn't recognize Gao Cuilan emerging from the water.

"It's my sister-in-law, have you eaten yet?" Wu Kong said hello to Gao Cuilan habitually, only after the greeting did she realize that Gao Cuilan is already a ghost and doesn't need to eat.

"Brother, if you have the heart, you might as well burn some paper money and incense candles with me." Gao Cuilan touched her stomach resentfully. After being enlightened by Tang Xuanzang's scriptures, she has recovered her sanity. The hunger and weakness that normal ghosts can feel can feel it.

Gao Cuilan's death was so miserable, and she was burned to death as a monster. Even her own parents didn't dare to set up a tombstone for her and burn incense and paper money. Therefore, from the moment she died, Gao Cuilan, as a ghost, had nothing After eating, she was able to survive until now because of a huge resentment. Now that the resentment has dissipated, the feeling of hunger has returned.

"Let me do it." After all, Tang Xuanzang was more proficient in business, and immediately set up the incense candles to worship. Gao Cuilan's soul greedily inhaled the scent of the incense candles, and her complexion was much better than before.

"We didn't bring paper money, but people in this village should have some. I'll ask Wu Kuan to ask for some later." Tang Xuanzang explained patiently after reading the scriptures.

"That's not necessary." Seeing that the words had already reached the underworld, Wu Hao also explained the agreement between himself and King Qin Guang to Gao Cuilan in detail, encouraging her to go to the underworld to reincarnate as soon as possible. The so-called one day in the sky and one year on the ground, maybe when Zhu Bajie finds Chang'an, she will be reincarnated at that time as a young woman waiting to be married, and Zhu Bajie will come to propose marriage.

Now that you are about to reincarnate, why burn so much paper money?

"I just heard that on the road to Huangquan, if you want to suffer less, you need to take care of it more..." Gao Cuilan was a little embarrassed. She had been a ghost for some time, and it was not because she was afraid of suffering, but she often heard some ghosts. He said that if they didn't give enough benefits, some ghost messengers would take advantage of the opportunity to escort a beautiful female ghost. She was already a married woman, so how could she lose herself to ghost messengers?

"Is there still such a thing? That's good, I will send you to reincarnation myself!" Wu Hong took care of everything.

After finishing speaking, I realized that the phrase "send you to reincarnate with my own hands" doesn't seem to be a good word?Suddenly embarrassing.

"Then it's Senior Brother Lao." Gao Cuilan also had some dark lines.

However, with Sun Wukong personally accompanying her, she finally felt relieved.

No matter how powerful she is as a ghost, Gao Cuilan is just a weak woman in the boudoir who once dared not even kill a chicken.Especially now that she is so anxiously waiting for Zhu Bajie to come and pick her up, why is she willing to let ghosts touch her again?

Ghost messengers: "..." I am not!I don't!Don't talk nonsense!Grandpa Dasheng will beat us to death with a stick!

I don't know if it's because Sun Wukong casts too much psychological shadow on Yama of the Ten Palaces, but the ghost messenger sent by King Qin Guang arrived soon, um, this is the battle...

Seeing a dozen or so ghost messengers float over from a distance, with a sedan chair behind them, and even a female ghost dressed as a maidservant floated on the left and right sides of the sedan chair, Wu Kong and Tang Xuanzang were a little speechless: Is this the detention of a ghost?This is clearly to welcome distinguished guests!

"Great Sage! The little ones are ordered to come and lead the female relatives of Marshal Tianpeng's mansion to the underworld, where they will be reborn to eliminate karma and be reincarnated." The ghost messengers were so polite that they wished to be far away from Monkey King. They had all seen this man with their own eyes. The violent Great Saint Grandpa beat their former colleagues to death with a stick. How dare they bully Gao Cuilan at this moment?They can't wait to confess this aunt!

Gao Cuilan was also a little silent. Ever since Zhu Bajie was taken away, she has tasted all the sufferings in the world. She never expected that her husband's visit would be a blessing in disguise. Almost had to give him face.Of course, Gao Cuilan still doesn't know that King Qin Guang is also a little afraid of Monkey King.

The time had come, and Gao Cuilan didn't stay too long anymore, she believed that Yan Luo of the Ten Temples could discern right from wrong and would definitely uphold justice for her.However, before leaving, he still asked Tang Xuanzang and Wu Kong to take care of them on the way back to Chang'an. If there is news of her parents, they must be invited to Chang'an.

She believed that as long as her husband went down to earth to find her, he would definitely not leave his parents alone.Back then, although my parents thought my husband was a monster, my husband was still filial to my parents, offering silk and satin, gold and silver jewellery, seasonal vegetables and fruits, etc., and even went to the fields to help my father with work.Gao Cuilan couldn't understand why her parents refused to accept her husband.If their family was able to accept their husband at the beginning and didn't make a fuss about finding eminent monks to take him in, how could there be a tragedy of family ruin and death later?

It's meaningless to say these things now, Gao Cuilan only hoped that after this incident, her parents could see clearly: What's the use of being obedient and obedient, even if you get the approval of the neighbors?Didn't he just change his face when he didn't like it?He yelled "killing demons and eliminating demons", but in reality?Didn't they want to find a reason to kill their whole family so that they can occupy the Gao family's mansion and the hundreds of acres of fertile land?

Tang Xuanzang promised to take care of her. If the two elders of the Gao family were willing, he would take them back to Chang'an together. Only then did Gao Cuilan salute her farewell and get on the sedan chair arranged by the ghost messenger. The Hall of Ghost Judgment saw Gao Cuilan's soul entering the path of reincarnation, and then smiled and said goodbye and left.

Seeing Sun Wukong's decent smile, Qin Guangwang and Yan Luowang in the remaining halls couldn't help but feel a little dazed: Is this the Monkey King they knew?

As it turns out, it really is.

Wu Hao walked halfway, and suddenly stretched out his hand and patted his head, as if he had forgotten something important, and turned back again, his eyes were fixed on the book of life and death in King Qin Guang's hand, with a face of "I have something difficult for you I don't know if I should speak or not." The appearance is very similar to his lawless appearance in the past...

King Qin Guang's scalp was numb when he saw him, and he couldn't help but hugged the book of life and death tightly.

What does this monkey want to do?

This is the first time that Wu Kong tried to bully others as "Monkey King".Not to mention, it's really addictive.

"Well, Brother Qin Guangwang, I have a personal matter and would like to borrow your life and death book..."

"No! No, elder brother's book of life and death is not allowed to be borrowed according to the law. If you want to find out someone's past and present life, elder brother will do it for you." King Qin Guang looked at Monkey King warily, and he knew it!This fellow is simply pretending to be obedient in front of Tang Xuanzang, now his true colors are revealed, right?He must have wanted to use his book of life and death to add a few hundred years to Tang Xuanzang's life, hmph!He will not be fooled again!

"That's fine," Wu Hao curled his lips, he really wanted to see how long Elder Tang would live in this life, but, forget it, take your time, and you can't offend Yama of the Ten Temples all at once, Thinking of this, Wu Kong put on the smiley face specially designed for diplomats again, "Brother also knows that my master was born with a hard life, and his mother died young. A few days ago, my master and I passed by the Xiliang Girl Country by chance, and saw that the queen and Master's biological mother's face is [-]% similar, I'm really curious, I want to ask my brother to look through the book of life and death, and see if the queen is really my master's biological mother's reincarnation?"

It turned out to be such a trivial matter!I don’t know if it’s because I’m used to being abused. When I first heard that Sun Wukong only made such a small request, Shidian Yanluo was a little moved: It seems that they have too much prejudice against Sun Wukong. Look, they followed Tang Xuanzang to practice Buddhism. Isn't it great now?

King Qin Guang breathed a sigh of relief, as long as Monkey King doesn't burn his book of life and death, then they can continue to be friends...

However, worried that the monkey had some other "immature little ideas", King Qin Guang immediately used magic to quickly find the life and death book of Xiliang women's country. The queen's status is special, and it is more convenient to check. King Qin Guang couldn't help showing a smile: "The great sage expected it right, the current queen of Xiliang Girl Country is the daughter of Yin Kaishan of the Eastern Tang Dynasty and the wife of Chen Guangrui, who is also your master's biological mother." Yin Wenjiao."

Sure enough!Wu Cong breathed a sigh of relief. Although he didn't have the same affection as Tang Xuanzang for the queen of the Xiliang Women's Kingdom, but knowing that the queen is the reincarnation of Tang Xuanzang's biological mother, if the queen is in trouble in the future, they can justifiably go to make friends with her. Handle, so as not to be involved in the diplomatic relations between the two countries by those who are interested.

After returning, Wu Kong couldn't wait to share the good news with Tang Xuanzang.

In fact, Elder Tang had already guessed in his heart, and now that the guess has been confirmed, he was taken aback for a moment, and then smiled, that's good!

The mother of this life, who occupies a high position, is good at planning, and is assisted by a group of loyal courtiers, is now the Tang king's righteous sister, with the protection of the Tang Dynasty, and he will operate from it. Find a few people who can speak for her, and from time to time say something good for Xiliang Nuguo in front of His Majesty. Thinking about it, this life should be safe and secure.

He won't recognize the queen. If he recognizes him, he will inevitably uncover the scars of his previous life. His mother in that life had a hard life, so it's better to forget about it. Now her mother is the queen of a country. To be polite, even if the mother wants to raise a dozen or twenty male favorites of him in the harem, that is what the queen deserves, who dares to comment?Isn't it more chic and comfortable than my mother's previous life?

Hearing Tang Xuanzang's plan, Wu Hao couldn't help but feel a little envious: "If my mother is also reincarnated and becomes a queen, and also raises a male pet, then I can't recognize her, or my father will find out, and I will hold her. In the middle, you will definitely be beaten to death..."

That's great, Elder Tang finally found his mother. Miss Yin has become a queen now, and I don't know where his parents are now. He doesn't ask his mother to become a queen, as long as he is safe.

"Is there still no news?" Tang Xuanzang asked suddenly. Although he didn't specify it, Wu Kong knew that he was asking if he had found any news about his parents.

"No, the Star Alliance is so big, there are so many planets that have not been pioneered and connected to the Internet, unlike here, there are still gods who can count their fingers, and they can go to the Hall of Yama to check the book of life and death..." Wu Cong smiled wryly and shook Shake your head.

Tang Xuanzang didn't know much about the world Wu Kong was in, so he could only be silent when he heard the words, and patted him on the shoulder, not knowing how to comfort him.He has been a monk for two lifetimes, he is used to being pure-minded and ascetic, he does not value his parents as much as Wu Kong, and his concern for the king of his daughter country is nothing more than guilt, and he wants his mother to live a more comfortable life in this life. The father had no idea at all.

In the previous life, with Yin Wenjiao's family background, her husband and son-in-law went out of Beijing to take office. With the power of Prime Minister Yin, the couple could bring a team of soldiers to escort them along the way, but their father, Chen Guangrui, thought that marrying the prime minister's daughter would be a bit soft In other words, he resolutely refused to ask the father-in-law to send a mansion guard to escort him. He only brought a few servants and a book boy who were newly bought. No wonder the majestic champion of the new discipline, the son-in-law of the prime minister, was taken away by a group of water thieves... Even if he is his biological father, Tang Xuanzang has to say that the tragedy his mother suffered back then, and his half-life loneliness, is he not his father? Caused by his lofty arrogance?

What really upset Tang Xuanzang was that although Chen Guangrui never remarried because of Prime Minister Yin's prestige, less than a year after his mother committed suicide, his father adopted the two maids left by his mother.Tang Xuanzang would not blame those two maidservants, but he was completely chilled by his father. Even when he left Tang Dynasty to go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures in his previous life, he never said goodbye to his father. As for family matters, in fact, he knew in his heart that he would never see his father again in his life.

"Okay, let's not talk about this, elder, where are we going next?" Wu Hong wiped his face and lifted his spirits. It is useless to sit here and be depressed. He has always had a clear goal. He believes that , no matter where his parents are now, he must hope that he can take good care of himself, just like what he expects from his parents, just be safe.

"Let's go to the Huoluo Kingdom first. I have an acquaintance there. Let's settle down there first. Then, you go to find the old man, the Taishang Laojun, and ask him to melt the curse for you, so as not to have long nights and dreams!" Tang Xuanzang pondered. road.

Now that they gave up learning the Buddhist scriptures, as far as he was concerned, Guanyin Bodhisattva's pursuit was nothing more than taking back his brocade cassock and nine-ringed tin staff.

However, Wukong is different. The curse on his head is a treasure refined by Guanyin. Apart from Guanyin, only people with a higher level of cultivation than Guanyin can remove that thing for Wukong.Regarding this point, Tang Xuanzang had read many books related to this in modern times, and had seen many speculations in this regard. Among them, he felt that the most reliable one was that a scholar once mentioned One point: No matter how powerful Guanyin is, can he be as powerful as the great sage Taishang Laojun?Moreover, Taishang Laojun's gossip alchemy furnace is a well-known treasure in the three worlds, if it can't even melt the magic weapon that Guanyin, a younger generation, can easily refine, wouldn't it be embarrassing?

Because of the face-saving character of Old Master Tai Tai, as long as Wu Hong is a little aggressive, even for the sake of face, Lao Jun will definitely find a way to melt the curse.

Wu Hao thinks it is right, he shouldn't be too experienced in dealing with such "old seniors" who are desperate for face, heck ~ in the past, every time he found some rare and good sources of goods, he would find these old seniors to digest them.

After Gao Cuilan's matter was resolved, Tang Xuanzang recited the sutras on the spot for a long time, but after all, this place was too heavily polluted by the ghost's yin energy, and it couldn't dissipate for a while, so Tang Xuanzang didn't care about it.

As the so-called cycle of karma and unsatisfactory retribution, when those few people conspired against the family wealth of high-ranking officials and harmed innocent and weak women, when these villagers sat idly by, or even secretly agreed, the evil fruit has already been planted, and now no matter how much they cry and repent, it will be too late. It's just because of the fear of ghosts. Tang Xuanzang can't say that he has much sympathy for such people, but rather loathes them.

Maybe back then, the mother chose to commit suicide after meeting him because there were too many Gaolaozhuang villagers around her with malicious intentions and gossip, so she would rather commit suicide than preserve her son's reputation?

When leaving, Tang Xuanzang offered to ask Wu Kong to pack him a bag, which included a change of clothes, shoes and socks, some dry food, and two water bags filled with clean water.

"Don't be so troublesome, elder? How easy is it to put it in my warehouse? How tiring is it?" Wu Hao said that he couldn't understand. Do monks like to ask for trouble?

"No... I'm just afraid that if you leave me alone like this time, you won't hunt as a teacher. If you starve for a few days, I'm afraid that after you come back, you will have to go to the Nether Palace to find me." Tang The elder gave him a resentful look.

Wu Hao: "..." I didn't expect Elder Tang to hold grudges like this? !

However, the shelf life of wheat cakes is not long. After thinking about it, Wu Hao bought a lot of compressed foods from Xingwang. This kind of compressed foods packed in vacuum is not as bad as compressed biscuits. The small package was just enough for one person to eat when unpacked. Wu Kong brought more than a dozen packages for Tang Xuanzang, which was enough for him to eat for five days, and only occupied a small space in the package, plus clothes, shoes and socks. And the water bag, made a small bundle, and handed it to him with a smile——

"Elder Tang, I know I was wrong! Next time I draw circles for you, I will arrange the logistics for you first!"

Tang Xuanzang glared at him, and firmly tied the burden on his back.

Relying on others is worse than relying on oneself, this truth, he has already realized at the cost of his life in his previous life.

However, you still have to draw circles, you can rely on yourself to eat, and you have to rely on the golden cudgel to defend against monsters!In his previous life, what he hated the most was that Sun Wukong would draw circles to trap himself inside. Unexpectedly, Feng Shui would take turns, and in this life he would take the initiative to ask for circles... Thinking of this, Elder Tang felt a little overwhelmed.
