Tang Seng is a cook

The Jade Emperor saw the Tathagata Buddha's very dejected appearance, he was startled for a moment, half-believed, and said: "If it's not you, then who else?"

There are not many people in the world who can hit such a fierce thunder. They can be counted in one slap, and Tathagata can be regarded as the top among them.

Besides, he's so close... the hand gestures fit well...

Seeing that the Jade Emperor didn't believe him at all, the Tathagata Buddha felt very desperate, but in that state at that time, he wondered if he really swung a thunderbolt out of desperation and chopped the Peacock Daming King into ashes up.

But in the world, how can there be such a coincidence, how can there be such a good thing.

The Buddha didn't say a word, and sat on the lotus platform with his head down, calculating carefully with his fingers.

It was still hazy, and nothing could be figured out.

In the end, the Buddha was also bored, slapped his thigh, and said in a hateful voice: "Where's your tortoise shell? Lend me to use it!"

After hearing this, the Jade Emperor was shocked and said: "No way, as for not being so, you really didn't do it? Forget it, it's just a beast with a foreign surname, and its hair hasn't faded. Is it big money?"

His ancient tortoise shell was transformed from the tortoise shell of Nuwa's heaven-repairing tortoise, and it cannot be driven without divine power.

But if you don’t move, it’s fine. If you move it and use it once, it will take thousands of years of skill. In the end of the Dharma era, the merits and virtues have not yet fallen. Those immortals and Buddhas who are not careful to maintain the dharma body are afraid of even the slightest damage. There are no immortals Qi repair.

If the Tathagata really used the tortoise shell, he might lose his strength and fall down the throne of the Buddha before Tang Sanzang went to the west to learn the scriptures and returned!

For the sake of a peacock, the mother of Buddha, who has only a false name, why not?

Tathagata also reacted, and sat down on the lotus platform very dejectedly, with a bitter expression on his face, and sighed: "From now on, I will bear the reputation of killing my mother, and I will bear it if I don't... ..."

The Jade Emperor stroked his beard, thought for a while, and suddenly said in surprise: "Hey, monk, it's very strange to say that you were hurt by that peacock swallowing it alive, why did you recognize him as the mother of the Buddha later? That peacock He's still a man!"

The Buddha sighed, his eyes straightened, and he said casually: "It doesn't matter if the male is not fair or the female is not female. Isn't it because I cut his back open..."

The Jade Emperor sneered and said, "I said monk, did you become confused after studying for a long time?"

He pointed down, and counted to Tathagata with his fingers: "Last time, how many times was the monkey swallowed by goblins along the way? Let's just talk about the ones that have come out. Fan two, Maitreya's yellow-browed boy, Manjusri, the green lion, and even the exterminated red-scaled boa constrictor, didn't they all swallow that monkey?"

The Jade Emperor looked at Tathagata and said, "Why, I didn't see that monkey come out, so I called him mother!"

He originally wanted to warn Tathagata not to mind the life and death of the peacock, but as soon as he said those words, a thunderbolt hit the Jade Emperor's toes instantly, smashing the white jade floor paved with fairy stones as thick as a chopstick. The Jade Emperor staggered in shock, backed up a few steps hastily, and fell on the slump behind him.

It's so good to hang on!

The waiters in the palace and the maid of honor in the palace were also shocked and panicked like headless chickens. It was the Buddha who reacted quickly and shouted: "Stay back!"

Regardless of whether these people listened to him or not, he rolled up his sleeves and threw them all out. He turned to look at the Jade Emperor and saw that he was looking at him with a pale face and horror, so he quickly spread his hands, and said: " I didn't hit you!"

The Jade Emperor shivered, waved his hands, and said with a trembling voice, "I'm not blind!"

He wiped the cold sweat on his forehead with his sleeve, and said weakly: "What did I say just now?"

Scared Dad!

The Buddha thought he was stupid or not, so he dared to ask!Quickly said: "No, what did you say, you didn't say anything!"

The Jade Emperor also came to his senses, he laughed and said: "Haha, haha, I'm confused, yes yes yes, I didn't say anything, I didn't say anything!"

The Buddha said: "Then what, it's so deserted in your hall..."

The Jade Emperor was afraid that the Buddha would run away, so he didn't want to be alone now, so he hurriedly said: "What are you afraid of when you are deserted, let's go to the singing and dancing!"

As he was speaking, he was about to call people in, but the Buddha quickly stopped him, pointed carefully at the smoking hole in the ground, and said, "I mean it doesn't look warm, is there any carpet or mat, take it out and spread it!"

The Jade Emperor couldn't help but wanted to go up and give the Buddha a loving hug, he was so careful!

But after thinking about it, this bald donkey did not collude with this misfortune, and wanted to kick him, and finally called Gong'e in, and covered the hall with thick carpets.

The carpet was laid, and the Jade Emperor called the fairies to play music and dance. It was just now that the Lingxiao Palace was so cold and terrifying, and it regained its vitality.

The two watched the song and dance absent-mindedly. The new blanket was very soft, and there was a hole when they stepped on it, and it was not smooth. For a while, they get entangled with their own or other people's sleeves, making a mess, and the two of them just stare at each other blankly without making a sound.

The fairies were terrified, and danced a chaotic song, thinking that they would be punished, but who knew that the two sitting above even praised a few words, slapped their hands, and told them to go down like that.

magic……

The little fairies ran away in a hurry and came out of the main hall before chattering.

A wise man hurriedly said: "What are you talking about, don't you want to kill yourself? Let's all go back, let's find a thick blanket, and practice dancing on it in the future!"

What is good at the top will be bad at the bottom, as has been the case since ancient times.

The fairies all left, and the singing and dancing had stopped, leaving only the Jade Emperor and the Buddha sitting on it in a daze.

The two of them sat blankly for a while, and the Jade Emperor said, "Monk, do you want to show filial piety to that peacock?"

The Buddha now hated the two brothers to the core. Hearing this, he snorted coldly and said, "Why, I'll make him a coffin, wear hemp and filial piety and cry for seven days, and wait for him to come back and sue me?"

As soon as the words were finished, the two of them started a cold war at the same time, and the Jade Emperor said: "Say something else, say something else!"

The Buddha also coughed, and said, "Well, do you still have your longevity fruit? How about some plates, let's have a drink?"

The Jade Emperor said, "Okay!" With a wave of his hand, someone immediately went to prepare.

When the wine was served, it was hot, and the two of them drank a glass together and drank several glasses in a row. After a long while, the Jade Emperor sighed leisurely: "It's good to be alive..."

The Buddha said sullenly: "That time, I thought so too..."

Holding the wine glasses, the two looked at each other, smiled very bitterly, and felt vigilant in their hearts, they did not dare to arrange monkeys, nor did they dare to pursue the truth about the Tathagata's confession of his mother.

In the Yao Chi, the Queen Mother soon learned of this, she snorted coldly, and called for singing and dancing to watch.

She wouldn't worry about that idleness and let those two die.

If the Jade Emperor and Tathagata were dead, perhaps the world would be quieter, the Queen Mother sneered.

Not to mention the two bosses who suddenly encountered major setbacks in their lives, but only Wukong, who hastily turned back to the lower realm to find his master and younger brother.

It's easy to find. There are no people in this vast mountain. Looking around, beside Shituoling, the wisp of cooking smoke that dissipates in mid-air is very conspicuous.

Wukong suddenly remembered that when he was leaving, he forgot to leave the tent for Master. He felt annoyed, fearing that Master and the others were sleeping in the open to keep warm, so he quickly accelerated and flew straight down.

The monkey heaved a sigh of relief when the original wooden house came into view. He lowered his head from the clouds and pushed open the door of the wooden house.

He was not there, Wu Wang led Ba Jie and Wu You to make a fuss, the room was very hot, a three-headed little white dragon, wearing a white coat and shorts, bare chubby feet, hands clenched Hugging a little chubby pink pig tightly, laughing loudly, crackling and running up and down the room.

Wuyou was dressed similarly to his senior brother, but he didn't dare to wear short ones. The sleeves and trousers were longer, but the sleeves were tied up. He looked like he had just woken up, and the red marks on his face hadn't faded away. A pair of buns, chasing after Wu Wang relentlessly.

Relying on their great skills, these two guys jumped around the room, stepped on pillars, jumped on tables, and even ran around the roof twice.

Fortunately, the house is clean, otherwise it would be really noisy.

As soon as the monkey pushed the door open, Wu Wang saw it, his eyes lit up instantly, and his milky voice called out crisply: "Brother! Help me!"

Holding the humming Bajie, Bajie rushed over!

The monkey squatted down, stretched out his arms, hugged the two things heavily, stretched out his hand again, and picked up Wuyou who was chasing after him, stood up, shook the three of them, and said: "Master! ?”

Wu Wang lifted Ba Jie up and placed it in front of him, resisting Wu You's Wu Ying's grasp, not letting him tickle him, and panting, "Master is cooking!"

Wukong said: "Master will do it himself, why didn't you go to help."

Wu Wang smiled and said: "Master said, we all fought today, we were so tired and frightened, and told us to play by ourselves, not to go."

Wukong snorted and said: "Have fun, don't fight, senior brother is listening outside, thinking we are demolishing the house."

Wuyou stopped fighting with Bajie, who was waving hooves, and said aggrievedly: "Senior Brother, look at Second Senior Brother, he combed my hair while I was sleeping!"

The monkey didn't understand these things either, so he looked at his junior brother and said, "It's so cute, what's the matter, the baby doesn't think it looks good?"

Wuyou burst into tears immediately, "This is a girl's haircut..." He wailed loudly, without any tears on his face.

Wukong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, so he had no choice but to put on a straight face, exhorting him to forget: "What a mess!"

Wu Wang hid behind Ba Jie, smiled and winked at the monkey, and said silently, "Isn't it cute? I think so too!"

Bajie also waved his little hoof, hummed twice, and Xiaodouzi blinked: He also thinks it's cute!

The monkey almost laughed, and walked in with the three leather monkeys in his arms. He changed the subject and said, "Bajie still can't talk? I watched it today. During the fight, he was easily caught by others. He still didn't practice well. Tonight, he talked to the big monkey. Brother, do your homework together!"

Bajie was pulling the little chubby pig's trotters, playing with the little junior brother again, very happy, when he heard Wukong's words, Xiaodouzi stared at him instantly, and looked over, his face seemed to be written all over: " I seem to have heard something terrible?"

Wukong nodded and said, "That's right, it will start tonight!"

Ba Xiaodai groaned, covered his eyes with the chubby hoof, and pretended not to exist.

Monkey cheerfully carried the three fat guys to the long couch inside, put them down, and said, "How do I get to the kitchen? I'll go see Master."

The three of them stretched out two chubby hands, one chubby hoof, and one to the right: "Go in there!", "Humph!"

Wukong rubbed the three fat guys one by one, and said: "Don't make trouble anymore, when the house collapses, be careful of master's spanking!"

The three leather monkeys agreed together, Wukong smiled, turned around and left, but just after he turned the corner, he heard a snort behind him. Hearing the sound, it should be that the couch fell down. The monkeys heard the three crackling and beating again There was a fuss, but he didn't look back, shook his head with a smile, and left.

In the house built by Hongye, the kitchen is at the back, so it is easy to escape. Wukong walked along the corridor for a long time before he arrived at the place. It’s no wonder that Zhuang Fan didn’t come out to greet him, because the master couldn’t hear the movement in front of him. Didn't know he was back.

There are several pots and stoves in the kitchen, which is very convenient. Zhuang Fan cooks pancakes, stews pork knuckles, cooks a pot of porridge, and stews a pot of soup.

The monkey came in and saw the master running back and forth between several pots and stoves, so he took care of the porridge pot for him, and complained: "Master, you dote on those little ones too much, and it's tiring to do a favor." Not bad, I see you are busy."

Once Zhuang Fan came back to his senses, he saw the big apprentice sitting there, stirring the porridge pot with a spoon, and then he let go of his heart, and said with a smile, "Wukong is back! Did the journey go well? What did the Buddha say?"

Wukong sighed, and said: "Master, you are too worried! If things go on like this, Tie Xin won't be able to resist such a toss!"

Zhuang Fan laughed loudly, and said: "Stinky boy, a hard heart is a curse!"

Monkey scratched his head in embarrassment, and said, "I'm just making an analogy."

Zhuang Fan came over with a smile and rubbed the forehead of his big apprentice Mao Dudu, and said, "Cook a meal, what are you afraid of?"

He said again: "Today, Wu Wang turned into an extremely angry person and had a fight. Ba Jie was suddenly arrested again. Wu You also vomited later. The three of them were all frightened. They might be so scared. Let them Go into the kitchen, if we get a fryer, will we still have dinner tonight?"

Zhuang Fan went to the cutting board, brought chives, sprinkled them on the porridge, and said to Wukong: "The porridge is ready, don't need to make it, go and show Master the fire, and the soup will be ready in a while."

Then he continued: "I came back, asked them to wash up, and watched them fall asleep, except for Wu You who slept more deeply, those two were a little bit frightened."

Wukong looked at the fire honestly, and said strangely: "I came back today before I arrived at Nantianmen, and it didn't take long. Why did the three of them sleep so short? But are you still afraid?"

Zhuang Fan laughed, and said, "Last time, Master also took an enchantment bead from the Bodhisattva, and threw them into sleep!"

Wukong let out an oh, and said, "So that's how it is!"

Zhuang Fan was very surprised, and said while serving vegetables: "Why didn't you go to Nantianmen today, but what happened?"

Seeing that the monkey wanted to help serve the dishes, he quickly said: "Ah, by the way, Wukong, you go to take a bath first, the master still has two cooking dishes, after you wash up, go play with your little brother and the others for a while, then eat, wait After dinner, let's talk again!"

Anyway, the monkey came back safely, and it was not too late.

Wukong didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said helplessly, "Master, I'm not afraid..."

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "Master knows that I, Wukong, is very courageous. Go and help Master take care of those three. I am afraid that they will be afraid and feel ashamed, so I refuse to tell Master, you are a senior brother, you must get closer, go Bar!"

The monkey was very speechless, and said: "Master, you are just worrying about nothing, everyone should get closer to Master, okay?"

Zhuang Fan was happy, rubbed the monkey's hair, and said: "Go and wash, wash it clean, go to get rid of bad luck, and eat later! The bathroom is out of the kitchen, take two steps forward, and turn to the right! You can't find it. Call Master!"

Hearing what the master said, the monkey also felt that his body was not clean. He had always wondered whether the black ash from the peacock would fall on him. When he flew back, he subconsciously flew against the wind.

Thinking of this, the monkey rushed out immediately, and found the bathroom door after a few strokes. Seeing that hot water had been placed inside, and the temperature was just right, he immediately washed himself from head to toe, even his body Not a single piece of her clothes fell out, and they were all washed.

The monkey was lingering in the bathroom, and after a while, Wu Wang came to him, and the little white dragon knocked on the door and shouted, "Brother, Master told us to eat! Have you finished washing?"

The monkey felt that he hadn't washed it clean yet, when he saw that Wuwang had come, he was overjoyed and said, "Not yet, darling, come here and wash it up for senior brother!"

Naturally, Wu Wang would not refuse. After entering the door, he was washed from head to toe by his elder brother several times. Only then did the monkey feel satisfied. After wiping it clean, he found a clean monk robe and changed into it. He threw away those wet clothes first, and followed Wu Wang Forget about going to dinner together.

Now there is no place to put a table in this kitchen, so Zhuang Fan put the table in the entrance hall. There are two or three large windows here. I don’t know where Hongye got the whole piece of crystal. It is very flat and transparent, just like glass. , embedded in the window frame, the whole hall is very bright, and you can see the scenery outside the window, eating here is the best.

Zhuang Fan cooked a table full of dishes, and took out a small bottle of wine, which was made from red leaves. It was brought to him with the letter a few days ago, Zhuang Fan said: "Master allows you to drink a small glass today."

Wuyou said happily: "Really!? Dad! Can I drink too?"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "What do you think? Do you dare to drink?"

The father-to-be fainted immediately, and said with a bitter face, "I dare not..."

Everyone laughed kindly and praised him, but Wuyou felt embarrassed and ate obediently.

Seeing that he was still combing that hairstyle just now, Wukong said strangely: "Baby, you don't like that hairstyle, why are you still combing it? Why don't you take it off?"

Wu Wang was on the sidelines, laughing so hard that he couldn't help laughing, but he didn't dare to let Wu You see, he hid behind Wu Kong, shaking with laughter.

Wuyou gave his senior brother a sad look, and said angrily, "I'm going to comb it, hum! I hang around in front of the second senior brother all the time, reminding him how much he is going too far!"

Wukong also almost complained, what logic is this little fat man.

Zhuang Fan held Bajie in his arms, fed Bajie, watched them talking with a smile, and didn't get involved.

The master and apprentice chatted and laughed, and the children seemed to have forgotten the thrilling hasty battle in this relaxed and happy atmosphere. After all, Zhuang Fan was careful, and it was obvious that they didn't eat much, so he It's Wukong, and he has less appetite.

As for Bajie, who was held in his arms, he only drank a few sips of soup, and then groaned and refused to eat any more. He lay lazily in Master's arms, with his tail curled up and down, looking extremely listless.

He didn't make a sound, and still let the children wash the dishes after the meal. He watched from the door with his arms folded, and said slowly: "Today, if anyone breaks the bowl, the master will not deduct the meal fee."

The children immediately laughed and said, "Master, then you are miserable, what if you don't have a job left today!"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "That's not easy, there are trees outside the door, whoever makes a plate and bowl, go to the door to cut a piece of wood, make a wooden bowl, and eat with that in the future."

Just as he was talking, Wu You swished, and with a slip of his hand, a plate flew out and hit the edge of the iron pot very crisply. Fortunately, it didn't break, only a stubble broke.

Zhuang Fan clapped his hands and said, "Okay, this plate has its own owner, and it will be dedicated to Wuyou in the future!"

Wuyou went to see Wuwang weepingly: "Second Senior Brother..."

Wu Wang is wrong. Today, I had no choice but to say: "Okay, brother, I will change it for you, don't cry, be good!"

Wu You immediately waved at Zhuang Fan happily, and said, "Daddy, the second senior brother said, this is for him to use!"

Zhuang Fan rubbed his beard and suddenly had a very bad premonition.

Sure enough, after dinner that day, Wu You, the troublemaker, broke two bowls and two plates, and it happened that his father and his three senior brothers shared one each!

Seeing that the situation was not going well, Wu You flicked his hand and slipped away. The remaining three looked at each other, then looked at Master, Zhuang Fan rubbed his beard, and said: "Well, brother and friend, it's good, Master uses that plate!"

After speaking, he also slipped away.

Wukong glanced at Wukong and forgot to say: "Hey, I think, my little brother just combed his hair, it seems a bit unworthy, did the master buy a lot of clothes and shoes for Nao Nao in the city last time, I remember everything? Not yet Can you post it in time?"

Wu Wang had a tacit understanding, and said: "Yes, yes, yes, I also bought a lot of jewelry, but the pearls on the shoes and jewelry didn't look good, so I changed them, I only wore half of them, and I didn't finish them, so I didn't wear them. Mail away!"

The monkey grinned and said, "Let's try it out for Nao Nao first, let Wu You help, and see if it looks good on it, how about it?"

After dinner, Bajie, who turned back into a little monk to help wash the dishes, also blinked, nodded and said, "I think it's good!"

The three senior brothers clapped their hands together, and it was so happy to make a decision!

In the evening, the four brothers and sisters got together and had a fight for a long time. In the end, everyone wore doll skirts and asked the master to judge which one looked the best. Even the little chubby pig Bajie wore a pink skirt and ran around like crazy .

Zhuang Fan, who was drinking water, almost choked himself to death, coughing so loudly.

Doesn't every little boy have a heart that loves floral skirts?

The children had played and changed their clothes, and finally went to play poker. Zhuang Fan didn't send them to bed early today, but they were conscious in their hearts and knew the seriousness.

Zhuang Fan kept watch until midnight, and he was relieved when he saw that there were no more nightmares.

But as soon as he closed his eyes, he heard Wukong whisper: "Master, Peacock Daming King, dead..."

Zhuang Fan was startled, at this time he was half lying down, Wuyou was sleeping on his stomach, Bajie was sleeping on his lap, Wuwang turned into a little dragon, wrapped around Master's wrist, and was snoring, only Wukong was sleeping alone In the bed, beside him.

Zhuang Fan went over to touch it, and there was a little hairy monkey in the bed, his face was full of tears, his heart ached so badly, he quickly hugged the little monkey in his arms, and gently coaxed him: "It's okay, it's all over! Wukong Don't be afraid!"

Wukong said dreamily: "At that time, the peacock's judge's pen almost stabbed me in the chest. I almost thought that I was going to die, but I was not afraid. I just felt that Master would be sad if he found out!"

Zhuang Fan's heart tightened when he heard it, his eyes became sore, he touched the little monkey's back, and said softly, "Later?"

The monkey said in a low voice: "At that time, the Buddha came. He yelled to stop, and suddenly a purple thunderbolt fell, and directly split the peacock into black ashes..."

As the little monkey spoke, he choked up a sob and stretched out his hand to wipe away his tears.

Zhuang Fan's heart turned cold when he heard that, Tathagata killed the Buddha's mother just like that?

Unexpectedly, Wukong said: "Master, it's just that I felt wrong later."

Zhuang Fan hugged the little monkey up and told him not to bury his face and be careful not to catch his breath, so Wukong put his arms around Master's neck, leaned over, and said to Zhuang Fan's ear: "When I fly back, think carefully about it. After a while, the moment the peacock was chopped to death, it was obvious that the Tathagata also looked terrified and terrified, and later, he kept looking up at the sky, and he sat on the same spot for a long time after I flew away. , that Peacock Daming King, he definitely did not kill him."

The little monkey also moved his hands together, and said angrily: "Master, I suspect that someone else struck the lightning and saved me!"

Zhuang Fan breathed a sigh of relief, startled and terrified, patted Wukong on the back and said: "Today is too dangerous, and I blame Master, if the roc was saved, the peacock would not bother you !"

Wukong shook his head, and said in a nasal voice: "Master, kill him to avoid future troubles, and you will be done. Otherwise, let the Buddha save the roc, and you will be in trouble when you return to the West Paradise."

Zhuang Fan sighed, thinking that there is no apprentice who is more caring than Wukong in the world, and wiped the little monkey's face again, saying, "But are you scared? Master looks at you, and you didn't even eat a few bites for dinner."

The monkey put his arms around Master's neck and said embarrassingly: "I just think that if I can't come back to see Master, Master will be sad to death, so I am not happy. I can't eat because I feel sick all the time. The peacock turned into black ashes. A whirlwind just came, almost blowing my face, and I always wondered if it was swallowed in my stomach."

Zhuang Fan laughed, and said: "The lightning strikes so hard, it's no different from the charcoal next to it, the most black nostrils, it's okay."

Hearing this, the little monkey groaned, and hurriedly whispered, "Master, I didn't wash my nose just now!"

Zhuang Fan couldn't help laughing, thinking why the child Wukong suddenly became obsessed with cleanliness, and said: "It doesn't matter, you have nose hair, but if there is any dust, it will be kept out. Once you take a bath and rinse, it will be clean long ago."

The little monkey hung on the master's arm, suspiciously said: "Really?"

Zhuang Fan pinched him and said, "What did Master lie to you for?"

The little monkey was relieved, and came to hug the master again, and said coquettishly, "I want to take a bath when I get up tomorrow morning!"

Zhuang Fan said softly: "Okay, Master still has a lot of hot spring water, and I will release it for you when the time comes."

The little monkey was satisfied, and quietly hugged Zhuang Fan without saying a word.

After a long time, the monkey whispered again: "Master, this is the first time I have seen such a strong person, and he died in front of my eyes in a flash, cleanly and without leaving any bones."

He sighed, and said: "The peacock brother is dead. I forgot to say that their brother has no father, but their mother, Fenghuang, conceived it. It's just that their mother has long since died. When the peacock dies, his soul is scattered. I'm afraid that in the future, no one will mention him again..."

Zhuang Fan didn't know how to comfort this sensitive child, so he could only hold him in his arms, stroke the back of the little monkey's head over and over again, and give him warm embrace and comfort.

Wukong sighed leisurely: "Master, I will definitely be careful in the future, and don't put myself in a dangerous situation." In the dark night, the little monkey's eyes were shining, and he said softly: "I have a master, a younger brother, and a younger brother." Brother, I can no longer make you sad..."

Zhuang Fan patted the monkey's back lightly, nearly weeping, choked up and said, "Wukong is really a good boy of Master..."

The little monkey was suddenly very embarrassed, and asked in a low voice: "Master, did you dislike me when you first met me?"

Zhuang Fan laughed, and said: "How could it be, Master is very happy when he sees Wukong!"

The little monkey said: "Master released me from under Wuzhi Mountain. I couldn't be happier. It's just that Master frowned when he saw me and always sighed. It's just that the next day healed up and he always smiled at me. I frightened the horse, and the master fell to the ground and injured his head, and scolded me..."

The little monkey said: "At that time, I was really worried!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Fan let out a long sigh in his stomach, and said in his heart: "Silly boy, Master just came here at that time, although he was very happy to see you, but because he didn't remember anything, he only knew that he was a modern person, so I'm afraid it would be worse than yours." I'm a thousand times more apprehensive."

So he coaxed him softly: "Master looks at you and frowns, because he feels sorry for Wukong. He has been under the mountain for 500 years, without food or drink, exposed to wind and sun, severe cold and heat. It looks miserable and desolate. Master feels uncomfortable. , that’s why he frowned.” Tang Sanzang’s fault, he himself could only bear.

The monkey smiled quietly, and said, "Didn't you dislike me?"

Zhuang Fan nodded and said, "How come, I, Wu Kong, is the most handsome Monkey King, how could Master despise it?"

The little monkey laughed and said, "Only Master will praise me for being good-looking among the people in the world."

Zhuang Fan resolutely said: "We can't let them find out, if they all know, what should we do if we come to snatch Wukong from Master?"

He shook the little monkey and said, "Wukong was finally snatched by Master, and he has been doomed for several lifetimes!"

The little monkey put his arms around Master's neck and cried quietly again.

Seeing that the little monkey was restless tonight, Zhuang Fan worried that he would fall asleep after crying and do something wrong, so he hugged him and said, "Master is leading Wukong, let's go outside for a walk?"

The monkey was very happy when he heard that, since he had his junior brother and the others, he hadn't been alone with his master, quietly.

So in the middle of the night, Zhuang Fan put the three little ones under the quilt, carried Wukong on his back, and quietly went out the door.

The moonlight is quiet, the sky is blue, the snowfield is vast, and the mountain tops are towering. Zhuang Fan put the little monkey on his shoulders, told him to ride on his neck, and led him into this quiet, cold and peaceful world.

The two masters and apprentices were slowly crawling on the mountain path. The monkey held the master's forehead firmly and asked worriedly, "Master, are you tired?"

Zhuang Fan didn't catch his breath, and said: "When Master was young, he carried firewood that was heavier than you up and down the mountain, and nothing happened. This journey is much easier and not tiring."

He asked again, "Is Wukong cold?"

The monkey shook his head and said: "I have long been a Taiyi True Immortal, I am not cold or cold!"

The two chatted in detail, and after a while, Zhuang Fan climbed to the top of a small hill.

There is still some residual snow here that has not been blown away by the wind, and Zhuang Fan stepped on it, making a creaking sound, making the night even more peaceful.

Zhuang Fan faced the west, the sky and the earth were vast and boundless, only the stars shining in the night sky, and there was not even a single lamp on the ground.

He stretched out his hand and said to Wukong: "Wukong, that's where our master and apprentice are going."

The monkey stared blankly at the night scene. It seemed to be the first time since he was born thousands of years ago, standing on the top of the mountain on a winter night, looking out like this.

Wukong said blankly: "Master, there is a certain distance in that distant place, and we walked it during the day."

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Master has never walked this road before, but I, Wukong, have walked it many times."

The monkey put its chin on the top of the master's head, hummed, looked at the boundless night, and said very perplexedly: "There is another way to go to Lingtai Mountain, but when you return to Huaguo Mountain from Lingtai Mountain, you will already be able to fly." , I just walked straight back and forth, thinking about it, I must have passed by Shituoling back then, but I didn’t pay attention.”

After a short pause, he continued, "I'm afraid that wherever we have been, I have also been there 500 years ago."

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "The mountains, rivers and rivers in this world have never changed, only we are passing by in a hurry..."

The monkey said blankly: "Master, even the mountains and rivers, there are vicissitudes of life."

Zhuang Fan chuckled, and said, "Wukong is right, there is nothing, it remains the same..."

After hearing this, the monkey didn't speak for a long time, and after a while, he whispered: "I know, nothing will change."

Zhuang Fan asked curiously: "Oh? What is it? Master really didn't expect that Wukong would tell Master to hear it?"

The little monkey was very shy, endured it for a while, and said softly: "Master's love for his disciples is always the same..."

Hearing the disciple's words, Zhuang Fan's throat suddenly choked up and he was speechless, tears streaming down his face slowly.

Yes, the vicissitudes of life, only love will last forever.

The master and apprentice stood quietly on the top of the mountain for a long time, until the sky was getting darker, Zhuang Fan said softly: "Wukong, do you see, the sky is getting dark."

The monkey wondered, "Isn't it almost dawn?"

Zhuang Fan chuckled and said, "This one is called the darkness before dawn."

He said: "The moment before the victory is the most difficult, just like the moment of darkness before the dawn. If we survive it, what awaits us is the red sun in the sky. If we can't survive it, it will be the endless night."

After hearing this, the monkey thought for a while and said, "Oh, I understand. I have lived under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years. Every day is painful and hopeless, but nothing compares to Guanyin Bodhisattva who came and told me to wait for the Buddhist scriptures. Every day after that was hard."

He said: "Since Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva has left, my disciple's heart has grown like grass, and every bone and every bone seam is itching. For a moment, I thought, I will be free, and the Buddhist scriptures will come soon." For a while, I thought, no, he won’t come, when he sees me, he will scream in fright, run away, and want me..."

"It's just such a day-to-day torment. Sometimes I think, just cut off my meridians and die, but I can't do it. I always think, after all, it's better to live than to die. My old grandson was born to fight against the world, How can you die so easily?"

Wukong's tone was light, but Zhuang Fan felt pain in his heart when he heard it. He hugged the little monkey, told him to sit on his arm, pointed to the distance, and said, "Wukong, this world is infinitely vast. You can walk back and forth, but after all, you are superficial and you can’t understand it. You follow the master and walk all the way. Although the master restrains you and tells you not to disturb ordinary people, but you tell the master, how are they living, are they suffering?"

The monkey thought about it, and said: "Ordinary people live in this world like ants. They don't know how to control the wind and rain, and they don't have magic spells. How can they not suffer? Even the emperors in the mortal world are bullied by gods and ghosts. Of course, who would want to be bullied by gods and ghosts? If you step on it, you will go to step on it, and after you step on it, you will dislike them for getting in the way. You work hard every day, barely warm
