Tang Seng is a cook

The shopkeeper heard this, and exchanged glances with the man eating noodles, and both of them sighed sadly.

The shopkeeper shook his head, and sighed: "Oh, what kind of land is it that you are willing to raise your son as a daughter, and you are not forced."

The man who ate noodles pondered for a while, then turned around and whispered: "Elder, I think you are very nice, but you are just a passer-by, so let's tell you quietly."

So Zhuang Fan listened to the shopkeeper and the man and told the reason together.

But it turns out that before March, this Bhikkhu Kingdom returned to Ding Anle, who was very peaceful. Although the monarch was not an overlord who pioneered the country, he was still considered wise.

But on that day, a Taoist priest suddenly came to the bhikkhu country, with a little fairy, stepping on the auspicious clouds, descending from the sky, and landed in the imperial city, in front of the throne.

The shopkeeper of the noodle shop frowned and said with a sigh: "The Taoist priest is very handsome, with white hair and a childlike face. He is right with the king. He said that he is a real person who practiced in Tsinghua Village, Liulinpo, seventy miles south of the Bhikkhu country. He came here this time. It was watching the sky at night, and suddenly saw auspicious clouds covering our country, which is a sign that a great sage is about to come and pass by, so I came here specially to congratulate the king of our country."

Zhuang Fan frowned when he heard this, the Great Sage passing by?Could it be that you speak for yourself?But how does it involve children?

It's just that he didn't interrupt, waiting for the shopkeeper to continue talking.

The innkeeper went on to say: "The king of our country was curious and asked what kind of sage he was, who could startle the lay monks in the Qing Dynasty. The Taoist priest told the king, and he heard from the front that in the hands of the great sage, there were many sages in the hands of the Supreme Lord. The gift of elixir, the Taoist himself is fine, if the king asks for one and takes it, he will surely live a hundred years and live forever."

When Wukong heard this, he snorted coldly and didn't say anything, knowing that he was referring to his master.

The Great Sage secretly said in his heart, these monsters are too greedy, they either want to eat his master, or they want an elixir.

Zhuang Fan also laughed, and said: "Even if the great sage has an elixir, ordinary people can't take it lightly, right?"

The shopkeeper slapped his hands and said, "Oh, it can be said that we all understand this truth! But the lord of our country was so dazzled by longevity that he believed it!"

The man next to him stopped him and said: "Old brother, what you said is not true. Actually, the king didn't believe it that much, and didn't make any troubles. He just left the old Taoist priest and the little fairy in the palace. Just preaching in my spare time."

The shopkeeper hurriedly said: "Yes, yes, it was quite peaceful at first."

Zhuang Fan asked, "But what happened later? What did the Taoist do?"

The man said: "It's not what the Taoist priest did. It's the lord of our country who received the news that the lord of the Zhuzi Kingdom in the east was seriously ill a while ago and was about to die. It was the great sage who passed by and gave the king half a pill The elixir, the king took it, and he got up in a breath, full of energy, healthy, and got a great fortune, with extraordinary abilities, he even went outside the capital city, and sent a few goblins back."

The shopkeeper said: "Yes, yes, this news has been spread throughout the city. Since then, my lord has firmly believed in that Taoist priest, and that's why things have been stirred up."

Zhuang Fan and his disciples looked at each other in blank dismay when they heard this, they never thought that treating King Zhu Ziguo with gastrointestinal blockage would lead to such a big rumor?

That skinny king with no muscles in his arms went to fight a goblin?

I'm afraid he won't be caught by the goblin in the next moment...

The body clearing pill is really just body clearing.

Wukong was a little shy, and whispered to his master, "Master, it's the apprentice who is reckless."

He shouldn't be greedy to save trouble, give the mortal emperor some kind of elixir, how good it would be to get some croton balls for him to eat!

Zhuang Fan shook his head lightly, Wukong was kind, so what does it matter to him, so he asked: "The Taoist heard the news, but did he make a condition with the king?"

The man fed the last few mouthfuls of noodles to his son, wiped his baby's mouth, turned around, and said, "That's right, the Taoist said that the king of the Zhuzi Kingdom killed many of them on the spot in order to ask for this half elixir." The little servants in the palace cut out their hearts and gave them to the sage, but the sage accepted it, but because those little servants were unclean, they were not very happy, so they only gave half an elixir."

The shopkeeper shuddered, and said: "The Taoist said, if you want the sage to act generously, the lord of the country needs to find those boys with handsome faces and good health in the city, and put them in the palace to raise them well, and wait for them When a sage comes, cut out the heart on the spot, so as to please the sage, and ask him to give you more elixir!"

Hearing this, Wukong was so angry that he slapped the table and stood up. The other little ones were also so angry that they could not sit still. !"

Little did he know that he himself was trembling with anger.

The old shopkeeper also advised, "Don't get angry, don't get angry, it won't help."

He sobbed, wiped his tears with his hands, and said: "In this city, since I was young for a month, the palace has sent people to select boys from door to door, and a total of 100 people have been selected to go up. I have pity on my nephew, the only child Miaomiao in the family. , was selected, was taken away, and never came back.”

The man put his arms around his son, also feeling lingering fear, and said: "A few months ago, there were nursery rhymes in this city, which said that there are boys in the bhikkhu country, and there are many boys in the bhikkhu country, and they sing a lot. The merchants who come and go only call it the boy city. , In fact, it’s just everyone calling it in private, who knows that the demon Taoist heard this name a while ago, and he praised it, what a bhikkhu country, it really changed its name to Xiaozicheng.”

Bajie snorted and said: "Your king came here, there will be no brats in the future, let's change the ballad, I only say that there are no brats in the city, and there are little girls everywhere."

After hearing this, the shopkeeper and the man looked at each other with wry smiles and sighed, unable to argue.

The shopkeeper said again: "Elder, I saw that the little Daoist you brought is very outstanding, you should hide it for a while, if those royal clothes in the palace see it, I'm afraid it will be dragged into the palace at the wrong time, and it will be too late." I will extort some money from you!"

Wu Wang wondered: "The monks, they dare to touch? Isn't the Taoist a monk?"

The shopkeeper said alas: "It can be said that the Taoist priest really picked many novice monks to enter the palace. It is said that the Taoist priest is afraid that the great sage will dislike the filth of ordinary people. It is said that in order to keep their bodies clean, the hundred or so boys selected into the palace are now given only dew to drink every day!"

Hearing this, Zhuang Fan's lungs were about to explode, and he said yes, yes, he really used the banner as a tiger's skin, pulling my name to do bad things, and knocking blood on my head with all his strength!

It's fine to pour dirty water on me, but he still abuses children like this! ?

If he could spare this goblin today, he wouldn't have to go to the West Paradise anymore. He could become a saint in this bhikkhu country by sitting on the ground!

Really bear this breath, he is really the first holy father with a big heart that has no limits!

Wuyou snorted coldly and said, "I'm afraid that the monster is delusional. If the person who comes is really a great sage, who can gouge out people's hearts? If so, I'm afraid the person who came is a devil!"

Wu Wang also said: "Your king also believes such a big flaw?"

The man sighed and said: "The lord of our country also asked, and the Taoist said, those who practice, the boys and girls, are a great tonic, and they are not adults, and their souls are incomplete, so there is no taboo."

The master and apprentice looked at each other, speechless, not knowing where to start.

Even though they are well-informed and have never heard of it, there is such a saying.

Bajie wondered: "It's just how do you know the details here in such detail?"

The man snorted coldly, and said: "Except for the ones that are circulated in private, he is not the lord of our country. He wants to eat the elixir, but he doesn't want to bear the infamy. In a few days, he wants to spread the Taoist priest and his performances to the capital city. The door officials preach in the downtown area, so we know everything."

Hearing this, Zhuang Fan couldn't help but roll his eyes, thinking that he didn't know which one was smarter and which one was more stupid, the king or the demon.

It's just that he can be sure of one thing, that is, they are all greedy in the same way!

Zhuang Fan got up, saluted eleven, and said: "Thank you both for telling the truth!"

The shopkeeper waved his hand and said: "Oh, there is nothing to be thankful for, it's all dirty things, and it's dirty ears, besides, I don't say anything, the guests go to the main street and read the imperial list, and they don't know anything. Got it. The emperor's list is pasted on a wall along the official road, the cause and effect are all written on it, and it's not a secret."

The master and apprentice looked at each other a few times, not knowing whether it was rejoicing or chagrin.

Just because Bajie wanted to eat street food today, they wandered around the market in the middle of the afternoon, and hadn't been to the main street yet, so they didn't see Huangbang.

If he saw it, Zhuang Fan would probably lead his disciples to the palace to find the bad luck of the king and the demon.

After talking for a while, Zhuang Fan led his apprentices to resign from the shopkeeper and the father and son, opened the door and walked out, standing under the bright and clear sky, looking around, sure enough, the streets were full of little girls. There is no naughty boy.

At this time, everyone was not in the mood to go shopping, and they all told the master that they would go back. Zhuang Fan stroked these caring disciples, sighed, and said: "Tomorrow, the monk will be ashamed again."

Wukong comforted him and said: "Master, if you kill this black-hearted Taoist priest, you will kill him. If you kill him, I don't know how many people you can save."

Wu Wang wondered: "Master, you have come a long way, and you have a good image among ordinary people. Where did the Taoist priest come from this time, to ruin your reputation so much?"

Bajie snorted and said, "Senior brother, let me see, this Taoist priest is probably also some goblin."

Wu Wang clicked his tongue and said, "It's really a death! If you ruin Master's reputation so much, you won't be able to spare him tomorrow!"

Everyone chattered in unison, and they all agreed.

Zhuang Fan sighed and said with a smile: "Master was very annoyed at first, but seeing you like this makes me feel much better."

In the end, the children surrounded the master and all went back to the small courtyard of the inn.

Fortunately, the trip was safe, no one came, and Wuyou was arrested.

I think it's because the area they live in is a place where merchants flow, and there are fewer residents, so the brocade clothes in the palace ignore it.

Zhuang Fan said it was much better. After all, he was holding his breath, and when he got to the room, he sat there, thinking about it and getting angry, his hands were shaking.

Wukong persuaded: "Master, don't be angry, when you catch that goblin, you give him a good beating!"

But Zhuang Fan thought of something else, and ordered: "Wukong, I'm afraid that there are more than 100 children in the palace. They really don't give food. You go to the palace at night to find those children. If it is convenient, Just send them away first, and ask those on-duty meritorious guards to take care of them for one night, and wait for the master to enter the palace tomorrow, teach the demon way, ask the king to write an edict of guilt, and then send the children home safely !"

Wukong nodded and said, "Master, don't wait until night, I'll go now!"

Zhuang Fan saw that the sun was about to set, and said: "Don't worry, it's still early in the morning, I'm afraid there are people guarding around the children. If you go secretly at night, they won't have time to react. If you go now, I'm afraid you will call the demon Taoist." And the king found out, and they will have to toss in the middle of the night to make the whole city restless."

Wukong scratched his head and said, "Then listen to Master."

Wu Wang said: "Master, it was Bajie who went to Zhu Ziguo with the senior brother, this time ask me to follow the senior brother, I will help him."

Zhuang Fan also agreed, and only said: "Follow your senior brother, be careful in your actions, don't be reckless, and don't disturb the whole palace, so as not to startle the snake."

Wukong and Wuwang agreed together.

Wu Wang's ability is not bad, and he has become a lot more secure recently. He is not as temperamental as the naughty boy who only knew how to play when he first came to Master's side. It's perfect to give Wukong a hand.

Bajie quickly said, "Master, you have a good rest, I'll go prepare dinner."

Everyone laughed together.

Wu You said: "It's hard to say that Third Senior Brother's belly can be big or small, and he can still pretend."

Bajie laughed and said: "We don't eat, the senior brother and the second senior brother always want to eat, otherwise where would the strength come from to steal the child!"

Wukong patted him on the back of the head and said: "Brother is not hungry, but brother just made your feet hurt from walking on the street!"

Wuyou also complained: "Next time I won't go shopping with the second and third brothers! They are too lively!"

Wu Wang scratched his head and said, "Is there anything? Tired? I haven't done enough shopping today."

Bajie said: "I haven't walked enough, you are not physically strong enough!"

Zhuang Fan chuckled and said, "Succeed, all the work of purchasing in the future will be handed over to Wu Wang and Ba Jie!"

Bajie smiled and said: "Master, we only like to shop, not to buy."

Wu Wang also said: "Master, I like to bargain. If the store agrees, I will be flustered."

These two pickpockets made Zhuang Fan happy in the end.

Afterwards, there was nothing to say, and when it was past midnight, Wukong led Wuwang, and the two of them disappeared, and they rode clouds and fog to the palace of the Bhikkhu Kingdom. Looking down, they could only see the inner courtyard of the palace. But there were no lights, and it was pitch black.

Wu Wang never visited at night, and asked in a low voice: "Brother, how do we find those children?"

Wukong thought for a while and said, "It's easy to talk, let's find someone to ask!"

After finishing speaking, he looked down, and happened to have a group of maids passing by, and after a while, two more servants walked over slowly.

Wukong said: "Just ask them!" Then he changed himself and turned into a maid of honor, tall and slender, very handsome, and pulled Wuwang, saying: "Why are you staying here, change quickly, let's go down together."

Wu Wang stared at senior brother's youthful appearance, couldn't close his mouth, and said dumbfounded: "Senior brother, your voice doesn't match your appearance, I'm afraid you will scare a few people to death by making such a sound? "

Wukong made two oh-oh-ohhs, and came to his senses, squeezed his throat twice, pinched his Adam's apple back, coughed twice, and said again: "How does it sound this time?"

The voice is delicate and soft, the absolute girl did not run away!

Wu Wang gave a thumbs up and said, "High! It's really high!"

Wukong stretched out his arm and smacked him on the back of the head, saying: "Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, people are almost gone!"

Wu Wang rubbed the back of his head, it hurt a little, he couldn't help complaining: "Brother, your actions are too rough, take it away, take it away!"

Wukong then winked at him, stretched out his finger delicately, poked Wuwang's forehead delicately, and said viciously: "If you let the person go away by talking too much, I will throw you down and search the house one by one! "

Wu Wang didn't dare to entangle any more, so he quickly transformed into a figure. She was a petite girl who was slightly shorter than Wu Kong, both of them were dressed the same, holding a plate, and landed not far in front of the two little servants.

The two of them imitated the appearance of the maids from the team just now, and walked forward slowly in small steps to meet the two servants.

While walking, Wu Wang secretly asked, "Brother, what are you carrying?"

Wukong smiled and said in a low voice, "Sister, I have bath beans, how about you?"

Wu Wang clicked his tongue and said, "It's better for you, I just took out a box and put it on, let me take a look!"

He lowered his head and saw that it was the small box he used to play with. He quickly put it away and replaced it with another one. He patted his chest and said, "Oh my god, I was scared to death. If I didn't pay attention, I took out my darling!"

Wukong was curious, and said: "Your sweetheart? Shouldn't your sweetheart be in your stomach?"

Wu Wang grinned and said, "It's a treasure I've treasured since I was a child! I'll show you when I get home!"

Then whispered: "Sister, I put two bottles of face cream that Master gave, is it okay?"

Wukong could say anything, but when he saw the lights flickering at the corner in front of him, he hurriedly hissed and said, "Here we come!"

Wu Wang quickly straightened his back, lowered his head, and continued walking behind Wukong.

The two servants were looking for the value with a lantern. They didn't notice the person in front of them. They were startled by the shadow. They quickly stood still and shouted: "Where did you come from! Why are you still wandering outside at this hour? Don't die!"

Wukong hurriedly pretended to be flustered, but pretended to be calm, and said: "The servants are sent out to deliver things, and they accidentally went the wrong way, and they didn't wander around!"

Seeing that it was a woman's voice, the two servants were relieved a little, and came over to light up the lanterns to see that it was indeed two palace maids, one in front and one behind, both holding plates in their hands.

Then they patted their chests and said, "People are scary, why don't you light up lanterns when you come out at night? Where are you going with this thing?"

Wukong paused, and said: "I'm the one who came up to serve on His Majesty's side recently, and was sent out by my sisters to deliver some bath beans for cleansing and facial cleanser to those one hundred children, but I'm not familiar with the way. It just went astray."

Those two little servants were not very old, and in winter, night patrols were hard work, and other veterans quit, so they were thrown to them. Hearing this, he couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, and said: "I will send you all at night." It's not a good job to come out. Where did you offend someone, or didn't you give your sisters some gifts?"

Wukong hurriedly said: "It's no different than my brothers, both of us sisters were born in poverty, and we sent them here because our families couldn't make ends meet. Where did the money come from?"

When the two servants heard this, they felt sorry for each other, and said: "Well, they are all of ordinary background, so who can be better than the other?"

Seeing Wukong, he said: "Please guide the way, two brothers, where have we gone? Where should we go?"

The two little servants said: "You just went the wrong way. Those children live in the Lengcui Pavilion in the northwest. This is the southeast of the imperial palace. If you go any further, you will have to go out!"

Wukong recited the location and the name of the palace silently, remembering it in his heart, and said: "Thank you two brothers for showing the way, we will leave now, if we are late, we may go back and be scolded!"

The two said: "Let's go, be careful on the road, don't go in the dark! It's so cold, send it there early, go back and rest early!"

Wukong and Wuwang Qiqi agreed crisply, "Hey!"

When the two servants were far away, the two hurriedly put away their things, turned back into shape, flew into the air, and went straight to Lengcui Pavilion in the northwest corner of the palace.

Wu Wang said: "Brother, these two people are very kind, I thought they would arrest us and beat them up."

Wukong said: "The two of them are just looking for value, not the imperial guards patrolling the night, how to arrest people. Besides, they both came from bitter backgrounds."

Wu Wang listened, sighed, and fell silent.

When they reached the west side of the palace, the two of them started looking for someone, but the Lengcui Pavilion was not easy to find, because there was no one living in the west side of the palace, it was a big palace, there was no lamp, the whole place was dark Painted.

In addition, in the middle of the night, no one is moving around, and it is even more difficult to find.

Wukong and Wuwang searched for about ten minutes before they saw the three characters "Lengcui Pavilion" on the plaque of a very remote and hidden palace gate.

Wu Wang said in surprise: "Brother, it's here!"

Wukong hissed, led his junior to jump over the palace wall, and walked in, only to see that the Lengcui Pavilion is closed everywhere, and the door is tightened. The sound of breathing, and the sound of a small suppressed child sobbing.

Wukong said softly: "It seems that this is the place."

Wu Wang asked in a low voice: "Brother, there are too many children here, I'm afraid there are a few living in each room, they are small and weak, how can we quietly take them away?"

Wukong said: "That's easy, don't worry, I'll go and see if there is anyone guarding around here, you stay here and don't move yet."

After all, the master told them to act quietly and be careful not to disturb the king and the demon.

Wu Wang nodded, squatting on the porch by himself, watching the senior brother take a few strides before disappearing into the dark night.

After waiting for only a moment, Wukong came back and said in a low voice: "I looked up and down, only in the side room over there, there were a few old eunuchs covering the windows with quilts, lighting the lamps, and drinking and having fun there. Outside, there is no one else, and there is no army guarding it."

They thought it was a few children, who were young and almost collapsed from hunger, so it was not worth sending a lot of people to watch them.

Wu Wang asked, "Then what did you do to them?"

In the dark night, Wukong's eyes sparkled, the Great Sage smiled slightly, and said: "What can I do, a few sleepy ones will go down, and I won't be able to wake up until tomorrow. My old grandson is kind, and I'm afraid they will accidentally overturn it." The oil lamp caught fire, so I extinguished the lamp for them!"

Wu Wang stretched out another thumb and said, "Brother, you are awesome!"

The monkey giggled, scratched the back of his head, and said, "Everything else is settled, let's get the child out now!"

Wu Wang was worried again: "There are hundreds of children, we only have two, how can we live?"

Wukong said with a wicked smile: "You and I don't need it, just watch!"

Then he went up into the air again, twirled the tactic, read the mantra, and immediately arrested the local city gods, land, kitchen king and other small gods, as well as the westbound five-way Jiedi, four-value meritorious service, six Ding Liujia and the guardian Teach Jialan and others.

These little gods appeared together, they all went to the sky, saluted him and said: "Great Sage, what's the hurry to call us at night?"

That's all for the local gods, but the accompanying Jiedi Gongcao and Ding Jiajialan were very happy, with a little joy on their faces.

Probably because as long as the holy monks, masters and disciples can use them, they will be rewarded later, not to mention the benefits that are not visible for the time being, it is the elixir, if you get one bottle or two, they poor gods, they can be regarded as good people. Got rich overnight!

Wukong was pointed out by Zhuang Fan, so he didn't know what they were thinking, so he was not polite, and said openly: "Probably because my master and apprentice came to this bhikkhu country today, and they heard that there was a demon in front of the bhikkhu country. , using my master's name as a cover, detained more than a hundred boys in this deep palace compound, deprived them of food, prepared their bodies and gouged out their hearts. My master is compassionate, how can I bear to see such a tragedy in the world, want to Go to destroy the demon way and put things right, just worried that these children will get sick after starving for a long time, so I sent my old grandson to rescue them."

The great sage pointed to the dark and silent Lengcui Pavilion below, and said: "My lords, there are more than a hundred children in this hall. My old grandson has invited you here, and I hope that you can use your magical powers and bring them together." These children quietly went out of the city one by one, and found a place to settle down for a day or two, and slowly gave some food to stop the hunger in the children's belly. Just send the child back!"

Wukong said again: "There are more than a hundred children, it is not an easy job, thank you for your hard work!"

All the gods said one after another: "This is easy, it's so hard! Don't worry about it, the Great Sage, we will make arrangements for it properly!"

Seeing that they were gearing up, Wukong seemed to be preparing for a big fight, and he instructed: "They have been hungry for a long time, so they need to eat slowly. If they eat too fast, they may hurt their spleen and stomach, and children from small families, I have never seen anything in the world, and I hope you will protect them, so as not to shock them."

All the people praised in unison: "As expected of a saintly monk, the great saint has a compassionate heart!"

Wukong thanked again, took off the storage beads, and personally presented the thank you gift.

This was prepared by Zhuang Fan for his disciples a long time ago. There were a hundred or eighty purses in it, all of which were filled with jade bottle elixir, but there were not so many, each got one or two pills.

Except for these elixirs as thank-you gifts, most of the elixirs that Guanyin gave to Zhuang Fan are with monkeys, because monkeys always have to run errands, and Zhuang Fan is worried that when he is not in front of his eyes, he will suffer if he does not see it. Therefore, I only kept a small part of the elixir in my body, and gave the big ones to the big apprentice.

Wukong took out the elixir to give thanks, and these little gods became more and more happy. After the ceremony, all the gods came to this Lengcui Pavilion, and quietly locked the door, turning into three or five parts, and one person was divided. The children lifted off quietly in their arms, went out of the city overnight, and went to find a place to settle down.

The strange thing was that those children were obviously still awake, but they didn't cry and screamed. They just hugged them and left obediently.

After a while, after walking away cleanly, Wuwang saw that the little gods couldn't see the shadows anymore, and said with a smile: "Brother, we spent a lot of money this time!"

Wukong said with a smile: "It's nothing, this elixir is easy for us to get, it's all given by the old man of the Taishang Laojun for nothing!"

Wu Wang said, "Then do we need to thank him later?"

Wukong cast a spell to lock the door again, while rubbing his chin, he said, "I want to go to Tushita Palace to thank him, and by the way, make amends for the past, I'm afraid the old man won't let me in!"

Wu Wang heard it, couldn't stop laughing, turned into a little boy, lay on Wu Kong's back, and said in a low voice, "Brother, carry me back!"

Wukong laughed and said: "You look like a rascal, be careful when someone comes later, they will catch you and present you to Master tomorrow!"

Wu Wang put his arms around the elder brother's neck, humming and chirping: "I'm sleepy, brother, hurry up, let's go back to sleep after finishing it."

Wukong closed the last door and locked the palace door tightly from the inside. Then he stepped on the somersault cloud and rose into the sky, saying: "Sleep, it's done, brother will carry you home."

Wu Wang choked up behind Wu Kong's back, very relieved.

Wukong hurried on his back with his junior brother on his back, and flew back to the inn, when he landed, he saw a gleam of light from the kitchen, and the master's figure was reflected on the window lattice.

The lights in the bedroom were dark, presumably Bajie and Wuyou were already sound asleep.

Wukong turned to Wuwang and said, "We're home, Master is waiting for us under the kitchen, are you going to sleep, or go to see Master?"

Wu Wang yawned and said without hesitation, "Look for Master!"

Wukong smiled and walked towards the kitchen without stopping.

Zhuang Fan had heard the movement a long time ago, and was pushing the door, seeing Wukong carrying a man on his back, he wondered: "Why did you bring a child back?"

Wu Wang poked his head out behind the elder brother, and said with a smile, "Master, it's me!"

Zhuang Fan just laughed, saw him yawning, and said: "Master made you supper, did you eat and sleep, or just go to sleep?"

Wu Wang said, "I want to eat!"

Wukong put him on the stool by the dining table, pinched his nose and said, "Go wash your face and refresh yourself, or be careful to eat it in your nose later!"

Wu Wang said: "I have to yawn at this hour, it's a habit, not really sleepy."

Wukong said: "You're the only one with a lot of nonsense!" Still, he brought the bowls and chopsticks to Wuwang.

Zhuang Fan was afraid that they would eat too much and sleep at night, so he only cooked two bowls of small wontons. The soup was too much and the wontons were small. I also feel very comfortable.

After the children had finished eating, Zhuang Fan was going to pick up the bowls and clean up. Wukong and Wukong didn't let go, so Zhuang Fan sat down, watched the two brothers wash the dishes, and asked, "How's the matter?"

Wukong said: "I sent them all away! No one was left behind, and I didn't make a fuss about it. I'm afraid no one will find out before breakfast tomorrow." But after telling the story, it was the cause of the thank you gift. forgot to say.

Zhuang Fan listened and nodded, his face couldn't help showing approval, and said: "That's good. If that's the case, let's go to see the king early tomorrow, clean up the monster, and then make plans."

He asked again: "Wukong, have you talked to the land here, did you ask where the demon way came from? Is it a human or a demon?"

Wukong was stunned, and said: "But I didn't ask, how come Master didn't know this time? Didn't the Bodhisattva come?"

Zhuang Fan shook his head and said: "The Bodhisattva hasn't come for a long time. Although Master knows a thing or two about the identity of this demon, I'm afraid it's not clear. I always feel that we came too early, and the identity of the demon may change."

The White Deer, the Antarctic Immortal, can come in such a timely manner?

Wukong said: "Why don't you just go and ask?"

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Why is this so urgent? If you didn't ask, you didn't ask. If you ask, we won't beat him up tomorrow?"

Wukong and Wuwang laughed together, and said: "That's impossible! If he's going to gouge out his heart and eat it himself, let's just forget about it and beat him up. Seeing that he hasn't come here to kill and kill, maybe he's still alive." I can put him a yard, but this guy actually ruined Master's reputation, I really can't bear it!"

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Go wash up, get some rest early, and follow Master to clean up the bad guys tomorrow!"

After hearing this, the two monkeys smiled and ran away hand in hand.

Nothing happened in the middle of the night, and early the next morning, Zhuang Fan dressed up again, wearing a brocade cassock, wearing a gold-topped Pilu hat, stepping on monk shoes, leaning on a tin staff with nine rings, and holding a customs clearance document in his sleeve, ready to go to collect demons. By the way, ask the king to stamp the seal.

Wukong and the others looked at Master's attire, and always felt that something was weird. After a final thought, they all said together: "Master, really, let's shave our beards!"

Zhuang Fan just remembered that he forgot to shave his head and face yesterday!

He took out a mirror from his sleeve and looked at it, and saw a black-faced and bearded man inside, with sharp brows and majestic eyes, his beard covered half of his face, he couldn't see beauty or ugliness, but felt very vicious, and couldn't help himself He laughed loudly, and said: "Master, isn't he very unworthy of this brocade cassock?"

All the little ones nodded in unison, it turned out that the master had a fair complexion, no beard, wearing this red cassock, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, looking amiable and deceitful at the same time.

Now, how should I put it, there is always a feeling of "putting down the butcher knife and becoming a Buddha".

All in all, not like a nice guy.

Zhuang Fan put the mirror back and said, "That's it! Master is leading you to scare people!"

All the little ones sighed together, and went out with Zhuang Fan.

As he was approaching the gate of the courtyard, Zhuang Fan suddenly remembered, turned around and said, "Wu You better not go."

Wuyou was so angry that he folded his arms and said angrily, "Why can't I go!"

Zhuang Fan blinked, and said: "If you really want to go, Daddy will bring you a new set of clothes bought for Nao Nao, and you can wear them before you go?"

The other three knew that the master was teasing the younger brother, and they all suppressed their laughter. Only Wuyou took it seriously, frowned, and thought about it seriously, and said with difficulty: "If you can take me to see the fun, You can't even wear a skirt!"

Zhuang Fan said: "I see a little girl who draws on her eyebrows, puts on red, and paints on her lips, can you do that too?"

Wuyou snorted and said: "If there is anything wrong, they can do it, so can I!"

Everyone couldn't bear it any longer, they all burst into laughter, and Wuyou came to his senses, threw himself into Zhuang Fan's arms, and said, "Daddy is dead!"

Zhuang Fan laughed loudly, carried his youngest son, hugged him in his arms, led his disciples, went out, and went straight to the palace.

When they arrived outside the Wuchao gate, those who were familiar with the door and the way went to find the officials of the Huangmen, notified their names, explained their intentions, and asked to see the king.

Hearing that it was an eminent monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, the official of the Huangmen didn't dare to delay, so he hurried in to report.

After the king heard this, the Taoist priest who was discussing Taoism with him was overjoyed and said, "Oh, congratulations, Your Majesty, the great sage has arrived, and your Majesty's long life is in sight! Congratulations!"

Hearing this, the king was very pleasantly surprised, and said, "Since the great sage has arrived, does the lonely king need to go out to greet him?"

The Yaodao hurriedly stopped him and said: "Your Majesty, there is no need to do this. Although we wanted to beg him, he didn't know that now he is asking us to switch Guan Wen. If Your Majesty is going to be a lowly man at this time, we will wait until later." Begging, wouldn't he want the lion to open his mouth, so what should His Majesty do?"

The king made the monster faint, stroked his beard and said: "The elder fairy is right!"

So he ordered: "There is a holy monk who invited Datang!"

The Huangmen officer turned around and invited Zhuang Fan and his disciples to enter.

Zhuang Fan walked all the way, not in a hurry, Wukong followed behind the master, his eyes looked into the hall, he couldn't see clearly, but under the golden light of the dragon aura, there was another dark aura rushing, so he whispered He said to his master, "Master, I'm afraid there are indeed demons here!"

Zhuang Fan nodded and led his disciples into the main hall.

Looking up, I saw the two people in the palace, one king, young, weak in appearance, and fair in spirit, and there was nothing unusual about it.

There is another Taoist priest with a fair and rosy complexion, a long beard, majestic, golden eyes and long eyes, and his appearance is not like ordinary people. He wears a gauze scarf and a crane cloak.
