Tang Seng is a cook

But Wukong said goodbye to his master and younger brother, and came straight to the heaven with the leopard spirit on his back, wanting to find Taibaijinxing.

In the Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor and the Buddha saw them, and they both had expressions of relief. The Buddha said: "Look, my apprentice, whoever comes to look for you now, just leaves me alone. A Buddhist disciple."

The Jade Emperor squinted his eyes and said happily: "Come on, now Wukong has abandoned the Tao and became a member of your Buddhist school. I just followed you around for a while, and in the end, the big head is still yours!"

The Buddha snorted at him and said, "I won't let you rub, but you can do it too!"

The Jade Emperor stroked his beard, didn't answer his words, and sighed, "This Sha Wujing, I really can't help him, I wanted to make him a demon king, and gather the surviving little demons in the mortal world. This is a chance for the human race to coexist with the human race. If this happens, the merits and virtues will be no worse than those who followed Tang Sanzang to the west, but who knows that he can't hold it, alas..."

The Buddha said: "If your heart is not right, no matter how much you, the Jade Emperor, support him, it will be of no use. If he doesn't go on the right path, what can you do?"

The Jade Emperor sighed, and said, "Oh, I'm taking care of him, after all, I've been with me for so many years, so I don't think..."

The Buddha rolled his eyes and said, "I've been with you for so many years, and you're still torturing him so much after he's gone to hell?"

The Jade Emperor heard this, and said angrily: "The glazed cup he smashed is the beloved thing of the empress, and the empress is watching there. How dare I not punish him! I told him to make a small mistake at the beginning, but who knew he would Trick me in a blink of an eye, if I don't torment him, it will be the empress' turn to torment me!"

After hearing this, the Buddha laughed a few times, and decided not to get involved in these household chores. He just said: "Sha Wujing is not going to be successful now, and he has to be replaced by a demon king. Who will be the right one?"

The Jade Emperor rubbed his temples and said: "I don't have any suitable candidates here. Sha Wujing has been teaching by my side for many years, and he is not afraid to handle government affairs. If he is like this, I can't choose another one." Here we come, alas!"

The Buddha said, "Then what should we do? We can't let the Huangfengling stall be abandoned. After all, we have been in business for more than a year. Not to mention small scale, at least we have a foundation. It's a pity to let go like this!"

The Jade Emperor sighed again, and said, "Oh, what can we do! Otherwise, we should first select a few able ones from the goblins, big and small, and divide and conquer them. When there are suitable candidates, we can allocate them to you." ?”

The Buddha nodded and said, "This is the only way to go now!"

After discussing this, there was no other way, so the Jade Emperor summoned the Dharma Protector God to pass the decree to Huangfengling, and ordered the heavenly soldiers and generals to bring Sha Wujing back to the heavenly court for trial.

To judge Sha Wujing, the Jade Emperor will have to wait until the end of his westward journey to see how the Heavenly Dao will deal with him.

After finishing the treatment on the other end, the Buddha pushed aside the clouds, looked down, and sighed: "Oh, this Tang Sanzang has finally arrived in the outer county of Tianzhu, and there is not much left for the journey!"

The Jade Emperor said, "There are no other capable goblins left, right?"

The Buddha pinched his fingers and calculated, and said: "There is a little lion from Tianzun's family who saves suffering from Taiyi, who is capable of fighting, and there is a little rabbit from Chang'e's family. There is nothing else to praise. A few thousand-year-old little rhinos , Wukong can clean it up at will.”

The Jade Emperor nodded in satisfaction and said, "Look at it this way, will they be able to arrive in the Lower Realm this winter?"

The Buddha smiled and said: "If you don't delay on the way, maybe you will be faster!"

But he took a look and said: "Tsk, the next stop, they are going to Fengxian County, Great Tianzhu Kingdom, this time, are you still going to trouble that Shangguan County Marquis?"

The Jade Emperor snorted and said, "He hasn't caused any trouble yet, what am I going to do with him!"

He shook his clothes, and said: "This time the monkey has a lot of good things in his hands, and he told his master to teach that wild goose to be too plucking. If I still set up such a mountain of rice, I'm afraid I will call that little skin right away." The monkey was taken away!"

The Buddha laughed and said, "You should still worry about your big golden lock, that one is made of pure gold!"

The Jade Emperor clicked his tongue and said, "That's not true! You still have experience!"

He poked his head over and asked mysteriously: "The last time you went to stop that peacock, did you give the little monkey something nice?"

The Buddha couldn't help shivering when he thought of this, and said: "What, I'm so scared, it's good to be able to come back safely!"

The Jade Emperor patted the Buddha's shoulder empathetically, and said: "Monk, don't be afraid, just persevere, and after learning the scriptures, we will have a good life for a while!"

The two were talking, Taibaijinxing came.

When the Jade Emperor saw him, his face was filled with joy, and he called out, "Jin Xing is here to speak."

Taibai Jinxing greeted the Jade Emperor and the Buddha, sat in front of the Jade Emperor, and said with a bitter face, "Your Majesty is beaming with joy, just looking at it, there will be a happy event, and I will be so worried!"

The Buddha laughed and said, "Mochou, your house is so big, why can't you afford to raise a little leopard? Anyway, now you are in the lower world, if you want to ride a tiger, you can ride a tiger, and if you want to ride a leopard, you can ride a leopard! Who can have your prestige?" !"

Taibai Jinxing said with a sad face: "The Buddha is joking!"

Turning around and complaining to the Jade Emperor: "Your Majesty, my place was originally quiet and quiet, but the tiger in the Yellow Wind Cave went there, and it didn't stop. This time, the monkey sent a leopard again. I really can't afford it anymore. ! It's a short life!"

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha laughed loudly and said, "Why is this so!"

Taibai Jinxing's bitter gourd face almost wrung out the juice, and said angrily: "Your Majesty and the Buddha have not heard that there is a saying that there is no room for two tigers on one mountain, unless one male and one female. Now, in my minister's place, both tigers and leopards are male. How can they not fight together! One is strong and the other is fast! Where there is a fight, it is like demolishing a house!"

Laughing at the Jade Emperor and the Buddha for a long time, the Jade Emperor wiped away his tears and said, "Oh, thank you for your hard work!"

The Buddha also said: "Jin Xing, there is no way to do this. Huangfengling is leaderless now, and the Jade Emperor and I don't dare to send these big monsters who have been called kings in various places, lest they have no one to control them there. , I’m going to make a mess, but fortunately, after this, there are not many people who can throw it at you, so you bear it first, how about bearing it?”

Taibai Jinxing didn't know about Sha Wujing's death, he heard the words and wondered: "How come the Yellow Wind Cave Demon King Sha Wujing quit?"

The Jade Emperor coughed and said, "Something went wrong with him, and now he can no longer be that demon king. It's just that Buddha and I don't have any good candidates at the moment, and we are also worried about this matter!"

The Buddha suddenly said: "I don't know if Jin Xing has any good candidates to recommend?"

The Jade Emperor heard this, his eyes lit up, and said: "That's true, Jin Xing, you are always running around and know many people, just think about it, what is just right, you can go to the Yellow Wind Cave, Be this demon king?"

After hearing this, Taibai Jinxing groaned secretly in his heart, saying that it was unnecessary for him to make this trip to complain, this was simply the rhythm of door-to-door solicitation, but he did not dare to shirk, stroked his beard, thought for a while and said: "This is a big deal , I dare not jump to conclusions, how about this, I will go back and do a survey, make a list, and give a memorial to His Majesty later, how about it?"

The Jade Emperor smiled and said: "There is no need to be so formal, but Jin Xing has a good heart, so let's do it like this!"

In the end, when Taibai Jinxing came out of Lingxiao Palace, not only did he not push the tiger and leopard out, but he caused trouble for himself, he was out of breath and angry, so he had to leave dejectedly.

Wukong didn't know what was going on here, and after throwing the leopard to Taibai Jinxing, he felt that nothing had happened, so he rushed to Chang'an happily.

Hongye and Zhenyuan, two old gods who have lived for tens of thousands of years, have no shortage of treasures on their bodies, but Hongye was reminded by Zhuang Fan after all, and did not dare to take out those thousand-year-old spirit treasures to wander around in the mortal world. In the end, it was Zhenyuan. , raised many apprentices, got real money, bought a big house in Chang'an City, and this big family finally lived here.

When Wukong arrived, it was just in time for Hongye Zhenyuan to lead the children to have dinner. Many people sat around a table. Only the Dragon Girl Iron Fan and Honghaier were away. Honghaier was going to study in the academy and rarely came back on weekdays. , Dragon Girl and Iron Fan probably went to play somewhere again.

Bajie and Wuyou had already finished eating, and they were dawdling on the table. When they saw Wukong coming, they were all overjoyed. The little fat pig jumped straight into Wukong's arms from the stool, and said, "Daddy!" Brother, you are here!!"

That Wuyou also jumped out of his brother's arms, and ran over to hug Wukong's thigh.

Wukong bent down and hugged Wuyou, looked at Bajie and said strangely: "Pangpang can talk, he has improved in the past few days!"

Bajie is suffering!Bajie choked up and wanted to cry!His elder brother doesn't know what he has been tossed into in Chang'an these few days!

Hongye greeted: "Have Wukong eaten, come over to eat together, don't leave, stay here for ten days and then go back!"

Zhenyuan was feeding Nao Nao with his arms in his arms, when he heard the words: "Wu Kong comes to eat first, Hong Ye, don't mess around, they have to go west, it's okay to delay the child for a day or two, half a month and half a month's delay , like what, the earlier they arrive at Lingshan, the sooner they can come back!"

Wukong greeted everyone one by one, sat down and said: "Yeah, brother, I'm going to leave now. When I came, the master told me to go back earlier."

Hongye glared at Zhenyuan, ignored him, and only said to Wukong: "Where have you been with your master? Are you going to Lingshan soon?"

Wukong said: "Well, it should be. When I left just now, I glanced down, and now I'm almost in the foreign county of Tianzhu!"

Hongye said happily: "That's it! Don't delay in the future, go and come back early!"

Zhen Yuan said: "Come eat first, don't just talk!"

Wukong smiled and said: "No, no, I'm full!" Then he asked Bajie and Wuyou, "Are you two full?"

With a shy belly, Bajie said, "It's full, it's full!"

Wuyou also said, "I'm all overwhelmed!"

Wukong heard this, smiled and said to Hongye: "Brother, how good is your food, I'm holding these two, and I'm getting fat!"

When Mu Zha heard that his younger brother was about to leave, he moved a stool and sat down and said, "It's not just the two of them, I've been here for two days and I feel like I've gained a lot of flesh!"

He took the younger brother in Wukong's arms, and said, "Let's go now? Let's play with brother one more night!"

Wuyou pushed him and said: "No, I miss my dad, I want to go home!"

Everyone laughed together, and Mu Zha couldn't laugh or cry, and said, "Let's go, brother will take you back to Tianwang Mansion!"

Wu You hurriedly ran to the senior brother, and shouted: "Big brother, save me!"

Wukong took the little junior brother over and said, "Don't worry, senior brother is here!"

Mu Zha lamented: "My younger brother, from inside to outside, belongs to your family!"

At this time, Nao Nao was full, so Zhen Yuan wiped Nao Nao's mouth, not telling her, who was covered in rice soup and vegetable juices, to pounce on Wukong, and said, "Why are you so anxious? Let's have a meal and not delay things." .”

Hong Ye smiled and said: "You don't know, if the children come out, the uncle will definitely leave them a meal at night, these few are in a hurry to go home for the second wave!"

Wukong made a face at the chubby girl in Zhenyuan's arms, and said, "It's been a while since I've been here. The weather in Chang'an is noisy, but is she used to it? I remember that she was still a little unhappy when I came here last time. "

Zhen Yuan said: "The weather is not bad, but the old mother is far away, those days are a bit crying, and everything else is fine!"

Wukong threw a storage bag into Nao Nao's arms, and said: "Just now I went to Heaven, I got it from Taibai Jinxing, let Nao Nao play with it!"

Hong Ye hurriedly said, "Just keep it for yourself, and you should also save some money, don't be so loose!"

Wukong grinned and said, "It's all food, drink and some gadgets, they're not too expensive, just for fun!"

Several people got together and chatted for a while, Wukong flew away with Bajie and Wuyou in his arms.

Mu Zha sent his younger brother away very disappointed, and when Longnu and Iron Fan came back, he took his younger brothers and sisters, bid farewell to Hongye's family, and returned to Zizhu Forest in the South China Sea.

Hong Ye sighed, and said: "After two days of excitement, they all left again."

Zhen Yuan said: "Don't worry, the holy monks will be back soon!"

Hong Ye said: "Even if they go back to Chang'an, they won't be able to live in this mortal world when they get the fruit."

After speaking, he sighed and carried his daughter back to the house.

Don't talk about them, just talk about Wukong, holding two juniors in his arms, he crossed the hidden mist mountain where the leopard was caught in an instant, and went all the way west, only looking at the thickest part of the auspicious clouds, and he found the master and junior.

Wukong hugged Bajie and Wuyou and said with a smile: "It is much easier to find Master now than before. The auspicious clouds above Master are brighter than the candles in the dark night!"

Bajie wondered: "Hey, senior brother, I can actually see some omens of auspicious clouds!"

Wu You said: "It seems that the sufferings of the third senior brother these days are not in vain!"

Wukong was very surprised, and said: "Why is Bajie being urged to practice at Brother Hongye's place?"

Bajie covered his face with the chubby hoof, not wanting to speak.

Wuyou grinned and said, "Elder brother, don't ask, anyway, when I get to daddy later, I always have to talk about it."

Wukong landed on the cloud head, tiptoed to the ground, and landed firmly in front of the wooden house.

Caramel Cake hadn't slept yet, and was poking his head out to look out. He saw the three of them, and quickly yelled twice.

Wuyou jumped out of the arms of the elder brother, ran over to touch it on tiptoe, and said, "I'm not here, are you very good?"

Caramel Cake snorted and gave Wuyou a few slaps. Wukong opened the door and called out, "Don't get bored, you two, come in, tomorrow is enough to talk!"

Wu You hurriedly said: "Bye bye, caramel cake, see you tomorrow!" Then he ran over, slipped under the elder brother's arm, and yelled, "Daddy, Daddy! I'm back!"

Zhuang Fan was cleaning up with Wu Wang under the kitchen, saying that they were together, but Wu Wang, the three-headed figure, would only put his arms around his master's arm and act coquettishly. Most of the work was done by Zhuang Fan himself.

Wu You yelled outside, Wu Wang heard it, and quickly transformed into the little novice monk in green clothes, sitting upright beside the master, with his arms retracted, his bones straightened, and he stopped acting coquettishly.

Zhuang Fan couldn't help laughing, stretched out his hand and nodded, and said: "It will make trouble!"

At this time, Wuyou had already found him. As soon as he saw Wuwang, he jumped on him first, and said very obediently: "Second senior brother! I miss you so much!"

Wu Wang immediately caught the little fat man like a good brother, kissed him and said, "Oh, so good! I killed my brother! You are so fat!"

Wuyou grinned and refused to tell Wuwang to poke his chubby belly, and rubbed against Zhuang Fan again, saying, "Daddy, do you miss me?"

Zhuang Fan happened to clean the last bowl, put it there to control the water, wiped his hands, picked up his youngest son, and said, "Well, I miss this fat baby so much! Show daddy, oh, but I really gained a lot of weight!"

He asked again, "Where are the senior brother and the third senior brother?"

At this time Wukong also came in with Bajie in his arms, the small kitchen was crowded, Zhuang Fan asked, "Have you eaten tonight? Master still has food in the pot!"

Bajie hurriedly said: "Master, I ate with my junior brother, and my senior brother hasn't had dinner yet!"

Wukong said: "Master, I'm not hungry either. Just now at Taibai Jinxing's place, I ate a lot of fruit and my stomach is full!"

He stretched out his hand and brought out a large plate of fairy peaches, which were bright red and fragrant, and the monkey smiled and said, "I'll bring some back!"

Zhuang Fan shook his head and said, "Why are you still eating and taking?" He asked again, "Have you left it for Hongye and the others?"

Wukong nodded and said: "When I came out, the Queen Mother gave me some things, including another plate of peaches, and asked me to keep them for Nao Nao!"

Zhuang Fan took the peaches and washed them, and said: "It's very good, why did the Queen Mother give you something? What did you say?"

Wukong scratched his head and said: "I don't know either. The person who delivered the things didn't say anything. I asked the little fairy if there was something wrong, but she dropped her things and ran away! I was in a hurry to come back, so I didn't go." Chase!"

The monkey asked, "Master, tell me, what does the Queen Mother mean?"

Zhuang Fan thought for a while and said: "Maybe it's a gesture of favor, guessing is useless!" After thinking about it, he said, "Could it be that you were too aggressive at the time and scared the girl away?"

Wukong put on a smiling face and said, "Master, that's how I looked at that time!"

All the juniors came to watch, everyone shook, and said in unison: "Brother, your smile is so fake!"

After the peaches were washed, the monkeys rushed straight to the living room, sitting around and eating the peaches.

Wukong was very depressed, and said: "Master, I really laughed so fakely?"

Zhuang Fan couldn't help laughing, and said: "Don't listen to their nonsense, there is no such thing! Maybe it's just nothing."

Wukong scratched his head, seeing what Master said, he stopped guessing and concentrated on eating peaches.

The master and apprentice reunited and talked together for a long time.

The next day we continued on our way, and all the younger brothers came back. Wu Wang became the prudent and reliable second brother again, and he no longer acted like a baby with his master, but Zhuang Fan felt sorry for him. Every now and then, I have to bring vegetables to Xiaobailong.

The children knew the master's temperament, so they just secretly laughed and didn't ask, which made Wu Wang very embarrassed.

The spring is still good, and there are occasional spring rains. The master and the disciples have magical powers to protect themselves, and they don't stop their steps.

On the day we arrived, it happened to catch up with a spring rain. The rain was quite heavy, and the few pedestrians on the road were also in a hurry.

Zhuang Fan was riding on the horse, his body was not wet at all, he turned around and looked at the farmland beside the road, dazed.

Wukong was more careful, seeing that Master suddenly pulled the rein to slow down his pace, he came over and said, "Master, what's wrong?"

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said to himself that he had seen the miserable situation of the people living in poverty for three years in the Wuji Kingdom. If the Marquis of Shangguan really offended the Jade Emperor in Fengxian County, wouldn't it be another three years of drought? disaster?

Seeing the concern in the monkey's eyes, he thought for a while and said, "Maybe there is something bad going on here, Master is just hesitating, should I remind him or not?"

The monkey said: "A disaster? Master, I wonder if it is a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?"

Zhuang Fan thought for a while and said, "It must be a natural disaster caused by man-made disasters!"

The monkey's eyes rolled, and he said with a tacit understanding, "That's what the master said, and my grandson will know it, but which god has offended the king of this land?"

Zhuang Fan nodded and said: "It's not the king, this place is a county in the Great Tianzhu Kingdom, and there is only one county marquis in it!"

Wukong leaned over and asked in a low voice: "I just don't know, who will he offend?"

Zhuang Fan said: "This matter hasn't happened yet, so it's hard for Master to say it, otherwise, if he has been wary of what I said in his heart, ignored other things, and offended Biexian Buddha, wouldn't it be even worse!"

Monkey hummed, rubbed his chin, and said, "That's exactly what Master said!"

After thinking for a while, Wukong persuaded again: "Master, you always said that you shed tears after reading the Three Kingdoms, and you don't have to worry about the ancients. Why are you worrying about things that didn't happen now? If you really want to worry so much Go down, I'm afraid there will be no end!"

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "That's right, what Wukong said makes sense!"

The monkey grinned and said, "Master, I know that what I said is in vain. Otherwise, you have to change Guan Wen anyway. Why don't you persuade the magistrate to be careful in his words and deeds, and tell him not to disrespect the gods?" , isn’t it all right?”

Zhuang Fan sighed: "That's the only way!"

It’s not good to go up and tell others that you will push the tribute to the Jade Emperor and feed it to the dog because of the quarrel with your wife in the future, so the Jade Emperor will be angry and punish you for three years of local drought, right?

No matter how powerful their masters and apprentices are, if they say so, they will probably be kicked out with sticks on the spot!
