Tang Seng is a cook

In the depths of Yaochi, the Queen Mother was lying on the couch, her eyes were closed, and she was taking a nap. The little fairy who had just gone to deliver something to the Great Sage ran back cheerfully, lying beside the couch, and said softly and cheerfully: "My Lady, I have already delivered the things to the Great Sage. It's over!"

The Queen Mother still closed her eyes, and asked with a hum, "The monkey didn't ask anything, did it?"

The little fairy patted her chest, stuck out her tongue, and said with lingering fear, "Ask, ask, I almost couldn't help but say it! Fortunately, I reacted quickly and ran away!"

The Queen Mother opened her almond eyes slightly, revealing a little starlight, and said with a smile on her lips: "What are you afraid of, the little monkey is taught by his master now, he is quite sensible, and he no longer has the rude and bad temper he used to have."

The little fairy leaned on her chin and said happily: "I'm not worried that my mouth is not strict, and I accidentally talk too much!"

She leaned over and said in a low voice: "However, empress, why didn't you tell Sun Wukong the reason why you gave him the things? After all, he sued the Bodhisattva and made the Bodhisattva catch Sha Wujing's shortcomings! Even if you thank him , it’s no big deal.”

The Queen Mother raised her chin and lazily said: "Bring me a glass of water!" Then she said, "What are you talking about, tell me, I won't make people laugh at me for being stingy!"

The little fairy hurriedly went to hold the glazed cup, which was filled with amber honey water. The Queen Mother held it in her hand, took a sip, looked at the glass and sighed: "It's not as good as the original one!"

The little fairy curled her lips and said: "That glazed cup was formed when the sky was burnt and the earth was condensed at the beginning of the creation of the world. It can't be compared with other ones!"

The Queen Mother sighed, and said: "If it is comparable, it will be broken!"

The little fairy got angry when she mentioned this, and said: "I don't believe it, that glazed cup is the treasure of the ancient fairy spirits, and it would be broken so easily by the rolling curtain general? The reason! His Majesty favors him, and he is not willing to punish him severely!"

The Queen Mother snorted coldly, and said: "If you don't get punished, you make mistakes one after another, and you won't be able to get up in the future. Back then, relying on the Jade Emperor's favor, you actually wanted to show me the Queen Mother's face. Hmph, he's in a bad situation now. But I made it all myself!"

The little fairy smiled and said: "Madam, I just passed by the Lingxiao Palace and saw that the heavenly soldiers had already gone down to capture him. I thought I could see him again later. Do you want to go and see the excitement? It is said that the general of the curtain is ugly now. Very soon, it is no longer what it used to be!"

The Queen Mother stuffed the glazed lamp into the little fairy's arms, relaxed her jade arms, and pillowed it under the cloud temples, closed her eyes again, and lazily said: "No, it's very interesting, I'm sleepy, let's take a nap first. "

The little fairy groaned in disappointment, and asked in a low voice, "Ma'am, when will I call you?"

The Queen Mother said: "Call me when everything is over, and you can have two days to live in peace when you get up, or else, you will have to listen to their nagging!"

The little fairy agreed crisply, got up and lowered the curtain, and quietly retreated out.

In the lower realm of the mortal world, Zhuang Fan had already brought his disciples to meet the Marquis of Shangguan in Fengxian County, and replaced Guan Wen.

Zhuang Fan led his disciples for a walk in Fengxian County. Seeing that the people outside the city were busy with spring plowing, the people in the city were happy and peaceful, and it was a peaceful scene. Good impression, after the next contact, seeing that he is indeed a handsome gentleman with a pure nature, so I couldn't bear it, and raised a little bit.

Although the Marquis of Shangguan didn't know why, he still solemnly accepted the three words that Zhuang Fan mentioned to him when he was parting: "Don't be angry", framed it, and hung it on the main hall, reminding himself all the time, in the end, it would be too late. Enron survived.

Leaving Fengxian County, Zhuang Fan rode on his horse and looked back, Wukong said: "Master, but are you still worried?"

Zhuang Fan said with a smile: "No, each person has his own fate, and it is useless for Master to spend so much time."

He just remembered that Tang Sanzang lived in Fengxian County for more than half a month, and the Marquis of Shangguan built a shrine for the four masters and apprentices, which yielded a lot of good fruits.

Now he came early and left early, no misfortune happened, no merit, although it was a loss to Wukong, but it was a blessing to avoid three years of severe drought in this place.

Zhuang Fan looked back at the misty county town for the last time, without any regrets in his heart, shook the reins, and walked along the main road, leading his disciples, straight to the west.

This line, from spring to summer, came to another capital city on this day.

Seeing the city from a distance, Zhuang Fan grabbed the reins, got off his horse, patted the little white dragon to make him turn back into a human body, turned back and waited for Bajie and Wuyou to catch up, then said to the little apprentice: "Bajie, go ahead and check Road, where is this world?"

Bajie agreed, now that his mana is much more powerful, he has already refined his own weapon, he listened to his master's order, and took away the rake, holding only the wooden fish in his hand, beating and beating, reciting scriptures, rushing to the crowd away.

Wuyou rode on Caramel Cake, saw the third senior brother going away, flicked the reins and came to Zhuang Fan's side, and said with a smile: "Master, the weather is so hot, let's stay in the capital for a few days, we need to rest up before leaving? "

After Wukong heard this, he turned around and said with a smile: "That's what I said, this time I don't like heat, in a few days, it will definitely be hotter than this, what should I do then, don't let it go?"

Wuyou smiled and got off the horse, raised his face and said: "No, no, big brother, rest for a few days to recharge your energy, let's drive in the middle of the night and rest during the day, won't it be enough?"

Zhuang Fan and Wukong Wuwang couldn't stop laughing when they heard this, Zhuang Fan stretched out his hand, grabbed Wuyou's ear, and said, "Little elf, you have more ideas."

Wuyou said: "Daddy, just tell me, is my idea okay? Anyway, our eyes are good, so we don't have to worry about not being able to see clearly when walking in the middle of the night. And there are no pedestrians on the road, so we can run as fast as we want!"

He patted the caramel cake, and said: "Now the caramel cake is almost perfect, so there is no need to worry about the second senior brother leaving it behind. Let's go faster, and we can reach Lingshan sooner!"

Wu Wang listened, and rubbed Caramel Cake's long face, causing Caramel Cake to open his mouth again to bite someone.

Zhuang Fan said with a smile: "Well, although it sounds unreliable, when you think about it carefully, it makes sense!"

Wukong also said: "Master, how else can we really do this?"

Seeing that the master and senior brother agreed, Wuyou's eyes lit up, but before he could say anything, he saw his third senior brother running back, waved his hand quickly, and said, "Third senior brother is back!"

While talking, Bajie ran up to him and said: "Master, just now I met an old man on the side of the road, he said that this place is the lower county of Tianzhu Kingdom, called Yuhua County, and there is a city lord in this county, who is the imperial family of Tianzhu Kingdom, Named after the place, known as King Yuhua."

Zhuang Fan nodded, remembering that this place was the place where Tang Sanzang's three disciples received apprentices. The three sons of King Yuhua respectively worshiped Wukong, Bajie and Nasha Wujing as teachers, and said, "Wukong, Wu Wang, Wu Neng, you three, do you want to accept disciples now?"

The three senior brothers looked at each other, quickly waved their hands and said: "Master, we are still young, what kind of apprentices are we accepting! No, no!"

They were still thinking about continuing to follow the master after the westward journey. The master said that he would continue to travel far, and also said that the journey was very dangerous. If he took in his apprentice and was burdened by the time, how could he go with the master?

The master has such a strong sense of responsibility, and appointed that he would not watch them leave the disciples alone.

If it is really abandoned by the master to take care of the apprentice, wouldn't it be a disaster?

So one counts as one, and the brothers all shook their heads like rattles, biting to death and not letting go, saying that they are still young, how can they accept disciples.

Zhuang Fan couldn't laugh or cry when he saw it, and said that he didn't want to at this time, maybe he saw the three little princes and thought he was a good seed, so he agreed, so he said: "If you don't accept it, don't accept it. Let's go to the city and find a Stay here, and then go to the palace to exchange for Guan Wen."

Because he was about to enter the city, Wu Wang did not return to his horse, and Wu You got off his horse. The master and his disciples led the horse and walked slowly. After a while, they came to the street by the city, and saw the boundary of the Guanxiang. , is very prosperous, both sides of the street are full of buyers and sellers, welcoming and sending off, the passenger flow is prosperous, and their voices and appearances are no different from those of the Chinese Tang Dynasty.

Wukong saw this and said with a smile, "Master, if I didn't really accompany you through thousands of mountains and rivers, and suddenly saw this place, I would have thought I was in Chang'an!"

Zhuang Fan smiled slightly, feeling strange in his heart, secretly thinking that since he left Liangjie Mountain, he had never heard a foreign language, and everyone spoke Mandarin, which was ridiculous.

It's not that Zhuang Fan didn't notice this before, it's just that he deliberately avoided it in his heart. Now it's very strange for Wukong to tell the truth.

As the old saying goes, five miles have different sounds, and ten miles have different tones. Even in the land of China, until modern times, there has never been a time when the tone is so unified.

This is like a TV series, where everyone speaks Mandarin, is it true or not?

At this moment, Zhuang Fan only felt that, perhaps, there was no place that could give him a sense of reality more than the world where his parents lived.

He sighed a long time, blinked his eyes, suppressed the little tears, turned his head and smiled at the monkey: "Master hasn't seen Chang'an for a long time, I heard you say this, but I have to take a good look at this place!"

The monkey grinned and said, "Master, don't be sad. Since we have already arrived in Tianzhu County, we are not far from the Lingshan Mountain. After learning the scriptures, we will return to Chang'an smoothly in another year or so. If you don't want to see it, you can see it!"

After Zhuang Fan heard this, he just smiled and said: "Okay, okay, listen to Wukong!" But he didn't explain to the monkey that they didn't have to go back to Chang'an.

Master and disciples were walking on the busy street, Zhuang Fan and Wu Kong are now heroic figures, Wu Wang and Ba Jie are both white and fat little monks, and only Wu You is a little Taoist boy, together, it is also very strange, It's just that the appearance and demeanor of several people are not like ordinary people, and no one dares to point and gossip about them.

Along the way, we crossed the suspension bridge and entered the city gate. It was even more bustling and bustling. Ba Jie led the way, found a restaurant, and booked an inn across the courtyard.

The itinerary was the same, after washing up, Zhuang Fan went to the palace to do business in the palace with his customs clearance certificate in his sleeves and his outfit.

He asked, "Go with Master, or go out to play by yourself?"

As a result, because of the hot weather, the children were very lethargic, and none of them wanted to go out to play. In the end, only Wukong followed the master, and the three of them and the caramel cake lazily nestled at home to cool off the heat.

Zhuang Fan took Wukong with him, asked the shopkeeper for the way, walked along the main road in the city, and came to the mansion of King Yuhua.

At the door, the ceremony officer was invited, seeing that Zhuang Fan and Wukong were well-groomed and dressed as monks, they went up to them and asked, "The elder is polite, what's the matter?"

When Bajie was not there, Zhuang Fan performed the eleven ceremonies and said to himself: "The poor monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. He was ordered by the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty and ordered by the Buddha to come to Da Leiyin to worship the Buddha. Now he is in your place. He wants to change the Guanwen. Now, I wonder if King Yuhua Qiansui can take the time to meet you?"

After hearing this, the ceremonial officer did not dare to delay, and hurriedly said, "Please wait a moment, the holy monk, and the villain will play for you!" After that, he turned around, stepped in quickly, met King Yuhua, and brought the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty here. As soon as the matter was said, King Yuhua was overjoyed when he heard it, and immediately sent an order to call him in.

Zhuang Fan took Wukong and walked into the palace, walked through the corridor and through the cave, came to the front of the treasure hall, and saluted His Highness, the King Yuhua dared not neglect, and asked Zhuang Fan to come to the hall and give him a seat.

At this time the king had seen a lot, Zhuang Fan was not as nervous as before, Shi Shiran sat down, Wukong stood behind his master, Zhuang Fan put the document on it, and asked King Yuhua to use his seal.

King Yuhua took the Guan Wen and read it carefully. After reading it through, he saw that the capitals of various states and the kings of various countries were attached to the back. After drying, Fang re-handed it to Zhuang Fan.

Zhuang Fan received the certificate of customs clearance, got up and saluted: "It's too much trouble, the poor monk thanked Qiansui, so I will take my leave!"

King Yuhua quickly waved his hands and said, "Why should the holy monk be so impatient! Sit first, first! Talk to this king, and it's not too late to leave."

Because he would stay in this city for a few more days, Zhuang Fan couldn't refuse sternly, so he sat back and said: "People who travel ascetics rarely see outsiders, don't talk much, are clumsy in tongue, but they are rude. Here, don’t blame a thousand years old!”

King Yuhua laughed and said, "Hey, what did the holy monk say? The holy monk is the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty. He also followed the Buddha's decree and went west to learn scriptures. If you think about it, you will be amazed and brilliant. Don't be humble!"

He asked again, "I don't know who is behind the holy monk..."

Zhuang Fan smiled slightly, suppressed his desire to show off, and pretended to be plain: "Oh, this is my great apprentice Sun Wukong, he is a spirit stone monkey born from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, he was a monkey in the Aolai country of the East in his early years. The Monkey King of Huaguo Mountain, and later served as a fairy official under the command of the Jade Emperor in Tianting. When the poor monk went west, he was sent by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be my first disciple by my side, killing demons and demons all the way, protecting The poor monk is going west safely!"

After the introduction, he turned to the monkey and said, "Wukong, come on, I have met Chitose!"

The King Yuhua heard the story of the great sage, and his feet were already weak. How could he dare to accept the gift of the great sage? How offending the gods face to face!"

Don't wait for Wukong to worship him, but he is going to worship Wukong!

Zhuang Fan saw that King Yuhua was terrified, and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth slightly, stroking his beard, very pleased, he hates those great saints who slander him the most, you see, just change the rhetoric a little bit Who wouldn't be respectful to his Wukong!

On the other hand, the monkey, whose face was flushed by the master's praise, and also made very cautious by the courtesy of King Yuhua, had no choice but to say: "The gift of a thousand years is very important, and my master is here. Such a gift for a thousand years, wouldn't it mean that my life would be shortened?" !"

After hearing this, King Yuhua realized that something was wrong, and quickly apologized to Zhuang Fan again.

Zhuang Fan didn't mind this, he wished that everyone would treat his monkeys more politely when he went out.

After exchanging pleasantries for a while, King Yuhua returned to the throne, but he didn't call for someone to move a stool for Wukong, but he was a little restless after all.

Zhuang Fan saw that he was embarrassed and very disturbed, so he said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk and a few apprentices are still waiting at the inn. The poor monk is afraid that they will be mischievous, so let's take our leave first!"

King Yuhua was shocked, and said: "The holy monk still has high-level disciples? You, a great disciple, have such an extraordinary background. I don't know who those are, and who are they?"

Zhuang Fan cleared his cough, and in a tone of "nothing, it's not that great", he said flatly: "It's not too surprising, the second apprentice of the poor monk is the third prince of Xihailong, the third apprentice, who used to be in charge of eighty thousand waters in the heavenly court. Marshal of the canopy of the army. In addition, Taiyi Zhenren's beloved apprentice is now adopted by the poor monk as a foster son, and he is going west with the poor monk as his teacher and apprentice."

King Yuhua heard that, sweating, how could he have thought that so many extravagant figures would come to his small county this day, so seeing Zhuang Fan getting up, he really wanted to leave, and never thought of it again. Dare to say anything to keep the words of the holy monk to chat, but respectfully send the holy monk and his disciples out of the door.

After walking out of the gate of the palace, Zhuang Fan couldn't help but burst out laughing loudly, and the monkey followed him, wondering: "Master, why is he so happy!"

Zhuang Fan stroked his beard and said: "There is an old saying, 30 years ago, the father respected the son, and 30 years later, the son respected the father. You don't know, Master is borrowing your reputation, so happy!"

The monkey burst out laughing, and said: "Master is talking big, you have been in this world in this physical body for a total of 30 years!"

Zhuang Fan shook his head and said: "Doesn't that mean that Master is lucky? In less than 30 years, my apprentices will be able to give Master face!"

The monkey scratched his head in embarrassment, and said: "Master, you just praise me. I am in the sky, and I should be called a fairy official. Then I got into trouble and was suppressed under Wuzhi Mountain for 500 years. Why didn't you tell others?" ?”

Zhuang Fannai said: "You don't understand, Master, this is called Chunqiu brushwork!"

The monkey didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Master, don't be foolish, the apprentice has also read a few books in Lingtai Mountain. The term "Spring and Autumn Brushwork" is not used in this way!"

Zhuang Fan hurriedly said: "Oh, those little monkeys are at home, no one is watching, I don't know if they will cause trouble, if they are hungry, Wukong, let's go, go home early, it's time for lunch..."

The two masters and apprentices chatted and laughed, and rushed to the inn briskly. After finishing the first priority here, the rest will be very easy.

But the king of Yuhua, since Zhuangfan and his disciples left, sat in the hall by himself, depressed.

King Yuhua had three sons, all of whom were very filial. When they stayed at noon, they came to the palace to invite their father to have a meal. Seeing that he was not happy, he stepped forward and asked, "Father, is there something on your mind? Why is there such a gloomy face?"

When King Yuhua saw his three sons, all of whom were talented in Yushu Linfeng, he couldn't help sighing: "It's a pity that my son is not blessed!"

The three little princes looked at each other, and the eldest prince said: "Father, what happened to you? We were born in the royal family, and we are clan relatives. We were born noble, and our father ruled a county alone, and this place is very rich. We were born Not to mention choking gold and swallowing jade, but also rich clothes and jade food, why did the father say that we are unlucky?"

After hearing this, King Yuhua sighed heavily, and said: "All these riches and honors in the mortal world are just a fleeting moment after all. How can it be compared to becoming an immortal and attaining the Tao and being at ease!"

The second prince laughed and said, "What's wrong with my father today? Why are you talking nonsense? In this world, how many people have seen real gods! I think it's just a deception made up by the world! How can there be any gods?" Monsters, if they really exist, why haven't I seen them before!"

The eldest prince and the third prince listened and agreed.

King Yuhua spat and said, "Little Huangkou, how old are you? How old are you? How dare you talk nonsense after seeing a few real people! Your father and I have just met the real God today! Where did you come from making it up! After you wait, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, and you are not allowed to talk nonsense, if you offend the gods, you will have good fruit!"

Those three were scolded, so they had no choice but to say that they were right, and invited King Yuhua to eat in the back hall. King Yuhua was so worried that he couldn't eat, so he kicked out the three sons who had loved so much in the past , Sitting in the hall in a daze, I don't know what to think about.

Where did the three princes receive this kind of training, and they felt very wronged when they came out. The third prince said angrily: "I don't know what kind of person my father met today, and he called him a god! This is what we scolded. Go out and tell the three of us how to behave in the future?"

The eldest prince snorted coldly and said, "Except for those monks and priests, I'm afraid no one would call themselves a god!"

The second prince said: "Brother, younger brother, I have a way to know who my father met today!"

The other two said: "So what if we know?"

The second prince said: "Let's not talk about it, we brothers are good at martial arts, go and teach that liar who uttered wild words a lesson, beat him down, bring him to the father, and tell him to meet the 'immortal' His true colors, isn’t that all right?”

The third prince slapped his palms and said: "Here! Let's vent our anger and ask Father to find out the truth. The second brother's idea is good, it's the best of both worlds!"

The eldest prince also nodded in agreement, and asked, "I just don't know how to know who this person is?"

The second prince raised his chin, pointed at the gate of the palace, and said: "Whenever anyone comes to see the father, the first person to meet is the ceremony official. Let's just tell him that he admires that fairy, and ask him about the origin of that fairy. Isn't it clear?"

The three brothers looked at each other with a smile and winked, and then they were looking for liars to make trouble in the inn, and they wanted to worship the teacher and force them to kneel down to the holy monk.
