Tang Seng is a cook

Because Guan Wen was about to be switched, and it was still dark at this time, Zhuang Fan took his apprentices to the side of the road to rest. These days, he was out at night and night, and the jet lag was upside down. Zhuang Fan was afraid that the children would not be able to rest, so he deliberately took Out of the enchantment beads, adjust the time, and ask everyone to meditate and rest inside.

It wasn't until the sky was bright and the city gate was wide open that Zhuang Fan asked everyone to get up, except for the little lion Rhubarb who was still sleeping soundly in his belly pocket, Wukong and the others were very energetic.

The master and his disciples led the horses and stepped into the city. All the way, they saw that it was indeed a prosperous place. Zhuang Fan sighed as he walked. Like many cities before him, the clothes and speech of the people were the same as those in other places. On the road, everyone speaks standard Mandarin everywhere.

Still so weird.

Zhuang Fan put this matter in his heart and didn't think about it, he led his disciples all the way to Dongshi Street, where there are many hotels and the business is bustling, so Zhuang Fan discussed with his disciples and stayed here, because They had a lot of people, they had horses, and they were not short of money, so they stayed in the guest house as before.

The inn where Zhuang Fan's master and apprentice lived was very spacious. In the courtyard where they lived, there was a tall osmanthus tree, under which the shade was dense and cool. After the children took a bath, they ran to the stone bed under the tree and collapsed. Even Zhuang Fan changed into casual clothes, sat cross-legged on the stone bench with a cattail fan in his hand, and drank tea leisurely.

Bajie went out to inquire about the news, and after a while, he came back and said, "Master, this land is indeed Tianzhu Kingdom, which has been established for about five hundred years. The one who is now on the throne is said to love landscapes and flowers, and he is called Emperor Yizong." , changed to Yuan Jingyan, and it has been 16 years since he was enthroned!"

Wukong was lying beside him, with his hands behind his head, his legs crossed high, and he shook his head and said: "The monarch of a country, the people of his family introduce him to the outside world, and only talk about what he loves, but not about his political achievements. He has been on the throne for 16 years. , nothing else, and it’s no wonder that King Yuhua and his son are ambitious and want to rebel.”

Zhuang Fan wiped Bajie's sweat, and asked him to drink tea slowly, while he said with emotion: "Since ancient times, the successful kings will inevitably be arrogant, extravagant and promiscuous in the end, so that the country will perish. It is also inevitable that the dynasty will change.”

Wukong scratched his head and said, "It's not good for ordinary people to live a short lifespan. If the monarch who established the foundation can live to be [-] years old, how can future generations ruin the family fortune?"

Zhuang Fan laughed and said: "If you can live to be a thousand or eight hundred years old, I'm afraid you don't have much fighting spirit. Don't talk about others, look at the three rhinoceros spirits, which one is not a thousand years old? But for thousands of years, what kind of inheritance have they left behind? Going to deceive mortals every year for a little sesame oil to eat, occupying a small hill, and having a broken cave to hide in is enough, so what in the end? It’s not all in vain.”

Wu Wang sighed: "It's really like this. Although goblins live a long time, there is no one who loves to conquer mountains and rivers like human beings. The years are long. A retreat lasts for more than ten or twenty years. Everyone pursues longevity and desires the way of immortals and Buddhas. , what kind of family business, no one sees it..."

Bajie also said: "Yes, don't talk about the family business, even the offspring, the monsters don't care much. It's even rarer for a junior brother to have two babies at a young age. Most of them survived. For tens of thousands of years, in the end, there is no blood at all. If one person is full and the whole family is not hungry, what kind of family business is needed and what kind of foundation is built."

After hearing this, Wuyou stroked his little bun happily, his little flower buds were still well hidden inside.

Wukong patted each one, and said: "I'm talking about mortals with master, what are you talking about goblins! Don't mention these two words, your senior brother makes me nervous!"

Wuyou wondered: "Brother, you and Daddy have met many monsters along the way, why are you so nervous? I didn't even know you were so timid~"

Wukong clicked his tongue and said: "Think about it, this is Tianzhu, which can be regarded as the foot of Lingshan Mountain. The place shrouded by the Buddha's light should have cleared the sea and cleared the world without any evil spirit, but this There are monsters in the land! How many monsters are there?"

Zhuang Fan laughed and said in his heart, he's just a little rabbit, he can't even beat the original Wukong, let alone the current Wukong.

It's just that it's good for the children to be a little vigilant, so Zhuang Fan didn't talk too much, and let them bicker with each other.

At this moment, Rhubarb woke up, and the little lion was lying on the stone table, with its two paws stretched forward, its fat buttocks turned back, and its mouth wide open. While yawning, it stretched its long waist and shook Shaking his hair, he sat there upright, his big eyes were watery, and he whimpered at Zhuang Fan.

super tender.

Zhuang Fan stroked Dahuang's hairy little ears and said, "Are you awake?"

Rhubarb stretched out its two paws, wanting to hug it. Zhuang Fan held it in his arms, played with it for a while, and then let it go to pee.

As a result, this little thing, Rhubarb, came to a new place, which was very novel, and since there was no one around, the yard was unobstructed, so he became bolder and ran around the courtyard wall, enclosing the territory.

Lying on his side, with his head on his hands, Wukong watched the little lion running all over the yard, and said with a smile, "It's good this time, with rhubarb, I don't need to draw circles when I stay in the wild in the future."

Wuyou chuckled and said, "Just its little guts, the size of a sesame seed, can scare away a few beasts."

Bajie laughed softly: "I don't know about the other side, the rabbit is not going to be a rabbit anyway."

After everyone heard this, Qi Qi couldn't help but chuckled when he thought of how Rhubarb was chased away by the little rabbit and fled in embarrassment that day.

Don’t dare to smile openly. Don’t look at the little lion as timid, but he is sensitive. When he was chased by the rabbit last time, Wuyou laughed the loudest. Later, Rhubarb sneaked onto Wuyou’s bed in the middle of the night , There was a sign of "Come here for a visit", causing Wuyou to wake up in the morning thinking that he wetted the bed, and was so ashamed that he dared not get up under the quilt.

If it weren't for Bajie's sharp nose to smell the culprit, Wuyou's "black history" would have been properly recorded.

After spending half a day lazily in the inn, the children planned to go shopping in the afternoon. Seeing that they were not short of money, Zhuang Fan called them over, but Wukong followed his master and refused to go out.

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Since that's the case, go exchange official documents with Master? Maybe the goblin might be in the palace."

Wukong said: "These goblins are really courageous. They occupy a place in the barren mountains and wild mountains. It's fine to stay in peace. There is a lot of purple around the king of the world. Where is it so easy to go!"

Zhuang Fan sighed, didn't say anything, saw that Wu Wang led Ba Jie and Wu You away, even Rhubarb was carried by Wu You, and went together, and said: "Then leave the caramel cake to watch over the house, we master and apprentice go too!"

Wukong nodded, and when the master changed his clothes, put on the equipment, and put on the certificate of customs clearance, the two masters and apprentices came out of the inn one after the other.

Zhuang Fan just had his hair cut a few days ago, and now his scalp is still bald, but the beard on his face is still very vigorous, Wukong said with a smile: "Master, I'm afraid you will keep this beard in Chang'an forever?"

Zhuang Fan stroked his chin and said, "Well, no need, after catching this goblin, I guess Master will be able to shave his beard!"

After hearing this, Wukong's eyes lit up, and he said with a grin: "Master, could it be that the road ahead will be peaceful?"

Zhuang Fan winked and said calmly: "Well, maybe there are still little waves, who knows."

The monkey understood. He was expecting and worrying for a while. Zhuang Fan also noticed the children's worries recently. , Master will accompany you for a walk first. Let’s go to Huaguo Mountain for the first stop, and then go for a stroll in the West Sea. Bajie probably doesn’t want to go back to Gaolaozhuang. No matter what, tell him to choose a place he likes to settle down and open a restaurant."

The monkey suddenly became very happy, and said, "Master, what about my little brother?"

Zhuang Fan thought for a while, and said, "Wuyou, I guess Master Taiyi can come to pick him up."

Wukong said with a smile: "Young brother, I think it will be very difficult."

Zhuang Fan also laughed, and said: "Then there is no difficulty, the big deal is, if you live here for a few days, and there for a few days, you can still go for a walk, and you can meet many people, that would be great."

Wukong said: "That's right, we can still live with Big Brother Hongye."

Zhuang Fan stroked Wukong's forehead, and said with a smile: "Don't forget Mao Mao, last time Bodhi sent a letter, he also said that Mao Mao missed you very much, and said you brother Wuli, your ears are almost growing calluses .”

Wukong smiled and said: "Go, go, go, just happen to be on the way, let's go to Lingtai Mountain first, eat and drink! There are many peach trees in the back of Lingtai Mountain, and the peaches are big and sweet. It happened to be just in time for the peaches to ripen."

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Okay, okay, let's go to Lingtai Mountain first! Go eat Bodhi!"

Wukong suddenly had a heartbeat and said: "Master, could it be that you are going to that place after you have met everyone?"

The smile on Zhuang Fan's face suddenly faded, and he sighed in his heart, saying that the monkey is really smart and clever, and he can't hide anything from him.

It's just that Zhuang Fan couldn't bear Wukong's worries, so he said, "Why, Master just got bored on the road and wanted to go for a break. You guys can still sneak out to play. Master doesn't have a holiday, so he has to rush all the time. .”

He tugged at Wukong's ear, and said: "I still have to gather you a bunch of little monkeys. It's very hard work. Master also needs to relax and travel."

The monkey repeated the word "tourism" several times, and said, "I've never heard of this word, but it's a good word, Master, now we're on a journey, wandering outside, can it be called tourism? "

Zhuang Fan said with a smile: "We are now called traveling. After learning the scriptures, Master will take you on a tour of the mountains and rivers. If you are free, that is called traveling."

The monkey was so happy that he said coquettishly, "Master, then we should have more fun."

Zhuang Fan patted the monkey on the shoulder and said: "Don't worry, Master will lead you around first, and then go to work. After Master comes back, the days will be long. Master is no longer a mortal body. He can live for a long time, and he can also accompany you It has been watching you for thousands of years."

The monkey pursed his mouth and said, "I'm afraid that Master will never come back."

Zhuang Fan listened and teased him: "If the master really got lost, Wukong somersaulted so fast, and he found the master after a few somersaults?"

The monkey said: "Then I'll go find Master, Master, don't be unhappy, and don't deny me!"

Zhuang Fan knew that Wukong still had some knots in his heart, so he comforted him: "How come, master said, Wukong will always be master's great apprentice, and master keeps his word."

Monkey nodded, but when he thought of Master leaving, his heart was heavy, he always felt uneasy and nervous.

The master and apprentice walked slowly along the street while talking, and when they looked up, they were already outside the Meridian Gate.

Zhuang Fan, who was familiar with the way, reported his family name to Huangmenguan. Huangmenguan heard that he was a younger brother from the Tang Dynasty in the east. Welcome Zhuang Fan and his disciples to the hall.

Zhuang Fan took Wukong with him to meet the king of Tianzhu, but he didn't prostrate himself. He only performed the eleven ceremonies, recited a Buddha's name, and claimed to pay homage to His Majesty.

The king was a little displeased at first, but Tianzhu is at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. In the past few days, he heard that the monk from the Tang Dynasty had some supernatural powers. Someone moved to Xiudun and asked Zhuang Fan to sit down.

Zhuang Fan handed out the certificate of customs clearance and said: "Here is the certificate of customs clearance, please use your seal."

Before the imperial case was handed over by a servant, the king of Tianzhu took it and looked at it carefully. He saw the imperial seal of the Tang emperor and the seals of the states and states along the way. Where is it? How far is it from my Tianzhu country?"

Zhuang Fan smiled slightly and said, "My Tang Dynasty is in the land of China in Nanbuzhou, and the poor monk didn't know the exact distance, but when the Bodhisattva guided him back then, he said it was one hundred and eight thousand miles away. If it is true or false, the poor monk will not know."

The king stroked his beard and asked again: "I wonder how long it took the holy monk to come here from the Tang Dynasty?"

Zhuang Fan sighed, and said: "Ah, the journey is difficult, and there are many demons and ghosts who delay the journey. Fortunately, the third prince of the West Sea Dragon, who was enlightened by the Bodhisattva, turned into a horse and carried the poor monk on the road. Eliminating the demons and keeping the poor monk on his way, there was no delay, the poor monk Zhenguan left Chang'an in 13 years, and now it has been two full years."

The king took a deep breath when he heard this, and he didn't dare to be negligent. He quickly opened the imperial seal, stamped it, dried it, and handed it back to Zhuang Fan.

Zhuang Fan stood up, thanked the king, and said: "The poor monk will take his leave now!"

The king said: "I wanted to have a long talk with the holy monk, but I dare not delay the matter of learning the scriptures. The holy monk will go slowly."

Being polite again, Zhuang Fan led Wukong out of the palace, and came to the street again.

Nothing happened, nothing happened!

Zhuang Fan wondered: "Wukong, you can see a dark color on the king's face."

Wukong scratched his head, he didn't expect it to go so smoothly, and said: "Master, I see the king's auspicious light shrouded in purple air rising, maybe there are still ten or twenty years to sit on the throne, and I also look at it from a distance in the palace." After a while, there is no evil spirit."

Zhuang Fan clicked his tongue and said, "It's strange, could it be that this little rabbit spirit has to wait more than ten years before he can descend to the mortal world?"

No trace of the little rabbit spirit was found in the palace. Zhuang Fan also estimated that the princess of the king of Tianzhu is only eight years old, far less than the age of throwing a hydrangea ball to recruit a husband. He thought, maybe it is a little rabbit. Jing felt that the time had not come, and hadn't come to take revenge?

Then their masters and apprentices will not accompany them.

Listening to Zhuang Fan's muttering, Wukong wondered, "Master, what little rabbit spirit?"

Zhuang Fan then slapped the jade rabbit spirit Su'e in the Guanghan Palace of Taiyin Xingjun in the old year, and then went down to earth, reincarnated into the belly of the queen of Tianzhu Kingdom, and became a princess. The jade rabbit held a grudge and wanted to come down to earth for revenge. After the matter was over, he said: "Who knows that the little rabbit spirit didn't come. Since that's the case, we don't care about it. We will leave tonight after changing the document."

Unexpectedly, Wukong let out a cry, and said: "Master, I think that the little rabbit spirit didn't come to you, maybe he went to find someone else..."

Zhuang Fan stroked his beard and wondered, "Who are you looking for?"

Wukong laughed twice, leaned over and said in a low voice: "Master, Bajie didn't tell you why he was punished to descend to the mortal world, right?"

Zhuang Fan thought about it carefully, tsk, although he knew why Bajie was demoted, but this little fat man didn't seem to have mentioned this matter with him along the way, so he said: "Pangpang told you? "

Wukong grinned and said, "That little idiot, thin-skinned and very shy, how could he tell me? I heard Kui Mulang and the others gossip with me after drinking, saying that Bajie was drunk at the Peach Party. Drinking and molesting a Chang'e from Taiyin Xingjun's family, called Nishang Fairy, the Jade Emperor wanted to punish him severely, but Taibai Jinxing interceded for him, so he was demoted to the lower realm."

Zhuang Fan said: "So that's the case, it's just that there's nothing about Su'e and Jade Rabbit Spirit here!"

Wukong laughed and said: "Master, you don't know, when Bajie was the Marshal of the Tianpeng, he was majestic and dignified. Although he was not very handsome, he was also very masculine and masculine. Most of the little fairies are in love with him, in the Guanghan Palace of the old lady, every one is counted as one, and every heart is given to the canopy!"

When Zhuang Fan heard this, he couldn't help but laugh, and said, "Master doesn't know that Pangpang has such a good time."

Wukong laughed and said: "Perhaps it was the Jade Emperor who saw the canopy so beautiful in the sky, so he was so angry that he knocked him down to the mortal world and cast him into a pig's womb! No position, no appearance, Bajie is now a After leaving the little monk, naturally there is no chance of women at all."

Zhuang Fan thought about it, and suddenly realized that he was actually persuaded by his apprentice's words!

He secretly smiled and said in a low voice: "It's okay, we are fat now, with round faces, big eyes, fair skin and tender skin, we are also a good-looking little monk!"

Wukong hurriedly said: "Master, that's where the bad is! If the jade rabbit saw Bajie from a distance, how could he not attack him? Master, you have beards on your face now, no one pays attention, Bajie has become ours!" Among the masters and apprentices, the one who looks the most lovable!"

Zhuang Fan panicked when he heard this, and said, "It's bad, they all went shopping!"

The master and apprentice looked at each other, hurriedly quickened their pace, and rushed to the inn, planning to go back and have a look first, and if the family was not there, they would look for it separately.

As a result, as soon as I entered the alley where the guest house was located, I saw a group of people in front of the courtyard where they lived, wearing red and hanging colors, playing and playing, carrying a lot of boxes, and an old woman dressed as a matchmaker was knocking on the door with a handkerchief, shouting Said: "Little elder, what are you ashamed of? Marriage is a major event in the relationship between heaven and earth! You have become a monk at a young age, and your bloodline has been cut off. You are sorry for the sky, you are sorry for the earth, and you are sorry for your parents and ancestors in the middle! What's wrong with master, your master can't hinder this important matter of human relations! There are three kinds of unfilial piety, the biggest is to have no descendants, and you are not filial to your parents. What scriptures and Buddhas do you worship? Besides, our eldest princess is a talented person with a noble status. In the entire capital city, only the emperor and the queen are older than our eldest princess. If you marry the eldest princess, you will be a first-class noble person. If you go out, whoever disrespects you, don’t toast or eat fine wine! You don’t know what’s good or bad !"

The old woman opened her mouth to spit and spittle, talking non-stop, but there was no sound in the courtyard gate, there was no movement at all, as if no one was there.

Zhuang Fan and Wukong looked at each other, then backed away quietly, and the people around them were all focused on watching the fun, no one noticed them, the master and apprentice found a secluded place, disappeared, and flew to the courtyard In the middle of the trip, I came down to take a look, and saw three Wuwangwu and Nengwuyou brothers, disheveled clothes, with a few red marks on their faces, dazed and panicked, all crowded together, sitting under the osmanthus tree in a daze On the stone bed, staring at the black painted door in a daze, while the little bastard Rhubarb was raising his legs towards the door, hissing loudly.

As soon as Wukong landed on the ground, he waved out the enchantment bead to block the sound from the outside world. Zhuang Fan walked towards the three children and said softly, "Hey, fat, Wuyou, what's wrong?"

The three terrified teenagers breathed a sigh of relief when they saw their master and elder brother came back. Wu Wang wiped the sweat from his brow and said, "Oh my god, master, we have met a snatcher! These old women Son, it's so fucking tough! It scared me to death!"

Zhuang Fan burst into laughter, poked Wu Wang on the forehead, and said, "Shut up your accent, what an old woman, it's so ugly!"

With lingering fears in his heart, Bajie patted his chest and said, "No, Master, we were really scared today! Those women, all of them have big arms and round waists, they will come up to grab you! We dare not resist with all our strength, we are all mortals, whoever hurt us?" It's all a sin, oh my god, I was almost snatched away to get married!"

Zhuang Fan wondered, "Which one of you robbed me?"

Standing on the stone bed, Wuyou said angrily, "Which one will you grab? The eldest princess said that the three of us are all good-looking. Even though I am younger, she doesn't dislike me. She wants all three!"

Wukong, who was drinking water, spit out a mouthful of tea, choking and coughing earth-shatteringly.
