Tang Seng is a cook

The two of them were talking, and outside there were other minor gods such as Wufang Jiedi, Four Values ​​Gongcao, Liuding Liujia, and Guardian Jialan, waiting outside the main hall, saying that they were going to return to escort the holy monk.

Neither the Tathagata nor the Jade Emperor paid much attention to this matter, and the westward journey was almost over. The Tang monk and his disciples were unscathed. Guanyin replied.

The guardian gods looked at each other and looked forward to see Guanyin. They wanted to go, but saw the red leaves standing beside Guanyin. They were a little frightened, so they came to look for Tathagata and Jade Emperor. , I had to go to the living room to find Guanyin.

Seeing them, Guanyin smiled and said, "Do you have a notebook?"

The little gods hurriedly said: "Some, some, although the disasters and tribulations suffered by the holy monk cannot be added to the number of Dayan, but the things that the holy monk has experienced on this journey are in detail, and the disciples are all recorded in the book. Bodhisattvas are all on record, and we don’t dare to hide even the words that are sometimes inaudible, so we have written them all.”

After saying that, I handed over the notebook respectfully and passed it on to Guanyin Guanyin, but my heart was really trembling.

Avalokitesvara's expression remained the same, he took it and didn't open it, he still smiled and said: "I went to see the holy monk, you also remember?"

The little gods hurriedly said: "Don't dare to dereliction of duty, please Bodhisattva to make amends!"

Avalokitesvara waved his hand and said: "What is the responsibility? Just remember that this westbound event is a major event in my God and Buddha world. I have talked all the way, but after this incident, I don’t know what to do, but if anyone asks..."

The little gods understood, quickly bowed and saluted, and said: "We just shirk and don't know!"

Guanyin nodded and said: "You have worked hard on this journey. When the holy monk returns, Lingshan will hold a westbound meeting. You will also be honored guests, and the Jade Emperor and Buddha will also be rewarded. Everyone will congratulate you. It happens that nothing happens at this time. , let’s take the opportunity to rest for a while!”

After hearing this, the little gods jumped for joy and breathed a sigh of relief, hurriedly resigned from Guanyin, and scattered happily in the living room, either to rest, or to chat with acquaintances.

Seeing those little gods dodging towards her, Hongye knew there was a ghost, so she took the booklet from Guanyin, opened it, and saw that it was still detailed in the front, but in the later stage, since he appeared beside Tang Seng and his disciples, especially Zhuang Fan After absorbing the primordial purple energy, the conversations of the people going west were all brief and brief, and they probably felt that it was not good to go on like this. Since Hongye left, those little Dharma protectors have made up a lot of conversations on their own. , couldn't help laughing and said: "This group of little gods, ghosts and ghosts!"

Avalokitesvara also saw it from the side, seeing that there was nothing illegal in those conversations, she couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I was scared to death!"

Hong Ye threw the notebook to him, and said: "It's not a solution for you to live in fear all the time, why don't you just go and forget about it when the uncle leaves!"

Guanyin was silent for a while, and said: "Although I am here, I have nothing to worry about except my apprentice, but if I want to go with him, I am afraid that he will not agree."

Hong Ye laughed and said: "What's the matter, he didn't ask you to go, why don't you go secretly?"

Avalokitesvara's eyes lit up, she held the notebook and began to be in a daze, thought for a while, sighed, and said: "I'll go to see the Buddha first, let's discuss that matter in the long run!"

Guanyin carried the notebook to look for Tathagata, Hongye watched him disappear into the crowd, pinched her chin and clicked her tongue.

In the Daxiong Palace, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata were still muttering, Guanyin came in and said: "Buddha, Your Majesty, this is the book handed in by the little gods who protect the Dharma. It records the incident and some words and deeds of the holy monk on his way to the west. Do you two want to see it? "

Tathagata was already suspicious in his heart, and he said strangely after hearing it: "Why are some words and deeds, let me have a look?"

Avalokitesvara handed it over directly, and said openly and honestly: "When Patriarch Hongye was with the holy monk, those little gods who protect the Dharma were not allowed to get close, so there is no verbal record."

Tathagata opened the notebook and watched it with the Jade Emperor. Seeing that Guanyin said something right, they had no choice but to let it go.

Back then, Hongye could get a piece of Primordial Purple Qi with one body. Although this person has not been sanctified for so many years, he lives in seclusion and concentrates on cultivation. He is no more complicated than them. If he doesn't care about cultivation, his skills will definitely improve, so he can't be offended. .

Tathagata flipped through the back and saw that after the red leaves left, the records returned to normal. That Tang Sanzang was focused on the west, and there was nothing improper in his words and deeds. In general, I always stick to my heart and concentrate on learning scriptures.

Tathagata didn't find anything wrong, nodded in satisfaction, and said to the Jade Emperor: "Although your subordinates are not good at skills, you can still do things faithfully, which can be regarded as diligence."

The Jade Emperor chuckled and said, "Not only mine, but also your Jiedi and Jialan!"

The Buddha also laughed, and Avalokitesvara said from the sidelines: "After all, it is the cooperation between Lingshan and Tianting that finally made it possible. At this time, in the westbound team, there are always two families of immortals and Buddhas together! After all, Your Majesty and I have contributed the most to the Buddha. You have won such a great merit for the beings of heaven and earth, and here are the disciples, let me congratulate the two venerables first!"

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha called Guanyin Shun very comforting, he felt better and his complexion improved a lot.

Avalokitesvara quickly said: "The master and disciple of Tang Sanzang brought the scriptures back to Chang'an, can I arrange someone to escort them? The holy monk, do you know that you can fly?"

Hearing this, the Tathagata groaned, and said: "I only followed the Four King Kongs to watch them go back east, but I forgot to tell them to speed up!"

Avalokitesvara quickly said: "Then do you want disciples to go and supervise?"

The Jade Emperor hurriedly said, "You can go, you can go, let the Bodhisattva go and have a look, let them go and come back quickly, don't stay in the mortal world if there is nothing to do!"

Tathagata still had a lot of trust in Avalokitesvara at this time, seeing that the Jade Emperor was impatient, he also said: "Then I will trouble you to make another trip!"

Avalokitesvara hurriedly said: "Why bother, my Buddha is serious! Disciple, go and talk to Patriarch Hongye, and then we will set off!"

Tathagata said: "Okay, yes, yes, yes, don't offend me for neglecting my junior brother, after all, you are careful, go!"

Guanyin took the book back from Tathagata's hand, said to file it, but actually carried it in her arms, planning to leave it like this, and went out of the Daxiong Palace to find Hongye.

When Hongye heard Guanyin said that she was going down the mountain to find Zhuang Fan, she couldn't help laughing and said, "I can't wait for such a short time!"

Avalokitesvara blushed, pulled the red leaves and walked out, explaining: "Where is that thing! Patriarch, didn't you read the book before, those little gods who protect the Dharma made up a lot of dialogues and wrote it down? I just listened to the Buddha Said, he sent the Four Great Vajras to follow Zhuang Fan, I am afraid that the matter of the book will be exposed, so I will go to meet him, the ancestor should not relax here, just go with me, just to make a cover!"

After listening to Hong Ye, she praised: "Man Tian Xia, you are such a careful person, but you were met by the uncle, the uncle is really lucky!"

Avalokitesvara blushed like something, and only urged: "Ancestor, let's go! If you are a step late, and the Vajras find out the clues and come back to tell the Buddha, it will be a big disaster!"

At that time, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata will become suspicious of the Dharma Protector God, and I am afraid that Zhuang Fan will also be exposed.

The two of them walked out while talking, and bumped into Zhen Yuan, who was holding his daughter and showing off around, seeing Hong Ye and Guan Yin hurrying out, they said, "What are you going to do here?"

Hongye left in a hurry, and answered him impatiently, just said: "Shit!" Pulling Guanyin's sleeve, she ran away, choking Zhenyuan enough, thinking that you are a dryad, what a shit...

"shit!"

A baby-like voice perfectly caught up with Immortal Zhenyuan's complaints. Zhenyuan looked down at the girl in his arms, laughed like a little meatball, clapped his hands, and was so happy.

Zhenyuan's face turned green: Rude!

Fortunately, Avalokitesvara was smart and came out quickly, and King Kong only accepted the order to stare at Tang Monk and his disciples, but did not say to escort them eastward, so Avalokitesvara took Hongye down the mountain and rushed over to see that Zhuang Fan was leading his disciples. When he walked to Lingyundu, it seemed that he was preparing to cross the single-plank bridge.

Avalokitesvara hurried to catch up with the red leaves, and only shouted in mid-air: "Holy monk, slow down, the Buddha's decree, let me escort the holy monk, master and disciple back to the east!!" This voice was not for Zhuang Fan, but for Zhuang Fan. Tell it to the Four King Kongs.

Zhuang Fan heard the voice of Avalokitesvara, turned his head quickly, and saw that the white clothes were fluttering, and the red leaves were beside him. The two landed in front of his eyes, and hurriedly stepped forward to greet him, "Why are you here?"

The red leaf thief smiled and said nothing, Guanyin blushed, holding back her shame, and told Zhuang Fan about the matter.

Zhuang Fan laughed and said, "Sure enough, you are careful, I can't think of these little things!"

He said to Hongye again: "This trip is too much work for you again!"

Hong Ye put her hands on her sleeves and said: "What's the trouble, I'm also joining in the fun, and it won't take much time."

Avalokitesvara worriedly said: "I just went down the mountain, have you master and apprentice talked?"

Wukong said from the side: "Uncle, my master came out of the Daxiong Palace, his face was as sinking as water, like a stuffy tank, and he didn't say a word! We gasped for breath and didn't dare to speak loudly. It's you who came, my master is here!" smile!"

A few younger ones also echoed, saying: "That's it!"

Guanyin blushed even more, for a moment he didn't know how to answer correctly.

It was Zhuang Fan who was thicker-skinned, and said: "It's not convenient to stay here for a long time, let's raise a cloud and go back to Chang'an directly!"

Wuyou said: "Daddy, shall I go with you? Can I go to my master?"

Avalokitesvara rubbed Wuyou's small forehead, and said: "You are the Jade Emperor's man who passed the Ming Road at the Buddha's place. What kind of master are you looking for? Let's go back to Chang'an together, and come back later. I don't want to talk to your master. In time!"

Wu You pursed his lips and said, "Alright then! Then I'll follow."

Zhuang Fan hugged his youngest son, and only smiled at Guanyin, who turned his face away hastily.

It is said that Teng Yunfei went back, but there were red leaves. This ancestor was always lazy, so he took out a green leaf boat, and everyone boarded the boat together.

Everyone flew up in mid-air, rubbing the red leaves, looked at the caramel cake, and said, "This kid can transform into a shape, why is he still a horse?"

Wukong giggled and said, "Isn't that afraid of people's envy? It's only been two years since he went from wild horse to transformation!"

Hongye said, "It's okay, it's mediocre not to be envied by others, after passing Lingyundu once, it doesn't matter if you turn into a human being."

Everyone went to look at the caramel cake. The caramel cake made everyone flustered. They raised their necks and screamed twice, and wanted to turn around.

Hongye said to Wukong: "Go and deal with him!"

Wukong said: "Okay!" He got up and patted his buttocks, came to the side of Caramel Cake, first waved his hand, put away the scriptures on Caramel Cake's back, then put away the saddle and bridle, and cleaned up the brown wild horse Jing, then patted Caramel Cake on the back and said: "Okay, little one, it's time to transform into a human!"

Caramel cake snorted twice, blinked its big eyes, and flicked its long tail, and came to rub against Wukong, pretending to be incomprehensible.

Monkey is from Bi Mawen, can he accept this coquetry?Pulling the caramel cake by the ear, he said: "Be honest, I will leave the formulas to you! Pretend not to understand! Change quickly, or there will be no dinner at night! There will be no sugar in the future!"

It's fine if you don't eat, you can't do without sugar, and your ears hurt so badly, the caramel cake was in a hurry, and there was a sudden puff on the spot, and the smoke flashed for a long time, everyone waved their hands away, and then saw Goku is clutching a...

Little brown people?

I saw the doll in front of me, also with three heads, not fat, with well-defined arms and legs, and a dark and shiny complexion. According to Zhuang Fan, it was chocolate color, with long brown and black hair, with a little curly hair. Son, with big and round eyes, big nostrils and thick lips, is crying right now, hanging on Wukong's arm and whimpering in pain.

"Oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooones!"

Wukong pinched the caramel cake up and down, and said, "Where does it hurt?"

The caramel cake made Wukong squeeze so hard that tears came out, and he shouted to Zhuang Fan: "Master, help!"

Zhuang Fan was wondering how the caramel cake turned into a colored man, seeing him calling himself Master, he couldn't help laughing and said, "What's the name?"

After Wukong squeezed the caramel cake, he saw that his muscles and bones were not damaged, so he let go, and the little brown doll ran into Zhuang Fan's arms, moaning and wiping away tears, "Master, my master bullied me!"

Wuyou leaned over, nodded angrily on the big forehead of Caramel Cake, and said, "Little traitor, thanks to my being so kind to you, why did you accept senior brother as your master?"

Caramel Cake called a little uncle, asked Zhuang Fan to dress him, and said, "Master picked me up..."

Zhuang Fan listened and nodded. It was indeed the monkey that took the caramel cake from the field to pull the sledge.

Wukong came over to help his master lift the caramel cake pants, and said coldly: "I don't want you to be such a stupid apprentice, who can't even transform into a shape, just know how to act like a baby and scream pain!"

When Caramel Cake heard this, tears filled his eyes again, he turned around and threw himself into Zhuang Fan's arms, crying loudly: "Master, Master is going to drive me out of the sect!"

Zhuang Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry, he couldn't stop laughing as he hugged the little brown baby who was pretending to cry.

Wuyou discussed with Wukong, and said sweetly: "Brother, if you don't want this apprentice, give it to me!"

Wu Wang also came over and said: "Brother, let me see, caramel cake is just right for me. I am a dragon horse, and he is a magic horse. He should be a master and apprentice!"

Bajie also joined in the fun, saying: "Oh, there is a big difference between dragon and horse, lotus and horse are not the same way, this apprentice, I have to accept it! I am an old pig, but I was born as a pig spirit! Pigs and horses are not separated. !"

Wukong said in his mouth: "Go, go, go! It's just adding to the chaos!" Chasing all the juniors away, he took the caramel cake from the master's arms, threw it on his neck, and asked the brown doll in a small coat to ride on his neck Son, Wukong squatted in front of Zhuang Fan, and said with a smile: "Master, the caramel cake has already transformed, so it can no longer be called a nickname. Master, please give me a big name?"

Zhuang Fan smiled and nodded, but it was a pity that he shaved his beard clean and couldn't smooth it out, so he said, "This is a serious matter! Caramel Cake is the No. You brothers and sisters in this discipline were descended according to the ranking of Bodhi’s uncle’s family at that time, and they were ranked according to the word ‘Enlightenment’. For the generation of Caramel Cake, you can also start with the following order, Guang, Da, Wisdom. , Hui, Zhen, Ru, Xing, Hai, Ying, Wu, Yuan, Jue, this is the round generation!"

Wukong squeezed his apprentice's little feet, and said, "It's a pity that it's not round..." The caramel cake was afraid of itching, and Wukong was so happy to scratch it. When he kicked his legs, he almost threw himself up, but fortunately, Wukong caught him.

The monkey said: "Master, my surname back then was transformed from the shape of Master Bodhi's finger. If so, Caramel Cake will be named Ma as usual."

When Caramel Cake heard this, she pouted, her two powerful legs trembled, and she said loudly, "No! I want my surname to be Sun!"

The monkey put him down, held him in his arms, and said very seriously: "You little pony, what kind of descendant is your surname!"

Caramel Cake was not afraid of him, twisted his neck, looked at Zhuang Fan eagerly, and said in a very pitiful whisper: "Master, my master is murdering me again! I want my surname to be Sun!"

Zhuang Fan looked at his eldest apprentice's gloomy face, and felt funny. After all, he was the next generation, so he said, "Wukong, he named Caramel Cake himself. He likes his grandson, so you should obey him!"

Wukong originally thought that the master is easy-going, and when he sees their brothers and sisters, his heart softens. She has learned to act like a baby with her master before she formally apprenticed to her teacher, it's just terrible!

What could the monkey do, so he had to agree, but Zhuang Fan couldn't think of a good word for Sun Yuan, so everyone still called him Caramel Cake.

Because it is not easy to do the apprentice ceremony on the green boat, Caramel Cake only recognizes the uncles, the uncle Hongye and the uncle Guanyin.

Seeing that his younger brother got an apprentice, and this apprentice was inspected by Wukong himself for two years, and his character was good, Hongye was very happy in his heart, and said happily, "Oh, Master Uncle is amazing, the population is getting more and more prosperous!"

Guanyin also laughed and said: "Indeed, your errands are endless, and you will have a lot of disciples and grandchildren!"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "You can't envy this!"

Looking back, he said to Wukong again: "Accepting apprentices is a big deal. Back then, the master and apprentice sent you and your juniors to have a formal apprenticeship ceremony. When the scriptures are delivered and everything is settled, let's find a place and do it well." Master Appreciation Ceremony!"

Avalokitesvara said: "Your grand ceremony is amazing. It is estimated that there will be more people going to the westbound meeting later!"

Zhuang Fan said: "Always rectify Wukong's name, and share his name with Bodhi's in front of everyone."

Hong Ye let out a chuckle, and said haha: "Master, you're actually putting a knife in Bodhi Heart!"

Seeing the adults mentioning his old affairs, Wukong was quite embarrassed, so he hugged his disciples quickly, and took the juniors to sit aside.

Guanyin saw that Wukong was gone, and said: "Who told him that he was careless and only cared about getting angry, and he didn't care about driving Wukong out of the mountain gate. If he followed Wukong to take care of him, he would not leave the child alone and suffer for nothing. So many years!"

Zhuang Fan said: "Bodhi is not wrong, in fact, when it comes to this matter, I missed the appointment first!"

He turned his head to look at Guanyin, and said: "After all, I made a reckless mistake, and I can't blame others."

Guanyin knew what he was talking about, and couldn't help but blushed.

Hongye looked at it, and sighed, "Oh, I'm transparent, am I? Fortunately, I'm not single now, otherwise, wouldn't it be that you two would be tortured to death!"

Zhuang Fan was thick-skinned and pretended not to hear. He took Guanyin's hand and looked down. He saw the city walls flickering and the wilderness intertwined. He said: "Where is this? How far is Chang'an?"

Hong Ye took a look and said, "Hurry up, in a quarter and a half, it's time to arrive!"

Zhuang Fan asked: "Are you hungry? The children and I have only eaten some dry food so far. When we arrive in Chang'an, let's go eat first?"

Hongye said: "Okay, let's go back, go to my house first, I have a lot of cooks, I can cook anything I want, it's cleaner than outside, and there are not so many taboos!"

Zhuang Fan asked Avalokitesvara, "Tathagata and the Jade Emperor can talk, how long does it take me to turn around?"

Avalokitesvara said: "I just told you to hurry up, but didn't say the specific time. It's just that your westward journey is eleven or twelve years earlier. They have been waiting for more than two years. It doesn't matter if you wait a few more days. This did not bring the ancestors here, and when they meet the Buddha Jade Emperor, if they ask, you can just push the ancestors and say that he is pulling you and not letting go!"

Hongye raised her eyebrows when she heard this, and said angrily, "You little Guanyin! Let me tell you! It turned out that you didn't pull me here, but there is such a thing!"

Zhuang Fan laughed loudly, protecting Guanyin behind his back, and said to Hongye: "Don't be angry, you are the only one among us now, who can be used as a tiger's skin by us! !"

After hearing this, Hongye said disconsolately, "I don't know if you are praising me or scolding me!"

Everyone chatted and laughed, and after a while, they came over Chang'an.

That's all for nothing, mortals with mortal bodies can't see the gods on the boat in midair, only a few pine trees in the Hongfu Temple where the Tang monk in Chang'an used to live, in response to Tang Sanzang's oath to leave. The crowns of the trees are tilted to the east to welcome the holy monk back to the east.
