Tang Seng is a cook

Zhuang Fan is now dissipated by Heavenly Dao, and he has returned to his original appearance. Except for his better health, he is a complete mortal. In this extremely cold winter, he stood in the wilderness and yelled twice against the wind. Beifeng didn't say anything about his stomach, he coughed from choking, shivered from the cold, and sneezed a few more times, and then he stopped being embarrassed, put on the hat of his down jacket, turned around and ran to his aunt's house.

In the green leaf boat in the sky, Dizang had already heard Guanyin explain the ins and outs, so he couldn't help frowning, and said, "So, the one below is Senior Brother Jin Chan?"

He poked his head out, looked at the man who was hunching his neck, crossing his arms, trotting all the way in the snow, staggering from time to time, and said with a frown, "Look at this skill, he's just a mortal!"

Guanyin sighed, and said: "Not only that, but his appearance has also changed, for some reason, it just happened suddenly!"

Dizang said: "Then what are you still looking at here? Why don't you go down and look for him?"

Guanyin blushed, didn't he just recognize it...

He was a little embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject: "Are you going to send your soul to reincarnate? Why don't you go soon? Don't miss the hour!"

Dizang nodded, took out a soul lamp, and said: "That's the case, this soul is a bit special, and the book of life and death is vague. It only says that it will be reincarnated in Dongtu today. I will take this soul lamp along the way. So, I happened to meet you."

Avalokitesvara pushed him away and said, "Then go and do your work, we won't delay you, we're going to find Jin Chan too!"

Dizang held up the soul lamp, agreed, and said: "Then I'll go..." He turned around and looked at the soul lamp, and found that something was wrong. He seemed to be unable to leave?

Ksitigarbha looked at the soul lamp and frowned, Guanyin saw that he suddenly stopped moving in the middle of his sentence, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Ksitigarbha looked at the flame of the soul in the soul lamp, and saw that the flame was flying straight towards the bow of the ship. He couldn't help but wondered: "The place where this soul is going is the direction where the boat is going." What a coincidence, the black-clothed monk turned his head He asked Hongye who was looking down at the bow, "Old Ancestor, where are you going?"

Hongye got up, gave up the seats to Wukong and Bajie, and said, "We're not going to follow Uncle Jinchan, he said, there are cameras everywhere in this world, don't tell us to appear out of thin air, find a black spot later jump out and stop him."

Hongye leaned over to Dizang, saw him holding a lamp, couldn't help touching it, and said, "Why do you still bring a lamp when you go out, are you afraid of the dark?"

The flame in the soul lamp kept turning with the red leaf, he stretched out his hand to touch it, the flame suddenly increased a bit, almost wanted to pounce on him, but Hongye was startled, and said: "Why, it's still burning people!"

Ksitigarbha was also frightened, Guanyin looked at him, then at the soul lamp, then at the red leaves, and said to Ksitigarbha, "Your soul, isn't it some kind of monster? You want to take it away?"

Jizo's brows were tightly frowned, and no emotion could be seen in his dark eyes. He whispered: "Impossible, I can assure you, this is the soul of a person!"

But he watched Hongye wandering around the lamp curiously, and the flame kept pointing at Hongye, and he was not without doubts.

Guanyin had no choice but to pull away the red leaves that were about to be attached to the soul lamp, and said helplessly: "Old Ancestor, it's just a soul lamp, and the light inside is the soul of a person. If you don't want one body and two souls, it's better to stay far away." .”

Hongye let out a wow: "It's so awesome!" He pointed to the flame, and said, "This thing has been following me, is it my physical body?"

Dizang and Avalokitesvara looked at each other again, they were also a little guilty, they didn't dare to confirm or deny it, but Di Ting in Dizang's arms lazily yawned and said, "Old Ancestor, there is something else on you." The body? Quickly take it out, you have stolen the body of this soul! Give it back to others!"

Hongye was startled, touched Di and listened, and said, "The little dog has spoken!"

Di Ting rolled his eyes at him, and retracted into Jizo's very warm embrace.

Avalokitesvara suddenly realized, and said: "Old Ancestor, didn't you take Zhuang Fan's original body?"

But he suddenly realized, and said to Dizang, "Your soul, could it be that Jiang Liuer?"

Dizang was also surprised, shook his head, and said: "I didn't say that, this strange soul came into my hands not long ago, although there is a page of him in the book of life and death, but the origin and name are not clear." Woolen cloth!"

Hong Ye rubbed her chin, and said, "Why don't you try? Anyway, Master Uncle's physical body is useless to him."

Guanyin hesitated and said: "Then, will there be two Zhuang Fan?"

Hong Ye bumped him with her arm, and said with a smile, "Both are not good, one is here to serve his parents as a filial piety, and the other will go back to heaven with you!"

Guanyin blushed, bowed her head and said nothing.

Dizang was very serious and said: "Old Ancestor, no matter what, you take out that fleshy body, let me try it! When the flame comes here, it will follow you all the time. Presumably his chance must be on you. Even if it's not the physical body of Senior Brother Jin Chan, it's something else."

Hongye scratched her head, thought for a while, and said, "Go ahead, try it!" If it works, just use it as waste!

He took out the body that Zhuang Fan threw to him, and laid it flat on the boat. He saw that the body was warm, and in the extremely cold night, white gas was slowly emitting from it. Dizang held the soul lamp in his hand. Throwing it out of thin air, the soul lamp instantly became radiant, exuding endless light of life, and then, like a shooting star, it flew across the night sky in an instant, went straight to the physical body, entered from the forehead, and disappeared.

Hong Ye clicked her tongue twice and said, "Wait for him to get up and ask, who is this soul?"

Ksitigarbha stopped Guanyin and Hongye and said, "Don't move, it's not over yet!"

The three of them lowered their heads and saw that after absorbing the soul, the body emitted bursts of star light, dazzling people's eyes, even Wukong and Bajie at the bow of the boat were startled, and they also turned to look.

Under the gaze of five pairs of eyes, the light dissipated, the clothes were scattered on the ground, and the physical body was gone!

Hongye's eyes widened, and she said, "Where's the person?"

Avalokitesvara was also stunned: this night, he became alive twice before his eyes!Let no one live! !

Ksitigarbha wasn't worried, he just said: "This body has its own chance, everyone, I should go back to the underworld, so farewell!" After saying that, he saluted eleven, disappeared in the blink of an eye, and returned to Yinshan Mountain.

Hong Ye was furious, she jumped up and said, "My good boy, don't tell me to catch you!"

Avalokitesvara fell down on the board of the boat and reached out to pick up the clothes left by her body, but when she touched them, the clothes instantly turned into fly ash and were blown away by the cold wind.

Hongye was very happy, at this moment, Wukong pulled Bajie and walked over, saying: "Uncle, brother, what's the matter?"How did Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva go? "

Just now the two little ones focused on looking at the master, his master staggered and swayed, and even picked the ice surface to make a slippery ride, the two of them were so worried that they didn't bother to pay attention to this side.

Avalokitesvara stood up and said in a daze: "Ksitigarbha just brought a soul and said that he would be sent to be reincarnated, but the soul flame pointed at the ancestor and refused to let go. I remembered your master's body, so I asked the ancestor to take it out and try it. , after the flame was thrown into the flesh body, the flesh body disappeared..."

Today, he really made a wrong step, every step was wrong, he was in the sky at that time, why was he obsessed with ghosts, and insisted on reminding Zhuang Fan about going home, if he didn't say that, maybe they are still in the sky at this time Woolen cloth……

Seeing that Avalokitesvara was in a low mood and was about to cry again, Wukong had a headache, so he quickly comforted him and said, "Master, what are you afraid of? Yes, don’t be sad, let’s go and see him, the main road he’s walking on now has lights, and when we get down to a secluded path, we can stop him!”

Bajie also took Guanyin's hand and shook it, saying: "Master, don't cry anymore, my master won't care about this!"

Guanyin was comforted by the two children, forced a smile, wiped away tears, rubbed the little monkey and the little fat man, and said: "Okay, listen to you!"

Only then did Hongye calm down, dare to speak, and explained: "Hehe, in fact, I should be the one who should be afraid. Uncle Master entrusted me with the physical body for safekeeping. After all, I lost it."

Guanyin smiled and said: "I'm fine. Old Zumo is worried. Let's stop him. It's midnight and there is no one on the road, so it's easy to talk."

The four of them went to chase Zhuang Fan again, but who knew that he was still having fun on the road just now, and he didn't know where he went because of a wrong eye. Fortunately, the four of them had good eyesight in the snow, so what? After walking around, I found Zhuang Fan who was squatting there beside the snowdrift on the side of the road.

But Zhuang Fan, who was freezing in the snow just now, turned around and ran a few steps, his body became warm again, so he changed his mind and didn't rush back. He just wandered around in this small village. In high school, he seldom went home, and he became more and more unfamiliar with this small village that he had been familiar with since he was a child.

Traveling to Datang this time, speaking of it, he hadn’t been back for two years in his memory, so Zhuang Fan wanted to wander around the village alone on this quiet but noisy night.

Unexpectedly, after he had walked for a while, he heard a cry that sounded like a kitten. At first, Zhuang Fan thought he was hallucinating, but he didn't care, but the cry became clearer and clearer, and Zhuang Fan couldn't help but stop Stop your feet, no longer make the snow creak and creak, and prick your ears to listen...

Hey, there is indeed a sound!

He walked in the direction of the sound, and saw a huge snowdrift piled up on the side of the road. Under the snowdrift, a hole was dug out by the children in the village. At this time, a cardboard box was placed in the hole. That cry came from the cardboard box.

Zhuang Fan felt compassionate, and thought that at least it was a life, so he picked it up and saw if it could be saved, and asked his parents to keep it, and catch mice for the family!

He walked over, squatted beside the snowdrift, stretched out his hand, and pulled the cardboard box out.

As a result, Zhuang Fan was dumbfounded when he lifted the small quilt covering the cardboard box.

Inside the cardboard box, there was a little milk cat lying there, but it was a dancing fat baby, crying with its eyes closed.

On this cold day, the doll was naked and naked, which made Zhuang Fan's heart ache. Feeling the thin and cold quilt, he quickly took off his down jacket, wrapped the little doll up and hugged her When I got up, I wanted to run home.

Hongye and the others had been lingering in the sky for a long time, and now they saw that there were no lights on this small street, and there were people's backyards on the left and right. It was very empty and there were no people, so they quickly lowered the boat and blocked Zhuang Fan's way.

In the dark, Zhuang Fan lowered his head and only looked at the child again. He was colliding with Hong Ye when the ground slipped. hold up.

Leng Buding saw many people appearing in front of him, Zhuang Fan was startled, said "Oh my god", and after a closer look, he recognized everyone, he was surprised and delighted at once, and said, "How did you find me!"

Then he asked Guanyin, Wukong and Bajie, "How did you get down?" He looked up at the sky, and asked in doubt, "Is this barrier broken?"

Hongye hugged her arms and said with a smile: "The enchantment is good, uncle, Guanyin was brought down by you yourself, you have forgotten? Wukong and Wuneng were brought here by me. Anyway, they have become smaller and can be tough Pull it over, it's not too much trouble!"

Zhuang Fan was overjoyed, holding the child in one hand, and holding Guanyin in the other, said: "I fainted at that time, I thought you stayed on the side of the barrier, but you came down, how can you go back later? I don't know It can fly!"

Avalokitesvara looked into Zhuang Fan's shining eyes. Although this face had been changed many times, but this time, he was very sure that this was indeed his golden cicada, the lazy one by the lotus pond at the foot of the Lingshan Mountain back then. A young man who looks like he doesn't care about anything, but every time he sees him, he always smiles warmly...

Guanyin couldn't help crying, choked up and said: "You are fine, it's fine, I will follow you from now on, if you don't go back, what's the matter!"

Zhuang Fan laughed, wiped away his tears, and said, "Don't cry, you're not afraid!"

After comforting Avalokitesvara, Zhuang Fan began to push his disciples away, saying: "Master is fine, and now he is home too. Wait for Wukong and Bajie to go back to the heavens first. You all have errands on your body now, so don't delay."

What are the monkeys and Xiaopang doing? They finally got down, and the idiots went back!Immediately shrunk into a little doll, hugged the master's thigh and acted like a baby, and groaned for a long time, Zhuang Fan was so tortured that he could only promise the child to stay, but he finally told him that this world is different from the past, and ordinary people are more capable. There are cameras and surveillance everywhere, and you must not show abnormalities in the open air in front of and behind people.

Houzi and Bajie quickly nodded and said, "Master, don't worry, the eldest brother taught us everything on the way we came! In fact, we have been watching from the sky since you left the house. If you hadn't been walking on the street, we would have If you don’t dare to act rashly, you will come down a long time ago!”

Seeing everyone happy, Zhuang Fan forgot how stupid he was just now. He patted each other's heads and said, "Good boy!" Then he said to Hong Ye, "Thank you for your hard work!"

Hong Ye waved her hand and said, "It's okay, it's hard work!"

Zhuang Fan said: "Then do you stay on the ground for a while, or go back first?"

Hong Ye smiled and said: "Who dares to stay, the incident happened suddenly, the sky is about to explode at this time, I will go back and send everyone a letter to make them feel at ease!"

Wukong tugged at Hongye's sleeves, and said: "Brother, you're back, and sit in Huaguo Mountain for a while for me, and Bajie's errand, you just resign for him!"

Hong Ye rubbed her chin, and said: "It's nothing to worry about, wrap it on me, and have fun down there!"

Then he turned and flew away.

Everyone watched him go away, and watched Hongye's boat disappear into the vast night. Zhuang Fan and Guanyin held hands and looked at each other with a smile. Suddenly Zhuang Fan shivered and sneezed a lot.

Guanyin was taken aback, and said, "Why are you freezing? Why are you holding your clothes in your arms?"

Zhuang Fan pulled out his hand, wiped his nose, and said: "For some reason, I fell from the sky and changed back to my original body, and then suddenly became a mortal again, and I can't resist the cold. It's just that I just picked up a doll !"

He carefully opened a corner of the down jacket and asked Guanyin to take a look. When Guanyin heard the word "baby", his heart skipped a beat. When he took a look, he knew it in his heart. He only sighed and did not speak.

Wukong and Bajie couldn't stand this kung fu, they ran to a distant ice surface, imitating their master and skating, laughing and laughing, but didn't notice this side.

Zhuang Fan looked at the sleeping face of the little doll, and said in a low voice, "Look, how cute it is, the parents are so cruel, they throw it away as soon as they say..." While they were talking, the little doll was very quiet. , it turned out to be asleep...

Guanyin hesitated to speak, thought for a while and said, "Zhuang Fan, what are you going to do with this child?"

Zhuang Fan froze, wrapped the child up again, so as not to blow the wind, and said: "The parents of this child must lose it because they don't want him. What should I do... find the parents of the child first? Subsidize them with some money and let them take it away." Take the child back? If no one wants it, then, it can only be raised..."

Guanyin sighed and said, "Zhuang Fan, you can't find the parents of this child?"

Zhuang Fan was stunned, and said, "Why? How do you know?"

Guanyin lowered her head, looked at the small black down jacket bag, and said in a low voice, "This child is the son of your parents in body, and the son of Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao in soul. Zhuang Fan, he is Jiang Liuer..." Just said the matter.

There was a buzzing in Zhuang Fan's head, his mouth grew wide, and he was about to speak, but it was so cold that he sneezed three or four times before he could say anything!

Guanyin quickly put her hands on his back, pinched a formula to dispel the cold for him, and said: "You go home first, it's too cold outside, don't worry about the child, if you don't want to raise it, take it from a distance Just send him away!"

The coldness dissipated, Zhuang Fan shivered, he thought for a while, and said: "Before, I took his life away, but now I return the body to him, it is also a cycle of karma. I robbed his parents, and now , give him a complete home..."

Guanyin asked in surprise, "You want to adopt him?"

Zhuang Fan hissed, looked at the two brothers who were starting a snowball fight over there, and said in a low voice, "You haven't mentioned Jiang Liu'er to Wukong, have you? He doesn't remember the last trip to the west, right?" ?”

Avalokitesvara shook her head, and said: "No one has told him about it, but I don't know if I know anything after Wukong became a saint..."

Zhuang Fan whispered: "Then keep it a secret for me, don't mention this matter to Wukong."

After thinking about it, he said again: "Who knows about Jiang Liu'er?"

Avalokitesvara thought for a while, and said: "Ksitigarbha just came to send the soul lamp, saying that there was no name in the book of life and death, and he didn't know who it was. I raised my mouth and asked if it was Jiang Liuer. Dizang said he didn't know either." , At that time, Patriarch Hongye was beside you, Wukong and Bajie were looking at you, so I didn't know."

Zhuang Fan listened, heaved a sigh of relief, and sighed: "What happened yesterday, yesterday is over, one bodhi is enough for Wukong to be sad, don't bring up Jiang Liuer's old things, or you will make Wukong sad again."

Avalokitesvara smiled and said: "I see, you just wish Wukong had only you as a master!"

Zhuang Fan said with a smile: "That's right, my apprentice is so good, I wouldn't be willing to give any of them to anyone!"

Suddenly he said: "Oh, just now I forgot to ask Hongye to come down to deliver a letter to us in a few days! Wu Wang doesn't know if he has returned home. I saw Wu You just now, and I didn't say a few words to the child properly. The caramel cake has a name! And Mao Mao... Red Boy... Yuan Sheng'er brought rhubarb when he came, I don't know if the other little lions are good..." Rory was talking, and took each child one by one. Say it again.

Guanyin smiled and said: "Hurry up and put it away, I really don't have enough to worry about, they are all fine! You go home quickly, I will take Wukong and Bajie to find a place to stay, you can go out tomorrow, come find us again!"

Zhuang Fan was disconcerted, and said: "Okay!" He pointed out to Guanyin: "The river to the north of the village is another country. Don't go there. There is a mountain to the east. Now the mountain is covered by heavy snow. If there are people living there, you should live there, but remember, it’s better to hide your body when you go back and forth, and I will go to find you tomorrow, and then I will tell you some common sense!"

As Zhuang Fan said, he began to worry about how to get the identities of these three people. He sighed and said, "I don't know if Wukong, a saint, can make an ID card. Without this thing, you can't move a single step, and you can't get here Please enjoy your life..."

Avalokitesvara saw that he was chattering, and was about to start nagging again, so he hurriedly said: "Don't come to us tomorrow, the mountain road is not easy to walk, I will pick you up. Now you go back quickly, the child can't stand the cold, let's wait It’s time to wake up and eat! Let’s go!”

Only then did Zhuang Fan wake up, and gave Guanyin the ice cream and poker, and ran away quickly. Wukong and Bajie chased after a few steps, and Guanyin stopped him. The two children were not very happy, and followed their uncle in dejection. Shaped to go to the mountains.

Zhuang Fan trotted all the way back to his aunt's house, pushed open the doors of the inner and outer rooms, saw that everyone was still there, and didn't leave, but the little ones had probably gone to bed, so he went straight to his mother, panting Sitting quietly in front of the old lady, he said, "Mom, I'm back!"

The old lady concentrated on drawing cards and ignored him, but Zhuang Fan's aunt, who was replaced at this time, was sitting behind his mother looking at the cards, and said: "Why are you running and jolting, Gaha cut? Go here for a long time?"

The auntie looked at the down jacket in Zhuang Fan's arms, and said: "I bought something and wrapped it in clothes, you are not cold! You are such a silly boy with great firepower. See if Lao Yang is there, where is he?"

Zhuang Fan chuckled, and said, "Auntie, look, the second grandpa is feeding the dog at home, I bought two poker cards, a few ice creams, and just ran away halfway!"

Zhuang Fan's mother just finished drawing the cards, turned to stare at him, and said: "You are so stupid, why are you running away? The ground is still slippery, and we can't lose things in our village. Where did you fall? Go to tomorrow morning." get back."

Zhuang Fan whispered: "Mom, I was so scared, I forgot where I lost it!" He had already given it to Guanyin, where can I find it.

The old lady yelled: "To Kai! It's on!" She played her cards again and said casually, "I've been so timid since I was a child. Why did you scare me like that? You don't even wear a down jacket! People say Silly and bold, where do you put your courage!"

All the women in the room laughed. Zhuang Fan had no choice but to think that your son's courage is getting bigger, but he didn't dare to talk back, and said with a smile: "Mom, look, what can I pick up!"

The old lady concentrated on playing cards and ignored him. Aunt Zhuang Fan came over and said, "What are you picking up, no one is wicked, so throw the kitten and puppy outside!"

A sister-in-law said: "I didn't hear that the female cat and female dog gave birth again. What did Fanzi pick up? A gold chain?"

A group of women gathered around to watch the fun, chattering loudly, Zhuang Fan hurriedly said: "Shhhh, keep your voice down, wake me up!"

He went to lift his clothes, and some people gossiped: "What's wrong? This boss doesn't look like a kitten or a puppy, is he picking up a tiger cub?"

Someone hurriedly booed her: "Noisy! Fanzi said it, keep your voice down!"

The room was steaming hot, and he couldn't wear thick clothes. Zhuang Fan slowly opened the down jacket, smiled, and said, "Mom, I'll pick you a son!"

In the black down jacket, there was a chubby little doll with arms and legs like lotus root joints, perhaps dazzled by the incandescent lamp, with a small mouth nudging, humming, raising its small fist, kicking its legs, Continue to sleep soundly.
