Tang Seng is a cook

Zhuang Fan looked back and saw that they were two branches of fresh peaches. It was autumn now, and he didn't know where the monkey picked them. He picked them up and saw that the branches were full of fruits. The peaches were huge, bright red and fluffy. They were delicious and juicy at first glance. , Sweet and delicious.

Zhuang Fan wondered, such good peaches could not grow in this mountain, and even if there were, they would be ruined if no one took care of them.

He looked around, the sky was getting dark, the gold was falling, the mountain wind was howling, he didn't even see a monkey's hair, the shadows of the trees were mottled, the strange wind gusts, the bonfire under the stove was shaking, and the huge shadow behind him was about to pounce, which was strange. of.

Zhuang Fan couldn't help feeling a little flustered in his heart, he pulled his neck and shouted: "Your disciple has dinner, come back quickly!"

The only response to him was the sound of the wind and the howling of wolves in the distance.

The white horse tethered next to it couldn't help but make two noises and snort.

Zhuang Fan trembled in his heart, wondering if the monkey looked at Taozi and became homesick, so he went home now?

Just now on the road, when Monkey talked about Huaguo Mountain, he said that he would give Monkey a family leave and let him go back to Huaguo Mountain to see a group of monkeys, big and small. After all, 500 years have passed, even if there is no Erlang God and the Great Sage In that battle, without a strong backer, how could a group of little monkeys with slender arms and legs defend such a blessed place?

Waiting and waiting for the monkeys to come back, Zhuang Fan was also a little hungry. Seeing that a large portion of tiger meat had been fried and heated in a stone pot, another tiger leg was roasting on the bonfire, and the porridge was also warming. The roasted surface was golden and crispy, Zhuang Fan decided to eat it first.

He washed a peach first, and it turned out to be a good peach, very ripe and very sweet, and the skin fell off when he flicked it lightly with his hands.

Zhuang Fan gnawed his hands full of juice and ate to his heart's content. He drank a few mouthfuls of millet porridge, ate half a pancake, and his stomach was half full. Then he stretched out his chopsticks and planned to grab a piece of tiger meat. Sister Guanyin.

He never thought that the tiger meat was in his mouth, and before he could chew a mouthful, there was another thud behind him, which made him lose the meat in fright.

Zhuang Fan looked back: Heh!What a majestic Monkey King!

I saw a small dusty bundle thrown on the ground, and Wukong had already changed his attire: he was wearing a purple gold crown with phoenix wings on his head, a golden armor with locks on his body, and he was walking with a stick on his feet. , The end is majestic and majestic, full of evil spirits.

It's over!Zhuang Fan covered his face, just chatting, he said to the monkey: "Since there is a cloak gifted by the Dragon King, why don't you wear it?"

Wukong replied: "Since being captured by God Erlang, he wore the pipa bone and was taken off his cloak. I don't know who took it away."

At that time Zhuang Fan sighed: "It's a pity that my apprentice wears good clothes. You were sent by Guanyin to protect me to the west, but the Bodhisattva didn't even say to compensate you."

Zhuang Fan just said it in passing, but he remembered the case of the golden hoop later, and reminded the monkey.Who would have thought that this guy is so straight-minded, I'm afraid he must have given him peaches just now, and then ran to Nanhai Guanyin in a flash, and I don't know if the Bodhisattva was half-dead by this monkey.

But Zhuang Fan reckoned that if he was sister Guanyin, he would never want to see this monkey again tonight.

Forget it, since sister Guanyin can't come, then eat meat.

The master and apprentice began to eat around the campfire.

The monkey ran hundreds of thousands of miles in one afternoon, and did not dare to stay long when returning to Huaguo Mountain. Although the Huaguo Mountain was withered and the little monkey was bullied, he had no time to take care of it. He took two good peaches from the cave to his master, and he turned around and went to Putuoluojia Mountain in the South China Sea to file a complaint. After being thrown and rolled, Guanyin couldn't resist, so he agreed to take care of a group of monkeys and grandchildren for him, and begged for his own Putting on the clothes, I hurried back to Liangjie Mountain, and hurried forward all the way, the one who climbed the mountains and crossed the sea to take off, is now very hungry.

The monkey gobbled it up and didn't care to talk to him, so Zhuang Fan didn't ask any more questions, but slowly added porridge and vegetables to him from the sidelines. After eating all the tiger legs, Zhuang Fan hurriedly roasted another one for him, but the onion and garlic were gone, and he only sprinkled some salt. A peach just gave up.

No matter how much Zhuang Fan had, he refused to let him eat, fearing that he would eat too much in the cold, and his stomach would hurt in the middle of the night, so it was rare for the monkey to listen to it.

After eating, drinking and washing, Zhuang Fan moved the bonfire and prepared to lay down the bedding to rest. The monkey wanted to do it, but was stopped by Zhuang Fan: "When have you done this before? Let's see, next time you come."

Only then did the great sage stop his thoughts of serving the master, and watched obediently from the side.

Slow and fast, Zhuang Fan started another bonfire in a short while, and spread the luggage in the original place, which was simple and simple. The master and the apprentice were warmed by the fire, and their bodies were hot, so they could make do.

Zhuang Fan originally wanted the Great Sage to turn the golden cudgel into a tent to shield the two of them from the wind, but then he thought about it, he should be more honest, he might go back tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, and don’t want to cause trouble for Tang Seng, so he kept silent. He quietly twirled the Buddha beads and warmed himself by the fire, as if he was chanting sutras, but in fact his eyes were empty and dull, and all kinds of thoughts came to him but he couldn't grasp any of them.

The monkey is full of worries and only has one thing on his mind, only thinking about his own nest of monkeys and grandchildren in the Huaguo Mountain and Water Curtain Cave. Although he has asked Guanyin to take care of him, after all, he has no friendship with Guanyin except for the matter of traveling west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and he does not know that Guanyin will come. He will not procrastinate or even be careless, but it is a pity that such a blessed place is now in dilapidated condition, and most of his monkeys and grandchildren have been killed or injured, and he is still alive today.

The poor great sage was full of worries and worries, and couldn't sleep, but that Zhuang Fan didn't reach Ye Cangeng Leu Yue's head on the willow tree, so he stuck his head in Wu Kong's arms, resting on his disciple's thigh, whistling reassuringly and boldly Sleep will pass.

The monkey felt his thighs sink, and came back to his senses. Seeing that the master fell asleep on his back in the blink of an eye, his belly was upside down and his body was completely lost.

Seeing Tang Monk shivering in the middle of the night, he had to take off his scarlet cloak, wrap Tang Monk tightly, leaned over and threw some firewood in, and then used the golden cudgel to fan the bonfire vigorously.

When the sky was dark, the birds were singing and chirping, and the monkeys couldn't stand the sleepiness, so they sat upright with their eyelids slightly closed, and took a nap.

After a while, he felt light on his leg, the monkey didn't move, his eyelids slightly lifted, and saw his master slowly getting up like a thief, his movements were slightly sneaky, he clumsily struggled to loosen the monkey's tight wrap around him. The cloak lightly covered him again, and he quietly put on his shoes, and tremblingly tiptoed, carrying a water pot and corn, and walked towards the stream.

The monkey took a sniff and found that there was no smell of wild beasts or monsters within a hundred miles, so he relaxed, spread his body on the luggage, and fell into a deep sleep.

When the scorching sun came out and the Great Sage woke up, Zhuang Fan had already washed, boiled the water, boiled the rice porridge, and baked the dry food. It is not suitable to eat meat in the early morning, and Zhuang Fan was also wary of eating meat when he saw Guanyin. For the first time, the master and the apprentice only drank porridge and ate pancakes, and had a vegetarian breakfast that could no longer be vegetarian.

Not to mention that Zhuang Fan hesitated after breakfast and didn't know whether he should move on, but also said that Luojia Mountain in the South China Sea suddenly had a bad guest yesterday.

That day, the great sage was holding his master by the hand, and hanging on to the monkey and his grandson, and hurried on the road, riding the clouds in a hurry, and when he arrived at the door of the Bodhisattva's house, he lost a straw sandal.

The monkey couldn't wait for Tong'er to come to his senses, he held a golden cudgel and ran all the way in front of Avalokitesvara in the Purple Bamboo Forest.

The Bodhisattva asked the dragon girl to serve tea, and said to himself: "Where did Wukong come from? Today is the right time for you to get out of trouble. Why don't you keep your word and let Monk Tang go west to learn scriptures? What are you doing here?"

Although the great sage was wild and unruly, he had to salute patiently and said, "I have met the Bodhisattva. I have spoken kindly to the Bodhisattva, but today I met the master and removed the pressure stick, saving my disciple's life. It wasn't because the disciple didn't keep his words, it was because the disciple talked to his master about staying at the foot of the mountain for 500 years after he got out of trouble. After a long time, I took advantage of the sharpening just now, settled down with the master, and returned to Huaguo Mountain in a somersault, but who knew that I was in the mountain..."

When he said this, he choked up and couldn't speak, turned his head and wiped away his tears a few times, then turned around and bowed down to worship: "My old grandson was rescued by Bodhisattvas, and Elder Tang never gave up, and was able to escape from Wuzhishan. My disciples should do their best to protect themselves." Tang Seng went to the west, but only returned to Huaguo Mountain. Seeing the monkeys and monkey grandchildren was really miserable. Wanwang Bodhisattva was merciful and merciful. "

The Bodhisattva was not angry when he heard the words of the great sage. He just tapped him a little with his fly whisk, and ignored him. He leaned forward, parted the clouds, and looked down, only to see that the flowers and plants on the Huaguo Mountain were all withered. , The mountain springs were cut off, the hills collapsed, the trees were scorched, and there was a team of Orion, more than a thousand people, all with hawks and dogs, holding knives and guns, trying to go to the mountains to encircle a group of monkeys and monkey grandchildren.

At that time there were tens of thousands of living beings in Huaguo Mountain, but now there is not one out of ten. It is really pitiful. The Bodhisattva was sympathetic, and could not help feeling compassionate, and said: "If one day obeyed the will of heaven and did not fight fiercely, how could such disasters happen to future generations? ? That’s all, it’s up to you.”

The monkey was overjoyed, bowed and bowed, "Thank you Bodhisattva."

Seeing that he didn't move, Guanyin seemed to have some unfinished intentions, but he said helplessly: "What else is there? Tell me at the same time, you are so aggressive, why hesitate."

Great Sage, upon hearing this, he leaned closer and whispered: "Good Bodhisattva, look at my grandson, who has been buried in the earth for 500 years, and has no silk or penniless on his body. That Tang monk is also very poor. , if the Bodhisattva has clothes, can you give me a gift? Hey, since I have sent my grandson on an errand, I have to give my disciple some travel expenses, right?"

The Bodhisattva was so angry that he couldn't laugh or cry, he just said: "This monkey!" Asked the dragon girl to bring a package, threw it out of thin air, and said: "Only these, nothing else." Then he said, "Go, go! It's all right Don't come!"

Wukong himself didn't want to delay too long, he took the package out of the purple bamboo forest, turned somersault on the cloud head, and went straight to the master.On the way, I unpacked my luggage and saw that I was the only one wearing a cloak.

Worried about Tang Seng's situation, the Great Sage hurried on his way while dressing. He took off the clothes that Tang Seng gave him before, rolled up another bundle, jumped with a stick, and carried it on his shoulders.

Wukong didn't mention it as he was on his way, but he said that Guanyin, since Wukong had promised to return to Huaguo Mountain, there was no reason not to do so. He sent the monkey away. Go to Huaguo Mountain.

But for a moment and a half, temporarily staying in Yuntou above Huaguo Mountain, holding a willow branch, dipped in a jade bottle of water, flung it out, and turned it into sweet dew, washing Huaguo Mountain up and down, and reviving it: Elms and willows, followed by pine trees, peaches, plums, jujubes, apples and pineapples, all kinds of fruits are available, and in autumn, the trees are full of fruits, which stunned the monkeys.

There are also mountain springs and waterfalls, reappearing in the mountains, and the big and small monkeys are so happy that they are scratching their ears and scratching their cheeks.

He also ordered the dragon girl Muzha to drive away the hunters, and set up strange stones and willows around Huaguo Mountain, and miasma and mire. Here again, you can be at ease and live in peace and contentment.

Huaguo Mountain covers a vast area, and was so busy that the dragon girl Bing Muzha's eyes stared straight and her mana was exhausted. It was about midnight before it came to an end. The Bodhisattva brought her back to the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea. I owed the two of them a great favor, and I will only wait for an opportunity to repay it later.
