Tang Seng is a cook

Just as Wukong finished speaking, without mentioning how Zhuang Fan reacted, the Lady Bone just smiled bitterly, and sighed helplessly: "Sure enough, the authorities are confused, and the bystanders are clear. It's a pity that I am still running around asking for help, trying to use my own strength to fight against the cycle of heaven. What a shame!" It's ridiculous!"

What kind of elixir is he looking for, what extension of life is he looking for, as early as the moment he dies on the battlefield, he should return to ashes and ashes to ashes.

Bone Essence spread his hands and looked at the delicate and clean palm of his wife. The palm lines were chaotic and blurred. In fact, he didn't remember all the details about his wife, so what if he missed her every day? Everything has already been slowly erased from memory.

His face seemed sad, as if nostalgic, and he was speechless for a while.

Zhuang Fan was also weighed down by this situation, the two of them hadn't spoken for a long time, only the little skeleton spirits in the cave were still chirping and playing.

Mrs. Bone was silent for a while, shook her head, got up, turned into a prototype, her armor rotted, fell down, bent down and clasped her fists to salute Zhuang Fan: "I knew that there would be only this day, now I don't have anything else to ask for. I just ask the holy monk, for the sake of the miserable fate of these little girls, to delay for a while on the westbound road, and take care of these children in the lower cave!"

Seeing that he was disheartened, Zhuang Fan started to put on Gu's posture, he couldn't help feeling a little flustered, and hurriedly said: "General, why are you doing this, things may turn around before the last moment?"

He is a fake Tang monk, and he can't read a few scriptures. How can he take care of this group of little skeletons?

Recite the rebirth mantra for them to save them?

He will not.

Take them to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?

When he arrived at Lingshan, the Buddha would probably spit him out...

Zhuang Fan thought for a while, but he had no idea, turned his head and asked his apprentice, "Wukong, do you think the Bodhisattva will take care of this matter?" Probably he can only hand over this chaos to the first support of Journey to the West logistics.

Wukong secretly said that it was not good, and his master committed another crime of kindness, but the great sage did not want to embarrass his master after all. After thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "That Bodhisattva in the South China Sea can't help it. Hey, maybe you can think of something to pay attention to?"

Zhuang Fan was taken aback, and said, "You mean Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva?"

Wukong nodded, and said: "After all, the white bones are different from the group of little demons in his cave, and the other goblins. After death, the resentment and resentment of the unjust souls attached to the bones were transformed, and they were cultivated into spirits. Speaking of which, the bones are just souls. They are the souls of the dead, so it is perfect to find people from the underworld! Even if the Bodhisattva does not come, it is enough to send a messenger to summon the souls of these little demons."

Zhuang Fan thought about it for a while, he was not very familiar with the procedures and official positions in the underworld, but he still remembered a little bit about receiving and guiding the envoys, so he asked: "Wukong, if it's just to summon the soul, I'm afraid there is no need to disturb the Bodhisattva, it's just that these children, each Being murdered by relatives at a young age, compared to ordinary death in vain, I am afraid that I am even more afraid. The messengers, you said, are black and white impermanent, and they have a kind temper?"

Wukong nodded, and said: "The last time my grandson's birthday came, the ones who came to pick him up were Lao Fan and Lao Xie. I don't know if they have been promoted in the past few years. They are probably the two of them. They really Dress up weirdly, mortals are afraid of death, fear is normal, I don’t know what my temperament is, but I didn’t see them talking to me after I made a scene in the underworld.

After hearing this, Zhuang Fan couldn't help but blacken his face again.

Hearing this, the Bone Essence gave a wry smile and said: "The holy monk and the great sage don't know something. All the people in this cave, including myself, are unwilling to go to the underworld to reincarnate because of the heavy resentment. Later, I wandered around the world for a long time. They are all raised by heaven and earth, not to mention black and white impermanence, even little ghosts from the underworld, when they pass by my cave, they have to go around. I dare not even think about it, and I can't climb up to people."

The Great Sage laughed when he heard this, and said to the Bone Essence: "My old grandson has made up his mind, opened his mouth, and naturally took care of it, you stay here with my master for a while, my old man Sun will go to the underworld for you and find someone!"

Zhuang Fan was a little worried, and whispered: "Wukong, the last time you went to the underworld, you only told the master that they never troubled you, and you will disturb them this time. Will they bring up the old matter again?" After all, the apprentice is To find something for others.

Wukong comforted him: "Master, they came to collect this wandering soul from the world, and it's considered a merit to bring it back. It's just because these little monsters have a lot of grievances and have a lot of cultivation, the people in the underworld don't want to take the initiative to provoke them. After all, they also If you don’t want to be beaten for nothing, there’s no point in it. Now that the ones in this cave are the ones who decide to send these wandering souls to reincarnation, how can the people of the underworld not want to take the credit for nothing? Don’t worry, don’t worry!”

Zhuang Fan nodded after listening.

The bone spirit was also overjoyed, although he was nervous, he still thanked him solemnly: "As long as the great sage can get someone from the underworld, I will guarantee that my child in the cave will be obedient!"

For them, being able to reincarnate is the best ending, otherwise, after he leaves, they will be left unprotected, and they will continue to wander, and even lose their souls?

Zhuang Fan let out a long sigh, looking at those little skeleton spirits who were happily playing Cuju, he felt very uncomfortable, and told Wukong: "Wukong, go to the underworld, be polite to them. If you need to arrange up and down, the things in your place, Go ahead and use it, if it’s not enough, turn around and ask Master to ask Guanyin Bodhisattva, don’t cause those children to be harsh because of this!”

The white bone was listening, with a face of shame, he was poor in the cave and had nothing, which caused the holy monk to spend money for him.

Wukong nodded and said: "Master, I understand, don't worry, I won't make trouble with them! My old grandson is also a person who knows how to ask for help." Besides, the last time he went to the underworld, he found that the master didn't know where to go. Zang has a lot of grievances and grievances, and Ksitigarbha actually took good care of him, so there is no need to be afraid of this trip.

Zhuang Fan patted the monkey on the shoulder, pulled him aside, and said apologetically, "Master has troubled you! At that time, I only asked you to accompany Master to learn Buddhist scriptures, but I didn't ask you to run errands for Master's good intentions."

The monkey grinned and said, "Master, why did you say this? Could it be possible that this happened? Even if the merits of Master alone are not enough, my old grandson is not such a cruel villain. Master is here with my younger brother later, I will go come!"

Saying this, the monkey hissed and pushed the bone spirit aside, and said to him: "Go farther away! Don't drop your rags and hit my master!" Then he took the golden cudgel and gave the master and Bajie a stroke. Daquaner said: "Master, you can rest assured here, don't come out, this disciple will leave now!"

After all, he turned over and fell into a somersault cloud, and disappeared in a blink of an eye!

It provoked a group of little skeleton spirits to raise their necks one after another, exclaiming in amazement: "Wow~ a monkey flew away!"

Zhuang Fan told Hou Zi that he couldn't laugh or cry, he thought that since you are wary of others, don't be so explicit, the master will be anxious later, what should we do?

Thinking of this, Bajie quickly swallowed the last bite of the big cake, wiped his hands on the monk's robe, and said cautiously: "Master, I will put the screen on, you can rest for a while!"

He took out three or four screens from his sleeve, followed the circle drawn by his brother monkey, surrounded Zhuang Fan in an impenetrable way, then took out a rocking chair and put it away, calling Master to sit, Zhuang Fan had no choice but to sit, Bajie took out a blanket to cover the master again, took out water and food, heated it with a real fire and handed it to the master.

Really from top to bottom, the service is meticulous.

Seeing that, the bone spirit quickly turned into Mrs. Bone, walked into the hall, called the little skeleton spirits to be quiet, and led them to play outside the cave. Even the big wild boar was captured by several powerful little skeletons. Jing even pulled the strap and dragged it out.

The cave was quiet for a while, Zhuang Fan was coaxed by Ba Jie to eat and drink enough, where he was sitting, there was a midday sun shining in, the spring sun was warm, Zhuang Fan was full and sleepy, and he was tired from the journey, so he fell asleep past.

Seeing that the master had fallen asleep, Bajie breathed a sigh of relief, patted his chest softly, slipped to sit on the stone bench just now, tilted his head and rested his chin, and dozed off.

It is true that the great sage traveled all the way, and arrived at the underworld in a blink of an eye.

The Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha listened to the case, but he knew that the monkey was coming again. He stretched his waist with a smile and got up, wagging his tail, and came to the Bodhisattva who was counting beads and chanting sutras, and stretched out a chubby monkey. Putting his front paw on the Bodhisattva's knee, he yelled happily: "Wow!"

The Bodhisattva stopped the rosary, slightly opened his long and narrow eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in the dark eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly pursed, and he said softly: "Why are you so happy? It's been a long time since you acted like a baby!"

Di Ting said happily: "The monkey is here, we have something to do!"

Only then did Dizang completely open his long and narrow eyes, revealing infinitely bright starlight, and he smiled faintly, "Are you so happy to see him in trouble?"

Di Ting flicked his tail, pressed his paw on Dizang's knee hard, and said angrily, "You know I don't mean it!"

Dizang patted Di Ting's dog's head reassuringly, and said softly, "Okay, okay, you are the best. Let's go!"

Only then did Di Ting retract his front paws contentedly, put the rosary in Dizang's hand on the desk, and pulled the hem of his clothes forward.

When we arrived at the Desenluo Palace, the monkey hadn't come yet. Today, the ten kings were on duty. King Qin Guang saw the Bodhisattva coming, and hurriedly came to salute, and asked, "I don't know if the Bodhisattva is here, but what can I order?"

Dizang waved his hand and said, "It's nothing, but the monkey is coming again, so I'm afraid you might panic, so come and have a look."

King Qin Guang knew that Di Ting under the Ksitigarbha case was the most well-informed person in the world, so he was not surprised, and said, "Then Xiao Wang will avoid it for a while?"

Ksitigarbha smiled slightly and said, "It's not here to make trouble this time, don't be afraid!"

King Qin Guang wiped his sweat, feeling very embarrassed, thinking that the monkey is really not easy to mess with, and he will be beaten and killed if he speaks poorly. No matter what his reason is, probably only a Bodhisattva can entertain the monkey so calmly .

It's just that it's inconvenient for him to inquire. I don't know why the great sage came to their underworld instead of protecting Tang Monk to go west. He didn't come to make trouble, so what could he do?

King Qin Guang was muttering up and down in his heart, when he saw a little ghost rushing in, he panicked and said: "Your Majesty! The Monkey King is here, standing outside, asking to see you!"

King Qin Guang was stunned, thinking that this monkey could be so polite?Last time the monkey came, although he was polite, he barged in swaggeringly, this time, could it be a fake?

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva said calmly: "Don't panic, just please come in."

King Qin Guang suddenly realized, and hurriedly ordered: "Please hurry up!"

The little ghost took orders and went there tremblingly. Not long after, he saw that Sun Dasheng walked in grandly with empty hands and no weapon in his hand. When he saw Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and King Qin Guang, he bowed his palms first and said, "I have seen the Bodhisattva." !"

Then he clasped his fists at King Qin Guang again, and said, "Old man, don't you come here unharmed!?"

Dizang smiled at the monkey and didn't talk to him, but King Qin Guang was shocked. The monkey didn't roll his eyes at him this time, and didn't laugh at him?Even saluted him?

Haha, what a surprise!

King Qin Guang hurriedly said: "No harm and no harm! Thanks to the blessing of the Great Sage, everything is fine!"

Although the monkey now knows how to be polite on the surface, he is still the same monkey in his heart, secretly thinking that this old man is lying nonsense, if it is thanks to my old grandson, I am afraid that this hell will not stop for a day!

So he smiled and leaned over, leaning against King Qin Guang, and said very bluntly: "Since it is thanks to my grandson, then my grandson will benefit from it!"

Qin Guangwang's face was stunned, he was very embarrassed, he laughed bitterly twice, not knowing how to answer.

When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saw it, he relieved the siege and said, "Come and sit down, don't be ridiculous!"

Only then did the monkey let go of King Qin Guang, and said with a smile: "Don't be annoyed, old king, don't be annoyed!"

Only then did King Qin Guang realize that he had been teased by the monkey, wiped off his cold sweat, and wanted to slip away very much.

Unexpectedly, Bodhisattva Ksitigarbha also called him, saying: "I don't know why Wukong came today, King Qin Guang also came to listen to it?"

When the Bodhisattva spoke, King Qin Guang had no choice but to withdraw his sneakily protruding foot, and sat down at the table with his heart hanging.

Dizang then asked, "But what difficulties did you encounter on the way west?"

The monkey sat down obediently, and said: "I have encountered some problems, and I came here to ask the Bodhisattva for help! But it's not my master and disciple's trouble, but my master Tang Seng's soft heart, and took the matter to the upper body!"

Dizang raised his eyebrows, "Oh?" He said, "He's always been like this? But met a ghost who died unjustly?"

If not, Wukong would not have come to the underworld for help.

The Great Sage nodded and said: "That's right." Then he told about the bone spirit and his little skeleton spirit, and finally said: "I saw that the bone spirit can't even maintain his own broken bones now. If the Bodhisattva is willing to help, tell me a date and when to collect the soul, so that I can go back and tell him, so that he can fulfill his wish and fly away without any worries."

Di Zang and King Qin Guang hadn't spoken yet, but Di Ting spoke up and said, "Why do I feel familiar with this bone spirit?"

The three of them looked over together, and Di Ting was scratching his ears with his back paws. Wukong stretched out his hand and covered Di Ting's ears, preventing him from scratching. Let it tickle!"

Di Ting rolled his eyes, put his back legs back, sat upright, and said to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva and King Qin Guang: "I don't know if you two remember, many years ago, a new post was added in our underworld, and the manager was a female ghost fairy. , who is in charge of the reincarnation of women in the world?"

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva is not in charge of business, and is not familiar with these things. King Qin Guang is in charge of personnel affairs in the underworld. How can he be unfamiliar, and he suddenly realized, "Yes! I didn't expect it to be her old friend!"

Without waiting for the great sage's urging, King Qin Guang did not hide anything, and said happily: "Since a certain year in my underworld, the number of young girls who have died has increased year by year, almost breaking the yin and yang. Although reincarnation has its own definite number, the more girls die unjustly in the underworld, the more children die in the underworld. It will become more and more chaotic. No matter how many women reincarnate, they will not be able to catch up with death. Some of them were brought back almost as soon as they were reincarnated. I was helpless and worried. That year, Xiao Xie suddenly brought back the soul of a woman. She told herself My daughter died tragically, and I don't want to reincarnate, I want to stay in this hell, be a little ghost, and take charge of the reincarnation of women."

The Great Sage wondered, "Oh? I don't know how she did it?"

King Qin Guang said: "Well, it is difficult for women in this world. When she releases women's souls to reincarnate, she tries to let them go to the home of good people and the place of merit. Although it is not possible to take care of every woman's soul, it is indeed better than before. Much better!"

The Great Sage laughed loudly after hearing this, and said, "In this way, those who have daughters are all good families, but those who only have sons should be more careful?"

King Qin Guang repeatedly waved his hands and said: "Don't dare to talk nonsense! After all, my subordinates can't do everything by themselves! This is not absolute! The great sage should not talk nonsense to outsiders!"

Wukong said! "I don't know! Old man, don't be afraid! But how can this female Bodhisattva say that she has an old relationship with this bone spirit?"

King Qin Guang said, "I read her life at the beginning, and I also heard from her that her husband was a general and she had a daughter, but she was drowned by her mother-in-law. She was full of sorrow and anger. Died." It was exactly the same as what the bone spirit told his wife.

The monkey rolled his eyes, pondered for a while and said, "I wonder if she can find her daughter in the underworld?"

King Qin Guang shook his head and said: "No, she came a step late. Because her daughter was young and her soul was pure, she was taken to the underworld, and she was neither tried nor sentenced. They read the case file and sent the little girl to the underworld. The girl has been reincarnated."

When Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva heard this, he clasped his hands together and recited the Buddha's name in a low voice: "Amitabha!"

The monkey also sighed, turned to Dizang and said, "I wonder if we can let the couple meet?" It also told the bone spirit to die completely without regret.

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva frowned, and said: "She is currently serving in the underworld, and her duty is to keep her body. That one is a wandering soul, I'm afraid it's inappropriate!"

King Qin Guang persuaded: "Bodhisattva, my subordinate, I came to the underworld, worked hard and never slacked off. Even the accumulated rest days are enough for her to live in the world for a while, just to see the great sage. Look, why not?"

The main reason is that the Great Sage is not easy to mess with, otherwise he doesn't want to let people go, because there is a shortage of manpower...

Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva was waiting for King Qin Guang to speak, so after listening to the passage just now, he said to Wukong: "Since King Qin Guang agreed to you, I can't stop it, so you can thank him! "

The monkey was very clever, so he got up quickly, clasped his fists at King Qin Guang, bent down and saluted, and said, "Thank you, old man, for making it happen! It just so happens that there are still many skeleton spirits transformed by little girls in the bone spirit cave. Lord, this will also be entrusted to your subordinates, and they will be taken in together, right?"

King Qin Guang thought for a while, but shook his head and said: "This is not right. My subordinate only knows how to send souls into reincarnation, but they don't know how to call them back!"

Seeing that the monkey didn't explode, he said again: "Besides, speaking of it, we only said that she was allowed to see the bone spirit, but whether she is willing to see the sad man is another matter!"

You know, the woman later received the soul of her mother-in-law who had been tortured in the underworld, but according to the law, she sent that person to the animal reincarnation and returned.

The hatred in my heart can be seen.

Wukong scratched his head, and suddenly revealed the golden hoop under the fluffy hair, and said: "Then I wonder if I can meet this female Bodhisattva, talk to her, and ask?"

King Qin Guang said, "what's the right thing to do, why not!" He called a little ghost to call the female officer over.

Dizang squinted his eyes and stared at Wukong, clenched his fists in his sleeves so his veins were jumping, he didn't speak for a long time.

Di Ting heard that Ji Zang's heartbeat was not right, looked back and saw that his face was very ugly, followed Di Zang's line of sight, and saw the golden hoop on Wukong's head, there was no one who didn't understand, and secretly screamed, he Forgot about it and didn't tell Dizang.

Ksitigarbha must have misunderstood this kung fu!

The monkey didn't notice at all, and was quietly waiting for the arrival of Mrs. Bone, thinking about Master in his heart, wondering if Bajie, the careless person, and Master, the soft-hearted one, did anything happen during this time, and pondered over Wu Wu Wo, and went smoothly in the West Sea No, have you been bullied...

Just as his heart was broken, Wukong only heard the sound of footsteps outside the main hall. Looking up, he saw a woman in black, her body was tight and neat, and she was dressed in a short skirt. Walking in quickly, the golden light of merit on his body was thick and bright, almost blinding people's eyes.

As soon as he entered the door, he clasped his fist at King Qin Guang and said in a crisp voice, "What is your majesty calling me for?"

Speak quickly if you have something to say, and let go of farts!My wife is very busy!

Seeing the woman's clothes, Wukong was still a little skeptical. It was very different from that of the Bone Demon. The style, style and color were all completely opposite. "It's her!"

The face of this female fairy is exactly the same as the face of the plain-clothed woman transformed by the bone spirit!

It is this temperament, which is very different from the clothes. The bone lady is tender and full of sorrow, but this one...

Tsk, it's hard to say!
