Tang Seng is a cook

In Lingxiao Palace, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata looked at the broken water mirror and didn't speak for a long time.

After a while, the Buddha said leisurely: "This red leaf is so rude to you?"

The Jade Emperor rolled his eyes and said, "Back then I was polite to an incarnation of him, but now he is polite to me, do I dare to accept it?"

Tathagata said: "He was an incarnation back then, didn't he have a good temper?"

The Jade Emperor sighed: "You also said that it was back then, this time, that time..."

Tathagata laughed and changed the subject: "It is said that he is so powerful that even the ground under his feet has been refined to be extremely hard. But last time, he was easily cut off by the monkey?"

The Jade Emperor stroked his beard, squinted at Tathagata, and said, "I don't believe you can't guess."

Tathagata rolled up his sleeves, sat with his hands folded, and sighed, "I just couldn't figure out where he went, so I asked you."

That ginseng fruit tree has stood there since it was opened, and the monkey's golden cudgel can't even make a mark on the soil under people's feet. How could it easily bring the tree down?

That's like talking about a three-year-old baby in the world, and kicking down a thousand-year-old tree with lush branches and leaves is as ridiculous.

However, the monkey just cut off the tree...

After thinking about it, it can only be because Hongye had already left at that time, leaving an illusory shell there.

The body of the ginseng fruit tree is not there, so the fake one will fall down with a kick.

It's just that he left, where did he go back then?

After that, they didn't find any extravagant figures in these four continents.

Just as the Tathagata was thinking, the Jade Emperor suddenly came over and said in a low voice, "I said, you didn't ask Guanyin, after he 'resurrected' the ginseng fruit tree last time, how does the newly grown fruit taste different from before? ? How effective is it, compared to before?"

Tathagata was taken aback for a moment, and said, "I never asked about this."

That's right, the real body is gone, what is the ginseng fruit tree that was reborn back then?

In that feast, there were quite a few people who ate fruit, and these gods didn't notice it?

What about Zhenyuanzi, who has raised ginseng fruit trees for tens of thousands of years?What about him?

It was rare for the Jade Emperor to see the Buddha's brows frown tightly, so he laughed, picked up the jug at hand, poured a glass for the Buddha, and poured another glass for himself, saying: "Drink, drink, and watch! "

The Buddha sighed and drank the cup to the brim with the Jade Emperor. He was unwilling to do so, and sent someone to invite the Great Immortal Zhenyuan to come and talk, and wanted to ask for clues.

Not long after, the boy came back, but said that the gate of Wuzhuang Temple was closed now, he knocked on the door for a long time, only a He boy came out to talk, saying that the Great Immortal Zhenyuan was not there, he had gone on a trip, and he didn't know when he would return.

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha looked at each other in blank dismay, that's all.

Anyway, the forward thing has been revealed, no matter what they neglected or missed at that time, isn't this starting over again?

Not to mention the entanglement between the two, but to talk about Kusongjian. Because of the blessing of the enchantment beads, Hongye took Wukong to practice inside, and the speed was much faster. Time waited until Jin Wuxi fell.

After reciting for a long time to calm the mind, Zhuang Fan has slowed down by this time, and sneaked over to watch it several times. During the period, he saw Hongye holding Wukong's hand and did not let go, and the monkey was also meditating quietly, looking breathless. It was very stable, and my heart was more stable.

When the sun was about to set, there was a wind blowing in the mountains, and it was a little cold. Zhuang Fan led a few children, gathered some firewood, lit a bonfire, and looked at the red boy, not telling him to kick the quilt.

This fat baby wears a bellyband all over his body and doesn't even wear any socks. I don't know if it's always been like this, or it's just like this when the weather is warmer.

Fortunately, Zhuang Fan saw that chubby's feet were plump, white and tender, very clean.

Originally, when the night wind blows, the tent should be set up, but every day, this work is done by Wukong. For convenience, the tent is also kept with him. Now that he can't take it out, he has to light a bonfire to keep warm.

Zhuang Fan guarded the bonfire and baked eggs for the children. Seeing that it was getting late, he touched the palms of Wu Wang and Wu You. They were warm but not cold. Can you live?"

Wu Wang stared eagerly at the place where the eggs were buried, and said, "Master, it's because of you that I have a place to shelter from the wind and rain at night, and a warm quilt. In the past, there were not many beds in the West Sea. Most of the time, they are directly soaked in the water to sleep!"

Wu You also nodded and said: "Yes, Dad, I'm at Master's place, and I also soak in the water at night, and the open-air seats are nothing!"

Bajie snorted twice, thinking that yours is not bad, anyway, the water is good water, very clean, my old pig lives in Zhuangzi, so what, it's not a thatched house, broken to the point of dross, dirty Stinky, sunny and rainy in summer, cold and drafty in winter?

Zhuang Fan had dark lines on his face, thinking that this way of raising children is too unrestrained, but he said again: "Is it uncomfortable to be out of water every day?"

I forgot, both of them grow in water.

Wu Wang smiled and said: "Being by Master's side, I am very happy every day, so why is it uncomfortable?"

Bajie also hummed softly in Master's arms twice, expressing his agreement.

Wu You was much more reserved, leaning into his father's arms, pressing his fat face against Zhuang Fan's waist, and did not speak.

Zhuang Fan just laughed. Although he used to be known as the king of children at home, he had never raised children, not to mention that the monkeys in front of him grew up differently from ordinary children. Yes, what happened to Wukong today has twists and turns, which frightened him.

He doesn't know anything about Taoism and Buddhism. Watching the children practice every night is similar to watching his nephews do Mathematical Olympiads.

don't know!Won't!do not know!

When it was completely dark, Hongye opened her eyes, slowly withdrew her hand, and sat quietly, watching the monkey continue to adjust its breathing and exercise.

Become!

With his help, the monkey forced all the residues of the medicine out of the body, and now the veins in the whole body are clean, clear and harmonious, and it is no different from the time when it just jumped out of the stone.

It's just that after the whole process today, the monkey's meridians were also damaged a lot, and he still needs to continue to exercise and recirculate the fairy energy in the body several times.

In the enchantment bead, the two brothers sat opposite each other, and Hongye kept watching Wukong's internal breath circulation. He saw that after a few big cycles, all the monkey's meridians were tough and strong, as wide as a thoroughfare, and the fairy spirit flowed freely without hindrance. , and there was no obstruction in the subtleties, he couldn't help but smiled in relief, and nodded slightly.

Until outside the enchantment bead, the moon was three poles high, the mountain wind howled, and the birds and animals were all quiet, Wukong finally opened his eyes slowly. Although the sky in front of him was dark, the stars were dotted, and the moon was hazy, he felt that the world was extremely clear. , the four seas are infinitely vast, easy to grasp like a palm pearl, and more clearly distinguishable like handprints.

The monkey suddenly felt that the current situation was like the day the master revealed the post, the world was in front of his eyes, free and cheerful, he could gallop and roam freely.

The monkey laughed loudly, leaped freely, and soared into the air. In a short while, the sky and the earth were omnipresent, but it couldn't go anywhere. It turned into a breeze and surrounded the master. He went to heaven and turned into a dragon.

The two are in the night sky in early summer, one is the breeze and the other is the jade dragon, entangled and frolicking, swimming endlessly, the dragon sings and the ape howls, and the sound shakes the world.

It just so happened that Zhuang Fan came over to take a peek just now, and saw the scene where the apprentice was leaving the customs, and now his face was wrinkled into a bun flower with a smile.

Seeing Hongye walking over with his hands in his sleeves, Zhuang Fan hurriedly clasped his palms together and saluted, "Thank you for your hard work, Patriarch! I've got to work today!"

Hongye smiled and said: "The elder is too polite, Wukong is also my younger brother."

Zhuang Fan laughed and said: "Ashamed, ashamed, my master is false, but my elder brother is very real!"

Hongye laughed loudly and said, "It's all true!"

Wuyou came over with a yawn and said, "Are you tired, Patriarch? Don't leave today, sleep with us, my tent is very big! It's very comfortable! It's not easy to take your apprentice with you at night!"

Wu said worriedly, no matter what, first decide on the names of the two masters and apprentices, and then talk about it!

Hongye pulled out her hand to rub her chin, and said, "It's okay! I haven't slept in a tent yet!"

He stretched out his hand to rub Wuyou's little bun, and said, "Just call me Hongye, don't call me Patriarch, it sounds like I'm about to enter the coffin!" He looks like a boy now, a boy!

Wuyou's innocent face: "Dad called you that, I dare not go past him!"

The red leaf boy begged his face, "Holy Monk, treat me like a nephew and hurt me for a day!"

Zhuang Fan trembled, but had no choice but to agree, saying: "Okay, if there are no outsiders, I can call you by your name, but don't act like a baby, I'm flustered."

The three of them laughed loudly and were talking, when Wukong came back with Wuwang on his back, and Wuwang turned into a three-headed milk doll, happily riding on the neck of the senior brother, and waved at Zhuang Fan from a distance: " Master!!"

Zhuang Fan smiled, and when the two monkeys entered, he said: "Your senior brother is dirty, rubbing you all over!"

The two of them said "ah" in unison, looked down, no, the monkey was dirty all over, and now it was a black monkey, as long as the little white dragon was next to his elder brother, he would also be black.

Zhuang Fan rummaged through his luggage, took out the big tub they bathed in and put it on the ground, and said to Wu Wang: "Get some hot spring water, and you and your senior brother can take a bath together!"

Wu Wang is now good at using water, a faucet is worthy of the name, and it is very convenient to take a hot bath.

Hongye heard the word "hot spring water", her eyes lit up, she coughed lightly, and said in a low voice embarrassedly: "Holy Monk, I'm also dirty, and I want to wash it too!" As she spoke, her face turned red up.

Zhuang Fan hurriedly said: "I wash them all, I have them all!" He took out a large wooden basin, which was as deep and wide as a barrel, with a cover on the top and a small wooden stool inside.

Hongye hugged her and said, "This is mine!" Then she called Wuwang, "Come, come, fill up the hot spring water! It needs to be hotter."

Zhuang Fan saw that he was impatient, and quickly persuaded him: "Don't wash here anymore, the mountain wind is cold, and later put up a tent and light a smoke cage to keep warm!"

Hongye thought about it, agreed, and waited happily.

Wukong took Wuwang to set up a tent, and Wuyou helped him.

Because I have to take a bath, I am afraid of splashing water, so there is no blanket on the ground, so it is so empty first.

It's just that all the stored charcoal was burned out, Zhuang Fan muttered to the smoker cage: "Without charcoal, the firewood will smoke, will it choke?"

When Hongye heard it, Shi Shiran came over and threw it away, Zhuang Fan turned his head to take a look, the high-quality silver bone charcoal was just so casually piled up on the ground in a mess!

This is precious!

Zhuang Fan was so distressed that he didn't ask where he came from. He quickly gathered them up unceremoniously, lit the smoked cages again, and waited for a few small ones to set up tents before bringing them in. It wouldn't be long before the whole room would be heated up.

After a while, Hongye soaked contentedly in the big basin, and there were three smaller basins beside it, one for Monkey himself, one for Wuwang himself, and one for Wuyou holding Bajie, each of them blushing.

It was cold in the mountains at night, Zhuang Fan felt that he couldn't bear the heat and cold, so he didn't mix with them, and went to prepare meals by himself.

The curtain of the tent was lifted, and Zhuang Fan walked in with a tray, on which were several dishes of side dishes, and a transparent crystal bottle filled with bright red wine.

The bottle was donated by Wu Wang, and the wine was brewed by Zhuang Fan after thinking about it himself. It was a bit sour, but this bottle is the only one left, and the taste is not bad.

Zhuang Fan put the tray on the lid of Hongye's bathtub, and said: "I don't know your taste, try it, I figured it out and made the wine myself, it doesn't taste very good, just drink it as sweet water "

A few little ones yelled, "Master, we want to eat too! We want to drink too!"

Zhuang Fan said very coldly: "No!" The child ate too much at night and couldn't digest it, and said again: "Wukong didn't eat at night, the master steamed egg custard for you, eat it after washing!"

The monkey was concentrating on rubbing it vigorously, and said, "Master, the custard is tender and won't accumulate food, so bring some for the juniors too!"

Wuwang Wuyou and Bajie held the rim of the basin together and looked over eagerly.

Hongye asked curiously: "What is custard? I want to eat it too!" As she spoke, she reached for the last piece of spiced tofu and put it in her mouth, eating it gibberishly.

Zhuang Fan had no choice but to say, "Everything is there!"

A few hours suddenly cheered, making water splash.

Zhuang Fan said: "Hurry up and wash, don't soak for too long, lest you get dizzy!"

The monkey who had fainted before had a deep understanding, nodded repeatedly, just happened to have bath beans all over his body, and after rubbing it once, he forgot to say: "Changing the water for me obediently!"

Wu Wang was floating in the water basin with his chubby belly. Most of his clothes were dirty, and he had washed them long ago. He didn’t even get up when he heard the words. With a wave of his hand, the water in Wu Kong’s basin flew away to nowhere. Then, with a "wow", a fresh stream of clean hot spring water came and washed the monkey clean from head to toe.

Wukong's eyes lit up, and said: "This is good, let's do it a few more times!"

Wu Wang didn't refuse, and after a few times, he showered his elder brother to his heart's content, and then he gave up.

It just so happened that the custard was ready, Zhuang Fan came in and said, "It's almost done, let's all come out!"

The little ones were all washed, and as soon as they heard the master came to chase them out, they rushed out in a hurry.

Wuyou opportunistically wiped the little fat pig dry first, and put his third senior brother on the ground before cleaning himself up, Zhuang Fan didn't rush him.

The red leaves were so soaked that their muscles and bones were soft, and they didn't want to move, so they lazily said: "I'm fine, I'll be fine if I soak for a day!"

Zhuang Fan had no choice but to take out his trump card: "The custard is cooked!"

Hongye tilted her head, put her face on the rim of the bucket, and moaned, "Eat here!"

Zhuang Fan couldn't help shivering again, and said, "Don't act like a baby!"

Hongye had no choice but to crawl out slowly, picked up the red dress from the ground, and wanted to put it on.

Zhuang Fan hurriedly said, "Why are you still wearing dirty clothes? Didn't you change them?"

Hongye said: "This is my fallen leaves. It is self-cleaning and not dirty!"

Zhuang Fanxin said that you threw it on the ground just now, not to mention it was stained with dust and splashed with water, don't think I didn't look at it, and finally took out another suit of clothes and handed it to Hongye.

Hongye took it over and took a look, she was very disgusted and said, "This is a monk's robe!"

Holding it up and looking left and right, he turned the monk robe into a blue straight dress, and after wearing it, Zhuang Fan didn't care, and let him go.

Monkey led the juniors to clean up the tubs, cleaned them one by one, and put them away again. When it was Hongye's turn, that big guy who didn't know whether to call it a bucket or a basin, Hongye refused to let go, saying: "I used this one. , leave it to me! Will it work?"

Wukong said generously: "A bathtub, brother, just take it if you want!"

Hongye was very happy, and didn't ask them to wipe it. She even brought a basin of water and didn't know where it went.

Wu Wang reminded: "That water, just use it once!"

Hongye smiled and said: "I know! I keep it for other purposes!" Although it is only mortal water, after soaking him, it is also contaminated with purple air, so it cannot be thrown away.

Wukong thought about it, took out the washbasin that Honghaier had used, handed it to Hongye and said, "Brother, this is your apprentice's washbasin, do you keep it for him?"

Hong Ye took the basin, looked at it curiously, saw that it was just an ordinary wooden basin, and said, "Why does this kid still carry a washbasin with him? He looks like me, he is a clean kid, he should be my apprentice!"

After hearing this, Wukong coughed twice, not daring to say that he disliked Honghaier, so he quickly slipped away.

The bathtubs were all put away, and now Wukong's mana was perfect, and he made the ground inside the tent dry and smooth without any effort. Then he took out the thick carpet, spread it carefully, and threw the bedding on it.

Seeing that the tent was packed, Wuyou quickly grabbed the third senior brother who was running around all over the place, and stuffed it under the bed. He lifted the curtain and ran away, following Zhuang who came back with a food box. Fan walked straight.

Wuyou took the food box and said, "Daddy, I want to sleep with you tonight!" No one can take his dad away!

Zhuang Fan replied with a smile, "Okay!"

He said in his heart that at Datongpu, with his youngest son's sleeping appearance, he could be pushed out of the door if he didn't pay attention, it made no difference who he slept with.

The two entered the tent, just when Wukong came in with his red boy in his arms, everyone sat around the small table in the tent, ready to start eating supper.

Hongye said to Wukong: "Give me my apprentice!"

Zhuang Fan said: "You eat yours, the custard is hot! Let me hug him!"

Hongye smiled and stopped talking, took a small porcelain spoon, and played with the soft and smooth surface of the custard very curiously.

Zhuang Fan took the red boy over and held him in his arms. The child had been asleep for a long time. Zhuang Fan touched his belly and saw that it was still bulging, and he didn't hear the rumbling sound when he was hungry, and his forehead wasn't hot either. Only then did I feel relieved, and picked up a spoon to eat.

Hong Haier fell into a drowsy sleep, smelled the aroma, opened his eyes vigorously, his mind was still stiff, and did not move. After a while of identification, he realized that it was the Tang monk holding him, and he couldn't help but feel happy. He was eating, so he tried hard: "I want to..."

Although the voice was low, Zhuang Fan heard it too, and couldn't help being startled. Seeing that the red boy was staring sleepily at the spoon in his hand, drooling, he quickly dug out a spoonful of custard and blew it with his mouth, seeing that it was not hot anymore. , before feeding him.

As soon as Hong Haier pursed his lips, the custard disappeared, and he didn't want a second bite. He closed his eyes and fell asleep again.

Zhuang Fan stared blankly at the calf, and said, "Why did you wake up? Why did you fall asleep again?"

Hongye had already eaten up a bowl of custard, and asked, "What did you eat before?" After finishing speaking, she forgot.

Wukong was beside him, and he talked about the matter again, Hongye laughed and said, "So it's the Seven Return Fire Pill, it's fine, just use less, it's just like that, half asleep and half awake!" He also ate this thing back then , Taishang Laojun, there are some of these messy meatballs. They had solid skin at that time, and there were few impurities in the world, so they all ate the elixir made by Laojun as jelly beans.

He reached out to pick it up, Zhuang Fan saw that he had finished eating, so he handed the red boy over.

Sure enough, Honghaier woke up several times at night, but fortunately he slept between Zhuang Fan and Hongye, and the small lantern in the middle of the tent was on, so he could always see Zhuang Fan's face clearly.

The child was still confused, thinking that he was still Zhu Bajie, and didn't notice that he had become a three-headed body. When he saw Zhuang Fan's face, he felt relieved, closed his eyes, and went back to sleep.

Early the next morning, the master and apprentice got up early, packed up and prepared to cross the mountain and continue on their way.

Hongye slept soundly all night, got up in the morning and said to Zhuang Fan: "This bedding is comfortable, this blanket is so soft!"

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "It's a pity that I only have this one here, so I can't give it to you, but I bought it from a Hu merchant in the Western Regions. If you like it, just wait until you go and buy a set!"

Hongye said pitifully, "I don't have any money."

Zhuang Fan scratched his head, quickly called the big apprentice over, and said, "Give some of our gold leaves to your brother."

The monkey was packing up, and asked, "Brother, what do you want to buy?"

Hongye replied shyly, "I think your tent is pretty good!"

The monkey misunderstood, what kind of routine did he think, and bought our tent with our money?
