if this is the saint

The meaning of the eight precepts: one abstain from killing; two abstain from stealing; three abstain from adultery; four abstain from lying; five abstain from drinking alcohol; (Note 1)

After Zhu Bajie learned that Monkey King turned out to be the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, his expression was very exciting.

After all, back then he was often crushed and beaten to death by that monkey. Now that he has been reincarnated, his fate of being beaten has not changed. Sadly, he has become someone else's junior. Do you want to play tricks like this?

500 years ago, Sun Wukong, the great sage of Monkey King, always appeared with a mask covering his face. No one had ever seen his appearance under the mask, and everyone was used to it. He thought he was just a monkey face, so he was embarrassed to come out to see him. people.

Now what is going on with this face that is far better than the dream lover Erlang God in the hearts of many fairies in heaven?

Compared with Monkey King who was crushed on Wuzhi Mountain and sent to learn Buddhist scriptures, Monkey King's handsome face really frightened him more.

The most shocking thing is that it doesn't matter if the other party doesn't remember his face. When he said the title of 'Marshal of the Canopy', the other party didn't even remember that there was such a person. Obviously, he was beaten for nothing back then. .

After several waves of innocuous little monsters and mobs, Tang Seng and his disciples ushered in another dark night.

"Master, is senior brother always like this?" Zhu Bajie handed the water to Tang Seng, looking at Monkey King who was sitting cross-legged on the tree fork outside the cave, he couldn't help but ask.

There was no one in the wilderness, and the three of them could only rest for one night in a simple cave.Oh, this hole was 'borrowed' by Monkey King from a little demon who wanted to eat Tang's monk's meat.

After drinking the water, Tang Seng followed his line of sight to see Monkey King outside the cave, wiped the corners of his mouth, and looked a little depressed

"Since the day my teacher met him, Wukong has been like this. He travels during the day and likes to be alone at night. If he is with him, he will be farther away. Talk to him as a teacher, although he doesn't know what I say. I have listened to it, but never paid attention to it... Bajie, tell me, is it a failure to be a teacher?"

As he said that, Tang Seng looked straight at Zhu Bajie, as if he wanted to get an answer from him.But he knew that the result was self-evident.

Monkey King didn't know how glaring the forehead he had been wearing between his brows since the first night was to Tang Seng.

But Tang Seng needs to force himself every time, so as not to let himself care about it, not to think deeply. Monkey King hides his ugliness and hides the existence of the "tight hoop" mark. What does it represent?

In fact, he also understood that when he decided to learn the Curse of Tightening Band, although that curse could allow him to restrain Monkey King very well, it also became an insurmountable gap between their master and apprentice, making him and Monkey King the original master. The lack of deep master-student relationship is destined to deepen the estrangement.

However, every time he couldn't help getting closer, hoping that they would be as close as ordinary masters and apprentices.

He didn't know why he never had such thoughts about Bajie, maybe it was because Bajie had a good relationship with him, or it might be because Sun Wukong was the first apprentice he accepted, and the first one was always different.

Zhu Bajie received stares as if he was looking for the truth, and felt a lot of pressure. He smiled dryly: "This...Master, if you ask me, I don't know. It's okay to let me do rough work. It's a matter of thinking. The old pig is not good at it anymore."

Tang Seng felt that maybe his tone was too harsh last time, which made the other party feel disgusted, but Sun Wukong actually didn’t need his strictness, as long as he said it, the other party could carry it out very well, maybe he can treat Sun Wukong again in the future. Try it mildly.

Sun Wukong on the tree fork turned his head sideways, and the blond hair fell off his shoulders.The voices in the cave were actually quite clear to him, but that didn't matter.

With one more person in the itinerary, Monkey King is obviously much more relaxed.

In the past, whether it was leading the horse, carrying luggage, begging for alms, or feeding the horse, he did it all by himself.

Now, he can do whatever he wants, if he doesn't want to do it, just cast a look at him, and Zhu Bajie will take the initiative to do it.

Monkey King, who was still very displeased with Zhu Bajie, had to gradually have a good face towards Zhu Bajie.

It's just that it would be better if you can be less noisy and just stare at his face when you have nothing to do.

He heard Gao Laozhuang Shi Zhu Bajie's muttering before leaving, and he naturally knew that he should also be ordered by Guanyin to become Tang Seng's apprentice, which was also a pawn arranged by Tathagata.

At that time, there was a turning point, Sun Wukong didn't want the other party to become like him, so he interrupted the other party's words and threatened him away.

Unexpectedly, after a period of time, the pig found it again by itself, and it really happened.

That's right, with Guanyin's urging, this pig can't escape the road of being Tang Seng's apprentice.

But he just couldn't understand the other party being used by others, and he still looked so unconscious, silly and happy.

However, since the other party is so self-conscious, he feels that he has nothing to do with other people's affairs?People are willing to be used and live innocently, isn't it good?On the contrary, it was me who was living too soberly.

Zhu Bajie found that the elder brother's attitude towards him was much better these days, and he felt that the days were getting better and better, so he approached Monkey King more attentively.

The direct result is that he neglected his master, and often saw his master looking at him with resentful eyes, but he ignored it as soon as he could.

Seeing a big river in front of him, Zhu Bajie put down his luggage and hurriedly ran over to talk to Monkey King. There seemed to be an invisible pig tail wagging happily behind him, "Big brother, big brother, this river is called Liusha River."

"..." Sun Wukong didn't respond, he was already familiar with the low level of Zhu Bajie's IQ, and generally ignored such nonsensical words.There is a stele next to it, of course he knows that the river is called Liusha River.

Zhu Bajie didn't care too much, his senior brother usually only replied after a few words, he was used to it these days, it would be nice if he could chase him away without looking at him, so he continued with a smile:

"It's already getting late, it's not suitable to cross the river, otherwise we'll rest here for the night and cross tomorrow morning."

Looking at the rushing river, Monkey King frowned slightly. He had an intuition that the river was not easy, so he nodded, "Go and ask Master."

After all, there is still a master, and he does not want to do things like Yuezu. If Tang Seng is dissatisfied, what should he do if he throws a magic spell at him, so he will always be very obedient.

After Tang Seng nodded, the three of them decided to rest here, but Monkey King still set the location a little far away from the river. Regarding safety, Tang Seng would not refute him if he had any opinions.

night.

'Whoosh whoosh...whoosh whoosh...'

"Who!" Sun Wukong woke up vigilantly after hearing the slightest movement, his golden eyes flashed in the dark night, and the golden cudgel hit the place where the sound came from with a 'swish' sound, but there was no one there. Tang Monk resting there.

Zhu Bajie was also awakened by fright, and then saw that the master who was sleeping next to him had disappeared, and the elder brother was staring at the place where the master disappeared with a gloomy face.

He was a little confused, what's the matter?Who else dares to steal someone under the eyes of the elder brother?

Sun Wukong took back the golden cudgel, feeling very unhappy. This was the first time he had lost his master since he accepted the task of learning Buddhist scriptures, and his dignity was challenged.

"Er...big brother, what should we do now?" The master is gone, should they continue to learn from the scriptures?

He hasn't been with Tang Seng for a long time, but he doesn't really have any feelings for Tang Seng. The other party is just a mortal, how can it compare to the long life of the demon?And he was still yearning for the happy days he had in Yunzhan Cave.

In fact, it would be nice if he could follow the big brother, hehehe~, after all, his big brother is so good-looking, and Zhu Bajie looks like he is drooling.

Sun Wukong observed the place where Tang Seng was resting last night. There were some abnormal traces of sand there. The pitch-black night could not cause him any difficulty. He looked around and saw that this large area belonged to the river beach, and it was full of sand. Looking at Liushahe, which has always given him a weird feeling, he has some calculations in his heart.

"Master should have been captured by the river monster here. The river monster is good at controlling the sand, and we all rest on the sand, so he got Master away without a sound."

Careless!What's more, he was habitually far away from Tang Seng, so he didn't notice it immediately, and the speed of the river monster was so fast that he didn't have time to stop it.

"You keep your luggage, I'll go into the river to have a look."

"Oh~" Zhu Bajie replied disappointedly. It turned out that he still wanted to save Master. Thinking that he was a general in charge of the Heavenly Court Navy back then, he knew water skills well, so he said: "Brother, your water skills are not as good as mine, so let me save you." go..."

"Boom!" Unfortunately, Monkey King didn't intend to listen to his suggestion at all, and rushed into the river after finishing his own words.What a joke, the Monkey King doesn't know how to swim?The Dragon Palace of the East China Sea can be robbed, let alone a mere river monster.

Zhu Bajie "...".

Looking at the vast night, I feel quite ashamed.Ever since he became a teacher, the senior brother only asked him to do rough work like leading horses for alms, and the heavy burden of killing demons and demons was all done by the senior brother himself. Is this treating him as a useless person?He is very weak.

Although he is a pig who is greedy for life and afraid of death, he is still very good at fighting. Why didn't the elder brother give him a chance to prove himself?

Knowing that the other party could no longer hear him, Zhu Bajie still murmured the rest of his instructions dryly: "Then you have to be careful, big brother..."

Tang Seng felt that he was frightened. After sleeping for a while and waking up, he found that he was in the water, and he didn't feel like drowning at all. His breathing was even smoother than on land.

As a mortal, he found it very novel.But who can tell him what's going on?A monster with a dark complexion, a bunch of drum-shaped heads on its neck, long red hair tied in its head, and red stubble all over its face. It was cooking a cauldron there with great interest.

The author has something to say: Little Theater:

Zhu Bajie: What's the situation?Who else dares to steal someone under the eyes of the elder brother?

Drifting: Second senior brother, you are wrong, he just wanted to attract the attention of senior senior brother.

ps: A 'tight hoop', like an invisible cage, is a shameful shackle.The once reckless and unrestrained style was forced to change into the current law-abiding self-defense. Perhaps this change began as early as 500 years ago by the Tathagata, but now the Tathagata has given the key to the lock to Tang Seng...

Note 1: These eight precepts are actually the five meat and three dislikes, which generally refer to dietary taboos: five meat: five kinds of vegetables that Buddhism should not eat, namely garlic, small garlic, xingqu, green onion, and green onion; three dislikes: Taoism taboo The three kinds of meat they eat: geese, dogs, and tortoises.But the "Bajie" of Zhu Bajie in the original book is not actually the Bajie.
