[Journey to the West] The Poor Monk Xuanzang

The mountain here is dangerous, looking up, there are rocks piled up on the smooth rock wall, and weeds regenerate at the junction of the rocks, if you want to go up from here, it may be difficult to go to the blue sky.

It was already morning, probably because of the rain just now, and the surroundings were surrounded by white mist. I reined in my horse and looked down from the path beside the cliff, only to see that the bottom was bottomless. I was afraid that I might have made a mistake and fell to pieces. .

Suddenly he heard someone's voice on the opposite side, and he looked like a woodcutter from a distance, the man said: "The elder who is going west! Pause for a moment. I have something to tell you: there is a group of monsters on this mountain, and they only eat you who go here and there."

I frowned, and asked my three apprentices: "It's clearly after the rain. How could someone cut firewood? How could this person know that I was going to the West?"

"Master, you didn't hear, the woodcutter said that there are monsters eating people in this mountain." Ba Jie looked at me anxiously, "Shall we go or go back?"

"Don't listen to this idiot's nonsense!" Wukong pulled Bajie away: "Master, don't be afraid, wait for me to go and find out." After finishing speaking, his shadow disappeared.

We simply stopped to rest for a while, and the monkey came back after a while, but his eyes were red and full of tears. I was stunned for a while, thinking that when I saw the monkey for the first time at the bottom of the Five Elements Mountain, I never saw him cry like this .

Before I could say anything, Ba Jie said to Wu Jing, "Junior Brother Sha, quickly put down the burden, let's share the luggage!"

"You go back to your Liusha River to be a monster, and my old pig goes back to Gao Laozhuang to find my wife. I bought a white horse, and we bought a coffin for the master. Let's break up." Bajie said, and went to look through the luggage.

I just felt a headache: "You idiot, why are you talking nonsense again?" I'm not dead yet, you have to buy a coffin!

"Master, you don't know how powerful that monster is," Bajie said coyly, "Look at that monkey crying like a bag of tears. We've been walking this way, when have you ever seen him cry?"

"I'm afraid the road ahead will be difficult, so let's not go to die with our little ability." He said and went to salute again.

I let out a long sigh, stepped forward and grabbed the monkey, and asked, "If you have something to say, that's fine, why worry about it alone?"

"Master, the person who reported the letter just now is a daily meritorious service officer. He said that the goblin is vicious, so let's go back."

I frowned and said, "It's all here now, how can there be any reason to give up halfway?"

"But there is only one apprentice, and we are weak, so I'm afraid it will be difficult for the master to go west." The monkey turned its head and made a gesture of wiping tears.

I reprimanded in a low voice: "Nonsense! What do you mean you are alone? Don't you still have Bajie and Wujing?" Then, I found melancholy that this monkey was waiting for my sentence.

There were only tears on his face, and there was no sadness on his face: "Master, if you want to cross this mountain, you have to promise me two things from Bajie, so you can be [-]% sure."

Bajie hastily shied away and said: "Brother, if you don't go, we'll all break up, don't drag it on me."

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said: "Tell me, what do you want Bajie to do?"

The monkey said: "The first thing is to take care of the master, and the second thing is to patrol the mountains."

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, you are not difficult to be a human being. You have to follow the master to take care of the master, and you have to go out to patrol the mountains. I can't run back for a while, stay for a while, and run around again."

"You only need to do one thing well."

Bajie hurriedly said: "Then I will take care of the master!"

"Look at the master. When the master goes out to worship, you serve him; if the master wants to walk, you support him; if the master wants to eat fast, you take the fast."

"If he's hungry, you should spank him; if he's yellowish, you should spank him; if he's skinny, you should spank him."

I felt helpless, this monkey was clearly trying to play tricks on people.

Bajie panicked: "This is difficult! What about patrolling the mountains?"

"Enter this mountain and find out how many monsters there are, what kind of mountain it is, and what kind of cave is there, so we can get there."

"This trivial matter is easy, my old pig is going to patrol the mountains!" After finishing speaking, he ran away arrogantly with the nails and rakes on his shoulders.

The monkey stood aside and couldn't help sneering.

I couldn't help but say to him: "You savage monkey, you talk sweetly and ask Bajie to patrol the mountains, why are you laughing at him here?"

The monkey proudly said: "Master, according to my opinion, Ba Jie will not go to patrol the mountains, let alone meet any monsters. He will try his best to find a place to sleep, and then he will make up a lie to deceive us."

The monkey sneaked away to follow it, and came back first to file a complaint, saying that Bajie had not patrolled the mountain and had gone to sleep.

"That idiot even made up a lie to deceive us." He smiled and learned everything he had heard.

I don't really believe it: "If he wants to make up a lie, how can he let you listen to it all."

Not long after, Bajie came back, came up and knelt down: "I'm back from patrolling the mountains."

I quickly helped him up: "Apprentice, work hard."

Remembering what Wukong said before, I asked him accordingly: "What is this mountain?"

Bajie said, "Stone Mountain."

I frowned and saw Wukong ask him, "What hole?"

"It's a stone cave."

The monkey approached him and asked again, "What door is it?"

"It's a nailed iron leaf door."

The monkey drew out the golden cudgel and made a gesture to hit it: "If you ask how far it is inside, you will say that there are three floors inside; if you ask how many nails are on the door, you will only say that the old pig is too busy to remember, right?"

Bajie hurriedly hid behind me and walked around Wukong: "You, how do you know?"

The monkey rushed up and wanted to hit him: "If the woodpecker didn't wake you up, you would still be sleeping there?"

"Then, did you change that bird?" Bajie ran around me.

"You bastard, I told you to patrol the mountains, but you actually went to sleep. Come here, let me give you a long-term memory with five sticks!"

Bajie grabbed me: "Master, save me, brother's mourning stick is heavy, I want him to hit him five times before he dies."

I was helpless: "Wukong said you made up a lie, I still don't believe it. This is the case, in fact, we should fight!" Then I said to Wukong: "Wukong, please spare him, wait until you pass the mountain and then fight."

The monkey said: "Master said not to fight, so I will spare you. If you go to patrol the mountains with him again, if you continue to be lazy, I will definitely not spare you!"

Bajie went to patrol the mountain again with a rake on his shoulder.

I looked at the sky and teased Sanbao with a pine branch. Speaking of which, it was very strange that Sanbao hadn't grown up after so many years.

The sun slowly rose into the sky, and the surrounding white mist dissipated a little.

I threw away the pine branch and looked around: "Why hasn't Bajie come back yet?"

"Master, you don't know him. If you encounter a monster, he will definitely come back and report to me," said the monkey, helping me to mount the horse. Chase him away."

We were talking and hadn't taken two steps when we saw Bajie trotting back with a rake on his shoulders.

"Master! Sure enough, there are monsters on this mountain."

"Oh?" Wukong asked and went up to meet him, "What kind of monster is that?" After asking, before Bajie could answer, he drew out his golden cudgel and hit him on the head.

I was shocked, and before I could stop it, I saw the two fighting.

"Monster!" Wukong scolded, "Don't think I won't recognize you if you become like this."

Bajie chuckled, and actually changed shape, turned into a shiny monster, this monster looks like a human, with a single silver horn on its head.

"Sun Houzi, I know your ability, and I don't want to make things difficult for you, as long as Tang Monk eats two bites of meat, it won't hurt his life." The monster laughed, "How about letting me bite him two bites?"

"You monster, you do have some brains," the monkey giggled, "It's okay for my delicate-skinned and tender-skinned master to let you take a few bites, but I can't let you eat for nothing."

"You monkey is out of touch with current affairs," the monster laughed. "What benefits do you want?"

"I see you monster is very poor, I'm afraid you don't have any good stuff," said the monkey, "you might as well stick your head over and let my old grandson beat you up, and when you are happy with the beating, my master is Bai It’s okay to give it to you.”

"You splashing monkey, don't eat the toast and eat the fine wine!" The two fought for a while, and for a while, the sand and stones flew away, and the fog was full of fog, and they couldn't see their fingers for a while.

When the surrounding scenery could be seen clearly again, Wukong actually let the monster press down at the bottom of the mountain, unable to move.

I hurriedly dismounted, and before I could take two steps, he was caught by the monster in the hole.

The silver-horned monster threw me and Wujing to the ground, and shouted: "Brother, look who I caught!"

I saw a golden-horned monster coming out of the cave, he stepped forward and knocked on the silver-horned monster: "You boy, how can you neglect the elder like this."

He turned around and picked me up again: "The elder is frightened." I was at a loss as to what the second monk Zhang Zhang was thinking, and saw the golden-horned monster walking around me, looking and looking, and reached out to touch it after watching it. Touch: "The skin and flesh of the holy monk is really good, but it is too thin."

I felt like I was a piece of pork waiting to be sold, and I couldn't help shaking.

The monster hurriedly comforted him: "Holy monk, don't be afraid, we brothers are both good people, different from those wild wild monsters in the countryside." He was just talking on one side, and then ordered on the other side: "Come on, give me some This monk Sha hangs up."

"Brother, why don't you tie up Tang Seng too?" The silver-horned monster stared at me, poked my thigh with eyes full of covetousness, and asked the golden-horned monster.

"You idiot, there are quite a few people in our cave." The golden-horned monster pulled him away, "You saw him so skinny, and he was frightened that he wanted you to be tied up again. It’s good to be scared and thin.”

"Brother, what do you mean?" the silver-horned monster asked, drooling while staring at me.

"Naturally, it's better to grow fatter," the golden-horned monster asked again, "What about the monkey grandson?"

"What's so delicious about that monkey?" The silver-horned monster stood beside it with its arms folded and hummed, "It's small and thin, and it doesn't taste good even if it doesn't have any meat, and it's useless to eat it."

"We have to catch that monkey first, so we can eat Tang Monk." The golden-horned monster said, "That monkey has some skills, if we eat his master, he will come to the door every day to make noise, and we will not be able to survive. "

"Brother, you praise that monkey too much. In my opinion, that monkey is nothing more than that." The silver-horned monster stared at me while flipping through the recipes, disapproving of what the golden-horned monster said.

"How to say?"

"That monkey has been suppressed by the three mountains I sent, and now it is impossible to move an inch," the silver-horned monster said happily, "Why do you need me to catch him in person, just call two little monsters and bring the baby, Put him back in."

"Young brother is very capable."

The two monsters looked at each other and laughed.
