Guide to raising cubs in westbound [Journey to the West]

After Tang Monk and his disciples walked to the main road, Monkey King retracted his vellus hair under the curious gaze of the little guy.

"Maomao from a big rock can turn into a tiger!"

Sun Wukong met his wide-eyed expression, which looked very lively, pinched his face and said, "Don't try to secretly pluck my old grandson's vellus hair, or be careful of your ass blooming."

"I... I didn't want to pluck the hairs off the big rock."

Zhu Bajie couldn't help laughing at this unreasonable and unreasonable tone.

"Second Senior Brother, what are you laughing at?" Xiao Shitou looked over unwillingly when he heard his laughter.

Zhu Bajie let out a "hey" and raised his hand to threaten him, "You dare to kill me instead of your elder brother. Believe it or not, I will make your ass bloom too."

"The ass is not a tree, so it won't bloom." The little guy showed a deceptive expression on his face.

"Then try it and see if it will bloom."

After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, he leaned over to slap his butt, the little guy quickly waved his little hand and said, "No, no, Second Senior Brother, try it yourself, I won't try it!"

"Bajie, don't make trouble with him."

When Tang Seng heard the little guy shouting at the top of his voice, he couldn't help speaking, so they stopped and hurried on their way.

The days with dry food are good, so you don't have to bother to go to the fast.

It was going to be late that day, and they didn't meet anyone who was staying overnight, so they found a place nearby that could shelter them from the wind.

Little Shitou is used to sleeping outside occasionally, and he also diligently helps collect firewood for the fire.

"Stop busy, wash your hands, sit down and wait for dinner." Sun Wukong saw that he didn't pick up much firewood, but got his little hands dirty, so he took him to wash his hands.

If there are only a few of them master and apprentice, just eat some dry food, and there is a little guy, but everyone is willing to spend more time on eating, at least get something warm.

"Is this mushroom poisonous?"

The little guy who washed his hands was squatting by the fire, holding mushrooms to cook mushroom soup.

"Don't worry, it's not poisonous." Drifting said as he threw the mushrooms into the purple gold bowl.

"Then what if it is poisonous? If it is poisonous, we will all be poisoned to death."

After Xiaoshi finished speaking, he tilted his neck in a poisonous gesture, which made Zhu Bajie laugh out loud.

"Where did you come up with so much nonsense? It's not the first day you cook mushroom soup." Sun Wukong looked at him playing tricks and said angrily.

After the little guy covered his mouth with his hand to indicate that he shut up, he reached out again to make soup by himself after a while.

Drifting was afraid that he would be scalded, so he held him in his arms and led him to gently stir in the soup a few times.

"The mushroom soup cooked by the third brother is delicious~"

"Then you'll drink more later."

"it is good!"

The delicious and hot mushroom soup paired with the slightly charred and crispy sesame seed cakes in front of the fire is a good dinner.

As expected, Xiaoshi drank two extra bowls of mushroom soup, and as a result, he couldn't finish eating the biscuits in his hand.

Along the way to the west, they have visited prosperous towns and met poor families.

For those families who have difficulty eating themselves and are willing to let them stay overnight, Tang Seng and his disciples will provide food by themselves if they have dry food in their luggage;

Because of this, even if Tang Seng and the others didn't deliberately teach them, Xiao Shitou knew the preciousness of food, so he never wasted it.

Now he couldn't eat anymore, so he reluctantly took two more bites and said, "I'll save this for tomorrow."

His voice was small, and he seemed a little embarrassed.

When Zhu Bajie heard the words, he saw that there was only a small piece left in his hand, so he took it casually and said, "I'll eat it for you."

The little guy took several mouthfuls of sesame seed cakes, and he threw them into his mouth in one bite, chewed them twice before swallowing them.

Little Shitou knew that the second senior brother could eat it, so he was very happy to see him eat his biscuits in one bite. He clapped his hands and said, "I'm done eating~"

"Did you eat it yourself?" Sun Wukong reached out and poked his forehead lightly, jokingly said, "No wonder you don't grow taller."

"Look at my belly, I'm full." The little guy stood up and patted his belly gently.

Listening to his slapping his stomach, Monkey King joked, "Is there a watermelon in it?"

The little guy was amused by him and laughed, but when he said he wanted to eat the watermelon in his belly, he immediately hid behind Tang Seng and complained.

"Master, the big stone wants to eat the watermelon in my stomach!"

"Why is there watermelon in your stomach, don't listen to his nonsense." Tang Seng said with a smile.

While chatting and laughing, dinner was over, Drifting and the others went nearby to find some hay and spread it on the ground so that they could rest easily.

They spread the grass, but the small stones rolled on the grass, which just flattened the grass.

Playing on the haystack for a while, the little guy saw that the master was chanting sutras again, so he couldn't help but get up and go to his side.

Under the warm firelight, the fair-faced monk is chanting sutras without distraction, and a naughty little guy is sitting next to him imitating his posture. The picture looks warm and interesting.

"Little Shitou, if you like learning from Master's chanting so much, why don't you shave your hair and become a little monk." Zhu Bajie said.

Xiao Shitou didn't want to shave his head, he got up and rushed over to make trouble for him: "Second Senior Brother is a monk, shave Second Senior Brother's head!"

"I'll shave it for you." Zhu Bajie said, stretching out his hand to ruffle his hair.

The little guy was amused by him and screamed, seeing that he couldn't stop his hand, he simply turned around and ran away.

Sun Wukong thought that he was tired from playing now, and he would not make trouble when he went to bed later, so he leaned on the tree trunk and watched him and that idiot running around.

Sure enough, the little guy didn't need to be urged to sleep after running tired, turned around and came back to lean on Monkey King's arms, and fell asleep on his stomach.

So Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and encountered a long ridge in front of him.The ridge is covered with thorns everywhere, and there is no way to go.

"This thorn will prick your hand!"

Seeing the little guy in his arms wanting to touch it while talking, Sun Wukong couldn't help knocking him on the head: "I know you still touch it."

Xiao Shitou retracted his uncontrollable hands, raised his head and smiled obediently at him.

Sitting on the horseback, Tang Seng became troubled and asked them how to get through this way.

"It's not difficult. Master, just sit on the horseback."

After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, he took out his nine-toothed rake and opened a path through the thorns.

"Second senior brother is really amazing!" The little guy clapped his hands and boasted.

When Zhu Bajie heard his voice, he immediately worked harder.

The group of people just relied on him to open the way for a while, but there was still no end in sight.

It was rare for Zhu Bajie not to cry tired, but Tang Seng felt sorry for his apprentice, and couldn't help saying: "I don't know how far ahead."

"Master, I'll go and have a look."

After Monkey King finished speaking, he sent the little guy to the horse for him to hug, and he flew up to explore the way in mid-air.

After a while, he came back and said, "Master, there is still a long way to go. I'm afraid there are more than 1000 miles."

"What should I do?" Tang Seng frowned, feeling that his disciples couldn't keep opening the way so far away.

Little Shitou also raised his head and asked, "Aren't we going to get through?"

"I can get by, why can't I get by."

Seeing his frowning, Zhu Bajie chanted the mantra directly to make himself twenty feet long, and the nine-toothed rake to thirty feet long.With such a change, he can push aside the thorns in the road ahead without much effort.

"Wow~"

Seeing his change, Little Stone raised his head and let out an exclamation.

"Am I powerful?" Zhu Bajie lowered his head to meet his bright eyes and asked with a smile.

"Amazing! Second senior brother is too powerful!"

Zhu Bajie was pleased by his praise, he pushed aside the thorns in front of him and said: "Master, you can go now."

Seeing his apprentice's ability, Tang Seng praised his apprentice happily, then rode his horse and continued on his way.

Monkey King took the golden cudgel and moved the small places that Zhu Bajie couldn't care about, and they went on their way smoothly.

The master and disciples walked for a day without walking out of this ridge, but when they were resting on the way, they found a stone tablet on the road and learned that this place was "Thorn Thorn Ridge".

"No wonder there are so many thorns."

Naturally, there were no homes in Thorn Ridge, so they could only sleep in the open at night.

"Bajie, you have worked hard today."

After Tang Seng finished speaking, the little guy ran to Zhu Bajie and said, "Second Senior Brother, I'll beat your back~"

Zhu Bajie saw that he was so caring, and immediately felt that today's hard work was worth it.

Next, the two of them squatted and stood one by one, and they really beat their backs.

"Second senior brother, are you comfortable?"

"Comfortable."

Seeing the idiot enjoying himself so much, Sun Wukong felt a little apprehensive.

But in fact, there is no need, the little stone ran over immediately after hammering Zhu Bajie and wanted to hammer him again.

Not only that, after the meal, the little guy beat the Drifting Monk who had been carrying a load all day and making dinner for a long time, and finally Tang Monk was not left behind.

"Come, come, I'll give you a couple of pinches, too." Zhu Bajie waved when he saw him busy.

Hearing this, the little guy ran to stand in front of him, but as soon as Zhu Bajie put his hand on his little shoulder and squeezed it lightly, he immediately shrank his neck and laughed.

"It's itchy, I don't want to pinch it!"

Hearing his giggling laughter, Zhu Bajie said a little harder: "Try again, why would it itch."

"It's just itchy haha..."

Xiao Shitou laughed out loud, turned around and ran behind him after laughing, lay on his shoulder and pinched it, asking while pinching, "Is it itchy? Is it itchy?"

Zhu Bajie didn't feel itchy, so he comfortably signaled him to increase his strength.

After the night passed, they continued on their way the next day.

Thorn Ridge Road is not easy to walk, the little guy can only sit on the horse with Tang Seng all the time.He was actually a little bored, but he didn't make a fuss. Instead, he looked at Zhu Bajie who was opening the way ahead, and lowered his head to play with his fingers.

"Little Shitou, do you want me to carry you for a while?" Zhu Bajie suddenly turned around and asked after driving another way.

Xiao Shitou's eyes lit up immediately, he stretched out his hands and said, "Yes!"

In fact, he had wanted "Big Pig Bajie" to hug him a long time ago, but he was too embarrassed to say so after seeing the other party working so hard.

Tang Seng could hear the excitement in his tone, but he didn't stop it.

The twenty-foot-long Zhu Bajie can let the little guy lie on it with the palm of his hand spread out.He supported the little guy with one hand, and continued to pull the thorns with the other.

"Master, look at me, am I tall?"

Hearing him shouting at the top of his voice, Tang Seng and the others quickly responded.

Zhu Bajie is willing to put in more effort to play with him, but the little guy is quite sensible, and he will take the initiative to propose it after getting used to it.

They still hadn't walked out of Thorn Ridge that day, so the master and apprentice could only find another place to stop and rest in the evening.

Not long after they sat down, an old man suddenly appeared in front of him and brought someone to deliver a vegetarian meal, saying that he was the land of Thorn Ridge.

Zhu Bajie was hungry, and when he heard that the land was bringing them a vegetarian meal, he immediately stepped forward to pick it up.

"Wait a minute!" Sun Wukong hurriedly stopped him, holding the golden hoop and said, "Where did the monster come from, dare to play tricks in front of your grandpa grandpa!"

He jumped forward and hit him with a stick, and saw that the old man turned into a gust of wind in an instant, and swept Tang Seng and the little guy in his arms away by surprise.

Tang Seng is a mortal child, and the only reaction he can do when he is swept away by the wind is to hold the little guy in his arms tightly.

The old man rolled them to a stone house with a beautiful view, put them down and comforted them: "Holy monk, don't be afraid..."

When Tang Seng heard that this person claimed to be the Eighteenth Lord of Jingji Ridge, and said that he was only invited to discuss poetry with his friends, he couldn't help but feel relieved.

Because he was emotionally stable, Xiao Shitou was not afraid, just thinking about when Monkey King and the others would come over.

Aside from Shiba Gong's method of inviting people, it is really a good place in front of you, just looking at it makes you feel refreshed.

At this moment, a few more people walked over to greet Tang Seng with smiles on their faces.

Tang Seng saw that each of them had a good temperament, and he called them "Xianweng" and saluted them back.

The three people who came later were Guzhigong, Lingkongzi, and Fuyunsou. They didn't know where they heard about Tang Seng's reputation, and they respected him very much, hoping that he could teach him the Zen method.

"Why is there a little baby?" Gu Zhigong smiled and looked at the little guy in Tang Seng's arms.

Shiba Gongdao: "He is with the holy monk, please come here together."

A few people saw that the child was not noisy, but looked very well-behaved, and signaled Tang Seng to put him on the stone table to use some melons and fruits.

The Shiba Gong and others were gentle and polite, and they wanted to ask about the Zen method. Tang Seng had a good impression of them, so he put the little guy at the table and turned to chat with them.

"Zen is quiet; Dharma is speed..."

The fourth elder nodded again and again, and occasionally talked about his feelings.

Little Shitou sat in front of the stone table, although he couldn't understand what they were talking about, he could see that the master was in a good mood, so he kicked his little feet to eat the melons and fruits in front of him.

Tang Seng was delighted after talking about Zen with the four elders. Feeling the scenery here, he recited a poem casually.

Si Laoben is good at poetry, and inviting him here also means meeting friends to talk about poetry, so he immediately picked up the poems.

It's quite leisurely and elegant for several people to couplet poems on a moonlit night.

Little Shitou listened to the poem, and seeing that Monkey King and the others hadn't found him yet, he couldn't sit still and ran to Tang Seng's side and tugged at his sleeve.

"Master..."

Sensing his movement, Tang Seng immediately said goodbye to the four elders, saying that he still had three apprentices waiting, so he didn't want to stay for a long time.

But the fourth elder refused to let him go, eighteen justices said: "Tonight the moon is as bright as day, so the holy monk is not in a hurry to leave. When the sun is bright tomorrow, I will personally send you across the mountain."

After he finished speaking, two girls held lanterns and led a pretty woman in pink over.

When the fourth elder saw her, he called her Xingxian.

After Xingxian greeted them, she walked towards Tang Seng and offered him a cup of fragrant tea.

After tea, Xingxian praised Tang Seng's poem just now, expressing that he would use singing and dancing to add to the fun.

The four elders agreed again and again, and Tang Seng could only do as he pleases.

Xingxian is good at singing and dancing, holding a branch of apricot blossom in his hand and singing softly, coupled with the graceful dancing posture, it is really pleasing to the eye.

Little Shitou was dragging Tang Seng to leave, but now he followed suit, thinking that this sister sang well and danced beautifully.

Tang Seng couldn't help lowering his eyes when he heard the line in the singing, "Why is Yurun red and beautiful?", and saw the little guy beside him shaking his head and shaking his head following the singing.

At the end of the song, Xingxian slowly came to him holding the apricot blossom, her eyes were full of affection.

"Amitabha." Seeing her leaning towards him, Tang Seng said "Buddha" while avoiding her.

Xingxian said with a slight smile: "How much can life be like? Why don't you enjoy this good night."

When she finished speaking, the four elders all joined in, saying that since Xingxian wanted it, Tang Seng must not refuse it.As they talked, they also directly discussed her marriage with Tang Seng.

Tang Seng didn't expect that they clearly said they were meeting friends and discussing poetry, but now they wanted to get married by themselves. He waved his hands repeatedly and said, "No, no, no."

However, the four elders seemed to be unable to hear his refusal, and each of them continued to discuss the matter of being a matchmaker.

Xiao Shitou felt that they were bullying Master, and said angrily: "Master even said no, are your ears broken?"

"This little baby has a big temper." Shiba Gong couldn't help laughing.

"What are you laughing at? Master said he doesn't want to get married. If you bother him again, I'll tell Dashitou!" The little guy said with his arms akimbo when he saw that they were still laughing.

Tang Seng quickly stretched out his arms to hug him up, and rejected Xingxian again and offered to leave.

There was also a naked ghost emissary nearby. Hearing his words, he said angrily: "Why is my sister not worthy of you? Monk, don't toast or eat fine wine..."

"You dare to attack Master, I will call a big stone to hit you!" After the little guy finished speaking, he threw the unfinished fruit in his hand.

Although the naked ghost envoy had a violent temper, he didn't like to argue with the child, so he just stretched out his hand and pushed Tang Seng towards Xingxian.

Seeing his movement, Xiaoshi directly reached out to pat him.

The two sides were chatting, and suddenly there was a shout not far away.

"Master, little stone, where are you?"

"I'm here for the big rock, come quickly!" The little guy recognized the voice of Monkey King and the others, and immediately raised his head to respond.

The four elders, Xingxian and others seemed to be afraid of Sun Wukong, and immediately disappeared from the spot when they heard his voice.

As soon as they disappeared, Monkey King and the others had followed the little guy's voice to find them.

"Master, are you all right?"

When Tang Seng saw his apprentices coming, he finally breathed a sigh of relief and shook his head to show that he was fine.

"There was a beautiful sister dancing just now, and they insisted that Master and the beautiful sister get married." Little Shitou opened his hand to Sun Wukong, and complained after he took him into his arms.

As soon as Zhu Bajie heard the words "beautiful sister", he immediately looked around with bright eyes, but only saw melons, fruits and tea on the table.

No one was found, and it would be nice to have something to eat and drink. He immediately picked up the teapot and wanted to drink.

"You dare to drink the ecstasy soup." Sun Wukong came over and snatched the teapot from his hand and threw it away.

Fortunately, although the tea was not good tea, the melons and fruits that the little guy had eaten on the table were fine, so Zhu Bajie picked up the fruits and ate them.

Sun Wukong took a look around and knew that the Eighteen Pines and Gu Zhigong were actually made of pines and cypresses, and they were about to hit them with their golden cudgels.

"Wukong." Tang Seng thought that the other party didn't hurt him, so he still stopped his apprentice and didn't let him do anything.

Xiao Shitou was already sleepy now, and after yawning, he started rubbing his eyes.

Sun Wukong pulled his hand from rubbing his eyes, held the golden cudgel to warn the tree spirits and vine monsters nearby, then put away the golden cudgel and said: "Idiot, don't eat, help master to leave here first."

After Zhu Bajie heard what he said, he packed up all the remaining fruits before getting up.

When the master and apprentice returned to the place where they slept outside, the little guy was already asleep in Monkey King's arms, but he was still humming some songs from time to time.

"What is he singing?" Zhu Bajie listened closely for a while but didn't understand.

But Tang Seng recognized that it was the song that Xingxian sang before, so he shook his head and smiled.

Although the incident tonight was a bit unpleasant at the end, it was considered an elegant event after all, and it was rare for Tang Seng to let go of his feelings.

After that, the master and apprentice did not encounter any problems, and they walked out of Thorn Ridge all the way calmly.

Coming out of Thorn Ridge, Xiaoshi finally didn't have to sit on the horse all the time, and ran in front like a fan.

Probably because there was less entertainment on the way to learn the scriptures, the little guy who watched a song and dance with Tang Seng's light not only memorized a few tunes, but even memorized the movements of Xingxian dancing with flowers.

Seeing him wriggling around with a flower in his hand at first, Brother Sun Wukong was a little puzzled. It wasn't until Tang Seng spoke that they realized that the little guy was dancing, and they couldn't help but laugh.

"Am I dancing well?"

Xiao Shitou was quite confident, not afraid of their watching, but raised his head and asked after the dance.

Zhu Bajie was the first to boast: "It looks beautiful, it dances better than the fairies in the sky."

"How does that compare to your fairy Chang'e?" Sun Wukong joked.

Just like Sun Wukong didn't like others to mention "Bi Mawen", Zhu Bajie didn't like to hear people mention it, so he pushed him away and said, "It's so far away, why bring it up."

"What Fairy Chang'e?" The little guy asked curiously, turning the flower in his hand.

Sun Wukong wanted to tell him immediately, but Zhu Bajie refused, so the two brothers and sisters started fighting.

Little Shitou looked interesting, so he couldn't remember to ask "Fairy Chang'e" again, but ran after them.

After traveling for more than a month, a high mountain suddenly appeared in front of me.

"It's such a high mountain, it's all in the sky!"

Hearing what the little guy in his arms said, Monkey King smiled and said, "The sky is so high, how can this mountain be as high as the sky?"

While talking, they had already started to go up the mountain, only to see the strange rocks on the mountain, and birds and beasts appearing everywhere.

"Big stone, there is a tiger ahead!" the little guy said with sharp eyes.

Not only tigers, but also leopards and wolves on the mountain road ahead.

Tang Seng was startled and subconsciously stopped the horse.But Sun Wukong held the little guy with one hand, took out the golden cudgel with the other hand and swung it forward, frightened the wolves, tigers and leopards blocking the way and fled in all directions.

"The big rock is really powerful!" The little guy boasted, and refused to let him hug him anymore, insisting on getting down and walking by himself.

The left and right have already opened the way, and Sun Wukong didn't stop him, but occasionally when he ran too fast, he would dodge and bring him back.

Little Shitou probably thought it was amusing, but he deliberately ran fast after being carried back.

After Sun Wukong caught him a few times, he didn't bother to toss it anymore, but the mountain road was rough and he was afraid that he would fall, so he simply wrapped the end of the golden cudgel around his waist so that he couldn't run far if he wanted to.
