Gourmet daily life with Monkey [Journey to the West]

Seeing that the two brothers were about to quarrel again, Tao Tao simply got up by herself, and no one was allowed to help her.

Sha Wujing smiled and said: "Eldest senior brother, second senior brother, you are too nervous, isn't Tao Zi fine?"

Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie looked at each other, and they both snorted.

The white belly of the fish gradually appeared in the east, and a ray of sunlight shot to the ground, dispelling the darkness and bringing light.

The matter in Fengxian County has finally come to an end. After this catastrophe, the people are all grateful to the master and apprentice, and they all sincerely do good deeds and pray to Buddha every day.

The county marquis spent all his wealth and built temples and Taoist temples, which saved him from death. Soon after, the king of Tianzhu sent a new county prince to Buti.

The master and apprentice rested in Fengxian County for another day, and then continued westward.Knowing that the distance to Xitian is less than a thousand miles away, Tang Seng felt even more energetic when he started walking.

It's just that Tang Seng's cooking has recently made Zhu Bajie feel abnormal. He has to drag Monkey King to recite scriptures and preach Buddhism almost every night, and Sun Wukong is not allowed to hold Tao Zi's original shape during the day, which almost eliminates all possibilities of the two being together.

Zhu Bajie was happy when someone helped him, and he couldn't help wondering whether Monkey King and his sister really had something.He went to ask Tang Seng, but Tang Seng often prevaricated and didn't answer directly, which made him even more suspicious.

"Master, I'm your apprentice, how can you be perfunctory to me? Did that stinky monkey do something to my sister?" Zhu Bajie vowed not to give up, believing that Tang Seng must know something.

Tang Seng recited Amitabha and said with a smile: "Bajie, when you have an apprentice, you will understand what it means to be a teacher."

"Master is prevaricating me again. Besides, how could the old pig accept apprentices? The road is non-stop, and there is no time at all." Zhu Bajie was talking, but he was a bit thoughtful, secretly thinking that if he has an apprentice in the future, he will never Hiding it like a master.

This morning, a group of people arrived at another city. "Yuhua County" was written on the gate of the city, which must be the name of the place.

After entering the city, I found that Yuhua County is really prosperous, and it is no different from Shangbang in Tang Dynasty.Pedestrians on the street crowded shoulder to shoulder and joined hands to form a cloud. The girls in foreign costumes were enthusiastic and cheerful, and they frequently expressed their admiration to Tang Seng and the others.

There are various shops on both sides of the street, and there are hawkers hawking along the street. The traffic is so busy that it is very lively.

"Chang'an Avenue is narrow and slanted, with green cattle, white horses and seven fragrant chariots. The jade chariot crosses the main building, and the golden whips flow towards the Hou family... I think this is almost the case in Yuhua County. Master, you have lived in Chang'an, look at me Is it true or not?" Zhu Bajie enjoyed the feeling of being flirted with by the girls, waving his folding fan lightly, looking like a handsome young man.

Tang Seng nodded slightly, and said: "Chang'an is indeed very prosperous, but the customs and customs of the two places are different."

Suddenly a beautifully dressed little girl ran over and threw a flower into Tang Seng's arms. Tang Seng blushed immediately, and hurriedly handed the flowers to Monkey King's arms.

Sun Wukong said: "I don't dare to accept it, master don't want to harm me. Give it to idiots."

He hastily threw it into Zhu Bajie's arms, Zhu Bajie took the flower, put it on his nose, sniffed it gently, exhaled a long breath, and exclaimed: "It smells so good!"

Tao Tao: "...Brother, it's sunny, you should pay attention. If this is the custom of others, if you accept flowers, you agree to marry him. It depends on you."

Zhu Bajie was taken aback, holding the flower like a hot potato, looked at this, then at that, and finally at Sha Wujing.

"Second senior brother, I don't want it!" Sha Wujing hurriedly stepped back to show his position.

Zhu Bajie looked around, he couldn't give the flower to his sister, could he?Suddenly caught a glimpse of the white dragon horse from the corner of the eye, hey, that girl can't let a horse marry her, so she stretched out her hand and put the flowers on the horse's back.

Unexpectedly, the white dragon horse shook the body and immediately shook the flower to the ground, stepped on it with its hind hoof, and trampled the flower to pieces.

"Wow..." Suddenly there was a loud cry from the side, and everyone looked over, and it really was the little girl who sent flowers just now.

"Do evil, do evil." Tang Seng blushed and walked a few steps quickly, he could only dodge if he couldn't be provoked!

After turning a few streets, the group finally found the Huitong Hall. The officials of the Huitong Hall heard that they were monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and immediately welcomed them warmly.

"I heard that Dongtu Great Tang is a hundred and eight thousand miles away from us. The elders can come all the way here. It's really admirable, admirable!" The official looked at the few people and found that the master and the apprentice were all in good looks. Extraordinary temperament, but also joy in the heart.

Tang Seng said: "I'm joking. The poor monk was fortunate to have a few apprentices who slayed demons and demons all the way, and tried their best to protect each other, so they came here."

"Slay demons and eliminate demons?" The official couldn't help being overjoyed when he heard it, and confirmed: "How many elders really know how to kill demons and eliminate demons?"

"Why, do you have monsters here? I see that the people are rich and happy, and it doesn't look like there are monsters." Zhu Bajie asked in a good mood after eating the snacks on the table in one bite.

The official immediately lowered his voice, and said in a low voice: "The elders didn't know it when they came here for the first time. There were no monsters here. Just a few days ago, for some reason, a monster wind suddenly blew away my king's princess. !"

"Oh? What's going on, please tell me carefully." Monkey King became interested, so the master and apprentice sat down and listened slowly to the official's explanation.

"Our place is called Yuhua County. The city owner of the county is the clan of Emperor Tianzhu, who was named the King of Yuhua. The prince is a good prince. After coming here, he managed all the affairs in an orderly manner, so the people are prosperous and healthy. The prince There are three sons and one daughter, and the three princes are also hard-working and motivated men, and because there is only one princess, they are very doted on."

Everyone nodded in praise, no wonder the people in Yuhua County have enough food and clothing.

Then the official continued: "The princess has just turned sixteen this year, and she is as beautiful as a flower, gentle and virtuous, and every day she asks for marriage, she has to step through the threshold. There is a monster who thinks that he has heard about this. Three days ago, a At night, when the princess was playing alone in the garden, he was kidnapped by a gust of evil wind."

"What kind of monster? Hasn't the prince rescued the princess yet?" Sun Wukong said in his heart that he had been taken captive for three days, and the princess might be in danger.

The official shook his head and sighed: "For this reason, the prince sent troops to search nearby. Although he found the monster's cave, no one dared to go in to rescue it. Every time he went two or three miles outside the cave, he was caught by the little demon patrolling outside." Killed. If the elders are really able to subdue demons, please help the prince and rescue the princess!"

"Wukong, saving someone's life is worse than building a seven-level pagoda, why don't we go to the palace and help the prince." Tang Seng couldn't bear it, and heard that this place was the prince's fief, so they had to find the prince to change Guan Wen.

"Master said to save it, so let's save it." Sun Wukong didn't object, and Zhu Bajie and the others didn't even object.

So the officials warmly entertained several people for lunch, and then sent a carriage to personally send them to the palace.

King Yuhua was only in his early forties, he was born with a dignified appearance, a gentle manner, and he was a middle-aged handsome uncle.With such genes, the appearance of the offspring must be similar. No wonder even monsters have taken a fancy to his little daughter.

Tang Seng made an introduction, and King Yuhua was overjoyed when he heard that Monkey King could subdue demons.

"Several elders, you must lend a helping hand and help Xiao Wang rescue her daughter. Xiao Wang is just such a daughter. She has been taken away by monsters for a few days. The princess and I can't eat and sleep. If this continues, But what should I do?"

Sun Wukong said: "I have heard about this matter from the officials in the same hall. I came this time to help the prince rescue the princess. I also ask the prince to explain in detail where the monster lives, so that we brothers and sisters can catch it." The demon saves people."

King Yuhua said happily: "The monster's cave is in the forest seventy or eighty miles to the south. I have sent soldiers and horses to surround the cave, but they dare not approach it. I don't know what methods the elders have. How to catch the monster then? "

Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "Are you doubting our identities?"

"Don't dare, Xiao Wang just..."

"I think you monks are just bluffing and deceiving, thinking that you can escape by coming to my palace? It's really unreasonable!" King Yuhua was interrupted by a loud voice before he could finish speaking.

In a blink of an eye, three young men walked in one after another. The three men were very similar in attire, and they looked like the three sons of King Yuhua.

It was the eldest prince who spoke just now, and the eldest prince saluted King Yuhua, saying: "Father, don't be fooled by these monks, what can they do? Don't be able to rescue Wang Mei at that time, and even deceive her away." our money."

Sun Wukong said displeased: "We are all monks, and we have never been greedy for money. You prince is too impolite to run people like this."

The second prince glanced at Sun Wukong, then looked at Tao Tao who was next to him, and said with a sneer, "You guys pretended to be a bit of a liar, how can a monk bring a little girl with him?"

Tao Tao looked puzzled, she just sat there obediently, why did she say that her head was on her head?It's really a person sitting at home, and the pot comes from the sky.

"I'm not a monk, I'm just a disciple of the master, why can't we go on the road together?"

Zhu Bajie was not happy when he heard that his sister was on the head. He closed the folding fan and said softly: "You prince is so unreasonable. It is our fault that we take the initiative to help. The old pig has been the first one along the way. I was called a liar for the first time! Since that’s the case, we simply don’t want to join, Master, Brother Monkey, anyway, the official documents have been switched, why don’t we go on the road now.”

"Where are we going? Want to leave after we expose our true colors? It's not that cheap!" The third prince pulled out a treasure stick and blocked Zhu Bajie.

The eldest prince and the second prince also drew out their weapons one after another to prevent Tang Seng and others from leaving.

Zhu Bajie was a little angry at first, but when he saw the rake in the second prince's hand, he burst into laughter: "You little prince can also use a rake? Let's change to a weapon, don't embarrass the old pig."

After saying that, when he turned his right hand, the nine-toothed rake appeared, and the sun was shining brightly in an instant, and the hall was full of brilliance.

He played with the nine-toothed rake in his hand, and the three princes were dumbfounded. That number was definitely several levels higher than theirs!

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Idiots love to show off, why show off with a few mortals?"

"Isn't it just because they are ignorant? Brother Monkey, take out your golden hoop and play with it, and see that the eldest prince is also using the stick. Go and teach him a lesson." Zhu Bajie enjoyed the feeling of being admired by everyone, and encouraged him. Sun Wukong is here.

"Go play it yourself, Old Sun doesn't have that kind of thought." Sun Wukong waved his hand, not paying attention to the mortals.

The three princes suddenly knelt down and exclaimed: "Master! Please accept us as disciples! I was the one who offended you all because I was blind!"

Monkey King and the others were taken aback, and hurriedly helped him up, but the three princes followed them like worms, with admiration on their faces.

"We are all walking monks, and we still want to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. What kind of apprentices should we accept? Just clear up the misunderstanding, and the three princes should not mention the matter of apprenticeship again." To impart skills?That's too much time wasting.

But Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up, looked at the second prince and said with a smile: "Do you really want to worship Lao Zhu as a teacher?"

"Master, please be my master and teach me how to use a rake! I must learn martial arts well and go save my little sister!" The second prince wanted to kneel again, but was supported by Zhu Bajie.

When Zhu Bajie heard the word "little sister", his heart was touched. He glanced at Tao Tao who was sitting beside him, and thought that this prince was almost the same as him.

"For the sake of your eagerness to save my sister, the old pig will accept you as an apprentice." After speaking, he looked at Tang Seng again, and asked with a smile: "Master, do you object to this matter? I have accepted an apprentice, and it is yours." Disciple."

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said with a smile: "Accepting an apprentice is a joyous event, so naturally I don't object to it as a teacher. But if you accept an apprentice, you have to teach them carefully, which can just sharpen your lazy temper."

Zhu Bajie scratched his head in embarrassment, and the second prince said happily when he saw this: "Master, please accept my apprentice's respect!"

The head was kowtowed firmly, and after the kowtow, they toasted a cup of tea, which made Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing a little jealous.

The eldest prince and the third prince are more eager than them. The second child already has a master, and the two of them have not been found yet.The two of them couldn't care less, and if they hugged each other, they would kowtow to Monkey King and Sha Wujing.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing could only half push and half agree.

Now Tao Tao became the most eye-catching one, everyone else had apprentices, but she didn't, as if she had been abandoned by the whole world.

Especially seeing Sun Wukong playing with the eldest prince, and saying that he wanted to cleanse him and teach him spells, it was even more aggrieved.Smelly monkey, once you have an apprentice, you will forget your wife.

Looking at Zhu Bajie again, he even gave the second prince a nine-toothed rake, but the second prince couldn't handle it at all. The intimate appearance of the two made Tao Tao jealous.Smelly brother, once you have an apprentice, you will forget about your sister.

Tao Tao clutched her sleeves tightly and let out a soft snort.

Tang Seng said with a smile: "Wouldn't it be great if you also accept the princess as an apprentice when you rescue the princess?"

"Can I do it too?" Tao Tao instantly revived with full blood, her eyes lit up.

"Why not? You are not less capable than them, and you are more careful than them." Tang Seng comforted with a smile.

Tao Tao's brows were beaming with joy, and she agreed with her master's words very much. Hmph, she must teach her apprentice the best and defeat those three blind princes!Shame on Smelly Monkey, Smelly Brother, and Stinky Wujing!

She took the case and said enthusiastically, "Let's go save the princess right now!"

Saving the princess is not an easy task for ordinary people, but for Monkey King and others who have rich experience in catching monsters, it is a piece of cake.

As the evening approached, the brothers and sisters went to King Yuhua's garrison and explained the direction and location of the cave, and Monkey King and the others touched it overnight.The three little princes wanted to follow up, but they were rejected. They were still mortals, and if they went, they would die.

Not long after, the group found Hukou Cave at the foot of Leopard Head Mountain. As expected, there were demons patrolling around the cave, all of which were tigers, leopards and lions that had not fully transformed, at least fifty or sixty of them.

Zhu Bajie gulped down his saliva, and said in a low voice, "Little sister, haven't we eaten tiger meat and leopard meat for a long time?"

"Brother, we've never eaten tiger or leopard meat, okay?" Tao Tao stared at the tigers and leopards not far away, feeling a little greedy, and didn't know if the tiger and leopard meat were tasty or not.These two things were protected animals in the previous life and were not allowed to be eaten.

"Then what are you talking about? We must get a few of them back later, hey, enough for us to eat for several days!" Zhu Bajie rushed out with a nine-toothed rake in his hand, and killed several of them at once with the rake.

Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing, and Tao Tao also hurriedly followed, and they cleaned up these weak little monsters like cutting watermelon with a knife, and cleaned them up in less than a quarter of an hour.

The soldiers hiding behind were all stunned, guessing their origins one after another, wishing they could kneel down and worship them.

Zhu Bajie waved to the soldiers, then pointed to the tigers and leopards on the ground: "What are you waiting for? Take all the prey back, there will be meat to eat tonight."

The soldiers rushed forward, rejoicing, and carried away fifty or sixty beasts in an instant.

Such a movement naturally alarmed the monsters in the cave, the stone door was opened with a bang, and a tall yellow-haired monster came out immediately, holding a four-bladed shovel in his hand, shining coldly, looking like a yellow-haired lion.

Huang Shijing was followed by a large group of goblins, all armed with weapons, and surrounded Monkey King and the others.

"Who are you guys? Why did you come to this great king to make trouble? You beat countless younger brothers to death, it's really unreasonable!"

Tao Tao looked Huang Shijing up and down, saw that he was just an unknown monster, immediately put his hands on his hips, and said fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense, did you kidnap my apprentice?"

"Suck... Another little beauty... Ouch..." Huang Shijing hadn't finished salivating when he was suddenly slapped on the face, and Monkey King's ability to beat cattle from the air became more and more perfect.

"Who hit me? Who hit me? If you have the ability to stand up!" Huang Shijing was furious, and touched his furry face, only to feel the burning pain.

Sun Wukong took a step forward with the golden cudgel on his shoulder, and said with a sneer, "Your grandpa beat you, grandson thief, do you still want to fight back?"
