Gourmet daily life with Monkey [Journey to the West]

But as soon as they entered the door, everyone heard the woman's crying coming from inside, and the crying was louder than the other, heartbroken and heartbreaking.

The master and apprentice looked at each other, could it be that there is a funeral in this family?But instead of hanging white silk inside and outside the courtyard, several red lanterns were lit, and happy characters were pasted on the door, as if a happy event was going to be held.

The young man led the crowd to the main hall, where the crying sound came from. Entering the main hall, the crying sound became louder and louder. It turned out that two brides in wedding robes were holding their parents and weeping.

"Master, madam, these are the eminent monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures. They pass by here and want to stay overnight." The servant bowed and reported.

When the two brides heard that outsiders were coming, they immediately stopped crying, but they hugged their parents and refused to get up.

The old man asked around five times, looked kindly and kindly, nodded with a smile and said: "All eminent monks, please sit down, our house is the most hospitable, and we have received many monks."

"Thank you, old man." Tang Seng bowed and sat down.

Zhu Bajie couldn't wait any longer, and asked with a smile: "Just now I smelled the smell of food outside, old benefactor, you can help me, a good man will do his best, and serve us some food and wine."

"Yes, yes, everyone, please wait a moment." The old man was indeed hospitable, so he immediately asked the servant to prepare the meals, and also asked him to prepare a few more delicious dishes.

Tang Seng clasped his hands together, said "Amitabha", and said: "The Bodhisattva will definitely see the benevolent deeds of the donor. Good people will be rewarded with good things."

"Little master, don't talk about it. I think my old couple have done good deeds for decades and even paved roads and bridges for the village, but now my two daughters are about to die. Alas..." The old man's eyes were wet as he spoke, Wipe away tears from everyone.

Sun Wukong was puzzled and said: "It's a happy event for Ling Qianjin to wear a wedding gown, how can she die?"

"Woooooo..." The mother and daughter burst into tears when they heard this, the eyes of the two girls were swollen from crying, and their faces were full of sorrow.

The old man sighed and explained: "Everyone doesn't know, recently a monster came from the Tongtian River near our village. This monster is very powerful. Here the weather is good and the food harvest is abundant; if the service is not good, blood will flow like rivers."

"Oh? How can it be regarded as good service, and how can it be regarded as bad service?" Sun Wukong glanced at the two girls and asked thoughtfully.

The old lady replied: "This monster is extremely lustful. He wants to marry a bride every seven days, and he wants to marry two brides at a time. He has been in the village for less than half a year, and he has married all the women of the right age in the village. It just so happens that it is our Chen family's turn today, I have pity on my two daughters, one is only seventeen and the other is only fifteen, woohoo...will be eaten by monsters like this..."

"Mother, my daughter doesn't want to die..." The two girls burst into tears again, and the pear blossoms were raining, which made people feel distressed.

Zhu Bajie has always been fond of women and jade, and he hates beautiful girls being wronged the most, so he immediately complained: "Such a vicious monster should be killed!"

"What the little master said is, but this monster is very vicious. Our village also pooled money to invite several Taoist priests and monks, but they were all unsuccessful. Instead, they were eaten by the monster." The old man looked at the few people with expectant eyes. Ji, but hesitant.

Although he wanted his daughter to live, he couldn't harm innocent people.

Tang Seng said: "Old benefactor, don't worry. The three apprentices of the poor monk have some skills. They escorted me all the way here and caught many demons and killed many monsters. Benefactor, you usually do good deeds and accumulate virtue, and today you take our teacher in." My disciples, kindness has finally been rewarded. My disciples can help catch the monsters in the river."

"Little master, is what you said true?" The old couple were both surprised and happy, and the two pretty girls also stopped crying, and looked at Tang Seng and the others with wide eyes.

Tang Seng smiled and said: "My disciples are just a little greedy. If you give them more food, let alone catching monsters, they are willing to fish from the river."

"Master, don't hurt us less, are we the ones who put down our bodies just for the sake of delicious food?" Sun Wukong blushed, and was hit by Tang Seng's words.

Zhu Bajie muttered: "That's right, it's all about catching monsters, fishing or something, my old pig can't do it."

As soon as he said that, the servants came out one after another with wine and dishes.Considering that they are all monks, they cook all vegetarian dishes. Even so, there is a full table, which is very rich!

Zhu Bajie immediately swallowed his words, if there are such food and drink every day, then fishing is also possible!

With food, the atmosphere suddenly became more heated, and even Sha Wujing talked more.

The old man and the old lady were still waiting for the promises from several people, but they only saw that everyone was feasting and completely forgot about them.

Finally, Sun Wukong and others ate up all the dishes on the table like a storm, and they kept talking about the lack of oil and the lack of chili, which made the old couple feel confused and didn't know what they didn't do well.

The so-called cannibalism is soft-mouthed, and it would be boring to refuse after everyone eats other people's food.

Sun Wukong promised: "Leave this matter to us. I will become your eldest daughter in a while, and my sister Taozi will become your second daughter. We will marry your two daughters."

"Okay!" Tao Tao beamed with joy, she didn't expect that she still has a place to use her skills!And tonight is the bride, it is said that the bride is the most beautiful moment in a woman's life, she can't wait to experience it.

"Brother Monkey, you want to become a woman? It's inappropriate!" Zhu Bajie was not very happy, thinking that this was a stinky monkey deliberately looking for an opportunity to get close to his sister.Hmph, when the time comes, the two of them will dress up as brides. If they are alone, it will be like getting married. Absolutely not!

And before he made a comparison between his master and his brothers, he felt that becoming a woman is the most coquettish and beautiful!Moreover, he has already developed a strong interest in it.

"What's inappropriate?" Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie said confidently: "You have never turned into a woman before, what if you reveal your secrets? I am the best at changing women, and I have a good understanding with my little sister. You can't compare with me. Besides, you and my little sister are both pretending to be girls." As a bride, who will protect the little sister?"

"Of course I'm here to protect you." Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and said with a sneer, "Having said so much, isn't it just that you idiot want to become a woman yourself? Are you really addicted to becoming a woman?"

Zhu Bajie blushed, and quibbled: "Do you care if I'm addicted or not? Anyway, my little sister and I are the most suitable brides. You can hide on the beam to protect us."

"What if the old grandson doesn't agree?" Sun Wukong said with a sullen face. This idiot is really shrewd when he shouldn't be shrewd, and always disrupts his plans.

"Then I don't agree to let the younger sister play the bride, you can play it yourself." Zhu Bajie really refused to give up an inch, and Sun Wukong was so angry that his teeth itch.

Seeing that the two disciples were arguing, Tang Seng interjected, "Wukong, Bajie's method is more secure, so you can go with the three of you. Besides, Bajie has more experience in transforming women, and he and Taozi have a better understanding in cooperating." .”

"Master, you are biased." Sun Wukong died, and even the master spoke for the dead pig, so he could only look at Tao Tao.

What can Tao Tao say?If you agree with Sun Wukong's method, I'm afraid you will be arrested by your brother and Tang Seng and brainwashed by chanting scriptures.And she was not sure why Sun Wukong wanted to pretend to be a bride with her, and she always felt that it would not be what she thought.

"Brother Monkey, let's go with three of us, it's safer."

Monkey King lost his temper, so he could only agree.

So Zhu Bajie transformed into the appearance of the eldest daughter, and Monkey King helped Tao Tao into the appearance of the youngest daughter.Seeing such a bizarre scene, the two girls of the Chen family opened their eyes wide in shock.

"Thank you benefactor! Thank you benefactor!" The two daughters looked at each other, knelt down together, and kowtowed to Zhu Bajie and Tao Tao.

The brothers and sisters helped him up, and Tao Tao said: "Don't be so polite, even if it wasn't for you, we must get rid of the monsters in the river, otherwise we won't be able to cross the river. Now you can change your clothes and hide well tonight." In the house, don't make any noise, lest you be noticed by the monster."

"Yes, we know." The two daughters were grateful, and hurried to the back room to change the wedding robes.

Tao Tao and Zhu Bajie took the two daughters' wedding robes and went to the back room to change into them.Coming out like this, I really can't tell who is real and who is fake.

Tao Tao put on the wedding dress for the first time, and felt that the whole person was festive, so she held up the skirt and spun around.

"Brother, do I look good?" She stroked the hairpin on her hair, and asked in front of Zhu Bajie.

"Of course it looks good, my sister must be the best!" Zhu Bajie praised without hesitation: "If you change into your own appearance, it will look even better!"

"If you say that, I will take it seriously." Tao Tao was delighted, and then she asked the two old people: "I don't know what the names of your two daughters are. If the monster asks us and we don't know, it will be revealed." .”

The old lady removed a big stone in her heart, and now she looked much better, and said: "My eldest daughter is called Chen Jinlian, and my second daughter is called Chen Yinzhu."

Tang Seng praised: "It sounds like a blessed name. You two benefactors, you have done good deeds and accumulated virtues on weekdays, and today you are really rewarded."

"It's all thanks to all the little masters." The old man stood up and bowed to several people after speaking.

A servant suddenly ran in from outside, and said nervously: "It's not good, master, madam, the village chief has brought someone to pick up the bride!"

"Oh? Where is this going to be picked up? Send it directly to the river?" Zhu Bajie thought that the monster would come directly to Chen's house to pick him up, so he said to hide on the beam before.

The old man shook his head and said, "I want to send the bride to the Inspiration King Temple five miles away. This temple was built with the money and efforts of the people in the village. Every seven days, two drums and gongs will be played. Send a bride there. Wait until midnight, and the monster will bring a group of little monsters to get married and go back to the river."

It was said that she was married to the river, but everyone knew that she was eaten by a monster.Thinking of this, the old man sighed again, this time he really met a good person.

Just as he was talking, the courtyard door was knocked open, and a loud man came in: "Brother Chen, we are here to meet the bride, are Jinlian and Yinzhu ready?"

"Ready, ready." The old man replied hastily, and looked at Zhu Bajie and Tao Tao again, with worry in his eyes.

"Father, mother, the daughters are going." Zhu Bajie held the hands of the old couple, acting realistically, and shed two tears.

Tao Tao was emotional, so she followed Zhu Bajie's example and hugged the old couple.

Immediately, the sound of gongs and drums sounded in the courtyard, and the suona was even louder. Surrounded by the crowd, Tao Tao and Zhu Bajie were stuffed into sedan chairs, and four people carried them to the Temple of Inspiration King.

Tao Tao was thinking about why this monster had to marry a bride every seven days, when suddenly there was a darkness around her, there was actually someone more.

"Brother Monkey?" Tao Tao lowered her voice, and Monkey King came in just like that.

"Old Sun has never sat in a sedan chair before, so let's try it too. Not to mention, this sedan chair is quite comfortable to sit on." Sun Wukong fumbled here and there, and finally looked at Tao Tao with a smile: "You really wear this dress! nice."

Tao Tao blushed, and suddenly felt a little embarrassed. Brother Hou's direct praise caught people off guard.

She held back for a long time, and finally said a word: "I think it looks good too."

Monkey King laughed, and Tao Tao really wanted to cover her mouth, so she quickly changed the subject and said, "Brother Monkey, why do you think this monster has such a big appetite? It eats two people every seven days."

Speaking of business, Monkey King also became serious: "It must be a vicious monster, don't worry, I will deal with him later."

Tao Tao's heart warmed, but she felt that there must be something hidden in it.It is said that the memory of a fish is only seven seconds. This monster is a carp spirit. Will it be possible to practice memory for up to seven days?If so, that means his memory resets every seven days.

But he still remembers marrying a bride, which means that there must be someone reminding him behind the scenes that there is more than one carp spirit in this underwater monster.

After blowing and blowing all the way, we soon walked five miles and arrived at the Temple of the Great King of Inspiration downstream.

The sedan chair fell, Zhu Bajie and Tao Tao both walked down, and looking at Monkey King, he had disappeared.

The temple is not very bright, only a few oil lamps are burning, and the scale is not small.The main hall is dedicated to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and the back hall is a bedroom where the two brides were placed.

The sound of gongs, drums and suona stopped, and the village head shouted loudly in the direction of Tongtian River: "The king of inspiration is here, today's bride has been sent to the temple, please enjoy it!"

After speaking, he bowed three times in the direction of Tongtian River, and then led the people away.

Zhu Bajie and Tao Tao sat on the wedding bed and looked at each other, Zhu Bajie secretly praised himself for being smart, if he hadn't come to be the bride himself, and let that stinky monkey sit with his sister like this, wouldn't it be a bad thing?

"Little sister, are you afraid? It will be Zishi in two quarters of an hour, and the monster is coming."

"Brother, you don't have to talk about it. I'm not afraid when Brother Monkey is here." Tao Tao has already seen Monkey King sitting on the beam of the house. If monsters can hurt her under Brother Monkey's nose, then Brother Hou should wipe his neck and commit suicide.

Zhu Bajie said unwillingly: "What's the matter with that stinky monkey? The old pig can protect you too. Little sister, I think you always look down on your brother and me."

Tao Tao quickly patted the back of his hand and comforted him, "Why would I look down on you, brother? It's just that brother Hou is the senior brother, and brother, you are the second senior brother. The senior brother must be better than the second senior brother."

"After all, you still think the stinky monkey is better than me." Zhu Bajie became even more depressed.

Sun Wukong smiled above his head and said, "Silly pig, this is something everyone knows, and you still need to think about it? When will you beat me, I will take the initiative to give you the position of senior brother."

"Stinky monkey, wait for me!" Zhu Bajie threatened, but he had no confidence.He has fought with Monkey King, and it is indeed not too far away. Among other things, Monkey King can change 72 times, but he can only change 36 times, so he loses.

"Hush..." Sun Wukong stood tall and looked far away, and suddenly saw a change in the river surface from the corner of his eye.

Tao Tao and Zhu Bajie fell silent immediately, and soon heard the splashing sound of water coming from the river.Immediately afterwards, the suona sounded, but the sound was extremely hoarse and intermittent, as if blown out by a strangled neck.

Not only is it unpleasant, it's also a little creepy.

The sound of the suona came to the outside of the temple intermittently. Suddenly, a monster aura hit, and Monkey King frowned slightly, realizing that the monster really had some skills.

"Beauty? Where is the beauty? My great king is here to greet her." A frivolous and exaggerated voice sounded in the temple, as if it was coming directly to the apse.

Suddenly another shrill voice reminded: "Your Majesty, you must pay homage to the Bodhisattva first."

"That's right, I'll forget if you don't tell me." The footsteps turned back again, and I heard the monster muttering something, but I didn't know what it was saying.After finally worshiping the Bodhisattva, he walked towards the apse again.

Sun Wukong could see clearly that the monster had a pair of big red eyes, its head was covered with golden red scales, and its mouth was a bit protruding, a bit like fish lips.Behind the monster was a dozen or twenty unevolved shrimp soldiers and crab generals. Seeing a group of shrimp and crabs, Monkey King suddenly felt a little hungry, and he didn't care about being full with vegetarian dishes tonight.

The monster quickly came to the apse, and with a pinch of his fingers, a ball of flames lit up.With the light of the flames, he saw two brides sitting on the bed at a glance, and his saliva was about to drop from joy.

When Tao Tao and Zhu Bajie saw the appearance of the monster, they curled their lips in disgust. They were so ugly, and they didn't know who gave him the courage to come here to make trouble.

"Why are the two little beauties unhappy? Are they disliking the king?" The monster's mind was quite sharp, and it unexpectedly noticed the emotions of the two of them at once.

Zhu Bajie pointed at the orchid: "Did no one tell you that you are really ugly? Hmph, it seems that the old saying is right, it really is ugly people who make more troubles."

"You little beauty is quite eloquent, but my lord likes your eloquence." The monster laughed loudly and teased Zhu Bajie by the way.He took a step forward and came to the bed, and took a good look at the two of them: "It really is a little beauty, I like it!"
