Chapter 5: Seven Days and Seven Nights of War

"Old Master Gao doesn't have to do this. I have something to say to the old master and the old lady." Lu Yunfeng glanced at Gao Cuilan, and there was a hint of redness on Gao Cuilan's face, which was extremely beautiful.

"I don't know what's going on?" asked Mr. Gao and Mrs. Gao.

"Actually..." Lu Yunfeng said: "I fell in love with the lady at first sight. Yesterday I had made a private lifelong decision. I hope the old man and the old lady will fulfill it."

"ah!?"

Ten days later, Old Master Gao's family was full of noise and lively. When Lu Yunfeng came out to toast in a red wedding dress, everyone present was amazed, especially those big girls and wives, who frequently sent autumn waves, causing Lu Yunfeng to collect more than a dozen baskets of autumn spinach.

"Old Master Gao is so envious of this good son-in-law!"

Listening to the popular voices of everyone, Old Master Gao was so happy that he couldn't stop talking. Thinking about these days, he was really moved. The ups and downs of life were too fast and too exciting.

But outside Gao Laozhuang, Zhu Bajie felt very uncomfortable when he looked at the groom who came out to toast. He was obviously his wife, but he was actually snatched away by this person. Zhu Bajie felt very uncomfortable.

But the raw rice has been cooked, and no matter how unpleasant Zhu Bajie felt, it was useless. For some time after that, Lu Yunfeng and Gao Cuilan were in harmony, and Xiao Cui helped him, the couple really lived a happy life. After more than a month, Gao Cuilan became pregnant, but it made Old Master Gao and Old Mrs. Gao very happy, because Lu Yunfeng said that after this child was born, if he was a boy, his surname could be Gao.

What does this mean? In ancient times, this meant that this child could become a member of the Gao family. In the future, he could inherit the ancestral property of the Gao family and inherit the family lineage for the Gao family. For Mr. Gao, who had only three daughters but no half son, this was simply a good thing for his ancestors to smoke. To celebrate, Mr. Gao posted a "hero post" again. He had a big banquet for three days, and he could eat and drink for free when he came. As the biggest local rich man in Gao Laozhuang, Mr. Gao would not be stingy with this little thing, not to mention that Lu Yunfeng was also rich. At the beginning, he gave six boxes of gold. Mr. Gao could eat until he died even if he lie down.

Being rich means being willful!

And on the second day of the flowing water table, a monk riding a white horse and a monkey wearing a tiger-skin skirt came to Gaolaozhuang. From a distance, I saw the village so festive and crowded. Tang Monk said: "Wukong, what's wrong with it in front?"

"Master, I'll go and have a look." Sun Wukong scratched his face, and then went there with a monkey head and a monkey head, but he didn't ask yet! The person who saw him shouted: "Monster!" Then everyone was scared away.

Sun Wukong: “…”

Tang Seng came over on a horse and said helplessly: "Wukong. If you go in the future, it's better to change your appearance."

Sun Wukong was also helpless: "Master, it's too troublesome to change. Anyway, we don't stop, so why should we care about others?"

"You monkey." Tang Monk shook his head and got off from his horse. Looking at the rows of tables and chairs in front of him, as well as the various sumptuous food on the table. Tang Monk said: "Is it a festival here?"

"Where are the monsters??" At this moment, a Taoist priest in Taoist robe ran over and saw Sun Wukong in front of him. He shouted: "Where are the monsters coming from? Dare to cause trouble in Gaolaozhuang!"

"Who is the monster?" Sun Wukong was very unhappy, for some reason. When he saw the person in front of him, he felt a little disgusted, but he only thought that this person was unrighteous, so he was displeased and didn't think much about it.

"Should you be so slow," Seeing that this man was a Taoist priest, Tang Monk hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "Amitabha, I came from the great Han Dynasty in the East, followed the order of the King of Han to go to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. He passed by a precious land and wanted to stay overnight and leave tomorrow."

"It turns out to be a monk from the Tang Dynasty." The Taoist looked at Tang Monk and nodded: "Looking at the master's appearance, there is a Taoist monk. Lu Yunfeng, I am the son-in-law of Gao Laozhuang and Grandma Gao. The master invited me to come in and I will serve tea for the master."

"Amitabha, this is what disturbs me." Tang Monk handed the horse to Sun Wukong and walked into it with Lu Yunfeng. Soon a maid brought tea. After the three of them sat down, Lu Yunfeng picked up the teacup and said, "Master, please."

"Please." Tang Seng was also a kind person. After smelling the tea fragrance, he said, "What a fragrant tea." He took a sip, first bitter and then sweet, and tasted all the flavors of life. Tang Seng exclaimed, "Good tea, really good tea."

Lu Yunfeng laughed and said, "The master is coming at the right time. My wife was diagnosed with pregnancy a few days ago. My father-in-law was overjoyed and set up a banquet for three days. Today is the second day. The master can enjoy it at will, but if there is something, I still need the master to help me."

Tang Monk smiled: "Congratulations to Taoist priest, I wonder what I want to help?"

"This matter is related to the master," Lu Yunfeng said.

"Oh?" Tang Seng and Sun Wukong both came to interest: "I hope to hear the details."

"It's so that Master can know that I was also a traveler in the world. Last month, I passed by Gao Laozhuang and learned that there were monsters here, so I came to subdue the monster. Just when I was about to kill the monster, the monster said that he had to be instructed by Guanyin Bodhisattva and wanted to wait for the seeker to obtain the scriptures and protect the seeker to go to the West to seek the true scriptures. What the Master said just now was exactly the same as that monster, but he wanted to ask the master to take the monster away so as not to cause trouble again."

"What happened?" Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were both surprised. Sun Wukong's eyes turned and asked, "Where is that monster coming from? Where is it?"

"According to the monster, he was originally the Marshal of Tianpeng of the Heavenly Court. He was beaten to the mortal world just because he was drunk. However, he accidentally threw himself into a pig's fetus and turned into a pig demon. The pig demon lives in Yunzhan Cave, Fuling Mountain." Lu Yunfeng said.

"Ah~~~" Sun Wukong smiled: "I didn't expect that the Bodhisattva actually left a junior brother for Lao Sun." He turned to Tang Seng and said: "Master, let me Lao Sun take a trip and bring the monster to his apprenticeship."

Thinking that the monster was guided by Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Seng didn't dare to neglect it and nodded: "Go and go back quickly."

"Master, don't worry!" Sun Wukong smiled, then looked at Lu Yunfeng and blinked. He said, "You are a whole lot of merit and take good care of my master. If you wait for my old grandson to come back, your master will be bullied. Don't blame me for being rude."

"Wukong!" Before Lu Yunfeng could speak, Tang Seng was unhappy: "How can you talk nonsense?" Then he apologized to Lu Yunfeng: "Master, don't blame me, my disciple is just a little polite and has no malice."

Lu Yunfeng smiled faintly: "It's okay, it's the master's good disciple. If I didn't admit my mistake, could it be Sun Dasheng?"

"Do you recognize me, Lao Sun?" Sun Wukong was stunned.

Lu Yunfeng smiled slightly: "I have been practicing Taoism for more than 700 years. When Sun Dasheng made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, it caused a big deal. I heard that Sun Dasheng was pressed under the Five Elements Mountain five hundred years ago, and now the Great Saint is out of trouble, which is gratifying."

"You little Taoist priest with white face and no beard have actually practiced Taoism for more than 700 years? No wonder your magic power is not inferior to my old Sun." Sun Wukong said.

Lu Yunfeng smiled slightly: "So that the Great Sage knows. My weapon is also an iron rod, called Suixin Iron-rod soldier. It was made by me forty-nine years and countless steel. It weighs 13,500 kilograms. It can be big or small, and changes with the heart. It is similar to the Great Sage's Ruyi Golden Cudgel. If the Great Sage catches the monster and comes back, I want to compete with the Great Sage."

"Oh?" Sun Wukong became more interested and said, "You can take the weapons and show me Lao Sun."

"Sage, please see." Lu Yunfeng took out the iron soldier of Suixin from the storage ring, the size was the same as the embroidery needle. Then Lu Yunfeng said: "Big!"

In an instant, the embroidery needle turned into an ordinary iron rod, all black, but the two ends were bright silver in the shape of dragons. It was very handsome.

When Sun Wukong saw this, a hint of love flashed in his eyes. He smiled and said, "Miaomiaomiao, it's true that it's similar to my old Sun's Ruyi Golden Cudgel." As he said, Sun Wukong took out the golden cudgel from his ears, and after it became bigger, he compared it with Lu Yunfeng's Suixing Iron-core soldiers. The middle was black. The difference was that Sun Wukong's golden cudgel was golden at both ends, while Lu Yunfeng's silver one was wrapped in dragon shape. It was just looking at the appearance, Lu Yunfeng's one was better.

However, in ancient times, people always regarded gold as the most respected one, and Lu Yunfeng's silver color was a bit inferior. Overall, it was half a dozen, and each had its own merits.

Lu Yunfeng smiled and said, "How about a fight?"

A hint of excitement flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes: "Okay! Go outside, don't be shocked by Master."

"Should this be the case." Lu Yunfeng asked his subordinates to serve Tang Seng, and then went to the yard outside with Sun Wukong. Then the two of them held sticks and shouted loudly. They made a roar that shook the earth, like the thunder in the dry days, which scared the people of Gao Laozhuang.

Looking at the two weapons, they were all intact, and Lu Yunfeng and Sun Wukong also took a step back, and this attack was evenly matched.

Sun Wukong's eyes looked at Lu Yunfeng were full of heat. Since he was rescued by Tang Monk, Sun Wukong had never fought happily. At this time, he met someone who was evenly matched with him. How could he not fight happily?

So Sun Wukong forgot to conquer Zhu Bajie, and set off on the spot, laughing and said, "Happy! Come again!"

A strong sense of fighting flashed in Lu Yunfeng's eyes, and he shouted: "Today we will fight for three days and three nights! Look at the stick!"

"Good come!" Sun Wukong laughed, raised the golden cudgel, and fought with Lu Yunfeng in the same place.

In this battle, the sky was really dark, the sun and the moon were gone, and the sky was gone, and the water went through fire and water. The two of them fought for three days and three nights, but they had a total battle for seven days and seven nights. In the end, they were all tired and lay on the ground, with their eyes facing each other, and laughing.

"Happy! Happy!" Although Sun Wukong was so tired that he couldn't move, he was physically and mentally comfortable: "Except for that big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I, Old Sun, have never been so happy. What's your name for this Taoist priest?"

"Lu Yunfeng." Lu Yunfeng said: "A casual cultivator."

"There is no master?" Sun Wukong was surprised.

"Born in the earth, it has its own magical powers." Sun Wukong had long seen through the fact that he was a monster, so he simply did not hide it.

Sun Wukong muttered and said, "It's exactly the same as my old Sun."

"I don't have the courage to make trouble in the Heavenly Palace." Lu Yunfeng smiled.

Sun Wukong laughed and was quite proud: "My old grandson was having a happy life in Huaguo Mountain back then. The Jade Emperor wanted to let Lao Sun go to heaven to become an official. Originally, I, Lao Sun, thought it was a good thing, but I didn't expect that I became a horse-raising horseman, so I went back to Huaguo Mountain and refused to accept the heavenly affairs under the name of the Great Sage of the Monkey King. Xiaoyao was the king, but he didn't expect that the Jade Emperor would not give up and recruit Lao Sun to heaven and let Lao Sun manage the Pantao Garden. Hehe. Lao Sun is a monkey. How could I let Lao Sun let it go?"

"I hate the Queen Mother's Peach Banquet, but I didn't invite me, Lao Sun. The seven fairies looked down on me, Lao Sun, and secretly said that I Lao Sun was overestimating my ability. But that also made me, Lao Sun understand that the people in the Heavenly Court looked down on Lao Sun at all, so Lao Sun destroyed the Peach Banquet, stole the elixir of Taishang Laojun, and returned to the next session."

Speaking of this, a trace of gloom flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes: "But my old son never expected that the Jade Emperor actually called the Buddha Tathagata and pressed me to the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. It's hateful! It's hateful!"

Lu Yunfeng listened silently, heard Sun Wukong's hatred and asked faintly: "Why should the Great Sage protect Tang Monk from the West to obtain the scriptures?"

Sun Wukong smiled bitterly: "After all, it was the master who saved me. I, Lao Sun, was grateful for my kindness. I, always protect him well, not to mention that I, Lao Sun, can achieve the right result even after successfully obtaining the scriptures. It is a hundred times better than being a wild demon."

Lu Yunfeng sighed and said, "Yes! Without rules, there is no square. Heavenly court is like the imperial court on earth. Sun Dasheng was like a bandit in Huaguo Mountain. How could the court watch the bandits who were disobedient to discipline under his rule? It was just that the bandits of the Great Sage that were powerful in the imperial court and almost destroyed the court. But at this time, a wizard of the State Protection Master stepped forward and arrested the bandits of the Great Sage and were put in prison and suffered. In the future, he would use his origin as a temptation..."

Lu Yunfeng didn't say anything anymore because Sun Wukong was so excited that his whole body was trembling.

"Yes!" Sun Wukong smiled, and tears flowed down his face: "I, Lao Sun, is a bandit, how can I surpass the imperial court?"

Lu Yunfeng said: "This is the general trend, which is not a sin of war, but in the final analysis, the great saint is not strong enough. If the great saint's ability can be more than thirty-three days away, why should he be afraid of a small Tathagata Buddha?"

Sun Wukong was silent.

"The Great Sage made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace back then, and it was so powerful. Only five hundred years later, the Great Sage only had the cultivation level of the Golden Immortal. What went wrong in the past five hundred years?" Lu Yunfeng asked.

Sun Wukong shook his head and gritted his teeth: "One day, I, Lao Sun, will become the strongest person in the Three Realms and Six Paths!"

Lu Yunfeng smiled slightly: "At that time, the Great Sage had only practiced for more than ten years and had great supernatural powers. With the qualifications of the Great Sage, it would not take a hundred years to surpass the Tathagata Buddha. Therefore, if the Great Sage had this heart, he had to endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens before he knew that he would become the best person after suffering."

"No," said Sun Wukong, "I have been suppressed by the Five Elements Mountain for five hundred years. I have eaten all this kind of suffering, what are you afraid of? Hahaha..." Three big and small sounds, Sun Wukong got up from the ground and said, "Lu Yunfeng, I, Lao Sun, please you, how about you and me become brothers?"

"I really want to ask for it."

Back in Gaolaozhuang, Lu Yunfeng made it easier for Sun Wukong to chop chicken heads and burn yellow paper, and to make friends with eight blessed friends. In terms of age, Sun Wukong was older than Lu Yunfeng, so Sun Wukong was the eldest brother and Lu Yunfeng was the second brother.

After becoming sworn brothers, Lu Yunfeng immediately called out: "Brother!"

"Hahaha, okay!" Sun Wukong smiled happily, took Lu Yunfeng's hand and said, "My brother is not a gift. I have six sworn brothers before. In the future, when my grandson obtains the true scriptures and gets the right result, I will tell you in detail."

"As it is, big things are important." Lu Yunfeng nodded, then bowed to Tang Monk and said, "Master, please take care of the elder brother more along the way. The elder brother is a bit naughty, but he is innocent and has a clear heart. He has a sharp eyes and can see through the true body of all things. In the future, if the master encounters a disguised monster, he must listen to the elder brother's words more."

"Amitabha." Tang Sheng nodded and said, "Thank you for your advice, MAO."

Lu Yunfeng nodded, turned his head to Sun Wukong and said, "Brother, it's late today. Brother, let's rest for one night. It's not too late to go find the pig demon tomorrow."

"Just brother." Sun Wukong smiled and said, "I have been growing up for seven days and seven nights. My old man is hungry. I have some good wine and food, so I can bring it up."

"Wukong." Tang Seng was scattered again: "Monkeys cannot drink alcohol."

"Hey (three tones)." Sun Wukong disagreed: "I, Lao Sun, just wanted to protect my master to obtain the true scriptures, but I haven't accepted the Buddhist precepts yet. Is it a monk? What's the point of eating some water and wine?"

"You...this..."

"Master." Lu Yunfeng said: "If the master understood the history of Buddhism, he would understand that when Buddhism first appeared, it was allowed to eat meat and drink. However, Buddhism was later introduced to the Han Dynasty. A Buddhist emperor would rather not be an emperor than be a monk. Later, the minister exchanged the emperor with gold and silver. But the emperor ran to become a monk again. This made the civil and military officials very troubled. Because the emperor read the "abuse of killing" in the Buddhist scriptures, he wanted to cure killing from the source. The cure was to not eat meat. Since then, monks were not allowed to eat meat and drink wine."

Speaking of this, Lu Yunfeng smiled and said, "It can be seen that the Buddhist rules still serve those in power. Today's Buddhism is not pure Buddhism anymore. As long as there is Buddha in your heart, eating meat and drinking is nothing. As the saying goes, wine and meat pass through the intestines, Buddha sits in your heart, and the master is attached to it."

"Amitabha." Lu Yunfeng's words were like enlightenment, which made Tang Monk suddenly realize his thoughts and respectfully bow to Lu Yunfeng: "As a Taoist sect, Taoist priest has been a Buddhist all night long, and he is truly a great sage."

"The master does not need to be too polite." Lu Yunfeng made his body aside and smiled and said, "Buddha is the Tao. If one method is used, all things will be mastered. No matter what god, Buddha, demon, demon, or ghost, they are all spirits of heaven and earth. As long as you focus on the Tao, all things will eventually return to the sect."

"Amitabha." Tang Seng bowed devotionally. (To be continued)
