Chapter 31 Master and Apprentice
In the middle of summer in the south of the Yangtze River, it was humid and hot. Tang Monk got off his white dragon horse, took off his Vairocana crown, loosened his pine robes, and leaned against a tree trunk to enjoy the cool air.
As soon as Bai Longma turned back into the third prince, Monk Tang scolded him: "Rebellion?" He changed back again, lying on the grass feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Old Tang, isn't this the end of the world yet?"
Tang Monk hummed: "That's what's ahead..." He took out a gold-leaf book and flipped through it: "Hangzhou? There's also Hangzhou here... Don't slack off. We've all been busy for nothing. The poor monk is in Da Ci'en Temple.
You have been translating scriptures for many years, and you can only come out once every ten years. Don’t ruin my business! Otherwise, even if I spare you, the three of them will not let you go..."
Just as he was talking, several pigs brayed, and something fell from the sky. Several podocarpus trees in the forest immediately fell down, stirring up clouds of dust.
After a while, a fat pig squeezed out from the broken part of the tree. The monk's clothes were disheveled and his hat was crooked. When he saw Tang Monk leaning under the tree, his saliva flowed all over the floor.
Tang Monk said disdainfully: "You idiot, do you want to be reincarnated again?"
The fat pig shook his body and shook off the soil. At the same time, he also transformed into a fat man with a fat head and big ears. Only his nose was still arched. He stretched out his hand and pulled out the nine-tooth nail and carried it on his shoulder.
Not long after, a monster with an indigo face and red hair fell down. When he saw Tang Monk, he first called him "Master" and then called the fat man "Second Senior Brother". He also went up and patted the white dragon horse to show his closeness.
Tang Monk ignored him without hesitation. Bai Longma moved his butt to the side, while Fatty Bajie sneered: "Pretend, pretend every time!"
Suddenly I saw an auspicious cloud descending from the sky, and down came a monkey. He was wearing a chain of golden armor, a purple gold crown with phoenix wings, and lotus root silk walking on the clouds.
Tang Monk impatiently threw over a monk's robe and a tiger skin skirt: "Change into it!"
"Come again...are you bothered..." The monkey quickly changed his costume and transformed into the Monkey King.
Tang Monk threw the golden hoop again: "Put it on."
Sun Wukong put it on his head helplessly, and suddenly had a splitting headache.
The white dragon horse made a faint sound as if it was in pain, and Sha Monk said sympathetically: "Elder brother..."
Zhu Bajie laughed out loud and said: "Haha, every time I study for Buddhist scriptures, this is the most interesting one, haha!"
Tang Monk stood up and raised his nine-ring tin staff: "Let's go!"
So the Buddhist scripture-collecting team left the woods and headed towards the city of Hangzhou.
"It's something new this time. How did you get to Jiangnan? Is this the way to learn the scriptures?"
"You idiot, stop making nonsense, it's more difficult to make up eighty-one. Besides, is this Jiangnan? It's not far from Lingshan, can you use your pig brain?"
"You monkey, do you really think that this old pig is afraid of you?"
"Master, can it be done this time? Your hard work won't be in vain again, right?"
"Whether it is true or false, let God decide!"
"What kind of monster is in front of you? Which golden immortal released what kind of guardian spirit monster?"
"Have you changed the customs clearance documents yet?"
The four masters and apprentices, you carrying the burden and I leading the horse, walked along the official road to the lakeside. When they passed a large temple, they wanted to go in and place orders out of habit, but they saw "Huaixian Pavilion" written on the temple plaque.
Tang Monk pointed his tin staff forward: "Let's go!"
Zhu Bajie was sweating from the heat, wiping the sweat on his face and complaining: "Where on earth is it?"
Tang Monk said: "Passage view."
Suddenly I heard someone behind me shouting excitedly: "Journey to the West! Haha, the Great Sage! Monk Tang - no, Master Xuanzang! Bajie! Monk Sha -"
The four masters and disciples stopped and looked back, and saw a man running towards them, his face beaming with joy.
Tang Monk looked at the three of them: "Do you know them?"
The monkey shook his head: "I haven't seen it before."
Bajie said: "Perhaps I have seen us before. It is inevitable that we have eliminated calamities too many times."
Sha Monk said, "That's what the second senior brother said."
Tang Monk turned around and said, "Let's go!"
The four masters and disciples ignored him and continued walking along the lake.
The person coming was Gu Zuo, who flew to the front and blocked the way: "Oh my god, why did you leave? It's such a hot day, come and sit at my Huaixian Pavilion. Where are you going? Are you on the way to obtain Buddhist scriptures?"
The time doesn’t match up…”
The monkey, with its fiery eyes, said to Tang Monk and others, "It's not a monster."
Gu Zuo laughed: "Of course I'm not a monster, does the Great Sage still remember? Just three years ago, in the Wujiang River Basin, the Great Sage defeated the Sea of Demonic Ceremonies. I was at the scene... No, it was a big battle. At that time, you and
The Queen Mother’s daughter is still talking, Qing’e! Madam Zuogong!”
The monkey frowned and thought about it carefully. As he thought about it, he felt a headache. The pain made his whole body seem to be split in two. He screamed and somersaulted and ran away without a shadow.
Zhu Bajie laughed: "You are a funny Taoist priest. I think the monkey sighting is true. Come on, come on, tell me, old pig, what happened at that time?"
The monkey disappeared, but Zhu Bajie was also as bright as the monkey, and he was the Grand Marshal of the Canopy among the Four Saints in Heaven. Gu Zuo was also very interested in him: "Let's go, let's go to my Huaixian Pavilion as a guest."
, let me tell you. Good food, good food, enough food..."
Tang Monk frowned and clasped his hands to Gu Zuo: "Taoist Master, please. My master and disciple have important things to do. I don't want to disturb you, so I'll say goodbye."
Gu Zuo hurriedly asked: "Is it to take the scriptures? I'm wondering why I haven't finished taking the scriptures yet..."
This sentence touched the point of pain for the master and the disciples. Tang Seng simply got on the white dragon horse and drove away. Sha Seng carried his luggage and chased after him: "Master...Second senior brother, master is gone, hurry up!"
Zhu Bajie said regretfully: "I'll come see you again after the matter is over." He also hurriedly followed.
The four masters and disciples disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving Gu Zuo standing there stamping his feet: "No chance, why did you leave?"
The golden boys and girls had already followed them out, and now they all asked: "Master, when did the master make this friend?"
"The four major continents are so vast, but we can still see old acquaintances. It's not by chance, but by fate."
"Except for the monk, they all look scary. Who is the monster?"
"The monk's son... is so handsome..."
Gu Zuoyu looked at the direction in which they were going and sighed: "I can actually see them, I have no regrets in this life!"
It is said that the monkey somersaulted thousands of miles and wandered around for a few days. The headache got a little better and he returned to look for Tang Monk and others. They all gathered on the lonely mountain by the West Lake.
"The monkey was lazy and kept us busy for several days, but he was at ease." Zhu Bajie was very angry.
The monkey asked: "Have you found it?"
Zhu Bajie sneered: "Of course I found it."
The monkey said: "Then knock on the door! Why are you still standing here?"
Zhu Bajie said: "You think everyone is as reckless as you, doing things regardless of the consequences?"
The monkey stretched out his hand to scratch Zhu Bajie's ears: "Come on, come on, is the pig's skin itchy?"
Zhu Bajie clapped his hands and pushed him away: "It's not too late to fight after this matter is over."
Tang Monk said: "Bajie, tell Wukong quickly."
Bajie glared: "If you ask me to tell you, I, the old pig, will tell you?"
The monkey looked at Sha Seng: "Say!"
