Chapter 33: The Sand Monk
Sun Wukong's strength is absolutely strong, but when dealing with monsters, Tang Seng feels that it should be more simple and rude.
At the end, Tang Seng added: "Of course, it's best not to hurt the innocent." After all, as a monk, you have to be compassionate. ”
Sun Wukong blinked, and there was a realization in his heart: "Simple, rude! Yes, Master, my old Sun understands!"
When the words fell, Sun Wukong flew up again, the golden hoop stick in his hand became longer and thicker, and then stabbed into the quicksand river.
"Boom ......"
The riverbed shook and the waves rolled back.
The quicksand in the quicksand river splashed out and flew in all directions.
"Boom ......"
The golden hoop stick was picked up by Sun Wukong and slammed into the quicksand river again, and suddenly the river rolled back and flooded the riverbank.
"Whoosh!"
In the end, Sun Wukong flew directly into the quicksand river, and the river gradually calmed down, but at this time, the quicksand river had been almost destroyed, the riverbed was broken, and the river leaked.
It is estimated that it will not be long before the river dries up.
This is the Monkey King, who has the power to move mountains and seas.
The quicksand river has calmed down, and all the water that was rolled out before has flowed back, causing flooding.
Fortunately, there is no village nearby or anything like that, otherwise there would have been deaths.
He didn't have to wait long for a streamer to break through the river and fly out and fall in front of the dragon turtle.
It was Sun Wukong, who was carrying a guy who was beaten half to death, it was the previous red-bearded monster.
"Master, this monster said that he is also Guanyin and is waiting here for the person to learn the scriptures. Sun Wukong said.
Tang Seng immediately smiled, looked at the red-bearded monster, and had expected it.
"You are the Tang Dynasty monk who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?" The red-bearded monster looked at Tang Seng in surprise, and then knelt on the ground: "Quicksand Holy King, meet Master!"
"Quicksand Saint King?" Tang Seng was stunned.
"Yes, my body is the Quicksand River, monopolizing this area and proclaiming myself the Quicksand Saint King. The red-bearded monster said.
Tang Seng suddenly realized that "Journey to the West" did not explain in detail what Sha Seng's ontology was, of course, perhaps, this world is different from the Journey to the West in the previous life.
There are many versions of Journey to the West in the previous life, and one of them even says that the sand monk is a white spider at the bottom of the river.
And Sha Seng's previous life, it should be the general of the rolling shutter, yes, no matter which version of Journey to the West, this has not changed.
"Okay, you put this on first. Tang Seng threw the last golden hoop to the Quicksand Saint King.
The Quicksand Saint King hesitated slightly, then put on the golden hoop.
Tang Seng clasped his hands together and chanted a mantra.
Suddenly, a golden light flashed on the Quicksand Saint King's body, and the red beard quickly faded, leaving only a part of the black beard, and the red hair on the top of his head also disappeared, directly turning into a bearded monk.
Moreover, the fierce aura on the original quicksand saint king has disappeared completely, and he really looks like a monk.
"Huh?"
"Oh?"
Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong both looked at the Quicksand Saint King in surprise, because they both felt that the evil thoughts of the Quicksand Saint King had been suppressed.
At the same time, Tang Seng also understood a little that Sha Seng's 'golden hoop' should be a function that can make people put down the butcher knife and be dedicated to goodness, which is indeed magical.
Three apprentices, three hoops, each with its own effect.
In some versions of Journey to the West, Guanyin Bodhisattva did not give Tang Seng three hoops.
But in this westward journey world where Tang Seng is located, Guanyin Bodhisattva directly gave all the three hoops to the original Tang Seng, and Tang Seng of course made the best use of everything.
The Quicksand Saint King also touched his bare head in surprise, and at the same time, he felt that his heart was much calmer, and he would no longer want to eat people at every turn like before.
"This thing was given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, one for each of your three brothers, and it is a perfect match. Tang Seng said with a smile.
"Meet Master!" the Quicksand Saint King kowtowed again.
"Okay, since you worship the poor monk as a teacher, then the teacher will give you a name, just 'Sha Wujing', your quicksand river is too turbid, and you can understand the pure river a lot. Tang Zeng said.
"Yes, Master!"
From now on, there will be no quicksand saint king, only sand monks.
"Hehe, you will be the third senior brother in the future, and I am the second senior brother. Zhu Bajie said happily, he is finally not the youngest.
"Lao Sha, I'm a senior brother. Sun Wukong also smiled.
"Senior brother, second senior brother. "Sha Wujing hurriedly visited the two senior brothers, especially Sun Wukong, very jealous, he was almost killed just now, if it wasn't for the critical moment to report 'This king is a Bodhisattva person, you dare to touch this king', I'm afraid I'm dead now.
Therefore, some things are destined, even if Tang Seng does not deliberately want to accept apprentices, he will be destined to accept apprentices, and it is difficult to change, unless Tang Seng insists on not accepting them.
"Hmph, I'm the real second senior brother. Suddenly, the dragon turtle said unconvinced.
"Little White Dragon, are you a mount, or be an honest mount, my old pig is the second senior brother. Zhu Bajie patted the dragon turtle's head.
"Hmph!" the little white dragon snorted coldly.
"Amitabha, you brothers and sisters should live in harmony. Tang Seng looked at Zhu Bajie: "Bajie, I heard that the teacher heard that pigs can also be used as mounts." ”
"Ahh Zhu Bajie hurriedly retreated.
"Hahahaha......" Sun Wukong laughed.
"It's getting late, let's keep walking. Tang Seng returned to the back of the dragon turtle and said with a wave of his hand.
The dragon turtle suddenly walked forward, flowing directly into the quicksand river, carrying Tang Seng and the three of them across the river.
"Senior Brother Sha, the luggage will be handed over to you, and the second senior brother wants to fight monsters. Zhu Bajie handed over the luggage to Sha Wujing, and then caught up with the dragon turtle.
Sun Wukong also soared into the sky, went to the sky to see the road, and soon fell down again, walking honestly.
Although Sha Wujing is a little reluctant to take the salute, who made him the least qualified?
The previous injuries are also recovering as quickly as possible, and picking this bit of luggage has no effect.
However, there is not much luggage, just the things brought from Datang, as well as some field supplies collected on the road, such as pots and pans, etc., there are two boxes in total, which can be picked up into a load.
It seems that whether it is Journey to the West in the previous life or this world, Sha Seng cannot avoid the fate of picking things.
The quicksand river has been damaged by Sun Wukong, and the river flows backwards, which is very shallow at this time, and the three apprentices can pass it by flowing water.
Soon, the dragon turtle reached the other side first, Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie also went ashore, and finally the sand monk went ashore, and followed the dragon turtle in the direction of the setting sun.
After the sand monk walked away, the originally turbid quicksand river became clear at a speed visible to the naked eye, and the originally turbulent river water quickly calmed down.
Tang Seng sat on the throne on the back of the dragon turtle and casually received today's sign-in treasure chest.
After thinking about it, he decided to continue to save it, and he always felt that it would be difficult to open the box now, and he was afraid that it would be difficult to open good things.
Prepare to save it for the back and open it in one go, and there will definitely be a huge surprise at that time.
Anyway, it is already an earth immortal-level existence, and there are several major apprentices to protect it, so there is no need to worry about his own safety.
After resting the next day, Tang Seng and his apprentices continued to travel west, and it didn't take long for them to see a huge manor in front of them.
