Just when Sun Wukong was about to kill the Yellow Wind Monster with a stick, someone suddenly shouted, "Great Sage and Assistant".

Sun Wukong looked back and saw a Bodhisattva flying over, and the Bodhisattva came to Sun Wukong and said, "Poor monk Lingji, please don't kill this fool if you want to kill this fool." ”

"Oh, Lingji Bodhisattva, why are you protecting him?" asked Sun Wukong.

Lingji Bodhisattva said, "It's not that I want to protect him, but that he often listens to the scriptures in front of Rulai, and now he is half an apprentice of Rulai, so I rescued him and received him in the Western Heaven Buddhism, and it is good for him to be a little monk." ”

"Oh, I see, well, you take him away. Sun Wukong said.

"Oh, thank you so much. Lingji Bodhisattva said.

Then the Yellow Wind Monster said, "Bodhisattva, I lost my oil lamp. ”

"Lost the oil lamp?" Lingji Bodhisattva's expression couldn't help but change, and he said, "Who took it?"

The Yellow Wind Monster said, "I don't know, it was still there before, but when I woke up just now, it was gone." ”

Lingji Bodhisattva looked at Sun Wukong and said, "Great Sage, do you know?"

"I don't know, I don't know" Sun Wukong hurriedly cleared himself.

"Oh" Lingji Bodhisattva nodded, and then said, "If you lose it, you lose it, it's just a magic weapon, it doesn't matter, let me go." ”

The Yellow Wind Monster was helpless, and left with Lingji Bodhisattva, walking for five or six hundred miles, Lingji Bodhisattva suddenly said, "Really lost?"

"I'm really lost," said the Yellow Wind Monster.

"What's the use of you?" After speaking, Lingji Bodhisattva sent out a Buddha light to cover the Yellow Wind Monster, and in the scream of the Yellow Wind Monster, it turned into a ball of flying ash and scattered with the wind, and Lingji Bodhisattva turned around and left.

Here Sun Wukong took out the oil lamp of the Yellow Wind Monster, and there was no yellow sand in the lamp at the moment, but for some reason, as long as this lamp blows, it can blow out the yellow sand all over the sky, which is really powerful.

Sun Wukong quietly hid the lamp so that outsiders could see it, and then took Tang Ying and left the Yellow Wind Monster's lair.

Sun Wukong and Tang Ying left the Yellow Wind Monster's lair, and then headed in the direction they came, where Zhu Bajie and Little White Dragon were.

Back in the woods where the two of them were, Zhu Bajie was still a little pig, and the little white dragon was lazily leaning against a tree, they saw Tang Ying and Sun Wukong coming back, the little white dragon said excitedly, "Senior brother, was the monster killed by you?"

Sun Wukong said, "I didn't kill him, let Lingji Bodhisattva save him." ”

"What, rescued?" Zhu Bajie jumped up violently and turned into a giant pig, as if he couldn't believe it.

"yes, rescued. Sun Wukong looked helpless, and casually found a tree to lean on, looking quite helpless.

Zhu Bajie said, "Why was he rescued?"

Sun Wukong said, "There is a backstage." ”

The little white dragon sighed, "Backstage, alas, why don't I have a backstage, my life is miserable." ”

Sun Wukong said, "No way, the difference between demons and demons is so big." ”

The three of them couldn't help sighing, and Tang Ying said, "Wukong, all people are created equal, so let go of your heart." ”

Sun Wukong said, "Although people are born equal, but demons and demons are destined to fate at birth, demons with good qualifications are taken care of by countless people, and demons with poor qualifications can only be reduced to low-level demons, Tang Ying, how do you explain it?"

Tang Ying said, "That's why there must be a Buddha, the Buddha talks about reincarnation, the previous life was a demon with bad qualifications, this life can be a demon with good qualifications, reincarnation is not stopped, there are endless possibilities, in reincarnation the demon and people are no longer fixed, but have infinite possibilities, all beings have infinite possibilities, we Buddha does not require everyone to be exactly the same, not to require all beings to have exactly the same qualifications in this life, but all beings are likely to get strong qualifications. ”

Sun Wukong said, "But does reincarnation have to be all random? If someone has been very unlucky and reincarnated with bad qualifications and bad bodies, while some people are reincarnated with good qualifications and good bodies and are good every time, is this considered fair?"

Tang Ying said, "Wukong, don't dwell on those details, as long as all beings have the same chance, isn't it?"

Hearing Tang Ying say this, Sun Wukong was reluctant to speak anymore, the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism has been going on for a long time, and it is not who has a high cultivation who is right, the real problem is the debate between the Buddha and the Tao, the Buddha is idealistic and the Tao is materialistic, but this world is composed of things and hearts, the key to man is spirit, and the key to heaven and earth is material, the Tao is natural, representing heaven and earth, and Buddhism is boundless, representing people's hearts.

Buddha and Tao have their own characteristics, and according to Tang Ying's view, the Tao is too broad and not as specific as Buddhism.

But in Sun Wukong's view, the Buddha has too many constraints, and it is not as casual as Taoism.

There is no obvious boundary between Buddhism and Taoism, but there are completely different concepts, just like the two sides of Taiji, one side is the Buddha, and the other side is the Tao.

After Tang Ying finished speaking, Sun Wukong did not continue to speak, but smiled.

The atmosphere fell silent, and after a while, Sun Wukong said, "Ying, it's time to continue west." ”

"Okay" Tang Ying nodded, and then continued westward with Sun Wukong, Xiao Bailong and Zhu Bajie also followed.

Zhu Bajie became a giant pig very diligently and held up Tang Ying, Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong also sat on the back of the pig, it makes no sense not to take advantage of it, so the two of them are too lazy to use mana to move forward, wouldn't it be better to let Zhu Bajie carry it?

Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, two months passed, Zhu Bajie stopped and stopped, and Tang Ying had to stop to rest and eat every day, Sun Wukong and Xiaobailong reluctantly accepted it, and fully recognized that Tang Ying was the most important one among them.

Then, two months later, they came to a river that was separated by a river on the westbound road.

Next to this river, there are three big characters written "Quicksand River".

Tang Ying was shocked when he saw the quicksand river, because it is said that the Tang monks of the first nine generations died here, and they traveled west nine times in nine reincarnations, and all of them failed and died here.

Although Tang Ying knew that Wuchao had changed her life for herself, she was still nervous, and it was false to say that she was not nervous, how could she not be nervous? She was really nervous.

Looking at this quicksand river, Tang Ying thought in her heart, if she just passed like this, she would definitely be eaten by the sand monk halfway It is said that the sand monk has a very high mana, more powerful than Zhu Bajie, slightly worse than Sun Wukong, if it is suddenly launched, I am afraid that Sun Wukong will not have time to protect her, after thinking about it, it is better to let Sun Wukong investigate according to the original book.

At this point, the side quest is triggered.

"Side quest, subdue the sand monk, take the sand monk westward, and successfully reward 1,000 reincarnation points, and there is no punishment for failure. ”

There is no penalty for failure in this mission, which means that even if it fails, there is nothing, but Tang Ying doesn't want this mission to fail, because she knows too well what it means to fail the mission, and failing the mission means that something terrible will happen.

As for what will happen, Tang Ying knows that once the westbound team is incomplete, then it will be equivalent to a lack of luck, this luck is very mysterious, it is simply elusive, without a piece of luck, it is very likely that the westward journey will not be a complete success, the key to the westward journey will not be a complete success, Tang Ying is afraid that he will be left in this world forever.

And stay in this world forever, Tang Ying doesn't want to be a monk for the rest of her life, she will always be a vegetarian, and she will never be allowed to have men and women, so she will suffocate to death.

Thinking of this, Tang Ying made up her mind that she must leave this world and complete this westward journey.

Tang Ying walked up to Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, go down and investigate." ”

"Oh, okay" Sun Wukong nodded, jumped over, and then jumped down.

Of course, Sun Wukong is not afraid of water, he has also made trouble in the Crystal Palace of the Dragon King of the East China Sea, and he has not seen him afraid of any water, at this moment Sun Wukong is naturally not afraid of a mere quicksand river.

Sun Wukong entered the quicksand river and touched the bottom of the river, and soon Sun Wukong saw a person at the bottom of the river who was chained, and his body was chained and could only move in a limited range.

Sun Wukong walked up to this man and said, "Who is Your Excellency? Why are you trapped here?"

"Monkey King?" the man asked.

"Not bad," Sun Wukong said.

"Hmph, it turned out to be you, when you made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I broke the glass cup, and as a result, the Jade Emperor cancelled the immortal book, and was relegated to this place, and suffered the pain of three flying swords piercing my heart every day, you should die. ”

"Tsk, what do you have to do with me breaking the glass cup?" Sun Wukong said.

Sha Seng said, "When you made trouble in the Heavenly Palace, hypnotized many heavenly generals, I was also the one who was hypnotized, I woke up from my slumber, looked left and right, and accidentally touched the glass cup placed on the candlestick, and then the glass cup fell to the ground and shattered, who else did you say you hurt me?"

"I can't count, it's clear that you were careless, and Hugh blames me. Sun Wukong snorted coldly when he said that Sha Seng said, "Did you escort Tang Ying to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

"How do you know?" asked Sun Wukong.

Sha Seng said, "Why don't you save me and take me with me, and give me a little merit to end the cause and effect." ”

"Shall I take you with me? No need, I'll be enough myself. Sun Wukong said.

After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong turned around and flew away.

Back on the shore, Sun Wukong said, "Tang Ying, there's nothing in the water, let's cross the river, right?"

"Oh, then Wukong, you turn into a boat, let's paddle over. Tang Ying said.

Sun Wukong said, "How slow the paddling is, it's better for me to carry you." ”

Tang Ying's heart suddenly, Sun Wukong never said that he would carry her before, what's wrong? No, there must be monsters in the water, it is very likely to be Sha Seng, why didn't Sun Wukong say it? It is possible that Sha Seng was not accepted by Sun Wukong.

Thinking of this, Tang Ying said to Sun Wukong, "Wukong, our road to learn from the scriptures, all the way is difficult and dangerous, one more person will have one more guarantee, as for the things you want to share merits, you don't need to think too much, one person goes, it is one merit, two people go, it is two merits, whether it is one person to go, or two people to go, your merit will not be less, there is no problem of dividing merit, so you don't need to worry." ”

"Really?" asked Sun Wukong.

"It's true, of course. Tang Ying said

。

Sun Wukong nodded and said, "There is indeed a monster called Sha Seng under the water, who wants to go with us to learn scriptures and beg me to save him, since Ying said that you want to save him, then I will save him." ”

Sun Wukong went into the water again, and then came to Sha Seng again, and said to Sha Seng, "Sha Seng, you are lucky, my friend Tang Ying is a good person, she sees you pitiful, and decides to take you up, take you to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, you have to serve her well in the future, you have to know and thank her." ”

"Okay, I get it. Sha Seng said.

Then Sun Wukong rescued Sha Seng and took Sha Seng to the shore, Sha Seng knelt down and said, "Master Tang Ying, I am willing to go west with you, and I hope you can take me in." ”

"Well, I promised you, it's just that it's a difficult journey to the west, have you really thought about it?" Tang Ying said.

Sha Seng said, "I'm not afraid of hardship, I'm not afraid of being tired, Master Tang Ying, please take me with you, okay?"

"It's okay to take you from me. Tang Ying said.

The five people continued to travel west, Zhu Bajie continued to become a giant pig, and there are now four people sitting on the back of the giant pig, namely Little White Dragon, Sha Seng, Sun Wukong, and Tang Ying.

Continue all the way to the west, and gradually move away from the quicksand river and can't see the quicksand river.

After walking for another two months, they suddenly came to a beautiful place, where the scenery was excellent, and when a manor knocked on the door, they saw a beautiful woman in the door, Zhu Bajie had become a handsome boy, and he couldn't always be used as a mount.

The five people walked in, and the beautiful woman said, "Everyone, have you gone to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?"

Sun Wukong said, "Yes." ”

Sun Wukong looked like a beautiful woman, and the beautiful woman laughed, "This young lady talks a lot, and she looks very delicate and lovely." ”

Zhu Bajie said, "In Xia Zhu Gang's sideburns, I have seen my mother." ”

The beautiful woman was startled and said, "Why do you call me mother?"

"Sister?" Zhu Bajie said again.

"It's so sweet. The beautiful woman said.

The five of them were welcomed into the Zhuangzi, and then the beautiful woman said, "I have three daughters, all of whom are not married, I wonder if you want one to be a wife?"

Sha Seng, Sun Wukong, Little White Dragon, and Tang Ying are all women (or for change), and only Zhu Bajie is a man, Zhu Bajie stepped forward and said, "Among my group, I am the only one who is suitable." ”

"Tsk, it's for the handsome boy, I don't know which of my three daughters do you like?"

Zhu Bajie said, "You have to look at this to know!"

The beautiful woman said, "Meilian, Meiying, Meimei, have come out to welcome guests." ”

Then I saw three beautiful girls running out, they stood there with a shy look, looking at Tang Ying and a few of them, Zhu Bajie's eyes were straight, I don't know why, looking at these women, he had a special feeling, Sun Wukong couldn't help but take a look, not fascinated by the appearance, but felt that these women were very extraordinary.

I don't know why, I feel that this woman is so extraordinary.

When Sun Wukong felt strange, Tang Ying had already understood that these women should all be Bodhisattvas, and they came to test them, and this time she said nothing to make Zhu Bajie embarrassed.
