Chapter 257: Blackwater River
"But Master...... You've just ......"
Zhu Bajie on the side couldn't hold back his curiosity, and made a gesture of stroking up and down several times on his left wrist with his right hand, and asked. "How did you get that golden hoop off?"
"What's this?" Tang Sanzang had a thoughtful look on his face, smiled, and said. "Actually, it's very simple."
Immediately, the red boy's ears stood tall and listened attentively.
"The poor monk seized the opportunity just now, and took advantage of the fact that the golden hoop was not paying attention, so he took him off." Tang Sanzang said as a matter of course.
While the golden hoop is not paying attention?
???
All.
Obviously, such a strange statement made everyone suddenly have the illusion of talking about it all day and night.
"Huh? Maybe it's possible! Sha Seng seemed to remember something and said.
"Lao Sha? What do you think of. Zhu Bajie asked.
"Second Senior Brother, what do you think, those powerful magic weapons and the like, such as Senior Brother's Golden Hoop Stick, have extraordinary spirituality, they know how to speak, and they can even make many changes as Senior Brother intended, so the reason why the golden hoop on Red Boy's body can't be taken off may be the reason for the maintenance of that spirituality."
The more Sha Seng spoke, the more reasonable he felt, and for a while he felt that his wisdom had increased a lot since he followed his master.
When Zhu Bajie heard this, his eyes lit up, and he added. "Therefore, what the master just said about taking advantage of the golden hoop'er not caring about it may be that he seized the opportunity of the golden hoop'er's spiritual inattention, so he took it off."
This is reasonable, so Tang Sanzang didn't know how to refute it.
Since then, it has opened the door for the red boy to amuse himself, constantly doing all kinds of things to try to distract the golden hoop, and then trying to take the opportunity to take it off.
I don't know if the red boy really inherited a bit of the recklessness of the Bull Demon King, and he didn't get discouraged at all when he tossed like this every day, and even often used excuses to show goodwill, wanting to learn the method of "taking advantage of the golden hoop'er not paying attention" from Tang Sanzang.
"Want to learn? The poor monk taught you. Tang Sanzang didn't have the slightest intention of hiding his selfishness, and then Tang Sanzang sent the red boy to recite the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra".
Tang Sanzang never spoke, so what he said to Guanyin Bodhisattva before that he planned to educate the red child was not a lie.
Red Boy, a lawless bear child, mostly does things according to nature and preferences, so Tang Sanzang intends to see if this "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" can be taught to him.
Immediately, in order to give the red boy a stable learning environment, Tang Sanzang also asked the monkey to take him in with a jade bottle.
As a magic weapon used by Taishang Laojun to hold jade dew, ingesting living beings and turning them into blood and water is just one of its functions, but its greater function is to contain living creatures.
In this way, it can be regarded as a punishment for trying to sneak attack the poor monk, and I also hope that this can reduce the anger of the red child, otherwise Tang Sanzang is really worried that after releasing this red child, he will encounter retaliation.
……
Since then, Tang Sanzang and his entourage have been on the road to the west as usual, except that every night when Tang Sanzang recites the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra, an additional jade bottle will be placed in front of him, everything seems to have not changed in the slightest.
A month passed so peacefully.
And since crossing the quicksand river back then, Tang Sanzang's front was once again intercepted by a big river.
It's just that compared with the magnificent waves of "800 quicksand realms and 3,000 weak water depths", the river in front of him is very much like the sewage river in Tang Sanzang's memory.
Looking at it, the black water was surging between his eyes, if it weren't for the familiar stench, Tang Sanzang really thought that he had dreamed back to his previous life.
"Why is this river so dark?" Tang Sanzang asked.
"Or someone's house washes the pen and inkstone." Zhu Bajie looked at the ink-like river and smiled. "I'm afraid that there will be a talent in the world that is enough to compare with Wenqu Xing."
"Second Senior Brother, don't laugh, the reason why this river is so dark seems to be caused by the black mud surging at the bottom of the river, which has been caused by many years, I'm afraid that there are monsters in this river."
The sand monk who has lived in the quicksand river for hundreds of years said quite experienced.
"That monkey brother looks like he's going to be powerful again." Zhu Bajie suddenly remembered something, and said with a smile.
When the monkey heard this, his face couldn't help but darken.
Although the monkey can also avoid the water trick and other magic channel techniques, but this is only to ensure that he can come and go freely in the water, if he fights in the water, his combat power can be said to be one in ten, even the sand monk can't help it.
"You idiot, you're going to beg for a beating, aren't you?" The monkey said sarcastically. "The combat power of our group is relatively good, even if you enter the water, you can't compare to Ao Yu, how proud are you?"
"That's better than a monkey who can only go to the sky and can't go into the water!" Zhu Bajie's eyes flicked towards the black water river, and the meaning was self-evident.
"You ......"
Regarding the two daily "friendly" interactions between the monkey and Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang could only shake his head helplessly, and he had no intention of stopping it.
As the saying goes: beating is kissing, scolding is love.
Bajie's thoughts, Tang Sanzang understands very well, it is nothing more than a lack of love, and he needs his monkey brother to love him.
And Ao Yu, who was incarnated as a white dragon horse, walked next to Tang Sanzang and rubbed Tang Sanzang with his head, and a crisp and lovely voice sounded in Tang Sanzang's mind.
"Brother Holy Monk, do you want Ao Yu to open the way for Brother Holy Monk like last time?"
Upon hearing this, Tang Sanzang's compassionate and calm expression actually looked a little shy, after all, if Ao Yu wanted to do this, he needed to draw strength from the poor monk......
Or is it "mending"?
Last time, Tang Sanzang didn't react for a while, but this time he had a lesson from the past, but Tang Sanzang couldn't repeat the mistakes of the past.
After all, if this continues, will the poor monk still be able to do it?
Just as Tang Sanzang was about to reject Ao Yu in his mind, and let her go to the Yuanjie Tree to play and relieve her boredom, there was a shout from above the Heishui River.
"The elder ahead, but you want to cross the river?"
"It's ......" Seeing this, the sand monk who was thinking hard about the master's method of crossing the river safely saw this, and after getting Tang Sanzang's consent, he walked to the river and beckoned.
"The benefactor of the boat, please come over and come to the ferry!"
With the shouts of the sand monk, the boat on the black water river slowly approached from the upper reaches.
However, the boat was carved out of wood, with only a narrow hatch in the middle, and it was quite reluctant to sit even two people except for the captain.
After the captain supported the boat to the shore, his eyes swept away, and his eyes hidden under the hat showed a little surprise, and then he bowed slightly.
"Elders, little old man has come to courtesy."
