After breakfast, Tang Sanzang also took care of his face, and then taught Hu Rong to bring the white horse, and the two continued to move towards the west, and the hairy Wukong behind him continued to carry the burden and follow behind.

At the right time, the sun has risen, and the warm sunlight drives away the cold of early autumn and teaches people to be warm. Tang Sanzang immediately asked Hu Rongdao: "Wukong, I saw the tiger skin you dried just now, why didn't you see it?" ”

Hu Rong smiled: "Master, you don't know. We don't know how long it will take us to reach the West Heaven this way, and we keep this tiger skin, because if the master is hungry, he can take it out and exchange it for some fasting with others. ”

Tang Sanzang was secretly happy when he heard this, thinking that his big apprentice was thinking about himself everywhere, and his heart became more and more satisfied, and even taking himself to see the golden monkey hair of the big apprentice was much more pleasing to the eye.

Nodding secretly, Tang Sanzang asked again: "By the way, Wukong, how did you kill that tiger last night?" As a teacher, I haven't seen you carry a powerful weapon with you? ”

Hu Rong smiled, then took out an embroidery needle from his ear, pinched it with two fingers and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, I also have weapons, but I can't use weapons to deal with that evil obstacle at all." ”

"Oh? What is it? Tang Sanzang looked at the embroidery needle in Hu Rong's hand, and suddenly laughed and said, "Wukong, don't you want to hide it from me, isn't this an embroidery needle in the hands of an old woman?" How can it be considered your weapon? ”

Hu Rong didn't hide it, he directly made the embroidery needle bigger and turned it into an eyebrow-raising long stick, held it in his hand and waved it a few times and replied: "Master, the apprentice used this weapon, it was originally obtained from the apprentice Dongyang Sea Dragon Palace, it was originally the Dinghaishen needle iron used by Dayu to control the water, and now in the hands of the apprentice, it is called the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick!"

Five hundred years ago, when the disciples were making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, they carried it with them, as big as they wanted, as small as they wanted!

Just now, the apprentice turned it into an embroidery needle, hid it in his ears, and took it out when he needed it, so as to smooth the way for the master to learn scriptures in the west!! ”

Tang Sanzang was also shocked when he saw the embroidery needle in Hu Rong's hand turn into a long stick, and he was moved by Hu Rong's words.

After he took a closer look at the Ruyi golden hoop stick, he sighed with emotion: "Amitabha, I didn't expect my disciple to have such a divine weapon, I don't have to worry about it if I encounter tigers and wolves in the future, it's really the blessing of the Buddha!" ”

Hey, that's because you haven't met a monster yet - when you do, you'll know whether the Buddha is bless you or trap you, because some monsters can't be beaten at all......

But Hu Rong could only think about these words in his heart, but he said to Tang Sanzang: "Don't hide it from the master, don't say it's a tiger, even if it's a dragon, you don't dare to be rude when you see an apprentice!"

The sky can't cover my eyes, and the earth can't bury my heart! But from now on, the apprentice is only willing to accompany the master, slay the demons all the way, and clear up the ninety-nine-eighty-one difficulties!! ”

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he felt more and more that his study of the scriptures in the west would be smooth sailing under the protection of Hu Rong, so he put aside many worries and rode forward.

But it didn't take long for Tang Sanzang to feel that something was wrong, and asked sideways: "Wukong, what is ninety-nine-eighty-one difficult?" ”

"Uh...... O Bouket! ”

"Phuket? So what? ”

"Uh...... It is a small island near the West Tianling Mountain, called Buji...... Legend has it that there was a Phuket monk who practiced there, pinching the fingers of his left hand for nine and his right hand for nine, known as ninety-nine eighty-one......"

"Oh...... Is that so? Goku? Don't you want to deceive as a teacher? ”

"The apprentice is upright and law-abiding, and he will never tell half a lie......", Hu Rong finished speaking, thinking: Because Lao Tzu did not have a word of truth in his mouth......

……

The master and apprentice were walking, talking, not feeling that the sun was noon again, Tang Sanzang looked up at the sky, only felt that his mouth was dry, so Le Ma said to Hu Rong: "Wukong, I feel a little tired for the teacher, find some shady places to avoid the heat." ”

That's a lot of!

Hu Rong pursed his lips, but he shouted "yes" on his lips, and then ran to the white horse to help Tang Sanzang under a big tree, and then said to him: "Master, are you thirsty?" I'm going to get you some cold water. ”

Tang Sanzang nodded, and said in his mouth: "Wukong, go and return quickly, don't be greedy for the scenery and forget to be here as a teacher." ”

"Yes, Master." , Hu Rong took out the golden hoop stick from his ear and drew a circle around Tang Sanzang on the ground, and then explained to Tang Sanzang: "Master, this is a demon subduing circle drawn by the apprentice, no demon or monster can step on it, you just need to stay inside and wait for the apprentice." ”

After speaking, Hu Rong took the purple gold bowl and flew into the sky with a somersault, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When he appeared again, the person had come to the vast western sea, Hu Rong looked at the sea surface with his eyes, and secretly thought to himself:

"It is estimated that I will meet the little white dragon in a few days, thinking that the little white dragon is the prince of the West Sea, he was sentenced to death for burning the pearl, and was later exempted from the death penalty by Sister Guanyin, and became a member of the Journey to the West team.

Speaking of which, from beginning to end, this is a Buddhist calculation, and it is simply to find a mount for Tang Seng - but the Dragon King of the West Sea at this time doesn't know! So don't you take the opportunity to ask the old dragon king of the West Sea for some benefits? ”

So Hu Rong pinched the water avoidance trick with one hand, and then jumped into the sea head-on, separated the waterway, and swam towards the bottom of the West Sea. In the middle of the line, he suddenly saw a yaksha patrolling the sea, blocked Hu Rong and asked, "What is the sacredness of the person who pushed the water?" Make it clear and greet you. ”

Hu Rong replied: "Idiot, don't you even recognize your Grandpa Sun of Huaguo Mountain for five hundred years?" ”

When the yaksha heard the six words of Grandpa Sun of Huaguo Mountain, he hurriedly reflexively sneaked into the crystal palace and reported: "King, disaster is coming!" The monkey who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago is back!! ”

Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, was so shocked that his wine glass fell, he stood up and said urgently, "Sun Monkey escaped from the Five Elements Mountain, he must have come to take revenge, what should I do?" What can I do? ”

Prime Minister Gui Cheng said on the side: "King, I don't think Sun Monkey is necessarily here to retaliate!" It's like an old friend visiting your door. ”

Xihai Ao Yan asked in surprise, "Why is this?" ”

Prime Minister Kamito explained: "With the temper of that monkey, if he really came to retaliate, how could he be so calm and let Yaksha come in to report?? So I think the king should invite him in, and if there are any requirements, we will try to solve them as much as possible! ”

Xihai Ao Yan felt that the turtle prime minister was reasonable, so he led a group of dragon sons and dragon grandsons, shrimp soldiers and crabs out of the palace to greet him: "I don't know that Sun Dasheng has arrived, Xiaolong has missed the distance, please forgive me!" Please come in, please come in! ”

After all, reach out and don't hit the smiling person. Hu Rong also smiled and said a few polite words, then followed the dragon king into the palace to take a seat, and after drinking a few sips of tea, he heard the dragon king of the West Sea Ao Yan ask: "I don't know if the great sage came to the crystal palace this time, I don't know what the so-called thing is??" ”

Hu Rong put down the teacup, and saw that everyone in Xihai had a strange face, and suddenly realized that his predecessor, Sun Wukong, had frightened this group of people.

So he smiled and replied: "Old Dragon King, don't be afraid, Lao Tzu didn't come here today to rob, but to have an important thing to tell you." ”

Xihai Ao Yan was a little surprised when he heard this, and thought that this dead monkey had become much more polite after being suppressed by the Buddha. So his heart relaxed a little, and he said: "I don't know what the great sage wants to say, please speak up." ”

Hu Rong smiled, glanced at the calm Dragon King of the West Sea in front of him, and then leaned his head over and whispered, "Does the old Dragon King still remember that you have a third son who is still alive?" ”
