After traveling for more than a month, he suddenly heard the sound of water, and Sanzang exclaimed: "You guys, where is the sound of water again?" After hearing this, Wukong smiled and said, "Master, Tee is also suspicious and can't be a monk." We are five together, and you may hear the sound of water. Have you forgotten the "Sutra of Many Hearts" again? Tang Seng said: "The Duoxin Sutra is dictated by the Wuchao Zen Master of Futu Mountain, with a total of 54 sentences and 270 words. I heard it at the time, and I still remember it often, do you know that I forgot that sentence? ”

Wukong said: "Master, you have forgotten 'no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind'. When we wait for the monks, we don't see with our eyes, we don't hear with our ears, we don't smell with our nose, we don't taste with our tongues, we don't know the cold and heat, and we don't have delusions. Now you are seeking scriptures, thinking about it, afraid that the demons will not give up your body, you want to fast and eat and move your tongue, like the sweet smell of your nose, smell the sound of surprise, see things and gaze, attract these six thieves, how can you be born to see the Buddha in the west? ”

Chen Fan on the side coughed twice, this monkey is too good at talking about Tang Seng, looking at the smiling Bajie, the honest Sand Seng and the silent Tang Seng, he said slowly: "You monkey head, what are you talking nonsense?" The sound of water vibrates, how can it not be? There will be a great river in front of us not far away! ”

Tang Seng was overjoyed when he heard this, and hurriedly said, "Senior brother! You hear that, too! ”

"It's nature!" Chen Fan sat on top of the white tiger and said slowly, and then glanced at Wukong, the monkey laughed twice, jumped and ran to the front.

I saw that there was a black water in front of me, and the horse could not enter. And they stood on the shore and looked carefully, but they saw that there were thick waves and turbid waves, and there were no living creatures around to drink, not even above the river of black water.

"I'm afraid this river is not easy to cross!" Chen Fan said lightly.

Tang Seng turned over and dismounted, looked at the incomparably dark river water with some surprise, and asked, "Why is this water black?" Bajie said: "It's the one who splashed the indigo." Sha Seng said: "Otherwise, who is washing the pen and inkstone." ”

"This is the Black Water River, because the water is so dark, it is called the Black Water River, and I don't know why the river is so dark." Chen Fan said with a smile.

Sun Wukong glanced at the river, there was not even a figure nearby, let alone the ferry, and after listening to Chen Fan's words, he smiled and said, "There is also Uncle Shi, you don't know?" But the river is so wide, how do you cross it? ”

"How wide is the river?" Tang Seng asked.

"About ten miles." Bajie said.

"Which of you crossed the river as a teacher?" Tang Seng looked at his three apprentices and said, and then they all looked at Bajie.

"What do you think my old pig does? If I am an old pig alone, don't you know that carrying mortals is like carrying Mount Tai, if you ......" Bajie was interrupted by Chen Fan before he finished speaking.

"Wukong used your golden hoop stick to drive to the other side, this river is not easy to cross." Chen Fan said lightly.

"Uncle Shi! It's not going to work, it's not going to work! I can't use it! You need to take one step at a time to go to the west, how can you steal and play tricks? Wukong shook his head.

Tang Seng said happily: "Apprentice, a boat is coming." Let him cross us. ”

The sand monk shouted loudly: "Boat man, come and ferry people!" Come and cross the people! The man on the boat said: "I am not a ferry, how can I ferry people?" ”

"Amitabha, the benefactor, the poor monk is a monk who came to the West Heaven from the Tang Dynasty in the East to learn scriptures, but now he is blocked by a big river, how can he turn around and return? I also bothered the donor to cross the poor monks! Tang Seng said.

When the man heard this, he brought the boat close to the shore, held the oars, and said, "Master, my boat is small, and there are many of you, how can you cross them all?" ”

"My apprentices have their own way of crossing the river, and the donor can just send the poor monk and my senior brother to the other side." Tang Seng said.

The man smiled and said, "Which one is your senior brother?" ”

"Amitabha! The poor monk is! Chen Fan looked at the man with a smile and said.

"This little master looks only in his early twenties, I didn't expect it to be your senior brother, I thought it was your apprentice, and the two masters are invited to get on the boat." The boatman said.

After Chen Fan and Tang Seng sat down, the corner of the boatman's mouth couldn't help but show a subtle smile, and he hurriedly shouted: "The two of you sit down tightly, start the boat~!" With that, the boat shot out like an arrow.

Just rowed to the middle of the river, only to hear the sound of "boom ......", set off a monstrous wave, after the water fell, slowly returned to calm, but there were still the shadows of Chen Fan and Tang Seng, "It's not good, it's a trick, that monster caught the master and the uncle, Bajie Sha Seng, my old grandson is not good at water, you two hurry down to rescue the master and uncle, if you can't beat it, attract him to come ashore." Goku said.

"I'm Brother Monkey! What are you worried about? There is a master and uncle, and it should be the monster who is crying. Bajie said, he didn't want to go down.

"You idiot! To go or not to go? Wukong's eyes widened, and Bajie immediately coaxed and said, "Go!" Why not? Brother Monkey, you wait, I'll go. ”

"You are that Chen Fan?" Xiao Long looked at Chen Fan and asked lightly.

"Oh? I can't imagine that you have heard the name of the poor monk, you have good talent, how can you be a monster, wouldn't you lose your father's face? Chen Fan said.

"Humph! It's my business to be ashamed or not, what's the matter with my father, I don't think your skills are as strong as mine, and I don't know how the third brother can worship you as a teacher? The little dragon said coldly.

"The poor monk can accept him as an apprentice, naturally he still has some ability, and the poor monk thinks that your talent is not bad, why don't you also worship the poor monk as a teacher, what do you think?" Chen Fan asked.

"Stay honest! I won't worship you as a teacher! Do you become a monk? Don't you know how my father died? Do you still want me to enter the Buddha Gate and kneel down and lick you? Do you think it's possible? I don't have anything else, but I still have a backbone. Yu Jie spat a mouthful of phlegm below, glanced at Chen Fan with disdain and slowly walked away.

"You're good! The poor monk wants to accept you as an apprentice more and more, you don't have to refuse, think about it first, as long as you worship the poor monk as a teacher, you still have the ability to teach you to cross the three worlds. Chen Fan said lightly.

After hearing this, the little dragon turned his head and said, "When have you crossed the Three Realms, come back to me." He left without looking back, which made Chen feel a sense of frustration for the first time, this little dragon didn't even catch a cold.

"Senior brother! Don't be sad, although your apprentice is not as good as Wukong Bajie and them, but his skills are still good, and he looks much more handsome than Wukong Bajie and them, although he is now a horse body, but he will recover after he arrives in the West Heaven. Tang Seng patted Chen Fan's shoulder and said.

After hearing this, Chen Fan suddenly scolded in his heart: "Grass! This Tang monk is poisonous! ”

After losing his father, he was fostered in Xihai, but he was also extremely filial, and after returning to the palace, he wrote a simple note: "Foolish nephew Jie Jie, bow your head for a hundred years, and enlighten the second uncle Ao Lao Da under the stage: Xiang Cheng Jiahui, feelings." Today, because of the acquisition of two things, it is a monk of the Eastern Tu, which is really a rare thing in the world. The nephew did not dare to use it for himself. Because of the memory of my uncle's Christmas, a special Filipino feast was held to wish a thousand years of life. Wanwang car is fast coming! After writing the invitation, the dragon monster carefully checked it, and then sent one of his men to the West Sea to deliver the invitation.
