Chapter 91: Journey to the West (54)
Sha Seng said angrily: Second senior brother, why are you making fun of me!
Zhu Bajie said: Senior Brother Sha, if you don't believe it, compare it carefully.
After hearing this, Sha Seng also compared his appearance with the person here. The result is that it really looks similar, and the sand monk is a little difficult to understand.
Tang Xuanzang said: Wujing, Hugh wants to listen to that idiot's nonsense. Where you are, you are one of us.
Sha Seng said: Master, I feel really good with everyone.
Tang Xuanzang said: Everyone, pay attention, let's rest here tonight.
We're all set up camp here, and we're all busy. Tang Xuanzang talked to the elders here.
Tang Xuanzang said: Hello old man!
The old man said, "Good! Block Elder Quick Seat.
Tang Xuanzang sat there and said: The old man is old this year?
The old man said, "I am thirty out of sixty this year."
Tang Xuanzang said: The old man is really long-lived! (During the Tang Dynasty, the average life expectancy of the people was really not high.) Who's in the house?
The old man said, "My son, I took my daughter-in-law to beg for a living elsewhere." Leave the child to me and be my companion. My mother-in-law is long gone!
Tang Xuanzang said: Hey! This place is so hot, it's really hard for you and your children.
The old man said: What is bitter, my mission is to bring up the child, as long as I don't drag the child down.
Tang Xuanzang said: Then don't your children take the initiative to come back?
The old man said, "Son, my daughter-in-law comes back once a year to come and see me." When I pull my grandson to adulthood, I tell him to leave here and go outside to earn a living. Staying here is a death, and if Princess Iron Fan gets angry one day, we'll all be gone. Isn't it also to stay alive when you leave here!
Tang Xuanzang said: Old man, you have contributed to the family in this life. You don't think about yourself, you are such a great father. By the way, what the hell is that Iron Fan Princess, can you tell me about it?
The old man said: People live a lifetime, and they must always have some goals! My goal is to make my children well, and that's the only thing I can do right now. Princess Iron Fan is the king of this neighborhood, and this eight-hundred-mile flame mountain can be extinguished with her fan. Every year, the princess of the iron fan has to fan it several times, and each fan will bring us plenty of drinking water. But not long after the fan, the mountain of flames burned again.
Tang Xuanzang said: That princess of the iron fan, didn't she think about extinguishing the Flame Mountain forever?
The old man said: I think it is impossible to extinguish the Flame Mountain permanently, but it can be suppressed in a short time.
At this time, I served the boiled porridge to Tang Xuanzang in a bowl. Then I said, "Old man, you and your grandson can eat here with us." It's late, and you won't be able to fire yourself.
The old man looked at his grandson kindly, that longing expression. Then he said: Then our two fathers will disturb Elder Tang. Ali went to get our dishes and chopsticks.
The child ran home and brought two bowls and chopsticks. ran to the cauldron, served porridge to the old man.
When the old man saw the naan and said: I didn't expect that Elder Tang would also make it, our naan!
Tang Xuanzang said: Hehe! It's all done by my guards. Just because it is easy to save and does not love bad, I have done a lot.
The old man said: I didn't expect Datang's guards to make so much delicious food.
I said: The old man has won the award, I have been fighting with the army for many years, and I have to learn to cook with others everywhere I go. This is also for the sake of being able to live better.
The old man took a bite of naan and said, "Yes! The taste is really authentic! By the way, what is this red square?
I said, "Old man, you can eat it with confidence, this is made of tofu."
The old man took a little bit of chopsticks, tasted it and said: Hmm! This tastes so good, can you teach me how to do it?
I said, "No problem, I'll teach you tomorrow." It's best to let your little grandson learn too, we Han people have a saying, "Art is not pressing!" ”
The old man said, "Can I teach my son?"
I said, "No problem, as long as he is willing to learn, teach him."
After eating, the old man took his grandson and went back to his house to rest.
Tang Xuanzang said to Wukong: Wukong, go to Basho Cave to investigate!
Wukong said: Master, there is no need to investigate. This iron fan princess is the mother of the red child.
Tang Xuanzang said: What should I do!
Wukong said: Master, you should wait here. I'll go find Princess Iron Fan and see if I can let us cross the Flaming Mountain first.
Tang Xuanzang said: Wukong, bear with some! No, think of another way!
Wukong said: Master, don't worry, this matter is no problem.
Wukong drove the clouds and came to the Basho Cave of the Iron Fan Princess!
Wukong stood at the door of Basho Cave and shouted: Princess Iron Fan, I Wukong is looking for you on behalf of Tang Xuanzang.
After a while, an exotic woman appeared outside Basho Cave.
Princess Iron Fan said: General Wu, I know your identity, and our old cow can't beat you. I know you can't get past the Flaming Mountain, so you came to me to borrow a banana fan. I just have a request, I want to see how my red boy is doing. As long as I can see my child, I'll help you cross the Flaming Mountain myself.
Wu Kong said: Princess Iron Fan, is this too delayed? It's going back and forth, and it's going to take a lot of time.
Princess Iron Fan said: General Wu, I don't care about anything else. As long as you let me see the child, you can cross the Flaming Mountain.
Wukong said: That's good! Iron Fan Princess, then let's decide!
Wu Kong set up the clouds and went directly to the Dragon God Immortal Sect.
When he arrived at the Dragon God Immortal Sect, Wukong went directly to the main hall. Then he shouted at the top of his voice: Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law! Sister-in-law!
Feng Yu'er came to the main hall, looked at Wukong and said, "You monkey, what are you yelling for!"
Wukong said: Sister-in-law! Tang Xuanzang ......!
Feng Yu'er said: Isn't it, Tang Xuanzang has arrived at the Flame Mountain?
Wukong said: Exactly! Princess Iron Fan, I had to meet the red boy to ask us to cross the Flaming Mountain.
Feng Yu'er said: Red Boy has just broken through the Great Luo Golden Immortal, and now he is steadily cultivating. You need to wait a few more days, if you monkey are in a hurry, go back to protect Tang Xuanzang first.
Wukong said: Tang Xuanzang has my brother, and nothing will happen. Sister-in-law, can you bring me some wine, I haven't drunk in a long time.
Feng Yu'er said: You monkey, you have become a monk, why do you still drink.
Wukong said: Sister-in-law! I'm making it temporary, and I can't turn it around.
Feng Yuer said: Tsing Yi! Bring wine to the monkey and arrange a room for him by the way.
Tsing Yi said: Yes! Suzerain!
Wukong said: Tsing Yi! You're a nine-tailed fox! And it's also a nine-tailed white fox! Is Qingqiu okay now?
Tsing Yi said: General Wu, Qingqiu is now in an eventful season, which is very bad.
Wu Kong said: Hey! I don't know, what happened to the white fox in Huaguo Mountain! I really miss her!
