Chapter Forty-Nine: One Thing Descends One Thing
Just as Zhu Bajie took advantage of the Yellow Eyebrow Monster being fixed and vented his anger at the torture of his Baiyi, Sun Wukong came back.
As expected, Maitreya Buddha also came.
When he saw Maitreya Buddha, although the yellow-eyed monster couldn't move, his expression was frightened, and his eyes kept rolling, as if begging for mercy.
As the saying goes, one thing descends one thing.
This guy dares to pretend to be like Rulai, but he doesn't dare to have a trace of disrespect for Maitreya Buddha.
Now that Maitreya Buddha is here, Gu Ming naturally quietly unlocked the ban on the yellow-eyed monster.
"Evil obstacles, don't kneel down yet!"
As soon as Maitreya Buddha arrived, he shouted angrily at the yellow-eyed monster.
"Plop!"
The yellow-eyed monster immediately knelt down and kowtowed to Maitreya Buddha again and again: "The Buddha spares his life, the disciple knows the mistake, the disciple knows the mistake!" ”
"You are so bold that you dare to pretend to be the Buddha, how can this seat spare you!"
Maitreya Buddha has always been happy, and the common people affectionately call him a laughing monk. But at this time, he couldn't laugh.
After all, this matter is quite a big one, and he actually pretends to be like Rulai, isn't this smearing the Western Heaven Buddha Realm?
"The Buddha spared his life......"
The yellow-eyed monster is still kowtowing and begging for mercy.
In front of Tang Seng and others, Maitreya Buddha naturally had to say something, and immediately raised his hand and flicked it, causing the yellow-eyed monster to scream in pain, fall to the ground and roll over and over.
As soon as I came, I was really angry in my heart.
Second, it is also for Tang monks and apprentices.
As expected, Tang Seng has always been soft-hearted, and when he saw the painful appearance of the yellow eyebrows, he hesitated for a while, and couldn't help but step forward and say: "Amitabha, Maitreya Buddha, since he has repented, it is better to give him a chance, my Buddha is merciful, Amitabha!" ”
As soon as Tang Seng said this, he also gave Maitreya Buddha a step down, so he smiled and withdrew his strength, and shouted at the yellow-eyed monster: "Evil obstacles, why don't you quickly thank Elder Tang?" If it weren't for Elder Tang's intercession for you, this seat would have abolished your cultivation. ”
"Thank you, Elder Tang, thank you......"
The yellow-eyed monster hurriedly kowtowed to Tang Seng to thank him.
Soon after, Maitreya Buddha took the yellow-eyed monster into the air.
As soon as Maitreya Buddha left, Zhu Bajie looked surprised, and subconsciously reached out and touched it...... The smile froze.
Why is the baby missing?
Gu Ming knows it? stepped forward and asked pretendly, "Eight precepts?" What's wrong? ”
"I didn't ...... Nothing ......."
Zhu Bajie squeaked and squeaked.
Actually, Gu Ming had a sense before? Maitreya Buddha has quietly withdrawn the magic weapon? It's just that Zhu Bajie doesn't know.
It's just that the one he put away himself? Because it is placed in a carry-on package, even Maitreya Buddha has no way to take it back? Because he couldn't sense the existence of the magic weapon at all.
Since you can't sense it? If you want to come to Maitreya Buddha, it is difficult to ask about the whereabouts of the magic weapon.
Besides, as Maitreya Buddha, he has magic weapons, and he doesn't care about losing one or two pieces.
Gu Ming has mastered such a mentality? This is the first time, but it will never be the last......
In short, if I have the opportunity in the future, I will have to get a few more.
Next, the group continued westward.
In the afternoon? Came to a wild village.
"Master, isn't it early? Shall we spend the night here? ”
Sun Wukong stepped forward and said.
"Hmm!"
Tang Seng looked at the mountain peaks not far away and responded.
If you want to continue your journey, you will enter the mountains, and most of you will not find a place to stay.
Thereupon? The group entered the village.
"Ah~"
"Youkai is coming......"
As soon as they entered the village, the looks of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie immediately frightened many villagers.
Want? Is this place too remote? These villagers had never heard of the legend of Tang monks and apprentices.
"Amitabha? Don't be afraid, the poor monks are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and these three are the disciples of the poor monks, although their appearance is ...... Different, but kind-hearted, able to fly to the sky, subduing demons and destroying demons......"
"Oh? Are you a monk from the Tang Dynasty? ”
Finally, there are still people who have a little insight and have heard of the prestige of the Tang Dynasty, so they can't help but ask curiously.
"Amitabha, monks don't speak."
"You look like a monk, but you three apprentices ......"
"呲~"
Sun Wukong snorted dissatisfiedly.
"Wukong, don't be rude......"
"Master, these villagers are too shallow, but my grandson has great powers, and it is not a problem to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, how can these foolish people be despised?"
Zhu Bajie was also a little unconvinced, and couldn't help but say: "Brother Monkey, show them a hand, so that they don't look down on people." ”
"Hmph, you all have a good look at my grandson!"
Sun Wukong shook his head, and a "toothpick" appeared in his hand.
"This ...... What do you do with an ear picker? ”
A villager asked stupidly.
Ear pluckers?
Sun Wukong almost vomited blood.
"Well, look at it, my grandson's is not called an ear picking stick, it is called Ru, Yi, Jin, hoop, and stick!"
After speaking, he raised his hand and threw it, and the golden hoop rod stood on the ground.
Then there are words: "Big, big, big, big, big......"
With Sun Wukong's shouting, the golden hoop stick slowly grew larger from an ear picking stick, to a stick, then to a pillar, and then into a huge Optimus Prime......
"Wow~"
A little daughter-in-law's eyes lit up with stars, and she looked up at the golden hoop stick that was barely visible and let out an exclamation.
"Awesome!"
"They're not bragging, they're really capable!"
"Offended, offended, elders, please ...... quickly"
A group of villagers witnessed the miracle with their own eyes, and their attitudes changed greatly, and they rushed to invite Tang monks and apprentices to their homes one by one.
Eventually, the group came to the village chief's house.
The village chief instructed his family to make a sumptuous meal and brought out home-brewed wine.
In this regard, Tang Seng did not refuse, anyway, he had already broken the drinking ring before, and it didn't hurt to drink a little occasionally.
During the banquet, I heard that Tang Seng and his apprentices were going to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, so I couldn't help frowning and said, "Elder Tang, I'm afraid this is a bit difficult." ”
"Oh? What's wrong? ”
"You don't know, the name of the mountain in front of you is Qijue Mountain, and I don't know what year it started, the mountain road is blocked by rotten persimmons all the year round, the smell is stinking, and people and horses are sad.
That's fine, the point is, there is another monster on this mountain, it is a huge red python, it is going to eat people......"
"Is there such a thing?"
Tang Seng couldn't help but glance at Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong was also responsible, and immediately said: "It's okay, the disciple will go to see the situation early tomorrow morning." ”
"It's good!"
This difficulty is not much different from the original work, and Gu Ming is lazy to intervene.
After all, the red python monster is not difficult to deal with, and there is no background or anything like that, Sun Wukong can easily solve it alone.
Early in the morning of the second day, Sun Wukong flew to the Seven Peerless Mountains in front of him.
Sure enough, as the villagers said, the mountains are full of wild persimmons, and these persimmons are also very strange, they are hanging fruit all year round, falling and growing.
So much so that layers of rotten persimmons were piled up on the mountain, so that the people on both sides of the mountain had no way to climb over.
When Sun Wukong came back to tell him about the situation, Gu Ming's heart moved......
Because this situation is a bit abnormal, it stands to reason that persimmons are still seasonal, so they grow so vigorously all year round, is it possible that there is something strange under the mountain?
So, he offered to investigate again.
After some careful investigation, the result was really surprising......
It turned out that these seven peerless mountains actually gave birth to a stone heart.
If left unchecked, sooner or later, these Seven Peerless Mountains will be like the Black Mountain of the Liaozhai World, and they will slowly cultivate into refinement.
And after it gave birth to the stone heart, the aura in the mountain became much thicker, which is also the reason why the persimmon grows wildly, and why the red python monster has to be in this mountain.
Therefore, Gu Ming decided to take away the stone core to restore the original appearance of the mountain, otherwise, once the mountain becomes a refinement, it will have a great impact on the surrounding people, and it may make the nearby hundreds of miles become full of corpses.
In addition, he was also going to test whether the red python monster was really as brutal as the people said, eating people for a living.
Just as Gu Ming dived into the depths of the mountain, about to take away the stone heart, a huge python appeared......
The whole body is red, the body length is nearly 100 meters, and with a mouth, you can see that it is full of fangs.
As soon as he saw this red python monster appear, Gu Ming decided to eliminate it.
Because, he could see at a glance that this giant python was not the same type as Bai Suzhen, Xiaoqing, and even Snake Ji.
Although Snake Ji has done a lot of bad things before, at least she has the wisdom to be able to ignite.
And this red python monster, Gu Ming can completely sense it, it retains a completely beastly nature, a kind of brutality, and a bloodthirsty aura.
Originally, he was going to leave this monster to Sun Wukong, but this guy also wanted to use Shixin to cultivate, and when he saw that Gu Ming was going to take Shixin, he immediately pounced viciously......
It's a pity, even if it has a thousand years of Taoism, what can it do?
Gu Ming didn't even bother to use his weapon, and beat the red python monster dizzy with just his fists.
Seeing that something was wrong, this guy turned around and fled.
How could Gu Ming allow it to escape? A sword shadow slashed out, directly cutting it into two pieces.
Then, he collected the stones and dragged them back to the top of the village......
"Knock~"
The huge python head fell to the ground, causing the villagers to scream in fright.
Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie hurriedly ran out to take a look, and immediately shouted: "Don't be afraid, everyone, the monster has been eliminated." ”
With such a roar, some bold villagers looked at it with courage and couldn't help cheering.
"Great, it's really the red python monster......"
"Thank you to the immortals for subduing the demon for us......"
The villagers not only thanked them, but also collected some silver and sent them over to show their gratitude.
After resigning from the trip, Gu Ming only symbolically accepted a little bit, and these villagers were not happy to accept anything.
However, the next thing to do is to solve the rotten persimmons on the mountain.
Gu Ming took the stone heart, although these persimmons will not grow like crazy, but they must be dealt with before rotting on the mountain, otherwise it will be difficult to move an inch.
In the end, this task fell to Zhu Bajie......
Who made him a pig......
Although Zhu Bajie was reluctant in every way, it was for the sake of silver...... Well, all the money given by the villagers before was given to this guy.
It's not much, but it's more or less a motivation.
As a result, Zhu Bajie turned into his true appearance, and he became a lot bigger, like an elephant, he began to rush on the mountain, rushing out of a road.
As for the rotten persimmons, the nearby villagers will slowly clean them up and use them as fertilizer.
However, even if a road is cleared, the mountain still stinks.
Gu Ming and the others are okay, they can hold their breath, but Tang Seng can't, he may also hold his breath, but he doesn't hold his breath for long, so he can only take a piece of cloth and soak it in water and cover his face.
The group walked quickly for a whole day, and finally walked out of the Seven Peerless Mountains.
After a few days, I saw a city.
Above the city gate, three big characters are written: Zhu Ziguo.
Compared with the small countries in Xiniu Hezhou, this Zhu Ziguo can be called relatively large, and the environment is also quite good.
Surrounded by green mountains and green waters, the products are relatively rich, there are many merchants who come and go, and the royal city can be described as a prosperous scene.
As soon as the Tang monk and apprentice arrived, they were welcomed by the people.
After all, Zhu Ziguo is a big country, and there have long been stories of Tang monks and apprentices learning scriptures from the west, and there are even portraits and masks of Tang monks and apprentices for sale.
Seeing that the people were so enthusiastic, Zhu Bajie's vanity was greatly satisfied, and he kept leaning towards the beauty with a pig's mouth......
If it weren't for Tang Seng scolding from time to time, I don't know what more excessive things this idiot would have done.
After walking a short distance, a man who looked like an official led a dozen guards to meet him.
As soon as they met, the official respectfully saluted Tang Seng: "Dare to ask the holy monk if he is the Great Master of Sanzang who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?" ”
Without waiting for Tang Seng to speak, Zhu Bajie immediately said: "That's right, it's my master." I am Zhu Bajie, this is my senior brother Monkey King, this is my senior brother Sha, this is the White Dragon Horse ......"
Speaking of this, he seemed to think of Gu Ming again, and hurriedly added: "By the way, there is also this immortal, named Gu Ming, who has great ability." ”
"Oh? It turned out to be a national teacher of the Tang Dynasty, disrespectful and disrespectful! ”
It seems that the other party has also heard of Gu Ming's name, so he hurriedly stepped forward and gave a salute.
"Adults don't have to be polite!"
Gu Ming smiled and raised his hand.
"By the way, the holy monk, His Majesty the King has an order, saying that after the holy monk and his party arrive in the royal city, we will welcome them to the palace as guests, and I hope that the holy monk will not refuse."
Of course, Tang Seng would not refuse, after all, he still had to go to the king to exchange Guan Wen.
So, the master and apprentice were led to the palace by the official.
The scale of Zhu Ziguo's palace is much larger, and it can almost catch up with the prince's mansion in the Tang Dynasty.
It's just that the layout inside looks magnificent, but it lacks a bit of charm. After all, it is still a little smaller, and the cultural heritage naturally cannot be compared with Datang.
After seeing the king, Tang Seng found that the king looked weak, so he couldn't help but ask.
The king sighed and asked rhetorically: "I heard that the Tang Dynasty is a big country in the Celestial Empire, is it possible that it is because the Tang Emperor is ill that he sent the holy monk to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures?" ”
"Amitabha, this is not true, the Tang Emperor is in good health and has no disease."
"However, this king has been sick for three years, and has sought countless famous doctors, but his illness has not recovered. Since the holy monk is a high-ranking monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, there must be a way to cure the king's illness......"
Upon hearing this, Tang Seng couldn't help but be stunned, and then hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk has always recited the Buddha and asked for scriptures, although the three disciples under the seat have some skills, but they only know some skills to subdue demons and eliminate demons, but they don't understand pharmacology......"
"Why should the holy monks be so humble? Beforehand, the king had ordered a proclamation to be posted to recruit wise men from all quarters, promising that as long as the king's illness could be cured, the king would divide the community equally......"
"Is that true?"
Zhu Bajie's eyes couldn't help but light up.
Although he can't cure diseases, Brother Monkey has great powers, and most of them have a way.
If the king's illness had been cured, wouldn't he have been able to divide half of the country? So what else do you take? Isn't it good to be half a king happily?
"This king's words are true, naturally."
"Great, Brother Monkey, you must have a way, right?"
Zhu Bajie glanced at the senior brother excitedly.
"Bajie, Hugh is talking nonsense."
Tang Seng couldn't help but sink his face and scolded.
If the king is not cured, will he not be offended?
At that time, how did you change Guan Wen?
