Chapter 20 Only You Are Allowed to Set Fires, Not My Grandson to Light the Lamps?
A few days later, Tang Seng and his entourage arrived at Baihuling.
"The king, the king, Tang Seng has arrived at the foot of the mountain......"
A little demon rushed into the cave like a whirlwind and reported to the tiger demon.
"Hahaha, great, children, all get ready to prepare, when we catch Tang Seng, let's hold a grand Tang Seng banquet, everyone has a share!"
"Thank you, King!"
"After eating Tang monk meat, we can also live forever."
The little demons were extremely excited, and their eyes lit up.
"Quick, go and inform Lady Bones......"
"Report!"
"The king, the White Bone Lady sent someone to report, saying that Tang Seng had arrived, and asked the king to lead people to the predetermined place to meet."
The tiger demon was happy: "Hahaha, what a caring beauty." Let's go, kids! ”
This time, in order to be able to catch Tang Seng smoothly, the tiger demon and the white bone spirit discussed a strategy, that is, to act separately, and the tiger demon came forward to call the battle to lure Sun Wukong away.
Then a group of little demons pestered Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, and the white bone spirit took advantage of the chaos to capture Tang Seng.
Next.
Tang monks and apprentices entered the mountain.
The white dragon horse carried the luggage and walked around.
Sha Seng finally didn't have to bear the pick, carrying a weapon, talking and laughing with Zhu Bajie.
Sun Wukong jumped up, from time to time with his hands on the pergola to observe the surroundings.
Tang Seng strode forward and roared from time to time: "Cheer up, don't grind." ”
In the afternoon, the group came to a deserted valley.
"Wait!" Sun Wukong, who was walking in front, suddenly raised his hand, glanced around alertly and said, "There is a demonic spirit!" ”
"Senior Brother Sha, protect Master!"
"Second Senior Brother, protect Master!"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng shouted together.
Tang Seng glanced at the two apprentices speechlessly......
"Hahaha, what a Tang monk, sure enough, he has red lips and white teeth, fine skin and tender meat, and looks delicious."
There was a burst of laughter in midair.
Then I saw a goblin with a tiger head and a human body appear on the spot.
In the past, Tang Seng had already been frightened. But now that he has some strength, he has become much bolder, and he actually shouted and scolded: "Monster, I advise you to turn back quickly, otherwise...... The three apprentices of the poor monk will not spare you! ”
"Yes, get out of here!"
Zhu Bajie has always been reluctant to do a lot of things, if he can not fight, he will not fight, big things will be small, small things will be turned into small things, wouldn't it be good if everyone is happy?
Sha Seng was a little better, shook the crescent shovel and shouted, "You dare to move my master to try." ”
The tiger demon sneered disdainfully: "You two are not the opponents of this king, but this monkey ......"
The tiger demon raised his hand and pointed: "I heard that you were known as the Monkey King back then, and this king thought it was a three-headed man, but I didn't expect it to be a little monkey head, no wonder I was only named Bi Ma Wen back then, hahaha......"
Everyone has a scale.
Bi Ma Wen is the reverse scale of Sun Wukong.
Back then, Tai Bai Xing coaxed him to heaven, saying that Bi Ma Wen was a big official, but later I learned that he was just an official who raised horses, and he was not even qualified to participate in the Pan Tao Club.
Therefore, in a fit of anger, he turned against heaven and proclaimed himself a Monkey King.
Now that the scars are uncovered by this tiger demon, how can you not be angry?
At that moment, he scolded angrily, brandished the golden hoop stick and rushed forward: "Oh, dare to humiliate your grandfather, eat my grandson!" ”
I didn't know that I had fallen into the tiger demon's plan.
This tiger demon deliberately provoked Sun Wukong, just to lure him away. After all, Sun Wukong is the strongest, if he is not lured away, it will not be so easy to catch Tang Seng.
So, he fought and retreated, flying farther and farther.
Tang Seng was a little worried: "Bajie, why don't you help Wukong." ”
Zhu Bajie moved lazily and replied: "If the old pig leaves, what if the monster comes back?" It's better to stay here and protect Master. ”
Sha Seng also said: "Yes, yes, Master, Senior Brother is very strong, he will definitely be able to defeat that Tiger Demon, it is better for me and Second Senior Brother to stay here to protect Master." ”
"Okay."
Since he said so, Tang Seng no longer insisted.
It didn't take long for another group of demons to appear.
"Catch Tang Seng, the king will be rewarded!"
With a loud shout, the little demons poured down like a tide......
"Second Senior Brother, protect Master!"
The sand monk shouted loudly and rushed forward with a crescent shovel.
Zhu Bajie also picked up the nine-toothed nail palladium to defend against the little demon who rushed forward.
Unexpectedly, these little demons seem to know Zhu Bajie quite well, and several of them turned into beautiful women and kept hooking their fingers at Zhu Bajie......
At this moment, Zhu Bajie's old problem was committed again, and he pounced on it with saliva......
Although Tang Seng has cultivated the Sutra of Sitting and Forgetting the Sutra, he can be regarded as having some strength, but after all, the cultivation time is still short, and it is okay to deal with one or two little demons, but there are too many little demons coming in, and it is difficult for him to deal with it at all.
After holding on for a while, suddenly, a woman appeared out of thin air, grabbed Tang Seng and flew away.
"Great, Lady White Bone has caught Tang Seng."
"Let's go, don't fight......"
The purpose of these little demons is to entangle Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, now that Tang Seng has been caught, what else is there to fight?
"Oh no, second senior brother, the master was captured by a monster."
With a loud shout, Zhu Bajie finally came back to his senses.
Seeing that the master was really arrested, he quickly wiped his saliva and said, "What are you still doing in a daze?" Pursue! ”
"Oh~"
"You're going to chase it, the old pig has to look at the white dragon horse."
Sha Seng is helpless, who made him the third junior brother? I had to chase after him.
"Female benefactor, if you have something to say, you quickly let go of the poor monk, it's too late to turn back now......"
In the sky, Tang Seng finally panicked and persuaded the white bone spirit.
Not to mention, as soon as he opened his mouth like this, the white bone spirit really fell to the ground.
"Elder Tang, don't blame, Mrs. Ben didn't really arrest you, she just took you out of danger, and when your three apprentices destroyed the tiger demon, you will be safe."
"Hehehe, what a white bone spirit, fortunately, this king has one more heart, otherwise he will be deceived by you."
Upon hearing this, the white bone spirit couldn't help but be shocked and turned around sharply.
Behind him, who is not the tiger demon?
"You...... You're not ......."
"What? Do you think this king is fighting with that monkey and can't be separated? This king just used a doppelganger to entangle the monkey, but secretly monitored whether you are really loyal to this king.
Outcome...... What a disappointment for this king. ”
At this point, the white bone spirit was too lazy to talk nonsense, and with a move of his mind, he took out his twin swords and shouted at Tang Seng: "Elder Tang, go away, I'm pestering this guy." ”
"Hahaha, don't even think about leaving."
With a wild laugh, one of the Tiger Demon's subordinates suddenly appeared, knocking Tang Seng unconscious and flying into the air with a single punch.
"Let go of Elder Tang."
The white bone spirit also rose into the air, wanting to snatch Tang Seng.
However, the tiger demon also intervened at the same time to stop it......
"Xiong Da, you first take Tang Seng back to the cave to guard it, and then bring it back to the cave together after the king has packed up the white bone essence."
"Yes, King!"
Xiong Da responded, and flew to the direction of the cave with the unconscious Tang Seng.
Unexpectedly, he was stopped halfway by someone just halfway through.
The person who came was Gu Ming.
Originally, he had already discussed with Bai Gujing before, cooperated with a scene, pretended to kidnap Tang Seng, and let Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and the Tiger Demon and his subordinates fight.
In this way, this catastrophe of Baihuling can be regarded as a fulfillment, but the process is different.
But I didn't expect that this tiger demon was so cunning that he didn't fully believe in the white bone spirit, so he secretly left a hand and used a clone to lure Sun Wukong away, but the body was secretly monitoring the white bone spirit.
Gu Ming didn't calculate this.
Fortunately, the praying mantis catches the cicada, and the yellow finch follows.
Although he didn't expect the tiger demon's hand, he has been hiding in the dark and not making a move, just to prevent accidents and make up for the leaks in time.
"Put down Tang Seng and spare you from death!"
Gu Ming shouted at Xiong.
When the meat in hand, how could Xiong Da say that he would put it away? At that moment, he shouted angrily, and turned into a huge bear paw and slapped it at Gu Ming.
At the same time, he quickly changed directions and continued to fly towards the cave.
As a result, he underestimated Gu Ming's strength too much.
As soon as his body moved, a voice sounded in his ears: "Fixed!" ”
Suddenly, I couldn't help but stop.
Then a palm shadow was slapped......
The sad Xiong Da can only go to the underworld to report.
"Thank you!"
Tang Seng was out of danger and gave Gu Ming a heartfelt salute.
"It's okay, the main thing is that this tiger demon is too cunning, this demon must get rid of ......"
On the other side, the tiger demon was fighting fiercely with the white bone spirit.
Although the White Bone Spirit is not an opponent, under the full counterattack, the Tiger Demon will be unable to help her for a while.
"King, King, it's not good......"
Suddenly, "Xiong Da" ran back with Tang Seng on his shoulder.
"Huh? What's going on? ”
The tiger demon was taken aback and hurriedly flew down.
"The king, I don't know where another immortal came out, and the small one couldn't beat it, so he could only escape back."
"Waste, hand over Tang Seng to this king and take it back."
Tang Seng is still important, so the tiger demon decided to let go of the white bone spirit for the time being, and took Tang Seng back to the cave to eat first.
"Yes, King!"
Xiong handed over Tang Seng......
Just as the tiger demon stretched out his hand, Xiong Da suddenly let go, and then a sword shadow swept by, and he actually cut off the tiger demon's arms together.
Tang Seng fell to the ground, but turned into a branch.
Now, the tiger demon knows that he has been fooled.
Of course, this is also Gu Ming's ...... If you are tricked by the tiger demon once, then you will play it again, and you will play it even harder.
Xiong Da has been killed by him, and now this bear is naturally changed by Gu Ming.
Including Tang Seng, he also used the pen of God to change.
"Ah~"
Both arms were cut off, and the tiger demon let out an earth-shattering howl of pain.
Then he endured the pain and wanted to escape.
"Where to run!"
The white bone spirit is fed up with this guy's anger, how can he allow the tiger demon to escape? Immediately brandished his twin swords and rushed forward.
How could a tiger demon without her hands be her opponent? In a few strokes, he was beheaded off the tiger......
As soon as the tiger demon died, his men became a rabble.
Under the encirclement and suppression of Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng, and Bai Gujing, those who died died and those who fled.
After that, Tang Seng spoke and stayed in the White Bone Cave for a few days, reciting scriptures every day to resolve the remaining grievances of the year for the White Bone Essence.
When the resentment finally dissolved, the white bone spirit felt more relaxed than ever, and his mood was greatly improved.
This will be of great benefit to her future cultivation.
Therefore, it is natural to be grateful and thank you again and again.
……
Heavenly.
A place shrouded in mist.
A few bigwigs are discussing important matters.
"Buddha, I'm afraid that there are variables in this matter of learning scriptures, Tang Sanzang...... It seems that the change is not small. ”
Rulai frowned slightly, pinched his fingers and counted for a while, and couldn't help but glance at Guanyin and asked, "Venerable Guanyin, what do you think?" ”
In terms of status, prestige, and strength, Guanyin is not under Rulai, so even if Rulai is the leader of the Western Heavenly Buddha Realm, he has to be honored as the Venerable Guanyin.
Sun Wukong is so stubborn, he often calls him an old man, but he is still a regular in front of Guanyin, and he has always been called a Bodhisattva.
"This ......"
Guanyin also frowned.
Then he shook his head with a wry smile: "All this is because of a person who calls himself Gu Ming." In fact, this seat has noticed him a long time ago, and before Tang Sanzang set off to learn the scriptures, he had contact with Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie.
It's just strange that this seat can't deduce his origin......
Counting all the hidden powers, there don't seem to be such disciples under their seats.
Therefore, this seat speculates that the greatest possibility is that this person did not belong to this world in the first place, so it is difficult to deduce his destiny. ”
"Not part of our world? So what the hell...... Where is it sacred? It feels like this kid is ...... It seems to be against us, and it seems to be helping us, in the end...... What is his purpose? ”
At this time, Guanyin said: "Actually, there is another person, a woman......"
"Women?"
"Yes, but she mysteriously disappeared. If this guess is correct, she should be the personal disciple of Li Shan's mother.
But the strange thing is that we don't know this disciple...... And it doesn't seem to belong to this world......"
"So to put it that way...... No, it's impossible for the old mother to disturb the matter of learning the scriptures, it seems that I have to go to the old mother to solve the doubts......"
Speaking of this, Rulai couldn't help but glance at Guanyin and smiled: "I'm afraid I'll have to trouble Venerable Guanyin again." Perhaps, the person named Gu Ming also has something to do with his mother. ”
Guanyin sighed: "That's all it can be...... Fortunately, so far, the plan to learn from the experience is going well.
The monkey head has always been unruly, but he didn't expect that this time it was quite a rule, and he didn't have much conflict with Tang Sanzang. ”
"May it all go well......"
Several bigwigs have always been confident and have calculated everything, but at this moment, they can't help but feel at a loss.
In the world, there are still things they can't calculate......
……
Unconsciously, Tang Seng and his entourage came to the country of Baoxiang.
It is said that it is a country, but in fact, it is only a city, with a population of about 10,000 people, plus those scattered outside the city, and the entire Baoxiang country does not exceed 20,000 people.
However, although the city is not large, it is very lively, and merchants come and go to the city to rest, or buy and sell some goods.
After entering the city, Tang Seng and his entourage suddenly became the focus of attention.
Sha Seng is okay, Sun Wukong is also a little better, the key Zhu Bajie is too prominent, and the whole is a pig's head.
"Demon ...... Yokai ......"
Someone exclaimed in fright.
"You're a monster, and your whole family is a monster!"
Despite often encountering such things, Zhu Bajie is still indignant.
"Yokai ......"
Not far away, someone exclaimed again.
This time, Zhu Bajie was not angry, but walked forward with a gentle face: "Sister, don't be afraid, the old pig is not a monster, this is just a face, I don't believe you look ......at it."
Zhu Bajie shook his head, and sure enough, he changed into a person.
"Bajie!"
Tang Seng was so angry that he shouted angrily.
"Ahem, that's my master, my sister now believes that I'm not a monster, right?"
The woman nodded with a pale face.
Gu Ming couldn't help but shake his head, and subconsciously looked at both sides of the street.
There are many stalls on both sides, and there are a variety of goods on the stalls.
After walking a short distance, Gu Ming suddenly found a bookshelf, and he also found that the books on the bookstall were very familiar......
So, he hurried forward.
At first glance, it turned out to be a copy of "One Thousand and One Nights".
This was the last time he brought it to the Journey to the West World and handed it over to his disciples, but he didn't expect it to have spread to the Treasure Elephant Kingdom.
In addition to this one, there is also a book of his poems that he sold in this world.
In this way, Gu Ming had an extra motivation and decided to sell a few more copies, such as writing some travelogues and legends about the Tang Dynasty, which must be more popular in Xiniu Hezhou.
After all, the Eastern Tang Dynasty is full of all kinds of magical legends for the people of Xiniuhezhou.
Of course, the same is true for the people of the Tang Dynasty, and Xiniu Hezhou is also full of all kinds of legends.
It is entirely possible to take advantage of this to allow the two cultures to exchange, and to spread the Confucian concept to Xiniuhezhou.
After a night's rest, on the second day, Tang Seng and his entourage came to the palace to prepare to change the customs disc.
The king had already received the news and personally greeted Tang Seng and his party in the palace.
Now, Zhu Bajie is feasting on it.
Although the king did not prepare meat dishes, he did prepare a lot of exquisite pastries, melons and fruits, and wine......
There are also beauties dancing, and Zhu Bajie's saliva is long when he watches.
During this period, the king asked Tang Seng some questions related to Buddhism, and then chatted with Gu Ming for a while, and learned that Gu Ming was the author of One Thousand and One Nights and a collection of poems, and was surprised and delighted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Ming naturally had a long talk, which also involved some governing concepts, so that the king had to hire Gu Ming as a national teacher if he had obtained a treasure.
Gu Ming pushed back, but in the end, he couldn't stand the king's bitter pleading, so he agreed.
Anyway, it's just a name, and you don't have to stay in the Treasure Elephant Country or anything.
Moreover, it is also beneficial to be named a national teacher, so as to facilitate the promotion of Confucianism in the country of Baoxiang.
So, Gu Ming took out some of his works and some Confucian classic books and gave them to the king.
The king also gave back a lot of gold, silver and jewelry......
After that, the king drank a little too much, and seemed to remember the sad things, and could not help but cry.
Tang Seng subconsciously asked the reason, and the king said that he had a favorite daughter, Princess Baihua, who was suddenly blown away by a strange wind many years ago, and his whereabouts are still unknown......
Zhu Bajie immediately shouted: "Maybe he was captured by a monster." ”
Although many years have passed, the king still has a glimmer of hope and begged: "You are all high-ranking people, if it is convenient, I wonder if you can help inquire about the whereabouts of the little girl?" ”
"This ......" Tang Seng looked embarrassed: "Since it has been going on for many years, I'm afraid it's ......"
He couldn't say what was going on.
"I'm afraid I was eaten by a monster a long time ago." Zhu Bajie replied without concealment.
"My poor daughter ......," the king wept bitterly.
Seeing this, Gu Ming couldn't help but sigh secretly, pretended to pinch his fingers and calculated, and then persuaded: "The king doesn't have to be sad, I just calculated, your father and daughter still have a time to meet." ”
"Really?"
The king was in good spirits.
Gu Ming smiled and nodded.
"Thank you to the national teacher, thank you to the national teacher!"
In fact, Gu Ming didn't want to care about this matter at first.
It's just that this king is still in love, and he hired him as a national teacher, so he still repays it somewhat.
Besides, this trip to the Treasure Elephant Country was originally set to learn from the experience, so if you leave like this, wouldn't it be a lot of difficulties?
If you can't learn the scriptures from the eighty-one difficulties, then there will inevitably be new problems at that time, so it is better to make up this difficulty, and there is no danger anyway.
"Shangxian, do you know the whereabouts of the princess?"
Tang Seng couldn't help but ask curiously.
"This, you may have to calculate more, and you have to go to the field to find out."
Gu Ming didn't say anything to death, after all, it seems that the plot has undergone a subtle change at present, so it's better to keep some.
After that, Gu Ming inquired and learned the location of Wanzi Mountain.
If there is no change in the plot here, then Princess Baihua should be in the Boyue Cave of Wanzi Mountain at present.
The one who captured her was a monster, named the Yellow Robe Monster.
However, this guy has some origins, originally one of the twenty-eight star monarchs in the heavenly realm, Kui Wood Wolf.
Because he fell in love with the jade girl who served incense in the Phi Xiang Palace, but he couldn't be together due to the rules of the heavenly court.
Later, the Jade Maiden ferry returned to earth.
Kui Wood Wolf did everything possible to find out the whereabouts of the Jade Maiden, reincarnated in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, and became the princess of Baihua.
So he secretly went down to occupy the mountain as the king, and kidnapped Princess Baihua to marry him.
In general, although the princess of Baihua was kidnapped, because of the fate in the previous life, the husband and wife are still in love.
Subsequently, Gu Ming found Sun Wukong, briefly explained the reason with him, and asked him to go to Boyue Cave to find the yellow-robed monster together.
After coming to the Boyue Cave, Sun Wukong called for the battle as planned and led away the yellow-robed monster.
Gu Ming entered the cave, fixed the little demon guarding the cave, and found Princess Baihua.
"You...... Who are you? ”
Princess Baihua couldn't help but look surprised when she saw someone enter the cave.
"You're the princess of the Hundred Flowers of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, right?"
Princess Baihua was taken aback: "How do you know?" ”
After all, she has been here for more than ten years, and I didn't expect anyone to recognize her.
"Do you know that your father has not forgotten you for more than ten years, and he is sad when he mentions you......"
"Father's ......"
Princess Baihua couldn't help but hide her face and cry bitterly.
Actually, why didn't she want to go back? It's just that the yellow-robed monster said that if she went back, what would people think when they learned that she was married to a monster?
Otherwise, she will be burned alive.
Princess Baihua thought about it, it was indeed the same reason, and she could only accept her fate.
"Now, your father has asked us to find your whereabouts, would you like to return to the palace?"
"But...... Husband, he ......"
Princess Hundred Flowers was in a dilemma for a while.
After more than ten years of husband and wife, she was naturally reluctant to leave.
But I miss my father, and I can't leave for a while, and I can't stay.
"Actually, your husband is not a monster......
"Huh? Not a youkai? ”
"There are some heavenly opportunities involved in this, so it's inconvenient to tell you. However, one thing I can tell you is that even if you return to the palace now, you will still see each other in the future. ”
"This ......"
Princess Baihua pondered for a while, and finally decided to go back to the palace first.
Not long after she left, the yellow-robed monster returned to the cave.
When he learned that his wife had returned to the palace, he couldn't help but be furious and immediately flew in the direction of the palace.
At this time, Gu Ming had already ordered Sun Wukong to hide first and not to meddle in this matter for the time being......
As expected, after the yellow-robed monster arrived at the palace, he began to make a fuss, saying that Tang Seng and others were monsters.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were naturally unconvinced, and both rushed forward.
As a result, he was knocked to the ground by the yellow-robed monster with three punches and two kicks...... Of course, their brothers and sisters are not so weak, the main reason is the psychology of cooperating.
Anyway, when the sky falls, there is a senior brother on top.
Why would they be so desperate?
Subsequently, the yellow-robed monster used spells to turn Tang Seng into a tiger.
"You can see with your own eyes, they are the monsters......"
After the yellow-robed monster stirred it up like this, many people in the palace really believed it.
After all, Zhu Bajie looks like that...... You don't even need makeup to say that youkai are monsters.
"Okay, Great Sage, I'm watching here, you can go up to heaven to sue."
Gu Ming pointed to the sky at Sun Wukong.
"Okay, then my master will ask you to help take care of it, and my grandson will go!"
Sun Wukong flew to the heavenly palace with a somersault......
This time, he didn't just go to complain, but was bold and sneaked to Tushi Palace...... That is, Taishang Laojun's residence, and sneaked into the Danfang to steal some elixir......
This is something he promised Gu Ming before, and he has not forgotten it so far.
This time, even if he is caught, there is a reason, who let your heavenly immortals embarrass my grandson's master all day long?
Only allow your gods to set fires, and don't allow my grandson to light the lamp?
