Chapter 200: The Old Turtle Who Will Take Revenge
Tang Seng knows the true face of this old turtle very well, because he has read the original work.
So when the old turtle immediately spoke, Tang Seng already knew what he was going to fart.
But at this time, Tang Seng still had to rely on the old turtle, so Tang Seng still looked like a holy monk, nodded and said with a smile.
"Poor monks and others came from the Tang Dynasty in the East Soil, to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, passing by the Tongtian River, fortunately there is an old turtle, you help us cross the river, thank you very much. ”
Hearing Tang Seng's thanks, the old turtle suddenly smiled, and the entire turtle body trembled twice.
Then the old turtle spoke: "Holy monk, holy monk, since you thank me so much, I have a request, I don't know whether to say it or not. ”
Tang Seng naturally understood what he was going to say, smiled and said: "Old turtle, you help me so much, if you have any requests, you can naturally say, the poor monk must do his best." ”
The old turtle heard Tang Seng's promise, and was even more happy, and after thinking about it, he said: "The holy monk really doesn't hide it, my old turtle has been living in the Tongtian River for tens of thousands of years, but it is too difficult for monsters like us turtles to transform into humans, and basically only one in ten thousand turtles can transform into humans." ”
"I don't have much left to live at this point. But I don't see the hope of being able to transform into a human and rank in the immortal class yet. In my life, I don't know if I can transform into a human being, rank first, and have this opportunity to live forever. ”
"Since the holy monk is going to the west to meet the Buddha, a person as powerful as the Buddha, he must know the end of the old turtle. Therefore, the old turtle wants to ask the holy monk to ask two words before the Buddha on the day he arrives in the West Heaven and when he meets the Buddha, to see if my old turtle has the immortal fate to be able to transform into a human and rank in the immortal class, and he has to think of immortality. ”
"Or, how many years do I have to live, the old turtle hopes that the holy monk can help the old turtle inquire. I don't know what the Holy Monk wants?"
When Tang Seng heard the words of the old turtle, he sneered in his heart and said secretly, sure enough.
But Tang Seng was very powerful at this time, so although he was disdainful in his heart, he still showed kindness on his face and said: "It's all about trivial things, don't worry, old turtle, when the poor monk arrives in the West Heaven and sees the Buddha, he will definitely help you ask, and I'll tell you how to come back when the time comes." ”
Hearing Tang Seng's promise, the old turtle was very happy, and even the speed of swimming with him was a little faster, and he said gratefully: "Then thank the holy monk for his generosity, the old turtle is waiting for the good news of the holy monk here." ”
Tang Seng nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will definitely help you with this matter." ”
When the old turtle heard this, he was even more pleased, and swam to the shore with his head bored.
After a while, the old turtle carried Tang Seng and several people to the other side of the Tongtian River.
"The holy monk has already arrived!" said the old turtle as he poked his head out and leaned his body against the shore.
Tang Seng nodded and said, "Then you will have to work!" After speaking, Tang Seng went straight down the old turtle's back.
Zhu Bajie behind him led the white dragon horse and walked down with a look of surprise.
According to Zhu Bajie's conjecture, this old turtle should have thrown them into the river when he got to the middle of the river, but this is obviously different from the script.
The old turtle actually carried them safely to the other side of the river, which was really beyond Zhu Bajie's expectations.
After Sha Seng got off the turtle's back, he walked over and patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder and said, "Second Senior Brother, don't be suspicious, just follow the master in the future, the master will always be right." ”
Tang Seng nodded with satisfaction when he heard this, glared at Zhu Bajie and said: "Look at how sensible Sha Wujing is, it's like you know how to find trouble for your teacher every day." ”
Zhu Bajie touched his nose with a somewhat disgraced face.
Before, he always wanted to shoot Tang Seng's fart, but he always slapped the horse's leg.
Unexpectedly, this seemingly silent sand monk could actually please Tang Seng as soon as he opened his mouth, which made Zhu Bajie feel very crisis.
After all, his specialty such as sycophants actually showed some signs of failure in front of Sha Wujing, so what else did he rely on to stop in the team of the Journey to the West?
Zhu Bajie's heart was secretly changing, and he wanted to play his role again, regain his strength, make a comeback, and pat Tang Seng's sycophants well.
"The holy monk wishes you a smooth journey and an early return from the Western Meridian. ”
Tang Seng nodded and said, "Thank you old turtle, you go back first." ”
"Okay, holy monk, then I'll go back first. ”
The old turtle spoke, turned his head and sank into the water.
At this time, Zhu Bajie came to Tang Seng and said: "Master, I really wronged him just now, this old turtle turned out to be a good person, or the master thought thoughtfully!"
Zhu Bajie felt that Tang Seng had just talked very happily with the old turtle, and thought that the old turtle had won Tang Seng's heart, so he thought about praising the old turtle in front of Tang Seng to gain Tang Seng's favor.
However, what Zhu Bajie didn't expect was that after Tang Seng heard this sentence, he slapped him on the head again and said: "Good guy, what a good guy, are you blind, you really have a pig brain, and you can't even tell the difference between a good guy and a bad guy." ”
Zhu Bajie was directly beaten and stunned, standing in place with a messy face.
He really couldn't figure out what the situation was, on the other side of the bank he said that the old turtle was not a good person, but he was beaten by Tang Seng, after crossing the river, he changed his words and said that the old turtle was a good person, and he was beaten by Tang Seng again.
Is there any reason for this? Why is he beaten whenever he speaks?
He felt that Tang Seng was targeting him, but he could only dare to be angry but not speak.
What Zhu Bajie didn't know was that Tang Seng just thought it was a snake with this old turtle, and wanted to cross the Tongtian River with the power of the old turtle.
Of course, Tang Seng is not the kind of person who is ruthless to the extreme, he is not purely using the old turtle.
It is clearly recorded in the original book that this old turtle is not a good person.
It seems that he used his kindness to carry Tang Seng and them across the river to hope that Tang Seng would help him inquire about this matter, but Tang Seng didn't ask, so he threw Tang Seng into the river, which seemed to make sense.
But in fact, it is very clear in the original book that after the inspiration king of Tongtianhe came to Tongtianhe, he immediately occupied the old turtle's cave mansion and built the mansion of the inspiration king in his cave.
And he could only immerse himself in the obscenity of the king of inspiration all day long, trembling, angry and unspeakable, and the pain of being bullied.
After Tang Seng and the others arrived at the Tongtian River, they directly eliminated the King of Inspiration, restored the original appearance of the Tongtian River, and also allowed the old turtle to find its original nest.
From this aspect, Tang Seng originally had great kindness to the old turtle.
But the old turtle not only didn't remember this kindness, but also sank Tang Seng into the water in a fit of anger because he forgot to ask for him.
This is exactly the typical type of revenge.
So this old turtle was not a good guy from beginning to end.
Tang Seng just pretended to promise him and borrowed his strength to cross the river, which was not too much of a use of him.
For people like the old turtle, who only remember his kindness to others, and don't remember the kindness of others to him, he should be taught a hard lesson, and Tang Seng just deceived him just now It was just a small punishment and a big commandment.
And the most important thing is that this old turtle's cultivation is very low, otherwise he wouldn't even be able to defeat the King of Inspiration.
His cultivation was so low that Tang Seng couldn't raise his interest in beating him at all, and even if he did, he wouldn't get much merit points.
Looking at Zhu Bajie who was stunned in place, Tang Seng raised his foot and kicked on someone's buttocks, and scolded: "What are you doing here? ”
