The one hundred and thirty-fifth round: Long Tao
said that after receiving continuous impacts, Wukong was dizzy and sore, and it took a long time to recover. Xuanzang, Hanging Gall and Little Mute all breathed a sigh of relief when they saw that Wukong was fine......
At this time, there was a sudden noisy sound ......of horses neighing outside the temple gate.
"Damn, what are you calling blindly, I don't believe that I can't take away your brute......" Immediately after, the purple-faced man's angry roar and whipping also came.
"Oh no! this damned scoundrel is stealing our horses again...... and the crowd hurried outside the temple.
When he looked up, he saw that the frightened white horse had broken free from the reins and galloped all the way eastward, crossed the river, jumped over the sand dunes, and disappeared in a blink of an eye, while the purple-faced man who had not been able to steal the horse took the stolen package and jumped into a dense forest three arrows away from the small temple......
"Division...... Father, this pack...... Wrapped, white ...... The horse has also run away, let's ...... Let's divide ...... Head to chase it?!" Seeing this, the little mute was so anxious that he stomped his feet.
"Let it go, it's important to recover the package first!" Xuanzang struggled to settle down, and then beckoned Wukong, Hanging Courage and Little Mute, and everyone ran towards the dense forest together. At the same time, the bereaved little dog that everyone had just rescued also barked out of the small temple and followed ...... him......
After entering the dense forest, the master and apprentice searched for a long time, but they did not find any trace of the purple-faced man.
"Amitabha, this is terrible! The package contains both the brocade robe and the nine-ring tin staff given by the Bodhisattva, as well as the customs clearance documents and purple gold bowls given by the Holy Lord.
"Master, don't worry, just now in the Erlang Temple, the disciple listens to the words of the ploppy, like the Orion villagers here. Let's be patient, look for it in the depths of the forest, or find someone's home, and after inquiring about the origin and address of the splashy skin, it's not too late to ask him for the package!" Seeing Xuanzang's anxious appearance, Wukong hurriedly persuaded on the side.
"Alas, what Jin Zi said makes sense, it's for the sake of the teacher to get confused, it's too anxious......" The words were happy, and when he heard Wukong say this, Xuanzang suddenly calmed down.
After a short respite, everyone searched carefully for half an hour, and saw that the surrounding trees were gradually becoming thinner.
"The robbers have killed someone, help......" Suddenly, a heart-rending cry for help came from Lin Yue, which startled more than a dozen faint crows in the surrounding trees to fly up and scatter.
"Strongman...... Dignitary...... Save me......" When Wukong and the others were stunned, a fat Taoist with an earthy face ran towards him, as if he had seen a savior, and fell at Xuanzang's feet with a "whew" and hugged his legs tightly.
"Immortal Chief...... Immortal Chang hurry up, if you have anything to say, stand up and say ......" Or because of the old way of obesity, Xuanzang frowned, and it took a lot of effort to help him up with the help of Wukong.
I don't know if it's because of the continuous fright, in the process of supporting the old way, Xuanzang suddenly had a creepy and out-of-body feeling.
"Master Dao, were you shouting 'robber killing' just now? What does the robber look like? Is he a fierce man with a cloak?" Looking at the tall and burly fat old man in front of him, who looked cowardly and seemed to be a little familiar, Wukong asked impatiently.
"Yes...... Yes, strong man, how do you know......" When the fat Taoist heard this, he couldn't help but be shocked, "That robber distributed a shawl, with fierce eyebrows and evil eyes, and held a ghost-headed knife, just now cut off my dust, snatched my package, and chased after me relentlessly, wanting to pick up my clothes and cut off my head...... Oh, look, the robber is coming......"
With the screams of the fat old man, a strongman with an indigo face and red eyebrows and unkempt hair carried a bright steel knife, jumped three times and jumped in two, and came to the front of everyone.
Wukong looked at it and saw that although this robber was also vicious and abnormal, it was not the purple-faced man he was looking for. So, in addition to feeling a little disappointed, he naturally poured all his anger on the robber in front of him.
"Well, bold and strongman, hurry up and leave me what you stook, if not, it will annoy your Grandpa Jin, be careful of your head!" Before the robber could speak, Wukong shouted angrily.
"What? Grandpa himself is a robber, but you want to rob Grandpa of what he has gotten, are you crazy or stupid? Just, Grandpa first cut open the belly of your monkey cub to see if you have a bear's heart and leopard gall?!" the robber said and stepped forward with a knife, swept away the fallen leaves in the autumn wind, and slashed at Wukong's waist!
"You're looking for death!" Wukong was furious, jumped up, flew to the top of the robber's head with a "whoosh", and then twisted his waist, rushed up with his feet, rushed down with his head, clenched his right fist, exerted his strength, and used a move to smash the shield with King Kong, and hit the robber's heavenly spirit cover with a bang!
"Slap", with a loud bang, the robber couldn't dodge, and was beaten by Wukong Ten thousand peach blossoms!
"Plop ......" At the same time as the dead body fell, Wukong fell to the ground lightly.
"Hahaha......" In the long laughter, Wukong saw the robber's corpse slashing his hands and feet, twitched a few times, and suddenly turned into a dead wolf with a broken head and bleeding!
When everyone saw it, they were all stunned.
......Just when everyone was in shock, the bereaved puppy came out of nowhere and bit the bloody dead wolf on the ground......
"Ahh......h Monsters, monsters, but it turns out that this monster was turned into a robber...... Monks, strong men, all the benevolent men, it is the small road that saved your lives, the small way is on the top, please accept the high monks, strong men, and all the benevolent princes...... "Maybe he was overly frightened, the fat old man stared at his eyes and expressed his excited and flustered emotions incoherently, while stiffening his body, "poof" and fell at Xuanzang's feet, and then stretched out his trembling hands, and hugged Xuanzang's legs again.
"The people of the world are in charge of the affairs of the world, the immortal chief is invited to ...... quickly" Xuanzang frowned, motioned for Wukong and the others to step forward together, and it took a lot of effort for everyone to break the fat old man's two big hands that were holding Xuanzang tightly, and dragged him up.
"Strange, strange, why is it that as soon as this fat old man gets close to him, his heart is frightened......" After this toss, Xuanzang once again deeply felt this kind of restlessness from the depths of his heart and the strange fear caused by it......
"Hey, Daoye, what do you mean by this? Even if I save your life, you can't hold on to my master's legs, right?!" Seeing the fat old man with red ears and wheezing and panting, Wukong was also puzzled.
"Oh, strong man, monk, don't get me wrong, Fang is Xiaodao is too excited, a little out of shape......" Seeing that Wukong and Xuanzang were vigilant, the fat old man hurriedly bowed and said, "Xiaodao is a disciple of Sanqing who guards himself, his family name is Long, called Long Tao, he has been a monk in Baiyun Temple not far from here since he was a child, and now he is fortunate to be the abbot of the temple." A few days ago, Xiaodao went out on a trip at the request of a friend, and today, Xiaodao is rushing back to Guanli to participate in the annual spring rain prayer puja. It was also Xiaodao who was anxious, and took a shortcut, not wanting to bump into the demon. And Xiaodao can survive, thanks to the righteous rescue of all the benevolent dukes, Xiaodao is brave, I want to ask you to move the Baiyun Temple, even if you eat a sip of water in my temple and drink a sip of tea in my hall, it can be regarded as a little gratitude to Xiaodao......"
"Alas...... The monk and the Taoist family, the master of Longguan does not have to be polite, I still have important matters, so I will not go to the precious treasure land!"
"What's important??," looked at the monk's expression, did he encounter any trouble?" asked Long Tao cautiously.
"Alas...... Dragon...... Lord, you have ...... I don't know, I ...... The family teacher is not ...... What is it...... Idler, he is old...... They are ...... The ...... of today's saints On the seal, to ...... Make Tianzhu and seek ...... The Great ...... of the True Scriptures Tang Yudi - Xuan ...... Master Zang!" Without waiting for Xuanzang to say anything more, the little mute hurriedly answered on the side, "Just ...... In Fangcai, I ...... We passed through the woods...... When the Erlang Temple on the side, it is not ...... Be careful to be taken by one...... Purple ...... with a long whip The big man stole the ...... Body wrapped, I ...... We chase ...... Only then did I ...... I met your Excellency......"
"What, is this senior monk the world-famous Master Xuanzang?" Hearing this, Long Tao almost jumped up with joy, "Master Xuanzang, you are a model for all our cultivators! Xiaodao is also a master, and there are a hundred and ten old Taoists in charge under his hands, not Xiaodao is talking big, as long as you mobilize them all, within a day or two, you can find out the thief and recover the master's lost package!"
"Is it?!If Lord Longguan can really help the poor monk find the package, the poor monk will definitely thank him again!" Hearing Long Tao say this, Xuanzang immediately clasped his palms together and turned his worries into joy.
"Why did the master say this? If it weren't for you waiting for the road to see the injustice and take a righteous action, I am afraid that Xiaodao would have already become the belly of this wolf spirit! The master asked Xiaodao to help find the package, that is to look up to Xiaodao! Master, please relax, Xiaodao will do his best to find the package, in order to repay the master and all the benevolent fathers for saving their lives!" Long Tao said, bowing deeply to Xuanzang and the others, "Master, dear bengongs, this is not the place to speak, please follow the trail to Baiyun Temple......
"That being the case, it's better to be respectful than to obey your fate, and the poor monks and apprentices will be disturbed...... Xuanzang said, took Wukong and others, followed Long Tao, and everyone went out of the woods together.
Bypassing a mound, and going forward for about five or six miles, in the distance, you can see a Taoist temple surrounded by more than 100 towering green pines on the top of the hills, standing majestically with cigarette smoke......
