Continuing to travel west, the master and apprentice walked for more than half a month, and suddenly saw a village. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Xuanzang said: "Apprentice, you see that the sky is almost dark, why don't we spend one night in this village?"

Wukong said: "That's what I mean. Master, don't worry, I'll investigate first. ”

He looked over with a keen eye, and saw that the village was peaceful, so he said to Xuanzang: "Everything is normal, no problem at all." ”

As he was talking, he saw a young man with a backpack and an umbrella, hurrying towards him. Wukong grabbed him and said, "Little brother Mo is in a hurry to leave, let me ask you about something: What is the name of the village in front of you, and which boundary does it belong to?"

The young man was an anxious man, and now he had an urgent matter, so he shouted impatiently: "There are so many people in the village, who are you asking is not good, why do you want to come and ask me? Don't get in the way, don't get in the way, I'm in a hurry to get on the way!"

Wukong smiled: "You little brother is also a tangled. I'll just ask you the name of the place, it's a simple thing. You just say a lot of things to prevaricate me, who is delaying whom?"

The young man became more and more annoyed, and shouted: "I have just been angry with the owner, and now I am angry with your bald head, and I have beeped the dog today!"

Wukong said: "If you have the ability, take off my hand, and I will let you go, and I won't bother you again." ”

The man also did not believe in evil, he struggled, he beat and kicked, but he could not get out.

Xuanzang said: "Wukong, you are really. Since he won't say anything, let's go and ask someone else. ”

Wukong said: "Master, I have my own intentions in doing this, and you will know later." ”

So Xuanzang stopped talking.

The man really couldn't talk about it, so he had to say: "Most of the people in this Zhuangzi are surnamed Gao, so their name is Gao Laozhuang, which belongs to the territory of Wusi Tibet. That's fine, you should let me go. ”

Who knew that Wukong was not in a hurry, so he chatted with him: "Little brother, I see that you are dressed like this, you are going to go far away." You tell me where you're going, and I'll let you go. ”

This person was also tempered to the point of losing his temper, so he had to tell the truth: "I am the servant of Gao Taigong, the owner of the village, called Gao Cai." Mrs. Gao fell into a bad trick and recruited a monster as his third son-in-law. He felt that this incident had ruined the door and lost face in front of relatives and friends, so he wanted to withdraw from the marriage. But the monster didn't agree, and he locked the princess's daughter in the backyard for nearly half a year. Taigong couldn't help it, so he told me to find a more powerful mage and come back. That's the way it is, I've made it clear, can you let me go now?"

Wukong said: "Master, you see, I really didn't find the wrong person, and the good deal was automatically sent to the door again! I said Gaocai, you don't have to go far to find any mage, my master and apprentice can also have a meal, and by the way, you can save accommodation fees." In this way, both sides have to earn. What do you think?"

Gao Caiqi said: "You can also hunt demons?"

Wukong said: "Yes, my master is a master of demon hunting." ”

Gao Cai said: "Just this white and chubby monk can catch monsters? I think you want to cheat and eat and drink! Let me tell you, the old lady Gao has been in a very unbeautiful mood recently, so you better not touch his moldy head." Let me go, let me go!"

Wukong said with a smile: "My master is the chief court mage of the Tang Empire in the Eastern Territory, and the people in the rivers and lakes call him the nine-toed holy monk." Whether it is subduing demons and binding monsters, exorcising evil spirits and solving problems, or chanting scriptures and praying for blessings, curing diseases and saving people, he can do everything, but he is no better than those pus-filled monks and Taoists. You just have to report to Mrs. Gao that the discipline is not wrong for you. ”

Gao Cai exclaimed: "It's the same as the truth!"

Wukong turned his head and said, "Master, borrow your customs clearance document for use." ”

Xuanzang said: "Now it's not like you have to go through customs, what are you doing with the customs clearance papers?"

Wukong said: "Show it! Bring it quickly, bring it quickly." ”

Xuanzang knew that Wukong wanted to mess around, but he still gave the text to Wukong.

Wukong took the document to Gao Cai's eyes and shook it: "See, the document personally issued by the Son of Heaven of the Tang Dynasty was stamped with a jade seal and gold seal, this can't be wrong, right?"

Gao Cai said: "I don't read much, and I can't understand it, so you can do whatever you say." ”

Wukong said: "Since this is the case, then lead the way, right?"

Gao Cai had no choice but to take them back to the residence of the prince.

In front of the gate, he turned his head and said, "Two elders, wait a while, I'll go in and report to the princess." Recently, Taigong's temper is not very good, don't mess around, I can't afford to cause trouble. ”

Wukong agreed, put his luggage, and stood at the door with Xuanzang to wait.

As soon as Gao Cai entered the house, he was scolded by the grandfather: "You lazy skinner." I told you to go looking for the mage, why did you just go out and come back?"

Gao Cai said: "Qiyu Taigong, as soon as I left the village, I met two monks and mages from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and they said that they were willing to help us catch demons, and they didn't want money, just a meal, and then spent the night." ”

Taigong thought to himself: "Then the Eastern Tang Dynasty is far away from here, and the road is difficult and dangerous. If these two monks really came from the Tang Dynasty, they must have some skills, maybe they really caught the monster. So he asked, "Where are they?"

Gao Cai said: "It's right outside the door." ”

Taigong hurriedly changed into formal clothes, went out to greet him, and shouted, "Elder." ”

When Xuanzang heard it, he hurriedly returned the salute. Taigong went to look at Wukong and Ryoma again, but he didn't know if he didn't know, and he was startled when he saw it. Xuanzang hurriedly said: "Don't worry, Taigong, this is my apprentice, although he looks weird, but he is also a member of my Buddhist sect, and he is the most talkative." ”

Wukong interjected on the side: "Taigong, you greeted my master, why didn't you say hello to me?"

Taigong listened to Xuanzang's explanation, but he didn't run away. But this monkey is also too ugly, he can't be afraid, so he complained to Gao Cai: "You slave has done some good deeds! Now that the monster with a long mouth and big ears in the house hasn't run away, you have led a Lei Gong face to harm me!"

Wukong said: "You old man doesn't know how to make sense. My grandson is a little ugly, but he has great skills. As long as I help you catch the monster and give your daughter back her freedom, won't you get it? You are not looking for a son-in-law, it doesn't matter if I am beautiful or ugly!"

Taigong thought about it in his heart, and also felt that this was the truth, so he invited the master and apprentice to come in to watch the tea.

Wukong led the dragon horse into the courtyard, tied the horse to the pillar of the open hall by himself, pulled a chair over and let Xuanzang sit first, and then pulled it for himself, crossed his legs, and sat next to him. Taigong smiled when he saw it: "This little elder is a self-acquaintance. ”

Wukong laughed and said, "If you let me live here for a year and a half, I'll still be crazy myself." ”

Gao Cai set up the chair and served the prince to sit down. Tai Gong said: "I heard the servant just now say that the two elders are from Dongtu?"

Xuanzang said: "Exactly." The poor monk was sent by the king of Tang to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. If you want to spend the night tonight, you want to spend the night in Guibaozhuang. ”

Taigong was dissatisfied: "It turns out that the two of you are here to spend the night, why did you take the reason for catching demons to trick me?"

Wukong said: "It's a matter of staying overnight, and by the way, catch a few monsters to play." I wonder how many monsters there are in the house?"

It's too fair: "Oh my God! A monster is tossed enough, and there are a few monsters that have survived!"

Wukong said: "It's just a monster." Then tell me what methods this monster has, and make it clear, so I can catch him. ”

Taigong Qi said: "You are going to hunt demons alone, are you more capable than your master?"

Wukong said: "My master is a master who does not show his face, if there are too few monsters, he is too lazy to do it." Just tell me and I'll take it for you. ”

Tai Gong said: "Little Lao'er, I have no children under my knees, and I only gave birth to three daughters, the eldest daughter is named Xianglan, married to Lijiazhuang, and now works outside with her husband; There is a third daughter left, named Cuilan, I was thinking of recruiting a son-in-law who was plugged in the door and could support the elderly, so I posted a marriage advertisement. Three years ago, a man who applied for the draft, looks honest. He said that he was from the Fuling Mountain clan in the vicinity, and he had no parents and brothers. Lao Er, I saw that he had no worries, which was very rare, so I recruited him as my son-in-law. When this monster first entered the door, he was also diligent and powerful, and he took care of all the farm work at home, but there was only one shortcoming, he would change his face. ”

Wukong said: "It turned out to be a magician?"

When I first arrived, it was dark and strong, but once I drank, my mouth became longer, my ears became larger, and there was a mane on the back of my head. ”

Wukong interjected, "How ugly this is!"

Taigong thought to himself: "The eldest brother doesn't talk about the second brother, the two of you are almost the same!"

But he didn't dare to say this, so he just continued: "This monster eats a lot, and he has to eat three or five buckets of rice at a meal, and then he is only half full." Fortunately, he only eats vegetarian, if he eats meat, he would have bankrupted the little old man. ”

Wukong interjected again: "Isn't it just a foodie, what can be a big deal." ”

Tai Gong said: "Eating too much is still a trivial matter, and now he will fly through the clouds, fly sand and rocks, and frighten the whole village." That's why I wanted to ask a mage to take him in. ”

Wukong said: "It's too simple. Wait until I catch him tonight and ask him to write a document to withdraw from the marriage. ”

It's too fair: "If you still need any paperwork, please help me cut off the root directly!"

Wukong said: "It's easy to say, it's my profession to catch monsters, and it's my purpose to cut grass and eradicate the roots, and I promise to help you get this done!"

Taigong was very happy when he heard this, and immediately prepared a meal to entertain Xuanzang and the others.
