Chapter Twenty-Five: The Cunning Old Dragon (Two More Collections!)
Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain with a somersault cloud. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoAs soon as he arrived at the bottom of the mountain, he met the Dragon King of the East China Sea.
At this moment, the dragon king is sitting on the iron plate bridge at the entrance of the water curtain cave, babbling and pulling erhu.
Wukong stepped forward and said, "Old Dragon, I haven't seen you for many days, I didn't expect you to be okay!"
The dragon king looked up and saw that it was Wukong, and said in surprise: "Who is my Dao, it turns out to be the Great Sage." It seems that the period of the Great Sage Tribulation has expired, congratulations. ”
Wukong said: "This calamity is full, but there is another hidden secret, which is difficult to explain. By the way, I said Lao Long, you don't enjoy Qingfu in your crystal palace, but why did you run to my cave door to pull an erhu?"
The Dragon King said: "I'm bored in the Crystal Palace, come out and relax." Your Huaguo Mountain is good, the mountain is good, and it is pleasant. ”
Wukong will be suspicious: "Yes, then you can enjoy the scenery slowly, and I will go back to the mountain to see my sons first." ”
Who knew that the Dragon King grabbed Wukong and said: "Great Sage, don't worry, you sons, I will take care of the old dragon." A few days ago, I also selected four beauties from my Dragon Palace to marry your four vice-generals. ”
Wukong said strangely: "What kind of calculation are you old dragon doing? Could it be that today and this day came out of the west?"
The old dragon said: "What are you talking about, you and I have been neighbors for so many years, and it is also appropriate to take care of each other." You don't have to rush back to see what you want, go and sit in my dragon palace first. My brother and son haven't seen each other for a long time, and it's rare for you to come back today, so I should wash your dust. ”
Wukong Zhang's second monk was confused, and he didn't know what medicine was sold in this old dragon gourd. The dragon king didn't care what Wukong was thinking, and pulled Wukong to the Crystal Palace.
Because he was in a hurry, Wukong didn't have time to recite the decision to avoid the water, and he was immediately choked, and said: "Slow down, slow down." I said, old dragon, when have I been so familiar with you?"
The dragon king smiled: "As the saying goes, once you are born and you are familiar twice, your old neighbors, it is precisely because you have to move around more that you can get acquainted." ”
When the two came to the Dragon Palace, the Dragon King ordered the left and right to put on a banquet, and only let the turtle be accompanied.
After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the Dragon King said: "Great Sage, you said something indescribable just now, do you think there is something unspeakable? If it's inconvenient to say, just treat me as a big brother. ”
Wukong rarely met his confidant with wine today, and he was also happy to drink, so he told the Dragon King about protecting Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures.
In the end, he said: "That Tang Seng doesn't know the hearts of good people, I helped him kill the thief, but he complained to me in turn, saying that I can't be his apprentice and can't go to the west." I didn't bother to listen to him, so I came back directly. ”
After hearing this, the Dragon King said to Wukong: "Great Sage, you have always been smart, but today you are so confused, you shouldn't be, you shouldn't be." ”
Wukong said: "Old Dragon, what do you mean by this?"
The Dragon King said: "Great Sage, listen to me carefully. I think that when the Buddha defeated you, why didn't he kill you and subdue you, but suppressed you in the lower realm. But in this place of repression, the left is not left, the right is not right, the front is not forward, the back is not behind, and it is exactly on the road that the Tang monks must pass through to learn the scriptures in the west?
The words of the dragon king really woke up the dreamer with a word!
Wukong suddenly realized: "Yes, how can there be such a clever thing in this world!"
The Dragon King woke up again and said, "Guanyin Bodhisattva said that he was passing by to see you, but I can't finish it." She often walks around in the lower realm, she can't come late, she can't come early, why does this Tang monk come to see you as soon as she wants to learn the scriptures? Besides, how much friendship do you have with the Bodhisattva, it is worth her time to come and see you?"
Wukong said: "What kind of friendship can I have with her, it's just that when I messed up the Heavenly Palace, I had a fight with her disciple Hui'an Xing, and other than that, there is no other intersection." ”
The Dragon King said, "The Great Sage thinks you understand?"
Wukong said: "I don't know now, then I'll be stupid to go home! This is a set by the Buddha a long time ago, waiting for my grandson to drill it." ”
The Dragon King said, "You can't say that. Great Sage, although you have great magical powers, you suffer from being nameless and pointless, and you can't be regarded as a god, you can only be regarded as a demon immortal. Now that the Buddha has given you a great creation, you should be happy. If you can ensure that Tang Seng obtains the true scriptures, will the Buddha treat you badly?"
Wukong said: "But that Tang Xuanzang doesn't like me horizontally and vertically, and my grandson can't see it." Now that he has fired me, how can I ensure that he obtains the true scriptures? What's more, I don't bother to listen to him, so I might as well go back and make myself king, but I can be happy and happy. ”
The Dragon King said: "Great Sage, you are talking foolishly again! You don't want to think about it, how can the Buddha give up casually after hundreds of years, maybe even thousands of years? This Tang monk is a mortal, and he is going to the west for a long time, and there are many demons and monsters along the way. Apart from you, Sun Dasheng, who else in this world can ensure that he can obtain the true scriptures smoothly? Tell me, will the Buddha be willing to let you live happily?"
When Wukong heard this, he also felt reasonable, since the Buddha had already chosen to protect the Tang monk, how could he easily change his plan. After being praised by the dragon king, I really felt that apart from myself, I couldn't find a better candidate to be Xuanzang's bodyguard.
Wukong said: "The matter has come to this, what should I do?"
The Dragon King said: "There is one more thing, I said that I know about it with the Great Sage. The Buddha intended to preach the eastern land, and this matter has spread in the fairy world, and it is not a secret. And in order to cooperate with this plan, the Buddha also started filming its promotional information film at the same time, and the name is Journey to the West. I'm honored to tell Daishonah now that you're the main cast of this expansion. ”
Wukong Qi said: "Oh, so there is still such a thing?"
The Dragon King said: "This Journey to the West, since the Tang monk left Chang'an, the East Tu, has been filmed, real-time photography, real-time transmission." In other words, it's a live broadcast! As long as they want, all the righteous gods can spend 100,000 taels of gold to buy remote sensing crystals from Xixing Film Co., Ltd. This remote sensing crystal is equivalent to a ticket, and with this crystal, you can watch this expansion at the same time. Not only that, but Xixing Film Co., Ltd. also issued shares, and Lao Long also bought a few shares as soon as possible. ”
The more Wukong listened, the more curious he became: "My grandson has been suppressed for more than 500 years, and this news has also been blocked, I didn't expect the Buddha to make so many tunes?"
Dragon King said: "This expansion film has only started filming for a short time, and the stock issuance has not been long in coming. Recently, the Great Sage has been protecting the Tang monk on his westward journey, and he doesn't come to me to walk around, so naturally he doesn't know. There is even more strange: this West Tianling Mountain, not only issued stocks, but also opened a westbound lottery Co., Ltd., all kinds of immortals, can participate in gambling. ”
Wukong exclaimed, "What's there to bet on?"
The Dragon King said: "There are many gambling methods, and anything can be used for gambling." For example, how many miles can Tang Seng travel in a day, whether the monsters he encounters every day are singular or even, or when to fast, when to go out, and so on, can be used for gambling. ”
Wukong asked, "Such a trivial matter is also used for gambling?"
The Dragon King said: "What's even more interesting is that the giant spirit god has also set up a periphery in the heavenly court, and there are many people who participate in the gambling." That giant spirit god, you know, don't look at his mana, his luck is excellent, and he has already won a lot of silver. It is said that two days ago, he gambled that Liu Boqin could beat the tiger to death with a few moves, and finally won the flame gun of the third prince of Nezha. Nezha, this bastard, is arrogant and domineering, and the gambling is very poor. ”
Wukong laughed, "You immortals are too boring. ”
The dragon king said: "To be an immortal, you have a long life, so you naturally want to have some fun." Now you can watch a play and spend some money to gamble, what could be more interesting than that?"
Wukong suddenly thought of something and asked, "Oh, it's not good! You said that this Journey to the West is broadcast in real time, so don't the people in this play have no personal privacy at all?"
The Dragon King said: "A good show performed by a few great monks, and there is not even a heroine, where does the fart privacy come from? Great Sage, you are joking." ”
Wukong said again: "Then I came to the East China Sea, wasn't it also photographed?"
The Dragon King explained in detail: "This main shooting equipment is aimed at Tang Seng. If there is a fight scene, a storyboard will appear. As for going to the toilet, or where to hide and steal or something, it is generally impossible to photograph. Great Sage, you come to my East China Sea, it is in a state of automatic departure, and it is impossible to be photographed. Goku nodded in understanding.
The Dragon King said: "Actually, I wasn't relaxing on Huaguo Mountain just now, but I made a special trip to wait for you there." Just now I saw you arguing with that Tang monk on the remote sensing crystal, and I knew that it was not good. Think about it, with your temper, you will probably fall out, so go to the iron bridge and wait for you in advance. Don't blame me for fooling you, I really can't say a word, so I invited the Great Sage to come to my Dragon Palace to sit. ”
Wukong said: "Then according to the meaning of the old dragon, what should I do?"
The old dragon said: "What else? Naturally, I will continue to go back to protect the Tang monk to the west." Well, not now, though. ”
Wukong said, "Oh?
The Dragon King said: "Great Sage, now you are also a popular movie star, of course you have to have a movie star fan." Since Tang Seng drove you away, if you rush back like this, you will really lose your value. If I'm not mistaken, someone will come to you soon, and then the Great Sage will borrow a donkey from the slope. Wouldn't everyone be happy if they didn't lose face and didn't have to tear their faces with the Buddha in this way?"
When the dragon king said this, he no longer spoke, but dipped his finger in the wine and wrote a word "false" on the table.
Wukong comprehended, and said with a low smile: "These Dao Dao, why didn't I think of it, could it be that I have been pressed under the Five Elements Mountain for so long, and my brain has been squeezed out? ”
Lao Long said: "You can't say that! Just because you have been suppressed by the Buddha for more than 500 years, the news is blocked. As soon as this news is blocked, then all you can think of will naturally be less and narrower. ”
Wukong said: "This is more important to the old dragon." But then again, Lao Long, you are so enthusiastic about Lao Sun and me, but you don't know what kind of heart you have?"
The Dragon King said, "Great Sage, listen to me. If my calculation is correct, there will be great turmoil in this stock market since you leave your post, and if the Great Sage is willing to listen to my advice, I can find the right time to make him a lot of money. When the time comes, you and I will split the account fifty-fifty, how about it?"
Wukong said: "Okay, you dragon king, finally show the fox's tail! It turns out that you are playing this wishful thinking, and you have surrounded my old grandson together, amazing, amazing." ”
The Dragon King said: "Great Sage Brother, although I have some selfish intentions, I definitely didn't cheat you, you can't mistake my kindness." ”
Wukong said: "It's easy to say, it's easy to say, you are also well-intentioned, what reason do I have to blame you? Are you really the kind of unreasonable person who is my grandson? As for this five-fifty account splitting matter, there is no need to mention it, you just need to bother to take care of my gang of sons, and I will accept your affection." ”
The Dragon King said: "Great Sage, you just have to rest assured. Your son, I will take care of it with my heart, and by the way, I will also renovate your mountain gate. The next time you come back to save your relatives, it will definitely make you refreshed. ”
Wukong was overjoyed and said: "The old dragon is really on the road, everything depends on you." Now that I've almost drunk this wine, I'll go back to the mountain first, and we'll talk another day, how about it?"
The dragon king said: "The great sage doesn't need to worry, it's rare to get together today, my brother and I should be closer and closer." So he ordered the left and right to withdraw the banquet, serve fragrant tea, and continue to talk to Wukong.
