Since Xuanzang accepted Sha Wujing as an apprentice, their five-person team is all counted. The team traveled all the way west without incident, and the weather gradually cooled down, entering the late autumn season.

On this day, it was late again, Xuanzang said: "Wukong, if it's late today, where should we go to rest?"

Wukong said: "Master, where can I find people in this barren mountain and wilderness? ”

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, you don't bear the burden, but you don't care about the life or death of me and Senior Brother Sha." Since crossing the quicksand river, I have basically climbed mountains and mountains, so it is not hard. You see how heavy the burden is on me and Senior Brother Sha. ”

Wukong said: "It's not that I haven't picked it, where is it heavy!"

Bajie said: "Isn't it nonsense when you open your eyes? When you carried the burden, how much luggage did you have, and how much luggage do you have now? Since crossing the quicksand river, the master has purchased a lot of belongings. A few days ago, the master also bought a tent for the boss in that small town at the foot of the mountain, and bought countless pots and pans. The most infuriating thing is that you actually bought a barbecue grill! You say that you are a monk and don't eat meat, so what are you doing with a barbecue grill? Roast chestnuts and roast apples to eat? Now that I really can't walk, it's better to find someone to ask for some food to eat as soon as possible, and then find a hot kang head to sleep beautifully!"

Wukong smiled: "You idiot, who are you talking to?"

Bajie said: "Talk to you." ”

Wukong said: "Then you are looking for the wrong person! I am only responsible for Master's security, and you and Senior Brother Sha are responsible for taking care of the luggage, which was agreed earlier." If you're not convinced, just try it with me?"

Bajie said with a bitter face: "Brother Monkey, you are too bullying." You are Master's apprentice, and I am also Master's apprentice, why do I and Senior Brother Sha deserve to be coolies!"

Wukong said: "You talk a lot, complain about this and that." Look at Senior Brother Sha, who picks more than you, does he have a complaint? If you are crooked again, believe it or not, I will beat you with a peach blossom on your face!"

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, even if you don't want to choose, that's it." But you see that big red deer, so fat, but only carrying a master, this is very unreasonable. “

Wukong said: "Xiaolong is in charge of carrying the master, and this is also a long time ago! If you don't believe it, you can ask the Bodhisattva." ”

Wujing said: "This horse is also arranged by the Bodhisattva?"

Wukong said: "This horse is not an ordinary product. He was originally the third prince of Ao Yan, the Dragon King of the West Sea, and he was about to be beheaded because he violated the rules of heaven, but it was the Bodhisattva who saved him and became the master's mount. ”

Wujing said: "You said that this horse was transformed by a dragon?"

Wukong said: "Yes, that's right. ”

Wujing said: "But I see that he walks slowly, as if he has a plague." ”

Goku laughed, "Isn't it easy to go fast, look at me!" said Goku, kicking Ryoma's hind legs. Surprised, Ryoma spread his hooves and sped forward.

Xuanzang sat on the horse and was stunned. He said angrily: "Good you grandson monkey, you dare to tease as a teacher, see how I fix you!"

The horse ran halfway up the mountain in one go, and then slowly stopped. Xuanzang gasped and looked up, and found that in a bamboo forest in front of him, there were several pavilions and corners, and it seemed that there was someone. After a while, a few apprentices caught up.

I only heard Wukong say: "Master, you can't blame me." It's Senior Brother Nasha who doesn't believe that your mount is a divine beast, I'm just showing it to him. ”

He turned his head to Wujing again and said, "Senior brother, you can see it now, our master is really riding a divine beast, do you say that you don't pull the wind?"

Wujing said: "Those who can have divine beast mounts are all great powers." Look at those bodhisattvas, some of them ride white elephants, some of them ride golden retrievers, and they all pull the wind tightly. Look at that Taishang Laojun again, riding a big buffalo, and dragging it like 2580,000. Master's dragon mount is simply a status symbol. ”

Xuanzang was praised like this, and he was also fluttering, and he didn't mention the punishment of Wukong again, so he opened the topic and said: "Apprentice, look, there is a manor in front of it, and we can just go and spend the night." ”

Wukong raised his eyes and saw that the sky above the bamboo forest was shrouded in clouds, and the rui qi was boundless, and he had already guessed what was wrong. However, he didn't dare to break the sky, but said: "Sure enough, there is a family that just weighs the mind of Bajie." ”

When Bajie heard this, he felt that the burden was much lighter, and his qi and blood value had also recovered, so he quickly picked up the burden and walked forward quickly. When the master and apprentice approached, it turned out to be a big manor. Sha Seng and Bajie were both amazed, and it was expected that this was a local tyrant's house.

Wukong stepped forward to call the door, and after half a ring, a little maid came out to open the door, and when she saw a few monsters at the door, she quickly shrank back again.

After waiting a few more hours, a woman's voice came from inside the door and asked, "Who has come to my widow's door?"

Xuanzang said: "The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern part of the country, and was ordered to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. Passing by Baozhuang today, it is getting late, so I sincerely ask you to borrow a night. ”

When the woman heard this, she opened the door and greeted her with a smile, "Elders, please come in." The master and apprentice thanked each other, and then led the horses, picked up the luggage, and went inside.

Sitting down, Bajie peeked at the woman. The woman was beautifully dressed, did not apply fat powder, was extremely well maintained, and her appearance was also beautiful, and she was not inferior to the twenty-eight beauties.

The woman was hospitable, greeted them one by one, and ordered the maid to serve fragrant tea. After the tea was finished, he ordered to prepare an offering for fasting. Xuanzang thanked him and said, "The female donor's surname, what kind of boundary is this?"

The woman said, "This is the boundary of Xiniu Hezhou. The little woman's maiden name is Jia, and her husband's surname is Mo. My husband and I had no children and only three daughters. My husband passed away the year before last, and now only the four of us are left to guard this huge family business, and there is no half of our relatives and family. I wanted to remarry someone else, but I was reluctant to do this, but today is also a coincidence, elder, the four of you master and apprentice are here, and they happen to be matched with our mother and daughter. The little woman has an idea to recruit the four of you as sons-in-law, I wonder what the elders think?"

After Xuanzang listened, his back was full of cold sweat.

He thought to himself, "I just casually asked you two simple questions, and the scene was just a joke!" and it turned out to be such an answer, which is too fast to adapt to." So Xuanzang just lowered his head and drank tea, silent.

The woman said, "My family has endless delicacies from the mountains and seas, endless silk and satin, thousands of fertile fields, patches of pastures, herds of mules and horses, countless pigs, sheep and cattle, a real family of local tyrants, are you still not satisfied, elder?"

Xuanzang was forced to be helpless, and let out an "oh".

Seeing Xuanzang's absent-mindedness in answering, the woman continued to persuade: "I was born on the third day of the third month of the third month of Ding Hai, and I am only thirty-six years old this year. My eldest daughter's name is Zhenzhen, who is twenty years old this year, my second daughter's name is Ai Ai, who is eighteen years old, and my third daughter's name is Mercy, who is sixteen years old this year, and all of them are as beautiful as flowers, and they are much more beautiful than me, and they have never been married to others! If the elders are willing to return to the vulgar and stay here, they will all be the owners of this manor in the future, and it is better than going to the West to learn the scriptures, right?"

Xuanzang thought secretly: "I usually think I am a wise person, and I have seen a lot in the world." I have been on the Jinluan Palace, and the Tang King has answered like a stream, I have entered the monster cave, I have seen the monster eat people, I have traveled through thousands of mountains and rivers, and I have crossed the 800-mile quicksand river. Even the famous Guanyin junior sister, I have seen it countless times, but I have never encountered the current situation, how can I break it now?"

Xuanzang was silent, thinking hard about countermeasures, but Zhu Bajie was in a hurry. He couldn't help but tug at Xuanzang's sleeve and said, "Master, people are talking to you, so you can also give someone a quasi-letter." ”

Xuanzang was worried that he didn't have an idea, but now when he saw Bajie talking, he asked, "Hey, Bajie, do you have any ideas?"

Bajie said: "You are the master, of course you have the final say, what ideas can I have." ”

Xuanzang said: "I have been a monk since I was a child, and I never knew what a woman was. Bajie, tell me, what good is it if you stay here and be a farmer?"

The woman was not happy when she heard this, and asked Xuanzang, "Elder, what good is it for you to become a monk?"

Xuanzang said: "It's good to be a monk." The quiet place of the meditation room can cultivate the mind, read a few books, practice a few lines of words, raise flowers and grass, and cultivate sentiment. Without the fetters of mundane things, there will be a lot of less troubles, and when you are interested, you will go out to enjoy the scenery of the four seasons, and breathe the freshest air. The mountains and rivers are magnificent, fascinating, and open-minded. This kind of life is very meaningful. If you become the head of the family, you have to worry about the affairs of oil, salt, firewood and rice, and you have to manage a large group of servants, and you are entangled in chores all day long, where is there so much leisurely time to appreciate the fun of calligraphy and painting, and the beauty of mountains and rivers? As soon as I get old, my body is not flexible, my appetite is not good, and a group of children and grandchildren have to make trouble in order to fight for a family property. What I hear in my ears and what I see in my eyes every day is all kinds of troubles, heart-warming things, and that's the bad cake. ”

When the woman heard this, she was furious and said, "You monk who doesn't know how to have fun! I really want to recruit you four masters and apprentices, but you use such an excuse to prevaricate with me! If it weren't for the fact that you were a guest from afar, I would have kicked you out long ago." You said that you have been a monk since you were a child, and you don't want to be vulgar, so it's up to you. But you still have three apprentices, and you must keep one of them to serve as a façade for my family!"

When Xuanzang saw her angry, he couldn't help but feel empty, so he had to say to Wukong: "Apprentice, this female benefactor must keep one, or you will stay, right?"

Wukong said: "Master, I jumped out of the cracks in the stones, and I have never been keen on that thing. Or let Bajie stay. ”

Bajie said: "Senior brother, don't run on me! Who should stay, let's all have to discuss it carefully." ”

Xuanzang said: "Since neither of you agrees, then let Wujing stay." ”

Wujing said: "Master, what are you talking about! Disciple, I have been persuaded by the Bodhisattva and sincerely submit to you. I've been with you for less than two months now, and you're going to drive me away. Master, you will die of this heart, I will follow you!"

When the woman saw that you had pushed them over and I pushed them over, I couldn't help but be angry and walked away, and I didn't mention anything about fasting.

Bajie couldn't help complaining: "Master, you see that you have made people angry. Even if you don't want to stay, you should be vague, first trick the fasting to eat, and then sleep beautifully. ”

Wujing said: "Second brother, why don't you stay, I think you are the most suitable." ”

Bajie said: "Don't wronged me." Well, we have to discuss this matter carefully. ”

Wukong said: "It's a fart to discuss, I also think Bajie is the most suitable." Bajie, you can give a happy word, as long as you are willing, we will support you. If you become the owner of the village here, it will also be good for us, right? ”

Bajie said: "This is not good, I am a person with a wife." ”

Wujing said strangely: "It turns out that the second brother has a sister-in-law?"

Wukong said with a smile: "The family Bajie is the son-in-law of the old lady of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom. But don't worry, Bajie, as long as you give me a little more benefit fee, I will never shake this matter out, and you can be your owner here with peace of mind!"

Bajie said: "Brother Monkey, let's not mention the past." Since you think that my stay will be so beneficial to the westward journey, it doesn't matter if I sacrifice it personally, it's just ...... It's just that Chang'e's matter is a bit of a headache. ”

Wukong said with a smile: "It's been so long, who else will pursue it? What's more, Lao Sun and I have traveled extensively, and we have already gotten the exact news, and your incompetent name has already spread throughout the Three Realms." Now, even if you go out on the street and loudly announce that you have insulted Chang'e, no one will believe it. ”

When Bajie heard this, he was greatly moved. However, over the years, he was afraid of being chased and killed by the earth immortals, and he had palpitations. He is in a dilemma, is this owner doing it, or doing it, or doing it?

Seeing that he was hesitant, Wukong scolded him and said, "Senior brother, you also know that I saw Tai Bai Xing some time ago. I once said to him, now that you have protected the master's scriptures, you have always carried the notorious reputation of a hungry ghost in the sex, and the reputation of Buddhism has been damaged. Venus has a deep friendship with me, so he promised me that he would definitely persuade the Jade Emperor to cancel your charges, and only said that he would send you to the lower realm to protect the scriptures of Buddhism. Chang'e doesn't intend to pursue you, so what else do you have to worry about?"

Bajie cried with joy: "This Venus Lao'er is the number one celebrity under the Jade Emperor, as long as he is willing to agree, this matter will definitely be done, and those earth immortals will never chase me again!

Wukong smiled: "Since you have been wronged, why don't you go to your mother-in-law quickly?"

Bajie twisted and said: "People are new to the city, and they are not very familiar, how embarrassing." ”

Wukong said: "You idiot, you have always been a person who eats and takes, when did you become so shy!

Bajie said: "For such a big matter, we can't have the final say on the two of us, we have to ask the opinions of Master and Senior Brother Sha." ”

Xuanzang said: "I have no opinion, no opinion at all! Just let Bajie stay here, and I can enjoy the blessings by the way." ”

Wujing also said: "The master has no opinions, where will I have any opinions?" Congratulations to Senior Brother, Congratulations to Senior Brother, I wish Senior Brother an early marriage and an early birth of a noble son. ”

Bajie said: "The eight characters haven't been skimmed yet, don't laugh at me." ”

Wujing said: "Senior brother, I, Sha Wujing, am a kind person, how can I laugh at you? ”

Wukong said: "Okay, okay, everyone agrees on this matter, so it's decided." ”

So he shouted to the inner courtyard: "Female donor, open the door quickly, I have good news here!"

When the woman heard this, she opened the door and asked, "Have the elders finally figured it out, and which of them are willing to stay and be the owners of the village?"

Wukong smiled: "There are not few, just one." That's it, let him stay and act as a façade for you. ”

The woman said, "Let it be one for one, and now I will call out the three daughters and see which of them likes." Then he shouted inward, "Really, Ai Ai, mercy, come out and choose a son-in-law!"
