On the eastbound road, Wukong caught up with Tang Seng in the clouds. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wukong didn't return overnight, he returned at noon, the fifteenth full moon last night, Xuanzang was afraid that Wukong would go back to Jinping Mansion to find the Buddha's bad luck, and when he saw Wukong come back, he asked worriedly: "Wukong, didn't you go back to Jinping Mansion last night, didn't you already descend to the goblin last month?"
Wukong smiled and told the story of last night, speaking of killing three demon monks, Xuanzang's face was like ashes, and when Wukong said that he accidentally fell asleep in a high place, and when it was dawn, thousands of people protected each other, Xuanzang's face was embarrassed and red, and Wujing praised: "The people will repay after knowing their kindness, and Brother Monkey will fight Jinping Mansion three times in vain." ”
When Wukong said that he had taken the emperor to Jinping Mansion, and after the trial, he beheaded five local officials on the Golden Lantern Bridge, calming the people's anger, Xuanzang was really angry, and said angrily: "Wukong, you don't care if you kill the Buddha and Bodhisattva, Emperor Tianzhu is a human emperor and a noble son of heaven, how can you take it and send it to it at will!"
Wukong said with a smile: "It's too late for the emperor to thank Lao Sun, the embankment of a thousand miles collapsed in the anthill, how do you know that Tianzhu's eternal foundation will not be destroyed by this public grievance, Lao Sun also did this for the sake of the princess, if not, after killing the three demon monks, and then killing those corrupt officials, he will come back in less than midnight, and he still needs to be busy until this time?"
Bajie said jealously: "Although the princess is a fairy fake, since you have received the hydrangea, even if it is thrown by an impostor, it has some cause and effect with you, and you should be the most concerned about this matter! The old pig feels that what Brother Monkey said is reasonable, and extraordinary things should be done by extraordinary means, that Fengxian County is thousands of miles away from the imperial city, and it is necessary to know that the emperor is far away, and there are few things to deceive and conceal in this world? ”
Although Lao Sha was honest and did not speak, Xuanzang also knew that he must stand on Wukong's side, it was difficult to sing alone, Xuanzang sulked, and wanted to ride the horse forward with a clamp on the horse's belly, so as not to listen to the three of them talk about Jinping Mansion again, but the white dragon horse moved forward smoothly and slowly with four hooves, ignoring the spur of Tang Seng on his body.
Xuanzang didn't want to think about it, this white dragon horse was transformed by the third prince of the West Sea, and was saved by Wukong from the Huabiao pillar, and he was a supporter of Wukong who was more determined than Lao Sha.
Xuanzang was angry, jumped off the horse, stumbled and almost fell, Lao Sha quickly helped each other, was pushed away by Xuanzang angrily, and strode forward alone, until he couldn't hear the three people behind him talking, his pace slowed down a little.
After another three or five days, Xuanzang had to rely on Wukong's escort, and his anger had already disappeared.
I don't know what is the state of this place, after stepping in, I only see ten rooms and nine emptiness, desolate, Wu Purification Zhai has no place to go, Wukong is also idle and uncomfortable, take the initiative to take the responsibility of fasting, the clouds come and go in the clouds, but never empty-handed.
Xuanzang looked for someone to inquire, only to know that this place is Fengxian County, also belongs to the Tianzhu foreign state, has been smooth wind and rain, suddenly there is no rain for three years, the river is cut off, the well is dry and the spring is dry, the grain is cut off, the grass is not growing, the people are dead three times and two and a half, so there are only ten rooms and nine empty, and the deserted villages are everywhere.
Xuanzang was shocked when he heard it, there were unforeseen circumstances in the straight sky, Wukong sneered after hearing it, Tang Seng only couldn't do it.
After another five or six days, there was a big city in front of me, and when I looked closely, there were three big characters in Fengxian City.
This city is not small, compared to Jinping Mansion is not much more let, but compared to Jinping Mansion, the civil is more desolate, and occasionally the people are also withered, even if it is the official general at the city gate, he also has a dish, and he has seen it before a list at the eaves of the city, Xuanzang is even more frightened, and he saw that the list is written:
"The marquis of Fengxian County of the Great Tianzhu State, for the list of hiring masters, recruiting great dharma, because the county land is broad, the army and the people are solid, the drought has been high for many years, the drought has been exhausted, the land is thin and the army is thin, the river is shallow and the ditch is empty. There is no water in the well, there is no food at the bottom of the spring, the rich talk about their whole lives, and the poor people can hardly survive. The price of 100 gold is 5 taels of salary. A ten-year-old woman is easy to get three liters, and a five-year-old man is brought with him. The city fears the law, pawns clothes and pawns to survive, and the countryside bullies the public, robs and eats people and cares for their lives. For this reason, he gave the list of essays, relying on the sages of the ten directions, praying for rain to save the people, and repaying his kindness. I am willing to thank you with a thousand gold, and I will never lie to the list. ”
Old Shaqi said: "The county marquis?"
Wukong said with a smile: "Shangguan is the surname, and the non-official position is also, and the surname of the hundred families carries 'Shangguan Ouyang' is this surname." ”
The old pig also remembers, but unfortunately people with this surname are rare. ”
Xuanzang read the list text, his compassion was moved, and he said urgently: "The three of you are all powerful, and don't want to talk about it, which one will ask for rain, and ask him for a rain to help the world and save the people, this is a good move, if no one will, don't miss the trip if you leave early." ”
Wukong said with a smile: "Lao Sun will call for wind and rain, and it is not difficult to pray for rain." ”
Why there is no rain in Fengxian County, the reason is that Wukong naturally knows, Jinping Mansion has offended Lingshan, but today it is going to face the enemy Heavenly Court, Wukong is also a little speechless, knowing that the Journey to the West has been reversed on his head, but on this eastward journey, the goblins have not yet appeared, but they have first offended the two strongest forces of the Three Realms.
Self-deprecating in his heart, Wukong has no fear, and he has to take care of what he is not used to!
Use the iron rod in my hand to sweep away the injustice of the world! Even if it is an enemy of the Jade Emperor and the like, I want to be worthy of my heart.
After Wukong finished speaking, he stepped forward with a smile, and took off the list that had not dried up, and said arrogantly: "This list of old grandsons has been revealed!"
When the soldiers guarding under the eaves heard about it, they hurriedly went to the county to report.
In the lobby of the Junhou Mansion in Fengxian County, the two of them reported urgently: "Master, thousands of joys have fallen from the sky, and today they are on the list, and there is a monk with three strangers, one of whom can call the wind and rain when he sees the list, and when the villain comes, the stranger has already unveiled the list, but it is not the joy of thousands of people?"
The marquis was overjoyed when he heard this, and he did not prepare a horse or a sedan chair, but ran out of the lobby and ran towards the entrance of the city, so panicked that the guards hurriedly followed.
At the entrance of the city, there were many people who had seen the county marquis, and some people shouted: "The county marquis is here!"
Everyone made a gap in the crowd, the county marquis looked for Tang Seng, and saw the three strangers on Xuanzang's side, no matter which one it was, when the street towards Wukong Bajie Sha Seng and the three people fell down and bowed, and said: "Xiaguan is the Shangguan clan of Fengxian County, Xun Mu worships the fairy lord to pray for rain to save the people, and the immortal master is merciful, calling for wind and rain to save the people of my county!"
The marquis kept kowtowing, and Xuanzang hurriedly helped him up and said: "Master Hou doesn't want to do this great gift, Wukong is the best person, and he will save the world by his mystical arts, this is not the place to speak, Master Hou hurry up!"
Even if Xuanzang pulled and persuaded him, the marquis still kowtowed six or seven times, and his sincerity can be seen.
After getting up, the Marquis of Shangguan County said respectfully: "Xiaguan is anxious, don't blame the immortal master!" and invite the four immortals to sit in the Xiaguan Hall for a while. ”
