The indispensable and terrifying Temple of the Great King of Inspiration collapsed in an instant, and the villagers of Tongtianhe cheered and shouted like thunder, rushing to the ruins like crazy demons, hammering and kicking to show their resentment, and even the narrow, spitting and urinating on the fragments of the statue, which shows how much they hate the King of Inspiration in their hearts.

After a long time, the villagers have gone crazy enough, and they have made enough trouble, crying and shouting and running to the front of the Sanzang Army, kneeling down in unison, kowtowing and saying: "Elder, thank you for your great kindness, I and other villagers should build temples for the elders, establish ancestral halls, and worship them for a long time." ”

Tang Sanzang looked at pity and waved his hand slightly: "With a gesture, why worry about it, you just need to provide fishing boats for my master and apprentice, so that we can cross the eight hundred miles of the Heavenly River as soon as possible, and the poor monk is here to thank you for not being sensitive." ”

As soon as the words came out, all the villagers looked at each other again, and explained stubbornly: "Holy monk, although this is a small matter, it is really embarrassing for me and other villagers. Just because the king of inspiration has been abusing in the water for two hundred years, the villagers are strictly forbidden to work on the water, even those who make a living by rocking the oars and fishing, they have also changed their livelihoods, and for two hundred years, not to mention the boat, even the shipbuilding and fishing skills have been lost. ”

Sanzang was stunned for a moment when he heard this, then thought about it, and said easily: "It's nothing, but I don't know if there is a craftsman in your place who makes iron and wood?"

The villagers nodded again and again, and replied vigorously: "Yes, yes, holy monk, this is some, who hasn't built a house and beams, as long as it's not a living in the water, although our village is small, it has everything." ”

Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, and said with satisfaction: "That's good, we have also been to several big rivers along the way, and we have the experience of shipbuilding and sailing. ”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers smiled, and said in a loud voice: "That feeling is good, it turns out that the holy monk is so versatile, and he even knows the technology of shipbuilding and sailing, he is really talented." ”

Sanzang smiled slightly bitterly when he heard this, shook his head and sighed: "As the saying goes, it is better to travel thousands of miles than to read thousands of books, theory is never as useful as practice, we have many disasters and difficulties along the way, and understanding some technology is also forced by the situation, and we are forced to be helpless." ”

"Okay, time is pressing, let's not talk about the useless, find a good carpenter and blacksmith, let's go. ”

The old man guarding the temple nodded, waved his big hand, and said proudly: "Holy monk, rest assured, hundreds of people in our village are here, as long as you give an order, everyone will work together to ensure that the work is done properly." ”

Sanzang was very satisfied when he heard this, and he was not polite, and pulled a dry carpenter into the mountain to cut down trees, leaving Wukong to command the blacksmiths to build keel iron nails, and it was also thanks to the kindness of the Sanzang Legion that the people of this side were grateful for the kindness of the Sanzang Army, and the enthusiasm was extremely high, and hundreds of people worked together, and it only took a few hours to build a ten-meter-high building ship and stop it in the water steadily.

Looking at the boat, Tang Sanzang was excited, and after thinking about it, he couldn't help but worry again, because of the deterrence of the King of Inspiration, these villagers have never been in the water since they came out of their mother's womb, let alone sailing by boat, even accidentally falling into the water, it can kill them, and it is too reluctant to ask them to extradite the Sanzang Army to cross the river?

Seeing the hesitation in the eyes of the holy monk, the old man guarding the temple stepped forward respectfully and said, "Holy monk, the building ship has been built, and you can set off on the road as soon as possible, but I don't know why the holy monk is so depressed?"

Sanzang sighed, shook his head and said: "Old man, do you know, in order to prevent the wind and waves in the Tongtian River, this boat is inevitably a little big, just with the strength of my master and apprentice, I am afraid that it will not work, and I will inevitably ask you to help me and wait for a helping hand." ”

Before he finished speaking, all the villagers waved their hands and chuckled: "What am I worried about being a holy monk, we were going to send you across the river, it's really not a big deal, why be so depressed?"

Looking at the simple and sincere eyes of the villagers, Sanzang was both moved and apologetic, and said in a deep tone: "Everyone, boating on the river is not as convenient as walking on land, you have never been in the water since you were born, you have no experience in sailing and sailing, and when you set sail, you are supported by a few of my apprentices, so that there will be no danger, that is, when you return to the sea, the wind and waves in the river are strong, in case of misfortune and the boat capsizes, you don't know how to water, don't you give your life for no reason?"

As soon as the words came out, the villagers laughed again and comforted: "The holy monk is too worried, our ancestors have grown up by the Tongtian River for generations, and have always been fishermen in this river, we are just afraid of the majesty of the inspiration king, and dare not go down to the river to fish, now that the demon king has gone, there is no possibility of threatening our villagers, even if there is no holy monk, we must go into the water, sail in a boat, cast nets to fish, and restore the glory of our ancestors, this is the ancestral teaching, we must not obey it." ”

Seeing that the villagers were speaking earnestly, Bajie smiled, and said with a thorn in his bones: "Nonsense, doesn't the goldfish essence claim to have the magical power to perceive the Three Realms, how can such a net fishing language not be known by him, it is bound to be ruthless and suppressed, how can it still become your ancestral teaching, isn't it fake?"

Seeing the old pig say this, the old man guarding the temple sighed, and said with a handful of tears: "The elder's words can be regarded as to the point, the king of inspiration does have the divine power of perception, even if he whispers words, he can also know, I and other villagers are under such prohibition, silent as cicadas, the road is eye-catching, over time, and gradually find out the doorway, can do it without words, a little look, you will know its meaning." When my ancestors were dying, they remembered that the king of inspiration had ruined their lives, and they regretted that they would not be able to die, but there was always a glimmer of hope in the hearts of the villagers, believing that since ancient times, evil would not prevail over the good, and the demon king would eventually be surrendered one day, and I and other villagers would eventually return to the Tongtian River, weave nets and fish, and avenge the many innocent dead children. ”

Seeing that although there was sadness on the faces of the villagers, but there was a glint of bitter hatred in their eyes, Tang Sanzang believed in the worries of the King of Inspiration from then on, and understood why he had been surrendered by Guanyin, but the real reason why he refused to leave for a long time was that he was afraid that the people would transfer all their hatred for him to the Tongtian River Water Tribe, and in this way, it would be an unjustified and cruel catastrophe.

Thinking of this, Tang Sanzang sighed faintly, shook his head and said, "Folks, you are very wrong to think like this, the King of Inspiration is indeed ashamed of you, but how innocent the river water tribe is, how can you generalize and point the spearhead of hatred at them, this is too biased?"

As soon as the words came out, the villagers were so hateful that their teeth cracked, and they raised their voices: "Why did the holy monk excuse the hateful water tribe, isn't there enough children in my village who died in vain, I am so eager to learn the technology of shipbuilding and navigation, just to return to the Tongtian River as soon as possible, kill the water tribe, and avenge those innocent and tragic children." ”

Sanzang was shocked and moved when he heard this, and sighed: "It turns out that I have worked so hard to teach you the method of shipbuilding, but I have harmed so many innocent water tribes. ”

As soon as the words came out, the villagers were stunned, and lost their voices: "Holy monk, you are obsessed, how can you say such unreliable words, the inspiration king is guilty of the same sky, and it is difficult to write, how can you be a god who has reduced us, such a statement is too incredible." ”

Sanzang waved his hand, and said in a solemn tone: "I'm not alarmist, just because you and other villagers are hungry for profit, blindly hunting and killing the river aquarium, even the little caviar fry don't let go, and finally provoked the wrath of the gods, and sent down the king of inspiration to save you, I don't want to be a hundred years old, you are still lost, unrepentant, it is really disappointing." ”

The villagers obviously had never heard such a unique word, and they were stunned for a long time, before someone asked weakly: "Holy monk, aren't those fish caught just for eating, the small ones can't be eaten, and no one wants to sell them, and the villagers such as me are in line with the principle of being diligent and thrifty, not extravagant and wasteful, chopping them up and feeding them to raise chickens and ducks, but it's not a big deal, how can we anger the gods and bring such a big disaster?"

Seeing that everyone nodded silently, Tang Sanzang closed his eyes slightly, and sighed: "The Buddha said that all living beings are equal, you pity the innocent child, but I don't know how many caviar fry have been caught by you and fed to chickens and ducks, how cruel it is? You must know that although the Inspiration King has left, the White Turtle is still there, if you want to exterminate the Water Tribe, you have to be careful not to anger the White Turtle, why did the pure and docile White Turtle two hundred years ago turn against the enemy Inspiration King, who helped drive him out of the Water Turtle, become so bloodthirsty and cruel, is because he finally understood the intention of the Inspiration King, and took pity on those innocent dead Water Tribes, so he did not hesitate to destroy his reputation and help the abuse. ”

The villagers couldn't help but shudder when they said this, and nodded their heads again and again: "What the holy monk said is not unreasonable, since this is the case, I can't go into the water to fish in the future, so wouldn't it be too wasteful to put this wide surface of the Tongtian River?"

Sanzang smiled when he heard this, waved his hand and said: "That's not the case, as long as you are no longer so greedy and insatiable, you can catch some of the water tribes that have grown up a little, dominate your life, and believe that people eat fish and meat, and natural selection, which is natural and deserved, and you will not be too harshly criticized." ”

As soon as the words came out, the old man who guarded the temple nodded again and again, and said happily and convincingly: "The holy monk enlightened, I waited for the villagers to understand the teaching, rest assured, we will live up to the high expectations of the holy monk, and put these admonitions into the ancestral hall together, as an ancestral precept to show future generations, and no longer like the ancestors who caught indiscriminately and fished with all their might." ”

Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, and clasped his palms together and said, "In this way, I thank you for the many water tribes in the river, and we can board the boat with peace of mind." ”
