Chapter Seventy-One: Nanmu Scabbard

Following the direction of the monkey's finger, Tang Sanzang was surprised to find that behind the pile of ordinary gold and silver utensils, there were also a bunch of jade antiques of the same height, the number of which could also be hundred, and all of them were exquisitely carved, with clear textures and flowers.

Seeing that the master was stunned, Sun Wukong was secretly amused, cleared his throat and showed off his erudition and said: "According to the routine of burial, although there are many objects to be buried after the death of the Son of Heaven, it is generally only filled with the coffin containing the body. ”

Hearing this, Sanzang closed his eyes faintly, and was silent for a moment before he spoke: "Her Majesty's body has been burned at this moment, I knew that there were so many funeral goods, and I picked out two of them to accompany her, and it was not a disadvantage to her." ”

Seeing that the master, who was usually extremely slamming and unstoppable, actually said such words, Sha Wujing was quite surprised, and reminded innocently: "When did Master become so generous, I think these pieces are peerless treasures, each one may be worth tens of thousands of taels of silver, if you burn two pieces, can you give it?"

As soon as he heard that these treasures were so valuable, Tang Sanzang immediately felt a pain in his flesh, and replied vigilantly: "Ya, I'll just say it casually, don't take it seriously, I usually hate those who advocate thick burials the most, you said that people are already dead, and they also looted those people's fat and people's ointment not for the living, but they were buried in a dark grave for the dead to be buried, which is too extravagant and wasteful." ”

"It's just that although Her Majesty and I have never known each other all my life, I don't know how I always have a trace of sympathy and regret for what happened to her, so I have said so many words against my will, and if you don't count them, you must not take them seriously, with so many gold and silver treasures, we can use them to help those poor people and create boundless blessings, why not? Okay, okay, it's the middle of the night, but you are all quick with your hands and feet, and you can collect these treasures and antiques alive, and you can all work hard, and you can go back to sleep and recover some physical strength. ”

Wukong laughed when he heard this, and energetically lifted a half-meter-long log from behind his back and put it in front of the master, and said with a proud face: "Master, don't be busy first, but my grandson got a good thing from the funeral goods and took it to Bajie." ”

Tang Sanzang looked at this half of the wood with a confused expression, and said with doubts: "Good girl, what is so special about this piece of wood, it is worthy of your attention, could it be that Bajie injured his knee, do you want to use it as a crutch?"

Wukong waved his hand again and again after hearing this, pretending to be mysterious, and said inscrutablely: "Don't ask first, when we get to the front of Bajie, my grandson will explain, otherwise I will have to spend a lot of time talking about it, wouldn't it be troublesome?"

Sanzang couldn't, so he had to leave Ao Bai and Wujing to pack the treasures, and follow Wukong into the Linglong Pavilion to visit Bajie.

The two of them entered the room, only to see the old pig lying on his back on the bed, his legs were hung up by strips of cloth, and the pain of the wound had not stopped, and he was humming high and low there, but the voice was not as high-pitched as before, and it seemed very rhythmless.

The monkey couldn't help but smile and teased: "This pig's head, I think the pain of the wound has weakened, and such a terrible scream has turned into a hum, and it has a tendency to improve." ”

Hearing the monkey speak, Bajie raised his head very reluctantly, and snorted: "It's a shame that you two still have some conscience, and you left my old pig alone in the room, and it took so long before you came to see me." If you want the pain to be lessened, I want to be early, I have been screaming for so long, not only am I tired, but I am also a little hungry, so I hum high and low like this, vent my emotions, Master, Master, it's not dawn yet, when will you start eating?"

Sanzang nodded when he heard this, and admitted: "Yes, everyone has been busy all night, it's time to be hungry, you just wait a minute, and go over to fry a few good dishes for the teacher." ”

Seeing that the monkey didn't go out of the room with the master, Bajie was very surprised, and wondered: "You monkey doesn't have much sitting, why is the master gone, but you stay to take care of my old pig, what's the reason?"

The monkey smiled cheaply when he heard this, and teased with a strange expression: "My old grandson is well-intentioned, but you suspect my intentions, and there is no reason for it, if you are so attentive, this great sage will leave immediately, and I will treat it as if I have never been here." ”

At this time, the old pig has aroused his curiosity, and he chirped: "The stinky monkey is still like this, and it can't be questioned by people at all, and my old pig's wound is still painful at the moment, just to talk to me and distract some attention." ”

Only then did the monkey turn around and say seriously: "My grandson only sees that you are injured and doesn't come to worry about you, do you guess what we will find out from their tents after we put out the fire and burned these monsters this time?"

The old pig's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he smiled hesitantly: "I think it's some gold and silver treasures, all of which are the habits of the North Sea iguana, and I have always known it." ”

A trace of surprise flashed in the monkey's eyes, and he nodded: "Well, you have some knowledge, not only that, but also found the funeral goods brought by the queen, all of which are from the inner courtyard of the palace, all of them are treasures, and they are priceless. ”

Bajie was full of salivation when he heard this, and said with a smile: "But it's still Brother Monkey who is righteous, thinking about my old pig, and he is very moved, dare to ask what kind of treasure it is, quickly take it out and let me open my eyes." ”

The monkey was very proud when he heard this, and with a hand he scooped out the half of the log from behind him, and shook it in front of the old pig as if he were ostentatious.

The old pig was very surprised, his face full of joy was suddenly cloudy, he gritted his teeth, and said angrily: "This monkey is not at all kind, what is the use of taking this broken piece of wood, ah, I know, you see that my old pig is injured, and specially use this wood to tease me, and want me to use it as a crutch to walk, thank you, my old pig will survive the pain of three days and three nights, and he will not use it if he is injured in his knee and reluctantly walks." ”

The monkey had a hot face on the cold buttocks, and couldn't help but feel very depressed, but because the old pig was injured, he couldn't bear it and said: "You can't open your eyes with this pig's head, but you really wronged my grandson, you take a closer look at this wood, texture, but the ordinary wood, it turned out to be a cut of Jin Sinan, so it has been put for a hundred years, and it has not been damaged by half a point." ”

When the old pig heard the benefit, he stood up again, full of joy, and salivated at the corner of his mouth: "In this case, is it a valuable one?"

The monkey listened with disdain on his face, shrugged his shoulders and said: "If it is a whole golden silk nanmu, it must be worth a few thousand taels of silver, only a small half of this small one, maybe not worth a few dollars, and there are a lot of rare antiques over there, if my grandson wants to pick a valuable one, he will definitely not choose this half of the wood." ”

Bajie suddenly glared, and said inexplicably: "Since this is the case, what are you doing with it, isn't it to ridicule my old pig?"

The monkey smiled, pretending to be mysterious: "Think about you, the stinky pig's head with an open eye for money, how can you know the mystery of this, this piece of golden silk nanmu is very hard in texture, and the iron and stone are difficult to wear, so it should be more than enough to make a scabbard for your two swords." ”

Bajie was dizzy when he heard this, and said depressedly: "Ya, other people put their swords in the scabbard, and the old pig has a hard life, but there are these two peerless swords but with a piece of wood, it is too much to lose, and if this wood is really so hard, how did this half of it be cut down?"

The monkey laughed when he heard this, and teased: "My old grandson is also for the sake of you, a pig's head, who made your two swords very sharp, if they are ordinary mortal iron, but how can they match, they have to be stirred in half by the sword." ”

Bajie didn't feel that he sighed, and said aggrievedly: "You are also telling the truth, since this is the case, my old pig reluctantly accepted this piece of wood, I am afraid that I will insult such a sword." ”

"Brother Monkey, you said that this daughter is also very boring, and she has nothing to put any wood in the coffin, but what can she do?"

The monkey couldn't help laughing, waved his hand and said, "I don't say it, I don't say it, I'm afraid that if I say it, you pig's head won't do anything." ”

Seeing that the monkey actually sold the guanzi in this interest, the old pig couldn't help but be annoyed, and said hatefully: "The stinky monkey can talk as much as he can, not half a serious sentence, if you don't make it clear, my old pig really doesn't dare to use it, who knows that the subjects of the daughter country have nothing to put this wood in the coffin, whether it is a pillow or a foot pad, this thing is not only panicked, but also quite unlucky, isn't it?"

Wukong laughed when he heard it, and said with admiration: "Wonderful, I really let you say it, this wood is not for the queen's feet, but it is used for pillows, commonly known as sleepers, which is to use the characteristics of this wood, not only to prevent insects, but also to embalming, to keep the body from bad for a hundred years." ”

"But you don't have to be so taboo, the queen has been reincarnated two hundred years ago, not only is it not necessarily bad luck at this moment, but she also leaves some women's incense for you, isn't it a great thing?"

The old pig smiled happily when he heard this, and praised it repeatedly: "What Brother Monkey said is very true, and it is a loss that you think so thoroughly, so my old pig reluctantly accepted this, this treasure, my old pig's knee was injured and couldn't move, and I asked Brother Monkey to help, and took the two swords behind the door, went to the cloth strip on it, and inserted it in the wood to see if this golden silk nanmu is really as hard as the legend, and can stand the edge of this peerless sword." ”
