"Well, there is some truth in that, just let the master lead the horse to walk, can you hold it?" Seeing the master's extremely limited physical strength, Wen Tianshu was quite worried.

"It's okay, it's hard to walk on the flat ground, let's walk slowly, just to get through our daughter's country smoothly. I don't need to lead the horse, just let Wukong lead it, I'll follow behind, the less noticeable the better. Tang Sanzang smiled and replied proudly.

At that moment, he took out the willow branch given by Guanyin from his arms and held it tightly in the palm of his hand, but when he saw the two of them looking at him and giggling non-stop, he couldn't help but be curious, and took off the Xuanguang mirror to take a closer look: what caught his eye was a yellow and thin face, thin eyebrows and squinting, which was indeed very inconspicuous, but the light head looked abrupt, somewhat nondescript. But this is not difficult for the eccentric Sanzang Master, I saw him snap his fingers leisurely, turned out a bamboo hat from his luggage, buckled it on the door of his head, and looked good, and with the single cloth monk's robe, he really looked like a nun with feet, so that the two apprentices could not help but sigh in their eyes.

Sun Wukong smiled, turned into a shrewd and thin middle-aged nun, and said a blessing to the two of them with eyebrows, causing the three of them to laugh non-stop, and you pushed me very eagerly.

Dressed up, the three masters and apprentices walked on the road and marched west along the mountain trail of the Xiliang Daughter Country. After walking about five miles, the three of them came to a small village, where the huts were dilapidated and dilapidated, gray and in disrepair, all of them sat on the bank of a small river, and a few small boats were docked on the river.

Tang Sanzang's face was solemn, and he reminded in a low voice: "Everyone, pay attention, if I remember correctly, the small river in front of me is the legendary Zimu River, remember, don't drink the water there, otherwise you will have to give birth to a baby." ”

Sun Wukong licked his lips and said with a cynical smile: "Master, the more you say that, the more my grandson can't help but want to taste the taste of the river, hehe, am I too cheap?"

Sanzang sneered when he heard this, and scolded with a smile: "Dead monkey, you have a lot to do, if you want to give birth to a big fat daughter, just go and drink, Lao Tzu won't stop you." ”

The monkey shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "Master, if I say this, don't take it seriously, if I am thirsty, I will eat the melons and fruits in my pocket, who rarely eats the raw water in the river, it is unsafe and unhygienic." ”

Sanzang breathed a sigh of relief and nodded: "Well, it's good if you think so, I'm afraid that as soon as your monkey nature comes up, the king of heaven and Lao Tzu won't be able to stop you." ”

The monkey smiled awkwardly, scratched his head and said: "Master really understands me, the more others don't let me do it, the more I can't help but do it, I am born to stab Lou Zi's temperament, I really can't control it if I really want to, okay, for the sake of my belly, my grandson will try to restrain it." ”

Although he said it was funny, Sanzang glanced at him angrily, and said disdainfully: "Dead monkey, there are many words for you, Lao Tzu has changed the time of these three or five hours, but you have to hurry up, do you see the thatched huts in front, I think they are all ferries in the river, go up and inquire, and call a woman to come and ferry us." ”

Wukong blinked his eyes, and said inexplicably: "Aren't they all captains, but where did they come from? Oh, by the way, this is a daughter country, and it's really not easy for women who can even use a boat to support their feelings, and it's just a matter of giving more money when the time comes." ”

"I knew it and said, why don't you get over and call the boat, it's really a woman, so verbose. Angry at his nonsense, Sanzang kicked him hatefully and chuckled.

The dead monkey screamed, and really rushed forward with a rolling belt, complaining as he ran: "Master, you better shut up, as soon as you open your mouth, it is a male voice, and it is so vulgar, it is really indecent, I am afraid that I will recognize it as soon as I enter the daughter country, but I must not affect us." still calls himself Lao Tzu, for your appearance, you should be said to be an old lady, and you haven't entered the drama yet. The monkey's funny words made Wen Tianshu unable to bear it any longer, holding his stomach and giggling.

Sun Wukong shrugged his shoulders, and when he approached the hut, he had returned to his seriousness, and shouted loudly towards the inside of the house: "Is there anyone, we are bhikshunis from the Tang Kingdom of Eastern Soil, and we have something to cross this small river, so please trouble which grandmother to come out for convenience." ”

This voice was crisp, it really seemed to be from a woman, Tang Sanzang was terrified when he heard it, and he couldn't help but secretly give a thumbs up, okay, the dead monkey will really come to trouble, it is more than enough for him to be a play.

As soon as the words fell, there was an answer from inside the door, and an old woman dressed as a fisherwoman came out of the curtain, who was close to the sixtieth birthday, with gray sideburns, and saw the three people in front of the door, and hurriedly gave her hands to greet her: "Yo, where is this nobleman, who actually crossed the 800-mile Tongtian River to my Xiliang Women's Country, there are monsters in the water, how did you come here?"

Sun Wukong's face was colorful, and he sneered: "There are indeed monsters, but they were taken away by Guanyin Bodhisattva of the South China Sea without fighting." ”

As soon as the words came out, the old woman covered her mouth and laughed: "You, a monk, really know how to speak, how can an ordinary person like you who has to rely on a boat to cross the river have great magic to see Guanyin Bodhisattva who purifies all living beings, it is really a big joke in the world." If you want to cross the river, it will not be difficult, so first take ten taels of silver out for the fare. ”

The monkey was shocked when he heard this, and blurted out exclaimed: "What, ten taels, where are you doing business, it is clearly to grab money, like this small river, my grandson can go over casually, how can it be ten taels, it is too dark, right? My grandson is playing mahjong all night, and when the limelight is not good, he may not earn ten taels of silver." ”

The old woman sneered, and said without raising her eyebrows: "This teacher, it seems that you really came from afar, and you don't know the market here." It's not that my wife intends to rip off customers, this is the rule set by the ancestors, but whoever wants to cross the river, if it is a man, depending on how much silver you give, we will reach out and take it, no two words, if the woman crosses the river, I can't help it, all ten taels, and don't let the price, don't believe it, go elsewhere to inquire and inquire, it is a unified price, and the child woman is not deceived. ”

"It's okay if Mrs. Shi wants to wade through the water, but this small river seems to be quite shallow, and the deep place can also flood people. This small river is called the Mother River, which is the mother river of my Xiliang daughter country, you must know that there are only women in our country for thousands of years, and there has never been a man, it stands to reason that it is impossible to continue the incense, and it is also the country of my daughter who will not die, I don't know who broke the dumb riddle in this plate, as long as people drink the water in this river, within a few hours, they can give birth to children, if not, my daughter country does not use external forces, only after a hundred and eighty years, people are dead, and the country will perish. Therefore, if a mortal does not want to have a child, it still takes courage to cross this seemingly shallow and short river of children and mothers, after all, crossing the river is not like walking normally, and he will choke some water into his mouth. ”

The monkey was shocked when he heard this, and thought that the old woman was trying to make money, so he deceived himself with his conscience, but he saw that her face was solemn, not like she was lying, and remembered the master's previous earnest teachings, and knew that this thing was true, so she only sighed and said: "Yes, your daughter's country is really patriarchal, and she dares to ask for ten taels of silver when she crosses the river, and she doesn't make him a lot of money?"

The old woman shook her head, sighed and said: "Mrs., these are just appearances, how can it be as simple as you said, our daughter country has never been accessible to outsiders, like an old body's age, and I only met you this time, usually fishing for a living, saving a few small money to make a living, otherwise, I am a lot older, how can I still come out to beg for a living?"

Hearing what the old woman said sourly, Wen Tianshu couldn't help but feel pity, nodded and said: "Life is indeed not easy in the world, yes, anyway, we have to cross the river, whose business is not to do, just charter your boat, and let us get on the road quickly." ”

The old woman was overjoyed when she heard this, and hurriedly thanked her: "Thank you very much, this noble man is still bright, at first glance he is a rich and noble person, as beautiful as you, and our queen is not far behind, as long as he enters the yamen, he will be recommended by others, and Guan Bao can be promoted to the position of Dazai." ”

People like to be flattered, especially beautiful women are more looking forward to being praised for their beauty, the old woman's sycophant is scratched the itch, Wen Tianshu couldn't suppress the ecstasy in his heart, and laughed so much that his mouth couldn't close: "I don't like to be an official, I just want to accompany the master to the west to take the true scriptures, and it is good to be unrestrained." ”
