Chapter 130: The sky is full of gloomy clouds
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still bright, outside the west gate of the Imperial City of Baoxiang Kingdom, a group of people were full of luggage, reluctantly turned back and waved goodbye to the people behind them, this was the Sanzang Army and the two brothers of the Xue family who came to see them off.
His Majesty the King looked at the Sanzang Legion that had quietly left, with a reluctant face, and said: "Why don't the holy monks stay for a few more days, at least have breakfast before leaving, otherwise it will really seem that the city is not well treated." ”
Tang Sanzang held the reins and said with palpitations: "Your Majesty's kindness is appreciated by the poor monks, but the people of your country are too enthusiastic, I am afraid that if we don't leave now, we won't be able to leave when the time comes." ”
Xue Liancheng was stunned when he heard this, and looked at Xue Lianbi with doubts, and when Lianbi explained a little in his ear, he suddenly realized, and said with a relieved face: "The widow has not been able to experience the charm of the white horse in person, it is really a pity, after the holy monk obtains the true scriptures, he must remember to come back to see us, and when the time comes, my brothers will definitely govern the Treasure Elephant Kingdom more prosperous." ”
Tang Sanzang nodded, laughed and said: "Okay, well, I'm afraid that in a few years, Your Majesty will already be a father and have a full house of children and grandchildren, and you will have to treat us well when the time comes." ”
Xue Liancheng laughed heartily, and hugged his fists again and again: "It's easy to say, as long as the holy monk is willing to come, the door of my treasure elephant country will always be open for you. ”
Tang Sanzang raised his hand and raised his whip, and said with a chic smile: "Your Majesty, take care, the Sanzang Legion will say goodbye, and on the day we meet, don't forget today's agreement." ”
Under the instigation of the master, Ao Bai spread his hooves and ran quickly, humming and chirping: "Yes, yes, remember to prepare more white jade bananas for us to eat, hahaha." ”
Xue Lianbi seemed to hear Ao Bai's words, and said loudly: "White Horse Immortal, please rest assured, when that time comes, Lianbi will personally pick a basket full of white jade bananas to come to honor you, and you will sing a song for us at that time." ”
Ao Bai's face was red when he heard this, he looked up to the sky and hissed and ran wildly, and quickly disappeared into the eyes of everyone, and Wukong behind him shouted loudly: "Dead Xiaobai, why are you running so fast, my brother has so many bananas on his back, but he can't fly fast." ”
Sanzang looked back at him and said disdainfully: "Dead monkey, it's really stupid, such a big basket of bananas won't be put in the Linglong Pavilion, and it's not too tiring to carry it on your back." ”
The monkey hesitated when he heard this, and weakly explained: "Master, aren't I afraid that they will steal food, or it is safer to carry it on my back." ”
As soon as the monkey's words came out, he suddenly became the target of everyone, and the juniors and disciples were indignant, and shouted loudly: "Damn, you dead monkey, it's really too unrighteous, isn't it just a few baskets of white jade bananas, as for your Monkey King is willing to be a miser, if we don't carry it for you, you can get your master's invisibility spell tonight." ”
Sanzang squinted his eyes and smiled cheaply: "Yes, I just remembered this incident, dead monkey, your performance in the Treasure Elephant Country really makes me very dissatisfied, and you should be severely punished in order to calm the people's anger." Well, let me think about it, and I'll punish you for teaching me the Four Days of Invisibility Spell. ”
Hearing this, Sun Wukong howled loudly, looked at the juniors and disciples who looked up at the sky, and deeply regretted his unwise actions, turned around at the moment, and begged for mercy from the master with a sneer: "Master, Master, my old grandson has admitted it, just three baskets of white jade bananas, please smile." ”
Seeing that the monkey knew the current affairs so well, Sanzang couldn't help laughing: "Okay, good, it's really worthy of the Monkey King, it's really very courageous, I accept this condition." Oops, there are so many white jade bananas, how can you eat them all by yourself, everyone usually works hard, so let's take them all and divide them. ”
As soon as the words came out, the apprentices' eyes lit up one by one, and they looked at the master Tang Sanzang on horseback with a calm face full of suspicion, and their hearts were extremely frightened, they really couldn't imagine that the master, who was extremely picky and didn't come out of the oil and salt on weekdays, was now so generous, and such a huge change would inevitably make people a little apprehensive. Therefore, the shrewd person who is as shrewd as the Eight Precepts still feels that something is wrong, and cautiously asks, "Master, are there really no conditions for you to do this?" The brothers nodded in unison when they heard this, and looked at the master with a nervous expression.
Tang Sanzang sighed dejectedly, and roared depressedly: "Death Bajie, you really live the belly of a gentleman with the heart of a villain, you kid ask yourself, how do you treat you as a teacher on weekdays, how can you bear to look at the master with this kind of eyes, it really hurts my heart." ”
When the archmage said that later, he was so angry that he beat his chest with his fist, and he felt very painful and felt that he had vented his hatred with death, and the old pig's eyes were watery, and he knew that he had blamed the master, and he had the urge to commit suicide to thank the master.
Tang Sanzang's words changed, and he sighed: "Actually, there is really a reluctant request for the master, saying that the master and I have been practicing the stealth technique for so long, how much manpower, material resources, energy and feelings have been spent, but it is not effective." For this reason, I feel uneasy, if the enemy comes on a large scale, you will not only be tired of coping, but also distracted to protect me, it is too hard, so I wonder if you can pass on some immortal qi to me, so as to help me achieve the great road as soon as possible. ”
At this time, the honest Sha Wujing was stretching out his hand to the white jade banana, but he didn't expect the master to really talk about the conditions, so he was immediately shocked, and quickly threw away the banana in his hand, and raised his hand in the air to show his innocence.
Seeing this, Sanzang smiled bitterly, immediately got off the horse and picked up the banana, gently stuffed it into Wujing's hand, and said dejectedly: "Wujing, you are really cowardly, what's the big deal about eating a banana, is it really so terrible that the master scares you all like this, it's too exaggerated, right?"
Wujing sweated and glared at the master, shook his head busily, and couldn't help but nod, making Sanzang feel a little unhappy at the same time.
Worried that Wujing would say the wrong thing, Sun Wukong smiled and took over the conversation: "Master, your method of transmitting immortal qi is really unheard of by my old grandson, and I am afraid that no one in the Three Realms will use it." The method of true qi is born in the dantian and spreads to the whole body, it is the method of one's own practice, how can there be a reason to use it for oneself by all outsiders? The art of stealth originates from Taoism, if the master sincerely wants to practice, he might as well ask Taishang Laojun for advice, maybe his old man has a way to help the master get his wish. ”
Sanzang listened to Wukong's explanation very carefully, nodded his head, and said after a long silence: "Wukong, you are very reasonable, I will ask Taishang Laojun for advice when I have the opportunity." ”
As soon as the words came out, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be overjoyed, and danced with his hands: "Master, that means that you don't practice stealth anymore before this?" Haha, it's really good, Master, don't you know, how tormenting it is for you to practice stealth, my grandson is worried all day long, I haven't concentrated on playing mahjong for a long time, isn't this all lost to Wujing, this stupid guy, it's enough to think about it." ”
Bajie and Ao Bai couldn't help nodding their heads, with deep sympathy on their faces, and the three of them suddenly saw Sanzang's increasingly gloomy face, and couldn't help but be shocked, and an extremely ominous premonition slowly rose in their hearts.
Sure enough, as expected, Tang Sanzang, who has always been narrow-minded, heard this, and couldn't help but be furious, and shouted: "Damn, you guys, you guys think so beautifully, Uncle Ben hasn't practiced the invisibility spell for a day, you all accompany me to practice, no one wants to run away, want to play mahjong, wait for the next life." ”
Looking at Tang Sanzang, who was hideous and frenzied, the apprentices screamed one by one, and turned around one after another to hug their heads and scurry, such an embarrassing scene is really funny, if everyone in the Treasure Elephant Kingdom sees it, I am afraid that they will really laugh off their big teeth.
Sha Wujing looked at the master with an innocent face, and begged in a wailing voice: "Master, can I still eat this white jade banana?"
As soon as he heard this, Tang Sanzang couldn't cry or laugh, he only felt that his anger disappeared without a trace in an instant, he looked up at the disciples with nervous faces in shock, and couldn't help but secretly shake his head, and apologized dejectedly: "Apprentice, the master is useless, and he can't practice the stealth technique and blame you, it's really decaying." Forget it, I don't practice that thing anymore, this kind of thing can't be forced to come by understanding, I have that idle time, it's better to play mahjong and be at ease. ”
Sun Wukong breathed a long sigh of relief, and comforted him: "Master, it's great that you can think like this, to be honest, we are really a little worried these days, for fear that you will go crazy." Actually, it is our duty as disciples to protect Master, so you don't have to take the risk of practicing, Master. Don't worry, we've been working hard to cultivate combat power lately, and whoever wants to snatch you away from us will have to pay a price. ”
Sanzang was relieved when he heard this, and sighed with great excitement in his heart, it seems that the apprentices still care about Lao Tzu, and I can't keep pulling their hind legs, I still have to hurry up and practice stealth well. But when he thought of his cultivation realm without any fingers, the archmage couldn't help but feel crazy again.
In an instant, the master and apprentice got back together, eating white jade bananas together, and rushing forward with a grin, but such a cheerful atmosphere didn't last long, because they all thought of it, somewhere in the distance, Gao Xiuning, who was trekking alone and alone, and what came to everyone's hearts at this moment was such a faint and bitter sorrow.
Bajie's eyes were full of tears, and with a long sigh, Wukong patted him on the shoulder and nodded to him with a smile. Bajie replied with a faint wry smile, after all, it was difficult to let go of his heart, fifteen days had passed in a blink of an eye, and there were still three and a half months left, and he still didn't know where Xiuning was. Even if things were as Master expected, Xiuning was also traveling west with the goal of the Western Holy Realm, but after all, she was alone, her path was simple, and she walked relatively fast.
In contrast, because of Tang Sanzang's sky-high fat, the Sanzang Legion seems to be a big tree, there are many hardships and dangers along the way, demons are raging, and it can't be fast if you really want to, so whether you can catch up with Xiuning in four months, Bajie is still quite pessimistic in his heart. The old pig's eyes flashed with tears, and he prayed extremely sincerely in his heart, but he asked God to bless Xiuning, and for the sake of Xiuning who was alone and seriously ill, he would not embarrass this hard-working child anymore.
At that moment, there was a dense dark cloud above the head of the Sanzang Army, and in an instant they became silent and listless, and everyone drooped their heads one by one and hurried silently, making the air dull to the point of suffocation. At this moment, even Sha Wujing, who was slow to react, was keenly aware of the difference in everyone's style. Lao Sha patted his head, and he was also discouraged as if he was catching the trend, and sighed for a long time, which made everyone even more depressed and irritable.
