Chapter 80: On the banks of the Blackwater River
On the way back, Bajie couldn't hold back the question mark of the boss in his heart, and said with a shy face: "Tianshu, the red boy is the big devil who abuses and kills women, and legend has it that no woman can leave the Huoyun Cave, but he seems to have a soft spot for you, and he swears to marry you, which is too strange?"
Tianshu smiled faintly and said casually: "Second Senior Brother, the red boy is kind-natured, so he is not as unbearable as you said, in fact, I didn't do anything, I just cooked him a meal." ”
Wujing was shocked when he heard this, and said in shock: "What, just settle the red boy with a meal, this is too simple, right?"
"Hehe, it's that simple, in fact, the red boy is quite pitiful, it's not easy to live alone in this mountain and bamboo stream, and his father doesn't teach his mother to raise it. You said that he was a little kid and what his family could cook, and they all ate raw meat for 200 years, and as soon as I made a move, I treated him well. Tianshu shook his head slightly and explained leisurely.
Sun Wukong thought so, nodded and sighed: "Yes, the grace of a meal should be reciprocated by a spring, and this kind of thing is indeed there." I think that my grandson was pressed under Wuzhi Mountain, drinking copper juice and eating iron, who can give me a meal of mountain peaches, I will be grateful, but this is a bit exaggerated. ”
Tianshu shook his head and smiled bitterly when he heard this, and shrugged his shoulders helplessly: "Senior brother, don't be sarcastic about me, the red boy has a young heart, and he has no taboo words, even if he really has this heart, I can't eat this tender grass." In fact, the red boy has been lonely for two hundred years, unable to take care of himself, and all he needs is a mother who can take care of his diet and daily life, not a lady. I believe that in a few years, when the red boy grows up and understands what is the **** between men and women, he may not remember me for a long time, and he may feel ridiculous about today's decision. ”
Bajie nodded, and said quietly: "Yes, time has passed, the vicissitudes of life, who can really remember and adhere to the decision when he was young." Alas, the even young birds don't come back, hey, hey. ”
As soon as such a nonsensical song came out, everyone laughed, and immediately put their shoulders on their backs and strode forward to find the master.
After returning to the col, Wukong briefly reported to the master how Guanyin had subdued the Red Child, and said that Guanyin was very tactfully reminded that they could extract the Red Child's blood at any time because of the Red Child's presence.
Hearing the news, Tang Sanzang was greatly excited, Guanyin really did what he said, lived up to the appointment the day before yesterday, for today's plan, we just need to find Xiuning as soon as possible. So, the master gave an order, and the brothers raised their arms and shouted, quickly pulled out, and strode forward on the West Heaven Avenue.
At this moment, it is the June season, the weather is hot, there is only one month left before the corpse worm in Gao Xiuning's body breaks the cocoon, and the Sanzang Army still has no disappearance about Xiuning, so anxious that they are so anxious that they are rushing towards the west sky, even if the sun is scorching, they can't take care of it, they still sweat and rush day and night, even Tang Sanzang, who is riding on a horse and pampered and pampered, can't help but lose a few points, let alone others.
On this day, the master and apprentice came to a riverbank, looking at the big river from afar, it was really a magnificent scenery, the territory was vast, the big waves washed the sand, the waves crashed on the shore, but the river water was really dirty, black and shining, looking from afar, it was really like someone's dye vat was broken.
Tang Sanzang's heart was shocked when he saw this, and he warned: "Damn, look at this river, shouldn't we be to the Heishui River, apprentices, be careful, there are monsters under this water." ”
Looking at the river, Sun Wukong nodded and muttered: "Master is right, I see that this river is indeed strange, it is not black, but it looks like a piece of black amber." ”
Bajie smiled and echoed: "Brother Monkey described it appropriately, but my old pig looks like a big piece of turtle jelly, which arouses my appetite." ”
Hearing this, Wujing disdainfully said: "The second senior brother is really too bowed, this water is as dirty as the footwashing water that has been used ten times, and you think of it as turtle jelly, I said that it is so dirty, you can eat it?"
Bajie spat disgustingly, and scolded repeatedly: "Lao Sha, you are a crow's mouth, you will die if you say something nice, my old pig has been working hard recently, and it is easy to imagine the beautiful picture of turtle jelly, but I was disturbed by your words, and my bile is disgusting, how do you compensate?"
Seeing that these people looked improper, Wen Tianshu laughed and said: "What do you two think, Master said that there are monsters, why are they all like no one, and they don't have a sense of crisis at all." ”
Sanzang waved his hand and sighed: "Tianshu, don't blame them, these days are like playing with their lives, and it's really rare that they are still in the mood to have fun." Actually, I can't remember what kind of monster this is, so it's not a powerful character. ”
Wujing stared at his eyes and asked a very standard question: "If there are monsters in this water, how can we cross the river?"
Tang Sanzang thought so, and muttered: "Yes, this is a problem, if there are monsters out to make trouble when crossing the river, it will be difficult for the boat to turn over on its back, and Tang Seng did not suffer this loss in the original book." This mage doesn't have to fight that uncertain battle, he has to think of a way to come out once and for all. ”
Sun Wukong waved his hand and coaxed with disdain: "Master, you are too indecisive, what can you do to fight once and for all, just start fighting, and finish that monster, is there a more efficient way than this?"
"Monkey, this method is really good, but do you kid know how to fight in the water?" Tang Sanzang nodded, and said a word slowly, almost choking the monkey to death.
Seeing that the master questioned his ability again, Wukong was extremely sweaty, and only sighed depressedly and said: "Then let Bajie and Wujing go into the water, lure that monster ashore, and this great sage will solve him." ”
Unexpectedly, as soon as these words came out, the two of Bajie shook their heads like rattles, and refused in unison: "No, you monkey is clever, you don't know how to water, but you trick us down, it's really cunning." You don't want to think about this black water, can it be under people, in fact, it doesn't matter if it's dirty, the key is that this black water is impermeable, visibility is too low, even if it goes down, it's a black light, the path is not familiar, where do you let us go, if you don't do it, you will be ambushed by the monster, and you don't know how to die, don't go, resolutely don't go. ”
The monkey was embarrassed when he heard this, and said weakly: "This is really difficult for the two virtuous brothers, but as the saying goes, raising soldiers for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you don't go, I don't go, but who wants to go down to catch that monster, is it difficult to wait on this shore for ten or eight years, and wait for that monster to die, hey, aren't we in a hurry to find Xiuning, can't we wait?"
These words hit Bajie's weakness, and the old pig's eyes were red at the moment, and he turned around and was about to jump into the black water.
Wujing was so anxious that he hugged his waist and shouted: "Second senior brother, come slowly, listen to my Lao Sha finish speaking, I heard that the senior brother's Ruyi golden hoop stick weighs 13,500 catties, and I haven't seen it." According to my Lao Sha's words, as long as the senior brother takes this stick and stirs it into the water, it doesn't stir him upside down, and the earth shakes, and then the monster can't help shaking, and he can't jump out of the water to fight with us, hehe, with the ability of the three of us, fight a monster that jumps out of the water, not a hammer to hit a turtle, one by one?"
As soon as the words came out, Bajie, who was struggling desperately, suddenly stopped his movements, his eyes lit up when he heard it, and he applauded loudly: "Damn, why didn't I think of this layer of my old pig, Wujing, you have been a lot smarter recently, this is really a wise man's thousand worries must have a loss, and a fool's thousand worries must have a gain." ”
Tang Sanzang laughed, snapped his fingers leisurely and said: "Bajie, the teacher has repeatedly warned you not to be impulsive when you encounter problems, and use your brains to think about how to obtain the greatest benefits at the lowest cost, this is the way to go." You see that Wujing's method is really wonderful, Wukong, you can implement it according to this method. I said that everyone should be smart, and when the monster jumps out of the water, I will go up and surround him, make sure that he doesn't have the slightest chance to escape back into the water, and we will try to solve the monster at once, if he is back in the water, it will not be so easy to clean up. ”
Hearing this, the disciples made a promise in unison, each holding a weapon, and waited for the battle, Sun Wukong smiled, took out an embroidery needle-sized Ruyi golden hoop stick from his ear, shook it vigorously, and became the size of a heavenly pillar, he grabbed the end of the stick, and inserted it straight into the Heishui River, and stirred it vigorously with the eager shouts of all the junior disciples.
Under the rapid stirring of the golden hoop rod, a huge whirlpool rolled up in the originally calm Heishui River, and for a while, the water was turbulent, and the waves crashed on the shore. This kind of water potential can make everyone on the ground a little dazzled, not to mention the water tribe in the black water river, how much they should suffer.
