Chapter 157: Corpses Everywhere
Bajie was silent for a long time when he heard this, and sighed: "It is true that the master has suffered, but we must find Xiuning before the outbreak of corpse insects, time is running out, if we don't hurry, it will really be too late." ”
As soon as Xiuning was mentioned, Sanzang suddenly got stuck, nodded silently and sighed, and said with empathy: "Bajie, you are right, even if it is for Xiuning, I have to grit my teeth and insist, isn't it just a day and a half, it's really not a big deal." But are you sure you want to travel overnight, in this dark and windy glacier snow with no fingers in sight?"
Bajie smiled, shook his head and said: "Master, you are really sleepy, even our powerful magic weapon Xuanguang Mirror has been left behind, with this magic weapon to escort, wouldn't it be easy to travel at night?"
Sanzang couldn't help but be overjoyed, nodded and exclaimed: "Yes, yes, yes, how did I forget this stubble, it was really a concussion." But I don't want Wukong to feed me, this monkey is hairy, where is the master who serves people, I have to ask Tianshu to come out to call my heart. ”
At this time, Wen Tianshu, who was sitting in front of the sled, chuckled and said with a little regret: "Master, I also want to help with this, but I can't, in order to ensure the safety of the road, I must always pay attention to the road ahead, and if there are big rocks like the one before, I have to change the direction with trekking poles in time to be safe." ”
Sanzang sighed helplessly, and scolded: "Damn, even such a small request can't be realized, it's really a disappointment, in this case, Ao Bai, you will sing a song to relieve the boredom of the journey." ”
Ao Bai shrugged his shoulders unusually innocently, and said with a wry smile: "Master, this can't be either, my singing voice is too loud, in case the snow on the snow peak is shaken down and an avalanche is triggered, we still have to walk around without eating?"
At this time, Tang Sanzang was completely speechless, and only roared hatefully: "Damn, this evil Snow Mountain is really Lao Tzu's nemesis." Since this is the case, Lao Tzu has no choice but to compromise and let the dead monkey feed me, just ask you to hurry up, Lao Tzu will be hungry. ”
The monkey smiled and said, "Master, don't worry, the food has already been prepared, as long as you open your mouth, you can immediately send it to your mouth, and it doesn't take any effort at all." ”
Sanzang was very satisfied when he heard this, nodded and exclaimed: "Dead monkey, you are indeed extraordinary, on this sleigh that is speeding at full speed, so that the teacher is not aware at all, so he tied a few ropes and put two futons, so that the teacher can avoid the suffering of cold, and he should be the first to do it." ”
Hearing the ridicule in Master's words, Sun Wukong smiled awkwardly, and said proudly: "Master, you are too underestimated to me, my old grandson is a dignified Monkey King, if you can't even do this little thing, wouldn't it be a waste of fame, just a light finger, and it will be all done." ”
Angry at the monkey's arrogance, Tang Sanzang pulled a sneer at the corner of his mouth, and said with great disdain: "Dead monkey, you don't brag, if you are really capable, you can level the six hundred miles of snowy mountains with one finger, and save yourself such suffering as a teacher." ”
The monkey couldn't help but be moved, and said in a cold sweat: "Master, your requirements are too high, with such a creation, it has to be a character like the Buddha, but my grandson is absolutely unattainable." It's a pity how unfortunate the daughter is, trapped between the eight hundred miles of the Heavenly River and the six hundred miles of snowy mountains, if you want to get out of it, it is really difficult to climb to the sky, if you change to my grandson sitting trapped here, I will really be so aggrieved that I will go crazy. ”
Bajie smiled when he heard this, and teased: "Monkey, you don't have to laugh at fifty steps and a hundred steps, when you were slapped by the Buddha and pressed under the Five Fingers Mountain, you couldn't turn your body, you couldn't stretch your waist, and your situation may not be as good as your daughter's countrymen, how can you laugh at them?"
Seeing that the monkey's face was red and he looked like he was crazy about devouring people, the old pig couldn't help but be afraid, and hurriedly said: "You don't want to laugh at them, but it's hard for your daughter to be trapped here, and you don't suffer for it, but you work hard to make the country prosperous, and you can create such a prosperous and prosperous country, which is rare." ”
Tang Sanzang blinked his eyes and said disapprerovingly: "You are not them, how can you understand their suffering, if you are really content with the status quo and do not suffer from it, how can there be so many women who have come to this six-hundred-mile snow-capped mountain at the risk of death, wanting to seek a way to liberation? ”
"Now that the curse has been lifted, the influx of human races, and the harmony of yin and yang, it has also brought about many bad habits in the foreign world, and social relations are becoming more and more complex, people's minds are changing, and good and evil intersect, what kind of impact and consequences will be produced, which really worries me a little. ”
As soon as the words came out, all the disciples fell to the ground, nodded and exclaimed: "Master, your insights are profound and unique, and it really makes me feel refreshed, but everyone in the world has the blessings of the world, and you don't have to worry too much." ”
Sanzang sighed unconsciously, and said unusually sadly: "Yes, the blessings and misfortunes are all other people's affairs, even if I break my heart, it is in vain, it's just the generation of such a social pattern as the daughter country, and my Sanzang army has played a role in fueling the flames, I just hope that future generations will not scold me." ”
Bajie listened very impatiently, waved his hand and said: "Master, you are too twisted, we have passed the Xiliang daughter country, whether we are scolding or boasting, and it is up to them, we can't hear it, what do you care about your mother?"
Sanzang was amazed when he heard this, nodded and said: "Although your pig's head is vulgar, after all, it is reasonable, let's hurry up and get to the ground, dead monkey, is the meal ready, don't you see that Lao Tzu hasn't eaten for a day?"
Hearing this, the monkey hurriedly replied, "Master, the meal has already been prepared, and you can take care of as much as you want." ”
Sanzang smacked his lips comfortably, and said with great satisfaction: "Look at the monkey is so diligent, it really has a bit of a running posture, but before that, I have to make it convenient first, you won't really let Lao Tzu sprinkle in the crotch of your pants, this is not only embarrassing, this ice and snow, won't you freeze Lao Tzu out of the cold?"
When Wukong heard the cold sweat, he was extremely frightened and said, "Why don't you use a basin to catch it?"
Sanzang couldn't help but feel aggrieved, and said helplessly: "It seems that this can only be the case, but I have always been comfortable and used to it, and I can't tolerate anyone around, so you are not allowed to peek." ”
When the monkey heard this, he was anxious and said in embarrassment: "Damn, Lao Tzu's dignified Monkey King, why are you looking at that thing, aren't you afraid of nightmares at night?"
Wen Tianshu was the only one in the Sanzang Legion with a calm face, fiddling with the trekking poles in his hand, staring intently at the road ahead, listening to such an interesting conversation between the master and apprentice, and couldn't help but giggle.
In this way, the sleigh galloped all the way up the steep rocky cliffs, and in just two days, it was over the path that stretched for hundreds of miles. At this moment, what the Sanzang army stepped on was a vast and flat snowfield, but what made everyone stunned and unexpected was that Tang Sanzang was bound in the past two days, and when he stepped on the ground, his limbs were stiff, his back was bent, not only could he not walk, but he couldn't even ride a horse.
Everyone couldn't help but laugh and cry, so they only divided two people to carry the stretcher and put the master in it to ensure that the team could maintain a high speed.
Sanzang grabbed the corner of Wukong's clothes, burst into tears, and wept bitterly: "Wukong, is it possible that the teacher is crippled like this, and he can't stand up again?"
Seeing that the master was so decrepit, the monkey wanted to laugh but didn't dare to laugh, so he only held back his face and comforted him seriously: "Master, don't think nonsense, you have been tied up with a rope for a long time, and your blood is not smooth for a while, so you will have weakness in your limbs and can't stand up." After a few days, the blood is full, the limbs are smooth, and it will be restored, we are in a hurry, and we can't take care of you, so you lie on the stretcher, often try to turn your body, rub your hands, move your arms, and I believe that you will get better soon. ”
Sanzang nodded, relieved his mind slightly, and still said with palpitations: "Then when I get better, when I go down to the snow peak, can you not tie me with a rope?"
Wukong's face was full of embarrassment when he heard this, and he shook his head slightly: "This is not guaranteed, it depends on the degree of your cooperation, if you still shout and disturb the morale of the army like before, it is not ruled out that you will continue to take measures to tie up." ”
Sanzang couldn't help but blacken his eyes, and almost fainted: "Dead monkey, can't you comfort me first, if you want to tie it up like this again, you have to toss Lao Tzu to the ground?"
Bajie laughed when he heard this, and gloated: "Master, don't worry, even if Brother Monkey tosses you around, he has such a good means as Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he will definitely cure you." ”
Sanzang rolled his eyes when he heard this, and scolded weakly: "Dead pig's head, you can't expect me to be good, you have to curse me like this, bad people, you are all bad people." ”
As Wukong expected, after two or three days of recuperation, the blood in Sanzang's body was basically unblocked, and he was gradually able to stand and walk. He asked Ao Bai to turn into a white horse, wrapped the horse's hooves in cloth, and rode on horseback, so that he could move safely and smoothly on the icy and slippery snow.
In this way, the Sanzang army advanced at full speed, and it took only three or five days to complete this flat and vast ice-covered snow field, but some unfortunate events occurred on the way, which made the mood of the master and apprentice become heavy, and there were many pessimistic emotions about this unpredictable journey to the snow-capped mountains.
But in the short distance of nearly 100 miles, this desolate and barren snowfield was covered with the bodies of young women, most of whom were lying in the snow with their bodies clumped and face down. Due to the excellent effect of freezing, all parts of the body are well preserved, but the skin is so pale that it is almost transparent, which makes people know that they have been dead for a long time.
Judging from the corpses of the occasional young women with their faces facing upwards and their eyes filled with many emotions such as unwillingness, resentment, and helplessness, it can be judged that these women must have encountered some irresistible force on this flat and desolate snowy land, which prevented them from moving forward, and died unwillingly on this deserted snowfield.
