In the early morning of the next day, the sky was still bright, and there was a noise outside the door of the house, which alarmed the sleeping Sanzang Army, and everyone went out to take a look, but it turned out to be the third uncle and six aunts who had cowered all night last night, and they were now circling around the woman: one here helped tidy up the mourning hall and cleaned it; there comforted the woman in a low voice, and Lala was homely; a man who looked like an uncle was holding a kitchen knife to kill chickens and geese and cook food; a woman dressed as an aunt was cutting cloth and threads, sewing shrouds; and a few children were wearing linen and filial piety, crying and calling for souls。

Seeing the disdain in the eyes of the disciples, Tang Sanzang shook his head and said leisurely: "Apprentice, don't look down on them, don't blame them for not daring to take responsibility, everyone is afraid, they all want to protect their lives, like yesterday's situation, there are indeed few people who are willing to come out to take responsibility, since they can't beat it, they will leave it to be useful to do other things, such as coming over to help like now, isn't it good, this is the agility of the little people, the wisdom contained in it is not what you can imagine, you have to study hard." ”

"People are selfish, always take care of themselves before they think of others, this is human nature, don't blame them, in fact, people will be responsible, but some people take on a little more, some people take on a little less, you have to learn to be grateful, as long as you are sincerely responsible for you, you are good brothers. ”

"Like us, those who risk their lives to bear for them are naturally friends, but not all friends are willing to stick a knife in your ribs, and those who help you when you are in trouble are also friends. Because people are not omnipotent, not all problems can be borne by us alone, different friends have different roles, and sometimes we need people like them, seeing them so cold and warm, crying and keeping filial piety, is not what we can do, isn't it very good?" Hearing this, the apprentices couldn't stop nodding their heads and bowed their hands in unison.

At first glance, when I saw the Sanzang Army, everyone who was busy rushing forward rushed forward, kowtowed and thanked: "Thank you elders for guarding the villain's life last night, otherwise I'm afraid that we will follow in the footsteps of Ah Da, but Ah Da died too miserably, and I ask the holy monk to be merciful and accept the demon, to ensure the peace and health of my Wuji country, and to comfort the spirit of the sky. ”

Seeing the uniform posture of the villagers, Tang Sanzang was terrified, and hurriedly leaned over to help them up, waving his hand again and again: "You don't have to be like this, the monsters are miserable, and everyone will be punished, these are our duties as monks, and we really shouldn't receive this great gift." "Helplessly, everyone insisted on this, Sanzang helped this one, and knelt down another, so they worshipped them alive, and saw Wukong a few sincere fears, sweating, the people here are simple and honest, sincere and kind, Fang Cai's slander, I am really sorry for them.

An uncle stood up and said with a smile: "After sleeping for so long, the elders should be hungry too, we are about to have a banquet here, so everyone will gather at a table, and after eating, we will send Ah Da on the road." ”

Bajie smiled when he heard this, salivating and saying: "It's easy to say, I was in a hurry last night, I ate in a hurry, my old pig was really hungry, and I will be on the road when I am full." ”

Sanzang rolled his eyes angrily, and scolded hatefully: "Dead fat pig, I can't move my legs when I hear what I eat, do you know, this meal is called the Dead Banquet, and after eating, it is to send the dead to the end, we are still in a hurry, how can we have time?"

After hearing this, the uncle smiled and said: "The elders know a lot, it doesn't matter, our rules here are different from other places, after people die, there are outsiders present, you must invite them to eat, otherwise the soul of the deceased will not be able to go far, and you will not be able to join the rich and noble. ”

Seeing everyone's sincerity, Bajie nodded there again, Tang Sanzang sighed, and had to reluctantly agree: "Since this is the case, then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate, don't hide it from you, in fact, the poor monk has long been hungry, this will smell the smell of rice, and the mouth full of saliva will be swallowed in the stomach." ”

"Wonderful, what are you waiting for, hurry up and get seated, don't delay the hour. As soon as they heard this, the villagers were overjoyed, and invited the Sanzang army into the house one after another, cleared the table and set up stools, and served bowls and rice, which seemed to be very courteous.

"Everyone is really enthusiastic, but with all due respect to the poor monk, these boys eat a lot of food, and I am afraid that these meals will not be enough for them. Tang Sanzang laughed, full of teasing.

Bajie smiled when he heard this, and said: "Master, you are too bad for your apprentices, and you have to say something that you don't like, but it's also true, since you want to eat, you have to eat it, so let my old pig go with Brother Monkey to hunt some game and talk about the hearts of the guests." Haha, I haven't exercised for a long time, my body is almost rusty, and I should go out for activities, but you can eat slowly and leave more food for my old pig. ”

Before he finished speaking, the old pig dragged the monkey and fell to the clouds, and hurried away with his sleeve robe, so powerful that the people in the room were terrified, trembling all over, and almost knelt down and kowtowed again.

Not long after, Wukong and Bajie flew back with a full body of game, and the people in the black chicken country were dumbfounded, look at this cluster of pheasants, all of them look similar to ostriches, a big wild boar, several feet tall, weighing more than a thousand catties, this alone is enough for everyone to eat for three or five days, and piles of mountain peaches, ducks and pears, lychee oranges, splendid clusters, wonderful fragrance, dazzling to see everyone, dizzying, admired, God, so many things, just the two of them carried back, it is really divine power.

After this episode, the originally miserable funeral seat suddenly became lively, and everyone sat in groups, talking and laughing and eating. The amount of food of the Bajie people is really not covered, they are not picky eaters, and they are stuffed into their mouths full of plates and bowls, and everyone who is accompanying them is stunned, and they sigh secretly, this is the uncle who is busy stir-frying, this side of the dish has not yet been cooked, and the other side is shouting that it is finished, thanks to the help of the holy monk and Tianshu, the problem has been solved.

Full of wine and food, the brothers patted their drumming stomachs, and saluted everyone with haha, but they were about to go on the road, so annoyed that Tang Sanzang gritted his steel teeth and scolded: "Damn, you are full, Lao Tzu and Tianshu haven't moved chopsticks yet, they have been with Lao Tzu for so long, why do they still don't know how to be polite?" Go to the back room to help clean up things, leave the few pheasants that were not killed to Sister-in-law, and then go to the backyard to plow two acres of land and plant crops, so that she can have a livelihood in the future." This affection was so moved that Mrs. A wiped her tears and thanked her, and she gave up again and again.

Ploughing two acres of land, for Bajie, who was used to doing crop work, was a piece of cake, the old pig carried the nail rake with disdain, and went into the backyard without saying a word, and it was a post-dinner exercise.

Sanzang sat at the table to eat, and heard the sound of color outside the door of the house, and after a while, Bajie carried a nail rake, whistled back to report, and the plough was finished, and the holy monk was stunned, and blurted out: "Damn, this is two acres of land, and the plough is finished so quickly, Bajie, you are really a god." ”

"That's, Master, I think when my old pig was my son-in-law in Gao Laozhuang, the people were thin, and all the work in the field belonged to me, don't you know, half of Gao Laozhuang's thousand-time assets were earned by my old pig. Having said this, the old pig was triumphant and proud, but when he thought of Xiuning, he couldn't help but feel sad in his heart.

Sanzang also finished eating, got up and patted Bajie, and then said goodbye to the villagers: "Everyone, the Sanzang army has a lot of trouble, and the heart is very uneasy. ”

Seeing that the holy monk said solemnly, the villagers were terrified, and respectfully replied: "Thanks to the holy monk's concern, it is our sin, but the demon kills and kills lives, and the lives are ruined, and it should indeed be removed as soon as possible, and a peace in all directions, so that you will have to worry about it, and we still need to burn paper money to send Ah Da on the road, so it will not be far away." ”

Tang Sanzang nodded, bowed and said, "In this way, the Sanzang Legion will say goodbye, I hope you will be careful and cherish yourself." ”
