It is said that after the Tang monk and apprentice bid farewell to the black chicken country, they traveled in the barren mountains and wilderness.

Sleeping in the open (

ià

, meaning: 20) days, only to finally see the signs of human activity again.

It's a deserted village.

The chickens don't crow, the dogs don't bark, and the population is cut off.

It is full of ruins and ruins, and it is a remnant of war along the way.

"Why are there so many uncollected corpses?"

"Brother Monkey, you don't understand this. Looking at this village, it is clear that it has suffered, and all the people can run have run away, which is why it is so desolate. ”

"You nerd, when did you become so elf?"

"It's not a question of whether you're an elf or not," Zhu Bajie was a little dissatisfied, "Brother Monkey, you're either the king of the mountain in Huaguo Mountain, or you're the king of the heavenly court...... Well, Monkey King, naturally he doesn't know about the suffering in this world. ”

"Idiot, you just wanted to talk about Bi Ma Wen?" Sun Wukong's tone was a little heavier, "Also, you say this as if you know it." ”

Zhu Bajie retorted: "Since my old pig was reincarnated, he has been digging in the ground by labor, but he is not born like you!" ”

"Senior Brother Sha, look! This rammer who lacks tendons thinks he is a cropper! Even the body weapons are raked with mouth nails! ”

Sha Wujing didn't speak, he still carried the burden honestly, and did not participate in the small talk between the two senior brothers.

However, Tang Sanzang silently listened to the conversation between the two apprentices, and then looked at the white bones on both sides of the road that no one relented, and felt in his heart, and couldn't help sighing:

"Looking westward, hesitating.

The sword soldier hangs upside down.

All living beings have been turned into earth.

Xing, the people suffer; Death, the people suffer. ”

After hearing this, the three disciples suddenly raised their heads and looked at Tang Sanzang incredulously.

They didn't expect that this master, who gets along day and night, turned out to be a great poet who is deeply hidden!

Although the Tang Dynasty has produced many literati and poems all over the world, especially Chang'an City, which is known as the cultural center of the world, everyone can chant poems and eulogies, from princes and generals to peddlers and pawns.

But!

This stereotype definitely doesn't apply to Tang Sanzang!

The apprentice knows better than anyone what his master is.

Eating, drinking, gambling, smoking, abducting, cheating, stealing, there is no law in this world that Tang Sanzang does not dare to violate.

It is not an exaggeration to describe it as an "extralegal fanatic".

But it's just such a guy who "can't spit out ivory from a dog's mouth", but suddenly said such a profound philosophical and compassionate poem.

The three apprentices felt that their three views had been completely subverted.

Carefully tasting and reminiscing, this half of the poem is like an old wine, and the more you ponder, the more you feel the profound meaning.

Not only the three apprentices, but even the land lord here was shocked.

I saw a clod of earth suddenly rise on the ground not far away, and then a half-gray smoke rose, and a thin old man with a stilted back leaned on crutches and knelt tremblingly on the ground.

"The little god has seen the Sanzang mage!"

Ryoma was very humane and stopped the horse's hooves.

Tang Sanzang looked condescendingly at the old man who didn't have much hair left, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"The little god is the land here, and he has been waiting for Master Sanzang here."

Tang Sanzang was slightly surprised in his heart: "Do you recognize me?" ”

The land grinned: "It is rumored that Master Sanzang is compassionate and compassionate, and has a common heart. Holy monk, you have a feeling at the right time, so that the little god is sensitive, so come out to meet. ”

Tang Sanzang nodded noncommittally.

"Since you are the land here, let me ask you, why is this place so desolate?"

"The holy monk doesn't know that this town is called Xiangshui Town because it is close to the Xiangshui River.

Originally, it was also a paradise where river transportation was developed and thriving.

It's just because I don't know when there was an angry dragon in the black water river, and he injured the river god and occupied the cave.

Since then, the originally clear and sweet Xiangshui River has become a black indigo tank.

The fish and shrimp are dead, and the trade route is cut off.

Xiangshui Town became Heishui Town, and the people had no way to live and moved out one after another.

A good town, so far it has gradually become deserted.

Later, out of nowhere, a group of robbers moved in and killed the only 100 or so families in Heishui Town, all the old and young, and the strong men, leaving only seventy or eighty women for prostitution day and night. ”

The land lord finished his speech in one breath, and was panting for breath at this moment.

It seems that the bitterness in his heart has been accumulated for a long time, and finally there is an opportunity, so he poured beans into a bamboo tube and said everything.

Tang Sanzang didn't interrupt the words of the land lord, he just listened quietly.

This NPC in the "Blackwater River Dungeon" speaks very interestingly, with a low tone and a rich emotion.

made Tang Sanzang full of interest in the next battle.

The land lord finally breathed evenly, he straightened out his tattered clothes, and knelt down on the ground with a serious face.

"Please ask the holy monk to make decisions for the people of Xiangshui Town, and give me justice in Xiangshui Town!"

After speaking, he kowtowed to Tang Sanzang three times.

It stands to reason that although the position of the land is low, it is also the righteous god registered in the heavenly court.

He didn't care about the identity gap between himself and Tang Sanzang, and made such a big gift.

Seemingly...... This dragon is in Xiangshui Town, and he has really created a lot of bad karma.

"Amitabha! The land is open quickly, the way of heaven is clear, and there is justice.

The poor monks traveled west to learn scriptures according to the Buddha's decree, which was to preach the Dharma and eliminate injustice.

Since Xiangshui Town has been treated so unfairly, then this matter is in the hands of the poor monks! ”

Hearing Tang Sanzang's affirmative reply, the land was so excited that he burst into tears and kowtowed again and again.

Tang Sanzang was helpless, so he could only give Sun Wukong a look.

Sun Wukong knew what he meant, took three steps and made two steps, jumped in front of the land, blew on him, and "helped" him from the ground.

"What's the matter, look at what excites you!" Sun Wukong looked disdainful, "It's just a dragon, look at how my master accepts him!" ”

"Thank you, thank you, thank you!"

"No thanks, no thanks, that dragon cub is not in a hurry, wait until I clear the town of robbers and bandits first."

With the reassurance of Tang Sanzang's promise, the land walked much brisker, and he volunteered to lead the way in front.

The dragon was nothing, but the bandits and robbers did it to provoke him.

Tang Sanzang couldn't see this kind of bullying of men and women in his life.

With a black face and a Zen staff, he dismounted and followed behind the land lord, already with murderous intent.

Zhu Bajie led the dragon horse, and when he saw Tang Sanzang's posture, he already understood most of it in his heart, and he whispered to Sun Wukong: "It's the first time that my old pig has seen the master so angry, and those robbers are afraid that they won't survive tonight." ”

Sun Wukong pursed his lips, his face full of disdain: "Some of the pickled talents in the next work are killed with a stick, and they are also accumulating merit." It's the dragon that makes my grandson a little concerned. ”

At this time, the little white dragon who had been incarnating as a white horse carrying Tang Sanzang to the west suddenly spat out his words.

"Senior brothers, if what I think is right, it should be called Jie Jie."

"Ao Lie, do you recognize him?"

Ryoma nodded: "Although we can't talk about acquaintances, we have also had some friendships." ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he hurriedly asked: "Senior Brother Ao, what is the situation with the dragon, you can tell me in detail!" ”
