Chapter 2 The Long-winded Tang Sanzang

"A long, long time ago, on the top of Huaguo Mountain, there is a fairy stone, since Pangu opened the world, every innocent show, the sun is fine and the moon is beautiful, and it feels like it has been for a long time, so it has the meaning of being well-informed.

One day, lightning and thunder roared, the heavens and the earth were shaken, and the fairy stone actually fell, and a stone monkey jumped out of it..."

The storyteller spoke eloquently in the cave, unaware that the seemingly human-like listener in front of him was the protagonist of his story.

I don't know how many cold and summer times have passed, Lin Wanxing has already realized that she is not dreaming, but has crossed into Wuzhi Mountain. Lin Wanxing was at a loss for several days, and after thinking about it to no avail, she chose to happily accept her new identity.

After countless attempts, she finally learned to go out of her body and take on the form of a human woman in her previous life. Afraid that Sun Wukong would be bored, she deliberately went to the city under the mountain to find a storyteller to relieve Sun Wukong's boredom, hundreds of years of time passed in the blink of an eye, Sun Wukong was still as handsome and handsome as when he first met, but the storyteller changed one after another, and the life of mortals was as short as fireworks in their eyes.

Lin Wanxing stared at Sun Wukong's face carefully, now that the matter of learning scriptures and becoming a Buddha has not happened, Sun Wukong's fame is only spread among monsters, and I don't know where I heard this storyteller, in case I say the wrong thing, it won't annoy him.

Sun Wukong's expression was very exciting, sometimes full of interest and sometimes disdainful, and when he heard this, he suddenly interjected, "What does he look like, have you seen it?" ”

The storyteller honestly said, "I didn't see it." ”

"Then why is it a stone monkey? Didn't pop out of a single person? Sun Wukong asked.

"It's... It is said that he has a hairy face, is only 1.3 meters tall, loves peaches and bananas, and mixes with monkeys every day..."

"Whoever doesn't say it with a long eye must be my enemy slandering me." Sun Wukong said angrily.

"Poof." Lin Wanxing laughed out loud on the side, and said to the storyteller who was at a loss, "You don't care about him, just talk about yours." ”

The storyteller continued, "... Only the stone monkey jumped on the iron bridge, and entered the water curtain cave along the iron bridge, the blessed land and the cave in the cave, there are stone tables, stone benches, and stone bowls, and the monkeys are busy asking, "How deep is the water?" The stone monkey replied, "There is no water, there is no water, it is an iron bridge, you come in and see!" ”…”

Sun Wukong interrupted again, "It's nonsense!" What an iron bridge, just a few vines! Also, the stone monkey can barely speak, how can ordinary monkeys still speak? ”

No matter how good the storyteller's temper is, he is a little displeased, and said with a dark face, "You can't understand the monkey words and monkeys they say, you can do it or you can say it!" ”

Lin Wanxing was also a little curious, wasn't what the storyteller said the truth?

Sun Wukong really said, "That stone monkey is the same as a human, and he has clear eyebrows, smart and dexterous, but there is a fluffy monkey tail behind him,"

Lin Wanxing glanced behind Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong didn't squint, but moved his butt uncomfortably, hiding his tail more tightly,

"When he was born, many monkeys surrounded him, and when they saw his strange appearance, they threw stones at him, pushed him, bullied him, and refused to give him the fruit of the tree.

On this day, there was a colorful tiger foraging nearby, and the other monkeys warned each other that they had already taken refuge in the trees, and he was the only one drinking alone by the river, unaware, and it was too late to escape when he was discovered...

At the moment of life and death, the little stone monkey used all his strength, even he didn't expect him to have so much strength, three punches and two kicks killed the tiger, and then he was the king in Huaguo Mountain, jackals, tigers and leopards avoided him, and the monkeys who originally bullied him also changed their attitudes, and they respected him just to be protected by him. ”

Lin Wanxing's nose was sour, she didn't expect Brother Monkey's life experience to be so miserable, she said unfairly, "Didn't the stone monkey retaliate against them?" ”

"Nope." Sun Wukong's expression was indifferent, "If the enemy was only one or two monkeys, he would have driven them away, and if all the monkeys were like this, there would have been only one person who drove them away, so he became their king." ”

Lin Wanxing and the storyteller listened with relish, and no one bothered, Sun Wukong continued,

"One day, several hunters came to Huaguo Mountain, they wore coarse linen short clothes, armed with bows and arrows, hunted the animals in the mountain wantonly, the stone monkey as the king of the mountain, naturally could not stand idly by, at that time he did not know the horror of human beings, stupidly led the monkeys to fight bravely.

Orion's bow and arrows were very powerful, although they were driven away, but most of the monkeys were killed and wounded, and the stone monkey was very guilty, and he secretly decided to protect the surviving monkeys and avenge the dead men.

When he went back, he found that the Water Curtain Cave was empty, and the monkeys felt that the Stone Monkey had made a wrong decision and was not worthy of being their king, so they thought that they were not the opponents of the Stone Monkey, so they quietly left, and he was the only one left in the huge Water Curtain Cave.

The next day, Orion brought more people to Huaguo Mountain, this time they had only one purpose, that is, the stone monkey, the stone monkey resisted hard, killed several Orion, and finally was outnumbered and taken away in an iron cage. ”

Sun Wukong was silent for a moment, and Lin Wanxing asked, "And then?" ”

"They dressed the stone monkey, gave him human food, taught him human language and etiquette, the stone monkey was very smart, and it didn't take long for him to learn a thing, but he didn't understand the purpose of these people, and he kept pretending not to understand." Monkey King said.

The storyteller couldn't help but interject, "They must think that the stone monkey is the lost child of some family, and they want to raise him, they are enemies to the animals of Huaguo Mountain, but to the stone monkey, they are benefactors, and he should regret that he killed those hunters in the first place." ”

Sun Wukong was noncommittal, and continued, "The stone monkey hesitated between whether to take revenge, one day, he overheard Orion's conversation, saying that he had good skin and meat, and wanted to sell him to the restaurant to cook, the stone monkey was surprised, I didn't expect these people to be so vicious, since they want to kill, why do they have to do so many useless things, I think it is to lower his defense." ”

"Ahem," the storyteller suddenly coughed twice, "I'm afraid the stone monkey heard it wrong, you just said that he was born with clear eyebrows and beautiful eyes, probably not sold to the restaurant to cook, but to the flower house to cook... Uh"

Lin Wanxing suddenly slapped him behind his back, the storyteller looked at her suspiciously, and Sun Wukong looked at the storyteller suspiciously, "Did you hear wrong?" What flower house? ”

Lin Wanxing said nonsense, "It's a restaurant with flowers, also called a flower building." ”

"I see." Sun Wukong nodded.

The storyteller thought for a moment and nodded, and said in his heart that he didn't expect this little lady to be so strict with her husband, and she didn't even hide it from Hualou, but this man did seem to lack common sense, could it be...

The storyteller suddenly remembered that he had been talking about the past few days, and the man had never left half a step on the round platform, plus the couple was so handsome in the man, but the woman was ordinary, could it be that the man was put under house arrest by this woman!? He looked closely, and sure enough, he saw a faint iron chain on the man's ankle!

The storyteller felt that he was telling the truth, he began to tremble, this time when he went back, he must tell the county magistrate about this matter, and expose the conspiracy of this poisonous woman cave and the Han.

The storyteller was a little distracted, only to hear the man's voice continue, but in his ears it was intermittent,

“… The stone monkey listened to the old woman who was swaggering and said to the rich merchant, "Don't be afraid that he will have great strength, put this medicine into his food, this is ten times the amount of ordinary people, and I am sure that he will not be able to turn over!" ”

The vicious old woman actually wanted to poison him, the stone monkey stole the medicine while people were unprepared, and put it in the big pot of rice in the kitchen, the people in this restaurant are not good things, and it is not unjust to poison them..."

"Uh," Lin Wanxing whispered, "Then what happened to them?" ”

"I don't know, I ran away after the drug, I guess I was poisoned." Sun Wukong accidentally brought in the first person, and the two looked at the storyteller cautiously.

Fortunately, the storyteller was a little absent-minded and didn't notice it at all, but said quietly, "Legend has it that many years ago, there was a major event in the most famous Hualou, which involved many dignitaries and nobles, and the Hualou has been in a slump since then and disappeared." ”

"Hmph, they all deserve it." Monkey King said.

Lin Wanxing and the storyteller both knew that the medicine was not a poison, and the two were silent for a while.

"After talking for a long time, my mouth is a little dry, so let's talk about it." Sun Wukong is humane to storytellers.

Lin Wanxing, as the spirit of Wuzhi Mountain, casually took a delicious peach from the peach tree, pretended to take it out of his arms to hide people's eyes, and skillfully threw it at Sun Wukong, who passed through the enchantment without hindrance and was easily caught by Sun Wukong.

Lin Wanxing has already tried it, the Buddha's enchantment can only stop living things, but it can't stop dead things, at the beginning the peach she threw was crushed by Wuzhi Mountain as soon as she entered the enchantment, and then she managed to remove the weight on Sun Wukong's body, and it all went smoothly.

The golden pillar of light that originally suppressed Sun Wukong has long since disappeared, and the enchantment set up by the Buddha is usually hidden and invisible, so this cave has nothing special except for being spacious.

Originally, Lin Wanxing was worried that he would be blamed by the Buddha for withdrawing his divine power, but fortunately, he had been safe and sound for hundreds of years, and Lin Wanxing also let go of this heart.

The storyteller continued to tell the story of the havoc in the Heavenly Palace, and Sun Wukong frowned from time to time, but he no longer interrupted, thinking that he was afraid that he would make a mistake.

“… In the end, he was pressed by the Buddha at the foot of the Five Finger Mountain. The storyteller picked up the kettle he brought and poured it down violently, Lin Wanxing estimated that he was also hungry, so he picked a few fruits for him, but saw the storyteller staring at her fixedly.

"What? Don't like apples? Lin Wanxing wondered.

The storyteller's mouth trembled a little, "No, no, I'm just a little strange, your clothes are obviously not big, where did you get so much fruit." ”

Lin Wanxing was speechless for a while, but the storyteller's legs began to tremble, "It's okay, it's okay, I'll just say it casually." ”

The storyteller has a bad conjecture in his heart, this woman is probably a monster! He looked down and saw that the candlelight flickered in the cave, and the shadows of himself and the man flickered, but there was no shadow behind the woman!

There's a ghost!! The storyteller was calm and couldn't let the female ghost know that he could see it, but he still sat on the ground with a soft foot and a buttocks.

"What's wrong with you?" Lin Wanxing reached out to help.

"It's okay, I accidentally fell." The storyteller accidentally touched Lin Wanxing's outstretched fingertips, and it was as cold as ice! "I'll get up on my own, I'll get up on my own!"

"Oh," Lin Wanxing was inexplicable, only to see the storyteller's pants wet, "Why are your pants wet?" ”

"Yes, it's the water in that hole." Storyteller humane.

"I seem to smell something strange." Sun Wukong said suddenly.

"Really?" Lin Wanxing's body is a mountain that is not good at moving, I am afraid that it will kill people if she moves, plus the Buddha's charm, she is also difficult to move, and now she is in the state of the primordial spirit, and she has barely cultivated the entity under the guidance of Sun Wukong over the years, and she can appear in front of people, but her five senses are not very sensitive, and she can't smell anything.

Lin Wanxing quipped, "I'm afraid that your convenience over the years has accumulated a lot, and it will taste like it." ”

"! I haven't eaten as many rats over the years, so how can I have a convenient time! Sun Wukong's old face turned red, and he suddenly remembered the absurd things he had done in the palm of the Buddha's hands, and his heart became empty, it has been five hundred years, could it be that the smell has not dissipated at that time?

The storyteller said in his heart, this poor man probably didn't know that this person was a ghost, and he was actually locked up for several years! I can't get enough to eat! Since this woman is not human, there is really nothing he can do, if he can escape smoothly this time, see if he can find a high monk to bring down this monster.

After the story was told, after Lin Wanxing nodded, the storyteller fled the cave like the wind, ran straight to the point where he had no strength to stop, and just sat down to take a breath, he happened to meet a senior monk, he seemed to grasp the life-saving straw, and raised his voice, "Elder! Elder! Can you slay demons? ”

Tang Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and calmly said to the storyteller, "I can try to subdue demons, but can you subdue tigers?" Then he pointed behind the tree.

When the storyteller saw it, it was a fierce tiger staring at them, and not far away a group of men dressed as soldiers were desperately fleeing, and a white horse was also fleeing for their lives in the distance.

The storyteller can't wait to go back and let the female ghost swallow it alive at this moment, it is better than being tortured by the tiger one by one, the storyteller is already numb, he was tired from running wild for a while, and after a series of frightes, he couldn't raise his strength at this time, so he asked, "Senior monk, they all ran away, why didn't you run?" ”

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and saluted very decently, "Amitabha, why doesn't the donor run?" Could it be that like the poor monks, he can't bear to starve this tiger? In ancient times, the Buddha fed the eagle with meat, and today I feed the tiger with my body, but according to the book, the merit is not as good as the Buddha's case, I didn't expect to meet people like you here who are not enlightened but so compassionate, the donor will be able to get great edification in the future, and achieve positive results, I am familiar with the donor at first sight, but the timing is not good, and I can't talk about the scriptures together, it's a pity..."

The storyteller's mind was blank, and he only remembered the first sentence why he didn't run, and he couldn't help but say, "Actually, I just can't run because my legs are weak." ”

Tang Seng was not annoyed by being interrupted, and still said slowly word by word, "I see, you don't have to panic, the poor monk has a way that is not a solution..."

The storyteller said, "I'm not panicking, I'm not panicking, ah!" The tiger moved! Dignitary! What do you have a plan? ”

"Huh~" The tiger probably felt that he was being ignored, and couldn't help but roar, emphasizing his sense of existence.

"I'll just sit here and don't move, the tiger will eat me and I'll be full, you just need to run over me, it's getting late, you go home quickly, the family is still waiting for you, don't let them worry, don't come to the mountains alone so late in the future, it's too dangerous, this time I happen to be here, next time, you may not be able to meet me."

The storyteller said, not necessarily, I will definitely not meet you next time.

Tang Seng still looked calm, he sat cross-legged in place, holding a black Buddha bead in his hand, and there were words in his mouth, and he didn't know if he was chanting the scriptures, or if he hadn't finished speaking.

His short figure became tall and stupid in the eyes of the storyteller, the storyteller felt that he was inexplicably a little moved, he couldn't bear to let a stupid monk with a little problem with his head but a very kind heart died in front of him like this, he thought about it carefully and made a decision.

He took a breath and shouted in the direction of the cave, "Miss Lin!!" Help me!! There's a tiger in your turf! Grab your rations! Come on!! ”
