The five of them crossed the quicksand river in one horse, and after walking for a long time, they met the four bodhisattvas who had transformed into several women and said that they wanted to recruit sons-in-law.
Sun Wukong and Shi Jian recognized their identities with their fiery eyes, and didn't say anything, unlike Sun Wukong, Shi Jian was afraid that if he said too much, he would lose, after all, there were four Bodhisattvas in front of him, and if he missed anything, it would be bad.
Tang Seng and Sha Seng were unmoved, Tang Seng was unmoved because his heart of cultivating Buddhism was very firm, but Sha Seng was not, because he already knew what was going on.
Only Zhu Bajie seemed to be enchanted, in the dead of night, he took advantage of Tang Seng, Shi Jian and others to fall asleep, and went to find the Bodhisattva who transformed into several women.
As a result, he fell into a dark and was hanged on a tree for his life.
When everyone woke up on the second day, they found Zhu Bajie's tragic situation, and everyone couldn't help laughing.
After experiencing the tenth tribulation deliberately created by the four bodhisattvas, everyone ran all the way into a mountain range.
The three bells of "Knock~Knock~Knock" echoed in the mountains.
"Is there a bell?" Tang Seng asked the people beside him as he listened to the bell that came.
"It's the bell. Shi Jian nodded.
"Alas, the apprentice heard a voice coming, but master, how can there be a bell in this big mountain?" the sand monk asked.
"Hey, Senior Brother Sha, this world is so big, in the reckless mountains, maybe there are some small temples here. Sun Wukong said.
"Oh, that's what the senior brother said. Sha Seng made a sudden realization.
Zhu Bajie, who was on the side, heard Sun Wukong's words, and hurriedly said, "Brother Monkey, are you talking about someone nearby?"
As soon as Zhu Bajie's voice fell, his stomach began to drum.
Hearing the sound of Zhu Bajie's stomach, everyone couldn't help laughing, and Zhu Bajie was a little embarrassed.
"What do you see, my old pig has a lot of strength and can't bear to be hungry!" Zhu Bajie said with some dissatisfaction.
"Alas, I said Bajie, Senior Brother Sha was carrying the luggage on the road, you didn't do anything, why is it always you who is the first to shout hungry. Sun Wukong on the side quipped.
Zhu Bajie's old face turned red, and he said urgently: "That's because my old pig is fatter, and fat people can't bear to be hungry." ”
"Okay, Wukong, don't tease Bajie, Bajie is hungry because he used to eat more full for a long time, and he didn't like to exercise, and if he didn't exercise, his digestion would be slower, so he wouldn't feel how hungry he was, but now he has to walk a long way every day, and his digestion is faster, so he will be hungry more easily. Shi Jian opened his mouth and said, and on this journey, Shi Jian finally confirmed that Zhu Bajie was the helper arranged by the Jade Emperor for him.
According to what Zhu Bajie said, the reason why he went down to earth was because of Chang'e, when he first saw Chang'e in Heavenly Court, he fell in love with Chang'e, and every night in Heavenly Court, when he thought of Chang'e, the love seed of the Jade Emperor in his heart slowly sprouted. Until the love in his heart bloomed, the Jade Emperor found him.
When he saw the Jade Emperor, he was very frightened, because he knew that he had violated the rules of heaven, and the immortals were not allowed to touch the hearts of mortals.
But the Jade Emperor did not blame him on the spot, but asked him who the fairy he liked was, and then told him that if he was willing to cooperate with the Jade Emperor to do something, the Jade Emperor promised to help him ask Chang'e, and if Chang'e was willing, the Jade Emperor personally went to see the Queen Mother, persuaded the Queen Mother, and asked her to agree to the two of them together, and then marry the two of them together.
Hearing the benefits promised by the Jade Emperor, Zhu Bajie agreed on the spot, and then on top of the Lingxiao Treasure Palace, he was beaten down to the mortal world by the Jade Emperor.
"So that's the case, it seems that fat people are trouble. Sun Wukong on the side couldn't help muttering.
"Yes, yes, Mr. Shi is right, that's it. Zhu Bajie hurriedly nodded like a chicken pecking rice and said.
"Oh, it seems that Mr. Shi has seen and heard a lot, and he even knows this kind of thing. Sha Seng looked at Shi Jian with some surprise and said.
"Hey, what about me, I like to read some miscellaneous books, and if I read more books, I will know, it is precisely because of this that I failed to pass the top prize, and then I encountered some adventures, and I began to cultivate immortals. Shi Jian said to Sha Seng with a smile.
"I see. Sha Seng said suddenly.
"Okay, let's not talk about Bajie, we haven't seen anyone along the way, there are many of us, and Bajie eats more, and we have eaten almost all the food in the bag in the baggage and the Qiankun bag of Manager Shi, let's go to the place where the bell came from to see, listen to the bell, and the faint smell, for the teacher to think that it should be a Taoist temple, I hope to eat some fasting." Tang Seng said.
"Master, can you still understand the bell and smell the smell?" asked Sun Wukong in surprise.
"Brother Monkey, you don't want to think about the fact that the master grew up in the temple since he was a child, what is it to him to understand the bells. Zhu Bajie said that he also looked at Tang Seng with some doubts and said: "But the master said that there was a smell, but my old pig couldn't smell it, and how did the master know that it was a Taoist temple and not a temple?"
"You guys, you're really worrying, don't you know when you arrive?" Shi Jian shook his head and said.
"Alas, this is also true, when you arrive, you will know whether what the master said is right or not. Zhu Bajie and Sun Wukong responded.
The five of them walked in the direction from which the bell came.
The group walked for a short time and came to a stone staircase.
Looking at the mountain gate not far away, and the green smoke rising from behind the mountain gate, listening to the bell that came, everyone knew that they had arrived.
Tang Seng turned over and dismounted, and walked towards the mountain gate with a few people.
When they came to the mountain gate, everyone saw the stone monument erected on the left side of the mountain gate at a glance.
The stele is two meters high, the whole body is white, you can know the best jade at a glance, and there is a line of five characters engraved on the jade, one line on the left and right, a total of ten words on it.
"Master, you're right, in front of this is a Taoist temple, you see, this stele is written with ten big characters of 'Wanshou Mountain Blessed Land, Wuzhuang Guandongtian'. Sha Seng pointed to the stone tablet and said to Tang Seng.
"Alas, master, you look at the stone tablet material is a good jade, you didn't expect to be put here by the owner of this place openly, and you are not afraid of thieves, I really don't know who the owner here is, and it is such a big hand. Zhu Bajie looked at the jade in front of him and said.
"Okay, Bajie, don't stare at the jade, the jade can't be eaten, the master who wants to come here has put the stele made of this jade here for many years and has never been stolen, can you imagine his means, weren't you hungry just now? Why aren't you hungry now?" Shi Jian said to Zhu Bajie, who was staring at the jade with Venus in his eyes, this is the Taoist temple of Zhenyuan Daxian, the ancestor of the earth immortals, you Zhu Bajie is bile?
As soon as he heard what he was eating, Zhu Bajie came back to his senses and said, "Yes, yes, it's important to eat, master, let's go to fast." After saying that, he ran towards the gate.
Looking at Zhu Bajie, who was very happy to run away, Tang Seng shook his head and said to a few people: "Manager Shi, apprentices, let's go too, I hope this view can allow us to turn into some food." (To be continued.) )
