Chapter Forty-Nine: The Pig Rings
Taigong raised his cane and scolded: "You, why don't you go to find someone quickly, what are you doing when you come back?"
Telling the master, the little one walked out of the street and suddenly ran into three monks: one riding a horse, one carrying a burden, and one leading a horse. One of them, Lei Gong, who was leading the horse, grabbed me and asked me what I was doing in a hurry. I said I was going to find a demon hunter to deal with the monsters, and the man said he would catch monsters, so the little one brought them over and is now waiting outside the door!" replied respectfully as the blue-jacketed boy bowed so low that he didn't dare to look up.
Gao Taigong grabbed his beard and asked suspiciously, "Where did they come from?"
He said that the great mage from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern region went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. The boy replied, still bowing his head.
"It is said that foreign monks can chant scriptures, but if they really have any means to deal with that monster, go and invite them in!" Gao Taigong waved his hand and went to the house to change clothes.
The three of Xuanzang were invited to the main hall, sat down, and had a maid serve tea and snacks.
At this time, Mrs. Gao had already changed his clothes, stepped in from the door, and shouted "Elder!" when he saw the three of them, "Elder!"
"Three elders, it's time to do it!" he said, bowing down and clasping his fists.
Xuanzang clasped his hands together and saluted, "Amitabha, I've seen this old benefactor!"
"Shicai has heard that this young man has said that the monster has taken over the daughter of the lord's family, so the poor monk already has a plan in his heart, this old benefactor can relax and let my big apprentice go and surrender him at night!" Xuanzang was too lazy to listen to the old lady's chatter, so he slapped the board directly.
Gao Taigong's eyes narrowed, he looked at Sun Wukong, and said curiously: "Can you be a big apprentice? You are so thin, I'm afraid you can't even move a bag of wheat bran! If you say that this black strong man in the back, the old man can still believe it......
Sun Wukong was a little annoyed by what the old man said, took out the golden hoop stick from his ear, became bigger and waved it in the air, and the wind sound of "woo" sounded.
Then he moved out of the house, flew into the clouds, and made the golden rod even larger, churning the clouds without stopping.
Gao Taigong's mouth grew at this time, and he shouted: "It turned out to be the eldest master of the immortal family, come down quickly, the little old man believes it, this elder is really powerful!"
Sun Wukong snorted angrily, and then flew into the house from the clouds.
"It's not dark, I don't think that monster will come yet, you take me to your daughter's residence first!" Sun Wukong turned the golden hoop stick into the size of an embroidery needle and stuffed it into his ear.
This action caused Gao Taigong's face to be full of surprise, such a big stick actually became smaller and stuffed into his ears, it was really a miraculous law!
He answered yes, and then led the way with the blue-jacketed boy to the back house.
The doors and windows of an attic in the back house were tightly closed, and the doors were also locked with brass locks.
Sun Wukong opened his mouth and blew it, and then opened the copper lock, and then revealed the dark room inside.
"Old man Gao, quickly call your daughter out!" Sun Wukong stepped out of the way and exposed the gap.
Gao Taigong stiffened his head, leaned into the door and leaned into his upper body, shouting, "Cuilan, are you there?"
Gao Cuilan naturally recognized her father's voice, and responded weakly: "Daddy, I'm here!"
After a while, a large jasper dressed in emerald green stepped out of the darkness, his face pale and his eyes revealing fear.
Seeing Gao Taigong, tears suddenly gushed out and threw himself into Gao Taigong's arms: "Daddy, are you here to save me?"
The two hugged their heads and cried for a long time before they stopped for a while.
"This young lady, do you know where the monster lives?" asked Sun Wukong.
Gao Cuilan rubbed her crying red eyes, and she inadvertently saw Xuanzang who was following her, and couldn't help but feel fluttering, and quickly twisted her head and replied, "That monster doesn't know where to go." These days, the morning departed, and the night came, and the clouds became foggy, and I did not know where to return. I must have known that my father was going to ask the Heavenly Master to drive him away, and he was always on guard, so he fainted. ”
"Wukong, you will take on the appearance of Miss Gao, wait for that monster to come in at night, and then you can catch him in one fell swoop, don't go back to any cave with him!" Xuanzang admonished.
Xuanzang led Gao Taigong and others to the front house, because he knew that the pig's head was cunning, so he planned to clean up the pig's head at night.
After a while, a gust of wind came, and the stones flew and the sand flew everywhere, and the smoke and dust were everywhere.
Mrs. Gao shrank her head in the house, and Gao Cuilan also got into her father's arms, and said in a low voice: "It should be him who came......"
Xuanzang opened his eyes, disappeared, and went to the back house.
I saw a monster with a black face and short hair, a long beak and big ears, wearing a collar of green but not green, blue and blue shuttle cloth straight jacket, and tied a flower cloth hand towel.
Pig Gang pushed open the door and went straight into it, looking very anxious.
Xuanzang also quietly followed, standing outside the door and listening to the situation inside.
As soon as Zhu Gangguan entered the door, his eyes saw "Miss Gao" lying on his side on the bed with his back to him.
rubbed his hands, turned around and carefully closed the door, and rushed over to hug "Miss Gao" and kiss him.
Sun Wukong had already listened to Xuanzang's instructions, and did not talk nonsense with him, but directly grabbed his arm with his backhand, blew a monkey hair and turned it into a rope to entangle it.
"Cuilan, what are you doing here? No, you're not Cuilan, who are you?" Pig Gang struggled violently, "You have the ability to fight me for three hundred rounds, so this kind of trickery is not a hero!"
As he spoke, his body continued to grow larger, and the rope made of monkey fur was not particularly strong, and he was about to break free.
Sun Wukong appeared in his original form, took out a golden hoop stick from his ear, and it was a stick on his head.
Zhu Gangguan suddenly felt a pain in his head, his eyes were full of stars, and the range of struggle became smaller.
Sun Wukong blew on the golden hoop stick, turned into shackles, and locked the monster.
Zhu Gang came to his senses and looked at it, this is the gentle and lovely Gao Cuilan, this is obviously a hairy face and a thunderous monkey.
"Hmph, it turns out that you, Bi Ma Wen, are calculating my old pig, why, don't you be happy in your Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, what are you doing here in Gao Laozhuang?
Sun Wukong was surprised: "How can you, a pig-headed demon, know me? I am following the decree of Guanyin Niangniang to protect Tang Seng and learn scriptures!"
Zhu Gangguan heard the word "learn scriptures", raised his head and said seriously: "Learn scriptures? That's really a coincidence, please ask the great sage to introduce me, I was also persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva, she asked me to wait for the master here, let me protect the Tang monk to go to the west to learn the scriptures, so that I can atone for the crime." ”
"Really?" Sun Wukong looked at Zhu Gangguan suspiciously, looking up and down, "How do you know my old grandson?"
"I was originally the Heavenly Peng Yuanshi, naturally I have seen you, because I was drunk at the Queen Mother's peach party, I broke into the Guanghan Palace, and saw that Chang'e was very beautiful, so I went up and said a few words, and saw that her skirt was a little good-looking, and I wanted to touch the material of the clothes...... Unexpectedly, he was discovered by the Jade Emperor and slandered me as an old pig for molesting and violating the rules of heaven, so he was demoted to the mortal world and mistakenly cast a pig's fetus. Hurry up and invite someone to learn the scriptures, my old pig still wants to apprentice!" said Zhu Gangguan with his head lowered and lowered his eyebrows, revealing a trace of unwillingness in his tone.
Sun Wukong grinned and said, "It turns out that you idiot is the reincarnation of Tianpeng, since you have also received the Bodhisattva's decree, go with me to meet the master!"
"No need, I'm already here!"
Xuanzang stepped forward at this time, stretched out his hand, and the sound of the lamp was ignited, and the dark house instantly lit up.
When Zhu Gangguan saw Xuanzang coming in, he looked at Sun Wukong with an inquiring look in his eyes, obviously asking, "Is this the person who learned the scriptures?"
Sun Wukong nodded and asked respectfully, "Master, why are you here?"
Zhu Gangguan instantly realized, knelt on the ground, his proboscis almost touched the ground, and respectfully kowtowed three heads.
"Master, Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened me, let me be an apprentice for you, please Master accept my old pig!" Zhu Gangguana's tone was very low and respectful, a pair of eyes glanced around, although it was a pig's body, but it showed a shrewdness.
Xuanzang groaned, did not speak, did not accept or refuse, which made Zhu Gangguan's heart a little flustered.
If I can't follow the Western Scriptures, I don't know when I will be able to attain the right results! If there is no protection from the heavenly court, or if the Buddha Gate takes me in, it will be very easy for the next calamity to be ashes......
When Zhu Gangguan was thinking nonsense, Xuanzang was really thinking about whether to accept Zhu Gangguan as an apprentice, this guy was lazy and lazy along the way, and he broke up at every turn, and finally took the Western Meridian and shared some merits, so that he got the position of a pure altar messenger.
"Master, my old pig is not bad, he will change in thirty-six ways, he understands the "Taiqing Xuanyuan Water Control Technique", and the natal spiritual treasure given by Lao Jun, the nine-tooth nail rake, and he will be able to protect the master on the road!"
Tiangang thirty-six changes, it is a good magic spell, this is what Xuanzang wants, thinking about it, this nerd didn't make much contribution along the way, and being lazy made him less meritorious.
Thinking about it this way, it's not that you can't accept this pig gangguana, there is another important reason that the exercises and weapons of this guy are all related to Taishang Laojun, and Taishang Laojun is the doppelganger of the sage Taiqing Laozi, if there is any calculation in it, Xuanzang doesn't want to risk throwing the sage's chess pieces out of the chessboard now.
It's not worth offending a saint for the sake of a little merit.
"Hmm...... Since it is the arrangement of Guanyin Bodhisattva, as a teacher, I will recognize you as a named disciple, and now that you have entered my Xuanzang sect, you should be given a legal name, your senior brother's name is Wukong, you will be called Wuneng!"
"In addition, I see that you are fat and greedy, and your lust has not been removed, and you must continue to abstain from five meat and three disgusts, so I will give you another name called the Eight Precepts. ”
Xuanzang finished speaking slowly, then walked over and stretched out his hand to help Zhu Bajie up, which was regarded as officially accepting this apprentice.
"Master Xie took it in, and in the future, my old pig will remember Master's teachings!" Zhu Bajie raised his eyebrows at Sun Wukong with a happy face, and said: "Senior brother, it's all a family, hurry up and loosen the tie on me!"
Sun Wukong beckoned, and the pair of iron shackles turned into golden hoops and flew into his hands, and he tilted his head and stuffed it into his ears.
"Let's go, go to the front house!" Xuanzang waved his hand to extinguish the candle in the house, and then walked out first.
At this moment, the moon had just emerged from the dark clouds, and the light cast down, illuminating his head a little, and standing out in the dim back house.
muttered the title of Bajie in his mouth, and for no reason thought of a ballad from an anime in his previous life.
"Eight precepts, eight precepts, the heart is not bad......"
