Several people were stunned when they heard this, and Sun Li asked: "Boatman, may I ask what is the origin of the 'camel and mule set'?" ”

The boatman said, "Don't listen to that guy's nonsense, lest you fall victim to his ways." ”

The men stopped talking, and the boat moved forward with the current. Sun Li thought to himself, and he didn't know when he would be able to reach the south of the South China Sea, and when he arrived, he didn't know if he could find the empty man, and he didn't know if the other party would help him. If none of this had happened, would you be reading at your desk, playing chess with your friends, or kicking a bow......

Sun Li's thoughts drifted away, and he sighed unconsciously.

Xiao Linglong said: "Benefactor doesn't have to sigh, since we know the direction of the goal, we will work hard to move forward, and the result will not be too bad." ”

Zhao Gan whispered: "That's it, you see me like this, and I haven't sighed yet." Cheer up, Brother Sun. ”

Sun Li heard Zhao Qian and Xiao Linglong say this, and felt a lot more relieved. He said, "Brother Zhao, what do you want to do most after we achieve our wishes?" ”

Zhao Qian said: "I haven't thought about this carefully, maybe I should go and ask my father first to remove all the duck dishes in the restaurant, hehehehehe." ”

"Little Linglong, what about you?" Sun Li asked again.

Xiao Linglong said: "I will find a place with beautiful mountains and rivers and inaccessible places to continue cultivating, and I should be able to become an immortal in another 35,000 years." ”

Sun Li and Zhao Qian said in unison: "Wow, it will take so long." ”

A few people were chatting, and suddenly heard the boatman say: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a 'fish in sorrow' not far ahead, you should prepare the toll." ”

Zhao Qian asked: "What is the place of 'fish seeing sorrow'?" How do I still pay for it? ”

The boatman replied: "When the river narrows to that vicinity, the current becomes faster, and there are many whirlpools and undercurrents, and the boaters are afraid to go there, calling that part of the waterway 'a fish is worried,' and they will be doubly careful." ”

Sun Li seemed to have an understanding: "I understand, when I get there, I have to burn some paper money, and ask the gods to bless the boat safely." ”

The boatman said: "No, no, I'm talking about real money, and I don't know when the narrowest place was stopped by someone with a bamboo pole. ”

"What's the difference between this and a robber, so that no one is going to report him?" Zhao Qian was indignant.

While talking, a colorful boat sailed by quickly, and the boatman shouted "give way", and the oars brought up a splash and landed on Xiao Linglong's clothes, but the boat was draped in red and green, and a small yellow flag was inserted in the stern of the boat, with the word "hatred" written on it.

Sun Li said: "This kind of person who drives a boat is really hateful. ”

Xiao Linglong said: "Whether it is riding a horse or rowing a boat, there are no more than two situations if there is no one around. ”

Sun Li asked, "Which two?" ”

Xiao Linglong replied: "One is that someone has died in the family and is busy running for funerals; The other is that his life is at the end of his life and he is in a hurry to be reincarnated. ”

Sun Li nodded while listening, and suddenly woke up: "Xiao Linglong, you accumulate some virtue, maybe people are really in a hurry." ”

Xiao Linglong said: "I'm not lying, I don't believe you." ”

Sun Li turned his head to look, the colorful boat stopped in the center of the river, the boatman hurriedly put on a red robe, lit firecrackers, looked up to the sky and laughed three times "hahaha", jumped into the water in a blink of an eye, and disappeared in an instant.

Zhao Qian was shocked: "Oh, it's really going to be reincarnated, no wonder it's so anxious." ”

After a while, the boat stopped, and Sun Li looked up and saw that the river was full of large and small boats, and the boatmen and passengers were all standing on the boats and waiting anxiously.

Sun Li asked, "Boatman, why are the ships blocked here?" ”

The boatman replied: "It would be wrong if it was not blocked, and it would be blocked in front of the 'fish sorrow', and a boat would be allowed to go after paying the money." ”

Zhao Qian complained: "This slow, when will it be able to reach the south of the South China Sea." ”

Sun Li said: "Brother Zhao Shao'an is not impatient, think about how many hours it took for Master Tang Sanzang to learn scriptures in the west, but in the end, he was indomitable and retrieved the true scriptures. ”

Xiao Linglong continued: "Speaking of Tang monks and apprentices learning scriptures in the west, I know a thing or two, I don't know if you want to hear it." ”

Sun Li and Zhao Qian couldn't help nodding with interest.

Xiao Linglong said: "When I was in heaven, I heard people say that the world was peaceful back then, and the people had enough food and clothing, but on the one hand, they lacked spiritual food, and at the same time, they had little respect for ghosts and gods. ”

So the South China Sea Bodhisattva sent an invitation to the gods, Buddhas, immortals and demons from all walks of life to jointly study how to boost people's morale and increase income. The participants sat down and talked eloquently, and sure enough, the sky was full of flowers and extraordinary. Seeing that the discussion was becoming more and more marginal, the Bodhisattva proposed that it would be better to work together to create a 'reality show'. ”

"Everyone thought it was very novel, it turned out that the Bodhisattva had already had a plan, he said that this is a large-scale real-life field adventure survival and monster show, looking for someone to set off from the east, across the continent to the west to retrieve the Buddhist scriptures. On the one hand, this prompts the people to face the hardships of the road, remember the bittersweet and cherish the current happy life; the second is to sweep away the demons and monsters along the way and benefit the general public; Three aspects to enhance the ability of the gods to coordinate and mobilize. ”

Zhao Gandao: "Promote Buddhism in four aspects, absorb believers, tsk, and make sure that you don't lose money." ”

Sun Li obstructed: "Brother Zhao, don't interrupt, let Xiao Linglong continue." ”

"The immortals and Buddhas have expressed their approval, but they have disputed over the selection of scriptures, and they don't know how many days and moons they have studied, and finally set a few standards - one is to have a mortal body, so that the true scriptures can be inspirational and inspiring; the second is to have a miserable life, so as to win the sympathy of the public; The third is to have a certain origin, and the mystery is attractive enough. In this way, Tang Seng was chosen. ”

"Tang Seng is a mortal, he lost his father before he was born, and he is also known as the reincarnation of the golden cicada, these are all in line, it is simply tailor-made." Zhao Qian muttered quietly.

"After the selection of Tang Seng, the queen mother, Chang'e and the fairies led by a faction suddenly attacked, they asked to add a beautiful young woman to Tang Seng, not limited to childhood sweethearts or love at first sight, in short, to learn from the experience and love at the same time."

"It's no wonder that the Queen Mother of the West and Mu Tianzi, Chang'e and Houyi, the Weaver Girl and the Cowherd, etc., all believe in love." Sun Li meditated.

But this proposal was immediately met with strong opposition from a group of old immortals, who believed that learning from the scriptures was a big matter and should not be mixed with the personal feelings of their children. Among them, Rulai reacted the most violently, he was so angry that he kicked over the lotus platform, claiming that if Tang Seng found a female companion to learn scriptures, he would blow up Lingshan, burn Buddhist scriptures, and return his hair to the world. ”

"Everyone hurriedly reconciled from it, and it took a lot of lips and tongues, and finally agreed not to give Tang Seng a female companion, but whenever you meet a woman, fairy, fairy and ghost on the road, you have to fall in love with him."

Zhao Qian sighed: "I didn't expect that there was such a secret behind it. ”

However, Tang Seng did not attract much attention after he went on the road, for the simple reason that the common people did not care where a monk went, which could be very bad for the gods. Everyone closed the door and sat down for a meeting to figure out a solution, and finally came up with a new plan, which is what everyone saw later. ”

"The immortals set up a controversial scripture-learning team for Tang Seng, and tried every means to create all kinds of difficulties for the master and apprentice - sending the apprentices, mounts, and everything else out to occupy the mountain as the king, occupy the river to make trouble, and harass the normal life of the common people - muddy the water, anyway, every level is set, and the master and apprentice just need to go through the motions. But in order to highlight the effect of the show, everyone hid from Sun Wukong, because he needed his most authentic performance to meet everyone's needs for monkeys. ”

Sun Liwu said: "No wonder Sun Wukong didn't work later, he must have seen it." ”

Zhao Gan said: "The storyteller in my restaurant said "Journey to the West", he said it quite interestingly, saying that Tang Seng's subordinates are all released from prison, one is that they are all brave and ruthless guys, and the other is that they have been out of touch with society for a long time, and social relations have basically been cut off. ”

"Another one, they are all enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva, which is equivalent to saying that they are Bodhisattvas, and their waists are very hard. So no matter where you go, the momentum is always not bad. ”

Sun Li said: "There is still some truth. ”

Zhao Gan's eyes rolled and said: "Brother Sun, I will test you, the gods and Buddhas in the sky, who can beat Sun Wukong, who can't beat Sun Wukong?" ”

Sun Li said: "This ...... It doesn't seem to be listed in the book. ”

Zhao Qian said with a smile: "Hahahaha, reading should be combined with actual life, you just have to see how they call Sun Wukong, those who can't beat are called 'Great Sage', and those who can beat are called 'Monkey Head', hehehe." ”

Sun Li unconsciously said: "If you think about it, it does make sense. Hahaha. ”

Xiao Linglong also laughed.

As he spoke, the boats slowly moved forward in a line, and finally came to the front of the gate, where a bamboo pole with a thick bowl mouth was stretched across the river. But when he saw a table and a bowl on the riverbank, and a rather fat young man sitting on a bamboo chair next to him, he knocked on the bamboo pole with a bamboo pole and asked him to pay the money. The copper coin filled the bowl with a "bang", and he climbed onto the table and lifted the bamboo pole to let it go.

Zhao Qian said: "Look at this one is a bamboo pole and a bowl, and he is a person who wants to eat." ”

The boatman said: "How can you be so tough when you ask for food, you can give him the river crossing fee." ”

Zhao Qian said: "Isn't this an authentic rip-off? ”

Sun Li took out some copper coins and handed them over with both hands: "This big brother, it's convenient." ”

Perhaps hearing Zhao Gan's complaints, the person in charge did not move. Instead, he said lazily: "There are pets on board, you have to pay more." ”

With the lesson of Dafeng County, Sun Li felt that there was no need to make more trouble, so he looked at Xiao Linglong, and Xiao Linglong nodded knowingly. I saw her pick up the iron kettle for boiling water, open the lid and scoop half a pot of water from the river, secretly recite the mantra, and then find out her "Three Realms Lotus Demon Bowl". Xiao Linglong pointed the iron kettle at the bowl and slowly poured water into it, but what poured out was not river water, but something like yellow sand.

Xiao Linglong said: "This bowl of gold sand is for you, please lift the bamboo pole and let the boats pass." ”

The young man took the bowl, pinched out a pinch of gold sand and observed it carefully, and then said, "Okay, refreshing, you wait a minute." ”

He jumped on the table and raised the bamboo pole and shouted, "Today someone has asked everyone to cross the river, and the boats can pass through quickly." ”

People clapped their hands and applauded, pulling their sails and rowing boats.

The man in charge invited Sun Li and others to go ashore, but Sun Li and others were very gracious and had to agree.
