After the little demons picked and selected all the objects in the cave, they burned the demon cave directly with a fire.

Smoke rose in the mountains, and I saw the demonic energy in the mountains gradually dissipate... Fahai under the mountain said to the old woman who was still not really at ease in the room: "Old mother, your son and daughter-in-law are about to come back. ”

When the old woman heard this, she hurriedly got up and walked out, and Fahai persuaded outside: "Old mother, don't be in a hurry, come slowly." ”

How can the old woman, who is worried about her son and daughter-in-law, slow down and walk out on crutches... In fact, her steps are not fast, but she is in a hurry.

"Mother-"

Let's say that the man came down from the mountain, and saw an old woman in front of the door from a distance, leaning on the firewood and looking around, even though he screamed in pain, he rushed over.

ran to the old woman and knelt down, and when her mother cried out, she hugged the old mother's head and refused to let go.

Although the old woman's eyes are not very good, but her ears are quite smart, as soon as she heard her son's voice, she couldn't help it immediately, gave the crutch in her hand, hurriedly protected her son's head, and cried: "My son ——, want to be a mother!"

The daughter-in-law also hurriedly followed in front of her, and the family of three hugged her head and cried.

"Amitabha." Seeing the family reunion, Fahai left tears of joy, so he recited the Buddha's name, and then said with a smile: "Fellow donors... Let's go home first. ”

He stepped forward, helped the man up, and asked the man to support his mother by the hand, and said on the side: "Ling Lang and his daughter-in-law are in danger in the mountains this time, and now they are in great trouble... The blessings are endless. ”

The old woman took her son and daughter-in-law's hands tightly, led them into the courtyard, and hurriedly asked him what had happened to them after they entered the mountain.

I heard that he was caught by the goblin, so he was rescued by the protection of this white dragon bodhisattva, otherwise his life would not be guaranteed.

Even if the old woman knew that her son and daughter-in-law were still alive, she was still frightened when she heard her son talk about the monsters in the mountains.

I also heard that the demon king in the mountain had been surpassed by the disciples of Master Sanzang, and those little demons were also subdued, so I gradually felt relieved.

Later, I learned that the two of them were worshiped by Master Sanzang's disciple Sun Dasheng as a teacher, and asked the two of them to kowtow a few more times to Master Sanzang and Master Sun Dasheng...

Such barren mountains and mountains, plus the two of them do have some spiritual roots, Wukong wants to teach them some skills, and Fahai naturally agrees.

Although it is said that when their master and apprentice see a rough road, they will help... But the Three Realms are so big, how can they see Hude coming over everywhere?

Even if a bodhisattva who has incarnated into 3,000 people, what he can take care of is only a drop in the ocean.

Moreover, Fahai always believes that whether it is seeking others or worshiping Buddha, people have to rely on themselves after all... In fact, this is true not only of human beings, but also of all beings in the Three Realms.

Therefore, this way to the west, he will let the little white dragon teach those ignorant little demons, and will also accept some demons as disciples... First, it can lead them to the right path; Second, they also want to use them to spread their own ideas.

It's for preaching.

One of the very important reasons why Sage Confucius's knowledge has a long history is that there are many talents under him, and there are even those who push through the old and bring forth the new.

After a while, there were still a group of little demons carrying furniture, firewood, and many melons and fruits down the mountain, and the last few also carried a lot of game, such as hares, pheasants, wild boars, etc.

That is, the old woman couldn't see their appearance clearly, and only felt that it was a figure shaking in front of her, and she only said that it was the disciples of Master Sanzang.

She had also heard it before, and Master Sanzang and his disciples were going to collect firewood and find wild vegetables.

The little demons put their things outside the courtyard, bowed to Master Sanzang a few times, and then dispersed...

Originally, the old woman was going to prepare a meal, but she was forcibly pressed on the chair by Bajie, "Grandma don't have to work hard, just let me go to the old pig... All the food that my master eats along the way, I am cooking. ”

It's really cold in the mountains.

Although some demons brought some food, there was still a lot of meat... But Bajie didn't care, so he picked a few ordinary wild vegetables, which could also make a feast.

The master and apprentice rested here for a few days, and did not rush westward.

First, the little demons in the mountains need to be carefully trained by the little white dragon, and secondly, because the skills of the little couple have not yet been learned... At this time, the great sage knew what a disaster it was to only teach skills and not to teach conduct, so he was very attentive.

Fahai couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, he was worthy of being a Monkey King, and he really lived up to the name of Monkey King.

It is inevitable to guess in my heart that if the current Monkey King goes to Lingshan and becomes a Buddha... What does it look like?

Thinking about it, he is still jealous and hateful, and he is anxious for justice and righteousness.

After the things here were settled, the master and apprentice set off for the west.

"The woodcutter said, looking at this road all the way to the west, it doesn't take thousands of miles to reach the Tianzhu realm." Bajiele smiled and said: "After following the master for so many years, this time it is finally coming to an end." ”

"Nerd." The Great Sage scolded with a smile, "The path of cultivation does not end at Lingshan? Even when you reach Lingshan, you are still far away. ”

For the ridicule of the senior brother, Bajie doesn't care, he is capable of this, when he first worshiped under the master, he may still have some energy, and he wanted to catch up, but then he thought clearly... It's not that I don't work hard, but the brothers and sisters are really from extraordinary backgrounds, but they are very ordinary.

is lazy by nature, and this comparison gradually gave birth to a rotten mind.

Fortunately, I also corrected my mentality in time, although it is not a hard practice, but it can be regarded as a step by step, which is very down-to-earth.

The Eight Precepts do not seek to practice to the realm of Senior Brother or Senior Brother Sha in just ten years, but only to be worthy of the Master's teachings, and they will feel at ease.

As for more... It's really hard for a strong man.

Fahai is also very aware of this, so he has never forced the Eight Precepts to practice excessively, as long as he can complete the cultivation tasks set for him every day, it is enough.

Disciples should teach students according to their aptitude, and the temperaments of the four disciples are different, and they cannot be carved out with a set of templates.

"Master, you don't know." The little white dragon who hadn't explored the way yet spoke: "The king of Nanshan in the Fog Hidden Mountain has also set up a skinning pavilion in the cave mansion, not only people, but all the meat is cooked there... It's cruel. ”

"Amitabha."

Fahai recited the Buddha's name.

He is not a sentimental person, there are people dying all the time in the Three Realms, many of them are dying at the hands of demons, but he just sighs that there is no end to manpower, and he can't help it.

Although the king of Nanshan was overdone, and the souls of those who died unjustly were also crossed, this heart was never a taste.

There are 1,000 miles to Tianzhu, but just outside Tianzhu, there are not only the exterminators of the Buddhist temple, but also the demon king of Zhanshan who designs to eat people... I really don't know what scriptures the Bodhisattvas and Buddhas of this spiritual mountain recited.

The Book of the Dead?

The avenue is deep and hides the universe.

But Fahai really didn't know how to survive the bliss of the world with the way of the current Lingshan.

The master and apprentice still walk during the day and practice at night.

Because of the imminent arrival in Tianzhu, the little white dragon also walked in front of the master, and unless he encountered a mountain and a long river blocking the way, he would not easily go to explore the way.

After a few days, he suddenly saw a city near it.

Bajie immediately shouted and said, "Master, look... There is a city ahead, could it be that Tianzhu Kingdom has arrived? ”

Fahai looked at it, he was also the first time to come, he didn't recognize it, he silently calculated the distance in his heart, and said: "I think I came to the territory of Tianzhu, and I haven't yet reached the capital of other countries." ”

Xiao Bailong asked the master, "Master, do you want the disciple to explore the path first?" ”

"No need." Fahai shook his head, and then said: "The human city in front of you is not the realm of demons, there is no need to explore the way, we have explained our identity, and we can enter the city directly." ”

There are really no demons here.

The Great Sage has also seen it with fiery eyes, it is a human city, which is very rare.

As for what exactly this place is, it's not too late to ask when you enter the city.

The five masters and apprentices arrived outside the city at a time, but there were no soldiers to stop them, and when they entered the three-story gate, they saw that the crowd of people gathered at the entrance of the city, making noise, and not letting each other go.

These chaotic sounds were in his ears, which made the great sage feel irritated in his heart, jumped into the crowd, and shouted: "Stay!" ”

This thunderous sound filled the ears, causing these people to stop their mouths together, only focusing their eyes on the great sage, and I don't know who took the lead in shouting: "Grandpa Lei!" ”

And then I couldn't stop it... The surrounding people worshipped one after another.

The Great Sage's face immediately turned dark.

"Hahaha-"

Bajie on the side couldn't help laughing, he liked to watch the senior brother eat deflated, especially this kind of dumb loss who couldn't fight back.

"Oops!"

Perhaps Bajie's laughter was too loud and more eye-catching, so a timid exclaimed: "The goblin is here!" The goblins are coming! ”

This exit also made everyone look in the direction of Bajie, and look at his appearance, isn't this a goblin?!

One by one, their bones were weak and numb, and they stumbled.

But a young man in a brocade robe came to their master and apprentice and forced him to calm down: "You goblins, don't you know that our Fengxian County is supported by Erlang Zhenjun?" How dare you come here to go wild?! ”

"Hey, young!" Bajie immediately smiled and said: "That's really a coincidence, we are a family, you Fengxian County needs to treat us well." ”

When the young man heard Bajie's words, he suddenly became angry: "You goblin cultivator's nonsense, who is the same family as you?" Let's go... Otherwise, the gods will be called, and you will lose your lives in vain. ”

"Go get one and take a look." Bajie is like hob meat, unmoved by his words.

"You... You guys... Don't be ignorant! ”

Peng!

Fahai used the nine-ring tin staff to shine on Bajie's head, making a crisp sound.

Bajie covered his head and squatted silently on the ground, wanting to rub it hard, but when his hand touched it, it hurt... It's funny at the moment.

The young man saw that Bajie, who looked so vicious, was subdued by the monk behind him, and he was still surprised in his heart, and when he didn't react in his mouth, he heard that the other party had already spoken first: "The poor monk is the monk who drove down to worship the Buddha of the Leiyin Temple of Tianzhu Country to learn scriptures, passing by the treasure party, one does not know the name of the place, and the other is not left behind, before entering the city, and he loses his avoidance, and the disciples are stubborn, and the place where he is disturbed, I hope that the prince will forgive his sins..."

When the young man heard this, he hurriedly said: "Don't dare, don't dare, it turns out to be a Tang monk... Please forgive the whole county for not being welcome. ”

The young man paused, and then said: "This is Tianzhu Outer County, and the place name is Fengxian County. The boy is the son of a local prince..."

After that, he said to the people gathered here: "Today is all dispersed, this county is going to entertain the Tang monks, and there is something to discuss tomorrow." ”

The people dispersed one after another, each with their own words, and it was still noisy, and the master and apprentice were all deaf and clear-sighted, although they listened to a few words scattered, but they also roughly summed up the beginning and the end.

Everyone followed the prince all the way back to the mansion.

I also learned that the marquis of Fengxian County is surnamed Shangguan, and he is a good official who loves the people like a son.

It is said that he is very upright and virtuous, and loves the people.

As for why the word "supposedly" is added in front, because these words are heard from the mouths of these little yamen, there are still some doubts. Coupled with the few gossips they had heard before, their master and apprentice knew that this Fengxian County was not as ordinary as it seemed.

This prince had already summoned the official to return first.

Before their master and apprentice arrived at the mansion, there was a county marquis who hurried to greet him, and he was not afraid of the ugliness of a few disciples under Master Sanzang, so he bowed when he saw it: "Xia Guan is the county marquis of Fengxian County, Shangguan clan, I have seen the master... Mage, please come inside. ”

After welcoming a few masters and apprentices in, and after taking a seat, he instructed the maid to prepare tea, and said: "I have long heard that the characters of the Tang Dynasty are very good, and now when I see the mage, I am really handsome." ”

"The elders have come from afar, and it's noon at this moment, so you must have not eaten yet, right?" This marquis didn't wait for the Sanzang master and apprentice to reply, even if he ordered the kitchen to fast...

Bajie's eyes suddenly lit up, and his heart said: This is a county marquis, and my old pig blesses your family with wealth and wealth.

The boy opened his mouth and asked, "Dare to ask the elders what are the precautions?" ”

"It's okay to eat a vegetarian diet, I won't drink alcohol." Xiao Bailong replied on behalf of the master.

Shaoqing fasted, everyone sat down, and the eight precepts swallowed the meal... Let the prince and his son also have a great appetite and eat happily.

Everyone fasted, and when they had cleaned up the tableware, Fahai asked carefully: "When I entered the city, I saw that the people in the city gathered in one place, making a lot of noise... I don't know what happened to make such a scene? ”

As soon as these words came out, the father and son of the county marquis all lowered their heads.

The master and apprentice glanced at each other, and said in their hearts: It really has something to do with their father and son.

"The mage is a newcomer, so he doesn't know. But this is also a well-known scandal in my county... If it weren't for the fact that the lower officials still had a little thin face, I am afraid that they would have no shame to stay here. ”

"Dad, it's all because his son is not angry, so he caused the trouble..."The yamen also opened his mouth to take the blame on himself.

"What's going on, why don't you make it clear?" The Great Sage was also interested.

Not only the Great Sage, but also his master and several junior disciples also looked at it together.

"Alas——!" The Marquis of Shangguan County sighed, his expression was quite melancholy, "This matter is a long story, it has to start from three years ago——"
