132 A reed crosses the river
When Xiong Zhen saw that there were only some chicken heads and butts left, he didn't dislike grabbing them and eating them. Du Chen looked at these apprentices with a smile, and after eating, they returned to the tent to rest for the night.
In the early morning of the second day, after a few people got up, they ate some dry food, and Du Chen looked at the turbulent river. Su Wukong next to him said at this time: Master, this river is wide and there is no ferry, how to get there!
Du Chen smiled: Don't you all have the art of flying? Sun Wukong said: We can fly over, but the master is still a mortal in the flesh. We can't carry it!
Du Chen said with a smile: You take care of the past, and you have your own way to be a teacher. The brothers were also curious, although the master was a mortal who knew some martial arts, how could he cross the eight-hundred-mile quicksand river.
No matter how high a mortal's martial arts are, no matter how strong his attack power is, he is only a physical mortal. Who can perform light skills, but the distance of 800 miles is not a light function.
Several apprentices have used the flying technique of flying through the clouds and fog, and when they came to the sky, several people looked back at Du Chen. I saw Du Chen slowly come to the river, stretch out his hand to pick off the reeds, and throw them at him.
Leaping into the air, he stepped onto the reeds with a somersault, and his body sped forward like an arrow from the string. Sun Wukong and the others were shocked when they saw this situation, and the speed of the master's progress had already caught up with the speed of their clouds.
At that moment, several people flew forward with all their strength, and after flying for a while, they heard a roar. Looking down, the master Tang San was hiding behind him, as if he was equipped with an engine, spraying streams of water and moving forward at a high speed.
In an instant, they had caught up with a few people, and now they flew towards the other side of the river with all their might. A figure on the surface of the water sped past the river, leaving only a long trail of water and waves.
In a few breaths, a figure came to the opposite shore. Due to inertia, a long trench was plowed into the ground before he stopped.
And the second one who jumped to the shore was a Monkey King who fell on his head, and then the remaining three people also lowered their heads one after another. Sun Wukong stepped forward and said: The speed of the master's light skill is so fast, it has caught up with my old grandson's somersault cloud.
Du Chen said with a smile: This is a mundane martial art practiced for the teacher, called "crossing the river with a reed". After the improvement of the teacher, it has far surpassed ordinary martial arts, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is a supernatural power.
Sun Wukong hurriedly said: The master is really a great talent, and all ordinary martial arts can be improved into a power equivalent to the power of immortal magic. If the master can cultivate immortals in the future, then he will not become a Dao ancestor-like existence.
Zhu Bajie and others also echoed: Yes, master, the one who can compare with Dao Ancestor throughout the ages is the legendary existence. It seems that in the future, if the master of fate walks on the immortal path, it is not impossible to catch up with that existence!
When Du Chen heard the words of several people, he suddenly felt strange and asked: Where is the existence that can compare to Dao Ancestor? Why have I never heard of it?
Sun Wukong and Xiong Zhen also shook their heads blankly and said that they had not heard of it, and then the little white dragon Ao Lie walked up to Du Chen and whispered: When I was a child, I heard the elders in the family mention it once, saying that since the time when Nuwa created people, there was a human ancestor.
By chance, he met the Tongtian Sect Master who traveled through the flood wilderness, and became the second personal disciple under the Duobao Dao people. Later, this existence cultivated a thousand miles in a day, far surpassing the Duobao Dao people at that time, and became the first person under the saint.
Later, this existence broke through the legendary Mixed Yuan Daluo Jin Immortal and became the first Dao Saint in the Flood Wilderness to preach the Tao with his strength. In the end, it was for the sake of intercepting the sect and the entire human race and fighting the Dao Ancestor.
In the end, he blew himself up and died with Dao Ancestor, some people say that he has completely fallen, and some people say that he will return to the flood wilderness. No one knows how.
When Du Chen heard this, there were huge waves in his heart, why had he never heard of such a person in the wilderness. Isn't this the Journey to the West world as I know it?
Thinking of this, Du Chen said: I didn't expect that there would be such a peerless person, because he was lonely and unheard of. What happened to Hongjun Daozu after the self-explosion?
At this time, Zhu Bajie continued: Legend has it that Dao Ancestor was seriously injured and injured because of the self-explosion of that existence. has been hidden in the depths of Hongmeng, but there is a great ability to guess that Daozu Hongjun has been secretly meddling in the affairs of the Hongmeng.
Some people even speculate that this Journey to the West tribulation was planned by Daozu. After hearing this, Du Chen seemed to think of something, and his hair stood upside down.
I thought to myself: If the Journey to the West Tribulation was planned by Dao Ancestor, then it is possible that Dao Ancestor will eventually recover his strength with the help of the calamity and causal power of this Tribulation. At that time, the creatures in this desolation will probably have to live to the end.
In addition, I have read books about the flood in my previous life, and I guess that these catastrophes are all Hongjun's conspiracy. I want to take the opportunity to fuse the Heavenly Dao and then encroach on humanity, and finally destroy the Underground Dao.
At that time, the entire flood was in his hands, and in the end, he fused and integrated the flood to achieve the position of Hongmeng Holy Venerable. What a deep calculation, what a big game of chess!
Although he guessed this conspiracy in his heart, Du Chen did not tell a few apprentices. It's not that I don't believe them, but it's useless to say it, the highest cultivation of a few people is only a big Luo Jin Immortal, and there is not even a quasi-saint.
Even if they tell them, they can't make any big waves, but the doubt in Du Chen's heart is who is that legendary character? At first, Du Chen thought it was that Rahu, but later listened to the apprentices' stories and rejected this speculation.
Moreover, it is possible that Rahu has been reincarnated as a heavenless Buddha at this time, so this existence is someone else. If you don't understand, you don't think about it anymore, and continue to go west with a few people.
It's a leisurely swing along the way, so it's not pleasant. Sometimes enjoying the flowers and scenery, sometimes catching butterflies and birds, the group walked for three or four days unconsciously. On this day, the people came to a place in the mountains.
Looking up, I saw that there was a manor house in front of the pine forest, and its appearance was magnificent and magnificent, and it was not an ordinary family. But see: the door hangs down and the cypress is down, and the house is close to the green hills.
A few pines are rising, and several stems are spotted. The wild chrysanthemum on the edge of the fence is frosty, and the orchid on the side of the bridge reflects the water dan. Plastered walls, brick enclosure. The high hall is magnificent, and the building is very clear. The cattle and sheep are not seen, there are no chickens and dogs, and I think it is the autumn harvest and the farming is idle.
Zhu Bajie was immediately overjoyed when he saw it: Hehe! When I met a rich man, it seems that I can have a good rest tonight. Du Chen looked at the manor in front of him and secretly thought: The next difficulty in the quicksand river is the "Four Saints Test Zen Heart".
Turning his head to Sun Wukong, he said: Wukong, do you see anything different here?
Sun Wukong looked up, there was nothing wrong with the peace and tranquility here. Instead, the mana gathered his eyes, and he used his fiery eyes to look at the manor here, but saw that the entire manor was filled with a peaceful and tranquil divine aura.
So he said to Du Chen: Master! This place is full of divine aura, and it may be that the people in this Zhuangzi have something to do with the great sage. But there is no evil spirit found here, but it is okay to spend the night.
Du Chen secretly said that this Sun Wukong's fiery eyes are really not simple, it seems that this Taishang Laojun has invested in Sun Wukong's body. can l refine Sun Wukong into a pair of fiery eyes, you can imagine how many genius earth treasures have been used.
While speaking, several people had already come to the gate of the manor, Sun Wukong stepped forward to knock on the door, and after a while, a middle-aged woman's voice came: Who is knocking on the door outside?
Du Chen replied: The little monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern part of the country, and he was ordered to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. Passing by the treasure land, I saw that it was too late to borrow the female Bodhisattva's mansion to stay overnight.
The middle-aged woman opened the door and said with a smile: The elder is polite, please come in and speak, and then everyone followed the middle-aged woman into the door.
Zhu Bajie looked up and was immediately amazed by this woman, only to see that this woman was wearing a gold-weaving official green silk jacket, covered with light red armor; Tie a colorful goose yellow brocade skirt with high-soled floral shoes reflected underneath.
The lower bun on the hip is soapy and gauze, contrasting with the two-color disc dragon hair; The palace-like tooth comb is Zhu Cuihuang, and there are two strands of red gold hairpins obliquely. Cloud sideburns and half-cang, flying phoenix wings, earrings and double pendant beads; The fat powder is still beautiful, and the romance is still like a young talent.
Du Chen saw Zhu Bajie's eyes staring directly at the woman, and Zhu Bajie came back to his senses in an instant with a light cough. As the woman came to the parlor, the guests were seated.
The woman gave instructions to the maid, and after a while, a maid carried a golden plate and a white jade cup, on which the fragrant tea was pleasantly fragrant. The color of the exotic fruit is bright, and it is like taking a bite at a glance.
At this time, looking at the fruit on the table, Zhu Bajie and Xiong Zhen were startled, and grabbed them and ate them in their mouths. The crisp and fragrant click, the fruit is extremely sweet and melts in the mouth. A wonderful taste fills the mouth instantly.
Du Chen also took a bite, it was indeed delicious. Said to the woman: Mrs. Gao's surname? Where is this?
The woman said: This is the land of Xiniu Hezhou, the little woman's family name is Jia, and her husband's family name is Mo. Unfortunately, her in-laws died early when she was young, and she inherited the ancestral business with her husband, and she had thousands of family assets and thousands of acres of fertile land.
It's a pity that he didn't have a child, and only gave birth to three girls. The year before last, her husband unfortunately fell seriously ill and died in less than half a month. Leaving me, an orphan and widow, to inherit this family fortune, I have no relatives and I am a woman.
Unable to support this huge family business, seeing that the elders happened to spend the night here, maybe this is fate. The little woman and the four girls intend to sit on the mountain to recruit husbands, and the four elders happen to be here It is a match made in heaven, I don't know what to do?
Du Chen was silent when he heard this, but just looked at the woman intently. Seeing that Du Chen did not speak, the woman continued: There are more than 300 hectares of paddy fields, more than 300 hectares of dry fields, and more than 300 hectares of fruit trees in the mountains; There are more than 1,000 yellow buffaloes.
There are herds of mules and horses, and there are countless pigs and sheep; southeast, northwest, Zhuangbao grassland, a total of sixty or seventy; There is rice grain that has not been used for eight or nine years, and Ayara who has not been worn for more than ten years; There is gold and silver that cannot be used in a lifetime; Shengqiang is like the brocade tent Tibetan spring.
What to say about the two lines of gold hairpin; If your masters and apprentices are willing to change their minds, recruit in the Han family, be at ease, and enjoy the glory, but it is not as good as working in the west?
Seeing that Du Chen was still silent, the woman continued: I was born on the third day of the third month of the third month of the year of Ding Hai. My husband is three years older than me, and I am forty-five years old.
The eldest daughter's name is Zhenzhen, and she is twenty years old this year; The second daughter is named Aiai, who is eighteen years old this year; The three little girls are named Mercy, who is sixteen years old this year; I have never promised to marry anyone. Although the little woman is ugly, fortunately the little girl has a bit of color, and the female worker can do everything.
Because the husband had no children, he kept them as sons. When he was young, he also taught him to read some Confucian books, and he also knew how to read some poems. Although he lives in a mountain villa, he is not very vulgar or anything like that.
It is expected that he is also worthy of the rank of elders, if he is willing to let go of his arms, keep his head with long hair, and be a parent with his subordinates, wear silk and brocade, and win as strong as Nawa bowl and clothes, snowshoes and clouds!
Zhu Bajie next to him heard that the woman's family was so wealthy and wealthy, and said: I think it's just right, your three daughters are just right with my master and junior brother, and the monkey of the senior brother doesn't like this love, don't care about it.
If my sister doesn't dislike my old pig and is willing to tie the knot with you, lest my sister stay alone in the empty room every day. And Sun Wukong next to him was unusually quiet at this time, and he didn't make a sound when he was ridiculed by Zhu Bajie. Standing aside like a statue, he looked very nervous.
Du Chen finally spoke at this time and said: Madam, I am a little tired of running all the way, please arrange some rooms for the poor monks, and the rest of the matters will be discussed tomorrow.
When the woman saw Du Chen say this, she had no choice but to order someone to take a few people back to the guest room to rest. After a few people went down, the woman said to herself: It really looks like it! Is that you? Brother!
