Chapter Seventy-Three: The Horse
In the middle of the night, Zhu Bajie's mind kept appearing with the intoxicated look of Senior Brother Xiong during the day, and his heart seemed to be loaded with a string, and he was scratched by the cat's paws, which was really itchy.
Tossing and turning, tossing and turning, sleepless.
At this moment, I suddenly saw a thief's shadow reflected in the window, tiptoeing through the corridor.
Zhu Bajie's heart flashed with curiosity, and he quietly got out of bed and pushed the door open to follow.
As soon as I went out, I saw a white horse standing up, with a cloth pocket on his feet that he didn't know where to find, a large black cloth cloak, and a black mask on the horse's face, as if he was afraid that others would recognize it.
Zhu Bajie didn't laugh out loud, tried to cover his mouth, his body trembled violently, and the pig's face was red.
This white dragon horse seems to have been knocked stupid, and there is a wrong tendon in his head, so why don't you use a magic or a trick to hide your eyes, and learn what kind of Jianghu guests wear night clothes.
Although your dress covers the horse's feet, who does that figure want to deceive?
Are all the Taoist children here blind?
This Xiaobai must have been hammered in the head by the master before, and his nerves are not normal......
As soon as his ears twitched, Bailongma heard the voice behind him, and when he turned around, he saw Zhu Bajie covering his mouth and smiling.
The white dragon horse was startled at first, then rolled his big eyes, and leaned forward to the thief to make a gesture of eating.
Then he raised his front leg and pointed in the direction of the backyard, and then patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder with the horse's hooves.
It looks like there are blessings and hardships together.
The meaning of this is self-evident, this little white horse actually instigated his old pig to steal other people's fruits to eat.
Zhu Bajie hesitated, no matter how he said that he was also the generalissimo of Tianpeng in his previous life, how could he do this kind of thing of roosters and dogs?
After paying attention, Zhu Bajie whispered: "Xiaobai, you can't be authentic like this, although I am greedy, lustful, and loves to sleep, I am also a good gentleman, I will leave my words here today, even if I die of thirst, even if I starve to death, I will not steal other people's fruits to eat!"
The white dragon horse glanced at Zhu Bajie with disdain, and then made a silent sound, groped from the cloak for a while, and took out a golden hammer and shook it in front of Zhu Bajie's eyes.
Good fellow, even the tools for committing the crime are ready!
"Ahem...... That, although my old pig doesn't approve of you stealing, but as a senior brother, you must take the wind for you, otherwise if you are caught, it will be a loss to our master's face, isn't it?" Zhu Bajie looked like a good brother of Buddhism, and explained seriously.
"Hurry up, hurry up, this little boy should be asleep, it's not good if it's too late!"
The white dragon horse was about to make a gesture of contempt, but found that he couldn't do it at all, and before he could make a good mockery of the pig's head, he was pushed out of the corridor in a hurry.
Zhen Yuanzi was in retreat in a secret room, a smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, and with a wave of his hand, the forbidden formation in the backyard was automatically opened.
I was thinking about how to design to embarrass the person who learned the scriptures, but I didn't expect these two guys to directly find trouble for themselves.
That night, the Taoist children slept very peacefully.
Zhu Bajie was originally in the courtyard to control the wind, but when he saw the clumsy appearance of the white dragon horse, he couldn't help but step forward to help, the white dragon horse held the plate under the tree, and then, Zhu Bajie climbed the tree to knock down the fruit.
The two didn't dare to knock more, so they only got two, and then quickly stopped and left.
Under the canopy of the big tree, the two squatted in the corner of the courtyard, squinting and enjoying themselves.
"Tut-tut, this ginseng fruit is still the most delicious to chew and swallow slowly!" Zhu Bajie's body shivered from time to time, and it seemed to be extremely refreshing.
The white dragon horse bit off a small section of ginseng fruit, squinted and tasted it, and after a while, the breath on the white dragon horse's body rose, and the cultivation actually broke through a realm.
After returning the golden hammer and the jade tray, the white dragon horse returned to the stable, pretending that nothing had happened, squinting and resting.
Zhu Bajie also quietly went back to his room and slept contentedly.
Sun Wukong muttered next door, "This idiot, where did you go on the big night!"
If it was in an ordinary place, Sun Wukong would definitely be able to find out what this pig's head had done, but in Wuzhuang Temple, there were formations that restricted divine consciousness everywhere, and Sun Wukong, who was concentrating on cultivation, did not find out what happened just now.
————————————————
Early the next morning, the Taoist boy who was in charge of taking care of the ginseng fruit tree began to cry.
"Master, it's not good, there was a thief in the backyard last night, and there were two less ginseng fruits!" Dao Tong hurriedly rushed out of the backyard, knelt on the ground and cried.
At this time, Xuanzang and the others had just finished drinking morning tea and were about to get up and say goodbye and go on the road, but something like this happened.
Zhen Yuanzi Daxian frowned, made an angry look, and asked, "You boy, how do you look at the backyard, can't you hear movement when you enter the thief at night?"
"Master, it's all my fault for sleeping too deeply, I wanted to refine my qi and meditate last night, but I was mentally tired for no reason, and I fell asleep, it's all my fault!" Dao Tong knelt on the ground and cried non-stop.
Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand and held up the boy with mana, "It's no wonder that you should catch that thief, holy monk, I don't know what you think?"
"It must have been these monks who took advantage of the night to steal the fruit, and in vain we Guan Ju treated you as good friends, and it is immoral to do so!" a Taoist boy standing next to him accused.
Another Taoist boy was also indignant: "Senior Brother Yun Sui has always been alert at night, but last night he felt tired, it must be the thief who has used some method of ecstasy, it's just ......."
Zhen Yuanzi hurriedly waved his hand to stop the foul language that Dao Tong was about to blurt out next, "Tong'er, stop talking, and see what the holy monk has to say!"
"Amitabha, in this view, there are a few outsiders who can't escape the crime, and the poor monk will find out the person who stole the fruit and hand it over to the great immortal for punishment!"
Xuanzang vaguely guessed who did it in his heart, and looked at Zhu Bajie, who was hiding behind the crowd and counting ants with his head down.
"Bajie, do you have anything to explain about this matter?" Xuanzang asked lightly, his tone was as usual, but Zhu Bajie instinctively felt a little scared.
Zhu Bajie flattened his mouth, and said boldly: "That master, my old pig also went to bed early last night, and I don't know anything!"
"I really don't know?"
Saying this, Xuanzang raised his hand.
When Zhu Bajie saw this gesture, his temples jumped suddenly, feeling that a big crisis was coming.
"Master, I remember!" Zhu Bajie raised his head, his face a little unnatural.
Xuanzang put down his hand and raised his eyebrows: "Oh?
"My old pig saw the white dragon horse thief go to the backyard last night, it may be that this horse stole other people's fruits!" Zhu Bajie said with an oath, his eyes a little evasive.
"Xiong Er, go and bring the white dragon horse to confront you!"
"Yes, Master!"
Soon, Xiong Likui led the white dragon horse to the main hall.
The horse's face had a blank expression, and he looked around, looking ignorant and innocent.
"Ma'er, Bajie said that you went to the backyard last night to steal other people's fruits, is that true?"
When the white dragon horse heard this, the expression on the horse's face became wonderful, and he wanted to deny it at first, but when he heard that the one who betrayed him was the accomplice who stole the ginseng fruit together last night, he couldn't help but be furious.
Under the explosion of mentality, I no longer want to deny and conceal it.
The person stood up, his eyes glared at Zhu Bajie angrily, and he kept hissing, as if to say, you are a pig's head, and you actually betrayed me, it is really shameless.
Zhu Bajie was slightly sweaty on his forehead, and his heart was weak, but his expression was maintained very well, and he still looked bright.
"Horse, although the Bodhisattva has asked you to turn into a horse body to atone for your sins, but the situation is special at this time, you can take on a human form to explain, and I think the Bodhisattva will not blame you. Xuanzang said with a straight face.
When Bailongma heard this, he bowed to Xuanzang as if he was amnesty, and after a burst of white light, he turned into a handsome young man in white.
Xiao Bailong had a bitter face, pointed at Zhu Bajie and said: "Master, wronged, it was this dead pig who instigated me, he also went to steal the fruit last night, and he actually wanted me to take the blame myself, it is simply not a son of man, I know it is wrong, but this pig's head is also involved!"
"Master spares his life, this Xiaobai is spewing blood, last night he took a golden blow to go to the backyard, I just happened to bump into it, and was fooled by it, he is the mastermind!" Zhu Bajie couldn't stand it anymore, and knelt in front of Xuanzang as soon as his legs were weak.
He had seen the power of Master's fist, and at this time, when he thought of that terrifying punch, his heart trembled.
"Master, my old pig was also scared just now so I didn't admit it, I know it's wrong, I'm just an accomplice, please Master and this great immortal let me go this time!"
"Master, don't listen to his nonsense, this pig's head has long been plotting against that ginseng fruit, even if I don't go last night, he himself will definitely not be greedy to steal a few to eat, and I dissuaded him so that he only beat two, otherwise, I am afraid that the dozens of fruits will be ruined by him!"
"Xiaobai, don't spew blood, obviously you went to the corridor first!"
......
The two of them looked at me and said a word, and then they actually fought in the hall, although they didn't use their mana, but they also beat each other with blue noses and swollen faces.
Everyone also understood what happened, and the feeling was that these two gluttons hit it off last night and stole the ginseng fruit, and then Bajie wanted to buckle the black pot on the head of the little white dragon.
The Taoist boy on the side sneered: "You two monks really don't know what to do, and it is already benevolent and ......righteous to send four to you to eat yesterday."
"Okay Tong'er, let the holy monk solve this matter by himself!" Zhen Yuanzi's expression was indifferent, and he directly threw the problem to Xuanzang.
"You two stop, what kind of arguing here, since you have done something wrong, you should admit your mistake, and you still don't give Daxian a head to admit your mistake?" Although Xuanzang did not show anger on his face, his tone was very cold.
Listening to the master's words, the movements of the two stopped instantly, patted the folds on their bodies, and respectfully kowtowed to Zhen Yuanzi three times.
"Please forgive the Great Immortal!"
Zhen Yuanzi glanced at Xuanzang unexpectedly and pinched his eyebrows.
It's so interesting that this learner has thrown this problem back!
"That's it, since you sincerely admit your mistakes, go to the backyard and use mana to nourish the innate soil in the backyard for a day!" Zhen Yuanzi waved his hand, and then looked at Xuanzang, "Holy monk, this seat still has a request, if you can agree, I will forgive you two apprentices, after all, stealing ginseng fruit is not a misdemeanor in this Wuzhuang view!"
Xuanzang vaguely guessed something, but asked quietly on the surface: "I don't know what Daxian wants?"
