"Master." As soon as he saw Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie cried and roared, rushed over and touched and pinched Tang Seng's body, and asked, "Master, are you a real person or a soul?" ”

"Where does Bajie speak, of course he is a real person as a teacher." Tang Seng said with a smile.

"Master, if you are a real person, where did this head buried in the grave come from? Even the fiery eyes of the senior brother have been hidden. Zhu Bajie still said with a skeptical face.

"Isn't that easy?" Zhang Yuan, who was standing next to him, interjected, "The Leopard Demon King first looked for something to transform into a fake head of Elder Tang, and then took a few drops of blood from Elder Tang's body and smeared it on it, even if Sun Xingzhi's fiery eyes were sharp, he couldn't tell whether it was true or false." ”

"Wukong, fortunately there is Zhang Yuan's donor present, otherwise, the teacher would have been steamed by that old monster by now." Tang Seng said.

"Really?" Sun Wukong was startled when he heard this.

"When did the teacher deceive you, the monster caught the teacher and returned to the cave, so he asked the little demons to wash the pot and make a fire, put the teacher in the pot and steamed it to eat, fortunately Zhang Yuan didn't find a reason, the old monster tied the teacher to the tree, Zhang Yuan took an opportunity, killed the four little demons who guarded the teacher, and escaped from the back door with the teacher."

Sun Wukong looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Who are you?" ”

Zhang Yuan didn't answer Sun Wukong's words, but looked at Tang Seng, smiled slightly, and said, "Elder Tang, why don't you tell me how you escaped when you were in the Lion Camel Cave?" ”

"Lion's Camel Cave?" Tang Seng pondered for a moment, then sighed and said: "At that time in the lion camel cave, Wukong killed the blue-haired lion monster, and chased the yellow-toothed old elephant out of the hole, three rat demons hiding in the shadows, they wanted to take the opportunity to eat me and escape, just at the time of crisis, there was a monster that looked like a dragon and lion bird, killed three rat demons, and saved me. ”

Hearing Tang Seng's words, Sun Wukong was directly shocked into a cold sweat.

At that time, I only wanted to kill the old elephant with yellow teeth as soon as possible, but I didn't expect that there were still a few rat demons hidden in the cave, and the master who killed him almost lost his life, which was really careless.

"Sun Xingzhi, together with Elder Zhu and Elder Sha, protect Elder Tang in the West Heaven to learn the scriptures, if I hadn't rescued him twice, Elder Tang would have already returned to the West Heaven, and this scripture would definitely not be taken." Zhang Yuan said.

"So, the dragon and lion bird that saved the master in the lion camel cave is also you? Are you a human, a demon, or a god? Why can't I feel your breath or see yourself? Sun Wukong asked.

Zhang Yuan was protected by the magic circle formed by the chaotic Xuanhuang Qi in the Ten Thousand Spirits Law Realm, and Sun Wukong naturally couldn't see his true body.

"Sun Xingzhi, you just know that I saved Elder Tang twice, it doesn't matter if I am a human or a demon or a god. Just like the three elders, as a demon, they protect Elder Tang from the West Heaven to learn scriptures, and now it is not clear whether you are a demon or a god or a Buddha. Zhang Yuan said.

"Brother Monkey, what Zhang Yuan said makes sense, you are a stone monkey demon, making trouble in the heavens and not knowing how many evil things you have done. Although I used to be the canopy marshal of the Heavenly Court, I later became a pig demon, and as for Senior Brother Sha, after not being a general of the shutter, I became a water monster in the Tongtian River. Senior Brother Sha and I have also done a lot of murder and cannibalism. Later, we were all enlightened by the Bodhisattva and embarked on the right path, protecting the master to go to the west to learn scriptures, but now I really can't tell whether the demon is a god or a Buddha. ”

"I didn't expect you to be a nerd, but you realized some truth." When Sun Wukong heard this, he opened his mouth to praise, but he still had a lot of questions in his heart, looked at Zhang Yuan and asked, "Let me ask you something, why do you always follow us?" Do you have the heart to protect the master with us and go to the west to learn the scriptures? ”

"Haha." Zhang Yuan smiled and said: "Sun Xingzhi, protecting Elder Tang Xitian to learn scriptures is the important task entrusted to you by the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva, I have not been enlightened by the Bodhisattva, where can I be qualified to protect Elder Tang Xitian to learn scriptures?" I'm just an idler, walking the world as I like, and when I have time, I will kill a few evil demons and eliminate a few fierce demons, and take care of the injustices in the world, that's all. ”

"Your words, so good that my grandson is envious, this free and easy day, since my grandson kept up with the master, he can no longer live." Sun Wukong said.

"Elder Tang, this place is not far from Lingshan, there will be many tribulations ahead, I hope to take care, I take my leave." After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he saluted Tang Seng according to the etiquette of a Terran monk, and was about to leave.

"Walk slowly." Sun Wukong said suddenly.

Zhang Yuan looked at Sun Wukong, "What else does Sun Xingzhi have to say?" ”

"My grandson is most afraid of owing favors, you saved my master in danger twice, there must be a reward, otherwise I will feel uneasy." Sun Wukong said.

Zhang Yuan smiled, "Sun Xingzhi is serious, I saved Elder Tang, but I just took advantage of the situation and didn't ask for anything in return." Besides, I've always been lazy, and if you give me a lot of things, I don't bother to take them with me. ”

"My grandson is a poor man, even if he wants to give you something, he is powerless, I have an idea, I don't know if you are willing?" Sun Wukong said.

"Sun Xingzhi said to hear it."

"I would like to worship you as a brother, if you become my brother, saving my master is the right thing now, so I will be at ease." Sun Wukong said with a sincere face.

Zhang Yuan was overjoyed.

If you can be a brother with Sun Wukong, it is equivalent to establishing a solid relationship with him, which will be beneficial to your future work.

However, Zhang Yuan still deliberately made some thoughts.

Sun Wukong looked at him with an eager face, for fear that he would refuse.

"Oh, Zhang Yuan, don't think about it, although my brother monkey has a rough temper, but he is righteous and loyal, if you swear brother with him, he will sacrifice his life to help him when he encounters difficulties in the future, you quickly agree to him!" Zhu Bajie urged.

"Donor, since Wukong has this thought, you can agree to him! In this way, my heart will be at ease, otherwise, I really don't know how to repay the two life-saving graces. Tang Seng said.

"Okay!" Zhang Yuan seems to have finally made up his mind.

"Great."

Hearing Zhang Yuan's promise, Sun Wukong hurriedly waved his hand, transformed into three pillars of incense, and then twisted the trick to cast a spell, conjured a fire, lit the incense, inserted it on a pile of soil, and knelt down first.

Zhang Yuan knelt beside Sun Wukong.

"I, Sun Wukong, today and Zhang Yuan are brothers, we must live and die together, share weal and woe, and never betray."

"I, Zhang Yuan, today and Sun Wukong are brothers, I must live and die together, share weal and woe, and never betray."

After the two finished taking the oath, they kowtowed three times together.

After standing up, Zhang Yuan looked at Sun Wukong and shouted, "Brother." ”

Sun Wukong looked at Zhang Yuan and shouted, "Brother." ”

"Haha, great, Zhang Yuan, since you call Brother Monkey, hurry up and call me brother." Zhu Bajie said.

Zhang Yuan gave a salute to Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng and shouted: "Brother Bajie, Brother Sha Seng." ”

"Good, good." Zhu Bajie laughed and said, "My old pig was greedy for Brother Monkey's advantage today, and picked up a good brother for nothing." ”

"I was also greedy for the big brother's advantage and picked up a good brother." Sha Seng followed.

"Elder Tang, three elder brothers, I still have some things to do, so I'll leave."

After Zhang Yuan finished speaking, he saluted everyone and headed towards the east.
