The red boy was taken to Tang Seng and Ma by Zhu Bajie, and he kowtowed with tears in his eyes and said, "Thank you for the elder for saving your life!"

Tang Seng hurriedly dismounted, then floated him up, and then asked softly: "Child, do you have any other relatives at home?" If so, you can listen to me, and we will send you there." ”

The red boy hurriedly nodded and said: "My grandfather's house is in Shannan, the girl lives in Lingbei, and Li Si is my uncle, and Lin Nei Hongsan is my uncle, and my cousins and cousins all live in the village. ”

Zhu Bajie could see from the spell that he had just untied the rope that the red boy was not good at stubble, so he couldn't take him to walk, and there were more incidents on the road that ruined the matter of learning the scriptures, so he immediately hurriedly said: "Master, how many things can this little child know, and now that he asks these things, it's no worse, let's take him on the road and send him to his relatives earlier, so that he has a full meal." ”

Tang Seng thought about it, so he called: "Child, you follow me on the horse, and I will take you there." ”

The red boy said: "Master, my hands and feet are numb, and my waist and hips are painful. ”

Tang Seng asked Bajie to carry it, and the red boy wiped his eyes and said, "Master, I don't dare to ask this master to carry it." His mouth was long and his ears were big, and the back of his head was hard, which made me panic. ”

Tang Seng said: "Wujing, you come to carry him." ”

The red boy also wiped his eyes and said, "Master, when those thieves came to rob my house, they all wore flowers, fake beards, knives and sticks. I was frightened by him, and when I saw this unfortunate master, I lost my soul. I didn't dare to ask him to carry it. ”

Tang Seng saw that Gohan also looked like a black bear, more vicious than Zhu Bajie, this kid was afraid that he would not let him carry it, and Sun Wukong now had no golden hoop, and he didn't dare to call it, but he was a little embarrassed.

And Ma Fan saw everything in his eyes. He didn't know if Red Boy saw that he had the highest ability, and at this moment he didn't have the same idea of beating Sun Wukong as in the original book, but stared at him, and clearly showed that he wanted him to carry it, but he was a master of art and bold, and he was not afraid of what Red Boy would do, so he smiled and said: "How about I carry you?"

When the red boy heard this, he immediately showed a happy expression and said, "Thank you, big brother!"

Tang Seng said: "There is Brother Laoma!"

Ma Fan smiled: "It's just a small thing!"

Ma Fan's words fell, and he carried the red boy on his back. The red boy weighs about three or four pounds, much lighter than ordinary children, but this weight on Ma Fan's body is almost the same as any object, it is impossible to image Ma Fan at all, so Ma Fan smiled at Tang Seng and others: "Okay, you can go." ”

Tang Seng also nodded, then turned over and got on the horse and walked forward. Zhu Bajie, Wuhan, Sha Seng and several others immediately followed, and Ma Fan carried the red boy on his back and walked to Zuihou with two apprentices. Sun Wukong, who had always opened the way forward, also deliberately fell behind, followed Ma Fan's side, and distanced himself from Tang Seng.

After walking a short distance, Sun Wukong couldn't help but ask the red boy on Ma Fan's back: "You monster, what is the idea of following us to fight, do you want to eat the meat of the monk in front of you?"

Red Boy hurriedly said, "I'm not a monster. I am a son and daughter of a good family. ”

Sun Wukong sneered: "Come on, except for the mortal body on the horse, who can't see it, none of us can see that you are a monster, so don't pretend." ”

Hearing Sun Wukong say this, Wuya and Xiaoyao knew that this child was a monster. Both of them trembled slightly with fright, and involuntarily leaned behind Sun Wukong, looking at the red boy with frightened eyes.

Seeing the appearance of Wuya and Carefree, the red boy couldn't help but be amused, and said: "Although the two of them have poor cultivation, they always have cultivation by their side, and there are so many masters by their side, how can they be so timid?"

Hearing Red Boy ask like this, Ma Fan couldn't help but feel very ashamed, and Sun Wukong just said that except for Tang Seng, everyone can see that Red Boy is a monster, and suddenly two people dismantled the stage, although they are children, but this kind of performance makes him feel very ashamed.

Instead, he said: "It's not that we are cowardly, it's really monsters that are too terrifying!"

When the red boy heard this, he immediately asked suspiciously, "Aren't you two monsters?"

Ma Fan felt that it was necessary to stop this topic from continuing, otherwise his old face would be lost, so he said, "You should be the son of the Bull Demon King, Red Boy, right?"

When the red boy heard this, he asked in surprise, "Do you know me?"

Ma Fan said: "I've heard people talk about it. ”

The red boy said, "But I have changed my appearance, do you see that this is a dry pine stream, guessing?"

Ma Fan said with a smile: "The thirty-six changes of Tiangang are not your own, so how can you hide your little Taoism from my eyes, if you don't see that you are the son of the Bull Demon King, do you think you can still be in a good position now, and you will be carried by me?"

Red Boy said: "You can see through my transformation technique, and you can break my spell just now, your ability is not small." ”

Then he paused again, shook his head and sighed: "But this little ability wants me to worship you as a teacher, but it is not enough, you still need to continue to work hard and continue to perform well." ”

To be honest, Ma Fan has not thought about accepting red children as apprentices, and it can even be said that he has thought about it more than once.

According to Ma Fan's understanding, looking at the performance of the red boy in Journey to the West, it is incomparable to most monsters.

First of all, the red boy knew that the change came to test Tang Seng and others, and after seeing Sun Wukong's great ability, he was able to use stratagem to transfer him away, but it proved that he was resourceful; after arresting Tang Seng, he thought of inviting the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess to enjoy together, which proved that he had filial piety and was not a ruthless and unrighteous person; Later, he was able to see through the changes of Sun Wukong from the subtleties, proving that he was smart and careful; and later he was able to almost burn Sun Wukong to death, proving that his means were extraordinary; and then he dared to change Guanyin's appearance to deceive people, and when he saw Guanyin, he dared to have the idea of doing it, which proved that his courage was commendable; once he found that the situation was unfavorable to him, he could immediately beg for mercy,It's a very simple person to be a good wealth boy with Guanyin.,I know that leaving a useful body is more important than anything else.,It's not something that ordinary monsters can have.。

Brave and strategic, bold and careful, has means, has decisiveness, knows how to judge and act, and knows the importance of saving life, in Ma Fan's opinion, such a successor is better than Sun Wukong, a battle maniac.

Moreover, the red boy is the son of the Bull Demon King, and he is destined to be a sectarian from birth, and it is impossible to worship the rest of the sects as teachers. Because the identity of the Bull Demon King is there, ordinary people are not qualified to be a teacher for the red boy, and because of the Bull Demon King, the red boy is destined to be impossible to worship the master of the Tongtian Sect as a teacher, except for the master of the Tongtian Sect, there are only two or three people who can snatch Ma Fan in the sect, but among these two or three people, Kong Xuan and the Holy Mother of Wudang are not interested in accepting apprentices now, and because the red boy already has a certain foundation, it is based on the thirty-six changes of Tiangang and the true fire of Samadhi as the foundation of practice, in these two methods, the golden-winged Dapeng eagle is not as much as Ma Fan can teach the red child, so in Ma Fan's mind, if the Bull Demon King really wants to help the red boy find a teacher, he is the best candidate。

He admires Red Child, and he also has the foundation to get started with Red Child, and even said that he is the best candidate for Red Child's teacher, so Ma Fan has more than once made the idea of income for Red Child.

After really seeing the red boy today, Ma Fan saw that the qualifications of the red boy are rare in the world, a few points more than the free and boundless, and even better than the three apprentices in Yuhua Country, the qualifications are better, and his cultivation of the thirty-six changes of Tiangang has reached the realm of Taiyi True Immortal, and there is a great fire in his body, and the divine fire has been refined into the samadhi true fire, and the combat power is not weak, if he can be included in the door, he will be able to help him a lot, he is a trustworthy good helper, much stronger than the other apprentices who need at least hundreds of years to be useful, and his idea of accepting apprentices is even worse。

It's just that now the tone of the red boy who wants to test Ma Fan makes Ma Fan very unhappy, and he has to test the teacher before he gets started, which is okay, if he can't suppress his majesty, and can't let the red boy not feel good about himself like this, such an apprentice is not easy to teach even if he is under the door, and such an apprentice Ma Fan would rather not.

Therefore, Ma Fan didn't show even the slightest hint of wanting to accept the red boy as an apprentice, but just sneered: "Haha, the child's family only knows how to think about good things all day long, have I said that I want to accept you as an apprentice? ”

Sun Wukong was also not used to seeing the stinky appearance of the red boy, and hurriedly smiled: "Yes, yes, yes, I am also friends with your father, and you still call me Uncle quickly." ”

The red boy glanced at Sun Wukong, and then asked Ma Fan with a surprised face: "You really don't want to accept me as an apprentice?"

Ma Fan nodded and said: "Haha, you said that if I accept apprentices, I will definitely give you a baby if I take the time to teach you not to say, if you cause trouble, I will still carry around, if you accept you as an apprentice, I will not get any benefits, and there are a lot of disadvantages, why should I accept you as an apprentice?"

When the red boy heard this, he felt that it made sense, but he hadn't thought about this problem before, so he panicked slightly, and hurriedly said: "But the monks all accept disciples, even the saints still have to accept many apprentices?

Ma Fan said with a smile: "They accept apprentices to naturally spread their own Taoism, and after the apprentices teach them, they also have some helpers, and many things will be done by the apprentices, and they can save a lot of things later." But look at it, you're just a Taiyi True Immortal cultivator, and you can't help me with anything, I won't accept you until I eat too much!"

When the red boy heard Ma Fan belittle himself like this, Dons said dissatisfiedly: "You also said that the apprentice can only help the master after he has been taught, and you haven't taught me, how do you know that I can't do it." I've only been practicing in the Flame Mountain for more than 300 years and I have the ability to do it now, how many people praise me as a genius, so you don't want to accept me to inherit the Dao system?"
