Xuanzang held the nine-ring tin staff alone, walked and stopped, and soon came to the border of the Western Liang Kingdom.

"Just wait for Wukong and them here, count the time, they should be almost there. ”

Xuanzang found a quiet place and began to rest in place.

In front of him, a small stream was flowing merrily, and behind him was a large dense forest.

By the way, the poor monk is also a little thirsty, so go down and catch a few small fish to eat. ”

Xuanzang squinted his eyes, ran to the river, raised the nine-ring tin staff, and brought the fairy elixir close to the water's edge.

Those fish were tempted by the smell of the elixir, and they all floated up, salivating at the elixir in Tang Sanzang's hand.

Xuanzang smiled slightly, and then took a big fish with a stick.

In a few moments, more than a dozen fatty river fish were stunned.

"It's strange, why are they all mothers?" Xuanzang squinted his eyes, looking at the fish with bulging bellies, faintly, feeling as if something was wrong.

"Holy monk, are you fishing?"

The old woman who passed by looked at Xuanzang in shock, and Xuanzang was about to use a branch to hold a live fish, and her face suddenly fell.

"The old man didn't know that the poor monk was helping this fish to overlive. Before, it was so full that it died and turned over its white belly, so the poor monk buried it. ”

"But...... They're not white-bellied, they're pregnant. Don't the holy monks know that this is the Zimu River......"

The old woman's words made Xuanzang's face change slightly, Xuanzang's eyes widened, and he said, "This is Zimu River?"

"Yes, so the fish and shrimp in this river are all female. The old woman nodded.

At this time, Sun Wukong and others had already rushed over, and when they saw Tang Sanzang, they unconsciously shouted: "Master, we are here!"

The old woman, who was still talking and laughing with Xuanzang, saw a monkey spirit wielding an iron rod and a pig holding a dung hairpin, and a group of monsters all of strange shapes rushed over.

The old woman was so frightened that she didn't even dare to say a word, and ran away directly into the distance: "There are monsters, they want to eat people!"

Xuanzang rolled his eyes and drank Sun Wukong and the others: "What kind of system do you dance with? As a teacher, I didn't discipline you for a few days, and you are so presumptuous." If you frighten the old woman to death, you will be guilty of too much. ”

Sun Wukong and the others laughed, thinking to themselves why this master is so bodhisattva-hearted, has he changed his temperament.

"Master, did you make these grilled fish?" Zhu Bajie salivated and looked at the fat fish in Xuanzang's hand, and his saliva was about to flow.

"Nonsense, the poor monk is helping them to cremate, can you speak human words?" Xuanzang rolled his eyes.

Sun Wukong and others: "......"

"But, master, why do you still sprinkle cumin, five-spice powder, and coriander?" the sand monk asked honestly.

"Wujing, what should you not ask, what are you asking for?" Xuanzang grimaced, and then took a bite of the grilled fish.

It smells so good!

Xuanzang felt that the previous effort was not in vain, the fish in this river were really delicious.

"Master, you're not kind, you can't eat alone. Zhu Bajie was drooling in his mouth.

"Shut up, poor monk, this is Zen meditation. If you distract the poor monk, can you afford this sin?" Xuanzang took another bite of the river fish and shouted inarticulately.

Zen Zen, you're clearly stealing grilled fish!

You're a monk, how can you be like this!

Zhu Bajie couldn't help but shouted: "Master, don't lie to the old pig, where are you participating in Zen, quickly divide the old pig." ”

Seeing that Tang Sanzang ignored himself, Zhu Bajie said cheekily: "My good master, please, okay?

Xuanzang's eyes widened, and he snorted coldly: "Shut up, don't harass the poor monk." The poor monks are participating in the Zen of life and death, and are comprehending the truth of the road of life and death. ”

Sun Wukong and others: "......"

Sun Wukong and others watched Xuanzang eat several mouthfuls of river fish, and finally Sun Wukong couldn't help it, and said with tears in his eyes: "Coach...... Phew, master, grandson, I want to learn to play basketball...... Phew, learn to participate in Zen. ”

Xuanzang was stunned and looked at Sun Wukong deadly.

Ma Dan, why do you know this line? Could it be that you also crossed over?

"Eat, eat, come to think of it, it's hard for you to follow the poor monks along the way. Xuanzang thought for a while, and after a few burps, he picked a few charred and dry fish and handed them to Sun Wukong and others.

Sun Wukong and others: "......"

Master, can you stop being so stingy, can you pick some good ones?

"You don't like to eat, then forget it!" Xuanzang took it back with a sigh.

"Master, don't!" Zhu Bajie grabbed one and quickly gnawed it.

Although it is said to be a little burnt, it has a little more burnt flavor and tastes unique.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng were also hungry, and they ate unceremoniously.

"Old Hei, why don't you eat it?" Xuanzang squinted his eyes and looked at the vigilant black bear spirit.

"I'm not hungry, old black!" the black bear spirit beat its stomach at this time.

Xuanzang and Black Bear Jing looked at each other, and Xuanzang sighed and said, "Old Hei, you have been with the poor monk for so long." Do you think that the poor monk will harm you?"

Xuanzang covered his chest vigorously and said with a sad and indignant expression.

"Lao Hei, you're not kind. My master has eaten it himself, then it must be fine, you are so careful, do you have to watch out for him everywhere?"

"That's right, you see we're all fine after eating. ”

Zhu Bajie and the others were shouting, and the black bear spirit was also flushed when he heard it, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"Forget it, everyone has their own ambitions, and they can't be forced. Xuanzang sighed, and then turned his head with a lot of heart, as if reflecting on something.

"Master, don't be angry first, let's persuade Lao Hei. "Sun Wukong is afraid that the black bear spirit will really anger the master, and that will be really troublesome.

The black bear spirit also felt a little embarrassed, Tang Sanzang was kind enough to invite him, but he was full of suspicion and was not sincere at all.

"How did I become like this? This will hurt the heart of the holy monk too much, and I will have to apologize to the holy monk later. The black bear took a deep breath, then took the river fish with an apologetic face and ate it embarrassed.

Seeing that the black bear spirit and the others all ate the grilled fish, Xuanzang showed a smug smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Don't be in a hurry to eat yet, be careful of choking. By the way, there's a crystal clear river over there. The river water is very sweet, Wujing, you hurry over and fetch two buckets of water. ”
