Chapter 69: Tang Seng Meets Ape Ren
Tang Seng was horrified, got up after a while, approached Ape Ren and said, "How can I save you out."
Ape Ren bared his teeth and smiled: "Emperor Tang ordered me to be imprisoned, and I can come out by myself."
But you have to face the East and worship the Tang Emperor sincerely, and I can jump out."
"Good, good". Tang Seng was overjoyed and said, "I will worship my emperor."
Tang Seng was overjoyed and sincerely bowed to the East.
After a moment, Ape Ren said: "Mage, retreat, I'm about to come out, don't fall a stone and hit you."
Tang Seng retreated ten meters as he said.
"Farther away, farther away". Ape Ren said.
Tang Seng retreated a hundred meters.
"Farther away, farther away". Ape Ren shouted.
Tang Seng had no choice but to retreat.
"I'm coming out." Saruhito crawled out of the hole with both hands.
Tang Seng was dumbfounded, he saw the ape born, the mountain did not move, the ground did not shake, did not hear the sound of the wind, and no birds flew away.
"Hahaha". Ape Ren crossed his waist and laughed wildly: "I Ape Ren finally came out."
Tang Seng's face was dark, and he didn't make any movement for a long time, why did you let me run so far.
Tang Seng walked back and looked at the gap where the ape was lying down, the edges and corners had been smoothed, and it looked like it was caused by frequent entry and exit.
"This mountain doesn't weigh on you." Tang Seng couldn't help but ask.
"Didn't I tell you, Emperor Tang punished me for self-imprisonment, self-imprisonment understands." Ape Ren looked at Tang Seng with disgust: "Self-imprisonment is to let me find a stone crack to stay."
Tang Seng was speechless and choked, the people who had a relationship with the King of Taihu Lake were really not normal.
Ape Ren jumped up and climbed up the tree, broke a large branch, and with a stroke of his hand, it became extremely smooth: "Mage, come on, come, I'll send you to the western sky."
"Ahh Tang Seng exclaimed.
"Learning from the scriptures". Aruhito added.
"Whew". Tang Seng was like a roller coaster in his heart, looking at the back of the ape, he felt that if he let this hairy monkey follow, he would be scared to death sooner or later.
Tang Seng rode on a horse and watched the ape walk forward with a wooden stick, like a child learning monkey play, looking weird.
He asked, "Hairy monkey, you are so young, what are your skills to defeat demons?"
"My skills can be big, three heads and six arms, Baoding magic weapon, can swallow fire, can spit out divine flames, call God, and call through the fairy world." Aruren bragged about himself.
He looked up and saw Tang Seng's face questioning, and you said, "Look at me, call a god, show you."
Ape Ren stomped on the ground under his feet, and shouted in his mouth: "Old officer of the mountain god, come out to see me."
"Don't stomp, don't stomp, little ancestor, what's going on with me." A puff of smoke rose and the mountain god emerged from the ground.
Tang Seng's eyes widened in surprise, he really had the magic power to call immortals.
Ape Ren pointed at Tang Seng and said: "See, the mage from the Tang Dynasty, the mage is hungry, find some delicious fruit, don't fool it." He said viciously.
"Can't be fooled, can't be fooled". The mountain god disappeared as soon as he slipped through the smoke.
The mountain god is bitter, and there has been a summoning since the ape came.
Thinking that he has entered the Shinto of the Heavenly Realm, how can he pay attention to Ape Ren, but he can't stand Li Ke stomping his feet three times a day and knocking on the door every day.
This hairy monkey can't beat and beat, and no one cares about it, so he can only bow his head and suffer his anger.
After a while, the mountain god brought melons and fruits for the ape to enjoy.
Ape Ren was unceremonious, took the largest peach and opened his mouth to nibble.
The mountain god handed the remaining fruit to Tang Seng.
Tang Seng hurriedly dismounted and thanked: "Thank you, Lord Mountain God."
"Mage Exemption". The mountain god was in a better mood, put down the melons and fruits and retired.
"Monkey, you said that there are three monsters on this mountain, there are many of them, people often say that two fists are invincible to four hands, how do you deal with three monsters by yourself." Tang Seng said.
"Well, there is some truth in what you said, it just so happens that I will go to the sky to summon a few immortals to come down to help, and I will go." Ape Ren followed the fire and clouds to the sky.
"Tang Seng's eyes widened, and the Tao flew away, what a great supernatural power." Mougin, he thought again, what if there was no hairy monkey, what would happen if the monster came.
Tang Seng stopped in place, waited for a long time, did not see the ape Ren return, he said in his heart that this monkey did not forget to come back, if he did not come, I would not be able to stop here.
That's it, that's it, the westward journey was originally my way, be careful, he told the two servants to be careful, and go westward.
Afraid of something, the white horse suddenly lost its front hooves and pounced and fell into the trap. A group of youkai jumped out of the bushes.
The little demon shouted: "Catch it, catch it."
"Tie them up, treat Xiong Lux tonight, Pig Commander". A tiger-headed youkai came and spoke.
Tang Seng was miserable, and said in his heart: Bitter, the hairy monkey went there, why didn't he return, I am afraid that he will lose his life tonight.
At night, the monster feasted, disemboweling the two servants, seeing that the bloody knife was about to kill Tang Seng, Venus fell from the sky, and a few spiritual lights killed the monster and woke up Tang Seng.
"Holy monk, holy monk". Tai Bai Xing shook Tang Seng.
Am I going to die? Tang Seng said in his heart, he saw the monster kill the two servants. With his heart like ashes, he opened his eyes, but saw a white-haired Taoist.
"Holy monks, wake up, let's go quickly". Tai Bai Xing said.
"Who are you and why did you save me?" Tang Seng asked.
"Holy monk, go out and talk about it." In order to remain mysterious, Tai Bai Xing kept his identity silent.
"You are a god, a friend of the monkey". Tang Seng suddenly woke up and thought of the ape Ren who was looking for help from the gods.
Tai Bai Xing frowned, what is Buddhism doing, has you already told Tang Seng Sun Wukong about it?
He couldn't understand the thoughts of Buddhism, so he could only admit: "That's right, I am Tai Bai Xing, a friend of the Great Sage, and I have come to rescue the Holy Monk."
"The poor monk thanks Venus for the rescue, and the monkey is also a loss." Tang Seng put his hands together and bowed to Xie Tai Platinum Star.
Tai Bai Xing is depressed, the secret path Buddhism is calculating, I tried my best to rescue, but you let Sun Wukong share my merits. Don't blame me for being unjust.
"The holy monk has traveled to the west here, and he will be able to see the great sage after a short distance, and the holy monk will go west." Taibai directly pointed out that Sun Wukong was in front. Then he flew back to Heaven angrily.
"Thank you Venus". Tang Seng said goodbye to the platinum star and rode westward at night.
Walking not far away, sure enough, I saw a little red-haired monkey sitting on a tree branch, the monkey was lying on its side, holding its head in one hand, holding a peach in the other hand and gnawing, and the whole body was blazing, like a bright lamp.
"Good monkey, why are you here now". Tang Seng complained.
"One day in heaven and one year on earth, if I say one more word in heaven, there will be an hour on earth, and I will miscalculate." Ape Ren said.
"It's a pity for the servant's life". Tang Seng was helpless, he was afraid that the little hairy monkey would run away.
"Let's go, Master, further ahead is the Two Realms Mountain, and after the Two Realms Mountain, you will be out of the Datang region." Saruhito can't wait.
Roar
The two of them had not gone far when they heard a tiger roar.
"Ah, there are big worms." Tang Seng fell off the horse in shock.
"Don't be afraid, mage, watch me beat him and make breakfast." Ape Ren swooped and rode on the back of a tiger. With a punch, the tiger fell to the ground in a daze, and Ape Ren dragged the tiger's tail towards Tang Seng.
Tang Seng was shocked that such a huge insect was actually knocked down by a punch from the hairy monkey.
He looked at the hairy monkey, which was not even the height of a tiger's buttocks, but could pull a tiger six or seven times larger than him with one hand. The powerful figure of Ape Ren is engraved in Tang Seng's heart.
"The mage likes to eat that piece of meat, so I'll cut it down for you and roast it." Aruhito asked.
"Amitabha, poor monks don't eat meat." Tang Seng clasped his hands together.
"Oh, I see, you monks can only eat clean meat, so I'll hide away and slaughter this big worm." Ape Ren lifted the tiger to leave.
"Slow". Tang Seng said: "Poor monks have never eaten pure meat."
"You are a strange monk, looking at the scriptures you read, they are all Hinayana teachings, how can you not eat meat." Ape Ren put down the tiger.
"Okay, since you don't eat, I'll keep it and let him take me two days."
