Chapter 711: Catfish
Digging wells is an extremely difficult task, especially when there is a shortage of labor.
The king of the county is already old, and in the entire Fengxian County, Xuanzang is left to do this kind of work. Naturally, this burden fell on Xuanzang's body.
So, as the sun rose and sunset, Xuanzang began to get up early and dig wells greedily in the dark, and the old county king was busy helping Xuanzang.
In the corners around them, a group of demon generals, monkeys and others watched day after day.
"Can this place really dig water? If it can be dug up, why didn't the people before it dig it?"
"That's right, the people of the entire county, digging a well, how can they be faster than Master Xuanzang alone, right?"
Time passed day by day, five zhang, ten zhang, twenty zhang. Still no water.
"Shall we also help? If we do it, it should be no problem to dig one or two hundred zhang a night, right?"
"You stupid, what's the good of helping? Have you forgotten Master Xuanzang's attitude? Once we help, maybe something will happen again. It's thankless, so why bother?"
Thirty zhang, fifty zhang. Still no water.
"If there was no water, he wouldn't just keep digging like that, would he?"
"What about the Great Sage's westward journey?"
The demon generals looked at each other.
At the same time, watching Xuanzang digging a well every day, covered with loess, the monkey already hated itchy. The temper is getting more and more irritable day by day.
......
Ling Mountain, Da Lei Yin Temple.
"Xuanzang is digging a well in Fengxian County, can he be more stupid?"
"There is indeed an underground river in that place, but it has very little flow. If it's in the right place, it's not impossible to dig up a little water. It's just that. Just a little bit of water. What can you do?"
"It's not that it can't be. There are not many people alive in Fengxian County itself. There can be one more well, even if the amount of water produced is small, it should make the people's lives better. ”
"But what's the point? Is this his Pudu, saving a few people, not the whole county?"
The entire hall was silent, and the Buddhas looked at each other.
"Isn't it...... Do we overestimate him? After the crossing of the world, Xuanzang is already at the end of the crossbow and has entered a dead end?"
In the crowd, Lingji suddenly thought of something. A faint smile.
For a while, all the Buddhas in the hall looked at him.
"Venerable Lingji, do you have something to say? ”
Hearing this, Lingji shook his sleeves and walked down the steps step by step, coming to the middle of the main hall. Put your hands together and bow down to Rulai.
"The poor monk has a brilliant plan. ”
"Brilliant idea?"
"Yes. ”
"Tell me about it. ”
Lingji shook his head and waved his hand, and said with a smile: "Don't say, don't say." If you say that, it's not good. Only, do. ”
This said. The Buddhas present became more and more puzzled, and they all frowned.
Lingji tilted his head slightly. Looking at Rulai.
After a long time, Rulai nodded and said, "Then, let's try it." ”
Lingji obeyed. With that, Lingji bowed down and retreated outside the hall.
After he left, the Buddhas began to talk about it.
"What is this Lingji going to do? Why can't you say it? Is it difficult, there is still an internal response here?"
"Maybe it's just a trick. ”
"Not surprisingly, according to his temperament. However, it is difficult to say whether this strategy is good or not. ”
I heard that he teased Xuanzang outside Gao Laozhuang that day, but in the end, not only did he not please him, but he also married someone plainly. This 'clever plan' should not be self-defeating. ”
Just when the Buddhas were discussing, Rulai looked down as if he couldn't hear it, and sighed softly: "Then Yang Chan's appearance, I'm afraid that the Venerable Dizang was also unexpected, right? If there is nothing to do, where is there a law to argue?"
With that, his gaze turned slightly, and he looked towards the King of Jizo.
"Not really. King Jizo said lightly: "Since the day of its existence, the six-eared macaque has been destined to be inseparable from that monkey, how can it be safe?"
Rulai took a deep breath and said, "I heard that the fisherman in the sea put catfish in the fish tank to provoke other fish to run for their lives, so as to ensure their survival. Now it seems that I am afraid that the Venerable Jizo will put a catfish in the fish tank of this six-eared macaque. It is rare to be resurrected, and he will not be able to live in depression so that the catastrophe is coming. ”
All the Buddhas quietly watched King Jizo.
After a long time, King Jizo folded his hands, silently bowed to Nyorai, and bowed out of the main hall.
......
At the same time, Fengxian County.
"You say...... Pure Hearted Venerable, in the hands of the six-eared macaque?"
Lu Liugui nodded heavily.
Tianpeng looked at the Bull Demon King on the side in some surprise.
The Bull Demon King also nodded heavily.
These two monsters, who inevitably quarrel when they meet on weekdays, are looking at the canopy together.
After retracting his attention a little, Tianpeng hurriedly looked out the window.
Not far away, the monkey was sitting cross-legged on the roof, looking west with a look of resentment.
"This thing...... Haven't told him yet?"
"I don't dare to say it. Lu Liugui said in a low voice: "Recently, the Great Sage Master has been in a bad mood, if he knows, he will be sure to kill him immediately to the Lion Camel Country." So we have to come to you to consult. ”
"I don't quite understand why...... Why is the Venerable Master in the hands of the six-eared macaque? He shouldn't have known that the Venerable Master is the Wind Chime. Moreover, the Venerable Master of Pure Heart should be in the Three Stars Cave of the Leaning Moon...... How could it be ......"
"The six-eared macaque doesn't know, but Heavenly Court and Kunlun Mountain do. I guess it's the rumors that the old immortals deliberately let out in order to cause trouble for us. Lu Liugui looked at the monkey's location and said cautiously, "As for why the Venerable Master of the Pure Heart left the Three-Star Cave of the Leaning Moon, it is not clear. I always felt like it was a trap. ”
"So what are you going to do now? You go and save people...... If you don't say it, something will really happen to her when the time comes, and your Great Sage's temper will ...... You know that. ”
"This ......"
As soon as they heard this, Lu Liugui and the Bull Demon King were immediately half stunned.
After a while, Lu Liugui took a deep breath and said, "There is news." The Venerable Master of Pure Hearts is with Her Lady. It's safe for now. ”
"Is the information reliable?"
"Sure to be reliable. ”
"It's good to be reliable. ”
said. The three people in the room looked out the window in unison.
By this time, the monkey had jumped off the roof. took advantage of the gap left by the old county king and quickly ran to the well where Xuanzang was.
He took a deep breath and shouted at the well, which was pitch black and only a little fire left in the depths, "Hey, it's me!"
There was no response from the well.
After a moment of silence, he shouted again: "How long do you want to toss like this? How many days has this been, is it endless? This place is not far from Lingshan!"
At the bottom of the well, Xuanzang replied in a long voice: "The westward journey is for Pudu." What's the use of going west without Pudu?"
"Fart! Are you fucking called Purdue? In a word, don't talk about the well, I'll move the whole lake for you right now! You have to make such a fuss, is it interesting?"
"The poor monk can let the Great Sage move mountains and reclaim the sea, but what about others?
"So what are you going to do? Do you have to dig into the water? Believe it or not, I'll take a rock and push you down so you can get enough of it?"
At the bottom of the well, Xuanzang didn't speak anymore. Only the same "clanging" sound remains.
Gritted teeth. The monkey turned around and brought a large rock, and shouted at the mouth of the well, "Don't think I don't dare. Anyway, if you drag it out like this, you won't be able to reach Lingshan in this life, so I'll just seal you inside!"
As he spoke, he made a real bang and sealed the mouth of the well with a big stone.
However, Xuanzang at the bottom continued to dig silently as if he didn't know anything.
The two were at a stalemate.
After a while, a demon general quietly poked his head out of the ruins in the distance, and said in a low voice: "Great Sage, the old county king is back, I can't let him see you." ”
Twisted melons are not sweet.
In desperation, the monkey shook his head and moved the stone back to its place.
From beginning to end, Xuanzang didn't even complain.
......
At this moment, the six-eared macaque was sitting on his throne with a depressed face.
I don't know when it started, but the six-eared macaque found that once he faced Yang Chan's crying, he would be unconsciously startled. It's like you're born with it.
Could it be the relationship between memory fragments?
The six-eared macaque desperately tried to recall, and the more he thought about it, the more his head hurt, and he broke out in a cold sweat.
I had no choice but to think about it.
Finally relieving his strength, he raised his head and said to the demon kings, "You guys...... Who has the means to get that pure heart out of the Shrine of Our Lady?"
Hearing this, all the demon kings looked at each other and lowered their heads one by one.
"Get out of here!" the six-eared macaque roared, "Get out of here!"
With this roar, those demon kings were so frightened that they hurriedly bowed down and exited the main hall one by one.
The Lion Camel King quietly grabbed the hand of the Peng Demon King and said, "He...... What's going on?"
"What else could it be?" the Peng Demon King deliberately raised his tone slightly and said, "I'm afraid of my wife." I have all remembered that in the future, what about the affairs of the Great Sage, I can do it, but I can't do it...... Reply, just scold one by one. Our Lady's business, but you have to do it well even if you work hard. Now the resentment below is getting bigger and bigger, and there is only so much we can do. ”
With that, he glanced at the nine-headed insect and a few other little demon kings who were walking beside him.
Although the demon kings were silent, they nodded unconsciously.
At this moment, the goat spirit who first encountered the six-eared macaque came over from a distance wearing a gorgeous suit, passed by the demon kings in a hurry, and ran directly into the main hall.
"Who is this?"
"Who else could it be? He's the new prime minister. That is, luck, otherwise, with his cultivation and knowledge, he can be the prime minister?"
"Just such a character is still the prime minister, it seems that this lion camel country really can't go far. ”
The nine-headed insect glanced coldly at the demon kings and said in a low voice, "Be careful when you speak." ”
Only then did several demon kings shut up when they said this.
......
In the main hall, the goat spirit presented a letter with both hands, and said loudly: "Qi Great Sage, just now, someone stuffed a letter into the minister's mansion, which is for you, the Great Sage." The minister didn't dare to slack off, so he hurriedly sent it to you, the great sage. ”
The six-eared macaque casually opened the letter, glanced at the place where it had been paid, and was stunned for a moment.
"Jizo King?"
"Exactly. ”
"Where is he now?"
"It's in the minister's mansion. ”
"Let's go, take me to him!" said the six-eared macaque, who had already gotten up and hurried out of the main hall. (To be continued.) )
