Chapter 33: The Seven Peerless Mountains

However, Tang Sanzang eats meat, unlike ordinary people, Tang Sanzang will only eat meat as a last resort, and under normal circumstances, he still eats fasting rice. In the words of Tang Sanzang www.biquge.info if you eat less meat, you can do less killing. Although Tang Sanzang didn't mind eating meat so much, Tang Sanzang was still very opposed to killing.

Just like this time, Tang Sanzang said that he wanted to eat fish soup, but in fact, he was just talking, just to alleviate his previous worries about Sun Wukong. Before Sun Wukong came back, Sha Wujing had already touched at least a dozen fish in the water, but Tang Sanzang had all of them put back. Sun Wukong also knew what the master meant, otherwise Tang Sanzang really wanted to eat fish, why was it so troublesome, Sha Wujing had a spell, and there would be endless fish to run to the shore by himself.

While standing in the river and fishing, Sun Wukong told Tang Sanzang and a few people about today's events, including how the stars were bad and beat the Yellow Eyebrow King twice. "Brother Monkey, is there really a lotus seed from the Nine Rank Lotus Terrace? Take it out and give it to me to taste, when I was on an errand in Heavenly Court, I heard about it, and I always wanted to taste it, but I didn't have the opportunity. Sun Wukong smiled and took out a few golden lotus seeds in his arms.

With a flick of his fingers, one flew into Tang Sanzang's hand and flew into Sha Wujing's hand, but there was no Zhu Bajie. "There are only three in total, mine has already eaten, this is from Master and Lao Sha, you are not bad, don't eat it. Zhu Bajie suddenly showed a bitter gourd face, and said to Tang Sanzang with a sad face: "Master, this monkey bullied me again." Tang Sanzang smiled and said to Sun Wukong: "Wukong, don't tease Bajie, if you don't have it, give Bajie as a teacher." ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he hurriedly said: "Master, don't, there is, there is." After speaking, he also gave Zhu Bajie a grain. How smart is Maitreya Buddha, how could he be missing only this one Zhu Bajie? Everyone looked at the golden lotus seed in their hands, and they didn't eat it immediately for a while, because this lotus seed was so beautiful.

The pure golden lotus seeds, from time to time exude a faint light, it is simply lovely, where is there any willing to swallow it? But there are still people who can't help it, and eat it in one bite. This person doesn't need to think about it, he is naturally Zhu Bajie. People who can even swallow ginseng fruit in one bite, let alone this little lotus seed.

But this time, Zhu Bajie learned smartly, he didn't swallow the lotus seeds directly this time, but chewed and ate them. Soon, everyone ate the lotus seed, and then everyone was shocked by the effect of the lotus seed. The body is as light as a swallow and the body is strong, this is the comment given by Zhu Bajie. In fact, the most obvious feeling is Tang Sanzang, this lotus seed has a particularly significant effect on his mortal body.

In the meantime, Tang Sanzang and his party continued to travel westward, this time for more than a month, during this period of hardship and hardship, not to mention sleeping in the open, simply the golden lotus seeds of Maitreya Buddha have the effect of cutting hair and washing the marrow, so that Tang Sanzang's body has strengthened a lot. On this day, the master and apprentice came to a place, it was spring and March, a hundred flowers were blooming, competing for beauty, and there were many gardens here.

The flowers in the garden are fragrant and even beautiful. "Master, the scenery here is good, why don't we spend the night here, I don't see it's getting early. Tang Sanzang looked at the sky, and indeed the sun was gradually setting in the west, so he nodded. Sun Wukong beckoned Sha Seng and Bajie to find some wood and thatch, and then build a shed together. This spring is the most like rain, and the humidity is very high, if you just sleep in the wild, you will definitely catch a cold and get sick the next day.

Zhu Bajie was not happy when he heard this, and pouted and said: "You monkey will summon people, do you think that my old pig has not seen it? There is a Zhuangzi in the distance, and you still let my old pig do this hard work." Sun Wukong smiled and said: "You nerd eyes are not bad, Master, Bajie is right, there is a Zhuangzi in front, let's spend the night in that Zhuangzi tonight." ”

Tang Sanzang shook his head with a smile and said, "Wukong, play tricks on Bajie again." Sun Wukong smiled, and led the horse towards the Zhuangzi in front of him. Soon, everyone came to the door of the manor, Tang Sanzang dismounted, knocked lightly on the door, and without letting everyone wait long, an old man opened the door.

I saw that the old man was dragging a cane in his hand, stepping on his shoes, wearing a black scarf on his head, wearing plain clothes, and when he opened the door and saw Tang Sanzang and others, he was stunned for a moment, and then asked, "Who are you?" Although the old man saw Zhu Bajie and a few people, he was not too surprised, and he felt a little strange. Tang Sanzang bowed and said, "Old man, the poor monk is a messenger sent by the East to the West to learn scriptures. Suitable for your place, the night of the special Zun Mansion holiday overnight, Wanwang is convenient and convenient. ”

When the old man heard this, his brows immediately furrowed, and he said: "You want to go to Xitian? The old man's words had already been spoken, and Tang Sanzang and the others all had strange expressions on their faces. I just met a small Leiyin Temple, and now there is a small West Heaven, which is really interesting.

Tang Sanzang asked with some doubts: "Dare to ask the old man, how can you get past here?" The old man pointed in a direction and said, "More than thirty miles west from me, there is a mountain called Qijue Mountain. This mountain stretches for a total of 800 miles, and the mountains are full of persimmon trees, from which the name of these seven unique mountains comes from. ”

At this time, Zhu Bajie suddenly said: "The Guyun persimmon tree has seven uniques: one is longevity, two is more yin, three is no birds, four is no insects, five frost leaves can be played, six are harvests, and seven branches and leaves are hypertrophied." After Zhu Bajie finished speaking, the old man nodded and said, "My place is vast and sparsely populated, and whenever the persimmons are ripe, no one picks them, and they all fall to the ground." After many years, the seven unique mountains and the road below the mountain were all paved, and they were paved layer after layer. ”

"Whenever the west wind blows, these persimmons, which have long been rotten, will emit a foul smell, and the smell is unbearable. It's spring, and it's all southeasterly, so I can't smell it yet. As soon as Zhu Bajie heard this, he was immediately unhappy, "You old man, it's really unreasonable, I'm not an ordinary man, and just rotten persimmons can stop me from going west?"

At this time, Tang Sanzang stepped forward and said: "Old man is not afraid, I have a firm heart to wait for the west, and these seven peerless mountains can't make me wait and worry." Moreover, my three apprentices are not mortals, and they are proficient in subduing demons and catching monsters. When the old man heard this, his face instantly turned happy, and he hurriedly welcomed the master and apprentice into Zhuangzi. A few people entered the village, and the old man ordered his subordinates to prepare a meal, and it was very rich, and this meal of straight eating Zhu Bajie slapped his belly and shouted that he had not eaten such a fragrant meal for too long.

After eating, everyone came to the guest room to rest, Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie sat at the table drinking tea, Sha Wujing was sorting out his bags, Sun Wukong was half leaning against the window, looking at the scenery of Zhuangzi outside the window, and said: "I feel that this old man is a little wrong." After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Zhu Bajie continued: "I also feel it, as the so-called merit is not rewarded, this old man does not recite the scriptures and does not believe in Buddhism, why is he so entertaining our master and apprentice?"

Sun Wukong thought for a while and said: "When we said that we would stay overnight, the old man said that he couldn't go to the west, and he didn't mean to let us in, but when the master said that we could subdue demons and eliminate demons, the old man became enthusiastic, so, I estimate, this old man is the same as your father-in-law Bajie." Zhu Bajie was stunned for a moment, and said unhappily: "What's the matter with my father-in-law, monkey, don't talk nonsense." ”

At this time, Sha Wujing suddenly said: "Second senior brother, senior brother is saying that there are monsters in this old man's house, or there are monsters in the vicinity, this old man wants us to kill demons." Only then did Zhu Bajie react, but immediately said angrily: "How do you know? Lao Sha?

Sha Wujing smiled and said, "I asked Master, and Master told me." Zhu Bajie wanted to say something, but when he opened his mouth, he found that he had nothing to say, so he couldn't help but take a sip of tea. Sun Wukong said: "There must be something in this, let's sleep, tomorrow we will definitely know if there are monsters, but even if there are monsters, this is normal." ”

Several people nodded, if there were no monsters, this would be strange, ninety-nine eighty-one difficult, no matter how bad it is, it is impossible to get a bunch of rotten persimmons as a difficulty, right?
