Heavenly Court, in a simple courtyard, two old men in Taoist robes sat opposite each other, one of whom was Na Ge Heavenly Master.

"Brother Xu Dao, why did you ask someone to bring back the Heavenly King, didn't you cheapen the person who learned the scriptures for nothing?" Ge Xian Weng asked puzzled.

The Taoist on the other side sighed lightly, shook his head and said, "You are too reckless this time, although the matter of learning the scriptures is known to the Three Realms, but it is as blatant as you are, it is a broken rule." It's okay to send the Tailed Fire Tiger down to earth like last time, everyone will turn a blind eye, but this time you didn't hide it and directly sent down the Growth Heavenly King, but you broke the rules, such as today, who dares to act in disaccordance with the rules? Do you also want to turn into ashes?"

"I'm not doing anything for the Jade Emperor yet. Ge Xian Weng seemed to be a little unconvinced, and frowned and sighed.

"The Jade Emperor will never be happy if he knows that you are acting like this. The Taoist said indifferently.

"Jade Emperor Gao is not happy, doesn't it all depend on the four of you and me?" said Ge Tianshi meaningfully looking at the Daoist opposite.

"Hugh is talking nonsense!" The face of the Taoist on the other side changed slightly, and he couldn't help but scold softly, and then frowned: "You don't have to worry about the matter of the scripture learner this time, you have someone else to deal with." ”

"It's fine, lest anything go wrong. Ge Tianshi nodded in response, squinted his eyes slightly, and gently took a sip of the tea in the cup.

......

On the bank of the quicksand river, Tang and Song and his entourage sat in a group and held a brief welcome ceremony on the joining of the curtain general.

"General Roller Blind, since you have become the protector of the poor monk, it is better for the poor monk to help you give you a legal name this time, which is also easy to call. Tang Song said with a smile.

"Good. The roller shutter didn't refuse.

"Look, the great sage's name is Wukong, and Marshal Tianpeng is called Wuneng, why don't you call it Wujing! And because you were punished in the quicksand river, you simply took Sha as your surname, what do you think?" Tang Song asked.

"Good. The roller shutter was expressionless, as if it wasn't his name.

"If you are punished in the quicksand river, why don't you have the surname Liu?" Zhu Bajie asked curiously.

"Is it called Liuwujing? It seems to be like Liuwujing, I always feel a little dripping, I don't know where I think there is something wrong!" Tang Song said angrily.

"I just give you another name, and I'll call you a Sha monk!"

"Not a monk. Sha Wujing had a trace of doubt on his face and shook his head.

"The poor monk naturally knows. Tang Song sighed, if the monks all grow up like you, I'm afraid it will be difficult for anyone in the world to believe in Buddhism, and I don't know what Tang Seng thought at the beginning, when he looks like this, I feel that it is more appropriate to call him Sha Shura and Sha Evil Ghost.

Tang Song waved his hand and said, "It's just a title, you don't have to mind Wujing." ”

Sha Wujing nodded, fortunately, he was not an eventful character, seeing that Tang Song said this, he simply stopped asking.

"According to the elder, if you want to cross this quicksand river this time, you still need to use the power of Wujing, and now that Wujing has returned to his place, how can he cross this river?" Zhu Bajie looked at the endless river and couldn't help but ask curiously, he has fully experienced the strangeness of this river, not to mention a boat, even if the feather falls down, it will sink to the bottom.

Tang Song smirked and said, "Although this river is weird, with Wujing by its side, crossing the river is also a trivial matter. ”

Sha Wujing frowned, shook his head and said, "I can't carry it." "When I just protected Tang and Song Dynasty, I felt like a mountain when I pulled him, and it was impossible for him to cross the river with him.

Zhu Bajie also nodded approvingly on the side, and said in his heart that with your dead body, if you cross the river, I'm afraid the three of them will be exhausted to death.

"Of course, you don't have to carry the poor monk across the river. Tang Song shook his head and smiled, "Just make a small boat." ”

"Elder, don't be joking, this quicksand river can't float even if it is feathered and leaves, how can a small boat walk on water?" Zhu Bajie sneered.

Sha Wujing also nodded and said, "Eight hundred miles, the Dharma boat." ”

"What do you mean?" Zhu Bajie looked confused.

"Wujing means that the quicksand river is up and down for 800 miles, and ordinary boats can't float, so they must be specially made Dharma boats. Tang Song explained.

"That's right. Sha Wujing nodded, then shook his head again, and said in distress: "Divine powers, materials." ”

Seeing that Zhu Bajie and the others looked ignorant again, Tang Song had to explain again: "Wujing may be saying that although the Dharma boat can cross the river, he does not have the magical powers and materials to make the Dharma boat. ”

Sha Wujing nodded again, with a solemn expression.

The corners of the mouths twitched, and then they looked at Tang and Song's gazes became more and more weird, this is a heart! How on earth did you guess what that thing was talking about? It seems that Guanyin Bodhisattva still has a little reason for letting you learn scriptures.

"But this is not a problem, the poor monk has long expected it. ”

In the amazed eyes of the crowd, Tang Song said confidently: "The material of the Dharma boat is now there, that is, the skull necklace on Wujing's neck, which is the skull left by the reincarnation of the golden cicada from the past generations, which can be immortal and unsinkable in the quicksand river, it is an excellent material for the Dharma boat, just form a magic circle according to the position of the nine palaces, and you can easily cross this river." ”

Everyone suddenly realized, and they all looked at Tang Song with admiration, Tang Song was secretly proud in his heart, the original Journey to the West was not read in vain.

Sha Wujing slowly took off the necklace, looked at it for a long time but hesitated and said, "Nine palaces, eight." ”

Tang Song: "......"

It was like a thunderbolt on a sunny day, the fried Tang and Song dynasties were scorched on the outside and tender on the inside, and they looked at the skull necklace in Sha Wujing's hand with a confused expression.

How did he forget this stubble, the reason why he was able to form a nine-palace formation in the original book was because Sha Wujing had eaten nine scripture takers before, but he was now the ninth reincarnation of the golden cicada, which means that Sha Wujing only ate the eight scripture takers before him, and he couldn't form the nine-palace magic boat in the original book at all, no matter how he counted it, he was short of a skull.

Do you want to cut off your head to make up a number? Tang Song was speechless, feeling that he was once again trapped in a dead loop.

"Huh?"

In distress, he suddenly swept to the surface of the river and saw the body of the river god floating on the water, washed by the waves of the water, apparently dead for a long time. Tang Song's heart was shocked, and a spiritual light suddenly flashed, isn't the quicksand river known as Mao Yu? Why can the corpse of this cargo float on it unharmed?

Tang Song pondered for a moment, and a strange smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, although he was reluctant to give up his head, but the head of this river god could be contributed, anyway, it didn't have to be in vain.

In other words, it didn't say in the original book that you must take the skull of the scripture person, but because the skulls of the nine goods just happened to float in the quicksand river, and now since this river god also has the same effect, there is no reason why it can't be replaced.

Thinking of this, Tang Song coughed lightly, looked at Sha Wujing with bad intentions and said, "Wujing, are you hungry now?"

"Not hungry. Sha Wujing didn't know why, and replied honestly.

Of course, Tang Song was just joking, even if Monk Sha really wanted to eat people, he had to stop him, he couldn't control what he did before, but since he became his protector, all kinds of bad habits in the past must be changed, at least cannibalism must be forbidden.
