Chapter 301: "Crossing the Ice River"
The mandarin woman came up and said with a smile: "King, what is the difficulty in catching the golden cicada? I just don't know if I can reward me with some meat to eat if I catch him?"
"If you can help me catch the golden cicada, I will worship you as a brother and sister and share the golden cicada meat together!"
"Thank you, King!" "The Mandarin Po was overjoyed, "King, you have the magic power to call the wind and rain, and the magic power to turn over the river and stir up the sea, I don't know if it will snow?"
"It will fall!"
"If it's going to snow, it's going to freeze, right?"
"More!"
Mandarin Po clapped her hands and smiled: "That's easy!"
"Where's the best way to do it?" said the King of Inspiration. Fastest updates
"At the third watch tonight, the king did a trick, a cold wind and a heavy snowfall froze the surface of the Tongtian River. I took a few people who could change, turned into pedestrians, went to the intersection, carried bags, umbrellas, carts, and burdens, all went to the ice, pretending to walk across the river.
Jin Chanzi and the others learned from the experience, saw that the river was frozen, and saw that there were pedestrians on the river, so they naturally relaxed and wanted to cross the river.
"The king waited under the river, and when the golden cicada reached the center of the river, he broke through the ice and put him into the water with his apprentices, and they were all caught!"
The mandarin woman gestured as she spoke.
"Brilliant plan!
The King of Inspiration laughed a few times when he heard this, and immediately left the water mansion to go to the snow and ice.
This night, Tang monks and apprentices slept in Chen's house, and slept until the early hours of the morning, only to feel that the bed was cold and cold, and it was so cold that he couldn't sleep.
Zhu Bajie was fighting a cold war, and at the same time shouted bitterly: "Senior brother, it's so cold!
Sun Wukong is a stone, he doesn't know the cold and heat, and when he heard Zhu Bajie cry cold, he scolded: "It's only August just now, why are you so useless?
The golden cicada was also uncomfortably cold, feeling strange, and said: "Wukong, it's really cold! You see, it's that heavy jacket without heating, and his sleeves are like ice." At this time, the fallen leaves are hanging frost, and the pine hangs a frozen bell. The ground crack is very cold, and the pool is flat for water condensation. The fishing boat is gone, how can the mountain temple meet the monks? The woodcutter is worried about the lack of firewood, and the king and grandson are happy with the increase in charcoal. The recruiter must be like iron, and the poet's pen is like a ling. The leather jacket is still too thin, and the mink fur is still light. The futon is stiff and old, and the paper tent is terrified. Embroidered quilt heavy bedding, trembling bells. ””
Monk Sha also came to echo, saying that it was so cold that he couldn't sleep.
When Sun Wukong heard them say this, he felt strange, so he simply got dressed, got up, and opened the door to see. When he saw it, he was taken aback and suddenly exclaimed, "Master, it's snowing!"
Snowing?
It's only August now, so why is it snowing? Several people got up with their clothes on.
Ahh
But see that: the clouds are thick, and the mist is heavy. The clouds were thick, the wind was cold, the fog was heavy, and the snow covered the ground.
The real one is six flowers, pieces of flying Qiong, thousands of forest trees, each with jade. It must accumulate powder and become salt in an instant. The white parrot song is out of element, and the crane feathers are the same.
Add Wu Chu Qianjiang water, overwhelm a few trees and plums in the southeast. But it was like retreating three million jade dragons, and sure enough, it was like a defeated scale and remnant armor flying all over the sky. There are Dong Guo Lu, Yuan Anwo, Sun Kangying to read, and Zi Youzhou, Wang Gongyuan, and Su Wu to eat felt. But it's just a few cottages like silver, and thousands of miles of rivers and mountains are like jade clusters. Good snow!
The catkins are full of bridges, and the pear blossoms cover the house. The catkins are all over the bridge, and the fishermen on the side of the bridge hang their clothes; It is difficult for the guest to sell wine, and the head is looking for plums. Sprinkle the chic butterfly, fluttering and shearing the goose clothes. Clusters are rolling with the wind, and layers of road fans are piled up.
Bursts of cold power pierced through the small curtain, and the cold air penetrated through the dark curtain. The auspicious harvest descends from the sky, and it can be congratulated on good things in the world. The snow was sprinkled one after another, and it was like a jade flying.
Zhu Bajie exclaimed: "No wonder it's so cold, it's so snowy!"
A few people were enjoying the snow and sighed, and the Chen brothers over there also got up and called a few domestic servants to sweep away the deep snow and clear the road.
A few more servants came over with hot water and washed Tang Seng and the others. After washing, I brought some hot tea and pastries, and brought out the charcoal fire.
The Chen brothers invited the master and apprentice to sit down and accompany a few people to drink hot tea to dispel the cold and chat.
Jin Chanzi opened his mouth and asked: "Old donor, you are in season, I don't know if there are spring, summer, autumn and winter?"
Chen Cheng said with a smile: "Although I am a poor and remote place here, it is only different from the customs and customs of the country, they are all the same sun, and naturally there are four seasons. ”
"Since there are four seasons, why is it snowing so hard now, so cold?"
"Yesterday was past the white dew, and it was August. I often have frost and snow here in August. ”
"Sure enough, it's very different from my eastern soil, and I don't have snow until after the winter solstice. ”
Everyone chatted all over the world. The servants came and cleaned up the table and set the hot porridge. After eating the porridge, the golden cicada went out to see, and the snow was heavier than in the morning, and the ground was more than two feet deep.
When Jin Chanzi saw it, he couldn't help but look worried.
Chen Cheng hurriedly said: "Don't worry, don't worry about the snow, please live in peace, let us support the old man for a lifetime, and we can afford it." ”
Jin Chanzi sighed: "The old donor doesn't know the suffering of poor monks. I was blessed by the Holy Grace and sent out of the customs by my own driver. The Tang Dynasty saluted me with a wine glass in his hand and asked me when I would be able to come back? The poor monk did not know that the West Heaven Road was far away and difficult to walk, and it only took three years for him to return to China. After this departure, I have been walking for seven or eight years today, and I have not seen the face of the Buddha, and I have long violated the return date. I was afraid that the demons on the road ahead were fierce, so I was a little anxious. Today, I had the fate to stay in your mansion, and I originally thought that after the apprentices had received their favors yesterday, they would borrow a ferry to cross the river today. I didn't expect it to snow so hard that I couldn't even see the road. I don't know when I'll be able to return to my hometown!"
"Don't worry, this snow is a guest of God, our brothers are just fateful, and we can support the old man for a few more days. Seven or eight years have passed, and the lord doesn't care about staying a few more days. When the weather is clear and the ice melts, even if the old man is bankrupt, he has to find a way to send the old man across the river. ”
As he was talking, the servants came over to invite him to eat breakfast, and the Chen brothers invited the master and apprentice to the hall for dinner.
After eating, we chatted with each other, and in a blink of an eye, it was noon, and we had lunch again.
Jin Chanzi saw that every meal was a sumptuous meal, and he was a little reluctant, and said: "The old benefactor keeps it, it is already difficult to repay the hospitality, just eat a home-cooked meal." ”
"Master, you saved the lives of our sons and daughters, no matter what happens, it is difficult to repay the great kindness!"
Jin Chanzi had no choice but to follow him.
By this time, the snow had stopped, and there were already pedestrians walking outside.
Seeing Tang Seng's melancholy expression, the Chen brothers asked someone to clean the garden, set up a fire in the garden, and invited the four masters and apprentices to go to the snow cave to enjoy the scenery and relax.
Zhu Bajie said with a smile: "It's fun to enjoy the garden in February and March, so it's snowy and cold, what's so fun to look at?"
"Bajie, say you're stupid, you're really stupid! The snow scene is quiet, go for a walk in the garden, one is to enjoy it, and the other is to relax the master!"
"Exactly, exactly. Chen Cheng nodded again and again, and invited the master and apprentice into the garden.
The jade trees and silver flowers in the garden, and the path is also like paving plain cloth, which is not clean. The rockery is also like white marble in general, in the lotus pond, the stamens are clear and jade, and the lotus leaves are like jasper.
Further on, we came to a high ground, where there was a stone cave with a wide and condescending door. It turned out that this was what Chen Qing called the Snow Cave.
In the snow cave, it is wide and spacious, and there is a beast-faced elephant-foot copper brazier in the middle, and the hot charcoal fire is burning vigorously. There are a few tiger skin chairs by the brazier, and they are warm and soft to sit on.
There are several ancient paintings of celebrities hanging on the cave wall, the front is a pair of seven sages passing the pass, the left is a pair of Hanjiang solo fishing, the right is a pair of Su Wu dining felt, and the back is a pair of folding plum envoys.
The Chen brothers led Tang Seng and others to sit by the brazier and enjoy the ancient paintings in the cave and the snow scene outside the cave. The servants came over with hot fragrant tea, and everyone drank and talked.
Chen Cheng asked, "How many masters, do you drink?"
On a snowy day, drinking hot wine and enjoying the snow scene is a great thing.
"Poor monks don't drink alcohol, but the disciples can drink a few glasses of vegetarian wine. ”
The brothers of the Chen family were overjoyed, and asked someone to bring fruit cakes, warm a few pots of wine, and bring them to the holy monks and lords to keep out the cold.
Sun Wukong's three brothers really drank to their heart's content. Seeing that it was getting late again, people put away the family fire, please go back to the hall to have a fast time.
On the way back to the house, I heard passers-by on the street talking: "It's so cold! The river is frozen!"
"Wukong, the river is frozen, what should I do?"
Chen Qing took over and said, "Presumably the shallow water by the river is frozen. ”
The pedestrian said: "Not only has the riverside been frozen, but the surface of the river for 800 miles has been frozen like a mirror, and there are people walking across the river!"
As soon as the golden cicada heard that there was a river, his heart moved, and he wanted to go and see it.
Chen Cheng persuaded: "Don't worry, master! It's late today, let's go see it tomorrow!"
Jin Cicada thought about it, so he came back together, went to the hall for dinner, and came back to sleep in the wing room after dinner.
Early the next morning, Jin Chanzi called Sun Wukong and a few people up.
Zhu Bajie got dressed, got up and said, "Senior brother, it was even colder last night, and the river must be frozen." ”
The golden cicada didn't open the door, so he bowed to the sky and said: "All the great gods of the apologetics, the disciples are pious all the way, and there are many people who are far away, and there is never a word of complaint. Coming here today, I thank the emperor for his blessing and help, and the river is frozen. The disciple first made a wish here, and when he retrieved the scriptures and returned to the Tang Dynasty, he would definitely play the emperor and be rewarded heavily. ”
After worshipping, he asked Zhu Bajie to buckle the saddle and cross the river while the river was frozen.
The Chen brothers were coming to the door, and when they heard that the golden cicada was leaving, they hurriedly stayed: "Master, don't worry! The river is too wide and the water is also fast, I'm afraid the ice is not solid." After a few days when the river ice thaws, the old man will arrange a boat and send the old man across the river safely!"
Monk Sha hurriedly explained: "My master prayed for heaven and earth, and he must cross the river to the west, and the old benefactor can't stay anymore." The river is frozen, and the people who hear it say it don't know whether it's true or not, but it's better to see it than to hear it, so let's accompany the master to the river to have a look. ”
"Reasonable. Chen Cheng nodded again and again, and instructed below, "Little ones, go and lead six horses! Don't work for Master Tang's horses first." ”
