Some servants of the organic spirit had already brought another bowl of rice, first opened their eyes, did not blink, stared at Zhu Bajie's mouth, and then handed the rice to Zhu Bajie. I saw that Zhu Bajie poured the bowl into his mouth, and the rice entered his mouth and went directly to his stomach.

"Grandpa! you are a brick-grinding throat - light and slippery!" the servant was surprised.

Zhu Bajie laughed and told the servants to hurry up and add food.

Tang Seng has not finished reading a scroll of scriptures, he has already eaten five or six bowls of rice to his stomach, and when he saw that the master was eating, he also picked up chopsticks and went to eat the food on the table. Whether it's rice or pasta, fruit or pastry, you can stuff everything you catch in your mouth, and once you stuff it, you don't have to chew it. His mouth was still eating and shouting, "Come on, come on!"

The servants kept serving Zhu Bajie with their hands and feet, and after serving it, they gradually disappeared!

When Sun Wukong saw it, he said to Zhu Bajie: "Senior brother, eat less, how can it be better than starving on the mountain road, it's okay to eat half full." ”

Zhu Bajie had nothing to eat, and said with a dissatisfied face: "Stingy! As the saying goes, if the monk is not full, it is better to be buried alive." ”

"Take the family fire, don't pay attention to him!" Sun Wukong saw that the master's face was a little embarrassed, and said to the servants.

The two old men were a little embarrassed, and bowed down to apologize: "Don't hide it from the old man, I'm not afraid during the day, an elder with a big belly like this can afford to fast a hundred or ten, but it's too late now."

"Today, I made a meal in the evening, and only steamed a load of noodles, five buckets of rice, and a few tables of vegetarian food. Originally, I was going to invite relatives, friends, neighbors and monks to eat at the end of the meeting, but I didn't expect you to scare the monks away when you came.

"I heard this elder say that he had a lot of food, so he didn't even dare to invite his relatives and friends, and he brought it to worship a few people. If you don't have enough to eat, I'll ask someone to steam it. ”

It turned out that a load of pasta, five buckets of rice, and several tables of vegetarian food were all eaten by Zhu Bajie.

"Steam! Steam!" Zhu Bajie said loudly.

"Bajie, it's okay!" Tang Seng stopped him, "The monks begged for fasting, where is it not enough? ”

Zhu Bajie pouted, not daring to say more.

After eating, Tang Seng thanked the two old men, and asked after thanking: "Old donor, surnamed Gao?"

The old man said: "The surname is Chen." ”

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said: "This is my poor monk Huazong." ”

The old man asked, "The old man is also surnamed Chen?"

Tang Seng said: "Yes, the layman is also surnamed Chen, what did you do just now?"

Zhu Bajie said with a smile: "Master asked him what he was doing? At this season, it must be Qingmiao Zhai, either Ping'an Zhai, or a field of fasting." ”

"No! no!" the old man shook his head.

"What kind of fasting is that?" Tang Seng asked.

The old man sighed and said, "It's a pre-cultivation fast. ”

Zhu Bajie laughed straightly: "Old donor, you want to deceive people, but you have no eyesight! We are monks, how can anyone who doesn't know about fasting? You lie to me! There has always been only a pre-repair to send the library to fast, and the pre-repair to fill and return the fast, where is there a pre-repair to fast? There are no dead people in your family, what are you doing to die?"

"What do you mean by pre-cultivation of the dead?" asked Sun Wukong as well.

The two old men bowed and asked, "Why didn't you take the right path instead of taking the right path, but you came to me?"

Sun Wukong said: "I took the right road, I was blocked by a river, I couldn't cross it, and I heard the sound of drums and cymbals, so I came to your mansion to spend the night." ”

"When you go to the water's edge, what do you see?"

"I only saw a stone stele, with three words written on it, and 'Eight hundred miles of path, few people in ancient times'"

The old man said: "Go to the shore again, and there is a temple of inspiration from the place where the inscription is located, don't you see it?"

Sun Wukong knew that there must be a reason, and hurriedly asked: "I didn't see it, please tell the old donor, what is the inspiration?"

The two old men suddenly had sad faces and wanted to cry, and said, "Master, that inspiration king, bless us with good weather and good weather!"

"It's a good thing, but you're so sad?

"This is a good thing, but he eats children and boys every year!" the old man wiped his tears with his sleeve, and his grief came from it, and he was heartbroken.

"Want to eat children and boys?" Sun Wukong suddenly came to the spirit, this is a goblin, the sale is coming to the door!

"Yes!" replied the old man, wiping away tears.

"Do you have to eat children every year?, presumably it's your turn this year?" asked Sun Wukong again.

"Yes, it's your turn to give up this year!" the old man said, "We have hundreds of people living here, and it is under the jurisdiction of Chechi Guoyuanhui County, called Chenjiazhuang. The King of Inspiration had a sacrifice once a year, and he had to offer a virgin, a virgin, and some pigs, sheep, and animals. He ate one meal, and he kept us in good weather for a year. If you don't offer sacrifices, you will come and bring calamity!"

Sun Wukong asked again: "How many Linglang are there in your house?"

"Pitiful! What do you say Ling Lang, shame us to death!" The old man beat his chest with his hand and pointed to the old man who came out first, "This is my brother, named Chen Qing, and the old man is called Chen Cheng." I'm 63 years old, he's 58 years old, and my children are having a hard time. I am fifty years old and have not yet had a son and a half daughter, and my relatives and friends persuaded me to take a concubine and give birth to a daughter, who is only eight years old this year, and named it a scale of gold. ”

Zhu Bajie interjected: "What an expensive name!

Chen Cheng said: "Because I have no heirs, I built bridges and roads, built temples and towers, and gave alms to monks, wanting to accumulate some merit and ask for a child." There is an account of where three taels of gold were used, and where five taels of silver were used, and the whole thing was recorded on it. When she gave birth to a little girl, she used exactly thirty catties of gold. Thirty catties is a scale, so it is called a scale of gold. ”

Sun Wukong asked, "Whose turn is it for the boy?"

"It's also my home. Chen Cheng continued: "My brother has a son, who is also biased, seven years old this year, and is named Chen Guanbao. ”

"Why is that name?"

"The family supports Grandpa Guan, because he begged for this son under the statue of Grandpa Guan, so he named it Guan Bao. Chen Chengyu said with grief, "Our two brothers are more than 120 years old together, and there are only these two descendants. I didn't expect it to be my family's turn to sacrifice this year, and I didn't dare not sacrifice. However, how can the relationship between father and son be parted with? It is even more painful to have a son when he is old. So today, I will make a transcendent dojo for the children, so it is called pre-meditation and death. ”

When Tang Seng heard this, he couldn't help but shed tears: "This is really a yellow plum that doesn't fall and a green plum falls, God is partial to no one!"

Sun Wukong asked, "How much property do you have in your house?"

Chen Cheng said: "There are also a little point, there are forty or fifty hectares of paddy fields, sixty or seventy hectares of dry fields, eighty or ninety pastures, two or three hundred buffalo cattle, more than 30 donkeys and horses, countless pigs, sheep, chickens and geese, and there are no enough food to eat, clothes to wear, and some gold, silver and money. ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "You are a big business, it is very hard, right?"

"How can I see my province?"

Sun Wukong said: "If you are not provincial, if you have such a family business, how can you be willing to sacrifice your own children? For fifty taels of silver, you can buy a virgin, for one hundred taels of silver, you can buy a virgin, and even the other intermediate expenses are only two hundred taels of silver, so you can leave your own children and offspring, isn't it good?"

"Master, you don't know, the king is very inspired, and often comes to our village to walk around......" The two elders cried together.

Sun Wukong interrupted: "He often comes and goes, do you see what he looks like?"

"I didn't see it, I only smelled a burst of incense, and I knew that it was the king's grandfather who came, and they were all busy fasting and burning incense, and the old and young bowed to the incense wind, and they couldn't see others. Chen Cheng said, "He knows all the trivial things of our people and families here, and he remembers everyone's birthday." Whoever is the turn of the sacrifice will only be used by his own children. Don't say that there is nowhere to buy two or three hundred taels, even tens of millions of taels, and you can't buy such children who look exactly the same, and have the same eight characters in the same year and month. ”

Sun Wukong thought for a while and said, "I see! Come on, you take Ling Lang out and show me." ”

Chen Qing walked inside, took Xiao Guan Bao out, and put him in the hall.

The child was only seven years old, who knew that he was afraid and sorrowful, and when he saw that there was still fruit on the table, he jumped over and picked it up and ate it, playing while eating, and was innocent and cute.

Sun Wukong looked at Xiao Guan Bao, stood up, shook his body, and suddenly turned into a little Guan Bao, his appearance, clothes, look and demeanor, they were all exactly the same.

When the real little Guan Bao saw it, he grinned and jumped over. The two children, Xiao Guan Bao, held hands and danced and played there.

After the two children turned around a few times, Chen Qing only felt that his eyes were dazzled, and he could no longer tell which one was his biological son and which one was changed by Sun Wukong. He was stunned and shouted, "Guan Bao! Come here!" and the two children jumped over.

Chen Qing panicked, and hurriedly knelt down in front of Tang Seng: "Master, sin! Sin! That old man was still talking just now, why did he suddenly become like my son? Shout, and should come together! Where can this be afforded, fold the little old man's longevity! Please present the deity! Please present the deity!"

Sun Wukong wiped his face and showed his true appearance.

Chen Qing knelt down and said, "The master has such a ability!"

Sun Wukong smiled: "Like your son?"

"Like! like!" Chen Qing said repeatedly, "the same appearance, the same voice, the same clothes, the same figure!"

Sun Wukong said: "You haven't looked at it carefully, take the scale to weigh it, and see if it's the same weight?"

"Yes, yes, yes, no need to weigh it! no need to weigh it! It's the same weight. ”

"Can you do the sacrifice of the King of Inspiration like this?"

"It's done, it's done!" Chen Qing just nodded.

Sun Wukong said: "I will replace your son and sacrifice to the king, how about you leave your son to inherit the incense?"

Chen Qing cried with joy and kowtowed: "If the master can really be merciful, I will send 1,000 taels of silver to make a plate for Master Tang to go to the western sky." ”

Sun Wukong smiled: "Don't you thank Lao Sun?"

Chen Qing kowtowed again: "You have already sacrificed in place of Xiao'er, and there is no more for you." ”

"How could it be without me?"

"He was eaten by the king. ”

"He dares to eat me?"

"He doesn't eat you, does he think you're fishy?"
