It is said that Wukong used all his scheming to invite Sakyamuni to collect the demons, relieve the difficulty of the golden cicada's master and apprentice, and leave the lion camel city to continue westward. Fastest updates

After a few more months, the golden cicada master and apprentice have passed for several months, and in a blink of an eye, it has come to the cold winter wax moon, but they saw that the cold plum on the mountain ridge was about to break through the ice jade and bloom, and the pond water gradually condensed into ice.

The autumn leaves are falling, and the green pine color is renewed. Light clouds are flying like snow, and the withered grass is flat in the mountains. The eyes are full of cold light, and the yin and yin are tempting.

The master and apprentice braved the cold, stayed in the rain and ate in the wind, and saw another city in the middle of the line.

Jin Chanzi rode on a horse, pointed to the city in front of him and asked, "Wukong, where is it?"

I saw Wukong put the golden hoop stick on his shoulder and said slowly: "Master, you will know it yourself when you come to the front, if it is the throne of Xidi, you need to change Guan Wen, if it is Fuzhou County, you can pass by." ”

Master and apprentice of the golden cicada, you have not finished your words. The master and apprentice had already arrived outside the city gate.

Jin Cicada dismounted, and the master and apprentice entered the Moon City, and saw an old army, sleeping in the wind under the sunny wall.

Wukong stepped forward, shook him, and shouted, "Sir." ”

The old soldier suddenly realized, opened his eyes in a daze, and saw Wukong looking at him, smiling, and hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed, shouting: "Grandpa!"

Wukong has always been accustomed to hearing the screams of monsters grandpa, but today he heard mortals screaming, and he was very strange and shouted: "Don't make a fuss, I'm not a fierce god, what's the matter with you calling grandpa!"

The old soldier saw that Wukong looked like a Lei Gong monkey, and the old soldier hurriedly kowtowed: "You are Grandpa Lei!"

Wukong hurriedly explained: "Nonsense! I am a monk who went to the west to learn scriptures. I just arrived here, I don't know the name of the place, and when I saw you here, I came to ask you. ”

After listening to Wukong's explanation, the old soldier straightened his mind, yawned, got up, stretched his waist and said, "Elder, elder, forgive the villain's sin." This place, originally called the Kingdom of Bhikshus, has now been changed to the City of Kids. ”

Wukong didn't care what his name was, and asked, "Is there an emperor in the country?"

Seeing that Wukong was angry, the old army hurriedly replied: "Yes! Yes!"

Wukong then turned to Jin Chanzi and said, "Master, this was originally the country of monks, but now it has been changed to the city of children." But I don't know what it means to change the name, it's called a kid city. ”

Jin Chanzi was puzzled: "Since it's called a monk, why is it changed to a kid?"

When Bajie heard this, he suddenly laughed and said: "I think the previous bhikshu king collapsed, and the new throne was a kid, so it was called the boy city." ”

Jin Chanzi asked again: "No reason! No reason! Let's go in first and ask again in the neighborhood." ”

Sha Seng nodded and replied: "Exactly, seeing that the old soldier doesn't know, and the other is bluffed nonsense by the appearance of the senior brother, he still went into the city to ask." ”

The master and apprentice entered the three-story door again, and went to the Tongqu City to watch, but they were also well-dressed and handsome.

But see that: the restaurant song house is noisy, and the tea room is hung with high curtains. Thousands of households and thousands of doors have good business, and the six streets and three cities have a wide source of wealth. People who buy gold and sell brocade are like ants, and they compete for profit and fame only for money. Polite and solemn, the scenery is prosperous, and the river is clear and the sea is peaceful. The master and apprentice led the horses and carried the burdens, and when they walked up the market for a long time, they could not see the prosperity of the city, but they only saw a goose cage at the door of their house.

Jin Chanzi asked again: "Apprentice, why do people here put the goose cage at the head of the door, what is the reason?"

Bajie heard Jin Cicada say this, thinking that the master was playing tricks on Wukong, so he hurriedly looked left and right, and sure enough, they were all goose cages, arranged with five-colored satin curtains.

Bajie said with a smile: "Master, today I think it is a good day of the zodiac, and it is appropriate to marry and meet friends, and they are all saluting." ”

Wukong shook his head and shouted, "Nonsense! There must be a reason for it, wait for me to go up and take a look." ”

Jin Chanzi hurriedly grabbed Wukong and shouted, "Wukong, don't go, you see your ugly face, I'm afraid you will scare others." ”

Wukong said, "Master, wait for me to change." ”

Say change is change, Wukong twisted the trick, recited the spell, changed his body, turned into a bee, spread his wings, flew close to the edge, and went into the curtain to watch, it turned out that there was a child sitting inside.

Wukong went to the second cage to see, and he was also a child. Even looking at the ** family, they are all children, but they are men, and there are no women. Some sit in cages and play naughtily, some sit inside and cry, some eat fruit, and some sit in sleep.

Wukong looked at it, and went back to tell Jin Chanzi: "There are some children in that cage, the eldest is less than seven years old, and the younger one is only five years old, and I don't know why they were put in the cage." ”

Jin Chanzi heard Wukong say this, and he was undecided. Suddenly, I turned the street and saw a yamen, which was the Golden Pavilion Station.

Jin Chanzi said happily: "Wukong, let's go to the inn first, one will ask him what kind of place this is, the second will feed the horses, and the third will stay overnight." ”

When Sha Seng heard that he could rest, it was more urgent than Bajie, and hurriedly said: "Exactly, exactly, go in quickly." ”

Jin Chanzi nodded in agreement, and the master and apprentice happily entered. I saw that the official and the post man were rewarded and entered the door, and each saw each other.

As he spoke, Yi Cheng asked, "I don't know where the elder came from?"

Jin Chanzi said: "The poor monk is the one who went to the West to learn scriptures from the Tang Dynasty in the East and the West, and now he is in your place, and the relevant literature and science should be tested, so he has the right to take a break from the high office." ”

Yi Cheng hurriedly ordered someone to watch the tea, and after the tea was finished, he ordered to respond to it, and the order should be arranged and treated.

Jin Chanzi thanked him again and again, and asked: "Can you enter the court today to see the driver and test the Guan Wen?"

Yi Cheng shook his head and said, "Not tonight, I have to wait until tomorrow morning." Tonight, I will stay overnight at the Yamen. ”

However, after a while, the arrangement stopped, and Yicheng invited the four masters and apprentices of the golden cicada to eat fasting together, and taught his subordinates to clean the guest room and rest.

Jin Chanzi thanked him and sat down again, and Jin Chanzi remembered what he had seen during the day and asked, "The poor monk has something unclear to ask for, and he is troubled to instruct." You raise children here, I don't know how they are born. ”

Yi Cheng looked at the golden cicada strangely, and replied: "There are no two days, and there are no two people. Raising children, the blood of the father and the mother, the pregnancy for ten months, the time to be born, the birth of three years, the gradual development of the body, how can I not know the reason!"

Jin Chanzi asked again: "According to what the donor said, it is no different from our state." But when the poor monk entered the city, he saw that the neighbors set up a goose cage for each of them, and they all hid their children. This matter is unknown, so I dare to ask such a question. ”

Yi Cheng whispered in his ear: "The elder doesn't have to care about him, don't ask him, don't pay attention to him, and talk about him." Please be safe and walk well tomorrow morning. ”

Jin Chanzi listened to Yicheng say this, grabbed Yicheng, and wanted to ask for an understanding.

Yi Cheng shook his head and shook his hand, only shouting: "Careful words!"

Jin Cicada felt that the things inside were not simple, and he grasped it more tightly, and he had to ask for details.

Yi Cheng had no choice but to wait for the officials, alone under the light, and whispered: "Just now, the elder asked about the goose cage, which is a matter of the current lord of the country. What is the matter with your little question?"

Jin Chanzi asked again: "What is the unreasonable?" Please explain it clearly, I can rest assured. ”

Yi Cheng said: "This country was originally a country of monks, and there are folk songs nearby, which have been changed to a small city. Three years ago, there was an old man dressed as a Taoist, with a little woman, 16 years old, his daughter described as handsome, like Guanyin, tribute and His Majesty, His Majesty loves its beauty, pampered in the palace, called the beauty of the queen. In recent years, the three palace mothers and the concubines of the six courtyards have all looked at each other, day and night, greedy for joy. Now he is mentally thin, his body is poor, his diet is less, and his life is hanging by a thread. The hospital has tried its best to cure it, but it can't be treated. The Taoist who brought the woman to the palace was enshrined by my lord and called the abbot. Guozhang has an overseas secret recipe, which is said to prolong life, "

So, Guozhang went to Shizhou and Sandao to collect medicines, and they were all ready. But it's just the benefits and disadvantages of the medicine primer: with the heart and liver of 1,111 children alone, decoction and medicine, after taking it, it has a thousand years of immortality. The children in these goose cages are all selected and raised in them. The parents of the people, afraid of the royal law, did not dare to cry, so they spread rumors, called the children's city. When the elder arrives at the court tomorrow morning, he will only go to exchange Guan Wen, and he will not talk about this matter. ”

After Yi Cheng finished speaking, he planned to retreat, bluffing a golden cicada's bones and tendons, and he couldn't stop the tears on his cheeks, and suddenly shouted: "Faint king, faint king! Because you are greedy for joy and love beauty, and you get sick, how can you bend the lives of so many children! Bitter! Bitter! Kill me!"

When Bajie heard the voice, he walked in and looked closer, and asked, "Master, what's the matter with you?" Carrying other people's coffins in your own house and crying! Don't worry! As the saying goes, when a monarch and a minister die, the minister will not die and be disloyal, and if the father teaches the son to die, the son will not die and will not be filial. He hurts his people, what does it have to do with you! Come and sleep with wide clothes, and don't worry for the ancients. ”

Hearing that Bajie was so heartless, Jin Chanzi cried even louder: "Bajie, you are an unmerciful monk! I have never seen a person who eats people's hearts and livers, and can prolong his life. It's all a no-nonsense thing, teach me how not to be sad!"

Sha Seng also persuaded: "Master, don't be sad, wait for tomorrow morning to change Guan Wen, and talk to the king in person." If not, look at what he looks like. Or I think that the country is a goblin, and he wants to eat the hearts and livers of children, so I don't know if I set up this method. ”

Wukong also felt reasonable, nodded and said, "Senior Brother Sha is reasonable. Master, you go to bed first, and tomorrow I will wait for my grandson to enter the court with you to see what the national abbot looks like. If it is a human being, I am afraid that he will go to the side door, which is not the right way, and he will only take medicine as the truth, and wait for the old grandson to convert him to the right with the innate essence; if it is a demon, I will take him by himself, and see with this king, and teach him to be lenient and nourish his body, and never teach him to hurt the lives of those children. How?"

When Jin Chanzi heard this, he hurriedly bowed down to oppose Wukong and said: "Wukong, what you said is still reasonable!But now I'm afraid there is one more thing, just seeing the faint king, I can't ask about it directly, I'm afraid that the faint king doesn't distinguish between far and near, and blames him for rumors, how can this be good?"

Wukong smiled and said, "Master, don't worry." Lao Sun has his own mana, I will take the children in the goose cage out of this city tonight, so that those officials will have nothing to take care of tomorrow. At that time, the magistrate will naturally make a statement, and the faint king will have a will, or consult with the abbot, or choose another report. Master, at that time, by this performance, it will never affect us. ”
