Chapter 2 No Fish in the Sand

It is said that the Monkey cat and the woman ran a long way to the bottom of a large waterfall. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info This waterfall flows very elegantly, as if the Weaver Girl in the sky accidentally dropped a wisp of silver in the world, flying down on the top of the high mountain with green shade, "whooshing" to beat the abrupt rocks on the mountainside, and the splashing water fell into the pool water below the mountain, stirring up ripples, adding a touch of coolness to this hot summer day.

Seeing that Zhu Bajie did not chase after him, they sat down on a broken rock next to the waterfall to rest.

"Thank you for telling me the secret of transforming into a human, you are so beautiful!" Sun Wumao said happily to the woman, who lowered her head, smiled implicitly, and did not make a sound.

"I haven't had time to ask, what's your name?" asked Sun Wumao continued.

"I don't have a name. ”

"No name?" Sun Wu Mao's eyes rolled and thought for a moment, "Then how about your name is Sha Wuyu?"

"Sand, none, fish. The woman repeated it word for word, smiled and asked, "Why?"

"Because my master's name is Sun Wukong, I am a cat, and the master named me Sun Wumao; the owner of Zhu Bagou is called Zhu Bajie, he is a dog, and his master named him Zhu Bagou; and you are rescued by Monk Sha when he was fetching water in Lingyundu, it just so happens that the Buddha did not give him a pet, Lingyundu, I think you will not go back, why don't you stay and be Monk Sha's pet?" Sun Wumao thought to himself, such a beautiful woman has to find a way to let her stay, don't do it, and don't care if he likes it or not, let's talk about it first.

"Well, if you can, then it's an honor!" the woman laughed at the two dimples, "but what does that have to do with the name you gave me?"

Sun Wumao didn't expect her to agree so easily, and said happily: "That's great! Monk Sha is his nickname, his Dharma name is Sha Wujing, and you are a fish, so you can call Sha Wuyu." It's just that the word 'enlightenment' in the middle I think it's a little inappropriate to use it on women, so it's better to take its homonym 'none', sand, none, fish!, how about it?"

"Okay!" the woman stood up happily, "Then my name will be Sha Wuyu! Thank you! Hee-hee!" but her smile quickly sank again, "I just don't know, the Shane Guild won't take me in." ”

"I promise you, it will!" Sun Wumao said happily, "In addition, don't call me Engong in the future, it sounds very awkward, just call me Wumao!"

"Okay! Engong! for the last time!" "Sha Wuyu was already very beautiful, but it was even more beautiful when she smiled, and Sun Wumao watched her every move.

Sun Wumao also stood up and stretched out facing the waterfall: "The feeling of walking on two legs is amazing!"

"Forgive me for taking the liberty of being presumptuous, can I ask you a question?" Sha Wuyu asked Sun Wumao.

"Absolutely. ”

"Looking at what Sha Engong is wearing, I think it should be a cultivator, I don't know what the purpose of coming here is Lingyundu?"

"Passing the scriptures. ”

"Passing on the scriptures?"

"That's right, from the West Heaven Leiyin Temple to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to teach the true scriptures, passing by here, I don't want to meet monsters just after Lingyundu...... Oh! That's right!" Sun Wumao seemed to suddenly remember something, "My master and Monk Sha went to Lingyundu in the morning, and never came back, just now when I went to fetch water with Zhubagou, I didn't see any trace of the master, only found one of his shoes not far from the shore, and I didn't have time to think about it at that time and took it back, now I'm worried that he will have something wrong." ”

"You mean... ”

"That's right, I heard Monk Sha say that Tang Sanzang was eaten by Lingyundu's monsters, and my master then went with him, I'm worried that they will all be eaten by that monster?"

"Oh, it turns out that the elder with kind eyebrows is called Tang Sanzang. I saw with my own eyes that it was the thousand-year-old dragon catfish that pursued me who ate him!"

"No, I have to save my master!" Sun Wumao asked Sha Wuyu, "Do you know why that dragon catfish eats Tang Sanzang?"

"I think it was because I got into the purple gold bowl and broke the seal, so that I was able to escape, and the dragon catfish mistakenly thought that Elder Tang did it, so he was angry and retaliated. Sha Wuyu said guiltily, "It seems that your master was also eaten by it." ”

Sun Wumao thought about it again and said: "How is it possible? It would not be surprising if Tang Sanzang was eaten by it, no matter how my master said that he had also practiced for five hundred years, seventy-two changes were supernatural, and a wishful golden hoop rod weighed 13,500 catties, and it crushed that monster to death!"

"You don't know how powerful the dragon catfish is, that Lingyundu is the only way for cultivators to become Buddhas, there is a bottomless boat on the river, but all practitioners who want to cross the river must take it, after getting on the boat, the body will fall from the bottom of the boat into the river, leaving only the Yuan Shen in the boat, so that he will be reborn into a Buddha. The falling flesh was eaten by the dragon catfish, and hundreds of cultivators came to cross the river every year, and the dragon catfish had eaten a thousand years of people, and the mana was boundless, and there was no way to connect the Buddha to him!" She paused, turned around and walked towards Ling Yundu: "I'll go and change them back!"

"You can't go!" Sun Wumao stopped her, "You stay here, I'll figure it out!"

"You can't fight it, and I should remedy the trouble I have caused, and it wants me, as long as I agree to its request, it will definitely let them go." ”

"I can't defeat it?" Sun Wumao said angrily, "It's a monster in Lingyundu, so far away from my Buddha Rulai, even if it cultivates for 10,000 years, how many abilities can it have? I can't be the head of the 'Eight Yin Protectors' in the Lingshan Mountain?

"Then I'll go with you! I can have a foil!" Sha Wuyu's eyes were full of worry and pleading.

Sun Wumao hesitated: "Okay, it's okay to go together, but you have to promise me that you can't do what you say!"

"Yes! I promise you!"

Sun Wumao took Sha Wuyu back to the Bodhi tree first, ready to explain to Zhu Bajie, and by the way, he also moved a rescuer. But when they arrived, Zhu Bajie and Zhu Bagou were long gone, and the shoes he brought back were gone.

"It seems that they have already gone," said Sun Wumao, "let's go, let's catch up!"

Arrive at Lingyundu, look at it, that Lingyundu is about eight or nine miles wide, the waves are rolling, the hustle and bustle shakes the sky, it comes through the mountain and breaks the wall, it flows thousands of miles away, there is a single-plank bridge across the river, there is a big stone flat standing on the side of the bridge, and "Lingyundu" is engraved on it.

Sun Wucat did not see any trace of Zhu Bajie and Zhu Bagou, but found his master's shoe on the shore, and he walked over to pick it up, which was the one it had taken back before.

"Could it be that Zhu Bajie and Zhu Bagou were also eaten by that monster?" Sun Wumao muttered to himself, and then shook his head, "Impossible." ”

"Pig Eight Dogs......" Sun Wumao shouted in all directions, but there was no response.

"Yokai...... You come out for Lao Tzu......" Sun Wumao shouted loudly into the river again, but the river was still the same.

Sun Wumao shouted tired, but still said to Sha Wuyu unwillingly: "If no one can prove with his own mouth that he saw my master, Monk Sha, Zhu Bajie, and Zhu Bagou being eaten by monsters, I don't believe in this result." ”

"I hope so. Sha Wuyu replied.

"Still, I'm going to go into the water to meet that monster and figure it out, at least that's the most likely possibility!"

Just as Sun Wumao was about to jump into Lingyundu, he remembered that he didn't know water at all.

"Wuyu, I don't know water, can you teach me?"

"This ...... I was born in the water, and I am naturally familiar with the nature of water, so I don't know how to teach it?"

"That's right, what can I do?"

Sun Wumao was frowning, and Sha Wuyu suddenly had an idea.

"I have a way to teach you the art of going underwater, but I don't know if it's possible. ”

"What's the way? It's feasible! Let's talk about it!" Sun Wumao thought to himself, as long as there is a way, it doesn't matter if it's feasible.

"There is a country in the east thirty miles, called the country of the corpse, because it is rich in a kind of large-leaf blood bamboo called "the corpse", and there is a mountain in the west of its capital city of Bharos, called the Skull Mountain, on the top of the mountain there is a square city of human skulls, there is a skull hall in the city, and there is a skeleton couple living in the temple, they step on the conch and the shell to stand on the lotus sun and moon wheel mat, as long as they borrow a shell on the mat, not only can they walk on the ground under the water, but also can soar in the sky and drive the clouds. ”

"Okay, take me quickly!" said Sun Wumao excitedly.

"But ......"

"But how?"

"Not to mention whether the skeleton couple will lend you the shells, the journey from the bottom of the mountain to the top of the mountain alone is very difficult, difficult, not only to pass through the infamous corpse forest, but also to encounter countless caves, large and small, whether there will be any demons and monsters in it, very dangerous. ”

"Is there a better way?"

"No ......"

"If you get to Skull Mountain, are you afraid?"

"Don't be afraid!"

Sun Wu Mao dusted off his master's shoe and put it in his arms:

"Then let's hit the road!"

On the road.

"Wu Mao, when you were under the waterfall, what did you do with the 'Eight Yin Protectors' of Lingshan?" asked Sha Wuyu.

"Oh, Bayin Dharma Protector, we are on the top of the Spirit Mountain to protect the Dharma, guard the Spirit Mountain, and protect the Spirit Mountain from internal worries. I am the head of the eight yin, the cat, and the other seven are the tiger, the lion, the leopard, the lynx, the caracal, the raccoon, and the raccoon. Sun Wumao said, "Zhu Bagou is the head of Lingshan's 'Four Protectors', and the other three are wolves, raccoon dogs, and foxes, who are guarding Lingshan at the foot of Lingshan to protect Lingshan from external troubles." We add up to twelve. ”

"To be the head of the Eight Yin and the head of the Four Dogs, you and Zhu Bagou must be very powerful!" Sha Wuyu exclaimed with great admiration.

Sun Wumao laughed at himself ashamedly: "Where is vast, no matter from which aspect, they will throw me and Zhu Bagou 108,000 miles, the reason why we can become the first is because we came the earliest, and we know how to please the Buddha!"

"Then why did the Buddha order the two of you to be accompanied by Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice?"

"I don't know this, the Buddha didn't point it out, I think it's the tiger who is getting in the way, he has never obeyed me, he has long wanted to take my place, maybe it's a fox on the side of the pig, I always think that the fox is insidious and cunning. ”

Sun Wumao continued: "There is also Ao Lie who went together, that is, the white horse tied under the Bodhi tree just now, in fact, he is a dragon, he was the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, this guy was ridden and regarded himself as high, we have always regarded each other as air, let the clear guy be tied there." ”

As they chatted and walked, they poured out many joys and sorrows to each other, and soon came to the front of Skull Mountain.
