Chapter 147: Zhu Ziguo
"Hmm. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info" Tang Seng stood up with his hands behind his back, paced back and forth a few steps, and looked at these people. "Apprentices, the eight hundred miles ahead are rotten persimmons, blocking the way west. Mr. Li said that he wanted to open another road, but that was unlikely. Which of you has a way to talk about it and listen to it as a teacher?" Tang Seng said, looking at Gao Lan first, "Xiaolan, what do you say?" Gao Lan listened, stepped forward and said: "Report to the chief, everything is subject to organizational arrangements." ”
"Stand down!" Tang Seng was unhappy for a while, every time Gao Lan discussed things, this was the case, and what he said was equivalent to not saying it. At this time, Sun Wukong said: "Master, according to my old grandson's opinion, it is not easy to get a road? When Li Laohan heard this, he hurriedly said: "Elder, you are the life-saving benefactor of our village, not to mention taking care of a few meals, even for ten or eight years, that is definitely enough!"
Sun Wukong said with a smile: "In this case, you should prepare more dry rice, steamed buns, and let this monk with a long mouth and big ears eat to his heart's content! He has become a big pig and arches rotten persimmons, and the road will not be passed?" Sha Seng heard this, and also came over and said: "Second senior brother, senior brother is right!" Bajie couldn't help but be furious: "Okay, you Bi Ma Wen, you have said all the decent words, and leave the dirtiest and most tiring work to my old pig to do!"
Bajie said, so angry that he sat on the ground, his nostrils kept puffing. Seeing this, Tang Seng immediately stepped up: "Virtuous apprentice, along the way as a teacher, I have seen you show your ability." Although it is not as good as a monkey's head to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, you are the one to open the road in the mountains and build a bridge in the water! I think that at the beginning, you alone opened up the road of the thorn ridge, and now you will arch through this rotten persimmon Tong, and obtain the true scriptures for the teacher to tell the Buddha, and then remember your first merit!"
"Really?" Bajie listened, then he got up happily, and said a little proudly: "Master's words are true. If my old pig becomes lighter, if he becomes stupid, it will not be difficult for me at all! In this case, let all the villagers bring dry rice and steamed buns, and I can only work when I have eaten enough!" When the villagers heard this, they hurriedly lit the fire and opened the rice, cooked a bunch of fasting rice, and entertained Bajie.
The old pig took off his clothes, and said with a smile while eating: "Don't laugh at me, but look at my old pig's ability!"
Bajie ate and drank to his heart's content, pinched up the trick, and drank: "Change!" suddenly turned into a big fat pig that covered the sky and the sun, and the four white hooves were thousands of feet high, like a small mountain! All the villagers saw it and sighed, Li Laohan couldn't help but say to Gao Lan: "Miss Xiaolan, your husband is very good!" Gao Lan heard this, and looked up at the giant pig again, and the expression on his face was very rich.
"Eldest sister, I think it's a misunderstanding. ”
Not long after, Bajie has already started, in front of the arch road, Sun Wukong led the horse with Tang Seng to accompany him, and the villagers of Luozhuang carried the grain together in the back, and took turns to serve the old pig to eat. In a few days, the 800-mile rotten persimmon has been arched by Bajie to open a road! The villagers did not slack off at all, insisted on transporting water and grain, until the avenue led to the west entrance of the rotten persimmon, and then reluctantly said goodbye to the Tang monk and apprentice.
Since then, the Seven Peerless Mountains have restored the peace of previous years, not only in addition to the monsters, but also through the road of rotten persimmons. Every year in the autumn season, when people go to the mountains to eat persimmons, they will not forget the kindness of Tang monks and apprentices to eliminate demons, and they are grateful for Zhu Bajie, who is not afraid of dirt and helps everyone to open a broad road.
After the master and apprentice crossed the Seven Peerless Mountains, they finally stepped on the flat avenue. Along the way, Gao Lan and Sun Wukong flirted and scolded, Bajie was depressed, Sha Seng was sullen, and Tang Seng was arrogant, but he walked with taste. This walk is about two months, Tang monks and apprentices continue to travel west, unconsciously gradually came to a densely populated area, this day into a tall city, the city gate is written "Zhu Ziguo".
"Apprentices, look at this Western Regions city, the customs and customs are very different from the Eastern Regions!"
At this time, it is late autumn and early winter, and the weather is turning cold. Tang Seng rode on a horse, looking at the passers-by wearing round hats and skirt robes around him, he couldn't help but be full of joy and emotion. It has begun to approach the land of the western sky, and the house buildings are also very different from the east, the tall buildings are covered by tiles, the carved buildings are windows, and the merchants on the extended street are shuttling non-stop, showing the exotic customs of the Western Regions.
"Master only cares about appreciating the customs, who cares if the apprentices are hungry. Bajie walked aside and carried the burden, and couldn't help complaining repeatedly. Sun Wukong finally seized the opportunity and twisted his ear: "Well, you idiot, just now in Luo Camel Village, I don't know how many thousand stones and rice you eat, why do you still feel hungry?" Bajie was so painful that he couldn't break free, and said hurriedly: "My old pig is doing hard work, can you not be hungry fast? Besides, it's been a few days!"
Tang Seng hurriedly stopped Sun Wukong and said, "Wukong, don't be embarrassed." It is only because of what he has done that he can eat! Now that the master is also hungry, it is better for us to find an inn in this city and settle down, and for the master to go to the king first, change the official documents, and it is not too late for our master and apprentice to go west after resting. Tang Seng said, Sun Wukong let go of his hand, covered his mouth and laughed secretly.
He was actually looking for an opportunity to bully the old pig, and Sha Seng also took the opportunity to say: "Senior brother, Master is right!"
Gao Lan wiped her face from behind: "To you brother-in-law." ”
Soon, the master and apprentice found a good inn in the city and quickly settled down. Tang Seng said to his disciple: "For the teacher, now go to meet the king, change the official documents, a few of you stay here, don't go out to make trouble, do you hear?" everyone said: "I know, I know." I wished that Tang Seng would get out of here quickly, and sure enough, after Tang Seng left, Sun Wukong made a fuss.
Sha Seng said: "Senior brother, the rules of this inn are different from those of Dongtu, there is no restaurant, and there is no food. We don't have rice or vegetables, and we don't have firewood, rice, and fumes, how can this be good?" Sun Wukong smiled: "What's so difficult about this, the little junior sister has money, and I also have some silver here." Why don't we go to the street and buy some things and come back?" Hearing this, Sha Seng shouted repeatedly: "Senior brother is right!"
Sun Wukong glanced at Bajie, saw that he was silent on the side, leaned over and shouted, "Brother Xian......"
Bajie arched the monkey away: "Don't bother with me!" Sun Wukong laughed and said: "Bajie, this is going out to buy and sell things, Lao Sun is not good." Why don't you go out with me?" Bajie said: "Don't go! With my old pig's experience over the years, you will bully me again as soon as you go on the street, I won't go!" Sun Wukong glanced at him in surprise and said, "How did you become smart as a pig?"
"Huh?"
"No, no, no......" Sun Wukong said and hurriedly went to chat with Sha Seng to make the old pig happy. "I said, Senior Brother Sha, we seem to have seen a lot of delicious things on the street just now, right?" Sha Seng listened, and said: "Yes, there are many delicious things! What are the beautiful steamed shrimp, and what are the small Zhang grilled fish! What kind of Ba Xi barbecue, a leg of mutton is so old and thick......
Bajie listened, his ears flicked, and he stood up as soon as he breathed, listening to what Sun Wukong said, and his saliva gushed a lot. Sun Wukong said: "Let's go out to buy vegetables and cook together, why don't we go to the restaurant outside?" By the way, a few bottles of wine, wouldn't it be enjoyable?" Sha Seng said: "Senior brother is right! But the second senior brother is not willing to go together, what can I do?"
Sun Wukong said: "Then let's go together, let's eat his share by ourselves!"
"Brother Monkey!" Bajie heard this, rushed out of the door, stepped forward and hugged Sun Wukong's thigh, "Brother Monkey, take me with you!"
Sun Wukong couldn't help but laugh and said, "Bajie, this is what you begged me to take you!" Bajie said coquettishly: "Good monkey brother, please take me with you?" Sun Wukong suddenly laughed and said: "Senior Brother Sha, little junior sister, Bajie has a lot of food, don't follow you, let's go to the next restaurant!" Sha Seng said: "Alas, senior brother is eccentric, then there is no way." ”
Gao Lan also sighed: "Old pig, this idiot ......"
That's it, Bajie followed Sun Wukong and ran out. The two walked around until the afternoon came back, Sun Wukong laughed from outside the room to the room, rolling on the ground, and the old pig really cried with a sad face, and jumped to his feet angrily: "Okay, you are a Bi Ma Wen, and you are playing tricks on my old pig......! You hook the second sister-in-law, you can't die well!" Bajie said, pulling out a roll of bright yellow cotton silk from his arms, and fell to the ground with hatred.
"Hey, Second Senior Brother, what is this?" asked Sha Seng. Bajie glanced at the monkey who was still smiling evilly, and said angrily: "You ask him!"
Before the old pig could speak, he saw a group of officials break into the inn and said to Bajie: "Elder Pig, this is the list of the king of Zhu Ziguo, you uncovered the list and dared not enter the palace to seek medical treatment for Your Majesty, what should you be guilty of!" Bajie was so anxious that he blushed and his neck was thick, and he pointed to Sun Wukong and said: "It was he who took the list, not me! You have something to ask him directly!" Those officials listened and walked respectfully to Sun Wukong's side.
"Elder, is that what you revealed?"
"Exactly. Sun Wukong grinned. The official asked, "Can the elders heal?"
Sun Wukong pretended to stand up and said, "My old grandson naturally has the ability to cure the disease." It's just that if you want my grandson to go out, you need the king himself to invite you. When the official heard this, his face turned pale with fright: "Why do you want Your Majesty to invite you personally?" Sun Wukong didn't answer, turned his back and didn't pay attention to them. The officials glanced at each other, and finally said, "In that case, let's go back to the palace and report to Your Majesty!"
And at this time, inside the palace of King Zhu Zi.
In the spacious and gorgeous foreign palace, Tang Seng was meeting the king of Zhu Ziguo. The king, who was in his early thirties, was very handsome and extraordinarily handsome, but he was sick and weak, and he was weak in speech. However, he heard that Tang Seng was a senior monk of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Territory, but he still had a strong body and treated each other with national courtesy, which made Tang Seng very moved; the two talked in the palace for a long time, and they didn't feel very speculative.
"Alas, since the widow suffered from this stubborn disease three years ago, his body is becoming more and more decadent, and I am afraid that his life will not last long. The holy monk is from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and he must be a high-ranking monk, I don't know if he can heal the widow?" King Zhu Ziguo saw that the Tang monk was dignified, his appearance was good, and he had traveled thousands of mountains and rivers, and he decided that he must not be an ordinary person;
"This ......" Tang Seng was embarrassed for a while when he heard it. Although he was full of poetry and books, proficient in Buddhist rituals, but in fact he was an embroidered pillow, which could not be of practical use, and hurriedly excused himself: "Your Majesty, the poor monk is just a monk who walks on his feet, all the way to the west, meets Zhuang Huazhai, meets the temple and sleeps overnight, where does he have the talent to practice medicine to help the world? Although he was wrongly loved by His Majesty, the poor monk was powerless to help, and he was ashamed in his heart. ”
"Holy monks, don't be modest. The king reluctantly sat up a little straighter, looked at Tang Seng and sighed. "The holy monk may not have seen the widow's call for doctors, right? The widow has said first, if someone can cure the widow's suffering, divide the country equally, and share the society. Holy monk, don't shirk!" Tang Seng listened, and was so anxious that hot sweat broke out on his neck, "Your Majesty, the poor monk is really powerless......
"Your Majesty!" Just when Tang Seng was very anxious, a minister hurriedly walked into the palace and knelt in front of the king. Tang Seng was relieved of his urgent needs, and then he breathed a long sigh of relief, pondered and diverted the topic, and hurriedly found an opportunity to change the official document! I didn't want this official to rush out: "Your Majesty! The list you posted was exposed by Elder Sun Wukong Sun from the Tang Dynasty from the Eastern Soil!"
Poof!
Tang Seng fell crookedly and almost didn't fall to the ground!
