Chapter 131: Thorn Ridge
Tang Seng hurriedly clasped his palms and bowed, and said to the lonely straight man: "You girl is stubborn! This is the holy monk of Dongtu, why don't you return the salute?" The girl listened, and quickly restrained a lot, and stepped forward to return the salute to Tang Seng gently: "I have seen the holy monk!" Tang Seng hurriedly said: "How dare you, how dare you!" Quietly glanced at this apricot fairy, Tang Seng couldn't help but feel a little hot in his heart, and quickly withdrew his gaze. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
The girl was about sixteen or seventeen years of age, beautiful and lovely, tall and plump, and had an innocent look on her face. Seeing the girl return to the eighteenth prince, and the affectionate past coquettishness, Tang Seng couldn't help but remind Tang Seng of the moment when he was reunited with his parents when he was eighteen years old. It's a pity that later, his mother died of illness, and he entered the empty door again, thinking of this, Tang Seng couldn't help but have some moistness in his eyes.
"Holy monk, Xingxian is also a clumsy friend of the elderly, good at poetry and dancing. Today coincides with the arrival of the holy monk, why don't you let the Xingxian girl sing a song, I don't know if the holy monk is willing to appreciate it?" Tang Seng hurriedly retracted his thoughts and said happily: "In this way, the poor monk has the courage to stay." When he had finished speaking, he sat down with the Eighteen Princes.
Xingxian secretly glanced at Tang Seng, her face was slightly red, and she stepped forward to personally offer fragrant tea. Tang Seng also glanced at Xingxian quietly, and couldn't help but feel hot in his heart again, and quickly lowered his eyelids and set his eyes on the tea. Seeing this, Xingxian said with some grievances: "Why doesn't the holy monk drink it, is it because the little woman's tea is not fragrant?" Xingxian's voice was soft and good, so that Tang Seng quickly came back to his senses, picked up the tea and took a bite.
Seeing that Tang Seng had eaten tea, the eighteen princes picked up the tea cup and raised their glasses to accompany the guests: "Hahahaha, the Buddha has drunk, please!"
"Please!"
Xingxian saw Tang Seng eating her tea, and her face couldn't help but show a look of joy. The red demons behind him also played the flute, only to see the pink clouds drifting, the girl holding an apricot blossom branch and leaf, while chanting and dancing: peach and plum Fangfei pear blossom smile, how can it be more noisy than my branch spring? peony Yanna plum is pretty, how can it be more rainy and red than me? A fragrant tea welcomes the arrival of the king, the stars are shaking, the clouds are fluttering, why bother the west is thousands of miles away? Joy is today, joy is tonight......
Tang Seng watched the girl sing and dance, his heart was very comfortable, although he wanted to see the girl's appearance more, but he felt that it was inappropriate, so he had to withdraw his gaze from time to time. It wasn't until after the girl finished dancing that she still remembered it for a long time. The Eighteenth Duke asked Tang Seng: "Holy monk, how about Xingxian singing and dancing?" Tang Seng listened to it and blurted out praise: "Manwu light song, wonderful!"
Lonely Zhigong listened, because he said: "Listening to the song and dance of the apricot fairy, it seems that you have admiration for the holy monk?"
When Xingxian heard this, her face turned red, and she quietly hid to the side and stopped making a sound. When Tang Seng heard this, his heart was hot again, but his brain quickly sobered up. But Fu Yunsuo said: "Xingxian is a feeling of admiration, how can the holy monk not have the intention of bowing down?" Tang Seng hurriedly said: "No, you obviously said that you invited me to talk about poetry and friends, why do you want to deceive the poor monk now?"
As soon as Tang Seng spoke, Xingxian sobbed and cried. When the eighteenth prince saw it, he said distressedly: "Holy monk, don't let down the little girl's heart." There is a clumsy old man here as proof, and the lonely and straightforward public is the matchmaker, and it is not an open-air wilderness. This apricot fairy has been dead since she was a child, and she is helpless, and the holy monk is to save the suffering, why not fulfill her?" Tang Seng heard this, and hurriedly took a few steps back: "No, Amitabha!"
"Tang Seng!" Seeing that Tang Seng insisted on not complying, a red ghost couldn't help but step forward and grabbed him. "Okay, you monk! Xingxian is the goddess of our little demons, I usually don't even dare to talk to her, you dare to break her heart? Be careful that I destroy you, so that you can't even be a monk!" Tang Seng was scared to death when he saw it, but seeing that Xingxian was still on the side, he didn't have a soft face.
"You are presumptuous!"
Tang Seng's drink frightened this red ghost!"Look at the Muxian Nunnery, there are all respected immortals and fairies, full of poetry, humble gentlemen, how can you be so rude!" After Tang Seng finished speaking, even he was taken aback by his own momentum, and he drank so much that the red ghost and the lonely straight man were stunned. Seeing this, Xingxian hurriedly stepped forward and pushed away the red ghost: "You're too much, get out of the way!"
The red ghost was stunned for a moment, and then left with his head down. Xingxian stepped forward and said to Tang Seng: "Holy monk, you are really a Buddha with a big heart, since you are not afraid of monsters, why can't you accept me?" Tang Seng listened to her pitiful words, quickly turned his back, clasped his palms and said: "The poor monk is a Buddha, how can he waste the great cause of learning scriptures here." Fairy, please respect yourself, poor monks forgive their fate, Amitabha Buddha ......"
"Holy monk!" The girl looked at Tang Seng's appearance, and couldn't help crying again, Tang Seng also closed her eyes tightly, and finally couldn't help but shout: "Wukong-!" He shouted, and Sun Wukong's voice really came out: "Master-!" Sun Wukong shouted, Xingxian, Eighteen Dukes, they were all shocked, and they disappeared without a trace. After Tang Seng saw Sun Wukong, he stepped forward and hugged him tightly.
"Goku!"
"Master!"
Under the moon before the flowers, in the middle of the night, the master and apprentice hugged each other and cried, unwilling to part for a long time.
Gao Lan stood aside and glared at them several times: "Hey, you two are enough, what kind of mood!" Gao Lan was shouting, Bajie ran behind the table early, took the fruit plate and tea and ate it. When Sun Wukong saw it, he went over and kicked it to a pulp: "Oh, you idiot! This is the ecstasy soup that the tree spirit vine monster gave to the master!" After Wukong finished speaking, he jumped on the gate of the nunnery and pulled out the Ruyi Golden Hoop Stick.
"You are so bold, watch my grandson break your roots!"
"Wukong!" Tang Seng hurriedly stopped, "Wukong, although they have become the climate, they are just chanting poems and making the moon, and they have not harmed them as teachers, let them go." When Sun Wukong heard this, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't you want the master to be so infatuated?" Sun Wukong said as he jumped around, scratched his face with his hand, and circled around Tang Seng, until he was so embarrassed that his bald face was red, and he said straightly: "You monkey head, Hugh has to make fun of it!"
Bajie was angry, picked up the nail rake, and said: "Since they are monsters, let my old pig get rid of them, which can be regarded as a credit on the westward journey." As he spoke, he picked up the nail rake and was about to build it, not wanting to be stopped by Gao Lan: "Old pig, the master said forget it, just let them go?" Bajie picked up the leakage board along the way, and there were too many innocent creatures killed, Gao Lan really couldn't see it.
"Okay, for the sake of my lady's face, spare you. Bajie snorted, and Gao Lan's impression of him suddenly became much better: "Thank you, old pig." ”
However, after leaving Muxian Nunnery, the road to the west was even more unsmooth. The master and apprentice walked more than ten miles, but it was overgrown with thorns and covered the sky, and it was almost impassable. Tang Seng glanced at the vine stinger in front of him, and couldn't help but hurriedly say: "Wukong, how deep are the thorns ahead?" Sun Wukong listened, drove the wind to investigate, and also said: "Master, I'm afraid it's not less than six hundred miles!"
"How good is this!" Tang Seng listened, his face was sad. At this time, Bajie came over and said: "Master, what's so difficult about this, there is my old pig here, and there is no hurdle that the master can't pass." When Tang Seng heard this, he unconsciously asked: "Bajie, do you have the magic power to get through these thorns?" Bajie smiled and said: "Master, as long as you make a contribution to my old pig on the way west, I am willing to serve." ”
"Okay, I'll make a big contribution to the teacher!" Tang Seng agreed. When Bajie heard this, he immediately walked to the front of the road happily, holding a nail rake in his hand, and shouted: "Big!" I saw that suddenly, the old pig's body exploded, although it was not the magic power of the law and the heavens and the earth, but at least the body was huge, and the most important thing was that the nail rake in his hand had also become a Taoist treasure dozens of zhang long.
Gao Lan and the others were all stunned, they didn't expect the old pig to be so capable.
"Haha, open it for me!" Bajie let out a long laugh, proudly raised the nail rake, and in just one stroke, he ploughed out the avenue of dozens of zhang! Sun Wukong smiled: "This idiot is an expert in plowing and farming." If we change it, there is really no way to take the vines of this Thorn Ridge!" Sha Seng also smiled: "Senior brother is right!" Tang Seng was even more overjoyed, with Bajie opening the way in front, and he and his apprentices accompanied him all the way behind.
It took a whole day to open up a broad road several zhang wide and 600 miles long on the Thorn Ridge.
This time, Tang Seng really wrote down a great credit for the old pig in the credit book!
After crossing Thorn Ridge, the road ahead finally widened. Tang Seng was able to get on the horse again and go all the way west, but he still looked back from time to time, which made several apprentices muttered in private. In the evening, everyone found an open space to make a fire and cook, and Sun Wukong couldn't help but say: "Senior sister, everyone is bored now, why don't you continue to sing?" ”
"No problem, what song does Brother Monkey want to listen to?" Gao Lan listened to it and immediately stood up knowingly. Sun Wukong smiled and said: "I want to listen to "Why Bother in the West". ”
"Poof......" As soon as Sun Wukong's voice fell, Tang Seng squirted out a mouthful of old rice. Sha Seng said to Tang Seng: "Master, Senior Brother is right!" Tang Seng was so angry that he wanted to curse, but he almost bit his tongue. At this time, Gao Lan also used a spell and freed up a colorful cloud, and the sand and stones suddenly flew on the clearing, blowing Tang Seng's eyes swollen! Gao Lan twisted his waist and sang with a snarking voice.
"Peach and plum Fangfei, pear blossom smile, how can it be more troublesome than my branch spring?......"
Gao Lan sang, and specially ran to Sun Wukong to offer wine, which made the monkey laugh. Sha Seng patted Bajie's arm and said happily: "Second Senior Brother, look at the two of them!" Bajie was so angry that he kicked his feet: "I didn't see anything!" After Gao Lan finished singing, he also said to Sun Wukong: "Great Sage, Xiaolan has admiration, how can the Great Sage not have the intention of bowing down?"
Sun Wukong also pretended to shrink to the side, and said seriously: "No, the poor monk has already promised to be a Buddha, how can he waste the matter of learning scriptures?" Sha Seng also stood up very cooperatively and said: "Senior brother, now that the master is here as a witness, my old sand is a matchmaker, and it is not an open-air wilderness." You just promise to come down!" Bajie heard this, and jumped up angrily: "Okay, you Bi Ma Wen, my old pig and you ...... fight"
"That's enough!" Tang Seng threw the purple gold bowl on the ground, his eyes were red, and the rice was spilled on the ground, which frightened everyone.
