The old man said, "We mortals don't try to figure out the thoughts of the mountain gods. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 infoSince the little master has come to our village, Tang Sanzang and his party must not be far away. I have to go to the mountain temple and tell the mountain god. ”

The monkey said, "I'll go too." ”

The old man and his family left the monkey to eat fasting first, and there was no need to go to the mountain temple. The monkey insisted on going, so the old man followed him, and the old and the young went to the mountain temple.

Because it is the meal time in the afternoon, the people in the mountain village have two meals a day, and the afternoon meal is not eaten in the evening. —so there were fewer people in the temple than before—but there were also men, women, and children. The old man lit the incense, and knelt down to put the incense in prayer, and told the mountain god what the monkey had said in its original form.

The monkey looked at the people around him, they were very curious to look at him, there was a close distance to hear the content of the old man's words, and heard Tang Sanzang's words not far away, people came around the monkey, and asked the monkey about Tang Sanzang's going to the west to learn scriptures and passing here, and the words he said were similar to what the old man said, all of them got the image of the mountain god, and asked them to meet Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice, etc., and quickly came to the temple to burn incense and pray.

The monkey was amazed in his heart, and felt that something was strange, how could there be a mountain god who let ordinary people do eyeliner like this, the mountain god was a fairy, and as soon as the Sanzang master and apprentice entered the mountain range, if he had the heart to investigate, it was not difficult to know the news.

The monkey wanted to see how strange this mountain god was, so he told the old man what he had said to the people around him, and these people couldn't hide their disappointment on their faces, because the old man seized the opportunity and told the mountain god the news of the monks who had learned the scriptures.

The monkey smiled: "Don't be discouraged, don't be discouraged by the benefactors, isn't the scripture learner not yet here, I also have to wait here for the scripture learner, follow the scripture learner to the west to worship the Buddha, you have leisure, you can also go to the village to wait, see the scripture learner come into the mountain temple to pray, don't it seem more sincere." ”

As soon as everyone heard the reason, some villagers went out, discussed with their families, and waited outside the village from afar. The news spread all at once, but after a while, the whole village knew the news that the scripture learner was coming soon, and the young man went out of the village to look for it, holding the portrait of the master and apprentice of Sanzang in his hand.

After listening to the people's words, the monkey knew that the gods of the land and mountains were all holy, and asked the villagers to help find out the whereabouts of the Sanzang master and apprentice, and as soon as there was news, they entered the temple to make a report.

At this point, the monkey was sure that the land of the mountain god was strange, and the old man finished burning incense and returned home with the monkey.

The monkey saw that the table was full of vegetarian and vegetarian wine, and said unhappily: "Uncle, there are no chickens, ducks and pork at home, so let's get some to drink." This wine is also light, so it is better to have a few catties of spirits to moisten your throat. ”

The old man was stunned and said, "Little Master is a real monk?"

The monkey said: "Look at my bald head, look at my monk's clothes and hat, naturally I am a real monk, not fake at all!"

The old man said: "The little master is a monk, so he doesn't want to be taboo about meat?"

The monkey said: "I was originally taboo about meat, but since I met Master Sanzang, I have learned that there is another way to be a monk, that is, to cultivate Hongchen." If you cultivate Hongchen, you will not be afraid of meat, there is good wine, good food and good meat, although the old man comes up. ”

The old man smiled and said, "Yes, yes, since the little master is a cultivator of Hongchen and does not taboo meat, then kill a chicken and stew it." ”

The monkey said: "Stewing chicken is too troublesome, and it takes a long time, why don't you go to the tavern in the village to have any cooked beef and old bacon or something, go and cut it into seventeen or eight catties, and the wine in the old cellar, go get thirty or forty catties, let's drink it slowly, and I can tell you some interesting stories about the master and apprentice of Tang Sanzang." ”

The old man said: "Little Master, although you have enough wine and meat, there is only one thing, you have to rely on me." ”

The monkey said: "Uncle, don't say one thing, it's ten or twenty things, as long as you manage enough wine and meat, I will depend on you." ”

The old man smiled and said, "Okay, good, little master is refreshing, my matter is also very easy, little master can help me solve it with a little effort." ”

"Uncle, please make it clear. The monkey laughed.

The old man said: "The person who learns the scriptures may come to my village tomorrow, maybe the day after tomorrow, or he will not come to my village, the little master is going to wait for the person who learns the scriptures, we will go to the people who take the scriptures far away outside the village early tomorrow morning, what do you think?"

The monkey smiled and said: "Why should the old man be like this, if the person who learns the scriptures wants to cross this mountain, he must come to this village to stay overnight, and he doesn't have to." ”

The old man smiled and said: "Little Master, I borrow you for two things, the first is that you know the master and apprentice of the scripture learner, and you won't blink your eyes, and the second is to get the exact news before others see the scripture learner, so that you can go to the mountain temple to tell the mountain god to know." The land of the mountain gods here is very effective, and it is often manifested, and we are sincere in doing things, and the rewards of the land of the mountain gods will be abundant. ”

The monkey said: "I see, that's okay, tonight I'm full of wine and meat, and tomorrow morning, I'll go back and take the master and apprentice of the scripture into your manor to live, how about it?"

The old man was overjoyed, and the father-in-law's family and children all showed joy.

It was also the old man who instructed his son to go to the south of the village to cut cooked beef, and took out the old bacon at home, and instructed his wife and daughter-in-law to kill chickens and sheep, and to serve the monkeys to satisfaction.

The monkey left a doppelganger on the table, and flew out of the village, and came to the mountainside, and recited the proverbs, and saw a black man stumbling in the air, dressed in splendid clothes, wearing a hat crookedly, and carrying a huge Xuanhua axe in his hand. The mountain god was drunk and shouted, "Whoever is the same way, call me here." ”

The monkey showed his true body, shook the golden hoop stick in his hand, and shouted: "Bold hairy god, I don't kneel down when I see Monkey King." ”

The mountain god suddenly woke up with fright, the Xuanhua axe in his hand fell to the ground with a thud, and he didn't dare to hold his crooked hat, so he knelt down and said, "It turned out to be the great sage grandfather, please forgive your sins." ”

The monkey secretly said No wonder the old man burned incense to inform the mountain god Sanzang of the news that the master and apprentice were coming, and the mountain god did not move, it turned out that he was hiding somewhere and getting drunk, so he did not appear to be a saint.

The monkey said, "You hairy god, why are you pretending to be a ghost here? Tell me more quickly, or I'll beat you to powder." ”

The mountain god was so frightened that he was in a cold sweat, he knew that this monkey's hot temper was very good, and he had bad luck today, and he bumped into his hand, so he had to take this evil monkey first, and then take his time to clean him up.

The mountain god hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Grandpa the Great Sage, the little god is here for the mountain god, and he has always been conscientious in his work, and he never dared to pretend to be a god and make a ghost. ”

The monkey shouted: "Why did you and the old man of the land paint the portraits of my master and apprentice and distribute them to the villagers at the foot of the mountain, what is the reason and what are your intentions?" )
