Sanzang didn't care what the reaction of the golden head revealed the truth, he adjusted his body by himself, recited the mantra silently, and drove the clouds down, although the speed was still similar to climbing the clouds, but he was more skilled than Mali just now.

On this day, Sanzang and the monkey really worked hard to move forward, out of the mountains, just at dusk, saw a family at the foot of the mountain, a thatched hut, cooking smoke, there was a stream next to it, there was a big tree behind the house, the two of them went forward to stay.

The monkey stepped forward, banged the door loudly, and shouted, "Open the door and open the door, and a monk will come to spend the night." ”

Inside the door, there was the sound of pushing the door with a heavy object, and an old voice shouted: "Niu Er, this is no longer your home, you get out of me." ”

The monkey said angrily: "What Niu Er, I am a monk passing by, I am going to the west to learn scriptures, it is late, come to spend the night." ”

The voice trembled and said, "You, are you really not Niu Er's comrade?"

Master Sanzang stepped forward, folded his hands and said: "Old donor, you look at me from the crack in the door, we are really not Niu Er, nor are Niu Er's comrades, we are monks from the Tang Dynasty who went to the West to learn scriptures, please make it convenient for the old donor, we will leave as soon as dawn." ”

There was no sound in the door, and after a while, there were eyes looking out through the crack in the door, and sure enough, he saw a young tall monk with dignified facial features and a Buddha spirit.

Then, the sound of the top doorpost being moved, the door creaked open, and Sanzang and the walker saw three people: two old men and a young daughter-in-law. All three of them had weapons in their hands, the old man held a flat pole in his hand, the old woman had a rolling pin in his hand, and the young daughter-in-law had a wood knife with a missing edge in her hand.

When the husband saw Sanzang, he lost his flat shoulder, a smile appeared on his face, and he hurriedly went out and invited Sanzang into the house, but suddenly saw that behind Sanzang, there was a hairy face Xiao Lei Gong who was no more than four feet tall, with a sharp beak and monkey cheeks, and his eyes were fierce and vicious. The old man was so frightened that he almost fainted, calling ghosts, ghosts, ghosts, he wanted to escape, but he couldn't move at all, and his hands and feet were already sore.

Sanzang hugged the old man and comforted him with a smile: "Old donor, don't be afraid, he is not a ghost, he is my apprentice Sun Wukong." ”

The old woman and the young daughter-in-law behind the old man clenched the rolling pin and firewood knife in their hands, but their hands and feet trembled violently, and their teeth rattled uncontrollably.

The monkey said angrily: "Oh, old man, I'm not a demon or a monster, you are mortal, naturally you don't know my old grandson's name, to tell you the truth, I am the Monkey King." I also have acquaintances from your nearby villages. Even if it's you, I've seen it. ”

The old man was supported by Sanzang, and the Sanzang Buddha was full of spirit, giving the old man a very safe and credible natural kindness, he gradually became less afraid, and said at the moment: "You big teacher, where have you seen me?"

The monkey laughed: "Old man, when you were young, you were bare-fart-stock-egg, collecting firewood in front of me, and you also threw stones at my head, and a few little children, numb, poked me in the face with a long bamboo pole. ”

The old man opened his eyes and looked at the monkey and said, "Master, have I really seen you?"

The monkey bared his teeth and said angrily: "Old man, are you pretending not to know or have you really forgotten, when you were young, didn't you often go to the Two Realms Mountain with a big black man to hunt and chop wood?

The old man took a closer look and said suspiciously: "You, you, you are the divine monkey pressed in the stone box of the Two Realms Mountain?

The monkey said: "Old man, it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who saw that I was very capable, and came to me on purpose, and said a lot of good things to me, begging me to come out and protect the people who took the scriptures to go to the west to seek the true scriptures. ”

The old man's family of three breathed a sigh of relief, and the old woman and the young daughter-in-law both lost their 'weapons' and respectfully invited Sanzang and the monkey into the house. The old woman and daughter-in-law hurriedly went to wash the pot and cook food, while the old man accompanied the Sanzang monkey to talk.

The monkey was not alone, squatting on the chair and swaying, talking a lot, he said: "Old man, tell me Monkey King, how old are you this year?"

"Hui Dasheng, one hundred and thirty years old!"

"One hundred and thirty years old, counting it, is at most my great-grandchildren. ”

Master Sanzang shouted: "Wukong, don't be rude to the elderly. ”

The monkey forced his mouth and said: "Master, don't think I'm bullying the old man, I'm just pressing under the Five Elements Mountain, it's been five hundred years, and when I didn't learn the magic of Taoism, I was already more than three hundred years old, calculate carefully, my grandson is also a thousand years old, I said that this old man is my great-grandchild, or did I promote him." ”

The old man smiled: "That's that, the great sage is right, I heard my great-grandfather say, hundreds of years ago, the two realms of the mountains fell from the sky, there was a stone box under the mountain, and a monkey was pressed in the stone box, and the old people in my village passed this story by mouth, counting it, there are five hundred years." I remember when I was young, I threw you with a few small friends from afar, tied a long bamboo pole, and poked your face with a bamboo pole, the great sage was full of mud on his face at that time, and his head was full of grass, only those eyes were bright and shining, and we adults and children knew that you couldn't move, and you couldn't make magical powers, so we weren't afraid of you. ”

Sanzang, the old man, the monkey, all three of them laughed. Hearing the laughter, the old woman also came out to gossip, she had also seen the Great Sage when she was a child, and she had also picked wild flowers in front of the Great Sage, made a grimace at the Great Sage, and threw the Great Sage's head with dirt. Speaking of the past, everyone laughs.

Laughing, the meal is ready. After eating the fast, the old man boiled hot soup again and invited Sanzang and the monkey to take a bath. After taking a bath, Sanzang said: "Old donor, borrow your needle and thread." So the old man brought a needle and thread, Sanzang picked up the oil lamp, and under the lamp, he tore it with the monk's robe he brought, and sewed an extra set of underwear and short skirts for the monkey. The monkey had no heart or lungs, and took a rare hot bath and went to rest comfortably.

Sanzang sewed a set of underwear dresses for the monkey and was about to blow the lamp to rest. But I heard someone knocking on the door, got up to open the door, but the old man was standing at the door with a nervous face, holding an oil lamp in his hand and a bright kitchen knife in the other hand, and said in a low voice: "Master, quickly turn off the lights and go to sleep, no matter what sound you hear, don't come out, remember, otherwise you will have to worry about your life." ”
