Chapter 60: Tang Seng's Interests
Tang Seng was only annoyed for a while, and then he said the words to drive away Sun Wukong, no, he regretted it just after speaking.
Tang Seng also has self-knowledge, with his mortal body, if he wants to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to reach the West Tianling Mountain, this is impossible, once he loses the helper of Sun Wukong, I am afraid that this scripture will not need to be taken.
In fact, Sun Wukong also regretted it a little, after all, Tang Seng did rescue him from the Five Elements Mountain, and with Sun Wukong's heart, he was still very grateful to Tang Seng in his heart.
And the road of learning from the scriptures is indeed a golden road where you can get the golden body and the right fruit, if you really lose this way, it is inevitable that it is a pity.
Both of them were angry, but they didn't want to say it too much, so they were quiet for a while.
Xiao Yi saw some of the inner thoughts of the two, so he opened his mouth and said, "Elder, Brother Monkey, you can become a master and apprentice, this is because you have a master-apprentice relationship, or a beautiful fate of common enlightenment, you should cherish it, how can you give up so easily?"
Seeing that neither of them objected, Xiao Yi came up with a plan and said, "Elder Tang, Brother Monkey said that you are a pustule, then you can prove it to Brother Monkey and tell him with facts that you are not a pustule." ”
Learning from the scriptures in Tang Sanzang's heart is the most important thing, so he said loosely: "Prove, how can the poor monk prove?"
Xiao Yi saw that Tang Seng was relieved, so he put his mind at ease, and said to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, you will do this test of the elders, how about it? If the elders pass, Brother Monkey will wholeheartedly protect the elders to the west, okay?"
Sun Wukong shook his head and said, "How can you let your apprentice test your master? If this spreads, others won't say that Lao Sun and I deceived the master and destroyed the ancestor? When the time comes, where will Lao Sun's old face go? The test will still be done by you, Brother Xiao!"
Xiao Yi thought about it for a while, and finally smiled slightly, and said, "Elder, Brother Monkey! There is a Quantong Festival among mortals called the New Year, why don't we use this 'year' to test the elders, how about it?"
"New Year?" The elder and Sun Wukong were stunned at the same time.
"The poor monk is just a mortal, in this deep mountain and old forest, there is no red paper, and there are no firecrackers, how can the poor monk hide from the murderous 'year'?" Tang Seng listened to Xiao Yi's test method and couldn't help but be anxious.
Sun Wukong also spoke: "Brother Xiao, 'Nian' is the most ferocious beast under the innate soul, my master is just a mortal, how can he pass the 'Nian' level?"
Xiao Yi smiled at the opposition of the two.
Because it is related to his own life and death, Tang Seng, who has always been afraid of death, couldn't help but be anxious like an ant in a pot, turning around.
It's still Sun Wukong who is smart, thought about it quietly, and soon understood.
I wanted to tell Tang Seng, but when I saw Tang Seng's anxious appearance, I couldn't help but say angrily: "Master, the 'year' will not come out in another six days, you have time to prepare, what are you anxious about?"
Tang Seng listened to Sun Wukong's words, and then he came to his senses, in these six days, as long as he can find red paper or firecrackers, he can scare away the Nian Beast.
Xiao Yi persuaded Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, the Nian Beast is just an acquired beast to you, and it is not worth mentioning. However, the elder was just a mortal, and it was reasonable to be anxious in the face of the fierce beast whether he was alive or dead. ”
"Good. As long as you can avoid the New Year Beast, Lao Sun will wholeheartedly protect you from going to the West to learn scriptures in the future, and never mention half a word again. Sun Wukong finally nodded.
Xiao Yi smiled and beckoned the silver fire wolf, and said in the clouds: "Brother Monkey, I'll look around to see if there is any trace of the Nian Beast." ”
Xiao Yi rode the silver fire wolf and searched carefully in the air.
Xiao Yi is not worried that Tang Seng will not be able to survive the New Year, because in six days, Tang Seng and Sun Wukong will always encounter a bamboo forest, right? With a bamboo forest, you can use firecrackers to scare away the New Year Beast.
Even if Tang Seng was unlucky enough to not encounter the bamboo forest for six days, but after the gods and Buddhas knew about it, even if there were no firecrackers, I am afraid that someone would help Tang Seng get firecrackers and red paper.
What's more, the horse that Tang Seng is riding is a white dragon horse, and the dragon energy emitted by the white dragon horse is enough to scare away the 'year' of the acquired realm.
The beast is shaped like a lion and has a single horn, the beast is born with a ferocious surname, and eats birds and animals, scaly insects, and eats three hundred and sixty-five kinds of animals a day, from kowtow insects to large living people, and the day of cannibalism is exactly the three hundred and sixty-fifth days.
Xiao Yi rode the silver fire wolf to search around, and after four days, he finally found a year beast, Xiao Yi, who was already an earth immortal, and catching a year beast was just a matter of raising his hand.
When Xiao Yi brought the Nian Beast back to the Eagle Sorrow Stream, he searched all the way and found a temple next to the mountain road in Luojia Mountain.
"Lishe Ancestral Hall? Isn't this the errand of Guanyin who received Guanyin from the land of the mountain god of Luojia Mountain, and when he sent the saddle and the horsewhip to Tang Seng? Why are they still here? Could it be that Tang Seng and Brother Monkey are still inside?" Xiao Yi thought.
Xiao Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door of the temple, and the door was opened by an old man with a blue face and a swollen nose.
When I entered the temple, I saw that Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were inside.
When Sun Wukong saw Xiao Yi coming back, he knew that Xiao Yi had caught the Nian Beast, so he couldn't help scratching the back of his head and said, "Well, Brother Xiao, let the Nian Beast go!"
After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he pointed to a pile of firecrackers in the courtyard.
After Xiao Yi saw the pile of firecrackers, he couldn't help but be stunned: "Uh! This mountain god has also helped too much, right?"
The courtyard is full of a bunch of hill-like firecrackers, which can allow Tang Seng to burn firecrackers until dawn alone, and still need to be afraid of the New Year's beast?
When Xiao Yi looked at the old man again, he finally understood why the old man's face was blue and his nose was swollen, and it was ten percent because Sun Wukong beat the old man who had become a god of Luojia Mountain in anger.
Faced with this situation, Xiao Yi could only sigh: "Tang Seng, the background of the reincarnation of the golden cicada, is indeed hard enough!"
Although Tang Seng has no strength at all, what he represents behind him is the entire Buddhism, and the mountain god of Luojia Mountain would rather suffer a violent beating from Sun Dasheng in order to help Tang Seng, a representative of Buddhism.
However, fortunately, Sun Wukong also wanted to reconcile with Tang Seng in his heart, and then prove the Buddha fruit together, so he just beat up the god of Luojia Mountain, and temporarily lived in this temple to wait for Xiao Yi.
Xiao Yi asked the silver fire wolf to return to Xiaoyao Villa first, and Xiao Yi drove the red cloud, turned into a rainbow and went east, and went straight to Chang'an City.
When Xiao Yi came to Chang'an City, it was already dark, and today was Chinese New Year's Eve, so the streets of the entire Chang'an City were hung with red lanterns, the sound of firecrackers was non-stop, and the people on the streets were endless.
Although the Nian beast ran into the deep mountains and old forests and did not dare to come out to eat people again, people did not dare to forget the tradition easily, and still insisted on sticking red paper and setting off firecrackers every year.
However, Chinese New Year's Eve has become a joy at this time.
Acrobatics, shopping in the flower street, guessing lantern riddles, stepping on the New Year, and finally the most solemn bell ringing and blessing.
Xiao Yi looked down in the air, and the lively scene below was unobstructed, and said in his heart: "I also came to the ancient Chinese New Year's Eve. ”
ps: Because I'm going to my grandmother's house today, I updated it in advance.
In addition, there will be a change in the evening, but it will be a little later.
