In front is a mountain.

A mountain that is not very high, it is the end of autumn and the beginning of winter, the wild chrysanthemum falls and the remnants of the flowers, the new plum grows and the young stamen, the Tang monk and the apprentice and the four of them finally bypassed the eight hundred miles of the flame mountain, and went to the west, and on the second day of bypassing the flame mountain, they met the mountain in front of them.

This is actually a large mountain range, stretching for tens of thousands of miles, in the meantime, there is only a sheep intestine trail winding along the foot of the mountain, and there are also a few miscellaneous roads on the mountain that have been trampled out by wild beasts, but they are not old monks can climb up.

Therefore, only along this sheep intestine path, the four of them slowly moved forward, although the rain stopped, but after all, it had been raining for so many days, the road was muddy, rugged, and the Tang monk's mount was a dragon horse, and he could not take this seriously, if it was replaced by a mortal horse, he would have been tired to death.

The monkey walked in front of the horse as usual to open the way, and the old pig now changed his weapon, wrapped around his waist with a male and female whip, followed behind the horse's tail, flicking two empty hands, and the sand monk carried his luggage and walked behind him with a hum.

The old pig whose strength has increased greatly is now considered an enjoyable character, and that Tang Seng, since being troubled by monsters a few times, has obviously become a lot more low-key.

He also saw that his apprentices with vast magical powers all had their own thoughts and scheming, although they all kept their own scriptures, but none of them really regarded themselves as masters, and the goal of learning scriptures was the same, but the purpose was different.

Originally, he didn't care about these things, because at the beginning of the scriptures, he was full of faith, why?

Thinking about what happened at the beginning, it turns out that if you are not a fool, you can understand that there are six dings and six jiajia above, protected by gods and Buddhas, and there are four baby apprentices below, can something happen?

Before crossing the Flaming Mountain, the answer was a resounding yes, no.

But after passing the Flame Mountain, he couldn't be sure, it turned out that the gods and Buddhas of the heavens also had times when they lost, and the heavenly soldiers and generals also had times when they were subdued by monsters, and when the gods were killed!

In this case, his own safety is all tied to these four apprentices, even if he is stupid, this bend has to be turned around.

If you really provoke them, you can't guarantee that one day the wild monkey can really beat yourself to death with a stick, there is no place to say this, the individual's surname is small, his own great cause of learning from the scriptures has come to naught, and the sin will be big.

Whether it's a monkey or an old pig, or even a sand monk, yes, a sand monk, this is not easy to mess with, think about the time I first met him, this person hung around his neck but the skulls of his forerunners!

Therefore, his smiling face has become more, and he no longer yells at them like before, and he doesn't dare to talk about the tight spell anymore, so along the way, the master and apprentice get along well, and the three of them are quite satisfied with Tang Seng's acquaintance.

Facing the cool wind of late autumn, the monkey jumped all the way in front, raising his hand to build a pergola on his forehead from time to time, looking ahead.

It was said that it had slanted to the west, and half of the sky in the west was dyed red by the afterglow of the falling day.

Suddenly, the monkey that was walking in front stopped and let out a "huh" in his mouth.

"Wukong, is there something wrong ahead?!" Tang Seng saw that the monkey suddenly stopped, and his heart tightened for no reason, this scripture was tortured enough for him, especially the monkey in front, as long as he found that there was a problem, it would be fine.

The monkey did not answer him immediately, but took out the golden rod from his ear and carried it on his shoulder.

The old pig walking in the back also discovered the abnormality in front of him, and his body trembled involuntarily, and he pulled out a double whip, but how did that footstep start to retreat.

Tang Seng sat down on the dragon horse stopped, still how Tang Seng scolded and was willing to step forward, and finally Tang Seng slapped hard, the dragon horse neighed, the front legs were raised violently, and Tang Seng was lifted off the horse.

Mo Xuan, standing in front of this sheep intestine path, blocked the way of Tang Seng and his apprentices.

"It seems that something is wrong!" Mo Xuan looked at the monkey walking straight towards him with some surprise, in his mind, the monkey should be beating with a stick when he saw him, but now the monkey's attitude is strangely tight.

"What are you doing here?!" The monkey walked up to Mo Xuan, put the big stick on his shoulder, and looked unhappy, but he didn't have the slightest intention of doing it, although his tone was as unhappy as his face, but it was also full of affection.

Made?!

Mo Xuan's heart jumped, what are you doing? This monkey has taken drugs today? Why is this tone similar to when I scolded the little tigers in the house.

Although he was puzzled in his heart, he didn't show it on his face, thinking that he would get along with this monkey for at least a few years in the future, and it was not a matter to fight every day, although the attitude of this monkey was strange now, but it was not bad for himself, but it was not bad.

"I understand!" Mo Xuan said, with a serious and pious face, for this expression, he rehearsed in front of the mirror for a long time.

"Enlightenment...... "The monkey was stunned, what does it mean, what does it mean to be enlightened, what does it mean to be enlightened?

The monkey didn't understand, staring at a pair of golden eyes and looking at Mo Xuan suspiciously.

Mo Xuan smiled, like the smile of the Buddha's fingers twisting flowers.

"I am enlightened, I am enlightened, I want to take refuge in Buddhism and do something for the world to wash away the sins I committed before!" Mo Xuan said word by word, speaking clearly and expressing clearly.

The monkey obviously didn't react for a moment, blinking his eyes, "What, what are you going to do?!"

"I want to take refuge in Buddhism!" Mo Xuan said again, in an extremely serious tone, "Master Xuanzang has profound Buddhism and a benevolent heart, and over the years, he has met him several times, which can be regarded as fate, so I want to follow him to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, and make atonement for his crimes!"

Mo Xuan's voice was not loud, but several people on the road, including Tang Seng, could hear it clearly.

"Uh!" The monkey finally figured out what this Mo Xuan meant, rolled his eyes, didn't speak, just looked back at Tang Seng, wanted to see what he said, but just saw the old monk getting up from the ground, his face was embarrassed, and he didn't feel a little embarrassed in his heart, and pointed to the nose of the old pig standing behind Ryoma and scolded, "You naan rammer, the master fell to the ground, and I didn't see you to help him, what are you doing standing behind you, you can't do it when you are a prisoner!"

The old pig was used to being scolded by him, so he didn't care, he stepped forward with a snort, and helped the Tang monk up, and at the same time took his hand and led him to the front.

Poor Tang Seng, at this time, he finally saw Mo Xuan's appearance clearly, and his heart couldn't help but tremble, and he subconsciously wanted to withdraw the hand held by the old pig and hide behind Ryoma, but he didn't have the strength of the girls to compare to the old pig, and there was no room for retreat, and he was pulled by the old pig in front of Mo Xuan.

Seeing Mo Xuan's appearance clearly, Tang Seng's trembling was even heavier, the monster in front of him was something he knew, and he had seen it twice, and the two times he met was when he was unlucky, the first time he knocked the monkey unconscious, and also destroyed the entire Che Chi country, creating an incomparable killing, and the second time was even more excessive, teaming up with a group of demon kings, killing the Buddhist soldiers and generals who secretly protected him.

It can be said that this kind of behavior is the monster that he is most afraid of, but now, this monster suddenly said that he was enlightened and wanted to follow him to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures, which is too.

However, now that they have arrived, and they have made this request, no matter what the purpose, I think I can't refuse it.

Although I want to prevaricate with the reason that "Buddhism is vast, and I don't want to cross people who have no fate", I have already pointed it out in the previous words.

"I have met him several times, and it can be regarded as fate!" Although this reason for fate is not sufficient, but it also blocks the way to refuse on the grounds of no reason, is it possible that he still dares to tell him that he has no fate with him?

I don't have this heart or this guts, look at my two good apprentices, the monkey stood there indifferent, the old pig was even more excessive, and directly pulled himself over, explaining what, indicating that they don't want to take care of it, this mess has to be cleaned up by themselves, and I can't help but be annoyed, but there is nothing I can do.

immediately bowed to Mo Xuan, "Amitabha, good and good, the donor can distinguish right from wrong, it is really a blessing in the world to put down the butcher's knife, a blessing for Buddhism, but the poor monk has a shallow foundation and is not deep in cultivation, I am afraid it is difficult to take on this important task!"

"You monk, don't push!" Mo Xuan said, "The so-called Buddha is compassionate, purifying all sentient beings, and saying that all sentient beings are equal, although I am a demon clan, but I am dedicated to the Buddha, don't you even give me this opportunity?!"

"How dare you, it's just that the donor's mana is strong, and it's ......!"

"What about high mana, isn't that wild monkey's mana also strong mana?!" Mo Xuan pointed at the monkey and said unceremoniously, "You can rescue him from the Five Elements Mountain and accept him as an apprentice, but you don't want to accept me, you are too favoritism, right?!"

Mo Xuan's voice became higher and higher, and his tone became heavier and heavier, so frightened that Monk Tang retreated again and again, hating that the monkey and the old pig were standing aside and not moving, as for the sand monk, he looked like a coolie, pretending to carry the burden, and did not put it down, hanging his head to his chest, looking like he didn't see anything.

Tang Seng's sweat is vigorous.

After holding back for a long time, he held back a sentence, "When you enter my Buddhism, you have to shave!"

"I'll lead the practice!" Mo Xuan blocked him, "Old monk, just one sentence, you accept it or not, accept it, let's go forward, don't accept it!" Mo Xuan's pupils shrank sharply, and he didn't say anything more.

"Amitabha, good, good!" the old monk chanted the Buddha's name, "You must know that to enter my Buddha's door, you must follow the Buddha's forbidden, if you don't keep the precepts, how can you practice, although the donor's mana is strong, but the killing is deep, all kinds of causes before, bear all kinds of fruits today, if the donor is sincere into my Buddha's door, then you must keep the precepts!"

"Uh!" Mo Xuan was stunned, this old monk was quite tough, looking at his firm eyes, Mo Xuan's heart couldn't help but move slightly, religion is a thing, but the power is also quite strong, fanatical believers like Tang Seng are not able to succumb by force on matters of principle, so he said, "It's okay to keep the precepts, but my hair hasn't been shaved for hundreds of years, it's not that I don't want to shave, but it's really too hard to shave!"

Master!

This kid is considered an expert in snake fighting, and as soon as his tone is soft, the master will call him.

Pity this Tang Seng Although he is a Taoist monk, he can't think of meeting such a big demon with a very ruffian surname, and then, Mo Xuan added another sentence, "As long as the master accepts me as an apprentice, then I can ensure that the master will be calm on the road, even if there is a surprise, there will be no danger, how?!"

That's the most crucial sentence.

The old monk heard this, hesitated, and after a while, the old monk finally sang a Buddha horn again, "Amitabha, good and good, since the donor is sincere to the Buddha, the poor monk is inconvenient to stop, but the donor's situation is special, and the poor monk does not dare to accept the donor as a disciple, why not temporarily accept the donor as a registered disciple, all the way to the west, and wait until I reach the Lingshan, I am the Buddha, and then formally accept the donor as a disciple!"

"Then thank you Master!" Mo Xuan bowed deeply.

"There is one more person who has come to grab merit!" The old pig stood aside, muttering loudly, although the words were soft, but except for Tang Seng, all the people present heard it clearly.

Mo Xuan sneered indifferently, raised his head and glanced deeply at the old pig.

The old pig only felt a chill on his body, and when he raised his eyes, he met Mo Xuan's gaze, and his heart couldn't help but feel cold, and he almost slapped his mouth with regret, what is wrong with him, what kind of mouth are you stunned, don't you see that the monkey doesn't speak on the side? Mo Xuan, the big demon, is not something he can afford to provoke.

Mo Xuan just looked at the old pig, but he didn't have a seizure, he stood up straight, and very enthusiastically helped Monk Tang onto the dragon horse, and then took the dragon horse's reins and walked forward.

The other three apprentices of the monk glanced at each other a few times, but did not speak, and silently followed behind Ryoma.

All the way to the west, the end of the sky has completely fallen, leaving only a faint afterglow.

"I have to stay in the mountains again today!" faintly came the low grumbling voice of the old pig.

Nothing was said all night.

.................................................................. The weather is falling and the weather is rising. The rainbow is hidden, and the pond is gradually becoming icy. The cliff hangs on the rope vine and the flowers are defeated, and the pine and bamboo are colder and greener.

After receiving Mo Xuan, the group of four people became a group of five, and after staying in the mountains for the night, they continued to travel westward, and at noon on the second day, they walked out of the mountain range along the sheep intestine path, and in the distance, a city appeared in front of them.

"Sai Sai Guo!"

Mo Xuan said secretly in his heart.

At this time, the monkey had already begun to discuss with the Tang monk whether the city in front of him was the place of the emperor of a country.

Tang monk rode a horse, the four of them went forward, they arrived at the city gate in a moment, dismounted and crossed the bridge, entered the door to watch, only to see six streets and three markets, goods and wealth, and saw the clothes and luxury. When he was walking, he suddenly saw more than a dozen monks, one by one wearing shackles and locks, begging along the door, and the blue wisps were really unbearable.

Monk Tang was full of feelings and sighed: "The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it." So he asked the monkey to find out what was going on.

When he came back from inquiring, he learned that three years ago, the treasure in the Jinguang Temple was stolen, and the king blamed the monks and captured them together, so there was such a tragic image, and the old monk was sad to hear it, and moved the idea of sweeping the tower.

The monkey saw that the old monk was about to go up with a broom, so he said: "The tower is polluted by blood and rain, and the situation has been dull for a long time, I am afraid of evil things, a quiet night and cold, and there is no partner, I am afraid that there will be a bad pool, how about the old grandson and you?"

How could Tang Seng refuse, and said happily: "Very good! Very good!"

Mo Xuan smiled, "In this case, I will also go up, this black light is blinding, I just hold the lamp for you!"

The monkey didn't speak, but Tang Seng had to nod.

In this way, the two of them swept the tower and one person held the lamp, and swept all the way to the tenth floor, the monk was really tired, so he asked the monkey to help him sweep the last three floors, Mo Xuan knew that there were two unlucky people on it, thought about it, and followed.

The monkey swept to the eleventh layer, far away from the Tang monk, looked at Mo Xuan beside him, stopped the broom in his hand, and said, "What are you doing with you, are you afraid that I will be lazy and slippery?"

Mo Xuan smiled, "Where, everyone is a member of the Buddhist Sect, I just don't want you to kill!"

"Killing?!" the monkey's eyes flashed, "You are kind, how many people have you killed in that Chechi country, but now you are pretending to be merciful, even if you want the merits of the road to heaven, at the end of the road, take it, but you don't need to be so hypocritical!"

"That's not it!" Mo Xuan said with a smile, "I didn't enter the Buddha Gate before, but I also did this killing thing, and now that I have entered the Buddha Gate, the rules and precepts of the Buddha Gate naturally have to be obeyed, besides, when the car was in the country, it was you and I who fought each other before the killing was made, why should I bear it alone? Everyone is now the same brother and sister, how about treating each other!"

"Senior brother!" the monkey heard this word, but his face softened, "That's right, speaking of which, we are also senior brothers, and the ancestor wants to see you!"

"Uh!" Mo Xuan was stunned for a moment, and looked at the monkey in some astonishment, "Ancestor?!"

The monkey nodded, "Yes, Patriarch, I met Patriarch in Heavenly Court a few days ago, and his old man said, you can be regarded as my junior brother, let you have time to go to the three-star insight to meet his old man, it seems that there is something to find you!"

Mo Xuan let out an "oh" and nodded, but a wry smile appeared in his heart.

Indeed, if you count it, you can really be regarded as a junior disciple of the monkey, no wonder his attitude was so strange when he saw him yesterday.

It's just that this three-star cave is better not to go casually, after all, he is a stealer, and he is also holding back the heavenly opportunity, although this Su Bodhi Patriarch is a good temper, but he even secretly plays, I'm afraid my heart is not very comfortable, right?

Thinking of this, the smile on Mo Xuan's face became more and more bitter, "After learning the scriptures, I will definitely go to visit the ancestor and apologize to his old man!" Mo Xuan said.

The corners of the monkey's mouth moved, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't help it, didn't say anything anymore, and swept the floor intently, and suddenly, he looked up again and said, "Those two monsters on the thirteenth floor, what are you going to do?"

Mo Xuan smiled, "Don't they all say that my Buddha is compassionate? It's just two little demons, they can't make any waves, just drive them away!"

"What about those aggrieved monks in Jinguang Temple, don't you care?"

"Pifu is not guilty, he is guilty, it's just an ordinary mortal country, there is a Buddha treasure, just keep it, but it is still so ostentatious to put it on the top of the tower, this is not what is it to die!" Mo Xuan said coldly, and made up his mind in his heart, although he didn't know what this Buddha treasure was, but listening to what those monks said, it seemed to be a thing with sufficient vitality, put it on the top of the tower and shrouded in auspicious clouds, the mist rose, the glow of the sun at night, and the color gas during the day, isn't this the phenomenon of emitting aura? What is lacking in the space of his magic circle is such a thing, it is better to take it and put it in the magic circle, slowly moisturize it, and then think about it, the princess of all saints also stole the nine-leaf lingzhi grass, which sounds like a spiritual thing, so it is better to take it together.

Thinking about this, Mo Xuan laughed instead, "However, in any case, those monks are also part of my Buddhism, and we can't ignore them, otherwise, let's take them back to the king to testify, and let him release the monks, I think, it's not difficult, right?!"

"Of course it's not difficult!" the monkey nodded, "Shall I take it or will you take it?!"

Mo Xuan looked at the monkey holding the broom in his hand, he was really helpless, and said with a wry smile, "Forget it, I'll go!"

As he spoke, he flashed to the thirteenth floor, and directly took the two unlucky little demons of Ba Bo Er Ben and Ben Bo Erba, but he scolded in his heart that the nine-headed insect and the Ten Thousand Saints old dragon did not have a charter to do things, and if you stole something, you will steal it, and you will be a thief with a weak heart, and you will send someone to explore the wind and do nothing, if it is not so, you will not find this Bibo Tan if you want to come to this master and apprentice.

Stupid is not scary, stupid is not scary, these stupid and stupid but self-proclaimed uneducated monsters who are afraid of it!

Not being educated is the most terrible!!

Isn't it time to find a way to popularize education in the demon clan?

Two ridiculous thoughts flashed through Mo Xuan's mind and laughed at them.

The two little demons were panicked at this time, eating meat and drinking wine, and suddenly they felt a tightness at the back of their necks, and their bodies were lifted up.

"You two idiots, come with me!" he said, and carried the two little demons downstairs.

Just as he met the Tang monk, the old pig and a few little monks walking down with lamps, they threw the two little demons on the ground and asked them to explain the reason why the nine-headed insect stole the treasure.

The Tang monk and a few little monks were overjoyed when they heard this, and the old pig raised his double whip to beat, but was kicked back by Mo Xuan.

"Amitabha, God has the virtue of a good life, you are also a person who has entered the Buddha's door, since you have entered the Buddha's door, how can you open the killing precept in vain!" After kicking the eight precepts back, Mo Xuan said with a stern official face, and then turned his head to Tang Seng and asked, "Master, what did you say!"

"Amitabha, good, good!" the old monk nodded yes, "What Mo Xuan said is reasonable, reasonable, after entering the Buddha's gate, you must not open the precept of killing in vain, all living beings are equal, whether it is a human or a demon, the eight precepts, you understand!"

The old pig got up from the ground with a chirp, glanced at the old monk in annoyance, and was about to stare at Mo Xuan but was glared back by Mo Xuan, and at the same time, a thin voice suddenly came from his ears, "Marshal Tianpeng, I warn you, if you see a monster again in the future, you will be killed, I will steam you and feed the pig!"

The old pig snorted violently, his body shrank back again and again, and he didn't dare to say anything in his mouth, making a Tang monk and the little monk who came up with them a little inexplicable, I don't know what kind of nerves he was making.

"Master, if you don't kill them, there is another advantage, that is, you can go to the emperor to speak tomorrow, and you can do gouge your eyes to find thieves and chase treasures!"

Tang Seng nodded yes.

Nothing was said all night.

On the second day, the Tang monk took the monkey and Mo Xuan to the outside of the court gate and asked to see the emperor.

As said in the original book, after seeing the emperor, the old pig and the sand monk brought the two little demons to explain the reason, and the king was overjoyed, so he held a feast, and after three rounds of wine, and after five flavors of food, he talked about the matter of grabbing treasures.

Although Tang Seng didn't drink much, he looked quite excited, so he picked it up and said: "My apprentices are quite powerful, if you want to subdue demons, it is most suitable for them to go!" As he spoke, he turned his gaze to Mo Xuan and the monkey, "Teach the great apprentice Sun Wukong to go, he has great magical powers, and he is the best at subduing demons!"

The old pig over there listened, and was about to speak, but he felt a cold on his back, only to see Mo Xuan staring at him coldly, and hurriedly stopped.

"Master, I'll go with Senior Brother too, so I can take care of you, and let the old pig and the sand monk protect you here, how about it!"

Tang Seng said yes again and again.

The two of them asked the king to carry the two unfortunate little demons to one another, and one of them carried the other, and a gust of wind rolled up and went to the southeast.

(To be continued)
