Jiedi led the order to rush to, the eight King Kong escorted Tang Seng, flying in the clouds and mist, in the middle of the line, Jiedi rushed to the secret Bodhisattva Dharma, King Kong put down the four people, Tang Seng down-to-earth, looked around, I don't know where, Sha Seng heard the sound of flowing water, and identified it as the Tongtian River. Bajie said, "Now that the master has escaped from the mortal womb, we will take him over."
Wukong knew what was going on, and said with a smile, "I can't drive it", the master and apprentice spoke, walked forward, and when they reached the riverbank, the old turtle came up and wanted to send them across the river, and the four of them immediately got on the back of the turtle and went straight to the east bank, looking at the night, it was not far from the east bank, the old turtle suddenly asked, "Back then, I asked the master to ask the Buddha, when can I get out of my shell and become an adult, I don't know if I ask?"
Tang Seng went to the west to learn the scriptures, but forgot about it, speechless, and would not lie, had to be silent, the old turtle was angry, a head into the water, the four of them even fell into the water with the scriptures, fortunately Tang Seng has been reborn, became the Tao, did not sink to the bottom, was carried ashore by Wukong.

After a while, the sun rose, and the four of them moved the scriptures to the high cliff, opened the bags to dry the scriptures, and took off their clothes to dry, and several fishermen recognized them and invited them to Chenjiazhuang and their party, eat something, and wash their clothes.
Tang Seng politely declined, the fisherman reported to Chen Cheng, Chen Cheng brought someone to kneel to pick up, Tang Seng saw Chen Cheng a warm feeling, not good to shirk again, let clean up the scriptures, but the "Buddha Sutra" was stuck with a few volumes of stones, a few pages at the end of the volume were glued down, so far the "Buddha Sutra" is not complete, there is still handwriting on the stone, it is called the scripture stone.
The four of them packed up and went to Chenjiazhuang together, thousands of men, women and children on the village came to greet them, Chen Qing prepared an incense case in front of the door, invited drum music, greeted the holy monk, the whole family came to thank him, and served tea and fasted, Tang Seng has been reborn, naturally he can't eat the food in the world.
The next day, the Tang monk and apprentice felt the fragrant wind gusting and floating in the air, but it was the King Kong who came back again, and in less than a day, he gradually approached Chang'an.
