Zhu Ganghye grinned and said:
"Yes, yes, Guanyin Bodhisattva named me Pig Wuneng. He said that he wanted to understand his own abilities. With greater ability comes greater responsibility. He asked me to work harder on the westward journey."
Tang Monk nodded slightly, stepped forward, touched Zhu Ganglie's head and said:
"Wuneng, you are very good, but I think you are greedy, tired and lustful. Let's do this. Buddhism has precepts. I will give you a Dharma name called Bajie. I hope you will abide by the precepts."
"Disciple thanks Master."
After Mo Ding received the ordination, Zhu Ganghe put on a double-breasted coat as a monk's robe. Just as Grand Duke Gao was looking at the door, Monk Tang greeted him with a smile:
"Old benefactor, my second disciple Wu Neng has converted. He immediately wrote a letter of divorce and the matter is over. However, I have to disturb your house tonight."
If Tang Monk didn't mention anything else, Grand Duke Gao would be asking for trouble. He bent down and entered the room and said:
"It's okay, it's okay. The guest rooms have been tidied up. Please go and have a rest..."
Zhu Ganghe was not as incompetent as in the TV series. He did not make any fuss and followed Tang Monk. The westbound team left early the next morning. Grandpa Gao gave him a hundred ingots of silver as a way to travel westward. Tang Sanzang was originally Will refuse, Xiao Jiang whispered in his ear for a while, and then Tang Sanzang put away his money and said his goodbyes to Gao Tai...
We walked again and again, continuing to travel westward. After a day of walking on a dry Gobi desert, Tang Sanzang was extremely thirsty. When he was looking for a source of water ahead, suddenly there was a rumbling roar of the river. Ao Lie, who was holding the horse, paused and looked ahead and said:
"Master, there is a big river ahead. We can take a rest now."
Ao Lie is a dragon, and he can tell the size of the water source just by looking at it. As the marshal of Tianpeng, Zhu Ganghui, who has stronger water quality than the dragon, also felt it. He stretched his trousers and picked up the burden and said:
"Senior Brother, the water in the river ahead doesn't seem to be very good. The smell is still familiar to me. Let's go over and have a look."
Tang Sanzang was very thirsty now. He took off his monk's hat and wiped his sweat and said:
"It doesn't matter what kind of water it is, just go there first. With the protector here, he will definitely find out if there is a problem."
Xiao Jiang, who was walking at the end, smiled dryly. If it was just that, then Tang Sanzang would be a fool, because he couldn't even tell who was more or less capable, otherwise why would he always be deceived by monsters along the way.
But in fact, Tang Sanzang was very smart. Imagine if he could become a eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty, would his IQ be poor? And he is very determined. Although he talks a lot along the way, it is just to relieve the pressure in his heart.
Ever since Xiao Jiang agreed to protect the Dharma, Tang Monk knew that Xiao Jiang was quite capable, especially when Guanyin repeatedly reminded him of Xiao Jiang's high level of cultivation. Naturally, he knew it, so he just tried his best to avoid big problems along the way. As long as Xiao Jiang reminded him He will never make his own decisions, which is completely different from Tang Seng who acts absurdly, blindly and muddleheadedly.
Knowing that if Xiao Jiang didn't warn him, there would be no big danger. Tang Seng was naturally not a coward at all, so he rode on his horse. Not long after, the group of people arrived at the edge of a large river with turbulent yellow water. Tang Seng frowned and stared at the turbid river water without saying anything. , Ao Lie pointed his finger at the muddy water, and saw that the muddy water continued to rotate and formed a water dragon flying close to him. He picked up the alms bowl, caught the water with the sediment removed, looked at it, smelled it and said:
"There's nothing wrong with this water. Master, drink it quickly."
Tang Monk took the alms bowl and took a sip. Zhu Ganghe had already run forward to investigate. Xiao Jiang walked to the river with a stick and suddenly opened his mouth and roared, which almost startled Tang Sanzang who was drinking water.
"Guardian Sun, what are you doing?"
Tang Monk asked and saw Xiao Jiang yelling at the river:
"The eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty from the east traveled west to obtain Buddhist scriptures. Don't let the monsters in the water move around, otherwise don't blame Lao Sun for destroying your nest with a stick."
When Tang Monk heard that it was Xiao Jiang who warned the monster in the river, he laughed and said:
"Guardian Sun, those monsters won't dare to mess around with you."
Xiao Jiang turned back and said with a smile:
"I know that I won't act recklessly, but I'm afraid that there will be some blind and ignorant people, or some scheming fools, so you have to be careful, Master Sanzang. Some monsters will inevitably ignore them if they are deceived by others. , I will pay it forward by your side, if something happens to me or I am led away, you will also be in danger."
Tang Monk was waiting for a reply when suddenly the muddy water in front of him rolled up and revealed a splash. On the splash stood a human-shaped object covered in algae. The object was heard shouting:
"Where is the Buddhist scripture seeker? I am Sha Wujing who is waiting here on the orders of Guanyin Bodhisattva."
Xiao Jiang bared his teeth and said happily:
"Master Tripitaka, the Bodhisattva is looking for a disciple for you again."
After speaking, Xiao Jiang stared at the group of figures and said:
"Guanyin asked you to wait. Then come here and throw away the messy things on your body first."
The figure shook for a while, and algae fell from his body. A green-faced, fanged monster with nine skulls hanging from its neck showed its true form and flew over. When it stopped by the river, it saluted Tang Monk and said:
"I was originally a general who rolled up the curtains in heaven. I accidentally broke a glass lamp and was punished and became a demon here. After hundreds of years of suffering, thousands of swords pierced my heart. After being instructed by the Bodhisattva, I am here to wait for the pilgrims to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
Although this monster is ugly, his tone is extremely honest. Tang Seng is not even afraid of Zhu Bajie, so naturally he will not be afraid of this monster. He nodded and said:
"Since it is the guidance of the Bodhisattva, I will accept you as my disciple. Do you have a Dharma name?"
Upon hearing this, the monster hurriedly knelt down and said:
"Bodhisattva named me Sha Wujing."
Tang Monk nodded and took out a razor and shaved off a bald spot on Sha Wujing's head. He touched the bald spot and said:
"Although you have a ferocious appearance and personality, you are in tune with Samana. You are a true monk. From now on, you will be called Monk Sha."
Xiao Jiang looked at Sha Wujing and said with a smile:
"Monk Sha doesn't sound good to you. A Taoist monk is a monk. It's better to call him Monk Sha."
Tang Monk nodded and said:
"Yes, what Protector Sun said is absolutely true. You can call him that. I'd better call him Wu Jing. Wu Jing, you have met the Protector, your senior brother Wu Ming and your second senior brother Wu Neng."
"Xiao Bai, Bajie, come here, you have a new junior brother."
Xiao Jiang roared at the top of his voice, and Ao Lie and Zhu Gangxuan came over quickly. Now that there is a new junior brother, this work must be arranged.
As the accompanying Great Protector, Xiao Jiang has a special status. Even if he sees Guanyin, he must avoid him. He has always refused to beg for alms and does not observe the precepts. As long as he is not killing animals randomly, there is nothing wrong with him. No one is qualified to do anything he wants. .
Before, Zhu Bajie took the responsibility of carrying the burden and Ao Lie led the horse. Now that there was an additional junior brother, the task of carrying the burden had to be changed. Zhu Bajie also led the horse, and Ao Lie was responsible for paving the way for alms.
When crossing the river, we didn’t wait for Mu Zha to come and deliver the gourd. Sha Monk’s nine skulls had the ability to remain unsinkable when exposed to water. In addition, the three major disciples all had the power to control water. It was easy to cross with Tang Monk and a horse on their backs. This Liusha River.
