"Since they are worried about us, how can you kick their butts?"
"Master...Master——, this kick from my old grandson made him unable to recognize people." The Great Sage stretched out his hand to support the master, and stroked the master's back up and down with his other hand, as if to give him some relief, "Master , you know my old grandson well, this kick can show the results of the disciple's daily practice...can it be regarded as a light weight?"
When the Great Sage killed the robber that day, he also gave it a gentle blow, but the robber was beaten to the head and bleeding and died on the spot. The boy was kicked by the Great Sage, but he only staggered forward. Speeding up a bit...it shows that the great sage was never lazy in his daily practice.
Seeing Wukong showing off, Fahai smiled helplessly and said, "You hozen always cause trouble. If you cause trouble for no reason again, I will punish you by copying scriptures."
The great sage shuddered and did not argue with the master. He fell a little behind and led the horse.
"I haven't asked the donor yet, what kind of territory is this place? Which country is it in?" Fahai stepped forward and joined the boy, and started to ask some questions about the local customs.
The boy quickly responded: "This is the borderland of Uzang. It is called Gaolaozhuang. Most of the people in this village have the surname Gao, so it is called Gaolaozhuang... Oh, the villain is called Gaocai. Not yet Can I ask the holy monk for his Dharma name?"
"You said that the goblin wants to take possession of your young lady. Can you tell me the inside story to this poor monk?"
"I don't dare to deceive the holy monk." Gao Cai naturally answered all questions: "My Grand Duke Gao has an older daughter, who is only twenty years old. He has never been married to anyone, but he never thought that he was usurped by a goblin three years ago. , this account...is a full three years."
"Oh?" Fahai stopped and asked curiously: "Three years? In these three years, you just occupied your young lady? What other evil things have you done?"
Gao Cai was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully for a long time, and said: "If there are other evil things... except that he is ugly and often scares the little babies on the farm to tears, I can't think of anything at the moment."
Wukong said from behind: "It's enough to just take one of his daughters by force."
Fahai asked again: "How many mages have you invited to subjugate demons in the past three years?"
"Not many. In fact, it's only in the past six months that I started asking people to subjugate demons." Gao Cai answered honestly: "The villain has never stopped these days. He has invited three or four people, and all of them have been invited." No one is a good monk or a useless Taoist priest, and none of them can subjugate that monster. Just now, the grandpa scolded me, saying that I didn’t know how to do things, and offered me five coins in exchange for teaching me how to hire a good magician. Surrender him...No, not long after leaving Zhuangzi, I met the holy monk."
"It's strange. This goblin has occupied your young lady for three years. Why did you hire someone to slay the demon now?" Naturally, it was the Great Sage who asked, and Fahai didn't stop him because he also wanted to know the reason.
Gao Cai was about to speak, but suddenly his face showed a difficult expression, as if he found it difficult to speak. However, he heard that the demon monkey was asking the question. He was afraid of losing his life if he didn't answer, so he quickly said: "You two don't know something. This demon monkey is... At first, he was actually my great-grandfather’s son-in-law..."
"Ouch!" The great sage screamed strangely and said in surprise: "Your grandpa is also a person, and he dares to recruit a goblin as his son-in-law!"
But Fa Hai heard the difference and asked: "Since he is your son-in-law, how can you say that he has taken your young lady? Isn't this a contradiction?"
"I didn't know he was a goblin at first, but he drank too much on the day of the official wedding, and his true colors showed... It turned out to be a big black man with a pig's head with a long nose and big ears... He brought the whole family and the whole family to the village. The villagers are all so scared." Gao Cai saw that the holy monk was silent and the monkey demon looked wrong, so he said anxiously: "My grandfather also had a discussion with him at that time, and wanted to withdraw from this family relationship, but he said it in private 'It is not a long-term solution for my daughter to attract a goblin: firstly, it will ruin the family tradition, and secondly, there will be no in-laws to interact with'... Then the goblin was offended and locked my young lady in the backyard. In the past six months, she has not been seen again. Let him be released to be reunited with his family. That’s why the Grand Duke used the money to let the villain find a mage to catch the monster.”
"Master." After hearing this, the Great Sage grabbed the master and said in a slightly unkind tone: "Master, this monster... we don't want to catch it."
When Gao Cai heard this, he didn't know whether to be happy or sad for a moment.
"You have always been itchy when you see monsters. Why don't you catch them now?" Fa Hai was a little curious: "Do you know where this monster is? Do you think you are no match for him?"
After listening to the holy monk's words, Gao Cai also leaned over, wanting to hear what the monster monkey had to say.
"Ke~ke~!" Wukong bared his teeth at the Gao Cai first, and then explained to his master: "Master, I'm afraid the Gao family is in trouble... I didn't know she was a goblin before, so I recruited her. He was supposed to be the son-in-law who came to the house, and now he showed his true colors, but he wants to regret the marriage? This old man is so unreasonable... He is despising his son-in-law for being an ugly goblin. If the goblin looks like Master, I don't believe it. That old lady is willing to regret the marriage."
Gao Cai nodded repeatedly on the side, feeling that the great sage's words spoke to his heart, and it could be said that the heroes had the same views.
Now he no longer regards the Great Sage as a monster.
"Ah - Master..." The great sage suddenly turned his eyes as he spoke. He thought of some harmful move and overturned his previous words, "Master, in fact, it is not impossible for us to surrender the demon. By the way, Let’s see what color Miss Gao is. If she is really as beautiful as a fairy... Master, why don’t you find a son-in-law here? I, Sun, will go to the West for Master and find the Tathagata to get the true scripture.” The Great Sage is indeed still the same. That great sage, without paying attention, let his faults slip out.
"You monkey, you are talking nonsense again. After a while, you stopped and copied the scriptures ten times." The great sage asked for trouble, but he honestly accepted the punishment... just as he was about to leave. , but heard the master say again: "Wukong, do you know that falling in love between a human and a monster is a grave sin against heaven?"
It's just that when Fahai said this, his expression and tone were a little melancholy, maybe he was thinking of the two snake monsters at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain and by the West Lake...
The Great Sage was stunned for a moment, and then he realized that there seemed to be such a thing... He had also been an official in the sky, and he had briefly read the Articles of Heaven, but he didn't take it to heart at all... .If he is willing to be bound by heaven's rules, will he still cause trouble in heaven?
But the master is a human being, and Miss Gao is also a human being. What kind of laws are violated?
Oh, I actually forgot that my master is a monk, and even monks cannot get married. This is a violation of Buddhist precepts.
Only after we have been together for a long time did I realize that lay masters have very flexible bottom lines for Buddhist rules and precepts.
It was obvious that he had violated the precepts, but there was still a way to explain it.
When the great sage wanted to imitate him, he was punished... and said that he did not practice enough. If he imitated him like this, it would be like entering the devil's path, which would be harmful and useless.
I just don’t know if Master has any good advice on the relationship between men and women.
When Gao Cai heard the two people's words, he thought: How can this matter be reported to heaven? Tomorrow, let me go to the Jade Emperor Temple and the various temples of the Immortal Lord to burn incense. When the heavenly soldiers descend, are you worried that the demon will not be killed? !
Thinking of this, he was about to say thank you to Fa Hai...
But then I heard the demon monkey say: "Master, if I remember correctly...this crime will involve implicating others. I'm afraid that Gao Taigong and his family will all be implicated and imprisoned...Oh, you can't run away either." .”
The great sage pointed at the talented person.
"Snapped!"
Gao Cai immediately knelt on the ground and immediately gave up the idea of reporting the matter to heaven. He knelt down with a bang and said: "Please, the holy monk, save me, my old man!"
"Go back to Zhuangzi and meet the old lady first." Fa Hai lifted Gao Cai up and felt strange in his heart. This goblin is really interesting... Ordinary goblins would just kidnap a woman they like when they see one. The goblin actually only wanted to be a door-to-door son-in-law...
The Grand Duke Gao's family has invited mages to subjugate demons again and again, but he has not been seen killing people in anger. Could it be that he is really a man in love?
If you don't really love each other, you have other motives.
Fahai decided to meet him first, judge his good and evil deeds first, and then explain the method of salvation.
This is the first time Fahai has heard of such an interesting monster.
...
Grandpa Gao was anxious at home. If things continued like this, their family would become the laughing stock of the village.
Recruiting a goblin as a son-in-law, no one would believe it... But the pig just pretended to be a goblin and attracted attention, for fear that others would not know that he was a goblin... He obviously knew how to change. Technique, just put away the ugly appearance and recognize it by pinching your nose.
Although I usually eat more, I can still work, right?
Unexpectedly, he just mentioned the matter of his appearance a little, which made him furious. He refused to change his appearance no matter what... He insisted on being a son-in-law with a pig's head.
Isn't this a sin?
He is just an ordinary old lady in the mortal world, how can he withstand such an impact?
The monster has already announced that he will definitely spend the night with his daughter in the bridal chamber, recognizing him as the old man.
"Grandpa, Grandpa!"
At this moment, Gao Cai hurried in.
Gao Taigong held him down and said angrily: "You are such a genius, why didn't you go find someone and why did you come back?"
"Grandpa, calm down, calm down -" Gao Cai comforted and explained: "I have invited the magician who subdued the demons back, and we are still two masters and apprentices."
"You just invited me here right after you left?"
Seeing that the old lady was suspicious, Gao Cai quickly said: "Yes, I bumped into him not long after we left Zhuangzi. The villain asked about his origins and said that he was a holy monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha. His name was Tripitaka. He was a The great mage who subjugates demons, the villain tells them the difficult things in the village, and they come to subjugate the demons..."
Gao Cai did not dare to mention the previous remarks of these two people, for fear that the grandpa would be angry and upset, so he only chose to say what he said smoothly.
The old man nodded and said: "Since he is a monk from afar, I am afraid he really has some tricks. Where is he now?"
"You're still asking where he is?" Madam pushed him and said urgently: "Since he is outside the village, why don't you go and greet him quickly?"
"That's right, that's right." Gao Taigong quickly followed Gao Cai out to greet him.
"Elder!" He was far away, but as soon as he saw a figure, Taigong Gao shouted loudly. When he came up to him, Taigong quickly bowed: "Mr. Gao, I'm here to bow to you."
When Fahai saw him, he returned the salute and clasped his hands together, "The poor monk returned the salute."
Gao Taigong looked around and thought to himself: Didn't we invite two magicians? Why is there only one?
"Old Man Goriot!"
When I was wondering, I heard a high-pitched voice coming from the roof. When I quickly looked up, I saw a walker with a rough face and a loud mouth squatting on the eaves, pointing at himself with a pair of hairy hands, The tone was quite dissatisfied: "Why don't you bow to me?"
"oops!"
Gao Taigong screamed strangely, but while hiding behind Gao Cai, he said: "You are such a talented assassin. You still have an ugly son-in-law at home that you can't get rid of. Why did you lead this thunderous man to harm me?"
"Old Man Gao, it turns out that you always judge people by their appearance." The Great Sage fell lightly from the roof and jumped in front of Taigong Gao: "I am not Thunder God, I am Monkey King, the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. Do you know sharp?"
Gao Taigong only thought that Monk Mao was talking nonsense. He had never heard of Monkey King, the Monkey King... He didn't want to find anyone famous to pretend to be a god.
However, although this monkey's appearance was not as good as that of his unlucky son-in-law, he was not a kind person either. Grand Duke Gao was almost frightened to death on the spot.
Encountering two goblins one after another, who can withstand this?
Thanks to Gao Cai's secret support, he didn't fall to the ground, but it took a long time for him to feel relieved.
"Almsgiver." Fahai took a step forward and said in a serious tone: "The poor monk Guan Taigong is quite old, why is he still so careless? Although my apprentice looks a little weird, he is not ugly, not to mention that he is all about slaying demons. The ability of the devil... This time I can capture goblins and ghosts for your family, capture your goblin son-in-law, and return your daughter... If you use words to curse him because of his appearance, be careful when he comes out If you don’t work hard, you’ll get evil spirits.”
Fahai has always been a protective person. How can he tolerate being ridiculed by his own monkey?
Fahai couldn't beat a mortal, even an old man, so he had to teach him a few words.
Hearing this, the Grand Duke quickly said yes, and bowed to the Great Sage Bian'er, saying: "I am in trouble, little elder. Please forgive me, little elder."
"Hmph." The great sage waved his hand and held his mouth: "My old grandson has lived for more than a thousand years, and an elder is an elder. Why do you use a small word?"
"Wukong, if you have to spare me, please spare me. Go tie the horse first."
After the Master's instruction, the Great Sage went to lead the horse, but he was thinking: Master, I have never seen you go around others, and more than ten monsters in the Batu Cave watched them kill each other...that Zhuang Tutuo, You can force him to crash to death right in front of your eyes...
Oh, you said they are not humans, but monsters, so there is no need to spare them——
That's okay.
On the way, Xiao Bailong said: "Elder brother, I smell the smell of a pig demon."
"Pig demon?" The senior brother secretly remembered it in his heart, and said to Xiao Bailong: "Tonight, Master and I are about to subdue this demon. You can just cultivate on your own."
Xiao Bailong bit his senior brother's robe, and when he stopped and turned around, he let go and said, "I also want to go out and try my best."
The last time Senior Brother and Master were at Batu Caves to slay demons and demons, they had a great time... It was extremely boring to just stay in Guanyin Monastery and watch a bunch of monks... Moreover, Master clearly told him to keep an eye on Elder Jinchi, but he didn't expect this When the old boy saw the Bodhisattva, he fainted and never woke up again.
When the little ghost from the Palace of Hell came to seduce the soul, Xiao Bailong realized that he was afraid of sin and the Bodhisattva's punishment, so he simply committed suicide in his dream.
Although the master did not blame him, Xiao Bailong always felt guilty and wanted to find an opportunity to make amends.
The Great Sage heard that Xiao Bailong also wanted to join in the fun, and said to himself: This is not possible, it is just Master alone, so I have no place to intervene, how can I have more of you?
With this thought in mind, he took the reins that he had put down in his hands, tied them to the wooden stake, made a tight buckle, and turned away.
Xiaobailong:...
