"In that case, I wonder if Mrs. Jia can tell this poor monk where your thousands of acres of farmland are located?"
After listening to what Lishan's mother said, Tang Sanzang smiled flatly and asked her this way.
"Oh, naturally it is spread over hundreds of miles around, and is managed by hired long-term tenant farmers."
"So, where are your dozens of pastures and cattle and sheep?"
"Of course they are scattered all over the place along with the many fields."
"So that's it. No wonder the poor monk just walked all the way and saw dense mountains and forests all around, but only fertile fields and fertile fields!"
Tang Sanzang nodded in sudden realization, "The poor monk will ask again, during the autumn harvest season, how do you transport the rice in the fields all over the country through the mountains and forests back to the village?"
"In addition, where are the cattle, sheep, and poultry in the pasture sold?"
"There are many bandits in the poor mountains and rivers nearby. With the skills of you four weak women, how did you manage to keep this wealth of thousands of dollars for many years?"
"..."
Tang Sanzang asked Tang Sanzang one question after another. At first, Old Mother Lishan could answer the questions fluently, but then she began to falter, and in the end she was left speechless by the questions.
Obviously, Lishan's mother's description of her family's property can no longer be justified.
After all, she was originally a high-ranking Da Luo Jinxian, and she had long since stopped listening to the fireworks of the world.
He seems to have no basic understanding of the way of life in the mortal world, and has long been separated from the masses.
"This Tang Sanzang, I just want to test whether their master and disciples have the perseverance to go westward. Do you have to embarrass me?"
Although Old Mother Lishan was smiling on the outside, she was already very angry in her heart.
Tang Sanzang's repeated inquiries were actually telling her that he already knew her identity and hoped not to embarrass her further.
At the same time, he was also indirectly warning Zhu Bajie not to let his emotions show off anymore.
And no matter how cowardly Zhu Bajie was, after being reprimanded by his master, he could only hesitate to speak and retreated angrily.
"Since Elder Tang has said so, how can the little woman continue to insist!"
"How about you, master and disciple, discuss it first, and then decide whether to stay or go after the discussion is complete, what do you think?"
Seeing that things were not going to end well, Old Mother Lishan immediately borrowed the donkey from the slope and said this to Tang Sanzang.
"Thank you, Madam Jia, for making it happen!"
After a conversation, Lishan's mother immediately retreated to the back hall, leaving the space for their master and disciples.
Seeing that she finally left, Tang Sanzang also breathed a sigh of relief.
Then, he looked at Zhu Bajie with an expression of hatred, "Bajie, do you know what you just did?"
"Of course I, old pig, know that. These little demons are openly recruiting sons-in-law here. Isn't it just a love robbery specifically targeted at me?"
Zhu Bajie said nonchalantly, "So I think instead of being serious here, I might as well take the opportunity to have a good time. After all, this journey is too boring, and I have long wanted to have some fun!"
"But Master, it's good for you. You've been pushing back and forth, causing the old pig's beautiful thing to come to naught again!"
In the end, Zhu Bajie was quite disappointed.
Although he was not lustful, he would not lose all his sense when he saw a beauty. He still had some rationality and judgment left.
"Hmph, you're such a cowardly fool, you just think I'm a goblin, so you think you can cause trouble as you like, right?"
Sun Wukong, who had been silent all this time, cursed a few words, as if he was having fun.
"What happened to the goblins in the disaster? At worst, I won't be too late to beat them to death with a rake after I, the old pig, am done!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang's face suddenly turned green.
This pig head really dares to say it!
What if the Bodhisattva and the others heard about it, wouldn't he be able to punish himself for the sin of being a believer?
"Bajie, you have to think carefully. The Mrs. Jia whom you called both your wife and your mother just now is not a fairy, but Old Mother Lishan who has descended to earth!"
In order to prevent this pig-head from continuing to talk nonsense, Tang Sanzang simply told the truth, "And the three unseen daughters she mentioned are actually Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Samantabhadra Bodhisattva among the four great Bodhisattvas of Buddhism! "
"Why, do you even dare to challenge the Bodhisattva's ideas?"
"What!?"
Zhu Bajie, who was originally looking carefree, turned pale in an instant, and sat down on the ground in shock.
The person who was flirting with me just now was actually Lishan’s mother?
This this……
"Master, why didn't you tell me earlier! Not only did I lose face to my family this time, but I also completely offended my mother!"
Zhu Bajie suddenly lost his mind and started wailing with a burst of tears.
"Hey, I always wanted to remind you, but you never gave me a chance!"
"It's just that it's not a worthwhile trip to see the aloof Lishan old lady with such a charming side!"
Tang Sanzang sighed, and like Wukong, he also had a fun-loving attitude.
"Then... Master, what should I do? If Bodhisattva and the others come later, they won't be able to peel off my three layers of skin!"
Zhu Bajie was completely panicked and quickly begged Tang Sanzang.
"It's best to follow my teacher's advice. It would really be awkward to meet other Bodhisattvas at this time."
Tang Sanzang thought for a moment and said this.
After all, Lishan Mother and the three Bodhisattvas came here to test their Zen mind, and he also expressed his ambition to them.
In addition, with Bajie's troubles, it would be better to leave as soon as possible and avoid direct contact with them, otherwise the scene would be a bit unimaginable...
"Master is absolutely right! After all, our journey is urgent, so we should hurry up first. As for Bodhisattva and the others... we should say hello later when we have time!"
As if Zhu Bajie had been granted amnesty, he quickly got up, put down his luggage, and walked out of the hall as if he was running away.
Tang Sanzang said hello to Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing, and then stood up to leave.
But just after taking two steps, Zhu Bajie suddenly stopped and looked at a silver mirror in front of him that was inlaid with gems and jade.
If I remember correctly, there was no such mirror here when they came just now.
But now it appears for no reason, but it also seems a bit strange.
"Bajie, what are you looking at?"
Seeing him looking at the pig face in the mirror, Tang Sanzang frowned and asked.
After hearing this, Zhu Bajie seemed to be startled, his whole body suddenly trembled, and his face instantly turned pale.
"No...nothing, nothing!"
He wiped the cold sweat from his face and said in a panic.
Then he took three steps, looked back at the mirror, and stumbled out of the manor.
However, just like Zhu Bajie, Sun Wukong suddenly stopped in front of the mirror at this time.
He seemed to have seen something unclean, but he rubbed his eyes and took a closer look in the mirror.
"Hmph, what kind of unparalleled hero is your husband? He's crazy!"
After a while, he suddenly spat into the mirror and then walked out the door in a swaggering manner.
"Master, what's going on with Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother? Why do they suddenly become incoherent when they look at this mirror?"
The two people's reactions made Sha Wujing very strange.
Then he stared at the mirror for a long time, but he still didn't notice any clues.
"No, it's impossible! Why are you here!?"
However, Sha Wujing's words did not receive the response they deserved.
On the contrary, after Tang Sanzang accidentally glanced at the silver mirror, his pupils suddenly shrank, and he subconsciously exclaimed!
Just because at this moment, he suddenly felt a ray of divine light in the mirror invade his consciousness without warning!
Under the divine light, the scene around Tang Sanzang became blurry.
And while the divine light lingered, a graceful woman appeared in the mirror for no reason and appeared in front of him...
