Sun Xingzhe plucked out a vellus hair, blew into it and turned it into a sharp knife. He peeled off the entire tiger skin three times, cut off half of it, made an apron, and tied it with rattan to cover his lower body.
Tiger print leather skirt, silk and linen belt, very wild!
It's a bit shameful, this monkey!
"Master, let's go. It's not too late to borrow some needles and thread from someone to sew."
Then he boasted about his magic weapon, "Master, this treasure of mine is the precious iron from the bottom of Tianhe Town that was obtained from the Dragon Palace of the East China Sea. It was thanks to it that I caused such a big commotion in heaven."
"It can be made big or small, and the length can be freely adjusted. It is usually the size of an embroidery needle and is hidden in the ear."
"Put it away quickly, don't let anyone see it!"
Tang Sanzong thought of something evilly.
Sun Xingzhe shook his golden cudgel, put it in his ear when facing the wind, and picked up the tiger.
"I haven't eaten meat for over five hundred years, but I can finally have some meat tonight."
Riding the horse to the west, the monkey chattered and boasted about his abilities. Before he knew it, the golden crow fell to the west and the stars first appeared.
"Master, walk faster. The terrain over there is flat and lush with trees. I guess there must be a village there. Let's stay there."
Sure enough, we walked for several more miles until the sky was completely dark, and a village appeared in front of us, with sparse lights shining through.
Arriving at a farmyard, the monkey door banged loudly, "Open the door, open the door!"
After a long time, an old man held an oil lamp and opened the small half door. He stuck his head out and used the oil lamp to shine on the monkey in front of him.
I saw a thunderous face with a sharp mouth, monkey cheeks, fangs turned out, and a tiger skin tied around his waist. He was so frightened that he threw away the oil lamp and shouted: "Ghost!"
Tang Sanbian hurriedly stepped forward to speak, "Old man, this poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. Please stay here for one night... Huh? Donor? Donor, please open the door. Donor... you are so kind!"
boom! The door is closed...
"Fellow, open the door, we will never take advantage of the masses..."
The courtyard said: "That Thunder Lord's face is clearly a villain. What kind of monk is he from the Tang Dynasty? Let's go quickly, or I will call someone!"
Sun Xingzhe threw down his baggage and tiger meat and shouted, "You are a blind man. I am the Monkey King, the Monk of the Tang Dynasty. I am the disciple of the Monk of the Tang Dynasty. I have met you before."
A head was exposed on the wall, and he looked at the monkey carefully under the moonlight, "Where have you seen me?"
"When you were a child, you picked up firewood and vegetables in front of me. Is it still fake?"
"You're talking nonsense, where do you live? Why did I ever pick up firewood in front of you?"
"I am the oppressed great sage at the foot of the Mountain of Two Worlds. Today I have to be rescued by my master. Can you take a closer look?"
"Huh? From what you said, it sounds a bit like it!"
The head on the wall disappeared, and then the door was opened again. The old man picked up the oil lamp and looked at it a few times. "The moss and grass branches on the head are gone. It's a little thinner, but I can't recognize it."
Nonsense. I have been abused for more than five hundred years. I am malnourished. It is strange that I am not thin!
The father-in-law immediately called his family, welcomed the master and apprentice into his home, and asked them to prepare a fast meal. However, the monkey picked up the tiger meat, and a meal was ready in a short time.
After chatting with his father-in-law and having dinner, the monkey asked his father-in-law's family to boil some hot water, took turns taking a bath with Tang Sanzang, borrowed a needle and thread, and sewed the tiger skin there.
Tang Sanbian gave Monkey his set of monk robes, but they were too big. Then he changed them into smaller ones and put on a tiger skin vest, but they were still stylish.
After finishing everything, the monkeys consciously fed the horses, went back to their rooms and turned off the lights to sleep. It was a peaceful night.
After Tang San returned to his room after the burial, he used the communication bead, told the Queen Mother what he thought, and asked her to help pay attention to the movement.
Naturally, the Queen Mother agreed wholeheartedly. After discussing the details with him, she said some love words before reluctantly ending the call.
Then Tang Sanfu called the Jade Emperor again, and was quickly connected. He was panting, "What's the matter? Well..."
That's great, you are quite busy?
When Tang San asked about Sun Xingzhe's background, he paused for a moment and seemed to say to the side: "You guys wait a minute, I'll go talk to you!"
Tang Sanzhan's mouth twitched...
After a few rustling breaths, the Jade Emperor said, "What do you want to know?"
"Who is the monkey's master?"
The Jade Emperor seemed to have asked someone to check it a long time ago, and said without thinking: "That is originally a fairy stone on the Huaguo Mountain in the Aolai Kingdom of Dongsheng China. It received the essence of the sun and the moon, gave birth to a fairy fetus, and gave birth to a stone egg."
"I once ordered Heavenly Court to check the place where he learned his art. There is no such thing as Lingtai Fangcun Mountain or Xianyue Sanxing Cave in Hezhou, Xiniu."
"Is there such a thing?"
Tang San was stunned. It was understandable that Heavenly Court couldn't find any clues, but it didn't make sense that they didn't even find this place.
"The only explanation is that this person's cultivation level is really not low and he can open up a world."
The so-called world is actually the so-called Immortal Cave. According to the level of cultivation, the levels of the world opened up are different.
The lowest level is to borrow magic weapons and other objects to create a scene similar to the cave in the pot.
Those with higher levels can incorporate part of the mountains and rivers into their own space, and use this world to separate a part of the space to avoid interference from outsiders. Most immortal caves are like this.
But this kind of thing is not completely separated from this world and can be found by immortals with high cultivation level.
No matter how high the state is, it is to directly open up a space with one's own magic power without the help of external objects, and blend into this world, which is ethereal and ethereal and difficult to find.
It is said that when you reach the realm of the Great God, you can even reopen the earth, water, fire and wind, and recreate the world parallel to this world.
"Could that be what Tathagata did?"
The Jade Emperor said: "He doesn't have that kind of cultivation. The most he can do is transform the Buddha's kingdom into the palm of his hand, and he has to rely on the alms bowl."
"So I guess it was either done by the Great Heavenly Lord, or by a Sanxian who is indifferent to fame and wealth and hides his cultivation."
"What to do with this monkey? This is a crucial step!"
Tang Sanzun immediately expressed his thoughts, and the Jade Emperor pondered for a moment and said: "According to the plan, I will pay attention in secret, just in time to see which master is behind this monkey!"
It can be seen that the Jade Emperor was also very curious about the origin of Sun Xingzhe.
After cutting off contact, Tang Sanzong pondered for a long time and finally made up his mind that this matter must be done, otherwise the next step of the work would not be carried out at all.
Not to mention the fairy fetus, even the biological son of God can be killed without fail.
Speaking of which, I still have a trump card, Wu Meiniang!
The Buddhist scripture retrieval plan is not only to retrieve the Tripitaka scriptures, but also to translate them and disseminate them.
If you want to spread smoothly in the Tang Dynasty, the most influential country in the East, the future Wu Zetian will be the key.
After thinking about it, he used the communication bead to contact Wu Meiniang.
Hearing his voice, Wu Meiniang was overjoyed and told her about the pain of parting. Taizong also kept his promise and allowed her to stay in Tangquan Palace and rewarded her with many treasures.
Nothing major except boredom.
"Brother Sanyan, when will you come back to visit the slave family?"
"Dear Mei Niang, please wait for a while. My career has been on the rise recently. I will come to see you after I finish my busy work these days!"
After comforting Mei Niang for a while, the two of them disconnected the communication bead. After going over the possible situations in his mind, Tang San fell asleep.
The next day, the master and the apprentice packed their luggage, washed and fasted, and left the village. They mounted their horses and headed west with the monkeys leading the way.
At noon, the two found a flat place, took out dry food and prepared lunch.
Tang San buried secretly communicated with the plain-colored Yunjie Banner, and calmly had a routine with the monkey.
