After climbing over a high mountain, Zhang Xiu stopped and looked up, only to see dense bamboo fences and thatched huts in the distance.
The setting sun was shining, the mountains and forests were buzzing with birds, and an old sheepherder was singing a song, driving his sheep home.
Yang Jian listened to the singing that drifted in the wind and said: "The people here are simple and honest. It must be a village with good families, and you can stay here."
After Zhang Xiu looked at it, he couldn't help but nodded and said to Yang Jian: "Amitabha, after traveling for half a day, I feel a little hungry. Why don't you take the three-pointed two-edged knife and go to the sheepherder to beg alms and ask him to give us a few sheep to eat? That’s not good.”
The corner of Yang Jian's mouth twitched and he couldn't help but complain: "How can anyone carry a knife to beg for alms? Are you pretending to be a monk or a robber..."
Zhang Xiu said with some displeasure: "You rebel, you dare to call me a monk. If you dare to do this next time, I will have to recite a curse."
“@#¥%¥#@……”
Even if you can recite the tightening curse, I still have to wear a golden hoop on my head!
Yang Jian was no longer able to complain, so he turned away from Zhang Xiu to avoid being angry by him.
Soon, Zhang Xiu came to the richest family in the town.
Hearing that an eminent monk had arrived, the old man came out to welcome him, saluted Zhang Xiu and said, "Young man, I have seen the elder. I wonder where the elder came from and where he is going?"
Zhang Xiubao said solemnly: "The four poor monks, masters and disciples came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty to worship Buddha and seek scriptures in the West. They passed through the precious land. They ran out of money. I hope all the fellow villagers and elders can help me if I have money. My...ahem, I would like to stay for one night, so I would like to ask the donor to make it convenient."
Seeing Zhang Xiubao's solemn appearance as a holy monk, the old man who was about to pay for the support realized something was wrong and said with a messy expression: "Holy monk, please come in, I will have someone prepare a vegetarian meal..."
Ao Xue snorted and blew out two blasts of cold air from her nose: "Who are you looking down on? I want to eat meat!"
The old man was startled and staggered back two steps. Jigong quickly caught him with quick eyes and hands, and said with a smile: "Sea cucumbers will work too!"
The old man turned pale with fright, and said in a trembling voice: "How come this horse can talk? Isn't it a monster?"
Zhang Xiu quickly explained: "Old man, please don't panic. This white horse was originally the Dragon King in the Huaihe River. Because he made a big mistake and offended the Seventh Princess of Heaven, he was punished and turned into a horse to ride for a poor monk."
"Dragon King?!"
The old man was startled and looked at Ao Xue in disbelief. When he saw two streams of ice mist coming out of Ao Xue's nostrils, he finally believed Zhang Xiu's words and asked boldly: "How dare you ask this Dragon King to commit any crime?" What happened?"
Zhang Xiu's eyes were full of anger, and she said with a serious face: "You don't know anything except me, she is so bold at such a young age that she actually learned how to find someone to do her homework for her!"
Outside the veteran: "???"
Ao Xue didn't know what she was thinking. When she was looking for someone to do her homework, she turned to Xiao Qing. The answers they wrote together were horrible.
Asking how to have a good wheat harvest, the solution is to go to the temple to worship Bodhisattva, how to control floods, the solution is to worship Bodhisattva in the temple, how to clean the pig pen, the solution is to go to the temple to worship Bodhisattva.
I don’t know which Bodhisattva who accumulated great virtues in his previous life actually received two such devout followers...
Looking at the old man with a question mark on his head, Zhang Xiu smiled and introduced everyone to him: "The one with three eyes is my eldest apprentice Erlang Shen Yang Jian, and the sloppy monk is my second apprentice Jigong, and the woman who carries the luggage , is my third disciple, Mystical Sound Buddha Mother.”
Outside the veteran: "..."
Guess whether I believe it or not!
By this time, the old man no longer believed Zhang Xiu's lies, but he did not dare to offend Zhang Xiu. He smiled forcefully and kept responding, letting them into the house and letting people prepare food and drinks.
After sitting down, Zhang Xiu asked: "Old man, where is this place? Are there any monsters nearby?"
The old man came back and said: "This is the borderland of Uzang, and we call it Gao Laozhuang. Most of the people in this village have the surname Gao, so we call it Gao Laozhuang."
As for monsters, I heard that there is a group of monsters entrenched in Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain, specializing in eating travelers passing by. If you are going to the West, it is best to take a detour. "
"Gao Laozhuang, are we walking to Bajie's hometown?"
Zhang Xiu glanced at Yang Jian in surprise.
Yang Jian nodded and asked, "How to deal with the monsters in Fuling Mountain?"
Zhang Xiu rolled his eyes: "Kill all the monsters that have eaten people, leave a few little monsters out, and say that eating my meat will make you immortal, and lure out all the monsters so that the demons can be killed." The news that Heart is about to be born in Tianzhu spreads."
Yang Jian responded, then turned into a golden light and headed towards Fuling Mountain.
After a while, Yang Jian returned and said, "It's done."
Zhang Xiu Zhizhi smiled and said, "Do they believe it?"
Yang Jian shook his head: "They don't believe it. When they heard your name, they thought you were going to trick them and kill them."
Zhang Xiu's eyelids twitched: "Then you still said everything was done?"
Yang Jian said calmly: "I later changed my story and said that you went to the West to suppress the Buddha. The little monsters immediately rejoiced and ran to notify the monsters to prepare for your arrival."
Zhang Xiu: "What the hell..."
Zhang Xiu punched the table and said depressedly: "Forget it, I just need to attract the monsters anyway."
After a day of rest, Zhang Xiu and others set out on the road again.
Ao Xue's punishment was over and she transformed back into her human body. She jumped happily at the front, picking wild flowers for a while, climbing up a tree to pick a few fruits, and having a great time.
While she was in high spirits, Ao Xue suddenly twitched her nose and turned around and said: "Zhang Xiu, I smell the evil spirit of the Shui Tribe. There are monsters coming towards us!"
Zhang Xiu's eyes lit up: "Can you tell what kind of aquarium it is? Hairy crab or lobster?"
Ao Xue said: "I don't know, but it smells like seafood."
A moment later, with an expectant expression on Zhang Xiu's face, a purple-haired banshee came up from the opposite side. After Zhang Xiu saw her true identity clearly, a smile immediately froze on his face: "Ao Xue, you Dragon Clan Guan Kelp also Is it seafood?”
With a hint of fear on his face, the kelp spirit stopped in the distance and saluted: "May I ask who is coming, is he King Zhang Xiu?"
Zhang Xiu came out of the sadness of losing the seafood feast, nodded and said, "I am Zhang Xiu, who are you and why are you blocking my way?"
The kelp spirit said quickly: "Your Majesty, my master is the Golden Dragon King of the West Sea. When the Golden Dragon King heard about your Majesty's feat of going to the West to suppress Buddha, he admired him very much. He specially held a banquet in the Dragon Palace and sent a villain to invite the King to the banquet! "
Zhang Xiu smiled slightly and said with satisfaction: "Your master is very good at doing things. If I am happy with my meal, I will send him to the West and make him a Bodhisattva and Arhat!"
When the kelp spirit saw Zhang Xiu's agreement, she couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. Although there seemed to be something wrong with Zhang Xiu's words, it didn't matter. Anyway, the task assigned to her by the master had been completed!
