Almost every family in Gao Laozhuang had the surname Gao, so every family refused the master and apprentice's accommodation.
Well, there is only one reason, that is, their patriarch, Mrs. Gao, has a happy event at home and has no time to receive it.
Finally, the three of them found their dormitory in the only house named Liu in the west of the village.
The Liu family only consists of an old couple, and they did not originally live in Gaolaozhuang. It was only because their daughter married here and they had no sons that they moved here to take care of them.
During the meal, Sanzang asked Old Man Liu what happy event the Gao family had.
Old Man Liu told everyone that today is the engagement day for Gao Cuilan, the daughter of Gao Yuanwai.
Although Gao Yuanwai is the leading wealthy family in the village, Mrs. Gao only gave birth to three daughters, which made him extremely depressed because he needed someone to inherit his vast wealth.
After much thought, Gao Yuanwai finally decided to recruit a son-in-law for his youngest daughter to protect the descendants of the Gao family.
Who would have thought that the third young lady of the Gao family had a very high vision. Over the past few years, the matchmaker had introduced countless young men to her, but none of them caught her eye.
Although Mrs. Gao was worried about this, he didn't want to wrong his daughter too much, so he put off the matter.
Four months ago, a large insect suddenly appeared in the mountains north of Gaolaozhuang. It injured several villagers in just a few days, causing panic for a while.
To this end, senior officials posted notices outside, hiring hunters to go into the mountains to eliminate harm.
Not long after the notice was posted, a young man named Tian Peng came to Gaolaozhuang and volunteered to go into the mountains to eliminate the harm.
Seeing Tian Peng coming here alone, the senior officials kept shaking their heads.
Tian Peng laughed when he saw this, took out a life and death document from his arms, and said that if he lost his life, it would have nothing to do with Gao Laozhuang.
Seeing that they couldn't stop him, everyone finally agreed and let Tian Peng go into the mountain to give it a try.
Unexpectedly, the next day, before everyone started to worry, Tian Peng had already appeared outside the village with the corpse of the big insect.
Seeing Tian Peng return, Gao Laozhuang entertained him with a feast.
After asking during the banquet, I found out that Tian Peng had no father or mother and was alone. This made Gao Yuanwai's thoughts suddenly come to life.
Sure enough, after Miss Gao and Tian Peng met intentionally or unintentionally, the two immediately looked at each other stupidly.
Seeing that Lang was interested in having a concubine, Gao Yuanwai asked Tian Peng to settle down at home.
This Tian Peng is not only excellent in martial arts, but also works very hard. One person can usually do the work of three people.
In the following months, Tian Peng and Miss Gao became closer and closer, and Gao Yuanwai was delighted to see them.
Just a few days ago, Gao Yuanwai finally decided to get engaged to the two of them first, and the date was chosen today.
Because almost everyone in Gao Laozhuang has the same ancestor, the entire village would be dispatched if something happened to the family. This is also the reason why Sanzang encountered obstacles one after another.
After hearing the whole story, Xue Tianqing asked Sanzang and Bajie to continue fasting while he went to the courtyard to feed the horses.
After adding some fodder to the white horse, he slipped out of the Liu family gate and walked along the road to the outside of the village.
When they arrived at a deserted place, Xue Tianqing disappeared, and then walked quickly towards the Gao family compound.
The reason why he did this was because he was afraid that his opponent would be prescient. After all, when casting spells in the lower realm where there was no aura, it would be easy for others to detect him if the distance was too close.
When they arrived at the Gao Family Courtyard, they entered the hall avoiding the comings and goings. Seeing the groom-to-be in red and colorful clothes on the main seat, Xue Tianqing frowned.
Because the groom-to-be was none other than Marshal Tianpeng, who had fought against him before.
I saw that not only the appearance of the other party had not changed, but also the supernatural power. The only difference from before was that he no longer had a beard.
Looking at the proud Marshal Tianpeng, Xue Tianqing sneered secretly: Tianpeng, Tian Peng, don’t you know how to give yourself a nice name?
After wandering around the Gao Family Courtyard for a while and not seeing what he wanted, Xue Tianqing turned around and left.
After returning to Liu's house, Sanzang and others had finished their meal: "Wukong, where have you been?"
Xue Tianqing smiled: "I felt a little bored just now, so I went for a walk outside the village. Master, you have been traveling all day, so you should rest early."
After Sanzang was settled, Xue Tianqing waved to Bajie, and then the two of them came to the courtyard.
"Bajie, you only have a long sword to defend yourself, and it's also a plop weapon. If you encounter a monster in the future, how will you fight it?"
Bajie scratched his head in embarrassment: "To be honest, senior brother, I got this sword by chance. I practice on my own. I have no teacher and no way. Where can I get a magical weapon?"
Xue Tianqing smiled: "As a brother, I will give you a magic weapon today, but it may look a little ugly."
"What magic weapon?"
"Let's go, we'll find out when we get there."
In order to prevent Tianpeng from noticing, he pulled Bajie out of Gao Laozhuang, and then Xue Tianqing rode the clouds into the air.
Then he closed his eyes, released his spiritual consciousness that had not been used for a long time, and explored all directions. After a while, his body was shaken.
Immediately afterwards, Xue Tianqing opened her eyes and smiled at Bajie: "Today is your fate."
After saying that, he took Bajie and headed northwest.
The two of them walked about two hundred miles, only to see a high mountain blocking the road ahead.
There is a cave halfway up the mountain, which is called Yunzhan Cave in Fuling Mountain.
Seeing Xue Tianqing standing still while looking at the words on the cave door, Bajie wondered: "Brother, why are you in a daze?"
Xue Tianqing murmured: "I didn't expect that such a place really existed."
Bajie was confused: "Senior brother, do you know this place?"
Xue Tianqing shook his head: "I mean I didn't expect that man to hide the weapon here, but he was still careless."
After saying that, Xue Tianqing walked straight through the closed door and came to Yunzhan Cave: "Bajie, you should be able to come in."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bajie appeared next to Xue Tianqing: "Senior brother, although I can't compare with you, I can walk through walls and courtyards with ease."
Xue Tianqing pointed to a bright light deep in the cave: "Today, I will give you a treasure as a brother. Whether you can tame it depends on your ability. I heard that the magic weapon has a weapon spirit. If you can't kill the weapon spirit, Even if you get it, you won’t be able to keep it for a long time.”
Arriving at the depths of the cave, Bajie couldn't help but swallow his saliva when he saw the nine-tooth Baoqin gold rake standing on the wall.
Xue Tianqing smiled and said: "What, are you not satisfied?"
Bajie chuckled: "It looks like an Immortal weapon at first glance, but I don't know why it's here."
"You don't care why it's here, since we met it, it's ours."
The moment he held the nail rake in his hand, Bajie looked excited: "Thank you, senior brother."
Xue Tianqing shook his head and said: "What an idiot. Why do you and I need to say thank you to each other? But I advise you to erase the weapon spirit as soon as possible. Otherwise, I am afraid that wherever you go, the owner of the weapon will chase you."
Bajie was stunned: "Then the magic weapon is lost, will the master be anxious?"
Xue Tianqing rolled her eyes: "No matter who its owner is, it happened in the past. Now it belongs to you."
Bajie looked confused: "Senior brother, does this count as stealing?"
Hearing this, Xue Tianqing grabbed the rake and a white light flashed in her hand: "Now that you are also a disciple of Buddhism, can Buddhist things be considered stealing? This is called robbery!"
While Xue Tianqing was speaking, a scream sounded out, but when Bajie raised his ears and listened carefully, there was no movement.
Throwing the rake to Bajie, Xue Tianqing pouted and said, "Let's go back to Gao Laozhuang. This rake will be yours from now on. As long as you refine it carefully, sooner or later it will become a spiritual weapon."
Bajie was still confused: "Senior brother, is this appropriate?"
Xue Tianqing grabbed Bajie's ears and said, "Why are you so stubborn? You look more and more like that idiot."
After saying that, he took Bajie and drove straight to Gao Laozhuang again.
About twenty miles away from the village, a group of men and horses suddenly appeared in the air and blocked the brothers' path.
I saw flags fluttering, trumpets flying, and soldiers with bright helmets standing on both sides.
There is also a general in the middle, holding a big ax to open the sky and a blue dragon sword hanging on his waist.
"Sun Wukong, hand over the divine iron, and I will let you go west. If you don't listen to good advice and say it's you, even Tang Sanzang will never leave this place!"
Xue Tianqing looked at the heavenly soldiers and generals opposite and was speechless. He had never thought that the heavenly court would secretly cause trouble on the way to the west, otherwise he would not have made such conditions with Guanyin Bodhisattva.
But openly intercepting Sanzang's journey to the west was definitely beyond Xue Tianqing's expectations. By doing so, where would Heaven place Buddhism?
After a long while, Xue Tianqing asked: "Who are you?"
"I am the giant spirit general in heaven. I am here to welcome the return of the Divine Iron on the order of the Jade Emperor. Sun Wukong, the Jade Emperor has a golden saying, as long as you hand over the Divine Iron, I will no longer be in trouble with you from now on."
Xue Tianqing and Bajie looked at each other, and then said to the Giant Spirit God: "Let me tell you, this divine general, we are going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures on the orders of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Isn't it appropriate for you to intercept us so blatantly?"
The Giant Spirit God snorted: "What does the matter of Buddhism have to do with heaven? Just now a certain family made it clear that as long as they hand over the magic iron, they will let you go westward. If you insist on not handing over, I will say that it is you, that Tang Dynasty Tripitaka will also stay here.”
Xue Tianqing's eyes flashed past the heavenly soldiers and generals, and looked in the direction of Gao Laozhuang.
I saw the mist there and the steaming clouds, just like the scene I saw in heaven.
"Giant Spirit God, what is going on in Gao Laozhuang? Is it possible that it is all a fantasy created by your heaven?"
The Giant Spirit God laughed loudly: "Of course not. If I had arranged it in advance, I'm afraid you would have noticed it long ago. But don't worry, Tang Sanzang is drinking tea in the company of the four heavenly kings. As long as you hand over the divine iron, he will not lose one Not a single hair."
Hearing this, Xue Tianqing looked puzzled. He really couldn't figure out why Tianting would do this.
Tang Seng is just a mortal body. As long as he leads his troops to surround him, is he still at their mercy?
After so much effort, even giving up the nine-tooth rake, just to separate yourself from the master?
Thinking of this, Xue Tianqing stretched out his hand, and the golden cudgel appeared in his palm: "General, the divine iron is here. Come and get it if you want it, but I really want to know who came up with such a clever idea?"
The Giant Spirit God smiled again: "There's no need to ask, of course it's Taibaijinxing. Okay, I've told you everything I need to tell you. Just give me the divine iron."
Xue Tianqing bared her teeth: "I just said that I wanted to come and get it. It seems I never said I would give it to you."
