Journey to the West Bandits: The Poor Monk Just Wants to Be a Godfather

Chapter 216 The Third Floor of the Pagoda (Thanks to book friend 189054 for the tip)
Dapeng looked at the blue sky that suddenly appeared above his head, and his whole body collapsed.

Is this still reasonable?
I served him delicious food and drinks, and finally looked forward to Tang San being buried, thinking that I could live a peaceful life as a demon king here.

Before he could be happy, sadness came one after another.

"Your Majesty... Your Majesty, how about we move to Shituoling? There is still a cave there."

"It's better than the wind and sun here."

"These monks are so shameless. After eating and drinking, they even take away the palace. How is this different from bandits?"

Amidst the curses, the monsters of the Lion and Camel Kingdom were forced to embark on the road of relocation.

……

In the Humvee.

Zhu Bajie approached Tang San's burial with a curious look on his face and asked puzzledly: "Master, why did you take away all the palaces of the Lion and Camel Kingdom?"

Not only Zhu Bajie, several other disciples were also curious.

This palace looks ordinary, and it is not like the treasures they encountered before.

At best, it was just a bigger house, and in terms of value, it was not as valuable as the few meals they had eaten.

According to their standards, this kind of thing has no robbery value at all.

Tang Sanzun said with a smile: "Disciples, do you still remember what my master once told you about leaving home?"

Zhu Bajie nodded: "Master, I remember this old pig."

"But the palace of the Lion and Camel Kingdom isn't a well?"

Tang Sanbian waved his hand: "I bring this up to my teacher because I want to teach you a related proverb."

As soon as I heard that Tang San's funeral was about to start again.

Several disciples pricked up their ears with serious expressions.

Although Master has never seen any Buddhist teachings, some words he accidentally said can make them deeply understand.

Sha Wujin even took out a small notebook and prepared to write down all the master's words.

“The old saying goes like this: Don’t forget the man who dug the well when you are drinking water.”

Draft?

Well digger?
Sha Wujin stopped writing in his hand, scratched his head and asked, "Master, Xiaosha is getting more and more confused the more he listens."

"This sentence cannot be understood from its surface meaning. You have to delve into its deeper meaning."

Tang Sanzian explained patiently: "Do you think we ate in Xiaopeng's lion and camel kingdom?"

Several apprentices nodded silently.

Tang Sanbian continued: "This is the same as the proverb about draft."

“Don’t forget the well digger when you have eaten the water.”

"We had a meal in the Lion and Camel Country, how could we forget Xiaopeng who cooked for me?"

Sha Wujin thoughtfully wrote these words down in his notebook.

After looking at the two senior brothers again and finding that they had the same expressions, he silently closed his mind about asking questions.

Although he still didn't understand, he was shocked.

Zhu Bajie was silent for a long time, and suddenly said: "Master, if I understand the old pig correctly, this sentence should mean that we should not forget the hard work of the well diggers when we get water, right?"

Tang Sanzan nodded in satisfaction.

Little Piggy is indeed smart.

No wonder scientific research shows that pig brains are one of the few animals that are close to humans...

Seeing that his master agreed with his answer, Zhu Bajie pondered for a moment and then asked:
"Then Master, we had enough to eat and drink, and before we left, we even robbed someone else's house. Isn't this inappropriate to use this sentence?"

Tang Sanzian said calmly: "It's too small, the layout is too small!"

"This Dapeng is Tathagata's uncle!"

"I took away his palace from the Lion and Camel Kingdom just to help him!"

"You see, he is at best a demon king in the lower world, but if he can return to the West, wouldn't it be inappropriate for one person to be inferior to ten thousand people?"

"I took away his palace to stop him from wanting to stay in the Lion and Camel Kingdom, so that Tathagata would have to take him back."

"Isn't this for his own good?"

What is the pattern?

This is the layout!

No wonder Master can become Master. He does good deeds without leaving his name behind and considers things so long-term. It is right to follow Master!
Gee!
"The master's realm is so high, I'm afraid it's hard for my apprentice to catch him."

Zhu Bajie patted the Hummer and complimented him with a smile.

"Ha ha."

Tang Sanzian smiled lightly.

The realm is so good!
If the palace of the lion and camel country hadn't caused the pagoda to become the third floor, would I have been able to keep this thing?

Tang Sanzong closed his eyes, and his consciousness silently entered the pagoda.

As soon as he entered, he saw Taishang Laojun happily reading a novel on the recliner. The landlord of Pantaoyuan was behind him, squeezing his shoulders obsequiously.

Hong Hai'er and Yinjiao were carefully looking after the two alchemy furnaces in front of them.

"Hehe, this novel is really well written. When I meet the author Zhou Xianyu next time, I will reward him with a few elixirs."

"Laojun, how are you doing in your little life?"

Tang Sanzong stopped going to the third floor.

"Hehe, thanks to the holy monk, I feel much more relaxed since I came here."

Taishang Laojun stood up, leaned towards Tang San's burial, blinked and said, "Holy Monk, I feel like your space seems to have an extra layer?"

They all live here, and this old man can quite feel it.

Tang Sanzian nodded without denying.

"That's right, Holy Monk, you know me. I used to live in the 33rd heaven. I'm used to living in high places."

"I'm coughing when I live on the first floor..."

Tang Sanzong frowned: "What on earth do you mean?"

"Cough cough."

Taishang Laojun coughed and said a little embarrassedly: "What I mean is, can I live upstairs in the future?"

Tang San was stunned for a moment, we are all here, Laojun, why are you still talking about pomp?
However, there is indeed no life in the second floor of the pagoda. If Laojun lives in it, it may have miraculous effects.

Tang Sanzian nodded: "You can live on the second floor if you want, but I have to tell you first that the environment on the second floor is different from the first floor."

"You may not get used to it."

Lao Jun raised his eyebrows: "What's wrong with this?"

"Even if the second floor is a rough room, with my quasi-sage-level magic power, I can at least maintain it as a finely decorated room."

"Okay, you can figure it out yourself."

Tang Sanzong glanced at Lao Jun helplessly, and then climbed up to the third floor of the pagoda alone.

The third floor was filled with fog.

The spiritual energy was on another level compared to the second level, but here Tang Sanzong clearly felt that his consciousness seemed to be restricted by something.

The third layer can only be observed with the naked eye.

In the mist, there seems to be a towering ancient tree standing in it.

The tree branches that blocked the sky and sun dimmed the light in the entire space.

A faint scent of pine filled his nose.

In an instant.

Tang Sanzian felt that everything in front of him became clear.

He raised his head and looked forward, only to see a huge pine tree towering in the third space.

Different from ordinary pine trees, this pine tree has a misty earthy color all over, and even the pine needles on it seem to be withered and yellow.

On the seemingly rotten tree branches, there are ten pine cones that are also earth-yellow hanging solitary.

When Tang Sanzong saw this scene clearly, he shouted in surprise:
"Is this the legendary five-needle pine with innate spiritual roots?"
