Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 309
It is said that Tang Monk and the four people entered the city in a hurry. Under the darkness of night, no one really discovered their identities.

When we walked to the front of Wang Xiaoer's store, we could only hear shouting from inside.Some said: "I've lost my headscarf!" Some said: "I've lost my clothes!"

The traveler just pushed them away and led them to rest at the opposite door.Before the lantern was put away, the man approached the door and called: "Seller, do you have a spare room where we can rest?"

A woman responded: "Yes, please come in."

The four people quickly approached and put the white horse in the backyard. The four of them went upstairs to rest. A waiter came up with an oil lamp. Sun Wukong stretched out his head and blew out the oil lamp. He said with a smile: "Such a big and bright moon, No need for oil lamps.”

The waiter had a smile on his face, murmured a few words in his mind, and turned around to go downstairs.

The waiter went downstairs, and a woman and a girl came up. The girl was carrying four bowls of tea. The woman was standing in front of the door without entering the room, just talking to Sun Wukong.

"Where do you guys come from? What do you do for a living?"

Monkey King laughed and said, "We are from the north, we are horse dealers."

The woman smiled and said, "I am a rare horse dealer."

"Haha, this one is Tang Daguan, this one is Zhu Sanguan, this one is Sha Siguan, and I am Sun Erguan."

"It's just that we live together with different surnames, and there are ten brothers in total."

Sun Wukong was eloquent, but he also made it well-founded. After the woman asked a few more questions, she began to believe it.

"What I have here are the upper, middle and lower ones. The upper one: a banquet with five fruits and five vegetables. The Lion Fairy fights with sugar on the table, one for two, and the little lady is invited to accompany her to sing and rest. Each person should have five coins of silver. Even the rent is included.”

The woman talked about the tricks in the store.

Sun Wukong said with a smile: "It seems that my money is not enough to hire a young lady!"

The woman added: "The winner is: the table is set with just fruits and hot wine, and you can sift through the dishes and guess what you are doing. No need for a little girl, and each person should only have two coins."

Sun Wukong nodded secretly and said, "What about the third one?"

"It's not convenient to talk about the third thing, for fear of smearing a few people."

The woman replied.

"Let's talk, let's talk, this is so scary!"

Sun Wukong waved his hand.

The woman said: "The following is the case: there is no one to wait on you, and there is convenient rice in the pot. It's up to him to eat whatever he wants. When he is full, he will get some straw and make a bed on the ground to sleep in a convenient place. When it is daylight, he will be given a few cents for the meal." , never compete.”

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately clapped his hands, "Good luck, good luck! Lao Zhu's business has arrived! When I look at the pot and eat enough, I will sleep in front of the stove door!"

On top of the cloud, Lu Yin laughed and almost fell off the cloud. This idiot has never disappointed anyone when it comes to falling off the chain.

Sun Wukong glared at Bajie and said: "Brother, tell me what you are talking about! You and I are in the world of rivers and lakes, where we can't make a few taels of silver! Make arrangements for the future."

The woman was overjoyed and hurriedly went to make arrangements. Sun Wukong chased after her and asked the woman to make the meal a vegetarian meal. He also served several pots of vegetarian wine. The master refused to drink it, but the three brothers drank a few sips.

Everything was ready, but Tang Seng became troubled and whispered: "How can I sleep tonight?"

Sun Wukong turned around and said, "Sleep upstairs!"

Tang Seng shook his head and said: "It's not stable. We have all worked hard. If we fall asleep, someone comes to clean up the house. When they see us, they roll off their hats, reveal their bald heads, recognize them as monks, and start shouting. What will happen?" "

Zhu Bajie hummed and raised his head, echoing: "Yes! Master is right!"

Sun Wukong couldn't find anything wrong, so he opened the door and looked for the woman again, asking, "Where should we sleep?"

The woman said: "It's good to sleep upstairs. There are no mosquitoes and it's south wind. With the window wide open, it's really good to sleep."

Sun Wukong kept shaking his head, "I can't sleep. My Zhu Sanguan'er is a bit cold and damp, and Sha Siguan'er is a bit windy. As long as Brother Tang sleeps in a dark place, I will be a little embarrassed. This is not a place to sleep."

Lu Yin listened and laughed in the dark. After all, Sun Wukong was a bit unworldly. How did he come up with this reason?

After listening to this, the woman didn't show any panic on her face. As soon as she turned around, she started to moan and groan, which made her daughter feel a little uncomfortable.

"Mother, what's wrong?"

The woman sighed and recounted the actions of Sun Wukong and others. Her daughter also stood there stunned and sighed.

The mother and daughter fell silent for a moment.

Business is difficult these days!
After a few breaths, the daughter suddenly thought: "Mom, my father once made a big cabinet in Japan. The cabinet was four feet wide, seven feet long, and three feet high. Six or seven people could sleep in it. Teach them to sleep in the cabinet. Just go."

Normally, this would have been impossible to say out loud. At the moment, the woman had no idea, so she could only go up and ask.

Unexpectedly, Sun Wukong clapped his hands and cheered: "Okay, okay, exactly this, exactly this!"

The woman wanted to cry but had no tears, so she agreed, and ordered Xiao Er to prepare the cabinet, and let the four master and apprentice come down and live in the cabinet.

The traveler led the master, and the novice monk took the burden, and followed the shadow of the lamp to the cabinet.No matter what happened, Bajie went into the closet first.Sha Seng handed the luggage in and helped Tang Seng in. Sha Seng also went inside.Sun Wukong asked: "Where is my horse?"

A servant nearby said: "The horse is tied up in the back room and eating fodder."

Sun Wukong shouted: "Bring it here. Bring the trough and tie it next to the cabinet."

Then he went in and called: "Mother Zhao, close the lid, put in the lock, lock the lock, and take a look for us. It's transparent there, put some paper on it, and come and open it early tomorrow."

The woman reluctantly agreed and followed the instructions one by one, and they fell asleep until late at night.

Lu Yin trembled all over in the cloud, "Is this an idea that a human can come up with?!"

"Hahahahaha!"

This is not over yet, I am proud of the efforts of the four masters, apprentices and the store owner. At this time, the weather is hot and suffocating. The cabinets are also covered with paper, making it hot and stuffy.

The four of them were unable to sleep.

You can only squeeze me, I squeeze you, take off the hat on your head to fan yourself, the four of them are also extraordinary, and it is not until midnight that they fall asleep.

Sun Wukong was born as a stone monkey, neither cold nor hot, nor sleepy. He just shouted: "Our original horse was 5000 taels, and the former horse was sold for 3000 taels. Now there are 4000 taels in the two groups, and this group of horses is still selling He has 3000 taels, and he gets a profit for every one. That’s enough, that’s enough!”

No one answered at the moment, but a waiter heard it and had evil thoughts in his heart.

The shop usually only has two women, a mother and her daughter, but in recent days it has been the peak business season, so it has attracted a lot of people.

Little did they know that the waiters, the people who lit the fire, and the people who carried the water were all in the same group as the bandits outside the city. How could we not be moved when we heard Sun Wukong say that he would be rich again?We immediately contacted people, and within a moment, more than 20 thieves came to rob the horse dealer with open flames and sticks.He opened the door and came in, which made Widow Zhao and the ladies close the door tremblingly, leaving him to clean up outside.

This group of people entered the store and did not smash or loot. They only looked for the four Tang Monks. They saw no trace of them. They also saw a large cabinet in the middle of the first floor. A white horse was tied next to the cabinet. The lid of the cabinet was locked and could not be overturned. .

The thieves said: "Everyone who travels in rivers and lakes has hands and eyes. Judging from the weight of this cabinet, the luggage and money must be locked inside. We stole the horse, carried the cabinet out of the city, opened it and shared it, isn't it good?"

The thieves picked up the ropes and carried the cabinet away, shaking it.Bajie woke up and said, "Brother, just go to sleep. What are you shaking for?"

The traveler said: "Don't say anything! No one can shake you."

Sanzang and Sha Seng suddenly woke up and asked, "Who is carrying us?"

Sun Wukong snickered and said: "Don't yell, don't yell! Wait for him to carry it! If you carry it to the west, you won't have to walk."

This group of thieves got hold of them, so instead of going west, they moved toward the east of the city, killed the soldiers guarding the gate, opened the city gate, and went out.At that time, the Sixth Street and the Three Cities were alerted. Each of them put on fire armor and men, and reported to the city patrol general and the Dongcheng Army and Horse Division.The general soldiers, soldiers and horses, should do their own thing, so they ordered the archers, horses, and soldiers to go out of the city to drive away the thieves.Seeing the overwhelming force of the officers and soldiers, the thieves did not dare to resist the enemy, so they put down their large cabinets, lost their white horses, and fled each other.The officers and soldiers did not capture half of the robbers, they just took the cabinet, captured the horse, and returned victorious.

Lu Yinyun couldn't help but smile. He really didn't know if it was God's will or if it was just such a coincidence.

The chief soldier saw the horse under the light, a good horse:
The mane is divided into silver threads and the tail is like a jade strip.It is said that the Eight Horses and Dragon Horses have surpassed thousands of levels.Thousands of gold is worth the price of bones, and thousands of miles are chasing the wind.Every time I meet the blue clouds while climbing the mountain, the whistling moon is as smooth as white snow.It's true that the dragon is off the island, and the world is happy to have a jade unicorn.

The chief military officer did not ride his own horse, so he rode on this white horse. He led the soldiers into the city, carried the cabinet to the general palace, and sealed it with the soldiers and horses, and ordered people to patrol and wait until dawn for the decree to be decided.The officers and soldiers have dispersed without mentioning anything.

But it is said that Tang Monk complained to Sun Wukong in the cabinet and said: "This monkey head is trying to kill me! If it were caught by someone outside and given to the King of Dharma Destruction, it would be fine. But now it is locked in the cabinet and is robbed by thieves." , was captured by the army, and tomorrow I met the king, ready to kill him, but I didn’t give him ten thousand?"

The traveler said: "There is someone outside! Open the cabinet and take out the clothes that are either tied or hung. Please be patient and avoid tying and hanging. When I see that faint king tomorrow, I will have my own answer. I won't hurt you at all. . Just rest easy and go to sleep.”

It wasn't until midnight that Sun Wukong said: "Change!"

He transformed into a small insect, slipped through the gap, and flew into the air.

Lu Yin could see clearly that the insect was flying towards him, landed on the clouds, and changed into the appearance of Monkey King again.

"Huh? Monkey, what are you doing here?"

Lu Yin asked, he is still waiting to see Sun Wukong destroy France!

Sun Wukong grinned, "Hey, it's a good thing to find you."

Sun Wukong leaned closer and whispered, and Lu Yin nodded frequently.

"That's alright, I'll just make some noise with you, let's go!"

The two of them looked at each other, one threw monkey hair, the other threw soybeans, and thousands of sleepy bugs were transformed. Every king and noble of France was killed, one by one person, and countless little monkeys held razors and shaved everyone.

Only Sun Wukong dared to do such a bold thing. If he were an ordinary monk, he would have been killed by the backlash of luck. However, Sun Wukong and Lu Yin are both indestructible. The so-called benefits of not being affected by cause and effect are reflected here. .

It was getting slightly brighter, and the two of them had just finished such a big operation.

Sun Wukong spent a lot of money, forcibly tonsuring a country that originally did not believe in Buddhism, and Sun Wukong personally tonsured it. It should not be difficult not to say that he became an immortal immediately and lived a lifetime without disaster or illness.

After passing each level, Lu Yin did have some feelings.

After the matter was done, the two looked at each other and returned to their posts.

"Giggle!"

With a cry, the red sun jumped out of the sea of ​​clouds, and a new day arrived.

In the inner courtyard of the palace, the colorful girls in the palace got up before dawn to wash themselves, and all of them had no hair.The eunuchs who passed through the palace also lost their hair.They all came together and went outside the palace. They were frightened to sleep by playing music. Everyone was in tears and did not dare to spread rumors.

After a while, the Queen of the Third Palace woke up and had no hair.She hurriedly moved the lamp under the dragon bed and looked at it. Under the brocade quilt, a monk was sleeping. The queen couldn't help but speak out and woke up the king.

The king opened his eyes anxiously and saw the queen's head was bald. He quickly got up and said, "Zitong, why are you waiting like this?"

The queen said: "The same is true, my lord."

The emperor touched his head, causing the three corpses to groan and the seven souls to fly into the air, and said, "Why am I here?"

When I was in a hurry, I saw the concubines of the Sixth Courtyard, the colorful ladies in the palace, and the eunuchs, all with bare heads, kneeling down and saying, "My lord, we have become monks!"

When the king saw it, he said with tears in his eyes: "I think a few people killed the monk."

That is to say, a decree was passed and ordered: "You are not allowed to tell the story of your loss of hair, for fear that the civil and military officials will praise or criticize the country for being unjust. And all of you will go to the palace to set up court."

But he said that all the officials from the five government offices and six ministries, as well as the Yamen, big and small, would go to pay homage to the king before dawn.It turned out that all of them lost their hair in the middle of the night.Everyone wrote a note to report this matter.Just listen to that: The three-ring sound of the whip is directed toward the emperor, indicating the reason for shaving his hair today.

Everyone has lost their hair, except for the envoy from the Western Chu Kingdom and others. They slept in the hotel for one night and nothing happened. Why do everyone look like this?
I wanted to laugh but couldn't, so I could only hide it in my heart.

Above the court hall, all the civil and military officials were crying together. Look at me, I look at you, and the crying became even louder.

The king held on to his hairless appearance, got down from the dragon bed and said to the ministers, "I really don't know why. All the people in my palace lost their hair in one night."

The monarchs and ministers all shed tears and said: "From now on, I will never dare to kill the monk again."

The king sighed, sat down on the dragon chair again, and asked, "Start playing if there is something to do, and leave the court if there is nothing to do."

Then the commander-in-chief who killed the thieves yesterday came forward and reported: "I was patrolling the city under the imperial decree. I came at night and got a chest of stolen goods and a white horse. I don't dare to be expert, so I asked the order to make a decision."

A windfall came from heaven, and the general's troops performed meritorious service. The king was overjoyed and said: "Get the cabinet quickly!"

The two ministers immediately retreated to the yamen, ordered the sergeants in order, and carried out the cabinet.Sanzang was inside and said in a state of disbelief: "Disciples, how do you reason when you come before the king?"

The traveler smiled and said, "Don't yell! I've already taken care of everything. When he opened the cabinet, he worshiped us as his teachers. Just teach Bajie not to compete with each other."

Bajie said: "But avoiding killing is an immeasurable blessing. How dare you compete!"

After speaking, carry it to the outside, enter the Wufeng Tower, and put it under the Dan Chi.

"boom!"

There was a loud noise, and Zhu Bajie rolled out. His ferocious appearance frightened the attendants beside him and left him speechless.

Sun Wukong helped Tang Monk out, and Sha Monk also walked out with a bow.

Zhu Bajie shook his body, looked at the commander, and shouted: "Hey! That horse belongs to us!"

There was a thunderous sound, which frightened the commander in chief and backed away again and again, Zhu Bajie led the white horse, and then stood still in front of the hall.
