Journey to the West: Don’t mess with that monster

Ao Bing was still very reliable. After a while, he brought up three fruits. Zhang Qingdi took a look and found that they were mid-grade spiritual fruits.

"Master Qing, is there anything else?" Ao Bing asked.

"I owe you a favor for this." Zhang Qingdi said to Ao Bing.

As Zhang Qingdi's cultivation level improved, he became less and less willing to owe others karma.

"It's not worth it."

"Then this piece of white flour bun will be considered as a thank you gift." Zhang Qingdi really didn't know what to do with this white flour bun.

Not only would it be a waste of food to throw it away, but it would also be a betrayal of the family's kindness.

Just eat it...even if it's just some pickles.

But Zhang Qingdi really didn't want to eat this dry steamed bun.

"Oh!" Ao Bing was stunned for a moment, then he turned into a human and ate the white flour bun bite by bite. It was unknown whether he was sincere or not, but he gave a thumbs up and said, "It is indeed a delicacy!"

The three views of the family of three were shattered.

Zhang Qingdi felt that he should be more tolerant, so he said to Ao Bing, "Well, it's just a test.

Since you have eaten the white flour steamed bun, after this matter is settled, I will take you to see Senior Brother Taiyi and let him help you to straighten out your body.

If it doesn’t work, ask him to strengthen the areas that need strengthening…”

Ao Bing: Master Qing is a strange person.

After receiving this promise, Ao Bing expressed his gratitude profusely and then jumped into the Black Water River.

Emperor Zhang Qing gave them three fruits.

"It's not a good thing. Each of you should eat one now." Zhang Qingdi said to them. "Eat it now. If you keep it, it will be a disaster."

The three of them knelt down and kowtowed. Emperor Zhang Qing shook his head and said, "You don't have to thank me for this. This is cause and effect."

The three of them looked at Zhang Qingdi in confusion.

Zhang Qingdi did not intend to explain. If he let this honest man know that the fish whose head he smashed with a dagger was transformed from a human, he was afraid that it would plant a demon in his heart.

Zhang Qingdi waved his hand, and the remaining seven fish in the water tank jumped into the Black Water River.

Whether they will eventually become food for big fish or linger on depends on fate.

The man thought that Zhang Qingdi had a kind heart. Seeing that the short fish died so tragically, he did not plan to kill other fish and released them directly.

After eating the fruit, the three of them fell into a deep sleep. When they woke up the next day, they found themselves at home.

Later, the couple worked hard and earned a considerable fortune.

Shuiwa studied and practiced martial arts. When he grew up, he established rules for Heishui Town. No child would have his head smashed for no reason anymore.

Tang Seng and his disciples finally arrived at the Black Water River. The monkey only took a quick glance and vaguely saw the evil spirit in the river.

"Master, there might be a monster in this river." The monkey turned and said to Tang Seng.

"Ah! What should we do then?" asked Tang Seng.

Elder Tang has made some progress along the way and no longer cries when he hears about monsters.

"Let Bajie and Junior Brother Sha go and take a look. Bajie used to be the Marshal Tianpeng who was in charge of the Tianhe navy. It should be easy for him to subdue the monster." The monkey said with a smile.

Zhu Bajie is not the type of person who would risk his life just for a few compliments.

"Brother Monkey, stop joking. You are the Monkey King who made a big fuss in heaven, but you still got beaten up by those monsters along the way!" Zhu Bajie said with a smile.

"Idiot, explain it clearly! Which demon defeated me, Sun?" the monkey cursed in dissatisfaction.

"Golden Horn! Silver Horn!" Sha Seng reminded. "What Sun Xingzhe, Sun Xingzhe? He has collected several of them in his gourd!"

The monkey looked at Sha Seng angrily, and the latter quickly changed his words and said, "Big Brother is right!"

"Hmph!" Seeing that he had surrendered, the monkey did not embarrass him.

Monkey is still angry with Niu Qiqiang now. He will definitely give him a good beating next time they meet!
Unable to find trouble with Niu Qiqiang, he took his anger out on Zhu Bajie, and the monkey and the pig had a very lively quarrel.

Tang Seng looked at the Black Water River worriedly, then looked at his three disciples. He was already used to their quarrels.

When they have quarreled enough, they will stop.

Sure enough, after a while, the monkeys and pigs all shut up.

"Bajie, go to the river bank and see if there is a boat that can ferry people across the river. Let's cross the river first." In the end, it was the monkey who made the final decision.

Although Zhu Bajie was somewhat reluctant, he still put down his luggage, picked up his rake and strode towards the shore.

When he reached the shore, he saw several small boats.

Those small boats could barely carry him alone, let alone their master and his four companions with a horse.

In a flash he saw a large ship.

This big ship is more than enough to carry the four masters and apprentices.

But Zhu Bajie changed his mind and realized that along the way, the people within a radius of two or three hundred miles of the Black Water River were very poor, so how could there be such a big ship?

Moreover, the appearance of this big ship is obviously not the style of this place.

Zhu Bajie looked carefully and didn't see any evil spirit.

He wanted to go forward to find out what was going on, but in the end he stopped. It would be better to let the monkey handle this matter.

Then Zhu Bajie showed a silly smile on his face.

"Master! Master! You are blessed by the Bodhisattva. There is a big boat ahead, just right for us four masters and disciples to cross the river."

Upon hearing this, Tang Seng showed joy on his face. Wuneng was indeed good at talking.

The monkey immediately became alert when he heard this. He started to curse, "What nonsense are you talking about, idiot? This road is barren and there is no one who can afford to rent a big boat. I'm afraid it's another demon."

Elder Tang became worried again upon hearing this, and even felt a little angry at the monkey.

"Then go and take a look yourself, Senior Brother. I don't see any evil spirits."

The monkey gave a few instructions and immediately turned around and went to the shore.

When the monkey saw the big ship, he was stunned for a moment and then started laughing.

He walked up to the big ship before he could speak.

Zhang Qingdi, who had become a boatman, spoke first, "The weather is perfect today, you must cross the river!"

The monkey could not see any signs of change, so he was sure of the boatman's identity. "Just about to cross the river!" The monkey played along.

"I will take you across the river."

Tang Seng, who had boarded the ship, still asked cautiously, "Is Wukong okay?"

"Don't worry, Master." The monkey said earnestly.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng also guessed the identity of the boatman.

If I use my real body to help them cross the river, it's not impossible, but it's a bit cheap. If I send them across the river and then let the monkey reveal his identity, that would be more impressive...

Anyway, all the gods like to do this, and Zhang Qingdi has been infected by them. Now he is full of immortality...

When the monkey saw the boat for the first time, he knew that it was Zhang Qingdi who was taking them across the river.

Because this ship is exactly the same as the ship that the people of Baoxiang Kingdom built for Emperor Zhang Qing back then, except that it is much larger.

When the ship was built, the monkey and the little saint were both there.

The little saint treasured the boat very much, and when they left, he gave it to the monkey. The boat sailed smoothly on the river and reached the center of the river in a blink of an eye.

The four masters and apprentices had no intention of talking to the boatman.

After all, Mr. Qing has turned into a boatman, so it’s better not to talk to him if you can.

Tang Seng was worried about the monsters, so he silently recited the Heart Sutra.

At this moment the ship suddenly began to shake.

"There's a demon!" Elder Tang shouted.

The three disciples pretended to protect Tang Seng.

Although the disciples didn't seem nervous, Elder Tang was nervous...

At this time, an evil dragon jumped out of the water.

Bai Ma looked at the three brothers and saw that they had no intention of taking action. He wanted to reveal his true form and give this little loach in the Jindan realm the shock of a real dragon.

Suddenly the monkey grabbed the reins and looked at him with a smile.

The white horse immediately gave up the idea of ​​shocking the loach.

"Roar! Roar!" The evil dragon looked very arrogant.

Tang Seng looked at his three disciples, and none of them had any intention of taking action.

Is this evil dragon so powerful?

Tang Seng: I will hold it in! I won’t cry!

At this moment, the boatman stretched out his hand and pulled the evil dragon onto the boat.

When the evil dragon reached mid-air, it took on the form of a human.

After landing on the deck, the monkey recognized him at a glance.

"You are the third son of the Dragon King of the East Sea, right? What are you doing here?"

“Don’t be surprised, Great Sage. Little Dragon didn’t know you were here.

A few days ago, Xiaolong acted arrogantly and displeased my father, so he banished me to this place.

"When I have nothing to do, I like to scare the boatmen who are crossing the river. But I have never hurt anyone, I hope the Great Sage can see clearly!" Ao Bing said hurriedly.

The white horse looked at the monkey with gratitude. It turned out that the monkey had a background. If he gave the Third Prince of the East China Sea a little shock, the dragon clan would probably remove him from the list in the future.

"Master, what should we do?" The monkey turned and looked at Tang Seng.

"Since he has never killed any mortal, let him go. Don't do this again in the future." Tang Seng said with his hands clasped together.

"Thank you, holy monk!" Ao Bing quickly bowed to Tang Seng.

After paying his respects, Ao Bing jumped into the Black Water River.

At this time, the boat reached the other side. Tang Seng wanted to thank the boatman, but the monkey pulled him off the boat.

Tang Seng didn't understand what was going on, so he followed them off the boat. When he reached the shore, he turned around and saw that the big ship had disappeared without a trace.

"Goku!"

"That was Master Qing helping us cross the river." The monkey said with a smile.

Tang Seng still didn't react.

"We helped Master Qing once last time. Master Qing was grateful and returned the favor, so he ferried us across the Black Water River and helped us resolve a crisis." Monkey explained to Zhang Qingdi.

"Amitabha, so that's how it is." Tang Seng laughed when he heard it.

After Zhang Qingdi sent them across the river, he went to the Dragon Palace on the Black Water River.

When Ao Bing saw Emperor Zhang Qing, he immediately asked attentively, "Master Qing, how was my performance?"

"Not bad." Zhang Qingdi nodded.

Ao Bing looked at Zhang Qingdi with some anticipation. He came here just for this matter.

"Let's go. I'll take you to find Senior Brother Taiyi and let him help you repair your body."

"Thank you, Master Qingdi." Ao Bing said gratefully.

After the monkeys and their companions got ashore, they headed towards Chechi Kingdom.

There is a small town on the road.

Tang Seng and his companions were planning to rest here for a while. A fishmonger in the town saw them, washed his hands, and brought them a pot of vegetarian food.

Tang Seng and his companions didn't mind the fishy smell on him.

After expressing his gratitude, the fishmonger smiled and said, "My nephew met a villain a few days ago and almost died, but he was finally cured by the immortal.

My elder brother told me that from now on, we should offer food to monks and pay respect to the Tao."

Elder Tang thanked them again. The fishmonger wanted to chat with them for a while, but then he heard the shopkeeper call him, "Sun Er, I caught seven fat fish today!
These seven stupid fish gathered together and were caught in my net.

Help me kill them! I will use them to worship the river god."

"I'm here!" Sun Er bowed and left. (End of this chapter)
