Chapter 120 The Sutra Learning Team, Down the Quicksand River

Seeing Sun Houzi leaving in anger, Tang Seng felt uneasy, afraid that he would never return, and wanted to recite the magic spell, but was afraid that if he didn't really leave, wouldn't reciting the magic spell himself make him even more jealous?He knew in his heart that the great cause of learning the scriptures was far away, but Sun Houzi was indispensable.

After waiting like this for an hour, the sky was getting darker, and the monkey grandson still didn't come back. At this time, I was very hungry and thirsty, and I often heard the howling of wolves in the distance in the mountains. Write "Namo Amitabha Buddha" and pray for the blessing of the Buddha!

At this moment, two clouds floated far from the sky, they came to the top of Tang Seng's head in an instant, and suddenly fell down. Tang Seng took a closer look, "Ah!" There are two people in front of him, one is handsome and handsome, which makes people feel good at first glance; but the other has a pig's head, fat head and big ears, and two nostrils are breathing heavily, a typical one. Looks like a pig demon!Let this mortal monk with naked eyes be terrified at the first glance!
Tang Seng pointed at the two of them tremblingly, and said tremblingly, "I don't know who the two benefactors are? What's the matter with finding the poor monk?"

The pig-headed man looked at the handsome young man with a frown, and asked doubtfully, "Third Prince, is this monk really going to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures?" Terrified, there is no demeanor that a good monk should have, and it is far from what the two of them imagined!
The handsome young man also frowned, and then replied: "Yes or no, I'll know when I ask!" Then he took a step forward, bowed his hands to Tang Monk, and asked in a broad voice: "If you dare to ask the eminent monk, is the master of Dongtu?" Is Tang Sanzang Master?"

The Tang monk was still in shock, and tremblingly said: "It's the young monk! I wonder what the two laymen are looking for the young monk?"

The two were overjoyed when they heard the words, and hurriedly bowed to Tang Seng: "Disciple pays homage to master!"

Tang Seng was stunned when he heard this!After a long time, he came back to his senses, and said: "Wait, what's the matter? Why do you call a poor monk to be your master? A poor monk would never dare to be a master!" Just kidding, two people came to worship him as a master out of nowhere, and there was another One might be a man-eating monster, how dare he casually recognize him as an apprentice? !
They were Tianpeng and Ao Lieye, the third prince of Xihai.Tianpeng hurriedly said: "Good teacher, I know! We are entrusting the Great Merciful and Compassionate Avalokiteshvara Bodhisattva to protect Master to go to the west to get the scriptures!"

Ao Lie also nodded and said: "That's right! Please take me in, Master. I am willing to be the foot of Master, and carry Master to the west!"

Tang Monk was overjoyed at first when he heard Tianpeng's words, then he heard Ao Lie's words and asked in confusion: "You are a human body, why did you take me to the west?"

Ao Lie smiled when he heard the words, but didn't answer, he jumped into the sky, his whole body changed, and with a dragon roar, he turned into a bright white BMW in an instant, stepped on the clouds and landed in front of Tang Seng, his front knees bent, Waiting for Tang Seng to mount his horse.

Tang Seng was amazed when he saw this, and then he was overjoyed. He only saw that the horse was majestic and strong, and it must be a rare and rare BMW. It should be able to carry him to the west!
Just when he was about to get on the horse, a loud shout came from far away in the sky: "Wu Na monster, you are so brave, you dare to harm my master and eat my grandson with a stick!" A gigantic stick shining with golden light fell from the sky and hit the canopy who was attentively waiting for Tang Seng to mount his horse.

The canopy was frightened, and hurriedly abandoned Tang Seng, and flew back quickly, but unexpectedly, the stick grew as soon as he saw him, stretched away with him, and was about to hit him on the forehead, with a clang, sparks burst out, The fat pig flew back backwards with the nine-foot rake in its hands, screaming in pain!

Sun Houzi was about to strike again, but Tang Seng shouted: "Wukong, don't hurt his life!"

Sun Houzi paused when he heard the words, walked quickly to Tang Seng, glanced carefully, saw that Tang Seng was fine, heaved a sigh of relief, and said: "Master, this monster wants to harm you, why don't you let my old grandson give you a stick?" Kill him!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the fat pig over there jumped up and shouted: "You plague-stricken Bi Mawen, your grandpa pig is here to apprentice, not to eat people, don't you wrong a good man!"

Sun Houzi was furious when he heard the words, he jumped up, and hit the fat pig with the Ruyi golden cudgel, and said sharply: "How dare you make fun of my old grandson! Eat my old grandson with a stick!" !" It's no wonder that he is angry, anyone who gets exposed in front of others will be like him!What's more, Bi Mawen, who became the Heavenly Court 500 years ago, has always been regarded by Sun Houzi as the most shameful thing in his life!

The fat pig didn't dare to take his iron rod head-on, and hurriedly dodged to the right, and then instantly turned into a wisp of smoke, only to escape Monkey Sun's angry blow.After the stick passed, the plume of smoke gathered again, returning to the appearance of a fat pig, and hurriedly shouted: "Don't hit! Don't hit! Everything is negotiable!"

Sun Houzi sneered: "Is there anything else to discuss? If I don't beat you into minced meat today, I will be in vain of my name as the Great Sage Equaling Heaven!"

After saying that, he was about to fight again, but he saw the fat pig crying to Tang Monk: "Master! Master! You have to save my old pig! My old pig was enshrined in the decree of Avalokiteshvara to protect Master to go to the west to learn scriptures." , if you allow him to beat my old grandson to death, how can you explain to Bodhisattva?!"

Hearing the words, Tang Monk hurriedly called Sun Houzi, and said, "Wukong! You can spare his life! After all, he was called by the Bodhisattva to protect him as a teacher. If you beat him to death, how can he explain to the Bodhisattva as a teacher? Besides, he has never harmed my teacher, I think he is just ugly in appearance, but he is actually a kind person, from now on you will be brothers and sisters, don't kill each other again, and ruin my great event of going west!"

Seeing Tang Seng pleading with him, the fat pig over there hurriedly said: "Exactly! Don't look at my ugly appearance, but I used to be the canopy marshal of the heavens. Now I just made a mistake, so the Jade Emperor demoted me It's just mundane!"

Sun Houzi rolled his eyes when he heard the words, and said with a chuckle: "Who am I? It turns out to be the Marshal of the Canopy of the Heavenly Court! But what mistake did you make, and you were demoted by the Jade Emperor?"

Seeing that Monkey Sun stopped chasing and beating him, the fat pig hurried up the pole and said, "Brother Monkey doesn't know something, it's a long story!" A scene from Guanghan Palace.

Sun Houzi saw that the fat pig was stupefied at this time, he didn't think it was funny, maybe he called him "monkey brother" to comfort him, and he let out a thud, awakening the fat pig who was immersed in memories, He smiled and said, "You are also an idiot! Anyway, it was the Bodhisattva who asked you to protect Master, so you should stay!"

But the fat pig ran up to Sun Houzi with joy at the words, bowed his waist and saluted, "See you senior brother!" He came to Tang Seng again, bowed likewise, and bowed: "Disciple Zhu Wuneng pays homage to Master! "

Tang Seng helped him up, and said repeatedly: "Good! Good! Good!" Then he said: "It turns out that you are called Zhu Wuneng, and it is also fate that you are my Samana with Wukong!"

Zhu Wuneng scratched the back of his head and said with a chuckle: "Master, this disciple was originally the marshal of the canopy in the sky. He was demoted because he violated the rules of heaven. Fortunately, the Bodhisattva gave me this name and let me protect him." Master went to the west!"

Tang Seng suddenly said after hearing the words: "So that's how it is! Since you have become my apprentice, I will give you a name as a teacher. From now on, you will be called Bajie!"

Zhu Wuneng pretended to be happy and said: "It's so good! It's so good!" But he thought in his heart: What eight precepts and nine precepts, my old pig came secretly, how can there be any rules to control me?
So Zhu Bajie and Ao Lie successfully became members of the scripture learning team.

Since Zhu Bajie joined the scripture-seeking team, Tang Seng has found a confidant who is not like Sun Monkey who doesn't care about him at all. He takes good care of him in daily life and is always comforting. Tang Seng has always thanked the merciful and compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva in his heart. Come on, a good disciple!Don't you know that Guanyin, who is always paying attention to them, is smiling wryly at this moment!

On this westbound road, the Tathagata Buddha promised ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, so Avalokitesvara had to run around to set up catastrophes for Tang monks. After going through several hardships with a jade dragon horse, the three masters and apprentices finally arrived today. By a big river.

Seeing the surging river on the opposite side, the sound shook the surrounding fields, the waves were high and the wind was violent, and the birds could not cross, Tang Seng said bitterly, "This river is so wide, how can we get through it?"

Sun Houzi twitched his lips and said, "Master, what's so difficult about it? Just wait for my grandson to take you to fly there."

Unexpectedly, Tang Seng shook his head and said: "Impossible! The Bodhisattva once said that when learning scriptures, you must walk by yourself, and you must not rely on supernatural powers."

Sun Houzi was annoyed: "This doesn't work, and that doesn't work, but what should I do?"

At this moment, there was a loud bang, and a huge fountain shot towards the three of them from the river. Sun Monkey was calm and undisturbed, and a breath of immortal energy spewed out of his mouth, reaching on top of the huge wave, Then set it in mid-air.

With a wave of his sleeve, Zhu Bajie knocked back the water wave and fell into the water.

When the two looked at it, they saw a man with knotted hair standing in the middle of the river, with nine human-shaped skulls hanging around his neck, and holding a demon-subduing weapon.

Sun Houzi shouted sharply: "Hey! Where did you come from, a monster, to block your grandpa grandpa's way?"

The big man laughed loudly and said, "I am the owner of the eight hundred miles of Liusha River! When you come to my Liusha River today, you will enter my stomach and fill my hunger and thirst!"

These words made Tang Seng, who was still in shock, tremble all over!Zhu Bajie hurriedly stepped forward to express his loyalty: "Master, please don't worry, with my old pig here, discipline that guy can't hurt your life!"

After saying that, he held a nine-foot rake, drove the cloud to kill the big man, and shouted proudly: "Monster! Let me show you how powerful your ancestors are!"

He threw a rake at the head of the big man, the force was heavy, the big man was startled, he hurriedly raised his staff to meet him, suddenly a cloud of divine thunder fell from the top of his head, knocking him into the river with a bang.Zhu Bajie also chased after him, but Monkey Sun was the only one protecting Tang Seng on the shore.

When he was under the water, Zhu Bajie wiped his eyes, cast a spell of clairvoyance, searched carefully, and finally found a water mansion ten miles ahead. He knew it was the cave of a monster, and hurriedly swam through the water.

When I came to the gate of the cave, I was about to knock on it, but unexpectedly, a monster's voice came from inside: "Marshal Tianpeng, you were once an official of the Heavenly Court, why did you use rogue tricks to plot against me? You are not kind! "

Zhu Bajie was finally taken aback when he heard the sound!
It's exactly: the quicksand river is as deep as the sea, and it turned out to be an old acquaintance in heaven!
