Chapter 6 6. Why is Tang Monk meat so delicious?

Monkey King came down from Baihu Ridge, and immediately saw the Drifting Monk rolling on the ground laughing. "what happened to you?" "Hehehaha...the golden monkey...hehehaha..." Drifting pointed at Monkey King and laughed violently. "Crazy!" Wukong walked down and saw Bajie and Tang Seng. "Huh? The monkey is here." "What happened to Monk Sha?" "Golden ecstasy!" Bajie said. "Alas!" Tang Seng sighed, "It seems that my horse will be given to him again." "Then it's hard work for you." Bajie put the burden on Tang Seng's shoulders.

Tang Seng followed behind carrying the burden, Drifting Monk rolled happily on his horse's back, Bajie led the horse and walked in front, and Sun Xingzhe followed beside him. The pig asked the monkey: "What about her?" The monkey said, "Sent back to the cave." "Didn't she give you anything?" "What?" The monkey looked at the pig in surprise. "Oh, nothing." The pig didn't say anything, and the monkey didn't ask any more. The four of them walked west together. The moon is really beautiful. The silver glow is hazy, the crescent moon is like a hook; the colorful auspicious clouds are like brocade and embroidery.

The moon halo gradually dissipated, and Bajie fell asleep quietly. When he opened his eyes again, the monkey, monk and sand monk were gone. "Huh? Where's the person?" "Brother Pig!" Bajie called out behind him. Bajie looked back, there was nothing but luggage and a white dragon horse. "Did you miss me?" Bajie asked confusedly. "No! It's me, little white dragon." The horse spoke. "Oh, it's you! I forgot, you are also a little god. Huh? Why are you all soaked? Where are they?" "When you were sleeping in the morning, we arrived at Wanzi Mountain. The monkey was called back to Huaguo Mountain by a decree from the sky. Then at lunch time, a gust of wind blew away the monk. Brother Sha went to the mountain to find a man named The place of 'Boyue Cave', but he was caught, I followed the old monster to Baoxiang Kingdom thirty miles away, the monk was turned into a tiger, I changed to save him, but I also lost, I had to drill Hiding in the water for a while, I finally hoped that you would wake up."

"So what if I wake up?" "You can save them!" "Oh! Why did the monkey run away?" "A decree fell from the sky, inscribed with the handprint of a blood monkey. It probably means that Huaguo Mountain was destroyed by someone, and asked the Great Sage Equaling Heaven to return to the cave to make decisions." "How did this happen?" Bajie sighed, and said, "Oh! It's really hard to be the protagonist! What a damn turkey, what are you writing about!" ——Turkey said with shame: "Oh, pay attention next time, I must write "The Legend of Quicksand" or "The Legend of Dragon Horse". Haha..."

Wanzi Mountain Wave Moon Cave. The yellow-robed old monster stood on the top of the mountain holding a steel knife, and the mountain was full of goblins. "Marshal Tianpeng, it's been a long time." Huang Pao cupped his hands. "Aren't you a monster in the mortal world?" Bajie asked while leaning on the palladium. "I am one of the twenty-eight mansions in the upper realm—Kui Mulang!" "Oh? How did you come here to be a demon?" "This... I will tell you later!" "Whatever! Give Monk Tang to me!" "He is now in Baoxiang Kingdom, and I turned him into a fierce tiger."

"Why didn't you kill him?" "There is no order from above... Huh? How could you say such a thing?" "Isn't your purpose just to kill him?" "Whether he dies or not has nothing to do with me." Bajie thought for a while, then smiled and said: "Oh, I understand, you were entrusted by someone to catch Monk Tang, and you must have some reason to be caught by someone, don't you?" Not to mention it, but when it was mentioned, Huangpao became angry, "I forgive you because you are the marshal of the canopy so you won't be arrested, but you are deceiving me instead?!"

With an order, the group of demons rushed forward, and Ba Jie held the palladium in his hand calmly. The Bailai little demon gathered at Bajie, Bajie had one palladium on the left and one palladium on the right, resisting with all his strength, but after all, "a single thread is not threaded, and one hand cannot sing alone". After persevering for a long time, Bajie finally chose to "keep the green hills, and don't worry about running out of firewood". "Brother Pig, go to Huaguo Mountain and ask Brother Monkey to come back!" "What is it called?!" Bajie yelled, "Why do you want to protect Tang Seng? Give me a reason?"

"I……" "Can't you tell? Go back to your Xihai to be the prince! I'll go back to my Gao Laozhuang!" "But why not save him?" "Why do you want to save?" "He is similar to our experience, isn't he?" Xiao Bailong said. Bajie was stunned for a moment, "But...he doesn't know anything." "Just because he doesn't know anything, that's why he has to be saved! He's so pitiful." "Okay, okay! You dead horse!" Bajie suddenly yelled impatiently, "He was caught, locked up, and he didn't have to worry about three meals a day? I still have to fight to the death for him. Is he pitiful or am I pitiful?"

Bajie looked up to the sky and shouted: "Who is more pitiful than me?!" Huaguoshan Water Curtain Cave. A gust of wind swept into the cave, and Monkey King's "hehe" laughter was mixed in the wind. The monkey and the pig sat down in the hole. "Pig head, is my Water Curtain Cave fun?" "Okay, okay, I've played it, it's time to go, the monk may have been skinned!" "Haha! Is it okay to peel the skin? Come on, do it!" The monkey drank it down. "Okay! Don't make trouble anymore, go save the monk!" "Why do you want to save?"

"..." "All the demons expect me to come back to be the demon king. Now I'm back, but what did I see? What did you see? It's just a pile of scorched earth!" The monkey drank another glass. "what happened?" "The children said that it was Erlang God who sent people to burn my Huaguo Mountain. I went to find that kid to settle the score, but the kid was stubborn and refused to tell. Give me the word 'Xi'." Another cup went down. "'Xi'? Could it be..." "Journey to the West has nothing to do with me, I just want to be my demon king, I don't care about anything else, I just want to rebuild Huaguo Mountain!"

"Oh, by the way, I have something to show you, monkey." Bajie took out a handful of things from his coat and put it in the monkey's hand. The monkey looked into the palm—it turned out to be three hairs. "Where did you get this?" recall. Bajie rides a cloud to Huaguo Mountain. Suddenly there was a golden light passing below him, he stopped and arrived at Baihuling Bone Cave. "Isn't this Bai Jingjing's cave?" He walked in. There are strange rocks in the cave, and it is empty. A pair of pink skeletons lay paralyzed on the rocks in the cave. Bajie stepped forward, "Are you taking a lunch break?" no response. He squatted down in surprise, only to find that Bai Jingjing was dead. Suspicious, he suddenly discovered something again, stretched out his hand, and snapped Bone's right hand apart. —It turned out to be three vellus hairs. "Oh! How could it be like this?" Bajie put them away. "Don't worry, I will hand them over to your loved one." Ba Jie said, and walked towards the entrance of the cave. "Why didn't you tell the monkey back then? Hehe, why didn't the monkey talk to Zixia back then? Ha! Why did I..." "Ha ha!" The monkey held its vellus and lowered its head. "Why do you want to travel to the west? Why do you want to protect monks?" "He is the same as us, and he is more pitiful than us." "He doesn't know anything, and I want to be like him, but I can't, I can't forget, I suffer from mental torture every day! Poor me? Poor him?!" "Want to know the answer? There is only one person to ask." Bajie said. Baoxiang Guoyin'an Palace. "Brother Kui, it's been a long time." A gust of wind blew into the hall, and three people stood in the wind. "It turned out to be two boys, be polite." "Mulang!" A woman's voice came from behind the two boys. "Hundred flowers!" Kui Mulang was both surprised and delighted. Bai Hua rushed down shamelessly, and hugged Kui Mulang: "I'm so scared, I miss you so much." Kui Mulang put his arms around Bai Huashu, and said with infinite tenderness: "Everything is over, and you have returned to my side. As long as I am here, you will no longer be in danger." "Yes, you will no longer be in danger." Bai Huaxuan said suddenly and gloomyly. "What's the meaning?" Before Kui Mulang could react, a sharp dagger pierced into his chest. "Uh... you... Baihua..." Kui Mulang couldn't believe it until his death. "Kui Mulang, don't blame us, we are only following orders. The blame is only on yourself and the Fairy Serving Fragrance for thinking of going down to the lower realm. Heavenly sin is inevitable!" "What are you doing now?" asked a boy. "It's time to deal with that monk." The other boy waved his hand, and the Baihuashu in front of him suddenly revealed its original shape—it turned out to be just a puddle of muddy water. "Golden horn, silver horn, wait a minute." A golden light shot in, and auspicious clouds circled the golden lotus. "It turned out to be the two Venerables, sorry." "Leave the matter of Jin Chanzi to us. Your task has been completed." Jinjiao and Yinjiao looked at each other, dared not say anything, and went away in a gust of wind. Behind Mount Putuo, the purple bamboo forest in Luojia Mountain. "Old gentleman, why are you so free to visit?" Guanyin asked. "Bodhisattva, I have recently developed a variety called 'Wuji Xuefeng Pill', which has special effects on beautifying the skin and prolonging life. I will give you two pills to Bodhisattva." Taishang Laojun held a plate with both hands. "Oh, I'm so sorry that Mr. Lao personally delivers it every time. It's just... oh! He's losing weight recently!" "Oh? Really? Then I'll develop some pills for weight loss next time." "Old gentleman, you are not only here to deliver pills, are you?" "Actually... I still want to ask Bodhisattva something about Journey to the West..." "Bodhisattva, a guest has arrived!" The Great God of the Mountain Guard roared. "Huh! Just in time." Guanyin breathed a sigh of relief. "Lao Jun, excuse me for a while." Before the Supreme Master could reply, she jumped out of Putuo Rock. "Black bear monster, it's the right time to call." Guanyin praised. "No Bodhisattva, there are indeed guests here." "Oh? Who?" "Monkey King and Marshal Canopy." "Ok?" In the purple bamboo forest, Guanyin sat on the lotus platform, combing her hair hastily.Monkeys and pigs come in. "Bodhisattva." Bajie bowed. "Sun Wukong, why don't you worship me when you see me?" Guanyin said. "..." Avalokitesvara suddenly caught sight of Sun Wukong's disdainful expression: "Cough! Forget it!" "If you don't protect Tang Seng, what are you doing here?" "Ask you for an explanation." "How do you say it?" "Why should the monk be protected?" "This is your merit. When it is complete, you can be listed in the immortal class again." "Is this what Tathagata means?" Guanyin was taken aback: "Why do you ask that?" "Successful merits and virtues, can you really be listed in the immortal class again?" Wukong continued to ask. "Bodhisattva," Bajie said, "why are there so many monsters along the way?" "Tang Seng is the original body of ten generations of practice. If monsters eat a piece of his meat, they will live forever. If they get his true energy, they can cultivate and become immortals." "It seems that monsters are not only for this purpose?!" Guanyin was taken aback again: "Who? Who taught you to ask these questions?" Bajie sighed, "Oh! Bodhisattvas still don't know how to lie." Avalokitesvara sat quietly and said in a moment, "Understood, it must be Junior Brother Wuchao." "Then you can tell us?" Wukong said. "Yes." Guanyin sighed, "I really can't hide it anymore."
