Chapter 387, Quicksand River
As evening approaches,
The three masters and apprentices were blocked by a river, so they had to stop and looked for a boatman nearby to let them cross the river, but they didn't see the boat after searching around.

It's incredible that there are no boats in such a big river.

At this time, two villagers carrying buckets passed by them, and it happened that their conversation was overheard by the three of them.

"What's the use of this quicksand river? We don't go to fetch water from Lingzhu every day."

"Hey, what can I do? This river floods every day, and now I'm scared even if I go near it."

Simple dialogue, but provides an important message.

Tang Zang looked at the river in front of him,

It turns out that this is the Liusha River. I didn't expect to come here so soon.

Li Jie's thinking is similar to Tang Zang's.

Zhu Bajie: "Master, elder brother, there is water in this river, but the villagers don't use it. Is there something wrong with them?"

Li Jie rolled his eyes at him: "Don't mind your own business, pig head. Our goal is the western sky, not this river, and we don't care about other things."

When Tang Zang heard it, how can this be done?If you ignore it, wouldn't it mean that you lost a tool... Ah no, wouldn't you lose an apprentice?If Li Jie is black, then I will be white.

Thinking of this, Tang Zang said to Zhu Bajie: "Bajie, go and find out."

Zhu Bajie put down his luggage, and deliberately changed his appearance so as not to scare others: "Good master."

A villager happened to pass by, Zhu Bajie stopped the villager, put his palms together, and first recited a Buddha's name: "Amitabha."

The villagers clasped their hands together and bowed back: "Little master, are you going to ask for alms?"

Zhu Bajie smiled and shook his head: "No, I just want to ask the benefactor, is there a boatman here? The monk and his master and brother want to cross the river."

The villagers shook their heads helplessly: "We also want to cross the river, but this river has been cursed, and even feathers can't float up. How can we cross the river?"

After Li Jie heard it, he didn't take it seriously: "Of course ordinary people can't help it. I cross a river, and it's as simple as drinking water."

The villagers didn't take Li Jie's words seriously: "There are too many people who say this, but every time they end up drowning. Little master, you can't speak big words. Now hundreds of villagers have drowned. Little master , I advise you to take a detour."

"By the way, if this river floods and the waves are high, it can easily sweep you away."

Zhu Bajie performed the Buddhist ritual again: "Thank you for letting me know."

The villagers returned the salute, picked up the bucket and left.

Zhu Bajie obviously didn't believe it: "Is it true that everything will sink?"

Li Jie replied: "You will know if you try it."

The three master and apprentice walked to the place by the river,
Li Jie first threw a small stone into the river. As the small stone sank, he pretended to be shocked: "It will really sink."

Zhu Bajie: . . . . .

Tang Zang:. . . . .

This is a fool...

Tang Zang: "Have you ever seen a stone that floats?"

Li Jie buttoned his booger indecently: "Just kidding."

"Try the leaves."

Tang Zang picked up a leaf and threw it into the river.

When the leaves come into contact with the river water, the leaves sink into the water as if filled with lead.

Zhu Bajie: "Wow, the leaves are also sinking."

Li Jie stroked his hair, and picked up a tree trunk from the side: "Won't the tree trunk sink?"

The same is true for tree trunks, which sink when touched by water.

The leaves and trunks will sink,
Tang Zang thought of something, he ran out for a while, and then came back: "The reed shouldn't sink, right?"

So saying, he threw the reed into the river,
The result is still the same, and it sank.

Li Jie really didn't believe that everything would sink: "Won't a handful of reeds sink?"

I don't know where he got a handful of reeds and threw them directly into the river.

Still the same result.

Li Jie: "Hey, it's amazing. I don't know if a shoe will sink."

As he spoke, he threw another shoe into the river and it sank.

Li Jie: "Wow, the shoes are also heavy."

Zhu Bajie: . . . . .

Tang Zang stretched out his foot, pointed at his foot, and said, "Wukong, I can understand you throwing away your shoes, but why did you throw away your teacher's shoes? Isn't it okay to throw your own?"

Zhu Bajie: ......

No wonder the shoe looked familiar just now, it turned out to be Master's shoe.

Li Jie picked his nose and said, "My feet are too smelly. I'm afraid you will suffer if I throw away my shoes."

Tang Zang:. . . . .

Zhu Bajie: . . . . .

After living for so many years, this year is the most speechless.

Tang Zang didn't speak, just stared at Li Jie all the time,
Li Jie got goosebumps when he saw it: "Master, isn't it just one... at worst, go down and pick it up."

Tang Zang: "Then you should go."

"Forehead..."

Li Jie was silent for a while, then turned his gaze to Zhu Bajie,

Zhu Bajie saw that the situation was not good, so he turned his head and wanted to leave.

Unexpectedly, Li Jie grabbed his ear: "Pig head, go down and pick up Master's shoes."

Zhu Bajie: "Why should I pick it up? I didn't throw it away."

Li Jie directly took out the golden cudgel: "Will you go down obediently? Or should I help you go down?"

Zhu Bajie was suffering and couldn't tell, he was wronged a lot, and he didn't dare to say "no", for fear of offending Li Jie and giving him a good beating.He could only smash his teeth and swallow it in his stomach. He had no choice but to swallow it.

"I... I'll go."

Li Jie was very satisfied with Zhu Bajie's answer. He put away the golden cudgel and patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder: "This is the good brother of the senior brother. Go and come back quickly. I like you."

Zhu Bajie unbuttoned his shirt, stood by the river, took a deep breath, and was preparing for diving, who knows...

"Go away!"

Li Jie jumped up and kicked Zhu Bajie flying with one kick.

Before falling into the water, Zhu Bajie said forcefully: "Damn monkey! The old pig hates you!!"

With a splash~~~, it fell into the water.

Zhu Bajie was watching Tianhe's general in Tianting, and Li Jie was not at all worried that he would drown.

Li Jie: "Master, Bajie has gone down to pick up shoes, wait a moment, and he will be able to pick up Master's shoes."

Tang Zang didn't know what to say for a while.

"Master, let's rest here tonight, and we will leave early tomorrow morning."

Tang Zang nodded: "Alright."

Li Jie: "Master, you rest here first, and I'll make a vegetarian meal for you."

"Ah."

underwater...

"Dead monkey, stinky monkey, take advantage of my unpreparedness, come to cheat, come to sneak attack, my old pig, look at his kick, obviously came prepared, dead monkey doesn't talk about martial arts, but he still calls himself the great sage equal to heaven , Pooh, shit Monkey King."

Zhu Bajie rubbed his butt and swam to the bottom of the water cursing.

After a while, he came to the bottom of the water, picked up Tangzang's shoes, tied them around his waist, and was about to go upstream, when he saw an extremely ugly cave and thought to himself,
Nothing floats in this river, there must be monsters at work. Looking at this cave, you can tell that there are monsters living in it.

It's better for me to stay out of my own business and leave the rough work of fighting monsters to that dead monkey.
