Journey to the West: The beginning is a million-year cultivation base

Not long after, a big river blocked the way!

Tang Sanzang reined in his horse and said in shock: "Apprentices, what kind of river is this? Why can't you see the end at a glance?"

Zhu Bajie: "Master, how do we answer your question? We are all here for the first time, how do we know what kind of river it is?"

Tang Sanzang: "Then how deep and wide is this river?"

Zhu Bajie: "This one is not difficult. My old pig will test it and you will know how deep it is."

Monk Sha: "Second senior brother, do you want to jump down to measure the depth?"

Zhu Bajie: "Don't be so troublesome. I drop a pebble. If the stone sinks straight to the bottom, it is deep. If it splashes with water bubbles, it is shallow."

Tang Sanzang: "Okay, Bajie, give it a try."

Zhu Bajie picked up a palm-sized pebble from the bank and threw it into the river.

Only a plop was heard, and the pebble sank.

Zhu Bajie was startled and said: "Master, this river cannot be crossed, the water is too deep!"

Tang Sanzang: "You idiot, you can't get through the depth of the water? I don't know how wide it is!"

Zhu Bajie: "Can't you see how wide it is? You can't even see it on the other side, it's endless, so why ask?"

Tang Sanzang looked across the river, but he couldn't see anything, only the river was surging forever.

Monk Sha jumped into the air, but he couldn't see how wide the opposite bank was.

Wishing to point his finger not far away, he said, "Look, there is a stone tablet there. Let's go and have a look, maybe there is a record on it."

Zhu Bajie: "Brother Monkey, you're joking again. It can't be such a coincidence!"

Make a wish: "Is it such a coincidence, just go and see. Or, let's make another bet?"

Zhu Bajie quickly waved his hand: "Don't gamble, don't gamble, my old pig quit gambling!"

A few people walked over to take a look, and the stele really recorded the situation of the river.

Zhu Bajie wiped the cold sweat from his brow. Fortunately, he didn't have the urge to bet with him this time, otherwise he would lose again.

I saw that there were three big characters "Tongtianhe" written on the stone tablet.

There is also a line of small characters below it, which reads "Across eight hundred miles, few people have traveled since ancient times".

Make a wish: "Bajie, have you seen it? Isn't this clearly recorded? This river is called Tongtian River, and it is [-] miles wide!"

Tang Sanzang: "Bajie, learn more from Wukong, and you can easily know the width of the river."

Zhu Bajie: "..."

After boasting and making a wish, Tang Sanzang became melancholy again.

"Apprentices, this river is so wide, how can we cross it?"

Suddenly, the sound of drums and gongs was heard not far away.

Wishing to know that it was a nearby fisherman, he said: "Listen, there are people doing Buddhist work not far away. Why don't we go and spend the night and go tomorrow."

Zhu Bajie wanted to rest a long time ago, so he immediately replied: "Brother Hou is right, let's find a place to rest first, and find a way to cross the river tomorrow when we are full."

Tang Sanzang looked back at the Tongtian River, which was endless. Obviously, he couldn't get through it for a while, so he had to obey: "That's fine. Let's go, let's go in search of the sound and see which one is doing Buddhist work."

The master and apprentice followed the sound and walked over.

Not long after, we came to a family.

Tang Sanzang said: "Apprentices, you are waiting here. I will ask the head of the household first, and you will go in together after agreeing to spend the night."

Tang Sanzang leaned on his tin stick and walked to the door.

Seeing that the door was ajar, Tang Sanzang looked inside and saw an old man walking out.

Tang Sanzang was so panicked that he put his palms together on his chest and said, "Old benefactor, the poor monk asked me."

The old man said: "Elder, why are you here now? It's too late!"

Tang Sanzang: "Are you late? What should I say?"

The old man: "If you had come earlier, there would be a vegetarian meal with you, three liters of cooked rice, a piece of white cloth, and ten copper coins. I only came now, and there are no more."

Tang Sanzang: "Old benefactor, the poor monk didn't come to catch up with the fast."

The old man: "Since you didn't come to catch the fast, what are you doing here?"

Tang Sanzang: "Old benefactor, I am a monk who was sent by the Eastern Tang Dynasty to the west to learn scriptures. I just arrived at your place, it was already late, and I heard the sound of drums and cymbals in your house. I wanted to ask for a night, and I left at dawn. "

The old man said angrily: "You monk, you look so gentle, how can you lie to me?"

Tang Sanzang: "????"

Tang Sanzang was stunned, what's going on?

How did I cheat? !

Chapter 545 Preliminary Training of the Dead

Tang Sanzang was puzzled, and asked: "Old benefactor, every sentence of the poor monk is true, why did he deceive people?"

The old man said: "You monk, you are not ashamed to talk big?! How far is it from Dongtu Datang to me? At least it will take several years! How can you get here all alone? You are not ordinary. I'm afraid I'll be eaten by wolves, tigers and leopards. Aren't you clearly deceiving people?!"

Tang Sanzang suddenly realized, and said: "Oh, old benefactor. The poor monk has three apprentices, not just one person! They are all very capable and can subdue dragons and tigers, so the poor monk is safe and sound."

The old man said: "Is this really true?"

Tang Sanzang: "every sentence is true."

The old man was overjoyed and said: "Then invite them in together!"

Tang Sanzang: "Apprentices, come here!"

They made a wish and walked over.

When the old man saw it, he backed away in fright.

"Monster! Monster!"

Tang Sanzang: "????"
