On the way to learn the scriptures, I had a basic relationship with my love rival.

Qi Yue always kept in mind Monkey King's promise: to catch a monster to replace himself.

Sun Wukong didn't dare to forget his promise, otherwise he would be entangled in a lot of karma.

Tang Seng also hopes to change to a mount that works harder, instead of the current white horse that is listless and screams tired after a few steps.

With this in mind, they moved forward.After meeting the weasel spirit, after a lot of hard work and hard work—Tang Seng was in charge of being caught, Monkey King was in charge of fighting, Zhu Bajie was in charge of laziness, Sand Monk was in charge of making soy sauce, and Qi Yue was in charge of watching the excitement, and finally failed.

Monkey King had no choice but to go to the South China Sea to ask Guanyin to accept the weasel spirit.

Of course weasels can't be used as mounts, and a few of them went to the West Paradise instead of the gas chambers.So Qiyue watched Tang Seng being arrested and rescued the whole time, and then continued to carry Tang Seng on the road with regret.

Later, they meet a lioness.The lioness has supernatural powers, and a gust of evil wind swept Tang Seng away. They continued to work together and fought hard, but finally failed again.

Monkey King had no choice but to ask rescuers to take the lion away.

Qi Yue felt that although riding a lion was a bit weird, it was not impossible.However, this lion is a female. Tang Seng adheres to the principle of intimacy between men and women, and firmly disagrees with any further contact with the opposite sex.

Qi Yue had no choice but to carry Tang Seng on his back and move on.

They also met pheasant spirits, rabbit spirits, and fish spirits... In short, none of them are suitable for mounts.Qi Yue was getting more and more tired, could it be that he couldn't find a monster to replace him all the way to the west?

In this way, it has been going for more than two months.

They climbed over mountains, crossed rivers, and set foot on a road after passing through a long desert of yellow sand.

After walking for a few days, the bushes beside the road became thicker and thicker. Gradually, they saw a big river.

The road and the river meander forward together, and there are more and more merchants, horse teams, and camel teams on the road.

Before sunset they saw a splendid city looming ahead.The city wall is tall, and there is a long line of people waiting to enter the city at the gate.

Monkey King asked the people in front, "Which city is this?"

"This is the country of Ji Sai, and this is the capital of the country - Ji Sai City."

"This is Jisai City." Tang Seng looked at the city and said.

"Master has heard of this place?" Sun Wukong asked.

"I heard that Jisai City is located on an important commercial road, and its trade is prosperous. It is a big city in the Western Regions." Tang Seng said.

The four of them entered the city at once.

The streets in the city are straight and neat, and the black stone slabs are trampled by chaotic horseshoes.Pedestrians on the road are in a hurry, and they are not surprised by the monk and the white horse.

From the city gate to the city, there are row upon row of teahouses and shops on both sides of the street, and there are many small vendors walking around selling and shouting.There were crowds of people, horse dealers in the north, spice merchants in India, and even food merchants in white robes, trading goods in the shops on the street with various dialects.

Qi Yue carried Tang Seng on his back and walked along the street.

The straight avenue stretches all the way to the palace in the distance. Sun Wukong stopped a passerby and asked, "Where is the temple here?"

"Temple?" The pedestrian pointed in a direction, "That's over there."

Qi Yue followed the pointed direction and walked up a quieter alley, but there were still pedestrians on the street.

The farther you go, the fewer pedestrians, until you turn around the end of the alley and come to the gate of a temple.

The walls of the temple are covered with dense creepers, which fluctuate with the breeze.

"It's really a good place to get quiet amidst the hustle and bustle." Tang Seng got off his horse and praised.

There is a golden plaque at the entrance of the temple, on which are written the five characters of "Decree to build Jinguang Temple".The gold leaf on the plaque has fallen off, revealing deep and shallow wood grains, but it can still be seen that this place was also a splendid temple.

Monkey King went to knock on the door.After a while, a middle-aged monk came out.

Tang Seng stepped forward and said: "The poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures. Now he passes by Baocha and wants to stay overnight. These are my three apprentices."

"Eminent monk, please." The middle-aged monk bowed politely and invited the four of them into the temple.

Walk through the gate of the temple and pass through a long tree-lined road with dense ancient cypresses on both sides.When I came to the main hall, there were several simple Buddha statues enshrined in it.There is an aura of compassion in the brows and eyes of the Buddha, and the corners of the clothes are exquisitely carved, but the paint patches of various colors on the statue are mottled, as if wearing a tattered patched clothes on the Buddha.

Qi Yue didn't enter the hall, but lay in the shade of a tree outside the hall, watching the four Tang monks offering incense and worshiping Buddha.After that, Tang Seng and others entered the backyard, and a monk came to take Qi Yue away.

Even monks are difficult to raise in Jinguang Temple, so how can there be a special stable for raising horses.The monk casually tied the white horse under a tree, brought some fodder and water, put it in front of Qi Yue, and left.

Seeing no one around, Qi Yue transformed into a human form, performed an invisibility technique, hid his figure, and walked towards the backyard.

He came outside Tang Seng's room, where the four masters and apprentices were having a vegetarian meal.Sun Wukong raised his head and narrowed his eyes towards the outside of the room.

"What's wrong?" Tang Seng asked.

"The sun dazzled his eyes." Sun Wukong said, showing a half-smile expression.

Qi Yue stood on tiptoe and tiptoed into the house.He stood beside Zhu Bajie, stretched out two fingers, and gently picked up a steamed bun from the plate.

Tang Seng lowered his eyes while eating, while Zhu Bajie just lowered his head to eat, without seeing the steamed buns hanging in mid-air.Drifting saw it, but turned a blind eye.

"Master, this plate of steamed buns is too small, not enough for the old pig to eat alone. Let's ask the monk for more." Zhu Bajie finally found that the steamed buns were getting less and less.

"Eat less." Tang Seng said.

"I don't want to eat it in vain, leave some incense money for them, the old pig still has money for a few steamed buns." Bajie said, and shouted to a little novice outside the door, "Bring some more food."

The little novice went to the kitchen and brought another bowl of steamed buns, but when he was about to go out, he was stopped by Tang Seng.

"Why is your magnificent temple so poor?" Tang Seng asked.

The little novice sighed: "In our Jinguang Temple, there used to be a Buddhist relic, which was regarded as a national treasure of the country of Jisai. Because of this relic, the country of Jisai was prosperous, the people were rich and the country was rich, and the emperor came to Jinguang Temple every year. worship.

"Three years ago, the old king passed away and the new king succeeded. One day, the relic was stolen by a monster. Since then, the national strength of Jisai country has been deteriorating, and the people have no means of living. The king was very angry and transferred his anger to Jinguang Temple, and the temple has been in depression ever since. come down."

Tang Seng was also very angry: "What kind of monster is so bold that you dare to steal the Buddha's relic?"

"It seems to be the nearby Bibotan, a monster called Hydra." The little novice said.

Qi Yue was taken aback, the steamed bun in his hand fell on the table and hit Zhu Bajie's bowl.The dishes "bang" twice and fell into several petals on the ground.

"Bajie!" Tang Seng looked at Bajie, he was in a bad mood and his tone was very severe.

Zhu Bajie shook his hands full of steamed buns helplessly, and shouted anxiously and aggrievedly: "It's not me, I didn't..."

"You still dare to quibble!" Tang Seng interrupted him sharply, "If you hadn't been eating rudely, how could the good dishes fall on the ground for no reason."
