[Journey to the West] The poor monk is a fake monk

The young man smiled, with spring in his eyes, "Could it be that Master is a..."

In the middle of his words, a fluffy head suddenly emerged from Chen Tangtang's neckline, and that little thing was staring at him with a pair of red eyes.

The boy froze, for some reason he saw warning and ferocity in the rabbit's eyes.

However, a pair of soft white hands held down the rabbit's head in the next moment, and stuffed it back into the chest, leaving only two ears trembling on the chest.

The boy blushed and said hastily, "I'm sorry, sorry, I thought... thought..."

The more he explained, the more flustered he became, and his face became more and more red.

Chen Tangtang said gently: "The benefactor doesn't need to explain, this little thing was saved by a poor monk just now."

The young man was taken aback for a moment, and then thought of the action of the elder brother and the second brother, "It turned out to be because of it."

The boy showed a bright smile, and whipped a whip casually, "Drive!"

□□The steed neighed, leading the two of them towards the distance.

On the horse, the young man explained everything to Chen Tangtang. It turned out that the lord of Yuhua County was the clan of Emperor Tianzhu, who was named Yuhua King. This Yuhua King was the father of the three young men.

The young man jumped off the steed briskly, stretched out his arms to Chen Tangtang who was still on the horseback, and said innocently: "Master, let me carry you down."

Chen Tangtang didn't move.

The young man smiled and said: "Don't worry, my father has always respected the Buddha and Taoism, and he won't blame me for helping you."

Chen Tangtang leaped lightly, and fell lightly like a lotus flower.

The young man lost his mind for a moment, and then he said heartily: "Master is so beautiful, even getting off the horse looks like a painting."

Chen Tangtang held the white rabbit in his arms, and gently touched the soft fur.

The young man looked at the cold and beautiful monk and the white rabbit in her hand, and suddenly said, "Master, you are the sky..."

Chen Tangtang heard the reputation and looked over.

With secret joy and excitement on the brows of the young man, "...it must be Chang'e descending to earth!"

Chen Tangtang was surprised: "Why do you think so? Could it be that you think Chang'e is bald?"

She suddenly thought of the Chang'e in the sky who was so addicted to her beauty that people must praise him.

The third prince smashed his mouth, and said in a daze: "That's not good. Don't you see that rabbit is a homonym for bald man. It is said that there is Chang'e and rabbit in the moon. You must know that many rumors are passed on and then change. Damn, maybe people originally rumored that there was Chang'e in the moon, and that Chang'e was bald? Later, it was rumored that a jade rabbit appeared out of nowhere."

Chen Tangtang: "..."

What you said makes sense. If the poor monk hadn't met Chang'e, he might have believed your nonsense.

"Could it be that you think the poor monk is Chang'e just because the poor monk is holding a rabbit?"

The third prince smiled and said, "I just heard that the beauty holding the rabbit is Chang'e, and the beauty riding the white horse is Tang Seng."

Chen Tangtang said indifferently: "Then today, the poor monk will know to tell the benefactor a wise saying."

She put her arms around the rabbit and said in a gentle voice, "The one who hugs the rabbit is not necessarily Chang'e, and the one who doesn't ride a white horse may not be the Tang monk. Amitabha, the poor monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty."

"Ah?" The third prince who was about to step over the threshold suddenly staggered, tripped over the threshold, and fell in.

He jumped up from the ground, "No, no way!"

Chen Tangtang: "If you say that Tang Seng is a monk who went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures under the order of the King of Tang, then he is a poor monk."

The third prince's eyes widened in disbelief, and the sunlight cast a halo of light in the bottom of his eyes.

"Are you that Tang Monk who is always coveted by monsters?!"

Chen Tangtang touched his nose.

Your words are a little strange.

While the third prince was in astonishment, the eldest prince and the second prince rushed back and heard what the third prince had said.

The eldest prince looked cold, but he was very respectful to Chen Tangtang, "Please let me take Master to the main hall."

Chen Tangtang smiled slightly, "I'm sorry."

The third prince grabbed the sleeves of the second prince's clothes and said excitedly: "Second brother, did you hear that? She said she was a Tang monk, a Tang monk from that mysterious country, and she really had an extraordinary bearing. I thought she was Chang'e!"

The second prince showed helplessness.

Silly brother, can you stop talking?Didn't you see Tang Seng's expression is not very good?Moreover, whether you have bad eyes or a bad brain, you can regard the monk as Chang'e, if Chang'e knows...

The second prince pressed his younger brother's shoulder, and seriously warned: "Third brother, don't talk nonsense, okay?"

The third prince responded readily, and not long after, he asked curiously again: "Didn't you say that she has three apprentices? Where are they?"

Chen Tangtang said that he met an acquaintance on the road before and brought her here, and the disciples were about to catch up.

The considerate second prince immediately ordered someone to invite Zheng Yulang back.

When they were about to enter the main hall, the second prince heard his younger brother muttering in a low voice behind him: "When she was said to be Chang'e just now, the rabbit in her arms seemed to be laughing at me."

The second prince: "The rabbit has a three-petal mouth, why are you laughing at you? You probably misunderstood."

The third prince also felt that he had made a mistake, so he muttered a few words and didn't take it to heart.

As soon as the eldest prince entered the door, he bowed his head respectfully, and said solemnly: "Father, we ran into Tang Monk who was going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures on the street, and we want her to live in the mansion."

"Oh?" The deep voice was like a morning bell, with a touch of tenderness.

Chen Tangtang touched the rabbit's three-petal mouth, but didn't notice that her fingers were caught. She raised her head and looked at the owner of the mansion.

On the seat in the main hall, a man dressed in foreign service slowly put down the book in his hand. His complexion was a healthy wheat color, his cheeks were sharp and angular, his eyes were deep and bottomless, but his eyelashes were as long as those of a cow. In short, this He is a handsome man who is very in line with the aesthetics of aliens.

After the man put down the book, he walked up to Chen Tangtang immediately, and said with a smile: "I have admired the name of the eminent monk for a long time, please take a seat."

"Amitabha."

After several people sat down, King Yuhua asked Chen Tangtang about the things he had experienced all the way. Chen Tangtang said a few things casually, of course he wanted to hide the monster's extraordinary enthusiasm for him.

King Yuhua and his princes praised it again and again.

The third prince couldn't help but said: "You look thin and small, but are you so powerful?"

King Yuhua, the eldest prince and the second prince showed dissatisfaction with him at the same time.

The third prince quickly covered his mouth, then put down his hands, and smiled flatteringly at them.

King Yuhua sighed, and said to Chen Tangtang: "Please don't blame him, eminent monk, my son is too young, if there is any disrespect, it is also my father's fault."

The second prince couldn't help calling softly: "Father!"

Although the eldest prince looked indifferent, he was also very concerned.

The third prince immediately said: "It's all my fault, it's all my fault, I apologize, I apologize."

Chen Tangtang looked at this scene and blinked slightly.

"Why don't you see the princess?" She didn't know why she asked such a question inexplicably.

The hall fell silent for an instant.

Chen Tangtang immediately understood, "Sorry."

King Yuhua smiled and said: "It's okay, the princess has passed away for many years."

Chen Tangtang recited a passage of Buddhist scriptures in a low voice.

I don't know if it's the effect of the Buddhist scriptures or the effect of her recitation. The three of them only felt that the uncomfortable feeling in their hearts gradually dissipated, and their sorrow and pain also faded a lot.

King Yuhua: "Sure enough, he is an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty."

Chen Tangtang: "No, the poor monk is actually not that powerful."

King Yuhua smiled, his eyes were gentle, but he obviously didn't listen to her words.

The eldest prince said earnestly: "Since the master wants to wait for the disciples to come to reconcile, why not stay in our residence for a while longer, we also have some questions about Buddhist scriptures and would like to ask you for advice."

Chen Tangtang nodded, "That poor monk will be bothering you."

Chen Tangtang stayed in the mansion of King Yuhua for the time being. The environment here is very good and the people are nice. Both King Yuhua and the three princes are very pleasant. The only bad thing is——

In the morning, Chen Tangtang was admiring flowers in the garden, and ran into King Yuhua by chance.

King Yuhua showed a helpless smile, "I'm sorry, eminent monk, but I didn't find the Layman Zheng you mentioned."

"Well, maybe he left." Chen Tangtang smiled lightly, "This benefactor always does what he wants, maybe he just forgot the poor monk, thank you benefactor for finding him for the poor monk."

King Yuhua was still staring at her in a daze.

"donor?"

Only then did King Yuhua come to his senses, "Okay, you can live here at ease, do you need anything?"

Chen Tangtang: "No."

King Yuhua stretched out his hand to hold Chen Tangtang's hands holding the Buddhist beads, and said seriously: "If you need anything, you must tell me."

Chen Tangtang's expression became a little colder, but he still smiled.

King Yuhua happily left.

At noon, Chen Tangtang hid under the eaves, watching the birds hanging in the porch in a daze.

Suddenly feeling a bit cold behind her, Chen Tangtang subconsciously turned her head and saw the eldest prince standing behind her, and she didn't know how long she had been standing there.

"May I ask what's the matter with the benefactor?"

The eldest prince said: "I sent people to search the streets and alleys, but I couldn't find the benefactor Zheng you mentioned."

Chen Tangtang's eyelids twitched. From this, it can be seen that some things seem to be out of control.

"Since you can't find it, forget it."

The eldest prince stared into her eyes and said earnestly: "There is nothing in this world that I can give up on. Don't worry, master. I will dig three feet to help you find this person."

Don't, don't...but please don't do this!You dig three feet into the ground, what has become of a poor monk, a disastrous beauty who tricked you into digging the ground and destroying the city?

The eldest prince said "Oh" noncommittally, but it seemed that he hadn't given up the idea of ​​digging three feet.

You said, what is wrong with you as a prince? Why do you think about digging the ground all day long, is it not good to dig the wall?

...Wait, there seems to be a problem with poaching.

The eldest prince looked at the birdcage hanging on the corridor, "What was the master looking at just now? Which bird do you like? May I give it to you?"

"No, no, the poor monk didn't mean that, the poor monk just..."

"Just what?" There was a trace of expectation in the depths of the eldest prince's cold eyes.

Chen Tangtang thought for a while, but still told the truth, "Thinking about these birds is really pitiful."

The eldest prince: "So that's how it is."

As soon as the words fell, he immediately opened all the birdcages one by one, and let all these various birds fly.

Chen Tangtang: "..."

The eldest prince smiled at her, the smile on that cold face was like a spring flower blooming in the ice and snow.

"The master is right, they are very pitiful. If you can get a smile from the master, it is worth it."

Chen Tangtang: "..."

Yes, it's this kind of weird pampering and tenderness, it's so strange!

In the evening, Chen Tang and Tang retook the path he had traveled during the day, looking for the lost Buddhist beads.

When crossing a bridge, I suddenly heard the voice of the second prince.

Chen Tangtang looked at the second prince who was also on the bridge, and said helplessly, "Are you here to tell the poor monk about Layman Zheng?"

"Huh?" The second prince was thoughtful, "Could it be that someone already told you?"
