I am aging gracefully in the world of famous books

Walking alone on the road for more than half an hour, Wuji heard the call of the Great Sage from the mid-air behind him.

He looked back with a smile, and didn't ask why the Great Sage, who had been clamoring to break up before, came back. He just waved his hand happily, and asked where the Great Sage was as a guest during the time he was away, and asked him if he was there. Eat some really delicious food.

The great sage chuckled, and said that he begged for a cup of tea at the Dragon King of the East China Sea, said a few words, and then came back. He had no time to eat delicacies from mountains and seas.

Hearing this, Wuji sighed regretfully, while complaining affectionately, thinking that the Great Sage could bring him back some rare delicacies in the world, he handed the bag to the Great Sage.

"There are some dry food and dried fruits in here, you can eat some, Dasheng."

The Great Sage took the bundle and opened it, and found that not only the food sealed and wrapped in oiled paper, but also two clothes and hats that he had never seen before.That gorgeous hat inlaid with gold flowers is particularly beautiful, and it immediately caters to the aesthetics of the Monkey King.

"Buddhist monk, is this your hat?"

Wuji turned his head and saw that Sun Dasheng seemed to want to try on the hat, so he stopped him immediately:

"Wait a minute, great sage, those two pieces of clothing were given by the Bodhisattva, saying they were used to restrain disobedient disciples. You and I don't have the status of master and apprentice, so neither the hat nor the clothes can be worn by you. "

The Great Sage came from Linglong Heart, and when he heard Wuji's explanation, his expression changed dramatically. Immediately afterwards, he squinted his golden eyes and sneered a few times, and he really didn't touch the coat and hat.At the same time, he said angrily:

"What a Bodhisattva, on the surface he coaxes my old grandson to protect this scripture learner to go to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven, but in fact he is on all possible precautions, afraid that my grandson will not obey the scripture learner's orders."

Thinking that he was almost being deceived, Sun Dasheng immediately took out his golden cudgel and was about to go to the South China Sea to find Guanyin Bodhisattva for an explanation.However, as soon as the auspicious clouds rose under his feet, he was grabbed by Wuji:

"Wait, Great Sage, don't be impulsive. The bodhisattva made a deal with you and asked you to protect me to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, but you are very capable and have a big temper. Back then, even the heavenly court made trouble. Shouldn't the bodhisattva be more guarded against you?

"It's like a mortal doing business. Both parties must have some evidence as a bond, right? Besides, the Bodhisattva can leave me such a magic weapon, how can I know that she doesn't have more?

"Great Sage, it might be very dangerous for you to argue with her now, so it's better to be confused like this. Anyway, the Bodhisattva also said that the golden hoop is for me to restrain my disobedient disciples, and I didn't name them. Here you are. You are looking for it now, you are definitely throwing yourself into the trap."

The Great Sage was also temporarily angry, and after being pulled back by Wuji, he calmed down a lot.At this time, Wuji's various far-fetched reasons filled his ears again, but he temporarily stopped planning to go to the Bodhisattva to ask for an explanation.

He snorted coldly, took the food in his bag and jumped onto the big tree by the side of the road, ready to eat some sweet and sour dried fruit to soothe his mood.

This is what he heard from that kid Wuji.According to Wuji, whenever he feels depressed, he will eat some sweets, and in that way, his tense mood will soon be relaxed.If you can’t, eat more…

"Hey, Buddhist scripture monk, you are kind enough to not lie to my grandson."

"Amitabha, the poor monk believes in the great sage. Since the great sage has promised to escort the poor monk to the west to learn scriptures, he will not break his promise."

These words made Sun Wukong blink his eyes suddenly. He stared at the nagging monk under the tree who only knew how to run away when something happened, and a few complex feelings that he couldn't explain clearly welled up in his heart.

Uncomfortably, he jumped from one tree to another, and subconsciously wagged his tail. Suddenly, he felt that this pusty monk, who had always made him disliked, actually had some redeeming qualities.At the very least, this person has a very clear heart and knows who is the most reliable.

"Okay, my old grandson is not a person who doesn't know what to do. You first helped me break free from under the Liangjie Mountain, and then refused to partner with Bodhisattva to deceive me. This kind of good intentions, old grandson will keep it in mind.

"From now on, no matter how pustulous you are, how long-winded and soft-hearted you are when things happen, as long as you always believe in Lao Sun, Lao Sun will always protect you to go to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures. Hey, I, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, promise a thousand gold, you can rest assured Bar."

Hearing this, Wuji frowned.

He still knew the Monkey King quite well, so he could tell that at this time, Sun Dasheng had completely accepted the task of escorting the Buddhist scriptures to Lingshan, and he was a little more willing.In the days to come, there will probably never be people who just leave like today.

Thinking of this, Wuji couldn't help but smile proudly when he clearly realized that he had once again conquered Uncle Dasheng with his bright and great personality charm.

After chatting and resting for a while, Wuji and Monkey King continued on their way.After Sun Wukong's impression of the Buddhist monk changed, he found a little blue donkey from somewhere to give Wuji a ride.

This time I went to Xiaoxing and stayed overnight in the wind and dust, and within a day I arrived at the deep, steep and wide Snake Mountain Eagle Sorrow Stream with clear water.

Just when the two of them were about to take a raft to cross to the opposite bank, a jade dragon came over the waves, and then suddenly rushed out of the water, opening its mouth to swallow the little donkey that the Great Sage gave Wuji.

In the blink of an eye, in order to save the donkey, Wuji stopped hiding his strength. He immediately gave a cold drink, and the long knife in his hand clanged out of its sheath, saving his beloved little donkey from the dragon's mouth at a critical moment.Immediately afterwards, he started fighting with the menacing jade dragon.

The Great Sage originally planned to step forward to help, but he was very curious about the rare initiative of the Buddhist monk, so he watched enthusiastically.At first, the Great Sage just wanted to see how strong this monk who loved to run away was, but after watching, his gaze changed.

——This saber move...looks so familiar...I remember I only taught it to...

At the same time, in order to prevent the monsters in the water from hiding in the bottom of the water and not getting out, Wuji shouted at Monkey King:

"Great Sage, please help me prevent this evil dragon from escaping back to the bottom of the water to save his life. I'm going to beat him up on land."

The Great Sage didn't say anything.Wuji didn't feel strange about this, and still concentrated on fighting Yulong.

In fact, what he said was not only to communicate with Monkey King, but also to provoke the jade dragon in the sorrowful stream of the snake coiling around the mountain and the eagle.Sure enough, as soon as Wuji finished speaking, the jade dragon uttered a dragon chant that contained contempt and anger, then swung its head high and swung its tail, and swooped towards Wuji in the blink of an eye, completely ignoring that it was getting farther and farther away from Jianshui ...

After wrestling with Yulong for more than two hundred rounds, Wuji couldn't help but mutter:

"The last time I escorted Master Kongwen to learn Buddhist scriptures, there were no ghosts in Yingshou Stream, and it was very quiet and innocent. Why did the poor monk go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, and there was an extra jade dragon here? Counting the time, You are definitely not a native dragon, you are definitely a foreigner.

"Hey, you dragons are all related. I have a good relationship with Ao Moang, the Dragon Prince of the West Sea. The Great Sage and the Dragon King of the Four Seas beside me are old friends and acquaintances. Hey, Yulong, who are your parents and relatives? Is there someone from the West Sea Dragon Palace? If there is, let's turn our battles into jade silk now, and don't let your own family beat your own family."

Wuji's non-stop talking during the battle will not weaken his own strength, but will make his moves more powerful, sharp and free-spirited.But his opponent, Yulong, unknowingly slowed down his attack because he was distracted from paying attention to what Wuji was saying.

Just when Wuji was about to beat the jade dragon with all his strength, the jade dragon suddenly backed away with a long cry.Not only did he no longer insist on fighting, but he also changed into a human form in front of Wuji, and asked anxiously:

"You monk just mentioned the matter of learning the scriptures... dare to ask, but you are a holy monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and is going to the west to seek the scriptures?"

Wuji stared at the suddenly transformed Yulong, puzzled by the excitement and eagerness in his eyes.He frowned slightly in thought, and then suddenly felt something in his heart, and suddenly said:

"You are so excited, are you waiting for the Buddhist scriptures here? What are you waiting for him to do? Do you believe in the rumors about eating meat for longevity, or do you follow the orders of some Bodhisattva or great immortal and wait to be my disciple?"

While sizing up Wuji's appearance as a monk and Sun Dasheng who was standing not far away, Yulong quickly told about his life experience and the ins and outs of being rescued by the Bodhisattva.

"Thanks to the Bodhisattva's mercy, I asked the Jade Emperor to temporarily exempt the little dragon from punishment. She ordered me to wait in this Eagle's Sorrow Stream, patiently waiting for the Buddhist scriptures to pass here."

Wuji raised his eyebrows and said: "So, in order to achieve the golden body and get rid of the guilt, you need to protect and help the Buddhist scriptures to go to the west to obtain the scriptures?"

Yulong nodded happily, looking at Wuji expectantly, just waiting for him to admit his identity.

Wuji took a serious look at Yulong's handsome appearance and suave demeanor after he transformed into a human form, and then glanced at his black hair quietly, thinking that it's good to accept such an apprentice.

——Good looking, personable, and most importantly, after giving Yulong an official title, this new apprentice has to shave his head...

Therefore, after some friendly and cordial exchanges, the third prince Yulong, the Dragon King of the West Sea, became Wuji's great apprentice.

"But...the bodhisattva asked Xiaolong to give you a kick for the holy monk." Yulong hesitated.

"Hey, no matter what, this is my way to learn from the scriptures, and I should be the master. We can go west together, and the little donkey Aqing is my temporary foot strength. Big apprentice, you should maintain your human form. It would be a pity for the horses."

"Thank you, Master, Xiaolong is very grateful."

Just when the newly released master and apprentice were talking happily, Sun Wukong, who had been quiet for a while, suddenly sneered:

"Wuji, since you have accepted an apprentice, as a master, shouldn't you also tell the apprentice your name, origin, and dharma name, etc. Do you want to be called a sutra learner all the time?"

Mowgli: ...

Wuji, who exposed his identity, once again used his strengths in escaping, and ran away immediately, but no matter how straight and slender his legs are, no matter how exquisite his lightness kung fu and body skills are, he can't escape the "hunting" of Monkey King!

"Ah ah ah ah ah——Uncle Dasheng, I was wrong, I just wanted to give you a surprise——"

"Heh, I'm really surprised and happy! Come, let my old grandson test your skills..."

Under the bright moonlight, Wuji squatted by the water's edge and rubbed the medicated oil for reducing stasis and swelling on his face. He was so painful that his tears were tearing up, but he still complained to the refreshed Sun Dasheng:

"Uncle Dasheng, did you agree to hit someone in the face? I'm so old, and I have a new apprentice. Don't you want to lose face? Oh, thanks for not breaking the skin. If there is a wound, it will be accidentally contaminated. With monkey hair, there will definitely be scars."

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, squatted on the rock and gnawed some fresh and sweet peaches he picked from an unknown peach grove, too lazy to say anything to the nagging and coquettish brat.

The third prince of Yulong: ... Is this really the person who learned the Buddhist scriptures mentioned by the Bodhisattva?It doesn't feel very reliable.

The next day, the Buddhist scriptures and a group passed Yingshoujian smoothly and continued westward.

The cold comes and the summer goes, the sun and the moon alternate, and it is so lively to hunt down demons all the way. On this day, Wuji and others came to the boundary of Gao Laozhuang.

Here, Wuji first reluctantly recognized Zhu Bajie as his second apprentice, and then very neatly gave him the hat with the golden hoop hidden in it.Thus, the "tightening mantra" taught by the Bodhisattva finally came into play.

During the subsequent journey, whenever Zhu Bajie was lazy, played tricks or provoked discord, Wuji would silently chant the magic spell to punish him.After a few times, the former Canopy Marshal finally became hardworking and honest.

However, the country is easy to change and the nature is hard to change.After discovering that Wuji doesn't chant the mantra every time to punish himself, Zhu Bajie, who has repented on the surface, will make small mistakes from time to time, whether it is unintentional or deliberately testing Wuji's bottom line.

Zhu Bajie still doesn't know the background of the new master for the time being. He was misled by Wuji's daily performance and the few words of the great sage. The disadvantaged situation, so that I can take off the golden hoop on my head.He knew very well that there was no possibility of improving his appearance, so he thought of finding another way...

After arriving at Liusha River, under the persuasion of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Wuji accepted another apprentice who did not meet his aesthetics.This third apprentice was also an acquaintance of Wuji, and he was the exiled rolling curtain general whom Pei Xiang beat up before—the current Drifting Monk Sha Wujing.

Compared with Wuji's reluctance, Drifting's mood is more complicated.

He never expected that the Buddhist sect would choose the child secretly born by Zhenjun Erlang and a mortal woman as a Buddhist scripture learner.This, this... I always feel that someone is playing a very complicated game of chess.

At this moment, Drifting thought of the strict rules and regulations of heaven, thought of the upholding of the three religions, thought of the picture of the happy family but couldn't let the child call father... shivered suddenly.Therefore, Drifting decided to keep a secret about everything he saw and experienced before, so as not to cause trouble to his upper body.

After the scripture learning team was assembled, Wuji finally arrived at the boundary of Longevity Mountain in Hezhou, Xiniu, safely and safely, under the care of Sun Dasheng and the assistance of his three apprentices.

After arriving here, Wuji will naturally go to Wuzhuang Temple to stay for a few days. One is to visit relatives and friends in the temple and inform him of his current situation. The other is that Wuji plans to make insinuations about the marriage between his mother and uncle Zhenjun .

Among the five people in the party, only the Great Sage knew the details of Wuji's life experience, and also knew that Wuji's biological mother, Yin Wenjiao, was the direct disciple of the Great Immortal Yuan of Wuzhuangguan Town.

Therefore, when Wuji trotted into Wuzhuang Temple and called "Mother" to a beautiful woman, the third prince Yulong and Zhu Bajie who were a few steps behind were a little dumbfounded.They never expected that the eminent monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty actually had a mother who cultivated Taoism.Drifting was also surprised and secretly vigilant, because he felt that he had spied on more secrets.

And among these dazed people, Zhu Bajie, who spent every day trying to figure out how to coax Master to remove the golden hoop, was the most surprised.

He stared blankly at the scene of the mother-child reunion with his ears flapped and his mouth pouted, and there were countless reasons why he wanted to ask.For example, whose child is Master Yin Wuji?What was the relationship between Lady Yin and Zhenjun Erlang back then?How did she become a disciple of Wuzhuang Temple again?Is Lady Yin still with Yang Jian?

After chatting with each other and reminiscing about the old days, everyone sat down one after another, the fragrance of tea wafted up, and Zhu Bajie, who had been a little out of shape all the time, came back to his senses completely.

He told himself with a fluke mentality that Pei Xiang should not recognize his appearance at this time.But for the sake of caution, he still subconsciously reduced his sense of existence, and secretly hoped that Wuji and others would not mention that he was the former Marshal of the Canopy for the time being.

After a while, the Taoist boy in Wuzhuang Temple got up and arranged the accommodation and food for the guests. Pei Xiang's mother and son and Sun Wukong also had a lot to say, so everyone dispersed.

Not to mention Yulong and Drifting Monk who went to rest, but only Zhu Bajie.

This guy was worried that the foolish things he had done before would be revealed, and because he suddenly reunited with his former beauty, he was a little impatient and daydreamed, and he wanted to find out the relationship between Yin Wuji, Chen Guangrui, and Erlang Zhenjun, so he didn't stay in the guest room honestly, but It was wandering around in Wuzhuang Temple.

As he was walking, the idiot bumped into the treasure of Immortal Zhenyuan—the ginseng fruit tree.
