[Journey to the West] The 500 Years of Feeding Master

◎The river water is poisonous. ◎

"I don't know how the Bodhisattva will deal with him?" Sun Wukong said, "As the saying goes, one life is worth one life. This goldfish spirit has lived in Tongtianhe for nine years. Every year, the villagers of Chenjiazhuang will pay tribute to a virgin boy and a virgin girl. , ate a total of [-] children in nine years, even a thousand cuts would not be a pity to die."

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other, but they didn't expect that Sun Wukong would question Bodhisattva directly.

The Bodhisattva was not angry, she said: "Amitabha, Wukong, although this evil animal is wrong, the sixteen children are also karmic, and they are destined to suffer this catastrophe. After I take this evil animal back, I will strictly control it." Add discipline."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Sun Wukong smiled and said, "I still have to take this fish to the people of Chenjiazhuang to make an explanation, otherwise they might make things difficult for my master."

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, the goldfish spirit began to jump vigorously, and he shouted: "Bodhisattva, isn't it a merit for me to help Jin Chanzi and the others? You can't hand me over to this poor monkey..."

The Bodhisattva pointed to the mouth of the goldfish spirit, and the goldfish spirit could no longer speak. She recited the Buddha's name and said, "I didn't make you so cruel." She glanced at Monkey King again, and said, " Amitabha, Wukong, since you insist on this, I will hand over this beast to you."

"Then I would like to thank the Bodhisattva." Sun Wukong hooked the corner of his mouth, thanked the Bodhisattva, took the goldfish essence, greeted the two juniors and left.

The three of them quickly returned to Aunt Chen's house, and seeing many people gathered around her house, they immediately went to check on the safety of Tang Sanzang and the others, but luckily they were fine.On the contrary, the group of villagers, when they saw Monkey King returning with a goldfish, felt a little bit in their hearts. Finally, Monkey King got rid of the goldfish essence in front of the villagers. The people who Sanzang's master and apprentice dedicated to the King of Inspiration also completely shut up. At this moment, they knew very well that even the King of Inspiration was not an opponent, and they couldn't afford to offend him.

In this way, several people from Tang Sanzang lived in Chenjiazhuang for another day, and half of the people in the village even specially set up a vegetarian banquet to celebrate the removal of King Inspiration.When the wine was half drunk, an old tortoise came to the door in person, and everyone knew that the old tortoise was the real river god of the Tongtian River. Nine years ago, the fish spirit took over the cave, and today they learned that the fish spirit was eliminated by the Monkey King. I came here specially to thank you.

Not all the villagers in Chenjiazhuang believed the words of Monkey King and Laogui, nor did they believe that the king of inspiration was really a fish, so after they left, they went to Tongtian River to look for it several times.This is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being.

The next day, Tang Sanzang and his party bid farewell to everyone in Chenjiazhuang, crossed the Tongtian River and continued westward.Originally it was Ao Lie who transformed into a dragon and crossed Sanzang across the river, but the old tortoise insisted on carrying Sanzang across the river as a way of expressing his gratitude, everyone couldn't hold him back, so they agreed.After crossing the Tongtian River, the old turtle said that he had lived for 300 years. When he asked Tang Sanzang to get the scriptures, he asked the Tathagata Buddha about his life span.

Sun Wukong has come down from the cloud at this moment, and he said with a smile: "This old turtle is so unreasonable, you can continue to come back to be your river god except for the fish spirit, and even if there is no you, there is a junior brother, this Tongtian River we You can still cross, but you have the nerve to come to my master for help."

The old turtle smiled awkwardly, and only looked at Tang Sanzang expectantly.Tang Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name and said with a smile: "Wukong, this is not a big deal." Then he said to the old turtle, "Don't worry, old god. When the poor monk gets the scriptures, he will definitely ask the Tathagata for you."

The old turtle was overjoyed and thanked Tang Sanzang.

Tang Sanzang and his party resigned from Laogui and continued on the road.

But that night, the master and apprentice lived in the cave for the night.There are many mosquitoes in summer, Sun Wukong set up a barrier in the cave to prevent the mosquitoes from entering, Sha Wujing is tall, so he had to stay outside the cave.After several people had the fast meal, Tang Sanzang was reading scriptures aside, Zhu Bajie had gone to bed early, and Ao Lie ran outside the cave to play with his sword.

Ji Tao had nothing to do, so she took Monkey King to patrol the mountains and picked some herbs by the way.

Early the next morning, several people continued on the road.

Time flies by in a blink of an eye, it is hot and cold, and it is the spring of the next year in a blink of an eye.The master and apprentice have been on the road for more than half a year, and nothing major happened along the way, but at the end of last year, they passed a Jindou Mountain. There is a Jindou Cave on the mountain, and a group of cow monsters live in the cave.The head of the bull demon is called King One Horn Si. This king has a treasure that can suck away magic weapons from other people, even Sun Wukong's golden cudgel.

When everyone was at a loss, Ji Tao took out Zhu Bajie's red underwear from the luggage, and smashed the one-horned King Dou into the mountains. Monkey King learned a lesson, pulled the monkey's hair, turned into a monkey grandson, and gave each monkey They all pulled a piece of red cloth and told them to go to a bullfight.The unicorn king was dizzy, and Monkey King took the opportunity to steal his treasure and took out his golden cudgel.When the bull demon was about to be accepted, the Taishang Laojun from the Nine Heavens actually came. It turned out that the bull demon was actually Laojun's mount Qingniu, who came down to earth secretly.The treasure in his hand is precisely the most acquired treasure of the Taishang Laojun - Diamond Cutting.

The green ox didn't do anything harmful in Jindou Mountain, so Monkey King handed it back to Laojun.

After leaving Jindou Mountain, he never encountered any ghosts and ghosts again. Ji Tao came back after exploring the road, and said to Tang Sanzang and the others: "Master, Master, there is a village ahead. You have to cross the river. If you go further, you should be able to see the city. Yes. The surrounding area is full of people, and there are no evil spirits, so you can go there with confidence."

Several people were very happy when they heard the words. After all, this road is mostly in the wilderness, where there are people, so at least they can settle down and have a hot meal.When they got to the river, they asked their mother-in-law to ferry them across the river. After crossing the river, Zhu Bajie saw that the river was clear, and scooped a bowl of water for Tang Sanzang in a wooden bowl, and said, "Master, you are also thirsty along the way. The water is clean and drinkable!"

Tang Sanzang took it with a smile, and Zhu Bajie called Ji Tao and the others to drink water.

Ji Tao also felt a little thirsty, so she took a handful with her hand and drank a few sips.Looking back, I saw that Zhu Bajie had plunged his head into the river, drinking water with his buttocks sticking out.Sha Wujing also drank a few sips, and said with a smile: "Second Senior Brother, you should be gentle."

Zhu Bajie said: "Go, go, old pig, I'm almost dying of thirst."

Seeing Zhu Bajie's naive attitude, everyone couldn't help laughing.After drinking water and packing their luggage, the group of people planned to go on the road. Ji Tao planned to go to the village in front of him to spend the night, but he didn't know that after taking a step, he felt a severe pain in his lower abdomen, and he curled up into a ball and squatted On the ground... Seeing this, Monkey King hurried forward to support her, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, Taoer?"

Ji Tao held her belly, her face was pale, and she said to Sun Wukong: "I don't know why, my stomach hurts so much..."

Before Sun Wukong could find out, the screams of Tang Sanzang and others came from behind.

"How is this going?!"

Except for himself and Ao Lie, Ji Tao and the others all had the same symptoms.

Ao Lie was supporting Tang Sanzang, thought for a moment, and said to Monkey King: "Brother, is this river water poisonous?!"

Just now, Monkey King and Ao Lie didn't drink water, and now they are the only two who have no symptoms.Sun Wukong immediately took a look at the river with his golden eyes, wondering: "It's strange, there is no monster in this river! What's so weird about this river?"

Ji Tao in his arms grabbed his arm weakly and said, "Master, there is a village nearby. If there is a problem with the river, the people in the village will know the reason."

As soon as Sun Wukong heard it was reasonable, he held Ji Tao and sat down with Tang Sanzang and the others, and said to Ao Lie: "Little brother, take good care of Master and the others, I will come as soon as I go!"
