[Journey to the West] So I am Monk Tang

Of course I know I look delicious.

At the beginning, it was good looking, but after that experience in Fengxian County, although I didn't feel it, according to Brother Hou, it seemed to be full of fragrance, and even Bai Jingjing couldn't help being tempted.Although I have restrained myself now, if some youkai are tempted after seeing me, it is only natural.

But the problem is, it's one thing to be tempted, but another thing to do it.

Why are you so bold?

A good rhinoceros monster, gnaws grass leisurely every day, and goes to get some sesame oil every year on the Lantern Festival. Isn't this little life very good, why is it so hard to think about trying to eat meat?

I don't even look at whether my stomach can digest it.

When I walked to the entrance of the cave, the three rhinos were still gnawing on the vines.

I thought about it, and the vines suddenly became extremely hard. One of the rhinoceros monsters was caught off guard for a moment, and a tooth was knocked out, and blood flowed out of its mouth immediately.

Good, now they don't want to eat grass.

"Can you talk to me now?" I thought my attitude was just perfect.

The three rhino monsters finally became honest.

It turns out that this is the Xuanying Cave of Qinglong Mountain. The three rhinoceros monsters are called King Pihan, King Pishu, and King Bichen respectively.It's not too much to behave on weekdays. Although he asked for sesame oil in the name of gods and Buddhas, it also blessed one side with good weather and good harvests, and his small life was not bad.

"Since you are serious practitioners and have never killed anyone, why did you get me here?" I watched them falter and shift the focus, and kept saying that I was honest, so I couldn't help asking.

King Pihan looked at me a few times, "Return to the holy monk, we were just not careful..."

"Careless?" I hooked the corner of my mouth.

"That's right." King Pihan nodded affirmatively, "The place where the holy monk stands is too close to the golden lamp. In the past, at this time every year, the people next to the golden lantern disappeared. They were also photographed together."

I admit that I look pretty innocent, but that doesn't mean I'm really as easy to deceive as I look.

"Since it was taken by accident, why didn't you put it back, but immediately asked the little demon to wash and fry the live cuts with sesame oil?" I asked, and at the same time the vines tightened, "You'd better answer my question honestly, otherwise , When my apprentices come to the door, they are not as easy to talk to as I am."

"Which one is your apprentice? Is it famous?" King Pichen asked in a daze.

"Probably not as old as you, but you should have heard that my eldest apprentice is named Sun Wukong..." I was talking, but I was interrupted just as I started.

"Your apprentice is Sun Wukong?!" King Pihan yelled, "You are Monk Tang?!"

Isn't this nonsense?

"You have arrested me, and you still don't know who I am?" I asked a little funny.

Of the monsters I met before, who dared to catch me, which one didn't know my identity to catch me to eat and want to live forever?

"You must know that you are Tang Seng, we dare not touch you even if we kill you!" King Pishu's voice was crying, "Brother Huangshi came to visit us more than half a year ago and said that it was unfortunate that we had a relationship with your master and apprentice. There was a misunderstanding, but fortunately, I finally forgive you. We estimated the time for you to pass by here, no matter what, you should have passed by long ago!"

So, this is a story full of misunderstandings.

The three rhino monsters originally wanted to take away the sesame oil as before, and then saw me standing next to the golden lamp on the bridge and hadn’t retreated. I felt that eating me would be of great benefit, so I did it as I wanted, and rolled me together come over.And the reason why I stood in front of the lamp and didn't retreat to the bridge early like other common people was because I discovered that the people worshiped as Buddhas were three monsters...

Which lets me say something good.

Looking at the three monsters who no longer regarded me as honey but arsenic, I sighed, forget it, it was my first offence, so let’s reason with them.

I was convinced by the three rhino monsters and wept bitterly. When Brother Monkey arrived, he was surprised by the situation in the cave, and was suddenly hugged by the rhino monster that had escaped from the control of the vine, "Great Sage Grandpa, we know we were wrong, take the holy monk away quickly!"

Brother Hou glanced around the cave, I nodded to him, and he put away the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, "What's going on?"

"It's our eyes that don't know Mount Tai. Now that we regret it, please forgive us." The rhinoceros cried and chirped.

I was very unhappy when I was sent away, and I always felt that I was being treated as a plague god.

Although that is indeed true to some extent, don't make it so obvious.

On the way back to Ciyun Temple, Bai Jingjing found her.

"Master!" Bai Jingjing looked behind us, "I heard from Brother Zhu that Master was captured by a monster again? Why is there such a bold monster?"

Brother Hou stared, "I asked you to find the way ahead, why didn't you find out that there are monsters in Qinglong Mountain?"

"I was negligent this time." Bai Jingjing pursed her lips and looked at me with wet eyes, "I made Master suffer."

"It's okay." Apart from being a bit psychologically shocked, I'm really fine this time. "You came here this time, but is there something wrong in front of you?"

Bai Jingjing no longer pretended to be a gesture, but became serious, "Back to Master, I have been going all the way to the capital of Tianzhu Kingdom. Sure enough, there are monsters."

"What monster, what did it do? Bewitched the king?" I asked.

"That's not true, or I haven't done anything evil yet." Bai Jingjing replied, "That monster turned into a princess in the palace. I can't see what she looks like, but I also know that the king and queen are both human. Give birth to a monster child? And a monster living in the palace, how could there be no intention. If she is a fake, where is the real princess?"

It has to be said that Bai Jingjing's questions were on point.A monster is not troublesome, but a monster who replaces the real princess with a high status is very troublesome.To put it a little narcissistically, I think that monster is coming for me.

That being the case, it is better to solve it early.

Without wasting time, we went back to Ciyun Temple to pick up our luggage and horses, bid farewell to the master, and continued our journey westward.

After walking for half a month, I came across another high mountain, which was a good mountain, and there were no monsters living in it. Instead, there was a big temple called Bujin Temple.We entered the temple for fasting, and after explaining the origin, an old monk sent a young monk to invite us over.

The old monk claimed to be one hundred and five years old, but he looked no more than sixty years old, and his legs and feet were very sharp. He took me around Bujin Temple.

Bujin Temple has a very long history. I heard about it when I was in Tang Dynasty, and it was recorded in scriptures.Now being led by an old monk, every brick and stone has its own history, and I have heard it very well.However, when we walked around to the back garden, we suddenly heard the woman's weeping.

The voice is lingering and lingering, and those who hear it feel sad.I collected myself and looked at the old monk, "Excuse me, elder, who is crying?"

I suspect that the old monk was so enthusiastic to guide me at the beginning just to lure me here.And there is something strange here, this is a temple, and the voice of a woman is heard, which is not so unusual.

The old monk sighed, looked around and saw no one around, then bowed down to me.

I was taken aback, and quickly helped him up before his legs hit the ground, "Why is the old master like this? If there is any difficulty, please just say it's okay, this great gift must never be performed."

The old monk sighed, "It's a bit strange to talk about it, if I hadn't met the holy monk, I wouldn't have said it."

It turned out that a few years ago today, the old monk was enlightening under the moon, when suddenly there was a strong wind, and when the wind stopped, a woman's cry could be heard not far away.Curious, the old monk went over to look, and a beautiful and dignified woman suddenly appeared, claiming to be the princess of Tianzhu, who was blown here by the wind while watching flowers under the moon.The old monk seemed to believe it or not, but it was definitely not a good thing for a beautiful woman to appear in the temple. After thinking about it, he locked the woman in an empty room, and the outside was built like a prison with bricks, leaving only one who could The square hole for passing the bowl prevents the woman from starving to death inside.Then they summoned all the monks and said that the woman was a monster, and she had been subdued now, but it was not for the monks to easily hurt her life, so she would be locked up like that in the future, as long as she would not starve to death.

"So, is that woman a princess or a monster?" I was inclined to the former, when Bai Jingjing said that there was a fake princess in Tianzhu.

"I think she is a good person, but I have been to the capital all these years and inquired about the princess, but I have never heard of a princess having an accident." The old monk sighed, "Now that I am old, I don't know why. She will pass away when I am alive. That woman will be fine when I am alive, but if I am gone..."

Hearing this, I was a little curious, "Why did the old homeowner say that the woman was a monster at the beginning and lock her up? If she is released back to the folk, she may not be able to go home."

"Holy Monk, I have lived for so many years, and I think I still have some eyesight for people. If I let her go, I'm afraid she will lose her life." The old monk said, "As for why she was locked up, I am ashamed to say that she is a woman in the monastery. If she is defiled by a careless act, it would be a great sin. Fortunately, she is also very smart and understands what I mean. She pretends to be crazy all day long, urinating Limian, lying in shit, talking nonsense in a daze. Only at night, when she was really homesick, would there be crying. After so many years, no one doubted her, and all the monks believed that she was a monster .”

I was just about to say how could there be such a lustful person in a pure place of Buddhism, but seeing the helpless expression of the old monk, I just opened my mouth and didn't say anything.

Compared with me, an outsider, of course, the old monk understands the nature of the monks here better.

Obviously, these things are not honorable to the old monk, so he calmed down, "Now, the holy monk is going to Tianzhu, and he will definitely meet the king. Please also ask the holy monk to distinguish carefully, and let the good and the evil go to their own right." Firstly, it shows mana power, and secondly, it is also a merit."

It's not embarrassing, even if the old monk doesn't ask for it, if there is news from Bai Jingjing, I will figure it out.Now that I know the whereabouts of the real princess, it can be regarded as a peace of mind.

But what I didn't expect was that when I arrived in the capital of Tianzhu, I was catching up with a grand event. I was riding a horse and walking down the street when a hydrangea flew towards me.As soon as I picked it up subconsciously, a group of people immediately surrounded me, shouting "I've hit a monk", "I've seen the son-in-law", "Your honor, please enter the palace!".

I looked at the hydrangea in my arms and was a little confused.

When and where is this, why are there still people looking for a husband in this old-fashioned way?Historical experience has taught us, at least taught me, that such a random marriage is bound to be a tragedy.

For specific examples, please refer to Chen Guangrui and Ms. Yin.

As their son, I'm really insensitive to this kind of thing.
