Chapter 132 The road blocks the Tianhe River
"Although I have known that the plot is powerful, I am still unhappy!" Yang Zhen sighed at the three beast bones on the ground.
"Second brother, what plot and what power are you talking about?" Zhu Bajie happened to walk to Yang Zhen and asked after hearing Yang Zhen's words.
Yang Zhen patted Zhu Bajie's 'nine months' stomach and said, "Bajie, you said... when I was in the Heavenly Court, if I hadn't stopped you, but let you break through the lower world, would you still be like this and follow Tang Sanzang to the West to obtain the scriptures?"
"How did the second brother talk about this?" Zhu Bajie looked at Yang Zhen in confusion and said, "Second brother, don't mind, Lao Zhu, I won't blame you for a long time. There are so many experts in the Heavenly Court. Even if you don't take me at that time, Lao Zhu, I will never be able to break through the lower world. If Lao Zhu had the strength of you, you or Brother Monkey at that time, you might be able to leave."
"Let's go, we've gotten rid of the monsters, we're going to go on the road," Yang Zhen saw that Tang Sanzang and the king had obtained the pass certificate, so he called Zhu Bajie and walked towards Tang Sanzang.
Although Tang Sanzang wanted to travel west as soon as possible, he could not withstand the enthusiasm of King Che Chi Kingdom to stay for a night. That night, the king held a banquet, thanking Tang Sanzang and others for helping Che Chi Kingdom eliminate demons and rescue Che Chi Kingdom and the people. He also promised to post a list of monks early tomorrow morning, hang it in all directions, and rebuild Zhiyuan Temple.
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he was naturally happy and chatted with the king for a few more words.
The next morning, the king summoned all officials and sent Tang Sanzang to the west gate before he stopped.
The journey westward was long, leaving Chechi Country, and the Journey to the West team entered the wilderness of the mountains and forests. Before they knew it, spring was over and summer was gone. It was another year of autumn wind and red leaves.
I remember when I first met Tang Sanzang, Tang Sanzang was still a handsome young monk, but in the past few years of sleeping in the open, he had already tortured Tang Sanzang's face and was covered in frost and cold. In the past few years of traveling west, Tang Sanzang was determined and never thought of turning back. He no longer cried when encountering difficulties, and had the courage to face any difficulties.
"Advisors, where will you rest tonight?" Seeing that it was getting late, Tang Sanzang asked everyone.
Yang Zhen had already used the Dragon Eagle body to investigate the situation ahead. When he heard Tang Sanzang ask, he replied, "Master, let's take advantage of the bright moonlight and walk for a while. There is a village not far ahead, let's go there to sleep!"
"Ouch! It's so good, this road is difficult. I still carry a heavy burden on the old pig, so it's really hard to walk. I'll find my own house for a while, and have a good sleep. I'll keep going west tomorrow. If I can't eat enough and can't sleep well, I can't walk anymore." Zhu Bajie complained.
Of course, Zhu Bajie's words can only deceive Tang Sanzang.
After walking for a while, I saw a village ahead, with about four or five hundred families.
"Huh? Kitten, I've wanted to ask you for a long time. I don't see you going to explore the way forward, so how did you know there is a village ahead?" Sun Wukong asked curiously.
"The Buddha said: You can't say it, you can't say it!" Yang Zhen bought a secret.
After finding a wealthy family, Tang Sanzang got off the horse and went to knock on the door. After a while, an old man walked out. Tang Sanzang hurriedly bowed and said, "Old donor, I am polite."
Yang Zhen and the others have experienced this process of staying in the house for countless times. Although Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha are scary, after explanation, they don’t mind.
Although he reluctantly accepted Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng, the old man asked tremblingly: "Master, you are so handsome, why don't you recruit more people like your second disciple, but instead look for such ugly disciples?"
Tang Sanzang explained: "Although my disciple is not good-looking, everyone can subdue dragons and tigers, catch monsters and monsters."
As soon as he approached the house, the old man and his servant prepared some vegetarian food for everyone to eat.
After eating vegetarian food, Yang Zhen first asked: "Old donor, where is the west of this village? Our master and apprentice will go west tomorrow. I'll ask the old donor to tell you."
"You are going to Tongtian River?" The old man was shocked and shouted, "You can't cross it, you can't cross it! If you can't cross it, you can't cross it, I advise you to find another place to go west."
"Why is this?" Yang Zhen asked.
"There is a river in the west of our village called Tongtian River. This river is 800 miles away, and there are few people walking through it since ancient times. But if I wanted to cross the river in the past, it would be nothing. But more than ten years ago, a temple of Inspiration King was built by the river. This Inspiration King not only made our village offer sacrifices every year, but also to sacrifice a pair of boys and virgins every year. After a meal, he would ensure that we have a good weather for the whole year. If not, we would come and cause disasters."
Alas! The old man sighed and continued, "I am getting a son when I am old, and there is a man and a woman, but I am sorry that it is my turn to offer sacrifices this year. If I don't pay it, the village will cause disaster. Alas!"
At the end of his speech, the old man burst into tears, obviously feeling extremely reluctant.
Tang Sanzang comforted me, and the old man was better. He held Tang Sanzang's arm and said tremblingly: "Elder, it will be the day to offer sacrifices in two days. I will also trouble the elders to recite scriptures for my son to be able to live a good family in the next life!"
"So that's the case, okay! Old man, call the son out and I'll see." Sun Wukong said.
After hearing this, the old man went back to the house and brought out a little baby and let Sun Wukong take a look.
Sun Wukong glanced at the little baby for a few times, then transformed himself into the little baby. Walking to the old man, Sun Wukong said, "Old man, can you change like your son?"
"The master has such ability." The old man exclaimed: "Xiang Xiang Xiang! It turns out that he has the same appearance, the same sound, the same clothes, the same height."
"Kitten, you will become a girl later. Let's go and meet that inspiration king." Sun Wukong said, pulling Yang Zhen.
"Why did you become a boy and I become a girl?" Yang Zhen said unhappy.
Sun Wukong scratched his head and said in confusion: "What's the difference? If I saw the inspiration king, Lao Sun would not be able to eat you even if I was not good at fighting. If I, Lao Sun, wouldn't have to do this trouble? I directly overturned his cave and smashed that guy into a meat pie."
"It's not the problem!" Yang Zhen covered his forehead, wondering how to talk to Sun Wukong, a simple monkey.
Seeing that Sun Wukong was willing to help him, the old man hurriedly knelt down and thanked Tang Sanzang: "The elder is indeed merciful. The young man is willing to give him a thousand taels of silver to deal with Elder Tang's money to travel west."
"Why don't you thank me Lao Sun for not giving me money?" asked Sun Wukong.
"You have been eaten by monsters, and it's useless to give it to you," said the old man.
"Haha, that monster doesn't mean eating me. If you see us, you will still call grandpa!" Yang Zhen said with a smile.
The inspiration king of Tongtian River was the goldfish that Yang Zhen had caught for ten years when he was in Luojia Mountain. It must have been Guanyin Bodhisattva who asked his own goldfish to go down to the world in order to make up for eighty-one difficulties, and Tang Sanzang was in trouble.
