Hearing that Tang Monk said that he wanted to wait and see, but did not explain the problem of monsters under the Liusha River, Sun Wukong did not say anything and followed him quietly to wait.
"Bang!!!"
At this moment, a column of water suddenly burst out from the river, and Zhu Bajie rushed out.
"Master!"
Zhu Bajie, who was far away, waved to Tang Monk and shouted loudly. Behind him, a figure also appeared. Seeing this figure, the golden cudgel in Sun Wukong's hand instantly appeared.
"Master, be careful!"
"Brother Monkey, it's okay. I told him everything according to Master's words. Like us, he has received enlightenment from Guanyin Bodhisattva and is here to wait for Buddhist monks."
Seeing Sun Wukong's prepared look, Zhu Bajie said with a smile.
"He was also enlightened by the Bodhisattva?" Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, then he put away the golden cudgel and circled around Sha Monk, looking up and down.
"Disciple Sha Wujing, pay homage to Master."
Sha Seng came to Tang Seng and knelt down on the ground with great reverence.
Looking at Sha Monk kneeling in front of him, Tang Monk nodded, stood up and helped Sha Monk up, saying: "Since it is the Bodhisattva's enlightenment, from now on, you will be my third disciple."
"yes!"
"Wu Jing, both of your senior brothers have nicknames. I think you look a bit like a Buddhist monk. Plus you live in the Liusha River. How about taking Sha as your surname and calling yourself monk?"
Sha Wujing naturally had no objection to Tang Monk giving him a name, and bowed and said, "Thank you, Master, for giving me the name!"
Seeing this, Tang Seng nodded with satisfaction, and then couldn't help but look at the nine skulls on Sha Seng's neck, "Presumably, this is my previous life..."
"Master, this is..." Seeing Tang Seng looking at the skeleton on his neck, Sha Seng hesitated and didn't know how to explain it.
He now knows that Tang Monk is the Buddhist scripture collector, and he has eaten nine Buddhist scripture collectors.
Their skulls were also made into necklaces and hung around their necks. What would Monk Tang think if he knew this?
Seeing Sha Seng's hesitation, Tang Seng didn't say anything, and then said: "We have been wasted a lot of time here, is there any way for Wu Jing to cross the river?"
Seeing that Tang Seng was no longer obsessed with the necklace issue, Sha Seng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
There was a hint of joy on his back, and he said: "Master, let's see Wu Jing help you cross the river!" After saying that, he waved his hand, and the necklace around his neck turned into huge beads, floating on the river.
Each bead is large enough to accommodate a dozen people.
"Master, please!"
Seeing this, Tang Seng didn't waste any time. With the help of several apprentices, he came to sit on the bead, followed by Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and finally Sha Seng and White Dragon Horse.
Driven by Sha Monk's force, the Liusha River began to flow, and the beads quickly crossed the river.
However, what the master and disciples did not notice at this time was that deep in the clouds, Muzha was holding a gourd, looking at Tang and others who were about to land, with a look of surprise on his face.
"This one seems to be different from what Master predicted..."
After saying that, Mu Zha shook his head and didn't care. He turned around and left. After a while, he came to a fairyland.
"Master!"
At this time, in the fairyland, beside a lotus pond, Manjusri, Guanyin, and Lishan Mother were laughing and talking.
Seeing Muzha arriving, Guanyin nodded and said, "Is it done?"
"Yes, but the disciple did not take action. It seems that Zhu Bajie entered the Liusha River and led Sha Wujing out. As soon as he landed on the shore, Sha Wujing directly worshiped Tang Monk as his teacher.
Thinking about it, it was probably when Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were fighting underwater that he revealed Tang Seng's identity."
Mu Zha expressed his guess.
"I understand, please step back..." Guanyin waved her hand and said.
"yes!"
After Mu Zha retreated, Guanyin smiled and said to everyone: "The number of people who were destined to study the scriptures has finally returned to their places..."
"Good!"
After hearing Guanyin's words, Manjushri and Samantabhadra looked at each other, with a smile on their faces, and they all saluted to Guanyin.
Seeing this, Guanyin also nodded slightly.
But at this moment, Old Mother Lishan, who was just listening on the side, shook her head slightly and said: "Actually, there is one more thing, and that is about the Buddhist monks this time."
After hearing what Old Mother Lishan said, Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Guanyin all couldn't help but look at Old Mother Lishan.
"Oh? I don't know what's going on?" As the person in charge of collecting scriptures, Guanyin naturally wanted to ask questions when Old Mother Lishan said something related to the scripture collectors.
Seeing everyone looking at her, Old Mother Lishan nodded and said: "Not long ago, I passed by Huangfengling and happened to meet Tang Seng and his disciples. Tang Seng and Sun Wukong are easy to talk to, but that Zhu Bajie has a very ordinary heart..."
Thinking of Zhu Bajie's ugly behavior that day, Old Mother Lishan couldn't help but shake her head.
There were all powerful men and women present. From the look on Lishan's old mother's face, it was not difficult to guess what she was talking about. Then, Manjusri and Samantabhadra couldn't help but look at Guanyin.
"Amitabha, on the way westward, demons and temptations are rampant. It seems that we need to give Tang Monk and his disciples a piece of advice..."
"Actually, I have a plan. I wonder what you guys think?" At this point, Lishan's mother didn't wait for Guanyin and the others to speak, and then said directly: "How about we give them a test?"
"test?"
Seeing everyone looking at her in confusion, Lishan's mother smiled, came to one side, casually broke off a branch of the old tree next to her, and said, "How about this?"
As he spoke, the whole person changed into the appearance of a middle-aged woman.
Manjusri, Samantabhadra, and Guanyin all reacted when they saw Old Mother Lishan transforming into a mortal woman and combined with the test she just mentioned.
"Wonderful!"
Then they saw Manjusri and Samantabhadra looking at each other, bowing their bodies slightly, then transformed into two young girls with shy faces, and came to Lishan's mother.
Seeing this, Guanyin also smiled slightly, waved the fly whisk in his hand and turned it into a fan, turned around slightly, and another young girl appeared.
"Mother!"
The girls transformed by the three people came to Lishan's mother and called out sweetly.
"Hey, haha..."
Being called mother by several quasi-sages, Old Mother Lishan couldn't help but let out a loud laugh. Then, the fairyland slowly faded away, followed by a few people who disappeared.
Immediately afterwards, in the mountains not far from the town on the westward journey, a high-walled courtyard slowly appeared.
At the same time, on a dense forest trail.
Tang Monk was walking slowly in front, with Sun Wukong and the others following him. Suddenly, Tang Monk stopped and looked at the exit of the forest ahead. After taking a deep breath, he said, "Wukong, how are things going?"
"Master, the guards in heaven are too tight. Fortunately, with the help of Bajie and Junior Brother Sha, I managed to steal three." Sun Wukong stepped forward and said.
Hearing this, Tang Seng nodded slightly and said, "Three, that's a lot. By the way, has the news been released?"
"The news has been released. The three flat peaches that Lao Sun stole back then, together with the master's whereabouts, and the use of the master's flesh and blood to complement the flat peaches, can become a great Luo. I have passed these two details to all the big guys.
Demon."
Sun Wukong said sadly from the side.
"Where's Little White Dragon?" Tang Monk asked again.
"The disciples have also spread the word about all the aquatic creatures in the rivers, lakes and rivers. It is estimated that it won't be long before all the big demons and other demons will come."
Xiao Bailong stepped forward and said.
After listening to the report of Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon, Tang Monk squeezed his hand and continued walking, "It would be too boring if we follow the original path on our journey to the West.
