The white-bone spirit's face was happy but then he frowned and said:
"Is there a monkey among them?"
Bat Spirit said:
"Monkey? Oh... I saw a skinny monkey less than five feet tall. Others were resting at the foot of the mountain. He seemed to have gone to look for food.
There are no human settlements in the Baihuling Thousand Miles area. They are monks and they don't know how to hunt and kill animals, so they must have gone to look for mountain fruits. I guess there won't be an hour before he doesn't come back.
But why did Madam ask that monkey? Among these monks there is a pig-headed monster and a blue-faced monster. They look much more ferocious."
The White Bone Spirit rolled his eyes at the Bat Spirit and said:
"What do you know? That monkey head is Monkey King, the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace. This time, he will escort Tang Sanzang to study in the West. I originally thought there was no chance. Now that he has left, I will definitely eat Tang Monk's meat.
.”
The bat spirit moved forward with a pair of mung bean eyes, glanced at the extremely exposed heart of the white bone spirit, swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said:
"Why are you so concerned about that monk meat, madam? Not to mention the danger, there is no need for us to provoke those tough guys."
The Bone Demon said coldly:
"Hmph, what do you know? If you eat Tang Monk's meat, you can live forever, and I can be reborn with flesh and blood from my bones. What will happen to this precious treasure if I don't eat it? You take a good look at the cave, and I'll go take a look..."
The white-bone spirit glanced at the bat spirit and then her body suddenly turned into a village girl of sixteen or seventeen. A sinister smile appeared on her lips and disappeared into the skull cave. As soon as she left, the bat spirit's original color eyes suddenly turned cold and stern, and he touched it.
He whispered on his cheek:
"Buddha is indeed right. Ma Wangfo has his own selfish motives. This white-bone demon wants to eat Tang Sanzang and resurrect him to live forever. Let the news spread from her."
As he spoke, the bat spirit left in a flash, but just after he left, Xiao Jiang's figure appeared in the cave. He smiled and said:
"Sure enough, all the monsters on the road know that eating Tang Monk's meat can lead to immortality. It was spread here. The bat spirit...it turned out to be him, the jade bat in the hands of Buddha from the east. Interesting, interesting..."
Xiao Jiang disappeared as he spoke, and at the foot of the mountain, a village girl with white bones holding a sand pot in her left hand and a bamboo basket in her right hand was walking along the mountain road. Soon she was approaching the boulder where everyone was resting.
Seeing that everyone was resting, he tiptoed to Tang Monk's side, with a fierce look in his eyes, ready to take action.
"monster."
Suddenly, Zhu Gang's hyena jumped up with a loud roar, and the white-bone spirit hurriedly backed up. She rolled her eyes and shouted backwards:
"Monsters, there are monsters..."
Everyone woke up with this shouting. Sha Wujing held the Zen staff, Ao Lie drew out his long sword, and Tang Monk shouted nervously:
"Where are the monsters?"
The village girl transformed from the White Bone Demon looked at Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng with a horrified face and shouted:
"Monster, don't harm me, I'm still a young girl."
Upon hearing this, Zhu Ganghe shouted:
"What? You girl actually said that we are monsters. The old pig is Marshal Tianpeng's lower realm. Although he has a pig's head, he used to be a god in heaven. Why are you sneaking here?"
Tang Seng coughed dryly and stood up and said:
"Bajie, don't scare others. This girl, I am a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the west to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. The three of them are all my disciples. Although Bajie and Wujing look fierce, they have also been
He is a heavenly deity.
By the way, why are you here in the wilderness, girl? The mountain trails were overgrown with weeds when we came here, so it would be a bit scary for you to come out so suddenly."
The White Bone Demon lowered his head and said:
"It turns out that he is an eminent monk of the Tang Dynasty. His family lives in the back mountain, and his parents are here at home. He got a husband a few days ago. He is cultivating wasteland in the front mountain. I am sending him some porridge and steamed buns.
All the eminent monks look a little tired. It’s been a hard journey, hasn’t it?”
Tang Monk said with a smile:
"Although we were exposed to the wind and the sun and slept in the open, we were still able to survive. We were tired but happy. As long as we rested for a while, we could leave."
Zhu Ganghe even rolled his eyes at the Bone Demon and said:
"After all, our brothers are all immortals. Although Master works hard, we don't have any problems."
Ao Lie also smiled and said:
"Yes, we are all capable after all. This short journey is not a hardship. Since the girl wants to deliver food to her husband, then leave quickly. In this wilderness, a beautiful woman like you, if you encounter any bandits, it will be
It’s not safe.”
Sha Seng had a serious face and said nothing, but his expression was very complacent. With his head lowered, the white-bone spirit glanced at Tang Seng with a smile on his face. This was the treasure that allowed her to be reborn. However, she was protected so close by three immortal-level disciples.
, although she had some skills, she did not dare to mess around. She rolled her eyes and said:
"Masters, my parents are both Buddhists. If you pass by here, if I don't treat you one or two, you will inevitably be scolded. Let's do this. I have a lot of food here, so I will give it to the masters as lunch.
.”
Tang Monk put his hands together and bowed and said:
"Thank you very much for your kindness, female benefactor. This food is for my hardworking husband. He has worked hard to open up wasteland on this hot day. Now you have even given us food and rice porridge. So why is he working so hard?"
We monks always have ways to deal with it when we go out, but your husband has his face turned to the earth and his back to the sky, but because you believe in Buddhism at home, you give us food regardless of his hard work. Then should he be hungry and work desperately for the family?
Doesn’t this discredit our Buddhism?”
Bai Gujing's face twitched, but she saw the expressions on Ao Lie and others' approval of Tang Monk's words. She rolled her eyes and said:
"In this case, I was wrong. I went to deliver lunch to my husband. Why don't the masters come to my house behind the mountain. My parents are Buddhists and hospitable, and they will definitely entertain you well."
Tang Monk nodded and said:
"Amitabha, the girl's parents are so hospitable, so it's hard for us to refuse. Please go, girl. We'll clean up and then go to your house to have a look."
"Four masters, Nanu's family is leaving first."
The Bone Demon saw that he could not do anything now and left quickly. When she disappeared, Tang Monk rubbed his hands and looked at the three disciples and said:
"I guess the next step will be more interesting. Remember not to show any flaws, otherwise it won't be fun."
"understand……"
A group of people packed up and headed towards the back mountain along the mountain road. After a while, after climbing a hillside, a blue-tiled house stood in front of a forest. The four of them smiled at each other and walked to the courtyard door in front of the house.
At this place, Ao Lie stepped forward, patted the courtyard door and shouted:
"Is there anyone? Is there anyone..."
After calling several times in a row, the door opened and an old man came out slowly with a cane. He greeted calmly:
"What's wrong with you guys?"
Ao Lie put his hands together and said:
"We are all monks and nuns. We went to the west with Master and passed by the treasure land. We just met a woman who asked us to rest at her home."
