Journey to the West: Play Westward Journey at the beginning

Chapter 47

When Qimeng Pavilion's novels were selling everywhere in the three realms, Tang Sanzang, who was traveling west, and Sun Wukong, the Monkey King who had just been rescued, finally arrived at Gaolaozhuang.

"Master, there is a village ahead. Let's go to the village to have a rest first." Sun Wukong jumped on the top of the tree and looked into the distance, then came down and told Tang Sanzang what he saw.

"Okay!" The road along the way was full of desolate mountains and wild places. Even though Tang Sanzang was a golden cicada in his previous life, he was just an ordinary person with a mortal body at this moment, and his body was inevitably tired after all.

But when they entered Zhuangzi and introduced themselves as Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong who went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures, something very strange happened.Originally, Tang Sanzang was worried that the people in Zhuangzi would be frightened by Sun Wukong's appearance, but he did not expect that they would be surrounded by people immediately after entering Zhuangzi. They did not say anything and just stared at their master. Just two people watching.But this kind of look is just a look of pure curiosity, without any malice.

"Amitabha, I don't know why you are looking at the poor monks and disciples like this." Tang Sanzang asked with his hands clasped together and a salute.

"That's right, that's right, you little brats, don't pull my old grandson's hair." Sun Wukong swatted away the hands of the little brats who were tugging on his hair one by one, and even made a monkey face to scare the children.But it didn't scare them, but instead aroused their goodwill.

"I dare to ask you, master and disciple, but Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong are going to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures?" An elder took a step forward and gave Tang Sanzang a gift in return.

"The two masters and disciples of the poor monk are exactly the same."

After receiving Tang Sanzang's answer, everyone's expressions relaxed, and then a little girl about ten years old asked:
"But are you really Tang Sanzang? It seems to me that you are not wordy at all!"

Before Tang Sanzang could figure out what was going on, another little boy of about the same age next to the little girl was the first to retort:

"This is the later Tang Sanzang. Didn't you see that the last Tang Sanzang has become less verbose?"

The little boy had just finished refuting the little girl when another little boy refuted him again:

"No, Tang Sanzang became less verbose later on after Fairy Zixia. You see, there was only one Sun Wukong beside Tang Sanzang, not even Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing. It was definitely not the Tang Sanzang who became less verbose later. Sanzang. And he doesn’t even have two disciples, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing, so I think his Tang Sanzang might be fake!”

"Zhizunbao, Zhizunbao, do you know Fairy Zixia? Can you help me get her autograph?"

"Stupid, now he is the Monkey King, the Monkey King, and is no longer the Supreme Treasure. Fairy Zixia is dead."

A group of children ignored Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong as they talked and talked about whether Tang Sanzang was verbose or not, whether Tang Sanzang was real or fake, and whether he recognized the current Sun Wukong. Zixia Fairy and other issues started to argue.

For a moment, it was as if there were hundreds of flies buzzing around Tang Sanzang and his disciples, making the noise extremely annoying.

"Stop the quarrel, stop the quarrel. Everyone, please take your children back." The leading elders slapped their crutches and said to the young people behind them.

The children who immediately surrounded Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong were immediately pulled, dragged or carried back by their parents. "Sorry for making the elders laugh." The elders smiled sheepishly at Tang Sanzang and his disciples.

"Amitabha, there is no hindrance. But why do the people in Guizhuangzi seem to be quite familiar with the poor monks and masters?" Tang Sanzang asked quite puzzled.

"Let me explain." A deep voice came from behind Zhu Lao.

Hearing the sound, the crowd and elders surrounding Tang Sanzang's master and disciples gave way one after another.

At this time, Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong saw clearly the appearance of the visitor: tall and strong, with fat head and big ears. He looked rather greasy, but his eyes were as calm as a deep pool, making people unable to help but ignore his appearance. External image.

"That's fine, that's fine, Marshal Tianpeng, I'll prepare some vegetarian dishes for you all. You can chat while you eat." The elders gave another salute to Tang Sanzang and others, and then left. Someone led Tang Sanzang and his disciples to the living room.

At the dinner table, Sun Wukong looked surprised: "You mean, the people in Zhuangzi know me because they watched Nao Shizi's Journey to the West?!!"

"Well, that's right. Especially because of the story between you and Fairy Zixia, I was deeply moved."

Zhu Bajie looked at Sun Wukong's astonished expression with a smile. He and Sun Wukong were old acquaintances. When Sun Wukong made trouble in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago, the two had a fight, and the result was "no winner or loser" because He wanted to garrison Tianhe, which was his duty. After Sun Wukong left the Tianhe area, he did not pursue him.

Later, because of some things, he was reincarnated and prepared to become a member of the Buddhist scriptures.Originally, he wanted to do some evil things, but when Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong passed by here, he was subdued by them.

However, the combined influence of the Twelve Bookshops is too great. There are Twelve Bookshops throughout the Tang Dynasty and even outside the country, or they have exchanged interests with the Twelve Bookshops and chosen to publish biographical novels and audio and video works. The jade slips were sold to merchants in other countries.After all, one person wearing a Qiankun bag or Qiankun ring can hold many books or jade slips with messages and photos.If you go to other countries and regions outside the Tang Dynasty, you can resell it for dozens or even hundreds of times the profit!

How could such huge profits not drive those businessmen crazy!

Naturally, in the early days of Gao Laozhuang, there were also businessmen passing by with biographical novels, voice notes, and jade slips with photos, and then "A Westward Journey" spread without any surprise.Similarly, "Westward Journey" was also watched by Zhu Bajie in Gao Laozhuang, perhaps because the stories in "Westward Journey" evoked certain memories.

He originally planned to disguise his identity and do evil deeds to wait for Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice to subjugate him, but suddenly he stopped thinking about it and felt that this so-called Journey to the West was nothing more than that.This hasn't even started yet, and someone has already started "Westward Journey".Feeling melancholy, he directly identified his identity with everyone in Gao Laozhuang and showed his strength. Then apart from watching "Westward Journey" every day, he quietly waited for the arrival of Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong.

After watching "Journey to the West" played by Zhu Bajie to the two of them, both Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong were a little silent.But the difference is that Sun Wukong's mood is somewhat similar to Zhu Bajie's mood - low, silent, and silent, making it difficult for people to see clearly what he is thinking.

As for Tang Sanzang, he sighed because of the love between Sun Wukong and Zixia Fairy in the photo. He sighed: "Amitabha, the world is suffering." At the same time, he also understood better why the one he was paying attention to was a talkative person from the beginning. Long talk becomes silent, because words can't get people across. No matter how much you talk, it's better to just do it.
