Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 160

Seeing the monster that suddenly appeared into the water, Xuanzang came back to his senses at this moment, and said to Monkey King: "Oh, Wukong! This big river is already difficult, but now there are monsters making trouble in this river, what should we do?"

Sun Wukong was also a little bit embarrassed when he heard Xuanzang's question. If Sun Wukong was a monkey monster, his skills on land are not too bad, but his skills in water make him embarrassed!
Just when Sun Wukong didn't know how to speak, Bajie and Zhang Xing walked over, and Bajie had sharp ears, and when he heard Xuanzang's question to Monkey King, Lao Zhu immediately paid attention.

"Hey! Master, don't worry about this, my old pig has a solution!"

"Oh!" After hearing Bajie's words, Xuanzang turned his gaze to Bajie and asked, "Bajie doesn't know how you can cross this quicksand river?"

"Master, you don't know. Before I was demoted, my old pig was also the canopy marshal of the Heavenly Kingdom. He used to be in charge of the [-] navy in the Tianting Tianhe. The underwater skills are not bad. If Brother Zhang is to accompany me The next time the old pig goes into the water, I, the old pig, will definitely get rid of the monster and let the master cross the river!" Zhu Bajie heard Xuanzang's question and hurriedly shared his thoughts with Xuanzang.

As soon as Xuanzang heard that his second apprentice had a way to get rid of the water monster, he smiled and said, "Okay, then I will trouble the national teacher and Ba Jie to go down the water and get rid of the monster!"

Zhang Xing didn't expect that Zhu Bajie would pull him in, but Zhang Xing knew that the monster in the Liusha River was the later Sha Monk, so he wanted to see the details of the most mysterious and honest Sha Monk among the Buddhist scriptures first. .

Thinking of this, Zhang Xing said: "I know a thing or two about this water battle. Since Bajie wants me to go with him, it's just a matter of time for me to exercise my hands and feet."

Seeing that Zhang Xing also agreed, Bajie was overjoyed and said good things about Zhang Xing.After that, Zhang Xing and Ba Jie walked to the edge of the Liusha River and jumped into the water of the Liusha River.

Zhang Xing took a trick to avoid water and swam to the bottom of the Liusha River together with Bajie.Although the quicksand river is wide, its depth is not too deep.In just a cup of tea, Zhang Xing and Ba Jie came to the bottom of the Liusha River.Zhang Xing stepped on the mud at the bottom of the river but would not sink. Looking around, Zhang Xing said, "Bajie, we have come down, but how are we going to find that monster?"

"Hehe! Brother Zhang, this is not easy, look at me, old pig!" Zhu Bajie didn't explain anything after speaking, just stood there motionless, sticking out his nose, as if he was sniffing something.After a while, Zhu Bajie said, "I found it! Brother Zhang, follow me."

Seeing that Zhu Bajie said he had found the monster, Zhang Xing was surprised, but he didn't say much, and walked forward with Bajie.Not long after walking, a water mansion appeared in front of Zhang Xing and Bajie.Looking at the water mansion in front of him, Zhang Xing took a look at Zhu Bajie, but he didn't expect this old pig to have such abilities.

When he came to the water mansion, Zhu Bajie began to yell and curse.But I don't know if the monster has come back. I know that Zhu Bajie is tired of scolding, and the monster doesn't come out.

Seeing that the monster was going to be a turtle, Zhu Bajie had no choice but to sit on the ground in front of the gate of the water mansion with a rake.

Just when Zhu Bajie was about to go down, a figure jumped out from the grass next to him and killed Zhu Bajie who was about to sit down.

Zhu Bajie is not a simple person, after all, he once served as the Marshal of the Canopy, but he felt abnormal when he just sat down, and then he felt a killing intent behind his back.

Turning over, he picked up the rake in his hand, and Zhu Bajie blocked the rake in his hand without looking behind him.

"Dang!" As soon as Ba Jie put his hands behind him, he heard the sound of a weapon clanging, and then felt a huge force pushing him back.

Before Bajie could stand still, he felt a stabbing pain in his back.But at this time, Bajie had no choice.But at this moment, a war halberd appeared behind Bajie, standing between the monster and Bajie.

The monster didn't panic when he saw Zhang Xing appeared, so he swung the weapon in his hand and hit Zhang Xing.

Seeing that the monster did not retreat but advanced, Zhang Xing felt a burst of joy, because Zhang Xing's hands were itchy during this time, thinking of this, he waved the halberd in his hand and fought the monster.

After fighting, Zhang Xing found that this monster was not easy, and even fought him for more than 20 rounds without losing the wind.

"It seems that Monk Sha's identity is really not simple! But it's time!" Thinking in his heart, Zhang Xing hit Monk Sha with all his strength.After Zhang Xing showed his power, Monk Sha couldn't stop Zhang Xing. In just three or four rounds, Zhang Xing was forced to parry and had no time to fight back. At this moment, Ba Jie joined in. When the battle was over, he hit the monster on the back with a rake. The monster didn't expect Zhu Bajie to make a sudden attack, and Zhu Bajie knocked him to the ground with a rake when he didn't pay attention.

At this moment, Zhang Xing also followed, and caught the monster right away.Seeing that he caught the monster, Bajie smiled and said, "Brother Zhang, how about this old pig?"

Zhang Xing just smiled when he heard Bajie's words and didn't say anything.But at this time, the captured monster said: "You pig monster, what's your ability to sneak attack from behind? If you have the ability to fight me for [-] rounds, you will definitely hit your pig's head. Hey! What a pity I didn't expect me to roll the curtain The general has fallen to such a point, Bodhisattva, I will not be able to fulfill your orders!"

Hearing the monster say that he is a pig monster, Zhu Bajie was planning to kill the monster, but Zhu Bajie was surprised by what he said later, and asked: "You said you are the general of the shutter?"

The monster just snorted coldly and ignored Bajie beating him.But Bajie didn't mind, and continued to ask: "You said you couldn't fulfill the Bodhisattva's order, what's the matter?"

The monster still didn't answer Zhu Bajie's words, but when Zhu Bajie got impatient, a voice suddenly came into the water: "Sha Wujing, the Buddhist scriptures have arrived, why don't you come to see him?"

Hearing this, the monster, who was silent at first, suddenly struggled and shouted: "Bodhisattva, save me, Bodhisattva, save me."

Seeing the monster like this, Bajie took the monster and Zhang Xing and flew towards the talking face.On a surface of water, Mu Zha, a disciple of Guanyin Bodhisattva, was seen standing on the cloud.As soon as the monster saw Mu Zha, he said, "Please help Mu Zha!"

Mu Zha glanced at Zhang Xing and Ba Jie and said, "What's going on with you? This Sha Wujing is the third disciple chosen by the Bodhisattva for Master Xuanzang. I don't know how you arrested him."

Hearing what Mu Zha said, Ba Jie knew he had misunderstood!So he released the monster, and under the witness of Mu Zha, Xuanzang accepted Sha Wujing and gave him a dharma name: "Monk Sha!"

After Monk Sha entered the Buddhist scriptures group, he used the heads of the nine Buddhist scriptures around his neck and the gourd of the Bodhisattva to turn into a boat and cross the Liusha River.
