Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 169 Pingdingshan Golden Horn and Silver Horn

Xuanzang and his party were entertained by Kui Mulang for a few days because of Zhang Xing, and finally Kui Mulang let them go west to learn Buddhist scriptures under Xuanzang's repeated insistence.

Before leaving, Zhang Xing said to Kui Mulang: "Brother Mulang, since sister-in-law has recovered her memory, you can take her to meet her parents in this life!"

After speaking, Zhang Xing ignored Kui Mulang's reaction, turned around and left.

Kui Mulang embraced his wife, Princess Baihua, and looked at Zhang Xing who was slowly disappearing into the horizon, and murmured: "Brother Zhang! I hope you all have a good journey! Get the scriptures as soon as possible!"

Xuanzang and his party walked through Wanzi Mountain and arrived at Baoxiang Kingdom after walking for a few days. Because of Zhang Xing, Xuanzang did not accept the task of rescuing the princess this time, because Zhang Xing told him that Kui Mulang had passed away. I will take the princess back to see the old king some time.

Having overshadowed the customs clearance documents, Xuanzang and his party walked for dozens of days without eating and sleeping overnight. On this day, another mountain blocked the way westward.

Although the mountain is high, it can't stop everyone's determination to go west.Not long after going up the mountain, an old man shouted to Xuanzang and his party not far away: "Masters! Don't go any further! There are two fierce monsters living on the mountain ahead, and they have eaten all the passers-by in the past. Already!"

Xuanzang was originally full of ambition, but when he heard the old man say that the monster had eaten a lot of people, he was so frightened that he almost fell off his horse!

"Old man Wu! Do you know the names of those two monsters? What are their abilities?" Sun Wukong asked the old man when he heard that.

"Hehe! This old man really knows something!" After saying that, the old man paused and continued: "The name of this mountain is Pingdingshan. There is a lotus cave in the mountain. There are two monsters living in the cave. One of the two monsters is called Jinjiao. The Great King, the other one is called the Great King Yinjiao. They are very capable. Huayingtu specializes in arresting monks, and they also want to arrest monks from the Tang Dynasty. Everything related to "Tang" will be caught and eaten by them! But the most powerful Those two monsters have five treasures, and these five treasures are extremely powerful!"

"Oh! I don't know what these five treasures are?" Zhang Xing suddenly said to the old man.

The old man followed the voice and looked at Zhang Xing, and said with a smile: "Your team is funny, there are Buddhas and Taoists! But I don't know what those five treasures are, I only know that they are very powerful!"

After the old man finished speaking, he walked a few steps and disappeared without waiting for Zhang Xing and the others to inquire!

Seeing this scene, Bajie was startled and said, "Oh! Master! We are out of luck and met a ghost!"

"Idiot! What are you talking about? How did we meet a ghost? Let me take a look!" After speaking, Monkey King opened his eyes and looked around.

After looking around, Sun Wukong didn't see anything. He looked up and saw the daily meritorious Cao in the air who was about to disappear.

Seeing the daily meritorious service, Sun Wukong understood what was going on!So they came to report!Sun Wukong was about to catch up and ask for clarification, but the daily meritorious officer just bowed his hands and disappeared!
With the report from the daily meritorious service officer, Sun Wukong was naturally more careful along the way!Beware of Xuanzang being caught and eaten by monsters again!

But for some unknown reason, they didn't meet half a living person along the way, let alone a monster!

Seeing this scene, Zhang Xing and Sun Wukong looked gloomy, but Bajie said incomprehensibly: "Master! Look, we have been walking for a long time, and we haven't even seen a hair! What kind of monster is there! Could it be that Brother Hou threatened us again?"

Hearing Bajie's words, Monkey King was furious!He opened his mouth and said, "You idiot! What do you know? Since Bajie said that there are no monsters, Master, why don't I ask Bajie to take a look?"

Xuanzang looked hesitant at first, but when he heard what Sun Wukong said, he nodded and said to Bajie: "Wu Neng! Just work hard! Go to the mountain and have a look!"

When Bajie heard Xuanzang's words, his pig face turned into a bitter melon face, and he wanted to slap himself twice!What kind of mouth is this!It was fine at first, but I just wanted to be cheap, now it's all right!Monkey Sun caught the opportunity!
Bajie looked at Xuanzang pitifully, and said as if saying goodbye: "Master! My old pig is going to patrol the mountains! Take care, old man! If I"

Before Bajie finished speaking, he was kicked away by Monkey King!Faintly Zhang Xing heard Zhu Bajie shout: "You dead monkey, I will come back!"

Bajie went to patrol the mountains!Xuanzang decided to take a break with the group and wait for Bajie to come back.Not to mention that Xuanzang and his party were sitting and resting, but that Bajie was kicked away by Monkey King.Not long after flying, he fell to the ground. Fortunately, Zhu Bajie's fat bang gave him a lot of strength, otherwise the fall would have been miserable.

Zhu Bajie patted the dust on his body, and cursed: "A dead monkey, you know how to bully me! Why don't you come to patrol the mountains! If you encounter monsters, I will be a widow in Cuilan!"

Bajie was walking while cursing, but he didn't notice two little monsters coming from the opposite side. These two little monsters, one is called Lilyworm and the other is called Elven Ghost. They were originally little monsters on Pingdingshan, but today they were captured by Golden Horn. The king sent out to find the monks from the Tang Dynasty.Holding a few portraits of Xuanzang and his party in their hands, they said as they walked, "Elves! Why do you think the king asked us to find this monk of the Tang Dynasty?"

"Smart, you don't know this! Let me tell you, I secretly heard that the king can live forever if he eats a piece of meat from the monk of the Tang Dynasty. The reason why the king asked us to find him is to live forever!" The shrewd elf said to the clever worm as if I understood.

"Oh oh oh! So that's the case! But how can we find this monk from the Tang Dynasty on such a large Pingdingshan?" Li Lichong nodded as if taught, and asked the elf beside him.

"Uh!" Hearing the question from Li Chong, the elf ghost rolled his eyes and saw Zhu Bajie who had been cursing Sun Wukong in front of him.Seeing Zhu Bajie's elf ghost's eyes brighten, he said to Li Chong: "There is a man over there! Let's ask him to see if he knows where the monks from the Tang Dynasty are?"

The clever worm also felt good when he heard the elf's words, so he walked towards Zhu Bajie.

"Stop in front! I'll ask you a question! If you don't answer well, we'll eat you!" said the elf ghost, looking at Zhu Bajie with his head bowed.

Zhu Bajie was scolding in a good way, when he suddenly heard someone calling him, he raised his head, as soon as he looked up and saw the appearance of elves and clever worms, Zhu Bajie shouted: "Monster!"

And the elves and clever insects were startled when they saw Zhu Bajie's face like a pig, and Zhu Bajie shouted at the same time: "Monster!"

After shouting, the three of them seemed to understand something, looked at each other and said, "You are a monster on this mountain!" "You seem to be Zhu Bajie, the second senior brother under the Tang Dynasty monk!"

Then the three of them glanced at each other at the same time and ran back immediately.The ghost running is to report the news to Jinjiaoyinjiao, while Zhu Bajie runs purely for fear of death!

Xuanzang and his party waited for a while, and were about to ask Sun Wukong to find Zhu Bajie, when suddenly they heard Zhu Bajie's unique voice shouting: "It's not good! Master! Big Brother, Brother Zhang! There are really monsters on this mountain!"

Just as Zhang Xing raised his head when he heard the voice, he saw Zhu Bajie running towards them with a pig's head on his head.
