Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 179

The master and apprentice came out of the Monster Cave, went straight to the foot of the mountain, and returned to the original place, where the mountain god land of Jinxi Mountain had long been waiting.One of them was holding the rice that Sun Wukong had returned from alms.

As soon as the land saw Sun Wukong and others coming back, he gave the rice in his hand to Xuanzang, and said at the same time: "Holy monk, this bowl of rice was brought by Sun Wukong for his own benefit. Because you didn't listen to good words and fell into the demon The hand caused the great sage to work hard, and he was rescued today. Come and eat, and then go for a walk. Don't disappoint the great sage Sun's heart of respect and filial piety."

Xuanzang felt sad when he heard this, and said to Sun Wukong who was beside him: "Oh, Wukong! I regret not listening to your words as a teacher! That's why I suffered this catastrophe!"

Sun Wukong smiled when he heard Xuanzang's words, he knew that even if Xuanzang hadn't left his circle, he would have encountered this catastrophe!But Sun Wukong still said: "As long as the master doesn't blame my old grandson on the road in the future, it will be fine!"

A group of five shared the rice that Sun Wukong had brought back for alms, and continued westward after eating.But along the way, Xuanzang was a lot more polite to Monkey King, and Zhu Bajie, who was on the sidelines, kept nagging that Xuanzang was too kind to Monkey King!
In this noisy way, the five people came to a river. Xuanzang looked at it and saw that the water was clear and not too deep. You could see the bottom of the river from the bank, but it was strange that there was no water in the water. What kind of fish and shrimp!

Before Xuanzang could ask questions, Monkey King pointed to the thatched hut not far away and said, "Master! If you see a house in front of you, there must be someone crossing the river."

When Bajie heard Sun Wukong talk about someone, he touched his already hungry belly and shouted, "Ferryman! Come here with a punter!"

Bajie yelled several times, only to see the babbling and hoarseness in the shade of the willow, and finally a boat was pushed out.It was not until the boat reached the shore that the group of five noticed that the boatman was not a boatman, but a boatman.

A group of five people boarded the boat, Sun Wukong looked at the boatman and asked curiously: "Why don't you see the boatman who is punting the boat?" The boatman just smiled at the five people after hearing what Monkey King said, and didn't speak.

Zhang Xing was a little skeptical at first, but now that he heard Monkey King's words, he knew that everyone had come to Xiliang Daughter Country!Isn't this river water the Zimu River?Thinking of Xuanzang and Bajie with their stomachs puffed out later, Zhang Xing felt a little funny!

"Third brother! What are you laughing at? Is there something funny? Tell me, my old grandson, and smile!" But Sun Wukong, who was on the side, saw a smile on Zhang Xing's face and asked.

"Second brother! It's nothing, I just thought of some funny things!" Zhang Xing didn't mention Zimuhe, because this was also a catastrophe for Xuanzang. Zhang Xing said it now and destroyed the disaster. Zhang Xing is no longer familiar with the catastrophes that will occur in the future!In addition, this catastrophe did not cause any harm to Xuanzang, so Zhang Xing didn't say anything!

Sure enough, when the boat was in the middle of the river, Xuanzang suddenly said that he was thirsty, and asked Bajie to scoop up some water from the river with the purple gold bowl he usually used for alms. After taking a sip, he handed the bowl to Bajie, who also took a sip, and asked Monkey King, "Brother, are you thirsty? Is this water sweet?"

Sun Wukong shook his head and said with a smile that he was not thirsty. After that, Bajie asked Zhang Xing. Zhang Xing knew how to drink the water from the Zimu River, so he didn't ask for it.So Bajie asked Drifting, and Drifting also shook his head, but Zhang Xing found that Drifting looked at Xuanzang and Bajie who had drunk water with an inexplicable meaning in his eyes.This discovery moved Zhang Xing's heart, but he didn't say it.

After arriving at the shore, Xuanzang and Bajie suddenly felt pain in their stomachs. Monkey King didn't know what was going on. Quit drinking.Unexpectedly, the family was an old lady. Seeing the symptoms of Xuanzang and Bajie, the old lady asked them if they drank the water from the river when they came here. Monkey King answered yes. Afterwards, the old lady smiled and looked at Xuanzang. He Bajie said: "They have moved their fetuses!"

What the old woman said frightened Xuanzang and Bajie, so they asked her why she said that, and the old woman gave some reasons.

It turns out that this place is the Daughter Country of Xiliang, in which there are only women and no sons. When the women in the country reach the childbearing age, they will drink the water from the Zimu River. After drinking this water, they will become pregnant, and Xuanzang and Bajie will be married Accidentally got caught!Afterwards, Sun Wukong asked about the method of untying the fetus, so he carried a wooden bucket and flew towards Jieyang Mountain, Poerdong.

When Sun Wukong moved, Zhang Xing followed. Sun Wukong looked at Zhang Xing and asked, "Why did you follow, third brother?"

Zhang Xing said: "Just now I heard that old woman say that the owner of the Poer Cave has some skills. I'm afraid that if he doesn't fetch water for the second brother, it will be bad if he delays the mage and the canopy! After thinking about it, I'd better stay." The shutter general will take care of the mage, let's go fetch water!"

Hearing what Zhang Xing said, Monkey King agreed.The cloud speed of both of them was not slow, they arrived at Jieyang Mountain and Po'er Cave in the blink of an eye, when they met the cave master, the cave master in between glared at Zhang Xing and said: "You are the Heavenly General Gouchen! It was you who killed my nephew!" After speaking, he raised the sword in his hand and stabbed Zhang Xing.

The uncle of the red boy, the brother of the Bull Demon King Ruyi Zhenxian, although he has some skills, but it is no match for Zhang Xing and Sun Wukong's joint efforts. After a few rounds, he was taken down by Zhang Xing. After that, Sun Wukong went to fetch the spring water from Luotai Spring, But Zhang Xing said to True Immortal Ruyi: "Your nephew, why did I ever harm him? I told him to go to my master Guang Chengzi to practice. If you don't thank me, why do you still fight with me?"

"Why should I thank you! You took away my nephew, and caused my sister-in-law to cry all day long, and my elder brother also had a gap with my sister-in-law, why don't you blame me!" Seeing Zhang Xing, the real fairy wished to quibble He cursed when he opened his mouth.

Hearing what he said, Zhang Xing was speechless. How could the conflict between the Bull Demon King and the Iron Fan Princess have something to do with him? If the Bull Demon King himself hadn't been messing around outside, he wouldn't have had any conflicts with the Iron Fan Princess.

When Sun Wukong went to the spring, Zhang Xing didn't say anything to Ruyi Zhenxian, so he and Sun Wukong drove away on the cloud.

Back in the country of daughters, Sun Wukong fetched spring water for Xuanzang and Bajie. The two had a stomachache, and they recovered after going to the hut.Afterwards, Xuanzang was about to set off and walked towards the city of Xiliang Daughter Kingdom.

When the group of five arrived at the city, they were surrounded by the citizens of Daughter Country who heard the news. Fortunately, the king of Daughter Country sent soldiers to protect Xuanzang and his party. Afterwards, Xuanzang took Zhang Xing Several people entered the palace together, hoping that the king could press the pass document, but the king of the daughter country couldn't move his eyes after seeing Xuanzang and Zhang Xing.

The king of Daughter Country looked at Zhang Xing and said, "Why is the Taoist priest in this team going west to learn Buddhist scriptures?"

Seeing the king of Daughter Kingdom asking him how he was, Zhang Xing had no choice but to reply: "Poverty Dao was ordered by the King of Tang Dynasty to come to protect Master Xuanzang on his journey westward to obtain the scriptures!"

"Oh!" Glancing at Zhang Xing, the king of Daughter Kingdom said, "Then I wonder if Chang would like to stay and take charge of Daughter Kingdom with me?"

Shaking his head, Zhang Xing said: "The king's kindness is appreciated! It's just that the poor has long been interested in someone, and I hope His Majesty will forgive him!"

Hearing what Zhang Xing said, the king of Daughter Kingdom didn't bother Zhang Xing, but she said to Xuanzang who was beside her, "Brother Yu, do you have someone you like?"

After hearing this, Xuanzang got up quickly, bowed to the king of his daughter country, and said, "The king is joking! The poor monk is a monk, how can he have such an idea!"
