Seeing that Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun and accepted Jiuling Yuansheng, Sun Wukong and Zhang Xing descended to the Jiuqu Lianhuan Cave, fought all the way in, and rescued Xuanzang, Bajie, Sand Monk and Yuhua inside. Wang's family
Out of the cave, Sun Wukong explained to Xuanzang that it was Taiyi who saved him this time with the help of Tianzun, so as soon as he got out of the cave, Xuanzang saw Taiyi who was sitting on the nine-headed lion. Hurry to salute.

Taiyi rescued Ku Tianzun raised his hand, and stopped Xuanzang, who wanted to salute, and said at the same time: "Tang Sanzang, you don't have to salute to me, if it wasn't for my lax supervision, I wouldn't have let you suffer this catastrophe." So it is right to save you!"

Xuanzang is a bull-tempered person. Although Taiyi Saved the Ku Tianzun said so, he still wanted Taiyi to save the Ku Tianzun to salute. In the end, he had no choice but Taiyi Saved the Ku Tianzun to accept his gift.

After accepting Xuanzang's gift, Taiyi said a few words to save Ku Tianzun, and then left with Jiuling Yuansheng!
It wasn't until Taiyi rescued the suffering Tianzun that he left King Yuhua that he asked Xuanzang, "I don't know what the name of this god is?"

Sun Wukong laughed after hearing King Yuhua's words: "The god who saved you just now is Taiyi Saves Kuku Tianzun, known as Dongji Qinghua Emperor, and is one of the six emperors in the heaven. Because he influenced the ten directions, he is also called Shifang. Save Ku Tianzun, this god has great abilities and outstanding virtues, and he is a rare god in the heavens that my grandson admires!"

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, King Yuhua knew about Taiyi Saving Ku Tianzun, and after returning to Yuhua City, he built a temple for Taiyi Saving Ku Tianzun. The incense continued to increase, and in the end even people around Yuhua City believed in Taiyi to save Ku Tianzun!

When Sun Wukong talked about Taiyi Saving Ku Tianzun, Zhang Xing remembered the legend in his previous life, someone turned Taiyi Saving Ku Tianzun into a real Taiyi.Thinking of this, Zhang Xing laughed a little. This Tianzun Taiyi saves Kuku is one of the three thousand listeners in Zixiao Palace, and he is also one of the six emperors in the current court, and the real Taiyi is a disciple of Tianzun Yuanshi. The status and status of these two people differ greatly, how could they be the same person!

From autumn to winter, after the catastrophe of Yuhua City, Xuanzang and his party were detained by King Yuhua for a few more days. After that, King Yuhua couldn't see the time, so he had to let Xuanzang, Zhang Xing, Sun Wukong and others went west.

Leaving Yuhua City, Xuanzang and his party walked for another four or five days. This was another city in front of them. However, there were no banners or house numbers on this city, so no one in Xuanzang and his party knew where they were. This is He Cheng.

After entering the city, Xuanzang walked a few steps, just in time to see a temple appearing in front of him.Seeing the temple in front of him, Xuanzang was overjoyed, and led Zhang Xing and Monkey King to the temple.

After arriving at the temple, the abbot of this temple is a virtuous person, without putting on any airs, he came out to meet Xuanzang and his party in person.

After sending Xuanzang and others to the hall, the host chatted with Xuanzang. After saying this, the host asked where Xuanzang was from, and Xuanzang didn't hide anything and directly said that he was from the Eastern Tang Dynasty , who came to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures.

When the host heard that Xuanzang was from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, he respected Xuanzang like his family. After some conversation, the host wanted to keep Xuanzang and others to stay for a few more days. Xuanzang naturally did not want to delay the study. process.

Seeing this, the residence said to Xuanzang: "The mage is from the Tang Dynasty in the east. I am afraid that I have forgotten the time after walking on the road for many years! Today is the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, and in two days it will be the fifteenth day of the first lunar month!" "

"Oh!" Sure enough, after listening to the host's words, Xuanzang hesitated for a moment, and said: "I was traveling all the way west, and I was always worried about encountering demons and demons. It's a Lantern Festival!"

The host heard the sound of the strings and knew the elegant meaning, and when he heard Xuanzang's emotion, he knew that Xuanzang wanted to stay, so the host hurriedly invited Xuanzang to stay.

Xuanzang was really moved by the host's words, so after the host persuaded him, he agreed.

Two days later, the Lantern Festival on the 15th of the first lunar month.

Xuanzang already knew in the communication with the host that this place is the outer county of Tianzhu, Jinping Mansion, and the customs here are not much different from those of the Tang Dynasty, so after Xuanzang went to the street, he saw a crowd of people putting up lanterns , a scene of laughter and joy.

The colored lanterns in Jinping Mansion are somewhat different from those of Dongtu Datang, but the degree of excitement is not much less than that of Dongtu Datang. On the street, people who buy lanterns, candied haws, and sachets can be found everywhere. Yes, there are also many people who guess lantern riddles and eat glutinous rice balls. It's true: everyone is happy, and everyone is smiling.

Xuanzang was led by the host along the way, and followed the monks in the temple to play in Jinping Mansion. Zhang Xing, Sun Wukong Bajie, and Drifting Monk could not follow Xuanzang for a while, but today is the Lantern Festival, and Sun Wukong and others He wasn't worried at all, but Zhang Xing knew that Xuanzang still had a catastrophe to go through tonight.

The host and his party walked to a golden bridge. There were three large vats on the golden bridge, and a wick was burning in the vats.

Seeing this scene, Xuanzang asked the host curiously: "Master, I don't know what this means?" Xuanzang pointed to the three big vats on the golden bridge.

Looking in the direction of Xuanzang's finger, the host said: "This is a characteristic of our place. There is a county in our Jinping Prefecture. This county produces a kind of sesame oil called crispy oil. This kind of sesame oil is so fragrant. It smells very good, and after avoiding lighting the lamp for three days, the lamp will be extinguished!"

After listening to the host's words, Xuanzang became more curious about the crispy sesame oil, so he continued to ask: "Why can you only order it for three days? I think there are quite a lot of them! Even if you order it for ten days and half a month Is there no problem?"

Hearing Xuanzang's question, the host laughed and said, "That's because these crispy sesame oils are so good, and a Buddha came to search for these crispy sesame oils."

Xuanzang was a Buddhist believer, now he heard what the host said, he was curious, and was about to ask what happened to this Buddha, when suddenly there was a whistling wind in the air, and the people watching the lanterns in the city fled in all directions.

"Master, let's go! The Buddha is coming! Let's not disturb them!" After speaking, he wanted to drag Xuanzang away.Xuanzang is a Buddhist believer. Hearing the appearance of the Buddha, Xuanzang said to the host: "Old host, we are disciples of Buddhism. Why does the Buddha leave instead of going to see the ceremony? I think we should go to see him." Let's see Buddha!"

Although the host was a little moved by Xuanzang's words, he still shook his head. Seeing that the host was unwilling, Xuanzang walked up the golden bridge by himself and wanted to meet the Buddha himself.

Xuanzang walked onto the golden bridge, and before he saluted, he felt a black wind blowing towards him. Xuanzang's mortal body could not move, and he was blown away by the black wind!
Just when the black wind was blowing Xuanzang, a loud roar came from behind: "Where did the monster come from, dare to attack my master!"
