Chapter 919 Sun Wukong’s transformation provokes the greedy monk Duanmu Huai and destroys Guanyin Yuan (Part 1)

 “Master————!”

When Duanmuhuai walked to the rocks, he saw the monkey with a gray head and a dusty face, rolling and crawling all the way towards him.

 “Yo, are you still alive?”

"Master, what did you do just now? Even the Buddha could turn his palm into a mountain and explode it. This is the first time I have seen such a skill!"

At this moment, Sun Wukong was also terrified. After all, the mountain just exploded on him. If the monkey hadn't been made of copper skin and iron bones, it would have turned into meat paste by now.

"hehe……"

Facing Sun Wukong’s words, Duanmuhuai just chuckled.

 “So, you are my disciple?”

“That’s right, from now on, I will be your master’s disciple! Meet the master!”

This monkey knows some politeness. When he heard Duanmuhuai's words, he hurriedly sang "O" and bowed down.

“Well, what methods do you have?”

 “Reply to Master, my old grandson……”

Hearing Duanmuhuai’s inquiry, Sun Wukong also started talking happily, but Duanmuhuai just listened with an unchanging expression. Of course, Duanmuhuai must know what Sun Wukong is capable of, but at least he has to go through the process.

Hmm, sure enough, when Sun Wukong talked about the seventy-two transformations, Duanmu Huai’s eyes flashed.

“You said, you know seventy-two changes?”

 “That’s right, Master.”

 “Okay, then do whatever you want.”

　　　　…………change to what?”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Sun Wukong looked confused, while Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows.

"Look, it's a long way to the West. You can't let Master walk on two legs, right? Turn into a big insect or something. Isn't it your duty as a disciple to carry Master on his back?"

　　　…………”

"Hurry up, if you can't do it with a big insect, you can do it with an elephant. If you have the ability, you can also transform into a Tyrannosaurus rex or a Triceratops or something. I won't pick it."

"This...master...you said this..."

I have to say that when faced with Duanmu Huai’s strange request, Sun Wukong felt bad. He looked up and down at Duanmu Huai, who was taller and burlier than himself, as strong as a monster, and he could see that he couldn't ride a horse like this. But he, the majestic Monkey King, transforms into a camel and goes to the West to learn scriptures?

 He has no face?

Anyone else would have dared to talk to Monkey King like this and smashed him down with a stick. But looking at Duanmu Huai’s fists as big as purple gold bowls... and then thinking about how he just blew up Wuzhishan...

“Master, please wait a moment while I, the old grandson, come up with a solution!”

As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong somersaulted and flew directly into the sky.

Duanmuhuai didn't take it seriously. He was not afraid that Sun Wukong would run away. After all, he was not the wimp in the original work. Without Sun Wukong to save him, he would have been eaten long ago. For someone like him, he still doesn't know whether the monster is eating him or he is eating the monster.

 After a while, Sun Wukong was seen riding the auspicious clouds back again, but it was different from before. This time, Sun Wukong was also holding a tall horse behind him, all pure white. He looks taller than Duanmu Huai, and his whole body is muscular. He looks like a good horse at first glance.

“Huh…Master, I’ve found it for you.”

Looking at Duanmu Huai now, Sun Wukong was also speechless in his heart. You must know that he was originally Bima Wen in the heaven, who was responsible for raising horses. Of course, Sun Wukong himself didn't want to mention this matter, and just regarded it as a black history. As a result, if he had no other choice, he would have to become a camel rider - this Sun Wukong would not do it even if he died.

So the monkey thought about it, and finally decided to go to the Tiangong to pull a Pegasus horse. After all, he, the majestic Monkey King, cannot be turned into a mount!

“This is a Pegasus horse from heaven. It can travel thousands of miles in a day without any problem. It is huge and strong. It is perfect for you to ride, Master..."

At this moment, Monkey ignored Bi Mawen's taboo and hurriedly introduced him to Duanmu Huai. After all, Bi Mawen is also an official, but the mount is not even an official, right?

 “It’s done, that’s it.”

 Fortunately, Duanmuhuai didn't mean to cause trouble for the monkey. Seeing that the horse in front of him did look like that, he nodded in agreement. After all, Tang Monk always rides a white horse when he goes out, so of course he has to ride a white horse to be like that.

So Duanmu Huai also took the cassock from the baggage and put it on him, then he got on the Pegasus horse and made a pose.

 “What do you think of me as a teacher?”

“Master, where did you beat up a monk, take out his luggage, and get this outfit?”

 “Get out!”

With the Pegasus, Duanmu Huai naturally no longer needs to walk, so he rides on the horse, and Sun Wukong leads the horse, and continues to wander toward the west.

Sun Wukong was also puzzled along the way. Looking at Duanmu Huai's appearance, he didn't look like a monk who devoted himself to worshiping Buddha. Why did he want to go to the west to obtain scriptures? So he took the opportunity to ask on the way.

“Master, you don’t look like a Buddhist monk, so why did you take this unjust path to the West to seek scriptures?”

 “It’s about taking, not asking for.”

Duanmuhuai glanced at Sun Wukong.

"The saint Avalokitesvara appeared in front of him and said that Mahayana Buddhism can save death and suffering, and live without deterioration. It can resolve the knots of hundreds of grievances and eliminate all disasters. The Sa family wants to see if this Buddhism really has this effect. If it does, Just grab it. If you are talking nonsense, don't blame the Sa family for turning against him in public and killing him in the Buddha Land of the West. Look at these thieves who still dare to talk nonsense and confuse the public!"

“…Master, you…”

Hearing Duanmuhuai's murderous words, even Sun Wukong was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.

Is this really the Buddhist scripture collector appointed by Guanshiyin?

 Could it be that Guanyin could not subdue him, so he asked me, the old man, to bear the thunder?

I think back when I, Old Sun, was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid I wasn't so lawless. While talking, the two of them walked forward, and Sun Wukong looked up and saw pavilions and buildings in the woods, and he also hurriedly changed the topic.

“Master, you see there is a house in front of you, either a palace or a temple. How about we go and take a look?”

The two of them walked forward and then came to the foot of the mountain. They saw that there were many temples on the mountain. It looked like a beautiful scenery. You could tell at a glance...

 “You can tell at a glance that this is not a good place.”

Duanmu Huai glanced at it and sneered.

 “Why did Master say this?”

 “Isn’t this simple?”

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai raised his hand and pointed to the Shanmen courtyard in front of him.

"This temple is far away in the mountains. It doesn't receive incense and has never seen pilgrims, but it is so luxurious and gorgeous. It costs a lot of money at a glance. Haha, the Buddha asked his followers to abandon their belongings every day, but they themselves are very diligent in using it, saying After all, this requires believers to leave everything behind, just to build houses and repair Buddha statues for them."

 Speaking of this, Duanmu Huai showed a cold smile. Of course he knew that this was Guanyin Temple. In fact, in the novel, the elders here were jealous of Tang Sanzang's cassock and tried to burn him to death and seize the cassock.

Of course, there are such temples, but the problem is that when Sun Wukong went to see Guanyin, Guanyin personally admitted that this temple was her Liuyun lower courtyard, which would be a big problem.

You see, when the monks in this temple saw Tang Sanzang's cassock, their first reaction was to kill people and seize the treasure. Moreover, there were swords and guns in the temple. You wouldn't believe it if you said it was their first time doing this. Moreover, you are a unit directly under Guanyin, and you all have this virtue. Does Guanyin really not know, or is he pretending not to know?

And at that time, Guanyin actually blamed Sun Wukong for taking out his cassock and showing off in front of others to cause trouble, instead of criticizing his own believers?

 Oh, if I don’t show off, you won’t rob me, so I’m still wrong, right?

Thinking about it again, in the novel, Guanyin changed into a skinny monk when she went to Chang'an, in order to warn others not to judge people by their appearance.

 In the end, your Liuyun lower courtyard was built so luxuriously?

Hmm, this reminded Duanmu Huai that he had read in the newspaper that a certain senior official who lived in a work unit dormitory and wore eighteen patches of clothing had several seaside villas abroad.

  Hahaha... It's a pity that Xitian doesn't have this unit, otherwise I think your Guanyin would be the one who was taken away on the spot during the Land and Water Conference one day.

Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes were slightly cold and he waved his hand towards Sun Wukong.

 “Come on, how about we play a fun game?”

 “Game? Master, what game?”

Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then came to Duanmu Huai's side. Then the master and the disciple whispered to each other for a moment, and then Sun Wukong's eyes also lit up.

“Is it really possible? Master?”

“Let’s give it a try, what do you think? Do you want to do it or not?”

“Of course, Master, just leave it to me, Grandson!”

 After a while, the two of them packed up and came to the door of the temple. At this moment, Sun Wukong had transformed. According to Duanmuhuai, he had become the fat and useless monk in Journey to the West. Duanmuhuai, wearing a bamboo hat and pretending to be a servant, led the horse behind.

When the two of them came to the door, they saw that the central door of the temple was wide open, and then several monks came out. The leading monk also hurriedly saluted.

 “May I ask where you two are from?”

Facing the monk’s inquiry, Monkey King’s Tang Monk also hurriedly put his hands together and saluted.

"I... No, I came from the Tang Dynasty in the east. I went to Leiyin Temple to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. It will be getting late here, so I want to stay in the temple for a night."

 “Oh, please come in, please come in…”

Hearing the answer, the monk inside also smiled and hurriedly invited him in. When he saw Duanmu Huai wearing a bamboo hat behind him, he was also frightened.

"Who is this……"

"Oh, he is my apprentice. He will accompany me all the way. With him by my side, I won't be afraid of bandits."

 “That’s true.”

Looking at Duanmu Huai holding a stick, the monk nodded without thinking too much. After all, this monk has traveled a long way to the West, and there must be many dangers on the way. It is indeed much safer to have such a disciple by his side.

 So under the guidance of the monks, the two of them came to the rear and met the abbot. I saw that the abbot had the same pointy ears and monkey cheeks as in the TV series, and was dressed luxuriously. At first glance, he did not look like a good person. Then there was a tea boy holding a mutton-fat jade tea tray and serving tea. Even the good tea in the cup was of the highest quality.

Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong looked at each other silently, each showing a trace of disdain. Although it is considered etiquette to entertain guests well, this is a monastery and you are not a wealthy official. Monks don't want to live in poverty all day long, but who do you show these crappy things to?

As expected, the abbot soon changed his tune and began to inquire about the net worth of Duanmu Huai and his party, and Sun Wukong had already taken out the cassock under Duanmu Huai's hint. After seeing Duanmuhuai's cassock, the old abbot's eyes naturally shone with joy. He asked to watch the cassock for one night and return it to everyone the next day. Sun Wukong naturally nodded in agreement under Duanmu Huai's suggestion.

After finishing the fast meal, the two of them went into the room to rest. As soon as Sun Wukong entered the room, he immediately transformed into his original form.

“Huh…Master, can you see it?”

"Of course, that bald guy's eyes were about to pop out. How could I not see it?"

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, Duanmu Huai sneered.

“You have good ears, what are these people’s plans?”

“Hey, there’s no need to plan, my old grandson has already heard it. These monks planned to give us a sweat medicine, then chop us with a knife and bury us in the backyard, and then get our cassocks, horses and horses. I feel very uncomfortable.”

"snort."

Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face darkened. In the novel, this group of monks set fire to the temple because Sun Wukong appeared in his true form at that time. The monkey didn't look like a human, so everyone was afraid of him. But he looked like a human being, so these monks were really cruel and ruthless - even if they said this was their first time doing something like this, Duan Muhuai wouldn't believe it.

“I thought they were going to chop us up and make human meat buns, but it seemed like they were close.”

As Duanmu Huai spoke, he stood up and clenched his fists.

 “Then, let us teach them a lesson!”
