19. Chapter 19(1/3)

On the other side.

The four masters and apprentices went west from Liusha River, climbed over the mountains, crossed the hills, from the beginning of the sun to the sunset, from midsummer to early autumn.

On that day, the four masters and apprentices rushed for several hours and finally saw a manor located in the green mountains and forests not far ahead.

This manor is very large, magnificent and elegant. There is a lotus pond in front of you. After walking onto the cool bridge, you can smell the elegant lotus fragrance emitted from the air.

The entire manor is made of powder mud walls, and various exquisite lotus patterns can be seen on the walls.

In front of the gate of the manor, there are a few tall and tall pine trees, and beside the slowly green pine trees, there are tender bamboos.

Looking at these lotus flowers and bamboos, for some reason, Sun Wukong remembered Guanyin Bodhisattva.

He remembered that Guanyin Bodhisattva's purple bamboo forest was famous for its lotus and green bamboo.

Although he hadn't been to Zizhu Forest, he heard that the scenery of Zizhu Forest is very beautiful, no worse than his Water Curtain Cave.

He should have been able to find Guanyin Bodhisattva by taking advantage of his eyes, but later his mother in Lishan cured his eyes, and the purple bamboo forest in the South China Sea was unable to be completed.

When you encounter a difficult monster next time, find another opportunity.

When Sun Wukong thought about this, he heard Sha Wujing beside him say, "What a big manor!"

"It's still a wealthy family!" Zhu Bajie also exclaimed with his eyes radiating. His tone was pleasant, his face was full of joy, and there was no trace of the sadness before: "I will definitely have a hot vegetarian meal tonight!"

As he said that, he couldn't help but speed up, and he was anxious to lead the White Dragon Horse toward the large manor. Because he was happy, he hummed a small song.

Zhu Bajie's reaction was normal. After all, before seeing this large manor, the four masters and apprentices had been sleeping in the wilderness for several days.

Tang Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Good, so good," although his emotions were not as exposed as Zhu Bajie, the joy between his eyebrows was enough to show his bright mood after seeing this manor: "Wukong, Wujing, let's go there too."

The cool bridge on the lotus pond is about fifty meters.

The master and apprentice quickly walked across Liangqiao and came to the gate of the manor.

I saw a pair of red paper Spring Festival couplets pasted on the golden lacquer cylinders on both sides of the gate.

Tang Sanzang looked at the couplets and slowly pronounced the words on the couplets: "The silk is floating on the lights and the bridge is still on the evening, learn some fragrant plums in the small courtyard."

After reading it, he couldn't help but sigh: "It's really wonderful."

"Oh..." Zhu Bajie waved his hand without interest. He really didn't understand it at this time. Tang Sanzang still had leisure and care about the elegance of a couplet: "Master, don't worry about whether the couplet is wonderful or not, it has nothing to do with us."

He finished muttering and touched his round belly: "Old pig, I'm almost hungry now, and I'm pressing on my back, so let's knock on the door!"

Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie: "Idiot, you can match three masters with just your size. Even if you are hungry for ten or eight days, you will never be able to put your chest on your back."

Zhu Bajie shook his hand at Sun Wukong: "Go to you, you will know how to tease me!"

Sha Wujing put down the luggage carrier, looked at the closed door in front of her, and then looked at Tang Sanzang again: "Master, are you knocking on the door now?"

When Tang Sanzang heard this, before he could speak, Zhu Bajie immediately said, "That's sure! Go in early and have vegetarian meals early!"

After saying that, he immediately walked to the door and raised his hand to knock on the door: "Is there anyone? Is there anyone there?" He shouted inside while knocking.

Zhu Bajie's voice has always been very loud and his voice is very loud, which is very full of mid-term sound.

After shouting, he pressed his face to the door to hear if there was any movement inside.

However, after a few seconds, Zhu Bajie received no response, nor did he hear footsteps inside the door.

So he knocked on the door twice and repeated, "Is there anyone there? No one?"

What responded to him was still silent.

Zhu Bajie frowned: "What's going on!"

Tang Sanzang paused: "But the owner of the manor is not at home?"

Sha Wujing nodded: "It's possible."

Zhu Bajie didn't want to believe this result, "Can I be too low?" He cleared his throat and prepared to increase the volume.

At this time, Sun Wukong, who had not spoken, said indifferently: "You may have a misunderstanding of your own voice."

Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie's eyes turned, and suddenly thought of something, and looked at Sun Wukong with a shiny look: "Brother, my good brother, you are so powerful, you should understand what I mean, right?"

He looked at Sun Wukong with a thrilling look and put his fat face close to Sun Wukong, showing a sense of pleasingness.

Sun Wukong stretched out his hand with disgust and pushed Zhu Bajie's face away: "Speak well."

Zhu Bajie said oh and said bluntly: "It's just that you fly in and see the situation first."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he didn't say anything, but his expression was loose.

After rushing for a long time, Sun Wukong's physical strength was also exhausted. Although he was not as anxious as Zhu Bajie, he actually wanted to enter the courtyard quickly and have some food to rest.

Instead of waiting here, it is better to go in and inquire first.

After thinking about this, Sun Wukong was about to nod, but Tang Sanzang, who was beside him, shook his head and said, "No."

Zhu Bajie raised his nose in anger: "Why is that not?"

"You cannot enter the courtyard without the consent of the master," Tang Sanzang's attitude was very firm: "For monks, we should seek refuge in front of the master's family with courtesy."

Zhu Bajie couldn't help rolling his eyes and said angrily: "Master, we all starve to death, so why bother with etiquette and what scriptures are there!"

Tang Sanzang frowned, "Bajie, you..."

Before he could finish his words, Sun Wukong's eyes suddenly turned, "Someone is coming."

Zhu Bajie's eyes lit up, and he quickly pressed his ears to the closed door: "Hey? Wherever you are, there is obviously no footsteps behind this door!"

Sha Wujing reminded: "Second Brother, the eldest brother is talking about the back."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately turned his body straight and looked back.

I saw a carriage slowly coming in the direction they were walking before.

Zhu Bajie looked at such a luxurious carriage and vaguely heard a few women's laughter from the carriage. He immediately said with joy: "Is it the owner of the manor back?"

As soon as the words were finished, the carriage had arrived in front of them.

In the car, a steady female voice came. Listening to this voice, it looked like a woman in her thirties.

"Who is staying in front of my house?"

Before Tang Sanzang could speak, Zhu Bajie could not wait to reply: "Female Bodhisattva, we came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to worship Buddha and pray for sutras. When we saw a manor here, we wanted to come and ask for food for food and borrow it for another night."

As he said that, he walked forward in two steps, stood on the side of the carriage with a smile, and raised his head and looked in through the gaps in the curtain.

"Bajie!" Tang Sanzang frowned, and grabbed Zhu Bajie who stretched his neck and tried to look inside: "You must not be rude."

Zhu Bajie did not struggle and took two steps back along with Tang Sanzang's force. At the end, he seemed to be afraid that Tang Sanzang would continue to nag, so he nodded and responded: "I know, I know."

Tang Sanzang then withdrew his hand and turned to look at the carriage.

At this moment, even if he couldn't see the person in the carriage, he still nodded slightly, put his hands together and performed a Buddhist tribute, and apologized for Zhu Bajie's reckless behavior just now: "Female donor, my disciple is so presumptuous, please forgive me."

Listening to Tang Sanzang's apology, the old mother in Lishan nodded at Fu Yin. Tang Sanzang was a person who knew the truth.

Li Shan’s mother lifted the curtain on the side of the carriage. She first glanced at Tang Sanzang, then swept over Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing one by one, and asked half-believingly: “Are you really a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East?”

"Mother," said Venerable Manjushri, who transformed into a woman in blue, deliberately: "We cannot believe what anyone says."

Hearing this delicate and crisp female voice, Zhu Bajie, who had retreated behind Tang Sanzang, suddenly felt excited and took a step to lean towards the carriage again.

Tang Sanzang patted Zhu Bajie's arm and said, "Bajie!" His originally gentle voice also became serious.

Sun Wukong walked forward, twisted Zhu Bajie's ear, dragged Zhu Bajie back and said, "You fool, don't cause trouble anymore."

Zhu Bajie covered his ears and said, "It hurts and it hurts... Oh, senior brother, please be gentle! I won't look at it if I don't look at it anymore!" Zhu Bajie screamed in pain, and his facial features on his face became distorted.

Sha Wujing, who was standing beside him, also said to Zhu Bajie in a slightly condemned tone: "Second Brother, you are always not a good person like this!"

Zhu Bajie snorted in dissatisfaction, rubbed his ears that were swollen from Sun Wukong, and said angrily: "One or two, you know how to talk about me!"

Tang Sanzang looked back at Zhu Bajie and signaled that Zhu Bajie was quiet. Then he continued to answer the question of Lishan’s mother: “Amitabha, female donor, we are indeed from the Tang Dynasty in the East.”

Li Shan’s mother was still a little suspicious: “I will say anything, how can I prove your identity?”

Tang Sanzang looked at Sun Wukong: "Wukong, take out the clearance disc." He has always handed over important objects such as clearance discs to his most powerful disciples for safekeeping.

"Give it." Sun Wukong was very tall, standing outside the carriage, and just raised his arm slightly, he easily handed the pass-through document to his mother Lishan.

When the old mother of Lishan saw his hands handing over, a smile appeared in her eyes.

She took the pass-through documentary, and Sun Wukong retreated, without looking around, trying to look into the carriage.

Tang Sanzang explained in a warm voice: "The handwriting on this pass-through document contains a handwriting written by the King of Tang himself. The female donor, the monk and the three disciples are definitely not bad people."

The mother of Lishan swept the words on the pass certificate and then handed them to Fu Yin sitting beside her: "Daughter, come and see if this certificate is fake."

Because the carriage is high, Tang Sanzang, who is standing outside at this moment, although he is very tall, due to the angle problem, he cannot see the situation inside the carriage.

While waiting, Tang Sanzang could only hear the slight sound of the pass certificate being flipped.

A moment later, a very pleasant voice came from the car: "Your surname is Tang, and your magic name is Sanzang?"

This voice is much calmer than the delicate and ethereal female voice just now, and the tone is also very special. It is not too light or too low, but it is a bit like the flowing water on a snow mountain, exuding a somewhat cold and refreshing joy.

Zhu Bajie's ears moved, and his mind that had just calmed down was aroused by the female voice again.

The sister's voice just now sounded nice, and the sister's voice made him even more itchy.

Zhu Bajie moved his footsteps, wanting to see what this good sister with such a nice voice looks like.

However, as soon as he made a move, Sun Wukong stepped forward, and his whole body blocked directly in front of him. He raised his chin slightly with his angular chin and hugged his arms with both hands and said, "It seems that you don't want your ears anymore, right?"

Zhu Bajie's body shook and instantly shook. Under Sun Wukong's sight, he quickly raised his hands to cover his ears and said with a smile: "Senior Brother, look at what you said, it hurts our brotherly feelings."
