Chapter 49: Fire in the Heart
When the young man heard this, he resisted even more.
He threw away his luggage and umbrella, and the tortoise punched him like pear blossoms in a rainstorm.
The traveler's hand is like an iron hoop. No matter how hard he tries, he can't break free.
While Wukong was teasing this man, his other hand was able to catch his dropped umbrella and luggage.
Li Fu couldn't stand it, so he said to Wukong, "Disciple, let go of this benefactor."
"It's not like a gentleman to tease him like this."
"The lion hunts the rabbit with all its strength to survive, not to play tricks on."
"Wukong, how would you feel if you were treated like this?"
What Li Fu is talking about here is comparing one's heart to another's and having empathy.
What the traveler thought was that he had also had this moment.
Tathagata's huge five fingers played with him in the palm of his hand.
At that moment, he finally understood that he had achieved Taiyi Sanshu, achieved great success, and was ranked among the immortals, so what?
This vast world, the universe.
In the end, there is heaven beyond heaven, and there is immortality beyond immortality.
There is no difference between me and the person who traveled across the ocean to seek immortality and seek the Tao.
He let the boy go.
The young man glared at the traveler fiercely, and then looked at Li Fu on the white horse.
He saw that the monk was extremely beautiful, with a natural temperament, bright eyes and white teeth.
Even if he has a bald head, he still looks good.
Looking at it, he looks like an eminent monk.
He thought, "This great monk can stop this naughty behavior with just a few words. It doesn't matter even if I tell him the purpose of this place."
He said, "This is the borderland of Uzang, called Gao Laozhuang."
He pointed to Zhuangzi behind him and said, "More than half of the people here have the surname Gao, so they are called by this name."
He glanced at the traveler, then looked at Li Fu, "I've said everything I need to say, just let me go."
Wukong asked this side, "You are dressed up like this, don't you want to go somewhere nearby, what if you want to go the same way?"
"You tell me where you want to go and what you want to do, so I can let you go."
"Otherwise, if you have an accident in the future, my master is kind-hearted, and he will have trouble sleeping and eating."
After hearing Wukong's "human words", the young man said, "I am a member of the family of Grand Duke Gao of Gaolaozhuang, and my name is Gaocai."
"My great-grandfather has a daughter who is in her late teens and has never been betrothed to anyone else."
"Three years ago, a monster came to Gao Laozhuang and took possession of this sister."
"That goblin just became a bride-in-law, and my grandpa is not very happy about it."
"It's not a long-term thing to let others talk about having a goblin son-in-law."
"It ruined the family's reputation and cut off relatives."
"I told the monster that I wanted to break off the engagement, but the monster refused, so he took possession of the sister and locked her up in the back house. It has been half a year now, and she cannot see her family."
"My great-grandfather gave me some money, a few taels of silver, and taught me how to find a mage, slay demons, and get the goblin."
"I haven't stopped in the past six months. I have invited three or four people from all directions."
"But it's either a monk who can't help, or a Taoist priest who has a pustule."
"The goblin is still running rampant here."
"I told my grandpa that I couldn't do things, so he scolded me and said I couldn't do things."
"He also gave me five taels of silver as a means of transportation on the road, and taught me how to find the mage and get rid of the monster."
"As soon as I left my house, I was caught by you. I was angry both internally and externally, and felt angry inside."
"But I, the Grandfather inside, and you outside, can't do anything about it."
"I can only be so helpless and furious."
The young man looked resigned to his fate and said, "This is the truth. I've finished speaking. It's time to let me go."
The traveler laughed loudly when he heard the words, and his life was like a barbell becoming a spirit.
He said, "Wonderful! Wonderful!"
"I am your creation!"
"You have troubles, but I have the ability."
"You don't need to travel far, don't waste that money."
"We are not useless monks or Taoist priests with pustules."
"I refer to the prestige and fame, the blue sky above and the yellow spring below, no gods know it, no immortals know it."
"My specialty is subjugating demons."
"Excuse me, please go back to the village and tell the owner that we are the princes of the Tang Dynasty in the East and the holy monks who went to the West to obtain the scriptures. We are good at subjugating demons and exterminating them. We passed by here for your convenience."
Gao Cai said, "Don't lie to me, wasting time and delaying me from doing what is right. I am already angry, and I don't want to be scolded again."
"If you deceive me, there is no way to conquer demons. If you can't control the monsters, you will only hurt me."
Wukong patted his chest, making a "dong dong" sound, and said, "I won't let you be angry anymore. I will discipline you and make you feel refreshed. Just take me to the door of your house."
Gao Cai glanced at Li Fu again.
He felt that the holy monk on the white horse seemed to be really capable.
"Let's try again." He thought in his mind.
Gao Cai carried the package and umbrella, turned around and walked back, leading the two of them to the gate of Gao Taigong in Gaolaozhuang.
Gao Cai said politely, "Two elders, please rest here and wait for a while. I will go and report to the Grand Duke."
The traveler waved his hand, put down his burden, and led the dragon and horse. The master and apprentice with white horses were waiting by the door.
As soon as Gao Cai entered the gate, he met Gao Taigong before he reached the middle hall.
Gao Taigong scolded, "You beast! Why don't you go look for me? What will you do when you come back?"
Gao Cai put down his package and umbrella and said, "The villain reported to the master. When he reached the street, he met two monks."
"One of them rides a horse and the other carries a load."
"The burden bearer caught me and asked me where I wanted to go, but I didn't tell him."
"But he kept pestering me, and I had no choice but to explain the cause and effect to him."
"How did you know that the monk was so happy that he said that catching monsters was his specialty, and he wanted the villain to report it to his master."
Captain Gao said, "Did those two monks say what they were waiting for?"
Gao Cai replied, "The monk who carried the burden said that the monk on horseback was the prince and holy monk of the Tang Dynasty in the East, and he was going to the West to obtain the true scriptures."
Gao Taigong didn't know where Dongtu was, so he said, "Since the monk came from such a far away place, I'm afraid he really has some means. Where is he?"
Gao Cai said, "We are waiting outside the door now."
Upon hearing this, Grand Duke Gao hurriedly changed his clothes and went out with Gao Cai to greet him, chanting, "Elder, Elder."
Li Fu heard someone say this. He turned around and saw an old man.
The old man walked very quickly and had already arrived in front of Li Fu.
Although his clothes are not as extravagant as Elder Jinchi, but for this village, Yi is heroic.
He wears a black silk scarf on his head, a green-white Shu brocade garment with a greenish-white collar, and a pair of calf boots on his feet.
