Tang Seng was just angry for a moment, so he said the words to drive away Sun Wukong. No, he regretted it as soon as he said it.

Tang Seng also knew that with his mortal body, it was simply impossible for him to cross thousands of mountains and rivers to reach Lingshan Mountain in the West. Once he lost Sun Wukong as his helper, I'm afraid there would be no need to obtain this sutra.

In fact, Sun Wukong also regretted it a little. After all, Tang Seng did rescue him from the Five Elements Mountain. With Sun Wukong's character, he was still very grateful to Tang Seng.

Moreover, the path to obtain the Buddhist scriptures is indeed a golden avenue that leads to attaining the golden body and attaining enlightenment. It would be a pity if we really lost this path.

Both of them were angry, but they didn't want to speak too harshly, so they both fell silent for a while.

Xiao Yi saw some of the inner thoughts of the two people, so he opened his mouth and smoothed things over: "Elder! Brother Monkey! You can become master and disciple. This is because you have the relationship between master and disciple, or the beautiful fate of realizing the Tao together. You should

You should cherish it, how can you give up so easily?"

Seeing that neither of them objected, Xiao Yi came up with a plan and said: "Elder Tang, Brother Monkey said you are a pustule, then you can prove it to Brother Monkey and tell him with the facts that you are not a pustule."

In Tang Sanzang's mind, the great cause of learning scriptures was the most important, so he said, "Prove it? How can a poor monk prove it?"

Seeing that Tang Monk relented, Xiao Yi felt relieved and said to Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, how about you do this test of the elder? If the elder passes, Brother Monkey will wholeheartedly protect the elder and go west.

How is it?"

But Sun Wukong shook his head and said: "How can you let the apprentice test the master? If this spreads out, others will not say that I deceived the master and destroyed the ancestors? Where will I put my old face at that time? Xiao will still be responsible for the test.

Brother, do it!"

Xiao Yi thought for a while, and finally smiled slightly and said: "Elder, Brother Monkey! There is a universal festival among mortals called the New Year. How about we use this 'year' to test the elders?"

"New Year?" The elder and Sun Wukong were stunned at the same time.

"The poor monk is just a mortal. In this deep mountain and old forest, there is neither red paper nor firecrackers. How can the poor monk escape the cruel 'year'?" Tang Monk couldn't help but become anxious after hearing Xiao Yi's test method.

Sun Wukong also said: "Brother Xiao, 'Nian' is the most ferocious beast among the innate creatures. My master is just a mortal, how can he pass the 'Nian' level?"

Xiao Yi smiled and said nothing to the two people's objections.

Because it was about his own life and death, Tang Seng, who had always been afraid of death, couldn't help but be as anxious as an ant in a pot, spinning around.

Sun Wukong was still smart. After thinking about it quietly, he soon understood.

I wanted to tell Tang Seng, but when I saw Tang Seng's anxious look, I couldn't help but said angrily: "Master, the 'Nian' will not come out for another six days. You have plenty of time to prepare. Why are you anxious?"

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Monk realized that in these six days, as long as he could find red paper or firecrackers, he could scare away the Nian beast.

Xiao Yi advised Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, to you, the Nian beast is just an acquired ferocious beast, not worth mentioning. However, the elder is just a mortal. When faced with a ferocious beast, it is either life or death, so it is reasonable to be anxious.

middle."

"Okay. As long as you, master, can escape the Nian beast, I will wholeheartedly protect you from going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and I will never mention a word about it again." Sun Wukong finally nodded.

Xiao Yi smiled and summoned the Silver Fire Wolf, soared into the clouds and said, "Brother Monkey, I'm going to look around to see if there is any trace of the Nian Beast."

Xiao Yi rode the silver fire wolf and searched carefully in the air.

Xiao Yi is not worried that Tang Monk will not be able to survive the New Year, because in six days, Tang Monk and Sun Wukong will always encounter a bamboo forest, right? With a bamboo forest, they can use firecrackers to scare away the Nian beast.

Even if Tang Monk was so unlucky that he couldn't see the bamboo forest for six days, after the gods and Buddhas in the sky knew about it, even if there were no firecrackers, someone would probably help Tang Monk get firecrackers and red paper.

What's more, the horse Tang Monk is riding is a white dragon horse. The dragon energy emitted by the white dragon horse is enough to scare away the 'Nian' in the acquired realm.

Nian beast is shaped like a lion with one horn. Nian beast is ferocious in nature. It specializes in eating birds, animals, and scale insects. It changes its taste every day and eats 365 kinds of animals, ranging from kowtowing insects to large living humans.

The day of cannibalism happened to be day 365.

Xiao Yi rode the Silver Fire Wolf and searched everywhere. Four days later, he finally found a Nian Beast. Xiao Yi was already an Earth Immortal. Catching a Nian Beast was just a matter of raising his hand.

When Xiao Yi brought Nian Beast back to Yingchou Stream, he searched all the way and found a temple next to the mountain road in Luojia Mountain.

"Lishe Temple? Isn't this specially created by the mountain god of Luojia Mountain when he sent the saddle and whip to Tang Monk when he received Guanyin's errand? Why is it still here? Are Tang Monk and Monkey Brother still inside?" Xiao

Also thought of.

Xiao Yi stepped forward and knocked on the door of the temple. The person who opened the door was an old man with a blue face and a swollen nose.

When we entered the temple, we saw Tang Monk and Sun Wukong inside.

When Sun Wukong saw Xiao Yi coming back, he knew that Xiao Yi had caught the Nian Beast. He couldn't help scratching the back of his head and said: "Well! Brother Xiao, let the Nian Beast go!"

After saying this, Sun Wukong pointed to a pile of firecrackers in the courtyard.

After Xiao Yi saw the pile of firecrackers, he couldn't help but be startled: "Uh! This...is this mountain god too helpful?"

Isn't that right? The yard was filled with a pile of firecrackers that looked like a small mountain. This could allow Monk Tang to burn the firecrackers all by himself until dawn, so he still had to worry about the New Year Beast?

When Xiao Yi looked at the old man again, he finally understood why the old man's face was bruised and his nose was swollen. It was probably because Sun Wukong was angry and beat up the old man turned from the mountain god of Luojia Mountain.

Faced with this situation, Xiao Yi could only sigh: "Tang Monk, the reincarnation of the golden cicada, does have a tough background!"

Although Tang Seng has no strength at all, what he represents behind him is the entire Buddhism. In order to help Tang Seng, a representative of Buddhism, the mountain god of Luojia Mountain would rather suffer a beating from Sun Dasheng.

Fortunately, Sun Wukong also wanted to reconcile with Tang Monk and achieve Buddhahood together, so he just beat up the mountain god of Luojia Mountain and stayed in this temple temporarily to wait for Xiao Yi.

Xiao Yi asked Silver Fire Wolf to return to Xiaoyao Villa first, and Xiao Yi drove the red cloud, turned into a rainbow, and headed east, turning directly to Chang'an City.

When Xiao Yi came to Chang'an City, it was already dark, and today was New Year's Eve, so the entire streets of Chang'an City were filled with red lanterns, firecrackers were sounding non-stop, and there was a constant flow of people on the streets.

Although the Nian beast has gone to the deep mountains and old forests and does not dare to come out to eat people again, people do not dare to forget the tradition easily and still insist on putting up red paper and setting off firecrackers every year.

However, New Year's Eve at this time has become a joy.

Performing acrobatics, strolling through flower streets, guessing lantern riddles, celebrating the New Year, and finally the most solemn event of ringing the bell to pray.

Xiao Yi looked down from the air, taking in the lively scene below at a glance, and thought to himself: "I also came to experience the ancient New Year's Eve."

PS: Because I am going to my grandma’s house today, I updated it in advance.

In addition, there will be another update in the evening, but it will be a little later.
