Chapter 321: The Peak of Mount Tai, the Luck of Humanity
"This is a water-repelling bead. It's a little careless and disrespectful."
"If the holy monk has any instructions in the future, he may come to the South China Sea. The little king will give his full help. If the little king is not here, my son Moang can handle it with full authority on behalf of the little king." The Dragon King solemnly made a promise.
A small water-repelling bead is obviously not enough to repay Tang Sen's kindness.
Thinking about it, he waved his hand again, and the dark clouds in the sky suddenly moved.
What fell was not rain, but large lobsters, abalones, sea cucumbers, all kinds of delicious fish and shark fins, etc.
But the miraculous thing is that when it fell to the ground, it was as if there was a quilt on the ground. The seafood was not injured, and some fish were still alive and kicking.
Tang Sen looked at the rain of delicious food, his joy clearly revealed, and the smile on his face became much more sincere.
Seeing the smile on Tang Sen's face, the Dragon King nodded with satisfaction, saying that his careful preparations were not in vain.
"I heard from my nephew that the holy monk has a special liking for these seafood. Xiao Wang happens to have a lot of them, so he also brought some to the holy monk this time to express his feelings. Don't dislike the holy monk." The Dragon King said with a smile,
He stroked his long white beard happily.
"The elder gave it to me, but I dare not refuse it, but I am disrespectful. I am ashamed to receive it. Thank you Dragon King for your generosity." Tang Sen quickly accepted it. So much seafood was still falling down, and the ground was covered with a thick layer.
, now I am afraid that even if I and others suffer from gout, they will not be able to finish the meal.
What a happy worry!
Zhu Bajie and the other two people behind him looked at the overwhelming seafood, and their mouths almost watered.
I have been listening to the chef talk about how delicious the grilled eel, steamed abalone, etc. are, but now I can’t finish them.
But Xiao Bailong was indifferent. He wouldn't take a second look at these things. Without him, he would be tired of eating them!
Until the last big lobster fell, the dark clouds in the sky also drifted away. I guess the dark clouds just now were used to transport these seafood.
"Holy Monk, I will take this evil little king back for discipline. I will no longer delay the Holy Monk's schedule. I wish the Holy Monk a safe journey and obtain the scripture as soon as possible." The Dragon King cupped his hands and said with a smile.
"The Dragon King is busy with important matters, so the poor monk won't stay much. The Dragon King should go slowly." The spirit-like Tang Sen couldn't tell that the Dragon King wanted to run away.
But it doesn't matter. I got the treasure, caught the monster, and got a bunch of seafood. I've already made a lot of money.
"Holy monk, please leave." The Dragon King turned around and transformed into a five-clawed golden dragon. He grabbed the dragon with one claw and flew into the clouds.
Prince Moang looked deeply at Tang Sen. Tang Sen was stunned, smiled and nodded to him, and he nodded politely.
"You are very nice. If you need anything in the future, you can come to me." After saying that, he transformed into a black dragon and followed him.
When Tang Sen heard this, he was stunned for a moment, and then a smile appeared on his face. This Prince Mo'ang made more promises than the old Dragon King. Although he may not necessarily need his help, Tang Sen had to remember this feeling.
"Master, there are so many seafoods, we..." Zhu Bajie said, swallowing deeply, his eyes were filled with seafood all over the floor.
Various types of fish, shells, turtles, lobsters, etc. cover the entire blackwater river bank.
Looking at Zhu Bajie's salivating look, Tang Sen raised his chin that was about to drop.
"Okay, okay, let's have dinner here before we go on the road. Anyway, it won't be too late."
"Yo ho!" Sun Wukong shouted excitedly.
Even though he was pretending to be calm and composed, he had actually been looking forward to this barbecue for a long time.
It's not that he has never eaten fish before, but they are ordinary fish, and they are simply grilled. They are not like these precious ingredients now, not to mention Tang Sen's craftsmanship and seasonings, how can they be the same.
It’s okay not to mention what he ate before.
"Master, I'm going to find firewood." Sun Wukong volunteered. After saying this, he disappeared in a flash.
"This monkey." Tang Sen shook his head helplessly. This monkey is always irritable in doing things.
"Master, let me go find water." Zhu Bajie also wanted to do something, so he went to find water.
"Second Senior Brother, there's no need. I've got enough water for you, old Sha Guan." Sha Wujing stopped him quickly and said confidently.
Then he took off the Qiankun bag from his waist, stretched out his hand, and the clear and sweet mountain spring water flew out like a line, gathered into a ball of water, and was suspended in the air.
"Ah, then what should I do?" Zhu Bajie was stunned. It seemed like there was no place that needed him now.
Although he has always been indolent, now he always feels a little embarrassed. Everyone is doing things and he is the only one who is idle.
This made him feel embarrassed to eat the most.
"Bajie, if you really have nothing to do, just pick out a few things and we'll eat them later." Tang Sen pointed to the seafood that was still jumping around on the ground.
Zhu Bajie didn't hesitate, picked eight large lobsters and dozens of grilled fish, and cleaned them after finishing them painlessly.
"Uncle, I want to eat too." Red Boy ran over and looked at Tang Sen eagerly.
"Oh, okay, then you will be in charge of the fire later." Tang Sen handed over the matter of lighting the fire to Hong Hai'er. He was born with a body of fire spirit and could control the flame very well.
Put away the piles of ingredients on the floor and keep the freshness of these ingredients to the maximum extent in your portable space, which is easier to use than a refrigerator.
Soon, several people divided their work, lighting the fire and cooking the soup. Everyone got a portion of the taste from the ocean, and even the green lion was a feast for the eyes.
After eating and drinking, it’s time to hit the road.
"Master, how can we get across this Blackwater River as far as the eye can see?" Zhu Bajie said sadly.
Of course they can fly there, but Tang Sen can't. It doesn't mean that they can't fly, but there are rules along the way. If they could fly directly, they would have reached Lingshan long ago.
"It doesn't matter." Tang Sen said confidently.
His motorcycle can ride on water as if it were on flat ground, how could it be troubled by this small black water river?
Just as I was about to take out my motorcycle, suddenly, a call rang out.
"Holy Monk, Holy Monk." His voice was old and hoarse.
Tang Sen was stunned, stopped what he was doing, and looked towards where the sound came from. He saw a huge turtle climbing up on the bank of the Blackwater River.
That's really big!
The turtle shell on its back alone is over a hundred square meters in size, almost like a small piece of land.
As the saying goes, a thousand-year-old tortoise is worth a thousand-year-old turtle. Looking at the turtle in front of Tang Sen, it seems to be several thousand years old if not ten thousand years old.
The turtle spoke human words.
"Holy monk, the little god was originally the water god of the Blackwater River. A few years ago, the monster forcibly occupied the water house. Fortunately, with the help of the holy monk, the monster was driven away and the water house was regained. The little god has nothing to repay.
I am willing to help the holy monks and disciples cross this black water river."
Although he could go there himself, it was difficult to refuse the kindness of others. Tang Sen hesitated and agreed.
"Then please invite the holy monks and disciples to come up." The turtle lay down.
Tang Sen didn't hesitate, and the others mounted on the turtle's shell side by side.
The wind in the Blackwater River was strong and the waves were high, but it was extremely stable on the turtle shell. No one was seasick except for Red Boy, who seemed a little uncomfortable.
No wonder, since he was born close to fire, he naturally didn't like water that much.
"Holy Monk, the little god has been cultivating in the Heishui River for thousands of years and has not attained enlightenment. The holy monk is going to the West. May I ask the Buddha, how many more years can the little god practice before attaining enlightenment?" The old turtle asked.
The sound came from below, and they were already in the middle of the Blackwater River.
Tang Sen smiled grimly when he heard this. It seemed that someone really thought he was easy to bully.
"The donor has received the sign. Cultivation pays attention to understanding and conditions. It cannot be determined by a short period of time. Whether you can achieve the Tao depends on your single mind, and a poor monk has nowhere to ask."
This turtle wanted to repay a favor, not to mention who was doing it to whom, but Tang Sen couldn't stand the threat, so he wouldn't help him.
The turtle was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He didn't expect that Tang Sen actually refused. This was just a casual question for Tang Sen. Logically speaking, there was no need to refuse. He swam slower and slower, and finally stopped in the middle of the river.
.
"Holy Monk, why are you so unkind? The little god just wants to ask. For the holy monk, it's just a casual thing, and it doesn't live up to the fate of the little god carrying you across the river." Oogway didn't seem to notice it yet.
There was a hint of threat in his behavior and tone, maybe this was his method.
"Oh, this is indeed a trivial matter for the poor monk, but you misjudged one thing. The poor monk is never threatened by others!"
"What's more, the poor monk is very unhappy now."
Tang Sen's tone has become cold.
"Holy monk, please think carefully. We are in the middle of the river now. If the little god turns over now... the fish will die and the net will be broken. Why bother." Oogway tried hard to persuade him, but he didn't realize that he had done something wrong.
Tang Sen didn't bother to say more. Such a villain was just wasting his words. He knew who he couldn't mess with if he slapped him in the face.
It's ridiculous. When the dragon occupied the water palace before, he didn't dare to fart. Now he dares to threaten himself and others who drove away the dragon. Do you really think that he is eating fast and chanting Buddha, and has a Bodhisattva heart?
Do you still think that good people should be bullied?
It's a pity that Tang Sen never thinks of himself as a good person!
The nine-layered demon tower appeared in his hand. In addition to being a host, the main function of this nine-layered demon tower is to subdue demons!
He gently placed the Nine Layer Demon Tower on the old turtle's back, and he immediately realized that something was wrong.
His back was getting heavier and heavier, as if he was carrying a mountain on his back. It wasn't that he didn't want to move, but that he couldn't move.
There was also a powerful will that was influencing him. He actually had the willingness to surrender to Tang Sanzang, and this willingness became stronger and stronger.
In Tang Sen's view, the nine-layered demon tower bloomed with nine colors of light, and in his mind, through the nine-layered demon tower, Tang Sen could faintly feel the surrender and flattery of the turtle under his feet.
Tang Sen was shocked. This was also the first time he used this function of the Nine Layers Demon Tower.
This is clearly enslaving and even modifying the turtle's self-will.
It’s so terrifying!
Of course, Tang Sen has nothing to sympathize with. It is not a pity to retaliate for kindness and revenge, but now it is not dead, it is just controlled by the Nine Layer Demon Tower. This is not the worst ending.
If you do something wrong, you have to pay the price. This applies to everyone!
This nine-layer demon tower can also be called the demon refining tower!
