The Monkey King

In the deep well, Xuanzang hit it with a hoe and immediately felt something.

He quickly dropped the hoe, reached out and touched a piece of soft and moist soil.

His eyes widened instantly and he was stunned.

After a while, a burst of ecstasy exploded on that face!

It has been several months, and I have been struggling here for several months, and finally I have gained something!

He raised his head and shouted loudly: "Old Prince! The water is coming out! The water is coming out!"

Lowering his head, he dug hard again. This time, he used all his strength. The physical fatigue of the past few days seemed to have disappeared at this time.

Sure enough, after a while, a clear spring water emerged from the place where he dug. Cool and refreshing.

Xuanzang couldn't care less and hurriedly squatted down, picked up the spring water and took a sip.

Very sweet.

"Great! Great! As long as you try your best, you can eventually reach a thousand miles and achieve the great road! Hahahaha!" He laughed out loud, struggled to turn around, and even forgot to bring his hoe, so he crawled Climb up the long ladder made of woven ropes.

Soon, he climbed out of the well, his movements seemed a little panicked.

In the distance, a group of monsters and monkeys were looking at him silently, expressionless.

"The water is out." Xiao Bailong on the side reminded in a low voice.

"I know." Monkey simply replied, still silent.

The expression on his face seemed to tell everyone that maybe it would be better not to get out of the water.

When jumping from the wellhead. Xuanzang fell all over the ground and was looking for teeth, but he still struggled to stand up happily. He ran away for a few steps, but then he remembered something and quickly looked back.

"What does he want to do?"

"Maybe I need to find a bucket to put water in."

"But there seems to be no barrel here."

While they were discussing, the monsters still had expressionless faces. Even a little tired.

Soon, Xuanzang found that he couldn't find the bucket. He seemed a little disappointed. He looked down and saw that he was all wet. He laughed again and ran towards the old prince's residence.

Looking at the direction where Xuanzang was going, Xiao Bailong couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

"He's going to know the truth soon. Can he handle it?"

"If you can't bear this, how can you prove it?"

"Why do I feel that our path to enlightenment has been going in circles, as if there is no hope at all?"

"How can I say this? If it were so easy to attain enlightenment, and we would have attained it long ago, why would there be any need for us to bother here?"

The monsters around were talking a lot, but the monkey's face became increasingly ugly.

…

When Xuanzang arrived after a long journey, the carriage was parked at the gate of the Prince's Mansion.

He saw the carriage and the two guards guarding the door. Xuanzang couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

The two guards were also startled when they saw Xuanzang.

One of the guards pointed at Xuanzang and said, "You are not from Fengxian County. Who are you?"

Before Xuanzang could react, another guard quickly stopped his colleague, winked quietly and said, "Buddhist people must not be disrespected."

After saying that, he turned around and clasped his hands to salute Xuanzang, and said respectfully: "I am the bodyguard of the prince's palace. I haven't asked this master yet..."

When his colleague saw him, he quickly bowed and saluted in the same manner.

"The bodyguard of the prince's palace?" Xuanzang was stunned for a moment.

After being here for so many days, he had never seen any guards in the Prince's Mansion. Exactly. The only people left in Fengxian County were the old prince and those old people who could barely walk.

Seeing Xuanzang's surprised expression, one of the guards quickly explained: "We came back with the prince to pick up the old prince."

"Pick up...the old prince?"

Xuanzang was even more confused.

At this moment, the old prince happened to walk out of the prince's palace together with the prince.

When he saw Master Xuanzang, the old prince laughed and quickly pulled his son over and introduced: "This is the Master Xuanzang that my father just told you about."

Hear the words. The prince quickly clasped his hands together and bowed in salute: "Disciple, see Master Xuanzang!"

"Disciple?" Xuanzang stood blankly.

The old prince laughed happily and said: "Although my son has not yet become a monk, he has already entered Buddhism and is considered a lay disciple. When he meets Master Xuanzang, he should call himself a disciple."

"Yes, yes." The prince quickly agreed: "It's all thanks to Master Xuanzang. Before returning to Fengxian County, the disciple couldn't figure out how he could have such good luck. After he came back, he realized that it was all Xuanzang. It’s all thanks to Master Zang.”

Xuanzang's brows were slowly frowning.

Seeing this, the old county prince had no choice but to explain: "My child fled Fengxian County with a group of people. In the past few years, he has been homeless and has no place to live. But not long ago, he suddenly encountered We arrived at a Buddha. The Buddha allowed me to enter Buddhism, and then used a clever method. Unexpectedly... Hahahaha, your Majesty somehow became concerned about the affairs of Fengxian County. Not only did he give Xin The title and new territory also gave me a lot of food and grass!"

"Lord Buddha?"

"Yes, a Buddha came to help me without saying anything. The disciple couldn't understand it either." The prince said cheerfully, "But now I understand. My father told his disciple about Master Xuanzang's well digging. Master Xuanzang must have dug a well and moved Buddha, so he sent a Buddha to help."

"Yes, yes, when I think of the rain clouds that night and the rain clouds in the past few days, it's really wonderful." The old man standing next to him also agreed.

All of a sudden, everyone was immersed in laughter and laughter. Only Xuanzang lowered his head slightly and glanced at his wet clothes.

At this moment, who else remembers the water in the well?

"This disciple is here to take his father to a new territory. I heard that Master Xuanzang is going to the west. Otherwise, Master Xuanzang will go with us? The Buddha is still stranded in the mansion, and he may not be able to return. I wish we could meet you." The Crown Prince said politely again, "Everything is available over there, so there is no need to prepare anything. Why don't we set off now?"

Xuanzang looked back in a daze at the one-carriage and said, "With so many people, I'm afraid we can't fit in here, right?"

"It's okay." The prince immediately waved his hand and said: "We have already discussed it. The two guards will stay to take care of the old man. The disciple, his father, and Master Xuanzang will go first. Turn around and let them come back to pick up the others. Xuanzang Don’t worry, Master!”

"Yes, yes, Master Xuanzang, don't worry!"

"It's okay. I couldn't die before, but now there are two strong men helping me. How can I still die? Hahahaha."

Everyone present looked at Xuanzang happily.

However, Xuanzang just blinked and looked at the crowd blankly, feeling in a trance.

Soon, everyone felt the gap between hot and cold. The smile on that face froze.

The originally lively atmosphere suddenly became extremely awkward.

After a long time, the old prince asked with some uncertainty: "Master Xuanzang... you don't want to go with us?"

The prince hurriedly added: "Master Xuanzang has been so kind and virtuous, and the county and prince's palace has nothing to repay. If we are not willing to do this, I'm afraid... we, father and son, will be uneasy in our lives."

"No." Master Xuanzang took a deep breath, smiled quickly, and said, "Xuanzang is willing to go with us."

After saying this, everyone suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.

The atmosphere outside the gate of the mansion became lively again, filled with laughter and laughter.

In the distance, Xiao Bailong gently picked his ears and said: "Actually, this result is not bad. After all, all the difficulties in Fengxian County have been solved. But no one found that Master Xuanzang's clothes were wet. Of?"

Canpeng said leisurely: "These are mortals, and their lifetime is only a hundred years. Any slight disturbances are attributed to ghosts and gods. But they don't know that ghosts and gods are actually not much different from them, they just live in another form. . Do you want them to pay more attention to details?"

"That's not to say, some mortals are quite powerful. Some monsters are still so stupid after living for thousands of years." As he said this, Xiao Bailong glanced at the Bull Demon King intentionally or unintentionally.

At this glance, the Bull Demon King immediately stared back.

Lu Liuguai frowned and said: "I think someone is playing tricks on Master Xuanzang. Think about the rain clouds a few days ago, and the people coming over there just as the water is about to come out... What is going on? ?”

"No way... It's not easy to attain enlightenment in the first place, and there are still people who want to hinder it?"

"Isn't this something you've known for a long time? Do you think people in Buddhism are all for a living?"

"Didn't it mean that they can only wait and see and not take action?"

"That's not necessarily true, maybe... Well, you can't understand the Buddha's thoughts anyway."

The monkey who had been silent suddenly stood up and said: "Get ready."

"Ready?" Everyone looked at him at once.

The monkey gritted his teeth and said: "Go and see their new territory, and by the way, meet that... Buddha!" ​​(To be continued ~^~)
