Chapter 526 Crossing the River
"If I were to hit you now, I'm afraid it would kill you immediately, but where have you placed my master and junior brothers now?"
The black fish spirit immediately lowered his head and said to Sun Wukong:
"Sun Dasheng, I didn't know it was you, so I just collided with my cousin and was captured by him."
"Now that I have met you, I would like to thank you for your kindness in not killing me. I am deeply grateful. Your master is still tied up in my cave. I also hope that you, the great sage, can unlock my iron chains. I Go back to the river and get him out."
Upon hearing this, the Dragon Prince immediately said to Sun Wukong:
"The monster, the Great Sage, is a very bad monster. If you let him go, your master's life may be in danger."
After Sha Wujing heard what Prince Long said, he immediately said:
"Brother Monkey, I know where the master is tied up now. I will go and save the master now."
After saying this, Sha Wujing jumped into the water and came to the gate of Shuifu. The door was wide open and there was no monster inside. After entering the courtyard, he saw Tang Xuanzang and Zhu Bajie were tied there. Sha Wujing quickly untied himself. Opened Tang Xuanzang.
The river god also untied Zhu Bajie, and the two of them carried each other to the water.
After Zhu Bajie came to the shore, he quickly raised the nine-tooth rake in his hand and cursed at the monster:
"Damn goblin, who dared you to eat? I'm fine now. I'll put it in your mouth and see if you eat it or not. If you don't eat it, I'll beat you to death every time."
When the black fish spirit heard this, he suddenly felt panicked and ashamed. After a while, Sun Wukong finally couldn't bear it anymore. He quickly grabbed Zhu Bajie and said to Zhu Bajie:
"Idiot, let him be spared his death sentence first, just for the sake of the Dragon King and his son of the Western Sea."
After Zhu Bajie heard what Sun Wukong said, his very angry mentality gradually calmed down. After a while, Prince Long said to Sun Wukong:
"Sun Dasheng, since you have spared him, I can't stay here too long, since your master has been rescued."
"I am going to take this black fish spirit to see my father immediately. My father will never let him live and feel comfortable. He will definitely be dealt with."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately raised his hands to Prince Long and said:
"If that's the case, then take him away and remember to convey my gratitude to your father."
As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, the Dragon Prince led the black fish spirit into the water, and led the shrimp soldiers and crab generals to swim all the way to the West Sea.
Having said that, after the river god of the Black Water River thanked Sun Wukong, he said to Tang Xuanzang:
"After such a long time, I finally see you. I am Guanyin Bodhisattva. I told you before that I would wait here for you to come and take you across the river together."
Tang Xuanzang nodded to the river god after hearing this.
When the river god saw this, he immediately said to Tang Xuanzang:
"You stay here first. Stay calm for a moment. You ride on your white dragon horse. I will open the way for you now and lead you across the river."
When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he immediately mounted his horse and Zhu Bajie held the rope, while Sha Wujing carried the luggage. Sun Wukong looked around, and then the four masters and disciples crossed the river.
After a long time, the four masters and apprentices were traveling slowly on the road. Suddenly they heard a shout, which seemed to be the shouts of tens of thousands of people. Tang Xuanzang was very frightened, and he quickly reined in his horse and was unable to move forward. He hurriedly turned back to Sun Wukong and said:
"Wukong, who is shouting so loudly? It has already scared me."
Zhu Bajie heard this and immediately said:
"The sound was deafening, like the mountains falling apart and the earth cracking, and it was like rolling thunder."
Sun Wukong smiled and said:
"Since neither of you can guess what the sound is, then you wait here for me for a while. I will go up to the sky to take a look, and I will tell you when I come back."
After saying this, Sun Wukong immediately jumped up to the clouds and took a closer look. There was a city in the distance with a burst of auspicious light, and no evil aura could be seen. Seeing this, Sun Wukong thought in his heart:
"This place is a great place, but why is the thunder rolling?"
Sun Wukong took another closer look and saw that there was a beach outside the city gate. There were many monks standing on the open space pulling carts there. It turned out that it was the sound that disturbed Tang Xuanzang.
Sun Wukong gradually came down from the clouds, and suddenly saw that the car was filled with some land, some vegetation and the like.
There is a very narrow path on the slope, with mountains on both sides. It seems that one wrong step can lead to the endless ravine.
Although the weather is so warm now, those people still look very strange in their ragged clothes, which makes Sun Wukong very suspicious.
"Presumably a temple is being built now, but the harvest here should be plentiful. Can't you find some idle people who really need these monks together?"
While Sun Wukong was thinking wildly here, he suddenly saw two young Taoist priests swinging out of the city gate.
After the monks saw the two Taoist priests, they were frightened and worked harder to pull the cart. When Sun Wukong saw this, he suddenly understood.
"The monks must be afraid of these Taoist priests. Otherwise, why would they pull hard? I once heard someone say that on the road to the west, there is a place where the Taoism destroys the Buddha. I think it must be here."
"Are these true? I have to go back and report to the master later. Otherwise, if there are some things that I don't understand, it will make him angry."
After thinking about it, Sun Wukong immediately fell to the ground and turned into a Taoist priest.
When the two young Taoist priests saw this, they immediately said to Sun Wukong:
"I wonder where the growth comes from?"
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong immediately said to the two young Taoist priests:
"I have wandered around the world, with the sky as my quilt and the earth as my bed, until now."
When the two young Taoist priests heard this, they suddenly understood and hurriedly said to Sun Wukong:
"If this is the case, then come back to the palace with me and have something good to eat."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he quickly waved his hand and said to the two young Taoist priests:
"That's no need. There are people coming and going on any street. I want to go there to eat."
After the two teenagers heard what Sun Wukong said, they instantly laughed out loud at what Sun Wukong said.
"Why do you, a Taoist priest, say such demoralizing words?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, the two young Taoist priests looked puzzled. When they saw this, they smiled and explained to Sun Wukong:
"Since you are a Taoist priest, why do you want to become a monk? Isn't this a waste of time?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he rolled his eyes and said to the two young Taoist priests:
"Why don't monks use begging as an excuse to eat as a vegetarian? Do they have the money to buy it?"
