Chapter 545: Continue on the Road
After hearing this, everyone ignored the mud on their bodies and hurriedly ran to the river to kneel there and kowtow. Some people who were good at painting painted the faces of Guanyin Bodhisattva and others.
The alliance of Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing separated from the water and came to the cave in the water to find the master, but the shrimp soldiers and crab generals there were already dead.
Afterwards, Sun Wukong supported Tang Xuanzang and returned to Chenjiazhuang. The two old men in Chenjiazhuang were suddenly moved to tears and said to Sun Wukong:
"It was all our fault in the beginning. We didn't consider the monsters above, so your master suffered."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he said disdainfully:
"Okay, stop saying that kind of words. Now you don't have to go to sacrifice anymore, because we have taken away all the monsters."
"The only thing you have to do now is to find us a boat so we can cross the river quickly."
After the common people heard what Sun Wukong said, they immediately felt very happy and said quickly:
"Masters, just sit here and wait for a while. We will have all those things ready in a while."
Just when they were about to do it, they suddenly remembered a loud sound. The other people's legs went weak. They only heard that voice say:
"Sun Dasheng, you don't have to worry so much anymore. Leave this matter to me and I will take you across the river."
Everyone followed the source of the sound and looked around. It turned out to be a huge turtle. When Sun Wukong saw the turtle, he immediately became more vigilant. He held up the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and said to the turtle:
"If you, a monster like you, dare to come here, don't blame me for being rude. Look, the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in my hand can kill you in one go."
When the turtle heard this, he looked puzzled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Great Sage, I'm so kind to help you, why do you want to hit me?"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he sneered and continued:
"Don't think I don't know that you and that monster are actually from the same family. After he was caught, you started to act out."
The turtle heard this and quickly explained to Sun Wukong:
"Great Sage, if you say that, then you have really misunderstood me. I originally lived here, and my ancestors taught me this cave a long time ago."
"At first I wanted to rebuild this cave, but when I moved in, I suddenly encountered a river. When the tide came in, the monster injured me while I wasn't paying attention and sneaked in."
"Then he killed many of my wives and children, and abducted many of my tribesmen. Today, when you come, you will get rid of them, so that my tribe can return to me."
Sun Wukong suddenly realized what he said, so he said:
"Is what you said true?"
When the turtle heard this and saw that Sun Wukong still didn't believe him, he immediately said:
"Sun Dasheng's skills are profound, you can definitely tell. Is what I said true or false? If it is false, I dare to swear to God."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he pretended to be confused and said to the turtle: "Since you have spoken like this, you should swear to God."
"If I really don't want to cross the Tongtian River in Tang Xuanzang, I would rather turn into a pool of blood."
The turtle also gritted his teeth and swore to the sky with all his heart, but at this time Guanyin Bodhisattva was also listening beside him.
After hearing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva patted Sun Wukong on the shoulder and said to Sun Wukong:
"Wukong, don't make things difficult for him anymore. I can see this person's cultivation level at a glance, and he definitely doesn't have any bad intentions towards you. You can go with peace of mind."
After hearing what Guanyin Bodhisattva said, Sun Wukong felt relieved and said to the turtle:
"Since Guanyin Bodhisattva has spoken like this, I have no reason not to believe you. Just go ashore and let my master climb on your back."
After hearing this, the turtle slowly climbed onto the shore. After a while, under the guidance of everyone, Tang Xuanzang finally climbed onto the turtle's back.
Then Sun Wukong stepped on the turtle cover with one foot and stepped on the head of the turtle. With the other hand, he held the Ruyi Golden Cudgel and said in his mouth:
"You turtle, walk slower for me. If it's tilted, I'll take this Ruyi Golden Cudgel and hit you on the head."
When the turtle saw this, he quickly said: "Don't dare, of course I will be slower."
After saying that, the turtle was walking on the water as if it were on the flat land. People on the shore were very surprised when they saw it, like a living Arhat reincarnated.
At the same time, Tang Xuanzang sat on the turtle's back and said to the turtle:
"Thank you very much for taking us across the Tongtian River. I don't have any gifts to give you. I will definitely thank you again when I come back from the experience."
Wugui smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, you don't need to worry so much. I know that the Buddha of the West is immortal and can know the future. What I just want to know is when can I truly cultivate human nature?"
After Tang Xuanzang heard this and thought carefully for a long time, he slowly said to the turtle:
"Since you mentioned this matter, I will definitely ask Buddha about it then."
"Eh!"
Following Tang Xuanzang's words, the confused voice of the turtle just fell down, and I remembered again that Sun Wukong said to the turtle in confusion after hearing the words:
"What are you complaining about, you turtle?"
After the turtle heard what Sun Wukong said, he quickly shook his head and said to the Sun Wukong:
"It's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something."
After the turtle just said this, the doubts in his heart became more serious.
"I remember that the Tongtian River is not that long. Why haven't you reached the shore after so long?"
After the turtle thought of this, he continued to move forward.
After a while, I finally saw the turtle on the shore and breathed a sigh of relief. Then the turtle sent the four masters and apprentices to the shore, and then continued to return to the water.
Sun Wukong helped Tang Xuanzang mount his horse, while Zhu Bajie carried the luggage.
Sha Wujing followed them, and the four masters and disciples headed west again.
After a while, I suddenly saw a green light in front of me. I quickly walked closer and saw that it was flowers, plants and trees.
Everyone was very surprised when they saw the flowers, plants and trees. Tang Xuanzang looked puzzled and said to Sun Wukong:
"Why is there a world of ice and snow next to Wukong, but here are flowers, plants and trees? There must be something weird here, so we'd better be careful."
When Sun Wukong heard this, he smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:
"Master, you are really too vigilant. Could it be that you were caught by a monster and had a psychological shadow?"
