Chapter 6

Wukong laughed wildly. "Just because of this mystery?" He was about to tell Ba Jie.

Xuanzang pulled his hand and asked him to sit down. "Don't let him know, or he'll be sad."

Wukong didn't think much of it. "Master, you have a lot to think about."

Xuanzang felt something furry on his hand and was shocked. Suddenly, he remembered that the other party had fur on the back of his hand as well. He touched it a few more times and said, "Won't you be sad if others laugh at you?

Everyone has their shortcomings. "

He then said, "No matter what, I'm still your master in name. I can't teach you anything, but I still have to teach you." He then hesitated. "You don't have to listen …"

Wukong was slightly surprised. He put the Jingu Bang on his shoulder. "Okay, Master is the most important." He was about to make a second tiger pelt for Ba Jie.

Ba Jie was eavesdropping on their conversation. He lay on the stone and echoed, "Master is the most important. You can make Senior so obedient."

Wukong didn't respond. He left without looking back.

Ba Jie was scared. He moved closer to Xuanzang but didn't dare to get too close to him. "Master, if Senior comes back and beats me, remember to protect me."

Xuanzang was also scared. "Okay … I'm just afraid that the two of them will beat me together …"

Ba Jie took the opportunity to say, "Master, don't you have a way to discipline Senior?

He's wild. Although he's fine now, who knows when he'll beat us to death. "

Xuanzang pursed his lips. After two minutes, he said, "There is."

Ba Jie was delighted. "What is it?"

Xuanzang said, "I'll teach you. You have to remember it well and recite it every day."

Ba Jie was overjoyed. "Okay, okay, okay."

He followed Xuanzang and recited it word by word. He felt that something was wrong. "Master, what is this?"

"This is the Surangama Sutra."

Xuanzang blinked and then said in all seriousness, "It's the Demon-Breaking Scripture. If Wukong bullies you, you can recite this to him. He will feel remorse and be enlightened."

Ba Jie: "…"

Before he could say anything, he saw Wukong return with two pieces of black leather. He glanced at him and said, "Stay away from Master."

Xuanzang took the new skin and rubbed it. "This isn't tiger skin."

"Tiger skin can't withstand Junior Brother's torment." Wukong sat down, blocking Ba Jie's line of sight from Xuanzang. "This is wild boar skin, it's very sturdy."

When Ba Jie heard this, he jumped up in anger. "Monkey, are you plagiarizing my family?!"

Monkey King ignored him and said to Xuanzang, "Use the rest to make shoes for Junior Brother."

A layer of gray clouds covered the sky and it was gloomy. Xuanzang was focused on sewing clothes. Wukong was next to him. He was bored, so he gathered the small pieces he cut and threw them at Ba Jie. Ba Jie was hit on the head and threw them back angrily. The two of them were having fun.

Xuanzang was halfway done when he suddenly said, "Don't worry, I won't recite it unless you want to kill me."

"Hmm?" Monkey King was catching the ball. He stopped passing it back and turned to Xuanzang. "What's wrong?"

"I won't recite it." Tang Seng looked down.

Wukong looked at his eyelashes. They were thick and long. If the weather was good, they might even cast a shadow. Suddenly, he had a bold idea.

His eyebrows were relatively delicate and slender, but they were also quite thick. His nose was slightly small and the contours of his face had not been ground out. All of these together made him look very gentle and obedient.

However, because he had been chanting and practicing Buddhism since he was young, he always inadvertently showed a compassionate expression. It was obviously inconsistent with his face, but it did not feel out of place. It was as if he should be like this. If he showed the innocent look of a teenager, it would be strange.

When he did not hear Wukong's response, Xuanzang looked up at him in confusion. Unexpectedly, Wukong reached out and took off his Buddhist crown.

Xuanzang, "!!!"

Wukong, what are you doing?!

You can't play with that! "

He angrily snatched it back from Zhang Zian and put it on. After four or five times, he felt that he did not put it on properly. His face was red with anger.

Monkey King still let him snatch it back. After all, his target was the bald head. However, he said, "There was a bug on your head just now. I got rid of it for you."

His hair should be full of hair, but his head was so bald. It was pitiful.

"Oh …" Xuanzang subconsciously touched the top of the Buddhist crown. He was a little embarrassed. "I thought you were fooling around …"

"I'm not Ba Jie." Wukong helped him straighten the Buddhist crown. "Okay." He said again, "I heard you."

Xuanzang was stunned. He lowered his head. "You can't hit me or threaten me." He paused. "You can't kill innocent people either.

Monks are not allowed to kill. "

He blushed again. He had already killed three tigers and two wild boars to make clothes on the way here. It shouldn't count. After all, wild beasts would also come to eat them …

Monkey King laughed. "So you're still reciting it casually?

You're not talking nonsense, right? "

"In short, unless I have no other choice, I won't hurt you." Xuanzang thought for a while and said in a low voice, "Let's get along peacefully. I want to obtain the scriptures as soon as possible."

Wukong's expression changed slightly. "Okay."

Xuanzang counted with his fingers and said seriously, "You don't have to rush. The scriptures are very fast. I've calculated. If we keep going west without any detours, it'll be 108,000 li. His Majesty gave me a horse that can travel a thousand li in a day. 108,000 li means 18 days. If there are many roadblocks and detours, then double it, making it 40 days.

If we need food and lodging a day, then double it, making it 100 days.

At most, we can reach in 100 days. "

He raised his head and looked at Wukong. His eyes were as clean as water, sparkling, and serious. There was not a trace of mischievousness in them at all.

Monkey King was silent for a moment. "Are you serious?"

Xuanzang nodded. "A monk doesn't lie."

Monkey King also nodded. "Master, do you know?

If we travel a thousand li in a day, it'll take us 100 days to travel 100,000 li. "

He explained seriously, "10,000 li is ten thousand li, 100,000 li is ten ten thousand li, and 100,000 li is one hundred thousand li.

At most, we'll have to travel for two to three years. "

Xuanzang was stunned. His face quickly flushed red. This time, it was more serious than before. It was so red that it almost dripped blood. He wished he could dig a hole in the ground and hide.

Wukong didn't look at him. He continued to pick up the trivial animal skins at his feet.

Xuanzang was so embarrassed that he covered his face with his hands. He said in a dull voice, "Aren't you going to laugh at me?"

Wukong said seriously, "Master, people are born with mental deficiencies. If I laugh at you, won't you be sad?

Didn't you just teach me this morning? "

Xuanzang felt gratified, but he was still too embarrassed to let go of his hands. He faintly felt that something was wrong. After a while, the flush on his face faded. He then picked up the needle and thread on his leg and lowered his head to sew. He pursed his lips and smiled.

"Smile more. You're a child. Don't act like you're in your seventies or eighties all day."

Monkey King had a green foxtail in his hand. He swung it around leisurely. He looked at him and couldn't help but smile. "You don't talk much today."

Xuanzang said, "Because I've been teaching Ba Jie to chant scriptures. My mouth is dry and I'm too lazy to talk."

Ba Jie was lying on the side, enjoying the cool breeze. He silently rolled his eyes. Master was biased and his senior brother was even more boorish. They were very good together. Why did he feel that he was extra?

By the time Xuanzang finished his clothes, it was already noon. Ba Jie happily touched his new clothes and wanted to catch up with Monkey King to discuss something with him.

However, Monkey King was busy experimenting with Xuanzang. He reminded Xuanzang, "Wait for me to wave you before you chant."

Xuanzang nodded. He watched as Monkey King ran far away and waved at him before chanting the Golden Hoop Incantation.

Monkey King immediately fell to the ground and rolled around.

He hurriedly stopped. After a while, Wukong came back with a sullen face. "It won't work even if you can't hear me. It's probably effective when you see me.

This time, you must wait until I can't see you before you chant. "

Xuanzang did as he was told. When he couldn't see him anymore, he chanted for another ten seconds and stopped.

After a while, Monkey King came back with a happy face. "Did you chant it?"

"I did. Did you feel anything?"

"No!

Yes! "

As long as he ran far enough, Xuanzang wouldn't be able to control him.

He was so happy that he wanted to hit the ground a few times to make a scene. However, he restrained himself and said nonchalantly, "Let's go."

Seeing that they were done, Ba Jie ran to Monkey King. As soon as he made a sound, he heard Xuanzang say, "But I'm hungry."

Monkey King saw him clutching his stomach and asked Ba Jie to put down his luggage and look for food.

Xuanzang said, "There's still some food."

He had brought steamed buns, pastries, and other dry food from Ba Jie's cave. As for the flashy stuff, he threw it all away.

Wukong touched it. It was already cold. It was hard and dry. It was hard to swallow.

Xuanzang had eaten this thing last night. Although he looked like he had never suffered before, he could adapt to the environment better than anyone else.

Seeing Xuanzang sit down and eat with cold water, Monkey King said, "Wait."

He quickly found the fallen branches and used his mana to make a fire. He then peeled off the three slender branches and skewered the steamed buns in half. He held them over the fire and roasted them.

Tang Seng sat next to him and looked at him roasting the steamed buns in surprise. "Why didn't I think of that?"

"Everyone has shortcomings. There's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Wukong roasted the steamed buns calmly. He flipped them back and forth until the skin was golden and the fragrance gradually spread. Xuanzang looked at him anxiously and felt even more unbearable in his stomach. He completely ignored his words.

Wukong handed the finished steamed buns to him. "If it's still cold inside, roast it again."

Xuanzang nodded and blew on it twice before taking a small bite. He narrowed his eyes in happiness.

"Next time, bring some salt. There are many situations outside. It's more important to make your own food." Wukong said as he roasted another skewer.

Ba Jie knew himself well. He didn't think that Wukong was roasting it for him, so he cooked it himself. Unexpectedly, Wukong slapped his hand away. "Save some for me. You won't starve to death if you don't eat. Who knows if you can find a place to eat at night."

… He was really unnecessary.

Ba Jie said, "I'm familiar with the surroundings. There's a village up ahead. We can probably reach it before dark."

Wukong rewarded him with the steamed buns in his hand. After all, Xuanzang couldn't finish his skewer for the time being.

Ba Jie sighed. "Senior."

"Speak."

"In a few days' time, we'll reach the place where I used to live."

Wukong said, "Oh. Are you going to entertain me?"

Ba Jie said, "My old place has beautiful mountains and clear waters. There's plenty to eat and drink. As long as you … go with me, you won't hide anything good."

Wukong asked Xuanzang, "Are you full?"

Xuanzang drank some water and said obediently, "I still want to eat."

Wukong continued to roast the steamed buns for him.

Ba Jie cried, "Senior, brother, the Great Sage!

I know you're very capable. You have to avenge me! "

Only then did Wukong look at him with a faint smile. "Junior Brother, who bullied you?"

Ba Jie hesitated for a long time before he slowly said, "My old place is called Gao Lao Zhuang …"
