Journey to the West: Monks do not tell lies, they only rob

Master Tang Shan and his apprentice walked along the deserted roads on two hills.

Breakfast: peaches.

Lunch: Banana.

Dinner: Unknown wild fruit.

At this moment, the White Dragon Horse was nibbling on fresh grass with its head down.

Tang Shan stared at the pile of freshly picked fruits on the ground, feeling bored.

It's no exaggeration to say that she has been eating these for a week straight.

I feel like I'm made of fruit, and my farts smell like fruit.

If this continues, you will either suffer from malnutrition or diabetes warning.

Tang Shan divided the fruit into two parts, gave one to Wukong and fed the other to the White Dragon Horse.

"Master, why don't you eat?"

Wukong picked up a peach and took a bite, making a "crunch, crunch" sound.

Tang Shan: I’m not a monkey, how can I just chew on this stuff every day?

But his face showed concern as he said, "Master sees that you are growing, so you should eat more."

As she spoke, she reached out and stuffed a bag of bananas into Wukong's hand.

Tang Shan caressed the white dragon horse tenderly.

"Look, what a pitiful child! He's obviously the Dragon King's prince, so he must be eating delicacies on a daily basis."

“Now we can only eat grass along the way, which is sad to see.”

Wukong and White Dragon Horse were so frightened that they dropped the food in their mouths.

Master, are you feeling sorry for them?

He was reluctant to even eat the fruit and gave away his share.

Guilt welled up in Wukong's heart, and his master rescued him from the Five Finger Mountain, ignoring his naughty behavior and verbal defiance along the way.

He has never used the hoop on his head to threaten anyone, so he must protect his master well in the future.

A layer of mist covered the white dragon horse's big eyes, and he responded with a "moo~" sound.

"Your father is really a fool. His own child broke a pearl, and yet he made such a fuss that it reached the Heavenly Palace."

"If a son is not well-educated, it's the fault of his father. If he says you are naughty, doesn't he have any responsibility as a father?"

The White Dragon Horse suddenly understood and nodded.

Tang Shan lamented, "You could have been living a safe and sound life as a wealthy second-generation businessman at sea, but now you have to follow me, living in the open air and starving."

She picked up her sleeve and wiped her eyes, "I'm sorry, Master."

The white dragon horse rubbed Tang Shan's leg with its head anxiously.

"This incident was caused by a bad student, and he deserves to be punished."

"It has nothing to do with Master, so why blame yourself?"

Tang Shan jumped up with a scream, "This horse is talking like a human!"

White Dragon Horse and Wukong...

"Haha, sorry, I'm not used to it all of a sudden."

Tang Shan smiled awkwardly.

It's been a few months since I traveled to Journey to the West, and I still haven't gotten used to the fact that animals can talk.

"I know that you all are following the instructions of Guanyin and are forced to endure the hardships of obtaining the scriptures with me."

"How about this, Wukong? You can travel 108,000 miles with one somersault. Why don't we just sit here and wait for you to bring the scriptures back?"

Wukong was dumbfounded, "Master, are you serious?"

He had thought about doing this a long time ago, but was afraid that his master would not agree and would instead dislike him.

I originally thought that my master was a stubborn person, but I didn't expect that he was also an opportunistic person.

"Of course it's true." Tang Shan said firmly.

"The Mahayana Dharma is so important. The sooner we can obtain the souls of the deceased, the sooner we can attain liberation."

She said righteously, "Although one must go through numerous tribulations and difficulties step by step, only then can one achieve the great path."

Tang Shan suddenly took Wukong's hand, tears in her eyes faintly shining.

"But how can we allow these miserable beings to endure such hardship for so long just for the sake of our own path?"

"Every day we spend seeking the scriptures delays the suffering of countless sentient beings."

Tang Shan spoke so emotionally that she almost shed tears.

She turned quietly and wiped her eyes with her sleeve.

Damn it, I applied too much white flower oil.

It's almost killing my eyes.

She desperately wiped the remaining white flower oil from her face, and her eyes were red.

I should have put some eye drops in earlier.

Wukong hurriedly comforted him, "Don't worry, Master. I understand your heartfelt words just now."

"Guanyin only said that we, the master and the disciple, should get the scriptures. I will carry you to Leiyin Temple."

"That white dragon horse..."

"Master, don't worry. I can transform back into a dragon and follow you and Senior Brother."

"Then my gold, silver and jewelry"

Wukong and White Dragon Horse looked over at the same time.

Tang Shan immediately changed her tone, "What should we do with our luggage?"

You can't carry a pile of golden money to Leiyin Temple.

She wasn't going there to give a gift.

Wukong said, "That's easy. Let's find a reliable family to help look after it. We'll be back soon."

Tang Shan: You speak so casually. The total value of these things is several hundred million.

This is the wealth I have worked so hard to accumulate since I entered the book.

If someone absconds with the money, I will be dead.

Tang Shan said to Wukong righteously, "It's not that I don't trust others, it's just that human nature cannot stand the test."

Wukong scratched his head, wondering how something like that could be related to human nature.

Tang Shan could tell at first glance that the monkey lacked social experience and was very naive.

"If our pile of worldly things arouses greed and evil intentions in others, they might take it for themselves."

"Isn't it our fault?"

She thought to herself: There is no way I will hand over my entire fortune to a stranger.

Only then did Wukong realize.

This is the reason.

The master is worthy of being the one appointed by Guanyin to obtain Buddhist scriptures, and his knowledge of Buddhism is profound.

He can think more deeply than ordinary people.

"But Master, a monk's six senses are pure, why do you care so much about money and other worldly things?"

Wukong suddenly felt confused.

It's going to die, it's never going to end, right?

Tang Shan was embarrassed. Her eloquent CPU was about to break down.

"Wukong, you and I are both worldly beings. How can we exist apart from worldly things?"

"From a needle and thread to a bowl of porridge and a meal, which of these things doesn't require the exchange of money and objects?"

"People's livelihood is a matter of great importance to the nation. We seek the scriptures to save all living beings. If I, Master, use this money to help the people and promote commerce, isn't that also promoting economic development?"

"When everyone has enough food to eat and enough clothes to wear, and lives their lives everywhere, wouldn't that be more useful than this oral scripture?"

Tang Shan said a lot in one breath.

Fortunately, I participated in a debate competition during college.

This guy's eloquence is nothing to be ashamed of.

Wukong said happily, "Master, your words are like a warning to the world. I think you are a true and compassionate immortal who saves people from suffering."

I originally thought that the master was just a talker, but now I hear these words.

Wukong felt that he had not chosen the wrong master.

A hint of cunning flashed in Tang Shan's eyes.

Look at how confident I am when I talk, I'm sure you'll be completely fascinated by me.

"Okay, now that you know, Goku, you should go and come back quickly."

Goku?

"Master, aren't you going with us?"

"There's a saying that goes, 'You can only walk fast if you're on the road alone. Go quickly."

Tang Shan was talking until her mouth was dry and she just wanted to get rid of Wukong quickly.

You can get some milk tea and drink it for yourself later.

Poor Wukong, he foolishly thought that his master was reluctant to let him carry him.

After repeatedly asking the White Dragon Horse to take good care of his master, he flew away with peace of mind.
