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

The master and his disciples continued their journey westward, and before they knew it, spring had arrived again.

Tang Shan couldn't remember how many years it had been since she traveled through the book. She felt that traveling around the world was just like this.

A few people were looking for flowers and green trees, riding their horses slowly and lightly. Not far away there was a mountain that reached into the sky, so high that it was out of reach.

After entering the mountain and passing the top of the ridge, there is a auspicious light and colorful mist lingering in the flat area on the west, and there is a pavilion below.

Wukong was surprised. "This temple looks a bit like Leiyin Temple."

Tang Shan understood that this was the so-called Little Western Paradise, and the one below must be the Little Leiyin Temple of the Yellow-browed King.

Wukong noticed a murderous aura among the auspicious clouds and guessed that the temple was transformed by a demon.

He was afraid that his master would worship the gods and Buddhas when he saw them, so he reminded him in advance: "Master, I'm afraid this is not a real place for Buddha to be worshipped."

Bajie laughed and said, "Who dares to make a false image of the Buddha? I think everyone you see looks like a demon, Monkey King."

"You," Wukong said angrily, "what do you know, you idiot!"

"Hey~" Tang Shan interrupted, "Bajie doesn't have golden eyes, and his brain is just a pig's. It's inevitable that he will be blind sometimes. We should accept people's differences with an open heart."

"That's right," Bajie suddenly realized, "Master, whose side are you on?"

Why does it sound like cursing?

Tang Shan was fair and just, "Of course I'm on my disciple's side."

While they were talking, they met a little demon who came to patrol the mountain.

This mountain is full of jackals, tigers and leopards. Any ordinary person who dares to come in will be eaten by the beasts.

The little demon looked at the few people warily, thinking that they must have some ability to get here.

I thought Xiao Yao would put one hand on his waist and the other holding a knife, asking them why they came here.

To be more direct, just tie them all up and take them back.

As a result, the next second Xiao Yao showed a skilled and enthusiastic smile.

"Are you guys here to burn incense at the Little Leiyin Temple? I'm familiar with this place, I'll take you there."

Now we can avoid a fight and wait until they pay the incense money before tying them up. It's perfect.

"Ah?" The master and his disciples were stunned. The little demon asked the monk to burn incense?

Wukong shook his head, "Master, don't go. It must be a trick."

Bajie: "Even a blind man can see that. Master is so smart that he definitely won't go there."

My master's attitude towards me has become more and more perfunctory recently, so I have to flatter him more.

White Dragon Horse: Second Brother, please respect yourself.

"Okay." Tang Shan agreed immediately.

I heard that this small Leiyin Temple has a lot of incense money. You can give it to the Buddha or to me, so just give it to me.

Bajie was immediately slapped in the face.

Wukong thought that his master was really deceived by the appearance of the Little Leiyin Temple, and he was still patiently explaining.

"Master, I've been to Leiyin Temple several times. Although it looks similar, the address is not here."

After all, I have flown over that route several times and am very familiar with it.

Tang Shan said calmly: "I know."

The disciples said in unison: "Then why are you still going?"

Even if you believe they have the ability to protect you, there's no need to send yourself into the goblin's mouth to test it.

Tang Shan sighed softly, "You just don't understand the good intentions of Guanyin and Tathagata."

"They worked so hard to mobilize the entire Western Paradise and Heavenly Palace, and the gods and Buddhas released all kinds of poultry, mounts, and fairy children to make up the numbers."

"Why do people work so hard to play such a big chess game?"

The apprentice was speechless. Bajie nudged Wukong and said, "Master is asking a question, answer it quickly."

Wukong: For gold?

Sha Seng had an expression of being taught. The master was going to tell them the secret of obtaining the scriptures. Such a great opportunity to eat melons could not be missed.

"Master, why is this?"

Tang Shan felt a great sense of satisfaction when she saw Sha Seng and Xiao Bai's eager eyes for knowledge.

Bajie and Wukong breathed a sigh of relief, as long as someone answered them.

"A sword is sharpened by grinding. They do this so that we can temper our character through difficulties and forge a stronger self."

"If we know there's a pit ahead and don't jump in, wouldn't we be letting down the people who dug it? They won't have a sense of accomplishment."

Tang Shan spoke nonsense with a serious face, going against her conscience.

Wukong and Bajie opened their mouths slightly, as if they wanted to say something but stopped themselves.

Master, why don’t you listen to what you are saying?

Bajie hesitated for a few seconds and tentatively retorted, "But Master, didn't you say before that this was just a case of someone being too stupid to endure the hardship?"

Wukong also remembered that his master told him to fly directly to Leiyin Temple to obtain the scriptures, and also gave him a lot of profound teachings.

However, after he arrived at Leiyin Temple, he was driven back.

"Ahem~" Tang Shan strategically cleared her throat. "I was too naive before and didn't understand the Buddha's good intentions."

Sha Seng nodded vigorously. So that's how it is.

Tang Shan pointed to the road they had come from. "Look, we've been through so many storms together, and robbed so many gods and demons. Now, thousands of mountains and rivers are just a piece of cake."

Wukong: Master, you don’t have to say the middle half of the sentence.

Bajie: Haha, you are just taking it for granted. I carried the burden all the way and you didn’t even mention it?

Wukong scratched his head, not quite understanding, "So we still have to go into this little Leiyin Temple?"
