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

"Sanzang, you should study hard and get the scriptures. You will always have a share of the money from my incense offerings."

Huang Mei warmly saw Tang Sanzang and his disciples off. A dozen little demons beside them looked at Tang Shan reluctantly with fresh fruits in their hands.

Didn’t we agree to replace the eldest boss? Why did the one with good temper leave and only the one with bad temper is left?

"Just give it to me, just give it to me."

Bajie and Sha Seng smiled and put the fruits and vegetables from the little demon into their carrying pole. Now they didn't have to worry about food for the next ten days.

Tang Shan nodded with relief, "You work hard, and if Maitreya comes looking for you, just tell him that I also have a share of this land, and tell him not to take you away."

Huang Mei was moved by these words. He held Tang Shan's hand tightly and said, "Brothers for half a day, brothers for life. From now on, you are my brother."

That’s great. Even if Maitreya Buddha comes in the future, I will have an excuse to stay here.

He has now come to terms with it. There is no place where he cannot practice Buddhism. As long as he keeps his mind calm and abides by the Buddhist rules, he will eventually attain enlightenment.

It's so free and easy here, better than being a servant of Buddha.

Tang Shan: "Then from now on, just like Zhen Yuanzi, you can call me little brother."

By the way, I have to go there again in the future to ask him for a few more Qiankun sleeves.

"Oh, Immortal Zhenyuan is also your brother?"

Huang Mei was shocked. "Then doesn't that mean he and I can become brothers?"

Wow, I have made some great friends.

"Hey~" Tang Shan waved her hand, "Keep a low profile, keep a low profile."

Sha Monk's eyes sparkled, "Look at Master, he's neither arrogant nor impatient, and he's calm in the face of both good and bad situations. He always has a smile on his face. I have to work hard to be like Master in the future."

Bajie: If I had the same status as my master, I could ride a horse around, eat, drink and sleep all day long, and still greet everyone with a smile. Do you believe it?

Wukong: "Master, the luggage is packed."

Tang Shan waved her hand, "Then let's hurry on our way. We'll meet again after we get the scriptures."

Then I can come here again to get some bargains. Life will become more and more promising.

After leaving Xiaoxitian for another month or so, it was spring, the time when flowers were blooming.

As dusk approached, Tang Shan and her friends had to find a place to stay.

Sha Monk suggested: "Master, why don't we set up a tent for the night?"

In light of the last zombie incident, Bajie has a shadow over camping in the wild.

"No, how can we let Master sleep in such a simple way?"

In fact, I was afraid to sleep, and I had a legitimate reason.

Sha Seng: Huh? But Master has slept with me many times, and I never heard him say he didn't want to.

Tang Shan responded: "Spring is here, and it's the season for all things to come back to life and for animals to mate and reproduce."

Sha Seng and Bajie: Huh?

Tang Shan: "What I mean is, with so many abnormal humans in our team, it's inevitable that they will be noticed by the female animals in the mountains."

Now even Wukong and Bailongma were confused, huh???

Tang Shan shook her head. After being with me for so long, she still hasn't caught my sense of humor. Tsk tsk tsk tsk, it seems I am destined to be unique.

Sha Seng stared at him with innocent eyes, "Second Brother, what does Master mean by shaking his head?"

Bajie said casually, "I must be very disappointed in you. Who told you to ask Master to sleep in the tent?"

"Ah!" Sha Seng panicked, "I'm not, what should I do?"

He actually made his master unhappy. He really shouldn't have done that!

Bajie also shook his head. Why is Lao Sha's brain so good sometimes and bad sometimes?

Wukong saw a village not far away, which looked like there were hundreds of households inside.

"Master, let's spend the night there."

When Bajie heard this, he immediately picked up his load and left. "What else are you talking about? Hurry up."

He finally escaped the fate of sleeping in the wild, and no one could stop his wild heart.

Bajie kicked his legs even more anxiously than the White Dragon Horse, and suddenly he passed Wukong and walked in the front.

Lao Sha and Xiao Bai: You are so active, are you trying to establish yourself as a hardworking person in front of the master?

Thinking of this, Sha Seng and the White Dragon Horse also increased their speed.

Wukong, who suddenly went from being at the front of the team to being at the end, said: What happened?

Is Zhuangzi really that attractive?

Bajie put down his burden and knocked on the door of a house in front of the village.

An old man came out from behind the door, a dark and sturdy farmer.

He glanced at the people around him warily and closed the door a little closer, leaving only half a gap for one person.

"Who are you? Why are you knocking on my door?"

He is an old bachelor and the only one in his family.

Bajie said with a smile: "We are just monks passing by, and we want to stay overnight."

The old man glanced at him and said, "You are ugly, I won't talk to you."

Boom!

A loud thunderclap sounded in Bajie's world, and his entire brain was cracked to a crisp.

"You!" He pointed at the old man, "Lao Bi wuwu..."

Sha Seng rushed forward, covered his mouth and dragged him behind.

Bajie: Let me go, I will scold him to death!

He thinks he is so handsome, why does he say I am ugly!

Tang Shan: It seems that being handsome does have its advantages.

"Uncle, we are from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, traveling to the Western Paradise to obtain Buddhist scriptures. We are passing through your precious place. Could you lend us a place to rest?"

Sha Seng covered Bajie with one hand and whispered in his ear, "Look at Master, how polite he is. Second Brother, you should learn to knock on the door in the future."

Bajie: “Woo woo woo…”

Was I being impolite? He was judging people by their appearance!

Let me go quickly, otherwise none of my brothers and I will be able to do this.

Wukong said quietly, "If you make any more noise, you'll sleep outside by yourself."

The strength of Bajie's struggle suddenly disappeared, and Sha Seng felt that the person in his hand had finally calmed down.

Even though Tang Shan had explained the reason in a gentle tone, the old man still refused to back down.

"You are from the Tang Dynasty, so you must be very rich, right?"

His mercenary eyes kept sizing up Tang Shan, "With this kind of appearance and demeanor, you don't look like someone who is short of money."

Tang Shan was shocked. What the hell? I, a holy monk, have to pay for accommodation?

After so long of seeking the scriptures, this is the first time I’ve encountered something so outrageous!

Bajie instantly exploded again, "Don't stop me, he's really going too far!"

Ok?

He looked back and saw Sha Seng and Xiaobai were several steps away from him.

There was no movement of his hands to stop her, and there seemed to be a hint of encouragement and support in his eyes.

Bajie blinked his eyes desperately, didn't he? Stop me now!

Sha Seng and Xiaobai shook their heads slightly and said, "Go ahead. We also think this old man is going a bit too far."

The master worked so hard to obtain Mahayana Buddhism for the people of the world, and asked for nothing in return but only for a place to stay for one night. Yet, he actually asked the master for money!

Wukong said angrily, "You old man are so heartless! My master is a holy monk. If you don't want to lend me the land, just tell me so. Why are you still asking for money?"

The old man was not afraid of Wukong's anger. "Since you are a holy monk, can you subdue demons and monsters and drive away evil spirits?"

Wukong said, "That's a piece of cake."
