Chapter 427 (The vast sea of ??trees)
Sea of trees...
Tang Sanzang and his group did not have crossed, but they were also big trees that could reach the sky and could only be hugged by two or three adults. There was a huge gap between them. It was not difficult to pass through them. It was a bit difficult to just step on the thick dead leaves.
But what is blocking Tang Sanzang and his group are now patches of vines and thorns. Rather than saying it is a sea of trees, it looks more like a spider web that is surrounded by brown and green in countless miles.
In the westbound procession, monkeys usually look for vegetarian food, or go to the front to explore the way, etc. Sha Monk carries his luggage to take care of Tang Sanzang's daily life. As for Zhu Bajie's smartest, it is that he inherits the "opening the way" in his name.
But with the ability of a white dragon horse, he crossed mountains and ridges as if walking on flat ground. For a long time, Zhu Bajie has basically just carried the nine-toothed rake lazily and followed him.
However, there were endless vines and thorns in front of me, and the white dragon horse could not have carried Tang Sanzang over directly.
Even if Ao Yu didn't care whether these vines would scratch their own scales or the like, he was unwilling to let things mess up the appearance of the Holy Monk brother.
Therefore... Zhu Bajie suffered...
"Okay, idiot, don't be sad and resentful. Haven't you ever boasted that your nine-toothed rake is the most suitable for opening the way? Why did you feel soft and feel like a resentful woman at the critical moment of your performance?"
The monkey put his hands on the back of his head, teasing Zhu Bajie while grinning a big smile.
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he reluctantly thrust his mouth and nose, but he did not dare to relax at all when he was at hand. The recognized magic weapon "Shangbaoqin Jinrai" flew up and down, cutting the vines and thorns blocking the road in front of him into pieces, and forcibly opening a way out.
It took another half a day to repeat this boring mechanical work, which made Zhu Bajie feel so distressed that he couldn't help but vomit a catchphrase.
"There has been no more affectionate since ancient times, and this hatred is endless... Why, why am I so miserable?"
"Idiot, don't be lazy, save energy and warm your belly. The road to thorns is still growing." With such boredom, the monkey who had already flown into the air reminded Zhu Bajie.
"Brother Monkey, how far is this road?" Zhu Bajie raised his head, looked at the endless sea of trees that had passed for a long time, and couldn't help but ask.
When the monkey heard this, his golden eyes lit up slightly with golden light, and after a moment, he replied.
"Twenty miles west of this place, there is an empty place, with a stone tablet in it, which reads 'Thorns climb 800 miles, and there have been few roads since ancient times.' However, it is a long time ago, and there are still trees that grow thousands of miles away."
"Eight hundred miles? Thousand miles?"
When Zhu Bajie heard this, he felt that the usual nine-toothed rake in his hand was extremely heavy.
Not to mention a thousand miles, even eight hundred miles, then when will the vines and thorns be hoed with a rake?
It should be noted that at present, the density of these vines and thorns is spread all over every inch, and you have to use a nine-toothed rake to open the way almost every step you take.
Immediately, Zhu Bajie, who was already on the verge of falling ill, spoke weakly. "Master, Brother Monkey, this progress is really too slow. Why not let the fire go? If you fan the fire over, you will naturally burn the westward road."
However, before the monkey could speak, Tang Sanzang taught his anger seriously. "Bajie must not have such thoughts. The plants and trees may not be affectionate, but they can be regarded as life. How can they be set on fire? Not to mention that they are not well controlled, but they really burned all the sea of trees and turned into white land. What is the benefit of the heaven and earth?"
After a pause, Tang Sanzang's tone eased a little, and he said, "Now that we are traveling west, we are blocking the road by vines and thorns. We need to open a road and break some vines and thorns, which will not hurt their roots. It is still a way of compassion, but the saying of setting fire is absolutely absolutely not allowed."
“Yes, Master.”
After being scolded by Tang Sanzang like this, Zhu Bajie no longer dared to have any objection. He had to work hard and vomited out the laziness he had been stolen for several years at once.
Tang Sanzang did not have the intention of heartache Zhu Bajie, or asked monkeys and Sha Seng to help.
In the past few years, Zhu Bajie has had more laziness than hesitated in daily life. If it weren't for the monkeys who often stared at him, I'm afraid that Zhu Bajie would have to gain a few more pounds of fat when he traveled westward.
Now, Zhu Bajie can just fill in the laziness of the past, so as not to really go to the Lingshan Mountain in Xitian and achieve the right result. Zhu Bajie was also lazy and only had a memorial position because of his lack of food and laziness.
After all, a mere "Emeng Fruit Position" is not at the same level as the former "Master Tianpeng True Lord".
Time flies, with Tang Sanzang and Monkey behind the scenes, even if Zhu Bajie feels that the work he does today is enough to "get off work", he still dares not relax at all.
He opened up another twenty-mile path and walked to the empty place where the monkey said just now, "The thorns climbed 800 miles, and there were few people walking in ancient times." It was dusk that Tang Sanzang and his party rested.
Zhu Bajie, who thought in his heart that there were countless beautiful ladies in the Kingdom of Women, could only lift his hands for a long time, walked to the back of the stone tablet, carved it with a nine-toothed rake, and said lyricically.
"What a mess? I'll add a few words to you when Lao Zhu: 'From now on Bajie can break through, and the Western road will be smooth!'"
Seeing this, the monkey beside him couldn't help but look at the words engraved by Zhu Bajie, and smiled. "You idiot, you have been boasting for yourself before you have reached one tenth of the sea of trees in this thousand miles?"
"Hmph, I'm just afraid that my speed is too fast, and my master can't catch up with it while riding a horse. Otherwise, I'll be able to penetrate this sea of trees in one day." Zhu Bajie held his big belly and said with a little pride.
Sha Seng, who had just put down his luggage, also walked over, glanced at the stone tablet, blinked his eyes and commented, "Second Brother, your word is too ugly, right? How did you practice the word when you were a child in this life?"
As he spoke, Sha Seng reacted and said, "Sorry, Sorry, Second Senior Brother, I forgot that you probably hadn't cultivated your human body when you were a child, and you can't practice pig's hooves anymore."
?
Zhu Bajie.
The monkey, Benzheng, Zhu Bajie, Sha Seng and other relaxedly chatted and laughed, suddenly felt that the sea of trees was moving unnaturally, and instinctively turned around and looked in the direction of Tang Sanzang.
