Chapter 486: Houses in the Wilderness

After Zhu Bajie said this, he paused and continued:

"Brother Monkey, look at the white horse that the master rides is fat and strong. It only carries the master alone. You give the master a few pieces of luggage for everything. It is also a brotherly love!"

Sun Wukong heard this and said to Zhu Bajie:

"You are talking about the first horse that the master rides. Although he is a horse, it is not an ordinary horse. This horse was originally the son of the Dragon King of the West Sea. It was renamed the Third Prince Longma just because he set fire to the pearl in the palace."

"He was accused by his father of going to heaven to violate the laws of heaven. Thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva for saving him, he was waiting for his master. If it weren't for Guanyin Bodhisattva, the third prince would have disappeared long ago."

Zhu Bajie heard this and patted the horse next to Tang Xuanzang and said:

"Brother Monkey, is this thing really a dragon?"

After Sun Wukong saw Zhu Bajie's actions, he smiled and said to Zhu Bajie:

"It's a dragon. He has an incredible ability. When he runs, he splashes dust and you can't figure out his speed."

After saying this, Sun Wukong raised the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand and planned to hit the white dragon horse from behind. When the white dragon horse saw the stick, he quickly ran away, and the dust suddenly flew into the air. After a while, he ran to a hill on the opposite side. .

When Tang Xuanzang saw his white dragon horse running so fast, he was so frightened that his legs and feet became weak and he was panting, so he asked Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, what is going on? Why is this horse running so fast?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, don't panic. Don't worry about why this horse runs so fast. First, see where this horse takes you!"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, Xuanzang took a closer look and found that the green trees and grass were luxuriant, the lake was crisscrossed with algae, and the bamboos next to it were lush green.

I saw a house in front of me, with bursts of smoke floating above the house. At this moment, Sha Wujing suddenly said:

"Master, this horse ran so fast just now. Did you fall from it?"

Tang Xuanzang heard this and said to Sha Wujing:

"Don't worry about things. I'm lucky. At least I'm very skilled. Otherwise, I would really be thrown off by this horse."

Then Tang Xuanzang turned his gaze to Sun Wukong and said leisurely:

"Wukong, stop being naughty here. If you scare the horse again, I won't be able to ride it."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong could only nod his head to Tang Xuanzang. At this moment, Tang Xuanzang said to Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie Sha Wujing:

"Disciples, you see there is a house in front of you. I think it is getting late. How about we go in and rest for the night?"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he looked at Zhu Bajie, who was panting in pursuit of the white horse, and said:

"Master, it's better for us to stay here for one night and set off again tomorrow."

The reason why Sun Wukong agreed so quickly was because Sun Wukong saw bursts of Buddha's light flashing in each house, and Sun Wukong knew that it must have been transformed by his ancestors.

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he quickly dismounted his horse, went to the courtyard, looked around, and said to Sun Wukong:

"It seems that this place was once home to a wealthy family."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he ignored what Tang Xuanzang said and just barged in without permission. When Tang Xuanzang saw this, he quickly stopped Sun Wukong and said to Sun Wukong:

"Wukong, don't worry, you and I are both monks. We should avoid some suspicions. Don't break in without permission, and if you wait for someone to come out of his house, ask for accommodation."

Sun Wukong could only nodded when he heard this.

After a while, Sun Wukong could no longer wait any longer due to his impatience.

So Sun Wukong jumped up and went in to check. He saw three statues in the south hall, each with a door curtain hanging on it, and gold-plated pillars on both sides.

While Sun Wukong was peeking, there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind him, and suddenly the door opened, and an old woman who was nearly over 100 years old appeared.

An old woman asked Sun Wukong:

"What are you doing here at this late hour? This little shabby house of mine is not valuable at all. Please turn around and leave."

When Sun Wukong heard this, he realized that the old woman must have misunderstood something, so he explained to the old woman:

"Old lady, you must have misunderstood. We just saw it was getting so late tonight, so we wanted to stay here for the night and set off again tomorrow."

Afterwards, the old woman and Sun Wukong started talking to each other. When Tang Xuanzang saw that Sun Wukong didn't come back for a long time, he couldn't wait to walk over and said to the old woman:

"This benefactor, a poor monk, came from the Tang Dynasty in the east to seek scriptures from the west. It happened to be late and he passed by here and wanted to stay here for a while."

The old woman smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"In that case, come in quickly."

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he immediately felt very happy and quickly transformed into a white-faced scholar full of knowledge.

The old woman felt very happy when she saw this, and quickly invited them into the hall and treated them politely.

After a while, a maid suddenly appeared carrying a gold-inlaid plate and a jade cup, which exuded a strong aroma, and the fruit that was served was extremely fragrant.

At this moment, Tang Xuanzang asked the old woman:

"Old Bodhisattva, what is your name? And what is the name of this treasure place where you live?"

The old woman smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"This is the land of Hezhou in Xiniu. My surname is Jia, and my husband's surname is Mo. I and my husband continue to inherit the ancestral business. We have a fortune of tens of thousands of dollars and thousands of acres of fertile land."

"My husband and I have no sons, but we have three daughters. The eldest daughter unfortunately lost her husband in her early years."

The old woman shook her head and sighed.

Then Tang Xuanzang continued to ask the old woman:

"Why don't you see these three daughters of yours?"

The old woman smiled and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"These three daughters of mine usually don't see guests at all, so they don't get married and have children. Now that I have met the three elders, I have the urge to marry them to you. I don't know what the elders' impression is."

When Tang Xuanzang heard this, he pretended to be deaf and mute and kept silent about the matter. However, Zhu Bajie couldn't sit still, so he suddenly walked over to Tang Xuanzang and said to Tang Xuanzang:

"Master, the situation is so good now, why don't you agree? If you really don't want to, why not give this opportunity to me, old pig."

"You idiot, what are you thinking about? Our mission is to accompany the master to the West to learn scriptures, but you are here talking about common things."

Sun Wukong was so angry that he scratched his neck, gnashing his teeth, wishing he could crush Zhu Bajie to ashes.

An old man heard this and said to Sun Wukong with a smile:

"Don't be angry, elder. Your junior brother is considerate of us, mother and daughter. I think he is good."
