Journey to the West: Begins with Tiger Vanguard

Chapter 110 Missing!

A quarter of an hour ago.

It was dark.

When the skinny Sun Wukong quickly flew over the tall and thick walls of Chechi Kingdom and entered the outer city, he saw the brightly lit streets and the bustling crowds of people in the huge outer city. His eyes suddenly lit up and he couldn't help but think to himself: "It seems that it is just as Master said. The people in this country live and work in peace and contentment, and have enough food and clothing."

Suddenly I felt like playing.

Sun Wukong landed on the street, looking left and right.
Try something at this stall, take a bite at that shop, eat anything that looks delicious, and take anything that looks interesting.

Anyway, no one would notice him, and no one would know what he took. They would just think that something was missing, something was stolen, or he forgot about it.
We ate and drank quickly along the street.

He had a small stomach, unlike his second junior brother Bajie, who didn't eat even half the way down the street. He felt he had eaten enough, so he stopped and remembered the purpose of his trip, so he quickly headed towards the inner city.

The streets in the inner city are wider and cleaner, and the houses are neater, better and quieter.

But Sun Wukong only felt that the outer city was better and more lively.

After entering the inner city, I had no intention of playing around and just kept walking towards the depths of the inner city.

All the way deep.

It didn't take long.

Sun Wukong came to the prime location in the inner city, which was also the original site of Fayuan Temple when Buddhist monks were powerful more than 20 years ago.

But now, the original Dafayuan Temple has long been reduced to ashes, and in its place is a huge and majestic Taoist temple with a bustling incense and a constant flow of people at night.

"Golden Mountain View"

Looking at the three characters on the imposing archway, and then looking at the crowds of people in front of him who were crowding in to burn incense even at night, Sun Wukong smiled and suddenly said to himself: "These monsters all want to become immortals. Isn't it better for me to be free?"

shook his head.

Sun Wukong went straight towards the Golden Mountain Temple.

He could feel that not only was the tiger demon he had seen before and was called the National Master here, but two other demons with even smaller auras were also here.

But that has nothing to do with him.

His current mission is to protect his master Tang Sanzang on his way to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. As long as it does not affect himself, he will not care about anything else, just like he had discovered those monsters hidden in the human world in other countries before.

This time, he just came to find out the situation.

Entered the outer courtyard.

Sun Wukong soon saw the statue of the god being worshipped by the people in the main hall of the outer courtyard.

I originally thought it was another tiger demon who didn't know what was good for him, erected a monument and a statue for himself, enjoyed the incense of the world, and didn't know whether to live or die.

But after just a glance, he found something wrong. The majestic statue in the temple was not the tiger demon he had seen before, but seemed to be a god.

He immediately stopped and looked carefully. He felt that the statue looked familiar, but he couldn't remember it at the moment. He looked at the tablet beside him.
Sun Wukong reacted immediately and laughed: "Master Zhang, it's actually Master Zhang."

There are some rules to follow when it comes to worshipping this kind of statue, and it cannot be done randomly.

For example, in Taoist temples, the primary deities worshipped are usually the Three Pure Ones of Taoism, and then their related ancestors and the like.

In Buddhist temples, there are usually several Buddhas from Mount Lingshan in the West.

As for ordinary families, they serve everyone, so they are not representative.

Therefore, from the objects of these worships, we can see the roots and tendencies behind some Taoist temples.

The fact that this tiger demon who was the national master of Chechi State actually served Zhang Tianshi, one of the four heavenly masters in heaven, was something worth talking about.

Thinking of this.

Sun Wukong then thought of what Junior Brother Sha had said before he left, that the tiger demon's magic power smelled familiar.

blinked.

I kept this matter in mind.

Sun Wukong then moved backwards.

When he passed by the house where the two little monsters were, he was too lazy to look and walked straight towards the corner tower where the tiger monster was.

then.

When Sun Wukong climbed up to the highest corner tower in the backyard of Jinshan Temple, he saw that the "pass document" he had handed over to the official at the city gate at noon today actually appeared in the hands of the tiger monster in front of him.

For a while.

Sun Wukong felt the anger that he had been waiting for half a day suddenly surge up in his heart, and he was immediately furious: "Okay, I said it was just a matter of handing over a "pass", it wouldn't take that long, how dare the king not send someone to greet the master who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East!"

“It turns out that my master’s “pass document” was not only not handed over, but also appeared in the hands of this tiger monster!”

At this moment, Sun Wukong immediately had the idea of ​​showing up and teaching the tiger demon a lesson.

But then, he saw the tiger demon tremble with fear, and then closed the "pass document", and immediately angrily scolded the half-human, half-ghost thing beside him: "Go, send someone to guard the palace, and wait until the gate opens tomorrow morning, and send this "pass document" to the palace as soon as possible and present it to His Majesty!"

Hear this.

Sun Wukong's anger, which had just risen up, quickly dissipated.

"Let's see."

"I know that no one dares to neglect their master."

"This tiger demon has quite a bit of experience."

For a moment, seeing that the tiger demon was frightened by his master's identity as the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, Sun Wukong, as the master's eldest disciple, couldn't help but feel a little "honored".

It's a pity that he can't show up now, otherwise if the tiger demon saw the Monkey King who made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and the most famous demon in the world, appearing before him, he would definitely be even more frightened.

What a pity.
Unable to show his divine power in front of others for a while, Sun Wukong suddenly felt an unbearable itchiness all over his body.

He immediately grabbed several handfuls all over his body.

Stopped the itching.

Sun Wukong then thought that the tiger demon was the state teacher of Chechi Kingdom and had a high status. It was estimated that after his master met the king tomorrow, he would definitely be able to meet him again. It would not be too late to reveal his identity then.

He didn't believe that his identity as the Monkey King and the most famous demon in history could not compare to his master's identity as the younger brother of the Tang Dynasty emperor.

At this time, I watched the ghost thing that was neither human nor ghost being scolded by the tiger demon and hurriedly took the master's "pass certificate" and left.

Sun Wukong no longer felt itchy, nor did he have the intention to take back the "pass document" right now. He turned around and left the corner tower.

As for whether the Jindan-level tiger demon behind him would discover that he had been there.

Sun Wukong never thought about it at all.

Because that's simply impossible.

After visiting the Jinshan Temple where the tiger monster is located.

Sun Wukong no longer had the heart to wander around, as he came here just to gather information. After learning about the "pass document" and finding out some details about the tiger monster, he turned around and headed out of the city.

Not long after.

When Sun Wukong, who had been sitting motionless against the wall outside the city of Chechi, suddenly moved, the big black Zhu Bajie beside him immediately asked, "Brother, are you back?"

Sun Wukong nodded.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Bajie came forward and asked again, "So what? Did you find out anything?"

Sha Wujing on the other side also turned his head immediately.

"It's unlucky."

Sun Wukong stood up and said, "I said that the 'pass' would not take that long to be delivered to the king of this country. It turns out that it was never delivered at all. Instead, it was delivered to the tiger monster we saw earlier."

"What should I do?"

Hearing what his senior brother said, Zhu Bajie immediately said, "So, senior brother, did you kill the tiger monster and get back our "pass document"? " "That's not the case."

Sun Wukong said, walked to the side and sat on a suitcase, crossed his legs and said: "The tiger demon came back late, and was frightened when he saw our "pass document". He ordered people to guard in front of the palace tonight and deliver it to the king early in the morning. He is quite sensible."

"Besides, didn't you hear it before? That tiger demon is the national teacher of Chechi State and is trusted by all the people. How can I kill him casually?"

talking.

Sun Wukong looked at Sha Wujing and said, "Sha Junior Brother, that monster has a Taoist temple in the inner city of that country. Do you know who he worships in the temple?"

Sha Seng didn't say anything, so Zhu Bajie immediately asked curiously, "How can a monster like him build a Taoist temple? Who can he worship?"

"hey-hey."

Hearing Bajie's words, Sun Wukong chuckled and said, "You will never guess that the person he worships in his temple is Zhang Tianshi. Didn't expect that, did you?"

"Zhang Tianshi"

Upon hearing this name, Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were a little surprised.

Zhu Bajie then subconsciously said: "Oh, I thought it was someone else, just Zhang Tianshi, who hasn't I seen when I was in heaven?"

"go"

Hearing that Zhu Bajie had changed the subject again, Sun Wukong simply ignored him and looked at Sha Seng and said, "Junior Brother Sha, what do you think?"

Of course, Sha Seng knew what the eldest brother meant, so he said, "If the monster has some relationship with Zhang Tianshi, then it makes sense that his skills are familiar to me."

Sun Wukong nodded when he heard it: "Indeed, that monster only worships Zhang Tianshi, so there must be some connection."

not far away.

Tang Sanzang was sleeping soundly.

The three disciples are all three great demons, so they won’t be in any trouble.

Let’s talk about it.

The night passed in the blink of an eye.

Early the next morning.

When Tang Sanzang woke up, the city gate had already been opened, and a long queue formed in front of the gate again.

The third disciple and Tang Sanzang lined up again.

Sun Wukong originally thought that they would be able to enter the city soon this time and someone would come back to greet them, but they waited until noon when the sun was at its highest point in the sky, and no one came to greet them, which made the four rows of master and apprentices very anxious and upset.

"Brother, didn't you say that the monster presented our "pass document"?"

The big black fat Zhu Bajie didn't know whether it was the first time he mentioned this matter, but he couldn't help but ask, "Is it fake again? You weren't fooled by that monster, were you?"

"You must have been tricked by that monster!"

“I was cheated.”

Sun Wukong had always been proud and arrogant, and was already annoyed and angry at this moment. He had been pressured by Bajie to bring up this matter several times, so naturally he had long suspected what he had seen of the monster at the Jinshan Temple last night!

But the tiger demon was only at the level of a Jindan, how could it have noticed that I was beside it? And how could it have deliberately said that to me?
Although he is impulsive and irritable, he is definitely not stupid.

Recalling the monster's appearance at that time, and being certain that the monster didn't know he existed, let alone lie to him, Sun Wukong was annoyed by Zhu Bajie's words, and immediately turned to Zhu Bajie and shouted fiercely: "Go!"

"It will soon be our turn. Once we enter the city and meet the king, we will know the outcome!"

It is golden autumn.

Although the weather is cool, the sky is blue today and the sun is warm. It has been shining since morning and has been shining all morning. It is naturally nothing to the Monkey King and the three demons, but it is a bit hot for Tang Sanzang, a mortal who has specially changed into bright robes, is fully armed and has a lot of clothes.

His face was sunburned red, his forehead was covered with sweat, and the inside of his thick monk's hat, the Vimalakirti hat, was soaked with sweat. His entire bald head was wet, which was really uncomfortable.

But there were many people around at this time, so Tang Sanzang couldn't take off his monk's hat to wipe it. That was not decent and would insult the dignity of Buddhism. So he could only wipe the sweat stains on his forehead. He was really angry. He looked at the eldest disciple in front of him and cursed: "You monkey, you just want to trick me, saying that the king of this country will come to pick me up early today, but I have been waiting until now!"

"In the future, if you can't do something, don't lie to me!"

Hearing the master finally scolding his senior brother, Zhu Bajie beside him immediately laughed and said, "That's right, senior brother always brags!"

But this time he really was bragging. Sun Wukong didn't dare to confront his master, but he was not polite to the second in command, Zhu Bajie. He immediately turned around and looked at Zhu Bajie with a murderous and ferocious face, baring his teeth.

Zhu Bajie, who only cared about food but not beatings, was startled when he saw his senior brother like this. He knew that his senior brother was really angry, so he immediately admitted his fear and lowered his head to touch his pig nose, not daring to say anything else. At this time, he saw that the line in front of him was empty, so he immediately shouted, "Senior brother, it's our turn, it's our turn, hehe."

Only then did Sun Wukong give up.

He walked forward with his fellow apprentices and master behind him.

Seeing the four monks and their horses approaching, the surrounding guards immediately revealed expressions of disgust.

at the same time.

Inside the main hall of the inner city imperial palace.

On the throne, a middle-aged king in gorgeous robes sat in the center.

On the right side, the Imperial Master, dressed in an exquisite black robe, sat quietly.

Under the throne.

They are the civil and military officials in the country.

At this time, the middle-aged king held a bright yellow "pass document" in his shaking hand and said, "Tell me, should we meet this monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East?"

"Your Majesty, the Tang Dynasty in the East is rumored to be the Celestial Empire."

At this time, a minister immediately bowed and stepped out of the line, saying: "The territory is vast and the troops are numerous. I think it is better to meet them!"

"So what if the Tang Dynasty is vast, has many soldiers and generals, and is so powerful?"

At this time, another minister stepped out and said, "The Tang Dynasty is so far away from our Chechi Kingdom. If they want to threaten us, wait until their troops can get here. In my opinion, we should just expel those monks!"

"I think it's okay to meet him. There's no harm in meeting him."

"I think there is no need to see him. Buddhist monks are not good people. Don't you know that? He is just a monk from the Tang Dynasty. So what? It is Your Majesty's kindness to let him enter the city. Do you still want to see Your Majesty?"

"I also think it's okay to meet him. After all, the Tang Dynasty is the Celestial Empire."

"I disagree"

Seeing the ministers arguing endlessly, the king looked at Qi Hu who was sitting quietly beside him and asked, "What does the Imperial Master think?"

Qi Hu said calmly: "Your Majesty, just keep your heart, as for the Tang Dynasty, there is no need to worry."

The words fell.

The hall suddenly became quiet.

On the throne, the middle-aged king nodded with satisfaction and said, "Tell them that no matter how powerful the Tang Dynasty is, it has nothing to do with Chechi. They can stay in Chechi, but they don't have to meet again. By the way, return this to them."

Having said that, the middle-aged king threw the pass in his hand down.

at the same time.

In front of the huge city gate.

The official who had been making things difficult for the pilgrims heard the people behind him whispering, and then he looked at the monk in front of him and said, "It's past, let's go in!"

"But you are not allowed to cause trouble. If anyone dares to cause trouble, don't blame us for being rude!"

Tang Sanzang, who finally got through, breathed a sigh of relief and left with a few disciples.

However, at this time, no matter how slow he was, he also noticed something was wrong. He immediately approached Sun Wukong and asked in a low voice: "Wukong, why do I feel that they are treating us so badly?"

Sun Wukong, with a frown on his face, immediately soothed him, "Master, let's talk inside first, let's talk inside first."
