It's approaching noon.

Tang Seng, who was walking slowly with his white horse, found a shady place, sat down on a rock, and shouted to Cheng Long, who was leading the way, "Lord Mountain God, the sun is getting brighter, sit down and rest for a while!"

"Okay, I'll go get some water."

Cheng Long walked to the horse's back, took out Tang Monk's purple gold bowl, and teleported to Yingchou Gorge in Panshe Mountain ten miles away.

The Third Prince of Jade Dragon, who was to be beheaded for arson and burning the pearl bestowed by the Jade Emperor, was spared the death penalty because of the intervention of Avalokitesvara. At this moment, he was waiting for the arrival of the pilgrim in Yingchou Gorge. When he saw Cheng Long teleported here alone, he subconsciously became very alert.

However, Cheng Long only washed his face by the water, then filled a bowl with water, and disappeared from the spot in a flash...

"The appearance of the Great Sage Equaling Heaven, Sun Wukong, means that Tang Monk is on the way. We can finally leave this damn place!" Ao Lie, the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, secretly rejoiced.

Yingchou Stream is deep, steep and wide, with clear water. The water is good, but the stream is too small. Normally, people have to transform into human form to live in the water. If they change back to their original form, it would be difficult for them to even curl up and sleep.

He had had enough of this kind of hard life.

On the other side, since Cheng Long did not delay much, he disappeared for less than five seconds and came back with a bowl of clear water. The mountain spirits and monsters in the mountains who smelled the scent of human beings retreated one after another.

Tang Seng, who was sitting on a rock to rest, had no idea what kind of horrible treatment Cheng Long would encounter if he came back later.

Cheng Long, who sensed all this, couldn't help but frown.

In just this short period of time, the monsters in the mountains and wilds actually took the initiative to approach Tang Seng. After he came back, they regained their sanity and dispersed on their own initiative.

If you say there is nothing wrong with it, he would never believe it even if you kill him.

"Hasn't the Buddhist sect taken care of everything? How come there are such unexpected events on the journey to the West?" Thinking of the evil spirit that suddenly appeared last night and the mountain spirits and monsters that gathered around Tang Monk today, Cheng Long had to put away his playful intentions and start taking the journey to the West seriously.

At least nothing can happen to Tang Seng until the White Dragon Horse, Bajie and Sha Seng are all in place.

Because something happened to Tang Seng at this time, the responsibility of the Buddhist meeting would be put on him. He might not be able to gain merit but get into trouble instead.

“My Lord Mountain God, I saw you steamed some buns before you set out. Could you give me a few to try?” Tang Seng drank some stream water to moisten his throat, but his stomach started to growl.

"Elder Tang, just call me Brother Sun. I'm just a small mountain god and don't deserve the title of sir." Cheng Long said as he took four vegetable buns and handed them to Tang Seng.

Tang Seng received the steaming hot buns and asked in surprise, "Brother Sun, how come these buns are still hot?"

"The storage ring I made has a static space inside. Anything put in it will remain in its original state." Cheng Long explained casually, then took out eight tiger meat buns and enjoyed them happily.

As soon as he bit into it, the stewed soft tiger meat exuded a rich meaty aroma. Even though the vegetable buns in Tang Seng's mouth tasted quite delicious, he still couldn't help but look up.

Cheng Long noticed this scene and said with a smile: "Elder Tang, I wonder if you have ever heard of this saying?"

Tang Seng asked in confusion: "Which sentence?"

"After the wine and meat pass through the intestines, it remains in the heart of the Buddha!"

Cheng Long ate the fragrant tiger meat buns while explaining, "This is what a crazy monk who loves wine and meat said. I think it makes sense. What do you think?"

"Brother Sun, I think this monk is not crazy at all. On the contrary, he is very wise. It's just that... ordinary monks who disregard the rules and regulations are more likely to commit mistakes and sins."

Tang Seng thought about it and gave this reply.

Cheng Long couldn't help but give Tang Seng a thumbs up and praised him, "Elder Tang is worthy of being Guanyin's sister... a high-level monk valued by the Bodhisattva, whose essence can be seen at a glance. In fact, I just said the first half of the sentence, and the crazy monk also said the second half, which is "If people in the world learn from me, it is like entering the devil's way." "

"I see. May I know your Dharma name, Senior?"

"Don't say it, don't say it..."

Cheng Long smiled but said nothing. It was not that he wanted to keep the secret, but the Arhat Subduing the Dragon had not been demoted yet, and the title of Jidian Living Buddha naturally could not be revealed casually, as this would leak the secret.

After a short rest.

The two of them set out again and walked ten miles. Depending on each person's pace, it would take about one to two hours. Although Tang Seng was a delicate monk, he was able to endure hardships. It only took him an hour and a half to reach Yingchou Gorge where Ao Lie was lurking.

"Brother Sun, I am a little thirsty. Let's dismount and take a rest."

Tang Monk, who had been struggling along the way, did not show any relaxation in front of Cheng Long as he did in the TV series Journey to the West. He walked and stopped as he pleased, and every time he sat down to rest, he would ask for the other party's opinion.

Sometimes when Cheng Long saw that Tang Seng was tired, he would take the initiative to ask him to stop and rest, and the two of them got along quite well.

Tang Seng dismounted and washed his face, then scooped a bowl of clean water with a purple gold bowl. Just as he was about to drink the water, a white light flashed by.

Bah!

A horse drinking water not far away screamed.

"How dare you to cause trouble to this mountain god!" Cheng Long snorted softly, and smashed the golden cudgel hard into the water in front of him, splashing water all over the sky.

Tang Seng looked frightened and hurriedly asked Sun Wukong, "Brother Sun, what happened? Why is the horse gone?"

Cheng Long protected Tang Seng behind him, holding the golden hoop in one hand, and stared at the pond warily, saying, "I didn't expect there was a demon dragon lurking here. Your horse has been swallowed by the demon dragon."

"Ah? This... what should we do?" Tang Seng panicked and said, "Brother Sun, since there is a demon dragon here, we should leave as soon as possible!"

"What are you afraid of? Don't you want your luggage? I'm here. It's just a wicked dragon. Watch me, I'll skin him alive and pull out his tendons..."

Cheng Long narrowed his eyes, ready to kill, but just as he was about to do so, a auspicious cloud floated in from afar.

The voice of Guanyin Bodhisattva was heard from above the auspicious clouds.

"Goku, show mercy."

"Buddha!"

"Amitabha, I have met the Bodhisattva Avalokitesvara."

Cheng Long looked up and stared at Guanyin Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva Guanyin, riding on the auspicious clouds, looked more dignified and holy than before, and was quite good to look at.

But he still prefers Sister Guanyin without the holy light special effect, because it is easier to get along with her. As if sensing Cheng Long's inner thoughts, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled slightly, removed the holy light on her body, descended from the clouds and walked towards the two of them, saying: "Xuanzang, I calculated with my fingers and knew that you would lose your strength here, so I came here specially to give you strength."

Cheng Long put away his golden hoop and interrupted, "The evil dragon here swallowed Elder Tang's horse. Since the Bodhisattva said that he came to provide Elder Tang with strength, where is the horse?"

Guanyin smiled while holding a flower, turned around and raised her hand slightly towards the pool in front of her, saying: "Third Prince, the one who went west to seek the scriptures is here, why don't you come out and greet me quickly."

As the Bodhisattva finished speaking, a beam of white light suddenly burst out from the pool.

A pure white jade dragon roared up into the sky and then transformed into a human form, who was a handsome and noble young man, none other than the Third Prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea.

Ao Lie was gentle and polite. He stepped forward and bowed to Tang Seng. "Little White Dragon didn't know that Master Xuanzang had come. He swallowed his mount by mistake. He was terrified. He is willing to transform into a white dragon horse and accompany the master to the West to obtain the scriptures."

After saying that, the little white dragon soared into the sky, with colorful light blooming all over its body. It then transformed into a handsome white horse and came flying through the air, landing in front of Tang Seng.

Lose an ordinary white horse and get a white dragon horse in exchange!

This deal was quite a good deal, and Tang Seng smiled from ear to ear. He touched the white dragon horse that the jade dragon had transformed into with both excitement and trepidation...

Seeing this, Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and said, "No mortal horse can make it through the thousands of mountains and rivers to the West. Only this white dragon horse can help Sanzang go to the Great Leiyin Temple in Lingshan to seek the true scriptures."

Cheng Long looked at the white dragon horse and nodded slightly, saying, "It is indeed a good horse. Elder Tang will no longer have to worry about the horse running away. He will be able to get through the mountains and rivers smoothly."

"We have to thank the Bodhisattva and the Third Prince!"

Tang Seng was extremely satisfied with this white dragon horse. In the past, he had to lead the horse when walking on mountain roads, for fear that the horse would run away accidentally.

Now that we have the White Dragon Horse, we can travel a thousand miles a day without worrying about the horse not being able to endure the hardship. Our future journeys will be many times more enjoyable.

"The horse can only make you feel more comfortable, but the difficulties and obstacles ahead are no less. Only those with a firm will can obtain the true scriptures!"

After Guanyin Bodhisattva finished speaking, she nodded at Cheng Long and then flew away on a cloud.

After a short rest, the two set out again. This time with the white dragon horse, they were much faster. Before dark, they had covered another ten miles.

"Elder Tang, let's rest here tonight! I have prepared a tent, which is not only rainproof but also heat-keeping..." Cheng Long said as he built the tent he took out from the storage ring. The tent was made of waterproof material. Tang Seng found it very novel. He touched it for a while and it felt soft, but he couldn't feel the specific material.

When the tent was set up, Tang Seng lifted the curtain and walked in. He fell in love with the tent at first sight. Not only could he sleep inside, but there were also mats and blankets. Even in the small space, he felt very safe.

"Brother Sun, with this tent, I will feel much more at ease on my journeys in the future. I don't have to worry about walking until dark, and I can set up camp anytime and anywhere. It's wonderful." Tang Seng liked this feeling. Before he met Cheng Long, what he feared most was sleeping in the wilderness.

Now, we have a detachable tent that is both warm and waterproof. Even if it rains all night, we don’t have to worry about getting wet.

"You've just arrived. When I have time, I'll build you a mobile wooden house. When I pass by the market, I'll buy you some good furniture..." Cheng Long said cheerfully.

"Brother Sun, a tent is enough. Don't build a mobile cabin. I am going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures, not to enjoy happiness. I am very satisfied with a place to shelter from the wind and rain."

What Tang Seng said was right. He was worried about the wind and rain before. Sun exposure was not a big deal, at most he would just lose a few layers of skin. But wind and rain would cause him to catch a cold.

Once you catch a cold, you are fighting your life against nature and you never know when you may die.

Now that his worries have been resolved and he can camp anywhere, he is quite satisfied.

After moving all the luggage into the tent, Cheng Long took out two steamed buns and two vegetable buns for Tang Seng, and then took out eight meat buns for himself.

"Brother Sun, I'm lucky to have you along the way. Not only do I have a place to stay, but I don't even have to worry about food."

After eating the delicious vegetable buns he had been longing for, Tang Seng's face was filled with satisfaction.

After meeting the Mountain God, he felt like he was enjoying himself. Apart from the hardship of traveling during the day, he didn't have to worry about food, drink and shelter.

"Don't be happy too soon. I only prepared one basket of vegetable buns and one basket of steamed buns for you. They won't last for a few days." Cheng Long is not Tang Seng's personal chef. After the vegetable buns and steamed buns in the storage ring are finished, he will have to eat wild vegetables and drink porridge.

As for himself?
Then we must hunt and eat barbecue!

Whether he can eat well in the future depends on whether Tang Seng is willing to break his vows.

"Brother Sun, the buns you eat smell so good, can you give me a few too?"

As the aroma of the steaming tiger meat buns wafted into the nose of Ao Lie, the third prince of the West Sea, the white dragon horse that transformed into a white dragon horse for Tang Monk to ride could no longer contain itself and transformed into a human form. It quickly walked up to Cheng Long to ask for the food.

"I thought it was enough for you to eat grass, here you go!"

Cheng Long casually handed three meat buns to Ao Lie. For immortals like them, they eat only to satisfy their appetite, not to get full.

So it doesn’t matter how much you eat, what matters is whether it tastes good and whether it can satisfy your craving.

After Ao Lie finished eating three meat buns, he contentedly turned into a white dragon horse and fell asleep under a tree next to the tent.

Cheng Long gave the inner tent to Tang Seng and stayed in the outer tent, sitting cross-legged and closing his eyes to comprehend the principles.

Unlike last night, tonight was calm and peaceful, without a single abnormality. Perhaps it was because Cheng Long had not slept the whole night and had scared off the people who secretly interfered with Journey to the West.

The next morning, after a simple wash and two steamed buns, Tang Seng mounted the white dragon horse and began a new day's journey. The two men and the horse slept in the open air for about twenty days before they finally arrived at a place.

From afar, you can see a solemn and majestic Zen temple!

Cheng Long saw the sign in front of the temple clearly, turned around and said to Tang Seng: "Elder Tang, there is a Guanyin temple ahead. It seems that we can't hurry on today."

"Since it is a Guanyin Temple, we must go in to worship and ask for a vegetarian meal."

Tang Seng looked up and saw that the Guanyin Temple was backed by a majestic mountain range and covered a large area. It was strange that he didn't see any village on the way here.

There are very few temples built at the foot of the mountain that are not popular.

Cheng Long's focus is mainly on Black Wind Ridge, where there is a black bear demon. It is the unlucky guy who was forced to move here and had his bear paws chopped off twice.

The Black Bear Demon is different from other monsters. He does not covet Tang Monk's flesh. Instead, like the abbot of Guanyin Temple, he is greedy for rare treasures. Because of a brocade cassock, he fell into disaster. Eventually, Guanyin took the opportunity to save him and he became the guardian god of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the South China Sea.

He is called the mountain guardian god, but in essence he is just a thug who guards Guanyin's house. In order to imprison the black bear demon and eat its paws, Guanyin Bodhisattva even put a golden hoop on the black bear demon. (End of this chapter)
