Tang Sanzang and his group arrived at the riverside, stopped their horses and looked, and there were indeed people walking on the road.

Tang Sanzang asked: "Donor, where are those people going on the ice?"

Old Chen looked at the direction the people were walking and replied: "The other side of the river is the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, and these people are all doing business.

Things worth a hundred coins here can be worth ten thousand coins there. Things worth a hundred coins there can also be worth ten thousand coins here.

Profits are more important than capital, so people go regardless of life and death. In most families, there are five or seven people on a boat, or a dozen people on a boat, and they sail across the ocean. Seeing the river now He was frozen, so he risked his life and walked. ”

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang sighed: “In this world, fame and fortune are the most important things. He is willing to sacrifice his life for the sake of profit. My disciple obeyed the order to be loyal, but it was only for fame. How different is he from him!”

So he said to Sun Wukong: “Wukong, go back to the donor’s house quickly, pack your bags, and ride on the horses. Take advantage of this layer of ice and rush to the west as soon as possible.”

Sun Wukong agreed with a smile, and returned to Chen’s house with a few servants and packed his bags.

Sha Monk said: "Master, as the saying goes, one eats a thousand liters of rice in a thousand days. I have asked Chen's mansion to let me stay for a few more days, and wait for the weather to clear up and thaw, and then I can get a boat to cross. I am afraid I will make mistakes in my hurry."

However, Sha Monk did not understand Tang Sanzang's urgency to obtain the scriptures. He only heard him say:

"Wu Jing, if it is February, it will be warmer day by day, and we can wait for the thaw. Now it is August, and it is colder day by day, how can we expect the thaw!"

After saying that, Tang Sanzang stepped on the ice, and it was as solid as a rock.

Zhu Bajie stepped forward to stop Tang Sanzang: "Be careful, Master, wait for me to test how thick it is."

Several people thought that Zhu Bajie was going to go up to test how thick the ice was, but he actually lifted his clothes and walked to the riverside, holding the palladium in both hands, and tried his best to build.

With a plop, he built nine white marks, and his hands were shaking and hurting.

Seeing this, Zhu Bajie was overjoyed and said, "Master, come and see, the ice has frozen to the bottom!"

Hearing this, Tang Sanzang walked over quickly and saw that the ice had indeed frozen to the bottom of the water. He was very happy.

He returned to Chen's house with the others and told them to pack up and leave.

The two old men could not stop them. Only after Sun Wukong repeatedly promised to subdue the demon did the others reluctantly let them go.

They arranged to bake and fry some dry food and make some sesame cakes and steamed buns for them to send off.

The family kowtowed and worshiped, and brought out a plate of scattered gold and silver, kneeling in front of him and saying: "Thank you for saving my son, elder. I will give you a meal as a token of my respect."

Tang Sanzang waved his hand and shook his head, but refused to accept it, saying: "I am a monk, I have no use for money, and I dare not take it out on the way. I just beg for food to survive, and taking dry food is enough."

The two elders begged again and again, and the monk pinched a small piece with his fingertips, which weighed about four or five coins, and handed it to Tang Sanzang, saying: "Master, it's just some money, don't let the two elders down."

Seeing that he couldn't refuse, Tang Sanzang had to let Sun Wukong take that little money, and he refused to accept the rest of the money.

So they said goodbye and went straight to the ice by the river.

Farewell to Chen Lao and leaving the riverAfter walking about three or four miles, Bajie handed the nine-ring staff to Tang Seng and said, "Master, you put it across your horse."

"There must be ice holes on any frozen surface. If you step on ice holes, you will fall down. If there is nothing to hold it across, you will fall into the water like a big pot cover."

"You must wrap the soles of your feet with grass, so that you can hold it up. Otherwise, it will be difficult to cross the ice road."

Sun Wukong laughed and said, "You fool, you have been walking on ice for many years!"

Several people followed his advice and wrapped their soles with grass. When they stepped on the ice, it was indeed not slippery.

The master and apprentices moved forward with confidence. They walked until dusk. They ate some dry food, but they did not dare to stop for long. They kept riding under the bright stars and moon.

The master and apprentices walked all night without closing their eyes. At dawn, they ate some dry food again and walked westward again.

While they were walking, they heard a loud clattering sound under the ice, which almost frightened the white horse.

Sanzang was shocked and said, "My disciple! Why is it so loud?"

Zhu Bajie said, "This river is really frozen solid, the ground is clattering, maybe the middle is blocked."

Sanzang heard this and rode forward

Sun Wukong took out the golden hoop from his ear, held it in his hand, and looked around vigilantly.

But the evil spirit has been hiding under the ice since returning to the water palace.

After waiting for a long time, they heard the sound of horse hooves.

"Tang Sanzang is here, God helps me!"

He used a magical power to break the ice. Sun Wukong was the most vigilant and jumped into the air in an instant. (To read exciting novels, go to Fulu Novels!)

Tang Sanzang didn’t have time to react, and the white horse fell into the water. Before he could call for help, he was dragged into the water.

Although Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng were not as vigilant as Sun Wukong, they were familiar with the water and the monster was mainly trying to catch Tang Sanzang, so they found an opportunity to escape.

The fish monster caught Sanzang and led the monsters back to the water palace, shouting loudly: "Where is Sister Mandarin?"

The old Mandarin woman greeted the door and saluted: "My king, I dare not!"

The fish monster said: "Why do you say that, my dear sister! Once you say it, it’s hard to take it back. I originally said that I would follow your plan, catch Tang Sanzang, and become your brother and sister."

The Mandarin woman was very happy to hear this, and took Tang Sanzang into the cave with the monsters.

As soon as the fish monster sat down, he shouted: "Men, bring the table over, sharpen the knife, cut open the monk's belly, take out his heart, peel off his skin and cut off his flesh, and play some musical instruments at the same time, and eat him with my sister to prolong her life."

The mandarin duck said: "My king, don't eat him yet, for fear that his disciples will come and make a fuss. It's better to wait for two days so that the disciples won't come looking for him, and enjoy him leisurely."

The fish monster followed the instructions and hid Tang Sanzang behind the palace, with a six-foot-long stone box covering the middle.

But Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng fished out their bags in the water, put them on the white horses, split the waterway, and carried the water out with the waves.

Sun Wukong saw it in mid-air and asked: "Where is the master?"

"He was taken away by the monster. This heavy snow is indeed caused by the monster!"

At this time, everyone understood that the heavy snow was caused by the fish monster.

Sun Wukong was not surprised by this and said to the two: "Let's go to Chenjiazhuang first, and then go to save Master."

After a while, he returned to the East Cliff, dried the horses, and brushed his clothes. Sun Wukong landed from the cloud and arrived at Chenjiazhuang together.

Someone had already reported to the two elders: "Four masters who went to seek scriptures, only three are left now."

The brothers hurriedly took him out of the door and saw that his clothes were still wet. They said: "Elders, why don't you see Elder Tang?"

Sun Wukong told everyone about the monster's behavior, and Elder Chen burst into tears.

Seeing him crying and shedding tears, Sun Wukong said:

"Old man, don't worry about the ancients. My master is alive and well. Come with us to starch our clothes, dry the pass, and feed the white horse with fodder. When my brothers find the place and rescue our master, we can simply cut the grass and eradicate the roots."[]

Hearing this, Old Chen was overjoyed and immediately ordered to arrange vegetarian food. .
