Chapter 260 World of Famous Works 49
After spinning around, Sun Wukong came to a steady stop in front of Tang Sanzang and his companions.
He opened the car door, jumped out, patted the SUV, and said, "Master, how about it? This is fast enough, isn't it? Riding this to the Western Paradise will save a lot of time."
Tang Sanzang swallowed hard and said, "Wukong, although this thing is fast, it looks really dangerous. Your master... your master would rather not ride it."
Sun Wukong paused for a moment, then decided not to sit down?
At this moment, Pigsy squeezed through, his round eyes shining, and shouted, "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, my good Brother Monkey, where did you find this treasure? Riding this thing on the journey to the West is much more comfortable than walking for me, Old Pig."
Sha Wujing also came over to touch the carriage and said with a simple smile, "Yes, now there's a place to put my luggage, and I can save some effort."
When Tang Sanzang heard his disciples clamoring to ride in this lousy car, while he alone was different because he was too timid to ride, he felt a little embarrassed.
"Wukong, did you perhaps cast some kind of magic on this vehicle? This journey to the Western Paradise to obtain the scriptures is for spiritual cultivation. If we were to rely on magic to do so, how could we demonstrate our sincerity in seeking the scriptures? Anyway, I definitely won't ride in this kind of vehicle."
After saying that, he strode to the horse, mounted it, and rode it.
"Hey, Master, this isn't using magic..." Sun Wukong tried to stop him and explain, but Tang Sanzang had already spurred the horse and gone far away.
Seeing Tang Sanzang like this, Bajie rolled his eyes at him again and quickly pulled Sun Wukong aside, saying, "Brother Monkey, Brother Monkey, that's just how monks are. They make the best of a bad situation. If he wants to ride a horse, let him ride it. It won't tire him out anyway. Brother Monkey, you shouldn't interfere. It's us brothers who are really tired from walking every day. Tell me about this vehicle and let me try it out."
Sun Wukong could only wave his hand to let Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing get on the carriage first.
Tang Sanzang rode his horse in front, while Sun Wukong followed leisurely in his chariot.
Tang Sanzang glanced back out of the corner of his eye, feeling a little smug. So what if that car was fast? It would still have to follow behind him.
Besides, that iron box is airtight and must be very stuffy. It's much better for him to ride a horse, so he can enjoy the beautiful scenery around him as he goes.
The SUV that Lin Xiaoqian gave Sun Wukong was the top-of-the-line model. It was spacious and comfortable inside. Even with his fat body, Zhu Bajie could still cross his legs while sitting in the passenger seat, and the leather seats made a soft "creaking" sound under his weight.
He touched this and that, showing great interest in it.
He accidentally turned on the car's air conditioning. Feeling the cool breeze blowing in his face, Pigsy was both surprised and delighted. "Oh, it can even blow air! It's so refreshing!"
As the sun rose higher and higher, the weather got hotter and hotter as they drove. With the air conditioning on in the car, Pigsy was quite pleased with himself. He even accidentally found the music button, and some corny, upbeat tunes immediately started playing in the car.
Bajie shook his head and swayed to the rhythm, humming and groaning. After fiddling with the front, he turned to look at the back seat.
Compared to him, Sha Wujing was much more obedient, sitting by the car window, enjoying the scenery outside.
"Hey, Brother Sha, what's in that box over there? Quickly open it and see if Brother Monkey has hidden some treasure inside."
Sun Wukong glanced in the rearview mirror. Lin Xiaoqian had introduced all the equipment in the car to him, so he naturally knew what it was. He smiled and said, "That's a small refrigerator, like an ice cellar. I don't know what's inside. You guys can open it and take a look."
Seeing that Sun Wukong agreed, Sha Wujing tried to open the box. Inside, there were several colorful bottles.
Sha Wujing took them all out and, feeling the coolness in his hands, exclaimed in surprise, "So cool! Senior Brother, these bottles seem to contain water."
Sun Wukong glanced at them and saw that some of the bottles were unfamiliar to him, but they contained the peach juice that Lin Xiaoqian had given him, so he knew that these were all drinkable.
"It's a drink. You can try some."
Upon hearing this, Pigsy's eyes lit up. He turned around and took a bottle from Sandy's hand, but he didn't know how to open it. He tried to bite it with his teeth, but Monkey King quickly stopped him, saying, "Just unscrew the cap on top."
Pigsy quickly twisted the cap off the bottle in his hand, and with a "pop," a stream of bubbly liquid gushed out, splashing all over his face.
Pigsy was startled by the sudden situation. He frantically wiped his face, shouting, "Oh dear, what is this rubbish? Why is it spraying out?"
Sun Wukong couldn't help but burst into laughter when he saw his appearance.
Pigsy smelled the water and thought it had a sweet aroma, so he couldn't help but stick out his tongue and lick the water from his lips.
"It's quite sweet."
He slowly unscrewed the bottle cap, and saw wisps of white steam rising from the bottle opening, followed by an even richer, sweeter aroma.
Bajie tentatively took a sip, his eyes widening instantly, and he made a "mmm" sound with water in his mouth.
After swallowing, he excitedly stuck out his tongue and shouted, "Wow, this water is fighting in my mouth and numbing my tongue. But the cool and numbing feeling is quite enjoyable. Brother Sha, you should try it too!"
Outside the vehicle, Tang Sanzang struggled to ride his horse. As they traveled further west, they encountered endless deserts. The sun was scorching hot, and the wind and sand stung their faces. Sweat soaked through his monk's robes, streaming down his cheeks and wetting the prayer beads on his chest. He raised his hand to wipe the sweat from his forehead and glanced at the off-road vehicle following slowly behind him.
He himself was almost dying of heat, so why were his apprentices still in that iron box? Weren't they hot?
He licked his dry, chapped lips and tightened the reins.
No, he's too thirsty. I need to send his apprentice to get him some water.
When Sun Wukong saw Tang Sanzang stop, he quickly stepped on the brakes, got out of the car, and walked up to Tang Sanzang.
"Master, it's too hot outside, please get in the car."
Tang Sanzang found it laughable. How could it be hotter outside than in their airtight iron box? He wasn't going to go.
He refused, saying, "No need. I said I won't sit, and I won't. I'm thirsty, go and get me some water."
Before getting into the car, Sun Wukong asked Sha Wujing to put the luggage in the trunk, and found two cases of mineral water inside, so Sun Wukong didn't have to go elsewhere to find water.
He went back to his car, grabbed a bottle of mineral water, unscrewed the cap, and handed it to Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang wiped his sweat and was startled when he saw the water that suddenly appeared in front of him.
"Master, drink up."
Tang Sanzang was extremely thirsty and didn't bother to ponder the strange bottle. He took the bottle and started gulping down the water.
This water is so refreshing, and it even has a hint of sweetness.
As Tang Sanzang drank the cool mineral water, he belatedly realized that the water seemed to have been taken out of that iron box by Wukong, so why wasn't it hot at all?
He turned his head to look at the SUV, and saw that in the passenger seat, Pigsy was lazily yawning, squinting his eyes, his pig head swaying from time to time, and then he lowered his head to take a sip of dark water, looking extremely content.
