C115 (1/2)
Tengu couldn't find Wu Gang, so he spat out half of the moon. He wanted to wait for Wu Gang's return. He wanted to avenge his father.
Besides, there was Chang'e in the Moon Palace, so he couldn't give her any face. Thus, Tengu decided to end the battle quickly and only did this when Chang'e left the Moon Palace.
On this day, Wu Gang saw the immortals in the sky being invited to eat the Peach of Immortality, but he did not have a share. Thinking about his own life, it was really sad.
Although it was good for him to cultivate his body, it was also good for him to be lonely. When he was lonely, it was inevitable that he would drink a lot of wine, and after he was anesthetized, he would turn into a small leaf of laurel. He could be considered to be protecting himself by hanging on the osmanthus tree.
No one could find him. In a daze, he felt a giant mouth holding the moon. Unfortunately, he couldn't move, as he was too sleepy. Regardless of him, it was not a blessing or a curse, and there was no way to avoid it.
Tengu was furious that he didn't find Wu Gang. He wanted to return to the Moon Palace to see his brother, but he was too big for a small palace like this.
And compared to his brother's body, he was like a giant elephant and a small ant, which was not even worth mentioning. Thinking of this, he said to himself that if he could change, he would become smaller, smaller, and then he could be together with his two brothers.
But he had not yet learned the art of change. Seeing that the black crow could still change at least two or three things in a day, he didn't even have the ability to grow smaller. Feeling very unhappy, he cried and ran to see the sun god.
”Uncle, I'm so sad!” The Tengu whimpered and cried.
”What's the matter, child?” said the sun god kindly.
”I didn't eat that Wu Gang. I wanted to go see my two brothers, but I was too big and couldn't enter the Moon Palace. I won't change either. I feel like I failed very badly!” Tengu said with a sad face.
”Hahaha, so this is what it is! That's easy to do! I'll recommend a master to you, and you can learn the Transformation Technique from him. Whether or not you learn it depends on your luck!” said the sun god.
”Uncle, why don't you personally teach me a transformation technique? I'll just learn how to become smaller and smaller as I wish.” Tengu said.
”Hahaha, you are the descendant of my Sun God, so of course I have to protect you. However, your physique is different from mine. You won't be able to learn my transformation technique!” said the sun god.
”Oh, so it's like that!” Tengu was somewhat disappointed.
”Child, as long as you learn that master's transformation technique, your future achievements will be immeasurable!” the sun god said again.
”Really? Good, good!” Tengu was excited again.
”You should head south to find the Old Lady of Devil Mountain. She might have a way to help you!” said the sun god.
”Uncle, with your relationship with the Gods, why didn't you guide me to the Bodhisattva to learn some magic?” Tengu was still looking down on the Demon Mountain woman.
”Sigh, if you hadn't eaten that meat, you could've recommended it to Bodhisattva. However … now, Bodhisattva definitely thinks that you're a monster that wants to take you in. If that's the case, your hope of avenging your father will be dashed.” said the sun god.
”So that's how it is. I get it. I'm going to learn spells now!” As Tengu spoke, he flew towards the south.
As Tengu flew, he encountered the black crow again. When he saw that the crow had just snatched a piece of meat from its mouth, he started salivating and chased after the crow without saying a word. How could the crow bear to let the meat in its mouth be snatched away?
Then, in a flash of inspiration, he turned into a tree stump and stood there, turning the meat into a branch and hanging it on the tree stump.
This time, the Tengu lost its target, its heart was depressed. It sat by the tree stump and looked around, but couldn't find the crow. After waiting for a while, it wagged its tail and continued to fly south. Once Tengu left, he placed the meat on the ground and tore it apart. Unfortunately, the aroma of the meat was smelt by the gluttonous Tengu, and he turned back to snatch the meat, turning the meat into stone once again, and when the Tengu saw that the meat was gone again, he smiled at him and said: ”Stinky crow, you're so stingy. Today, I'm going to take you as my master too, but when I learn the changed mantras, you won't be able to do anything to me anymore!”
Crow thought, if he were to learn magic, wouldn't he be the one to snatch all my food in the future? Thinking of this, he decided to prevent Tengu from learning any spells.
Since Tengu couldn't find the crow, he walked forward. He wanted to learn magic, so the crow transformed into a maze in front of him, specifically waiting for Tengu to throw himself down.
Ever since Tengu entered the maze, he felt that his location was in chaos and he could no longer find a path to become his disciple. He walked around the maze many times and kept sighing. Why was it so difficult to learn this spell?
Why is there no end to the path of becoming a disciple? The crow was laughing from the outside. 'You stupid dog still wants to fight with me? You're still too inexperienced!'
The Tengu was very angry, in one breath, it opened its mouth wide to swallow the entire maze, but the maze was just a maze, it was actually unable to do so. The Tianwu dog was very angry, thinking, the moon is so big, I can swallow it, what exactly is this thing, it can actually block my way? Was it bigger than the moon? How preposterous!
Crow, enjoying his food outside, thought: ”Alas, since the arrival of this fellow, my food has been robbed by him. This heartless thing, I will not let it go when I go to study, I must find a way to subdue him. Otherwise, I won't be able to trap him anymore after he learns and returns. ”
”Stinky crow, come out. Hurry up and let me out. I'm going to study. If I leave in the future, wouldn't all the good things be yours?” Tengu's tone softened.
”Heh, hmph, I don't know what your plan is. Wait until you return from learning, the first person you want to bully isn't me? I won't let you learn any lousy arts! ” Crow sat at the top of the labyrinth and laughed.
