Chapter 24 Journey to the West begins
Time flies, and five hundred years have passed. Sun Wukong has been suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain for a full five hundred years. A long time ago, Sun Wukong didn't have to take copper juice and iron pills. The medicine has been completely clean. He watches the sunrise and sunset every day, and it has a unique charm. Although he is not as free and comfortable as before, he is also very calm. However, this calmness is a torture for him, the irritable monkey. He cannot meditate and practice, so he can only stare at the sky in a daze. Because all his magic power is suppressed, now he has no ability except copper and iron bones. Once he met a kid who herds cattle and played for a while, he has been having fun for a few years, but it will be a lonely day in the future. I don't know when he will be a leader.
On this day, Sun Wukong was staring at an eagle in the sky in a daze. Suddenly, a woman in white clothes and placing on the lotus platform came. It was Guanyin Master. Sun Wukong finally saw an acquaintance and didn't mind his previous hostile identity. He smiled and said: Guanyin Bodhisattva, what are you doing here? Could it be to save Lao Sun! Guanyin scolded: You are a monkey who is ignorant, but you actually teased the heavenly court. How many sins have you committed? Five hundred years have passed, I wonder if your temperament is still So naughty! Sun Wukong laughed and said: What can I do if I am a monk? Bodhisattva, why do you have the time to see Lao Sun come? Guanyin knew that he could not miss a big deal, so he bowed in front of him with his right hand and said: I am here to show you a clear way to teach you to escape from the sea of suffering! Sun Wukong stayed for a long time before yelling: Bodhisattva said this seriously! I really let me go! Guanyin Bodhisattva didn't say much, but just smiled and looked at Sun Wukong with an excited face.[]
Sun Wukong took a few deep breaths and said, "Practitioner, please say bluntly. Lao Sun escaped from the Five Fingers Mountain and would definitely thank the Bodhisattva!" Guanyin laughed and said, "I don't need you to thank you either. Listen well, this matter is the matter of my Buddhism. The creatures in Dongsheng Shenzhou have no self-educated Buddhism. They kill and commit sins by nature. My Buddha is merciful and cannot bear to see people fall into the sea of suffering. They are about to find someone to bring Buddhism to the East Land. However, this move cannot be reckless. They can only be taken by people to go to the Lingshan Mountain in the West, but there is a guardian. I wonder if you are willing?" Sun Wukong said, "I am willing to do so." Kong heard that although it was a chore, it was better than being over here for the rest of his life. He immediately agreed. Guanyin knew that he wanted to escape, so he warned him that someone would come to accept him as his disciple at that time, and then asked him to escort the man to the Great Leiyin Temple in the West, so that he would not disobey the enemy, and so on. Sun Wukong agreed one by one. Guanyin knew that he would inevitably subdue the naughty monkey in the future, but he still left the Five Elements Mountain and headed towards the Tang Dynasty, the only country in Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The Tang Dynasty was built by the descendants of Chang'an City that day, named Li Shimin. However, during the east and west battles, there were too many murders. Countless souls went to seek his life in the middle of the night. Although Li Shimin was a little wise, he was so scared that he was out of possession. He invited some wandering cultivators to save the dead souls, but he was almost killed by the unjust soul. Since then, no one has come to the expedition. I think Chang'an is now an important place in the capital, where the dragon energy is located, how can the unjust souls enter? You can imagine the tricks in this.
Later, someone advised Li Shimin that Buddhism specifically transformed the souls of the dead and asked him to seek help from Buddhism. However, Li Shimin himself came from Taoism and had many Taoist monks during the war. If he hired Buddhism, wouldn’t he have ambition and destroyed his own might? He was hesitant for a moment. However, the nightmare that lasted for a month made him determined to hold a water and land conference to see which monk had a profound Buddhist teachings so that he could save the souls of the dead and eliminate evil spirits. Master Xuanzang stood out at this conference and was highly praised by Li Shimin.
Master Xuanzang recited sutras in the imperial city for a whole year, and he really solved the future troubles for Li Shimin. Li Shimin immediately wanted to give Xuanzang a glory and wealth, and promised him a high-ranking official and generous salary. However, Xuanzang said that he devoted himself to studying Buddhism and said goodbye and left. After that, many monks came to listen to Buddhism and benefited a lot. He then bid farewell and left after paying respectfully. Master Xuanzang was reincarnated as Jin Chanzi, a disciple of Shakyamuni, who came to Journey to the West. Moreover, he had already gone down to the realm five hundred years ago and was reincarnated ten times. He was a good person of ten generations, and his merits were quite good. He just waited for this Journey to the West to be perfect and he achieved the right result.
One day, when Master Xuanzang was at the altar, an old monk suddenly came up and said that although Xuanzang's Buddhism was profound, it was Hinayana Buddhism, which was not as exquisite as Mahayana Buddhism. Dongsheng Shenzhou was a Taoist place. It was because I felt that I owe Buddhism to Duobao a benefit. If Mahayana Buddhism dared to come in, I still stripped Cundi of Guizhi to guide him.
Xuanzang came forward to discuss the greatness of Mahayana Buddhism. The old monk came one by one, making Xuanzang suddenly enlightened. He felt that what he had learned in the past was compared with Mahayana Buddhism, which was like a frog in the well. He asked the old monk to go to the stage to explain Mahayana Buddhism. The old monk said that Taoism and Buddhism were profound, so how could it be passed on lightly? When someone went to seek it with all his heart, Xuanzang asked where to seek it. The old monk laughed and said: You should go to Lingshan in the West and meet the Buddha of Tathagata! And his body shook and turned into the body of Guanyin Bodhisattva. Xuanzang
The master immediately bowed and said he was disrespectful. Guanyin helped Xuanzang up and asked him if he wanted to study Mahayana Buddhism. Xuanzang nodded deeply and asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to take him to Lingshan to see the Buddha's master, seeking the true scriptures and teachings of the living beings in the East and Victory of the Divine Land. Guanyin Bodhisattva said that he could only show his sincerity in seeking the Dharma by walking step by step. Among them, there were countless demons and ghosts, and life and death were almost obstructed. He advised him to think twice. Xuanzang bowed sincerely and said that he would go to the West to seek the true scriptures in person. Guanyin left a Zen stick and said that he would leave.
Master Xuanzang was personally sent to the border by Li Shimin, and gave him wine to say goodbye, asking him to be careful all the way, wishing him to return from the true scriptures! Master Xuanzang rode a white horse and left the Tang Dynasty, and was determined to go to the Western Tianling Mountain.
No matter how sincere Xuanzang was, he was a mortal fetus. As soon as he left the country, he encountered a green-breasted tiger, which almost became food in his stomach. He was rescued by a hunter and stayed for one night before continuing on the road the next day.
Not long after, Xuanzang met his first disciple, Sun Wukong. When he saw Sun Wukong who was suppressed at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Xuanzang was shocked and wanted to escape. However, Sun Wukong told him that it was the Bodhisattva's instigation and wanted to worship him as his teacher and escort him to the West to seek sutras. Xuanzang knew that it was the Bodhisattva's order, so he went up the mountain and uncovered the talisman. Sun Wukong came out of the Five Elements Mountain, but his clothes were already torn, like a beggar. Xuanzang gave him his spare monk robe. Sun Wukong, who had a thunderous face and thunder mouth, was particularly awkward in his monk robe, so he wanted to go to the Dragon King's place to ask for a set of outfits first. However, Xuanzang warned his Buddhist disciples eight precepts, and Sun Wukong extinguished his thoughts and dragged his white horse on the road.
When Sun Wukong protected Master Xuanzang and passed by a Yingchou Story, a white dragon rushed out and swallowed the white horse. Sun Wukong was furious and wanted to go down to remove the monster, but Tang Xuanzang was afraid that he would feed the monster instead and told him not to go. Sun Wukong could not swallow this breath and killed him in the middle of the night and injured the little white dragon. However, the little white dragon jumped into the ravine and escaped his life. When he went back to find Tang Monk, he saw several robbers. Sun Wukong was in a bad mood and beat all the people to death. Tang Monk blamed him for killing innocent people. In anger, Sun Wukong ran away with the escape light.
On the way, Sun Wukong turned back, thinking that he could not be a trustless person. Since he promised to protect him to Lingshan, he could not give up halfway. When he found him, he received the golden hoop gift from Guanyin Bodhisattva in his bag. Sun Wukong felt it was strange and put it on his head. Since then, the golden hoop has been determined to follow him. Tang Seng recited the tight hoop curse and hurt him to death. Although he begged for mercy, there was already a gap between the master and disciple. He was originally sincere and escorted Tang Seng to ask for scriptures, but now he has been forced. If the Saint Cunti knew about it, he would probably have to sigh.
Next, Hui'an travelers came and said that they had no transportation and did not know how long it would take to get to Lingshan and obtain the true scriptures. They conquered the little white dragon with Sun Wukong and turned into a mount dragon horse.
Gao Laozhuang cleaned up Zhu Bajie, who was reincarnated by Marshal Tianpeng, and gave him the Dharma name Wuneng. Marshal Tianpeng was not guilty of teasing Chang'e. He heard that Chang'e was beautiful, so he secretly went to Taiyin Star. Unexpectedly, his head hurts and fainted as soon as he woke up. When the Jade Emperor woke up, he said that he went to Guanghan Palace without authorization and was killed. However, Guanyin Bodhisattva said that he had a fate with Buddhism and saved his life. After his reincarnation, he asked him to escort Tang Seng. Now, Xiaobailong is already four people. Tang Seng was caught by Huang Feng Monster as soon as he set off the road. Sun Wukong was so angry that he screamed and went to kill Huang Feng Monster, but his eyes were damaged by a harsh wind. Later, he received the help of Lingji Bodhisattva to subdue Huang Feng Monster. The master and disciple continued to go on the road. This was a public help from Buddhism, which could be regarded as a revenge for the obstruction of Taoist sects.
Liusha River collected monk Sha and gave him the name Wujing. The four masters and disciples completely began their journey to obtain scriptures.
Speaking of this, I have to say that Buddhism also has nothing to do, but it actually transforms into a house, testing the sincerity of Tang Monk and disciples. As a result, Zhu Bajie was played with, hung on a tree, begging for mercy, and was allowed to get the Bodhisattva's permission, and even warned him to be sincere in order to obtain the true scriptures.
In the Wuzhuang Temple, Zhen Yuanzi sat in the first place, Kunpeng sat on one side, and recalled in his eyes, "Last time I came, fellow Taoist Hongyun tasted ginseng fruit with you and me? It turned out that it has been so long!" A sharp light flashed in Zhen Yuanzi's eyes and asked: Why did the Taoist come to Wuzhuang Temple? I don't even look down on ginseng fruit. Could it be that I came to see me to reminisce about the past? Kunpeng glanced at Zhen Yuanzi and shook his head and said: I am free, so I went to the Taoist Taoist to take a look.
It's pitiful to those ginseng fruits. Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed with haze. Buddhist calculations knew that he would cooperate with them to perform a play. With Sun Wukong's little trick of the slightest Taoist practice, he could really hide from Qingfeng and Mingyue. Although the two of them were not qualified, they could not deal with Sun Wukong? Can the three lights of water save the ginseng fruit trees? He also had to become brothers with a saint disciple. Even Zhen Yuanzi himself felt a little embarrassed to think of this, but what could he do?
Kunpeng stood up and bowed: Fellow Daoist Zhen Yuanzi has important things, so I won’t disturb you! After saying that, he turned around and left, left Wanshou Mountain, and took one step forward and disappeared. Zhen Yuanzi sighed, ordered Qingfeng and Mingyue, and went to Yuxu Palace to listen to Yuanshi Tianzun’s preaching.
Kunpeng, who was walking, flashed his eyes and said in a sneer: Zhen Yuanzi, you are still like that! When it comes to achievements, even if you have two treasures of the Ginseng Fruit Tree, it is not as good as the Styx! Well, it seems that you are useless. I hope Styx can attract some attention! After saying that, he turned his head and looked at the direction of Wanshou Mountain, and said in his heart: Zhen Yuanzi, do you think the saint's plot is just for a moment? Even if you give in this time, the saint's plot will still follow one after another, and it is hard to guard against! Can you avoid it? Thinking of this, Kunpeng looked in the direction of Rushan, and a gloomy look in his eyes.
The four masters and disciples of Sun Wukong were resting in Wuzhuang Temple. Qingfeng Mingyue asked Tang Monk to eat ginseng fruit as Zhen Yuanzi ordered. He "stole" and was seen by Zhu Bajie. Later, Jin Jizi was stolen by Sun Wukong and four ginseng fruits were captured by Sun Wukong again. Qingfeng Mingyue was fascinated by Sun Wukong. The four masters and disciples escaped and were caught by Zhen Yuanzi halfway. In the end, the five masters and disciples were unable to pass through. Zhen Yuanzi sealed Wanshou Mountain and practiced in seclusion in the temple.
On Rushan, Kong Xuan sat upright on the jade platform, calculated and said to himself: Journey to the West has begun, I hope I will not miss the teacher’s arrangements, but the teacher has no instructions on the matter of the junior sister. What should I do? If the junior sister is let go out, I don’t know if the person inside has not killed the junior sister, what is the teacher’s plan?
After Tang Monk and his disciples set out, a rumor circulated in the earthly world, "As long as you eat a piece of Tang Monk's meat, you can live forever." I think that immortality is the cultivation of the Daluo Jinxian. Tang Monk ** mortal fetus can have this medicine effect? But it also caused many little demons to be greedy and fulfilled the difficulties in vain.
