"You idiot, eat, eat, eat, you know how to eat..."
The Great Sage stopped Bajie behind him and explained to him in a low voice the peculiarities of the plant elves. Then Bajie suddenly understood and apologized profusely to the four old elves.
Not only that, he also took the initiative to cook a table of delicious food, so that they, the hermits who do not eat grains, can also enjoy what is delicious in the world.
Firstly, everyone could not resist, and secondly, it was mainly because Bajie was too hungry, so he decided like this.
Not to mention, the four old men were really moved when they saw Bajie taking care of things outside the house. The Eighteenth Gong even said: "When the Seven Sages arrived at this time, they spread the joy of drinking to us...
Just by looking at this elder’s methods, I’m afraid I won’t be able to avoid this craving.”
After all, being able to eat and not being able to eat are two completely different concepts.
Even people like Fa Hai, the Great Sage, and others have long since passed the realm of eating human food. But every time Bajie makes a bowl of hot porridge, and everyone just drinks it, they feel comfortable and protected, and can stay warm for more than half a day.
Bajie was outside cooking pots, and Guzhi Gong also called a naked ghost with a long green face, fangs, and a red beard to help him.
As soon as everyone saw his appearance, they knew that he was the reckless monster that Xiao Bailong had mentioned before. Judging from his years of cultivation, he was indeed much younger than these four old book masters.
Bajie saw that his hands and feet were rough and knew that he could not do fine work, so he asked him to pick up some dry wood to make a fire.
But he couldn't say anything before he spoke, which made the naked ghost become barbaric. He rushed towards Bajie and roared: "This pig demon is not a good person, he actually wants to set me on fire..."
The two of them had a scuffle in an instant. Although it was the base camp of the Naked Ghost, Bajie's current abilities were extraordinary. In addition, he was specialized in the Thirty-six Heavenly Gang Transformations. Even though he was just an ordinary maple tree spirit, he was no match for him.
After a little effort, he subdued it. Bajie pressed it under the stove and said to the master: "Master, this monster is not very strange. I will add more materials to cook with him."
Everyone:...
"I can't do it, I can't do it -!" Shiba Gong repeatedly begged for mercy, saying: "He is reckless by nature and has misunderstood the elder. I hope the elder will forgive me."
"Bajie."
Fahai gave Bajie a look, and Bajie was reluctant to let go.
"You are a waste." Guzhi Gong also scolded the naked ghost, "I asked you to pick up some fallen dry wood, I don't want to burn you..."
"cocoa..."
"But what's the matter..." Fu Yunsou seemed to be scolding him, but in fact he was trying to make up for him, "How is this different from the tea leaves we make tea or the wild fruits you usually eat..."
"Oh." After saying this, the naked ghost understood and turned around to pick up dry wood.
Fa Hai looked at it for a while and then said: "He is not fully intelligent. If he is only in the mountains and has everyone watching over him, he will be fine. If he goes out of the mountains, or if there are pedestrians entering the mountains... wouldn't it be a disaster?"
"When the Seven Sages came, he had not yet transformed." Ling Yunzi said quickly: "Since he transformed, we have not asked him to leave the mountains, and because the mountains are densely covered with thorns, few people have come...
Even if someone enters by mistake, we will send them out of the mountain."
"Amitabha."
Fahai recited the Buddha's name. He glanced at the four old tree spirits and saw that they seemed to want to say something, but in the end they could not say anything... Fahai did not take the initiative to ask if they were really in trouble.
Wherever you are, you will naturally ask for help.
Otherwise, even if it is still within their capabilities, there is no need to worry about it.
But the Naked Ghost's temperament is a troublesome thing after all. Now that Fahai has encountered it, he naturally won't sit idly by and ignore it.
With his usual temperament, when he saw such a spirit, in order to prevent him from hurting others in the future, he would usually save the person and eliminate the trouble in advance.
】
But today's Fahai is naturally different. He will persuade the other person to do good before he actually does evil.
Bajie and the naked ghost were left to take care of things outside. The four spirits and ghosts led "Master Sanzang" and others into Muxian Temple. After taking their seats, Shiba Gong made tea himself.
This was also obtained from the teachings of the Seven Sages at that time, and has its own flavor.
After drinking for a while, it was Fahai who spoke first: "Several Taoist priests all live a long life, and they attained Taoism at a high age. Their richness and beauty... may be comparable to the Four Hao in the Han Dynasty."
After just a few brief discussions, Fa Hai also noticed that their behavior was extraordinary and not comparable to ordinary spirits, so he praised them twice.
How dare the four of them agree?
"I have received the award! I have received the award! How can we dare to compete with the four masters? It is really the four exercises in the mountains."
At this moment, the Eighteenth Duke asked out of curiosity: "May I ask the holy monk how much he has practiced?"
They are really curious.
Fa Hai calculated in his mind for a while that if the two lifetimes were added together, there would be forty years of Taoism... Comparing the thousands of years of practice of these four old men, it can be seen that he is indeed unique.
"The young monk has been practicing meditation and worshiping Buddha for more than 40 years."
The four spirits were envious for a while after hearing this, and Duke Guzhi couldn't help but admire: "The holy monk has followed Buddhism since he was born. He has really been practicing since he was a child. He is a truly enlightened monk."
Ling Yunzi on the side said again: "We are lucky enough to take over Taiyan, and dare to seek great teachings. I hope that I can teach you something about Zen, which will be enough to comfort my life."
Fu Yunsou seemed to feel that Ling Yunzi was agitated and spoke too bluntly, so he quickly said: "We have a Taoist heart, and we are definitely not greedy for the great teachings of Buddhism."
Fa Hai smiled and said: "It is a good use to spread the Dharma to the three realms. Moreover, the young monk is traveling to the Western Heaven just to take the Mahayana teachings of Buddhism and spread them to the world... However, the Buddhist teachings are still shallow and I dare not spread the truth. If you don't give up,
...Maybe we can talk about it and confirm it each. How about that?"
"Great kindness!"
The Eighteenth Duke was overjoyed when he heard this: "I have heard for a long time that Master Tripitaka does not care about his family, does not hesitate to teach, and does not discriminate against us monsters... I had many doubts before, but now that I see it, I am sincerely convinced. The saintly monk is a man of character, and I
Waiting for my deep admiration...I would like to thank the holy monk for his generous teachings."
"Zen means tranquility, and Dharma means enlightenment. The attainment in tranquility cannot be achieved without enlightenment. The enlightened person washes away his mind and worries, and is free from the worldly world... I originally practiced the Great Enlightenment Zen, and only when I have the destiny and ambition can I remember enlightenment.
"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Fahai did not explain it too deeply to them. After all, they had only practiced basic Taoism before. If they were exposed to too advanced Buddhism all at once, it would be very difficult for them.
To say it is harmful rather than helpful.
Fahai knows how to measure things.
In fact, this is also the difference between wild cultivation and inheritance. It seems that the inheritance in Jinguang Temple where Master Tripitaka is located, not to mention the sea of fa, is profound enough.
"The Holy Monk is the foundation of Zen enlightenment!" Everyone was full of praise after hearing this, and they felt enlightened in their hearts.
The two sides discussed the matter back and forth for several more times, with Fahai basically speaking and they listening.
It's just that there are differences in Buddhism and Taoism after all. Even if Fa Hai tries his best to pick out the similarities between the two sides, there are limitations after all.
"Zen methods such as those of the young monk can be used for reference, but they are difficult to study deeply." Fahai pointed at Wukong next to him and said with a smile: "My disciple is from a serious Taoist background and has obtained the Wuzhuang Avalokitesvara.
The true teachings of Immortal Zhenyuan...but he should be allowed to discuss the truth with you."
"We also know the great sage's reputation, so naturally we are all ears."
The Great Sage thought for a while and said: "Tao as the basis, all things are unified into one; body and Tao are in harmony with truth, and there is no intention to change... Value the emptiness, be kind and quiet, and don't worry about Taichong... Living at the extreme of Taichong,
The awe-inspiring and profound in the heart are so mysterious that no trace of them can be seen..."
The Great Sage simply spoke of some insights, but the four Taoists who had practiced Taoism for thousands of years all looked blank... It was not because of anything else, but because they could all understand these words when they were taken out individually and formed into words.
They also had some understanding...but one sentence from the mouth of the great sage left them confused.
When the Great Sage saw the sad faces of all of them, the Great Sage was also stunned and said to himself: I know that reciting Buddhist scriptures gives people a headache. When did the discussion of Taoism become like this?
Seeing that his expression was slightly confused, Fahai probably knew what he was thinking, so he secretly sent a message: "The way you are teaching is a bit obscure for them."
After hearing what Master said, the Great Sage felt helpless: Is such a simple thing... so difficult to understand?
It was also the words of the Great Sage that made them rack their brains one by one, but they still could not understand the true meaning.
If it is the Buddhist scriptures taught by Master Tripitaka before, they will just pass it by without understanding it, and there will be no benefit in deeply correcting it.
But these few words of the Great Sage made them sound very mysterious. They knew that it was chance, and they were willing to fall deeply into it...
The Great Sage was still a little embarrassed and Chuanyin asked the Master for instructions: "Master, would you like me to have a few more words with them?"
"Let's stop here, the Tao has no end... The more you talk, the harder it will be for them to understand the true meaning." Fa Hai sighed softly, and also transmitted the message face to face: "It seems that you just said a few words of truth,
It will be enough for them to last a lifetime.”
Seeing the four old men in a state of trance.
Fahai stood up and looked at the things in Muxian Temple. He saw an exquisite brilliance, like under the moon, and stopped to admire it.
The Great Sage also took a look at it, then stopped paying attention, took a piece of Poria paste and ate it, then two pieces... After a while, he finished eating.
At this time, a noise was heard outside the house.
Fahai stepped outside to take a look. Several old people were also awakened and hurriedly followed him out.
But just when they saw a "fairy" leading two girls, they were stopped outside the house by Bajie and Naked Ghost.
"Why are you blocking my way?"
The fairy wore light apricot clothes and a five-color plum red skirt. She had a pretty face but a little resentment. She stared at Zhu Bajie and the naked ghost who were blocking her... Especially at the naked ghost, Zhu Bajie was blocking her.
I'll forget it, why did you follow him and stop me too?
As soon as the fairy glared at him, the naked ghost lowered his head and kept wiping his mouth with his hand...
Everyone looked at the stove, and sure enough they saw that the two of them had finished a pot of rice...
When Bajie saw that he had been caught, he did not hide. He patted his belly and confessed to the master: "Master, I have eaten enough. You can concentrate on making fast for the master."
The red-haired ghost thought for a while and then said: "I'm full too, burp——"
Then he quickly lowered his head.
Ha ha ha ha--
Everyone laughed loudly when they saw it.
Even the "fairies" couldn't help but hide their faces and go away.
"This is the Apricot Immortal."
Bajie took a few more glances at the almond-shaped eyes and saw that she had a green face with emerald makeup, a red face covered with rouge, bow shoes with a curved phoenix mouth, and silk stockings with embroidered clay... She was as beautiful and talented as the Fairy of Yaochi...
Bajie saw her starry eyes since the master came out, and he wished he could hang on to the master. He said in his heart: Alas, although my master is not a stone-hearted person, he... alas...
Bajie sighed repeatedly, so what if he is the leader of the Western Liang Kingdom?
Full of infatuation, I can only say, "It is often difficult to fulfill one's wishes in the world, and the bright moon will be full a few times..." If you, who are greedy for my master's body, are sincere, otherwise, this will be the fate of that scorpion spirit.
example.
The Eighteenth Gong hurriedly introduced Master Sanzang and said: "I haven't made it clear before, but this is a fellow Taoist who lives in Jingjiling Ridge, and is called Xingxian... The two girls are Dangui and Wintersweet who serve her."
These are the other few spirits found in the ancient temple.
It was also the essence of aura, and no evil spirits were seen, otherwise Fahai would have gone directly to collect the evil spirits at that time.
Duke Guzhi asked: "Where did the Xingxian come from?"
Xingxian said to everyone, "I know that there is a distinguished guest here to help me, so I came here to visit you. I dare to see you."
Then she looked at Master Tripitaka lovingly. She had heard of Master Tripitaka for a long time and got a picture by chance. She had long been secretly attracted to him and had been admiring him for a long time.
Everyone knew her purpose.
The four old elves knew about it before, because they were a group of monsters. The reason why the Apricot Immortal did not appear at the beginning was that the four old elves were not sure about Master Sanzang's personality, and were afraid that they would be wiped out all at once...
Now that Master Tripitaka has been found to be of noble character, naturally there is no need to worry about this, so it is Xingxian's turn to appear.
As for the master and disciples being able to see her purpose...she had almost nothing to hide, and all her thoughts were on her face...
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Several disciples did not worry about their master and disciples when they met, just like Bajie, they just felt sorry for the Xingxian Dao.
"Amitabha."
Sure enough, before the Apricot Immortal could speak, the master recited a Buddhist chant, and the golden golden wheel flashed away, only to see the Master's eyes shining brightly, looking directly at the Apricot Immortal.
Xingxian could still look at each other at first, but after just a moment of breathing, she suddenly felt that her breathing was not smooth, and her soul was shaken. In the midst of shock, she suddenly felt that all the strange phenomena had disappeared.
"Donor, ascetics are most afraid of having sexual thoughts, otherwise thousands of years of practice will be ruined in one day."
When Xingxian was about to tell the difference, he heard Master Sanzang say: "The poor monk has been slaying demons all the way, and countless demons have died in my hands. I only accepted the request because you have always been good. Don't make any mistakes."
."
Xingxian's face suddenly turned pale, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
Seeing this scene, the four old men wanted to persuade them, but they didn't know who to persuade...
It seems that Xingxian should be advised to give up his evil thoughts, but how can they say this as friends?
But if they don’t persuade Xingxian, they can’t persuade Master Tripitaka to consummate the marriage, right?
After a moment of stalemate, Xingxian gritted his teeth and said, "Isn't the holy monk too overbearing?"
"How do you say that?"
Xingxian was also angry. She opened her almond-shaped eyes and stared straight at Master Sanzang and said: "The holy monk is a Buddhist monk and has his own precepts to uphold his body. The holy monk only cares about his own mind and his nature. A little girl can't do anything."
How can the wild spirits of the mountains care whether I have lust or not?"
Be bold!
The four old men almost lost their souls. They never expected that Xingxian would dare to say such words in front of Master Tripitaka.
If you anger him, aren't you afraid that he will actually do something to subdue the demon?
After all, it is natural for a mage to subdue demons.
What happened here will be spread in the future, and I am afraid that only "the demons of Thorn Ridge planned a banquet, Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice defeated the demons and subdued them"...
Unexpectedly, "Master Tripitaka" laughed out loud and said, "What the donor said makes sense. This is the fault of the poor monk."
