(The story of "Fetching Water from a Bamboo Basket" in this chapter is adapted from the TVB TV series)
"Shh!" The crow carried the fox and walked carefully in the house, taking precautions to prevent the swings from damaging the vegetation in the array.
"Dad, Dad, there are three pieces of clothing there. They look good. The styles in the world are very strange. Where did you get them?" The swing shouted, "Crow, where are these? Just set up a trap.
, why bother with special construction.”
"You fox knows nothing." Birdman said, "Tang Monk lived in famous mountains and temples for a long time. He was used to seeing the towers and palaces, so he would be easy to fall for. As for this place, it is not ordinary. It is one of the three heroes of the early Han Dynasty, Zhang Liangtudi.
A place of immortality.”
"Zhang Liang? I think I've heard of it somewhere." The little fox swept its tail around, "Oh! I remembered, it's the Great Immortal Master Zhang Liang, a senior official of the Sanqing Office in Heaven. Ouch, a big shot, tsk tsk tsk,
I heard that he was originally just the illegitimate son of a monk from Longhu Mountain outside the mountain, but in the end he became the most successful. Is this where he made his fortune?"
"That's him." Crow said, "These three pieces of clothing belong to Zhang Liang, Han Xin, and Xiao He. They are placed here and arranged with fortune telling. If any of the four people in Journey to the West wears two pieces from Han Xin and Xiao He, it is due to luck.
Then we can catch them. Otherwise, we can only let them go."
"Just catch him, it's so troublesome."
"You fox, your tribe is a famous intelligent tribe in the Three Realms, why are you so stupid? There are rules on the Tao, and the Three Realms have the laws of the Three Realms. The formation here is a bet on whether they will wear those two clothes. According to
In mortal words, that is 'God has destined you to be caught'."
"It's so troublesome."
*******************************
Bodhisattva's fish is not an ordinary fish. It can cause a lot of trouble if it just comes out and makes trouble. It's just pity for the boys and girls who were eaten by him. They lost their lives at such a young age. How sad. But the underworld has long been in trouble.
Zha's notice states that the killed ghost children will be given the opportunity to enter reincarnation early, so that they can be reborn into a good family in the next life. But what about the parents who lost their children? Who can relieve their sadness? Anyway, the upper-level immortals and Buddhas will not pay attention to these little people.
.
The Bodhisattva caught the golden carp in a basket, told him to explain a few words, and then returned to the South China Sea. After that, a big turtle came, carrying the master and the disciple across the Tongtian River and continued on their way.
"Master, have you heard about the bamboo basket for fetching water?" One day, thinking of the Bodhisattva's basket, Wukong, who had nothing to do, asked Tang Monk a question unintentionally.
"Fetching water from a bamboo basket? I know this sentence, but 'something'? What's the matter?" Tang Monk replied.
"Haha." Sun Wukong smiled and said to Tang Monk's horse, the white dragon horse, "You should recognize that basket, right? Although some places have been repaired by new branches, you should be able to see it."
"..." Xiao Bailong nodded silently.
Sun Wukong said to Tang Monk: "Master, you still lack some knowledge of scriptures."
"Yes, I know that as a teacher, so I went to the West to obtain scriptures." Tang Monk asked, "Wukong, what is the story behind drawing water with a bamboo basket?"
Sun Wukong smiled and said: "It is said that one year, the great master Guanyin sent by Sakyamuni came to earth to save all living beings. In order to influence the world and demonstrate the Dharma of our Buddha, the Bodhisattva once did three things that should not be done. He fished for the moon in the lake.
, a wonderful pen produces flowers, a bamboo basket draws water.”
"How is this possible, unless you use magic?"
"Because there is help." Sun Wukong said with a silly smile, "The moon is sparse, the lake is quiet, the white jade plate is on the mirror, and several monkeys are hanging down from the tree, just to catch the moon that fell into the water.
Hahaha," childhood memories made the Great Sage have a different expression on his face, "Bodhisattva is not that stupid, she succeeded in 'catching the moon'. A dragon forced out its own dragon ball, rushed out of the water, fell into the hands of Bodhisattva, and shined
It's so bright that it overshadows the moonlight, and it really looks like the moon. It's the so-called 'fishing for the moon in the lake'."
"The Good Fortune Dragon Girl?" Sha Wujing, who was following the team at the end, said in his mind, "It turns out that this is how the Good Fortune Dragon Girl became associated with Guanyin. Where did this monkey get the information?"
"Wonderful, wonderful, my Buddha's Dharma inspires dragon spirits, and I am Amitabha Buddha." Tang Monk's eyes flashed with golden light, as if he was imagining the scene of fishing for the moon. "My Amitabha Buddha, my Amitabha Buddha, my Amitabha Buddha..."
"Wonderful brushstrokes produce flowers," Sun Wukong continued. "It is said that when the Bodhisattva painted on the ground of stone slabs, he showed off the flowers. After a moment, a peony broke through the stone slabs and appeared on the hard ground. Mortals were amazed."
"Peony Fairy." Another mystery in Sha Wujing's mind was solved. "The Queen Mother loves flowers, but she rarely assigns Peony Fairy to work. I think it's because she has an affair with Guanyin."
"What about fetching water with a bamboo basket?" Tang Monk asked.
"Fetching water with a bamboo basket? Haha," Sun Wukong smiled, "I'll talk about it next time. Hahahaha..."
Tang Monk was a little dissatisfied when he heard what Wukong said, but there was nothing he could do about it. Since Baoxiang Kingdom was insulted, Sanzang clearly understood his own abilities. Sun Wukong was the leader in the journey to the west. Without him, nothing would be possible. However, sometimes Sun Wukong
Tang Seng really disliked it.
No matter what Tang Seng and Wukong were thinking, Xiao Bailong's thoughts had already gone to the distant past.

"Hahaha," a man stared at the girl lustfully, "Little girl, follow me, you will eat well, drink hot food, and enjoy endless glory and wealth, haha..."
"Donor, all the wealth and honor in the world are just dust. Only by taking refuge in my Buddha can you receive eternal blessings," the girl said.
"Eternal blessings? Humph! You want me to believe in Buddhism? Bah," the man said, "You believers in Buddhism can't do anything except chanting sutras. You can't do this and you can't do that. What a blessing!"
"My Buddha is merciful and has great Dharma to guide people in the sea of suffering. Buddha's Dharma is boundless and omnipotent. Donor, please turn back and find the shore." The girl said.
"It's omnipotent, nonsense." From the corner of his eye, the man saw a broken basket on the roadside and said, "How awesome? Just use this basket to carry me a basket of water! Otherwise, you will marry me!"
"Okay." To everyone's surprise, faced with such a rude request, the girl readily agreed and carried the basket to the river. There is a saying that if the water is clear, there will be no fish. This is the case in this river, but today, there is such a...
A white fish. The girl chanted: "There are three thousand seas of suffering. All living beings are in the sea of suffering and don't know it. My Buddha is merciful and helps me save mortals." She put the basket in the water and kept lifting it, and the water kept flowing out, making everyone laugh.
After several times, the white fish that had been wandering in the distance slowly floated near the girl, entered the frame, and then rubbed the basket hard, and soon pieces of fish scales fell off and blocked the gaps in the basket. Not long after, the girl mentioned it, and all the fish scales fell off.
A basket of water, red water.
"This..." Everyone was amazed, especially the man. "My Buddha's Dharma, my Buddha's Dharma..."
"Take refuge in me, the Buddha, and you will be protected." The girl turned around and transformed into the true form of Guanyin, standing in mid-air, solemnly and solemnly, "Little White Dragon, help me enlighten the world, and follow me from today on..."

"Oops!" The silly Bajie bumped into the stationary white dragon horse. "Why don't you move, your horse? It hurts the old pig's body from the collision. What are you thinking!"
"..." Bai Longma shook his head and continued to move forward as usual.
