(Most of this chapter is adapted from the original text of Journey to the West, with only a few modifications to fit the plot of this book)
Without the Great Sage, eating and drinking are a problem. Sha Seng and Bajie went out to seek alms, leaving Tang Monk alone to wait. The fake Wukong took the opportunity to arrive. The two quarreled. The fake Wukong killed Tang Monk with a stick, grabbed the package and returned to the water curtain.
Cave. When Sha Monk Bajie returned, he was shocked to see that Xuanzang was dead. Sha Monk thought to himself: "What should I do? Without him, my mission to the west will not be completed, and my karma cannot be resolved.
What should be done, what should be done..." Dear readers, please be careful. In fact, all the way to here, Sha Seng thought that he was only completing the training tasks assigned by the Jade Emperor, but he already had true feelings for Tang Seng in his heart. People say that they are on the same level.
After taking revenge, sharing the abyss of hardship and making friends, sleeping in the open air for so many years, experiencing daily necessities, big disasters and small tribulations, the bond between a group of people is stronger than those who sit together like a piece of wood.
The Taoist friends who have practiced for thousands of years are profound. However, Sha Monk is very resistant to this kind of "friendship". He has been taught "loyalty" and "power" since he was a child. The word friendship is too far away and too dazzling for him.
It made him dare not look directly. Sand Seng has never had such a thing as friendship before. "Love breeds hatred". He hates and resents "friendship" extremely, so now even if he dies for Tang Seng
He was anxious, reluctant to leave for his senior brother and unwilling to admit that it was because of "friendship". In Bajie's case, unlike Sha Seng, the evil spirit spread to his soul and his mind became more and more dizzy. In Tang Seng's case, he had both a master to control him and a senior brother to scold him, and the anger in his chest was suffocated.
He had long wanted to leave this place and show off his power, but when he saw that Tang Monk was dead, he opened his mouth and wanted to divide his luggage and leave. The second brother and the third brother were so noisy.
"It's a hozen, so kill me!" Sha Seng and Bajie argued, but Tang Seng took a breath and survived.
Sha Seng and Bajie hurried over to check. Tang Seng calmed down a little and talked about what happened. As he talked, tears burst into tears, and he was angry and hateful. What he was angry about was that he should not have scolded Wukong who had protected him all the way. What he hated was that
Wukong actually ignored his master and apprentice
Qingfen wants to kill him. Looking back on the past few years, from Wuxing Mountain to here, although the two have had many conflicts, their relationship is strong and special. It is definitely not comparable to that of Bajie Sha Seng. But that stick just now, Tang Seng's
My heart is cold, cold, frozen, and broken.
When Bajie heard about it, he gritted his teeth on the surface, but he was very excited in his heart and said: "Okay, okay! This time I can finally use this name to have a good fight with you Bi Mawen. You can't use the name of senior brother to suppress me anymore!" Wu Neng was full of words.
Go teach Wukong a lesson.
Sha Monk looked up and found that Bajie's eyes were red. He knew that he had a murderous intention in his heart and could not let him see Wukong. He said: "Don't be angry. Let's help Master go to the mountain recess to make some hot tea soup. We will make it first."
When the rice is hot, prepare the master and then go find him."
He took Tang Monk to a farmer's house to rest for a while, and the three of them discussed going to Huaguo Mountain to get the package back. Xuanzang said, "Wu Jing can go. Bajie can't go. That Hozen Yuan is not on good terms with you, and you are rude."
, or between one or two sentences, there is
If you make any mistakes, he will beat you." Sha Seng agreed: "I'll go, I'll go." The elder then ordered Sha Seng: "Where you get there, you have to watch the situation. If he is willing to bear the burden with you, you can pretend
Thank you for bringing it; if you don’t want to, don’t argue with him
I went straight to Nanhai Bodhisattva and told him about the situation, asking him to ask for it." Sha Monk obeyed one by one and said to Bajie: "I am going to find him now. You must not waste your life so that you can support Master.
Don't act recklessly, lest he refuses to do so
I'll go back when I'm offering food." Bajie nodded and said, "I understand. But if you go, you won't get what you ask for. Come back early the next time, and don't end up with a pointed pole carrying firewood with both ends taken off." Sha Monk then made a gesture and drove.
After rising from the clouds, we headed straight for Dongsheng Shenzhou.
The Sha Monk was in mid-air, traveling for three days and nights before reaching the Eastern Sea. He suddenly heard the sound of waves and looked down. He saw that the sky was filled with black mist and gloomy air, and the sky was covered with cold light at dawn. "Strange, it seems that there was something here before.
Large-scale ghosts exist." Unintentionally investigating what happened, he flew to Huaguo Mountain and saw the fake Wukong. After several disagreements, the two started fighting. Of course, Sha Monk was no match and fled to the South China Sea.
Thinking that he would meet Wukong "again" here, he became very angry and started to fight. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva explained and solved the misunderstanding. The Great Sage was shocked when he heard that someone was pretending to be himself and killed Tang Monk. He took Sha Monk and flew to Huaguo.
In the mountains, I saw monkeys all over the mountains and plains called the fake Wukong Monkey King. I was so angry that I fought with them without even saying a few words. If the two were in the same place, they would not distinguish between true and false, and it would be easy to fight——
Two sticks and two monkey spirits, this rivalry is really not light. They both protect Tang Yu's younger brother, and each performs meritorious deeds to establish a heroic reputation. The real monkey is actually taught by Shaman, and the fake one has a strange mind to remember the love of Emperor Wa. The cover is a magical power with many changes, and there is no real one.
There are two equals. One is the Hunyuan Yiqi Qi Tiansheng, and the other is the karma-transformed goblin. This one is the Ruyi Golden Cudgel, and that one is the same body and two troops. There is no victory or defeat when blocked by barriers, and there is no victory or defeat if you support the enemy.
After a long battle, they couldn't tell the difference between the two opponents, and their identities were mixed up. Sha Monk couldn't tell which one was real. While fighting, the two monkey kings flew to Luojia Mountain to find Guanyin to distinguish them. When they came to Guanyin, the Bodhisattva was also helpless.
It is suggested that the two of them go to heaven for a trip. After the two great sages leave,
Guanyin was frightened, "Other than the empress there, it is impossible for anyone else to make another Wukong. Is the empress warning me?!" Out of the corner of his eye, he saw the good fortune boy Hong Hai'er and the mountain god Black Bear of Luojia Mountain above their heads.
The Bodhisattva hesitated.
The two monkeys fight to the Nantianmen to find reason with the Jade Emperor. The Jade Emperor already knew the reason from the Yue Lao Palace, and even said that he was involved in the "production" of the fake Wukong. How could you not see it, but the bad thing was exposed, and "Fake Wukong"
"Kong" was taken away by the Wa Palace. He was afraid of being held responsible, so naturally he didn't dare to reveal it now. He hid his Haotian Mirror without using it, and deceived King Li Tianwang of Tota to use the demon mirror to go through the motions and deceive the two monkeys. The Heart of the Jade Emperor
road:"
Hunyuan Golden Immortal is indeed the Hunyuan Golden Immortal. We just wanted to make a 'straw man' who can contain Sun Wukong in the future. Hunyuan Golden Immortal actually directly made one that can tie with the monkey. It's amazing. Look.
You must be more careful when you come here, Hunyuan Golden Immortal's methods are really powerful." Three seats in the Lingxiao Palace, the Queen Mother saw the two Wukong making a fuss in the Heavenly Palace, sighed, and quietly transmitted the message to the fairy beside her, who seemed to have given some order.
The Jade Emperor pretended not to be able to tell the difference and drove the two monkeys out of the palace. The great sage sneered, and the traveler also laughed happily, grabbed his head and wiped his neck, went out of the gate of heaven again, fell to the west road and said: "You and I are going to see the master.
Let’s go see Master with you!”
Falling in front of Tang Monk, the two Wukongs competed for identity. Unfortunately, Tang Monk could not tell the truth from the false. The Monkey King went to the underworld to find out the most powerful intelligence weapon in the three realms - the Book of Life and Death. The two Monkeys came to the back of Yinshan Mountain and bluffed them.
The ghosts all over the mountain were trembling and hiding. Some of them ran away first and crashed into the gate of the Yin Division. They reported to the Senluobao Hall and said: "Your Majesty, there are two Monkey King Qitian on the Yin Mountain who can fight!"
Biography of King Qin Guang
Report to the king of Chujiang in the second palace, the emperor of Song in the third palace, the king of Biancheng in the fourth palace, the king of Yama in the fifth palace, the king of equality in the sixth palace, the king of Taishan in the seventh palace, the city king in the eighth palace, the disobedient king in the ninth palace, and the wheel-turning king in the tenth palace.
.One palace turns to another, in an instant
In the meantime, the ten kings gathered together and sent people to report to Ksitigarbha. They all gathered in the Senluo Palace, gathering Yin soldiers, waiting to capture the real and fake ones. They could only hear the strong wind rolling, the mist spreading, and the two travelers rolling and fighting.
To His Highness Senluo.
Lord Yin stepped forward and blocked the way: "What's the matter with the great sage, disturbing me in the underworld?" The great sage said: "I was protecting Monk Tang from going to the west to obtain scriptures. I passed by the Western Liang Kingdom and reached a mountain. Strong thieves intercepted and robbed my teacher. It was Lao Sun.
I killed a few of them, but the master blamed me and drove me back. I went to the Nanhai Bodhisattva and told me, I don’t know why the monster pretended to be me on the way.
Knocked down the master and robbed the luggage. My junior brother Sha Monk came to my mountain to ask for my baggage. This monster pretended to be a master and wanted to go to the West to get scriptures. Sha Monk fled to the South China Sea to see the Bodhisattva. I was standing by. He was about to explain the reason, and the Bodhisattva ordered
I went with him to Huaguo Mountain to watch, but this guy occupied my lair. I argued with him to go to the Bodhisattva. In fact, his appearance, speech, etc. were all the same, and the Bodhisattva was also
It's hard to tell the true from the false. I went to heaven with this guy, and it's hard to tell the gods from the fruit, because I met my teacher. My teacher recited the "Tightening Mantra" and tested it, and it was as painful as mine. So I went to the netherworld, and I hope Lord Yin will check the book of life and death with me.
"Look at the origin of the fake practitioner, and chase his soul as soon as possible to avoid chaos in his mind." The monster also said the same thing. When Lord Yin heard this, he called the judge to follow him one by one.
After a thorough inspection, there was no name of a fake practitioner. Looking at the Caterpillar Book again, the 130 monkeys were already mentioned when Sun Dasheng attained enlightenment at a young age.
, no name at all. After the investigation, report back to the palace. The Yin Lords each held their wats and said to the traveler: "Great Sage, since there is no name to search in the netherworld, why don't you go to the upper world to find out."
Just as he was speaking, he could only hear Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva saying: "Stay here, stay here! Wait until I hear the truth and tell you the truth and falsehood." It turns out that truth listening is the name of a beast under the sutra table of Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva. If he
prostrate on the ground
Next, in an instant, the mountains and rivers of the four continents, the land of caves, the heavens and the blessed land, there are insects, insects, caterpillars, feather insects, insects, heavenly immortals, earthly immortals, gods, human immortals, ghosts and immortals, who can observe good and evil.
Listen to the wise and foolish. The beast obeyed Ksitigarbha Jun's decree and lay prone on the ground in the Senluo courtyard. In the hazy moment, Di Ting heard a voice coming from the direction of the Wa Palace: "You dare!" Di Ting was so frightened that he listened to his soul.
fly
He was so distraught that he did not dare to continue exploring. After a moment, he stabilized his emotions, raised his head, and told Ksitigarbha's lie: "Although he has a strange name, he cannot be revealed to his face, nor can he help capture him." Ksitigarbha said: "
What if I say it to my face?" Di Ting said, "If I tell it to my face, I'm afraid that the evil spirits will make evil attacks, disturb the palace, and cause unrest in the underworld." He asked again, "Why can't I help capture it?" Di Ting said, "The monsters will disturb the palace and make the underworld uneasy."
His magical power is the same as that of Sun Dasheng. The god of the underworld has so much magic power that it cannot be captured." Ksitigarbha said: "How can we get rid of something like this?" Di Ting said: "Buddha's Dharma is boundless." Ksitigarbha had already figured it out.
Enlightenment. Then he said to the traveler: "You two describe the same thing and have the same magical powers. If you want to distinguish, you have to go to Sakyamuni Tathagata in Leiyin Temple to understand." The two of them shouted together: "That's right, that's right.
Yes! You and I, Buddha of the West, will go and discuss beforehand!" The Yin Lord of the Ten Palaces sent him off, thanked Ksitigarbha, returned to Cuiyun Palace, led the ghost envoy to close the Netherworld Pass, and continued to discuss the matter of "clean ghosts" along the east coast.
.
The two real and false Wukong were in the air, pulling, pulling, grabbing, and fighting. They shouted until they arrived outside the Leiyin Pagoda of Lingjiu Immortal Mountain in the Great Western Heaven. They had already seen the four great Bodhisattvas, the Eight Great Vajras, and the Five Great Vajras.
Hundreds of Aro, three thousand enlightened monks, bhikshunis, monks, Upasakas, and Upasikas all came to the Seven Jewels Lotus Platform to listen to the Tathagata's teachings. The Tathagata was speaking this:
There is something within the non-existence, there is nothing within the non-nothing. There is no color within the color, there is no void within the void. There is neither existence nor non-being, nothing is nothing. Non-form is color, non-emptiness is emptiness. Emptiness is emptiness, color is color. Form is nothing.
Fixed color, color is emptiness. Emptiness without fixed emptiness, emptiness is color. Knowing emptiness is not empty, knowing color is not color. When it is called illumination, it begins to reach the wonderful sound.
All the people bowed their heads to take refuge. While the people were chanting, the Tathagata descended from the sky and scattered the flowers in profuse colors. He then left his throne and said to the people: "You all have one mind, but you will see two minds competing."
The crowd raised their eyes to see it, and it turned out that they were two travelers, ravaging the sky and the earth, beating each other to the sound of thunder. The eight Vajras were so frightened that they stepped forward to block the way: "Where do you want to go?" The great sage said: "The demon transformed
If you want to be like me, you can go to the Lotus Platform and ask the Tathagata to tell the truth for me." The Vajras could not resist and shouted directly to the platform, knelt before the Buddha, and paid their respects.
Sakyamuni put his palms together and said: "Honorable Guanyin, look at the two practitioners, who is the real one and the fake one?" The Bodhisattva said: "The day before yesterday, when I was in the wilderness of my disciples, I couldn't tell the difference. When he went to the palace of heaven and the earth, it was also difficult to tell.
.Specially come
I pray to the Tathagata and be sure to discern with him." The Tathagata said in his heart: "Haha, I know I'm scared. I don't even dare to be greedy, but you actually secretly hid the bracelet of Hunyuan Golden Immortal casually?!"
Think about it
As one of the vice-presidents of the Three Worlds Writers Association, Sakyamuni quickly thought of what to say about the true and false Wukong, and said with a smile: "You have great power, you can only read the affairs of the universe, but you cannot know everything."
The objects in the Zhoutian cannot comprehend the types of the Zhoutian." The Bodhisattva also asked for instructions on the types of the Zhoutian, and Tathagata said: "There are five immortals in the Zhoutian, who are the gods, humans, and ghosts of heaven and earth; there are five insects, which are scales, feathers, and insects.
Neither heaven, nor earth, nor gods, nor humans, nor ghosts, nor scales, nor hair, nor feathers, nor quills. There are also four monkeys in the world, which do not fall into the ten categories." The Bodhisattva said: "May I ask which four monkeys are they?" Tathagata said:
"The first one is Ling Ming Stone
The monkey understands changes, knows the time of the sky, knows the geographical advantages, and moves the stars to change the fight. The second is the red-armed monkey, which knows the yin and yang, knows people, is good at going in and out, avoids death and prolongs life. The third is the thong-armed monkey, takes the sun and the moon, shrinks thousands
mountain, benxiu
Jiu, the world is in chaos. The fourth is the six-eared macaque, which is good at listening to sounds, able to understand, know the front and back, and everything is clear. These four monkeys do not fall into the ten categories, and do not reach the name of the two realms. I observe falsehoods
Wukong is a six-eared macaque
.If this monkey stands alone, it can know things thousands of miles away. It can also be understood by ordinary people when they speak. Therefore, it is good at listening to sounds, can understand, know the front and back, and everything is clear. The six-eared macaque has the same image and the same sound as Zhen Wukong.
.”
When the fake Wukong heard about the agreed-upon identity of the "six-eared macaque", he knew that it was about time for him to die.
The Tathagata released the magic bowl and locked the fake Wukong underneath. After opening it, the Great Sage couldn't wait and beat him to death with a stick.
"..." Tathagata was speechless and thought to himself, "This... this... this... what is going on?! Empress Nuwa just asked me to catch him. What will I do if you beat him to death?"
But it doesn't matter, it was Wukong who killed him anyway, and the Wa Palace won't blame him. He asked Guanyin to take Wukong away, but Tathagata didn't say anything. When Guanyin heard about it, he put his hands together and thanked the Holy Grace, realized that he was empty, and drove
The clouds left, and then Muzha Xingzi and Bai Yingge caught up together. Not long after, they arrived at the house where Tang Monk was staying, and Shasha
When the monk saw it, he hurriedly asked the master to come to the door to greet him. The Bodhisattva said: "Tang Monk, the one who beat you the day before yesterday was the six-eared macaque, a false practitioner. Fortunately, the Tathagata Knowledge has been beaten to death by Wukong. Now you must take Wukong in, and there will be no demonic obstacles along the way.
You must have him protect you before you can get to Lingshan Mountain, see the Buddha and learn scriptures, and stop being angry with monsters." Sanzang kowtowed and said, "I will obey the teachings.
." When I was bowing my thanks, I heard a strong wind rolling due east, and everyone looked at me. It was Zhu Bajie who came riding the wind with two bags on his back. When the idiot saw the Bodhisattva, he knelt down and worshiped: "I said goodbye to my master the day before yesterday.
I found the baggage in Shuiliandong Cave in Guoshan. I saw a fake Tang monk and a fake Bajie. They were both beaten to death by their disciples. They turned out to be two monkey bodies. But when I went inside, I found it.
I checked the baggage at that time and found a lot of it. But the wind drove me here, and I don't know the whereabouts of the two practitioners." The Bodhisattva told the story of the Tathagata's recognition of strange things. The idiot was very happy and couldn't thank him enough. The masters and disciples thanked the Bodhisattva.
When they returned to the sea, they all agreed as before to clear away their grievances and resolve their grievances. They thanked the people in the village, packed up their luggage and horses, and headed west in search of the main road.
…………………………………………
Guanyin Bodhisattva took Muzha and others to fly to the South China Sea, and a figure suddenly appeared halfway. Guanyin was frightened when he saw the person, and said: "Fairy Qingyun, you are polite."
Qingyun bowed back, "I have met Master Guanyin."
"The fairy is here...?" Guanyin asked tentatively.
Qingyun smiled and said, "My mother-in-law said that his affairs have their own cause and effect, and she doesn't care about it. But with the Great Sage, if Tang Monk doesn't do bad things, the next time he will be more than just a stick. Evil people have their own murderers, so what's the point?
The difference between humans and monsters, could it be that my demon race is inferior to the human race?!"
"I don't dare, I don't dare." Guanyin said, "The young monk has already warned Xuanzang, please rest assured."
"Haha," Qingyun smiled and bowed to Guanyin again, "The words have been brought here, the little immortal will leave now!"
"Well done, fairy," Guanyin said.
Returning to Luojia Mountain, Guanyin Bodhisattva breathed a sigh of relief, with absolutely no color in his eyes, and said in his heart: "If one day, I will definitely ascend to the Holy Throne of Hunyuan!"
