Extra Chapter 7: The Four Saints Are Getting Married
"The Four Saints test the Zen mind, carry out subversive sabotage, and allow the members of the Buddhist scripture collection team to worship with one of them successfully, which will greatly reduce the reputation of Lingshan."
Looking at this task, Xiao Jiang almost laughed out loud. He asked one person in his team to marry one of the other party. He touched his chin. As long as he did it correctly, it was entirely possible.
"Ah, this... I can't get through it. How can I go to the West to pray to Buddha and seek scriptures? Is there any way Bajie can do it?"
Tang Seng's voice brought Xiao Jiang back to his senses. He glanced at Liushahe without saying a word. With his ability as a monkey, it would be as simple as drinking water to take Tang Seng there. However, he was only a protector, except for Tang Seng who had the potential to kill himself.
Trouble will never come to you.
Zhu Bajie knew from the lower realm that he and Xiao Jiang were deliberately arranged by Heaven. He knew that the Buddhist scriptures would be successful, but he could not let Tang Monk be too relaxed. He looked at Liushahe and said:
"Master, I don't have any good ideas. We can ask Master. Although he can't help us, he can still give us some ideas."
Tang Monk immediately looked at Xiao Jiang expectantly. Xiao Jiang smiled and opened his mouth to Liushahe and said:
"The Tang Dynasty from the East went to the West to worship Buddha and learn scriptures. People are here. Aren't the monsters in the water coming out to worship the Buddha?"
Tang Monk was stunned, and before he noticed, he saw the quicksand river burst into a water column of hundreds of feet, and a monster covered in water plants rushed forward.
Tang Monk was startled by the monster that appeared. The monster fell and shouted:
"Where is the pilgrim?"
Xiao Jiang coughed dryly, and when the monster looked at him, he said quietly:
"Why doesn't General Shutter recognize me?"
The monster was stunned and hurriedly saluted:
"It turns out to be the Great Sage Sun. How did you get here? I am here to wait for the pilgrims according to the Bodhisattva's order. I even took the Buddhist name Sha Wujing. I didn't expect to meet the Great Sage today."
Xiao Jiang smiled and said:
"I am just a Dharma protector traveling to the west to accompany you to study the sutras. You are the disciples arranged by the Bodhisattva to study the sutras. The person in front of you is Master Tripitaka. Sitting here is his eldest disciple Wu Xin. This is his second disciple Zhu Bajie, who was also the heavenly disciple at that time.
Marshal Peng Zhu Ganglie, please hurry up and don’t waste time crossing the river.”
Sha Wujing shook all the water and plants away from his body, only to see that he had messy hair, shawl, green face, and a fierce look on his face. A sinister and sinister aura lingered around his body, and nine white skulls hanging around his neck made him even more sinister.
Tang Monk was dumbfounded by Sha Wujing's fierce appearance, but Sha Wujing came forward and knelt down with a smile and said:
"Sha Wujing paid homage to Master and asked Master to ordain me."
Xiao Jiang looked at Tang Seng. He knew that this Tang Seng was different from the normal Tang Seng. He said with a naive smile:
"Sanzang, put down your butcher knife and become a Buddha immediately. Since Sha Wujing has become a Samana, you don't need to care about his past affairs. Just be yourself."
Tang Monk nodded, calmly got off his horse, took out the razor and said:
"Wu Jing, you have two senior brothers, Wu Xin Wu Neng. To be a monk, you must have the appearance of a monk. I hope you will remember to enter the teachings and become a qualified monk. From now on, I will call you Sha Seng, so as to remind you all the time.
The identity of a monk."
"Disciple, I obey..."
Tang Monk took Sha Wujing in, and the Buddhist scripture collection team was finally complete. Although the heads and people were correct, the structure was a bit messy. After crossing the Liusha River, the team quickly headed west.
After walking for less than two days, at dusk that day, Tang Monk, who was riding in front, suddenly reined in his dragon horse and pointed forward and shouted:
"There is a villa ahead. There is no need to sleep out tonight. Let's go and find a place to stay."
Xiao Jiang glanced behind him, and within his sight was a barren mountain, but someone had just used magic power to transform a house into one.
"Are you here? That'll be fun, Cihang...you know I'm here, but you still follow me to try your Zen mind. Are you afraid that you haven't suffered enough?"
Xiao Jiang muttered in his heart. The team had already arrived at the gate of the villa. As soon as he knocked on the door, he saw the door creaking open. A beautiful middle-aged woman opened the door with two maids. She looked around and frowned at the group of people and said:
"Why are you guys here? Look at you
Do they look like bandits?"
After saying that, the woman glanced around, and when she saw Xiao Jiang, Xiao Jiang winked at her. A smile appeared in the woman's eyes and she stared at Tang Sanzang. Tang Monk put his hands together and said:
"The poor monk Tang Sanzang came to the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures on the orders of the Emperor of Tang. The two people around me are my disciples, and the one behind me is an accompanying protector. I passed by your place today to seek a night's sleep. Tomorrow morning
Then I set off to the west, hoping that the female donor would be convenient."
The woman nodded and said:
"It turns out he is an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty. Please come in."
All the way into the house, after everyone sat down, the woman said with a smile:
"Holy Monk, I see that you are beautiful and energetic, and your disciples are also majestic and majestic. The Eastern Land of the Tang Dynasty is rich in spiritual beings and outstanding people. I don't know why you want to go to the wild land in the West to seek some true scriptures?"
Tang Seng was silent for a moment and said:
"Western Lingshan Mahayana Buddhism can save all sentient beings, but there is always injustice, unfairness, and unrest in the world. If people understand compassion and have good intentions, they will naturally achieve transcendence."
Tang Seng didn't have the confidence to say this, let alone others. Xiao Jiang was sitting across from him, drinking tea and enjoying himself. He was not interested in listening to anything Tang Seng or the other party had to say.
The woman looked at Tang Monk and said:
"Holy Monk, Buddhism talks about good fate. It is your fate that you are here today. The old woman has a request today, and I hope that the Holy Monk will grant it."
Although Tang Seng was smart, he lacked social punishment. He considered many things with his usual thinking. When he heard the old woman's request, he actually said calmly:
"Donor, please tell me, as long as you are not doing anything to support evil, I, a monk, will definitely help you with all my strength."
"Oh, I'm trapped."
Xiao Bai's laughter came to Xiao Jiang's ears, and Xiao Jiang also smiled secretly. This Tang Monk would have to suffer a lot before he could understand the complexity of society.
The woman's face lit up with joy when she heard what Tang Monk said, and then she sighed and said:
"My family's original surname is Jia, and my husband's surname is Mo. Less than five years after we got married, my husband died in the West. Unfortunately, my three daughters and I became orphans and widows. There are no men in the village, and we can only hire thousands of acres of grain fields outside."
People take care of it.
I think it is very hard for the holy monk and his party to live in the open with little future, and my three daughters are already adults. It is better for the holy monk to stay and marry my daughter. Firstly, he can avoid the fatigue all the way, and secondly, he can be the parent of my family. I don’t know what the holy monk thinks.
?』
Tang Monk's eyes widened when he heard this. He hurriedly clasped his hands and said:
"A poor monk has been a monk since he was a child. He has strictly followed the precepts and has not been sexually attracted to women. What's more, I have been ordered to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras. I have already agreed to the emperor's order and will never delay on the way. I hope the female Bodhisattva will forgive me."
Tang Seng's response was quite quick. He excused himself on the grounds that he was a monk and was acting under orders, so the other party naturally had no reason to force him.
