Chapter Ninety-Seven: What to Borrow for the Night
The four masters and apprentices divided the treasures, and Monk Sha also got his lost demon scepter, and the group went to the West Heaven Road again.
Tang Xuanzang sat on the white dragon horse, watching the surrounding trees flash, thinking that the Lingshan that he didn't want to go to should not have left the gate yet.
If the blue sky is used as the roof tiles, the sun and the moon are the window lattices, and the four mountains and five mountains are the beams and pillars, the heaven and the earth are like a house.
Now that they have arrived in Xiniu Hezhou, they are still just wandering around the hall, and they really want to play around Lingshan, it's still early!
Sun Wukong carried the golden hoop stick in front to open the way, and Zhu Bajie led the white dragon horse in one hand and a nine-toothed nail rake in the other, following behind.
At the back of the line, there was Sha Wujing, who was carrying the burden.
The wooden boxes hanging at both ends of the burden were originally empty, which the Tang Emperor was preparing to use to hold scriptures, but now they are filled with the clothes of three people.
As for Tang Xuanzang's clothes, they were originally packed in his sleeves, but at night, without alarming the sleeping white bone spirit, he slipped into the purple gold bowl and found a room specially used to put clothes.
After passing through a relatively flat area, we came to a steep mountain.
The higher the mountain, the more likely it is to have youkai.
Tang Xuanzang was not afraid, the more monsters came, the better, either they accepted them or their treasures.
The more you save, the better.
Tang Xuanzang is not ready to marry only one, so the family background will have to be thicker.
Walking along the mountain path, playing with the mountain scenery, unconsciously the red wheel fell westward, the bell tower drum sounded, and a bright moon was full of glory.
Tang Xuanzang watched from a distance on the horse, and saw that there were towers stacked in the mountain col, and the palaces were heavy, looking like a temple.
Tang Xuanzang said: "Apprentices, hurry up and sleep in the temple tonight!"
Since leaving the Baoxiang Kingdom, Tang Xuanzang has changed a batch of materials and hoarded some rice grain, but he will not be hungry along the way, and even Zhu Bajie can eat eighty percent full, let alone a few of them.
It's this camping in the mountains and forests, although I'm not afraid, but I also feel a little desolate.
When the masters and apprentices walked to the mountain gate, they saw that the brick walls were muddy and pink, and the doors on both sides were nailed with gold nails.
When I looked up to see what kind of temple it was, there was a layer of dust on the mountain gate.
Seeing this, Sun Wukong touched the dust with his hands.
There are five big characters on it: Ejian Baolin Temple.
Sun Wukong fell to the ground and asked, "Master, who in this temple will go in and spend the night?"
Tang Xuanzang said: "I'll go in! You look amazing, I'm afraid of scaring them again." ”
The three of Sun Wukong were stunned, hid outside the mountain gate, found a stone, and rested.
Tang Xuanzang went straight into the mountain gate, and saw that in the red lacquered railings on both sides, there were a pair of King Kongs, an iron-faced steel beard, and a glare.
Step to the second layer of the mountain gate, see that there are four heavenly kings, holding the country, many news, growth, wide eyes, according to the northeast and southwest columns.
Entering the door of the second floor, I saw four pine trees, under the cover of the emerald green umbrella, it was the Daxiong Treasure Palace.
Tang Xuanzang stepped into the hall, looked at the Buddha statue, did not worship, turned the Buddha platform, went to the back door, and saw a Guanyin Pudu South China Sea Phase.
However, this appearance is naturally different from the real person, this appearance is just a compassionate appearance, but there is no appearance of her.
Look at the surrounding walls are all shrimp, fish, crabs and turtles pretended by good craftsmen, showing their heads and tails, jumping into the sea and playing in the water.
Tang Xuanzang was looking and saw a Taoist walking out of the three gates.
Seeing Tang Xuanzang's strange appearance and extraordinary appearance, the Taoist hurriedly stepped forward to salute and asked, "Where did the elder come from?"
Tang Xuanzang said: "I am driven by the Tang Dynasty in the East and sent to the West to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ”
The man said, "Elder, don't blame, I can't be the master. I am a hard-working Taoist who sweeps the floor and rings the bell here, and there is a housekeeper in it, and I will wait for me to go in and give him a shout. ”
"If he keeps you, I will keep you, and if he refuses, I dare not keep you. ”
Tang Xuanzang nodded in understanding.
The man hurriedly went inside to report: "Host, someone is coming outside!"
The monk immediately got up, changed his clothes, pressed his Pilu hat, put on his robe, hurriedly opened the door to greet him, and asked, "Where is anyone coming?"
The Taoist pointed with his finger and said, "Isn't there a person behind the main hall?"
Tang Xuanzang leaned at the door of the hall, lazily waiting.
When the monk saw this, he was furious and said, "The Taoist is not beaten! You don't know that I am a monk official? I only come out to greet the adults from the city who offer incense!"
"Such a monk, why are you still so false and substantial, report me to pick him up!"
"You see him like that, most of them are wandering monks, it's getting late, and they want to come to spend the night. How can we let him be disturbed in our temple, let him stay under the porch!"
Pull away.
Seeing this, Tang Xuanzang followed him into the Zen courtyard.
The monk took off his clothes and sat there in a huff, not knowing whether to recite the scriptures or do things for others, and there was a pile of paper piled up on the table.
Tang Xuanzang said, "This elder, we want to spend the night, I don't know if it's possible?"
The monk said impatiently, "Where are you from?"
Tang Xuanzang said: "I am from the East to the Tang Dynasty to go to the west to seek scriptures, passing by the treasure land, it is getting late, I want to use a night, tomorrow morning to leave." ”
The monk stood up and said, "Are you that Tang Sanzang?"
Tang Xuanzang said: "I am." ”
The monk said, "Since you went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, why can't you even walk?"
Tang Xuanzang narrowed his eyes and said, "What do you mean?"
The monk said, "Just west, four or five miles, there is a thirty-mile shop, and there are people selling food in the store, and you can stay there." I am inconvenient here, so I can't keep your monks from afar. ”
What he said was strange, Tang Xuanzang wanted to stay today.
Tang Xuanzang clasped his palms together and said: "The master of the courtyard, the temple is the temple of our outsiders, and there are three liters of affection when I see the mountain gate." Why didn't you keep me?"
The monk shouted angrily: "You monk from the traveling side, you are just a little flamboyant!"
Tang Xuanzang raised his eyebrows and asked, "Why are you flamboyant?"
The monk said: "When the tiger entered the city, every house was closed. Although it doesn't bite, it has a bad reputation a few days ago. ”
"Why did you get a bad name a few days ago?" Tang Xuanzang nodded in his heart, it seems that it is not the problem of our group.
The monk said: "Before, there was a group of monks who came to the gate of the mountain and sat down, and I saw that they were all in tatters, bald and barefoot, so I invited them into the monastery, entertained them for fasting, and lent him one piece of their clothes, and kept him for a few days. ”
"Who knew that he was greedy for food and clothing, and he didn't want to leave, so he lived for seven or eight years!
"What's the bad thing?"
The monk said, "Listen to me, throw tiles along the wall when you are free, and pull the nails on the wall when you are bored......
Tang Xuanzang said in his heart that this group of people is really annoying......
This monk was once bitten by a snake and was afraid of the well rope for ten years?
