Chapter 189: Tongtai Mansion, Outside the Kou
After spending a night in Bujin Temple, Xuanzang and others set off on the same day, and were introduced by the princess in the palace. After walking for more than ten days, he saw a city wall in front of him.
I saw that the city walls were close to each other, and the mist was touching the sky, just like that mortal fairyland, which made people fascinated from a distance.
"Wukong, that city wall, but what is the place?" Seeing this distant member at this moment, Xuanzang opened his mouth and asked: "I am in charge of the city wall for a peaceful place, is it a paradise?" ”
"Master, here, my grandson doesn't know that it's a place to go" Seeing this city wall at this moment, Sun Wukong opened his mouth and said: "My old grandson passes by here on weekdays, all of them are in the nine clouds, high and high, but I forgot that this place is a place to go." ”
As soon as these words came out, Xuanzang couldn't help nodding slightly at this moment, this ability to soar clouds, high and high, covering his eyes with thousands of floating clouds, it is normal to not know what place to go here.
In this way, the five masters and apprentices moved forward again, crossed the suspension bridge and walked through the city gate, only to see that this Chen Zhennei was quite wealthy, and the two old men on the long street were chatting with each other at the moment, looking quite comfortable.
Seeing this old man like this at this moment, Xuanzang stepped forward at this moment and said, "Two old men, you are polite below."
These two old men were gossiping there, talking about the gains and losses of the rise and fall, the heroic deeds at that time, when they suddenly heard Xuanzang's post, they immediately got up and replied: "Oh? What does the Guru have to say? ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang was overjoyed at this moment, and said: "The poor monk is a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West Tianling Mountain, but now the path treasure is not where the boundary is, so I came here to ask for advice!" ”
As soon as these words came out, the two elders were slightly stunned, and then said: "It turned out to be the master of the Eastern Earth Heavenly Dynasty, the little old man, polite, we are a place behind the Tongtai Mansion There is a Diling County, since the master is going to the West Tianling Mountain, compared to the people of Zen Buddhism, if you want to eat fasting, you don't need to turn the fate, just pass this archway, the north and south streets sit east to west, there is a tiger sitting on the gatehouse, where is the residence of the Kou Yuanwai, he has a great wish in this life, to entertain 10,000 monks, like you are waiting for such a heavenly master, you can be used"
As soon as these words came out, Xuanzang couldn't help but secretly marvel in his heart, this trick to treat monks is a practice of Zen monks, this Kou member actually made a grand wish to entertain 10,000 monks, so kindness can be seen, and the majesty of its financial resources can also be seen!
Hearing this, Xuanzang thanked the two old men at this moment, and immediately turned to Sun Wukong and the others and said: "This place has been changed to Diling County, Tongtai Prefecture, and there is a coward who has renewed his grand wish to entertain 10,000 monks, but the meal is to ask us to go to fast. ”
As soon as these words came out, Wujing on the side smiled slightly and said: "The West is really a sect among the Buddhist families, there is really a custom of fasting monks, since this place is a prefecture and county, there is no need to change the customs clearance documents, I will go to eat some fasting food, and then go on the road."
As soon as these words came out, everyone nodded yes at this moment, and immediately followed the old man's instructions and walked towards the outer house of the coward.
At this time, seeing Xuanzang and the others walking towards Kou Yuanwai's house, the eyes of the two old men looked at Xuanzang, and immediately, there was a trace of imperceptible coldness in their eyes.
Walk slowly through the archway, it is a street that runs north and south, the gatehouse where one or two tigers sit stands in front of you, at a glance, it is extremely magnificent, under the gatehouse is a huge house, which is wide and magnificent, obviously quite rich.
Changed into the tiger sitting on the archway, only to see that the top is densely packed with monks, but at a glance, most of them are monks in the Western Regions, and the name of the Middle Earth has never been seen, and they have all died on the westward road.
In addition to this archway, there is a stone tablet in front of the door, this stone tablet is engraved with the word ten thousand monks do not block death, and it is full of pride at a glance.
Seeing this, Xuanzang and the five were about to knock on the door, but at this moment, they suddenly saw a small house walking out of the door, and then saw Xuanzang and others, and then, there was a hint of information on their faces, and they said at this moment: "Master! Master! What a happy event! There are five monks outside the door! ”
With the words of this little guy, an old man slowly walked out of the house, this old man was kind and kind-eyed, and his steps were hobbling, and at first glance he was an old man, obviously the rumored outsider.
At this moment, a Xuanzang, this Kou Yuan's eyes swept over Xuanzang's master and apprentice, and found that there were exactly five people who did not fall, seeing this, he was extremely happy in his heart, and immediately said: "The five masters are invited quickly"
Hearing this, Xuanzang bowed down at this moment to thank this Kou Yuanwai, and then Sun Wukong and others walked towards the depths of the courtyard under the leadership of Kou Yuanwai.
Slowly came to the house of this Kou Yuanwai, but saw that it was elegantly set up, and it was the appearance of the big family at a glance, and the things in the home were made of gold and silver, and there was no copper and iron utensils, and the golden light was dazzling at a glance, and it was obviously a huge wealth!
At this moment, Xuanzang and the Kou Yuan Wai sat down in the room, and at this moment, the Kou Yuan Wai opened his mouth and smiled: "I don't know where the master came from, where he is going, where he is the person, and which temple gate he has taken refuge in?" ”
Hearing this, Xuanzang smiled slightly at this moment and said: "The poor monk is the Eastern Tang Dynasty Qincha, who went to the West Tianling Mountain and studied under the Jinshan Temple of the Tang Dynasty."
"It turned out to be a Heavenly Pilgrimage Monk!" At this moment, Kou Yuanwai heard what Xuanzang said, and said happily: "The disciple's name is Kou Hong, he has wasted sixty-four years, since the age of forty, he has made a grand wish to fast 10,000 monks to be considered complete, and now he has fasted 9,995 monks, and there are still four less who are not complete. ”
"Besides, this place is only more than 100 miles away from Lingshan, the elder will go underwater early after eating today, and wait until tomorrow morning, and I will spend this vow meeting with me, and then after this grand vow is returned, it is not too late to go on the road again!"
At this moment, this Kou Hong looked at Xuanzang in front of him, opened his mouth and said, immediately clapped his hands, and said: "Hurry up and prepare for a vegetarian feast, tea and fruit drink, and entertain the five masters!" ”
As soon as this Kou Hong's words came out, Xuanzang just folded his palms together and thanked him at the moment, and then sat quietly beside this Kou Hong, looking at the surrounding furnishings.
At this moment, I saw that this room is full of things used by Zen people, what rosary bowls, wooden fish heart sutras are the same, and there are also enshrined Lingshan Rulai statues, which look extremely solemn at a glance.
Seeing this, Xuanzang smiled slightly at the moment, and then he was stunned, his body grew up in Jinshan Temple since he was a child, and he got along with the Buddhist monks day and night, but at this moment he looked at the things in front of him, but there was always an indescribable feeling, thinking of this, his eyes swept over again, and immediately, he found something unusual.
