Listening to the impatience in Sun Wukong's tone, the two gods couldn't help but glance at each other and hurriedly said, "So that's the case." There is no innocence in this stream, but it is deep and steep and wide, the water light is completely clear, the crow magpie does not dare to fly over, because the water is clear and sees its own shadow, it is recognized as the bird of the same flock, and often throws it in the water, so it is called the eagle sorrowful steep stream. It's just that a few years ago, Guanyin Bodhisattva rescued a jade dragon because he was looking for someone to learn the scriptures, sent him here, and taught him to wait for the person who took the scriptures, and not to do evil. When he was hungry, he would come ashore to pounce on some magpies and magpies, or catch some roe deer to eat. I don't know how ignorant he is, and today he collided with the Great Sage. ”

Sun Wukong's expression moved, and he said helplessly: "The first time, he also insulted Lao Sun and circled a few times. The next time, it was Lao Sun who scolded him, and he didn't come out again, so he made a method of turning over the river and stirring up the sea, and mixed up his stream, so he came up and argued. I didn't know the weight of Lao Sun's stick, he couldn't cover it, so he turned into a water snake and burrowed in the grass. I came to look for him, but there was no sign of him. ”

The land hurriedly said: "The great sage doesn't know that this stream has thousands of holes, so this wave is far-reaching. I think there is also a hole here, and he will drill it. There is no need for the great sage to be angry, looking for it here, to capture this dragon, just ask Guanyin to come, and naturally subdued. ”

Sun Wukong saw that after a little thought, he called the mountain god land to come to see Sanzang together, and said the past.

Sanzang couldn't help but say, "If you want to invite the Bodhisattva, when will you have to come back?" How can you endure the hunger and cold of the poor monks! ”

Before the words fell, I could only hear a golden head in the dark sky shouting: "Great Sage, you don't need to leave, the little god will go and invite the Bodhisattva to come." ”

secretly scolded Tang Seng for only knowing how to eat Sun Wukong. Hearing this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "I'm tired!" Go now, go now! ”

That revealed the truth and rushed straight to the South China Sea.

Sun Wukong instructed the mountain god and the land to protect the master. On the day of Gongcao, he went to find fasting offerings, and he was unwilling to rush to the side of the stream to patrol without a problem.

However, it is said that the golden head revealed the truth and drove the clouds, arrived in the South China Sea early, pressed the auspicious light, and went until the purple bamboo forest of Luojia Mountain, and the envoys of the golden armor and Hui'an conveyed that they could see the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva said indifferently: "What are you doing here? ”

Jiedi hurriedly said respectfully: "Enlightened Bodhisattva." Tang Seng lost his horse in the steep stream of Snake Mountain, and Sun Dasheng was in a dilemma. And asked the earth god in this place, and said that the evil dragon sent there by the Bodhisattva was swallowed. The great sage came to the little god to ask the Bodhisattva to descend this evil dragon and return his horses. ”

Hearing this, the Bodhisattva nodded and said, "This guy is originally the son of Ao Qin of the West Sea. He set fire to the jewel of the temple, and his father accused him of disobedience, and committed a capital crime in heaven. It was I who saw the Jade Emperor in person. beg him down and teach him to do a leg with Tang Seng. Why did he eat Tang Seng's horse instead? Wait until I come. ”

The Bodhisattva descended to the lotus platform, left the fairy cave, and drove the auspicious light with Jiedi, and came across the South China Sea. There is a poem as evidence, and the poem says:

The Buddha said that the Mido Sanzang Sutra, the Bodhisattva Yang Shan is full of the Great Wall. Maha witty words are all over the world. Prajna mantra saves ghosts.

caused the golden cicada to come out of its shell again, so Xuanzang was ordered to practice again. It's just that the road is blocked, and the eagle is sad. The dragon is transformed into a horse form.

The Bodhisattva and the Revelation of the Truth, not long after arriving at the Snake Pan Mountain. But he kept the auspicious clouds in the air and looked down. I saw Sun Wukong scolding by the stream. The Bodhisattva smiled and immediately called him to reveal the truth. That Jiedi pressed the head of the clouds, without going through Sanzang, until the edge of the stream, and said to Sun Wukong: "Great sage! Bodhisattvas are coming! ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he jumped into the air and shouted angrily at Guanyin Bodhisattva: "You teacher of the Seven Buddhas, the master of compassion!" How did you do it to me! ”

The Bodhisattva shouted, "I'll take you bold horse flow, village foolish Akajiri! I have tried my best again and again to get someone to learn from the scriptures and tell him to save your life. Why didn't you come to thank me for my life, but instead came to shout at me? ”

Sun Wukong couldn't help but snort and said, "You made me so good!" Since you let me out and let me play freely, you met me at sea the day before yesterday, hurt me a few words, and taught me to do my best to serve Tang Seng. How can you give him a flower hat and coax me to wear it on my head and suffer? Grow this hoop on the head of the old grandson, and teach him to recite a scroll of mantras, and the old monk recited and recited, teaching me that this head hurts and hurts, isn't this you harming me? ”

The Bodhisattva laughed and said, "You monkey! If you don't obey the fatwa and you don't get the right result, if you don't restrain you in this way, you will deceive the heavens. It seems that there was a disaster in the past, who will take care of it? You have to get this devil before you can enter my yoga path! ”

Sun Wukong said in a sullen voice: "This matter, it is my devil, why did you send that guilty evil dragon here to become a sperm and teach him to eat my master's horse?" This is another indulgence in evil, too unkind! ”

The Bodhisattva said: "That dragon is my own Jade Emperor, ask him to be here, and make a foot force for the scriptures." How do you think that the mortal horse from the east can experience all these thousands of rivers and mountains? How did you get to the Buddha Land of Lingshan? You have to get this dragon horse to get it. ”

Sun Wukong shouted helplessly: "He is so afraid of Lao Sun that he can't hide, what can he do?" ”

The Bodhisattva called Jiedi and said: "You go to the side of the stream and shout, 'Ao Qin Dragon King Yulong Third Prince, you come out, there is the Bodhisattva of the South China Sea here.'" And he came out. ”

Na Jiedi received the order, and hurriedly went to the side of the stream and called twice.

The little dragon jumped out of the water, turned into a human figure, stepped on the clouds, and bowed to the Bodhisattva in the air, saying, "I have waited here for a long time to liberate the Bodhisattva from the grace of life, and I have not heard from the people who have learned the scriptures." ”

The Bodhisattva pointed to Sun Wukong and said, "This is not the great apprentice of the scripture learner? ”

When Xiaolong saw it, he couldn't help but say, "Bodhisattva, this is my opponent. Yesterday I was hungry and ate his horses. He relied on some strength to fight me back timidly, and scolded me so much that I didn't dare to come out behind closed doors, and he never mentioned a word about learning from the scriptures. ”

Sun Wukong said depressedly: "You didn't ask me what my surname is, why should I say it?" ”

Xiaolong said: "I didn't ask you where you came from?" You shout, 'It doesn't matter where you are, just give me back!' 'He once said half a Tang character! ”

The Bodhisattva nodded and said, "That monkey head, relying on self-improvement, is willing to praise others?" If you ask, first mention the word to learn the scriptures, but you don't have to bother, you will naturally bow down. ”

Sun Wukong was unhappy when he heard it, but he responded sullenly.

The Bodhisattva stepped forward. He plucked the pearl of the little dragon, dipped the willow branch in nectar, and brushed it on him. Blowing fairy breath, shouting: "Change!" ”

The dragon then turned into his original horse, and then commanded: "You must pay back your karma with your heart, and after you have achieved it, you will surpass the dragon and return you a golden body." ”

The little dragon couldn't speak, and nodded slightly. Heart-to-heart.

The Bodhisattva asked Wukong to lead him to Sanzang, and then said, "I'll go back to the sea." ”

Sun Wukong stepped forward to stop the Bodhisattva and said, "I'm not going, I'm not going!" The western road is so rough. When will I get this mortal monk? It seems that there are so many trials and turns, and it is difficult for the old grandson's life to be complete, how to achieve any success! I'm not going. I'm not going! ”

The Bodhisattva said, "You were a young man. and be willing to cultivate with all their hearts; Thou hast escaped the natural calamity today, and how can thou be lazy? The destruction of silence in our door must be made true by faith. If you go to the place where you are wounded and afflicted, I promise you to call the heavens and the earth, and the spirits of the earth. Ten points to the time when it is difficult to escape, I will also come to save you personally. Come here, and I'll give you general skills. ”

The Bodhisattva plucked three willow leaves and placed them on the back of the walker's head. Cheers: "Change! ”

The three willow leaves immediately turned into three life-saving hairs, and the Bodhisattva instructed him: "If it comes to the season when there is no help and no master." You can adapt to emergencies and save you from the disaster. ”

Sun Wukong heard these many good words, so he reluctantly relented and thanked the Bodhisattva.

The Bodhisattva's incense wind is swirling, the colorful mist is fluttering, and it turns to Putuo and leaves.

Only then did Sun Wukong press the head of the clouds, pull the mane of the dragon horse, and came to see Sanzang: "Master, the horse is here!" ”

Sanzang was overjoyed when he saw it: "Apprentice, why is this horse fatter than before?" Where did you find it? ”

Seeing Tang Seng's happy appearance, Sun Wukong secretly pouted and said, "Master, you are still dreaming!" But it was the golden head who invited the Bodhisattva to come and turn the dragon into our white horse. Its hair is the same, but the saddle bridle is missing, and the old grandson will be in the future. ”

Sanzang hurriedly asked, "Where is the Bodhisattva?" Wait for me to thank her. ”

Sun Wukong couldn't help but say: "The Bodhisattva has arrived in the South China Sea at this time, and he is impatient. ”

Sanzang picked up the soil and burned incense, looked south to worship, bowed, got up and moved forward with Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong retreated from the land of the mountain gods, and ordered Jiedi Gongcao, but asked the master to get on the horse. Sanzang hurriedly said: "How can you ride that horse without a saddle brand?" And wait for the boat to cross the stream, and then make a district. ”

Sun Wukong was secretly depressed in his heart: "This master is so ignorant of current affairs!" Where did the ship come from in this wilderness mountain? This horse, who has lived here for a long time, will know the water, so he will ride him into a boat. ”

Sanzang had no choice but to follow his words and straddle the horse. Sun Wukong carried his bags and accompanied him to the edge of the stream.

I saw a fisherman at the head of the upper class, holding a raft of dead wood, and went down the river. Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly greeted with his hand: "That old fisher, you come, you come." I went to the east to learn the scriptures, my master is sad here, you come to cross him. ”

When the fisherman heard this, he was busy holding on. Sun Wukong asked the master to get off the horse and support the left and right. Sanzang got on the raft, grabbed the horses, and set up the luggage. The old fisherman stretched out the raft, like an arrow in the wind, and unconsciously crossed the steep stream of Eagle Sorrow, and went to the west bank.

Sanzang taught Sun Wukong to untie the burden, take out a few pennies from the Tang Dynasty, and give them to Lao Yu. Lao Yu stretched the raft open and said, "No money, no money." ”

As soon as the words fell, the raft had already gone to the middle stream.

Sanzang didn't even care, just clasped his palms together and thanked him.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong couldn't help but say, "Master Hugh is greeting." You don't recognize him? He is the god of water in this stream. I didn't come to pick up my grandson, and my grandson still had to beat him. Only now that he is exempt from fighting, how dare he ask for money! ”

When the Tang monk heard this, he didn't seem to believe it or not, so he had to straddle the horse again, follow Sun Wukong, go straight to the road, and go west. This is exactly what it is: the vast is really like climbing to the other side, and the sincerity is on the spiritual mountain.

After they left, the void on the cliff next to the Eagle Sorrowful Stream was slightly distorted, and two figures appeared, it was Yang Jiao and Nuwa.

"Humph! That stinky dragon, isn't it as strong as following me to follow a mortal monk? You really deserve it! The girl said with some indignation.

Yang Jiao shook his head and smiled: "He will also have a lot of gains from his tempering this time." ”

"What do you gain when you have a leg strength?" The girl was a little unconvinced.

Yang Jiao smiled faintly and didn't say anything.

Besides, the Tang monks and apprentices went all the way, and the red sun sank in the west, and the sky was getting late, but see:

Light clouds stir up. The mountains and the moon are dark. The sky is full of frost and cold, and the wind is heard on all sides. When the lonely bird goes, the sky is wide, and the mountains are low in the distance. The sparse forest roars with a thousand trees. The lonely ape cries in the hollow. There are no pedestrians for a long time, and when the boat returns into the night.

Sanzang watched from afar on the horse, and suddenly saw a village courtyard on the side of the road. Sanzang couldn't help but say: "Wukong, there is a family in front of you, you can spend the night, and you can do it again tomorrow morning." ”

Sun Wukong looked up and said, "Master, it's not a village." ”

Sanzang frowned and wondered, "How not?" ”

Sun Wukong hurriedly said: "People's Zhuangyuan." But there is no flying fish to stabilize the spine of the beast, this is a temple and nunnery. ”

As the master and apprentice spoke, they had already arrived at the door. Sanzang dismounted. I saw that there were three big characters on the door, which were "Li She Ancestral Hall", and I looked at it curiously and nodded into the door. There was an old man with a few beads hanging on his top. Gassho to greet. Voice: "Elder, please be seated." ”

Sanzang hurriedly replied, went to the temple to pay homage to the holy icon, and the old man called the boy to offer tea. After tea, Sanzang asked the old man: "What is the 'Li Society' in this temple?" ”

The old man explained with a smile: "The elder doesn't know, but we are at the border of the country of Zephan Hafei. There is a village behind this temple, and they are pious and set up this temple. The one who is in the village is a land; Socialist. It is a shrine earth god. Every day of spring ploughing, summer ploughing, autumn harvest and winter storage, each does three animals and fruits. Come here to the shrine to ensure that the four seasons are clear, the five grains are abundant, and the six animals are luxuriant. ”

When Sanzang heard this, he couldn't help but smile and nod his head and praise: "It's three miles away from home, don't be a rural style." I don't have this kind of people there. ”

The old man asked curiously, "Where is the Elder Immortal Township?" ”

Sanzang said: "The poor monk was ordered by the Eastern Tang Dynasty to go to the west to worship the Buddha and seek scriptures. Passing by Baofang, it will be late, specially cast the Holy Shrine, stay overnight, and the sky will go. ”

The old man was very happy when he heard this, and said a few words of disobedience, and asked the boy to cook. Sanzang thanked him after eating. Sun Wukong's eyes were sharp, and he saw that under the eaves of his house, there was a rope for his clothes, and when he was about to go, he tore it off and tied the horse's feet. Seeing this, the old man couldn't help but laugh and said, "Where did you steal this horse?" ”

When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately said angrily: "You old man, you don't know how to speak!" We are holy monks who worship Buddha, how can we steal horses? ”

Lao Er smiled: "It's not stolen, why didn't you have the reins of the saddle, but you came to tear off the rope of my clothes?" ”

Sanzang said: "This naughty is just dry." Thou shalt tie the horse, and ask the old man for a rope, how can you tear off his clothes? The old gentleman is not to blame, and he is to blame. I won't tell you the truth from this horse, I didn't steal it. Yesterday came to the east, to the eagle sorrowful steep stream, the original riding of a white horse, saddle bridle complete. And behold, there was a dragon in the stream, and he swallowed my horse and the bridle. Fortunately, my apprentice has some skills, and I felt that Guanyin Bodhisattva came to the stream to catch the dragon, and taught him to become the white horse I originally ridden, with the same hair, and carried me to the west to worship the Buddha. Now I crossed the stream, but I didn't get a day, but I arrived at the holy shrine of the old ancestors, and I haven't put a saddle bridle. ”

The old man suddenly smiled and said, "Elder Hugh, my old man is joking, who knows that you are serious." When I was young, I also had a few village money, and I was good at riding a horse, but because I was tired of being old, I lost the fire, and there was no bottom here, so I used it as a temple blessing and served incense. Fortunately, after this, the Zhuang donor's family raised money to survive. I still have a saddle bridle there, which is my dear thing in my daily life, and even if I am so poor, I have never been willing to sell it. I just listened to the words of the master, the Bodhisattva is still saved, the dragon taught him to turn into a horse to carry you, but my old man can not have less help, tomorrow will take the saddle brand, willing to send the master, buckle the back to go, begging for a smile. ”

When Sanzang heard this, he couldn't thank him enough. In the morning, I saw the boy take out the evening fast. After fasting, put on the lamp, set up the bunk, and go to bed.

The next morning, Sun Wukong got up and said: "Master, that temple wishes Lao'er, last night we were allowed to saddle the bridle, and asked him if he wanted to spare him." ”

"You monkey, so calculating! How can we monks be so greedy! Tang Seng couldn't help but say.

Before he said anything, I saw that the old man, Guo Qing, carrying a pair of saddle bridles, lining drawer reins, etc., all of which were immediately used, were all prepared, and put them under the corridor and said: "Master, the saddle bridles are offered." ”

When Sanzang saw it, he received it happily, and asked Sun Wukong to take it, and put it on his back to see if it was commensurate or not. The walker stepped forward and picked them up one by one to look at them, and sure enough, they were some good things. There is a poem as evidence, and the poem says:

The carved saddle is colored and the Cambodian silver star is shining, and the treasure stool is bright and golden. Several layers of velvet are stacked on the liner drawer, and three strands of purple silk rope are drawn.

The bridle scalp is full of flowers, and the cloud fan depicts the shape of a golden dancing beast. The ring is chewed and knocked into tempered iron, and the two are dipped in water and knotted with hair.

Sun Wukong was secretly happy in his heart, and put the saddle bridle on his horse, as if he was doing it.

Sanzang thanked the old man, and the old man hurriedly picked up and said, "Panic, panic!" What is the thanks? ”

The old man will no longer stay, please Sanzang on the horse.

Tang Seng went out, climbed the saddle and got on the horse, and Sun Wukong carried the luggage. The old man took out a whip from his sleeve, but it was the handle of the fragrant vine of Piding'er, and the tip of the tiger tendon thread. He bowed his hand on the side of the road and said, "Holy monk, I still have a hand, and I will send it to you." ”

The three treasures immediately answered: "Bear a lot, give a lot!" ”

was inquiring, but the old man had long since disappeared, and when he looked back at the shrine there, it was a bare land. I only heard someone say in mid-air: "Holy monk, how simple is you." I am the land of the gods of the mountains of Raka Mountain, and I was sent by the Bodhisattva to send saddle bridles and you. Thou shalt try to go westward, but thou shalt not slack off. ”

With these words, he suddenly panicked and got off the saddle, looked into the sky and bowed: "The disciple is mortal with the naked eye, and he does not know the face of the gods, and he hopes to beg for forgiveness." Trouble to convey to the Bodhisattva, deeply blessed. ”

You see that he just kowtows to the sky, and there are countless of them, and he laughs alive on the side of the road, and he likes the Monkey King diligently. stepped forward and grabbed Tang Seng and said, "Master, you get up." He is far away, and he cannot hear your prayers, nor see you kowtow. What do you have to say? ”

Tang Seng was dissatisfied and said: "Apprentice, if I kowtow like this, you won't worship him, and stand next to him, just laugh, what's the reason?" ”

Sun Wukong couldn't help laughing and said: "Master, how do you know that someone like him, who hides his head and shows his tail, should have beaten him, just to see the Bodhisattva's face and spare him all the beatings, and he still dares to be worshiped by my old grandson?" Lao Sun has been a good man since he was a child, and he doesn't know how to worship people, but when he saw the Jade Emperor and Taishang Laojun, I just sang a word. ”

Sanzang reprimanded: "Not the son of man!" Don't talk about it! Hurry up, don't miss walking. ”

With that, the master and apprentice got up and packed up and went west.

This trip has been on the Taiping Road for two months, and the people I met were all captives, returns, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. Time is fast, and it is early spring, but I see the mountains and forests are green, and the plants and trees are green and sprouting; Mei Ying fell, and the willow eyes began to open.

The master and apprentice played with the spring light, and saw the sun set in the west. Sanzang Le Ma remote view, in the mountain recess, there are the shadow of the building, the palace is heavy. Sanzang couldn't help but say, "Wukong, what do you think is the place to go?" ”

Sun Wukong looked up and said, "It's not a temple, it must be a temple." Let's get up and spend the night. ”

Sanzang happily obeyed, let go of Ryoma, and rushed forward. (To be continued......)
