Chapter 599: Going West, Three Demons
Listening to the familiar crisp and pleasant voice, and looking up slightly at Mochizuki, who appeared in the meditation room at some point, Xuanzang couldn't help but put his hands together and smiled lightly: "Donor, what Xuanzang said before, you must have heard it very clearly." And, without suing, it doesn't seem very good. ”
"Humph! This girl likes to enter without telling me! Mochizuki snorted and said, "Besides, the four major monks are empty, and this is not your place, right?" Since it's not, can you control me when I enter here? ”
Regarding Mochizuki's unreasonable words, Xuanzang, who showed a slight wry smile, said a little helplessly: "The donor came to me, did he just want to test whether Xuanzang's heart to the west is firm?" ”
"No more tests! I already know your heart. It's just that I'm thinking, the journey to the west is hard, the road is long, and the future is unknown. Did you die from the mouths of the wolves, tigers, leopards and demons, or did you die from diseases, natural disasters and man-made disasters? Mochizuki glanced at Xuanzang and said indifferently.
Xuanzang, who flashed a trace of helplessness in his eyes, said indifferently: "Life and death have their own destiny, but the poor monk's heart will not change." ”
"I wish I could kill you right now!" Mochizuki gritted his teeth and looked at Xuanzang with some 'viciousness'.
Xuanzang, whose eyes were slightly closed, didn't seem to hear it, as if he was going to wait for Mochizuki to do it.
"Xuanzang, do you really think you can succeed?" Seeing this, Mochizuki, who had been silent for a long time, couldn't help but soften, and looked at Xuanzang with a slightly complicated expression.
Xuanzang, who opened his eyes lightly, folded his hands and said: "It's man-made!" Even though the road ahead is full of dangers, Xuanzang cannot reach it in this life. Then the next life will not give up either. ”
"Hehe" Mochizuki smiled, and a pair of beautiful eyes quietly turned red: "Then I will help the master to make his wishes come true, and he can complete his merits." Arrived in the West Heaven. ”
Looking at Mochizuki, who was about to turn around and leave after speaking, Xuanzang, whose eyes flashed slightly, suddenly spoke: "Thank you, senior sister!" ”
The footsteps paused slightly, and then Mochizuki walked faster towards the outside of the meditation room.
Not long after Mochizuki left, there was a flash of light in the meditation room, and a handsome young man in a white brocade dress appeared.
"Senior Brother Xiaoyue!" Seeing the person coming, Xuanzang couldn't help but put his hands together and said politely.
With a gentle smile on her face, she stepped forward and sat down on the futon in front of Xuanzang, and waved her hand to take out the coffee table, tea stove, and teacup, Xiaoyue, who couldn't help but say, "Xuanzang." You're about to set off, and I'm here to practice it for you. If you don't drink, then we'll replace the wine with tea tonight. How is it? ”
"Senior Brother Xiaoyue came here today, is it also here to persuade me not to go west?" Xuanzang couldn't help but ask.
Xiaoyue, who was skillfully boiling tea, shook her head slightly and said, "As a person, I don't like others to interfere with what I do, and I don't like to interfere with what others do." Let's do it tonight. Tea only. Don't talk about anything else. ”
"Besides! My sister, she just doesn't want you to suffer all the way, that's all. You should understand her! Xiaoyue, who turned to look up at Xuanzang, said slowly with a slight expression.
Listening to Xiaoyue's words, Xuanzang, who was slightly stunned, was a little silent.
"Come, Xuanzang, how about tasting the tea I brewed!" A moment later. Xiaoyue smiled and poured a cup of freshly brewed tea, and stretched out her hand to Xuanzang slightly.
Xuanzang, who nodded lightly, couldn't help but say: "Immortal wonderful products." However, it is not as good as Senior Sister Mochizuki cooked it herself last time. ”
"My sister made tea for you?" Xiaoyue, who was a little surprised, couldn't help but be a little depressed: "Is she cooking better than me?" Even if that's the case, you don't have to say it to my face, do you? ”
"Monks don't speak!" Xuanzang said something indifferently, making Xiaoyue speechless for a while.
Xiaoyue, who poured herself a cup of tea, took a sip of it, feeling the same taste as chewing wax, and couldn't help but say, "Maybe I'm here by mistake tonight." Drinking tea with a monk is really not interesting! ”
"The four major Buddhist families are empty, and Senior Brother Xiaoyue is thinking too much!" Xuanzang clasped his hands together.
Xiaoyue, who was stunned when she heard this, put down the teacup lightly and shook her head and smiled: "Gotcha!" You drink slowly, I still have something to do, let's go first. ”
Seeing Xiaoyue's figure move as she spoke, turning into a streamer and disappearing, Xuanzang shook his head slightly, and slowly tasted tea with an indifferent expression.
Outside the temple, Ao Yue, who was walking back and forth in a dark blue Luo skirt, saw Xiaoyue who suddenly appeared in front of her, and couldn't help but say with surprise on her face: "It's coming out so soon?" ”
"Hey! The monk who didn't understand the amorous feelings, it was too hard to chat with him. Let's go! I heard that there are many delicacies in this Chang'an City, since you are here, wouldn't it be a pity not to taste it? Xiaoyue, who shook her head and smiled, left Hongfu Temple with Ao Yue, who was smiling, and headed towards Chang'an City
The next morning, Taizong set up a dynasty, gathered civil and military, wrote scriptures, and used the common treasure seal. Qin Tian said: "Today is an auspicious star, and it is suitable for traveling long distances." ”
The king of Tang was overjoyed, and saw the official of the Yellow Gate playing: "The royal brother is waiting for the decree outside the door. ”
Taizong hurriedly ordered Xuanshang Baodian to say: "Royal brother, today is an auspicious day for travel. This is a customs clearance document. I also have a purple gold bowl to use for you on the way. Then choose two servants who have a long line, and a horse with silver threads, and send you for the long journey. You can do this on this itinerary. ”
Xuanzang was overjoyed, even if he thanked him and received things, he had no intention of staying. The king of Tang drove in row, and sent to the outside of the customs with many officials, only to see that the monks of Hongfu Temple and the disciples sent Xuanzang's winter and summer clothes to the outside of the customs. When the king of Tang saw it, he first taught him to pack his bags and horses, and then drank wine with the officials holding the pot. Taizong raised the title and asked, "What is the name of the royal brother?" ”
Xuanzang said: "The poor monk is a monk, and he doesn't dare to be titled. ”
Taizong said: "At that time, the Bodhisattva said that there are three scriptures in the western sky. The royal brother can refer to the number of the scriptures, and the number is as the three Tibets? ”
Xuanzang thanked him again, took the imperial wine and said: "Your Majesty, wine is the first precept of the monk's family, and the poor monk will not drink." ”
Taizong said: "Today's trip is different from others. This is a vegetarian wine, only drink this glass, in order to fulfill the meaning of the cannibal. ”
Sanzang didn't dare to accept it, took the wine, and waited to drink, only to see Taizong bow his head, pick up a pinch of dust with his imperial finger, and flick it into the wine.
Sanzang didn't understand what he meant, and Taizong smiled: "Royal brother." When will I go back to the west? ”
Sanzang said: "Only in three years. Walk back to the kingdom. ”
Taizong said: "The days are long, the mountains are far away, and the royal brother can enter this wine: I would rather love the soil of my hometown, and I don't love the other country for ten thousand taels of gold." ”
Sanzang Fang understood the meaning of twisting the soil, drank it all thanks and thanked him, and went out of the customs with thanks.
King Tang saw Sanzang go away, so he ordered someone to drive back.
But it was said that Sanzang had said goodbye to the Tang King. One or two days non-stop, rushed to Famen Temple. The abbot of the temple, the elder of the upper room, led more than 500 monks. The two sides are listed, connected to the inside, and meet to offer tea. Tea into fasting, fasting after the night of the night.
The monks discussed the Buddha's destiny under the lamp. The reason for learning scriptures from the West. Some say that the water is far away and the mountains are high. Some say that there are many tigers and leopards on the road, some say that the steep mountains and cliffs are difficult, and some say that the poisonous demons and monsters are difficult to descend. Sanzang's jaws were silent, but he pointed to his heart and nodded a few degrees. The monks didn't understand what they meant, and they clasped their palms together and asked, "What is the one who nods with the mage's fingers?" ”
Sanzang calmly replied: "The heart is born, all kinds of demons are born; The heart is extinguished. All kinds of demons are destroyed. The disciple once made a great vow to the Buddha in the Huasheng Temple, and I can't help but do not fulfill this heart. This one goes. We must go to the western heavens, see the Buddha and ask for scriptures, so that our Dharma will be reincarnated, and may the Holy Lord Emperor be eternal. ”
When the monks heard this, everyone was envious, and they all preached it, and they all called out "the loyal and bold master of the law", and the praise was endless, and the teacher was invited to sleep in peace.
In the morning, the bamboo knocks and the waning moon falls, and the chicken sings Xiaoyunsheng. The monks got up, packed up the tea and fasted. Xuanzang then put on a robe, went to the main hall, and bowed in front of the Buddha, and said: "Disciple Chen Xuanzang, go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, but the naked eye is stupid and does not know the true form of the living Buddha. Today I vow: burn incense in the temple on the road, worship the Buddha when I meet the Buddha, and sweep the tower when I meet the tower. I hope that my Buddha will be merciful, appear as soon as possible, give the true scriptures, and leave the eastern soil. ”
After wishing over, Sanzang returned to the abbot to fast. After fasting, the two servants straightened out the saddle horse and urged the trip. Sanzang went out of the mountain gate and said goodbye to the monks. The monks couldn't bear to separate, and they were sent ten miles away, and they returned with tears.
Sanzang then advanced straight west. It was the autumn weather. But see:
Several villages of trees fall reed flowers broken, a few trees of maple poplar red leaves fall. The road is sparsely populated with smoke and rain, Huang Juli, the mountain bones are thin, the water is cold and the lotus is broken and haggard. The white and red knotweed frost and snow, and the lonely crane falls in the sky. The faint wild clouds fly, the birds go, the guests are there, and the sound is broken.
Sanzang and the two chiefs accompanied them for several days and arrived at Gongzhou City. There have already been officials and officials under Gongzhou to welcome them into the city. Rest for the night, and go out of the city the next morning.
Hungry and thirsty all the way, staying at night, two or three days, and then to Hezhou Wei. This is the boundary of the mountains and rivers of the Tang Dynasty. There are already the general soldiers at the edge of the town and the monks in this place, and they heard that the master of the imperial brother of Qin sent him to the west to see the Buddha, all of them were respectful, and they were supplied inside, and the monks asked to go to Fuyuan Temple to rest. The monks of the monastery, one by one, arranged an evening fast. After fasting, he instructed the two servants to feed the horses, and the sky was unknown. And the chicken Fang Ming, the followers were called, but they alarmed the monks of the temple and rectified the tea soup and fasting. Fast, out of the border.
The elder was too busy to get up too early. It turned out that at this time in the late autumn season, the rooster crowed early, so there had to be four watches of weather. A group of three people, even four horses, facing the frost, looking at the bright moon, walking dozens of miles away, seeing a mountain range, had to pull the grass to find the way, not to say that it is rugged and difficult to walk, and I am afraid that the wrong path. While they were in doubt, they suddenly lost their footing, and the three of them even fell into the pit. Sanzang was panicked for a while, and the servants were also terrified. But he was terrified, and he heard the roar and shouting inside, shouting: "Take the future, take the future!" ”
I saw that the wind was rolling, and fifty or sixty demons came out, and they pulled Sanzang and the servants up. This mage trembled, peeking at it, the demon king sitting on it was very vicious, it really was:
Majestic and majestic, fierce and dignified. The electric eyes are shining, and the thunder vibrates in all directions.
The sawtooth is outside the mouth, and the chisel teeth are next to the cheeks. Splendid around the body, the text spots wrap the backbone.
The steel whiskers are scarce, and the hook claws are as sharp as frost. The Yellow Lord of the East China Sea is afraid, and the white-fronted king of Nanshan.
Such an image bluffs the soul of Sanzang, and the two servants are soft and numb. The demon king drank the order and tied up, and all the demons tied the three of them with ropes. was about to arrange to swallow it, but I heard the noise outside, and someone came to report: "The king, Xiong Shanjun and the special priest are here." ”
When Sanzang heard this, he looked up and saw that there was a black man walking forward, how did you say what he looked like:
Heroic and courageous, light and strong body. Wading in the water is only ferocious, and running the forest is angry. It has always been a dream of fortune, and now it is heroic. Green trees can be climbed, when the cold is good. The quasi-spirit is only visible, so it is called the king of the mountain.
I saw a fat man behind me, how did you look like:
Saga's double-horned crown, shrugged his shoulders and back. The sex suit Tsing Yi is stable, and the hoof step is sluggish. The name of the father is the father, and the original name is the mother. Can work for the field. Because of the name of the special priest.
The two staggered inside, and the demon king rushed out to greet them.
Xiong Shanjun said: "General Yin, you have always been proud. Congratulations, congratulations! ”
The special sergeant said: "General Yin's abundant appearance is usual, it is really gratifying, it is really gratifying!" ”
The Demon King smiled and bowed back: "How is the second prince for a few days?" ”
Shanjun said: "Only keep Su'er." ”
The priest said, "Only at any time." ”
The three of them sat down and laughed.
I saw that the servant was tied up and cried bitterly, and the black man said: "Where did these three come from? ”
The Demon King said: "The one who sent himself to the door." ”
The priest smiled: "Is it possible to entertain guests?" ”
The Demon King said: "Flattery, flattery!" ”
Shanjun waved his hand and said, "Don't use it all." Eat the second, leave the other. ”
The demon king leads the promise, that is, the left and right. The two servants were disemboweled, their hearts were chopped up, their corpses were chopped, their heads and hearts and livers were sacrificed to the two guests, and the limbs were eaten by themselves. The rest of the flesh and bones. Distribute it to the demons. I can only hear the sound of hemp, which is really like a tiger eating a lamb, and it is eaten up in an instant. Sanzang He had seen such a battle before, and he was almost scared to death. This is just the first suffering in Chang'an!
Sanzang was afraid, and gradually the east turned white, and the two monsters dispersed until dawn, and they both said: "Today's thick disturbance, Rong Ri will be rewarded wholeheartedly." ”
Subsequently. The three monsters and those little demons all turned into a burst of demon mist and retreated.
After a while, the red sun rose. Sanzang was groggy. I couldn't tell the east and west, the north and the south, and I was in that fateless place, when I suddenly saw an old man coming with a cane in his hand. Walked forward, brushed with his hand, the ropes were broken, and the opposite side blew a breath, Sanzang Fang Su, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Thank you old man, save the life of the poor monk!" ”
The old man replied with a smile: "Get up!" Have you missed anything? ”
Sanzang said: "The servants of the poor monks have been eaten by blame, but I don't know where the luggage and horses are?" ”
Lao Suo pointed out with his staff: "Isn't that a horse and two burdens?" ”
When Sanzang looked back, it was his object, and he had never lost it, so his heart was slightly lowered, and he asked Lao Suo: "Old man, what is this place?" Why is my father-in-law here? ”
Lao Su said: "This is the Double Fork Ridge, which is the lair of tigers and wolves. Why did you fall into this? ”
Sanzang said with palpitations: "When the poor monk's rooster crowed, he went out of the Hezhou Wei Realm, but he got up early, and the frost and dew were revealed, and he suddenly lost this place. Seeing a demon king, he was too stubborn and tied up the poor monk and the two servants. I saw a black man again, who was called Xiong Shanjun; A fat man, who said to be a special sergeant, walked in and called the demon king General Yin. The three of them ate my two servants, and the light of day was gone. I don't want me to have this fate, and I feel that my husband is here to save me? ”
Lao Su said: "The priest is a bison spirit, the mountain monarch is a bear spirit, and the general Yin is a tiger spirit." Left and right demons, all are mountain spirits, tree ghosts, monsters and wolves. It's just because of your nature that you can't eat you. You come with me and lead you on your way. ”
Sanzang was grateful, put the burden on the horse, held the reins, and followed Lao Suo out of the pit and onto the road. But he tied the horse to the grass beside the road, turned around and thanked the father-in-law, who turned into a gust of wind, straddled a crest-topped white crane, and flew away.
I saw that the wind fluttered and left a simple post, four sentences of praise on the book, and the song of Ziyun: I am the white star of the West Heaven, and I am here to rescue your souls. There is God's help in moving forward, and don't complain about hardship.
Sanzang saw it and bowed to the heavens: "Thank you Venus, get rid of this difficulty." ”
After worshipping, Sanzang cleaned up his mood, led the horses, and was lonely and miserable, moving forward.
After Sanzang left, as a burst of blood mist rose, a tall and cold woman dressed in white appeared, who was Bailing.
"King!" General Yin, the special sergeant, and the three monsters of Xiongshan Jun also appeared later, saluting respectfully to Bailing.
"Humph! I can't imagine that this bad old man Tai Bai Xing will also come to insert a lever! After glancing at the nine heavens, Bai Ling, who snorted coldly, turned to look at the direction of Sanzang's departure with beautiful eyes and said indifferently: "You three, it's difficult to achieve anything here, let's take those little demons and leave with this king!" ”
When the three monsters heard this, they were immediately overjoyed and hurriedly responded respectfully. These days, it's not easy to be a monster! Although it seems to be comfortable to be the king of the mountain, if the strength is insufficient, if you meet a powerful demon slayer and defend the way, you will burp. It's better to follow a powerful demon king to have a sense of security!
Bai Ling, who was just about to leave, frowned slightly as if he was aware of it, looked at the distance behind him and said coldly: "What person?" ”
"It's me, what's the matter, don't you know?" A crisp and pleasant voice sounded, but there was a faint hint of coldness.
I saw a flash of red light, and there was a red shadow flying in the mountains and forests not far away, which was Mochizuki.
Without waiting for Bai Ling to speak, General Yin shouted: "Presumptuous! When you see the king, you still don't kneel and salute? ”
'Peng' made a muffled sound, and General Yin, who had not finished speaking, vomited blood and flew out.
"Miss Mochizuki!" Bai Ling, who waved his hand casually, turned to salute Mochizuki who had fallen in a flash.
Mochizuki said with a slightly cold face: "Hmph! King Bailing is so majestic! Is it interesting that you are a demon-like existence, teasing a mortal monk? ”
"Bailing is just acting on the orders of his master! Does Miss Mochizuki know the monk? Neither humble nor arrogant, Bai Ling couldn't help but look at Mochizuki with some confusion as he spoke.
When Mochizuki heard this, his eyebrows furrowed slightly: "It has nothing to do with you whether I recognize you or not!" You say it was at the behest of your master? Why did Senior Brother Yang Jiao ask you to do this? ”
"I don't know this very well!" Bai Ling shook his head.
Seeing this, Mochizuki, who was frowning and silent for a moment, waved his hand and said, "Okay, since Senior Brother Yang Jiao ordered it, if you want to tease him, tease him!" But I'm not going to kill him, you know? Alright, let's go! ”
"Miss Mochizuki don't worry, the master also told us not to kill him!" Bai Ling assured with a smile.
After speaking, Bai Ling beckoned to the three demons who were looking at Mochizuki with some surprise and curiosity, and left with them.
After they left, Mochizuki couldn't help but frown slightly and muttered, "Strange! Why did Senior Brother Yang Jiao come in? Never mind! That stinky monk, since he wants to endure hardship, let him eat well! (To be continued......)
