It is said that on the Shuangjiao Ridge, it is really a cold and rainy forest wind, and the sound of a gurgling stream is in the water. Fragrant and fragrant wildflowers bloom, dense bushes and rocks. Shouting deer and apes, a team of roe deer and muntjac. There are many noisy birds, and there are quiet people. The elder trembled and was restless; This horse is too timid to lift.

Sanzang sacrificed himself desperately and went up to the mountains. After traveling for half a day, I didn't see a personal smoke cottage. One was hungry, the other was uneven, and when he was in distress, he saw two fierce tigers roaring in front of him, and several long snakes coiling behind him. There are poisonous insects on the left, monsters on the right, and Sanzang is helpless, so he has to let go of his body and mind and obey the fate of God. Helplessly, the horse's waist was soft and his hooves were bent, even if he knelt down, he fell to the ground, he couldn't beat it, and he couldn't pull it. It's so bitter that a mage has no place to be around, and he is really miserable, and he has already divided himself into death, so he can't help it.

But he said that although he had calamity, he had salvation. was in that fateless place, and suddenly saw poisonous insects running, and demon beasts fled; Tigers lurk, long snakes hide. When Sanzang looked up, he saw a person, holding a steel fork in his hand, hanging a bow and arrows from his waist, turning out from the front of the hillside, and he was indeed a good man. Look at him:

He wears a leopard fur hat with mugwort flowers on his head, a cashmere brocade robe, and a lion belt around his waist. A pair of suede boots underfoot. The eyes are round like hanging guests, and the circle beard is disturbed like a river. Hang a bag of poison bows and arrows, and take a rod to point the steel fork. The thunder shattered the gall of the mountain insects, and the brave frightened the soul of the wild pheasant.

Seeing that he was approaching, Sanzang hurriedly knelt on the side of the road, clasped his palms together and shouted, "King help, King help!" ”

The man came to him, put down the steel fork, picked up Sanzang with his hand and said with a smile: "Elder Don't be afraid!" I'm not a villain, I'm a hunter in the mountains. The surname is Liu Boqin, and the nickname is 'Zhenshan Taibao'. I've just come to find two mountain insects to eat. Unexpectedly, I met you, and there were many collisions. ”

When Sanzang heard this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "The poor monk is a monk sent by the Tang Dynasty to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. When I came here, I encountered some wolves, tigers, snakes and insects, surrounded by four sides, and could not move forward. Fortunately, when the Taibao came, all the beasts left, saving the lives of the poor monks. Thank you, thank you! ”

Liu Boqin said: "I live in this mountain and rely on fighting some wolves and tigers for a living. Catch some snakes and insects to live, so the beasts are afraid that I will go. Since you are from the Tang Dynasty, you and I are both from the township. This is still the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and I am also a citizen of the Tang Dynasty. I eat the water and soil of the king with you. It is true that he is a man of a country. Don't be afraid, come with me, go to my house and rest the horse, and I will send you on the road in the Ming Dynasty. ”

When Sanzang heard this, he was full of joy, thanked Liu Boqin, and led the horse to accompany him.

The two of them had just crossed the hillside when they heard the sound of the whirring mountain wind. Liu Boqin hurriedly said, "Elder Hugh leaves." Sit here. When the wind sounded, it was a bobcat. Wait until I catch it. Just in time to go home and entertain you. ”

When Sanzang heard him say this, he couldn't help but be terrified and didn't dare to move.

The Taibao took the steel fork, dragged it away, and went up. I saw a colorful tiger and bumped into it from the opposite side. When it saw Liu Boqin, it hurriedly turned around and left. This Taibao thunderclapped and said, "That karma animal, go there!" ”

Seeing that the tiger was in a hurry, he turned around and pounced. This Taibao three-strand fork raised his hand to meet the enemy, bluffing Sanzang into paralyzing on the grass. This monk came out of his mother's belly, how could he have seen such a dangerous deed?

Taibao and the tiger were under the hillside, and the man and tiger held each other, and it turned out to be a good fight. But see:

There was a lot of anger, and the wind was rolling. is full of anger, and the Taibao is full of strength; The wind was rolling, and the spotted was spraying red dust. The one with his teeth and claws, and the one turned around. The three-strand fork is in the sky, and the tail of a thousand flowers disturbs the fog and clouds. This one should be stabbed in the chest, and the other one should be swallowed. The regeneration humanity that flashed by, and the one who collided with Yan Jun was fixed. I only heard the roar of the spotted biao, and the voice of the Taibao was loud. Spotted Biao roared, shaking mountains and rivers to frighten birds and beasts; Taibao sounded, drank the stars of Tianfu. The golden eye of the one was angry, and the one was bold and angry. Cute Zhenshan Liu Taibao, can boast of the king of the beasts. People and tigers are greedy for life and fight for victory, and some of them have three souls of slow death.

The two of them fought for a while, only to see that the tiger's claws were slow and loose, and they were stabbed down by Taibao's fork and flat chest, pitiful, the tip of the steel fork penetrated the heart and liver, and blood flowed all over the ground in an instant. Liu Boqin grabbed the tiger's ears and dragged him on the road, good man! He didn't breathe, his face didn't change, and he said to Sanzang: "Creation, creation!" This bobcat is enough for the elders to eat for a few days. ”

Sanzang couldn't praise enough, and said: "Taibao is really a mountain god!" ”

Liu Boqin waved his hand and said with a smile: "What ability do you have to dare to work hard and win awards?" This is the Elder's Blessing. Come on! Peel the skin early, cook some meat, and treat you too. ”

He holds the fork in one hand and drags the tiger in the other, leading the way. Sanzang led the horse, and then walked, walking over the hillside, and suddenly saw a mountain villa. The real one in front of the door is:

Towering ancient trees, barren vines. Thousands of winds and dust are cold, and the weather of thousands of cliffs is strange. A path of wildflowers is fragrant, and several bamboo sticks are green. The grass gate tower, the fence yard, can be depicted; The stone slab bridge, the white clay wall, the real joy is really rare. Autumn is gloomy, and the air is lonely and high. The yellow leaves fall on the side of the road, and the white clouds float on the ridge. The mountain birds in the sparse forest are deafening, and the fine dogs outside the village gate are loud.

Liu Boqin arrived at the door, threw the dead tiger to the ground, and shouted: "Where are the little ones?" ”

I saw three or four children walking out, all of them with strange shapes and evil appearances, and they stepped forward and dragged forward, carrying a tiger into it. Liu Boqin instructed: "Hurry up and peel the skin and arrange for future hospitality." ”

With that, Liu Boqin turned around and welcomed Sanzang inside. Seeing each other, Sanzang thanked Boqin for his mercy and life, and Boqin said: "People from the same country, why thank you." ”

After sitting down for tea, there was an old woman, leading a woman, to pay homage to Sanzang.

Liu Boqin introduced with a smile: "This is the mother of the family and the wife of the mountain. ”

Sanzang hurriedly got up and said, "Please sit in the hall, and the poor monks will worship." ”

The old woman smiled and said, "Elders and distant guests, please cherish yourself, don't work hard." ”

Liu Boqin said again: "Mother, he is the one who was sent by the Tang King to the West Heaven to see the Buddha and seek scriptures. At the right time, I met a child on the top of the ridge, and the child remembered the people of a country, and invited him to come to the house to rest the horse, and send him on the road tomorrow. ”

When the old woman heard this, she was very happy and said, "Good, good, good!" Just invite him, it can't be so coincidental, it happens that tomorrow your father Zhou Ji will do some good deeds with Elder Xun, recite the scriptures, and send him the day after tomorrow. ”

This Liu Boqin, although he is a tiger killer and the Taibao of Zhenshan, he also has some filial piety and can hear his mother's words. It is necessary to arrange incense paper and keep Sanzang.

As he spoke, he didn't realize that it was getting late. The children lined up the tables and stools. Take a few plates of cooked tiger meat and put them hot on top. Liu Boqin asked Sanzang to use the right to use it, and then make another meal. Sanzang clasped his palms together and said, "Good! The poor monk did not hide from the Taibao that since he was born in his mother's womb, he has always been a vegetarian, and he does not know how to eat meat. ”

When Liu Boqin heard this, he muttered for a long time and said, "Elder." For generations, the Han family did not know how to be vegetarian. It's just some bamboo shoots, pick some fungus. Find some dried vegetables and make some tofu, which are also fried in roe deer, tigers and leopards, but there is nothing vegetarian. There are two pot stoves. It's all greasy, too. What can I do? Rather, I didn't ask for elders. ”

Sanzang said: "Taibao don't have to worry too much, please use it yourself." Poor monks don't eat for three or five days, but they can endure hunger, but they don't dare to break their fasts. ”

When Liu Boqin heard this, his face suddenly changed slightly: "If you starve to death, what is it?" ”

Sanzang said: "I feel the grace of Taibao and rescue the tigers and wolves, even if I starve to death, it is better than feeding the tiger." ”

Liu Boqin's mother heard this. He shouted, "Don't gossip with the elders, child, I have my own things." You can take care of it. ”

Liu Boqin couldn't help but wonder and asked, "Where did the vegetarian things come from?" ”

Mother Liu said: "You don't care about me, I have my own knowledge." ”

As she spoke, Liu's mother asked her daughter-in-law to take off the small pot, burn it on fire, brush and brush, wash and wash, but it was still on the stove. First boil half a pot of boiling water, but then fry some mountain elm leaves with water to make tea soup, and then cook some yellow sorghum corn into rice. Then he boiled some dried vegetables, put them in two bowls, and set them on the table.

Mother Liu immediately smiled at Sanzang and said, "Elder, please use fasting, this is some extremely clean and pure tea and rice that the old man and his son-in-law have sorted out by themselves." ”

Sanzang thanked him before he sat down. Then Liu Boqin set up another place, laying out some tiger meat, fragrant roe meat, python meat, fox meat, rabbit meat without salt and sauce, ordering chopped venison jerky, full of plates and bowls, and accompanied Sanzang to eat fast.

Fang sat down and was about to raise his chopsticks, only to see Sanzang chanting with his palms together, so bluffing that Liu Boqin didn't dare to move the chopsticks, so he hurriedly got up and stood next to him. Sanzang didn't read a few words, but he stopped and smiled lightly: "Please use it!" ”

Liu Boqin couldn't help but say: "You are a monk who recites the short-headed scriptures? ”

Sanzang said: "This is not a scripture, but a mantra of fasting. ”

Liu Boqin couldn't help but shake his head and said, "You monks have a lot of plans, and you also recite and chant when you eat. ”

After eating fasting and collecting dishes, gradually late, Liu Boqin led Sanzang out of the middle house and walked to the back. Passing through the mezzanine, there is a grass pavilion, push open the door, and enter inside. I saw a few strong bows and crossbows hanging on the four walls, a few pots of arrows, two bloody tiger skins on the beams, many guns, knives, forks and sticks stuck in the root of the wall, and two seats in the middle.

Liu Boqin invited Sanzang to sit down. Sanzang saw such a dangerous pickled dirt, and he didn't dare to sit for a long time, so he walked out of the grass pavilion. Going back again, it is a big garden, but I can't see the clusters of chrysanthemums piled up yellow, and the trees and maples and poplars hanging red; Seeing a snort again, more than a dozen fat deer ran out, a large array of yellow roe deer, and when they saw people, they were stupid, and they were not afraid. Sanzang couldn't help but wonder: "This roe deer thinks it's too maintenance?" ”

Liu Boqin said: "It's like your family in Chang'an City, who has money to collect treasures, and those who have villages to gather rice and grain." We, who are hunters, have to gather some wild beasts to prepare for the clouds. ”

The two of them talked idly, did not feel dusk, and rested in the front house again.

The next morning, the whole family got up, and they fasted as a vegetarian diet, and waited for Sanzang, so please start chanting. Sanzang cleaned his hands, poured incense in front of the Taibao family hall, and worshiped the family hall. The three Tibetan sides rang the wooden fish, first recited the mantra of purifying the mouth karma, and then recited the mantra of purifying the body and mind, and then opened a volume of the "Sutra of Death".

After reciting, Liu Boqin asked to write a recommendation for the dead, and then recited the "Diamond Sutra" and "Guanyin Sutra", and recited them one by one. After reciting, I fasted and recited the Lotus Sutra and the Mida Sutra. Recite a few volumes each, recite a volume of the "Peacock Sutra", and talk about the story of the washing industry, morning and evening. Offered all kinds of incense, turned the gods into paper horses, and burned the dead Wenshu. The Buddha has finished his work, and he sleeps peacefully.

But he said that the spirit of Liu Boqin's father was so recommended that he could get rid of it, and the ghost came to the east house early, and said to the elders of the house with a dream: "I am suffering in the Yin Division, and I will not be able to live for a long time." Now I am fortunate to have a holy monk, read the scriptures, and eliminate my sinful karma, and the king of Hades sent someone to send me to the elderly family in the rich land of China to take care of my life. You can thank the elders, don't be lazy, don't be lazy. I'll go too! ”

This is this: the ten thousand laws are solemn and intentional, and the death is free from suffering.

The family woke up from a dream, and the sun was rising in the east early, Liu Boqin's wife couldn't help but say: "Taibao, I dreamed that my father-in-law came to the house tonight, saying that he was suffering in the Yin Si. You can't be born for a long time. Fortunately, the holy monk recited the scriptures and eliminated his sinful karma, and the king of Hades sent him to the family of the elderly in the rich land of China to take care of his life. Teach us to be good and give birth to Elder Xie Na, and not to be lazy. He said so, went out the door, and wandered around. We told him not to stay, but he woke up in a dream. ”

Liu Boqin nodded in surprise: "I'm also waiting for a dream, just like you." Let's go together and say to Mother. ”

The two of them were about to speak. I saw the old mother cry out, "Come, Son Birchin, and I will talk to you." ”

The two stepped forward. Mother Liu sat on the bed and said, "Son, I have a happy dream tonight, I dreamed that your father came to the house, saying that it was thanks to the elders. The karma of sin has been removed. Go to the home of the elderly in the rich land of China to take care of their lives. ”

The couple looked at each other and hurriedly said: "My daughter-in-law and I both have this dream, and we are coming to tell you, and when my mother calls, it is also this dream." ”

Liu Boqin then called the family up, arranged thanks, cleaned up the horses for Sanzang, and came forward to thank him: "Thank you for the elder for recommending my deceased father to get out of trouble and live a life, and the reward is endless!" ”

Sanzang hurriedly stepped forward to help Liu Boqin and said, "What can the poor monk do?" Thank you for your courage! ”

Liu Boqin told Sanzang about the dream words of the three people. Sanzang is also happy. After using Su Zhai, Liu Boqin had a silver tael as a thanks. Sanzang waved his hand and insisted on it, and he didn't accept a penny. The family pleaded with Yang again, Sanzang insisted on not receiving a penny, and said to Liu Boqin: "You are willing to give me a ride with mercy, which is full of love." ”

Liu Boqin and his mother and wife were helpless when they saw this. Liu's mother and daughter-in-law hurriedly made some coarse noodles and biscuits, and asked Liu Boqin to send them away, and Sanzang happily stored them. Taibao received his mother's order, and called two or three domestic children, each with hunting equipment, and went on the same road, and could not see the wild scenery in the mountains and the scenery on the mountains.

After traveling for half a day, I saw that there was a big mountain opposite, which was really high and blue, and Cui Wei was steep. Sanzang was not for a while, and he arrived at the edge. The Taibao climbed this mountain as if it were flat ground. As he walked halfway up the mountain, Liu Boqin turned around, stood under the road and said, "Elder, you move forward, but I have to go back." ”

When Sanzang heard this, he hurriedly rolled the saddle and dismounted: "Don't dare to give the Taibao another ride!" ”

Liu Boqin said: "The elder doesn't know, this mountain is called the Two Realms Mountain, the eastern half belongs to my Tang Dynasty, and the western half is the territory of Tatar. The wolves and tigers over there, if you don't surrender to me, but I can't cross the line, you can go by yourself. ”

Sanzang was frightened, turned his hands, held his clothes, and tears were inseparable.

That Liu Boqin saw Sanzang go away, and then beckoned the boy to rush back.

However, when they didn't walk for a long time, Liu Boqin and his children saw someone blocking the road in front of them.

"Where's the little girl? How dare you boldly block the way of my Taibao? One of the children asked.

The other boy approached Liu Boqin and chuckled: "Taibao! This little lady is really handsome! It's better for the Taibao to take her home and make her small. ”

"Hugh is nonsense!" When Liu Boqin heard this, he immediately frowned and scolded.

Turning to look at the red-clothed woman in front of him whose pretty face was slightly cold, Liu Boqin was about to speak, only to hear a pleasant and cold snort, and the two blazing winds hit the two children beside him who vomited blood and flew out, falling down in the mountains and forests and rolling on the ground with wails and screams.

"Girl! The domestic servant is stubborn and bold, and asks the girl to forgive her sins! Liu Boqin's face changed and he hurriedly said.

Mochizuki, who was dressed in a red Luo skirt, saw Liu Boqin looking so polite, so he waved his hand slightly, and the two children suddenly stopped screaming and got up with weak legs and feet and returned to Liu Boqin. However, with their pale faces, they no longer dared to offend Mochizuki, and they didn't even dare to look up at Mochizuki.

"Thank you, girl!" Liu Boqin also secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said to Mochizuki.

Looking at Liu Boqin, Mochizuki, whose beautiful eyes flashed slightly, said lightly: "No need!" I see that although you have just touched the path of cultivation, the method of cultivation should be good, who taught you? ”

"This" Liu Boqin's face changed slightly when he heard this, and he didn't know how to answer for a while.

Seeing this, Mochizuki couldn't help but smile lightly: "Don't be nervous! If it's really inconvenient to say, you just have to tell me where the person who taught you the way of cultivation has gone. ”

"Fairy! That immortal master went west," Liu Boqin hesitated for a moment before he said respectfully.

Mochizuki, who nodded and smiled, said, "Very good! You've got a bit of eyesight. ”

As he spoke, Mochizuki flew up, clouds under his feet, and flew towards the west.

"Fairy!" The two children secretly glanced at it, and they couldn't help but kneel down in shock.

"Congratulations to the fairy!" Liu Boqin was also busy saluting respectfully, looking at the direction of Mochizuki's departure, he couldn't help but have a flash of envy and excitement in his eyes

At the foot of the Five Elements Mountain, Sun Wukong, who was scratching his body with one hand bored, couldn't help muttering: "Why haven't you come yet?" When will it come? ”

"Who are you talking about?" A slightly playful abrupt voice rang out.

"Nian" Sun Wukong, who subconsciously replied, a spirit reacted, looked up at Yang Jiao, who appeared at some point and looked at him with a purple and gold brocade robe and a faint smile, and couldn't help glaring: "Why are you?" What are you doing here? ”

Looking at Sun Wukong's surprised and nervous appearance, Yang Jiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth slightly: "What, don't you want to see me?" ”

"You're here to see my grandson's jokes, right?" Sun Wukong, who twitched the corners of his mouth slightly, couldn't help but say.

Yang Jiao shook his head and smiled: "Sun Monkey, don't treat kindness as a donkey's liver and lungs." I have come today specifically to tell you good news. ”

"What's the good news?" Sun Wukong looked at Yang Jiao with some suspicion and curiosity.

Yang Jiao smiled with a little meaning: "The person you have to wait for, your savior is about to arrive!" ”

"Really?" When Sun Wukong heard this, his excited eyes stared at Yang Jiao and asked.

Yang Jiao, who nodded lightly, said with a light smile: "Of course! The man will be there soon. Speaking of which, you have to thank me. If I hadn't arranged it earlier, the person you would have to wait for would have already been filled in by monsters in Shuangcha Mountain. ”

"Huh?" Sun Wukong suddenly glared and said, "What monster is so bold?" How dare you"

Looking at Sun Wukong, who seemed to think of something while talking, Yang Jiao couldn't help but smile and said: "It's just a few little demons, who have just survived the thunder tribulation and become immortals." Such a small role, you Sun Dasheng can be pinched to death with your fingers casually. (To be continued......)
