Chapter 3 Zhu Xian joins the gang

It is said that Tang Seng and the two went all the way to the west and came to Gao Laozhuang, Sun Wukong stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the door creaked open, and the man saw Sun Wukong's appearance and exclaimed: "Monster! Just about to run, Sun Wukong grabbed his hand and said: "You don't have to be afraid, I'm not a monster, I am the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info You go and talk to your family. ”

Tang Seng stepped forward and said, "Wukong, let it go quickly, don't scare people." Sun Wukong let go of his hand, and Tang Seng said to the little guy: "This donor, the poor monk is a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East to go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. ”

The little guy saw that Tang Seng was indeed a monk, and said, "Elder, please wait a moment, I'll go and talk to the master." ”

Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "There is a labor almsgiving." ”

After a while, Old Man Gao walked out to greet Tang Seng and the two, and a few people went in, Old Man Gao instructed his subordinates to prepare some fasting meals, and said, "The elder is the monk of the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures?" ”

"It's the poor monk."

Old Man Gao was expressionless, and said, "Elder, I'll eat some fasting first, I'll ask someone to tidy up the room for you, I still have some things, go first." ”

After that, Old Man Gao walked out and came to a small pavilion; In the small pavilion, Zhu Xian was sitting with Gao Cuilan in his arms, gently stroking Gao Cuilan's belly with both hands, only to see that Gao Cuilan's belly was a little bulging, thinking that she was pregnant. Gao Cuilan leaned on Zhu Xian's chest like this, with a happy smile on her face.

Zhu Xian saw the old man coming and said, "Cuilan, dad is here." Then he and Gao Cuilan got up.

Old Man Gao came to Zhu Xian and the others, and hurriedly said, "Here, he's here." ”

Gao Cuilan was puzzled: "Dad, who did you say is here?" ”

And Zhu Xian said with a smile: "It's Tang Seng who is here, and I noticed the monkey's breath just now." ”

Gao Cuilan's expression changed, and she grabbed Zhu Xian's hand nervously.

Zhu Xian comforted: "Don't worry, I'll be back, I still want to see our children!" ”

Gao Cuilan also knew that she couldn't stop Zhu Xian's departure, and said: "Then you have to be careful, you must come back alive, I don't want our children to be without a father." ”

"Hehe, I won't have anything to do until I get the scriptures, and besides, I'm not easy to bully." Zhu Xian smiled: "I'll go to find them, do you want to go?" ”

"Forget it, I'm still not going, I'll go back to my room first."

"That's good! Xiaolan, come and accompany Miss back. Zhu Xian shouted, only to see a woman dressed as a slave and maid coming over. Zhu Xian said: "Xiaolan, you have to take care of Miss, I will leave soon, I don't know when I will come back." ”

Xiaolan said: "Uncle, don't worry, Xiaolan will definitely take good care of Miss." ”

The old man next to him said with a bitter face: "Xiaoxian, do you really want to go?" ”

Zhu Xian smiled: "Thank you father-in-law for your concern, I have to go, I also want to see who is calculating me, that Lingming stone monkey is also a poor guy, they are all chess pieces." But I'm trying to be a chess player. Father-in-law, let's go! Go meet them. After that, Zhu Xian raised his feet and left, Old Man Gao looked at Gao Cuilan, sighed and followed Zhu Xian.

Zhu Xian came to the lobby, called Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, and laughed: "Hahaha... These two are the master and the elder brother, right? ”

Sun Wukong shouted: "Oh, who are you? Why you scream, we don't know you. ”

Tang Seng got up, folded his hands, and said, "Yes! Donor, why do you call us that? ”

"If you are a monk who wants to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures, then you are right, Guanyin asked me to guarantee that you go to the West Heaven to learn the scriptures, and you have a master-apprentice relationship with me." Zhu Xian smiled and said: "And you, a monkey, you don't know me, but you know you, Monkey King, the Monkey King, in the early years, apprenticed to Bodhi in the three-star cave of the slanting moon, will change seventy-two times, one fights for 108,000 miles, and the Bull Demon King and others worship as brothers, five hundred years ago, the Heavenly Palace was pressed by Rulai under the Five Elements Mountain. ”

Tang Seng was overjoyed and said: "It turned out to be the arrangement of Guanyin Bodhisattva!" In this way, you are my second apprentice, and since you have entered my disciple, I will give you a legal name. Well... Let's call it Bajie! ”

Zhu Xian sneered in his heart: "Heh! It's really Bajie, it seems to be similar to the legend, if that's the case, it's good to play chess. ”

Sun Wukong asked, "How do you know that my affairs are so clear?" Do you know something? Tell me quickly. ”

Zhu Xian sneered: "Sun Wukong, don't talk to me in your tone, do you really think that you can overturn the heavenly realm with a little skill you have learned?" Just leave you useful, or you'd have died a long time ago. ”

Sun Wutian scratched his head and shouted: "Ahh You lied to me, otherwise why didn't the immortals of the heavenly court make a move and let Rulai suppress me? ”

"Hehe, do you know who you are? You don't know, why do you think Heavenly Court can sit on the Heavenly Realm? Just by virtue of the mana you have learned from Bodhi for two or three years, can you argue with the heavenly court? What a joke. Zhu Xian said disdainfully: "If you want to know the truth of the matter, listen to me, you will know later." Okay, master, I'll go first, and I'll go on the road with you tomorrow. ”

After that, Zhu Xian walked back to his room, Gao Cuilan sat on the bed with an unhappy face, Zhu Xian walked over and hugged her, and said, "Okay, don't be unhappy, it's not like I won't come back." You practice the exercises I gave you well, and when I solve the problem, we can be together forever. ”

"Hmmm! I listen to you. I'm waiting for you and my children to come back at home, and you are not allowed to mess with flowers and grass outside, otherwise I will be angry. ”

"Huh! Don't you still believe your husband? How could I be that kind of person, it's enough for me to have you. ”

"Humph! You don't dare. ”

……………

The next day, Zhu Xian and Tang Seng set off on the road together, behind them the Gao family watched them go away at the door, Gao Cuilan's tears couldn't stop flowing, Old Man Gao patted Gao Cuilan on the shoulder and walked back, and the others also scattered away, only Gao Cuilan's two sisters stayed by her side to comfort her.

The three of them and one horse went all the way to the west, out of the border of Wusi Tibet, a high mountain stood in front of them, Tang Seng said: "Where is the famous mountain ahead?" ”

Zhu Xian thought for a moment and said: "This mountain is called Futu Mountain, and it is said that there is a Wuchao Zen master practicing here in the mountain. ”

After a short time, the three of them came to the mountain, and saw that there were pine and cypress trees planted in the south, and willow and peach trees in the north.

A few people took a closer look, only to see a grass nest on the cypress tree, and a person sitting on the grass nest, Sun Wukong stepped forward and said: "You are the Wuchao Zen Master?" ”

Wuchao Zen Master jumped off the grass nest and said, "It's a poor monk!" ”

Tang Seng dismounted and bowed down, Wuchao Zen Master picked up, and said: "Holy monk, please get up!" It is not appropriate for the holy monks to make such a big gift. Who are these two? ”

Tang Seng said: "This sharp-mouthed and shrunken cheek, hairy monkey-headed face is my eldest apprentice Sun Wukong, and the other white and chubby is my second apprentice." ”

Tang Seng said again: "May I ask the Zen master, I don't know how much distance there is in Lingshan here?" ”

Zen Master Wuchao smiled: "It's still far away!" There are many demons and monsters blocking the way all the way to you, and there are many disasters, I have a volume of "Many Heart Sutras", which is taught to you, and reciting this Heart Sutra can protect you from demons and monsters, as for external forces, it depends on a few of your apprentices. After that, Zen Master Wuchao taught it orally.

After a while, after the Wuchao Zen Master passed the Heart Sutra, he flew up to the grass nest with clouds and clouds, and recited in his mouth: "The road is not difficult, listen to my instructions: thousands of mountains and thousands of rivers are deep, and there are many miasma and many demons." If you encounter a cliff, rest assured that you will be terrified. Walk to Moore Rock and follow the footsteps sideways. Carefully in the black pine forest, the demon fox intercepts the road. The elves are full of cities, and the demon lord Yingshan lives. The tiger sits in the piano hall, and the blue wolf is the main book. Lions and elephants are kings, and tigers and leopards are kings. ”

Tang Seng thanked and said: "Thank you Zen master for giving me the scriptures!" ”

Then, the three of them bid farewell to Zen Master Wuchao and continued to the west. Along the way, I slept in the open air, overcame obstacles, and it was a hot summer day, so it was not difficult to walk.

On this day, when the sun was setting, the three of them saw a house on the side of the mountain road, walked to the house, and walked to the door, only to see that the door was half-hidden, and an old man inside was chanting Buddha in his mouth. Zhu Xian shouted: "Hey! Elderly. ”

The old man opened his eyes and saw Tang Seng and a few people, so he was about to step forward to speak, but when he saw Sun Wukong's fierce face and hair, he shouted in horror: "Ah! Youkai, youkai! ”

Tang Seng stepped forward and said: "Don't be afraid, the old donor, he is not a monster, he is my eldest apprentice." It's just that the appearance is a little ugly, which disturbs the old donor, please forgive me. ”

The old man asked with some trembling, "I don't know what the elder is doing here?" ”

Tang Seng said: "The poor monk is a monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to learn scriptures. ”

The old man said: "It's okay for you to stay overnight, but you can't go to this western sky, and the elder should go back!" ”

Tang Seng asked: "How can you not go to this western sky?" ”

The old man said: "Thirty miles to the west, there is a mountain, called Eight Hundred Miles Huangfeng Ridge, there are many monsters in that mountain, so I can't go." ”

Zhu Xian stepped forward and said, "You just let me wait for a night, why do you ask so much?" ”

Tang Seng reprimanded: "Eight precepts, don't be rude." ”

"Hey!" Zhu Xian sneered and stopped talking. Xin said: "As long as you idiot only have the life of being a chess piece, whatever you do, as long as it doesn't hurt your life, I don't care." You're really careful! Don't miss a single step. ”

Tang Seng said to the old man: "Old donor, don't pay attention to him. ”

The old man then asked his daughter-in-law to cook some food and chatted with a few people. After eating, a place to stay for a few people was arranged, and then they returned to their original position to chant Buddha alone.
