Chapter 400: Cowering Monkey
Tang Sanzang has always been a clean and self-righteous person, all the way to the west, the number of times he was defiled by this plain white monk's robe can be said to be very rare, but today's whim, he cleaned this golden light pagoda sincerely and seriously, and did not care about being soiled by the dust monk's robe.
And the sky will be dark, the tower is also dim and hazy, Tang Sanzang such mortals are difficult to distinguish things, so the monkey found the candle left in the golden light tower, and lit it for Tang Sanzang to illuminate.
"Come, Master, be careful ...... bump"
The monkey lowered the candle to his knees, illuminated Tang Sanzang, who was following up the stairs, and said with concern.
"yes, okay."
Tang Sanzang took a broom to clean the dust and cobwebs on the stairs, while Ao Yu, a small body that could not reach a few places, held a dustpan and swept the dirty things that Tang Sanzang swept to the side.
The Golden Light Pagoda, where the first floor is located, is extremely high, and can easily accommodate a large number of Buddha statues of more than ten meters, or even tens of meters, but the second floor is up, just like ordinary buildings, at least mortals like Tang Sanzang can barely reach it with a broom.
On the second floor, even with the assistance of Monkey and Ao Yu, it took Tang Sanzang more than half an hour to clean it.
Tired......
Well, for Tang Sanzang's physique, such a small multi-person exercise is not tiring, but looking at the new environment in front of him, Tang Sanzang inexplicably felt a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
"Wukong, Yu'er, let's move on to the next floor."
Tang Sanzang tightened the somewhat loose plain white monk's robe a little to avoid being cumbersome, and walked towards the third layer.
And the monkey looked at Tang Sanzang's somewhat embarrassed appearance, and his heart ached, why did his master usually do such a trivial matter? Generally, it is the eight precepts or the sand monk who completely takes over.
Immediately, the monkey held a candle in front of him to illuminate Tang Sanzang, and spoke. "Master, why don't you let the disciples clean the remaining floors?"
"Wukong has a heart, but he is not tired of being a teacher, and he likes to do these things himself."
Tang Sanzang smiled slightly, his image was slightly embarrassed, and the Zen Buddha meaning was not reduced by a point, but was more intense.
3rd Floor......
4th Floor......
……
Layer after layer, until the middle of the moon, Tang Sanzang, who was used to sleeping on time, felt a trace of sleepiness and yawned, only then wiped his forehead without the slightest sweat with his sleeve and asked.
"Wukong, how many floors are there in this Golden Light Tower?"
The monkey's fiery eyes lit up slightly, swept up and down, and suddenly narrowed.
"Demon ......"
When the monkey looked up, he found that there were two demonic qi entrenched at the top of the Golden Light Tower.
"Huh? Goku? Tang Sanzang saw that the monkey seemed to be stunned, and asked.
"Master......"
When the monkey heard this, he hurriedly replied. "There are thirteen floors in this Golden Light Tower, and now we are on the eleventh floor, and there are still two floors."
"Aha~~~"
Tang Sanzang nodded slightly, and when he was about to continue cleaning, he couldn't help but yawn.
Seeing this, the monkey's eyes lit up, and he spoke again. "Master, it's late tonight, why don't you ...... with your little mother first Ao Yu rests, does his daily homework, and how about leaving two floors for my grandchildren to do for me? ”
"Do your daily homework?"
When Tang Sanzang heard this, he suddenly remembered that he hadn't recited the "Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra" today, and there were still two floors of the Golden Light Pagoda that had not been cleaned.
At the same time, tomorrow I need to visit the king of the Saiguo, the image is not good, I am afraid that it will damage the elegance of the Tang Dynasty, this kind of behavior will be criticized by the Tang Dynasty envoy and many readers.
As for why the image is not good, they don't care about it.
Seeing that Tang Sanzang seemed to have a tendency to be tempted, the monkey smiled and spoke again. "Besides, Master, you asked my grandson to come up with you to sweep the tower, but my grandson was in charge of the lamp the whole time, and the dirty work was done by the master himself, if Bajie knew, wouldn't he want to laugh at my grandson for being lazy?"
"It's ...... anyway"
After a pause, Tang Sanzang did not forget to remind. "Wukong, then when you sweep the tower, you have to pay attention, don't bump into anything."
When the monkey heard this, he took the broom, took off the tiger skin scarf to prevent it from getting dirty, and replied warmly in his heart. "Master, don't worry, my grandson is not so easy to get hurt."
"Uh......"
Tang Sanzang watched the monkey disappear into the stairs after a few jumps, hesitated for a moment, and still didn't say the words in his heart.
What the teacher is worried about is that you, the leather monkey, are injured, but that you, the leather monkey, will accidentally push the golden light tower.
Immediately, Tang Sanzang found a futon on the eleventh floor, sat cross-legged, and began to sit on his daily routine.
As for Ao Yu, who followed Tang Sanzang step by step, he naturally did not follow the monkey to sweep the tower, but sat down with Tang Sanzang with great familiarity.
"When contemplating the bodhisattva of self-reliance, when he walks deep in Prajnaparamita, he sees that the five aggregates are empty, and he overcomes all suffering......
……
On the other hand, the monkey who had reached the twelfth floor first was not in a hurry to go to the thirteenth floor immediately to investigate the situation of the demonic qi.
After all, the master is in his body, and compared to the two little demons, sweeping the tower is much more important.
Of course, the monkey will not be gentle with such a broken tower, and the broom in his hand waved wildly, as if he was turning the golden hoop stick, and pieces of afterimages appeared in the golden light tower.
"Hoo ......"
For a while, along with the sedimented dust and cobwebs, there were all kinds of small objects, such as curtains, incense candles, plates, and so on.
Immediately, the monkey's index finger was placed in front of his mouth, and with a gentle blow, it suddenly swept into a violent wind, rolling up many small objects that flew up randomly, and flew towards the outside of the Golden Light Tower.
"Well, Master said that throwing objects from high altitudes is not good......"
Considering the Master's usual teachings, the monkey thought and breathed a sigh of relief again, and blew the messy garbage mixed with small objects towards the Thirty-Three Heavenly South Heavenly Gate.
The monkey watched from afar as the "Le Se" disappeared into the night, patted his palm lightly, looked around left and right, looked at the few Buddha statues sitting alone on the twelfth floor, and said something to himself.
"Good, the excess has been cleared."
Of course, in order to avoid disturbing Tang Sanzang's cultivation, the actual movement of the monkey was not big, it was just a little louder.
Mo said that when it came to Tang Sanzang, he didn't even notice the two little demons on the thirteenth floor.
And the monkey thought slightly in his heart, and his eyes grunted, but there was an interesting idea in his heart.
Immediately, the monkey transformed into a small novice who was eight points similar to the Supreme Treasure, holding a broom in his hand, and walked up to the thirteenth floor with a broom in his hand.
