See the light at the end of the tunnel
Since the woodcutter said that, every time he passed through a city in the future, the master would dance like a child seeing candy, saying that the one in front of him might be Tianzhu Kingdom.
Tianzhu Kingdom can be said to be the end point of our learning, because Rulai lives in Tianzhu Kingdom; But at the same time, it is not the end, because the scriptures are stored in the Great Leiyin Temple, which is still some distance away from the Tianzhu Kingdom.
When passing through a small town on the border of Tianzhu Kingdom, Brother Monkey took a heavy rain there by the way. Because the county lord there poured the rice dedicated to the Buddha for the dog to eat, and was accidentally bumped into by the Jade Emperor, so the Jade Emperor stipulated that no rain was allowed in this place for three years.
Come to think of it, this emperor is really stingy.
It is worth mentioning that Emperor Lao'er was a private visit to Weifu at that time, which was the same as Qianlong's hobby. I don't know if they are brothers.
The county lord entertained us very ceremoniously, I thought that the master was going to live here for three or five months, but I didn't expect that the next day he decided to continue the journey, saying that he was afraid of delaying the trip, and he would be blamed by the king of Tang after he returned.
The master's sense of responsibility is very strong, and his determination to learn from the scriptures is as strong as the determination of the monsters to eat him.
Adjacent to Tianzhu Kingdom, there are many small cities and counties along the way. Just like in the daughter country, no matter where we go, there are people around to see the strange, they say that they have only seen the monk who descends the dragon and subdues the tiger; This monk is really creative, and he actually came to a pig and a monkey.
The monk they were talking about was of course referring to Master.
They think we're pig demons and monkey spirits.
Although Senior Brother Sha and I have been covering our faces all the time, there are still many people who come up and look at each other, and the expression is tantamount to the earthlings seeing aliens.
After passing through a few counties of Tianzhu Kingdom, I gradually saw the glittering golden light coming out of the Spirit Mountain.
After walking for a few more days, I saw the golden-topped immortal of the Jade True Temple standing outside the temple from a distance.
The Golden Peak Immortal said that Guanyin Bodhisattva asked him to wait here ten years ago, but he didn't expect us to arrive now.
Listening to the tone of his voice, it was as if we had fooled him.
The next day, we were ready to go to the Buddha's house to learn the scriptures.
If the Buddha lives in an independent villa, surrounded by flowers and trees.
The villa of the Buddha is quite large, and I heard that it occupies a hill.
In front of the villa is a big river that is seven or eight feet wide, and the source of the river is a waterfall pouring down next to the villa, I don't know if it is from the Milky Way in the sky to divert water from the south to the north. Maybe the guests who went to the Buddha's house were some gods and immortals, and there was no bridge on the river, only a big log spanning there, which seemed to be specially prepared for us. The Golden Dome Immortal said that in order to obtain the true scriptures, you need to walk over this single-plank bridge, and you are not allowed to cheat.
Master definitely didn't dare, not only did Master not dare, but even me and Senior Brother Sha didn't dare.
Brother Monkey trotted all the way over, and then said something encouraging on the other side of the bridge, just like we used to cheer him on when he was fighting youkai.
I originally wanted to ride the clouds over, but Brother Monkey said that it would be insincere.
This Buddha is enough to toss people, and when he arrives at the door of his house, he still has to put some scores, and he is not clean and neat at all, and he is reckless. Therefore, when Brother Monkey wanted to pull me across the bridge, I said that I would rather go home than cross this single-plank bridge; Otherwise, we will be looked down upon by the Buddha, thinking that we really have to learn from the scriptures.
Regarding this, if you can bully the master, you can't bully my old pig; The master planned to accept his disciples to run a school after taking the scriptures, and rely on that profession to eat; My old pig is not, it doesn't matter if I take the scriptures or not, it doesn't matter if there is a true scripture or not, anyway, my old pig will spend fourteen years playing tricks, and I will still live happily with Sister Lan when I go back.
Fortunately, if the Buddha is also a person who knows each other, it is estimated that there are only a few of us who learn the scriptures, and other people will not be able to come at all. Maybe he thought that if he really made it difficult for us to get by, then his scriptures would not be taken, which meant that his business would not be done. This loss is considerable.
So, in the end, Rulai sent a boat holder to pick us up, although I don't know who the boat is, but I guess that there is probably no one else here besides the gods. So I concluded that he was sent by the Buddha.
