Section 7 Thoughtlessness
The next day, we officially set off for Huangfengling.
Just as we were sitting under the tree resting, a gust of wind blew from nowhere. When I came back to my senses with Brother Monkey, I found that the master was gone, and Brother Monkey immediately realized that he had encountered a monster. Because we had heard about it before we came here, but I didn't expect the monster to come so quickly, and my old pig immediately realized that he had encountered a monster, because in addition to the monster wanting to eat the master's meat, I really couldn't think of anyone else who had to catch the master. Those monsters often get together to discuss, saying that they can live forever by eating Tang monk's meat - these are of course told to me by Shunfeng Ear and clairvoyance; Although I used to be an official in the Heavenly Court, I was still very concerned about the suffering of the people, especially those sisters and younger sisters, and sometimes I wanted to fly down and suffer for them; Of course, this is impossible, and there are rules in heaven as on earth, so most of the time I can only think about it. For example, the monster is talking about eating Tang monk meat, I have heard Shunfeng say it many times, I don't know if it's true, anyway, when I was a marshal, I did hear many people say this, including the immortals.
Sometimes I really can't figure out how to think about it—just like now, I'm sitting under the Bodhi tree—the master obviously has no power to tie the chicken, so why does the Buddha want him to go to the west to learn scriptures? Say, wouldn't it be easier for me to go with my senior brother or junior brother than with the current team?
I knew I couldn't do it, I couldn't stand the seduction of those sisters or sisters, so I had to stop going. From a historical point of view, if the master does not learn from the scriptures, then the descendant Wu Chengen will not have to spend so much time and energy to write our travelogue. It's no wonder that some people in modern times say that we are a blind toss: three heavenly generals with extraordinary martial arts will take care of a weak monk.
Okay, I'm just panicking and complaining, and the master still has to save me. I can't disappoint Sister Bodhisattva's kindness to me! Besides, I finally found my current job, and with the lessons of the past, I don't want to be unemployed again. Sister Bodhisattva once explained to me in private that as long as I accompany my master and his old man to learn the scriptures, I can turn back into human form; That's my greatest wish.
I went with Brother Monkey to find the master, and I heard from the people in the mountains that the monster who caught the master was called the Yellow Wind Demon, which was very powerful, and often haunted and hurt people around here; He also said that he hadn't seen them much recently. Demon, I was hungry for the past few days, and my stomach turned out to be trying to eat my master.
I really can't stand it, even if you eat my master, so many of you can't divide it evenly!
I asked Brother Monkey to get an idea and see how to find a way. The master has instructed me to listen to my brother whenever he is away, but according to my observation, except for the master who was captured by the monster, basically the master is there; In other words, this sentence was specially prepared by the master for him after he was captured by the monster. Come to think of it, in fact, most of the time what most people say doesn't seem superfluous - analyze it after the fact. However, the almost useless words that Master had told me at the beginning have come in handy now, and it seems that nothing has its use in the dark, maybe it is a matter of time.
To get back to the point, don't say that the master ordered me, even if his old man didn't tell me, I would still listen to Brother Monkey, because I was too lazy to think about those messy things, I always felt that there was nothing bad about a simple life, and sometimes it could even show many benefits; You know the ants, don't look at the ants who are usually busy with their feet on the ground, in fact, in the end, they enjoy very little food for themselves, which means that most of their time has been wasted, and they are doing something that has nothing to do with them; Let's look at me again, don't you live a good life?
Of course, simple life does not include simplicity of mind, living animals should always think about problems, but there is a difference between deep and shallow; For example, I'm lazy, but I'm still thinking about problems.
