Seeing that Tang Sanzang couldn't control Hu Rong, he turned into an old woman and sent a mantra, so she continued:

"I have this collar and a hat with gold inlays, which my son used. He only served as a monk for three days, and unfortunately died in a short life.

I just went to his temple, cried, quit his master, and brought these two clothes and hats as a memory. Elder, since you have an apprentice, I will give you this cloak and hat. ”

Although Tang Sanzang didn't want to pay attention to it, he had to reply: "Inheriting the gift of my mother, it's just that my apprentice is thin and small, and I'm afraid that the clothes won't fit well, so I don't dare to accept it." ”

The old woman sneered, and said in her heart, Is Tang Sanzang too much to protect his apprentice? But he still said: "It's okay, my son is also thin, maybe this is fate?" ”

Tang Sanzang had to accept the coat and hat and thank the old woman. The old woman looked around and asked, "I wonder where your apprentice has gone?" ”

Tang Sanzang put down his coat and hat, and then replied: "I heard a breath, he went back to the east." ”

The old woman said, "Not far to the east, is my house, and I must have gone to my house." I also have a mantra there, called the mantra of centering, also known as the mantra of making a tight hoop.

You can secretly read it, keep it in mind, and don't reveal that anyone knows. I will go and catch him up, and make him come back with you, and you will put this cloak with him.

If he refuses to obey you, then you recite this mantra silently, and he will not dare to resist or run away again. ”

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he felt strange in his heart, but for some reason, he still heard the spell clearly, and he was already familiar with it after only one time, so he bowed his head and thanked the old woman in desperation.

But when he raised his head, he saw that there were still any old women, only Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was sitting on the lotus platform, was looking at him with a smile and a groan, and then turned into a golden light and flew away.

Tang Sanzang knew that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave this mantra, and hurriedly picked up the soil and burned incense, looking to the east and praying sincerely. After saying goodbye, he took away his coat and hat, and hid himself in the middle of his baggage.

Although he didn't understand why Guanyin Bodhisattva wanted to let himself control such a docile disciple, Tang Sanzang still obeyed the arrangement and sat in the circle and recited the mantra of centering. I read it back and forth a few times, and I read it well, and I kept my mind in mind.

At this time, the sky only heard a whistle, and a colorful auspicious cloud came from far and near, but it was the Hu Rong who got the water beads from the West Sea.

Because his somersault cloud has been transformed by the green light in his body, the speed has also doubled by a somersault of 108,000 miles, and the appearance is also a colorful auspicious cloud wrapped in Hu Rong, vaguely similar to the rainbow transformation technique of the desolate land pressure.

Hu Rong jumped off the auspicious clouds, holding a bowl in one hand and a bag of buns in the other, and a pomegranate branch and leaf on his shoulder, which was decorated with large red pomegranates that were full of cracks.

"Master, the disciple saw that you were homesick, so he went back to Chang'an and picked some ripe pomegranates for you to taste." , Hu Rong's nonsense came casually, and he was not afraid of flashing his tongue at all.

"Wukong ......", Tang Sanzang was moved by his filial apprentice and was speechless, recalling the scene where he blamed his apprentice in his heart just now, he felt guilty in his heart, so he stood up and took Hu Rong's hand and said: "Wukong, it's really a blessing for the teacher to accept you as an apprentice!" ”

"Master's words are serious, Master rescued the apprentice from the Five Elements Mountain, this is the grace of regeneration, the apprentice should snuggle up to the master and serve the master!"

Hu Rong's sour words also came casually, anyway, in the future, there will be Bajie, the dead fat man, is also this routine, so Bajie can't say it?

Tang Sanzang was moved by this dead monkey, and became more and more dissatisfied with Guanyin Bodhisattva's approach, because he realized that Buddhism pays attention to the main thing about crossing people, and the means are supplemented-

My apprentice is so well-behaved, obviously he has received a word from my Buddha, so how can he use such a bad method as a hoop?!

Hu Rong handed over the rice to Tang Sanzang, then picked the pomegranates one by one, and left two to make Tang Sanzang's after-dinner fruits, then took the remaining pomegranates and prepared to stuff them into the baggage, and suddenly saw two sets of shining clothes and hats, and immediately knew that when he was not there, Sister Guanyin came to Tang Sanzang to send a tight spell.

Hu Rong glanced at Tang Sanzang and saw that he didn't pay attention to this side, so he made a heart, first put the cotton cloth straight inside, and then pulled out a hairless hair and turned it into a brocade hat, replacing the real tight hoop.

Then pretended not to see this glamorous hat, stuffed the pomegranate into the baggage, sat on the stone on the side, and cut the pomegranate for Tang Sanzang to eat.

After Tang Sanzang finished eating the buns, he saw that his apprentice was cutting pomegranates for himself, and he felt even more embarrassed about the thoughts he had before, which naturally led him to leave the tight hoops explained by Guanyin behind.

In this way, after having lunch, the master and apprentice continued to walk forward, and in the evening they met a family surnamed Chen, and the same surname as Tang San's Tibetan family, so the master graciously invited the master and apprentice to stay for one night, and continued to hurry the next morning.

The master and apprentice chatted while talking, and the scenery became more and more deep and quiet along the way, only to see the frost withered red leaves, thousands of thin forests, and a few pines and cypresses on the ridge.

Unopened plum is fragrant, warm and short days, small spring, chrysanthemum remnants and lotus are full of camellia. The ancient trees of the cold bridge compete for branches, and the winding stream trickles and the spring water slips. Light clouds and snow are floating all over the sky, the wind is sudden, and the sleeves are pulled, how can people suffer from the evening cold?

But the good times didn't last long, Tang Sanzang and Hu Rong didn't walk a few steps, and suddenly saw a whistle on the side of the road, and six people broke out, each holding a spear and a short sword, a sharp blade and a strong bow, and said with a loud bang:

"That monk, go there! Leave your horses early, drop your luggage, and spare your life! ”

This sudden shout startled Tang Sanzang, but since he knew his apprentice's ability, he became more and more bold, so he sat down calmly on the horse and said to Hu Rong: "Wukong, remember my Buddhist precepts, and don't hurt people's lives." ”

"Yes, Master." , Hu Rong responded, stood in front of the white horse and pointed at the six big men and shouted: "Things that don't have long eyes, even your grandfather dares to rob and look for death!" ”

After speaking, without waiting for the robber to answer, Hu Rong had already rushed over, just a little punch and kick to knock them to the ground, because Hu Rong didn't want to destroy his impression in Tang Sanzang now, so he didn't make a ruthless move, just knocked a few people unconscious.

Despite this, Tang Sanzang, who didn't know why, asked "Ahh Even if you have the means, you can only retreat from him, why are they all killed? ”

Hu Rong brought the white horse closer and said: "Master, don't be in a hurry to get angry, the disciples strictly abide by the precepts of my Buddhism, just now I just knocked these robbers unconscious, I don't believe you take a closer look." ”

Tang Sanzang got off his horse and looked at the robbers on the ground, and saw that their chests were undulating, so he knew that he was wrong to blame the apprentice again, so he pronounced a Buddha name, and then said to Hu Rong:

"Wukong, when the teacher accepted you as a disciple, he was afraid that you would kill Wuji by force, but now it seems that you have already won the spirit of compassion of my Buddha! Amitabha! ”

Hu Rong said with a smile: "Don't hide it from the master, five hundred years ago, according to Huaguo Mountain, when the king was called a monster, he would not easily bully the weak, and he would have to turn back three times when he walked, lest he hurt the lives of the ants on the ground." ”

"Amitabha!" , Tang Sanzang nodded and said: "Wukong, you really have a relationship with my Buddha, and before you enter my Shamen, you already know that you cherish life and don't kill, you are good, you are good!" ”

Hu Rong also modestly said that he was also doing good, which made Tang Sanzang feel that the master-apprentice relationship between them was getting deeper and deeper, so he no longer paid attention to the robbers, got on the horse and continued to move forward, and gradually disappeared into this forest with Hu Rong......

But after all, these six people are all murderous robbers, how can Hu Rong forgive them like this? So at the moment when Tang Sanzang's figure disappeared, the hairy Wukong, who had already been hidden on the side, raised his hand and killed the six robbers one by one, and then walked away......
