The scripture-learning team Jindou Mountain was in difficulty, and the green bull with a mysterious origin held the vajra circle to show his might, and caused a sensation in the Three Realms under Sun Wukong's "fueling the fire", attracting the attention of the gods and Buddhas in the sky, including Yaochi, who has not interfered from beginning to end but has been paying close attention to this matter.

"The soldiers are invincible, and the water and fire are difficult to approach...... Except for Lao Jun's Vajra Zhuo, I can't think of any other magic weapon with such power. ”

In the Yaochi Palace, the Queen Mother in a golden crown and a Taoist girl wearing a five-flower brocade hat and a collared woven gold robe chatted about the matter and expressed her thoughts.

The Dao Gu smiled and said: "I'm afraid that Lao Jun doesn't want to take advantage of this robbery to raise the prestige of hating the sky." ”

The Queen Mother said: "You sing, we will appear, and we will learn from the scriptures, and it has always been like this." ”

The Dao Gu stopped answering and was distracted.

The Queen Mother glanced at her meaningfully, and asked casually, "How many years has it been since the Buddha Daoist participated in the Buddha's Longhua Meeting?"

That Dao Gu is the Bodhisattva Vilamba, hearing the queen mother's question, her expression remains unchanged, and she replied casually: "For some years, as a Buddhist person, I have been going to the Bon Festival every 500 years. ”

The queen mother knew that this old friend had a strange temperament, and many years ago the Buddhism was in turmoil, and she had a dislike for the Buddha, so she no longer asked deeply, and said with a smile: "If I hadn't sent the blue bird to invite me three times, I'm afraid that you wouldn't have come to this Yaochi." ”

The Bodhisattva did not deny it, and said: "Now that the study of scriptures is a major event in the Three Realms, all parties have participated in the planning, and there is no one outside the party who has the opportunity to participate in the grand event, and I don't want to miss it." ”

The Queen Mother smiled and nodded, and asked, "Then how does the Bodhisattva think we should set up this calamity?"

Vilamba Bodhisattva said, "Since Niangniang has already made up her mind, you don't need to ask me again, you say that I will do it." ”

The Queen Mother didn't care, and really said her plan: "As the saying goes, 'heroes are sad to pass the beauty pass', and there is a saying that 'since ancient times, only love is the most sorrowful'. ”

Vilamba Bodhisattva said: "I remember that Li Shan and Guanyin, Puxian, and Manjushri had done this before. ”

The queen mother waved her hand and said: "That's just a superficial taste, trying with ordinary beauty and Wanguan furniture, and not taking the Buddha in his eyes, even if the marshal Tianpeng is eighty percent perfunctory." ”

"In my mother's opinion, how should I set it up?"

The Queen Mother whispered to the Bodhisattva, and the Bodhisattva Vilamba bowed her head and said, "This plan is wonderful!"

The two of them agreed to return to the office for arrangement.

Soon, two long rainbows, one red and one black, were projected down from Yaochi and Ziyun Mountain respectively, and descended on the Western Liang Kingdom.

......

A canopy boat went down the river, and the monk who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east to the west to learn scriptures stood at the bow of the boat, looked into the distance, and asked after a while: "Disciples, where is the boundary ahead?"

Sun Wukong put his hand on his forehead, looked into the distance, and said: "There is a big city ahead, I think I have entered another country." ”

Tang Seng said: "I don't know which country I have been to." ”

Zhu Bajie continued: "It doesn't matter which country it is, as long as you have good wine and good food with us, and exchange customs clearance documents for the master." ”

Tang Seng said: "Speaking of wine and food, I am really a little thirsty for the teacher, Wukong, give me some water to drink." ”

Wukong took out the purple gold bowl and scooped a bowl of water in the river and handed it to Tang Seng, Tang Seng drank half of it, Bajie was going to drink it again, drank most of the rest, and asked Wukong and Sha Seng after drinking: "Brother Monkey, Senior Brother Sha, do you drink it?"

Wukong said: "Lao Sun can't drink water when he walks this way." ”

The sand monk also waved his hand and refused.

The boat went down the river, and after a while, Tang Seng and Bajie began to have stomach pain, and their stomachs gradually grew bigger.

The two of them were in pain and frightened, and they just screamed.

Tang Seng shouted: "Wukong save me!"

Zhu Bajie had a lot of words in his mouth, and he couldn't stop yelling, and Wukong remembered Guo Dalu's parting reminder: "Don't drink river water!"

I secretly screamed in my heart and was ashamed to quickly check the pulse of the master and brother, and this diagnosis was even more shocking, the master and brother were actually happy and pregnant.

"Congratulations Master, congratulations Bajie, you are not poisoned, but happy!" Wukong said.

When Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie heard this, they were both confused, and Bajie cried: "Brother Monkey, don't mess with me, if I am pregnant, how will I give birth?"

Wukong said: "Presumably, you can give birth from the armpit." ”

The sand monk on the side said: "Master, second senior brother, do you like sour and spicy now?"

Tang Seng said bitterly: "Wukong, Wujing, don't tease me and Bajie, think quickly and let me eliminate this fetus." ”

Bajie advised: "You should be careful not to move the fetus." ”

Wukong and Sha Seng couldn't help laughing again, Tang Seng said: "You idiot, don't talk nonsense!"

Wukong saw that the master was in pain, no longer joking, and looked around, and happened to see a thatched hut on the shore not far away, and an old woman was sitting in the open space in front of the house. ”

Moving the boat to the shore, Wukong and Sha Seng disembarked with Tang Seng and Bajie, Wukong greeted the mother-in-law and asked, "Dare to ask the female Bodhisattva, what is the boundary here, what kind of river is this river?"

The old woman said: "This is the boundary of Xiliang, because there is no man in the country, so it is also called 'daughter country'......"

The old woman pointed to the river and said, "This river is called the Zimu River." ”

"Mother and Son River?"

"That's right, Zimu River...... When a woman becomes an adult, she can conceive by drinking this water, and the fetus will be born in a moment, look at your two companions, think that they have drunk the river water and become pregnant. ”

Wukong said: "Exactly! Exactly! May I ask the female Bodhisattva, is there a solution to the conception of this river?"

The old woman said, "Yes, there is, but ......" She looked at Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, "But I don't know if you two want to use it." ”

Tang Seng and Bajie said in unison: "If you want to use it, please tell the female Bodhisattva quickly, and you will remember the great grace!"

The old woman looked at Tang Seng and said, "As a monk, can the master know the truth of the Buddha's love for all sentient beings?"

Tang Seng was bent on solving the method of pregnancy, nodded when he heard the words, and said: "When the female Bodhisattva has relieved the poor monk, the poor monk will discuss the Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles with the female Bodhisattva." ”

The old woman smiled slightly and said, "The master also obeys the Buddha's love for sentient beings, and the master should know that the fetus in your womb is also one of the sentient beings, and if you want to have a fetus, you will kill it." ”

Tang Seng was stunned when he heard this: "This ......"

Wukong stood quietly to the side, looking at the old woman silently.

Tang Seng groaned, and Bajie shouted repeatedly: "Ask the female Bodhisattva to fight for me, if I give birth to a pig today, I will never have the face to see people in the future." ”

The old woman nodded, got up, and said, "Wait a moment." As he spoke, he turned around and went into the house, and after a while he brought out a bowl of water, let Zhu Bajie drink it, and in the blink of an eye, Bajie's stomach disappeared, and he clapped his hands happily, and thanked the mother-in-law.

The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, brought the water to Tang Seng, and asked, "Then master, do you drink this water or not?"

Tang Seng was stunned again, looking up at the mother-in-law, his eyes trembled, and his expression was extremely complicated.

"In another moment, the fetus will be born, and the master will make a quick decision. ”

Tang Seng showed a painful look on his face, his right arm trembled and raised to pick up the mother-in-law's bowl, stretched out halfway, and could not continue, hanging in the air, hesitating.

Since entering the Buddhist sect to practice, this is undoubtedly the most difficult hurdle he has encountered.

Kill or live.

The mother-in-law's voice sounded in her ears again: "This tireborn water is like a butcher's knife, and the master can also pick up the butcher's knife to kill, and then put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the spot, so it is not against the Buddha's principles." ”

Tang Seng couldn't hear the sarcasm in these words, and beads of sweat oozed from his forehead.

The three apprentices were silent, waiting for the master to make a decision.

As fellow cultivators, they know that this is the most critical moment for the old monk, and once they make a wrong choice and leave a flaw in their hearts, not only will their practice in this life be in vain, but it may also affect their future practice.

Tang Seng raised his sleeves to wipe away the beads of sweat, exhaled softly, and asked, "If the poor monk chooses to give birth to a fetus, how can the female bodhisattva help me?"

The mother-in-law smiled, "It's also this bowl of water." ”

Tang Seng was puzzled.

The mother-in-law handed the bowl to Tang Seng, "Drink this bowl of water, and you will have your own results." ”

Tang Seng did as he said, drank the bowl of water, and suddenly began to have pain in his abdomen, opened his mouth and spit out, a thumb-sized golden cicada flew out of his mouth, the mother-in-law stretched out her hand, accepted the golden cicada, and said: "The old body has helped you break the biggest heart tribulation of cultivation so far, and this golden cicada will be regarded as a thank you gift." ”

Tang Seng's face was confused, and then Wukong pointed to his abdomen and said, "Master, look!"

Tang Seng looked down and found that his abdomen had returned to normal, so he hurriedly thanked the mother-in-law, who shook her head and waved her hand, and said: "Fifty miles ahead is Xiliang City, and the old body will not leave you." ”

The team said goodbye to the old woman and continued on their way, and when they were far away, the old woman and the grass hut were gone.

......

The back garden of the Xiliang Palace.

Her Royal Highness the graceful and noble Queen sat sideways at the stone table, with her left hand propped up, looking at the spring scenery in the garden in a daze.

I don't know what's going on these nights, I dream of the same song in a row, no matter the lyrics and songs, the song is lingering and compassionate, and it makes people's hearts move, especially when they dream back at midnight, it is even more instructive to teach people to turn their bowels and toss and turn, once they wake up, they can't help but lose their souls.

The song in the dream, the scene in the dream, and the people in the dream are all crystal clear, as if they had actually happened.

If she could really meet the "little brother of the holy monk" and could "follow him", she would not hesitate to give up the throne, but where was the holy monk?

Just when Her Majesty was secretly moved and sat alone in lovesickness, the female princess came to report: "Your Majesty, there are four people in the city, claiming to be monks who came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and want to go to the west to learn scriptures. ”

When the queen heard this, she got up suddenly, looked at the princess, and said, "The holy monk has arrived!"

Taishi let out a blank "um".

"Quickly pass them into the palace!" the queen suddenly lifted her spirits, and her expression was still a little excited.

The Taishi took the order and left.

......

Not long after, Her Majesty Queen Xiliang saw the little brother of the holy monk from Dongtu in the main hall, and when she saw the handsome, magnificent, and robed holy monk at a glance, she knew that from now on, her heart would no longer belong to herself.

That holy monk brother is even more perfect than in his dreams!

She looked at him infatuatedly, as if they had already been destined for three lives.

If it weren't for the courtier's reminder, she might have stared at him for a day and a night.

"Brother Yu, we met before, do you remember?" asked the queen in a soft voice.

When Tang Seng heard this, he looked up at the queen, but saw that she had a jade face and red lips, her skin was like mutton fat, a pair of phoenix eyes were like sparkling autumn waves, and her two bent eyebrows were like fragrant and elegant green feathers.

When Tang Seng saw it, he was taken aback, and thought to himself: "It's so strange, it's like I've seen it somewhere, how familiar it is!"

The two looked at each other in such a daze, the courtiers in the palace looked at each other, and the three Wukong brothers also looked at each other with a smile, and Bajie said: "This queen is so beautiful! ”

Wukong said: "Maybe she was a fairy and didn't know." ”

Tang Seng quickly came back to his senses, hurriedly apologized for his sins, made his intentions clear, and begged the queen to exchange Guan Wen with him.

The queen didn't answer, but said: "The holy monks and high-ranking disciples came from afar, and they were dusty, so they first gave a banquet to catch the wind and wash the dust for the holy monks." ”

As he spoke, he ordered the Taishi to prepare a banquet, but Tang Seng had already refused.

Wukong whispered: "It's bad, it's bad, the queen is afraid that she has taken a fancy to the master and wants to keep him as the queen!"

Sha Seng said: "Senior brother Hugh is talking nonsense, the master is a man, how to be a queen?"

Wukong said: "A woman can be a king, why can't a man be a queen?"

......

After a while, the palace banquet was ready, and the queen personally entertained the scripture-learning team, and invited Tang Seng to the side of the main seat, so that he could talk to him about the wine nearby.

After three rounds of wine and five flavors of food, the queen clapped her hands, and there were already court singers and dancers on the stage in an orderly manner, singing and dancing.

Mandarin ducks and amphibious butterflies fly in both directions

The garden is full of spring and is intoxicating

Quietly asked the holy monk

The daughter is not beautiful

......

What about royal power and wealth

What are the precepts and rules that you are afraid of?

I only wish that the world would last forever

Closely follow the person I want

......

After everyone listened, they still didn't know the queen's thoughts, but Tang Seng didn't dare to look at the queen again, and his face was already as red as the sunset.

Love, love, love, love

May this life always be with us

......

After singing the song, the queen had already burst into tears, grabbed Tang Seng, and said: "Brother Yu, you and I are destined for three lives, and today we finally see each other, how about matching a husband and wife, and sitting together in this Jinluan hall?"

Tang Seng was taken aback, and hurriedly said: "Absolutely not! The poor monk has the great responsibility of learning scriptures, how can he ......?"

The queen said, "I would like to take the wealth of a country and recruit you as a husband, and tomorrow I will ascend to the throne and become king, and I will be the king, and from now on I will share the glory and joy, and I will not be at ease than an ascetic journey to the west."

When the elder heard this, he was already trembling, intoxicated, and blindly shook his head.

Seeing this, the queen said, "Today, Brother Yu and a few high-ranking disciples will go down to rest, and then talk to Brother Brother Yu tomorrow." ”

Tang Seng asked again about the customs clearance, and the queen had already been surrounded and left.

The next day, the queen invited Elder Tang to visit the Imperial Garden, although she did not mention the matter of matching the couple, but she also did not mention the words of changing Guan Wen.

For several days in a row, the queen only invited Tang Seng to visit the garden and lake every day, as if she was a husband and wife.

On this day, the two of them traveled to the lake together and drank vegetarian wine together, the queen seemed to be drunk, and suddenly leaned against Tang Seng, whispered, and murmured: "Brother Yu, can we not go to learn the scriptures?"

Tang Seng beauty in the arms, warm fragrance in the nose, soft words in the ear, finally couldn't help but look at the queen's face, sure enough, it was the national color and heavenly fragrance, the heart moved, hurriedly turned his face, and began to recite the "Heart Sutra" silently.
