Chapter 42: Journey to the West (5)

Wu Kong carried a peach tree full of fruit and returned to the courtyard of the old man's house. Seeing this situation, Wukong said: Old man, your grandfather and grandson are not having an easy time. We can't bear to eat your rations again! You don't have to be embarrassed, we do it ourselves, your grandparents and grandchildren eat with us. Look at how big this peach is, eat it!

The old man said, "Little master, I see that you look ugly. can be born with a bodhisattva heart, and the little old man has thanked all the masters here.

I said, "You sit here and talk, and I'm going to cook." Master Wukong, don't forget to plant the peach tree in the yard after eating the peach.

Wukong said: Wang Guard, it turns out that you can see it! I'm going to plant this peach tree, so that this grandfather and grandson can also eat peaches. After speaking, Wukong planted the peach tree on one side of this courtyard. Then they plucked the peaches and put them all on the table in the yard.

I turned around and went to the stove to make a fire and cook. Wukong followed me to the stove room and said to me: Brother! We may have spoken!

I said, "Wukong will talk about it at night, it's not safe here." You go get some firewood, preferably enough for the elderly to use it for a while. Let's do what we can, there's no harm.

Wukong scratched his head and said: Brother! I got it, and I'm going!

Next to the table in the courtyard, sat the old man and Tang Xuanzang. The old man asked: I don't know where the master's treasure is located? And the name of the master, can you tell the little old man?

Tang Xuanzang said: Old man! The poor monk is a monk in the Jinshan Temple of the Tang Dynasty in the East Tu, and the name of the poor monk is called Tang Xuanzang.

The old man said, "Oops! O monk! Please be worshiped by the little old man!

Tang Xuanzang hurriedly picked up the old man and said: What are you worshipping me for? I am at the behest of His Majesty the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty to go to the West to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. It stands to reason that I still worship you, a living bodhisattva of your age!

The old man said, "Hehe! Master Xuanzang is really good at talking, so let's not worship.

Tang Xuanzang said: I don't know the father and mother of this child?

The old man said, "Ah! This world is evil! My son went out to the town to exchange food, and he was killed by a robber. After we got the news, I couldn't walk. It was up to my daughter-in-law to welcome back my son's body. But who knows, my daughter-in-law also encountered robbers, and she is gone! Now it's all left for our grandparents and grandchildren to depend on each other, and it's not okay for damn robbers to rob money, but it's really a human life! We reported to the government, but no one in the government took care of this matter, and there was no place for our revenge. Little Lao'er only hopes that my grandson will grow up quickly and learn a good skill to avenge his father and mother!

Tang Xuanzang said: Old man, don't be sad! Wait for the poor monks to chant sutras to surpass the souls of the dead, so that they can live in bliss! After speaking, Tang Xuanzang recited the scriptures, and the old man's tears couldn't stop flowing.

After 1 hour, Tang Xuanzang finished reciting the scriptures. I also came to the courtyard and said, "Come, it's time to eat!" I carried a large flat pot lid and brought my cooked rice. Although there is no meat, there are eggs or something, which is also called the old man's little grandson, and it is saliva to watch!

Tang Xuanzang saw that there were eggs, but he didn't say anything. He also summoned children to eat scrambled eggs with fungus. The child looked at his grandfather and did not dare to step forward. As soon as I took the child in my arms, I asked him to sit on my lap and start eating. This meal was very enjoyable, especially since the child may have eaten such a good meal for the first time since his parents were gone!

In the evening, we all went back to the house to rest, and Tang Xuanzang was tossing and turning, thinking about today's problems during the day. I really couldn't sleep, Tang Xuanzang came to me and said: Wang Jushi, I really can't think of anyone who can help me break down this problem.

I said, "Master Xuanzang, are you thinking about whether the robber should be killed?"

Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi guessed it! This question conflicts with my Buddhist teachings, and I really don't know what to do. What can Wang Jushi do?

I said: I have to find your eldest apprentice for this matter, your eldest apprentice is an immortal, he must know what to do. I'm adding, in fact, I talked to Master Xuanzang about this problem before I came out of the Tang Dynasty, and you can find a solution to this problem if you think about it according to that problem. You don't do killing in Buddhism, so I can take care of this problem for you.

Tang Xuanzang smiled bitterly and said: Wang Jushi, the solution to this problem is to kill one and save a group of people?

I said: Yes, Master Xuanzang, this group of robbers does all kinds of evil, and killing people and setting fires has long been a common thing! If Master Xuanzang does not remove this tumor, the number of believers in Buddhism will decrease. Because those who have an enmity with robbers can no longer be solved by ordinary methods. Isn't it a good deed to deal with this gang of robbers and save the neighbors, isn't it a merit?

Tang Xuanzang said: I just feel in my heart, and I can't pass this hurdle. It must be all life!

I said, "It doesn't matter if there is no life!" Like the old father-in-law's family, the hatred has reached the point of not ending. Master Xuanzang, can you resolve it? Even if you Master Xuanzang are reformed, this group of robbers who do all kinds of evil, who will restrain them when you leave? After being restrained, the things that broke out were still unlucky in the neighborhood. And you have resolved this grievance, but this hatred has entered the bone marrow, so it really can't be resolved.

Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi! You will be paid for this matter, and you must be an official. It's a matter of course, and I really can't think of a better way. Let's go, the unlucky ones are the child and the old man. These damn bandits, why don't they have a heart!

All three of us didn't sleep that night. The next morning, we came to the courtyard where I made breakfast last night and called everyone to eat. After eating, more than 20 robbers were killed in the distance.

The child was frightened, hugged his grandfather and said, "They're coming!" They're killing people! Grandpa, I'm afraid!

The old man hugged his grandson and said to him: Grandson, don't be afraid! With grandpa here, they won't dare to bully us!

When the leader of the robbers arrived, he stood outside the fence and shouted, "You old fellow, give me everything you can eat and drink!" If you don't, pay your grandson!

The old man said: Haha! You let these three guests go first, and I'll give you something!"

The leader of the robbers said: Hahaha! Ridiculous! Since you're here, don't go, this horse is good, and these three still have money on them. And these two are also ...... with fine skin and tender meat!

Immediately after that, the head of the robber leader was divided. I said, "Ladies and gentlemen, don't go away since you're here." You all have nothing to worry about anyway, die early and go to the 18th layer of hell to reflect!

The rest of the robbers, when they saw this, scattered and ran away. I caught up with it, and solved this great problem with one man and one sword. I pulled up a little minion and asked, "Where is your cottage?" How many people are still in it, and are there any tickets? I've figured it all out! Talking to me!
