Chapter 40: Journey to the West (3)

When Tang Xuanzang heard what I said, he sighed. Then he said: "Wang Jushi, after hearing your words, how do I feel that I am so useless!" Look at you, Wang Jushi, you have trekked through mountains and rivers along the way, and I don't see you looking tired, I really envy me!

I said, "We cultivators are like this." Wading through mountains and rivers is really not a problem. Master Xuanzang, don't you have a horse, let it be easier for you to travel. You are a Buddhist Zen sect, and you can't compare with the martial arts!

Tang Xuanzang said: Hey! At the beginning of my life, I wanted to practice both Zen and martial arts. But my master told me that I can't give up my roots. Zen is the foundation, martial arts is the end, and when Zen Buddhism is small, you can strengthen your body. I am now Zen before Xiaocheng, but I don't know why, I just can't strengthen my body. This time I went west to learn the scriptures, and I was also playing the drum in my heart, whether I could go to the West Tianda Leiyin Temple!

I said in my heart: It's strange that Buddhism can ask you to practice martial arts, Tang Xuanzang, when will you be able to recover the memory of your previous life, you will know why all this is. Teach you something about your practice? Hum! You can order the Buddhist scriptures. If you are told to do something else, Buddhism is really finding sin for yourself.

I said: Master Xuanzang, everyone has their own way. If you go west, it may be Buddhism that makes you healthy! This way of practicing is much better than practicing in monasteries. While hurrying, while forging your body, it is also good for your Xuanzang Sutra.

Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi, don't joke with poor monks. I know very well how capable I am. I've come so far that I've encountered so many things. If there was no Wang Jushi, my life would have been confessed.

I said: Master Xuanzang, Jiren has his own natural appearance. I just did my part, mainly Master Xuanzang. It's not early, master, hurry up and rest, I have to hurry tomorrow.

Tang Xuanzang didn't speak, turned around and went to sleep. Nothing was said for the night, and the next day we were on our way. I don't know what's going on today, but as soon as I entered the mountains, there was lightning, thunder, and storms. I saw Tang Seng struggling to move forward, and he was blown away by the wind and rain several times. I walked forward to the mountain, holding the horse with one hand and Tang Xuanzang with the other, and walked through this hill little by little. By the time we had walked through it, the hill had become rainy and clear.

Tang Xuanzang said: This is really, straining his mind and starving his body! Even the heavens have to live with me, and there are fewer days of being blown by the wind and rained along the way! Can't you make me comfortable for a few days, this dress is dry, wet. I can't take it anymore!

I said: Master Xuanzang, how can you see a rainbow if you don't experience wind and rain! In fact, if you put on your robe or something, you will not be afraid of the wind and the sun.

Tang Xuanzang said: How can it be done! It was our monk's dress, and we wouldn't wear it until there was a major event.

I said: Okay then! If you don't want to wear it, don't wear it. Let's go and keep going!

Tang Xuanzang continued to hurry with me when he came to a place with high mountains and dense forests. A colorful tiger jumped down from the mountain and fell to the ground with a tiger roar. Tang Xuanzang's white horse must be an ordinary horse, and he ran away by himself when he was frightened. I looked at this tiger, purely to scare Tang Xuanzang. This was followed by a shout: Phew! Evil animals, Hugh hurts! Look at the fork!

This tiger is very good at cooperating, dodging the fatal place of the iron fork, directly let out an unwilling tiger roar, and fell to the ground and pretended to be dead. If this tiger is deceived, Tang Seng will be fine. But that fooled me, and I didn't pay attention to the tiger.

This Orion came over and kicked the tiger. Then he said to Tang Xuanzang: Elder, this evil animal didn't hurt you, did it?

Tang Xuanzang said: Thank you for the rescue, the poor monk is really grateful. The poor monk is just frightened, and he does not get in the way of not being loved.

Orion said, "Since the elders are all right, I am relieved." It was getting late, and if the elders didn't dislike it, they would go to the house and rest for the night. Hurry up early tomorrow morning, right?

As soon as Tang Xuanzang heard that there was a house to live in, he immediately felt happy in his heart, and hurriedly said: The poor monk has disturbed the strong man, so let's go down to the house today and rest for the night!

I was speechless and looked at Tang Seng. Then he led the horse, followed behind Tang Xuanzang and Orion, and arrived at Orion's house. Orion threw the tiger into the backyard. And then the tiger ran away on its own.

Orion said, "Elder, please take care of yourself." I went to prepare the meal and entertain the elders.

Tang Xuanzang said: Thank you for the strong man, the strong man, you can go and get busy.

After Orion left, Tang Xuanzang went to the well to fetch water, and the county took a bath happily. Not to mention, this person loves cleanliness and is not even afraid of cold water. Not to mention, these days, Tang Xuanzang's little white face has never been tanned, I am really convinced! After washing, Tang Xuanzang recovered, a white and tender little monk. Tang Xuanzang used well water to wash the clothes that had not been washed for many days, and then dried them in the yard.

After Orion had finished making dinner, he came to call us to eat. Tang Xuanzang and I followed Orion to the room dedicated to eating, and Orion had already put the food in order. Orion said: Elder, coarse tea and light rice, I hope you don't mind.

Tang Xuanzang said: Donor, this is very good. Amitabha!

In this way, the three of us finished eating quietly. Orion arranged for me and Tang Xuanzang to rest in the inner room. Before the break, Orion came to the house and struck up a conversation with us.

Orion said, "I don't know where the elder came from, why did he pass by here?"

Tang Xuanzang said: The poor monk is a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the eastern soil, and he was ordered by the Tang King to go to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures.

Orion said: It turned out to be a Tang monk! This is disrespectful and disrespectful! I don't know who this is?

Tang Xuanzang said: This is the guard sent by the Tang King, used to protect me all the way west.

Orion said: Look at you white and tender, I didn't expect you to be a practitioner, it's really disrespectful!

I said: Where, where! Brother Orion, don't be so polite!

In this way, Orion pretended to be and asked Tang Xuanzang about the Buddhist scriptures. Then I went to sleep. In the middle of the night Orion came to the door, and I got up and walked outside.

Orion said: "The little god greets the marshal!"

I said: You acted fakely enough, fortunately Tang Xuanzang is a mortal, otherwise how can you fool him?

Orion said: Please forgive the marshal! I was also driven to the shelves, but fortunately, the marshal cooperated well, so that the little god would not be exposed.

I said, "Okay!" Even if you pass this level, be your mountain god. This merit is enough for you to be at ease, and if you don't get promoted, you will be promoted!

Orion said: Thank you for your good words, and the lower officials will not bother your lords.

I returned to the house and saw that Tang Seng was still resting. At this stage, Tang Seng's body has reached its limit. I sat on Tang Seng's bed and began to massage Tang Seng, otherwise I don't know if he can continue to walk tomorrow. It's going to die, but you can't run away from a serious illness. What a sin!
