Chapter 41: Journey to the West (4)
The next morning, the birds in the mountains began their day's work. All kinds of birdsong resounded through the mountains and forests, if this was put on the earth, it would definitely be heaven! Tang Xuanzang slowly woke up and saw that I was not sleeping, and I was no longer in the bed. So Tang Xuanzang, after getting up, went out of the house and came to the well to fetch water to wash his face.
I came to Tang Xuanzang and said, "Master, it's time for breakfast." Eat more breakfast today, we have to hurry, we have to eat less and have no strength to walk.
Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi, what about the strong man? Isn't he at home?
I said, "That strong man, for his own livelihood." I've already gone into the mountains to hunt, otherwise what would I do!
Tang Xuanzang said: Hey! The world is really miserable for the sake of life! Wang Jushi, do you still have any money?
I said: Master Xuanzang, I'm done early. Wait for the master to say that you can't touch that strong man.
Tang Xuanzang said: Wang Jushi is still thoughtful, let's go to breakfast, and after breakfast, we will go on the road.
Tang Xuanzang and I finished breakfast. continued to embark on the road of learning from the scriptures, and after walking for a while, he was finally about to leave the realm of Datang. is about to leave his homeland, Tang Xuanzang's reluctant expression can see his current mood. Tang Xuanzang took out a piece of cloth, grabbed a handful of loess and wrapped it, and then put it in his bag. Then Tang Xuanzang knelt down and kowtowed three times in the direction of his homeland, Tang Chang'an.
I didn't say anything, and when Tang Xuanzang got up, he embarked on the road to learn the scriptures. On this day, I didn't say anything all the way, and I arrived at the place where the elder brother was suppressed in the original book. Tang Xuanzang and I, walking and walking, heard help! Help me! Help, master!
Tang Xuanzang's kindness was overflowing, and he asked me: Wang Jushi, where is someone calling for help?
I said, "It's not far ahead, let's go ahead and we'll see it."
Tang Xuanzang and I continued to walk forward and came to a huge mountain rock. I looked at Wukong, who was being pressed under the stones, pretending to howl!
Tang Xuanzang saw Wukong's fluffy appearance, and immediately pulled me tight and trembled and said: Monster, monster!
I said: Master Xuanzang, don't be afraid, this is not a monster. It's just that he looks a little scary, but he is an authentic immortal method of cultivation. The Terran exercises I practice, at the very least, can sense whether he is a monster or not, and whether he has a demonic energy. But this monkey has no demonic aura, only a pure fairy aura.
Tang Xuanzang said: Oh! Even if he cultivates the Immortal Method, this appearance is too scary.
I said: Master Xuanzang, we finally met, let's have a good fate to save him!
Tang Xuanzang said: That's good! Let's save him, and we'll leave after saving him.
I said: Okay!
Tang Xuanzang and I walked in front of Wukong.
Wukong said: Master! Help me! I'm your apprentice!
Tang Xuanzang said: Ah! Are you my apprentice? When did I take you, how do I not know? Don't fool me!
Wukong said: Master! It's Guanyin Bodhisattva, let me guarantee that you go to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures.
At this time, Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared. Guanyin said: Xuanzang, this is what I arranged for you to protect you from going west to learn scriptures. This mortal can no longer protect you.
Tang Xuanzang said: Amitabha! Disciple to meet, Guanyin Bodhisattva. Since there is a bodhisattva who comes forward, then I am relieved! It's just a disciple, how can I save it? Such a big stone, with the disciple and this guard, can't it be moved?
Guanyin Bodhisattva said: Xuanzang! As long as you are sincere, this stubborn stone will open! The poor monk went!
Tang Xuanzang said: Congratulations to the Bodhisattva!
Wukong said: Master, help me! The bodhisattvas have come out to testify, so show compassion.
Tang Xuanzang said: My heart is sincere enough, but I still can't move this stone?
Wukong said: Master! If you go and recite the scriptures, I guess reciting the scriptures will save me.
Tang Xuanzang said: What scripture do I read? I don't know, which book can save you?
Wukong said: Read it casually! Master, if you can't read one more.
Tang Xuanzang had no choice but to recite the Diamond Sutra. Not to mention reciting the Diamond Sutra, the stone was moved away little by little. This time, Wukong came out, but it was not as shocking as in the original book. He just arched the stone to one side, and it was considered to be out.
Tang Xuanzang saw a fluffy Wukong, he was very tired and scared. But Tang Xuanzang still took out his own, and put on a set of monk's clothes for Wukong first. But who knows, Wu Kong is a little small wearing this monk's robe. There is no way Tang Xuanzang, he asked me for a dress, and the clothes of ordinary people were changed into Wukong.
Looking at Wukong who was wearing clothes, Tang Xuanzang was not so afraid of Wukong. Tang Xuanzang said: Wukong, how about I give you a law name?
Wu Kong pretended to be surprised on the surface and said: Okay! All right!
Tang Xuanzang said: I think you look like a head, then you are called a walker!
Wukong said: Thank you, Master, I like the Dharma name given to me very much.
In this way, the three of us continued on the road. Wukong is still the same as in the original book, very naughty. But Tang Xuanzang thinks that this is naïve and straightforward, not pretentious. Wukong knows what he can and can't do. Although he didn't communicate with me, he was much more well-behaved than in the original book. It's all in the Tianhe Water Army, grinding down the temperament.
It was getting dark and we came to the foot of the mountain. Seeing that there was a courtyard here, Tang Xuanzang said to me: Wang Jushi, you should come to this door!
I said, "Okay, Master Xuanzang, I'll leave this matter to me."
I came to the gate and shouted, "Is there anyone at home?" We are passing, can we spend the night?
The door opened, and an old man and a child stepped out of the house to greet us.
When the old man saw me, he felt a sense of kindness. The old man said, "Please inside!" Don't say stay overnight, even if you stay for a long time!
Wukong ran over and said to the old man: Thank you, old man! Then he ran into the yard.
The old man came back to his senses, pointed to Sun Wukong and said: Monster! You youkai, get out of my house quickly!
Tang Xuanzang came up and said: Amitabha! Old man, this is the great apprentice of the poor monk. You see him looking like this, but he has good eyes!
The old man saw a Buddhist monk and came to intercede with Wukong. Although his heart is a little hairy, no one is afraid, he is still afraid. So I invited all the guests to the courtyard and arranged accommodation. The old man looked embarrassed at this time.
I said, "What's wrong with the old man?" Is there something that can't be solved?
The old man said, "Ah! You distinguished guests have come, but I don't have enough food to entertain them, I am!
I said, "Don't worry, old man!" We brought our own food, you don't have to worry about ours.
The old man said, "This! I'm so sorry, we can't entertain distinguished guests, how can this work!
Tang Xuanzang said: The elderly don't have to worry, we don't come to the door. We have come here for the night, and we have our own food. You don't have to worry about not going, old man!
