Chapter 549: Guanyin Zen Temple
Jian Mingyue's voice echoed in the mountain stream, and it was also amplified many times, and even the roar of the stream was suppressed. After hearing this www.biquge.info little white dragon hiding at the bottom of the stream hesitated for a long time before poking his head out, glancing at Jian Mingyue, and said, "Which one is the one who learns the scriptures?" How do I know if it's true or not? ”
Jian Mingyue said: "How do you want to distinguish the real from the fake?" Except for us, who will pretend to be a person who learns from the scriptures? ”
Xiao Bailong said: "Maybe you don't know where to hear the people who learned the scriptures only said that they tricked me into eating my meat." I heard what you just said. ”
Jian Mingyue was surprised: "Well, your ears are so good, you can hear this." If you don't believe me, then that's it, anyway, it's not impossible to learn from the scriptures without you, you can be a loach in your mountain stream, let's go. ”
The little white dragon hurriedly shouted, "Wait! That one...... Can you invite Avalokiteshvara to come and visit? The Bodhisattva has commanded me to wait here for the person who will take the scriptures, how can I not obey them? ”
Jian Mingyue smiled: "It's your business to obey or not, what does it have to do with me?" Old Tang, let's go. ”
After getting along for more than ten days, Jian Mingyue and Tang Sanzang are also familiar with each other, Tang Sanzang is no longer trembling like facing the gods, Jian Mingyue also feels that Tang Sanzang is still a good person in addition to being a little pedantic, so the name is also a lot more casual, directly called "Old Tang".
Tang Sanzang also saw that Jian Mingyue was deliberately teasing the little white dragon, so he immediately nodded in agreement, turned the horse and left, but couldn't help but ask in a low voice: "If he is really the helper that the Bodhisattva found for us, wouldn't it be a pity?" ”
Jian Mingyue said: "Don't worry, if he doesn't get close to us, he can only be escorted back to Heaven and go to the Dragon Stage." As long as he doesn't want to die, he must come to us. ”
Tang Sanzang said in surprise: "Why is this so? Even if he doesn't go with us to learn the scriptures, he won't sin to death, right? ”
Jian Mingyue said: "Let him explain the specific reason to you himself, he is here." ”
Tang Sanzang looked back and saw the little white dragon flying out of the mountain stream again. But this time he didn't dare to rush up, just hovered in the distance in mid-air.
The dragon has always been only in legends, and Tang Sanzang saw it for the first time, and found that this creature was indeed a natural king, but when he saw it from a distance, he had an urge to worship. Tang Sanzang didn't know, this was the so-called Long Wei. Fortunately, the little white dragon at this time looked very miserable, not only broke a horn, but also broke a few wounds on the head, chest and abdomen, and cowered and did not dare to approach, which made Long Wei greatly discounted.
Jian Mingyue gestured to Tang Sanzang with her eyes, Tang Sanzang understood, and said: "Little monk Tang Sanzang, on the order of the Tang Emperor of the Eastern Territory, went to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. Your Excellency claims to be waiting here for the little monk on the orders of the Bodhisattva, but I don't know what to say? ”
The little white dragon glanced at Tang Sanzang a few times, and found that he was really an ordinary person, a monk, and then he fell to the ground and became a heroic young man, Shi Li said: "The third prince of the Dragon King of the Lower West Sea, just because he inadvertently burned the pearl in the palace, was accused of disobedience by his father in front of the Jade Emperor, and was almost executed by the Jade Emperor. Fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva rescued me, so that I could wait here for the person who took the scriptures, and turned into a foot force to carry him west. ”
Tang Sanzang was stunned and said, "How can this be? Since you are the third prince of the Dragon King of the West Sea, how noble your status is, how can you act as the foot force of the little monk? ”
Jian Mingyue smiled: "What's not to do?" There is a horse that has been turned into a dragon, and you will be able to walk on the ground in the future. Look at the mountains in front of you, can you go up on your own? If you accidentally slip down, you may even fall and get hurt. It's different with the little white dragon, you just have to sit on the back of the horse. ”
Tang Sanzang was still hesitating, and Jian Mingyue said to Xiao Bailong: "If you still have doubts about our identity, I can show you our customs clearance documents, the treasures given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, this can always prove our identity, right?" ”
The little white dragon nodded again and again: "Okay, show me quickly!" ”
Jian Mingyue said helplessly: "You are really a dead eye." Well, here you go. If you dare not believe me like that, it seems that you are lacking in teaching. ”
After reading these evidences, Xiao Bailong really believed it, and hurriedly smiled: "I am young and shallow, and I have offended a lot, so I ask my seniors to forgive me." ”
Jian Mingyue said: "Don't talk nonsense, quickly turn into a horse, and hurry up and hit the road." ”
The little white dragon did not dare to disobey, so he had to turn into a white horse. Jian Mingyue unceremoniously let Tang Sanzang dismount, then transferred the saddle stirrup and other things to the little white dragon, and then let Tang Sanzang ride on. As for the original white horse, they continued to carry their luggage or something.
After winning the white dragon horse, you have to pass the eagle sorrow stream in front of you. The little white dragon has lived here for a long time, of course he knows the path, and took Tang Sanzang and Jian Mingyue to take a detour to the water's edge. I happened to see a fisherman, holding a dead wood raft down the river. Jian Mingyue raised her hand and shouted: "Old fisherman, come here to ferry people!" ”
The old fisherman hurriedly propped up the raft and helped Tang Sanzang to go first, followed by two horses and luggage. Thanks to the raft's size, it would not have been possible to cross two horses at once. After waiting for the Eagle Sorrowful Stream, Tang Sanzang still had to use the copper money of the Tang Dynasty to pay for the ferry, but the old fisherman hurriedly propped the raft on the shore and said, "No money, no money!" ”
Jian Mingyue said: "You don't need to give him money, he is the water god of this eagle and sorrowful stream, and he can cross the river between you and me, it is his blessing, so why do you need to give money?" ”
The two of them got back on the horse and headed west, Tang Sanzang rode on the white dragon horse, and suddenly felt that it was really different from ordinary horses, galloping up a lot faster, and more stable. It's just that what puzzled him was that Jian Mingyue was riding on the original horse, and her speed was not much slower than that of the little white dragon, which was really strange.
The two of them rode to the west of the sun, and suddenly there was a village on the side of the road, so they stayed here. I don't want this to be a people's house, but a land temple. It's just that this land temple is too big, and it looks like a manor. And the host is also very enthusiastic, not only entertaining the two to stay, Zhang Luo to eat, but also presented a set of horse harness, even the saddle with the bridle, plus the horse whip, it looks very high-end, and it is also very suitable for the white dragon horse.
No need to ask, these are all arranged. Sure enough, when the day dawned and set off, the host family identified himself, but it was the mountain god of Luojia Mountain, who came to give gifts on the order of Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Now that there is a matching harness for the white dragon horse, Jian Mingyue reinstalled the old harness on the original white horse, and it is more comfortable to ride it by herself.
After hitting the road again, the journey was much calmer, and for two months it was uneventful, at most some unfriendly foreigners, wolves, insects, tigers and leopards. These are all solved with just a snort from Jian Mingyue, and they are not even embarrassed. Until they came to a monastery.
Tang Sanzang, as a monk, saw that even if he didn't spend the night, he had to go in and worship and burn incense. What's more, it was getting late at this time, so I just borrowed it.
stepped forward and knocked on the door, Tang Sanzang said that he was from the Tang Dynasty, and the monks of this temple were immediately enthusiastic and hurriedly invited them in. This made Jian Mingyue pout, from the establishment of Datang to the present, it has only been more than ten years, and it has just settled down, and it is far from being a prosperous age. I don't know where these people have heard of Datang, any Tang person makes them so respectful.
After entering the temple, I saw four big characters on the plaque in the main hall, "Guanyin Zen Temple". This made Jian Mingyue wonder again, wasn't the name of the temple engraved on the mountain gate? How do you write it on the plaque in the main hall? But he didn't ask much, just stayed.
After settling down, the head of the temple heard about it and came to receive it himself. It's just that the owner of this old courtyard is old, and he needs two children to help him walk, but he is still wearing an extremely gorgeous robe, which is inlaid with opal, jade, pearl and other jewelry, and the clothes are edged with gold thread, and even the crutches are jeweled.
The old courtyard master exchanged a few words with Tang Sanzang, and then ordered the tea, and the tea set was also extremely luxurious, and even Tang Sanzang praised again and again: "Good object, good object!" It's a great food. ”
The old courtyard master said modestly: "Dirty eyes, dirty eyes!" The old man is a man of the Heavenly Empire, and he has a wide range of treasures, like such a utensil, how can he win the prize? The master is from Shangbang, but what treasure is there to borrow from his disciples? ”
Tang Sanzang said: "Poor, my eastern soil, there is no treasure. Even if there is, it is a long way away, and it cannot be carried. ”
Jian Mingyue was silently sipping tea beside her, letting Tang Sanzang play. When the old courtyard owner heard that Tang Sanzang was a poor man, his attitude immediately cooled a lot, and he left without saying a few words. Tang Sanzang didn't think it was angry, just shook his head and sighed, and went back to the room with Jian Mingyue to rest.
There were no outsiders present, so Jian Mingyue asked with a smile: "Old Tang, didn't you say that monks can't speak?" You have a treasure in your salute, why do you say there is none? The robes and staff that Guanyin Bodhisattva gave you are all gorgeous-looking treasures. ”
Tang Sanzang said with a smile: "You also said that it was given to me by Guanyin Bodhisattva, not from the Eastern Tang Dynasty." The old courtyard mainly looks at the treasures of the Tang Dynasty, and I really didn't bring any of them. So, I didn't say anything. ”
Jian Mingyue laughed and said, "You monk, you have learned to quibble." Well, there is progress. ”
Although Tang Sanzang said that he had no treasure, and Jian Mingyue did not expose him like Sun Wukong, the matter of Tang Sanzang's treasure was still leaked. Because the monks of the monastery were so enthusiastic, after entering the monastery, they were all helping to carry the luggage, and one of the monks accidentally saw a treasure light leaking out of the gap in the ceremony. Therefore, when the old courtyard owner returned to the meditation room and complained that the name of the monk of the Tang Dynasty did not match the real time, the monk who helped to carry the luggage exposed Tang Sanzang in order to invite merit.
After the old courtyard owner heard the news, he was very dissatisfied, Tang Sanzang looked down on him, and he didn't show him any treasures, it was really unbearable! So he visited Tang Sanzang again the next morning and asked to see his treasure.
