Chapter 189: The Price
"Master is above, bow to the apprentice!"
In front of Tang Seng, a man dressed in silk and satin knelt down and kowtowed respectfully.
A hint of confusion flashed on Tang Seng's face, but it was a man who was talking and laughing with King Tang, and quickly recovered his indifference: "Get up." ”
"Yes, Master!" The man stood up and smiled.
This person is about two meters tall, tall, rich, fair-skinned, with a little beard, and the image of a middle-aged rich man in standard film and television dramas.
Usually appears as the protagonist's dad or the protagonist's friend's daddy.
And the identity of the person in front of him is Zhu Ganglie, the owner of Gaojiazhuang.
Change a name that everyone is more familiar with, Zhu Bajie.
After the incident in the Guanyin Monastery, Yang Que and Tang Seng continued to travel west, and the position of the pages of the mountains and seas did not change, indicating that there were pages in the west.
After a period of journey, Yang Que and Tang Seng came to the legendary Gao Laozhuang.
This is a place name, not a Zhuangzi.
Of course, there is indeed a Gao family in Gao Laozhuang, and he is a big landlord in Gao Laozhuang, the kind that is very rich.
Zhu Bajie got married and had children here, living a peaceful life.
There is no incident in the original book that the original form of the pig demon was discovered, and Zhu Bajie lives very well here.
Zhu Bajie's family is happy, with two daughters under his knees, although he is the identity of the family, but he is currently the owner of Gaojiazhuang, which can be described as a successful example of "less struggle for 20 years".
When Yang Que and Tang Seng came to visit Gaojiazhuang, indicating that they were monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to learn scriptures and the law name "Xuanzang", Zhu Bajie immediately appeared, and without saying a word, he bowed his head.
Yang Que did not tempt, and Tang Seng did not release the aura of a king.
Some people bow their heads and bow down, which is very unexpected.
"Master, Guanyin Bodhisattva asked me to wait for you here and protect you to go to the West Heaven to learn scriptures." Zhu Bajie looked at Tang Seng and said.
Tang Seng nodded slowly.
Guanyin did tell him that on the way west, there would be three disciples to protect him.
The eldest disciple Sun Wukong, the second disciple is the one in front of him.
Compared with Sun Wukong, who was crushed under the mountain, this second disciple has a happy life.
To ask him to suddenly abandon everything, take refuge in my Buddha, and then go to the west with himself to learn scriptures, in all fairness, Tang Seng felt that it was a bit too much.
Others are living well, what are you doing when you let him leave everything and go to the west to learn from the scriptures?
Why did Tang Seng learn scriptures from the west, in order to educate sentient beings.
The teachings here are not for everyone to take refuge in my Buddha, that is the way of the devil.
Tang Seng is essentially a very kind person, he hopes to obtain the true scriptures, spread them, so that everyone can live a better life, do not have to take refuge in my Buddha, just believe in my Buddha.
To put it simply, if Zhu Bajie in front of him is a devout pilgrim, he is willing to help Tang Seng go west through various methods.
Tang Seng thinks it's okay.
But he left everything to learn from the west by himself, Tang Seng felt that it was not good, or it was not very good.
People have reached the state that Tang Seng wants to see, life.
And now you want him to leave everything behind?
Tang Seng can sacrifice himself, but he does not ask others to sacrifice.
"Master?" Seeing Tang Seng silent, Zhu Bajie spoke up.
"Oh." Tang Seng came back to his senses and said in a deep voice, "Apprentice, for the sake of the teacher, you have a happy life, are you really ready to abandon all this and go to the west to learn scriptures with the teacher?" ”
"Yes, Master! This is the arrangement of Guanyin Bodhisattva! I do! Zhu Bajie's voice was firm and categorical.
"You really think about it, this trip to the west, all the way is difficult and dangerous, and there will be monsters to stop you. And you may be able to say goodbye to your family. Tang Seng decided to make the stakes clear, "You can think about it." It doesn't matter if you don't want to go, on the Bodhisattva's side, it's up to me to explain. ”
There is a big disciple Sun Wukong, in fact, it feels enough.
"No need, Master! Ever since the Bodhisattva told me about this, I have been waiting for you every day and every night! Zhu Bajie's tone was calm and firm.
It's not like a hairy boy who gets excited when he is provoked.
It looks like it's really well thought out.
"Okay." The other party is bent on converting, of course Tang Seng can't stop it to the end, he is also very happy to have a disciple who looks so reliable, "Come, this is your senior brother, Sun Wukong." ”
began to introduce Yang Que to Zhu Bajie.
"Big brother!" Zhu Bajie walked over and hugged his fists.
"Senior brother." Yang Que glanced at Zhu Bajie and smiled lightly, making it impossible to see any emotion from his expression.
After getting to know Yang Que formally, Zhu Bajie returned to Tang Seng: "Master, then let's go now, right?" ”
Tang Seng showed a puzzled expression, "Now? ”
"That's right, disciple, I can't wait."
"But don't you need to prepare and say goodbye to your family?"
"It's all ready." Zhu Bajie said, reached out and grabbed the coat on his body, and tore it hard, and the outer clothes were torn.
He was wearing an earthy yellow monk's robe, not a wide type, but a close-fitting short fight, similar to that worn by a warrior monk.
Tang Seng was dumbfounded.
This apprentice is also too active, and he didn't even give him a Dharma name.
"As a monk, you have to shave your ordination...... There is also the Dharma name ......" Tang Seng's tone was a little dry.
Because when it came to shaving, Zhu Bajie took off his hat and directly revealed his bald head.
Again, a process is omitted.
"Please also ask Master to give me the Dharma name!" Zhu Bajie said.
"Your senior brother's Dharma name is Wukong, and your Dharma name is 'Wu Neng'." Tang Seng didn't think much about it.
Or maybe it's been thought about for a long time.
The big disciple law number is already there, Wukong, and then according to the big disciple law number.
For Tang Seng, it is a very simple matter.
"Thank you Master for giving you the Dharma name, Master, let's go! It's been a long journey to the west, and we don't have time to delay here. Zhu Bajie said.
"Are you really not saying goodbye to your family?"
"Master, I'm already a monk." Zhu Bajie said.
"......" Tang Seng stood up and was about to say something.
Here, Zhu Bajie stretched out his hand and grabbed Tang Seng's shoulder directly: "Master, let's go." ”
At this moment, the ground seemed to tremble, and the entire main hall suddenly dimmed.
Outside the gate, a figure appeared, almost blocking the doorway.
Three Roshan appeared outside the door.
"Zhu Ganglie, you want to go!" A deep, high-pitched and piercing voice sounded, like the roar of a Buddhist lion.
"Master! Let's go! ”
Zhu Bajie picked up Tang Seng, who had a dull face, directly smashed the window next to him, and rushed out.
"Give me back! You gave birth to me and our Gao family, and died as a ghost of our Gao family! Stop him! ”
"Yes!"
With a burst of sound, a group of domestic servants and martial arts masters jumped up and chased after Zhu Bajie with light skills.
Then, the gazes of the three figures fell on Yang Que in unison.
Among them, that is Roshan, who gave the order just now, looked at Yang Que and said, "You are good-looking, and you are qualified to be my eighth prime minister of Gao Cuilan!" ”
"Mother, let me this!"
"Yes, mother, we are also at the age of marrying our father-in-law."
"Shut up! The two little rabbit cubs didn't have any hair, and they dared to rob the man with the old lady? ”
Yang Que instantly understood why Zhu Bajie couldn't wait to escape.
Twenty years of struggle is really a price.
