Under the repeated retention of the prince and the princess, Tang Seng decided to stay for half a month and take turns to preach in several temples in the city.

The people rushed to tell each other, and they all wanted to listen to the teachings of the holy monks with their own ears.

At the same time, there are also some people who are interested in oriental culture who come to see Gu Ming, hoping to communicate more.

This is exactly what Gu Ming couldn't ask for.

With the great assistance of the prince, several books and poetry collections written by Gu Ming, as well as some Confucian classics, will be printed and distributed in large quantities, so that the people of Yuhua Mansion will also have the opportunity to see the original oriental culture.

During this period, Gu Ming took in seven or eight disciples to teach him Confucian culture and his original Confucian cultivation method.

It stands to reason that Alia should also be apprenticed.

After all, she was the first to learn from Gu Ming's side, and she was talented and smart, and she learned quickly.

But the strange thing is that although she has always called Gu Ming Mr., she has never mentioned the matter of apprenticeship.

In this regard, Gu Ming also knew that he was bold.

From the hot eyes that Alia revealed from time to time, he had already vaguely guessed what was on the girl's mind.

However, Gu Ming couldn't accept it.

It's not that he doesn't like Aria, on the contrary, he likes Alea very much.

Alia is beautiful, generous, cheerful, intelligent, empathetic, and has a strong exotic atmosphere.

However, love does not mean love.

Besides, this is not Gu Ming's main world, maybe it won't be long before he will have to leave and continue to explore the new world.

After Tang Seng and his apprentices left, Gu Ming continued to stay in Yuhua Mansion for nearly a month before leaving.

The night before leaving, Aliya quietly came to Gu Ming's room.

"Aria, you ......"

Gu Ming smiled and got up to meet him, just about to ask.

Unexpectedly, Alia flew over like a butterfly and threw herself into his arms with tears in her eyes.

"Uh......"

Gu Ming's body stiffened.

"Aria, you...... What happened to you? ”

As a result, Alia did not speak, and took the initiative to give her lips......

She is very tall, almost the same as Gu Ming, and she doesn't have to tiptoe or anything, she can easily get on the spot.

Of course, this is also the reason why Gu Ming did not dodge.

This kind of thing doesn't suffer a loss, so it's good to kiss goodbye.

I don't know how long it took for Aliya to reluctantly separate, and said with a blushing face: "Sir, I'm sorry, I ......"

Gu Ming sighed: "I understand your feelings, it's just ...... You and I meet in the water, and I will leave early tomorrow morning. ”

"No, it's not a meeting in the water, it's fate."

Alia said with a stubborn expression.

"...... Aria"

"Sir, listen to me first, I know that Sir is not mortal, and Alia is not worthy of you......"

"Don't say that, feelings don't distinguish between status and status."

"Thank you, sir, for your advice, actually...... Alia doesn't have too many extravagant hopes, just wants ...... Just want to be able to ...... Can I ...... with Mr. Spend one night together, and you will have no regrets in this life......"

Although the Tianzhu woman has always been hot and generous, when it comes to this, Aliya is still a little shy.

"Aria, this ...... I'm afraid it's not good, you have to marry someone in the future, don't entrust yourself to a passing man. ”

"No, in Aria's life, Mr. is not a passerby......"

"But Aria, you may be more miserable in the future."

"No, I've thought about it a long time ago, so ...... That's why I mustered up the courage to come to Mr. tonight.

Because I know that if I don't come again, maybe I will regret it for the rest of my life. ”

"But ......"

"Sir, I know your customs in the Tang Dynasty, women have always paid great attention to their own reputation.

But in our Yuhua Mansion, there is nothing wrong with a woman giving her first time to a man she likes, and no one will laugh at it......"

With that, Alia lifted her hand and her shirt slipped to the ground......

"Sir, I've got Alia......"

……

The next morning, Gu Ming left Yuhua Mansion.

The prince, the princess, and many people in the city came to see them off.

Aliya stood in front of the crowd and waved goodbye to Gu Ming reluctantly like a little wife.

"Okay, you don't have to send it, let's go back!"

Gu Ming waved his hand, and his body slowly rose into the air.

Then, he waved at Aliya alone and said, "Aliya, remember what I said, cultivate hard, maybe one day I will come back." ”

"Uh-huh~"

Alia nodded desperately with tears in her eyes.

After leaving Yuhua Mansion, Gu Ming only flew for half a day before catching up with Tang Seng and his party.

At this time, Tang monks and apprentices had already entered the realm of Jinping Mansion.

Along the way, people and cars come and go, a prosperous scene.

Seeing that the people were living and working in peace, Tang Seng was quite relieved, and couldn't help but say: "It seems that this place is quite close to the Great Leiyin Temple, and there are no monsters in it, so the people's lives are peaceful." ”

"yes, all the way...... It's not easy. ”

Sun Wukong sighed.

If you want to say that this trip to the west to learn scriptures, who has the deepest feelings, he is naturally the only one.

After all, he gave the most.

"The hard days are finally coming to an end."

Zhu Bajie also can't wait to finish the scriptures quickly, and then he will be free to live the life he wants.

The master and apprentice were chatting energetically, and Gu Ming suddenly appeared.

The group greeted each other and continued to march in the direction of Jinping City.

Two days later, they entered the city.

At this time, the Lantern Festival is approaching, and the city is full of lights, jubilant, and a lively and peaceful atmosphere.

After walking a short distance, several monks came up to meet him.

Thinking about it, they had already learned the news that Tang Seng and his entourage were about to arrive in Jinping Mansion, so they had prepared in advance.

"May I ask you, are you an elder from the Eastern Soil Tang Dynasty?"

"Exactly ......"

Zhu Bajie replied first.

"Amitabha, the abbot has prepared food in the temple, and I invite you to rest in the temple."

In this regard, Tang Seng naturally did not refuse, and immediately accompanied those monks to a monastery in the city.

As soon as he arrived at the temple, the abbot led the crowd to greet him, and his attitude was quite enthusiastic.

"Since the holy monk has come to Jinping Mansion, it will be the Lantern Festival in a few days, and the Lantern Festival will be held in the city, which is very lively.

The important thing is that every year there is a Bodhisattva manifestation at the Lantern Festival, you can stay for a few more days, one to see the excitement, and the other to worship the Bodhisattva. ”

As soon as Tang Seng heard this, he naturally responded on the spot.

Gu Ming was noncommittal.

Because he knew in his heart that these three so-called bodhisattvas were actually changed by monsters, and these three monsters were rhinoceros spirits, and their names were "King of Cold", "King of Summer", and "King of Dust".

However, these three monsters are different from the previous ones, these three demons not only do not harm people, but they like to help others, and they especially love face.

It is not entirely deceived that they have become bodhisattvas, after all, they are demons, and if they appear in front of the people as demons, how can the people not be scared away?

So, he pretended to be a bodhisattva, not to mention the people, and even the monks in the city were deceived.

These three guys like to drink the sesame oil in the temple, so every year during the Lantern Festival, each temple in the city will prepare several jars of sesame oil for worship.

Since he didn't do evil, Gu Ming naturally didn't plan to get rid of these three demons, but wanted to borrow the hands of Tang monks and apprentices to ignite the three demons and let them embark on the right path from now on.

For goblins, Gu Ming has always been unbiased.

After all, he came from the Liaozhai world, and the demons and monsters in the Liaozhai world are not less than those in the Journey to the West world, but the strength of the two sides is not equal.

The reason why some youkai do evil everywhere is not actually because it is not in nature.

Just as a wild beast walks out of the mountains and forests, it will still eat people, and that is because it has to survive.

To put it simply, many youkai act on instinct, with no one to guide them and no one to tell them what is right or wrong.

For example, cannibalism, for many youkai, what is the difference between eating people and eating other animals? Is it all meat?

In fact, the same is true of people......

Eating pork and chicken, people can eat with peace of mind, and there will be no burden at all.

But if you eat dog meat...... That could lead to a war of words.

Strictly speaking, pigs, dogs, cows, chickens, ducks, etc., all belong to domestic animals.

Sometimes, however, dogs tend to be elevated to a level that is almost equal to that of humans......

In Gu Ming's previous life, there was even a farce of people kneeling down to apologize to the dog.

The dog bites a person, and that's because it's an animal, it's not sensible, and it can be forgiven. If a man beats a dog...... Dogs are not sensible, and you are not sensible either?

Straight to the point.

In any case, Gu Ming didn't have any ill feelings towards these three rhinoceros spirits, and he just took this opportunity to properly guide them, which could be regarded as accumulating some merits.

For cultivators, no matter what kind of school or even ordinary people, accumulating merit is a beneficial and harmless thing.

After staying in the temple for two days, Tang Seng found that the incense in this temple was quite prosperous.

Every day, many people come to offer incense and make wishes, or come to thank you.

There was an old man who had been paralyzed for many years, and not long ago, he listened to the advice of others and was carried by his family to the temple to make a wish, praying that the old man would be able to stand up again, and that two large jars of sesame oil would be offered at that time.

Unexpectedly, a few days later, the old man's leg slowly improved, and the family was naturally surprised and delighted, and fulfilled their promise and brought two cylinders of sesame oil to worship.

There was a merchant who had a rat infestation at home, and he often chewed up his goods and clothes.

The merchant ran to the temple and made a wish, hoping to solve the rat infestation.

Unexpectedly, it was really spiritual, and there was no longer a rat infestation at home that night, and the businessman also fulfilled his promise, donating money and sesame oil......

There are many more similar incidents.

In short, the people in the city are quite fond of Buddhism, and when they encounter something, they like to go to the temple to pray and make vows.

Although it cannot be said to be 100% effective, there are many benefits.

In this regard, Tang Seng was very pleased, thinking that it was because this place was close to the Da Lei Yin Temple, and there was Buddhism shrouded in Buddhism, so that the people would live and work in peace and contentment.

A few days have passed in a blink of an eye, and the Lantern Festival has arrived.

That night, Tang Seng also had a rare relaxation, and happily went to the street with his apprentices to enjoy the lanterns.

Along the way, it was really "a thousand trees blooming on the night of the east wind." More blows down, stars like rain. BMW carved cars are full of fragrance. The sound of the phoenix flute moves, the light of the jade pot turns, and the fish and dragon dance all night. ”

When I was happy, the sky suddenly sounded Sanskrit, and the light of the Buddha shone.

"The Bodhisattva has appeared!"

"The Bodhisattva has come!"

The people were pleasantly surprised, and knelt down one after another to bow and worship.

Tang Seng subconsciously raised his eyes and found that Guanyin Bodhisattva was also among them, and couldn't help but be overjoyed, and hurriedly bowed: "Amitabha, the disciple meets the three Bodhisattvas." ”

Sun Wukong naturally saw Guanyin, and couldn't help but smile and fly up into the air to say hello.

Unexpectedly, the three bodhisattvas acted as if they didn't know him......

In this way, Sun Wukong suddenly became suspicious, and immediately took a look at it with his fiery eyes: it turned out to be three goblins.

So he hurriedly flew down and said to Tang Seng: "Master, don't worship, these three Bodhisattvas are fake, they are monsters!" ”

"Huh?"

Tang Seng was taken aback.

Without waiting for Tang Seng to reply, Sun Wukong immediately summoned the golden hoop stick and shouted angrily at the three goblins: "Where are the monsters, dare to pretend to be a bodhisattva, you should fight!" ”

After speaking, he picked up the golden hoop stick and flew into the air to hit the three monsters.

"Oh my God, why do you even fight a bodhisattva?"

"Who is this, so presumptuous?"

"Sin ...... Sin"

On the ground, a group of people rioted and blamed Sun Wukong.

Although they heard Sun Wukong say that the three bodhisattvas in the sky were fakes, they didn't believe it at all.

In the chaos, the three monsters swept through a gust of demon wind and disappeared.

"Senior brother, it's no good, the master has been captured by the monster again......"

On the ground, when Sha Seng saw that the master was gone, he couldn't help but roar.

Sun Wukong was about to chase the monster, and when he heard that the master was gone, he hurriedly pressed the cloud head to look for it, and sure enough, it ...... Master is really gone.

Gu Ming saw Tang Seng being swept away by the demon wind, but he didn't stop him.

Anyway, this in itself is a difficulty for Tang Seng, and those three monsters will not eat any Tang Seng meat, after all, they want to become Buddhas wholeheartedly, and if they eat Tang Seng meat, then they will never refer to cultivating to a positive fruit.

Let's say that after the three monsters captured Tang Seng back to the cave, they were angry.

"It's hateful, I didn't expect that monkey spirit to ruin the reputation of our three brothers in public."

"Alas, it's a shame in public now......"

"I don't know if those people will worship our three brothers in the future......"

Hearing the three monsters complaining, Tang Seng couldn't help but speak: "Amitabha, listening to the tone of the three seems to be dedicated to the Buddha, why bother the poor monks?" It's better to let the poor monk go, maybe the poor monk can plead with my big apprentice......"

"Shut up, do you think our three brothers can't beat your apprentice?"

"That's right, we just don't want to do it in front of the people."

"You don't have any skills as a master, how good can your apprentice be?"

Tang Seng sighed and said: "Amitabha, presumably the three of them don't know the name of the poor monk's great apprentice, his name is Sun Wukong, and there was a name called Monkey King back then......

"What? Is he the Monkey King? ”

"So you're Tang Seng?"

"It's the poor monk."

Saying this, the three monsters couldn't help but change their faces.

At that moment, he stepped aside and muttered and began to discuss......

"Since he is a Tang monk, it is better to let him go, and avoid too many tricks."

"No, just let him go, how faceless are our three brothers?"

"Yes, yes, third brother, think about it, that Sun Wukong swept our face in front of the people of the city, revealing the bottom of our brothers, this hatred is not shared!"

"I think my three brothers have worked hard for many years, bringing countless benefits to the people of Jinping Mansion, treating their diseases, asking for rain for them, solving troubles for them, and even solving family disputes for them......

What are we trying to do?

Isn't it just a good name, isn't it just a good merit?

It's good now, I don't know if the people will believe us in the future......"

Saying this, the hesitant third brother couldn't help but grit his teeth: "What the eldest brother and the second brother said is reasonable, that Sun Wukong is indeed too hateful, ruining our years of hard work, we must teach him a lesson." ”

In this way, the three brothers naturally refused to let Tang Seng go, and it was useless to persuade Tang Seng no matter how he persuaded him.

In short, they want to let Sun Wukong suffer a little loss, learn a lesson, and get out of a bad breath......
