Chapter 8: The Mysterious Master
Putting away the golden clouds, Daoxin landed on a gazebo with his two apprentices. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Wang Sheng still looked around with a shocked mood, this was the first time he had so truly experienced the wonder of the Journey to the West, everywhere there were immortals and Taoist bones, everywhere was a fairyland that was difficult to find in the world, and every grass and tree exuded the fragrance of nature.
"Come here when you go for the teacher, you are waiting here, remember not to run around." Daoxin admonished, and then the golden light around him rose again, and he flew to the top of the high mountain.
Seeing that the master came and went freely, Wang Sheng was very envious of such a flying technique, but it was a pity that his cloud climbing technique was not easy to perform now.
Hongren smiled at him and said, "Master may have gone to discuss Master Xuanzang's affairs, he shouldn't be back in a short time, and he will finish today's homework for his brother, if he is idle and bored, he can also go around, but remember not to run far." ”
As soon as he heard the word Xuanzang, Wang Sheng's eyes lit up, this was the main purpose of his visit.
He looked at the top of the mountain, but he couldn't see the slightest trace, and Master's golden light disappeared.
"The bodhisattva power of Buddhism must be on it." Wang Sheng was a little looking forward to it.
He is not ashamed of relying on Buddhism to complete the task, the most important thing is to be able to successfully rescue Tang Seng, and once he fails, he will be sad to stay in the Westward Journey World to be his monk.
It wasn't what he wanted.
Time passed, more and more monks arrived, the pavilions around it were already occupied, and Wang Sheng was also a little bored with the surrounding environment.
At this moment, a bell rang at the top of the mountain and shook the heavens and the earth, and everyone looked at the top of the mountain.
A Taoist temple that occupies an area of Xu, the style of the simple Taoist temple is slowly emerging, there are two little Taoist children standing at the door of the Taoist temple, the pink carving jade is very cute, is strikingly ringing a big bell, and at the same time said: "Master please stay away from irrelevant people, if there is no invitation, please do not approach Wuzhuang Temple, especially the Buddha's door, it is better not to get close to Wanshou Mountain, Wanshou Mountain does not welcome you." ”
The sound is crisp and pleasant, and it spreads all over the mountain.
The little girl seemed to be very shy, and timidly added, "We didn't say this, it was Master who said it, you can't blame us." ”
Wang Sheng was dumbfounded, this must be Qingfeng Mingyue, but what does Zhen Yuanzi mean, can't the people of Buddhism even enter the door?
Isn't Zhen Yuanzi quite friendly to Buddhism in the original book?
After the breeze and the moon finished speaking, they returned to the Taoist temple, and at the same time, dozens of rays of light flew up in the pavilion at the foot of the mountain, and they went straight into the Wuzhuang Temple.
At this time, his senior brother Hongren stood up and said to him, "Senior brother, let's also enter the view." ”
"Can we go in too?" Wang Sheng was puzzled.
Hongren shook his head and took out something from his arms, and Wang Sheng saw that it was an invitation.
He was very surprised, "Senior brother, where did this invitation come from, isn't Zhenyuan Daxian not welcoming Buddhism." ”
Hongren smiled slightly, "Having said that, after all, my Buddhism is located in Xiniu Hezhou with Wuzhuang Temple, and there are still some thin noodles." ”
The words were flat, but Wang Sheng heard pride and pride in them.
Indeed, there are so many great powers in Buddhism, how can it not be possible to enter the gate of Wuzhuang Temple! Wang Sheng was overjoyed, and it seemed that there was still hope for his task.
Enjoying the envious gaze of many people on the mountainside who were not qualified to enter, Hongren took Wang Sheng to the top of the mountain and landed in front of the view.
"Buddhism Zen Zhengjue Temple came to the meeting."
"Is there an invitation?" The timid voice of a little girl came from inside the door.
Hongren held up the invitation card and stamped it on the door, and the door opened, and behind the door was the little girl who had seen it before.
"Two masters, please come in." The little girl said a little shyly.
Wang Sheng guessed that she should be Mingyue.
She is tied with two little pigtails, her little face is very cute, and she looks like a punctual little Lori, but Wang Sheng knows that no matter which one of them is Qingfeng Mingyue, she is at least a thousand years old, and she is an old monster who is more than Tianshan Tong.
Stepping into Wuzhuang Temple is like changing the world, the world is instantly quiet, and the vitality in the air is obviously rich.
Directly in front of it was a magnificent main hall, and at this time, there were dozens of nearly a hundred Taoist monks talking to each other, apparently all of them receiving invitations.
Wang Sheng's sharp eyes also found the Lingxuzi he had seen before, and he and a group of old Taoist priests gathered there as if they were playing chess.
"Master of Buddhism, please come here." Mingyue opened her mouth timidly again, and then walked to a path next to the main hall first.
Wang Sheng and his senior brother hurriedly followed, and after a full moment of walking through the trail, they reached the end when a courtyard appeared in front of them.
As soon as she came to the vicinity of this courtyard, Mingyue stopped and said in a low voice: "Mingyue farewell, the two masters please take care of yourself." ”
Watching Dao Tong Mingyue leave, Wang Sheng and his senior brother pushed open the courtyard door and walked into the courtyard, and as soon as they stepped in, a familiar voice floated from the courtyard.
"The love of the poor monks of all the mages is clear, but this matter is the fault of my master and apprentice, I can't complain about the great immortal of Zhen Yuanzi, and there will be a master who will come to rescue the poor monk soon, so don't worry too much about the mages."
How does this voice look like Tang Seng's! Wang Sheng was stunned.
He looked inside the courtyard and was pleasantly surprised.
It is a towering tree that fell to the ground and almost died, and there were several stumps standing in front of the tree, Tang monks and apprentices were tied to the stumps, and there was a big oil pot in front of them, and the flame under the oil pot spontaneously combusted without firewood, and it burned hot.
He actually saw Tang Seng and his apprentice again, and Wang Sheng felt that the mission was so close to him for the first time.
There were still many monks standing in front of the oil pot, most of them were seen by Wang Sheng in the Daxiong Treasure Hall a few days ago, and his master Daoxin was also inside.
At this time, his master just spoke, "Although I don't know who Master Xuanzang is waiting for, this matter is also a matter of my Buddhism, and I will not stand idly by." ”
"Amitabha, all the Dharma masters, your good intentions of the poor monks are known, but within a month, the master will definitely come, and the poor monks and apprentices will be fine." Tang Seng swore with a sworn face.
Zhu Bajie on the side also said with a grin, "Yes, you don't know, that master is quite mysterious, and he will definitely come to save us." ”
Wang Sheng was very surprised when he heard it, could it be that Tang Seng still has any backers?
Before the abbots could reply, they heard a voice from above.
"Oh? Poor Dao was curious about which master would come to rescue the thieves, and Poor Dao really couldn't wait to see it. ”
It was indeed an old man in Taoist costume who suddenly appeared at a height of 100 meters above the heads of Tang monks and apprentices, he had three locks of beautiful hair, looked like a child, wore a purple and gold crown on his head, and held snow-white floating dust in his hand, and slowly fell in front of the oil pot.
He faced all the Buddhist monks, and said lightly: "You don't have to continue to intercede for his master and apprentice, and the poor road doesn't want their lives, after all, the old one, I only ask them to stay in my Wuzhuang Temple for ten years, and the poor road is good to eat and drink for ten years. ”
This person is the ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, and he plans to leave as soon as he shakes off the dust.
At this time, Daoxin stepped forward and said: "Daxian stays, Lao Qu and others also know that this matter is the fault of my Buddhism, and they dare not ask Daxian for forgiveness, but Master Xuanzang's westward journey to learn scriptures interferes with a major matter, which is really a feat for the benefit of the people of Li, and I also ask Daxian to forgive me, and send down an edict, my Buddhism will do its best to make Daxian angry." ”
Zhen Yuanzi sneered, "Do your best? Can you and other juniors represent Buddhism? Why didn't those bodhisattvas in the West Heaven come in person? He squinted at Daoxin: "Poor Dao remembers you, aren't you the little monk next to Bodhidharma back then, I haven't seen you for many years, and you have achieved a golden body." ”
Daoxin announced a Buddha name, "I didn't expect Daxian to remember the little monk, the little monk did travel with the master for a period of time, and it is accidental that he has today's achievements." ”
Zhen Yuanzi waved his robe, very impatient: "Poor Dao is not here to listen to you talk nonsense, your ancestor does have a little affection for me, but you are far from qualified, if you want to get involved in Buddhism, you can do it, if you want to save the golden cicada, your Buddhism still find a way to save the ginseng fruit tree of the poor Dao." ”
With that, he turned and left.
Wang Sheng was worried, he turned his head to look at Hongren on the side, "Senior brother, where are the Bodhisattvas of my Buddhism?" ”
Hongren shook his head with a bitter face, "Originally, I invited a few Bodhisattvas, but the Bodhisattvas said that they could not make a move according to the decree of my Buddha, and the most important Guanyin Master could not be found." “
Wang Sheng was dumbfounded, Buddhism did not have great power!?
So what kind of trouble is this in front of you, do you really want to move Zhen Yuanzi with your true feelings? There is not even a person who can talk to him on an equal footing.
The power of Buddhism he imagined was not the lineup in front of him.
At this time, Daoxin and many Buddhist monks frowned, they didn't expect Zhen Yuanzi to give no face at all.
Daoxin shook his head, "The only way to save the ginseng fruit tree is to find a way." ”
The host of the Tiantai Sect sighed in a low voice, "But the only person in my Buddhism who can save the ginseng fruit tree should be Guanyin Master, but the Bodhisattva is not in the West Heaven these days, and I don't know where to go." ”
At this time, Tang Seng interjected again.
"Don't be embarrassed, what the poor monk said is true, there will really be a master to rescue the poor monk and apprentice, I think if it wasn't for the sudden disappearance of the master at that time, we might still take refuge in the master."
Zhu Bajie also accosted, "Yes, but speaking of which, although the master's cave is small, the food in it is really strong, especially the spicy thing, which is very good, Senior Brother Sha, do you say yes." He looked aftertasted.
The sand monk on the side touched his head and smiled innocently.
The monks heard it in a fog, but Wang Sheng felt a sigh in his heart.
This Nima, Tang Seng said that the master should not be him!
