Chapter 0031: The Nine Palace Skeleton crosses the river as a master and apprentice of the boat
The water monster was in a hurry, and kowtowed again and again: "Holy monk, elder, master, my martial arts are not low, but these two senior brothers are too powerful." If Master accepts me, I am willing to do laundry, cooking, and leading horses, leading horses to carry burdens, and I can do any dirty work. ”
These words did not move the three organs in the slightest, but they were very useful in the ears of Wukong Bajie. The monkey stepped forward and persuaded: "Master, then take him, this guy has served the Jade Emperor, and I believe that he will be able to suffer a lot less along the way to the master." ”
Bajie also advised: "Yes, Master, you should accept a miscellaneous person, if you really can't do it, you should be a registered apprentice first." ”
The three viscera nodded reluctantly, and said to the water monster: "For the sake of the two senior brothers, you can follow the poor monk as an entourage, don't mention this apprentice first." Let me ask you, do you have a name? ”
The water monster said: "Master, when Guanyin Bodhisattva lit me, he took water as his surname and gave me the surname Sha, and the Dharma name was Wujing." ”
Sanvisai nodded, asked the monkey to take the ring knife, and shaved Sha Wujing's head, and when he looked at it again, he really looked like a standard monk. The three organs said: "I'll give you another mixed name, just call it Monk Sha." ”
Monk Sha thanked: "Master Xie, senior brother, second senior brother." ”
Bajie stepped forward to pat Monk Sha's bald head and said, "You pus, now you are satisfied, and you don't dare to send Master across the river in a hurry." ”
Sha Pubao shook his head and said: "Master, if you want to say that you have nothing to say about letting your disciples eat people, you can drag your master to swim through the water, but it's difficult to carry your master over on your back, and I really can't guarantee that you can get to the other side." ”
Sanvisa sighed: "Alas! It's really right to confiscate you as an apprentice, sure enough, pus. You take off the hanging skeleton from your neck and show it to your teacher. ”
Puss took off the necklace and touched it to the hands of the three organs, "Master, this is the skulls of nine people who have learned scriptures. I ate people in this quicksand river, and after eating, my skull sank into the quicksand in the river, but these nine floated on the water, and I wore a rope together to play with it, and it was also shiny and smooth for the plate. Later, when Guanyin Bodhisattva enlightened me, I asked me to hang it down, saying that it was useful. ”
Sanshu nodded, "Well, that's it." As he spoke, he untied the ropes that pierced the skull, arranged them in accordance with the nine palaces, and put them back together.
The monkey asked, "Master, why are you arranging them in the nine palaces?" ”
The three organs said: "Do you know why this skeleton does not sink?" That's because it's the bones of a moral monk. And it is the skull of the reincarnation of the ninth life of the same person, and the reincarnation of this person will be deeper and the buoyancy will be greater, only the method of the nine palaces can ensure that the horizontal and vertical and three oblique crosses are all maintained in the same way, and the skeleton raft will not be tilted due to uneven buoyancy. ”
After putting it on, the three organs threw the skeleton into the purple gold bowl, "Small bowl, add a spell to this raft." ”
Xiaowan ruthlessly refused: "This is not a magic weapon, how to add a spell, this is impossible." ”
The three organs asked, "Is there a way to make it a little bigger?" ”
Xiaowan said: "I can't help it, you can think for yourself." ”
In the Tang Dynasty, it was used as a common name for the internal organs and flesh and bones of the human body, which means something hidden inside the epidermis. Therefore, Tang San's viscera in this Journey to the West world is called Tang Sanji, Tang Sanzhen, and Tang Sanzang.
This skeleton is the skull of the person who took the scriptures, because of the lack of Taoism and virtue, it is impossible to condense the relics, and the moral light of the Lingtai will refine the skull pure, and naturally it will not sink into the quicksand.
The three organs got up and sat down on the skull of the nine palaces, and began to recite the Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra silently, chanting it again, and when they opened their eyes again, the skeleton of the nine palaces had turned into a big Dharma boat, carrying the three organs into the quicksand realm.
Wukong said: "Quick, get on the French boat." ”
Bajie took the burden first, and the pus-filled sand monk didn't dare to rob Bajie, so he had to lead the white horse. The monkey didn't need to get on the boat, it floated in front to lead the way, and the Nine Palace Skeleton Law Boat crossed the eight hundred miles of quicksand realm in the wind and waves. After the four of them went ashore, the nine skeletons turned into a wisp of black smoke and drifted westward.
As soon as the hearts of the three viscera moved, the dragon elephant was activated, opened its mouth and spit out a puff of black gas to catch up with the skeleton black smoke and engulf it, and then took the black gas back.
"Grandpa, what are you doing swallowing this black gas?" Xiao Wan asked curiously in his mind.
"His grandmother's, although these nine skeletons are not Tang Seng's previous life, they are also victims of Buddhism, but they can't be mutilated." ”
The Buddha and Bodhisattva of the West Heaven ate the Nine Golden Cicada, but in order to hide people's eyes, he sacrificed nine people to learn the scriptures, and then let the quicksand river monster eat it halfway. In this way, people will think that the golden cicada elders of the ninth generation have been eaten by the water monsters of the quicksand realm, and Buddhism has not done anything to eat people.
Although the first nine people did not complete the merit of learning the scriptures, they also made a grand wish, and these nine skeletons did not sink to the bottom of the ground, although there are moral blessings, but more often the grand wish is not fulfilled unwillingly. This grand wish involves the way of heaven, if it is accepted by the three organs, and then the three organs obtain the true scriptures, then the merit will inevitably be divided by the three organs to exceed the first nine scriptures.
Since this is the case, it is better to accept it yourself, take these nine grand wishes, and then the merits of these nine people will also fall on their heads, and they will not be cheap in vain.
Tang San's sour black qi can stun the gods and Buddhas all over the sky, and there is no spell to recite if he encounters it, so the disappearance of the nine black gases, if he comes, he can't figure out where he ran to.
The four masters and apprentices continued to travel west, and Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was far away in Putuo Mountain in the South China Sea, was watching flowers on the railing with the dragon girl holding pearls in the Chaoyin Cave of the Purple Bamboo Forest in the Baolian Pond. The lotus flower in the pool is in full bloom, Guanyin Bodhisattva is quite proud, pointing to the lotus in the pool and saying: "I use the net bottle of nectar to nourish the lotus platform of the nine grades for a long time, and I can be the third product of the supplement, this can be the innate treasure, my way can be successful!" ”
The dragon maiden asked, "Bodhisattva, I don't know where my way is?" ”
The Bodhisattva looked at the orb in the dragon girl's hand and asked, "Are you willing to give it up?" ”
The dragon maiden presented the orb, "Since the Bodhisattva likes it, I will give it to you." ”
Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head and said: "Your treasure bead is worth three thousand worlds, which is more precious than the nine-grade golden lotus of this treasure lotus pond. ”
The dragon girl said: "The great compassion Guanyin Bodhisattva, the teacher of the Seven Buddhas does not dare to accept my orb, so who else can bear it?" ”
Guanyin said: "If the world-honored one comes, only he can receive your orb." ”
The dragon girl took back the orb and said, "Good! I will offer this jewel to the Buddha, and the Bodhisattva will send me there? ”
The Bodhisattva nodded slightly, raised his hand and pinched his fingers, and then became furious, his pretty face rose with black anger, and he gritted his teeth and said: "It's really hateful that you are a golden cicada, you dare to take my merits." ”
Seeing that the Bodhisattva was angry, the dragon girl hurriedly said, "Bodhisattva, what kind of anger are you born in? He came in vain. ”
The Bodhisattva said: "Sister, you don't know, I turned over in the eight hundred miles of quicksand boundary to persuade the good heavenly court curtain general to be an apprentice to the person who learned the scriptures, and originally planned to let the Venerable Hui'an use this red gourd to live in the Tang monk to cross the river, who would have thought that the bald donkey dared to do nothing with my arrangement, and he passed quietly." It's just a matter of turning over the Guanyin Academy, after all, what I did was not authentic, but this time I arranged it in a proper manner, and Tang Seng didn't buy it, which was really unbearable. ”
The dragon girl's eyes blinked twice, and she suddenly grinned: "Bodhisattva, if it's inconvenient, the little sister is willing to go and catch that Tang monk." Whether it is Taishang Laojun or Rulai to come forward, I will not sell face, just wait for the Bodhisattva to come forward. ”
When the Bodhisattva heard this, he was immediately overjoyed and said, "Sister, if you are willing to help your sister, this Baozhu sister will help you open the foundation of the Heavenly Dao." ”
The dragon girl raised her little hand and shouted, "Okay, it's a word." ”
Syllable! Guanyin Bodhisattva gritted his teeth and the dragon girl high-fived as an oath. The dragon girl immediately got up and turned into a golden light and went west. When the Bodhisattva saw that the dragon girl was gone, he also called Muzha Hui'an to explain, and drove Xiangyun to go, looking at the direction of Lishan Dojo in Nanzhan Buzhou.
