Text 27 A fire in winter

Knowing that this time there was no danger, I also calmed down, it was the first time to see the fire so closely, it was indeed too close, and I was in the middle of the raging flames!

"Wukong, tell me what's going on. ”

Sun Wukong nodded and said: "After the master fell asleep, the apprentice also lay down, but although I slept, I was only refining my qi and waking up dimly. After lying down, I faintly heard the crying outside, and when I went out, I saw that it was from the old greedy monk's meditation room, and the apprentice was puzzled, so he turned into a bee and flew into his meditation room to look, it turned out to be the old monk's lamp to look at the master's brocade robe, and look straight at it is howling and crying. ”

I was puzzled: "What is the old master crying about?"

Sun Wukong smiled, "Not only the master doesn't know, but even the juniors around the old greedy monk don't know, all the monks see that the old monk has been crying and don't dare to sleep, they all gather around the old monk and ask, Master, do you guess the old monk is?"

"Where did I guess, and if I knew, I would ask you what you were doing?"

Sun Wukong raised his head and smiled, "That old greedy monk is really ridiculous, he actually said that he has no chance, and he can't see Master's treasure!"

"Didn't the robe for the teacher already lend it to him?"

"Yes, those junior monks also said that the robe is not here, although it is just to see it, the old greedy monk said that he did not see it for a long time, saying that he is two hundred and seventy years old this year, and he has earned hundreds of robes, but they are not as good as the master's one, and it is better to be a 'Tang monk' like the master!"

I smiled, "Where is my Tang monk good, I am a monk who has left his hometown, but I can't compare to him, an old monk who sits at home at ease." ”

Sun Wukong clapped his hands and said: "Master is really a monk, what he said is the same as that little evil monk, the little evil monk asked the old greedy monk, asked him why he is so old, why he is not comfortable enjoying happiness, but he wants to be a foot monk like us." ”

Why? Do you still want to ask, don't you just want my robe, the old thing can, in order to get a splendid robe, even 108,000 miles of the road to learn the scriptures, is this considered a kind of attachment? Unfortunately, what my Buddha is teaching is to let go of attachment, and you have been a monk for more than 200 years in vain.

"Why, it must be for the robe. ”

"Exactly, the old greedy monk said that although he enjoyed happiness at home, he was not allowed to wear a brocade robe, and if he was allowed to wear it for a day, he would die and close his eyes, and it would not be in vain for him to come to the yang world to be a monk. ”

I went, and I felt that it was worth dying after wearing it for a day, and your pursuit was too low! You don't know how I felt when I walked for three or four hours in a brocade robe, and I was sinking to death!

Sun Wukong continued: "Another little evil monk said that the old greedy monk was confused, and said that if the old greedy monk wants to wear it, leave us for one more day tomorrow, and the master will definitely be willing to borrow the robe for one more day, and if you stay for ten days, you will borrow ten more days, and if you stay for a few days, the old greedy monk can wear it for a few days." ”

I nodded and said, "Don't say to borrow, as long as he says he wants it, why don't you give it to him." ”

Sun Wukong said: "How can that greedy monk have such a wide stomach as the master, he said that even if the master stays for half a year, he only wears it for half a year, and he can't be angry in the end, and the master still has to return it when he leaves, and he can't stay for a long time." ”

I sighed, "In the end, it's still too greedy, hey, Wukong, why do you keep calling him a little evil monk?"

Sun Wukong said: "Why do you call him a little evil monk, just because those two little beasts are too vicious, one of the two little evil monks is called Guangzhi, and the other is called Guangmou, the old greedy monk sighed for a long time, but these two little evil monks came up with his idea to harm the master." ”

Guangzhi Guangmou, I have the impression that they are the two apprentices of the old master, this name is taken, one wisdom and one strategy, I think it is more appropriate to replace wisdom with yin.

"According to the master's words, those greedy monks wanted to harm our lives when they saw the wealth, and they plotted against the robes. That Guangzhi came out and said that it is easy to get a long time, saying that our master and apprentice are walking people, and they have worked very hard, and now they are asleep, they found a few powerful ones, took guns and knives, opened the meditation hall, killed us, and buried the corpses in the back garden, except for the monks in the temple, how can outsiders know, and then found our white horses, bags, and left the robe, as an heirloom, is a long-term plan for descendants. ”

I sighed and said, "A monk has such a vicious heart that he wears this garment in vain." ”

That's why the apprentice called the two of them little evil monks. ”

I asked, "How can the conspiracy be called evil?"

Sun Wukong said: "The old greedy monk was full of joy when he heard Guangzhi's method, and said again and again that it was a wonderful plan, that is, to prepare guns and knives, but Guangmou stepped forward and said that the plan was not secondary, saying that the master's white face is easy to kill, but my hairy face seems to be not easy, and I am afraid that killing people will not cause trouble." ”

I laughed: "This Guangmou has some vision than Guangzhi, and knows that Wukong, you are not an ordinary character." ”

"The little evil monk Guangmou said that there is a way not to use swords and guns. ”

I glanced at the flames that were getting higher and higher, "And so there is this fire." ”

Sun Wukong nodded and said: "Guangmou said, call the big and small houses in Dongshan, each person should have a bunch of dry firewood, give up the three meditation halls, set a fire, teach us to go without a door, even people and horses burned it, that is, people in front of the mountain and behind the mountain saw the fire, and it was good to hide people's eyes and ears, only to say that our master and apprentice accidentally went to the fire, and accidentally burned their meditation hall, and the two of us were naturally burned to death in the fire, so that the robe is their heirloom." ”

I shook my head, "Alas, it's a pity that this ingenuity is actually used to do evil, if it is known to the laity, it will not tarnish my image of Buddhism." ”

Sun Wukong said: "The greedy monks in the room were all happy when they heard about Guangmou's plan to burn the meditation room, and they all praised the fire plan for being even better. The apprentice learned of the plan of the greedy and evil monks, and was about to beat him with a stick, but the poor monk couldn't help beating him, and he was beaten to death with a stick, wouldn't he disobey the master's instructions. ”

I smiled and nodded, although this monkey moved with murderous intent, he was able to control himself and did not move, which is much more than the Monkey King I know.

The apprentice hurriedly came back to bring the dragon horse and the salute into the master's meditation room, and jumped into the Nantianmen with a somersault, to borrow a magic weapon, and when he came back, the old greedy monk had already followed the method of Guangmou, and called more than 200 monks in the head of the large and small houses in Dongshan, and carried firewood and grass, and had surrounded the front and back of a meditation hall, and was about to set fire. ”

I said how could this fire burn so vigorously, it turned out that more than 200 bundles of firewood were added, and it really responded to the sentence that everyone gathered firewood and the flame was high.

Wait, listen to you, this circle on the earth was not drawn by you, it was a magic weapon you borrowed from heaven to protect me? You life prisoner who has made a big fuss in the heavenly palace is so swaggering to heaven, don't let the heavenly soldiers and heavenly generals arrest you as a prison escapee.

"When you go to heaven, do the gods know that you have gone out of the mountain to learn scriptures according to the Buddha's will?"

Sun Wukong laughed and said: "How did those little soldiers know that my old grandson had already left the Five Elements Mountain, and one by one he was so frightened that he hugged his head and ran away, shouting that it was not good! Oh no! The master of the Heavenly Palace is here again!"

"Nonsense! Have you explained to the gods?"

Sun Wukong said: "The apprentice naturally doesn't dare to mess around, but I am here to find the wide-eyed king." ”

The Wide-Eyed Heavenly King, one of the great kings of the Four Heavenly Kings in my Buddhism, the Demon Lishou of the Four Generals of the Demon Family, the King of the West can observe and protect the three thousand worlds with a pure Dharma eye, so he has the holy name of the Wide-eyed.

I know that the Hiromu Heavenly King lives in the west of the Sumeru Mountainside, with the Dragon King and other subordinates, guarding the West Niu Hezhou, and the statue of the Hiromu Heavenly King in the temple is dressed in red, wearing armor on his head, and holding a dragon in his hand, I don't know if the Hiromu Heavenly King in the sky is really like that.

"What are you looking for the Wide-Eyed Heavenly King?"

Sun Wukong motioned for me to look up, I looked at the situation, only to see Sun Wukong pointing to the void, and a small bell that looked like a blue jade carving appeared at a height of more than two meters above my head, and the size was only a little bigger than a fist.

"What is this?"

Sun Wukong pointed again, and the small bell slowly disappeared, "Master, this is the fire shield I borrowed from the Wide-eyed Heavenly King at the South Heavenly Gate. ”

Fire shield, the wide-eyed Heavenly King leads the Dragon King of the Four Seas, and there are some magic weapons of the water system that should also be.

I nodded, "It's really a good magic weapon, and you must remember to return it to others early when you run out." ”

"That's natural, my grandson is not the one who cheats in person, what does it mean to borrow well and pay it back, it is not difficult to borrow again, the apprentice still knows. ”

I kept staring at the firelight, my eyes were glazed, and I just lay down and looked at the sky.

Coming to this Shenzhou world, it's been a long time since I've seen the illuminated night sky at night, and the red night sky reminds me of the neon of the city.

Now the memories of my past life are a little blurry in my mind, and sometimes I even suspect that everything in my past life is just a fantasy, and I may just be a psychopath, imagining an illusory world.

With a self-deprecating smile, I sat up and closed my eyes, and I didn't think about how bright the night sky was, how burning the meditation room on the ground was, how terrible the human heart was, and what the Dharma was.

The feeling of being in the tranquil outer space is as if you are in a tranquil outer space, and although you can't do it, meditation is also a kind of practice.

No matter how much firewood and grass there is, there is a time when it burns out, and I don't know how long it will take, I feel someone gently tugging at my sleeve, and when I open my eyes, the fire is gone, and the sky is already bright, and the sun is about to come out.

The dilapidated meditation room and the more than 200 bundles of firewood outside have been burned into charcoal, but despite this, the leftover residue has also been piled up to two meters high, you dead bald donkeys are quite powerful, the small three meditation rooms can pile up more than 200 bundles of firewood, are you all Tetris professional players!

The three meditation rooms were burned without leaving a piece of tile, and the smoke in the embers drifted straight into the sky, Sun Wukong said, "Master, the smoke is almost gone, and when I return this fire cover to the sky, let's go out to find the old greedy monk to ask for a robe." ”

I nodded, "Go and get back!"

Sun Wukong took away the fire cover and flew straight into the sky along the white smoke, leaving me sitting in place.

Without the fire cover, the choking smell of smoke rushed over me instantly, and I couldn't help coughing a few times, and the high temperature in the embers came from all directions, but I couldn't feel the chill of the early morning.

Wukong, do you expect to come back and find the robe in a while, don't you know, the robe is no longer in this Guanyin Temple.

I couldn't help but sigh as I looked at the blurred outlines of the mountains in the distance by the bright light of the sky.

I said to myself: "Alas, black bear spirit, black bear spirit, I don't know which mountain you are in, I originally didn't want my precious apprentice Sun Wukong to meet you, now I'm afraid it's inevitable, and I don't know if the three magic hoops in my hand can be kept......
