"Be careful when you walk, hold the torch in your hand safely, and don't cause a wildfire!"

"The one ahead walks slower! The younger generations light the road, don't let the old dazzled and fall inconveniently!"

Just like the head teacher taking a group of junior students to a spring outing, I told me along the way that the twenty-mile mountain road is not far, but in such a starry night when the sky is not bright, it is indeed difficult to walk fast with only a few torches in my hand.

Although I had traveled back and forth on the way to Black Wind Mountain, re-entering the mountain at night was like entering a strange world.

In just twenty miles, I walked for more than three hours, set off at seven o'clock, and when it was almost twelve o'clock, more than 200 people came to the Batu Caves.

Coming to this original monster cave, all the monks are thanking the Bodhisattva for his blessing and the guidance of the holy monks, and at the same time, they are also amazed that there is such a cave blessed land hidden in the mountain.

Although the Batu Caves are arranged with quaint and unique colors, the area here cannot be compared with the original Guanyin Zen Temple, and after all, there were monsters living here before, they are not as hypocritical as humans, they like private spaces, get a personal privacy or something.

In addition to Xiong Shanjun's inner room, there are only a dozen or so large and small rooms used to live in them, and there were originally only one hundred or ten little monsters in the Batu Caves, basically seven or eight monsters living in one room together.

I arranged the older and older ones in the temple in the largest inner room of Xiong Shanjun, after all, there are still a lot of people who can live there, and the other monks are also crowded in a small room every dozen or so, and if they can't squeeze in, they go to the armory room and storage room to make do, even if this is arranged, there are still forty or fifty people who have no place to sleep, and in the end there is no way, I left forty or fifty young monks who looked young and strong and could withstand the cold to set up bunks in the outer hall.

Originally, I wanted to squeeze in with the others and make do with this night, but the monks insisted that I live alone in a single room, so I went to the room that Xiong Shanjun cleaned up for me last night.

The room was still this room, but there was no hot tea on the table at this time, and I sat on the drum stool, looked around the room, and couldn't help but let out a long sigh.

Sun Wukong said: "Master, is he revisiting his hometown with emotion?"

I nodded, "Although it is a revisit, but just one day is a matter of things and people, speaking of which, Xiong Shanjun has not treated me as a teacher very badly, and has always respected me as a guest, if it weren't for the fact that I estimated that he would not be tied up later." ”

Sun Wukong also nodded and said: "That black guy served the master yesterday really well, but he has always failed to follow the right path, and he deserves this calamity." ”

"Wukong, you said that the Guanyin Zen Monastery was in calamity this time, but it was because of the fault of the old monk of Jinchi?"

Sun Wukong thought for a while, "The apprentice feels that whether it is the old greedy monk or these little greedy monks, they are all at fault. ”

I beckoned Sun Wukong to sit down, "What do you think, talk about it as a teacher." ”

Sun Wukong sat on the drum bench opposite me like a child, and said: "The old greedy monk is naturally hateful, insatiable, and has no appearance of a monk at all, but he can't lead by example, after all, he has brought his children and grandchildren to his descendants, but those little greedy monks are also at fault, even if there is this old greedy monk as the teacher, but the teacher is not a sage, and there will be mistakes.

Yes, there are times when sages make mistakes, and who hasn't done anything wrong, but if there is no one around you who can remind you, then you can only end up with a sad end.

"People are not saints and sages, to use an analogy, if you want the country to be prosperous and the people strong, the wisdom of the king and the emperor is important, but if the king has no loyal ministers and good generals around him, and there is no long-term peace and prosperity, so there are only kings and saints and sages who say. ”

Sun Wukong suddenly laughed a few times.

I asked, "Goku, what are you laughing at?"

"Master is Master, always like to preach a few words, the apprentice remembered that Master Fang Cai spoke to the monks in front of the fire, and the greedy monks who talked about it wept bitterly, the master was talking with bright eyes at that time, what a saint, the apprentice really did not lose to be the master's apprentice. ”

I laughed and said, "You monkey, if you slap the horse like this, I will put one of my remaining two magic weapons on you." ”

Sun Wukong knew that I was joking, so he said with a smile: "Is the master willing to let the apprentice wear that hoop, it's a pity to lose a master today." ”

Speaking of losing the hoops, I couldn't help but sigh again, alas, I tried to keep these three hoops, but I still couldn't defeat the invisible force in this world, although the details are slightly different, but everything is still developing according to the story.

The Guanyin Monastery was burned, and the big black bear was put on a hoop to go to the Bodhisattva's house to be a forest ranger, although it was not a forbidden hoop but a tight hoop, but I was still missing a hoop after all.

I vaguely remember that the Batu Caves in the story were finally burned by Sun Wukong, but now that I have brought all the monks of the Guanyin Monastery here, the only thing I can change is these small details that are not very important.

Sun Wukong smiled: "Master, but I still think it's a pity that the hoop was lost?"

I thought about it, "Actually, I didn't care that much, it was originally given by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I just stayed just in case." ”

Sun Wukong said: "Although I lost a hoop this time, the apprentice felt very lucky, fortunately, the master didn't put the flower hat on the apprentice's head, otherwise, it would be my grandson who was rolling all over the ground." ”

You're really right, if it weren't for a master like me, you think you would be rolling all over the ground less, Tang Seng in the TV series is not as good at talking as me, his favorite thing is to recite the mantra, no matter which version of the Journey to the West film and television works, Tang Seng is indispensable to recite the mantra of Sun Wukong.

Such a person who always recites mantras, what kind of apprentice will really protect you, if I am Sun Wukong, I will definitely find an opportunity to beat Tang Seng to death in the middle of the night, and you will torture me by chanting mantras.

However, there are too many people who can recite this mantra, and they are also at the level of the Buddha and Guanyin Bodhisattva, even if Tang Seng is killed, Sun Wukong will only end up more miserable.

Therefore, even if Sun Wukong in the TV series was tortured by Tang Seng repeatedly with a mantra, he didn't dare to complain, so he could only be obedient, after all, Tang Seng was just a mortal, and the mantra recited by mortals may not be the most powerful, in case the effect of the Bodhisattva Buddha's mantra is stronger.

In the previous life, it seems that there are many pictures of Sun Wukong being tortured by the hoop, but they can't be compared with what I saw with my own eyes, Sun Wukong will not show mercy when he is doing evil in Xiong Shanjun's stomach, at that time, I didn't see how Xiong Shanjun panicked, but the Bodhisattva's tight mantra thought, Xiong Shanjun reacted violently like a live fish thrown into the oil pot, and the power of this torture instrument can be imagined.

I jokingly said, "What, you, Monkey King, are you afraid of that small circle?"

Sun Wukong shook his head and said: "If the spell is only known by the master, the apprentice is willing to be convinced, but Rulai and Guanyin can also recite the mantra, if the apprentice wears a hoop, wouldn't he be subject to Lingshan." ”

Yes, it is precisely for this reason that I have been reluctant to put a hoop on Sun Wukong, I hope that what can restrain Sun Wukong is our trust in each other, not an external torture instrument.

After a few more simple conversations, I lay down and rested, different from yesterday's reversal of sleep, although it was late at night, but I tossed and turned for a long time and could not sleep, my mind was messy about the past and present life, and I didn't know when I fell asleep.

Early in the morning, I asked Sun Wukong to pack his luggage, arrange his horses, and prepare to continue westward.

More than 200 monks sent me out of the Black Wind Mountain, and before leaving, I told them a lot of words to persuade them to practice hard, and as for how to practice again in the future, it was their own choice.

Re-on the road, the spring is getting stronger, the peaches and apricots are gorgeous, the purple and red, looking at the flowers and plants all the way, it is easy to walk. After walking for a few days in a row, this day came to the evening, and I saw a small village in front of me in the distance, and it seemed that even if I couldn't find someone willing to stay overnight tonight, I could go to the hotel for one night.

"Wukong, you see that there are villages and towns close to each other, let's go to the night to sleep, how about we go again tomorrow?"

"Master wait, apprentice take a look first. ”

After speaking, Sun Wukong used his fiery eyes to look into the distance, according to Sun Wukong, his eyes can be used as telescopes, magnifying glasses and even perspective glasses.

Except for these tangible things. These fiery eyes can also see some invisible breaths, the evil aura of demons, the immortal aura of gods and Buddhas, and even the blessings and bad luck of ordinary people.

Looking into the distance, Sun Wukong seemed to see something interesting, smiled, and then said: "Master, please go, it must be a good family in a village, and you can spend the night." ”

Since Sun Wukong has said so, this place must be a problem, I urged Ryoma to walk towards the village.

As he walked to the intersection in front of the village, a boy of about fifteen or sixteen years old walked over, wearing a blue thin jacket wrapped in cotton cloth, carrying a bag and holding an umbrella, with trousers tied up on his legs, and wearing a pair of thick-soled three-eared straw sandals.

I don't know the north side of the south, but I know from the east, and there is not a single family left the village to the east.

The young man strode over with a meteor, although he was not very brightly dressed, but he walked very imposingly, like a character with a background.

The young man frowned slightly, and did not look up at people, but walked in a hurry, as if he had something urgent to go out for.

It didn't take a few steps for the boy to get close to us, and just when the boy and Sun Wukong passed by, Sun Wukong suddenly reached out and grabbed the boy.

Hey, you monkey, why are you so rude today, you didn't see people in a hurry, what are you doing with people, you look so ugly, and then scare people and children.

Grabbed the young man, Sun Wukong said: "Where are you going?" Let me ask you, where is this place?"

The young man tried to break free, and shouted in his mouth, "You are the only one walking on the road, and you have no one else to ask, do you have to ask me?"

Hey, there's something wrong with this kid, there's something wrong!

Generally speaking, when you are walking, what should be the reaction when you are suddenly pulled by someone, you will generally be very surprised to see who it is, why you want to pull yourself, and even subconsciously say what are you doing, what are you pulling me for?

When you learn that the person who pulled you is to ask for directions, if you are really in a hurry, you must blurt out and answer, after all, you are still in a hurry to go.

But instead of answering, the kid actually asked three rhetorical questions in a row, which was abnormal.

Besides, if ordinary people saw a monster like Sun Wukong, they would have jumped away in fright, but this kid didn't have a trace of fear.

Also, although Sun Wukong has a reckless temperament, he has been with me for half a year, and after such a long period of quality education, I can guarantee that this monkey will never make such a rude act against others.

What does this mean, hum, you kid is either a god or a monster, in short, you are not human!
