Chapter 432: The Little Man's Struggle
A habit is a habit that is hard to change. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
But Xuanzang proved with practical actions that there is no habit that cannot be changed.
What is face and mouthwash? Can it help him get extra points for surviving in the wild?
From bright clothes to shelter from the wind and rain, simple and practical are valuable.
The cruel fact that nature uses natural selection helped Xuanzang understand an important truth in a very short period of time.
Giving up the small self and fulfilling the big self is the most fucked up and unfair in the world.
Why do you want me to learn the scriptures?
Just because I'm the most handsome among the monks?
Xuanzang walked and walked, and cursed the eighteen generations of Guanyin's ancestors in his heart.
However, Xuanzang thought about it, who would be the ancestor of Guanyin?
It's really a question worth exploring.
How interesting, the gods can't jump out of the stones.
Xuanzang continued to walk, the shoes he brought from Chang'an City had long been worn, and he used the bark to roll into thin strands, wrap around the shoes, and wrap them one by one. The craftsmanship is not very good, it looks really vulgar, but the emphasis is on practicality.
There is no road ahead, and the road under your feet is cut off.
In front of me is a bottomless existence, far from the other side, which has only been read in essays, called the abyss.
Xuanzang moved cautiously, poked his head and glanced down, just one glance, Xuanzang's body trembled, and he fell backwards as he read Amitabha.
It's scary, how can there be such a scary place in this world. It is higher than the wall of Li Er's family, and if you fall down, you will not be crushed.
Xuanzang looked around, and it seemed that there was no other way to bypass the abyss in front of him.
Xuanzang, whose willpower has always been weak, finally made a choice that he had been unwilling to make.
Go home.
It's better to get up in Chang'an, eat two big meat buns in the morning, drink a bowl of soybean milk ground by Lao Wang next door, and give verses to the little monk who doesn't know the world.
Although he didn't get the scriptures, Li Er wouldn't cut off his head, right?
It's a big deal to talk a little more, talk about karma, talk about the reincarnation of the Heavenly Dao, and praise Li Er, telling him that the world of the Tang Dynasty will last forever under his leadership.
What is rich for no more than three generations, oh, no, it is the number of qi, it is all a lie, the gods have fallen into the mortal during your reign, isn't this a sign of the eternal existence of the Tang Dynasty?
Xuanzang sat on the ground very unsightly, buttoning his exposed toes, thinking in his heart, he was serious and sanctimonious and said something nice to him, there should be no problem, right?
Well, that's it. But what we need to worry about now is not whether we will be able to get the scriptures or whether we will be beheaded.
But...... How do I go back?
This road, it is enough to go through it once, and if you go it again, it is self-inflicted.
Xuanzang took out a wild fruit from the simple bag he had brought, and ate it in a big gulp, weighing the price he would have to pay for going back.
At this time, in the bottomless abyss, there was a huge white figure, slowly wriggling, so clear in the pitch-black abyss.
Xuanzang sometimes locks his eyebrows, sometimes pouts. Whether you continue to move forward or give up learning from the experience and return to Chang'an, it seems that there is a possibility of hanging up at any time.
"Tick!"
Suddenly, a viscous liquid fell from the sky and landed on Xuanzang's shoulder, Xuanzang touched his shoulder, it was slimy, put it under his nose and sniffed, and it was a little smelly.
"It's raining?" Xuanzang muttered, subconsciously raised his head, and a shadow covered the sky overhead.
Antlers, hump heads, rabbit eyes, pure white scales, and long, windless white whiskers......
What kind of monster is this?
Xuanzang clearly saw that the monster above his head, the eyes that were a few points bigger than the lantern, had a playful and indifferent color.
Xuanzang quickly got up and ran forward desperately. He didn't shout, he didn't smash the half-eaten wild fruit out of his hand, these actions would take up his time to escape.
He didn't think that a half-bitten wild fruit could cause any damage to this monster, not to mention that the monster was hundreds of meters high in the sky, and Xuanzang didn't have that strength.
Life is a stingy ghost who is used to giving away setbacks as a grown-up.
Xuanzang did not have the protagonist's aura on his body, the monster was enraged by his actions, and exhaled two white gases from his nose, which seemed to melt the space, and as soon as he lowered his head, Xuanzang was held in his mouth.
"Ah!!h
began to beg for mercy and call for help again, maybe it was really fateful, the monster was about to eat Xuanzang, but suddenly asked more: "Where did you come from, a monk?" ”
Monsters can talk? Is this about to become a sperm?
Xuanzang was shocked by the strangeness of nature for a long time, and the monster was impatient and wanted to swallow it when he opened his mouth.
Xuanzang shouted: "I'm from the Eastern Tang Dynasty." ”
The monster's movements froze, and the lantern's big eyes flashed with surprise, and asked, "Your name is Chen Xuanzang?" ”
When Xuanzang heard this, he was overjoyed, he was already so famous? Even this monster knows itself.
"Yes, yes, I'm Chen Xuanzang."
"Poof." As soon as the monster's mouth loosened, Xuanzang fell heavily to the ground.
"Master Guanyin ordered me to wait here for the person who took the scriptures, also called Chen Xuanzang, it must be you." The monster said.
Xuanzang got up from the ground with a disgraced face, stared at the monster that almost covered the sky, his throat rolled, and asked, "Can you fly?" ”
There was no threat to his life, Xuanzang began to look at this monster carefully, the streamlined body was flawless, and the pure white scales reflected the light slightly.
Is this, a dragon?
The monster that looked like a dragon snorted, and seemed to glance at Xuanzang with disdain, and said, "What's so difficult about driving the wind and clouds?" ”
Xuanzang rubbed his palms and smiled, but he was wishful thinking in his heart.
"I'm going to the West Heaven, you can send me there." Xuanzang suggested.
After hearing this, Bai Long snorted and said, "It's really hateful that you, a human being, are trying to take advantage of opportunism. ”
Xuanzang was startled, hurriedly waved his hand, and said: "No, no, I'm just worried about taking up your time, since you're not in a hurry, then let's walk over slowly, it's just ......"
Bai Long glared at him, feeling that this monk was really too dishonest, and asked, "Just what?" ”
"It's just that you're too big, and walking on the road will scare people." Xuanzang kindly reminded.
The white dragon shook his body, and the huge dragon body disappeared in an instant, turning into a handsome man in white, standing in front of Xuanzang.
"Let's go." The handsome and dashing white dragon glanced at Xuanzang and walked towards the abyss.
Xuanzang shouted: "Hey, wait, how can I get over." ”
"What a troublesome monk." The white dragon grabbed Xuanzang's arm and walked towards the abyss.
Xuanzang was so frightened that he stiffened, grabbed the white dragon, and the white dragon took him step by step to the other side of the abyss.
Xuanzang forgot how he got there.
Bailong is personable, Xuanzang is like a refugee, the two are walking in the deep mountains and old forests, such a combination is really a bit strange.
After walking for a few days and nights, Xuanzang shouted to rest every once in a while, and Bailong was annoyed, but he was helpless.
Xuanzang is a human being, and if he is a human being, he will be tired, sleepy, need to rest, and need to eat.
Walk, go, go, go.
Met a lot of little monsters along the way, Xuanzang walked in fear, watching the white dragon easily solve these little monsters, and comforted himself.
It's good to have him, otherwise how would I live the rest of my life.
is just the most ordinary little monster, and if you encounter it, there is only one way to die.
"Xiaobai, the mountain in front of you is so strange, you see, that mountain looks like five fingers." Xuanzang stood on the grass, his palms half-covered under his eyebrows, looking at the mountain peaks in front of him.
Bai Long's eyelids jumped, and he said: "Bald, I warn you, don't call me Xiaobai, I have a name, my name is Long Aotian." ”
"Oh, I see, Xiaobai." Xuanzang didn't listen to it at all, and said: "Let's go over and take a look, that mountain is really magnificent, I have traveled all over the country, and I have never seen such a peak." ”
The white dragon resisted the urge to slap him to death, and didn't bother to correct him.
The two soon came to the foot of the mountain, and the white dragon's face changed abruptly, and he said, "There is a demonic spirit!" ”
Xuanzang listened to him and said, "Are you talking about yourself?" ”
Bai Long ignored him, his eyes were like a regular, and he looked at the surrounding space inch by inch.
A figure suddenly came from afar, and towards them was an old man with gray hair.
The old man came closer, and Xuanzang didn't notice that the white dragon's body behind him was a little trembling, and his eyes were frightened.
Xuanzang folded his palms and recited a Buddha name, and said, "Hello donor, dare to ask where this place is?" ”
The old man smiled and said, "This place is called the Five Elements Mountain, and there is a divine monkey pressed under the mountain. ”
Xuanzang was stunned for a moment, and said in his heart, there is a monkey under the mountain, what does it have to do with me?
The old man looked past Xuanzang, looked at Bailong, and said, "This little brother doesn't seem to be in a good state, he must be sick." ”
Xuanzang didn't look back, and said with a smile: "How could he be sick." ”
The old man asked, "Where are you going?" ”
Xuanzang said: "West Heaven Great Leiyin Temple." ”
The old man stared at Xuanzang and asked, "What are you going to do there?" ”
Xuanzang suddenly looked compassionate and said, "Learn from the scriptures to purify all sentient beings." ”
The old man smiled and said: "Why should all the beings of Pudu learn from the scriptures, the monk is in good shape." ”
Xuanzang asked, "What should I do?" ”
The old man suddenly pointed to the sky, and then to the earth, and said: "All living beings are fed in the sky, if there are difficulties in the world, you and I should feed back to the heavens and the earth, do the monks agree with the old man's words?" ”
Xuanzang thought for a while and said, "There is some truth, but the world is so big, how can I get it with my own strength." This kind of major event to save the common people should be handed over to those immortals. ”
Xuanzang turned his head and said to Bailong, who was in a wrong state: "Let's go." ”
Bai Long walked over, glanced at the old man cautiously, and said, "Let's go." ”
The old man didn't move away, and said, "Monk, there is something wrong with what you said, if you don't give it a try, how do you know if you can save it?" ”
Xuanzang said: "Learning from the scriptures to purify all sentient beings is also a great creation, why pursue the big and small? ”
The old man smiled and asked, "There is a divine monkey under him, why didn't the monk save it?" ”
Belch......
Xuanzang looked at the foot of the mountain and said, "Save, of course you have to save, saving people is my Buddha's mercy." ”
"Xiaobai, let's go save people." Xuanzang said, and walked towards the foot of the mountain.
The white dragon followed behind Xuanzang, like a follower.
Bai Long walked a few steps, suddenly stopped, then turned around and asked, "Donor Gao's surname?" ”
"Divine treasure."
"Divine treasure? It's a strange name. Xuanzang muttered to himself and continued to walk towards the foot of the mountain.
When Bai Long heard this name, his body trembled violently, his face was incredulous, and he said, "Taishang Laojun!" ”
Xuanzang stopped again and asked, "Taishang Laojun?" Who is it? It's a familiar name. ”
The white dragon had a black line and said: "Taoist Sanqing, Yuqing Taishang Laojun!" ”
"Oh!" Xuanzang suddenly realized, stared at the old man, and said, "You are an immortal!" ”
Taishang Laojun nodded and said, "I am an immortal." ”
"You are an immortal, why don't you go and save the heavens and the earth? Instead, he taught me a monk to do something as difficult as picking up stars. Xuanzang was unhappy in his heart, and said in his heart, are these immortals all idle and painful, and they have nothing to do in the lower realm to find them mortals to have fun?
Taishang Laojun shook his head and said, "I can't save it." ”
Xuanzang asked rhetorically: "Then I will save it?" ”
Taishang Laojun still shook his head: "You can't save it." ”
Xuanzang came to the fire and said, "You immortal is really interesting." ”
Taishang Laojun didn't explain, walked up, and said, "Come on, come on, I'll go with you to save the monkey, and then accompany you to the West Heaven." ”
Xuanzang didn't know what to do, but he couldn't disobey the words of the gods, so he had to bite the bullet and walk to the foot of the mountain with him.
The three of them came to the bottom of the mountain, and sure enough, a golden retriever monkey was crushed at the bottom of the mountain.
Xuanzang stared at the monkey, and the monkey stared at the stones on the ground, as if he didn't notice the three of them.
Xuanzang said: "Is this monkey deaf?" ”
Taishang Laojun looked at the monkey and said, "Great Sage, it's time to wake up." ”
The monkey slowly raised his head, his eyes vacant, without a hint of brilliance.
Taishang Laojun patted Xuanzang, pointed to the peak, and said, "There is a yellow talisman there, you go and uncover it." ”
Xuanzang's pupils contracted and said, "How can I go up?" ”
Taishang Laojun looked at the white dragon, the white dragon immediately understood, grabbed Xuanzang, and the next moment he had risen from the ground and flew towards the mountain peak, Xuanzang's cry floated between the peaks.
Xuanzang and the white dragon went up, Taishang Laojun stared at the monkey under the mountain, and said: "Great Sage, the space here is extremely unstable, this is our last chance." ”
The monkey's pupils gradually brightened, and he tilted his head to look at his surroundings and said, "This is your plan?" Well? Together, they crushed me down the hill again? ”
Taishang Laojun shook his head and sighed: "If you don't do this, you won't be able to confuse him." ”
"My grandson believes in you for the time being, if you want to play tricks, my grandson will be the first to let you go." Sun Wukong's eyes showed a cold light.
Taishang Laojun smiled and said: "Now that you and I are in the same boat, the Great Sage is too worried. ”
The monkey looked up at the mountain peak and said, "What's the matter with the golden cicada?" ”
Taishang Laojun said: "After all, cultivation is not enough, and it is normal to lose yourself in the chaos." ”
The monkey said, "Let him lift the seal, time is running out." ”
Taishang Laojun nodded, looked up, Xuanzang had already stood firm with the help of the white dragon, and was reaching out to touch the seal. (To be continued.) )
