Text Chapter 107: Eight precepts, be careful of overturning
Sure enough, they didn't go far, and the master and apprentice faintly heard the sound of drums and cymbals.
Bajie said with a smile: "This is really when you are sleepy, someone will hand you a pillow! You listen to the sound of drums and cymbals, most of them are someone doing fasting, waka kaka! ”
Xuanzang said: "Oh, when I hear this voice, my saliva is flowing out! Hurry up!"
Wukong smiled: "Look at the master who is hungry, even saying this kind of thing, it's rare, it's rare." ”
Xuanzang said: "Don't talk nonsense, go quickly, go quickly!"
Xuanzang gave an order, and everyone hurried along the beach, and after a while, they saw a village, about four or five hundred households.
If you look closely, the village is built against the mountains and close to the river, and the environment is very wonderful. Well, to use a simple word to describe it, it is by the mountains and rivers.
Of course, the most important thing is that most of the buildings here are villa-type. In other words, this is a very typical local tyrant village.
In this group of villa-type buildings, there is a house that is brightly lit, and the sound of drums and cymbals comes from this house.
Walking to the door, Xuanzang said: "That's right, this is it, you wait for me at the door, I'll knock on the door." ”
Bajie said: "Master, I think it's better to let Brother Monkey go, he is an expert negotiator." ”
Xuanzang said: "Now it's a nightstay, not a monster, what does this have to do with negotiators?"
Bajie said: "This accommodation is a technical job, I'm worried that you won't be able to borrow it." ”
Xuanzang said hatefully: "I must borrow one to try today, no one is allowed to stop me, whoever stops me is in a hurry!"
Wukong smiled: "I know, I know, Master, you are the best, and you will definitely be able to succeed." In other words, what kind of people are you starving, and you still have time to talk nonsense about Bajie?"
Xuanzang said: "Well, it's still Wukong who speaks pleasantly." But speak first, and if they refuse to stay overnight, you must not spill it. ”
Wukong said: "Master, don't worry, these are ordinary people, and the situation is very different from that of Baolin Temple." If people are willing to stay, that's love, if they don't want to stay, that's their duty, and I will never scare them. ”
Xuanzang nodded slightly, then took off the hat, shook the shirt and came to the door of this house. He knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, an old man opened the door and met him. Xuanzang clasped his palms together and shouted: "Old donor, the poor monk has inquired." ”
The old man also saluted: "Monk, you are late." ”
Xuanzang Qi said: "What do you say?"
The old man said, "I've already eaten the meal." We are fasting, and if you come early, not only will you be full, but you will also have red envelopes. ”
Oops, it's late, hundreds of millions missed!
But Xuanzang really didn't come for the red envelope, so he replied: "Old donor, the poor monk is not here to grab the red envelope." ”
The old man was surprised: "It's not to grab the red envelope, why are you here?"
Xuanzang said: "I came from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures. If it's late today, just ask for a night and leave in the morning. ”
The old man said, "Little monk, you are a monk, you can't speak." The Eastern Soil Datang has traveled tens of thousands of miles to us. How could you be a single monk here!"
Xuanzang said: "The donor doesn't know, the poor monk still has three apprentices, but they also have some magical powers, and they are the ones who kept me here." ”
The old man said: "Since there are apprentices, why don't you come together? My house is spacious, and dozens of people can live in it." ”
Xuanzang said: "The old benefactor is so hospitable, the poor monk is really moved." However, my apprentices look a little infiltrating, so I'm afraid of scaring you. ”
The old man said: "Countrymen, how can they be so exquisite, you can quickly call them together." ”
Xuanzang was waiting for this sentence, so he shouted: "Apprentices, come here." ”
As soon as they heard that Master had done it, the three starving ghosts rushed through the door as if they were crazy.
The old man saw the fierce and vicious appearance of the three Wukong, and sat on the ground with a somersault, and exclaimed: "Emma, the monster is here!"
Xuanzang hurriedly stepped forward to help the old man and explained: "Don't be afraid, the old benefactor, although my three apprentices are vicious, they are evil and good. ”
The old man said: "The three high-ranking disciples are too ugly." ”
Xuanzang said: "Although it is ugly, it has the ability to subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger." ”
The old man seemed to believe it or not, and was supported by Xuanzang and walked slowly inside.
But it was said that Wukong and the others tied their horses and put down their luggage, and they saw several monks chanting.
Bajie shouted loudly: "Where's the steamed bun!
The monks turned their heads to see the appearance of the three of them, they didn't recite the scriptures, and the wooden fish didn't knock anymore, and they scattered together, and the three of Wukong laughed.
Xuanzang and the old man heard the movement and hurried over to take a look.
It's okay not to look at it, but at a glance, Xuanzang's nose is crooked.
He shouted, "What did I say just now? Do you three take my words as a deaf ear?"
Ah, it's troublesome again! The three of them quickly shut up.
The old man said: "It's not about it, it's not about it." This fast is almost done, and when it is scattered, let it be dispersed. ”
Wukong pulled a chair and let Xuanzang sit, and the old man also sat down opposite.
Bajie said: "Since the fasting is over, is there any leftover fast?"
The old man said, "It's a little, but it's not enough to eat." ”
Wukong said: "It's okay, it's not about it, we also brought some ingredients ourselves, and asked to borrow them from the kitchen." ”
At this moment, an old man walked out of the middle gate and asked, "Where did the monster come from to break into my good house?"
The old man before explained: "Brother, don't shout. They weren't monsters, they were a few monks who were passing by and spending the night. ”
He turned to Xuanzang again and introduced: "This is what my brother Chen saw, and I am what my brother Chen heard." ”
Chen said, "Since they are monks on the road, they should be invited to fast." ”
Chen said: "Brother, there is not much left of fasting, not enough to eat." ”
Chen saw it: "If you don't have enough to eat, ask the servants to do it immediately! Not only must you take care of the fasting food, but you must also take care of the food." People are guests from afar, and they should be hospitable, and they should not fall into the reputation of my Chenjiazhuang. ”
Chen Suowen hurriedly replied: "What my brother said is that I will call someone to do it immediately." ”
Bajie said: "Two old donors, my sausage is very big." ”
Chen saw it and said: "Don't hide it from a few elders, my two Chen brothers are the richest people in this radius of hundreds of miles, no matter how much you can eat today, the two of us are not ambiguous." ”
Chen said, "I wonder how many elders can eat?"
Bajie said: "Then steam two stones of rice first." ”
The Chen brothers were taken aback and directly wondered if they had heard it wrong.
Chen said: "Little old man, my ears are a little back, dare to ask the elder to say it again?"
Bajie said: "Two stones." ”
Chen heard this: "Two stones! That's more than two hundred catties, could it be that the elder belongs to a pig?"
Xuanzang is also a rare old blush, and when he meets such an apprentice who can eat, he really can't hang up his face.
Bajie said: "The main reason is that my stomach is a little bigger, I eat one and a half stones by myself, and I have almost survived, if I want to manage enough, then it will be at least two and a half stones." ”
Chen saw it and exclaimed: "Strange man! Strange man! I will definitely ask you to take care of it today! Second brother, quickly order someone to steam three stones of rice first, and there will be no shortage of food." ”
Chen Suowen hurriedly ordered the child servant to cook fasting, and after a while, news came from the kitchen that the steamer was not big enough, and it could only steam two stones at a time.
Chen Suowen urged: "What else is there for this little thing, steam two stones first, hurry up." ”
After another half an hour, the fasting offerings were finally ready, and the Chen brothers invited a few elders to take their seats. Bajie and Wujing were already hungry, and suddenly there was a gust of wind and clouds.
Xuanzang and Wukong don't have much appetite, but they are full, and Bajie and Wujing seem to be a little unsatisfied.
Chen said: "The two elders will drink some tea mats first, and there will be a stone in a while." ”
After a while, the offering came again. The two of them ate violently again, and this time they were finally happy.
The Chen brothers couldn't help but glance at Bajie's stomach, thinking to themselves where did all the 300 catties of food go? If this product is to be an anchor, then the reward is absolutely a bargain!
After the fasting was over, the child servants stepped forward to accept the guy, and Xuanzang bowed down to thank him. Chen saw and said, "Elders don't need to be polite. Our two brothers have always respected the Buddha and monks, and you have come from afar, so you should be hospitable. ”
Xuanzang said: "Speaking of which, we are still the same sect, and the hometown of the poor monk is also called Chenjiazhuang, which is really a coincidence." ”
Chen saw and said, "The elder is also surnamed Chen?"
Xuanzang said: "That's the lay surname of a poor monk." By the way, old benefactor, what did you just do fasting?"
Chen saw: "It's a pre-meditation fast. ”
Bajie laughed and said: "This old benefactor is too good at laughing! If you want to lie, you should also lie to those laymen, why did you run to the monk and panic." ”
Chen saw it and said, "It's really a pre-cultivation fast! How could the little old man lie about such a thing?"
Bajie shook his head and said, "I've been a monk for so many years, and I haven't heard of any pre-cultivation of death!"
Wukong also said: "+1!"
Wujing said: "+2!"
Xuanzang said: "The poor monk has been a monk for more than 20 years, and I have never heard of it. ”
Chen saw it: "Alas, this matter is a long story. I am 63 years old and my second brother is 58 years old. Both of us brothers are old children, and we are both born to Na's concubines. Mine is a daughter, who is only eight years old this year, and she is called a weighed gold. ”
Bajie said: "You have become a refinement?
Chen saw it and said, "The elder laughed. I have no children because I am old, so I do a lot of good deeds, build bridges and roads, build temples and pagodas, give alms to monks, and do everything. And I also made an account, and by the year I gave birth to my daughter, I had used exactly thirty pounds of gold. Thirty catties is a scale, so it is named Chen a scale of gold. ”
Xuanzang sighed: "The old donor is really religious, and he has done so many good deeds, which is really a good reward." ”
Wukong said: "Thirty catties of gold in exchange for a daughter, your daughter is so expensive." ”
Bajie said: "What about your second brother? Is it also a daughter?"
Chen said: "Mine is a son, nine years old this year, called Chen Guanbao, who was also born to a concubine. ”
Bajie said: "Just because you are full of guests and dinners, so you are named Chen Guansa?"
Chen said: "Wrong, wrong. My family supports Grandpa Guan Sheng, and I am the son who begged Grandpa Guan Sheng, so I named it Chen Guanbao. ”
Bajie exclaimed: "This Guan Gong's fame is really big, it has spread tens of thousands of miles away!"
Wukong ignored Bajie's surprise and asked, "Old man, we are discussing the pre-cultivation of the dead, how did you get your son and daughter here?"
Chen said, "This pre-meditation is done for my daughter and his son. ”
Wukong said: "Could it be that the two children were playful and fell into the river and drowned?"
Chen saw: "No, no, they are not dead. But it's dying. ”
Wukong said: "Are they all terminally ill?"
Chen saw: "No, wow. The two children eat, sleep, and play. ”
Wukong said: "That's not right! Since the two children are healthy, why are they dying?"
As if he had discovered a new continent, Bajie shouted, "I know, I know!"
Wukong Qi said: "What do you know?"
Bajie said: "It's autumn now, and winter is not far away. Didn't I say some time ago that this winter is the peak of efforts to create man? It is estimated that this Zhuangzi is overcrowded, and some defective products must be humanely destroyed in advance, so as to make room for the winter man-making plan!"
