Text Chapter 45: Do you want to be a cheap brother?

Wukong raised his head in the clouds, and in an instant, he arrived at the purple bamboo forest of Luojia Mountain.

The heavens entered the inner courtesy, and the Bodhisattva ordered Wukong to come in. The Bodhisattva said: "Why do you come to me again if you don't protect Tang Seng from going west?"

Wukong knew that these righteous gods liked to play with these false heads, and he didn't pursue them, but just replied: "Bodhisattva, my master has taken in another apprentice in Gao Laozhuang, and now he has arrived at the Liusha River, and he can't get through, so he can only ask the Bodhisattva to take action." ”

The Bodhisattva said, "There's a water monster there?"

Wukong said: "Exactly, exactly. We caught him three times and couldn't catch him. ”

The Bodhisattva said: "Are you reckless and unwilling to say the words of the Tang monk?"

Wukong said: "No, will you meet your own people again?"

The Bodhisattva said: "The monster of the quicksand river was originally the general of the curtain in front of the Heavenly Court Lingxiao Palace, but he was exiled to the lower realm only because he violated the rules of heaven. Later, he was enlightened by me, and he waited there to be a man who would return to the scriptures. ”

Wukong said: "I met a junior brother again after a long time, but now he hides at the bottom of the quicksand river and refuses to come out, but what can he do?"

The Bodhisattva said, "What's so difficult about this, I'll just go with you again." Wukong thanked him again and again, and the Bodhisattva took Hui'an Walker and went with him to the Quicksand River.

When he arrived above the quicksand river, Hui'an shouted loudly: "Wujing, Wujing! The scripture learner has arrived, so don't come out quickly and return to obedience!"

As soon as the monster heard the word 'enlightenment', he knew that the Bodhisattva had arrived. He hurriedly flew to the surface of the water and saw the Bodhisattva: "Disciple Sha Wujing sees Guanyin Bodhisattva." ”

The Bodhisattva said, "I told you to concentrate on waiting here for the person who has taken the scriptures, and now the person who has taken the scriptures has come." ”

Wujing said: "Where is the person who learned the scriptures?"

The Bodhisattva pointed his finger and said, "Isn't that the one sitting on the east bank?"

Wujing raised his eyes and saw Bajie, so he said: "I fought with that pig's head three times, and he never said a word to learn from the scriptures. ”

He pointed at Wukong again and said, "This monkey is the most obscene, and he is a yin at every turn." I can't get along with them, I'm not going. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "These two are just the disciples of the people who have learned the scriptures, and you are afraid of what they will do." The real person who learns the scriptures is the one who holds the Zen staff, and I will take you to meet him. ”

Wujing then put away the steel rod, tidied up his clothes again, jumped ashore, and saw Xuanzang said: "The disciple has offended the master with no eyes, and I ask the master to forgive the sin." ”

Xuanzang saw that although this Wujing was ugly, he still had some personal appearance, unlike the first two apprentices, one was a monkey head and the other was a pig's head. The most important thing is that he is not handsome yet!

The more he looked at it, the more he liked it, so he asked, "Are you really my apprentice?"

Wujing said: "The disciple has been enlightened by the Bodhisattva, and he has been waiting for you here for almost twenty years, of course, he really wants to be your disciple." ”

Xuanzang said: "In that case, Wukong, take the ring knife and shave his messy chicken nest." Wukong did as he said and shaved Wujing's head. After such a finishing, it looks more pleasing to the eye.

Wujing came over to worship the two senior brothers again, and they didn't know each other. The Bodhisattva instructed, "O Wujing, you take off the nine skulls hanging from your neck, and I have a red gourd here. In this way, your master will be able to cross the river in a Dharma boat. ”

Wujing took off the skull as he said, combined it with the Bodhisattva's red gourd to form a Dharma boat, and then asked the master to board the boat. Wukong and Ryoma fly on the right, Bajie and Wujing fly on the left, and protect the Dharma Boat in the middle.

Xuanzang sat alone on the boat, and sure enough, he felt stable and proper, with a very high-level VIP taste.

The road came and went, peaceful, and after a short time, they arrived at the West Bank. Xuanzang's whole body did not even splash a drop of water.

When the Bodhisattva saw Xuanzang coming ashore, he put away the treasure gourd, and the remaining nine skulls suddenly turned into nine yin winds, and they disappeared.

It is said that these nine skulls have existed for so long, why did they disappear as soon as they crossed the river after crossing Xuanzang, obviously this was also planned by the Buddha. Now that these skulls have fulfilled their historical mission, they have naturally disappeared.

So now the question arises: First, who are the scripture learners of these nine skulls? Second, among the nine dead scripture learners, are they from Dongtu? If so, how many Tang monks are Tang Xuanzang? Third, will Tang Xuanzang become a skull in the future to fulfill the next Tang monk?

In fact, these are world-class problems, and it is estimated that only a few people such as the Buddha know the answers.

Oops, how onto digress again!

Back to the point.

Seeing that everything was arranged, the Bodhisattva was about to take Hui'an back to the South China Sea, but he heard Xuanzang shouting: "Senior sister, it's rare to see each other once, why rush to leave? We should find a teahouse to sit and talk more." ”

When the Bodhisattva heard this, he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows, and shouted: "Sun Wukong, you have done a good thing!"

Wukong shuddered and hurriedly said, "It's none of my business!

Xuanzang said: "Senior sister, don't worry, this is really not about Wukong." This is what I saw in a strange book: "Crossing the Encyclopedia". You and I are so big brothers and sisters, is it so difficult for you to recognize me as a senior brother?"

The Bodhisattva's face turned blue, and he thought to himself: "This Tang Xuanzang, when he didn't know his origin before, he was respectful, but now once he knows, he doesn't take me seriously anymore." How can this cheap senior brother be so easy to be!"

Thinking of this, the Bodhisattva said softly: "Xuanzang, you are now reincarnated, and you are no longer a golden cicada, but a holy monk Tang Sanzang of the Tang Dynasty. Even if you succeed in learning the scriptures in the future and return to the Buddha's pre-chauffeur drive, you will only be my junior brother, not my senior brother. If you have to count your previous life, then what about my previous life as the Master of the Seven Buddhas, how should this account be calculated?"

Xuanzang said: "Ah, it turns out that my sister still has such a big background, wait for me to take a closer look at the book." As he spoke, he took out the book and flipped through it. The Bodhisattva didn't bother to talk to him anymore, so he took Hui'an to the west and went directly to the Buddha to complain.

When he arrived at Leiyin Temple, the Bodhisattva saw the Buddha: "Buddha, now that Tang Seng has received Sha Wujing, their five-person scripture study team has gathered." ”

The Buddha said: "Very good, very good, although there are some small twists and turns, but basically they are still in my calculations." ”

The Bodhisattva said: "But the disciple feels that this Tang Xuanzang is a little unreliable. ”

The Buddha smiled and asked, "How is an unreliable method?"

The Bodhisattva said: "This Xuanzang young man's temperament, before he learned the scriptures, he made his master Elder Faming angry to death, and I went to save him." Now after accepting the two apprentices of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, the three of them are colluded, embarrassed, and more and more scoundrels and naughty, not at all like a serious person who learns the scriptures. ”

The Buddha said: "You also know that this Tang Xuanzang's previous life was your second senior brother Jin Chanzi. But you have always been in the South China Sea and rarely go back to Lingshan, so you don't know much about the habits of this golden cicada. This golden cicada was originally a golden cicada on the Bodhi tree. Because of his extremely high understanding, he cultivated into a human body and became my apprentice. Since becoming my disciple, he has become a top student under me with his natural intelligence and unforgettable ability, and he has been the first in his homework every year, and I like him very much. However, this golden cicada, like the dragon descending Arhat, is a well-known thorn in my door, very naughty. He always deserted in class and didn't like to listen to me. Not only that, but he also likes to work against me. Back then, when I was talking about Mahayana Buddhism on the podium, when I talked about 338, he just calculated a result of 3327, and I was so angry that I vomited blood three times. The reason why I will expelle him from Buddhism and exile him to Dongtu to be reincarnated on the surface is because of my plan, and secondly, I hope that he can endure more hardships and change his naughty nature. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "How did he calculate a result of three three twenty-seven?"

The Buddha said, "He took a clever approach and combined the Mahayana and Hinayana teachings. ”

When the Bodhisattva heard this, he suddenly remembered that Xuanzang had promised Tang King Li Shimin that he could increase his life expectancy by twenty-seven years, and couldn't help but think in his heart: "This Tang Xuanzang is really a talent, and he can be so angry that the Buddha vomits blood." In this way, he is not wronged. Now looking back at this scripture-learning team, it is very flavorful. One is a first-class outcast of Buddhism, one is a first-class outcast of Taoism, and the other is a first-class hungry ghost in the Three Realms. The remaining two were also exiles who smashed cups and burned houses at every turn. This team is too weird!"

The Bodhisattva said, "You want him to endure hardships and change his naughty nature, but he doesn't look like he is repentant now." Some time ago, he also told his apprentices that he wanted to be an assassin-type mage with full strength. That Monkey King is not a fuel-efficient lamp, and last time he was clamoring for me to arrange a heroine for him. ”

The Buddha said, "Since he has this idea, then do whatever he wants." When he has risen a few more levels and has gathered enough strength points, you can ask Wei Tuo to lend him the Demon Slaying Pestle to use. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "I rarely talk to Veda and I, how can I call it." ”

The Buddha said: "The so-called marriage is destined, and it is also destined in the previous life." Talk once in a while, what's the matter? ”

The Bodhisattva twisted and said, "Buddha, you are really! Obviously talking about that Tang Xuanzang, why did it come around my head inexplicably." ”

The Buddha smiled and said, "Venerable, you are looking at each other again." Okay, okay, let's not talk about it. Let's change the subject, didn't we mention Sun Monkey just now? He wants a heroine, but that's definitely not the case. As for the supporting actresses, a few can be arranged. After a while, how about you go to make a cameo with Fuxian and Manjushri?"

The Bodhisattva said: "This is the best! Since they are so stubborn, I just take this opportunity to punish them, especially that Tang Xuanzang!"

The Buddha said: "Tang Xuanzang is smart and tight, and he is not a woman, I'm afraid you can't punish him." But that's okay, I have a spell here that you can write down. If he is disobedient, you can curse him with this spell. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "What a mantra." ”

The Buddha said, "This mantra is so simple, just six words: 'Final command, go west.'" You just have to recite it a few times in front of him, and he will have a headache. ”

The Bodhisattva said: "The disciple has written it down, if he makes me angry in the future, I will recite this mantra to curse him! ”

The Buddha said: "It's just a collection of encyclopedias, not an encyclopedia, and there is not much information." It's not about it, it's not about it. ”

The Bodhisattva said: "Now that the team traveling to the west has gathered, it is basically carried out according to the plan of the Buddha. However, there were still two accidents along the way. In one accident, a traveler from another time and space broke into the filming scene, but he had already been chased away. There is also an accident that after Xuanzang subdued Zhu Wuneng, he met a Wuchao Zen master, and this Wuchao Zen master also passed on Xuanzang's Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra. ”

The Buddha said: "This Wuchao Zen Master is another great power of my Buddhism. He went to see Xuanzang, just to take this opportunity to spread the Buddhism of his faction. There is no need to delve into the details. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "Oh, there is another sect of Buddhism, but this is the first time I have known about it. ”

The Buddha said: "What kind of scripture did you say he passed on to Xuanzang?"

The Bodhisattva said, "Many Heart Sutras." ”

The Buddha said: "Heart Sutra, Heart Sutra, this is it! I also told you that the Bodhi Patriarch is the reincarnation of the ancient heart demon, and the previous life of this Wuchao Zen master was the ancient heart demon of Bodhi's successor. After he retired, he also attained positive results under the Bodhi tree and became a member of my Buddhist sect. However, he is not under my control, but has his own faction, just as Bodhi is not under the control of Hongjun Dao Ancestor. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "It turns out that my Buddhism still has such great power. ”

The Buddha said: "The foundation of my Buddhism is very deep, and it is by no means as simple as it seems on the surface. Otherwise, how could it be possible to compete with the Taoists? The matter of Wuchao Zen Master will end here, and you don't have to think about it too much. ”

The Bodhisattva said, "Disciple understands. ”
