On the border of the Tang Dynasty, in the col near Guazhou, it was already sunset, and the clouds were reddish, Master Xuanzang sat on a flat stone for a long time and chanted the scriptures, and suddenly footsteps sounded, and the mage opened his eyes to see that he was a young man.

"In the Shipantuo of the Lower Gaochang Kingdom, dare to ask where the mage wants to go?" the young man asked respectfully.

It seems that this Hu man is quite respectful of the Buddha, and the master relaxed a lot, got up and said, "Poor monk Xuanzang, I want to cross the Guazhou Pass tonight." ”

"Thousands of miles of yellow sand outside Guazhou Pass, it is not easy to get lost in it, there are always a few people who die of hunger and thirst in the desert every year, you and I are on the same road, it is better to walk with a companion, I have walked this road more than a dozen times, you go with me, there is no danger to you. Shi Pantuo said.

When Xuanzang heard the thousands of miles of yellow sand outside the pass, his face turned pale with fright, and then he heard that the young man was willing to go with him, and he had walked more than a dozen times, and he was immediately overjoyed: "So good, there is a little benefactor who takes the poor monk through this dangerous place." ”

The young man smiled and said, "It's just a way, I don't know if the mage can chant the scriptures?"

"The poor monk became a monk at the age of thirteen, studied Buddhism for 14 years, and has a good reputation in my Tang Chang'an, I don't know if this can be regarded as a recitation?" was asked if he could recite the scriptures, and one sentence diluted the joy on Xuanzang's face, and he was still very confident when he talked about chanting.

"It turned out to be a high monk. Shi Pantuo said: "Master doesn't know, I Gaochang country up to the king, down to the ordinary people, all the people of a country believe in Buddhism, my father is looking forward to the day I can become a monk who has attained the Tao, but I worship the Buddha everywhere, either say that I do not have a wisdom root, or say that I have not broken the red dust, and what is even more angry is that some people say that I am too murderous, where do I have murderous intentions? There is no temple to accept me. ”

Such a statement is either said by fellow Taoists, or he has not been given enough money for incense, and as for whether the murderous intent is too heavy, the Venerable Master is a young monk and has worked hard to study the Dharma, so how can he understand the things of ordinary things? and he will not meet each other, so naturally he will not be able to see it.

As for Huigen, let him read a few volumes of scriptures to see it, but unfortunately the master has been well-read since he was a child, and he has never forgotten the ten lines at a glance, and the scriptures of Theravada Buddhism have long been read by him, so naturally he no longer needs to carry the scriptures with him to drag down the journey of learning the scriptures.

"Are you willing to apprentice now?" Xuanzang asked, passing the customs is imminent, in order to successfully walk through thousands of miles of yellow sand, it is naturally more secure to have a relationship with this young man who knows the way.

Besides, an apprentice, although he has never accepted an apprentice, but with his own Buddhist attainments, it is only a matter of time before he becomes a world-famous monk. (PS: In history, there is indeed such a thing as Tang Seng accepting Shi Pantuo as an apprentice in Guazhou, and Wukong must be Tang Seng's apprentice?

"Master is above, be worshiped by the apprentice!" This Hu man was also quite straightforward, and when he heard that Xuanzang intended to accept apprentices, he kowtowed and bowed.

Okay, the master was happy in his heart, and pretended to say solemnly: "For the teacher's name Xuanzang, in Chang'an Dajue Temple to place an order, if you want to find a teacher, you can go to Dajue Temple to find a teacher, for the teacher is to go to the Western Regions Tianzhu Kingdom, the Holy Land of the Spirit Mountain of my Buddha to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures." ”

According to the legend of my Gaochang monks, Lingshan is no less than 100,000 miles away, and the road is difficult and there are many demons along the way, so Master should be more careful on the road. Shi Banda said and stood up directly.

Before he was ordained, the disciple stood up on his own, so much so that he was a little angry and didn't understand what the other party was saying. Although Master Xuanzang was unhappy in his heart, he was a little embarrassed to accept disciples for the first time, but he said solemnly on his face: "To be ordained for the teacher, the name of the law is called the Five Precepts, which means to quit greed, quit ignorance, quit hatred, rob sex, and quit killing." From now on, we need to devote ourselves to the Buddha, and we must not let Buddhism be abandoned because of the urging of the non-acting teacher. ”

"Quit eating, then don't you starve?" called Shi Pantuo.

"The precept of Buddhism's greed and hatred is the obsession of obsession!"

"Five precepts, disciples follow the master's teachings!" said the five precepts, saying that the scholars were together, bowed to the master, and jokingly stuck out their tongues and made a grimace.

Xuanzang, who looked at the long hair messy, frowned, and said: "I have traveled far away for my teacher, and I have not brought a razor with me, and after you and I have arrived in Gaochang Kingdom, we will find a temple to shave for you." ”

An indecent ordination was completed in the womb of the two of them, and the sky gradually darkened.

Xuanzang took out some dry food that he was reluctant to throw away and divided it into some of the five precepts, but unfortunately the five precepts did not appreciate it at all, and took out a handful of dried meat from the small crotch bag he carried with him to eat it in a big gulp, and he also had to share some of Xuanzang, which frightened the mage to be busy chanting "Amitabha!"

"Buddhist disciples are not allowed to eat meat!" the Venerable Master rebuked to the Five Precepts after reciting Amitabha.

"The five precepts that Master just said didn't say that you are not allowed to eat meat!" After the five precepts were finished, I didn't want to divide Xuanzang anymore, and it was very refreshing to eat alone.

The poor mage's dry food was already dry and hard, almost cutting his throat, and it was difficult to swallow, and he was so angry with the newly accepted apprentice that he lost his appetite, and he secretly calculated in his heart that next time he accepted an apprentice, he would have to say a few more precepts, and get eight precepts, nine precepts and ten precepts.

The sky was completely dark, the moon had not yet come out, and the two of them categorically could not wait for the moon to come out and the moonlight shined on the earth before leaving, so it was very easy to be discovered by the guards patrolling inside and outside the beacon tower and the gate, and the two of them resolutely hurried to the night.

In this way, the master will be miserable, he has not eaten a drop of water for a day, and he has not eaten at night because of the anger in his heart and the dry food is unpalatable, and he has not felt it when he meditates, and when he runs at this time, he will soon lose his strength.

"Why are you running so slowly!" the little master of the five precepts said impatiently.

"I'm tired of being a teacher, take a break!"

"Do you want to rest? You can't pass the pass in the morning, do you want to wait another day? You don't go to the west to worship the Buddha?"

As soon as he said that he would go to the West Heaven, Xuanzang came to the spirit.

"The apprentice is right, let's hurry up, and we have to pass the customs no matter what. ”

Although Wujie's body is thin and weak, but because of the perennial walking at the border, and walking at night, the footsteps are brisk and the endurance is amazing, where can Xuanzang catch up, the two are getting closer and closer to the beacon tower, Wujie has to stay a little and wait for the mage, the sky has been covered with the white belly of the fish before the moon rises, tonight is the night of the full moon, if the moon comes out, the two will definitely not be able to pass the most heavily guarded first beacon.

"Ah!" Xuanzang exclaimed, but he tripped over the stone, and as soon as this cry came out, the two of them secretly screamed at the same time.

The little monk of the Five Rings didn't care about the master's life or death, and ran away quickly, and soon disappeared into the night.

'Whoosh!' The sound of breaking the air came, and then Xuanzang felt a pain in his leg, and when he reached out to touch it, he turned out to be a handful of slimy liquid, which was clearly blood, which could shock Master Xuanzang, and immediately shouted: "The general spares his life!
