Chapter Eighty-Five: The Westbound Road
Tang Seng walked out of the temple in a hurry, and Long Ling'er and Ah Xia hurriedly followed. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Tang Seng walked slowly, and Long Ling'er noticed that Tang Seng was holding a letter in his hand.
She didn't know that Tang Seng had become like this because of this letter.
The letter was a suicide note left to him by the old monk, which said about him.
When he was very young, Tang Seng often asked the old monk where he came from, and the old monk just pointed to the river outside the Jinshan Temple and smiled without speaking.
Tang Seng ran to the side of the river and stared at the river in a daze, all day long.
He thought it was the old monk who didn't want to tell him about his life experience, until he saw the suicide note left by the old monk and didn't know that he really came from that river.
The old monk said in his suicide note that he was sitting in a big basket and floated along the river, and the old monk saw him lying in the basket and wanted to fish him up, but at this time a gust of wind suddenly blew, and seeing that the big basket was about to turn over, a big red carp suddenly appeared with his head against the big basket, supporting the old monk to lift the basket.
The old monk thought that Tang Seng and the Buddha were related, so he left Tang Seng despite the opposition of others in the temple.
Because Tang Seng floated from the river, the old monk named him Jiang Liuer.
"Jiang Liu'er Jiang Liu'er, it turns out that this is the case. Tang Seng muttered, his eyes blank.
Unconsciously, Tang Seng came to the river where he was picked up in the old monk's suicide note.
Tang Seng threw the old monk's suicide note into the river and jumped towards the river.
"Since I came from this river, let me go back to this river over there. ”
Tang Seng closed his eyes and waited for a while without feeling the water on his body.
When he opened his eyes, he found that the white dragon that Long Ling'er had turned into was staring at him with wide eyes.
"What are you doing here?" Long Ling'er flicked her tail and threw Tang Seng back to the shore, turning into a human and glaring at her.
"I've been looking for a place since I was born, and since I've found it, it's time for me to leave where I came from. Tang Seng looked at the river, his eyes were full of sorrow.
"What bullshit comes from, people are constantly reincarnated in life and death, if everyone follows the so-called place of origin like you, then the whole world is not all suicidal!"
"They all come from my mother's belly, only I float from this river, they can snuggle up to their parents, and the only thing I can rely on is this river. ”
"What bullshit, although I don't understand what you're saying, but I know you're doing it wrong and deserve to be spurned!"
After Long Ling'er finished yelling at Tang Seng, she saw Tang Seng looking at her blankly, thinking that she had finally persuaded this stinky monk.
But after waiting for a while, she found that Tang Seng was still looking at herself blankly, she felt that something was wrong, and turned around to see a delicate face.
"Who are you?" Long Ling'er looked at the person who was dressed as an expressionless scholar with a folding fan in his hand, and asked suspiciously.
Ah Xia hurriedly pulled Long Ling'er, anxiously put her head on Long Ling'er's ear and whispered to her: "Look at the current atmosphere, this person is obviously the sworn brother of the stinky monk, and he is a saint today." ”
"Today's saint?" Long Ling'er glanced up and down at the person in front of him, "It's not like that." ”
Ah Xia was shocked, and hurriedly pulled Long Ling'er to kneel on the ground: "I'm sorry, Sister Ling'er, she has no mouth to hide, and I hope that the saint will forgive her sins!"
"No courtesy. Li Shimin raised his hand at Ah Xia, his eyes still on Tang Seng.
"Master, he's gone. ”
Li Shimin's words smashed on Tang Seng's heart like a boulder, and his originally hanging hand was clenched tightly.
"I'm sorry. ”
Ah Xia's mouth is big, if she heard it correctly, it seems that the saint said sorry to that stinky monk just now.
Ah Xia's eyes when she looked at Tang Seng also became complicated, although it was rumored that the two of them were sworn brothers, but according to the current situation, things didn't seem to be so simple.
"The past is over, and I hope Master can get a good burial. Tang Seng's clenched hand let go, and he stared at Li Shimin with cold eyes and said.
"That's for sure... But what about you, the master is gone, you are alone, do you still have to guard the Golden Light Temple?"
"Without Master, the Jinguang Temple is no longer the Jinguang Temple, and I will not stay there anymore. ”
"I had a dream a few days ago, and a god told me that in a place called Xitian, there is a salvation scripture, which can break all the suffering and evil in the world, I think..."
"I'm just a monk, not an emperor. Tang Seng turned around, "Saving the world or something, that's what a hero should do, I'm not a hero." ”
"The ancestors said, "You must be the one who learns the scriptures." Li Shimin sighed.
"I have a feeling that if we don't do what he says, people will be in a riot. ”
"So I said, human beings are really small creatures, and when they are ready to believe in something, they are like moths that see a candle flame, and even if they are burned to ashes by the fire, they rush to fly on it. ”
Tang Seng smiled self-deprecatingly: "If you want to save that moth, it is better to directly extinguish the candle flame, but without the candle flame, it will fall into darkness again." ”
"I know you care about the world, but you just don't say it. Li Shimin sighed.
"Come to me when you figure it out, and I won't blame you for whatever decision you make. ”
Tang Seng looked at Li Shimin, who was getting farther and farther away, and also sighed: "What qualifications do you have to blame me." ”
Ah Xia looked at it and stopped laughing, and she was not happy at all in her heart, but a little uncomfortable.
"Stinky monk, are you going to the West Heaven?" Ah Xia looked at Tang Seng who was thinking and asked softly.
"I was just about to go to the West Heaven, but she stopped me. ”
Tang Seng pointed at Long Ling'er.
"I'm not joking with you, you don't want to listen to the saints, go to the west to get some scriptures, right?"
"Every step I take in this world is pushed forward by others. ”
Tang Seng let out a long yawn.
"That's right, the female bodhisattva standing there. ”
Avalokiteshvara stepped out of the river.
"Senior brother..."
"What senior brother, I said that you are really annoying enough, are you a pervert, no matter where I am, I can meet you. Tang Seng said impatiently.
"You must personally re-walk the westward road, go through nine hundred and eighty-one difficulties, and save the world from Lingshan to the world, in order to get the master's forgiveness and return to Lingshan. ”
"Didn't I say it many times, I don't need anyone's forgiveness, if I don't feel good, I will be killed directly by a thunderbolt, why do you do so many things, since you call me senior brother, it means that my seniority is higher than you in that Lingshan, I let you go, will you be obedient." ”
"You must go back to the west, or the good karma you have cultivated for ten lifetimes will be ruined. Guanyin's brow furrowed.
"None of your business. Tang Seng stopped looking at her, turned around and waved at Long Ling'er and Ah Xia, and the three of them left slowly.
