Chapter 2: Temptation

What kind of person is this: dressed in a brilliant white plain dress, elegant and noble, with long hair shoulder to shoulder, a fair and broad forehead, and her eyebrows are a little red; her face is like a bright moon, her lips are like vermilion lacquer, her arms are slender, and her feet are like a model. She was so beautiful and dazzling that the wind dared to quietly walk around her, reflecting the thin and boneless figure. She is like a fairy who descended to earth, tranquil and holy, and radiant, so that the world only dares to look at her face and bow down.

At this moment, the beauty was leaning over and looking down, looking at Tang Yuan with a concerned face, exhaling like an orchid, and said triumphantly: "Xuanzang, you are finally awake, not bad, I said that the willow branch nectar of this Bodhisattva is not covered, Wukong, you can rest assured." ”

"Wait, what willow branch nectar, what bodhisattva, I don't know what you're talking about?strange, how am I here, and who are you?" Tang Yuan couldn't bear the ultra-close gaze of the beautiful woman, so he was so frightened that he panicked and retreated again and again. He looked at the classical beauty with a bright smile with wariness, and inquired about his situation with a cautious expression.

"Master, we are in the Desperate Ridge, when you were swept by my grandson's golden hoop and stick, you have been unconscious, and you are in danger, but fortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva arrived in time to save you. The one who spoke, no more than four feet tall, wore a tight hoop on his head, wore a walker's suit, a tiger skin skirt under his feet, a pair of lotus roots on the soles of his feet, golden eyelids, a peach-shaped monkey face, wide limbs, and yellow hair. He was looking at Tang Yuan with a guilty face and replied cautiously.

Looking at this appearance, Tang Yuan's mouth opened widely, and when he remembered the dream just now, he immediately understood, damn, this, could this be the legendary Monkey King, right?

This situation and this scene are like in a dream, how can Tang Yuan bear it, his eyes are glazed with shock, his mind is blank, and it seems that he has completely collapsed.

After being silent for a long time, Uncle Tang woke up like a dream, pinched the back of his hand vigorously, felt pain, and couldn't help crying: "Mom, it turns out that what Xuanzang said is true, this is really the world of Journey to the West, God, even if you are in a bad mood, you don't have to play with me like this, right?"

Sun Wukong looked at himself with astonishment, the master who was originally serious and had a little mother-in-law, was shouting uncharacteristically at the moment, and the confusion and confusion in his heart were accumulating deeper and deeper, no less than Tang Yuan. As a result, the Monkey King, who was once fearless and fearless, was completely frightened by the master's strange behavior, and just stood in place, unable to figure out why.

"Sun Wukong, you listen to me, maybe you don't believe it, but all this is true, your master Xuanzang has been scattered, and now standing in front of you is me, Tang Yuan. At this moment, Tang Yuan showed super psychological quality, silently accepted the cruel reality of his coming to the world of Journey to the West, in order not to desecrate the deceased Xuanzang, Tang Yuan took the danger of being attacked by Sun Wukong, and calmly explained everything.

"Master, are you joking, Guanyin Bodhisattva does not hesitate to use the Soul Gathering Dafa to summon your soul, my grandson dares to pack a ticket, even if you lose six of your seven souls, you can still ensure that you can gather them. Master, after all, Wukong deserves to die, he made a mistake for a while, and his teacher suffered. Sun Wukong cautiously surrendered his hand to the master to make amends, but secretly muttered in his heart, saying that the South China Sea Guanyin purifies all sentient beings, the art of saving people is unparalleled in the world, the Three Realms are famous, and the master was rescued It is an ironclad fact, and the current situation is probably because he was too strong and temporarily lost his mind and went crazy.

Thinking of this, the monkey nodded vigorously, and was extremely convinced in his heart, well, with my grandson's many years of experience, this judgment should be accurate to eight or nine, as long as the master is alive, with our means, it will not be easy to heal him.

"Goku, I'm so sorry, I'm afraid I'm going to disappoint you this time. Using the Dafa of Gathering Souls, it is possible to sense the movement of the soul of the recipient. At this moment, I realized that the spirit that disappeared at the right time was Xuanzang's spiritual consciousness, but it was a pity that Xuanzang only insisted on it for so long with the power of one spirit, which can be seen in his inner obsession. I thought it was Xuanzang's soul that I pulled back, but I didn't want it to be this Tang Shizhu, it seems that the will of heaven is like this, and I can't force it. A trace of loneliness quietly crossed Guanyin's eyes, and explained to Wukong in a sad tone.

Knowing that Guanyin has never spoken, Sun Wukong couldn't help but be shocked when he heard this, he looked at Tang Yuan in front of him who occupied the master's body in confusion, and his hopeful eyes gradually became empty.

Tang Yuanyu couldn't bear it, and comforted him: "Wukong, Xuanzang asked me to tell you that what is needed between companions is trust, and it is his fault to use the Tightening Spell to force you to carry out his orders, and his death is just an accident, I don't blame you." ”

Sun Wukong burst into tears when he heard this, fell to his knees with a puff, and kowtowed to Guanyin to apologize: "Bodhisattva, Sun Wukong killed his teacher by mistake, the sin is heavy, and it is difficult to write. ”

The monkey's words are tragic, and the scene is desolate, which makes those who hear it sigh and those who see it cry. The hunting wind whistled through the mountains and forests, swaying the branches and leaves, reflecting such a sad and desolate scene, which made people feel even more emotional, and tears filled their eyes.

Looking at the crying Sun Wukong, Tang Yuan was stunned, according to the record of "Journey to the West", this master and apprentice have just passed the Two Realms Mountain, and they have not known each other for too long, but they have already formed such a deep affection. In this case, Sun Wukong killed Xuanzang by mistake, no wonder he was grief-stricken and had nothing to love. And his seemingly persuasive words, although out of good intentions, inadvertently sprinkled a handful of salt on the wound, which deepened the pain and guilt in his heart.

"Sun Wukong, you are born a stone monkey, the head of all spirits, intelligent, the Buddha left you alive back then, is to pity your creation through the heavens and the earth, if you die like this, wouldn't it be a pity?" At this time, a Sanskrit sound suddenly sounded in the sky, and a big-eared Arhat rode a golden-colored peacock, slowly falling from the clouds.

When Tang Yuan looked up, he was really a monk, only to see that he was dressed in a white single robe, with outstanding appearance and a light personality, he had an unfathomable smile on his face, a heroic spirit between his eyebrows, and a pair of Hao yellow eyes flashed with incomparably wise light. In Buddhism, the one who rides the golden peacock is Manjushri Bodhisattva, known as the first wise man under the Buddha.

"Wukong, Manjushri is right, death is lighter than a feather, heavier than Mount Tai, if you die like this, it is a pity. What's more, the great cause of learning scriptures from my Buddhism has not been accomplished, and it is a good time for you to show your strength and protect the people who learn scriptures from the west to learn scriptures, how can you retreat lightly?" Guanyin said with a kind face.

Haha, Bodhisattva, you are so funny, Master is dead, but where do you go to find someone to learn the scriptures, it's really a joke. Sun Wukong smiled blankly when he heard this, and the pain in his eyes was obvious.

"Wukong, you are wrong to think so, the so-called four-legged pheasant is hard to find, these two-legged monks, isn't it a big handful, don't you see a ready-made one in front of you? Think about it, you can take advantage of all these benefits, isn't it the will of heaven for you to take over from Xuanzang and take the true scriptures from the west?" I saw Manjushri with a bright smile on his face, and bowed his hand to Tang Yuan.

"No, I've just arrived here, and I haven't stood firm yet, so wouldn't it be too bullying for you to arrange such a dangerous errand for me? Manjushri Bodhisattva, right, don't think that Uncle Ben doesn't know that the swords and swords on the West Heaven Road, and the magic obstacles are rampant, and it is a deadly place. Besides, Tang monk meat is a fragrant glutton, and you can live forever if you eat a piece, who doesn't feel greedy when you see it? You let me go to the west to learn scriptures with such a body, and push me into the fire pit without knowing it? Don't go, resolutely don't go. With a perfect understanding of "Journey to the West", Tang Yuan was full of psychological shadows for the role of Tang Seng, and he didn't want to think about it at the moment, so he flatly refused.

"Ahem, Master Tang, what you said seems to be the truth, but things are far from being as pessimistic as you imagined. In order to reassure your heart, this Bodhisattva is very merciful and makes an exception to reveal some heavenly opportunities to you. There are many demons along the way, in fact, most of them are immortal Buddha mounts or their disciples illusion, they intercept the scriptures on the West Heaven Road, hindering the great cause of learning the scriptures, purely because of the needs of the plot, to put it bluntly, it is just a scene. What's more, if you really encounter tricky things, my Buddhism and the Heavenly Court are duty-bound to help each other, and when the time comes, it is not the gods who block and kill the gods, and the Buddhas who block and kill the Buddhas, where will there be any danger? As for the scriptures, you have also made great contributions to the Buddhism, and the Buddha and his old man are happy, maybe they will reward you as an arhat, and when the time comes, fame and fortune will be gained, it is definitely a good errand that you Tang Yuan has nowhere to find with a lantern, how can you be willing to push it out?" Seeing Tang Yuan's refusal, Manjushri smiled slightly, clasped his palms together, and instigated with enthusiasm on his face.

Tang Yuan couldn't stop nodding while listening, secretly thinking in his heart, this Manjushri is not bad at all, the heavenly immortals and the lower realm are demons, and blocking Tang Seng from learning scriptures in the west is probably just to make up for the ninety-nine eighty-one difficulties, in order to correct his name. Although there are many obstacles along the way, it is difficult to have smooth sailing days, and every time Tang Seng is caught in the hole, threatened by the intimidation and threat of monsters, in the end, he can turn the danger into a disaster, unscathed, and it can be regarded as a safe journey, not to mention that with my Tang Yuan's understanding of "Journey to the West", coupled with Sun Wukong's combat power, I believe it is enough to sweep the Journey to the West.

As for the scriptures themselves, that is, a little hard, there is really no difficulty, and as a master, Tang Seng is naturally responsible for the apprentices' diet and daily life, there are horses to ride on the road, and meals rely on fate, which is simply a one-stop service of clothes to reach out and food to open his mouth, and he only cooperated with screaming a few times when he was caught, as for catching demons and destroying monsters, it was all handed over to the apprentices, and the right to enter the demon cave should be a sightseeing tour, which is really not a big deal. Along the way, Tang Seng walked in a chic manner, no hard work has to be done, all good things take precedence, and in the end, you can mix a Buddha as a master, such a cost-effective deal, it is really as Manjushri said, it is a comfortable thing that has nowhere to find a lantern.

Of course, what made Tang Yuan's heart flutter the most was that there were so many beauties who pursued Tang Seng along the way, what jade rabbit essence, scorpion essence, mouse essence, and the king of the daughter country, etc., whether they were true or false, they all fell under his pomegranate pants, which was really a fatal temptation for Tang Yuan, who was still a virgin in his previous life.

Thinking about it, Tang Yuan couldn't help but be proud, hehe, we are not Xuanzang's elm head, as the envoy of the westward journey, there are naturally forces from all sides, as long as the policy of the westward journey remains unchanged, and a few beauties along the way to cultivate their sentiments, I believe that the Heavenly Court Buddhism will only turn a blind eye. If this is the case, then the Journey to the West directed by me Tang Yuan is definitely a romantic epic with great fragrance, such a perfect errand, how can I be willing to push it out?

Thinking of this, Tang Yuan secretly wiped the saliva from the corner of his mouth, and bowed respectfully to Manjushri: "Manjushri Bodhisattva, what you said is not unreasonable, as the so-called I don't go to hell, who goes to hell, taking the true scriptures from the west is a major event of Buddhism, although it is necessary to travel through thousands of mountains and rivers from afar, and endure several hardships, but since it is the will of heaven for the disciple to get the reincarnation of the golden cicada, then Tang Yuan has the responsibility to take the next step." But the disciple is still a little worried, because I don't believe in Buddhism, I'm afraid that I won't be able to fast, I won't be able to recite sutras, and I won't be able to keep all the Buddhist precepts."

Tang Yuan said this, and couldn't help but feel more proud the more he thought about it, hahaha, Uncle Ben is so talented, if Manjushri agrees to this request, then everything will be over, and from then on, Lao Tzu will drink wine and eat meat, and it will be natural to be romantic all the way. But if Manjushri doesn't agree to this small request, it seems that the Buddhist family is too insincere, and when the time comes, everything will not be discussed, and Uncle Ben will also take the opportunity to slip away. Uncle Tang looked at the leisurely Manjushri in front of him with a smile of victory.

"Haha, what should I be, just such a request, should, should, my Buddhist disciples have always been informal, and if there is a Buddha in their hearts, what do they do with so many bullshit rules, they only blame the world for not being able to understand it, so they have so much red tape. Manjushri laughed when he heard this, and waved his hand happily in agreement.

Tang Yuan's heart was excited, and he couldn't help but sigh, wonderful, wonderful, can be so unhindered, and be at peace with what happens, he can be called a Mahayana Buddha, Manjushri has such a bearing, it is really admirable.

"Okay, that's it, Wukong, let's pack up and get ready to go. "The conditions are negotiated, Tang Yuan is in a good mood, he is in high spirits at the moment, and beckoned to Sun Wukong, although he is serious on the surface, he has already been happy in his heart, hahaha, the demon king of all roads, the cow ghost and snake god, it is your ancestor Tang Yuan who is here, with Uncle Ben's understanding of Journey to the West, how can there be your way to live, just wait to be taken by a nest, wahahaha.

"I'm sorry, my grandson went to the west to learn the scriptures, just to repay the master's kindness to save him from Wuzhi Mountain, and it doesn't make any sense to learn from me. Now that the master is gone, Wukong naturally has no reason to protect the scripture learners, and I ask for your forgiveness. After speaking, Sun Wukong was very sad, and bowed to Tang Yuan (Xuanzang) very personally, and a somersault jumped on the cloud and floated away.

"Damn, Wukong, I'm just a mortal, I can't tie the chicken, how can I get to the West Heaven without your protection? Alas, don't go, just don't think about it anymore, there are many powerful demon kings on the West Heaven Road, don't you want to see it? Taking the true scriptures to the west is Xuanzang's lifelong wish, don't you want to complete it for him?" Sun Wukong's face-to-face refusal was like a basin of cold water poured down, pouring Tang Yuan's whole heart cold, although he repeatedly retained, Sun Wukong had no choice but to fly farther and farther, and finally disappeared into the vast sky.
