The king of the table saw that the clothes of the four masters and apprentices were a little old, so he prepared two sets of monk's clothes for the tailor-made, and gave them food and food, and changed the customs clearance documents.

The monks of Fulong Temple did not return for fifty or sixty miles, some wanted to go to the west sky, and some wanted to practice and serve. When the walker saw that he refused to go back, he found a trick, plucked thirty or forty hairs, blew on the fairy breath, and shouted, "Change!" The monks were afraid and did not dare to move forward, so the great sage led the master to ride away. After a short time, when we had gone far away, all the monks cried loudly and shouted, "I have a good and righteous lord!

Haha, the description in this further confirms that the relics are actually Yu Qian's heroic spirits. These monks are already disciples of Buddhism, and Tang Seng is now considered to be a peer. But it is not the Buddha who can save them, but the master who is kind and righteous! Then we can't help but think about what Patriarch Subodhi said to the monkeys, don't talk about any kindness and righteousness, let alone cause trouble and implicate me.

However, how does "History of the Ming Dynasty" evaluate Yu Qian?

Yu Qian, the word Tingyi, Qiantang people. Born at the age of seven, a monk said: "He saves the prime minister every day." ”

The statement of the Ming history is also vague and contradictory, and it is also said that Qian also resolutely takes the safety of the society as his own responsibility; he is modest and rigid, and when he encounters unsatisfactory problems, he sighs and says: "Where is this blood?"

Later, the house was raided and found that the family had no money to spare, and the key to the main room was very solid. Enlightened, then the python clothes and swords are also given. On the day of death, the haze is combined, and the world is wronged. The one who commanded Duo'er, who was originally out of Cao Jixiang's subordinates, died with wine and wept.

"History of the Ming Dynasty" praised that when Yu Qian was the governor, he made outstanding achievements and was outstanding in the world. In a timely manner, the army was fortified. Emperor Jing is not only heartfelt, but also humble and worried about the country and forgetting his home, his body is in danger, and he is committed to the sect and society, and he has made great contributions. changed to seize the door, the disaster broke out suddenly, Xu and Shi Zhi's disciples contributed their efforts and squeezed to death, and they were not wronged at that time. However, there are chastity, Heng, and auspiciousness, and they are all in trouble. And humble and loyal and righteous, he won glory with the sun and the moon, and was reinstated and commended. After a long time, the public opinion is decided, and the letter is humble for a long time and good at fighting. However, he is brave and unscrupulous, so his name is not as good as the works of Yang Hong, Shi Heng, and Guo Deng.

Zhang Tingyu and others obviously agreed with Qian, but they had to say something against their hearts in their biography. It can be seen that the historical fairness of the history of the Ming Dynasty is lacking to a certain extent. When we look at the history of the Ming Dynasty, we must preserve the truth and eliminate the falsehood.

Wukong's heart has made great progress this time, and Bajie has also benefited a lot. As the master and apprentice walked, they suddenly saw a long ridge, and on the top of the ridge was a road. The thorns on the ridge are forked, and the sorrel is entangled, although there are traces of the road, but the left and right are thorns and thorns.

This road is not easy to walk, what is Lao Wu vaguely referring to? Who knows now, take your time.

Tang Seng shouted, "Apprentice, how can you walk this way?" It seems that Tang Seng has also grown, and he wiped his tears without being shocked.

Bajie said, "Don't worry, wait for me to use the palladium firewood to separate the nails and palladium, don't say ride a horse, and carry the sedan chair to cover you." "Sanzang Dao, "Although you are powerful and difficult in the long run, you don't know how far and near, how can you spend so much spirit!"

The old pig is different, he followed Brother Monkey in the limelight a few days ago, and now he is full of spirit. When Tang Seng heard this, he was eccentric, and hurriedly reminded Bajie. If this is replaced by Wukong Sha Monk, the master will definitely say, go quickly, otherwise how to go up to the spiritual mountain to see the Buddha!

The walker flew up to the sky and looked, good guy, as far as the eye could see, it seemed to be thousands of miles away. There is also a passage describing the scenery of Thorn Ridge, but in the end, it is said that whoever does not suffer from thorns, then sees the thorns grow in the west!

It seems that this is to be emotional, and Lao Wu must be reflecting something. This thorn either means suffering or being framed. Then the growth of thorns in the West means a lot.

Sha Seng smiled, "Master don't worry, we also learn to burn the wasteland, put a fire, and burn the thorns in the past." The Eight Commandments said, "Don't talk nonsense! The burning of the wasteland must be in ten months, and the grass will decay and the trees will wither, so as to ignite the fire." Now is the time of prosperity, how can it be burned!" The walker said, "Even if it is burned, he is afraid of the Son of Man." ”

Sha Seng still looks down on the master the most, and when he heard Tang Seng praise the old pig in front of him, he was unhappy, but he had a bad idea, so he didn't care what the consequences were, he was clean, and he also wanted to show himself. Now that the eight precepts are praised by the master, they know that Sha Seng is deliberate, so he strongly opposes it, and it is reasonable. But the monkey's words were a little meaningful, so he took out the foreman's style and gave Sha Seng a step down euphemistically, because Sha Monk was narrow-minded and didn't let the two juniors quarrel. It also shows that after Wukong abandoned the form of Buddhism, his gradual mental progress is indeed great.

Bajie is now full of interest, so he changed his height to 20 zhang high, and under the guise of nailing palladium, he changed the palladium handle with a length of 30 zhang, and made palladium with both hands, and hugged the thorns left and right, "Please come with me!"

But don't look at the old pig who is doing happily now, to put it sweetly, in fact, he is similar to Sha Seng, he respects Tang Seng on the surface, but he looks down on it in his heart.

Everyone followed forward, one breath is to walk a hundred and ten miles of road, the sky is almost dark, see a stone tablet written "thorn ridge", there are two lines of fourteen small characters, is "thorns climb eight hundred miles, there are roads in ancient times few people walk".

Bajie saw it and smiled, "Wait for my old pig to add two sentences to him, and from now on Bajie can be broken and go straight to the west!"

Bajie said, "Master, don't stop, take advantage of this sunny day, I'll wait for fun, and hug the road overnight to go to his mother!" The elder had to obey.

Well, it's almost dark this day, how did the night come to be clear. Although the old pig has a strong temper, but he always feels a little abnormal, Bajie's mood towards Thorn Ridge is very strange, as if he has a deep hatred for this thorn and then gets rid of it quickly.

If this is the case with the Eight Precepts, it is easy to explain. Because back then, in the heavenly court, it was very likely that he was framed by the Jade Emperor Laojun and them.

And so it went on for another day and a night, but it was getting late. There is an ancient temple in front of it, but it is a deep and secluded place.

The walker looked at it and said, "This place is less auspicious and more vicious, and it is not suitable to sit for a long time." Sha Seng said, "Senior brother is suspicious, it seems that this uninhabited place, and there are no monsters and monsters, what are you afraid of him?"

Sha Seng is much better to the monkey now, and he is very grateful to the senior brother. was also worried that Tang Seng would blame Wukong, so he reminded the monkey to pay attention to his words.

As a result, the monkey really said that an old man, followed by a little ghost, with a plate of bread on his head, said that it was his own land, and he sent food.

The walker looked at it for a long time and shouted, "Stop, this guy is not a good person! Hugh is rude! What kind of land are you, come to talk to the old grandson! Look at the stick!" The old man saw him calling, turned into a gust of wind, and arrested Tang Seng.

The old man, together with the ghost envoy, carried the elder to a smoky stone house, put it down gently, and said hand in hand with him, "Holy monk, don't be afraid, we are not evildoers, but the eighteen princes of Thorn Ridge." Because of the clear wind and the moon, you are specially invited to come to meet friends to talk about poetry and entertain your feelings. ”

When Tang Seng heard this, his heart was a little calm, and he looked at the surroundings, so quiet and elegant. We have to pay attention, this Tang Seng is understandably at ease, because he feels that the other party is not a monster. However, after Tang Seng heard that his friends were talking about poetry, his reaction was both normal and abnormal. I was frightened just now, so where did I think I had to look at the scenery? However, Tang Seng really paid attention to the quiet scenery around him, and obviously, he moved the heart of the poem. This is also a common problem of literati, as soon as they heard that they would meet friends with literature, they became energetic, and they were not even afraid of death, let alone in the deep mountains and old forests.

Later, three old men came, and a few sour poems. claimed to be around a thousand years old, and when Tang Seng heard it, he thought it was four immortals, could it be the four Haohu of the Han Dynasty?

Sihao of the Han Dynasty was actually four doctors who believed in the study of Huang Lao in the late Qin and early Han dynasties, and later lived in seclusion due to the war, and once advised Liu Bang, the ancestor of the Han Dynasty.

Of course not, these old men are actually monsters, so they dare to ask the holy monk, how old are they? Sanzang bowed and replied,

Forty years ago, she was born into a mother's womb, and her life was catastrophic when she was not born. Escaped and fell into the water and rolled with the waves, and fortunately encountered Jinshan to escape the remains.

Cultivating the nature of the scriptures without slackness, sincerely worship the Buddha and dare to fight the Buddha?

Tang Seng is now forty years old, that is, it has been 9 years on the way to learn scriptures, and by the way, I talked about Tang Seng's life experience. It should also be noted that Tang Seng did begin to show off his elegance, and he acquiesced in his friends talking about poetry.

The four elders pretended to be modest, but in fact, they not only knew Tang Seng, but also the other three. It's specifically here to do things, but it's just beyond my means.

This old guy is old and sophisticated, and when he saw that the monk was obviously tempted, he was about to get into the trap, and immediately touted Tang Seng for a few words, and pretended to ask for Zen advice or two, so as to comfort his life.

As soon as Tang Seng heard this, Mei'er fainted, who is afraid of Zen Dharma! In fact, Tang Seng is not only proficient in Buddhism, but also very good at the set of literati and ink writers.

The monk lived in vain, and said a lot of words, and he still knew every word, but if he read them together, he really couldn't understand them.

The Zen is quiet, and the Dharma is also. The degree of tranquility cannot be realized unless it is realized. The enlightened one, cleansing the heart, and getting rid of the dust is also. The lady's body is rare, it is difficult to live in Middle Earth, and it is difficult to meet the Fa-rectification. To the virtue of the wonderful way, the indifference Xiyi, the six roots and six senses, can be swept away. The Bodhi one, immortal and unborn, has no surplus and no debt, is empty and all-encompassing, and all saints are sent. Visited the real Yuan Shi clamp hammer, and realized the means of Muni. Play like recklessness, trampling nirvana. It must be awakened and enlightened, and a little spiritual light must be fully protected. Let go of the flames, and the Dharma Realm will be revealed. To the subtle, more stubborn, the entrance said who spends it? I am the original cultivator of the great awakening Zen, and I have the fate to have the ambition to remember.

There is a problem with this word, but at first glance, it is indeed an explanation of Zen Buddhism. But when it comes to "the enlightened, cleanse the heart, and get rid of the world", the problem arises. Washing the heart and purifying the worries should be from "With Ying Zhongshi", "In addition to hardship, all thoughts are gray and cold, and the previous life is as if it is a separate life, and it is said that you can inherit the teachings of the king." Then when we look at it, we understand what enlightenment is, that is, complete repentance, but it can only be done after a hundred thoughts are discouraged.

So this poem seems to look like there is still Su Dongpo's late Buddha thought, Lao Wu must have changed some content, and it seems that it is not a concealment. This is Lao Wu's consistent method, and many other works in the book have been tampered with and extended by him, paving the way for his novels. For example, Wang Wei's poems even directly copied the poems in the Romance of the Gods, with a slight change, and mocked them openly and secretly.

A few old men were very happy to admire it, but Fu Yunsuo said, "Although your Zen is quiet and the Dharma is moderate, you need to be sincere in your heart, but you can't get the real Dao, but our Xuandao is fine." ”

Tang Seng actually kowtowed and thanked him when he heard this, and he couldn't help but be dumbfounded.

Isn't this obvious that Lao Wu is inciting the dispute between Buddhism and Taoism?

Next, Tang Seng became a poet flourished, and he wrote endless poems with a few old men. However, judging from the content of the old man's poems, Dao Xuan mentions very little, and they are basically literary poems. It shows that these monsters are probably not the Daoxuan family, but they are more like Confucian demons.

The last poem of these old men, something went wrong, Tang Seng listened to it, pondering that the taste was wrong, the poems of these people started from Dao Xuan Qingjing, and then introduced their high wind and bright festival, and finally suddenly became to be debauched, uninhibited, should be happy in time. In fact, it is obvious that these are a few old monsters, and they want to lead Tang Seng into the sorghum field little by little.

This made Tang Seng vigilant, and he felt that it was not good, so he said, what you said is really good, and it is better to treat my monk. But it was getting dark, and I had to go and find some apprentices.

The old men stopped, and after a while, a laughing fairy came holding an apricot blossom, which was originally called an apricot fairy. Or specifically came to find Tang Seng, Tang Seng saluted at a glance, but did not dare to speak, it is estimated that Tang Seng has already noticed that this apricot fairy is coming at this time, it is absolutely abnormal.

The woman said to the crowd with a spring breeze on her face, "The concubine is not talented, so she should not be ugly." But listening to this good sentence, it seems that it is not false, how about reluctantly reluctantly post-poetry and all the same?" Dong Xian loves me into Lin Ji, and Sun Chu once took pity on the cold and ate fragrant. The rain is red and delicate, and the smoky green color is still hidden. I know that I am overripe and slightly sour, and I fall in the wheat field every year.

Oh, this is obviously a glamorous speech, and it is written very plainly, and I don't see some poetry in it. But when the four elders heard the poem, everyone congratulated them, and they all said, "Elegant and dusty, the sentence contains spring." What a 'rain run red posture delicate and tender', 'rain run red delicate and tender'!"

Even if you take out a poem from the old men in front of you, it's much more elegant and dusty than this. It also contains spring, and the rain is red and delicate. Isn't that overtly provocative?

This scene is reminiscent of some situations in the Ming Dynasty. Roughly speaking, there is a person who is very good at learning and has become an official through the scientific examination. However, some officials want to win them over under the door, and they can't directly pick them out, because newcomers are generally immature and high-minded, and they don't bother to get involved in them. So what should I do? I invited this talented man to the orchestra hook column, and together with the popular Oiran who was also a little talented, we talked about poetry and writing, and drank and chatted. After a long time, the talented man became intoxicated, and he became more intimate with the Oiran or something, and the next day, he let a few colleagues block the bed. Then this talented man can only obey these officials, and he will become a lackey of others. This so-called story of talented and beautiful women is not an example of one or two in the Ming Dynasty, it is quite a lot.

So Lao Wu is here to map one or two, reminding the world that there are still students who are involved in the world, and they should be careful when they are involved in the world, especially when they go to high places, there are thorns everywhere, and there may be traps everywhere.

The woman smiled and replied quietly, "Panic, panic! Hearing the chapter of the holy monk, it is true that the heart is embroidered, if you don't skimp on the pearl and jade, how about giving a lesson?" Tang Seng did not dare to agree.

Although this Xingxian is quite elegant now, Tang Seng must have been suspicious, so he didn't reply. We have to pay attention to it, that is, the apricot fairy must be quite good-looking, and the rain is red and delicate. If this is seen when I see it in front of my daughter's country, Tang Seng will definitely salute him, little lady, where are you from, your home is not far away, do you have a match for your husband's family or something.

This Tang monk saw that the beauty of the family was coming, and it was useless to say a word, but he was very polite but kept a distance and bowed. One is that Tang Seng suspects that this woman is not coming in the right way, but more importantly, Tang Seng already has someone in his heart at this time. Queen Xiliang is the only woman in Tang Seng who has moved her true feelings and true love in the past 40 years. It's a pity that the great creation has tricked these two poor people, who are destined to treasure their love in their hearts and miss them alone. It is said that forty is not confused, but Tang Seng really has a firm will to learn from the scriptures in his heart?

Sure enough, the woman gradually saw her love, and gradually got closer to the side, and whispered, "Good guest, take advantage of this good night, what if you don't play tricks?

is provocative, and the average talent is sad to pass the beauty pass.

Eighteen justices, "The apricot fairy is full of admiration, how can the holy monk not have the intention of bowing down? If you don't see pity, you don't know the fun." "Lonely and fair," the holy monk is a man of the right and famous, and he will never act in a hurry. Such a move is a mistake for us. Stain people's reputation, bad people's morality, not far away. If Xingxian is intentional, you can teach Fuyunsu and Eighteen Gong to be matchmakers, I and Lingkongzi are married, why not be beautiful!"

Oh, see this, you get it. No wonder this place is called Thorn Ridge, it's a trap specially set for talented heroes. However, the two old men said that they were righteous and awe-inspiring, sanctimonious, loyal, filial and righteous, spitting and proud.

When Sanzang heard this, he changed color, jumped up and shouted, "You and the others are all a kind of evil things, and they tempt me like this! At that time, I only talked about the Tao with hard words, but now how can I use the beauty bureau to deceive the poor monks! What is the reason!"

Tang Seng broke through the sky with one word, and responded to the beauty bureau that prevailed in the Ming Dynasty.

Seeing that Sanzang was angry, the four elders bit their fingers one by one and were frightened, and never said anything more. The little ghost was as irritable as thunder and said, "This monk doesn't know how to lift! My sister, those children are not good? He is handsome and elegant, jade and delicate, not to mention that the female worker is pointing at the needle, only this paragraph of poetry is also worthy of you." Why do you excuse yourself like this? Hugh missed! The words of the lonely and upright man are very appropriate, if you can't get along, I will marry you again. ”

This will make you angry, and the overlord will bow hard. Sanzang was shocked, and based on how they talked nonsense, they just didn't follow.

The ghost envoy said, "You monk, we are kind and good-spoken, but you don't listen, if we initiate the nature of the village and take you away, teach you that you are not a monk, and your wife is not allowed to marry, but you are not in vain?"

Oh, it seems that at that time in the Ming Dynasty, if the beauty bureau didn't work, then we had to continue to set traps and put people to death. The later Emperor Chongzhen was tossed like this, how could a person fight with the gang below, although he was not killed by rebellion, but he still ended up committing suicide and martyrdom.

The elder's heart was like a golden stone, he was stubborn, looking forward to the apprentice's coming, and he couldn't stop the tears in his eyes.

The woman laughed with her, came to her side, took out a honey silk sweat towel from her green sleeve and wiped her tears with him, and said, "Don't worry about the good guest, I will rely on the jade incense with you, and play tricks." The elder shouted aggressively, jumped up and left, being dragged by those people, shouting until dawn.

At this time, the monkeys searched for a night, and when they heard the master's voice, they came over.

The elder broke out of the door and shouted, "Wukong, I'm here, come and save me, come and save me!" The monsters were so shocked that they quickly disappeared.

Tang Seng could see his relatives, and hurriedly told his apprentice in detail. The evaluation of several old men is that they are elegant in speech and very good at reciting poetry, and Xingxian is a beautiful woman who recites a poem. That Xingxian's glamorous words are indeed not very good, unless people who are obsessed will be fooled.

The walker looked around carefully, but it turned out to be some grass and trees on the side. The monkey laughed, "It's these trees that are here to become fine." "Eight precepts, "How does my brother know that the one who becomes a spirit is a tree?" The walker said, "The eighteen males are pine trees, the lonely straight males are cypress trees, the volleys are cypress trees, the clouds are bamboo poles, the naked ghosts are maple trees, the apricot fairy is the apricot tree, and the girls are the dangui and the plum tree." Originally, Tang Seng had a kind heart and wanted to let go of these monsters, but the walker said, "Master doesn't pity him, I'm afraid he will become a big monster in the future, and he will harm people a lot." The nerd simply threw palladium and knocked it all down, but only then did he ask the master to mount his horse and go west along the main road.

Wukong is very right, in fact, Lao Wu means that there was such a large group of demons in the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and they had already become big, harming a lot of people, and all kinds of means were despicable. Lao Wu himself has also learned these methods, and he hates them to the core. It's not wrong to be public and private, who makes this demon too hateful.

So on the whole, the performance of the old pig, the attitude towards Thorn Ridge, and the hatred of the tree spirit can all explain a problem. Bajie was framed as Marshal of Tianpeng in Heavenly Court. Because Tang Seng said that Xingxian was transformed into a beautiful woman, if Bajie really only had lust in his heart, then he would not have killed the scorpion essence in front, and now he is a killer.

Along the way to the west of Zhu Bajie, the biggest and most obvious change occurred in the daughter country, when she saw the queen noble and beautiful. But the strange thing is that the old pig did not get into his brain because of this, but behaved very abnormally, eating desperately, drinking hard, and saying something that seemed inexplicable, and even Sha Seng felt that the second senior brother was wrong.

The old pig was degraded to the pig fetus and became a male wild boar, which is said to be very powerful. However, the fairy was not disgusted by Bajie becoming so ugly and unbearable as a monster, and still made a promise to each other for a year. From Gao Laozhuang's words of Miss Gao, there is no resentment, and from the words of the old pig, it is also understood that Gao Cuilan has not really disliked Bajie. All this tells us that Zhu Bajie is an ugly man on the outside but kind and considerate on the inside.

But Bajie is a careless man, and he has had two sincere loves around him, but he didn't cherish them. It wasn't until I met Queen Xiliang that I somehow remembered the fairy in neon clothes, or Gao Cuilan. This allowed Bajie to see his true heart and sigh sadly.

Since then, Zhu Bajie has a great immunity to beauties, and he will not be so cerebral when he sees him again, which is reasonable. But for those vicious and beautiful female monsters, that's quite hateful. It is estimated that while beating with a rake, I thought to myself, "You vicious monster, compared to my family's second sister Gao Cuilan, you are not worthy of lifting shoes, and you have ruined your face!"

Sha Seng still didn't speak, but he was by no means indifferent, and he didn't need to come up to help, because he could see that the second senior brother had pain in his heart and needed to vent it. We may think that the sand monk is too gloomy, but it is. But what we have to think about is that a shutter general, the nether realm has become a demon, this is not counted, and he has to suffer from flying sword piercing every few days, and under the torture, it will definitely have a huge impact on people's minds. We should understand part of it, and the sand monk has slowly changed a lot later. If you look closely, you can find that by the time of the ninety-sixth chapter of the book, Sha Seng was already much more normal, but he was arrogant and unwilling to talk more.

In fact, these eight precepts - Marshal Tianpeng, Sha Seng - Rolling Shutter General The two of them, Lao Wu partially reflected the Ming Dynasty's emphasis on literature and light on military force at that time.

Let's talk about those tree spirits again, as I said earlier, this is actually a problem that Lao Wu put for Buddhism. Because from the Taoist Buddha's statement, there is no possibility of plants and trees becoming demons, especially for Buddhists, which is resolutely resisted.

This stone is white and bone, and the flowers and trees become demons, which is actually a folk legend and myth. The wisdom of the masses, sometimes infinite, was borrowed by Lao Wu to challenge the two major traditions of Taoism and Buddhism.

But Lao Wu obviously didn't believe in or agree with this kind of folklore, so he reflected the tree demon to some scum and people of Confucianism, holding the Taoist Buddha as a shield, relying on some talent, he set a trap to harm people. It's just that Lao Wu is also a Confucian, so he said it more obscurely.

After all, I don't know how to go, so please listen to the nonsense next time.
