Chapter 51: Guanyin Monastery
On this day, Tang Sanzang was depressed and lay on the back of the horse and went crazy, damn, when is this damn desert the head, and the rest of the water has been drunk, how will the rest of the days be lived?
The food brought by the Sanzang army was sufficient, but because it could not withstand the high temperature of the desert, it had already become moldy and spoiled, and it was impossible to eat. The apprentices used the master's body as bait and ate the scorpion for three days. Although the scorpion is delicious, it doesn't seem to be very clean, and the holy monk has diarrhea when he eats it, and he can't help but cry out again.
"Dead monkey, are you sure you can't somersault clouds?Buddha, are you mistaken, the dignified Monkey King can't even somersault clouds, doesn't this increase the difficulty of learning scriptures?" Tang Sanzang looked up to the sky weakly and sighed, he couldn't raise a trace of strength to go crazy.
"Damn, dead rice balls, no, no, what's the fuss. Besides, don't you drink all the water along the way, and my grandson still has to find you something to eat, is it easy for me?" Wukong has been annoyed lately, and this dead rice ball has always doubted my grandson's ability, which makes the Monkey King, who has always been proud, a little short of breath.
"Xiaobai, it's still up to you, I haven't drunk water for three days, and I'm still running around the world with me, be good, sing one to Master. Tang Sanzang looked at the white dragon horse Ao Bai who was still running with envy at this moment, and sighed depressedly.
Recently, Ao Bai has become obsessed with singing, he can't speak in front of people, and he always likes to come to two paragraphs when no one is around, because it is a dragon, Ao Bai's singing voice is high-pitched and long, and it is very good, and later, Tang Sanzang simply stopped singing, and specially played the huqin to accompany him.
"The feeling of bitter sand blowing on my face / Like a father's scolding, my mother's crying will never be forgotten / When I was young, I liked to be alone by the sea / Rolled up my pants and stepped on the sand barefoot/Always fantasized that there was another world at the end of the ocean......"
"He said what is this pain in the wind and rain/Don't be afraid to wipe away your tears, at least we still have dreams/He said what is this pain in the wind and rain/Wipe away your tears, don't ask why......"
Maybe he has been hurt too much, or maybe he misses the good times in the West Sea too much, Ao Bai likes this "Sailor" the most. Every time his lonely and slightly vicissitudes of singing fluttered in the air, this silent yellow earth became more mysterious and distant.
Listening and listening, Tang Sanzang couldn't help but sigh, Xiaobai, Xiaobai, the third prince of the dignified Xihai Dragon Palace, has such a bad fate, and I don't know how you survived these two hundred years of lonely years? I, Tang Sanzang, swear here, as long as you are with us, Master will never let you be alone again.
Whenever Ao Bai sings, Sun Wukong will always angrily propose to explore the way, not that the monkey doesn't like to listen to songs, it is precisely because Ao Bai sings so well that he can't help but keep up with a few words, but the result is often that the monkey has not yet sung a few words, and is blocked by the other two collectives. The unanimous opinion of the two is that the monkey sings so badly that it can scare people to death like a ghost howling in the middle of the night. As a result, the poor great sage, in addition to self-pity, could only choose to avoid it angrily.
However, the monkey did not go in vain this time, and after a while he came back happily and reported: "Master, I found a mountain a hundred miles ahead, and there is an ancient temple on the mountain, and it seems that there should be people living there." ”
"Great, Buddha bless, finally have water to drink and a house to live in. Xiaobai hurry up and run, try to get there before dark, whether Master's life can be saved or not depends on you. At this moment, the excitement in Tang Sanzang's heart was no less than the joy of Columbus when he discovered the New World. So the white dragon horse let out a soft roar, spread its hooves and ran forward, which was much faster than a high-speed train.
It was nearly dusk, and Ao Bai, who was foaming at the mouth, finally finished a hundred miles, and the verdant mountains and forests were vaguely displayed in front of him. Tang Sanzang stroked Ao Bai's sweaty back distressedly, and was moved: "Xiaobai, it's really hard for you." ”
When the twilight bell rang, Tang Sanzang led the horse, took Wukong to face the sunset, and walked up the steps step by step. The pines and cypresses on both sides of the road cover the sky and the sun, and the reflection is tilted, which makes it seem extraordinarily deep and quiet. Looking at such a beautiful scenery, Tang Sanzang unconsciously admired sincerely: "The winding path leads to a secluded place, and the Zen room is deep in grass and trees, which is what I am talking about." Coming here through thousands of miles of desert, there is really a feeling of being reincarnated, Wukong walks quickly, and there is water to drink in front of him. ”
After walking for nearly half an hour, the master and apprentice finally walked through the hundreds of steps on the mountain road and stepped into the decayed temple gate. As far as the eye can see, there are few courtyards in the temple, and the buildings everywhere are extremely shabby, looking in disrepair, decay and dilapidation. There is a huge plaque hanging on the middle hall, on which are vaguely written three vigorous and powerful characters "Guanyin Temple".
Tang Sanzang was taken aback when he saw this, is this the Guanyin Temple mentioned in Journey to the West, according to legend, the incense is prosperous, and the rich party is rich, why did it fall to such a downfall?
