Chapter 1: The Elaborate Conspiracy (1)
The Tang Empire of the Tianyuan Continent, the Tianyin Mountain of Lingzhou City, the night is like ink, and the gloomy clouds emit an earth-shattering roar! Bang! After the rolling thunder, suddenly there was a loud bang in the sky, and the rain fell from the sky with the thunder, and several lightning bolts seemed to tear the night sky, illuminating the earth in a miserable blue.
The downpour fell from the sky, and in the fleeting lightning, the torrential rain shot like ten thousand arrows all over the sky, lifting a mound of earth in the mountain, and a young man inside was lying in the mud like a dead man. Still is.....
The rain was dense and silky, making a rustling sound, as if it were a gentle whisper of comfort; The dripping on the boy's face seemed to be a gentle touch. After removing the sludge and bloodstains, the boy's slightly childish face was revealed.
At this time, a lot of muddy water flowed into the young man's mouth, and he was suddenly choked, suddenly opened his eyes, coughed up a few mouthfuls of muddy water, and lay down in the mud mound, gasping for breath.
"Where am I?" His whole body was paralyzed and sore, his eyes were a little unopen from the falling raindrops, his vision was blurred, and he cried out in some horror.
There was a sudden pain in the young man's palm, and he deflected his gaze to see that in his red palm, he was holding an iron rod the size of an embroidery needle.
Although it was only an iron rod the size of an embroidery needle, it was still a little unbearable in the palm of his hand, but when the young man saw this embroidery needle, he clearly felt a trace of warmth!
At this time, in his mind, pieces of memories kept coming, and the two memories were like messy pictures, constantly flashing in his mind, and finally merged into one. The young man suddenly sat up from your mound, looking at everything around him, full of confusion, "Isn't my old grandson dead?" ”
This soul is no one else, it is a well-known figure in the flood era, everyone knows that there is no demon and no god who does not give him a little thin face, I think he punched the Dragon King of the East China Sea, beat the Jade Emperor Lao'er, and the heavenly soldiers and generals were all put away, he stomped his feet to the underworld, and Yama also had to be respectful to him, he was - Monkey King Sun Wukong.
remembered that he killed two thieves that day, and was finally driven away by his master Tang Sanzang. I was annoyed and depressed, the clouds were in the air, and I wanted to go back to the Huaguo Mountain Water Curtain Cave, afraid that the monkey grandchildren would laugh at him for going back on his word, and he was not a big man; Thinking that he was going to go to the Heavenly Palace, he was afraid that he would not be allowed to live in the Heavenly Palace for a long time; I want to throw myself into the island, but I am ashamed to see the immortals of the three islands; I want to run to the Dragon Palace, but I don't want to be annoyed by the Dragon King. It's really a nowhere to go, and he said to himself, "Stop, stop, stop!" I still went to see my master and ensured that he would learn the scriptures from the West Heaven and achieve positive results. Then he pressed the cloud head, flew to the front of Tang Sanzang's horse and stood up and said, "Master, forgive the disciple for this sin!" In the future, the disciples will not dare to commit murder, keep in mind the teachings of the master, and hope that the master will let me protect you to the west. Tang Sanzang saw it, and he didn't agree, he grabbed the horse, and recited the "Tight Hoop Mantra", upside down, recited it more than 20 times, and threw the Sun Wukong Mantra to the ground, and the hoop was trapped in the flesh for an inch to a depth before he stopped and said: "If you don't go back, what are you doing pestering me again?" Sun Wukong spoke: "Mo Nian, Mo Nian!" I'm afraid that you won't be able to go to the west without me. ”
Tang Sanzang said angrily: "You cunning beast killed people, how much you have affected me, and now I really can't ask for you!" I can't go, I won't do your business! Go, go! It's a little late, and I'm going to recite the "Tight Mantra" again, this time I will never stop talking, I must pull out your brains before stopping! Sun Wukong's pain was unbearable, and seeing that the master had no intention of returning to his heart, he had no choice but to fly in the air with a somersault cloud, and suddenly realized: "This monk has lost my heart, and I will go to Putuo Mountain to tell Guanyin Bodhisattva that he is talking." ”
Sun Wukong sped up the somersault cloud, and in less than an hour, he came to Putuo Mountain. Then he stayed in Xiangguang, until he reached the mountain, crashed into the purple bamboo forest, and saw the Hui'an walker saluting and said, "What is the matter with the Great Sage?" Sun Wukong said: "I want to see the Bodhisattva." Hui'an then took Sun Wukong to the entrance of the Chaoyin Cave, and saw the good wealth boy saluting and said, "What is the matter with the Great Sage?" Sun Wukong said: "I have something to tell the Bodhisattva." When the good fortune boy heard a notice, he smiled and said, "What a mouth-shut!"
It seems that I was deceived by you when I held Tang Seng! He also said that my Bodhisattva is a bodhisattva with great compassion, great wishes, great wishes, relief from suffering, and boundless saintliness and goodness. Sun Wukong was full of sullenness, and when he heard this, he was angry in his heart, and with a loud voice, he drank the good wealth boy backwards and said: "This ungrateful little beast is really stupid!" At that time, you became a monster, I asked the Bodhisattva to accept you, take refuge in Buddhism, and now you have such a blissful eternal life, free and easy, and live with the sky, and do not worship the old grandson, but ridicule like this!
I have something to ask the Bodhisattva, but how can I say that I want to sue the Bodhisattva? Shancai laughed and said: "I'm still a monkey in a hurry, I'm playing with you, why did you change your face?" ”
At this time, he suddenly saw the white parrot flying around, and knew that it was the Bodhisattva who was calling, so the Hui'an Walker and the Good Wealth Boy guided forward and came to the Baolian Terrace. When Sun Wukong saw the Bodhisattva, he fell down and bowed, couldn't stop his tears from gushing up, and cried loudly. The Bodhisattva hurriedly called Hui'an and good wealth to help him up.
Then he said: "Wukong, if there is anything sad, let's talk about it carefully, don't cry, don't cry, I'll help you save the suffering." Sun Wukong wept and bowed again: "When the disciple was a human being, was he angry with that?" Since the Bodhisattva liberated himself from natural disasters and taught me to protect Tang Seng to worship the Buddha in the west and seek scriptures, my disciple I sacrificed my life to save his demons, just like a tiger snatching brittle bones from its mouth and revealing scales on the dragon's back. Hoping to return to the truth as soon as possible and achieve positive results, wash the karma and eliminate evil, who knows that Tang Seng is ungrateful and ungrateful, and he is obsessed with a piece of good karma, let alone indiscriminate! The Bodhisattva said, "Let me tell me the reason for the innocence." Sun Wukong immediately told the story before and after the killing of Cao Kou.
It is said that Tang Seng was resentful because he killed many people, and he was indiscriminate, so he recited the "Mantra of Tightening" and drove him several times, there was no way to go to heaven and no way to enter the ground, so he came to tell the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva said: "Tang Sanzang traveled west to learn scriptures according to the Buddha's order, and he was determined to be a monk and never hurt his life. But you have immeasurable magical powers, why bother to kill so many grass cowards! Although Cao Kou is bad, it is a human life in the end, and it should not be killed, unlike the monsters, monsters, ghosts, and spirits.
That is killed, it is your merit; This man's life is still your unkindness. Scare them away, and naturally you can save your master. According to me, it's your fault. Sun Wukong kowtowed with tears and said: "Even if the disciple is not good, he should make the merit for his crimes, and he shouldn't drive me away like this." I also hope that the Bodhisattva will be compassionate and recite the "Loose Hoop Mantra", take off this golden hoop, return it to you, and let me still escape to the Water Curtain Cave! ”
The Bodhisattva smiled and said, "The Mantra of Tightening was originally passed on to me. The person who sent me to the East to find the scriptures gave me three treasures, which were a brocade robe, a nine-ring tin staff, a golden hoop, and three secret teachings and spells, but there was no "Loose Hoop Mantra". Sun Wukong said: "In this case, I will leave the Bodhisattva and go." The Bodhisattva said, "Where are you leaving me?" Sun Wukong said: "I went to the west sky, said goodbye, and begged to recite the "Loose Hoop Mantra". The Bodhisattva said, "Slow down, I'll help you see how your fate with your master is." Sun Wukong said: "Don't look at it, I don't want to see it like this." The Bodhisattva said: "I don't look at you, I look at the situation of Tang Seng." The Bodhisattva sat on the lotus platform, carried the Three Realms of the Heart, watched from afar, traveled around the universe, and said at a time: "Wukong, your master will be injured in an instant, and he will come to you soon." You just stay here, wait for me to talk to Tang Seng, and ask him to go with you to learn the scriptures and achieve positive results. ”
The great sage had to follow his words, did not dare to make a mistake, and stood silently under the Baolian stage. It didn't take long for the voice of Hui'an Walker to suddenly come and say, "There is Tang Seng's little apprentice Sha Wujing outside. ”
Sun Wukong heard a smile in the audience: "This must be Tang Seng in trouble, Sha Seng came to invite the Bodhisattva." The Bodhisattva immediately ordered Hui'an to bring it in. The sand monk fell down and bowed, and after worshipping, he raised his head and was about to tell what had come, when he suddenly saw Sun Wukong standing next to him, and without saying a word, he took out the demon wand and slapped Sun Wukong's face. Sun Wukong didn't fight back and dodged it completely. Sha Seng scolded indiscriminately: "You monkey who commits ten evil rebellions! You're here to hide from the Bodhisattva again! The Bodhisattva shouted, "Don't do anything to enlighten yourself, tell me anything beforehand." ”
Sha Seng accepted the demon wand, and then under the lotus stage, he said to the Bodhisattva angrily: "This monkey has been murderous all the way, and it is impossible to count. The day before yesterday, he killed two strongmen who robbed the road at the foot of the hillside, and the master blamed him. Then he stayed at an old man's house at night, but he didn't expect it to be the home of the owner of the thief's den, and he beat a group of thieves to death, and brought a bloody head to show the master.
The master was so frightened that he fell off his horse, scolded him, and drove him away. After the separation, the master was very hungry and thirsty, and asked Bajie to go to find water, but he couldn't wait for a long time, so he asked me to look for him. I never thought that the monkey would see that the two of us were not there, so he came back and beat the master with an iron rod and snatched the two green felt burdens. I waited for him to come back, woke up the master, and came to his water curtain cave to ask him for the burden, I didn't want him to change his face, refused to recognize me, and read the master Guan Wen again and again.
I asked him what he was doing here, and he said that he would not protect Tang Seng, he would go to the west to learn scriptures, send them to the east soil, count his merits, and make him his ancestor, and spread it through the ages. I said again: No Tang monk, the Buddha is willing to pass on the scriptures to you? He said that he had chosen a true monk who had the way. As soon as I was invited, it was a white horse, a Tang monk, followed by Bajie and Sha Seng. I know that I am the Sand Monk, and that Sand Monk must be a fake.
I immediately rushed forward and struck him with a magic staff, which turned out to be a monkey spirit. He told the crowd to take me, and I quickly escaped and came to the Bodhisattva. I don't know that he made a somersault cloud and was the first to come here, and I don't know what kind of rhetoric he used to hide from the Bodhisattva. The Bodhisattva said: "Wujing, don't rely on people, Wukong has been here for four days, I didn't let him go back, where does he have another Tang monk, go to learn scriptures?" ”
Sha Seng said: "Could it be that the Monkey King of the Water Curtain Cave is fake now?" The Bodhisattva said: "It must be so, you are in a hurry, let Wukong go to Huaguo Mountain with you to have a look." Whether it's true or not, you'll see when you get there. When Sun Wukong heard this, he immediately resigned from the Bodhisattva with Sha Seng. This traveler and the sand monk bowed goodbye to the Bodhisattva, raised two auspicious lights, and left the South China Sea.
Originally, Sun Wukong's somersault cloud was fast, and the sand monk Xianyun was slow, so Sun Wukong had to go first. Sha Seng grabbed and said, "Senior brother won't go to arrange it first, or go with junior brother." Sun Wukong was in a hurry, but Sha Seng was suspicious, and then the two of them drove away together. Not long after, came to Huaguo Mountain, pressed the cloud head, the two of them took a closer look outside the cave, and saw a Monkey King, sitting on the stone platform, drinking and having fun with the monkeys.
