Chapter 57: Yan Chixia
Grandma held the Buddhist scriptures in her arms and said lightly: "Is it because of the Buddhist scriptures that I have to come back from the dead?"
In the Buddhist scriptures, a monk's voice suddenly sounded: "Extremely prosperous with three thousand, but in a snap of a finger, after a hundred years of clouds, it is just a handful of yellow sand." Not arguing is compassion, not arguing is wisdom, not hearing troubles is purity, not looking at right and wrong is being at ease, not being greedy is generosity, breaking evil is doing good, repentance is repentance, humility is worshipping the Buddha, keeping etiquette is keeping precepts, forgiving is liberation, contentment is letting go, and benefiting others is self-interest. In the world is like a lotus, pure and elegant, not dirty, look down on flashiness, and self-nature is home. ”
"Are you a master of Sama?" Grandma picked up the Buddhist scriptures, shocked and shocked.
At this time, the golden light in the Buddhist scriptures flashed, and the door of the Tibetan Scripture Pavilion was broken, and an illusory figure appeared under the big locust tree.
The big locust tree is the body of grandma, this illusory figure is an old monk, the old monk exudes a little silver light, like a dream. He sat cross-legged under the locust tree, folded his palms, closed his eyes, and recited the scriptures.
At this time, the nine-story stone building slowly disappeared into the ground, and the lively scene of the demon market suddenly disappeared, and it changed back to the previous bleak scene, and there was no trace of it in an instant.
Eventually, the big locust tree in front of the old monk also turned into a night moonlight that flew away and dispersed with the breeze, and finally became a lonely and dilapidated temple, with no monk's room or scripture pavilion. The light on the old monk's body also disappeared, and he turned into a middle-aged monk wearing a robe, who was much younger in an instant. It seems that at this moment, the long river of time has passed, from the past to the present, from the underworld to the human world in a trance, like a dream, it is difficult to distinguish between truth and falsehood.
But the four monkeys were lost in that desolate woods at the moment, unable to find their way out. Even Sun Wukong was trapped in it and couldn't get out.
"All things are like dreams and bubbles, like dew and electricity, and they should be viewed as such. ”
The monk shouted, and when the four monkeys heard the monk's words, they suddenly woke up like a dream, walked out of the forest, and returned to the temple, but they did not see any figure, and the monk disappeared.
"What's going on?" Tang Xuansong looked confused, and the other three were also confused by what they saw tonight.
Sun Wukong once again used his fiery eyes, scanning every place around, but he couldn't see anything unusual.
"Is there anything in this world that my grandson can't see through?" Sun Wukong muttered suspiciously, he always felt that he had overlooked something, but he couldn't think clearly for a while.
"Why is this wind hot and cold?" said Night Quicksand, puzzled.
Listening to the words of the night quicksand, Sun Wukong woke up like a dream and suddenly realized. said: "The strange thing about this place is that the two qi of yin and yang converge chaotically, the demons are hidden, and the yin ghosts gather but there is the suppression of the Buddha qi of this Lanruo Temple. The power of the three drums forms an irregular world, which is called the Lanruo world for the time being. ”
"I don't understand what you mean. Tang Xuansong shook his head and said, Ye Liusha and Liu Xingyan also became more and more confused the more they listened.
"You don't understand, simply put, this is a separate chaotic world within a radius. There are people, demons, and ghosts here. Perhaps, the place we are in now also has ghosts standing here. But we can't see each other, we can't touch each other, it's like two different worlds. When the monkey said this, it seemed that he suddenly realized something, and said loudly: "Time and space are disordered, and reincarnation is reversed! 10,000 years may be just a moment, and at the same time of death, it may have been reborn! It is the only one who can have such a supernatural ability!"
"Who?" the other three asked in unison.
The monkey pointed to the sky, then leaned in front of the three of them and whispered, "The law does not pass on the six ears!"
"What is the Fa, and who is the six ears?" said Night Quicksand with wide eyes and a blank face.
"The six-eared macaque is good at listening to sounds, can perceive reason, knows before and after, and everything is clear. At that time, the six-eared macaque was stealing art everywhere in the flood wilderness, so there was a way not to pass on the six-eared theory. Back then, it also pretended to be my grandson to go to Huaguo Mountain to occupy the mountain as the king, I and it is difficult to distinguish the true from the false, I went to find the Guanyin Bodhisattva and could not see the result, the Bodhisattva of the King of the Earth under the Divine Beast Truth also dared to assert that he did not dare to speak, and finally went to the West Heaven to find the Buddha, so that it appeared. At that time, I thought it had been ambushed, but I don't know if the secrecy of 10,000 years ago has anything to do with it. ”
Sun Wukong recalls the past, and he remembers his former enemies and friends, but he only forgets what happened before he fell asleep.
"The night is long, and I have no intention of sleep~" Tang Xuansong basically couldn't understand what the monkey said, he stretched his waist, spoke deliberately with a long voice with an end note, and stared at the bleak moon in the sky with extreme boredom.
Tang Xuansong pointed to the moon and said, "Look, the moon is boring and dim. ”
"It seems that a bird flew over......" Tang Xuansong had nothing to say there, and no one paid attention to him.
"It flew to the moon......" Tang Xuansong stretched out his hand, but still no one paid attention to him.
"It's falling......" Tang Xuansong opened his mouth in shock.
"It seems to be a person!" Tang Xuansong was so frightened that he hid directly behind the monkey.
At this time, all four of them looked to the sky, and found that there was indeed a figure under the moon that was falling towards it, and the figure was getting closer and closer, and finally plunged into the dirt with a thud, and ate a dog to gnaw on the mud.
The man carried a great sword on his back, and the great sword fell upside down in the dirt with him. Seeing this, Night Quicksand immediately laughed, walked over and made a posture of pulling out the weeping willows, and even pulled out the sword with a person.
This person who fell from the sky had a face full of mud at the moment, and there was grass on the mud, he spat and wiped his dirty face with his hands, staring at the four people in front of him, especially when he saw the monkey, he suddenly took a step back with his long sword, and roared: "You are waiting for strange people, you dare to break into Lanruo Temple at night, aren't you afraid that grandma will eat you?"
Liu Xingyan took a step forward and said to him: "Who are you, who is grandma? Why did you fall from the sky, and why did you come here in the middle of the night?"
"My surname is Yan Chixia, and I have been guarding Lanruo Temple for many years, one is to wait for the monk to come out, and the other is to find a place for my grandmother to live. However, I searched for hundreds of miles around here, but I didn't know where my grandmother had roots. Yan Chixia saw that the four of them had no malicious intent, so he put away his big sword and walked over and said slowly.
Tang Xuansong looked at Yan Chixia's embarrassed appearance at this time, couldn't help laughing, and said: "So you flew into the sky and fell down in order to find your grandmother, you are really a filial child." ”
Yan Chixia touched her beard and said, "This grandma is not my grandma, and of course it is not your grandma. This grandmother is a tree demon who occupies Lanruo Temple all the year round, it controls the creatures within a radius of hundreds of miles, and eats people's hearts and makes wine with bile. That's why I said that you dare to spend the night in this Lanruo Temple, it's really bold. ”
"So, there is a monk in this Lanruo Temple besides you?" Liu Xingyan asked rhetorically.
Yan Chixia nodded and said, "That's right, Suma and I have been together for a hundred years. A hundred years ago, he agreed with me to meet me at the customs today, a hundred years later, but the hundred-year period has passed, but he is still nowhere to be seen. ”
Hearing Yan Chixia mention the monk, Ye Liusha pointed to the forest in the distance and said, "We were trapped in the forest on that side just now and couldn't get out, and we only got out of trouble when we heard the voice of a monk." Could it be that the monk is the person you are looking for?"
"Really, he's out of the customs, tell me where he's gone?" Yan Chixia said excitedly, holding the hand of the night quicksand.
Night quicksand shook off Yan Chixia's arm, revealing a very disgusted look. Liu Xingyan couldn't help laughing, lowered his head and smiled, and said, "We just heard the monk's voice, but we didn't see his people. ”
"That must be him, he has been like this when I met him a hundred years ago, always coming and going, mysterious. Yan Chixia said with a firm face.
Tang Xuansong stared at Yan Chixia and said, "Are you Gui Geng this year?"
"I'm two in my Chinese New Year's Eve, you should call me brother!" Yan Chixia smiled and said loudly.
"Let's not blow the cold wind here, since you are not afraid, let's go to the temple to rest. Yan Chixia walked over and pushed open the gate of Lanruo Temple, and the four of them followed behind him, Tang Xuansong said more and more puzzled: "You are eighty percent sick, you are only thirty-two years old, why did you know someone else a hundred years ago?"
Yan Chixia was stunned when she heard this, turned her head to look at Tang Xuansong, scratched her head, and said: "Yes, I should be one hundred and thirty-two years old, why do I feel that I am only thirty-two years old? Besides, how is the hundred years in my memory different from what I have experienced? I have been thinking about this question for a long time, and I have never been able to understand it, so I have been waiting for the old monk to come out of the customs, so I asked him carefully what is going on." ”
With that, several people had already returned to the temple. The four monkeys and Yan Chixia were not dirty, they lay on the ground one after another, and the five of them closed their eyes at the same time in a tacit understanding, and they all wanted to sleep but couldn't sleep.
The monkey turned over to face Yan Chixia, never opened his eyes, and said, "You have lived here for so long, haven't you noticed anything wrong?"
"Of course I've noticed that the nights are longer than the day, and sometimes a night feels like days have passed, so I don't know exactly how old I am. Also, I can always hear strange noises around here, but I just can't find anyone. A hundred years ago, I could still see those demons and monsters, but I haven't seen those demons since I met the old monk. Yan Chixia didn't open her eyes either, and closed her eyes and talked to the monkey face to face.
The monkey pinched his nose and said, "You have bad breath." ”
Yan Chixia pursed her lips: "You are the same." ”
"I slept for 10,000 years, do you believe it or not?"
"Then I'm thirty-two years old now, but I remember what happened a hundred years ago, do you believe it?"
"I believe it. ”
"I believe it too. ”
