Chapter 203: Ten Thousand Monks Do Not Stop (1)
Leaving the Tianzhu King City and walking for half a month, the westward journey team came to Tongtai Mansion. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
The government of Tongtai Mansion is located in Diling County. There was a clerk in the county who had a lot of money, and when he was forty years old, he made a vow to give fasting to 10,000 monks.
Tang Seng and his apprentices got the guidance of the local old man and came to the door of Kou Yuanwai's house.
The Kou family is indeed a rich man, just look at the gatehouse to know. The gatehouse is high in the middle, low on both sides, shaped like a tiger, and the momentum is magnificent. Looking in from outside the door, I only saw a shadow wall, on which were written four big characters: "Ten thousand monks do not hinder".
Tang Seng sighed: "I didn't believe it before, how could anyone be so fasting a monk? It deserves to be the Buddha Land of the West!"
When Kou Yuanwai learned that four monks were coming, he hurriedly greeted him out, and he was not afraid of Sun Wukong, a non-human, and enthusiastically invited Tang monks and apprentices into his home.
All the way through the hall through the pavilion, the outside of the staff all the way to introduce, the Buddha hall, the scripture hall, the hall are complete.
After sitting down in the prayer hall and serving tea, the two sides began to introduce themselves.
"The disciple's name is Kou Hong, and he is sixty-four this year. Twenty-four years ago, I vowed to fast and offer to ten thousand monks, and now I have enshrined 9,996 eminent monks, plus four lamas, and it is complete!"
After hearing this, Lao Zhu kept shaking his head in his heart.
The king of France wants to kill 10,000 monks, and there is a servant in Tianzhu Kingdom, who wants to give fasting to 10,000 monks, and both of them are four places short of achieving the goal, just waiting for Tang monks and apprentices to come to the door!
If you look at a single story, it's fine, but when you compare the two, you will feel that there is a strong irony in it.
Is Buddhism being overshadowed? Otherwise, the wrong person who wrote the script was found?
In the Kou family, there is a Buddhist hall to worship the Buddha, there is a scripture hall to chant the scriptures, and the dining hall can supply vegetarian wine at any time, and Tang Seng has lived the most comfortable days.
The vow of the monks to fast is fulfilled, and they are ready to do a consummation ceremony.
Twenty-four local monks were invited to copy the scriptures for three or four days. Then, after doing Buddha deeds for three days and three nights, reciting all the Buddhas in the heavens, it is over.
In the blink of an eye, the Journey to the West team had been staying at Kou's house for half a month.
Tang Seng learned the scriptures with great sincerity, and when he saw that the Kou family had finished doing the Fa, he resolutely resigned.
Outside the Kou Yuan, the whole family, young and old, spoke out to keep them.
Kou Yuanwai: "The master is in a hurry to leave, but because my family is doing things, I neglected you, do you want to blame?"
Tang Seng hurriedly explained: "If you disturb your mansion for many days, you can't repay it, where can you dare to blame it?" It's just that the poor monk was ordered to learn scriptures, which lasted for 14 spring and autumn periods, and he has been delayed for too much time, so he doesn't dare to stay for a long time!"
Mrs. Kou said: "This half month is considered to be my old man's monk, and the old woman has saved some money by doing needlework, and she also wants to support four people for half a month, and she also asks the master to complete it!"
Tang Seng still refused.
Kou Yuanwai's two sons also came to join in the fun, saying: "It is said that merit should be cultivated by oneself, and my mother wants to be a monk to accumulate virtue, so why should the master refuse? The Guru will grant us this wish, right?"
Half a month plus half a month, that's a full month!
It's only 800 miles away from Lingshan, how can you delay here?
Tang Seng was anxious, and his tone was resolute: "We must leave today, we can't delay, please don't blame you! Otherwise, the poor monk is deliberately delaying the holy decree, and the crime cannot be punished!"
People have good intentions to keep guests, but what do you say that delays the holy decree and the sin cannot be punished, what do you mean?
Mrs. Kou's heart was on fire, and she scolded her two sons angrily: "I was kind enough to keep him, but he insisted on leaving! If people want to leave, let him go, what are you talking about?"
She turned around and walked away with her two sons.
Sun Wukong stood behind Tang Seng and snickered.
Tang Seng turned his head and looked at Sun Monkey angrily, and his tone was extremely stern: "What are you laughing at?"
Sun Monkey was frightened and hurriedly said, "I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh, I didn't laugh." Don't chant the mantra!"
Seeing that Tang Seng was angry, Kou Yuan didn't dare to force him to stay, and said, "Master, I will rest in the cold house today and see you off early tomorrow morning, how about it?"
So, Tang monks and apprentices stayed at Kou's house for another night.
Early the next morning, Kou Yuan summoned many guests to see off Tang monks and apprentices together. With so many guests, it is natural to have a banquet.
By the time the banquet was over, it was already noon.
Finally got out of the door of Kou's house, and Tang Seng was stunned by the big scene in front of the gatehouse.
I saw the tiger of the Kou family sitting in front of the gatehouse, crowded, flying flags of various colors, and equipped with a complete set of bands. As soon as I saw the Tang monks and apprentices appear, the drums suddenly sounded, the suona followed, the gongs and sounds, and all kinds of loud music filled the ears, and the whole county was a festive hustle and bustle.
Knocking and beating all the way, the Tang monk and apprentice were sent out of the ten-mile long pavilion, and under the repeated pleas of Tang Seng, the send-off band turned back.
and persuaded the Kou members to go back, so that the westward journey team could travel west with peace of mind.
The four of them didn't go far, it was already dark, and it was going to rain, so they could only find a few dilapidated abandoned houses on the side of the road, and they would spend the night.
I set off at dawn and walked out of a cup of tea, but I encountered a gang of robbers blocking the road and robbing it!
Twenty or thirty of the robbers stopped in the middle of the road, shouting, "Monk, leave the money to buy the road, and spare your lives." Dare to say half a word, one knife at a time, and never leave a living mouth!"
The robbery actually grabbed Sun Wukong's head, can there be a good one?
Sun Wukong stepped forward with a grin, and a "fixation technique" fixed all the robbers there, and no one could move.
When torturing the robbers, I learned that the Kou family was patronized by this gang of robbers last night, they robbed a lot of property, came here to share the spoils, saw Tang Seng and his apprentices coming, and wanted to get another vote, but they were planted!
Hearing that the Kou family was robbed, Tang Seng thanked the Kou family and asked the apprentices to collect all the stolen goods and plan to return them to the Kou family.
Sun Wukong had killed robbers before, was tortured by Tang Seng very badly, and was expelled, and was later taken advantage of by the six-eared macaque. Facing the robbers again, he already had a psychological shadow, and he didn't dare to kill again, and after retrieving the money, he let the robbers leave.
Lao Zhu didn't think so, but he didn't say anything to stop it.
is about to arrive at Lingshan, and he doesn't want to be troubled, so let's hurry up and end the farce of Journey to the West!
The four of them turned around and walked back, but they were stopped again on the way, this time it was the Yamen's catch.
It turned out that when the Kou family was robbed by robbers last night, Kou Yuanwai actually stood up to stop it, but was kicked to death by the robbers! Mrs. Kou resented Tang Seng in her heart for not letting her accumulate virtue for fasting monks, and planted all the things on Tang Seng's master and apprentices, and even sued them to the government office.
Tang Seng inexplicably became a bandit leader, and was caught by a group of fast arresters! Alas, this is a whole thing!
The arresters escorted them to the palace and asked Lord Shi about the case in person.
Tang Seng will recount his experience after leaving the Kou family in detail.
When he was arrested, he found stolen goods, and there were a lot of them, so how could Master Assassin Shi believe him! Seeing that Tang Seng was still quibbling, he naturally became angry and shouted and scolded.
Tang Seng was frightened, and asked Sun Wukong for help in a hurry: "Wukong, quickly explain the matter clearly?"
Sun Wukong said: "Everyone has stolen money, what else do you explain?"
Tang Seng was stunned for an instant, and Lao Zhu and Sha Seng were also dumbfounded.
Others are cheating fathers, Sun Monkey is going to pit the master?
Lao Zhu is not familiar with this plot and doesn't know how it was originally arranged, but Sun Wukong has done it too outrageously, and he really can't stand it.
"Lord Thorn Shi, I came from afar, just to learn from the west, there is a customs clearance document as proof, and there is your country on the document——"
"Nerd, shut up!"
Sun Monkey not only admitted to robbing the Kou family's property, but also did not let Zhu Tianpeng defend himself, what did he want to do?
