Chapter 54: Zhu Ziguo
Sun Wukong nodded, and soon, he came to a house, this person's yard is quite large, and it seems that it is relatively wealthy. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info has walked so many ways, I don't remember how many people I have borrowed money from, Sun Wukong has already had experience. You can't find a small family or go to a poor family. The small family is small, and there is no room for so many people. Poor people are already poor, and they can't afford to eat with Zhu Bajie's big belly.
So every time Sun Wukong will pick some people with large courtyards and large populations to spend the night. When he arrived at the door, Tang Sanzang stepped forward and knocked on the door, and soon, a person who looked like a family member squeaked open a door. Seeing this, Tang Sanzang hurriedly folded his hands and said, "Amitabha, little donor, I don't know if your master can do it?"
Tang Sanzang is also very experienced now, if the person who opens the door is a servant of the family, then don't directly say anything about the nightstay or something, because the servant of this family can't be the master at all, and it is useless to say it. Seeing that Tang Sanzang was extraordinary, the family nodded and said, "Master, wait a minute, I'll go and report it." Seeing that the family had a more kind attitude, Tang Sanzang was a little relieved.
What kind of person is the family, then the owner of this family is probably also about the same temperament. If the servant who opened the door had a bad attitude and was very impatient, under normal circumstances, Tang Sanzang turned around and left. Because even if you call the master out, most of them will not end well. This is not the Tang Dynasty, not everyone respects the Buddha and keeps the good, many people are just ordinary people, even if they say that they are Tang monks, people will not have any surprise or respect.
Moreover, many countries on the Western Path do not believe in Buddhism or even resist Buddhism. Just as Tang Sanzang was thinking, an old man had already come to the door surrounded by several family members. Seeing Tang Sanzang, he hurriedly folded his hands and said, "I don't know where the holy monk came from?" Tang Sanzang smiled slightly and said: "The poor monk is from the Eastern Tang Dynasty. ā
The old man thought about it carefully, but shook his head and said: "Forgive the old man for his shallow knowledge, I don't know where the Tang Dynasty is, but my family has always respected the Buddha and worshiped the Buddha, and the holy monk is invited quickly." As soon as the old man finished speaking, he suddenly caught a glimpse of Sun Wukong and the others behind Tang Sanzang, his face changed, but he quickly recovered, and said to Tang Sanzang: "Who are these people?"
Tang Sanzang smiled apologetically and said: "I forgot to introduce, old donor, these are my apprentices, although their appearance is a little strange, but they are all kind-hearted, the old donor doesn't need to be afraid." "A lot of things like this have happened along the way, and the master and apprentice have long been surprised. The old man nodded, people who believe in Buddhism are kind-hearted, and they know that Sun Wukong and others are disciples of holy monks, and they are no longer afraid. On the contrary, he cast a reverent look at Tang Sanzang.
Only Buddhist monks who have cultivated to a high level can accept these strange-looking people as disciples. The old man stretched out his hand again and motioned for Tang Sanzang and a few people to enter the courtyard, and Tang Sanzang was no longer polite, and went into the courtyard first. In fact, many times, Tang Sanzang will not walk in the front, it has always been Sun Wukong who walks in the front, Zhu Bajie protects next to Tang Sanzang, and Sha Wujing walks last.
But today Sun Wukong said early in the morning that there is no demonic spirit in this village, and there are absolutely no monsters to cause trouble, so Tang Sanzang walked in front and entered the courtyard first. At this time, the old man noticed Zhu Bajie dragging on the back of the white dragon horse, and couldn't help but wonder: "Dare to ask the holy monk, at this time?" The old man originally wanted to say how there was a pig on the back of this horse, but he remembered the disciples of the holy monk on the head of these people, so he temporarily changed his words.
Tang Sanzang hurriedly said: "This is my second apprentice, I fought with monsters before, and I was accidentally injured, and I bothered to ask the old donor to vacate a spare room and give my apprentice a rest." Originally, this old man had a lot of respect for Tang Sanzang, but now when he heard that Zhu Bajie was actually injured because of a fight with monsters, his demeanor immediately changed and became extremely respectful.
The old man hurriedly ordered someone to clean up a guest room for Zhu Bajie, and then Sun Wukong carried Zhu Bajie on his back and put Zhu Bajie on the bed to rest. Sun Wukong and Tang Sanzang followed the old man in front of the guest room. Originally, Tang Sanzang also wanted Sun Wukong to take a rest, but Sun Wukong was not at ease and asked Lao Sha to sleep first. In fact, Tang Sanzang didn't sleep all night, but he couldn't just go to the house and the four of them fell asleep with their heads covered.
When they arrived at the guest room, the old man ordered someone to make tea and pour water for Tang Sanzang and Sun Wukong. After taking a sip of tea, Sun Wukong asked the old man: "Uncle, what are you here?" The old man hurriedly said respectfully: "Here, it was originally called Anle Village, but later someone in the village built a Buddha statue, and this Buddha statue was shown many times, so later this village was renamed Xian Buddha Village." ā
Hearing the old man's words, Sun Wukong suddenly sighed. The old man said that there was only one more Buddha statue here a few years ago, and the Buddha statue has appeared many times, needless to say, this must be the trick of the Buddha. It was already decided that Sun Wukong and they would pass by here to learn scriptures in the west, so they built a Buddha statue to supervise Sun Wukong and others. The reason for the many apparitions is probably to deter the surrounding monsters and the villagers here, and to prevent the Buddha statue from being destroyed.
Sun Wukong thought for a while and said, "What kind of Buddha statue is that?" The old man said respectfully: "It's a Western Garuda Buddha." As soon as the old man said this, Sun Wukong frowned. Garuda turned out to be the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird, which subdued the eight dragons and dragons in the Thousand Buddhist Teachings, and became a Buddha in the world above at the end of this virtuous tribulation.
The Dapeng Goldfinch is not a mythical bird, nor is it a mystery, but it appeared in the world a long time ago. Generally, birds are egg-born, but Dapeng birds are a little different in that there are four kinds of viviparity, oviparity, wet growth, and metaplasia, so there are four kinds of Dapeng birds: white, black, red, and yellow. In some classics, there are five and six species, five species: white Dapeng goldfinch, black Dapeng goldfinch, red Dapeng goldfin, yellow Dapeng goldfin, green Dapeng goldfinch, six species: white, black, red, yellow, green, color (variegated) Dapeng goldfinch and so on.
All kinds of Dapeng birds, all feed on dragons and snakes, according to the highest classic records of Buddhism, the earth was covered with huge demon dragons and floods at the beginning of human beings, human beings can not survive, such as the Buddha sent these Dapeng gold-winged birds to peck away the demon dragon, for the survival of human beings to create a peaceful world, so since ancient times people worship this kind of Dapeng gold-winged bird, the Dapeng gold-winged bird as the protector god as the spiritual sustenance of blessing peace.
The Dapeng Goldfinch is not actually the title of a single bird, but the collective name of the Golden-winged family among the Dapeng birds. And there are many kinds of golden-winged Dapeng birds, legend has it that this bird's wings are golden, the wings are 3.36 million miles apart, and they often live in the big iron tree in the north of Mount Meru.
It is said that the heart of the Dapeng bird is a jewel, after death fell to the bottom of the sea, was obtained by the dragon king, worn on the top, according to which can protect the threat of the roc, this is a folklore, the leader of the world Dapeng has the golden eye and winged bird king. However, the powerful race of the Dapeng bird has gradually disappeared with the passage of time, and now there is only one Dapeng bird known in the world, that is, the Dapeng golden-winged bird of Buddhism.
This Dapeng golden-winged bird, although it is also a Buddha, is not strong in cultivation, just because of its mother, the Peacock Daming King. The Peacock King is known as the Mother of the Buddha, so the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird can be regarded as the brother of the Buddha, so it was named the Buddha and known as the Golden-winged Buddha.
These are all that Sun Wukong knows, all about the Dapeng Golden-winged Bird. He sneered secretly in his heart, but he didn't expect that this time Rulai actually sent a Dapeng Golden-winged Bird, which made Sun Wukong extremely puzzled. In terms of strength, the Dapeng Goldfinch is far from being the opponent of the Immovable Buddha in the East. Therefore, sending this person over now is simply sending him to death, but the Buddha would not make such a low-level mistake. Just as Sun Wukong was thinking about it, Tang Sanzang suddenly asked the old man: "Old donor, is there a country here?"
The old man seemed to think for a while and said, "Yes, seven hundred miles from now on, there is a country called Zhu Ziguo. Originally, our village also belonged to Zhu Ziguo, but within a few years, the king of Zhu Ziguo fell ill and gradually ignored the government, so no one took care of our village. ā
