Walking along the main road, you can often see monks in tattered clothes and begging on the ground on the side of the road.

"Master, so rich here, why do these monks come out to beg?" Wukong slowed down and turned around and asked.

At this moment, a little monk about the size of a red boy stopped in front of Tang San, holding a rotten bowl and begging, "Elder, let's give me something to eat." ”

"Where's the kid, go away. Wukong scolded.

When the child saw Wukong's hideous face, he was immediately frightened and ran to an old monk who had fainted, looking at Tang San pitifully.

"Brother Monkey, that's just a little monk, you see it scares people. Bajie said.

Tang San turned over and dismounted, walked in front of the little monk, and said, "Little monk, why are you begging here, who are you?"

When the little monk saw Tang Sanshan's soft face, he said, "My master is hungry and faint, and I want to order something for him to eat." ”

Tang San sighed, called Wukong and said, "Wake up this old monk." ”

Hearing this, Wukong took a step forward, and a puff of white gas poured into the body of the old monk lying on the ground.

The next moment, the old monk woke up immediately, and when the little monk saw him wake up, he cried excitedly, hugged the old monk, and choked up: "Master, I thought I wouldn't see you anymore." ”

Raising his hand and wiping away the tears on the little monk's face, the old monk looked at Tang San and the others, "This elder is." ”

"Master, it was this Uncle Monkey who woke you up. The little monk looked at Wukong, and was busy kowtowing on the ground a few times, and the old monk also thanked him again and again.

"Amitabha. Tang San clasped his hands together, bowed, and asked, "I see that this place is prosperous, where are you monks, why are you begging along the street?"

The old monk sighed, pointed in the direction Tang San was about to go, and said, "We are the wronged monks of the Jinguang Temple in front. ”

Jinguang Temple?

Tang San was stunned when he heard this, as if he remembered something, but he couldn't remember it clearly, and after a while, he asked again, "What country is this? How did you get wronged?"

"Well, that's a long story. The old monk sighed again and said: "We are here to worship the country, there is a Zen temple in the country, called Jinguang Temple, the temple has thousands of monks, and the incense is prosperous. ”

"Since the incense is prosperous, why did it fall into such a field, and what kind of injustice did you get?" Wukong suddenly interrupted the old monk's words and asked.

"Don't you know this elder, our temple is only called Jinguang Temple, because there is a pagoda in the temple, and there is a relic on the high tower that shines golden at night, shining for thousands of miles. ”

"Oh, it's still a baby. Bajie said happily.

"A month ago, in the middle of the night, a strong wind suddenly blew, and when the wind disappeared, the relics disappeared with it. ”

Saying this, the old monk choked, took a deep breath, and said: "The next day, the news reached the ears of the king, and the king was immediately furious, saying that we had secretly hidden the relics, so we were all driven out, and the presiding officer and many stewards were pressed into the prison, and words and deeds extorted confessions. ”

"That relic is a treasure that we have guarded for generations, how could anyone steal it, so the king ordered that no one should be allowed to burn incense for the Jinguang Temple, so we fell to this point. ”

"Even if we come out to beg, the government will not allow anyone to give us alms, otherwise people from other government will arrest us and beat us with fifty boards. ”

The more the old monk spoke, the more sad he became, and he hugged the little monk and cried.

"Many senior brothers are starving to death, woo-woo..." The little monk cried bitterly, and tears fell on the old monk's monk's robe.

After listening to the old monk's words, Tang San suddenly remembered this plot.

In the Journey to the West movie, the relics on this pagoda were stolen by the nine-headed insect in Bibotan, and the nine-headed insect was the guy who brought the hat to the little white dragon.

When Wukong heard this, his face turned blue with anger, and he scolded angrily: "This bastard king, when my grandson sneaks into the palace, he will be killed with a stick." ”

Hearing this, Tang San turned his head and glanced at Wukong, and then said to the old monk: "Old donor, you take us to Jinguang Temple, we can help you solve this matter." ”

When the old monk heard that Tang San could help them solve the problem, he was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Tang San and the others carefully, and said helplessly: "Thank you for your kindness, most of the relics were stolen by monsters, how can it be so easy to find, if you can't find the relics, the king will not let us go." ”

"Old donor, my master said that if he can help you solve it, it will be fine, not to mention that the monster stole it, even if it was taken away by the gods in the sky, we can also find it back. Wujing stepped forward and said.

When the old monk heard this, his face suddenly changed, and his whole person became excited, "Really, elder, can you really help us recover the relics?"

"Hmph," Bajie snorted coldly and said, "I am the Marshal of the Heavenly Canopy, that is the Monkey King who is making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, and this child is the son of the Bull Demon King of the Great Sage of Heaven..."

After introducing everyone, Bajie walked up to Tang San and said solemnly: "This is our master Tang Sanzang, there has never been anything he can't do, has Manjushri Bodhisattva heard of it, and the relationship with our master is not ordinarily good." ”

No, I don't admire Bajie's sycophant, that's quite in place.

The old monk was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes kept sweeping over several people.

Wukong and others also secretly praised Bajie, praised a circle of people, and finally praised the master to the sky.

In fact, Bajie didn't say any nonsense, this is indeed the truth.

"Ahem. Tang San covered his mouth and coughed lightly twice, and said seriously: "Bajie, don't leak our details, we monks should keep a low profile, understand, I won't punish you as a teacher this time, you can't talk nonsense in the future." ”

Tang San's meaning, who of them didn't understand, it was clear that it was the Eight Precepts, in fact, he was praising him for being able to speak, and it was the right time to say it.

"Yes, yes, remember. Bajie agreed, turned his head and looked at a few senior brothers, his face full of pride.

It's as if to say, "Well, I'll learn a little bit in the future." ”

"Old donor, you can take us to Jinguang Temple now, and I will meet the Holy Lord early tomorrow morning and settle this matter. Tang San said.

When the old monk heard this, he immediately knelt on the ground and said, "The poor monk thanked Elder Tang for the monks of Jinguang Temple. ”

Tang San stretched out his hand to pick up the old monk, and the master and apprentice followed him along the main road and walked towards the southwest.

Along the way, they met a lot of monks begging like them, and some people who knew the old monks would come to answer, and after knowing that Tang San could find the relics for them and relieve their grievances, they all knelt down and bowed.
