Chapter Seventy-Four: Ride the Lotus to the Spirit Mountain
It is said that Tang Sanzang and several people tossed down, and finally got the number of five thousand and forty-eight volumes of the Sanzang Sutra and one collection, Tang Sanzang also got the opportunity to get rid of the mortal womb, and he was overjoyed, and he first boarded the golden cloud and the apprentices in the Xiao Han Dynasty, and wanted to go to the Tang Dynasty in the south of Zhan Buzhou, and a few people talked about each other very happily, but there is an old saying: "Happiness and sorrow are born of sorrow, and those who think that blessings and misfortunes depend on each other!" At this time, Wukong took advantage of his unpreparedness and scattered the golden clouds under his feet into smoke, teaching him a few people to fall from the clouds, but he took the scripture book and used some sand and stones to turn it into a jingdan and returned it, so he also did something to steal the sky and change the day, and then sneered, and a somersault went back to Lingtai Fangcun Mountain.
That Tang Sanzang a few people suddenly looked, the Sutra has already fallen on the back of a turtle, this turtle is not an extraordinary turtle, it is a spirit turtle in the purple bamboo forest lotus pond of the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva Dojo, soaked in the lotus pond, listen to Guanyin every day to talk about the scriptures, then also feel the wisdom, but it is a pity that it was not able to get rid of the shell, the achievement of a human body, Guanyin has already calculated, when he traveled west, he taught him to come from the South China Sea, Tang Sanzang crossed the Tongtian River, and completed a success, he also planned to make a good relationship with Tang Sanzang this time, when people were not as good as the sky, without knowing it, but helped Wukong。
Tang Sanzang saw that this turtle was psychic, panicked and thanked him again and again, the turtle was happy in his heart, and said secretly: "Guanyin Bodhisattva is really a good means, taught me to form a good fate, carried this holy monk and scriptures, and it will not be far from the day when I take off the thousand-year-old tortoise shell scale armor, and when I have cultivated my human body, I can go to the South China Sea Guanyin Bodhisattva to get a venerable or something, that black bear spirit can be a great god who guards the mountain, I have been nesting in the lotus pond for thousands of years, and it should be the day to come out!"
But it was said that Wukong got the scriptures and was happy to come to Xu Bodhi Patriarch, but he saw a few senior brothers practicing in front of the Sanxing Cave, so he stopped and looked at it for a while, and then he was about to leave, but those fellow brothers didn't recognize Wukong, seeing him like that, it was very strange and very fierce, I was afraid that the demons would break into the fairy mountain, so I heard one of them shout: "Where are the foreign Taoist friends from, Hugh has to break in!" Wukong was happy in his heart, and he couldn't help but want to play tricks on these fellow brothers who he had hardly seen on weekdays, so as to enhance his feelings.
So he opened his mouth and said with a smile: "Hahaha! Poor Dao came here today to meet Patriarch Su Bodhi, and by the way, I will send some treasures!" The voice was extremely hoarse, as if he was really a person who had been practicing for many years, and he was about to step away, but the person dodged in place and came to Wukong to block it, and said: "Oh, since you recognize my master, that's fine, but my master is talking to a few visiting immortal friends in the cave. Wukong smiled and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I've seen it since I saw it." The man was about to speak, but Wukong suddenly turned his body around and turned into his true appearance.
When the man saw that it was Wukong, he couldn't help but be stunned, and several other people were also watching with bricks, and when they saw this, they heard one of them called Yinfan laugh and said: "Hahaha! Senior Brother Wukong is so capable, even Senior Brother Zhiming's mana can't see through you, but you have been tricked around, and I don't know the slightest clue, hahaha!" After that, he couldn't help laughing again. This Zhiming is the third generation of Zhizi among the twelve disciples of Patriarch Subodhi, and he is the proud disciple of Patriarch Subodhi, and he is already the cultivation of Daluo Heavenly Immortal, although he has just stepped into this hurdle, but it is already very good.
Zhiming heard the ridicule of his junior brother, but he was not annoyed, he just glanced at Yinfan lightly, and said with a smile: "Okay, okay, don't mess around!" But his face sank and pretended to be angry: "You monkey, you are so uninteresting, the master and the emperor's predecessors and others have been waiting for you in the Sanxing Cave for a long time, but you are here to show off your magical powers, tease us, be careful that the master is angry, and he will drive you down the mountain again!" Yinfan smiled again: "Senior brother, you have learned from the master!" Zhiming said: " Yinfan, you are so nonsense, but it is not the human nature of cultivators like us, you have to change it!"
Yin Fan said again: "Senior brother is wrong, my nature is like this, but I can't, besides, the master wants me to only follow my own heart and nature, this is my nature, how can I change it?" Wukong watched the two senior brothers arguing from the side, and scratched his ears with a smile. In the past, when I practiced in this Lingtai Fangcun Mountain, I often saw these two senior brothers arguing with each other over some trivial matters, but this Yinfan's personality is extremely hearty, and he is also closer to Wukong, and now when he sees these two again, Wukong also feels extremely cordial.
Yin Fan and Zhiming argued with each other again, and Yin Fan obviously lost, but he couldn't argue, so he had to wave his hand and smile: "Okay, senior brother, I won't tell you, my achievements are complete today, I can also rest and rest, you continue." Jiming just shook his head, didn't say much, and left. Yin Fan didn't pay attention to it, and came to Wukong's side, and said with a smile: "Don't pay attention to him, Senior Brother Wukong, Senior Brother I'm fine, why don't you and I go for a walk?" Wukong hurriedly said: "No, no, Senior Brother is kind, Wukong has a heart, I still need to go to see Master." "Wukong has been delayed here for a long time, and of course he can't afford to slack off any longer.
"Oh, that's fine, you and I will talk about the wine in our spare time. Yin Fan said, he was about to drive away in the clouds, but he suddenly saw Wukong carrying a burden on his shoulders, so he asked: "Wukong, what good treasure did you bring back from this trip, how about taking it out for the senior brother?" Wukong said: "It's not a treasure, it's just a few scriptures that I got by accident, it's useless, if the senior brother wants it, then just take it." Yin Fan said: "This scripture is also a chicken thing to me, and I may not be able to understand it when I read it, so forget it, I'll go." Then he turned and drifted away.
Wukong couldn't help but shake his head and said with a smile: "I haven't seen you for five hundred years, and my senior brother still has a temperament here." Then he turned around, jumped up, and went to the three stars of the slanting moon. Su Yu entered the cave, hurriedly put down the Sutra and bowed down to the left of Su Bodhi Patriarch, and said, "Master!" Su Bodhi Patriarch asked: "Wukong, why did you take the Three Tibetan Sutras of this Buddhism?" Wukong smiled and said: "The disciple has no relationship with Buddhism, and it is useless to take it, just to vent his anger." Patriarch Su Bodhi shook his head and said, "Your fate is undecided, but you must not talk nonsense and say anything about the Dharma." ”
Wukong didn't dare to speak, but just found a futon and sat down. Su Bodhi thought in his heart: "Wukong, is a Lingming stone monkey, the heart is psychic, and Buddhism is also fateful, and now he has won this number of Tibetan scriptures, and there is still a trace of connection with the West, but this is also strange, just look at what his life is like." Then he called some of the boys in, and put all the scriptures into the temple. Patriarch Su Bodhi raised his hand and pointed at Wukong, and a ray of light from the border inspection shot like lightning to the center of Wukong's eyebrows and disappeared. Wukong suddenly felt that the spirit trembled, and then recovered again, as if nothing had happened.
Patriarch Subodhi's eyes closed slightly. There was a smile on his face, and so did the Immortal Emperor, who felt a little unfathomable, but he just sat silently and didn't speak, Wukong, Lingxue, Yun Yao and the three of them waited under the seat for a long time, but they didn't see the two of them speak, they couldn't help but wonder in their hearts, but Wukong was not very different, although they were suspicious in their hearts, but their master would not do harm, so they were relieved a lot, several people were silent, so they sat silently for a day, and the next morning, everything was over, and the Immortal Emperor resigned from Su Bodhi Patriarch, and took Yun Yao Fairy back to the Tiangong Shenxiao Jade Mansion together, only Lingxue stayed, and this was not pressed.
But said that Tang Sanzang and a few people got the help of the spirit turtle under the Guanyin seat, crossed the Tongtian River, and arrived on the east bank, there were already two old men of Chenjiazhuang to greet them, they invited them to the village to fast and entertain, in order to repay the kindness of the past rescue, Tang Sanzang is also unable to, he will make a complete merit, enter the Western Buddha land to achieve positive results, then to break the red dust concern, kindness is also a kind of concern. After a few people delayed for a day, they added clouds and went to the Tang Dynasty and Chang'an City.
After a few days, he arrived in Chang'an City, Tang Sanzang looked down, but saw that the big Chang'an City was a little deserted, but there were no pedestrians on the street, and there was no sound of selling and selling, as if it was a deserted city, Tang Sanzang was puzzled, so he asked the six-eared macaque: "Wukong, is this road forked, there is no one here?" The six-eared macaque said: "Master, don't worry, I'll see the clue when I look ahead!"
After walking for a few miles, you can hear a burst of people's voices, Tang Sanzang and others fall far away from the clouds, but here is the monastery of Tang Sanzang's monk, Jinshan Temple. But seeing the pine tree in front of the mountain gate, for some reason, the head of the tree looked east, Tang Sanzang understood it when he saw it, and said secretly: "It turns out that what I said when I left the temple has been fulfilled today." Then he clasped his hands together and the apprentices came closer, and a kind of monk from Jinshan Temple couldn't help but be overjoyed when he saw Tang Sanzang, and they all said: "Sure enough, Master Xuanzang came back today, and it was like this!
But someone had already gotten the news to the Tang King Li Shimin to know, Li Shimin was overjoyed, anxious to prepare the civil official holy driving ceremony, to Jinshan Temple to see Tang Sanzang, endless joy to meet, endless brotherhood, a long time, Li Shimin invited Tang Sanzang, six-eared macaque and others into the palace, handed over the scriptures, and drank and talked about the joy for three days, the time was auspicious, Li Shimin invited Tang Sanzang to the stage to preach the scriptures for 49 days, Tang Sanzang did not dare to disobey, and took the will to the altar to preach.
How do you know that as soon as you go to the high platform, when you are about to look at the scriptures and read, thousands of visions suddenly appear in the sky, eight heavenly dragons circling around, the heavenly maiden scatters flowers, auspicious light and ten thousand ways, and you can hear the voice of a gangster in the sky: "You are waiting for the merit to be complete, and when will you wait if you don't return to your place!" The people in Chang'an City all bowed to the ground, and they were extremely pious!
