Chapter 208: "Wuchao Zen Master of Futu Mountain"
Zhu Bajie glared at Sun Wukong, let go of his hand, and came over to sit down and eat. The banquet was set up, Gao Taigong invited Tang Seng to sit in the chief, and Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie sat on the left and right. Other relatives and friends sat down to accompany the Prime Minister.
Gao Taigong opened a jar of vegetarian wine, poured a full cup, sacrificed heaven and earth, and brought a cup to Tang Seng.
Tang Seng hurriedly raised his palms: "Amitabha! The poor monk has been a vegetarian since he came out of his mother's womb, and he doesn't dare to touch meat." ”
"This is vegetarian wine, have a drink, it's okay!" Gao Taigong persuaded.
"I don't dare to drink vegetarian wine, wine is the first precept of my monk's family. ”
Zhu Bajie saw the wine, the saliva had already come out, and when he heard Tang Seng say that he didn't drink, he hurriedly said: "Master, although I fast, I haven't quit drinking." ”
Sun Wukong also continued: "Lao Sun doesn't drink much, but he can also drink immortal wine on the altar, and he has never broken off!"
"Then you junior brothers drink less, don't get drunk and make mistakes!" Tang Seng said with a wry smile.
Sun Wukong and the two were overjoyed, and for a while, they were staggered, and the cups and plates were messy.
Zhu Bajie's eating appearance shocked Tang Seng in a daze, no wonder Gao Taigong said that he was afraid that he would eat up the family business! No matter what kind of food it was, he grabbed it and threw it into his mouth and it was gone, and he didn't see him chew it, and he had to throw a few steamed buns into it at once, and the rice was a bowl as soon as he was poured, and he didn't need chopsticks to eat vegetables at all.
Gao Taigong knew that Zhu Bajie had a large amount of food, and this meal was sufficient, and Zhu Bajie was also full. After eating the fast, Mrs. Gao asked someone to take out a plate of loose silver and give it to the three of them for spending on the road, and three cotton shirts were given to the three of them as a change.
Tang Seng excused himself and said: "The old benefactor is a great virtue, and the poor monks dare not accept it! We are monks who walk on our feet, and we dare to accept gold and silver money when we meet the village and ask for food in the village?"
Sun Wukong stepped forward and grabbed a handful of silver, handed it to Gao Cai and said: "Gao Cai, yesterday I troubled you to take us into the village, so that my master accepted another apprentice, and I didn't have anything to thank you, so I borrowed this broken silver and borrowed flowers to thank you." There will be monsters in the future, tell my grandson, thank you again!"
Gao Cai thanked the reward, took the silver, and said in his heart: There are monsters again, my lord, don't harm me, even if the monsters don't hurt me and don't hurt me, I have nowhere to find you Grandpa Lei!
Seeing that he didn't want gold and silver, Mrs. Gao said: "Masters don't want gold and silver, please smile at these coarse cloth clothes and talk about your heart." ”
Tang Seng still doesn't: "We monks, if we accept a bribe from the donor, the sin is heavy, and it will be difficult to repair." Since the old benefactor was so gracious, he wrapped the leftover cakes and fruits on the banquet to make dry food for the poor monks. ”
Zhu Bajie has been watching from the side, seeing that the master doesn't want this, he dares not to do that, Sun Wukong also gave the gold and silver to the Gao Cai who went to invite someone to catch him, and felt very uncomfortable: Why are you like this?
Zhu Bajie couldn't help it: "Master, senior brother, you don't want it, the old pig wants it!" I have been a son-in-law for his family for several years, and even the hanging grain should be three stones." Father-in-law, my straight jacket was torn by my senior brother last night, give me a green brocade robe, and my shoes are also broken, give me a good new pair of shoes!"
Mrs. Gao didn't dare not give it, so he asked someone to find a new pair of shoes and a cotton shirt and give them to Zhu Bajie together.
Zhu Bajie picked up his clothes and shoes, went to the room to change out of his old clothes and shoes, staggered out, shook his head at Gao Taigong to the end, and said seriously: "Please tell your mother-in-law, aunt, aunt, second aunt, aunt and uncle and other relatives and friends: I am going to be a monk today, and I have no time to resign in person, please do not blame!
Zhu Bajie smiled and said: "Master, it's okay! This mountain is called Futu Mountain, there have never been monsters in the mountain, but there is a Wuchao Zen master, and the old pig used to see him often!"
Tang Seng asked, "Wuchao Zen Master, what kind of person is that?"
"He's a practicing Buddhist, and he has some Taoism. He advised me to go with him to practice, but I didn't. ”
Tang Seng relieved himself, beat his horse and crossed the mountain, and came to the mountain after a short time. There is a tall cypress tree in the middle of the mountainside, the branches are luxuriant, straight into the clouds, between the branches on the trunk, there is a black bird's nest made of sandalwood, and there is a monk wearing a colorful brocade robe sitting in front of the doorway.
Zhu Bajie pointed with his hand: "That is Wuchao Zen Master!"
The three of them came to the bottom of the tree, and Zen Master Wuchao jumped off the tree. Tang Seng stepped forward to bow down, and Wuchao Zen Master hurriedly helped him up and called a Buddha name: "Amitabha! Holy monk, please get up! The poor monk has lost his greeting!"
Sun Wukong watched coldly, standing still.
Zhu Bajie walked up and made a gesture, and said, "Old Zen master, it's polite!"
Zen Master Wuchao said in surprise: "You are a Fuling mountain boar Gangguana, how can you have such a great fortune and be able to walk with the holy monk?"
Zhu Bajie said: "A few years ago, I was persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be kind and followed him as an apprentice. ”
"Good, good, good!" Wuchao Zen Master pointed to Sun Wukong and asked, "Who is this?"
Sun Wukong snorted: "How do you recognize him, but you don't recognize me?"
