Chapter 282: "Blackwater River"

Guanyin recited the golden hoop mantra several times, and the red boy almost fainted to death in pain, so he stopped.

The red boy suddenly stopped hurting again, looked down and saw that there were golden hoops on his neck and hands and feet, and he was in pain, and knew that there was something wrong with the golden hoops, so he hurriedly took it with all his strength.

This golden hoop is a treasure refined by the Buddha, and when you see the flesh taking root, where can you get it?

Sun Wukong gloated at it, and said with a smile: "Good girl, the Bodhisattva is afraid that you won't be able to raise it, so he will put a neck bracelet on you." ”

The red boy was angry in his heart, and he was anxious, so he picked up the fire-tipped spear and stabbed Sun Wukong in the chest. Sun Wukong laughed, jumped behind Guanyin Bodhisattva, and shouted: "Bodhisattva! chanting mantras!"

Guanyin pinched the willow branch, dipped it in a little nectar, sprinkled it on the red child, and shouted, "He!"

The red boy's hands suddenly became uncontrollable, and he threw away the spear, put his palms together and placed them on his chest, as if he was worshipping Guanyin.

The red boy was horrified in his heart, and struggled violently, but he couldn't break free! He froze in place, and for a moment the waves rolled in his heart, and he secretly sighed that it was over. Guanyin Bodhisattva's mana is boundless, and he has been put on these golden hoops, and the matter has come to this, if he does not take refuge, he will not be good.

The red boy thought about it, but had no choice but to kneel down to Guanyin.

Guanyin turned the mouth of the jade bottle downward, recited the mantra, and the sea that had fallen before gathered again and put it into the bottle, as if there had not been a flood before.

After collecting the seawater, Guanyin said to Sun Wukong again: "Wukong, although this goblin has surrendered, but his wild nature has not changed, I want to do it, let him worship Luojia Mountain step by step, and then collect the Fa." Go to the cave and save your master. ”

Sun Wukong said: "There is Lao Bodhisattva coming from afar, and the disciple will give you a ride." ”

"Don't send it, it's important to save your master. ”

Guanyin drove the auspicious clouds to the South China Sea, and the red boy was covered by a golden hoop, and his body did not obey the call, and he followed Guanyin Bodhisattva step by step.

Sun Wukong pressed the cloud head, returned to the pine forest, and saw Monk Sha holding the demon scepter in one hand, holding the reins of a white horse in the other, and his luggage on the horse's back, looking in the direction of the South China Sea.

"Senior Brother Sha!" Sun Wukong shouted.

"Senior brother, why did you come back from the west? What about the Bodhisattva? Are you here? I'm in a hurry!"

"You're still dreaming! Lao Sun has already invited the Bodhisattva to come, and the goblin has also surrendered!" Sun Wukong smiled and said the matter of Guanyin Bodhisattva's subjugation of the red child.

Monk Sha was overjoyed: "Save Master!"

The two jumped over the dry pine stream, came to the fire cave, tied their horses, and each took his weapon and killed him into the fire cloud cave. The poor child goblin in the hole was killed by the two of them, and then untied the Ruyi cowhide bag and released Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie climbed out of the bag, brandished the nail palladium and shouted: "Where is the goblin? Where is the goblin? The old pig wants to dig up a few palladiums from him to vent his anger!"

Sun Wukong said: "Go find the master first!"

When the three of them found the back, Tang Seng was stripped naked and tied naked in the yard crying.

Monk Sha hurriedly ran over to untie the rope, Sun Wukong took the clothes and put them on for the master, and the three of them knelt in front of Tang Seng and said, "The master has suffered!"

"Apprentice, you have worked so hard for the teacher, how can you subdue the demons?" Tang Seng looked a little happy and a little sad.

Sun Wukong said again about asking Guanyin Bodhisattva to collect demons. After listening to this, Tang Seng knelt down to the south and bowed in the air to thank him.

Sun Wukong said: "I don't need to thank her, we also helped her take in a good boy! Now it's okay, she has a good wealth boy on the left, a good wealth dragon girl on the right, a man and a woman, a left and a right, they have become a pair, and they have a companion." ”

Sun Wukong asked Monk Sha to collect all the treasures in the cave, and went to find rice grain, make a fire to cook, and eat a good meal. After the meal, he walked out of the cave, the wind and sun were beautiful outside, Tang Seng climbed the saddle and got on the horse, found the main road, and went west.

This time, I walked for more than a month.

On this day, while walking, he suddenly heard the sound of water vibrating his ears, and Tang Seng was taken aback: "Apprentice, where is the sound of water?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "You old man, you are really suspicious, you can't be a monk! We are a group of four, but you heard the sound of water." Have you forgotten the Sutra of Many Hearts?"

"The Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra was taught by the Wuchao Zen Master of Futu Mountain, with a total of 54 sentences and 270 characters. I often chanted, which do you say I forgot?"

"Master, you have forgotten 'no eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind'. We are monks, our eyes do not see, our ears do not hear sounds, our nose does not smell incense, our tongue does not taste, our bodies do not know the cold and heat, we do not have delusions, and our six roots are pure. You don't get rid of the six roots now, looking forward and backward all the way, scared, how did you get to the West Heaven?"

This monkey always likes to put on the appearance of a high-ranking monk, saying that I can't go to the West Heaven, and you don't know how many times I have said it? Are you the master, or am I the master?

Tang Seng was a little unhappy in his heart, and it was not good to accuse Sun Wukong, otherwise, he would be said to have committed a crime of anger, so he was silent and galloped on horseback.

After walking a short distance, a big river blocked the way in front of me, the river was as black as ink, the black water was monstrous, and the sound of the waves was like thunder.

Tang Seng jumped off the horse, looked at the river, and asked puzzledly: "Apprentice, come and see, why is this water so black?"

Zhu Bajie said: "Which family splashed the indigo dye vat?"

Monk Sha smiled: "No, whose house is washing the pen and inkstone!"

Sun Wukong said: "Don't joke, think of a way to protect the master's past." ”

Zhu Bajie said: "This river, it is not difficult for the old pig to pass, or drive the clouds, or go down to the river to swim, and in a while, I will pass." ”

Monk Sha said: "My old Sha has been in the quicksand river for a long time, and the water is proficient, and it is not difficult to cross this river." ”

"I know you have the ability!" Sun Wukong scolded: "Who asked yourself? Quickly think of a way to let Master cross the river!"

Seeing them arguing, Tang Seng interrupted: "Apprentice, how wide is this river?"

Zhu Bajie said: "It's about ten miles wide." ”

"The three of you will discuss it and see which one carries me. ”

"Eight precepts to memorize. Sun Wukong said.

"It's not easy to carry!" Zhu Bajie hurriedly said: "If you carry Master Tengyun on your back, you are less than three feet above the ground, and the so-called carrying mortals is as heavy as Mount Tai." If I had swam on my back, I would have sunk into the water with me. ”

As he spoke, someone rowed a small boat down the upper reaches of the river.

Tang Seng was overjoyed and said: "Apprentices, don't fight, a boat is coming! ”

Monk Sha opened his voice and shouted: "Whoever drives the boat, come to ferry people! Come to ferry people!"

The person on the boat replied: "I'm not a ferry, why do you call me a ferryman?"

Monk Sha shouted: "Heaven and earth, convenience first." You're not a ferry, and we don't bother you very often. We are from the Tang Dynasty in the east, to the west to worship the Buddha to learn the scriptures of the monks, you are convenient and convenient, cross us over, one to thank you, two is also a great fruit. ”

When the people on the boat heard this, they rowed the boat close to the shore and held the oars, their faces were a little embarrassed: "Master, it is convenient for you to be with others, and it is convenient for yourself, I originally said the same. It's just that you see, my boat is small, and there are a lot of you, so it's not easy to cross!"

Tang Seng took a closer look, it turned out that the boat was made of a whole section of wood hollowed out in the middle, with only one hatch, which could seat two people at most, and it was really not a boat used to ferry people. Tang Seng turned around and said, "It's small, what should I do?"

"Let's cross in two batches. Monk Sha thought of an idea.

"That's it, Senior Brother Sha, you and Brother Monkey are watching the luggage and horses on the shore, I'll keep Master going over first, and then come back to cross the horse, you and Brother Monkey will fly over." Zhu Bajie put down his luggage.

Tang Seng thought that this was indeed a way, so he asked Zhu Bajie to come over and help him, climb onto the boat, and sit in the cabin.

Seeing that the two of them were seated, he propped the boat up to the shore, shook the oars with both hands, and the boat went to the center of the river. As soon as they arrived in the center of the river, suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the black waves were monstrous, and the sound of the waves was like thunder, and then a big wave rushed in, and with a bang, the wooden boat overturned, and the people and the boat sank to the bottom of the river.

Sun Wukong and Monk Sha saw a sudden storm on the shore, and they were about to save people, but the boat had already been beaten by the waves without a trace, and they didn't know where it had rushed.

Monk Sha was so anxious that he shouted: "Oh no! Oh no! The boat has capsized! Let's go downstream to find Master!"

"It's not capsizing!" Sun Wukong stopped him: "If the boat capsizes, Bajie will swim, and he will definitely surface with his master on his back." I saw that there was something wrong with that Gong just now, but now it seems that it must be a monster, and it was he who dragged the master into the water!"

"Why didn't you say it earlier! You look at the horses and luggage, and I'll go into the water and look for it. "Monk Sha was anxious.

"This water is not right, and there are some evil doors, I'm afraid you can't go. ”

"It's okay! I can't float the goose feathers of the quicksand river, this water is a little worse than the quicksand river, go, go!"

As he spoke, Monk Sha took off his shirt, threw it on the ground, picked up the demon scepter, and separated the waterway with a bang, got into the dark water waves, and strode in.

Monk Sha landed at the bottom of the river, walked not far, heard someone speak, hurriedly hid to the side, and secretly looked at the source of the sound: there is a pavilion there, and there are eight big characters written on the horizontal plaque outside the platform door: "Hengyangyu Heishui River Divine Mansion".

I heard a voice from inside: "Little ones, quickly carry out the iron cage, steam these two monks whole, and wait for me to write an invitation to invite the second uncle to come and give him Tang monk meat to celebrate his birthday." ”

When Monk Sha heard this, he couldn't hold back the fire in his heart, raised his staff, beat the door for a while, and scolded: "Monster! Send me Master Tang Seng and Senior Brother Bajie out!"

The little demon hurriedly went in and reported: "Oh no, no! A monk with an obscure face came outside, scolding at the front door, asking for someone!"

The monster told the little demons to take out their cloaks, put them on, and walked out of the door with a bamboo steel whip in their hands, shouting, "Who dares to come and knock on my door?"
