Chapter 354: On the Way of the Buddha
When the princess of all saints saw that there was a horse, it was a smiling Monkey King! Angry and anxious, she rushed up to snatch the box.
Later, Zhu Bajie ran up and put a palladium on her back, and like her brother, there was blood in nine holes and died on the ground.
There was also an old dragon woman who saw her husband, son, daughter, and grandson all dead in the back, panicked, and desperately wanted to sneak away.
was also seen by Zhu Bajie, rushed up and grabbed it, and lifted the nail palladium to kill.
Sun Wukong stopped him and said, "Slow down, don't kill her, stay alive, so that you can go back to work!"
Zhu Bajie said well, brought Long Po out, and came out with Sun Wukong.
The two went ashore and said to Yang Jian: "Thank you brother for your help, now I have a baby and I have swept away the demon thief." ”
Yang Jian said: "One is that the king is blessed with Qitian, and the other is Xiankun Yu's supernatural powers, what credit do I have!"
Meishan Six Sages said: "Second Brother Sun has succeeded, let's say goodbye!"
Sun Wukong wanted to invite Yang Jian's seven people to see the king, but everyone refused, so they thanked him and said goodbye, and Yang Jian and the six went back to the mouth of the river.
Sun Wukong was holding two boxes, Zhu Bajie was dragging Long Po, and the two of them returned to the city in an instant.
As soon as I entered the city, I saw the monks of Jinguang Temple who had been freed from the locks, all waiting there to greet them.
When the monks saw the two of them coming down from mid-air, they all came to kowtow and pray. And they all went into the court together.
The king and Tang Seng were talking in the hall, and when they heard that Sun Wukong and others had caught the thief and retrieved the treasure, they walked out of the hall to greet them.
After everyone saw each other, the king thanked him and arranged a banquet to thank them.
Tang Seng asked Sun Wukong: "You left yesterday, why did you come back today?"
Sun Wukong fought the nine-headed bird, killed the old dragon king and the dragon son, and later met the two gods Yang Jian, and then ran away with the attached horse, killed the dragon grandson and the princess, and deceived the baby, and talked about it in detail. The king and the civil and military officials were pleasantly surprised.
The king pointed to the dragon woman again and said, "Does this dragon woman know how to speak?"
Zhu Bajie said: "Long Po is the wife of the Dragon King, how can she not be able to speak?"
The king smiled and said coldly to the dragon woman, "Since you know how to speak, quickly tell me about being a thief!"
Long Po was still a good family two days ago, who knew that the sudden change was born, and the family was ruined by Sun Wukong, and she was the only one who survived in the entire Bibotan, and she was also the enemy whose fate hung in the balance.
Long Po was sad in her heart, and when the king asked, she didn't dare not answer, and said with tears: "I don't know anything about stealing the Buddha's treasure, it's all my husband and my horse, and I know that the glowing treasure on the tower is a Buddhist relic, so it rained blood three years ago and took the opportunity to take it." ”
"How did you steal the Ganoderma lucidum grass?" asked Sun Wukong.
Long Po said: "My horse's biological mother is a nine-headed phoenix, and she once pulled a cart for the queen mother in Kunlun Immortal Mountain, so she knows the fairy energy of the queen mother's nine-leaf lingzhi grass, and can best warm the Buddha treasure relics."
"If this Buddha treasure relic is not nourished by the fairy qi of the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass, and has been subjected to the vulgar turbidity of the mortal world for a long time on the tower, I am afraid that it will lose its brilliance. You have to have this fairy grass fairy qi to keep it alive for thousands of years. Sweep the fields on the ground, there are thousands of rays of light, thousands of rui qi, can turn everything into immortal treasures.
"Therefore, my little daughter, the Princess of All Saints, went to the Daluo Tianlingxiao Hall and brought the Queen Mother's nine-leaf Lingzhi grass to nourish the Buddha treasure relics.
"Originally, it was also a preservation of the Buddha treasure, which is considered a merit, but who knew that it was robbed by you, which made my husband die and my daughter die. Please spare my life!"
Zhu Bajie shouted: "Obviously, your family stole the Buddha treasure, but we came to rob you and wanted to spare you?"
Long Po was mentioned all the way by Zhu Bajie, and she was already frightened, and she didn't dare to speak out when she heard him scold.
Sun Wukong has always been in a hurry to kill, and he didn't want to spare Long Po, but suddenly thought of something, and became rare and lenient, and said: "Since you don't know, it's not difficult to spare you, but I want you to watch the tower for me in the temple forever!"
Long Po's eyes lit up, and she hurriedly said: "It's better to die than to live." If you spare my life, do whatever you tell me to do!"
"Well, you guard the tower for me, and I will spare you. ”
Sun Wukong asked someone to bring an iron chain and a sharp knife.
The guards took the things over, and Sun Wukong pierced the old dragon woman's pipa bone several times, and locked it with an iron cable.
He handed the iron rope to Monk Sha, turned to the king and said, "Please come and see our Anta." ”
The king immediately lined up, walked out of the palace hand in hand with Tang Seng, led the civil and military officials, and came to the Jinguang Temple together, and walked up to the thirteen-story pagoda.
Sun Wukong and Monk Sha walked ahead, put the Buddha treasure relics in the vase at the top of the thirteenth layer of the tower, and locked the old dragon woman on the pillar in the heart of the tower.
Sun Wukong recited the mantra, summoned the land, the city god and the temple Garan, and ordered to send food and drink every three days, to live for the old dragon woman, if the old dragon woman is a little worse, immediately behead her.
The gods received their orders in secret. Poor old dragon woman was locked in the pipa bone, locked in the tower forever, and only had one meal to eat in three days, but she was afraid that she would starve to death slowly.
After Sun Wukong finished his order, he picked up the nine-leaf Lingzhi fairy grass in the white jade box and swept the blood-stained thirteen-story pagoda layer by layer.
Where the Ganoderma lucidum grass passes, the old appearance is renewed, the whole pagoda re-emits the glow of ten thousand ways, and the rui qi is thousands, still like before, all directions see it, and the four countries look at it together.
After sweeping the tower, Sun Wukong also placed the nine-leaf Ganoderma lucidum grass in the treasure bottle to warm the relics.
The king and the civil and military officials watched from the sidelines, and were overjoyed.
After the completion of the pagoda, everyone went down to the tower gate, and the king thanked the Tang monk and apprentice: "The grace of the old Buddha and the three Bodhisattvas, the mountains are high and the sea is deep, and it is really impossible to repay!"
Sun Wukong said: "Your Majesty, monks act only for good, not for fame and fortune, please don't mention it again if you repay it." It's just that the name of this temple, the word golden light is not good: gold is a flowing thing, light is a scorching breath, and it is not a long-term thing. The poor monk has worked hard for you, so he will change the name of the temple for you and change it to Fulong Temple, so that your temple will always exist. ”
The king was overjoyed, and immediately changed the name of the decree, hung a new plaque, and wrote "Ejian Protector Fulong Temple".
Back in the palace, the king sent a decree to arrange a royal banquet, and sent a decree to summon the holy hand of Danqing, and drew a figure of four Tang monks and a horse, which was offered in the Wufeng Tower.
After the royal banquet, Tang Seng resigned, and the king thanked him with gold, silver, pearls and jade.
Where will Tang Seng receive, the king has to give up, so that according to the figure of the four Tang monks and the style of clothes they wear, one person made two sets of clothes, shoes and socks also made two pairs each, and the silk ring also made two each, and prepared to fry dry food.
Tang Seng accepted and asked Zhu Bajie to put it in his luggage.
The king reversed the customs clearance documents, drove a large row of Luan, led the civil and military officials, the people of the city, and the monks of Fulong Temple, and sent the four Tang monks and apprentices out of the city.
After being sent out of the city for more than 20 miles, the king returned to the palace in the echo of Tang Seng's invitation.
The civil and military officials sent another twenty miles before saying goodbye and going back.
The monks in Fulong Temple sent out fifty or sixty miles, but they still didn't want to go back, some wanted to go to the west together, and some wanted to accompany them to practice and serve.
Seeing that the monks refused to go back, Sun Wukong used a trick to pluck thirty or forty hairs, blew a breath, and shouted "Change!" Turned into thirty or forty colorful tigers, blocking the road ahead, opening their teeth and claws, roaring like thunder.
The monks were frightened and didn't dare to go any further. Sun Wukong led the horse and led the master to ride the horse.
The monks watched Tang monks and apprentices gradually go away, and they cried loudly, shouting and sighing: "Kind and righteous master!
Sun Wukong walked far away, shook his body, collected his hair, and walked on the road to the west.
Winter goes to spring, and before I know it, it's early spring again, and it's neither hot nor cold, but it's just the right way.
As he was walking, he suddenly saw a long mountain in front of him, and the road under his feet passed into the mountain and disappeared.
Tang Seng reined in his horse and watched on the horse: the mountain ridge was full of thorns, and the vines were entangled, although it looked like there were traces of the road, but there were thorns and thorns on the left and right, and it was impossible to pass at all, but I was afraid that there were no traces for hundreds of thousands of years.
Tang Seng pointed with a whip and shouted, "Apprentice, how can you walk this way?"
"Why can't you go?" asked Sun Wukong.
Tang Seng pointed to the thorns: "Apprentice, it looks like there is a road, but there are thorns on it, unless it is a snake and an insect, crawling on the ground, you can get by." If a man walks, and his loins are hard to stretch out under thorns, how can I ride a horse?"
Zhu Bajie said: "It doesn't matter, wait for me to use palladium firewood, separate the thorns with nail palladium, not to mention riding a horse, even if I carry a sedan chair, I will also carry you over." ”
Tang Seng said: "Although you have strength, you are also afraid of long-term difficulties, I don't know how far this mountain thorns are, where there are so many spirits!"
Sun Wukong said: "I'll take a look!"
With a vertical body, I jumped in the air and looked:
As far as the eye can see, the green expanse is full of thorns and deep grass, and there is no road in sight. Although there are trees on the ridge, they are all wrapped with vines, and although there are flowers, they are all among the thorns, and only bees and butterflies can enter them.
Sun Wukong looked at it for a long time, and pressed the cloud head: "Master, it's so far!"
"How far?"
"As far as the eye can see, it seems to be thousands of miles away. ”
Tang Seng was shocked: "What is good?"
Monk Sha said with a smile: "Master don't worry, we also learn to burn the wasteland, put a fire, and burn all the thorns." ”
Zhu Bajie said: "Don't talk nonsense! The burning of the famine must be in ten months, and the grass will decay and the trees will wither, so as to cause a fire." Now is the spring season, the grass and trees are verdant and lush, how can it be burned!"
Sun Wukong also said: "Even if it is burned, I am afraid of hurting the ****." ”
Tang Seng was worried: "How can I get over then?"
Zhu Bajie smiled: "If you want to pass, you have to rely on me." ”
As he spoke, he came to the thorny road, pinched a trick, recited a mantra, bowed his waist, and shouted, "Long!" and he grew twenty feet tall.
Shake the palladium nail and shout "Change!" and it becomes a palladium handle with a length of 30 zhang.
Dragged away, holding the palladium with both hands, swinging left and right, thorns and grass blades flew like snow, and sure enough, a wide road was divided.
Zhu Bajie lowered his head and shouted as he opened the road: "Master, please follow me!"
