Chapter 287: "Monkey Hair"
When Sun Wukong heard this, he raised his eyebrows and said angrily: "Don't let go?"
"It's not that you can't let it go, it's that you can't let it go!" the little Taoist priest hurriedly explained.
"Really?" asked Sun Wukong again.
"Don't let it go!"
Sun Wukong asked three times in a row, the anger surged, reached out to his ear and touched it, took out the golden hoop stick, shook it, the bowl was thick, and it was two sticks against the two young Taoist priests. Pity the two little Taoist priests who were kind enough to help, and they were beaten to the ground with their brains bursting and died.
"Oh no! Oh no! Kill the emperor!" The monks saw Sun Wukong kill someone from a distance, rushed over with a dustpan and shovel, and surrounded Sun Wukong.
Sun Wukong shouted: "I'm helping you, why did you come to besiege me? What else are you shouting? What killed the imperial family? That is the imperial family." ”
The monks said with horror on their faces: "Their master is the national teacher of the imperial court, who are you? Why did you come here to commit murder? What does the two of them have to do with you when they come out to supervise the work? What kind of enmity do you have with you? Why did you beat them to death? You killed them, and the court blamed them, how can we bear it? No! You can't run away! You have to go into the city with us, explain this matter, and make us clear up, so as not to trouble us!"
"Don't shout, everyone! I'm not a Taoist, I'm here to save you!" Sun Wutian wanted to get angry, but he couldn't help but save people.
The monks danced dustpans and shovels and shouted, "What saved us? You killed someone, did you harm us, and said you saved us?"
"I am the person who the Guardian Garan told you in his dream, the disciple of the Tang Dynasty Holy Monk Sun Wukong Monkey King, who came to save you!"
"No! No, we know him, sir!" the monks shook their heads in disbelief.
"You haven't seen him, so how do you know him?"
"Tai Bai Xing told us in a dream, telling us to remember the appearance of Master Sun, let us not recognize the wrong person!"
"What did he say?"
"He said that the great sage: the golden eyes are shining, the round head and the face are hairless. He has a good temperament and looks weirder than Lei Gong. Accustomed to using the golden hoop and iron rod, he once attacked the sky. Now he has taken refuge in protecting the monks and is dedicated to saving human disasters. ”
When Sun Wukong heard this, he was disgusted and happy: I thought, you are too platinum star, and you actually told Lao Sun's original body to this group of mortals! But why did you mention the matter of making a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace.
Sun Wukong scratched his head, scratched his cheeks, and said with a smile, "Haha, you think I'm not Sun Xingzhi, in fact, I am Sun Xingzhi's disciple, and I came here to learn to make trouble and play." Suddenly, Sun Wukong pointed his hand to the east and shouted, "Look! Isn't Sun Wukong coming over there?"
The monks turned their heads to look and found that no one was coming from the east, and then turned their heads to see a Lei Gong standing in front of them! It was Sun Wukong who showed his true appearance.
The monks suddenly realized, and quickly knelt down and kowtowed: "Grandpa, grandpa, we are mortal fetuses, I don't know if it is really Grandpa Sun who has manifested, please Grandpa Sun to avenge us!"
Sun Wukong laughed and said, "Get up, get up, follow me!"
Sun Wukong came to the bottom of the slope, pulled all the cars pulling bricks, tiles and mud up the slope, lifted them up one by one and smashed them, and threw them downhill.
The monks were dumbfounded, and Sun Wukong said loudly: "Let's go! Let's all go back! Tomorrow I will destroy those three old Taoists for you! Give you a free and innocent body!"
"Grandpa, we don't dare to go far, as soon as we go far, the official will arrest us back, and we will be punished!" The monk dared to go, and quickly explained.
"Well, don't be afraid, I'll give you a talisman. Sun Wukong plucked a handful of hair, put it in his mouth and chewed it to pieces, spit it in the palm of his hand, and called the monks to come over, each monk took a piece of hair, and ordered: "Twist the hair in your ring nails, hold your fist and don't let go, go with confidence! If someone comes to arrest you, you will clench your fists, call Monkey King, and I will come out to protect you." ”
The monk took a hair, looked at it, doubted it, and asked, "Grandpa, if you go too far and can't see you, so you can't hear, what can you do?"
Sun Wukong smiled: "Don't worry! Even if it's thousands of miles away, you'll be safe!"
Some thoughtful and courageous monks walked away, turned their backs to Sun Wukong, clenched their fists, and quietly shouted, "Monkey King!" Out of thin air, a Lei Gong suddenly appeared in front of him, holding an iron rod, mighty.
When the other monks saw it, they also shouted, and for a while, hundreds of Monkey Kings appeared on the sand.
"Grandpa! Sure enough, the spirit is revealed!" the monks were overjoyed, relaxed, and all knelt down and kowtowed.
Sun Wukong smiled and instructed: "When you want to collect it, call 'silence' and accept it." ”
The monks all shouted "silence" again, and sure enough, Lei Gong was gone, still a single hair in the crack of the fingernail.
The monks were ecstatic, and some of the bold monks shouted "go", and 500 people shouted in an uproar and fled in all directions.
"Don't run too far! Listen to the news in my city, when the king comes out to recruit monks and pay homage to the Buddha, you will come into the city and return my hair!" Sun Wukong shouted to the monks.
The five hundred monks responded with a good word, and those whose homes were in the east went to the east, and those whose homes were in the west went to the west, and the five hundred monks scattered in a blink of an eye.
Jin Chanzi waited by the side of the road for a long time, but he didn't see Sun Wukong come back to reply, so he asked Zhu Bajie to open the way in front and walk under the city gate. Along the way, I saw many monks of all ages walking quickly, although everyone had vegetables on their faces and their clothes were ragged, but they all had happy expressions on their faces, and they didn't know what good things they had encountered.
Jin Chanzi was about to find someone to ask for directions, when he suddenly saw Sun Wukong from a distance, standing in front of a wasteland with more than a dozen monks.
The golden cicada whipped the horse, quickened his pace, came to the front and asked, "Wukong, why did you come to inquire about it, and you haven't come back for so long?"
Sun Wukong led the monks who didn't run over to greet the golden cicada, and arrested the king here when he saw the monk, and sent it to the Taoist priest to do coolie work.
Jin Chanzi listened to Sun Wukong's introduction, and was shocked, thinking that he had lost all his mana and was now on the territory of the battle between Buddhism and Taoism, and hurriedly asked: "Ah, what is going on, what should we do if you want to arrest us?"
The monks said: "Don't worry, my lord, the great sage grandfather is a god who came into the world, and he has great magical powers, and he will definitely protect the master." The reason why we didn't run out of the city was because we were all monks who built Zhiyuan Temple in the city. Because Zhiyuan Temple was built by the former king Taizu, there is the statue of the first king Taizu in it, so it has not been demolished. The other monasteries in the city, big or small, were all demolished. Now it's not early, please go into the city and live in our small temple in the barren mountain first, and wait for tomorrow morning, the great sage will have to deal with it. ”
"You are right. Sun Wukong nodded to the monks, and said to Jin Chanzi: "Master, let's go into the city as soon as possible!"
At this time, the sun was setting, and it was already dusk. The golden cicada got off the horse, and the monks of Zhiyuan Temple came to lead the horse, the burden of the burden, the guide of the way, and the introduction of the golden cicada and his party into the city.
After crossing the suspension bridge, walking through several city gates, came to a temple in front of a large plaque with golden characters hanging high on the mountain gate, and there were several big golden characters on the plaque: Zhiyuan Temple.
Walking into the mountain gate and coming to the temple, the monks pushed open the temple gate, passed through the King Kong Hall, opened the main hall door, and invited the four masters and apprentices to enter.
The golden cicada took out the robe and put it on, worshiped the golden Buddha statue on the hall, and then stepped into the hall.
"Caretaker!" a monk called out to the monks who stayed in the temple.
When the words fell, an old monk came out of it, who was the abbot of the temple, and when he saw Sun Wukong, he bowed his head and bowed: "Grandpa, are you here?"
Sun Wukong asked strangely: "Which grandfather do you recognize me?" ”
The old monk explained: "I recognize you as Monkey King's grandfather, we have seen you in our dreams every night. Tai Bai Xing said that as long as you come, we can save our lives. Today, I saw my grandfather's honorable face, and it was exactly the same as in my dream. Grandpa, I'm glad you're here today! If we're a day or two late, we'll all be ghosts!"
"Please get up, please get up, don't worry, tomorrow will be the case!" Sun Wukong smiled and helped the old monk up.
The monks worshipped the Tang monks and apprentices, arranged a fasting meal, invited them to eat the master and apprentice, cleaned the abbot, brought the bedding, and invited them to rest.
When he slept until the second watch, Sun Wukong had something in his heart, and he couldn't wake up from sleep, and suddenly heard a sound of blowing and blowing, as if the Taoist priests were doing things.
Sun Wukong quietly got up, put on his clothes, jumped in the air to watch, and saw the brilliant lights and candles in the south direction, and the sound of blowing came from there.
Sun Wukong lowered his head and looked carefully, it turned out to be a magnificent Taoist temple, there is a big gold plaque on the door, and there are three big golden characters on the plaque: Sanqingguan.
Didn't the two young Taoist priests say that they lived in the Sanqingguan?
Sun Wukong rolled his eyes and looked into the main hall through the doors and windows.
There are countless big red candles lit in the hall of Sanqingguan, the lights in the hall are brightly lit, the sandalwood incense is swirling in the incense burner, the offering is offered fresh offerings, the head of the hall hangs a couplet of yellow silk brocade, embroidered with 22 big characters, the couplet is written: "The rain is in tune with the wind, may I wish the heavens to be immeasurable; ”
Since this is the Sanqing Temple, then Tianzun refers to the Sanqing. Looking at the meaning of this couplet, these Taoist priests are dedicated to the Sanqing and assist the king.
In the main hall, the Taoist priests are blowing, blowing, singing, dancing, walking, stopping, dancing, and turning in circles.
In the middle are three old Taoist priests, all dressed in Dharma robes, dancing there with their hands and reciting words in their mouths. There are seven or eight hundred Taoist priests scattered below, and it seems that they are all disciples and grandchildren.
Sun Wukong thought to himself: These three must be the three great immortals of Tiger Power, Deer Power, and Sheep Power, and there are seven or eight hundred scattered people.
Sun Wukong wanted to go down and do it, but he was afraid that he would be weak and lonely. After thinking about it, he turned his head around and returned to the abbot. Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha were lying on the meditation bed foot to foot, snoring, and sleeping soundly.
