Chapter 441: "Parting"
The Bajie stood beside him in a huff, not daring to speak.
Seeing that his master and apprentice were angry, the staff had no choice but to smile with a smile on their faces: "Elder Mo Jiao, let go of tolerance today, and tomorrow I will do some work, and invite a few neighbors and relatives to send you off together." ”
As they were talking, the old woman came out again and said, "Elder, since you have arrived at the house, you don't need to be in such a hurry. How many days is it?"
The golden cicada clasped his palms together and sighed: "Half a moon has been." ”
The old woman nodded and said, "This half month is counted as my merit, and the old body also has some needlework money, and I am willing to be in Zhai for half a month." ”
After saying a few words, the Kou Dong brothers came out again and said: "The four masters, the father of the family has been a monk for more than 20 years, and he has never met any good people. The students are young and do not know the reincarnation of cause and effect. However, it is often heard that the public can repair the public, and the mother-in-law can repair the mother-in-law, but if you don't cultivate, you can't do it. My father and mother each want to offer celery, it is precisely for each of them to get some cause and effect, why bother to quit? Even if you are a foolish brother, you can save some money for repairs, and you only hope to support your lord for half a month before sending him off. ”
The golden cicada saw that the family outside the staff was so hospitable, why didn't he want to stay with him for a few days, but seeing that this spiritual mountain was about to arrive, where could this golden cicada be delayed. Then he said: "The old Bodhisattva of Lingtang is gracious, and the poor monk no longer dares to receive it, how can he inherit the love of Kunyu and Kunyu? Today you must get up, and do not see sin, otherwise, you will not be punished for a long time. ”
The old woman and the second son saw that Jin Chanzi insisted on leaving, and they became angry for a while: "Our family is kind enough to keep you, why are you so stubborn to leave, just leave if you want to go!"
The mother and son turned around and walked out.
Bajie couldn't help but speak, and said to Jin Chanzi: "Master, don't be too restrained. As the saying goes, stay there, end up weird. Let's stay for a month, and fulfill the wishes of their mother and son, so what's the matter?"
When Jin Chanzi heard this, he shouted again, and the Bajie hurriedly slapped his mouth twice and said: "Knock! Knock!" and said: "Let me not say much!
Wukong and the sand monk laughed at Bajie on the side.
Jin Chanzi saw Wukong watching the play on the side, and blamed Wukong again: "Wukong, what are you laughing at?"
Jin Chanzi raised his hand and twisted the trick to recite the mantra of the hoop, and Wukong hurriedly knelt down and said, "Master, I have never laughed, I have never laughed!
Seeing that his masters and apprentices were getting troubled, they didn't dare to stay together, so they only shouted: "Elder don't be angry, I'll send you away tomorrow morning." ”
The staff went out of the scripture hall alone, instructed the secretary office, wrote a hundred and ten brief posts, invited neighbors and relatives, and sent the elders of the Tang Dynasty to the west tomorrow morning.
On the one hand, he also asked his subordinates to arrange a feast for the canton, and on the other hand, he asked the manager to make 20 pairs of colored flags, to find a group of drummers and musicians, to invite a group of monks to the temple in the south, and to invite a group of Taoist priests in the Dongyue Temple.
The deacons were instructed to do it, and in a short time it was getting late.
The master and apprentice ate their evening fast and went to their sleeping places.
It is that: what time do you return to another village, and the bells and drums at the head of the building are far away. The six streets and three cities are quiet, and the lights of thousands of households and thousands of doors are dim. The moon is bright and the wind is clear and the flowers are shadowed, and the Milky Way is bleak and the stars are reflected. The sub-rules are deeper, and the earth is silent.
At that time, it was about three or four watches, and the servants in charge of the affairs got up as soon as possible to comprador all kinds of things.
You see that the kitchen of the banquet is in a hurry, the front of the hall with colorful flags is noisy, the feet of the monks are rushing, the drum music is rushing, the simple post is running east and west, and the sedan chair and horse are responding up and down.
In the middle of the night, I shouted until dawn, and it was about the time when it was over, and everything was finished, and I was just rich.
And the golden cicada masters and apprentices also got up early, and there was that group of people to worship.
Jin Chanzi instructed Wukong, Bajie packed his luggage, and Sha Seng went to detain the horses.
When the Bajie heard that he was leaving, he bent his lips and muttered, only to pack up his mantle and find Qigao's shoulders.
The sand monk brushed the horses and put up the saddle bridle to serve.
Wukong picked up the nine-ring staff and handed it to the golden cicada, and hung the guide bag of the customs clearance document on the golden cicada's chest, and wanted to leave together.
The staff and outsiders were all invited to the back of the big factory hall, where a banquet was laid out, which was even more different from the treatment in the hall.
But see that: the curtain is hung high, the screen is surrounded by four sides, in the middle, hang a picture of Shoushan Fuhai; two wall compartments, column four axes of spring, summer, autumn and winter. The fragrance in Longwending is misty, and the magpie tail furnace is full of gas.
Look at the plate clusters, the treasure makeup is bright, the table is piled with gold, and the lion fairy candy is arranged together. The front of the steps is encouraged by the palace merchants, and the fruit and dishes in the hall are splendid. The vegetarian soup and vegetarian rice are very strange, and the fragrant wine and tea are beautiful.
Although it is the home of the people, it is no less than the house of the princes. I only heard a burst of joy, and it was really earth-shattering.
The golden cicada is saluting with the staff.
I saw the maid come to report: "Master, the guests have arrived." ”
It turned out that the left neighbor, right house, brother-in-law, aunt, brother-in-law, sister-in-law and brother-in-law who were invited from outside, as well as those fellow Zhai Gong and good friends who chanted Buddha, all bowed to the golden cicada.
After worshipping, they sat down and sat down, only to see the drums and sheng under the hall, and the string songs and wine banquets above the hall.
At this feast, Bajie paid attention to the sand monk and said: "Old Sha, let go and eat more." After leaving the Kou family for a while, there will be no such good and sumptuous things!"
Sha Seng shook his head and smiled: "What the second senior brother said! As the saying goes, you can eat all kinds of delicacies, and you can be full." There is only a private road, and there is a private belly!"
Bajie shook his head and sneered: "You can't help it! It's not good! I'm full of food this time, and I won't be hungry even for three days." ”
When Wukong heard Bajie, Sha Seng discussed whether he was full or not, touched Bajie's stomach and laughed: "Bajie, don't eat for a while, your stomach will burst!
I couldn't eat for a while, and in the middle of the day, the golden cicada raised a chopstick on it and recited the Sutra.
Bajie panicked, seeing that Jin Cicada was leaving. Hurriedly took the rice, ate one bowl at a time, and ate five or six bowls, and put the steamed buns, rolls, cakes, and roasted fruits, which were nothing good or bad, and filled the sleeves with the master.
The golden cicada thanked the staff, thanked everyone again, and went out together. You see there are colorful flags outside the door, drummers and musicians.
Seeing the two classes of monks coming, the staff smiled and said: "It's too late for the ranks, and the elders have no choice but to leave, so I don't have time to fast for you, and I will thank you when I come back." ”
All the people let out of the way, and the sedan chairs were lifted, the horses were ridden, and the four of them were allowed to move forward.
I only heard the noise of drums, the flags covered the sun, the people gathered, the cars and horses filled in, and they all came to see the Buddha outside.
This game of wealth and wealth, the real race is surrounded by pearls and greenery, and it is no less than the brocade tent Tibetan Spring! That group of monks played a set of Buddhist songs; that class of Tao, blowing a mysterious sound, were all sent out of the city.
Everyone walked to the ten-mile long pavilion, and set up a pot pulp, a cup, and a drink and farewell.
The member still couldn't bear to give up, and said with tears in his eyes: "When the elder comes back from taking the scriptures, he must go to the house to live for a few more days, so that I have the heart of Kou Hong to the Buddha." ”
Jin Cicada felt inexhaustible, nodded, and thanked: "If I go to Lingshan and see the Buddha, I will be a great virtue first." When you come back, you will come to the door and thank you!"
A few people talked, and unconsciously walked another two or three miles, Jin Chanzi really didn't want to let each other go, so he hurriedly said goodbye, and the member cried loudly before returning.
This is exactly "there is a wish to fast the monk to return to the wonderful enlightenment, and there is no chance to see the Buddha."
The four masters and apprentices traveled about forty or fifty miles, and it was getting late.
Jin Cicada was tired, so he asked, "It's late, where are we going to spend the night?"
Bajie carried the burden and complained with his mouth: "If you don't eat ready-made tea and rice, you can't live in a cool tile house, but you have to take some westbound road, like robbing the soul of a mourner! If it rains tonight, how can this be good!"
When Jin Chanzi heard this, he scolded angrily: "Splashing evil animals, why are you here to repay your grievances again! As the saying goes, although Chang'an is good, it is not a family of long-term love. When we have the fate to worship the Buddha and obtain the true scriptures, then we will go back to the Tang Dynasty, play the lord, and eat the rice in the imperial kitchen for a few years, swell you to death, and teach you to be a full ghost!"
The bajie smiled helplessly and didn't dare to speak.
Wukong raised his eyes and watched from a distance, only to see a few rooms on the side of the road, and saw that Jin Chanzi was angry and hurriedly asked: "Master, rest there, rest there." ”
The master and apprentice walked to the front, and saw that it was a collapsed archway, there was an old flat on the square, and there were four big characters on the flat that fell the color and dust, which was Huaguang Xingyuan.
Jin Chanzi got off the horse and said: "This Huaguang Bodhisattva is the apprentice of the Flame Five Light Buddha, because of the elimination of the poisonous fire ghost king, so he was demoted and turned into the five manifestation spirit officials, and there must be a temple here." ”
Jin Chanzi took Wukong and the three of them into it together, but saw that the corridors and houses were all down, the walls were all overturned, and there was no trace of people, just some weeds.
The golden cicada felt that something was wrong, and planned to quickly withdraw out, but he didn't expect that the black clouds in the sky would cover the top and the rain would be drenched.
The golden cicada can only go with the flow, under the dilapidated house, choose a shelter from the wind and rain, and hide from it. Dense and silent, look closely to see that there is something wrong.
The master and apprentice sat and sit, stood and stood, and did not sleep all night.
Hey, it's really true: Taiji is still alive, happy and sad.
Let's not talk about the four masters and apprentices, there is a gang of murderers in Diling County, Tongtai Prefecture, because of prostitution, drinking, gambling, spending no furniture, there is nothing to do, so they gang up more than a dozen people to be thieves, calculating that the family in the city is the first rich man, and that family is the second rich man, to rob some gold and silver.
One of the people inside said: "There is no need to search, and there is no need to calculate, only the foreign family of the monk of the Tang Dynasty who sent it today is very rich." Wouldn't it be nice for us to take advantage of this night rain, and there is no one to guard against this street, and the fire armor and other armor will not patrol, so we will start and rob him of some money, and then we will go to prostitution and gambling and play tricks!"
When the thieves heard this, they rejoiced, and they all brought short knives, thistles, crutches, stuffy sticks, hemp ropes, and torches, and braved the rain to open the gate of Kou's house, and shouted to kill.
panicked that if the family is big or small, whether it is a man or a woman, they will all hide cleanly.
The mother hid under the bed, the old man flashed behind the door, and Kou Liang, Kou Dong and the children of the parent were all trembling and fled for their lives.
And the thieves took the sword, lit a fire, and opened the cage of his house, and searched for some treasures of gold and silver, jewelry, clothes, and utensils and fire. The man was reluctant to give up, so he gave up his life, and walked out of the door and said to the strong men: "The king, just enough for you, and leave a few clothes to send my old man to the end!"
The strong man said that he stepped forward and kicked the outside of the Kou Yuan to the ground, and the poor three souls returned to the underworld, and the seven spirits were separated from the world!
