Chapter 192: The contradiction between master and apprentice
In the wilderness, in the realm of immortals.
Tang Seng and Sun Wukong, the master and apprentice, left Wuzhi Mountain and embarked on the road of learning scriptures again.
Along the way, with the protection of Sun Wukong, whether it is encountered by robbers robbing homes and houses, or tigers, leopards and wolves, they are all scared away by Sun Wukong's release of demonic energy, where can ordinary tigers and leopards and mortals fight against Sun Wukong? Tang Seng saw all this, and at the same time, he was more serious about Sun Wukong, and he couldn't help but be more grateful to Guanyin Bodhisattva for sending him such a powerful apprentice.
That night, the master and apprentice stayed in a house, Wukong served Tang Seng to wash, saw Tang Seng take off a white cloth shirt, take it and put it on, Tang Seng gave the shirt to Wukong, the next day, the two had a morning fast, thanked the master, took the road to the west, along the way inevitably hungry and thirsty, Xiaoxing stayed overnight.
On this day, while the two were walking, they suddenly heard a roar, and six robbers broke out, each with a spear and a short sword, blocking the way, and shouting, "Monk, where to go! Leave the horses early, put down the luggage, and spare your life!"
Tang Seng was so frightened that he fell off the horse, Wukong helped Tang Seng up, and shouted, "Master, don't worry, it's nothing, this is all about sending clothes and plates to us!"
Immediately, Wukong greeted him and said, "What's the matter with the ranks, dare to block the poor monk's way?"
"We are the king of the cut path, the good-hearted mountain master, the name has been sown for a long time, you don't know, leave something early, let you go. If you don't say half a word, you will be crushed to pieces!"
Wukong immediately smiled and said, "I am also the ancestral king. The mountain lord who has accumulated years has never heard of the great name!"
"You can listen, I'll wait for a call to see the joy. One is called to listen to anger, one is called to smell love, one is called to taste and think, one is called to opinion, and one is called to worry about one's body!"
Immediately, Sun Wukong didn't bother to waste time on the six people, so he took out the golden hoop stick, smashed the six people into meat sauce with a stick, stripped him of his clothes, snatched his coil, and walked over with a smile and said, "Master, please go, the thief has been killed by Lao Sun!"
Tang Seng hurriedly said, "You have caused a big disaster! Although they are thieves who cut the path, even if they get a lawsuit, they will not be guilty of death. How do you become a monk? Monks sweep the floor for fear of hurting the lives of ants, cherish moths and gauze lamps, why do you indiscriminately beat them to death? There is no compassion at all! This is still not found in the mountains, if it is in the city. You also commit murder, cling to sticks, and indiscriminately hurt people, and when the time comes, you won't even be able to get out of it as a teacher!"
Wukong hurriedly defended, "Master, if I don't kill him, he will kill you!"
"I am a monk, I would rather die than commit murder, even if I die, I am only one person, but you killed six of them. How can you justify it? If this matter is reported to the government, it will be you Lao Tzu who is the official. I can't say it!"
Sun Wukong said, "Don't hide it from the master, five hundred years ago, when my grandson called the king strange in Huaguo Mountain, I don't know how many people were killed, if you really want to sue the official, you have to start suing five hundred years ago!"
"It's only because you confiscated it, tyrannized the world, and deceived the heavens, that you suffered from these five hundred years of suppression, even your master can't protect you, you have entered the Buddhism now, if you are still like back then, then you can't go to the West Heaven, you can't be a monk!"
This monkey was already unpopular, he saw that Tang Seng only babbled about Xuxu, and even his master was pulled out, so he immediately couldn't hold back the fire in his heart, and shouted, "Since you are like this, you can't be a monk, and you can't go to the West Heaven, you don't have to say that, I just go back!"
Immediately, Wukong made a character, jumped up, and shouted, "Lao Sun go!", Tang Seng looked up hurriedly, Wukong was no longer visible, and immediately had to be alone, nodding and sighing to himself, grieving, and muttering to himself, "Criminal! I said a few words to him, why did he go without a trace? I want to find him back, I don't know where he is, or I should go on the road alone!"
Immediately, Tang Seng had to pack his luggage, hang on the horse, and did not ride a horse, one hand held a tin cane, one hand grasped the reins, desolate and desolate, and went west, not long after, only to see the front of the mountain road, there was an old woman, holding a cotton robe, and there was a flower hat on the cotton clothes.
When Tang Seng saw her coming, he hurriedly led the horse and stood on the right side to give way, but the old woman asked, "Where are you the elder, lonely and miserable walking here?"
"The disciple is the person who went to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures by the Holy Decree of the Eastern Tang Dynasty!"
"The Buddha of the West is located in the Leiyin Temple of Tianzhu Kingdom, which is 108,000 miles away, how can you get it if you are alone, you have no partner, and you have no apprentice!"
"The disciple received an apprentice a few days ago, but he was fierce and stubborn, so I said a few words to him, but instead of being taught, he left in a negative mood!"
"I have a collar of cotton cloth straight, a hat inlaid with gold flowers, originally used by my son, he only became a monk for three days, unfortunately died in a short life, I went to his temple, cried, resigned from his master, bring these two coats and hats, as a commemoration, elder, you have an apprentice, I will give you this coat and hat!"
"I received a gift from my mother-in-law, but it's just that my apprentice has left and I don't dare to receive it!"
"Where did he go?"
"I don't know, I guess I'm going back to Dongtu!"
Not far to the east, is my house, I must have gone to my house, I also have a mantra here, called to make a mantra of concentration, also known as the mantra of tightening, you can secretly read it, keep it in mind, don't leak it to others, I will catch up with him, tell him to come with you, you can give him this coat and hat, if he does not obey your call, you will silently recite this mantra, so that he will not dare to commit murder again!"
Tang Seng heard the words, bowed his head and thanked him, but the old woman turned into a golden light, and shot towards the east, Tang Seng thought that it was Guanyin Bodhisattva who gave this mantra, hurriedly picked up the soil and burned incense, looked at the east and prayed earnestly, and then took the coat and hat, and hid in the middle of the baggage, but sat on the side of the road, recited the mantra of concentration, recited it back and forth several times, read it well, and kept it in mind.
