Chapter 65 The Treasure Elephant Comes from the Troubled River, and the High Mountains Hinder the Holy Monk in Panic

The old demon said: "Why did you let Tang Seng go?" The princess said: "Husband, have you forgotten what the real person said before leaving? This Tang Seng can't touch it, and now I'm afraid it will soon reach the ears of the heavenly court, and when the time comes, you and I will be separated again." The old demon said: "What Madame said is very true, wait for me to make it clear to these two bastards." The old demon turned around and shouted, "Zhu Bajie, I have already released your master." You go to the back mountains to look for it, and you will have to step into my territory in the future, otherwise your soul will be scattered. ”

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing were relieved when they heard the old demon's words, this old demon is too powerful, if it really fights, I'm afraid it will be unpredictable! The two led their horses and carried their burdens to the back mountain, only to see Sanzang standing at the back door of the Boyue Cave and looking around. Bajie shouted, "Master." Sanzang recognized the voice of Bajie, and hurriedly replied: "Bajie, the teacher is here." ”

Sha Seng followed the sound and pushed aside the grass and saw Sanzang standing at the door waiting for the two. Hurriedly walked over and helped Sanzang onto the white horse, and the three of them walked all the way, but in a moment they came out of Wanzi Mountain and came to the official road. On the road, the sand monk has been complaining about the eight precepts, and the eight precepts are looking for various reasons to justify, and the three treasures should be the peacemaker to mediate the matter.

Because of the matter of Wanzi Mountain, the three of them are not separated, they are fetching water together, and they are also together. In this way, the three of them walked all the way and stopped, and in a blink of an eye, they walked two hundred and ninety-nine miles and came to a city. I saw that there were three big characters written on the city gate, and Sanzang sighed: "I finally came to the Treasure Elephant Country, and the things entrusted by the female Bodhisattva can also be ended." ”

After showing their customs clearance documents, Sanzang and the others walked into the Treasure Elephant Kingdom as they wished and lived in the post house in the city. After settling down Bajie and Sha Monk, Sanzang went straight out of the post house and came to the gate of the palace. said to the general guarding the door: "The general is tired of passing through, and he said that the Tang monks passed through here and came to exchange the customs clearance documents to His Majesty." ”

The general said, "Elder wait a moment. He turned around and walked towards the palace, and after a while, the general came to the throne of Jinluan and said, "Your Majesty, a senior monk from the Tang Dynasty has come to our place to exchange the customs clearance documents." "The king thought about it, this Tang Dynasty is a big country in the east, and the national strength is extremely strong, and he must have come here to explore the national situation. With joy in his heart, he said to the general: "Let him in".

After a while, the general came to the main hall with Sanzang. Sanzang saluted and said: "The poor monk Tang Sanzang has seen Your Majesty. The king said: "Elder please, I don't know why the elder came to our country?" Sanzang said: "The little monk is a monk of the Tang Dynasty, and at the behest of His Majesty, he went to the Xitian Da Lei Yin Temple to seek the true scriptures, passed through your country, and came to exchange Guan Wen in order to walk in the country. ”

The king said: "If that's the case, then present the Guan Wen of the Tang Dynasty." Sanzang held Guan Wen in both hands and put it in front of the king. The king opened it and looked at it, and it read: Li Shimin, the Tang Emperor of the Tang Kingdom of Nanzhan Buzhou: I heard that there are three treasures of the true scriptures in the Great Leiyin Temple of the West Heaven, and I specially ordered the monks to ask for it. Passing through Chu country, I am grateful to open the door of convenience. In the eighteenth year of Zhenguan, the autumn auspicious day. The lower right corner of Guan Wen is covered with the seal of the Tang Dynasty.

The king took out the great seal of the Treasure Elephant Kingdom, printed it, and handed it to Sanzang. Sanzang took the customs clearance documents, saluted again, and said: "Your Majesty, the poor monk is here, in addition to the exchange of customs clearance documents, there is also a letter to your Majesty." The king said: "Family letter? Sanzang said: "This person is not in my Tang Kingdom, Your Majesty has lost a princess thirteen years ago?"

The king said: "It is true, my favorite third daughter was accidentally lost during the Mid-Autumn Festival thirteen years ago, and this king searched all over the country and failed to find her, how did the holy monk know? Fortunately, Her Royal Highness the princess rescued her and came here. Before leaving, she gave me a letter to teach me to give to His Majesty. ”

Sanzang handed the letter to the king, who was so excited that he did not listen to the call. I had to order someone to call the scholars of the Hanlin Academy to read the letter. The scholar opened the letter and read: "The unfilial daughter is ashamed, please forgive the unfilial daughter's behavior, thirteen years ago during the Mid-Autumn Festival, by the gift of the father, the daughter was able to enjoy the moonlight." However, the moon is cloudy and sunny and the moon is lacking, and people have good and bad luck. The daughter was accidentally kidnapped by a demon and married a wife. However, after a hundred turns, my daughter learned that I and the demon were originally a couple, but because of the rules of heaven, they could not be together. Today, I am fortunate to meet, and I will grow old with my son when I hold the hand of my son. ”

When the scholar finished reading the letter, the king burst into tears. said to the hundred officials: "This king thinks about it day and night, and he never thought that the little girl would marry a woman, which will hurt my style. The order went down to remove the genealogy of Baihua and remove her title of princess. Sanzang said: "Your Majesty, the matter is over, and the poor monk will leave." The king said, "Thank you to the holy monk for bringing a letter to your family, and this king will reward you with the first two taels of gold and ten thousand taels of silver for the entanglement of the west." ”

Sanzang said: "Money is something outside the body, and it is inconvenient for a poor monk to carry it in his body, and he also asks His Majesty to withdraw the decree." The king said, "Since the holy monk is so high-spirited, this king is not reluctant." If there is nothing to do, let's go on the road early. Sanzang said: "Thank you Your Majesty for reminding you, the poor monk will leave tomorrow morning." ”

Sanzang returned to the post house and informed the two of Bajie about the affairs of the court. Sha Seng said: "At that time, I felt that this matter was a little strange, and now it seems that these two people must be the stars in the sky and the earth. Otherwise, he would have been discovered by the Jade Emperor and recalled to the Heavenly Palace. Sanzang said: "Why is this?" Sha Seng said: "Master doesn't know, the heavens have to be lit every three days, if it is not for the great gods such as Zhou Tian Xingshu, there is no possibility of escape." ”

Sanzang said: "I see, if this is the case, it is not something we can govern. Bajie said: "This king does not pay attention to hospitality, and since dark, no food has been delivered." Sha Seng said: "There is such a big thing in the king's house, how can I have spare time to care about me and wait for hunger." We still go to bed early and leave sooner tomorrow morning, and the people in the province are upset when they see us. ”

Sanzang said: "That's what Wujing said, let's go to bed early." Early the next morning, Sanzang and the others left the Treasure Elephant Country and walked west. There is a way that time flies and is fleeting. In the blink of an eye, it's spring again. A majestic mountain blocked the way of Sanzang and the others to the west. Sanzang said: "Bajie, the mountain and the road ahead are far away for fear of demons, so we must walk carefully." ”

Bajie said: "If you want to say this, you have to blame the master, if you don't drive the demon monkey away, why be so cautious." Sha Seng said: "Second senior brother, this matter is no wonder Master, it was you who repeatedly provoked Master at the beginning, which provoked Master to be furious and drive away Senior Brother, how can you blame Master now." ”
