Chapter 592: The Monkey Under the Four Elephant Towers
The beautiful scenery of the West Lake is in March, and the spring rain is like wine and willows.
Hangzhou West Lake, the scenery is unparalleled, for many years, countless literati and tourists lingered on the shore of the West Lake, boating on the lake.
On the south bank of the West Lake, under the Rihui Peak of Nanping Ridge of Chaoxi Mountain, there is a Taoist temple, which is called Chaoyang Temple. In front of the Chaoyang Temple, there is a tall tower, called the Four Elephants Tower.
There is a legend in Hangzhou, and it cannot be said to be a legend, because many old people in Hangzhou City have seen it with their own eyes. It is said that eighteen years ago, the heavenly god tower is the four-elephant tower in front of the Chaoyang Temple.
Some people swear that there is a bold monkey demon who sneaks into the heavens and intends to cause chaos because he knows how to demons. didn't want to be discovered as soon as she entered the heavenly court, so Dou Mu Niangniang personally took action to suppress it. Niangniang is kind-hearted, and it is not easy for him to practice, so he suppressed it under the Four Elephant Pagoda, grinding its wildness and turning it into a demonic spirit.
Why is this not a legend, because most of the legends are made up by people, and many people have seen it with their own eyes. Moreover, for a few days every month, a miserable cry came from the Four Elephant Pagoda, which was sharp and by no means human. Over time, people believe it. Last year, Hangzhou giants spent a lot of money to build a Chaoyang Taoist Hall next to the Four Elephant Towers to worship the fighting mother of the demon suppression, that is, the Holy Mother of Jinling.
In fact, on the third day after he was imprisoned in the Four Elephant Pagoda, Sun Wukong accepted his fate, because he found that this pagoda was extremely strong and could not be broken by himself. If you cultivate in this tower for a few years, it may be possible to improve your eight or nine Xuan Gong by two more levels. Anyway, it's boring, and he can't get out, so Sun Wukong is cultivating in this tower.
But after all, monkeys are monkeys, and they can't endure loneliness when they practice all day long. After Sun Wukong practiced, he lay on the wall of the Sixiang Pagoda and listened to the words of passers-by outside to relieve his boredom.
Listen and listen, Sun Wukong found out that something was wrong. It turns out that those people who pass by the Four Elephant Pagoda will tell the story of the Four Elephant Pagoda. When Sun Wukong heard it, he said that he was extremely unbearable in that story. It's the woman who pressed herself here. was highly respected by people, and also built a temple for her.
The most annoying thing is that on the sixth day of March every year, that is, the day when the Four Elephant Pagoda falls from the sky, the people of Hangzhou will also worship in the Four Elephant Pagoda. The way of sacrifice is that an old Taoist stands in front of the altar, recites some messy scriptures, and then shouts a few words such as "Demon monkey, don't take refuge quickly".
Who can stand this anger, besides, Sun Wukong's temper is not good, and he has to be scolded by others outside? Sun Wukong made a fuss in the Four Elephants Tower.
But no matter how much he tossed, he couldn't break the Four Elephant Tower, and then he would roar in the tower to vent his frustration. That's why people outside the tower can hear the screams in the tower.
Today is the seventh day of the first month of March, and yesterday was the day when the people of Hangzhou sacrificed in front of the Four Elephant Pagoda. As usual, he offered tribute to the Holy Mother of Jinling, and then the Chaoyang Guandao appeared and reprimanded the Monkey King in the tower.
What is the most depressing question? The answer to this question is different for everyone. But if you want to ask Sun Wukong this question, Sun Wukong will sue you, and the most depressing thing is that you can hear others scolding you. But he who rebukes you does not hear you scolding him.
The angry Monkey King threw off the stick again and smashed it in the tower. From the first layer all the way to the fourth layer, and from the fourth layer to the first layer, until the mana and body are exhausted. He threw the rod and lay on the ground gasping for air.
"Huh?" Although he was tired enough to wield a stick, Sun Wukong's ears and eyes were still clear. Just now. He heard a sound, and with his ears he could tell that it was not coming from outside the Four Elephant Pagoda, but from inside the Four Elephant Pagoda.
Roll over and jump. Sun Wukong happened to see a colorful glow falling in front of him.
Thinking it was an enemy, Sun Wukong was just about to pick up a weapon, but saw the colorful glow turn into a person.
"Buddha!" Seeing the face of the person who came, Sun Wukong was extremely excited. He knew that in his heart, apart from the teacher Su Bodhi, this person was the best for him. not only saved him from danger, but also passed on his spell, although that spell Sun Wukong had never practiced.
The person who came was the peacock Rulai who had just come out of Jinshan Temple, looking at Sun Wukong, who was suffering from messy hair, Peacock Rulai smiled faintly, "You monkey head, suffer hardship." ”
"Buddha save me!" Sun Wukong fell to his knees and pleaded loudly.
"Hey......" Peacock Rulai sighed lightly, rolled up his big sleeves, and a colorful glow covered Sun Wukong from head to toe.
The colorful glow quickly dissipated, and Sun Wukong Lingtai was clear for a while, only feeling that there was something more in his body.
The white light was like water, flashing on Sun Wukong's body, and a treasure map appeared in front of him. "This is ......" This baby Monkey King has seen it before, but it doesn't seem to have much power, and then somehow, this treasure map is gone, and I don't want it to be hidden in my body all the time.
Pointing to the map of the mountains and rivers society, the peacock said: "This is the map of the innate spirit treasure mountains and rivers society, and it is a treasure given to you by the demon saint Nuwa Niangniang. I will refine this treasure with the method of sacrifice and refining that I passed on to you, and it can help you subdue demons and eliminate demons on the way to learn scriptures in the future. ”
"On the way to learn the scriptures......" saw the fairy light shining on the map of the mountains and rivers, Sun Wukong couldn't put it down, but when he heard the words of the peacock, he suddenly came to the spirit, "Buddha, you mean that the old grandson can go out ......"
Looking at Sun Wukong with a weak expression, Peacock Rulai only felt funny, and nodded, "It's okay to go out, but you have to escort the high monk Xuanzang to the Pure Land of the West Heaven to obtain the true scriptures, and then transmit the true scriptures back to the world." ”
Don't say anything about learning from the scriptures, as soon as I heard that I could really go out, I was so happy that Sun Wukong was so happy that he ran around in the Four Elephant Tower.
Peacock Rulai shook his head helplessly, and with a finger of his hand, Sun Wukong was stunned, and the soles of his feet seemed to take root, and he suddenly froze in place.
"Don't rejoice too soon, you can't go out yet. Peacock Rulai's words were like a basin of cold water, which directly poured a cold on the hot Monkey King, and was full of joy waiting for Peacock Rulai to let him out, what he didn't want to wait for was such a sentence.
Where is Sun Wukong willing to follow, scratching his ears and cheeks so anxious that his face is flushed, "Buddha, you can let Lao Sun out! If you can let me go out, don't talk about learning scriptures, my Lao Sun is willing to do anything!"
Under Sun Wukong's expectant gaze, Peacock Rulai still shook his head, "This must not be like this, Wukong, if you endure it for a few more days, the person who learns the scriptures will come to you in less than half a month." ”
"Ahh......h This can be called how good is Lao Sun...... "Hearing Peacock Ru say that he can't go out yet, Sun Wukong grabbed Peacock Rulai's sleeve and begged bitterly.
"Enough!" was really annoyed by him, the peacock Rulai shouted angrily, and pulled his sleeve to break free of Sun Wukong's monkey claws. "Monkey head, no matter how presumptuous you are, you will never be able to get out of this tower!"
"Grandpa Rulai is angry!" This monkey is really called a person who can bend and stretch, seeing that the peacock Rulai is already angry, and it is not good to splash this trick by himself, so he hurriedly came down honestly. "Buddha, when will the monk who learned the scriptures come, don't let Lao Sun wait for him for too long. As he spoke, Sun Wukong thought in his heart that if the monk came late, he would reward him with two sticks.
Seeing that although the monkey was honest, but a pair of eyes were rolling around, the peacock guessed that the monkey had no good intentions. Thinking about the fact that his nephew Jin Chanzi has just been reincarnated for eighteen years, and his mana has not yet recovered, I am afraid that he really can't stop this monkey.
"Goku!"
"Buddha, do you have something to tell the old man?"
Peacock Rulai thought about it, and stared at Sun Wukong with both eyes, "The Buddha mother once said that my Buddhism is magnificent, and there is no one who cannot cross, today I am willing to cross you to the entrance, are you willing?"
"I don't want to!" Hearing the words of the peacock, Sun Wukong jumped three feet high and shouted: "The Buddha spared Lao Sun, Lao Sun doesn't want to be a monk...... Forehead ......"
Why don't you keep shouting? It turns out that Sun Wukong has already seen the cold gaze and devouring sneer of the peacock Rulai.
"Buddha...... Do you have to let the old grandson enter the Buddha's door?" Sun Wukong was finally defeated under the cold gaze of the peacock Rulai, this Buddha seems to have a bad temper, if he is angered, I am afraid that even out of this tower will have a change. I might as well promise him first, can't I quit again after entering the Buddha Gate, why bother to come to this Buddha.
Peacock Rulai didn't know that the little abacus in the monkey's heart was crackling, but Peacock Rulai had his own plans and thoughts in his heart. "Wukong, you are stubborn by nature, and you still need to hone your mind to enter my Buddhism. It just so happens that if you want to follow the golden cicada westward, let's be a walker in front of him first!"
"It's easy to say! Whatever the Buddha asked Lao Sun to do, Lao Sun will do!" Anyway, he had already thought about the way out in the future, and Sun Wukong listened to Peacock Rulai's words, and hurriedly agreed.
"Okay!" Listening to Sun Wukong's promise, Peacock Rulai was very satisfied with the monkey's attitude, and with a finger of his hand, the armor on Sun Wukong's body turned into a Buddha clothes and a Buddha hat. It's just that I think of Sun Wukong assisting Jin Chanzi to go west, and I'm afraid that he will have to fight with people along the way, and the Buddhist clothes prepared for him by Peacock Rulai are somewhat similar to the monk's clothes of Buddhist monks in the world.
After designing a dress for Sun Wukong, Peacock Rulai looked him up and down, ignoring Sun Wukong's flushed face, "It seems that there is something missing." ”
"That's right!" Peacock Rulai suddenly slapped his face, stretched out his left hand, and shot out a five-colored light on his index finger, which turned into a five-colored entwined headband, which was directly set on Sun Wukong's head.
"Buddha, what kind of treasure is this?" Feeling that something was on his head, Sun Wukong subconsciously touched it, he had been mixed in Xiniu Hezhou before, and had seen Buddhist walkers and Toutuo, so he naturally knew what he was carrying. But it occurred to him that the person who gave him this headband was extraordinary, and that this headband might still be a great treasure.
Peacock Rulai nodded, "Don't say it, this is really a treasure!" (To be continued......)
