Chapter 108: Trying to Meditate, the Road is Difficult
It is said that after Tang Sanzang accepted the three disciples of Monk Sha in the Liusha River, the four masters and apprentices continued to advance towards the Great Leiyin Temple in the West Heaven.
Guanyin, Manjushri, Fuxian and Lishan's mother decided to try the determination of Tang monks and apprentices to learn scriptures from the West, which was not only the original Rulai's instructions, but also because Muzha returned to the South China Sea and said a lot of bad things about Tang monks and apprentices in Guanyin's ear.
The old mother of Li Shan turned into a beautiful woman, and the three bodhisattvas of Guanyin, Manjushri, and Fuxian turned into three stunning girls, and transformed a manor on the road of Tang monks and apprentices, waiting for them to arrive.
The four of them left Tang Seng and his apprentices to entertain, and the banquet revealed the meaning of recruiting sons-in-law from them, Tang Seng naturally refused sternly, Sun Wukong was not interested at all, and Monk Sha was also indifferent, only Zhu Bajie had a hue on his face, he had already guessed that the four mother and daughter in front of him had an extraordinary background, after all, he had the cultivation of the late Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he had been able to vaguely sense the strangeness of the four mother and daughter, guessing that it should be a person in Buddhism, but he was bold and planned to take advantage of the opportunity.
So woke up the next day, Nuoda Villa disappeared, only a forest, Tang Seng, Sun Wukong and Sha Monk woke up and heard the wailing of Zhu Bajie in the forest, rushed over to take a look, and found that Zhu Bajie was hanging between two trees, and kept asking for help with a loud voice.
Sun Wukong was naturally laughing, and Monk Sha was also blushing, only Tang Seng proclaimed a Buddha name.
There was a simple post hanging on the tree, Sha Seng took it and handed it to Tang Seng, only to see that it was written: Li Shan's old mother is not Sifan, Nanhai Bodhisattva, please go down the mountain. Fuxian Manjushri is a guest, turning into a beautiful woman in the forest. The holy monk is virtuous and vulgar, and the eight precepts are more ordinary. From now on, meditation must be changed, if you are sluggish, the road is difficult!
Tang Seng still didn't understand that at this time, the four saints were testing the Zen hearts of their masters and apprentices.
Sha Seng and Zhu Bajie, who had experienced this, were naturally much more well-behaved, after all, they had seen the methods of Guanyin and other great supernatural powers, and they were a lot more afraid in their hearts, and they didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
The master and apprentice walked for more than half a month, and came to the Wuzhuang Temple of Wanshou Mountain, which coincided with the absence of Zhen Yuanzi, but he had already instructed the Qingfeng Mingyue Haosheng who stayed behind to entertain Tang Seng and his apprentices, and beat two ginseng fruits for Tang Seng to taste.
This ginseng fruit, also known as grass returning pill, is the spiritual root that existed at the beginning of the opening of the heavens, and Zhen Yuanzi, who was born with the book of the earth, was born under it.
The ginseng fruit tree is the earth-walking spiritual root of the innate five elements spiritual root, and it is the top-level innate spiritual root, and it is not inferior to the four great lotus flowers of the flood wilderness in terms of level.
This tree blooms once in 3,000 years, bears fruit in 3,000 years, and then matures in another 3,000 years, and only gets 30 fruits in 10,000 years, this mortal can live 360 years old when he smells it, and can live 47,000 years when he eats one, and its preciousness is far greater than that of the peach in the heavenly court.
It is only because the ginseng fruit is congenitally afraid of the five elements, this fruit falls when it encounters gold, withers when it encounters wood, melts when it encounters water, burns when it encounters fire, and enters when it encounters soil.
The Qingfeng Mingyue and the two of them took the two ginseng fruits like babies who were not yet full of three dynasties to Tang Seng to enjoy, Tang Sanzang was mortal with the naked eye, and he didn't know this rare innate spirit fruit in the wilderness, and he refused again and again.
And Xia Bing, who was hiding in the shadows on the side, couldn't help but swallow his saliva and said secretly: "It's a pity that I've been in the wilderness for so many years, not only have I never eaten a peach, but I haven't tasted this ginseng fruit." ”
He comforted himself again: "It's just a desire for the stomach, I will endure it first, these spiritual roots will be mine sooner or later, and I'm afraid that it won't be able to escape, isn't there a saying called that, those who become big things must be hungry first, I'll be hungry first, and then snatch the ginseng fruit tree back and eat it to my heart's content." ”
Xia Bing looked away with difficulty, no longer tempted by the fragrant fruit.
The breeze and the bright moon saw that Tang Seng didn't know this fairy spirit fruit, and regarded it as a baby, so they no longer persuaded him, and they would go to their own room with the fruit, and planned to eat it themselves, and they kept laughing at Tang Seng on the way, who didn't know the fairy treasures, and was bumped into by Zhu Bajie, who had just walked back from a horse.
Zhu Bajie's saliva flowed, and he remembered what the Taiqing patriarch ordered when he went down to earth, rolled his eyes, and went to encourage Sun Wukong to steal the fruit.
This Wuzhuang view is the Taoist place of the ancestor of the earth immortals, Zhen Yuanzi, the immortal god who has a bit of identity in the Three Realms, does not know the Tao, this Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk are even more aware of it, if it weren't for the power behind them, they would have already explained it to them, and Zhu Bajie would not dare to pay attention to the ginseng fruit.
It is no different from the original Journey to the West, Sun Wukong stole the ginseng fruit, and was insulted by Qingfeng Mingyue because of the incident, and pushed the ginseng fruit tree in anger, of course, Sun Monkey is just a mere Taiyi Golden Immortal Where can he hurt the ginseng fruit tree, but the ginseng fruit tree has spirituality, and he has already been ordered by Zhen Yuanzi, and he was deliberately pushed by Sun Wukong.
After Zhen Yuanzi rushed back, he also entered the role directly into the play, won the Tang monk master and apprentice, wanted to get out of the oil pot, and beat him with a whip, although he saw Sun Wukong playing some small tricks under his nose, he also regarded it as not knowing the way, and finally forced Sun Wukong to seek medical treatment everywhere, and he was willing to let him save the ginseng fruit tree.
Sun Wukong visited famous doctors all over the world, but when he heard that it was to treat the ginseng fruit trees, he shook his head and sighed, and then remembered the words "If you are in trouble, find a Bodhisattva", and went to the South China Sea to ask Guanyin for help.
That Guanyin had long expected the monkey to come back, and reprimanded Sun Wukong, to the effect that Zhen Yuanzi was so powerful, that is, she didn't dare to provoke, and the Buddha didn't dare to offend anything, and then picked up the jade bottle with an indifferent face, and went to Wanshou Mountain with Sun Wukong.
But he was dripping blood in his heart, and secretly scolded: The thief who killed a thousand knives snatched up the Sanguang Divine Water of this seat, and the drop that was just produced was about to be used on the ginseng fruit tree.
After coming to Wuzhuang Temple, Guanyin met Zhen Yuanzi, and the two sides exchanged false greetings, and then Zhen Yuanzi went straight to the point and asked Guanyin to save the tree, the meaning could not be more obvious, that is, she wanted to use the Sanguang Divine Water to warm her own ginseng fruit tree.
The ginseng fruit tree that ate the Sanguang Shenshui was very cooperative and stopped playing big cards, and stood up directly, and the ginseng fruit that fell on the ground also grew back.
Xia Bing, who was hiding on the side, sighed: "It's all acting schools, if it weren't for Uncle Xia's high ability, he would be killed by these black-bellied guys sooner or later, don't you see that Zhen Yuanzi, who is known as an honest man, is so dishonest?"
Zhen Yuanzi was very satisfied when he saw that the ginseng fruit was set up, and pulled Sun Wukong to worship him, and asked Qingfeng Mingyue to lay down more than a dozen ginseng fruits and feasted everyone.
After that, the four Tang monks and apprentices continued on the road, and Xia Bing followed.
Next is the famous Monkey King three dozen white bone spirits, and Tang Seng expelled Sun Wukong.
But this white bone essence is not a white bone essence at all in Xia Bing's eyes, but a certain underworld yin god possessed it with a trace of divine soul, manipulating a resentful white bone.
I think it was an agreement reached between the Wu clan and Buddhism in the underworld, after all, when Sun Wukong was in the underworld, Buddhism owed favors, and now of course people want to share some merits.
After driving Sun Wukong away, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Tang Sanzang continued on the road, while Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain to be his Monkey King and went happily.
But it is said that the three of Tang monks and apprentices went to a black pine forest, saw a high tower in the forest, Tang Seng thought it was a pagoda, disgusted Zhu Bajie and Sha Seng ugly appearance, so he took the initiative to go to the tower to spend the night, only to find that the door plaque above the tower door was written "Wanzi Mountain Boyue Cave" six big characters.
Tang Seng didn't care, still knocked on the door, and waited until the door opened to know that Lu Dao, where is this pagoda, it is clearly a fairy cave, and the sad Tang Seng was naturally taken into the cave and tied up.
There is an old monster in a yellow robe in this broken moon cave, which is incarnated by the Kui Wood Wolf in the Nether Realm of the Twenty-Eight Constellations of the Heavenly Court, and it is also a chess piece arranged by a certain great power to increase the calamity of Tang monks and apprentices and share the merits of Journey to the West.
This Kui Timber Wolf is only in the middle stage of Taiyi Golden Immortal, and he is not inferior to the joint efforts of Zhu Bajie and Sha Monk, but they are all people in the heavenly court, they know each other, and they all know how to act in the Dao opera, so they naturally pretend to be a monster and can't beat it.
Later, the princess of Baoxiang Kingdom, who was reincarnated by the maid of the Heavenly Court Phi Xiang Palace, begged Kui Mu Wolf to release Tang Seng, and Kui Mu Wolf released Tang Seng according to the script.
Tang Seng for the hundred flowers to bring a letter to the king of Baoxiang country, the king learned that his daughter was captured by the monster, begged Tang Seng to rescue, Tang Seng was reluctant to agree, at this time Zhu Bajie stood up and took care of everything, the king was very happy to see it, and warmly entertained Tang Seng and his apprentices. After Zhu Bajie was full of wine and food, he went to the Broken Moon Cave to fight, and faked a fight with Kui Mu Wolf, pretending to be invincible, and was deliberately caught by Kui Mu Wolf.
Tang Seng saw that Zhu Bajie would not be able to do it for a long time, and asked Sha Seng to go to help, and Sha Seng was caught by Kui Mu Wolf again, and then Kui Mu Wolf turned into a handsome young man who came to Baoxiang Country to recognize his relatives, and framed Tang Seng as a tiger spirit, and turned Tang Seng into a tiger in front of the king.
When the king saw this, he was convinced and ordered Tang Seng to be locked up.
The three masters and apprentices were arrested, and the white dragon horse turned into a white dragon and Kui Wood Wolf at night, and the enemy fled, saving Zhu Bajie, and before he could save the sand monk, Kui Wood Wolf killed it back.
Zhu Bajie exerted a radical spell to invite Sun Wukong back from Huaguo Mountain, Kui Wood Wolf and Sun Wukong fought a fight, pretending to be invincible and fled back to Heaven, Sun Wukong rescued Tang Seng, the master and apprentice were reconciled as before, and the four of them continued to go to the west sky.
