Chapter 51 Wealth Refines the Heart
Since Lingxi came to the scripture-learning team, Tang Seng is the happiest person. The four masters and apprentices plus a white dragon horse, the spirit rhino and the Tang monk who thought he was a human race were complete human bodies. And they are both white and pure, and I don't know where to see them better than the ugliness of monkeys and pigs' heads.
Besides, Lingxi still has real skills, Tang Seng naturally relies on this third apprentice. So, the task of the apprentices was arranged by the master as Sun Wukong leading the horse, Zhu Bajie picking the salute, and Lingxi went to the front to open the road and fasted part-time.
Since the original Marshal Tianpeng became Zhu Bajie and went on the road of learning scriptures, his temperament has slowly become lazy, and I don't know if he is pretending.
Bajie often complained: "Look at the things I picked: four pieces of yellow vine, eight ropes, to prevent rain, the felt cloth is wrapped in three or four layers, the flat pole is still slippery, and there are many nails nailed at both ends, a nine-ring staff made of copper and iron, and a large cloak wrapped in silk and vine. With so much luggage, I carry the old pig all day long, and the three of you masters and apprentices treat me as a long-term worker!"
The monkey and the spirit rhino naturally didn't react when they heard it, this guy can afford to pick a few mountains, anyway, he didn't complain to show himself.
Sure enough, Tang Seng listened to the words of the Eight Precepts, and then paid attention to the salute, there were indeed many things. He also felt that Bajie was indeed fortunate to be in charge, and his attitude was much better for him.
On this day, everyone felt hungry when they were on the road, and they happened to come to a house.
There are wild chrysanthemums with buds blooming on the side of the fence in this place, and there are orchids planted on the side of the small bridge, reflecting the water pill. Plaster walls, the fence occupies a large area. The courtyard is magnificent, at first glance it is a well-off family, I have not seen cattle, sheep and chickens and dogs, and it is estimated that the word rich and noble will be added.
The courtyard door was open, and as a sign of politeness, Lingxi went up and knocked on the door.
After a while, a woman of about thirty years of age came out of the hall, richly dressed and good-looking.
The woman asked, "Who are you who have come to knock at my widow's door?"
Lingxi replied: "The little monk came from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Territory, and he was ordered to worship the Buddha in the West and ask for scriptures. The four masters and apprentices passed by the precious land, it was getting late, and they wanted to borrow it for a night in the old Bodhisattva's mansion. ”
In these years, there were basically no bad people as monks, so the woman smiled enthusiastically and said, "Call your companion in." ”
After that, lead the way in front.
Invite the four masters and apprentices into the living room and sit and watch tea.
When the tired look on the faces of the four masters and apprentices subsided slightly, the woman said again: "Our side already belongs to Xiniu Hezhou. The little woman's maiden name is Jia, and her husband's surname is Mo. Unfortunately at an early age, her aunt died early, and she and her husband inherited the ancestral business, and they had thousands of family assets and thousands of acres of fertile land. My husband and wife had no children in their lives, only three girls were born, the year before last was unfortunate, and they lost their husbands, and the widows of the little women just finished this year. There is no close relatives in the land and family business left by my ex-husband, only my mother and daughter have four inheritances. If you want to marry someone else, you can't give up a good family business. You masters and apprentices are also four. There are four of my mother and daughter, and I want to recruit husbands who come to the door, and the number of four is just right, I don't know what it means?"
When Tang Seng heard this, this was to ruin his Taoism! He immediately pretended to be deaf and dumb, sat on the chair and drank tea, and did not answer the call or go to see the master anyway.
The woman continued to tempt: "My family has thousands of acres of fertile land, more than 1,000 yellow buffaloes, herds of mules and horses, countless pigs and sheep, sixty or seventy pastures in Zhuangbao, and gold and silver that will not be used up in a lifetime. If you masters and apprentices are in my house, free and free, enjoying the glory, why should you suffer from the westward journey?"
When Tang Seng heard this, he was even more silent, like a piece of wood.
Lingxi couldn't help but shout hello for Tang Seng when he saw it, and this monk hesitated in his daughter's country, and now he is mortal with his naked eyes, and he is really not moved by money and women.
Then the woman said, "I am forty-five years old, the eldest daughter is named Zhenzhen and is twenty years old, the second daughter is called Ai Ai and is eighteen years old, and the third youngest daughter is called Mercy and is sixteen years old. Although the little woman is old, my daughters are all beautiful, and all the women know how to needle and thread. Because the first husband had no son, he took care of his daughters as sons, and when he was a child, he also taught them to read some Confucian books, and they all knew how to recite poetry. Although he lives in the villa, he is not one of those vulgar people, and he is worthy of the elders!"
Tang Seng was shocked when he heard this! He himself was not afraid, he was afraid that his apprentice would be tempted, and when the time came, he would go to learn the scriptures alone, and he would be eaten by monsters halfway!
Marshal Tianpeng has been Zhu Bajie since he became Zhu Bajie, although he retains some wisdom, more importantly, he has implemented what he said to Lingxi, "What do you want to do, I just have to cooperate". The meaning of this sentence is, I don't bother to know what you planned, what you want me to do, even if you say it.
Bajie does not have the fiery eyes of Sun Wukong, nor does he have the Buddha heart cultivated by Tang Seng for ten lifetimes, let alone the prophetic prescience of Lingxi. So, he's really tempted! With an idea, he can't help a lot in big things anyway, so he just messes around in this good place!
has been a pig demon in the world for a long time, and he is ashamed of a few cents a pound, Bajie said that he didn't know. He first asked Tang Seng if he wanted to stay, Tang Seng shook his head, and then he asked the monkey and Lingxi, and the two of them also shook their heads.
Seeing everyone like this, Bajie cheekily went to the woman in front of everyone and said, "Mother, they don't want to stay, my old pig is willing to stay." ”
The woman looked down and thought about how only one would stay, and she had to find a way to keep a few more.
Seeing that the woman didn't respond, Bajie was anxious, thinking that he was disgusted with his ugliness, so he said: "Mother, don't look at my master's good looks, but he is not as good as my old pig." The thousands of acres of land in your house, no need for cattle to plow, just a meal of palladium for an old pig, you can do it casually. I can still ask for rain if there is no rain, and I will call the wind if there is no wind. Building a house and digging a pond is only a matter of a short time. ”
It's okay that Bajie has a little conscience, and he didn't compare the spirit rhino.
When the woman heard this, she smiled and said, "Yes, yes, count you in." Don't be busy making decisions first, let's take a look at my daughter first!"
Then he went into the back room and called out to his daughters.
After a while, the door of the inner room opened, and when they heard the ring, they saw the woman come out with her three daughters.
The three daughters were true, loving, and merciful, and when they met the four masters and apprentices, they stood in the living room. Sure enough, all of them are beautiful and delicate, and their faces are spring.
Tang Seng clasped his palms together and bowed his head to chant Buddha; Sun Wukong didn't even look at it; Lingxi smiled and waited to see the joke of Bajie.
Sure enough, Zhu Bajie's eyes were stupid, and he was so lustful that his saliva flowed out unconsciously!
Lingxi shook his head secretly, if this person loses his reserve, a negligence, how terrible the fall will be. People don't distinguish between high and low, that's all nonsense! The former Marshal Tianpeng was more wise and martial than Erlang God, and now he was once frustrated, although his heart has not changed, but his quality has undergone earth-shaking changes, and now he is different from a real pig demon!
Thinking of this, Lingxi secretly warned himself that there were already too many such things happening on Earth. In a lifetime, people must not only stick to their original intentions, but also sharpen their character, and cannot compromise due to changes in the environment.
At this time, his mind continued on the path of heart refining that had been interrupted, and began to slowly advance towards the state of consummation!
