Chapter 55: Huanyingjian
The back of the pig dog gradually faded away, Tang Sanzang thanked loudly: "There is a labor pig to protect the law!", after speaking, he lowered his head and glanced at his feet a few times, with a puzzled expression: "It's strange, the poor monk obviously fell here, how could he not even find a scum?"
Sun Wumao stepped forward and asked, "Elder Tang, are you sure that when you fell from this Dragon Catfish Mountain Range, there was feces gushing out with you?"
Tang Sanzang pondered carefully, sighed, and replied, "Ahhh......h I didn't pay too much attention to it! I'm afraid that the poor monk's brain is confused, I can't remember clearly, I can't remember clearly!"
Sun Wumao said: "Even if there were, I'm afraid it would have been washed downstream by the river, right? In my opinion, Elder Tang's physical body may not be in this mirror!"
"The shadow of the poor monk has been excreted by this thousand-year-old dragon catfish, and it stands to reason that the feces should also come out together!"
"I don't think so, Elder Tang, you see, you were swallowed by a thousand-year-old dragon catfish outside the mirror, how could your physical body run into the mirror?
"Then why does the shadow come in, but the flesh can't?"
"I'm afraid I'm going to ask about this mirror, don't forget its name, it's called Huanyingjian!"
"Raccoon, Shadow, Shadow, Shadow! hiss...... You, the pig protector, and the poor monk are just shadows, so what Sun Protector said is not unreasonable!"
"I think so!" Sun Wumao peeked at the surrounding shrimp soldiers and crab generals, leaned forward and whispered to Tang Sanzang: "Elder Tang, since the three of us are all shadows, is it possible that these shrimp soldiers and crab generals of yours are just shadows? I have a hunch now, this dragon catfish mountain range in front of us is also a shadow! Could it be that everything in this mirror is just a shadow?"
"Amitabha, this is really not good! Where did Sun Protector's revelation come from?"
"Elder Tang has never seen this mirror, I have touched it with my hands, it is just a piece of scrap copper that can reflect light and shadow back, the palm is big, flat and flat, and the sole is not as thick as a shoe, if everything in this world is real, how can it be accommodated? Therefore, I have a hunch that everything in this world is just an illusory shadow!"
Tang Sanzang pondered while listening, and nodded again and again: "Uh-huh! What Sun Protector said is extremely true! It seems that the poor monk still has to wait until he comes out of the mirror and goes to the Lingyun Ferry to find it! Amitabha!"
He continued: "Sun Protector, if the poor monk's body was really digested into a lump of feces by the thousand-year-old dragon catfish, is there still a way to restore it?"
"Well...... After all, it is the dung that Elder Tang's own body has turned into, and he may be able to make a rough paste according to the original appearance of his forehead, and then ask my master to blow on you, and it must not be difficult to recover!" Sun Wumao said this, and sighed, "And the pig protector, I'm afraid there is no way to recover, alas!"
"Why did Sun Protector sigh, according to the poor monk, the body of the pig protector was just turned into a pool of blood, and he did not experience the decomposition of the stomach and intestines like the poor monk, so it must be easier to recover than the poor monk, right?"
"It's not that easy! The body of the pig protector has already turned into a light, a light that can't be caught!"
"Turned into a ray of light?"
"Yes, a black light! After he was sucked into the purple gold red gourd by Taishang Laojun and Erlang God, he was taken to the six centers and given a black light!"
"Amitabha! The Pig Protector is the head of the Four Protectors at the foot of the Spirit Mountain for my Buddha! Taishang Laojun and Erlang God are not unreasonable gods, why do they do this?"
"Alas! This is a long story! Even I almost died under the knife of Erlang God, thanks to the Taishang Laojun to relieve the siege! Maybe they have their reasons! When this mirror is revealed, the pig protector and I will naturally find a way to go to heaven to ask them for an explanation!
Tang Sanzang raised his head and was melancholy: "Turning into a light, the light that can't be caught is really no way to recover! Hey, Sun Protector, the poor monk's body has become dung, and the pig protector's body has become light, so your body is still intact? Where is it?"
"My body, my body, also entered the mirror with me, and I don't know if it was still intact, and when I fell from the sky, I broke the bottomless boat and sank to the bottom of the river, and I didn't think that the shadow floated up, but the body did not come back, and I drowned in this river, right? I fed the fish, and maybe I was looking for it now!"
"Oh, the poor monk quickly sent me an order to find those shrimp soldiers and crabs!"
Sun Wumao hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No need Elder Tang, this matter is not in a hurry, there are three urgent things at the moment, one is to find Elder Tang and the master, the second is to find the exit of the mirror, and the third is to find Sha Wuyu, now the first two have known the result, and then the third urgent matter, when we find Sha Wuyu, we will think about getting out of the mirror together!

When Tang Sanzang heard this, he was puzzled: "Ah Hai, no, Sun Protector! Didn't you say that everything in this mirror is just an illusory shadow? Why can your physical body be able to enter? The poor monk just found out, this matter doesn't make sense!"
"I'm not like you and the Pig Protector. ”
"How is it different?"
"This Huanying Jian has a magical power, that is, when the person reflected in the mirror is in danger, it will suck that person in! That's how I came in, you and the pig protector have no direct contact with this mirror, it should be just one of the thousands of shadows of the dead it absorbs, and it is to protect me, even the shadow of the person is sucked in!"
"Amitabha! It seems that this palm-sized Huanyingjian is really not to be underestimated, and it is actually willing to save people from danger! The merit is immeasurable, the merit is immeasurable! However, since it can accommodate your physical body, then it is not just a mirror that can only hold shadows, the world in the mirror is the same as the world outside the mirror, it must also be a real and independent world, but it is not in the same dimension as the world outside the mirror! If this is the case, these shrimp soldiers and crabs of the poor monk may not all be shadows, will there be some danger to their lives outside like Sun Protector and be sucked in?"
"What Elder Tang said is not unreasonable, according to your statement, it is really hard to say whether these shrimp soldiers and crab generals are all shadows!"
"Huh?" Tang Sanzang turned his head and looked at Sun Wumao in confusion, "Sun Protector, you just said that there are illusory shadows in the mirror, so doesn't this sentence make sense? Why didn't the Buddha slap your mouth this time?"
"Hehe!" Sun Wumao snickered and said, "Elder Tang, you are thinking about it carefully, what tone did I use to say it?"
"What kind of tone? How could this poor monk pay attention!"
"Hehe! I'm asking rhetorically, not answering!"
After hearing this, Tang Sanzang thought about it carefully, it was really like this, and said in surprise: "Oh, the poor monk is a mother! Yes, how did the poor monk find out?"
"Hehe! I found out after the eighth slap!"
"Otherwise, the poor monk will also come and give it a try?"
"Try it!"
Tang Sanzang cleared his throat and said, "Buddha, how can it be right to walk towards the side that doesn't have long eyes?"
After a while, there was nothing unusual, and Tang Sanzang said happily: "Oh, the poor monk is a mother! If you say this, you really won't be opened your mouth! The poor monk will try again! Buddha! The disciple thinks that it is wrong to walk towards the side that does not have eyes!"
"Smack!"
As soon as the words fell, Tang Sanzang was slapped to the ground, he quickly got up from the ground, covered his face and said excitedly: "Oh, the poor monk is a mother!
"Elder Tang, why bother!"
Tang Sanzang slapped his head and said regretfully: "If the poor monk had known this, he would have been slapped by the Buddha many times!"
"In that case, does Elder Tang still think that the side without eyes is the front, and the side with eyes is the back?"
"Amitabha! Of course!"
"Elder Tang, why are you so obsessed, just now you also said your so-called wrong, but the Buddha didn't whip you! Why do you still insist so much on your so-called right and your so-called wrong? Do you want to change your words and ask a rhetorical question like just now?"
"Amitabha, the poor monk thinks it's still unnecessary!" Tang Sanzang said in a chiseled voice: "Just as Sun Protector said just now, a rhetorical question is also a question, not an answer, since it is not an answer, how can we conclude whether what is said is right or wrong? The Buddha will never be wrong! You see, the poor monk said that the Buddha was not wrong, and the Buddha did not hold the mouth of the poor monk, which is enough to show that the poor monk is right!"
After Tang Sanzang finished speaking, he turned his head and said to Sun Wumao in a reproachful tone: "Amitabha! I said Sun Protector, as the protector of Lingshan, you don't devote yourself to the Buddha and do your best to protect the Dharma, but why do you speak disrespectfully everywhere and contradict the Buddha?
Sun Wumao had no choice but to say helplessly: "Okay, Elder Tang, it seems that you really firmly believe that the Buddha in this world is the Buddha? Let's continue to talk about this mirror!"
Sun Wumao saw that Tang Sanzang was so obsessed with the Buddha in the mirror, so he had to divert the topic first, he had a hunch that the power of this Huanying Jian was by no means as simple as mentioned earlier, he wanted to tell Tang Sanzang his understanding of this mirror, so as to use its power to deter him and convince him.
How powerful is the Huanying Library? Do you remember that sentence?
-- Those who die in the world outside the mirror are alive in the world in the mirror! Those who live in the world outside the mirror are dead in the world in the mirror!
I think it would be appropriate to add a few more sentences to emphasise:
Buddha is no exception!
Demons, there is no escape!
God, what can I do?
people, not to mention!
