In the middle of summer, in the suburbs west of Tianzhu Kingdom, there is a quiet scenery everywhere. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 On the flat field, there are various fruit trees such as plantains and coconuts, and the warm breeze caresses the air with a sweet smell. Although it is sparsely populated, it does not seem desolate, and it has a kind of otherworldly fairyland, which is beyond the mundane feelings.

On the side of a river flowing with blue waves, Tang monks and apprentices stopped here. Tang Seng did not ride a horse, but walked to a towering tree, prostrate on the ground to worship; Bajie, who was carrying the burden, couldn't help but ask Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, why does Master worship this big tree?" Sun Wukong just smiled and said: "I don't know either." With that, Sha Seng had already stepped forward and picked up Tang Seng.

"Master, why are you worshipping this big tree?"

Tang Seng replied with a smile: "The apprentices don't know, this is a Bodhi tree. Without waiting for the disciples to ask again, Tang Seng had already said: "The embodiment of the Buddha Shakyamuni is the prince of Kapila, Gautama Siddhartha. When he was young, in order to get rid of the suffering of the cycle of birth, old age, sickness and death, and to save the suffering sentient beings, he resolutely gave up inheriting the throne and his good wife and beloved son, and became a monk to seek the true meaning of life. After years of cultivation, I finally sat under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights, overcame all kinds of evil temptations, and attained great enlightenment and finally became a Buddha when the sky was about to dawn and the morning star rose. ”

"Oh, I see!" Sun Wukong heard this, and hurriedly said: "Since this is the case, let's all bow down too!" Several apprentices said, and they all knelt down respectfully, and bowed to the Bodhi tree with a Buddha salute. Gao Lan also bowed to the ground religiously, the closer she got to the Spirit Mountain, the more difficult it was to suppress the expectation in her heart, it has been ten years since she entered the scripture learning team, Gao Lan has practiced all the way, and she doesn't know what kind of future awaits her.

Tang Seng also glanced at Gao Lan, and only said: "Apprentices, seeing that it is still early, you and I will meditate under this Bodhi tree for half a day, and it will not be too late to leave! Even if we can't compare with each other, we must also use this holy realm to understand the Buddha's teachings is the right path. Gao Lan and the others listened and agreed very much, and everyone found a place to sit down. Then they meditated together, crossed their knees and palms, and entered meditation.

The sweet river breeze blows, and you can occasionally hear the chirping of birds in the distance. On top of that, the scorching summer sun shines through the tall canopy. The stars were sprinkled on the bodies of the masters and apprentices.

Gao Lan meditated at this time, did not practice any exercises, and gradually did not think about the matter of seeking positive results. Sitting under the Bodhi tree, it seemed that her heart, which had been a little hot all the way, calmed down again. The past events of the past 14 years have also surfaced in the bottom of her heart, from knowing Zhu Bajie, to following Tang monks and apprentices to the west, from seeking their own immortal fate, to now all the way to Lingshan.

It seems that compared to these things, Zhengguo cannot be compared with the relationship between Tang Seng and his apprentice and himself.

"yes. With this relationship with Master and my brothers, I don't care about anything anymore. If I have attained positive results, I will naturally be with them, and if I have not attained positive results, I will also be with them!" Seeing that the sun had passed noon, the weather had shown a hint of heat in the afternoon. Gao Lan gradually woke up from her meditation, her eyes calmly looking into the distance.

Tang Seng and Sun Wukong also woke up one after another, and it seemed that they were meditating this time. It really calmed everyone's excitement.

"Apprentices, let's go!"

The master and apprentice settled down their eager hearts, and then they left the Bodhi tree together and continued to move towards Lingshan. Although the scorching sun is on the head. But everyone didn't feel hot anymore, and after walking for more than ten miles, they suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing in their faces. This cool breeze was also mixed with a misty and watery atmosphere, and Gao Lan's ears were extremely good, and he had already heard the sound of the waves rolling first.

"Master, there's a river!" But he saw a wide river blocking the way. The river is about ten miles wide, but the cliffs on both sides have a huge drop, the cliffs are dozens of zhang high, and the bottom is the turbulent river. The water flow is so huge that it can splash up waves and hit the grass and trees on the shore, only to see Tang Seng frowning: "Wukong, you see that this river is so turbulent, and there is no boat, how can you get by?"

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong built a pergola with his hands, looked around, and found a single-plank bridge. "Master, there's a bridge here!"

Tang Seng was first overjoyed when he heard this, but when he took a closer look, he couldn't help but turn pale: it turned out that this bridge was just a bowl of thick wood, and it was swept by the waves, so wet and slippery, that people didn't even dare to look at it. There is also a plaque on the side of the bridge, which reads "Lingyundu". Tang Seng hurriedly said: "Wukong, how can this bridge be crossed?" Sun Wukong smiled and hurriedly asked Sha Seng to help Tang Seng together: "Master, as long as you are careful, you can get by!"

As the two spoke, they set up Tang Seng and carefully stepped on the bridge deck. I didn't want to take a few steps, Tang Seng slipped and fell on the mud and grass on the bank! Fortunately, this is the shore, if you fall down in the middle of the river, it is really going and there is no return, so frightened that Tang Seng's face is full of sweat, and he shakes his hand again and again: "Wukong, I can't get over for the teacher!" Sun Wukong listened, and pulled Bajie over.

"Master, let Bajie show you first!"

"Huh?" When Bajie heard this, his legs went limp. "Forget it, Brother Monkey, we'll still get over the wind. Sun Wukong said: "That's not good, only walking from here is the right way!" said and pushed Bajie onto the bridge, scared Bajie slipped and fell, and hugged the wood: "Help, help......" Tang Seng was about to criticize Wukong for a few words, when there was a burst of boatman's singing in the distance.

"Senior brother, listen, someone is singing!" Sha Seng hurriedly patted Sun Wukong, Sun Wukong opened his eyes and saw that someone was holding a small boat close to the shore! Not long after, Tang Seng and they also saw the boat, and the elder couldn't help but rejoice: "Great, there is a boat ......" But he was not happy, and couldn't help but feel bitter again: because when the boat rowed over, there was no bottom.

"Wukong, how can this bottomless boat cross people?" Tang Seng hurriedly took a step back. Sun Wukong said: "Master, didn't you hear the song that the boatman sang just now? You go up!" He said without waiting for Tang Seng to react, so he kicked him down! Tang Seng was hanging in his heart, and he didn't want to fall into the boat, so he stepped on it, and actually stood on the boat.

On the flowing water next to the boat, I saw a Tang Seng's own "corpse", floating down the water, only to be so shocked that Tang Seng was speechless for a long time. Just when Tang Seng was surprised, the boatman said: "Holy monk, you are now out of the mortal womb, congratulations!" Tang Seng only reacted at this time, it seems that after getting on the boat, there is really a feeling of rebirth, and he can't help but clasp his hands and say: "Amitabha!"

"Senior sister, this boat is the Buddha who is in the west to guide the Buddha. You can also go on the boat to take a look, maybe you can ask for an immortal body!" Sun Wukong saw that Tang Seng had already boarded the boat, and couldn't help but push Gao Lan as well. When Gao Lan heard this, he no longer hesitated, jumped into the bottomless boat. Sure enough, she didn't carry the immortal qi, and actually stood at the bottom of the void boat like Tang Seng.

And beside the boat, there was also a "corpse" floating over, but it was not the corpse of a person like Tang Seng, but a little tiger more than a foot long, shaped like a kitten! This little tiger floated along the big waves, originally with a face of sorrow and tears, but after "seeing" Gao Lan, he finally closed his eyes peacefully. For a moment, Gao Lan's heart seemed to be stabbed by a feeling, and he felt a faint pain.

"This ......" Gao Lan was shocked at this time, but at this time, the Buddha looked at Gao Lan and laughed: "Hahahaha, sure enough, it is the True Spirit Little Tiger who has come to the Holy Realm!" He said, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Bailongma also flew to the side of the boat one after another. The Buddha glanced at Gao Lan, who was stunned, and finally said, "Little girl, you have completed the calamity, and you can achieve your long-cherished wish for several lifetimes!"

"How many lifetimes of wishes?" Gao Lan looked at the Buddha who had already rocked the boat forward, but he never knew what was going on.

The Buddha said: "Xiaolan, your predecessor was originally a true spirit tiger at the foot of the West Tianling Mountain, because of the congenital weakness, like a kitten, was bullied and laughed at by the same clan. The Buddha originally wanted to preach your supreme Dharma and transform into you, but you, a true spirit tiger, were sad by nature and despised our Buddha's great teachings! Now that he has regained his immortal fate and restored the golden body of the Buddha and Tiger, it is just around the corner!"

"Original...... So that's the case?" Gao Lan glanced at the masters and brothers around him, and found that they also had an incredible face. The Buddha shook the boat and said, "I am a Buddha who transforms all living beings and is blessed with bliss." Today, you have already gotten rid of the sadness of congenital defects, all the way west, aggressive, and the Buddha sees it in his eyes. Xiaolan, this is also thanks to your own efforts. ”

"Thank you for your advice. Gao Lan hurriedly clasped his palms and bowed, but his heart couldn't calm down for a long time. Was she a pessimistic and indifferent person many lifetimes ago? Gao Lan could hardly imagine that her memory was only two lives, and she had always been a carefree personality in these two lives. Even if she was born lower than others and her life was unsatisfactory, Gao Lan was so heartless, optimistic and cheerful.

It is easy to seek the Buddha's body, but it is difficult to seek the Buddha's heart. Gao Lan believes that the True Spirit Little Tiger before the Ninth World should not be a pessimistic and cold character. Because it is herself, the congenital defects and the oppression of life have made it lose its own nature, but now Gao Lan has returned to the original point, because the power of Buddhism and immortal fate has allowed her to regain her self-confidence and the joy she once lost.

"Senior sister, congratulations. Sun Wukong said from the bottom of his heart, and Bajie also hummed: "Lady, congratulations." Sha Seng also smiled and said, "Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, that's right!" Tang Seng also laughed, "It's all right, it's all right!" Gao Lan took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes, "Master, since we should be happy to learn the scriptures, why don't we sing with the Buddha?"

"Okay!" the Buddha was also very happy, "I'm afraid you're a little worse than the poor monk singing?" )
