Master Sanzang asked in a low voice, "Master, what happened?"

The old man sighed, tears were about to roll out, and said in a low voice: "Master, I don't know what sins I created in my previous life, my surname is Niu, I married a wife when I was young, and I am now my wife, we didn't have our first child until we were sixty years old, and since then we have eaten fasting and chanted Buddha, thanks to Guanyin Bodhisattva, but unfortunately, the child died less than a year old." Then at the age of 100, he had a second child, named Niu Er. Who knows that this child will grow up to be more than ten years old, and he will not do his job, and when he becomes an adult, he will be mixed with a gang of bandits and robbers, before and after the mountains, left and right villages, they burn, kill and rob, and do all kinds of evil. The people in the mountains were poor, and they went out of the mountains to rob and kill people in the cities outside, and once they were forced by the government, they would go home to hide. We just got a report from the people in the village, saying that my son of law has come back with a group of strongmen, and later in the day, I saw them drinking in the town outside, and I guessed, in the middle of the night tonight, in case Niu Er comes back, you and the great sage, don't make a noise, don't come out to do too much, my son of evil kills people without blinking, be careful not to hurt your lives. ”

Master Sanzang said: "Master, I am good at persuading people to be good, or I will persuade Linglang to abandon evil and follow good——"

The old man was startled, and hurriedly said, "Master, you must not face him." There was also a monk who came to persuade my son to be kind, but before he could say a word, he was cut down by the son of a knife. This exhorts him to do good, and he will never mention it again. Mage, let's be honest, if it weren't for the freezing cold, you wouldn't have a place to hide, and if you go out, you're more likely to bump into my son of a, otherwise, I'll let you go quickly. ”

Master Sanzang said, "Okay, old man, I promise you, just don't make a sound." ”

The old man apologized to Sanzang and confessed his guilt, and then went. Sanzang closed the door and glanced at the monkey on the bed, who opened his eyes and said, "Master, I have already heard what you said to the old man. ”

Master Sanzang said: "Wukong, I see that this old man and the old woman, as well as the daughter-in-law, are all good people, eat fast and worship the Buddha, I want to persuade his son Niu Er." ”

The monkey said, "Master, didn't you hear the old man say that the evil son cut down the monk who persuaded the good man with a single sword. ”

Sanzang said: "My father-in-law's family treats us well, but we go to kill his son, we must not do this." ”

"Master, what do you have to do?"

"I want to have a flower graft, no matter how vicious Niu Er is, he is also a mortal, we make a trick, pretending to be an old man and an old woman, you pluck the roots and hairs, and become the daughter-in-law of Niu Er, we are a family of three, and we will meet that Niu Er for a while. If that Niu Er still has a conscience and just goes astray, I will persuade him well-"

"What if he's still stubborn?"

"Wukong, at the beginning of human beings, their nature is good, and I don't believe that some people are evil by nature. ”

"Master, at the beginning of human beings, who said that sex is inherently good? In the wolf's place, is nature inherently good or inherently evil?"

Master Sanzang said: "Where the wolf is, it is naturally also good. ”

The monkey shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile, "Okay, well, I have memorized what Master said." ”

"Follow me!" Sanzang gently pushed open the wooden window and shrugged out, silently. The monkey somersaulted, and swished out of the window.

"Master, I'll go to the front and see where that son of a son is. The monkey said, and with a bang, the man was gone.

It was autumn, it was cold in the middle of the night, Sanzang carefully went around to the mountain road in front, and after a while, he saw Wukong descending from the sky and whispered: "Master, that son of a son came from the front road with a dozen people." ”

"Then hurry up and cast a spell!" Sanzang said, chanting a spell and turning into an old man. Wukong smiled: "Master, your trick only deceives mortals, and I am with you, and I have really humiliated my name as a great sage." ”

Sanzang shouted, "Wukong, are you missing the Tightening Spell?"

The monkey was startled, and hurriedly said with a smile: "Master Mo reciting the mantra, I said the wrong thing." Hee-hee, look at my magical powers. "Good great sage, there is no need to spend time reciting the incantation, and a hut appeared on the flat ground, exactly like the old man's house, with a stream next to the hut and a big tree behind the house. The monkey took the form of an old woman, followed by the young daughter-in-law.

When everything was arranged, I heard the sound of footsteps outside the gate, then there was a knock on the door, and a rough and fierce voice sounded: "Dead old man, get up and open the door!"

"Open the door, open the door!" Many people outside the door shouted for a while, and the wooden door was banged.

Sanzang's trembling voice said: "Niu Er, I don't have your son anymore, and this home is not your home anymore, you get out of me." ”

Hearing a coax, the door was kicked open, and more than a dozen people poured in. As soon as the old man and the old woman got up and dressed and came out, they saw a large group of fierce men standing in the middle of the house, each holding steel knives and iron swords, and some of them still had double axes, and they were very angry.

One of the black men said with a grin: "Old man, mother, hurry up and boil hot water to wash our brothers and feet." Brother, go to the chicken coop behind my house and take out the chicken and kill it, and go to my pigsty and cut off two pigs' heads. ”

The two thieves said yes and went majestically.

The old woman hurriedly stepped forward to stop her, but was pushed to the ground by the two thieves. The old woman got up and hugged the thief's legs, the thief's face flashed, the steel knife was aimed at the back of the old woman's heart, and said, "Niu Er, your mother doesn't know how to lift." ”

Niu Er said: "Brother, you are stupid, kill my mother, who will cook for us and roast the pig's head? The thieves laughed together.

The steel knife in the cow's second hand waved: "Old man, what are you doing standing here stupidly, hurry up and go to the kitchen to make a fire and do something." "Kicked, kicked on the waist of the old man, kicked the old man to the ground, "Old man, I know you don't like me, you don't recognize my son, my son doesn't recognize you, get up, do things!"

The old man covered his waist and screamed, Niu Er squatted down, and the steel knife held the old man's neck: "Old man, if I didn't see that you used to be my father, I would have cut you with a knife." ”

The old man burst into tears, struggling and said: "Niu Er, I worked hard to raise you, what did I do to be sorry for you, you touched your conscience and said, you have to be reasonable, it's my fault, I don't need you to do it, I will die by myself!"
