Chapter Ninety-Eight: The Eight Precepts of the Law

"Master, my grandson is back. Tang Seng was talking about the past and the present with the senior staff, when he suddenly heard the voice of Sun Monkey, looked up, and found that he had received the iron rod and was standing in the living room.

The senior staff and a few old men in the village hurriedly bowed their hands: "The little elder is tired, tired!" Tang Seng knew what a few people were thinking, so he asked the monkey head: "Wukong, you went to this night, have you ever captured that monster?"

Sun Monkey sat down in a position and said with a smile: "Master doesn't know, that monster is not an evil thing in the mortal world, but Marshal Tianpeng went down to earth, because he mistakenly cast a pig's fetus, called Zhu Gangguan, although he looks ugly, but he is a man of Taoism." Lao Sun fought with him for more than an hour, he fled cowardly, hid in his own cave door, I saw that it was not early, I was afraid that the master was worried, so I came back to report a news. ”

"Elder" The senior official knelt down when he heard this, "Although you said that you drove him away, but when you come back in the future, there is no elder, what should the old man do?"

Sun Monkey is not stupid, although he said that he beat Zhu Gangguan away, but his methods are really not very glorious, otherwise he would not return empty-handed. "You old man is not interesting, and the monster also told me that although he ate your food, he did not take it in vain. In the past few years, he has earned a lot of family assets for your Gao family, what do you owe you? He is also a god of heaven, and he is a concubine with your daughter, this kind of identity is also your Gao family, why not keep him as a son-in-law?"

"Elder. Gao Yuanwai looked embarrassed, "Although it didn't harm my Gao family, but after all, it didn't sound good, Zhuangzi said at every turn, the Gao family recruited a monster son-in-law, how can this be a person?"

"Wukong, even if he has promised to be a member, he will always do it over there, so that the villagers can rest assured. Tang Seng spoke, but Sun Monkey had to listen. "That's good, Gao Lao'er, take care of my master, and my grandson will capture him!"

As he spoke, Sun Monkey rode up in the clouds and flew out of the village in an instant.

said that Zhu Gangguan at this time was cleaning up things in Yunzhan Cave. He knew that Sun Monkey was going to come and burn down his cave in a few moments, so he had to carry important things with him.

After about an hour, I heard a loud bang, and the door of the Yunzhan Cave was smashed!

Zhu Gang flew out, looking at Sun Monkey's majestic and imposing momentum, standing in front of the Yunzhan Cave. "Okay, you are a Bi Ma Wen, just lose to my old Zhu in the fight, and destroy my house, what is the reason?"

Five hundred years ago, when my grandson was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, he stole Jindan imperial wine, was caught by Erlang God, and pressed in front of the Bullfighting Palace. ”

"I remember that you don't live in Huaguo Mountain, Aolai Country, Dongsheng Shenzhou, why did you come to the door today to bully me?" Sun Monkey propped up the iron rod on the ground, and said: "How do you know, my old grandson has changed his ways, and now he is protecting the Eastern Tang Dynasty and driving the royal brother, going to the West Heaven to worship the Buddha and ask for scriptures, passing by Gao Laozhuang to spend the night, and then I came to descend to you!"

Zhu Gangguan was "taken aback", hurriedly threw the nine-toothed nail rake, put his palms together and said: "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding, my old Zhu was originally persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and I was guided by her, and I am waiting here for the person who takes the scriptures." ”

"Is that true?" Sun Monkey was a little incredulous. Zhu Gangguan patted his chest, "My old Zhu is willing to swear to the sky!"

How do you know that Sun Monkey still doesn't believe it: "Even so, you burned down the cave mansion and had no place to live, so my grandson took you to see the master." Hearing this, Zhu Gangguan clicked on the Yunzhan Cave without hesitation, anyway, all the things that should be brought in the cave were gone, and there were no nostalgic objects.

Sun Monkey had seen Zhu Gangguan's ability, but he was still afraid that he would hurt people, so he plucked off his hair, blew a breath of fairy air, and shouted "change"!

This hair turned into three strands of hemp rope, tied Zhu Gangguana into a strong knot, pinched his ears, and flew to Gao Laozhuang. By the time we arrived at Zhuangzi, it was almost dawn.

"Idiot, it's Master sitting in front of that hall. Sun Monkey descended from the clouds and pulled Zhu Gang over. "Elder, this is my son-in-law!"

The senior staff was overjoyed and was busy kowtowing to Tang Seng.

It was the first time Zhu Gangguan saw Tang Seng, and he saw that this monk had a wide forehead and beautiful eyebrows, and he was really a beautiful man with a deep Buddhist relationship. "Master, I am worshiped by my old Zhu!"

Tang Seng was taken aback by the appearance of Zhu Gang's hyena-headed human body, and hurriedly asked Sun Monkey: "Wukong, why does this demon worship me?"

Sun Monkey smiled and said, "Master doesn't know, this monster is also enlightened by the Bodhisattva, so I am waiting here to protect Master from going west to learn scriptures!"

Zhu Gangguan also said that the Bodhisattva lit himself, and Tang Seng was overjoyed, and hurriedly borrowed the incense burner from the senior staff, and bowed to the south: "Thank you Guanyin Bodhisattva for her holy grace." The senior staff and several old people in the village also hurriedly added incense and worshipped.

Then Tang Seng entered the hall and sat down, and Zhu Gangguan saluted him and called Sun Monkey his senior brother.

"Even if you enter my Shamen, today I will give you a Dharma name, which is called the Eight Precepts. "Although Zhu Gangguan doesn't like to have more names, Zhu Bajie is better than Zhu Wu, right?" ”

When the Gao family saw that Zhu Gangguan was leaving, they were all overjoyed, and after some hospitality, they were about to go west.

The senior staff wanted to give some gold, silver and cloth, but Tang Seng refused to accept it, so he had to send some dry food to the three masters and apprentices. Seeing that the three of them were about to hit the road, Zhu Gang's eyes were sharp, and when he saw Miss Gao who was hiding behind the door, he yelled before leaving: "Old man, please treat Miss well, if I can't learn from the experience, I will come back!"

This voice made Miss Gao burst into laughter, and even scared Gao Yuanwai to the ground and rolled his eyes.

Zhu Gangguan had long known that there would be today, talked to Miss Gao, and taught her the method of thirty-six changes of cultivation, and prepared a lot of pills in the past two years, so he left with peace of mind.

"You rammer, you know nonsense. Sun Monkey scolded, gave Zhu Gang a salute, and led the way in front.

The three masters and apprentices only relied on foot, and it took more than a month to cross the boundary of the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom.

As he was walking, he looked up and saw a high mountain. "This mountain is called Futu Mountain, and there is a person in the mountain, called Wuchao Zen Master, and I have heard of him. ”

Zhu Gangguan's divine thoughts can cover the entire Fuling Mountain, and this Futu Mountain near the Wusi Tibetan Kingdom naturally knows it.

The three of them went up the mountain, and an ascetic-like old man greeted them, who was none other than the Wuchao Zen Master.

"The holy monk came, and he was unwelcomed, unwelcomed. After a polite moment, Wuchao Zen Master said: "Although it is a long way to go, there will be a day when it will arrive, but the magic obstacle is difficult to eliminate." I have a volume of the "Sutra of Many Hearts", which I give to the holy monks, so that the holy monks are harmless. ”

After giving the Heart Sutra, Wuchao Zen Master turned into golden light, and Zhu Gangguan was dumbfounded, daring to love this Zen master who came and went quickly, even Zhu Gangguan couldn't grasp his means, but he was afraid that the Tao would be extraordinary.

Tang Seng took it in his hand and looked at it, wrote the "Maha Prajnaparamita Heart Sutra", and hurriedly bowed to the Zen master.

"This Zen master, pretending, if he didn't go fast, my old grandson would definitely beat him down!" Sun Monkey held an iron rod, eager to try, and saw Zhu Gang's cold sweat. Don't look at this monkey is not big, but he is a real violent maniac, and if he annoys him, he can poke a hole in the sky.

Fortunately, Zhu Gangguan has been smuggling and shooting horses for the past month, and his relationship with the monkey is not bad.

After passing through Futu Mountain, I walked for some more time.

Tang Seng often recites the "Duo Heart Sutra" every day, and a little spiritual light is clear, as if it is a supernatural one. Looking at Sun Monkey again, after Zhu Gangguan's boasting and coaxing, Sun Monkey finally turned from a short appearance of four feet tall to a sixteen-foot tall monkey head, which is closer to the domineering appearance of "Brother Monkey" in Zhu Gangguan's heart, which makes Sun Monkey even more proud.

Passing through a village, Tang Seng led the two of them to Huazhai, but the family trembled and shouted monsters.

Sun Monkey was about to get angry, and Zhu Gangguan hurriedly went up: "Don't misunderstand, we are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East and went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures." Passing by here, I want to have some fasting and spend the night by the way. ”

Seeing that Zhu Gangguan understood etiquette, Tang Seng nodded secretly, very satisfied.

"So that's the case, but if you want to go west to learn the scriptures, it's difficult" Tang Seng clasped his hands together and asked: "Donor, why is this?"

An old man in the middle said: "It is difficult to get it, but thirty miles west of this place, there is a mountain, called the eight hundred miles of Huangfeng Ridge, and there are many monsters in that mountain, so it is impossible to go." ”

"Hehe" Sun Monkey smiled and startled several people back two steps. "What kind of monster, didn't you bump into me! There is my old grandson and this junior brother here, no matter what monster he is, he will never come back!"

"Lei Lei Gong!" One person pointed at Sun Monkey and shouted, so angry that the hair on the monkey's head suddenly rose, and Zhu Gangguan hurriedly stopped him and said a few words of reassurance. "Wukong must not be rude. Tang Seng spoke, only then did he suppress the monkey, discuss with the few people in front of him, and then went to the old man's house and enjoyed some fasting meals.

At dawn the next day, the three masters and apprentices set off.

In less than half a day, the three of them came to the Yellow Wind Ridge, the mountain is steep, the demonic spirit is soaring, and jackals, tigers and leopards are everywhere. The three of them entered the mountain, and suddenly a gust of wind blew, and under the hillside, a colorful tiger jumped out, so frightened that Tang Seng fell off the white horse and fell to the side of the road, almost scattered!

The corner of Bajie's eyes twitched, after being ruined by Brother Monkey, he was pitted by Tang Sanzang again! Isn't it just a tiger, looking at Tang Seng who scared him, he almost fart.

"Evil animal, where to go!" Zhu Gangguan knew that this was an opportunity for him to show himself in front of his master, and he raised the nine-toothed nail rake and smashed it towards the tiger. With Zhu Gangguan's means, not to mention that there is a tiger in front of him, it is a dragon, and Zhu Gangguan can also rake its head through!

But at this critical moment, the tiger actually grabbed it on his chest with his claws, pulled off a tiger skin, and was covered by Zhu Gang's mane under the rake, and he pounced.

But when he saw a monster covered in red, like a skinless demon, his fangs bulging out, he shouted at Zhu Gang: "Wait, I am the pioneer of the front road under the Yellow Wind King, where are you waiting for the monk to dare to hurt me?"
