Bajie carried the burden and walked at the back of the line, he said: "Master, don't be afraid, this mountain is called Futu Mountain, and there is a practicing Wuchao Zen master in the mountain, and the Tao is always good." He once came to me in the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain and asked me to practice with him and pass on my skills, but I didn't agree to him. ”

Sanzang said: "Oh, it turns out that this mountain is inhabited by great power, but I want Bajie to introduce you!"

The monkey didn't think so, and the black charcoal also looked at the sky with a disdainful face. The master and apprentice went up the mountain, sure enough, the scenery in the mountain is picturesque, the cranes and deer are in groups, the strange flowers and plants compete for the strange and beautiful, the green water of the mountain stream is crystal clear, the auspicious clouds are floating up and down the mountain rocks, and there is a fairy atmosphere.

Sanzang saw a huge tree in front of him, there was a black bird's nest, there were elk mountain monkeys frolicking below, and there were cranes and green luans singing, and he was looking at it with a pleasant heart, Bajie picked up with his burden, and said breathlessly: "Master, the front is Wuchao Zen Master." ”

Sanzang hurriedly stepped forward, and the dragon horse climbed the mountain and waded like walking on the ground, and came to the tree in the blink of an eye. In the bird's nest on the tree, a person jumped down, the fairy wind bone, the crane hair and the childish face, Sanzang saw it, felt very familiar, but never thought of where it was with this Zen master, doubts, saw the Zen master greeted him, and hurriedly saluted.

The Zen master smiled and said, "The holy monk has come from afar, and he has never greeted him from afar, and he is disrespectful and disrespectful!"

Bajie put down his burden and said, "Old Zen Master, Bajie is here to do something. ”

When the Zen master saw Bajie, he was stunned and smiled: "You are a pig gang from the Yunzhan Cave of Fuling Mountain, how did you get this great fate and become the apprentice of the holy monk?"

Bajie said: "Hui Zen Master, I was persuaded by Guanyin Bodhisattva to be good, so I worshipped Master Sanzang as a teacher, became an apprentice with him, and went to the West Heaven to learn scriptures in order to achieve positive results. ”

The Zen master smiled and said, "Okay, Zhu Ganghuan, I have come to persuade you to practice with me, but you are still unwilling, it turns out that there is a greater creation waiting for you." He looked at the monkey on his toes and said, "Who is this?"

The monkey said, "You old man, you know the pig Ganghuan, but you don't know me Monkey King?

Sanzang hurriedly said: "Zen master is not strange, this is my big apprentice, his personality is conflicting, his eyes are above the top, but he is a good person with a true temperament." ”

The Zen master smiled: "It turned out to be the Monkey King, disrespectful and disrespectful, I'm sorry I'm lonely, today is indeed the first time I've heard of the prestige of the Great Sage." ”

The monkey snorted coldly: "Five hundred years ago, I made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, full of gods and Buddhas, who hasn't heard of my name?"

The Zen master said: "Great Sage, I'm really sorry, I just happened to be in retreat for more than 500 years, in order to understand a truth, I only recently realized the passage of reasoning, I really don't know the heroic deeds of the Great Sage in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago. ”

The monkey sneered: "Zen master, you have to retreat for five hundred years for the sake of a kind of Laoshzi's teachings. ”

Hei Tan also smiled: "Zen master, don't blow the atmosphere, so make a mystery and bluff my master." ”

The Zen master smiled at Sanzang and said, "Holy monk, who is this?"

Sanzang hurriedly said: "Zen master, this is my third apprentice, the Dharma name is Wuzhen." ”

The Zen master nodded lightly and said to Sanzang: "Holy monk, you and I have a fate, I have a volume of the Heart Sutra that took me five hundred years to understand, and I want to teach it to the holy monk, I don't know if the holy monk is willing to learn?"

Sanzang was overjoyed and said: "Thank you for the great kindness of the Zen master, all the true scriptures, Sanzang goes to the soup and fire, and I don't want to die, but I am willing to learn." ”

The monkey said, "Oh, old man, don't deceive my master. Pretend to be a ghost, and watch me break your tricks. He took out a golden rod from his ear, shook it, and struck it at the giant tree where the old Zen master lived. Suddenly, the thousands of branches of the giant tree were flooded with golden flowers, layer upon layer, endless, and easily blocked the golden hoop rod.

The monkey was furious and shouted, and the golden rod became extremely large, thousands of zhang long, and with a fierce stick, it was going to break the giant tree by the roots. But seeing that the Zen master smiled slightly, gently held Sanzang's hand, and the two walked out of thin air, step by step in the void towards the bird's nest on the giant tree. No matter how the monkey's golden hoop rod changed and swept across, countless golden flowers bloomed one by one, wrapping the golden hoop stick, and it was difficult for the golden hoop rod to get close to the giant tree.

Seeing this weirdness, Black Tan stretched out his hand, the black tassel gun was in his hand, the gun shook, and thousands of black tassel guns were densely packed, and each gun was pointed at a golden flower. The golden flower suddenly disappeared, and the thousands of branches of the giant tree suddenly danced and danced densely, blocking thousands of black tassel spears and golden hoop rods from the tree.

The black charcoal and the monkey used all their might, and the black tasseled spear and golden hoop rod turned into a black lightning bolt and a golden light, rushing left and right, stabbing up and down, but they could not even break through the soft branches of the giant tree, but were whistling and pumping by countless branches, forcing them to retreat.

On the Wuchao tree, Sanzang shouted: "Wukong Wuzhen, don't be rude." ”

The monkey said, "Master, be careful that the Zen master is not a good person. ”

Bajie said: "Senior brother, this Zen master is a high-ranking monk, I know it, and it will not harm the master's life." ”

The monkey said angrily: "Old man, you giant tree is strange, don't use branches, dare to fight me." ”

The Zen master smiled and said, "Great Sage, Wuzhen, as long as you two withdraw three miles away, my branches will naturally not whip you again." ”

As he spoke, the monkey and the black charcoal had been forced out of the branches for several miles, and sure enough, the thousands of branches stood upright, like thousands of bows and arrows waiting to be fired, and like thousands of small silver snakes with aura, aimed at the monkey and black charcoal. The two of them made any movement, and the tip of the tree pointed at them, as if it had opened its eyes and stared at them.

No matter how the monkey and the black charcoal changed their moves, it was always difficult to break through the defense of the tree, and the two of them couldn't get close to the giant tree at all.

On the tree, the Zen master smiled and said, "Holy monk, these two apprentices of yours are not easy to do. That monkey was forbidden by someone in his body, and his supernatural powers took out one point out of a hundred. The black bear also has a great background, and the stone door ring on his finger is a supreme weapon. One day, if the two of them break free from the shackles and realize their supernatural powers, I will not be their opponent. ”

Sanzang clasped his hands together: "Please ask the Zen master to guide my two rude disciples, and also ask the Zen master to open the way for Sanzang." ”

The Zen master smiled and said, "Holy monk, I have a volume of the Heart Sutra, fifty-four sentences, two hundred and seventy words, and I will teach it to you now." This is the general sutra of cultivating the truth and the method of becoming a Buddha, so you must remember it and comprehend it with your heart. ”

Sanzang hurriedly thanked him! The feeling that the Zen master had given him acquaintance became stronger and stronger, as if as long as he tried hard to think about it, he would be able to break through his memory and remember the past between him and the Zen master.

The Zen master recited: "Contemplating the Bodhisattva of Freedom, walking deep Prajnaparamita – color is emptiness, emptiness is color." The same is true of what you want to do. Relics, the emptiness of all dharmas, unborn and imperishable, unfilthy and impure—"

The Sanzang Master was originally a person with wisdom roots, and after listening to the Zen master recite it once, he firmly remembered it and realized it in his heart.

Sanzang obtained the cultivation of the true scriptures and became a Buddha. With a slight wave of his hand, the Zen master sent Sanzang down to the ground. Those thousands of tree branches that were extremely dexterous, when they saw Sanzang, they avoided them one after another, and the tips of the branches bowed and nodded to Sanzang in unison, as if a layman saluted.

The words of the Zen master sounded faintly: "Holy monk, on the way of cultivation, but encountering a demon obstacle, reciting this true scripture, the demon obstacle snow disappears." ”

Sanzang's heart was moved, and Lang Sheng said: "Zen master, are you and I old acquaintances?"
