Journey to the West: Moral Heaven

Rulai felt uneasy in his heart, waved his hands and said: "Last time, Guanyin sent him to be branded by the kingdom of Shravasti, and left him to fend for himself. Unexpectedly, he brought out the seal of the king of Shravasti. It was a blessing in disguise. The way of heaven controls everything. How can a person be simple, a mere golden hoop may not be able to restrain him, it is better not to open the underworld, I have made my own decision on this matter, I can leave Buddhism out of it, you don't have to worry about it."

Shu knew in his heart that Tathagata aimed at Chen E mainly because of Jin Chanzi's [-]th generation Yuanyang being corrupted. Now that his intention was set, he didn't persuade him any more, but just shouted the Buddha's name.

-------------Chapter Dividing Line---------------

Fifteen days later, Thorny Ridge was already in front of my eyes, but I saw thorny forks and weeds on the ridge. Although there were traces of the road, there were thorns and needles on the left and right.

Xiaoe cried bitterly: "Father, there are road marks on the bottom and thorns on the top. Only snakes and insects swim on the ground. If people walk, it is difficult to stretch their waists. How can I ride a horse?"

Chen E turned her head and said, "Bajie has rough skin and thick flesh, he is not afraid of thorns, so leave it to Bajie."

Bajie grinned and said: "Master, don't worry, when I use the palladium firewood to separate the nails and palladium from the thorns, let alone ride a horse, I will also carry a sedan chair for you."

As he spoke, he made a tactic, recited a mantra, bowed his waist, and made a long cry, and his body grew to a height of twenty feet. Then he shook the nail palladium, and the cry changed, and the sound changed to a length of thirty feet. palladium handle.

He intentionally showed off in front of Chen E, pulled away a step, and using palladium with both hands, he hugged the thorns left and right.

"Father, let's follow!"

Xiaoe was overjoyed, and greeted Chen E, led the horse and followed closely, followed by the sand monk carrying the luggage, and the traveler pushed the iron bar aside, and walked for a full day, covering a hundred miles, and the next day at night, he saw a piece of it. In the open place, there is a stone tablet on the road, with three big characters on it, Thorn Ridge, and two lines of fourteen small characters on the bottom.

Bajie laughed loudly and said: "Wait for my old pig to add a few words to him, from now on Bajie will be able to break through, and the west road will be completely flat!"

Xiaoe said happily: "Apprentice, are you tired? We have stayed here for tonight, and we will leave tomorrow."

Bajie said: "Master, don't stay here. While the weather is clear and we are interested, let's hug his mother all night and walk away!"

After walking for another day and night, the sky darkened again, the front was shaggy, and there was an open space with an ancient temple in the middle.Outside the temple gate, there are green pines and cypresses, and beautiful peaches and plums.

Wukong glanced at Chen E and said, "This place is not good for sitting for a long time."

Sand Monk puzzled and said: "Brother, I'm suspicious. It seems that there are no monsters or monsters in this deserted place. Why are you afraid of him?"

As soon as the words were said, there was a sudden gust of wind, and an old man turned out from behind the temple gate, wearing a horn scarf, wearing light clothes, holding a cane, and wearing straw sandals, followed by a blue-faced, long-toothed, red-bearded and naked ghost emissary. , put a plate of bread on his head, knelt down and said: "Great Sage, the little god is the land of Thorn Ridge. Knowing that the Great Sage is here, I specially prepare a plate of steamed cakes, and present it to the teacher, and each invites a meal."

Bajie was overjoyed and wanted to take the cake.

But Wukong shouted: "Come on, this guy is not a good person, don't be rude, what kind of land are you, come here to deceive the old grandson, look at the stick!"

Seeing that he was calling, the old man turned around and turned into a dark wind. With a cry, Chen E felt a suction force covering him, and his body was about to rise from the ground.

Lying on the grass!

Is this old ghost blind?

Photographing himself is obviously arresting someone.

However, Chen E didn't struggle, and simply dispersed the immortal essence, allowing her to be captured, and disappeared in a blink of an eye.

"Master, your father was taken away by a goblin!"

Drifting shouted.

Bajie yelled like a Drifting Monk at the top of his voice, "Brother, Master's father has been taken away by the goblin!"

Xiaoe cast a sharp glance at the past, and then asked: "Wukong, father is gone, what should I do?"

Wukong said to himself, "Okay, take it away," he said with a smile: "Master, don't worry, Chen Zhuangyuan's magic power is profound, and he will be fine."

Xiaoe's face sank and she said, "Then I have to get it back!"

"Yes, yes, my old grandson will go find it now!"

Wukong was overjoyed, he gave Bajie and Drifting a wink, and the three of them looked for it in the distance.

At the same time, the old man and the ghost envoy carried Chen E to a smoky stone house, put them down gently, and said hand in hand, "Don't be afraid, holy monk, we are not villains, but the Eighteenth Duke of Jingji Ridge. In the evening, I invite you to come to meet friends and talk about poetry, to amuse your old ears."

Looking at it from Chen E, the place is surrounded by fairy mist, green bamboos and flowers are planted all over, it is indeed a wonderful scene of a fairy house, at this time three old men came to meet them, the first one is frosty, the second one is green, and the third one is modest. Dai color, appearance, clothes are all different.

"This is"

Chen E took a closer look, and found that they were all at the level of the Ninth Immortals, their cultivation was very low, and their merits and virtues were only a thin layer of white light, showing that they were neither doing good nor evil, which is a typical feature of living in seclusion.

Chen E had an idea in mind, and looked at Shiba Gong with a questioning look.

The Eighteenth Duke laughed and said: "The holy monk who is good at teaching has learned that the one with the frosty posture is called Guzhigong, the one with green temples is called Lingkongzi, the one with a modest heart is called Fuyunsou, and the old clumsy one is called Jinjie."

Immediately, the four elders saluted together: "We are lucky enough to take over the stage, and dare to ask for great teachings. I hope that I can teach you a thing or two with the Zen method, which will be enough to comfort my life."

Chen E said coldly: "There is no real Zen method in this world. The Buddha taught people to be pure, but Buddhism itself is not pure. All kinds of calculations, scheming and fighting, how is it different from ordinary people in the world?"

"Oh?"

Ling Kongzi was surprised: "It turns out that Buddhism is so unbearable in the eyes of the holy monk. Why does the holy monk still want to enter the Buddhist school?"

Chen E smiled slightly: "You have grabbed the wrong person, my name is Chen E, and I am the father of the holy monk in your mouth."

"This"

The four elders looked at each other.

Ling Kongzi couldn't help scolding: "Old man Jinjie, what's the matter with you, you can even invite the wrong person?"

Mr. Gu Zhi also said: "Yes, yes, one has hair and the other has a bald head, so conspicuous that you can't see it? You mistake Feng Jing for Ma Liang!"

The eighteenth man said angrily: "Wukong was there at the time, how dare I stay longer, besides, the two of them look very similar, and this one is far away from Wukong, so I just rolled it up for convenience, but who would have thought that it would be wrong?" Otherwise, I will send him back and invite Master Xuanzang.”

Fuyun old man said: "You want to die, how could Wukong not be vigilant once once, and will let you come again?"

Hearing these words, Chen E had a slight fondness for these tree spirits, and laughed, "It's better to meet each other than to meet by chance, and to meet by chance is fate. Four fellow Taoists, Mr. Chen is destined for you!"

"Yes, yes, yes, there is a destiny, indeed there is a destiny!"

The Eighteenth Duke followed Chen E's words and said with an embarrassed smile: "The holy monk was not invited, and the father who invited the holy monk is the same, but the little old man has something to understand. Hearing what Mr. Out of disdain, then why did you send your beloved son into Buddhism?"

Chen E waved her hand: "It's one thing to hate, the world is bustling with people, and it's all for profit. My son entered Buddhism, got the scriptures, and became a Buddha in one step. Where can I find such good things?"

"you"

The four elders were dumbfounded, and they all showed disdain.

Ling Kongzi even said: "I came to see you as a good-looking talent, but I didn't expect you to be vulgar, that's all, it's too much to say, please go back."

In fact, Xiao E's entry into Buddhism was not at all what Chen E said, she was forced to do so, but her family ugliness could not be publicized. As a man, Chen E would rather pollute herself than reveal the scandal to outsiders.

At this time, he snorted and said: "I think you have stayed in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time, and you don't even know the dangers of human affairs. Let me tell you, as long as I leave with my front feet, you will be in disaster!"

"We have nothing to do with the world, and we never harm anyone. There will be no catastrophe, so don't scare me!"
