[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

I immediately grabbed the little boy and asked, "Who else knows about Hui'an Xingzhe's coming here?"

Xiao Tong said: "No one knows about it. He's not a bad guy, so he doesn't need to be notified. He's been here a lot these years, so no one cares about his comings and goings.

...What do you call too much?How many bad things did this brat do before I knew it?

I hurriedly told the little boy, "Remember, no matter what that sleazy monkey asks you, you must never tell him that Hui An has been here, remember?"

The little boy didn't know why, but of course he wanted to listen to what Guanyin said, so he nodded immediately.

I saw that Sun Wukong was still sweating profusely looking for the Dingfengzhu and Feilong Baozhang, and he would not notice me for a while, so he went to the South China Sea without looking back.

To commit crimes and commit crimes, Long Nu told me to keep an eye on Hui An, why didn't I listen?

As soon as I arrived in the South China Sea, I saw my apprentice sitting on the edge of the lotus pond, resting his chin on one hand, staring blankly at a certain place in the sky, completely unaware that I had returned.

When I got closer, he noticed me, moved his head reluctantly, respected me, nodded to me, and choked out a sentence: "Master." Then he turned his head back and continued to be in a daze up.

His attitude towards me was as if I was not his master, but a dog he raised. He was hungry, went out to look for food, and came back from a stroll. He nodded and signaled that he knew.

I really don't know what's going on in my apprentice's mind.

Sometimes I feel that he is prematurely aging. Although he is young, his eyes look different, as if he has experienced some great suffering; at other times, I feel that he has never grown up. Like a three-year-old child thinking about how to fight with others, these hundreds of years have been wasted.

I asked Hui An, "Where have you been these past two days? What did you take?"

Hui An rested his chin in a daze. Hearing what I said, he turned his head slowly, stared at me twice, and said blankly, "Didn't I tell Master all about it?"

I was so angry with him that I asked, "When did you tell me where you went? When did you report to me?"

Hui An said with a bored face: "Anyway, master, you know the past and the future. Is there anything you don't know about what I do? Before I do something, I will ask you. If you don't stop me, I will feel that you I acquiesced, and I did it, and I always ask you for instructions in advance wherever I go these two days, but you never told me not to do it."

???

You mean you are in a certain corner, and you mutter to yourself: "Master, I am going to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace." Can I know that you are going to wreak havoc in the Heavenly Palace?

You are really promising!

I found that my apprentice misunderstood my ability. Even if I knew the past and the future, I would not stare at him all the time. What does he think of me as a monitor?

Even if I stare, I also stare at Monkey King Sun Wukong to see if he has caused trouble, what am I staring at at Hui An!

I was completely defeated by his logic.

I said: "Hui An, although I am your master, I have always maintained that you have the right to do what you want when you grow up. I will not always watch what you do, then I will stand with you What's the difference between a villain who peeps at others through the crack of a door? But if I don't say anything, then am I the same as outsiders?"

Hui An was obviously taken aback, and after a while, he asked me, "Master doesn't know?"

I said: "I don't know."

He was a little disbelieving: "You don't know at all?"

I said, "If Sun Wukong hadn't gone to Lingji to ask for Feilong Baozhang and Dingfengzhu, who would have known that you took them?"

Hui An seemed to want something, opened his mouth, but still didn't make a sound.

I just stood there, looking at my strange apprentice by the lotus pond, with his disgusted expression still on his face, and I was thinking, Hui An and I have been with each other for hundreds of years, and I don’t even know him at all. Don't know him, he doesn't know me at all, how could it be like this?

I used to think that Li Tianwang was too strict as a father, and I, as a master, would not be so harsh on him. I thought that this way of upbringing would make him better, but who knew that my master was worse than Li Tianwang's father.

I wanted to get angry at him, but I didn't know where to start, so I could only say, "Where are the Dingfeng Pearl and Feilong Baozhang?"

Hui An said: "It's in the Treasure Pavilion in the South China Sea."

I wanted to educate him, but I was afraid that he would find me annoying, so I could only say: "Although I violated the precept once, I can no longer steal other people's things in the future. If you are willing to correct your mistakes, I will never blame you for this..."

Hui An was squatting on the edge of the lotus pond with his chin resting on his back, but when he heard this, he suddenly stood up and said, "I didn't steal it. I asked Lingji, and he agreed."

I said, "Nonsense, that Lingji fell asleep 500 years ago, why did you ask? How did he agree?"

Hui An wanted to argue with me, but after a long while, he just muttered, "You can ask me when you're asleep, anyway, he agreed."

...Didn't you ask him while he was fast asleep, "Lingji, I'm going to play with you housekeeper baby, do you agree or not?"

Then you feel that he is the same as me. In which corner did you say it to yourself, thinking that we knew it and didn't refute you, so you took it as a promise?

...Your way of thinking is also very domineering!

I said, "If you don't ask, you are stealing. Don't do this kind of thing in the future. I'm not blaming you. I'm just telling you. It's my master who didn't make it clear. Don't do it in the future."

I thought I was very kind when I said that, but Hui An still stared at me motionlessly, trying to say something, but didn't say anything.He has a strange temper, and he refuses to say what he decides not to say, even if he dies.

We stared blankly for a while, then he suddenly said, "If you follow your logic, Master, then I have also committed a crime against killing and lust, so you can punish me."

...? ? ?

I originally thought it would be a big blow to me if he stole something, but before I could recover, he said that he also committed murder, sex, sex, and sex?

When did it happen! !

I asked him in astonishment, "What precept did you say you violated?"

Hui An looked at me without moving, and said word by word: "Killing, lust, greed, everything that can be committed, if this is the case, why don't you send me to the lower realm to become a monster?"

I clutched my little heart, almost passed out, and supported a tree and said: "It's okay, it's okay, you tell who you killed first, and Master will help you hide the body before you talk..."

Hui An: "..."

Humans are not grass and trees, no one can be ruthless, he is my apprentice, it is my fault for not teaching well, I will bear any punishment for him--I can assure you, whether it is Xitian or Tianting, I am definitely not the only one who is partial, Besides, although he works in my Western Paradise, he is a member of the Heavenly Court. You must know that their law is: if the Jade Emperor is happy, it is right to slaughter the city, but if the Jade Emperor is unhappy, it is wrong to drink cold water.

I supported the tree trunk and finally stood firm, and said to him: "No matter what you have done before, as long as your master and I are still alive, no one will try to drive you into the world to become a monster. But we must discuss this matter clearly. We have to talk about it now, I have to get your weirdness back—"

Before I could wait for him to open his mouth, I felt a sudden chill all over my body, as if I had fallen to the nine heavens, and then there was a buzzing in my ears, and I heard the little monk crying: "Sister Guanyin, come and save me! The monster will be gone soon!" It's going to eat me!"

...Then you feed him!

However, the voice kept ringing like an alarm bell, which made me feel uncomfortable: "Sister Guanyin, I am going to die!"

...Then you are dying!If you die, no one will bother me!

I really owed this golden cicada in my previous life to make him bother me so much in this life. When he was still in Xitian, he was exposed to rain and dew anyway. That annoying energy made everyone annoyed. Now it’s good, just remember me , just annoy me, it's endless.

So what can I do, really watch him die?

No, I just scolded him in my heart, and cursed him to die sooner by the way.When it was time to save him, he still had to drop everything to save him.

I could only say to Hui An: "You stay here first, I'll come back after I've settled the mess with Sun Wukong and his master. You honestly stay here in Nanhai and are not allowed to go anywhere, do you understand?"

Hui An didn't speak, and slowly squatted back to the edge of the lotus pond, holding a stick in his hand, playing with the lotus leaves in the pond.

I said, "I'll be back right away, you wait for me here, and after I save Tang Seng and come back, we'll clarify all the issues."

Sometimes I feel like knowing the past and the future is like a curse to me.Sometimes I wish I didn't know, but when the time comes, I wish I knew, even though I know that once I know the ending, I can never change it.

So I often deceive myself, don't look at or listen to the doomed fate, thinking that I can escape the cycle of cause and effect.

But I often regret what happened on that day, and I always think: If I knew at that time that Hui An would disappear from now on, I would naturally not care about Xuanzang's life and death, anyway, he is such a clumsy person. , usually life is very big.

But I'm used to it, I'm used to my apprentice waiting for me in the South China Sea for hundreds of years, I don't know when he changed, he is no longer the kid who smiled and jumped behind me , something changed him, just like something changed me back then, but I, as a master, don't quite understand it.

I have always vaguely known what he was disappointed with, his father, or the environment he grew up in, or the Buddhas of the Western Heaven, or even me.

But I don’t know where else Hui’an can go besides Nanhai or Tianting, so I always feel that when a child grows up, disappointment is inevitable. After all, the world is like this. It's all a puddle of mud, this world is rotten to the core, whoever came to this world full of enthusiasm, but left extremely disappointed, leaving a puddle of cold blood slowly rotting in the soil.

From then on when I told him to wait for me obediently in South China Sea, I never saw my apprentice who was always secretly talking about driving him out of the master school for three full years.

But at that time, I knew nothing about it. I just hurried to the Treasure Pavilion to get the Wind Bead and the Flying Dragon Staff, and hurried back to Mount Sumeru. There was a sound of crackling and smashing things, and I didn't know well, so I hurried inside.

I only heard Sun Wukong roar: "You Bodhisattva, the Tathagata asked you to detain that monster, but you neglected your duty and slept in this mountain! I think you are a monster and cannibal, and now you don't want to save my master! What is it? Liar!"

This splashing monkey, one can't stand it and makes trouble.

It was no wonder that Lingji didn't know him either, so he might have looked down upon his origin as a goblin and said something nasty to embarrass him.That Pohou is not the master who can bear his anger, he is probably not happy after Lingji choked on a few words.

"Well, you Lingji! If you can't bring out the treasure that suppresses monsters today, I will smash your villa and capture your apprentices, boys, and gatekeepers one by one and bury them with my master!"
