Tang Seng is a cook

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha had been sitting upright for a whole day on the Lingxiao Temple in the Heavenly Court. They were immortal and Buddha bodies, but they were not tired, but they couldn't look at the water mirror for a long time, which was a bit boring.

Ever since the Red Leaf Patriarch appeared and covered Tang Monk and his disciples with auspicious clouds, the two of them basically couldn't see anything around these people, they could only pass the time by looking at the little fairies around them.

Even though the red leaf ancestor left and the auspicious clouds gradually dispersed, the Jade Emperor and Tathagata couldn't see Tang Seng's affairs clearly. They only thought that the Hongye ancestor had set some restrictions on Tang Sanzang, but they didn't have too much suspicion .

Neither of them could have imagined that Zhuang Fan, a lonely soul from another world, would have such a great opportunity to regain his past life memories quietly.

Even if Maitreya Ksitigarbha knows something, but the two of them, one who has never seen Buddha recently, and the other, are not the talkative people.

In addition, Guanyin and Bodhi, who knew the inside story, were all golden cicadas, so they were naturally tight-lipped and never revealed a word.

Unable to see anything, and not daring to let go, Jade Emperor and Buddha were very depressed. They didn't watch songs, dances, or eat snacks, and sat face to face in a daze.

The Jade Emperor pushed aside the clouds and saw that the Huanghua Temple was empty, sighed, sat back and leaned on his cheeks, his face full of gloom.

The Buddha looked at him and laughed, and said: "Why, you robbed the bathing pool of the seven fairies to make room for the goblin, and now seeing the goblin is timid, she ran away in fright and did not trouble Tang Sanzang, are you unhappy? "

The Jade Emperor sighed and said: "This time I didn't get any benefit..."

Li Shan's old mother was busy teaching her apprentices, she didn't come out to warn Tang Seng, saying it was unnecessary.

And Granny Pilan, before her son Pleiades Star Official came out, she took the centipede essence.

Even the seven spider spirits escaped unharmed.

There is only heaven, nothing is done, nothing is done.

Not reconciled.

Hearing this, the Buddha also sighed, and said: "What is this? I move forward slightly, and I always feel that in the future, whether we are your people or mine, we will not get any benefits."

The Buddha sat there, patted his knees, stood up with an oops, and said, "Forget it, anyway, there are people from you and me in the westward team. When the matter is over, we can finally gain merit and virtue." That's it."

He took two steps forward and sighed: "I finally understand. People say that people are not as good as the sky, but I see that I am not as good as the sky. You, the leader of the heaven, don't work!"

The Jade Emperor saw him going out, and said quickly: "Why? This is not over yet!"

The Buddha sighed again, and said: "Go back to Lingshan, that Dapeng is going to make trouble again. Before I started westward, I didn't stop him from committing crimes in the lower realm. I won't wait for that Monkey King at Lingshan to find me to stand up for Tang Sanzang. , I'm afraid that Dapeng is really going to make a catastrophe."

Once Tang Sanzang died, the westward trip failed, and they were all finished.

The Jade Emperor hurriedly called him: "Okay, okay, don't go! Who doesn't know that you are here, the monkey came just now, didn't see you! Be careful, he will look for you here later, and then go astray Already!"

The Buddha was stunned for a moment, then slapped his forehead and said, "I'm so stupid!"

I had to sit back and sigh with the Jade Emperor.

In the fairy pond, the Queen Mother was taking a bath when suddenly a little maid came to report: "Madam, I heard that Tang Sanzang took his disciples to the Zhuogou Spring and stayed there overnight, frightening the seven little fairies in the lower realm. I ran away without even seeing each other!"

The Queen Mother lazily got up from the water, glanced slightly at the phoenix eyes, and said with a soft smile: "Then what did Tang Sanzang do in the lower realm, to have such a reputation that he scared people away without even beating them?"

Gong'e frowned and said: "This maidservant doesn't know about it, His Majesty and Buddha didn't mention this!"

The Queen Mother lay on the white jade steps, snorted coldly and said: "It's just that they made up some rumors for others, and poured a basin of dirty water down. Back then, that little monkey, Wukong, made trouble in the Heavenly Palace. But now that I’ve walked around the world, I didn’t say that the other goblins ran away in fright!”

Gong'e happily said: "Not to mention, those seven little goblins are scared away, sister Seven Fairy can continue to play in Zhuogou Spring."

The Queen Mother stretched out her hand, flicked a drop of water on her, and said with a smile, "What's the matter, do you want to go down and play too?"

The maid hurriedly shook her head, and said: "I won't go, the goblins below are grotesque and ugly, and mortals are also dirty, and they smell like a human before they get close, so I won't go."

The Queen Mother laughed and said, "If you don't go, then don't go."

That Gong'e said: "Your Majesty, should I tell Sister Seven Fairy about this?"

The Queen Mother lazily said: "It doesn't matter if you say it or not, I will look at those few, and I won't go there in the future."

The little Gong'e opened her eyes wide, and wondered: "Why, after finally finding a place to play, the goblin scared away, and Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice also left. Take a good look at the spring water, it would be a pity not to go again."

The Queen Mother asked her, "If your clothes are worn by other strange women and men, would you still want them?"

The little Gong'e immediately understood, shuddered, and waved her hands again and again: "No, forget it!"

The Queen Mother poked her forehead and said angrily, "Elf ghost!"

The little Gong'e smiled and talked about other things with the Queen Mother. After a while, she helped the Queen Mother to get up again, and the two changed the topic.

At the Lingxiao Temple, although Tang Sanzang's figure could not be seen clearly, the traces of their master and apprentice could always be seen. The Jade Emperor was not reconciled after all, and he didn't use the water mirror. Don't let go of the journey.

After a while, he hurriedly called out: "Hey Tathagata, come and have a look, it's not right!"

The Tathagata was dozing off with his eyes closed, and the Jade Emperor was startled. He opened his eyes and said, "What's the matter? Is it your heaven that has collapsed or my spiritual mountain?"

The Jade Emperor poohed him and said, "Pah, pei! Crow's mouth! What nonsense! You come over and take a look, why do I see this Tang monk and his disciple wandering away?"

The Buddha lazily leaned over and looked down through the clouds together. Seeing Tang Monk and his disciples heading straight to the west, he said, "Where is the deviation? This is not going west."

He nodded at the destination and said, "Isn't this destination exactly my Lingshan?"

The Jade Emperor clapped his hands and said, "Oh, you can't pull the thread that far!"

With a wave of his sleeves, he closed the clouds, opened the water mirror, and said, "Look here, they were supposed to start from Huanghua Temple, and the next stop was Shituoling Shituo Cave, just in time to meet Puxian and Manjusri. The mount and your uncle Dapeng, but you see, now they set off from Zhuogou Spring and swayed for several miles, and if they go forward, they also avoid Shituoling!"

The Buddha then said: "Well, it's a few miles away. Why do you worry about it? Tang Sanzang traveled all the way west. Whenever he encountered a mountain, a ridge, or a river, which one didn't start at [-] miles, wide and long? , It’s all eight hundred miles, it’s hard to avoid, and it’s sad to pass, you are so worried.”

The Jade Emperor said with a groan: "If they didn't deviate, they would just pass by the lion camel ridge, not in the middle, but you can see for yourself, Tang Seng led his disciples to the nearby Zhuogou Spring for three miles. Go, we are avoiding Shituoling!"

The Buddha didn't believe it, so he leaned over to have a look, and he groaned, no, he saw that Tang Sanzang's master and disciples were heading westward in a straight line, passing by the edge of Shituo Ridge. Lion Camel City, located in the west center of Lingzheng, will be four hundred miles away when Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice pass by!

The Jade Emperor and the Buddha looked at each other in blank dismay. No one knew how the master and disciples were so coincidental that they deviated from the road like this.

The Jade Emperor pondered for a long time, and said, "Why don't you send Guanyin to lead them back?"

The Buddha said: "Can it be done? Is this too deliberate?"

The Buddha thought for a while, then hesitated and said, "Why don't we just forget about this level?"

The Jade Emperor said: "You should think about it. This is a good opportunity for you to save Tang Monk and his disciples. The last time Liu Er was subdued by Tang Sanzang, it was nothing to you. If you miss it this time, next time there will be another one." If there is no chance, it is hard to say!"

The Buddha sighed and said, "God's will, God's will is like this!"

Having said that, I finally sent a letter to Guanyin, telling him to stop Tang Monk and his disciples and bring them back to the right path.

Avalokitesvara also came quickly, met the Jade Emperor Buddha at the Lingxiao Palace, gave a salute, and the Buddha wondered: "Why didn't you go?"

Avalokitesvara said: "Buddha, my disciples are thinking about it. It will probably waste time to go this way. I always worry about it. Anyway, I just want the Buddha to make a move. Why don't you ask Manjusri and Puxian to bring back their mounts?" Right? It can save a little trouble, it's a little trouble!"

The Buddha praised and said, "Avalokitesvara is still careful!"

He asked again, "Will Manjushri Puxian be willing?"

Avalokitesvara lowered her brows and eyes, she couldn't see the expression, and said calmly: "I am willing. The two of them thought that they took too much advantage, but it was not beautiful, so they came with the disciples. If the Buddha agrees, we The three of them went down and collected those two monsters, leaving only Dapeng to deal with the Buddha!"

The Buddha was very happy and said: "Okay, okay, it's hard for the three of you to have a heart, so let's go!"

Avalokitesvara performed the eleven rituals, left the Lingxiao Palace, and took Manjusri and Samantabhadra to the lower realm.

Seeing that these three Buddhist disciples knew the righteousness, the Buddha gave himself a lot of face, and couldn't help showing some color on his face.

The Jade Emperor also sighed: "If my Heavenly Court can be like your Lingshan Mountain, and everyone will not be greedy or occupy it, then I will really have peace of mind!"

The Buddha hurriedly said modestly: "Oh, it's all because of their self-cultivation, but I dare not take credit for it."

The Jade Emperor clicked his tongue and said: "I am used to being a good friend!"

The Buddha smiled slightly and ignored him. The two of them pushed aside the clouds and looked down.

Besides, Guanyin and Manjusri Puxian were three brothers in the previous life, and they are closer than others in private.

Now the three of them came to the Heavenly Court. Manjusri and Puxian were waiting outside. Seeing Guanyin coming out, they rushed up to greet him and asked, "Brother, can this be done? Can the Buddha respond?"

Guanyin sighed and said: "It's done, let's go, let's go down together, I'll go find Tang Sanzang and change the way, you two go and collect that mount!"

Manjusri said: "Brother, what you said is true? In my heart, I'm always not at ease!"

Guanyin said: "If you don't believe me, why are you here?"

Puxian hurriedly said: "Brother, if you don't believe me, we can't come either!"

Avalokitesvara sighed and said, "Last time, you made it difficult for Tang Sanzang several times. You just said Manjusri, and put down two of the horses. Although it was done by the Buddha's decree, it was said to help Tang Sanzang through ninety-nine and eighty-one disasters." , but in the end, how much merit did you gain?"

Manjusri and Puxian looked bitter, and said: "Oh, brother, you all know that there are no merits and virtues, and there is nothing! We both worked for nothing, saying that we have merits, and Mao didn't even look at it!"

Avalokitesvara said: "You two, be content. Look at Bodhisattva Lingji. Just because he let go of the yellow wind monster, he asked that guy to block Tang Sanzang's way. He caused a lot of trouble for their master and apprentice. Lightning strikes as a warning, as a punishment, what is the charge? Lack of strict discipline! Intentional indulgence! Obstructing the westward journey!"

Manjusri and Puxian were almost in tears, and heaven sent thunder to strike Lingji Bodhisattva. They were beside them, their livers trembling with fright!

Avalokitesvara sighed: "So, look at this time, Bodhisattva Lingji told the yellow wind monsters early on, telling them not to cause trouble for Tang Sanzang's master and disciple, and to pick them up and send them away properly. Everyone is smart. Why are you two still so stupid? You are just like you if you don’t repent!"

Pointing at Manjusri, he said: "Especially you, the last time the green lion went to the Wuji country to make trouble, it was the decree of the Buddha and he had to do it. Why are you so stupid, why don't you go earlier? It's okay to postpone it, if you have to." You drove Tang Monk passing by to make trouble, if in the end the Heavenly Dao betrays you, and you are lax and hinder your journey, what will you do?"

Manjusri made Guanyin tremble, and begged quickly: "Brother, I will listen to you this time, and do whatever you say!"

Guanyin was very helpless, and said: "Then what are you talking about, let's go!"

The three of them stepped on the lotus platform and came straight to Shituo Mountain.

Fortunately, the Jade Emperor discovered it early, no matter how fast the Tang monk and his disciples were, they were still three or two days away from the Lion Camel Mountain.

The three Bodhisattvas stood in the air, and Manjusri said: "Brother, there is the lion and camel mountain ahead. Brother, we two will catch the green lion and white elephant. Brother, you can lead the way!"

Avalokitesvara said: "Then you go yourself, just be careful, don't disturb the big roc, he is the brother of the Buddha's mother, with a fierce nature, I am afraid that only the Buddha can control him in this world, you two Hey, be careful not to get hurt by him!"

Manjusri and Puxian said: "Don't worry, brother, we both know, when the demon is taken away, shall we come to look for brother, or go to the South China Sea to wait for you?"

Avalokitesvara thought about it, it would be better to keep these two stupid brothers by her side for a few days, lest they leak the news out loud, and the Buddha and Jade Emperor would find out that something was wrong, so he said: "You go to the Purple Bamboo Forest first, I am here to attract Tang Sanzang. Lu, I have to go back to the Lingxiao Temple to report, if you come to me, I'm afraid you'll be in vain."

After hearing this, Manjusri and Puxian agreed, stepped on the lotus platform and went straight to Putuo Mountain, and went to collect the monsters without mentioning it.

Guanyin watched them go, sighed, landed on the lotus platform, and came in front of Tang monk and his disciples.

Zhuang Fan was leading his disciples on a snow sledge to ride horses and gallop across the huge snowy field when Wu You suddenly said, "Daddy, your chest is glowing again."

Wu You said this before, Zhuang Fan only thought that he was sleepy and talking in sleep, but this day, Wu You and Wu Wang are huddled beside him and having fun, it doesn't look like he is talking in sleep When Zhuang Fan heard this, he was surprised and quickly lowered his head to look.

Sure enough, the fluorescent lights on his chest were flickering, and there were thousands of auspicious colors. I don't know what was shining.

Seeing Zhuang Fan, he thought for a while, unbuttoned the collar on his chest, and took out the purse that he was wearing next to his body. He saw that it was indeed the light shining from the purse, warm and soft, bursting with rays of light.

Zhuang Fan smiled, but didn't open it, and took it back close to his body. Wu You was curious, and asked, "Daddy, what is it?"

Zhuang Fan pinched his chubby face and said, "It's a glass heart of Master."

After Wuyou heard this, he was not curious anymore. He is the third prince Li Jing, a disciple of Daoist Taiyi. His family was rich since he was a child, and his master doted on him. As for the fuss.

Except for Wu Wang, the other two apprentices have no idea about gold, silver and jewelry, and Wu Wang has seen it a lot, so he didn't pay attention.

Only Zhuang Fan knew that perhaps it was Guanyin who came, and it was near here, and the glazed heart was drawn by the air mechanism, so it was shining brightly.

Zhuang Fan thought to himself, he hadn't noticed it before, and if Guanyin wanted to surprise him from now on, it would be extremely difficult.

Sure enough, after a while, Wukong said: "Master, there is an auspicious cloud above, following us for a long time, I don't know which fairy is it, what should we do? Shall we stop or continue walking?"

Zhuang Fan knew that Avalokitesvara was thin-skinned, if he didn't come down directly at this time, he must wait for a private meeting with him after dark, so he calmly said: "Don't worry about it, let's go straight, but I'm afraid there will be some twists and turns ahead, so walk slowly. It's already mid-afternoon, let's find a place to camp earlier! No matter what, safety comes first!"

His little Avalokitesvara was always flying in the sky, and he was tired, so he had no choice but to use his power for personal gain.

Wukong agreed yes, led Bajie, drove the caramel cake together, and told the horse to slow down and stop galloping. It was getting dark, so he found a small hill, set up a tent on the leeward side, and set up camp.

Zhuang Fan waited for it to get dark, but felt that the sun was setting very slowly, so Bajie said: "The sun is setting earlier every day." Go down and don't show your head again.

Zhuang Fan secretly calmed down, cooked the food step by step, led the children to eat, and took them to play for a while after the meal, and it dissipated. Finally, it was dark and the children were yawning from sleepiness, so he chased them away go to bed.

Wu Wang and Ba Jie had already slept soundly with their heads stuck in the bed, only Wu You was mischievous and had slept in Zhuang Fan's arms during the day, and was still not sleepy at this time, pestering Zhuang Fan and wanted to play again.

After all, the monkey is the smartest. Seeing that the master has been looking at the place of auspicious clouds since he set up camp, and almost cooked the dishes, he knew that the master was sure to have something to do again, so he quickly hugged the little brother and said: "Wu You Ah, my brother's back hurts, come and help me beat it!"

Wuyou quickly clenched his small fists and beat Wukong on the back. He beat the monkey so hard that his teeth were grinning, and he pouted at Zhuang Fan, which meant that he was not going away.

Zhuang Fan blushed, covered his mouth with his fist, coughed, and slipped away quietly.

The monkey asked the junior brother to beat him with his fists until he moaned and said to himself, for the sake of Master, I have really suffered an old crime!

It's just that I don't know who the master sees, hehe, there must be something hidden!

After thinking wildly for a while, his eyes sank and he fell asleep.

Only Wuyou was left there, concentrating on beating the senior brother's back, like an old scalper beating for a long time, exhausted, and finally leaned on the monkey, and fell asleep.

The monkey dazedly carried the little junior into the bed, got up again and opened the curtain to take a look, the moon was shining in the sky, the snow field was vast, and there was no one there, he clicked his tongue twice, closed the curtain, got back into the bed and went to sleep again.

The first time is raw, the second time is acquainted, and the teacher who always sneaks out in the middle of the night, no one can do it.

Just say that Zhuang Fan left the tent, took out the little glazed heart, put it in the palm of his hand, guided along the light, lifted his inner energy slightly, stepped lightly onto the snowfield, turned around the small hill, and reached the place where the tent could not see, and he saw it. Guanyin was standing there quietly, looking up at the night sky, in a daze.

Zhuang Fan moved his fingers slightly, and quickly put away the glazed heart, so that Guanyin would not see it. He stepped on the ground and stepped forward. His feet creaked on the snow, which alarmed Guanyin, and turned to look at Zhuang Fan.

Guanyin was taken aback and said, "Why are you here?" He was still thinking about going to talk to him again in the middle of the night.

Zhuang Fan smiled and said: "My disciple is full of Bodhisattva, and Bodhisattva is in my heart. Bodhisattva is so close to me, how can I not know?"

Guanyin glared at him and said, "Stop talking, how did you find it? Could it be that Wukong told you?"

That's right, the monkey's eyes are golden, but he can see his real body. His auspicious cloud is dazzling, how can he not be exposed.

Zhuang Fan walked in, touched Guanyin's face, and said with a smile, "You don't need my apprentice to catch a little rabbit. He's gone to bed early, and the monk can take you in by himself."

Avalokitesvara slapped him and said angrily, "There's not a single good word out of my mouth!"

Zhuang Fan took Guanyin's hand and said softly, "Why did you come here? But you miss me again?"

Avalokitesvara stood there for a long time, feeling lazy, so she lazily leaned towards him and said slowly, "Master and disciples, you have gone astray. The Buddha called me to change your path."

Zhuang Fan was surprised when he heard this, he held Guanyin in his arms, and said, "Where did we go astray? Aren't we going straight to the west?"

Guanyin fell into Zhuang Fan's arms, and said lazily: "You have to go north and go to Shituo City. Although you don't need to go to Shituoling, Dapeng, you master and apprentice still need to meet for a while."

Zhuang Fan snorted coldly, and said: "There is no one who asks someone to automatically deliver it to the goblin to eat. Really, he is not guilty of saying this!"

Avalokitesvara sighed, and said: "I tried my best, but I just begged him to take away the green lion and white elephant. There was only one big roc left. You led the children to make a show, then called the Buddha to come and tell him to make a contribution." , forget it."

After waiting for a while, she whispered again: "Jin Chan, I'm sorry..."

Zhuang Fan smiled and comforted him: "It's not your fault, it's none of your business..."
