[Journey to the West] Jagged Tang San Burial

"Auntie, Auntie, is that what you call Auntie, Auntie!"

Yu Mei grabbed the eldest prince's tentacles, and she burst into tears, the two lion spirits next to him didn't dare to do anything wrong, and they didn't dare to step forward to block them, for fear that their beards would also be pulled off, so they had to Trembling and persuading: "Gu, aunt, please calm down, I will find out..."

"I know that there is a grandma, and the words have already been spoken. What should I do now? How will you explain it to the monk king? Tell yourself, my aunt is going to meet the Buddhist monk Tripitaka!"

Yu Mei let go of her hand, and the eldest prince fell to the ground with a thud, stroking the remaining beard on his face, Yu Mei straightened her robes, calmed down in front of the bronze mirror, forced out a benevolent smile, and strode out the door.

The princes transformed into three lion spirits waited carefully for her to go out, and then whispered together.

"What should I do now?"

"It's not good at all now. It's bad luck for our three brothers to mess with such an aunt! How else can we deal with it! Human flesh is still eaten! Do you want to give Sanzang to the ancestor?!"

"Send it, why don't you give it away... out of ten brothers, I won't give it away to three, I really want to make the other seven sneer until they lose their hair!"

"But now my aunt wants Sanzang by name, and I can't beat her..."

"Hey, brother, don't panic, think about it, that aunt, or that monk Sanzang, which one is better?"

The lion spirit elder brother and the second elder brother were at a loss for words, they couldn't think of which fierce spirit would be more annoying, so they had no choice but to slap the little lion first.

"You talk too much!"

"Go and try!"

Not far from the palace where they live is the imperial garden, and the centipede made trouble a few days ago, which caused some disasters, and they are sending skilled craftsmen to repair it.All the way, Yumei asked where the Taoist master lived. She was polite and polite, and she was wearing a monk's robe/cassock.

"Is it convenient for you, thank you so much, Amitabha."

A servant passing by the Royal Garden showed her the way, Yumei clasped her hands together, and saluted to thank her, the servant was really surprised, and hurriedly avoided, saying that the nobleman did not need it, Yumei still saluted her and left with a smile.

Several masters and apprentices were there in the posthouse, and the monkey went to investigate the situation of Jinmaohou again. The servant told Sanzang that it was His Highness Yumei from the neighboring Yuhua Kingdom, and wanted to see Master Sanzang.The eyes of several monsters in the room flicked and shot over, staring at the entrance, Sanzang didn't know what the visitor meant, so he said something, then please take the female benefactor in.

Bajie and other monsters have long been trained to be on guard against other monsters. For example, those who pretend to be beautiful women are obsessed with Sanzang. It was a girl named Tingting who showed up again, she was as graceful as the moon, with a fragrance of orchid musk deer, the disciples cheered up and waited for the monster to show its original shape.

It's just that this monster seems to be a bit unconventional and different. From east to west, the master and apprentice seem to have never seen a monster wearing a monk's robe/cassock, and they are still twisting Buddhist beads. I am afraid that Master Sanzang will save her. If you forget to bring a weapon, you will get one as a gift.Since the monkey's golden eyes were not there, since Bajie, he began to doubt his previous judgment.

"Perhaps I was confused by my brothers and sisters?"

He leaned back a little and muttered.

"Perhaps, after all, few monsters are so blatant."

Xiao Bailong judged.

"That's not the case. The most daring monsters I've ever seen are me and the others, talking about whether they are monsters in broad daylight."

Red Boy put his shoulders on his shoulders and interjected.

All the monsters were silent for a while, and threatened Xiao Bailong with their eyes instead. Xiao Bailong rolled his eyes at the air, pressed the head of the red boy with his backhand, and reprimanded in a low voice: "Talk too much!"

Sanzang didn't care about his apprentice whispering in that room, he was not afraid of monsters, so he stood up first.The two parties went through the process of performing Buddhist rituals to each other with great attention to etiquette, booing politely, and introducing each other.

"The poor monk is Sanzang. How dare I ask the female benefactor what is her name and what should she call her?"

Yumei: "Master Sanzang is polite. My Dharma name is so strong. I came here from Yuhua Kingdom this time because I heard the reputation of Master Sanzang for eliminating demons and subduing demons. Because I have been troubled for a long time, I want to ask the mage alone for help."

Bajie raised his elbow and bumped against the waist of the curtain: "She wants to talk to the master alone! Do you want to let me go?!"

The curtain took advantage of the situation and grabbed his wrist, and moved it out, "I haven't confirmed the evil spirit yet, just follow the master's wink."

Sanzang naturally nodded in agreement, and the two of them entered the room, while the remaining disciples clung to the crack of the door and eavesdropped, fearing that when the senior brother came back, he would see them release the female monsters in the same room with the master, and would be furious. Fight, but also blame them for not fulfilling their duty of care.

Seeing that Sanzang closed the door and sat cross-legged on the ground, the royal girl asked Sanzang to sit down too.The two looked at each other, and Yu Mei relaxed a little, showing a full smile.

"Master, I encountered something recently."

"please say."

"To tell you the truth, I live in the bottomless cave of the Sinking Mountain. I am actually a golden-nosed white-haired mouse spirit. 300 years ago, by fate, I swallowed the fragrant flowers and precious candles of the Tathagata Buddha. The Buddha spared my life and let me go back to the mountain. This For 300 years, because of my withdrawn personality and unwillingness to communicate with the outside world, I have been staying in the bottomless pit. I was safe and sound, but in the past few days, I have a strange sound in my dream every night, luring and threatening me in various ways, calling me out of the cave , said that there was a monk named Sanzang who came from the Tang Dynasty in the East. If he eats it, he will live forever and have the power of monsters. Get up, entangled in my mind every day, call me call me, let me out of the hole.

The mage has read Buddhist scriptures and knows that if this monster does not eat people, he can practice Taoism. However, the voice coaxes me to eat people and destroy my cultivation. I have no choice but to leave the cave. The closer I get to the mage, the softer the voice , as if to succeed.I thought about it carefully, but came up with one thing: the more we monsters eat people, the more evil we become, but the mages become more kind as they transcend, the more I think about it, the more frightened I feel.This time I just want to ask one thing, who is this voice, who is this monster?Is there enmity with me, or is there kindness to the mage? "

Mouse Jing propped his hands on the ground, leaned forward, and looked at Sanzang.

After listening to the last sentence, Sanzang bowed his head and silently recited a sentence of Amitabha, when suddenly his heart skipped a beat.

Along the way, among the monsters he met, those who escaped from the mortal world privately and stole the treasures of the gods and Bodhisattvas, there is also the Taishang Laojun Zeng Yun. Let's see if your master and apprentice really want to go west.

If it is true what the mouse spirit said, she does not want to eat people, but there are voices asking her to do so, it is forcing her to do evil, to build a big dojo for herself, and to give decades of meritorious service.

Sanzang didn't dare to think about it anymore, cold sweat dripped down his back like rain.

He wholeheartedly devoted himself to the Buddha, to saving monsters, and saving the common people from being eaten, but today he was about to fall into the situation where the common people were being eaten because of him.

The author has something to say: So far, when Sanzang is about to approach the Lingshan Mountain, he is still puzzled by why Avalokitesvara wants to borrow treasures and turn into monsters to hurt the local people, and he is very unwilling to increase his merits by getting rid of such monsters.

Avalokitesvara practice is the choice of the original Journey to the West

Sanzang’s approach is not the choice of Tang Seng in the original book. He relied on his own efforts to get rid of the monsters. Naturally, he had to be down-to-earth, and he would feel a little guilty about receiving the credit of his apprentices.
