[Journey to the West] Jagged Tang San Burial

Fayi once said that people are divided into nine classes, and monsters are divided into three classes, namely goblins, monsters and demons.The goblins are those who bathe in the aura of the world and all things, or get a chance, cultivate a human form, and in the future or cultivate the immortal way, or fall into the way of demons; monsters, not only cultivate the human form, but also devour human beings in order to chase the desire to eat, and commit crimes. Under the precept of killing, they make trouble in the human world; while monsters have already fallen into the way of demons, their cultivation is extremely high, they occupy one side, and they are called demon kings.

Sanzang is still quite tolerant towards goblins. After all, a good goblin eats fruit and drinks dew, and at most threatens to urge him to go on the right path. The tiger used to be at the level of goblins. Coincidentally, he was bewitched by other monsters and wanted to taste the taste of human flesh, but unfortunately he failed to succeed and was almost buried under Sanzang's staff.But fortunately, it has never eaten human flesh before, and its breath is pure. It was beaten by Sanzang until it turned into a dry vine. Sanzang didn't notice it for a while, so he let it stay until today.

Faced with Sanzang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, the tiger almost knelt down and wept bitterly, shouting for Sanzang's grandfather to let him go. After learning about Sanzang's deeds from the mouth of the tiger, after a while of panic, I thought to myself that there are three of us, and Sanzang is only one person. The tiger slowly circled Sanzang, ready to take it down in one fell swoop.

Although Sanzang has exterminated countless monsters, but he considers himself a monk, it is not easy to hit a monster first, and even Fayi wants to use him as bait to fish first. After pointing to salute, he shouted Amitabha Buddha.

The monsters in this cave also ate countless hunters and passers-by. There are many bones behind the stone wall. They think that there is no monster in the area, and one day they were beaten by the monk. The bones of the whole body are broken, and they are stuck on the wall, unable to move. .

I feel like I'm going to die, I'm going to die—what's the matter with this monk of his grandma!The strength of the hand is terrifying, the tin stick is so heavy that it can smash the demon to death, and when I accidentally touched the arm, it turned out to be a piece of muscle!

The monster can no longer tell whether it is blood or tears of regret on his face. If time can be turned back, he must practice witchcraft and keep fit so that he will not be dragged from the wall to the ground by a monk and kicked. kick in the face.

"Amitabha, it's cruel to kill so many people, tsk tsk."

Sanzang saw that the monster was motionless, and thought that the monster's form would be nearly lost, since he hadn't eaten for a long time and didn't want to waste any more energy, he simply recited the supernatural mantra ahead of time.

The monster heard the male voice, but he couldn't move his whole body, and the sadness in his heart flowed like a river. I am cruel, how can I be cruel like you, a monk who kills monsters like hemp!This demon has not died yet, it has already been saved. Didn’t your Buddhas teach you to be a monk to be merciful?

But what happened after that, it has no way of knowing, it just feels warm all over, as if the light enveloped itself, and then it exploded, turning into countless light spots and drifting away...

About half an hour later, Sanzang led the horse out of the cave, and the pale golden light spots scattered from behind him, spinning, or rising into the sky, or merging into the earth—this is the soul fragment of the monster after being saved , monsters come from all things, and return to all things, Buddhism and Taoism reincarnate, and live in peace.

When the light spots were scattered, Sanzang's eyes suddenly blurred, and he suddenly saw the three monsters put himself in the cauldron, and the fire under the pot devoured him. The image disappeared in a flash, and when Sanzang saw the scene in front of him again, an old man suddenly emerged from the ground, smaller than ordinary people, with white beard and hair, leaning on a walking stick, bowed his head tremblingly and bowed to him.

"The villain is the land here. He has been bullied by three monsters for many years, and the grievances of the ghosts in the underground are still lingering. Now, thanks to Master Sanzang, the demons are eliminated and the wronged souls are saved."

"kindness."

Sanzang responded lightly, his thoughts were still immersed in the scene in front of him just now, it is possible that there are some deceptive monsters lurking in the dark, but if so, why didn't the monsters create some more frightening illusions to come Take his life?

After the land returned to the land, Sanzang searched the surrounding area in a curious spirit, but found no trace of the second monster except for the weeds and forests, so he led the horse and continued on the road, returning at sunset. On this mountain, I can only find some fruit mushrooms anywhere, rely on the horse to rest at night, get up early the next day, and continue on the road after a set of punches.

This time, after walking not far this time, I heard the roar of wild beasts in the jungle. Although Sanzang can beat monsters, he can't beat wild beasts. The Buddha can still feed tigers with his body. Naturally, he doesn't want to follow suit, but he doesn't even want to face the big worms. .Not long after, a man with a steel fork in his hand and a bow and arrow hanging from his waist ran out from the hillside, and the two collided head-on.

"...monk?"

The Orion was very surprised when he saw him, and then looked at the way he came. The woods were criss-crossed, and it was rumored that there were monsters eating people. Just as he was thinking about whether the monk in front of him was a man or a monster, the big insect jumped out of the forest and rushed towards the two of them. .

The Orion has lived here for a long time, how could he be afraid of the big insect, shouted angrily, and straightened his steel fork to meet him straight up. One man and one tiger fought for a long time, but finally the tiger was exhausted and was stabbed by the Orion in the face, bleeding all over the ground. After struggling for a long time Limp to the ground.

Sanzang had never recited sutras for ferocious beasts, but now facing Orion's questioning eyes, he had to read a few sutras to the dead tiger corpse, and Orion believed that he came from the mountain, and warmly invited him to join him Go home, eat some food, and then go on the road.Seeing that there were no fruit trees in the vicinity, Sanzang naturally agreed.

There are many people in Orion’s family, and they all feed on local wild animals. All kinds of meat are placed on the table, Sanzang has no choice but to decline, and Orion’s mother believes in Buddhism, so she begged Sanzang to recite a few life mantras for her husband, and then cooked herself I boiled some wild vegetables and corn, and served them to Sanzang.

Sanzang glanced at the walls of the house and saw the heads of ferocious beasts hanging in many places. There were faint animal spirits resentful and unwilling to leave, so he changed it into a super-salvation mantra without authorization. The aversion was relieved a lot, and he quickly called out the holy monk, and became more courteous.

He stayed here until the second day, and the Orion's wife and mother even made a lot of round cakes and asked him to take them with him. Orion brought a few apprentices and sent Sanzang to the main road, and the two walked along the mountains to a large mountain. At the bottom of the mountain, when I was halfway up the mountain, I suddenly heard someone shouting at the foot of the mountain, the voice was like thunder;

"My master is here! My master is here!"

The man yelled several times in a row, like a thunderbolt from the blue sky, and there were stones rolling down the mountain, and the Orion seemed to have gotten used to it, and the disciple behind him said: "This yelling must be the old ape in the stone box at the foot of the mountain." Orion said: "It's him! The holy monk doesn't know that this mountain used to be called Wuxing Mountain, but it was renamed Liangjie Mountain because the king of the Tang Dynasty conquered the West Dingguo. In the past, I heard an old man say: "When Wang Mang usurped the Han, the sky descended on this mountain, There is a god monkey under him, who is not afraid of cold and heat, does not eat or drink, and is guarded by the earth god, who teaches him to eat iron pills when he is hungry, and drink copper juice when he is thirsty. From ancient times to the present, he will not die of cold and hunger.' This must be him."

Sanzang raised his eyebrows, thinking that this monkey monster has a long life, he was crushed under the mountain for so many days and survived, but there is a mountain falling from the sky, and the land is imprisoning him, so he is probably an unusual monkey monster, and he is quite interested. Orion and the others went down the mountain, pushed aside the bushes, and finally saw a head covered with weeds and monkey hair hanging out, with a pair of eyes shining brightly, with a faint red around the eyes, an indescribably strange evildoer.

The Orion was also very courageous, so he stepped forward to pull out the sideburn grass for the monkey, nodded Shasha, and asked him: "What do you want to say?" The monkey shouted: "I have nothing to say, teach that monk master Come up, I have something to ask!"

Sanzang didn't move forward either, and stood where he was. His eyes are not something ordinary people can see, but he can see that the monster is wrapped around the body of the monster, and the monkey monster's body is covered with a thick layer of blood, with a murderous look, so he said coldly, " What's the matter?"

The monkey said: "Are you sent by the king of the Eastern Land to learn scriptures from the Western Paradise?"

Sanzang nodded and said nothing, the monkey was overjoyed, and quickly said, "I am the Monkey King who made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace 500 years ago. I was suppressed here by the Buddha because of the crime of deceit. The former has a Guanyin Bodhisattva who leads According to the command of the Buddha, I went to the east to search for scripture seekers. I taught him to save me, and he advised me not to do any more violence, to return to Buddhism, to protect the scripture seekers diligently, and to go to the west to worship Buddha. After success, there will be benefits. Therefore, I am careful day and night, Day and night, I am in fear, just waiting for the master to rescue me. I would like to protect you to learn from the scriptures and be an apprentice with you."

The monkey's eyes were full of pleading, sincere affection, presumably the suffering of the past 500 years was not small, but it was a pity that Sanzang did not intend to do so.

"I can go on the road by myself, why should I bring you, a monster, with me?"

"I can protect Master from monsters!"

Seeing that Sanzang was unmoved, the monkey shouted eagerly, but Sanzang laughed and said, "This poor monk has been fighting demons since he was a child, so what's the use of you as a monster?"

The monkey frowned when he heard this, but looked at Sanzang carefully again, and there seemed to be a gilded fire in his eyes. After a while, his tone changed drastically, and his smile was not a smile.

"Then Guanshiyin is so tight that he didn't tell me that he is following such a monk."

The author has something to say: --It's a bit late today!

Sanzang is confronting the monkey head-on. The monkey has sharp eyes and finds that this monk has killed a lot of monsters (funny face)
