[Journey to the West] Jagged Tang San Burial

Although this temple is said to be built by imperial edict, it is located in the deep mountains and old forests, and there are many monks in the temple, and it is not allowed to take off the clothes/cassocks of the Bodhisattva King Kong clay sculpture, only those who have private money wear cassocks/cassocks, which are a little poorer Wearing a shaggy shirt, the one with the few money in his hand is wearing a straight bell. He is so poor that he can't even afford a copper coin. He has no long clothes, so he picks up two waist skirts and wraps them around his body. Hairy legs, dodging, squeezed in the team, followed the abbot out of the temple.

Sanzang was waiting in front of the mountain gate for Bajie who was going to stay overnight, but unexpectedly he heard the commotion of people inside, a group of monks came out. Are the caps in their proper positions? Seeing Sanzang, they hurriedly knelt down and kowtowed. A group of monks shouted "Master Sanzang", the voice resounded through the sky. Force myself not to look at the big white buttocks of the unclothed monk in the back row.But Sanzang obviously didn't expect this, the monkey rolling the curtain and Xiaobailong was really frightened, the monkey wondered and asked: "Could it be that the idiot was rejected for staying overnight and threatened the group of monks with force?"

The abbot didn't even get up, but still knelt down on the ground and looked up at Sanzang. After a while, his eyes were full of tears, and he was emotionally moved: "Although I have never traveled far, I have heard the reputation of Master Sanzang. The master worked hard to eliminate demons and demons all the way. Earning a good reputation, I am no longer the master of ringing the bell and chanting scriptures, but also thanks to the blessing of the mage. Many little demons ran away on the way, and many people's lives were saved. My dilapidated temple was also rebuilt by grace. It used to be I can't even put on my clothes well, all because of Master Sanzang's power, I'll kowtow to him here!"

Sanzang was a little embarrassed. In the past, I saw ordinary people worshiping the emperor and Guanyin, but when he saw him kneel down and worship him like this, the abbot even said that tears filled him. When the love was strong, he really wanted to hug his thigh and cry. He stretched out his right hand, helped the abbot up, and said softly: "This is just the duty of a poor monk, the abbot's words are too serious."

The abbot held Sanzang's hand instead: "That's wrong! You have to know how many monks in the world today take the Master as an example! How many monks also follow the Master on the westward journey, just to see the Master's side! Nowadays, the little monk... is really big It’s a blessing! The good luck I cultivated in my previous life! Only then can I meet the mage! If the mage doesn’t dislike it, can this small temple enshrine the statue of the mage so that I can kneel down every day.”

But the monkey thought to himself: When Grandpa used to rule Huaguo Mountain, why didn't he expect to build the Monkey King Temple, but only set up a flagpole, so it seems that there are still some differences between monsters and ordinary people. The abbot was an eyesore, he babbled for a long time, he held the monk's hand and did not let go, he must have good eyesight, saw the numb smile on the monk's face, and said: "You abbot, you are so boring. It's better to invite my master to the main hall and fix a table of vegetarian dishes, rather than shed tears here." As soon as he finished speaking, he received Sanzang's quick admiration. , and then retracted again.The abbot also suddenly realized, he hastily reprimanded the monks behind him to stand aside, to make way for Master Sanzang, hurriedly led him into the three mountain gates, sent him to sit on the main seat in the main hall, and then the monk in charge of the kitchen served him first After tea, I hurried to wash the pots and stoves, arranged tea and rice in each room, held high lights in the hall, and moved the tables and chairs. The abbot respectfully invited Master Sanzang and several disciples to sit down, and he sat beside him.After the meal, a monk came up to clean up the bowls and dishes, and tore them down together. The abbot asked a few more questions about how to eliminate demons and subdue demons all the way. Born as a monk, he only knows how to recite scriptures and worship Buddha, and travels around. It is inevitable that some kings of the country only love Taoism and dislike Buddhism. It is said that the Taoist master can eliminate demons, but the monk rings the bell. After hearing about the deeds of the master, he knows the original monk. You can also do the same, the mantras of the Buddhist scriptures are written in the scriptures, everyone knows it, but no one can use it, the world thinks that Buddhism is nothing more than this, it turns out that the world does not know the name of the master."

Bajie was on the side, listened to a sentence, nodded his head, his face was full of disapproval, he and anyone who praised Sanzang, whether it was a monster or a mortal, always seemed to have found a confidant, and he had to add a few words: "You monk said That's right, my master is a fairy-like figure, with great supernatural powers and infinite power, ummmmmmm—"

Sanzang gave the abbot a look, the monkey covered Bajie's mouth, Xiaobailong acted as a helper and dragged him down, Sanzang bowed to the abbot, and said indifferently: "The abbot praised me absurdly, the mantras in the Buddhist scriptures are only second, what's more Mostly it is the truth to influence the world. It is important to eliminate demons and demons, but the poor monk can only eliminate demons, but he cannot get rid of the demons of ordinary people. The scriptures, back to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to spread Buddhism, I also hope that the abbot will pass on the scriptures to those who come to offer incense.”

What he said was extremely crisp and neat, and it was not a tactful dismissal of the abbot's boast. The abbot behind him had a dull expression, and he hadn't reacted for a while. Suddenly he stood up and exclaimed, "As expected of Master Sanzang! The understanding is so deep! The master is really a living Bodhisattva! The master wants to save all sentient beings, but he first granted the humble wish of the little monk to build a statue of the master in Baolin Temple—— — Mage? Mage, please stay!"

Sanzang walked quickly, without turning his head resolutely. The monkey and the little white dragon beside him struggled to drag a screaming pig, and the rolling curtain carried the luggage. Master, the three meditation halls in front have been cleaned and the bed curtains are laid, please go and rest!" The monk was very attentive, when the abbot chased him out of the hall, he saw Sanzang's back disappearing at the corner, frustrated To the extreme, after reading a sentence, the young monks in the temple will not guess their abbot's mind, and they will not block Master Sanzang at the gate of the temple, so that he can persuade him carefully, beg hard, and shape the golden body of the master to worship every day ...

What he was thinking here was beautiful, but when Sanzang thought that he was going to be with Guanyin and other Bodhisattvas, and the statue was placed on the high hall, he panicked a little. Bajie next to him finally found a space and asked for his order to paint for his master. Da Yaotu, before the monkey finished planning the magnificent scroll, he gagged him again, scolding the idiot for talking so much nonsense.The monks tremblingly led them to the door of the meditation hall, where they saw bright lights, four rattan beds spread out between the two ends, and hundreds of monks stood sideways outside the door, all waiting for the master. They came to bed and did not dare to leave sideways.

Not long after, Sanzang dismissed them under the pretext that he had settled them down. Just as he was about to close the door of the meditation hall, he looked up and saw the moon shining brightly in the sky. The little monk, laughing and laughing, saw Sanzang standing by the door, but he was not afraid, ran over, raised his head and asked, "Master, the moon is now full, did it be spit out by the dog? In the past, half of the moon was eaten by a dog." Did it drop?"

The monkey heard the child's voice, so it came over. Sanzang couldn't explain to the child that the full moon and the moon's waxing and waning are innate phenomena. The monkey next to him first smiled and said, "You little monk is really interesting. If the moon is only half the moon Just, doesn't Chang'e Jade Rabbit have to move every time?"

The children opened their mouths wide: "Chang'e really exists?! Jade rabbits also exist? Isn't this a legend?"

The monkey smiled and said, "You all believe in Tiangou, why don't you believe in Chang'e?"

The children let out a bewildered oh, and it seemed reasonable to think about it, so they stopped asking further questions, bounced back to the tree, sat and looked at the moon, the monkey turned sideways and asked Sanzang: "Master, how did I answer?" ?” His eyes were bright under the moon, and the corners of his eyes were red and dark. Sanzang glanced at him and said, “It’s okay, but I’m also very curious as a teacher. So Chang’e really lived on the moon?” The monkey didn’t expect that either. Sanzang suddenly asked, he had visited the Tiangong all over, but he had never been to the Guanghan Palace where the fairy Chang'e lived, and was hesitating about what to use to pass by, when a hand behind him hooked his The shoulder pulled him away from Sanzang abruptly, and the monkey looked back, and it was indeed the pig.

Bajie triumphantly said, "Elder brother, you don't know this. The moon is very barren. There is only one Guanghan Palace and one sweet-scented osmanthus tree. In the Guanghan Palace, Taiyin Xingjun is the leader, and the fairies live in the palace separately. Only in the past, Chang'e also had a mansion in Jiuchongtian, but because of—ahem, because of what happened that day, she was sent back to the Guanghan Palace, and Wu Gang led the order to cut down the sweet-scented osmanthus tree, just like that."

The monkey was pushed away by him, feeling very upset. He was full of peach blossoms and fruits, and before he could tell Sanzang, he was snatched away by the pig who didn't know what to do, and said coldly: "What happened today? Oh , You were mistaken by Wu Gang for being molested by Chang'e, but Chang'e came back and bumped into it? Don't hide that you were drunk and molested Chang'e, grandpa told you, half of the gods in heaven know it well."

Bajie blushed all over his face, it was the first time for Sanzang to hear such a detailed inside story, even Xiao Bailong came over and put his hands on a senior brother's shoulders: "Second senior brother, it's not that the junior brother hurt you, there is still What kind of things can hide the shutter? You can find out when you check it out. Both of them are gods. When you talk about it, save face. If you say you are molesting Chang'e, everyone will default to molesting Chang'e. "

As soon as he said this, Bajie felt hot on his head, and flung him away, feeling that he had lost face in front of Sanzang, and the whole pig complained: "This monkey is the one who mentioned it first! What are you talking about Chang'e! Just say that it is a piece of sesame seed cake! Take a bite and it will grow back in a few days! Go to sleep!"
