[Journey to the West] Jagged Tang San Burial

The little white dragon saw that the king of inspiration plunged headlong into the Tongtian River, so he followed, the fish demon swam fast, and countless aquariums in the Tongtian River were burned to death by the real fire of samadhi, all of which were carried by the fish demon , or carried on the back, or clamped under the fins, looked from a distance, they gathered into a huge black shadow, swimming towards the palace at the bottom of the Tongtian River.

Maybe it's from the same aquarium, or maybe it's because others laughed at him for being too soft-hearted, Xiao Bailong suddenly stopped, he stayed in the Tongtian River for a while, turned around and swam back to the shore, jumped out of the water, and saw the monkey The Karma lying in his arms remained motionless.

When Xiao Bailong got close to the red boy, he could no longer feel the warmth from the old Samadhi real fire through his palm. What he caught on the water surface was still the red boy who maintained his adult body shape, and now he has returned to his childish appearance. His fingers curled up, grabbing the clothes on his chest, his face full of pain.

The monkey was also at a loss, but Sanzang smelled the clear water that flowed out. At Wuzhuang Temple that day, Guanyin raised willow branches in his hand, and the water that was swayed also carried the scent of lotus nectar. The red boy Samadhi is really unstoppable. Only the nectar can restrain him, he was about to call the monkey to go for a walk in the South China Sea, when suddenly Bajie hurried over on a cloud, behind him was the merciful and merciful Avalokitesvara, followed by a somewhat familiar white-haired old man.

The monkey opened his mouth and called Bodhisattva first, and then called Laojun, why are you here? The old man is the Taishang Laojun in 33 Lihen Heaven, and now he is also a little anxious. "I also wondered why the fire didn't burn well today, but it got weaker and weaker later on. The only thing that can overcome my true fire in the Samadhi is the nectar water in the lotus pond in the South China Sea. It turned out to be like this!"

Laojun flipped his palm, and his palm ignited his true fire of samadhi, but the red boy choked on the nectar sprayed out by the fish demon, so it was inconvenient, so he had to let the nectar be sucked out first, and then press the fire into it .The little white dragon's seal is a water sign, the nectar water is beneficial to him, the red boy swallowed the true fire of samadhi slowly, and his complexion improved a lot.

You must know that when Princess Iron Fan escaped in the past, half of the true fire of samadhi, which was originally only stored under the alchemy furnace, was missing and fell into the body of a monster. So far, there are two kinds of roots, one is born, and one is born, and one is destroyed, and both are destroyed. Shang Laojun was busy making alchemy, if the fire was extinguished, his previous efforts for this furnace of alchemy would be in vain, so he hurriedly saved the fire in Honghaier's body, bid farewell to Guanyin and Sanzang, and returned to his 33 Lihen Heaven.

The monkey tugged at the little white dragon: "Little brother, what happened to the fish demon?"

Little Bailong's eyes were still on Honghai'er's face, and he raised his head blankly when he heard his sudden question, but he was also a little tired inside, and replied: "He is old and weak, and he is dead, go back and deal with it." I would like to look up and manage this matter, and concentrate on looking at the red boy.

The monkey did not expect the power of the true fire of Samadhi to be so powerful. Just blowing such a piece of fire on the surface of the water burned all the water monsters underneath to death. Although he used to not eat human flesh, he also fought with monsters from all over the world and five mountains. The old and the weak, and now the compassion has been violated, looking at Sanzang.

Sanzang recited Amitabha, and asked Guanyin directly, "Is it a fish that escaped from the Bodhisattva's place?"

When Avalokitesvara explained to Sanzang for the first time, he had to cover up and make a few excuses, but now he just said: "He was originally a goldfish raised in my lotus pond, raised by the spiritual energy of the South China Sea, or listened to scriptures, The means of cultivation. The nine-petal copper hammer is an unopened branch of Hangu, which he transported and refined into a soldier. I don’t know which day, the tide was rising, and he came here. Here the monster teaches, and it becomes a man-eating monster."

As soon as he finished speaking, he took out a bamboo basket from his sleeve and threw it into the Tongtian River.The bamboo basket was glowing with golden light, but it sank quickly, Guanyin closed his eyes and muttered something, after a while, the bamboo basket floated back to the river surface and returned to his hand.Guanyin looked down, but found two fish in the basket, one was a goldfish escaped from his South China Sea, and the other was a striped mandarin fish.

Avalokitesvara pinched his fingers and counted, he was already hesitant, Sanzang saw that he had accepted the fish demon, but he still asked: "The fish demon has been accepted, I wonder what the Bodhisattva will do with the dead childhood virgin sacrifices?"

Avalokitesvara recited Amitabha Buddha.

Reincarnation of life and death, people eat fish and shrimp, fish and shrimp turn into demons, monsters cannibalize people, whether it is Sanzang today, or Jin Chanzi in the past, mana can eliminate demons, can supersede demons, but reincarnation cannot be broken, Jin Chanzi They don't want mortals to be tortured by monsters, and they only want to eliminate monsters. They are determined to eliminate evil monsters in the world and save their souls, but they don't know why monsters are monsters and where the resentment in their hearts comes from.The Buddha feared that he would go astray and fail to comprehend Buddhist principles, so he put him in reincarnation, but reincarnation can't change the thoughts that Sanzang used to have in his heart.

"Sanzang, cause and effect have reincarnation. Their fate in this life is over. If you save them, they will be human again in the next life."

Guanyin said softly.

The grievances of the boys and girls accumulated at the bottom of the Tongtian River, and if it takes time, another monster will condense.

Sanzang was silent, he bowed to Guanyin, and walked towards the Tongtian River without turning his head. The monkey was shocked and was about to go up to stop him, but saw the Tongtian River parted for him, and the waves rolled towards the two banks, and the water palace underneath His body was smashed to pieces, revealing the accumulated bones.He chanted the mantra of transcendence, but in his heart he chanted the reincarnation of cause and effect, and the white bones turned into dots of golden light and gathered beside Guanshiyin.

However, the golden light and the previous commotion alarmed the young and old in Chenjia Village. They thought that the monks from outside were fighting with the monsters, and when they were about to intervene with their hoes and sickles, they saw Avalokitesvara in mid-air, Baoxiang Ling However, with kind eyebrows and kind eyes, regardless of the mud and water, they all knelt inside, kowtowed and worshiped, shouting to save the suffering, the Greatly Merciful and Greatly Compassionate Guanyin Bodhisattva, take pity on us, who have been eaten up by monsters.

The figure of the Bodhisattva was in mid-air, with his lips parted slightly, but his voice could reach the ears of the villagers: "You live by the Tongtian River, and you eat countless fish and shrimp in the river, and the spirits of fish and shrimp turn into monsters, and your resentment is endless." Now that the monster has been subdued by Sanzang, follow me to the west, and your flesh and blood, wronged souls will also go with you, reincarnated as human beings, and in the future, please remember that all things have living beings, and it is good to be vegetarian."

How dare the villagers not believe it, they all kowtowed and shouted Nuonuo Nuo. The Bodhisattva was in mid-air, holding a fish basket, twirling his fingers and smiling. Together, we went west.

Behind the auspicious clouds in the west that have not yet disappeared, a word of advice from the Bodhisattva faintly fell, and when Sanzang heard it, it was like a thunderstorm, and it drank in his head.

Sanzang, you must not act recklessly in matters of fate. For every life there is death, and for every death there is life again.

This sentence was repeated in his mind, as if to dispel the thoughts in his heart, the monkey saw him frowning, with an annoyed expression on his face, thought what happened, asked him hastily, Sanzang suppressed the unhappiness in his heart, I went to see how the red boy was doing.

Red Boy was sucked out of the nectar, and then fed the real fire of samadhi. The two fires in his body gathered together and burned blazingly. His palms became warm again, and he opened his eyes after a while. It was only just that he changed into an adult shape, and then After consuming a lot of monster power, he is still a little weak now. He was flattered to stand up with the support of Xiao Bailong, and told Xiao Bailong that I can do it myself.

Xiao Bailong asked coldly whether he wanted to help him or not.

Hong Haier thought for a moment, blinked, and replied: Yes.

Seeing that they were all right, Sanzang was about to cross the river, but he saw a huge old turtle suddenly drilled out of the Tongtian River, swimming towards them, with a face of a vicissitudes old man, speaking human words, and said to Sanzang: " This is the holy monk who rescued my aquarium? The old man is a turtle, who has transformed into a spirit after death for generations, guarding our aquarium here. We are not voluntary demons, many of us were eaten by mortals just because we were young, and the remaining remains Falling into the bottom of the river, turning into a monster, the accumulation of grievances persists. The inspiration was originally just a goldfish spirit, but due to old age, it was contaminated with the breath of monsters and became a monster. Now the holy monk rescued us from our grievances. I have gone to the west, but the soul of the old man is still there, I would like to carry the holy monk across the river."

Sanzang was silent for a moment, then suddenly asked again: "My apprentice burned you Tongtianhe, what about this resentment?"

The old turtle was stunned for a moment, apparently he didn't expect Sanzang to ask so directly, he suddenly smiled and said: "The holy monk is worrying too much. I was originally a spirit, and from the moment I chose to become a monster, I have prepared myself so that I will not be caught by the way of heaven." Those monsters who are born with resentment, they come from resentment, and then go from resentment, maybe they can throw away resentment, reincarnate as a human being, and mortals who bring resentment may have to enter the animal realm, to experience the evil that was imposed on them back then. The suffering of animals—everything in the world is equal, and the cycle of life and death is endless. The old man has already realized this truth, so why hasn’t the holy monk realized it?”

Sanzang recited Amitabha and said ashamed. The monkey carried the stick, obviously distrusting this old turtle who claimed to be a monster and didn't hate Sanzang, and whispered beside Sanzang, asking him, master, do you really want to sit on that old turtle? cross the river?Sanzang nodded, and he took the cassock first, and walked over to the old turtle's back.Monkey was dubious, he stood at the front, staring at Lao Yuan's head, and then several juniors stepped on Lao Yuan's back one after another.

The villagers of Chenjia Village were trembling when they saw the old turtle, and they thought it was a monster. Seeing the old turtle uttering human words, they turned their heads to look at them and said, "The old soul guards the Tongtian River. Be vegetarian, stop eating my descendants, and keep you safe." The villagers responded one after another, and stood by the river, watching Sanzang and his party, stepping on the old turtle's back and walking away, gradually turning into black spots.
