[Journey to the West] The Poor Monk Xuanzang

Woke up by myself again, I sat on the head of the bed in some distress, staring at this terrible building.

The monkey next to me kept staring at me, scratching its ears and cheeks while watching, as if to scratch itself into a bald head.

I sighed deeply: "Do you have a deep hatred with your hair?"

The monkey smiled and came up to me, beat his legs and squeezed his shoulders, and finally put his shoulders on me and said: "Master, when are we going to go on the road?"

I yawned a lot, looked out the window with tears in my eyes, and naturally only saw darkness.

I grabbed the monkey and pushed him to the window, pointing at the stars all over the sky, and said under pressure: "Go out at this time?"

The monkey said with a smile, "We've stayed in this place for too long, the old grandson is so idle."

"No hurry," I turned around and fell back on the bed and pulled the quilt, "Buddha is not in a hurry, what are we in a hurry for?"

"Master, but what did that monster say to you?" The monkey came over again, "It seems that it is not in a hurry to learn from the scriptures now."

I turned my back and ignored him.

The monkey continued: "Master, if you figure it out and don't go to learn scriptures, my old grandson will send you back to Chang'an, and letting Bajie and Drifting go back to each other is better than spending so much time."

I was upset when I heard that, so I simply covered my head with a quilt: "What about you?"

"Of course I will go back to my Huaguo Mountain and be my Monkey King." The monkey answered very awkwardly.

I was silent for a while, and only said: "No hurry."

"Master," the monkey came to pick up my quilt as if urging me to die, "Master, master, master!"

I laughed angrily at him: "You monkey, you can't stop."

He knotted his legs and stretched to the extreme, and said: "If everyone in this world stops, wouldn't it be boring."

I sighed: "Let's leave tomorrow."

On the second day, early in the morning, I heard Bajie crying for his father and mother.

"Master, master, master, save me!" The idiot rushed over.He was born obese, and walking is very hard on weekdays, but now he walks like flying and is extremely flexible.

That idiot ran over like flying, grabbed my shoulder, and cried out: "Brother, I don't know why I went crazy early in the morning, and my ears are red."

The monkey at the back was pulling the horse excitedly, and ran over in three hops, showing a mouthful of shining white teeth: "Master, get on the horse."

I laughed, threw the Zen stick in my hand to Bajie, and got on the horse with the support of the monkey.

Speaking of it, I still don't understand why the Tathagata would have to travel thousands of miles to Daleiyin Temple to get it if he wanted to promote Buddhism.

Since the Bodhisattva can turn into a monk to guide Xuanzang to learn scriptures, wouldn't it be more convenient for the Bodhisattva to go directly to the East to preach Buddhism?

There are many ghosts and ghosts along the way, but this monk's body has the effect of immortality, isn't this embarrassing?

I vaguely remember that the Buddha once said to Xuanzang during Journey to the West: In your previous life, you were my second disciple, named Jin Chanzi.Because you didn't listen to the Dharma, and despised my great teaching, you demoted your true spirit and reincarnated in the Eastern Land.

I remember this passage clearly, just because I was very curious about how contemptuous the Buddha's sentence "contemptuous of my great teaching" was.

Thinking about it this way, the Buddha was also a strange person. His disciples would be kicked out if they didn't listen to the lectures.

It was clear that he sent someone to lure him back, but he had to put on a look—seeing that you are sincerely seeking the scriptures, I will reluctantly give you the things.

All kinds of things like this are simply not ordinary awkwardness.

Thinking of Jin Chanzi's disdain for learning Buddhist scriptures and all kinds of evasions, he couldn't help but feel that this pair of master and apprentice is really a pair of strange people.

Yesterday Wukong said, if I don't learn from him, he will go back and be his monkey king.

I silently looked away from the lively monkey.

Naturally, I am not reluctant to part with this monkey, but I just want to see what the Buddha, whom Jin Chanzi dislikes so much, looks like.

It's just that Jin Chanzi took away Xiangfo's heart, and I'm afraid that my body will be exposed sooner or later...

As I was on my way, I suddenly saw a big river crossing in front of me, and the stone tablet beside the river said Tongtian River.

I got off the horse, lifted my hem, and squatted by the river to wash my hands.

Xiao Bailong also followed, and stood beside me in a human form, with a gloomy face that could wring out water, looking at the vast water surface without knowing what he was thinking.

"Master." He said suddenly, his voice hoarse.

I turned to look at him.

With a sound from Ao Lie, the black clothes were blown away by the river wind. He stood there motionless, his black hair rising and falling, and he stared at me without blinking.

"What is it?" I asked.Although I have never had a good impression of this dragon, but after getting along with him for so long, I have more or less developed feelings for him.

Ao Lie blinked, tears came down, he knelt down abruptly with his hem lifted, and pressed his forehead to the ground: "I beg Master to show you the way."

I was startled and took a few steps back in a hurry: "You, what are you doing?"

He kowtowed three times on the ground, raised his head, unaware that his face was covered in dust, moved his knees and knelt down in front of me: "Master, save me."

I sighed: "Get up and talk."

"Xiaolong mistook Master as an old man before, just because Master had a Buddha's light on his body, just like my old man." He refused to get up, "Now that Buddha's light is gone..." He stuck his forehead on his forehead again. Land: "Ask Master for advice."

I just think the amount of information in this sentence is a bit scary: "Are you looking for revenge?"

He showed a blank expression: "Xiaolong doesn't know."

"Then you want to make up with that person...renew the old relationship?" I hesitated, then thought about Jin Chanzi's bald head and red dress, Xiao Yu Yanran holding a baby in her arms, and couldn't help shaking my body.

……terrible.

He shook his head: "I dare not think about it."

"Then what are you doing?" I sighed.

His eyes were burning: "For this evil relationship." Yes, a pair of lovers finally fell to such a point, isn't it an evil relationship?

I let out a long sigh and said, "The poor monk can't speak."

His complexion quickly turned gray, like a rapidly withering flower, his Adam's apple moved, and he bowed deeply again: "Master is embarrassing."

I couldn't help comforting him: "If you two are destined to meet each other, you will meet each other." Although Jin Chanzi is [-]% avoiding you.

He didn't speak any more, just sat by the water covered in dust, and didn't say a word in a daze.

Seeing his pitiful appearance, Houzi couldn't understand it, and said: "A man stands upright, why is he so affectionate." Then he took out the jade pendant from his bosom and threw it to Ao Lie: "Here you are!"

Ao Lie grabbed the jade pendant and turned into a white horse without saying a word, and walked slowly to the water's edge to graze, like a real horse.

I looked at the drops of water dripping on the grass blades, and silently moved my eyes away.

I still can't understand the love in this world.If it's love, why bother to suffer so much?If you say you don't love, why bother to be so entangled?

"Master," the monkey rubbed up to me and held up the purple gold bowl and said, "Master, drink water."

I couldn't help laughing, took the bowl and said, pointing to the sunset in the west, "Wukong, I'm afraid the river won't be able to pass today."

Bajie continued: "There are also some barren hills next to it, I'm afraid there are no people to stay there."

The monkey said: "Maybe it's okay, let's make a fire here tonight, and tomorrow we can cut some bamboo and make a firewood."

"Senior brother, can you still make Fazi?" Drifting was a little surprised.

The monkey head was very proud, he waved his hand and said: "It's a small matter."

That night, the monkey instructed Bajie and Drifting to pick some large leaves and wrap them in the forest to keep out the wind, and picked up some dead branches and leaves to make a bonfire, and they ate dry food around the fire.

Bajie ate eight steamed buns and five cakes in a row, clutching his stomach and yelling that he was not full.

I shook my head and smiled, and handed him a steamed bun.

Bajie smiled instantly and stretched out his hand to pick it up, but Wukong slapped him away.

"Master, senior brother bullied me—" He has not finished complaining here.

Over there, Wukong began to curse: "You idiot, why don't you take the master's!"

Bajie snorted twice while the monkey wasn't paying attention, snatched the steamed bun from my hand, stuffed it into his mouth and ran away.He mumbled in his mouth: "The master gave it to me when he couldn't eat it! You monkey is obviously jealous."

"Looking for a fight!" The monkey took up the golden cudgel and chased after it.

"Master, the second brother was about to be beaten to death by the elder brother." Drifting said slowly from the side.

I saw that it wasn't true, Bajie was chased by Wukong and ran around. Although he didn't get a stick, he was sweating profusely.

"You two," I laughed, "Wukong, come here."

"Master, this idiot is full of nonsense, hit him twice to make him remember!"

"Master! Brother, you're going crazy! Master, save me!" Bajie took advantage of the gap and scrambled to get behind me, refusing to come out desperately.

"Come out!" said the monkey, holding the stick.

"Not coming out!" Bajie replied firmly and quickly.

"You really won't come out?" Monkey sneered.

Bajie grabbed my sleeve and replied: "If you dare to hit me, let the master recite the curse!"

"Okay! I actually have such a thought," the monkey scratched his head angrily, and rushed over, "Look at it!"

The commotion lasted until midnight.

I leaned against the tree and looked at the moonlight like water, and couldn't help being dazed.This kind of confusion about the way forward is something I have never experienced before.

There is always a banquet in the world, not to mention that I can't hide it from the Buddha, even if I can hide it from the Buddha, when I go back to the West Paradise, I still have to... At that time, what should I do?

"Master, go to sleep." The monkey dangled on the tree like hyperactivity, "Old Sun is staying here."

I laughed, shook my head, closed my eyes and fell asleep.
