[Journey to the West] The monster took me away again

Xuanzang and others lived in Fengxian County for half a month.

The four masters and apprentices who wanted to leave after the matter of praying for rain were stopped by the people of Fengxian County.

It is said that this is a boundless and boundless kindness. If you do not allow a banquet to thank you later, I am afraid that you will not be able to sleep peacefully every night.

Xuanzang thought of the three years they lived in fear, plus the extra candied haws on the bed every day, so he agreed.

After eating the banquet, he was stopped again. One day of banquet, two days of banquet, three days of reward, and four days of thanks. It took half a month.

On this day Xuanzang called three apprentices, packed his luggage and prepared dry food, and wanted to leave quietly in the middle of the night.

Going to buy, Wu Neng went directly to the kitchen of the restaurant, and told the cook to prepare thirty white flour steamed buns for them, plus three jars of wild vegetables. The cook nodded and agreed without thinking about it.

Turning around, he told the shopkeeper of the restaurant, and the shopkeeper went to inform the officials with crowns standing under the eaves outside, and the officials went to the yamen to tell Shangguan Junhou.

The Marquis of Shangguan County is quietly bringing countless laborers to build temples for the four eminent monks all night long.

Drifting was shopping for shoes on the street when he received the news from the officials.

The shoes on the feet of the master and apprentice had been worn for three months, and they had already been severely worn out. This time, buying two new pairs of shoes in Fengxian County was enough for them to use them for three months.

"Hurry up, the project is coming to an end today, everyone will give the mage master and disciples a surprise in the evening."

When the Marquis of Shangguan learned that the four monks were leaving, he quickly picked up the mud load beside him, and hurriedly followed the workers to dare to build the temple.

In the evening, four monks who knew nothing in the restaurant were packing their luggage.

Wu Neng put the three cans of pickles that the cook had been busy all afternoon at the bottom of the box, and put the thirty white flour steamed buns on top.

The rest are all kinds of snacks that Wukong bought on the street. After stuffing a whole box, the other one contains the new clothes bought by Xuanzang, the shoes prepared by Drifting Monk, and various daily necessities.

After packing everything up, the oil lamps in the guest rooms on the second floor were extinguished, and at midnight, four figures came down from the second floor silently.

Wukong went to pull out the white dragon horse from the stable, and Wu Neng went to open the wooden door of the restaurant.

"Master, be careful, there is a high step here."

Wu Neng walked outside the door, turned around and pulled Chen Wei who had just woken up, and let him go only after he stepped over the threshold.

In the dark night, Chen Wei rubbed his eyes, yawned and looked towards the inn opposite the restaurant, and vaguely saw a glimmer of light.

In the next moment, the bright light gradually became larger and brighter, and figures appeared on the paper windows of the inn.

The entire Fengxian County seemed to be infected, every household, every household, all the oil lamps were lit, and the red lanterns outside the door were quickly lit by the people hiding in the night.

"Master, what's going on, it's a little scary."

Wu Neng held his nine-toothed rake in front of him, protecting Chen Wei behind him, watching the strange scene in front of him vigilantly.

"Probably the people here, they want to give us a surprise." Chen Wei's eyes fell on the gate of the opposite inn, the best proof was the beaming appearance of Shangguan Junhou who came out from there.

"Master, I have led the people to build a temple for you. The construction has not stopped day and night. Please ask the master to visit the temple before leaving."

"Temple? Such a short time?"

Chen Wei was a little surprised that they went to build a temple.

Speaking of this, the Marquis of Shangguan was a little proud: "Your official also knows that the mage and others will go to the Lingshan Mountain in the West to get the scriptures, so I dare not delay everyone's schedule. The people of the city are divided into two shifts, day and night, and finally today The upper beam is finished, so I invite the mage to take a look."

Looking at the excited faces in front of him, Chen Wei slowly clasped his hands together, smiling directly into his eyes: "Amitabha, I thank you all for your kind deeds."

"I will lead the way for the mage!"

A five-year-old child raised his palm from the crowd, actively trying to lead him the way.

"Okay, let this young adult lead the way for the poor monk, master and apprentice."

Chen Wei laughed.

A group of people walked behind the child, followed the Marquis of Shangguan and the common people, and soon came to the temple they built.

All the lights had already been lit here, Chen Wei stood at the door looking at the majestic and majestic mountain gate, and took out the diary in the luggage behind him with a thought.

Holding a charcoal pencil in one hand, under the light of countless lanterns, he drew this picture on paper. Looking at the vivid picture of the temple on the paper, Shangguan Junhou persuaded him more energetically: "This temple is for Four mages were established, and the mages were asked to leave a name for the temple."

Chen Wei put away the diary, looked up at the newly built temple, and after pulling the three apprentices to think carefully, he gave the Marquis of Shangguan a name.

On the night when the four masters and apprentices left, some craftsmen hung their names on the temple gate.

The five characters of "Ganlin Puji Temple" have been handed down forever in Fengxian County since then. The local people recruit monks widely, serve incense, and fast at four o'clock every year.

Over there, Chen Wei took his apprentices back on the road, and after walking all night, after dawn, they found a hut where Orion lived temporarily.

Several people lit torches and drank hot water, then fell to the ground and fell asleep in a ball.

This sleep only woke up at noon. Chen Wei rubbed his sore neck and re-boiled a pot of hot water. Several people ate dry food in a hurry and went on the road again.

It is the time of yellow flowers, red leaves are flying, and a new city can be seen before dark.

When he was about to approach, an old man emerged from the bushes, wearing a dark coat with a cane in his hand, and when he appeared in front of the four of them, he looked up at them curiously.

"Where do the elders come from?"

"Master, this is land."

The moment the old man appeared, Wukong saw him clearly with his piercing eyes.

Knowing that it was the father-in-law of the land, Chen Wei got off his horse and walked up to him, "The poor monk is a monk who learned from the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land. He just brought his apprentices from Fengxian County over there. I don't know the name of the city ahead."

Hearing that they were the Tang monks and disciples who traveled westward, the land quickly replied: "The little god has seen the mage, and the city ahead is Yuhua County, where the monks are respected and the people are loved. If the mage and others go, there will be Respect."

Chen Wei thanked the land, stopped riding the horse, and walked directly to the city over there holding the rein.

Sure enough, when the four masters and apprentices walked five or six meters away from the city gate, they saw many people queuing up to enter the city, all with ruddy complexions and strong bodies.

He didn't panic when he saw the three strange-looking apprentices behind him. At most, he looked away a few more times in embarrassment.

After they entered the city, they saw that the business was booming. There were businesses everywhere, restaurants and singing halls, bustling and bustling, and the scenery near the water and mountains was excellent.

Some courageous companions stood by the roadside and followed them with a smile. One of the teenagers was encouraged by his companions and pushed him out to stand in front of Chen Wei. Seeing the monk who subdues monkeys and pigs, you... are you a real monk?"

After the words fell, the group of companions covered their mouths, and their bodies twitched while laughing.

When Chen Wei heard this, he put on a serious expression, stretched out his right hand and raised it, with all four fingers pointing down, and only raised one index finger to swing left and right in front of the boy three times, explaining in a low voice: "Shh, this is a secret, you You can’t tell outsiders, if you want to know, please listen.”

The red-faced boy turned his face sideways in amazement, and came over with his ears attached. First, he felt a puff of exhaled heat in his ears, and then a clear voice came from the next second: "We are really monks."

After Chen Wei finished speaking, he stood up straight, patted him on the shoulder pretending to be mysterious, and said loudly, "I will only tell you this secret."

After finishing speaking, in the stupefied effort of the young man, he quickly left the place with the three apprentices.

After walking five or six meters, looking back, the boy was already surrounded by a group of friends, all of them couldn't wait to ask him.

"Quick, quick! Bi Hai, tell me, what did that person tell you?"

The young man named Bi Hai looked confused, looked at the expectant faces of his friends, and opened his mouth: "He just said, he is a monk."

"Impossible! How could he say such a thing? He is bald and wearing cassock, with Buddhist beads in his wrist. He is a monk. How could he tell you secretly."

"Bi Hai, I have the best relationship with you. Can you tell me this secret? Just tell me alone!"

"No, no! Bi Hai's relationship with me is obviously the best. You went to my house for dinner yesterday. You should tell me this secret first. If you tell me, I won't tell anyone else!"

Chen Wei, who was five meters away, leaned back and forth with a smile, seeing that the young man named Bi Hai was getting burned by the enthusiasm of his companions, and started talking nonsense.

I don't know what answer he came up with on the spur of the moment, and how to convince a few partners that it was really a surprising secret.

They walked along the Sixth Street Market and entered the second gate. As soon as they entered, Chen Wei heard a rice buyer on the side of the road dragging his neighbors to talk about today's rice price.

"Master, this place is indeed close to the Paradise of Ultimate Bliss. The white rice costs four dollars and one stone. It can be said to be a place where all grains are plentiful."

Wu Neng shook his huge ears, and heard the conversation between the two with the tip of his ears.

"Advance to the three gates to see if there is a need to replace the documents here."

Chen Wei didn't stop walking, and after a while, the four masters and apprentices walked into the three gates. Passers-by on the road pointed them in a direction after learning their purpose, and soon the group arrived in front of a Yuhua Palace.

Wukong ran up to knock on the door, and after a while, people from the yamen came to inquire about the purpose of their visit. Knowing that they were Buddhist monks from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, he politely invited them to sit in the guest house for a while.

The four went to the side and sat down again.

At the corner of the street, a leopard that had just descended from the mountain was squatting in the corner, looking at the guest house and the strong Buddha light on the monk. Looking at it with a hook, there was a "gurgling" sound in his throat from time to time.

The author has something to say: Xuanzang: It is reasonable to doubt that you put the leopard here on purpose.

Chen Wei: Hahahahahaha how could it be.
