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

"No, why should we keep it from you?"

Wukong casually threw the question back to the other party.

"Maybe I haven't woken up yet."

After thinking about it carefully, Chen Wei knew that the three apprentices had nothing to hide from him.

The complexion and mood are not very good, maybe it's because they didn't sleep well at night, after all, they did a lot of things this night, and it was only five o'clock and they were going to continue on the road.

The four masters and apprentices came to the Huangmen Tower, took out the customs clearance document and asked the Huangmen official to play it.

In the Golden Luan Hall, the lord who was facing the court had already heard the princess clearly understand what happened back and forth, and heard Huangmenlou said that there was an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty asking for an audience, so he immediately ordered people to invite four Tang monks, masters and apprentices to the hall.

Chen Wei took three apprentices and walked into the Golden Luan Hall with a nine-ring tin rod.

The king who pointed at his nose yesterday and said to give him three days to think about it, otherwise he would take them down, today he bowed kindly and saluted when he saw them coming in.

"Yesterday, I offended you a lot, and I haven't thanked the eminent monk for his righteousness. I know that I can't keep the eminent monk, so I specially prepared a trip for you."

The escort officer on the side brought out a tray with two hundred ingots of gold and silver on it, and two sets of spring, summer, autumn and winter clothes for the four masters and apprentices.

"Amitabha, Monk Drifting, bring the customs clearance text." Chen Wei signaled Sand Monk to bring the customs clearance text.

Guan Wen was sent to the head of the Tianzhu Kingdom. The other party opened the Guan Wen and saw on the first page the personal seal of the Tang King who was [-] miles away. Seal, take out your customs clearance imperial seal, and carefully cover it at the end.

The customs clearance document returned to Chen Wei's hands, and the mortal monk in brocade cassock opened his pearl-like eyes and looked up at the pillar next to the Golden Luan Hall.

A figure redressed stood there.

It was the princess of Tianzhu Kingdom who was sent back to the palace by Wu Neng in the middle of the night. She had not rested after washing and changing her clothes.

The other party stood there secretly looking at the eminent monk on the Golden Luan Hall, and accidentally met the eyes of the ruthless eminent monk last night.

She looked away with just one glance at the other party, but the Princess of Tianzhu thought of his coldness and ruthlessness last night, so she quickly hid behind the pillar in fright, and only after the four master and apprentice left, she covered her heart and looked out carefully.

Seeing the empty hall, the lord of the country led the courtiers to set up a luancar together, invited Chen Wei and the others to climb up, escorted them all the way out of the city gate, and when they passed the Nabujin Temple, all the monks kowtowed in unison.

The lord of the country supported the old master at the mountain gate, and in order to thank the old master for saving and raising the princess, he made the old master a monk to serve the country on the spot.

A group of people sent Chen Wei, master and apprentice, another ten miles away, and followed behind them non-stop.

"Wukong, blow the gust of wind."

Chen Wei turned his head and looked at the crowd following all the way, and let Wukong go out with a breath of wind. In the midst of flying sand and rocks, he pulled up the reins and clamped the horse's belly, and the white dragon horse ran out on the spot.

When the gust of wind stopped, the lord of Tianzhu led all the monks and court officials, and they had already seen the figures of the four Buddhist scriptures.

On the mountain road, Chen Wei had asked the white dragon horse to slow down, and the four of them walked leisurely on the mountain path all the way westward.

It was the end of spring and the beginning of summer, the weather was clear, the grass was fragrant, the flowers were blooming and the willows were light. The four masters and apprentices were eating and sleeping in the mountains. After walking for half a month, they saw another new city in front of them.

A few people stood at the intersection and looked over there.

At this moment, before Wukong saw the position over there clearly, Wu Neng opened his mouth first.

"Master, you see, this monkey has started to put on a show. He has walked this road countless times, but now he is pretending not to know."

Wukong looked at the radiant candle flames in the city with golden eyes, and where the auspicious clouds were colorful, and when he heard Wu Neng's words, he hit him on the head with a long golden cudgel: "I have walked this road several times, but every time it is a I have never walked on the ground once in the sky to find Bodhisattvas or Buddhas, so how can I be considered an acquaintance."

"Okay, stop making trouble, it seems that someone is coming."

Chen Wei grabbed the two apprentices who were about to fight, got off his horse, and looked at the two figures coming from a distance.

Two gray-haired old men walked side by side, one with a basket in his hand, and the other with an old tree and ancient vine crutches coming from the front.

After crossing the suspension bridge and walking outside, I casually glanced here while talking along the way.

I saw a monk who looked like a human being standing in front of three different monks, and when I saw them looking over, I clasped my hands and saluted them.

"Old man, what is this place?" Wukong jumped up, making the old man notice his existence, shaking his head from side to side with his hairy face in a frightening way.

The bluffing old man was taken aback, and he quickly lowered his head and didn't dare to look at them: "Elder, this is called Diling County, if you want to eat vegetarian food, you can go to Nanbei Street, and when you get there, you will see a tiger sitting on the gate tower, which is Kou Yuanwai's house." There is no need to ask for alms, there is a sign in front of his house that reads "All monks are not blocked", and monks like you who come from afar can go over to eat fast and stay overnight at any time."

"Amitabha, thank you for your words. The poor monk came from afar to worship the Buddha. These three are disciples of the poor monk. They are just ugly but they will not hurt others at will." Chen Wei looked at the other party with a look full of fear , calmly pulled Wukong who was jumping just now, and rubbed the opponent's peachy head with his right hand a few times.

Wukong stood beside him expressionlessly, rubbing his head.

The two old men raised their heads carefully, and saw that the monkey was really standing there obediently, letting people's palms turn around on his head, and the two strange monks with fat heads and big ears were also standing obediently beside them.

For a while, the fear eased a lot. After thanking Chen Wei, he still quickly fled here with a basket and crutches.

"Have you touched enough? Always doing these useless things, which mortal will not be scared away when he sees us."

Wukong rolled his eyes and removed the presumptuous palm on his head, and was about to leave while holding the golden cudgel and pulling the reins.

"I was not scared away, I am also a mortal."

Chen Wei smiled and joked with him, and the four followed the direction the old man pointed, and quickly entered the city to find North-South Street among the long streets, and saw a six-foot-tall tiger sitting on the gate tower in the distance.

When the four masters and apprentices walked to the bottom of the gate tower, they saw the signboard of "All Buddhas Are Unstoppable". It was erected at the door so that passers-by and businessmen could see it clearly.

"The Western Buddha Land is full of sages."

The three apprentices stood behind him and looked at the plaque together.

When the four masters and apprentices were standing here, the gatekeeper boy of Kou Yuan's family was sitting inside kowtowing melon seeds. Suddenly, he saw four strange monks coming outside the door, threw away the melon seeds in his hand, turned around and ran inside.

"My lord! My lord! Four strange monks came to the door!"

Kou Yuanwai was taking a walk in the courtyard, chanting a rosary in one hand, and spinning the beads at the same time, when he heard a strange monk standing outside the door, he threw his crutches on the spot, and quickly grabbed the boy: "You just said that four monks were here Outside?"

The figure of the three scary monks in the mind of the gatekeeper boy has not dissipated. The lord nodded without thinking: "There are four, and the four monks are wearing monk's robes. The leader is also wearing cassocks."

"Hurry up, go out to greet me." Kou Yuanwai is 64 years old this year. It has been 40 years since he started making a wish to worship ten thousand monks at the age of 24. He has prepared an account book for himself. He has already made nine thousand offerings for free. There are 96 and [-] monks, only four people are missing, and it took a full year to achieve consummation.

At this moment, I heard that four monks came outside. This is a fate from heaven. I wish him the number of ten thousand monks, and his merits and virtues will be complete.

Outside the door, just as Chen Wei read the four-character plaque, he saw the door of Yuan Kou's house being opened from the inside, and an old man in a monk's uniform walked out from the inside with great excitement.

Seeing that Chen Wei's master and apprentice had different appearances from ordinary people, he was not afraid. He walked up to them and walked around them a few times. After counting them, he was sure that there were four of them. , please come in quickly."

It was rare for Chen Wei to see someone welcome him so much. He whispered to remind the three apprentices to pay attention to their appearance and not to frighten them. Then they entered the door of Kou's house. Passing the door along the way, they saw Buddhist halls, scripture halls, and vegetarian halls behind. In the hall, there are purple gold bells hung high on vermilion frames, bronze furnaces with thousands of Buddhas, glazed lamps, and bright sesame oil.

It can be seen that the family living here is a family full of Buddha. When passing by the scripture hall, Chen Wei saw countless scriptures piled up on the vertical cabinet of the square platform, and the painted tabletop was also covered with paper. Ink brush and inkstone, calligraphy and painting, piano and chess.

"If Xuanzang saw this, he would be happy."

Chen Wei murmured to his apprentice in a low voice, the owner of this scripture hall must have a good chat with Xuanzang.

"If the mage likes it, you can stay here temporarily tonight." Although Kou Yuanwai, who took the initiative to guide them, didn't hear what the mage said, he saw the joy in his eyes and invited him to live in the scripture hall for a while. Night.

"That's good, that poor monk will thank the old man first."

Kou Yuanwai hadn't seen strange monks arrive in Diling County for a long time, and after inviting them into the house, he asked them to prepare fragrant tea and asked them about their origins curiously.

"I don't know where the eminent monks came from?"

"My master is an imperial envoy of the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and he was ordered to go to the Lingshan of the Western Heaven to meet the Buddha and ask for the truth." Wukong proudly told the background of his master.

As soon as he finished speaking, the staff looked at them with surprise and joy, and poured tea for them with joy: "As a lay monk, my disciple also made a promise to the heaven 24 years ago, only four years away. I have waited for a full year for the quota, but now four masters and disciples come here, and the disciple's merits are full, and after the disciples finish their merits, they will personally carry the sedan chair to send the master up the mountain, and it is only [-] miles away from here to Lingshan."

Kou Yuanwai's merits and virtues were almost full, so he couldn't help calling the big and small family children, carrying firewood and water, getting rice, noodles and vegetables, and rectifying the fasting offerings. He also invited his mother and children, hoping to let everyone come to pay respects to the eminent monks of the Tang Dynasty.

Chen Wei, the master and his disciples, put the suitcase in the scripture building, and he walked to the next door to the Buddhist hall, where he saw a golden statue of Guanyin enshrined.

Having not seen this Bodhisattva for many days, Chen Wei thought that he was only [-] miles away from the Lingshan Mountain, so he picked up the incense stick on the altar table and lit it, and made an offering to this Bodhisattva.

"Bodhisattva, Bodhisattva, if I succeed in learning the scriptures, can I make a wish?"

On the high platform, the flying Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea looked down, and saw that Tang Monk had come here, and asked him after changing a comfortable posture.

"What do you wish for?"

The author has something to say: Xuanzang: Here he is again.
