Seeing a holy monk misses life

In the original plot, among the four masters and apprentices, only Zhu Bajie was punished by the Bodhisattva for not changing his lust.

Right now, Zhu Bajie is not as sensual as described in the original Journey to the West, and agrees to the matter of recruiting a son-in-law.

Zhu Bajie, who is most likely to shake the mind of Zen, has been honest. The old mother of Li Shan and the three venerables did not continue to test like the original book. They arranged four rooms to rest.

On the second day, the sky turned white.

Chu Zu woke up to the sound of crisp birdsong, and opened her eyes to find that she and her three apprentices were sleeping on the soft haystack.

The original tall halls and carved beams and painted buildings have become a green and crisp pine forest.

Sha Wujing was puzzled: "Elder brother, what's going on?"

Before Sun Wukong answered, Zhu Bajie said: "What else can happen? Isn't it just a play made by the Bodhisattvas!"

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows: "You idiot know?"

Zhu Bajie sneered, who did this monkey underestimate: "Why? You are only allowed to see the truth with your piercing eyes, and I, Old Pig, are not allowed to guess the clues?"

Listening to the conversation between Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing finally realized, slapped himself on the head, and said: "So the Bodhisattva is testing whether our minds are firm enough!"

"Isn't it!" Zhu Bajie finished, and trotted to Chu Yu with the nine-toothed rake on his shoulders, "Master, I will be very reliable!"

"Although I'm not as powerful as the elder brother, I will obediently listen to Master." Zhu Bajie looked at Chu Qi with bright eyes, "Master told me to go west, but I will never go east."

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes.

dog legs.

Chu Xiao smiled and said, "Keep going."

＊＊＊＊＊＊

Time flies, and it is summer in a blink of an eye.

Fiery rays of light diffused down from among the lush branches and leaves, shining fragmentary spots of light on the ground.

It has been more than two months since Li Shan's mother and the three venerables tested the Zen mind of the four masters and apprentices.

In order not to cause unnecessary trouble, Chu Yu did not wear the hat of the five Buddhas, nor the cassock made of ice silkworms, but changed into a plain white monk's robe.

In the past two months or so, the four of Chu Zi did not experience any major hardships. Occasionally, when they reached some mountain tops, they would encounter some monsters who wanted to eat Tang Monk's meat and tried to catch Chu Zi.

But these monsters are all little monsters, and they were dealt with by Monkey King as soon as they made a move.

Speaking of it, it should be after they left the Dazhuangyuan where the old mother of Lishan cast a magic spell, the saying "you can live forever if you eat Tang monk meat" seems to have spread among monsters.

Chu Zi no longer remembers when this statement in the original work of Journey to the West came from

In fact, over time.

In the past two months, Chu Yu's memory of the plot of the original Journey to the West has become more and more blurred. On the contrary, Chu Yu found that the power of Jin Chanzi in his body is slowly awakening.

The blurring of the memory of the original work, the awakening of physical strength.

One loses one gain.

Whether this kind of gain and loss change is good or bad, Chu Zi can't clearly distinguish it in a short time.

"Why hasn't senior brother come back yet!" Zhu Bajie's complaining voice interrupted Chu Zi's thoughts.He was sitting on a rock, fanning his face with his loose sleeves.

This season, although it is not yet midsummer, Zhu Bajie is fat and has a lot of flesh on his body, so even if it is not a very hot season, he is more likely to sweat than ordinary people.

"Master, senior brother probably ran to some tree to enjoy the shade!" Zhu Bajie speculated wildly.

"Second Senior Brother, Senior Senior Brother will not be like you." The honest Sha Wujing honestly said what was in his heart, "And Senior Senior Brother just went to explore the road not long ago."

Zhu Bajie glanced at Sha Wujing, "Junior brother Sha, you know how to speak up for senior brother!" He muttered and began to complain.

"Bajie." Chu Wei shook his head slightly at Zhu Bajie.

Zhu Bajie shut up.

After a while, Monkey King who went to explore the road returned.

"Master, go on for more than 20 miles and you will reach the border of Qingxiao Kingdom. I saw the village there."

"Village?" Zhu Bajie Yile: "It's time to turn into a vegetarian meal!"

When it comes to eating and resting, Zhu Bajie is always the most active one.

...............

An hour later.

The four masters and apprentices descended from the high mountain to the flat ground. On the stone tablet on the right side of the road, Chu saw three large characters - Qingxiao Kingdom.

"Master, the village is just ahead." Sun Wukong said.

"Okay." Chu Yu nodded, dismounted and walked.

Because he wanted to get fast, Zhu Bajie walked at the front of the line. With sharp eyes, he noticed an old woman squatting beside a river next to the village, washing clothes.

The old woman washed very seriously, and her back was facing the road. When the master and apprentice walked towards her, the old woman didn't notice.It wasn't until Chu Zi walked to her side that the old woman raised her head when she realized someone was approaching.

After seeing Zi's appearance clearly, the old woman was amazed by the handsome monk in front of her, but soon, a very complicated look appeared on the old woman's face.

Her lips twitched for a while, as if she wanted to say something, but she didn't know where to start. Finally, she only uttered three words, "... Monk..." Her tone was heavy, and the expression on her face became more complicated.

There was some doubt in Chu Zi's heart, but his expression didn't show, but he said slowly: "Old benefactor, we come from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, and we will go..."

Before Chu Zi finished speaking, she was interrupted by the old woman directly, "Leave quickly, leave here quickly." The old woman put down the work in her hand, stood up and shook her head and waved at Chu Zi, saying: "Holy monk, you Get out of here quickly, don't come to us, at least after tonight...after tonight...that's it...otherwise...catch..."

The old woman began to speak intermittently, as if she had thought of something, and panic and fear appeared in her eyes.

Listening to the old woman's nonsensical words, Chu Qi bent slightly, stared into the old woman's eyes, and comforted her in a gentle voice: "Old benefactor, calm down, what do you want to tell us, speak slowly. "

Chu Zi's voice is clear and shallow, and after being deliberately lightened, there is a low and gentle gentleness, like the wind blowing in the mountains, which can dissipate the tension in people's hearts.

In this pleasant voice, the old woman slowly calmed down.

Monkey King asked curiously: "Old man, why did you tell us not to come here?"

Hearing this, the old woman let out a long sigh, and then slowly said: "We are at the border of Qingxiao Kingdom, a big monster came here two years ago, and that big monster would send two of his subordinates every six months. A monster came to us to catch people."

"Monster, catch people?" Sun Wukong became a little interested.

Chu Zi thought of the three words that the old woman muttered to herself when she first saw her, and asked, "Are you arresting a monk?"

"It's about arresting monks." The old woman nodded, confirming Chu Zi's guess.But soon she added: "But they are all handsome young monks."

Hearing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help teasing, "That big monster is definitely a female fairy who looks at her face."

"Second Senior Brother!" Sha Wujing patted Zhu Bajie.

The old woman shook her head: "That big monster has never shown up before, no one here has seen it, and we don't know if it's a man or a woman."

"We've only seen two subordinates of that monster," the old woman recalled. "Those two subordinates are a pair of brothers. One seems to be called Jinjiao, and the other seems to be called Yinjiao."

Golden Horn?silver corner?

When Chu Zi heard these two names, she pursed her lips slightly.

He vaguely remembered that the two monsters, Jinjiao and Yinjiao, should live in Pingdingshan, and these two monsters had several powerful magic weapons in their hands. , a character who is dispatched at will.

But according to the old woman's description, the golden and silver horns seemed to listen to the big demon very much.

In the original novel of Journey to the West, Jinjiao and Yinjiao have a godmother, who seems to be a fox. Jinjiao and Yinjiao respect this godmother very much.

But that fox probably wasn't strong enough to let Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao be her subordinates.

After thinking about it, Chu Zi asked the old woman again: "Does the old benefactor know why the monster wants to arrest the young monk?"

Chu Zi's words caused embarrassment across the old woman's face, "Because the young monk Yuanyang is still there, and he is still a boy."

Chu Yu was stunned for a moment, and some did not expect such a reason.But soon he roughly understood that for some monsters with evil intentions, eating people with pure Yuanyang can improve the speed of cultivation and improve their cultivation faster than eating ordinary people.

And here, a monk is an existence who has converted to Buddhism, and a person who has formed a relationship with the Buddha.Those who form a bond with Buddha naturally have a bit more spirituality than ordinary people.

Perhaps it was precisely because of this that the big demon specially asked Jinjiaoyinjiao to pick from among the monks when arresting people.

"Old benefactor, why you let us leave here just now is because you are afraid that I will be taken away by monsters?" Chu Zi's eyes were soft, and there was a bit of elegance in the amber eyes.

The old woman nodded, looked at Chu Yu and said: "Today is exactly six months old, and those two monsters will come to us at midnight. You look so good-looking. If you stay with us, you will definitely I was targeted by those two monsters." After she finished speaking, she looked at Chu Zi several times.

"Hurry up and get out of here!" The old woman glanced at Sun Wukong and the others, then turned her gaze back to Chu Qi, and continued to advise, "Or go back first, after tonight, and come back tomorrow. "

Sun Wukong raised his eyebrows, and a look of sternness and publicity appeared on his sharp-edged face: "Only monsters have always given way to me, and no monster has the right to make me retreat."

He was playing with the golden cudgel, his eyes flashed with interest, "I want to see where the monster is playing tricks."

Zhu Bajie also vowed: "If that monster dares to attack Master, I, the old pig, will be the first to let him go!"

Sha Wujing also nodded with a serious face, "We are Master's apprentices, and we will do our best to protect Master."

Seeing that instead of retreating, the old woman seemed to be confronting the monster, her eyes widened in surprise, "You..."

"Old benefactor, thank you for your concern." Chu Yu said: "My three apprentices are quite capable of subduing demons, and they will not let me have trouble."
