Seeing a holy monk misses life

Chu Zi could feel the firmness and strength of the arm around his waist. His body was rising with Monkey King's flight. He raised his eyes and looked at Qi who held him firmly in the arms. Great saint.

The summer evening wind blew on Sun Wukong's body, under the slightly messy bangs, his originally black and white pupils turned into a dazzling golden color.

This golden color is not Mo Sheng's kind of creepy golden color, but a golden color as strong as a bright sun, like a hot sun, exuding a scorching brilliance.

Sun Wukong hugged Chu Yu with his right hand, stretched his left hand down, and bent his five fingers slightly. The enlarged golden cudgel instantly shrank and returned to his hand at lightning speed.

He put the golden cudgel on his shoulder and swept it downward.

Zhu Bajie swept his legs neatly, and kicked Yin Jiao, who had paused for two seconds because of the appearance of Monkey King and Chu Zi, to the ground.

Sha Wujing swiped the magic-conquering staff, as fierce as a tiger.

And his body is fighting against the snake demon, and the outcome is hard to tell.

This snake demon's movement is very strange, and extremely vicious, every move directly hits the dead point of his split body.The split body with half his strength is very fast, and the speed of this snake demon is not inferior.And Sun Wukong could feel that the opponent hadn't exerted his full strength yet.

Sun Wukong estimated the strength of the big monster in his heart, and used his super dynamic vision to capture the trajectory of the monster's actions.

Zhu Bajie saw that Sun Wukong's body didn't do anything, so he hugged his master in mid-air and looked at them.

Hearing Zhu Bajie's shout, Sun Wukong, who was observing the snake demon's actions from a third perspective and trying to find out the flaws, also gave up his plan to continue his insight.

He's an activist himself.

No matter how careful the observation is, it is better to use the body to actually fight.

But before going down to fight, Sun Wukong needs to do one more thing, that is to take his master Tang Sanzang to an absolutely safe place.

In this way, he can deal with monsters without distraction.You don't have to worry about Master getting into trouble because of his momentary negligence.

As for where this absolutely safe place should be, Sun Wukong already knew in his heart.In a flash of thought, Monkey King called out somersaulting cloud.In the next second, a pure white cloud as soft as cotton candy instantly appeared at Chu's feet.

This soft cloud was about one square meter in size, and it was very light. When Chu Zi stepped on it, it felt like he was stepping on thick cotton.

"Master, I will send you to a safe place first."

"Huh?" Chu Zi knew that somersaulting clouds was the number one flying technique in the world, and one somersault could travel hundreds of thousands of miles away.Now Sun Wukong sends him with somersault cloud, how far is the safe place that the other party said?

Chu Zi was thinking, and soon, Monkey King gave him the answer.

Ten seconds later.

When Chu Qi stood in a tall and straight purple bamboo forest, the misty white mist was pleasant.Smelling the green fragrance, Chu Zi fell silent again.

And the one who was silent with Chu Yu was standing opposite Chu Yu at the moment... Avalokitesvara holding a clean bottle on the left and a willow branch on the right.

Guanyin: ...

Chu Zi: ...

Chu Zi's mood is quite delicate now.

It never occurred to him that Sun Wukong's so-called safe place turned out to be Guanyin's residence.

Sun Wukong's brain circuit seems to be different from that of ordinary people.

But you can't say that there is something wrong with his thinking, because in a certain way, Monkey King's consideration can even be said to be very careful.Because looking at the sky and the earth, the absolutely safe place is indeed the residence of Guanyin.

No monster dares to come to the Purple Bamboo Forest in Chaoyin Cave, and no god is free to bother Guanyin, who is the head of the venerable.

Sun Wukong glanced at his master, and then at Guanyin who was standing opposite the master. Now he can rest assured to leave the master here temporarily, and go to fight the monster.

In fact, Monkey King originally planned to take Master to Shuilian Cave in Huaguo Mountain, but after thinking about it, although the scenery of Shuilian Cave is more beautiful than Chaoyin Cave, he was afraid that those monkeys and grandchildren would be too enthusiastic and noisy. When I came to the quiet place of the master, I thought of the purple bamboo forest.

Purple Bamboo Forest is the residence of Avalokitesvara, not to mention safe, but also absolutely quiet.

Furthermore, Sun Wukong felt that Master would go to the West to learn scriptures because of the enlightenment of Avalokitesvara.Avalokitesvara is the guide of the four masters and apprentices. Since he is the guide, the master needs a safe place to rest for a while, so naturally it should be the purple bamboo forest of Avalokitesvara.

"Bodhisattva, I will leave my master to you." Sun Wukong said to Avalokitesvara, "I will come to pick up master when I surrender that monster." .

He must return quickly and subdue the monster.

This impatient grandson monkey.Guanyin shook her head lightly.

After Monkey King left, only Chu Qi and Guanyin were left in the purple bamboo forest.

Chu Zi pursed her lips slightly, and looked at Guanyin who was taller than him by a few points.Apart from the memories in his body and the last time he tried his Zen mind, this was the first time Chu Qi saw Guanyin in a male body.

Bodhisattvas are all male and female, so it is not false.

The Avalokitesvara in front of him is tall and tall, with a completely manly body, but his face is very handsome, with a clear white gauze tied around his black hair, and a shirt embellished with golden Sanskrit. There is a kind of elegance to the extreme.

Chu Zi took two steps forward, clasped his hands together, and performed a Buddhist salute to Avalokitesvara: "Disciple Sanzang, I have seen the venerable Avalokitesvara." His voice was gentle, his attitude was neither humble nor overbearing, and his gestures and gestures were full of calm and elegance .

Chen Yi is the reincarnation of Jin Chanzi, and Jin Chanzi is Tathagata's second apprentice. Logically, Jin Chanzi's identity does not need to call himself a disciple in front of Guanyin.But now he is Tang Sanzang who has converted to Buddhism, so there is nothing wrong with calling himself a disciple.

Guanyin stared at the handsome white-clothed monk in front of him for a few seconds, then nodded slightly, "Since your big disciple brought you to my purple bamboo forest, you can rest here for a while."

After he finished speaking, he paused, his gaze resting on the monk's neck for a moment.This fair skin is like suet white jade soaked in warm water, but some eye-catching red spots at the Adam's apple have destroyed this delicate smoothness.

Avalokitesvara withdrew her gaze, and said slowly to Chu Zi: "I saw that your clothes are sweaty and you have red spots on your neck, so I will ask Hui'an to take you to Huanxi Qingchi. After bathing and cleaning, all pain and scars can be eliminated."

Chu Qi said thanks: "Thank you, Venerable Guanyin."

Later, Guanyin summoned Hui An.

Huanxi Qingchi is on the north side of the purple bamboo forest, and under the guidance of Hui An, Chu quickly arrived at the side of the Qingchi.

Hui An bowed slightly to Chu Zi, "Holy Monk, please take a bath."

Chu Yu smiled slightly: "Please trouble Hui'an Walker to lead the way."

Hui An looked at the faint smile on the monk's face, and the tips of his ears were slightly red.

For some reason, Hui An felt that compared to the last time he met Master Sanzang, he seemed to look a little better, and there was also a kind of attractiveness about him that made his heart beat faster.

Especially after meeting his eyes, I always feel that there is a misty vortex in those clear glass-like pupils, so mysterious that it seems to be able to suck the person who looks into these eyes.

Obviously Master Sanzang is so gentle, but when he stares straight at you and smiles at you, it seems to reveal some kind of visual aggression that cannot be ignored.

It's hard to look away...

Hui An touched the tips of his ears that were a little hot, put a clean monk's robe aside, and then retreated.

After Hui An left, Chu Qi took off his monk clothes and entered the clear pond of Huanxi River.

When he was in the cave, he broke out in a cold sweat because of resisting the toxin, and his sweat-soaked clothes stuck to his body. This feeling was really not good.But the situation at that time did not allow him to be picky about the sticky monk's clothes on his body.

Right now, his body is soaking in the Huanxi Clear Pool, and the warm water wraps around his skin, seeming to open his pores.

Chu Zi couldn't help closing his eyes, leaning his back against the edge of the clear pool, enjoying the comfort of the gentle water slowly wading across his skin.

He hasn't relaxed as much as he does now for a long time.

Since he dressed as Chen Yi, he traveled westward to learn Buddhist scriptures. Although most of the time he did not sleep in the open air, it was impossible for him to have such a moderately warm pool of water to soak in.

Thinking about it this way, he should thank his big apprentice.

Thinking of Monkey King, the corners of Chu Zi's lips curved slightly.

The time in this world is one month in the sky and one year on the earth.

At this time, Sun Wukong should have returned to the border of Qingxiao Kingdom and started fighting with the snake demon.

The identity of that snake demon is not ordinary, and his strength cannot be ignored, but Chu Qi doesn't think he can beat Monkey King who is strong when he meets the strong.

Sun Wukong is the Monkey King who is not afraid of heaven and earth, let alone gods and Buddhas. He is a born fighter and even a born strong man.Even though he has been bound under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, he is still the invincible great sage, arrogant and rebellious, and gods and Buddhas are helpless.

On the other side, to the east of the Purple Bamboo Forest.

Avalokitesvara stands in the gazebo, looking at the lotus pond in front of the gazebo.

On the blue waves, patches of emerald green lotus leaves embrace the blooming lotus, and the sound of gurgling water blends with the soft singing of cuckoo birds.

Hui An walked behind Avalokitesvara and knelt down to pay respects: "Honor Avalokitesvara, this disciple has honored his master's order and brought the holy monk to Huanxi Qingchi."

Hearing this, Guanyin turned to Hui An and said, "Hui An, go make another pot of tea."

"Clean tea?" Hui An was a little puzzled, he remembered that Venerable Guanyin never drank it.

"En." Guanyin didn't intend to say more.

Seeing this, Hui An didn't ask any more questions, and Fuli accepted the order: "Yes, disciple will do it now."

………………

After Chu Zi took a bath, she changed into the white monk's robe that Hui An put aside.The monk robe fit him unexpectedly, as if it was tailor-made for him.

The fabric of the monk's robe is also softer than his original monk's robe, and the workmanship is several times finer.The neckline and cuffs of the monk's robe are printed with light golden Sanskrit patterns, which are somewhat similar to the patterns on the shirt worn by Guanyin.

Chu Zi stared at the pattern for a few seconds, then followed the path of Huanxi Qingchi and walked eastward.

Not long after walking, Chu Qi smelled an elegant fragrance of lotus. He looked forward and saw Guanyin standing in the gazebo outside the lotus pond at a glance.

This pavilion is very different from the regular pavilion in the human world. It is not so much a pavilion as it is a hollowed-out study.

The ground is cold white jade, and the top is glazed tiles.

Misty white smoke lingers around the short fence of the gazebo, and everything is exquisite and unique, revealing a kind of quietness full of beauty and fluttering in a fairyland.

The direction where Avalokitesvara stands is facing away from Chu. Chu is looking at the back of Avalokitesvara. His black hair is loose behind him, soft and shiny. The white gauze on his head is bound by an exquisite Buddha crown, which sets off the The back is as tall and straight as a clear bamboo.

Chu Zi can see the light-colored golden light surrounding Avalokitesvara, which is his divinity as a bodhisattva to save all living beings.

But for some reason, looking at this tall and slender figure, the appearance of Guanyin pretending to be a woman to test his Zen mind emerged in Chu's mind.

Who would have thought that the shy woman with bright white teeth and smiling sweetly at him turned out to be the compassionate and refined Guanyin who is not far away.

Chu Zi closed her lips lightly, put away the subtle feeling in her heart, and stepped forward.

Hearing Chu's footsteps, Guanyin also turned around slowly.

With four eyes facing each other, Chu's light amber eyes slightly curved, and he greeted first, "Honor Guanyin." The bamboo shadows were mottled, and the halo fell on Chu's face, softening a kind of warmth Yayi.

His slightly bent smiling eyes were shadowed by the thick eyelashes at the end of the eyes, forming a hazy natural black color, so the brows had a more three-dimensional sense of depth.

Avalokitesvara looked at the monks standing outside the gazebo. All the Buddhas can transform into three thousand dharma appearances and change into thousands of faces. Compared with Tang Sanzang in white clothes, they all seem to be slightly inferior.

Tang Sanzang now has a pair of extremely beautiful eyes.

It can attract gods, monsters, and Buddhas.

Guanyin looked away from the other party's eyes, and took a look at the neck. The red spots on it had disappeared, and the porcelain-white skin had a jade-like luster.

"Come." Avalokitesvara nodded slightly to Chu Yu, motioning for Chu Yu to come into the pavilion.

Chu Zi walked into the gazebo and saw the tea on the table at a glance.He walked over, and when he smelled the scent of tea wafting from the steaming tea, the dizzy smile in his eyes became more obvious.

"Sit down and drink, I'll wait here for your big apprentice." Guanyin said to Chu Yu.

Chu Yu didn't delay either. After sitting down, she picked up the tea that had been poured in advance, and shook it gently along the side of the cup to dissipate some of the heat.

Guanyin put the willow branches into the clean bottle, and after waving the clean bottle in his hand to disappear, he walked to the opposite side of Chu Yu and sat down.

Chu Zi raised her eyes and looked at Guanyin who was sitting opposite her, "Your Majesty, don't you want to drink?"

Guanyin shook her head lightly.

Seeing this, Chu Zi didn't say anything more.

He lowered his eyes halfway, put the green tea in his hand to his mouth and took a sip. In an instant, the refreshing tea fragrance slowly flowed into his throat along with the warm water.

Chu Zi's eyes lit up, and he took a few more sips.

At this moment, his attention was all on the fragrant tea, and he didn't pay attention to other things.Or to put it more appropriately, compared to the green tea in his hand, other things are not worth his attention, even if the person sitting opposite him is Guanyin.

And even if Guanyin's gaze is on him, even if the other person's dark eyes that look at him with compassion for the world are full of deeper scrutiny and thinking.

Because of drinking the green tea, Chu Zi's light-colored lips were stained with a little pearl water. This lustrous and translucent color faded the light lip lines, making Chu Zi's lips more beautiful.Like the dewy petals in the summer morning, it reveals a moist feeling that makes people want to lean over and kiss.

Avalokitesvara withdrew her gaze and said slowly: "Tang Sanzang, you didn't put on the tight hoop I gave you as a gift to Monkey King."

Although these words were questionable, his tone was extremely flat, as if he just said them casually without any additional deep meaning.

Hearing this, Chu Zi put down the teacup, "I don't need it." He replied slowly.

He doesn't need to bind Sun Wukong with a magic spell.

Guanyin stared at Chu Zi's eyes for two seconds, as if confirming the authenticity of his words.

Chu Zi let Guanyin watch, his eyes were calm and elegant.

After a while, Guanyin asked: "No need, because you are confident that he will protect you all the way to Leiyin Temple?"

"It's not self-confidence." Chu Zi said, "It's belief."

"Although Sun Wukong has been enlightened, his mind is not stable, and he doesn't obey discipline. The journey to the west to learn scriptures is a thousand miles away. There are many variables along the way. Can you think clearly?"

Chu Yu nodded, and after a pause, he said, "How about the Zen mind between me and the three apprentices, the venerable should have tested it very clearly." There is a kind of quiet and elegant indifference and tenderness.

Guanyin's face was calm, and she didn't show a slight embarrassment because of Chu Zi's words.

Even if she pretended to be a woman and tried to seduce the four masters and apprentices, for Guanyin, it was just a test.Even if Tang Sanzang brought it up now, it wouldn't make him feel any embarrassment.

Putting aside the emotions and desires, as a venerable, Guanyin stands above all living beings. He is compassionate, benevolent, solemn, and saves the world, but in his eyes, all emotions can be empty.

Chu Zi understood this, so when she said this, she was only responding to Guanyin's last sentence, and she didn't think about seeing anything from Guanyin's face.

He picked up the teacup, took another sip of the tea, looked around the pavilion, and finally stopped at the Buddhist scriptures lined up on the shelf.Some of these Buddhist scriptures have been read by Chu Zi, and some he has not.

Guanyin followed his gaze and said, "If you are interested, you can read it yourself."

As soon as he finished speaking, there was a sound of footsteps outside the gazebo.

The visitor is Hui An.

He seemed to have something to report, but due to the presence of Chu Zi, his lips moved slightly, and he finally said nothing.

Until Avalokitesvara asked him: "What's the matter?"

Only then did Hui An say: "Respect, the Jade Emperor of the Heaven Realm invited you to the Heavenly Court."

Guanyin stood up: "That's it, let's go." After he finished speaking to Hui An, he looked at Chu Zi again: "You can wait here."

Chu Zi stood up and performed a Buddhist ceremony of thanks.

After Avalokitesvara left with Hui An, only Chu Zi was left sitting in the pavilion.The surrounding environment is quiet and elegant, and there seems to be a kind of ethereal fairy energy in the air that can purify the soul.

Chu Zi originally planned to look at the scriptures on the shelf, but after he walked over and found pens, ink and drawing paper on the side table, he changed his mind temporarily.

He grinded the ink, picked up the brush, and began to draw on the rice paper.

In his previous life, Chu Zi was quite accomplished in ink painting and calligraphy, so after a short time, a painting took shape in his hands.

Just when the water stains on the ink painting were about half dry, Monkey King came.He stepped on the somersault cloud and landed beside Chu Yu, and then stretched out his right hand towards Chu Yu, "Master, I'll pick you up."

Chu Zi noticed that Sun Wukong had a scar about two centimeters below his right eye. In addition, he also had several abrasions on his face.The hair and the clothes on his body were much messier than when he brought Chu Qi to the purple bamboo forest.

The battle between him and the snake demon must be very fierce.

"Wukong, your injury..." Chu Zi wanted to ask something.

Monkey King didn't care at all: "Small problem." He said to Chu Yu: "Master, you go to somersault cloud first."

Chu Zi nodded, then stretched out her hand and put it in Sun Wukong's palm.

Sun Wukong's hands are bigger than Chu's. There is a thin layer of calluses between his fingertips, and his palms are warm, full of brave and decisive power.

He held Chu's hand, and then exerted a little force, pulling Chu's whole body into a somersault cloud.

Chu Qi stood in front, and Monkey King stood behind.

But ten seconds.

The environment around Chu Zi and Sun Wukong has changed from the purple bamboo forest in Chaoyin Cave to Zijie Temple in Qingxiao Kingdom.

"Master, you are back!"

Zhu Bajie greeted him with joy.

In order to be able to see Master as soon as he came back, Zhu Bajie chose a place with the widest view to stand in the courtyard of Zijie Temple.

He helped Chu Zi down from the somersault cloud, and smiled and said: "Master, you don't even know that Brother Sha and I beat the two monsters, Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao, to the point of crying!"

"Have you subdued these two monsters?" Chu Zi remembered that in the original novel of Journey to the West, the two monsters, Golden Horn and Silver Horn, were not beaten to death by Monkey King.

They were originally the boys who guarded the alchemy furnace by Taishang Laojun, so in the end, Taishang Laojun took them back to heaven to accept punishment.

It's just that these are all descriptions in the original Journey to the West.

Now in this world, the development of the story is completely different. The two brothers Jin Jiao and Yin Jiao are working under the hands of Mo Sheng's snake demon, so Chu Zi is not sure whether the ending of the other party will be the same as the original book. Same.

"Hey!" Zhu Bajie immediately sighed, and replied very annoyed: "When it comes to this old pig, I will get angry!"

"Brother Sha and I were going to exterminate these two monsters that were causing trouble, but at the last moment, Taishang Laojun suddenly appeared. The Laojun asked us to accept him and took the monster back." Zhu Bajie Yue The more angry you say it.

Sha Wujing said from the side: "Second senior brother, there is no way to do this. Who would have thought that those two monsters are actually the fairy children of the Taishang Laojun."

Chu Zi asked again: "What happened to that snake demon?"

However, as soon as he finished speaking, the air suddenly fell into a strange silence.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Monkey King.

Chu Zi also looked at Monkey King.

Sensing Chu Zi's gaze, Sun Wukong tightened his hand hanging by his side, and replied with some reluctance: "I ran away."

did you run away...

Sha Wujing immediately said: "Master, that monster is too cunning! After the senior brother beat him to the point of being seriously injured, he was about to give it the last blow, but the snake demon suddenly summoned thousands of identical black snakes, Then a golden cicada sheds its shell, and after the snake's skin is gone, it gets mixed up among these little snakes and escapes."

Zhu Bajie took Sha Wujing's words, "Fortunately, that snake demon has been seriously injured."

A cold light flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes: "The direction that the snake demon fled is the imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom."

imperial city?

Chu Zi was thoughtful.He still remembered what the old woman by the river said. The king of Qingxiao Kingdom was obsessed with the art of immortality, and he recruited Taoist warlocks everywhere in pursuit of immortality.

After conferring a Taoist priest from Xianzhou Kingdom as a national teacher, the king became more and more obsessed with it, and the affairs of the court were basically left to the sixth prince to take care of.

There are many temples in the imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom, but the snake demon has been staying in this border, so that Jinjiao and Yinjiao arrested monks from this border, and never went to the imperial city.

But now, the direction of escape is the imperial city.

It seems that there are still some secrets hidden in the imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom, and the secrets may be related to Mo Sheng, the snake demon.

If the four of them, the master and apprentice, wanted to continue their journey westward, they would have to pass through the Qingxiao Kingdom to obtain the customs clearance document and exchange document with the seal of the Qingxiao Kingdom.In this way, in order to avoid having long nights and dreams, it is necessary to set off for the imperial city of Qingxiao Kingdom as soon as possible.

Chu Zi was thinking in her heart, at the same moment——

Purple Bamboo Forest.

Guanyin, who had returned from the Heavenly Court, walked into the pavilion and said to Hui An behind him, "Take all the remaining tea."

However, as soon as he finished speaking, his eyes paused slightly when he looked at the desk.

painting?

Guanyin walked over and looked at the flat drawing paper on the desk.

After seeing clearly what was painted on the drawing paper, Guanyin's eyes narrowed for a moment in surprise.Then, as if he had thought of something, a faint smile appeared in his eyes. This smile was like the brilliance of the setting sun, and it was a little more true to the divinity.

Seeing this, Hui An subconsciously stretched his neck to look at the painting.

I saw a tall man standing on a lotus platform in the painting. He was wearing a flowing cloud robe embroidered with Sanskrit. He held a clean bottle in his left hand and held a willow branch in his right. He had a beautiful face and elegant posture. Embellished with thousands of Buddhas.

This is Avalokitesvara in male form.

It is also different from the Guanyin who is dressed as a woman in those portraits widely circulated in the human world.

There are not too many colors used in this painting, but every stroke is outlined very vividly.While expressing the compassion and pity of the Bodhisattva in the strokes of the pen, it also perfectly portrays the inviolable majesty of the Venerable.

Hui An couldn't help admiring the charm.

Soon, he thought that apart from him and Venerable Guanyin, only Master Sanzang had stayed in this pavilion.

So this painting must be the work of the holy monk.

But why did the holy monk suddenly draw such a picture?

Hui An was a little puzzled.

The next second, when he looked back and was about to take down the tea in his hand, he suddenly understood.

It turns out that the painting of the holy monk is a thank you for the tea...

So the smile in the Venerable's eyes was because the Venerable had guessed it a long time ago, and it must be a thank you from Master Sanzang.
