Guide to raising cubs in westbound [Journey to the West]

"But the Buddhist scriptures from the Tang Dynasty?"

When Tang Seng was paying homage to the Buddha statue, a question came from in front of him, and he raised his head immediately.

"Master, this is the Immortal Jinding from Yuzhen Temple at the foot of Lingshan Mountain. I think he is here to welcome us." Sun Wukong introduced.

Tang Monk bowed to him immediately after hearing the words, and the Jinding Daxian returned the gift with a smile and told them that he had been waiting here every year, and finally this year.

"Why are you waiting for us?" Xiao Shitou was lively, seeing his kind smile, he couldn't help but leaned forward and asked.

The Great Immortal Jinding looked down and saw such a spirited little guy, and explained to him: "Guanyin Bodhisattva said that you will come to my place in two or three years, I thought that the holy monks, masters and disciples must be entertained when they come, so Waiting every year."

"Thank you, Great Immortal." After Tang Seng finished speaking, the little guy also thanked him.

Jinding Daxian seemed to like the little guys very much, and took the initiative to hold the little guy's hand and walk in the front when leading them to his Yuzhen Temple.

"Grandpa, are we going to your house to learn scriptures?"

Xiao Shitou knew that they came to Lingshan to learn scriptures, and before Sun Wukong said that he had already arrived at Lingshan, he subconsciously thought that he was going to learn scriptures now.

"I'm at the foot of Lingshan. If I want to learn scriptures, I have to go to Lingshan."

Tong Yan Wuji, Jinding Daxian didn't feel nervous because of his words, but told him with a smile.

"So that's the case, so what are we going to do now?"

"Go to my temple first and eat some fast food, and then go to the Buddha's place after taking a bath and changing clothes."

Tang Seng and the others walked behind, and when they saw the little guy asking and answering questions with the Great Immortal Jinding without any fear, a smile appeared on his face unconsciously.

After a group of people had a fast meal and took a bath and changed clothes at Yuzhen Temple, it was getting late and they could only stay overnight.

Tang Seng got up at dawn the next day, put on the brocade cassock, put on the Pilu hat very formally, and held the Zen stick in his hand.

"Master is so beautiful!"

Xiao Shitou was awakened by the sound of him getting up, lying on the side of the bed, looking at him and boasting.

Thinking of getting the scriptures today, Tang Seng touched his head with a smile and said, "Little Shitou, get up and change clothes."

"it is good!"

Xiaoshi immediately got up, ran to the luggage and turned out the tiger skin skirt.

Seeing him take out the tiger skin skirt that was too small, Sun Wukong couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't wear this again."

In the end, the master and apprentice coaxed the little guy into a new set of clothes that fit him.

The red clothes embroidered with gold threads are very delicate, if worn on the little guy, even the boys under the seat of Guanyin can't compare to him.

When Tang Monk and his disciples packed up and bid farewell to the Jinding Immortal, he smiled and boasted: "Sure enough, he is a true Buddha!"

"And me, do I look good?"

Seeing that Master was being praised, Xiao Shitou approached him and asked.

"It looks so good, I want to keep you in my Yuzhen Temple." The Immortal Yuding joked.

"That won't work, I still have to go to Datang with Master to eat delicious food."

"Then I'll pick you up after you finish eating the delicious food?"

It was rare to meet such an interesting little guy at the foot of Lingshan Mountain, and the Golden Summit Immortal couldn't help but want to tease him.

"I can't do that either. After eating the delicious food, I have to go to Huaguo Mountain with Dashitou! I also want to find Honghong to play..."

"Then you're pretty busy."

Seeing that he had already made so many arrangements before he got the scriptures, the Great Immortal Jinding could not help but stroked his beard with a smile.

"Yes~"

Tang Seng waited for them to finish speaking, then cupped his hands and said, "For bothering the Great Immortal, I will take my leave."

"I'll send it to you."

After Jinding Daxian finished speaking, Monkey King immediately said: "No need to send, my grandson knows the way."

"The words of the great sage are wrong. You recognize it as the cloud road. The holy monk should follow the road."

After the Jinding Daxian finished speaking, he took the little guys and led them off with Tang Seng's hand.But it turns out that the so-called main road is outside the back door of Yuzhen Temple.

"Wow, it's so beautiful there!"

As soon as he came out of the back door, Xiaoshi saw the auspicious light and five colors in the sky, full of auspiciousness.

"There is the Vulture Peak, the Holy Land of the Buddha."

After the Jinding Great Immortal finished speaking, Tang Seng was about to bow down immediately.

"Master, why are you so anxious? It looks close, but it's actually far away. It won't be too late to worship at the top."

After Monkey King finished speaking, the Immortal Jinding walked with them for a while and then stopped and said, "Holy Monk, Great Sage, you just go up this road."

Knowing that he was going back after being sent here, Tang Seng bid farewell to him, but the little guy opened his arms and hugged him.

After parting from Jinding Daxian, they continued to walk five or six miles and suddenly encountered a wide river in front of them.

Tang Seng saw that there was no one around, but the river in front of him was choppy, so he couldn't help wondering: "Wukong, are we going the wrong way? There are no boatmen here, so how can we get by?"

"Master, there is a bridge over there, just pass over the bridge."

As soon as Sun Wukong finished speaking, Little Stone ran over quickly, pointed to the plaque next to the bridge and said: "Lingyundu."

After reading the name of the place, he looked up at the bridge, and opened his mouth in surprise: "Is only one stick also a bridge?"

"This is a single-plank bridge." Sun Wukong said.

The single-plank bridge at Lingyundu is very scary. Even if it is long and narrow, it is also very slippery. It feels difficult to stand on it, let alone cross the river.

Tang Seng looked at the bridge and couldn't help shaking his head: "Wukong, this bridge is impossible to walk, we should change the road."

"This is the reason why you can't go on the right path. Master, look at my old grandson and go first."

After Monkey King finished speaking, he quickly walked up the single-plank bridge, stood on the other side and beckoned them to come over.

"The big rock is really powerful!"

The little guy tried to walk on the bridge after boasting, but Zhu Bajie grabbed him: "The bridge is slippery, and the water underneath is fast. You'd better not go, if you fall, there is nowhere to catch it."

"Then how do we get there?" Little Stone raised his head and asked.

"I'll take you there on a cloud."

Sun Wukong didn't wait for them to cross the bridge, and when he came back again, he heard Zhu Bajie's words, and immediately said: "Idiot, if you don't go on the right path, you can't become a Buddha if you drive the clouds!"

"If you don't make it, you won't make it, anyway, I can't go this way."

After 99 steps, Monkey King couldn't see that he missed the last kick, so he stretched out his hand and pulled him to the bridge.

Zhu Bajie refused to cooperate, and finally failed.

"Let me try~"

The single-plank bridge looks really scary, and the little stone is actually a little bit scary, but I want to try it.

"Idiot, you are not as good as a child."

After finishing speaking, Sun Wukong saw that the little guy had already walked to the bridge, and immediately squatted down slightly to follow behind, spreading his hands to protect his sides.

"Brother Monkey, quickly bring the little stone back!"

There was wind on the bridge, and the little guy's low chassis was not easy to be blown off directly, but because his feet were too slippery, he would sway from time to time, which made Zhu Bajie's heart jump out of his chest.

This kind of single-plank bridge walks too slowly and it is easier to fall. Monkey King did not take people back, but reminded: "Little stones are a little faster."

He was right behind him, Xiao Shitou felt at ease, and trotted obediently.

"Ouch!"

Seeing that he still dared to run on the bridge, Zhu Bajie was so frightened that he didn't dare to speak. He couldn't help but screamed when he saw that he almost fell down on the other side and was supported by Monkey King.

"Am I fierce?" Little Shitou lay in Monkey King's arms, his eyes curled up in laughter with his small chest out.

"sharp."

Just after Sun Wukong finished his praise, the little guy waved to the other side and said, "Second senior brother is fine, come quickly~"

In fact, Zhu Bajie still didn't want to walk on the bridge, but thinking that the little ones would all pass by, he always felt a little ashamed if he didn't.

"Brother Monkey, come and pick me up."

Sun Wukong originally wanted to leave the little stone here to pick up the idiot by himself, but the little guy became more courageous after trying and insisted on going back with him.

After they got back to the other side, Zhu Bajie, who had been prepared, changed his mind again, and stood by the bridge for a long time, refusing to go up.

"It's okay, second senior brother, I'll hold your hand." Xiao Shitou said and held his hand tightly.

"Let Junior Brother Sha go first."

"Second senior brother, you should go first."

When the two brothers gave way, Tang Seng suddenly saw a boat approaching from a distance, and immediately said: "Apprentices, there is a boat coming!"

When Zhu Bajie heard this, he was so happy that he immediately picked up the little guy.

Sun Wukong has sharp eyes, and he can tell at a glance that it is Baozhu Guangwang Buddha, also known as Jieyin Buddha.

As the boat approached the shore, the punter greeted with a smile, "Get on board."

Tang Seng was originally happy, but he was shocked when he saw the boat.

"How can a boat without a bottom ferry people?"

The people on the boat said with a smile that only a bottomless boat can ferry sentient beings.

Tang Seng was still hesitating, but Sun Wukong had already thanked "receiving the Buddha" and pushed his master onto the boat.

Afterwards, Monkey King took the little guy from Zhu Bajie's arms and took him aboard, followed by Zhu Bajie and Drifting leading the horse to carry the load.

Although it is a bottomless boat, it can withstand all kinds of wind and waves, and it is very stable.

Not long after the boat sailed, Little Stone suddenly looked into the river and shouted, "Why did Master fall!"

Monk Tang was still on the boat, he was stunned for a moment when he heard the little guy's words, then he lowered his head and found that there was indeed a person in the river, he was almost not shocked.

"This……"

When he vaguely recognized He Li as himself, Monkey King and the others said in unison: "Master, it's you!"

When Tang Seng was a little confused, the punters smiled and congratulated him for being reborn, and then he vaguely understood something, clasped his hands together and said "Buddha".

When Xiao Shitou heard the Buddha's voice and looked up to find that the master was still on the boat, he couldn't help tilting his head to show a puzzled expression.

"Don't think about it, that's the body that Master took off." Sun Wukong rubbed his hair and said.

After the little guy subconsciously asked some questions related to the physical body, the boat passed Lingyundu safely.

The master and apprentice walked ashore, and the bottomless boat in the river had disappeared.At this time, Monkey King said that the one who just punted the boat was to receive and guide the Buddha, which caused Tang Seng to turn around and worship.

After passing Lingyun Ferry, the Tang monk and his disciples were all light and fast. After a while, they went up to Lingshan and saw Leiyin Temple.

Leiyin Temple is a sacred place of Buddhism, and the Buddha's light shines everywhere. Just standing in front of the mountain gate makes people want to worship.

Outside the mountain gate, there had been four King Kongs waiting for a long time. After the two sides greeted each other, one King Kong went to the second gate to deliver the message.

When they got to the second gate, there were also four great Vajras, and they sent a message to the third gate, indicating that the holy monk had arrived.The news spread to Sanmen and immediately reported to the Daxiong Palace.

After being summoned by the Tathagata Buddha, the Tang monk and his disciples finally entered the hall.

It is considered polite for Sun Wukong to come to Lingshan and make a salute, but today he is with Master, and it is rare to bow to him.

After visiting the Buddha, the Tang monk presented the certificate of customs clearance, and at the same time expressed his intention: "Disciple Xuanzang, following the order of the emperor of the Tang Dynasty..."

After the Tathagata Buddha saw the customs clearance document and returned it to him, he said that Nanfangbuzhou has a lot of things and a lot of people, so there are more greed and more killings.

Of course, the Buddha would not let him make this trip in vain. After speaking, he ordered Anuo and Kasyapa to take them to Zhenlou for a fast meal, and then pass on their scriptures.

After receiving the decree, the two venerables led the Tang monk and his disciples to Zhenlou.

The vegetarian meals in Lingshan are different from those in the ordinary world. They are full of fairy fruits, delicacies, and tea.

"It's delicious!"

Xiao Shitou sat on the chair with a sample in each hand, it was so delicious that he not only shook his head, but even moved his dangling feet.

"Of course it's delicious, these are fairy fruits, you should eat more." Zhu Bajie reminded while eating.

Not only their master and apprentice were enjoying the food, but the two venerables also sat at the table and ate together.

Sun Wukong saw that they were almost eating as much as that idiot, so he reached out and picked up a few dishes and put them in front of his master.

After Tang Seng raised his hand to signal him not to do this, he wanted to rush to get the scriptures, but seeing that the little guy was eating deliciously, he finally held on.

"Big stone, eat this, it's delicious!"

The little guy stood up after eating, and shared the delicious food with Monkey King and the others.

With Zhu Bajie around, the food on the table was wiped out in the end, and there was nothing left.

After the meal, the two venerables led them into the treasure pavilion.

I saw that the treasure pavilion was full of rays of light, full of auspiciousness, and the scripture cabinets were all pasted with red signs for writing scriptures.When Anuo and Kasyapa were introduced, Tang Seng couldn't help showing a joyful expression on his face.

"Amitabha, I also ask the two venerables to grant sutras."

"The scriptures should not be passed on lightly. The holy monk came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty, but what personnel did he bring to us?"

"What is personnel affairs?" Little Stone asked puzzled.

Monkey King didn't explain, but jumped forward and said: "What is human affairs and not human affairs, please stop talking nonsense and spread the scriptures quickly!"

"Wukong." After Tang Seng motioned him not to be rude, he cupped his hands and said, "My lords, forgive me, but the journey is really long, and we didn't bring anything."

After hearing this, Xiao Shitou probably understood that they only gave the scriptures after asking for something.

When the two venerables saw Tang Seng saying that they had nothing to send them, when they were about to say that the descendants of those who passed on the scriptures would starve to death, they heard the little guy say——

"I have something!"

After he finished speaking, he turned around and ran to the side of the luggage to take out a box, opened it and took some things out of it.

Speaking of which, if Tang Seng and his group talk about private money, the little guy is really the richest. Unknowingly, his good things are filled with a small wooden box.

Along the way, Tang Seng insisted on not accepting gold and silver, but he couldn't refuse the little guy's meeting gift from others.In addition, Sun Wukong and the others occasionally found some good things from hunting monsters and gave them to the little guy as toys to play with. He accumulated these possessions without knowing it.

"These are for you, can I give the scriptures to Master?" Xiao Shitou held some gold, silver and jewelry in his arms, as well as a rhinoceros horn.

Anuo and Jiaye didn't expect the little guy to come up with a lot of things, and suddenly felt that Tang Seng and his group were not as good as him.

The little guy has small hands, and the gold, silver and jewels in his arms are worth a lot in the mortal world, but they are not worth looking at in Lingshan, but the rhino horn is considered a good thing.

"Okay, I'll pass on the scriptures."

If it were Tang Seng and the others, Anuo and Kasyapa would have to ask if there was any more, but when it comes to a child, they don't want to be too greedy no matter how thick-skinned they are, so they accept it when they see it.

"Great, Master can learn from the scriptures~"

Little Shitou didn't care about those things, after all, he had already played with them. As for rhino horns, although they were more precious, he still had two in the box.

He didn't care, but Sun Wukong was a little upset, pulling his sleeves and was about to go forward to argue, but was stopped by Tang Seng: "Wukong, when I return to Tang Dynasty, I will tell His Majesty to make up the little stone."

Sun Wukong was persuaded by him, and his expression was still a little ugly.

At the same time, the warriors in Zhenlou and the venerables in the pavilion couldn't help laughing at Anuo and Kasyapa.

"Don't be ashamed! Don't be ashamed! Even children's things!"

Anuo and Kasyapa heard what they said, quickly put the things away and changed the subject: "Holy monk, please come here to receive the scriptures."

After the two venerables finished speaking, they opened the scripture cabinet and took out the scriptures and handed them over. Tang Seng quickly reached out to pick them up. Sun Wukong didn't care about being annoyed anymore, and helped Zhu Bajie and the others together.

"A lot of books!" Little Shitou was not idle, and sighed while helping to hold the scriptures.

There are a total of 35 scriptures. Anuo and Kasyapa retrieved more than 5000 volumes of scriptures and handed them over to them. It took a lot of time just to receive the books.

After passing the scriptures, the group returned to the Daxiong Palace.

Sun Wukong was unwilling to suffer, and immediately sued the Tathagata Buddha, saying that Anuo and Kasyapa asked them for personnel before they would pass on the scriptures.

The Tathagata Buddha said with a smile that he knew about it, and told him a story that when all the monks went down the mountain to chant scriptures for the elder Zhao's family in Shewei State, they only sold three buckets and three liters of gold at a low price.

Judging from this, Tathagata obviously disapproves of preaching scriptures by hand, and thinks that it is too cheap to give it out like this, and it will not be cherished by others.

Although Sun Wukong was still a little upset when he heard the words, he couldn't say anything more.

When the Tathagata Buddha saw him stop, he turned his head and asked Anuo and Kasyapa how many sutras they had passed on, and the two venerables reported them one by one.

"Now delivered to the Tang Dynasty: "Nirvana Sutra" [-] volumes, "Bodhisattva Sutra"..."

No matter what the process is, the result is always good. Tang monk and his disciples got the scriptures as they wished, and they all listened quietly at this moment.

Little Shitou was standing next to Monkey King, but suddenly thought of something, he walked up to Tang Seng and gently pulled his clothes.

Tang Seng cast him a questioning look, and heard him say: "Master, have you forgotten that big turtle?"

"What big turtle?"

"It's the big turtle that carried us across the river."

Sun Wukong was also thinking about the big turtle, but he realized when he heard the river crossing: "You mean the old turtle in the Tongtian River?"

When Tang Seng heard the two key words "Tongtianhe" and "Old Turtle", he almost forgot about it, so he couldn't help but pat his forehead.

"Little Stone has a better memory."

Xiao Shitou's memory is indeed good, but the reason why he suddenly remembered this was because he saw a red fish scale in the box when he brought something to Anuo and Kassapa.That fish scale was obtained by Zhu Bajie from beating the King of Inspiration in Tongtian River, and then gave it to the little guy to play with, so it aroused his memories.

There are two fish scales in total, and the little one was originally given to Hong Haier, but when he left the Banana Cave, Hong Haier returned the one in his hand to him.

Tang Seng finished sighing, and after the two venerables finished reporting the scriptures, he asked Lao Yuan a question.

This is just a trivial matter, the Tathagata Buddha answered him casually, saying that when the old turtle's merits and virtues are complete, he will cultivate a human body.

Tang Monk thanked the old turtle and put his palms together to bid farewell to the Buddha. The Tathagata Buddha explained a few words to let them cherish the scriptures.

"Disciple remember."

Tang Seng bowed his head to thank him, and then led his disciples to lead the scriptures away.

He originally thought that he would have to spend a lot of time on the way home to obtain the scriptures, but who would have thought that the Eight Great King Kong would be there to see him off on the cloud when he came out of the mountain gate.

Not long after they left, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva found out that the 81 difficulties were one more difficult after the calculation, so he immediately told the Tathagata Buddha.

The Tathagata Buddha heard the words and ordered him to make up for this difficulty.

Therefore, the Tang monk and his disciples could go back to the Tang Dynasty directly on the cloud, but the Eight King Kongs who received the sound transmission from the Bodhisattva threw them down halfway.

"Why did we fall?" The little stone didn't fall in the arms of Monkey King, but felt a little strange.

Zhu Bajie sat up from the ground and said, "I probably think we are walking too fast, let's come down and rest."

When Drifting was busy packing his luggage, Tang Seng straightened his hat and said, "Don't talk anymore, let's see where this is first."

Where they were was a bank with a great river ahead.

"Look, there is such a big river there." Little Stone turned his head and looked over when he heard the sound of water.

When Zhu Bajie heard about the river, his first reaction was: "Junior Brother Sha, have you reached your Liusha River?"

Drifting naturally knew where he lived, shook his head and said, "This is not Liusha River, but Tongtian River."

Speaking of which, the two biggest rivers they encountered on the westbound road were Liusha River and Tongtian River.The former crossed the river on a gourd, and the latter was sent by the old turtle to cross the river. No matter which one, Xiao Shitou has a deep memory.

"Everyone says I'm lazy. I don't think the Eight Great King Kong are much better. They agreed to send us back to the Tang Dynasty, but they left us halfway."

"Second senior brother, there is no need to complain, the master has been reborn, and we will take him there by ourselves."

Sand Monk finished speaking, but Sun Wukong smiled and shook his head: "I can't drive through."

The reason why he said this was because he saw that the master's ninety-nine number was not complete, so they were left here.

"We can ride a big tortoise!" Xiao Shitou raised his hand when he heard that he said that he couldn't drive.

Said Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.As soon as his words landed on the shore, the voice of the old turtle came, saying that he had been waiting for years, and today he finally waited for them to come back.

Tang Seng was very happy to see the old turtle, and at the same time he was glad that the little guy reminded him, otherwise he would break his promise.

"I have already asked about the matter you entrusted to me. The Buddha said that one can cultivate a human body after completing one's merits and virtues."

Although this answer seemed to be talking nonsense, Lao Yuan was not disappointed after hearing it, because it at least indicated that it had the possibility of cultivating a human body.

"Thank you, Holy Monk."

After the old turtle thanked them, he asked them to come on his back, expressing that he would carry them on his back again.
