Mobile Meal Ticket as a Great Sage [Journey to the West]

Tao Zhen followed Guanyin and walked all the way back to the lotus pond.During this short journey, she imagined countless questions that might be asked, and the more she thought about it, the more uneasy she felt.

"Bodhisattva," Tao Zhen summoned up her courage, "Did you know from the beginning that I followed the elders?"

Avalokitesvara stopped at the corner of the lotus pond, smiled slightly and said, "Come over here."

Taozhen didn't know, so she stepped forward according to the words, and looked towards the pool water in the direction that Guanyin's hand was pointing——

"This..." She froze.

The water in this lotus pond does not have the slightest wave, as if it cannot be moved by the wind, it is as flat and quiet as a large mirror, in which Tang Seng, Zhu Bajie and Drifting Monk are clearly visible, and of course, there are those who have just turned back from Mount Putuo Sun Wukong.

She was so alive that she seemed to be standing in front of her eyes, Tao Zhen couldn't help but want to reach out her hand.

After she regained her senses, she only felt shuddering, and layers of cold sweat appeared on her back.

All the way to the west, the actions of Tang Seng and the others were seen by Guanyin.Nothing can be concealed about what was said or done.

And she was temporarily blind a few days ago, so she failed to discover the mystery of this lotus pond until today...

"If you want to see me these days because you want to ask this, then this is the answer."

Tao Zhen pondered for a moment: "Actually...not all of them. Bodhisattva, because I have heard a lot about the Great Sage from a friend before, I have always been curious and longing for it, so I begged the Great Sage to bring me back when I met him in the Peach Blossom Forest last time. I am on the road, wanting to see the Buddhadharma and the scenery along the way. It’s just that there may be many mistakes in following rashly, and I ask the Bodhisattva to forgive me.”

However, Guanyin's answer was beyond Taozhen's expectation.

"There's nothing wrong with that."

Avalokitesvara sat down on the lotus platform: "Seeking the scriptures from the Western Heaven is to spread the Dharma and influence people's hearts. Since the Buddha can influence you and make you devote yourself to the Buddha, it is also a good thing."

This made Tao Zhen feel guilty.

Turning the subject, Guanyin asked, "Do you recognize Tang Priest's white dragon horse?"

"I recognize it. I used to live in Taolin not far from Shepan Mountain, and later met Xiaobailong by chance. But at that time, I didn't know that he was the Third Prince of the Dragon."

Avalokitesvara nodded slightly, and asked again: "Is the incense in Taohua Temple in Taohua Town dedicated to you?"

"This..." Taozhen shook her head in embarrassment, "Not really." Then she honestly explained how she teased those dudes, "But I also benefited from the incense, so I made a lottery Sincere people seek peace of mind."

"You have a clear distinction between what you like and what you hate." Guanyin smiled slightly.

Tao Zhen recalled what the Great Sage had said before, and hurriedly said with a little embarrassment: "I heard from the Great Sage that this may offend Yuelao, if it is true, Tao Zhen will feel really sorry."

"He won't blame you."

Guanyin's words were too firm, Tao Zhen raised her head in some puzzlement.

"Do you still remember who enlightened you back then, making you cultivate a human form in advance?" Guanyin asked without answering.

Tao Zhen thought for a while, and immediately realized: "Yes——Yue Lao?"

"Exactly."

It turned out to be Yuelao.Tao Zhen was silently amazed in her heart.

Guanyin looked at the girl in front of her, with a deeper smile on her lips: "Then what are you going to do in the future? Return to Peach Blossom Town?"

This question suddenly stopped Tao Zhen.

Now that her eyes have healed, she should really think about her future.She was hesitating, so she heard Guanyin say: "Even if you have made up your mind, you can't rush away for the time being. After all, it is not ordinary smoke that burns your eyes. Today, you need to wash your eyes with pool water for a period of time before you can truly recover. If you don't have an answer in your heart, then take advantage of these days to think carefully."

Tao Zhen was overjoyed, and subconsciously asked: "Then this lotus pond... can I see it on weekdays?"

"Naturally." Guanyin laughed, but she didn't look surprised, as if she had expected this sentence.

Tao Zhen felt a little better.Although she only spent a short period of time with her master and apprentice, she was already very reluctant to part with him, especially for the Great Sage... Thinking of this, her eyes were a little sore.

However, it is a consolation to be able to get a glimpse of some scenes from this pool without being able to study scriptures in the west together.

She bowed her head and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva."

Partition guessing...

Looking at the picture in the mirror pool, Tao Zhen couldn't help laughing.The tricks that the great sage used when fighting wits and bravery with the monster were really troublesome.

But if she watched it as a bystander, she would only find it interesting.

The Immortal Yangli pointed at the cabinet and swore, "Here is a fairy peach!"

The monkey leaning on the Yinhong palace pillar lazily folded its arms around its chest. Hearing this, he grinned lightly and looked malicious. Then he looked at Tang Seng and signaled him to speak.

Tang Seng lowered his eyes to hide his guilty conscience: "It's not a fairy peach...but a peach pit."

"How could it be a peach pit! I personally picked the fairy peach and put it on the plate. This time, the national teacher guessed it." The king hurried down the steps as he said, wanting to solve the mystery quickly.Unexpectedly, when I opened the cabinet, it turned out that it was really just a single peach pit!

Monkey King no longer concealed it this time, and he and Bajie Drifting laughed gleefully.

Taozhen laughed muffled, she knew that the peach was eaten by the Great Sage.

After clearing up those national teachers who were causing trouble, the master and apprentice went on the road again.Before walking far from Che Chiguo, Bajie suddenly leaned over and bumped into Monkey King.

The latter frowned and looked over: "What are you doing, idiot?"

"Brother Monkey," Zhu Bajie touched the corner of his mouth, "How does the fairy peach from King Chechi compare with the peaches from Peach Girl's tree?"

Sun Wukong's expression froze, he turned his face away and didn't answer.

"Brother Monkey, don't be a boring gourd!" Zhu Bajie insisted.He regretted that he didn't eat the fairy peach.

"...No comparison."

Finally, Sun Wukong held back for a long time and uttered three words, and then went to the front to lead Tang Seng's horse.

Tao Zhen who was sitting by the pool was in a daze, and subconsciously raised her hands to cover her hot cheeks and ears for a while, as if she would be seen by the people in the mirror pool if she didn't do so.

Three months passed like this in the blink of an eye.

For a whole season, it should be summer and autumn outside, but the purple bamboo forest is still the same, nothing has changed.

In fact, two months ago, Guanyin sent a boy to tell her that there is no need to wash her eyes with pool water, but she didn't mention any words to stay. Taozhen asked tentatively, and the boy said that Guanyin left Mount Putuo and went to It's not clear when He Xi will come back, so she can't answer Tao Zhen's question.

"But the girl can also stay for a while, and it will not be too late to ask the Bodhisattva when she comes back."

So Tao Zhen continued to stay with the cheek.

One day after three months, Taozhen was taking a rest in the shape of a tree, when suddenly someone called softly: "Peach girl."

She opened her eyes in a daze, and the boy standing in front of her was the boy who saw her face to face all day long.Seeing that she was awake, the boy smiled and said, "The Bodhisattva is back, let me invite you to come over."

When he walked to the lotus pond, Guanyin turned around as if feeling something.Tao Zhen thought that she would ask herself if she had already considered where to go, but she didn't expect it to be: "Tang monk, master and disciple are in trouble, I am going to help them, if you are interested, please come with me."

Tao Zhen didn't have time to think about why the Bodhisattva brought her with her, and when she heard "difficulty", she got confused.

As soon as the breeze blows, Taozhen suddenly realizes that Tang Monk and others have traveled to Tongtian River in the past few days, and the Bodhisattva should be going to subdue that carp spirit right now.

Thinking of meeting the Great Sage, she became inexplicably nervous.

...What are you nervous about?Tao Zhen despises herself in her heart.

The cloud under Avalokitesvara's feet is very well-behaved. Not only is it flat and stable, but it seems to be able to block most of the wind around him, so that it won't make people describe it as a mess.But Tao Zhen missed the Great Sage's somersault cloud by accident.

"It's just ahead."

His thoughts were suddenly interrupted by this sentence.Tao Zhen looked under the clouds, just in time to have a panoramic view of all the scenes.

Monkey King was impatient, thinking about how to lure the monster out, when suddenly he heard a laughing voice from mid-air: "Wukong."

He looked up and saw that the person who came was a little surprised: "Bodhisattva?"

However, when he saw the pink and white figure beside Guanyin, he was completely stunned.

... Peach Tree Spirit? !

Tao Zhen's gaze moved away silently as soon as she touched the monkey under the cloud. She didn't know what she was guilty of, and even the roots of her ears felt slightly hot.

It was not until Avalokitesvara used the fish basket to take away the carp spirit that Monkey King regained his composure, clapped his hands together with a complicated expression, and said, "...Thank you Bodhisattva."

"You don't ask me why I brought her here?" Avalokitesvara asked.

Tao Zhen subconsciously looked at the Bodhisattva standing a few steps ahead - she also wanted to know the reason.

Sun Wukong paused, then shook his head: "I don't know."

"Taozhen is going west with you sincerely, so she deserves to endure all kinds of disasters along the way. Everything is her fate. If she chooses the cause, she will bear the result." Guanyin smiled, as always, with a compassionate look, "She has one heart Xiangfo, I will not stop, and you... Wukong, let me ask you, can you protect Tang Seng?"

He can protect it, and he must be able to protect it.Sun Wukong didn't answer.

Guanyin seems to have understood it: "If you feel that you can't protect him one day, you refuse to escort him. Isn't it because you are deliberately avoiding tribulation and disaster?"

Tao Zhen at the side was a little dazed: "Bodhisattva..."

"You stay by the mirror pool every day, I already know that." Guanyin turned around, "This is the path you chose, no matter what happens in the future, there will be no more complaints, and it is absolutely impossible to give up halfway. , must follow them until they obtain the scriptures."

"——just as the punishment you got for playing some tricks earlier, would you like it?"

Taozhen came back to her senses, embarrassment, joy and excitement surged up in her heart successively. It turned out that the true thoughts in her heart had already been seen by the Bodhisattva.

She felt a little more solemn in her heart, and replied without hesitation: "I am willing."

After finishing speaking, he remembered the phrase "the punishment for playing tricks", and asked with some trepidation: "Bodhisattva, you... don't ask me how—" How did I know those things, and how did I know the way to crack them.

However, Guanyin smiled and said: "Go."

As soon as the words finished, the cloud under Tao Zhen's feet supported her and flew steadily towards the ground. The ones who were getting closer to her were the pair of dark golden eyes of the Great Sage, as well as her somewhat dazed face.

On the first night after the reunion, Tao Zhen had a dream when she fell asleep in her original form, which was exactly the one she had dreamed halfway before.This time the dream was finally complete.

The silk floating in the air became smoother, no longer floating in layers like waves, and one side was facing her steadily.

Tao Zhen stretched out her hand, shaking her fingertips lightly, the next moment, strands of light flowed out from her fingertips, and penetrated directly into the silk.

But in an instant, a few words slowly emerged on the silk.

is a riddle.

She stared at those words and recited silently several times. Before she could think of the answer, she suddenly woke up from the dream with a trembling all over.

Taozhen stared blankly at the figure in front of her, and gradually regained her consciousness—it turned out that the Great Sage held her peach branch again, and that's why she woke up.

By this time the sky was bright.

"Great Sage..." As soon as she yelled these two words subconsciously, the riddle in her dream suddenly appeared in her mind, this time Tao Zhen solved the riddle almost without much effort.

……monkey?

monkey? !

"Peach tree spirit." Sun Wukong looked around at the luxuriant branches of the peach tree, then moved closer, Jin Tong stared at her, raised his eyebrows, and grinned mischievously.

"—a bite for my old grandson?"
