[Journey to the West] Trees fall

After meeting Ao Lie, he went on the Taiping Road for two months, and encountered only wolves, insects, tigers and leopards, not enough for Wukong to take a second look.Time flies, and it's early spring.But I saw that the mountains and forests were green and green, and the grass and trees were green; the plum blossoms had fallen, and the willow leaves were just blooming.

Wukong led Sujiu, and by the way, led Tang Sanzang and Xiaobailong to finish the spring tour.

Today, the sun has set.

Riding on a white dragon horse, Tang Sanzang looked into the valley in the distance, where there were shadows of towers and halls, and the halls were heavy, so he made Wukong say: "Walker, let's go ahead and see where we are going?"

Upon hearing this, Wukong glanced forward and said, "A monastery."

Tang Sanzang nodded and said expectantly: "Since that's the case, let's go and stay overnight." After speaking, he knocked his legs on the belly of the white dragon horse and left first.

Wukong has nothing to do, he lowered his head and saw Sujiu's interested appearance, he held her in a gentle manner, and slowly enjoyed the gratifying spring scene, feeling more and more warm.

Tang Sanzang rode his horse and came up to the mountain gate to watch. As expected, there are layers of palaces and pavilions, one after another, and outside the three mountain gates, there are thousands of majestic colorful clouds;The two roads of pines and bamboos are quiet and secluded without age and discipline, and a juniper is proud and beautiful in color and color.I also saw the high bell and drum towers, the steep pagoda of the pagoda, a monk sitting cross-legged peacefully, and the sound of birds singing trees. (Here is an excerpt from "Journey to the West" No. 16)

It is true that there are few people in the Pure Land, but many famous mountain monks in the world!

Tang Sanzang was deeply impressed by this noble scene, and when he regained his senses, Wukong Sujiu had already walked beside him.

Tang Sanzang glanced at Wukong, but he didn't dare to order him, so he had to look at Sujiu helplessly.Wukong squinted his eyes with a serious face, trying to show the monk that his junior sister is not easy to bully.Sujiu let go of Wukong's hand first, and went to knock on the mountain gate.

There are a lot of gossip and wrongs on this journey to the west, Sujiu doesn't want to make troubles casually to cause criticism to her senior brother, although she is delicate, she is not intolerant.

Wukong looked at the happy back of the treasure he carried on his heart, suppressed the overwhelming anger that made him dizzy, looked at the bright eyes on the horse's back, and couldn't wait to enter the temple for a while. Buddhist monk.

A group of monks came out of the temple gate, and I saw the leader: wearing a left-handle cap on his head, wearing a clean robe, copper rings, double earrings, and a silk belt around his waist.The grass is carried out firmly, and the wooden fish is lifted in the hand.The well-dressed monk muttered sutras in his mouth, and said with a smile: "Where did you come from? I also invite the abbot to enter the door and have tea."

When Sanzang saw him, he got off his horse immediately, walked quickly to the door, and asked a question: "The poor monk is an imperial envoy of the Tang Dynasty in the Eastern Land, and he went to Leiyin Temple to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. It will be getting late here, and I hope to stay at Shangsha One night."

The monk heard the words and said with a smile: "Please come in and sit in, come in and sit in."

Tang Sanzang turned his head and called Wukong to bring the horse in, so he wanted to go into the temple to drink tea with the monk.

Wukong raised his eyebrows, gave Ao Lie a look of "Be more conscious", and then helped Sujiu up the steps, entered the door and followed.

"Wait," a middle-aged monk stopped, "This female benefactor, an important place in Buddhism, doesn't sleep with women."

Su Jiu's eyes widened in shock: "Female benefactor? How do you know I'm a woman?"

The monks were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and there were a few who were not well-educated, and there was a bit of sneer on their faces.

Wukong was not very angry, he was an ant-like existence, it was a shame to look at him a few times, but he dared to show embarrassment to his junior sister... Heh, he was dead?

The middle-aged monk obviously had his own city in his chest, and his expression did not change: "Although the poor monk is old, his eyes are not blind."

Su Jiu was even more astonished when she heard the words: "You monk who cultivates Buddhism, you don't know the Dharma of all living beings, and you have nothing to do with skins?!" After a pause, she changed her face again, showing the radiant expression on Tang Sanzang's face, Sincerely said: "You only believe what you see with your eyes, but don't look at it with your heart, and you are attached to the Dharma, how can you realize it?"

All the monks watching were speechless.

The middle-aged monk asked Su Jiu to rob Sujiu of the blame, and to argue with her again, but the old monk who was the leader before said with a loud laugh: "The benefactor is really a wonderful person who can say such words. Let it go , Opening the mountain gate is just for the convenience of others, if the benefactor does not dislike it, let's come in together."

"In this case, it would be disrespectful."

Su Jiu nodded lightly, took Wukong's hand, and stepped into the temple gate very proudly.

Ao Lie kicked Dada's horse's hooves, and happily followed in.

A group of people entered the mountain gate, and saw the four characters "Guanyin Temple" written on the main hall.Sanzang was overjoyed and said: "The poor monk is grateful for the bodhisattva's kindness, but he has not yet kowtowed to thank him. Now that he has met the monastery, it is like seeing a bodhisattva. It is very good to thank him."

Hearing this, the monks of the Chanyuan ordered people to open the gate of the hall, and invited Sanzang to pay homage.

Then a few people walked to the back, and the host offered tea and arranged a fast meal, and saw two young boys walking from behind, supporting an old monk.The old monk wears a Pilu square hat, the cat's eye stone jewel crown shines; he wears a brocade shirt with a collar, and the emerald hair is shining brightly; star.The face is full of wrinkles, a pair of dizzy eyes, the mouth is closed because of the wind, and the teeth are falling out, and the waist is bent and the back is cramp.

All the monks greeted him and said, "Master Patriarch is here."

Tang Sanzang stood up and greeted him with salutes: "Old Master, disciple salutes."

The old monk gave him a hand, and said: "I heard that the imperial envoy from the Tang Dynasty came here, so I came out to see him."

Tang Sanzang said: "When I first arrived at Baoshan, I was disturbed."

The old monk was helped to sit on the seat by the little boy like an old lord, and looked at Su Jiu Wukong with slightly raised eyelids.

Wukong didn't raise his head, but just focused on Sujiu.He's on fire, what's the matter?It was not easy for his junior sister to be by his side every day, so he could get close to him all the time, but why should he stay in a temple!Just thinking about it, he held his junior sister in his arms as he imagined before, and fed her, but the junior sister said it was an important place in Buddhism, or should he be too presumptuous, and pushed him away, and kept him far away, not allowing him to approach ! ! !Wukong felt wronged in his heart, he didn't get up and smash the ruined temple into two pieces, it was because of his junior sister's face, at this time he didn't want to have any good looks with people who had nothing to do with him.

Sujiu also knew that her senior brother was having a temper tantrum, but no matter what, she couldn't be sticky and annoying in the temple with strict rules and disciplines, and... Sujiu silently pushed Wukong who was close to her side away again. , they were sitting side by side, the futons under them had already been pasted airtight, this thing is still too far... If he really did what he wanted, he should be kicked out of the house.

Junior sister pushed me again! ! !Wukong almost gritted his teeth and burst into tears, and refused to give in to Sujiu's push, and stuck to Sujiu in a daze, motionless.

The old monk saw that Su Jiu and the others didn't give half of face, wanted to get angry, but held back.He is 270 years old, and he has so many virtues. It is difficult for the man to distinguish, but the aura of the girl is a bit bluffing, and it is even more powerful than the aura of the Toutuo he has seen face to face. Really... ...It's really scary for young people, very scary.And... Judging from the shrewd eyes of this old monk who has accumulated money and cultivated in the past two hundred years, this girl should have some good things in her hands.

After judging the situation in this way, the little sullenness on the old monk's face disappeared without a trace, and he only called for the disciples to offer tea.

A little boy walked in through the corner door, holding a plate of mutton fat jade, on which there were four teacups inlaid with gold inlaid with French blue, and another boy, carrying a white copper pot, poured four cups of fragrant tea, and his eyes were full of lust. , taste better than sweet-scented osmanthus.

When Tang Sanzang saw it, he couldn't help boasting: "Delicious food and beautiful utensils are nothing more than this."

The old monk leaned gracefully in the seat, and said softly: "The holy monk came from the kingdom of heaven to see the rare treasures. How can we praise such utensils? Does the holy monk have any treasures, so he can borrow them?" Take a look?"

Tang Sanzang said warmly: "A poor monk cultivates hard, and there is no treasure."

Hearing the words, the old monk didn't mean to despise him, he looked at Su Jiu casually and said, "What treasure does this little friend have?"

When Wukong heard that the conversation turned to Sujiu, he didn't care about getting emotional, looked up at the old monk with twinkling eyes, and said with a smile: "There is no treasure in her family, but there is a cassock in the bag, which is unusual. baby."

He just felt that this temple is a bit weird, Buddhism is mostly pure cultivation, even if there is incense money, it is just to repair the courtyard, and it is amazing to be able to build a golden body for the Bodhisattva.But in this mountain gate, the wealth is too much.If it's a matter of making money, then it's fine, but you absolutely shouldn't set your mind on your own junior sister!Wukong felt that it was necessary to find a reason to teach the monks in the courtyard a lesson.Feeling my conscience and asking, at this moment, is there any reason to change the name to Tang Sanzang?

Hearing this, the old monk's muddy eyeballs lit up twice, and he said happily, "There is such a treasure?"

Sanzang hastily declined and said, "It's just ordinary, it's not enough for the Tao."

Hearing his refusal, the old monk thought that he was stingy, so he said generously: "In my courtyard, there are indeed a lot of cassocks. I have been a monk here for 60 years, and I have seven or eight hundred cassocks." Today, I have a predestined relationship with the holy monk, and let these cassocks see people!"

After finishing speaking, some monks went to open the warehouse, took out twelve cabinets, put them in the courtyard, unlocked them, set up hangers on both sides, pulled ropes around them, and laid out the cassocks one by one.

Sure enough, the hall is full of beautiful embroidery, and the walls are full of silk!

Wukong patted the hem of the clothes, got up to look at them one by one, and said with a smile: "It's good, but it's not as good as Elder Tang's case."

Sanzang bluffed, pulled Sujiu over and asked quietly: "What is this for?" When you are away from home, how can you compete with others for wealth and lose money for nothing?

As soon as Su Jiu rolled her eyes, she guessed what kind of ghost Wukong was playing. Knowing that it made him feel unhappy just now, she wanted to make amends to these monks, so she didn't break it, just cooperated with Sanzang, and whispered: "You Just look at it, with us here, no one will ask for benefits."

With Sujiu's promise, Sanzang steadfastly sat back.These days, he finally understood that if he listened to Su Jiu, even if he failed to succeed, he would not suffer.

Seeing that Sujiu was so well-behaved, Wukong calmed down a little bit of the grievance in his heart, and even made fun of the monks with great interest.

The old monk shook his hands, restrained his greed, and only pretended not to believe it.

Wukong sneered, and as soon as he untied Tang Sanzang's burden, a glow burst out, but it was still wrapped in two layers of oil paper.After removing the paper and taking out the cassock, Wukong shook his hand casually, and the room was filled with red light and the court was full of glory.

When all the monks saw it, they couldn't move their eyes away. For a while, they could only hear big and small breathing sounds.

I saw the cassock: thousands of ingenious pearl pendants, all kinds of rare Buddha treasures; (from the original text)

Seeing this treasure, the old monk became greedy, walked up to Sanzang with trembling legs, raised his hand and said, "I really don't have a chance with this treasure!"

Sanzang asked in surprise, "What's the explanation?"

Two lines of dirty tears flowed down the old monk's face wrinkled like an old woman's, and he sighed: "It's getting late now, I'm old, my old eyes are dim, and I can't see clearly, so it's not a fate!"

Sanzang said, "Light up the lamp over there to see."

The old monk was stunned, and said again: "This treasure is already bright, and when the lamp is lit again, it will become even more dazzling."

Wukong asked with a half-smile, "How are you doing?"

The old monk said: "If the holy monk is kind enough to rest assured, let me take it to the back room, look at it carefully overnight, and return it tomorrow morning, how about it?"

Sanzang was startled, and was about to refuse, but Wukong stopped him and said, "Why not, just take it, and come back tomorrow morning." The second half of the sentence intensified his tone.

The old monk got a promise, he was so happy that he quickly put his cassock into his arms, and he was so anxious that he ignored even a word of greeting, and went straight to the back room.

The monks dispersed, Sujiu leaned close to Wukong, tentatively reached out to hug his arm, and rubbed him flatteringly.Before she opened her mouth to beg for mercy, Wukong hugged her tightly into his arms, so tight that she was buried in his chest, and it was difficult to breathe.

Wukong was full of grievances to say, so he gave Tang Sanzang a vicious look. The threatening Tang Sanzang, who was so intrusive, understood it instantly, and ran to the wing he was allocated, for fear that he would call out if he was too slow. Wukong was killed.

Sujiu moved uncomfortably, wanting Wukong to let go, but the hug was too tight.

Yue Mo also realized that he didn't take care of his junior sister's feelings. With a grimace, Wukong stretched his hands under Su Jiu's armpits, lifted her up, lifted her feet off the ground, and hugged her into his arms. He adjusted a posture that made her comfortable, and remained silent for a long time. .

Well, the stingy man made it clear today that he wanted to wait for her to coax him.
