After dinner, Chu Feng and Hu Erniang took the first step.
Next stop, Guanyin Yuan, the territory of Elder Jinchi who is planning to seize Xuanzang's brocade cassock.
I have to mention here that Guanyin’s influence in the human world is because she is a rare female deity, and people will naturally be close to her. She has thirty-three incarnations, including Thousand-Hand Avalokitesvara, Son-Giving Avalokitesvara, and Basket Avalokitesvara. The constant manifestation of the Holy Spirit in the human world has turned this closeness into deep faith.
If there is an image that is more popular than Buddha in the eyes of Buddhist believers, it is Guanyin. This is just like the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Although Hong Xiuquan was a religious leader, it was actually the Western King Feng Yunshan who developed believers in the early stages, which later caused an imbalance in belief. .
The conspiracy theory holds that Feng Yunshan was ambushed and died by the Qing army at Reiyidu and had a subtle relationship with Hong Xiuquan and Yang Xiuqing.
Of course, this does not mean that the Tathagata will do anything to Guanyin. After all, he is a person who knows everything about heaven and earth, and everything is incomparable to him.
To say this is to show that Guanyin has a huge influence in the human world, which is comparable to that of Tathagata Buddha.
So much so that among the hundreds of thousands of mountains, there are temples that respect Guanyin. This temple is Guanyin Yuan.
When Chu Feng and Hu Erniang arrived, because it was morning, the monks in the temple were still cleaning and sprinkling water. They were very surprised to see a Taoist priest and a Taoist nun appear at the door of the temple.
"What do you two want here?"
A slightly older monk stepped forward and asked.
Chu Feng didn't say anything. He looked at the sky at 45 degrees with his hands behind his back, looking a little unruly.
The older monk had some dissatisfaction on his face. Since ancient times, Buddhism and Taoism have been incompatible. He is already polite enough. Who can this Taoist priest show to him?
The monks who gathered behind started talking all over the place.
"That doesn't make sense. Are you, a Taoist priest, here to cause trouble?"
"A Taoist priest brings a beautiful Taoist nun to the public. At first glance, he is not a serious Taoist priest."
"Go, go..."
Tiger Erniang on the side snorted softly, flicked her sleeves, and a satin parcel fell to the ground. It made a loud sound, and the straps automatically unraveled. It was full of gold bars and gold ingots, about thirty or forty yuan.
The noisy sounds stopped suddenly, and the sounds of swallowing came one after another. There was no way, the ancient temple in the mountains was too hard, there were not even any pilgrims on weekdays, and the monks had already gone crazy from poverty.
The dissatisfaction on the face of the older monk disappeared.
"You two, please come in. The poor monk Huixian will show you the way."
"Um"
Chu Feng still looked proud as he entered Guanyin Yuan carelessly.
As expected, the buildings inside are all very old.
"this way please"
Huixian walked in front, with a smile on his face, and led Chu Feng and Hu Erniang into the best wing of Guanyin Yuan.
"The master of the hospital has gone out. I don't know when he will be back. You two need to rest first!"
Huixian clasped his hands together, bent down, and left.
In the room, Chu Feng found a futon and sat down, the unruly expression on his face disappeared.
"Guanzhu, what should we do next?"
Tiger Erniang asked doubtfully.
"Don't be in a hurry. Eat your food in one mouthful and moisturize it quietly. That's the way to go."
Chu Feng said calmly.
Hu Erniang said oh and sat down quietly next to her.
When it was almost noon, Elder Jinchi, the master of Guanyin Yuan, appeared. He was probably too old and was trembling when he walked. If Huixian hadn't supported him, a gust of wind might have blown him away.
"You two, I've been waiting for a long time. I wonder what I can teach you here?"
The elder Jinchi, who was very old, had a very good attitude not only because Chu Feng and Hu Erniang looked young.
Chu Feng lost his previous aloofness and stood up, straightening his Taoist robes. He first gave a warm smile and then said politely: "I am going to stay here for a few days."
"It's that simple"
Elder Jinchi's cloudy eyes were full of astonishment. He thought these two people had something important going on.
"The only thing I have is that she and I share a room."
Chu Feng pointed at Hu Erniang and said.
"Ok, Ok."
Elder Jinchi agreed wholeheartedly.
After chatting for a while, Elder Jinchi and Huixian left.
Not long after, a monk brought vegetarian food, but neither Chu Feng nor Hu Erniang ate it.
After dark, Chu Feng and Hu Erniang had a dispute.
"I do not go."
Tiger Erniang's attitude was very firm.
“But there is only one bed here”
Chu Feng pointed to the only hardwood bed in the room, feeling a little headache.
"If I don't treat you as a man in my heart, you are not a man. You treat me as a goblin in your heart, but you treat me as a woman in your mouth. It's just a little bit different."
Tiger Erniang used what Chu Feng said to Xuanzang during the day to block Chu Feng.
"Whatever you want, Pindao wants to experience a normal life again for a few days. If you insist on staying, you can't meditate and be an eyesore. Where you sleep is up to you."
After Chu Feng said that, he went to bed and fell asleep directly.
The corner of Hu Erniang's mouth raised slightly, she took out a rope from Qiankun in her sleeves and threw it, connecting the two walls straightly. Then he took off his loose Taoist robe and was only wearing a moon-white robe. Like the little dragon girl, she lay lightly across it, leaning on her neck with one hand, and closed her eyes, like a figure in a painting.
When the moon reached its peak, everything was silent, and an old voice appeared in Chu Feng's mind.
"Little friend, come out, someone wants to see you."
Chu Feng's soul left his body and followed a white light point out.
After flying out of Guanyin Temple, we arrived at a hill about 300 meters away forty or fifty miles to the south. The dignified and elegant Guanyin, dressed in white, stood quietly.
This was going to be a showdown, Chu Feng felt a little uneasy.
"Chu Feng, Taoist Master Chu"
Guanyin has a faint smile on her face, which makes people a little unpredictable.
"It turns out he is a Bodhisattva, and he is a poor Taoist."
Chu Feng bowed honestly.
Guanyin nodded with a gentle tone.
"The poor monk met with Laojun before he came here and discussed your matter. It happened that Xuanzang went west to obtain Buddhist scriptures and only arranged the eighty difficulty. If there is one difficulty missing, you will do the eighty-one difficulty."
"It's the 81st difficult thing for a poor person to do"
The expression on Chu Feng's face was very exciting. He never expected this result. He thought Guanyin came to warn him specially. He really responded to the sentence - surprised or not, unexpected or not.
"The poor monk has informed Xuanzang about this. You will be each other's disaster from now on."
After saying these very Zen words, Guanyin disappeared.
Chu Feng faced the air, bent down and made a gesture, then went back.
The next day, around Chen time, voices came from outside. Chu Feng knew that Xuanzang and Sun Wukong were coming, so he called Hu Erniang out.
When the two sides met, Xuanzang's expression was as wonderful as he wanted.
"You...how did you-"
"What are you? You follow me wherever I go. What do you want to do?"
Chu Feng slapped him backwards, his face full of displeasure.
"Poor, poor..."
Xuanzang stuttered again.
