It was the first time that the two parties met, and Wukong was more grateful than respectful to Sanzang... Now the master and disciple have almost a heart-to-heart talk, but it also makes the great sage feel at home. The Buddhas in Lingshan simply regarded him as a hozen. Even if Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva guided him out of trouble, it was mostly in the form of charity. Although he was somewhat close, it was not pure.
On the contrary, Master was sincerely concerned at this moment, and his words were quite majestic, hitting the heart of the Great Sage.
Even though he was the Monkey King who made trouble in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago, and who later attained enlightenment and attained enlightenment, he seems to be just an uncared-for monkey. With such magical powers, a poor monk needs to guide him to the right path. If you become obsessed with evil thoughts, wouldn't you just follow the footsteps of a poor monk?
The poor monk's obsession with the devil has caused a tragedy in the human world. If this great saint's deeds are misread, it may cause catastrophe in the three realms.
Although he has been enlightened by Guanyin Bodhisattva and worshiped under my sect, he still has an unruly temperament. Who knows if five hundred years of hard work have really worn away his ferocious nature?
It's just that consistent suppression is not a good strategy. After my own personal experience, I know that it is better to remove blockages than to block them.
Moreover, the great sage is capable of cultivating the Buddha of Fighting and Victory. Both his talent and his innate nature are quite profound.
This great sage is a man of temperament. As long as we have sincere friendship, we can naturally exchange our sincerity for our sincerity.
After this, both the master and the disciple felt a little closer. Wukong's eyes were sharp and he pointed down the mountain and said: "Master, look, we are here. There is a house in front of us. It looks like it is an old acquaintance of my old grandson." Miles!"
With that said, he quickly walked outside the courtyard gate.
"Wukong, wait a minute, don't disturb others."
The great sage paused when he heard this and said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. This old man must have fed me wild fruits on Wuxing Mountain when he was a child, and he has seen my old grandson."
As soon as he finished speaking, he jumped over the fence made of wood and jumped into the courtyard.
"Wukong!"
Fahai simply called his name, but with a slight emphasis.
The Great Sage smiled coquettishly, restrained himself a bit, jumped out again, waved to the inside and shouted: "Old man, old man, come and open the door quickly."
"I'm coming."
In the yard, a little kid supported an old man with white hair and beard as he walked slowly to the door. Or the Great Sage's back was turned to the two of them. The old man and the little kid couldn't see the appearance of the Great Sage, but they didn't feel weird about it... When he came forward, the mage was in front again, hiding the great sage a little further... The old man even greeted the mage with a smile: "You are..."
Fahai was always a polite monk. Just as he was about to introduce himself, he saw that the Great Sage had already rushed forward and shoved a monkey face in front of him: "Old man, we are..."
"Ouch!"
"Grandpa, grandpa!"
The old man stumbled back, his expression frightened.
Although the little baby was trembling with fear, he still supported his grandfather and refused to let go, so that the old man did not fall.
Fahai felt quite helpless. This monkey acted without scruples and always had its own way. It was indeed difficult to restrain him... But then again, if his nature was restrained, he would not be the Monkey King.
Fahai stopped Wukong and said with a smile: "Don't be afraid, old man. The poor monk is a monk who came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures. This is my disciple... He has supernatural powers, but he is not a bad person."
"Who is he? Where did he come from?" The old man was quite old. He might be a little deaf and didn't hear clearly. Or he might be afraid that he had misheard, so he asked again.
"They are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the East who went to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures."
"Oh, oh...he's from the Tang Dynasty..."
Fa Hai still had some patience, but the Great Sage couldn't bear his temper and pushed forward again: "Old man, we are here to stay..."
He wanted to say something more, but the old man had already sent his grandson to open the door and blocked the great sage's words.
The grandson opened the door, and the old man welcomed the mage in. The great sage, who was holding back his words, had to go and lead the "horse"... In fact, the horse was his hair that changed, and it connected with his mind, but if he stood there at this time He seemed a little dazed without moving, so he took a hand. After walking a few steps, I heard the old man arranging himself: "This elder, you still look like a Tang Dynasty man, but he..."
As soon as these words came out, the Great Sage couldn't hold it in any longer. He loosened the reins and jumped forward, saying with each movement, "I don't look like that? You old man has such a cold expression. I am the Qi who rebelled against the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago." The Great Sage of Heaven has always been under the Five Elements Mountain. When you were a child, you went up the mountain to chop firewood. I even saw you!"
When the old man heard the words, the old things deep in his memory came to mind one by one. When he took a closer look at the appearance of the great sage, he suddenly smiled and said cheerfully: "Ah, yes, yes! The old man was young at that time, and he fed you a few times. A wild fruit."
"Hehe~" The Great Sage smiled proudly and showed off to the master: "Master, I just said that we are old acquaintances, but we haven't seen each other for a long time, but he doesn't recognize me."
"The sacred monkey has been trapped at the foot of the mountain for a long time, and now it has escaped from the disaster...it is a joy to congratulate."
"It's a joy to congratulate, a joy to congratulate~" the great sage echoed.
The old man greeted the master and the apprentice to come in. The old man's family was actually not wealthy. Although he entertained the two with simple meals, it was as rich as the family had not seen in a long time.
Although alms alms are also a kind of Buddhist practice, Fahai has never been a freeloader. Seeing that his little grandson was well-behaved and smart, he passed on a set of methods to strengthen his body... In fact, there are better ones, but he is afraid that his family will not be able to do so. To withstand the subsequent required energy and blood nutrition will be harmful rather than beneficial.
As for Buddhism, not even half of it is taught.
This baby looks like the only child of the old man's family, waiting for him to continue the family line. If because of his words, this baby becomes a monk and enters Buddhism in the future, wouldn't it mean that his family's incense has been cut off?
This is not merit.
After the meal, we had some small talk, inevitably talking about the past when the great sage was crushed at the foot of the mountain and the old man met as a child, which was quite enjoyable for a while.
Unknowingly, it was late at night, and the old man and his grandson went to rest. Fahai and the Great Sage lived in the same room. The Great Sage took out the tiger skin and took the borrowed needle and thread to sew something... but he never thought about it. , completely shapeless.
Fahai took it from the great sage and said, "It's better to come as a teacher."
The great sage saw that Fahai was quite delicate with each stitch, and couldn't help but said: "I didn't expect Master to know such delicate work."
"The poor monk's clothes are all sewn by his own hands...but this is the first time that they are made for others."
This statement is true, both Fahai and Sanzang, all the clothes they wear are sewn by themselves.
After hearing this, the great sage suddenly became very excited. He was about to thank you, but he still felt embarrassed. When he was in trouble, he heard the master say: "Just be careful, I will only teach you this time."
Fa Hai's tone was serious, but the Great Sage was shocked. He felt a slight pain in the back of his head, and he immediately sat up straight, not daring to be presumptuous.
Combining the craftsmanship of the two masters Fahai and Sanzang, the finished product is of course, needless to say, the great sage couldn't bear to take it off after putting it on, he was overjoyed.
At this moment, Fahai suddenly moved his ears and frowned slightly.
Wukong quickly asked: "Master, is there anything important?"
"There seem to be two guests outside the door."
"Guests?" Wukong was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously said: "Within a few miles around, this old man's family is the only one, what kind of guests will be visiting at this time?"
The Great Sage sniffed his nose and said: "But I didn't smell any evil spirit. Master, wait a moment while I, the old grandson, go out and take a look."
