The Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain is a rare paradise in the Three Realms.
Being able to be established as a dojo by Zhenyuan Immortal, and the ginseng fruit tree gathering spiritual energy, the master and disciples benefited a lot from just one night's short practice.
However, cultivation does not happen overnight. It requires continuous hard work day and night. Unless you live in the Wuzhuang Temple for a long time, it will not be worse than a day or two.
Fahai smiled, maybe they were just saying polite words, so he declined lightly. Sure enough, the two fairy boys stopped mentioning this matter.
Several people had breakfast, Mingyue helped Bajie clean the kitchen, Xiao Bailong went to explore the way, Sha Monk packed his luggage, Qingfeng chatted with Master Sanzang——
"Wukong."
"Master." The Great Sage stepped forward to obey the instructions.
"Bring me some firewood and rice money."
"Yes." The Great Sage made some calculations in his mind, took out some money from the package, and handed it to Qingfeng: "My master and disciple have eaten a lot of rice from your family, so these rights should be used as extras."
"Master, you must not do this!" Qingfeng repeatedly pushed back: "How can a host entertain guests and then collect money back? If master knows about it, I am afraid that we will have to be beaten... Master wants to trap Qingfeng into injustice. Huh?"
Seeing that Qingfeng was resolute, Fahai stopped holding on to the stalemate and thanked him again: "Since he said this, it turns out that the poor monk has lost his mind... Wukong, put it away."
Qingfeng said hurriedly: "That's right! The Master is a virtuous and eminent monk with a high moral integrity. I really admire him... but he shouldn't underestimate us with this wealth."
"That's true, that's true." The great sage put away the money and said with a smile: "The so-called friendship between gentlemen is as light as water, and besides, we also have similar interests... We should not let this copper smell and tackiness tarnish Xuan Xuan. Men Qingguang...Old Sun will put it away now."
Qingfeng looked at the bulging luggage and suddenly asked curiously: "Since the Master is a walking monk, how can he still carry so many belongings with him?"
He thought to himself, yesterday the third prince said that they were walking monks and had nothing to gain... Is this really just a pretext for leaving the ginseng fruit behind?
"The fairy boy doesn't know." Wukong jumped in front of Qingfeng and said: "My master has always loved punishing rape and eradicating evil. He has conquered many robbers and monsters along the way. These are theirs...not our wealth. .”
"Since it's in your hands, why do you still say it's not yours?" Qingfeng asked again.
"This is ill-gotten wealth and should not have been taken by us... But if we throw it away in the wilderness, wouldn't it be a waste?" The great sage clasped his hands together and said, "Master is so merciful that since these goods have been looted, To the people, this time we have obtained it, we should disperse it among the people... So we walked all the way, scattered all the way... When we arrived at the boundary of your Longevity Mountain, I think it was protected by Zhenyuan Immortal, so the people's customs were simple, which is true. It’s rare for anyone to do evil things. Although not all the people are from rich and well-off families, they can still have enough food and clothing... That’s why these treasures have not been dispersed and have been kept until now.”
Qingfeng was in awe. He bowed to Master Tripitaka and said, "Young man has long heard about the ways of collecting incense and making money in Buddhist temples. Only when you meet the holy monk do you know what a great Buddhist virtue is... I also ask the holy monk to forgive Qingfeng Wujuang again, I actually slandered the holy monk in my heart over and over again... I feel extremely ashamed."
He even changed his title.
"Fairy boy, please don't do this." Fa Hai supported him, "We walk in the world, do something and don't do something... we just want to have a clear conscience."
"How many people in the world can understand these four words: a clear conscience?"
Fahai is also very magnanimous. Even Qingfeng, who has always had his eyes set high above his head, can't help but be impressed by him now.
A few people chatted for a while, briefly talking about interesting things on the westward journey, and the atmosphere became more harmonious.
Not long after, Xiao Bailong had returned from exploring the road, and Sha Monk also packed his luggage. Bajie and Mingyue packed the kitchen and took some dry food for consumption on the road.
Nowadays, there are more and more luggage, and it is not easy for Bajie to carry it alone. The Great Sage and Sha Seng have shared some of the burden for him.
The Great Sage was in charge of money packages, Sha Monk was carrying clothes and luggage, and Bajie was carrying pots, pans, and various rice grains... He had packed this set of utensils from a bandit's den... After all He is the only one who eats the most, and the master never cares about food, so he has no choice but to rely on himself.
Along the way, I cooked pots and rice, and naturally I developed good cooking skills.
Looking at his fat head and big ears, all the diners will feel at ease once they stand next to his stove.
Because Bajie is getting better and better, there is no need to deliberately "bully" him. The brothers help him share some of his luggage. It is not a big deal, it is just a matter of deep brotherhood.
Fa Hai was very happy to hear about this. On the way to obtain the scriptures, there were obstacles from immortals and Buddhas, and coupled with his unwillingness to seek perfection, he was afraid that it would be difficult for him to follow. If the five of them could not work together... it would be difficult for them to reach the Western Heaven. .
Therefore, Fa Hai became more and more curious. If he had never been here before, how could Master Tripitaka himself have gone to this Western Heaven?
"Thank you two fairy boys for your hospitality. I will take my leave now."
Qingfeng and Mingyue sent the five masters and apprentices out of Wuzhuang Temple, feeling quite reluctant to leave. The breeze grabbed the cassock on Fahai's arm and said, "Holy Monk, the story of subduing the black wind monster just now has not been finished yet... If the Holy Monk comes back from Buddhist scriptures and passes by my temple, please come in and sit down. Let me drink a cup of tea... and let me listen to the whole story. It is uncomfortable to hear half of it and stop it."
"Since it is the invitation of the fairy boy, the poor monk will keep it in mind... After obtaining the scripture, he will come to the temple to visit."
There is no banquet in the world that never ends, let alone the friendship between gentlemen, let alone morning and evening.
The five masters and apprentices headed west, enjoying the beautiful mountains and scenery.
However, it was said that the Great Immortal of Zhen Yuan had finished his sermon by Yuan Shi Tianzun and had left the meeting. He led all the immortals out of the Immortal Palace, went down to Yaotian, and floated on the auspicious clouds above the gate of Wuzhuang Temple in Wanshou Mountain.
The Great Immortal was about to set his clouds down when he saw two people, Qing Feng and Mingyue, standing in the middle of the road, looking to the west. He didn't even notice that his master had returned. He felt strange in his heart... He deliberately covered his whereabouts and cast With a light step, he quietly landed behind Qingfeng and Mingyue.
"What are you two looking at?"
"I am watching Master Tripitaka and his disciples go west." Mingyue answered honestly.
Qingfeng took a breath of cold air. His figure had begun to tremble slightly. Seeing that Ming Yue was not aware of it, he pulled Ming Yue's sleeve...
"Senior brother, don't make trouble." Mingyue said again: "You should think about how to explain it to Master when he comes back."
Qingfeng stopped moving.
"Oh? What did you tell me? But you bumped into the distinguished guest?"
"We had a great conversation. Although there were some inappropriate words, they have been resolved long ago...Uh...Master...Master?!" Mingyue's voice became smaller and smaller, and he caught a glimpse of his senior brother next to him. With an expression of resignation, he slowly twisted his neck back... What could he see if it wasn't Master's face?
Snap!
Mingyue knelt on the ground and said, "Disciple welcomes master back to the mountain."
After saying that, he also pulled Qingfeng, who was standing alone.
Qingfeng:...
The two brothers can be said to have a grudge against each other.
"Disciple welcomes master back to the mountain."
What can Qingfeng do?
You can't really just stand there without saluting, right?
"Get up." Immortal Zhenyuan asked for a hand. After Qingfeng and Mingyue stood up, the Immortal said to the disciples in the cloud: "You all should disperse."
"yes--"
All the little immortals agreed and dispersed in all directions.
"Tell me." After everyone dispersed, Immortal Zhenyuan smiled and said, "What exactly did you commit?"
Qingfeng lowered his head and said: "We have not entertained Master Tripitaka as instructed by Master..."
"Elaborate."
Qingfeng paused and said: "It's also my fault that we tried to figure out Master's thoughts without permission. It's because Master happened to listen to Yuanshi Tianzun's sermon today in order to avoid this eminent monk... So from the beginning, the two of us started talking A feeling of contempt."
Mingyue said: "This is the first mistake."
Zhen Yuanzi said in his heart: What you said... is actually correct. This is not your fault for waiting, it's just a slight negligence, it's not a big deal... As long as you send them off safely today, it will be your credit.
But he could think this in his mind, but he couldn't say it outright.
"Well -" Zhen Yuanzi said in a deep voice: "Since you know that he is my distinguished guest, you still dare to be disrespectful. You are naturally slacking off... I won't do it next time. What's the second thing?"
Huh?
Hearing the master's stern tone, but not angry, Qingfeng was a little confused, but he could only continue: "But after a short period of getting along with each other, the disciple discovered that Master Tripitaka is really a great monk, and all his disciples are extraordinary. , are really the leaders of the three realms... That is why the disciples and junior brothers only focus on talking to them... but forget the master's instructions."
"What's the order?" Immortal Zhenyuan asked.
Mingyue took over the words: "Master, have you forgotten too? Didn't you ask us to pick two ginseng fruits to entertain Master Sanzang? We must not neglect it? We both forgot about this -"
When Immortal Zhenyuan heard this, he felt something was wrong... It would be fine if he just said "Master Sanzang is a great monk", but when he heard "all his disciples are extraordinary, they are really the leaders of the three realms", he felt a little surprised. Got a little confused...
Seeing that the master was silent, Qingfeng knew that...the master was afraid that he was really angry, and wanted to use words to excuse himself and Ming Yue, "Master, don't be angry yet..."
Mingyue lowered her head and said in a deep voice: "What really makes you angry is still behind..."
After listening to the words of these two children, Immortal Zhenyuan was quite dumbfounded and said, "Could it be that you have angered that grandson monkey and caused him to behave in a disorderly manner?"
Qingfeng and Mingyue both raised their heads, and Mingyue asked curiously: "Why does Master speak like this? Although Sun Dasheng is not very stable and sometimes speaks sharply, he is also a straightforward person... Although he looks a bit harsh, he is also You shouldn’t recognize people by their faces. He learned that there is a scripture-collecting pavilion in our temple that does not allow outsiders to enter, so when he came, he went inside to study the scriptures... We never provoked him, and he never showed any barbaric behavior. "
Qingfeng also nodded and said: "Sun Dasheng is diligent and studious, but my junior brother and I are lazy every day... It's just a matter of time. No wonder he was able to achieve the fame of the Monkey King. We have also lived for a thousand years, but we have only been working under the master's door. .”
"He went to the Sutra Library to study scriptures?" Zhen Yuanzi's curiosity was aroused again.
