Household affairs in heaven have nothing to do with "Master and Disciple Tripitaka" for the time being.
Perhaps when this matter comes to an end in the future, their master and disciple will be invited to be witnesses, but now, Fahai handed the acquired human seed bag left by the yellow-browed boy to Wu Jing, "This time I can't wait." Here comes Maitreya Buddha."
It is said that their master sent the yellow-browed boy into reincarnation and it was a good thing that Maitreya Buddha did not show up. However, both Fa Hai and the Great Sage seemed a little disappointed.
The Great Sage heard the Master's words and said, "Perhaps what the yellow-browed boy said is true. His coming to Xiaoxi to set up an ambush was his own doing, not the instigation of Maitreya Buddha."
Just like a heavenly slave.
What Tiannu did was not instructed by the Jade Emperor, but the Jade Emperor was aware of it.
But for Tiannu, who was hiding in secret and plotting without any lower limit, the yellow-browed boy still had some sense of restraint and could harm innocent creatures.
And the last bite he made was his own doing. Regardless of whether he was determined to cover Maitreya Buddha or not, he was actually somewhat responsible.
The Great Sage looked at the almost destroyed attic behind him and sighed softly.
The Maitreya Buddha did not show up, and the yellow-browed boy was also thrown into reincarnation. It seemed that this matter had to end here for the time being.
Maybe after we get to Lingshan, there will be time to bring up the old things again. That will also happen in the future.
Fahai didn't say much, he just kept the matter in his heart. Obviously, for this mortal monk, some things may be let go later, but they will never be revealed.
"Master, how can we clean up this little Leiyin Temple?" Ba Huan pointed at the ruins on the ground, seeming to feel pity, "It is also a Buddhist temple. Although it has been occupied by demons for a long time, these things are real objects and not demons. It’s such a waste to let the legal changes go to waste like this.”
"Most of this temple was demolished by me." The great sage put away the golden cudgel and recited the mantra in his mouth. Then he saw a fairy light coming from the fingertips of the great sage and covering the ruins on the ground——
After a while, under the power of the Great Sage, the ruins gradually closed up and returned to their original positions in front of everyone's eyes.
call--
In about one stick of incense, the temple that was originally beaten to pieces has been restored to its original appearance.
"Hey." The Great Sage laughed and said: "Breaking it to pieces is just a matter of a few sticks. Restoring it requires a lot of mana from me. The main reason is that this palace is really not an ordinary thing. Otherwise, it can be done with just a wave of hands.”
"Destruction has always been much easier than construction." Fahai said to several disciples: "This is still just a temple in front of you. It has real objects. Maybe you should think about those virtual objects that cannot be seen or touched. "
The Great Sage thought for a while and said with a smile: "For example, the majesty of heaven?"
Everyone laughed dumbly. The majesty of heaven is a very wonderful existence in the three realms. It scares people to death, and those who are not afraid regard it as nothing.
Bajie pondered for a while, then looked in the direction of the South China Sea and said: "The majesty of heaven cannot be challenged, but I think it can't compare to the reputation of Bodhisattva for mercy."
It was rare for Bajie to say something that everyone agreed with.
Speaking of reputation, in fact, the reputation of a certain leader is also very strong, but they have not been exposed to it yet and cannot say this. Although they have not experienced it personally, they should have seen it.
Wu Jing also felt this and said: "If you want to destroy the majesty of the heaven, just like Erlang Zhenjun and the senior brother, go to the heaven many times. Even if the name of the Bodhisattva's great kindness and compassion spreads to the three realms, if someone really wants to discredit it. I’m afraid there are many ways.”
Xiao Bailong chuckled, "Who has a bad conscience and wants to ruin the Bodhisattva's reputation?"
Originally there was nothing wrong with Xiao Bailong's words, but suddenly a person's name popped into everyone's mind - "Tiannu"!
He is really heartless.
Construction has never been an easy task, and even a Bodhisattva may have been questioned by the outside world.
Not saying anything else, just saying "betraying the master" is enough to discredit the Bodhisattva.
But at that time, the Bodhisattva was not the only one who abandoned the path and entered the Buddha. But now the Bodhisattva is the compassionate Guanshiyin after all. Moreover, the Bodhisattva did not enter the Buddha for personal gain.
For the sentient beings in the three realms today, one more Taoist Cihang is definitely not many, but if there is one less Guanshiyin Bodhisattva, I am afraid there will be many more suffering people.
The master and apprentice decided to stay overnight in Xiaoleiyin Temple and set off again early tomorrow morning.
Bajie buried the pot to make rice. Except for him who was full of food and drink, everyone just filled their bellies.
Evening classes at night are indispensable. Those who recite sutras, those who read, those who practice shooting, and those who sleep are naturally Bajie.
Even Fahai couldn't do anything about Bajie's temperament. Fortunately, he could complete all the homework assigned by him. Otherwise, Fahai would not indulge him like this.
In fact, it cannot be said to be condoning.
If you put it outside, Bajie is already working very hard now. It's just that his master and junior brothers are too diligent, which makes him look a little lazy.
Bajie also wants to study hard!
But I really can’t bear it!
He didn't mean to fall asleep, he just fell asleep while sitting and practicing.
I envy Master and his brothers for not having to sleep.
A night of silence.
On the second day, Bajie was drowsy and his sleepiness had not yet dissipated. He saw that his master and his brothers had packed up and were ready to set off.
well--
Bajie sighed secretly, that means I, old pig, have a generous heart, otherwise Gao Luo would not be able to stay.
The master and the disciples left Xiaoxitian and traveled for more than a month. During this period, they did not hear about any major events in the Three Realms, nor did they see Maitreya Buddha coming to look for them. I think it was something about Xiaoleiyin Temple, whether it was in Heaven or Lingshan. Didn't make any waves.
It was late spring when the flowers were blooming, and I saw several gardens all green and dark, a storm and dusk.
Taking advantage of the mountain scenery, everyone headed west. The master and the disciples were all people with supernatural powers, so naturally there was no need to deliberately look for a place to stay. Along the way, they mostly slept in the open air.
If it were said that a demon would attack at night, wouldn't it mean that the master and the disciples would be overjoyed?
Unfortunately, they rarely encountered monsters that attacked them at night along the way. The Great Sage also said: Monsters have become more timid and less interesting.
As for why the goblins are becoming more and more timid, the five masters and apprentices have nothing to do with it.
"Master." Ba Huan pointed forward and said, "There seems to be a villa ahead!"
Being able to rest under the eaves is naturally better than sleeping in the wild.
Fahai pays attention to the cultivation of mind and nature, but he does not mean to abuse himself.
The Great Sage saw Bajie's excited expression and deliberately teased him: "Master, Bajie looks ugly. Ask him to watch and salute outside. Little Bailong, go and call the door."
Bajie:.
He knew that Brother Monkey was joking with him, so he just pushed him with his big belly and said in a feint of anger: "You, Bima Wen, are not a good person, so aren't you afraid of scaring Liangshan?"
The Great Sage said cheerfully: "I won't go inside, I will just play in the trees."
"Huh-" Bajie glanced at the Great Sage, followed closely behind the master, and whispered in a low voice: "Master, this monkey's demonic nature has not been eliminated, so he should be refined with the flames of the Great Sun Buddha."
"What an idiot!" The Great Sage pinched his ears, "If you dare to talk nonsense again, I will recite sutras!"
Bajie's expression changed drastically, and he stopped talking to him.
Fahai never took sides and would only smile at the sight of their brothers and sisters.
While talking and laughing, everyone had arrived in front of Zhuangzi. Seeing that the chai door was tightly closed, Xiao Bailong straightened his clothes and went up to call the door.
"Bang Bang Bang——!"
"Bang Bang Bang——!"
After knocking twice, three times each time, he stopped and waited for the owner's reply.
Not long after, there was movement inside. Xiao Bailong saw an old man from the gap, holding a quinoa staff, wearing cattail slippers, a black scarf on his head, and wearing plain clothes. He walked slowly to the door, and then opened the door to meet an old man. The noble young master smiled and asked, "What's the matter, young gentleman?"
Xiao Bailong's face is almost universal for both men and women. When he travels in the three realms, he is more popular than his master Tripitaka. Especially because of his innate nobility, which is the most eye-catching.
Xiao Bailong's task of calling the door has been completed, so he stepped aside, revealed his master, and introduced to his father-in-law: "Old donor, this is my master, who was sent from the east to the west to obtain scriptures. It's time to arrive. Your Majesty, I specially built a residence for you to stay overnight at night, which is very convenient for everyone."
"Hehehehe." The old man smiled and looked at Master Sanzang for a few times. Just by looking at his face, he knew that he was an eminent monk. He said repeatedly: "It's convenient to come in and stay for one night, but I'm afraid it's not appropriate to go west."
As soon as the master and disciples heard these words, they knew that there might be some troubles ahead, but these things didn't matter.
Although their master and disciple did not want to cause any trouble along the way, if they encountered one, they could not just sit idly by and ignore it.
With just one sentence, this old man already made the great sage behind him unable to bear it and wanted to ask for a clear answer.
Fahai asked curiously: "What's wrong?"
"It's a long story." The old man stretched out his hand to lead us, "It's better for some elders to come in and talk."
It was Wukong and Bajie who were hiding behind him, and when he entered the hospital, he screamed, "Oh! It's a monster!"
"It's not a monster, it's not a monster." Xiao Bailong hurriedly reassured, "These are my senior brothers who worshiped the master together. They specialize in subduing monsters."
"Gudu." The old man actually wanted to close the door, but he was afraid of angering these monsters, so he just repeated: "The one who subdued the monsters?"
"Amitabha." Fa Hai recited the Buddha's name, "Although these disciples of the poor monk have strange looks, they have a righteous heart. Now they follow the poor monk to practice the righteous way. I don't have to be afraid."
Fahai's words had a Buddhist rhyme, and when they reached the ears of the old man, they had already soothed his emotions.
The Buddha said that it has the effect of calming the mind.
Not to mention an eminent monk like Fahai.
The father-in-law invited the master and disciples into his home and called the old woman to entertain them together.
Bajie and Wujing bowed and returned, and everyone followed them into the hall.
"What taboos do the elders have? Let me prepare some fast food." The old man looked at the sky and said, "It's still early now. If it's late, I won't dare to go out."
"It doesn't matter." Bajie, who came in from behind, smiled and said, "You also saw the stove I carried with me, Old Zhu. We masters and disciples never ask for alms."
Moreover, their masters and apprentices were not penniless. Every time they passed through a big city or small town, they always had to buy some rice and noodles. In the past, it was difficult to carry them around, so they had to buy less. But now there are ethnic bags. 8 When preparing to go to the next city, do some shopping so that you don’t have to worry about food in the future.
After listening to Bajie's words, the old man looked at Bajie's appearance. Even with Master Tripitaka and Xiaobailong as guarantees, he still felt guilty. Even if he was not a monster, if such a strong man had evil intentions, he would always How can they resist?
Fortunately, my family is poor and there is nothing to be robbed.
And goblins have always preferred not to eat old guys like them. They like children and women with delicate skin and tender flesh the most.
Thinking of this, the old man thought of the stove Bajie mentioned again, and an inexplicable thought came to his mind. He was even more afraid. Could it be that the pig demon had captured people and cooked them on the spot?
My father-in-law couldn't hide things in his heart. Even if he didn't show anything on his face, he couldn't hide it from Fahai.
Seeing that he was panic-stricken at this moment, Fahai recited the Buddha's name: "Amitabha, Bajie, go and borrow the stove to make some food."
"The old benefactor is relieved that the second apprentice, the poor monk, has a good appetite and good craftsmanship. I will ask the two elders to try it later."
"Hey, hey, hey." The old man agreed, but his eyes couldn't help but look over. He was relieved when he saw Bajie taking out rice noodles and some wild vegetable seasonings from the suitcase.
Looking at Master Sanzang again, his face was slightly red.
"May I ask the old benefactor's name?" Fahai asked with courtesy.
"The old man's surname is Li." Old man Li quickly put his hands together and replied to the holy monk.
"Oh." Fahai nodded and said, "I guess your village is Lijiazhuang?"
"No, no, no." Old Man Li shook his head repeatedly, "This is Tuoluozhuang, and I am the only one with the surname Li."
"I see."
Generally speaking, most of the villagers in a village have a surname, and then the place is named after the surname, such as Gaolaozhuang, Jiajiazhuang, etc.——
But I didn't expect that the only family named Li in the village would be found by their master and apprentice, and almost caused a misunderstanding.
Perhaps it was this little episode that finally allowed Old Man Li to calm down.
"Just now, my father-in-law said that it is not appropriate to go west." The great sage came close to my father-in-law and asked, "I wonder what you mean?"
"This is the Little Western Heaven. If we go to the Great Western Heaven, it's a long way to go. It's difficult to go there. It's already difficult to go further from here." Old Man Li pointed to the west with a sad look on his face: "I More than thirty miles to the west of this village, there is a rare persimmon tree. The name of the mountain is Qijue. This mountain path passes for 800 miles, and the mountain is full of persimmon fruits. As the old saying goes, there are seven persimmon trees: one is longevity, the other is more shade, and the third is more shade. There are no bird's nests, four are free of insects, five are frosty leaves to play with, six are fruitful, and seven have fat branches and leaves, hence the name Qijue Mountain."
"Because our land is vast and sparsely populated, no one has ever walked in the deep mountains. Every year, ripe persimmons fall on the road, filling up all the mountain paths; and they are covered with rain, dew, snow, frost, and mildew in the summer, making the road filthy. Therefore, our place is It is commonly known as Xishitong. But when the west wind blows, there is a foul smell."
"Another eight-hundred-mile mountain." The Great Sage said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. If it's just the danger of mountains and rivers, it can't stop us. Even if there is some stench, I, Old Sun, will clean it up for you and give it back to you. It’s just a green mountain.”
"Young elder, you don't dare to speak big words." Old Man Li naturally did not believe what the Great Sage said, and then said to Master Sanzang: "If it is just like this, it is fine, but there is a monster in the mountain with great magical powers."
monster!
Finally got to the point!
"Amitabha." Fahai recited the Dharma name and said to Old Man Li: "I think the old donor must have said before that he did not dare to go out after nightfall. Is it also because of this monster?"
"No!" Old Man Li hissed: "All of us in Zhuangzi are frightened by that monster! At night, no one dares to go out!"
"Tell me, what kind of monster is it?" The great sage was impatient.
Even Xiao Bailong wants to go exploring the mountains.
