Kou Yuanwai was still burning incense and chanting Buddha's name in Zhuangzi's Buddhist hall, but when he heard that Master Tripitaka had arrived at his home and was walking towards him, he didn't even have time to pick up his crutches, so he hurried outside Zhuangzi. Seeing this, the boy on the side rushed forward with a cane in his hand, otherwise the bandit would have to fall hard.
Hurrying slowly, he finally stopped Master Sanzang when he arrived at the door of Zhuangzi.
Whoosh——
Whoosh——
Kou Yuanwai let out a heavy breath. This was probably the first time that he felt that his Zhuangzi was too big. He walked quickly from the Buddhist hall in the backyard to the door, but he was so embarrassed in front of Master Tripitaka.
Master Tripitaka recited the Buddha's name, and with a wave of his hand, a warm air flowed into his chest and abdomen, and then penetrated his four feet.
In an instant, Kou Yuanwai felt that his whole body was filled with warmth. In a blink of an eye, his fatigue was gone. His hands and feet that were originally stiff were now very flexible.
A true holy monk!
Kou Yuanwai quickly bowed to Master Tripitaka and said, "My humble name is Kou Hong, and my courtesy name is Da Kuan. I have met the holy monk."
"Old officer, you don't need to be polite, please get up quickly." Fahai had seen that Mr. Kou was wrapped up in his good deeds, so he naturally treated him differently.
As the saying goes: Good will be rewarded with good, and evil will be punished with evil. No matter why there was no retribution before, but now that Fa Hai has met him, there is no reason to sit idly by.
The so-called punishment of evil and promotion of good is exactly like this.
After Kou Yuanwai was helped up by Master Sanzang, he looked at the disciples behind him. The more he looked at them, the more he admired them. He said repeatedly: "Outsiders only think that these elders have strange looks, but in my old age, they should be regarded as heavenly beings." How can the lower realm be the same as ordinary people?"
"You, an old man, are very knowledgeable." The great sage smiled after hearing this and jumped to his side. Seeing that Mr. Kou was really not afraid of him, he pinched him a few times and infused a little bit of the fairy spirit. , and then said with a smile: "Since you recognize that my old grandson is the lower realm of heaven and man, I will give you a blessing this time."
However, this bandit really has some eyesight. With his master becoming famous in the three realms, everyone in Xizhou is naturally no stranger to his brothers. In the past, although everyone was less afraid of them when they met them, they would never be afraid of them. It is obviously more common to think that they are heavenly beings who have descended to earth, or demons that have been subdued and enlightened by the master.
The Great Sage was very happy, and since this bandit had indeed done good deeds for half his life, he deserved this ray of fairy spirit.
Member Kou felt that his body was cool and refreshing, and he suddenly felt refreshed. It was completely different from the Buddhist power that Master Tripitaka had unleashed into his body before, but the effect was equally significant.
It seemed that all his old ailments were greatly relieved at this moment.
Kou Yuanwai could not stop the smile on his face. He bowed to the Great Sage for a while and said in his heart: A monk who has been doing good deeds for more than 20 years has really met a good person and a true monk today!
"Please, please quickly invite the holy monks and elders to stay and have a meal in our courtyard."
Kou Yuanwai, who finally calmed down, led the way and said to the holy monk and several elders: "I wasted sixty-four years in vain. From the age of forty, it took tens of thousands of monks to achieve perfection. Today I have been fasting for twenty-four years, and I have an account of fasting monks. I have been doing nothing for many days, and I count the names of the monks who have fasted. I have fasted for 9,996 people, and only four of them are now the holy monks. Is it not destined by God that several of my disciples came to me?"
Fa Hai also wanted to be beautiful as an adult, so he smiled and said, "My wish can come true today, but with this kind heart and good deeds."
Kou Yuanwai hurriedly said: "I dare not stop here. I will continue to do good deeds and become a monk as always."
"He is also a kind person outside the Yuan Dynasty." Fahai praised him.
In fact, Fahai does not have high requirements for ordinary mortals. As long as they keep their own conduct, perform their duties, do not break the law or do evil, they are considered to be doing good deeds.
And what Kou Yuanwai did was actually worthy of the word "great kindness" to him.
As Mencius, another teacher of Ziyu, said: If you are poor, you can be good at yourself; if you are rich, you can be good at all things in the world.
The same is true for Fahai.
They didn't go far before they turned the corner and saw a north-south street. When I was walking, I saw a tiger sitting on the gate tower. There was a big sign hanging on the screen wall inside the gate, which read the four words "Ten Thousand Monks Will Not Stop".
Kou Yuanwai quickly said: "We're here, we're here."
When everyone saw the four words "Ten Thousand Monks Will Not Stop", they praised Kou Yuanwai a few more words. Kou Yuanwai was naturally overjoyed.
After Kou Yuanwai led the master and his disciples around the manor, he led everyone into a room and introduced to the holy monk and several mages: "This room is the Buddhist hall for the masters. The scripture hall and the dining hall are the small residences of old people."
When Master Tripitaka went west to collect scriptures, how could he not pass by Tongtai Mansion?
Therefore, the bandits have already sent people to repair and repair it, and now they are bringing Master Sanzang and his party to this place.
Seeing that the Buddhist hall is here, Fahai naturally tidied up his appearance. After bowing to the Buddha and Bodhisattvas first, he raised his eyes to look at the scene in the Buddhist hall, with clouds of incense lingering, candle flames shining brightly, brocade flowers gathered, and gold paving. Colorful.
A purple gold bell hangs high on a vermilion fragrant wood shelf; two coloratura drums are set opposite each other on the painted edge.
Several pairs of eight-treasure flags protect the thousand-gold Buddha statue made of gold.
See also the fragrance of sandalwood in the bronze furnace, and the colorful lotus flowers in the bronze vase. Wuyun fresh wine was placed on the carved lacquer table. Suddenly, there was a sound of a golden chime, with a faint rhyme.
Fahai looked over and saw the great sage holding a hammer and beating on it.
When the Great Sage saw his master looking towards him, he smiled and quickly put away the objects in his hands. He scratched his head and picked up a glass lamp on the side, then sent it to Wu Jing.
Wu Jing looked at the clear glass cup and slowly took two steps back.
Although the true spirit of General Rolling Curtain has long since been reincarnated, what now occupies his body is the ninth generation obsession of the scripture seeker. But this is the avoidance engraved in the bones of Wu Jing's body.
He hopes that there will be no glass lamps in the entire Three Realms.
Bajie and the little white dragon couldn't help but laugh, and then they realized that they were losing their temper. They turned to face a glass lamp with bright sesame oil and started to suppress their laughter.
Only then did the Great Sage react.
At this time, Fahai had finished worshiping the Buddha, and the bandit invited Master Tripitaka to go to the Sutra Hall. Master Tripitaka was here to get Buddhist scriptures. It happened that he also collected a lot of Buddhist scriptures here, some of which were too advanced. He had limited cultivation and knowledge. , I really can’t understand. In the past, monks who came here rarely saw eminent monks. Now that Master Tripitaka is here, of course he must seize the opportunity to ask for advice.
Everyone followed them into the sutra hall and saw countless sutras piled up on the square platform and vertical cabinets; many slips and notes were stored in jade boxes and gold letters.
Kou Yuanwai asked the housekeeper and the servants to disperse, saying that he would ask Master Tripitaka for Buddhist teachings here.
Fa Hai also said to several disciples: "Those who are willing to stay and listen can sit down together. Those who want to see the customs and customs can go by themselves."
No matter how many there were, Fa Hai did not give orders one by one. After all, several disciples had a sense of propriety and he had nothing to worry about if they were released just like that.
Bajie got up first and went out last. His voice could be heard in the sutra hall: "Brother, wait for me, where is your kitchen? Are there any famous restaurants in this city?"
"What about the special snacks?"
"How about the seasoning?"
"How was the food?"
"Let the members laugh." Master Sanzang smiled helplessly at the members: "I must know the appearance of the poor monk and his habits."
"I have long heard that the second disciple of the Holy Monk is good at cooking. When we met before, I saw Elder Zhu carrying a big black pot on his back. The Holy Monk must have been lucky." I also got along with Master Sanzang for a while, and I saw that the Holy Monk had an easy-going and friendly temperament. , very talkative. When he spoke here, he was no longer as reserved as when they first met, and was obviously much more casual.
Wu Jing raised his hands to his master and said, "Master, I'm going to find some local customs."
After seeing the master nodding in agreement, he left the sutra hall; Xiao Bailong also had to go on a patrol, but in the end only the great sage stayed to listen.
Because he had just seen some scriptures that he had never seen before, he wanted to take advantage of this bandit to ask the master for scriptures and Dharma, and listen to them himself. After all, they were approaching Lingshan, and the great sage was still thinking about the plan to shock Lingshan. Buddhas, the more scriptures he wants to recite, the better.
Moreover, the Great Sage has discovered that the deeper the effect of his understanding of the scriptures, the stronger the effect.
On the contrary, there are those who have a little knowledge, but there is nothing magical about it.
Of course, Wu Jing, who loves scriptures, will naturally leave behind a spirit of obsession, but it is just invisible to the outsiders.
The bandits invited Master Sanzang and his disciples into the manor, and the servants and servants naturally had a lot of fun.
Moreover, it was almost noon, and the kitchen was preparing for the meal. Several young and old children went to the house to carry firewood, water, rice, noodles and vegetables.
And the housekeeper, after leaving the sutra hall, went directly to a room in the backyard.
He didn't knock on the door, just stepped in and entered the inner hall without any obstruction.
He only paused for a moment under the curtain, but still stepped in. In front of him was a woman wearing a purple fur coat and a gold shirt. She was applying makeup and powder in front of the dressing table. After a while, she picked up the eyebrow pencil. Looking into the mirror
The housekeeper walked up to her in a few steps, looked at the woman's beautiful face through the mirror, and whispered softly: "Is the Second Madam drawing her eyebrows again?"
But seeing that the second lady didn't pay attention, she just looked at the mirror. The butler turned from the back to the side, half-leaned on the dressing table, and said softly: "Second lady, it's so lively outside. Why don't you pay any attention to it?"
"Hmph." The second lady snorted softly.
The housekeeper quickly said: "There are some monks coming from outside."
"Come here. Are there many monks who have come to Zhuangzi? What's all the fuss about?" Just as he was saying this, the second lady was stunned and said, "Is it Master Sanzang who is here?"
Seeing the second lady's sudden interest, the housekeeper felt a little irritated in his heart for some reason, and said: "It's them who just met the disciples of Master Sanzang. They are really more ugly than the other, looking like monsters, but Master They say they are from the lower realms of heaven and humans.”
"Hahaha." The second lady covered her mouth and chuckled, "I'll go and see what I've heard about this suave Master Tripitaka. He has another gentleman who is even more handsome."
With that said, he left the housekeeper in the room, took the veil himself, and walked out of the room.
He called the servant to find out where Master Tripitaka was, and then he was led over.
Walking all the way outside the sutra hall, I heard the sound of the Buddha reciting aloud from inside the hall. It was obviously those boring and boring sutras. I couldn't even hear half a word of them in the past, but I don't know why now I read every word of them to my heart. inside.
She peeked out of the window and saw the side profile of Master Tripitaka, sitting directly opposite her master. Because she couldn't see clearly, she wanted to change the angle, but she was always blocked by someone and could not get a full view of Master Tripitaka.
There was another person in front of her with his back to her, but he could only see the back of a furry head. Just when he was curious, he saw the furry head suddenly turned around, and a face with a furry face and a thunderous mouth suddenly broke in. In her eyes——
"oops!"
The second lady screamed, which even interrupted Master Tripitaka's chanting. The bandit looked unhappy, got up and walked quickly to the window, glaring outside, even though he saw that he was the one whom he loved so much. The second lady suppressed her anger a little, but her face still didn't look good.
"Master!" The second lady was slumped on the ground. She saw the master's face revealed by the window again. His body, which was about to be lifted up by the serving girl beside him, fell to the ground. As he lowered his head and raised his head, he was already His face was full of horror.
As soon as Kou Yuanwai saw the second lady like this, he immediately looked carefully protective of him and was about to walk out of the sutra hall. However, he paused halfway and apologized to Master Sanzang before leaving the sutra hall. He went to the second lady's side, caring and caring.
It's just that the second lady also got a little angry and didn't comply.
Fa Hai did not reprimand the Great Sage for this, because he could detect that the woman who had just peeked out of the window had some evil intentions.
The Great Sage's brows gradually furrowed together, and he sent a message to Master: "Master, I'm afraid something else will happen this time."
Fa Hai pondered for a while and said: "After all, it is other people's family affairs, so don't say anything unless necessary."
The Great Sage thought for a while, and then saw that this bandit was so fond of his second wife, what he said to an outsider, how could someone listen to it?
Most of the time, I will be treated as a donkey with good intentions, saying that I have tried my best to entertain you, but you have come to ruin the peace in my family.
The Great Sage had never seen such scenes before, and with the reminder from his master, he still managed to endure it.
Not long after, the second lady saw that Master Sanzang had no intention of leaving the sutra hall to help her. In addition, she was really uncomfortable on the ground, so she gradually got up following the master's strength.
The second lady was surprised for a long time when she felt that the pair of old hands that were supporting her body were particularly powerful today.
When Kou Yuanwai was helping the second lady into the sutra hall, he whispered in her ear: "The one just now is Sun Wukong, the eldest disciple of Master Tripitaka. He is very powerful in destroying demons along the way."
The second lady also whispered back: "I know, it's just that I'm out of reach and I'm scared, so that's okay."
When Officer Kou heard the second lady's words, he felt relieved and smiled again on his face.
He led his wife into the scripture hall and wanted to formally introduce each other to both parties.
