"Hmph, I don't want to talk about the past, old pig." The pig demon looked at Xuan Yan, "Do you know the mountain people in the yard by the river?"
Xuan Yan told the truth, "I have known Amitabha since I was a child. I have been able to help you along the way. I am deeply grateful."
The pig demon knelt down without hesitation, "Master, please bow to me, my disciple. I was originally the marshal of Heaven, but was demoted to the lower realm and became a pig demon. I simply took the surname of pig, and my common name is Zhu Gangxi. Guanyin Bodhisattva gave me the ordination back then and gave me a dharma title called Wu Neng."
"Amitabha! Bodhisattva bless! Bodhisattva bless!"
Mr. Gao and Mrs. Gao cried with joy and shouted repeatedly.
"Amitabha, please come quickly. There is no need to be so generous."
Xuan Yan stepped forward to help him. He felt that the pig demon was very pleasing to his eyes because he was a disciple quickly and seemed much more obedient compared to the reluctant monkey and little white dragon.
…
Gaojiazhuang had a hard time, and there was a big banquet that night.
During the dinner, I watched the pig demon eating Haisai all by himself until he changed back to his original shape.
But no one was afraid of him at this time, they just laughed at him.
Xuan Yan suddenly thought of his dharma title, Wu Neng, Able to Eat.
It felt funny in my heart, and Bodhisattva Ganqing also knew that he could eat it.
Thinking of the Bodhisattva's dumbfounded look, a smile appeared on his face.
The pig demon thought he was laughing at him, so he laughed dryly and scratched his head, "Master, although I can eat, I can also endure hunger. A full meal can last me several days."
The Monkey King was funny, "You idiot."
Although Xuan Yan didn't mean to laugh at him, he still blushed and secretly changed the subject, "Amitabha, I have come up with a nickname for you. Since you have taken the precepts, how about you call me Bajie?"
The pig demon nodded, "Bajie? Okay, then I will call you Zhu Bajie from now on."
…
In the evening, Mr. Gao came to talk to Xuan Yan about terminating the engagement, but Gao Cuilan, who had been paying attention, came to disrupt the situation.
"Dad, mother, please forgive me."
"When my Gao family was looking for a son-in-law, we didn't ask for permission from monsters to apply. It was my Gao family that chose him because they thought he could work hard."
"If you regret it, my Gao family will be a treacherous person. It will really be a disgrace to the family."
Mr. Gao was speechless, and Mrs. Gao pushed him angrily, and then cried: "Daughter, for your sake, I will let others talk about these gossips."
"Mother loves me," Gao Cuilan said with tears, "My daughter knows it, but please let her finish her words."
Mrs. Gao wiped her tears and said, "Okay, you say it."
Gao Cuilan also wiped her tears, "Zhu Gangxi and I have already worshiped heaven and earth. If a good girl does not marry another husband, her daughter will not be able to marry anyone else."
Mr. Gao quickly said: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. It's better to have you at home for the rest of your life than to live with someone like this for the rest of your life."
Zhu Bajie protested, "Hey, father-in-law, what's wrong with me, old pig? Don't look down on monsters. You must know that I, old pig, want to become a Buddha."
Gao Cuilan nodded, "That's right. Since this pig head is really Marshal Tianpeng descending to the earth, and now it has a relationship with Buddha, it is worth looking forward to."
Zhu Bajie was overjoyed, "It's my lady's opinion."
Xuan Yan put his hands together and advised, "Amitabha, Bajie, since you have become a monk, you can no longer call me that."
Zhu Bajie quibbled, "Master, madam is just a title, don't take it seriously. What's important is that I am devoted to Buddha and have already become a monk and ordained."
"Amitabha." Xuan Yan shook his head and was speechless. He knew that Zhu Bajie was making excuses, but he could not continue to argue.
Gao Cuilan snorted coldly, "Husband, since you said so, then practice well, otherwise, don't call me the son-in-law of the Gao family."
Zhu Bajie was so excited that he felt like he had honey on his lips, "Hey, hey, hey, when the lady calls you husband, I, the old pig, will die immediately, and I will be very satisfied."
"Oh my god!" The monkey said coldly, "I can't bear this, so I'll leave first."
As he spoke, he cupped his hands, turned around and jumped away.
"I'm going to say goodbye too." Xiao Bailong handed over his hands and walked away, shaking his head as he walked, "People hope that their husbands will become dragons, while the Gao family hopes that pigs will become Buddhas. It's really weird."
…
The story spread quickly, and pigs became Buddhas and became a specialty of the Gao family.
While people praised Gao Cuilan for her profound understanding of righteousness and integrity, they were waiting to see the Gao family's jokes and see how a pig's head turned into a Buddha's head.
Xuan Yan, four people and one horse stayed in Gaojiazhuang for three days, and Zhu Bajie took his time to pack up the gift - twenty loads of scallion pancakes carried by ten loads.
I can't help but sweat when I see it, it's so particular.
What's even more outrageous is that Zhu Bajie went directly to Xingchen Courtyard and deposited ten and twenty loads of scallion pancakes there.
Yamazaki and others were speechless, this pig head really treated them as his followers.
But Yamazaki didn't say anything and accepted it. Anyway, it was all karma and merit.
Zhu Bajie asked for a horse from the Gao family, said goodbye to his father-in-law, mother-in-law, and his wife, and followed Xuan Dan away with a clear mind.
The monkey and the little white dragon couldn't sit still and continued to go to the West Island to live in a dream.
…
After they left, Yamazaki also put away the Star Court and released two puppet carriages for everyone to get on.
Gao Cuilan saw that most of them were women, and her heart suddenly moved, and she hurried over.
"The little girl Gao Cuilan is polite."
Yamazaki asked in vain, not letting her bow down, "What's the matter with Mrs. Gao?"
"My little girl has heard that the people in the mountains are very resourceful. I wonder if my little girl is lucky enough to be able to make plans for you."
"What you want is nothing more than to practice and keep your appearance, so that you don't die after Zhu Bajie leaves for decades, or even before he comes back."
Gao Cuilan handed over her hands with sincerity, "That's exactly it. Please enlighten me."
Yamazaki smiled and said: "It's quite simple. The only question is, do you want to enter the Immortal Sect or the Buddhist Sect?"
Gao Cuilan was surprised, "How simple? What's the difference between the two?"
Yamazaki looked from a distance, "It's as simple as following us. The difference is whether you want to have an affair with Zhu Bajie or not."
"ah!"
Amid everyone's laughter, Gao Cuilan's face turned red.
Yamazaki chuckled, "Zhu Bajie has already entered Buddhism, but he is still married to you. Although his mortal heart is still unresolved, it also shows that you two have deep karma."
"If you enter Buddhism, everyone will be happy, but the Buddhist precepts are there. You can only be Taoist couples and you cannot have children."
"Although it is possible to return to secular life, it is a burning of bridges and there will definitely be disaster."
"If you enter Taoism, you can cross Zhu Bajie to practice Taoism in the future. After you have children, you can fight between Buddhism and Taoism and return to Buddhism, or you may not go back."
"You don't have to choose now. You can come with us first, get the merit, and at the same time practice the Five Elements Art to condense the golden elixir and stay beautiful and live a long life."
Gao Cuilan calmed down, "Are you leaving now?"
"If you miss home, you should finish your studies early and fly back when you have time."
"If a little girl practices cultivation, how long will it take for her to fly?"
"It depends on how well you practice. It takes a few months or a few years to lay the foundation. At the same time, you can plant the elixir, and then make the elixir and take it."
"I see." Gao Cuilan bit her silver teeth lightly, "Okay, please wait a moment. The little girl will go back and report to her parents."
Yamazaki waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, when you are ready to salute and come out, I will have someone pick you up."
"Okay, it's settled."
"It's a deal."
