"With the help of Mucha, a boy under the seat of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Tang Seng successfully crossed the Liusha River and subdued Monk Sha. From then on, the three disciples of Tang Monk became four masters and disciples, and Monk Sha became Junior Brother Sha. After passing the burden shouldered by my second senior brother, I once again set foot on the road to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures..."
In the bamboo forest near Jianlu in Qingcheng Mountain, Jiang Yunqing relied on his memory to tell Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan the story of Journey to the West.
Li Xingyun is eleven years old and Lu Linxuan is ten years old. They have been apprenticed to Uncle Yang and have been Jiang Yunqing's junior brother and sister for two years.
When he had nothing to do, Jiang Yunqing would tell some stories to the two of them. Uncle Yang controlled the general direction of education, but basically left it to Jiang Yunqing to mold his character and outlook on life.
After all, for children, a serious and rigid master is not as good as a senior who is kind, humorous, interesting, and can tell stories.
On this day, the story is about "Bajie fights against Liusha River, and Mucha becomes enlightened by following the Dharma."
"Elder brother, Sun Wukong has seventy-two transformations. How come he doesn't know how to swim? Didn't he make a big fuss in the Dragon Palace before? How come he can't defeat a sand monk in the water?"
After listening to this, Li Xingyun felt in his heart that the omnipotent Monkey King seemed to be shackled and no longer so powerful.
"Have you ever seen a monkey that can swim?"
Jiang Yunqing answered with a smile. How could he not have these questions once upon a time? Why could the Monkey King, the Monkey King, who was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, not be able to defeat this one or that one on the way to obtain scriptures?
If Li Xingyun were older, Jiang Yunqing would put his arm around his shoulders and tell him: Xingyun, these are all human accidents!
But now Li Xingyun is only eleven years old, and he should be naughty and mischievous. He has not yet reached the age where he needs to understand the world.
Therefore, Jiang Yunqing changed his answer to a more interesting one.
Of course, his answer here was just a joke.
In fact, monkeys have relatively developed brains. Although they are not born with the ability to swim, they can swim through acquired learning, but their water quality is not very good.
"Okay, it seems not?"
Li Xingyun scratched his head and thought hard. It seemed that he couldn't find the scene of a monkey swimming in his memory.
"But he is the Monkey King!"
Li Xingyun shook his head and expelled from his mind the image of wild monkeys and Sun Wukong in Qingcheng Mountain, showing his final stubbornness.
"But the Monkey King is just a monkey!" Jiang Yunqing replied somewhat funny.
Hearing Jiang Yunqing's answer, Li Xingyun's mind reappeared in Li Xingyun's mind, where the Monkey King, the Monkey King, was equating himself with a wild monkey. His eyes suddenly became sore, and he almost cried out of grievance.
Seeing Li Xingyun's expression, Jiang Yunqing's memory flashed back to the past, thinking that his little nephew had almost the same expression when he learned that there was no Ultraman in the world.
Although the expression of a child with shattered dreams is very interesting, after all, this is his junior brother. When he gets old in the future and thinks of his childhood, he comes over and punches him twice. Li Xingyun is ** years younger than him. By then, I'm afraid I can't bear it!
"Hahahahaha~"
Just when Jiang Yunqing was about to comfort Li Xingyun, Lu Linxuan, who had been silent, burst into laughter.
Maybe he had held it in for too long, so he released it for a moment, but couldn't hold it back, so he fell backwards and fell to the ground.
However, before he fell on his head, he couldn't stop laughing for a while, so he just lay on the ground and laughed.
"Lin Xuan, why are you laughing?"
Jiang Yunqing was stunned. Although Li Xingyun's expression was a little funny, it wasn't like that! Is this girl's smile really that low?
It doesn't make sense. After two years of getting along, I have never seen Lu Linxuan's smile so low!
"Yeah, why are you laughing?"
Li Xingyun rubbed his eyes. He didn't know what Lu Linxuan was laughing at, but he always felt that it had something to do with him.
Lu Linxuan raised his head and glanced at Li Xingyun, suppressing a smile and said: "Second Senior Brother!"
"Hahahaha~"
As soon as he said this, he couldn't hold it back anymore and continued to laugh.
Hearing this, the corners of Jiang Yunqing's mouth couldn't help but raise even more. This can only be said that there is a big difference between the way of thinking of girls and the way of thinking of boys.
However, Lu Linxuan's words awakened Jiang Yunqing. He had not noticed before that the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng were quite similar to the four masters and disciples of Jianlu.
Uncle Yang is the serious and old-fashioned master, Jiang Yunqing is the omnipotent senior brother with vast magical powers, and Li Xingyun is the second senior brother who likes to be opportunistic, glib and complains a lot.
However, the hard-working Junior Brother Sha did not see the slightest shadow on Lu Linxuan.
After all, Lu Linxuan only knows how to act coquettishly and cutely, but he doesn't know how to work hard and complain.
Li Xingyun was stunned for a while before he remembered what Jiang Yunqing had just said about Monk Tang subduing Monk Sha and Zhu Bajie becoming his second senior brother.
However, Li Xingyun was quick-thinking and glared at Lu Linxuan angrily: "Junior Sister Sha!"
"ha?"
Lu Linxuan's laughter suddenly stopped when he heard the name "Junior Sister Sha".
In his mind, he remembered Jiang Yunqing's previous description of Monk Sha's appearance: a head of fluffy red flame hair, two round eyes like bright lights. He has an indigo face that is neither black nor green, and sounds like thunder like a drum or an old dragon. Wearing a goose-yellow cloak, his waist is girded with white vines. There are nine skulls hanging under the neck, holding a very majestic treasure staff.
Lu Linxuan suddenly shuddered when he thought that he would look like this, so he immediately stood up and retorted: "No!"
"You are!"
"certainly not!"
"I am already the second senior brother. If you are not Junior Sister Sha, who is?"
Li Xingyun shrugged and said with a broken smile.
As the saying goes, treat others in their own way. It is useless to be anxious on your own. In the end, you must break the defenses of those who are opposite you, so that the IQs of the two of them can be on the same level. , you won’t suffer a loss.
"You're looking for a fight!"
Hearing Li Xingyun's taunt, Lu Linxuan got up angrily and was about to hit Li Xingyun.
But although Li Xingyun was not taught martial arts by Uncle Yang, he learned it secretly from Jiang Yunqing. Although Jiang Yunqing's teaching was not very good, he could not resist Li Xingyun's talent, but his level was higher than that of Lu Linxuan, so he easily escaped He caught Lu Linxuan who pounced on him and ran away!
Lu Linxuan got up quickly, took a bamboo pole as a sword, and went after Li Xingyun.
He kept counterattacking Li Xingyun: "Monk Sha is just ugly, but Second Senior Brother, you are just a pig!"
But Li Xingyun just ran away, smiling and answering perfunctorily: "Yeah, I know he's ugly!"
"Ah! Li Xingyun, don't run~"
"Then don't chase me~"
······
"Stand still the monkey in your mind and you will become enlightened; tie the horse in your mind and it will transform into a dragon."
"There are eight precepts to abstain from greed and sex, and abstain from killing and anger is the pure enlightenment."
"Yun Qing, when did you come into contact with Buddhist practice?"
It was Uncle Yang who came, and he had been listening for a while. However, Jiang Yunqing, Li Xingyun, and Lu Linxuan, one of them spoke seriously and the other listened carefully, but they did not realize that Uncle Yang was nearby.
"No, it's a story I heard when I was wandering!"
Jiang Yunqing did wander for a while, but it was not him as a time traveler, but his predecessor.
He traveled to this world and was hungry for almost a week before meeting Uncle Yang.
"Master, do you still understand this?"
Jiang Yunqing felt that in a sense, Uncle Yang should belong to Taoism.
Uncle Yang shook his head slightly, "Buddhism was introduced to the Central Plains during the Han Dynasty. It is a foreign religion. However, it has been passed down for so many years and has been influenced by Confucianism and Taoism. Its thoughts are essentially the same as those of Confucianism and Taoism. The difference lies only in how individuals understand it!”
"Hey, I understand this. Different paths lead to the same destination!"
"Yes, different paths lead to the same destination!"
Uncle Yang smiled and nodded...
In the bamboo building of Jianlu, Lu Linxuan locked himself in his room with tears on his face, sobbing loudly and sounding very sad.
Jiang Yunqing led Li Xingyun through the window and came to Lu Linxuan's bedside.
Seeing Lu Linxuan crying under the quilt, Li Xingyun hesitated, but Jiang Yunqing pushed him directly.
Li Xingyun staggered and threw himself on Lu Linxuan's bed. Li Xingyun quickly held the edge of the bed so as not to crush Lu Linxuan.
He cautiously called out tentatively: "Junior sister..."
Before Li Xingyun finished speaking, Lu Linxuan's loud crying interrupted Li Xingyun's words.
Li Xingyun looked back at Jiang Yunqing at a loss. Lu Linxuan was crying and he was a little flustered. He had forgotten everything he had planned to say before.
But Jiang Yunqing just looked at him coldly and patted his palm lightly with the bamboo whip.
Although no sound was made, the meaning of that action was very clear.
Probably, if you don't coax me quickly, this whip will definitely fall on your butt later.
Li Xingyun subconsciously rubbed his butt and had to lean down and gently touch Lu Linxuan's head.
"Junior Sister, I'm sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't have called you Junior Sister Sha."
Hearing Li Xingyun's apology, Lu Linxuan's crying suddenly became much quieter.
Feeling that Lu Linxuan's cries had subsided, Li Xingyun was immediately encouraged and pursued the victory: "But you can't blame me, right? It was you who first said that I was Zhu Bajie..."
"Woooooo~"
Lu Linxuan's cry suddenly became louder. Jiang Yunqing held her forehead and was speechless for a moment. Li Xingyun's twists and turns were truly amazing.
"Snapped!"
A whip hit Li Xingyun on the buttocks, and Li Xingyun subconsciously knelt down beside the bed.
"Junior sister, I was wrong!"
It is impossible for a person to fall for the same trick twice. This time, Lu Linxuan's crying did not stop.
Jiang Yunqing reluctantly came to Lu Linxuan's bedside and comforted him: "Okay, Lin Xuan, Xingyun knows he was wrong, just forgive him!"
"Wow, senior brother, he knows how to bully me!"
Hearing Jiang Yunqing's voice, Lu Linxuan immediately climbed out of the quilt, hugged Jiang Yunqing's arm and continued to cry, rubbing his nose and tears on Jiang Yunqing's clothes. Jiang Yunqing felt for a moment that he had been cheated. Feel.
Girl, you are so scheming!
"Okay, stop crying."
Jiang Yunqing suddenly became serious: "Xingyun is at fault, and so are you. You are the one who started this matter!"
"I didn't, I never said he was Zhu Bajie!"
Lu Linxuan was choking and quibbling.
"But, you are talking about my second senior brother!" Li Xingyun was a little dissatisfied.
"But you are the second senior brother!"
Lu Linxuan's tearful eyes flickered slightly, looking very innocent and flawless. His small appearance was timid and innocent.
"Uh~"
Li Xingyun scratched the back of his head, his little head confused for a moment.
Jiang Yunqing is the senior brother, Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan started together, and Li Xingyun is older than Lu Linxuan, so naturally he is Lu Linxuan's second senior brother.
Jiang Yunqing also felt that there was nothing wrong with this logic. Maybe it was just wrong. He told the story of Journey to the West.
"Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother..."
Lu Linxuan's tears were not yet dry, but the corner of his mouth quietly raised a smile, he looked at Li Xingyun and kept saying the words "Second Senior Brother".
"you you you······"
Li Xingyun stood up from the ground at once, pointed at Lu Linxuan, and wanted to get angry, but the words were stuck on his lips, not knowing what to say.
It seems that since he came to Jianlu and became the disciple of Uncle Yang, Lu Linxuan has been calling him Second Senior Brother.
However, he knew that the second senior brother in Lu Linxuan's words meant Zhu Bajie. He wanted to ignore it, but he couldn't let go. He simply turned away and sat on the ground without looking at Lu Linxuan.
"Okay, I was teased by Xingyun, don't call me Second Senior Brother Xingyun from now on!"
Jiang Yunqing rubbed Lu Linxuan's head and tried to persuade him.
The cause and effect of this contradiction still originated from him. He should not have told the story of Journey to the West to Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan.
"Then what should I call him?"
Lu Linxuan blinked and asked in confusion.
"Whatever!" Li Xingyun, who was sitting on the ground, was still angry.
"Your name is Senior Brother Xingyun!"
Jiang Yunqing thought for a while and said, he remembered that in the original work, this is how Lu Linxuan called Li Xingyun.
"Okay~"
Lu Linxuan responded with a sigh, and seemed to still like to call him Second Senior Brother Li Xingyun.
"snort!"
Seeing Lu Linxuan's unhappy look, Li Xingyun snorted and continued to look away.
"Okay, don't be angry. Senior brother will cook a barbecue for you today."
Jiang Yunqing shook her head helplessly and could only offer a condition that was enough to seduce two people at the same time.
Sure enough, when Jiang Yunqing said he would go out for barbecue.
Lu Linxuan immediately let go of Jiang Yunqing's arm, jumped up from the bed with a sudden smile, raised his hands in the air and cheered: "Okay! Let's eat barbecue."
"real?"
Li Xingyun also patted his butt and jumped up from the ground.
"Can I still lie to you? Let's go!"
He took the hands of Li Xingyun and Lu Linxuan and walked out of the room.
Wherever Lu Linxuan and Li Xingyun looked unhappy, they were extremely happy.
Sure enough, no child can resist the temptation of delicious food.
······
Suddenly, Jiang Yunqing woke up from her dream, opened her eyes suddenly, and saw a familiar face.
