Naturally, it was impossible for the two of them to stage a tearful scene of brotherly recognition. In fact, Ao Lie was more happy that he left this Yingchou Stream. In essence, he still had a cold temperament. If he and Xhaka stay together, I'm afraid I won't be able to speak a few words in a day.
Bai Longma's presence in the entire story of Journey to the West is not strong. In people's eyes, he is usually an insignificant image. He is a neglected person. The most typical example is that people who go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures are often called the Four Monks and Disciples of Tang Dynasty. people. Although the White Dragon Horse is not as vivid as the images of Sun Wukong and Zhu Bajie, he is an indispensable member of this group.
Among the scripture-seeking collective, Bai Longma is the one who has been on the westward journey the longest, and is the most loyal actor and witness of the scripture-seeking cause. In other words, among the people who accompany Tang Monk to the West to learn scriptures, Ao Lie is the most harmonious. The one Tang Seng spent the longest time with.
After learning that Ao Lie is the son of Ao Run, the Dragon King of the West Sea, Sun Wukong's aura of looking down on the world has returned to him. The immortal he has the most contact with in the Three Realms may be Taibai Jinxing, but he has the closest relationship with him. However, they are exactly the four dragon kings guarding the four directions. The reason is simple. They are all monsters, but they are just making things up.
"When I come back from the Buddhist scriptures, I, Old Sun, will go to the West Sea with you. If the old Dragon King dares to bully you again, I'll see if Old Sun doesn't deal with him properly." Sun Wukong said, patting his chest.
"Thank you, senior brother."
Even though Ao Lie didn't want the other party to interfere too much in his family affairs, he still accepted Sun Wukong's feelings and said respectfully.
"What are you and my brothers talking about?" After all, Sun Wukong still retained a lot of the worldly nature he had shed when he was a monster, and patted him on the shoulder.
At this time, under Zhang Chi's emergency rescue, Tang Seng finally woke up slowly.
"Change into a horse." Sun Wukong said.
"okay!"
Ao Lie responded, and his body instantly transformed into a divine, snow-colored white horse, neighing.
"Was that a dragon just now...?" This was the first question Tang Seng asked after he woke up.
"It's a white dragon." Qi Zhen corrected him.
"He ate my horse..." Tang Monk murmured, "What can we do? The poor monk's horse is gone..."
"Master, look!" Sun Wukong stepped forward and pointed at the horse next to him that was still emitting divine light.
"This is..." Tang Seng was confused.
"How do you think that ordinary horse from the east can experience these thousands of rivers and mountains? How can it reach the Lingshan Buddha Land? It must be this dragon and horse before it can go there." Qi Zhen quoted the explanation of Guanyin Bodhisattva in the original work and said to Tang Monk .
"This is..."
"Well, it's that little white dragon." Qi Zhen said.
"How can this make me ride him..."
"Master, don't worry, this white dragon horse will be your apprentice just like me from now on." Sun Wukong explained with a smile.
Tang Seng looked happy, stood up and walked forward, gently stroking the horse's neck.
"You won't bite me, will you?" Tang Seng suddenly asked an extremely clumsy question.
"No way, come master, I will help you mount your horse!"
Sun Wukong helped Tang Monk onto the horse.
Everyone continued westward.
After gradually getting used to the white horse under his seat, Tang Monk was obviously a little airy, and paired with his cassock, he looked a bit majestic.
"I was scared like a chicken just now, but now I'm okay." Wang Jianguo laughed and teased.
Tang Seng was a little embarrassed.
"I'll give you a jade dragon as a mount, will you be happy?" Liang Sicheng asked him.
"It's floating, but it won't float like this." Wang Jianguo said.
"Just blow it," Zhang Qi interjected.
Everyone was laughing and chatting, walking out of the Snake Winding Mountain Yingchou Stream and back to the official road, somewhat like a spring outing.
In the next few days, everyone walked quite smoothly. It seemed that there were not as many monsters as expected. It was just that after artistic processing, the contradictions were all concentrated together, which made it fascinating.
Without the fresh energy at the beginning, everyone in the team was a little bored, so they had to find some fun for themselves.
For example, Lin Bian took out his running kart motorcycle, and Liang Sicheng simply pulled out an off-road vehicle. Others scattered around to look at the scenery, and some went up the mountains and lakes to pick fruits and catch fish. They had a great time. , Tang Seng and Sun Wukong were stunned for a moment.
The main reason is that those things are too magical. Even Sun Wukong, who has great supernatural powers, has never seen them. It is very scary for a monkey to have his curiosity aroused. Fortunately, Brother Monkey doesn't have much patience. After playing for a few times, he went back to get down to business. Really helped Tang Monk lead the horse.
A few days later, the number of people on the official road became increasingly sparse, and the distance between the stations became further and further away, which proved that they were moving away from the center of the Tang Dynasty.
One day, Tang Seng suddenly said to everyone that he seemed to hear a temple bell ringing.
It stands to reason that the strength of everyone present is much higher than that of Tang Seng. Why didn't anyone else hear it but he only heard it?
Everyone in the team subconsciously thought that he was hallucinating.
Sun Wukong said that he would go investigate and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After a while, Sun Wukong came back and said that the master really had a good ear. There was a temple in the mountain ahead, but it was not on the official road.
Tang Seng insisted on paying homage.
At this time, everyone in the team discovered Tang Monk's creed that he must enter a temple and sweep a pagoda.
Now that Tang Monk had spoken, the others no longer insisted on anything and followed Sun Wukong's guidance towards the temple.
When everyone arrived, they discovered that the temple was huge and there was an extremely magnificent pagoda in the temple.
There are three characters written on the plaque at the main entrance of the temple - Guanyin Yuan.
The happiest person to see the temple was Tang Seng, as if a traveler suddenly saw the office in his hometown.
The name Guanyin Yuan is even more endearing. Both Tang Monk and Sun Wukong were essentially helped by Guanyin Bodhisattva on their way to the West, and they feel very grateful for it.
Sun Wukong obeyed the order and went to call the door. The person who opened the door was a young monk. Seeing Tang Monk's dress, he clasped his hands together and called "Senior Brother".
Tang Monk explained his identity and purpose of coming, and was quickly led into the main hall by the monk. He went to inform the presiding abbot.
The host's name was Elder Jinchi. He was thin and looked like a sharp-mouthed monkey. When he saw him for the first time, Wang Jianguo muttered in a low voice that he didn't look like a good person.
The two sides saluted, and dozens of monks poured out from the backyard of the temple, chanting Amitabha Buddha, and saluted everyone.
A group of monks with bright heads bowed to themselves. Not to mention the rest of the team, it was Qi Zhen's first time, but she was also affected by this solemn environment and became a little more serious.
What is enshrined in the main hall is the lacquered gold elephant of Guanyin Bodhisattva, with a solemn appearance. The golden boy on the left side and the jade girl on the right side serve in a majestic manner.
When he first entered the door, Sun Wukong had already informed him of his past. When the other party learned that this was a holy monk who went from Chang'an to the West to worship Buddha and seek scriptures, he naturally did not dare to neglect him, but he did not expect that so many monks could be gathered in such a short period of time. It was really impressive. It was enough for Tang Seng, his imperial disciple.
Not to mention anything else, the ostentation of Guanyin Temple is really better than many famous large temples.
Tang Seng had seen this kind of scene before, and he was able to deal with it with ease and without any embarrassment. He showed his true character as an eminent monk in one-on-one responses, and was not suppressed by the opponent's momentum at all.
When the subtle meaning of Buddhism is preached together, it can be regarded as a great time for both host and guest.
It's just that this time is too long.
Putting aside the discussion of Buddhism for the time being, it was almost dusk. Elder Jinchi suggested that everyone should have a fast meal and stay here for one night before setting off on their journey the next day.
Tang Monk was thinking about the great cause of sweeping the pagoda, so he did not refuse and even called him "disturbing".
The entire team was even arranged to rest together in a separate clean Zen room.
Tang Monk and Sun Wukong are next door.
While everyone was eating, Elder Jinchi talked about whether he needed to prepare some money for Monk Tang because he could carry enough money on the journey to the West. Monk Tang declined, and even said that traveling to the West for Buddhist scriptures was a form of spiritual practice, and that it was especially luxurious.
Elder Jinchi smiled and asked if it was possible that the emperor didn't give Elder Tang some valuables in case of emergency?
As a result, before Tang Monk could speak, Sun Wukong started talking about Tang Monk's precious cassock.
In addition to the red cassocks that Tang Monk usually wears, there is also an extremely precious brocade cassock in the package.
The brocade cassock is also called "Buddha's Clothes". The allusion should come from the story of the "Buddha's Clothes" passed down from the Fifth Patriarch to the Sixth Patriarch. There are two interpretations of "Buddha's Clothes". One is that "Buddha's Clothes" is an external form, and "Buddha's Clothes" is an external form. Yes, it’s the words and phrases in the scriptures; the second interpretation is that “clothing” means “depending on”, and “Buddha’s clothing” means “depending on Buddha”! Take refuge in Buddha!
When the Tathagata Buddha ordered Guanyin Bodhisattva to go to the Eastern Land to look for Buddhist scriptures, he gave Guanyin five treasures before leaving. One of them was this brocade cassock. Not only was it embedded with seven treasures, it was extremely luxurious. It was also invulnerable to water and fire, and had the ability to protect oneself from evil spirits. effect.

Elder Jinchi's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he asked if he could borrow it to take a look.
Tang Monk didn't think much, so he took out the cassock and gave it to the other party, and he would take it away when he sets out tomorrow.
Then Tang Monk, accompanied by Sun Wukong, went to sweep the pagoda.
The bored team members returned to the Zen room where they were resting.
"This day, I have to hold on so hard, but I am exhausted." Wang Jianguo rubbed his slightly swollen shoulders and said.
"By the way, could this place be the one..." Liang Sicheng asked.
"Well, it's that 'my precious cassock'." Qi Zhen replied with a smile.
When it comes to interpreting greed for treasures, Elder Jinchi’s look is at least 20 years ahead of The Lord of the Rings!
"Is it okay if you don't remind the Great Sage?" Zhang Chi asked.
"If there is really evil spirit here, the Great Sage must have discovered it early. Since it is a bunch of mortals, we naturally don't have to worry too much. It's just those methods. You are at this level, why are you afraid that you can't deal with it?" Qi Zhen asked back.
This is what everyone thinks.
"Just save Tang Monk at the critical moment." Qi Zhen continued.
Everyone agreed, but only Sun Jie suddenly said: "In my impression, when I was young, this Guanyin Yuan was not this big, right?"
