Next stop, Liusha River.
The life of Monk Sha is quite legendary. Of course, the lives of the gods and monsters in Journey to the West are not legendary, so Monk Sha's life seems rather mediocre.
The original name of Monk Sha is unknown. When he was wandering around the world when he was young, he met a real person. After completing the Three Thousand Gong, he was personally named the General of the Curtain Curtain by the Jade Emperor and served under the Royal Highness Lingxiao.
The so-called Curtain General is far different from Zhu Bajie's Tianpeng Marshal. There are bead curtains made of pearls in the Jade Emperor's Lingxiao Palace. Rolling up the bead curtains is his main job.
After completing three thousand meritorious deeds, one can get such an insignificant position. One can imagine what kind of attitude the heavens have towards gods with no background.
Wu Chengen's Journey to the West has a very profound analysis of the strict barriers to heaven and the sophistication of human beings. It is just a metaphor for people, referring to mulberry trees and cursing mulberry trees.
Since Monk Sha broke the glass lamp at the Peach Fair, the value of its use has been completely lost. The number of Immortal Masters of the Disc Book is limited. If an immortal who is lucky enough to be admitted to the Disc Book by virtue of his own practice makes a mistake, even if it is just Sesame Big. There is absolutely no reason to stay in heaven and enjoy happiness.
Originally, the Jade Emperor wanted to kill him.
But Sha Monk was quite honest and honest, especially since he had been serving the Jade Emperor conscientiously. Finally, someone came forward to intercede.
Naturally, those who plead for mercy will not be those second-generation immortals with upright roots and young talents, but the immortals who have also achieved positive results through their own cultivation step by step.
Barefoot Immortal.
The Barefoot Immortal is a loose immortal, but his status in the fairy world is not low. Under normal circumstances, he is always wandering around. He often descends to the human world to help humans eradicate demons. He has an easy-going temperament and usually treats people with a smile, and he is also open to monsters with good intentions. It is said that the Barefoot Immortal possesses a rare treasure that does not belong to the six realms, making him not afraid of any poison.
This barefoot immortal is also one of the few loose immortals who can be personally invited by the Jade Emperor to participate in the peach feast.
Life and death are only in the Jade Emperor's thoughts. As soon as the Barefoot Immortal opened his mouth, the Jade Emperor gave him a favor and spared Sha Seng the death penalty. However, the death penalty was avoidable, but the living penalty was unavoidable. He was demoted to the Liusha River and had to pay his dues every seven days. He will be punished by flying swords piercing his chest and sides.
This kind of punishment was extremely cruel, with a flying sword piercing his chest and side more than a hundred times at a time, which made Sha Monk's pupils extremely pale.
When he was unbearably hungry and cold, he went out to the Liusha River for two or three days to find a passerby to eat, and finally bumped into Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva went to Nanfanbuzhou to look for Buddhist scriptures. When passing by the Liusha River, he jumped out of the river and attacked Guanyin. Mu Zha stopped him and fought for dozens of rounds with no outcome. After Mu Zha reported himself to his family, Sha Wujing realized that he was rude and hurriedly bowed his head to Guanyin.
What is different from Zhu Bajie is that he confessed that he had eaten nine Buddhist pilgrims in Liusha River. When he saw that the skeletons of Buddhist pilgrims could float on the Liusha River where even goose feathers could not float, he thought it was unusual, so he tied it up with a rope. Play around.
The Bodhisattva asked Sha Wujing to keep the skull necklace until the Buddhist monks could cross the river. Then he named Sha Wujing as his surname and gave him a Dharma name of Sha Wujing.
The process of collecting Sha Seng is not the same as Zhu Bajie, but it is also very interesting.
As soon as the group arrived at the Liusha River, the mixed yellow water stirred up thousands of waves. Amidst the turbulent waves, Monk Sha jumped out and went straight to Monk Tang.
Tang Seng was even somewhat used to it and was no longer as panicked as he was when he first saw General Yin.
I guess he has understood it clearly, and I guess he has no say in whether he will die or not. Since the Buddha said that everything has cause and effect, just let nature take its course.
However, the buzzing of his lips as he silently recited the Heart Sutra taught to him by Zen Master Wuchao revealed his panic.
"The Sword Comes"
Sun Wukong took Tang Seng away, leaving Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha fighting on the spot.
Everyone in the team was watching the show.
Twenty rounds later, Sun Wukong left and returned.
In fact, it can be seen from the fact that Zhu Bajie and Monk Sha fought for a long time without distinction. In terms of paper strength, Sha He is not necessarily inferior to Marshal Tianpeng. But the same is true for gods. People with the same person have different destiny. Marshal Peng, the other one can only be a general who rolls up the bead curtain, which is really ironic.
Sun Wukong joined the battle, and the battle naturally became one-sided.
Monk Sha was soon defeated and escaped into the water.
As a monkey, Sun Wukong can swim, but he is not good at water fighting, so he asked Zhu Bajie to go down and lure Sha Monk up.
Zhu Bajie stood outside Sha Seng's water house, cursing him for being a coward when he came out to challenge your grandpa if he had the ability. Are you just a coward and are you used to it? Your head is just like that of a bastard, it's all bald. .
The Sha Seng in Shuifu got angry and yelled that apart from being good at cursing, your kung fu was mediocre.
Zhu Bajie said that my rake is indeed average, but it is the best for hunting turtles. Do you want to try it?
Sha Seng said that if you have the ability, don't call him a monkey.
Zhu Bajie won’t bark if he doesn’t bark.
The two were fighting under the water again.
Zhu Bajie fought and retreated, and was about to lure Sha Monk out of the Liusha River. Sun Wukong outside was in a hurry again, and the golden cudgel turned into a hundred feet, and he hit Sha Monk down toward the water. As a result, Sha Monk was left alone. Son, he slithered back into his cave and never came out again.
Zhu Bajie's yelling and scolding continued, and Sha Monk retorted. Sometimes he wouldn't say anything if he couldn't scold him. Anyway, no matter how you flirted with him, he just refused to come out of the cave to fight with him.
Everyone in the team listened with great interest on the shore, thinking that the gods and monsters who cursed the streets were not much different from the shrews. What kind of filthy words were they talking about? The two girls, Nuo Lan and Sun Jie, looked a little confused.
It was Qi Zhen who suggested to Sun Wukong that, Great Sage, you go find the protector Mu Zha next to Guanyin Bodhisattva, maybe it will be useful.
As soon as Mu Zha arrived, things took a turn for the better.
Only then did Sha Monk realize that the person in front of him was the one the Bodhisattva wanted him to wait for, so he hurriedly became his disciple.
But he still doesn't have a good attitude towards Zhu Bajie.
The main reason is that the scolding the two of them just exchanged was too unpleasant. With their biological mother as the center and the eighteen generations of their ancestors as the radius, they said all the unpleasant things.
However, the third junior brother was still the last one to get started. No matter how reluctant he was, Sha Seng, who was originally quite honest and honest, had to call the second senior brother Zhu Bajie under the stern gaze of Tang Monk. There was no other way.
Zhu Bajie, if you want to say he is bad, you can't say that, but there is still some evil in his belly.
He pouted at the luggage. According to the rules of our school, the youngest is responsible for carrying the luggage. When the master accepts a new apprentice, you can give him this job.
It is estimated that none of the four masters and disciples expected that Sha Seng would be the last disciple Tang Seng accepted. Sha Seng used his Zen staff to pick up the burden, and this challenge came to an end.
Monk Tang saw these little fights, but he didn't actually care about the little fights of his disciples. As a leader, if his disciples were harmonious, he might be in misfortune.
Sha Monk placed nine skeletons on the red gourd brought by Mu Zha to form a Dharma boat, and took Tang Monk across the Liusha River.
Sha Seng was a taciturn person. He only nodded and greeted everyone in the team and did not interact too much. Everyone in the team also enjoyed their leisure time. They looked at the four masters and apprentices who were finally together every day and comforted them.
However, soon, a difficulty ahead caused the team and the four masters and apprentices to completely part ways.
On this day, a group of people came to an unknown barren mountain and saw a clean farm, where they were ready to rest.
The person who opened the door was a young woman with a rather delicate appearance. The first time Wang Jianguo saw her, he said that this woman's appearance was too charming, and she was a seductive temptress even in modern society.
From the moment Zhu Bajie saw the other person for the first time, his eyes were fixed and he could no longer move away. He looked over and over at the slender waist and plump buttocks, almost drooling.
There were four mothers and daughters in the villa, an old lady and her three daughters. The three daughters had different looks, but there was no doubt that they were all beauties in the world, and it was dazzling to see.
Zhu Bajie kept wiping the corners of his mouth, looking like he was greedy. Wang Jianguo squinted his eyes and marveled. These three pretty girls in this wilderness are probably not ordinary people.
There is nothing that Wang Jianguo can't understand that the rest of the team can't understand.
Lin Biao and Qi Zhen, in particular, were calm and distant, as if they knew something was going to happen.
The mother and daughter were not afraid of the strange looks of Tang Seng's master and apprentice. On the contrary, the old woman told Tang Seng that all three daughters were old enough to get married, so it would be better for Tang Seng's apprentices to marry them one by one.
It was impossible for Monk Tang to agree. Sun Wukong and Monk Sha were not very interested in women either. Only Zhu Bajie kept shouting "Hello" and wished he could enter the bridal chamber tonight.
Qi Zhen was cautious because he knew what this story was about, while Lin Biao saw the aura of gods and Buddhas in the four people.
But both Qi Zhen and Lin Biao knew that the purpose of the other party's trip was definitely not just to test the four masters and disciples of Tang Seng.
Qi Zhen suggested living outside the village, and everyone in the team had no objections. Miraculously, the four mothers and daughters did not raise any objections, and allowed the team to walk out of the village.
That night, trouble finally came to the door.
The old woman and her three daughters found the camp where the team was stationed, got straight to the point, and invited the team to Lingshan again.
Everyone was a little puzzled. Lin Biao had already said that he couldn't go through with it before, so why did he change his mind now?
No one knows how the other party plans the team, but the identities of the four mother and daughter at least represent that the other party is bound to win this time.
The scene that Qi Zhen was most afraid of finally appeared.
The four mother and daughter transformed and revealed their true bodies.
The old woman still looked like an old woman, but the divine light on her body was surging, making it difficult to look directly at her. Even Lin Bian and Nuo Lan were suppressed by this divine power and could not move, with horrified expressions on their faces, not to mention the others.
The three daughters showed their true bodies, and a corona appeared behind each of their heads. They were solemn and pure, reflecting the world as if it were daytime. However, except for the team, no living creature could notice anything strange here. Even Sun Wukong in Zhuangzi, who is very close at hand, is no exception.
