In the Heavens - Vol 6 Chapter 106
Popular recommendation:
After revisiting the old place and stepping into the Daxiong Palace again, Sun Wukong was still a little uneasy in his heart. The last time I fell down here, I spent five hundred years in prison.
Even if he joined the Buddhist scriptures team and became the technical responsible for the most valuable project in Buddhism, he was still very afraid of Sun Wukong, the Holy Land of Lingshan.
[The book chasing app recommended to me by an old book friend who I have known for ten years, Mimi read! It’s so easy to use, I rely on this reading aloud to pass the time before driving and before going to bed, you can download it here]
Of course, these are all hidden deep in the heart. The Sun Wukong on the bright side is still a hozen who “is not afraid of the sky and the earth”.
They were all forced out by the cruel world. Originally, Sun Wukong was an honest and dutiful monkey, but now he has to show his unruly side due to reality.
There is no way, it is human nature to bully the soft and fear the hard. If he doesn’t show strength, it is estimated that the gods and Buddhas in the sky will not put him in the eyes.
Although Sun Wukong himself doesn’t know whether this pretended strength is effective for the great powers of Buddhism, there are really not many choices for him now.
“I have seen all the Buddhas, my grandson is polite here!”
While speaking, Sun Wukong clasped his hands together, and nodded at the Buddhas in Lingshan, which was considered a salute. It’s just that with his hozen appearance, no matter how you look at it, it makes people feel funny. .
“Pohou, why don’t you **** Tang Sanzang to get the scriptures, what are you doing in my Mahavira Hall?”
Tathagata asked angrily.
As the most important and strategic project of Buddhism, Tathagata has always been the focus of attention to the movement of the team of Journey to the West. It can be said that every move in the Mahjong Village has not been concealed from the Tathagata’s eyes.
It is precisely because of knowing that the Tathagata has no good face towards the Sun Wukong who sent him to the door. In the past, when encountering little monsters and mobs, he didn’t go to Lingshan for help, but now when he encounters hard bones, he thinks of him.
If you are sure, the Tathagata would not mind doing it smoothly, and then take a share of the merits from it. But the problem is that this bone doesn’t have much flesh, but it is surprisingly hard. If you bite it, you might lose your teeth.
“Buddha, you old man don’t want to see jokes. My old grandson escorted Master westward to study Buddhist scriptures and strayed into a strange cottage. There were neither demons nor ghosts in it.
But there are restrictions all over the stockade, and if you have supernatural powers under the restriction, you will be suppressed to the point of being like a mortal.
The thieves in the village were even more strange. They neither robbed money nor loot, but they took out a game called Mahjong and asked Master to accompany them to play. Only after winning the game can we let the four of us, master and apprentice, leave.
However, this game is weird and tricky, and even with my grandson’s ingenuity, it is difficult to understand the mystery.
Even the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, who has great magical powers, was trapped in the stockade and could not escape after entering. If it weren’t for my old grandson being clever and waiting for an opportunity to run out and ask for help, I’m afraid…
Forget it, stop talking about these useless nonsense. Buddha, your old man has great powers, come down the mountain with my grandson, and break through that strange mahjong village! ”
Listening to Sun Wukong boasting, the smile on Tathagata’s face became less and less. If he didn’t know the inside story, he might have been fooled.
“Splashing monkeys, don’t make a fool of yourself here. Venerable Guanyin, he clearly asked you to go to the Chen Emperor’s Palace for help, why did you go to my Daxiong Palace to be savage?”
It’s not that the Tathagata has no bearing, it’s just that this little brother is too worried, and he knows that there is a big trouble, and even pulls him into the pit.
According to the pre-agreed rules, the catastrophe set up by the gods and Buddhas in the sky, as long as the person who takes the scriptures finds the original owner for help, the catastrophe is over.
There are simple operations Sun Wukong does not choose, but he has to choose the most difficult one, which makes the Tathagata numb his scalp.
If it were other great powers, he might be able to take advantage of the situation to sell Buddhism a face, but the heart of Gou Chen Dadi Tathagata is not sure.
Everything comes from strength. If he can do it well, the Tathagata would naturally not mind pushing the boat along the river, and he would teach the Great Emperor Gouchen a lesson and swear to the Three Realms the majesty of Buddhism.
It’s a pity that in this era when the saints are gone, he, the highest combat power of Buddhism, is not the opponent of Emperor Gouchen. Send it to the door and let others pretend to be slapped in the face, the Tathagata is not so brainless.
If you encounter someone who is the strongest in loose cultivators, it’s a big deal to make a big siege with all the soldiers of Buddhism and Taoism, just like the old ancestor of Ming He before.
But the Great Emperor Chen is different, as a special existence that is connected to the heaven, the Taoist sect, and the human race at the same time. If Buddhism were to take action against him, it would definitely cause a single blow to move the whole body, triggering the Three Realms War.
“Buddha, what you said makes my grandson dissatisfied! Traveling to the west to study Buddhist scriptures is a matter of Buddhism, how can you always trouble outsiders?
I have pity on my master, a first-class mortal mortal, for the great cause of Buddhism, he came all the way from Dongtu Tangtang to worship Buddha and ask for scriptures. He encountered small twists and turns on the way and was disliked.
If your old man finds it troublesome, my old grandson doesn’t mind being a little tired for Buddhism Daxing. You hand over the scriptures to me, and I will send them to the Tang Dynasty today.
In short, Buddha, today you have to give my grandson a saying. Otherwise, I won’t be leaving today! ”
Sun Wukong said irrationally.
Seeing the expression filled with righteous indignation and the hozen appearance on his face, all the Buddhas in Lingshan couldn’t help laughing. For a time, the solemn and solemn atmosphere of the Mahavira Hall disappeared.
“Splashing monkeys, don’t splash on me. Everything in the world has its origin. When you encounter a problem, you don’t think about the source to find a solution, and you run into my spiritual mountain to splash. What’s the reason?
Go to the Heavenly Court and find the way to break the robbery from Emperor Gouchen. Beware of delay and change, causing unpredictable things! ”
While speaking, Tathagata’s eyes had already focused on Sun Wukong. As if being stared at by some great terror, Sun Wukong, who was about to pull the Tathagata to jump into the pit, suddenly woke up, and the monkey body began to sweat.
Reason told him that if he continued to make trouble here, he would not be able to please him today. Maybe the Tathagata didn’t get caught, so I first had to doubt the monkey life.
Although he had already compromised in his heart, Sun Wukong still said rebelliously on his face: “Humph! Buddha, you will bully an honest monkey like my old grandson.
I think that Buddhism is also a powerful force in the Three Realms, and the stalwart of Buddhism is even more unparalleled. There is only a mahjong village, and I have to ask for help from outsiders.
Before Sun Wukong could continue to speak, he was thrown out of Lingshan Holy Land. Obviously, Tathagata couldn’t help but break the defense after all.
After turning over a dozen somersaults in a row, and barely stabilizing his body, Sun Wukong reached out and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.
As a party, he is very aware of the danger just now. However, this trial was not in vain. It not only proved that he was valuable to Buddhism, but also let him know that Buddha was not truly invincible.
Glancing at the direction of Lingshan, Sun Wukong directly performed somersaults and headed towards heaven. In his mind, he has secretly started to figure out how to get rid of Buddhism’s control.
It’s a pity that no matter how he wants to break his head, he can’t find a way to break the game. The easiest way is to seek the protection of the powerful, but who will confront Buddhism for his wild monkey?
Thinking back five hundred years ago, when he was so stable in the heavenly court, he still couldn’t escape Buddhism’s calculations, which is enough to explain a lot of problems.
The attitude of the gods and Buddhas in the sky told him that this journey to the west was not easy.
It’s just a matter of spreading the Dharma to the east, just send someone to send the scriptures there, there’s absolutely no need to do so much nonsense.
Stepping into the Gouchen Emperor Palace, Sun Wukong’s expression suddenly became solemn. Just from the guards he saw along the way, dozens of people were not under his cultivation.
Reminiscent of the time when Guanyin and Tathagata mentioned Gou Chen the Great, the thick dread between the eyebrows made Sun Wukong dare not take it lightly.
“I have seen the emperor!”
Seeing the funny appearance of Sun Wukong’s restrained salute, Li Mu couldn’t help laughing and scolding: “What are you doing here with this emperor without escorting Tang Sanzang to the west to study scriptures?
You must know that this emperor has no friendship with you, hozen, and Buddhism’s face is not good here. ”
In the era of the great prosperity of Buddhism and Taoism, there are not many who dare to say that there is a gap between Buddhism and Buddhism. Falling into the eyes of Sun Wukong, that is almost a naked hint.
“Your Majesty, my old grandson escorted my master to the west to fetch scriptures, and accidentally entered a mahjong village, and I was trapped in it.
Perhaps seeing that Li Mu had a bad relationship with Buddhism, Sun Wukong decisively chose to omit Guanyin and Tathagata, and replaced them with “instructions by people”.
With a wave of his hand, Li Mu laughed and said, “You hozen, you are so dishonest! It was you who discovered that the bandit in the cottage was transformed by this emperor’s gatekeeper, and wanted to come and ask Zhen Xingshi to ask his guilt, and give it back when it happened. So many excuses.
Yes, the Mahjong Village was set up by the emperor to deliberately prevent your master and apprentice from going west to learn scriptures, but what can you do? ”
Hearing this domineering answer, Sun Wukong’s entire monkey was confused. In the past, when encountering immortal Buddha mounts and doing things in the lower realm, everyone made excuses to deal with it. Such a carefree and open admission was the first time he encountered him.
“Great Emperor, our master and apprentice ran all the way from the Eastern Land and Tang Dynasty to seek the scriptures in the Western Heaven. You can’t do anything without helping, how can you…”
Sun Wukong asked as much as he could control his tone. It seems that he wants to seek justice, but he has no bottom in his heart.
With a “snack” sound, Sun Wukong, the old man after being hit, looked at Li Mu aggrievedly, as if he wanted to know why he was beaten.
Seeing this scene, Li Mu shook his head and said, “You hozen, you are really dishonest, you really deserve to be beaten!
Don’t play tricks in front of me, I know exactly what you’re thinking in your heart. If someone obstructs the study of scriptures, you may be too happy to be happy, so why is there any grievance?
It’s just destined to disappoint you. I set up the mahjong village just to test the wisdom of those who learn from the scriptures, not to destroy the great cause of learning scriptures.
If you want to use my hands to get rid of Buddhist calculations and escape the prison of fate, you are probably thinking too much.
Among the Three Realms, there are not a few great men who dare to offend Buddhism, but the only one who can help you is yourself. It’s not that everyone can’t do it, but that you’re not worth letting us do it.
Don’t put on such a ghostly look. The Tathagata has not yet had the courage to peep at my imperial palace, and he will not know what happened here. ”
When it comes to doing things, Li Mu is a professional. Monkeys like Sun Wukong who have been severely beaten by society are often the most vigilant, and it is difficult to truly trust people.
When encountering this kind of guy, the best way is to directly spread the matter. Whether he believed it or not, a seed of doubt was planted deep in his heart.
It seemed that there was a fierce inner struggle. After a while, Sun Wukong, who was sweating on his forehead, couldn’t help but ask: “Great Emperor, I don’t know what is special about this stone monkey, why does it lead to repeated calculations from Buddhism?”
“Don’t you already have the answer in your heart? It’s a waste of time to ask me again. Well, we don’t have friendship, and I don’t have the time to answer your questions.
Take my first order to the lower realm. After they see it, they will release water in the next fight and let you master and apprentice leave.
I hope that the next time we meet, you can become smarter, otherwise, you will be eaten and wiped clean, and you will not know it! ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Sun Wukong understood the hint, Li Mu directly waved him and threw him out of the heaven.
Anyone who can remind it has reminded that if the involvement is too deep, the two Western Saints are not easy to mess with.
Even if you want to do something, it has to be after the end of Journey to the West. Now Fumen has the help of heaven and earth, and is in a period of rapid rise in luck.
It doesn’t matter if you beat them in the dark, it doesn’t matter if you have a proper back leg, it’s easy to suffer a big loss when you face them directly.
Not being able to see all the Buddhas in Lingshan sit and play mahjong together, although it is a great regret in life. But being able to let Guanyin jump in is also a good result.
With this lesson, it is estimated that the next time he sets up a catastrophe, people in Buddhism will be cautious, cautious and cautious.
…
Back at the Mahjong Village, Sun Wukong decisively concealed everything that happened in the Gouchen Emperor’s Palace.
Reason tells him that if the content of the conversation with Li Mu is revealed, Fomen and Emperor Gouchen will not know whether they will meet, anyway, the monkey involved must be dead.
Recalling the conversation just now, Sun Wukong always felt that the Great Emperor Gouchen was implying something, especially the last sentence of profound reminder, which made him horrified, as if a major crisis was approaching him.
Although he didn’t know what was about to happen, Sun Wukong secretly raised his vigilance and became more cautious.
After shaking the first order given by Li Mu to a group of “bandits”, the barrier that originally surrounded the mahjong village was instantly broken, and a new round of mahjong competition also kicked off.
Without the barrier of enchantment, Tang Sanzang, who was at the head of fortune, finally won the highlight of his life at the poker table. With a few Tianhus, the victory was directly determined.
The water release was so obvious that Tang Sanzang couldn’t believe it himself, but he couldn’t hold back a few apprentices madly flattering.
If not for the presence of Guanyin, Tang Sanzang restrained his emotions, UU reading www.uukanshu. com doesn’t know what to expect yet.
Seeing the end of the matter, Wang An, the heavenly general who turned into a great master, immediately cupped his hands to the four monks, master and apprentice: “Monk Wuna, congratulations on winning this mahjong competition.
My brothers are all people of faith. Since you won the game, you naturally have to abide by the agreement and let you go.
It is rare for all of you to meet here. There is nothing to say to our brothers when we leave today, so I will simply give this pair of mahjong to your master and apprentice, so that you can relieve your boredom on the westbound journey!
We are all rude, so don’t talk nonsense. I wish you to obtain the true scriptures as soon as possible, to achieve fruitful results, and to get rid of the sufferings of the world. ”
“Amitabha! Thank you for your warm hospitality. These days, poor monks, teachers and apprentices are harassing Guizhai, which is really unrewarding.
When our masters and disciples obtain the scriptures and return, they will definitely come to visit us, and we will also invite a few masters to give us some advice when they arrive! ”
It can be seen that Tang Sanzang is still very grateful to the several masters of Mahjong Village. It was looted in name, but in fact it was served with good food every day.
Starting from the Tang Dynasty in the East to the West to obtain the scriptures, I have experienced countless difficulties and obstacles along the way, but these days in Mahjong Village are the most relaxing.
From frugality to extravagance is easy, from extravagance to frugality is difficult. After experiencing the comfortable life in the mahjong village, he will soon have to live the hard days of sleeping in the open, hungry and full. Although Tang Sanzang has a firm heart, it is inevitable that he will feel a little sad.
If it wasn’t for Guanyin Bodhisattva watching, Tang Sanzang would have wished to spend more time in the Mahjong Village.
Just as the two were talking, Zhu Bajie had already taken the lead, putting away the mahjong on the card table and putting it into Sha Wujing’s burden.
The speed was so fast that even Guanyin had no time to stop it.
