Journey Starts From Wudang - Chapter 533
Seeing that the Tathagata has no intention to open the dispute between Taoism and Buddhism and compete with the Xuanmen for incense belief, the long ear dingguang Buddha has no more words.
After all, the most important thing for them at the moment is to complete the journey to the West. Only by making the merit of this journey to the west can their beliefs and teachings of Western Buddhism be spread and usher in the opportunity of prosperity.
So now for them, many things need to be put down for the time being. It doesn’t matter if they suffer some losses for the time being. They can still tell which is more important. How can they do that kind of thing when they lose watermelons and pick up sesame seeds.
The Tathagata said, “well, let’s put down the car for the time being. It’s not too late to think about it in the future. Long ear dingguang Buddha, if you have nothing to report again, go back and urge Xuanzang’s teachers and disciples to complete the great cause of the journey to the West as soon as possible.”
The long ear dingguang Buddha nodded. Just as he wanted to leave, he suddenly remembered another thing.
“By the way, Buddha, I have one more thing to tell the Buddha.”
“What’s up?”
“It’s the monkey king!”
The long ear dingguang Buddha looked solemn and said, “the Buddha didn’t know something, but now the monkey king is more and more cunning and unruly.”
“This time, the Tang Monk’s masters and disciples passed by Chechi country. I wanted to use the hands of Tang Monk’s masters and disciples to fight with the three demons in Chechi country. I just removed them and hit the arrogance of the Oriental Xuanmen.”
“But who knows, the monkey king is crafty and slippery. He doesn’t work hard. He deliberately broke our calculations and let our Buddhism lose face again before the Xuanmen. It can’t be so easy.”
“Now, I’m afraid the monkey king has turned against the Buddha, deliberately helping outsiders everywhere and harming our Buddhist interests, but he can’t go on like this.”
“So I dare to ask the Buddha if he should send six ears…”
“Long ear dingguang Buddha, speak carefully!” The Tathagata frowned and interrupted the long eared dingguang Buddha.
This matter is related to his profound calculations. Not only the heavenly court and the Xuanmen, but also his Buddhism needs to be concealed. Only a few people know it, how can they easily announce it to the mouth?
Seeing that the Tathagata was not worried, the long ear dingguang Buddha quickly apologized and said, “Buddha forgive me.”
The Tathagata nodded: “well, you don’t have to mention it anymore. I have my own arrangements.”
“Yes, Buddha.”
Not to mention the conversation arrangement between the Tathagata and the long ear dingguang Buddha, it is said that after leaving Chechi country, the Tang Monk’s teachers and disciples went all the way. During this period, they encountered several difficulties, but they were easily resolved by the monkey king and Tianpeng until
On this day, Tang Monk’s teachers and disciples came to a place called Jindou mountain. On the way, Tang monk was hungry and thirsty, but there was no dry food in the package, and there was no family within hundreds of miles. They could only let the monkey king, who had the fastest foot, go out for alms.
The remaining teachers and disciples continued to move forward. It was also a coincidence that they went less than two miles and saw a family in a high house and courtyard.
Although it is hard to avoid doubt that a dignified family suddenly appears in the wilderness, Tianpeng doesn’t see anything wrong from the family. He also sees cooking smoke in the courtyard. A burst of steamed bread aroma comes, and Tianpeng simply doesn’t tangle with anything anymore.
Whether he is a real family or a monster cave, it’s OK to have steamed bread. Even if the monsters live here, it’s a big deal to send them away.
The teachers and disciples came forward and knocked on the door. Then they saw a dignified middle-aged man with a wide forehead sword eyebrow coming out of the hospital. Tianpeng looked at him carefully. He didn’t see anything wrong, so he smiled.
“Benefactor, I and Shifu’s younger martial brother are monks who went to the west to worship the Buddha and pray for scriptures from the eastern Tang Dynasty. Passing by here, I was hungry and thirsty. When I saw the smoke rising in the benefactor’s house, I had the thick face to come to make a fortune, and asked the benefactor to give some steamed bread to the monk.”
The middle-aged man looked at Tianpeng, his eyes flashed, and said with a smile: “it was an eminent monk from the eastern Tang Dynasty. Please come in quickly. It happened that I had steamed a drawer of steamed bread in my house, so I asked several masters to have a full stomach.”
Tianpeng several people entered the courtyard and came to the hall. After the middle-aged man went out, he soon returned with several plates of steamed bread to entertain Tianpeng and others.
Tang Monk quickly saluted and thanked, “thank you, benefactor.”
The middle-aged man just smiled carelessly.
“By the way, I haven’t asked for your name, benefactor?”
“My surname is Qing, and every word is a pocket.”
“It’s green benefactor.”
Green pocket? What a strange name. Tianpeng feels vaguely that he seems to have heard the name from somewhere.
After several people exchanged names and names, they knew each other, so they chatted. After chatting for a while, Tang Monk and several people also ate steamed bread. Qingdou suddenly said.
“By the way, I have heard that there is a Tang monk who came from the East. He is a good man of reincarnation for ten generations. If he can eat a piece of his meat, he can live forever. This Tang Monk… Should be a master?”
Hearing the speech, the Tang Monk’s master and apprentice’s face suddenly changed. Tianpeng summoned his nine tooth rake and took the Tang Monk behind him. The alert Chao qingdou asked, “who are you?”
Qingdou glanced at Tianpeng and said with a smile, “hahaha, then look at me. Who am I!”
Buzz!
A wave of ripples flashed from the space in an instant. In the next moment, the hall with flying eaves turned into a cave in an instant, and there were strange little demons around the Tang Monk’s teachers and disciples in an instant.
What high house is that here? It’s clearly a demon cave!
The green bag also showed a monster with a blue face, which scared the Tang monk.
“Damn it! We’ve been tricked by monsters!” Tianpeng drank loudly, suddenly burst up, waved the rake in his hand, and hit the green bag.
“Younger martial brother Sha! I’ll deal with the monster. Please protect Shifu from the demon cave. When I solve the monster, I’ll come to you.”
“Hum!” Qingdou snorted coldly, “my cave, can you come and go when you say you can?”
And Tianpeng, you dare to attack me. I have to deal with you today!
Qingdou raised his hand and grabbed it in the empty air. A golden light was immediately caught by him. With a flash of light, it turned into an ancient steel bracelet engraved with countless mantras.
He also saw that qingdou threw the steel bracelet in his hand at Tianpeng, and the nine tooth rake in Tianpeng suddenly flew out of his hand and was covered by the steel bracelet.
“Diamond bracelet?!” Tianpeng screamed as if he had seen a ghost, and then he was hit by the steel bracelet. Suddenly, he fell to the ground and fainted.
When hearing Tianpeng shout out the diamond bracelet, monk Sha also changed his complexion. Similarly, he was knocked to the ground by the steel bracelet before he could make any response.
The white dragon horse not far away saw the end of Tianpeng and monk Sha. The faint light on his body dimmed in an instant. He really turned his head like an ordinary horse
In an instant, there was only Tang Monk standing in place, and he didn’t know how to react.
“Well, Tang monk, you don’t have to be afraid. I won’t eat you these days. In a few months, it will be new year’s Eve. Then I’ll wash and peel you and make dumplings.”
Tang Monk couldn’t help feeling sad and angry when he heard the speech. In the final analysis, shouldn’t he still eat the poor monk? It’s the same to eat now, or wait for January and the new year?!
“Big… King, please let me go.”
“No, I was ready a few months ago, and I specially asked the children to brew a jar of vinegar and store it, waiting to eat Tang Monk meat dumplings for the new year. How can I let you go because of your monk’s word?”
Tang monk said again, “king, although the poor monk and three disciples have fallen into your hands, I still have a big disciple, Sun Wukong, who was the saint of heaven in those days.”
“If you know that you have caught the poor monk, you must come to the king’s cave to make trouble, which will disturb the king’s life. Can’t the king release the poor monk and turn fighting into friendship?”
Qingdou just disdained to smile and said, “monk Tang, you want to scare me with that Bi Mawen, but you have made a wrong idea. Others are afraid of that Bi Mawen, and I’m not afraid of him.”
