"The Book of Songs" said: delusions no longer force to die, if the truth is so, why hope? Originally, the Buddha's nature was cultivated before, but how can confusion and enlightenment be ranked before and after?
Enlightenment is to become right in an instant, confusion and thousands of tribulations flow down. If you can combine your thoughts with true cultivation, you can wipe out all the sins in the endless sand.
After thirty rounds of fighting, neither of them won. Why do you think it's a tie? In terms of gambling skills, even twenty monks wouldn't be able to defeat that demon, let alone two monks. Because Tang Sanzang was not destined to die, he was secretly protected by the guardian deity. In the air, there were also the Six Dings and Six Jia, the Five Directions Jiedushi, the Four Duty Cao, and the Eighteen Guardian Temples to help Bajie and Monk Sand.
Putting aside the battle between the three of them, the elder was crying in the cave. He thought about his disciple and said with tears in his eyes,"Wu Neng, I don't know which village you met a good friend in, but you're greedy for vegetarian offerings! Wujing, you don't know where to find him. Who knew that I would encounter demons and suffer here! When will I meet you? After escaping the disaster, I'll go to Spirited Mountain as soon as possible!”Just as he was wailing and feeling vexed, he suddenly saw a woman walk out of the cave, holding onto the Soul Stabilizing Pillar and shouting,""Elder, where did you come from? Why are you tied up here?" When the elder heard this, he peeked at the woman with tears in his eyes. She was about 30 years old, so he said,"Female Bodhisattva, there's no need to ask. I already deserve to die. If you want to eat, then eat. Why are you asking?”"I don't eat people," the woman said. My house is more than three hundred miles west of here. There was a city there called the Treasure Elephant Country. I am the third princess of that king, and my childhood name is Bai Huashu. Thirteen years ago, on the night of the fifteenth day of the eighth month, in the middle of the moon, she was brought back by a gust of wind by this demon and became his wife for thirteen years. In this life, I have raised children, but I have never heard from them. I think about my parents and can't see them. Where did you get caught by him?" "I was sent to the Western Paradise to fetch scriptures," said the Tang Priest."I was just taking a stroll and accidentally stumbled into this place. Now you want to capture my two disciples and steam them together.”The princess smiled apologetically." Elder, don't worry. Since you're here to learn the scriptures, I can save you." Baoxiang Country is the main road to the west. Take a letter with me and pay respects to my parents. I'll ask them to forgive you.”"Female Bodhisattva," said Sanzang with a nod,"if you can save my life, I'm willing to be the one to deliver the letter."”The princess quickly turned around and wrote a letter to her family. After sealing it, she went to the stump to release Tang Sanzang and handed the letter to him. Tang Sanzang was freed. He held the book in his hand and said,""Female Bodhisattva, thank you for saving my life. This poor monk will go to your place and send you to the king. I'm just afraid that after a long time, your parents won't acknowledge each other. What can I do? Don't blame me for lying." "No harm," said the princess."My father has no children and only gave birth to three of my sisters. If he reads this letter, he will certainly have the intention of looking at me. Sanzang tightly held the letter in his sleeve, thanked the Princess, and walked out. The Princess pulled him back and said,"You can't get out of the front door! Those big and small demons are waving flags and shouting outside the door, beating drums and sifting gongs to help the king fight with your disciple. Go to the back door. If the king catches you, he will interrogate you. I'm just afraid that if the little demon catches you, it won't care if it's good or bad, and it'll harm your life. Wait for me to go to him and make it convenient. If the king lets you go, wait for your disciple to ask for a favor, and then we can go together.”Hearing this, Sanzang kowtowed and respectfully followed the instructions. He bid farewell to the Princess and hid outside the back door. He did not dare to move himself and hid in the thorns.
As for the Princess, she came up with a clever plan. She rushed forward and separated the demons from the crowd. The clanging of weapons could be heard. It turned out to be Pig, Monk Sand, and the monster fighting in midair. "Yellow Robed Man!" the princess shouted.”When the demon king heard the princess's cry, he immediately threw away Bajie and Monk Sand, pressed down on the cloud, grabbed his steel knife, and held the princess."Hunjia, what do you have to say?" "Langjun," said the princess,"I was sleeping in the drapery just now. In my dream, I suddenly saw a golden-armored god.”"That Gold-armored God?" the demon asked. Why are you coming to my door?" "When I was young, I made a wish to the gods in the palace. If you can recruit a virtuous son-in-law, go to a famous mountain, worship the immortal mansion, fast monks and give alms. Ever since I married you, the husband and wife have had a happy time, and we haven't talked about it until now. That golden armored god came to ask for a vow and woke me up, but it was just a dream. Therefore, I urgently came to you to tell you that there was a monk tied to the stake. I hope you will have mercy on me. Please forgive that monk and treat him as a monk who has fulfilled his wish. I wonder if you are willing?”"Hunjia," said the monster,"you're being paranoid! What urgent matter? If I want to eat people, how can I not fish a few to eat? Let this monk go wherever he goes.”"Langjun, let him go through the back door," said the princess.”"What a nuisance," said the demon."Let him go. Who cares about the back door or the front door?"”"Come here, Pigsy," he shouted, clutching his steel knife. It's not that I'm afraid of you and won't fight you. On account of my Hun family, I'll spare your master. Go to the back door as soon as possible, find him, and go west. If you invade my realm again, I won't forgive you!”
When Bajie and Monk Sand heard this, they felt as if they had been released from the gates of hell. They quickly led their horses and carried their load, scurrying away like rats. They turned around the back door of the cave and shouted,""Master!" The elder recognized the voice and agreed. Friar Sand cut open the grass path, helped his master up, and hurriedly mounted the horse. Here-
He was vicious and nearly met a blue-faced ghost. Fortunately, he was diligent and had a hundred flowers to shame. The turtle fish took off the golden hook and shook its head to swim in the waves.
Bajie led the way, followed by Friar Sand. They left the pine forest and went on the main road. Look at the two of them making a racket and complaining, but Sanzang only tried to mediate. At night, he first checked in, and the rooster crowed early to look at the sky. One journey after another, long pavilion and short pavilion, unconsciously walked two hundred and ninety-nine miles. He raised his head and saw a good city. It was Bao Xiang Country. What a nice place--
The clouds were vast and the road was long. Although the land is thousands of miles away, the scenery is as rich as usual. Auspicious mist shrouded the place, and the wind and moon swayed. The distant mountains are full of flowers and flowers, and the pictures are wide open. The gurgling water splashed on the beautiful jade. The fields that can be plowed are connected with the fields, and the new seedlings of dense grass are enough to eat. A few families fishing in the three streams, a load of firewood picking two peaks of pepper. Kuo Kuo, city city, Jin Tang solid; Home to home, household to household, only to fight freely. The nine-layered pavilion was like a palace, and the ten-thousand-foot-tall platform was like a championship. There were also Taiji Hall, Canopy Hall, Burning Incense Hall, Guanwen Hall, Xuanzheng Hall, and Yanying Hall. The jade steps of each hall were lined with martial robes. There were also the Daming Palace, Zhaoyang Palace, Changle Palace, Huaqing Palace, Jianzhang Palace, Weiyang Palace. The bells and drums of each palace wiped away the sorrow of the boudoir. There were also those in the forbidden garden who showed their tender faces. There were also those who rode the ravine and danced in the wind. On the main road, there was also a man with a crown and belt, dressed in a dignified manner, riding five horses. In the secluded place, there was also a man holding a bow and arrow, stirring up the clouds and piercing through the two eagles. The alleys of flowers and willows, the buildings of orchestras, the spring breeze did not let Luoyang Bridge. The elders who were seeking the scriptures turned their heads to look at the Great Tang and felt their hearts break. The disciple who accompanied the master, the soul of the dream disappeared.
He could not see the scenery of Baoxiang Country. The three of them packed their luggage and horses and rested in the inn.
Tang Sanzang walked to the gate of the imperial court and said to the ambassador,""A monk from the Tang Dynasty has come to see you. Please take out your documents and send them to me.”The yellow door official quickly walked to the white jade steps and said,""Long live, there is an eminent monk in the Tang Dynasty who wishes to see you.”When the king heard that it was a big country in the Tang Dynasty and that it was a holy monk, he was very happy and immediately approved the request."Summon him in." He led Sanzang to the golden steps and danced in the mountains, shouting that the ceremony was over. The civil and military officials on both sides all sighed,""The people of the upper kingdom are so graceful in etiquette and music!”"Elder, what brings you to my kingdom?" the king asked.”"I am a Buddhist disciple of the Tang Dynasty," Sanzang replied."I have received the Emperor's edict to go to the West to obtain scriptures. The original possession of the document, to your majesty to the country, should be replaced. Therefore, he did not know how to advance and retreat, and disturbed the dragon's face.”"Since you have the Emperor of Tang's official document, bring it up and have a look," the King said.”Sanzang held it up with both hands and spread it out on the imperial table. The document said:
The Great Tang Empire of Nanjanbu Continent, in accordance with the mandate of heaven, carried the order of the emperor of Tang Dynasty: I sincerely hope that I will continue the great cause with my cool virtue, serve the gods and govern the people, face the deep and shallow, and be afraid day and night. Before this, I failed to save the old dragon of Jinghe River and was condemned by our emperor, queen and emperor. My three souls and seven spirits suddenly disappeared in the underworld and became an impermanent guest. Because there is still a long life, I am grateful to the Lord of the Underworld for sending me back to life, so I widely spread good deeds and built a Taoist temple to save the dead. The golden body of Guanyin Bodhisattva appeared, indicating that there were Buddhas and sutras in the west who could save the dead and transcend the lonely soul. He specially wrote a book about Master Xuanzang, who traveled thousands of mountains to ask for scriptures and verses. If you go to the western countries, do not destroy the good relationship, according to the document release. It's time to get a document. In the thirteenth year of Zhenguan of Tang Dynasty, on an auspicious day in autumn, the emperor sent a letter to the emperor.”(There are nine precious seals on it)
When the king saw this, he took out the jade treasure of his country and handed it to Sanzang with a stamp. Sanzang thanked him, took the document, and reported,"Firstly, this poor monk has exchanged documents. Secondly, this poor monk has sent a letter to His Majesty.”"What books?" The king was overjoyed. "Your Majesty's third princess was taken away by the yellow-robed demon in the Moon Wave Cave on the Bowl Mountain," Sanzang replied."I happened to meet her, so I sent you a letter.”When the King heard this, his eyes were filled with tears." Since thirteen years ago, when the Princess disappeared, the two classes of civil and military officials have been demoted countless times. Who knew how many maids and eunuchs were killed inside and outside the palace? He only said that he had left the palace, lost his way, and had nowhere to find him. The people in the city also questioned him countless times, but there was no news of him. How did he know that it was a demon who had captured it! Today when she heard this sentence, she felt sad and cried.”Sanzang took out a book from his sleeve and presented it. The king received it, but when he saw the word 'peace,' his hands went soft and he could not open the book. He issued an edict to summon the Grand Scholar of the Imperial Academy to the palace to study. The scholar immediately went to the palace. There were many civil and military officials in front of the palace, and empresses and maids behind the palace. They all listened attentively. The scholar opened the recital and wrote:
The unfilial daughter Baihua was ashamed to kowtow in front of the Dragon and Phoenix Hall, and the third palace mother Zhaoyang Palace, and the civil and military sages of the court. My daughter is lucky enough to be entrusted to the Kun Palace. I am grateful to you for your hard work. I can't do my best to make you happy and filial to you. So thirteen years ago, on the 15th day of the eighth month, on a good night, by the grace of his father, the king, he ordered all the palaces to hold a banquet to enjoy the moonlight and enjoy the grand meeting of Yue Xiao. Just as she was enjoying herself, a fragrant wind suddenly blew and a golden-eyed, blue-faced, green-haired demon king appeared and captured the woman. He drove the car straight to a deserted place in the middle of the wild mountain. It was difficult to distinguish between them. He was forced by the demon to take him as his wife. Therefore, she had no choice but to endure for 13 years and gave birth to two demon sons, both of whom were demonic seeds. This is really a violation of human relations, indecent, should not be sent to the letter to humiliate. I'm just afraid that after you die, it won't be obvious. Just as he was thinking of his parents with resentment, he did not expect the holy monk of the Tang Dynasty to be captured by the demon king. This woman wrote a letter with tears in her eyes. She was bold enough to let go. I specially asked you to send me this piece of paper mulberry to express my heartfelt feelings. I hope my father will pity me and send me to the Moon Cave of Wanzi Mountain to capture the yellow-robed monster as soon as possible. I will save your daughter and return to the court. I am deeply grateful to you. He was rude and disrespectful, and his face and ears were different.
The unfilial daughter Baihua kowtowed again in shame.
When the scholar had finished reading his letter, the king wept, the three princes wept, and the civil and military officials were sad. After crying for a long time, the King asked the two civil and military officials,""Who dared to lead the army to capture the demon and save my Princess Baihua?”He asked several questions, but no one dared to answer. He was really a military general carved out of wood and a civil official carved out of clay. The king was vexed, and tears welled up in his eyes. All the officials bowed down and reported,"Your Majesty, don't worry. The Princess has been lost. There has been no news for thirteen years." I met a saint monk of the Tang Dynasty by chance and sent a letter here. I don't know if it's true. Besides, we are all ordinary people and ordinary horses. We are familiar with military books and military strategies. We can only set up an array and camp, so as to ensure that the country will not be invaded and bullied. That evil spirit is a cloud to fog away people, can not meet him face to face, how to rescue him? I think the person who took the scriptures from the east was a holy monk from Shangbang. This monk's Dao is high and lofty, and he is highly respected by ghosts and gods. He must have the art of subduing demons. Since ancient times, those who spoke of right and wrong were people who spoke of right and wrong. I can ask this elder to subdue the demon and save the princess. This is a foolproof plan.”
Hearing this, the king hurriedly turned around and asked Sanzang,"Elder, if you have the means to release your mana, capture the demon, and save my child, you don't have to go to the west to worship Buddha. You can keep your hair long and become my brother. How about we sit on the dragon bed and share wealth?”"This poor monk knows how to chant Buddha," Sanzang hurriedly said."But I don't know how to subdue demons.”"Since you don't know how to subdue demons, how dare you go to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha?"”The elder couldn't hide it from him and told him that he had two disciples. "Your Majesty," he reported,"I cannot come here alone. This Penniless Monk has two disciples who are good at opening roads on every mountain and crossing rivers to protect this Penniless Monk.”"You monk," the king said strangely,"are so unreasonable. Since you have a disciple, why don't you come in with him to see me?" If you go to the court, even if you don't like the reward, you must have a vegetarian meal.”"That disciple of mine is ugly," said Sanzang."He doesn't dare to enter the court without permission, but he's afraid that he'll frighten and injure Your Majesty's dragon body.”The King laughed." Look at how you talk, monk. Do you think I'm afraid of him?"”"I dare not say," Sanzang replied. My eldest disciple's surname is Zhu, and his Dharma name is Wuneng Bajie. He was born with a long mouth and fangs, a strong mane and fanned ears, a thick body and a big belly, and a strong wind when he walked. The second disciple was surnamed Sha, and his Buddhist name was Monk Wujing. He was twelve feet tall, with three wide arms. His face was blue, his mouth was like a basin of blood, his eyes were shining, and his teeth were set in rows. He was always like this, so he didn't dare to enter the court without permission.”"Since you've said it like that, why should I be afraid of him?" the King asked. Call him in." Then he took the gold medal to the post station and asked for it.
When the fool heard the invitation, he said to Monk Sand,""Brother, why don't you teach me? Only then did you see the benefits of learning. Thinking that his master had written a letter, the King said," The messenger must not be neglected. He must be treated with a banquet. He was not good at eating, but he had the heart of you and me, so he brought the gold medal to invite him. Everyone, let's have a good meal." "Brother," said Friar Sand,"if you know the reason, let's go back."”So he handed over his luggage and horses to the post officer, each with a weapon on his body, and entered the court with the gold medal. He walked up to the white jade steps, stood on both sides, and sang a greeting to the top. The civil and military officials were not afraid and said,"These two monks are ugly, but they are too vulgar! Why don't you bow down to our king? Stand up straight and stand upright. How strange!”"Don't talk about it, gentlemen," said Ba Jie."That's what we're doing. At first glance, it was a little ugly, but after looking at it for a while, it was still good looking.”
When the king saw how ugly he was, he was shocked. When he heard what the fool said, he was even more frightened. He could not sit still and fell off the dragon bed. Fortunately, there was a servant officer to help him up. Tang Sanzang knelt in front of the hall and kowtowed,""Your Majesty, this poor monk deserves to die ten thousand times! I said my disciple was ugly and dared not appear before the emperor for fear of hurting the dragon's body. As expected, he was frightened.”The king trembled as he walked forward and helped him up."Elder, you said it first. If he didn't say it and suddenly saw him, I would have killed him!”The King was determined for a long time before he asked,"Elder Zhu, Elder Sha, which one is good at subduing demons?"”The fool did not know what was good for him and replied,"The old pig will surrender."”"How?" the king asked. "I am Marshal Tianpeng," said Pig."I have fallen into the world because of the criminal laws of Heaven. I am fortunate to have converted to the right path and become a monk. Ever since I came to the Eastern Land, I'm the first one who knows how to subdue demons.”"Since the heavens are about to descend upon the mortal world," the king said,"they will certainly be able to change.”"I wouldn't dare," said Pig,"I wouldn't dare. I'll only know a few changes.”The King said,"Try one and let me see."”"Please tell me the question," said Pig."It's easy to change according to the way it looks.”"Make it big," the king said.”Ba Jie also had 36 transformations. He was showing off his skills in front of the steps, but he was chanting incantations and shouting,""Long!" With a bow, he grew to eighty to ninety feet long, but he seemed like a path-opening god. It scared the two groups of civil and military officials so much that they trembled in fear. The monarch and his subjects of a country struggled in a daze. "Elder," a general asked,"how long must it have grown to reach its limit?"”The idiot said in a daze,"Look at the wind. The east wind is fine, and the west wind is fine." If the south wind blew, it would make a big hole in the sky!”The king was shocked and said,"You should have stopped using your magical powers. You know what's going on."”Bajie crouched down and returned to his original appearance as he stood in front of the steps. The King asked again,"What weapons will the Elder use to fight him?"”"I'm using a spiked rake," said Pig, pulling out a rake from his waist.”"It's a disgrace!" the King laughed. I have plenty of whips, hammers, sabers, spears, axes, swords, halberds, spears, and scythes here. You can take whatever you want. What kind of weapon is that?" "Your Majesty doesn't know," said Pig,"but although this rake of mine is crude, it has been with me since I was a child. He once served as commander in chief in Tianhe Water Mansion, commanding 80,000 sailors, all relying on the power of this rake. Now in the mortal world, protecting our teacher, building a tiger wolf's nest in a mountain, and overturning a dragon's nest in a river are all made of this kind of rake.”
The king was overjoyed when he heard this. "Bring me a whole bottle of my personal wine and send it off with the elder," he ordered the nine concubines.”So he poured a full cup and handed it to Bajie."Elder, this cup of wine is a token of my gratitude. When I catch the demon and save my daughter, I will give you a big banquet and thank you with thousands of gold.”The fool took the cup in his hand. Although he was rude, he acted in a refined manner. He sang a big bow to Sanzang and said,"Master, this wine should have been drunk by you, but the king gave it to me, so I dare not disobey. Let the old pig eat it first to liven things up and catch demons.”The fool drank it all up, poured a cup of wine, and handed it to the master. "I won't drink," said Sanzang."You brothers eat."”Friar Sand went forward to take it. A cloud appeared under Pig's feet and he flew up into the sky. The King saw it and said,""Elder Zhu knows how to ride the clouds again!" After the Fool left, Monk Sand finished the wine and said,""Master! When that yellow-robed monster caught you, the two of us fought him and only fought evenly. Now that my second brother has left alone, I'm afraid he won't be able to defeat me.”"That's right," said Sanzang."Disciple, you can go and help him."”When Monk Sand heard this, he also jumped up on the cloud. The king panicked and grabbed Tang Sanzang.""Elder, accompany me for a while. Don't go to Tengyun.”"Poor thing," said Tang Sanzang. I can't even take half a step!" At this moment, the two of them were chatting in the hall.
"I'm here, brother," said Friar Sand, catching up with Pig.”"Why are you here, brother?" asked Pig.”"Master asked me to come and help," said Friar Sand.”"You're right," said Pig, delighted. The two of us worked hard together to catch that monster. Although it wasn't much, we still made a name for ourselves in this country.”Look at him-- I've received the king's edict to come to the cave and work hard to catch the strange spirit.
The two of them soon reached the cave entrance and pressed down on the clouds. Ba Jie picked up his rake and struck the door of the Wavy Moon Cave with all his might, creating a hole the size of a bucket. The little demon at the door was so frightened that he opened the door. When he saw the two of them, he rushed in to report,"Great King, bad news! The monk with the long mouth and big ears and the monk with the unlucky face came to break the door again!”"This is Zhu Bajie and Monk Sand," the monster said in surprise. I spared his master, how dare he come knocking on my door again!”"I think I forgot something and came to get it," said the little demon.”"Nonsense!" The old monster snorted. Forgetting the item and daring to come knocking? There must be a reason!" He hurriedly tied up his clothes and took out his steel knife. He walked out and asked,"Then monk, since I spared your master, how dare you come to my door?”"You've done a good job, you devil," said Ba Jie.”"What is it?" asked the old demon. "You lured the Third Princess of Baoxiang Kingdom into the cave and forced her to become your wife. She's been living here for thirteen years. It's time to return the favor," said Ba Jie. I am here to capture you by the king's decree. Hurry up and go in. Tie the rope yourself so that Old Pig won't make a move!”When the old monster heard this, he was furious. Look at him gritting his teeth; He rolled his eyes and raised his saber. He was naked and cut off his head. Bajie dodged to the side, and the nail struck him in the face. Soon after, Monk Sand raised his treasured staff and caught up with him. This battle on the mountain was different from before. It was really…
Inappropriate words make people angry, poison feelings hurt anger. The Demon King's steel saber slashed at the head. The nine-toothed rake of Bajie came to meet him. Sha Wujing threw away his treasured staff, and the demon king held up his divine weapon. One fierce monster, two divine monks, come and go very quiet. This one said,"You should be sentenced to death for deceiving the country!”The other said,"You meddle in other people's business to avenge injustice!"”This one said,"You forced a princess to marry and hurt the country!"”The other said,"Don't fight for nothing!"”I think it's just to bring a letter, which makes the monks and demons restless.
They fought eight or nine rounds in front of the hill, and gradually, Ba Jie was unable to move forward, unable to lift his rake, and unable to exert any strength. Do you think you can't defeat him? At that time, when the two sides had just started fighting, there was a guardian god in the cave who secretly helped Bajie and Monk Sand because Tang Sanzang was in the cave, so he could only fight evenly. At this time, the gods were protecting Tang Sanzang in Baoxiang Kingdom, so the two were difficult to defeat. "Come up and fight him, Friar Sand," said the idiot."Let the old pig come out.”He couldn't care less about Monk Sand and slipped into the wormwood, vines, and thorns. He didn't care what was good for him. He went in, scratched his scalp, and hurt his face. He fell asleep and didn't dare to come out again. However, he left half of his ears open to listen to the banging sound. When the monster saw that Pig had left, he ran to Monk Sand. Friar Sand was caught off guard and was caught by the monster and dragged into the cave. The little demon tied up Friar Sand on all four horses. After all, I don't know how Duan's life is. Let's listen to the next chapter.
