Red Cloud: Establishing Mahayana Buddhism as a Holy Spirit

Chapter 411 My mouth is almost fading out like a bird
"Oh, what a wonderful Che Chiguo. I didn't expect to cause so many troubles. The old pig begged for half a month in front of the saint's statue before he was released."

"You idiot, it's fine." Sun Wukong on the side also said angrily, it's been more than two months, but Zhu Bajie still keeps talking about this.

How could Zhu Bajie not be wronged after hearing this, and he muttered directly: "My good monkey brother, let's learn from the scriptures honestly in the future, you have also seen how chaotic the world is, even a monk is still fighting non-stop. "

As if pointing something, it seems to be saying that Mahayana Buddhism and Western Buddhism are also fighting each other.

"Brother Monkey, the three demons of the Chechi Kingdom are really lucky. They were able to go to heaven and be enshrined. From now on, let's not talk about supernatural powers, but as long as there are no accidents, it is not a problem to live the same life as heaven and earth."

After chattering for a while, Zhu Bajie couldn't help showing envy. Daoist Qingyun remembered the cause and effect of the time when he was a god, otherwise how could three ordinary monsters enter the heaven.

"Idiot, why don't you talk to Lao Sun about Mahayana Buddhism?"

At this time, it had been half a month since Che Chi State came out. After that day, Fa Hai and others all left. Only Tang Sanzang stayed in Che Chi State helplessly until the three disciples walked out of the Saint Hall. This is my farewell.

After this incident, the old king of Chechi Kingdom did not dare to criticize Buddhism too much. After all, those who manifested their holiness were all Buddhist Bodhisattvas. Although he did not blame them, the old king decided to let these monks go after thinking about it.

In this way, the disaster of Che Chiguo's monk ended here, but there was no great preferential treatment, and the three national teachers of Che Chiguo were conferred by the heavenly court, which was also a sensation.

Tang Sanzang, who was riding on the white dragon horse, couldn't help but shook his head and said: "Wukong, the way of the world is unified, and there has never been a so-called distinction between high and low. Only those who practice can compete."

However, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and others still couldn't understand these words at this time. On the contrary, Sun Wukong was only shocked by Mahayana Buddhism, and he was even curious about why it was all Buddhism. Alright.

The four masters and apprentices stopped and went, heading towards the west. They didn't feel that spring was over and summer was dying, and when the autumn leaves fell, there were gusts of cooling autumn wind blowing.

On this day, there was the sound of surging waves in the distance, and Tang Sanzang knew that there might be a big river ahead.

But when he walked to the river, Tang Sanzang squinted his eyes at the big river, and couldn't help saying: "This river is quite magnificent, as if connecting heaven and earth, what's the name?"

"Master, there is a stone tablet here with characters, Huo! It's actually called Tongtianhe."

With a bluff, Zhu Bajie directly picked up the magic soldier's nine-toothed rake and hugged the weeds, revealing the huge stone tablet.

I saw that there are three large characters in seal script on this stone tablet saying 'Tong Tianhe', and two lines below it, there are ten small characters saying, "Across eight hundred miles, few people have traveled in ancient times."

Tang Sanzang narrowed his eyes when he saw the Tongtian River. This time, he didn't know how Western Buddhism would arrange it.

However, at this moment, the sky suddenly began to snow heavily, which was too sudden in this autumnal equinox season.

"Master! There's something wrong with this snow!"

Sun Wukong even stared at the river with fiery eyes, and saw that under Zhu Bajie's exclamation, the surface of the Tongtian River began to condense into ice visible to the naked eye.

"Master! It's not right. Someone froze the river."

In just a short moment, the goose-feathered snow covered the earth with a layer of silver frost, and a chill suddenly rose. Fortunately, Tang Sanzang was not like the pedantic monk who had been wearing brocade cassocks all the way. what.

Under the swishing cold wind, there was no feeling of cold at all, and Tang Sanzang's current mortal body just felt a sense of coolness and did not feel how cold it was.

At this moment, Zhu Bajie showed curiosity, "Master, listen, it seems to be the sound of drums and cymbals? Could it be someone who is doing vegetarian food. How about we go to catch some vegetarian food and find out the situation at the same time, how about crossing the river tomorrow?" ?”

Tang Sanzang frowned, he also heard the voice and couldn't help but shook his head and said: "But it's not a Taoist instrument, it's a monk's incident."

"Wukong, watch closely, let's find someone's house to stay overnight."

"Okay, Master." Sun Wukong pulled out the Ruyi Golden Cudgel from his ear and walked cautiously ahead, Sha Wujing carried the burden and walked at the end, while Zhu Bajie walked alongside the white horse with a nine-toothed rake, looking left and right.

Walking across the beach, I saw a cluster of residences, about four to five hundred, but they all lived well, but I saw a path leaning against the mountain and facing the river by the bank.

I saw a family at the end of the road with banners erected outside the door, bright lights and candles inside, and fragrant cigarettes.

At this time, the sky had started to turn dark under the setting sun, and just as Monkey King was about to inquire about finding a family to stay overnight, he suddenly saw something and his eyes flickered.

Zhu Bajie's eyes widened immediately after seeing the figure, and he blurted out, "Black Bird! Why are you here!"

I saw the golden-winged roc eagle with a black eagle head suddenly showed anger, and snorted coldly: "Pig head, if it wasn't for that bald donkey Fahai who asked me to come out to meet Tang Sanzang, I wouldn't care about it." is you."

The golden-winged roc came out of the dragon and tiger, and came directly in front of Tang Sanzang, with a bit of aggrieved face, but he had to bow his head under the eaves. The golden hoop on his head was his weakness.

The golden-winged roc clasped its hands together and said coldly: "Namo Amitabha, go to his mother! I'm giving back his mother's rice tofu, Tang Sanzang! Fahai Bald Donkey is waiting for you in the house, do you want to go?" go."

Good guy, this golden-winged roc suddenly erupted, and it also looked like it was gnashing its teeth. After seeing this, Zhu Bajie suddenly chuckled and said with a big grin: "Haha, you black bird is not a monk. Don’t force it, tell me if you want tofu, Lao Zhu reluctantly lends you some money to buy some tofu, so as not to starve you black bird.”

Zhu Bajie laughed and teased, and even made a gesture to take out a few taels of silver from his bosom, as if saying that the old pig has plenty of money, so just say how much tofu you want to eat.

Seeing this, the golden-winged roc glared at Zhu Bajie viciously, then turned its head and waved its hands with a rebellious look, as if saying please come in to Tang Sanzang.

Seeing the rebellious golden-winged roc, Tang Sanzang walked towards the yard with squinted eyes and a smile, but he was secretly planning in his heart.

This golden-winged roc is rebellious and has a wild mind. It is indeed a bit unsuitable for Buddhism, but it is a good seedling of the demonic way. No matter its talent or footsteps, it is a first-class existence today. It is this temperament that needs to be polished. Otherwise, it would be a bit disobedient.

When he entered the living room of the house, he saw that there were old people, children and women in this family, and Fahai was comforting something with a look of enmity.

"Brother."

Fa Hai saluted respectfully, while Tang Sanzang nodded with a smile on his face, "Who are you?"

It seemed that he was looking at the mortals of such a big family with doubts on his face, and although the mortals of this big family looked at the appearance of Monkey King and Zhu Bajie, although they were a little scared, they were not too scared, after all, there was already a mortal in this hall. A monkey and a blackbird monster are gone, so it's nothing to have a monkey spirit and a pig spirit.

"Holy monk, hurry up and take your seat first, just as the fasting meal in the mansion is ready."

At this moment, the old man who was the owner of the mansion hurriedly got up to greet Tang Sanzang, calling him a holy monk. In the eyes of their mortals, all the apprentices they accepted were monsters and ghosts, and they were nothing but holy monks.

It can be seen that there is a table lined up, the owner invited Fa Hai and Tang Sanzang to sit up, and three tables were placed on the two sides, one table was Yang Jian and Sun Wukong, and the other two tables belonged to the owner of the house. family.

Vegetable fruits and vegetables on the table, followed by noodles, rice, snacks, and noodle soup, are neatly arranged.It seems that the people here are already prepared.

After everyone was seated, the old man couldn't help crying from the corners of his eyes, and wept with joy: "There are two holy monks coming, and the little old man also watched his little grandson and granddaughter be eaten by blood."

At this time, Zhu Bajie was stunned when he heard this, looked at the table full of food, and listened to the old man's babbling, he grinned and said, "What do you mean by this old man? We are all monks, although we don't avoid alcohol and meat, But it won’t eat a living person either.”

But at this time Fa Hai frowned after listening to it, with a trace of anger obviously showing in his brows, he couldn't help explaining to his senior brother Tang Sanzang.

"Senior brother, the fast food that people have prepared here is the dead fast."

After hearing this, Zhu Bajie couldn't help but widen his eyes in amazement, and asked curiously: "Don't monks know about fasting? There is only a pre-scheduled library fast, and a pre-studied filling and returning fast. Where is there a pre-studied death fast?" No one in your family has ever died, so why do you fast for death?"

After hearing Zhu Bajie's words, the other two people in the house obviously showed sadness, and the old man said even more sadly: "There are hundreds of families living here. This place is under the jurisdiction of Chechi Guoyuanhui County, called Chenjiazhuang."

"It is right next to the Tongtian River, and the weather is considered to be good. However, a few years ago, a river god came to the Tongtian River. The king once a year offered a sacrifice. Him. If he eats it, he will keep us in good weather, and if he does not sacrifice, he will come and bring disaster."

When talking about sad things, the old man even shed two lines of tears, "Poor! Poor! This is my brother-in-law, named Chen Qing, and the old man is called Chen Cheng. I am 63 years old this year, he is 58 years old this year, and his sons and daughters go to school. It’s all difficult. I didn’t have a son at the age of 50. My relatives and friends persuaded me to take a concubine, but I had no choice but to find a house and gave birth to a daughter.

"My younger brother has a son, who is also a child of a concubine (in the old days, he was called a concubine's child). He is seven years old this year, and his name is Chen Guanbao."

Speaking of this, Chen Qing on the other table also indicated with a sad face that the child with red lips and white teeth in his arms was his son 'Chen Guanbao'.

Seeing his elder brother's sorrow at this time, Chen Qing also beat his chest and said painfully: "My two brothers are one hundred and two years old, and they only got these two roots. The feeling of love is hard to let go, so let's first make a supernatural dojo with the child, so it is said that those who practice the death fast in advance, this is also the case."

At this time, everyone came to their senses, no wonder this family prepared such a complete set of vegetarian dishes, and even some dishes were specially prepared for them, and it turned out that they were not waiting for them, but just in time.

But Sun Wukong was full of smiles when he heard this, because he was a born stone monkey and couldn't understand the relationship between father and son, so he joked directly: "I think your family is extraordinary, how can you be willing to sacrifice your own son and daughter? Fight for 50 taels of silver." , you can buy a virgin boy, and if you spend 100 taels of silver, you can buy a virgin girl, but it’s only 200 taels, and you can leave your own children, isn’t it good?”

Although these words are a bit heartless, they have to be said to be in line with human nature. After hearing this, Old Man Chen shook his head and wept, "Master Sun! You don't know, the king is an inspiration, and he often comes to our house to walk."

"Furthermore, the King of Inspiration can hear even a needle dropped from a thousand miles away. In our family, he knows everything from spoons to bowls to small things. He remembers the time when the old and the young were born. As long as he has his own children, he will benefit from it. Don't say anything. There is no place to buy 300 taels, even if it is tens of millions of taels, there is no place to buy children who are exactly the same in the same year and the same month.”

And Chen Qing even made a self-deprecating smile, "Who is willing to give up their own children, let alone my elder brother and I own this property, with paddy fields covering [-] to [-] hectares, dry fields covering [-] to [-] hectares, and pastures covering [-] to [-] hectares?" There are two or three hundred water cattle, thirty or twenty donkeys and horses, countless pigs, sheep, chickens and geese. There is also old food and clothes that cannot be eaten under the house. The family property is also exhausted.”

"Don't say that being rich is unkind. If it is possible under such circumstances, the two brothers like me would rather be stabbed in the back and spend a lot of money to buy a man and a woman in exchange for the safety of our children."

I have to say, what I said is true, Sun Wukong also nodded secretly after hearing it, this mortal family is real, I am willing to do good to the best of my ability, but if I want to face the life of my own children, I would rather be a villain than protect my family. , whether it is a mortal or a monster is the same.

And Fa Hai on the side couldn't help but snorted coldly after hearing this, "Nie Yi! Crueling living beings is also worthy of being called the God of the River."

It has to be said that Hai's character is still so stubborn, and Tang Sanzang on the side shook his head and said: "Amitabha, the king of inspiration here is probably this evil spirit incarnation."

And the golden-winged roc bird on the dinner table looked at the table full of vegetarian food, and his mouth almost faded away. He was quite upset when he heard the crying sound suddenly.

He threw his chopsticks angrily, got up with a whoosh, and the air was silent for a moment, but after seeing Fa Hai's frown, the golden-winged roc couldn't help touching the tight band on his head, and snorted coldly. Stand up with a sound.

"This little doll is going to feed the virgin boy who is the king of labor and capital inspiration, right?"

I saw the golden-winged roc pointing at the child in Chen Qing's arms coldly, but the child was not afraid, but showed an innocent smile, and was still grabbing food with his two little hands.

After seeing this scene, the golden-winged roc snorted proudly, "The mouth of this seat is almost fading out of the bird recently, and since the king is in the water, there must be a good chance of it. The things in the water have the Tao, just let me try something new."
