Journey to the West: The Evil Monk of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 15
People in the world can only be tall when they build platforms, and only when noble people teach can they be true.

Chen Xuangao sat in front of the hall, and the monkey stood behind him. Looking at the people who bowed and bowed in front of him, he suddenly felt so proud. How could he think that Xiaosi in the previous life had the appearance of this life.

"Listen to me, my master and my disciples got rid of demons in the Black Wind Cave yesterday. Because of the help of the mountain god and land, I called Erequan's main hall today, hoping to build another side hall next to the main hall to enshrine the incense of the land and mountain god. However I also feel that mortals are forgetful. I am afraid that I will forget my kindness to eliminate demons. Then I ordered a stone tablet to be polished. I wrote a letter to my master and apprentice to eliminate demons. I also repaired a side hall to enshrine. This matter made the world dare not forget why today’s happiness is. Second, to deter demons and evil spirits, so that they would not dare to plunder and eat people in holy monk temples." Chen Xuan said in his mouth one by one the manuscripts, to build a temple for the God of Earth and Mountain, one is to inherit the love of Guanyin, and the other is to offer incense to the God of Earth and Mountain, Asking them to take care of this family business, as for setting up monuments and singing about their achievements, it is purely shameless, but he doesn't think it's inappropriate, just because they have done good deeds, why don't they dare to let the world know, is it because they are afraid of being bullied by others?

"Yes, I will understand." The monks looked at each other for a while, then bowed down and sang promises.

"Well, don't worry about the yellow and white things, I have my own source to give, and I will do this well in the public, and then there will be rewards for each of them." Chen Xuan saw that the monks seemed to be worried about hindering their enthusiasm, so he made another promise Commit to put those worries to rest.

"Thank you, Fang Zhang, for your generosity." After hearing this, everyone was overjoyed, wishing they could not start work sooner.

Seeing that everyone was like this, Chen Xuan knew that the matter was in order, so he greeted a few stewards, and asked the monkeys to recruit the mountain god Land, and arranged things inside and out, so that the stewards would face things clearly, and the land gods would be supervisors, The old bald-headed jade book was taken out, so that the monks also began to cultivate their spirits, so as not to disturb the peace of the world.

After everything was arranged, Chen Xuan took the monkey to have breakfast. The monkey was very happy along the way, and he was restless when he walked. He would climb up the pillars, sit on the seats, and jump on the steps. Come on, hurry up.

I just got rid of the dust and customs of the net, turned around and went to the netherworld again.

Chen Xuan took the monkey to eat breakfast, and thought that there was still something wrong with the ghost, so the master and apprentice went back to the room, planning to start the ghost.

"Monkey, you said that as a teacher, you can't go to the nether world with your body." Chen Xuan looked at the monkey with some doubts and said.

"It's not that we can't go, it's just that it's better to stay in the physical body. Master's mortal body has not yet ascended to immortality, so I'm afraid he will be infected by the filth and filth there. Coincidentally, this master is very determined to cultivate supernatural powers. Although he didn't understand why Batu Cave gave up, he knew that this matter would not end like this, so after thinking about it, he made some plans for it.

"Well, let's go to the netherworld, but can this tin stick be carried? I've gotten used to holding it these days, and I'm afraid it's not suitable if it's gone." Chen Xuan picked up the nine-ring tin stick that was leaning on the bedside, and put it on the Touching its touch with his hand, his eyes are full of reluctance.

"Hehe, Master was just joking. This tin rod, like that cassock, is a treasure of the Tathagata. If the seal on it is broken, it will be no different than the old grandson's golden cudgel. Why can't we go to the Netherworld?" The monkey smiled. , casually said a few more secret words to comfort Chen Xuan's peace of mind.

"Hey, that's good." Chen Xuan's eyes lit up, his own thoughts, and only he knew, the previous reluctance was pure nonsense, he just wanted to verify some facts, why the tin rod and cassock were ordinary, why "Journey to the West" In "Records", the Buddha dared to let go of the words "wear my cassock, you will not enter reincarnation; hold my tin staff, you will not be poisoned", now it seems that there are some eyebrows.

"Since Master is all right, Lao Sun will open the gate to the nether world and invite Master to visit the scene of hell together." The monkey saw that Chen Xuan was worried, so he drew out his golden cudgel and swiped at the void, only to see the space Like a torn cloth bag, a mirage appears faintly inside.

What is this scene?I can only see that the space is distorted, I can't distinguish between up and down, left and right, it's dim and dark like clear and turbid, but I always feel that the world is vast when I don't smell a little life, but I always feel noisy.

Chen Xuan swayed unconsciously in a trance, and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the monkey was quick, stepped forward to support him and said with a smile: "Master, mortal eyes only look at mortal things, don't try to be brave scene, which hurt the gods.”

"I don't see that scene, but how can I enjoy it?" Chen Xuan asked doubtfully.

"The door hasn't been opened yet, how can there be any scene, the old grandson will open the door, and I will take you out of your body." The monkey smiled, then grabbed Chen Xuan's body, pulled out his soul, and ran towards the mirage and go.

Chen Xuanhun was pulled out, his body lost control, and he fell headlong. At this moment, a little ripple appeared in the void, and the gods in the dark appeared one by one. After casting his body to lie on the bed, they looked at each other one by one. , turned around and followed into that space.

When Chen Xuan's soul came out of his body, the scene in front of him was no longer the same, and his figure no longer had a sense of gravity. When he was floating around, he was amazed again and again. The most important thing was that the appearance of his soul was exactly the same as that of his body. To tell a little bit of truth, this is thanks to the fact that he swore to the sky when he was in sorrow, otherwise he would definitely show his feet at this time.

"Master, don't float around, or you will be in trouble if you go to the border world." Seeing Chen Xuan flying around, the monkey immediately pinched a formula and bound him to his side.

"Monkey, the soul is always active like this. I'm just practicing as a teacher, so as not to go to the Netherworld and get used to it, which will delay the trip." Chen Xuan was a little embarrassed, and secretly scolded himself for being playful and making people see jokes Fortunately, the soul body didn't blush, otherwise it must be Xiafei's cheeks.

"Master doesn't know, just look at the gate, as long as you enter it, you will regenerate your flesh and bones in an instant, and your actions will be the same as in the mortal world." The monkey smiled and pointed to the ghost gate in the space.

"Gulu." Chen Xuan followed the pointer, his eyes were full of shock, and he saw a ghost gate standing alone in the void. People standing under it looked at it, like an ant looking up at a high mountain, and felt that he was as small as dust. There is that kind of strength to shake the door, and the black air on it covers the eyes, and the wailing of the living soul can be vaguely seen in it, and the kid is beating with knives, forks and sticks for fun. Step forward and be serious.

"Hmph." Seeing Chen Xuan's slamming, the monkey pulled him back, then swaggered to the door, raised his foot and kicked it, and the door was like a window in a strong wind, slapping inside and outside with a howling sound.

"What's wrong with me?" Chen Xuan was awakened by the cold snort of the monkey, recalling that he was going to be serious in front of the door before, only feeling afraid of shock after a while.

"Master, I don't know. This ghost gate has some ways. If there are no ghosts here to open the gate by reciting mantras, even immortals will be detained here, and suffer in the gate." The monkey looked at the miserable state of the gate, and his face Show complacency.

"It's okay, okay, let's go in then." Chen Xuanjian exhaled, and said to the monkey when he saw the darkness inside after the door opened.

"Master, don't be afraid, there is an old grandson in everything." Seeing that Chen Xuan was in shock, the monkey said a word of reassurance, and dragged him to the world inside the door.

After the two masters and apprentices entered the door, several figures appeared in the space, and they were a group of Dharma protectors. They looked at each other, sighed, and wanted to follow, but at this time, a man wearing a black background and gold A black-faced burly man in a python dragon robe, with a black jade gold ribbon around his waist, and with black-patterned cloud shoes on his feet appeared, and blocked everyone from going.

When the gods saw the big man, they first saluted, and then said: "Yan Jun, please take care of me, the little gods and others have important responsibilities, and they have to disturb the precious land of your world."

"Please go back, this world was opened up by my ancestral witch queen Tu Niangniang, how could Heavenly Court and Lingshan dare to intervene in this matter." The big man waved his hand, his tone was not polite, obviously he didn't like to see both parties.

"Learning scriptures is a sage..." A Dharma protector stepped forward, and when he was about to speak fiercely, another Dharma protector hurriedly stopped him, and after a few words of advice, he turned to the big man and said, "I was the one who was being rude, I'll leave here."

After the gods finished speaking, they flew to the South China Sea to ask for countermeasures, but the big man watched everyone leave and murmured: "Your Majesty, you have tried everything possible to invite Buddhist scriptures to come here. Is it true that the splendor of my Wu clan really deserves it?" On this person?"

Seeing that the gods disappeared, the big man turned his head to look at the ghost gate, saw that the gate was already damaged, smiled wryly, and shot out a stream of black energy to nourish, and then went straight back to Netherworld.

After everyone left, the ghost gate closed automatically. There were little ghosts faintly in the door painting, kowtowing to the back of Hades, and they all looked terrified.
