Chapter 153

Sun Wukong chatted with Tang Sanzang for a while, and then they set off again.

Monkey King is in front of the horse, with luggage on his back, and walks naked.Not long after, after crossing the boundary of the Five Elements Mountain, a fierce tiger came roaring and cutting its tail. Tang Sanzang looked at Monkey King in horror.

Sun Wukong said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, don't move, let the disciples exercise their muscles and bones."

After finishing speaking, Monkey King put down his luggage, took out a golden cudgel from his ear, and faced the wind, he swayed it, and it was as thick as a bowl.He held it in his hand and said with a smile: "This baby, I haven't used it for more than five hundred years, I took it out today to earn a piece of clothing to wear." After speaking, facing the tiger, he said: "Industry, where to go!" See, the tiger squatted down, lying in the dust, not daring to move.After being hit on the head by Monkey King, his brains burst and he died.

At this time, Monkey King said: "Master, sit down for a while, and wait for me to peel off its skin and make a piece of clothing to wear." After speaking, Monkey King plucked out one of the hairs, breathed out the fairy spirit, and turned it into a sharp knife with ears , Picked the skin from the tiger's belly, peeled it down, peeled off the whole skin, chopped off the claw nails, cut off the head, cut a square piece of tiger skin, lifted it up, and measured it. "It's wider, one can be made into two." He took the knife and cut it into two.Put away one, wrapped one around his waist, grabbed a kudzu vine by the side of the road, tied it tightly, covered his lower body and said: "Master, how is it?"

Tang Sanzang said: "Fortunately, I will see him later, and I will mend it with you."

Suddenly, Tang Sanzang said again: "Wukong, where is the iron rod you used to hit the tiger just now?"

Hearing this, Monkey King smiled and said, "Master, look, it's here!" Then he took out a golden cudgel the size of an embroidery needle from his ear, and held it in his hand for Tang Sanzang to watch.

Tang Sanzang saw that Sun Wukong was holding an embroidery needle for himself to see, and out of curiosity, he reached out to take it.Seeing this, Monkey King quickly hid and said, "Master, you can't touch this."

Tang Sanzang asked puzzled, "Why?"

"Master, you can't handle it." Sun Wukong laughed.

"How can I not be able to hold a small embroidery needle?" Tang Sanzang asked.

"Master, it's not an embroidery needle. At this time, my grandson's weapon is called Ruyi Golden Cudgel, which can be changed in size at will and weighs [-] catties. It was my grandson's weapon that he got from the Dragon Palace in the East China Sea. "Sun Wukong replied.

Tang Sanzang heard the words and praised: "Wukong, you have great strength!"

Monkey King smiled when he heard the words, and said: "This is nothing. I think back then, when my old grandson made a big disturbance in the Heavenly Palace, that was a prestige."

Tang Sanzang said again at this time: "Why did that tiger just see you and not move?"

"Don't say it's a small tiger, even the dragon dare not move when it sees my old grandson. I have a lot of tricks, you don't know." Sun Wukong said.

Hearing the words, Tang Sanzang said casually: "Since you are so powerful, why are you being suppressed by the Buddha under the Five Elements Mountain?"

After hearing this, Monkey King smiled awkwardly and said, "This is what is called a strong man has a strong man, and a mountain is higher than a mountain!"

In this way, the master and the apprentice walked and talked without feeling that the sun was falling.At this time, Sun Wukong said: "Master, it's getting late. There are so many trees in the wall, it must be someone's estate."

Tang Sanzang rode his horse and ran straight to the house, and dismounted in front of the villa.Staying at this family's house, Sanzang borrowed a needle and thread that night to take off the tiger skin on Sun Wukong's body, joined it in one place, and made a fold that looked like a horse's face. Sun Wukong wrapped it around his waist, strangled the cane, and said to Sanzang: "Master. , my old grandson is dressed like this today, how is it compared to yesterday?"

Tang Sanzang looked at it and said, "Okay, okay, okay! What a majestic and majestic Monkey King."

Sun Wukong heard the words, smiled, and said: "Master, it's already getting late. You have to go on the road tomorrow, you should rest early!"

Tang Sanzang nodded, and said to Monkey King: "Go and rest too!"

So, the two master and apprentice rested separately.

It was night, nothing happened.

Early the next morning, Tang Sanzang packed his luggage, thanked his master, and was about to continue his journey when he suddenly heard a whistle from the side of the road, and six men rushed in, each holding a long spear and dagger, and said loudly: "The monk, where are you going! Hurry up and leave the horses, put down the luggage, and spare your life!"

Seeing this, Sun Wukong smiled and said: "So it's the six thieves! You don't recognize me, a monk, as your hero, but you stand in the way. Take out the treasure that was robbed, and I will be equal to you." Min, please forgive me for waiting!"

Hearing the words, the six robbers all stepped up to the front wheel and danced their swords. They rushed forward and slashed at Sun Wukong's head.Sun Wukong stood in the middle, pretending not to know.

The six robbers hacked randomly for a while, and stopped to see that Monkey King was still looking good, but the weapon in his hand was broken and could no longer be used.

The six people felt weak for a while, turned around and fled, but Sun Wukong laughed at this time: "You have beaten enough, you should also play with my grandson!" All killed one by one.He stripped off his clothes and took away his money, and walked over with a smile: "Master, please, those thieves have been killed by my grandson."

Tang Sanzang saw that the six people on the ground died of their brains bursting, it was horrible, closed his eyes, and after reciting Amitabha, he said to Monkey King: "Wukong, you just drive these robbers away. Killed. My Buddhism emphasizes compassion in the world, but you hurt people’s lives for no reason. How can you be a monk? A monk sweeps the floor to fear the lives of ants, and cherishes the moth gauze lamp. Like you, how can you do it? Lingshan asks for the scriptures!"

When Sun Wukong was a demon in Huaguo Mountain, let alone ordinary people, he killed many heavenly soldiers and generals. In addition, he was already wild, so how could he stand Tang Sanzang's words.He immediately said angrily: "It's best not to go, you think my old grandson wants to go!"

After speaking, Sun Wukong drove away on the cloud.

Tang Sanzang originally just wanted to educate this apprentice, but he didn't want him to fly away, so he shook his head helplessly and continued on his way.

Tang Sanzang walked alone for a while, and got a little tired, so he dismounted and rested aside.At this time, he saw an old woman walking in front of him.The old woman walked up to Tang Sanzang, and said to Tang Sanzang, "Why is the elder here alone in the barren mountain?"

When Tang Sanzang saw someone questioning him, he hurriedly replied: "The poor monk went to the west to pray to the Buddha for Buddhist scriptures. He originally had an apprentice, but because the poor monk said a few words to him, he left as soon as he got angry."

The old woman smiled and said, "I have a hat, let's give it to the elder's apprentice as a gift!"

"Thank you for the kindness of the benefactor, but I don't know if my apprentice will come back." Tang Sanzang said with emotion.

"Your master-student fate is not finished, he will come back." The old woman smiled at Tang Sanzang.

"Old man, this is a barren mountain, why did you come here?" Tang Sanzang suddenly thought of something and asked.

"Look clearly, who am I?" After the old woman finished speaking, she transformed into Guanyin Bodhisattva.

"Disciple Tang Sanzang pays homage to the Bodhisattva!" Tang Sanzang said quickly when he saw it.

But why did Guanyin Bodhisattva come here? This is because Zhunti knew in advance that Monkey King would leave at this time.Zhunti still knows about his former apprentice. In order to allow Tang Sanzang to command and discipline Sun Wukong, Zhunti specially made a golden hoop like the one in the original book, and specially asked Guanyin Bodhisattva to come and give it to Tang Sanzang.

After receiving a gift from Tang Sanzang, Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva spoke to Tang Sanzang.Hearing the words, Tang Sanzang hesitated for a while, then nodded, and left on the cloud.Tang Sanzang, on the other hand, waited for Monkey King in place, as Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva taught him.

Besides, Sun Wukong left on the cloud because of his anger. He flew on the cloud for a while, and when he passed the East China Sea, he went to the Crystal Palace and asked Ao Guang, the old dragon king of the East China Sea, for a glass of water and wine.Afterwards, Monkey King was ready to return to Huaguo Mountain.

However, at this time, Monkey King suddenly remembered the scene of Tang Sanzang sewing clothes for himself under the dim light last night.To be honest, Sun Wukong was born almost 1000 years ago, and no one has treated him like this.Thinking of this cheap master, Sun Wukong thought of his benefactor again.

Thinking of this, Monkey King couldn't help saying in his heart: "My old grandson has always kept his promises. Since he agreed to escort the monk to the west, how can he waste halfway." So he drove back the same way to look for Tang Sanzang.

After flying for a while, Monkey King saw Tang Sanzang resting by the roadside, so he lowered his cloud head and came to Tang Sanzang's side.Monkey King first smiled at Tang Sanzang, and said: "Master, why didn't you wait for me to go on the road alone, so I can find it easily!"

Tang Sanzang heard the words and said: "I can't wait for you, so I have to go on my own. Where have you been?"

"I haven't been out for activities in 500 years. I just went to my old neighbor to beg for a meal." Monkey King replied.

"You are well, but Master is still empty." Tang Sanzang said.

Sun Wukong heard the words and said: "Master, wait a minute, I'll go and prepare some vegetarian food for you."

Tang Sanzang said: "No need, there is some dry food in the teacher's bag, you go and get it, just eat some for the teacher."

"Oh, yes." Sun Wukong said.After speaking, Monkey King walked up to the burden and opened the burden.

Sun Wukong opened the bag and saw a very beautiful hat inside the bag.He said to Tang Sanzang, "Master, whose hat is this?"

"This is when my teacher was young." Tang Sanzang replied.

"Master, give it to me!" Monkey King said.

Tang Sanzang nodded and said: "If you can wear it, I will give it to you!"

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was overjoyed, grabbed his hat and put it on his head.Seeing Sun Wukong put on the hat, Tang Sanzang on the side closed his eyes and silently recited the mantra passed down by Guanyin Bodhisattva.

The hat worn by Monkey King is exactly the change of the golden hoop.As soon as Tang Sanzang recited the mantra, the hat changed back to its original gold hoop and tightened continuously on Monkey King's head.Suddenly, Monkey King only felt a splitting headache.

Sun Wukong persisted and came to the river. When he saw that there was a golden hoop on his head, he knew that this thing was causing trouble, so he took out the golden hoop stick and wanted to pry the golden hoop off.

When Tang Sanzang saw it, he became anxious and quickened his recitation of the mantra.

At this moment, Monkey King only felt that his head hurt even more. He couldn't bear the pain anymore, so he rolled on the spot.Seeing this, Tang Sanzang couldn't bear it, so he stopped.As soon as Tang Sanzang stopped chanting the mantra, Monkey King's head no longer hurt.

Monkey King got up, came to Tang Sanzang, and asked Tang Sanzang what was going on.Tang Sanzang didn't hide from him, and told him the whole thing.

When Sun Wukong heard this, he was furious, and he took the golden cudgel to go to Guanyin Bodhisattva to settle accounts.Tang Sanzang stopped it, saying that the mantra was passed down by Guanyin Bodhisattva, and Guanyin Bodhisattva would naturally know it, and Sun Wukong would go in vain if he went.

Sun Wukong thought about it, so he asked Tang Sanzang to loosen the golden hoop for himself.Tang Sanzang said that Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva only taught himself the mantra of tightening the band, and there was no mantra of loosening the band.When Sun Wukong heard the words, he felt uneasy for a while.

In the end, Tang Sanzang promised Sun Wukong that as long as Sun Wukong obeys the discipline in the future and does not do evil, he will never recite the curse.Monkey King had no choice but to agree.

So, the master and apprentice set off again and headed west.
