I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

"Old pig, can you take it now?"

Gu Ming smiled and stepped forward to ask.

Zhu Bajie rolled his eyes and asked slyly: "What do you want to serve? Victory or defeat is a common matter in military affairs. If the old pig loses today, we can fight again tomorrow!"

This time, not to mention Second Sister Mao, even Xiao Yao couldn't stand it anymore.

It's really rare for a person to be so shameless.

"My lord, didn't you say that whoever cheats is who is a pig?"

Zhu Bajie spoke convincingly: "That's right, the old pig is a pig, what's the problem?"

Gu Ming: "..."

Second Sister Mao blushed with anger, stomped her feet, gritted her teeth, pointed at Zhu Bajie and said, "You shameless man, my old lady has seen through you, you have no bones, what kind of man are you?

I don't want this Dongfu old lady anymore, I will give it to you, my old lady will go! "

After speaking, he pretended to leave.

"Daughter-in-law, don't go..."

Zhu Bajie quickly chased after him, with a look of remorse: "Daughter-in-law, the old pig made a mistake, can't it be okay?

In fact, Laozhu really cares about you, and is afraid that you and this Xiaobai... this guy will leave, so he refuses to admit defeat.

I'm afraid that if you lose, you won't want me..."

"I'm willing to bet and admit defeat. Since you made a promise, you must keep your promise."

"Yes, yes, the old pig knows what to do."

After finishing speaking, Zhu Bajie glanced at Gu Ming and said, "Brother, it was the old pig who was wrong before, and the old pig admits defeat. Please tell me what you want the old pig to do...

Let me tell you first, there is no way to hit the old pig's wife. Even if the old pig can't beat you, he will fight you hard. "

"Hahaha, who do you think I am? I just met your wife by chance and asked for directions. I didn't expect that she happened to be the mistress of the cave, so we came here together."

"So, you came here specially to find Laozhu? But...we don't seem to know each other?"

"That's right, I don't know you, but I know some of your experiences, so I made a special trip to visit you."

Zhu Bajie couldn't help blinking: "Who the hell are you?"

Gu Ming didn't answer directly, but said: "If it's convenient, let's take a step to speak."

"Okay... daughter-in-law, you go back first, and Laozhu will have a few words with this brother alone."

Second Sister Mao nodded: "Okay, but you are not allowed to mess around anymore, or I will really ignore you."

"Don't worry, daughter-in-law, the old pig will stop making trouble, stop making trouble."

It can be seen that Zhu Bajie still loves Second Sister Mao very much.

Gu Ming took Zhu Bajie to a secluded place, and raised his hand to place a restraint so that no one could eavesdrop on their conversation.

"Old Pig, has Master Avalokitesvara ever looked for you?"

"Huh? How do you know? Could it be that you are... from Tiangong?"

Zhu Bajie asked suspiciously.

"Don't worry about who I am first. From your tone, the Bodhisattva should have found you, asked you to worship the Buddhist scriptures as a teacher, and escort the Buddhist scriptures to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures. In this way, you can atone for your sins and achieve the right fruit."

"That's right, that's what the Bodhisattva said. He said that the person who learned the scriptures would pass by Gao Laozhuang, so I should always pay attention to the whereabouts of the person who learned the scriptures.

However, what is your purpose in telling the old pig about this?

Could it be that he wanted Lao Zhu not to worship that monk as his teacher and go to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures? "

"Hahaha, of course not..." Gu Ming smiled and waved his hands: "On the contrary, it is your chance to go to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures.

If you don't go, you are destined to be a pig demon all your life.

Anyway, you are also the Marshal of the Canopy, you can't just give up on yourself like this, guarding this small Fuling Mountain and become the king of the mountain, right?

Besides, you, the king of the mountain... Hehe, I'm sorry to say it bluntly, don't you think it's shabby with just a little demon as your subordinate? "

"Uh……"

These words seemed to hit Zhu Bajie's pain point, the muscles on his face twitched for a while, he didn't know how to answer.

"Old pig, cheer up, don't give up on yourself anymore."

Gu Ming raised his hand and patted Zhu Bajie's shoulder.

"But... if the old pig worships that Tang Dynasty monk as his teacher and goes to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, what will my wife do? She can't be remarried or be a widow, right?"

This point is exactly where Zhu Bajie is in a dilemma.

It's not going away, it's not going away...

Chapter 7 Let me ask who is like the Han Palace, poor Feiyan Yixin makeup!

For Zhu Bajie's little thought, Gu Ming already had a countermeasure.

"Old pig, one size is equal to one size. You get married first, and learn later, so there is no conflict in my opinion."

Zhu Bajie looked puzzled and said: "How can there be no conflict? Does worshiping a monk as a teacher mean becoming a monk?

How can I go home and take care of my daughter-in-law if I want to become a monk? "

"That depends on how you understand the word family.

The so-called home can be as small as a family, as large as a country, or even the world.

In this way, if you are in the middle of heaven and earth, how can you talk about becoming a monk? "

"This……"

"Moreover, old pig, let me ask you, where did the monks come from? Could it be that they all jumped out of stones like Monkey King?

To put it bluntly, he was also born into this world in a mother's womb.

The heaven and the earth give birth to life, and life reproduces from generation to generation. This is a rule of heaven, and it is also a way of human relations and reincarnation.

People are like this, everything is like this.

Once this way is violated, the consequence will be...the annihilation of all things!

In addition, the Buddha said to save all sentient beings, so who are all sentient beings?

If you can't even save yourself, what qualifications do you have to talk about saving sentient beings?

Whether it is a human being, a god, or a Buddha, everyone needs to understand their own strength, just like the folk saying, as big as your feet are, you can wear as big shoes as you want.

Everyone has ideals and dreams, but no matter the ideal or the dream, there must be a degree, not a fantasy, let alone a slogan.

Saying a thousand words or saying ten thousand words is not as good as actually doing one thing.

Therefore, you don't have to remember any slogans, but use your own ability to do everything well..."

Gu Ming talked endlessly, and Zhu Bajie nodded thoughtfully: "Well, although I don't quite understand it, I feel that it makes sense..."

Gu Ming: "..."

"Old pig, to put it simply, if you worshiped a Buddhist monk as a teacher, went to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and abandoned your daughter-in-law, would you feel very sad?"

"of course!"

"Abandoning a wife and a child is an act that is not justified, isn't it?"

"Well... yes yes yes."

"Also, if you abandon your daughter-in-law, then she will be very sad, sad, and even want to commit suicide... Then who will save her when she is in the most pain?

If she really passed away, then who killed her? "

"Uh……"

"If you can't even cross the people around you, what qualifications do you have to talk about saving sentient beings?"

Zhu Bajie pondered for a while, and suddenly became cheerful: "Hahaha, I understand, the old pig has realized it, hahaha.

In fact, what you mean is that as long as the old pig has a clear conscience, no matter what the rules and regulations are, they are just rigid things. "

"Old pigs can be taught!"

Gu Ming smiled and raised his thumb.

"Thank you brother for pulling it out, the old pig knows what to do. The daughter-in-law has to take care of the scriptures, otherwise the old pig will be a human inside and out..."

"That's right, to be a human being, you have to pay attention to wisdom, faith, sincerity, benevolence, righteousness, and loyalty.

If you just abandon your family and wife, you will lose your integrity and be inhumane.In this way, even if you get back the scriptures, what's the point? "

After a long talk, Gu Ming mixed the theories of Confucianism, Taoism, and Buddhism, and unconsciously planted a seed in Zhu Bajie's heart.

In fact, Zhu Bajie is not a person who likes to obey the rules, so Gu Ming's rhetoric is naturally easy to impress him.

All in all, Gu Ming's purpose is not to sabotage the matter of learning Buddhist scriptures from the West, but rather to prevent the four master and apprentice from being completely reduced to pawns.

At the same time, he also wants to carry forward the Confucian philosophy in the world of Journey to the West.

This is a bold idea, after all, Journey to the West is the world of Taoism and Buddhism.

If you want to get a share of it, you have to spend a lot of thought, and there are certain risks.

Of course, risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to avoid risks as much as possible, you must pay attention to some methods.

Next, Gu Ming stayed in Yunzhan Cave for nearly a month.

During the period, Zhu Bajie and Mao Erjie instilled a lot of Confucianism, and exchanged some experience in cultivation.

After that, I came to the capital of the Tang Dynasty: Chang'an City.

At this time, Chang'an City has become a prosperous capital.

The whole city is composed of Outer Guocheng, Imperial City, Miyagi, Forbidden Garden, and Square City, with a population of more than one million.

After Gu Ming came to Chang'an, he inquired about it and learned that Tang Sanzang was currently practicing Zen and teaching the Dharma in Dajue Temple, and he often entered the imperial palace.

However, Gu Ming didn't go to Tang Seng to avoid any mistakes before learning the scriptures.

After continuing to inquire, Gu Ming found a bank, exchanged gold leaves for some Tong Bao, and then came to the famous Changle Square in the city.

There are a total of [-] squares in Chang'an City, and Changle Square can be regarded as the largest and most prosperous one.

There are many brothels, gambling houses, rouge shops, calligraphy and painting shops, academies, etc., and it is also a place where literati and poets gather.

Come here, you can fully appreciate the openness of the Tang Dynasty, plump women in low-cut long skirts can be seen everywhere on the street.

They don't hide their beauty at all, with beautiful eyes and hopeful eyes, and clever smiles.

Compared with the chaotic world where demons danced wildly outside, Chang'an City can be called a blessed place on earth, no wonder it is so prosperous.

Gu Ming first found an inn to live in, and after some inquiries, he learned that there happened to be an empty courtyard near the inn for rent.

Therefore, Gu Ming entrusted the waiter in the shop to contact the owner of the house, and went to check it on the spot the next day.

The yard is not too big, with one entrance at the front and one at the front, it is small and exquisite. There are wells, gazebos, rockeries, flowers and plants in the yard.

There is also a small attic in the backyard. The lower room has a living room, a side hall, a study, etc., and the second floor has a main room and three guest rooms.

There are also several wing rooms in the front yard, kitchens, servant rooms, etc., and the furniture is also ready-made.

Although the price is a bit high, the yard is quite nice, quiet amidst the hustle and bustle... The important thing is that Gu Ming doesn't care about this small amount of money at all.

Before he entered Journey to the West, he bought a lot of gold leaves, not to mention renting, even if he bought the yard, it would be more than enough.

Besides, isn't it easy to make money with his ability?

Therefore, after negotiating a little price with the homeowner, the contract was signed on the spot, and half a year's rent was paid in one lump sum.

Then he entrusted the owner of the house to help find a few servants to take care of chores in the courtyard.

After getting acquainted with the environment and some basic conditions of Chang'an City for a few days, Gu Ming came to an elegant place called "Fangfei Garden".

In terms of scale, although Fangfei Garden cannot be called the largest romantic place in Chang'an City, it is well-deserved number one in terms of taste and popularity.

Many literati, even princes and grandsons, often linger here.

It is said that many well-known sayings are also spread from here.

Gu Ming chose this place because he wanted to quickly gain fame.
