I'm writing novels in Liaozhai

This is like brewing a good medicine. There must be fire, a pot, medicine, soup, and people. It seems that there are mild and heavy, but without all of them, you can't make a bowl of soup.

Therefore, if Gu Ming said that Xiao Bailong would not go to learn the scriptures, then the matter would become a big mess, which is equivalent to directly throwing the chessboard over to others.

At that time, it would be strange if the gods and buddhas all over the sky could let him go.

Although Gu Ming could leave a mess behind and walk away, doing so would lose the meaning of his journey to the world of Journey to the West.

Now that you are here, you must try your best to make things complete.

……

Two days later, Tang Seng finally arrived at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.

"Master, master..."

While resting, he heard a faint call.

Tang Seng didn't pay attention to it at first, but the sound rang out from time to time, which inevitably aroused his curiosity, and he couldn't help but follow the sound.

Seeing Tang Seng's figure appear, Monkey King was overjoyed: "Master, here, here, here..."

"Hey, this..."

Tang Seng couldn't help being surprised when he saw Monkey King pressing down on the mountain.

"Master, don't be afraid. I am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven. The Bodhisattva told me that Master will pass by here. Let me worship you as my teacher and escort Master to the west to learn scriptures."

Having said this, Tang Seng immediately remembered the previous instructions of Master Guanyin, saying that he would meet three disciples on the road and escort him to the West to learn scriptures.

However, Tang Seng never expected that he would become such an apprentice...

Sun Wukong was also clever, and he guessed what Tang Seng was thinking, and said: "Master, don't judge people by their appearance, I think my old grandson was the monkey king on Huaguo Mountain, the great sage equal to heaven canonized by the old son of the Jade Emperor.

It is a hundred thousand miles away to the west, and there are many ghosts and ghosts along the way.

Without the protection of his disciples, it would have been difficult for the master to reach the Western Paradise smoothly and meet the old Tathagata...

In short, I also ask the master to remove the seal on the mountain, so that the disciple can escape from the predicament and escort the master to the west to learn scriptures. "

Since Master Avalokitesvara had warned him before, Tang Seng naturally couldn't neglect it, so he asked: "However, the poor monk heard that the seal was left by the Tathagata Buddha. How can he break the seal as a teacher and an ordinary person?"

"Whether it can be peeled off, the master will know once he tries it."

"This……"

Tang Seng looked up at the peak that was so high that the top could not be seen, hesitated for a while, and finally nodded: "Okay, poor monk, give it a try."

"Great, thank you Master!"

So Tang Seng put down his Zen stick, found a relatively less steep place and began to climb to the top of the mountain.

Strange to say, he is not slow to climb up the mountain now that he is usually weak, as if there is a force supporting him to keep going up.

I thought I would have to climb for a long time, but I arrived at the top of the mountain in less than half an hour, and saw the Buddhist six-character mantra written with "Om Mani Padme Hum".

After 500 years of wind and rain, the mantra shows no signs of erosion.

Tang Seng tried to stretch out his hand to uncover... As a result, it came off very easily.

"Hahaha, great, great, my old grandson is finally getting out of trouble."

As soon as the seal was lifted, Monkey King sensed it immediately, and couldn't help laughing wildly with excitement.

Tang Seng was startled, and hurriedly yelled: "Wukong, the poor monk is still on the top of the mountain, so don't mess around."

"Master, hurry down the mountain, my grandson is coming out."

Tang Seng didn't bother to answer, so he hurried down the mountain the same way.

This time it was faster, and he went down to the foot of the mountain without a stick of incense.

"Master, step back."

"Back further away."

"It's not enough, just step back."

Following Monkey King's shout, Tang Seng led the white horse back again and again, at least two or three miles away.

"boom!"

At this time, an earth-shattering bang sounded in my ears.

Immediately afterwards, the tall Five Elements Mountain collapsed with a bang, gravel flew all over the sky, and smoke and dust covered the sky.

The nearby villagers were also frightened and panicked, looking for a place to hide...

"Grandpa Dasheng, it must be Grandpa Dasheng."

"The Five Elements Mountain has collapsed, Grandpa Dasheng finally came out..."

The villagers, regardless of age, called him Grandpa Dasheng.

"Hahaha!"

The booming sound was smooth, echoing Monkey King's happy laughter.

After all, after being trapped under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and finally getting out of trouble, it is natural to experience the feeling of freedom.

After commotion for a while, Sun Wukong fell from the sky, knelt down in front of Tang Monk and kowtowed: "Disciple Sun Wukong kowtowed to Master, thank you for saving Master."

Tang Seng was very pleased to see Sun Wukong's ability to climb mountains and sky with his own eyes. He stretched out his hand to help Sun Wukong up: "Wukong, since you have worshiped as a teacher, you will be regarded as a Buddhist disciple in the future. You must abide by the rules and regulations, and you must not be stubborn."

Sun Wukong didn't contradict him, he just agreed.

Unexpectedly, at this time, a huge tiger sprang out from nowhere, aiming at Tang Seng and rushing towards him...

"Master, be careful!"

Sun Wukong shouted and rushed forward.

Knowing Sun Wukong's strength, Tang Seng couldn't help but shouted: "Goku is merciful, just drive him away, don't hurt his life."

Unfortunately, Monkey King didn't know whether he didn't hear clearly or was lazy to pay attention to it, so he went forward and beat the tiger to death with three punches and two kicks.

Seeing the tiger lying in a pool of blood, Tang Seng couldn't help but close his eyes and chant: "Amitabha, sin, sin!"

Sun Wukong smiled and dragged the tiger back: "Master, this tiger skin just makes a shawl for the master to keep out the cold, and the disciple can also make an apron..."

"Wukong!" Tang Seng's face turned cold, and he scolded: "My teacher told you not to kill it, why didn't you listen?"

"Master, if the disciple hadn't shot it, the tiger would have killed the master long ago. Why couldn't the disciple kill it?"

"But aren't you here? Even if it really eats the teacher, the teacher can't break the precept of killing..."

Sun Wukong had heard about Tang Seng's pedantry from Gu Ming a long time ago, and he was too lazy to argue with him, bowing to him and saying, "Yes, yes, my disciple knows his mistake."

"Oh, no matter, you have just been apprenticed to a teacher, and there are many truths that the teacher has not explained to you."

After finishing speaking, Tang Seng subconsciously glanced at the tiger, and then read a few scriptures for him to cross over.

Finally Fang said: "Look at how clean and smooth you are, just as you said, use this tiger skin to make an apron for you to cover."

"Thank you Master!"

After a rest, the master and apprentice continued westward.

That night, Monkey King had a dream in a daze. He dreamed that someone persuaded him to kill Tang Seng, saying that his master was just a mere mortal who couldn't fly and couldn't use spells.

Monkey King woke up, knowing that it was a demon.

Coupled with Gu Ming's advice before, naturally he would not do such a stupid thing.

If you really want to kill Tang Seng, what greets him is not freedom, but the endless pursuit of gods and Buddhas in the sky...

But what Monkey King didn't expect was that on the second day, the heart demon turned into a few robbers to block the way, intending to kill Tang Seng.

Sun Wukong naturally tried his best to protect, and finally obliterated the demons.

It's a pity that although Tang Seng was a disciple of the Tathagata in his previous life, he is a mortal with naked eyes in this life, and he is dogmatic and pedantic. Seeing that Monkey King killed several robbers in front of him, he was naturally extremely furious, and he didn't listen to Monkey King at all. explain.

"Master, these robbers were transformed by the inner demons of this disciple, you see, you see for yourself..."

Monkey King picked up the empty clothes one by one and explained: "If they are human, why are there no bones?"

But Tang Seng said angrily: "With your ability, there is naturally a way to make their bones disappear. How can you be called a monk if you are so cruel and merciless? You go, I don't want you to escort me as a teacher."

In a fit of anger, Monkey King was too lazy to argue any longer, and left directly in the air.

In fact, Tang Seng was just an angry remark, seeing that Monkey King really left as he said, he was a little dumbfounded for a while.

Although he is pedantic, he also knows that there are many ferocious beasts, robbers, and even monsters along the way. How could he reach the Great Leiyin Temple in Xitian by himself?

It was not easy to receive an apprentice with a strong ability, but he also got a bad temper...

Forget it, one step is one step.

Tang Seng sighed secretly, and rode on the white horse listlessly and continued on.

After walking not far, I met Guanyin...

After some persuasion, Master Guanyin gave Tang Seng a gold hoop and a piece of clothing, and explained in a low voice.

"Remember, after that monkey head comes back, once he puts on the golden hoop, he can't take it off again. If he dares to be naughty again, you can recite the magic spell that I taught you just now, so that he won't dare to mess around."

Tang Seng was overjoyed, and hurriedly saluted: "Thank you, Master Guanyin!"

"Okay, this trip to the west is far away and full of dangers. You have to maintain a firm heart at all times, so that you can achieve the true fruit of cultivation and get back the scriptures."

"Disciple remember the teachings of Bodhisattva!"

Tang Seng looked pious and saluted.

When he raised his head, Master Guanyin had disappeared.

"Amitabha!"

Tang Seng closed his eyes and recited the Buddha's name, then glanced at the golden hoop and clothes that Guanyin had just given him, feeling very relieved in his heart.

With the appearance of Guanyin Bodhisattva, he believed that Monkey King would come back obediently.

In fact, Sun Wukong would have come back even if Guanyin hadn't persuaded him. He just took advantage of this opportunity and ran back to Huaguo Mountain for a walk.

After all, I have been suppressed for 500 years, and I still miss the happy time when I was the Monkey King in Huaguo Mountain.

"The king is back, the king is back!"

As soon as Sun Wukong came back, some monkey monkeys shouted in surprise.

Among these monkey grandchildren, because Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the underworld and ruined the life and death book, some monkey grandchildren also followed suit, escaped the cycle of life and death, and are still alive today.

"Children, my grandson is back!"

All of a sudden, the entire Huaguo Mountain boiled up...

However, Monkey King knew that he had a heavy responsibility to bear, so he didn't dare to delay too long. After only staying for a long time, he returned to Xiniu Hezhou with another somersault, and found Tang Seng who was on his way alone...

Chapter 14 Reining in the White Dragon Horse

Tang Seng was naturally very happy when he saw Monkey King coming back.

However, he put on the air of a master and reprimanded him, first gave him a stick, and then handed him a sweet date.

"Wukong, I have prepared a set of clothes for you as a teacher, try to see if it fits you well."

Inadvertently, the golden hoop was also wrapped in the clothes and handed over together.

Guanyin has already grasped Sun Wukong's temper, if you suddenly take out a golden hoop for him to wear, he will definitely not obey.

But let him discover it by himself, he will think it is a treasure, and he can't wait to wear it.

That way, it would be considered as taking the initiative to put a magic spell on himself.

But Guanyin miscalculated this time... because she couldn't count a variable, and that was Gu Ming.

To this world, Gu Ming is a bug.

He understands the direction and turning point of all important plots, and also understands the true intention behind the journey to the West.

He arrived at the Five Elements Mountain one step ahead of time, and secretly told Monkey King some things... Among them, he mentioned the golden hoop and told Monkey King not to wear it.

"Thank you, Master, thank you, Master."

Sun Wukong happily tried on the new clothes, and the gold hoop fell out naturally.

"Huh? What kind of baby is this?"
