There is no time in the mountains, and 500 years have passed. On this day, Wukong is as usual. Under the Five Elements Mountain, except for one head and two hands, he can’t move. The sound of the Buddha's trumpet made his heart move, and he said loudly: "Which way did the gods come here?"

As soon as the words fell, a woman in a flying white skirt floated down. She had black hair like clouds, eyebrows like willow leaves, a lotus jade face, and a willow branch jade bottle in her hand. She leaned over to look at Wukong, and said with a smile: " Sun, do you recognize me?"

Wukong blinked, and said: "Looking at the good life, the face is kind, isn't it the Guanyin Bodhisattva from the purple bamboo forest in Putuoluojia Mountain in the South China Sea?"

Guanyin smiled and said, "Exactly!"

Wukong said happily: "It is a Bodhisattva, can you save me? Then the Tathagata deceived me and kept me here for 500 years. It is really sad."

Avalokitesvara shook her head, frowned and said: "You have a lot of sins, if I rescue you, you will be in trouble again, how can you do it?"

Wukong was in a hurry, and hurriedly said: "No! No! I have already regretted it. I must do more good deeds and cultivate my character!"

Avalokitesvara laughed and said, "Are you serious?"

"Really! Seriously!" Wukong nodded repeatedly, afraid that Guanyin would regret it.

Avalokitesvara said: "Well, according to my Buddha's order, I will go to the Eastern Tang Dynasty to find an eminent monk who learns scriptures. He is your master. Ask him to save you. You will become his disciple and enter my Buddhist school. How about the result of rectification? "

Wukong thought to himself: It doesn't matter if you are a monk or something. After I come out, why don't you just let me be free?

With a calm expression on his face, he agreed with all his mouth: "Let the Bodhisattva be the master, why don't you just take a sutra? Why is it so difficult?"

Guanyin nodded slightly, very relieved, and said: "I have already found two Buddhist scriptures, and you are the third one. They are also the generation of Wu characters, and they coincide with your Sun Wukong three characters, so they are very predestined. I will go now. "

After finishing speaking, he immediately flew away in the clouds and fog.

Wukong stared wide-eyed at the white clouds in the sky, feeling like he was about to fly, full of hope.

"Wukong, long time no see." Suddenly a person said.

Wukong was shocked. He saw a person sitting cross-legged in front of him, looking at him with a smile. He didn't know when he came. It was the brother who hadn't seen him for 500 years.

Qu Zheng still looked the same, but his hair was cut short, refreshing and good-looking, and this was also for the convenience of taking care of.

"Senior brother!" He yelled, both surprised and happy, tears filled his eyes instantly, and he said with a flattened mouth: "You finally came to see me. In the past 500 years, including Taibai, no one has come to see me."

"You are guilty of treason, who would dare to come to see you?"

Qu Zheng held Wukong's face in his hands, looked left and right, and said with a smile: "Come on, let me see, our Wukong is still so handsome and majestic."

As he spoke, he picked up a fallen leaf from Wukong's head, and saw that the fur on Wukong's head was covered with green moss, his face was dirty and black, he looked embarrassed and pitiful, how could he still have the slightest prestige of the past?

It was 500 years for Wukong when he left, and he only went back for a few days, and he came here immediately, but he still felt the changes in the vicissitudes of life here.

"Brother, why are you crying?" Wukong said suddenly.

"How can there be?" Qu Zheng hastily denied, rubbing his eyes, wiping away the tears, and said, "Sand got in my eyes."

Wukong stretched out his hand and held his senior brother's arm tightly, and said excitedly: "Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva just said that there will be a sutra learner to save me. After I come out, I can drink and celebrate with senior brother."

"Don't wait until then," Qu Zheng stretched his hands behind his back, and after a while, stretched out again, as if by magic, there was an extra wine gourd in his hand.

Wukong's eyes lit up, and he said happily, "What kind of wine is this?"

"Monkey wine, your favorite drink." Qu Zheng uncorked the wine, and immediately a rich aroma of fruit wine overflowed, mellow and tangy.

Wukong grinned and said repeatedly: "Monkey wine! Monkey wine! I haven't had it for many years!"

Monkey wine is the wine brewed by monkeys. It is brewed from more than a hundred kinds of fresh fruits. It is truly natural and pollution-free. When Wukong was in Huaguo Mountain, monkey monkey grandson specially brewed this wine for him. He drank it for hundreds of years, but now it is Even if I want to drink, I can't drink it.

Wukong hastily took the wine gourd from Qu Zheng's hand, and poured it continuously.

Qu Zheng smiled and said, "Slow down! Slow down! No one will compete with you."

Wukong was like a swimming dragon sucking water, he sucked up a large gourd of wine in one gulp, he wiped his mouth full of desire, but couldn't hold back the tears.

Qu Zheng wiped away his tears pitifully, and sighed: "You still cry when you drink?"

Wukong sobbed: "I just thought of those children in my Huaguo Mountain. Now that many years have passed, I don't know what's going on? Has anyone bullied them?"

Qu Zheng said, "Before I came to you, I went to Huaguo Mountain to see them, and they entrusted me to bring you this jug of wine."

Wukong was startled, scratched his ears and cheeks happily, and shouted: "That's great, are they all okay?"

Qu Zheng said: "It's pretty good, except for thinking about you, the king, there's nothing serious about it."

He lied. In fact, since Wukong was convicted of making troubles in the Heavenly Palace and was suppressed by Tathagata under the Five Elements Mountain, the news spread all over the Three Realms, and the group of monkeys also suffered disaster. They were miserable.

When Qu Zheng arrived, he used all kinds of indescribable means to kill many monsters, rescued the monkeys, and let out the wind that Wukong was about to return, and only then did he return the temporary tranquility of the Water Curtain Cave. .

He didn't want to tell Wukong these things, he just felt sorry for the other party, so what if he knew it, it would only increase his troubles.

Qu Zheng sighed inwardly, and said, "Wukong, do you want to know about Master?"

Wukong said anxiously: "Master, where is the old man now? He wants to kill me."

Qu Zheng said: "No rush, I'll tell you a story first."

"Story?!" Wukong's eyes widened.

"It is said that there is Chang'an City in the East, which is the place where the emperors of all dynasties built their capitals. Since the Zhou, Qin and Han Dynasties, the three states have been blooming like brocades, eight rivers flow around the city, 36 flower willow lanes, and 72 orchestra buildings. It has been prosperous for a hundred years. Now it is The capital of the Tang Dynasty was established, Emperor Taizong Li Shimin ascended the throne, changed Yuan Zhenguan, and the world was peaceful for a while, all parties paid tribute, and the four seas proclaimed their ministers. This morning, Wei Zheng, a famous minister and prime minister, presented himself to Emperor Taizong, opened an examination room, and recruited talents. Taizong approved the performance. The list was announced, and talents from all prefectures and prefectures took the exam one after another. Among them was a talented person whose surname was Chen Mingye, whose name was Guangrui.

Qu Zheng narrowed his eyes slightly, and spoke eloquently.

"When Chen Guangrui, the number one scholar, was parading through the streets, he passed by Prime Minister Yin Kaishan. He had a daughter, Wen Jiao, who was throwing hydrangea balls to recruit her husband and wife in a high-end building. When she fell in love with Chen Guangrui at first sight, the hydrangea balls were thrown on the number one scholar immediately.

The two got married in a few days, and were given a job in Jiangzhou by Emperor Taizong. The husband and wife went to Jiangzhou to take up the post, Xiaoxing stayed overnight, and when they arrived at the Hongjiang Ferry, they rented a boat to cross the river. There were two boatmen, one named Liu Hong. , one named Li Biao. "

When Qu Zheng said this, he opened his eyes and said, "Monkey, guess what will happen?"

Wukong blinked and said, "Those two boatmen killed people and robbed money?"

Qu Zheng hummed, with a heavy face, and said: "I guessed half right, not only robbing money but also robbing sex. That man called Liu Hong saw that Miss Yin was young and beautiful, and she was ashamed of the moon, so he became sick and went with another boatman. Li Biao conspired to kill Chen Zhuangyuan and throw him into the river, forcing Miss Yin to follow him, and took the title of the champion, assuming his status, and took office in Jiangzhou, becoming a high official."

"Hey..." Wukong yelled loudly, cursing: "It's really hateful. If I were here, I would definitely kill that beast, kill the husband, prostitute, wives, and daughters. Even the beast can't do it. What happened afterwards?"

Qu Zheng said: "Miss Yin was pregnant at the time, so she had no choice but to follow Liu Hong and endure the humiliation. Not long after, she gave birth to a son without telling Liu Hong. In the belly, it is not easy."

Wukong was surprised: "There is such a thing? What is the origin of this son?"

Qu Zheng said: "He is our master Jin Chanzi, the closed disciple of the Tathagata. After ten reincarnations, he also became a monk for the tenth life. He practiced Buddhism for the tenth life. This is the last life."

Wukong said "Ah..." and was stunned when he called "Master!"

After a while, he murmured: "Is the Buddhist scriptures mentioned by Guanyin Bodhisattva the master?"

Qu Zheng nodded, and continued: "Miss Yin knew that Liu Hong would definitely kill her son, so the next day, while Liu Hong was out, she reluctantly put her into the river and wrote a letter in blood. Her son went down the river and ended up in Jinshan Temple. , was adopted by Monk Faming, the elder of Jinshan Temple, and was given the baby name Jiang Liuer. After Jiang Liuer, by accident, he learned of his life experience and found his mother. She was rescued, and the family of three was able to reunite. Miss Yin’s father was Yin Kaishan, the prime minister of the dynasty, and knowing the cause and effect, he went to Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, copied that Liu Hong’s house, and beheaded him immediately, avenging his great revenge.”

Hearing this, Wukong said happily, "This can be considered a happy ending."

Qu Zheng said: "Jiang Liu'er's father has resumed his official position, he also has a Dharma name, named Xuanzang, and returned to Jinshan Temple to practice. Originally, the story ended here, and nothing happened to him, but it happened again in Chang'an City not long after. Lots of oddities."

Wukong asked: "What strange thing?"

Qu Zheng laughed and said: "It's too long to talk about, I can't finish it in three days, anyway, you just need to know that Avalokitesvara set up tricks every step of the way, just like the nine chains, interlocking and turbulent, making Tang Wang Taizong firmly believed in the cause and effect of Buddhism. First, he ordered the world, and then called more than 1000 monks to hold a water and land meeting in Chang'an City. Master Xuanzang presided over the reciting of scriptures and preaching the Dharma. He showed up and told about the Mahayana Buddhist scriptures in Daleiyin Temple in Xitian, which led Xuanzang to go to Xitian to learn Buddhist scriptures, and the king of Tang personally saw him off, and the trip to learn Buddhist scriptures began."

To put it simply, Yuan Shoucheng and the Dragon King of Jinghe made a bet on rain. In order to win the bet, the Dragon King deducted the raindrops, violated the rules of heaven, and caused a fatal disaster. The Dragon King asked the King of Tang to rescue him in his dream. Unexpectedly, Prime Minister Wei Zheng beheaded the Dragon King in his dream.

The Dragon King went to the underworld to sue Tang Wang for not following the agreement to save him. The King of Hades detained Tang Wang's soul, and the judge secretly added 20 years of Yangshou to Tang Wang.

Therefore, the king of Tang personally experienced the strange incident of resurrection from the dead, and had a deep awe of ghosts and gods, so he agreed to Tang Xuanzang's journey to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures, and all these were the means of Guanyin's play.

Wukong said: "It turns out that Guanyin Bodhisattva is very far-sighted."

Qu Zheng said: "Yes, in September of the 13th year of Tang Zhenguan, Emperor Taizong and Xuanzang became brothers, called Yudi, and sent them to the outside of Chang'an with all the officials. Tang Xuanzang embarked on the road to the west."

"Hey, that's not right!" Wukong suddenly exclaimed, "Will Master know magic spells after reincarnation?"

Qu Zheng shook his head.

Wukong said: "Do you know martial arts then?"

Qu Zheng still shook his head.

Wukong became anxious again, and shouted: "Then what should I do? The road to the west is very difficult and dangerous, and there are many ghosts and ghosts. I am afraid that Master will lose his life soon after leaving Chang'an City."

Qu Zheng laughed again, and said: "You think Guanyin can't think of this? Guanyin found you to protect our master, nothing unexpected."

Wukong said: "Master is also very dangerous before coming to my Five Elements Mountain, I am really worried."

Qu Zheng said: "So your senior brother, I'm going to pick him up now."

Wukong was stunned, and suddenly said: "Yes, it is safe to have a brother to pick up Master."

"Hmm..." Qu Zheng said softly, "Monkey, you can wait at ease, I'm going right away."

After finishing speaking, he turned into a shooting star in front of Wukong and headed east.

"Brother, hurry up..." Wukong shouted: "Don't forget, I'm waiting for you and Master!"
