[Journey to the West] Funny Monk and Cute Girl

Hearing the last sentence, Ge Ling's forehead twitched, if only her forehead could twitch.After fighting for a long time, the little monk spent so much time to rescue her just to eat her.In her opinion, it wasn't the fisherman who was strange, but a monk like him, who thought of killing animals to eat meat even if he didn't believe in Buddhism.

Ge Ling was waiting to be killed, but the little monk left after saying this.He went to lie down on the low wooden bed, hooked a blue thread-bound scripture book and covered his face.At this time, the courtyard door of the meditation room creaked, accompanied by a voice: "Jiang Liuer, are you back yet?"

Hearing the sound, the little monk got up from the bed, found the lid and put the water tank on, and went out of the meditation room.Ge Ling fell into the sudden darkness, blinked his eyes twice, oh... fish have no eyelids.

But, Jiang Liu'er...isn't Tang Seng's nickname?He was thrown away at the full moon, came down the river, was adopted by Elder Faming, and took the baby name Jiang Liu'er.So, this little monk is the Tang monk named Xuanzang.And she turned out to be the golden carp that Tang Seng rescued when he was a child in the play.

What a coincidence, I feel astonished.But... the Tang Seng in her impression is not of this character.Could it be... Master Wu fabricated it, didn't he?

While Ge Ling was thinking wildly, Xuanzang had already left the meditation room.A big monk who was much older than him came in from the yard. The big monk had a light gray robe and a cold face.Xuanzang walked over and asked, "Brother Xuanjing, what do you want me for?"

The monk named Xuanjing said: "Waiting for your firewood to cook, what are you talking about? Oh, don't tell me, you forgot about it."

Xuanzang touched the back of his head, he really forgot about it.Xuan Jing looked at him, and said in a very serious tone: "I said Jiang Liuer, it's not good for you to act unscrupulously and arrogantly relying on Master's love for you like this."

Xuanzang knew that this brother Xuanjing wanted to take the mantle of Elder Faming and the position of abbot in the monastery.And he, the youngest disciple favored by Elder Fa Ming, was a stumbling block to Xuan Jing.Therefore, Xuanjing has always treated him with a disliked attitude.What was wronged was that he, Xuanzang, had no interest in Elder Faming's mantle.

These are not the most important thing, the most important thing right now is that he traded the firewood for fish.If such a matter was caught by Xuan Jing, I don't know how long I would have to talk about it, it would be annoying to think about it.Xuanzang thought for a while, smiled, looked at Xuanjing and said sincerely: "Brother, I have already picked up the firewood and put it in the firewood room." There is so much firewood in the firewood room, who knows if he has put new firewood in it? Firewood goes in.

Xuanjing's eyes converged, and she looked at Xuanzang, "Nonsense, why didn't I see it?"

"When I came back, I untied the rope and piled up all the firewood. There was a lot of firewood in the firewood room, so it's normal for senior brother not to notice. Monks don't tell lies, so senior brother doesn't believe me?" Xuanzang's attitude was respectful, neither humble nor overbearing, " If Senior Brother doesn’t believe it, we can go to Master to have a look.”

Xuan Jing was choked, so such a trivial matter naturally couldn't bother Elder Fa Ming.Having nothing to say, he glanced at Xuanzang again, then flung his sleeves away.

"Senior brother, go slowly." Xuanzang followed and closed the courtyard door, heaved a sigh of relief and went back to the meditation room.He entered the meditation room, walked to the tank, lifted the lid on the tank, looked at Ge Ling and said, "Little Yu'er, tell yourself, should I let you go, or should I stay here with me?"

Ge Ling flicked his tail a few times, his head came out of the water, stared into Xuanzang's eyes and said, "I'm also homeless if you let me go. I don't know where to go, so let me stay with you."

Xuanzang's pupils dilated instantly after hearing this, obviously he was not at all prepared for the fish to speak out.He was stunned for a long while, his eyes kept meeting Ge Ling's.Ge Ling waited for his answer, but saw him straighten up suddenly, let out a scream like a slaughtered pig, ran out of the meditation room, and shouted: "A monster!"

Ge Ling's forehead went black, shouldn't Tang Seng be frightened weakly?Is it right to step back weakly and call "Wukong, save me..."?The one who is so funny and bluffing, are you sure it is Tang Seng?

Xuanzang was so frightened by Ge Ling that he ran straight out of the yard and ran for dozens of steps before stopping.After he stopped, he was a little at a loss, neither standing nor sitting, with his hands on his chin, feeling lost.In the end, he squatted down and said to himself, "I'm hallucinating? No, it's clearly the fish that spoke."

Just when Xuanzang was behaving strangely, Elder Faming passed by.Seeing that Xuanzang was not the same as before, he walked up behind him and poked his ass with his stick.Xuanzang jumped up and ran away, yelling: "Monster..."

Before he could take a step, another disciple beside Elder Fa Ming grabbed the back of his clothes, and then turned around.Xuanzang saw that he was the elder Faming, and knew that he was impolite, so he hurriedly stood up and saluted Faming, "Master."

"What's wrong with you? You're screaming out of your wits." Elder Fa Ming asked.

"I..." Xuanzang closed his mouth for a long time, thinking that it was better not to say that he had picked up a carp spirit.Turning his mind, he hurriedly changed the topic and said: "I was chased by a snake just now. That snake has four legs. I thought it was a monster, so I was so frightened that I lost my mind."

Elder Fa Ming frowned, "Nonsense, there has never been a monster in Jinshan Temple."

"Yes, yes, I also thought that my vision was wrong. When I ran here, the snake disappeared. I squatted down to look for it, and I met you, Master." Xuanzang replied respectfully.

Elder Faming looked at him, "Don't disturb people's hearts because of some trivial things, have you studied Buddhism well recently?"

"Xuanzang dare not neglect what the master ordered." In this Jinshan Temple, Xuanzang didn't care about anyone, he only respected Faming.It was because he was picked up by Fa Ming since he was a child, and he was brought up with all his heart, teaching many Buddhist teachings.

The more Xuanzang knew about Buddhism, the more treacherous thoughts he had in his heart.Although he is in the Buddhist gate, he does not want to have a Buddha in his heart.What is Buddha?God knows.So why should the Buddha be bound for a lifetime, and obey the arrangement of a non-existent thing for the rest of his life?Since Xuanzang didn't know where he came from, he was naturally unwilling to hand himself over to that unknown Buddha in such a muddled manner.

He Xuanzang should belong to him.Knowing where you come from and deciding where you want to go is life.It is not the Dharma, but the kindness of Faming that can still bind him in this Buddhist gate.

Xuanzang accompanied Faming to eat vegetarian food, and returned to his small meditation room at night when the stars were floating in the sky.He entered the yard, closed the door, and then walked towards the door holding his breath.When he arrived at the door, he carefully looked in by the door, for fear of seeing...

"Ah..." A huge fish eye was blocked in front of him, and the pupils dilated.Xuanzang screamed in fright, his face turned pale, and he fell to the ground.

Ge Ling was just trying to scare him as a prank, but he didn't expect him to cooperate so directly.Seeing Xuanzang collapsed, she hurriedly turned into a human form, opened the door, went out and squatted down next to Xuanzang.Xuanzang still opened his eyes, looking at the starry sky with dull eyes.When he saw a woman in white clothes and long hair appearing above him, his eyes moved.

"How are you?" Ge Ling looked down at him, and at the same time reached out and poked his chest.

Xuanzang came back to his senses, hurriedly hugged his chest, sat up and stepped back a few times, looked at Ge Ling and said, "You...you...you..."

"Am I that golden carp?" Ge Ling was still squatting in front of him, taking his words.

Xuanzang nodded, and Ge Ling said, "Yes."

Xuanzang looked mournful and said pitifully, "Female benefactor, I haven't showered for several days, and my body smells bad. My meat doesn't taste good, and my essence doesn't taste good. I beg you to let me go. Catch me." Yours is the fisherman, if you want to eat people, go to him."

Ge Ling suppressed a smile, "But I see that you have thin skin and tender flesh, and you are also good-looking, so I like you more."

Xuanzang held back a tear from the corner of his eye, and looked at Ge Ling pleadingly.Ge Ling smiled, moved his feet, and moved a little closer to him, "Am I good-looking?"

Xuanzang bit his lip and shook his head, Ge Ling stared at him and said, "Monks don't lie."

Xuanzang had no choice but to bite his lip and nod again.The corner of Ge Ling's mouth smiled even wider, "Then why are you so afraid of me?"

"I'm afraid you will eat me." Xuanzang said very sincerely.

"I won't eat you." Ge Ling said with a smile, Xuanzang breathed a sigh of relief after speaking, and she said again: "But I will..."

"How is it?" Xuanzang's breathing tightened again.

Ge Ling reached out and poked his cheek, "Molested you."

Xuanzang's heart jumped uncontrollably, he rolled his eyes, and fell to the ground.Seeing that he was intimidated by him again, Ge Ling hurried over, reached out and patted his face, "Hey, Tang Sanzang, I was joking."

Xuanzang suddenly opened his eyes, and said woodenly: "Female benefactor, don't blindly change people's surnames if you have nothing to do. My lay family surname is Chen, my Dharma name is Xuanzang, and my name is Chen Xuanzang. Where did the Tang surname and Sanzang come from?"

Ge Ling paused, then remembered that the Tang surname was given to him by Tang Taizong, and the name Sanzang was also given by Tang Taizong.Now he is just a young monk doing odd jobs in the deacon hall in the temple. He has not yet become famous in the Buddhist circle, and he has never met Tang Taizong. Of course, his surname is neither Tang nor Sanzang.

Ge Ling pursed his lips, and before he could speak, he heard a knock on the courtyard door, and a man's voice sounded, "Jiang Liuer, have you fallen asleep yet?"

Xuanzang recognized the voice of his elder brother Xuanjing, so Gulu turned over, pulled Ge Ling on his back and ran into the meditation room.He adjusted his breathing, and said loudly, "Is it senior brother? I fell asleep, what do you want from me?"

Xuanjing said outside: "Master is going to Fuhua Temple to teach Buddhism tomorrow. If you want to accompany me, I will let you know. Whether you want to go or not is up to you."

"Oh, I see, thank you brother." After Xuanzang answered, he heard Xuanjing's footsteps going away.

Xuanzang heaved a sigh of relief and turned around, only then did he realize that he was still holding Ge Ling's hand.With a slight flush on his face, he hurriedly lifted Ge Ling's hand, "Female benefactor, where are you from, you should go back."
