[Journey to the West] Funny Monk and Cute Girl

Xuanzang's fist stopped in the air, he raised his head, it was Elder Faming.Xuanzang suppressed his inner anger, stood still in front of Elder Fa Ming, took a long breath and said, "Master, this disciple understands his mistake."

"Kneel down in front of the Buddha and think about your mistakes." Fa Ming said, he stopped looking at Xuanzang, and then turned to Xuanjing and said, "Xuanjing went back to the meditation room, facing the wall and thinking about his mistakes."

"Yes." Xuanjing Xuanzang said in unison.The two have been together for a lifetime, and they only spoke in unison once.There was no opportunity before, and there is no opportunity since then.

But Ge Ling returned to the meditation room by himself and floated in the vat for a long time, but he didn't wait for Xuanzang to come back.Without Xuanzang returning, it was difficult for her to sleep peacefully.After staying in the water for a while, Ge Ling felt extremely bored, so he stepped out and turned into a little monk.She searched the temple for a while, and finally saw Xuanzang in the main hall.

At this time Xuanzang was kneeling in the hall, clasping his hands together, staring straight at the stone statue of Tathagata.Ge Ling was about to go in and talk to him, when he heard someone approaching the main hall, he dodged into the hall and hid on the beam.

The person who came was Elder Faming. He leaned on his staff and entered the hall.Walking in front of the Buddha statue, he put down his staff, sat cross-legged on the futon next to Xuanzang, and put his hands together in front of his chest.Xuanzang looked away from the Tathagata statue, looked at Elder Faming and said, "Master, why are you still awake?"

"Xuanzang, do you really know that you are wrong?" Elder Fang found out without answering the question, looking at the stone statue of Tathagata.

Xuanzang lowered his head slightly, "I shouldn't have talked back to Senior Brother Xuanjing, let alone hit him, this disciple knows his mistake."

"Alas..." Elder Invention finally took his eyes off the Buddha statue, heaved a long sigh, and said, "Xuanzang, what is in front of you?"

"It is Tathagata." Xuanzang said without hesitation.

"It's Buddha." Fa Ming said.

Xuanzang fixed his eyes on the stone statue, and after a long time, he said slowly: "Master, what do you mean by Buddha? If the Buddha is just this stone statue, or the original body of this stone statue, it lives in Daleiyin Temple in Lingshan. The Tathagata in the book, why should I believe in him? Tathagata is not a Buddha, and I don’t know what a Buddha is, so I can’t enter that door.”

Elder Fa Ming's waist, which was straight before, had already bent down into an arc.His closed palms no longer felt any perception, and he just said: "Xuanzang, you still don't know where you are wrong. If you know your mistakes, see through the confusion, and only the Buddha is left in your heart, then you can take over my mantle. , Lord, I am Jinshan Temple. I... have been waiting for this day."

Elder Xuanzang turned his head to Faming, and said earnestly, "I feel that it is unjust for me to live up to Master's expectations. However, Brother Xuanjing is more suitable than me to be the master of this temple. I only want to be in the deacon hall and accompany Master in this life." .”

Faming's palms were trembling. Xuanzang was many times more enlightened than other disciples since he was a child, so he always placed his hopes on Xuanzang.It's just that while Xuanzang was enlightened, he didn't believe in Buddhism after knowing the Buddha. This is also a difficult part of Faming.He only felt that the time had not come, and when the time came, Xuanzang would definitely return to Buddhism.

However, Fa Ming waited for these eighteen years, and his expectations were still in vain.And that so-called time, he didn't know when it was.Faming was silent for a long while before he opened his mouth and said, "Xuanzang, I thought that you would be able to focus on the Dharma without worrying about your former body. I was wrong. Come to my courtyard tomorrow, and I will tell you where you came from. After you know your background, whether you go or stay is up to you to decide."

After Faming finished speaking, he did not wait for Xuanzang to speak.After worshiping a few times in front of the Buddha statue, he left the hall.

Xuanzang stayed where he was, and all his movable thoughts were in the life experience mentioned by Elder Faming.It turns out that he is not a wild child, he has a reason.Elder Fa Ming knew where he came from.

Xuanzang has lived to such an age, and he only cares about two things: one is his own background, and the other is Elder Faming.He also knew that Elder Fa Ming had always expected him to concentrate on Buddhism, stay in Buddhism, and take over his mantle.Presumably, Elder Fa Ming never told him his life experience, it must have something to do with this expectation.

Ge Ling stayed on the beam of the main hall, listening to the conversation between the two.When it comes to Tang Seng's life experience, she is also a clear person. Eighteen years ago, Tang Seng's biological father Chen Guangrui won the first prize.When he was parading through the streets in red and colorful clothes, he was hit by a hydrangea ball thrown by Yin Wenjiao, a lady of the prime minister's family.

After that, Chen Guangrui and Yin Wenjiao got married naturally.After marriage, Chen Guangrui took his beloved wife and family children to Jiangzhou, where he was killed by Liu Hong, the boatman who was interested in sex, and the young lady was taken.After Chen Guangrui was killed, Liu Hong put on Chen Guangrui's clothes and took Miss Yin's family to Jiangzhou to take office.

According to the subsequent plot of Journey to the West, Tang Seng learned of his life experience from the abbot, went all the way to Jiangzhou for alms, and met his mother Yin Wenjiao.Later, I went to see my grandmother, then transferred to the capital, and reported the news to the prime minister's mansion.When Prime Minister Yin learned what was going on, he was so angry that he went to the emperor to ask for orders, and brought [-] imperial soldiers to Jiangzhou to capture Liu Hong alive.

At this point, Tang Seng's deep revenge has been avenged.With the help of the Dragon King, Chen Guangrui came back to life again.The matter had come to a complete conclusion so far, but the Yin family lady, Tang Seng's mother, committed suicide calmly.

Since then, Tang Seng has devoted himself to Buddhism and has no other thoughts.Preaching and teaching the Fa is no problem.Later, he was selected by Avalokitesvara to go to the West to seek the scriptures as a Buddhist scripture learner.This life has gone through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships, and the kalpas are difficult to complete, and finally become a Buddha.

"The first difficulty is being relegated to a golden cicada, the second is the second difficulty, being thrown into the river at the full moon is the third difficulty, and the fourth difficulty is finding relatives and redressing grievances..." Thinking of the ninety-nine and eighty-one difficulties, Ge Ling unconsciously muttered .But when she reached the fourth difficulty, she suddenly stopped.

"Killing my biological father unjustly, and my biological mother committing suicide, after seeing through the world of mortals, I will naturally have a Buddha in my heart." What Mu Zha said to Guanyin earlier suddenly jumped into Ge Ling's mind.I didn't think about it when I heard it, but now that I think about it, I find that I can't figure it out at all.Killing his biological father unjustly... Wasn't Tang Seng's biological father, Chen Guangrui, killed by Liu Hong a long time ago?

"How long do you plan to stay on the beam?" Xuanzang suddenly said, interrupting Ge Ling's thoughts.Ge Ling came back to his senses, and instantly emptied his mind.She smiled and landed next to Xuanzang, sat on the futon and said, "You know I'm on it?"

Xuanzang didn't look at her, and said, "Be gentler next time when you go to the room."

"Oh..." Ge Ling responded, then turned to look at him after a while and asked, "Elder Fa Ming will tell you about your life experience tomorrow, are you nervous?"

"Not nervous." Xuanzang answered bluntly, which made Ge Ling think it was meaningless.She relaxed her body, shrank her neck and said, "I haven't touched the water all day, and I can't hold it anymore. The fish scales on my body are showing." The golden scales on the chest reflect the golden light by the light of the oil lamp, flashing suddenly.

Xuanzang pushed her hand away and said, "As a fish, you should stay in the water well and don't come out to wander around. If it weren't for me, you would have been caught by that demon catcher today. Who knows whether he will send you home or steam you."

After hearing this, Ge Ling retracted his arm, gave him a blank look and said, "Kneel here by yourself, I'm going back to sleep."

"Well, go back and close the door, and be careful of the wild cats on the mountain." Xuanzang asked earnestly, causing Ge Ling to freeze.Chen Xuanzang was not usually serious, but when he became so serious, she somehow felt overwhelmed.Also because of this occasional serious concern, I felt a sense of steadfastness in my heart for no reason.

Ge Ling didn't respond to him, stood up and stretched his waist, turned around with a warm smile on the corner of his mouth and went out.She had just taken two steps when Xuanzang suddenly turned around and said loudly angrily, "I told you to close the door, did you hear me?"

Ge Ling stopped walking and twitched the corner of his mouth, wondering if he should return to normal so soon.She turned her head and glared at Xuanzang, "Got it."

Seeing her answering, Xuanzang turned around and said casually, "Let's go quickly."

Ge Ling could only curl his lips, and went out of the hall on his own.She crossed the threshold of the hall and walked outside.After going out the door and taking two steps, Ge Ling sharply saw a little novice hiding behind a bush.She wanted to take a closer look, so she walked over, but the little novice suddenly ran away.

Originally, Ge Ling wanted to catch up, but seeing that he was wearing a monk's robe, he didn't think there was any problem.And because the golden scales on his arms became more and more obvious, and his mana was exhausted, he went straight back to Xuanzang's meditation room.She was submerged in the water and felt that she was slowly regaining her strength.

Xuanzang was forced to kneel in the main hall all night, and by the morning he was so sleepy that his mind was dizzy.Because his knees were numb, he tried several times before standing up.He carried water and chopped firewood again, and finished all the things he should do before he dragged his exhausted body back to the meditation room.Because he was extremely sleepy and tired, he fell asleep on the bed after arriving in the meditation room.

When Xuanzang woke up, it was already evening. He rubbed his eyes and got up, stretched long, and said, "Xiao Yu'er, are you feeling better?" After Xuanzang asked, no one asked. answer.He had no choice but to go to the tank, but found that there was nothing in the tank, and Ge Ling was not in it.

"Running out to play by yourself again?" Xuanzang muttered, yawned and turned around, but he didn't take this matter to heart.

Because he had agreed with Elder Faming to go to his place today, Xuanzang took care of himself, adjusted his mental outlook and went to Elder Faming.Thinking that he will know his life experience immediately, and he can untie the knot in his heart that has been in his heart for 18 years, it is a lie that he does not feel uneasy.There is only apprehension left in my heart, it is true.

Xuanzang walked solemnly step by step to Elder Faming's meditation room, without the slightest view of the place he passed by.When he reached Elder Faming's Zen room, he raised his hand and knocked on the door: "Master, this is disciple Xuanzang."

"Come in." After Xuanzang finished speaking, Elder Fa Ming responded from inside.Xuanzang heard the words, pushed the door open and walked in. Elder Faming was meditating on the bed.He heard the sound of the door opening and closing, opened his eyes, looked at Xuanzang and said, "You are here."

Elder Fa Ming got up from the bed and got out of bed after speaking.He walked up to Xuanzang, looked up at Fangliang and said, "The box on the beam, help me take it down."
