[Journey to the West] The 500 Years of Feeding Master

◎My Buddha is merciful, why not save her? ◎

Regarding Tang Sanzang's naive idea, Monkey King sneered and said nothing.Only Ji Tao echoed Tang Sanzang.

The next day, several people continued westward, and Ji Tao tied them up and handed them over to the government amidst the six robbers beckoning in gratitude.The lord of the government saw a black cloud flashing past, and there were six more weeping big men in front of his eyes, claiming to be robbers, and begging the lord to put them in prison.

The Fujun said angrily: "Where did the unruly people come from, dare to play tricks on this official?! If you talk nonsense again, believe it or not, this official will ask someone to beat you out!"

The leader fell to the ground and told where he fell into the grass and what evil things he had done, and finally said: "Your Majesty, I dare not lie to you, the one who caught me was a bird The monkey monster with the cat face and thunder mouth, the most terrifying thing is the monk who can recite sutras..."

The Fujun was dubious, but the evil things they said were true, so he ordered them to be imprisoned, and sent yamen servants to check the facts.

But it is said that Ji Tao learned the ability to soar through the clouds and ride the fog a long time ago. Although he is not as good as Monkey King's somersaulting clouds, he can travel around the Cangwu in the North Sea in one day.She escorted the six thieves to the nearby government office, so it took an hour to go back and forth.When she came back, seeing Tang Sanzang dismounting to rest, she said to Sun Wukong: "Master, you can't eat the dry food in the bag, but there are some fruits in the Qiankun bag. It's just that the weather is too cold. I'm afraid Master is not used to eating it. Let's go to the front and find someone to prepare some vegetarian food."

Sun Wukong said to her: "Let me go. You have just come back, so go and take care of your master. Don't bother."

Ji Tao was indeed a little tired, so he agreed with Monkey King.

After Monkey King left, Ji Tao lit a fire for Tang Sanzang, and asked again: "Master, do you want some water?"

Tang Sanzang was about to answer, but saw an old woman holding a bamboo basket walking from the forest.We met face to face, and the three of them saluted. The old woman looked Ji Tao up and down, and said with a smile: "Elder, you said that you are a monk from the Eastern Tang Dynasty who went to the Western Heaven to worship Buddha and seek scriptures. A young woman?"

Knowing that he was misunderstood, Tang Sanzang quickly explained: "The female benefactor doesn't know something. This is the grandson of the poor monk. He was originally a disciple accepted by my apprentice 500 years ago, so he went on the road with us."

"Oh? As the elder's disciple and grandson, he is also a member of the Shamen, but why is he acting like a layman? It is inevitable that people will misunderstand him."

When the two of them were talking, Ji Tao was listening quietly.In this barren mountain, an old woman suddenly appeared, and Ji Tao became a little vigilant.But there was no evil spirit in this woman, instead there was spiritual energy surging continuously, Ji Tao knew that this old woman must be some god and Buddha who was concerned about the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures.She explained on behalf of Tang Sanzang: "Old man, the little girl is ashamed, and this dress is a gift from the common people. When she sees the market, she must buy monk clothes and shoes. If necessary, the little girl is willing to shave her hair to become a nun, or Turned into a man. I have never been separated from my master for 500 years, I beg the old man to forgive me and allow me to go west with my master."

The old woman showed compassion, and said with a smile, "Amitabha, you are enlightened. It's just a pity, you are destined to have no fate with my Buddha."

As the old woman spoke, she showed her true nature, but she was the master Guanyin.

Tang Sanzang quickly knelt down to worship the Bodhisattva, and Ji Tao also knelt beside him.

The Bodhisattva got the two of them up, and said to Ji Tao, "Ji Tao, the journey to the west is dangerous, even if you help his master and apprentice to get the scriptures to the west, Buddhism still cannot accept you. Why do you have to follow all the way?"

"Bodhisattva, you are merciful and merciful. My little girl does not seek the right fruit, but only wants to take care of the master all the way."

"That monkey is beyond the Three Realms and not in the Five Elements. It is capable of all things, and you don't need to take care of it. They have to go through ninety-nine and eighty-one hardships on this journey before they can achieve a positive result. The six robbers who were named yesterday were happy with their eyes and angry with their ears." , sniffing love, tongue tasting thinking, desire for opinions, and worrying about the body, they should have died under the stick of monkeys, but because of you, this karma has not ended. If you continue to travel westward with his master and apprentice, you will only I’m afraid I’ll miss the great cause of learning the scriptures.”

Ji Tao froze in place, not knowing what to say for a while.

Tang Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name and said, "Bodhisattva, those six robbers didn't hurt us at all. If we rashly took their lives, wouldn't it be very good? Besides, all living beings are equal, just... Since Xiaotao is sincerely going to the Western Paradise, my Buddha is merciful. , why not save her?"

Ji Tao also looked at Bodhisattva with doubts in his eyes.

Just at that time, Monkey King came back with the fast meal and saw Avalokitesvara was there, so he said, "Bodhisattva, why are you here?" Seeing that Ji Tao and Tang Sanzang's faces were not right, he asked Avalokitesvara, "Bodhisattva, you are the Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva of the South China Sea." , you won’t take advantage of my grandson’s absence to bully my master and my apprentice?”

Avalokitesvara smiled helplessly and said, "You splashing monkey, you have been under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years, and you are still so poor-tongued."

Sun Wukong smiled, and only asked Ji Tao: "Disciple, the Bodhisattva is also reasonable, if she really bullies you and your master, just tell me, I am a talkative and talkative monkey, and I have to keep my face on the left and right." Ask the Bodhisattva for an explanation."

Ji Tao hurriedly said: "Master, how could the Bodhisattva bully me and Master. That is, the Bodhisattva said that I have no destiny with Buddha, and would not let me go west with you and Master."

As soon as Sun Wukong heard this, he protected Ji Tao behind him, and said to Guanyin Bodhisattva: "Bodhisattva, don't forget that the old sun promised you to protect Master from the west to learn scriptures, but he promised that after taking the scriptures, there will be no difference between the two." I owe it to you, I don’t want to do anything, I just want to go back to Huaguo Mountain and be my happy Monkey King. What does it matter if my apprentice has a relationship with Buddha or not?”

"If she goes west with you, there will be endless calamities in the future." Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva was not annoyed at all, but said, "This poor monk did this for your own good."

Hearing this, Monkey King hesitated just now.

Ji Tao hesitated and said: "But Master, we have agreed that we will go to the Western Paradise to learn scriptures together. If I leave you, I don't know where I will go..."

Sun Wukong gritted his teeth and said: "Bodhisattva, my disciple has been by my side for 500 years and has never left me. If she lives alone, my grandson will be worried about her and cannot get this scripture!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva let out a long sigh, and said, "Monkey, you insist on asking her to go with you, but it's not impossible. It's just that I have a tight band here, and you have to wear it."

But seeing that the Bodhisattva took out an object, it was a circle like a golden thread, judging from its size, it should be worn on the head.

Sun Wukong sneered and said, "What? Are you afraid that my grandson will make trouble in the Heavenly Palace again?"

The Bodhisattva said: "When you finish protecting Xuanzang and taking the scriptures, I will take the tight band away. If you want Ji Tao to go with you, just put on the tight band."

Sun Wukong is holding the golden cudgel with great strength and his joints are clearly visible.He narrowed his eyes and said, "Threat my grandson, this scripture, grandson doesn't care if he doesn't take it!"

The Bodhisattva only chanted the Buddha's name, and said: "500 years ago, you made a big disturbance in the heavenly palace, and your monkeys and grandchildren in Huaguo Mountain were killed and injured countless times. Could it be that you want them and Ji Tao to repeat the same mistakes again? Monkey, I believe you mean what you say." Believe me, the tight band is here, you can wear it or not, it's up to you."

Tang Sanzang said at a loss: "Bodhisattva, when I rescued Wukong from the Five Elements Mountain, I saw that the people at the foot of the mountain respected him very much. I think he has changed his past now and will not do such stupid things again. Or don't wear it."

The Bodhisattva smiled but said nothing, with a compassionate face.

Sun Wukong hooked the corner of his mouth, waved the golden cudgel, put it back in his ear, reached for the tight hoop, and said, "Isn't it just a circle? My grandson was crushed under the Five Elements Mountain for 500 years." , do you still care about being circled for another three to five years?"

Sun Wukong's hands warmed up, but it was Ji Tao who held his hand. She said, "Master, I won't accompany you and Master. I'm going to Huaguo Mountain. I'll wait for you to come back." Then she said to Guanyin Bodhisattva, "Bodhisattva, does it mean that if I don't go, my master won't need to wear a tight band?"

"Amitabha, if you don't go, he doesn't have to wear it today, but he is wild and unruly. If he disrespects Xuanzang in the future, he still has to wear it."

Sun Wukong pulled back Ji Tao's hand, took the tight band with the other hand, put it on his head, and said with a sneer, "Silly boy, it's a great mercy from the Buddha to give you some advice, whether you understand it or not It all depends on your own understanding. As for your life and death, they don't want to be involved in their own karma. I don't wear this tight band today. In the future, they will coax or lie to me, and they will tell me to wear it. How about My grandson wears it himself."

As soon as the tight hoop touched the flesh, it pierced into the head like a root. Monkey King gritted his teeth and endured the pain.

On the other side, the Bodhisattva saw that he put on the tight band obediently, and called Tang Sanzang to pass on the tight band mantra to him.

As they read it over there, Sun Wukong's head started to hurt, and he only endured it for a moment, then he rolled all over the ground in pain, his ears were red and his eyes were red!When Ji Tao saw her, she cried and called Master again, knelt down in front of the Bodhisattva, and begged for mercy: "Bodhisattva, don't chant, please don't chant, I won't go to the West Paradise, I won't go, please Don't read it..."

The Bodhisattva stopped, and Sun Wukong really didn't feel the pain anymore, lying on the ground panting, Ji Tao rushed over and touched him lightly: "Master, how are you? How are you?"

The Bodhisattva over there asked Tang Sanzang: "Xuanzang, do you remember this curse?"

Tang Sanzang looked at Monkey King, and said after a long time: "... I remember everything I heard."

The Bodhisattva nodded, and came to Ji Tao again, sighing helplessly: "Ji Tao, you can go west with them, but you must remember not to meddle in their affairs. Once you miss the great cause of learning the scriptures, you will have endless guilt. Amitabha."

After finishing speaking, the Bodhisattva left in the clouds.

Then Tang Sanzang also walked up to Ji Tao's master and apprentice, looked at Monkey King, and said, "Why are you so stupid, why did you wear it? Maybe if you ask the Bodhisattva again, you don't need to wear it."

Ji Taohong asked him with eyes wide open: "Master, you won't really recite the curse to my master in the future, will you?"

Tang Sanzang lowered his eyes and wanted to cry again: "When Bodhisattva Bodhisattva Shicai taught me, Wukong screamed at the side. I couldn't bear to hear it. I only listened to it intermittently, and it was not complete. Monks don't lie, but I answered Bodhisattva like that. ... woo..."
