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

◎Huaguo Mountain Blessed Land, Water Curtain Cave and Heaven◎

Although there is an urgent need to learn the scriptures, judging by Lu Wan's appearance, he would never go to Aolai Country with Monkey King, but Ji Tao didn't know the way, so Tang Sanzang hesitated for a moment, and then agreed.In this way, a place for Lu Wan to sleep was arranged, and the four masters, disciples, disciples, and sun also went to rest.

Early the next morning, Ji Tao put all the luggage into the Qiankun bag, Ao Lie took Tang Sanzang, Ji Tao took Lu Wan, and Monkey King opened the way ahead, and they all went to Aolai Country in the east.Although that Tang Sanzang had seen a lot of supernatural powers, it was the first time he stepped on this cloud. His eyes became dizzy, his hands and feet became weak, and he tightly grasped Ao Lie's arm: "Amitabha, you have lived a long life! Now, disciples and grandchildren, don’t you get dizzy when you ride the clouds and fog?”

Ao Lie said: "Master, I was born as a dragon, and I am born with the ability to fly through the clouds and ride the fog."

Sun Wukong heard their conversation, turned back from the front, and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, don't look down, or you will vomit."

Ao Lie looked at Tang Sanzang in horror and said, "Master, master, don't look down!"

Tang Sanzang covered his mouth and closed his eyes obediently.

Seeing Ji Tao, she smiled and said to Tang Sanzang: "Master, you just open your eyes and look ahead. The scenery in the clouds is not bad."

Tang Sanzang chanted the Buddha's name, slowly opened his eyes, and as expected, he didn't feel so nauseous without looking under the clouds. He wiped off his sweat, and grabbed Ao Lie even tighter.

They arrived in Aolai country soon, and after sending Lu Wan back to Lu's house, they went to Huaguo Mountain together.

But I saw that the Huaguo Mountain is full of spring, with a hundred flowers in full bloom, and there are various kinds of melons and fruits, which are bright in color, and there is also the spring water, which is crystal clear, which is like a fairyland on earth.As soon as they arrived on the mountain, a monkey on guard poked its head out. It seemed that it couldn't believe its eyes. The monkey rubbed its eyes vigorously, and then cheered, "Your Majesty! It's Your Majesty who's back!"

Except for Monkey King, Ji Tao and the others were stunned, they never thought that the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain could speak human language!

Tang Sanzang even said: "Could it be that all the monkeys on this mountain have become as smart as Wukong?!"

Ji Tao coughed and said, "I heard from Master that Huaguo Mountain is a cave of blessings, full of aura, and the people on the mountain are all spirit monkeys. It seems that Master taught them after learning the human language."

Just after the monkey on guard finished shouting, a group of monkeys popped up from every corner of the mountain.

Sun Wukong smiled and said, "Boys, my grandson is back to visit you!"

After confirming that he was his king, the monkeys rushed over from all directions and surrounded Monkey King to the center.The spirit monkeys on this mountain originally lived longer than ordinary monkeys, not to mention that Sun Wukong tore up the book of life and death back then, so the monkeys on this mountain escaped from evil and asked for their lives, and they all gained immortality.Even if there are some monkeys who are not born yet, they can often hear about the king's deeds and see the portrait of the king from the elders, so they all know Sun Wukong.

The Monkey King looked at Ji Tao among the monkeys, and found that she, Tang Sanzang, and Ao Lie were squeezed to the side, so he said to the monkeys: "Children, go and serve melons and fruits, and greet the guests!"

The younger monkeys dispersed in a hurry and went to carry the fruit. Several older monkeys were still beside Sun Wukong and asked, "My lord, the living Bodhisattva came to the mountain before and said that you protect the Buddhist monks from the Tang Dynasty to go to the west to learn Buddhist scriptures." After going, why did you bring guests home?"

Sun Wukong thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "You are talking about a living Bodhisattva, but what about Yang Jian and Yang Erlang?"

Yang Jian should be the only one who has been to Huaguo Mountain.

The monkeys repeatedly said yes, but it turned out that Yang Jian was ordered to burn Huaguo Mountain, but he waived the net and saved many monkeys' lives, so the monkeys on Huaguo Mountain called him the Living Bodhisattva.

Sun Wukong understood, and led the monkeys to Ji Tao, and said to them: "My children, this is the man who learns the scriptures, and now he is also my grandson's master. Please treat him kindly. This is the dragon from the West Sea. The third prince, Ao Lie, is now my grandson's younger brother, so you should also treat him well." After finishing speaking, he continued, "This is my apprentice, named Ji Tao, and she took care of me for 500 years in Wuxing Mountain. In the past year, you will respect her as much as you respect me in the future. Do you remember?"

The monkeys booed, some called "Elder Tang", some called "Tang Master", and some called "Third Prince". It was very lively for a while, and surrounded the three of them to the water curtain cave.Sun Wukong said: "Master and younger brother, Taoer, this is the Water Curtain Cave in my Huaguo Mountain. It is the place where the monkeys live in my Huaguo Mountain. I will take you in."

Tang Sanzang was surprised and said: "Wukong, I only see waterfalls here, but I have never seen any water curtain cave."

Sun Wukong said: "Master doesn't know, this Water Curtain Cave is just behind the waterfall."

Tang Sanzang said: "Then...then how do I get in?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Master, this was originally the cave for me and my children. It is easy for us to climb and jump. We just need to jump in and we can enter the Water Curtain Cave. If you are afraid, then I will do it." Bring Tao'er in first, and then ask the younger brother to bring you in."

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, Tang Sanzang agreed.

Along the way, Ji Tao was looking around, only thinking that the scenery of Huaguo Mountain is very beautiful, and all these monkeys are lively and lovely.He was even more delighted to hear Sun Wukong said that he would take him into the Water Curtain Cave at this moment. Looking at him again, he had already reached out to her.Ji Tao smiled and put his hand in his, but he heard Sun Wukong say: "Don't be afraid, I will take you in as a teacher."

Ji Tao only felt his body lighten, not a single drop of water touched his body, and he entered the Water Curtain Cave in the blink of an eye.I saw an iron bridge in the water curtain cave, and there was a stone tablet beside the bridge. On the stone tablet, there was a line of big characters in regular script: Huaguoshan blessed land, water curtain cave and cave sky.I also saw that there were flowers and grass beside the bridge. Looking around, there were pots, pans and pans on the other side of the iron bridge. The cave was so big that I couldn't see the side.

Sun Wukong hooked her finger, blinked at her, and said, "Disciple, how about the Water Curtain Cave as a teacher?"

Ji Tao smiled and said: "Good master, your Water Curtain Cave is really a paradise, a blessed place and a cave, if you are lucky enough to live there for a day, even the gods will not change it."

Monkey King was about to talk to her when Tang Sanzang exclaimed from behind, but it was Ao Lie who brought him in.

Tang Sanzang was a little scared at first, but when he opened his eyes, he found that the Water Curtain Cave was really a good place, so he kept chanting Buddha's name for a while.

Even Ao Lie, who was used to seeing good things, was full of praise: "Brother, you are happier to become a king in such a good place than to become an immortal or a Buddha."

During the conversation, some monkeys entered the Water Curtain Cave again, and some with water on their heads shook their heads to shake off the water drops, many of which landed on Tang Sanzang who couldn't dodge in time.The monkeys who had to prepare melons and fruits earlier shouted at the other end of the iron bridge: "My lord! The melons, fruits and wine are ready!"

"Master, please first." Monkey King made a gesture of invitation by the bridge.

Tang Sanzang coughed lightly, straightened his clothes, and stepped onto the iron bridge.

Monkey King and the other three followed closely behind.

But they said that the melons and fruits prepared by the monkeys were mostly fresh bananas and apples, and some spiritual fruits and spiritual plants that had never been seen in the east.Sun Wukong asked Tang Sanzang to take his seat, and said: "Master, you are tired today, so eat and drink well, and have a good rest in my Shuilian Cave, and tomorrow we will set off westward."

Tang Sanzang said: "But in this way, wouldn't it be a day's work?"

"Even if we go back now, it will be night and we won't be able to go on the road. We might as well recharge our batteries and talk about it tomorrow."

Hearing that what he said was reasonable, Tang Sanzang had no choice but to agree.

But the old monkey at the side said in surprise: "My lord, will you only stay for one day when you come back this time?"

"Don't worry, within three to five years, I will be able to escort my master to the west to obtain the scriptures, and then I will return to Huaguo Mountain and be with the children for a long time."

Having said that, the old monkey still said: "My lord, we have missed you very much during the 500 years of your absence."

Another little monkey interjected: "My lord, when you are not around, there are always monsters bullying us! Although the living Bodhisattva often comes, he only comes once every three or five years. We are pitiful for those monsters to bully us!"

Sun Wukong immediately said angrily: "Who doesn't have eyes, dare to bully my monkey grandchildren! My grandson will kill him right now!"

The old monkey hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, please calm down. When the Living Bodhisattvas came here, they taught them a lesson. I'm afraid they have moved away now."

Tang Sanzang also shook his head and sighed softly.

Seeing that they looked down, Ji Tao quickly took out the jam she made in Wuxing Mountain and the peach blossom wine that Yang Chan sent from her Qiankun bag, and distributed them to the monkeys. She even touched the little monkey's head and said: " Later, I will ask the younger sister of the living Bodhisattva to come to Huaguo Mountain to protect you. If they still dare to come, you can tell them that your king is about to finish reading the scriptures. His lair has been flattened, let them weigh it."

The little monkey was still very young, only the size of a slap. When Ji Tao touched his head, he jumped into Ji Tao's arms and rubbed against Ji Tao affectionately.Sun Wukong patted him on the head, drove him off, and said: "That's right, that's what you said, if there are still people who don't have long eyes, just write down his name, and when my grandson finishes reading the scriptures, Give the little ones justice."

Tang Sanzang on the main seat wanted to say something to them, but he didn't know how to say it.

After all, what they want to kill are monsters, not humans... Forget it, let's eat our own fruit.

In this way, the four of them chatted with the group of monkeys about other things, and enjoyed themselves for a while.

After eating melons and fruits, Sun Wukong took Tang Sanzang and the others to tour Huaguo Mountain again, and when they returned to Shuilian Cave, it was already nighttime, and Tang Sanzang was exhausted, so he went back to his house.Ji Tao made the bed for him, and heard Tang Sanzang say: "Disciple, I feel a little uneasy."

They were alone in the room at the moment, and the door was open.Ji Tao smiled and said: "Master, this is Master's home, just like yours and mine, why do you feel uneasy?"

Tang Sanzang said: "On the Five Elements Mountain that day, I only knew that Wukong was a good monkey loved by the people. When I saw him today, he was actually a majestic monkey king. Such a monkey king is also wearing it because of me. I was very uneasy because I had to suffer and suffer all the way.”

Ji Tao asked him to sit down, and said softly: "Master, don't think so. We have been together for several months. Do you think Master is disrespectful to you? If he has resentment towards you in his heart, he will not I respect you so much. Besides, you are also very kind to me and Master, you are a kind person and deserve our respect."

Tang Sanzang sat on the bed, wiped away his tears, and said, "It would be best if you could think so."

"Master, you are just too tired, don't think so much, take a good rest."

Tang Sanzang nodded, there were still two tear marks on his chubby face, but Ji Tao knew his scruples and never touched his skin, so he comforted him and went out.

When they arrived at the lobby of Shuilian Cave, Ji Tao saw many monkeys coming back one after another, and after seeing Monkey King standing in the lobby, they all went to their respective rooms.The Monkey King was talking to the old monkey, and he would reply to the little monkeys from time to time.Not long after he finished speaking, he walked up to Ji Tao and asked, "Teacher, why don't you go to rest? But the stone bed is uncomfortable?"

"Where are you so delicate? I have experienced all kinds of wind, food and sleep. It is good to have a bed and sleep on it. Why are you picky about the stone bed and white jade bed?" Ji Taojiao said angrily, and then asked, "Master, why don't you go to bed?"

"On Huaguo Mountain, there is a peach tree that grows on the highest point. I used to love watching the stars and the moon on that peach tree." Sun Wukong paused for a moment, then asked Ji Tao, "Do you want to go with me?"

"Okay." Ji Tao agreed without thinking.

With a smile on his face, Sun Wukong pulled her over and said, "Let's go."

Ji Tao soon saw the peach tree that Sun Wukong mentioned. This peach tree grew very large. One day in spring, it was the season when the peach blossoms were in full bloom. When the breeze blew, peach petals fell, and Ji Tao reached out to catch them. After taking a piece, Sun Wukong said: "This peach tree is older than me. It was already very big when I was a little monkey. It should also have enlightened spiritual consciousness now."

Ji Tao listened to Monkey King quietly.

"I remember, when my children and I discovered Shuilian Cave, we traveled to Huaguo Mountain and stayed in Shuilian Cave at night, so we lived happily." Monkey King said, "But later, a monkey died. I just found out, Our life and death are actually recorded in the book of life and death of the King of Hades. It turns out that the life and death of all creatures in the world are determined by such a small book. That night, I sat on the peach tree all night. I couldn't figure it out. "

Ji Tao reached out to take his hand, and looked up at him.

Sun Wukong hooked his lips and said, "You can't see the moon here, let's go to the tree."

After all, he flew up the peach tree with Ji Tao.

Sitting side by side with one person and one monkey, Monkey King touched Ji Tao's head and said, "Teacher, I saw Lu Feng's reincarnation yesterday. I suddenly thought of a sentence he once said to me. He said that I was afraid of being alone, so I stayed behind." You are with me in the Five Elements Mountain. The journey to the west is difficult and dangerous, so you don’t have to suffer. I took you back to Huaguo Mountain today, why don’t you stay in Huaguo Mountain and wait for me to come back.”

Ji Tao immediately shook her head and said, "Master, I am willing to stay by your side. You said that the journey to the west was difficult and dangerous. If I stayed on Huaguo Mountain, how would I know if you were in danger? From now on, I will not If you say to leave you, you are not allowed to say that you want me to leave."

Sun Wukong looked at her sideways and said, "Okay."

Ji Tao hugged his arm happily and said, "Master, you are so majestic today."

Sun Wukong patted her on the head lightly, and said, "When will I lose my prestige as a teacher?"

The two masters and apprentices were talking, but the peach tree who had opened up his spiritual consciousness and became a spirit was covering his mouth with painstaking efforts to prevent himself from making a sound—he died young, what happened to this master and apprentice? !How can there be such a close relationship between master and apprentice?Could it be that he has lived on Huaguo Mountain for hundreds of years and is too ignorant?You can't make a sound by yourself, otherwise the Monkey King will know and he will silence you.This monkey is a corner that the sky dares to poke.

Sun Wukong knew that the peach tree had enlightened consciousness, but he didn't know his inner thoughts.He was talking to Ji Tao, but he didn't get a response from Ji Tao, instead his shoulders sank, but Ji Tao fell asleep leaning on his shoulder.Sun Wukong smiled helplessly, looked sideways, and accidentally saw her chest was white and plump, turned his head away immediately, and after a while, when Ji Tao fell asleep, he picked her up and sent her back to the house asleep.
