[Journey to the West] So I am Monk Tang

I am 16 years old and already one of the signatures of Jinshan Temple.

As I said before, my Master Fa Ming became famous after the spider spirit incident, and as his disciple, I also became famous.My Master Fa Ming is an upright person, so of course he would not be greedy for my credit, but I think that I am small and weak, even if it is spread that I have beaten the spider spirit back to its original form, I am afraid that the news will not be as hot as it is now Fire, on the contrary, will arouse suspicion.Just like in a hospital, a young man would always be asked endlessly to make a diagnosis, and he would express his distrust. If a white-bearded grandfather came out, even if he sent him away with a few words, no one would raise any objections.This is related to the business volume of Jinshan Temple and my standard of living. Therefore, I am very happy to be an unsung hero hidden behind the scenes.

Of course, this statement cannot convince Master Fa Ming, I can only sincerely say that all I have learned comes from him, and I dare not forget my origin.But Master Fa Ming thought about it, and felt that I was too young to show off too much, so he acquiesced that he was the one who subdued the spider spirit.

I think this can be another proof that I am not Monk Tang.Monk Tang wants to have my ability. On the way to learn scriptures, will he be caught by goblins every three days and prepare to eat meat?

Back to the topic.

There are not as many monsters doing evil in this world as I imagined. At least, after the spider spirit, although I went out with Master Fa Ming to do many rituals, I never met a second one.But this did not damage the prestige of my master Faming, but made his reputation bigger and bigger.

To be honest, we didn't do much.

The child is frightened and crying?Just touch your head and read a passage of scriptures; the elderly at home suffer from insomnia and palpitations?Just hold hands and read a passage of scriptures; there are always people walking and opening the door at night, but no one?Just stay in the yard in the middle of the night and recite a sutra...

I found that Master Fa Ming's half-volume fragments of scriptures are almost omnipotent.

The most bizarre one was when an old man in a wealthy merchant passed away, but he couldn’t close his eyes. Master Faming and I went to continue chanting. That night, the head of the house had a dream. In the dream, his old man His father bid him farewell reluctantly, told him the location of the small treasury that he had not had time to tell before he hid himself, and said, thanks to the master invited by the family, otherwise if he brought this secret into the coffin, he would That is the real death.When the family woke up in the morning and went to visit the old father in the mourning hall, they found that the eyes of the old father, which could not be closed no matter what they tried to do before, had been closed, and the expression of unwillingness that had been frozen on his face had also changed. The whole person was peaceful and peaceful. Go without care.Later, when the family found the small treasury at the place that the old father had told me about in the dream, they generously donated a sum to Jinshan Temple.

This is how the prestige of me and my Master Faming was built up.

In addition, I have developed a new business.

Although my knowledge of literature and history is poor, but I have good hands-on ability. I think I was also a small handicraft expert in the School of Vehicles, and the models I made were all good.Of course, with limited conditions and limited tools, I can only try to be as concise as possible.

I made an amulet.

It is made of wood, with Buddha statues carved on it, or a few Sanskrit words engraved on it, and Buddhist patterns are decorated on the side.It can be worn on the body, not only as an ornament, but also to ward off evil spirits and keep safe—at least there is a psychological comfort.

I observed it, and there was no such thing in Jinshan Temple before, nor in several nearby temples.At the beginning, I wasn't sure if it would be accepted, but I just made a few dollars and gave it to the children or weak people in the family when I went out to do errands. People want to have more, even those who have nothing to do at home.

Master Uncle Fahai, who just took over the throne not long after Jinshan Temple presides, discussed this matter with me and decided to treat it as a new business in the temple.I can carve so many amulets by myself. His plan is to let other people in the temple do this work, and then bring them to me, so that I can chant scriptures and consecrate them.

Well, Uncle Fahai is very discerning and knows the reason why those amulets are effective.

Compared with the rigidity of the previous host, Uncle Fa Hai is obviously a marketing genius.

I feel a little pity for the white lady, if she moves her heart at this time, she will definitely not be exposed and suppressed indiscriminately, maybe I, Master Fahai, will figure out the cause and effect and shape her into an auspicious person to attract incense.

A pity, a pity.

My position in Jinshan Temple gradually stabilized and rose steadily.

Originally, I planned to formally become a monk when I was 16 years old, but Master Fa Ming told me to wait a little longer, saying that I still have unfinished karma, and I will talk about everything when it comes.

I am very unconvinced, I have finished my work plan for the next ten years, and now I have not formally ordained, how much will this delay?

unhappy.

The principle that time is money does not make sense with Master Fa Ming.

I will not speak.

That is my master, and I respect the elders very much.

However, when my heart sprouted, I was really grateful to Master Faming. Did he reject me because of the fact that I was a red luan?This really saves a lot of trouble, because now I can grow my hair and return to the world at any time.Once you become an official monk, there are always some troubles in the procedure, and it will cause criticism.

Cough, even though I once determined to go all the way on the road of a monk, and vowed to become a footnote in a certain book, and made a work plan for the next ten years, the magic power of love can burn everything, and I suddenly feel that I will go down the mountain to get married and have children It is not bad to take root in Datang.For this reason, I also specially calculated the small coffers I have accumulated over the past few years, and I will definitely be able to settle down in a not-so-bad area in the county town.

When I met her, I was looking for monkeys in the temple.

It was a baby monkey just one month old. Its original owner was a monkey juggler in a circus troupe. This circus troupe traveled all over the world to perform, but something happened here in Jiangzhou.I don't know which plague god I met, but it was caught in a fire. The monkey player was severely burned, and the hospital couldn't do anything. In the end, I don't know who gave the idea to the circus troupe. They moved him to Jinshan Temple up.A female monkey who was also burned was also left behind, and then the head of the circus troupe left a little silver, and left with other healthy monkeys and people who were safe.The monkey man didn't last long, and passed away in pain due to severe burns and infection. Two days later, the female monkey, which was burnt to the point of losing all hair, gave birth to a baby monkey screaming, and died not long after.

I took the lead, took care of the funeral, and then took the little monkey as my own, and dragged it so hard that it could run around the temple.

How do you say a word?

Looking back suddenly, the man was in a dimly lit place.

It was sunny and clear at that time, but when I saw the girl who was holding the little monkey in her arms and giving it fruit with a gentle expression on her face, I unexpectedly felt my heart beating.

When the girl saw me, she seemed a little at a loss, with a little shyness on her face.This is by no means self-indulgent, but she told me when we were in love later.I actually know who this girl is. Since her family worshiped Buddha here and then went back to give birth to a son, every year, the mistress of the family will take her daughter and son to live in the temple for a while, donating money and materials without any ambiguity. Especially pious.Not to mention, almost all of my clothes after the age of eight are made by this family, and I have a special affection for this family.

I can still manage to live in it, no matter whether I am a monk or not, but others assume that I am a member of Jinshan Temple. If I have entanglements with the daughter of the pilgrim, the reputation of Jinshan Temple will be ruined.I think I am very rational, and I don't seem to be overwhelmed by emotion.

At most, he just deliberately put the little monkey in the small courtyard over there, and then took the opportunity of looking for the little monkey to meet people.

The girl was ingenious, and in less than two days, she cut out a new dress for the little monkey. I was a little embarrassed to find out.

At that time, I didn't know how I was so clever. I could tell from the stitches that the clothes on my body and the monkey's new clothes were from the same person.

Sometimes silence is better than sound, and I got a girlfriend.

I knew I was good-looking, but I didn't know it. Before I knew it, there was already a little girl who silently liked me and quietly cut clothes for me.I suddenly felt that I found out too late, and thought that my clothes were all cut by the family.

Master Fa Ming will not prevent me from returning to the secular world. The parents of the girl’s family have long understood their daughter’s intentions, and they have figured out my bottom line. They think I am not bad.

Love comes too fast, like a tornado.

I silently took off my monk's robe and put on a long robe. My hair was no longer shaved clean, but let it grow freely.I didn't think I was weird when I was wearing hair inches before, but now I just hope that my hair can grow faster, otherwise I won't be able to resist buying a wig.

The little monkey became a chance for me to make love with my sweetheart. When I was with her, we chatted, and finally we talked about naming the little monkey.Each of us picked several, and humbly thought that the other's name was better.

The little monkey was finally named Gohan. I chose the name, but it was decided by my sweetheart, because she said that the little monkey is the cutest when it is eating.

I was happy for a while, and directly said that the rest of the names can be left to our children.

Then I was beaten off by my shy sweetheart.

Alas, in modern times, I think getting married at the age of 20 is too early to raise eyebrows.But now, I think, is it too late to wait until my sweetheart is 16?

This must be affected by the environment, I am not in a hurry.

Well, I'm just in a hurry, don't accept it and bite me.

After I bought the house that I was satisfied with, I watched people tidy it up every day, and exchanged opinions with my sweetheart from time to time. After all, it is our future home, and of course it should be according to our preferences.Every night, I lie in bed and I can't help but laugh out loud at the thought of my future life.

When I thought that I would spend my life peacefully and happily in the future, my sweetheart drowned to save my younger brother who accidentally fell into the lotus pond.

a bolt from the blue.

I stood in front of her grave with our monkey son Gohan for three days, and three days later, I returned to Jinshan Temple.

"Master, I want to become a monk."
