In the Heavens

Guanyin Bodhisattva did not panic when he failed to put a magic spell on Sun Wukong's head as planned. Since the establishment of the great prosperity of Buddhism, the accidents have not happened once or twice, and the ability to withstand them will increase as the number of times increases.

After listening to the report of the five directions, Guanyin Bodhisattva shook his head secretly. Her intuition told her that Sun Wukong's six roots might not be able to be cut off.

This kind of thing can't be brought to the table. If you trace the root cause, it will be the blame of Buddhism itself. Knowing that the son of luck is not easy to fool, but he made a mistake when he performed his calculations, who can be blamed for this?

Now Sun Wukong has an obsession in his heart, and if he doesn't untie this knot, he will never be able to truly embrace Buddhism. It's just that this matter involves a saint, and it's hard for Guanyin to say anything.

At this point, Avalokitesvara no longer expects to get much merit from Journey to the West. As long as there are no problems with the scripture learning team and they finish the westward journey honestly, she will be content.

Obviously, this is also a luxury. Among the westward pilgrimage team, except for Tang Sanzang who is a direct descendant of Buddhism, the rest are not very interested in Buddhism.

Relatively speaking, Sun Wukong's performance at the moment is already considered good. At least on the issue of escorting Tang Sanzang to the west, he did his due diligence. .

It's just a small problem if you don't start killing and robbery. Although it cannot eliminate dissidents for Buddhism, looking at it from another perspective, this is actually a kind of propaganda for Buddhism's compassionate thought.

As a mount, Xiaobailong has no right to speak in the scripture learning team, so it can be ignored for now. As for the other two, Guanyin Bodhisattva has no hope at all.

Daomen and Tianting have sent people over, which in itself has the meaning of tearing down the stage. Maybe they dare not make it too obvious, but it is inevitable to hold back.

What Guanyin Bodhisattva is most worried about is that Sun Wukong will get mixed up with them. At that time, in the situation of three to one, Tang Sanzang may not be able to bear it.

Thinking of this, Avalokitesvara immediately decided to beat the other two Buddhist scriptures who had not yet joined the team. As for Monkey King who has already joined, he is not like a monkey anymore, and there is really no reason to beat him.

Time passed day by day, and the path of learning scriptures that shrunk to an inch was used, and there were only one hundred and eight thousand miles left. With the speed of hundreds of miles traveled by Tang monk and his disciples every day, he should have arrived soon, but there were many demons and ghosts on the way. .

Different from Monkey King's outstanding performance in the original book, Monkey Head is just a slicker at work.

When encountering monsters and ghosts, I pretended not to see them, and every time I waited until Tang Sanzang was captured, I yelled: "Master, I was captured by monsters!"

It's nothing more than a slow reaction, every time I have to find out all the origins of the monsters, and then I will take a slow shot. A symbolic fight with the demon, regardless of whether he can take it down independently, turned around and ran to the heaven to rescue soldiers.

Naturally, the effect is great. Everyone is worried that there is no way to share the merits of Journey to the West. The gods of heaven are naturally very active when the opportunity comes to their door.

After going back and forth, Sun Wukong's popularity in the heavenly court was rising at a speed visible to the naked eye, and friends were flying all over the sky for a while.

It's easy to travel if you have more friends. There are so many gods in Heaven, and there are always a few who are strong in the background and willing to show loyalty.

The more he knew, the less Sun Wukong cared about going west to learn Buddhist scriptures. They are all pre-arranged scripts, so why bother to fight to the death when you can dabble in fish?

If you accidentally kill the mount or boy of some god, wouldn't you offend someone again! It's fine if you offend people for other things, but to offend people for his own Buddhism, Monkey King always feels that he is at a loss.

Sun Wukong is already salty, and Zhu Bajie, who was added later, is even an old fritter.

Sha Wujing seemed honest and willing to work, but in fact he did nothing. The work of carrying luggage is just to fool Tang Sanzang, and it is nothing to any person in the immortal way.

The pilgrimage team, which seemed to be full of laughter, was completely lifeless in Li Mu's view. Except for Tang Sanzang, who was kept in the dark, who was still struggling to learn from the scriptures, the rest of them were all making fun, deliberately letting the great masters of the three realms see the jokes of Buddhism.

Idle is also idle, Li Mu has not forgotten the nine difficult tests he agreed with Buddhism. Immediately summoned the three heavenly generals who were guarding the gate and said: "The sutra learners have already crossed the Liusha River, and the three of you will set up a disaster in the lower realm.

This thing is given to you, let's use this little game as a template to test the wisdom of the learners.

Remember, Tang Sanzang is only allowed to complete it independently. If anyone dares to intervene, don't be polite! "

Confidence stems from strength. The deity proved the Hunyuan in the Xuanhuang world, and the avatar also gained a lot of benefits. The most obvious thing is that the upper limit that restricts the avatar's cultivation has increased.

With the confidence to make things happen, Li Mu doesn't mind making Journey to the West more chaotic. Anyway, the test of the nine catastrophes was agreed with Buddhism, and I just acted according to the agreement.

It's just a small game to test the wisdom of Buddhist scriptures, and it won't hurt Tang Sanzang's life, so it's not worth mentioning at all.

While speaking, Li Mu had already poured the rules of the game into the minds of the three of them. Immediately, with a big wave of his hand, the three of them were sent to the only way for Buddhist learners, and a cottage that fell from the sky was also presented as a gift.

Now that the King of the Mountain is here, the little ones are naturally indispensable. The little monsters and mobs were too careless, so Li Mu simply threw a team of heavenly soldiers into the lower realm to make up the numbers.

Looking at the dilapidated cottage in front of him, the leading general in white said helplessly: "The patriarch has an order, let us set up a catastrophe here to test the learners, everyone should change it a bit!"

All the heavenly soldiers and generals looked at each other, and instantly realized something was wrong. What they were going to play was bandits, and the costumes of the Heavenly Soldiers and Generals were obviously inappropriate.

The three celestial generals who were highly cultivated were okay, and they turned into the king of the mountain in an instant, but the performance of the celestial soldiers was far worse.

Although the clothes on his body have changed, the temperament hidden deep in his heart can't be concealed no matter what.

Wang An, the heavenly general in white who turned into a king of the mountain, was very dissatisfied with this, but he still didn't speak up to reprimand him. It is too embarrassing to expect ordinary heavenly soldiers to be proficient in the art of transformation.

Anyway, it's all acting, just fooling Tang Sanzang is enough. In the eyes of other people, even if it's a fake, no one would foolishly jump out and expose it.

"Which one of you has experience as a bandit?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Wang An regretted it. Those who can show up here to make meritorious deeds are all direct disciples of the martial arts lineage, and all of them are masters of innocent background, so how could they become bandits.

It doesn't matter if you haven't been a bandit before, everything starts from scratch, and now it's too late to start self-study.

Casting a magic spell, he glanced at the location of the pilgrimage team. Under the leadership of the three "Kings of Yamashiro", a group of well-trained bandits armed with various weapons began to engage in business without money.

In fact, I just yelled twice when I had nothing to do, so as to adapt to the environment in advance.

After all, there is not a single family in this area for hundreds of miles, and it is not the main road that business travelers must pass through, so there is no one to "rob" at all.

It's not even the only way for the Buddhist scriptures team to pass through. The Buddhist scriptures will come to the door, because Li Mu has cast a spell, no matter which direction they go, they will end up in the cottage.

The quartet of Buddhist scriptures who didn't know that the trouble had come again was moving forward in close cooperation.

Sun Wukong opened the way ahead, Zhu Bajie was in charge of sending horses to follow, and Sha Wujing was carrying the burden in the rear. Tang Sanzang, the only leader, sat on the horseback without hesitation.

Fortunately Tang Sanzang sat on a white dragon horse, otherwise the horse's hooves would have been ruined if he ran around in the mountains and forests all day long.

The sky gradually dimmed, and the cottage loomed in Tang Sanzang's eyes. As for Monkey King, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing, they tacitly chose not to see them.

Experience tells them that this is trouble again. It's impossible to avoid it, how can they, little pawns, be able to break free from the layout of the big shots?

"Apprentices, it's getting late now, and there seems to be someone in front of us, why don't we stay overnight, have a fast meal, and go on the road tomorrow morning?"

Unlike the three apprentices who are fierce and fierce, Tang Sanzang is really tired. Although Ryoma was very stable, he was still very tired from sitting on the horse all day in his mortal body.

It has been a year since the start of the Tang Dynasty, and Tang Sanzang's perseverance is already extraordinary to be able to persist for such a long time.

As soon as Tang Seng's words fell to the ground, Zhu Bajie at the side quickly echoed: "Master, what you said is true!

After running around for more than half a month, I haven't had a full meal. My old pig is almost starving and thin. I really need to find a place to have a vegetarian meal and have a full meal. "

Obviously, Zhu Bajie is the one who knows Tang Sanzang's thoughts best and speaks out for him.

Sleeping in the open air for half a month is not a problem at all for a few people with cultivation bases, but for Tang Sanzang, it is a steady pressure.

Especially when Sun Wukong was passive and sabotage, Tang Sanzang could only satisfy his hunger with wild fruits. Every time he wanted to complain, he was beaten back by a few apprentices who said there was no one in a radius of a hundred miles.

Every time it is proposed to ask the apprentice to go to a farther place for fasting, the classic quotations of Guanyin Bodhisattva will be brought out: the road to the west must be one step at a time, and no shortcuts can be taken.

When it comes to the great cause of learning Buddhist scriptures, Tang Sanzang can only hold his nose and admit it. Therefore, every time he sees that there are people who can do fasting, he will be very excited.

Proceeding all the way along the mountain path, Tang Seng and his disciples came straight to the gate of the village. There was still a plaque that was about to fall in front of the gate of the village, with three large characters engraved on it.

The bouncing Monkey King suddenly ran up to Tang San's hiding place, pretending to be illiterate and asked: "Master, you are very knowledgeable, please see what is written on it?"

Following Sun Wukong's guidance, Tang Sanzang said sternly: "It says Mahjong Village, do you know what this means?"

As soon as the words fell to the ground, before Monkey King and the others could answer, a group of bandits with sharp knives rushed out suddenly, and surrounded Tang Monk, master and apprentice in the center.

Even though he was used to big scenes, Tang Sanzang was still taken aback. The only thing that made him feel relieved was that what he met was a human being, not a hideous monster.

"My lords, the poor monks and apprentices are monks from the Tang Dynasty in the east, who want to go to the Lingshan Mountain of the West Heaven to worship Buddha and obtain the scriptures. They really don't bring any wealth.

It's getting late today, and the sight is not clear. I'm really sorry to disturb everyone's rest by straying into the treasure land. Please also ask everyone to be Haihan! "

Tang Sanzang, who didn't want to cause trouble, tried his best to persuade him. He tried in vain to persuade the bandits in front of him to give up with his three-inch tongue.

"Easy to say! Easy to say!"

"My lord is not an unreasonable person. Although we have become bandits today, our brothers are not vicious people. Every time we come out to rob, we only rob the heinous people.

Judging by your appearance, you are not a big treacherous person. Logically speaking, when we meet you poor and unlucky monks, we shouldn't embarrass you.

But today you plunged into our stockade, if you leave without leaving anything, how can we brothers hang around on the green forest road?

Look at this, my lord is in a good mood today, so I won't make things difficult for you. Just leave some things as road money, and let you master and apprentice go there! "

Such a civilized robbery directly caused Tang Sanzang to be in a dilemma, and he directly set his sights on several apprentices.

The witty Zhu Bajie answered first: "Master, we really don't have any property to keep. How about letting Brother Monkey go out and pick some wild fruits and come back, and give it to the kings as road money?"

After hearing this, the atmosphere on the field suddenly became tense. Even Tang Sanzang himself felt that it was too much, let alone the heavenly soldiers and generals who turned into bandits.

"snort!"

After a cold drink, the general in white, who turned into a middle-aged man, took a step forward and said: "My lord sees that you are toasting and don't eat, you want to eat a fine wine!

I have given you a way of life, but you still don’t know how to cherish it, and dare to use wild fruits to amuse our brothers, even sending beggars is not so perfunctory.

Could it be that the knife in our hand is not good? "

Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang hurriedly said: "My lord, calm down, calm down! This poor monk's apprentice can't speak, so don't take it to heart.

It’s just that I was in a hurry when I went out, I didn’t bring any money with me, I really didn’t have anything to leave behind, and I still had a lot of money for His Majesty, let me wait for the master and apprentice to go there, and when I get the scriptures and come back..."

Before Tang Sanzang could finish speaking, Du Yuan, who had turned into the second in command, suddenly said, "Brother, although these bald donkeys are annoying, they are not really evil people, and they are not our target of robbery.

Judging by his attire, a white horse is worth a few taels of silver. But with the appearance of this monk's delicate skin and tender flesh, if there is no white horse as a mount, it is estimated that he will not be able to reach the Western Paradise.

Otherwise, do a good deed today and let them go. As for the face issue on the Green Forest Road, as long as everyone doesn't talk about it, no one will know. "

Hearing the words of the second leader, Tang Sanzang was almost moved. Unexpectedly, there are also good people among the bandits, who can understand his journey westward to learn Buddhist scriptures.

"Hearing what you said, it's not impossible to let them go, but the brothers can't work in vain. How about it, then follow the rules of our mahjong village.

Monk Wuna, please get off your horse and play a little game with us brothers. As long as you can beat our brother, then we are friends.

Not only let you go, but also entertain you with good wine and food, and give you a gift. "

While talking, the younger brother who was already alive and well lit the lamps in the village, and brought in tables, chairs and benches, on which were placed four long dragons composed of 108 small squares.

Seeing this scene, Tang Sanzang was instantly dumbfounded. He had never seen the game in front of him, let alone wanted to play it.

In desperation, Tang Sanzang immediately asked several apprentices: "Apprentices, who of you has played this game before?"

Seeing no one answered, Tang Sanzang directly called out his name: "Wukong!"

"Master, let the idiot go!

He often brags that he has seen all the fun and delicious things in the heaven. It's just a small game in the mortal world, even if you think about it, you won't think about it! "

It wasn't that Sun Wukong deliberately deceived Zhu Bajie, it was because he saw through the background of these people at a glance. Knowing that these guys in front of him are not easy to mess with, it is natural not to jump out rashly and make trouble.

"Pohou, don't fight fire here! Master, don't listen to this monkey's nonsense, I have never seen this game before, how do I know how to play it!"

Zhu Bajie immediately retorted.

As a third-generation disciple of the Renjiao, after spending so long in the Heavenly Court, Zhu Bajie understands a lot more information than Monkey King.

Knowing that this was a catastrophe set by his own family, it was too late for him to hide aside and watch the excitement, so how could he take the initiative to join in.

"Monk Wu Na with a white face, come here quickly! Don't push and block.

As far as your three apprentices are concerned, one is uglier than the other, and staying in the temple to guard the house can still ward off evil spirits, but bringing them out is purely disgusting.

Fortunately, I met our brothers who are courageous and not afraid of these things. If we meet ordinary people who are timid, we must be scared out of trouble.

At that time, the family members of the family will come to you to seek compensation, and see how you, a poor monk, end up! "
