Intercept the second disciple

Chapter 346

After Monkey King left, Tang Seng also had some regrets.

Tang Seng said to Zhu Bajie: "Will your senior brother come back? Was the words I just reprimanded your senior brother a bit harsh?"

"I'll be back," Zhu Bajie said, "Besides, it's not a big deal for you to reprimand your apprentice as a master. Besides, Brother Hou will definitely come back."

"Bajie, why are you so sure?" Tang Seng asked.

Zhu Bajie laughed and said: "Because that monkey looks free and easy, but deep down he has always been sincere and sincere. There are not many people he is grateful to in his life, and you must be one, Master."

"He will definitely repay his kindness, and, besides,"

Zhu Bajie whispered: "He only has you as his master now!"

Tang Seng didn't understand what Zhu Bajie said. Tang Seng wanted to ask again, but Zhu Bajie said: "Master, there seems to be a big river ahead, and the yellow sand in the river is rolling. I will ride a horse to find the way for you."

Tang Seng said: "Go, remember to be careful."

Zhu Bajie was riding a white horse, and when he was far away, Zhu Bajie got off the horse and whispered next to the white horse: "You have transformed from a carp into a dragon. You were originally a river dragon king, but now you are willing to be a horse. What are you planning?"

The white horse was shocked, but Zhu Bajie patted the white horse's neck indifferently and said: "Heaven, Buddhism, Jujiao, people, immortals, demons, what have I to do with it?"

Zhu Bajie smiled and said, "I just need to be a pig. Let's go ahead, little white horse. You said that Buddhism uses six senses to test that monkey, so what method will they use to test this pig?"

···
"Master, Sun Wukong's six faculties are impure, I'm afraid he won't be able to become a Buddha." Mu Zha said.On the bright side, Tang Seng and his disciples were traveling west alone, but secretly they followed many Buddhists, and Avalokitesvara, his master and his disciples, followed him all the time.

Both Buddhism and Taoism actually have certain unspoken rules. For example, Taoism can only be regarded as a real Daluo Jinxian if the three flowers on the top are cut off, and Buddhism can only become a Buddha if the six roots are clean.

Avalokitesvara smiled and said: "It's a little troublesome. Although the Buddha can forcibly canonize him as a Buddha, it will definitely attract dissatisfaction. But he can't cut off six roots by himself, so I will cut him off for him."

Mu Zha looked at Avalokitesvara in surprise, and he could cut off six roots for others, why Avalokitesvara never helped him.

Knowing what Mu Zha was thinking, Avalokitesvara said: "Sun Wukong is destined to become a Buddha, not only to set an example for all living beings, but also to be an important pawn in my teaching. As a teacher, I hope that you don't have to beheaded for you in the rest of your life." Six roots, the so-called cutting six roots, is to make him dare not have thoughts that he shouldn't have."

"Tang Seng moved a mountain for him, but I want to send him a prison!"

"Just wait here, I'm going to meet Tang Sanzang."

···
Tang Seng was waiting on the spot, and an elderly mother passed by holding a cotton coat with a flower hat on it.

The old mother went up to Tang Sanzang and asked him about his origins. Tang Sanzang said: "The disciple is the one who received the imperial decree from the Tang Dynasty in the east and went to the west to worship the living Buddha to seek the truth." There is a hundred and eight thousand miles to go here. You are alone, without a partner, and without an apprentice, how can you get there!"

Tang Sanzang: "I have taken in two disciples. The second disciple went to explore the way. The eldest disciple is stubborn and willful. I said a few words to him, but he refused to be taught, and went back to his Huaguo Mountain."

The old mother said: "I have this straight cotton collar and a hat inlaid with gold flowers. It was originally used by my son. He only served as a monk for three days, but unfortunately died shortly. I just went to his temple and cried a lot. I resigned from his master, and brought these two coats and hats as a souvenir. Elder, since you have apprentices, I will give you these coats and hats."

Tang Sanzang said: "Accepting the gift from my mother, but my eldest apprentice has left, and the second apprentice must not be able to wear this hat. I really dare not accept it."

The old mother said: "It's useless for me to keep this, I'd better give it to you, in case your apprentice comes back, give it to him, so as not to make this coat and hat dust."

The old mother said again: "I have another mantra in there, which is called the mantra of reassurance, also known as the mantra of tightness. You can recite it secretly, keep it in your heart, and don't let others know it. It will be of great use in the future."

Hearing this, Sanzang bowed his head in thanks.The old mother suddenly turned into a golden light and went east.Tang Sanzang knew that the old mother was transformed by Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, and Tang Sanzang asked quickly: "Bodhisattva, I have a question. Since the Buddha has the scriptures, why not pass them on to the east with the help of Bodhisattvas? Learn the scriptures one day earlier. , more lives will be saved in the world.”

Avalokitesvara stopped walking and said: "The scriptures should not be passed on lightly, only sincerity can obtain the scriptures."

Tang Sanzang looked up at the bodhisattva, and Tang Sanzang said: "I have another question, in the heart of the Buddha, is it more important to save the common people, or is sincerity more valuable?"

Of course, the flourishing of Buddhism is more valuable, but Avalokitesvara could not tell Tang Sanzang about this matter. Avalokitesvara looked at Tang Sanzang, and for a while she didn't know how to answer.

If you want to learn the Western Scriptures, you must choose someone who has the root of wisdom, but with the root of wisdom, you will definitely think more than others.

Avalokitesvara finally said: "The Buddha's arrangement must be correct. When you go to the West Heaven and meet the Buddha, you will be able to find the answer."

···
Sun Wukong did not return to Huaguo Mountain, which shows that he still has not made up his mind to go back to be his demon king.

The Dragon King of the East China Sea once gave him a weapon and cloak. Sun Wukong had a good impression of the Dragon King of the East China Sea.

Just like when he jumped into the Water Curtain Cave, all the monkeys recognized him as the king. Since he agreed, he, Monkey King, will do it.

In fact, what Sun Wukong wanted was just a step, and Dragon King's persuasion gave Sun Wukong a reason to go back.

Sun Wukong turned somersault back and saw Tang Seng sitting on the side of the road, he stepped forward and said, "Master!"

Tang Sanzang didn't answer, although Sun Wukong didn't want to admit his mistake, but Sun Wukong flattered him and said, "Master, if you're hungry, I'll go and eat with you."

Only then did Tang Sanzang look at Monkey King: "Do you know your mistake?"

wrong?
Sun Wukong seemed to recall the words he asked himself when he was suppressed by burning lamps 500 years ago.

He, Monkey King, does not want to admit his mistakes, it was the same 500 years ago, and it will still be the same 500 years later.

Seeing that Sun Wukong didn't answer, Tang Sanzang said: "Forget it, there's no need for fasting, I still have some dry food in my bag, go and get it out."

Sun Wukong unwrapped the bundle, saw a few rough sesame seed cakes in the middle of the package, took them out and handed them to the master.I also saw the bright cotton collar and the golden flower hat.

Sun Wukong said happily: "Master, I don't see you wearing this hat on weekdays, so why don't you let me forget it?"

Tang Seng nodded, and Sun Wukong happily put on his coat and hat.

The pitiful generation of Monkey King, who once rebelled against the heavens, finally put a magic spell on himself.
