The First Disciple of the Intercepting Sect

Chapter 256

Xuanzang's journey to learn Buddhist scriptures alone started smoothly. Following the official road built by the Tang Dynasty, Xuanzang traveled all the way west, and soon came to the border area of ​​the Tang Dynasty.When you get here, it's no longer a flat river, but rolling mountains and dense forests, it's not so easy to go.

Xuanzang had delicate skin and tender flesh, and his body was weak. Although he had suffered a lot in Jinshan Temple, compared with the trek through mountains and rivers and the precarious situation, it was considered easy.It was also Xuanzang who had a firm heart towards the Buddha, otherwise he might have retreated.

This cluster of mountains is not something that a frail monk like Xuanzang can conquer. Xuanzang has suffered enough to eat and sleep in the open.

On the border of the west of the Tang Dynasty, there is a towering mountain named Liangjie Mountain.This mountain is named Liangjie Mountain because it is located on the border between Datang and a small country.The two boundary mountains had another name before, and that was the Five Elements Mountain.

Under the Five Elements Mountain is Monkey King Monkey King.

Just before Xuanzang was about to set foot on the area of ​​the Five Elements Mountain, Guanyin of the South China Sea came floating in the clouds, and disappeared into the mountain in a flash.

"Wukong!" Guanyin came to the stone room in the mountain and called softly.This stone room is not completely dark, there is a ray of sunlight on one side of the stone room all the year round, making the stone room bright and dark.

"See you, Bodhisattva!" Sun Wukong's figure hidden in the dark slowly appeared, and bowed to Guanyin.

"The monkey head has been suffocated all these years!" Guanyin joked.

"The 500 years of meditation has made old Sun Ming understand a lot!" Sun Wukong replied indifferently.

"Hey!" Guanyin sighed softly. "You should already know your mission, right?"

"Naturally!" Sun Wukong replied affirmatively.

"That's why I won't say too much. The man traveling west has already arrived at the foot of the mountain. It's time for you to go out and help him go to Leiyin Temple to obtain the Tripitaka!" Guanyin said softly.

"The old grandson takes orders!" Sun Wukong replied calmly.

These 500 years of meditation have made Sun Wukong's mind more stable, his state of mind has naturally improved, he has realized many things, and knows his mission.

Soon after Monkey King was suppressed, Taoist Bodhi came to Wuxing Mountain on a cloud and had a long talk with Monkey King.As his only disciple, Taoist Bodhi naturally wouldn't let him feel resentment towards Buddhism and confessed everything.

The facts Bodhi said made Monkey King unable to calm down for a long time, but in the end Monkey King accepted his identity, and his attitude towards Buddhism was neither close nor cold.Bodhi Taoists don't force it, as long as Sun Wukong is willing to undertake his mission, then it will be the best result.

As a disciple of Bodhi Taoist, Sun Wukong is naturally a disciple of Zhunti. Compared with Avalokitesvara, he is of the same generation, but there is a difference in hearing the truth, and Sun Wukong still respects Avalokitesvara.

Avalokitesvara is naturally very happy about Sun Wukong's change, but she can only hide all this in her heart, if she shows it, it will lose her identity.

After Avalokitesvara came out of the stone room in the mountain, his figure changed into a woodcutter in a flash, and he went towards Xuanzang who was going up the mountain.

Xuanzang is now leading the white horse, step by step on a small path, slowly climbing towards the Five Elements Mountain.Xuanzang had a woodcutter who was chopping firewood coming from a distance. He was overjoyed and rushed to meet him.

"Brother, please excuse me!" Xuanzang shouted loudly towards the woodcutter transformed by Avalokitesvara.

"Hey! This is a monk from there. I don't know what advice the monk has!" The woodcutter said in surprise.

"Poor monk Xuanzang, what is the name of this mountain? It is so majestic and steep!" Xuanzang asked.

"This mountain is called Liangjie Mountain. It got its name because it is located on the border between the two countries. Before this mountain was also called Wuxing Mountain!" The woodcutter replied with a slight frown. "I heard that the Five Elements Mountain fell here suddenly from a high altitude 500 years ago. It was the Buddha who suppressed the monkey on this mountain in order to punish the mistakes made by the monkey."

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ​​When Xuanzang heard that it was the Buddha's work, he immediately became agitated, folded his hands together and bowed towards the west.

"Monk, where are you going?" the woodcutter asked.

"Following the emperor's order, I wish the Western Heavens to worship the Tripitaka Dharma Sutras!" Xuanzang replied truthfully.

"Oh! This journey to the west is tens of thousands of miles away, and it is extremely difficult. Monk, you are alone, and I am afraid it will be difficult to reach. I heard that since the monkey in the mountain was suppressed by the Buddha, he has devoted himself to the Buddha. If you can accept him as Sir, he may be able to protect you all the way west!" The woodcutter said with a hint of joke.

As the saying goes, there is a heart in speaking, and a heart in listening. Xuanzang secretly remembered the woodcutter's words in his heart.It was less than a month after leaving Chang'an, and Xuanzang couldn't take it any longer. If he hadn't had a firm heart towards the Buddha, he would have given up halfway.

"Thank you, brother, for your enlightenment!" Xuanzang thanked quickly.

"Haha, if you want to release the monkey, you can climb to the top of the mountain and tear off the Buddha sticker on the top of the mountain, and the monkey will come out!" the woodcutter said again.

"Ah!" Xuanzang was startled, he didn't expect that the woodcutter elder brother in front of him knew everything, he was slightly taken aback.When he recovered and wanted to ask, the woodcutter had disappeared without a trace.

"Xuanzang, the road to the west is extremely difficult. Although Sun Wukong is a stone monkey, he has a destiny with the Buddha. You can take him as a disciple and let him protect you on the westward journey to learn Buddhist scriptures!" Avalokitesvara's voice appeared in Xuanzang's mind middle.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Xuanzang was shocked, and hurriedly bowed.

After a while, Xuanzang's ups and downs calmed down, and he led the white horse and continued towards the top of the Five Elements Mountain.

This Five Elements Mountain is really rugged and steep, very few people can't climb it.But it was such a dangerous place that forced Xuanzang to come to the top of the mountain alone.After arriving at the top of the mountain, Xuanzang saw a golden Buddha sticker sticking to a boulder with a faint light of Buddha.Xuanzang was determined, and after tidying up his clothes, he quickly walked towards the Buddha post.

I saw that on this Buddha sticker, there are six gold characters written, which are 'Om, Ma, Nei, Ba, Mi, Hum'.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Xuanzang came to bring Buddha stickers, clasped his hands together, knelt on the ground, and bowed.

"Boom!" As soon as Xuanzang's words fell, the Buddhist stickers pasted on the boulder suddenly vibrated, and a golden light burst out, overflowing with auspiciousness.Then, I saw the Buddhist stickers slowly flying up, heading towards the west.

"Namo Amitabha Buddha!" ​​Xuanzang was astonished as a celestial being, shouting loudly that the Buddha had appeared, and even knelt down to worship him.

Just as Xuanzang bowed down, a figure appeared in front of Xuanzang.Xuanzang noticed it immediately, and quickly looked up.

"Ah!" Xuanzang was taken aback by Sun Wukong's appearance, but although Sun Wukong looked like a monster, he gave people a sense of calmness, which made Xuanzang not very frightened.

"Disciple Sun Wukong, pay homage to master!" Sun Wukong bowed his hands to Xuanzang who was slowly getting up.

"Are you the stone monkey under this mountain?" Xuanzang asked still in shock.

"Disciple, I violated the rules of heaven 500 years ago, and was suppressed by the Buddha here to reflect on myself." Sun Wukong replied softly.

"That's how it is! In the future, I hope you will accumulate virtue and do good deeds, dedicate yourself to the Buddha, and don't make mistakes again!" Xuanzang said, pretending to be calm.

"It's getting late, let's go, Master!" Sun Wukong didn't want to get too involved with Xuanzang on this issue, so he changed the subject.

"Okay!" Xuanzang looked at the sky, it was indeed getting late.

Sun Wukong supported Xuanzang, and then separated a monkey body to lead the white horse, and then they went down the mountain slowly.

PS: It was written as Wuzhishan before, and now it is unified and revised as Wuxingshan.
