Journey to the West: Swallowing Giant Panda

Chapter 196

After a feast, the panda took Yang Chan and left.

Watching them leave with the clouds, the Mountain God Land of Huoyan Mountain poked out its head quietly from the ground.The two looked at each other, and the despair in their eyes almost overflowed their sockets.

"The god of law enforcement just left?"

"what"

"Tell me, do they know each other?"

"what"

"Then what shall we do? This goblin has a very deep background, shall we continue to make notes?"

"Hey! The law of heaven is unfair, officials and gangsters collude. He knows all the gods of law enforcement, so let's make a fart, let's be honest."

The two shook hands with each other, leaving two tragic tears!
In fact, the panda really forgot about the two of them, if not, it would definitely have a talk with the Bull Demon King.The reason why these two people were expelled from their cave was also for their own good.

After all, what the panda ordered was very secretive. If they saw it by accident, they might kill them to silence them.It would be good for them to keep them away.At least there is no harm.

Leaving them aside, after walking for a while, Tang Seng and Wukong master and apprentice finally came to a populated place.

"Oh! Wukong, I really don't know the desolation of this world without leaving Chang'an. We, master and apprentice, have been away for more than a month, and we just saw this inhabited temple today." Tang Seng rode on the horse and sighed. .

Wukong curled his lips: "Master, we have more than a month, and we can only travel thirty miles a day, and now we can only walk a thousand miles. There is still a journey of one hundred and eight thousand miles to the west. How long will we go? I am not telling you , you are walking too slowly."

"You Poor Monkey, you still dare to reprimand your teacher. Could it be that you want to deceive your teacher and destroy your ancestors?"

"Master, do you see the white horse under your seat? That is a real dragon, not to mention thirty miles a day, even if the dragon's body is stretched out on weekdays, it is far more than thirty miles. My old grandson is really ashamed of you. "

"You, you, you" Tang Seng was so angry that he was the one who nagged Wukong on weekdays, but today it turned out to be the other way around.

"cut!"

The conversation between the master and the apprentice often ends with this word.

"Boom, boom, boom!" Wukong stepped forward and knocked on the door a few times. The temple looked very luxurious, and there were four large characters written in golden water on the plaque: Guanyin Temple.

The door of the temple opened, and a young monk came out. After asking the reason, he brought the two of them in.

The abbot of this temple is an old monk with a lifespan of more than two hundred years. It is as if he saw a living god in front of Tang Seng: "The old abbot's Dharma is profound. Can you live to this day?"

The old abbot had good ears and eyesight, and when he heard this, he immediately shook his head: "No, no. You little monk also said that you are an eminent monk from the Tang Dynasty. If you only know how to chant scriptures and worship Buddha day and night, and do those kind of good deeds , How can the Buddha see and know? Not to mention bodhisattva rewards, so that the old monk can live to this day."

"Ok?"

This surprised Tang Seng: "The old abbot doesn't practice Zen and worship Buddha every day?"

"Oh, of course not. Look at my Avalokitesvara statue, which is more than ten feet high. Within a hundred miles, my Avalokitesvara Temple is the largest and most luxurious one. The old monk collected money from believers and gave it to Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva. The statue made this golden body. This is all gold! I don’t know how many people don’t even eat, just to shape this golden body. Therefore, the Bodhisattva perceives our integrity, and the old monk can live like this .” When the old abbot talked about his monastery, he was even more elated and excited.

Tang Seng looked up at the statue of Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva, speechless for a long time.

"Old abbot, how is the life of the people here?"

The old abbot shook his head: "It's not a good year. The people here are poor. If the people are a little richer, I think my Guanyin Temple can be doubled in size, and I can build another statue of Avalokitesvara with Thousand Arms."

"So the common people may have enough to eat and drink every day? May they live and work in peace and contentment?"

Hearing his question, the old abbot shook his head even more: "How can I have enough to eat? This year is not good, and no one can have enough to eat."

"But the poor monk saw that the food in the abbot's monastery is very good."

"Hey, we are monks, if we are not full, how can we worship the Buddha?"

"The common people can't get enough to eat, why don't they starve to death? Why spend money to make this golden body?" Tang Seng asked again.

The old abbot seemed a little unhappy: "You monk is really shallow. If you don't build a golden body and don't accumulate merit, will the people in the next life be able to eat enough? Look at me, because of this golden body, the Bodhisattva sees it. I am sincere so that I can live to this day.”

Tang Seng sighed suddenly: "Life and death are in the world of others, and flesh and blood are scattered. Bhikkhus worship gold and stones, and there is no chance to realize Brahma."

At this point, Tang Seng didn't want to stay, and said hello: "Wukong, let me see you tonight, why don't you and I hurry along in the dark?"

Although Monkey King didn't understand, he also knew that Tang Seng seemed unhappy.

Put the stick on your shoulders: "You can do whatever you want."

As he spoke, he strode out of the Daxiong Palace and led the horse: "Get on the horse, let's go."

Tang Seng got on his horse, looked back at the 200-year-old old monk, and then at the one-foot-high pure gold Bodhisattva statue behind the old monk, with mixed feelings in his heart.

"Drive! Drive! Drive!"

He slapped the white dragon horse on the head, roared three times, and the white dragon horse galloped forward.Sun Wukong followed behind him, seemingly unhurried, but his figure did not drop at all.

In the Guanyin Temple, a young monk stepped forward and asked the old abbot, "Master, why do you think they don't stay?"

The old abbot shook his head: "I don't know. This young monk should be an eminent monk who has attained the Tao. Why doesn't he stop talking to me about Buddhism?"

The little monk smirked: "Master, I thought that there must be a Buddha treasure in this monk's salute. I was afraid that we would borrow it, so I ran away in a hurry."

"Well, it makes sense, it makes sense." The old abbot nodded again and again: "But...they have already left."

"Master, why did you forget? Isn't there a black bear behind this mountain? If Master agrees to let this black bear read the Buddhist scriptures and come to offer incense. Presumably this black bear is absolutely willing to snatch this Buddhist treasure back and enshrine it in our Guanyin Temple Medium. What do you think?"

"That's very good." The old abbot nodded.

"Then I go to the back mountain to inform the black bear?"

"Okay, okay, go back quickly."

"Master, do you see what happened to the head of the Discipline Academy?"

"It's better for you to be the first seat of the Discipline Academy. You are a flexible mind, and you are suitable for this position."

The little monk was ecstatic: "Thank you, master, thank you, I will go now."
