Journey to the West: Interpretation and Teaching Disciples

Chapter 175

Not to mention that Zhang Xing was enjoying family happiness with his parents in Mount Jiuhua, but that Xuanzang and his party continued westward after Zhang Xing left the team.Along the way, everyone stayed overnight, and several springs and autumns passed before they knew it.

Not long after Zhang Xing left, Sun Wukong and his party encountered the Heishui River. According to the records in "Journey to the West", after Xuanzang and his party went through a lot of hardships, Monkey King called Mo Ang, the third prince of the West Sea, to collect him. The wife, uncle and nephew who were killed in the Heishui River.Sun Wukong also rescued Xuanzang, and then the Black God of Heishuihe carried Xuanzang and his party across the Heishuihe to the west.

On this day, Monkey King was exploring the way ahead, Bajie led the white dragon horse, and Drifting led the salute and a group of four walked forward.

Suddenly, the sharp-eared Monkey King heard some noisy voices in front, and Xuanzang also heard the sound when he was wondering, so he said to Monkey King: "Monkey King! Why is it so noisy in front of you! Go and have a look!"

Xuanzang was also frightened by many monsters along the way. Hearing that there were some monsters and ghosts in the noisy scene ahead, he wanted to ask Monkey King to go ahead and investigate.Seeing what Xuanzang said, Sun Wukong agreed, and disappeared in a single leap on the clouds.

After Sun Wukong came to the front with a cloud, he saw a group of monks under the supervision of several Taoist priests. Those monks were doing some hard work under the supervision of the Taoist priests. Because of Xuanzang, Sun Wukong himself thought he was a member of Buddhism. Now seeing Buddhist believers being flogged like this, Sun Wukong was angry from his heart.But the current Monkey King is not the monkey who was the king on Huaguo Mountain.With a thought, he turned into a wandering Taoist priest and appeared on the spot.

Sun Wukong turned into a wandering Taoist priest and appeared in front of the supervising Taoist priest.

"Fellow Daoist, it makes sense to be a poor Taoist!" Sun Wukong pointed to the monks and asked, "Fellow Daoist, I don't know what's going on with these monks? I have traveled to many countries and I have never seen such a thing." My monk, please explain it to me, so that I won’t commit a taboo in my country.”

Although the supervising Taoist was very mean to the monk, the Taoist attitude towards Sun Wukong's changes was not bad. Hearing Sun Wukong's question, the Taoist replied: "You don't know something, fellow Taoist. A few years ago, there was a severe drought in our Chechi country. The king asked the monks in Zhiyuan Temple, the national temple, to pray for rain. Those monks chanted the scriptures for several days, but there was no rain. Finally, our three national teachers suddenly came to pray for heavy rain for our Che Chiguo, and then The king gave these monks to the national teacher to build Taoist temples."

The supervising Taoist said the whole thing in one breath, and Sun Wukong asked after listening: "Since your national teachers can ask for rain, they must have powerful magic powers. I wonder what titles they have?"

"Hehe! All three of our national teachers have titles. The great national teacher is called 'Hu Li Da Xian', the second national teacher is called 'Lu Li Da Xian', and the three national teachers are called 'Yang Li Da Xian'." The Taoist saw Sun Wukong and asked about the title of the national teacher proudly introduced.

Hearing this title, Sun Wukong knew that the three masters of the state were probably transformed by monsters, so he calmly said to the supervising monk: "To tell you the truth, I am actually from the country of Che Chi, and I just left home when I was young. , now I come back to find my uncle who raised me, but unfortunately my uncle is a monk, it seems that he is being imprisoned here now, what should I do?"

Hearing what Sun Wukong said, the supervising Taoist priest wanted to show himself, so he said to Sun Wukong: "Daoist friend, what's the problem? I'll take you to the jail. If I find your uncle, I will make the decision and let him go." What do you think of him?"

Sun Wukong was thinking about how to understand the situation, when he heard the Taoist's words, he was overjoyed and immediately complied.Came to the prison with this Taoist priest.

Then Sun Wukong made trouble on purpose and released all the monks who were imprisoned. He happened to hear these monks say that Liuding Liujia was protecting them and asked them to wait until Monkey King arrived.When Sun Wukong heard this, he knew that this was an arrangement made by Buddhism and heaven.

Although Sun Wukong knew about it, he couldn't resist, so he had to be a good person to give each of the monks a vellus hair, and told them how to use the vellus hair. Under the demonstration of a monk, many monks went eastward. Those who went westwards all ran away, only a dozen or so monks hadn't run away yet.After Sun Wukong asked, he realized that these monks were the monks of Zhiyuan Temple.

After Sun Wukong finished his work, he came back to report the situation to Xuanzang. After Sun Wukong explained the matter, Xuanzang felt pain for the suffering of all the monks. Just after Sun Wukong made some inquiries, it was almost night, so a group of more than a dozen A monk from Zhiyuan Temple led him to stay at Zhiyuan Temple.

It was already night when we arrived at Zhiyuan Temple, so Xuanzang was going to rest overnight at Zhiyuan Temple, and the next day he would go up to the emperor of Chechi Kingdom to intercede for the monks of Zhiyuan Temple.

The group rested early, but Monkey King couldn't fall asleep because of something on his mind. At this moment, Monkey King saw the bright lights in the south, as if there was something wrong. Monkey King opened his eyes and saw a Sanqing Taoist temple , a group of Taoist priests chanting scriptures and praying inside.

Seeing this, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, and an idea came to his mind.Sun Wukong quickly got up and woke up Bajie and Drifting Monk and flew towards the Taoist temple together.

When he arrived at the Taoist temple, Monkey King summoned a strong wind to drive away the Taoist priests in the Taoist temple.Then the three of Monkey King entered the Taoist temple.

Looking at the sacrifices in the Taoist temple, Bajie opened his mouth to eat, but was stopped by Monkey King.

"Idiot, you only know how to eat, so tell me which ones are the three gods on it?" Sun Wukong pointed to the three gods and said to Bajie.

Bajie glanced at the portrait, and said to Sun Wukong, "Brother Monkey, why don't you even recognize Sanqing's portrait! The one in the middle is Yuanshi Tianzun, the one on the left is Lingbao Taoist Lord, and the one on the right is Taishang Laojun."

Sun Wukong responded, and said to Bajie: "We came to other people's territory, it's not good to eat like this, Bajie, you move them down, and we will eat these sacrifices in their appearance."

Although Bajie was unwilling, but when Monkey King spoke, Bajie had no choice but to work as a coolie.The three statues of the gods were moved down, and the three of them, Monkey King, turned into Sanqing and ate the sacrifices.

But at this time, a little Taoist priest in the Taoist temple just dropped something and was about to come back to pick it up, but happened to step on the lychee core thrown by Bajie and fell, and Bajie just laughed out loud, and immediately slapped him. The little Taoist was frightened half to death, ran out in a hurry, and told Hu Li and the other three what happened in the Taoist temple.

As soon as Hu Li heard about this, he brought the two brothers to the Taoist temple to see who was making trouble in the Taoist temple.
