Journey to the West: The Rise of Martial Arts

Chapter 149 The So-Called Zen Mind

"Is this Lian Lian Bodhisattva Guanyin Bodhisattva?" Ren Qinglian couldn't help muttering, but she somewhat understood why she was the one among the three Bodhisattvas who was angry with this pig.

After all, although it is said that the Bodhisattvas all show their bodies at random, the genders of the three Bodhisattvas were determined from the very beginning as the beheaded corpses of the deities.

Don't look at the women transformed by the two Bodhisattvas, Manjusri and Samantabhadra, no worse than this Lian Lian, but in essence, these two are still men. Even if they are a little disgusted by Zhu Gang's mane, they will not become angry from embarrassment.

But it is different for Guanyin Bodhisattva, she is a real daughter!God knows if the second senior brother took advantage of the opportunity to do something, anyway, seeing the second senior brother's happy face, the bodhisattvas couldn't help but think that there must be some dirty thoughts in this idiot's mind.

Now, seeing that Zhu Ganglue had seen through his real body, Avalokitesvara simply didn't hide it anymore, showing his true face, and snorted coldly.

Houzi and Ren Qinglian looked at each other, knowing that the Bodhisattva was really angry, so he tried his best to restrain his breath, and quietly watched the good show in the field.

But Zhu Ganglu calmed down and went up to worship: "Zhu Wu can see the Guanyin Bodhisattva who saves the suffering!"

The Bodhisattva was about to frowned and scolded, when he heard Zhu Ganglu suddenly sighed, and said in a melodious manner: "I think back in the past, the folk customs in Zhongzhou area were corrupt, which caused the sky to be angry and the people complained, and the drought was severe. , the exchange of rites and music, the society is in order, and willow branches are taken out of the jade bottle, and the nectar is sprinkled on the four fields. Suddenly, heavy rain falls from the sky, and the drought is relieved. Over the years, wherever the Bodhisattva has been, he has seen the five aggregates. Everything is empty, to endure all hardships..."

Although the Bodhisattva knew that this person was full of flattery, but the things he mentioned were all his most proud works in his life, and he couldn't help but feel greatly benefited. He hummed and said sarcastically: "It seems that during this time you Did you study Buddhism with Xuanzang?"

"The disciple devotes all his heart to the Buddha, and I ask the Bodhisattva to observe clearly." Zhu Gang said without changing his face.

The Bodhisattva has calmed down at this time, not to mention that the Journey to the West is the result of many plans by various parties, even the Tathagata who is behind the pig's mane, she has to give some face.But when she thought of that scene just now, she felt a sense of depression in her heart, and she had no choice but to let it out, and hummed with a straight face: "Really?"

Zhu Gang wiped the corners of his eyes in displeasure, and said, "Master once told a story, I don't know if the Bodhisattva has heard of it."

Then, without waiting for the Bodhisattva to ask what kind of story it was, he continued: "The story is about an old monk and a young monk traveling around. Pass. The old monk took the initiative to carry the woman across the river, then put down the woman, and continued on the road with the young monk. The young monk murmured all the way: What happened to Master? How dare you carry a woman across the river? Walking, thinking all the way, finally finally Unable to bear it, he said: Master, have you violated the precept? Why did you carry a woman? The old monk sighed: I have already let go, but you still can’t let go! "

After hearing this, the three bodhisattvas were all taken aback.

I just heard Zhu Ganglian said with a serious face: "There is nothing in the heart, where is the dust? The Bodhisattva's eyes are like torches, and how can he not see through Wu Neng and sincerely turn to the Buddha..."

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva silently recited this line of Zen, before saying for a long time: "I didn't expect that although you are stupid in heart, you also have some Zen intellect. Remember, don't be an example. From now on, you must correct your mistakes in meditation. If you are neglected, the road will be difficult!"

Zhu Ganglu clasped his hands together and nodded, "Wu Neng follows the teachings of the Bodhisattva."

Hou Zi subconsciously glanced at Ren Qinglian, thinking to himself: Is this the end of the matter?
He has also heard the story Zhu Ganglu told, it was a joke that Ren Qinglian told Xuanzang on the road, and the Zen phrase was also said by Ren Qinglian, but he has not discovered that there is such a usage .

Thinking of this, the monkey secretly began to pay attention, thinking that it would be of great use in the future to write down more wise words of Layman Ren.

Xuanzang has always wanted to persuade Ren Qinglian to convert to Buddhism, but Ren Qinglian can always refute it with various Zen allusions that she heard in her previous life.Although he was a little funny about Zhu Gangguan's active learning and utilization, he was more emotional. It was different because there was a backer behind it.

Over there, Li Shan's old mother suddenly said indifferently: "Marshal Tianpeng is really eloquent, but there is one thing that needs you to tell us honestly."

Zhu Gang was taken aback for a moment, and suddenly realized: "It turns out that mother, you have recognized me a long time ago..."

"Don't be so talkative!" Li Shan's mother glared at Zhu Gangli, revealing her true face.

"It turned out to be the old mother of Lishan!" Zhu Gangli was startled, and went forward to pay his respects without saying a word.

After a long time, I heard the old mother of Li Shan ask curiously: "Just now, what method did you use to catch several Bodhisattvas?"

The bodhisattvas listened attentively, they were too embarrassed to ask about this matter, but they cared quite a lot in their hearts.

Zhu Gangli thought for a while, the relationship between Zen Master Wuchao and him was not a secret in the eyes of these people, even if he told about his practice of Tantric Huanxi Zen.

The bodhisattvas looked at each other, but they secretly became wary of the Tantric Zen method.

After hearing this, Ren Qinglian let out a long sigh of relief, met the monkey's strange gaze, and said with a smile, "Don't ask, the great sage, the secret must not be revealed."

Monkey immediately rolled his eyes, every time Ren Qinglian would use this sentence to push him.However, he has always been worried about the fact that Guanyin Bodhisattva tricked him into putting on the magic spell, and he is also happy to see the Bodhisattva being swindled, so he has no aversion to Ren Qinglian's actions at all, and he didn't go into it.

At this moment, Zhu Gangli asked about the Dabei Wan that he was most concerned about.

"Hmph, there's no such thing as a Great Compassion Pill, it's just for deterring Xiaoxiao!" Guanyin Bodhisattva snorted.

Zhu Ganglu felt relieved. He also heard about this Great Compassion Pill when he was in command of the Tianhe Navy. It is rumored that it can make people die of grief and anger. Guanshiyin of the South China Sea used it to subdue many demon kings.

Several bodhisattvas saw Zhu Ganglian's expression, but they couldn't guess his thoughts. They felt that the canopy was too stubborn, and drinking a few words was not enough to make him wake up, so they used the brocade undershirts they had prepared in advance. , Trapped Zhu Gang's iguana, cast a formula, tied it to a big tree nearby, and said: "The death penalty can be avoided, but the life penalty is hard to escape", let him restrain his mind and concentrate on learning the scriptures.

Soon, after the Bodhisattvas left, the huge villa turned into barren mountains again.

Only then did the monkey and Ren Qinglian show up, seeing the pig mane hanging upside down on the big tree, each of them burst into laughter.

Seeing that it was Ren Qinglian, Zhu Ganglian scolded angrily: "You stinky monkey, you don't want to let my old pig down, and you even made fun of me, Layman Ren, please do me a favor, let me go Put the old pig down, okay..."

Knowing the monkey's temperament, Zhu Gangli scolded a few words and asked Ren Qinglian for advice.

But before Ren Qinglian could make a move, the monkey had already stopped him, stepped forward and smiled at Zhu Gangli: "Good son-in-law! If you don't get up to thank your relatives, go to the master to announce the good news, why are you playing tricks here... "

While talking, Xuanzang and Sha Wujing, who heard the movement, had already come over, and when they saw Zhu Gang stretched on the tree, they all had weird faces.

"Wukong, what's going on?" Xuanzang frowned and asked.

The monkey just wanted to be ashamed, but it was Ren Qinglian who couldn't laugh or cry and explained the whole story clearly.

Xuanzang heard this, and scolded: "It's not a son of man, even a Bodhisattva..." For a while, he didn't know how to say it.

Zhu Ganglian was extremely embarrassed, gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and repeatedly admitted his mistake.

Nasha Wujing observed his words and expressions, and knew that Xuanzang was angry, but he couldn't laugh or cry when he saw what happened to Zhu Gangli, so he immediately put down his luggage and stepped forward to untie the rope.

Zhu Gang thanked Monk Sha, received teachings as an example, picked up earth and burned incense, and worshiped several Bodhisattvas in the sky.

Only then did Sha Wujing hear the names of the Bodhisattvas, and he couldn't help laughing and said, "Second Brother has such benefits, I appreciate the three Bodhisattvas coming to make a kiss with you!"

Zhu Ganglu smiled bitterly and said: "Brother, don't mention it again. From now on, I, Lao Zhu, will never dare to act recklessly. Even if I am tired and broken, I will shoulder the burden and go with Master to the Western Regions."

Xuanzang nodded and said, "That's how it should be."

Laughing for a while, the sky is already bright.

The five continued on the road, eating and sleeping, but were soon blocked by a high mountain.

But I saw that the root of the mountain was connected to the Kunlun vein, and the top of the mountain was in Hanzhong.At the end is the Blessed Land of Xianshan, Penglai Haolangyuan.

Xuanzang stopped his whip and reined in his horse, and said happily: "Apprentices, I have been to the west, and I have experienced many mountains and rivers. They are all steep and steep places. They have never been as beautiful as this mountain. It is very interesting. Could it be that I have approached Lei? Yinsi, if this is the case, we need to clean it up so that we can meet the World-Honored One!"

After hearing this, the monkey laughed and said, "It's early! It's early! One hundred and eight thousand miles, I haven't walked a single stop in ten stops."

Ren Qinglian looked at the mountain surrounded by immortal energy, but she vaguely guessed that it should be at the boundary of Longevity Mountain at this moment.
