Chapter 13 Zhu Shixing

Zhu Shixing, whose dharma name is "Bajie", is often said to be the prototype of Bajie in Journey to the West, but in fact he is not. Can't match it.

According to historical records, Zhu Shixing became a monk as a young man, but he did not receive precepts.In the second year of Jiaping (250 A.D.), Tanhe Jialuo, a monk of the Indian law school, went to Luoyang to translate scriptures, and set up an altar for precepts in Baima Temple. Zhu Shixing was the first to receive precepts on the altar, becoming the first Han monk in Chinese history, and also the first The monks who went west to seek scriptures and dharma were much earlier than Tang Sanzang in the period of Tang Taizong.

The reason why Tang Sanzang is more famous than him is simple. Tang Sanzang came back alive, and the scriptures were also taken back.Zhu Shixing, well, the sutra was brought back, but it was brought back by his apprentice, and he died outside instead.Therefore, if one came back alive, and the other hiccupped, the treatment would be great. Whoever has nothing to do and keeps promoting the great achievements of a dead man is not Qin Shihuang.

The reason why Si Zhai knew such a number one person was not because he was good at studying history, but because Zhu Shixing had an unknown identity—he was the second life of Jin Chanzi!

After parting with the Three Holy Mothers that day, the first target Si Zhai looked for was not Zhu Shixing, but went back to the Buddhist world to find an old acquaintance of Monkey King.After inquiring about it, I found out that this golden cicada had just gone to the West to learn Buddhist scriptures in his first life, and he was eaten by that unlucky Liushahe.

However, Jin Chanzi is worthy of being Tathagata's most beloved second disciple. Not long after he died, the shelled spirit body recovered the memory of the previous life.Then the hunting order of the underworld was posted all over the Three Realms, looking for this golden cicada all over the world.

Si Zhai asked the acquaintance Jin Chanzi where he was hiding, the man smiled and said nothing, Si Zhai had no choice but to shrug his shoulders and leave.Later, Si Zhai, relying on his status as an "imperial envoy", ran to the Jade Emperor without fear of trouble, and got together with his friends who used to be Bi Mawen. After two months, the Heavenly Court was filled with smog by him, and the Jade Emperor almost couldn't hold back his anger and sent troops to destroy him.

Si Zhai, who was kicked out by the Jade Emperor, planned to look for those old monster friends again, but he didn't expect: the arrest warrants posted all over the Three Realms disappeared!

Si Zhai counted his fingers, good guy, he lived in the sky for a year, he happily played in the heaven for two months, it has been more than 60 years in the mortal world, this golden cicada should have been caught long ago!
Si Zhai was in a cold sweat, and hurried to the underworld to find the judge.The judge slowly took out the book of life and death and looked at it: "I was reincarnated 20 years ago!"

"Two! 20 years!? Where did you vote? What's your name? Where are you now?"

Si Zhai threw out a series of questions, but the judge was still calm and unhurried: "Don't worry, let me see... well, I was voted in Yingchuan... called Zhu Shixing, I can't find it anywhere now. "

"Master, master! I know where this man is!"

Before Si Zhai had time to question the judge, he heard Xiao Po shouting excitedly in the space, thanked the judge first, and then went out of the underworld to communicate with Xiao Po: "Xiao Po, do you know this person?"

"Of course I know! My database is the most complete in the world!" Xiao Po proudly puffed up his chest, and introduced: "Please read the popular science section at the beginning of this chapter!"

Then Si Zhai came to the White Horse Temple.They are all "imperial envoys", so naturally they can't show their true colors and shake the stick: Ah, call Zhu Shixing out for me!

Don't scare people away, but also drop the price!
You see now, more grades!There is no one to find fault with kicking people or touching beautiful women's buttocks, and there are kind old people who serve him tea and water.

Then Si Zhai threw the kind old man out.

Looking at the monk with a naturally smiling face in front of him, Si Zhai felt chilly as if he saw some beautiful woman.

"So you are Bajie, do you have another person named Zhu Shixing?"

The smiling monk who was leading the way for Si Zhai before, felt uncomfortable when Si Zhai looked at him, but he was born with a smiling face, even if the discomfort appeared on that smiling face, he was still smiling.

"Young monk is Zhu Shixing, why don't you ask me to come here?"

"Actually, it's not a big deal!" Si Zhai changed his arrogant and domineering appearance just now, and smiled like an old man selling Dali pills: "I just want to ask if you want to go to the Western Paradise to learn Buddhist scriptures!"

Zhu Shixing was puzzled at first, then his eyes lit up: "The almsgiver is talking about going to Tianzhu?"

Si Zhai thought that Lingshan might be in Tianzhu, so he said, "Yes!"

"Oh, I want to go, I want to go!"

It seems that Zhu Shixing wanted to learn scriptures since he was a child. It has not been two hundred and five years since the Indian magic stick came here, and he already knows this corner of Tianzhu. He really competes with modern fans. !

But after Zhu Shixing got excited, he also thought of the reality, frowned and thought: "But I heard that the road to Tianzhu is far away, and there are poor mountains and rivers in the middle, I'm afraid I won't be able to reach it!"

Si Zhai reprimanded with a serious face: "Is your ambition so small! A little bit of hardship scares you, and you still think of the scriptures learned by Tianzhu?"

Zhu Shixing hurriedly said: "Don't be angry, but you have to consider the reality! As a poor monk like me, needless to say, if I meet a thief, I will starve to death just by walking so far!"

Seeing Zhu Shixing finished speaking, Si Zhai looked at him cautiously, immediately understood what he was thinking, and said with a smile: "You don't have to worry about it, I have a lot of money, but I have always wanted to learn about Tianzhu Buddhism, but unfortunately I have never been able to find someone who has a lot of money. A courageous person who learns scriptures. I heard that you have always wanted to go to Tianzhu, so I came to look for you. If you dare to go, I will provide you with food and drink for the whole journey, and I will also give you a group of guards, how about it?"

Hearing such a favorable condition, Zhu Shixing was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Go and go!"

"Okay! As expected of the person I'm looking for!" Si Zhai took a big step and shouted: "Come on, let's go!"

Seeing that Si Zhai was in such a hurry, Zhu Shixing hurriedly stopped him first: "Hey, benefactor, please listen to me first. I have stayed in this courtyard for many years, and it would be presumptuous to leave suddenly. May I speak to the host first?"

"Hey, I'll just tell him about it, you pack your bags and get ready!" Saying that, Si Zhai didn't wait for him to refuse, and went straight out of the monastery to find the old monk.

Si Zhai found the old monk in the front hall, startled the old monk who was pretending to be an eminent monk, and rushed forward: "Almsgiver, why did you come here so quickly, the consecration..."

Si Zhai didn't bother with him, and directly gave them two large gold ingots: "Master Bajie's Buddhism is profound, I want to invite him to my home to exchange Buddhism, and these will be used as incense money for your temple!"

The old monk squinted his eyes because of the two gold ingots, and kept saying, "Okay, okay!" I don't know whether it is better to say incense and money, or to leave alone.

When Si Zhai returned to the backyard, Zhu Shixing had already packed his luggage, but he only packed a few changes of clothes, not even any dry food.Just stood there, looking at Si Zhai with a smile.

Si Zhai twitched the corner of his mouth, he was determined to eat free food!
However, it is said... Amway, don't they all go away first and then talk about it?

Si Zhai looked at Zhu Shixing, smiling amiably...
