Thirty-Three If You Love (Part 1)

“Monkey, you’ve gained weight.”

“Xiao Er, you have turned black.”

Five hundred years later, the dialogue between the two began.

“I have taken in a capable apprentice, and a daughter-in-law who loves others. She nourishes her every day, so how can she not gain weight?” The old monkey squatted on the barrier and complained, but his face was full of brown hairs, but his face was a little pale. Proud and self-respecting, she squinted at Erlang God below her.

The old man knew that he was imprisoned in the Guiyuan Temple. He didn’t want to lose his face in front of this enemy for many years, so he deliberately showed his aftertaste for a good family life.

Erlangshen rolled his eyes, and he still rolled his eyes with the faint eye in the middle, so he looked very strange: “You said that I have turned black, it is natural, I was born to work hard.”

In the middle of the conversation, Xiansheng Zhenjun sighed.

However, there is no self-pity, self-pity and self-pity in this sigh. Instead, it is a sigh of heroism and arrogance. The pavilion talks about thousands of miles of wind, facing the Tianmen Mountain, never forgetting the worries, looking at the gun while drunk, the bright moon in the world is closed, the dark desert and lonely smoke are so straight, the Styx River is far away in the Buddha’s light, the man drinks wine bravely and sighs first , it was a full sigh of time

The old monkey naturally knew what this sigh meant. What he sighed was that the God Erlang had returned to the underworld. His career in the battlefield these years was so chic, but his career as a five-hundred-year-old monk was not very glorious. What he sighed was A certain person has nothing to fight, nothing to rebel, nothing to do, so he just stays at home and only smears the filial piety of his descendants on his face. scruples, go to heavenAt this time, knowing that the other party is talking about things for five hundred years, I want to earn back all the face I lost 1900 years ago, but I really can’t earn too much for myself because of family life. Face.

Thinking of this, the old monkey’s face gradually turned red with embarrassment, and turned pale again. He gritted his teeth, and cursed sullenly: “Just fight with those useless guys, and beat them for so many years, the beauty is dead!” you”

Xiansheng Zhenjun shrugged: “Better than you.”

“Hehehehe” the old monkey laughed back angrily, “Yes, you are the most beautiful, you are born like a woman, and you will have to help my apprentice when you arrive, if you have the guts, you will ruin the day.”

Erlangshen was startled, and there was a trace of anger on his face, he scolded: “Back then it was said that we should not show face, you bastard!”

The old monkey grinned and waved his hands.

At this moment, a strange-looking primordial spirit floated over. It didn’t look like a person or a horse, but rather like a dog.

The primordial spirit cowered, avoiding the seepage of the Buddha’s light, and finally floated to the high platform, hugged Erlang God’s thigh, and kept crying: “Master, why did you come to the underworld?”

Erlangshen didn’t expect that the dog would come to find him in the underworld, his eyes swept away, and a tinge of warmth appeared in his cold heart, but he soon realized that the dog’s posture of hugging his thigh was too indecent, thinking that the monkey was watching from above. Looking at himself, his complexion turned blue and red, and he became a little uncomfortable.

The monkey laughed loudly, feeling that he had saved some face, and sneered, “It seems that you also have a family life, and you even have a pet.”

Erlang Shen didn’t know what to do, but he was very sad to see the dog hugging his thigh and crying, so naturally he was reluctant to kick it away.

“Come on, you two, master and servant, find another place to complain about the history of the revolutionary family. My family doesn’t like to read these things.” The old monkey muttered, waving his hands to let Erlang God leave the high platform.

Erlangshen’s eyes flashed with anger, and he said sharply: “The matter is not finished yet, yet you let me go.”

The old monkey’s golden eyes flashed, and a mocking look appeared on his face. After a while, he said: “You have been fighting alone for decades, and now there are cracks all over your body. Don’t think my family’s eyes can’t see it.”

A smile appeared on Erlangshen’s handsome face, and he glanced at the dog that was still crying on his lap, feeling a little annoyed, and said, “Then I’ll go, I’m really too lazy to care about the rest of it.” , anyway, there is no fight to fight, you master and apprentice can figure it out.” He suddenly said: “It’s just”

It is rare for the old monkey to see this guy with a hesitant look, so he bent down curiously, and brought his hairy face closer to the jade-like barrier: “It’s just what?”

“It’s just that your apprentice is so stupid, I don’t believe that he is Maitreya, not to mention the dangerous thing of opening the six realms of reincarnation, let him bear it alone, can he bear it?”

The old monkey was furious and scolded: “My apprentice is talented and intelligent, and he will be a big man who will succeed the Tathagata in the future. How dare you call him stupid?”

God Erlang smiled, stopped talking, just glanced at the right side, and said with a slightly worried expression: “In the past few decades, I have been fighting in the underworld, one is to respect the Bodhisattva of Earth Store, and the other is to not see the Western Pure Land. It took so long to suppress the ghosts in the underworld, but it’s not that I can’t kill those bodhisattvas, but the heavenly court made that whip and put it there, which made me a little upset.”

The old monkey laughed and said, “Then hitting the magic whip is really powerful.”

“Now that you have entered the Buddhist gate, you are naturally not afraid of the whip. Besides, my physical body is not as strong as yours.” Erlang God sneered, but the worry on his face did not fade a bit, “but the magic whip suddenly disappeared from the underworld a few days ago. Let my army go so smoothly, I really can’t figure out what’s going on here.”

After the old monkey was silent for a while, he suddenly said: “The only one who can make the magic whip is your uncle.” He said with a grinning smile: “You are afraid that the old Jade Emperor will have something to do in secret.”

“What’s so scary about that stupid guy? I’ll go first, and we’ll talk about it after you come out.”

Hand talking here naturally does not refer to playing chess.

Erlangshen waved his hand very chicly, and led the dog away a moment later, in the space about 6,000 kilometers away from the high platform, a clear light flashed, and a passage was broken open by Erlangshen, revealing the nether space behind.

Just like that, a man with a dog in his hand quietly disappeared from the world where he had been fighting sleeplessly for decades.

All the ghosts and bones of the underworld bowed down on the ground, kowtowed to the place where the clear light disappeared, and thanked Xiansheng Zhenjun for the great merits he had made for all beings in the underworld.

The old monkey laughed loudly, and turned his eyes to the place Erlang God had looked at before, but the laughter stopped abruptly, with a sad face on his face, thinking that his apprentice was really caught by Xiao Er, he is a real idiot

While the two masters were chatting, Yi Tianxing didn’t hear it, but his eyes turned to a place next to Master Master, and his eyes never left, like a fool.

Through the space barrier like a mirror of tranquility, one can vaguely see a girl with a handsome face lying quietly beside the ancestor, her sparse eyelashes are quietly and gently closed on the eyelids, her lips are light red , not moving at all, exuding an icy and still feeling.

That woman is his wife.

“Leilei.” Yi Tianxing said to himself foolishly, “How did you become like this?””It’s okay, I just fell asleep.” The ancestor kept one hand on Zou Leilei’s wrist, and kept his pulse with two fingers, without stopping for a moment.

Hearing what the master said, Yi Tianxing felt a little more relieved. Now he naturally knows that his wife is not an ordinary person, just like he is the fire at the beginning of the calamity. He heard that his wife is a ray picked up by the Buddha from the end of the calamity. ice breath.

When the reincarnation of the six realms was about to open, Lei Lei fell asleep. This matter must have some deep meaning, Yi Tianxing smiled, and vaguely understood the meaning of the Buddha.

“Ye Xiang”

“Hopeless.”

“My family doesn’t necessarily have to go out.” The old ancestor said lightly, his voice pierced through the barrier above Yi Tianxing’s head, walking through the underworld, “If you don’t want to be this Laoshizi Buddha, if you think After opening this place, there will be great danger. If ”

“There is no if, only Aia.”

Yi Tianxing smiled, stood on the high platform, and looked at the undead who were like ants on the black soil of the underworld. From the outside of the high platform, about two miles away, to the outside, he couldn’t see so much His soul fell into this tomb-like underworld, sinking, silent, and looking forward to it.

A coldness unique to the underworld surrounds him, and he can’t help but think of the Tibetan snowfield in the world, the mountain, the city, the temple, and the Bodhisattva in that temple. At that time, Samantabhadra Bodhisattva once said: “The great sage was demoted to the mortal world, trapped in that temple, and could not escape for five hundred years. As his disciple, you naturally want to liberate him from the temple, and those who trap him will It’s the Buddha. If you don’t go to find the Buddha, how will you save him from the temple? So, it is destined that you are the one who will find the Buddha.”

Yi Tianxing has always thought that his karma with his master lies in finding the Buddha. It wasn’t until he understood everything that he realized that the cause and effect between himself and his master was that the master was suppressed by the Buddha’s light in this record of the Buddha’s light. If he wanted to rescue the master, the Buddha’s light would naturally rush into the six realms of reincarnation in the underworld. Always drive by yourself.

He smiled and glanced at Master Master over there, and said, “My disciple, I want to become a Buddha, and I want to be kind to Purdue, but I don’t care about Master.”

Monkey laughed, thinking that this disciple really loves his master, but he scolded his mother, and then he didn’t care about this kid anymore.

Yi Tianxing shrugged, blew a kiss affectionately to his wife on the other side of the space barrier, and then sat back on the high platform without saying anything to his master, took a boy lotus seat, and then put his wandering soul His body got into the shell, like putting on clothes, first the sleeves, then the pants, and finally the zipper.

The palm of his hand shone with a faint light of sky fire, and the gap in the chest and abdomen of his body healed strangely when the palm passed, just like a zipper.

Yi Tianxing’s realm at this time has already reached the upper edge of the Great Bodhisattva, and he is only one step away from stepping into the Buddha’s realm. He behaved like that in front of Erlang God and his master, just respecting the old man. Twisting his neck, he found that it was still not fully fused, so he sighed, closed his eyes, folded his palms, and said softly, “Good night, Ye Xiang.”

The Buddha’s light descended from the head without roots, and sprinkled on Yi Tianxing’s body. His body was curled up, his legs were coiled like twin trees, and the skin on his body exuded a metallic luster. It fell out of the boundless light of silence, so the head was completely bare. In the eyes of billions of ghosts in the underworld, the person sitting on the high platform at this time is either the one next to him, or a monk, a monk with white light all over his body.

It’s like those monks who sat on the high platform made of wood in ancient times and prayed for rain for the emperor.

If those monks can’t ask for rain, they will often order their disciples to light a fire from under the wooden platform for the safety of the temple gate, so that their remnants and the high platform will be burned at the same time.

If Yi Tianxing can’t unlock the six realms of reincarnation, will the high platform under him also burn himself?

The surrounding area of ​​Guiyuan Temple in the human world is quiet, the roadside stalls that were common in the past, pedestrians and lovers have disappeared, and it is deadly quiet. In Guiyuan Temple, the vision brought about by the end of the Dharma era is still spreading. The running water under the Cuiwei Pavilion has all turned into dirty yellow water. The golden statue of the Buddha’s body on the Daxiong Hall has long been mottled and looks extremely ugly.

This is exactly the consequence of the passage of the underworld getting thinner and the dark wind rushing into the underworld.

All of a sudden, those dying bamboos in the backyard of Guiyuan Temple scrambled violently, and the withered and yellow bamboo leaves rolled up, the edges of the leaves gradually blackened, and burned with a hissing sound, turning into ashes.

Although the iron lotus in the lake was strong, it was also weakened by the sudden high temperature, and sank miserably into the lake.

In the dry atmosphere, the space outside the stone arch in the back garden was opened by a powerful force. Bin Ku was standing here alone, feeling the breath coming from the space, smiling and turning sideways, and walked far away.

With a whoosh, a pair of flaming red wings danced out of the dark passage, and the high temperature carried by it instantly set the entire backyard on fire.

Little Yi Zhu fell to the ground with a sullen face, retracted his fire wings, and the little guy was carrying a monk on his back.

The monk got off Yi Zhu’s body, looked around with a pair of clear eyes, clasped his hands together, a breath passed, and the fire in the courtyard stopped.

The crouching vajra circle fluctuated for a while, glowing like water, and a breath came from there.

The old monkey stood up abruptly, a yellow and old cassock seemed to fly up, hunting.
