[Journey to the West] Tucao Emperor who was delayed by Buddhism

The matter of Che Chiguo was settled, and Hui An's son also recognized him. I felt that it would be shameful to stay here for a long time, so I took him back to Nanhai.

When we returned to the South China Sea, the dragon girl was lying on the edge of the lotus pond, looking into the water with her head. Seeing that we were back, she turned her head and asked, "How is it? Who won this time?"

Hui An threw his stick to the ground in a muffled voice, and said, "I lost."

Seeing the two of us coming back, Shancai was rushing from the Purple Bamboo Forest with his No. [-], and asked, "We lost? How could we all lose? The little magic star didn't eat?"

Hui An stretched out a hand and counted slowly with his fingers: "The Huli Immortal was defeated by Sun Wukong and died; the Luli Immortal killed himself after killing the Yangli Immortal, what is the calculation?"

Shancai said dejectedly, "How can it be like this? It's so strange!"

Hong Hai'er said: "I told you that you should go down to the world to stir up the muddy waters. If you just sit like this, you will definitely lose."

……

Shancai loses the loser, but the loser is willing to do so. He just patted the red boy on the head and said, "Forget it, this is not fun anymore. We won't participate in it anymore."

I was secretly relieved when I saw the dragon girl lying on the edge of the pool and said with a smile: "Who said everyone lost?"

She stood up, looked at us with a smile and said, "You three lost, but I won."

The dragon girl came up to us, and said with a smile, "You guys forgot, I bet on Master to lose. Now that all three of you lose, then Master also loses, so I count as the winner."

I looked at her in amazement, and my heart seemed to be completely cold at that moment.

God, I thought she was joking, but she was serious!She actually bet so cruelly that I lost!

I feel so sad that the only apprentice I think is the most sensible and obedient doesn't even trust me. Although I don't have much confidence in my gambling ability, it hurts to be treated like this.

The dragon girl said: "Since I won, we have to gamble again. What is the best bet this time?"

I have been heartbroken by her, and I am going to dig a hole to hide in my old age, never to see their young people's strange activities again, but the dragon girl suddenly said: "Oh, yes, It may take a while for us to win or lose the bet, there is one carp missing in the pond, is it because Chang'e lost her temper last time was too scary and scared to death?"

The fish in this pond are really pitiful. Chang'e gets angry every few hundred years. Every time she gets angry, she has to catch a few fish. Every time she catches a fish, don't take it away, just throw it back and continue fishing. It was mental torture!To be honest, in the past few years, I always suspected that I would be scared crazy, but they have been living well, which I admire very much.

I asked Dragon Girl, "How many pieces are missing?"

After hearing my question, Long Nu counted them again and said, "One. Only one is gone."

Shancai poked his head to look, and said, "Do you think the child was scared and stupid, hiding at the bottom, and we didn't see it?"

When he said this, Longnu jumped down to look for it, then came out and said: "It's gone, there is one flower bone missing, maybe find a place to die?"

I comforted myself in my heart, alas, it’s just a fish, if you throw it away, you lose it, how big a deal can it be?

But I was wrong, I was completely wrong.

In the past, I didn’t quite understand why the monsters in the lower realm would snatch a sip of fairy things, such as fairy leftovers, fairy socks, or even fairy underwear. I always understood it as a kind of deformed pair. The pursuit of social status, after all, is good if you have never seen it before, but after this incident, I found that it is not the case!

Because we have occupied the top resources in the world. Anyway, the most suitable resources for becoming immortals are basically concentrated in the upper heaven and the blissful west heaven, so the lower ones can make a difference ah!

My understanding of this matter began when Monkey King came to my South China Sea again.

He came and told me a story.

There is a Tongtian River in the lower realm, and there is a King of Inspiration in the river. He said that he doesn’t know why the monsters are just some kind of king when they become spiritless, and they don’t come up with creative names, such as the King of Inspiration, the Great Immortal of Inspiration, and the Great God of Inspiration Like him, his name is Monkey King, so he won't go out and bump his name.

All in all, this inspirational king, Baofang, is very kind, but his kindness is not in vain. He is a bit like a gangster. Good deeds are not done in vain, and he asks someone to donate a pair of virgins every year.

It’s okay to sacrifice boys and girls. After all, there are many monsters who love to eat people. It’s understandable. The problem is that he has to go to other people’s homes to pick them out before asking them to sacrifice, which is disgusting.

I thought to myself that I don’t do life sacrifices in Buddhism, nor in Taoism, don’t be someone from the west.

He said here, and continued to tell me: "This monster is very strange, breaking the iron law that the monsters in the mountain are not good at brains, so I suspect that he came from the sky."

I thought to myself that I can’t say that, maybe this is a monster against the law, but he went on to tell me how the monster captured his master:

After he beat the monster away in the temple, the next day it snowed heavily and the river was frozen solid. The Tongtian River was eight hundred miles wide and could not be circumvented. It happened that the ice was solid, and his master was in a hurry to learn the scriptures, so he waited for them Halfway through the ice, the monster suddenly broke the ice and grabbed Tang Seng who had fallen into the ice water.

The three of his apprentices struggled desperately, especially Sun Wukong, who was not good at water, and finally climbed up. How could he fight with monsters, and found that the master was gone.

... This level of IQ is already anti-gravity!

At the end, he said to me again: "His weapon aesthetics is also very good. Bodhisattva, you know, most of the monsters below are not good at aesthetics, so I suspect that this is a heavenly one."

I thought to myself that Sun Wukong's aesthetics are very strange. To be honest, I have been unable to complain about his tiger skin skirt, but he said: My master sewed it for me, and I want to wear it.So I have no choice but to let him go.He said that this monster weapon is beautiful, I really doubt it!

Sun Wukong said: "The monster's weapon is a flower bone with nine petals, together with the evergreen bamboo, it looks tight, like an unopened lotus flower, with excellent toughness, so I doubt it is extraordinary."

... flower bone...

Why do I sound familiar?

My ominous premonition came again: "Then what kind of spirit is he? What changed?"

Sun Wukong raised his head and thought about it, and said: "That ugly virtue is probably a fish, it's slippery or not, it's troublesome."

The dragon girl reacted the fastest, grabbed me, and said in a low voice: "Master, I figured it out, the carp that escaped in the water must have become a spirit in the lower realm, and then it broke one of our unopened lotus that day. Go Huaguduo, turn it into a weapon, and fight with Monkey King and the others."

I said: "The question is, if you can increase your IQ so much by rolling down the boundary, why don't we also throw Hui An down once?"

Dragon Girl: "..."

Long Nu said sympathetically: "Master, don't think about it. If he is really smart, he will listen to rumors and eat Tang Seng."

That being said, it makes sense.

But if it was something I ran out of in Nanhai, I have to take it back by myself, otherwise it will appear that I am very irresponsible, let him change his mind and cause trouble, and then leave him and run away, which is very bad.

So, I said righteously to Sun Wukong: "I can't just leave your master alone. He is an old friend from my previous life. If he dies, I won't live anymore. I will save him."

Sun Wukong said that he was very moved by the idea of ​​me going to save his master, and said that the relationship between me and the little monk Xuanzang was a bright light he had just seen in the hypocritical relationship between gods and immortals. He felt ashamed and decided to learn from the two of us.

However, what I was thinking in my mind was only: I can't let Jin Chanzi die because of me again. If he dies because of me this time, he will probably turn into a ghost and haunt me for the rest of his life.

I thought it was just in time for me to start now, but I was wrong.

Thousands of times I was in time, but this time alone, it was too late.

However, it was too late this time, and it ruined my spiritual life for thousands of years, made my future turbulent, and made my tranquility invisible.

It’s like this, with a heart full of passion, I followed Monkey King down to the frozen Tongtian River to subdue the carp essence. The King of Inspiration in Tianhe Cave Mansion said to Xuanzang: "You don't remember me? I saw you in your last life, but you were so annoying back then, I didn't know you could still eat."

The little monk cried sadly: "You have met me and you are destined to be with me. Why do you want to eat me?"

The king of inspiration said: "Then why don't you ask the Bodhisattva why he exiled you to the lower world?"

The little monk asked blankly, "What exile?"

The King of Inspiration said: "Oh, yes, you have been reincarnated for ten lives, and you have forgotten Guanyin Bodhisattva."

The little monk was even more confused: "No, I remember him, he is very good, we are good friends."

…My ominous premonition screamed again at the top of my lungs, and I was so scared that I hurried to the cave, hoping to make this monster shut up, but he didn’t, he didn’t, he just wanted to gossip:

"Then you should always remember that you quarreled with Guanyin Bodhisattva under the lotus seat, and he recited a mantra to seal your voice because he thought you were annoying? Later, you were questioned at the Buddha's lecture, and you couldn't get out by pointing your mouth Sheng'er, this is how he was exiled to the lower world for ten whole lives, and he didn't end well in the end."

……

I am done.

I'm completely done this time.

I also heard the little monk struggle by himself: "No! You lied to me, Guanyin Bodhisattva is the best for me. He really likes me, he comes to save me every time."

The King of Inspiration burst out laughing suddenly as if he had heard some very funny joke, and sprayed bubbles crazily: "Hahaha, I am so laughing to death, I am a carp in the lotus pond under him, listen You know better than anyone else that he curses you every day to die! Not only him, but the whole Western Paradise hates you too, you are so pitiful, hahaha, so pitiful!"

... These days, not only are tree holes unsafe, but even water holes are unsafe!

What about respecting each other's privacy?

I thought the little monk was going to cry again, he must have cried endlessly this time, but he didn't.

He just opened his eyes wide, and suddenly became quiet. He has never been so quiet in thousands of years.

As if he had never made any sound, and would never make any sound again, he fell silent.

Like autumn leaves sinking into the mire, sinking down, slowly being submerged, completely, without a sound.
