Chapter 186 Ling Yundu

In midsummer, there is a peaceful scenery everywhere in the suburbs west of Tianzhu. On the flat fields, there are various fruit trees such as bananas, coconuts, etc. When the warm wind blows, the air is filled with a sweet atmosphere. Although it is sparsely populated, it does not seem desolate. It has a fairyland outside the world, transcends the ordinary love.

Along the river where blue waves flowed, Tang Monk and his disciples stopped here. Instead of riding a horse, Tang Monk walked under a towering tree and leaned on the ground to worship. Bajie, who was carrying a load, couldn't help but ask Sun Wukong: "Brother Monkey, why are you worshiping this big tree?" Sun Wukong just smiled and said, "I don't know either." As he said that, Sha Monk had already stepped forward and helped Tang Monk up.

"Master, why are you worshiping this big tree?"

Tang Seng replied with a smile: "The disciples don't know that this is a Bodhi tree." Before the disciples ask again, Tang Seng had already said: "The response of Buddha Shakyamuni is the prince of Kapilava. When he was young, in order to get rid of the suffering of birth, old age, sickness, and death, and save the suffering sentient beings, he resolutely gave up inheriting the throne and his virtuous wife and son, became a monk and practice, and sought the true meaning of life. After years of practice, he finally sat under the Bodhi tree for seven days and seven nights, defeating all kinds of evil temptations. When the heaven was about to dawn and the star was rising, he gained great enlightenment and finally became a Buddha."

"Oh, so that's it!" Sun Wukong and the others heard it and hurriedly said, "Since that's the case, let's all bow!" Several disciples said, and they all knelt down respectfully and worshiped at the Bodhi tree with Buddha's rituals. Gao Lan also bowed devoutly. The closer to Lingshan, the more she was, the expectation in her heart became more uncontrollable. She had been in the team for learning scriptures for ten years. Gao Lan practiced along the way, and didn't know what future she was waiting for.

Tang Monk also glanced at Gao Lan and said, "Advisors, it's still early, and you and my master and disciple are meditating under this Bodhi tree for half a day, and it's not too late to leave! The Buddha was enlightened here. Even if we can't compare, we have to use this holy realm to understand the Buddhist principles. "Gao Lan and the others agreed very much. Everyone found a place to sit down. Then they calmed down, closed their hands together, and entered meditation.

The sweet and warm river breeze blows, and occasionally you can hear the singing of birds in the distance. In addition, the scorching sun in summer passes through the tall tree canopy and sprinkles on the masters and apprentices.

Gao Lan meditated at this time, without practicing any skills, and gradually stopped thinking about seeking the right result. Sitting under the Bodhi tree, her heart, which seemed to have been a little hot all the way, calmed down again. The past fourteen years also appeared in her heart, from knowing Zhu Bajie to following Tang Seng and his disciples to travel west; from seeking his own immortal fate, to now, all the way to Lingshan.

It seems that compared to these things, the result is not comparable to the relationship between Tang Seng and his disciples and his own.

"Yes. With this relationship with Master and senior brothers, I no longer care about anything. If I get the right result, I will naturally be with them. If I don't get the right result, I will also be with them!" Seeing that the sun had passed noon, the weather showed a hint of heat in the afternoon. Gao Lan gradually woke up from meditation and looked into the distance calmly.

Tang Seng, Sun Wukong and others also woke up one after another, as if this meditation really made everyone's excitement calm.

"Advisors, let's go!"

The master and disciple calmed down their eagerness and then left the Bodhi tree together and continued to move towards Lingshan. Although the sun was scorching, no one felt hot anymore. After walking about ten miles, he suddenly felt a cool breeze blowing towards his face. The cool breeze was mixed with the foggy and fishy smell. Gao Lan had excellent ears and had heard the sound of waves.

"Master, there is a river!" As expected, he walked forward. He saw a wide river blocking the way. The river was about tens of miles wide, but the cliffs on both sides were extremely different. The cliffs were dozens of feet high and below, and the bottom was the turbulent river. The huge water flow could splash waves and pounce on the plants and trees on the shore. Tang Monk frowned: "Wukong, look at the river water so turbulent and there was no boat support, how could it be passed?"

"Hmm?" Sun Wukong put on a pergola in his hand and looked around and found a single-plank bridge. "Master, there is a bridge here!"

Tang Monk was happy at first, but when he got closer, his face turned pale: It turned out that the bridge was just made of wood as thick as a bowl, and was swept by the waves. It was wet and slippery, making people dare not even look at it. There was a plaque beside the bridge, which read "Lingyundu". Tang Monk said anxiously: "Wukong, how can this bridge be passed?" Sun Wukong thief smiled and hurriedly asked Sha Seng to help Tang Monk up: "Master, just be careful and you can get through it!"

As the two of them said, they set up Tang Monk and carefully stepped on the bridge deck. Unexpectedly, before taking a few steps, Tang Monk slid down and fell on the mud and grass on the shore! Fortunately, it was on the shore. If it fell in the middle of the river, it would be really gone but not back. Tang Monk was so scared that his face was full of sweat and shook his hands repeatedly: "Wukong, I can't get over it!" After hearing this, Sun Wukong pulled Bajie over.

"Master, let Bajie demonstrate to you first!"

"Ah?" Bajie's legs became weak when he heard this. "Forget it, Brother Monkey, we can go there." Sun Wukong said, "That's not possible. Only by walking from here is the right way!" As he said that, he pushed Bajie to the bridge, and Bajie was so scared that he slipped and hugged the wood tightly: "Help, help..." Tang Seng was about to criticize Wukong, but at this time, a boatman's singing came from a distance.

"Senior Brother, listen? Someone is singing!" Sha Seng hurriedly patted Sun Wukong. Sun Wukong opened his fire eyes and saw that someone was holding a small boat near the shore! Soon, Tang Seng and the others also saw the boat. The elder couldn't help but say joyfully: "It's great, there's a boat!" But before he finished his happiness, he couldn't help but feel bitter again: because when the boat rowed over, it was not at all.

"Wukong, how can this bottomless boat be able to ferry people?" Tang Monk quickly took a step back. But Sun Wukong said, "Master, have you not heard the song sing by the boatman just now? The boat is bottomless, only ferry people. Go up!" He said, without waiting for Tang Monk to react, he kicked him down! Tang Monk was just hanging his heart, not wanting to land on the boat, and after stepping on his feet, he actually stood on the boat.

On the flowing water beside the boat, a "corpse" of Tang Monk was floating down the water, which was shocked to the point of being speechless for a while. Just as Tang Monk was surprised, the boatman said, "Holy Monk, you have now left the mortal fetus, which is so gratifying!" Tang Monk reacted at this time, as if he had really felt a complete transformation after getting on the boat. He couldn't help but clasped his hands and said, "Amitabha!"

"Junior sister, this person who is carrying the boat is the guide Buddha from the West. You can also get on the boat and see, and you may be able to ask for a fairy body!" Sun Wukong saw that Tang Monk had already got on the boat, and couldn't help but push Gao Lan. After hearing this, Gao Lan stopped hesitating, jumped and jumped to the bottomless boat. Sure enough, she did not have the fairy aura, and she stood on the bottom of the void like Tang Monk.

And on the side of the boat, there were also "corpses" floating over, but not those of people like Tang Seng, but a little tiger more than one foot long and like a kitten! The little tiger floated along the waves, originally with a look of sorrow and tears, but after "seeing" Gao Lan, he finally closed his eyes peacefully. For a moment, Gao Lan's heart seemed to be stabbed by a feeling, and it hurt a little.

"This..." Gao Lan was shocked at this time. At this time, the Buddha looked at Gao Lan and laughed: "Hahaha, it turns out that the real spirit little tiger has arrived at the holy realm!" As he said, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, Sha Monk and Bailong Horse also flew to the side of the ship one after another. The Buddha looked at Gao Lan who was stunned and finally said: "Little girl, you have already had a disaster and can achieve your lifelong wish!"

"How many lifetimes' wishes?" Gao Lan looked at the Buddha who had already rocked the boat forward, but he still didn't know what was going on.

He led the Buddha and said, "Xiaolan, your predecessor was originally a real spirit little tiger at the foot of Lingshan Mountain in the West. Because of his innate body, he was bullied and ridiculed by his fellow tribes. The Buddha originally wanted to preach your supreme Buddhist teachings and transform them into you, but your real spirit little tiger is sad by nature and despise my Buddha's great teachings! Therefore, he was demoted from Lingshan and went through nine generations of disasters in the mortal world. Now he has regained the fate of immortality and is just around the corner to restore the golden body of the Buddha tiger!"

"So...so that's how it is?" Gao Lan looked at the masters and senior brothers around him and found that they were also incredible. He led the Buddha to shaking the boat and said, "I, Buddha, have transformed all living things and bliss all over the world. Now you have already gotten rid of the sadness of the innate shortcomings. You have traveled westward and are proactive and enterprising. The Buddha saw it. Xiaolan, it is also thanks to your own efforts."

"Thank you for your guidance from the Buddha." Gao Lan quickly clasped her hands and bowed for a while, but she couldn't calm down for a long time. Did she be a pessimistic and cold person before many lives? Gao Lan could hardly imagine that because her memory was only two lives. She had always been carefree in these two lives. Even though she was born lower than others and her life was not satisfactory, Gao Lan lived in such a heartless and optimistic and cheerful way.

It is easy to seek the Buddha's body, but it is difficult to seek the Buddha's heart. Gao Lan believes that the true spirit tiger before the ninth lifetime should not be a pessimistic and cold personality. Because it is itself, its innate defects and the oppression of life have made it lose its nature, but now Gao Lan has returned to the origin, because the power of Buddhism and immortal relationships has enabled her to regain confidence and the joy she has lost.

"Junior sister, congratulations." Sun Wukong said sincerely, and Bajie also hummed: "Madam, congratulations." Sha Seng also smiled: "Brother and second brother, right!" Tang Seng also laughed, "Everything is right, right!" Gao Lan took a deep breath and rubbed his eyes, "Master, since you should be happy to obtain the scriptures, why don't we sing with the Buddha, right?"
