Chapter 494 Tang Seng, can we not learn the scriptures?(1/2)

The team of Buddhist scriptures was in trouble. The mysterious green bull, holding the Vajra Circle in his hand, showed his power. With Sun Wukong's "boost", it caused a sensation in the three realms and attracted the attention of gods and Buddhas all over the sky, including Yao Chi, who has not intervened from beginning to end but has always been paying close attention to this matter.

"The soldiers are unable to win, and water and fire are hard to get close to... Apart from Laojun's Vajra Carving, I can't think of any magic weapon with such power."

In the Yaochi Hall, the Queen Mother, dressed in golden crowns and a Taoist nun wearing a brocade hat and a collar and a gold robe, talked about this and expressed her thoughts.

The nun smiled and said, "I'm afraid Laojun is not going to use this time to set up a disaster and lift the might of Lihentian."

The Queen Mother said: "You have finished singing, we have appeared, and we have started our journey to learn from the scriptures, and we have been like this."

The nun stopped responding and was still in a state of excitement.

The Queen Mother looked at her meaningfully and seemed to ask casually: "Fellow Daoist Vilan hasn't participated in the Buddha's Longhua Club for many years?"

The nun was Vilava Bodhisattva. When she heard the Queen Mother’s question, her expression remained unchanged and she replied casually: “Some years have passed, as a Buddhist, and I have been to the Ullambana every five hundred years. I have devoted myself to the seclusion of mysticism over the years. Except for the occasional walk to you, the Empress, I do not want to see outsiders again.”

The Queen Mother knew that this old friend had a strange temperament and that the Buddhist sect was in chaos many years ago. She had a rift with the Buddha, so she stopped asking in depth and said with a smile: "If I hadn't sent the blue bird to invite him for three times, I'm afraid you wouldn't have come to my Yaochi."

The Bodhisattva did not deny it, saying, "Now the pursuit of the sutra is a major event in the three realms. All parties have participated in the planning. There is no one outside the world. I don't want to miss it if there is a chance to join the grand ceremony."

The Queen Mother nodded with a smile and asked, "How do the Bodhisattva think we should set this disaster?"

Bodhisattva Vilanpo said, "Since the Empress has already made a decision, there is no need to ask me anymore. If you say I will do whatever you want."

The Queen Mother didn't care, and indeed expressed her plan: "As the saying goes, "Heroes are sad to pass the beauty', and there is also the saying "Since ancient times, only love is the most sad." The team of people who have visited the scriptures had never experienced love kalpas. The Bodhisattva and I might as well set this kalpa for him."

Bodhisattva Vilanpo said: "I remember that the person from Mount Li and Guanyin, Samantabhadra and Manjushri had done this before."

The Queen Mother waved her hand and said, "That's just a simple taste, and she tried it with ordinary beauty and a wealth of wealth. She didn't take the Buddhist son seriously. Even the Marshal Tianpeng was perfunctory."

"How should the empress be arranged in her opinion?"

The Queen Mother held the ears of the Bodhisattva and whispered, and the Bodhisattva Vilanpo nodded and said, "This plan is very wonderful!"

The two agreed that each return department would make arrangements.

Soon, two long rainbows, one red and one black, projected down from Yaochi and Ziyun Mountain, and descended to the Western Liang Kingdom.

...

A black-sailed boat went downstream, and the monk who came and went to the west to obtain scriptures from the East Tu Tang Dynasty to the West to obtain scriptures stood at the bow of the boat, looked into the distance, and asked after a while: "Disciples, where is the front?"

Sun Wukong put his hands on his forehead, looked away, and said, "There is a big city ahead, I think I have entered another country."

Tang Sengdao: "I don't know which country I'm going to again."

Zhu Bajie continued: "No matter which country it is, just eat good wine and food with us, and exchange the pass certificate for Master."

Tang Sengdao: "When it comes to wine and food, I am really thirsty. Wukong, give me some water to drink."

Wukong took out the purple gold bowl and scooped a bowl of water in the river and handed it to Tang Seng. Tang Seng drank half of it, and Bajie was going to drink it again, and drank most of the remaining ones. After drinking it, he asked Wukong and Sha Seng: "Brother Monkey, Junior Brother Sha, do you drink it?"

Wukong said: "Old Sun can't drink water when he walks this distance."

Sha Seng also shook his hand and refused.

The boat went downstream, and not long after, Tang Seng and Bajie began to have stomachache and their stomachs gradually became bigger.

The two of them were both in pain and shock, just screaming.

Tang Monk shouted: "Wukong saves me!"

Zhu Bajie had a lot of words in his mouth and he kept shouting. Then Wukong remembered Guo Dalu's reminder before parting: "Don't drink the river water!"

He secretly cried out in his heart and quickly took the pulse of his master and junior brother. This diagnosis was even more shocking. The master and junior brother were actually happy with the pulse and were pregnant.

"Congratulations to Master, congratulations to Bajie, you are not poisoned, but happy!" Wukong said.

When Tang Monk and Zhu Bajie heard this, they were both confused. Bajie cried and said, "Brother Monkey, don't mess with me. If I am pregnant, how can I give birth?"

Goku said: "I guess I can give birth from my armpit."

Sha Seng, who was standing beside him, said: "Master, second brother, do you like sourness and spicy food now?"

Tang Seng said bitterly: "Wukong, Wujing, don't tease me and Bajie again, think of a way to let me get rid of this fetus."

Bajie reminded: "You must be careful and don't get angry."

Wukong and Sha Seng couldn't help laughing again, and Tang Seng said: "You fool, don't talk nonsense anymore!"

Seeing that his master was in pain, Wukong stopped joking and looked around. He happened to see a thatched house on the shore not far away. An old lady was sitting in the open space in front of the house. Wukong blinked and recognized the old lady's true body. Naturally, he would not point it out and said, "There is a family over there, let's go and ask first."

After moving the boat to the dock, Wukong and Sha Seng helped Tang Seng and Bajie get off the boat. Wukong greeted the mother-in-law and asked, "Dare you ask the female Bodhisattva, what is the realm here and what river is this?"

The old woman said, "This is the boundary of Xiliang. Because there is no man in the country, it is also called 'Domestic Kingdom'..."

The old lady pointed to the river and said, "This river is called the Mother and Mother River."

"Mother and Child River?"

"That's right, the mother-child river... Any woman who drinks this water can get pregnant after she becomes an adult, and she will get pregnant in a moment. Look at your two companions, I think she has drunk the river water and is pregnant."

Wukong said: "That's right! That's right! Female Bodhisattva, can there be a solution to the conception of this river water?"

The old lady said, "Something is there, but..." She looked at Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, "But I don't know if you want to use it."

Tang Seng and Bajie said in unison: "If you want to use it, please tell the female Bodhisattva quickly, and you will remember the great kindness!"

The old woman looked at Tang Seng and said, "As a monk, can the master know the reason why the Buddha loves sentient beings?"

Tang Monk was determined to solve the method of pregnancy, nodded after hearing this, and said, "When the female Bodhisattva has relieved the fetus for me, I will discuss the Buddhist scriptures and Zen principles with the female Bodhisattva."

The old lady smiled slightly and said, "The master also follows the Buddha and loves sentient beings. The master should know that the fetus in your womb is also one of the sentient beings. If you want to have an abortion, you will kill."

When Tang Seng heard this, he was stunned: "This..."

Wukong stood quietly aside, looking at the old woman silently.

Tang Monk pondered, and Bajie kept shouting: "Please beg the girl Bodhisattva to beat me. If I give birth to a pig fetus today, I will never be ashamed to see anyone again."

The old lady nodded and stood up and said, "Stay for a moment." As she said that, she turned around and entered the room, and brought a bowl of water out for Zhu Bajie to drink. In the blink of an eye, Bajie's stomach disappeared, clapped her hands happily and bowed to the mother-in-law to thank him.

The mother-in-law smiled and nodded, brought the water to Tang Seng, and asked, "So master, do you drink this water or not?"

Tang Seng was stunned again, staring at the mother-in-law with her eyes trembling and her expression was extremely complicated.

"A moment later, the fetus will be born, and the master must make a decision quickly."

Tang Monk showed pain on his face, and his right arm trembled to pick up his mother-in-law's bowl. He stretched it out halfway, but could not continue, and hung in the air, hesitating.

Since entering Buddhism and practicing, this has undoubtedly been the most difficult level he has encountered.

Either kill or live.

The mother-in-law's voice sounded in her ears again: "This abortion water is like a butcher's knife. The master can also pick up the butcher's knife and kill animals first, then put down the butcher's knife and become a Buddha on the ground. This is not contrary to the Buddhist principles."

How could Tang Seng not hear the sarcasm in these words? Sweat beads oozing out of his forehead.

All the three disciples said nothing and waited for the master to make a choice.

As people in the practice of cultivation, they knew that this was the most critical moment for the old monk. Once the choice was wrong and the spiritual flaw was left, it would not only be in vain for the practice of this life, but it might also affect the subsequent practice.

Tang Monk raised his sleeve to wipe away the sweat beads, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "If I choose to give birth to the fetus, how can the female Bodhisattva help me?"

The mother-in-law smiled and said, "It's also this bowl of water."

Tang Monk was puzzled.

The mother-in-law handed the bowl to Tang Seng, "Drink this bowl of water and you will have your own fruit."

Tang Monk acted as he said, drank the bowl of water all over, and suddenly the pain began to occur in his abdomen. He opened his mouth and vomited it. A golden cicada as big as a thumb flew out of his mouth. The mother-in-law stretched out her hand and took it away, saying, "I have helped you break the greatest mental disaster to practice. This golden cicada is used as a thank you."

Tang Monk looked confused, and then Wukong pointed at his abdomen and said, "Master, look!"

Tang Monk looked down and found that his abdomen had recovered as usual. He hurriedly bowed to the mother-in-law and thanked him. The mother-in-law shook her head and waved her hand, and said, "There is Xiliang City fifty miles ahead, so I won't leave you all."

The team of the Buddhist scriptures said goodbye to the old lady and continued to rush forward. When they walked away, the old lady and the thatched hut disappeared.

...

The back garden of Xiliang Palace.

The graceful and noble Queen sat on the side with her hands on the stone table, holding the chin in her left hand, looking at the spring scenery in the garden, dazed.

Somehow, I dreamed of the same song in succession these nights. Regardless of the lyrics and songs, the song was lingering and touching, and it made people's hearts move, especially when they were dreaming at midnight, which made people feel tender and tossed and turned. Once they woke up, they would inevitably be sad and ecstasy.

The songs in the dream, the scenery in the dream, and the people in the dream are extremely clear, as if they have actually happened.

If she could really meet that "holy monk" and could be "closely with him", she would give up the throne without hesitation, but where was that holy monk?

Just as Her Majesty the Queen was secretly moved and sat alone in love, the female Grand Master came to report: "I heard from Your Majesty that four races came from the Tang Dynasty in the city, claiming that they were monks who came from the East and the Tang Dynasty and wanted to go to the West to obtain scriptures. They passed by their country and requested to change the pass certificate."

Upon hearing this, the queen suddenly stood up, looked at the Grand Master, and said, "The Holy Monk has arrived!"

The Grand Master said "Yeah" in a daze.

"So quickly pass them into the palace!" The queen was immediately excited, and her expression was a little excited.

The Grand Master took the order and left.

...

Not long after, Her Majesty the Queen of Xiliang met the little monk from Dongtu in the hall. When she saw the handsome and handsome monk with a handsome appearance and a robes, she knew that from now on, her heart would no longer be her own.

That holy monk brother is even more perfect than in his dream!
