Chapter 1 Westbound Road, Junction
By the way, there was a monk in the Tang Dynasty called Tang Sanzang. He was the brother of Emperor Taizong of Tang. When Tang Sanzang was in Chang'an, he received the decree of Guanyin Bodhisattva and was ordered to go to the West to worship Buddha and seek sutras.
On the way west, there are mostly monsters and monsters.
There is also a legend that after eating Tang Monk's meat, he can live forever and live in heaven.
Therefore, Tang Sanzang's journey to the west was not peaceful, and ordinary people could not walk with him at all.
He took over his eldest disciple Sun Wukong at the foot of the Five Elements Mountain.
Sun Wukong made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago and was an amazing strong man. He could talk to all the immortals and Buddhas of heaven.
The Buddha Tathagata mainly arranged Sun Wukong as the Taoist protector of Tang Sanzang.
Tang Sanzang took over Sun Wukong. When he passed by Yingchoujian, the white horse under his seat was eaten by the little white dragon.
Guanyin Bodhisattva came forward and turned the little white dragon into a white horse and became Tang Sanzang's mount.
Later, Tang Sanzang accepted his second disciple Zhu Bajie in Gaolaozhuang and his third disciple Sha Wujing in Liusha River.
Since then, the master and disciple, four people and one horse, embarked on the road of traveling west to obtain the scriptures.
...
On this day, Tang Monk and his disciples walked through the wilderness and saw a towering mountain in the distance.
Tang Monk rode on the horse and said to Sun Wukong who was holding the horse, "Wukong, see if there are people nearby. Go and ask, what mountain is in front of you? Can we pass today?"
Sun Wukong has great skills, and one somersault can be a hundred and eight thousand miles away.
So in normal times, Tang Seng gave Sun Wukong the things he asked Lu Huazhai and other things to do.
Sun Wukong held the horse in his right hand and carried the Ruyi Golden Cudgel on his shoulder with his left hand. After hearing Tang Seng's order, he laughed and said, "Master, there is someone in front of you, let's go over and ask."
Tang Monk followed Sun Wukong's gaze and saw a young man wearing a simple green gown walking slowly in the distance.
Because the distance is too far, Tang Monk's mortal fetus with naked eyes, if he had not been reminded by Sun Wukong, he would not have discovered this person.
"Then let's go over and ask."
Tang Seng said, and specifically reminded his three disciples: "You must not be rash, don't scare passers-by."
He knew very well that these three disciples were not ordinary people.
Ordinary mortals will be frightened when they see them, let alone make trouble.
Zhu Bajie, who was fat and big-eared, held a rake in his hand, immediately said: "Master, please tell me this to the elder brother. Lao Sha and I are both honest people."
Tang Monk ignored Zhu Bajie.
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing are indeed not like Sun Wukong, but it would be a joke to say that they are honest people.
"Idiot, what Master mainly talks about is you, I am afraid that you will scare others like this ugly."
Sun Wukong laughed at Zhu Bajie, and then led the horse for Tang Monk to chase the passers-by in the distance.
Sun Wukong was impatient and was still a little far from the young man, so he shouted loudly: "Donor, stay!"
In the wilderness, a stranger suddenly called him like this, either seeking money or killing him.
Tang Monk was afraid that Sun Wukong would be shocked by passers-by, so he hurriedly explained loudly: "We are monks from the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu and want to ask the donor for directions."
The young people in front stopped and stood there waiting for them.
After Tang Monk came over, he got off the horse's back, walked to the young man, put his palms together, and performed a Buddhist ceremony.
"Donor, I am polite here!"
The young man did not return the gift, but asked: "You are a monk from the Tang Dynasty in Dongtu. Why did you appear in such a barren mountain?"
Tang Monk immediately explained: "We, the four masters and disciples, went to the West to worship Buddha and pray for scriptures, and happened to pass here."
Sun Wukong looked at the young man and his eyes turned flexibly: "Why do you appear here alone?"
He has ignorant eyes, so it can be seen that this young man is not a monster.
However, a mortal appears here, which is obviously more suspicious.
Tang Seng glanced at Sun Wukong helplessly.
They came here to ask for directions, but why did Sun Wukong start to question others?
He has something to say first, but it is useless.
"Wukong, we are here to ask for directions."
Tang Monk reminded Sun Wukong not to be troublesome.
It is indeed suspicious that an ordinary person appears in the wilderness, but they come to ask for directions and are entangled in this, and they can't do their business anymore.
"Donor, what is the mountain ahead? What is the place on the other side of the mountain?"
Seeing that Tang Seng was so polite, the young man had a good attitude and replied: "Elder Tang, the mountain in front is called the Two Realms Mountain. After passing the Two Realms Mountain, it is the junction."
"The border is full of unruly people. They disrespect gods and Buddhas and only believe in their queen Marika."
"The elder has no power to tie a chicken. When he meets those unruly people, he is afraid that it will be difficult to save his life. So he should avoid it quickly."
"Don't respect Gods and Buddhas!" Tang Monk was surprised.
In this world, gods and Buddhas are high above and above the sky.
It is the first time that ordinary mortals either worship Taoism or believe in Buddhism. Tang Monk heard of such a troublemaker who disrespects gods and Buddhas.
As for the Two Realms Mountain, Tang Seng had encountered it before, and there were still duplicate names in the world, let alone place names, so he was not surprised.
Sun Wukong sneered and said proudly: "You are really a person who doesn't know Mount Tai."
"My master is powerless, but I, Lao Sun, are not."
"Five hundred years ago, my old grandson also made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace and fought with the gods and Buddhas in that heaven."
"It's just a group of unruly people, what's the point!"
The unruly people mentioned by young people can scare ordinary people, but Sun Wukong dares to fight even gods and Buddhas, how could he take it to heart?
The young man didn't care about Sun Wukong's words and said calmly: "Ordinary unruly people are indeed not scary, but there are cruel people at the border."
"There is a person who is at the border, killing people whenever she sees them, killing from the south to the north, and all the rabbits passing by her will be stabbed."
"If you meet her, please beg for your own blessing!"
The young man said, shook his head gently.
Tang Monk was shocked and turned into a state of horror: "There is such a murderous devil!"
Sun Wukong smiled and said, "I met her, I'm afraid she wants to be blessed."
The young man shook his head: "It's hard to persuade the damn ghost."
"Since you are not afraid of the unlucky people in the border area, then you can go."
After the words came to an end, the young man disappeared out of thin air.
"Huh--"
Tang Seng was surprised and hurriedly asked Sun Wukong beside him: "Wukong, is this the immortal god in the sky here to warn us?"
Sun Wukong has fiery eyes and golden eyes that can see through all the illusions.
If the young man just now was really a disguise of an immortal god, Sun Wukong should have seen his identity long ago.
Sun Wukong also showed a look of doubt: "This person just now is indeed not an ordinary mortal, but I know all the immortals and gods who are so capable in heaven."
"I have never seen this one before."
Speaking of this, Sun Wukong was also a little puzzled.
When he was just looking at that young man, he really regarded that young man as a mortal at first.
"So do we want to take a detour?"
Tang Monk was a little hesitant.
Sun Wukong waved the Ruyi Golden Cudgel in his hand: "No matter whether he is a group of unruly people or a group of demons and monsters, I will sweep it with one blow."
