Chapter 40: Easy to borrow and easy to return
"If this is the case, wouldn't it mean that both the cassock and the robe can be used to hide people's ears and eyes?"
"Isn't this wonderful cassock a family heirloom?"
When the monks in the monastery heard this, they all praised it and were all happy.
They all said, "Strong! Strong! Strong!"
"This plan is even more subtle!"
On the old monk's side, he sent the teachers of each class to gather firewood from the roof of the house and surround it around the meditation hall.
Although Wukong is also lying down in the room, he is pretending to be asleep, but in fact he is refining his energy.
His six senses were clear and he heard the footsteps of the person walking around the meditation hall and the sound of firewood ringing.
He had something in mind, "These monks finally have evil intentions and want to pretend to be thieves and robbers and murder my master and disciples?"
Thinking that he was like a carp standing up, he stood up and opened the door to take a look.
But he also thought that his master was not a heavy sleeper, and if he was tortured like this, he would wake up and lose sleep.
The gentle monkey simply transformed into a bee.
He flapped his thin wings, rode the wind, and got through the crack in the window and door to see clearly.
I saw the monks I had seen during the day carrying firewood one by one and surrounding the meditation hall, about to use the oil lamps to set fire.
The bee transformed by the traveler secretly smiled and said, "As expected by my master and disciple, these monks have evil intentions when they see that cassock and want to harm our lives."
"Even if his thoughts are so vicious, if I hit him with a stick..."
"No! No!"
Bee shook his head, "My master is a kind man, he cannot bear to see the tragedy happening in front of him."
"If I act wantonly, he should blame me for committing the crime."
"Since the monks here want to set fire, then we will use the trick and let them play with fire and burn themselves!"
Wukong somersaulted up to the Nantianmen.
The guards of the Thunder Gods beside the Nantian Gate were bored and yawned continuously.
They suddenly saw an immortal god coming to Nantianmen with such an unstable appearance. They were about to scold him, but when they took a closer look, they found that it was Sun Wukong.
Pang and Liu Gou immediately stood up to greet him, while Ma Zhao and Wen Guan took extra precautions.
They all said in unison, "The big thing is bad! The big thing is bad!"
"The master who caused such trouble in the Heavenly Palace is here again!"
Wukong shook his hand and said, "Excuse me, don't be alarmed. I came here to find the Guangmu Heavenly King."
Before he finished speaking, the King of Heaven had already arrived.
He greeted Wukong and said, "It's been a long time since we've been apart! It's been a long time since we've been apart!"
"A few days ago, I heard that Guanyin Bodhisattva came to see the Jade Emperor. He borrowed the four levels of merit, Six Ding Liujia, Gods Revealing the Truth, etc. He said that he was going to the Western Heaven to obtain scriptures from Tang Monk."
"He said that you became an apprentice with that Tang Monk. How could you have enough time to go to heaven today?"
Wukong said, "Don't chat, don't chat."
"My master, Tang Seng, is encountering bad guys right now. Someone wants to set him on fire."
"The matter is extremely urgent. I'm here to ask you to borrow the fire shield to save him."
"Don't talk idle words. Lend me your envoy. I'll return it in a moment when the work is done."
King Guangmu said, "You have come to the wrong place and found the wrong god."
"Since your master is dealing with someone who is setting fire to someone, you should use water to save him. Why does he need my fire shelter?"
Wukong said, "What do you know!"
"If you borrow water, the fire will not burn, but it will follow other people's wishes."
"I only need to lend you your cover to protect my master from injury. Why should I care about the rest? I should burn it all!"
"Bring it quickly! Bring it quickly!"
The King Guangmu laughed when he heard this and said, "Even if you, a monkey, enter the path of Buddhism, you will still have such an unwholesome mind!"
"Only care about yourself and don't care about others."
Sun Xingzhe said, "Give it to me quickly. Don't be so talkative. Who can bear the responsibility for this big trouble?"
When the King of Heaven heard Wukong's tone getting serious, he didn't dare not answer the question, and immediately handed the fire shield to Wukong.
Wukong takes it and presses the cloud head.
He landed directly on the roof of the Zen room, covering Li Fu, White Horse, and luggage.
And he went to the abbot's room where the old monk lived, paying attention to protecting the brocade cassock.
If this is the case, just watch from the sidelines.
Look at the monks in the monastery, all pushing down the oil lamps and lighting up the fire.
At this time, he was also twisting magic formulas with his hands, chanting incantations, and blowing them out in one breath.
The fire that was already ignited suddenly became more powerful.
Black smoke billows and red flames billow into the sky.
This is a man-made disaster, how can we withstand people who are helping others to do evil and deliberately adding fuel to the flames?
In a short time, the fireworks rose over a thousand feet, curling black smoke into the sky.
When Laojun started the furnace, he seemed to have no such momentum.
The fire in Epang palace is particularly outstanding.
Suddenly I didn’t know what was burning, but it was like the sound of firecrackers.
All the Buddha statues here were destroyed, and no one could escape.
I saw that in the Guanyin Temple, the red light reflected on the bald heads of the monks was even more comical.
They are like the mice in the barn, with no way out and no way out.
In the entire Zen courtyard, except for the Zen hall covered by a fire shelter and the abbot's residence where Wukong was sitting, everything was on fire.
However, unexpectedly, the sky-reaching flames alerted a nearby mountain spirit and wild monster.
He lived in Batu Caves, twenty miles away from Guanyin Monastery.
When he woke up and turned around, he suddenly saw the window was bright. He thought it was dawn at first, but it didn't look like it.
He left the Batu Caves and stood on the top of the Batu Mountain, only to see the fire in the northern sky.
He yelled, "No!"
"It's the Guanyin Temple that's on fire!"
"Why are these monks so careless!"
"I need to go save me!"
This fairy is also a master who can drive clouds and mist.
He jumped up, climbed up on the clouds, and rushed to the place where the fireworks were. Only then did he see the Guanyin Temple, a series of palaces and pavilions. It was already a mess.
Only black ashes remain of the building in the front yard.
The corridors are also filled with fireworks.
This goblin got off the clouds and bumped into the door, trying to call for water to put out the fire.
But he saw that there was no fire in the backyard, and someone was letting out wind on the roof.
He was going to catch the thief, but suddenly he saw the glow of light coming out of the abbot's room.
He broke into it and saw a cyan package on the table.
He looked around and saw a brocade cassock.
When he saw these rare Buddhist treasures, he was so tempted that he no longer tried to save the fire in the monastery, nor did he care whether there was water or not.
Taking advantage of the fire, riding on the clouds and blowing the mist, we returned to the Batu Caves.
The fire in the Zen courtyard has been burning for a long time, and it will not stop until dawn at the fifth watch.
The monks and monks were all embarrassed and crying.
Some rummaged through the ruins for gold and silver.
Some build temporary shelters on flat places.
Seeing that the matter was settled, Wukong took away the Fire Barrier and somersaulted to the Nantian Gate.
He said to King Guangmu, "Thank you! Thank you! This thing is very useful, very useful."
The Guangmu Heavenly King verified that it was indeed his fire shield. He smiled and said, "The Great Sage is the true and sincere immortal!"
"I just thought, if you, the Great Sage, don't return my treasure, how can I go find it? I never expected that the Great Sage would send it to me personally!"
Wukong was also happy to be called the Great Sage. He said, "What do you think of Lao Sun! I am that bastard who cheated in front of others?"
"I call it, 'It's easy to borrow and pay back, and it's not difficult to borrow again!'"
