Chapter 183 Broken Golden Body
The monks in Wenshu Temple were attracted by the power, looking at people, not knowing how many heroes who came to stay, not knowing how many heroes who missed to worship Buddha, and asked him to be the monks in this temple. Tang Monk felt a sense of gloating. Seeing that the monks went to the back, Tang Monk saw that there was no one around, and then followed him into the back door. The monks returned to the meditation room, took off their clothes, and sat there angrily. There were some paper letters on the table in front. I didn't know whether it was chanting scriptures or writing rituals with others.
Tang Monk stood in the courtyard, bowed and shouted, "Lord Master, I'm asking for help!" The monk saw that Tang Monk followed in, and was quite angry, and did not get up. He replied half-answer, "Where are you from? Why did you come in with me casually?" Tang Monk said, "Disciple, the Great Tang Dynasty, who sent me to the West to worship Buddha and pray for scriptures. After the treasure night, I asked for a night to borrow. I will go forward without violating the sky tomorrow. I hope the owner of the old man will be convenient." The monk had heard of Tang Monk's reputation, so I looked up and down.
Seeing that Tang Monk was indeed very handsome and full of air, he stood up and said, "Are you that Tang Monk?" Tang Monk said, "I dare not, my disciple." The monk said, "You have never walked when you went to the West to obtain scriptures, why can't you walk?" Tang Monk said, "I only know that you can't walk all the way west, why can't you walk?" The monk said, "That's right now, from now on, it's only four or five miles away. There is a thirty-mile shop with people selling food in the store, which is convenient and easy to stay. It's not convenient for me to stay here, so it's not easy for you monks from afar."
Tang Monk put his hands together and said, "The master of the courtyard, the ancients said, the temples are all the inns of my monks. When I saw the mountain gate, I had three liters of rice. Why didn't you keep me? But what do you think?" The monk shouted angrily: "You monks who are traveling around are all slick!" Tang Monk said, "What is slick?" The monk said, "The ancients said, when a tiger entered the city, every family was closed. Although it did not bite people, it had a bad reputation a few days ago. A few days ago, a few monks came to sit at the gate of the mountain. I saw that he was cold and thin, and they were all dressed and had no clothes and barefoot. I sighed that he was so ragged, so I hurriedly invited me to come in and sit on it. After entertaining the vegetarian meal, I borrowed one of the old clothes for him.
He kept him for a few days. He didn't know that he was greedy for food and clothing here, and he didn't even think about it. He lived there for two or three years. If he lived there, he would have lived there, but he caused me to be scolded and almost lost the salary." Tang Monk said in confusion: "Why did you call you scold?" The monk said: "This temple was built by my king of Wuji Kingdom. It uses the money of the kingdom and the taxes of the people. However, once the king came to me, he saw those monks. Seeing that they were eating and drinking for free and not worshipping me, he was angry and exiled them to the army and even scolded me. Until now, he dared not leave you, the monks passing by."
When Tang Monk heard the words, he smiled in his heart: "It turns out that the monks in the Wuji Kingdom all look the same. Where can they be enlightened by monks?" He was afraid that the old monk in the temple was angry with him, so he secretly covered his mouth and nose with his sleeves, walked out of the gate, and saw three disciples. When Wukong saw Tang Monk's expression strange, he stepped forward and asked, "Master, the monk in the temple beats you?" Tang Monk said: "I haven't beat you." Wukong said: "Have you ever scolded you?" Tang Monk said: "I haven't beat you, and I haven't scolded you. Why do you have such an expression?"
Tang Monk was determined and excited the Monkey King, so he said, "Advisor, I went in and asked, it was not convenient for us to stay here, so let's go quickly." Wukong smiled and said, "I think it's a Taoist priest here, so don't you ask the monk to go in?" Tang Monk said, "There is only Taoist priest in the temple, and there are only monks in the temple." Wukong said, "That makes no sense, but monks are like us. As the saying goes, since they are all destined to stay in the Buddha's meeting, so why don't he ask us to go in and rest? Please sit and wait for me to go in and take a look."
A good practitioner, pressed the golden hoop on the top, tied a skirt around his waist, and clung to the iron rod, and was about to break into the Wenshu Temple. He was stopped by Tang Monk and said, "Wukong, we are away from home, we are not familiar with the place, and we must not be bullied or rolled by others. As long as we have a bite of food, we are already content. He will not keep us. We will go forward and don't bother them anymore." Wukong said, "Master, you are too arrogant and think that you are the nine-generation reincarnation of the Golden Cicadazizi. If you have the golden body, you may be on par with the Manjushri in the hall. Do you still have to be angry with these ordinary monks? Master, don't stop me, look at me and teach them a lesson."
Tang Monk said: "I am me, Manjushri is Manjushri, how can we compare? Besides, this is the Manjushri Bodhisattva temple. If we make trouble here, we may make the Bodhisattva dislike it." Wukong was aroused by Tang Monk and said: "Master, don't be too humble. Your self-worth is so powerful that we can't raise our heads even more. Though this is the Manjushri Bodhisattva's temple, it is not Manjushri Bodhisattva who came here in person. The statue of the god is just a clay sculpture. Don't say anything disrespectful. Even if you smash them, Manjushri Bodhisattva will not dare to say anything about me." Tang Monk laughed secretly and said: "Since that's the case, I will go in with you, don't let you cause trouble."
So Sun Wukong followed Tang Monk to the first entrance door. When he saw the statue of the Vajra, Tang Monk pretended to say to himself, "These two Vajras, I was shocked as soon as I came in." The monkey snorted coldly, "Little Vajra, dare to scare my master." Looking at the monkey, he took out the golden cudgel, jumped up and smashed the Vajra. Tang Monk saw it, but he was also shocked. He thought that the monkey and Lan Deng blocked the Nantian Gate and had a good temper. Even Wenshu Temple dared to smash it. But this is good. Anyway, it was not the thing that was smashed by his own house. Everyone said that watching the fun was not a big deal, so he would watch it well today.
Thinking that the master and apprentice came to the second gate, there were four great Vajras here. The four great Vajras were cold-eyed and looked majestic. Sun Wukong didn't wait for Tang Seng to speak, and sneered again: "You four are everywhere. When you see my old Sun here, you have to bow and bow. Why is this clay statue difficult for my master? It's also time to beat me." Seeing Wukong jumped up and smashed the statue of the Four Heavenly Kings.
After leaving the door, Tang Monk and Wukong went straight to the main hall and pointed to the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, saying, "You are originally a clay sculpture of gold, aren't there any response inside? My old Sun guaranteed the Tang Dynasty's holy monk to the west to worship Buddha and seek the true scriptures. I came here to stay here tonight. You didn't leave me. Look at me, I also smashed your golden body with a stick, and I will show you the original appearance of mud!" The great saint was showing his power in front of him, which had already alarmed the monks in the temple. He hurried out to watch, but saw the two Vajras in front, and the four Heavenly King statues were all destroyed. Now he was still shouting to break the statue of Manjushri Bodhisattva, and hurried over to stop him. But as soon as he came over, he saw Sun Wukong's hairy face and thunderbolt mouth. He was so scared that he thought it was a monster coming, and he ran into the back to report to the monk.
In such a big event, the monk broke into the monk's Zen room without regard for etiquette and reported: "Master, a monk broke in outside!" The monk had already taken off his clothes and was about to rest, but was disturbed by the monk. He said angrily: "You should be beaten! I told him to look for a place to live, so why should I report it? Go out quickly, don't disturb my rest!" The monk said: "Master, this monk is different from that monk. He has round eyes, looked up his ears, his face is full of hair, and his mouth is thunder, holding a stick in his hand, gritting his teeth and resentful, very ferocious. When I came in, I had already broken all the statues of the four Vajra Heavenly Kings in the front hall, and now I have to hit the golden body of Manjushri Bodhisattva."
Hearing this, the monk was stunned and almost fell off the bed, saying, "This Wenshu Temple was built by the emperor. A few days ago, I raised a monk who had eaten and drunk for free, and even scolded me. Now he has broken my statue. Your Majesty should not chop off my head. Go and summon all the monks in the temple and surround them soon. Don't tell them to leave, wait for me to go out to see."
The monk's official hurriedly got up, put on some clothes casually, and opened the door and ran out stumbled out. He saw Sun Wukong standing in front of the Dharma image of Manjushri Bodhisattva, pointing at the golden body and scolding. Then he looked at Wukong's very ugly appearance: he was so tall and lonely that he had a lonely face, two yellow eyes, and one bowed his forehead; his fangs were growing out, just like a crab, with flesh inside and bone outside, which scared the monk's official to turn around and run away.
Wukong had long seen the monk's official run away, and smiled, used a magic trick, pulled the monk's official in front of him, and said, "Cleaning a thousand houses clean and sleeping for me Lao Sun!" The monk's official was so scared that he struggled randomly, but he was like a swaying tree, struggling, and struggling. Finally, he could only say: "I have no more than three hundred rooms here, but there are no more than one thousand rooms?" As soon as the monk said, he realized that the monster broke his Buddha statue and did not ask him for guilt. Why did he follow his words? If the king knew about this, his monk's official would be unable to do it.
Looking at the monk again, he was willing to give up his clothes, and he broke free from Wukong's control for a while, ran to the monks and shouted, "Where are you from? You dare to act wildly in front of Manjushri Bodhisattva. I advise you to surrender. I might even give you a lighter shot. If you are obsessed with it, I have five hundred arhats here, who will beat you to death and throw you out of the mountain gate." When Wukong heard this, he laughed and said nothing, but threw the golden cudgel out, becoming as thick as a pillar of heaven, standing straight in the courtyard. The monks looked straight and kept retreating.
The monk was also afraid, but if he ran away at this time, the others were fine, but he was chased by the emperor and couldn't run away. So the monk pretended to be brave and shouted: "Don't be afraid, that monster is just one person. You rush up, hug and tie it up, and see where he runs." But the monk said this, and then looked at the monks, they all retreated, and how dare you go forward. The monk said angrily: "Master, it's not that we are timid. If there are robbers and thieves, even hundreds of them will dare to go up and fight to the death. But the monster in front of him is afraid that it is not a mortal. Not to mention the big stick, just fall down and get out, and we will become meat pie together with this temple. So who dares to go up!"
Wukong heard the disputes inside the monk and thought to himself, "These monks are really hard-working. If they just beat one with one stick, Tang Monk blamed me for committing murder. Let me wait for another to find another to see them, and make them afraid of it, so they will naturally surrender." Wukong thought, and suddenly looked up and saw a stone lion outside the door, two feet high, carved from white jade. He immediately saw the hunting heart happy, directed the golden cudgel to fly upwards and then pestle down, hitting the stone lion, which was broken and broken. The monks saw it, frightened to see the bones and muscles, and they didn't dare to move. But Wukong was not satisfied yet, so he pested the golden cudgel again, but he was pestle on the main hall, shattering the golden body and magic of Manjushri Bodhisattva.
Only then did the monks realize that Sun Wukong had great supernatural powers and had no scruples. He really dared to destroy the Manjushri Bodhisattva Dharma. He even dared to beat him to death. Wouldn't it be a joke? The monk official didn't care about what happened afterwards and hurriedly said, "Grandpa, don't do it again. I'm afraid that this Wenshu Temple will be flat!" Wukong said, "Monk, I won't hit you. I'll ask you: How many monks are there in this temple?" The monk official said in a row: "There are two hundred and eighty-five monks in front and behind, and there are five hundred monks with certificates." Wukong said, "Go and tidy up all the five hundred monks, put on long clothes, and welcome my master in, and I won't hit you."
Sun Wukong's fight had already alarmed the monks of all sizes of the two corridors. At this moment, they all gathered here to watch. After hearing Wukong's orders, they hurried back to their own meditation rooms, found out their clothes to put on, and put them in order, and then set up a shift to greet them.
At this time, Tang Monk was a little embarrassed and said to Wukong: "You are too show off. You broke the statue of Manjushri and then hit me. Why do you still have to ask the monks to come and greet me?" Wukong smiled and said, "This is not enough to show your identity. Master, don't worry about it. Some of them will be watched by the old grandson." After Wukong said, he asked Tang Monk to sit on a high place, and then escorted the monks and knelt down below. The monk kowtowed and shouted: "Master Tang, please sit inside." Tang Monk said, "I've sat down, but outside.
There were also two of my disciples, who were as fierce as the one who held the stick. You should bring them in." When the monks heard this, they were frightened and hurriedly got up and ran outside. The horses were led by horses, the loads, carrying Bajie, and the monks, all went into the mountain gate. Someone had arranged their residence. However, in the dark night, the monk found a secluded place, called his confidant, and gave a few instructions. The confidant found a fast horse and headed straight for the royal city.
