Chapter 3 Wishes
Everyone had a bowl of dumplings, and everyone was very tacitly experiencing it and didn't say anything. It seemed that they were carefully savoring these round dumplings. "Master, when we obtained the scriptures and sent them back to the Tang Dynasty, what do you plan to do in the future?" Zhu Bajie had a big mouth and a large belly. He drank a bowl of dumplings and a few sips of soup and water.
Tang Sanzang chuckled softly, then poured the dumplings in the bowl into the empty bowl of Zhu Bajie and said, "I can't eat so much, you have a big stomach, eat more." After pouring all the bowls to Zhu Bajie, Tang Sanzang gently put down the bowls and said, "I have never thought about it, but since Bajie asked about it, I will think about it."
Zhu Bajie was a little stunned when he looked at the dumplings in the bowl, but he did not refuse. Instead, he picked up the chopsticks and added a piece in his mouth, and actually tasted them carefully. This was definitely very rare for Zhu Bajie, because no matter what he ate, he always fell directly into his stomach. But Lao Sha next to him knew that as long as the food was given by his master, the second senior brother would chew it slowly."
Not letting the three of them wait too long, Tang Sanzang looked at Mingyue outside the window and said, "It should be a place where all the world is, after all, the sentient beings in the world are not just the people of the Tang Dynasty. I hope that the true scriptures of the West can save more people from the sea of suffering. Since Bajie asked him, then Bajie also asked him, what would you do then?"
Zhu Bajie said without thinking: "Go back to Gaolaozhuang, and then live a good life with my Cuilan, and spend a variety of places, and then give my father-in-law a caregiver to see him off." Sun Wukong, who was standing beside him, burst into laughter and said: "If your father-in-law hears this, you will be angry to death. I think you are greedy for other people's fertile land and property, right?"
Zhu Bajie immediately said furiously, "Don't talk nonsense, you monkey who is suffering from plague, Lao Zhu, I will tell you, even if Cuilan's family is left alone, I will still go back, this property is okay." Seeing that the second senior brother and the eldest senior brother were about to quarrel again, Sha Wujing hurriedly advised, "Senior Brother and Second Senior Brother, don't quarrel." Tang Sanzang also advised: "Okay, Wukong, let alone Bajie, Bajie also values love and righteousness. Bajie has all told his future plans, what about Wukong and Wujing?"
Sun Wukong thought for a while and said, "It should be back to Huaguo Mountain, right? After all, when I made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, I agreed to the little monkeys, saying that the Monkey King would go back and let them wait for me at home. But this time, it was more than 500. To be honest, since I left Huaguo Mountain and made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace that day, I have not been back to Huaguo Mountain for a total of ten days."
Tang Sanzang and others knew Sun Wukong’s longing for Huaguo Mountain, so as long as he was free, Tang Sanzang would secretly ask Sun Wukong to go back to Huaguo Mountain to take a look, but most of the time, he was involuntarily.
"I don't have any idea. I don't have any worries anyway. I will go wherever my master goes, so that I can continue to take care of my master and continue to listen to my master's teachings."
Sha Wujing was right. When he was working in the Heavenly Court, he was alone and had no relatives in the Liusha River for no reason. In fact, Sha Wujing hated Liusha River very much, not only because the ten thousand arrows pierced the heart every day, but also because there was no food in the Liusha River. Sha Wujing also started eating people from that time, because if he didn't eat people, he would starve to death. After all, for Sha Wujing, it was not a home, but a prison, and he was like this day and night. His body was like this. In his heart, a cage full of despair was filled with despair.
For Sha Wujing, Tang Sanzang was his life-saving benefactor, the benefactor who allowed him to be liberated, and the god who rescued Sha Wujing from the endless hell. In Sha Wujing's heart, his life was long overdue. As long as the master needed it, he could sacrifice himself for Tang Sanzang at any time.
Although Tang Sanzang was also a life-saving benefactor for Sun Wukong, Sha Wujing was different. Even if Tang Sanzang did not appear, when five hundred years came, Sun Wukong could be liberated from the suppression of Wuzhishan. Because Sun Wukong was not an ordinary god and Buddha, he was transformed by five-colored divine stones.
The five-colored divine stone is the guarantee for maintaining the normal operation of the world. It can be said that Sun Wukong is one with the heavenly way. Moreover, the five-colored divine stone is an immortal thing. Even Nuwa only refined the five-colored divine stone to repair the sky, but she could not let the five-colored divine stone melt into the sky. Therefore, Sun Wukong is also an immortal person.
Being able to suppress Sun Wukong for a full five hundred years is already the limit of Tathagata.
Otherwise, if ordinary gods violate the law of heaven, they would be extremely guilty. However, Sun Wukong even smashed the Lingxiao Palace of the Jade Emperor and sat on the dragon throne, but he was suppressed for five hundred years. This kind of punishment can be completely ignored in the eyes of all gods.
You should know that the Jade Emperor has achieved enlightenment in practice, but he has practiced for a total of 1,750 kalpas, and each kalpa is 129,600 years. From this, it can be seen that for the Jade Emperor, five hundred years will not be a blink of an eye for those gods. The reason why Sun Wukong thinks that five hundred years is long is because Sun Wukong has practiced for more than 300 years in total.
According to the records of Journey to the West, Sun Wukong was over at the age of 342 and was caught in the underworld. In other words, including the time Sun Wukong was in Huaguo Mountain before, he lived 342 years old. After that, he made a big fuss in the underworld and then made a big fuss in the Heavenly Palace, so five hundred years have been longer than his life.
Although Sun Wukong didn't know this at the time, as he left the Five Elements Mountain and walked west, and in the words of Zhu Bajie, Sha Wujing and his master, he gradually understood this truth. Not to mention Master and Bajie, even Lao Sha had been rolling the curtains in the Heavenly Court for hundreds of thousands of years.
In addition, Sun Wukong was indeed very concerned about Huaguo Mountain, which was also the reason why Sun Wukong said that he would return to Huaguo Mountain after obtaining the scriptures. But even if Sun Wukong returned to Huaguo Mountain and Zhu Bajie returned to Gaolaozhuang, as long as Tang Sanzang and Sha Wujing encountered any trouble and danger, they would definitely arrive immediately without saying a word.
In the words of Sun Wukong, "No matter who it is in this world, as long as you dare to hurt my master, even if I try to be suppressed for 50,000 years, I will make him pay ten times the price." Sun Wukong's words were known in the Heavenly Court, Lingshan and even the entire demon world. This is why, when so many monsters caught Tang Seng during the journey to the West, no one dared to truly hurt Tang Seng.
Many gods and monsters know that on the first day when Tang Sanzang went west to obtain the scriptures, Tathagata Buddha had already issued a secret order to all the demons, immortals and Buddhas in the three realms. That is, whoever catches Tang Sanzang can deal with it by himself. Even if he is killed and cut, Tathagata and the entire Buddhist sect will never pursue it. According to Tathagata, this is a real life-and-death test for Tang Sanzang and his group, but anyone with a discerning eye knows that this is just Tathagata wants to use the hands of the immortals, Buddhas and monsters in the three realms to eliminate Tang Sanzang.
