Chapter 20 Canopy's Past, Eight Precepts of Accepting Apprentices
"I used to be the Tianpeng Marshal of the Heavenly Court. I commanded a hundred thousand Tianhe navy, and I was considered the number one figure."
"Until I met her."
Having said this, Zhu Ganghye's ugly face showed a hint of softness, and his eyes wandered, as if he was missing the good old days.
"That day at the Yaochi Grand Festival, the wind was warm and the sun was shining, and the gods gathered together happily. She came forward to dance with the Baihua Fairy. Among the many fairies, she was not the most beautiful, but I fell in love with her at first sight.
"
"After the meeting, I tried to control myself. After all, heaven dictates that gods cannot fall in love."
"But, I can't do it! I can't forget that beautiful figure. I am depressed all day long and miss it so much that I become ill."
"Finally, I couldn't bear the longing in my heart anymore and asked around."
"It turns out she is Fairy Begonia under Fairy Baihua. Begonia, what a nice name!"
"So I tried every means to get close to her and help her. Finally, under my continuous offensive, she fell."
"From then on, we fell in love and couldn't extricate ourselves."
"Due to the strict rules, we can only meet secretly occasionally."
"However, paper cannot cover the fire after all, and the matter was exposed."
Having said this, Zhu Ganghe's expression was ferocious, and his whole person exuded extremely strong murderous intent.
"The Jade Emperor showed no mercy. Despite my pleading, he still demoted Haitang to the mortal world."
"Then the Jade Emperor let you go?" At this time, Xiao Bailong also rushed up. Hearing this, he quickly interrupted.
Little Bailong knows how unkind the Jade Emperor is. He just accidentally broke a pearl, and his father demoted him to Yingchoujian, a place where birds don't poop, and was imprisoned. He was afraid that the Jade Emperor would be angry.
, and beheaded himself.
"Oh, he doesn't want to let me go." At this point, Zhu Ganghe's face showed a trace of sarcasm and ridicule.
"But he can't do anything to me. I am a third-generation disciple of the Human Religion. Although I only have a little connection with preaching, he doesn't dare to punish me too severely."
"In the end, he took the opportunity to take back the military power of Tianhe's 100,000 navy troops and ordered me to face the wall and think about my mistakes."
"Originally, after this incident, I was already disheartened and had no other thoughts. I stayed in heaven all day long, drinking to drown my sorrows."
"I knew that the monkeys were making trouble in heaven, but I didn't take it seriously. Most of the gods didn't take it seriously either. It was just a farce." After saying this, he glanced at Sun Wukong, but saw that Sun Wukong's expression did not change.
.
"How much power there is in heaven, I still don't know it after all these years."
"Not to mention a monkey in the Taiyi Sanxian realm, even that quasi-sage who dares to force his way into the heaven will have to keep his life."
Hearing this, Sun Wukong laughed to himself, it was indeed a farce.
"I originally wanted to escape to the lower realm and look for Haitang, but my master ordered me to wait."
"I can only endure it and spend the whole day in the palace drinking wine to drown my sorrows. My days are like years."
"Finally, the time has come. The Jade Emperor brought the imperial order from my master, asking me to go down to the lower realms and follow the pilgrims on their journey to the west. I will gain some merit. After the success, I will return to heaven and lead another hundred thousand naval troops."
"Then what's the rumor about you teasing Fairy Chang'e while drunk?" The gossip among the three people present was burning brightly.
Tang Sen was also very interested in hearing these secrets. It was impossible to spread these secrets.
"Oh, how could the Jade Emperor blatantly demote me to the mortal world without finding a reason? I am a person of the size of an old pig, and the Jade Emperor would not dare to touch me without any legitimate reason."
"It's just a play. On the eve of the Peach Festival, the Jade Emperor came to me personally to discuss the script, and finally chose the scene of "Tianpeng loses his morality after drinking and molests Chang'e and is demoted." I didn't care at that time. I just
I want to go down to earth to look for Begonia as soon as possible, but I don’t care about this little reputation thing.”
"What a pig demon who attaches great importance to love and justice!" The three people present all praised, what a touching love story, what a loyal and unswerving Marshal Tianpeng.
"According to what you said, you came down to earth to find Fairy Begonia, but now you are obsessed with Miss Gao Cuilan, isn't it?" Xiao Bailong thought thoughtfully and asked the doubts in his heart.
"Yes, Miss Gao Cuilan and Gao are the reincarnation of Fairy Haitang!"
Finally, Zhu Ganghei broke the shocking news.
No wonder, no wonder, Tang Sen suddenly realized that it makes sense if things are like this.
Zhu Gang descended to earth, looking for the reincarnation of Fairy Haitang, and found it in the body of Gao Cuilan in Gaojiazhuang.
So he transformed himself into a high-ranking official and worked as a son-in-law for three years, hoping to marry a beautiful woman.
However, he showed up after drinking, which only made things worse.
Gao Yuan regretted the marriage and went around looking for the mage to take him away. Zhu Gangxie showed no mercy for Gao Cuilan's sake.
Until Gao Yuanwai invited them.
Things are clear!
"What a shame that Jade Emperor was so petty that he took the opportunity to take revenge and actually ordered me to be thrown into a pig's womb!" Zhu Ganghye mentioned this and his teeth itched with hatred.
A general with extraordinary valor and grace turned into an ugly pig demon, which no one could tolerate.
"Then you don't want to travel to the West, but you want to stay and live an ordinary life in Gaojiazhuang with Miss Gao Cuilan, that is, Fairy Haitang?" Tang Sen asked.
"Well, after this incident, I don't want to be a marshal in heaven, and I don't want to deal with the disputes between Buddhism and Taoism. I just want to live a peaceful life in Gaojiazhuang and Cuilan, with simple food and simple meals. That's enough." Zhu Ganghe said with a hint of confusion on his face.
Longing, a trace of yearning.
"But, can you escape?" Tang Sen said calmly.
Zhu Ganghe's expression changed, and Tang Sen expressed his worries.
"It's not that easy for people who are in the game to get out of the chess game. Where are you going to escape?"
These plain words hit Zhu Gangxi's heart like a bolt from the blue.
I have been escaping, deceiving myself and others, imagining that heaven and Buddhism can let me and Haitang go.
But, is it possible?
"What else do they want! I have turned into a pig demon, why are you still refusing to let me go?" Zhu Ganghui looked in pain and roared at the top of his lungs.
"Weak people always dream and beg the strong to let them go." Tang Sen's heart remained unmoved and he continued to perform ordinary last-ditch attacks.
Zhu Ganghe suddenly raised his head and stared at Tang Sen with a pair of red eyes.
"If the Jade Emperor wants to marry a concubine and Tathagata wants to have a love affair, will anyone object? Who would dare to object?"
This sentence is like a bell in the morning and a drum in the evening, which is deafening and enlightening.
"The weak cannot control their own destiny, but the strong can, and even control the destiny of others."
"The Jade Emperor doesn't touch you because the person standing behind you is the Taoist lineage of the Human Religion, the Patriarch of Taiqing, the most powerful person in heaven and earth."
"And you are not strong enough, so you can't save Fairy Haitang and can only watch her being demoted to earth."
"If you have the cultivation level of the Jade Emperor, let alone the Begonia Fairy, even if you bring all the Baihua Fairies into the palace, so what?"
Tang Sen talks eloquently and continues to export his values.
This world is like this, and the world of Gods and Buddhas in Journey to the West is even more like this. The strong take all, and the weak have no say.
After saying these words, Zhugang lost his mind and stood there blankly.
Yes, that's right, it's because I'm not strong enough, but what can I do? That's the Jade Emperor, the Tathagata!
Nowadays, the leaders of the two largest forces in the Three Realms, how can I compare with them? How can I win?
As he thought about it, Zhu Gangxi couldn't help but fall into despair.
Fighting with the Jade Emperor and Tathagata? Just thinking about it is enough to make people despair!
"Weak people have nothing to do, but you are different, Zhu Ganghui, now you have a chance to change your destiny." Tang Sen's tone was calm, but his words were full of confidence, and he was not afraid that you would not take the bait.
"What can I do?" Zhu Ganghe suddenly raised his head, his eyes still confused, but now they were filled with hope.
"Worship me as your teacher and follow me to learn scriptures from the West. After that, I will be your background. With the merits of learning scriptures, wouldn't it be simple to ask the Buddha for a favor and ask the Jade Emperor to forgive you and Fairy Haitang?"
Yes, Journey to the West is very important. Zhu Gangxi knows that not only the Jade Emperor and the Tathagata are involved in it, but even his own master has ordered himself to be involved in it. How can such a powerful plan be simple? After it is done, please take it easy.
loose.
But it doesn't matter who asks for favors. Just like him, a pig demon, even the Buddha and birds will not love him!
This monk? Does he have this face?
Seeing Zhu Gangxi's suspicious eyes, Tang Sen smiled calmly and introduced himself.
"Poor monk, imperial younger brother of the Tang Dynasty, family teacher Tathagata!"
His calm tone revealed his domineering power over me!
Sun Wukong knew it earlier and is not so surprised now.
But the little white dragon next to him was shocked. Guanyin Bodhisattva only told him that the Buddhist monk was an enlightened monk and a good person for ten generations, but he didn't tell him that he was a disciple of Tathagata Buddha. These thighs are too thick!
"Master." He couldn't help but call him "Master." Tang Sen smiled and touched his head.
"Master!" Turning around, he saw Zhu Ganghae kneeling heavily on the ground, clicking his head three times "dong dong dong".
As if afraid of being slow.
Zhu Gangxi figured it out, there is no way to escape, the world is so big, if Heaven and Buddhism want to find someone, there is no way to hide.
And what Tang Sen said is indeed reasonable. As long as he becomes stronger, no one can take Gao Cuilan away from him.
Even if he is not that strong, if Tang Sanzang, a disciple of Buddha, is willing to intercede for him, then the Jade Emperor and Buddha will be able to give him some face. The premise is that nothing happens during the journey to the west. This is a big deal!
No matter what happens, you will definitely make money!
Tang Sen smiled. Who will say that Zhu is stupid and rushes to him? Isn't this very smart?
"From now on, you will be my second disciple. I will give you a Dharma name, Bajie." Tang Sen said solemnly, looking at Zhu Bajie who was kneeling on the ground.
"Bajie, I hope you understand the meaning of the name given to you by my master. Before you have the strength, you need Bajie. After you have the strength, it is up to you to decide whether to quit or not!"
"Bajie, thank you, Master, for the name. Disciple, please remember it!"
"Dong dong dong" sounded three times again, and this time the ground seemed to shake, which shows Zhu Bajie's sincerity.
"We are all a family from now on. Come on, let me introduce you, this is your senior brother Sun Wukong, and this is your junior brother Xiao Bailong." Tang Sen helped Zhu Bajie up and pulled Sun Wukong and Xiao Bailong next to him.
Introduced one by one.
"In the future, if you come to us for anything, we will be your backing." Tang Sen said kindly, and Sun Wukong and Little White Dragon also smiled and nodded.
"Senior brother, Bajie has offended a lot today, I hope you can forgive me." Turning around, Zhu Bajie apologized to Wukong.
"No problem, no problem. I gave you a good beating to vent your anger, and it's even." Sun Wukong waved his hand magnanimously, indicating that he didn't care.
"Bajie, my master has some good news for you." Tang Sen smiled mysteriously and said slowly to Bajie.
Zhu Bajie looked curiously.
"Then Miss Gao Cuilan doesn't seem to reject you."
"Really?" Zhu Bajie was ecstatic when he heard this and quickly pulled Tang Sen to ask.
"When the poor monk came out to slay the demon, she told her not to hurt your life."
Hearing this, Zhu Bajie's pig face actually showed a soft smile.
Just in time, the morning light broke and a new day arrived.
