Sun Wukong had to leave quickly. When he saw Tang Monk, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart. He was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would be unable to bear it for a while, so he took out the golden cudgel and hit Tang Monk with it. Wouldn't that make him ungrateful?
generation?
After Sun Wukong left, Tang Seng also woke up from his anger. He suddenly felt regretful and knew that he had said the wrong thing!
But now that the matter has come to this, Tang Seng has no chance to redeem himself. Sun Wukong leaves immediately without giving Tang Seng any chance to recover.
Sun Wukong has left, but the matter of going to the West to obtain Buddhist scriptures still needs to go on, but along the way, Tang Monk has been cast a shadow.
Although they hadn't left for long, only a day and a half later, they encountered two crises. If it was just Tang Seng himself, he would have stopped eating long ago.
At this time, Tang Seng suddenly understood the benefits of having a strong person by his side, and suddenly thought of Sun Wukong.
It is useless to think too much. Now that Sun Wukong has left, Tang Monk has no choice but to pack his luggage and pull it on the horse. Instead of riding a horse, he holds the tin staff in one hand and the reins in the other, heading west. He looks very miserable.
Tang Monk walked for an hour and came to a small hill. Suddenly, at the corner, a flash of inspiration occurred, and an old man appeared. The old man was even octogenarian, with wrinkles all over his body, and he looked as if he was weathered.
It looks like a rock, with a look of vicissitudes of life. He is dressed simply, but he wears a flower hat on his head, which is very strange. He holds a walking stick in one hand and a brocade garment in the other, tremblingly thinking about Tang Monk coming over.
.
Tang Monk turned the corner and saw the old man. He hurriedly pulled the horse aside and got out of the way so as not to scare the old man.
The old man took a few trembling steps forward and came to Tang Monk. Suddenly he turned his head and asked after seeing a monk.
"Master, where are you going?"
"The poor monk came from the Tang Dynasty and went to the city ahead. He is going to look for the Buddha's golden stickers so that he can go to the West to obtain scriptures. He will use my Buddha's scriptures to benefit our human race." Tang Monk quickly performed a Buddhist salute and said.
"Master has a compassionate heart, but why are you alone? There is no one to protect you. This place is full of wolves, worms, tigers, leopards, cows, demons, and snakes. How can a mortal monk like you survive safely? Moreover, I heard that, except for you,
There are many immortals who covet the Buddha's gold sticker, how can you win over others?"
"The Western Heaven is the holy land of Buddha. It is more than 108,000 miles away from here. There are countless demons, ghosts, snakes and gods blocking the way. The road is difficult and dangerous, making it difficult to walk. You don't even have a guard or a disciple to accompany you. How can you go there?
?You will be dead before you reach the West." The old man said again.
After Tang Monk heard this, he felt sad. After being silent for a while, he spoke again.
"Yesterday, I accepted a disciple, but he has some skills. He can subdue dragons and tigers, and make the clouds fly. However, he has a naughty temperament, a huge murderous nature, and has no regard for killing. I just said a few words to him, and I felt angry in my heart.
Go, now, even the poor monk doesn’t know where he is.”
When the old man heard Tang Seng's words, he smiled slightly, and the wrinkles on his face were revealed by his smile, and said.
"Master, don't worry. As the saying goes, there must be a road before the car reaches the mountain. Well, I have a brocade shirt and a gold-embedded hat here. I asked for them in a nearby temple. I originally wanted to give them to my son.
, but my son has already joined the army and is of no use now. Originally, I wanted to return it to the temple, but I didn’t expect to meet you, Master, here, so I will give this coat to your apprentice!"
After Tang Monk heard this, he bowed quickly and refused.
"Thank you for the great gift from me, but the apprentice of the poor monk has left and will not come back. You should keep this old man as a souvenir."
"Don't worry, he will come back soon. Also, I have a curse here, called the Tightening Curse. You can recite it secretly and keep it in your mind. Don't let anyone know. When he comes back, you will
This coat and hat should be worn by him. If he refuses to obey your orders, you can recite this mantra silently, and he will never dare to commit any harm or leave again." The old man said with a smile.
When Tang Monk heard this, he felt that the clothes and hats were very scary and vicious. He did not dare to take the clothes and hats in front of him and watched the old man back away again and again.
The old man saw that Tang Monk did not take the coat and hat from his hands, so he nodded with a smile, and then revealed his true identity, which was revealed to be Dingguang Buddha Shen Gongbao.
"Yes, Tang Monk, it's a good thing that you think this hat is a bit vicious, but this is the magic weapon that Buddha gave you to restrain Sun Wukong. You only need to memorize the Tightening Curse, and after Sun Wukong puts on the hat, he will be at your disposal. This Tightening Spell
After you arrive in the West, Buddha will help Sun Wukong take it off. In this way, Sun Wukong will not dare to go against your will and kill people randomly on the way to obtain scriptures!"
"Also, Sun Wukong's character is not bad. The things he said before about killing many people were all made up by him. He had almost never killed anyone before. Those were all his angry words. On this point, I
Buddha knows very well that I don't want you to cause trouble again in the future and cause trouble to Xiao Qiang."
"Thank you for your concern, Buddha!" After hearing this, Tang Seng saluted quickly and said. Hearing that Sun Wukong had never killed anyone, Tang Seng was relieved.
When Tang Monk raised his head, Dingguang Buddha had disappeared, and only the suit of clothes and hat remained in the air.
Seeing that Dingguang Buddha had left, Tang Monk quickly stood up, took off his clothes and hat in mid-air, and then sat aside and silently recited the Tightening Mantra.
Let's say that after Sun Wukong left Tang Seng's side, he kept flying in the direction of Huaguo Mountain. He was really angry with Tang Seng.
"Wukong, you don't really want to leave, do you?" A voice appeared in Sun Wukong's ears.
Sun Wukong knew that this was the voice of his master Zhou Cheng, and he quickly answered.
"What else can I do if I don't leave? You also know my temper, and I really can't stand this anger. I helped the monk kill the enemy, but the monk was so ignorant that he dared to reprimand me. Even Master, you never said that.
I, let alone him, are really angry at me!"
"You think he is ignorant, but he also thinks you are unreasonable. This is because your living environments are different."
"You were born in a predatory environment, and you think it's normal to kill a few robbers. But even if you live in such an environment, you still have good intentions in your heart. You have almost never killed any living beings. What you said before is all because of your anger.
If you deliberately target Tang Seng like that, why should you deceive yourself and others?"
"But Tang Seng is different. He was born in the human race and follows the law. Everything must be done according to the rules. Maybe you find his idea of preferring death to killing people funny, but that is his persistence and his philosophy.
, maybe it’s a bit ridiculous to describe him as a good person, but in fact it is true. Think about it, can you give up yourself and save others?” Zhou Cheng said earnestly.
Sun Wukong was stunned when he heard this. His somersault clouds stopped, his expression kept changing, and he sighed after a long while.
"My old grandson is not as stupid as him, but I admire his persistence. However, we are all out now, wouldn't it be shameful to go like this? I'd better go back to Huaguo Mountain."
"There's no rush. You go back slowly. Someone will come over and persuade you to go back later. Then you can just go with the flow." Zhou Cheng said with a smile.
"It seems that they really recognize me, old grandson." Sun Wukong said with a sigh.
"You'd better pretend to look back every step of the way, and show them that you're reluctant to give up. Then they will be more sympathetic and ask you to go back." Zhou Cheng suggested again.
Sun Wukong immediately did as he was told. He also wanted to exchange Tang Monk's favor.
