Journey to the West: Yinhu Zhenjun

Chapter 232: Liushahe finally gained enlightenment, and Muzha suffered a calamity and was reincarnated into a golden body
It is said that the three masters and disciples of Monk Tang came here to escape from difficulties. In less than a day, they passed through the [-] Huangfengling Mountains, and when they entered the west, they found a land of Pingyang.Time flies, summer passes through autumn, some cicadas chirp and the willows are broken, and the fire flows westward.As we were walking, we saw a huge wave of water and turbulent waves.

Tang Monk hurriedly called out from his horse: "Apprentice, look at the wide water in front of you. Why can't you see ships walking? Where should we go?"

When Bajie saw it, he said, "It's really a raging wave, and there's no boat to cross it."

Sun Wukong climbed up on the clouds and took a closer look. He couldn't help being surprised and shouted: "Oh, Master, it's really difficult, it's really difficult! If this river were to be ignored by Old Sun, all he had to do was twist his waist. Twist, it's over; if you are a master, it will be difficult to get through, and it will be difficult for ten thousand years."

Tang Monk looked bitter, and Bajie asked, "Brother Monkey, how wide is this river?"

Sun Wukong estimated: "About eight hundred miles!"

Tang Monk, grumbling and troubled, took his horse back and suddenly saw a stone tablet on the shore.When the three people came to see it, they saw that there were three seal characters, which were Liusha River, and there were small four-line characters on the belly: "Eight hundred quicksands, three thousand weak water depths. Goose feathers can't float, and reed flowers can sink to the bottom." "

Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, "This river is not like an ordinary river, but it doesn't have a famous name on Xiniu Hezhou. There must be something fishy in it."

Zhu Bajie nodded heavily, and said, "Brother Monkey is right."

The three masters and apprentices looked around the stone tablet for a while, then they heard the ripples of the water behind them and saw a head of fluffy red flame hair and two round eyes as bright as lights.He has an indigo face that is neither black nor green, and sounds like thunder like a drum or an old dragon.Wearing a goose-yellow cloak, his waist is girded with white vines.There are nine skulls hanging under the neck, holding a very majestic treasure staff.

The strange whirlwind rushed to the shore and snatched Tang Monk. The monk was so panicked that he hugged the master and hurriedly climbed to the high bank and turned around to escape.Bajie put down his burden, pulled out the iron palladium, and looked for the monster to build it. The monster used his precious staff to hold it up.The two of them are on the banks of the quicksand river, each acting as a hero.This is a good fight: the nine-toothed palladium and the demon subduing staff, the two of them are facing each other on the river bank.

This is the governor's canopy, and that is the banished general's rolling curtain.We used to be in Lingxiao in the past, but today we fight fiercely.This one is a palladium to explore the clawed dragon, and that one is a staff-mounted molar elephant.Stretch out the big four flats and drill into the windward lock.This one has no head and no face to catch, that one has no chaos and no time to let go.One is a cannibal who has occupied the quicksand world for a long time, and the other is a practicing general who adheres to the teachings.The two of them went back and forth, fighting for twenty rounds, with neither victory nor defeat.

Sun Wukong's hands felt itchy, so he also pulled out the iron rod and rushed forward, and rushed into the battlefield, beating him randomly. Zhu Bajie had no choice but to stop. When the goblin saw that Sun Wukong was coming, he didn't hesitate and immediately turned around and ran into the water.

"Plop!" There was a sound, the water splashed up, and the shadow of the goblin disappeared from the shore.

Zhu Bajie couldn't help complaining: "Brother! Who asked you to come here! That monster is getting slower and harder, and it's hard for me to fight him. If he doesn't get close enough, I'll catch him! Seeing how dangerous you are, he ran away in defeat. How could it happen? Is good!"

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, let's wait and see if I, the old grandson, can come up with a plan, and then you can trick him out."

"Oh? What scheme?"

Pig Bajie asked.

Sun Wukong replied: "My old grandson is not good at water. You go into the water and fight with him. You are allowed to lose but not win. Once we get to the shore, if our two brothers join forces, how can he be invincible?"

Zhu Bajie thought for a moment and said, "Goodbye, Brother Monkey! I'll go down right away!"

After saying that, he took off his clothes and shoes and plunged into the water.

Sun Wukong stood on the shore, smiling and looking at the gradually boiling water with his golden hoop.

Huang Fengling made a lot of noise earlier, Sun Wukong had a great time playing, just saw the goblin's eyes, and knew that he was one of his future juniors, so it's better to save face and play a play with him.

After a while, the goblin really chased Zhu Bajie and came up. Zhu Bajie was not strong, but his acting skills were good. Sun Wukong secretly watched the two fight, waited for a while, and then attacked.

Even so, when the demon saw Sun Wukong coming out, he immediately turned around and ran into the water. Zhu Bajie was so angry that he trembled all over, thinking that the monkey was playing a trick on him.

Sun Wukong hooked his big hand, hugged Zhu Bajie tightly, and said with a smile: "Don't be angry, this monster has slippery feet, it will be getting late today, why don't I, old grandson, wait to have a fast meal, and wait until the Bodhisattva comes to surrender tomorrow?" Demon?"

Zhu Bajie said helplessly: "This sutra collection is our business, why do we keep asking Bodhisattva to come?"

Sun Wukong smiled and said: "My brother, you don't know something. She was the one who instigated the Buddhist scriptures. Now that we have difficulties, we should ask her to help."

When Bajie heard that it was true, he beat him again and again, feeling hungry, and then he agreed.

The two returned and told the news to Tang Monk. Tang Monk sighed repeatedly. The three of them finished their meal at night and found a secluded place to spend the night.

Early the next morning, Sun Wukong went to the South China Sea.

After half an hour, I could already see Putuo Mountain.After a while, he fell into a somersault and arrived outside the Purple Bamboo Forest. He saw the 24 heavens again and stepped forward to greet them: "Where is the Great Sage coming?"

Sun Wukong said: "My master is in trouble and came here to see the Bodhisattva."

All the gods said: "Please sit down and let me repay you."

The gods of the sun came to the entrance of Chaoyin Cave and reported: "Sun Wukong has something to see you." The Bodhisattva and the Good Fortune Dragon Girl were looking at the flowers on the railing by the Lotus Pond. When they heard the report, they turned to the cloud rock and opened the door to call in.

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked: "Why didn't you protect Tang Monk? Why did you come to see me again?"

Sun Wukong laughed, then told all the previous stories, and finally said: "That's why I tell the Bodhisattva that I have mercy on him. Please help him to save him."

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly, squinted his eyes, looked into the distance, and said: "The monster in the Liusha River is the rolling curtain general coming to the world, and he is also a good believer of my persuasion, teaching him to protect those who seek scriptures. If you are willing to tell me, it is He who seeks scriptures from the Eastern Land will never quarrel with you and will definitely submit to you."

Sun Wukong said again: "That monster is now timid and refuses to go up the cliff. It only hides in the water. How can we win his submission? How can our master cross the weak water?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva took out a red gourd and said: "You can take this gourd with Sun Wukong to the surface of the Liusha River. Just call Wu Jing and he will come out. First, you must lead him to surrender to Tang Monk, and then bring the nine skeletons to him. Thread it in one place and arrange it according to the nine palaces, but put this gourd in the middle. It is a Dharma boat that can ferry Tang Monk across the Liusha River."

Sun Wukong and the traveler both accepted the order and were about to lift their legs and leave, but Sun Wukong turned back and said with a smile on his face: "Bodhisattva, do you know why there was a sudden loud noise in Beizhou the day before yesterday?"

Guanyin paused and asked: "You monkey, you are in Hezhou, Xiniu, how can you hear what is going on in Beizhou?"

Sun Wukong laughed a few times, "As the saying goes, when a monk strikes a bell every day, I practice Buddhism diligently day and night, and my magic power also improves!"

"Mana improvement?"

Guanyin frowned slightly. It was almost impossible for the monkey's magic power to go further. How could he say this?

Shaking his head slightly, he replied: "You guessed it right, it's Lu Yin and his party. The stars are dim this time, so there must be such a disaster."

"Oh? Then I wonder if there is someone who can help me?"

Sun Wukong asked.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva shook his head and said, "The secret of Luzhou in Beiju is not revealed, and the luck is declining. It still depends on personal opportunities."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Thank you Bodhisattva for telling me that I, the old grandson, will go."

After saying that, he cupped his hands and flew out with Muzha.

On top of the cloud, Mu Zha also asked about the battle on Huangfengling that day. There was a lot of noise in that battle. Sun Wukong laughed and joked with Mu Zha for a while, which was regarded as answering his question.

However, when Sun Wukong landed, he seemed to see Shiba Jialan's expression in a hurry, wondering what happened.

Fortunately, their auras were stable and there was no sign of evil spirits entering their bodies, so Sun Wukong ignored the matter for the time being.

Sure enough, Mu Zha took action and shouted "Wu Jing" three times on the Liusha River, and the goblin appeared.After a conversation, the misunderstanding was resolved, and they started moving forward again.

On top of the clouds, Muzha returned, still holding the Nine Palace Gourd Dharma Boat in his hand, but he saw bursts of golden light in front of him, and the sky was filled with colorful clouds.

He felt happy in his heart and said: "Could it be that the source of blessing has arrived and a baby has been born!"

He was not in a hurry to return to the South China Sea, so he boldly gathered his breath and flew forward.

Several demons in the dark also followed him. They did not dare to do anything to Muzha. After all, Guanyin Bodhisattva was not a small role, but the Nine Palace Gourd Dharma Boat in his hand could not be easily let go.

Not only can this object cross weak water, it can also move forward smoothly in the chaos of the star sea.

South China Sea, under a cliff.

Mu Zha's face was filled with joy. No one had expected that it would go so smoothly. The immortal apricot that had been born for thousands of years was actually born here. It would be a good thing to take it back and pay tribute to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Mu Zha released his magic power in twos and threes to hold the fairy apricot tree on his shoulders, and protected its roots with magic power, then flew away on the clouds. Suddenly, he smelled a fragrance in his nose.

But here is the middle of the South China Sea, where does the fragrance come from?

Mu Zha smelled it carefully and smiled again. It turned out to be coming from the fairy apricot tree. He moved too fast and didn't have time to pay attention. Now he took a closer look and saw that the tree was actually full of fairy apricots.

Mu Zha stopped his head and muttered: "There are so many immortal apricots. I won't be surprised if I eat two Xiangbi Bodhisattvas. They will be given to me anyway."

Saying so, Mu Zha reached out and picked two fairy apricots, stuffed them into his mouth, and the juice in his mouth burst instantly, his mana increased sharply, and his cultivation base also increased faintly.

"It's really good stuff!"

After saying that, Mu Zha's body of mana surged, and he found it difficult to control himself. He frowned, and when the island disappeared from sight, he broke the water surface and hid under the water to digest the magic power.

At the bottom of the South China Sea, Mu Zha is hiding under a water cave. He closes his eyes and observes his mind, but there is nothing outside his mind.

At this time, a man's voice sounded.

"Okay, he will block his consciousness now, let's quickly grab our things and leave."

"coming!"

Another big demon entered the scene, stretched out his big hand, and with a move from a distance, the Nine Palace Gourd Dharma Boat hidden by Mu Zha was taken away.

The two men looked at each other, smiled, and said, "Let's go quickly, lest that guy finds out."

"it is good."

The silhouettes of these two people flickered and they swam towards the South China Sea Dragon Palace.

Half an hour later, Mu Zha opened his eyes and smiled, "Yes, my magic power has improved a lot, good, good!"

Thinking like this, I suddenly felt that my arms were empty. When I looked down, my brain exploded with a "buzzing" sound. The gourd Dharma boat that Guanyin Bodhisattva had instructed me thousands of times was gone!
Mu Zha immediately spread his consciousness to search, feeling panic in his heart.

After struggling for half an hour, he calmed down and muttered: "Fortunately, I have a fairy root, otherwise, I would have no face to go back."

The gourd boat disappeared, and Mu Zha didn't dare to stay any longer, so he flew back to Chaoyin Cave and paid homage to Guanyin Bodhisattva.

Guanyin Bodhisattva just glanced at it, his face darkened, and shouted: "Mu Zha, where is the gourd boat!"

Mu Zha trembled. He had never seen his master so angry before. He quickly knelt down on the ground, raised the fairy root on his shoulder, and said all the things before again.

"Bastard!" Guanyin Bodhisattva said angrily: "Do you know the origin of those nine skulls!"

"It is the accumulation of Jin Chanzi's nine reincarnations. If there is no such thing and his golden body is defective, he will be a false Buddha if he preaches the true scripture!"

Mu Zha trembled, clenched his teeth, and sweated profusely. Finally, he said, "Disciple, this disciple also brought back an immortal root!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva was silent, stretched out his hand to touch, and found that the immortal root turned into mud, exuding endless filthy air.

".Have you eaten the fruit above?"

Guanyin Bodhisattva asked.

Mu Zha nodded slowly.

"Alas!" Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed, stretched out his hand and touched Muzha's forehead. The Buddha's light dispersed, and Muzha's body was wrapped in Buddha's light, revealing his crystal clear golden body.

But there was a lot of black mud surging on this gold body, absorbing the essence of Muzhajin's body bit by bit.

Mu Zha was speechless. He never thought that he would make such a big mistake today.

Avalokitesvara Bodhisattva also remained silent. If this had happened earlier, it would have been easier. Let Mu Zha take Wu Jing's place and come back from the calamity. However, he was taking the Western Sutra at this time and could not change it without authorization.

After a long time, Guanyin Bodhisattva let out a long sigh, "Well, I never thought that there would be such a calamity. Your golden body will be damaged and you will not be able to make progress in the Dharma. So you will be reincarnated and reincarnate for ten lives. You will have to do the calamity on the way to learn the scriptures."

Mu Zha's heart sank, but he also knew Guanyin Bodhisattva's intentions, and he only hated that he had been so blinded by the treasure that he had come to this point.

He knelt down and kowtowed with tears in his eyes, and said: "Thank you for your guidance, master. I hope that after the tenth life, I can still do my best for my master!"

Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded slightly and sighed again.

Muzha sat cross-legged on the spot and removed his golden body. Only one true spirit remained, which escaped into the underworld and reincarnated.

Guanyin Bodhisattva looked at the golden body of Muzha for a long time, shook his head slightly, waved his hand, and blew out a strong wind, which smashed the golden body into powder and fell into the pond in the distance.

The pond was originally a place for Guanyin Bodhisattva to observe the scenery and learn the Dharma. When he got interested, he would sit on the lotus platform and preach for a while. Therefore, all the creatures in the pond also opened their spiritual wisdom.

One of the huge goldfish had a big mouth and struggled to swallow the black powder from its golden body.

Guanyin Bodhisattva cast aside a glance, then called the Dragon Girl who had been standing by. He sighed and said, "Forget it, I have no thoughts about Muzha's reincarnation. You are ordered to go home. When I call you, you will come back." .”

Shancai Dragon Girl looked frightened, with tears welling up in her eyes. She knelt on the ground. Guanyin Bodhisattva sighed again, stretched out her hand to touch Dragon Girl's hair, and said: "You have been with me for many years, and we will never be separated like this. You have the right to When you take a vacation and relax, you will come back one day."

After saying that, he gave the Dragon Goddess three drops of water and a white lotus. The Good Fortune Dragon Girl had to kneel down and thank her before turning around and flying towards the West Sea.
