No taboos in the world

Chapter 619: Merit and Rebirth, Rebirth Mantra

It is said that Tang Monk and his two disciples arrived at the Kingdom of Daughters. They took a boat to cross the river. Tang Monk saw that the river water was clear and felt thirsty. He took a bowl and scooped some water. Tang Monk drank a little, and the rest was drank in one gulp by Bajie.

Less than half an hour later, Tang Seng, who was sitting on his horse, suddenly groaned in abdominal pain, followed closely by Bajie.

Before Sun Wukong and Sha Seng could take a closer look, they saw that the two of them were in more and more unbearable pain, and their stomachs were gradually getting bigger. When they touched them with their hands, they felt like there were blood and flesh.

Then he happened to meet a family and went up to them to boil water and buy medicine, only then did he learn the truth.

In the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, the whole country is inhabited by women, with no men.

The river just now is called Zimu River, and outside the capital of Xiliang Women's Kingdom there is a Yingyangguan Posthouse, and outside the posthouse there is a Zhaotai Spring.

People from the Western Liang Women's Kingdom, as long as they are twenty years old or above, can drink the water from the Zimu River.

After drinking water, I felt abdominal pain and was pregnant.

After three days, go to Yingyang Pavilion and look at the water near the fetus. If you can see double shadows, the baby will be born.

Upon hearing this, Sanzang was horrified and said, "It would be fine if a woman was pregnant, but how can a man get pregnant by drinking water? How will the fetus stay in the belly? How can the fetus be born after it is formed?"

Bajie twisted his hips and groaned, "Master is right! I don't have a birth canal, so it's a miracle that I'm pregnant now. How can I give birth to a child when the time comes?"

Sun Wukong's eyes rolled when he heard this, and he said with a smile: "As the ancients said, when a melon is ripe, it will fall off. If it is really time for you to give birth, you don't have to be afraid, you idiot. I will tear a hole in your belly and take the baby out."

Bajie was in unbearable pain at this time, and after hearing what he said, he cried out in pain: "Oh my God, old pig, I'm dead, I'm dead!"

At the side, Monk Sha also laughed and said, "Second Brother, please stop twisting and turning. Be careful not to disturb the fetus, which will hurt your body."

Bajie was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then he really didn't dare to move. He carefully held up his swollen belly, gently touched it with his palm, and then sighed, saying, "Oh, forget it, Monkey Brother, Junior Brother Sha, please go around and look for any skilled and experienced midwives around. Find a few in advance so that if you really get pregnant, there will be someone to take care of it."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong was slightly startled and asked, "You idiot, are you really going to give birth to the fetus?"

Bajie endured the pain, wrinkled his pig face, and said seriously: "Brother Monkey, no matter what, if this is a real fetus, it is my offspring. As the old woman said, the fetus will be born in three days, so I will just bear it. Otherwise, am I really going to kill a life?"

As soon as these words were spoken, Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing all nodded.

Sun Wukong praised him, "Good brother! You can say such words, which makes the master's teaching worthwhile. If you complain about hardship and fatigue again in the future, I will let you do what you want and will never use the golden hoop to scare you again."

Bajie: "Really?"

Sun Wukong nodded: "Of course it is true!"

Sha Wujing also said, "Second Brother, from now on, just let me carry the burden, and you can just lead the horse for Master."

Bajie chuckled and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Junior Brother Sha."

At this time, Tang Seng, whose pain was slightly relieved, also leaned against the stone and sighed, "Bajie said it very well. If you are greedy again in the future, your master will scold you less."

Bajie burst into laughter, but accidentally pulled the fetus, causing him to scream in pain. Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing hurriedly supported him and relieved him.

Tang Seng looked up at the sky, watching the white clouds flowing, and sighed: "Everything in the world, birth, existence, change and destruction, are all related to the word 'fate'. Coming here today is fate, drinking water is fate, pregnancy is fate, and future birth is also fate." As he said this, he suddenly smiled and looked at his three disciples: "Three days later, this poor monk and Bajie will have a daughter. By then, we will have two more companions on the road."

Sun Wukong said: "Master, we can take the child with us, but we don't have milk to feed him. What should we do?"

Tang Seng shook his head and said, "On the way to the west, there are mountains everywhere, and there are many wild beasts in the mountains. With your magical powers, it should not be difficult to find a mother beast with cubs."

"That's true." Sun Wukong nodded and said, "In that case, why don't we settle down here first, and go to the outside of the city to take a look at the Fetal Spring in three days. If there are twins, we can take out the fetuses, let Master and Junior Brother recuperate, and then we can set off again. How do you think?"

Tang Seng thought about it, nodded and said, "It's feasible, let's do it. I think if Guanyin Bodhisattva and Buddha knew about this, for the sake of all living beings, they would definitely not blame us for being lazy and unwilling to move forward."

As soon as these words were spoken, Sun Wukong and Sha Seng took their luggage and looked for a place to stay.

The old lady who had heard everything looked at them with complicated eyes and then spoke.

"Elders, there is a mountain thirty miles south of our capital, called Jieyang Mountain. In the mountain there is a Juxian Temple, and in the temple there is a spring that can cure miscarriage. If you drink the water from the well, you will be able to cure miscarriage.

However, it is not easy to get the water of the abortion spring. In the past, there lived a Ruyi Immortal who protected the abortion spring and would not give it to anyone easily. You must offer gifts of flowers, wine, and fruits, and make sincere contributions before you have a chance to ask for a bowl of water from him.

But a few years ago, the Immortal Ruyi was defeated by a powerful fairy and taken as a servant. Now it is more difficult to ask for water than before. In addition to offering gifts, you have to prepare a large amount of gold and silver, be whipped three times, and even damage your own luck before you can ask for a bowl of abortion spring water. "

Hearing these words, the four masters and apprentices were all stunned.

After a while, Tang Seng clasped his hands together and said, "Amitabha! Whether it's the Immortal Ruyi or the fairies that came after him, they are all kind-hearted people."

A light of enlightenment flashed in Sun Wukong's eyes, and he nodded after suddenly realizing what was going on.

Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also understood something and agreed.

Seeing this, the old woman asked in confusion: "What do you mean, elder?"

Tang Seng had some stomachache again, so he looked at Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong spoke for him, "Old woman, you don't know. My master meant that those two were kindhearted people. Ruyi Zhenxian did not covet the gifts from mortals, but wanted mortals to think twice before drinking water, so as not to cause trouble for themselves in the end. The fairy who came later was not greedy for money, but her punishment was more severe, and those who aborted their fetuses paid a greater price. As for your statement about damaging your own fortune, if I am not mistaken, I think that fairy has great magical powers. She transferred the fortune of those who wanted to abort their fetuses to those fetuses that could not be born, so that they could be reborn as good fetuses again."

Tang Seng and his companions nodded in agreement.

The old woman suddenly realized: "So that's how it is! It seems that the Immortal Ruyi and the Holy Mother are both good people." After a pause, she asked curiously: "If that's the case, then do you plan to abort this fetus or not?"

Tang Seng immediately shook his head: "Pregnancy is fate, how can I harm my own daughter's life?"

Bajie also shook his head, his two big ears twitching back and forth: "No, no, I am a former Marshal of the Heavenly Peng. How can I be afraid of a little pain? When I give birth to a daughter in three days, I wonder how many people will envy me!"

Sun Wukong: "Hehe, then doesn't that mean I'm the elder brother and uncle?"

Sha Monk: "I have become a brother and uncle too?"

The four masters and apprentices looked at each other and then all started laughing.

Seeing this scene, the old woman's eyes were full of kindness, which gradually turned into deep relief.

Then, she nodded and shed her mortal disguise, revealing her true form as a bodhisattva, who was none other than Guanyin of the South China Sea.

Sun Wukong and Sha Seng hurriedly bowed, while Tang Seng and Bajie were unable to move and could only sit down and confess their sins.

Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled and pulled out a willow branch from the mutton-fat jade bottle, sprinkled the celestial dew on the two men's bodies, relieving their pain.

"Hearing what you said just now, I feel very relieved. Tang Sanzang, compared to when you first set out from Chang'an, you have now realized true compassion and taught three good disciples."

Tang Sanzang said quickly: "I dare not, Bodhisattva, thank you for your praise."

Guanyin shook her head: "What I said was not to comfort you, but came from my heart. But having said that, there is still a way to resolve the fetal qi in your two stomachs. Why don't you go to Jieyang Mountain, there is a way forward."

Tang Sanzang frowned slightly: "Buddha, I don't want to abort the baby."

Bajie also said: "Buddha, I don't want to do that either, but I can't harm my daughter's life!"

Guanyin smiled when she heard this and said, "No, no. This is a good fate. It will not harm their lives. There is also an opportunity. You will know when you go and take a look." After that, Guanyin left on the lotus platform. After the master and his disciples had some exchanges, they also headed towards Jieyang Mountain.

After climbing the mountain, the group saw a woodcutter.

When the woodcutter saw the appearance of the few people, he was stunned at first, and then shocked. He took the initiative to greet them with a very polite attitude: "I am very happy to meet the elders."

"Hey, are you the Immortal Ruyi here?"

"That's right." Immortal Ruyi looked at Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie's stomachs, frowned, and said in a colder tone: "Are you elders here to ask for the abortion spring?"

Sun Wukong waved his hands and said, "No, no. My master and fellow apprentice didn't want to abort the baby and kill the girl. It was just that the Bodhisattva told us that there was a good fate here, so we came all the way here to take a look."

Upon hearing this, Ruyi Zhenxian's attitude softened slightly, but he didn't understand what was going on, so he said, "Elders, please follow me inside to rest for a while. I will go and inform the Holy Mother."

"Okay, okay, thank you, Your Excellency!"

After entering the Juxian Temple, Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing helped Tang Sanzang and Zhu Bajie sit down and rest respectively.

After a while, Yang Chan, wearing a green fairy dress, came slowly with a cold expression.

Seeing her, the four of them stood up and greeted her again.

Yang Chan nodded and said coldly: "Do you know the rules?"

Seeing this, Sun Wukong explained it again.

Yang Chan shook her head: "It doesn't matter if it's a good fate or a bad fate. Anyway, the fetus can't be born in your body, so you must abide by the rules. For the sake of Guanyin Bodhisattva, I don't want your gifts and gold and silver, but I can't do without three whips."

The master and his disciples were stunned.

Yang Chan continued, "You have a lot of merits. I am not afraid to tell you that this whip was made by my master. After three whips, your merits and luck will be reduced and transferred to the two female fetuses. It can even benefit the reincarnation of the other daughters' souls, so that they can be born smoothly, enjoy a peaceful and happy life, and even embark on the path of immortality. This is indeed a good fate and practice for you Buddhists.

But I must remind you that when you are hit with this whip, you will not see wounds or bleed, but the pain is unparalleled, deep in the soul, and there is no way to relieve it. Since I came to Juxian Temple, many people have come to seek the abortion spring, but most of them dare not take it again after being whipped once, and there is only one person who was whipped three times. "

The first half of the words made Tang Seng and his disciples completely relieved.

If the girl could be born safely and smoothly, even though she would be reluctant to let her go, it would actually be much better than following them on their journey west.

Because their journey to the west is destined to be arduous, with countless monsters and demons along the way, it is even more difficult to get ordinary parental care, and it is not good for female fetuses either.

The second half of the sentence surprised them again.

Monk Sha asked, "Holy Mother, so only one person has obtained the Fountain of Abortion in recent years?"

Yang Chan nodded: "Yes." After a slight pause, she raised the corners of her lips slightly: "Do you know what happened to that person?"

Several people were stunned for a moment, and finally Wukong asked, "How?"

"That person successfully found the abortion spring and had a successful abortion after drinking it on the spot. But she didn't have much luck to begin with, and after being whipped three times by me, her luck was even more shaky. Then, on her way down the mountain, she accidentally slipped and fell off the cliff, and her body was completely destroyed."

The master and his disciples were shocked, but after thinking about it carefully, they didn't say anything.

Yang Chan looked at their expressions and said, "But the girl was blessed with good fortune and was born smoothly into a family of officials in the Tang Dynasty in the East. She was loved by her parents and was recently valued by an immortal and accepted as a disciple."

Hearing this, the master and his disciples felt relieved.

"That's a good thing!" Zhu Bajie touched his belly, "If I can use my good fortune to give her a good future, it will be much better than having her suffer with us!"

After saying this, he stepped forward and said, "Holy Mother, I am willing to be whipped three times!"

Tang Monk standing by also stepped forward and said, "Holy Mother, have mercy on me. I am willing to accept your invitation."

Sun Wukong said at this time: "Holy Mother, my master is a mortal. I wonder if I can take the punishment for him?"

Yang Chan smiled and said, "No!"

Sun Wukong felt bored and couldn't help scratching the back of his hands and his ears.

Then, a whip appeared in Yang Chan's hand, and Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie turned their backs and knelt on the ground.

Snapped!
Yang Chan swung the whip, and Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie cried out in pain and broke out in cold sweats.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing felt heartbroken but were unable to help.

At the same time, Yang Chan said: "You are not kneeling in heaven, not in Lingshan, but in the underworld."

Snapped!
The second whip fell and wailing sounded again. Zhu Bajie was still better, but Tang Sanzang's face turned pale.

Yang Chan: "What you are worshipping is not gods or Buddhas, but the true spirits of the countless souls in the Zi Mu River."

Tang Sanzang was slightly startled, then he put his hands together and silently chanted the mantra of rebirth. Syllable after syllable turned into golden words composed of the power of merit and virtue that floated up.

Zhu Bajie also shouted: "My daughter, it's not that daddy doesn't want you, it's just that you don't have a good future with daddy. Why don't you be reborn to enjoy the love of your parents and grow up happily? When daddy gets the scriptures in the future, I will definitely find a way to visit you!"

Snapped!
When the third whip fell, Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie both gritted their teeth and said nothing.

The merits and virtues that were stripped away by the whip transformed into entities, and two little girls of four or five years old were brought out of their bodies.

They faced Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, knelt down and kowtowed with a smile.

In an instant, no matter Tang Seng and Zhu Bajie, or Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing who were watching, could not help but have red eyes and burst into tears.

Zhu Bajie shouted even louder: "Daughter, I remember what you look like. Go and reincarnate well. Dad will definitely find you!" As he said this, he stripped off more of his own merits and luck and stuffed them into the girl's soul.

When Tang Seng saw this, he was inspired and immediately followed suit.

Immediately, the two girls kowtowed a few more times, then stood up and waved to everyone.

Yang Chan pinched the seal taught by Hong Chen in her hand, summoned the phantom of the Six Paths of Reincarnation Disk, and sent them into the human world.

"The matter is settled, you can do as you please!" After saying that, she turned and left.

Before Tang Monk got up, he sat cross-legged and chanted the Mantra of Rebirth.

Zhu Bajie wiped his tears, sat cross-legged and chanted with his master.

Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing also sat aside and recited scriptures silently.

The mantras for rebirth chanted by the four people shone brightly with golden light, and they all jumped into the Zimu River.

Waves rose in the river, and the sound of the waves was like a daughter's laughter.
