Journey to the West: Asking the Heavens

Chapter 790
"Amitabha, the world of mortals is ten thousand zhang, it's just a big dream, don't you understand, junior?"

The epilepsy monk sighed, but stretched out the broken fan in his hand, and waved lightly at Tang Seng. Suddenly, Tang Seng became dizzy and lay down on the table, losing consciousness.

Mo Yuan raised his brows, stroked his palms and smiled and said, "You have the supernatural powers in the universe in your dreams. Venerable Kasyapa, I have long admired your name."

"The stinky monk is here to make trouble, I really don't have any eyes!" Chang'e Yu's face turned cold, and she scolded.

A wry smile appeared on the corner of Ji Dian's mouth, he uttered the Buddha's name in a low voice, restrained his madness, bowed respectfully to several people, and said: "The poor monk has seen Emperor Zhenwu, Fairy Chang'e, and the great dragon. General, I hope you will forgive me for the poor monk's disrespect today."

The crazy appearance just now was just a disguise in front of Tang Seng. Now that Tang Seng is asleep, he naturally dare not be rude in front of several people.These gods and demons, even the weakest great dragon is Taiyi Jinxian, the general under Zhenwu's command, not to mention the Chang'e Fairy of Guanghan Palace and Emperor Zhenwu face to face, even the Tathagata must hold the ceremony here, Let alone him.

Mo Yuandao: "It's okay, it's okay, we were just pretending, it's just that the venerable came here this time, it's against the rules, and I didn't make things difficult for the pilgrim, just to test his ambition to learn the scriptures, how can I get the venerable to come in person?" ?!"

Even if Tang Seng really agreed, it is impossible for Chang'e to marry such a bald thing. She is only here to help with acting, not to do fake plays for real. This Tang Seng is not so charming!

Mo Yuan just wanted to use this to make things difficult for Buddhism, and never wanted to kill this monk. Killing this monk is undoubtedly equivalent to digging the ancestral grave of Buddhism. Although the hatred between Mo Yuan and Buddhism cannot be resolved, who made him not enough? There are two saints in charge, but he dare not go too far, otherwise, those two saints will really go crazy!
What he was thinking was that Guanyin and the other four sages were trying their Zen mind, even if this monk was really indulging in Chang'e's beauty, he would just throw her in the wilderness, pat his butt and leave.

It's just that he didn't expect that this Buddhist sect was so protective of the calf, it was just a test, and even sent a big Luo Jinxian to help Tang Seng, it really guarded against him to the bone!

Ji Dian gave another wry smile, and said, "So that Your Majesty can know that it's not the poor monk who wants to come here, but the Buddha's decree, which the poor monk has to obey. Shallow, I'm afraid I can't resist, so the poor monk will help him, I hope the fairy and Your Majesty don't blame the poor monk for coming to the door without authorization."

Mo Yuan sneered in his heart, this guy was thinking good things, he messed up his calculations, and wanted to get out of his body, it was really a dream.That Tang Monk is a Buddhist scripture learner, so he can't move easily, but this monk is not, so let him handle it? !

As long as this fellow is not beaten to death, no one can say anything wrong with him!
As soon as he thought of this, his eyes showed a bit of playfulness, and he said: "My lord, you are willing to bet with me. If you win, these small things will be ignored, and if you lose, Just like the monkeys suppressed under the Five Elements Mountain, I want to seal you here for a thousand years, do you dare to accept it?"

"Then why dare not?!"

Ji Dian smiled and agreed without hesitation, "I just don't know what your majesty is going to bet with the poor monk?"

The left and right are nothing more than a thousand-year seal, Ji Dian asked himself that it took more than these years to take a nap in the past, so what was he afraid of?
He is different from that monkey. The monkey has not lived for five hundred years in total, so he naturally finds it extremely difficult to be at the foot of the mountain, but his Zen mind has long been cultivated to be as immovable as a mountain, and he has been sealed here for thousands of years. Maybe he can take the opportunity to hide After 500 years of evil, he will naturally not refuse, not to mention that he may not lose!

Seeing Kasyapa nodding, Mo Yuan pointed at Tang Monk with a smile and said, "Let's bet on this Master Xuanzang. Isn't the supernatural power in your dream to help him see through the world of mortals and cut off ordinary thoughts? If I don't intervene, Master Xuanzang still can't give up his thoughts after waking up!"

"That's a deal!" Ji Dian replied with a smile.

The universe in his dream can experience a whole life in the dream, and the dream is born from the heart, the dream must be based on the deepest and most persistent thoughts in the person's heart, and the ending, it must lead him to be good, see through the world of mortals, and the four things are all empty .

Since the completion of cultivation, he has tested all kinds of spirits, as long as Mo Yuan does not intervene, it is absolutely impossible for mistakes to occur.

The two made a bet, but Tang Seng didn't know it, he woke up from the dream, the sky was already dark, and the two dragon and phoenix candles were half lit.

Looking up, Tang Seng found that his monk's robe had long been replaced by a red auspicious blessing. In this room, there were bright red happy characters and colored silk everywhere, and on that big ivory bed, there was a red wedding dress sitting on the big ivory bed. The beautiful figure in the clothes, with graceful curves and white wrists like snow, who else is it?
Tang Seng couldn't help being dazed for a while, this scene had already appeared in his dream yesterday, but today it has become a reality, how can you believe it for a while?

When he was hesitating and thinking, he heard the beautiful figure calling out: "Husband, what are you doing standing there stupidly, good nights are too short, so don't delay the auspicious time."

This female voice is like the first cry of a yellow oriole, and the sound is like a silver bell, which is extremely pleasant to the ear. All of a sudden, there is nothing left in Tang Seng's mind. The thoughts of learning scriptures, becoming a monk, returning to vulgarity, etc. are all turned into eyes at this moment. This beautiful shadow.

He walked forward, with the fire of lust flickering in his eyes, he gently lifted the red cloth, looked at the peerless face in front of him, and embraced him immediately.

It goes without saying that being turned into a red wave will be romantic overnight.

The next day, after meeting his father-in-law and mother-in-law, Tang Seng indulged in the gentleness of the country and couldn't extricate himself. The Mo family property was rich, and he didn't need any special skills. He just accompanied his wife every day, read some Buddhist scriptures and essays in his spare time, and spent his days leisurely.

Soon, A'e gave birth to two lovely sons, one son and one daughter, making her life even more happy.

However, luck and misfortune depend on each other, such a peaceful life has not passed long, when Mo Yuan went out to hunt, but accidentally fell into the deep mountains, leaving no bones left, and without the Tai Bao in charge, only the old man was left as the owner of the village The man and his wife are both old and weak, and the servants in the village immediately thought of something else.

These servants are all hunters in the mountains. As the saying goes, troublesome people come out of poor mountains and rivers. When Mo Yuan was alive, with his force intimidating, no one would dare to think about it. Scholar, how can you scare these people?
Not long after Mo Yuan's death, these servants pretended to be robbers at night, ransacked the village, and beheaded all the children of the old lady and Tang Seng. Tang Seng fled with all his might, but A'e But it was Mrs. Yazhai who fell into the hands of thieves and eventually became the leader of the bandit.

Tang Seng's heart ached like a knife, but he was a monk before, near the two boundary mountains, he had no relatives, and was alone, so what if he was dissatisfied?

He could only watch all this happen, but in the end, he went back to his old profession, ordained as a monk, and became a monk again.

But the monks now have a very different state of mind than the monks before.

The original Tang monk, with the sufferings of the common people in mind, wanted to ask for the truth to save the world.

But now, he is a person who represses all pain and uncomfortable emotions in his heart, borrows his family to hide from the world, and looks like a walking dead.

In the blink of an eye, twenty years have passed, and Tang Seng has also taken up the position of abbot. Thanks to his superb Zen practice, the temple he is in has become the most prosperous temple in Liangjie Mountain.

On this day, as usual, he was welcoming guests in the monastery, and a young novice came to report that a distinguished guest had come, so he immediately went out to greet him.

The distinguished guests are the general's wife and the young master. The two of them went back to the hometown with the general to visit their relatives. The lady has always believed in Buddhism and heard the name of the Buddhist temple here, so she wanted to come to offer incense.

Tang Seng heard the message of Shami, and he knew it. He has been the abbot for many years. Although there are not many nobles who have served him, there are definitely not a few, especially the family members of military officers. no eyes.

However, when he saw the madam and young master in the meditation room, his mind of meditation that he had practiced for more than twenty years was broken immediately, and tears welled up in his eyes!
But I saw that lady, about 40 years old, with icy skin and snow skin, plump figure, and a beautiful face, compared with the past, she was a little less youthful, but a little more mature and gorgeous.

It's just a pity that for such a beauty, there is a trace of indelible sadness in those beautiful eyes, I really feel pity for her.

This beautiful woman is none other than A'e!
Tang Seng's heart was surging, but there were many people in the meditation room, no matter how excited he was, he didn't dare to show it, so he could only forcefully suppress it, but the palms of the man kept trembling, revealing his excitement.

A'e looked at the abbot with some strangeness. Unlike her, Tang Seng suffered 20 years of suffering, and lived a poor life in the Buddhist temple, but his appearance changed drastically, his face was covered with wrinkles, and there were only a few familiar outlines, vaguely resembling an old friend.

But A'e didn't care too much, in the past when he encountered a catastrophe, the man had no strength to restrain a chicken, he must have died many years ago, there are countless similar people in this world, and she has met many times in these years.

She said: "The Zen master is very similar to an old friend of my concubine's."

Tang Seng felt a pain in his heart, almost couldn't restrain it, and recognized each other on the spot, but finally endured it, he forced himself to be calm and said: "Madam was joking, poor monk has never seen Madam before."

That A'e smiled and stopped talking, and the next step was the usual process of accompanying the distinguished guests, asking the Buddha to release the lottery, visiting the temple, and having a vegetarian meal by the way.

Tang Seng never felt that the time in this world was so fast. In a blink of an eye, it was getting late and the woman was about to leave.

He simply had no time to be alone with this woman, nor could he reveal his identity to her.

In the end, seeing A'e leave helplessly, his heart ached, but he secretly inquired about his identity, and finally found out that this general was the bandit leader who wiped out Mojiazhuang back then.

When he went out to join the army, he had a lot of chances, made a lot of military achievements, and finally became a high-ranking member of the party. He even had a lovely wife by his side, and had both children under his knees, so that others would envy him!

Tang Seng secretly scolded God for his lack of eyesight, and thoughts of revenge and recognition of A'e had already been moved in his heart.

It's just that he was born as a general, not to mention his own skills, but the strict guards made it impossible for Tang Seng to strike.

After hesitating for a few days, Tang Seng finally had no illusions about revenge, but he could no longer hold back the desire to recognize Ah'e.

He found an excuse for a practice meeting, and sent a novice to deliver an invitation letter written by A'e himself. A'e was very familiar with his handwriting.

However, things in the world are not as he expected. Ah E has never seen that one night, countless masked thieves broke into the Buddhist temple, burned, killed and looted, turning the entire temple into a sea of ​​flames.

As the host, Tang Seng was not killed. Instead, he was taken away by these thieves and sent to a prison.

There, he didn't see Ah'e whom he was thinking about, but he saw the bandit leader and his son whom he hated to the bone.

It turned out that when A'e saw the invitation, she lost her mind and passed out. In the faint, she still hugged the invitation tightly and kept calling out his name. The bandit leader and his children found out that there was a difference. , the bandit leader decided to exterminate him!

There was no torture or torture, and the bandit leader stabbed Tang Seng's heart with his own hand.

When he was confused, Tang Seng vaguely saw a big golden Buddha in front of him. The treasure was solemn and his face was full of compassion. It was the Tathagata Buddha. , don’t you realize it yet?”

……

"Amitabha……"

Mo Yuan and others watched the sleeping Tang Monk with tears falling from the corners of his eyes, and then slowly woke up, chanting the Buddha's name, saying: "My Buddha is merciful, Xuanzang understands."

Naturally, the dreams he experienced could not be hidden from the eyes of Mo Yuan, Chang'e and others. The epilepsy monk said with a smile: "Okay, okay, it's good if you realize it. The world of mortals is suffering, and all living beings are suffering. Xuanzang, you must get the scriptures." , to save sentient beings."

However, Tang Monk ignored him and just looked at Chang'e blankly, his eyes full of affection and said: "It turned out to be a big dream, A'e benefactor, long time no see."

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Chang'e smiled and asked, "I wonder if your mind has changed after this big dream?"

"The meaning of the poor monk has never changed, it's just that this big dream made the poor monk recognize his true heart." Tang Seng said with a vicissitudes of life.

"It's good to recognize your true heart. A big dream in the world of mortals is like a dream. It's better for junior brother to get on the road as soon as possible." Ji Dian said with a smile.

Undoubtedly, he won this match. Not only did he fulfill the entrustment of the Tathagata Buddha, but he also won the bet made by Emperor Zhenwu, so he should be laughing.

However, at the next moment, what Tang Seng said made his expression change suddenly.

Tang Seng said: "Brother, the Buddha does not pass through people, and the one who passes through others is only himself. The poor monk has decided to return to the vulgar, marry A'e, and then take her to Chang'an to obtain fame. A man is born in the world. Only those who can shade their wives and protect their children can punish evil and promote good."
