It is said that Tang Seng sat in the meditation hall of Baolin Temple, read "Liang Huang Water Confession" for a while, read "Peacock Sutra" for a while, and sat until the third watch, wanting to get up and rest, just put the scriptures into the baggage, and suddenly heard a strange wind blowing outside the door.
Tang Seng hurriedly covered the candle with his sleeve, the flickering light and darkness in the hall made him a little frightened, and he didn't want to suddenly get sleepy again, so he fell asleep on the desk with his eyes closed.
In a half-dream, there was a faint voice outside the door, "**Tang Seng raised his eyes and saw a wet man standing outside the door, with tears in his eyes, and kept shouting"**So he bowed and said: "Aren't you some kind of ghostly demon, god and demon, come here in the middle of the night to play me?" I am an upright person who is ordered to worship the Buddha in the west, and I have three apprentices under my command, all of whom can subdue the dragon and subdue the tiger, and subdue the demon and eliminate the monster! If they see you, they will crush you to pieces. You'd better leave as soon as possible, don't come to my Zen Gate to disturb you! ”
The man leaned against the temple door: "* I am not a demon or a demon. ”
So who are you! Why come here late at night? ”
*, you take a closer look at me. ”
Tang Seng took a closer look, only to find that this man was wearing a crown of cupola, a jasper belt around his waist, an ochre robe with dragons flying and phoenixes dancing, stepping on a pair of cloud-headed embroidered shoes under his feet, and holding a Douluo Star White Jade in his hand, he was suddenly shocked and shouted: "Which dynasty are you Your Majesty?" Have a seat! Have a seat! He stepped forward again to help, but his hands fluttered over the shadow like a moon in the water, but if he looked closely, the man was still standing in place. Tang Seng turned around and sat down and asked, "Your Majesty is the monarch of which country?" Think it's because of the restlessness of the homeland, the slanderous ministers, and the escape in the middle of the night? What do you have to say to me? ”
Then the king raised his eyebrows and wept and cried: "There is a city forty miles west of here, and this is the place where I have built my foundation. ”
What is the name of the place? ”
At that time, I founded a country and changed my nameBlack Chicken Country
Your Majesty is so alarmed, but why is it that? ”
*Five years ago, China's soil was dry for many years, and not a single inch of grass grows, and the people are not able to make a living, which is very sad. ”
Your Majesty, the ancients'The country is good-heartedPresumably because of your lack of compassion for the people? If there is a famine, you should open a position to help the people, and change your past wrongs, why do you want to hide here? ”
The country is empty, the money is exhausted, the two classes of civil and military affairs are suspended, and the widow has no meat and no food. Later, the widow followed the example of King Yu to control the water, shared weal and woe with all the people, bathed and fasted and prayed day and night, so that for three consecutive years, the river was still dry and the well was dry. I don't want to be in a crisis, suddenly from Zhongnan Mountain came a true Taoist person, can call the wind and call the rain, the stone into gold, the widow with a hundred officials invited him to the altar to pray for rain, the token sounded, and the heavy rain poured in an instant, the widow saw that the drought three feet of rain was enough, he said that the drought became a disaster, and it took two more inches to stop. I admired his talent and kindness, and immediately made friends with him eight times and called him a brother. ”
So much better! So much better! That really has this ability, to ask for rain and rain, to ask for gold, it is really a blessing for Your Majesty! It's just that why did Your Majesty give up the city and come here? ”
Since then, I have slept and eaten with him, and have always been treated as my own brother. About the past two years, one day in the spring weather, the civil and military retreat, the concubines returned to the hospital, I and that Quanzhen went to the imperial garden to enjoy the play, and arrivedOctagonal glazed wellI don't know what he left behind, ten thousand golden lights rose in the well, he took advantage of me to go to the well**, pushed the widow into the well, covered it with a stone slab, and transplanted a banana tree to compact. Pity me for three years now, and I'm just a ghost who has fallen into a well.
When Tang Seng heard that this was the ghost of a king, he was immediately frightened and his soul was scattered, but at this moment no one was around, so he had to ask tremblingly: "Your Majesty, what you said doesn't make sense." Since you have been dead for three years, why don't the concubines of the civil and military officials look for you? ”
*, that person's ability is really rare in the world, he killed me, turned around and changed into my appearance, occupied my country, invaded my country, civil and military officials, three palaces and six courtyards are all owned by him! ”
ThatMonstersThere are some magical powers, changing into your appearance, you don't know civil and military, concubines don't know, only you understand in your heart. Then why don't you tell the king of Hades and ask him to clear your grievances with you? ”
*, That Taoist is very powerful, often with the city god will drink, the dragon king has a relationship with him, Dongyue (the Emperor) is his friend, the tenth generation of Yama is his brother, I have no way to tell! ”
You can't sue him in the Yin Division, why did you come to the Yang World to find me? ”
*, I have a grievance at this point, how dare I bother you? Not to mention that there are heavens outside the mountain gate. It's just a square spotNight WandererA kamikaze sent me in, just talking about meThree years of floodingIt's going to be full, and I'm here to pay a respect**. He also said that ** has an apprentice named Monkey King, who is the best at killing demons and eliminating demons, I am determined to plead at this time, and I hope to go to my country, catch demons, and distinguish between right and wrong. I should tie the grass ring to repay the ** great favor! ”
Your Majesty wants to ask my apprentice to eradicate the monster with you? ”
Precisely! Precisely! ”
My apprentice can't do anything else, it's better to subdue demons and eliminate monsters, please! Ok please! ...It's just that there is something unreasonable in the matter, that monster has become your appearance and has made peace with hundreds of officials and concubines, even if my apprentice has some means, if he easily goes to offend, he will be placed on a great crime of deceitful and destroying the country, but it is notDraw a tiger and carve a hoof(Good things become bad things, painting tigers does not become anti-dogs, and carving hooves does not become still dogs)? ”
I have someone in the court to answer it. ”
Oh? Very good! Very good! Presumably the prince's chamberlain who was exiled? ”
It's not the prince, it's my biological prince, the prince. ”
That prince was deposed by demons? ”
No, the prince talks to the bachelor on weekdays, and talks with Quanzhen, but he has been banned from entering the palace for the past three years, and he is not allowed to meet his mother. ”
Why is that? ”
The monster made a plan, afraid that their mother and son would see each other, and confirmed each other's truth and falsehood in the idle talk, exposing his false face. ”
Your calamity (zhǖn, difficulty, frustration) is somewhat similar to mine. My father was killed by water thieves, my mother was bullied by water thieves, and three months later gave birth to me and put me in the river to drift. During this time, your prince lost his parents, and you can see how ashamed and uneasy he is in his heart. Even if you have the crown prince in court, how can I meet him? ”
Tomorrow he will lead three thousand men out of the city to hunt, ** will be able to meet him, you tell him about it, he will believe it. ”
The prince was originally a mortal with the naked eye, and he lived with monsters all day long, which day did he not call a few words of 'father'? How can you believe my words? ”
The king put the gold-inlaid white marble in his hand on the ground: "This thing can be faith." ”
What is it? ”
I never leave this jade, and that person has changed into my appearance, but this jade is missing, and it should be a lie. If the prince sees it, he will definitely see things and think about people, and he will be convinced. ”
That's it! I will keep it until my disciple and you dispose of it. - And you're going to wait here? ”
Can't! So I went and begged the night wandering god to send me into the inner courtyard of the palace again, and to make a dream with my queen of the main palace, so that their mother and son could help together. ”
So go ahead. ”
The king kowtowed goodbye, Tang Seng got up to see him off, he didn't want to suddenly fall on his head, and suddenly woke up, only to find that everything was actually a dream of Nan Ke, and hurriedly shouted: "Apprentice!" Apprentice! ”
Zhu Bajie was the first to wake up and shouted: ".What's the land! Land! ’？Back then, the old pig was a good man in Fuling Mountain, eating people all day long, and he was fishy, how happy! Later, you, a monk, came, and asked us to be monks to protect you from the long way! I said to be a monk! Now you're using us as slaves! Lead the horse to carry the luggage during the day and do chores at night(Warm).Foot Lift Night Pot! Why do you call an 'apprentice' if you don't sleep so late?
Apprentice, I just lay on the desk and took a nap and had a strange dream! ”
Sun Wukong jumped up: "* I think about it every day and dream about it at night (dreams come from thinking)." Before you go up the mountain, you are afraid of monsters, and you are worried that the road to Leiyin Temple is far away, and then you think about Chang'an City and don't know when to return, so you want to dream a lot, like Lao Sun is bent on going to the West to see the Buddha, so there is no dream to disturb. ”
Tang Seng told the king of the Wuji country in Fang Cai's dream, and Sun Wukong said with a smile: "He came to support his dream, obviously to take care of Lao Sun's business, presumably there must be a monster usurping power in him, wait for me to distinguish the truth from the false." ”
Apprentice, he said that the monster has great powers. ”
What kind of supernatural powers are you afraid of him? As soon as Lao Sun goes, he will be cornered! ”
I remember what he left behind as a letter. ”
Zhu Bajie shouted: "* Don't mess around anymore, just dream, why do you take it seriously?" ”
Sha Seng said: "'If you don't believe in being straight, you must guard against benevolenceLet's open the door and see. If you don't believe in being straight, you must guard against benevolenceThere are straight trees in the mountains, but there are no straight people in the world. From "Zengguang Xianwen", beware of superficial integrity and benevolence. In fact, it is more appropriate to translate it as "it is better to believe that it exists, not to believe that it does not exist".
Sun Wukong opened the door to check, and saw that there was really a gold-inlaid white jade in front of the moonlight ** steps. Zhu Bajie stepped forward and picked it up: "Brother, what is this?" ”
This is the treasure that the king holds in his hand, and it is called 'Jade'. * Since there is this thing, I think this matter is also true, and tomorrow's demon will be wrapped up in Lao Sun. It's just that you also have three things to do, top cylinder, gas, and plague. I'm afraid it's going to affect your cultivation and low. ”
Zhu Bajie shouted: "Okay! Good! Good! It's just a dream, and you have to tell Senior Brother that Senior Brother is the best at playing tricks on people, and this won't even affect your low cultivation! ”
Tang Seng ignored Zhu Bajie's nonsense and asked, "What are the three things?" ”
Needless to say, I'll give you two things first. Sun Wukong plucked a hair, and shouted "change"! Turned into a red lacquered wooden box, put the white jade in it and handed it to Tang Seng: "* You take this thing, put on the brocade robe and go to the main hall to meditate and recite the scriptures at dawn." I'll go to the black chicken country to find out first, if there is a monster, it will be a merit to kill it on the spot, if it is not a monster, I don't dare to cause trouble. Besides, the prince, if he does not go out of the city, if he really dreams of going out of the city, I will bring him here to see you. ”
Precisely! Precisely! It's just that I met the prince, how should I talk? ”
When the prince arrived, I told you in advance that you should open the wooden box and wait for me to become a two-inch-tall little monk and hide in it. When the prince enters the temple, he will inevitably come to the main hall to worship the Buddha, and you don't care how he worships the Buddha. When he sees that you are sitting here and obstructing your rudeness, he will give orders to take you, but you will ignore it, and let him take you, tie you up, and kill you.
Yikes! The prince reprimanded the military order, what should I do if I really kill me? ”
* Don't worry, I'm here, and I'll protect you when it comes to that critical moment. - If he asks, you will say that it is a monk from the Tang Dynasty in the East who went to the West to learn the scriptures and treasures, and if he asks what treasure, you will take out the Jinlan robe, and only say that this is a third-class treasure, and there are first-class and second-class treasures in the baggage. Ask again, you said that there is a treasure in the wooden box, 500 years of knowledge, 500 years of knowledge, 500 years of knowledge, the past and the future 1,500 years of things are known, and then release the old grandson, I will tell him about the things in the dream, if he believes, I will go with him to capture the monster, avenge his father, let's settle down. If he doesn't believe it, show him the white jade again. ”
Apprentice, this plan is really wonderful! It's just that one of these babies is called Jinlan robe, and the other is called Bai Yujue, what should you call when you become a little monk? ”
It's called'Emperor goods'Let's go. ”
Combined with the plot before and after, "Emperor Goods" can be understood as "the person who re-established the emperor", but I turned over some information, and there is a transliteration of "redeemer", which is the title of Jesus in the ** religion - "savior".
* When the religion was introduced to China in the eighth year of Tang Zhenguan, when missionaries mentioned Jesus, most of them said, "What is the emperor's goods, what is the emperor's goods."
