Chapter 921 Sun Wukong changes and provokes the greedy monk Duanmu Huai to destroy Guanyin Yuan (Part 1)
"Master————!!"
When Duanmuhuai walked to the rock, he saw the monkey with a gray head and a dusty face, rolling and crawling towards him.
"Hey, are you still alive?"
"Master, what did you do just now? Even the Buddha could turn his palm into a mountain and explode it. This is the first time I have seen such a skill!"
At this moment, Sun Wukong was also terrified. After all, the mountain just exploded on him. If the monkey hadn't been made of copper and iron, it would have turned into meat paste by now.
"Haha..."
Faced with Sun Wukong's words, Duanmu Huai just chuckled.
"So, you are my apprentice?"
"That's right, from now on, I, Sun, will be your master's disciple! Meet the master!"
This monkey knows some politeness. When he heard Duanmu Huai's words, he hurriedly sang "O" and bowed down.
"Well, what methods do you have?"
"Reply to Master, my grandson..."
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Sun Wukong also talked happily, but Duanmuhuai just listened with an unchanging expression. Of course, Duanmuhuai must know what Sun Wukong is capable of, but at least he has to go through the process.
Well, sure enough, when Sun Wukong talked about the seventy-two transformations, Duanmu Huai's eyes flashed.
"You said, you know seventy-two changes?"
"Yes, Master."
"Okay, then do whatever you want."
"………………Change to what?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Sun Wukong looked confused, while Duanmuhuai raised his eyebrows.
"Look, it's a long way to the West. You can't let Master walk there on two legs, right? Turn into a big insect or something. Isn't it your duty as a disciple to carry Master on his back?"
“……………………”
"Hurry up, an elephant can do it if it's not a big insect. If you have the ability, you can turn into a Tyrannosaurus Rex or a Triceratops or something. I won't pick it."
"This...Master...you said this..."
It has to be said that when faced with Duanmu Huai's strange request, Monkey King felt bad. He looked up and down at Duanmu Huai, who was taller and burlier than himself, almost as strong as a monster, and he could see that he couldn't ride a horse like this. But he, the majestic Monkey King, transforms into a camel and goes to the West to learn scriptures?
He doesn't want to lose face?
Anyone else would have dared to talk to Monkey King like this and smashed him down with a stick, but looking at Duanmu Huai's fists as big as purple gold bowls... and then thinking about how he just blew up Wuzhishan...
"Master, wait a moment, let me, Grandson, think of a way!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Sun Wukong somersaulted and flew directly into the sky.
Duanmu Huai didn't take it seriously. He was not afraid that Sun Wukong would run away. After all, he was not the wimp in the original work. Without Sun Wukong, he would have been eaten long ago. For someone like him, he still doesn't know whether the monster is eating him or he is eating the monster.
After a while, Sun Wukong was seen riding the auspicious clouds back again, but it was different from before. This time, Sun Wukong was also holding a tall horse behind him, all pure white. He looks taller than Duanmu Huai, and his whole body is muscular. He looks like a good horse at first glance.
"Huh...Master, I found it for you."
Looking at Duanmu Huai now, Sun Wukong was also speechless. You must know that he was originally Bima Wen in the heaven, who was responsible for raising horses. Of course, Sun Wukong himself did not want to mention this matter, and only regarded it as a black history. As a result, if he had no other choice, he would have to become a camel rider - this Sun Wukong would not do it even if he died.
So the monkey thought about it, and finally decided to go to the Tiangong to pull a Pegasus. After all, he, the majestic Monkey King, could not become a mount!
"This is a Pegasus horse from heaven. It can travel thousands of miles in a day without any problem. It is huge and strong. It is perfect for you to ride, Master..."
At this moment, Monkey ignored Bi Mawen's taboo and hurriedly introduced him to Duanmu Huai. After all, Bi Mawen is also an official, but the mount is not even an official, right?
"It's done, that's it."
Fortunately, Duanmuhuai didn't mean to cause trouble for the monkey. Seeing that the horse in front of him did look like that, he nodded in agreement. After all, Tang Monk always rides a white horse when he goes out, so of course he has to ride a white horse to be like that.
So Duanmu Huai also took the cassock from the bag and put it on himself, then mounted the Pegasus and posed in a pose.
"What do you think of my teacher?"
"Master, where did you beat up a monk, take out his luggage, and get this outfit?"
"Get out!"
With the Pegasus, Duanmuhuai naturally no longer needs to walk, so he rides on the horse, and Sun Wukong leads the horse, and continues to walk leisurely to the west.
Sun Wukong was also puzzled along the way. Looking at Duanmu Huai's appearance, he didn't look like a monk who devoted himself to worshiping Buddha. Why did he want to go to the west to obtain scriptures, so he took the opportunity to ask on the way.
"Master, you don't look like a Buddhist monk. Why did you take this unjust path to the West to seek scriptures?"
"It's about taking, not asking for."
Duanmuhuai glanced at Sun Wukong.
"The saint Avalokitesvara appeared in front of him and said that Mahayana Buddhism can save death and relieve suffering, and live a long life without deterioration. It can resolve the knot of hundreds of grievances and eliminate all disasters. The Sa family would like to see if this Buddhism really has this effect. If it does, Just grab it. If you talk nonsense, don't blame the Sa family for turning against him in public and killing him in the Western Heaven Buddha Land. Look at these thieves who dare to talk nonsense and confuse the public!"
"......Master, you are......"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's murderous words, even Sun Wukong was speechless for a moment and didn't know what to say.
Is this really the person who is authorized by Guanshiyin to learn scriptures?
Could it be that Guanyin couldn't subjugate him, so he asked me, Old Sun, to bear the thunder?
Thinking back when I, Old Sun, was making trouble in the Heavenly Palace, I'm afraid I wasn't so lawless. While they were talking, the two of them walked forward, and Sun Wukong looked up and saw pavilions and buildings in the woods, and hurriedly changed the topic.
"Master, you see there is a house in front of you, either a palace or a temple. How about we go and take a look?"
Then the two of them walked all the way, and then came to the foot of the mountain. As expected, they saw that there were many temples on the mountain, which looked like a beautiful scenery. You could tell at a glance...
“You can tell right away that this is not a good place.”
Duanmuhuai glanced at it and sneered.
"Why did Master say this?"
"Isn't this simple?"
As he spoke, Duanmuhuai raised his hand and pointed at the mountain gate courtyard in front of him.
"This temple is far away in the mountains. It does not receive incense and has never seen pilgrims. However, it is so luxurious and gorgeous that it costs a lot of money at a glance. Haha, the Buddha asked his followers to abandon their belongings every day, but they themselves are very diligent in using it, saying To put it bluntly, this requires believers to leave everything behind, just to build houses and build Buddha statues for them.”
Having said this, Duanmu Huai showed a cold smile. Of course he knew that this was Guanyin Temple. In fact, in the novel, the elders here were jealous of Tang Sanzang's cassock and tried to burn him to death and seize the cassock.
Of course, there are such temples, but the problem is that when Sun Wukong went to see Guanyin, Guanyin personally admitted that this temple was her Liuyun lower courtyard, which would be a big problem.
You see, when the monks in this temple saw Tang Sanzang's cassock, their first reaction was to kill people and seize the treasure. Moreover, there were swords and guns in the temple. You wouldn't believe it if you said it was their first time doing this. Moreover, you are a unit directly under Guanyin, and you all have this virtue. Does Guanyin really not know, or is he pretending not to know?
And at that time, Guanyin actually blamed Sun Wukong for taking out his cassock and showing off in front of others to cause trouble, instead of criticizing his own followers?
Oh, if I don't show off, you won't steal it from me, so I'm still wrong, right?
Think about it again. In the novel, Guanyin changed into a skinny monk when she went to Chang'an in order to warn others not to judge a book by its appearance.
As a result, your own Liuyun Courtyard was built so luxuriously?
Well, this reminded Duanmu Huai of what he had read in the newspaper about a senior official who lived in a work unit dormitory and wore eighteen patches of clothing. He had several seaside villas abroad.
Hahaha... It's a pity that Xitian doesn't have this unit, otherwise I think your Guanyin will probably be taken away on the spot during the Land and Water Conference one day.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai's eyes were slightly cold and he waved his hand towards Sun Wukong.
"Come on, how about we play a fun game?"
"Game? Master, what game?"
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, Sun Wukong was stunned for a moment, and then came to Duanmu Huai's side. Then the master and the disciple whispered to each other for a moment, and then Sun Wukong's eyes lit up.
"Is it really possible? Master?"
"Let's try it, what? Do you want to do it or not?"
"Of course, Master, please feel free to leave it to me, Old Sun!"
After a while, the two of them packed up and came to the door of the temple. At this moment, Sun Wukong had transformed. According to Duanmuhuai, he had become the fat and useless monk in Journey to the West. Duanmuhuai, wearing a bamboo hat and pretending to be a servant, led the horse behind.
When the two came to the door, they saw the central door of the temple wide open, and then several monks came out. The leading monk also hurriedly saluted.
"Where do you two come from?"
Faced with the monk's inquiry, Monkey King's Tang Monk also hurriedly put his hands together and saluted.
"I... No, I came from the Eastern Tang Dynasty and went to Leiyin Temple to pray to Buddha and seek scriptures. It will be getting late here, so I want to spend the night in the temple."
"Oh, please come in, please come in..."
Hearing the answer, the monk inside also smiled and hurriedly invited him in. When he saw Duanmu Huai wearing a bamboo hat behind him, he was also frightened.
"This is..."
"Oh, he is my apprentice. He will accompany me all the way. With him by my side, I won't be afraid of bandits."
"That's true."
Looking at Duanmu Huai holding a stick, the monk nodded without thinking. After all, this monk has traveled a long way to the West, and the road must be full of dangers. It is indeed much safer to have such a disciple by his side.
So under the guidance of the monks, the two came to the rear and met the abbot. I saw that the abbot had the same pointy ears and monkey cheeks as in the TV series, and was dressed luxuriously. At first glance, he did not look like a good person. Then there was a tea boy holding a mutton-fat jade tea tray and serving tea. Even the good tea in the cup was of the highest quality.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai and Sun Wukong looked at each other silently, each showing a trace of disdain. Although it is considered etiquette to entertain guests well, this is a monastery and you are not a wealthy official. Monks don't want to live in poverty all day long, but who do you show these crappy things to?
As expected, the abbot soon changed his tune and began to inquire about the net worth of Duanmu Huai and his party, and Sun Wukong had already taken out the cassock under Duanmu Huai's hint. After seeing Duanmuhuai's cassock, the old abbot's eyes naturally shone with joy. He asked to watch the cassock for one night and return it to everyone the next day. Sun Wukong naturally nodded in agreement under Duanmu Huai's suggestion.
After finishing the fast meal, the two went into the room to rest. As soon as Sun Wukong entered the room, he immediately transformed into his original form.
"Huh...Master, have you seen it?"
"Of course, that thief's eyes were about to pop out. How could I not see it?"
Hearing Sun Wukong's words, Duanmu Huai sneered.
"You have good ears, what are these people's plans?"
"Hey, there's no need to plan. My old grandson has already heard it. These monks planned to give us a sweat medicine, then chop us with a knife and bury us in the backyard, and then get our cassocks and horses. I feel so uncomfortable."
"Hmph."
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai's face darkened. In the novel, this group of monks set fire to the temple because Sun Wukong appeared in his true form at that time. The monkey didn't look like a human being, so everyone was afraid of him. But at least he looked like a human being, so these monks were really cruel and ruthless - even if Duan Muhuai said that this was the first time they had done something like this, he would be beaten to death.
"I thought they were going to chop us up and make human meat buns, but it seems they were close."
As Duanmuhuai spoke, he stood up and clenched his fists.
"Then, let us teach them a lesson!"
