Chapter 492 Taibai Jinxing: Is it normal for civil servants to fight? [Asking for monthly tickets]
“Elder Tang, this is the Hezhou Wei Fuyuan Temple!”
In the sunset, Xuanzang rode a white horse, led by the Hezhou Wei officials. We arrived at the entrance of a local temple and planned to rest here for the night before hitting the road again early tomorrow morning.
Xuan Zang got off his horse and thanked the officials. The novice monk in the temple took the horse away and took the two porters to a side yard to rest.
The abbot of the temple led the monks and went out to greet Xuanzang. They also prepared various kinds of vegetarian meals for Xuanzang.
"I have caused trouble to you all."
Xuan Zang bowed and recited the scripture silently before sitting down and starting to eat.
The abbot of the temple read Xuanzang’s customs clearance document and returned it with both hands, with deep respect in his words:
“I didn’t expect that the holy monk was actually your majesty’s sworn brother. It is my blessing to come to this temple!”
Xuan Zang stuffed the certificate into the backpack given by Li Yu, smiled and said a few polite words, and continued to eat his vegetarian meal.
After the meal, he preached scriptures to everyone as usual and elaborated on some core concepts of Buddhism. It was not until night fell that he walked into the Zen room to prepare for a rest.
Before going to bed, he took out his mobile phone and read the original text of the electronic version of "Journey to the West".
“After Fuyuan Temple is the territory of the three demons of Gongzhou. Wouldn’t the two porters be eaten soon?”
After understanding the core essence of fetching scriptures, Xuanzang was very interested in I am no longer afraid of going west, but I can't bear the thought of my entourage being eaten.
“The purpose of worshiping Buddha and seeking scriptures is to do good deeds, so how can we waste other people’s lives?”
Xuanzang thought about it again and again and came up with a plan.
At the fourth watch of the next day, as the rooster crows, Xuanzang gets dressed and gets up.
I put on my cassock and came to the side yard. The two porters had also woken up. One was packing luggage and the other was feeding water to the white horse. When they saw Xuanzang, they quickly saluted.
Xuan Zang opened the zipper of his backpack, took out two gold ingots from it, and handed them to the porters:
"We have already left the Datang border. You two can send them here. The rest The poor monk can just walk on his own. Please keep these two gold ingots. If you want to make a living by marrying and having children, our acquaintance will not be in vain.”
The two porters quickly knelt down and asked if they had offended the elder.
Xuan Zang said with a smile:
“You two are very good and have taken good care of the poor monk along the way. But as the saying goes, our fate has come to an end. It's time for you to go another way."
These two people were destined to die violently. Xuanzang was worried that driving them away would cause other accidents to happen to them, so he asked them to sit down cross-legged. , he deliberately recited a section of the "Diamond Sutra" to strengthen the souls of the two of them, then recited the "Peacock Sutra" to pray for the blessing of the Peacock King, and finally the "Ksitigarbha Sutra" to let his senior brother Ksitigarbha take care of them.
After reciting the three passages, it was already past the fifth watch. The soup and rice in the temple were ready. After the two porters had eaten, they made baggies from their luggage and hung them on the horses. They knelt down and kowtowed to Xuanzang. bid farewell.
However, the two of them did not intend to go far, but stayed near Weifuyuan Temple in Hezhou:
"The two of us followed the holy monk to the west to obtain scriptures under His Majesty's order. Now the holy monk insists on going alone, and the two of us Just stay here and wait for the holy monk to return from studying the scriptures, and then we will go back to Chang'an together!"
This not only moved Tang Seng, but also the gods such as Ksitigarbha, Zhang Daoling and Taibai Jinxing who were secretly protecting him sighed.
Ksitigarbha also specifically asked Cui Jue to extend the lifespan of the two of them, so that they could show their faces in Chang'an and enjoy wealth and wealth for the rest of their lives when they return from Buddhist scriptures.
Farewell to the two porters and the monks of Fuyuan Temple, Xuanzang mounted the white horse and embarked on the westward journey alone.
It was late autumn at this time, heavy fog filled the air, the grass on the roadside had turned yellow, and there was still a thin layer of frost hanging on it. Xuanzang said to himself as he walked:
"Such a chilling scene, really. It looks like disaster is about to happen. "
Twenty miles westward, a man and a horse walked into the mountains. There was no road ahead. They had to clear the grass and find it slowly. As they were walking, the white horse's feet were empty. Xuanzang fell into the huge pit together with his men and horses.
"Hahahaha, another prey has been delivered to the door. Guys, hurry up and pull the prey up. I am going to treat Mr. Xiong Shanjun and the Special Agent to dinner at noon!"
"Yes! ”
Soon, a group of ferocious fairies came to the trap and pulled Xuanzang, the white horse and their luggage out.
Everyone pushed Xuanzang into a cave. Xuanzang saw the mountain king here. He was actually a monster with the head of a tiger and the body of a tiger. He looked ferocious and terrifying, with a tall and thick body, and his whole body exuded a fishy smell.
"Your Majesty, he is a bald monk!"
"Huh? Monk? That's great. Monks are vegetarians, and their meat is more tender. It's suitable for steaming and eating with garlic paste..."
Just as he was talking, two goblins came outside, one with a bull head and a body, nearly three meters tall, and the other with a bear head and a body, as strong as a hill.
They are obviously fairies, but they greet each other like humans.
The bear-headed goblin bowed his hands to the tiger-headed goblin:
"General Yin, how have you been lately?"
"Very good, haven't we caught another monk? "How's the tiger doing lately?"
The bear-headed goblin patted his belly:
"It's good, but I haven't eaten meat for a long time and I'm so hungry."
Hearing this, the tiger-headed demon raised his head and smiled:
"Today, let's steam this monk and eat it with garlic paste." , I guarantee that the tiger will enjoy it!"
After that, he exchanged a few words with the bull-headed goblin who claimed to be a virgin, with a hint of sternness in his voice, and repeatedly emphasized that he should steam it and eat it with garlic paste.
Xuan Zang: "..."
Are you meeting a garlic lover?
Why don’t you dip it in garlic paste every time you say it?
At this time, the little demons started to boil water. Xuanzang found that Taibai Jinxing had not come to save him yet, so he secretly muttered:
"Is there any triggering condition needed?"
He recalled the content in the original work, and it seemed that every time he encountered this situation, he would cry and complain... Could this be the triggering condition?
Thinking that his senior brother might be squatting with a group of immortals to observe in secret at this time, Xuanzang not only couldn't cry, but even wanted to laugh a little.
But when the little demon carried him to the steamer, Xuanzang finally couldn't help it:
"It's pitiful that I set out to obtain the true scriptures, but it ended here." It’s so hard to live here!”
General Yin, who was drinking tea with two friends in the distance, heard this and joked with a smile:
“What a monk, you actually want to Learning from the scriptures... It’s really hard for such an aspiring monk to eat. Guys, use a gentle fire!”
The meat steamed over slow fire is more tender and more delicious when dipped in minced garlic.
The little demons agreed and were just about to take off Xuanzang's clothes, clean them and steam them in a pot, when a golden light suddenly burst into light in the dark cave, and a Taoist priest with white beard and hair and white robes came out. Appearing in the golden light, he waved his fly whisk, and the rope on Xuanzang's body was automatically disconnected.
With another flick of the whisk, Xuanzang arrived outside the cave. At the door was his white horse, carrying luggage on its back, snoring impatiently, as if what he had just experienced was a dream.
"Is this difficulty over?"
Xuan Zang straightened his cassock, led his horse forward, and planned to leave the tiger's den first. The smell here was really unpleasant.
As soon as he left, Taibai Jinxing in the tiger's den took action.
This good old man from Heaven was holding a fly whisk and started killing in various ways. The little demon who had just pushed Xuanzang and even touched Xuanzang’s head was not spared. They were all beaten to death by Taibaijinxing. .
Seeing the old man's violent appearance, General Yin turned his hands into sharp tiger claws and took the initiative to attack:
"Where did the stinking Taoist priest dare to run wild on my territory?"< br>
The expected monk's dip in garlic paste was gone. General Yin was very angry. He roared like a tiger and wanted to tear Taibai Jinxing alive.
The special agent and Xiong Shanjun were very open-minded:
"The monk is gone when he is gone, and the same goes for eating this Taoist priest. The old ones are chewy."
Zhang Daoling, who was watching in mid-air He and Ksitigarbha were all so happy. They never thought that the three monsters of Gongzhou were all fucking gourmets...
Zhang Daoling said:
“Such a monster, it would be a pity to kill it and throw it away. , I will take it away later, let Lady Yunxiao process it into delicious food, and send it to the real world to share with His Highness the Holy Son.”
Ksitigarbha is a vegetarian and is not interested in such things. Instead, he has doubts about Lao Zhang’s motives:
“You don’t want to curry favor with the newly promoted Holy Princess Yunxiao Empress, do you?”
Zhang Daoling didn’t hide anything:
“Who wouldn’t want to curry favor with a top-notch Daluo who is only one step away from being a saint? If Wukong encounters a disaster in the future, he might even need the cross-border help of Empress Yunxiao.”
As soon as he heard this, Ksitigarbha quickly clasped his hands together:
"Empress Yunxiao knows how to advance and retreat, is sensible, and has a kind heart. She is indeed a perfect match for His Royal Highness the Holy Son."
Zhang Daoling grinned:
"You guys are too smooth to be like a monk."
Ksitigarbha sighed slightly:
"After Master named me the future Buddha, the young monk once asked him what to pay attention to when becoming a Buddha. He asked me to forget the Buddhist principles. The more tactful I am, the more Buddhist I will be. Prosperity.”
Xuanzang, a technical talent who studied Buddhism, could devote himself to studying Buddhism.
But as a Buddha, you need to frequently communicate with the outside world, establish good relations with all forces in the heaven, and be good at sorting out internal conflicts. This cannot be done by relying on Buddhist teachings, but must be diplomatic.
Management ability and business ability are two different things. Now Ksitigarbha must make this change so that Buddhism can go further. While the two were talking about this, the fighting in the cave had already extended outside.
Don't look at Taibai Jinxing's old arms and legs, shaking every step and looking like they are about to fall apart at any time, but every time he makes a move, he can make the three demons of Gongzhou scream again and again.
During the fight, Taibai Jinxing deliberately failed to restrain his divine power, so that all the little demons around him disappeared under the impact of the divine power, and even their souls were gone.
This is the strength of heavenly civil servants.
The situation is not good, the old man is getting fiercer and fiercer as he fights... Xiong Shanjun winked at the special officer, then abandoned General Yin and ran away without any sense of loyalty.
Taibai Jinxing waved his hand, and two silk threads separated from the whisk, which quickly became larger and longer. They tied Xiongshanjun and Special Agent tightly and hung them upside down on a nearby cliff.
Then he picked up the whisk in his hand and slapped General Yin hard on the head of the tiger, and kept cursing:
"Dip it in garlic paste! Dip it in garlic paste! I'll let you dip it in garlic paste..."
Every time he was hit, General Yin wailed. Finally, he couldn't bear the pain and began to beg for mercy:
"Master Dao “Excuse me, can’t I stop eating garlic from now on?”
Taibai Jinxing:? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ?
Did I hit you because you ate garlic?
Before coming here, he had already checked the information about this tiger demon and asked the nearby mountain god. He found out that this guy actually ate thousands of people and often invited his friends to have human body parties.
Thinking of the advice of Empress Nuwa, Taibai Jinxing involuntarily increased the intensity of the whipping, and soon the tiger demon, whose head was full of garlic paste, was whipped to death.
Then he took the initiative and beat Xiong Shanjun and Special Agent to death. By the way, he killed all the little demons in the two demon caves. He also used his divine power to purify the nearby demons and restore justice to the world.
After doing this, Taibai Jinxing once again changed back to the trembling old Taoist appearance, and caught up with Xuanzang who was riding forward:
"The man-eating goblin has been executed, the holy monk can continue On the road.”
"Thank you, Immortal, Wukong is just ahead. Immortal, please go say hello and ask him to wait patiently for two days. Don't blame the young monk for his slow pace."
Taibai Jinxing has not seen Wukong for five hundred years. After hearing this, he said goodbye and flew away, heading straight to the Two Realms Mountain where Wukong was imprisoned.
On the other side, Zhang Daoling fell from the air and saw tiger carcasses, bear carcasses, and cow carcasses that were several sizes larger than the house. He kept muttering about the shameful waste, and then put away the ingredients.
Well, it’s not that we are always greedy, the main reason is that His Royal Highness the Holy Son advocates diligence and frugality. As the office director of the Wa Palace, we must practice it and actively respond to the call.
After taking away the body, Lao Zhang deliberately cut off a nearby hilltop in order to add merit to Taibai Jinxing, and carved the characters "Taibai Subdued Demons" before leaving the world of Journey to the West.
Returning to the Wa Palace, he ducked out and arrived at Chaoge City in the Fengshen World. Following the rules of a mortal, he raised his hand and knocked on the wooden door of Sanxiao Courtyard.
“Come on, come on!”
Qiong Xiao’s cheerful voice soon came from the courtyard.
The wooden door opened and she saw Zhang Daoling. Qiong Xiao was a little surprised:
"Old Zhang, why are you here?"
Zhang Daoling said with a smile:
"I bought some ingredients in the world of Journey to the West and gave them to you to try... Where is Empress Yunxiao?"
"The eldest sister is in retreat carving the plaque of [Man can conquer nature] Come on, come on, let me make tea for you...Lao Zhang, can you take me with you next time you buy ingredients? I haven’t been to Journey to the West yet.”
Zhang Daoling didn’t dare to agree:< br>
“This matter requires Empress Yunxiao’s nod.”
He knew very well the level of trouble this girl was capable of, so he didn't dare to agree hastily. If she got into trouble there, both worlds might be disrupted.
Walking into the courtyard, Qiong Xiao waved, and a pavilion appeared in the courtyard, complete with stone tables and benches, and a complete set of tea sets on the table.
Obviously, this is where Sanxiao usually entertains guests.
Yunxiao, who was in seclusion, sensed that there were guests in the yard and came out specially. After Zhang Daoling saw the ceremony, he released the three corpses, which frightened Qiongxiao:
“Wow haha, there’s some soy sauce beef to eat!”
If such a big cow is marinated, it can eat several meals.
As for bear carcasses and tiger carcasses, they can be made into air-dried meat.
Anyway, there is meat to eat!
The skins of cows, bears, and tigers that were peeled off were not wasted. They were given to Wen Zhong and asked him to make some clothes for Wu Wenhua. When Wu Wenhua came to thank him, he nudged him to buy some clothes outside the city. Duck makes ginger duck, perfect!
Qiong Xiao arranged the ingredients in front of her like a planner.
Yun Xiao recalled the plot of "Journey to the West" and asked curiously:
"Is this the body of the three demons of Gongzhou?"
"Yes, they were just beaten to death by Taibai Jinxing Li Changgeng. In line with the principle of not wasting, Pindao specially sent it here. If the empress has time, she can make it into delicious food and send it to the real world for His Majesty the Son to taste. "
Yunxiao. Said:
“No problem, I will also give some to the Empress and the Heavenly Master.”
After saying that, the beautiful fairy gently flicked her sleeves, and the three corpses flew precariously into the air, and began to peel and decompose themselves. There was a pool of spring water next to them, and they began to wash the meat.
The whole process was a bit bloody, and Yunxiao deliberately covered it with clouds and mist to avoid scaring the people in Chaoge City.
Zhang Daoling didn't bother him much, drank a cup of tea and left.
Next, Xuanzang in Journey to the West will meet Liu Boqin, the Taibao of Zhenshan.
It is also interesting to say that this Orion Liu Boqin is just a mortal, but he can frighten the poisonous insects and monsters, evil tigers and pythons in the mountains. Wherever he stands, he can scare the beasts away without having to take action. .
The Shuangcha Ridge where he lived was only half a day away from the territory of the three demons of Gongzhou, but the three demons who liked to eat people never dared to provoke him. Instead, they allowed Liu Boqin to eat their descendants.
This is not a mortal, he is simply the mountain god himself!
When Zhang Daoling returned to the world of Journey to the West, Xuanzang was being besieged by various poisonous insects and beasts, and the white horse was so frightened that it could not even stand up.
"This must also be a difficulty, right?"
Xuan Zang took out a bottle of mineral water from his robe and took two sips. Just as he was about to call for help again, the tigers and poisonous insects around him suddenly scattered in all directions. escape.
The mountain Taibao finally arrived...Xuan Zang muttered, stuffed the mineral water bottle back into his robe, straightened the monk's clothes again, saw a figure walking quickly from a distance, and quickly thanked him.
"I am a hunter in this mountain. My surname is Liu Boqin, and my nickname is Zhenshan Taibao. I was going to find two tigers for food today, but I didn't want to meet you."
Xuan Zang thanked Liu Boqin again. Said:
"You don't need to be so polite. You and I are both common people of the Tang Dynasty, so it should be like this. It's getting late today. Elder, why don't you stay at my house for the night. I'll take you across the mountain tomorrow."
"Thank you Taibao!"
The two of them had not gone far when a beautiful tiger jumped out. Xuanzang was so frightened that his legs became weak.
The tiger roared, and after a closer look, he found that Liu Boqin was also there, so he turned around and ran away.
Liu Boqin's eyes sparkled with joy, he caught up with the steel fork, and fought with the tiger.
After a few rounds, the tiger died and died. Liu Boqin, without blushing or panting, carried the dead tiger on his shoulders with a smile on his face:
"This bastard must have smelled the elder's scent, which was strange. He wanted to jump out and eat people, but he just fell into the trap... Elder, walk faster. I'll stew the meat when you get home, so you can enjoy it."
You killed a national first-class protected animal...Xuan Zang proclaimed the Buddha's name, led his horse and followed Liu Boqin.
Seeing this, Zhang Daoling in mid-air breathed a sigh of relief.
Following Liu Boqin, Xuanzang will not be in danger. When Liu Boqin escorts him across the mountain, he will meet Sun Wukong again. From then on, Xuanzang has no fear of his life.
As soon as he waved the whisk, there was a box of Dule bananas in his hand. Taking advantage of Xuanzang's stay at Liu Boqin's house, he went to see Wukong again and convey the empress's wishes.
When they arrived at Liangjie Mountain, Zhang Daoling was about to go down when he saw Taibai Jinxing and Mountain God sitting in front of Wukong, one on the left and one on the right, holding a handful of colorful playing cards in their hands.
Wukong put the cards in his hands together skillfully, with excitement in his voice:
“Call the Landlord!”
