Chapter 43 Sitting on the Earth Immortals, Wukong Ignorance
However, it is said that Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice passed through the Liusha River and took Sha Wujing as his apprentice. At this point, the four people on the west will finally be in one place. Then, Sha Wujing turned his skeleton necklace into a thing to cross the river and carried Tang Sanzang across the Liusha River. The whole process was very smooth, which made Tang Sanzang very happy.
Tang Sanzang was happy, but Shakyamuni Buddha, who was far away in the Western Bliss World, was not happy. The difficulty of the Liusha River was included by him, but now Sha Wujing has not been embarrassed by Tang Sanzang and others. Naturally, it is not difficult, so he has to plan again. This made Shakyamuni Buddha angry. He did not pay attention to this difficulty, but interrupting his practice made him angry. So he swore that he would take revenge later.
After Tang Sanzang and others crossed the Liusha River, they went west again. Not long after, he met the waiters of Guanyin Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Manjushri Bodhisattva and Puxian Bodhisattva to test whether the Buddha's heart of the four masters and disciples was firm.
At present, the four people became an old mother and her three daughters, and wanted to recruit Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice as their son-in-law. Tang Sanzang, Sun Wukong and Sha Monk firmly refused, while Zhu Bajie's heart did not retreat and agreed. They were punished by the three Bodhisattvas and finally suffered in the rain. Since then, the hearts of the four masters and apprentices have been much firm. And Shakyamuni Buddha, who was far away in the west, was relieved to see that Tang Sanzang and others had finally gone through a difficult time.
It turned out that Shakyamuni Buddha was afraid of intercepting the religion and playing tricks again. Although there was an agreement between the two religions, Shakyamuni Buddha was still not very reassuring. Now that the four saints were not stopped by the people who intercepted the religion, he immediately felt at ease.
In the heart of Shakyamuni Buddha, as long as the interception is not difficult for Buddhism, the person and the second religion will definitely not prevent the transmission of Buddhism, not to mention that Laozi and the primitive still owe the cause and effect of Buddhism, and promised to help the teaching of Buddhism. Therefore, Shakyamuni Buddha has no worries about people and the interpretation of the second religion. At most, they are just a little trouble. Now the interception that has been bothering him is no longer difficult for him. Shakyamuni Buddha has no scruples and handed over the full power of the journey to the west to Guanyin Bodhisattva, and he practiced at ease.
After Tang Sanzang's master and apprentice passed the difficulty of the four saints, they set out again and went to the west.
Not long after, the four people came to the five villas of Longevity Mountain. However, there is no primitive Tianzun's help this time (please ask Zhen Yuanzi to talk about it), but Zhen Yuanzi is sitting in the middle of the view. In this way, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing have no blessings to eat the ginseng fruit.
However, this Zhen Yuanzi is an exquisite person, but he does not want to offend Buddhism. Therefore, he also entertains Tang Sanzang's masters and apprentices very well. Although he did not offer spiritual things such as ginseng fruit to taste it, he did not lose his etiquette.
Among them, there was a small episode, but because Sun Wukong saw Zhen Yuanzi couplet in front of Wuzhuang Guanmen and thought it was too arrogant, so he wanted to compete with Zhen Yuanzi. Zhen Yuanzi was speechless about this. He was a listening figure in Zixiao Palace. His cultivation had already reached the quasi-sacred realm. Naturally, he disdained to fight with Sun Wukong, a small golden fairy. Zhen Yuanzi disdained to take action, but raised the monkey's momentum. Even if he said that Zhen Yuanzi was the cowhide king, Zhen Yuanzi frowned.
And the people accompanying him, Tang Sanzang naturally need not to say more. Now he is just a mortal, and his intelligence is blinded. Naturally, he doesn't know who Zhen Yuanzi is. However, Zhu Bajie knew the origin of Zhen Yuanzi and secretly laughed at Sun Wukong's ability, but he did not say anything to stop him. He only watched the fun. As for Sha Wujing, although he was a disciple of interpretation, he started late, and he was just a famous disciple. He didn't know much about some major events of the flood, and he didn't know who Zhen Yuanzi was, so he watched the hustle and bustle with Zhu Bajie.
Subsequently, Zhen Yuanzi couldn't stand the entanglement of the Monkey King, so he used the skill of the universe in his sleeve to make the Monkey King suffer a loss. Originally, Zhen Yuanzi thought that after the Monkey King suffered a loss, he would stop. Unfortunately, it was contrary to his wishes. After the Monkey King suffered a loss, the entanglement of Zhen Yuanzi did not decrease but increased.
It turned out that the Monkey King was suppressed by Zhen Yuanzi, and he knew that he had met a master. He was eager to know, so he asked Zhen Yuanzi for advice. Zhen Yuanzi naturally didn't want to tell it, but the Monkey King was really annoying. Zhen Yuanzi was so annoyed that he had no choice but to agree in the end. However, Zhen Yuanzi made up his mind to answer the monkey's question and never take the initiative to say anything.
At present, the two of them came to the hall and planned to talk about it. There were also Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing accompanying him. As for Tang Sanzang, he didn't know which room he hid in to recite scriptures.
After the four of them sat down, Sun Wukong asked, "Which sect does the Taoist priest belong to?"
As soon as he said this, Zhen Yuanzi was stunned, and Zhu Bajie beside him almost laughed and hurriedly lowered his head, but his shoulders shrugged, and Sha Wujing beside him was puzzled. He didn't know why Zhu Bajie was like this. So he asked, "Second brother, but you are not feeling well?"
After listening to this, Zhu Bajie hurriedly put away his emotions and said, "There's nothing to do, nothing to do, brother, don't worry." After saying that, he looked at Zhen Yuanzi with no expression on his face and said to himself, "Zhen Yuanzi, Zhen Yuanzi! You will suffer when you meet this monkey.
When Zhen Yuanzi heard Sha Wujing's mouth, he suddenly came to his senses and looked at the Monkey King calmly, but he was slandered in his heart and said secretly, "You are a saint, what kind of sage disciple is this!" Even the monster with more advanced cultivation is much better than him.
When Sun Wukong saw that Zhen Yuanzi refused to answer for a long time, he was very puzzled. He thought about it for a moment and continued to ask, "The Taoist priest is worry-free. Even if we are a hostile sect, my grandson will not be embarrassed with the Taoist priest, let alone look for people from the sect. Taoist priest can rest assured."
After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Zhu Bajie couldn't stand it any longer. He hurriedly got up and ran out and shouted to the three people, "My old pig has a stomachache. You can talk first." After saying that, he ran out of the hall, found a secluded place, and then covered his stomach and laughed.
At this time, Zhen Yuanzi, who was still in the hall, listened to Sun Wukong's words and was speechless. He cursed in his heart, "What the hell is this?" It's ridiculous to sit and talk with this monkey!" Thinking of this, Zhen Yuanzi was afraid that the Monkey King would say something shocking again, and hurriedly said, "That's not the case, but it's because the poor way does not belong to any sect, so I don't know how to answer the Great Sage. I hope the Great Sage will forgive me."
From this, it can be seen that Zhen Yuanzi is a cautious person. He is so polite to Sun Wukong, a junior, and his tone of respect is extraordinary. However, it is precisely because of this surname that Zhen Yuanzi may have no hope to prove it all his life. Thinking about the road of Taoism, it is very difficult. How can you not think about the future? With such a surname, it is no wonder that he has not made any progress in his cultivation over the years.
Sun Wukong listened to Zhen Yuanzi's words and smiled, "So it is, but my grandson misunderstood." After a pause, Sun Wukong's eyes turned, and then said, "In this case, the Taoist priest might as well join my Buddhism, so that I can take care of him."
After saying that, Sun Wukong saw Zhu Bajie, who had just walked into the hall, screaming and shouted, "Oh, my old pig's stomach hurts again." After saying that, he turned around and ran out.
Zhen Yuanzi looked at the Monkey King with a serious face and cursed in his heart, but he couldn't say a word.
When Sun Wukong saw this, he thought that Zhen Yuanzi was so happy that he couldn't speak. He immediately became very proud and said, "Don't worry, my old grandson will definitely introduce you to the Taoist priest."
After listening to this, Zhen Yuanzi no longer expected the monkey in his heart. He said directly, "The Great Sage is kind and poor, but the poor has never thought of joining any sect." After a pause, he reminded, "Da Sheng, don't you have some questions to ask the poor? Let's talk about these little things later. Let's get to the point later.
When Sun Wukong saw Zhen Yuanzi's refusal, he said "It's a pity" in his heart, but he didn't mean it. He said, "Okay, just follow the will of the Taoist priest." After saying that, Sun Wukong lowered his head and pondered for a moment, and then asked, "Do you know who is the most powerful of these three worlds?"
Zhen Yuanzi listened to Sun Wukong's words, and his eyes flashed and asked, "Is the Great Sage talking about the three worlds?"
Sun Wukong listened to this, but he was a little puzzled. Is there anything wrong outside the three worlds? Sun Wukong has never been there, so he nodded and said, "Yes, it's in the three worlds."
Zhen Yuanzi listened and nodded slightly. Just as he was about to speak, he saw Zhu Bajie coming in. So Zhen Yuanzi waited for Zhu Bajie to sit down, and then said, "The most powerful person in the three worlds really doesn't know that he is poor. After all, everyone has never tried. Moreover, everyone has their own way, but some people just restrain some people, but this person is worse than those who are defeated. Such things are everywhere. Therefore, it is not easy to judge.
Sun Wukong was slightly disappointed when he heard Zhen Yuanzi's words.
Zhen Yuanzi saw this and said with a smile, "Although I don't know who is the most powerful person in the three worlds, I know the most powerful person among the four religions." After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes flashed, and his face was also a little grim. Hearing this, Zhu Bajie also looked at Zhen Yuanzi with burning eyes, and his expression was quite intriguing.
Hearing this, Sun Wukong was immediately overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Please give me some advice!"
Zhen Yuanzi took a deep look at the Monkey King and said lightly, "As early as tens of thousands of years ago, the first person of the Four Religions had a fixed number. This person is the Holy Mother of the Turtle Spirit of Interception. It has been in this position for tens of thousands of years, and it is recognized as the first of the four teachings. After saying that, Zhen Yuanzi's eyes were bright and he was a little eager to try.
It turns out that since the Virgin Mary of the Turtle received this title, not only the disciples of the four sects, but also many immortals in the flood also want to challenge her. Among these countless challengers, there are Zhen Yuanzi, Minghe Taoist, demon master Kunpeng and other guests in Zixiao Palace. Therefore, Zhen Yuanzi showed such a look.
Sun Wukong listened to Zhen Yuanzi's words, frowned, and muttered, "Except! Our Lady of the Turtle Spirit!"
After a while, the Monkey King came to his senses and continued to ask, "Which is stronger or weaker than the Yunxiao fairy?"
Zhen Yuanzi looked at Sun Wukong doubtfully, but was surprised that Sun Wukong knew the name of Yunxiao. With the performance of Sun Wukong just now, it was simply impossible. However, Zhen Yuanzi did not delve into it. He lowered his head and thought for a moment and said, "That Yunxiao fairy is really powerful, and he has not been defeated since his debut. However, she and the Holy Mother of the Turtle are sisters, and the two have never had a fight. Therefore, they don't know which one is stronger or weaker, but it should be that the Virgin of the Turtle Spirit is better.
What Zhen Yuanzi didn't expect was that after listening to these words, Sun Wukong was directly stunned on the spot and couldn't speak for a long time
